(00:01):
Remember when it was impossible to misplacethe TV remote because you were the TV
remote. Remember when music sounded likethis? You remember when social media was
truly social? Hey John, how'sit going today? Well, this show
is all about you. This isfifty plus with Doug Pike, helpful information

(00:28):
on your finances, good health,and what to do for fun. Fifty
plus brought to you by the UTHealth Houston Institute on Aging Informed Decisions for
a healthier, happier life, andby Texas Indoor Air Quality Specialists because clean
air is healthier air. And nowfifty plus with Doug Pike. All Right,

(00:50):
Friday edition of the program starts rightnow. Welcome one and all.
I guess I'm pretty darn nice Fridayafternoon. Du If you haven't gotten outside
yet to absorb your daily dose ofvitamin D, go ahead, get outside,
get your vitamin D. I haveloved being outdoors since I was a
little kid growing up in Sharpstown.Had a half a dozen boys my age

(01:11):
on the block too, so itwas pretty easy to get up a baseball
game or a football game out inthe street pretty much any afternoon too.
Lots of scrape knees and elbows backthen, lots of band aids and merthiolate.
If you remember that this audience willWill Melbourne may not. I don't
know, Melvin, just give mea nod of the head. Do you
remember merthiolate being put on cuts andscrapes? Yes, indeed, huh yeah,

(01:37):
Man, Melvin's in here. He'sgonna be helping me out on the
weekends, which just shuffles everything.And we've already established it. We probably
walked a lot of the same groundover in Metorie and New Orleans. So
he's going to be a welcome issueto the program. And I'll I'll be
sad to lose at him. Butthe last thing he needs to do for
me is get me another bag ofthose little what were the flowers that he

(01:57):
gave me? The seed for daffils? Daffodils. Yeah, my yard guy
came by, Melvin, and Itold him two weeks ago those little things
in that backflower bed back there,those are flowers. Don't don't we whack
them? Okay? And he comesin last Sunday and shaved them clean.
M he gave my daffodils a Brazilianwhatever. That is, all right?

(02:22):
So moving forward, Oh my gosh, we used to have so much fun
back then too. Growing up,we'd go to the baseball field sometimes we
catch tadpoles and turtles and go washout no mayonnaise jar and poke holes and
the lid and catch honey bees offthe lugustrin bushes. That was always fun.
You'd get about ten or twelve inthere and not a one of them
happy to be in a jar,and it became real tricky to open it

(02:46):
just enough to get another one inwithout letting two or three of them out
to come sting you. Night.We'd follow those mosquito trucks put out that.
I guess it was some terrible thingto breeze. Really, it was
diesel smoke combined with something that coddthe mosquito's wings and kept them from flying,
just knocked them to the ground.Thick stuff. I'm pretty sure it

(03:06):
did our lungs no favors, butI can't can't be sure the damage was
permanent, at least i'm so far. Knock on wood, I'm okay.
Cigarettes probably a whole lot worse,But back then we didn't know even doctors
did commercials for cigarettes. Right nowwe got football players telling us to get
vaccinated. I'm really not sure whichseems more ridiculous to be perfectly honest,

(03:29):
I don't want my medical news comingfrom some guy who plays well he yeah,
anyway, he and Taylor Swift theycan do their own thing. Are
they will? Are they still acouple? Even? Know? What makes
you think? So? I thoughtI saw something about him being kind of
national news if t Swift and what'shis name? Kelsey something? Kelsey?

(03:53):
Oh, Travis kelch that No,that's him or his brother Melvin. Can
you help us out which Kels isit? Oh? I have no idea.
Okay, well, well see noyou say, I'll get back to
you on that. Remember that's that'sthe keyword that means we're gonna move on.
Ten second forecast goes like this,pretty good today, slight chance of
rain tomorrow afternoon, then eighty percentchance Saturday night and right into Sunday.

(04:17):
Then it clears and cools on Mondayand Tuesday, and that's it for weather.
Oil's climbing again as his gold backnorth of twenty four hundred bucks an
ounce. And that little tidbit broughtto you, as always by Houston Gold
Exchange. Thank you, brad On. We go to what do I want
to do here today? Shuffle itup a little bit. How much time

(04:39):
do we have? Will we haveabout two minutes? No? Three minutes?
Heavens, I got all kinds oftime. I was a little bit
concerned when I watched a video thismorning of a high school boy out in
California arguing with his teacher, awoman. She's seated in a chair at
the head of the class, presumablyhaving some sort of discussion. We really

(05:02):
don't ever get what caused the argument, but the young man just kind of
moves closer to her, closer toher, kind of leaning in, and
you can tell he's pretty worked up, and then he just pulls his left
arm back and slaps her smack acrossthe face. If that kid is not

(05:23):
charged with some sort of crime andprosecuted for his crime, that's just something
else that's wrong with the country.Crimes committed every day on video because there's
cameras everywhere, and the criminals justjust fled get away with it. They're
not charged at all, cut loosefast thing be processed and released. And
I'm afraid that the message from thattype of type of punishment for crimes is

(05:47):
just do what you want we're moreafraid of you than you are of our
courtrooms and judges. And that's justnot a tenable position. Where to where
to Tennessee? This one I'll allend with because it's very neutral but very
ridiculous. Tennessee rarely does something dumbenough to make headlines or even make mention

(06:08):
in this show at all. Butthey've done it now. That state government
passed a bill that forbids and i'llquote here intentional injection, release or dispersion
end quote of chemicals into the airand broadly, more broadly, really prohibits
i'll quote again, affecting temperature,weather or the intensity of sunlight. What

(06:32):
how oh I get it? Theymade illegal and unlawful chemtrails, which,
in case you haven't read, arenot even real. They're actually contrails.
It's the condensation of air of moisture, high altitude jets flying over the flying

(06:55):
over the planet all day, everyday, and in some atmospheric conditions a
they produce these con trails, notchem trails, and people see those and
they panic, they think they're beingcovered up with I don't know. It's
like the old mosquito trucks, maybejust a little higher tech mosquito truck only
I'm not so sure it's really possiblefrom thirty four to thirty six thousand feet

(07:18):
to land anything on anybody with anycertainty. It's just they might as well
have outlaud leprechauns and unicorns, becausethat's about the same impact a mercy.
All right, Melbourne hadn't even heardus talk about some of the fun stuff
we get to do. We'll dothat a little bit later in the program.

(07:38):
I think I'll get to this firstbreak on time. On the way
out, I'll tell you about utHealth Institute on Aging. This is a
collaborative of medical providers who are,in addition to their years and years of
training to get where they are,to get that diploma on the wall in
their office, they go back formore training on how bodies relate to their

(08:03):
particular discipline cardiology, pullmanology, youname it, any of the ologies in
medicine. There are doctors, nurses, therapists, trainers, all of whom
are specially trained in senior provision oftheir medical expertise. Ut H dot edu

(08:24):
resources, and pretty much a rosterif you keep looking of everybody who's involved.
They're mostly in the med Center,but you can see them also in
most outlying areas of Houston that coversa lot of ground. Ut h dot

(08:45):
a net? If I suggest yougo to bed, leave it all,
just wait until this show's over.Sleepy Back to Dougpike as fifty plus continues.
Welcome back to fifty plus. Ona pretty dog on nice day outside,
I've got to drive to I thinkit's Parland. I have to go

(09:07):
to this afternoon for a baseball game. Watch my son play a little bit,
hopefully. He's a pitcher and sometimeshe gets to pitch, sometimes he
doesn't. He's been doing pretty wellthough. Lately. I've read a story
that we'll all live longer. Thisis something I had from last week.
I always end up over prepping andhaving extra stuff, and this is what
I wanted to get to though,that we will all live longer and feel

(09:28):
better if we could just get ina ten second hug at least once a
day. Oh, come on around, will no no no, no,
no, no, no no no, you know you're not ready I'm not
ready for a hug right now.I'm working, presumably, I guess you,
yeah, I guess you do haveto do that with somebody who wants
to be hugged. You just can't. You can't somebody on the subway.

(09:50):
That would be no good. Youcan't go up to a coworker and just
hug him. It's it's inappropriate.Well have you thought about it or have
you talked to HR about it?No? I I have not. I
don't think the thought has ever crossedmy mind to say, you know what
that person's as a hug from me? Yeah, that's they're looking kind of

(10:11):
down nothing. It perked them uplike a big old hug from Doug.
And really they're just working, Soleave them alone, throw your arms around
them. I just felt like youneeded this. I bring it up because
of the story I saw that thepower of touch actually can improve sports performance.
According to the story, a simplepat on the back or a high

(10:33):
five before a free throw or apenalty kick or field goal attempt, whatever,
can relieve stress and and in turnresults in better performance overall. This
is really getting into analytics, Ithink, and I can't imagine. I
can't imagine a Spota. What's hisfirst name? Joe Joe a Spota Astro's

(10:56):
manager. Ye, come running outof the dugout and patton jord On Alva
on the shoulder. So come on, I know the counts oh and two,
but you got this yord On calltime. Walk out there. Give
him a pat, give him ahug. That's what he needs. I'm
justyly. Maybe catchers and coaches theyshould. They would have pat their pictures
on the back, go out tothe mound, visit and toward the end,

(11:18):
just pat the guy on the back. Give them a high five that
would come That would kind of bescary. Or maybe get a pat on
the back before all of my badputts and see if it might lower my
handicap a little bit. Maybe.I'm I can't think of any I have
a group of twenty something guys whoplay golf on Mondays. Well we've talked
about that before, and I justthen they are great guys and they're all

(11:41):
for having fun on the golf course. But I cannot think of one of
them who would come over and patme on the back and say, come
on, Doug, you can makethis putt. Come on, buddy,
now, yeah, come on,buddy, that's even creepier. I didn't
even think of it like that.Holy cow. Oh no, will uh.
If you're interested in geology and allthose fun things, go with it.

(12:05):
California's got back in the news thispast week. The San Andrea's fault
is showing signs that it is readyto rock, will ready to shake a
little bit, crack the state rightoff, and send it out in the
Pacific Ocean. Well, let's hopenot that'd be awest not yeah, not
that much. But yeah, thisthing, it basically almost covers the entire

(12:28):
state in north the south, fairlyclose to the coastline too, And there's
all kinds of talk about it there. They get little tremors and whatnot out
there. But and the scary partabout earthquakes to me is you just have
no idea when or where or howvigorous they're going to be. We have
really good technology now that predicts notonly hurricanes but even tornadoes and hail storms

(12:54):
and all these things that can interruptour lives dramatically. But the earthquake they
I mean, they sense these littletrimmers, but that doesn't tell them when
it's coming. It's like a hurricaneif it went within forty eight hours.
They can pretty much tell you wherea hurricane is gonna be within forty eight
hours. I don't think they cantell you anything to predict an earthquake,

(13:16):
and I don't even know how to. I know how to prep for a
hurricane, that's easy, but Idon't know how to do it for an
air for an earthquake. Probably don'tneed to throw your patio furniture in the
pool for an earthquake. I wouldguess you might want to fill up with
gas though, in California, ifthey can still afford it, at least
current average price for gallon. Bythe way, in that state, Will
last week, what was it popquiz in California, I'm gonna go to

(13:39):
California. I'm gonna go with fiveforty for real? You guessed that for
a gallon of gas? Yeah,five forty one? Will, that's your
best? Look at that? Lookat that. I'm gonna go it off
for Melvin, aren't you? Well? You know it off? Yeah,
that's that's as close as you evercome, melbow Like within Normally he would

(14:01):
say something like twelve cents or fortyeight dollars, and he nailed that.
Good job though, really the cowyou're way up on the what can I
say, the California News, I'ma learned man, you are, among
other things. On the bright side, fast food workers they are making twenty
dollars an hour and now two andthe ones who lost their jobs because of

(14:22):
that raid hike, I guess theydon't really need to drive anywhere for a
while. That's becoming more of anuisance than I think even Gavin Newsom thought
it could possibly become more and morepeople not really thrilled with his movement to
do that. And on top ofthat, exempting some restaurants just because they

(14:43):
bake and sell their own bread,they don't have to pay their workers twenty
bucks makes no sense at all.How much time will we have? Two
minutes? Oh? By the way, Melvin, And the difference between Saturday
and today on this is that Ican't see a clock in here to know
where we are. Oh, there'sone behind me in here. Every other
studio we're in, though, doesnot have one. So I have to

(15:05):
rely on my official timekeeper, andhe's pretty good. And I guess,
with what two minutes left? Willwe get a time out? Two in
the morning. Yeah, and thenthe buzzer, the shot clock and all
that. Yeah, don't do that. You can't want any kind of sounds
like that. You can get usin trouble. Oh man, Ken,
you gotta be careful. We werejust talking about buzzers, okay, very

(15:26):
quickly. Only a gimps or aglimpse. Not a gimps. Only a
glimp is a different story. Yeah, wouldn't it be useless record or rat
race. Let's go with useless record? You know I left me. Yeah,
well we got two of them today. Maybe we'll get to the other
one. Sixty nine year ogo oldguy in Australia breaks a world record by

(15:46):
hitting one hundred and twenty different barsin twenty four hours. Wow. The
rules, there are rules for thisrecord. You have to order a drink
and concee consume. Goly, what'swrong with my brain in my mouth?
They're just so out of sync.Consume at least four ounces of that drink.

(16:07):
Don't have to they don't have tobe alcoholic, thank god. That
would have been like the one hundredand twenty. First up would have been
the hospital or the morgue. Yeah, provid bab yeah, probably so.
But anyway. Yeah, one hundredand twenty bars in twenty four hours.
And I'm sure his family is justso proud, just so proud. I
know I am. You're gonna challengeit. I would love to have that

(16:30):
person on the show. Call him, get him on the show. All
if you can get him, I'lltalk to him. Okay, I'll give
him five minutes, five minutes.Yeah, gotta give him at least one
segment. Yeah, okay, sir, mister Australian guy, name those bars.
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Wegotta get out of here. A

(16:52):
Late Health is the place for thoseof us guys who are dealing with in
large non cancerous prostates. Boy,if you know, if you have one,
you know the symptoms and they arenot comfortable and you would love to
get rid of them, and thelate Health can help with that. Just
a couple of hours in the officeand all of a sudden, what they're

(17:14):
gonna do is go in and identifythe artery that feeds that prostate, its
supply of oxygenated blood, and thenthey're gonna shut it off. It's amazing.
I've learned a lot about this process. They go in there and they
basically just they put a cork inthat artery, not a real cork,
but you know something's medical that stopsthat blood flow, and as that continues

(17:40):
to take effect, the prostate shrinks. The prostate gets out of your way,
and all your male function goes backto where it should be. They
can do the same with fibroids forwomen. They can make ugly veins disappear
no matter where they are, andalmost all of what they do there is
covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Andbecause you're getting it done in their clinics,

(18:02):
you get to go home to recuperatewhere you're gonna be more comfortable,
where your family's just gonna pamper youand you don't have to worry about running
up and down the hall and havingthat gown flapping behind you in the breeze.
They also do a lot of regenerativemedicine too, and this is really
exciting. This regenerative stuff is theIt is proving extremely effective at dealing with

(18:23):
chronic pain, and nobody should haveto suffer chronic pain ever. Period into

(18:52):
Welcome back clicks plus on Friday afternoon. In this segment, We'm got
them talk about our yards and somegood ideas on how to keep them healthy
and strong and fortunately for us allI'll be asking the questions and Misty Mathis,
co owner of Harvest Gold Organics,is going to provide the answers.
What's going on, Misty? Howare you today? Hey? I'm good.

(19:14):
How are you? Doug there havingme on? Oh, you're quite
welcome. Yeah. The average Iwas thinking about this earlier today. Average
front yards probably got what two orthree trees, eight or ten different shrubs
and flowers, and a whole bunchof Saint Augustine to kind of anchor it
and tie it all together. Andtaking care of all of that really requires
more than just water and a littlefertilizer, doesn't it. It's sure,

(19:34):
guys. Is that why my stuffwon't grow? Yeah? I'm and I'm
trying to be and I've I've gonethrough a lot of people who swore to
me that they could make everything growin my yard, and I just one
by one they've they've fallen by thewayside. I think I got the right
guy now, though, who knows. I guess it really all starts with
healthy soil and and I just readthis week actually that soil conditioners can make

(19:59):
a real big difference. Talk aboutwhat they do and how often we ought
to use them. Okay, Well, soil conditioners is really going to help
you just get a good structure going, and it's going to support your plants
as you're going through these harsher temperatureswe're about to face. You know,
summer is coming, and it getsa little hard to maintain our plants if

(20:22):
we don't have the right support inour soil. And good soil conditioners hardest
gold organics. It's a process thatI recycle from a historic gold mine.
And this product is really unique becauseit has a silica stand that is shaped
shaped in an angular way and itreally helps to grab on to water and

(20:48):
nutrients and hold them in the soil. And so you know we run into
oh I forgot to water, oryou know, you're just stressed out about
the heat out there. This product, this kind of product can really support
that as it holds on to themoisture in the soil, and it protects
the plants from heat stress because silica, as it's added to a plant and

(21:10):
as it's sped to a plant,it can help the stalks and the leaves
to be more hydrated and also tojust hold up to you know, extreme
temperatures. So when you add somethinglike this into the soil, and you
can use also mulch, is areally good way to kind of keep the
heat off your plants, keep thesoil you know, at a good temperature.

(21:34):
And so you can also top dresswith molt around your plants, but
you want to be careful not toput it too close to the stems.
You want to give some area aroundthe stems. And so in combination,
you know, using a mult ina good soil conditioner that holds the water
in the soil around the roots isreally going to help support it when it

(21:56):
gets hotter. Thank you. Let'sstick with the for just a minute.
A lot of people in my neighborhoodhave all these different colored mulches out there.
Some of it almost jet black,some of it kind of orangey looking.
Uh. It gives a lot ofpop, a lot of contrast.
But I've heard that those aren't good. What do you say, okay,
well you just want an organic molt, something such shredded bark or wood shrip

(22:19):
chips. You may not want togo with something that has a coloring on
it. We just like to keepit simple and that's made mainly for temperature
regulation. If you're not looking foryou know, that kind of look,
you can use like a silica sandlike mine, even just regular eggs and

(22:40):
put around in your beds. It'sgoing to help to hold the moisture.
I think that the molts just kindof acts like a shade to keep it
keep it in and keep the moisturein because you want to you want to
have that extra moisture retention warmth inthe winter and shade in the summer.
Huh. How deep should that mulchbe for summertime protection from the heat.

(23:07):
You want to go down about twoto three inches around the plants, but
make sure to make like a doughnutshape around there. You want to back
off the stem a little bit soyou have some room there and you don't
want to encourage root rot with that. And like the silica sand that's mixed
into the soil will also help withthat. It's going to help to prevent

(23:30):
root rot, and it's going togive the porosity that your plants need to
kind of stretch out and have roomto grow and release that excess water because
we do get a lot of raintoo. What do we not get a
lot of around here? Honestly it'sextra here in Texas? Boy, yeah,
in spade. So what about averifyingour yards? How often should we

(23:52):
be doing that? Okay, wellyou want to do that anytime you're introducing
a new amendment or you know,if you're putting down seed, it's good.
I like to turn my lawn.You know, it's really kind of
hard to keep all on it,especially if you don't have you know,
some in ground irrigation here in Texas. So you know, putting down a

(24:17):
silica sand and a compost is reallygood too if you are, you know,
composting, that's a good thing tokeep in the mix when you're putting
down seed. But that's a goodtime to errate so you can encourage you
know, that movement and every dropcount. So you know, if you
have ferocity in your soil, it'sreally going to help things to get absorbed.

(24:38):
But something like harvest old organics,which is you know, a silica
sand can also support that, andthere's other amendments you can mix into.
It's good to go to your localgarden store and support them. There's also
some really good soil and composting kindboutique companies there in Houston. I like

(25:03):
the Soil Factory. They do areally good job of getting a nice blend
for you. And if you can'tmake your own compost, it's just a
way to add some richness and supportto your soil as you're getting ready to
airate. You mentioned just the oneI was going to ask you, where
where can your product be found aroundhere? Okay, well, you want

(25:25):
to get our product online, It'sHarvest gold Organics dot com. And you
can also suggest us to your localstore. We love the recommendation, especially
if you try us and you likeit. It's just going to support the
overall health of your plants, helpyou get through the summer, help prevent
disease, and just really kind ofgive your soil an extra boost. It

(25:48):
has, you know, silica andother plant essential elements that are just naturally
occurring in this geology from this goldmine. It was very interesting that you
know, we had all of theseminerals just naturally already in the mix,
and it's organic certified, so it'sgood to you know, only try to

(26:08):
use organic matter in your garden.And when you're composting, you know,
just be cognizant of what you're addingto your compost. But you can add
something like this Harvest Gold will helpyou know your compost and any soil really
thrive and have the space within itthat allow your plants to reach out and

(26:30):
you know, not have problem withdisease or mildew. That certainly sounds good
to me. Misty math Is fromHarvest Gold Organics. Thank you so much
for your time today. I reallyappreciate that. Thanks for having me on.
You have a great day, youbet, all right, bub all
right, We've got to take alittle break here. Let me get the
back where I was. There's whereI was, There's where I am,

(26:52):
Not where I was. Kirk Holmes, that's an easy one for me.
Nine years, I think it isnow maybe ten. I've been explaining to
people that kirk Holmes is an exquisitebuilder of custom homes anywhere from pretty much
northwest northwest Houston all the way outthrough the hill country Austin. San Antonio
College Station. Anywhere between hither andYon, you wouldn't have to look far

(27:17):
to find a Kirk Hoomb out thatway because they've been doing this now for
three generations, thirty plus years ofthis and they are fantastic at what they
do. And oh, by theway, in case you haven't heard me
tell you before, in the lastfew weeks, they are the twenty twenty
four Southern Living Builder of the Year. That's kind of a big deal in

(27:37):
the home building business to be namedSouthern Livings Builder of the Year. And
that's the latest accolade that Kirk Hoombshas gotten. If they keep this up,
they're going to need a bigger trophycase. They really are. The
Only things that are common in thesehomes built by Kirk Coombs are there twenty
year structural warranty which is twice thestandard, and those two by six exterior

(27:57):
walls for insulation against the heat andthe cold that Misty and I were just
talking about. Kirkholmes dot com.Let them start you on your journey to
your dream home. Much help oras little help as you need. Just
show up and start talking to themand they will help you. Eventually.

(28:18):
They're going to hand you the keysto your dream home and you're gonna love
it. Kirkcombs dot com k your K because at Kirk Combs it's all
about you. You know. Theysure don't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we washthem, check his fluids, and
spring on a fresh coat of wax. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

(29:00):
All right, we're back. We'regonna wrap it up here in a
few minutes. I was giving Melvinsome tips on getting his son out and
get him his Will it be hisfirst fish? Oh man, Yeah,
we got to do that. Wegotta get together. I can definitely help
you with all of that. I'llhave to give you more details. Maybe
Saturday morning we'll do a tutoril.And most of my audience already knows that

(29:22):
not only well in that Missouri Citylake I was telling you about, not
only will the catfish eat that,but the little perch'll eat it too.
They'll steal you blind if you're notcareful. Just peel it off your hook
and you never know it. Butmy son and his buddy Robbie also caught
one day on a kernel of cornabout a twelve pound carp and yeah,
they've been catching foot long catfish andthis fish grabs that bait and the court

(29:47):
goes down and man, it wason. It was on for a couple
of minutes. Yeah, that wasfun. I'll give you. I'm glad
you're that close because it makes iteasy because I can give you six or
eight places to go fish. Andwhat I'll tell you is what I tell
anybody in my audience on the weekendsover on KB and ME who's asking about
this. Going fishing with your sonor daughter is about connecting to them.

(30:11):
So you don't just grab them oneSaturday morning and say come on with me,
we're going fishing. You start acouple of days early and you start
say, hey, I'm thinking abouttaking you fishing. Would you like that?
Yeah? I like that. Iwant to go. I wonder where
we should go. Do you knowof any lakes around here? Have you
have you looked around at? Doany of your friends start and you So
you strike up a conversation there andthen you go fishing. And you stay

(30:33):
with a with a twelve year old, You can keep him out there a
solid hour easy, maybe an hourand a half. Bring a friend that's
always a good idea because then andbring a football and they can go through
the football when they get bored,and then you sit over there and you
start catching fish again and they'll comeback. Yeah, there's a lot.

Catching fish these days anywhere outside theLoop, I could. I could
show you a spot within any zipcode outside the Loop and you could go
over there and catch a fish intwenty minutes. It's just that easy.
But people don't they don't understand that. I had so many people would call

(31:15):
me and say, I want totake my son fishing. Should I take
them to Lake Conrad or Galveston.Well you can take them to either one,
but your six year old is gonnabe bored to tears by the time
you get there, and they're notgonna ever want to go fishing again because
all they did was riding the car. So I'm gonna keep you close to
home, put you in some waterthat's got tons of fish in it,

(31:36):
and the rest will be up toyou. Yeah, it's easy, man.
Thanks, I'm glad you're bored andit's gonna be fun. Finally I
got somebody I can help. Geta kid out fishing, get you out
fishing again. Yeah, this isgonna be all right. All right,

World record. Why do they keepthese? They all went on point you

(32:20):
know what that means, on theirtippy toes, on their tippy toes for
a whole minute. Three hundred andfifty three ballerinas. You're going to tell
me that all three hundred and fiftythree of them, not one of them
kind of slipped and just went backon a heel or something one time.
So why three hundred and fifty threewas the previous record three hundred and fifty
two? No, I bet youthe previous record was probably more like two

(32:43):
fifty two seventy five. They're makinga statement here, they're daring, but
anybody got their number though, threefifty three? Why not just three fifty
you know, because they might havebeen three fifty one before. Oh well,

kind of dumb thing you and Imight do at some point. Family in
