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, Remember when social media was truly social?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey John, how's it going today?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well, this show is all about you, only thee This
is thefty plus with Doug Pike. 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

(00:43):
repair or replacement. Bronze Roofing has you covered? And now
fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
All right, here we go. Tuesday edition of the program
starts right now. Thank you very much for listening. I
actually I posted something at Facebook earlier today about what
we're gonna do at the bottom of the air, and
that would be have a discussion with somebody who really
knows all about it, a discussion of off season travel.
And I thought that was quite appropriate actually for this audience,

(01:12):
seeing as how more than a few of us, I
would expect and hope at least that more than a
few of you are already retired or nearly so, or
at least can break away because you've gotten to a
point in your life where there's less major responsibility on you,
hopefully that you can sneak away for a little while.

(01:36):
And I'm going to talk to a guy named Steve
Gilde about just that, about good places to get away,
when to go, when not to go, how much you
can save by going in the off season. And one
of the things that appeals most greatly to me is
the absence of crowds. I am not a big fan

(01:57):
of long lines. I am not a big fan of
crowd I'm not a big fan of having people shoulder
to shoulder at twelve points off of me, like I'm
a clock face and there's somebody on every number. I
don't like that. Oh, anyway, here we are under cloud
east semi partially partly cloudy sky and a fifty to

(02:20):
fifty shot at more rain. It said, at least or
some rain if you didn't get any yesterday. I already did,
that's for sure. And already about a half a billion
dollars I learned this morning have been spent on political
ads so far. And I saw a story this morning
that said the bulk of the money for this election

(02:42):
is going to be spent in October. Holy cow. So
good luck to the hardware stores and the costume stores
with squeezing your way onto television to get your kids
and your yard decked out for Halloween. Good Luck to
all of us when this one goes down. In case
you didn't notice yesterday, or at least out where I live,

(03:05):
the afternoon temperature was just thanks to that good soaking
we got in sugar Land. And here at the building,
in our office building or outside, not in it, but
outside it, it rained hard for quite some time. It
poured same as at my house for quite some time
as well. Afternoon temperature and I had to ask Alexa

(03:28):
twice to be sure I heard it right. Afternoon temperature
was eighty one degrees. In hindsight, I probably should have
asked her twice about the Astros final score too, Huh.
Waste the time though, because I actually watched it happen.
And why I heard Brian Lilima and Shawn Salisbury talking
about this this morning on kb ME. Why on earth

(03:50):
Jose Altuve the most the gamiest guy we have besides
maybe Alex Bregman. Why he got the off yesterday is
beyond me. This guy he's a player, he wants to play.
Anybody who is that much a player needs to be
on the field. I can't imagine how helpless he felt

(04:16):
and just watching watching the team build up a lead
first and then give it up. And a guy like
that doesn't need to be sitting on the bench, just
late in the season, that close to the playoffs. Just
no way. We gave up. We gave up some ground.
Mariners win yesterday, we lose. Now we're three and a
half games in front instead of four and a half

(04:36):
and three and a half games, as the Mariners found
out when they were ten games ahead of us not
that long ago. A three and a half game lead
can evaporate in a big fat hurry if you've got
your best guys sitting on the bench. We already have
enough of that, all right, Highs and lows in hikup

(05:00):
healthier air, doll pound two fifty and stay healthier and
you can find out all about them. Ready will sure
finally washed my car Sunday, much needed rain on Monday
works every.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Time, works every time.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Ever, retime works everytime. That's five every time.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
You're talking about going to the car wash. Yeah, and
then the next day it rains.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Every time, every time, every time that I can remember
a very short memory though, okay, on things on rain
after car I like that.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
How much do you like it?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Will? It's a little more personal this time. Yeah, you're
connecting with the audience.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I'm trying.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I'll give that one a seven and a half.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Look you there. That's way better than that pitdly little
score you gave me yesterday. All right, So moving into
the stock mart, thank you will, by the way, thanks
for acknowledging the connection and the personal touch. Moving into
the markets, ever so briefly anyway, thanks to Houston gooldexchange
dot com mix of red and green, but no significant

(06:23):
movement either way. Actually, oil was down almost a bucket barrel,
which is good. Gold also down, not good, almost ten
bucks an ounce last time I looked, but still significantly
farther north than that magic million dollar bar mark of
twenty five hundred an ounce. For those of you who

(06:45):
don't know a bar of gold, the standard for a
bar of gold is four hundred ounces four hundred troy ounces.
I don't know the difference, and that equates to at
twenty five hundred. Even that equates to a million dollars
a bar, and as I and several people with whom

(07:05):
I work around here determined yesterday, we wouldn't have to
find a whole lot of bars of gold to feel
pretty good about taking a couple of days off stepping
into the well. No, we've only got less than a minute, right, see,
I'm paying attention. Will look at that very quickly? Will yeah,
I can do this. Get a clue? Instructions not included

(07:29):
or sad but true, sad but true. Teacher in New
York quit her job to go to work where because
she's gonna make a lot more money. Will I don't
know where?

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Hooters?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
That is so sad on so many levels. Really, she
has given up the awesome profession of teaching because she
just can't make a living. I don't know what she'll
be teaching at Hooters, but she'll be making more money. Uh.
Inst to ut ut ut health same thing. Institute on

(08:05):
Aging is a conglomerate, a collaborative, if you will, of hundreds,
if not maybe more than a thousand, probably by now
healthcare providers from every discipline who have in addition to
their initial training, the years they spent in med school
or in how to become a therapist school, how to

(08:27):
become a psychologist, anybody any profession related to healthcare. These
people to become an institute on aging member go back
and get more of education on how they can apply
their knowledge specifically to seniors. They learn what makes the
senior body tick, which is far different than what makes

(08:50):
younger bodies tick. And ultimately they are enabled to make
us live longer, healthier, healthier, happier lives, which is a
good thing to have around and it's right here around
Houston for all of us to enjoy. All you got
to do to learn where these providers are and what
they can do. All you have to do to see
so many other services and opportunities available to enhance your

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Aged to Perfection. This is fifty plus with Dougpike. All right,
welcome back.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Segment two of this Tuesday edition of fifty plus starts
right now, stepping over over the markets, over gold, over oil,
over the weather, and back into the pile again covering
politics over the past few years, is like, and a

(10:00):
lot of you will remember this if you grew up
in the sixties or early seventies, especially as little kids.
Well that's all I guess that's how you would have
to grow up. It's a lot like playing baseball or
kickball barefoot in the front yard in a neighborhood full
of stray dogs. And yet another confession that shines a

(10:23):
really bright bright light on what's been going on behind
the political curtain of deception. I guess it is these
past few years. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a
recently released letter that was addressed to the Committee on
the Judiciary of the US House of Representatives. Zuckerberg said this,

(10:46):
and I quote in twenty twenty one, senior officials from
the Biden administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our
teams for months to censor certain COVID nineteen content, including
humor and satire. The government pressure was wrong, and I

(11:10):
regret that we were not more outspoken about it. End quote. Yeah,
we all regret that, Mark little too late. Mark. The
problem with all of these admissions and confessions that suddenly
come to light years later, they're after the fact, and

(11:32):
after the fact. This gets a little blurry. We don't
really care that much. And for the forgiving gullible American,
they don't really they don't think about this anymore. They
don't really grasp the consequences of this late this late confession,
this late admission that that was going on. There's so

(11:55):
many things that have happened in the past few years,
so many things that we have been told and told
and told are true. And then years later and not
that many years later, this is only three years later,
not that long afterward that oh well, yeah, we should
have told you this. This is what really happened. Russian collusion,

(12:16):
the dossier. You remember that Hunter's laptop. Now it's not real.
And all the millions of dollars we are learning almost
daily have been earned in recent years by influence pedaling.
The left pushes the lies with just unlimited help from
major media, and they stick to their stories long enough

(12:37):
to let them slip off the front page or get
exposed from the inside, which is what's happening now actually
with Zuckerberg's confection confession. Until there's something that can roll
out as the next distraction from the truth, that's when
that's when this is gonna kind of disappear too. There'll

(12:57):
be something else. There'll be something else. They hang their
hat on. Prominent people, powerful people. There they stood up
and told us since for a long long time now
that we can trust this administration. And what did that
get us? Okay, what did that get us? The house
of cards and a pack of lize is what it is.
And the deflection is just frightening. I keep going back

(13:19):
to that statement I read a week or two ago
and share it, I think as recently as yesterday. Maybe
if you want to confuse a whole lot of people,
very quickly and effectively, accuse your enemy of exactly what
you're doing. How many times have we heard Democrats say
that if President Trump's re reelected, he's going to put
liberals in prison by drumming up false charges against them.

(13:40):
Does that sound familiar. That's all they've done for the
past three years with our former president and many of
his associates and allies, And lately lately they've rounded up
I think it's a couple of hundred, they say, former
staff members who worked with the Trump Pence team who
now say they don't like and pets or both, or

(14:02):
one or the other or both they focus on Trump.
Based on what I've heard about Harris and the way
she treats people. I don't think it would take very
long to find folks who dislike her too, if the
media would actually look. But they don't. And one more
and then we'll step back away from all of this.
I read this morning that Harris's team keeps tweaking the
rules for this upcoming debate. Mike's off, Mike's on seeded

(14:24):
standing notes, no notes. I don't like the idea of notes.
I say noe to notes. By the way, I want
to hear what these candidates think. I don't want to
hear them read what script writers are telling them. They
should telling her that she should think, because I'm afraid
that's what we would get on her side. If they can't,

(14:45):
if they can't work without notes, I don't really want
them in that office. It's too important. Ted Cruz explained
it really well why this is happening too, Because if
they can push Donald Trump far enough with these petty
little rule trains changes back and forth over and over,
and he finally just just had enough and pounds his
fists on the table and said debates off, then Harris
can run out and get in front of the cameras

(15:07):
and they'll be there and she can say, well, let
me freeze that. She can rush out and read that
Trump wouldn't debate her, as though that was some sort
of victory. Why does she need notes if she is
going to run the United States, She's already been vice
president for almost four years. She should know what's going on.

(15:29):
But maybe not. Maybe not in breaking news. Actually it happened.
The story I saw was from today, But I think
they were just kind of getting their ducks in a
road to get it right. A Hon Duran Man on
Texas most Wanted, the ten most wanted list in all
of Texas, which is a pretty big state full of
a whole lot of people. Han Duran Man was arrested

(15:52):
in Houston, Oh great twenty year old is suspected and
wanted for alleged sexual assault of a child younger than fourteen.
That something like that happened not that long ago, right
here in this city. And the two men arrested are
charged also with that little girl's murder. Innocent until proven guilty,

(16:16):
but holy count. And now one of the men who's
charged in that kid, the Nungaray case, his attorneys saying
there's no way he can get a fair shake around here. Okay,
move him somewhere else and just present the facts. Just
present the facts wherever you want to. That would be
fine with me. It's just so frustrating. It's just staggering.

(16:39):
They caught this guy by the way four days ago. Staggering, honestly,
that so many horrible people have been led into this
country in the past three and a half years, and
frankly given so much more, so much more, despite their
unlawful entry, despite their criminal backgrounds which we don't really
look into anymore. Despite all of that, they get tons

(17:01):
more than our own nations veterans and poorest citizens. Remember
that in November. Just remember remember in November. That's gonna
be my new little catchphrase. I think all I've only
got thirty seconds left, looking at the clock on the
wall that finally is here. Think you will you? I'm
using it right, It's gonna work for us. I'll go

(17:24):
back to get a clue. I'll throw in cloudy with
a chance of terrifying. And also, do not disturb pick one,
Oh gotta go, we're running out of time. Disturbed too late, No,
too late, now I'm not gonna be the one late.
You're gonna blame me for it. Do a little deflection

(17:45):
of your own huh on the way out on time.

What's life without a net? I suggest to go to bed,
sleep it off.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Just wait until this show's over.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Sleepy.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
All, welcome back, thanks to listening to fifty plus on
this I don't know. We're in the little studio again.
We can't see outside. I'm gonna guess it's partly cloudy. Still, uh,
thanks for listening. In this segment, we're gonna talk about
something I routinely try to do on the rare occasions
I do get to little take a little time from work,
and that is to visit really cool, fun places when

(19:57):
they're not crowded. I'm not a fan of crowd and
to explain why, that's a good idea. I'm going to
welcome in Steve Gilde, director of travel at AARP Services,
Welcome onboard, Steve.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Oh my pleasure. So the pitch I got from our
buddy Justin talks about pretty substantial savings often for just
moving to vacation schedule a couple or three weeks in
one direction or another. Is that pretty much true across
the board?

Speaker 4 (20:24):
It pretty much is. You're always going to have the outliers. Sure,
given a specific destination. If it's the fall festival and
the town you're headed too, that's going to influence rates.
If there's a college football game, all these things matter,
of course, however, directionally, as you just mentioned, not only
is traveling this time of year, let's call it the

(20:44):
shoulder season. As you hear in the industry off season,
maybe in more day to day conversations, travel this time
of year, fall through the winter, accepting the holidays. Just
like you said, fewer crowds. That makes a big difference.
That restaurant you've been wanting to try, Maybe easier to
get a reservation at seeing you want to check out

(21:05):
more elbow room. Not a bad thing, but on top
of that, if you can save some money, that sounds
pretty good.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
How long are peak seasons, Let's say at summertime resorts,
do they parallel the school schedule, basically family vacation.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
I really think, I really think that's an easy way
to keep it in mind. Yeah, if you can think
about post Labor Day up through Thanksgiving and then maybe
back in between Thanksgiving and the winter holiday seasons, those
are your money saving opportunities. I would really advise listeners to,
of course think about where you're going to go and

(21:39):
make sure you're not going during some specific big event.
But if you're willing to be geographically flexible, if you're
willing to, as you pose the question to me, move
your vacation by a couple of weeks, you can really
add up the savings. I'm here from AARP OUR members
can save a tremendous amount cruises, Holland America, Hotel, Tells,

(22:01):
Choice Hotels, Windham Hotels. If you're taking a road trip,
who doesn't love a fall road trip? Right Davis Budget
Group our members can save up to thirty five percent
on their kail. These things really add up over time.
So if you're adding them together plus going out a
time of year that's a little less expensive right out
of the gate. That's a good way to save and

(22:22):
stretch your dollar this time of year.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
An easy way to look at it, I think for
me would be if if I'm willing to invest X
in a vacation, and I can say thirty percent of
X just by going three weeks later or three weeks
earlier than the main season, I might be able to
do something else. I might be able to take that
hang glider rider, I might be able to do that
hip line, whatever crazy stupid thing I might do.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Right well, I mean, this is the chance to do
those crazy things. And you know, travel has really bounced
back in the last couple of years. You've seen the
headlines Europe is I'm doing air quotes on my here
full this time of year, that starts to change. You
have a little bit more room to yourself. The flights
are still going to be full, but they're going to

(23:08):
be perhaps a little less expensive. The towns are still
going to be busy, but they're not going to be
quite so busy. And if it's twenty degrees cooler than
it was a couple of months ago, I say that's
not a bad thing either.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Definitely not. Yeah, I think the only place where cold
would really matter would be at a ski resort. And
to flip that one around, I have been blessed in
my career and over the years, I've done a couple
of trips up to ski resorts in the dead of
hot summer in Houston. But it's embarrassingly comfortable in Colorado

(23:42):
or Utah. And I'd go up there to a fish
and play golf and mountain bike and on real mountains,
and even did remote broadcast from up there, and you
kind of have the place to yourself almost.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
It's pretty amazing if you're willing to flip the narrative
on your destination and say, well, the islands in the
Caribbean are going to be very popular between Thanksgiving and Christmas,
all right, So maybe you don't choose that, But if
you think about, well, what isn't popular this time of year,

(24:16):
and can I go explore and can I take that
road trip? This is the time of year and the
time in life to add a day to the trip
and just wander and see what you encounter and talk
to locals and find a restaurant that you aren't seeing
in the visitor's guide, but you stumble into that's the
beauty of travel, and this is a great time in

(24:37):
life to do it, a great time of the year
to do it.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
For places Steve Steve gildet with aarp with year today
on fifty plus. For places that are are most often visited,
I would think for their their architects, say like a
Rome or or something specific to Paris. Somebody wants to
see the Eiffel Tower. The whole year is really okay.

(24:59):
You just have to figure out when that off season
is in that place to get it right. You still
get to see the same Parthenon, you still get to
see the same Colisseum. It's just in a different season
for a lot less money.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Correct and think that the information at your fingertips that
didn't exist on making this up twenty five years ago,
or wasn't as prolific twenty five years ago. Sure you
can look at the weather patterns for all right, Well,
I want to go to Rome and I want to
go the second week in October? What specifical weather like that.
We have so much data as consumers at our fingertips. True,

(25:33):
you can really add those things together. You can layer
on what's the price of the trip that time of year.
And then a tip for listeners that I'm a big
fan of is to go shopping in your wallet. See
what you're a member of again, AARP members. It's very
affordable to join AARP if you use your discounts on

(25:53):
one road trip or international trip, more than going to
pay for your membership. But take a look at but
credit cards also exist that you already have. Are there
cash back deals? Are there points you can cash in?
How can you add on to something you're already doing.
Think about the time of year, you think about your
ARP discount, think about your credit card awards. This all

(26:16):
starts to add up to a pretty big savings.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
You know as well as anybody I've ever talked to
about where the most popular place? Focus on domestic right now,
what are one or two places that a lot of
people probably haven't been but are likely to really enjoy
if they go.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
So depending on what your appetite for, you know, a
big long road trip is okay, I think we've all seen,
you know, New England this time of year is stunning.
At the end of the fall, the weather cools, humidity drops.
I mean picture, Let's say you rent a convertible from
eavi's budget, using your ARP discount, stay at a choice

(26:55):
hotel and you're getting ten percent off it, and you
pop the top of that convertible and go for a
leaf viewing trip up through the mountains in New England.
That's pretty incredible, you know that. So that's a that's
a big destination in the fall. Sure, but again you
have to be thoughtful about it, because make sure that
all right, well it is at the fall festival in

(27:16):
town I'm going to and is that going to influence
the price I'm about the book? The other thing is
to think about what the again I'm doing air quotes
here on my end, Sure, what are the what are
the caveats at that rate? Is what you're booking refundable?
Should you be thinking about travel insurance if it's not refundable?
Are you going to pay extra to choose your seat

(27:38):
on the plane? Is the first bag you bring on free?
Make sure that you know what you're booking so you're
not just booking the cheapest thing and then being surprised
when you go to check in. So points thoughtful about it.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
I hate to do it, but I'm gonna wrap this
in quotes we gotta go out of time. I'm so
I'm so sorry, but I may kind of bring this
back up again a couple of months down the road
and see if we can find a couple of fun
international places where a lot of us haven't been yet.
Steve Gildney from the America or the AARP. Yeah, and

(28:10):
that boy, you're director of travel. That tells me you've
been around a little bit. I want to pick your
brain again sometime. Thank you, Steve, appreciate it. Uh you too, boy.
By all right, Bronze Roofing, if you're at home around
here and it starts to rain and you don't want
to see drops coming in the house, and get Bronze
Roofing to come out and make sure your roof is
doing the job it's supposed to do. And a good

(28:32):
roof will last you a long time if you get
it checked out, if you make sure it's not getting
developing a little problem that could eventually become a really
big problem. And that's what Bronze will do first for you.
They'll come out for no charge whatsoever. They will inspect
that entire roof right there, eyes on it. No drones
up in the air right now. I don't believe he's
ever gonna use drones. He likes to be there. He

(28:54):
likes to be on the roof looking at what's going
on until the technology gets a little bit more comfortable
for him. Skeeter's gonna send somebody there if they find
something that's wrong with your roof, they're gonna come down
from the ladder. They're gonna show you pictures of the problem,
and they're gonna explain exactly what it's gonna take to
fix it, what materials they'll use, how long it's gonna take,

(29:15):
and how much it's gonna cost. Smart answer, then, is
gonna be get started because you can. You can spend
all the time you want trying to do better, but
you're not gonna find better work for a good price.
You're not gonna find a fairer price for the work
they're gonna do. That's been my experience for many, many

(29:37):
years now with Bronze Roofing. They help with my mom's
roof years ago, they help with my mother in law's roof.
All a couple of neighbors are using them now. I've
used them for I don't know how many years. It's been.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Old guys rule, and of course women never get old.
If you want to avoid sleeping on the couch.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Okay, well I think that sounds like a good plan.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Fifty plus continues.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Here's more with Doug.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Welcome back, final segment of the program today. Thank you
for listening, Thank you for sharing your lunch. Well, you
know we could we need to find a lunch sponsor,
will you know that? Wouldn't that be nice? Let's have
a little something something dropped off every day about I
don't know, twelve fifty nine still be warm when we
got out of here.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
I feel like we've talked about this before.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
We have, and it's gotten us nowhere. Unfortunately. Maybe that's okay,
that's okay. We have a nice place to grab lunch
right next door, and I have snack bars available all
the time. Stepping entirely out of politics for a moment,
archaeologists are quite certain that they have identified and you

(31:10):
can actually stand right there the room, the very room
in which Jesus held the Last Supper. It's on Mount
Zion in the Old City of Jerusalem, a second floor
room in a structure that still stands today and is
the spitting image of its depiction in history. I love history.

(31:34):
I inherited that from my father. He was a history
major at Tulane University. I'm not sure what that got him,
except into the oil business in Louisiana first, and then
here and then back four years back to New Orleans
while we actually lived in Metai, then close enough that
I could ride my bicycle a lake pontre train. I
my little fish loving buddies. We'd go down there with

(31:58):
our little mister champ spoon and catch speckled trout when
we got lucky. In slow postal service news, you're ready
for this, We'll guess when this postcard was originally mail
This is from over in Great Britain, so it's not
a knock on the US postal service, although that would
be easy to find these days. What approximately how many

(32:23):
years ago was this postcard dropped into a mailbox somewhere
and only recently discovered again.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
I don't know much. Twenty years.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Well, you're close, you're only off by one hundred and one,
one hundred and twenty one years ago, some guy where's
his name now? I don't even know if I have
his name. Miss Lydia Davies was the address. See and
the reappearance suddenly of this postcard caught the attention of

(33:01):
the Royal Mail. That sounds pretty fancy, doesn't it? Probably
not any better than ours, which is attempting now to
find descendants of miss Davies. Who might care that. Oh,
here's his name? I remember now, Ewart Ewart, a derivative
of Edward. He was the sender, and he wanted to
let Miss Davies know that he was all right. He

(33:22):
had ten pence in his pocket, not including train fair,
and he wanted to send his regards along with not
only to her, but to two other people. You'll never say,
never that they've actually identified miss Lydia Davies's father, but

(33:43):
are still trying to find later descendants from the family.
So who knows. Maybe they could take the card and
put it in a frame or something. I don't know
what they would do with it. Honestly, one hundred and
twenty one years ago, that's quite a few generations back.
I can't I can't think of really, Well, my mother
and my father actually traced our genealogy quite far back,

(34:07):
so I bet you I could come up with a
couple of relatives names from that far back. If you
haven't heard of the Digital Services Act, I strongly recommend
that you look it up. It's a European law. It's
a European law, thank goodness for now at least, and
it's being used to stifle free speech in a way
that should concern us all. Most recently, the owner of

(34:30):
a social media platform over there was arrested based on
the content that other people were putting at his site.
Now this wasn't I'm not even sure what the content was,
but the story I saw, the author of that story
likened this man's situation to the CEO of AT and

(34:51):
T being arrested because organized criminals did their business on telephones.
That worth a look. It's worth a look. Look up,
look up Digital Services Act and read about it a
little bit. And in one case, several years ago, one
of the former people who ran for president on the

(35:13):
Democrat ticket saw something that that person didn't like going
on over in Europe and got on the horn and
asked them to him to act up with that Digital
Services Act and shut it down. I don't know that
they did or didn't. Tim Walls, by the way, Democrat

(35:36):
candidate for VP, is racking up a significant number of
mistruths that I finally saw challenged in a story at
USA Today, no Less claimed his family was formed by
IVF and that JD. Vance is the President Trump's nominee
is against IVF. Both statements are false straight up. When

(35:58):
when Walls ran for COMM he said he received an
award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, Nebraska Chamber of
Commerce says that didn't happen. And the whole military service thing,
and is saying he was he retired as a command
sergeant major. That had to be modified after the uproar
that him saying that caused anybody who served our country.

(36:21):
I'm all for it, and I appreciate him for doing that,
But just tell it like it is, tell it straight up.
All right, Well, you've got time to make one more choice.
Make it a good one, Cloudy with a chance of terrifying.
What is this? Or good for her? What is this?
I'm so glad you asked. There's a new app called

(36:44):
eye Chat that's kind of like it says shot true
chat roulette, that's why that's the present pronunciation, but only
shows your eyes. What will is chat roulette? Do you know?

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Chat Roulette is a website where you essentially match with
a random person on a video call.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
You don't even know who it is. No, you just
spin the wheel. Okay, check out let. It's mostly well,
I could probably be called one of those. I could
call it wheel of misfortune. Probably you all right, We'll
be back tomorrow. Thanks for listening. More to come. Thanks
for listening to fifty plus audios
