Speaker 2 (00:52):
All right, welcome to Wednesday, and boy of mine, a
good mood since I just got the word word today
in two and will? Did you get it at all? Zero?
Do you want to know what it is?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You're just on six? Okay. I got it into, he
got it into in fairness, he got it into yesterday,
and I finally, because I get interrupted so much, I
just had to throw in the towel and get him
to tell me the word. And I'll do that for
him as well if he wants. But he's got his
opportunity to think for a while here, and probably we'll
come up with it. According to forecasters, this is just

(01:29):
going to be the latest in a growing line of warm,
humid days past and yet to come. Every fall, winter,
and spring, most of us who live in Southeast Texas
fall asleep almost every night dreaming that we might get
more days and nights when the air is dry and cool.
And every summer morning when we step outside to retrieve

(01:53):
the paper, some people still get that. Really we step
out for the paper or maybe to walk the dog,
and we realize there's no escaping the six months summer
we catch down here, and it does no good to
complain about the humidity, about the heat, because that is
just like that's like nectar to the sweltering moisture in

(02:14):
the air, and it keeps a humidity level higher, pretty
much higher than the IQs of many New Yorkers in Californians,
at least the ones who are still there, former New Yorkers,
former Californians. They get their eyes opened up once they
get out of there, and they realize that there is
more to this world than just taxes and communism. We

(02:36):
sweat here. Therefore, we are Southeast Texans, so more of
the same for four or five days too, followed by
you guessed it, more of the same four or several months.
It'll be at least at least October, I would say,
before we can get a really legitimate cool snap. Maybe

(03:00):
take the temperature the high for the day down to
about I don't know, eighty four eighty five. You can
kiss those things goodbye for a long time. And like
I said, I've lived here almost all my life, and
it's gonna be okay. It's just gonna be okay. By
the way, you can mark today on your calendar as
the first day this year that the National Hurricane Center

(03:22):
showed something to look at on its map of the
Gulf of America and the Atlantic Ocean. It's a nothing
basically at president at president that might become a something
zero percent chance in I think forty eight hours and
only a ten percent chance in the next seven days,
something like that, but it does deserve recognition. It is

(03:46):
a reminder that we are in storm season only by
ten days, but nonetheless in storm season. The stock market
also opened a little on the stormy side this morning,
with three of the four big indicators in the red.
Again there's typically been typically been some recovery throughout the
day over the past week or two when it started

(04:07):
off so ugly, and I haven't checked to see what
it was, and I missed. I was out grabbing some
paper off the printer when the Fox report went off,
so I'm not sure. I'll check during during the break
and see if it's worth talking about. Numbers still not
bad overall, but red is red so and especially if
it's gold, which shed one hundred and thirteen dollars an

(04:27):
ounce overnight and was sitting at not quite four one
and seventy four dollars announce about an hour and a
half ago. Oil kicked up a bit again thanks to
the continued cat and mouse game being played in the
Middle East. I have just about had it with Iron
violating ceasefires too, and US not going ahead and just
putting an end to that reckless regime. I saw a

(04:49):
story and I didn't get a chance to source it twice,
or not source it twice, but check it twice. About
a force of all those Middle Eastern nations accept hereon
getting together to patrol and safeguard the straight of hor moves,
and if they will go ahead and do that and

(05:13):
truly will enforce that. Who knows, maybe we can get
this oil price down again where it used to be,
where it should be. By the way, so into the news,
what have I got? Two minutes? Will about two and
a half? Okay, barely an hour and a half ago.
President Trump signed a seventy billion dollar reconciliation package that's

(05:35):
going to fund a border patrol and ice through twenty
twenty nine. Our freedom literally hinges on removing the worst
of the bad people in our country right now and
making sure others who wish to come here also are
willing to assimilate. I don't mind at all. I don't
have any problem with migration done right, done legally. I

(05:55):
need them to come in here and do what every
other lawful immigrant is done for pretty much the entirety
of this nation's history, and that has come in swear
an oath of allegiance to the United States of America
and abandon any other any other notion of supporting somebody else.

(06:18):
You become an American. You don't just get to come
here and take all our stuff, although the last administration
allowed millions of people to do that. Come in here,
take everything you want, and then we'll see how it
works out for you. We don't do that anymore. I
hope our freedom really does hinge on removing the worst
of these bad people and bringing in people who want

(06:40):
to be Americans. First, America's not a shelter and its
resources aren't unlimited. We take care of immigrants because we
are compassionate, but the majority of us are not suckers either.
First Up should be a promise to Americans, and it
ought to be in the oath of every person who

(07:01):
holds any elected office in the entire country. Every American
politician that Americans needs will come before those of unlawful immigrants.
And perhaps we ah, that's all we need, unlawful immigrants,
because once somebody's in that the other way, the good,
the right way, then okay, we'll take care of you.
But if the poorest Americans can't get it, illegal immigrants

(07:26):
shouldn't get it either. Thirty seconds will okay, that's cool.
I had a couple of little bitty things burning up
ten seconds trying to get the paper. This paper is
so dry. I don't know why it is. This will
get them well. The raptor sounds in Jurassic Park. The
sound effects were created from audio samples of tortoises. Let's

(07:48):
just say they were doing the tango. That's what the
Jurassic Park raptor sounds are. Now you'll never watch the
movie the same again. Gallery Furniture. You want to watch
a movie comfortably, just lay back into one of those
z Cliner sleep chairs from over at Gallery Furniture. It's
a bed, it's a recliner, it's a movie theater lounge chair,

(08:10):
it's a heated massage chair. Whatever you want it to
be for the ultimate soothing experience, whether you're trying to
recover from surgery, whether you just had a hard time
on the golf course and you need something to make
you feel better. This is high tech relaxation, it really is.
And every one of those chairs also has available a
powerlift option if you need that for whatever reason. Nobody's

(08:34):
gonna judge you on whether you need a powerlift option
to get in and out of a chair. They just
make it available to you, no judgment. Any Gallery Furniture location.
Z Cliner sleep chairs from Gallery Furniture. Check them out.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
What's life without a net? I suggest you go to bed,
sleep it off, Just wait until the show's over.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Sleepy Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues, Welcome
back fifty.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Plus, thanks for listening to certainly do appreciate it. In
case you haven't heard, and it's been all over the news,
at least in Texas, it has been. Carmelo Anthony found
guilty of murder yesterday and the death of Austin Metcalf
and sentenced to thirty five years in state prison. He'll
have to serve at least half that time prior to
becoming eligible for parole. If my reading was right, My

(09:21):
hope in the aftermath of this tragedy, and that's what
it is, is that Texans can move slowly and peacefully
past this and that, however many paid protesters show up,
all of them can be rounded up the moment they
crossed the peaceful protest line and start inciting or participating
in any sort of violence. I think in a lot

(09:45):
of cases in this country when paid protesters have showed up,
they've been allowed far more leeway than probably they should
have been given. And they're not there to support a cause.
They're there for a paycheck. They're there to jump up
and down on cars, to set things on fire, and

(10:05):
very subtly though they know the lines they can't cross.
Some of them do, though, or worse, some of them
encourage others there local people who are there to peacefully
protest it first, encourage them, get them riled up so
that they can take the ride to jail, and not
the protesters. After all, they've got another cause they have

(10:26):
to go support next week in some other state. Very frustrating.
It took the jury, by the way, only a few
hours to reach its verdict, which says something about the
evidence presented and about the defense's inability to really raise
any doubt as to what happened that day. As the
victim's father pointed out in a statement prior to sentencing,

(10:46):
I believe it was this was never about race. It
was about right and wrong, And it was it was
about right and wrong. And may come back to that
a little bit later. I have some more stuff I
want to talk about. I'll pause and do something to
lighten the mood. Will you got that audio handy you

(11:07):
want to want to run through the This is a
series of four jingles, and the headline on this little
piece of audio I found says, if you know all, oh,
there's only three. I thought there was a fourth that's okay.
It doesn't matter if you remember all three of these jingles.
And what we're gonna do is play the first line,

(11:29):
and then you're expected to know the second line. And
believe me, if you don't know these, thank you for
listening on behalf of your older parents or grandparents because
you're just too young. Will, did you know any of them? Okay,
so here's the first one. Surely everybody knows. Surely everybody

(11:54):
knows what this one is. It's folgers. Go ahead and
finish it off. Remember seeing that on black and white television? Will,
I'm almost one hundred percent positive that that that commercial
first aired on black and white TV, as did the
other two. I'm sure go ahead with number two. I

(12:14):
am stuck on band aid bank. You know that one
at all? You know you you wouldn't possibly know these
unless somehow, some way you created a time capsule and
gone back. It's because band aids stuck on me. I
go ahead, because band aids stuck on me. Yep, there

(12:37):
you go. And last, but not least, this is another
one that if you're if you're in my crew, if
you're in my generation, or even my wife, she's ten
years my junior, even she would know this one. I'm sure,
go ahead. My money is at first gape. You have
no idea what that is? Do you know what he

(12:59):
said there? It says my Bologney has a first name
still in grocery stores today, by the way, it's osca R.
Go ahead, and then it would continue if they had
it on there. My blooney has a second name, it's
m a yeer and then it goes on from there.

(13:24):
So I'll try to find something next time if I
can find quizzes like that audio quizzes of old jingles. Oh,
I know, I can find a bunch of them. Maybe
we'll play some more and try to find some generational stuff.
There are probably some that you know very well, but
that I would not know because I wouldn't be listening
to the same audio. I wouldn't be listening to the

(13:45):
or watching the same shows on TV. Do you even
watch much TV? You do? Okay? But you guys, you
and your fiance right still? Okay? Just making sure do
you binge watch things like specific shows or you just
scroll through the chainchannels? More scrolling? Oh you straight? Just
one episode after another? Oh you stream? Okay? Yeah, I

(14:08):
got it. Yeah, I'm still not there. I'm still using
what is it called the satellite stuff? Oh, direct TV,
That's what I'm using. And I get a bunch of channels.
But the one thing I have to have, or two
channels I have to have, are the Outdoors Network and
Space City Home Network. I have to have those two

(14:29):
to do my job, and I wish I could write
them off. It would be it would not be worth
the complications of writing them off to write them off,
but I just like to watch those two channels. And
there are a couple of other outdoor channels I get.
I get the golf the PGA Tour Network or the
Golf channel. PGA Tour Network is on satellite radio. I
also get that and listen on the way in on

(14:50):
Sunday mornings to figure out who's gonna win the big
tournament that week, and I rarely get it right. I
used to play a game on that show on my
Outdoor show on KB and me with listeners where we
would we would pick. It was kind of complicated because
you had to pick a winner on Saturday, and then

(15:11):
I wouldn't be able to tell you whether it well,
you would know if you won, but nobody else would know.
I guess they all could know after Sunday afternoon, but
it just became very difficult. So I found a book
called Decisions of the in the Rules of Golf. Decisions
to the Rules of Golf, maybe that was. It was
as thick as a phone book. You don't know what
that is either, do you. Well, you know what it is,

(15:33):
but you don't have one. Right, you have your phone,
which is every number on the planet if you just
go looking for it. So in any event, the Decisions
book from the USGA had all kinds of scenarios that
were legitimately that were legitimately required the help of a
rules professional in tournaments. And what I would do is

(15:57):
read the situation and then that's that's right. We were
able to do this, not the winner's thing, but doing
this rules thing. Then I would say, okay, what do
you think the ruling was? And my listeners for a prize,
usually a foursome of golf at a great golf course
somewhere in town, would have to figure out what the
rule was. And there are some of them are pretty straightforward,

(16:18):
but there are some really weird rule like if your
ball falls into a rabbit hole and the rabbit pushes
it back out, and a hawk comes down and grabs it,
thinking it's an egg, and just on and on and on.
I might have to bring that back. I'll try to
get another copy of that book if I can find
one somewhere. I got the jingles taken care of.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Did that?

Speaker 2 (16:41):
What do we have left here? Oh? That's perfect, that's perfect.
I'm going to go to the back of this big
pile of stuff I have here and go into something
that kind of disturbs me. It ties in a little
bit with some just all these random attacks that have
been going on around the country, especially in stations and
on trains up north. But click to Houston this morning

(17:05):
had several fresh stories of overnight shootings, and when the
smoke clears, it seems like nearly all of these types
of shooting started over almost meaningless petty arguments or maybe
drug deals or feuding gangs or whatever. I don't know
what inspires young men to shoot each other, but I

(17:25):
do hope somebody can convince them to stop doing it,
and I would. I really don't understand how we've gone
from a pretty civil, pretty safe nation where you could
walk around walk around downtown at night and not feel scared.
A lot of these people coming over for FIFA World

(17:47):
Cup matches. If they they go out walking in the evening,
they're depending on where they walk, of course, and how
many people are out and what time they're out, they're
gonna have to be careful. I've got a story I
was going to do about that in a little while.
Let's take a break showing on the way out. I
went to Midway meet Market on was it Monday afternoon?

(18:11):
And darned if I did not miss Trish again. Second
time I've missed her going out there just randomly. I'm
gonna start calling first. I kind of like to surprise
my clients, my endorsement clients, especially when I'm in the
neighborhood and I could just drop in and say, hey,
I was thinking about you. I was on the way
home from golf and popped in there, and the woman

(18:31):
who was sitting sitting close to the front there having
her lunch, I think she was I asked her. She said, no,
you just missed her a few minutes ago. But I
don't think she's going to be gone very long. And
I would have stayed, but I needed to get on
home anyway. It probably would have been better for me
to take a shower after playing golf in ninety three

(18:51):
ninety four degree weather, just humid and sticky and nasty.
Probably probably better to have done that than just broke
in there. And she's a hugger. She'll come over there
and give you a hug if you're not careful. What
you'll find in Midway meat Market by the Way is
a tremendous variety of meat products, grab and go snacks,

(19:11):
twenty five flavors of premium sausage, and a lunch counter
by the way lunch or dinner, depending on what time
you're there. They're open from ten am or excuse me,
eight am to seven pm, every single day of the week.
Get in there, place your meat order, go over to
the lunch counter, get yourself a barbecue lunch, or maybe
just a good old fashioned cheeseburger. They do a great cheeseburger.

(19:34):
I don't know what makes it so special. Maybe it's
just that I've been going out there for so many years.
I've got this little dash of nostalgia sprinkled over my
Hamburger cheeseburger. I don't know what it is, but I
keep going back there, and I keep enjoying it every
time I do. I'm out there as often as I
can be. You will be two once you realize number one,
how close it is the number two, what great meat

(19:56):
products they have. They're on iten. Take the well, then
on they're on Old ninety. Take I ten to the
first kt egsit just passed ninety nine. That will throw
you onto Old ninety and parallel you on Ien going westward. Still,
the second light in town is a strip shopping center.
And at the end of that stripping shop shopping spit

(20:18):
it out Doug Strip shopping Center on the west end
of it. That's where you're gonna find Midway meat Market,
and you may or may not find Trish if you do.
Tell her I said hello, please. Midway Meatmarket dot com
is the website Midwaymeetmarket dot com.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yah.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
They sure don't make them like they used to.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
That's why every few months we wash him, check his fluids,
and spring on a fresh coat of wax. This is
fifty plus with Doug Pike fifty plus.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Thanks for listening to certain do appreciate it. I found
a piece of well on a piece of paper. It
was an attachment to one of the to an email
I got. I think that's where it came from. And
going back in the history of tech. As you know
most of you know, I host an outdoor show over
on KBMME on weekends, Saturday and Sunday mornings. And this

(21:09):
is something called Traces of Texas and it's a post
that was put up about a guy named Bus or
not Bus. Gus pang Rocas. Gus Pangarokas was well known
in his day, and which was many many days ago,
many many years ago. And there's a photograph here of

(21:31):
him standing next to a fish that was caught. I'm
not so sure by whom, but Gus is in the
picture and he's sharpening up his knife because he's going
to be dressing this fish. This was caught at the
North Galveston Jetty, fishing from a place called Betison's Pier,

(21:52):
which no longer exists. I'm one hundred percent sure won
too many hurricanes take out any peer. It took out
the sand Luis Pass peer one. Too many hurricanes took
out the surfside pier. We're getting a new pier built
where the rollover pass used to be. But that's I'm
digressing here. The reason I bring up this photograph of Gus,

(22:15):
who was a tremendous fisherman in his own right, also
was well, he's just a legend in this place. And
what he's doing. Stand there with a five hundred and
fifty one pound goliath grouper that he caught while fishing
from that pier, that pier at the North Jetty. Five

(22:41):
hundred and fifty one pounds. Those fish are capable of
living and surviving in not way offshore. In fact, in
Florida they catch them in the canal system around Marinas
and whatnot. That's that fish stood as the state record,

(23:02):
by the way for quite some time until it was
surpassed in nineteen sixty one. Nineteen sixty one by a
six hundred and eighty pounder. That guy had caught more
big fish than a lot of us could ever dream of.
He caught a lot of really really good fish off
the piers and jetties too, including a tiger shark that
weighed more than a thousand pounds and a sawfish. I've

(23:26):
never even seen a sawfish in the wild, and there
aren't many left. I'm hoping there are more than there
were twenty years ago, and I think that may be
the case, but I've never seen one. The one he
caught was fourteen and a half feet long and weighed
seven hundred and thirty six pounds. Thus went into the
Army of World War II. Later became a firefighter in Houston,

(23:49):
and then sometime in the late forties, he went bayfishing
on a boat with a friend of his and that
boat capsized. And the reason I'm telling you the story
is because it doesn't have a super happy ending. I'm
not sure if that friend of his lost his life
when that boat capsized. There's not much detail on all
of that. But for whatever reason, Gus Pangeracus never fished again,

(24:16):
never fished again. That makes me sad, as it did
the person who wrote this story. Gus died in nineteen
eighty after that boat wreck. He never fished again, and
we'll never know why. I guess. I'm sure somebody knows why,
but I don't interesting I thought will. Have you ever
heard of backwards beach day? Let me just tell you

(24:38):
all about it. It's where you skip the crowds in
the hot sun at the beach during the day in
favor of a sunset beach time instead, which to you
and me, maybe you take your significant other down there.
That sounds kind of fun. But then they had to
ruin it with this line that makes absolutely no sense

(24:59):
at all about backwards beach day and going down for
the sunset, and I quote it's great for kids right
after their naps. What kid naps just before sunset? Wouldn't
that be a little late for a nap? Will? And
here you and I are a total of one child

(25:20):
between us, But nonetheless I thought kids napped in them.
I've got I sit right next to, right across from,
and beside two young people in our office, both of
whom have children younger than three years old. So maybe
I'll check with them and see what's up with the
nap times. But my son didn't nap right before dinner

(25:43):
or right before sunset. That makes no sense. So they
had to go and ruin what seemed like a pretty
good idea at first, pretty good idea right now, to
go ahead and take this last break of the program.
On the way out, I'll tee up New Promise Neuropathy.
That's where patients in two places now around Houston, one
in Spring one in Missouri City. I think that it's
either open or about to open, like eminently. I may

(26:05):
drive down there this afternoon and take a peek around.
In any event, neuropathy, if you have it, you know
it hurts it. Maybe it might be tingling for you.
It might be numbness, burning in your extremities, just constant pain.
Sometimes you can't walk very far without having to stop.
That's not gonna be the problem anymore. If you let

(26:26):
New Promise Neuropathy help you out, what they'll do is
assign a team to you, and they will discover the
cause of your burning or pain or numbness or tingling,
and then they'll chart a course to relieve it. Dance
with the person you married again without hurting, take the

(26:46):
grandkids to the zoo again without hurting. A New Promise
neuropathy that just just walk the garbage cans down to
the curb and walk back to the house. Some people
can't even do that. It hurts so bad. But it
won't if you let New Promise Neuropathy take care of
that for you, get your life back. That's what they're
doing over there. Every day. They're giving people their lives back.

(27:09):

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Aged to perfection. This is fifty plus with Dougpike.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
And welcome to the fourth and final segment of the program.
Thank you all for listening today. On what's gonna be?
Like I said earlier, it's just gonna be one of
many days where it's gonna be ninety something in the
daytime and very soon eighty something overnight. When it's not

(27:42):
one hundred and something in the daytime and close to
ninety at night. That'll come a little later. I was
looking a couple of months ago. I asked my outdoors
audience to guess what day on which the official Houston top,
the the official Houston high for the day would first

(28:04):
be one hundred degrees or higher. Well, you got any
ideas you think it'll be in July maybe or August.
What do you think first? One hundred degree real day,
official Houston weather. I think that's inter Continental Airport July
one day, the tenth. Okay, we need to write that

(28:25):
down somewhere. I think we will get one hundred gosh,
July ten, that's a little deep into the season. That's
a month from today, basically almost. I think we might
get it just a hair before that. We might get
it for fourth of July. Even now. I had some
other people send in guesses that were a little bit

(28:50):
later than that. Even one guy even went into August
before we would hit one hundred. But I don't think
that's going to happen. He'll get here, though, you could
count on that. Oh, if you're new here and you've
never been in a hundred degree heat with ninety five
percent humidity, Oh, you're in for a treat. You are
in for such a tree. I'm joking. Of course, I

(29:13):
don't like one hundred degree weather, and I yes, I
have been to many places where it's a dry heat
and it's still hot as blazes. You just don't realize
how quickly you're frying and how quickly you're dehydrating. When
you can't see the water pouring out of your pores,
on your arms and your legs, and you can't feel

(29:34):
it dripping down your face or down the back of
your neck, or down the back of your shorts. If
you're outside playing golf or something like that, it's a
physical amount of water. You can feel the water dripping
down your body and headed for the ground. Your socks
get wet. That's real hot weather with high humidity. Moving

(29:57):
now into the cesspool we call primary politics up there.
In May, Graham Platner won that state's Democrat nomination for
the US Senate. He conceded in a statement that he'd
made some mistakes in his life, which is anyone who
has access to newspeaks has known that for quite some
time now. That's Captain obvious stuff. But what concerns me

(30:18):
more than his past is his future vision for America,
which is frighteningly progressive, and almost certainly, if the Left
regains majority in Congress, will turn our nation into a
bunch of standalone cities and even some rogue states where
federal law is just ignored and you either get governed
by socialism or sharial law, neither of which, by the way,

(30:39):
have any any place in the Land of the Free.
And lest anyone forget the home of the brave, may
take all brave Americans to first begin saying what they
feel out loud to get some momentum. Some people will,
some people won't get used to that, though, get used
to speaking up and say what you think, what you

(31:01):
truly think, before the Left tries to outlaw free speech,
which that's that if they get control you mark my words,
they're gonna go the way of Europe and have hate
speech legislation where if you if you say something or
if you post something on social media that goes against
the grain of all inclusion, you're going to jail. That's

(31:24):
not what this country was founded on. It's not what
it should be for. And by all means, keep voting, okay,
just keep voting for common sense and we'll see how
it turns out. By the way, the Dems in California,
who wanted more time for Lameric Karen Bass to destroy
that city may have wound up in a bit of
a pickle after nittschia Raman, also a Democrat, wound up

(31:46):
beating out Spencer Pratt, the Loan Republican, for the second
spot on November's ballot. Amazing how many ballots showed up too,
By the way, how many votes were counted late late,
late into the cycle. I'm not saying they did anything wrong,
but it's interesting when, yeah, until the right person wins,

(32:09):
they keep finding votes to count out there. Bass likely
could have stayed home and beaten Pratt this fall in
the mostly blue city of Los Angeles, but her chances
now against another Democrat aren't nearly so good. You got
to remember, almost two thirds of that city voted against
Karen Bass and Raman, who got a very close percentage

(32:34):
of the vote. I can't remember the exact numbers. Now
to Karen Bass, Rama's now, she's gonna pick up a
lot of votes from people who wanted to vote. They
wanted to vote for Pratt, and they did. But now
they're going to get a chance just to get Karen
Bass out. And that, I think is what most people

(32:58):
in that city, whoever few who are left anyway, I
think if and by the way, if California had been
any less left leaning than it is and more Conservatives
had stayed in that city rather than bail out when
it started getting bad, Pratt might have had a whole
lot better chance. But the people he needed to vote

(33:20):
for him, most of them are already gone. They're already gone. Now.
So now Karen Bass is going to be going up
against another Democrat, and I'm telling you her chances aren't
that good. Aren't that good? Bass Is days in office
may be numbered? How am I doing well? Two two
and a half? Okay too? In a US military first,

(33:41):
By the way, I found this very cool we're we're
just so blessed to be in this country of ours
and have the military that we have. If you'll recall
after if you watch the news, in the last three days,
I Ronnie and Force has shot down one of our
Apache helicopters out in I think it was off the
co of Oman. After it went down, the pilot and

(34:05):
co pilot of that helicopter were able to get out.
But they're in the water now, and what are they
going to do. Well, they're going to wait for a ride.
It's like calling an uber in wartime conditions. What was
set to retrieve them and recover them. It's not even
just an uber, it's an oh, it's a driverless uber.

(34:27):
This is what they call an ASV, an autonomous surface
vehicle deployed to rescue the two man crew off the
coast of Oman. And that's what they did. They're they're
guided indirectly, they're guided remotely. And it's a very fast
boat that would probably beat up people who are trying

(34:47):
to ride in it and choppy water. There's a picture
of one that I saw today and they're just like
a good offshore fishing boat, not a big offshore fishing boat,
but a fast offshore fishing boat sent it out there,
picked up the pilots, brought them back and they are
safe and sound. Thank goodness. All right, will I've got
one minute left. I will tell you first about I

(35:10):
don't know what happened to manners in this country, honestly.
People are debating online an incident where the mother of
a seven year old girl confronted a man at a
grocery store who called the kid rude after that kid
flipped him off for moving slowly. Too slowly for the
seven year old, I guess, or maybe for her mom.

(35:31):
There's two people wrong in here, and the old man's
not one of them. The kid for flipping off any adult,
and the mother of that seven year old child, who
didn't teach that little girl any man or shame on her.
I'll be back tomorrow. Thanks for listening, Audios
