Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we go, wrap up the week, get
onto the weekend, and do all that good stuff. Welcome
to midday, which follows a kind of a cloudy or
foggy morning, depending on your proximity to the coast. By
the way, I don't know if if the previous Fox
News broadcast mentioned this at all. I don't know how
long or short it is, and what time they have
or what. But there was a story that just broke,
(00:21):
maybe maybe an hour ago or so. A warrant's been
served and three people have been detained about two miles
from Nancy Guthrie's home. No word yet as to whether
or not they are suspects, but they were detained after
a warrant was served to get them out of there
and take them down to the station to be talked to.
(00:46):
I hope there's some information that they will spill about
where she is and how she is, and I just
want to put this thing behind us and hopefully with
a very good outcome. I'm still I guess almost every
day it goes by, you have to wonder just exactly
what's going to happen. It's a tragedy, as there are
(01:07):
so many in this world these days, back to the
weather real quick. This morning was kind of like max humidity,
an air quality unique to semi tropical coastal regions like
we live in, and air that makes the skin on
one body part stick to another body part. And if
you're my age, or a little bit younger, or any
older at all, and you're a guy, you know exactly
(01:30):
what I'm talking about. This is air that you could
almost swim in the air this morning. It's a cloud
on the ground, basically, that's all it is, which is
of no real benefit to people. But I would have
to guess that the plants in the trees get something
from a warm blanket of water droplets. One more marginally
warm night ahead of us mid sixties, followed by nearly
(01:52):
eighty again tomorrow, and then back to three straight nights
in the mid forties and daytime highs in the mid sixties,
which you're gonna feel really, really good after what we've
been through, which is kind of a joke really when
you think about what we've got ahead of us in summer.
I hate to bring that up, and I can assure
you half the audience just grown. Oh no, don't talk
(02:14):
about summer yet. But this is gonna be really nice.
I am officially saying. By the way, Frankie Westmoreland in
here in Will's absence. He had to take the day
off to go do something fun. I think it was right, Yeah,
something a little fun. Okay, Well, anyway, Frankie's my weekend producer,
so he knows a lot more than he did when
(02:35):
he started. I think about hunting and fishing and camping
and all that. Well, maybe not camping. He may have
the edge on me for as camping goes, but in
any event, he's taken over, and I greatly appreciate him
being in here because I know it's gonna go well
back to where I was and looking forward to Monday
when I'm probably gonna get to play golf with my
(02:55):
old geezer buddies again. After I took this past Monday
to go fishing with my boss and his son and
Captain Mike Caciotti. We did, Okay, we really did. I
was quite surprised at how many fish we caught where
we went, but that's something I'll kind of reserve for Saturday.
In any event, the announcement I was going to make
a minute ago is that I feel like we're done
(03:18):
for the season with nighttime lows worse than about thirty
six degrees. Agree or disagree, Frankie, what do you think? So,
what'd you say was the low?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Again?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I'm gonna say that we won't get anything lower than
thirty six that season.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That sounds nice. I'd like that. If that's what it's
looking like, I would welcome it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Well, it's in my head. It's kind of fantasy. I
don't base it on any facts whatsoever. Well, I did
find out and I think I talked about this a
while back. We're in We're still in February, okay, And
history says that Houston has had freezes, legitimate freezes as
late as April tenth, that was in nineteen seventy three,
(04:00):
but not for twenty twenty six. This time, I say,
we're done with wrapping pipes, done with covering spigots, done
with covering plants, which I despise having to do, although
my eighteen year old son actually impressed me by the
way he went out and covered him. Ahead of that freeze,
we had a while back sliding into the market. Three
of the four overcame early drops. Three the four indicators
(04:22):
I watch, they were down early and are not. They're
not solidly in the green, but they're green. Russell was red,
but only by zero point zero one nine percent, So
really no change in anybody anybody's portfolio there gold riding
the upward escalator again. Set that five tho eighty two
(04:43):
dollars was an hour and a half or so ago.
Oil shit about thirty cents a barrel, but still nothing,
nothing to write home about. It's it's north of sixty
six dollars. But I have a hunch that winning if
Iran backs down from all its saber rattling, that will
that will come around. They took over the Straight of
(05:03):
Horror Moods Straights of hor Moods a couple of days ago,
and we're allegedly doing live fire naval drills. I think
they were just trying to disrupt oil transport. That straight
over there carries what was it like, thirty four to
thirty five percent of the world's oil. It has to
(05:24):
pass through there to get wherever it's going. That's amazing
actually when you think of it. Also worth noting, speaking
of oil, President Trump and the Department of Energy replate
replenishing our nation's strategic petroleum to reserves after President Biden
drew them down by more than two hundred and ninety
(05:44):
million barrels during his term. They sucked out pretty much
thirty five forty percent, maybe a little bit more. When
I'm thinking about the numbers of the actual petroleum reserve
we had under him. Now we're we're filling it back
up as fast as we can. And honestly, he did
(06:05):
that to save his neck on gas prices, because gas
was going through the roof, and the only way he
could do it was to leave us vulnerable. Thank god,
we didn't have to. We didn't need it, but he
left us pretty vulnerable to some sort of really bad
act by some bad actor around the world. Current reserves
reserves still really low. But we'll get to it. One minute, Frankie,
(06:27):
look at you, man, You got this sign language figured out.
You can talk to me by the way. You have
permission to say whatever you wanttlone or one a minute. Okay,
how about that. Okay, I'm gonna go to something kind
of silly and funny here. I'll give you. I'll do
something that I used to do with Will. I'll give
you three little headlines I wrote, and then you pick
one and we'll do it and we'll get out of
here in less than thirty seconds. Hidden treasures, I'll drink
(06:49):
to that, or friendly skies, I'll drink to that. Many
gen zers and millennials don't necessarily plan, my source said
on drinking alcohol ahead of time when they go out,
almost half of them said they make the decision kind
of in the middle of the evening, depending on where
the night takes them. Is that true with you or no? Yeah? No,
I don't drink so now.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, but you know, yeah, planning ahead, Yeah, it could
be good if you drink.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But you don't either. I haven't. No, I'm not. I'm
out of that game. All right. Let's tag into the
break here with White Tail Ranch. The place where about
ten miles or so, maybe twelve, I'm not sure. It's
close to cold Spring up in the middle of Texas.
Beautiful rolling hills, beautiful trees, and there's just all kinds
(07:39):
of amenities being put in up there. They're gonna have
complete concrete roads, no mud taxes, which is very nice.
It's kind of a it's a Texas hunting ranch theme.
That's what they're going with, hence the whitetail reference. But
if you're not a hunter. That's okay too, call it
a Texas ranch theme. You're gonna love it. Either way.
You can buy now and build later, or you can
hold onto that land for as long as you want
(08:01):
as an investment, a very smart investment, I might add,
land tends to do pretty well. Early discounts are available
and tomorrow, if you can make the plans this quickly.
I've been telling you about this for two or three weeks.
If you can make the plans tomorrow, there are There
is a one day only sale event tomorrow, the twenty
first February. Drive up there explore that country lifestyle. It's
(08:26):
gonna make you want in I guarantee you it well.
Go to the website. Take a look around Whitetail Ranch

are if you have something wrong with you and you're
just not feeling right and you want to be seen
by somebody who understands who you are and what you
have going on, check in with one of the providers
(08:46):
from the ut H or UT Health Institute on Aging.
The Institute on Aging has been around ten years or so,
maybe eleven now, and it is comprised of it's not
a brick and mortar place. It's a group of people,
a group of healthcare providers from every medical discipline who
have taken upon themselves spend their own money, spend their
(09:06):
own time, learning how to apply their knowledge whatever got
them the diploma they have learning how to apply that
to seniors. And that's a big deal. It's not available
just everywhere. This Institute on Aging here, I believe, may
have been the first of its kind in the country,
and I'm certain that it's the best. I've talked to
these people. I've known these people for almost the entire
(09:28):
ten years that I've been doing this show, and I'm
forever impressed by how dedicated they are to helping seniors
people like you and me. Go to the website, take
advantage of all the free resources there, and then if
you need them, start your search for someone who can
see you and understand what's bothering you best ut dot edu,

fifty plus. Did you get her on the phone? Not yet?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, I need her on the phone, like right away, Frankie, Okay, yeah,
I thought we'd be there when we got back. Let's
say I don't want to wait because I don't have
a lot of time and I've got a lot to
talk to her about. So anyway I can go to
how about this? And I hate to go back to
something else that's kind of outdoorsy. But it will affect,
(10:21):
it will affect If this goes through up in Oregon,
it'll affect a lot of people, and it may have
some trickle down. State of Oregon's animal rights fanatics are
trying to get a vote in the next election on
the prohibition of fishing and hunting. Believe it or not,
that's you know, they can try. I don't think it'll work.
It as it's written, this little treat would outlaw the
(10:43):
killing of any animal, any animal, except in self defense.
Start thinking about how the ramifications of that. Oregon Hunter
Associations Amy Patrick said, quote they want to make Oregon
a sanctuary state. End quote. So no more hunting, no trapping,
no fishing, no wildlife management practices to ensure healthy herds,
(11:05):
no teaching with animals. How are we doing over there?
Are we good? Getting there? Okay? Oh my gosh, that's
what I sent through earlier. Where is that sheet of
paper standby?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's what I put through here it is okay, awesome, yes, please. Anyway,
the state of Oregon is going to well, they're going
to possibly get it on the ballot, they've still got
a big hurdle to climb, the fanatics do. And even
if they get it there, I don't think it'll work.
This thing the way it's written and at present, might
(11:40):
even prohibit killing rodents in your yard or in your
attic and even doing pest control. Anybody who favors this
idea has absolutely no idea how cruelly nature will deal
with the overpopulation that's going to occur among deer and
other medium to large animals. Going to be a train wreck,
one hundred percent train. No idea about how nature shakes
(12:02):
off excesses. I know how, and anybody who listens on
the weekend knows how that would be. Nature uses two
tools to fix things like that, disease and starvation, neither
of which is very pretty and will look certainly worse
than anything else that they're doing. All Right, something else
I wanted to get to This comes from yesterday, and
he can quite get to it. Irish Rocker Bono of
(12:26):
you two okay left his left can be because he's
got enough resources to never encounter what you and I
do in everyday life. He's not even from here, Okay,
He's an irishman. And Bono's written a song about America
that calls Ice and President Trump and his supporters the
people of the lie. I looked at the lyrics yesterday
(12:49):
and it's very disturbing. And first of all, I would
recommend that he do a little bit more homework before
he kind of falls into that trap. And second, maybe
get involved with cleaning up his own country before he
comes over here and starts telling us how to run ours.
It's just absolute rubbish, absolute rubbish. I'm put a little
check mark on that. Are we having any luck at all?
(13:11):
I'm checking with her now to see if she's ready.
I hope so. I hope so, because we're going to
be out of time. Don't do that. We don't want
to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
If you thought, by the way, I just saw this
story a few minutes ago, if you thought hazing was
a thing of the past, try this. More than fifty
young men were found by police and firefighters in the
basement of a University of Iowa fraternity house, blindfolded and
covered in some of them shirtless and covered in all
(13:44):
sorts of unknown substances. It's that's not allowed at the
University of Iowa, not allowed at all. It's a form
of hazing, obviously. And when fire and police were called
to the scene, when a fire alarm was pulled and
they ran in there and told everybody to evacuate the building,
(14:06):
those poor freshmen down in the basement of that of
that building were scared to move. They didn't want to
move for fear that they would be booted and not
deemed worthy of that fraternity. This stuff still goes on. Fortunately,
that wasn't the most dangerous ever. Have we got her?
(14:26):
Have we got her now?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Okay, okay, let me let her see you say hello, yes,
bring her in please, And she's on And where's my
paper that I gave you? There we go, now we
can I've got it, Frankie, Okay, now we can go.
Welcome back to We're going to talk as long as
we can about thyroid issues. And I'll be asking the
question since I don't know anything about it, and they're
(14:48):
going to be answered by doctor Sapna Naik, Board certified
and chronologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal
Medicine at Mcgovernment Mcgovernment Medical School. Welcome doctor, Hello, thank
you so much for having me out. Oh I'm glad
we got this done. So I'm big on definitions. Let's
start with that. What exactly is the thyroid? Where is it?
What's it due?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
All right? Well, this is a topic I love because
the thyroid gland is a very important little gland that
a lot of us don't already know too much about.
But really it's a small gland that's located in the
front of the neck towards the base. And the reason
it's so important is because it makes thyroid hormone, which
is essentially a chemical that affects almost every part of
(15:30):
the body. Specifically. What these hormones do is they regulate
our metabolism, so they help us to control how the
body uses energy. So it affects things like ptrate, body temperature,
our weight, energy, so many things. You know, so many
different roles within the body.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I saw in the notes I got from from Mirror
that there it can be hyper thyroidism or hypothyroidism up
or down in what you got which is most.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Common, so hypotheridism, which is where the thyroid makes too
little hormone is typically more common than hypertheridism, where the
theroid is overactive while making too much hormone. For instance,
hypotheridism effects about five to fifteen percent of adults, whereas
hyper only effects about zero point five to about two
(16:21):
percent of the adult population.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Which one's worse.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
That's a great question, you know, and I don't know
that I have this trade for what answer for you
on that one, because you know, you can have a
patient affected by either of these, and sometimes it's difficult
to predict who will get which. Hypotheridism presents with its
unique set of symptoms, whereas hypertheridism is on the opposite
end of the spectrum. For instance, patients that are hypotherroids
(16:48):
might feel tired, maybe having some weight gain, feeling cold, constipated.
I like to think of it as a slowing down
of metabolism, whereas on the other end of the spectrum,
high birth diroy patients feel anxious, tremulous. You know, they
may be having unintentional weight loss, palpitation, trouble sleeping, so
in overdrive in metabolism.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I don't think I've ever had any unexpected weight loss.
I could use something Doctor seven and Nike on fifty
plus here what can we do to maintain a healthy thyroid?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That's you know, an excellent question, one that we get
asked a lot as anochronologist, and you know, really the
same advice we give to most of all patients, maintaining
a healthy lifestyle when it comes to you know, well
balanced diets, nutritious, avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol use. That's really
(17:41):
the same that goes with the diroid as well. There's
no you know, one particular diet that we recommend full
patients with diarid disease. So just maintaining your routine, healthy lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Let's talk a little bit about the treatment options that
are available from early detection to maybe somebody's late to
the party and they've got a real problem. What kind
of treatment options do they have.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Well, it's the great news about theory disease. It's been
around for a long time, and we have really good
treatment options for both hypo as well as hyperth arotism.
So for hypoth arotism, because the body is not making
enough boried hormone, the typical treatment is thyriied hormone replacement,
and most would have heard of medication called lethal thyroxine
or synthroid. What this is it is a tablet that's
(18:27):
taken once a day on an empty stomach, and it's
replacing what the body is not making enough off. It
usually is lifelong treatment, but most stations do tend to
feel a lot better once they've been started on it.
On the flip side, with hyperth aroytism, where there's too
much hormone on board, we have a couple of treatment
options available. Our first go to is usually going to
(18:49):
be antithyroid medication. Typical medication is something called methinosol, also
a tablet, and what it does is it reduces hormone production,
and then we've got a couple of other options. We
can also do radioactivity in treatment which destroys over active tissue,
and then the final would be surgery, which can remove
(19:10):
either pot or all of the thiroy gland.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
We don't want that at all, do we.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You know, yeah, most patients are hesitant to get that
surgery done. But you know, every treatment, every patient case
is different and a lot of consideration goes into each case,
and you know what's going to be the best option
for the patient aligning with what they ultimately want to
do you know when it comes to their treatment.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Right, doctor Sapan, and I thank you very much for
your time. So how often, really quickly, we're at the
end of our time. How often should we get checked
for this? And who does it?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, that's another great question because about sixty percent are
unaware that they even have a theory problem. But patients
that should think about seeing a theory doctor or their
primary care docs. Any type of third related diseases would
be those with just been fatigual weakness, any unexplained weight changes,
trouble sleepings, you know, developing new onset pulpitations, feeling really
(20:09):
hot or cold when others are around them, you know,
feeling normal. And also any new eye problems, bulging off
the eyes, new neck swelling or lumps in the neck.
Those are the ones that I would really encourage to
go forward and see they're a doctor.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm taking your advice and we've passed it along. Thank
you so very much, doctor.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
M By buddy, all right, we've got to take a
little break here. We want something that'll raise your blood
pressure up a little bit. Go to the fishing show
and try to figure out how you can buy everything
you want out of there. This has been going ongoing
since Wednesday, third day of the show, and it's going
to run right into the evening today and then all
day tomorrow, and well I think it start opens at
ten or so. In any event, if you have not been,
(20:50):
you you really owe it to yourself, if you call
yourself a fisherman, to go down there and just take
a look at all the all the information you can gather,
all the product you can gather. As I walked in
on Wednesday afternoon, there was a guy in front of
me who went to the door to go in, and
the woman there said, I'm sorry, you have to go
(21:10):
buy a ticket outside first. Well, I had a couple
of passes with me. So and as he walked away
toward me and passed me, I said, hang on a minute, man, here,
take this. He goes, what's that? I said, that's a
pass to get in? He goes, Really, I said, yeah,
follow me, and we both walked in there and he
asked me. He said, he fishes a little bit down
(21:31):
on the coast somewhere, but he really hasn't done a lot.
And he said, what should I do? What am I
looking for in here? I said, for you since you're
kind of new to it. Maybe if you if some
equipment catches your eye and it's in your budget, go
ahead and buy it. But the main thing you need
to do is talk to a bunch of these guides
in here. Talk to a bunch of the factory reps
(21:51):
who are there with lures and lines and all these
different things. I got into a twenty minute conversation on
fishing lines with an old friend of mine on Wednesday afternoon,
and I wasn't gonna walk away for a second because
he was giving me that much information. There's a seminar
going on all the way through till I think about
three or three thirty on Sunday when they're open. There's
(22:14):
a schedule at the website. That's where you really need
to go to see all that's going to be there
and maybe plan your trip to coincide with a seminar
you want to see. Go in, walk around a little while,
go hear the person you want to hear, and then
go back and walk the rest of the aisles. It's
gonna take you a while too. It's a big show.
Houston fishingshow dot com is the website Houston fishingshow dot com.
(22:37):
Medical Aesthetics by Angelica. You heard me talking to doctor
Ali earlier in the week. This is a place where
men can find lasting solutions to metabolic dysfunction, to hormone disruption,
sleep problems, all that women can go in and get
that same type of attention for those types of things.
Maybe a weight gain or weight loss program, maybe appearance.
(23:01):
Maybe either of you has energy and confidence issues. It'll
start with a simple blood test to determine the right
path for whoever's there might be peptides, might be hormones,
might be metabolic. And there are also some pardon me,
some procedures that can help you look better too, without
having to take medication. If you want to learn more,
(23:23):
call them and get an appointment and get a chance
to feel better, look better, and just overall be better.
Eight three to two nine three nine nine three three
zero eight three two nine three nine nine three three zero.
All right, welcome back to fifty plus. Thanks for listening.
Certainly do appreciate that. Into the news man the you know,
(23:44):
I hate to say it, but Democrats just keep ignoring
voters and delivering presents to Republicans with every time they
open their mouths. Latest to jump into the pool wearing
a concrete PFD as ilhan Omar, who said Wednesday that
not only does her already want to abolish ICE, they
also plan and are making those plans now, by the way,
(24:05):
in anticipation of a sweeping wind in November. They want
to dismantle the entire Department of Homeland Security. If that
were to happen, we would be without any Department of
Homeland Security, which is something we really really need right now.
(24:28):
The hypocrisy, it's just staggering. When Obama deported three million
illegal immigrants during his time as president, around sixty of
whom died, by the way, in ice custody, nobody protested
that same exact guy in charge too, Tom Homan, same
guy who's now in charge with President Trump, because he's
the right guy to get the job done. But when
(24:48):
Obama was given the orders, yeah, everything was just fine,
get them all out of here, because that's what our
president wanted. Now this president wants the same thing, and
the lefts gone perserk. Nobody protested them because the media
didn't tell them to custody, by the way, nobody pressed
(25:09):
ah Man, Obama, Hillary Bill, all of them, all of
them pushed for a tight border deportation of illegals, and
now they're nowhere to be found, by the way, not
going to come out and to say they're not going
to say a thing, because if they did, then whatever
they say is either going to be wrong because it
was just a flat out lie, or wrong because they
(25:30):
don't want to get called onto the carpet for doing
something that suddenly in under President Trump's rule, is against
the rules. He's Obama. What he's doing is just being quiet.
He's staying silent on all that now, and that's the
best move he could make. He's smart enough to keep
his mouth shut. If the media would actually cover this
(25:50):
stuff professionally and present both sides, including the history lessons
of what happened under Obama, a whole lot of Democrats
would realize they're being played and just becoming key figures
in an orchestrated attempt to destroy our country. Democrats, that
party doesn't exist anymore. It really doesn't, at least not
in a way that can be beneficial to the country.
(26:11):
It became the party that wants to start completely over,
no police, no private property. It's trying, with the help
and encouragement from the media and from a lot of
disillusioned people who think the Democrats are still somehow the
party of the people. They're not. They're not anything like that.
They're the party of power, and as long as they're
in power and they get what they want, they really
(26:34):
don't care what happens to you or me. I got
to that check that off. I want to go to
some other things. I had a little farther down the
line here, but are very interesting. From North Carolina, by
the way, this from Breitbart in one of that states
self declared sanctuary counties, an illegal migrant who was arrested
(26:56):
and accused of raping a child younger than fifteen, Well,
they released him from jail. This is Mecklenburg County, North Carolina,
and before he could turn around, he was re arrested
for failing to meet bond conditions and isis slapped another
detainer on him so he can't get cut loose again.
(27:18):
Thank goodness. He was arrested and accused of raping a
child younger than fifteen, and they let him out of jail.
Think about that. Fortunately for the citizens of Mecklenburg County.
This guy's behind bars again. I don't think he's gonna
(27:38):
get cut loose either, ah, man, an accused child rapist
turn loose. Somebody tell me how that makes Mecklenburg County
a safer place to live. It's not. It's just it's insanity,
absolute insanity. Boy, I've got too much of this and
I'm gonna do some fun stuff. Yeah, let's calm it
down a little bit, Frankie. Okay, we're gonna go three
(27:59):
headlines again. Oops my bad. Keep your hands off my nuts,
or say, ah, what was the first one? Oops my bad?
I'll do that one chicken. Thirty seven year old gay
in Florida got arrested after he tried to get revenge
on his ex by smashing up her car with a hammer.
Turned out, he smashed up the wrong, random white suv.
(28:22):
That's awesome. He just tore it to pieces with a
big old hammer. Uh. Somebody came out and said, dude,
what are you doing in my car? Is it? Oops?
My bad? I thought that was my girlfriend's car.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
A girlfriend? A wife x X something? Now how much
time do I have? You're right about there, man, Okay,
let's do it. We're there. Let me tell you on
the way out about one of the most comfortable things
you will ever PLoP your backside into, and that would
be the z Cliner sleep chair at Gallery Furniture. It
is adjustable to suit every body type, every comfort goal,
(28:58):
and it is it's several things at once, and you
can you can decide what you want to make it.
You can grab your pillow, maybe have a little glass
of warm milk and turn it into a bed. You
can make it a heated massage chair. If you've had
a really tough workout and you need to soothe those
achy muscles. It's a recliner. If there's a big game
coming on and you want to chill, maybe have a
(29:20):
coal one and watch the game. Mac found about out
about these these recliners after his heart surgery a while back,
and he fell in love with him and he sells
them every day. If you want whatever for the ultimate
soothing experience. Every z Cliner sleep chair, also, by the way,
has a powerlift option in case you need that to
(29:41):
pry you out of that chair. Maybe a family member
will come by and push the button after you've been
in it for several hours and just feel like you're
sinking into it and it's just so comfy and so relaxing.
Go get one any gallery Furniture location or online even
Zcliner sleep chairs from Gallery Furniture. Go check them out.
All right, Welcome back with the final segment of the
program starts right now. Thanks again to Frankie for hanging
(30:04):
out in here with me for the hour, keeping me
on the air like he does Saturday and Sunday morning.
You're gonna be right back in here, aren't you. You
and me both at one o'clock. It'd be twelve thirteen fourteen,
about seventeen hours from now, we'll be right back in
here knocking it around on kbmme so join us if
you don't mind. That'd be fun. I promise. It's really
light stuff too, really light hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, sailing,
(30:27):
backpack in, canoe and kayaking, birding. I don't think I
missed much. I was telling Frankie during the break that
I don't know what it is with my schedule or
who put together the schedule of when different events from
the Olympics were going to air, but I didn't get
to see live with the exception of the women's mono
(30:48):
bob semi finals or something like that, I didn't see
any ski jumping, which I love. I didn't see any
bob sled which I love, louge, which is just crazy,
and that skeleton thing too, that's even crazier. I didn't
get to see a bit of that stuff. I like
speed skating, so I watched a little bit of that.
(31:10):
But I was really disappointed about the bob sledding stuff
because I actually had a chance. I don't know if
I've told you this, Frank, It actually had a chance
to do a bob sled ride on the Salt Lake
City Course and it was a media trip up there,
and there were several options for what we could do,
and one of them was that, and I just said,
don't show me anymore. That's enough. We're going to do that.
(31:31):
And that was the most incredible minute, minute, a quarter
or whatever it was. I don't see how those people
do it. This guy who was driving us did a
great job. There were four of us in this thing,
the driver in three of us sitting back there holding
on for dear life. And it's remarkable how calm and
how settled that guy was in that bob sled and
(31:56):
how much we were getting banged around behind him because
we just didn't know how to anticipate any of it.
It just I saw Colin Jost actually got a ride.
Did you see that video yet?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It would make a great drinking game. Every time he says,
oh my god, you have to take a drink, and
before they're halfway down, you're gonna be in an alcohol coma.
It's amazing. Yeah, it's it's worth going in watching that,
all right, instead of well, there was one thing I
did want to talk about, and then we'll lighten it
up to get to the tail end of the show today. Uh.
(32:28):
From the keep it Classy desk, back to politics a
little bit. Uh. By the way, that desk most often
occupied by Jasmine Crockett. Right here from Texas comes news
from Illinois that a candidate in the States Democrat primary
a woman named Lieutenant Well, she's Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton.
Look her up. She's running a campaign video now that
(32:52):
leads off with multiple people saying f Trump. I keep
thinking that there's got to be some line somewhere that
the left won't cross when it comes to preserving the
dignity and decorum of political campaigns and discussion. But going
there in a campaign for the US Senate tells voters.
(33:15):
I think that this woman has absolutely no respect for
the president, no respect for anyone who doesn't agree with
her party's policies, and no respect for the process at all.
There are others in that party who use the same
profanity against the president electorate officials. So they're just so
hateful against him that they can't think straight, and they
(33:36):
don't have the vocabulary to voice a legitimate challenge to
the good he's doing for this country. They can't articulate it,
so they just throw bombs. Democrat. Democrat party needs its
mouth washed out with soap. That's something everybody in my
generation can relate to. Did your mom ever wash your
mouth out with soap, Frankie.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
No, never did that. That was kind of phased out
by the time.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
You're lucky. You're lucky, man. His soap does not taste good.
I just not saying I got it many times, but
it didn't take many to clean me up. I don't
even remember what words I might have said. That was
so long ago and I was so little, but whatever,
it was once or twice, once or twice, and it
might have just been smart mouthing, you know, I might
have been sassing my mom or my dad that would
(34:23):
have elicited the same punishment. So maybe I didn't know
any bad words by them. In any event, moving on, Okay,
I'm gonna spare you. I'll just tell you about the
hand keep your hands off. Residents in Hollywood, Florida, reported
incidents recently of a man removing coconuts from their private residences.
(34:43):
One person who's missing them says, this is such a
you know, this is such a you hurt my feelings thing.
It's almost embarrassed. It just says one person doesn't identify
who he is or what he is. We feel disrespected
and violated. Oh, violated because somebody took a coconut out
of your yard after it fell out of the tree.
(35:05):
And maybe he's maybe who knows, Maybe he's one of
those guys who can skinny up a coconut tree and
five or six little leaves, got a got a big
knife in his back pocket, takes it out, hacks off
a chunk of coconuts and drops into the ground. I
don't know, but yeah, we feel disrespected and violated. Oh,
go buy a coconut at the store. Man, did it
(35:26):
drop in the other person's yard? Like, was it like
going over no, No, this guy's just coming into different yards,
yards and yards and yards, and he's just taking coconuts.
Maybe he's got a stand on the corner. I don't
know how about this this one I titled say ah,
I'll give you say awe, But who's counting or irony?
I like irony. Yeah, that's the shortest one, and so
(35:49):
I'm gonna award myself a bonus one after I do
this dump truck in New Jersey fell into the sinkhole
it was supposed to repair. Oh nice, Yeah, say I
do like this one. A dentist in Texas, Sherman, Texas
to be specific, was arrested for allegedly performing surgery while
(36:10):
intoxicated s UI surgery under the influence.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Maybe yeah, new one in a pediatric dental office, oh man,
and she a prize, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Working on a kid's mouth and smoking drunk enough so
that patients called the police. The police came. They gave
her a field sobriety test, which she failed, and after
which she was arrested. How much time do we have?
You got two minutes? I got a world of these things. Man. Oh,
(36:45):
I don't know that I did this yesterday or not.
I don't think I did. I'm gonna give you a
chance to guess the longest wedding veil? How long was
the longest wedding veil? And I'll give you a hint.
This was done not to be in somebody's wedding, but
just to earn a useless world record. Oh gosh, are
we like in multiple feet? Oh yeah? Okay? Oh yeah,
(37:07):
fifteen feet? Oh no, not even close. That's like under
by a bit. Oh we're under by more than a bit. Okay,
two hundred feet, you're under by a grand canyon. Still,
I don't want to use up all my time getting there. Yeah, somebody, somehow,
some way, for no legitimate reason, twenty three thousand feet
(37:30):
of veil. It's only to get a name in a book.
Is not something that any bride could walk down the aisle,
you know, unless she's walking to Sharptown Center from where
we are here in the galleria. That is crazy, is
it about? Right? And tripping over that too? You couldn't
move it, I don't. No matter how light that material is,
(37:53):
you're not moving four miles of it. Yeah, no way,
who cares? That's done this? I don't want that one.
There was one over here. I did like to try
and get us to the end. We're at one minute
or less less than a minute. Yeah, we're creeping up
on it. Maybe twenty thirty seconds. Perfect. Big. There was
a big lawsuit over whether boneless wings are any different
(38:13):
from chicken nuggets. In that lawsuit, a federal judge ruled
that buffalo wild wings can indeed continue to call them
boneless wings, despite them being in essence, just chicken nuggets.
That's all they are. We had some delicious food around
here today too, for a baby shower thing. Man, if
I could get that food every day, I might get pregnant.
(38:35):
We'll see you next week.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Audio
All right, here we go, wrap up the week, get
onto the weekend, and do all that good stuff. Welcome
to midday, which follows a kind of a cloudy or
foggy morning, depending on your proximity to the coast. By
the way, I don't know if if the previous Fox
News broadcast mentioned this at all. I don't know how
long or short it is, and what time they have
or what. But there was a story that just broke,
(00:21):
maybe maybe an hour ago or so. A warrant's been
served and three people have been detained about two miles
from Nancy Guthrie's home. No word yet as to whether
or not they are suspects, but they were detained after
a warrant was served to get them out of there
and take them down to the station to be talked to.
(00:46):
I hope there's some information that they will spill about
where she is and how she is, and I just
want to put this thing behind us and hopefully with
a very good outcome. I'm still I guess almost every
day it goes by, you have to wonder just exactly
what's going to happen. It's a tragedy, as there are
(01:07):
so many in this world these days, back to the
weather real quick. This morning was kind of like max humidity,
an air quality unique to semi tropical coastal regions like
we live in, and air that makes the skin on
one body part stick to another body part. And if
you're my age, or a little bit younger, or any
older at all, and you're a guy, you know exactly
(01:30):
what I'm talking about. This is air that you could
almost swim in the air this morning. It's a cloud
on the ground, basically, that's all it is, which is
of no real benefit to people. But I would have
to guess that the plants in the trees get something
from a warm blanket of water droplets. One more marginally
warm night ahead of us mid sixties, followed by nearly
(01:52):
eighty again tomorrow, and then back to three straight nights
in the mid forties and daytime highs in the mid sixties,
which you're gonna feel really, really good after what we've
been through, which is kind of a joke really when
you think about what we've got ahead of us in summer.
I hate to bring that up, and I can assure
you half the audience just grown. Oh no, don't talk
(02:14):
about summer yet. But this is gonna be really nice.
I am officially saying. By the way, Frankie Westmoreland in
here in Will's absence. He had to take the day
off to go do something fun. I think it was right, Yeah,
something a little fun. Okay, Well, anyway, Frankie's my weekend producer,
so he knows a lot more than he did when
(02:35):
he started. I think about hunting and fishing and camping
and all that. Well, maybe not camping. He may have
the edge on me for as camping goes, but in
any event, he's taken over, and I greatly appreciate him
being in here because I know it's gonna go well
back to where I was and looking forward to Monday
when I'm probably gonna get to play golf with my
(02:55):
old geezer buddies again. After I took this past Monday
to go fishing with my boss and his son and
Captain Mike Caciotti. We did, Okay, we really did. I
was quite surprised at how many fish we caught where
we went, but that's something I'll kind of reserve for Saturday.
In any event, the announcement I was going to make
a minute ago is that I feel like we're done
(03:18):
for the season with nighttime lows worse than about thirty
six degrees. Agree or disagree, Frankie, what do you think? So,
what'd you say was the low?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Again?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I'm gonna say that we won't get anything lower than
thirty six that season.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That sounds nice. I'd like that. If that's what it's
looking like, I would welcome it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Well, it's in my head. It's kind of fantasy. I
don't base it on any facts whatsoever. Well, I did
find out and I think I talked about this a
while back. We're in We're still in February, okay, And
history says that Houston has had freezes, legitimate freezes as
late as April tenth, that was in nineteen seventy three,
(04:00):
but not for twenty twenty six. This time, I say,
we're done with wrapping pipes, done with covering spigots, done
with covering plants, which I despise having to do, although
my eighteen year old son actually impressed me by the
way he went out and covered him. Ahead of that freeze,
we had a while back sliding into the market. Three
of the four overcame early drops. Three the four indicators
(04:22):
I watch, they were down early and are not. They're
not solidly in the green, but they're green. Russell was red,
but only by zero point zero one nine percent, So
really no change in anybody anybody's portfolio there gold riding
the upward escalator again. Set that five tho eighty two
(04:43):
dollars was an hour and a half or so ago.
Oil shit about thirty cents a barrel, but still nothing,
nothing to write home about. It's it's north of sixty
six dollars. But I have a hunch that winning if
Iran backs down from all its saber rattling, that will
that will come around. They took over the Straight of
(05:03):
Horror Moods Straights of hor Moods a couple of days ago,
and we're allegedly doing live fire naval drills. I think
they were just trying to disrupt oil transport. That straight
over there carries what was it like, thirty four to
thirty five percent of the world's oil. It has to
(05:24):
pass through there to get wherever it's going. That's amazing
actually when you think of it. Also worth noting, speaking
of oil, President Trump and the Department of Energy replate
replenishing our nation's strategic petroleum to reserves after President Biden
drew them down by more than two hundred and ninety
(05:44):
million barrels during his term. They sucked out pretty much
thirty five forty percent, maybe a little bit more. When
I'm thinking about the numbers of the actual petroleum reserve
we had under him. Now we're we're filling it back
up as fast as we can. And honestly, he did
(06:05):
that to save his neck on gas prices, because gas
was going through the roof, and the only way he
could do it was to leave us vulnerable. Thank god,
we didn't have to. We didn't need it, but he
left us pretty vulnerable to some sort of really bad
act by some bad actor around the world. Current reserves
reserves still really low. But we'll get to it. One minute, Frankie,
(06:27):
look at you, man, You got this sign language figured out.
You can talk to me by the way. You have
permission to say whatever you wanttlone or one a minute. Okay,
how about that. Okay, I'm gonna go to something kind
of silly and funny here. I'll give you. I'll do
something that I used to do with Will. I'll give
you three little headlines I wrote, and then you pick
one and we'll do it and we'll get out of
here in less than thirty seconds. Hidden treasures, I'll drink
(06:49):
to that, or friendly skies, I'll drink to that. Many
gen zers and millennials don't necessarily plan, my source said
on drinking alcohol ahead of time when they go out,
almost half of them said they make the decision kind
of in the middle of the evening, depending on where
the night takes them. Is that true with you or no? Yeah? No,
I don't drink so now.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, but you know, yeah, planning ahead, Yeah, it could
be good if you drink.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
But you don't either. I haven't. No, I'm not. I'm
out of that game. All right. Let's tag into the
break here with White Tail Ranch. The place where about
ten miles or so, maybe twelve, I'm not sure. It's
close to cold Spring up in the middle of Texas.
Beautiful rolling hills, beautiful trees, and there's just all kinds
(07:39):
of amenities being put in up there. They're gonna have
complete concrete roads, no mud taxes, which is very nice.
It's kind of a it's a Texas hunting ranch theme.
That's what they're going with, hence the whitetail reference. But
if you're not a hunter. That's okay too, call it
a Texas ranch theme. You're gonna love it. Either way.
You can buy now and build later, or you can
hold onto that land for as long as you want
(08:01):
as an investment, a very smart investment, I might add,
land tends to do pretty well. Early discounts are available
and tomorrow, if you can make the plans this quickly.
I've been telling you about this for two or three weeks.
If you can make the plans tomorrow, there are There
is a one day only sale event tomorrow, the twenty
first February. Drive up there explore that country lifestyle. It's
(08:26):
gonna make you want in I guarantee you it well.
Go to the website. Take a look around Whitetail Ranch
tx dot com. Whitetail Ranch tx dot com. If you
are if you have something wrong with you and you're
just not feeling right and you want to be seen
by somebody who understands who you are and what you
have going on, check in with one of the providers
(08:46):
from the ut H or UT Health Institute on Aging.
The Institute on Aging has been around ten years or so,
maybe eleven now, and it is comprised of it's not
a brick and mortar place. It's a group of people,
a group of healthcare providers from every medical discipline who
have taken upon themselves spend their own money, spend their
(09:06):
own time, learning how to apply their knowledge whatever got
them the diploma they have learning how to apply that
to seniors. And that's a big deal. It's not available
just everywhere. This Institute on Aging here, I believe, may
have been the first of its kind in the country,
and I'm certain that it's the best. I've talked to
these people. I've known these people for almost the entire
(09:28):
ten years that I've been doing this show, and I'm
forever impressed by how dedicated they are to helping seniors
people like you and me. Go to the website, take
advantage of all the free resources there, and then if
you need them, start your search for someone who can
see you and understand what's bothering you best ut dot edu,
(09:50):
slash aging, uth dot edu slash aging. Hi, welcome back,
fifty plus. Did you get her on the phone? Not yet?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, I need her on the phone, like right away, Frankie, Okay, yeah,
I thought we'd be there when we got back. Let's
say I don't want to wait because I don't have
a lot of time and I've got a lot to
talk to her about. So anyway I can go to
how about this? And I hate to go back to
something else that's kind of outdoorsy. But it will affect,
(10:21):
it will affect If this goes through up in Oregon,
it'll affect a lot of people, and it may have
some trickle down. State of Oregon's animal rights fanatics are
trying to get a vote in the next election on
the prohibition of fishing and hunting. Believe it or not,
that's you know, they can try. I don't think it'll work.
It as it's written, this little treat would outlaw the
(10:43):
killing of any animal, any animal, except in self defense.
Start thinking about how the ramifications of that. Oregon Hunter
Associations Amy Patrick said, quote they want to make Oregon
a sanctuary state. End quote. So no more hunting, no trapping,
no fishing, no wildlife management practices to ensure healthy herds,
(11:05):
no teaching with animals. How are we doing over there?
Are we good? Getting there? Okay? Oh my gosh, that's
what I sent through earlier. Where is that sheet of
paper standby?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's what I put through here it is okay, awesome, yes, please. Anyway,
the state of Oregon is going to well, they're going
to possibly get it on the ballot, they've still got
a big hurdle to climb, the fanatics do. And even
if they get it there, I don't think it'll work.
This thing the way it's written and at present, might
(11:40):
even prohibit killing rodents in your yard or in your
attic and even doing pest control. Anybody who favors this
idea has absolutely no idea how cruelly nature will deal
with the overpopulation that's going to occur among deer and
other medium to large animals. Going to be a train wreck,
one hundred percent train. No idea about how nature shakes
(12:02):
off excesses. I know how, and anybody who listens on
the weekend knows how that would be. Nature uses two
tools to fix things like that, disease and starvation, neither
of which is very pretty and will look certainly worse
than anything else that they're doing. All Right, something else
I wanted to get to This comes from yesterday, and
he can quite get to it. Irish Rocker Bono of
(12:26):
you two okay left his left can be because he's
got enough resources to never encounter what you and I
do in everyday life. He's not even from here, Okay,
He's an irishman. And Bono's written a song about America
that calls Ice and President Trump and his supporters the
people of the lie. I looked at the lyrics yesterday
(12:49):
and it's very disturbing. And first of all, I would
recommend that he do a little bit more homework before
he kind of falls into that trap. And second, maybe
get involved with cleaning up his own country before he
comes over here and starts telling us how to run ours.
It's just absolute rubbish, absolute rubbish. I'm put a little
check mark on that. Are we having any luck at all?
(13:11):
I'm checking with her now to see if she's ready.
I hope so. I hope so, because we're going to
be out of time. Don't do that. We don't want
to do that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
If you thought, by the way, I just saw this
story a few minutes ago, if you thought hazing was
a thing of the past, try this. More than fifty
young men were found by police and firefighters in the
basement of a University of Iowa fraternity house, blindfolded and
covered in some of them shirtless and covered in all
(13:44):
sorts of unknown substances. It's that's not allowed at the
University of Iowa, not allowed at all. It's a form
of hazing, obviously. And when fire and police were called
to the scene, when a fire alarm was pulled and
they ran in there and told everybody to evacuate the building,
(14:06):
those poor freshmen down in the basement of that of
that building were scared to move. They didn't want to
move for fear that they would be booted and not
deemed worthy of that fraternity. This stuff still goes on. Fortunately,
that wasn't the most dangerous ever. Have we got her?
(14:26):
Have we got her now?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Okay, okay, let me let her see you say hello, yes,
bring her in please, And she's on And where's my
paper that I gave you? There we go, now we
can I've got it, Frankie, Okay, now we can go.
Welcome back to We're going to talk as long as
we can about thyroid issues. And I'll be asking the
question since I don't know anything about it, and they're
(14:48):
going to be answered by doctor Sapna Naik, Board certified
and chronologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal
Medicine at Mcgovernment Mcgovernment Medical School. Welcome doctor, Hello, thank
you so much for having me out. Oh I'm glad
we got this done. So I'm big on definitions. Let's
start with that. What exactly is the thyroid? Where is it?
What's it due?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
All right? Well, this is a topic I love because
the thyroid gland is a very important little gland that
a lot of us don't already know too much about.
But really it's a small gland that's located in the
front of the neck towards the base. And the reason
it's so important is because it makes thyroid hormone, which
is essentially a chemical that affects almost every part of
(15:30):
the body. Specifically. What these hormones do is they regulate
our metabolism, so they help us to control how the
body uses energy. So it affects things like ptrate, body temperature,
our weight, energy, so many things. You know, so many
different roles within the body.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I saw in the notes I got from from Mirror
that there it can be hyper thyroidism or hypothyroidism up
or down in what you got which is most.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Common, so hypotheridism, which is where the thyroid makes too
little hormone is typically more common than hypertheridism, where the
theroid is overactive while making too much hormone. For instance,
hypotheridism effects about five to fifteen percent of adults, whereas
hyper only effects about zero point five to about two
(16:21):
percent of the adult population.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Which one's worse.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
That's a great question, you know, and I don't know
that I have this trade for what answer for you
on that one, because you know, you can have a
patient affected by either of these, and sometimes it's difficult
to predict who will get which. Hypotheridism presents with its
unique set of symptoms, whereas hypertheridism is on the opposite
end of the spectrum. For instance, patients that are hypotherroids
(16:48):
might feel tired, maybe having some weight gain, feeling cold, constipated.
I like to think of it as a slowing down
of metabolism, whereas on the other end of the spectrum,
high birth diroy patients feel anxious, tremulous. You know, they
may be having unintentional weight loss, palpitation, trouble sleeping, so
in overdrive in metabolism.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I don't think I've ever had any unexpected weight loss.
I could use something Doctor seven and Nike on fifty
plus here what can we do to maintain a healthy thyroid?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That's you know, an excellent question, one that we get
asked a lot as anochronologist, and you know, really the
same advice we give to most of all patients, maintaining
a healthy lifestyle when it comes to you know, well
balanced diets, nutritious, avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol use. That's really
(17:41):
the same that goes with the diroid as well. There's
no you know, one particular diet that we recommend full
patients with diarid disease. So just maintaining your routine, healthy lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Let's talk a little bit about the treatment options that
are available from early detection to maybe somebody's late to
the party and they've got a real problem. What kind
of treatment options do they have.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Well, it's the great news about theory disease. It's been
around for a long time, and we have really good
treatment options for both hypo as well as hyperth arotism.
So for hypoth arotism, because the body is not making
enough boried hormone, the typical treatment is thyriied hormone replacement,
and most would have heard of medication called lethal thyroxine
or synthroid. What this is it is a tablet that's
(18:27):
taken once a day on an empty stomach, and it's
replacing what the body is not making enough off. It
usually is lifelong treatment, but most stations do tend to
feel a lot better once they've been started on it.
On the flip side, with hyperth aroytism, where there's too
much hormone on board, we have a couple of treatment
options available. Our first go to is usually going to
(18:49):
be antithyroid medication. Typical medication is something called methinosol, also
a tablet, and what it does is it reduces hormone production,
and then we've got a couple of other options. We
can also do radioactivity in treatment which destroys over active tissue,
and then the final would be surgery, which can remove
(19:10):
either pot or all of the thiroy gland.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
We don't want that at all, do we.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You know, yeah, most patients are hesitant to get that
surgery done. But you know, every treatment, every patient case
is different and a lot of consideration goes into each case,
and you know what's going to be the best option
for the patient aligning with what they ultimately want to
do you know when it comes to their treatment.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Right, doctor Sapan, and I thank you very much for
your time. So how often, really quickly, we're at the
end of our time. How often should we get checked
for this? And who does it?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, that's another great question because about sixty percent are
unaware that they even have a theory problem. But patients
that should think about seeing a theory doctor or their
primary care docs. Any type of third related diseases would
be those with just been fatigual weakness, any unexplained weight changes,
trouble sleepings, you know, developing new onset pulpitations, feeling really
(20:09):
hot or cold when others are around them, you know,
feeling normal. And also any new eye problems, bulging off
the eyes, new neck swelling or lumps in the neck.
Those are the ones that I would really encourage to
go forward and see they're a doctor.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm taking your advice and we've passed it along. Thank
you so very much, doctor.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
M By buddy, all right, we've got to take a
little break here. We want something that'll raise your blood
pressure up a little bit. Go to the fishing show
and try to figure out how you can buy everything
you want out of there. This has been going ongoing
since Wednesday, third day of the show, and it's going
to run right into the evening today and then all
day tomorrow, and well I think it start opens at
ten or so. In any event, if you have not been,
(20:50):
you you really owe it to yourself, if you call
yourself a fisherman, to go down there and just take
a look at all the all the information you can gather,
all the product you can gather. As I walked in
on Wednesday afternoon, there was a guy in front of
me who went to the door to go in, and
the woman there said, I'm sorry, you have to go
(21:10):
buy a ticket outside first. Well, I had a couple
of passes with me. So and as he walked away
toward me and passed me, I said, hang on a minute, man, here,
take this. He goes, what's that? I said, that's a
pass to get in? He goes, Really, I said, yeah,
follow me, and we both walked in there and he
asked me. He said, he fishes a little bit down
(21:31):
on the coast somewhere, but he really hasn't done a lot.
And he said, what should I do? What am I
looking for in here? I said, for you since you're
kind of new to it. Maybe if you if some
equipment catches your eye and it's in your budget, go
ahead and buy it. But the main thing you need
to do is talk to a bunch of these guides
in here. Talk to a bunch of the factory reps
(21:51):
who are there with lures and lines and all these
different things. I got into a twenty minute conversation on
fishing lines with an old friend of mine on Wednesday afternoon,
and I wasn't gonna walk away for a second because
he was giving me that much information. There's a seminar
going on all the way through till I think about
three or three thirty on Sunday when they're open. There's
(22:14):
a schedule at the website. That's where you really need
to go to see all that's going to be there
and maybe plan your trip to coincide with a seminar
you want to see. Go in, walk around a little while,
go hear the person you want to hear, and then
go back and walk the rest of the aisles. It's
gonna take you a while too. It's a big show.
Houston fishingshow dot com is the website Houston fishingshow dot com.
(22:37):
Medical Aesthetics by Angelica. You heard me talking to doctor
Ali earlier in the week. This is a place where
men can find lasting solutions to metabolic dysfunction, to hormone disruption,
sleep problems, all that women can go in and get
that same type of attention for those types of things.
Maybe a weight gain or weight loss program, maybe appearance.
(23:01):
Maybe either of you has energy and confidence issues. It'll
start with a simple blood test to determine the right
path for whoever's there might be peptides, might be hormones,
might be metabolic. And there are also some pardon me,
some procedures that can help you look better too, without
having to take medication. If you want to learn more,
(23:23):
call them and get an appointment and get a chance
to feel better, look better, and just overall be better.
Eight three to two nine three nine nine three three
zero eight three two nine three nine nine three three zero.
All right, welcome back to fifty plus. Thanks for listening.
Certainly do appreciate that. Into the news man the you know,
(23:44):
I hate to say it, but Democrats just keep ignoring
voters and delivering presents to Republicans with every time they
open their mouths. Latest to jump into the pool wearing
a concrete PFD as ilhan Omar, who said Wednesday that
not only does her already want to abolish ICE, they
also plan and are making those plans now, by the way,
(24:05):
in anticipation of a sweeping wind in November. They want
to dismantle the entire Department of Homeland Security. If that
were to happen, we would be without any Department of
Homeland Security, which is something we really really need right now.
(24:28):
The hypocrisy, it's just staggering. When Obama deported three million
illegal immigrants during his time as president, around sixty of
whom died, by the way, in ice custody, nobody protested
that same exact guy in charge too, Tom Homan, same
guy who's now in charge with President Trump, because he's
the right guy to get the job done. But when
(24:48):
Obama was given the orders, yeah, everything was just fine,
get them all out of here, because that's what our
president wanted. Now this president wants the same thing, and
the lefts gone perserk. Nobody protested them because the media
didn't tell them to custody, by the way, nobody pressed
(25:09):
ah Man, Obama, Hillary Bill, all of them, all of
them pushed for a tight border deportation of illegals, and
now they're nowhere to be found, by the way, not
going to come out and to say they're not going
to say a thing, because if they did, then whatever
they say is either going to be wrong because it
was just a flat out lie, or wrong because they
(25:30):
don't want to get called onto the carpet for doing
something that suddenly in under President Trump's rule, is against
the rules. He's Obama. What he's doing is just being quiet.
He's staying silent on all that now, and that's the
best move he could make. He's smart enough to keep
his mouth shut. If the media would actually cover this
(25:50):
stuff professionally and present both sides, including the history lessons
of what happened under Obama, a whole lot of Democrats
would realize they're being played and just becoming key figures
in an orchestrated attempt to destroy our country. Democrats, that
party doesn't exist anymore. It really doesn't, at least not
in a way that can be beneficial to the country.
(26:11):
It became the party that wants to start completely over,
no police, no private property. It's trying, with the help
and encouragement from the media and from a lot of
disillusioned people who think the Democrats are still somehow the
party of the people. They're not. They're not anything like that.
They're the party of power, and as long as they're
in power and they get what they want, they really
(26:34):
don't care what happens to you or me. I got
to that check that off. I want to go to
some other things. I had a little farther down the
line here, but are very interesting. From North Carolina, by
the way, this from Breitbart in one of that states
self declared sanctuary counties, an illegal migrant who was arrested
(26:56):
and accused of raping a child younger than fifteen, Well,
they released him from jail. This is Mecklenburg County, North Carolina,
and before he could turn around, he was re arrested
for failing to meet bond conditions and isis slapped another
detainer on him so he can't get cut loose again.
(27:18):
Thank goodness. He was arrested and accused of raping a
child younger than fifteen, and they let him out of jail.
Think about that. Fortunately for the citizens of Mecklenburg County.
This guy's behind bars again. I don't think he's gonna
(27:38):
get cut loose either, ah, man, an accused child rapist
turn loose. Somebody tell me how that makes Mecklenburg County
a safer place to live. It's not. It's just it's insanity,
absolute insanity. Boy, I've got too much of this and
I'm gonna do some fun stuff. Yeah, let's calm it
down a little bit, Frankie. Okay, we're gonna go three
(27:59):
headlines again. Oops my bad. Keep your hands off my nuts,
or say, ah, what was the first one? Oops my bad?
I'll do that one chicken. Thirty seven year old gay
in Florida got arrested after he tried to get revenge
on his ex by smashing up her car with a hammer.
Turned out, he smashed up the wrong, random white suv.
(28:22):
That's awesome. He just tore it to pieces with a
big old hammer. Uh. Somebody came out and said, dude,
what are you doing in my car? Is it? Oops?
My bad? I thought that was my girlfriend's car.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
A girlfriend? A wife x X something? Now how much
time do I have? You're right about there, man, Okay,
let's do it. We're there. Let me tell you on
the way out about one of the most comfortable things
you will ever PLoP your backside into, and that would
be the z Cliner sleep chair at Gallery Furniture. It
is adjustable to suit every body type, every comfort goal,
(28:58):
and it is it's several things at once, and you
can you can decide what you want to make it.
You can grab your pillow, maybe have a little glass
of warm milk and turn it into a bed. You
can make it a heated massage chair. If you've had
a really tough workout and you need to soothe those
achy muscles. It's a recliner. If there's a big game
coming on and you want to chill, maybe have a
(29:20):
coal one and watch the game. Mac found about out
about these these recliners after his heart surgery a while back,
and he fell in love with him and he sells
them every day. If you want whatever for the ultimate
soothing experience. Every z Cliner sleep chair, also, by the way,
has a powerlift option in case you need that to
(29:41):
pry you out of that chair. Maybe a family member
will come by and push the button after you've been
in it for several hours and just feel like you're
sinking into it and it's just so comfy and so relaxing.
Go get one any gallery Furniture location or online even
Zcliner sleep chairs from Gallery Furniture. Go check them out.
All right, Welcome back with the final segment of the
program starts right now. Thanks again to Frankie for hanging
(30:04):
out in here with me for the hour, keeping me
on the air like he does Saturday and Sunday morning.
You're gonna be right back in here, aren't you. You
and me both at one o'clock. It'd be twelve thirteen fourteen,
about seventeen hours from now, we'll be right back in
here knocking it around on kbmme so join us if
you don't mind. That'd be fun. I promise. It's really
light stuff too, really light hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, sailing,
(30:27):
backpack in, canoe and kayaking, birding. I don't think I
missed much. I was telling Frankie during the break that
I don't know what it is with my schedule or
who put together the schedule of when different events from
the Olympics were going to air, but I didn't get
to see live with the exception of the women's mono
(30:48):
bob semi finals or something like that, I didn't see
any ski jumping, which I love. I didn't see any
bob sled which I love, louge, which is just crazy,
and that skeleton thing too, that's even crazier. I didn't
get to see a bit of that stuff. I like
speed skating, so I watched a little bit of that.
(31:10):
But I was really disappointed about the bob sledding stuff
because I actually had a chance. I don't know if
I've told you this, Frank, It actually had a chance
to do a bob sled ride on the Salt Lake
City Course and it was a media trip up there,
and there were several options for what we could do,
and one of them was that, and I just said,
don't show me anymore. That's enough. We're going to do that.
(31:31):
And that was the most incredible minute, minute, a quarter
or whatever it was. I don't see how those people
do it. This guy who was driving us did a
great job. There were four of us in this thing,
the driver in three of us sitting back there holding
on for dear life. And it's remarkable how calm and
how settled that guy was in that bob sled and
(31:56):
how much we were getting banged around behind him because
we just didn't know how to anticipate any of it.
It just I saw Colin Jost actually got a ride.
Did you see that video yet?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
It would make a great drinking game. Every time he says,
oh my god, you have to take a drink, and
before they're halfway down, you're gonna be in an alcohol coma.
It's amazing. Yeah, it's it's worth going in watching that,
all right, instead of well, there was one thing I
did want to talk about, and then we'll lighten it
up to get to the tail end of the show today. Uh.
(32:28):
From the keep it Classy desk, back to politics a
little bit. Uh. By the way, that desk most often
occupied by Jasmine Crockett. Right here from Texas comes news
from Illinois that a candidate in the States Democrat primary
a woman named Lieutenant Well, she's Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton.
Look her up. She's running a campaign video now that
(32:52):
leads off with multiple people saying f Trump. I keep
thinking that there's got to be some line somewhere that
the left won't cross when it comes to preserving the
dignity and decorum of political campaigns and discussion. But going
there in a campaign for the US Senate tells voters.
(33:15):
I think that this woman has absolutely no respect for
the president, no respect for anyone who doesn't agree with
her party's policies, and no respect for the process at all.
There are others in that party who use the same
profanity against the president electorate officials. So they're just so
hateful against him that they can't think straight, and they
(33:36):
don't have the vocabulary to voice a legitimate challenge to
the good he's doing for this country. They can't articulate it,
so they just throw bombs. Democrat. Democrat party needs its
mouth washed out with soap. That's something everybody in my
generation can relate to. Did your mom ever wash your
mouth out with soap, Frankie.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
No, never did that. That was kind of phased out
by the time.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
You're lucky. You're lucky, man. His soap does not taste good.
I just not saying I got it many times, but
it didn't take many to clean me up. I don't
even remember what words I might have said. That was
so long ago and I was so little, but whatever,
it was once or twice, once or twice, and it
might have just been smart mouthing, you know, I might
have been sassing my mom or my dad that would
(34:23):
have elicited the same punishment. So maybe I didn't know
any bad words by them. In any event, moving on, Okay,
I'm gonna spare you. I'll just tell you about the
hand keep your hands off. Residents in Hollywood, Florida, reported
incidents recently of a man removing coconuts from their private residences.
(34:43):
One person who's missing them says, this is such a
you know, this is such a you hurt my feelings thing.
It's almost embarrassed. It just says one person doesn't identify
who he is or what he is. We feel disrespected
and violated. Oh, violated because somebody took a coconut out
of your yard after it fell out of the tree.
(35:05):
And maybe he's maybe who knows, Maybe he's one of
those guys who can skinny up a coconut tree and
five or six little leaves, got a got a big
knife in his back pocket, takes it out, hacks off
a chunk of coconuts and drops into the ground. I
don't know, but yeah, we feel disrespected and violated. Oh,
go buy a coconut at the store. Man, did it
(35:26):
drop in the other person's yard? Like, was it like
going over no, No, this guy's just coming into different yards,
yards and yards and yards, and he's just taking coconuts.
Maybe he's got a stand on the corner. I don't
know how about this this one I titled say ah,
I'll give you say awe, But who's counting or irony?
I like irony. Yeah, that's the shortest one, and so
(35:49):
I'm gonna award myself a bonus one after I do
this dump truck in New Jersey fell into the sinkhole
it was supposed to repair. Oh nice, Yeah, say I
do like this one. A dentist in Texas, Sherman, Texas
to be specific, was arrested for allegedly performing surgery while
(36:10):
intoxicated s UI surgery under the influence.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Maybe yeah, new one in a pediatric dental office, oh man,
and she a prize, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Working on a kid's mouth and smoking drunk enough so
that patients called the police. The police came. They gave
her a field sobriety test, which she failed, and after
which she was arrested. How much time do we have?
You got two minutes? I got a world of these things. Man. Oh,
(36:45):
I don't know that I did this yesterday or not.
I don't think I did. I'm gonna give you a
chance to guess the longest wedding veil? How long was
the longest wedding veil? And I'll give you a hint.
This was done not to be in somebody's wedding, but
just to earn a useless world record. Oh gosh, are
we like in multiple feet? Oh yeah? Okay? Oh yeah,
(37:07):
fifteen feet? Oh no, not even close. That's like under
by a bit. Oh we're under by more than a bit. Okay,
two hundred feet, you're under by a grand canyon. Still,
I don't want to use up all my time getting there. Yeah, somebody, somehow,
some way, for no legitimate reason, twenty three thousand feet
(37:30):
of veil. It's only to get a name in a book.
Is not something that any bride could walk down the aisle,
you know, unless she's walking to Sharptown Center from where
we are here in the galleria. That is crazy, is
it about? Right? And tripping over that too? You couldn't
move it, I don't. No matter how light that material is,
(37:53):
you're not moving four miles of it. Yeah, no way,
who cares? That's done this? I don't want that one.
There was one over here. I did like to try
and get us to the end. We're at one minute
or less less than a minute. Yeah, we're creeping up
on it. Maybe twenty thirty seconds. Perfect. Big. There was
a big lawsuit over whether boneless wings are any different
(38:13):
from chicken nuggets. In that lawsuit, a federal judge ruled
that buffalo wild wings can indeed continue to call them
boneless wings, despite them being in essence, just chicken nuggets.
That's all they are. We had some delicious food around
here today too, for a baby shower thing. Man, if
I could get that food every day, I might get pregnant.
(38:35):
We'll see you next week.
