Remember when it was impossible to misplacethe TV remote because you were the TV
remote. Remember when music sounded likethis, Remember when social media was truly
social. Our American story show isall about you. This is fifty plus

(00:25):
with Doug Pike. Helpful information onyour finances, good health, and what
to do for fun. Fifty plusbrought to you by the UT Health Houston
Institute on Aging Informed Decisions for ahealthier, happier life, and by Texas
Indoor Air Quality Specialists because clean airis healthier air. And now fifty plus

(00:48):
with Doug Pike. All right,here we go. Welcome to this weekending
edition of fifty plus on what Iconsider a pretty dark day for our country.
Honestly, former President Trump convicted yesterdayand one of the least fair trials
ever held in this entire nation.Saw something on Facebook this morning that really
hit home and said, if youhate one man more than you love our

(01:11):
country, than you are a partof the problem. And I would have
to agree with that. And currentlyin this country, as we learned yesterday,
the number of people so threatened bythis one man and by the prosperity
he built for our nation as president, is staggering. And it makes matters
a little more dire. Chuck Schumercame out as I talked about a couple

(01:34):
of days ago and said, inin public, out loud, what we
all knew was the endgame of theborder crisis. He straight up said that
Democrat's goal is to allow the Ithink he said, I think he phrased
it eleven million or so eleven millionor something, whatever it was. He

(01:56):
was pegging it at about eleven millionpeople, and by say some estimates,
is closer to fourteen million people.The Democrats want all of those people to
get free stuff and vote in exchangefor the free stuff. They're gonna vote
for the people who give them thefree stuff. And why wouldn't they.
They don't know much better, Honestly, they don't know how our system works.

(02:19):
They don't know that eventually that freestuff's gonna go away because there's gonna
be nobody left to pay for it. Something else caught my eye this morning
as well, said, there's nosuch thing as government funded anything. It's
all taxpayer funded. And if youif you kind of tap yourself on the

(02:39):
back of the head and think aboutthat, it's absolutely one hundred percent true.
The government can't fund anything unless ittakes money away from us or borrows
money even worse from somebody else inthe world. When after Donald Trump,

(03:00):
from the time he left office almostfour years ago now, they raided his
home, they poured over his personalbusiness, and in multiple jurisdictions almost all
Democrat, in fact, all Democrat, they indicted him time and again now
for the sole purpose of hindering hisreelection campaign. They have a plan,
and they've executed at least this muchof their plan so far. But they

(03:22):
grossly underestimated the ability of Americans tosee through this giant pile of manure they're
stacking up. The left is divisive, they're afraid, and they pushed all
in, all in on this planto stifle their political opponents. And I
guess scare others into submission by goingafter a former president of the United States.

(03:50):
Unbelievable. I think we the peoplehave just about had enough, and
our eyes are opening up now tothe horrible mistakes this presidents may and this
Senate has made. And most ofthese mistakes, by the way, are
being revealed one by one. Ispretty careful, pretty calculated moves toward creation

(04:14):
of a one party country. Adictatorship ultimately that it almost certainly is going
to be run by somebody other thanJoe Biden if he somehow wins in November.
He won't even talk about whether heintends to make it through four more
years as president if he is elected, although I don't know how that's going
to happen. I really don't bewatchful too as all this moves forward,

(04:34):
watchful of random persecutions and prosecutions poppingup of pretty much everyday, people who
disagree with what's happening to our country. Watch who's being investigated by DOJ,
by the FBI. It was agroup I saw yesterday that had been been
investigated as a threat to this country, when if you look at their mission,

(05:00):
look at what they've done, andwhat they did that got them into
that spotlight, were anything but athreat. Donald Trump has the resources necessary
to defend himself. You and Ido not. And with this trial,
the Left pushed all its chips intothe pile because they know that if they
lose this time, there's gonna behell to pay for what they've done.

(05:24):
It's gonna be it's gonna be aninteresting ride. It's gonna be an interesting
ride. So enough about that.This audience, I'm sure is is smart
enough to see through it. I'msure will. We'll do their best to
right the ship come November. Andthat's what That's what, frankly has to
be done. I don't want anysort of I don't want any sort of

(05:48):
issue to come up between now andthen on which the left can hang its
hat and point it at conservatives.That's enough. The worlds still turning.
There's other issues that, at leastin the short term, more greatly will
impact you in me than the circuswe just witnessed in New York. Weather
around here continues to be a dreadfulsource of frustration, and this morning's thunderstorms

(06:14):
just stacked that frustration even higher.Today was the last day of finals for
my son. I got him upearly, I got him out of the
house early. He drove off.I drove off toward the office here and
about halfway because we knew we hadto get on the road early to get
him. Well, he did.Anyway, he's got his own wheels now,

(06:36):
so he's feeling all that in thebag of chips. He took off
and about halfway there he and Iboth got the email or wasn't an email.
Actually it was a phone call fromthe school to let everybody know at
seven point thirty in the morning,usually against about an eight o'clock or actually

(06:57):
an eight point fifteen start, thatthey were going to post poem the start
of the exams because of the storms. If they had let us know that
at about I don't know, sixthirty six forty five, we could have
slowed down a little bit, letsome of that really bad weather pass.
I feel most badly for the peoplewho attend that school, the students who
attend that school and drive in fromlong distances. There are students at his

(07:21):
school, which is in southwest Houston, who come in from Pearland, who
come in from Kingwood and drove throughjust horrific weather only to get it what
maybe two thirds of the way toschool, white knuckling it every mile to
find out they had an extra hour. That was kind of that was messed

(07:43):
up anyway. Your ten second forecastfrom Texas IAQ specialists. Because cleaner air
is healthier air, still more raindamage. You can win through most of
some of today, possibly later,and then much of tomorrow, then scat
stuff Sunday. We're gonna break Mondayand maybe even Tuesday, and warm lows

(08:07):
in the low or highs in thelow nineties. But nothing, nothing outrageous.
Shall we break? Speaking of TexasIndoor Air Quality Specialists, where cleaner
air is healthier air. They've beenin business for twenty something years now.
They are licensed and certified to doanything and everything to your AC systems to

(08:28):
make them work better. But theirexclusive focus is on duct cleaning. They
come to your home using a patentedtruck mounted system. When they start by
cleaning the coils on however many unitsyou have. Coils are cleaned, they
move to the plenum. The plenum'scleaned up, They move methodically from one

(08:50):
vent to the next throughout your entirehome and make sure that every one of
those vents is pulling nothing but clean, healthy air that's coming from that unit
and through that plenum. The systemthey uses something called a pneumatic whip that
goes in there and essentially vibrates thedust and pollen and allergens and contaminants,

(09:13):
whatever's in that stuff, whatever's inthat duckwork gets shaken loose and vacuumed all
the way to that truck parked outon the curb. Off it goes.
There are no hidden fees, nosecrets that they're gonna tell you when they
oh, well, well look atwhat we found. No, it's very
simple. There's a charge per unit, there's a charge per plenium. Well,

(09:33):
the unit and the plenum are kindof one price, and then there's
a charge per vent in the house. You do that simple math, and
you know exactly what it's gonna costyou to breathe clean, healthy air for
many years to come. This issomething that's gonna take several hours. They're
not gonna pop in and pop outin half an hour. They're gonna be

(09:54):
there a while to make sure thatall of your duckwork is squeaky clean,
gonna last you for years. Poundtwo fifty. Get on your phone,
doll pound two fifty, and whenyou're asked for the prompt, say healthy
air. That will connect you directlyto their offices where you can speak to
someone and learn more about the systemthey use and how it works, and

(10:16):
gain confidence in it like I have, and then have them come out to
your house to create cleaner, healthierair for you and your family to breathe
pound two fifty healthy air. Now, they sure don't make them like they
used to. That's why every fewmonths we wash them, check his fluids,
and spring on a fresh coat ofwax. This is fifty plus with

(10:41):
Doug Pike. Second segment of theFriday program starts right now. Thank you
all for listening. Be sure tobring some friends next week, will you.
It's just so easy. It's justso easy. And you can hear

(11:03):
this show anytime you want to hearany episode of it by doing just a
little teeny bit of digging, Ithink you could. Will could you ask
your Alexa or Siri to play aspecific episode of fifty plus? You have
to go to the website for that, I bet. I mean, if
you knew what the title of theepisode was, I'm sure you have to

(11:26):
go look up anyway. So justpunched the button exactly my pass so you
could probably say, play the latestepisode of the fifty plus song that might
work. AI knows enough about that. I saw a fantastic story. It's
actually your semi well, you're kindof halfway into technology, right I told
you about this, didn't I?Yeah? Yeah. The University of Wisconsin

(11:50):
a team up there of really smartdudes and men and women whoever they are
people a team of smart people haveto developed a set of AI enabled headphones
that will allow you in a crowdedroom to hear specifically what one person in

(12:13):
that room is saying, even acrossthe room, a noisy, crowded room,
to isolate what that one person issaying just by looking at them.
Now, there are glasses that areincorporated also into the headphones to know where
your peepers are looking. But boy, you talk about a tool for the

(12:37):
paranoid people think that people other peopleare talking about them, They're gonna find
out if they put those on.So next time you walk into a party
in Wisconsin, if there are nerdylooking people with glasses and headphones on,
keep your mind or the glasses apart of it. That have to be.
But otherwise how would AI determine whereyou're looking at at whom you're looking?

(13:01):
Oh, that's how it's a setpiece. Yeah, can you get
prescription because I'll need it. I'msure you could will that. I don't
know. You might have to wearyour glasses over under your So is this
going to be a product that theUniversity of Wisconsin is I don't know what's

(13:22):
going to happen with that I'm notsure. I think well, once they
get rid of the big headphones andturn that to earbuds, then it becomes
a more valuable, uh spy tool. A silent that's what it's going to
become. Nobody's going to say anythingwhile they're walking to work. Yeah,

(13:43):
I hate my boss. I don'tknow why I'm going back to this old
mud hole I hated. I don'twant to go there. And you get
an email from your boss. Heyman, I was looking out the window
as you were walking up a talkwith cheesehead spy glasses, and yeah,
come on see you in my office. Whatever. The Dow actually was up

(14:05):
about forty points forty eight points greenearly this morning, after dropping nearly a
thousand in the past week or so. That's a big so what. The
other indicators weren't doing much better.Oil down too, but not enough again,
as I mentioned yesterday, not enoughsavings at the pump anytime soon to

(14:26):
even buy a Snickers while you're there. And gold, thanks to Houston Gold
exchange up briefly but more recently thelast time I looked, was down about
ten bucks, but still at twentythree fifty six an ounce. That's still
an awful lot of money to payfor an ounce of gold. So if
you got some old scrap gold layingaround, now'd be the time rush it
on over to Houston Gold Exchange.They'll hook you up. Hurricanes it Hurricane,

(14:50):
I hate. I can't even believethat came out of my mouth.
Hurricane. I'm from here. Youknow who'll probably say that? Who?
My good friend Shiah Sheriff says roof? I say roof? What do you
say, roof? Roof? Yeah, she says roof. And I know
a lot of people who say roof. No, No, we'll stop no.

(15:11):
But I bet she says hurricane too. Just I'm just thinking out loud.
Oh okay, Well, yeah,we get along pretty well. She
and I both work for Skeeter Bron'sRoofing too, and yeah, and he
gets a lot of business from us. And I'm so glad because she's that
good. And I'll tell you moreabout him. Well, I feel like
Skeeter's probably the person to ask that'sa point. Is it Bron's Roofing or

(15:35):
Bronze Roofing. Skeeter he's the onewho started it. Yeah, doesn't matter,
because either way you're gonna get agood one from him. So but
we digress. So hurricane season startsofficially tomorrow, a day on which the
National Hurricane Center anticipates no activity.By the way, and the more the
merrier of those as we move intoJune, July, August, September,

(15:56):
and forever. I pointed out tosomebody here yesterday that there have been named
storms, and how many of thetwelve months will in the twelve months among
all twelve months that we use inour English calendar and globally basically, how
many months for the US of Ahave there been named storms on the map?

(16:22):
Oh mat, I have no idea. Twelve? Oh all twelve November,
December, January, February all havehosted a named storm, which is
kind of creepy really anyway. AndI'm sure you've all heard the dire predictions
for this season, but don't letfortune tellers ruin your days, Okay,

(16:44):
make your preparations, get some extrameds from the pharmacy and from your doctors
just in case, and then keepan eye on development. I like the
National Hurricanes Hurricane Goda did it againthe National Hurricane Center page kind of as
a first look, but I alsomonitor a couple more sites, especially with
storms that come into the Gulf,because they tend to be a little bit

(17:08):
longer, actually longer and shorter terma little bit more accurate once the stakes
get higher. If that's a goodway to put it, I don't know.
I got something to tell you aboutthat's going on right here in Houston,
by the way, and I willget to that when we get back
on the way out. Ut HealthInstitute on Aging is a collaborative of hundreds

(17:30):
of providers who are specially trained insenior medicine. Regardless of where, with
what credentials they graduated med school ornursing school, or physical training school or
therapy school, they went back andgot additional training so that they could help

(17:52):
us seniors a little bit better thanyour average provider. They know more about
us than the average does. It'sjust as simple as that, and they
are all over town. Go tothe website, take a look around.
You'll see all the services first ofall that are available through that site.
It's a clearinghouse of information for seniors, it really is. There's so much

(18:14):
valuable information there. I encourage youto go to that site, and then
you can also find providers who canhelp you pretty close to where you live.
I'm sure ut h dot edu slashaging ut h dot edu slash aging.
What's life without a net? Isuggest to go to bed, sleep
it off, just wait until theshow's over, sleepy. Back to Dougpike

(18:37):
as fifty plus continues. Is thatdifferent? Is that new? Is that
something you just composed yesterday? Iwish No, it's not really taking money

(19:00):
on that not new, but maybeit's new to this show. Uh,
we'll move on. Shall wait,wait a minute, you know we could.
You want to lighten it up?Will? Or you want me to
just plot? I always want tolighten it up. Okay, let's do
that. It's so dark outside.No it's not. It's just so dark.
No oh no, no, nothinglike it was this morning before sunrise?

(19:25):
What do you want? Will?Women are smart? Cover up or
cool or uncool? Cool or uncool? Okay? Is this a hack or
is it just unethical? There's avideo going around to somebody who needs a
half a carrot for some recipe.They're making it home. Okay, So
they go to the store and theysnap a carrot in half and then just

(19:48):
pay for that one half of acarrot instead of buying a whole carrot probably
saved in what a nickel? Maybea dime. I don't know what carrots
cost per pound. It can bemuch. Is that cooler, uncle?
It's bizarre? But would you doit for one carroll carrot? No?

(20:10):
I just buy the cat. Justbuy a carrot, honest to goodness,
and eat the other half. Iguess you know a couple of other things
here that they're trying to decide arecooler, Uncle? What about knocking on
a table to watch the dog freakout because they think there's somebody at the
door. Cooler Uncle, I wouldn'tdo it, you know I wouldn't either.
I don't about this one messing withthe neighbor when you realize that your

(20:37):
remote control also controls their TV.As an apartment liver, would you do
that? I wouldn't. Even It'sweird because it's like all the apartments I
live in I've lived in. Ican't see anybody else's so how would I
know? You hear it? Youwould turn the volume up? Well,
I've had good walls. Try it. I get home, I duplex.

(21:03):
Oh oh, they'd know who itwas, wouldn't they? You know?
And nobody lives underneath me. Right. Here's the one that I think is
really really irritating. And I've seenthis so many times. People come rolling
up into the grocery store parking ahandicapped spot, slap the little tag on,
and then hop out and just allbut jog into the store. Clearly,

(21:26):
at least I'm gonna bet these peopleare not. They don't deserve to
park in that spot under the circumstances. Now. They may have a relative
who needs that tag and who usesthat tag, but they don't, but
they still take advantage of the frontrow parking. I dislike that dreadfully,

(21:52):
so I'll give you one more.I want to go back to these other
two and let you pick one ofthem, because they're both pretty good.
When are some art or cover up? Cover up? Here's a Here's a
question that was asked on a onReddit. A poll of Reddit users,
should women be allowed to go toplessat water parks? What percentage will do

(22:18):
you think? Said yes? I'mgonna go with forty five percent. Seventy
five percent said yes. You wantto know why I haven't figured out already
why? Because most women just ignoreda tactless survey like that you know,
they wouldn't even bother to answer somethinglike no, no, we're not going

(22:40):
to be involved in this. Justlet the guys answer, and sure enough,
seventy five percent said, oh yeah, yeah, let it go wrong?
All right? Speaking of wrong,Uh, well, innocent until proven
guilty as always. But here inHouston, the former city water department manager
has been charged with abuse of officialcapacity and tampering with documents. And actually

(23:04):
several other people are connected to thiscase and face a variety of charges as
well. It was KPRC Channel tworeporter Amy Davis whose investigation led to where
they are now in that one,and again, everybody involved is innocent until

(23:25):
proven guilty. But well, yeah, they're just innocent until proven guilty,
and the courts will have to decideall that. And I hope they get
a fair trial, because that's whatyou're supposed to get in the United States
of America. That's what you're supposedto get. Up in Philadelphia, recently,
President Biden made a campaign speech thatwas attended by exactly enough people to

(23:45):
fill almost half of a high schoolgymnasium. A former Democratic rep from that
state, Pennsylvania, said he wassurprised at the low turnout, really surprised
delusional can democrats be? How canthey not understand why Americans so dislike this

(24:07):
man's policies? And the only answerreally is because they're insulated from the effects
of those policies for the most part. People who serve in Congress going there
and they make all these laws thatimpact you and me, and then they
don't have to follow them. Theytinker with our medical care because they don't

(24:30):
have to bother with any of that. They have their own special way of
being taken care of, which islavishly for the rest of their lives.
In Alaska, how about this,we hardly ever have news from Alaska.
Contractor working in Denali National Park wastold by the national park superintendent there,
Brooke Merrill, to remove the Americanflag from his truck. An American national

(24:57):
park being run by now a womanwho has a problem with the flag of
the country in which she lives,the country that pays her salary. And
interestingly enough, as soon as this, as soon as this story broke,
the National Park Service jumped in andissued a statement saying it had absolutely nothing

(25:18):
to do with that woman's instructions tothose workers, and that it had no
problem whatsoever with the American flag flyingin an American national park. She deserves
whatever punishment is handed out, andI hope there's a significant punishment. I'm

(25:42):
not asking for her to be fired. People have that's I'm not that kind
of person. I don't want herto be fired, but I would certainly
somebody should have a sit down visitwith her about where she decided it wasn't
cool to fly the American flag.Sources in Washington. How much time do

(26:02):
I have? Will none? None? You've done it again. You just
let me go all the way upto the cliff and then watch me take
one more step forward and then laughas I fall. That's so terrible.
Kirk Comb's not terrible at all.They're the twenty twenty four Southern Living Builder
of the Year, an award givento one and only one builder annually,

(26:27):
and it just happens to be kirkCombs this year. And they're pretty dog
gone proud of that, and soam I because I get to speak for
them. I've known this family.They're a third generation custom builder. I've
known the family now for the betterpart of ten years, maybe eleven even,
and every time I talk to them, every time I visit with them,

(26:48):
I learn more about what they do. I learn more about why you
should choose them when it's time tobuild your dream home. They offer a
twenty year structural warranty, which istwice a standard. They use two by
six exterior walls, all the betterto keep the wolf away when the straw
house and the stickhouse and all thatfall apart. The insulation is critical in

(27:14):
this climate. We all know it, and to have fifty percent more insulation
around the perimeter of your house isextremely valuable. Other than that, every
every selection in your home is upto you. You can work with their
design team, work with their architecturalteam to make sure that that house looks
and from the curb all the wayto down to the light switches inside.

(27:38):
Everything in there is your choice andthey'll build it for you. Anywhere from
northwest Houston all the way out throughthe hill country. Kirkholmes dot com is
the website. Start there. Youwill be very pleasantly surprised at what you
find. Kirkholmebs dot com. That'sk you are k because at Kirkholmes it's
all about you, aged to perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

(28:11):
All right, welcome back for thefinal segment of fifty plus for the
week. Actually, on this thisday in history, actually yesterday, will
be remembered by both sides of theaisle. On one side, there's some
Yeah, there's a sense of accomplishmentand triumph, but it's I think that's

(28:34):
gonna be short lived, to beperfectly honest with you, We'll see how
it goes. Where do I wantto go? Sources in Washington say that
President Biden will sign an executive orderanother one of those, next week to
stem the tide of immigrants flooding intoour country. Got a little I'd say
that's a little late, like aboutthree and a half years too late.

(28:56):
What he's gonna do is it's gonnashut off immigration daily after a certain quota
is met. And the last timeI saw a number put on this,
I didn't see it in the littlestory I saw this morning. But they're
gonna close the gates after five thousandpeople come in daily, Okay, And
that's the ones we know about,And if you haven't done the math yet,

(29:21):
that is more than one point eightmillion people he still wants to let
into this country every year under whathe perceives as a closed border. It's
it's just ludicrous, honestly, andthat, my friends, is going to

(29:41):
even further reduce the number of entrylevel and labor related jobs for Americans.
Even crazier is that we've already letin on a on a pinky square that
they'll show up for court in twoyears. We've let in fifty thousand of
what they call special interest migrants.That's the term they apply to people who

(30:03):
we know have criminal records or areon watch lists as potential terrorists. Special
interests, that's what they call them. They could also be called the bad
Guys List, and that doesn't include, However, many of the two million
or so god Aways would be onthose lists but snuck into the country illegally,
which I bet is a pretty darnbig percentage of the god Aways,

(30:27):
because if they had nothing to hide, now, wouldn't they have just come
through the checkpoints to make sure theygot their free phone and their debit card
and their plane ticket to wherever theywanted to go in the country. I
think that's the way I'd have goneif I didn't have anything to hide.
But there's about two million of themhid on their way in at Wayne's.

(30:51):
Now, I'm not gonna worry aboutWayne State. That's just a petty,
little kiddy protester thing. Speaking ofthough, these student protesters in this you
ought to be thinking long and hardabout some of the people who are supporting
what they do. This week,the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Kamani

(31:11):
wrote on x that these students areon the right side of history. If
that guy's on your team, youare most definitely on the wrong team.
Never mind what side of history they'reon, they need to think about what
side of the future they want tobe on. And in Iran, in

(31:32):
case these kids hadn't heard over theirown screaming and camping and whatnot, Iran
has launched hundreds of drones and ballisticmissiles into Israel in recent months just to
preoccupy the military there from its struggleagainst Tomas, and Kamani has openly expressed
support for Hamas, the terror groupthat started the whole thing. So yeah,

(31:57):
I don't know if i'd want tobe on the same team as that
man. Just now, let's let'sfinish up with something a little softer,
will shall we? I'll as always, I'll let you pick so you can
pick between the unskilled generation from thedesk of Captain obvious or useless world record?

(32:22):
Got another one of those, Giveme the useless one. Well,
this is such a useless An Indianman broke his own Guinness World record.
They've acknowledged this guy's lack of skill, but something really quirky twice now.
He broke his own world record bytyping the alphabet in how many seconds?

(32:45):
Will in two seconds fly? No? Now, how many seconds do you
think it would take him to doit with his nose? Because that's what
he did to earn the world record. Anybody could do it with their fingers,
but to type the the alphabet withyour nose in eight seconds? O?

(33:05):
My god? Will a woodpecker couldn'tdo it in eight seconds? No?
Twenty five point six six seconds?Oh so uh a letter of a
second basically yeah, with his nose. Ye, I'm envisioning the woodpecker.
I bet if you could train it, I would say, it's typing it.
You have to know exactly where everysingle Yeah, well, I mean

(33:30):
I know I know where everything.But you think you could do it with
your nose? Let's try it outafter this. Yeah, I'll put my
hands behind me and want to know. That would just look so stupid.
I'm not gonna do that one.Well, don't r how much time do
we have? Two minutes? Twominutes. Adults who can't ride a bike

(33:51):
say the top reasons they still haven'tlearned are what will They don't want to
that's death's pretty specific. They fearthe embarrassment of having to try to learn
as an adult, and secondarily theyfear injury. Well, they're scared the

(34:12):
