Sneaking away for Tres Leches

Today, Doug Pike discusses tres leches, radio listeners, and the Astros.

Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey, John, how's it going today?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well, this show is all about you. This is fifty
plus 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, and now fifty plus

(00:43):
with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hi, Welcome onboard. Friday edition of the show starts now
under cloudy and increasingly ominous sky. I haven't been outside
or looked outside in a bit, but a while ago
when I watched the I watch the Weather Channel animation
of What's coming, I realize that my trip over to

(01:08):
the Texas Children Houston Open may have to be postponed
until tomorrow or I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have
to find a bigger umbrella. There's some pretty nasty stuff
coming through here this afternoon, and I'm glad these guys
are getting at least halfway around the track, some of them.
And we've still got tea times as yet to even start,

(01:31):
so they will have a tall hill to climb to
try to finish this tournament on time. I hope they
get it done. Official forecast today, which depends on which
one you believe and which ones you look at, call
for either a ninety or one hundred percent chance of
potentially heavy rain, maybe even some thunderstorms between now at midnight.

(01:53):
In other words, if you want to see these guys play,
maybe do something else today indoors probably would be a
good idea, and then head to Memorial Park tomorrow or
Sunday as chances for rain decrease steadily through that period.
Officially thanks to Texas Indoor air quality Specialists, because cleaner
air is healthier air, and that's what they deliver when

(02:15):
they clean your duct work texasiaq dot net Officially, there's
some heavy stuff. It well, it's either headed your way
or over your head already, and it's gonna take a
while to pass. It looks like a couple of hours.
Things get a lot better tomorrow, like I said a
minute ago, when the chance of rain drops to twenty percent,

(02:36):
and that's the Sunday forecast as well. So if we
get through today and get as much golf played as
we can today, they'll make the cut, have fewer players
to deal with, and scoot them on around Tomorrow and
Sunday and probably finish up right on schedule just as
the sun starts to go down on Sunday. Hopefully Monday

(02:57):
and Tuesday look pretty good. And that's gonna work well
for me because I have an invitation to media day
ahead of the upcoming Inspirity Championship up in the Woodlands.
I look forward to that every year. I have a
good time up there, and both the Chevron and the
Inspirity are wonderful hosts into the markets. We plod now

(03:18):
from Houston gooldexchange dot com. All four indicators, as you
heard just a few minutes ago, dead red down hundreds
of points in some cases and the equivalent in others
where the actual starting number is a little bit lower
or a lot lower. The bottom line is the markets
still just don't know what to do. The Fed won't buds,

(03:39):
Tariff's loom, and people are just fretful over the uncertainty
here there and everywhere, down between a point and a
half and two points. And I think that two pointer
might even be a little bit worse right now. But
here's the deal. The tariffs at President Trump is ready
to put in force are being presented in order to
just level the playing field with countries that have been

(04:02):
taking advantage of us for a very long time. They
place high tariffs on American goods like cars, electronics, whatever
else we provided the world. But we've sat back and
let them sell their goods with little or no tariff interference.
And that just doesn't seem fair to President Trump, or
to me, or it shouldn't to any of you. Takes

(04:24):
a while to heal a broken leg, think of it
that way, and sometimes that leg's gonna hurt while it heals.
That's what happened when I blew my arm up many
many years ago throwing a ball. It hurt for a
long time. We're in the healing process now, and we'll
be back on two strong legs pretty soon. A quick example, eggs.

(04:45):
Take eggs, Okay, eggs high high, high down sixty percent
in the past month, But I haven't seen anything on
the network news about that. Media is still doubling down
on bashing our president. But he's sticking to his plans.
And if you read or watch more than just the
mainstream stuff, you'll have a good idea, probably that we're

(05:09):
on a good track and that we have to stay
that course to maintain that forward momentum that will eventually
dig us out of this hole. I'm tired of the
whining from the other side. I'm tired of them complaining
about everything that's going on and then not doing anything

(05:30):
truly beneficial to help this country forward. From the West
Coast all the way out there in California, the only
state with worse politics than all the other forty nine,
comes news via Wokespy that California Assembly Democrats voted unanimously
this week to block a bill that would have prohibited

(05:53):
boys from participating in girls' sports or changing in girls'
locker rooms. They did that even after Governor Knews them
as liberal as he is, even he said that boys
playing girls' sports was unfair. The Assembly did that despite
the majority of Californians wanting to stop this dangerous nonsense

(06:14):
as well. They just didn't care that the assemblymen, didn't
assembly men, assembly women, assembly persons. They didn't care. And
now it's time to cut off their money. Seriously, that
state's already neck deep in debt because of idiotic politics.
Even their own governor can't stop them from promoting bad politics,

(06:36):
bad policies. Who's in charge out there. It kind of
makes me wonder, honestly, if the governor has so little
control and something that he finally got behind that made
sense and is agreeable to almost a significant majority of Californians.
But the people they put in office are pretty headstrong

(07:00):
and they're not gonna They're not gonna budge. I guess
back to how much time do we have? Will none?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
You know?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
One minute? One minute? Uh, let's skip over to one
of these fun things. Then moonshot radioactive or excuse me,
what moonshot? More people will This is a fun fact
to know and tell if the if the NCAA game
you're watching becomes a blowout, or if you're not watching
basketball but you don't want to watch what somebody else

(07:30):
in the room wants to watch, you can just toss
this out there. More people have walked on the moon
than this nice baseball reference for the start of the
season too. More people have walked on the moon then
have scored an earned run off Mariano Rivera in the playoffs.
That's pretty big, that's pretty impressive, and they're two terribly

(07:53):
or concedingly different statistics. However, I would have thinked that
more people would have scored in baseball games off him
in the playoffs Ben had walked on the moon. But
just the opposite is true. So lay that one on
them this weekend when you're watching basketball. Well probably not,

(08:14):
probably not lay that on them, or probably not watching basketball,
or both both. I'll figure this much. That's okay. I
skip over. I skip back and forth between that and
other things that interest me. I'll watch what is it
the Treasures of Egypt. I love seeing all that stuff
where they go in and get into the tombs underground
and crawl through little tunnels. That's fascinating to me, and

(08:34):
then come across these huge rooms underground. We have to
take a break, don't we. We. Fute House Institute on
Aging remains to be what it was from the beginning,
an amazing collaborative of conscientious providers from all aspects of
the medical field. Everything having to do with anything medical

(08:57):
is covered by people who are part of that Institute
on Aging. And what they do to earn that credential
is go back for additional training so that the expertise
that took them to get that diploma on the wall
to get that dr in front of their name or
whatever it was they earned by all their hard work.

(09:20):
They go back and do more so that they can
apply their knowledge specifically to seniors and what bothers us,
because what bothers us doesn't bother someone, particularly like Will
or anybody in his age group, they have the benefit
of youth to keep them strong and happy and healthy
and care free. Right Will, You're just care free? Are you? Now?

(09:42):
I don't know about that? All right? Well, you and
I and most other seniors my audience I'm speaking to
now can feel at least a little more care free
knowing that people who understand us are treating us. If
you're dealing with people from the Institute on Agent, go
to their website, look at all the resources they have,
and then look around for providers. They're all over town,

(10:03):
quite literally, from the med Center out to every outlying
community around here in these ten thousand or so square
miles that make up metropolitan Houston. Utch dot edu slash aging.
That's the website, utch dot edu slash aging.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Now, they sure don't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we wash him, check his
words and spring on a fresh coat of wax. This
is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Oh is that up?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Well? So I gone too long? Did you see what
I brought in? Yeah? I did?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
You know?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Everybody?

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I want everybody to know that Doug told me this
little story that he was just gonna step out, he
needed to go find and what does he come back with?

Speaker 2 (11:02):
A big old square of trestleat Chase. There are more
squares out there, will. I was out there actually looking
for Wendy Brooks. She is the owner of berry Hill,
a place where I've been eating out in sugar Land.
They're on fifty nine at at Sugar Creek. Fifty nine
at Sugar Creek. Been there for probably thirty years, it
seems like as long as we've been in sugar Land,

(11:24):
and that's thirty two years. I believe my wife and
I eat there somewhat regularly, I would say, because she
has something very favorite that she likes, and I'm starting
to move through the menu a little bit more completely now.
And it was berry Hill that actually catered today a
going away party for one of well four, our head

(11:47):
engineer for the past I don't know how many years.
Bob Stroop's been around over here, but I was trying
to get Wendy in here so she could kind of
tell the little background on Berry Hill. And maybe I'll
do that in another show. I'll find for her, for sure,
and I'll thank her right now for bringing this incredible meal.
They bought chicken fajitas, beef fihidas, and fish tacos, and

(12:10):
oh those are really really good. So if you're ever
out that way and you're looking for just a kind
of family style, this isn't fancy. You don't have to
dress up. You just go in as you are. Decency
rules apply, of course, but you go in as you
are to Burry Hill and it's a very friendly little atmosphere.
You'll you'll love it. I promise you will. All right,

(12:33):
let me get back to the news here. Get my
reading glasses back on where so I can see the
pages a little bit better. I can read without them,
but it's just more comfortable with them. Where do you
want to go? Let's go to Let's go to Yankee Stadium?
Will have you heard? Hold on? I gotta drops it drop,
so I think I pick it up. I have to
get it off the floor. There we go hopefully it's
not that trust. Let's no, no, no, no, that's not

(12:56):
gonna be well, it's going to be dropped, but the
only only drop it's gonna make is from my mouth
to my belly. So up there in New York City,
in Yankee Stadium, opening day for the Yankees, the team
selected a woman, a Broadway actress named Betsy Wolf, to

(13:18):
sing the national anthem on opening day of Major League
Baseball in New York City. What an iconic opportunity for her,
What a tremendous honor to her. And all she had
to do was know how to sing the song, just
know the words to the national anthem. But apparently she

(13:43):
did not, because everybody watching happened also to watch her
reading the lyrics off her phone while she sang the song.
That is an embarrassed I think almost to the entire nation.
It's really, it's kind of it's a little bit on

(14:05):
the Yankees for not asking her up front. Hey, by
the way, you do know the words to the song, right,
and I guarantee you henceforth throughout the land, everybody who's
invited to sing a national anthem at a major league
sporting event is going to be asked, by the way,
do you know the lyrics to this song? Because that

(14:27):
looked really, really bad that the Yankees chose somebody who
didn't care enough about our country to know the lyrics
to the song. Well, if you were put to the test,
could you sing the song? No? You don't know the
words to the national anthem? Reallyoy you do? You're just

(14:47):
trying to make a mockery.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Light.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well you may know the word what better? You know what?
But oh no, well that's not enough. Will not if
you're in not if you're invited to sing it at
opening day? Did you just hear what I just did? Yeah,
I'm not being invited sounded. Who was that woman Roseanne
Bar when she sang it and butchered it? Yeah? Roseanne Bar?

(15:13):
Yeah she did? You know who? That is? Pretty sure
it was Roseanne Bar? Pretty sure. I'm not one hundred
percent positive, but I believe it might have been the boy.
The Traveling Show of Tim and Bedow Whistle stopped in
Fort ben County last night and spent a good amount

(15:33):
of time bashing Republicans of course that's their forte uh,
but also bashing their own, including Chuck Schumer and and
then someone else I can't remember who the woman was,
but she came up there and established that her. The
best thing that Democrats could do to regain control of

(15:55):
the world would beat to just put out a blanket
band on AR fifteen's that would turn their tide in
the upcoming elections. No, that's not gonna work. That's not
That's been tried a hundred times. It never works, It
never will. It makes no sense when you really look
at it. Wals also talked about laying most of the

(16:18):
blame for what he thinks is wrong with this country
on rich, old white men who happened to make up
a very good part of that audience if you look
at the photographs, so that might have cost him a
few more votes, or at least it will. It will
lay some doubt into the minds of people who wondered
just how out of touch these people can be, how

(16:39):
disconnected they are from their base. They have allowed for
the better part of ten twelve years now, maybe even
a little bit longer, they've allowed marginal fractional people way
way far left to talk them into doing things most
Americans don't want done in this country. And it finally
caught up to them this past November, when they're so

(17:00):
scared of losing those fractional shares that they're still ignoring
the wishes and hopes of the majority of what's left.
I'll wrap that in quotes of their party. Most Democrats,
I genuinely believe are good people who want better things
for America. But they're not leaning so far left that
they fall over onto their shoulders. They're not that far

(17:25):
out there. And I think if those people come forward
and sit down with people on the right and do
what Americans used to do, would be to go into
a room, hash things out, come up with solutions that
were okay to both sides. Even every now and then

(17:47):
Republicans had to hold their nose and let Democrats get
their way every now and then, Democrats had to hold
their nose and let Republicans have their way. But all
of that, when it came from honest, discover us and debate,
made our country better. Now. The left is the extreme left,

(18:07):
the ones who are out there actually making all the noise.
It's either their way, or they cancel you, or they
get a bullhorn and shout in your ear, or they
throw paint on you, or they they curse you out
in public. As if that has any meaning left at
all anymore. That's as a quick sidebar right here. I'm

(18:29):
sick and tired of looking at videos of little children,
little tiny children, three four, five, six year olds, okay,
and their parents somehow think it's funny to put them
on social media platforms dropping f bombs and flipping people off,
including their own parents, And somehow that's acceptable and even

(18:53):
humorous to some people that I find it really kind
of bad parenting. If you're starting them from that low
below the bar, they may never get back up to level.
They may never get back up to the middle. Something's
gonna go wrong. They're gonna say the wrong thing to
the wrong person, and it's gonna backfire on them. And

(19:16):
if that's the way you want to raise your child,
I'm not gonna tell you how to raise your child,
but I will say that you're I believe that you're
putting them at a disadvantage from jump. Well you who
you waving at? Will we gotta go? How would I
know there's no clock up today?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Also, you owe me fifty cents? Do I want? Oh?
They know that's right. They didn't have on cowboy hats,
did they? They probably heard me. You call them you're obsessed.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
You realize them Tim Waltson better or girl listening to
me the PGA.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
I don't forget Scheffler and Ricky Fowler. Listen, that's why
they got one O five T times apparently, will just
because I'm in a good mood. Ah, double your money,
don't give you a dollar? There you go? Wow? What
did I just hand you one dollar? I did I
pay my debt? Pay my debts? Yeah, why don't you

(20:15):
just post that online? Well took my last dollar? Yeah,
I don't think it's your lafest dollar. Doug. All right,
we got that? Do we do? Don't we? All?

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Right?

Speaker 2 (20:24):
On the way out, I'll tell you about a late
health This is the collective of vascular clinics around town
where you can get things done that will help alleviate
a lot of different types of pain. A lot of
ugly veins on your skin. That's cosmetic, but it's still important.
If it bothers you that you have those lines. You
don't want to go to the beach and drop your

(20:45):
legs out on the sand and have all those little
ugly purple things running all over them till you can
get a big tan on them if you don't want headaches.
A lot of headache pain is caused by inflammation that
can be alleviated by vascular procedure. You shut off the
blood supply to the nerves that are causing all that pain.

(21:06):
The most common procedure they do is prostate artery embolization
for guys. If you're over fifty, you either have or
probably will get at some point in your life the
symptoms of that. And if you do get that, you
by all means want to have that taken care of.
And that's what they do well, and most commonly in
those clinics of a late health fibroids for women, same thing.

(21:31):
They can help you with. That, and many other treatments
that they do, all done in their clinics, all done
usually within a couple of hours. You'll need someone to
drive you home because you are going to be under anesthesia,
most likely for some of them, not all of them.
They also do regenerative medicine too, by the way, which
is increasingly proving very helpful for people with chronic pain.

(21:51):
Much of what they do is covered by Medicare and Medicaid,
and again no hospital stays. Never you don't have to
worry about coming home with something you didn't y brag
in there. A latehealth dot com is a website. Seven
one three five eight eight thirty eight eighty eight. Give
them a call, set up a consultation. Seven to one,
three five eight eight thirty eight eighty eight.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
What's life without a net?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
I suggest you go to bed, sleep it off.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Just wait until the show's over, Sleepy. Back to Doug
Pike as fifty plus continues, all right, welcome.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Back, Thanks for listening to fifty plus on this. I
don't know is it raining outside? Will we'll never know?

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Will we not?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
For thirty minutes? Anyway, I may sneak out during a
break and see if it's gotten bad out there. It's
supposed to get really bad this afternoon, hopefully not. I
just sent a photograph, by the way. I don't know
if Wendy Brooks is listening, Wendy from berry Hill, who
brought all this delicious food over here. I just took
a picture of the spread that was dropped off a
little while and send it over to one of my

(23:01):
buddies who's at the Texas Children's Houston Open. I was
supposed to meet Art Strickland in the Media Center after
the show for lunch, and he will know from looking
at the photograph I took of what Wendy brought and
Adam Wesler actually out there helping himself while the rest
of the group sits back and listens to our chief

(23:25):
engineer give his retirement speech. He may be there a
while too well, you know, or Bob very well. Yeah,
I would say that he could probably he could take
up thirty minutes, just off the top off the cuff.
I mean, he seems to be killing out there right now. Yeah,
we keep hearing these roars of applause and laughter. That's him. That,

(23:46):
that's him, all right? That would be a Bob's troop
thing um back here at no I already talked about that.
I'm not going to talk about that. Where's my pen?
I didn't bring a pen? Again, that's too bad. I
don't need it very much. So uh. Also for the
baseball fans in this audience, now that we're past the
woman who couldn't who didn't know the national anthem of

(24:07):
the United States of America, but who nonetheless plotted forward
with the lyrics on her phone so she wouldn't totally
lay an egg and just have to hum a few bars.
Astros now one to zero, tied first place with half
the teams in baseball, and youngster Cam Smith who hadn't played.

(24:28):
I want to say he played like twenty games, maybe
twenty three in the minor leagues last year and then
made the roster this year. That's almost unheard of. He's
not the first ever to jump from school to the majors.
I think back way back to when I was growing up,

(24:48):
David Clyde, a young pitcher from right here in Houston,
went from high school to the big leagues, went to
the Rangers only I think it in hindsight, it was
not the best move for him, and I wish somebody
could have talked him out of it and convinced him
that it would be better to continue to develop, because

(25:09):
I think they kind of used him as a as
a draw to the stadium and used him and dropped
him unfortunately after not I think he could have had
a longer career. I'll just leave it at that anyway,
And importantly, this with spring training stats gathered and dissected.
Now that new policy of allowing hitters and managers and

(25:33):
players to challenge umpire calls, Catchers hitters and manager, Well,
the managers can't in this instance, but the players on
the field, the catcher and the batter can challenge whether
a strike strike or a ball's a ball. After all
of that, after all, everybody wondering how that was going

(25:55):
to work out, and there were one side thought that
the manager or the umpires were going to be proved
right more often than not. The other side thought that
the players and catchers had a better idea of where
the balls and strikes were. It was almost a tie,
only a very small margin between right and wrong. The
players were right a little bit more fifty two point

(26:20):
two percent, which leaves forty seven point eight percent for
the umpires to be right. And that's according to all
this hawkeye technology they had that follows the ball across
the plate. Players, managers, fans all liked the new system.
I think, uh and I did too. I watched a
few games where it was in use. They actually had

(26:42):
it last year, I think down there in sugar Land
at Triple A. But the spring training games, grape Fruit
and Cactus League games, everybody seemed to recognize that first
and foremost these challenges didn't really impact the pace or
the momentum of the game, and those are two different things.
You know, one team's on a roll and some the

(27:04):
catcher for the other team challenges a strike call or
a ball call. That's not It doesn't tend to change
the feeling in the stadium, which I think is good.
It was very good. From the Dazed and Confused desk
comes word that sanctuary city officials in Rochester, New York spoke,

(27:26):
especially the mayor there, spoke out against their own police
department for working with Homeland Security personnel when they stopped
a vanloaded with people of interest to the HSI. Mayor
Malik Evans said that the cities Sanctuary resolution prohibits its
police from enforcing federal immigration laws. What when did this

(27:51):
country turn from being the United States a group of
people who had some autonomy from state to state and
city to city, but after all were one nation. Since
when do they get to choose which laws get followed
and which laws get tossed out? We're a thousand places

(28:17):
now where handfuls of radicals just declare that their local
laws supersede those of our entire nation. How is that
possibly ever going to be? Okay? It's not. It just
never will be okay. But the previous administration didn't care.
And so a lot of these people and a lot
of these sanctuary cities because they were never rebuffed, they

(28:38):
were never told no. Well, now they're like a bunch
of whiny little kids who were who got their way
at one point for whining, and now they're just gonna
kind of run with that. I got to run to
a break too, right now? Will are we late? We
are now officially late? Driving you crazy? Yes? I might

(29:02):
go to the break right now? Why not? I will
just for you? Will We'll take a little break here.
We'll be right back to wrap up fifty plus on
this potential well soon to be, I think rainy Friday afternoon.
Thanks for listening, stand by.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Aged to perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Welcome back, final segment of Friday's edition of fifty plus.
Thank you all for listening. I just missed a call
from and tried to call back to let him know
it wasn't gonna work. I'm trying to get in touch
with Art Strickland, my golf buddy. Who is He came
in today and he's over at Memorial Park covering the
Texas Children's Houston Open, and I shot him at an

(29:59):
email a minute ago with a picture of the spread
out there to let him know that I wasn't gonna
make lunch over there today, but I'll probably meet up
with him tomorrow. And I asked him off hand, Hey,
could you do a couple of minutes live real quick
to tell us what's going on over there? And he
shot back pretty quickly, Man, I want to, but I'd

(30:21):
have to do it right now because Scott, he's just
about to come off the course and I've got to
be there for his press conference. And we were sitting
there in the middle of about actually in the front
end of about a four minute break that we just finished,
and so I just let him off the hook for today,
but I'll probably have him on tomorrow. And he is
he is one of the best there is in covering

(30:42):
these tournaments, and he covers a lot of him every year,
and I talk to him pretty often, and I'm hopefully
gonna get in a good interview with him tomorrow to
kind of give us a feel for how these guys
react when the weather goes south, which it certainly did
a little bit yesterday and then today. So far it
looks really good. I haven't checked the I haven't checked

(31:04):
the Weather Channel. I'm gonna do that right now. That's
what I'm gonna do. I haven't checked yet. Well, I
say yet, and I haven't checked in the last like
maybe hour. What the Weather Channel says is gonna happen.
If I can find that darned little icon there it is,
I'll see what the radar looks like. Because when I
looked at the future cast at the Weather Channel a

(31:27):
couple of hours ago, it looked like about two to
three o'clock just it was just gonna bust wide open
around here. And i'll see if that still stands. There's
a big blob of green, yellow, orange, and even some
red already well passed Victoria, pretty much creeping up into

(31:47):
maybe Richmond Rosenberg. And by three o'clock, and for you know,
three o'clock, four o'clock, it's gonna be through sugar Land
and trying to get out of Houston. And it'll do
that by around it'll clear up around Houston probably six

(32:08):
thirty or seven o'clock. But these next few hours, let
me take it back. I'll just walk it through manually.
There's it's starting to it'll get us pretty good by
between two and three o'clock, depending on how fast it moves,
and it's just gonna get uglier and uglier. Boy, it's
a good thing we're not offshore. That's worse down there

(32:28):
in the Gulf of Mexa, excuse me, the Gulf of America.
Then it is up here. Look at that will that
doesn't look good? Does it looks like a big orange caterpillar?
And it turns back to green. I would say, from
downtown Houston West at about three point thirty and then

(32:49):
by I'll tell you exactly when they claim it's gonna
be out of here. The last little there's kind of
a little knuckle on the backside of this thing that
will linger over inside the loop until about six o'clock,
and then after that it's it's boon voyage. We should
be okay. I don't see I don't see anything else

(33:13):
actually on the horizon either. And again it's supposed to
kind of soften up tomorrow. There may be some lingering
remnants of this tomorrow, but hopefully it'll be better and
they can get the rest of that tournament in the
leader of NPR, Catherine Mayer, was questioned very strong of
yesterday actually by Congress law about whether or not NPR
and PBS deserve federal funding. When when the when the

(33:39):
layers were peeled, when the when the curtain was pulled
back on NPR, the majority of their programming seemed to
lean decidedly in one direction, which is far left of center.
And she conceded in her testimony that the network mishandled
the Hunter Biden laptop story, for example, and also was
questioned about a twenty twenty post she on then Twitter

(34:01):
now x that Americans should be paying reparations. This is
a good this is a very that post right there
is a very good lesson actually for young people. If
you've got one, you need to give this lesson to
young people who don't think anyone will remember the things
they post now to social media years from now. Once

(34:22):
it's out there, it's always out there, and I don't
care how fast you went back and deleted it. Some
if it's controversial at all, somebody's screenshot it, and it's
always going to be there, and when you least expect it,
it's gonna rear its uglyhead and bite you on the backside,
all right, will oh No, I got to talk about this. Uh,

(34:46):
do you know who Nancy Wilson is? Will Nancy Wilson. Yeah,
And if you don't, that's even better. You don't, do you?
Nancy Wilson is a guitarist for the Yes. Yes, that's
exactly right. Well. She said recently that it's more embarrassing

(35:07):
now to be an American than it was during the
Vietnam War. Where do you want to go, Nancy? Pick
a country, any country, any city, anywhere in the world.
I will start a gofund me account tomorrow morning, and
by noon we'll be able to buy you a one
way ticket as soon as you can settle your affairs
here in pack suitcase. I get tired of people complaining

(35:31):
about our country and talking about being embarrassed to be American,
but sticking around. They know it's the best shot they
got at success. She knows that if she was living
in Singapore for the last thirty years, she might just
not have so much money as she's got. They know

(35:53):
where their bread's buttered, but they still want to complain
because I guess it makes them feel good. I guess
it makes them feel good. Ah, these two aren't really
Tiffany Cross doesn't even merit. It's not worth my time
to tell you how goofy and weird she is moonshot?

(36:15):
Will we already didn't move? That's right? Radioactive? Excuse me what?
Or too much too soon? Radio active? Okay. New report
found that seventy eight percent of gen Zers listen to
the radio. Headline declared radio is back and gen Z's
listening habits are changing the face of media. It really

(36:38):
never changed it from who? Yeah, that's what is the
report from? It says full story. I didn't look. I
don't believe it. You don't believe that seventy eight percent,
that's only three quarters will still, that's I think that
you don't believe it. Seventy eight seventy eight percent of
gen Zers listen to the radio in their cars, probably

(37:01):
most of them. Now. I'm not saying they're going to
tell Alexa to play NPR at home or to play
kt r H at home, but I bet you that
they have their radios on when they get in the car,
most of them will. I think in a world where
you can get an ox coord Will's world, Will's world.

(37:23):
I just I want to know who published who? Where
is this data coming? Go look it up? To say
that seventy eight percent of gen Z listening to the
radio they are that's what that's what it says. Look
it up, then prove me wrong. I'm running with it.
Prove me wrong.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Excuse me? What?

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Too much? Too soon? Or take the bait, Take the bait.
USA today did a story on loyalty testers. You know
who those those people are? Will what? You can hire
these people to flirt with your significant to see if
they might ever cheat on you. Would you do that?
Would you hire somebody to see if your girlfriend was

(38:07):
loyal to you? If you're at that point in your
relationship that you're gonna hire somebody to see if you've
done it? Yeah, it's probably already over. You're through. Yeah,
if you don't, if there's no trust. Now that the
flip side of that, though, will is there? There are
some videos on social media where these uh, these young

(38:30):
men will go up to two young women and say, hey,
are you all friends? And does she have a boyfriend?
And does she have a boyfriend? And they'll they'll act
and so when the three of them all know each other,
the two girls and at least one of the boyfriends
say hey, what do you think you're your man is
loyal to you and these young women. Yeah, oh yeah,
of course he's loyal to me. Well, what if your

(38:52):
friend here called him and asked him to come over?
What do they call it? Netflix and chill? Is that
what it is? Will? Is that a code? Oh man,
it is, isn't it? Yeah? It's code. Yeah, come on
over and we're gonna have some fun. No Netflix, not
really chilly in the room, and we're gonna heat it up.
So and then they get these the girl with the

(39:15):
boyfriend's girlfriend to call that guy, Hey, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Just chilling? What do you what do you talk? Why
are you calling me? Well? I was just wondering if
you got any plans tonight and maybe we could, like,
you know, I could come over and Netflix and chill
and these dumb dudes, these idiot dudes, go, uh sure,
come on over. I'll see you next Tuesday. And it'll
be next Wednesday live. I got some golf on Tuesday.
That's it for now. Thank you all for listening. I

(39:42):
really appreciate it. Audios
