Episode Transcript

(00:00):
How many fish in our stringer,how many points on our buck, how
many feathers in our bag. That'show we keep score around here. Sportsmen
and women of all skill levels,let's disconnect from the day to day grind
and stay connected to the outdoor activitiesthat you and your family love. This

(00:28):
is the Doug Fike Show, broughtto you by American Shooting Centers, Guns
Shooting at Instruction since nineteen eighty nine, and by taking Vegas dot Com or
twenty years helping sports investors make better, more informed decisions. Now here's Doug
Fike almost Now hold on, Igotta get my pan out. Yeah,

(00:51):
okay, this is a little better. I think. Came running in.
Well, I thought I had plentyof time left, and then by the
time I got back my desk,grabbed a cup of coffee and came back,
I heard the intro plane and sorryabout that. So here we go.
I want to get this done.I've got to say I've got to
bring up a couple of web pagesjust to have them ready, and then

(01:15):
we'll be ready to go. Thankyou for your patience. I did get
that email. I was telling Adamabout it from Mojo thanking Adam for playing
Bob Wills and even we even gotsuggestions. We got two of them right
for other Bob Will's songs. Whyis this? Where's this little mouse going?

(01:38):
Do you really? Oh boy,it's Mojo's lucky day? Then all
right? Seven one three two onetwo five seven ninety email and we dugpick
at iHeartMedia dot com. I gota couple of emails from people this week,
and pictures included, of course,which I always love, of some
fish they caught right before some ofthese thunderstorms came through wherever they were.

(02:00):
Now, I didn't get to fishright in front of those understorms because I
was sound asleep while trying to sleepat least as they passed most of the
time. But in other parts ofthe state where they went through in broad
daylight, a lot of people tookadvantage of that, and I'm kind of
going to lead with that this morning. I guess a little bit. The

(02:22):
fish feel the pressure, they knowthings are about to get wonky, and
because of that, they tend toput on the feedbag right before the bottom
falls out. And it's really funif you can be out there when that
happens. And I had a greatexperience on some private bass lakes north almost

(02:42):
due north of here, actually aboutoh gosh, many many years ago,
back when I was fairly young atthe newspaper and got an invitation to go
up there. And I think,dog it may or may not have come
up there with us that day.I don't recall their way. There was
this nasty thunderstorm approaching we were on. There were three fifty acre lakes involved

(03:07):
here, each of which had goodfishing. They were they were private stocked,
heavily stocked bass fishing lakes, hadgood quality fish in them. And
we were all out in our individuallittle aluminum boats, and you could see
this line of thunderstorms coming. Youknew the bottom was about to dump and

(03:31):
it was gonna get really squirrely andreally potentially dangerous. Then as it gets
a little closer, you can startseeing the lightning flashing with it. Then
you hear the rumbles in the distance, and this thing was marching across clear
sky. There was no question aboutwhat was about over what was going to

(03:52):
happen. It was gonna get reallybad, really fast. And I stayed,
and I stayed and wanted to seeif all of that was true.
And boy, the fish started toeat and it was getting and I was
I was throwing really big, thebig half ounce spinner baits and kind of
ripping them through some pads in somegrass, just really aggressive movement on those

(04:15):
baits, and these fish were justeating it up, two three five pounders,
a lot of them, almost everycast in one area they had gathered
up, they had hunkered down,but they were going to try to eat
something right before the weather got bad. And I stayed and I stayed,
and the wind started and the lightningstarted, and it was it was really

(04:38):
really scary, It really was.It was really really scary. And then
I finally left because I caught oneof the two bass I've ever been absolutely
certain. I haven't. I haven'ttaken a big bass all the way back
to the dock to weigh it becauseI don't want to take that bass out
of its own environment. And that'smaybe something we could talk about a little

(04:58):
bit later as far as tournament fishinggoes. But I caught one that I
know without doubt was at least tenpounds. Was it twelve or thirteen?
Probably not, probably not, butwas it heavier than ten? Absolutely certainty
of that, And with that one, and with a lightning bolt hitting a

(05:23):
pine tree not a quarter mile fromme, I said it is time to
go in. I fired up thetroll and motor and zipped on back to
dry ground. And and at thatpoint, by just about as I hit
dry ground, the rain started andthe wind was already there. I've been
dealing with fifteen to twenty mile inour wind for ten minutes. At that

(05:46):
point it was it was very clearthat I had overstayed my welcome on Mother
Nature's pond that day. It's it'sa great time to be on the water.
You're gonna catch a lot of fish. I've had similar experiences in the
bay. I got caught out inone in West Bay, and I've talked
about it on the show before.And I'm halfway down the bay and I

(06:06):
launched at the causeway and I'm inseventeen feet of aluminum boat all by myself.
And the ride back and I'm deadinto the wind going back, and
the ride back was really really sporty, but I made it. Took two
guys to come out and help mewhen I got back to the dock,
to just hold that little boat againstthe dock until I could tie it off

(06:28):
and get out of there. Itwas pretty nasty fine line though, between
a brilliant time to be on thefish when they're really really biting like that,
and then that half of that nanosecondlater when there's lightning and cracking all
around you and you pretty much crossedover to where there's a better chance you'll
die than catch another fish. Itbrings up. It makes me think of

(06:54):
Kenny Rogers. You got to knowwhen to hold them, which is your
fishing rods, and then you you'vegot to also know when to fold up
everything you've got, tuck it intoa tuck it in somewhere, button it
down, batting it down, andhaul you know what back to safety.
It's okay too most die hard fishermen, most die hard fishermen are dumb enough

(07:16):
to have been caught in some thunderstorms. My hands in the air, it
would have to be. That's justthose two cases were examples. That wasn't
the entire library of my stupidity inthe name of better fishing, of really
good fishing. But I'm also smartenough, as most of us are as

(07:36):
well, to bail out before theboat goes down. You've got to get
back to someplace safe. And partof that also means knowing that you may
not be able to go back towhere you started. You can't always just
run home trying to beat something likethat, trying to avoid a really nasty,

(08:01):
bad experience, you may have tojust run that boat up onto dry
ground and go sit behind a treeuntil it all passes by. I know
some guys who have done that too, a lot of people, and it's
you know, it's mostly young people. It's mostly people Adam's age who haven't
yet had that experience. The samething comes to mind when I think of

(08:24):
hydroplaning on the freeway, if youhaven't yet experienced hydroplaning, where you are
and once in this second in totalcontrol of your car, I mean,
you're just going along as fast asyou want to go, because, by
guys, you know how to drivea car. And then in the next
second, all four wheels have hitthe water just right, some pooling ponding

(08:50):
thing on the freeway perhaps, ora huge gust of wind, which is
what changed my mind and got mespinning on I ten one day. A
huge gust of wind comes along andyour vehicle just lifts up a little.
You can feel this this little babylift where it loses contact with all four

(09:11):
wheels to the ground. And thenno matter what you do to the steering
wheel, no matter what, nomatter what you do with your brakes,
with your accelerator, any of that, you might as well just you might
as well just cross your legs andsit crisscross apple sauce and put your hands
behind your neck and just let thecar do what it's gonna do, because

(09:31):
it's gonna do that anyway it's happenedto me, is happening a friend of
mine, and you tend to soberup them, straighten up a little bit
once that happens to you, ifyou live through it. Some scary stuff
that can happen to you outdoors,and most of the scares you'll get like
that are they're good scares if yousurvive them. They're they're great scares because

(09:54):
they let you know that there's thislittle little time out there on the water
when everything lines up and it's perfect, and it's beautiful and it's magical and
you're catching a giant fish on everycast. But you also learn that that
there's a price to pay for thatif you don't, if you don't,
if you do overstay, you're welcome. If you overstay, you're welcome.

(10:18):
You're in deep stuff, deep stuff, and it can get a whole lot
worse, and it has for actually, for some people I've known, I
used to know. That's a hintabout what happened to them about staying out
too long. You just make onelittle mistake, make one little mistake out
there, especially on the water.If you're walking around the woods, you

(10:39):
get lost. You have to spendthe night in cold, rainy weather.
You're probably gonna make it through andhopefully somebody will find you the next morning,
or you'll figure out where you are. But on the water, you
don't want to do that. Youjust don't want to do it. I
have never had to, No,I still go outdoors a lot. I
want to make sure I don't jinxmyself. I've never had to spend an

(11:03):
entire night out away from wherever whatwherever base camp was. I've never had
to just rough it. I don'tknow. And at my age now,
I think thirty years ago, Iwould have been a good contestant on Survivor.
I would have been no, notthat one neaked and afraid. I
could have done that. I couldhave done it, and I could have

(11:26):
probably caught something to eat, butI just I don't want to have to
go through that, and neither shouldyou. There are I know there's guys
in this audience. I know alot of them, and I can think
of a few guys who are olderthan forty who would be very very good
candidates for that. They still spendthat much time outdoors, They still still

(11:48):
are that in tune with the outdoors. I can I remember a lot of
things that I did as a youngerperson to make myself comfortable in the outdoors,
but I don't know if I couldpull them off anymore. I did
have to make a shelter once toget out of some stuff, but I
didn't have to stay overnight. Iwas just trying to keep myself out of
some wind and rain and a makeshifta little deal. It didn't I knew

(12:09):
it wasn't gonna have to last long, so I just piled a bunch of
stuff up and curled up behind itand got up myself out of the worst
of the weather. Seven one three, two, one two five seven.
I email me Dougpike, and iHeartMediadot Com. I'm gonna go talk to
Alan before we go to the break, and I'm gonna hope you don't get
mad at me. Hey, Alan, what's up? Man? Hellen?

(12:33):
Oh is it all good? Oh? Here you are. Yeah, we're
here. I didn't hear you.Yeah. Well, I'm not gonna tell
you whose fault that was. Buthe knows. That's okay. I told
him. I told well, atleast somebody is that weren't making money this
morning. We're trying well and we'reat work anyway. Yeah, that's true,

(12:56):
sou Yeah, you know, realreal quick. Two things need to
ask you. Yeah, me andmy me and my dad were in the
back of a big pasture by onEast Bay one time, and we saw
the storm out in the gulf,and we we were planning on jumping up
and running back to u uh theMarino and my rollover pass there and uh.

(13:22):
But then again we were catching fish, you know, not as well.
We were minds were focused on catchingfishing. I said, yeah,
I looked up, I said,My dad says, too late. So
we we pulled up anchor and thenwe ran the boat up on the salt
grass, and I mean we laidthere. We literally laid it in the

(13:46):
boat for about an hour because thelightning was so so horrific and uh,
and we wrote, I mean itwas a henckless storm, you know past
what's that? That's an attention getterto tell you what I was. I
was like, well, we're inthe final glass boat. Um, we

(14:07):
should be okay if we stay layingflattered flatter in our belly. Gosh.
But the funny thing was is afterthe storm passed, we pulled ourselves back
out of that grass and the fishingwas phenomenal for flounder. Wow. I
mean I bet we called. Ibet we sit there and called fifty flounder.

(14:30):
Holy god. We didn't keep thelaw short, but we you know,
we called definitely a limited flounder.It was crazy. You were rewarded
for your bravery. I think ithad to stir something up. I mean,
it's crazy so real quick. Uh, if you're what do you besides
like, if you're surf fishing,you use what kind of rod? What
what's your length to rod? Fishing? For casting way out there and seeing

(14:54):
what eats? Just trout and troutfishing the surf. I just mostly I
just use six and a half sevenfoot rods. I don't go to anything
longer, and I know there's thisgiant there's just trend. Especially if you
look at the bass fisherm on TVright now, it looks like they're they're
throwing eight and nine foot rods andI I haven't. It makes no sense.

(15:16):
It doesn't to me, and Idon't feel like I have any disadvantage
throwing what I'm throwing. If youhave the right rod match to the lures
that you're throwing, and you're theright reel and it's well maintained, you're
gonna get all you need as aas a very good, very skilled amateur,

(15:37):
you're gonna get all the performance youneed out of that. You don't.
You don't have to change out yourentire quiver just because the rod makers
start making them longer. Oh yeah, you know, what's your not?
Uh, they're just very you know. Yeah, it depends on what I'm
doing. I know how to tiea couple of loop knots, and I
can't remember their names honestly, Tobe honest, I just know how to

(16:00):
time time in the dark time withmy eyes closed, but I don't know
what name they are. I'll tiea lot of all right now, the
same knots since I've been five minutes, you know, and I'd like to
change, but I'm like, well, this is this is all I know,
and it's been a work sure orwatch yeah, if it's not slipping,
don't change it. I got agood friend of mine years ago.
We did a lot of writing atthe same magazines a few times for several

(16:22):
years. Actually got named Bob McNally. Wrote a great book on fishing knots.
And there must be a hundred knotsin that book. And I'll be
darned if I can force myself tothrow away the knots. I know how
to tie, and the knots Idon't know how to just to learn new
knots. Just to say I knowhow to time. I can spice lines,
I can do Bemini twists, Ican do I use surgeons loops to

(16:47):
attach braid to floora carbon or mono. Okay, so that's what that's what
you use for. I was justabout to ask that what's yours called a
surgeons knots surgeons loopy you have inyour left hand. Boys, is gonna
take a minute, but I'll getYeah. Well you in your left hand,
you got one. Your right handyou got the other. And you

(17:11):
can't have a lure or anything onthe end of that that leader material.
But you just you just do overhandthree overhand loops. That's it. Just
pull one end through the other.Not if you've got four feet a leader,
you got to pull all four feetthrough there with that little tag end
of your braid. And then youdo that again, and you do it
one more time. Then you wetit and sent it. And I've never
had that not fail. Never secondsto tie here, maybe ten seconds to

(17:37):
tie it. And I've had issuestry to figure out what and how to
put you together. But that's okay, that'll work. Let's figure that all
right. Take a break, Yeah, thanks Ellen, see, but away
all right, I gotta take abreak. I really do where I'm gonna
get in big trouble down him.American Shooting Centers is a fantastic place to
go shooting. It's going to bea beautiful day to go out there if
you want to do that too.They have three three sporting clays courses.

(18:03):
I'm trying to it's almost like it'salmost like the twelve Days of Christmas.
They've got three sporting clays courses aboutten trap and skeet fields. They've got
five ten setups all over the property, which is the largest non military shooting
facility in the whole country. They'vegot a beginner's clay target area, They've
got rifle and pistol from five yardsall the way to six hundred yards,

(18:26):
on and on and on, allthe things they had there to do and
just enjoy the shooting sports safely.By the way, they're arranged officers everywhere.
Most anywhere you are on the property, somebody's got eyes on you making
sure that you're being as safe aseverybody else. And if they ever come
to you and say, hey,we would appreciate it if you didn't do
this, just say I'm sorry,I won't do it again, and don't

(18:48):
do it again. They're there tomake sure that everybody has a great,
safe, fun shooting experience. That'swhat ed Origie wanted when he bought that
property. Gosh, I don't rememberhow many years ago he look over American
Shooting Centers, but he has turnedit into the premier in this region,

(20:18):
even more different than that. Letme find where this little cursory is on
this mouse and I can probably getRick bis. What the heck, man,
is this thing turned off or something? Hold on? You got it?
Yeah? Thank you? Hey?Rick? What's up man? Good
morning? Morning? Hey. Iwant to just take a second. I'll
trick you up an email, alink this morning. One thing a quick

(20:42):
second and just kind of be apublic service message of starts. As a
real estate broker, I'm always concernedabout how buyer sellers owners properties are being
affected in a negative way, right, whether you whether it's you on the
joining property or the property, andwhat maybe you can do it can't do

(21:07):
about things I can not an attorneycamp gives and want legal advice. But
there is this really good website onwindmills and solar farms, and solar farms
are around here. We may nothave to win too much, but we're
getting these these solar farms everywhere.I can't sell because they don't stand up
above tst right, but because they'rereally great article. If anybody wants that,

(21:33):
they can call me or you orhow are you send that out?
But it's very informative information on there. It's from Texas A and M Real
State Research Center AD Real Life Divideand I do have the exact website.
If if anybody cares to know whatto do, how long is it?
Can they remember it? A website? Can? Well? I've read it,

(21:57):
sir. No, I'm here aboutthe website, Joe. It's it's
real quick a g R. Ilike agrew life l I f E learn
eli A r N dot tam Ot A m up dot edu. There

(22:18):
you go. Perfect, that's ohme, and I can got him a
little bit himself. How many howmany solar farms are you tripping over when
you drive around on typical Saturday morning? Saturday morning? Well, North,
I can't say I'll see him everyday out there, sure, but I'm
getting example one example with example.Yeah, this task week, I'm looking

(22:41):
at this about one hundred and sixtyacres. These people may want to sail,
and I may want to help himdo it. But I've got the
landowner with me, and we're drivinga round a little restaurant. We come
up to this fence. We're lookingover the next property, which is about
twelve hundred acres, and there's allthese surveys sticks out there to build one

(23:03):
big little barn. I said,man, that ain't no barn. That's
that thing is, you know,one hundred and fifty yards wide and three
year. That's a solar form.So you know the big question is if
that neighbor puts that big solar formover right here to your back porch,
so to speak, how's it goingto affect the value of your property?

(23:25):
As far as the value, that'smy concern. Yeah. So it's just
it's just something that buyers and sellersneed to be aware of. And you
know, it's just a really goodarticle. If you want to learn a
little bit more about it, that'sthat's some that's some place to go.
Check it out. Perfect. Thankyou, Rick. I don't appreciate it.
Yeah, man, that's great stuff. Thank you. All right.

(23:45):
Man. Yeah, if you've listenedto this program long enough, if you
know, I'm not a big fanof solar farms or windmills or anything that
enables this administration to continue shoveling mandatesfor electric cars and the elimination of gas

(24:08):
stoves and gas heaters. Like Isaid yesterday, it was either yesterday or
maybe Friday on fifty plus, I'venever I've always seen ads this time of
year for generators that use gas topower the generator that lights your home in
the event the electricity goes out.I've never even heard of a generator that

(24:33):
uses electricity to cook your food ifthe gas line goes out. Because the
gas line's not going out, it'sif the gas is out, there's some
major catastrophe somewhere. If the electricity'sout. It just means a couple of
tree limbs hit a power line,or the wind blew too hard, or

(24:56):
lightning hit a transformer. It doesn'ttake much for us. Or it got
to twelve degrees last night and thegrid just couldn't handle the load. I
kind of like having gas. Oh, he's allowing me to break already.
I spoiled you yesterday by hitting almostevery break on time, didn't I.

(25:18):
Well, I think that's gonna bea habit. But you've done today.
We thought it was wrong. Youthought wrong. If you think that's gonna
be a habit, Dave, hangon, I'll come back to you in
just a minute. Okay. TimberCreek Golf Club FM twenty three fifty one
down there and friends would about threefour miles tops. Maybe I think off
the golf freeway west of the golffreeway twenty seven holes. As I've said

(25:41):
so many times, said, Idon't know, probably two hundred and seventy
times. I've played all those holesat least twenty seven times. I would
be willing to bet that, andlove the whole thing. Love all three
nines, enjoyable place to go play, great people, all they're friendly the
courses for which I speak, I'mdoing that because I know them. I

(26:04):
know the people. I know theeverybody from the GM down to somebody who's
wiping dirt off the clubs at theend in a lot of cases, and
they're they're good folks. At timberCreek. I know. I start with
the GM because that's who runs theshow at all these places. And I
wouldn't be talking about timber Creek ifI didn't believe in it. It's as

(26:25):
much as I do. Great staff, great teaching facility next door Timber Creek
Golf Club Academy run by a guynamed David Pilsner. He and his staff
can help you fix your game.And if you don't care about your game

strokes, fun, that's fun too. Everybody's welcome out there as long as
you're civil. Send a good friendfrom here down there the other day and
he played Thursday, I think itwas, and had an absolute blast.
Show business is his name. Greatguy and a surprising guy. You meet
him and shake his hand, youwould never realize that this guy is about

(27:14):
a four handicap. He can golfhis ball And he came back ranting and
raving about timber Creek. Timber CreekGolf Club dot COM's website timber Creek Golf
Club dot com. Seven ninety.This is Sports Talk seven ninety, Houston,
sports online at sports seven ninety dotcom. Back back to the Doug
Fight Show, Working on the railroads, leaving on the ground, beat salt,

(27:48):
clean trackers, found big balls anddown down Big Balls and Conte thirty
five on Sports Talk seven ninety TheDug Pike Show. If that doesn't wake
up nothing? Well huh? Andyou could wear the leather off a pair
of boot soles dancing around the floorto that Holy cow you I used to

(28:11):
do all that. It's amazing whenI think back at some of the things
I've done in my life and howoften I got to do them. Everything
from I was here for the countryWestern phase, I was here for the
disco phase. I didn't go backas far. I was only a little

(28:33):
kid in the early sixties, soI don't remember the greased back hair and
all that stuff, but yeah,the disco stuff for sure, and then
that country western thing. And thenI distinctly remember the era the year or
two I can't remember which one itwas, though, in which it became

(28:53):
okay to wear blue jeans into nightclubswith the designer jeans and all that stuff.
Very uncomfortable too, and just ridiculouslynot comfortable pants. Wow, that's
frightening sound. That's this is thekeyboard here that every time I do that?

(29:18):
Can you hear that? Adam?Yes, sir, if you do
it just right, and I wouldhave to take this entire thing into the
woods with me. But if youscrape the little rubber feet on the props
for the keyboard to lift it upon this linoleum that's not linoleum. I
don't know what this is. Linoleianwent out with the hula hoop, but

(29:38):
it's actually making a comeback I've heard, which is kind of crazy. Anyway,
It sounds kind of like a turkeycall. If you do it just
right. What's up, Dave,dude? That's what I was just gonna
say. That sounded like, doesn'tit. No, I'm not. I
can't make it. Hey, andthat's what I was going to talk to
you about when you were talking theother day. Yeah, on your listening
skills. That does sound like it. When you're listening skills, I mean,

(30:03):
you know, and I'm as guiltyas anybody. Man, I get
so excited listen. I get sowatch out to pay sound like something else?
Oh lord, anyway, Hey,but listen, Uh, you're listening
skills. The thing is that,you know, I get so excited and
I just want to jump in.But I'm thinking, you know, I'm

(30:26):
trying to teach myself to kind ofeither take a pin or a piece of
paper and make some notes and waitfor my turn, you know, get
either and tell what happened to me. You're the best way. I think.
I just thought of some way forus to for us as outdoors people,
to relate to how we should listento other people. What we should
do is listen to other people withthe same level of attention we give to

(30:48):
listening while we're sitting all by ourselvesin a deer stand on opening morning.
I'll see that. Bam. Ohyes, sir, yes, sir,
you know there you go here,you go, hey, and all that
Bob Wells and all that stuff.Real quick on that. You know,
my hants and uncles and all ofthem, they hung with them and Harbor
Immington and all them. And I'vegot to hand with guys asleep at the

(31:11):
wheel. But that's like you alwaystell me, Dave, act like you've
been there, and you too,You've been You've been with all these big
fishing guys and everything else. Andthat's some of the coolest things and the
nicest things has ever happened to me, and you too. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying. Getting outthere and the calmaraderie and the I remember

(31:32):
whenever you say, remember back inthe day when you uh frog each other
on the arm, you can troubleit. But you can trouble about that
now. Oh lord, Yeah,you'd be arrested for assault. But they
that's the way we did it.Yeah. May I appreciate y'all that things,
and thanks a lot, and Iappreciate y'all absolutely. Man. We'll
see you later. Audios. Letme go here. Let's go talk to

(31:56):
Greg for a minute. What's up? Greg got some inflammation that I don't
think anybody's really talking about about thesewind farms and these uh yeah, well
not even the solder, just thewinding. Yeah. I've been hunting up
in uh Kansas do some pheasant huntingup there, just north of Many,

(32:16):
Many, Minneola. And the guysup there have started talking. In the
last couple of years. If youget up there, there's just wind farms
everywhere, I mean just as faras the eye can see them, stupid
flashing lights and things. Um,they've got some friends and got some property
and they've had it for generations,and they're about six miles away from the

(32:38):
closest wind meal and they in thelast couple of years they've they've started getting
rattlesnakes. Wow, the vibration putoff by those wind turbans are driving the
animals away. And everybody goes,hey, they put these things down the
gulf, it's gonna be like anotheroil rig out there. Well no,

(33:00):
maybe not. Maybe it's gonna allthat vibration is just gonna be sitting there
driving all the animals away from it. It's possibility. And the other thing
is one other thing is those thoselittle uh the generators on there, they've
all got a back, they've allgot a backup generator. You that a
little house down half the bottom,right, and those things leak like a

(33:21):
sip. They say, there there'smore oil around those windmills than people realize.
I've heard that many times I have. Yeah, that's it's interesting you
brought that up because and it's frustratingbecause nobody's gonna write about it. Nobody's
gonna report about it because they itdoesn't suit the narrative of how important these
things are to our future. Firstof all, why in the world are

(33:43):
we building these blades that cannot evenbe recycled. They have to bury them.
That's ridiculous. Amen. Yes,it takes more energy to run the
bulldozer to bury the blades. Andwhat the generator, what the wind turban's
gonna generate? It's frustrating it Really, the future is hydrogen. Hydrogen sales.
Man. I've been saying that.I've been saying that for three years.

(34:06):
Man, and I keep reading stories. Almost every week there's a story
about somebody tightening up the hydrogen engine, tightening it up. It runs just
like an internal combustion engine, exceptthe byproduct isn't horrible, nasty smelling fumes.
The byproduct is water for heaven,say water? You know we could
use a little more of that too. You and I are thinking a lot

(34:30):
of people, and these people inthe fancy granted houses up there with the
big domes on the top, youknow, they're they're all worried about things
beside the environment. Well, it'sall it's got to fit their narratives.
It does all right, man,Thanks Greg, I have a great man
audios. Yeah. I get sofrustrated by the whole wind farm, solar

(34:52):
farm, all that stuff, thefarming of electricity when there's a company a
ross where was it, I can'tremember, somewhere about halfway around the world.
I get these stories because I don'tjust leave myself tied to our borders
thinking that we're going to be thesalvation of the world. I'm looking at

(35:15):
what's going on around the world,and there's so much fascinating stuff being developed
that it's it's just mind boggling thatwe can't hear about it on our own
news. I don't want to getcaught up in this, but holy cow,
there's a little site I use fortidbits for fifty plus called the Good
News Network, and it's just sucha simple site, and it does give

(35:40):
you. You start reading in there, and they've got stuff. They've got
science news, they've got outer spacenews, all these different things speaking up.
I'll talk about something about that ina minute if I get to it.
But anyway, it's it's just afascinating place to go to realize that
there's great research and development of alternativefuel options going on around the world,

(36:07):
and it seems like the better theyare, the more efficient they are,
and especially the more hydrogen based theyare, the less you hear about them
anywhere else, anywhere else. AllRight, I gotta stop, I gotta
make a move here, and I'mgonna make a move to the boatyard then
on five eighteen and Kima very easyto find. You'll see the boats lined

(36:28):
up across the front, just likea big parade of boats, only they're
not moving. They will accept yourboat if you want to put it out
there and try to sell it.And they also have boats from some very
good manufacturers that they represent down thereat the boatyard. They build these little
case gifts right there on site ifyou'd like one of those. They're fantastic

(36:49):
for shallow water application. And thecool part about them is because they're being
built on site and kind of ondemand. Even you can fit yours out
the way you want it. Youcan have it trick out to be just
yours, as unique as your ownfingerprints. Tohatsu outboards up to two hundred
and fifty horsepower. If you don'tknow Tohatsu, look it up and see

(37:09):
it's a it's a worldwide brand that'scoming into North America and doing quite well
because it's a very reliable brand.Also trolling motors, accessories, sonars,
electron all the different electronics. It'sall there at the boatyard, anything and
everything that could make your boat better, or if you need a whole boat,

(37:30):
they'll sell you one of those orhelp you sell yours. Eagles Boatyard

(37:51):
Well as it's around and it's oneat all that has had a shot
of God. Well, it's gotall of his fat. Well, you
can't lake a record if you ain'tgot nothing to say. Eight forty nine

(38:15):
on Sports Talk seven ninety the DougPike Show. Thanks for listening that dumb
not chopin. I presume no,that's shotgun Willie never. I didn't play
any Willie Nelson yesterday, but yesterdayninety radioh old man my father in law
ninety eight and takes no prescription medications. And for as long as I've known

(38:40):
the man, which is thirty somethingyears, has not taken any prescription meds.
That's just I can't even imagine beingthat well for that long. I
really can't. I've been better.I've had many fewer sinus issues and affections
since COVID, and probably because everybody'swashing their hands better and more frequently than

(39:06):
ever, which they should have beendoing. If we'd have done that,
I n t S wouldn't have anythingto do. I came across the story,
actually I got it sent to meabout what's going on with a I'm
not sure whether there's a bill inplace or whether somebody in Congress is trying

(39:27):
to trying to move something. Idon't know, but the bottom line is
our sitting president is taking kind ofanother shot at hunting and fishing. By
if you were calling under President Trump, there were I don't know, I
think several million acres more of land. Here's the story there, let me

(39:50):
go get it, pop it uphere, just real quick. Millions of
acres of land were added to theroles of where you and I I could
go hunt on public federal land.And what's going on now is that there's
a move of foot the Biden administrationgetting fire for proposals that probably would make

(40:17):
it so expensive and so prohibitively uncomfortablydifficult to participate in that on these lands
that we just won't go. We'lljust quit. What they're trying to do
is regulate us out of hunting andfishing. Basically. There's a quote from

(40:38):
a guy named Todd Atkins. He'sthe vice president of government affairs at these
Sportsman's Alliance. He said, andI quote, raising the cost of hunting,
raising the cost of fishing, andraising the cost of our crowd doing
their thing is objective number one,without a doubt, because they know if
you make it more expensive, lesspeople will do it. End quote.

(41:01):
Of course, fewer people will huntand fish if it costs more. If
gasoline costs ten dollars a gallon,if a box of shotgun shells cost fifty
bucks. A lot of people wouldgive it up. If a Roden reel
cost a thousand dollars. If liveshrimp, well, live shrimp are already

(41:24):
I don't know. If you makelive shrimpi enough to some people won't buy
them. What if they were onehundred dollars a dozen. It's just all
they're trying to do is whilet whipus out of doing what we like to
do, and it's unnecessary. Itmakes no sense. Hunters and fishermen are

(41:45):
the greatest they're the greatest watchdogs wehave for the overall game populations on our
federal lens. You put a bunchof deer hunters on a federal property,
and if all of them come backwith deer, you know there's a healthy

(42:06):
herd there. If none of themcomes back with a deer, you know
you may have a problem out there, and you better go look at it.
But what they're trying to do.What they're trying to do is ban
lad ammunition. What they're trying todo is ban certain phishing gear lead sinkers,
for example. And the sportsmen's groupskeep asking the administration to show them

(42:30):
evidence that these things are causing problemsright now. This is some of that
silliness. But yeah, it couldhappen. They tell you it could happen.
So they're going to ban you fromgoing in there and doing what you
love to do the way you liketo do it because of something that's never

(42:52):
happened, but it might happen.Well, you know what, electric cars
might ruin. This might ruin thiswhole country. But they're not going to
stop pushing those on us. Itjust it's I really hate to go down
this road on this show. Ido. I don't like that. But

(43:14):
for him to sit up there withabsolutely no connection to nature whatsoever, I
don't believe that man knows much ofanything about the outdoors. He just doesn't
strike me as that kind of guy. Now, if it turns out he
was an eagle scout and he earnedall his merit badges and he's been a
lifelong fly fisherman and goose hunter anddeer hunter, I'll be shocked and surprised.

(43:37):
But I'll say, wow, Ipegged you wrong, sir. But
I got a hunch that he's he'sjust regurgitating what somebody else told him to
say and trying to make a verysmall group of people happy at the expense
of the rest of us. Fortunately, there are enough outdoors enthusiasts in Congress.

(44:00):
They actually have a group of themin an organized group that goes on
organized trips just for that purpose,outdoor stuff. And if they can be
heard, then maybe none of thismess will happen. But man, if
it does that there was I sawa related story on there and there was

(44:22):
a quote from some climate activist.I can't remember her name, but in
a nutshell i'll paraphrase it says shesaid, our whole purpose is to make
your life harder. Our whole purposeis to make your life harder. And
that's exactly what they're doing. It'sexactly what they're trying to do anyway,

(44:45):
and we have to recognize that they'renot trying to save the planet. They're
trying to make my life harder,and I don't appreciate that. I'll climb
down from this soapbox. When wecome back. I'm gonna talk a little
bit about the tournament down in Mexico. We'll talk. I think we're gonna
I'm gonna try to get Chris Dornanon the phone again and see if we

(45:06):
can talk a little bit more aboutthe inspirity and what's been going on up
there, and we'll find our wayto the end. More of the Doug
Pike show coming up. On theway out, I will tell you all
about Belleville and Meat Market where theyhave now on display on top of the
counter. This is the part withthe toothpicks, and you grab for your
wallet. At the same time.You can try the green onion pecan smoke

(45:29):
sausage or the three cheeses pecan smokesausage. Be right there on the countertop.
Stab a piece with a toothpick,reach for your wallet. By the
time this stuff hits your taste buds, you should go ahead and have your
wallet out because you're gonna want tobuy however much you can handle, however
much your car will carry along witheverything else you're gonna take back. The

(45:51):
best way to experience Bellville Meat Marketis to go to the website. This
is a family affair. You goto the website together, you scroll through
all the different like I say,have you make a list of what you
want to bring home from Belleville MeatMarket. Then you take the nice leisurely
drive out there. It's about frommy house it'd probably take an hour.
In fifteen minutes, not horrible,and I'll work up an appetite on the

(46:15):
way there. So I go there, I drop off my order at the
top of the counter, said,hey, would you guys box all this
stuff up for me while my familyeats lunch. You go about seven steps
to your left from where you justdropped off that note, and you get
you well, you get lunch oryou get in line to get lunch,
depending on when you get there,and you sit out on the patio and

(46:36):
eat a delicious barbecue lunch. BellevilleMeat Market has two dozen plus flavors of
that sausage, beef, chicken,and port cut the way you want.
They also have right now fresh groundbeef well as always three fifty nine pound
and you buy ten pounds. Thecenter cut porch chops are on sale for
two ninety nine a pound, andthose fresh friars always a buck ninety nine

(46:57):
a pound. Wild game processing yearround, don't forget that either. Belleville

(47:51):
O Sports Talk seven ninety The DougPike Show. Thank you for listening.
I certainly do appreciate it. Talka little golf. I'll get off of
all that other horrible, wretched,ridiculous stuff. It's just so frustrating.
I got an email from hold on, let me go back and make sure
I get it right. Mark,who moved over to Georgia a few years

(48:12):
but still listens to the program.He and I kindred spirits in our concurrent
like and dislike of technology, andit dawned on me. I was laughing
when I started the show about howthis mouse wasn't working and I couldn't figure
out something to do with technology.And we all sensed that sometimes, but

(48:36):
most of the time the problem issomething to do with electricity, ie the
TV remote. Oh, it's notworking. What's wrong? So you tap
it a few times, and youopen the battery container part and you wiggle
the batteries a little bit, andit'll kind of work for another day or
two, and then it fizzles out, and ultimately it's an electricity problem.

(48:58):
Everything that we rely on heavily,accept our cars. Right now, most
of us relies on electricity to work. And with the thought hanging over my
shoulder of magnetic pulses which don't destroyanything but everything that runs on electricity,

(49:22):
it's a scary thought, it reallyis. I just I don't want to
be I don't want to be onthe receiving end of something that knocks all
the electricity out in our country atsome point, or even in a significant
chunk of our country. Without electronics, we have no communication, we have
no defense, we have nothing rightnow, though we got plenty, we

(49:45):
got plenty of sunshine. Adam hasbeen so kind for the last couple of
weeks to come in here before Iget started and put up a screenshot of
downtown Well, not screenshot, theseare videos downtown Houston which say that's not
my favorite, I gotta tell you, Adam. The one I like the
most, though, is the snapshotof the Gulf of Mexico overlooking just as

(50:07):
a landmark, the what does thatcall the pleasure Pier? I think so,
yeah, that's it used to be. Oh, I can't even remember
the name of the old hotel itwas out there now it's been so long,
Holy Cow, And if I could, if I had more time,
I don't want to waste time onit. But the Gulf of Mexico this
morning looks absolutely drop dead gorgeous.There are no waves, the color is

(50:31):
and I don't believe this is filtered. It's a nice deep The water is
probably a good solid green, andmaybe even a little bit better. I
don't think the sun angle could haveso much to do with that water to
make it look that blue, butI'm cautiously optimistic that it would be amply

(50:52):
clear to support some speckled trout.If you think, you put your thinking
caps on and maybe go fish latersomeplace where there would be some sort of
structure in the water that would absorbheat and be two or three degrees possibly
warmer than most of the water.There's gonna be some trout caudle on that

(51:13):
beach front. If they haven't alreadybeen, there will be soon. It's
time. It's time, and thewater's warming up, and we're gonna get
a nice little warming trend here forthe next several days. A lot of
sunshine it's gonna be great. Rememberyesterday, I'm gonna move on. Remember
yesterday when we talked about that swarmof bees down there at the tournament in

(51:34):
Mexico. Let me get the leaderboardup. I'll tell you about that first,
and then I want to go backto the bees. Hold on,
where's my mouse? Where did itgo there? This? Okay, Tony
Fenell did nothing short of established justwho exactly he is. Went out yesterday
and left himself at the end ofthe day two shots clear of John Ram

(51:57):
and Buttia, the twenty one yearold. This guy came in out of
nowhere and finds himself in the finalgroup, and he actually played I believe
it was a practice round earlier inthe week with John Rom and Tony Finale
and jokingly, half jokingly at leasttold a reporter that he thought the winner
of the tournament was going to comeout of that group. Now I don't

(52:19):
think he was talking about himself,but he's in a position to do that.
Tied for second finale, rom Batillago out last and it'll be fun.
I'm gonna watch a lot of thatthis afternoon. I think Brandon Wood
at sixteen, Gordon at thirteen alone, Smotherman at twelve alone, Andrew Putnam

(52:40):
at seventeen. That's as far asas deep as I want to go,
let me go. And this isall going on down there at the Mexico
Open at Bidanta. So I talkedabout that beast warm yesterday that went rolling
across the golf course and the videoof the group that it had to go

(53:00):
through to get wherever the queen wastaking them, and how all but one
guy in that entire group hit thedeck, just hit the deck and splayed
out like there was a lightning stormcoming or something horrific, when those bees
really didn't care about them, Theywere just falling their queen to their new
house. So I texted Billy rayBrown, said, hey, man,

(53:24):
did you have anything with doing it? Would you do anything with those bees?
Did they bother you? Did theyget in your way? What was
going on with the bees? Andhe texted me back he said, actually
I was following that group. Iwas with that group, but I was
just a little ways up the coursewhen the bees came along. And hold

(53:44):
on, let me get this textmessage because there was one guy, and
I mentioned this yesterday, one guywho just took a knee, but he
didn't lay down. He took aknee and just let him fly past him
and just was amazed and awesome andenjoyed the experience. Where did this dog
on thing go? Hold on,I'm gonna have to just type his name

(54:05):
in because I think it got wayway down. Billy Ray, a camera
man here it is, Yeah,a guy's name. I wanted to give
him credit. I said, look, I want to give this guy credit
for not being scared of a bunchof honey bees and Billy Ray setting back
camera Kurt Reeves. So, KurtReeves, you I don't even know you,
but you went up in my esteemlevel by not being so scared of

(54:30):
the bees that you felt like youhad to lie down on the ground,
as if that would keep you frombeing stung if they actually wanted to sting
you. Good dude, it's aguarantee I'd be willing to bay anything.
That guy's coming outdoors, he gotto he loves being outdoors. He's working
a camera at golf tournaments. He'sliving the dream. He's probably a young
dude, and that was just somethinghe's going to chalk up to a fascinating

(54:53):
experience. Like I did when ithappened to me years ago. I want
you, do you happen to stillhave Adam? Do you have Chris Dornan's
number? Yes? Oh, wouldyou go ahead and get him a call
and see if he can come onwith me at about what like twenty twenty
one somewhere in there. I wantto do a few minutes with him.
I was listening this morning to theoh hold on, let me go,

(55:14):
get let me go, get theleader board for the tournament he's working,
which happens to be the Insparity Invitationalup there at the Woodlands. Gosh,
my glasses. I'm gonna have toget heavier, stronger glasses, or I'm
gonna have to move. I haveto get longer arms or something. Stephen
Alker, the defending championship, distancedhimself by three shots by a full sleeve

(55:40):
after two rounds. He's now atnine under par and he's got Ernie Els,
He's got ELL's Gogel, and Tom'sDavid Thom's following him, all three
of whom are there within striking distance. Alker. There's something about that course,
and I want to get Chris on. Actually, yeah, we'll wait
till we get back for from thebreak to talk to him. But there's

(56:01):
something that he likes about that course, and maybe maybe Chris has heard about
it. I don't know. SteveStricker's at four, he managed at four
colin Montgomery at four Tonegawa at fourand if you go down to three,
six shots off the lead, andthat would be three shots off of ELL's

(56:21):
gogglin Tomas. I don't think thethrees are gonna be there. But it's
Andrei, Justin Leonard and Steven names. So there you have that. There
were a couple of guys. Holdon, nah, that's enough. That's
a enough on that until I getChris on the phone. There were a
couple of questions I wanted to askhim as kind of follow ups to our
interview yesterday. Chris is up there. He's kind of the media the media

(56:44):
guy for the whole batch, andI'll do that when we get back.
Let's go ahead and take that breakthough, so I can have plenty of
time with him if I can gethim on the phone, and I'll take
this break to I'll use this breakto tell you about Duck Camp. This
is those clothes that I've been wearingnow for a couple of years that I
truly fell in love with when Iwent in a little store over there on
Morning Side in Rice Village. Ididn't know what to expect. I didn't

(57:06):
know. I looked at the websiteand it's it's fascinating at all, but
close on a website, you cansee them, but you can't feel them,
you can't experience them. And that'swhat you're gonna want to do with
duck Campus. Go over to thatstore, walk through it take five minutes,
it doesn't take long. It's nothuge, but they have so much

(57:30):
extremely nice quality inventory in there.You want, You're gonna want to pick
stuff up. You're gonna want toask questions about it, and I strongly
encourage you to ask questions because there'sso much technology, not electronics, but
technology in the design and the placementof pockets and the way those pockets closed
and open that you're gonna want tofind out more about it. Extremely comfortable,

(57:53):
great for fishing, great for hunting. They have everything from shorts for
going fishing down in the Bahamas tocold weather gear to go make a waterfowl
hunt in Minnesota. That the icegear. I guess duckcamp dot COM's website
there in Austin based company. Verycool, very enjoyable clothing, very very

(58:15):
comfortable, duck camp dot com.Get over to the store or go to
that website duck camp dot com.This is Sports Talk seven ninety online at
sports seven ninety dot com. Nowthe more Doug Bike. No, I
ain't no fool and I don't needno more schooling. I was gone to

(58:35):
tuffne live in old tostime. Itain't old toes time. Will you know
I've been through it? I sitmy watch back to sixteen on Sports Talk
seven ninety The Doug Pike Show.Thank you for listening. Let me move

(58:59):
hold on them something real quick,and I'm gonna push a phone line button
and I'll go over here and I'llgo there. Hey, Chris Dornan,
what's going on up there this morning? Well, we got blue sky and
sun, Holy cow, and offersare out on the chorus. We're in
good shape. And not a wholelot of or not a whole lot of
wind this morning either compared to yesterday. Holy cow. No, the wind

(59:21):
definitely kept things on us yesterday broughtto you know, no one really ran
away with things about the scores backStephen, I think Donald. There was
only a handful of players that eventhat got onto par yesterday, so I
would say arguably it was one ofthe toughest scoring days we've got in our
twenty year history out here. Lotsof lots of high seventies and even a

(59:42):
few low eighties. So um uhso, But today's lot a much better
day. You know, I'm expectinga bit of a shootout. That's that's
going to take place here on ChampionshipSunday. It's gonna be fun. Are
you talking about the scores? Ilooked earlier and I think Stephen was the
only guy to break seventy yesterday.That was se Yeah, yeah, like
he yeah, he's not three under, just a just a really solid round,

(01:00:05):
you know, obviously has an eyefor this place and some comfort here.
So um. But you know theother guys, you know, anyone
kind of around par just kind ofhung in there and has a shot at
it. And he's got a reallynice leaderboard shaping up. Ernie. He
made a little run on the backnine and he's three shots back with David
Toms, Miguel hung in there.He's at four under. You know,

(01:00:25):
justin Leonard stubbled a little bit,but he's still within striking this and so
you know, I think a lowround today and um, it could be
a really exciting finish. Do youthink Leonard can get there from from three?
He's six back? Man, that'sthat's a lot. He's gonna have
to come out hot as a pistolthough, isn't he to make him?
Yeah? For sure, I meansomeone someone's got to go load him outside.
This seems like you know a foursohere and he was just talking about

(01:00:51):
the golf course yesterday and just howhe has this just just a really good
eye for it and and feels reallycomfortable here. But you know, it's
funny. I've been watching the tournamentsweekend and week out this year, and
this seems like every Sunday someone comesfrom from deep in the field and you
know, post the low one earlyand they kind of hang in there for
a playoff. So hope, youknow, we'll see what happens here.
Hopefully we just have a Mexic creatingfinish. I'm sure you will. It

(01:01:15):
typically does up there, and withthe weather the way it is, like
you say, they're gonna be ableto They're gonna be able to do a
lot of things they couldn't do ifit were windy and rainy. Still,
no, it's gonna be. Itreally was well yesterday, I mean you
get down the finish the holes,you know, like thirteen, Um,
you know a lot of guys obviouslygo for it in two on thirteen on

(01:01:35):
that island green, but then seventeenand eighteen we're just they were marked theres
yesterday talk about how I saw thislittle side story up there about Hailer Irwin
and Bernard Longer who have forty fiveTour champions wins each ninety between them on

(01:01:58):
that tour, and how it doesn'tlook like it's going to happen for longer
this week, but he's he's threeover. But nonetheless, how many more
weeks you think it's going to bebefore he gets forty six? Well,
you know someone said earlier this weekit's going to happen. It's just a
matter of when. But really cool, you know, Hale's obviously been such
a key part of this tournament,one of Inspirity's ambassadors, and you see

(01:02:22):
her all week and it was justreally cool to see to have the two
of them out on the driving range. It's where it all began. For
Bernhardt seven. This was his firstvictory and he's the only player ever to
win back to back in the twentyyear history of this event see one in
O eight and then fourteen eighteen again. So you know, to have the
both of them on the driving range, we actually did a fun little thing.

(01:02:45):
You did a Bucky's Taste testing challengebetween the two of them. Others
driving ranges. They were to Turkeyand all the BUCkies. It was pretty
cool. I had a little bitof fun. Hale is just such a
great impact and you just watch himout here with with the kids and having

(01:03:06):
fun. Well, you know,Bernhard's obviously still still business and pretty focused
on what he's got to do.That's one of the most laser focused guys.
I interviewed him once and I fromfrom his answers, you can tell
that even when he's working, whetherit's on the golf course or for an
interview and answering questions, he's he'spreparing for the next question and answer as

(01:03:28):
he's given you the answer to thequestion you just asked. He does a
lot of prep, doesn't he.He does, He really does, and
all facets of the game. Youknow, it's funny because we were talking
to Justin Leonard on I guess itwas Wednesday or Thursday, Wentesday it was,
and just talking about life on theChampions Tour and what it's like.
And he said, you know,this morning I went into the the fitness

(01:03:49):
trailer that we have here on thegolf course with their guy in there,
with Bernhard Langer, and he goesthe spot to myself, well, Bernard's
here, I must be doing thingsright, you know, a boy.
And that's the truth, man,Yeah, you know, the guy's an
absolute workhorse. You know, yousee him here, He's the first one
on site, the astle in theleaves, he's he's doing this, his

(01:04:10):
fitness, all routines all perfectly.He's out there on the driving range.
So you know, I think it'sa matter of time until until he breaks
this mark. And I'm sure Haylewill do the first one there, okay,
man, you know he would manninety between him. That's just that's
an amazing accomplishment when you stop andthink about, because you don't even get
to start on that tour till you'refifty, and for them to have won,

(01:04:31):
yeah, exactly. And if youjust think of the names you know,
I remember starting to work on thistour kind of the late nineteen nineties,
and you know, you didn't haveyou had big names, but you
didn't have the death. You know, you have guys like Tom Jenkin and
Jack Keefer and Brian Barnes winning andsure you know that the tour, the
tour wasn't extremely strong at that time. And you know, then you get

(01:04:55):
into the two thousand en you gotall these great names, and it's one
of the hardest things. We're talkingwith the other day. It's just the
hardest thing is to get on thistour and then stay on it. Um.
So for Bernhard to come on andkind of two thousand and seventy eight
and stay there and win, Yeah, this is quite exceptional. It really
is. I'm glad you guys stillhave him out there. How many more

(01:05:16):
years you think he'll play? Hashe ever alluded to that? He has
never alluded to that with us.I mean, he looks as as sitting
young as anyone out here. Sothat's fighting and anytime soon. That ought
to be frightening to anybody who's fiftytoday and coming out next week, because
that's that's the first hurdle you gottajump to compete on that tour. Man's

(01:05:39):
whope for all of us, Doug, you just gotta get him again.
Not for me. I think Itold you when we played at the media
day event about the guy who hereat work who's talk told me he was
forty We're sitting there at the coffeemachine and he's telling me how he's forty
seven and he's thinking about taking aswing at that champion Stewart. Thing said,
what kind of score you he goes, you know, eighties. Yeah,

(01:06:02):
It's it's crazy, Like I Ithis tour is just so hard to
get onto. I know, evena couple of years now. Steve Jones's
two times US Open winner. Youknow, he's he's Monday qualifying to try
to go out here just because thefields it's so deep and so strong.
So you know, they they're excitingto watch the great guys to be around,

(01:06:26):
and um, it's it's gonna bea great final weekend here. How's
your crowd, Chris. We hada great crowd yesterday. You know,
obviously it was a little chili andpastry, but you know, the great
to pull people out and so wehad a great We had a great Saturday.
Um, and we are expecting youknow, quite a quite a good
crowd today, I guess you know. I mean, like I said yesterday,
you know, there's there's probably nosporting event in the world where you

(01:06:48):
can watch these legendary names for free. Yeah. The gates are the wide
open, and you know even comefor nine holes fit and have a drink
and enjoy the sunshine and watch atwo holes. Um. So we've had
a good week and we can't wecan't ask for anything more. Are you
a walker or a sitter? Well, you're working at most of these tournaments.
If you weren't working when you wentto a tournament, would you sit

(01:07:10):
in one spot or would you walkthe course with somebody? My strategy and
what I tell people anytime they comefor the first time, walk the course
once completely for a nice little walkcompletely part part. Park yourself on the
hole and grab a drink and asnack and enjoy it and watch them all
come through. Yeah that's you knowwhat, Yeah, that's a good idea.

(01:07:30):
Just kind of take off and justkeep walking and keep walking till you
get to the hand and then stopthere and grab it your out and then
you see every group come through andyou just sort of enjoy the day.
So that's that's my strategy. That'swhat I tend to do at a new
work course. But can can westop more than once for drinks? We
ever thresh fans everywhere. All right, Hey, Chris Doranan, thanks so

(01:07:56):
much, man. I appreciate yourtime, buddy. All right, thank
you for audios. That's a goodguy right there, that's a good guy.
Yeah. I had never met him. I had exchanged emails with the
guy for years, and I hatedit. I didn't want to break it
to him. But I'm not gonnabe able to make it up today.
I got some stuff going on Igotta take care of at the house.

(01:08:18):
But holy cow, man, wejust we really hit it off and had
fun playing golf that day with RichardDean, and we were as a threesome
in a scrap four person scramble.We remained competitive and none of us was
great enough to be the guy whoalways got to take the extra shot.

(01:08:39):
We spread those around and we allhad a good time. And yeah,
it was just that was one ofthe more entertaining and fun rounds of golf
I played in a long time.Because of the company I was keeping all
right. When we get back,well, I don't have to leave yet,
do I. This is kind ofgood. I want to I want
to talk a little bit about somethingI saw on or something I heard this

(01:09:00):
morning on the way in. It'sabout putting. I'll tell you what I'll
do. I'll just kind of giveyou an idea where I'm going with this.
It's about putting and how to becomea better putter. And if you
go anywhere where there's instruction online,you'll find a thousand different ideas on how
to put better, how to lagput better, how to never miss another
three footer, all of these things. But I finally heard something that I've

(01:09:26):
been waiting to hear for years outof a professional instructor's mouth, and I
heard it this morning for the firsttime. That and we'll talk about a
fight that broke out over pace ofplay when we get back on the way.
They're speaking of golf. Black HorseGolf Club up there on two ninety
just a little ways well up onFry Road, a little way south of

(01:09:47):
two ninety two golf courses the northand the south, so you can get
lots of people out having fun playinggolf. The guy who's running that show
up there now, Craig Hicks.Fantastic guys an outdoors too. If you
get him started talking about hunting andfishing, you'll miss your tea time.
And they're good stories too, they'dbe worth hearing. They have a fantastic

(01:10:08):
teaching facility at the far end ofthe range. They have plenty of people
around there to make you stay fedand water. They've got a great grille
in which you can have a nicemeal before or after you go out and
play. It's a great place togo, whether it's just you and a
buddy jumping out on a beautiful Sundaymorning, or maybe you've got a huge
group of people you need to getout two hundred plus people to raise money

(01:10:30):
for a great cause. They cando that for you too at black Horse
Golf Club. But black Horse agolfclub dot com is a website you can
set yourself at tea time or rightnow by going there black Horse Golf Club

ninety eight. Back to the DougFike Show. I've got no funny,

(01:10:57):
sure got me for nothing? IfI ain't get it all, If you
don't like we live in you justleave this long, long thirty two on

(01:11:21):
Sports Talk seven ninety The Dugpike Show. Thanks for listening. Certainly do appreciate
it. Some of my faster memoriedfriends emailed like one, two three for
half a dozen people to remind methat the pier and the park and the
pleasure thing down there at Galveston originallythe flagship hotel, I think, the

(01:11:43):
only hotel built on the water atthat time around the Gulf of Mexico.
That was before Mississippi forced all ofits casinos to be built over water.
If you didn't know that, andthat's why they're all right there on the
beach front and got If you goout into the Gulf of Mexico and look
back at all these properties, eventhough they look like they're on land from

(01:12:05):
land, when you drive up tothem, if you come in by boat,
you'll realize that the casino is actuallyover water. I don't know if
they've changed that rule since I wasdown there last, but maybe so,
maybe not. Real quickly, Iwant to remind you guys about this whole
threat to AM radios in the carsto there's a lot of automakers saying they're

(01:12:26):
not going to put AM radios incars anymore, and that's just all messed
up, honestly. In addition tobeing important for emergencies, it's also just
kind of where you go to listento shows like mine. Listen to shows
like we have on all of ourAM stations here in Houston and around the
country. They're good, wholesome talkshows. They're fun to listen to.

(01:12:49):
I hope, I hope you enjoywhat I'm doing here, and I want
to continue being able to share thatwith you in your car while you're driving
around. Now you can at homeanyway you want to. You can listen
by going to the streaming you canhave. I don't know many people who
still have AM radios sitting around thehouse with the antenna pulled out and all

(01:13:09):
that stuff. But in the car, it's it's important in that emergency situation
once again, because if there's athreat, a weather threat like we've had
lately, and the power goes outin your house, all those electronic devices
you have really aren't any better andworth anything more to you than the life
of the battery that's in them.At the time that the power goes out.

(01:13:32):
Keep those things in the cars.There's no reason, there's really no
reason they can't leave them in thecars. And for the love of me,
I can't figure out why they're tryingto do this. Text AM just
those two letters to five two eighteight six, and that will let your
congress representatives know that you want thatradio kept in your car. You want

(01:13:55):
AM radios in your cars and trucks. Text AM to five two eight eight
six. It just just makes sense, honestly, all right. So moving
back to where I was going withthis putting thing, and then I will
tell you about a fist fight thathappened on a golf course in Florida recently.
So this I was listening to thePGA Tour Network on the way in

(01:14:15):
this morning, as I usually do, just to see what's going on,
and there's a guy named Steve Armitage, and he's talking about putting in all
sorts of different strokes and stances andsetups and your eyeline and your grip and
all of these things. And hefinally said the one thing that I believed

(01:14:38):
about putting since I took up thegame. He finally said that in the
end, you have to find somethingthat works for you. And that is
true. That's actually throughout the bag, but especially in putting. And there
have been I know, some reallygood instructors who are really good at teaching
how people how to put better.And the best instructors I've ever known who

(01:15:03):
have changed a lot of people's gamesfor the better are the ones who follow
some basic guidelines but try to workthose guidelines into someone's physical abilities and tendencies.
And they can relate to their studentsand they can say, okay,
well, just try to change thisa little bit instead of having one cookie

(01:15:27):
cutter putting stroke for everybody, becausewe're all different, everybody and every one
of us golf is it's this gameof infinite numbers of square pegs, all
of us trying to fit ourselves andour golf balls into roundholes. And it's
okay to be a square peg.You just have to learn how to hit
that round ball as a square pegthe best you can. I get tickled

(01:15:51):
seeing a lot of these ads thatsay, no matter how old you are,
if you do this, you'll addten to fifteen twenty yards to your
t shots. No, no,you won't. The main thing the older
you get and the slower your swingspeed gets you can do. You can
do a lot of exercise and gaina little bit of yardage. That's true.

(01:16:15):
You can do a lot of exerciseand gain a few yards, But
your game would probably improve more quicklyif you were to instead devote far more
time to your short game and yourputty. I preached that, and I

(01:16:36):
would have never thought that as atwenty thirty forty year old because I swung
hard. I had a very highclubhead speed for the especially back in those
days is nobody was really Nobody wasreally getting out there like they are now
and developing swing speed the way specificallyas as they are now. We were

(01:16:57):
just trying to swing hard and figureout where it was going to go.
And I would have never believed thatmy swing speed would come down the way
it has, and that I wouldn'tthat no matter how hard, I still
feel like I'm swinging. It's justnot there anymore. And I've had to
accommodate that by working on two things. My longer irons. It wasn't there

(01:17:18):
weren't many opportunities to hit long ironsback when I was playing my longest golf,
not my best golf, but mylongest golf I'm probably playing my best
golf now as far as scores go, and relative to the amount of time
I can devote to the game likeanybody. If I were able to,

(01:17:39):
just if I won the lottery tomorrowand we're able to just go tee it
up and work on my game everyday, I could. Certainly. I
still have the confidence in my bodythat I could improve my game by several
strokes around, but it would takea lot of work. And I know
that. The notion I was Iwas telling Chris about that guy who told

(01:18:01):
me he was thinking about going tothe Champions Tour and he's shooting in the
eighties when he's telling me this,and he's got three years to get there.
In those three years, to accomplishthat, he would have to start
winning city tournaments, then state tournaments, then regional tournaments, maybe work himself
into a into a US Open somehowthrough a couple of qualifiers. And this

(01:18:21):
guy was and then and then goplay against Stephen Alker, go play against
Berta hard longer, guys who havewon thirty forty fifty tournaments, and no,
it's not going to happen. Butit's still a fun game. And
I still do enjoy it, andit's the one game where the playing field

(01:18:43):
can be leveled just by keeping anhonest handicap. I could go out and
play against Stephen Alker, and ifwe both wrote down honest handicaps, we
would start at that first team withthe opportunity to ultimately we should end in
a tie basically unless one of usdoes better hits a couple of better shots

(01:19:04):
than the scores that we shoot indicatewe would. And that's one thing I
really like now, as if you'rea really low handicap, you get killed
in scramble tournaments and stuff where you'vegot four guys who write down twenty five
handicaps and get whatever number of strokestaken off your score, and then your

(01:19:25):
group has four two handicaps and youget basically no help at all. That
can bite you. But as anindividual, golf is the game for sure.
Seven one three two one two fiveseven nine. Email me Doug Pike
at iHeartMedia dot com. I justhad a flashback to the knot question I

(01:19:45):
got asked earlier about what knots Iuse, and there's no extra information.
I'm just thinking about how simple thatif you can tie three knot find three
knots. One's got to be aloop knot, one's got to be a
direc at line tie to the lureor hook, and one's got to be
a splice. If you can tiethose three knots, you can do just

(01:20:08):
about anything. And actually you're gonnaneed two splices if you're gonna fish for
bigger game, because you may needto tie in heavier leader and that becomes
difficult, especially if you're fishing withbraid, So maybe a fourth knot for
that, But otherwise you're good togo. Nothing against Bob McNally's book.

(01:20:29):
Bob's an old friend and i'd loveto see him sell more books. And
if you ever just want some interestingreading as a fisherman, read a knot
book and put some line next toyou when you do it, so you
can just strip off a couple offeet of line and learn how to tie
another knot. You might trip oversomething that's for you and your fingers.
It's kind of like putting. Ifyou find a knot that works really well

(01:20:50):
for you and your fingers and howthey work still, then go at it
down in Florida. I'll tell youthis very quickly, and then we'll go
to this break. There were twofoursomes and this happens up to the part
where they get in the fist fight. All the time in golf, two
foursomes out there and one kept hittinginto the other group. The one behind

(01:21:14):
kept hitting into the group in front, even though the group in front had
a group in front of them thatwas slowing them down. Nothing they could
do about it. But these guysbehind and there's there's video all over the
internet, some of it better thanothers. But these guys getting in a
fist fight. This is like aneight man brawl essentially over pace of play.

(01:21:41):
I'll talk about that when we comeback. And it was actually the
same guy, Steve Armitage, thatsaid something that really caught my eye and
encourage me to coin a phrase,if you will, to coin a phrase
that will help you under understand paceof play and how it should be exercised
so that you don't end up ina fist fighter having golf balls come whizzing

(01:22:04):
through your group from the guys behindyou. On the way out, I'll
tell you about Shooters Corner, thegun store down in Texas City. Very
easy to find. It's just afew miles off the Freeway on Highway or
Palmer Highway at twenty nine Street.Very easy to find, old school store.
Nothing but guns, Ammo shooting supplies, optics, a little bit of

(01:22:27):
Camo. Great Gunsmithing service. Ifthere's anything wrong with any of your guns,
are you just need a good cleaningon them, take them down there
and let them restore those things towhere they're operating just like new. If
you need a gun, they've gotwhat you need, or they'll get it
for you. If you need partsfor a gun, they'll either have it
or if necessary. In many casesthat it's happened with my audience with some

(01:22:50):
older guns, they've been able tomake a part to replace one that's hard
to find or impossible to find.Forty plus years family owned and operated by
Jerry JTK, a father and sonteam. I've known Jerry for thirty plus
years, which is just staggering tothink about, but I have met him
down on the San Burrito Ranch ranchat Bill Carter Ran when he was alive,

(01:23:12):
and his family continues to run itdown there outside Laredo. Great Man,
Great store. If you need anykind of gunsmithing work, any kind
of m O, anything gun related, hunting related go check out Shooters Corner.
Be prepared to stay a while too. They're gonna be stories breakout while
you're there. You're gonna want tolisten to those stories. And then if
you've got something to add, goahead and at it, and everybody in

Doug Fike Show. On the roadagain. Just can't wait to get all

(01:24:02):
road again? Why if I loveit? Began mutic with my friend I
can't wait all roll again road again. One places that I've ever been seeing
things that I made seven on SportsTalk seven ninety again Willie Nelson ninety years

(01:24:27):
old? Was it yesterday? Itwas his birthday? Is that right?
Yes? Sir? Wow? Holycow. Let's go back to this pace
of plaything which I heard it explainedby Steve and he talked about Steve Armitage
on the PGA Tour Network. Hetalked about how if you wait, if
you want this to work, ifyou want everybody to kind of get along
on the golf course and nobody tofeel rushed and nobody to feel hindered.

(01:24:50):
You can't just why you can't standas the next group up and watch the
guys hit their t shots and thenrun up there and have your first guy
Peggy's ball and be ready to go, and as soon as they hit their
final shot, approach shot, youbomb it out there. If you'll just

(01:25:10):
wait in what I'm calling and whathe explained without using the words, so
I'm taking full credit for it.Space of play, not pace of play.
Space of play. He encouraged peoplewho are Whether you're walking or riding,
it doesn't really matter. But ifyou will let that set, that
group in front of you hit theirshots and then walk almost all the way

(01:25:35):
up to the green before you guystee off, everybody can move along at
a pace that leaves you getting toyour ball about the time that they're leaving
the green. So you can goahead and just put one extra shot in
there. It's not going to slowyou down. It's actually gonna speed you

(01:25:57):
up ultimately, and every body willbe able to play through and not feel
like they're being rushed. They won'tfeel like they've got to hurry up and
hit a shot. They won't belooking over their shoulders worried about making somebody
mad, and golf will be abetter game for us all space of play.
Think about that when you're being hurried, and if you're feeling like you're

(01:26:21):
not, if you're not keeping upwith the people in front of you,
that's on you. Okay, youshould be up in space of play with
them. If you've got a holeand a half in front of you that's
wide open, you're not playing fastenough. But if you're behind that group,
and if you'll just let a slowgroup get one more shot gone,

(01:26:42):
then you shouldn't have to worry aboutcatching up with them anymore. They should
be able to stay that far infront. And if they're not there at
that point, call the clubhouse,say hey, you need to send somebody
out here. These turtles in frontof us are killing us. They're driving
us crazy. We're trying to havefun and play golf and I'm trying to
take a dollar from this guy,and I need to make a putt and

(01:27:03):
I can't even get to the greenanyway. You know what I'm talking about.
Golf is a very frustrating game,and being in a hurry and trying
to play golf is the worst.It's the worst if you've got somebody slow
in your group. By the way, if you don't know who the slowest
player in your group is, it'skind of like the dumbest guy in the

(01:27:23):
room. If you don't know whoit is, it's probably you. It's
probably you if you're the slow guy. And I've played with a lot of
guys who are much slower than I, I don't feel like I waste a
whole lot of time. I mightstand there and make one practice swing,
and then I'll usually step on inand take care of business. And I
don't stand over the ball too terriblylong, I don't think. And if

(01:27:45):
anybody I play with ever tells meI'm playing too slowly, I will appreciate
being told, and I will tryto speed it up. Now. I
don't know where I'll make up thetime, but I'll try to speed it
up. Seven to one, three, one, two, five, seven
nine. Email me Doug Pike atiHeartMedia dot com. Carl weighs in.
Some of the best programming in radiohas been on AM Radio. AM goes

(01:28:08):
back in time with the best daysof goose hunts and Eagle Lake. Holy
cow, Yeah, I remember backin the day you could listen to stories.
He goes on and on. Yeah, I'm with you. AM's where
it's the crackle sometimes and am whenthere's some thunderstorm coming or something that's kind
of cool. I like that.Oh wow. I was checking Dennis Waiting

(01:28:30):
when I was talking about knots,said, actually, I use those three
knots while setting up my camp quiteoften. That would be one of the
surgeons loop, another other several Billy, I'm going to home, Billy writes,
I'm going home to work on lineto line knots. He usually uses

(01:28:50):
a blood knot. That's a goodone, but it's not as efficient with
braid. I don't believe as thatsurgeon's loop. It's easy, it's so
easy. A blood knot can kindof get tangled up in your hands if
you're especially if you're and it's notas good if you're using greatly different diameters

(01:29:13):
of lines, and especially braid.It'll slip some on braid with braid.
But I've never had a problem,never had a problem with that. Loop
one two three loop, de loopde loop and pull it tight, Wet
it and pull it tight, Wetthose knots every time. I don't care
if you use saliva. I don'tcare if you dunk them in the water
in the bottom of your boat.I don't care how you do it.

(01:29:35):
But doing that reduces the friction asthose lines slip against each other, which
reduces the heat that would weaken them, especially the monofilaments in the floor carbons,
the braid I don't think reacts somuch to heat. But that that
plastic, that stuff is not sogood. William Fortunes one second to go

(01:30:00):
read that book. Now, Alan'sgot me going to read a book.
Holy cow, oh bees. Yeah. Alan also wrote in it back in
a round nineteen seventy, speaking ofthose honey bees that flew across the course
down in Mexico yesterday or day beforeyesterday. Somehow, my little sister,
with a blanket over her shoulder,was out of the front yard near a

(01:30:21):
huge oak. A huge swarm wasbuzzing like a tornado all around her.
I saw her, and I ranout to grab her. She had no
clue at three, but noby botheredher or me as I ran and grabbed
her. That's because they were focusedon their queen. Singularly focused on their

(01:30:42):
queen. They had no interest inyou. Most bees don't unless they are
those Africanized honeybees. And you know, they've been out of the they've actually
been out of the news for quitesome time. Knock on wood, and
I'm glad of that. I'm nota big fan of bees trying to chase
me down and kill me. Butyeah, there's once they're once they decide

(01:31:06):
to move and I don't know what, I don't know what triggers move for
them. But if that queen decidesto go somewhere, they're all following her,
and they don't care what's in theirway. They're not gonna bother you.
They're gonna go around you. Ifyou'll just stand still, you'll you'll
appear to them as a tree ora car or anything else that might be
in their way. You're not somethingthey're afraid of. They just got to

(01:31:29):
navigate around you, and these arepretty good at that. Don't be too
scared of them unless you're allergic,and then carry what you need to carry.
My father was allergic to wasp stingsand had to carry There was something
I can't remember it was the forerunnerto the EpiPen, and it may have
been just a syringe she kept atthe house. I don't know, but
whatever it was, if he gotstung by a wasp, he would have

(01:31:53):
to have used it because in hispast somewhere he'd been stung by one and
it messed him up bad. Iwas playing catch in the backyard with a
family friend, a guy who wasprobably a teenager at the time went on
to be a state judge, andplaying catch with him in our backyard over
on Langdon Lane, and stuck myarm into the ligustrium bushes along the back

(01:32:15):
fence to retrieve a baseball. Andwhen I looked up from the baseball,
I was nosed to nest with abunch of yellowjackets and they all just jumped
on my face and stung me.And I puffed up like a pumpkin for
a few days, but it didn'tever really threaten me. My mom took
me to the doctor, but thedoctor just said, yeah, he's okay.

(01:32:38):
I looked horrible. Yeah he's okay. I could still breathe, I
could still see, I could stilleat, I could do the things that
I needed to do. But man, it was a little bit on the
painful side. Adam, what's onyour weekend roster? You're going up to
