Episode Transcript

(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 and byTexas Indoor Air Quality Specialists because clean air
is healthier air. And now fiftyplus with Doug Pike. All right,

(00:50):
third day edition of the program startsright now. For the record, will
we have no guests today? Okay? I just want to make sure,
because yeah, we kind of jumpedthe gun. We went out before the
gate open and tripped over it onon a guy who's actually it's going to
be a very good interview. Butit's scheduled for next week, so we'll
do that then. Okay. Anybodywho checked out the podcast yesterday could maybe

(01:12):
decipher what happened from the title ofthe show. No, what did you
call it? I called it?Producer Will makes a goof couldn't you just
kind of like use that over andover? O laid yourself open for that
one. Count your blessings and yourhands, That's what I'm saying. Yeah,

(01:36):
well, yeah, I make myshare, certainly. I don't know
that I've ever done an entire radioshow where there hasn't been one thing,
one mispronunciation, one misstep over aword. That would be very difficult to
do. Actually, you're trying sittinghere, I'm trying to think ahead of
what I'm saying, and that's alwaysvery difficult. I know. Sometimes you

(01:57):
trip sometimes, you know, andyour brain is always going faster than your
mouth. Mmm. I don't know. My wife would probably disagree. So
anyway, here we find ourselves inthis what is land filled with life experiences
and the ability for most of usto know when when somebody's just lying straight

(02:19):
into our faces and hoping if theytell us to lie often enough, we'll
believe it, which a lot ofpeople still do, unfortunately, including the
gullibles of all ages. So offwe go with ten seconds of weather.
I'll get to some of that later. Ten seconds of weather, mostly north
of ten if I read correctly,there's a pretty good chance of rain tonight

(02:40):
and again into Friday. Sometimes it'spretty heavy rain. Possibly that not needed
at all. Nobody we don't needany more heavy rain, but some spots
are gonna get it. Then severaldays. The reward for making it through
tonight and tomorrow. The reward isfour or five, possibly even more days

(03:04):
of nice early summer weather. Higheraround ninety, low in the mid seventies,
maybe even the seventy three, that'dbe nice. Stock market jumped pretty
good this morning too, by theway, behind some optimistic reports, but
still barely quarter point increments either wayin any of the four major indeceased oils

(03:24):
in the green too, unfortunately,up to seventy nine bucks around ten thirty.
I didn't want to look again justin case it got higher and gold
thanks as always to Houston Gooldexchange dotcom fell off yesterday's high, but still
was sitting at twenty three eighty fouran ounce around. I think it was
around ten thirty somewhere in there,at ten thirty eleven o'clock maybe, so

(03:47):
back to the lies I was mentioninga minute ago. Just this week,
White House mouthpiece Corene Jean Pierre actuallytried to explain the President's claim twice lately,
by the way, that inflation wasat nine percent when he took office.
Somebody should have told him after thefirst time he said it that that

(04:09):
was wrong, but he said itagain, and Corine Jean Pierre has been
trying to splain that actually inflation wasat one point four percent on that gloomy
day in America, and she's spun. It's fun and spun and finally threw
off a story about how President Bideninherited the conditions that raised inflation to eight

(04:33):
or nine percent, and that isit's just an absolute lie. There's no
question there. He inherited one pointfour percent inflation, he inherited energy independence,
and he threw both of them inthe trash in his first forty eight
hours. Forty eight hours if that, meetings she's had with his handlers have

(04:55):
got to be spend doctors and everybodyelse who's involved up there. It must
just be incredibly funny from the outsidelooking in. I envisioned a big dry
erase board in the corner of aroom, and everybody sitting around a conference
table, and on that board aretoday's lies numbered and prioritized. The ones
they've got to fix, and thenin subcategories beneath each of those the potential

(05:21):
exclude excuses. There's my one mistakefor the day. Will, right there,
I said, exclusives instead of excuses, and that's it. You don't
have to worry about anymore. Anddeflections, all of those things that they
need to just spin it around toa positive somehow make a little chicken salad.

(05:41):
And the more speeches President Biden gives, the bigger that board's gonna get.
They're gonna need a bigger room.They're gonna need a bigger board.
They're gonna need more people. Thefarther we get into this election cycle,
amazing. Up in New York,NYPD pretty much blasted Alexandria Ocassio Cortes for

(06:02):
saying that police shouldn't have interfered withprotests at Columbia University. New York Police
Department Chief John Shell said, thisgood eight. Excuse me, there's another
one, Will good. Sat scoresand self entitlement do not supersede the law.

(06:24):
End quote. Continuing, he said, and I quote again, lack
of accountability equals consequences. Everyone hasa constitutional right to protest, but kids
also have a right to go toschool without being harassed, threatened, intimidated,
or assaulted. End quote. Wellsaid chief, And about time,
by the way, somebody had tostand up to him. I don't know

(06:48):
if I want to go to Californiayet. It's just so easy when governor
knew some does something, It's justso easy. I'll skip over that one
and come back to it from Oh, from US Capitol Police Headquarters, a
small baggie of guess what will whatdo you think? They found a small
bag in a heavily traveled hallway atUS Capitol Police Headquarters. And no,

(07:15):
I'll just say it wasn't him.I'm I'm convinced it was not him who
left that baggie of a white potterysubstance the floor of the US Capitol.
And no, no, no,we're talking party powder here and somewhere,

(07:35):
some somewhere in DC right now.Somebody's either really glad he or she was
able to ditch that before they paddedhim or her down, or really ticked
because that night's fun fell out ofa pocket somewhere. All right, we
gotta take a little break here onthe way out. I'll tell you about
Texas homebuyers. This is a groupthat if you're home flooded or even close

(08:00):
to flooding, and you're like,we got to get out of here.
But I don't want to have to. I don't want to have to stage
the house. I don't want tohave to change the carpet to wood floors.
I don't want to have to paintanything. I don't want to do
anything but just get this house offmy hands. That's what Texas HomeBuyer has
been doing for more than thirty yearsaround here, locally owned great A plus

(08:22):
rating with a better business bureau.And what they'll do is come to your
property, whatever kind of property itis, you're tired of it, they'll
come out there, they'll take alook around, go back to the office,
do a little calculating, a littlelittle checking up on things and whatever,
and then they will make you alegitimate, top dollar cash offer on

(08:43):
that property that can usually close withintwo weeks. You're out of there,
you're done, You get a checkand they get the property and they'll take
care of it from there. Thisis an exceptional deal, especially if you
did actually get flooded, an exceptionaldeal from people who have been doing this,

(09:03):
Like I said, for the betterpart of thirty years. By the
way, got a show coming upSaturdays at three pm right here on KPRC,
Texas home Buyers Radio. Man whoowns the company is gonna host this
and it's gonna be fantastic. Startsthis weekend. As a matter of fact,
three pm on KPRC Saturdays, Texashome Buyers Radio. What's life without

(09:24):
a net? I suggest you goto bed, sleep it off, just
wait until the show's over. Sleepy. Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus
continues. Hey like that, willtapping clapping, tapping my foot, That

(09:52):
will gets you. It'd keep youawake anyway. I think for a little
while driving around, where do Iwant to go in Maryland? Let's go
to Maryland, shall we? TheBlue crab state, Boy, Chesapeake Bay
got some serious seafood up there,crab cakes. And then if you just
drive a little farther you can getinto real lobster country. I made a

(10:13):
trip to Maine years ago. WillActually I've been to Main couple of times,
but one of those trips up there, I drove past the McDonald's in
my little rent car whatever it was, and looked on the sign and the
big marquee out there. You knowwhat they sell up there, lobster rules,
No lobster like mech lobster sandwiches.Ooh for real, think about that,

(10:37):
with a little big mac sauce onit. Maybe just tartar sauce.
Just real. Down here, youcan get one of those semi dreadful fish
sandwiches with mystery fish and a dollupof tartar sauce all over it. I
don't even think they put lettuce onit anymore. They put a slice of
cheese on there, which is tomask the taste of the fish. I

(11:01):
think I had a little lobster yesterday. Did you a small portion of lobster
or just a small lobster? Didyou eat a shrimp? Who paid for
that tab? My mother? Lucky? Lucky? So you tell me you're
taking your mom to lunch? Truth? Well, of course. I heard

(11:26):
a comedian recently talking about how hewas he was finally coming up in the
world and now that he asked hismother to go to lunch with him,
and he said, I was finallyable to pay my half. Someday will
someday that's all right, I understandeverybody starts somewhere, buddy, and I

(11:48):
have been where you are. Believeme, I don't know where you are
now, but I've been there.It's a long ways up to the top,
and I'm still a few wrong shortmyself, but I'm doing all right.
See it's Jake Tapper, a veryprominent anti Trump media personality, will
call him that we'll moderate the firstdebate between President Trump and President Biden.

(12:11):
This is the same guy who whofour years ago was just gung ho Russian
collusion, steered completely clear of sayinga word about Hunter's laptop. He fawned
over the Steel dossier, all ofwhich now has been just totally debunked.

(12:31):
They were all real for him,damning evidence against our former president, only
they weren't really, and we knowthat now. Over and over he's expressed
his distaste for President Trump, andhe's going to control the pace in parlance
of that first debate. And hebetter hold on tight too, because I
doubt that President Trump's going to holdanything back. He better, he better,

(12:54):
he better. For sure, it'llbe interesting. Jimmy Fallon took a
shot last night at the debates.It was a very good one too.
I thought it had nothing to do. It was a political entirely nothing to
do with the two people who willbe debating. He said, Biden and
Trump, and I'll quote Biden andTrump will meet on June twenty seventh on

(13:16):
CNN, and one of Biden's debateconditions was not having an audience, So
that explains why it's on CNN.I thought that was pretty good. I
like that. You know. I'vedetermined that I think President Biden needs a
campaign slogan, and I came upwith one for him, and that is,

(13:37):
if you can't beat him, jalem. And that's kind of where we
are. And unfortunately that's what's goingon in this country right now. They've
miired the most outstanding Republican candidate inlegal battles that prevent him from campaigning as

(14:00):
he should, as he would ifthere weren't all these ongoing legal issues for
him. In New York, PresidentTrump's attorneys pretty hard yesterday and today on
Michael Cohen, the convicted person forLyne under oath, who earlier testified for

(14:24):
the prosecution. By the way prosecutions, both their star witnesses aren't exactly the
most credible to people ever to takea stand and be questioned. And I'll
leave that at that outside the courtroom. By the way, Trump supporters pretty
much literally from around the world arecautioning Americans not to allow it's our government

(14:46):
to become more weaponized against their opponents. In the history of the world,
that has never ended. Well,but that's exactly what they're trying to do
here. They're trying to they haveweaponized, and it runs deep, and

(15:07):
there's just one effort after another tobog down President Trump so deeply in defending
his own personal freedom that he can'thelp us back to having personal freedoms and
being relieved of the tax burden thatthe current administration will absolutely positively heap upon

(15:28):
us if they get another shot.If they get another shot, it's going
to be difficult. So watch forPresident Biden's billboards sitting near you. If
you can't beat him. Jalum,that's what he's going to say at some
point, if he's honest, that'swhere he's going. Well, never mind
simplifies that thought, all right.Oh here. Nancy Pelosi made the news

(15:54):
this week with some pretty inflammatory andtelling statements about people who aren't, shall
we say, in her class,people who are part of the commoners.
We people who are perhaps part ofthe populist movement. She said about us,
about them, that we they arequote poor souls who are looking for

(16:17):
some answers. We've given them tothem, but they're blocked by some of
their own views on guns. Theyhave the three g's, guns, gays,
and god end quote. What apompous, condescending, baggle wind buffoon
she is, really? And howdare she say that? I think that

(16:40):
really a kind of telling us littlepeople that if we just listen to her,
and to listen to her friends andher constituents and do as they say,
we'd be just fine. But we'retoo dumb to realize that that's insulting.
And I don't know, I'd guessabout one hundred ways, maybe more.
I'm not really sure, all right, with the national debt at about

(17:03):
thirty four trillion, up from whattwenty seven trillion when Biden took office.
As a matter of fact, theinterest on that debt is about to become
more than we can cover literally asa nation. Oh really, well,
now, yeah, it's time toget out. I keep I look over
at you one hundred times. Idon't get two minutes. I don't get
one mente. Man, this isa nice long segment. Nope, I

(17:25):
can just coast and cruise. It'stime to go. Now. I'm making
you sweat even more because I'm stillyapping and we're not going to break yet
home. Well, you know,it's completely up to you. It's your
show, you know. No,it's not UT Health Institute on Aging.
That's that's a show I enjoy.That's where you can go and you pull
the curtain. The curtain opens onUT Health Institute on Aging. And what

(17:47):
do you see? You see hundredsof providers who are specially trained in senior
medicine. That was a pretty goodone right there. That was really good.
Well, you like that one,be sure to headline it somehow.
In any event, all of thesepeople, these surgeons, these general practitioners,
these nurses and therapists and trainers,and all of these people who are

(18:08):
in the medical field, in additionto whatever they needed as training to get
that graduation, that diploma on thewall in their office, they have gone
back and gotten additional training as tohow in their particular discipline, senior medicine
is different than regular old medicine.They're great doctors in and of their own

(18:29):
right. All doctors are However,these people are trained in senior medicine,
and that's kind of a big dealtoo. I don't know, seniors.
Go to the website, take alook around. There are tremendous resources at
the website. There are ways tocontact the physicians who are part of this
huge network that works all over town. Really ut dot edu slash aging ut

(18:53):
dot edu slash aging. You know, they sure don't make them like they
used to. That's why every fewmonths we wash him, check his florids,
and spring on a fresh coat ofwax. This is fifty plus with
Doug Pike. All right, welcomeback to fifty plus. Thanks for listening,

(19:23):
sarting to do appreciate it. Willand I both got the wordle puzzle
today in five tries and in hindsight, like we've talked about a million times,
he and I. It's all inthe first word. If you give
yourself some direction, some legitimate direction, in that first word, then it
usually can pop in there in aboutthree maybe four guests tops. If you

(19:48):
don't, you're just gonna you're justgonna get bogged down in the garbage,
just totally bogged down. I wantto go back to that national debt for
a minute, twenty seven trillion dollars. When President Biden took office, we
were able to pay, We wereable to service that debt without too much
strain, without really any higher taxes. And now though that debt is thirty

(20:12):
four trillion dollars, in four years, he's added, Biden has added seven
trillion dollars and about to spend anothertrillion of money we don't have, and
that interest is about to become morethan we can cover. And all this

(20:33):
administration would do is just raise taxesand keep spending and end up ultimately cutting
some vital programs. And if theyever if they put a finger on on
Social Security debt, I don't knowwhat would happen if they tried to do
that. But they'll they'll look atanything to keep to make sure that they

(20:56):
make their money, first and foremost, that they can maintain their health insurance,
their health coverage, which goes onforever, extends to their family members.
They don't pay a dime for it. They don't care what happens with
Obamacare, they don't matter. Theydon't care what happens to Medicaid or Medicare,
so long as they get covered,most of them talk a pretty pretty

(21:21):
bold game about how they're of thepeople and for the people. But I'm
guessing kind of no, I'm guessingthat's not the case, at least on
the left side of the interest inour debt. On our debt is already
higher than the spending we do ondefense, and higher than the spending we

(21:41):
do on medicare just interest on thedebt is more than we invest in the
health of our seniors. Social Securityis the only place where we spend more
than the interest on our debt.And you watch that become an issue when

(22:02):
in what in barely thirty years,that interest total, according to some calculations
I saw, is going to surpasseverything else on our tab. Everything and
every other household expense of the UnitedStates of America is going to come in
behind interest on the debt. Ifthis country were a family, we'd have

(22:26):
to declare bankruptcy. And if thatends up happening to this country of ours,
that's going to be rough. It'sgoing to be rough. Jd Vance,
a senator from Ohio, said recentlythat the Biden administrations had felt so
horribly that the only option that teamhas is to just keep our former president

(22:47):
bogged down in legal battles, justwhat I was talking about a little while
ago. He can't campaign, hecan't debate, he can't do anything that
would allow Americans to hear both ofthem speak and decide for themselves. But
then here come these I'm really curiousto see. Vance said that that President
Biden basically set the world on fire, and I wouldn't disagree, really,
but it'll be curious to see howthese these debates go. It really will.

(23:11):
And I really hope that somehow somewaythat first one with what's his name,
Topper, that guy from CNN.I hope he can control himself and
and not interject and just say Okay, it's your turn to talk your MIC's
on, and then just turn andsay it's your turn to talk your MIC's

(23:33):
on. And how he handles thisfirst one, I think we'll dictate a
lot. I'm really well, no, I was gonna say, I can't
can't understand why one interview wouldn't beheld kind of to a left with a
left leaning network, and then theother might go to a right leaning network.

(23:57):
But Biden's camp would never have letthat happen. So we can just
we just have to roll with it. I'm pretty sure our former president can
hold his own. We found outit really can happen. If you ever
wondered whether an election could be riggedand whether bad votes could be cast,
yep, in court now there willbe I'm sure there will be appeals and

(24:19):
we'll see how that goes. Butin court, I think it was yesterday
judge ordered a new election right herein Harris County, a judicial race that
was found to have been decided infavor of the Democrat candidate by just four
hundred and forty nine votes. Fourhundred and forty nine votes, and the

(24:40):
investigation turned up one thousand, fourhundred and thirty illegal votes cast in that
race. Now there's still no actualcount of how many of those eleven hundred
or fourteen, whereas fourteen hundred andthirty illegal votes went to each candidate eight.

(25:00):
But if I was a beton man, I was a betting man.
I'll bet those fourteen thirties waited tothe left's wait it to the left.
Well, let's have a little fun, shall we. How much time do
I have for fun? You havetwo minutes? Oh this is good,
okay? Which one really? Canada? I thought I deleted those and AI

(25:27):
aio you like that. That's prettyclever and I thought I believe it those.
Ah, that's a good one.A few people are claiming that Apple's
new iPhone update has resurrected their olddeleted nudes. Have you checked your phone?

(25:47):
Will? I don't have Apples alot of neither. I'm an Android
guy, so our our presume ournude photos are secured. They're very secure.
I'm sure the world will bethe alittle easier too for that. People
say the photos that they deleted yearsago are suddenly back, but Apple is
unclear whether this is a widespread issue. It will will kind of issue.

(26:11):
I'm sorry, a widespread and shoeI hope what it says? Hope?
No, I don't know. Well, get this. I didn't even put
a headline on this one. Ijust gotta tell you this is pretty interesting.
A couple of weeks ago, ina public bathroom at a theater in
Ohio, has nothing to do withphotographs, somebody found twenty five grand.

(26:34):
More than twenty five grand, okay, And then a week later, same
town, little town in Ohio,twelve grand discovered in the bathroom at a
KFC. Same person same town.No, not the same person. Nobody
knows what's going on. But youknow what I'm thinking, hmm, chicken
in a movie, thinking chicken ina movie. Just to be sure,

(26:56):
you know what, you know whatI think that is, honestly, but
I think that's drug deals going bad. You think it's they're gone bad or
they're just really bad at hiding.Well, yeah, well somebody left the
package and then somebody came in andfound it before the real, the real
bad guy was supposed to find it. I guess I don't know who would
just be throwing around thirty seven thousanddollars you, yeah, of course every

(27:18):
day? Yeah, yeah, whyI can't pay for lunch a slow day.
You throw some of my way,will you. That'd be great.
I'd be okay with that. Okay, we're about done. Yeah, we
got to go real quick. Sevencountries in Europe that are smaller than Rhode
Island. Okay, you're you're notall that. You're sorry about that,
primo doors. I'm going to seeJason this afternoon. As a matter of
fact, I'm gonna take a pictureof our door and I'm gonna take it

(27:41):
home to my wife, and weare going to get it installed, as
I mentioned yesterday, after we getthe new roof on Monday, because we
don't want anything. I don't evenwant so much as a fleck of dust
to hit that door. Right afterit's installed. I just want to just
admire. I'm gonna stand out onthe on the sidewalk and just look at
the front of my house for hoursat a time. Probably. I like

(29:59):
which to buy your front door Primodorsdot Com aged to perfection. This is
fifty plus with Doug Pike BI Welcomeback forth, and final segment of the
program starts right now. And Willand I were talking off the air about

(30:22):
Yale University, making the news quiteinteresting. Yale doled out a's to write
about seventy nine percent of its undergradstudents, a trend that started just a
few years ago. Actually Will saysit started a lot longer than that ago,
from what he understands, and wheneverit started, it pretty much stuck.

(30:44):
There's a philosophy philosophy. That's whatmy third mistake this time philosophy professor
there who said that there handing outa's like they were peanuts on a Southwest
flight, and that that's quite dishonestactually as students themselves. And around twenty
ten, for comparison, that samepercentage of students earning a's was only about

(31:07):
sixty percent. Same professors, moreor less, same classes, same workloads,
same wide eyed young people doing everythingthat college kids do. I guess,
except for violent protests. That's kindof new, and yet now,
by some miracle, almost eighty percentof them or turning in excellent work,
which what an A means. Now, Well, what did you understand about

(31:30):
the IVS and how they were inflatinggrades to make their grads look better?
Yeah, I mean great. Inflationhas been a part of that group of
schools for a very long time,and it's been pretty documented. Well,
this particular episode and incident is theysay tied to DEI. A lot of

(31:52):
it's tied to DEI, and Ithink it's been gone. It's it's been
happening for a while. I don'tthink that. I don't think that it's
tight. If they ever were toif there ever were a legitimate standard grading
procedure, a legitimate way of tellingan A from a B and a B

(32:12):
from a C. What if someof these IVY school kids started getting d's
and maybe even f's and they andtheir money couldn't remain at the school then,
and what happens to employers? Thisis what bothers me the most about
some of this is that employers arelooking at someone who's graduating from those skills

(32:34):
as or schools as more skilled moreeducated, better suited to their companies,
when in fact they may not be. What happens when they hire an a
average Yale student who actually got aC minus education and has no idea what
he's doing he or she is doingin the field in which he or she

(32:57):
majored. That's a mess, andthat's just something else that's going to drag
us backwards. You can't just behanding people something like that fifty plus likely
and soon to become the midway pointI think in life expectancy. And according
to a story I heard this morning, probably about the average standardized test score
of more than a few students atuniversities that had subscribed to DEI entrance qualifications.

(33:24):
Rather than encouraging all students to becomemore educated, what they're doing really
is enabled enabling students to just coastthrough four years a very expensive indoctrination only
