And now fifty plus with Doug Pike and the.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Thursday edition of this program starts right now. Thank you
all for listening, each and every one of you. Fifty
plus this is around for a long time now, I
guess it's a long time, what eight and a half
nine years something like that. Will, you haven't been here
the whole time, but surely you've done a history report
on it for some class years.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Well, we hit our seven hundred and thirteenth episode. Yes, seriously,
so that Wow, that's seven to one to three, which
is a Houston Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
That's pretty good. Well played. Will. By the way, at
some point in this program. I'm not sure when it
won't be segment three, because I'm going to talk to
a woman who is an expert in making the most
of your money during any shopping season, really, but especially
during the holiday season. That's upcoming. A woman named Trey Bodge.
She's been on every morning National Network television show. She's

(01:42):
been here, there, and everywhere, and been interviewed by a
lot of far more famous people than me. But this
will be our turn, and I've got my own set
of questions for her. Her name's Trey Bodge, by the way.
At some point in this program, I'm going to introduce
a segment that I asked Will to create for each
and every show we do, and this will be his first,

(02:05):
so be kind to him when you email me your
responses to it later. He's trying, what what's the topic? Will?
Do you know? Well? Yes, you should know.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I do know what the topic is, and it's
going to involve some thinking on your behalf.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Should I take a nap before? No, no nap required.
It should be fairly simple, so or something or what.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's not gonna be a quiz, but it's I think
the way that I'm going to go about this is Yes,
I'm gonna look for stories or things that I see
that might be interesting to the audience, but might be interest,
say to yourself, interested in a almost like at least
in this case, I think the audience will be interested

(02:53):
in a personal way.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Really yeah, okay, just because the obviously you're their favorite
radio hosts, Doug, I'm their favorite from noon to one
on kPr, so of course nine to five. Oh, by guy,
I'm there. Man, All right, Well, let's get through this.
Milton has finished stomping across Florida and is out in

(03:19):
the Atlantic Ocean, and that's a really great place for Milton.
Major hurricane when it made landfall, but it lost a
little punch early enough so that it wasn't just totally
catastrophic going across there. Horrible, Absolutely a few million people
without power, Yep, we've been there, done that. A whole
lot of people lost their homes in businesses, yes, and death. Yeah,

(03:43):
there are deaths assodiates associated with this storm, but still
in single digits from Milton, alongside the two thirty so
far two hundred and thirty from Helene. And it's horrible
march from Florida right through Georgia and the Carolinas and
Tennessee and oh that was that was just horrific. By

(04:04):
the way, although I feel like I'll be preaching the
choir with this, don't believe for a second, as some
liberals have latched onto and begun to claim that you
can vote your way to a better weather forecast from
now until eternity. That can't happen until Mother Nature accepts

(04:24):
a nomination and winds up on a ballot somewhere. Okay,
The people who claim that voting for more green this,
or more evs, or more windmills or solar panels or
unicorn whatever whatever they think is going to change the climate,
probably will not, almost certainly will not. They're declaring weather

(04:49):
emergencies every time the wind blows. Now, you, we every
person in the world, we are not in charge of
the weather. We're just hitchhikers. We're just hitchhikers on a
planet that's gonna be here long after either A it
destroys us or b we pack up and go live
somewhere else. People who claim they can actually vote for

(05:12):
better weather claim that we can if we just give
all our money to the federal government and then let
it borrow what thirty maybe forty trillion more dollars. Well,
then the US government's gonna change the weather around the world.
Let that sink in for a second. All these people,
all these countries that are harsh enemies who would do

(05:36):
anything to destroy us. You think they're gonna get on
board with climate change stuff. Nope, they never will. But
that's what's being told to mostly young, very gullible people,
the kind who solves problems by screaming at each other
and at us and anybody else who dares disagree. They've
lost the lost the ability to have a civil difference

(05:58):
of opinion. It's man and if you give them a bullhorn,
they'll just make it even worse. This is one of
the most blatant, most ignorant lies I've ever heard. It
really is that we can clay change change the weather.
We've had enough historical data now too, to see how
how weather impacts our planet, how it's impacted our planet

(06:18):
for thousands, tens of thousands of years. There is documentation
when were the ice ages, when we're the warmer periods,
when we're the changes, how long did they take? What
was the CO two level during these changes? Before and
after and we know we know what's going on, and
we know that the data can be manipulated to show

(06:42):
some really dramatic temperature swings. But when the data is
manipulated to show a big time of rising temperature, for example,
there probably was a swing in the other direction that
preceded that, and a swing in the other direction that's
going to follow that. Temperatures go up and down over eons,

(07:03):
and they go up and down every week, and they're
going to continue to do that for as long as
this planet is here and as long as the sun
continues to shine. They put that out of Oh well
look at this. It was up until beginning about ten
thousand years ago, there was this massive uptick in climate,

(07:24):
in temperature. What they don't tell you is that we're
coming out of an ice age then, and that after
those years of that great climb, there was also a
decline back to more normal temperatures, more tolerable, more livable temperatures.
Small scale scample of manipulation. Beautiful for the next week, right,

(07:45):
and actually a great way to see how climate change works.
Now it can be manipulated too. Change has changed long
term or short term, So Warren Sunday through Tuesday, but
a high on Wednesday of only seventy four degrees. Oh
my god, ice age on the horizon. No, just a
cold front. It'll go away to and after that we're
gonna probably see more attempts in the high eighties before
the end of the month. Oh my god. Global warming.

(08:07):
Now just a southern airflow off the warmer golf, that's
all it is. And that'll change as well. We're going
into winter, and after winter we're gonna get summer again,
and then after summer we're gonna get winter. It's been
going on as long as I've been alive. I expect
it'll continue long after I'm going ut Health Institute on
Aging is one heck of a one heck of a collaborative.

(08:31):
It is of providers from every medical discipline. They are
mostly in the med center, as you might imagine, but
they work also at clinics and hospitals and other places
outside that central medical zone we have in this city
and are so fortunate to have, and fortunate doubly because
the Institute on Agings providers are specially trained in senior health,

(08:56):
in senior medicine in the way that their own expertise
can be applied to us, you and me. They are
educated beyond and above what it took them to get
that diploma on the wall. Go to the website, a
fantastic source for almost innumerable resources that can help you

(09:17):
as a senior navigate seniority and of course those providers
who will help you get happier, healthier, fitter, stronger everything
you want to be, er all the good errs. All
you have to do is go to the website and
start there. Utch dot edu slash aging, uth dot edu

(09:39):
slash aging.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Hell, they sure don't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we wash them, check us fluids,
and spring on a fresh coat of wax. This is
fifty plus with Dougpike.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
All right, welcome back. Second segment of fifty plus starts
right now. Thank you all for listening, Thanks for letting
us dive into your I don't know your lunch hour,
your weight in the doctor's office, your drive around town,
boyd And that's fun these days. Very quickly back to

(10:27):
the temperature and whatnot before we get into the official
local weather courtesy of Texas into air quality Specialists. Because
cleaner air is healthier air. Don pound two fifty and
say healthy air.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Do that.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Do that, and you'll learn a lot more about it. Now,
you know, I'm not even going to get into it,
because it's just I feel like I'm preaching to the choir.
This is a very savvy, very well educated audience that
knows better than to believe a lot of that stuff,
knows better than to believe all of it. So let's
just move on, shall we? Ready for your high coup

(11:01):
your highs and lows and high coups? Will I was
ready for a last segment. I bet you were. Well,
it didn't get to it. Okay, best days of the year.
Wish we could wearhouse cool air and store till summer.
How do you think that would work logistically? I think,

(11:24):
first of all, we would have to call my buddy,
Aaron Battello, who calls the show all the time on
the weekends and whose entire team is devoted to building
out the interiors of gigantic warehouses. He probably puts more
miles on his vehicles and his team's vehicles than anybody.

(11:45):
In fact, I'm sure he does than anybody I know.
And he's got little pins he drops. It's called dropping
a pin on the map. Right wherever you go. His
map of the United States just looks like a bunch
of pins. That's all it is. What is that horrid noise?

Speaker 3 (12:02):
We have a little under underneath with our it's is
that did you let a b in here?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's not a bee. I don't really know what it is.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Bob and Tom can explain what it was, well, just
essentially what keeps us going.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Okay, well, then let it go and and give me
the nine that I deserve for that highs and lows
and haiku, Really you think it's a nine. It's a
lofty idea. I'm going to catch you off guard. Maybe
you'd forget.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
I'm gonna say that one's Allen's that one's a six
point six. I guess six four loads. I'm learning how
you work.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Will. I really am so into the trenches. We march now,
and I didn't get a chance to look at the markets.
Maybe I'll do that in the next break and we
can hit it later. If not, Fox News will inform you.
We'll look up the price of a bear gasoline right now.
You can go to Yahoo Finance and it pops right
up along with the market indicators. That would be good,

(13:08):
and yeah, I talk to you about what we're gonna
do at the bottom of the era. Talk to Trey Bodge.
That's good if you're interested. By the way, the Washington
Free Beacon has compiled video clips of Kamala Harris speaking
in several of her audience appropriate accents up to and
including the Jewish grandmother, the African farmer, the Eastern European,

(13:30):
and the Jamaican pothead, all represented from that one smiling,
sometimes loudly laughing. They call it a cackle. I'm not
that rude. I won't call it that, but she That's
just who she is. And as a bonus from a
recent edition of The Stephen Colbert Show, a transcript of

(13:51):
her answer when he asked her the same question that
she was asked during her time this past week on
the View about what, if anything, she would do differently
as president compared to Joe Biden. I mentioned this earlier
in the week to remind you that until a couple
of months ago, when someone whispered in her ear that

(14:13):
she could run for president, she continued up to then
to describe Biden as entirely capable of navigating a second term. Now,
when asked that question, here was her response, and I quote,
I'm obviously not Joe Biden, but also I think it's
important to say, with you know, twenty eight days to go,

(14:36):
I'm not Donald Trump. And so when we think about
the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like,
where I be be to be elected president, it is
about Frankly, I love the American people, and I believe
in our country. I love that it is our character

(14:59):
and nature to be the ambitious people. You know, we
we have aspirations, we have dreams, we are we have
incredible work. She actually said worth. I believe incredible work ethic,
and I just believe that we can create and build
upon the success we've achieved in a way that we

(15:19):
continue to grow opportunity end quote. What the hell does
that mean? And how does that compare her to Biden
at all? She talked for what was that about almost
a minute and still never answered the question. In local news,
I saw a story this past week that's just now
rising to the top of the stack from the mayor's office.
Came word of several grants total about one hundred and

(15:42):
thirty thousand changed that will and I quote here promote
arts tourism and disaster resilience, end quote, whatever that is.
I'm in favor of shining bright lights on Houston's attributes,
every one of them. But until the city's infrastructure is
entirely modernized, the water system, the streets, everything, until the

(16:04):
school districts are able to or school district is able
to actually educate this city's children, and until a lot
of other things have done, I have to question the
logic behind these expenses. I just it. It makes no sense.
It makes no sense. Will would you like to take
a swing at your your thing? Or is it too late?

(16:27):
I think it's a little too late, dog? Is it now?
Might have to wait till the fourth segment. Do you
think they'll wait that long? I hope so. I think
they will. I think they will. They'll get good information
coming up from Trey Bodge, and then after that we
will get good information from you about something. By the way,
I have a very short thing I can ask you,
and then I'll go to the next break. Did you know?

(16:50):
Will that a Rubik's cube, no matter how many times
you scramble it, no matter where you start, can always
be solved in twenty moves. Twenty moves are less. It's
just math and somehow it works out that way that
and that's how these people who do it very quickly

(17:11):
do it. They've learned that, they've figured it out, and
they know the problem is that you and I have
no idea what those twenty moves are, but some people
do and they can solve them quickly. Kirk Holmes will
solve your dilemma. If you're thinking about building a new
custom home, a beautiful new dream home of yours and
your families, wherever you want it, starting roughly in northwest
Houston and expanding kind of like a baseball field. Third

(17:35):
base is San Antonio, second base, College Station, first base Austin,
and anywhere in between. Be interesting to find that the
mid middle spot there and declare it the Pitcher's mound,
and go buy that piece of ground and build a
house out there. That would be kind of fun. Her
comes to do that for you. If that's the property
you own, you want to put that house there, They'll

(17:56):
put the house there for you, and it'll look exactly
like you see it in your dreams, in your sketches,
in your discussions with your family and friends. Start with
their architectural and design teams. Get a handle on exactly
They'll get a handle on exactly what you want and
how to go about making that happen for you. And
then they'll make sure you understand that you're also going

(18:18):
to get no matter what you build, You're gonna get
a twenty year structural warranty, which is twice the standard,
and you're gonna get two by six exterior walls which
provide fifty percent more insulation around the perimeter of that
house than traditional construction. You'll be building with the twenty
twenty four Southern Living Builder of the Year, which kind

(18:38):
of says a lot about their character, their reputation, and
their ability to make good on what they say they're
gonna do for you. Kirkcombs dot com is a website.
Start right there and watch that dream of years become
reality Kirkcombs dot com. That's ky you are, k because
at Kirk Combs, it's all about.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
You aged affection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
All right here we are. Third segment of the program
starts right now. Welcome back to fifty plus. Thanks for
sharing whatever wherever you are. I appreciate that we're gonna
talk in this segment about making the most of whatever
dollars this government of ours has left in your pocket
or person mind. And to help stretch that money, I'm
going to bring in a pro, a professional deal finder

(19:34):
and money saver who's appeared on the Today Show Good
Morning America, a whole whole lot more. Welcome please to
fifty plus Trey Botch.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Thanks so much for having me.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, I appreciate you giving me some time. I'm pretty
sure you'd rather be out finding more good deals for people.
It seems like everybody who's who's selling something this time
of year's got some sort of deal on the table,
but prices overall are still sky high's Is there anything
any sector of goods you see where prices are actually
coming down now?

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Yeah, so that's a great question. We are getting some
relief on prices on essential items. There are a number
of retailers who are committing to bringing prices down, so
we are getting a little bit of breathing room. But
of course this does not apply to everything, and Americans
are working on very tight budgets of course, so it's
really important that we take our time when we're trying

(20:28):
to shop and look for ways to save. On top
of even these retailer sales that we're seeing happening right now.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
And sticking with these big retailers, are any tips on
knowing when one of these companies has has marked something
down as low as it's going to go. Are there
any hints out there?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
So, I mean, the thing that I would do is
make sure that you're following your favorite retailers are getting
their emails. So for example, right now, we're in the
middle of a big sale week with Target and Walmart.
We just finished up Amazon Prime big deal days. So
in the next couple of days, this is actually a
good time to take advantage of these big sales. And
then we're going to see it's going to be a
little bit quiet for a little while. We'll see some

(21:07):
sales coming and going, and then we have Black Friday
cyber Money, which is kind of like the super Bowl
of the holiday shopping season, and that's right after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Well with the toilet Bowl with what it does to
our money trey, but nonetheless, for retailers who have online
and brick and mortar stores, is one option or the
other better when it comes to discounts and deals.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Okay, so this is what you should find hopefully you'll
see a consistent pricing both online or in store. However,
if you are in store, make sure to have your
phone with you and search for that item on the
retailer's website and elsewhere to see if the price is
lower someplace else. So if that happens when you're at
that store, you can ask for a price match. Most

(21:52):
major retailers will match that competitor's price as long as
you can show that to them on their phone.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, that's something I've learned at I have a guinea
pig at home. My son does, but I and my
wife take care of it none. They never mind about
all that. But when I'm buying stuff for that guinea pig,
I typically go to pet co and they will price match.
Something I learned though, is when you're price matching, if
a price in an item says sponsored, then they're probably
not going to match it because it's some kind of

(22:19):
a weird deal. That's pet Coast policy. Anyway. Is that
does that make sense to you?

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, that's interesting. I mean you will find that that
sort of special exclusive deals that you can't price match.
You know, Amazon is also a really good place to
look for pet items. I used to have a guinea
pig as well, and now we have a rabbit, so
I'm always looking for deals on my rabbit's food and
other things like that. So I like to look at
and say a pet Co, but also an Amazon and

(22:46):
make sure that I'm getting the best price. Sometimes saving
money takes a little bit of extra work, but I
try to make it easy for folks. You know, one
of those things, when you're seeing a sale, you want
to go and use a Google Shopping or Yahoo shopping
to com hair prices. You also want to go to
your favorite deal site to see if there's a coupon
or a cash back offer that you could layer onto

(23:07):
that retailer sale. And then thirdly, you want to make
sure that you're utilizing the memberships that you have. So,
for example, maybe your credit card has an exclusive discount
at Petco right now, it's just a matter of looking
at that credit card site to see if that's happening.
Or use a membership like ARP. If you go to
arp dot com slash save, you can find lots and

(23:28):
lots of discounts on everything from a Walmart plus membership
to std Florist to discounts on at the ups store,
so you want to take those extra few steps. It
does take a minute, but it is worth it.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Well, in this economy, taken a minute out of my
time to save a few bucks probably worth it. Absolutely,
it is, Try Bod.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
You think you know it's funny. I talk to a
lot of people who are not willing to take the time,
and I get it because we're all busy. But if
you can save twenty five percent off of your flowers
that you're buying for someone by by using an STD
discount through ARP, why not do that?

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Why not? Absolutely? I mean there are people, there's a
handful of people in the world who just really don't
care about money. They have so much they can't possibly
blow it all. But for the rest of us, it
does matter. And if you add up taking that minute
one hundred times over the course of a year to
save twenty five percent on everything you buy, it might

(24:25):
or or at least half of what you buy in
big purchases, that's going to add up to a lot
of money. I saw in my notes something about hidden
gems in the world of shopping and getting the best
value for your bucks. Trey Bodge, what do you consider
a hidden gem?

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah, so those hidden gems are what I was talking
about in terms of looking for coupons, looking for cash back,
looking for additional savings. And then also I will add
in signing up for loyalty programs with those retailers that
you're shopping with regularly so you can get extra exclusive
discounts and earn points. And then buying in bulk when
it makes sense, because if you buy twenty of your

(25:01):
favorite paper titles, for example, versus two, that unit price
is going to go way down. Of course, if you
don't have the place to store it, that's important to
keep in mind. But if you do, it's really good
to buy in bulk as well.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
I've been in my house thirty two years. I'm running
out of places to store anything. That you talked about
a measured approach. I want to get to this before
we get to the end here. A measured approach to
shopping year round, which I presume sits just opposite the
more common practice of impulse buying. How do you measure

(25:36):
your shopping? Correct?

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah, so measured shopping for me, especially during the holiday
shopping is crucial. And what I mean by this is
taking a moment to make a list of your recipients,
some gift ideas for each, a budget for each, and
then that way, when you see a sale, you know
what you're looking for, you can compare that to your list,
and if it's something that you're looking for and it's

(25:59):
forty percent off, you know you can make a move
and save that money versus keeping your list in your
head like so many of us do. And we're out
and about, we're seeing sales and we're seeing the discount signs,
and or we're on TikTok and we see something on
sale and we click to buy. You want to avoid
doing that because that does lead to impulse shopping and

(26:19):
then also blowing your budget as well.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Rational versus irrational. I think what about what about the
sites that claim to share all sorts of discount coupons
and codes? Are they legit?

Speaker 4 (26:30):
I think many of them are. I mean I have
been testing these sites for over a decade and there
are many that I like, you know, from Racketin to
pay Pal, honey to slip Deals, coopon cabin there are
so many good ones and they do have thousands of
deals going at any given time, so it's really worth
taking the time to visit those or you can just

(26:53):
install their browser plug in, so when you're shopping online,
you'll be served up those savings opportunities and you don't
have to work hard, which is all I'm looking for.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Really, amen to that. This is kind of just a
higher tech version of the old fashioned group on I suppose.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Huh, absolutely, and in a higher tech version of the
circulars for example, doing the work for you.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Right.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
The only downside, yeah, absolutely right, the only downside, we're
right out of time. But the only downside to adding
all those store sites is the emails I get. Is
there a way to get there? Like maybe just one
or two a month, we can we get in for
half of the emails I'm going to get.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Oh, I always do that. Actually, you know, a lot
of stores will offer sort of a less frequent cadence
than their emails, and I'm all for that. I do
not want to receive an email or text every single
day from my retailers. Or you could also set up
a separate email address and have all the promotional email
go there, so then every once in a while, maybe
once a week or twice a month, you could take

(27:53):
a quick look and look at any to see if
any of those things are are interesting to you, and with.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
That I annoint you a genius. I hadn't thought about that,
but just my little secret hideaway shopping email address and
all that garbage is gonna go there. Thank you, Trey Bodge.
You have made my day with that, and my wife's
I think, thank you so very much. I appreciate your time.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
I really do my pleasure. Thanks so much for having
met by.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, if you need to learn any more about shopping
like that, look her up online. She's absolutely with that
right there. That'll save you so much time and money.
Holy cow, all right, we got to take a little
break here on the way out. A Late Health has
been around for many, many years doing exactly what a
vascular clinic is supposed to do. Well clinics now they've

(28:40):
expanded around town, and what they do is alleviate problems
that can be done with vascular surgeries. That essentially, what
they do is go in and plug up arteries that
are causing problems so that whatever that is that's causing
the problem has no more life source, no more blood
going to it. The most common procedure they do there

(29:03):
is something called prostate artery embolization, which helps with noncancerous
enlarged prostates in guys our ages, okay, fifty five. Usually
by fifty five, about twenty five percent of men end
up with this, and the percentage goes higher as they
get older, as we get older. As I get older,

(29:24):
I'm kind of I'm knocking on the door. I think
might have to go by there and talk to them.
They also work on fibroids for women. They work on
ugly veins for anybody who needs that. There are vascular
procedures that can alleviate head pain as well in some instances,
and they do quite a bit of regenerative medicine over there.
Tot late Health. They have those three clinics, as I said,

(29:47):
and you'll never have to go to the hospital. They
do all their work in the clinics, usually within a
couple of hours, after which you get to go home
and just prop up and recoup at home where you're
far more comfortable, gonna get pampered beyond your wildest imagination
by your loving family members, and you don't have to
worry about bringing something home that you could have picked

(30:09):
up in the hospital and didn't have when you got there.
A Latehealth dot com ala t E A late health
dot com. Most of what they do is covered by
Medicare and Medicaid. Ask them about that when you call
for a consultation. Seven one three five eight eight thirty
eight eighty eight. Seven to one, three, five eight, eight
thirty eight eighty eight. What's life without a net? I

(30:31):
suggest to go to bed, sleep it off, just wait
until the show's over. Sleepy.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
All right, welcome back to fifty plus, fourth and final segment.
And according to Will Melbourne, the time when he is
going to unveil his is it gonna be a daily
or a weekly thing? Will? I guess we'll see. Yeah,
we'll just play it by ear well, especially we'll know
after this one. I guarantee you. Well, maybe we'll play

(31:12):
it by year. It might be monthly, yeah, yearly an
annual occurrence. So what do you got? And we have
to come up with a name. You have to come
up with a name for this too. All right.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
The Will Melbourne Show starts right now on Doug Pike Show.
All I've been I've been seeing on the Houston Chronicle. Okay,
A right, they've been doing thing where they they go
up to some local Houston celebrities and they ask them

(31:45):
what is their perfect Houston day? And I thought, you know,
I have a quasi celebrity with me.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Why not ask him? Well, who would that be? Will?

Speaker 3 (31:58):
And it starts off off with the morning to how
you end, and you break it down by is this.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
A work day, this is a vacation day? This is
your perfect Houston day, my perfect Hue? Do I have
to do it within the city limits of Houston? It's whatever? Yeah,
I mean, I'm gonna drive out of Houston. Oh wow.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Okay, Well, well I live in Sugar lad Will to
be fair, and I come into come into the city
to work.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I'll tell you what I could do. Okay, I'll do this.
I'll play your game. I would first go to a
couple of places I know within the city where I
could do a little early morning fishing. Okay, okay, and
I would I would spend a little time there and
then from there. And this is presuming it's not a
work day. This is just an off day and I

(32:46):
can do whatever I want. It's whatever your perfect Houston day. Okay. Well,
first of all, it's about sixty eight degrees when I
get out there and start fishing. What time is that?
Six thirty? Okay, okay, right at sunrise, right before thirty
minutes before sunrise. I want to be on the water
under a cloudy sky that will clear throughout the day. Okay.

(33:09):
I want clouds early that'll help the fishing, and low
pressure too. So there's something brewing, but it's gonna blow
out before it ever bothers me, because at about ten o'clock,
I'm gonna go over to Memorial Park and start warming
up for my round of golf that I'm gonna play.
And then after I finish my round of golf, when

(33:30):
I'll probably shoot I don't know, four or five under par,
then I'm gonna you have no reaction to that whatsoever.
You assume that that's right, and you still know what
that means. I know what it means. I played many
golf before. That's right. I forgot your expertise. I get it.
That is your perfect day. I guess I'm gonna wrap

(33:53):
it up with I'd probably just stay there and eat
at the golf course at what's that burger place there?
I forgot it? Oh, next Prime? Yeah, yeah, I'm eating
at Beck's Prime, and then I'll roll back to the
house and say hi to my wife. All right, it
probably be home by seven, yeah, and just and then

(34:14):
maybe she and I could go out for a drink
later on or something like that. That'd be fun. Ye'd
be a pretty good day's fishing and golf. I have
no problem with either one of those. You can't hunt
inside the city limits, so I had to had to
just step over that option. I guess. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Look at this what did it go out again? And
went out again on me?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
So I have no idea how much time I have left.
You have two minutes left, Okay, I'll go back to
something I wanted to do. This is really really important.
First of all, well, first of all this knucklehead. I'll
tell you about this knucklehead. First, University of Kansas has suspended.
I just found out about this an hour ago. Suspended,
not fired. They just suspended a professor who, during a

(34:56):
lecture on sleep cycles, actually said this, and I quote,
if you believe guys are smarter than girls, you have
some serious problems. And so what frustrates me there are
gonna be some males in our society that will refuse
to vote for a potential female president because they don't
believe females are smart enough to be president. We can

(35:19):
line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly
do not understand the way the world works. End quote.
And then, moments after he said all that, moments after
he expressed his true feelings, he also said, and I'll quote,
did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I

(35:41):
don't want the Dean's hearing that I said that. End quote.
Oopsie Davesy Burrow, Oopsie Daisy, Yeah you said it. And yeah,
that if I heard it, the Dean heard it. So
that's why I got suspended. I'm it shouldn't take long
to realize that the Jayhawks have made a mistake in

(36:02):
their hiring of that guy, and hopefully, hopefully they'll see
it as a mistake and rectify it and just give
him his walking papers. All right, well, real quick. One
of these is creepy, red flag but perhaps a little
too late, and diaper dollars. Ooh, one of these is creepy.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
People are talking about bad habits they're not willing to change, okay,
and the responses include refusing to delete old emails, staying
up too late, ignoring texts, and this one's really this
is the creepy, cringey when will maybe you do it,
maybe you don't. I don't even want to know. Sucking

(36:39):
