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 the good Ye.
This is fifty 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,

(00:42):
and now fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
All Right, Friday edition of the program. Boy, the week
went fast, and this morning went even faster. I had
so much going on, so much going on, by the way, Will,
and I just let our boss know this because he
didn't know it. I'm probably should have said that. But anyway,
today Will is employee appreciation Day. So thanks for being here. Will,

(01:13):
Thanks for doing what you do. I know you're not
my employee, but I suspect you may not hear it
from anybody else today because most people don't realize that
it's that day.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Of course, I think it's being surprised.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
A poll it says here, I don't know how many
people they asked I don't know who they asked, but
that poll found that only, well, what percentage of companies
do you think are doing something to thank their staffs today?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Five percent?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
What's higher than that? Ten nineteen almost one in five.
So three other companies around here probably won't hear much
what I did. I just let I let Eddie know
what day it was. I said, I'm not looking for
a pad on my own back. I'm okay, but it
would really I think it might move some of the

(02:04):
people who are here today, because Friday is like a
ghost town in here. We're all supposed to be working.
Some at least are more than more than some time
at the office, and many of the people do come
in a lot more than they used to during the
when when everybody was starting to come back, it was
a slow trickle around here. And I'm not fault at anybody.

(02:26):
I know all these people, and I know all of
these people work hard. I do know that because I
see them. I'm usually here when they get here, and
i'm here when they leave. And everybody who's coming in
I know is working hard. And to do what we
do down here. The people who are on the sales side,
they have to work hard. Nobody's giving them anything. They

(02:49):
have to go out and get it. So moving on.
You know what other days it is?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Well, what other day?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
This one's kind of national serial day? Does that move
you at all?

Speaker 3 (03:01):
I don't know the last time I've had cereal.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I you know, I used to eat it more often
than you might think, and even at just random times
in the day. I didn't just hold it back for
breakfast only, same as I'm not scared to eat an
omelet for dinner. Now I wouldn't. I wouldn't eat Tamali's

(03:25):
or a ribi for breakfast. I think that would be
I've eaten Tomala's for breakfas, yes, not breakfast tacos are
you talking about? I'm talking about Oh, just one you
heat reheated from last night. You made Tomali's for breakfast.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I don't make the tomales, but I'll go out get
the tamales, make the trip.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
That's what you make. And there's one more? Will there's
one more national Unless there's something on here? What does
it say? No? Nothing else?

Speaker 1 (03:57):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
So this one? Oh, it's two eight eight in Beijing,
by the way, tomorrow it's tomorrow in Beijing. Now, okay, ma,
you care at three h nine am in Tokyo. And
that's enough of that today. Also, will is middle name
pride Day. Oh what's your middle name? Hoby Hoby yes, family, Yeah,

(04:21):
I'm named after both of my grandfathers. They were both
named Hoby William and Hoby. Okay, though that would be
a coincidence. My middle name is actually from It was
my father's middle name. It's Arthur, Douglas Arthur, not to
be confused with Douglas MacArthur, totally different person. Yeah, and

(04:45):
my mom kind of my grandmother wanted me to be
named after my father, whose first name was Harold, and
my mother said, you know, I'll go with the middle
name Arthur, but I'm not naming my boy Harold. Just
that wasn't gonna work.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Could have gone by Harry.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
And I'm so glad I didn't. There's nothing wrong with
the name, but that doesn't ring for me. It just
doesn't ring. So anyway, thanks to all of you for
letting us into your lunchtime routine. I've got a good
interview at the bottom of the hour with the person
who kind of pulls the strings at the Lone Star
Flight Museum. They have got a ton of stuff for

(05:25):
the whole family. Talking about multi generational fund that a
lot of you probably haven't ever seen, and it's right
down there on the way to Galveston at Ellington Field.
That's going on at the bottom of the hour. I
got a nice lineup of other topics to talk about,
some lighter than others, in all of which I hope

(05:45):
at least some of you, most of you will find
something interesting, educational, amusing if we play our cards right,
will we could amuse people? Do you think?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I think so?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I know I can, and there will be some redeeming
value at least definitely worth the price of admission. Would
you agree? Will?

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I mean it is freeze, so it is.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
You get what you paid for. We'll start with a
quick look at the weather. As is tradition, I guess
around here and I may change that. I've been thinking
about that courtesy of Texas into ear Quality Specialists. Cleaner
air is healthier air, and they provide that for you
in your home by using a very special method to
clean your duct work so that it stays clean for

(06:34):
a couple of years. Texasiaq dot net leading off today,
cloudy but not supposed to rain, high around seventy nine,
then maybe some rain tomorrow, then absolutely if you believe them,
smooth sailing from Sunday at least through Thursday. That's as

(06:55):
far out as I looked. Was one solid week, and
once we get through tomorrow it looks really really good,
which bodes well for my next week. By the way,
in the markets courtesy of Houston Goldexchange dot Com, everything
opened green for a change, but only by fractions of
percentage points, and then around twenty minutes ago I looked again,

(07:16):
everything back of the red, Nasdak, and Russell most actively down,
but not by not by anything that looked like a
major move might be happening. We'll see how that goes.
Oil was up, but by less than a buck and
still at a very comfortable sixty seven dollars in change.

(07:37):
I believe it was still sixty seven and less than
a quarter, so that's not bad. It's pretty good. Gold
snaked along up and down, then up and down, but
still well north of twenty nine hundred dollars an ounce
psa of the day. This weekend, we all lose an
hour so that golfers and fishermen that's me and me,

(07:57):
can stay out a little longer in the afternoon before
were dark. And as if any of you cared, I
actually in that little lake that I know was devastated
by cormorants. I actually caught the first bass that I
have caught out of that lake in six months of effort,
and so Hope Springs Eternal. I know there's more than one.
What is a cormorant, It's a bird will that eats

(08:21):
two and a half to three pounds of fish a day.
And that lake has been besieged every time there's any
kind of a forage fish hatch by hundreds of those
things that hang around for a week. Do the math
on how many of the fish that were in those
lakes they've eaten it. Literally, they're my least favorite flying

(08:43):
animal on the whole planet. Might be my least favorite
animal on the whole planet. Really, yeah. Yeah, And there's
a permit you can get to take them off your
place if they are messing it up, and I'm gonna
I might talk to the person who runs the place
I'm talking about, and if he agrees that I can

(09:04):
go ahead and do that, there's gonna be a run
on am O pretty quick. I don't know how much
I can afford. But it's gonna be everything I can afford,
and I'll one by one I would take them out.
They've done this to lakes all over the entire country.
They really have big lakes, little lakes. There at one

(09:25):
point where like thirty or forty thousand of them living
on Lake Livingston. And I know I've gone too far,
I know I have. Well, I'm so sorry. UTL Institute
on Aging is that collaborative about which I have told
all of you for lo these many years now, since
I think just maybe a year or so after it
was created by the late doctor Carmel Dyer, And ever

(09:48):
since then, the people who work there who are dealing
with anything to do with the Institute on Aging have
lived up and supported her legacy by con continuing to
gain additional information and education beyond their actual area of expertise,

(10:09):
as that area of expertise can be applied specifically to
seniors that would be us. There are I want to
say that probably thousands of providers involved now, many of
whom are in the medical center, a lot of them
in outlying clinics and hospitals and offices, so that anybody,
any one of us, a senior who needs to be
seen by someone who understands us, probably better than we

(10:31):
understand ourselves. Can do that and not have to drive
it into the med center. If that scares you or bothers you,
or you just can't do that. Utch dot edu slash aging,
start there, learn about what they do at the Institute
on Aging, and then schedule a consultation or something. Go
see one of these people. Utch dot edu slash aging.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Once life without a Net. If I suggest to go
to bed, leave it off.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Just wait until the show's overs. Back to Doug Pike
as fifty plus continues.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hi, welcome back to fifty plus. Thanks for listening. Certainly
do appreciate on it. Just just well, it's cloudy, but
it's still a very pretty and will be pretty warm.
Actually this afternoon, Friday afternoon, not a bad thing, nice, comfortable.
This is spring, in case you don't recognize it. In
case you don't understand that. And we're all local, all

(11:32):
the local native Houstonians are thrilled that we've had as
many days of spring as we already have. It's unusual
for around here. It's usually it goes from winter last
week to spring. On Tuesday and then Wednesday it's summer,
and then on Thursday it might go back to winter

(11:52):
or spring, or it may become fault. All these oak
trees we have around here, they're not scared to lose
their leaves any time of year. Every time I turn
it that in the trees in my yard, Dear Heavens,
I have the most fruit bearing oak trees in my
front yard of anybody in the neighborhood. You can drive

(12:13):
up and down the streets, and I'm not talking about
just after somebody who mowed your yard came by, or
just after you were out there and you mowed everything
and you blew all the acorns off your sidewalk real quick.
I could completely rid my sidewalks and drive with every
acorn today during the peak grown well, whenever the peak

(12:33):
growing season is. It's falling off a little bit, thankfully,
but during that peak acorn time in the fall, I
could completely remove every acorn out of my yard and
even the neighbor's yards, and the next morning there would
be a bushel basket of them back in the yard. Again,
do you have oak trees where you are will Yes?

(12:55):
Are they bountiful?

Speaker 3 (12:58):
I don't know if they're as to full as you
described more oak trees. I'm telling that, Uh, you know,
they dropped some stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
You could find an acorn if you went looking for it.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
You could find a couple of acorn.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Sure, I'll tell you. One thing you don't want to
do is at my house in the dark, is walk
down the driveway barefoot during acorn time. You will You'll
just curl up like a little ball. You'll roll over
into the yard and they won't hurt as bad because
the ground is a little softer than the concrete. But
you'll still be crying. It's horrible. So first out of

(13:35):
the gate video that Democrats released in hopes of reaching
younger voters, and actually, before I get to that, I'll
back a little farther to that cringey montage that was
put together to show about about two dozen Democrats right
after President Trump's address. They had already they had already
done these I'm sure in their offices. These were already

(13:58):
prepared because people hang around, they go have a drink
or have something to eat afterward of these things. And
all of a sudden, out of nowhere, there are all
these representatives in congressmen on camera leaning in saying exactly
the same unbecoming of a federally elected official. Quote this

(14:24):
blank ain't true. That's all they had. That's the only rebuttal. Really,
I didn't by the way, I didn't listen to the
Democrat rebuttal of the address. I had to go do
some stuff for my family, and so maybe there were
some maybe there were some clearer points made, But for

(14:44):
seated congressmen and women to come out and just do
this ForWord slang hip cool thing, I guess they thought
it would appeal to younger people, most of whom weren't
watching that. By the way, it was really disturbing. It
really was. It's a playground declaration with just nothing to

(15:09):
back it up either. The lies they've told for the
past four years alone would fill volumes, and they're just
this blank ain't real. Well, yeah, it ain't true. Excuse me,
it's real.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
It was.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
This ain't true is what they said, with one more
word attached. What about them? What about Hunter's laptop? How
many times did they tell us that wasn't real? How
many times? What the Russian dossiers they've told us that
windmills and solar panels, going solar panels are gonna save
the world, that's not true. Electric vehicles are good for
the environment. Not true. Spending trillions of dollars we don't have,

(15:48):
by the way, on climate control while the other ninety
five percent of the world does nothing at all. It's
gonna save us. No, it's not. That's a lie as well.
Lie as well. People's eyes are opened up and they're
not falling for as so easily as they so easily
did in years past. Younger even younger voters, the people

(16:12):
they were so happy to influence with free college loan
payoffs and free this and free that, even they realized
that it's just undoable that way. Oh so back to
the original idea too. I don't want to miss out
on that. The Dems released a video this week of
half a dozen women in Congress bouncing up and down
with their fists raised while while dressed in work attire,

(16:34):
mind you, with instructions to pick your fighter. They were
showing these women in Congress as fighters for the common man.
I guess I don't know they really did that, and
it landed just absolutely flat, absolutely flat. They're laughing stocks
now so so so entirely out of touch with Americans

(16:57):
that this is what just that's all they had. Somebody
two or three people in a meeting said hey, how
about this. How about what a fighter and a bunch
of our congresswomen standing there and sparring and shadow boxing.
That'll get them back right, That'll teach them that we're
sincere and trying to help them.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Know.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
You look like fools. You look like fools a late health.
If you are a grown man fifty or older, you
may or may not have them already, but you could
get them. That would be symptoms of an enlarged, non
cancerous prostate. If you're a woman, you might be dealing
with issues caused by fibroids. If you are anyone who

(17:39):
has ugly veins anywhere on your body, or in some
cases even if you have head pain, any and all
of that and many other things can be alleviated with
vascular procedures, which is what a late health does at
its clinics around town. You go in there, you stay
there for the procede, You don't go to a hospital

(18:01):
anywhere where you might come home with something you didn't
walk in with, and you get to recover at home
as well, very quickly from these procedures because they are
minimally invasive at worst, pretty simple procedures for the people
who are experts at a late health It would seem
very complex to you and me. But they are very
good at what they do, and they've been doing this

(18:22):
for a very long time. Led by a man named
doctor Andrew Doe very good. I've had him on the
program many times. We're gonna have him on again pretty
soon to dial and deep dive farther into his world.
A latehealth dot Com is the website. Much of what
they do is covered by Medicare and Medicaid and it's

(18:42):
it's really truly can be life changing. Regenerative medicine too,
by the way, which helps with chronic pain for so
so many people now. A late health dot com is
a website the phone number where you could schedule a
consultation seven one three five eight eight thirty eight eighty
eight seven one three five eight eight thirty eight eighty eight.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, they sure don't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we wash them, check his
fluids and spring on a fresh coat o wax. This
is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
All Right, welcome back, thanks for listening to fifty plus.
I certainly do appreciate it. On this cloudy I presume
it's still cloudy. We have no window in here. We
just have that's so sad. We'll we you know what
we should do, just kind of skylight in the roof.
Come in the weekend, bring a little saw and what
just cut a hole. That might work if we were
on the top floor of the building. But sole, let's

(19:40):
just then run a little camera over to the window.
We could do it little bluetooth camera, couldn't we I
mean sure, or just get something on TV. There's bound
to be a find one of those nature cameras. All Right,
I gotta move on. Thanks for sharing your Friday. We're
gonna talk in this segment about a really interesting place
that I as I mentioned the opening of the program,

(20:01):
I would bet that I bet that more more than
a few of you have yet to visit this place,
and it is going to be such a treat when
you do. I'm talking about the Lone Star Flight Museum
down by Ellington Field on the way to Galveston, and
to explain what's going on there from pretty much from
tomorrow through the twenty second of March and beyond. Actually

(20:21):
thinking about my notes a little farther down the page,
I will enlist Rotha Liddry, Senior director of Marketing at
the museum.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Welcome Rotha, Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Appreciate your time today. So to get started, how about
just a brief history of the museum. It's open year round,
all these stuff going on, So what's the history.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
So the museum started, like you mentioned, in Galveston, and
then Afro Hurricane moved up into Houston right at Ellington Airport.
So now since twenty seventeen we've been here. We are
about twenty minutes from downtown Houston, so we're really convenient
for folks, and we are aviation history museum and STEM
learning Center, so we've got a lot going on for

(21:04):
people to do.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, this museum really unlike any other really, and that
a lot of the exhibits actually can fly. The closest
I think anything around here would come to that would
be the butterflies and birds at Moody Gardens. But that's
way way different, isn't it very much?

Speaker 3 (21:18):
So?

Speaker 4 (21:19):
But yes, absolutely we have aircraft that do fly.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
And as I already know, but a lot of people
out here may not know, you can actually schedule brief
flights in most of those planes, can't you.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Absolutely, So you can schedule flights in our war birds.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
We fly on the weekends, and everybody that goes and
does it can't stop raving about it.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
They just have such a great time up there.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I may have to try that out. I'm gonna get
down there. I want to talk to Yeah, I'll talk
to McLay and see if we can work something out.
I would like to. I would like to experience one
of the old World War Two fighters and just feel
the force and the just the raw horsepower of those things.
I really would Oh, I.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
Don't think you're alone in that. I think there are
quite a few other people that I'd like to join
you on that trip.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah. I don't care about something that goes low and slow.
I want to move. I want to feel that. How
often are these flights available.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
So they're available year round. You can purchase them as gifts,
you can purchase them for yourself. Of course, we are open,
we are beholden to the weather, so that is something
that once you get your flight and we'll schedule you.
But as you mentioned, these are you know, beautiful war birds.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
But we have to have the right weather in order
to be up there.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I understand that. And while I'm thinking about it, Excellon
Mobile still sponsors free admission on Tuesdays. Is that correct,
I hope so, yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, it's absolutely correct.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
So in the from now until February twenty twenty six,
every single Tuesday, we have free admission presented by ex
On Mobile. We're so thankful for their generosity. We do
encourage folks to go ahead and register online in advance
so they can go ahead and plan their trip and
see all the cool things that they can do at
the museum.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
And talk about the museum and what's kind of what's
on tap for these next two very popular spring break weeks.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Oh, we have such a wide range of activities, anything
from Space is the Place to superheroes.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
We have so much that's going on.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
In fact, we also have our Plane of the month
that's on our grounds right now, which is actually a
helicopter and if the CH forty six that's the legendary
helicopter because it was actually in service for the last
for eight presidents, starting with President Nixon going all the
way to President Obama and actually can have the Moniker
of Marine one because it flew President Clinton, and it is.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
It's a behemoth. It's a huge aircraft.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Stands for chinook? Is that what I'm thinking?

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Not quite sure on that, but I believe you're right.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's a big one. It's a big, big, big. Yeah, Okay,
that's probably it. They're they're very impressive. That'd be a
helicopter I'd like to fly into. That'd be pretty cool.
Rutha Li Loudry from the Lone Star Flight Museum on
fifty plus this afternoon. You have got to be thrilled
by the forecast for next week. Huh.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
I have to be honest with you. I'm not sure
what the weather is like.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Let me, oh yeah, you've just been focused on getting
the events done. Let me help you out. And you're
gonna like this Saturday, there's a little chance of rain
after that for the next at least five or six
or maybe seven days sunshine and beautiful temperature. So there
you go. I didn't mean to catch you off guard.
I'm so sorry, but yeah, it's you're gonna love it.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
You're fine. You were mentioning how you didn't have a window,
and I have to admit, you.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Know, I should have paid closer tention to the weather report,
but that lack of a window sometimes, you know, kind
of yeah, you might get a little long.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Oh oh, yeah, I understand. I understand where you're coming from.
And in addition to Spring Break month, March is also
Women's History Month. What do you have planned for that?

Speaker 5 (24:52):
So we have a lot planned starting with International Women's Day,
which is actually tomorrow. We have a brand new hangar
talk which is the nineteen ninety four around the World
race by that which was won by Patricia Jane Keefer
and her mother Marion Keefer. So we have a hangar
talk that talks about that and the stem concepts that
went into the math and the science that was needed
to figure out how much fuel they needed. As an

(25:14):
added bonus, we have that played at our museum and
guests are able to get a peek inside and see
it for themselves.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
They flew it all the way around the world. Yes, sir,
how long did it take them? Do you know? Off end?

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Not off hand? Man, I'm apologizing to you.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
No, no, no, there's no reason. May I have so much
to ask you now? We're almost out of time, believe
it or not. Talk about the Aviation Hall of Fame.
April eleventh, You're inducting a few more people, right.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yes, we are.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
This year we're closing out on a hundred inductees, which
include Alcis Darrow's, Jeanie Levitt and Tammy Joe Schultz.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
They all have deep Texas roots.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
On April eleventh, we have our induction ceremony, but also
the luncheon at the Lone starf Flight Museum, and I
encourage everybody to go on our website if they'd like
tickets or to sponsored table.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Fantastic, fantastic, thank you for your time. This is such
a great family destination. I'm glad we got to talk
about it before spring break starts, because whether you've got
grandkids you want to take, whether you want to take
your own kids, whether you want to just get in
the car and go for yourself to go see this place,
there's really there's a lot to see other than the

(26:21):
airplanes too, right, correct.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Correct, There's so much that you can do and there's
so much hands on stema activities, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, fantastic, fantastic, educational and entertaining. Well, we've we've fulfilled
our mission for today. We've entertained and educated. That's what
we do Rathall Ledrie Little Audrey, excuse me, I got
the vows rom Rotha little Loddry. Thank you very much
for your time today, and I will I will continue
to encourage people to go see that museum. It's really

(26:51):
it's really a fantastic place. Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
I appreciate it. Thank you so much, my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Bye. All right, we got to take a little break here.
When we get back, we'll wrap it up. But until then,
somebody's going to be telling you where to shop and
maybe well maybe what to do this week. Who knows.
We'll be right back. More fifty plus on AM nine
to fifty kprc Aged to Perfection.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Welcome back, thanks for listening on this Friday afternoon. Appreciate it.
I really do so it does. Will you appreciate them?

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Right?

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Will careful, be very careful what you say.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
I do appreciate them.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Okay, just making sure in Physical Fitness News, and don't
shoot the messenger here. Okay, I'm thinking of a few
of you might disagree with the the benchmarks that are
being set here. There's a chart circulating through all the
social media outlets based on research done by the Mayo Clinic,

(28:03):
which I find a tad ironic in any event, it
shows just how many push ups you should be able
to do based on your age, nothing else, just age,
no existing pre existing conditions or reasons that you may
or may not be able to do more or fewer

(28:25):
push ups than the recommendation, and without judgment at all,
without any comments at all. Here's where the bar is set.
In your thirties, you're there right, well, oh no, you're
still in your twenties. Probably a higher number than I'm
about to tell you then, based on and I'm not
even going to tell people how how many of you

(28:47):
said you could do in your thirties, you should be
able to do twenty one push ups as a man
nineteen if you are a wo man, a woman in
your forties, fourteen for women, sixteen for men in your fifties,
ten for women, and twelve for men. In your sixties

(29:10):
ten for men or men or women. And in your seventies,
I think you just starting to be able to get
up off the floor and back into your chair. I
made that one up. I think it's relevant too, because
I know some people who if once they hit the
ground they're not pushing up, they're rolling, they're straining just

(29:33):
to get back into the chair. And that it's not
it's indicative of needing to exercise more. I'm not going
to judge you. If you're at that place, then just like,
oh gosh, what's his name, doctor Colly, I'm drawing a blank.
One of my favorite guys I've ever had on this show,
and he's been on here a million times, and I

(29:55):
really like one of the doctors over at ut Health.
Oh gosh, John Higgins, Remember doctor Higgins, the Australian man. Yes,
thank you will, Yes, indeed he said whatever extra And
every doctor I've interviewed has basically said the same thing.
Wherever you have to start, just start moving. If you

(30:16):
can't walk around the block, walk down your driveway, if
you can't ride a bicycle from your house to the
grocery store, ride it to the corner and back, but
just start moving. And the more I read there's also
a necessity for especially at our ages, for weight bearing exercise.

(30:36):
That's very important because if you're not doing anything weight bearing,
you're robbing yourself a bone density, which is really important
to maintaining muscleman. All of these things rely on using
your muscles. You've got to do that. Even a little
bit of day is gonna make it be a big help.

(30:57):
Do some pushups, do some arm curls with little waits,
do sit ups, whatever you can think of. Do calisthenics.
They just move and then throw in a couple of
walks a week. Help yourselves. That's what I'm trying. I
end up getting a lot more physical activity than you
might imagine for someone who's in this office six days

(31:19):
a week. And I've been very blessed in that I
haven't just totally fallen apart. Some might disagree, I guess anyway,
moving on because we have several minutes left to take
care of a couple of things that I wanted to
get to. I saw a headline this morning that kind
of got my attention, and I don't know how long
it's been since the last time this happened, but I

(31:40):
found it just a little bit a tad unbelievable, and
I'll just go with that. For the first time in
a long time, some guy standing on the shore of
Scotland's doors Beach Dries maybe Doris doors Beach, claims he
saw the lock Ness monster. Now bear in mind. There's

(32:03):
no picture, there are no other witnesses to the siding,
just a dude on the beach, probably if the weather
was normal for the season, overlooking pretty choppy, if not
downright rough water, and he saw something he didn't recognize,

(32:24):
And I'm calling belowney on that whole thing. Well, do
you believe him? No, there's just no way write it off. Man,
he saw something. But I'd bet everything you and I
have and I think you'd throw in with me that
that wasn't the lock Ness Monster. Yeah, there's just if

(32:44):
that were, that's a no. I got a really good
friend who is dead certain that that bigfoot exists, and
I don't want to make him mad if he's listening,
although he's well below the age cut off. Even the
thirty five pluses who listened to show, thank you all
very much listening on behalf of your parents trying to
learn some things that can help them. That's more than

(33:07):
I was able to do when my mother's health started
to fail, because there was no show like this, So
thank you all for listening. No matter how, no matter
what's your age is, it really makes no difference. By
the way, I mentioned a late health earlier, and I'm
gonna kind of single out doctor Doe for being a
part of this show and being elsewhere on our iHeartRadio

(33:28):
stations and actually getting very good results, or he wouldn't
continue to do what he's doing. And I will let
you know again like I've told you before, if you
have interest in reaching this audience, if your company does
anything that might benefit this audience, and you might benefit
from them taking advantage of whatever it is you do,

(33:50):
by all means, just contact me. You don't have to
go through the switchboard, you don't have to dial some
eight hundred number. You just just get in touch with
me by email and I will set that ball in motion.
I will help you get started up from A to Z.
And by the way, what I do, I can do
anywhere in the country too. If the gaysha I'm not

(34:13):
really I'm listening in another state and my business might
benefit from being on the radio, just email me. I'll
talk to you and I'll straight talk you too. I'm
not gonna I don't upsell people on things. I just
I go in. I've been doing this for twenty years.
I've been doing my shows for twenty five. I kind
of got into this other side of it as well,

(34:35):
when I needed to help out some people who were
interested in being part of my show and weren't getting
the attention they wanted from people who are no longer here.
So I'm not talking about anybody here now. All you
gotta do is email me, Doug Pickett, iHeartMedia dot com,
and I would be happy to walk you through it
and help you get started, as I've done actually in

(34:55):
the last month, in the last couple of weeks, for
three different clients, by the way, which I'm very proud
to say I've gotten taken care of. All right, Will
what's left? Sucker born every minute? Or look at me?

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Oh, look at me.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Paul asked if having a selfie as your lock screen
was weird. How many people do you think said, yes,
it is weird a selfie, Yeah, your own picture right
there on your phone. Look at me.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
I think it's okay. I don't have a problem with
whatever you choose to put on your phone your lockscreen.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
I was leaning the other way a little bit and
just like saying it was gonna be weird. But then again,
when you put it that way, it's it's not my phone,
it's their phone. And they put whatever they want on it.
So yeah, it's sixty eight percent said yes, it's weird.
Only a third said no, it's totally cool. Oh, there
you have that. One one more will, oh, a couple more,

(36:02):
maybe if we play our cards right. Time for a change,
well a time for a change. That was just some
silly thing about daylight saving time tomorrow night. And actually
a significant number of people in this country want to
just move them up and leave them there forever and ever,

(36:22):
though we would be an hour off of the whole world.
But hey, we're America. We can handle it. Money for nothing,
will or what's left? What's left here? It says, are
a few items that you should never put in your dishwasher.
Wouldn't utensils, cast iron pans? Did you know that I

(36:43):
can see the wood things? Why? Why not?

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Because yea, the I think the type of adhesive or
what you know, whatever they make up.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Well, we got to move on. Insulated mugs. That's a
no no, And I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
I don't know what an insulated mug is.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
All these big cups everybody carries out, oh like a
like a yetti yetty Arctic, all those they're all insulated cups.
And it's this nonstick cookwar Oops, I'm done that. And
it plastic containers that aren't dishwasher safe. Yeah, you kind
of need to read about that because there were some
old plastics that didn't really work out very well that way.

(37:22):
It'll melt in a few seconds.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Now.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
The one legged pants trend, maybe about that next week.
Do you have any one legged pants?

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Will?

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
On purpose? No?

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (37:37):
And I think we got to get out of here.
It's kind of hard to tell by the clock. We'll
be back. I'll be back next week, as I hope
all of you will. Thanks for listening to Audios.
