If the steam seems indelible, youhaven't tried Incredible And now fifty plus

(00:48):
with Doug Pike. Welcome aboard Thursday. It is sunny and warm Thursday.
That is supposedly going to transition gentlyinto a pleasant Thursday night, then a
nice Friday, nice weekend if we'reable to believe the forecasters. And if

(01:10):
they're wrong and it rains on yourstreet, well, what's a new Right?
Stocks flat as a pancake again,only marginal movement early, at least
behind some early news about nothing oilsdown a tick and gold. I'm I'm
adding gold to this quick rundown becauseit's moved pretty well. It's well I

(01:30):
wouldn't say, well, it's justmoved significantly at least gold down forty or
fifty bucks and ounce from where itpeaked a couple of weeks ago. And
that's enough. All that up tospeed and off to the races we go
with several interesting stories, snapshots intoour country and our world that on a

(01:51):
Thursday are going to be a mixof both positive and negative stuff. I've
got a blend in a little bitof both today so that I have room
tomorrow for good news Friday. Iwon't give you any bad news tomorrow.
It will either be good news orinteresting news, or somehow worth sharing types

(02:16):
of news conversation starters, if youwill. I had something else in mind
as a lead, but I'm goingto hold it for a minute and go
to this which I just saw maybeI don't know, maybe twenty minutes ago.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said this week. I believe it was during an

(02:38):
interview at Howard University that expansions toTitle nine to permit male athletes in female
sports are necessary to protect kids fromwhat he calls elected bullies. Outside of
an NBC for Washington report on Wednesday, yesterday, Title nine goes back to

(03:02):
nineteen seventy two, and it prohibitedfederally funded schools from discriminating on the basis
of sex. But this new proposal, release by the administration all the way
back in June of twenty twenty two, would broaden its scope to include transgender
students and prohibit schools from enforcing acategorical ban on transgender athletes. That's from

(03:29):
the DOE website. More than twodozen states already enacted laws that prohibit athletes
from competing on teams that do notalign with their biological sex, which Cardona
said during an interview is a formof bullying. Here's a direct quote from

(03:50):
this guy. He actually said this, and I quote the title nine proposed
rule. I want to make sureall kids can go to school free discrimination
period. We have elected bullies rightnow going after kids. Look, it's
not a black and white issue.It's very difficult. It's very nuanced,

(04:13):
and our proposal just ensures that allstudents have a fair shake. End quote.
No, it doesn't. It's notnuanced at all. It's biological boys
competing with unfair physical advantages against thevery people, young women, tens of
millions of young women in this country. That Title nine was intended to protect

(04:38):
and for which it should provide afair shake in competition for them as well
as anybody else. By throwing asidethe protections offered to girls by Title nine,
Cardona is just subjecting these tens ofmillions of young women, young girls.

(04:58):
He's subjecting them to bullying by ahandful of liberal shortsighted. I don't
know what else is wrong with thosepeople. Politicians, politicians are doing this,
and for what reason, I'm reallynot sure, except maybe to distract
us from more important issues in thiscountry. And there are plenty. Oh,

(05:20):
by the way, I have ascam alert and will you should pay
attention this? Could you could fallfor this as well? And I've actually
seen this. I've had it comeacross my screen before and I immediately just
my radar went off and I said, no, big red on the radar
and I killed it as quick asI saw it making the rounds on Facebook,

(05:45):
where some friend of yours, allegedlyand this is a hacked friend,
sends you a message that says,look who died in an accident. I
think you know him? So sorry. If you get it, do not
click on the link. It isa fishing scam to steal your information.
You'll end up having to reset yourFacebook password after you go through a thousand

(06:08):
steps because you don't remember what yourcurrent Facebook password is, and that's just
messed up. All right, whenwe come back, I'm gonna I'm gonna
pause here. I'll give you aquick shot will on um geography news.
These are all gonna be short geographynews, Life's too hard or Time's up?

(06:30):
Geography news. Shortest of the three. This will be easy? How
far pop quiz? Will How fardoes the North Pole shift every year?
How far? Um? I'm gonnago with answering the form of a question.
What is oh no, oh no, you're close, You're a really

(06:55):
closed? Will on this one thirtyfour miles? So yeah, you missed
by like what a trillion? Idon't tree in times. That's okay,
all right, Let's take a breakearly here so I don't get rushed into
the second segment or the third orthe fourth. Kirk Holmes is a third
generation thirty plus years actually in businessbuilding brand new, beautiful custom homes for

(07:21):
people who want to see their dreamhome become reality. They build all over
Southeast Texas, starting at the GulfCoast and mostly throughout like the northwest side
maybe of Houston, and then allthe way out to San Antonio to Austin

(07:41):
to College Station. That's where they'vegot that beautiful Mission Ranch Southern Living showcase
home that's now for sale. Bythe way, if you want to just
live in or move into somebody's dreamhome, the culmination of a collaboration by
all the designers and everybody else involvedat Kirkholmes, then go up there and
take a look at that place andsee if you like it, and if

(08:03):
you do, they'll sell it toyou. Kirkholmes has been around a long
time. The only thing consistent amongall the homes they build, and I've
been in five or six of them, they're all totally unique. But the
consistency is in that twenty year structuralwarranty I talk about, which is twice
the standard, and in the twoby six exterior walls which give you fifty

(08:26):
percent more insulation against the heat andcold of summer and winter, respectively.

(09:09):
All right, welcome back to tiftyplus. I'm Doug. He's will.
We'll be here all week. Tipyour server whatever. I've heard that before
comedy clubs. There was a comedyclub in this town years ago, and
I don't even remember the name ofit, honestly, but it was a
good one and they were very friendlyto media people, and my wife and

(09:31):
I would go regularly to just seewho was in town even and saw some
fantastic comedy. It was fun,very fun. All right. Moving on,
and like I said, today isThursday, and since I've made sure
moving forward to make Friday's good newsFridays, I've got a stuff in some

(09:52):
things today that aren't going to beappropriate for tomorrow, but I want to
get them in. The first storyis proof positive. I feel like that,
at least in some parts of thecountry, we have raised an entire
generation, maybe two, of cheaters, lying, law breaking rule, ignoring,

(10:15):
people who dodge responsibility and take everyopportunity legal or not to get something
they want without paying for it,rather than contribute to society. Ultimately,
they're just stealing from it. NewYork City, Okay, not my favorite
place on the planet for a lotof reasons, but I gotta give them.

(10:37):
I kind of feel sorry for him. There's a little bit of a
pity thing going on here for NewYork City, because what I learned this
morning is that it's Metropolitan Transit Authority, the MTA, which it relies very
heavily on money generated by its subwayand surface transportation systems. They got to

(10:58):
keep those trains running, keep thosebuses rolling, and keep New Yorkers moving
comfortably, and at least in theory, I guess safely around that great city
that wants great city. It's notexpensive to ride either, and it's a
heck a lot cheaper than taking atax. You're actually trying to own a
car, rent a parking place,and then drive yourself and pay one hundred

(11:20):
million dollars for another parking space.So this past year, this past year,
New York City's MTA lost. Popquiz will how much money you think
New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority lostto fair and toll evasion people just jumped
over the turnstiles. How much money? Maybe maybe a couple of bucks,

(11:45):
maybe like twenty or so. No, really, come on, take a
legit shot. Let's will Melbourne worthy. They lost one million dollars, Well,
you're only six hundred ninety times off. They lost six hundred and ninety
million dollars to people cheating for arude. That's almost I did the math.

(12:07):
Okay, it's almost one hundred andninety thousand dollars a day. That
a service provided to New Yorkers thatwill take them all over the city for
next to nothing, and they won'teven pay next to nothing. I looked
it up. A Metro card,the actual card, it's like a kind
of like a credit card or adebit card. It's just a plastic card.

(12:28):
You pay one dollar to get thecard and then you use it kind
of like a debit card. Youswipe it and it takes some money off.
Or it's kind of like you're ifyou had a card instead of a
tag for the easy tag use stufflike that. If you load it with
one hundred and twenty seven dollars,you get unlimited access to the subway and

(12:48):
the bus system for an entire monthfor one hundred and twenty seven bucks.
That's in New York City. That'schump change. That's a happy meal,
unlimited bet. The base fair perride is two dollars and seventy five cents,
so for sixty times that you canride all over town as many times

(13:13):
as you want. And even thatbase fair at two seventy five, you
get onto the train or the bus, and then you get free transfers to
finish out wherever you need to go. And so many people cheated that system
that it almost lost seven hundred,six hundred ninety million, to be precise
and correct, six hundred ninety millionbucks. I am sure that the people

(13:37):
who work at Metro, the hardworking people who keep those trains running and
buses moving, I'm pretty sure theycould use a raise, maybe a little
bit of recognition for their hard work. And I'd be willing to bet that
six hundred and ninety million dollars couldgo pretty far toward making that happen.
The people who ride free think they'rethey're beating the system. What they don't

(13:58):
realize is that they're just they're beatingtheir own city to its knees. They've
lost pride in their city, they'velost respect for the people who run it,
and I don't care Democrat or Republicandoesn't matter really right now in New
York or anywhere else. Somehow,though, those New Yorkers need to find
a reason to care about their cityagain, because they're just about to lose
it. Between that and several dozenNew York City hotels housing nothing but migrants

(14:26):
who've come into this country of oursin the last couple of years. How
many fingers was that? Will?Was that one finger? Or two?
Oh? I was just wiping,wiping the air? Yeah? Times two?
Oh? Just one? Well,I mean you have more than two
minutes, oh, two and ahalf. You just raise your hand randomly.

(14:50):
I told you I was wiping mywiping my head. Oh, okay,
call me a pessimist, but Ibet there's pretty similar abuse of transit
systems in almost all the major citiesin this country. The major cities have
been, they've become, they're stillmajor, they've still got some pretty significant
populations, but they're not being populatedby people who apparently care about rules.

(15:18):
On the good news from New York, Actually, something really good happened there
this week. Back two things happened. One, a city rescue team was
able to secure an emotionally disturbed manwho had climbed out a window of the
Staten Island Ferry and was clinging tothe side of the boat, just standing

(15:41):
on a little ledge there and aboutto jump into the water and presumably take
his own life. There's video ofthe whole rescue, which had to have
been This is something that had tohave been practiced more than a couple of
times by this group of rescuers tohave gone so smoothly and so successfully.
What they did was they had peopleapproach him from both sides outside the boat

(16:06):
on that little ledge, the sameledge he's standing on, and as they
got a little closer and a littlecloser, probably telling him that they needed
to get closer so they could hearhim and he could hear them, or
for whatever reasons, they got kindof close, and when he turned his
head to talk to the guy onhis left, they got on the right,
jumped over and just grabbed him andpinned him up against that wall,

(16:26):
and then they all kind of movedin and scooted him back to an open
window and moved him back inside theboat. That type of training is probably
I've been a guest financed somehow,at least in part by Metro and I
hope that city can find a wayto keep those guys trained him ready for

(16:47):
the next time they're needed. That'sjust that's the kind of stuff that the
people who cheat the system don't thinkthey'll ever needn't wouldn't even think of needing
actually the services of law enforcement orrescuers or anything like that. They're living
in their own little world thinking nothing'sgonna happen to them, and ultimately,

(17:11):
if it doesn't happen to them,it'll probably happen to somebody they know.
Speaking of let's go to Minnesota,shall we, where all kinds of fun
things are going on, the Stateof Minnesota's Democratic Senate just passed a bill.
Oh now I gotta go. I'lltell you about that when I get
back. You're gonna yeah, thiswill be of interest to most of this

(17:32):
audience. Fifty plus is happy.I'm happy to be able now in the
last month or two to start sharinga consumer show that caters only to seniors
and all the things that we wantor need or probably should pay attention to.
Whatever you need to go to oneof these shows, you really do.
There's one coming up today actually atthe GSH Convention Center on West belt

(17:59):
for near Beltway eight. If youknow where West Belford and Beltway eighth cross
and can get to that corner,you can find the GSH Convention Center.
Inside it today and they opened,I want to say at ten o'clock.
I believe they'll be open all afternoon. Inside you'll find exhibitors who can tell
you all about medicare. They cantell you all about hearing aids. They

(18:22):
can tell you about handyman services,about insurance, about home remark all kinds
of things that we need to knowabout, travel, your money, things
of interest to seniors like me andlike you. I've been to a couple
of these shows. They're fantastic.Find the next show, well, I've
already told you where the next showis. To find a complete list of

(18:45):
upcoming shows, and there are twomore this summer right here in the Greater
Houston area. Go to Senior TradeShows dot com. That's Senior Trade Shows
dot com. Once life with that, I suggest you go to bed,
sleep it off. Just wait untilthis show's over, is sleepy. Back
to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues, and welcome back fifty plus. Thank

(19:21):
you for listening. I'm Doug.He's will, and we are at the
halfway pole. I guess will rightclose to it a little past the halfway
mark at thirty five. That's whatI have on my watch to watch.
It continues to run despite it sittingin the garage for like two and a
half or three years. It's justbeen sitting out there. I knew exactly

(19:41):
where it was. I stepped overit twenty times to grab lures and whatnot.
But there it was, and Ibrought it inside because I was gonna
go get the battery changed on it. I brought it inside. I end
next time we go to the mall, you know, like maybe the time
I leave my phone there a weekago. That's another story. I think
I've already told that. But Ilooked down at it on the dresser and

(20:03):
it was running. I don't knowwhat restarted it. I think it was
just kind of like, hey,I've seen now that you're wearing that other
watch, and I don't like it. It's a little jealousy thing. Maybe
hands off the other watch. Itsaid, put me on your wrist,
And so I have so back tothis other side of the ledger, back
off of the good news and ontosomething that really concerns me. Minnesota's Democratic

(20:26):
Senate just passed a bill to createstricter gun laws if it ever, if
it makes it through the entire legislaturethere and then onto the governor's desk for
signature, which god knows in Minnesotacould happen. It includes what's called a
red flag law, and any ofyou who are close to the Second Amendment

(20:49):
will be understanding of the red flaglaw and will know the implications of such.
But here's what it does. Whatit does is authorities can go to
court and tell a judge that theguns owned by somebody they deemed to be

(21:10):
an imminent threat need to be takenaway for the safety of the community.
Never mind how that person might needthat gun for self defense, never mind
that that person has, in noway, shape or form ever really been
a threat to anybody. But thatred flag law opens it up to interpretation

(21:32):
by people who may not see youthe way you see yourself. And so
let's put two and two together andsee where that puts us in an extreme
case, because I was taught twentysomething years ago by a Louisiana attorney that
the effectiveness of any law can bemeasured by how well, it will stand
up to an extreme test. Andjust this week, by the way,

(21:56):
in quick sidebar, we learned thatthe latest group perceived to be a domestic
threat to our nation by the FBIis wait for it, pro life mothers.
Federal governments decided that women that motherswho are pro life and nothing more
than that, are a threat toour country. Whistleblowers are talking about this

(22:18):
now to anyone who will listen,and they've already been There's been some retaliation
accused at some pretty high levels.Anyway, I might tackle that individually next
week, but still I'll stick withthe Minnesota Minnesota angle for them. So
if a liberal Minnesota law enforcement persondoesn't like the way a pro life mom

(22:41):
thinks, and that's all, justdoesn't like the way it doesn't like the
fact that she's pro life, andif that police officer can convince a liberal
judge in Minnesota that this conservative soccermom is somehow a danger to the community,
that mother's legally owned, never beeninvolved than a crime gun, the

(23:02):
one that is her only means ofself defense in a world in which we
all increasingly need to defend ourselves,especially women, especially people my age who
I'm never going to win another fistfight that gun can be taken from her
and potentially never returned. Never mindthe Second Amendment why it exists. They

(23:23):
know better what's good for us,and we just need to let them do
their jobs by taking away guns frommoms who just happened to think contrary to
the liberal doctrine. That should scareevery one of us to our core.
All right. Meanwhile, back togood news. The University of Georgia has

(23:45):
just graduated its first group of inmatestudents. Think about that, nine of
them in total, whose GPA's wereall higher than three point seven. No
courtesies given to these men, nospecial treatment. They completed sixty plus hours

(24:07):
of course study, sixty plus credithours while they were incarcerated. Three of
them had GPAs between three point nineand four point zero. This is a
fantastic a fantastic time in that state, in that system. So regardless of

(24:30):
what they did to land where theylanded, regardless of how long they're going
to be there, I applaud everyone of those nine men for devoting the
time and effort it took to turnsomething that they may not have ever thought
about doing before into reality. Whilethey were in prison. They earned those

(24:51):
diplomas, no question about it,and hats off to them. How much
time if I got Willow two anda half minute two and a half,
I could get to two of these. I'll get into the weird one and
then I'll get to the good newsagain. Trend now in big company marketing.
We've all seen it, wherein theyassociate their products, some of these
bigger companies visually, at least withmen dressed in women's clothing. I'm not

(25:15):
gonna talk about that one way orthe other. That's just the trend,
nevertheless interesting and you don't ever seeit the opposite way either. You don't
see women dressed in men's clothing.But that's just a quick sidebar. So
this time, Adidas has introduced itsnew line of women's swimwear for the summer,
and the photograph they release this weekshows what is very clearly a man

(25:40):
in traditional women's one piece swimwear.It's too early to tell which way this
is gonna swing for Adidas, butI don't think they did themselves any favors
with the campaign. I'm not gonnajudge them. That's there. They can
do whatever they want with their marketingand more power to them. I just
there is. That's enough of thatgood news. Leftovers from Mother's Day include

(26:03):
a few quotes, presumably first utteredby moms and then repeated throughout history.
My favorite one of them all,and there were about ten. And I'm
only gonna read you too, butthere were about ten, my favorite of
all. Stop worrying about how?How? How? How? How?
Now, Doug dumb cow, neverworry about your the way your house looks.

(26:30):
God, I'll spit it out ina minute. They aren't gonna put
she had a clean house on yourgravestone. I'm gonna I'm gonna tell that
to my wife this evening. Sheworked very hard to keep the house clean,
and I applaud her for that.But sometimes she needs you to give
herself a break. Sit back,and you know it's okay to leave that
there for a minute. A fewweeks ago, I asked my young sing,

(26:51):
oh, no, I'm gonna holdthis one, because this is gonna
be fun. This is gonna bevery fun. When we get back.
I'll tell you about a little chanceI had, thanks to my weekend producer
Adam Snyder, to totally take myson and two of his friends by surprise
with my knowledge of young teen vernacular. Oh, I guess mid teens.

(27:15):
They're fifteen. UT Health Science CenterConsortium on Aging wouldn't see any of those
three boys because they are just that, they are boys, not senior men
or senior women. Seniors are theonly pit. That's a kind of a
recurring theme in those two phrases.Senior men senior women. We're the only
people who get seen at the Consortiumon Aging because everybody there specializes in and

(27:40):
is specially trained in senior medicine.You go in there, you lay out
the sentence, well, this wasthis was hurting me last week, and
it's kind of gone away, butit's still a little annoying sometimes. Right
when I get out of bed,I'm having trouble falling asleep. I can't
lose weight. That's gonna everybody raiseyour hand on that. It's so hard
these days and seniority now, isn'tit really other than when we were young?

(28:03):
But I digress. You go tothe Senior the Consortium's website, Okay,
take a look around, see whatthey can do. Maybe schedule an
appointment over there to get something addressedfor you that you really haven't had much
luck with with your your primary carephysician who sees you and your kids,
and your kids kids and anybody andeverybody who walks through the door. Talk

(28:26):
to somebody who knows you. Whatmakes you tick? Ut dot edu slash
aging ut dot edu slash aging.Now, they sure don't make them like
they used to. That's why everyfew months we wash them, check his
fluids, and spray on a freshcoat o wax. This is fifty plus

(28:48):
with Doug Pike. Listen, youdon't just sounds like well, it sounds
like it should be the soundtrack fora pickup truck commercial. And somebody,
somebody in dusty old blue jeans anda denim shirt or a flannel shirt ought

(29:14):
to be dragging something or carrying somethingreally heavy and throwing it in the back
of a truck. Does that cometo mind when you hear that? Or
no? Or do you hear girlscouts baking cookies? No? I don't
really hear anything that's true. WellI'll vouch for that. A few weeks
ago, I asked my young produceron the Weekends, Adam Snyder, single

(29:37):
guy. So he's in the know, he's the he's the in the moving
and shaking areas, and I wantedhim to teach me a couple of words
my teenage son and his friends mightbe using now, so that when the
right time came, I could dropa phrase or a word on them.
But they would never think I wouldknow something that if they said it between

(29:59):
themselves, they wouldn't think I hadany idea. And he gave me one.
The word is riz r i Z. It's not in the dictionary.
It's actually just an abbreviation of charisma. The more riz you have as a
teenage boy, the better your chancesof getting a date for Saturday night,
or maybe somebody accepting your invitation tothe prom, so you get what it

(30:22):
means. About a week ago,I get the call to go pick my
son up at the mall where heand two of his other friends have been
eating and just hanging around like dozensof other teenagers who hang around at the
mall on weekends. And as thethree of them came out of this little
place they'd been eating, I saidhi to the other two. I've known

(30:44):
them, I coached them in baseballand whatnot, And just then a car
full and they had summoned their ride, but their ride wasn't there yet,
and this car full of teenage girlsof high school girls rolls up and the
other two boys as my son's walkinto my car. The other two boys
walk over to their car and aretrying to talk the girls that had given

(31:06):
them a ride home. They allknow each other, they all live fairly
close to each other, so itwasn't a big deal if those guys could
have pulled it off, and itseemed to be kind of going in the
boy's favor. And then just withoutwarning, the girls roll up the windows
and drive away, at which timethe alarm went off in my head.

(31:29):
Now now, now, I said, loudly enough for all three boys to
hear. I said, dang son, your bros have no zero riz.
And my son looked at me likeI'd crack some secret language code and shouts,
how did you know that? Andthe other two turned and stared just

(31:51):
in disbelief, like who told himthat? So, now that that one's
been leaked and you, I'll throwit away like an old rag. Dang
son, your bros have zero riz. And I'm just gonna wait. Adam's
gonna give me a new word beforethe weekend, and I'm just gonna sit
on it, just like I didwith that one. It was about I

(32:14):
bet it was about a week anda half or two weeks after Adam gave
me that one. Will Do youhave anything I could use? Can you
think of anything? Oh? Youknow, I really just have old tiny
words. You know. You're yeah, you're a little you. And you
and Adam are different stages in life. For sure. You're kind of settled
in now. You're more like methan you are like him. Let's face

(32:37):
it, will I mean, Iwouldn't go that far, but I'll spring
chick anymore that farm. But Idon't really keep up that much. Understand
that's fair enough on a kind ofa very unsettling story. It really kind
of ticks me off to this pastweek, twenty nine year old illegal immigrant

(32:58):
from Honduras arrested in Alabama for rapinga teenage girl, accused of doing that
horrendous thing in the bathroom of arestaurant. This guy had a criminal record
in Honduras when he got here,and our Department of Homeland Security processed him
and cutting loose and he ended upworking also illegally in construction in Pratt Bill

(33:20):
Alabama. And that's where he didwhat he's alleged to have done. Since
late in twenty twenty one, accordingto Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnston Johnson, excuse
me, Biden administration has distributed nearlyfive million people throughout this country, very
few of whom have really been vettedin, very few, if any,

(33:40):
of whom will actually show up forany kind of court ordered appearance in the
three to five years ahead where they'rescheduled. Five million people. That is
more than the total populations of twentyeight of our states. And the gates

(34:01):
are still open, and they're openingwider every day down there under current policy.
And don't let them tell you anythingto the contrary, because it's simply
untrue, like most of what's comeout of there in a long time.
All right, well, let's lightenit up on the way out. Um,
oh this is I'll just give youa yeah, special kind of stupid

(34:22):
good decision or a little bit creepygood decision. Good decision. A bride
is her story has gone viral forher cost efficient decision to serve chilies food.
She's just having chilies cater her weddingninety nine guests, and chilies is
