Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
How many fish on our stringer, how many points on
our buck, how many feathers in our bag.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's how we keep score around here.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Sportsmen and women of all skill levels, let's disconnect from
the day to day grind and stay connected to the
outdoor activities that you and your family love. This is
the Doug Fike Show, brought to you by American Shooting Centers,

(00:34):
the largest non military shooting facility in Texas. At by
Riceland Waterfowl Hunting Club at Eagle Lake, a premiere waterfowling
experience available exclusively to members.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
And their guests. Now here's dog bike, all right, here
we go Sunday Morning edition of the program. I've taken
the liberty of taking a peek at the Gulf of
Mexico by way of the webcam at Saltwater Recon and
looks pretty dog gone nice. If you're planning a trip

(01:07):
to the beach, now, there is some There is some
sargassam weed on the beach at surfside. I don't know
how much they've wiped away in Galveston now, but hey,
if you've lived around here long enough, you know that
stuff's gonna be there. I'm gonna check one more quick
camera before I get kind of teed up and started here. Webcams, webcams.
Let's go to Galveston and just because it's kind of

(01:31):
in the middle of where I want to be, sixty
first Street Fishing Pier by the way, Saltwater Recon's totally
redone and it is absolutely fantastic. I like the I
like the new setup of everything. I got with oars
a while back and got my access back because they
shifted the site. And you have to kind of either

(01:52):
if you're a returning member, you can you can get
in there and do that. If you're brand new to it,
you have to sign up again. Well, you have to
sign up up. Let's say it that way. The water
doesn't look terribly clean from this view from the camera
at sixty first Street, but it is calm. There is
a I'm gonna go to the windsurf site right now. Boy,

(02:13):
I've got these fun sites that I look at all
the time. Oh yeah, beautiful day for beach going. It's
cloudy right now. I think that's going to clear up
in the afternoon. I hope it does. Anyway, got a
wind out of the northeast in Galveston, almost due north
down from all of Matta Gorda and a little bit
farther down and then over to Corpus, and beyond that

(02:38):
it's more of a northwest to westerly factor. It's all
kind of funneling right down through I'll call it Port
O'Connor maybe, or maybe West Mattagorda Bay. Somewhere in that
area is where it turns to the northwest from the northeast,
and all that wind is just going right out over

(03:00):
the Gulf of Mexico. There are zeros, a couple of
them at least down along the coast as far as
wind velocity goes. So not the greatest day for kite flying. However,
anything else outside ought to be. Okay, it is Mother's Day.
I can't go another second without talking about this. If
you are a mom headed to church with the family

(03:21):
right now, turn up the radio. So everybody in the
car or truck or suv or whatever you're driving, here's
me tell them that this is Mother's Day. It's not
mother's morning, it's not mother's afternoon. It's not mother's couple
of hours. It's Mother's Day all day, right right up
to the end of the day. It'll still be Mother's

(03:44):
Day until you decide that Mother's Day's done and you're
going to bed. You got baseball games today, and Mom's
already packed your snacks and filled your water jug. Every
time you get up to bat today, you turn to
your you take off your helmet, and you say thanks Mom.

(04:04):
And on the way home, ask her what she wants
for lunch if you lost the first game, and maybe
what she wants for dinner if you somehow managed to
win one or two more and kept playing right through
Mother's Day. The same for soccer players, volleyball, if you're
doing something you like to do today, golf for the dads,
Oh man, don't don't even try to come up with

(04:27):
a reason. Just stay home this one day. It'll be okay.
Your golf game's not going to suffer because you didn't
take care of your wife, who takes care of your kids.
It's just that easy. Make sure your family has what
it needs, and on Mother's Day, make sure mom gets

(04:47):
everything she needs without having to lift a finger. My
mom was a really good one. She was I guarantee
you packed all my school lunches, made sure the family
had what we needed. She was a stay at home mom.
She juggled two kids in the house while my dad
was at work. She did all that somehow. And my

(05:07):
sister and I had a lot of fun growing up,
We really did. We lived in a fun neighborhood over
in Sharpstown and had a lot of friends, a lot
of kids on the street. And this is back in
the old play outside until the street lights days, and
it was. It was a heck of a lot of fun.
So if you're a kid, you're going to a baseball
game or soccer game, or volley whatever, something fun that

(05:29):
you like to do today, make sure you thank your
mom and do it out loud too. Do it out
loud in front of your teammates, in front of all
the parents and everybody in the bleachers. Just call time
out with the umpire, turn around, take your helmet off,
look her square in the eye, say thank you, mom,

(05:49):
thank you. Happy Mother's Day, all right. My wife's a
stay at home mom too, by the way, and she's
done a fantastic job with our son. I have to
say he's a little spoiled if you ask me, but
that's just because she wants him to have every chance
to be everything he wants to be. I've been blessed

(06:10):
having a wife who understands too, and this is something
of a unique experience in our family. She does understand
that I'm telling the straight up truth when I say, oh,
by the way, I'm going to be gone for a
few days. I have to go fishing, i have to
go hunting, I have to go play golf, and I'm

(06:33):
going to Actually, now that my son's he's got his
own vehicle, he can transport himself anywhere he wants to go,
I'm gonna start doing a little bit more traveling because
I can take the broadcast equipment with me and I
can operate at myself. When I started traveling for this job,
back when I was at the paper, especially, I had

(06:54):
a lot of opportunities to go places and broadcast life
from here, there and everywhere. And I had to take
a producer with me because the equipment that it was
required to do that was pretty bulky. It was the
size of a large suitcase. I can remember lugging those
things through the Denver Airport, Atlanta, all these different trips

(07:16):
that I was making with different producers over the years,
to golf resorts to ski resorts, and I always had
to have somebody just attached at the hip the whole
time we were there trying to get these broadcasts done. Now,
everything I need is in a box that's not about
the size of a box that would carry a small

(07:39):
pair of boots, and that's it. Well, that in a
headset and a stick mike if I'm going to have
guests on the show. But that's all I have to do.
And I'm about to put my coattail in the wind
because I missed out on some trips when my son
was young, and I don't regret it. The timing was
just not right for me to be out of town

(08:01):
that much then. But it's back to being the right
time now and I'm ready to roll. I really am.
I'm gonna have some fun with this. I know how
to use that equipment, and it travels light, it travels easily,
and I've already had a couple of test runs. I
did my broadcast from down there at Moody Gardens went
off pretty much without a hitch. I had one. It

(08:23):
kind of baptism under fire. There's always a chance that
things can go wrong, and I had that happen when
I broadcast from a golf tournament. I wanted to play
in on a Tuesday over on Lake Houston, and we
had something glitch up in the in the I don't
know what it was that happened, but I was able

(08:45):
to find a work around just in case it stayed wonky,
and we got that one done too. Seven one three
two one two five seven ninety. Email me Dougpike at
iHeartMedia dot com. It's Mother's Day. You want to brag
on your mom? Did your mom teach you how to fish?
Did your mom do all the cooking around there? And
still boy could when you go home, you get a

(09:07):
great meal. What is it about your mom that made
her special to you? And if you can't think of anything,
I'll give you one. She brought you into the world.
She brought you into the world. Keep that home fire burning,
Mom's when when everybody else has to go somewhere. That's
one thing I really appreciated about my wife, especially when

(09:29):
our son was young, and I did. I didn't quit traveling.
I just well, I did have to give up some
pretty good trips for him, and he knows it. And
I don't regret not going to play golf for nine
days in China. I don't regret not going to hunt
and fish in New Zealand or I don't think that

(09:50):
was a ten day trip. I missed him, and that's okay.
I got a pretty good son in exchange and a
great wife who takes care of me when I do
go out of town now and all it has. That's
one thing I don't have to worry when I leave town.
I really don't worry much. She's going to keep those
home fires burning, and so Happy Mother's Day to her

(10:13):
she's sleeping in this morning, Happy Mother's Day to her
when she wakes up. And uh, pretty much to everybody
in this audience who wears that name tag, that mom
name tag, your job is not an easy one. And
if nobody else tells you today, if nobody else tells you,
Happy Mother's Day, for whatever reasons they might have, whether

(10:34):
they're not in town, they're not around anymore, they're not
whatever the reason, you just remember that I told you that,
and I mean it so to all of you. Happy
Mother's Day and no fishing and the golf and great outdoors.
We'll let's get into the store, by the way, let's cut.
I wouldn't mind at all. First of all, if you've

(10:55):
got a story to talk to tell about your mom
and how she raised you to be a good and
honest and kind person. And especially if there's a little
bit of outdoors to throw on top, that's kind of
the cherry on top. Not all moms love the outdoors.
Mine mine. It was interesting when we were dating that
she would go outdoors and do stuff with me, and

(11:17):
then she turns out she was more of a little
city girl, and that's okay. I have no problem with
that whatsoever. She and I have it hunted or fished
together in a long time. This will be thirty five
years of marriage this year, and it's been a while.
It's been a hot minute since she grabbed a fish
and rod or came out into a rice field with me.

(11:38):
But it did happen a couple of times before we
got married, and I don't I don't try to force
that on her at all because it's just not the
way she grew up. But we make a good team,
we really do. All kinds of stuff goes on in
everybody's lives, but the bottom line is we make a
pretty good team when we set our minds to it.
So happy Mother's Day to her up. If you have

(12:01):
anything that you want to share about your mom. You're
welcome to do it here today, even if it's just
that she was a great mom and you love her
for it. And if you want to profess that to
the world, well, at least to this audience, which is
significant thousands of people. You can talk to it once.
Makes it a lot easier than having to go door
to door. Yeah, by all means, just just tee it up,

(12:23):
give me a call, shoot me an email if if
you want me to not read your email over the air,
by the way, make sure you say so because sometimes
and I'm not going to give up anybody's full name.
I'm not going to give away anybody's email address. I
don't do that to people. I'm just I'm just here
to relay messages from first names. And unless you have

(12:43):
an absolutely unique first name, and I can think of
a few people who kind of do. There are a
couple names I can think of off the top of
my head that if I set them, you know exactly
who If you know that person, you know exactly who
it was. And if I say Steve or Bob or
John or Dave or Ed or something like that, could

(13:04):
be anybody, could be a lot of people that I know.
I think it's James that I have in my phone
something like eighteen or twenty toime different people named James.
I need to go through that phone to a lot
of these contacts I have in there, kind of ancient
if you will, good Heavens, break time already. I already

(13:25):
checked with Frankie. He's taken. We talked about it yesterday.
He's taking his mom to well, the family's taking his
mom out for Indian food, which I've never tried, but
I'm told, mostly by Frankie, that it's very good. So
someday I'll try that as well. We'll take a little
break here, we'll be right back on the way out.
I'll tell you about Riceland Waterfowl Club. This is David
Pruitz Baby and has been for fifty years. Fifty years

(13:50):
he has been running this outfit out in Eagle Lake.
That essentially what he does is lease land from farmers,
make sure there's good water on it, makes sure there's
some duck food on it somewhere, and then during the
winter time, when the farmers aren't farming, he invites his
club members to I don't know exactly how the system

(14:12):
that he uses works, but the system he uses accommodates. However,
many groups are coming out that day. He has far
more duck blinds, and they're all about a quarter of
a mile apart or more. He has far more duck
blinds than he has clubs, So everybody's going to get
a shot at a pretty good place to go hunt
ducks every day during the season, and the only people

(14:34):
who are going to be in those blinds are going
to be club members and their guests. That's it. He
does no guided hunting out there on his Riceland Waterfowl
Club property, which is really kind of a big deal
if you've been hunting waterfowl around here a long time.
Most of the outfitters out there use a combination of both,
and I'm not knocking them for it, because the good ones,

(14:56):
the ones I've hunted with lately, know how to juggle
all that and make sure that nobody feels slighted. But
David just says, now, we're not going to do any
guy in hunting. We're just going to do club hunting.
It's a hunting club and it's going to be hunting
club members who get to take advantage of that. And
boy did they last year. They had a good year
and a lot of you. If I asked how many

(15:17):
people had a bad duck season last year, a lot
of hands would go up in the air, I guarantee you.
But not at rice Land. They had a better than
average year. Better than average because they've got the properties,
because they've got the ducks, because David balances it out
and doesn't over hunt the places that are holding birds.
And by the way, if you need tips on waterfowl calling,

(15:40):
he's got a bushel basket full of trophies that he's
won over the years from doing that. That's what he
does in his spare time. Probably just driving around. He's
probably blowing duck calls and goose calls. I used to
do that at lights. It's a lot of fun. Come
hunting season or even before then, just bring a duck
call with you. If somebody's got their stereo just blazing,
roll your windows down a little bit and work on
your hell call. Riceland Waterfowl Club Ricelandwaterfowl Club dot com.

(16:05):
They're out in Eagle Lake. Ricelandwaterfowl Club dot com. Ay
twenty on Sports Talk seven ninety The Doug Pike Show,
Thank you very much for joining us on Mother's day,
and you you know as well as I do what
you need to do to take care of Mom today.
So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lecture you anymore.
Let me get to Mike and start it with him.

(16:27):
Hold on, let me get there. We go, Mike. What's up, man?

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Good morning?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm fine. I had pretty good nights sleep last night.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
Actually, age had.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Help damen to that. I saw something really funny, mikeel briefly,
there's this guy on on Facebook, this little reel that
came up. This guy, he's been sitting on it. You
can tell he's been sitting on the floor working on
something for a long time. And he's starting to get up,
and you can you know the feeling when you start
getting up when you've been sitting on the floor a
long time. And he says, I'm at the age now

(16:58):
where I'm not I'm not sure whether something's really hurt
or that's just who I am now, You know what
I mean?

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Don't you been there, done that? Brother?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Every time I sit down I regret having to stand
up again. What's up?

Speaker 3 (17:14):
I got a question for your way back memory and
your paper days and your current computer apps. How does
the paper determine what normal high and low temperature and
normal weekly or daily or yearly rainfall. How did they

(17:35):
come about doing that?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Well, they add it all up at the end of
the year for the total rainfalls. There are gauges set
up in a lot of spots, probably more than you think,
but less than any of us would like. It's just
a matter of being able to manage all that. And
now that it's all done kind of digitally, they don't
have to have somebody go out and check rain gauges.

(17:58):
That it's all electron and through wireless.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
I understand daily, but how do they come up with
monthly and yearly?

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Add them all up and divide by twelve.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Or the yearly?

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I understand at the end of what am I missing?
What I'm trying to get to is how do they
come up with the normal?

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh? Yeah, what's normal? Yeah? What's normal is what somebody
decided was normal. How else could that be? And it
may be that they're using that what they're doing it.
I'm sure that Mike is is going back as far
as has been recorded historically and using all that data.

(18:41):
But if the skeptic in me says, before computers and
before electronics, just how accurate it was all that.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
I got a question for you. Sure, why don't you
make a promise to your better head and this year,
definitely take care of cleaning that garage.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Stop it, stop it, stop it. We're about to have
a bad connection. And Losjah, hell, hell, are you kidding me?
You just have to throw that at me today? Oh
my gosh. See, now you're gonna guilt me into going
out in the garage this afternoon before before my son
and I are going to cook my wife dinner breakfast
for dinner tonight, French toast and and all kinds of stuff.

(19:25):
There's no telling what my son will whoop up. He's
a he's a very good cook. He's very handy in
the kitchen and very he'll go out and test stuff.
And the one thing I want him to test that
I saw recently was French toast made not with an
egg wash, but made with microwaved to into liquidity vanilla

(19:46):
ice cream. Yeah, try some of that.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
I'm on my way to the kitchen, buddy, all right.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Mike, I see letter Audios, Holy mackerel, Let me go
get Dave here before we have to go to the
break day. We got a few minutes. What's going on?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Hey man, that sounds wonderfully good. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
Hey, yeah, I had to jump up this morning at
four and get here. I'm still here in Houston. But
I gave the wife a kiss and think I'm gonna
take her shop and uh and then uh yeah instead
of well on it's Mother's Day.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
Yeah, I know, yeah, but then uh.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
We're just gonna we're gonna buy essentials, you know. And
then and then we thought about going down to eat,
but now Mother's Day is kind of hard to go
to a restaurant. So I'm gonna cook her something good,
you know, I'm just gonna cook her something good. And
then we'll sit around and watch the moon go down
and listen to the Astros game and stuff like that.

(20:47):
Back to back to my mom. The first thing. Everybody
Happy Mother's Day, to the mom's and grandma's and the
great grandma.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah they were probably listening, right Grandma to them.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah, yeah, I know, an you know.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Down and down through the history.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't uh, we wouldn't
be around. And then uh yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And then so now uh yeah, but my mom, oh,
God see she graduated with my aunts from Incarnate Word
and she was a softball pitcher.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
She won the state championship.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Yeah, Carnet Work Academy instilled into us to be playing football.
My dad too, working hard, doing what you got to do,
and washed all our football uniforms, got our band uniforms
all dressed up in.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Going you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
And I taught us how to clean fish, clean rabbits,
clean squirrels, cleaning fogs, you know.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
And then we had a milk of.

Speaker 6 (21:47):
Cow and grow all the vegetables.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
That you'd ever think of in your life. So thanks
to my mom there now on your live remote stuff.
We went by that. We went and met the realtor
lady there yesterday again, looked around. I found the bearings
on where the property lines are and everything.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
But yeah, I'm in. I got's a garage apartment, four bedrooms.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
When we get in there, you can bring your briefcase
down there and do a live remote from my back.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Porch out there looking at Lake Livingston.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
I'd have to do that. I just might. That'd be
kind of fun.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
Yeah, can you when you go straight down out of
the backyard over there, then you just go across a
palisade circle right there, and then there's the boat launch
in the in the public park right Well, it's a
park for the people that live.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
There, you know.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
But yeah, yeah, running reel and they say they catch
a lot of catfish there. So oh in the rivers
to the left when you're looking out at the water.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I got an idea where you are yet,
Livingston's kind of it's a sleepy, quiet, good catfish lake there.
Conroe I think has the bigger reputation, but only because
there's more pea people on it and more people doing it.
But we've we've got those two and a lot of

(23:06):
other really good catfish lakes in this state where if
you go out and throw a handful of range cubes out,
it won't take long to draw crowd.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
I got you.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
And hey, also coming back, you know you got Sam
Houston Park over. Yeah, but I've never been in there before,
but I heard they got it. They caught them like
a fourteen foot alligator after Oh good lord, I don't
want that.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Well.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Oh, and we asked them about My wife asked one
of the president of the association there about swimming area.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
No, we got alligators.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, that's you know, think about how many times you
and I and people who grew up like we did
just went running down the down the trail and just
dove into a stock tank somewhere. And how many times
we probably dove into or jumped into stock tanks that
had a couple of alligators in them and we just

(24:03):
never knew it. We're totally oblivious to it. But it
was so fun, right, so fun now, you know.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Like, and I love it. My dogs, Oh my gosh.
I guarantee that they like to swim and stuff like
that to so that you gotta be careful with the
dog gun around. I know they're big, they're they're defensive.
I mean, yeah, they're big ducks. But anyway, no, at
least they'll be running around back here. We already got
the plans on the dog run. Yeah, it's all it's

(24:30):
all falling into place. I'm gonna put them kind of
underneath a big pine tree and an oak tree right
there where they can have.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Behind.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
We got a water holes person.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
And then like I said, then if something weather's bad,
I'll take them and put them in that three car garage.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
There you go. Hey, I got a run Dave.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, go ahead, back up, back up, playing back up.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I like it. I like having plans. I'll see you
man audios. All right, we're gonna take this little break. Rick,
hang come on, you will be first up, with plenty
of time to talk when we get back. On the
way out black Horse Golf Club. Okay, two ninety to
Fry Road. Hang as south south a couple of miles.
There's gonna be golf course on the on the right,

(25:13):
and then you're gonna go, wow, there's golf course on
both sides of the road. About that time, start applying
your brakes and put on your west blinker. That'll be
a right blinker going south. For those of you who
are compass challenged, and there are a lot of you
out there, you know it. You won't need a compass
to get around black Horse. It's very easy.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Now.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
There are two courses, the North and the South. The
North still open for daily fee play like it's been
for the better part of thirty years. The South was
taking private this year and the memberships continue to grow
in number, and there's still room for a few more. Actually,
I've been talking to Craig Hicks a little bit about
that lately, and what you get with one of the

(25:53):
membership options at black Horse join that South Course as
a as a card carrying member is access also to
Blackhawk and Golf Club of Houston's courses. That's three more tracks.
So in essence, you can get access to five golf
courses and from from black Horse. Really, Blackhawk's not far.
I've had to do that sometimes when I'd go out

(26:14):
to Blackhawk to play with the boys on Mondays and
there's a big tournament going on, and I did can

Height thirty six on Sport Talk seven ninety The Dougpike Show.
Thank you for listening. I really do appreciate it. On
this Mother's Day, forecast says is gonna be pretty good.
Had some rain late last night, just out of nowhere.
I really didn't expect it at all. It was cloudy.

(27:19):
I went and hit some balls yesterday afternoon and didn't play,
didn't fish at all even I just stayed out there
for about a half an hour and then came on
home and felt pretty confident that it was going to
be dry all the way through Monday at least and
maybe Tuesday. And then just out of the blue, about
the time the Astros were getting hammered. Well that didn't

(27:41):
take long either. First run at first inning. I'll talk
about that in a minute. Rick's been hanging on a while.
Let me get him up here. Hey, Rick, what's up. Many.

Speaker 7 (27:48):
I want to try to answer my question about how
they measure rainfall for the sure like that guy. And
this is just based on my experience in business. I'm
in buying or we're not buying necessarily, but selling property.
On the kind of property I sell, amounts of rainfall
can be very very important.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Oh yeah, absolutely, your rural property, they have to know
how much rain they're gonna get.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
Okay, if you notice when you drive down highways, interstates, SMS,
and you cross rivers, bridges, you'll see a box. You'll
have an antanna on it, or maybe a little satellite ditch,
et et cetera. Now what that is. That's a cooperation
between the United States Geological Society. That's the government. And

(28:40):
then you've got text dot everybody's got their finger in
the pie here. And then you've got maybe the Lower
connorad or River Authority which affects you. And then in
the remote areas, you've got counties and cities that go
out there to their little rivers and springs and that's
how they do it. And you drive by, sometimes you'll

(29:02):
be six or seven guy sitting out there on a
bridge and they're dropping up some kind of something down
to do temperature. I've seen the same guys one hundred
miles apart on the same river doing the same thing.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (29:17):
So what they do is on today's maybe eleventh in
sugar Land. To summarize, they take maybe eleventh or the
last thirty or forty years ago. There was no rain
that day, there was five inches that day, there was
eleven inches that day, and they average it out.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah, Okay, that's all there is to it.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
Huh.

Speaker 7 (29:42):
Now. The only thing I'd like to do is when
when they have all these six or seven entities out
there standing around one little box, I think it's time
to call elon muffins.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
There's a whole lot of people out there working to
come up with one number. And the thing that the
thing I was talking to Mike about too, that that
makes me kind of not suspicious because everybody's supposed to
be doing this the same way, and there should be
standards for all of that. But a long long time ago, okay,
let's say, a long long time ago, way before computers,

(30:17):
way before there was anything but just eyeballs on the
rain gauge. I can I can guarantee you that somebody
went to one of those rain gauges one day and
looked at it and it had like a quarter of
an inch of rain in it. And he's got his
little tablet there where he's supposed to mark down the
amount of rain that day, and he goes, you know,

(30:37):
this thing only shows a quarter of an inch, but
it poured at my house all night. It had to
have been one point five inches and writes it down.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
It's just been an evolution of technology, that's all it is.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
And so there's some the accuracy improves alongside technology, and
that's I mean, that was kind of my point. Really,
it's are more reliable now than it was back then.
It was eyeballs, you know. Yeah, it looks about like
an inch. Just write that down. Now it's zero point
nine oh six inches of rain or whatever. And we're

(31:12):
we're very tight on it. And I don't need any
more rain on my lawn right now.

Speaker 7 (31:16):
Rick, when you go across a bridge from now, just start.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
Yeah, I'll see them side of you'll.

Speaker 7 (31:23):
See a box, sure this. You may see some guy
out there, so that that'll kind of help you. But
that's how they come up with it, because I've kind
of been the pool on them.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah, that's your that's your wheelhouse.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
There.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
A lot of them have solar panels on them. That's
how they charge them up.

Speaker 9 (31:36):
You know.

Speaker 7 (31:37):
Well, that's that's how they that's how they that's that's
their powers. But anyway, I just want to wish everybody
out there listening that applies to happy mothers. Yea, thanks uh,
I like you said, well could we We wouldn't be
here without them there if we can?

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, buddy, every chance you get, man, I had one,
at least two. I can think of friends who lost
their moms in the past year at least, And yeah,
I feel sorry for for people who are in that
position because I wasn't. It wasn't that long ago that
I was in it. And it's really hard for for
years afterward to to just look around and say, let's

(32:16):
go to my Oh yeah that wait, we can't. That's
that's tough. Man.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
The last the last pictures I have in my office
of my mother, who is nanny six when now, he said,
when she got when she was nanny one. I got
a picture of her on the back of my four
wheeler and she got in an elevated deer stand with me.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Get out.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
There's a big hogway down here. You're going to shoot him.
That that's the absolute truth.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
That's a good one to have. That's a good outdoors
mom right there, man, Thank you Rick. How about that man?
Mom climbing up in that deer stand probably wasn't the
first one. I guarantee you that. And I do know
quite a few guys whose moms were really outdoorsy. And
like I said, my wife's not outdoorsy. My mother wasn't outdoorsy.

(33:14):
Both of them raised in city confines and without a
whole lot of outdoors influence in their families. I was
just and my dad, really my dad didn't hunt. My
mom certainly didn't. My dad took me fishing. That was
his contribution to my introduction to the outdoors. And we

(33:34):
went a lot. In fairness to him, he took me
a lot of places that as a little kid were
just amazing and exciting. In hindsight, they were pretty close
to home, most of them, unless we were on vacation
down in Florida at my grandparents' house, and took me
places when we went to visit my other grandmother over
in New Orleans, and we would go we would find

(33:55):
some place to go fish. It was what is the
name of that park right in the middle of right
in the middle of New Orleans. Oh, it's on the
tip of my tongue, and I can't think of it.
I will as soon as I go to break here.
I'm trying. I'm trying to get it before I go.
In Audubon Park. I believe it is. And there's a
lake there that back in those days, anybody who wanted
to go fish could. And I don't know where my

(34:17):
dad found it, but he found a cane pole and
then he just dragged me down there and we'd go fish.
Did that a lot around here, little bitty places, little
places he found. There was a bait stand out on
ninety in Stafford, and it was there for one hundred years.
I guess it seemed like it every time we walked in.

(34:38):
There's a little bitty place. It had minnow tanks that
had earthworms and all kinds of just terminal tackle. A
trash can full of cane poles out front, by the way.
I need somebody who can provide about two dozen cane
poles to a kid's fishing tournament for a good friend
of mine, guy named Greg Burlocker's putting this thing on.

(35:00):
They put it on for years and instead of instead
of using rods and little rods and reels that don't
always work right for the kids. So wyon't you just
make it all cane poles and then just just chum
the heck out of the area where they're going to fish,
so all the little fish in that lake will be there.
He goes, that's a great idea. Where can I get
cane poles? And I thought it would be easier than

(35:21):
it is. But if somebody wants to at least tell
me where to get them, or maybe donate two dozen
cane poles to a really good cause and getting some
kids out fishing, let me know, will you on the
way out here? American Shooting Centers out there west Timber
Parkway between Katie and Highway six is they're there this morning.
If mom wants to go burn a little powder, take

(35:43):
her out to American Shooting Centers. They've been there for
the better part of I would say thirty maybe thirty
five thirty years, let's call it. I was out there
for the groundbreaking of that facility, and all it's done
since it opened up is just get bigger and better
and bigger. And now it's owned by a guy named
Ed Riggey, and Ed is a Sporting Clays fanatic and

(36:06):
very good at it too. Don't get caught up in
a bet with Ed on Sporting Clays. Okay, I'm just
trying to help you in your wallet. But Ed took
it upon himself to improve the place to where it
now has three complete Sporting Clays courses. It has ten
trap and skeep feels. It has five stands setups across
the property. It has a beginner's wing shooting area. There

(36:29):
is the pop up silhouette range that's kind of nestled between.
I think it's between two hundred and four hundred yards
on the rifle ranges or rifle range pistol starts at
five yards. That's home defense stuff right there. That's in
your face. Got to get off an accurate shot right
now to save your family. And they've got instructors out

(36:51):
there who can help you with that too. If you
want to own a gun to protect your family, you
also owe it to yourself and your family to know
how to safely operate that thing under stress and just
make it second nature to you to be handling that gun.
And if you're not practicing, you can't do that. If
you're not getting instruction you're not going to get better,

(37:14):
so take advantage of the instruction they have out there
in all the shooting disciplines really shotguns, rifles, handguns, everything
that you're doing. Everything you're shooting pretty much, you can
be a better shot. Then you need to be safe
out there too, and they make sure that everybody's safe.
If a range officer comes up to you and says, hey,
don't do that, I said, man, I'm so sorry. I

(37:36):
didn't realize I had done that, and I'll never do
it again. That's mostly what they want is for you
to have a good, fun, safe experience out there. It's
just enjoying the shooting sports and get some instruction if
you need it. Make yourself a better shot tomorrow than
you are today. Americashooting Centers dot Com is a website

Doug, you went great.

Speaker 9 (42:07):
I think they ended up with a total of three
hundred and twenty seven kids. Wow, and everybody had a
good time. They handed out all kind of door prizes.
I think the biggest fish was a black drum that
probably went about.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Three and a half four pounds. That's great. Don't don't
say it like that, man, Just tell you the biggest
fish was a three and a half pound drum.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
You got it?

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, Because you're you kind of Jada. You've seen so
many good fish come through there that that just that
disappoints you a little bit. And this is kind of
a good thing for adults to remember. We've seen bigger fish,
but the kids don't know that.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Oh yeah, yeah, good for you. Man.

Speaker 9 (42:45):
It was a little girl that the fish wasn't much bigger.
She wasn't much bigger than the fish was. That's a
that's a fair fight. Yeah, man, cute as a button,
had a good time. It was it was awesome. We
probably had forty kids or so that had a limit
of thirty fish with man, when forty of those limits.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Were all piggy perchs, that's okay, that's still It's a
lot of fish for a little kid to catch, and
a lot.

Speaker 9 (43:09):
Of times what they'll do is those fish that are
that are brought into the way in, they'll save them
in a cooler and donate them to one of the
offshore captains. Oh nice, either used for bait if they're
big enough, or chum. Yeah yeah, yeah, for when they
go on the offshore trips.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yep. That's always handed to have more bait.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (43:27):
They actually had two different two ties. We had one
of the age groups had a tie for second. The
other one had a tie for third. Oh man, he
did competition, winning weights in both age categories with the
same four point four okay, and for that four point
four pounds they won a laptop computer. Dang man, that's
pretty good and a trophy and a goodie bag. I

(43:49):
need a laptop. Can I enter next year? You're gonna
have to get on your knees.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Man, and just beg for the laptop. That's all I
can do. You're disqualified, sir, you're about you're about sixty
years late.

Speaker 9 (44:05):

a bald spot at six nah, all right, Well, I'm
glad it went well. I'm glad you had good weather
and three hundred something kids. That's that's three hundred something
smiling faces at the end of the day, for sure.

Speaker 9 (44:26):
And some a few of them that came up on
the stage when they were talking to Phillipsatafe the port
director after away the fish. She always interviews each monk, sure,
and several of them that was their first time to
ever fish.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
That's so good, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (44:39):
And it's great to indoctor nate and get the kids
and BOMs in the outdoors.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Absolutely absolutely, it is.

Speaker 7 (44:46):
All right.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I gotta take this break at the top. You keep
doing what you're doing down there, Kevin, Man. I appreciate
all of that.

Speaker 9 (44:52):
That you do for those kids, buddy, And I'll let
you know when the next one's coming up.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Please, Yeah, all right, man, I'll see buddy. Take care done,
all right, I'm gonna when we get back from this
break at the top of the hour, I'm gonna tell
you about something I saw that was pretty dog on
funny on Facebook on the way out. I'm gonna tell
you about El Kubano Cigars. Nothing funny about that. This
is this is Manny Lopez's baby, Okay. He and his
dad started this company years ago, and they are in

(45:19):
Texas City. They have a smoking lounge there. They have
another lounge of smoking cigar smoking lounge in League City
right basically down the highway down the Golf Freeway from there.
But the Texas City place is also a manufacturing place. Now,
if you think of factories, you think of big, giant

(45:39):
buildings with smoke billowing out of smoke stacks on the
side of the building and all of that. This is
not that. This is a cigar rolling factory. And there
are only a handful of employees, probably less than a
half a dozen employees working for Manny, working with Manny
and rolling cigars on a daily basis. They ship all

(46:01):
over the country cigars in quantities you wouldn't imagine that
four people could do. I don't know how they do it. Honestly,
they make one hundred and something. I think it's one
hundred and fifty different specific blends of tobaccos, and almost
all of the tobacco they use is Cuban seed that's
being grown in Central America. Now, not that much difference.

(46:23):
And the quality of the product they put out, based
on what I've had in response from people who I've
handed samples of their work, is excellent. And they're because
they're made right here, and you can order them right here.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
You can.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
You can either get on the phone and order them
for Manny and he'll ship them to you. Or for
a fun, interesting day, drive down to Texas City, go
over there to it's right on Main Street in Texas City.
You go down there and you go inside and say,
please let me watch somebody roll a cigar. And right
in the back of the back of the smoking lounge,
there's a big plate glass window and a table, and

(47:01):
that's where somebody's probably going to be rolling cigars right
then and there. He will come here, or somebody who
works with him, will come right to your party, to
your barbecue cookoff, which would be an awesome thing to
have at cookoffs, golf tournament, any kind of a charity event,
whatever you want, they will come out there, set up

(47:21):
a table, a little canopy they can sit under and
roll cigars for your guests for as long as you
want them out there. That's a really cool thing. I've
been seeing some of the places where Manny and his
crew have been lately. He sends pictures, he puts them
on Facebook, and there was one that I would swear
was at some really swanky party somewhere. I don't know

(47:42):
who the recipients of those cigars were, but a lot
of people were getting outstanding cigars that day, for sure.
All he can even because they're a manufacturer, this is
something else he can do that most almost nobody else
will do. If you call and say, hey, I want
a box or two boxes or three boxes of cigars
for or my clients or whatever, he will put specific

(48:04):
company related or ranch related or whatever bands on those
cigars that he makes for you. He did that for
us at iHeart got hold of the iHeart Loogo, I
sent it over to him and I get back these
this beautiful box of cigars that all had the iHeart Loogo.
I can't tell you how cool that is when you
hand a client two or three of these cigars with

(48:26):
that iHeart Loogo. Do that for your company, Do that
for your clients, and see if you don't get a
pretty cool response for the cigars from the cigar smokers.
Lcubano Cigars dot com. That's the website. Start there. You
can find all about Manny and everything they do over there,
right at that website Elcubano Cigars dot com. All right,

(48:48):
second hour of the program starts right now before I
get to Roy, which I'm going to do very quickly.
A reminder I overheard during that commercial break somebody talking
about telling you guys where to go if you want
to reach advertisers for your company. Don't call them, just
call me. Don't email them, just email me. I can

(49:11):
do the same thing that those guys can do, only
I'm here and I probably know your business better than
they would, and I would be more than happy to
help you. In fact, I've got a new member joining
the family within a week or so, and as soon
as as soon as the ink is dry on the deal,
I'll have that person on for about eight or ten minutes.

(49:33):
That's one thing I offer to my new clients and
new endorsements that most of the other people don't or won't,
And that's about eight or ten minutes to come on
and talk to you guys my audience about what they do,
so that you know them a little better. And because
you'll have a chance to actually listen to them tell

(49:54):
their story, you'll realize that the reason I brought them
into the families because as I trust him, and that
way you can to So just email me Doug Pike
at iHeartMedia dot com if you if you would like
to become part of the family, or you know somebody
who maybe could or would. Uh, let's get to Roy.
Shall we see what's up over him?

Speaker 6 (50:16):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Roy, what's up?

Speaker 4 (50:18):
What's going on?

Speaker 13 (50:19):
Doug? My first list Uh, to other moms out there,
Happy Mother's Day?

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 13 (50:25):
I guess earlier I was in and out of there
the truck doing some honey dudes, and so I'm back
in the truck and I heard your guys talking about
rings cues. My situation is I'm a saltwater fisherman, okay,
and I'm a I'm a pure rat sort.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
You and me, i'd thirty years holy cos.

Speaker 13 (50:44):
Yeah, No, that's what That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
A question.

Speaker 13 (50:49):
I have access to Lake Houston. I have access to
a part of it where he has. Maybe maybe I'll
say quote of a mile a bowhead.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Oh nice.

Speaker 13 (50:59):
Oh over here, you're in Kingwood, and I know you
were talking about these range cubes. Of the other people
listening to you, I might want to.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Know, sure, it's where did you get them?

Speaker 13 (51:10):
Or is there a process to making them?

Speaker 2 (51:14):
The easiest way unless you want to set up an
elaborate manufacturing facility in your garage, just to go to
a feed store. Now, a lot of a lot of
bait stores will sell them. But what they're doing is
they're going to the feed store and buying them and
then bringing them back and repackaging them. But it's the same.
Range cube is a range cube. It's cattle feed basically,

(51:34):
it's what it is, and it's it's all vegetable matter.
I don't think there's no meat in it. I don't think. Boy,
you just just take a half a bucket full and
throw them out there where you're going to be casting
your bait in a little while, and then whatever you
want to use for bait, you use that. Now I'm
fine tuned that process a little more and save myself

(51:55):
from having to go to the to the feed store
because there's not one really close to me where I
live in sugar Land. I gotta all the way down
to Arcla for it. But all you have to do
is go to the grocery store and buy a gallon
of corn, just plain old kernel corn. The cheaper the better.
And if you're gonna do it that way, you're really
serious about chumming up a big spot, go ahead and

(52:18):
pour in buy generic vanilla extract. Don't buy the mccormicks.
That stuff's like liquid gold Man. They charge to the
teeth for that. But there's a generic that they do
in HGB where you can get kind of a probably
about ten ounces of it for a few bucks. And
I'd on a gallon of corn, I'd probably pour in
half a bottle of that stuff and put it in

(52:40):
a gallon zip lock bag with that vanilla in there,
and just leave it marinating all the way to the
fishing spot. And then when you get there, just sling
handfuls of that corn out there and it'll do absolutely
the same job on attracting fish, believe me.

Speaker 13 (52:57):
Oh okay, well, I'm gonna give it a try. If
at any uh any catfish does need some pictures.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Yeah, do that seriously, Try the corn thing, really corn
and vanilla extract imitation vanilla. The catfish can't tell the difference,
and sling a generous amount out there, and then use
about a number on number four, number six hook and
put three or four corner kernels of it on your hook. Now,
if you, if you, if you're going to really spring

(53:24):
for big money, make sure you get the bigger kernels
of corn. Because the cheapest can of corn is gonna
have little kernels. But if you spend about eight cents more,
can you can get the premium stuff that's now Now,
you're really just flawting your wealth when you do that.

Speaker 13 (53:39):
You know, yeah, okay, well appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
All right, Yeah, good look, yeah, send me pictures. You're
gonna catch something, for sure, send me picture than you Yeah,
thank you. Okay, Oh, it's kind of funny. The what
the other thing, and I hope you're still listening. Uh,
the other thing that you're gonna catch doing that is
carp And I don't know how many of well, I'm
sure they've got some big carp over there. Yeah, on

(54:05):
Lake Houston and Lake Conroe and like all of them,
all the big lakes have big carp and they will
throw a party. It's kind of like throwing a barbecue
cook off. Everybody's gonna show up and they're all gonna eat.
And I've caught on that kernel of corn stuff. Good heavens,
I have caught. I've caught plenty of catfish. And if

(54:26):
you throw enough corn out there and you leave it
long enough, you'll start catching catfish. And you can feel
the corn kernels in their bellies, you'll catch them. You'll
catch My son and one of his buddies had to
tag team about a fifteen pound carp out of a
little lake we used to fish when they were about
five or six years old. Rainbow trout in the wintertime,

(54:46):
they'll eat that stuff. There's all every sunfish on the
planet will eat that corn. So there's a lot of
opportunity to catch a lot of fish if you throw
that stuff out there and just wait for a little bit.
Try to get it in a sh shady area on
a super hot day, and don't throw too much corn
out beyond casting range, because then that becomes difficult. You

(55:07):
can fish it under a cork, you can fish it
on the bottom, it doesn't really matter. They'll find it
and they'll eat it. Very quickly before the break the Astros.
Oh my god, if you missed the train wreck yesterday,
just be glad you did. Poor Lance mccullors. I feel
badly for him because his first real big league starred,
after all, like three hundreds or no, nine hundred days

(55:29):
or something like that, being away, he got shelled. He
got absolutely shelled, gave up. I don't know how many
were his and how many were the other guys, but
there was all. There was a pitch change made in
the first inning, and when the dust settled, right about
the time I got home from being out hitting balls yesterday,

(55:49):
I flip on the TV and I see that we're
down ten to nothing. I thought, oh, man, this game's
not really going well. I hope it's almost over. And
I look down and we're in the top of the
first inning at ten to nothing. Now they did make
They tried to make it back. I think they ended
up scoring eight or nine runs in the game. But man,
when you spot a big league team ten runs, you're done.

(56:12):
There's almost no coming back. They almost did, but they didn't.
So anyway, that's that all the way out to this break.
I'll tell you about Timber Creek Golf club down there
on FM twenty three fifty one in Friends, what about
I don't know, three four miles west of the Gold Freeway.
Very easy to find, twenty seven holes, which is nice
if you want to take a bigger group down there

(56:34):
for a charity tournament perhaps, or if you want to
just make sure that you and a buddy can get
out if you go down there, because they're able to
put out in the morning rotation. They're putting them out
two foursomes at a time, and that makes it possible
to get out more players, and on a day like
this is going to be, or tomorrow is going to be,

(56:55):
if you have no Mother's Day obligations, or if mom
just wakes up and says, YEA, let's all go play
golf called timber Creek. I bet you they can get
you out. Great food, great people down there, super teaching
staff led by a guy named JJ Woods. I need
to get down there and shake his hand and talk
him out of some tips on my short game.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
I'm dying.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Timber Creek Golf Club dot com is the website timber
Creek Golf Club dot com. Nine eighteen on Sports Talk
seven ninety slash Mother's Day, I hope you all have
made your plans. I hope you all have all your
shopping done for Mother's Day, whatever that may be, And
have you had something good's gonna happen for mom. That's

(57:38):
the bottom line. Uh, let me get the faux Pro
and then I'm gonna get back to a couple of
other things that I are on my list for the day.
Stand by and there we go. What's up, faux Pro.

Speaker 8 (57:49):
Morning morning, sir more nursing a headache from hades watching
this elite series final?

Speaker 2 (57:55):
Yeah, how about that TV bass fishing? How about that
can't catch them if you can't see them?

Speaker 8 (58:02):
Yeah, I know they are guys right now over one
hundred pounds.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
And it's just outrage it really.

Speaker 8 (58:10):
Flipping and sight fishing. So that's that's the part of
the show I enjoyed watching obviously.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
But yeah, they're gonna have to end up doing two
divisions and just absolutely say okay, if you fish this
division zero none of that stuff. If you fish over here,
you can use it all, because otherwise there there's just
no way to make it equitable.

Speaker 11 (58:31):
Oh yeah, they got some elite serious pros.

Speaker 8 (58:33):
Now. They are also fishing what they call the NPFL
the National Professional Fishing League and it's a now forward
faces so good tournament and it pays one hundred grand.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
So yeah, that'll pull some people over there.

Speaker 8 (58:45):
Kick off, but they should I did have a oh yeah,
for sure me. But I did have a little Mother's
day kind of a deal today, I guess. So of
course I lost my parents, so it's been it's been
a while, several years. But but I didn't get nighty
one years out of both of them, so that was good.

Speaker 11 (59:02):
It's awesome.

Speaker 8 (59:02):
But you know, you know, back in the day, I
guess early early two thousands, I did a little fish
fish bass Master tour for about six years of Federation
stuff like that, a little bit of professional fishing, and
uh if I was within an hour and a half
and was having a good day.

Speaker 11 (59:15):
Of course, back then you couldn't text, you call it
a landline.

Speaker 8 (59:18):
I'd call my dad and tell them, hey, I'm having
a pretty good day. You know, you always wanted me
to check in midday, how you te tournament? Going black
blah blocks. They were my biggest fans, love them to dead.
You know, they they thought I was to them, I
was Kevin van Dam and uh I wish I thought
that way. But they did, so that's all that mattered.
But I call them mid day, I have a good day,
Paul thic. I'm gonna finish top five. I may have
a chance to win this. I'd go to the way in.

Speaker 11 (59:40):
Nine times out of ten, they'd be there.

Speaker 8 (59:41):
They'd get in then and they'd go to the way
in and they saw they saw a couple of second
places and actually one victory one time that I had.

Speaker 11 (59:49):
But but it was cool to have, you know, have
the folks, you know, go out of the way to
drive out there.

Speaker 8 (59:53):
There were you know, if we had had social media
back then, my mom would have been my captain. I'd
probably be killing Dan damn. She just smered it all
over the interweb.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
So that's awesome, man. Yeah, that's so so good to
have that support behind you. You know, it makes you
feel better, makes you work a little harder too, because
you don't want to disappoint you know.

Speaker 11 (01:00:14):
Oh yeah, those days I didn't really want to go.
My mom be like, get out there. They're not better
than you. You don't they're not doing anything you can't do. Okay, Mom,
I'll get out there and do it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:23):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:00:23):
It's like a big kid out there, sure, but she is.
She was that way, so, you know, until she died.
She was ninety one. I was in my forties or whatever,
fifty You still treat me like I was for you,
Like today, she'd be over here to have chicken noodle soup,
Cable's chicken.

Speaker 11 (01:00:35):
Noodle soup and crackers. You know, make make sure I
you know, stand by, stand by food. But good for you,
good times, good memories.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:00:44):
I do have one of my dad on one of
my videos on my on my YouTube page, so I'm
glad I got to make a video with him before
he passed up.

Speaker 6 (01:00:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Man, that's important. It's important. All that's important.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
On your corn thing.

Speaker 11 (01:00:57):
Before we go on your corn thing. Have you ever
experimented with homony?

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
No, I haven't, But that's a bigger kernel, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:01:04):
Yeah, what if that'd be got too.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
I mean you put them side by side and ninety
percent of the people in the world couldn't tell you
which was which. Oh yeah, and fifty percent had never
heard of homony.

Speaker 11 (01:01:17):
Oh exactly, exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:01:19):
Yeah, they have it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
You know, I may just upgrade. I was kind of
joking a minute ago about yeah, getting up at the
and buying the premium kernel corn for about a nickel
more can. But I might just go all out and
spend another dime on a can and get homony. That's
not a bad I.

Speaker 11 (01:01:37):
Don't know if we put it. Was it chili? People
put hobbedy in. There's something something my dad put chili
in as a kid. I don't know if it's chili
or something.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
I for you gumbo, Maybe gumbo. I be gooting gumbo too.

Speaker 11 (01:01:47):
Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:01:49):
That kind of stuff's good anywhere anywhere it landshah throwing
a bowl of cereal and make it better.

Speaker 11 (01:01:54):
That's it, man, we'll get back, try to get to
go away and oh.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Yeah, buddy, yeah, you'll watch that for a little while. Yeah,
you got it. Many audios all right. Let me oh,
by the way, I got a story from David earlier
today and he just said, here we go again, and

(01:02:19):
it's out of Yellowstone National Park. And guess what happened
a week ago today? A week ago today was the
first time this year, which maybe we're getting a little
bit smarter as a world, was the first time this
year that somebody got gored by a bison because they

(01:02:39):
got too close when well, never mind. I'm not even
going to ask when people will learn not to not
to treat wild animals as though they are in a
petting zoo, because Yellowstone National Park is not a petting zoo,
and those animals are on high alert all the time.

(01:03:02):
Bison they're big, giant things, they really are. They're big animals,
and they're strong animals, and they don't want to be
messed with, especially the big males. They they'll knock you
down and gore you and and stomp you just as
in a blink of an eye, if you do anything
that upsets him. They seem very docile when you see

(01:03:25):
him grazing or something like that. And everybody wants to
get a picture with the bison, and then somebody gets
too close and they start screaming foul when it's not
the it's not the animal's fault that they got hammered
like this guy did. And fortunately he's gonna be okay.
But he made a really dumb mistake. He made a

(01:03:48):
really dumb mistake and got too close and gets the
story says he got gored. It doesn't say that that
he you know, that his chest was punctured or anything
like that, and it did say that he was treated
and released pretty much almost at the same time. So
what I suspect he is at this point, a week

(01:04:08):
removed from the incident, is just still really really sore
in the ribs and he's darn lucky that thing didn't
just stomp a mudhole in him because he had it coming.
You don't mess with wild animals, You just don't do that.
I saw a story alligators. There were two people I

(01:04:29):
think in Florida, or at least one one got yanked
out of a canoe in Florida and killed by an alligator.
And then there were also I mentioned this yesterday, there
was an incident where it's presumed three bears. They found
these three bears, very black bears actually in Florida that
were pretty close to where a man, a very old

(01:04:53):
man and his dog were found dead and what I
think happened there, and they ended up killing the bears
just to make sure it didn't happen again now that
they attack somebody, because there typically you can run a
bear off, a black bear anyway by making a lot
of noise and just letting them know you're a human
presence and a big, loud, obnoxious person that'll usually run

(01:05:16):
a black bear off. But I think what might have
happened here was this guy was so old he couldn't
muster whatever it would take to scare those bears, especially
three of them, and then his dog trying to protect him,
was making a lot of noise that the bears probably
perceived as a threat, and so they ended up attacking.

(01:05:38):
Let's go to the Philadelphia Cricket Club, which doesn't sound
like a place where you'd find a golf golf tournament
going on, but that's where the truest Championship is and
this is the first time the tour has visited this club.
It's an aw tilling Hast design from many, many many
years ago, the with a whiss, the hicking course as

(01:06:01):
it's called at Philadelphia Cricket Club and the leaderboard let
me get back to it. Hold up, messed up?

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
Where did it go? There?

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
It is step Straka Stepstraca is at fourteen under par
along with Shane Lowry. They go out at one o'clock today,
Justin Thomas and Keith Mitchell both at eleven. Mitchell was
on top yesterday. He slipped a little bit, unfortunately not
a lot, but he shot one over which didn't do
him any good. They are the two of them, Thomas

(01:06:32):
and Mitchell at eleven and then Hideki Matsuyama shoot sixty
three yesterday and pushes himself into fifth place by himself
the eighths. I don't see them catching a pair of fourteens.
Even it'd be tough to catch the elevens because they're
all playing the same golf course. It's an interesting design too.

(01:06:52):
I saw a lot of aerial views of that place
yesterday and true to form from back in the day
when this course was being built by tilling Hast It's
really tight. It's jam packed into a fairly small acreage.
The walks between tea boxes and greens are very short,
and you could It's a great walking course, is what

(01:07:15):
it is. Fantastic walking course. Some of the modern courses now,
especially the ones that have neighborhoods around them and through
them and all that, you might end up walking a
quarter mile between from one tea box to the next.
I know a couple of places I play. Some of
the walks are just ridiculously long. And when when the

(01:07:36):
when the tour comes to town, a lot of times
they have to ferry people between tea box between green
and next tea box by carts because it's just too
long a walk, and it's it's a different era. A
Bravern Country Club was built back in the kind of
small track era that the walks between between tees and

(01:07:56):
greens there aren't terribly long. I can remember I hadn't
played over there in a while. I need to go
see that new track, and I've got a guy who
can do that for me. I'll flip him over to
Blackhawk if he'll take me out at Braver, and I
need to call him this afternoon. I haven't played that
layout since they changed it last and I want to
look at it. I really do. It's a great facility

(01:08:17):
in any event, the truest championship, first place or first
time over there is going off this afternoon or going
off now and then we'll conclude this afternoon. And my
gut tells me if I had to bet, if I
were a betting man, looking at the scores, looking at
the conditions, I'm I want to say Justin Thomas. I

(01:08:41):
really want to say Justin Thomas. He's kind of due.
He's got three solid rounds under his belt, and he's
yea if he can do that again, and maybe a
couple of more shots. He's got a chance. Struck in Lowry.
They don't have to come back to him, but he
doesn't need either one of them to run away, and

(01:09:02):
I don't think they will today. I think what the
pens they'll have out today probably be a pretty good
chance for Justin Thomas to have a swing at it,
at least be in contention going down the eighteenth fairway
and with just one group behind him, and if he
can take the lead before then and force one of
them to birdie to tie him or something like that.

(01:09:23):
I like his chances. I could be terribly wrong. I
thought the Astros were gonna win yesterday too, but that
didn't happen. I did it tend to nothing in the
first inning. That's that's just so close to that's so
close to pee wee baseball drop ten. In fairness, it happens,
It's happened in a lot of there were the statisticians

(01:09:44):
were going crazy yesterday trying to figure out when it
happened last, and what the most run scored in the
first inning, all of that. They were yapping about that
all the way through the game. I remember, personally a
game when I was in high school where we were
down nine to nothing after the first inning, and our
coach very calmly told us, hey, look man, you dug

(01:10:06):
yourself a hole. Okay, you dug yourself as a hole.
But here's the deal. We've got six more innings playing
seven innings in high school, got six more innings to
make this up. And we ended up winning that game,
I want to say, like fourteen to eleven or something
crazy like that. We tightened up on defense, the pitching
got better, and we ended up winning a game when

(01:10:28):
we spotted the other team essentially nine runs in the
top of the first inning. Very demoralizing, if you let
it be. It's also if you let it be inspirational.
You ratchet up a little bit, you gut check yourself.
It's kind of like making a triple bogey on the
first hole. Okay, you made a triple bogey. You knew

(01:10:49):
you were going to make a bad score somewhere in
the round. Now you've gotten it out of the way,
Relax a little bit, don't worry about it. You'll make
three pars somewhere around there to balance all that out
to half a bogie a hole and then maybe who knows.
You make a couple of more, you make a birdie
or two, and you shoot a good score. In my fantasy,

(01:11:12):
Shooter's Corner Palmer Highway a twenty ninth street down in
Texas City, Jerry and JTK, the father and son who've
owned that place since it opened up forty something years ago,
are two of the best gunsmiths I've ever met, two
of the best builders of custom rifles I've ever met.
It's an old school gun store, period into story, That's
what it is. It doesn't have washing machines, doesn't have

(01:11:32):
tennis shoes, doesn't have sport coats, none of that stuff.
It just has guns, ammo, and hunting stuff, and competitive
shooting stuff, and law enforcement stuff and home protection stuff,
all of which are gun related. Shooter's Corner's gonna get
you into the right hardware, gonna get you the amo
you need, even for those boutique calibers they carry, Jerry,

(01:11:56):
if it's been made in this country in the last
one hundred years, Jerry's got ammo for it. You can
pretty much bet on it. Whether you are a serious
shooter and been in the game for a long long time,
or you're brand new to guns, Shooter's Corner's gonna get
you in the right stuff at a great price. And
if you wear a badge for a living, which almost
every time i'm in there, I see somebody from law

(01:12:17):
enforcement pass through, either to buy something, to stop and
tell a story because they're on a little break or whatever.
And that's something else you'll find when you go in there,
is that if you want to hear stories about the
shooting sports, just stand there and listen. If you want
to tell stories, stand there and listen till somebody's through
and say, well, listen to this. This is what happened

(01:12:38):
to me, and they will oblige by staying and listening
to your story. It's just that friendly. It's kind of
like it's a barber shop for shooting sports people. How
about that, an old school barber shop for shooting people.
That's what it is. And if you're a shooter, you
know what I'm in an old school guy like me,
you know what I'm talking about. These shooters Corner dot

Thank you for listening. Just read a disturbing story from
the Houston Chronicle Online the E edition. Houston Astros starter
Lance mccullors Junior received threats against his and his family's

(01:13:24):
lives over social media after his outing Saturday against the
Cincinnati Reds. He and manager Joe Aspotus said, that's being
looked into by everybody who should be looking into something
like that. And why anyone would even how anyone could

(01:13:44):
even think of doing that is is far beyond me. Frankie,
what do you think of something like that? What's wrong
with our world? Can you pin it down for me?
I think when you have the ability to.

Speaker 14 (01:14:01):
Just say whatever you want online for example, m h,
I think that that allows you or it shouldn't allow you.
But but people don't behave like you would if you're
talking to somebody in person. Yeah, free free speech is
is a good thing. It's a healthy thing to move

(01:14:21):
a society forward. But and but there has to be
a line drawn when it involves somebody's personal safety that
specifically points out a single person to be for that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
That's that's wrong. Absolutely, that is I shouldn't never get personally.
I'm disappointed to see that. I really am seven one

up a little while ago, and I thought, it's a
baseball game. It's gonna be okay. The thing I saw

(01:14:59):
and I forgot talk about a minute ago. The thing
I saw online was a guy talking to his wife
and she looked at him and says, if you had
to lose an arm or a leg, which would you choose?
And he thought about it for a second.

Speaker 6 (01:15:18):
He goes.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
A leg and she said why and he said, because
I need my arms for fishing, to which she said,
one of my coworkers set a leg too, but he
was going to use his arms to hug his wife,
and she kind of turns and starts to walk away,

(01:15:40):
and under his breath he goes, m, he's probably never
been fishing. I thought that was really funny. I did,
and I, you know, fishing is my therapy. I would
probably have invested a half a million dollars in trying
to make myself feel better or if I didn't get
to go fish every now and then. And fortunately I

(01:16:03):
have a few places I can go where it's we're
The fishing isn't world class but you don't need world class.
You just need to fish. And that's the what some
people don't realize is that there's a difference. Let's go
see what's on Will's mind. Will, what's up, buddy?

Speaker 6 (01:16:22):
Hey, good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 7 (01:16:23):
I saw that.

Speaker 15 (01:16:24):
I saw that lancemc colors thing this morning, and Uh,
to me, it just it blows my mind because one,
I mean, I am a diehard, uh sports fan, I'm
a sur I've got Astros memorabilia. I've done interviews with
the Astros many times. I cried when they won the

(01:16:45):
World Series down to seventeen. But then again, it's just
a game, and it's it's grown men playing a sport
that they love and yeah, getting paid a ton of
money for it. And so for somebody that you know,
people fighting at stadiums or even going down to parents

(01:17:05):
like screaming and trying to fight in minor league games,
how about little league games that yeah, that's not minor league.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
Yeah, and it's just a sports.

Speaker 15 (01:17:19):
And for people to call in and or threaten someone's
family over something they have no control over, uh, that
is just mind boggling to me. And the only thing,
the only thing I can think of is is people
are probably gambling a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
Exactly what I was gonna see. Yeah, you mentioned the
word money a minute a minute ago, and that's exactly
what it is that cost him somebody. That costs that
person a lot of money somehow probably, and they're upset
over that and maybe just need to kind of reset.
And look, you know you can if you had enough
money that you could lose a lot on a game
like that, then you can probably make more money.

Speaker 4 (01:17:59):
But you got to.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Remember you're betting on a game, and I got a
hunch that's a big part of it. You're exactly right.

Speaker 15 (01:18:06):
Yeah, And if you don't have the money, like, don't
risk it to the to the point where you should
know ahead of time, like, hey, if I lose this,
I'm gonna be in a big hole.

Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
And then if you get in a big hole.

Speaker 15 (01:18:17):
Like, don't go threaten someone's family because then you're not
only gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Be broke, you're gonna be broke while in jail too.
So it's a mess.

Speaker 15 (01:18:23):
It's just sad that people it's sad that people take
it to that. And uh, I mean lancem the Colors,
his his his wife, his kids. I mean they're little kids.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
It's just somebody who's angry, and they probably they're probably
more sober now and more clear headed now than when
they sent that whatever message was sent.

Speaker 6 (01:18:44):
Yeah, and uh and lm J.

Speaker 15 (01:18:45):
You know, he even said he's like, man, I never
thought I was gonna be able to pitch again in
his life. And he said his daughter is the one
that talked him into it, and so he made a comeback.
And for somebody to think they're never gonna do something again,
and then they do it, and then they don't to
the point where you know, you helped one random person
or ten random people with some money, then you get that.

(01:19:05):
I mean, it just shows how classless some people are.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Yeah, we'll get past all this. So so what's on
your Mother's Day plate? You got plants?

Speaker 15 (01:19:13):
Well, I cooked my son's mom some uh some breakfast
this morning. And now we're going to take pictures of
our kids out at the park over by Single Ranch
High School.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
So nice we're gonna and it's a perfect day for it.
So well, I know, Oh, man, I can't wait. I'm
gonna I'm gonna get something outside today. Somehow I'm gonna
get my wife. Maybe we'll just go for a walk
at my age answer. That's a that's a good accomplishment today,
I think, will you know you could kill two.

Speaker 15 (01:19:43):
Birds of one stone and maybe just be like, hey,
it's such a pretty day. Would you like to drive
the golf cart while I go golfing?

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
You know, I swear to you. I brought that up
yesterday because she's talking about getting that side. So you
know we could we could go to the golf course
and you wouldn't even have to worry about, you know, anything,
Just just drive me around.

Speaker 15 (01:19:59):
Just it's just in joy the day, and get her
some cocktails to let her drive, and.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Then you yeah, I've kind of got a look. I
got that look. Yeah, she gets to choose right. Well,
thanks a lot, man, I appreciate the call, buddy, Yes, sir, audios.
All right, let's take this last break of the program,
and all the way out, I'm gonna tell you all
about Belleville Meat Market. Holy cal, I can't believe this
one's gone so fast, man, it really has. Belleville Meat

(01:20:26):
Market has been around for forty something years, okay, And
they like to talk about taking care of West Houston
or taking care of Houston, but honestly, I've been there
and I talked to people who are there, said where
are you're from? And they're from all over Texas, people
from half the state. Probably it's a big state, not
the whole state, but people from half the state go

(01:20:49):
to Belleville because they know what they're gonna get, and
what they're gonna get is delicious meat products. They're gonna
get beef, chicken and pork cutting process the way you
want it done. They're gonna get year around wild game processing.
If you happen to have an opportunity to go tip
over an exotic animal in this state and want it process,

(01:21:09):
that's a good place to take it. Got that full
menu of pecon smoke barbecue every single day of the
week ten am to seven pm. They've even got pulled
hot pulled pork and homemade hot dogs on that recipe
or on that on that menu now. And the big
thing they're doing is these chuck wagon patties they call them.

(01:21:30):
These are half pound beef patties that are seasoned up
just so in the Belleville way and loaded with cheddar cheese.
And I can't think of a better sounding paddy to
put on a grill than that. That just that's the
two things you want most in your burger, and there
they all all bundled up into one. Belleville MeetMarket dot Com.

(01:21:52):
They're on Highway thirty six, about fifteen minutes north of Sily,
fifteen minutes south of Hempstead. Very easy to find, just
going to the middle of town, roll down your windows,
and then just follow your nose. You'll find Belleville Meat Market.
Or you can order just about anything in the store
and have it delivered right to your door. Bellville MeetMarket
dot com. That's Belleville MeetMarket dot Com nine fifty two

(01:22:16):
on Sports Talk seven ninety Good heavens, how time flies
when you're having fun. This is this has been a
fast one, hunt, Frankie, what do you think? Yes, it has,
it's been. This is whiz by, it has. And we've
got just a couple of minutes ago, not that many,
but maybe what five?

Speaker 4 (01:22:34):
If that?

Speaker 9 (01:22:35):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
By the way, Mojo emailed to say, and I couldn't
agree more. We've always had angry, upset people in this world.
Now they just have a way to share that with
everybody else. And I hope, I hope that cooler heads
prevail this morning. Whoever whoever sent what they sent. I

(01:23:01):
really hope they kind of rethink it, because there's just
no reason for that. And if you're if you're doing
your sports wagering somewhere and it goes wrong, that's just
that's the breaks of the game. Probably not the first
time that person lost, and the next time they do it,
maybe they'll win, who knows. Who knows, but it almost

(01:23:25):
it does kind of sound like that. Otherwise, anybody who
realizes that we're just talking about people playing a game
and that they don't have a stake in it, then okay,
they'll get over it and hopefully everything will turn out.

Speaker 4 (01:23:41):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
I'm looking at the surfside Jetti Park video right now,
live from Saltwater Recon. Water's very calm. It's a little
bit off color, but there was a view I was
looking at a minute ago, looking across the channel, and
it almost it looked like the Quintana side was actually
pretty clean. I can't guarantee that, but it just looked

(01:24:02):
the light on it looked a lot better than the
other by the way my lake Monster quest. I went
and bought a couple of baits yesterday that I think
will be better for what I'm trying to catch. But
I may have to go to another store because the
store I went to didn't have near the selection that
I expected it to have, And so I'm gonna have

(01:24:25):
to go somewhere else and find what I'm looking for.
Probably I could find it in my garage if I
just go look. Honest honestly, what I'm looking for is there.
I just I wasn't at the house yesterday. An opportunity
knocked and gave me a chance to go look at
a sporting good store for what I want. What I

(01:24:45):
want is a bigger, mostly white, shad looking crank bait
that'll go down maybe four to six feet instead of
the two to two to four that most of what
I'm throwing is is running. Now, I want something that's
gonna go down there and kind of bang off the
bottom if I retrieve it pretty fast. And I think

(01:25:06):
that size bait is going to get the attention of
these fish that I've hooked three times now, and I'm
ninety percent sure going to be just big old, fat
toed catfish that have never never had to fight a
day in their lives already. Holy cow, Happy Mother's Day,

(01:25:27):
all of you. Back to kind of what I talked
about before if you are in the car riding with
mom now to some place where you're gonna get to
have fun, like a baseball tournament or volleyball or softball
or anything like that. All you kids, okay, I want
every one of you When you come up to bat.
Every time you come up to bat today, you turn around,

(01:25:49):
You take your helmet off for a second. You look
right at your mom and holler it from the top
of your lungs. You tell her thank you for everything
she does for you. Don't put a smile on her face.
I guarantee it.

Speaker 6 (01:25:59):
What might put a.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
Tiered a couple of eyes too. I would think that's
it for this week. I'll be back next week. When
we get back next week, I'm gonna ask you which
is the worst of all those crazy red bugs, ticks,
and ants and yellow jackets that we talked about yesterday.
I'm kind of curious to think which one you hate
the most. Get outside, have some fun with your family.
Happy Mother's Day, Audios, be safe too, please, Audios.
