Managing Technology

Today, Doug Pike interviews Jim Lenaham about technology.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Remember when it was impossible to misplace the TV remote
because you were the TV remote. Remember when music sounded
like this? You remember when social media was truly social?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey John, how's it going today? Well, this show is
all about you. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Helpful information on your finances, good health, and what to
do for fun. Fifty plus brought to you by the
UT Health Houston Institute on Aging, Informed decisions for a healthier,
happier life and Bronze Roofing repair or replacement. Bronze Roofing
has you covered? And now fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Thursday issue of the program starts right now and no
better time. Really. I thanks for hanging out fourth and
final day the DNC in Chicago, where actually where dozens
of protesters were arrested outside the conference center last night.
I've listened to a fair share of what's been said
up there, and I'm I'm disturbed by the lack of

(01:13):
substance in what these speakers are talking about. They just
they're cheerleading, is all they're doing. They're they're holding a
pep rally for a team that if if the game
is fair, the team's going to lose, but they got
to hold the pressure pep rally nonetheless. So anyway, I

(01:34):
don't want to do that quick launch first year from
indoor Texas into air quality specialists, because cleaner air is
healthier air. As always, I'll pound two fifty depending on
where you are, and when the clouds burned away, by
the way, it's either going to be hot or really
really really warm wherever you are. Today's highs and low's
a haikup with no further ado. Will are you ready?

(02:01):
All right? Here we go, Sizzle goes away, rain of possibility.
But don't hold your breath. Sizzle go away. Sizzle goes away,
Sizzle goes because the temperatures are gonna come down five
or six degrees. Okay, you would You have to listen

(02:25):
because the first time it's was when it's gonna be
most impactful. Will I'm gonna just cost myself to half
a point right there. I don't like the backtalk, Doug.
I'm gonna go with careful a six point careful three.

(02:47):
That's good. That's good. Fine. Down at the market where
the big four indicators came out the gate green this morning,
all four had turned red. Not long after that, Unfortunately.
Part of this is the whole sham that is the
jobs reports every month, where they come out and tell
you this administration, big bold print, that the administration is

(03:12):
responsible for adding seven six eight, five hundred thousand jobs
whatever it was that particular month, and then thirty days later,
forty days later, they revised that number down by a chunk,
usually buy third, sometimes a half, and so it's all

(03:35):
it's all a joke to them. It has to be
a joke to them. They can't be serious when for
the last thirty eight forty two months somewhere in there,
they've gotten it wrong almost every month, and then they
come back and revise it. If anyone in Washington d
were serious about the job counts right now, they would

(03:57):
hire people who know how to count. And the of course,
the wild card in that deck is that the jobs
count includes almost every month mostly new or returning federal
government jobs, which shouldn't count at all. Frankly, the government

(04:21):
has to get smaller. We can't afford the government we
have right now, and it's doing a horrible job anyway,
but we can't fire it. We can only vote it out.
Enough of that the gasoline or oil went the other
way it went. Actually, it was down early this morning briefly,

(04:42):
but now it's climbing back a little bit. Gold shed
a chunk early, but still hovers above twenty five hundred
dollars an ount. So if you got a couple of
gold bars lying around by the way, I mentioned yesterday
that for the first time ever, the price of a
bar of gold, which is four hundred ounces a bar

(05:03):
of gold, sold for more than a million dollars and
still does today. Laws were north of twenty five hundred
dollars an ounce were north of a million dollars a bar.
So if you can go out in the wild West, well,
the wild West is kind of an oxymoron. It wasn't
wild really because everybody had guns, so nobody used them

(05:23):
unless they were just crazy or drunk. The bottom line is,
if you can go out west, maybe somewhere where there
was a ghost town or something like that, and just
start digging holes around there, bring a metal detector with you,
bar the one Grandpa uses on the beach, and then
go out there and find yourself, I don't know, eight
ten bars of gold, you'll be in pretty good shape.

(05:45):
Being pretty good shape. Back to the Windy City, I
can't help myself, aside from abortion, which was available at
no charge right outside the DNC gard to see a
planned parenthood. By the way, I've heard little about either candidate,
the presidential candidate or vice presidential on the DN or

(06:07):
on the left, there any kind of policy plans, even
even the plans just of the party in general. They
don't want to tell us what they intend to do
because if they do, and if they do so, honestly,
no sane person could possibly climb on board for that.
It just it would make no sense at all. It's frustrating,

(06:29):
but that's that's exactly what they're doing. The reason they
don't talk policy is because their policies are going to
very swiftly and very methodically convert the United States to socialism.
And that won't turn out well. It never has, never will.
How much time do I have will because there's something
I wanted one minute. Okay, I'm gonna hold this thing
I saw on the internet earlier today and I'll get

(06:53):
back to it in a little while. Oh as much
as I dislike illegal immigration, half this country needs wake
up also and realize that the ten or twelve million
people who came here in the past three years. Came
here because they're fleeing what the left is trying to
turn us into, which would be the next failed socialist

(07:14):
experiment in the world. Every other time, there's been an
elite class that lives like kings and queens. Boy, they
live high on the hog. And there's the elite light
class of business owners who run the country so long
as they pay off the kings and queens. And then
there's the rest of us, the regular people who are

(07:34):
no longer allowed to say or do anything that their
rulers tell them not to say or do. And I
for one, don't want to live that way, but we're
rapidly headed in that direction with some of the restrictions
that have been placed on us, and that we've just
oh yeah, that, well, that's not a big deal. Let's
just don't say anything about that. It's just not that important.
Yet it is, every bit of it's important, every bit.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
We got to take a little break here. When we
get back, we're gonna talk to Jim Lenahan from the AAARP.
He has written a guide to Technology for seniors. It's
an annual thing they do. He's the editor of that,
and we'll talk to him in just a minute. On
the way out, I'll tell you about ut Heal's Institute
on Aging, the amazing collaborative of providers from every medical

(08:21):
discipline who have returned for more education as to how
their discipline can be applied, how their knowledge can be
applied specifically to seniors. There is extra education involved for
us if we go to the website of the Institute
on Aging, where we can find out better how to

(08:42):
take care of ourselves nutritionally, physically, mentally, emotionally. And there's
just a ton of resource, a ton of information there.
All you have to do is tap into it by
going to utch dot edu slash aging. Thousands of providers
I'm learning more and more who practice around town, down

(09:03):
in the medcenter, out in outlying clinics and hospitals. And
if you see that credential by their name, if they're
a member of the Institute on Aging, then you know
you're seeing someone who knows what makes you tick. Uth
dot edu slash agingut dot edu slash aging. Now they
sure don't make them like they used to.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's why every few months we wash them, check his
fluids and spring on a fresh code O wax.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
This is fifty Plus with Doug Pike. All Right, welcome
back to fifty plus. Thanks for listening, certainly do appreciate it.
Thanks as always for sharing your lunch with us. In
this segment, we're going to talk about technology. As I

(09:50):
mentioned on Facebook earlier today and up front, I'm going
to share that I'm probably about average I think when
it comes to current technology, I know, will you can't
pipe in, which is why I've enlisted help from Jim Lanahan,
editor of AARP's twenty twenty four Tech Made Easy Guide.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Welcome Jim, Thank you very much for having me.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
You bet so on average. If seniors in this country
took a test on basic apps and Internet one oh one,
what grade you think we'd get.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Well, I'm not sure about a grade, but I will
tell you it's an improving score. Let's let's put it
that way. Heyes, what we're finding is that people over
fifty are as likely to have smartphones, mobile devices, you know, computers,
all of that, use those on a regular basis, you know,
as much as people who are younger, and they're becoming

(10:43):
more familiar with the technology all the time. And a
lot of that what you have heard about, you know,
sort of the digital divide is going away. You know,
we've we've had a lot of this technology for many
many years now, and even if they maybe didn't grow
up with it when they were kids, they start have
grown up with it as adults.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
And so we don't run all my seniors off right away.
And I'm in this bucket talk first if you want
about where we seem to be doing best with current technology,
what are we doing right?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Well, I would say that you know, older people are
very active on social media. That is very true. You
know you see a lot of your friends and family
on Facebook. That is true. What we try to do
here with our tech guide and advice is to help

(11:35):
people get help people use social media, for one example,
better And one thing that we've heard from people is
they want to really connect with their kids and their
grandkids on social media. But those kids and grandkids may
not be on Facebook because you know, that's become sort
of a platform now for older people, isn't it right?

(11:56):
But but you and I, you know, we may not
be comfortable or they may not be a couple having us,
you know, view their tiktoks, right, So there's a middle
there's a middle ground here it's called Instagram. That's really
probably the best place, easy to use, lots of people
on it, and also it gives the younger generations a
good ability to filter what different people see, so that's

(12:19):
important to them as well, a great way to connect.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah. Yeah, I don't have grandchildren yet, and kind of
gladly since my son's only sixteenth, but I do hear
a lot of people talking about using social media to
to see the grandkids who live out of state. There
was used to be just phone calls. It's fantastic. So
so fast forward into some more contemporary uses. Let's maybe
start with money in this in this light of data

(12:43):
breaches and my stuff was stolen in that last big
when I already found that out, How safe is it
now to overall to do all your banking online.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
If you're if you're working with a you know, a
reputable institution, you should be safe and honest, there's really
not much way around this anymore. I mean, online banking
is pretty much the norm. But you know, if you're
working with if you have every money invested in any
FDIC insured institution, you should be in good shape. There

(13:16):
one thing we're finding that people are increasingly using as well.
Are these what they call peer to peer payment apps.
So you yeah, PayPal, Venmo, Apple, Past, stuff like that.
So you go in with you know, some friends on
sporting event tickets and you owe them some money, it's
a really super easy way to transfer that money onto them.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
One quick footnote on that though, Jim for me anyway,
my credit card company and I have a pretty significant
card with a significant limit and all that stuff. When
I pass money from PayPal, they charge you. Even if
I passed ten to fifteen to twenty dollars for something,
they charge me fifteen or twenty dollars for doing that.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Wow, that's a lot.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
When they talked to them instead, no, you don't need
to be doing this. And we're at odds and if
I can bore, the minute I find somebody to jump to,
I'm going to jump.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
So the one way you can avoid that is to
instead of using instead of connecting the payment app to
a credit card, you can connect it to a debit
card and if it comes directly out of your bank.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Account, that way you avoid those kinds of fees. Now
here's the thing, though, you want to be really careful
with who you send money to because while it can
be really easy to send money to your friend. It
can also be really easy to mistakenly send money to
somebody you don't know, so you want to make really sure.
We advise people, you know, double triple check, make sure

(14:42):
you have the right account you're sending it to use
the safeguards that are in placed on these apps where
they ask you to say, input the person's phone number
as well, so that it's like a way that it
double checks on its own. Be really careful with this stuff.
We always just advise people, don't don't rush it, you know,
take a moment, take a deep breath, make sure you're

(15:03):
sending it to the right person, because if you send
it to the wrong person by mistake or you know,
by some chance, you got you know, tricked, which we
always advise people do not ever respond to money requests
in these apps, but if you did, it can be
really hard to recover that you may not be able to.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, that's something that's very important, is double checking and
not being fooled. And the predators pray on seniors because
we tend to be trusting, we tend not to know
how to check to make sure something secure. Its just
it really kind of ticks me off. Let's don't get
into that. Jim Lenahan from aarp On fifty plus here

(15:40):
talk about some of the gadgets now that are most
beneficial to seniors.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Are we using them even well increasingly, yes, So probably
the best one would be the smart watch. Okay, so
you know, Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, watches, things like that.
A lot of them. You know, you don't have to
use a sally use every feature because they're packed with
all kinds of bells and whistles. But the health features
in particular can be really beneficial, especially as we age,

(16:07):
we want to keep track of our health more, not
just things like you know, tracking how many steps you take.
Obviously that's beneficial, but some of these have heart rate monitors,
some of them have sleep tracking on them, so you
really get a sense of each night, you know how
deeply you've slept, how well rested you are, so you
can make you make adjustice to your sleep routine to

(16:28):
get better, you know, scores there. You know, some of
them have fall detectors. They'll call for emergency help if needed.
So there really are a lot of benefits to smart watches,
just beyond things like you know, getting alerts that you
got a new text.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Down believe it or not already to less than a minute.
What's the most important thing you can say to seniors
to encourage them to embrace the technology?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
You know? The biggest thing is, you know, try not
to get overwhelmed. So, as I mentioned, there's a lot
of features in pretty much any of these devices. Find
the thing that are most important to you and just
learn those and if you do that, once you master that,
you become more comfortable with the device overall, then you
can move on to other things.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah. I think one really important part of it is,
like you said, finding something you can latch onto and
then you don't have to go halfway across town to
learn about technology. Just go to YouTube.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Well is that too exactly?

Speaker 2 (17:22):
You know? I just thought of that as we were
talking old Well, yeah, I got one of those. Yeah,
he's the tech expert in the house, Jim Lenahan from AARP.
Where can they find this guy?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Jim? So if you remember, you get it mailed to
your house and AARP the magazine, But anybody can go
visit AARP dot org slash tech, where we have this
content and much other content related to personal technology that
can help.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
You out fantastic. I may call you back. I got
lots more questions. Thank you, all right, all right, thank you,
uh huh bye bye. All right, we gotta take a
little break here. On a way out, I'll tell you
about bronze roofing thirty plus years in the same business.
Doesn't he doesn't build patios, he don't install air conditioners.
He's a roofer, always has been, always will be. Per Friday,
thirty more years. I would imagine if you get your

(18:08):
roof inspected every couple of years, it will last you
a very long time, because little problems never get a
chance to become big problems. They will for nothing. Inspect
your roof, usually within a day. It's usually within it.
You call today, they'll be out there tomorrow, probably maybe
even this afternoon, depending on where you are and where
their guys are. And once that guy comes off your roof,

(18:31):
he's gonna If you're lucky, he'll just say, no problems here.
See in a couple of years, if there is a situation,
they will show you pictures of the damage, explain how
it probably happened, and then explain also how they can
fix it, what materials they'll use, which are all excellent materials.
I've had them on my roof doing stuff half a
dozen times, and other roofs in my family. They will

(18:56):
tell you how long it'll take to fix it, and importantly,
they'll tell you how much it's gonna callt lost. If
you just have all the time in the world and
you don't care about wasting it, go ahead and get
three or four more estimates. Or you can do like
I do, because I've trusted Skeeter Braun and his cruise
for a very long time. Just say, get started and
get that taken care of before the next rain drops fall.

(19:16):
Bronze roofing dot com free estimates usually within twenty four hours.
B R A U N S. Bronzrooofing dot com two
eight one four eight zero ninety nine hundred two eight
one four eight zero ninety nine hundred.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Aged to perfection. This is fifty plus with Dougpike.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Segment three starts now fifty plus. Thanks for listening. Certainly,
do appreciate it. Let's some Let me see where I
want to go here. I have so so much I
want to deal with them taking care of that. I
watched a video yesterday, by the way, and watching the
DNC as much as I have. It's kind of it.
Maybe want to share with this college professor students first

(20:09):
day of school convinced. I believe it was some sort
of a political science class maybe or government something like that.
In any event, most of the students in that college
professor's class, and big surprise, really they were convinced, which
is like AKA and doctrinated. They were convinced that socialism

(20:32):
was far better than any merit based economy or any
merit based government. So she gave the kids a chance,
gave them a choice of a traditional semester or one
that followed the rules of socialism, one where everybody has
the same, nobody has more, nobody has less, everybody has

(20:52):
the same. And guess what they chose, everybody has the
same because socialism they think works great. First test comes along.
Grades come back pretty good, number of a's and b's,
lots of c's, a few worst grades. Class average is
a B. Now that was thrilling to those who'd gotten

(21:17):
lower grades, but disappointing, as you might figure, to the
kids who studied their behinds off and actually made a's
on the test. They had to give up some of
that A. So that everybody could make a B. Well,
the second test came along, the kids who'd scored the
lowest on that first one didn't bother to study at
all for the second one because they figured they'd get

(21:38):
another B no matter what they did. But a lot
more kids earned poorer grades in that second test, and
the ones who studied the hardest for that first test
backed off because they weren't going to get rewarded for it.
So their grades go from a's to b's, the b's
go from bes to c's, and on down the road.
And in that second test, class average was a D,

(22:03):
and by the third test, the class average was an F,
and the kids weren't given an opportunity to change what
they had all voted was going to be the best
option for them in that class that semester. Remain that
way the rest of the semester. They were all telling
each other that they all needed to study more and
make better grades, only they never actually did that. They

(22:25):
talked a lot of talk in class, but they never
did the extra work themselves outside of class, and ultimately
the teacher failed the whole class, but hopefully taught them
a vital lesson any society, any business. Any classroom that
doesn't reward hard work is going to be left with
a workforce or a student body in this case, that

(22:48):
quickly loses interest in doing anything. What's the point. If
you're not going to be rewarded for good work, then
why do the work. They go from good to good enough,
than to enough, and when they realize nothing they do
is going to get them more for the effort, they

(23:09):
just quit trying all together. It's happened around the world
a billion times. Student loan forgiveness is a part of
this little taste of socialism because the wage journers aren't
asked whether they want to bail out young adults who
made bad decisions. They're just told their taxes are going
up again. Now here candidate Harris talking about mortgage forgiveness.

(23:32):
She's talking about medical debt forgiveness. Who's going to pay
for that? We are? We are, We're already more than
more than thirty three trillion bucks in debt. We could
tax every American billionaire one hundred percent of his or
her net worth. Probably everybody who makes more than who
even has more than one hundred million dollars, take it all,

(23:55):
Take every dime they have bring them all down to zero,
and it wouldn't make a dentt in our day. And
now AOC's out there running around talking about dumping trillions
more dollars and depend on depending on whose story you read,
it's anywhere from fifty to ninety trillion dollars at green
smoke and green mirrors, with virtually no ultimate benefit to

(24:18):
anybody for the next ten generations. The reason it looks
like socialism works in some countries is that when they're
citizens don't perform their assigned tasks, they get punished, sometimes
very severely, whether it's in social credits being taken away,
or or lost lost permission to do this or do that.

(24:42):
Sometimes they just disappear. Ah, and that's not good. Let's
go to something a little bit lighter, shall we will, please?
And I will give you the options between let me
go to the fresh ones and then we we need them.
We'll pick out the others later. And now you know,

(25:03):
goodbye or watch your mouth goodbye. This is interesting. The
word goodbye is actually a shortened version of the phrase
what do you know? Will goodt biath? That's the Latin. Yeah, sure,
we'll go with that. No, it's actually an abbreviation of

(25:27):
God to be with you. And if you listen very
closely right now, you can you can hear some liberals'
heads beginning to boil at that revelation. They didn't know
that they always say goodbye. They want to say goodbye.
They want to curse you out and tell you goodbye
and get you out of their face. But now, what
are they gonna say, Because that's a very very religiously

(25:49):
based phrase. It'll it'll get called out at some point
in this world and they'll they'll tell us to stop
saying that too. People are online sharing their face I
how much time do I have?

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Will?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Minute and a half? That's a guess. Can you have
a minute twenty? That's not a bad guess. Then, So
people are online sharing their family friendly phrases they use
for retiring as a couple to the bedroom. And you
have any idea what they are, well, you don't have to.
You don't have to worry about the dog. You can

(26:24):
just say in plain English what you want to say, right,
will to go to bed? Yeah, let's go by? I see,
let's go Uh the family friendly This one's kind of
soft and silly. It's just say, oh, we're gonna go
take a nap. That's just that's not fooling anybody. The

(26:47):
second most popular was we're gonna go help each other
with our taxes. And the third one, which I frankly
think is just bragging, and I would be willing to
bet that it would be in a traditional heterosexual relationship
it would be the guy using this expression and not

(27:07):
the woman. That expression is we're gonna go move some furniture,
like yeah, yeah, no, probably not. Wash your mouth is
an interesting one. Somebody analyzed. Oh, i'll tell you when
we get back what they analyzed, and hey, we're number
one in the category. I don't know that it should

(27:30):
make us proud, but we're number one in this one.
All the way out. Don't let age sneak up on
you in the form of it in a large, noncatrous prostate,
in the form of fibroids, in the form of ugly veins.
All those things can be remedied before they become big
problems for you by going to a late health's clinics

(27:52):
around town and getting them remedied with vascular surgery, usually
just a couple of hours in the office. What they do,
for example, with the prostate issue and boy, if you've
got one of those, you know what I'm talking about,
starts up after fifty and just gets worse from there.
And my hand's starting to go up in the air
on some of this stuff too. So what they do

(28:12):
when you get there is they they identify the artery
that is feeding that prostate all its oxygen rich blood,
which enables it to grow bigger, and they just turn
off the switch. They close the faucet up. Sorry, we're
plugging that artery. The blood still keeps flowing through your veins,
but it just bypasses that exit on the artery freeway,

(28:35):
the arterial freeway, if you will, only takes a couple
of hours. You get to go home to recuperate. You
never go to a hospital. You don't need to do that.
You go home. You recover where you're most comfortable, where
people will feed you and change the channels for you
and do whatever you want. Seven one, three, five, eight, eight,

(28:57):
thirty eight eighty eight. They're also doing re jative medicine,
by the way, which is great for chronic pain, and
very much of what they do, go to the website
or make a phone call and check it out. Very
much of what they do is covered by Medicare and Medicaid,
A latehealth dot com, a l A t E A
late health dot com or as I mentioned earlier, seven
to one, three, five, eight, eight, thirty eight eighty eight.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Old guys rule, and of course women never get old.
If you want to avoid sleeping on the couch.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Okay, well, I think that sounds like a good plan.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Fifty plus continues. Here's more with Doug. But here we go.
Find a segment of the programs starts right now. It's

(29:52):
and if you there's a little if you can detect
a little smile on my face, this is my ya. Tomorrow.
Will is going to put some to go and maybe
use maybe use Jim's segment. Will come on, Man, that's
a good one. That. Yeah, Tomorrow's audience deserves to hear that,
either for the first or second time. They can download

(30:12):
the podcast. They can do that as well. What do
you what else?

Speaker 5 (30:15):
You?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
You planning one of your fifty plus live with Will Melbourne?
Maybe could be you don't have that, you don't.

Speaker 6 (30:27):
You don't think so you don't think. I don't know, Will,
I mean I could. Okay, let's let's get back to work.
I promise me with the good time. I promise to.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Tell you what we're number one in around the world,
and it's it's nothing to be proud of, honestly. But
and all you need to do is just listen to
conversations among young people, especially and sadly increasing numbers of
even seniors. Well we are. Somebody analyzed social media posts

(31:01):
English speaking social media posts and found that the United
States of America uses more profanity than any other country. Huh,
no surprise there. UK's next, probably no surprise there. Then Australia,
then New Zealand, and then Canada. That pretty much wraps

(31:27):
it up. Yeah, the UK, they got some potty mouse,
but not like ours. Buddy, Go to a college campus.
Go to here's one that'll surprise you. Moms and dads
or grandparents, grandmothers and grandfathers. Go to a baseball game
among kids who are older than thirteen and prop up

(31:52):
a chair near the dugout where the kids can't really
see you, but you can hear them. They they've learned
a lot of words that we either didn't learn by
that time or certainly wouldn't say out loud by that time.
But boy, they're good at it. They are over in

(32:14):
Great Britain, there's a bill. I don't know what they
call them over there. It's not a bill maybe, but
whatever it is, there's a proposal on the on the
blocks that says that if employers contact you outside your
your specified specific or specified whichever you want to use

(32:36):
work hours. If you work a nine to five job
and they call you at eight thirty and say, hey,
we need you to come in early, or if they
call you at five thirty and say hey, I need
you to do something for me early in the morning,
or I'd like you to do something for me now,
if they contact you outside your business hours, they will
be fined for that. Maybe the employee should get the money. Boy,

(33:01):
That would really slow it down. That would really slow
it down. I don't see that happening over here anytime soon.
All right, we'll back to you real quick. Goodness in
bloom scary mistake or no surprise, no surprise. Study found
that getting married makes men more likely to age optimally

(33:27):
and live all live longer, not the same effect on women.
And any guy or any woman who is not just
nodding their head going yeah, that makes a lot of sense,
because we fellas are probably harder to live with than
they are for us. And mostly we get a lot

(33:49):
of support from the women in our lives, most of
us do. If you got the right one especially and
the women, well it, it should be a dead even balance.
But I think in most families it's still not quite even.
And I think that, hey, I'm not complaining. Okay, uh

(34:09):
get this well, mob the word mob, you know where
it comes from. What it's Latin. It's a loosely abbreviated
one single syllable from the Latin mobility vulgus, which isn't
what you're thinking either. You heard vulgus and you thought

(34:30):
something nasty, didn't you something vulgar? Yeah, it's not that
at all. You know what it translates to, Goodbye, moving commoners,
moving at commoners. Yes, just a big herd of moving commoners.
I've injected the herd part. I'm thinking that's kind of
what they mean by that. But yeah, mobile commoners, that's

(34:53):
all it means, though it's really not in true translation.
It's not that big deal. But the difference is if
that moving bunch of commoners starts breaking windows or shoplifting
or setting things on fire, that's a different thing as

(35:14):
long as they're just a peaceful mob. Okay, if you
want to carry a sign and bang a tambourine, that's cool,
but just don't hurt people. Don't don't interrupt people's lives. Okay,
don't sit in the middle of the freeway either. That's that.
That's just unfair to the people who are trying to

(35:35):
just trying to get to work or trying to get
to a hospital or a doctor's appointment. Every time they
pull off one of those little stunts, it just it
bothers me. It really does. Scary mistake. I had up
here family in California, and this is kind of a
I don't think they really need to urge parents all
over the world to be cautious with this, but it's

(35:56):
just something to tuck into the back of your head
for your kids or your grandkids. It's their two year
old daughter was mistakenly served alcohol in a restaurant. She
got lit up, and at two years old, that could
have been very dangerous. They ordered apple juice and instead

(36:16):
she got a nice little cup of cooking wine. Wow,
this is great apple juice, mom, Sign me up for
some more. H So much going on in this world,
I'm trying. I'm trying to keep trying to keep optimistic,
remain optimistic, and I will all the way through it all.

(36:39):
We're gonna whatever happened, boy, you know what, Tomorrow, No,
not tomorrow, it'll have to be Monday. I may take
up voting voting. There already are many examples of non
citizens being allowed to vote or being registered at least
to vote, and problems with voting machines being hacked. What

(36:59):
could possible go wrong? We'll sort that out Monday. Thanks
