Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's Doug Pike here. I am indeed welcome to
the Sunday edition of The Doug Pike Show. Greatly appreciate it.
We've got a lot to unpack again. Boy, yesterday that
was just a crazy day. We had so much to
do and so much to talk about. Yesterday squeezed three

(00:21):
hours worth of content into two hours to make room
for taking Vegas, which made room for ut football, which
correct me if I'm wrong, Oh you're not. You're not
wearing your Longhorn gear there, Frankie, Is that deliberate?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Are you disgusted with your team? I'm not disgusted. I'm
just you know, it's a little disappointing. But I heard
a little bit of the game and it just sounded
electric though it was fun.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was fun. I was sure it was, Yeah, I was.
I watched some of it and it was I don't
know if I'd call it electric unless you were shocked
that they didn't do better than they did. And you know, hey,
you got a brand new quarterback in there. He comes
from great stock, but that doesn't automatically qualify him to
be the second coming or the third coming of the

(01:14):
the Manning name. We'll just have to see if he
can recover from this. That's what's gonna tell you what
kind of quarterback he is. Whether he recovers from this
or whether he seems to let himself get down, that's
the key. He's gonna He's going to have to write
the ship on his own, and he took He took
responsibility after the game. I heard that. I watched the
interview with him, and so he knows a lot of

(01:36):
that was his fault, and he I do believe with
the people who not only his coaches at school, but
the coaching he's going to get on the phone and
in front of his family, that might help him out
a little bit as well.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I think you'd be all right, Yeah, it'll be fun.
We'll have to see.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Boy, it was a rough outing for him, and I
hate that for that kid.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
But honestly, I feel like when I look at young
people with so much talent and so much potential to
do really, really well in whatever they're doing, one little
dose of reality can serve far better than had he
gone out there and thrown eight touchdown passes and never

(02:21):
been touched in the backfield and all of the things
that would be just make him a hero from day one.
That may have put him on a worse path than
getting his hat handed to him a couple of times.
Did That's the way I look at it anyway, But
I'm not a football coach. We'll talk about fishing hunting

(02:42):
twenty four hour. We're inside twenty four hours now from
the dove season opener. And by the way, since not
everyone is going dove hunting tomorrow, feel free to call
her email and ask whatever questions you want about anything
related to the outdoors. This is not a two hour
or special on Texas dove Hunting opening day. So what

(03:06):
I want to ask to start though, is going to
be dove hunting related because a lot of people are
going and what's on the official can't leave home without
it checklist? What do you think And if you've got
a story that relates to that, and you forgot something
that was really really important on a hunting trip in
your past, and you're willing to share your mistake and

(03:30):
laugh at yourself about it, and by all means dive
right in with that. We did have a guy one
time came all the way out to go dove hunting.
We talked to these This is when I was guiding
back out on the west side of town dove season.
I believe it may have been an opening day hunt.
Everybody's there, everybody's checked in, everybody's okay, We're going to

(03:51):
drive to this field out here, and everybody follow the
car in front of you. And there were about eight
or ten load or ten car loads of guys going
to this one one field and I call it a field.
It was almost a full section of land that we
were putting I think twenty five guys on something like that.
Plenty of room around the perimeter of that thing, big
feeding field. And this one guy when we got to

(04:13):
where we were parking and leaving the cars, I and
a couple of other guys are walking up and down
making sure everybody's got what they need, and this one
guy is just kind of sitting. He's got his trunk
open on his little sedan, got his trunk open, got
his chair out, got his little cooler out, got a
couple of boxes of shells out, and everybody's kind of

(04:34):
getting ready to go out to where they're gonna hunt.
And he's just kind of slumped shoulder on the tailgate
or not the tailgate, but the back of the trunk,
and I had a pretty good idea what he had
forgotten for this dove hunt, and he confessed it. I
just looked at him and I said, what'd you forget?

(04:54):
And I knew the answer coming out coming out to shoot.
Forgot my gun. It's sitting behind the door, behind the
front door of the house, because that's where I left from.
And when I opened the door, everything else that I
had put out was away from the door, just enough

(05:15):
to where I could see it. And I packed all
of that stuff in the trunk and I drove off.
He drove off without a shotgun. Fortunately, almost all of
us who guided it out there had at least two
guns with us at all times, and so one of us,
I can't remember who. It wasn't me, but somebody loaned
him a shot gun for the day and he had
a good time and and we didn't share his secret.

(05:38):
I don't know if he told his buddies or not.
They didn't come in ragging on him about it, but
he did make he was very careful to hand that
gun back if I recall, and not let his buddies
seem turning it over. He probably went out and told
him he bought a new gun, bought it a pawn shot,
probably bought it out of the used rack at one
of the gun stores around town. But I don't think

(05:58):
he confessed that he forgot his gun. So the gun
shell and shells too. By the way, there are two
for one. Neither one of them very useful without the other,
as that guy was finding out pretty quickly. But that's
not number one on my list. Number one on my list,
and it ought to be on yours. Is your license,
you're hunting license, because without that you're kind of cheating

(06:19):
the resource. You're cheating me, you're cheating Frankie, you're cheating
anybody else who enjoys these resources, whether you hunt them
or not. It's kind of cool to drive down the
street and see doves flying around. It's kind of cool
to see deer on the side of the road, unless
they jump in front of your car. That happens some too.
But that license protects those resources of ours, the fish,

(06:43):
the game, all of it from people who would cheat
the system and take too much, or bring in things
they shouldn't bring in, or for whatever reason. That license
helps fund the perpetuation of Texas having one of the
most wildlife and fisheries, diverse states in the country, having

(07:06):
some of the most amazing opportunities that anybody who loves
the outdoors could want anywhere in the country. And all
it takes is just as simple. Go buy the license
and a couple I think it was last weekend. This
past weekend, I encouraged all of you who are going
to be buying your license at the last minute today

(07:28):
or even online tonight. Whenever you finish doing whatever else
you have to do today, go ahead and buy the
super combo. If you're a hunter and you don't fish,
or if you're a fisherman and you don't really hunt,
and you can handle the extra few bucks, it's not
a lot of money when you advertise it over an
entire year of opportunity. If you'll go ahead and do that,

(07:51):
that'll just help all the more to keep these.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Resources of ours healthy. It's just so important.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
We have a lot of challenges in front of us
as outdoors lovers, as consumptive outdoors users. There are still
a whole lot of people they're working behind the scenes
more lately a little more quietly to take away our
rights to hunt and fish, and to either to take
them away or the latest chat or trend has been

(08:22):
to make it uncomfortable, make it economically unfeasible, try to
make it hunting and fishing more expensive by changing what
we can use, where we can use it, and just
making a hot mess of it to where people just
throw in the towels. Oh, I just can't afford to
do that anymore. I can't. I can't afford these shells

(08:44):
anymore because I have to buy this type of shell.
Or I can't afford fishing anymore because I have to
buy this kind of sinker on it and they cost
twice as much. On and on and on. There's all
kinds of ways that the people who don't like what
we do are trying to keep us from doing it,
rather than just staying out of our business and letting
us handle it with the Parks and Wildlife Department and

(09:07):
biologists and scientists. Who will I trust way more than
some guy carrying a sign on a street corner seven
one three two one two five seven ninety Email me
Dougpike at iHeartMedia dot com. By the way, if you
and your family, whether you have, I don't know how
many kids you got, two kids, three kids, five, one, none,
doesn't matter. If you are driving anywhere like down toward

(09:31):
the beach, down toward Galveston on forty five this weekend
and tomorrow and or tomorrow, or if you are driving
home from being down there all weekend, you might want
to swing by in tomorrow and tomorrow only on Labor Day.
The Lone Star Flight Museum. It's at Ellington. It's right,

(09:52):
it's just a few minutes off I forty five. But
what they're doing is having a kind of a big,
big show off. Look at what we got tomorrow at
the Lone Star Flight Museum and the enticement that they're
throwing out, as if the museum itself wasn't enough. Free
hot dogs starting at eleven o'clock until they run out,
and they're gonna have more than a couple of dozen.

(10:12):
I'm sure hot dogs, chips, and a drink, wild supplies
last I don't know why they had to put that
in there. They're gonna have some new stuff over there
to see. They're gonna have just all day. There's all
kinds of activities that anybody of any age can truly enjoy.
And so I promised i'd mentioned this, and I want

(10:34):
to mention it because it is a very amazing place.
And by the way, the general admission for tomorrow was
just ten bucks. Just ten bucks. You can go in
there and have a hoot and nanny. You can get
a good hot dog lunch and get yourself an eye
full of all kinds of amazing things. Relative to the
Lone Star Flight Museum, it's all well worth doing.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Well.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Let's tee it up first with brand and see what's
going on. What's that?

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Man?

Speaker 6 (10:59):
Good morning? I carry you this morning.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I'm all right.

Speaker 7 (11:02):
I just wanted to share it. I wanted to how
it makes me laugh. I uh we we. I had
the privilege of going on this South Texas ranch and
it's I'll give a vicinity of where it's at. You
could see the Hebronville High School, Okay, And we pulled
up on this ranch. We pulled at My uncle just

(11:22):
It was a president of the Heaven Belle Bank, and
he owned this ranch and nobody's ever shot a deer
on it. He let it out for quail, but not deer,
he said. And he had two bucks. He had two
bucks that he said. These two deer they were locked
up and they were huge deer. And he goes, this
is the last time any deer's been shotting off here

(11:42):
in twenty something years. And I'm like, oh, my lord.
So we go out on the ranch with my dad
and my other two brothers and we pull up in
this huge bucket standing out there, and my dad says, shoot,
and I says I can't. He goes why, and I said,

(12:02):
because I left my shelves back at the house. And
he goes, well, he just pulled his cap over his ear.
He was so frustrated. Oh my god, I was young.
I mean, I mean it was it was. You couldn't
have set it up any better. It was in the
middle of rutt and uh, I mean it's we could

(12:25):
have won the moy Gronde contest.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Oh well, that was.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
It was that big, my dad. That's what my dad said.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I can't believe, you know it happens. Branded It's okay,
It's okay, yeah, yes, sir, all right.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
All right.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
To tell you what, Matthew, I'll make you a deal.
You hang on through the break. I will come right
to you when we get back. But I got to
try and stay on time. Got a full plate this morning,
and I want to get to it all. Hang tight,
I'll be back on the way out. I'm gonna tell
you about Carter's Country. Speaking of rifle cartridge is branded.
All you had to do was go by there and
just come out, put them in your pocket, and keep

(13:06):
going to Heabronville. Carter's Country's been around for sixty plus years.
Guns ammo hunting stuff. No footballs, no snorkels, no tennis rackets,
just the stuff you need to enjoy hunting and shooting
in the great outdoors. Carter's Country's got a full service
range and gunsmithing up there at the flagship store on

(13:27):
Trush Week. They've got two more locations in town to
make sure everybody can get what they want and what
they need. You're gonna see a lot of things you
want if you go into Carter's Country. You might want
to start just kind of browsing the website and see
what you can find that you actually need, and then
stack on top of that what you want. If you
can't get to the store, like I said, go online.
Check out all the Red Tag deals that are going

(13:48):
on right now too this time of year. They do
this every year, red Tag sales going into hunting season,
getting perfectly good, perfectly great hunting gear off the shelves
to make new room for the new stuff that's coming
in because it's on its way and they've got to
have a place to put it. Range Day coming up

(14:09):
September twenty seventh. I'll tell you more about that as
the week's progress. Right now, it's Dove Season until season
and then everything season. Carterscountry dot Com, Carterscountry dot Com.
All right, welcome back eight nineteen on Sports Talk seven
to ninety the Doug Pike Show this Sunday morning, Sunday morning,

(14:33):
one day before the opening of Dove Season. As promised,
I'm gonna go straight to Matthew because Matthew, thank you
for waiting.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Man.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
I really appreciate that. What's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Hey, Doug, I think he got just about the best
outdoor show on the radio.

Speaker 8 (14:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
I can tell you, hey, I've lived all over the country.
I have to spend half my time out in California's why,
you know, work, family stuff out going on, and I
like it. And you're with you out doors wherever I am.
There is no state in the country, at least that
I've been in all Amosault West that manages the wild

(15:11):
life and the outdoors as effectively and conscientiously as textas
does its dead. Anybody that goes out there and does
not have the Hunter States course and their license and
the super combo text I believes the only state that
has that. You know, they're not only doing the disservice

(15:32):
to themselves, but everybody out there hunting with If I
was out with a group of buddies and they're like, oh,
I even bother, go get my licenses. Hey, I tell you, listen, man,
you're not hunting with the Yeah, just end the store.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I don't have a problem with that either. If you can't,
if you don't have the time to go get a license,
when you've had a month, two months, three months to
get ready for an opening day hunt or any hunt.
I don't care what time of the year it is.
All you have to do is get online, push a
few buttons, write in a credit card number, and boom,
You're you're good. You're good to go.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
That's all it takes. There's cently academys in scenarios. You
roll right in there and it's done. A lot of
people don't do it. It's beyond me. But a lot
of people feed wild games because they're just not conscience.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, they don't know any better than that either. That's
not so good, is it?

Speaker 4 (16:21):
That? Being said, I got a golf question for sure.
So we're doing this tour, Well, we're going to every
US Open golf venue court, okay in California, in California,
and my question is should I just go by the
biggest sack of range balls I can? Because how many

(16:44):
you think I'm gonna lose first round?

Speaker 6 (16:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Let me tell you what if you if you invest
more than about fifty cents a ball here, I got
all was very fortunate, by the way, I almost had
Frankie pull out the bragging the bragging bells on you
for going to all these all some golf courses. But
my experience was something like that, going to very difficult
courses and playing You're not going to be playing them

(17:08):
under open conditions, but nonetheless it's still going to be challenging. Okay.
I got the opportunity to go to Princeville down there
in Hawaii years ago on a media trip, and the
guys down there said, the head pro comes out with
this cardboard box full of.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Golf balls before we tee off, said.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Hey man, you guys might want to throw some of
these in your bag just in case. You know, it's
a pretty tough course. And our egos, every one of
us are so egotistical about our golf games that we
didn't do. No, we're good man. I had like eight
or nine balls in my bag. I didn't care. Had
more back at the room if I needed them for
the next day. We were doing different courses each day,

(17:49):
and at the turn, every one of us went back
looking for that guy. Hey man, he where's that box
we had to reload?

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Don't get me started on greens Peas, even with my
resident card. Yeah, to play toy play toy is now
called fifty seven dollars around that's it.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Well, that's not outrageous to play Tory pines.

Speaker 8 (18:15):
Come on, you know how much that was.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
But half dozen years ago it was always twenty twenty
three dollars.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh my lord. Yeah, well you had you had a
bird nest on the ground right there, my friend.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Good for you.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
So will that complaint fall on deaf ears.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yet a little bit? A little bit, although you know,
and you know, and to be honest, I've been very
blessed around here certainly and in other locations, uh to
have access to have reasonably priced access to a lot
of good courses too. I really treasure that I do. Alright,
I'm gonna go catch up with Rick Man. Yeah, good

(18:54):
luck on your West Coast tour. I'd like to hear
how it turns out. I really would, Matthew.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
If I shoot under two hundred.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Per round one hundred, two hundred.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh lord, I want to shoot my weight.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Okay, I'm feeling sorry for nowns of people playing behind you.
Oh no, okay, well then you know. Yeah, I don't
if you didn't shoot, if you can hit the ball,
if you didn't play in four hours, I don't care
if you hit it three hundred times, it doesn't matter.
All right, let me go.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
We're here for good We're here for a good time,
not a long time.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
I'm I like that. I'm gonna use that. Thank you, Matthew,
I see man audio audios. All right, let me catch
up with old Rick bikes here. Thanks for sticking around, Rick.
What's up man?

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Hey, I'm just uh listening to Brandon's comments about leaving
his bullets behind. Yeah, you know, part of the one
of the best things of your show is uh, everybody
talking about things and reminiscing when when I listened to
your show. It reminds me of so many things that
I've had the experience to do. Amen, our witness, et cetera,

(20:15):
et cetera. And I love that part. I've had several
encounters with my boys doing that in your semi from
You've never met them, but they know what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Amen, Yeah, I know they do for sure. I've seen
the pictures.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
Yeah, they're doing anyway. I've had a I was way
overly protective as a dad when they were little, to
the point I was accused of being a little too
hard on them. But we used to play games blind
you know, I would pay blindfold and taking eight seventy
apart and put them back together. Yeah, okay, and uh,

(20:53):
you know stuff like that. Yeah and uh. And then
the rifles when they were seven and twelve. I think
they're five years before it Bottom Remington, I think it's
called seven seventy seven seven four seven seventh. He was
a two forty three boat action with a bottom load clip.
Great gun for defendables. And on one occasion, I and

(21:20):
they were very well familiar with these guns, and we
went through all of our safety stuff and and everything,
and we go to the deer stand in the dark,
and we a low elevated stand and we passed the
guns up there, unloaded, boats open, get up there, everything's done.
I said, okay, you can your boat, your gun, make

(21:41):
sure it's some safety. We go through it, and this
deer walks out. Short story, and I gave Travis, who's
my oldest, the nod to shoot, and he gets down
on him and pulls the trigger. Could lick.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Oh yeah, that clicked out a good sound.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
I looked at Clayton, who's seven. I said, shooty, and
he gets on and click.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh no.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
My pointing all this, I'll never forget the as long
as I live to look on their two faces side
by side next to me. When I reached in my
pocket and I pulled out their two clips that were voted,
they forgot one thing because that my my bill was
with them that day. I said, okay, today you're gonna

(22:37):
be responsible for this gun. Yeah, I'm looking at them,
and maybe just always put the clips you know, in
on you know, bolt open. Just when we got the stand,
I didn't do it that day.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Boy, that's a that's a lesson learned. That's pretty rough.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
The big old bunk walks out like that click ck.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know, if i'd have been oh my god, if
i'd have been the little guy, as soon as i
heard click from big brother, I'd have reached up under
my gun looking for that magazine in a heartbeat, man
reached up and stuck somewhere somehow. Man, all right, well
that was a good lesson. Yeah, those little those baby

(23:23):
quail are one of the cutest little animals on the
entire planet.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
I swear, yeah, yesterday, that was cool.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, there's a bunch of them down there. Thank you, Rick.
Go to hear from you, man, I'll see. Oh yeah, yeah,
that is boy. He was, he was. I bet he
was quite the task master when he was young. Rick
was on his two boys, and both of them. I've
seen the pictures. He sends me, a lot of pictures

(23:51):
of stuff they're doing in the outdoors all over this continent,
quite frankly, and they're they're as good as anybody I've
ever seeing it. What they do, I'm sure. I'm sure
they put a lot of effort into it, keep all
their stuff in perfect working order. And hats off, hats
off to them, and hats off to him for raising them.

(24:12):
That's to find outdoorsman whose families ultimately will be cut
from the same cloth. Probably. And that's a great boy.
That was a hard man. That's such a hard lesson.
I'd hate to have done that to my son. But
I see why he did it. You're in charge of
this gun, and I'm sure they'd heard that a lot

(24:33):
of times now. You're always in charge of your firearm.
You make sure it's unloaded, you make sure it's loaded
when it needs to be. You do this, you do that.
But he'd been kind of helping them along with it, probably,
and they presumed that he had helped them out again.
And when when it came time to take that big buck,

(24:57):
they didn't take responsibility for their gun by checking to
make sure that it was ready to put that big
buck on the ground. That's a man. That's a rough
way to teach him, Rick, But I can't argue with
the impact it had on them. I'm sure the two
of them looking at each other like he got us.

(25:19):
He got us, He gave us the opportunity to do
it right, and we forgot one slightly pretty important thing.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
All right.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
I gotta take a break here on the way out,
Kobe Stevens, this is the golf apparel and outdoor apparel
company with which I am quite familiar. To be perfectly honest,
I've known Kobe Stevens now for the brand for the
better part of a year, two years, I think it is.
And I'm actually working with Kobe on doing something a

(25:51):
little bit different with them. Hopefully we'll get that worked
out pretty soon. I really do. I really who do
hope this comes to fruition because I think it's going
to be something that will do very well for them
and for me. Kobe Stevens is mostly golf stuff, like
I said, and Kobe himself, Kobe Galic, the guy who
owns the company, is mostly about giving back to his community,

(26:14):
which I really really like about the guy. This isn't hype,
it isn't blowney. He genuinely wants to help all these
causes he helps, and he's to a point now where
he hardly has any time for himself on the weekends
or on Mondays because he's always at some event somewhere
trying to help them raise money for good causes all

(26:34):
over town. You go to a tournament, there's a fairly
good chance you're gonna see Kobe Stevens brand represented, And
one of the things I like about it is it
also helps me represent myself as a really good golfer.
You look at just look at what I'm wearing when
I get to the golf course. Most of the time,
if it's Kobe Stevens gear, I'm gonna look like I

(26:55):
play better than I do.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
That's a straight up confession.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
If you just walk around with a couple of clubs
in my hand, maybe a glove hanging out in my
back pocket, something like that. Who's that guy? I so

(30:09):
on Sports Talk seven ninety This pretty good looking Sunday
as far as I know. When I came in, it
looked pretty dog on good anyway. So Frankie was telling
me the story that LJ told him about going to
pick up one of his buddies to go fishing down
in Galveson one day, and he picked up he got
to his buddy's house. His buddy came out and said, hey, LJ,
where's the boat? And LJ had forgotten to put the

(30:30):
boat on the trailer on behind his truck. And I
guarantee you right now, lj's ears are burning because it
wasn't him. It was his buddy who forgot to hook
the boat to the truck. And he's going, no, no,
it wasn't me. We know that LJ. It's okay, man,

(30:50):
And LJ was kind enough. This is the kind of
guy LJ is. If you don't know him. LJ was
kind enough to not tell Frankie the name of the
guy who forgot to put his boat on the truck.
So that's off to both of them. Man, that's pretty
funny stuff there, man. I told Frank, I said, I'm
gonna have some fun with with LJ when we get back.

(31:11):
And I can just I can imagine him sitting there listen.
Oh wow, he's telling my story. Yeah wait wait no, no, no, no, no,
dog No whatn't me? Hey Dave? What's up?

Speaker 8 (31:20):
Man? Oh man, I'm sitting there looking in beautiful eight
conro A's over cast right now, and uh so, uh,
everybody to be safe out there. But I'm just I'm
watching this, uh, this group over here, these guys that
just pulled in, they just picked out of their lab
well and put them in the ice. Shets and if
we can go back out again with about five catfish

(31:42):
anywhere from twenty five to thirty five pounds. Yeah, they
they had a haul man, holy can and uh yeah,
and then the other guy over here in the tracker. Uh,
they're all going out. But there was there's a state
trooper over here. He was really nice. I got I
talked to him for a good while and I asked,

(32:04):
I thank you for what he was doing for us.
But he was backed in here. Oh, here comes one
guy running over here a way from me. Any for me,
They're always to get on the boat for that state
trooper he was talked to about six thirty. There wasn't
hardly anybody here, and I knew that it was going
to get you know, more people here. But then he
pulled out and then, uh, make sure you got your

(32:27):
lights on your trailer. To this one couple over here.
He let him go back out, but he rode him
a big yellow warning ticket. I guess, you know, make
sure you got your trailer, you know, something of that,
something to that effect. But that really nice guy. And
but I'm, like I said, right now, I'm just kind
of sitting over here, uh waiting on a bike. But

(32:51):
uh uh then uh, I'm gonna uh oh, I'm gonna
cook a big roast today. Good for you that I
had saved from black angus cattle. If we got oh,
I'm gonna cook it. I'm gonna, you know, sear it
and put it on there and then get it all
seasoned up and all that stuff, and then sear it
and then put it in this woom in of pol

(33:12):
and just let it slow, slow roll out on my
barbecue pit. You know, probably about seven or eight sixty
seven hours.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
It sounds pretty dog gone good to me.

Speaker 8 (33:20):
Man, Hey, yeah, I tell you what. Hey, hey, wait
a minute, we get oh here he's backing up again,
that stay trooper. Yeah, but we got to breeze. It
seems like out of the south. Yeah, behind my back
head in that way. But he told me to if
y'all all coming out here, be safe, because he said
there's storm's coming in.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
And oh yeah, I'm looking at the radar right now. Actually, Dave,
And as far as Conro goes, you got not a
whole lot of time. Probably about noon, you're gonna start
feeling it and it's gonna be around till about three,
so just be ready.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
One thing I love is all these little kids over there.
But they all got their live check. It's home and
they're jumping around on the front of the boat. And
if they could, they'd probably be doing backflips holiday weekends.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Man. Safety, safety, safety, though, we know that.

Speaker 8 (34:16):
That's what I told that trooper. I said, Man, we
talked about it on here all the time because I
told him I was gonna call you. So yeah, and
you know, we got a lot of them that listen,
and God bless all at the troopers and filefighters. Thank
you for.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
All right, pardon, I'll see man audios all right, I'm
looking at I want to check email before I go
to break real quick, because there were a couple of
things from popping in.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Dan wonders, how did that happen?

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Dan, a former professional long haul trucker, wonders, how you
wouldn't know your trailer wasn't.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Behind your truck? Well, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
I guess. I guess the where view mirror certainly would
look a little bit empty at that point, would it not.
You would have to think so. But well, everybody gets excited,
everybody gets enthusiastic, and sometimes you just forget the main
thing that you needed. So they turned into a turned

(35:18):
into a jetti walking trip. I'm sure that's you know,
that's the way. Honestly, that's the way I would have
handled it. Hey man, we know whoever, whoever was supposed
to pull the boat over and pick me up forgot
the boat. It's no big deal. Let's go. It's gonna
change where we get to fish, but it doesn't mean
we can't go fishing. That's as long as you got
rods and reels and a good attitude. I'll go fishing

with you all day long. Some one three two one

make sure that all of your trees are tough enough,
strong enough, healthy enough to survive a big blow. If

(36:12):
they're not, maybe they need a little feeding, maybe they
need a little pruning, maybe they need to come out.
Either way, Champions Tree has all the equipment and all
the crews that are necessary to get that job done
quickly and efficiently and at a fair price. Once you
get that done, you can relax a little bit because
they're going to kind of put you on their regular

radar to come back every now and then and make
sure those trees are still good. They tend to they
drive all over town every day, so anytime, and the
way it was explained to me, if we're going to
be close to one client's house, we'll just drive by
another client's house and double check on their trees while
we're out that way. They take personal pride in making

(36:54):
sure your trees last. And if you do have to
get rid of a tree because it's just not savable,

America Shooting Centers can help with that. They're like a
oh man, I want to have to come up with
a good way to explain that. They've got trapping skeet,
they got sporting clays, they got a beginner's wing shooting area.
They got ranges for rifle and pistol from five yards

(38:07):
to six hundred yards. There's a pop up silhouette range
for the rimfire shooters. And that's a great way to
get kids started because shooting at twenty two rimfire AMMO
is a whole lot cheaper than shooting real rifle cartridges
or even shotgun shelves. American Shooting Centers they are on

ninety The Dougpike Show. Thank you for listening. I'm looking
at an email I got from Steve listen to you
while working on weekends. I know you don't talk about
archery that much, but my daughter went to the Youth

(38:49):
World Archery competition in Canada and won a gold medal
in the team U eighteen. That means she's younger than eighteen,
I guess, or maybe eighteen and younger. Anyway, she's shooting
her arrows at fifty meters fifty meters. Now, if you're

(39:14):
a bowhunter, you know how far fifty yards is fifty
meters a little bit farther, and you know how good
you'd have to be to even make one good shot
at that range. And she won the gold medal. Doesn't
give me her name? Dog gone it, Steve all gone it, Steven,

(39:35):
It says here, Okay, I need her first name because
we have to recognize. So shoot me an email with
that first name, Will. I'd like to see it. By
the way, I didn't get to this yesterday, but for
those of you who fancy yourselves alligator gar fisherman the harvest,
this is a news release I would Yeah, this is

(39:57):
a news release from Parks and Wallafe Department. They let
us know on the twenty seventh, actually, and I had
to save it for today because my fifty plus audience
wouldn't appreciate it, most of them anyway. Harvest Authorization drawing
opens for Trinity River Alligator gar September one. The drawing
opens September one. Doesn't mean you can go blast them anyway.

(40:20):
What this will get you is the authority to harvest
one alligator gar longer than forty eight inches from it
says here a section of the Trinity River from September
one through the thirtieth. Anglers holding a valid license year
or year from purchase fishing license can enter the drawing

(40:42):
through the Texas Hunting Fish Mobile app or online. Howly
that just the paper stuff's going away for old geezers
like me as an individual or part of a small group.
Winners will be notified by October fifteenth, and authorizations will
be valid from the date issued through August thirty first

(41:03):
of twenty twenty six. Anglers can use any legal means
or method, et cetera, et cetera, and so on. Here's
where you can use this authorization. It is the Trinity
River from the Interstate thirty Bridge in Dallas downstream to
the I ten Bridge in Chambers County. Now, in case

(41:26):
you don't know it, there are a lot of giant
alligator gar in that stretch of the Trinity River. I
mean a bunch of them. This section that continues includes
Lake Livingston and the East Fork of the Trinity River
upstream to the dam at Lake ray Hubbard includes a
boatload of counties. It's a long stretch, as you might imagine.

(41:48):
Tim Birdsong, director of Parks and Widlife Departments Inland Fisheries Division,
now and I quote from Tim, fishing for alligator gar
on the Trinity River is world renowned. That's true and
truly a bucket list item for any angler. End quote.
And what this system does is make it possible for
one hundred and fifty people to go get one of

(42:08):
these monstrous alligator guards and still maintain their goal, the
Parks of Widlife Department's goal of managing that resource and
making sure that there will be many, many more years
in which they can continue to do this. It's similar
to how white tailed deer are managed. It's similar to
how fisher managed. You get a good idea of how

(42:30):
many we got, You get a good idea of how
much that habitat will will handle, and then you take
out the number of animals that, whether they be fish
or deer or birds or whatever, you can safely remove
from that population a certain number of those things so
that the rest of them all stay healthy and happy

(42:53):
because there's enough food for them, enough cover for them.
The deer situation is the best one to explain how
this works with the habitat and the populations. The carrying
capacity if you will of land, if you've got let's
say it takes ten acres of raw land in Texas

(43:15):
to feed a deer, and you own one hundred acres
and you got ten deer on it, then there's a
pretty good chance that those ten deer are gonna emerge
from the hard winter or a hot summer in good shape.
But if those animals breed as they do and next
season you have thirteen deer on that same one hundred acres,

(43:38):
the carrying capacity hasn't changed any It can only carry
It can only safely and with good health, carry ten.
So you need to take three of them off of there,
or what you're doing is subjecting all thirteen of them
to varying levels of malnutrition or an inability to deal

(43:58):
with extreme temperatures or whatever, And you wind up doing
a whole lot more harm than good by just saying, oh, no,
we don't need to shoot anything, leave them alone. Nature
will take care of it. Yeah, nature will take care
of it, all right. And I hate to be a
broken record. But the two tools. Nature only has two
tools to put back into check an overpopulation of any species.

(44:24):
One is disease and the other is starvation. And neither
of them is pretty for those animals. I've seen malnourished
deer in parts of the hill country that were getting overpopulated.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
I've seen horribly. It's a horrible death.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
When those geese that we had done here a long
time ago as a big avy and cholera outbreak and
holy mackerel, we were all all of us who had
anything to do with the prairie and really cared about
the prairie, and those birds were out there getting dead
geese out of roost. We were cleaning out those roots
and refilling them with clean water, and on and on

(45:03):
and on. The only people who didn't show up back
then when all of that effort was underway, and I
mean there were tens of thousands of geese loss back then.
The only people not there animal rights. There was not
a single person. And I was working at the newspaper
then and guiding out on the prairie and really trying
to keep up with who was out there. Audubon Society

(45:25):
showed up in droves their people were out there helping.
The hunting community showed up in droves. All of us
knew how important that resource was and what we had
to do to protect it. The people who just don't
like hunting and fishing and will stand there on the
street corner and bang their tambourine and say we love animals,
we love animals. What they're really saying is we don't

(45:47):
like hunting, and that kept them from wanting to participate
at all. They just didn't have the time. They not
a man hour that I saw, and I was asking people,
where are you from. I'm from Audubon. Where are you from?
I hunt out on this prairie. Not one person said,
you know, I'm with an animal rights group and we

(46:08):
just want to be out here to help these animals,
not a single one of them. I wasn't disappointed, and
I wasn't surprised. Well, I wasn't disappointed because I had
no expectation of them even remotely becoming a part of
a massive undertaking to save those geese. That's back when

(46:30):
this prairie wintered, more than a million waterfowl. More than
a million waterfowl were coming down here every year for
fifteen to twenty years. Holy cal look at the time.
I gotta take a little break here on the way out,
I'll tell you about black Horse Golf Club. If you're
thinking about a little golf up on the northwest side,
you might want to hustle because it probably is gonna
rain a little bit this afternoon. I hate to rain

(46:51):
on anybody's Labor Day parade, but there's some stuff coming
from the north. It'll get to Lake Conroe and Guitar
Dave a little sooner that it'll get down here. But
it's going to get on down a little later this afternoon.
So get out and have your fun as much as
you can. And black Horse Golf Club be a great
place if you can just throw the clubs in the
car and get on over there. You still got time

(47:13):
to get at least nine and maybe eighteen holes in.
And who knows, these forecasts have been so wonky it
may it may fall apart before it gets here. Either way,
anytime other than today, probably there's a great chance you
could go over there and tee it up on that
North course which is still public, or maybe if you
want to look at the membership options for the South course.

(47:34):
Now that's a great idea because there is an option
up it's kind of an up to and including an
option that will essentially get you five golf courses for
the price of one. You make that commitment to that
membership at black Horse, and you also get access to
Golf Club of Houston's two courses and to Blackhawk Country Club.

(47:54):
So you got the two at black Horse, to at
Golf Club of Houston and black Hawk Country Club, all
of which are outstanding tracks. I've played all of them,
I don't know how many times. Love them all. Gonna
keep going to them all as often as I get
a chance. To black Horse Golf Club dot com. They're
making a lot of improvements and tweaks on both courses
up there this year to make sure that each of

(48:16):
them maintains its level of quality that's always been there.
Black Horse goolf Club dot Com is the website black
Horse Golf Club dot com. Nine oh three on Sports
Talk seven ninety The Dougpike Show, Thank you for listening.
Second and final hour of the program. This morning, I
came across something I made up this little list this morning.

(48:39):
I was sitting at the desk on the other side
of the room, way over on the other side of
the room and came up with that list I was
talking about at the onset of the show, about the
little stuff you gotta make sure you remember for opening
day tomorrow. Guns and Ammo they go together. The license
was number one, on and on and on and way
down my list, And I may go back to that
list in a minute, just to make sure everybody doesn't

(49:02):
do like Lj's friend and show up for a boating
day on the bay with no boat behind his truck.
How he did that, I don't know, but that was
kind of funny. In any event, I have snacks on
the list, and what I wrote there is that if
the pants you wore on last year's opener seemed a
little tighter than when you put them on last year,

(49:23):
you maybe choose a healthier field snack than whatever it
was you were eating last year. Those hunting pants. Hunting
pants tend to shrink from year to year, especially.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
The older you get. I don't know what it is.
I just don't know. I can't imagine what it might
be other than my diet.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
In any event, the snack thing reminded me of something
I had that I didn't quite get a chance to
mention during the week for fifty plus. There's a little
website I go to that gives me little conversation starters
and whatnot and what I found in case you're a
big fan. Frankie, do you eat you know?

Speaker 3 (50:00):
No, there's no way you eat Hostess ding dongs?

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Right? Or do you?

Speaker 3 (50:04):
I don't know what that is?

Speaker 1 (50:06):
You don't even know what it is.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
That's so good. That's so good to hear.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
It's a it's kind of a it's a chocolatey cake
with a chocolate icing and then it's cream, just like
a white like whipped cream up in the middle of it.
That makes sense. You look at them up? Yeah, yeah,
I'm looking it up.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Oh yeah, look them up and see if you've ever
seen one before.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
Probably not. That may be that may well, yeah, they're
still out there, but it may be. Sounds like mom
and dad were smart enough not to feed them to you.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Yeah, I think I just missed that.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Okay, Well, you're you're lucky because there's a nationwide recall
right now, and the concern is and it's it's wrapped
in quotes in this little piece. I got you ready,
moldy ding dongs? Maybe that who maybe that's a new

(50:58):
holiday flavor. I don't know. You could write your own
punchline for that one. Yeah, we want. We don't eat
them because they might be moldy, moldy ding dongs. Man,
that's there's a whole lot.

Speaker 5 (51:14):
I know.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
We don't need to touch that one in more ways
than one. Let's get back to the list. Okay, let's
get back to the list of things we need for
opening day tomorrow of dove season. You get besides your license,
your gun, your shells, and your snacks, no moldy ding dongs.
I love dry stick, I like jerky. I like all

(51:36):
of those dried meat products. I really do, because they're
easy to store, they last a long time, and they're
just good. You're gonna need dell floss or a really
good toothpick or something after you eat a lot of
that stuff because it will find its way between teeth
and hang on for dear life. But otherwise it's very tasty.
I'm a tary documant. That's good stuff for me. Moving

(51:59):
to the list, you gotta have something to store your
shelves and your birds in that vest or belt or whatever.
You're gonna need sunglasses. And when I say sunglasses. I'm
really talking about shooting glasses. It's okay if you just
have a favorite pair of sunglasses, so long as they're

(52:21):
not glass lenses and above and beyond that, even for hunting,
when there's a greater chance certainly of having a pretty
significant strike to those lenses. Then if you're just standing
on a river bank somewhere trying to catch a catfish,
go ahead and invest. It doesn't take much invest in
ballistic plastic that can withstand that pellet strike, even from

(52:45):
a pretty close range, because, like they say, you only
get two eyeballs, man, and if you don't invest in
protection for those eyes, that can be a mess. There's
a lot of different lens colors out there for different conditions,
and if we have time later in this hour, maybe
I can get into some of that. I have specific

(53:07):
shooting glasses that I wear when I shoot, and they
came with four different color lenses, each one of which
is good and better than the others are for particular conditions,
whether it's a gray day, a bright sunny day, whether
you're hunting or shooting clay targets, and a lot of
it has to do with contrast, making that target stand

(53:28):
out against whatever background it's coming across, you're gonna need
bug spray, and in that order for me would be
these three. Some make sure I got to keep the
mosquitoes away. I gotta keep nats away. And third on
my list is chiggers. And Rick Biss, I'm pretty sure
is saying no chiggers are first, but for me, it's

(53:49):
I got to keep the mosquitoes off of me. I
hate that nats are number two because I have a
kind of a mild allergic reaction to gnat bites, and
if one of them bites me, it'll swell up to
about the size of a fat nickel, be like three
nickels stacked on each other that anywhere, and that gets
a good mouthful of me. That's what I'm gonna have

(54:12):
there for about two days. It's horrible. You're gonna need water.
And by the way, the chigger thing, there are some
designated repellents for chiggers, but you don't spram all over
your body. Mostly what you need to do is get
your pant legs and if you're for sure gonna be
in kind of chigger country, tuck your pants into your

(54:32):
socks because if those chiggers get on your feet, on
your boots, and then they walk up your boots. They're
gonna go up. That's where they're going. They're gonna get
to the high ground. They're gonna go up, and then
they're gonna get inside that pant leg and crawl up
your legs. And you're not sensitive enough. I'm pretty sure
to feel a chigger crawling up your leg. But that's
what they're doing. They don't just transport themselves like like

(54:56):
a beam me up, scotty thing, beat me up to
the belt line, Scottie. That's not works. They crawl. So
if you can stop them down there with a good
sulfur dust, if you can find that, there's all kinds
of things out there now that can keep them off
of you, and you'll be glad you did one thing.
Water goes without saying it's gonna be eighty ninety degrees whatever,

(55:16):
And even up in Central Texas where it's cooler, you're
gonna still need water. You can't just sit out there
all day and not drink water and stay hydrated. Something
to help you find a down bird too. That's really
important as far as I'm concerned and what I like,
and if I can remember in fact, I need to
go make take care of this today.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
I'll take like half inch or at least quarter inch
doll sticks.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
You don't want something that's gonna break if you have
to try to push it into a little bit harder ground.
But if you can stand it, just go ahead and
buy three three foot half inch dowels and then rummage
around in your garage for the surveyor's ribbon you know
you have out there somewhere, and put about two feet
of surveyors ribbon on each of those three sticks. And

(56:03):
when you leave where you're sitting or standing to shoot,
to go get a downed bird in the field, you
grab one of those You don't take your eye off
the line that the bird's on, because then you look
back up and everything looks the same. You focus on
that spot, you grab one of those sticks, and you
walk straight to where you believe, in your heart of hearts,

(56:24):
you know that bird's got to be right here, and
you punch that stick in the ground, and you have
that little piece of bright red or bright yellow or
whatever tape to reference, and then just start walking a
little concentric circle, a little bit bigger, a little bit bigger,
until you find feathers and you will. That's a pretty

(56:45):
solid way to do that. And you got to look
up when and down when two. If a bird landed
really softly, chances are it's going to be upwind of
those or downwind of those feathers. If it landed in
a tumbling crack. Now it maybe either way, but once
you hit that spot and you find feathers, it should

(57:07):
be either directly upwind or directly downwind, because the feathers
aren't gonna blow off to the left or the right
of that wind line.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
And again back to the snacks man, Back to the snacks.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
If you want to be reminded of hunting when you
were younger and broker but still crave that protein, then
load your bag with be in a sausage and slim gems,
anything that won't melt. I made that man. I used
to just devour Snickers bars as fast as I could
find them and eat them. I loved the good Snickers,
and I made the stupid mistake one time of buying

(57:41):
a bag of those little bite sized Snickers and dropping about.
I transferred them out of the big bag I bought, thinking, yeah,
if I don't eat all these before I can use
them at Halloween. I'll throw them out the door. But
what I did was put about twenty of them in
a ziplock and just throw them in my hunting bag

(58:04):
and not think about them at all. Ninety two ninety
five degree day average dub day down this way, salth
zone dub day and mad Did I regret that because
all I could was they If they'd have gotten any hotter,
I could have drank them when I opened up the
little baby wrappers, and of course those tiny ones, there's
no way to even try to do it without getting

(58:26):
any chocolate on your fingers. So I looked like a
little kid at a third grade birthday party. When I
was finished with that hunt, I did have some. There
may or may not have been some feathers and chocolate
in the bag when it was all over. Seven one

Let's take a break. If you're a cigar smoker, by
the way, you're gonna need cigars out there on that hunt. Uh,

(58:49):
just make sure you don't set anything on fire the
cigars though. Uh. That's the the world of Manny Lopez
at El Kubano Cigars hand rolled in Texas City by
Manny and I think three other people who just sit
there all day and roll cigars.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
They've been doing this. They're from Cuba.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
They know how. They worked in Cuban cigar factories most
of their lives. And Manny and his father came here
in two thousand and six and said, you know what,
we're going to do this here in Texas. They opened
up this cigar manufacturing facility, one of only about four
dozen in the whole country, most of them in Florida.
You might as well, you could have figured that out

(59:31):
by yourself. They use only the finest tobaccos, most of
it Cuban seed grown in Central America. And you could
actually watch them roll down there in Texas City. It's
not a big fancy thing, just a table with one
or two people at it rolling cigars. This tobacco comes
in in big giant bundles. It gets held for a

(59:52):
couple of I think like six weeks before they can
start using it. And then once they do, they do
about one hundred and fifty different cigars, very robust cigars,
very mild cigars, colorful if you will, with different shades
of tobacco in the cigars. Those are kind of cool looking,

(01:00:12):
even branded bands and boxes for special occasions, or they'll
they'll come to your event and roll cigars right there
for your your golf tournament, your your wedding reception, whatever,
a big promotion meeting at a at a business somewhere.
Elcubano Cigars dot com. They'll ship them all over the
country too. By the way, many does that About five,

(01:00:34):
six hundred, maybe a thousand cigars a week go out
of there. I guess by ups, I don't know. Lcubanocigars

Thank you for listening. Certainly do appreciate it, always have,
always will. And Lee, it's hard to believe I'm wrapping

(01:00:58):
up my twenty fifth year around here doing what I
do and getting to talk to all of you and learn.
I feel like I learned about ten things for every
one thing I try to put out there and maybe
help somebody figure out. And so I'm very glad to
hear it. I got tickled. Lyle sends me an email
a little bit while a little while ago, when I

(01:01:18):
was explaining to Frankie, did for to see my little
baby laptop screen in here, I have to really kind
of lean in. And when I first read les Lyle's email,
I was a little bit confused. He's over in New Orleans,
overlooking Audubon Park, which is that's within walking distance of
my grandmother's house when she lived over there, and that's

(01:01:40):
where my dad was raised, all of that back in
that time. And so he writes what I believed I
read was another pretty mom in the park, like that's
an interesting observation, Lyle. I'm okay. And then I leaned in,
leaned in like I'm doing, and I realized that there

(01:02:01):
was a typo in there. And I'm sure now that
he meant r N instead of r M, which looked
a lot like mom, only it was just a nice,
pretty sunrise. I bet there's even a picture with it
if I go looking, let me see. Nope, I didn't
get a picture. He's just observing, and that's he's observing

(01:02:23):
the out of doors, and that I find it fascinates
me that we're all, even as as old as I am,
I still appreciate every sunrise as though it was the
first one i've seen. I like watching the sun come up,
I don't like watching it go down so much because
it's that kind of that's the end of most of

(01:02:44):
the outdoor activity, although fishing can go on through the
night certainly, and hunting now, I guess there's no reason
to stop hog hunting if you've got the right equipment
and get out there and do it at night. Back
to the MOLDI dingongs for just a minute. Oh, I
don't know whether call them out or not. Two very

(01:03:06):
long time listeners, probably right around my age, I think,
And I'll just without the names. I'll just read what
was written. Well, while we should be ashamed, we're not.
We still buy Hostess ding dongs. Yum yum exclamation point. Yeah.

(01:03:32):
Just give them a good look. Give them a good
look when you pop them out of that package. Okay,
and make sure there's nothing growing on any side of them.
Turn them upside down, turn them over, spin them round
and round. I'd go check the batch numbers on that requalify.
Were you two, I'll just tell you that I had

(01:03:54):
nothing to ruin a good labor day like a moldy
ding dongo. I don't know if there's enough pepto bismol
in the world to tackle that seven one three two
one two five seven ninety. Email me Doug Pike at
iHeartMedia dot com. I'm going down there. That's irrelevant to
this show. That too irrelevant to this show. I get

(01:04:16):
so many dog gone emails from people I don't really
want to get emails from, and I hit unsubscribe as
fast as I can hit it. Uh, but it still
doesn't work. Once your name is on these lists, especially media,
Once your name's on these lists, you just for every
one you unsubscribe to, they've already put you on ten

(01:04:39):
more lists. And they make money off the list. I
can't can't blame them for trying to make a living,
but boy, it's sure is obnoxious. It took me years.
There were about six or eight years that I was
on the official mailing list of probably half a dozen
or more women's fashion houses, the women's high big name designers. Hey,

(01:05:04):
come join us in Paris for fashion Week. Like, yeah,
I'll pass. I think I'll just go to Galveston catch trout.
That'd be more fun for me. And all these invitations
to fancy parties. Join us in New York for fashion Week.
Join us here, join us there, and I'm just unsubscribed, unsubscribed, unsubscribe,

(01:05:27):
and somebody else would pop up. And I mean the
big ones, boy, Jivon, She you name it, all of them,
just all of them, Louis Vuitton with Tan. I saw
something yesterday about how to pronounce all those names, and
it reminded me of that, and now I'm reminded of
it again. Oh, by the way, I got an email

(01:05:48):
from Bill yesterday and Bill was kind enough and brave
enough to share some pictures from when he got a
vibrio infection years ago, and he hadn't been near the coast,
he said, And that perplexes me. And it may just

(01:06:08):
be one of those things where you never really know
how it originated. But the long and the short of
it was that he came very near losing that leg,
and to this day still because of that infection and
all the antibiotics that were being pumped into him to

(01:06:28):
save his life, he still has chronic pain from some
of the after effects of getting over the vibrio infection.
So I'm not again, I'm not trying to scare anybody
out of the water. If I drive down to the
beach this afternoon. I'm getting in if the surf looks
right and I think I can catch trout out there,

(01:06:48):
I'm walking in, but I will have with me as
I always do when I go south to anywhere in Saltwater.
I'll have some of that liquid bandage with me, and
I'll slap it on anything I see that looks like
it might be a little break in my skin and
make sure that I don't have to deal with that stuff.
So watch the kids, watch everybody. It's I think. I

(01:07:13):
think it's probably more dangerous to people who are who
are are older, for starters, and their immune systems aren't
as strong as they used to be, and that's just
nature's way of kind of saying, Okay, you've had your shot.
I believe it's I think younger, stronger people, healthier people

(01:07:35):
aren't nearly at the same risk. And Shannon Tompkins and
I actually had this discussion once sitting around the newspaper
desk one afternoon. One of us, probably both of us
maybe even at the time, had been working on stories
about Bibrio and one of the things that something he
pointed out that I hadn't really thought of was that
back when when we were younger, and handling a lot

(01:07:57):
of fish, and handling a lot of live shrink, and
this that and the other, and in the water constantly,
and all all our hands were just they were just
right there in the danger zone. Every now and then
the next morning you just kind of go to close
your hands and they feel a little tight. And he
wondered whether that might have been a Vibrio infection trying

(01:08:21):
to get to you. But you were you're an immune system,
meaning his in mind. We were just talking between each other,
between ourselves. He wondered if that might have been kind
of a starter kit for vibrio and our own immune
systems were able to stave it off and not be
a problem. I haven't posed that question. I haven't asked

(01:08:42):
if that's possibility yet to any any doctors who study
this stuff. I wish I still had the contact name
of the man who helped me with the early stories
about that stuff. But again, don't don't let it spoil
your plans. It's like snakes, it's like sharks, it's like spiders,

(01:09:03):
it's like all the scorpions, all the venomous things out there.
If you respect it and you know what to do,
if you encounter it, you will be.

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
Okay, Let's see what Rick's got on here.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Rick sent me an email just now Vienna sausage sardines.
All forgot about them? God, I went to a sardine phase.
Oh my word, Vienna sausage sardines, pack of baked potato
topping mixed in ranch dressing. I might try that, Rick,

(01:09:39):
I just might take a swing at that. So Vienna sausage.
Where do the sardines come in? It's either Vienna sausage
or sardines or is it both? And you just dip
them in ranch dressing mixed with baked potato toppings. I'm
almost confused, but I think I know what he's trying

(01:10:02):
to tell me to test, and that sounds way better
than a moldy ding dong. It makes me kind of
giggle every like this nine year old coming out in
me laughing when I say moldy ding dong. That's so pathetic.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
Let's take a break, Frankie before we get in trouble.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Shooter's Corner Palmer Tot Palmer Highway at twenty ninth Street
down there in Texas City. That's Jerry and JTK, two
of the best gunsmiths I've ever met, certainly, and a
fantastic place to take a gun that's giving you trouble
and nobody else seems to be able to or willing
to fix it at a reasonable price. Shooter's Corner is
just an old school gun store. It's been there forty

(01:10:43):
plus years. These guys know their stuff. Everybody in the
store that anybody they hire down there, has a tremendous
working knowledge of firearms, how they work, what's best for
what situation. All of that, you're gonna get straight answers
from people who actually walk the wall and are qualified
to talk to talk. Whether you're brand new to shooting

(01:11:05):
or you've been punching holes in paper for fifty years,
you're gonna get exactly what you need, exactly what you
want to continue enjoying the shooting sports just a little
more tomorrow than you do today. Very fun place to go.
There's always law enforcement in there, because anybody who wears
a badge for a living gets a discount. At Shooter's Corner.
There are places to sit down too, and you might

(01:11:27):
wonder why they're there, Well, it's because when you get
in there and start shooting the bull and having story
time from everybody. You're gonna listen to somebody's story and
then they'll stick around and listen to yours. Everybody's there
to embrace and enjoy the shooting sports. That's what Shooter's
Corner has always been and what it'll always be, Family
owned and operated. V Shooters Corner t X dot com.

(01:11:50):
V Shooters Corner tx dot com. Southside, heading down that way,
maybe gonna swing by the Flat Museum. That'd be kind
of cool. You can do that today or tomorrow, same
as you can go play Timber Creek Golf Club today
or tomorrow. Either way, you're gonna have a great time
at the This is twenty seven holes, okay, twenty seven holes,

(01:12:10):
so they're able to get out and get playing more
people than an average eighteen hole course. They all these
holes just kind of wind, I'll call it gently. There's
no such thing as an easy golf course, but this
one sets up to where if you just pay attention
and hit the ball where the architect kind of wants

(01:12:30):
you to hit the ball, and you'll see it, see
it from standing right there on the tee box, then
you're gonna have a good time. Now, if you realize
where you're supposed to hit the ball and more often
than not do not do that. Then ease over to
JJ Woods teaching facility in that ten building next to
the driving range. They got a big, big practice putting

(01:12:52):
range too, or practice putting green where you can practice
those puts of years and shave a few strokes off
your score as you go around. Great food, great fun,
great people. Timber Creek Golf Club. They're on FM twenty three,

(01:13:13):
Club dot com. Hi, welcome back nine thirty six on
Sports Talk seven ninety The Doug Pike Show. Thank you
for listening. I certainly do appreciate it. Boy, I got
something from Cowboys and mask. You guy out there at
Phoenix Knives he has. It's kind of funny, really, it's
well played. Phoenix Facts Friday all spelled with phs and

(01:13:37):
he's just got all kinds of stuff coming up. He's
gonna be on the road. He's gonna be see where
is that one, one, two, Like four or five knife
shows where he's gonna be traveling. There's gonna be one
in Conroe in November. I'm trying to find the close
by stuff Fort Worth in March of next year. He's
going to Louisiana this month, the thirteenth and fourteenth. Over

(01:14:03):
there in Gonzales. That guy's on the road all the time.
I can't imagine if he gets pulled over. I don't
know if he ever gets pulled over, but if he
does and they say, what's in the back of the
truck and he says, oh, I don't know, like five
hundred knives and some swords and a couple of axe
handles or axe blades and whatever, that might get some

(01:14:25):
people's attention. He'd have some explaining to do, I'm sure.
But I'm sure he's also fully capable of explaining himself
after being in the business since nineteen seventy nine. Holy cow,
I just found that interesting, and I'll use that. I'm
gonna try to get that every Friday from him. I'm
on the list now, finally, yay, and I'll have a

(01:14:47):
better understanding of what he's doing and when he's gonna
be there. If you want to meet him when you
go out there to their place in Belleville. If you
don't have a place to hunt doves tomorrow, you might
want to consider a rundown of the coast. The next
four five days are supposed to be pretty flat as
is today. Wave heights. I kind of got tickled. I

(01:15:07):
looked at the surf forecast at at Saltwater Recon and
the wave heights. Anybody who's surfed around here knows well
enough that it's knee high, thigh high, chest high, waist high,
kneed a chest or whatever, need a waist, and on

(01:15:28):
and on and on and then and it just goes
up to double overhead and then it just it's just
uncontrollable after that. But on the other other end of
the spectrum, when it gets smaller and smaller and smaller,
you get what was there this morning where the wave
heights were described as ankle to knee high, Which, yeah,

(01:15:50):
it's kind of like nobody's gonna get knocked down by
one of those, I can assure you, Which also tells
me that might not be a bad weekend holiday crowds aside,
that's going to be an issue. You're going to have
a hard time getting to and from the beach. My
son's down there at a friend's beach house right now,

(01:16:12):
and he said he had one heck of a time
getting there on yeah, Friday, they went down Friday afternoon.
They went down after school, well, no, he was off
school Friday. He had to go get a little rock
chip fixed. That's what he did. He went up to
VIP Auto Glass on Hempstead Highway. I used to speak
for Lisa Hill and her husband who owned that business,

(01:16:33):
and I was very happy to send him up there
because I knew they'd fix that chip the right way,
and it did, and at a very fair price too.
I didn't mind sending that money over to them, not
at all, as it kept me. It saved me a
significant amount over a different company that I had to
use when I was out of town one time. I

(01:16:54):
mean significant. They are good people over there, and they'll
take care of you. In any event, there is going
to be some pretty good fish going on. It looks
like overall this entire coming week should be good along
the coast at least conditions wise. Now, whether you catch
a bunch of fish or not, that's kind of on you.
But hopefully you'll catch some and you should, and please,

(01:17:17):
once again stay safe. We had that fatality on Friday
up on Lake Comroad to kick off the holiday weekend
with a very troubling note. A man. There were two
men and a woman in a boat coming back going
to the marina to just end their fun day on
the water, and this guy's cap blew off and they

(01:17:41):
turned the boat around, and for some reason unknown to
this point, for some reason, the man whose cap had
been blown off his head decided to jump in the
water and get it. And when he did, he got
himself into a little bit of trouble. And the other
man on the boat umped in to try to help him,

(01:18:02):
but wasn't able to.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
And so the guy who lost his cap lost his life.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
And that's a horrible way to start the holiday weekend
from a safety perspective. But for any of you who
have plans to be on the water, who have plans
to be even driving anywhere, just know that a lot
of people on the road, especially in the afternoon, coming
home from Galveston, coming home from Freeport, coming home, coming

(01:18:33):
back up the freeways back into Houston, from Lake Conra,
from Lake Houston, from anywhere out that way, you have
got to keep your head on a swivel because a
lot of those people will have been drinking. I saw
some of the billboards, and I heard a couple of
PSAs earlier in the weekend with the state Highway Patrol

(01:18:56):
talking about we're not going to ask you if you
if we pull you over, we're not gonna ask you
if you want to take a breathalyzer test. You're just
gonna take it mandatory if we think you've been drinking.
And I hope that anybody and everybody in this audience
is smart enough to say, sure, I'll do that. I'm
gonna blow a zero guaranteed there's no alcohol in my system.

(01:19:19):
Do that and you get to go on your way.
Maybe you get a speeding ticket, maybe you don't. I
don't know. That's a different story. But as long as
you're sober, I'm pretty sure you're gonna be sent on
your merry way. And that's how I hope it ends
for all of us. I've seen people on the road lately.
Saw one just yesterday on the way home. This guy.

(01:19:42):
Something was wrong with that guy, something was wrong, and
he was somehow impaired. He was driving, he was d
UI something, driving under the influence of something, and it
wasn't good vibes for sure. Let's take a little break here,
last break of the pro When we get back, I'm
going to go back to those sunglasses and shooting glasses

(01:20:05):
more specifically, not sunglasses. You can wear whatever you want
for the sun, but there are different shades of shooting
glasses that are better and worse for different shooting conditions,
and it's it's a good idea to get one of
those sets like I've got that come with a frame
with interchangeable lenses. They're very light weight. You could you could,

(01:20:27):
and I've seen a lot of people do it. You
could wear those over your prescription glasses if you needed to,
rather than try to buy prescription glasses, which become very
expensive when you start adding tint and color to the lenses.
Five pairs of those versus about a twenty twenty five

(01:20:48):
dollars investment in the ballistic plastic lenses, as long as
you keep them clean and don't scratch them up. You don't,
you don't clean them with sandpaper, and they're going to
last you a long long time. One more time, I'm
going to tell you about champions tree preservation, so that
you are you have no excuse if you don't get
them to your house before we get a big old

(01:21:10):
whatever in the Gulf of Mexico that comes ramming through
here starts knocking down trees. Think back to the last
time you were here for a hurricane, and when the
wind finally stopped blowing, you got out and kind of
rolled around, drove around, and everywhere you look, there's trees down.
Everywhere you look, there's trees down. Those were not healthy
trees when the wind started blowing. There's a reason they

(01:21:30):
came down. And Champions Tree Preservation will send you an
arborist to your house to explain to you whether there
is or is not anything wrong with your trees. If
there's not, they'll just shake your hands. Thanks for calling,
appreciate it. We're glad to come out here and help
you out. If there is something wrong. They have the crews,
they have the equipment, they have everything they need to

(01:21:52):
do whatever work is necessary to get that tree of
yours or those trees of yours back in storm shape.
It's like working out. If you don't work out your body,
it's going to fall apart if it's put under stress.
If your trees aren't healthy, if they're not pruned. If
they're not fed, they may let you down in a

(01:22:12):
big old blow. Protect your house. That's the biggest investment
you've got, and if a tree falls on it, that's
going to be a problem. Championstree dot com is a website.
Give them a call, set up an appointment to have
them come out there and take care of business for you.

(01:22:36):
Land Waterfowl Club out there in Eagle Lake around Eagle Leg,
and I mean by around, I mean all around several
thousand acres of water, dozens of blinds, all at least
a quarter of a mile apart, and strategically place so
that they're very easy to access. Even if you don't

(01:22:57):
like walking down levies for a long ways, even if
you hate walking through flooded fields, you're gonna be able
to get into almost every one of these blinds with
no hassle, no headaches, and probably knee boots unless there's
been a big old rain. This Riceland Waterfowl Club is
run by a guy named David Pruett. Okay, he's been
in this business. He's owned this business since it was

(01:23:19):
started fifty years ago, and every year for fifty years,
he's tried and succeeded in getting more properties to hunt.
He's succeeded in building better and more blinds. He's succeeded
in maintaining just the right number of members, and members
in their guests are the only people who get to

(01:23:39):
hunt these places just the right number of members, so
that everybody has a great shot at getting their first
choices on blinds the same amount of times all season long.
Everybody's got a great chance of getting on ducks every
time they go into the field. You don't have to
all meet at one place either. This is something I
really like. All the selections are made before the day's hunt.

(01:24:04):
Like I said, for example, for tomorrow, if you were
going to go duck hunting tomorrow and the season was open,
all of that decision making on where you would hunt
would be done today, so by a little bit after dark,
you'd know where you and your buddies had to meet
up tomorrow, rather than everybody drive into a spot like
I used to have to do one hundred years ago

(01:24:25):
when I was hunting geese as a young man on
his own with a couple other buddies out on that
Katie Prairie. We all had to meet in the same
place and then bag and pray and hope that we
got a good spot. You'll know exactly where you're going
the night before, which really is helpful if you're hunting

(01:24:45):
wasn't great this past season. You didn't get a lot
of ducks. Check out Ricelandwaterfowl Club dot com. Riceland Waterfowl
Club dot com. Great guy, he's got a lot of
good property and he's going to have a whole lot
of ducks. Riceland Waterfowl Club dot com. WHI welcome back

(01:25:06):
two on Sports Talk seven to ninety Real quickly, I'm
gonna make a phone call after the show to a
woman named Devin Sayir.

Speaker 4 (01:25:13):
She is.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
She she has a position with.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
Something called the Wild School. And this is something I
learned about this week. That's just an amazing concept. I
hadn't thought about it before. But what they do at
six or seven locations around town is take little kids,
and by little I mean from about three years old
up to around twelve something like that, but take them

(01:25:39):
outside and if it's raining, they go play in the
rain as long as it's not lightning, I'm sure. But
they take them out and let them stomp around in
mud puddles, They let them pick up sticks, and they
let them play in the dirt and do things outdoors.
Let them climb some lirit low area, safe area. They're
they're very safe, empty conscious, and not like they just

(01:26:01):
throw a bunch of kids out in a vacant lot
and sit back in the car and listen to the radio.
It's a very structured thing from the professional side of it,
but for the kids, it's something they hardly ever get
to do anymore. And when I saw how much it
cost to put a kid through one of these little sessions.

Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
I thought, man, y'all aren't charging enough.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
People should and would pay more than that to give
their children some outdoors experience, especially parents who don't have
any at all and are scared to go in the
outdoors because they don't know anything about it. This is
tremendously valuable to these kids to let them just be
kids in the outdoors, to let them take little chances.

(01:26:47):
They'll think they're climbing Mount Everest, when in fact they're
just stepping up onto a rock that's about a foot
off the ground and falling off of that's not going
to hurt them.

Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
I love this thing. You're gonna hear more about this,
I guarantee you.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
I'm gonna have or on. I'm probably on fifty plus
for the grandparents in the audience. Just go and call
their kids and say, hey, you need to get my
grandchildren signed up for this because you don't get them
out in the dirt enough. I'm really I'm gonna really
go after that one. Let me get faux pro on
here before I run him out of time. Faux Pro?

Speaker 8 (01:27:19):
What's up, Dug Pike?

Speaker 5 (01:27:23):
I will say, faux Pro pipe putting for par in
the Purple Polo.

Speaker 1 (01:27:27):
Oh God, the Lord, you try.

Speaker 5 (01:27:33):
I tried.

Speaker 1 (01:27:34):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (01:27:34):
Man?

Speaker 5 (01:27:35):
Yeah? Well, I wanted to bring to light something a
lot of people out the way. We've been out scouting
and I'm wiscouting five properties today public Land. Yeah, and
took our rotten reels and we've caught more fish than
we've seen does. But it's what I want to get at, though,
is you know a lot of I hear friends every year. Man,
I wish I could afford a dathe so I wish

(01:27:55):
I could afford dearly, so I wish I had somewhere
to hunt. You have a million acre leave for forty
eight dollars. You can hunt, you can fish, you can
search about what you want to hunt and fish, and
there's always something relatively close to where you're at. For
forty eight bucks, we've been crushing fish all day. The
big dog lie sense you a picture? Yeah, no, kid,
no having a blast. You know. Yeah, we're not seeing birds,
but we're catching fish and we're having fun on properly

(01:28:17):
we've never seen.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
You know. One of the biggest knocks on Texas is
that it's mostly privately owned, and it is. It's like
ninety three, ninety five, ninety seven percent privately owned whatever.
But there is a significant amount of public property. And
for someone such as you and your buddy out there today,
who are willing to go scout these places and you

(01:28:39):
can have a pretty good time.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
Oh yeah, for sure. I mean the smallest one I've
looked at today's eighty eight acres, and the other one
one hundred and fifty and h there's some really pretty
bodies of water on this I'm like, man, I'm glad
we I brought the wrong wod obviously, I wish I
had brought a frag road, But man, I brought a
spinner around and the beetlespin. Everything eats a beetlespin, So
that's what I bought.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
Well, isn't that the true truth? How much does the
beetle spend these days? I hadn't bought one in a
long time.

Speaker 5 (01:29:04):
Oh, man, I think they're like used to buy a
card of them for two fifty. What was the name
of that place? Fishing tackle, A fishing tackle and unlimited?

Speaker 1 (01:29:18):
Oh downtown, downtown. Oh, Now, I'd be lying if I
told you, But yeah, I remember the fishing tackle unlimited
hosts of a deal every year.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
This is something you might want to come down for
for us.

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
Every year they bring in all their reps, and you know,
all the different manufacturers reps, and what they do is
they sell off at significant discount all of their samples
that they've been lugging around all year. What's that thue
for you? You need some more?

Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
I'm aways.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
I'm always buying, I honestly God. And I hope I
hope they're listing, ma'am, because I've still got in my garage.
You know about my garage. In my I picked up
a bag the other day that was full of stuff
that I had bought at one of those demo days,
probably five years ago, and just had put out in

(01:30:12):
the garage and not even open sens. But I found
some good stuff in there. I forgot I had it.

Speaker 5 (01:30:18):
Incorporated.

Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
Oh yes, oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly what
it was.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
I do remember that place. Yeah, bars my favorite thing
to do as a kid, you.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
Know, worm bars. I think warm bars should make a
comeback because just so many people are throwing plastics right now.
But you know why they won't because there's a whole
lot more money in selling them six at a time
than there is a handful at a time. Oh and
that's just that's the way it goes, man, that's the
way we go to I hear the music. I don't
know if you do, man, as you're out there in

(01:30:48):
the wild. For you, we will keep looking, all right,
keep the pictures coming, man. All right, buddy, thanks faux
pro audios. All right, we got to take a little
out of here. We're gonna go. What's up next, FRANKI
you know offhand? Fox Sports? Yeah, Fox Sports? Yeah, all right, listen,
if you want to get outside, if you want to

(01:31:10):

with your family. For goodness sakes, please stay safe.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):

time off to recharge for batteries. You guys, get out there,
