Pre-Labor Day

Today, Doug Pike discusses Labor Day, bodyslams, and hurricanes.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Remember when it was impossible to misplace the TV remote
because you were the TV remote. Remember when music sounded
like this, Remember when social media was truly social?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey John, how's it going today? Well, this show is
all about you, the good die. This is fifty plus.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
With Doug Pike, helpful information on your finances, good health,
and what to do for fun. Fifty plus brought to
you by the UT Health Houston Institute on Aging Informed
Decisions for a healthier, happier life.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And now fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Alrighty, then fifty plus starts right now. I'm Doug, He's Will,
and we will be here until one o'clock PM. Unlike
most everybody in our office, who well, the two or
three people who showed up this morning besides Will and me.
The production people are here, They're always here. The people

(01:07):
who work the boards, the people who sit behind the microphones,
we're here every day pretty much. The people on the
other side of the room, with the exception of I
think I've seen five people out there. Will. That's it,
all day long, all morning long, five other people and us.

(01:29):
Welcome back your dreams, where your ticket out. Welcome back
to that same old place. That you laughed about. Does
that ring a bell for you? Will er? Is it
a little bit before your time? Do you recognize those words?
Not at all? From Welcome Back Cotter? That was the
theme song of the audience. This audience would recognize it.

(01:50):
I'm sure might be going a little bit too far
back for you, and that's only fair. Welcome Back Cotter
a good but not great sitcom from decades ago, and
if you had a higher opinion of it than that,
more power to you. I would watch it every now
and then. But it wasn't one of my favorites. I
thought it was a little corny, a little too corny, actually,

(02:13):
I think they pushed the corn window or a little
too far open. I got to go and lined up
for you today, I hope anyway, including some new stuff
and some stories that warrant attention but didn't make it
before now, mostly because of time restraints. The official Labor
Day fifty plus forecast calls for more of the same

(02:36):
and maybe a little more than more of the same,
meaning pop up showers in the forecast for the next
three days, and then of course it will clear up
for the next four or five after that. The good
news is that we are anticipating highs for all of
those days the next four or five days, at least

(02:58):
in the very low nineties. And if we get really lucky,
we might even get a high for one of those
days in the high eighties. But I'm guessing it's gonna
be more like ninety ninety one ninety two, which is
still quite warm, and especially when you tack on the
humidity that comes with these pop up afternoon showers. Gosh,

(03:19):
I played golf Wednesday with some guys. I mentioned that yesterday,
and it was a hot mess. It wasn't a hot mess,
it was a warm mess, but the humidity just it
felt like we were drowning. I've talked about that all
summer long. We've had this issue come up, but more
recently than earlier in the summer. We're in that we're

(03:40):
in that late summer pattern, which is good because it
means we're getting closer to fall. And just as just
as every dove hunter in the state expected, at least
in Southeast Texas, here comes the wet ground for the opener.
Here comes the wet ground for the open. It's just

(04:01):
you can count on that every year. Drives me crazy.
You get in there and start putting your stuff out
to go on your opening week or opening weekend hunt,
whichever whatever day September one hits each year, and dog gone.
If it doesn't, you just have to go back and
change up what you're going to take out there. What

(04:22):
I'm looking for is a very lightweight garment that still
sheds rain, but doesn't trap the moisture that's already inside
because it's ninety five degrees outside and you're sweating like
a pig. Sometime I'll find some day, I'll find one
of those, and when I do, i'll let you all
know about it. In fact, I've got somebody i'm kind

(04:43):
of working with on some things along those lines, and
if I'm successful in my search, I will absolutely let
those of you who love the outdoors but don't like
to be rained on, I'll let all of you know
it's I'll stop there for a minute. Most well, the

(05:03):
big four that I look at were red, but just
by a smidge. Nothing serious going on, and I don't
anticipate anything up until the close today and then that
long pause till they reopen on Tuesday, not on Monday,
official Labor Day. Monday. Oil and Gold both were up

(05:24):
actually by a little bit more than a smidge. Gold
gold jumped up. I want to say about forty bucks.
Last time I looked, and currently was trading north of
thirty five hundred dollars an ounce. Thirty five hundred dollars
an ounce. That's that's a significant investment. Long term, I

(05:45):
think I would not have a problem, and I may
talk to my guy about it, about dropping a little
bit of money into gold. And I feel like now
it's it's just it's run way way, way way up high,
and I'm not sure or I want to jump on
while I feel like it's super high. But then again,

(06:06):
I don't want to wait around and look in two
years from now and see it at four thousand dollars
and wish I'd jumped on at thirty five hundred. Anyway,
I want to know, you know, I'm gonna wait till
the second. Yeah, I'll wait till good gosh, this guy
knows I'm doing a radio show. Come on, man, Tommy. No,

(06:27):
that's my buddy, Tommy O'Brian out at Blackhawk Country Club.
One of the best instructors I know. But I think
he doesn't remember. Sometimes he gets all excited about things
and I'm sure that's something he wants to talk to
me about, something exciting in the world of golf. But
then he, like me, sometimes forgets that I do this show. Well,
I don't forget. I do it every now and then

(06:48):
I'll just get distracted and Will will have to come
out and just kind of give me that look like, hey, buddy,
you got about a forty eight seconds before you gotta
be on the air. That's panic time. But I make
it use I will. I'll go to something soft a
Labor Day. In honor of Labor Day, a survey on

(07:10):
jobs discovered that seven of ten people are working harder
this year than last year. I think that number is low.
I think if somebody told me it was seventy percent
of people are working harder this year than last year,
I would say it's probably closer to eighty percent. I
don't know anybody who's working less and making the same

(07:32):
amount of money they made last year. I just that's
a tough thing to do these days. Now, there are
a lot of artificial intelligence ways you can do it,
and I get, boy, I get loaded up with these people.
I don't know what algorithm I tripped, but man, I'm
getting hammered with ways to make millions in an hour
and a half. If you'll just follow this person's lead,

(07:54):
you can follow my lead to Champions Tree Preservation. We're
going to take a break here. Remember all that damage
from Barrel, Remember Ike, Remember Harvey, Remember Al's all these
storms we get, all these hurricanes we get knock trees over.
They don't knock over healthy trees. They knock over sick trees.
And that's why you need Champions Tree Preservation to come

(08:16):
out and make sure your trees can withstand a hurricane
force blow for a day or two. Hurricanes are nothing
to sneeze at. They will knock a tree down if
it's not really strong and really healthy. Champions Tree Preservation
sends an arboriust to your house to make sure all
of your trees meet that standard. If they don't, they

(08:36):
need some feeding. Champions Tree will send a crew to
do that. Need pruning crews for that need entire removal
of a tree, or maybe some big limbs lopped off.
They have all the equipment they need to send out
a crew and do that as well. And they own
a tree farm so they can replace that tree they
take out with a native Texas tree won't missilecule. It'll

(08:58):
take a while for it to cat It's the big,
same big shady shadow that the old tree cast. But
it'll do it. And they'll keep those trees healthy for
you the rest of your lives. As long as you
keep them coming. Those trees of years are going to
be strong and healthy and can withstand just about anything
nature throws at it. Two eight one three two zero

Speaker 2 (09:29):
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike. Bye, welcome back.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
To fifty plus. Thanks for listening, certainly to appreciate it.
I I'm gonna lead off in the in the serious
business stuff with another look at what's happened kind of
in the wake of that horrific shooting this week during
a mass for children up at a Catholic school in Minnesota.
The any gun people jumped on this like they always do,
blaming the inanimate object in the room for the way

(09:54):
a mentally ill person used it. Anybody who believes it
gun violence can be stopped by stricter gun laws. Needs
to look no farther than most of the major cities
in this country, and especially specifically it's Chicago. You can
go look at Chicago and see super strict gun laws
in that city, super strict, almost impossible to carry a

(10:16):
gun legally, impossible to even find one you could buy
illegally in there and then still manage to get the
paperwork you have to. You've got to be somebody who
has to be in really bad places to get that
kind of lawful carry in that city. But Chicago perennially
has one of the highest murder rates, mostly by firearms,

(10:38):
in the country, so you really can't look at that
and blame the gun. The common theme in half a
dozen or more recent mass shootings actually has been that
they were committed by trans people. Now, that is in
no way, shape or form any kind of a condemnation
on my part of that group of people. They're just people.
They believe what they believe, and Okay, I don't have

(11:02):
a problem. This is a free country. Do what you
want to do. But we need to This is simply
an observation that warrants a closer look to find out
what's motivating the specific people who've done what they did.
Most of them leave manifestos or journals or both, or
some other written record of their lives leading up to

(11:23):
what they did, and those documents can be very revealing,
they really are and can be. And there are just
scores of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals pouring over
all the pages from this latest shooting. Chicago's issues are different,
I can't. You can't equate the two except for the

(11:45):
fact that there are guns involved in both. The homicides
in Chicago are committed mostly by young black men against
young black men, and that's another issue. That's another issue altogether.
But like mass shootings, it won't be remedied by enacting
more gun laws, same as obesity won't be eliminated by
making laws against potato chips and ice cream. Healthy diet

(12:08):
will help that. It's same as blaming cars for fatal
wrecks caused by drunks. You don't take away the car,
you fix the person who's committing the primes. Somehow, these
are not object problems. They're people problems. And for any
of these things to happen, a person has to make
a poor decision, and then they have to act on it.

(12:31):
By the way, law enforcement in Chicago takes hundreds, if
not thousands of illegal guns off that city streets every year.
I don't know the actual number, and it really doesn't matter,
because there's a pipeline of hot guns ready to replace
everyone that's confiscated, and just bad people enabling other bad
people to do horribly bad things. If that's not redundant,

(12:55):
Quit blaming the gun. There's no story. It came out
probably thirty forty years ago. First time I saw it
about a guy who who was trying to make a
point and set an old shotgun on his back porch
one day, left it there for six months, and in
the entire time it was on his back porch, it
didn't shoot anybody. It didn't shoot anything. It just sat there.

(13:17):
It just sat there like a hammer, like a knife,
like any other tool that has a purpose for good
and then can be used also for evil. And that's
the issue. I did see one thing that I wanted
to bring up. ABC reporter up in New York City,
a man named Aaron Katurski came under scrutiny for leaving

(13:41):
out a pretty important part of a story he did
on the Minnesota shooter in that report, which included a
lot of information on the weapons, the shooter, what was used,
and some of what that person had written, including the
names of other mass shooters. There were racial slurs in
there and other very disturbing things, as you might suspect

(14:03):
of someone who who found no better way out than this,
But it also included the name of President Trump, and
Katersky put that in the story. What he didn't say
in the report, though, was that the shooter expressed great
disdain for our president and had even written killed Trump

(14:27):
and similar hateful words on some of the weapons that
were recovereds Reporters who deliberately eliminate something that important from
a story aren't reporting anymore. They're just telling you what
they think, and worse, in a way, manipulating the information
so as to potentially sway the way you think, to

(14:50):
sway the interpretation of that story from its full and
factual accounting. That's not reporting, that's vocalizing an agenda, and
that it just it continues to bother me no matter
who does it. I've been in this world, in the
reporting world, in the journalism world, for a very long

(15:11):
time now. Granted I haven't written a ton of news stories,
except when when it was necessary. At the paper, when
I was there for twenty five years, writing about a
lot of fun stuff, but sometimes we had to do
news stories for whatever reasons. Some about the outdoors, some
about sports, some about general news. We were there as

(15:33):
writers and that was first, that was first obligation. And
when we wrote a news story, when the editor of
that story, and all those stories were edited, when the
editor that story got to the end, if he or
she could tell where we stood on that issue, we'd

(15:53):
get it thrown back at us. Hey, this is not
this is not journalism, This is just your opinion. And
every now and then we'd have to rewrite something and
certainly include both sides of the store. And unfortunately that's
just not happening near as much, not happening near as
much these days as it should. That ought to be

(16:14):
the common theme in every story that's presented by everyone
who purports himself to be him or herself to be
a journalist, and it's just not happening. I will get
to d c some interesting interesting concessions made by the
mayor Muriel Bowser up there. I'll get to that. I'll

(16:38):
get to something from a man named Mark Penn if
you haven't heard it or read it yet, and we'll
do all that when we get back. Before we go, though,
I found a poll. I found it very interesting. Yesterday
was the twentieth anniversary, Well, no, not yesterday, it was
sometime sometime in the week I can't remember exactly which day,

(16:58):
aniversary of Hurricane Katry, and a poll asked Americans what
the scariest natural disasters are, and hurricanes did not make
the top three. To follow the lead of Incomplete journalism,
the story only gave the top one, didn't say what

(17:22):
the top three were, but we know it wasn't hurricane.
Tornadoes topped the list. I can see that they pop
up out of nowhere. They give you very little time,
and that's scary enough. I'm guessing that after tornado would
come earthquake, and then who knows, tsunami, locust swarm, hail storm.

(17:47):
I don't know. I don't know what made third and
pushed hurricane out of that position, but hurricanes should have
been higher up on the list. I got a hunch
that they didn't ask anybody who's been through a major
hurricane to list the scariest natural disasters. They could think
of because hurricanes should have been there. Will in your

(18:09):
top three thumbs up thumbs down? Would hurricane be there?
Major hurricane? It said, let's know, well, I know that
all I need is a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
Her ambiguity is overwhelming. All right, We'll take this break,

(18:30):
and when we get back, I'm gonna do a little
softer stuff again. Then I've got a couple of things
that can it'll make you think a little bit more
than that. UT Health Institute on Aging is that collaborative
of more than a thousand providers from every medical discipline,
all of whom have have gone back and become additionally
trained so that they can apply that knowledge to seniors specifically.

(18:55):
We're different. We're different than young people. We used to
be young people. Well, we know how different we are.
They don't know it yet. They don't think they'll ever
be in our positions, but they will if they're lucky,
and especially because UT Health Institute on Aging is going
to be around still when they get older, and they'll
have all that access to all those great providers all

(19:17):
over town, a lot of them in the med center,
some of them come out to outlying areas. Every week,
you'll find a way. If you need one of them,
you'll find a way to go see them. Uth dot
edu slash aging. That's the website. Go check out all
the resources they have there, and then if you need one,
find yourself a provider who is part of that group.

(19:39):
Uth dot edu slash aging ut h dot edu slash aging.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Now they sure don't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we wash them. Check his
fluids and spring on a fresh code O wax. This
is fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, welcome back,
close his eyes and fell asleep a parent. I could
do that later this afternoon. I'm I'm still coffeed up
from this morning. I've got a little time left in

(20:07):
me and I might even have to go catch a
fish this.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Afternoon, might even have to hit a golf ball. Got
some news, some good news actually, from a friend of
mine who's in the golf business. I am. I am
embargoed from revealing my secret at this point, but as
soon as it's okay to talk about it, we're gonna
talk about it. Nobody more deserving. Today is National lemon

(20:31):
Juice Day. And don't call me and ask me who
it is. Don't text me and say who was it?
What happened, as I can't tell you. I gave him
a word, and I would get him in trouble and
get me in trouble if I didn't keep it. I
don't work like that National Lemon Juice Day. Did you
know that lemon slice is placed near your bed, doesn't

(20:53):
say how many, doesn't say how close, can remove toxins
from the air and help you sleep, Probably said some
lemon farmer on TikTok. I don't know what the source
was for that information, but I think it would just
it would make for a nice, pleasant, citrusy smell. Or
you can, in lieu of that, In lieu of cutting

(21:16):
up a limon and putting it on a little saucer
next to your bed, on your bedside table or whatever,
maybe you could just polish your furniture or or clean
the bathroom, or clean the sink, or clean pretty much
anything in your house, because everything we use to clean
anything comes in a citrus flavor. Although I don't think

(21:38):
that's the same. I don't think it's quite the same.
Um back to the Labor Day theme for just a
second survey on jobs seven out of ten people we talked, well,
we talked about that part of it. Here's the other
part that I find very fascinating. Two out of five
people think that artificial intelligence is going to take their job,

(22:00):
not if they work in the trades. I don't think
plumbers or electricians or carpenters. Well, wood could be fashioned,
that's already being done, but plumbers and electricians probably going
to be around a while. I don't want to talk

(22:21):
about that. I'm scratching that out. It's useless and unnecessary news,
and it would be a blatant plug for a fast
food establishment. And I don't like to do those unless
there's something really, really crazy. Florida mother says she plans
to press charges after her kid was body slam by
a teacher while playing musical chairs. So the big question,

(22:46):
what the kid do? I wholeheartedly agree that whatever that
child did, it didn't warrant a body slam. I think
that's any kid playing musical chairs, probably young enough that
they didn't do anything that bad. But I would kind
of like to see the video of what led up

(23:07):
to that moment. You just never knew, You never know,
never know. Speaking of schoolrooms and classrooms, South Korea has
banned phones in classrooms across its entire country. If we
ever had the guts to do that, I believe, I
firmly believe, you would see children playing together more. They

(23:31):
would be having conversations more without using their thumbs to
write things. They would have better test scores, they would
be better equipped to concentrate in the classroom because right
now all they're doing is just wondering what that little
vibration on the desk is every time they hear it.

(23:56):
I had a little scared last night somehow, some way,
I guess it was going into the hall weekend. I
had a period of almost two hours, almost two hours
where I didn't get a single text or email, and
it really had me concerned that there was something wrong
with my phone. Turned out everybody was just chilling, which

(24:18):
I'm kind of glad of. I. You know, if i'd
have known that was coming out of planned to do
something really exciting or really, I don't know, I would
have planned something. But I just had to sit there
and just just wring my hands. What's wrong with my phone?
I have no emails, no text messages. Two hours now.

(24:38):
It was kind of around the Astros game time a
little bit later in the afternoon. There's a TikTok trend.
This is so young people. He it's apparently catching on
too among gen z, the idea of that adding ice,
adding ice to beer is the most refreshing way to
drink it. I know a guy I'm gonna have to

(24:59):
ask you when he gets back. He is actually he
is British and he is in England now, just outside London,
and on his way back I think tonight or tomorrow,
And when he gets back, I'm just gonna ask him
what he thinks about putting ice in beer, And my
gut says he's not gonna be in favor. If you

(25:24):
thought that you and your spouse had been married for
a long time, know that there is a couple over
in Great Britain speaking of I guess who just renewed
their vowels after celebrating their seventy second anniversary. There are
a whole lot of people in this world who won't

(25:48):
even make a seventy second birthday, let alone anniversary. Good
for them. Good for them. By the way, if you're
if you're wondering what might be the most useless job
that people are paid for. The top answers included influencer,

(26:09):
with which I could not agree more. By the way,
I don't know how we've become a nation that rewards
people for telling you information that really isn't that important
to your life. And we so trust these people that
we go out and spend our hard earned money on

(26:31):
whatever they tell us to do, only to find out
that maybe it wasn't so good at all. They useless
and get paid politicians, you know their salary. It's not
the salary that's disturbing about politicians so much as the
side hustles they have. People go into the federal government

(26:56):
worth about a half a million dollars, maybe a quarter
million dollars, maybe not much at all, and six eight
years later they're worth nine ten twelve million dollars on
one hundred and seventy five one hundred and eighty dollars
thousand dollars salary. Hm hm, all right, let's take a
break on the way out. If you are a guy,

(27:17):
and if you are experiencing symptoms of a non cancerous
enlarged prostate, then you need to get over to a
late health and let them take care of that by
cutting off the blood supply to that pesky little thing,
making it go away and take its symptoms with it.
When that prostate shrinks up, everything that it was doing

(27:38):
to you that you don't like goes away, same as
a prostate get you back in the saddle, back up
to doing what you were doing before that thing started
to grow and started to cramp you to all kinds
of problems. They can do the same type of procedure
to alleviate issues with fibroids and women, same type of

(27:59):
procedure that can eliminate some head pains, and certainly the
easiest one to see work is the little tiny capillarreas
that cause those ugly, ugly veins on your legs and
sometimes on your arms wherever you get them. They can
take those away at the Late Health along with many
many other things that they do there as well. It's

(28:20):
worth a look at the website to see all the
different procedures they perform right there in the office. You
don't have to go anywhere. Doctor Andrew Doe is going
to be looking over everybody's shoulder to make sure that
they're doing the right thing until it's time for him
to come in and really do the heavy lifting to
make sure that you get out of pain, you get
out of discomfort of any kind that can be alleviated

(28:43):
with a vascular procedure. They also do regenerative medicine too,
which is great for chronic pain. As most of you
well know, a couple of hours in the office, you
go home and recuperate there instead of in a hospital
bed somewhere where you might take home more than you
came in with. Seven one three, five, eight, eight, thirty
eight eighty eight. Seven one, three, five eight, eight thirty

(29:06):
eight eighty eight.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
What's life without a NET? I suggest you go to bed,
sleep it off, Just wait until the show's over. Sleepy.
Back to Doug Pike, as fifty plus continues.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
All right, welcome back, Thank you for listening. I certainly
do appreciate it from the what do you know, desk Washington,
d C. Mayor Muriel Browser, who initially wanted nothing to
do with President Trump bringing in the cavalry to fight fine,
fight crime, I said, correctly in the nation's capital. Well
she's done about phase and said this week, and I quote,

(29:41):
we greatly appreciate the service of offers or the service
of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to
do in this city. Service is the word I was
trying to spit out. I don't know why I said that,
throwing end quote there at to this city. Throwing out

(30:01):
a statistic on carjackings, for example, in DC, those crimes
during the past twenty days of federal help relative to
the current or the previous year, down eighty seven percent.
And Bowser also said, and I'll quote here and get

(30:23):
it right, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer end quote, Yeah,
I bet they are, because you got people out there
grabbing the bad guys. I saw some little fourteen year old.
It was a video of a fourteen year old being
caught in the act doing something I don't know what,
and he was just laughing and laughing, laughing. Now, y'all
can't hold me. I'm just a kid. And they said,

(30:45):
how old are you? Fourteen? And oh, that's too you know,
you can't mess with me. And they messed with him
and put him right in the back of the car
and drove him right off. And I'm sure that the
treatment he's gonna get after that encounter with law enforcement
it will be a lot different than the ones he's
had before. And I'm sure he's had plenty. Moving over
to a follow up from yesterday's account of the California rule,

(31:10):
a school rule requiring girls and young women to fill
out a mental health issue report if they don't want
to share bathrooms and locker rooms with boys. I've been
doing a bit of reading and I still haven't determined
quite yet if that concession is required in all school districts.
But I did see a story that directly links at

(31:32):
least one district to that, where if you're a girl
and you don't want to get dressed and look at
boys private parts while the boys looking at your private parts,
you the victim in this, have to sign off on
having some sort of mental health problem that's messed up,
and that would follow them wherever they go, most likely

(31:58):
for the rest of their lives. Oh yeah, I remember
back when you were in you were in college, and
you filled out a form. We don't care what it
was about, but the main thing we care about is
you filled out a form and said you've got a
mental health problem. Well, no, that's not actually what was
going Well that's what it's said. No, that's that's so
wrong on so many levels, so wrong on so many levels.

(32:20):
Speaking of bathrooms. There's a new related law in that state.
That is law that declared that all single use bathrooms
in businesses have to be designated as all gender. No
more men's rooms where men go in and make horrible
messes and never clean them up. Not little State's doing

(32:41):
all it can to run people out of there. I
just don't understand how how people can stand it anymore.
I really don't. Uh From a Fox News piece opinion
piece by a guy named Mark Penn to sum it up,
he sees President Trump uniting Europe while the mainstream media
claims it's falling apart. The headlines behind the media that
our president had recently with heads of state from all

(33:02):
over Europe, even with Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting up
there in Alaska, almost every head or headline was negative,
pretty much saying that he'd achieved nothing, lost everything, when
in fact the exact same meetings had they been hosted
by former President Obama, you know that would have triggered
a fawning over him, over his shrewd and brilliant strategies,

(33:28):
the likes of which you had never seen before. They
just can't stand him. They simply don't like President Trump,
and they absolutely hate it when he comes through on
promises he's made. They can't stand that quick story out
of the Woodlands back in the bathroom, a forty one
year old guy from Magnolia has been charged with installing

(33:49):
not one, but two cameras inside women's restrooms in the
Memorial Hermann facility in the Woodlands Medical Center. They're gone now,
and I'm sure there's been a clean sweep of every
office bathroom up there, and probably rightfully so. I don't
know what that guy's problem was. One of the victims
recognized the guy when she saw the story on TV

(34:11):
and recalled him sitting in that waiting room just looking
like he's waiting for everybody else, But he was just
sitting outside the waiting or outside the restroom, staring at
his phone. That's pretty dog on disgusting. That is pretty
dog on disgusting. Useless world records, Yeah, I've I've made

(34:32):
fun of a lot of world records for a long
time because they just made no sense and they really
shouldn't be world records. And to make it even less
possible for that to not happen anymore, Guinness is now
celebrating its seventieth birthday by birthday by sharing a list
of seventy records. No one's attempted yet, so get ready.

(34:57):
The most high fives in thirty seconds, who care, fastest
time to make a burrito? Who cares? Longest air guitar
marathon nobody cares, just like the first two, and most
whoopee cushions sat on in one minute. But here's the

(35:17):
kicker by a team of two people. Please get us,
just stop it. That's gonna do it for this week.
Thanks a lot, thanks for listening.
