Speaker 6 (02:23):
All Right, here we go for Thursday's edition. One week
from Thanksgiving. If you'll be celebrating, or if not, it's
still going to be Thanksgiving Day, whether you eat turkey,
whether you eat ham, whether you eat anything that day.
It's my last before the holidays too. I have Fridays
off up until next week, and actually I'm out all
(02:44):
of next week because I am taking vacation and I
think I have enough days will that I could take
December off and still fall within my allocation of hours
to take away from here. I won't do that to you, though, will. Oh,
it's because I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I know you'd be lonely. You'd miss me, you know
you would you think so say it? You know you would,
I would maybe, I see, we'll see, We'll see how
how next week goes. Yeah, let's do that. Let's see
how next week goes and see if you can handle yourself.
Feel free. Just come in here and do a whole
(03:24):
hour life if you want to see how it, Just
see how it plays out. Are you serious? No? I
don't have that.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Well, I be fine with me, but I don't have that.
I don't make that call. I'm a filling host. It's
so above my pay grade. Not yet, I didn't hear it.
I didn't hear anything about that. I mean, this could
be you know, it could be your break, could uh,
you know, ask for forgiveness later. Yeah, you could see
how that works out for you. You just see how
(03:52):
that works out. That's all right. So anyway, if you
haven't been outside yet, it's get there. It's gorgeous, it's cool,
it's truly autumn like. And we've got a bunch more
pretty much across the entire state too, and we got
lots more of that coming up until well next week.
(04:13):
I'll tell you about that in a second. By the way,
I will be so you won't think I'm just gonna
be sitting around twiddling my thumbs next week. I have
managed to squeeze into that short week sack a duck hunt,
at least one round of golf and possibly two, and
then of course all kinds of stuff on Thanksgiving with
(04:36):
friends and family, and not all of them will be
participating in those other events. In fact, uh, nope, nobody's
on the list for the duck hunt, well except for
my son, and my son is family, so he counts.
So we're going We're gonna do a duck hunt downn
ol Campo with a very old family friend and his grandson,
(04:57):
and I look forward to it's gonna be a lot.
We're going back down to Waterfowl Specialties. That's Mitchell Holder's
place down there, and I really like the proximity to Houston.
It's an easy down and back. I like everything he
does down there. If you're thinking about something like that,
either email me or just look them up. It's Waterfowl Specialties.
(05:19):
Uh quick, stroll now over to today's highs and low's
and Highku. Thank you Texas Indoor Air Quality Specialists. Just
I'll pound two fifty say healthy air, and then wait
until somebody picks up the phone, and that person, whomever
it may be, we'll be able to tell you all
that they do to get the duct work in your
house cleaned and not torn up and to a point
(05:43):
where it will be like new and be blowing nothing
but pure air for years to come. You ready, will?
I am? Fall is upon us until Monday's eighty three? Short,
but sweet enjoy man, that's so disappointing. Really eighty three
(06:05):
on Monday? Yes, and it's not my work that's disappointing.
Just yeah, eighty three for a hot Yeah, it's a
sad reality, just another summer in November day, barely even November.
We're on the way. I mean, we're just rolling off
the back end of the tail of November. Sometimes it's
hard not to rate your haikup's load just because I
(06:28):
hate the prediction. Yeah, you're picking on me. You're ignoring
the creativity involved, the time it takes to put these together,
just because you don't like what it says. It makes
me mad. Well, I can see why that would bring
the score down. All right. Well, so keeping that in mind,
(06:48):
will and give it what it really deserves. For creativity,
for timeliness. Well, I don't want to leave on a
bad note. Since you're gonna be gone, I can take it.
I'll forget all about you once I start playing golf
in good duck Huntiness. I'm going live on Monday, that's
for sure, all right. I'll give this one a seven.
(07:11):
I'll call in. It's a seven, a seven, Thank you
very much, Will, I'll call in. You want me to
drop a good word about Monday? Yeah, maybe we'll see
how that goes. Holy cow. So anyway, easing into the
markets will go there as well, Houston Gooldexchange dot com
courtesy there up. Thank you very much, Houston, gooldexchange dot
(07:31):
com in brench Weiss. He's actually he's put together a
really nice package for the Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital
golf tournament we host every year around here. We set
a very optimistic goal and we are very close to
that goal. And when we come back from this segment,
I'm going to tell you where we are, and I'm
(07:51):
hoping some of you will join us so that we
can reach that goal where we're really really close, like
not a whole lot of teams left, only a couple
of sponsorships left. And I would love it if somebody
in this audience, or somebody who knows somebody who can
do it, can can get us over the top on
(08:11):
this thing so that I can go out there on
that Monday morning, December ninth and just cheer out loud
that we hit our goal all the way back even
before Thanksgiving. That's what I'm aiming for.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
It won't take a lot. This tournament is not inexpensive
to play, and I'll tell you that and I'll give
you the details when we get back. But what it
does is it it helps pretty much the sickest children
and their families in the world that the sickest kids
end up at Saint Jude's, and to make that process
(08:46):
easier for the entire family, they don't pay for anything.
There's not even a patient billing department at Saint Jude Hospital,
which on the tour I got years ago, just really
really set it all for me. They are so focused
on in kids, they don't worry about the money. That's
that's for me and you and anybody else who wants
to help them to take care of all.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Right.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
So anyway, I was gonna get to the markets and
that would be three out of four in the green early. Yeah,
about two hours ago. As last I looked. Oil also up. Unfortunately,
oil bad back north of seventy bucks a barrel, and
there's no reason for it unless you count world tension,
(09:28):
and we might get into that in a little while.
Gold still climbing too, which is good, up almost nineteen
dollars and ounce at twenty six seventy. So that's that.
I'll get to the Saint Jude tournament when we get back.
In the meantime, I'm gonna encourage you to consider on
December fifth through the seventh, can still be back in
(09:50):
time to play in the tournament on the ninth. A
trip to Alpine, now that's a pretty good drive, and
they'll they'll be the first ones to tell you it's
gonna take you two people a long time to drive
straight through. Or you could stop in Fredericksburg or maybe
San Antonio and make make it just a fun, longer
trip of it. That Thursday, out in Alpine, beautiful town
(10:13):
out there in the Big Bend, they are gonna encourage
you to stroll through the shops of Murphy Street and
Holland Avenue. It's kind of what they call a wastle crawl.
All of those businesses in there have their own special
recipe for wassle and they want you to try every
one of them. And then on Friday they have a
nice concert that will cap a day of other activities
(10:36):
kind of all around town. Really, they're all they're all
dressed up and ready to go for you and anybody
else who wants to go out there. And of course
on Saturday, they offer a beautiful tour, if you will,
of historic adobe homes decorated for the season. It's they
call it Alpines Adobe Trail. Beautiful architecture, something you won't
(10:57):
see much of around here, that's for sure. Free star
gazing every night under one of the darkest skies in
all of North America. So instead of seeing eight or
ten stars like you do around here, you might see
fifty or one hundred thousand stars if you were to
really stop and try to count them. Alpine, Texas, that's
where it's all happening. Go to Historicalpine dot org. That's
(11:21):

box in the middle of the.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Back to Doug Pike as fifty plus continues.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Segment two of fifty plus. This Thursday afternoon and a
bright and sunny one at that will. Were you surprised
by the temperature this morning? I wasn't suprime.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Yeah, you knew it was coming because I told you
you did, which means that honestly Monday score, which originally
a five, I told you on Thursday Wednesday by said
on thursdayday, if the Wednesday and Thursday were good, then
(13:17):
it would go up by a point for each day.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
So it's now a seven. That's pretty good. So this
makes this a pretty good week. Actually, yeah, that that
that boost there, those extra points earned credits if you will. Yeah,
that's pretty good. Will thank you very much, look very much. Oh,
somebody just texted me, let me see how important this is.
Uh huh that's good. Oh good, good, good good good.
(13:42):
Uh that Actually that was my buddy Kobe Gallic from
Kobe Stevens dot com, the golf duds people, the golf
attire people, and he just jumped in and grabbed a team,
which is good news for anybody and everybody who is
associated with that tournament. As am I this year taking
on a larger role, and because of that, when I
(14:06):
got in there, I thought, you know, I asked, Okay,
what's a goal this year? They told me the goal.
I said, oh, we can do better than that. We
can do better. And I'm and we're getting We're not
down to the wire yet. It's still not even Thanksgiving
and the event is December nine up at Golf Club
of Houston. We are going to fill both courses. I
have no question in my mind that we're going.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
To do that.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
And we only have a little bit of room left.
And I would love it if somebody, anybody, maybe a
few of you, could join us up there and by
joining us, I mean, either go ahead and grab a
team or if you're if you're really concerned with the
welfare of extremely sick children. Saint Jude over its over
(14:47):
its time. It started back in the nineteen sixties by
Danny Thomas and a lot of people in this most
everybody in this audience knows who that was. And Danny
Thomas set about to do something. It's it's a long
story as to how got started, but it's an amazing
story as well. A promise he made to God basically
that he was gonna get these kids made whole again.
(15:09):
All of these kids, the most sick children in the
country and in the world now really and what's come
of that is this amazing hospital campus in Memphis where
nobody who's admitted, no child who's admitted, nor anybody in
their family, pays anything for transportation, for food, for housing,
(15:30):
for all the medical care they get everything. Another thing
that was very interesting when I went over there on
a tour was that the big giant eating area, the
monstrous cafeteria, if you will, is shared by everybody, not
just patients. It's you might you might have a patient
(15:52):
with a child sitting in a little red wagon, eating
a cheeseburger or a grilled cheese sandwich, sitting right next
to a neurosurgeon, a pediatric neurosurgeon, and everybody's in there.
They're all treated equally, no matter who they are, where
they came from. And it's just a fascinating thing. And
it costs a lot of money to keep that going.
(16:13):
And by the way, all the research they do there,
everything they've done, that's pretty much tripled the rate of
surviving pediatric cancers in this country. All of that gets
shared with any other provider or hospital or clinic in
the entire world that needs that information. They don't charge
them a dime. They just here, you go, this is
what we figured out how to cure this crazy pediaticatric cancer.
(16:38):
And the information is yours. Go treat some more kids.
So here's the deal. It's not an inexpensive tournament. Like
I mentioned before, and I asked Matt Thomas to make
a little mention of it earlier today. Hopefully he has
by now. It's five thousand dollars a team. Okay, but
for that five grand, first of all, you're going a
long ways towards saving a kid with cancer. Thank you
(17:00):
for that and you'll get an incredible goodie bag. It's
a four person team, you get a great goodie bag,
you get five star breakfast and five star lunch. Well,
it'll be later than lunch when we finish, but it's
not that bad. We keep the thing moving, We have
a lot of fun. We're not going to bug you
out on the golf course for money. It's just if
(17:22):
you can come in and help us with a couple
of teams, one team. Throw your hat in the ring
to be put on a team. I don't know a
lot of people have done that in years past. Two
we had. The last four years have been tough. I
understand that, but after the fifth of November were a
lot of us are looking forward to a little more prosperity,
(17:42):
a little bit more of our own money in our
own pockets. And if you're if you're the boss of
your company, wonderful. This is an opportunity to make a
tremendous donation to an incredible cause. If you're not the boss,
go talk to your boss, say hey, I would I
would like somehow for our need to get involved in this.
What can we do? And I'm literally there are only
(18:05):
I think nine teams left for the entire event. We're
filling up both courses at Golf Club of Houston. We
have every year since we've been going there. It's just
not a problem, and I don't want it to be
a problem this year either. I gave the guy who
handed me the reins, looked me in the eye and said,
take good care of this tournament. And that's exactly what
I'm trying to do. I ray. It was me who
(18:28):
raised the ante, me who raised not the prices, but
who raised the goal. And I intend to hit that
goal one way or the other. And with your help,
it won't be hard, it really won't. I know that's
a lot to ask right around the holidays. But for
all of these kids who are over there, and I
got to meet some of them, I got to see
(18:48):
how that hospital works. I got to see the smiles,
not only on the kids' faces. They're just innocence and
sometimes they hurt, sometimes they don't, but the parents they
all look so optimistic walking around there. It's just amazing.
It's an amazing facility doing miraculous work. And I'm not
gonna go into all the long stories that I heard
(19:10):
while I was over there about unbelievable things they've done.
We just know that it is the real deal. They're
gonna use the money they get to cure pediatric cancers,
not for anything else, but just basically to keep the
lights on and cure pediatric cancer. If you want to
know more about it, or if you want to get
get on board, I can. I can share almost everything
(19:33):
you need to know with you. Just shoot me an email.
Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. It's so simple, Doug
Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. I really would love to
see you guys out there, And if you jump on
this week and I find out about it, I'll find
some way to especially thank you while we're out at
the tournament. Okay, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
(19:54):
One word or the other, it's gonna be a whole
lot of fun. It always is. Doug Pike at iHeartMedia
dot Com. Just put in the subject line Saint Jude
and I will I will answer those emails first, I
promise you this afternoon. All right, go Lee, we're down
to one minute. That was well, it wasn't all that quick.
I subtled. I got a lot said do you think
I do you think I made a good pitch. Well,
(20:15):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
You want a.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Team if you could, If you could, if you owned
a business that was doing better since the election, it
looked like you could forecast a really good next year.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Would you do it? If I could win? That depends
on the team you bring. I have a team, but
I'm not gonna stack it. I'm really not. I could,
I could. I could make a phone call and get
some pretty good professional golfers on my team. But it
is handicap so you can't really fudge that way. You
can't bring out three PGA Tour players and you and
(20:49):
probably you probably couldn't win the tournament because their handicaps
would cause you to have to add strokes to your score,
not take them off. It doesn't matter. It's fun. It's
a whole lot of fun. You get a really cool
gift bag. Believe me, I've been part of that too,
And there's some things that I will allow to gift
bags that are just duds, and some things that I say, yeah,
(21:10):
we really need to have that in there. My buddy
Kobe Gallick came over, like I said earlier, from Kobe
Stevens dot com and bought a team today. He bought
a team today, so there's one less team available. But please,
if you can, somehow, some way do this. Okay. A
Late Health is the well. They're actually clinics around town.
(21:32):
It's not the clinic. It's a collective of clinics around
town that do vascular procedures. And the most popular one
they do, the one they do most often is prostate
artery embolization. Prostate artery embolization goes in and it identifies
the artery that is feeding a pesky prostate, an enlarged one,
(21:54):
and if you have one, you know what the symptoms are,
and you know you hate them. If you have one
of those things. They go in and they plug up
that artery. I don't know whether they use Elmer's glue.
I don't know whether they use duct tape. I don't
care how they do it. They do it, and by
the way, it's not either of those things. I can
assure you that. But whatever they do, they stop the
(22:17):
blood flow of that prostate and it starts to shrivel up.
It'd be like us being deprived of oxygen. We'd start
to shrivel up and die. And that's what happens, is
that prostate. But you keep on going and you're kicking
your heels, you're happy in a very short amount of time.
Usually what they do for that, or for fibroids, for
(22:37):
ugly veins, in some cases, even for head pain that
can be leieved by plugging up a little teeny tiny
hair fine artery. They can do that. All these little
tiny little vessels and veins and arteries and capillaries, they
can plug them up if they're causing problems and lets
you start kicking your heels up and living a better life.
(22:58):
Most of what they do covered Medicare and Medicaid. They
also do regenerative medicine two, which is so good for
chronic pain. Get out of pain, get rid of those symptoms.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Eight Aged to Perfection. This is fifty plus with Dougpike Way, God,
will you there?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Testing one to two? Will are you there?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You're so far away? What are you like?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Sick?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Five feet away? Maybe maybe I could make that putt
from here to your head. I could roll that in
about probably eight out of ten times, maybe nine maybe
nine if you let me just kind of groove it
for a minute, get the stroke down. My putting has
it used to be, without fail, without question, the strongest.
(23:59):
That was my strongest club in the entire back my putter,
I could bail myself out of trouble. And for the
last few weeks, and I don't know what it is now,
I have been playing different courses, so maybe that's part
of it. For the last several weeks I've just had
I don't feel confident as I used to. The hole
used to look as big as a peach basket to me,
and that looks like a thimble. So is what it is?
(24:22):
I'll be okay. Kobe Stevens from Kobe Gallic from Kobe
Stevens dot Com stopped by here just a little while
ago and dropped me off a little care package and
I am. I'm thrilled. You'll probably next time you see
me on a golf course somewhere, a good chance I'll
be wearing some of that. So back to where we
were a lot of the volatile volatility in the world
(24:45):
right now is focused on Ukraine and Russia, where Russia
just retaliated for Ukraine launching US built missiles approved by
President Biden. He launched these missiles deep into Russia, and
the Kremlin responded by fire and back missiles that included
at least one So, okay, here comes the shot across
(25:08):
the bow, just to let you know what's going on.
One of them that didn't carry a nuclear warhead, but
is capable of being fitted with one. That's pretty scary.
We're still, what for eight nine, nine and a half,
ten weeks from inaugurating President Trump for his second term,
and I hope he's already in contact. I'm sure he
(25:30):
is contact with a handful of people who can lay
a maybe a calming blanket over this potential beginning of
a third World war, which none of us wants. We
would be we would be kind of protected from it
for a little while, because the shorter distance of flights
between between Russia and some of our NATO partners over
(25:53):
there would make them I think, higher priority targets. Although
who knows who's in this count right now? Good heavens,
we have no idea. We have no idea who's in here.
Just this week, the FBI arrested another guy. Rested this
guy he was His name is Harun abdulh Ma leak
you there, and he was arrested this week for allegedly
(26:17):
plotting to plant a bomb and blow up a big
chump of chunk, not a chump, a big chunk of
the New York Stock Exchange. The FBI has been watching
him since February. It kind of honestly, it makes you want,
First of all, thank god they've got eyes on at
least these people, and I'm sure lots more who who
(26:38):
show a propensity for trying to blow things up. Maybe
at least they got them. But you just don't know
how many are here. We just don't know how many
of them are here. And that's what frightens me the most.
They last four years, what is it, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve to fifteen million people and they don't know where
(26:59):
half of them are. They don't know what more than
half of them probably are capable of. It's very frightening.
Will let's put you to work. Do you want share
and share a like? Do you want going bananas? Or
do you want not exactly a compliment? Not exactly a compliment?
(27:21):
That's an interesting one according to a study, And that's
all it says. When it says full story here full
click here for full story. Whatever. I don't do that
because if somebody is interested enough, they'll do it on
their own. But here it is according to a study
self driving cars. I want you to react to this
(27:42):
with true or false? Will self driving cars are actually safer?
True or false? False? I would have to agree with you.
But according to this survey, this study, not a survey
of study, self driving cars are safer. And remember how
I headed this not exactly a compliment because there's a
(28:06):
little dot dot dot after they're safer. Accept And here
it comes except at dawn, except at dusk or when turning?
What is this with my friend? So at rush hour? Dude,
I don't look at me. I have absolutely no idea. Yeah,
(28:27):
well yeah, there's rush hour, both rush hours, early and
late in the day, and then anytime you turn, and
why it would be so so dreadfully dangerous when it's turning,
I don't know. But that just that just pushes me
farther and farther away from a self driving car. I
have no interest whatsoever. Do you would you buy one?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Now?
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Would you take one if somebody gave it to you? No?
I wouldn't either, Honestly, I don't want a self driving car, Okay,
I want one that just it just has safety features. Now,
it's it's perfectly welcome to warn me if something's going
on around me that I need to know about. That's fine,
that's great, Okay, it's perfectly I don't have a problem
(29:14):
with that lane assist stuff where if you start to
swerve out of a lane, it's gonna kind of nudge
your or kind of shake the steering wheel or something.
I agree. I think that's really good. That's the yeah.
On my car, I have that stuff now, which is great.
I love on my side mirrors the yeah oh yeah,
(29:35):
it tells you somebody's coming telling them. Yeah. Mine has
a black uh kind of a blind spot on the
on the left hand side. If you just kind of
turn around, there's there's the the stuff between the doors,
and then it's such an an acute angle that you
really don't have a lot of view, just kind of
are peeking into the mirror. Especially you've got one of
(29:56):
those mirrors where everything's closer than it looks on the
other side, and then you got this one where it's
right where it shows you, but there's a blind spot
where it won't show you, and so, yeah, I'm glad
to have that little I think there's three lights over there,
three orange lights that let me know something's pretty close.
Remember that banana we talked about earlier in the week
that was going to go up for auction, Yes, sell
(30:17):
for a million to a million five something crazy like that.
Just what it sold for. It did sell, not even
the original banana, not the original duct tape, all of
which would have been rotted away by now. But anyway,
the new one, the fancy new one, just sold for
what will five hundred thousand. Couldn't even get the peel
(30:39):
for that six point two million dollars? Will to own
something that you and I can go. We could go
to HB this afternoon and then swing by home depot
on the way home, and we could create within one
hour at that price, probably close to one hundred and
(31:01):
fifty million dollars worth of art. Would you agree we
just go buy one hundred bananas, oh, just to hunt.
Think of this, one hundred bananas will and we tape
them to the wall. We have just made six hundred
and twenty million dollars. All we need is buyers. We've
(31:23):
set ourselves up for success. Do we have to go.
We got I guess we did, all right. I want
to set Bronze Roofing up for a little more success.
Brown's Roofing has been around for thirty plus years. They're
gonna be here tomorrow too, because Skeeter Braun has been
doing the same thing for thirty plus years, just with
different crews and different materials, all of which are extremely
good and superior in many cases to anything else that's
(31:45):
out there. The bottom line is his his business motto
over this entire time is quality work at a fair price.
That's what you're gonna get when you get them out
there for an inspection, which costs you nothing. That the
fair price for an inspection from Bronze Roofing zero dollars,
and usually they'll do that within twenty four hours. Good
(32:06):
roof can last you a long time, but you need
to get it up there, get somebody up there to
check it for you, somebody who knows what they're looking
for and where to find it. They found things on
my roof a while back then. I would have had
absolutely no idea we're there, and would have no idea
that would have been problematic. But they found them. They
came down, said Okay, here's what it's going to take
time wise to fix it. We have the stuff on
(32:28):
the truck. Here's what it's going to cost. And I said, yeah,
go do it be done. Be done with that repair,
and they were, and the roof's been fine. Bronze Roofing
going to be there within twenty four hours. If there's
a problem, they're going to fix it, whether that's a
tiny little repair or completely new roof. Maybe you've been
just kind of milking that roof of years for many, many,
(32:49):
many many years beyond its real true life, and it's
time and they'll take care of you that way too.

Hell, I think that sounds like a good plan. Fifty
plus continues. Here's more with Doug. All right, boys, and
final segment of the program starts right now. I'm Doug.
He's Will, and together we sit around here and do
an hour or hours worth of well, I think what
(34:51):
I feel anyway, are, especially this time of year, kind
of conversation starters or if you are in the mood,
research generators. Yeah, I'll tell you a little bit about
a story. I don't like to go into just in
depth on things. Number one, it takes too much time
and only have one hour, and I don't want to
dwell on any one subject for very long. And number two,
(35:14):
I consider my audience to be plenty smart enough to
go look something up on the giant world Wide Web
as it used to be called, Go look something up
on the Internet that gives them more information about what
I've just talked about. I talked about Campbell's soup changing
its name yesterday. Will knew this. I confess that I
(35:37):
either knew it and had forgotten it, or hadn't really
realized it yet. Brian May, the guitarist from Queen, also
is better educated than you might think. Will. Why don't
you tell him what degree Brian May from Queen holds
and has held even since probably before he picked up
(35:58):
a guitar. Well, no, not before where he picked up
a guitar, but at some point in his life he
earned it. Well, he has a PhD in astrophysics, that's all. Now,
that's that's quite impressive, you must admit. And I'm sure
that when he went and told his parents, you know,
I know, I worked pretty hard to get this PhD
(36:19):
in astrophysics. But I'm kind of thinking about being a
guitar player, Like excuse me, what, Yeah, I'm gonna be
a guitar player. The name of our band, Oh yeah,
it's Queen. Well what does that mean. Well, it's just
you'll just have to hear our music. And you think
that you can make a living being a guitar player, Yeah,
(36:42):
I think so, Dad, I think I can. And the
rest is as they say, his story, his story and
good news. Guy in Mesquite, did I talk about that
Kamaro yesterday? I think I did, didn't I I can't
remember already, you know, I already gave up the I
already gave up the end of the story. Anyway, this
guy in Mesquite surprised his sixty five year old dad
(37:06):
with not just any I think it's a yeah, sixty
seven short block Camaro blue with white racing stripes, chrome wheels,
A real deal. Muscle car. And the bottom line is
that guy had to give up his dream car, which
that was because when he and his wife got together,
shortly after they were married, uh oh, here comes the baby,
(37:28):
and there wasn't enough money really to take care of
that baby. So he sold his car essentially to buy
diapers in formula and milk whatever. And his now very
grown up son went after that car and actually found
not just a blue Camaro with white racing stripes from
sixty seven, but the the original, the same. It was
(37:50):
the car. It was the car, and his dad was
in needless to stay pretty happy about that. Oh we
got time, I'm out of here. It's back, or I'll
go back up to the top of the page, share
and share like ooh, it's back. Guess what's back. You'll
(38:12):
know you should know it, So don't don't joke around.
You gotta get this right. Guess what's back at McDonald's
starting December third, the McRib it is indeed, did you
know that? Or is it just an easy You said
it's an easy. They'll never let it go. McDonald's is celebrating. Boy,
won't this tempt all of us? He said with tongue
(38:34):
in cheek half. You can get a half gallon jug
of McRib sauce, so I guess you can put it
on your blogean cheese sandwich or whatever. You can get
a half gallon jug of this stuff for twenty bucks,
which seems almost like a good deal. You probably can't
buy that much motor oil for that. What do you
(38:55):
think will? Are you gonna buy some McRib sauce? I
don't think I've ever had the McRib. Come on, you've
never had a McRib? No, treat yourself seriously. I'll buy
it if you'll eat it, I'll buy it. I'll give
you five bucks right now, and you when on December third,
you can go buy a McRib, but you have to eat.
You have to bring it into the studio and eat
(39:15):
it while we're on the air. Okay, you can wreaky heat.
You can put it in the microwave. If we get
a new microwave we are Our old one died and
for a few days there was just this hole there
well a piece of paper that said the microwave is broken.
It'll be replaced soon. And then there was a microwave
in there, and I'll oh great, here we go and
(39:36):
the guy who kind of runs over stuff like that
in the office. I said, when did we get the
new microwave? He said, oh, that's the old one. Did
you fix it? No, it's still broken. Just filled the hole,
that's all he did. It's okay. In Switzerland. You ever
been to Switzerland? Well, no, I've been to Sweden, but
not Switzerland. Come news, Here comes news of a Catholic
(39:58):
church there in which you can actually go into a
confessional and share your deepest secrets with an AI generated
version of Jesus. I know that's kind of what I said.
AI Jesus speaks one hundred languages, can answer questions, offer
supporting scripture, and generally do what Well, you know which
(40:24):
I it's a gimmick, okay, and it's a temporary one
at that the church admits that they're not going to
keep it there forever. And I got to wonder just
who thought it would be a really good idea to
do this. That seems like a big old just a
big heap in servant a sacrilege and a dash of pomposity.
And to think that a robot could replace Christianity's Lord
(40:48):
and Savior. Yeah, that goes down a really slippery slope.
And there's even like a holographic image of the only
way we know it that's behind the screen behind the
door there, and you just start talking, go in there,
(41:10):
one hundred languages. I don't like that, I really don't.
Do you will? Do you feel like I do about that?
It's a little, that's a little, that's a little too far.
I'm gonna go talk to Jesus, all right, I'll talk
to you next week. Thanks for listening. Be all here
on the weekend on AM nine or Yeah seven ninety

All Right, here we go for Thursday's edition. One week
from Thanksgiving. If you'll be celebrating, or if not, it's
still going to be Thanksgiving Day, whether you eat turkey,
whether you eat ham, whether you eat anything that day.
It's my last before the holidays too. I have Fridays
off up until next week, and actually I'm out all
(02:44):
of next week because I am taking vacation and I
think I have enough days will that I could take
December off and still fall within my allocation of hours
to take away from here. I won't do that to you, though, will. Oh,
it's because I'm a nice guy.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
I know you'd be lonely. You'd miss me, you know
you would you think so say it? You know you would,
I would maybe, I see, we'll see, We'll see how
how next week goes. Yeah, let's do that. Let's see
how next week goes and see if you can handle yourself.
Feel free. Just come in here and do a whole
(03:24):
hour life if you want to see how it, Just
see how it plays out. Are you serious? No? I
don't have that.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Well, I be fine with me, but I don't have that.
I don't make that call. I'm a filling host. It's
so above my pay grade. Not yet, I didn't hear it.
I didn't hear anything about that. I mean, this could
be you know, it could be your break, could uh,
you know, ask for forgiveness later. Yeah, you could see
how that works out for you. You just see how
(03:52):
that works out. That's all right. So anyway, if you
haven't been outside yet, it's get there. It's gorgeous, it's cool,
it's truly autumn like. And we've got a bunch more
pretty much across the entire state too, and we got
lots more of that coming up until well next week.
(04:13):
I'll tell you about that in a second. By the way,
I will be so you won't think I'm just gonna
be sitting around twiddling my thumbs next week. I have
managed to squeeze into that short week sack a duck hunt,
at least one round of golf and possibly two, and
then of course all kinds of stuff on Thanksgiving with
(04:36):
friends and family, and not all of them will be
participating in those other events. In fact, uh, nope, nobody's
on the list for the duck hunt, well except for
my son, and my son is family, so he counts.
So we're going We're gonna do a duck hunt downn
ol Campo with a very old family friend and his grandson,
(04:57):
and I look forward to it's gonna be a lot.
We're going back down to Waterfowl Specialties. That's Mitchell Holder's
place down there, and I really like the proximity to Houston.
It's an easy down and back. I like everything he
does down there. If you're thinking about something like that,
either email me or just look them up. It's Waterfowl Specialties.
(05:19):
Uh quick, stroll now over to today's highs and low's
and Highku. Thank you Texas Indoor Air Quality Specialists. Just
I'll pound two fifty say healthy air, and then wait
until somebody picks up the phone, and that person, whomever
it may be, we'll be able to tell you all
that they do to get the duct work in your
house cleaned and not torn up and to a point
(05:43):
where it will be like new and be blowing nothing
but pure air for years to come. You ready, will?
I am? Fall is upon us until Monday's eighty three? Short,
but sweet enjoy man, that's so disappointing. Really eighty three
(06:05):
on Monday? Yes, and it's not my work that's disappointing.
Just yeah, eighty three for a hot Yeah, it's a
sad reality, just another summer in November day, barely even November.
We're on the way. I mean, we're just rolling off
the back end of the tail of November. Sometimes it's
hard not to rate your haikup's load just because I
(06:28):
hate the prediction. Yeah, you're picking on me. You're ignoring
the creativity involved, the time it takes to put these together,
just because you don't like what it says. It makes
me mad. Well, I can see why that would bring
the score down. All right. Well, so keeping that in mind,
(06:48):
will and give it what it really deserves. For creativity,
for timeliness. Well, I don't want to leave on a
bad note. Since you're gonna be gone, I can take it.
I'll forget all about you once I start playing golf
in good duck Huntiness. I'm going live on Monday, that's
for sure, all right. I'll give this one a seven.
(07:11):
I'll call in. It's a seven, a seven, Thank you
very much, Will, I'll call in. You want me to
drop a good word about Monday? Yeah, maybe we'll see
how that goes. Holy cow. So anyway, easing into the
markets will go there as well, Houston Gooldexchange dot com
courtesy there up. Thank you very much, Houston, gooldexchange dot
(07:31):
com in brench Weiss. He's actually he's put together a
really nice package for the Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital
golf tournament we host every year around here. We set
a very optimistic goal and we are very close to
that goal. And when we come back from this segment,
I'm going to tell you where we are, and I'm
(07:51):
hoping some of you will join us so that we
can reach that goal where we're really really close, like
not a whole lot of teams left, only a couple
of sponsorships left. And I would love it if somebody
in this audience, or somebody who knows somebody who can
do it, can can get us over the top on
(08:11):
this thing so that I can go out there on
that Monday morning, December ninth and just cheer out loud
that we hit our goal all the way back even
before Thanksgiving. That's what I'm aiming for.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
It won't take a lot. This tournament is not inexpensive
to play, and I'll tell you that and I'll give
you the details when we get back. But what it
does is it it helps pretty much the sickest children
and their families in the world that the sickest kids
end up at Saint Jude's, and to make that process
(08:46):
easier for the entire family, they don't pay for anything.
There's not even a patient billing department at Saint Jude Hospital,
which on the tour I got years ago, just really
really set it all for me. They are so focused
on in kids, they don't worry about the money. That's
that's for me and you and anybody else who wants
to help them to take care of all.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Right.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
So anyway, I was gonna get to the markets and
that would be three out of four in the green early. Yeah,
about two hours ago. As last I looked. Oil also up. Unfortunately,
oil bad back north of seventy bucks a barrel, and
there's no reason for it unless you count world tension,
(09:28):
and we might get into that in a little while.
Gold still climbing too, which is good, up almost nineteen
dollars and ounce at twenty six seventy. So that's that.
I'll get to the Saint Jude tournament when we get back.
In the meantime, I'm gonna encourage you to consider on
December fifth through the seventh, can still be back in
(09:50):
time to play in the tournament on the ninth. A
trip to Alpine, now that's a pretty good drive, and
they'll they'll be the first ones to tell you it's
gonna take you two people a long time to drive
straight through. Or you could stop in Fredericksburg or maybe
San Antonio and make make it just a fun, longer
trip of it. That Thursday, out in Alpine, beautiful town
(10:13):
out there in the Big Bend, they are gonna encourage
you to stroll through the shops of Murphy Street and
Holland Avenue. It's kind of what they call a wastle crawl.
All of those businesses in there have their own special
recipe for wassle and they want you to try every
one of them. And then on Friday they have a
nice concert that will cap a day of other activities
(10:36):
kind of all around town. Really, they're all they're all
dressed up and ready to go for you and anybody
else who wants to go out there. And of course
on Saturday, they offer a beautiful tour, if you will,
of historic adobe homes decorated for the season. It's they
call it Alpines Adobe Trail. Beautiful architecture, something you won't
(10:57):
see much of around here, that's for sure. Free star
gazing every night under one of the darkest skies in
all of North America. So instead of seeing eight or
ten stars like you do around here, you might see
fifty or one hundred thousand stars if you were to
really stop and try to count them. Alpine, Texas, that's
where it's all happening. Go to Historicalpine dot org. That's
(11:21):

box in the middle of the.

by the temperature this morning? I wasn't suprime.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Yeah, you knew it was coming because I told you
you did, which means that honestly Monday score, which originally
a five, I told you on Thursday Wednesday by said
on thursdayday, if the Wednesday and Thursday were good, then
(13:17):
it would go up by a point for each day.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
So it's now a seven. That's pretty good. So this
makes this a pretty good week. Actually, yeah, that that
that boost there, those extra points earned credits if you will. Yeah,
that's pretty good. Will thank you very much, look very much. Oh,
somebody just texted me, let me see how important this is.
Uh huh that's good. Oh good, good, good good good.
(13:42):
Uh that Actually that was my buddy Kobe Gallic from
Kobe Stevens dot com, the golf duds people, the golf
attire people, and he just jumped in and grabbed a team,
which is good news for anybody and everybody who is
associated with that tournament. As am I this year taking
on a larger role, and because of that, when I
(14:06):
got in there, I thought, you know, I asked, Okay,
what's a goal this year? They told me the goal.
I said, oh, we can do better than that. We
can do better. And I'm and we're getting We're not
down to the wire yet. It's still not even Thanksgiving
and the event is December nine up at Golf Club
of Houston. We are going to fill both courses. I
have no question in my mind that we're going.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
To do that.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
And we only have a little bit of room left.
And I would love it if somebody, anybody, maybe a
few of you, could join us up there and by
joining us, I mean, either go ahead and grab a
team or if you're if you're really concerned with the
welfare of extremely sick children. Saint Jude over its over
(14:47):
its time. It started back in the nineteen sixties by
Danny Thomas and a lot of people in this most
everybody in this audience knows who that was. And Danny
Thomas set about to do something. It's it's a long
story as to how got started, but it's an amazing
story as well. A promise he made to God basically
that he was gonna get these kids made whole again.
(15:09):
All of these kids, the most sick children in the
country and in the world now really and what's come
of that is this amazing hospital campus in Memphis where
nobody who's admitted, no child who's admitted, nor anybody in
their family, pays anything for transportation, for food, for housing,
(15:30):
for all the medical care they get everything. Another thing
that was very interesting when I went over there on
a tour was that the big giant eating area, the
monstrous cafeteria, if you will, is shared by everybody, not
just patients. It's you might you might have a patient
(15:52):
with a child sitting in a little red wagon, eating
a cheeseburger or a grilled cheese sandwich, sitting right next
to a neurosurgeon, a pediatric neurosurgeon, and everybody's in there.
They're all treated equally, no matter who they are, where
they came from. And it's just a fascinating thing. And
it costs a lot of money to keep that going.
(16:13):
And by the way, all the research they do there,
everything they've done, that's pretty much tripled the rate of
surviving pediatric cancers in this country. All of that gets
shared with any other provider or hospital or clinic in
the entire world that needs that information. They don't charge
them a dime. They just here, you go, this is
what we figured out how to cure this crazy pediaticatric cancer.
(16:38):
And the information is yours. Go treat some more kids.
So here's the deal. It's not an inexpensive tournament. Like
I mentioned before, and I asked Matt Thomas to make
a little mention of it earlier today. Hopefully he has
by now. It's five thousand dollars a team. Okay, but
for that five grand, first of all, you're going a
long ways towards saving a kid with cancer. Thank you
(17:00):
for that and you'll get an incredible goodie bag. It's
a four person team, you get a great goodie bag,
you get five star breakfast and five star lunch. Well,
it'll be later than lunch when we finish, but it's
not that bad. We keep the thing moving, We have
a lot of fun. We're not going to bug you
out on the golf course for money. It's just if
(17:22):
you can come in and help us with a couple
of teams, one team. Throw your hat in the ring
to be put on a team. I don't know a
lot of people have done that in years past. Two
we had. The last four years have been tough. I
understand that, but after the fifth of November were a
lot of us are looking forward to a little more prosperity,
(17:42):
a little bit more of our own money in our
own pockets. And if you're if you're the boss of
your company, wonderful. This is an opportunity to make a
tremendous donation to an incredible cause. If you're not the boss,
go talk to your boss, say hey, I would I
would like somehow for our need to get involved in this.
What can we do? And I'm literally there are only
(18:05):
I think nine teams left for the entire event. We're
filling up both courses at Golf Club of Houston. We
have every year since we've been going there. It's just
not a problem, and I don't want it to be
a problem this year either. I gave the guy who
handed me the reins, looked me in the eye and said,
take good care of this tournament. And that's exactly what
I'm trying to do. I ray. It was me who
(18:28):
raised the ante, me who raised not the prices, but
who raised the goal. And I intend to hit that
goal one way or the other. And with your help,
it won't be hard, it really won't. I know that's
a lot to ask right around the holidays. But for
all of these kids who are over there, and I
got to meet some of them, I got to see
(18:48):
how that hospital works. I got to see the smiles,
not only on the kids' faces. They're just innocence and
sometimes they hurt, sometimes they don't, but the parents they
all look so optimistic walking around there. It's just amazing.
It's an amazing facility doing miraculous work. And I'm not
gonna go into all the long stories that I heard
(19:10):
while I was over there about unbelievable things they've done.
We just know that it is the real deal. They're
gonna use the money they get to cure pediatric cancers,
not for anything else, but just basically to keep the
lights on and cure pediatric cancer. If you want to
know more about it, or if you want to get
get on board, I can. I can share almost everything
(19:33):
you need to know with you. Just shoot me an email.
Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. It's so simple, Doug
Pike at iHeartMedia dot com. I really would love to
see you guys out there, And if you jump on
this week and I find out about it, I'll find
some way to especially thank you while we're out at
the tournament. Okay, it's gonna be a lot of fun.
(19:54):
One word or the other, it's gonna be a whole
lot of fun. It always is. Doug Pike at iHeartMedia
dot Com. Just put in the subject line Saint Jude
and I will I will answer those emails first, I
promise you this afternoon. All right, go Lee, we're down
to one minute. That was well, it wasn't all that quick.
I subtled. I got a lot said do you think
I do you think I made a good pitch. Well,
(20:15):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
You want a.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Team if you could, If you could, if you owned
a business that was doing better since the election, it
looked like you could forecast a really good next year.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Would you do it? If I could win? That depends
on the team you bring. I have a team, but
I'm not gonna stack it. I'm really not. I could,
I could. I could make a phone call and get
some pretty good professional golfers on my team. But it
is handicap so you can't really fudge that way. You
can't bring out three PGA Tour players and you and
(20:49):
probably you probably couldn't win the tournament because their handicaps
would cause you to have to add strokes to your score,
not take them off. It doesn't matter. It's fun. It's
a whole lot of fun. You get a really cool
gift bag. Believe me, I've been part of that too,
And there's some things that I will allow to gift
bags that are just duds, and some things that I say, yeah,
(21:10):
we really need to have that in there. My buddy
Kobe Gallick came over, like I said earlier, from Kobe
Stevens dot com and bought a team today. He bought
a team today, so there's one less team available. But please,
if you can, somehow, some way do this. Okay. A
Late Health is the well. They're actually clinics around town.
(21:32):
It's not the clinic. It's a collective of clinics around
town that do vascular procedures. And the most popular one
they do, the one they do most often is prostate
artery embolization. Prostate artery embolization goes in and it identifies
the artery that is feeding a pesky prostate, an enlarged one,
(21:54):
and if you have one, you know what the symptoms are,
and you know you hate them. If you have one
of those things. They go in and they plug up
that artery. I don't know whether they use Elmer's glue.
I don't know whether they use duct tape. I don't
care how they do it. They do it, and by
the way, it's not either of those things. I can
assure you that. But whatever they do, they stop the
(22:17):
blood flow of that prostate and it starts to shrivel up.
It'd be like us being deprived of oxygen. We'd start
to shrivel up and die. And that's what happens, is
that prostate. But you keep on going and you're kicking
your heels, you're happy in a very short amount of time.
Usually what they do for that, or for fibroids, for
(22:37):
ugly veins, in some cases, even for head pain that
can be leieved by plugging up a little teeny tiny
hair fine artery. They can do that. All these little
tiny little vessels and veins and arteries and capillaries, they
can plug them up if they're causing problems and lets
you start kicking your heels up and living a better life.
(22:58):
Most of what they do covered Medicare and Medicaid. They
also do regenerative medicine two, which is so good for
chronic pain. Get out of pain, get rid of those symptoms.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Eight Aged to Perfection. This is fifty plus with Dougpike Way, God,
will you there?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
Testing one to two? Will are you there?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You're so far away? What are you like?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Sick?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Five feet away? Maybe maybe I could make that putt
from here to your head. I could roll that in
about probably eight out of ten times, maybe nine maybe
nine if you let me just kind of groove it
for a minute, get the stroke down. My putting has
it used to be, without fail, without question, the strongest.
(23:59):
That was my strongest club in the entire back my putter,
I could bail myself out of trouble. And for the
last few weeks, and I don't know what it is now,
I have been playing different courses, so maybe that's part
of it. For the last several weeks I've just had
I don't feel confident as I used to. The hole
used to look as big as a peach basket to me,
and that looks like a thimble. So is what it is?
(24:22):
I'll be okay. Kobe Stevens from Kobe Gallic from Kobe
Stevens dot Com stopped by here just a little while
ago and dropped me off a little care package and
I am. I'm thrilled. You'll probably next time you see
me on a golf course somewhere, a good chance I'll
be wearing some of that. So back to where we
were a lot of the volatile volatility in the world
(24:45):
right now is focused on Ukraine and Russia, where Russia
just retaliated for Ukraine launching US built missiles approved by
President Biden. He launched these missiles deep into Russia, and
the Kremlin responded by fire and back missiles that included
at least one So, okay, here comes the shot across
(25:08):
the bow, just to let you know what's going on.
One of them that didn't carry a nuclear warhead, but
is capable of being fitted with one. That's pretty scary.
We're still, what for eight nine, nine and a half,
ten weeks from inaugurating President Trump for his second term,
and I hope he's already in contact. I'm sure he
(25:30):
is contact with a handful of people who can lay
a maybe a calming blanket over this potential beginning of
a third World war, which none of us wants. We
would be we would be kind of protected from it
for a little while, because the shorter distance of flights
between between Russia and some of our NATO partners over
(25:53):
there would make them I think, higher priority targets. Although
who knows who's in this count right now? Good heavens,
we have no idea. We have no idea who's in here.
Just this week, the FBI arrested another guy. Rested this
guy he was His name is Harun abdulh Ma leak
you there, and he was arrested this week for allegedly
(26:17):
plotting to plant a bomb and blow up a big
chump of chunk, not a chump, a big chunk of
the New York Stock Exchange. The FBI has been watching
him since February. It kind of honestly, it makes you want,
First of all, thank god they've got eyes on at
least these people, and I'm sure lots more who who
(26:38):
show a propensity for trying to blow things up. Maybe
at least they got them. But you just don't know
how many are here. We just don't know how many
of them are here. And that's what frightens me the most.
They last four years, what is it, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve to fifteen million people and they don't know where
(26:59):
half of them are. They don't know what more than
half of them probably are capable of. It's very frightening.
Will let's put you to work. Do you want share
and share a like? Do you want going bananas? Or
do you want not exactly a compliment? Not exactly a compliment?
(27:21):
That's an interesting one according to a study, And that's
all it says. When it says full story here full
click here for full story. Whatever. I don't do that
because if somebody is interested enough, they'll do it on
their own. But here it is according to a study
self driving cars. I want you to react to this
(27:42):
with true or false? Will self driving cars are actually safer?
True or false? False? I would have to agree with you.
But according to this survey, this study, not a survey
of study, self driving cars are safer. And remember how
I headed this not exactly a compliment because there's a
(28:06):
little dot dot dot after they're safer. Accept And here
it comes except at dawn, except at dusk or when turning?
What is this with my friend? So at rush hour? Dude,
I don't look at me. I have absolutely no idea. Yeah,
(28:27):
well yeah, there's rush hour, both rush hours, early and
late in the day, and then anytime you turn, and
why it would be so so dreadfully dangerous when it's turning,
I don't know. But that just that just pushes me
farther and farther away from a self driving car. I
have no interest whatsoever. Do you would you buy one?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Now?
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Would you take one if somebody gave it to you? No?
I wouldn't either, Honestly, I don't want a self driving car, Okay,
I want one that just it just has safety features. Now,
it's it's perfectly welcome to warn me if something's going
on around me that I need to know about. That's fine,
that's great, Okay, it's perfectly I don't have a problem
(29:14):
with that lane assist stuff where if you start to
swerve out of a lane, it's gonna kind of nudge
your or kind of shake the steering wheel or something.
I agree. I think that's really good. That's the yeah.
On my car, I have that stuff now, which is great.
I love on my side mirrors the yeah oh yeah,
(29:35):
it tells you somebody's coming telling them. Yeah. Mine has
a black uh kind of a blind spot on the
on the left hand side. If you just kind of
turn around, there's there's the the stuff between the doors,
and then it's such an an acute angle that you
really don't have a lot of view, just kind of
are peeking into the mirror. Especially you've got one of
(29:56):
those mirrors where everything's closer than it looks on the
other side, and then you got this one where it's
right where it shows you, but there's a blind spot
where it won't show you, and so, yeah, I'm glad
to have that little I think there's three lights over there,
three orange lights that let me know something's pretty close.
Remember that banana we talked about earlier in the week
that was going to go up for auction, Yes, sell
(30:17):
for a million to a million five something crazy like that.
Just what it sold for. It did sell, not even
the original banana, not the original duct tape, all of
which would have been rotted away by now. But anyway,
the new one, the fancy new one, just sold for
what will five hundred thousand. Couldn't even get the peel
(30:39):
for that six point two million dollars? Will to own
something that you and I can go. We could go
to HB this afternoon and then swing by home depot
on the way home, and we could create within one
hour at that price, probably close to one hundred and
(31:01):
fifty million dollars worth of art. Would you agree we
just go buy one hundred bananas, oh, just to hunt.
Think of this, one hundred bananas will and we tape
them to the wall. We have just made six hundred
and twenty million dollars. All we need is buyers. We've
(31:23):
set ourselves up for success. Do we have to go.
We got I guess we did, all right. I want
to set Bronze Roofing up for a little more success.
Brown's Roofing has been around for thirty plus years. They're
gonna be here tomorrow too, because Skeeter Braun has been
doing the same thing for thirty plus years, just with
different crews and different materials, all of which are extremely
good and superior in many cases to anything else that's
(31:45):
out there. The bottom line is his his business motto
over this entire time is quality work at a fair price.
That's what you're gonna get when you get them out
there for an inspection, which costs you nothing. That the
fair price for an inspection from Bronze Roofing zero dollars,
and usually they'll do that within twenty four hours. Good
(32:06):
roof can last you a long time, but you need
to get it up there, get somebody up there to
check it for you, somebody who knows what they're looking
for and where to find it. They found things on
my roof a while back then. I would have had
absolutely no idea we're there, and would have no idea
that would have been problematic. But they found them. They
came down, said Okay, here's what it's going to take
time wise to fix it. We have the stuff on
(32:28):
the truck. Here's what it's going to cost. And I said, yeah,
go do it be done. Be done with that repair,
and they were, and the roof's been fine. Bronze Roofing
going to be there within twenty four hours. If there's
a problem, they're going to fix it, whether that's a
tiny little repair or completely new roof. Maybe you've been
just kind of milking that roof of years for many, many,
(32:49):
many many years beyond its real true life, and it's
time and they'll take care of you that way too.

plus continues. Here's more with Doug. All right, boys, and
final segment of the program starts right now. I'm Doug.
He's Will, and together we sit around here and do
an hour or hours worth of well, I think what
(34:51):
I feel anyway, are, especially this time of year, kind
of conversation starters or if you are in the mood,
research generators. Yeah, I'll tell you a little bit about
a story. I don't like to go into just in
depth on things. Number one, it takes too much time
and only have one hour, and I don't want to
dwell on any one subject for very long. And number two,
(35:14):
I consider my audience to be plenty smart enough to
go look something up on the giant world Wide Web
as it used to be called, Go look something up
on the Internet that gives them more information about what
I've just talked about. I talked about Campbell's soup changing
its name yesterday. Will knew this. I confess that I
(35:37):
either knew it and had forgotten it, or hadn't really
realized it yet. Brian May, the guitarist from Queen, also
is better educated than you might think. Will. Why don't
you tell him what degree Brian May from Queen holds
and has held even since probably before he picked up
(35:58):
a guitar. Well, no, not before where he picked up
a guitar, but at some point in his life he
earned it. Well, he has a PhD in astrophysics, that's all. Now,
that's that's quite impressive, you must admit. And I'm sure
that when he went and told his parents, you know,
I know, I worked pretty hard to get this PhD
(36:19):
in astrophysics. But I'm kind of thinking about being a
guitar player, Like excuse me, what, Yeah, I'm gonna be
a guitar player. The name of our band, Oh yeah,
it's Queen. Well what does that mean. Well, it's just
you'll just have to hear our music. And you think
that you can make a living being a guitar player, Yeah,
(36:42):
I think so, Dad, I think I can. And the
rest is as they say, his story, his story and
good news. Guy in Mesquite, did I talk about that
Kamaro yesterday? I think I did, didn't I I can't
remember already, you know, I already gave up the I
already gave up the end of the story. Anyway, this
guy in Mesquite surprised his sixty five year old dad
(37:06):
with not just any I think it's a yeah, sixty
seven short block Camaro blue with white racing stripes, chrome wheels,
A real deal. Muscle car. And the bottom line is
that guy had to give up his dream car, which
that was because when he and his wife got together,
shortly after they were married, uh oh, here comes the baby,
(37:28):
and there wasn't enough money really to take care of
that baby. So he sold his car essentially to buy
diapers in formula and milk whatever. And his now very
grown up son went after that car and actually found
not just a blue Camaro with white racing stripes from
sixty seven, but the the original, the same. It was
(37:50):
the car. It was the car, and his dad was
in needless to stay pretty happy about that. Oh we
got time, I'm out of here. It's back, or I'll
go back up to the top of the page, share
and share like ooh, it's back. Guess what's back. You'll
(38:12):
know you should know it, So don't don't joke around.
You gotta get this right. Guess what's back at McDonald's
starting December third, the McRib it is indeed, did you
know that? Or is it just an easy You said
it's an easy. They'll never let it go. McDonald's is celebrating. Boy,
won't this tempt all of us? He said with tongue
(38:34):
in cheek half. You can get a half gallon jug
of McRib sauce, so I guess you can put it
on your blogean cheese sandwich or whatever. You can get
a half gallon jug of this stuff for twenty bucks,
which seems almost like a good deal. You probably can't
buy that much motor oil for that. What do you
(38:55):
think will? Are you gonna buy some McRib sauce? I
don't think I've ever had the McRib. Come on, you've
never had a McRib? No, treat yourself seriously. I'll buy
it if you'll eat it, I'll buy it. I'll give
you five bucks right now, and you when on December third,
you can go buy a McRib, but you have to eat.
You have to bring it into the studio and eat
(39:15):
it while we're on the air. Okay, you can wreaky heat.
You can put it in the microwave. If we get
a new microwave we are Our old one died and
for a few days there was just this hole there
well a piece of paper that said the microwave is broken.
It'll be replaced soon. And then there was a microwave
in there, and I'll oh great, here we go and
(39:36):
the guy who kind of runs over stuff like that
in the office. I said, when did we get the
new microwave? He said, oh, that's the old one. Did
you fix it? No, it's still broken. Just filled the hole,
that's all he did. It's okay. In Switzerland. You ever
been to Switzerland? Well, no, I've been to Sweden, but
not Switzerland. Come news, Here comes news of a Catholic
(39:58):
church there in which you can actually go into a
confessional and share your deepest secrets with an AI generated
version of Jesus. I know that's kind of what I said.
AI Jesus speaks one hundred languages, can answer questions, offer
supporting scripture, and generally do what Well, you know which
(40:24):
I it's a gimmick, okay, and it's a temporary one
at that the church admits that they're not going to
keep it there forever. And I got to wonder just
who thought it would be a really good idea to
do this. That seems like a big old just a
big heap in servant a sacrilege and a dash of pomposity.
And to think that a robot could replace Christianity's Lord
(40:48):
and Savior. Yeah, that goes down a really slippery slope.
And there's even like a holographic image of the only
way we know it that's behind the screen behind the
door there, and you just start talking, go in there,
(41:10):
one hundred languages. I don't like that, I really don't.
Do you will? Do you feel like I do about that?
It's a little, that's a little, that's a little too far.
I'm gonna go talk to Jesus, all right, I'll talk
