for sharing your lunch hour, whichI guess is about right it don't
no, but people who are retiredwill what do you What time are your
parents retired? My parents are notretired. Okay, they're coming close,
but they're not there. They're gettingthere, but not just not quite yet.

(01:11):
Oh well, I would guess that. I would guess that most people
still have about the same lunch hour, roughly twelve to wanish, although since
it is so crowded in most places, from twelve to wanish if I were
retired, I might ease in alittle earlier or a little later and just

(01:33):
take advantage of the senior special.Somewhere they will get that four o'clock dinner
special. Huh yeah, oh,you had jump right in. Yeah,
quick, quick, before you misssomething, so I can get back and
watch Wheel of Fortune. I've honestlynothing against Pat and Vanna, but I've

(01:57):
kind of lost interest in Wheel ofFortune. I watched it for who is
this calling me during the show.I don't know. I'm gonna have to
let's see. I just put ano on that. Okay, Yeah,
that's whatever. Just send me aleave me a note. That's what I
need. I need somebody to leaveme a message. I'm really kind of
hesitant to answer any phone call thatdoesn't have a name on it during the

(02:22):
show because that's probably not going tobe anybody I needed to talk to.
And if it is, I'll findout later. I'll find out during the
break. All right, So welcometo day eleven post Barrel, a day
on which there are still thousands offew Stonians actually without electricity. And I

(02:42):
promised, I promised from the timeI got back onto the air. I
guess it was Tuesday last week.I promised then that I would continue to
mention this horrific circumstance until power isrestored to all of us, and I
will. If you're still without powerand you you can find a way to
do it, Either call Pound twofifty and say fifty plus and leave me

(03:04):
a message there, or send mean email to let me know where you
are in town, and I'll dowhatever I can to help. I don't
know what it will be. Idon't know how much I can get done
in my humble little position around here. But whatever it is I can do,
I will do. We're in fora few days of scattered thunderstorms right
now, and I'm still antsy everytime I see a flash of light in

(03:25):
her here clap of thunder. Idon't know how long it's going to take
to feel comfortable again, but thatday will come. It did after Ike,
it did after Harvey, and itwill after Beryl for us all someday,
some longer than others. I'm Thisone was really difficult, though,

(03:46):
because it was the first one whereI had my family was fragmented, just
kind of all over town. Itwas very difficult for me too, as
the head of household. I feellike it was very difficult for me to
ever get comfortable making sure I knewwhere my wife was. My son was
just blissfully ignorant to how crazy thiswas and did manage to step up and

(04:11):
take care of himself very well.So for that, I thank him.
It made it a lot easier onme. It really did so. For
the highs and lows in high coupforecast today courtesy of Texas into air quality
specials, uh called pound two fiftyand say healthy air and you can find
out exactly what they do and exactlywhat discount you'll get for dropping my name.

(04:35):
Here we go, ready, wellhit me rainy but cooler, no
nineties for a full week at leastwe can breathe. Wow. You know,
I'm certain to think that I'm judgingthese based on how I like the
weather predictions rather than oh no,this is are far more thoughtful and insightful,

(04:58):
and they're there's subtle inference throughout.Oh wow. Okay, just think
of it on a more artsy thingthan rather just me standing in front of
a green screen waving a baton athighs and lows. Okay, wow,
So then what man, I don'tknow if you're gonna like this stud I'm
listening. It's a four. Hmm, interesting, a four. I'm gonna

(05:24):
have to get it. If youlet me judge it based on what I
like. That's an eight. That'sokay, that doubles the score. What
you like is an eight? Okay, that's good. I'll take the eight.
I was very disappointed before. Iwas almost about to just let you
go, get Evan to do it. I know Evan would work with me.
Well, you have to have togive it a little credit unless you

(05:45):
want to try to do better.Why don't we do that? Will?
How about tomorrow you try to dobetter? All right? You want some
of that? Yeah, I'll dothat. Okay, good? Right off
the market we go now, AndI think I'll go ahead and just start
thinking Houston Gooldexchange dot com for thewhole market report. Hence makes it a
lot simpler, and it doesn't.It doesn't jumble it up with something in
the middle. All for the bigindicators, and the red oil up a

(06:11):
notch actually to near eighty three dollarsa barrel. Again, that's only about
fifteen dollars north of where it needsto be, and gold on the plus
side up five bucks or so andholding around twenty four sixty five an ounce.
Somebody telling me again where those placesare around this great country of ours

(06:31):
that tourists can pan for gold.I'm sure you have to rent a pan
for five dollars or ten dollars orsomething like that. But you can pan
for gold and keep whatever you find. Might not be a bad idea to
take a little road trip, willwe should go to one of those places?
Yeah? Where do you want togo? Someplace where you can pan
for gold? Oh, and thenwe're gonna walk way upstream where nobody's ever

(06:56):
been before, or so we'll thinkand just get our pickaxes out. No,
you don't need to get a pickaxe. You just need a little
a pan and then you you getsome of the gravel on the on the
stream bed in your pan and youjust let the kind of water slosh around
it, and then before you knowit, there's these giant nuggets just come
popping right up to the surface.I don't know, I kind of want
to use a pick axe. Yougotta go underground to do that. Well,

(07:20):
you got to start somewhere. Yougotta start above ground. And I'm
gonna dig No, I'm gonna gounderwater. What you're gonna do is poke
a hole in the ground of wateris gonna come up, and then as
the gold washes downstream, I'm gonnapick it off in my pan. Well.
It sounds like a pretty pretty goodplan to me, now, if
we were splitting fifty to fifty.But since I'm gonna be the brains of
this operation, it's gonna be likeseventy thirty. Okay, But I'm the

(07:43):
muscle bug, I'm the mustle.That's my point. You made my point
for me. All right, Let'sget out of here, take a little
break here. When we get back, I have a guest who's going to
hopefully help us all get through thisa little more comfortably. And he and
his group have been doing this formany, many years, and I'm really

(08:05):
glad to have him on. Ithink it's going to be very interesting.

as fifty plus continues. All right, welcome back. Segment of the program

(09:13):
starts right now. I found outwho it was who called me. She
is calling and just forgot that I'mon the air right now, but is
calling in reference to a fantastic interviewI'm going to have next week with someone
from the Lone Star Flight Museum.I true confession. I have not been
down there yet, but I reallyreally want to go. I do.

(09:37):
I want to see that place.I have a fascination with aircraft. I
used to go to the air showswith my dad all the time, all
the time, and it was afantastic opportunity, and I hope it.
I hope I get to go downthere soon. All right, moving forward,

(09:58):
See, I got to that.I got to that. Let's dig
into the real world outside of Houstonfor a minute and talk about what happened
this past Saturday and the aftermath thereofNow that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Majorcis is said to be putting uproadblocks between the House's investigation into the assassination

(10:26):
attempt and Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle'stestimony in front of that panel. I
cannot think of any reasons other thansome that are just unthinkable that he would
in any way, shape or form, slow down or block her from testifying

(10:48):
in front of Congress. It itmakes absolutely no sense. Everybody, it
should be all hands on deck.We've got to get to the bottom of
this. Everybody, answer every questionyou're in, answered as honestly as you
can, and then let's fix this. We all deserve a very full accounting
of exactly what went wrong that day, no matter how long the list,

(11:11):
and no matter whose names are onit. I'm kind of curious to see
exactly why I would love an answeras to why he would even he would
even be in the same room tryingto block anything. He just that should
have been a quick phone call.Tell them whatever they answer, any questions
they have for you. We've gotto get this sorted out. He's in

(11:35):
charge of the Secret Service, andhe's telling its director, or at least
in some way, shape or form, as several stories have now reported,
he's kind of putting up hurdles tohaving her just open the books and do
and say everything there is that canbe said. Very disappointing. All right,

(11:58):
before I get to this next littlebit of that, I will shut
down the hard stuff and go tosomething a little softer. Will Are you
ready? I am? Okay?Open books. Not a good role model,
or I don't stand a chance.Not a good role model. Good
role It's almost back to school season, right, Well, they say that,

(12:20):
Actually, my son goes back fourweeks from yesterday. He's back in
school. Twelve percent of parents admitto doing what to get their kids to
school. Supplies they need. Theyadmit to I don't know what a twelve

(12:41):
percent admit to stealing stuff from workand putting in their kids' school bags.
Where are you laughing? It's prettycool, No, you know, honestly,
Well, like paper clips, Idon't know, Stapler, I don't
know. I would suspect pens andpencils will and maybe maybe pay paper pads
and stuff like that. Sadly,under current circumstances in our country, I

(13:07):
would suspect also that there's a wholelot of stuff being shoplifted for kids,
and it's a sad state of affairs. It's a horrible situation that would lead
us and lead some Americans to doingthat. But I bet it's happening.
The illegal immigrants don't have to worry. Their school supplies for their children will

(13:30):
be taken care of you and mewell and our tax dollars, so they
don't have to worry about stuff likethat. But normal, everyday, average,
hard working middle class and lower middleclass and truly poverty stricken parents,
well, they don't get that kindof help most times. That's actually rod
Ryan from over on the bus doesa great backpack program every year. I'll

(13:52):
try to get details between now andtomorrow. Perhaps somebody around here can send
me that if they're listening, andwe'll maybe give a good plug for that,
because that's an amazing, amazing causefor which he does wonderful things every
year. All Right, So thatone's down, not a good role model?
Down? One more? Will howmuch time do we have? Can

(14:15):
we do two more? Maybe?Oh, we have plenty of time.
We have three minutes and forty seconds. Well, yeah, but I may
have other things I want to talkabout too. Have you ever stolen anything
and taken it home from work?Me? Yeah, all the time.
You're not on a well never mind, I was going to say, you're
not on a polygraph, but Iguess you just laid it out pretty good.
I might have inadvertently taken a pencilor a pen when I went to

(14:37):
a meeting and not brought it backinto the office, but certainly I wouldn't
just yank stuff. Boost Is thatthe word boosts? Boost stuff? I
always feel like boosting is for whenyou're stealing something from a car. You
have no idea? What about jugging? Oh, that's following people and taking
their money when they come out ofthe bank, right, maybe follow him

(15:01):
around. I don't know. Therewas somebody the other day some woman.
I read a story about a womanwho had somebody come up to her and
basically just tell her give me yourwallet, and she said, it's in
my purse. He said, wellget it out, and he's waving a
gun at her like he's somebody,and she reaches in her purse and pulls

(15:24):
out a gun that's way bigger thanhis, and he ran and whimpered and
just scampered away. Didn't want toget in a gun fight because he might
lose. And that's how self defenseshould work in this country. It happens.
It happens more often than you thinkthat good guys merely by producing a
gun in front of a serious criminal, someone who is intent on doing them

(15:48):
bodily harm or even killing them ifthey don't comply, how messy. They
don't want it to get messy andhave a chance of them getting hurt equally
bad or even getting so they justturn and run. And I don't have
a problem with that. I thinkthat, especially those of us in this
audience at our ages, we're notgonna be able to win a fistfight.

(16:11):
I've talked about it one hundred times. We have to have something, and
the notion that more gun laws willkeep people from getting hurt is just entirely.
It's a false narrative. There isno way that taking my gun away
from me will make me safer,No way in the world. It makes

(16:33):
me so much more vulnerable. Gunsplural. I love to hunt. All
right, let's move on one morewill before we bail out of here?
What am I down to? Abouta minute and a quarter? I'm guessing
yes? Is that right? Good? I just have an internal clock.
I just know, I feel it. Will I feel it? All right?
I'm gonna give three totally new ones. Indoctrination complete low ROI. That's

(17:00):
return on investment case I know,low ROI, or just the facts.
Oh, let's go with low ROI. God, you just you have this
like lame mometer, the one that'swhere the needle moves. I'm sorry,
I have a lame mometer. Who'spicking the story's Doug. I'm just I'm

(17:22):
just going with what I hear.That's your only choice. A guy was
arrested after he locked himself in aWalgreens bathroom for five hours until they closed,
and then unlocked the door and wentout and helped himself to a bunch
of junk food and a pack ofcigarettes. Sounds like pharmacy was closed so

(17:45):
he couldn't get in there. Soundslike a good Friday night, as I
say, another good Friday night.Another one. Yeah, okay, we'll
put an X through that one.That one wasn't all that good. This
one here, I'm gonna do justthe facts. How much time break,
I'll do it. I'll do justifactswell. No, when we come back,
we're going to talk about our mentaland physical well being and ways to

(18:11):
just kind of let yourself breathe alittle bit. Behind this hurricane. A
late health if you have any sortof issue that could be fixed through vascular
technology, that would mean, forexample, an enlarged non cancerous prostate.
All the symptoms they're horrible, youknow, they are oh, up and
down all night long, trying togo to the bathroom. Maybe you finish

(18:33):
empty and maybe you go, youget back in bed, and two seconds
later it's like, oh, where'dthat come from, the same exact feeling.
It's because you couldn't empty it outpast that enlarged prostate at a late
health within a couple hours. Inthe office offices. There are three of
them around town. I believe theycan discover which artor is feeding that prostate

(18:56):
and then shut it off, andthen shutting it off off they alleviate the
symptoms over time, not a longtime either. This works. You'll be
happy as a lark in very littletime. You get to recover at home
too. You don't have to goto the hospital or anything like that.
Same with fibroids for women saying withsome head pain issues ugly veins. There
are lots of things that a lateHealth can do for you if you'll just

(19:18):
go to the website and take alook around. And most of what they
do is covered by Medicare and Medicaidas well, so there is that very
pleasant option for you. And bythe way, they're also doing a lot
of regenerative medicine which is extremely helpfulwith chronic pain and nobody should have to
suffer that. A latehealth dot comA l A T E. A latehealth

fifty plus with Doug Pike. Hi, welcome back, plaus thanks for listening.

(20:22):
Certainly do appreciate it. Thanks forsharing this piece of your crazy mixed
up for any sunny, cloudy,breezy day, but a little cooler,
so that's good news. In thissegment, I'm going to introduce you all
and myself to something I wasn't awarewas even available, and the timing of
this particular little discovery I believe isquite significant. I'm talking about the Institute

(20:42):
for Spirituality and Health, which isin the Texas Medical Center and has served
this region for almost seventy years.In all for details, I'm going to
enlist APRO Teams should hurry, betterknown as APRO, the director of the
Institute's Greater Houston Healing Collellaborative. Welcomeaboard APRO. Well, thank you,

(21:03):
Doug. I'm so happy to behere. I appreciate. How did I
do with your last name? Bythe way, you're getting there, you're
getting closed. It's CHOI okay nowthat well, that's the first time I've
actually heard it, so I won'tget it wrong again. Past two weeks
really really hard on a lot ofHoustonians and people in outlying areas talk about
the just a general level of stressand the anxiety that can arise in situations

(21:26):
like we've had, and how theyimpact people's lives. Well, yeah,
you know, one thing I thinkthat all of us in Houston have come
to realize is that when there isa natural disaster like a hurricane, like
Hurricane Battle like Hurricane Harvey, whenwe think about recovery, you know,

(21:48):
getting the lights back on, gettingfood back in your fridge is not enough.
We feel the impact of the stormof the disaster within us and it
shows up in many different ways.And this is stress and trauma that is
impacting our emotions, are thinking,how we feel, even our relationships.

(22:14):
It's alive and we can feel itwithin us, and each of you probably
have some sense of what that isfor you. For me, there was
a physical manifestation about It began probablyabout the third day and night that we
were without power, and my familywas scattered around, and I honestly I
had really never I didn't know whetherI was hungry. I know it wasn't

(22:37):
wasn't that, And it was allthese emotions flowing through me that I had
even with Ike and Harvey. Ihad never really experienced them because I was
kind of at a different place inmy life. So for anybody who every
time we hear lightning or the windblow and we get a little anxious,
Now, what are some first stepsin that moment that we can take,
maybe at home, to regain alittle calmer feeling within ourselves. Well,

(23:02):
absolutely, yeah, you know,there's so many different things that you can
do. And this is really atthe heart of what we teach at the
Institute for Spirituality and Health is that, you know, we we help people
realize that in any moment by connectingwith your breath, taking taking a pause,
reflecting inwards, you can have agreater connection with what's going on,

(23:29):
what's going on with you right now. And once you know that and feel
it, there's something you can actuallydo about it. And oftentimes we never
get to that point because the stress, the frustration, the anxiety, the
worry is so much that that's allwe know. It's hard to see actually
what's going on with us. Sojust that beginning with that sacred pause,

(23:52):
that moment of breath, and withoutfurther delay, let's let's lead from there
right into this program that you've gotcoming up next Wednesday, absolutely no cost
to help people kind of find theirway back from this one. Talk about
that absolutely. So you know,our work at the Greater Houston Healing Collaborative
began actually after Hurricane Harvey, andwe realized that we have to take care

(24:18):
of people in so many different ways, like I mentioned, and how they
can deal with their stress, howthey can understand their stress to know that
what they're feeling, there's nothing wrongwith that. And actually the more we
are connected to that, the morewe can do something about it. So
that's what we're hosting this next Wednesdayis it's a community care gathering. It's

(24:45):
online, it's free, and we'regoing to be teaching some skills and talking
about the different ways that we cantake care of ourselves and also take care
of each other. It's so importantright now to be able to show up
for yourself and the people around you. And next Wednesday, we're going to
be hosting this one hour workshop titledBreathe After Barrel and it's free. Anybody

(25:07):
can show up. You can goto Spirituality and Health dot org and jump
on our events page and sign up. And that's just going to be the
beginning, we're going to be hostingsome other workshops and groups where people can
really dial in and receive support,and all will be free of costs,

(25:30):
and so everyone in this audience canfeel even more at ease about what you
do and how you do it.All of this is available to pretty much
anybody from any walk of life,any faith, any culture, any profession.
If they need help, they're welcomeright absolutely. And you know,
like we mentioned, the Institute forSpirituality and Health has existed here in Houston

(25:52):
for seventy years, and throughout thattime, we've always been committed to the
health of our community. We havea wide variety of different programs that are
free of charge for people to comein and receive support for whatever they're going
through at that moment in time.So we're happy to have you. We

(26:14):
welcome all, and we're here foryou. I understand that the you and
you mentioned Harvey earlier, that's whenyou guys really ramped up and kind of
pivoted on this. I'm just I'mthrilled to learn about this, and I'm
almost embarrassed. It's the first timeI've heard about it. I read a
little bit I saw that you overthe years, you've trained what one hundred

(26:36):
and twenty something people on your teamto do what you're doing for people.
Now. Yes, it's not justme. Thankfully, we've got one hundred
and twenty folks who are committed andalready have been committed. The there folks
in Houston nursed as educators, communityleaders, staith leaders who have already been

(26:59):
committed at deserving their community. Andwhat we have here is a group,
a collaborative of folks who really understandthat we need to take care of the
whole person. We need to takecare of them in their mind, their
body, and their spirit. Andthis is one way that we can do
that. It's very difficult to havea healthy body if you don't have a

(27:21):
healthy mind, and vice versa,isn't it. And that's exactly what we're
teaching, is that the mind andthe body are connected, and that every
one of us has the capacity tocreate healthy and positive change once we begin
exploring that connection. This is thisis wonderful stuff, Aproa. I really

(27:41):
do appreciate it. Believe it ornot, we are already out of time.
I want to talk to you againsometime in the near future, maybe
a few weeks out to kind ofsee what kind of progress you're seeing around
town, because I think you would, you would recognize everything plus or minus,
and I really value your opinion.Thank you so much. Spirituality and
Health dot Org. I got thatright right, you sure did. All

(28:06):
right, You're welcome to have meon anytime, happy to talk. Thank
you, Doug for what you're doing. First, an absolute pleasure, ePRO.
Thank you all right. Well,we got to take a little break
here. Unfortunately I could. Icould talk to that man for an hour.
I think I easily could. There'sjust so much, so many different
directions we could take, and Ican assure you that I'm going to keep
him on the on the short listof people I will call when whenever we

(28:30):
need to talk to somebody who canhelp us the way he and his group
can. Speaking of help, UTHealth Institute on Aging is that collaborative I've
told you about so many times thatthat comes from every medical discipline. Doctors,
therapists, trainers, everybody who's involved, nurses, everybody involved in medicine

(28:53):
in some way, shape or form, and who has been willing to go
back and learn more than they learnedto get out of school and get the
diploma. The more that they learnis about how their expertise, their knowledge
can be applied specifically to seniors andour very specific issues and conditions. And

(29:15):
these providers are more than happy tosit down with you, to have a
consultation, to set up an appointmentand carve out a better path than perhaps
other providers might be able to dofor you, because they truly do understand
senior medicine. Go to the website, look at all the resources that are

(29:36):
offered there, and then look atthe providers and see what they can do
for you. Uth dot edu,slash aging, uth dot edu slash aging,
Aged to Perfection. This is fiftyplus with Dougpike. Is that new

(30:00):
will? Was that some new thing? Nope, you've played it before,
definitely. I probably played every singleone of you probably, So that's a
very good point. Yeah, weprobably have all right, welcome back forth,
and by the segment of the programstarts right now on this Thursday,
which started out pretty ugly. Actually, what we can't see outside in here,

(30:22):
but I'm guessing that somewhere around here, there's a thunderstorm. Somewhere around
here, there's blue sky somewhere everywherearound here. It's a little cooler than
it was yesterday, and I amcounting down the days by the way to
the time when I can go backand go fishing and play a little golf
at the place I play most oftenout there at Blackhawk. I can't wait
to get back out there. Ireally can't. I had to. I

(30:44):
told my wife yesterday afternoon, Isaid I'm gonna go catch a bass.
And I couldn't go back there.I knew that, so I had to
go to some alternative spots and Ijust said I'll be back when I get
one. And it took me threespots. I don't I don't stand around
long. If I'm not getting bites. I move, I stick and move,
sticking move. I'm like a Idon't know, I'm just I move

(31:08):
around a lot. When I fish. I'm too antsy. I can't just
stand there and throw a plastic wormat a stump. Twenty times. I
fish with baits that allowed me tocover a lot of water, and in
any case, about the I thinkit was one two third stop. I
caught a bass that was certainly wasn'tanything to write home about, but it

(31:30):
indeed was a large mouth bass,and I unhooked it very carefully. I
gently released it back into the water. I put my lure in its proper
place of storage on the rod,walked back to the car, went home,
got my fish. That's all Ineeded. Made me feel better.
I wasn't trying to set any records. I just wanted to feel that little

(31:52):
tug. And the operative word inthat phrase is little. It wasn't much
of a bass. It was abouta foot long. Okay, it wasn't
the smallest bess I've ever caught,but it wasn't the largest either. From
coverage of the RNC last night upin Wisconsin, MSNBC reporter Joy Reid had

(32:15):
the nerve to propose that President Trumpwas given nine seconds to take an iconic
photograph after this man took a shotat him. She's just delusional at best
to think that that's what was onhis mind. To think that he said
to anybody, oh stop for aminute, I got to get this photograph.

(32:35):
Look, there's a flag over myhead, and there's a cameraman right
there. He was just damned gladto be alive at that point, and
the emotions that were coursing and justthrew him had all to do with what
he did. Then there wasn't anyplanned nine seconds. Wait, wait,
we got a photo op here.No, that's just that's She should be

(33:00):
embarrassed to have even said that outloud. It's horrible. Same woman,
by the way, actually likened PresidentBiden dealing with COVID to President Trump surviving
an assassination attempt. She's working overtime. It seems like for angles to discredit
a guy who nearly lost his lifefor our country. Shame on her.

(33:23):
How I don't know how they howthey can sit there and think up an
idea like that, a talking pointlike that, and then absolutely actually say
it out loud with a straight face. Uh. Staying on the scene this
theme one more time. Representative TimBurchett or Burkett I believe a Republican Tennessee

(33:45):
called Buloney or something like that onthe FBI saying it still had no clear
motive for the shooting. After theFBI has conducted more than two hundred interviews
and looked at fort teen thousand images. There's got to be a clue in

(34:05):
fourteen thousand photographs and after two hundredinterviews, somebody knew something. Somebody knew
something Burkett said he's totally lost faithin this administration. And I got to
tell you, I have two Ithink the things that have gone on in
the last couple of years, andthey just keep piling on to themselves.
Every time you think there's nothing elseout of the realm of normalcy and law

(34:31):
that they could do to make themselveslook worse, they do. In Texas
news good for Texas, not sogood for California. Elon Musk moving SpaceX
and X to Texas, joining thewhat hundreds of thousands of Californians who've already
left that state for its increasingly leftways and bizarre taxes on everything and outrageous

(34:52):
gun laws. Must final Straw wasa new law signed by Governor Knewsom that
bars school districts statewide from requiring parentsto be notified of a child's gender ID
change. I used to think nothingcould keep me from leaving Texas, but
I think that if that happened here, which I don't believe it ever will.

(35:14):
I pray it won't, But ifthat happened here, that might do
it for me. Nobody knows betteror knows more about a child than his
or her parents. Period to hidesomething so life altering is an overreach of
just monumental proportion for Newsom and anyonewho thinks as he does that the state's

(35:34):
power over kids supersedes that of theirparents. Will let's have a little more
lightheartedness if we may. Are youready, yes, sweet tooth, I
can fix that? Or higher orlower? Higher or lower. In a
poll done by people will never meetand asked of people also whom will never

(35:58):
meet, and we don't know howmany or who they were, where they
were, twenty two percent of peoplebelieve that it's likely that they have interacted
with a serial killer in their lives. Believe it or not believe it.
I believe. I'm pretty sure yougot a couple of people in mind.

(36:19):
I do. Oh my word,is this from a long time ago?
Or you want to just you wantto just drop a dime on somebody or
what? Oh my yeah, yeah, Well be careful, loose lip,
sink ships. You know, youmight just might just sign your own sign
your own ticket if you leak toomuch information on who that might be.
Sounds like a threat, doug.Eight percent of people say they watch true

(36:43):
crime shows to go to sleep.Eh, you know, it doesn't bother
me to observe that as as kindof a third party observation. But for
the people who live through things likethat, I think it just I don't
see how you could ever repair yourself. I think even apro would have a
hard time digging somebody out of ahole like that. That would just take

(37:05):
years of therapy. Years. Allright, let's let's roll again. Will
how much time? One minute?Okay? Uh? Keep your socks on
swing both ways? Or self inflictedstupidity? Oh, self inflicted stupidity?
Any I know you don't have anytats. Do you have any piercings?

(37:27):
There's none visible clearly, But doyou no? Okay, I don't either.
Painful, it says here. That'sthe lead word. Painful. Rhino
piercings are trending on social media.This is just so stupid. It is
a rhino piercing. It's a verticalpiercing, plays through the center tip of
the nose, straight down and Iguess it comes right out of there,
and then you got something else tohang stuff up on. It seems pretty

(37:52):
cool. No, it doesn't.It doesn't go get one. I'll pay
for it. I'll pay for itif you want to go get it,
and you got but you gotta wearlike a ping pong ball on the top.
You'll have to talk to my motherabout that. Yeah, probably,
I won't do that to her oryou. We'll be back tomorrow. Thank
you for listening. Audios
