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? Hey John, how's itgoing today? Well, this show is
all about you. This is fiftyplus with Doug Pike, helpful information on

(00:28):
your finances, good health, andwhat to do for fun. Fifty plus
brought to you by the UT HealthHouston Institute on Aging Informed Decisions for a
healthier, happier life and by TexasIndoor Air Quality Specialists because clean air is
healthier air. And now fifty pluswith Doug Pike. All right, Tuesday

(00:53):
edition of the program. Start trynow fifty plus on what is this the
eighth day? I guess after HurricaneBarrel came barreling through Houston and surrounding communities
from the coast all the way upwell, all the way halfway up the
country. I think they were stillfeeling the effects of the storm, little

(01:18):
by little, dissipating and not muchof an event outside of here. It's
interesting to see the perspective of peoplewho don't live here. One of the
guys in the office said his grandmothercalled to check on us because she'd heard
we were having a little bad weather, and that's all that was covered about

(01:44):
Hurricane Barrel. I believe, Ibelieve the woman was in the Midwest somewhere.
I'm not exactly sure, but whereverit was, there was really no
indication given to those people that wegot our teeth kicked in down here.
Some of this, much of itthe fault of Beryl. But after the

(02:08):
storm, we had just an heroiceffort put forth by thousands of linemen from
all over country, all over thecountry, here there, and everywhere in
this fourth largest city in the country. Once the workmen, though, weren't

(02:29):
allowed in some cases to get startedon repairs and restoration until center point.
From what I have read, wrappedup negotiations on rates and compensation for stays
and things like that. There arejust so much they're going to have to
answer for, and our governor andour pretty much everybody, the Public Utilities

(02:55):
Commission. They want answers, justlike we answers. I found it interesting
that my most current bill, Ijust got a copy of it online not
thirty minutes ago, maybe forty five, and it shows that in this past
month now, I guess maybe thisgoes right through the end of July June.

(03:17):
I'll give them that. Okay,I'll give them that. Maybe I'm
paying for June and none of Julyyet, but when that next bill comes,
it better be less than what thisone is because I went a full
six days. Was it six orseven, I can't even remember now,
but it'll be about one fourth ofmy electricity was never used because the power

(03:44):
was not on it my house.So I'm expecting a bill of about seventy
five percent, and I really hopethat's what I get come the end of
July. Otherwise we're going to havea long conversation. Still unbelievable really that
there are still so many people withoutelectricity here. I'm not going to dwell
on this issue, but I willcontinue to mention it because I promised over

(04:08):
the weekend on my outdoors shows thatI would continue to talk about this until
everyone's power is restored. I'm hopingto gain some normalcy as best I can,
and I'll what I'll do now isI'll go ahead and push into the
forecast, and I'll still do itin Haiku as has become the customer around

(04:29):
here still brought to us by TexasIndoor Quality Specialists because cleaner air is healthier
air, and there's probably some extragoo just now, and a whole lot
of ductwork around this city. I'llpound two fifty, say healthy air.
You'll get connected right to the officeand they can help you out. Pound
two fifty healthy air. And nowhighs and lows in highkup. Will are

(04:50):
you paying attention? I am?Please do here we go enjoy sun today
four or five days with rain ahead, rain brings slight cooling, let's hope.
So amen. I'll give that onea seven. Thank you, thank
you. Yeah, even just theslightest little bit of cooling. God forbid,

(05:14):
if there are people still out ofelectricity two three days from now,
it may almost be bearable in thosehomes. I have heard so many stories
of people sleeping in their cars,people folding down back seats and putting mattresses
in their cars so that they couldtry to sleep in something other than an

(05:38):
eighty five ninety degree house. Thisis just this is I keep referring back
to third world nation stuff. Butin twenty twenty four, in this city,
it should have been center Points shouldhave just told all these people go
fix everything, go fix everything.Will We'll quibble over rates later, get

(06:00):
out there. Here's the list,go fix this one, this one,
this one, and that's another thing. And then I promise I'll get off
of this next time. I don'twant to be in the group that gets
taken care of late in the game. Anybody who had to wait six seven
days for power like I did,ought to be top of the list next
time. And I don't really Idon't care about public relations. I don't

(06:25):
care how many big numbers they're tryingto put on the board. That is
unfair to the people who are onsmaller grids. It's absolutely unfair and unnecessary
if they had just cut all thosecrews loose in the beginning. All right,
off the market we go now,with three of the four big indicators
green and the only red one downless than a tenth of a point.

(06:45):
Earlier, Oil also was down.It was the last time I looked,
it was below eighty one dollars.But trying to kind of creep in that
direction. Hopefully it'll stay down.We'll see gold, on the other hand,
thanks to Houston gooldexchange dot Com upa whopping almost forty bucks a little
while ago at twenty four sixty eightfifty I sent an email or maybe it

(07:11):
was a text to Brad Over atHouston Gold Exchange and asked him if that
was a record. I'm not surewhether it is or not, but it
sure is a lot of money foran ounce of gold. So, first
day back to fifty plus after restorationof power at my house, and so
much happened over the weekend and yesterday. Honestly, not sure where to focus
on. Failures locally and Nashley,both of which were incredible. I'll pause

(07:36):
now and go ahead and take abreak. Breathe, ug, breathe.
It's gonna be okay. If youare in the market for a beautiful custom
home, check out Kirkcombs. Iencourage you to do that. They're a
third generation custom builder, works fromthe northwest side all the way through the
hill country in all directions, andthey are the twenty twenty four or Southern

(08:01):
Living Builder of the Year. That'sa very big deal in their industry and
it is their honor this year.Hats off to Kirk Coombs. They're gonna
have to build a new trophy case, or at least a bigger one.
Maybe a trophy room would be moreappropriate. Now, Kirk Coombs offers an
industry leading twenty year structural warranty.They use two by six exterior walls for

(08:24):
better insulation. You can see whySouthern Living would be interested. And everything
they do, everything they do isdesigned to ultimately hand you the keys to
your dream home. Not something somearchitect thought up on his own or her
own, not something that a designteam decided was what you would like.

(08:46):
No, you make the decisions withas much or as little encouragement and assistance
as you want, and then theygo about building your dream home. To
see your dream home become reality,very simple, go to Kirkcolmbs dot com.
That's kay, you are kay,because at Kirk Combs it's all about
you, aged to perfection. Thisis fifty plus with Doug Pike. All

(09:28):
right, welcome back to fifty plus. Thank you so very much for listening
today. It's been a crazy weekfor us, Saul clearly, and some
hats off to all of you whogot your power back. I heard a
guy talking about this morning. Yeah, we had a power out by an
hour, by an hour. It'sterrible. Oh it's dark everything. Okay,

(09:50):
another guy, I had lost powerfor five hours. There are still
though, and I'm gonna I'm gonnakeep arping on this, not not at
length, but until the last oneis rest restored. I just got to
do that. So anyway, letme see, I want to go to
there. I want to go tothere on the by the way back to
the local end of this. Iam extremely disappointed and disturbed by whoever it

(10:15):
was who was out there actually threateningthe linemen who came here from all over
the country, who in some caseswere put up in hotels that didn't have
power. The list goes on andon of reasons that we should have been
praising them and thanking them. Iknow it was difficult for us, I
know that I lived it. Butto even so much as flip an offensive

(10:41):
finger in the direction of any ofthese workers who came here voluntarily, for
the most part, from as faras California and Florida, that's that's bothersome.
My hope really is that the illmannered, ungrateful people who would do
such things, including throwing things atthese people, including a couple of cases

(11:03):
where guns were exposed were displayed.There was a story I saw on television,
I believe, yesterday evening about howsome of these workers had been told
not to accept any food or waterfrom Houstonians because at least once, maybe

(11:24):
more often I don't know, butsome of that stuff was tainted somehow.
I just I can't believe those peopleare from Houston, I really can't,
or even Texas. Maybe they justmoved here. Maybe they're just ill mannered,
ungrateful people from somewhere else and justlanded here and got thrown into the

(11:45):
mix of this pretty quickly, andjust don't understand how we do things on
the national front. The assassination attempton our president, our former president,
that's got to go down as thegreatest watch of Secret Service security in the
past forty or fifty years. Aguy with a rifle crawled onto a rooftop

(12:07):
at relatively close range for the weaponhe carried, and was able to get
off several shots before he was,as they put it, neutralized. Thank
god our former president wasn't killed.I really do and I would have done
the same actually if an attempt hadbeen made on President Biden's life. The

(12:28):
attempted assassination of anybody who holds publicoffice, regardless of their politics, is
just inexcusable. For our Secret Serviceto come out and lay some of the
blame on local law enforcement up thereconcerns me as well. The protectee's safety
ultimately is entirely in the hands ofthe Secret Service, and they should have

(12:52):
gone over that place with a finetooth comb and figured out how to keep
that guy off that roof. Onthat subject, actually, I was appalled
by the number of social media responsesfrom people who actually wrote and published their
disappointment that the assassination attempt wasn't successful. I was did you see some of

(13:13):
that? Will you see any ofthat? I did not see on social
media? I did. It wasjust really how deeply depraved has this nation
become that anyone could hate any otherAmerican so much as to genuinely wish that

(13:33):
someone would would kill them. Ittruly is time for wholesale change in this
country. I mean, top tobottom. It's just hard to believe that
any American could think that way,but clearly they're out there. And I
do feel like the rhetoric of mainstreammedia and even some left leaning politicians,

(13:56):
no that it shouldn't push someone thatfar, but to but to keep saying
the thing, the same incendiary thingsover and over about people can lead gullible,
can lead impressionable people to do thingsthat are unthinkable, and it's just

(14:16):
fanning a really dangerous flame in thiscountry, some of the things that have
been said about our former president.And I hope this stops it. I
hope this is a wake up callfor the entire country. We come from
a we come from a country thatthrived because we were able to live amongst

(14:37):
people who didn't think exactly how wethought. We wished them no harm.
They were our neighbors, they wereour friends. We just had different political
views and that was okay for thelongest time. For the longest time,
that was okay, And now nowit's not. Now it's not all right.

(14:58):
In other news, in who's notsurrounding Centerpoint or the presidential election?
How am I doing on time?Will you have two and a half minutes?
Okay? This I found for totallydifferent reasons troubling from a report at

(15:18):
the Independent. Okay wealthy couple inArizona has been arrested and charged with conspiracy,
health care fraud and receiving kickbacks ina scheme that allegedly has gone on
for years and allegedly generated fraudulent billingof the Medicare system. For treatments that

(15:39):
I don't know whether they were doneor not done. I don't know whether
all the patients who were billing Medicareeven new they were billing Medicare. But
somehow, allegedly this couple, whosupport their very lavish lifestyle, managed to

(16:00):
squeeze out about nine according to thearrests. According to the charges, they
squeezed out about nine hundred million dollarsin fraudulent charges allegedly. Okay, innocent
until proven guilty, and I'm allfor that. This is still how our
country works. Uh. But ifthat turns out to be even ten percent

(16:25):
true, that's a whole lot ofmoney taxpayers just threw at them, a
whole lot of money. My goodness, Let's let's lighten it up. Will,
let's do that. You ready,Let's go work with me? Long?
May she wave up and away?Or what do you say? What
do you say? What do yousay? It is when someone knocks on

(16:48):
the bathroom door while you're inside thebathroom, what do you say? Come
on in, taca seed? Ineeded that, I need that. Will.
The responses included occupied, which soundsvery pompous. Occupied someone's in here?
Well, that's obvious and there wassome comedian talked about this. You

(17:12):
know what he does when that happens. He screams, no, you do
the obligator, one of those,just to let him know someone's in there
without actually saying it. There wasone response, what was it? Oh,
there was something I came up withjust a second ago. And now
it just it just flew right outof my mind. Some people say they

(17:33):
just say nothing. The door's locked, So why do they have to answer?
Although you gotta be careful. Ohwell, never mind, it doesn't
matter. I say, take apicture to lasts longer. Gosh, come
on in, no will, No, what is will? For all the
money in the world. And thecamper A vexolologist, a vexiologist, a

(17:57):
vexilologist, somebody that studies vexolalos maymaybe ill will towards somebody. No,
that's not it. I'll tell youwhen we get back all I'm gonna make
you just hang there for three orfour minutes. Amazing collaborative of providers from

(18:18):
every medical discipline. That is whatUT Health Institute on Aging is been around
now for the better part of tenyears. And I am so happy to
continue speaking for them because I havelearned so much from going to the website,
from interviewing people here on fifty pluswho are members, and what they

(18:41):
do is they go through medical school, they go through therapy school, whatever
it is that they're discipline in medicineis, and then they go back for
additional education on how their expertise canbe applied to seniors and our issues.
We're different from younger people, prettyobvious when you look in the mirror.

(19:04):
But it's not a bad obvious.It's just different, that's all it is.
And different for us means that weneed to be seen by people who
understand us, and that's what youget at the Institute on Aging. In
addition, at the website, youalso get a tremendous amount of services and
information that you can use in youreveryday life to help you live longer,

(19:26):
better, happier, whether you goto the doctor or not. Go to
that website. Look around utch dotedu slash aging, uth dot edu slash
aging. Now they sure don't makethem like they used to. That's why
every few months we wash them,check us words, and spring on a

(19:48):
fresh code of wax. This isfifty plus with Dougpike. All right,
Welcome back, to sixty plus thanksto listening. Certainly do appreciate it.

(20:08):
Where do I want to go?Oh, by the way, I got
off the phone during the break witha client I have over on on my
outdoor show on the weekends on kbME. Vip Auto Glass and my son
in his brand new truck. It'snot brand new anymore. Certainly got a
little rock chip and vip Audo Glassdid nothing special for me. They just

(20:33):
did what they do and were ableto go remedy his situation with that rock
chip right where he was teaching vacationBible school this morning through a class of
little kids, and he parked hiscar, He left it there in the
parking lot, and when he cameback out, the rock chip was fixed

(20:59):
and his car was secured and workedout really well if you ever need something
like that. By all means,it's the actual The website is vip Autoglass
TX dot com. Turns out there'sanother similarly named company down in Florida.
Coincidence, total coincidence, not thesame people, but so that's why they

(21:21):
had to do their website the wayit is vip Autoglass TX dot com.
What I say in my spots overon kb ME is that you should go
and find I say the phone number, and I don't have it in front
of me, or I'd give itto you right now, but go to
that website and put their number inyour phone. But if you get a
crack like that, if you geta crack early in the morning, a
little chip anyway, they could probablyfix it the same day. That's what

(21:45):
Lisa told me over the weekend whenI said it in a commercial, and
then I realized, oh, Ibetter check with her first, and she
confirmed that, yes, if ifyou let them know where you're going to
be that afternoon, they may beable to get a tech to you that
day to fix a chip. Now, a whole windshield takes a little longer
like it did for me, butnonetheless, that's a fantastic number to have

(22:07):
there. If you ever hear thatlittle click and you know what the sound
sounds like, oh, it's justunbearable. You have to start looking at
the windshield and figure out where itis and what it is. But one
way or the other, they'll takegood care of you. From Japan all
the way over in Japan comes thestory of a twenty one year old woman
who somehow. She was just atthe beach, enjoying the beach, probably

(22:30):
with friends or family or whoever.Floating on an inner tube, may or
may not have closed her eyes fora few minutes, and may or may
not have been noticed floating away byanybody else. All of a sudden she
looks up and she's in the ocean, and she's actually drifted over thirty six

(22:52):
hours. She got caught in avery strong current and wasn't located until thirty
six hours later, actually spotted bya cargo ship about fifty miles where she
had walked into the water and ploppedherself into that inner tube and probably just

(23:15):
leaned back and rested. Fortunately,the water very warm this time of year,
warm enough anyway not to be athreat, and she finally when she
was seen by that cargo ship there. Because it was a cargo ship,
a big one, there was noway to get her into the ship.
So the cargo ship summoned a nearbytanker which was much smaller, and the

(23:41):
tanker actually got some people in thewater with her and then found a way
to hoist her. She was tooweak even to climb into what they had
brought for her, so they hadto. They got her into boats somehow,
They got her in one of theships somehow, and she's safe and
sound. And that story, interestinglyenough, had a couple more attached to

(24:06):
it. There was a couple ofteenagers over in Florida who had to be
rescued from a significant distance offshore.Both of them experienced strong distance swimmers.
But the swim they wanted to maketo a little island off the shore somewhere
over there. They got into acry and you just can never trust the

(24:27):
water between an island and the mainland. There's gonna be water rushing through there,
whether it's low tide, high tide, whatever, And they got swept
out to see they also made itback though fortunately. Years ago there was
a friend, an acquaintance, i'dcall it. I don't think i'd ever
been to the man's house, buta friend or an acquaintance who fished the

(24:48):
same billfish tournament circuits that I didyears ago. And he was the only
guy in the cockpit years ago onan offshore fish trip as the boat was
headed offshore to get to wherever theywere going to fish, and somehow he
got bounced out of the back ofthat boat. He slipped whatever and found

(25:12):
himself in the water and watched thatboat disappear over the horizon. Okay,
just watched it go away. Now, when you're in the water, you
can't really see that far, soit's not like he was up fifty feet
off the surface and looking beyond allthe way back to the mainland or whatever

(25:36):
bottom line is about. I don'tknow. An hour hour and a half
later, somebody realized the guy wasgone, and to their credit, the
people who were running that boat putin some calculations. They checked currents,
they checked wind, they checked allof that, and then set a course
to retrace their steps, and theyactually found that guy and they got him

(26:02):
back into the boat. It wasprobably one of the greatest rescue stories,
certainly of its time. And whenyou think of how long that man had
to tread water, he'd been inthe water for several hours, very strong,
very young, and made it somehow, man, oh man, that
would have been a that very easilycould have been a rough, rough situation.

(26:26):
I don't know whether he had anyflotation with him or not, but
even if you did, there's allkinds of things in the ocean that could
get you Before they got back,but they got him, by gosh,
they did get him back to youwill back to you will how much time
we got? One minute? Okay, I have to do some short ones.
Good dog gold or no gold orwhich means what good dog? Good

(26:53):
dog? This is a good one. According to dog owners, the most
behaved dog breed is the one Imost recently had, the Labrador Retriever,
and the worst behaved dog breed.You want to take a guess, a
little chilhua wa. Just no,actually, not a Siberian Husky. Oh
yeah, yeah, they're pretty prettytemperamental. Temperamental Is that the word you

(27:17):
want to use. I was gonnago with frenetic. Okay, this can't
slow down, don't want to doanything? All right, I've got more
new I've got all kinds of goodstuff to finish out with. We'll do
that when we get back. We'lltake the break right now. On the
way out of late health. Ifyou are a guy and you have an
enlarged non cancerous prostate, you knowthat you have symptoms. They manifest themselves

(27:41):
almost every night, up and down, off to the bathroom, or even
during the day. You go intothe restroom, you empty your bladder,
or so you think, and yougo back to your desk or back to
your car or whatever, and fiveminutes later, ten minutes later, maybe
suddenly you got go again. Sometimesit's because you weren't able to empty completely.

(28:03):
A late health can fix that byprostate artery embolization, a process that
goes in identifies the artery that feedsthat nasty old prostate and then shuts it
off so that the prostate withers anddies and with it go all the symptoms
that you've been having. Same withfibroids for women, same with ugly veins,

(28:26):
same procedure and well, same processanyway, not the exact same procedure
even for head pain in some instances, and most of what they do A
happens within a couple of hours intheir offices and clinics, and b is
covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Alatehealth dot com can do an awful lot

(28:48):
to help you feel better and getrid of the symptoms of stuff like that.
They also do regenerative medicine, bythe way, which I think is
fantastic and proving an excellent way toalleviate chronic pain seven one, three,
five, eight, eight, thirtyeight eighty eight, seven one three five
eight eight thirty eight eighty eight,or go to the website a latehealth dot

(29:10):
com. That's a late health alate a latehealth dot com. Old guys
rule, and of course women neverget old. If you want to avoid
sleeping on the couch, oky,I think that sounds like a good plan.
Fifty plus continues. Here's more withDoug. All right, welcome back,

(29:48):
fourth and final segment of fifty plusfor the day Tuesday. By the
way, in case you didn't know, Holy cow, I was losing track
of days last week. They wereall spent without electricity. I wasn't.
I was able to keep my familysafe and comfortable, but at significant expense,

(30:11):
and that it was worth every dime. Believe me, it wasn't.
I I'm not complaining about that partof it at all. I knew they
were safe, I knew they werecomfortable, and that does all that mattered
to me. All right, movingon, here's some good news. Will.
Oh wait, I was supposed totell you what a vexillologist is.
You want to take another guess,No, tell me what it is.

(30:34):
A vexillologist, Will is somebody whostudies flags. Oh yeah, how about
that, Okay, somebody who studiesflags, which I think is cool,
up, up and away. Youwant that one? Or do you want

(30:57):
how does he do that? Howdoes he do that? A nutrition influencer
and I sent this if you know, you know, I sent this to
Sean Salisbury and Brian Lilima, anutrition influencer on social media, says he
always packs coconuts to crack open anddrink on the plane. And yes,

(31:22):
the TSA does allow whole unopened coconutsthrough security. Seems like a lot of
work to do on line? Andwhat did I call it? How does
he do that? Now? Howdoes he crack him open on the plane
with anything that you can carry onto the plane? You know what?
I I wonder gets the middle seatright and then just cracks it on the

(31:47):
heads of the people in Mexics twoat a time, knock him out real
quick before they can blink exactly.Oh, I don't think that's it.
I would I would imagine, Okay, if this guy's is powerful an influencer,
is it sounds like he may be. Perhaps he's in in first okay,
and then he says, hey,just bring me a knife, and

(32:09):
then he kind of whittles through oneof the little holes. It still feels.
I don't know how he does itwithout getting in trouble. When when
I got in trouble more than onceand lost my little leather man micratool that
has a knife blade on it aboutI don't know about an inch long.
And that's it, and that thatwas in. Oh, I'll tell you

(32:30):
what else I couldn't carry years ago, and I don't know if you can
now. Is fishing reels that haveline on them. Oh, you can't
carry fishing line, but you canwear a belt. And I got a
hunts that the belt could be atleast as dangerous, if not a lot
more so than a piece of fishingline. But I don't run the show.

(32:53):
I don't run the show. That'sthere. Oh, this is kind
of interesting. Well, two dogsout of twenty five actually completed the rigorous
training that they underwent to enable themto detect oncoming episodes of PTSD, the

(33:16):
Ultimate Service Dog for people who haveundergone some horrible traumatic events in their lives,
especially combat veterans. They sniffed thepatient's breath and their noses are able
to detect. I can't remember exactlywhat they called the chemical that's released pre

(33:38):
episode, you know, before somebodygets really really anxious and nervous and scared
and whatever that goes along with PTSD. The dogs can identify that. And
it's interesting that only two of twodozen dogs were able to even complete the

(33:59):
training. Tells me that it takesan awful lot to become one of those
dogs. Do you think it's Courtisong? No? No, no, no,
I know, just something has amuch longer name and and just much
it's It sounds way more fancy thanthat. Whatever it is, I can't
recall the name exactly, cannot recallthe name. A teenager in Canada.

(34:21):
I found this, and I wantto say we talked about it. Maybe
we didn't. I don't know.Teenager in Canada, they give you a
ticket for using your phone while you'rein your car, okay, But this
time I think they went a littletoo far because this kid, this teenager
was on his phone, granted,but he was on his phone connected to

(34:44):
the McDonald's loyalty app while he wasin the drive through lane at McDonald's.
A little overreaction by the the whatdo they call them mounties up there?
The smokies? No, they're notwell smoky mounties. No, they call

(35:04):
them mounties up there will Smokey iswhat the bandit was looking out for.
Okay, I think that's about right. That's not important. How much time
do I have to you have twoand a half mental fantastic. Well,
we'll do all kinds of little funthings here then. Petty Grievance Lucky to

(35:27):
be alive or Welcome back, Florida. Petty Grievance women claims she filed for
divorce because her husband wouldn't stop overtighteningall the jar lidge to the point where
she couldn't open them. That's wild, Doug, I know this story,
do you really? Yes? Doyou know the person? I don't know
