Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Remember when it was impossible to misplacethe TV remote because you were the TV
remote. Remember when music sounded likethis, Remember when social media was truly
social? Hey John, how's itgoing today? Well, this show is
all about you. This is fiftyplus with Doug Pike. Helpful information on

(00:28):
your finances, good health, andwhat to do for fun. Fifty plus
brought to you by the UT HealthHouston Institute on Aging, Informed decisions for
a healthier, happier life. Andby Incredible. If a stain seems indelible,
you haven't tried incredible. And nowfifty plus with Doug Pike. This

(00:52):
microphone, come on, it'll staythere, I think. Thank goodness,
markets were up all morning. Hooray. So was gasoline. Boo. We
don't need higher prices on oil andgasoline. What we need is lower prices
there. What we need is lowerinterest rates and lower inflation and lower mortgage

(01:15):
rates. And maybe that would geta little bit more attention than what's currently
happening you, mark my words.It's not going to be long. In
fact, it's already started. Really, this very calculated, very carefully crafted

(01:37):
effort that we're going to see undertakenover the next ten to eleven months to
make sure that we fall under thefalse impression that things are going really,
really well in the United States ofAmerica. Oh, it couldn't be better.
Even our own president. I don'tknow where he's getting his information,
but God bless him, he isreally he's out of tough, he's out

(02:00):
of touch. He talked about allthese polls in which he's leading our former
president, and I haven't seen oneof them unless you unless you maybe polled,
I don't know, a half adozen college kids something like that,
or maybe some immigrants who have gotfree phones and free housing and free food

(02:25):
from this current administration, maybe they'dbe on his side. But honestly,
for the average American, every storyI read says that they're pretty much either
underwater or treading water. They're certainlynot swimming towards some fantastic finish line somewhere.

(02:46):
It's very frustrating to have to beon the sidelines watching the very deliberate
confusion being heaped on us. It'ssmoking mirrors, it just is, and
there's there's no it's the Emperor's newclothes. Uh there. I can't think
of a single policy that he's putin place that's made life better for Americans,

(03:10):
none of it, not one pieceof that stuff. Very frustrating.
There'll be some really shiny objects dangledin front of us right up to this
next election day, and I wouldencourage all of you to through some legitimate
research into subjects that interest you mostabout this country or the world, and

(03:32):
and quit relying pretty much at allon national television news, and relying less
even on local television news. Thatthey are just arms of the the bigger
national broadcasting corporations. Unfortunately, they'regood people. They're good people in broadcasting.

(03:55):
There certainly are, I know afew of them. But they don't
get to say what they want tosay. They just say what's on the
prompter. That's all you want toget the real news, go find I
don't care what six or seven sourcesyou choose even to find all your news,
but go read about the same exactstory from six or seven sources and

(04:20):
see if you don't get a lotof different ideas about what's really going on.
Very frustrating. I didn't, speakingof I didn't see anything about this
on the news. But there wasa Honduran national for whom our border Patrol
actually has no record of contact.Ever, they don't have any idea when

(04:41):
he came into our country. Theydon't have any idea where he came into
our country. What they do knowthough, The first record of his presence
was an arrest in Texas. Nosurprise there. That was June of twenty
twenty one. They let him outand gave him a court date so he

(05:04):
would come back and go through ourcourt system, which is laughable. He
didn't. He was a no show. Big surprise, are right. They
arrested him again in twenty twenty three, in July this year, in July
when he was charged with felony rape, abduction and assault. In August,

(05:30):
they let him out again. Idon't know why. And on October twelfth,
just about a month ago, theyarrested this man for the third time.
They're holding him now. I don'tknow how long they're going to hold
him. They're holding him now afterhe allegedly allegedly abducted, assaulted, and
raped a Woman's disgusting and that that'sjust one example. That's one example of

(05:56):
the thousands and thousands of people,millions really, who they just don't know
where they are, They don't knowwhat they're doing. We have the last
count eighty I think it's eighty sixthousand children who came into this country unaccompanied
and for whom we have no currentstatus. We don't know where they are,

(06:19):
we don't know who's got them.And we're learning more and more about
these child labor traffickers and child sextraffickers who come in alleging to be a
family member of that child, orthey hire someone. I saw something on
television, a reality show from downon the border, where a woman was

(06:40):
being questioned about the little baby shewas carrying, a toddler. I think
it was maybe with her, Idon't remember exactly, but they questioned and
questioned and questions. She finally justsaid, look, it's not my baby,
Okay, not my child. Somebodypaid me to bring this child in
and then I was supposed to deliverit to somebody else when I got in

(07:02):
here. And that goes on everysingle day at this border of ours,
that has no checks, no balances, no morals, no obligation to even
children, and just let people bringthem in, put them to work,
put them to work, working allday, all night for no money,

(07:25):
and god knows what else. Therea lot of those kids are being forced
to do against their will. Itreally is frustrating to see this and to
have that president stand there, heand his entire administration say there's nothing,
nothing wrong with the border. Border'sfine, it's secure, it's okay.
No, start with the kids.I don't really I don't care near as
much about the adults as I dothe kids. Let's get them rounded up

(07:48):
and figured out and help them havedecent lives. How about that Primo Doors
is right over here off North PostOke, very close to where I am
right now, the highest quality doors, thousands of different styles and selections in
wood, fiberglass, and iron,one of which maybe more I don't know.

(08:11):
You'll have to look around for yourself, but at least one of those
doors is going to look really reallygood on the front of your house.
Now. They do side doors andback doors and all these other kinds of
doors as well, but the frontdoors are their specialty. And the people
who own the company a family,have been in this business for a couple
of decades. They will either they'llhelp you as much as you want.

(08:35):
If you want something totally customed,you want a nineteen foot tall door,
they'll build you one, or youcan select from those thousands of doors that
they can get shipped right straight totheir warehouse here their showroom and get it
installed on your house pretty quick.If you're going to go by the showroom
to get advice from somebody there,I highly recommend taking pictures of the front

(08:56):
of your house so that they'll knowwhat they're working with. That'll shorten the
process right then and there. Theyhave good eyes, they know what's gonna
look good. Then they'll get toknow you a little bit so that the
door you end up choosing is areflection of your family's values, your family's

(09:16):
respect for yourselves and the people aroundyou. Good looking front door bring your
home's image up a whole lot.Order now before the end of the year,
and Jason said he would give youa free handle set. You buy
that front door before the end ofthe year, and he's gonna give you
a free handle set just for mentioningmy name. Doug sent me, where's

(09:41):
my handle set? You could saythat, he'd smile, and then he'd
just show you what your options are. Primo doors dot Com that's the website.
Start there. You can see alot of before and after pictures.
Primo Doors. Maybe yours will bethe next one. Primo doors dot Com.
Now they sure don't make them likethey used to. That's why every

(10:01):
few months we wash them, checkhis fluids, and spring on a fresh
coat of wax. This is fiftyplus with Doug Pike. Hi, welcome

(10:22):
back to fifty plus. Thanks forlistening. I certainly do appreciate it.
And check a note here. Ohyes, of course I saw that it's
a person who helps me schedule thesefor UT Health, and she was concerned
that I might not have known that. Doctor Jennifer Bocham's going to join us
here. She is going to helpus talk about family gatherings and parties and

(10:45):
socialization that for lots of seniors don'tquite work out the way they might hope.
Family may have moved away, friendsmay have passed away. It's a
struggling. It's something we address hereevery year around this time. Thank you,
doctor Beauchamp. I appreciate you joiningus. You are welcome. Thank

(11:05):
you for the invitation. You betyou've got a pretty lengthy title here.
Associate Professor and behavioral Scientists at theUT Health Houston Physics School of Nursing and
director of the Mental Health Program atthe ut Health Houston Institute for Stroke and
Cerebral Vascular Diseases. Thank you forjoining us. So the holidays, really
they can be quite a struggle,especially for any of us who may have

(11:30):
a younger life enjoyed these big familygatherings and now suddenly they're sitting in a
facility somewhere wondering if anybody's gonna comeby between now and the new year.
That's hard, isn't it. It'sreally hard. And just like you said,
loneliness can really feel hard around theholidays because society tells us that's when

(11:50):
we spend time with others. Righteverywhere you look, that's what's there.
The effects are exacerbated to by otherpeople's families if they're in a facility.
Now they're at home, it's different, but in a facility with other seniors,
it's just made worse if their familycan't come by to see everybody else's
people coming and going and smiling andhugging and all that good stuff. And

(12:13):
it's hard. Oh yes, it'sit's it's very hard, and they can
often leave you feeling as if you'vebeen forgotten during the special times during the
year. You know, the hardthe hard reality is that some of those
people kind of have been forgotten.I hate to say it, but they
I guess we're gonna we'll talk aboutthat in a minute, about whether there

(12:35):
are ways that they can get aroundthat, and I know there are.
Is it better or worse? Wouldyou think, uh, for a senior
to be alone in their own homewith no family nearby, or alone in
an assisted living place where other familiesare coming and going. Yeah. I
don't know if I can answer thatquestion, but what I can say is

(12:56):
that loneliness is a feeling. Sowe know that somebody can be in a
house with their family or spouse orchildren and still feel lonely. Right,
you just don't feel that connection withothers. And talk about the importance of

(13:16):
social connection any time of year.Really for older adults, how does that
impact their physical and middle well being? Oh yeah, there's a spotlight on
this right now, which is fantasticbecause researchers are already shown that if you're
lonely or socially isolated, it negativelyimpacts your health. So if you think

(13:37):
about smoking fifteen cigarettes a day,it's been compared to that it has more
of a right, it has moreof an impact on health than things like
obesity. It's a predictor of unfortunately, of death and then decline and functioning
or being able to move on yourown. That doesn't even touch what it

(13:58):
does. And for mental health,like you mentioned, but people who are
lonely are more prone to depression,anxiety, cognitive decline, memory loss,
confused increase, risk of dementia.Wow, and I could go on and
on. I can see why too, because if you're not using your brain,

(14:20):
if you're not involved and engaged withother people, if you're just sitting
there staring at the TV or sittingthere looking out the window, your brain's
not working the way it should beworking all the way through your life.
Right, That's right. And lonelinesscan trigger our stress response, so that

(14:41):
means we're kind of our bodies inflamed, which leads to heart disease, stroke,
et cetera, just by being lonely. So we know it impacts us
physically and mentally. Some of theworst loneliness this country's ever experienced happened during
the pandemic. And I'm hoping thatthere were at least more more positive thinking

(15:05):
that came. There was more positivethinking that came out than negative. Some
of it we got kind of right, some of it we totally botched and
got wrong. What did we reallylearn? What was the good and bad
that came out of those times?Yeah? I think one of the good
things was that people reported that theyfelt less slnely because they knew that there

(15:31):
were a lot of other people nowacross the world that were also isolated.
Okay, so they almost felt likethey were a bit more normal because so
many other people were going through itand talking about it. It's a horrible
but on the problem side of thego ahead, it's a horrible way to
feel that you have to feel lonelybecause everybody else is lonely, or you
don't feel so lonely because everybody elseis lonely. That's I'm sorry about that.

(15:54):
I didn't mean to interrupt, butit just it just shocked me a
little bit. In cases where afamily members can't really physically be there,
talk about some ways they can takea little sting out of that, or
make a point to visit before theholiday so that they don't feel forgotten during
the season itself. But you canencourage other friends and families to reach out,

(16:18):
which is especially helpful if you livefar away, but you know others
that might live closer, and thenkeep communicating even after the holiday. Set
aside time each week to communicate.It can be a simple phone call.
It really is, these good oldfashioned conversations and interactions. It's that simple.

(16:40):
Yeah, how you doing, whatyou've been doing? Just a little
simple interaction with somebody can really maketheir day and help them be healthier.
I know there's a neighbor in myneighborhood, and if she ever called our
house and got my wife or meon the phone and said, Hey,
I'm just sitting here, I gotnothing going on. Could y'all come over
and have a conversation with me,I'd walk out the door right then and

(17:02):
there. I'd be happy to dothat for somebody. That's maybe if somebody
in this audience has got a neighborwho's alone, might want to just check
on them, and not just thistime of year, check on them once
a month or so, at leastsee how they're doing. Right, that's
got to absolutely it's just that connection. It's not any more complicated than that,

(17:22):
really, And I think we justkind of forget or we get so
busy, but loneliness can impact anybody. And I think the other important thing
to think about. We have someprograms where we match student nursing students,
medical students with an older person andthey make a phone call every day.
Yeah, it's amazing to see whatthe students learn. They're talking to people

(17:48):
that have such rich experiences in life, right, they give advice. It's
very beneficial to both. Is therea way somebody in this audience could sign
up for that? LORDI Will says, we're out of time. Let me
know that real quick. I'm sorry. Okay, resources, look up the
Friendship Line. That's a free phonecall anytime you want, twenty four to

(18:08):
seven. They have other resources.United Way of Greater Houston has a lot
of resources. Mental Health America alsohas what they call a warm line,
but that's calling in and you cantalk to someone at any time. All
right, that's great. Thank youso very much, doctor Jennifer Bochamp.
I appreciate your time. This isfantastic news for seniors everywhere. I hope

(18:30):
and I hope this audience will takethat to heart. Thank you, Yes,
thank you, sure, Bobby.All right, we got to take
a break here. Ran a littlelong I'm sorry, will UT Health Institute
on Aging. This is a bunchthat is totally helpful and happy to be
that way for any senior. Theyare specially trained in senior medicine. You've

(18:53):
talked. I've talked about that manytimes with you on this program. There
are doctors, there are physicians,assistants, there are nurses. There are
other caregivers, hundreds of them aroundHouston, the Greater Houston area, many
of them right in the medical Center, the hub of all of our medical
help for seniors. And every oneof those people especially trained to take care

(19:15):
of us. They know what makesus tick, they know what makes us
hurt. They know how to makethe hurt stop based on their extra training
in senior medicine. Go to theirwebsite, look around, get an idea.
Maybe if there's something that's been botheringyou, go ahead and make an
appointment and go see someone from theCONSORTIM what excuse me? I do that

(19:37):
a lot. That's how it wasthe original name. It's now UT Health
Institute on Aging. I'll get itright someday. I'm a senior too.
You know UT dot edu slash agingUtch dot edu slash aging aged to perfection.
This is fifty plus with Dougpike.Welcome back to fifty plus this Friday

(20:15):
edition. On a dreary, gloomyFriday. Oh my gosh, sloppy today,
sloppy tomorrow, sloppy all the wayinto next week. This front that
was rolling through here a pretty goodclip earlier, like yesterday afternoon, it's
kind of stopped. It's just kindof hanging out now. I don't think,

(20:38):
at least I haven't seen any severeweather alerts or warnings or watches.
But it's just dreary and nasty andwet out there. So if you have
to go out, just be careful, drive safely. I went and got
brand new tires put on my carlast night. By the way, it
was time. There's no question aboutit. I probably should have done it

(21:00):
two months ago, but I didit last night. I ended up.
I actually made a few phone callsand ended up back in a place out
in Missouri City, close to myhouse, at MTB. That's where I
went, and they took good careof me. I didn't ask for any
favors. I just told them giveme the best deal they could, and
they gave me a deal that wasbetter than anybody else's I talked to.

(21:21):
And that's so that's why I endedup there shot the breeze with them.
Boy I was, I was downthere late and I had to go.
I had to go pick up myson from It's just I drove the wheels
off my car yesterday. It wasjust all I did was drive. It
felt like I drove for two hours, came into work for about five six
hours, and then drove for anotherhour and a half, and then drove

(21:44):
and got new tires. And I'mglad to have them. Guys were good,
They're good, all right, there'sa god. Where do I want
to go? Let's m I'll savethat one for some other time. I
think I'm just not in the moodto talk about that. I saw an
example from years ago. This guywas talking about mortgage rates and how a
lot of people are putting off buyinghomes right now. And this guy simplified

(22:10):
what maybe makes more sense and shouldto a lot of us, I think,
than waiting. If you it wasthe last time he looked up,
the last time when interest rates wereright where they are now, okay,
And he examined the fates of peoplewho decided it was better to rent until

(22:32):
rates came down than to buy atthe seven and a half eight percent.
And what he found was that thosepeople ended up renting for the better part
of twenty years because rates went higherthan that and then finally started coming back
down to where people become more comfortablebuying. But in that same period of

(22:55):
time, after they had thrown awayall that money on rent, these people
found out that the home, thesame home that they were going to buy
back when they decided not to,had quadrupled in price one hundred thousand house
one hundred thousand dollars, house fourhundred thousand, two hundred thousand dollars house

(23:15):
eight hundred thousand. So you kindof and the way he puts it it
makes it makes very good sense.The way he puts it is marry the
house, but date the mortgage.That makes sense. That makes sense to
you, will no, So ifyou like a house, if you love

(23:36):
a house and you can qualify forit, you're gonna be better off in
the long run buying it. Andthen if interest rates go down, refinance
it. Get that lower rate.If they go down some more, refinance
again. It usually makes good moneysense to do that. I refinanced.

(23:56):
I'm trying to think once maybe theyeah, and it made perfect sense when
we say a couple hundred bucks amonth, that's something that anybody can do.
And it's really simple advice if youjust boil it down that way.
If you're gonna rent for ten orfifteen years and then go try to buy
the same house for twice as much, let's say, even then it costs

(24:17):
when you first looked at it,we're not gonna come out ahead. There
was a I titled this thing inmy notes. Do you want some wine?
Cheese with that wine? Not winewith the cheese. Do you want
some cheese with that wine? Youngwoman gets pulled over recently for driving on
the at night, on the wrongside of the road, the wrong side

(24:40):
of the road. First route itout of the box. She tries to
make excuses, says she just movedthere, hadn't been there but a couple
of months, and on and onand on. She goes, oh,
poor, pitiful her. Then sheadmits that she's been drinking, and then
she goes into a speech about hersocial anxiety and how different she is and

(25:00):
how she gets PTSD from being aroundpolice, which kind of tells me.
It's probably isn't her first time toget pulled over. Anyway, The officer
smells the alcohol, runs her throughfields sobriety tests, and she just winds
more and more, and in theend she goes to jail where she belongs
for driving drunk on the wrong sideof the road. And oh, she's

(25:23):
eligible to vote, which maybe scaresme more than her driving down the wrong
side of the road. That's Thoseare the kinds of people who are just
so self absorbed and so uninterested inlistening to other people's opinions. They just
they think they're right and they don'twant to talk to anybody about anything.

(25:47):
It's very frustrating too. What doI have here? Yeah? Okay,
I put that piece of paper overhere. Well, let's have a little
fun, shall we. Let's havea little fun. I got that taken
care of. That's this is allgood. I can little back and relax
and start chitty chatting a little bit. Let's go with well, I'll you

(26:10):
want me to just roll them offfor you? Will? We can just
kind of get through some of these, roll them up on the cutting room
floor. U. Yeah, wealready did that one yesterday. No,
I'll go to today's stuff. Okay, forty five percent of Americans pop quiz
will have you ever broken a bone? No, okay, you're spraying some
bone that doesn't count. That doesn'tcount at all. So you've sprained.

(26:33):
Everybody gets sprains. It says you'rethe most common forty five percent. By
the way, you're among the fiftyfive percent who have not. I am
among the forty five percent who have, and probably thirty percent who have done
it multiple times. Finger, toe, foot and arm man or you need
of us sit down, God,I need to slow down a little bit.

(26:56):
Pop going places, you know.One of them was it's totally my
fault. I threw a baseball orsoftball actually, in a pickup game between
the Post and the Chronicle. Theyfound out I'd played baseball in college.
They dragged me out there to beon their softball team. I get there,
laid I haven't warmed up, andthe guys on second try to score,

(27:18):
and I let go of the ball, knowing full well that I hadn't
warmed up, but I thought Icould get away with it, after all,
it was just a softball, andmy left humorous pretty much exploded.
It overtrkeed and it just like agunshot pow. Doesn't sound humorous to me.
It was not at all. Ithurt. I thought I just dislocated

(27:40):
it, so I started trying topush it back into place. But then
I could feel this grinding about midwayup my arm. I thought, that's
not supposed to happen. That wasthe most painful injury I've ever had in
my life. The foot, ithurt, the finger of the toe that
just those are not Isn't that alwaysan awful feeling when people want you to
come out and do something because theyknow that you have experience incident, and

(28:00):
then I guess and then yeah,it's just it was. It just all
goes wrong, just totally. Thattotally changed the path of my life.
I can't to this day because Ididn't get it surgically surgically repaired up in
the shoulder where everything just got pornas my arm extended and pulled everything out.
I didn't get that because I wasin my early thirties. The guy
said, hey, you know you'renot gonna play baseball anymore. Nah,

(28:22):
I'll be all right, Uh,long story, I'll tell you later.
All right, we have got toget moving. Holy callous. It that
late already. Yeah, we've gotto take a break. A Late Health
has been around for a very longtime now with three locations actually, and
doctor Doe will be happy to seeyou at any of those three locations to
take care of something that's wrong withyou that you don't want to land you

(28:44):
in the hospital. A noncancerous enlargedprostate for you, fellas in the audience,
you know what the symptoms are ofthat. They're not fun, not
fun at all. They can fixthat at a Late Health. Fibroids and
women, they can fix that ata it's a vascular clinic. So what
they do is they go in thereand they identify the veins and arteries that

(29:06):
are involved with that prostate or thatthat fibroid or the ugly veins. Well,
it's kind of that's what they're doingalready. They're identifying and see those
and then they just shut them off. They they plug them up and shut
them off so that that prostrate shrinks, the fibroid shrink and eventually just go
away. You have nothing to worryabout. Everything they do in there,

(29:27):
they usually can do within two hours. In the office, head pain,
back paining, joint pain, theydo regenerative medicine now too. At a
late health they do all of theirprocedures in the office, because the last
place you really want to wind upis a hospital. You're home in a
couple of hours. You're recuperate athome where you're more comfortable, and you're

(29:47):
back to your old self in notime. As they say seven to one,
three five, eight, eight thirtyeight eighty eight seven one three five
eight eight thirty eight. Or goto a latehealth dot com a l a
te a late health. What's lifewithout 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 pluscontinues. All right, welcome back

(30:18):
to fifty plus. Thanks for listeningon this end of the week program.
I'll be back in here tomorrow morningat seven o'clock knocking out the Doug Pike
Show on Sports Talk seven to ninety. We'll be talking about deer season,
duck season, goose season. Theduck hunters are happy, they're getting water
all over the prairie. The goosehunters are going to be happy they're getting
water all over the prairies. Thatwill help keep these birds here that they

(30:44):
roost on water. They'll feed ondry ground, but they need water to
roost because once they close their littleduck and goose eyes, they don't want
predators sneaking up on them. Andthat splitsh splash is a dead giveaway that
there's a coyote running at them.Here's something that I found interesting, well,
bowling alley in Pennsylvania raising money forcharity by letting people bowl with frozen

(31:11):
turkeys instead of balls. Which wouldyou rather have turkeys or balls? Probably
turkeys? Really? Yeah? Okay, kind of depends, I mean for
bowling. Yeah, turkeys for sure. Oh lord, because isn't a turkey
a triple strike? Yeah? Okay, well, let's go with that.

(31:33):
Okay, let's just go with thathere. This is something that it reminds
me very much of something I'll tellyou about at the end when I finished.
In the year two thousand, theCensus, the people who count people
in the United States estimated that theUS population by twenty one hundred would be

(31:55):
somewhere between and boy, they reallynarrowed it down for somewhere between five hundred
and seventy one million and one pointtwo billion people. First of all,
We're never squeezing one point two billionpeople into this country. Unless President Biden
remains in the White House and leavesthe border open, then we'll get there

(32:17):
by it next June. That isa very huge range, and it's it's
not even anywhere near accurate the latestestimates. We're currently at three hundred and
thirty three willion million. Will wheredo you think we are likely to be
