Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well, this show is all about you. 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, and now fifty plus

(00:44):
with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
All right, here we go. Welcome aboard for this this
edition of fifty plus, and thank you for listening. I
certainly do appreciate it. I've got some different headphones on it.
Good Lord, who's a little teeny tiny head's been in
these things? Let me open them up just a little bit.
That's way more better. All right, Welcome to this kind

(01:07):
of sort of okay to mediocre day across Southeast Texas.
I have a hunch it's gonna be a little like
it was two days ago when the forecast ran a
lot of people back indoors, but the actual weather turned
out pretty good. I heard maybe three thunderclaps last night,
late last night, early this morning, I'll put up slash

(01:31):
between those two. It wasn't quite daylight. I don't believe
when that was going on. I wasn't really paying close attention,
but it that was about it. A little bit of
rain and that was all we had down there in
sugar Land. So who knows. That's where we are right
now in this part of the country. You get some
good stuff, you get some bad stuff, and you get

(01:52):
a ton of stuff that's in between. We're done with
coats and jackets and scarves. I mentioned that last week,
and that's gonna go for the next six or seven months.
And we're fast entering the time for shade and ice
cubes and loose fitting clothes. None of well, I can't
say none, but not many of my articles of clothing

(02:12):
are loose fitting anymore. When I was young, I had
a really hard time gaining weight. And I'm well joking,
they'll wrap it in quotes. I'm thrilled that I have
cured myself of that problems. It's not bad yet, I'm not.
I'm okay where I am, but I really need to

(02:34):
lose a little bit of weight. Maybe I'll try and
get on with one of these weight loss programs we
have we talk about on the air on these stations
of ours, and hopefully they can fix some of this
on the bright side, if you'd like to hear about it.
The market was doing well early this morning, continues to
do so, although not as as well as earlier. This morning.

(02:56):
The doubt was up, I don't know, eleven thousand or not,
eleven thousand, eleven one hundred points something like that this morning,
maybe a little bit more. It's it's settled back a
little bit, as have all the other big indicators. But
I think and I think that's going to do well
now that more and more countries are arriving at the
tariff bargaining table. Close to a dozen and a half

(03:20):
I think in the last week or so have come
up and said, you know, we really would like to
do business with you guys, and we're willing to bring
it closer to equitable, closer to a fair and even
exchange of tariffs. I honestly, I don't know why a
lot of these countries just don't say we won't tear
af you if you won't tariff of us. That's what

(03:41):
needs to happen. We'll see indicators going up and down.
Oil going well, Oil and gold both down this morning,
just before up until I looked about twenty minutes ago.
I don't know, goal was down more than one hundred
bucks an ounce, but it was still not anywhere near
far enough down from previous numbers to get anywhere the

(04:02):
brand new baseline, I guess, which is going to be
three thousand dollars until it hits four someday. Climbing over
the fence and into the swamp. Let's just do that.
From the privileged position desk, we learned this morning that
a member of Minnesota Governor Tim Wall's staff has admitted

(04:25):
to vandalizing six Texlas Texa. I can't get Texas off
my mind. I'm from here. I'm sorry six Tesla's and
causing to them about twenty thousand dollars in damage. Thirty
three year old guy, he was caught on camera king
electric cars here and there and around the Minneapolis area.

(04:48):
And guess what, no criminal charges will be filed. The
Soros backed DA in charge of the case called what
he the the thing he did for this young man? Well,
he's thirty three, he's not young anymore. He's a grown
man out keying cars. It's called a pre trial diversion,

(05:11):
a move that is supposed to let the criminal keep
his or her job, stay out there working so they
can pay off the damage they've done to somebody else's property.
My gut tells me two things. Number One, if it
had been anybody but somebody from the governor's office, or

(05:32):
at least if had it been a registered Republican, be
in jail for a long long time. This guy gets
to keep his job. And my other hunch is that
somebody else is gonna end up paying for the damage.
That's what my gut tells me. Somebody else is gonna
pick up that tab. I still have trouble figuring out

(05:54):
how the party that wanted to mandate electric cars also
wants to destroy the world's largest manufacturer of electric cars.
It's kind of a clown show, really, when you get
right down to it. We want everybody to drive one
of these, but if you buy one, we're gonna tear
it up. We're gonna scratch it up, we're gonna ring
it up, we're gonna set fire to it. But you

(06:15):
need to buy one because it'll save the planet from
the devaluation of education. Desk and slash college sports desk.
I guess I should have added that comes word that
the NCED Double A has approved new rules. They're still
going to require the approval of a federal judge. That's

(06:38):
got to happen before all this goes into effect. But
these new rules, once they make it past that will
allow universities to directly pay their athletes. It's a little
more complex than it sounds, and still has kinks at
the ironing, but come July, the value of education pretty
much gets thrown out the window, I think. And there

(06:58):
is a rule that says within the nc Doublea's book
on what's new, I guess you could call it it
does require paid players to attend school full time and
work toward a degree. But really, I've watched the changes
in college sports since back when I played. The first
payments were done under very big, heavy tables. Nobody could

(07:22):
see underneath them see what was going on. I wasn't
special enough to get paid to be in school. I
got a job and I had to go work at
that job to make a little spending money, and maybe
it helped being a member of the baseball team there,
but I didn't get paid what these guys are getting paid.
Oh my goodness. A had to crack down on those

(07:45):
violations for a while, and then then came NIL, which
is lying in the pockets of thousands of athletes with
tons of money and left probably about ten times as
many athletes, including scholarship athletes, actually with empty sacks because
they're not popular enough. Still a chance in a free education,
though for what that's worth. I've got a little bit

(08:05):
more to tell you about this, but I've got to
take a break now. Will is sending me messages in
the American sign language. I need to learn that. Will.
We'll take a little break here. We'll be right back.
More fifty plus on AM nine to fifty kprc aged
to perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right,
welcome to the second segment of fifty plus here on

(08:27):
this this cloudy icky might rain, might not day. That's
about all I can go with. Back to the NCAA
for a minute. I feel like it's being converted into
a giant minor league for all the major league sports.
Between straight up payments and the transfer portal and NIL,
there's going to be a lot of opportunities in the

(08:48):
future for agents who specialize in negotiating contracts for college
and eventually high school. I guess athletes here at work.
Let me know that a university right here in Texas
paid a saw. I think it was a sophomore who
got paid something like four million bucks to not enter

(09:11):
the transfer portal. Please stay, oh, please stay at our school. Well,
how much is it worth? Uh? Four million dollars? Okay,
So this kid's twenty maybe maybe twenty one, probably nineteen
or twenty, and he just made more than a lot
of very high quality professional athletes urn four million bucks

(09:37):
just to not leave. That's all. Some freshmen I think
at the same school actually got a couple of million
to hang around. So what happens when that kid decided
This is what bothers me, and I've heard this brought
up before. What happens when that kid decides he doesn't
like the coach or something the coach told him to do,
and goes to the ad the athletic director, and says,

(09:58):
I don't want to play for him anymore. You got
a kid who's making he got four million to stay there.
He's got nil deals, just loading bringing more bags to
his house, I guess, And the coach is making a
million dollars a year, million and a half whatever basketball

(10:20):
coaches make, probably less than that kid. Coach gets fired.
The coach goes before the kid goes. And what if
what if all like three or four of these basketball
players get together and decide they don't like an assistant coach,
they don't like the trainer, they don't like anybody, just
off they go. It's a it's opening a very concerning

(10:44):
door for me anyway to see this going on. Uh,
And I hope, I hope there's a whole lot of negotiation,
a whole lot of really serious talk that goes on
before all this gets carved into stone.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
From the tee it up for a good cause desk.
I learned from my buddy Rob Logan that there's a
tournament over to task a seat on Friday that's got
a little room for another team or two. This one
benefits the Lake Houston Sports and Recreation Foundation in partnership
with a guy named Jamison Young. He started He's better
known over there as the duck Whisperer because as a

(11:20):
teenager he's now in his twenties, he started building and
installing wood duck boxes around the lake. And he's done
I think hundreds now at this point, with a lot
of help from a lot of friends and volunteers and
people who've donated stuff. But he just started to be
a cool idea to help these wood ducks. I saw
something the other day when I was out bass fishing.

(11:41):
Actually the sun was kind of going down. And that's
early early, right just right up the crack of first light,
and late late, right up until it gets absolutely dark
is when wood ducks like to move. Now, they don't
move a whole lot after about i'll call it seven
thirty in the morning, and before probably about gosh, now

(12:04):
before eight o'clock in the evening, just right when you
can barely see. That's when wood ducks move. It's very cool.
I'm actually broadcasting live from there on Friday and then
racing straight to my team's first tea box for a
wherever we are for a one pm first shot. It'll
be close. I'll probably I'm gonna try and get over

(12:26):
there early enough to warm up a little bit, and
I'll probably be all stiffened up again after sitting in
a chair for an hour. But I got three pretty
good sticks on the team beside me, so hopefully we'll
be we'll be competitive. If you're interested, By the way,
you can sign up online at Lake Houston Sports dot
com Lakehuston sports dot com. And by the way, I
am happy to share charity golf tournaments like this with

(12:48):
my audiences on both shows. A lot of us in
this age category retired, happy to help a needy cause,
and maybe looking to play a new course once in
a while. If you if you've got hands on a tournament,
now I'm not talking about the elementary school's choir or

(13:10):
choir golf tournament. I'm talking about a little bit bigger
cause than that, something that really benefits the entire community.
I think I have to kind of stop at even
high school tournaments because there are so few people who
are genuinely involved in these things. This one over on
Lake Houston bigger in that it kind of takes care

(13:33):
of everybody who lives honor around that lake. So anyway,
if you've got a tournament, by all means, share it,
and if I can find a spot for it, I
will share it with my audiences briefly because not everyone
plays golf, but I'll toss them out there for you.
Just send me an email. Doug Pike at iHeartMedia dot com.
Same as I mentioned yesterday about about having room for

(13:55):
a couple more sponsors. This is a unique opportunity if
you're considering getting into radio radio, to be taken care
of by somebody who's who's got a stake in the
actual endorse er game. And I don't just take on anybody.
I don't just take on any company. I'm very picky

(14:17):
about the people I talked for. And so if if
you want to, if you want to try to convince
me that you and I should do some business together,
I would love to help that happen. All you got
to do is email me on that too. It's very
simple from the where are we gonna go? Oh, we
just got a couple of minutes. Let's do this. Well,
let's go to some some things that got missed when

(14:38):
when cal and oh gosh, don't tell me his name.
I'm so embarrassed. What was young man's name? Who was
in here yesterday? I don't know you weren't here. It's
a good point. I'm so embarrassed. I'll think of it.
I'll think of it, so I will give you these options.
I don't think he yeah, he didn't do these two

(15:01):
chimpanzees walk into a bar back to the ice age,
or I know we did that one. I think we
did that one, and pack rats it's do two chimpanzees
walking to a bar. It does sound like a funny
joke coming up, This is not really wild. Chimps in

(15:23):
West Africa have been observed sharing fruit that contains what
will cons.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Think?

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Think? How I think? I let this one contains bars?
Oh god, no, you're so close and you just you
just deliberately step over the answer, don't you? They contain
the fruit contains alcohol. They're getting liquored up, is what
they're doing. And they're hanging out together and just sharing
this stuff, kind of like passing around a bottle yaeger

(15:56):
when you're in I guess I don't know old enough
to drink and call at least close enough to old enough.
I went to college. I know what happens there. One more, Oh,
we almost have time for two more? Or I could
come in. I'll tell you this one I found interesting,
and I'm not gonna bother you with it, will uh,

(16:17):
But you should listen. It's interesting. Eighty three year old
woman in Colorado got to fulfill her lifelong dream of
what Will, I'll bring you in for a pop quiz.
Got lifelong dream man, life long dream of climbing to
the top of the rocky mountains. Well that's a great guess, Will,

(16:38):
but it's wrong. She wanted to drive a race car
on an actual NASCAR track. She started on Thursday afternoon,
and she should be coming around the final turn about
now you get that, Will, No, it's driving really really
slow because she's eighty three three Will, And she started

(17:02):
on Thursday last week, and now she's getting to the
fourth turn, coming around looking for the checkered flag. Have
you ever driven in a race car, really fast race car? No,
I have been. I had. I was over in where is.
It's one of the big super speedway in either North

(17:24):
or South Carolina. I can't remember which, but it was many,
many years ago, and I had an opportunity to go
out to that racetrack at the invitation of my hosts
and get a ride in one of those cars with
a real driver driving it. And let me tell you

(17:45):
that wall, they they drive really fast right up next
to the wall. I'm talking. We were doing. I want
to say, I don't know one hundred and seventy five
hundred and eighty miles an hour, and it is a
it's a really exhillient rating experience, to say the least.
And those cars have incredible acceleration. Not F one class,

(18:09):
but NASCAR cars aren't supposed to be F one class.
They're supposed to be different, and they're loud and they're
fun and I had a blast. I think we did
like three laps at good speed. All right, we got
to take you a little break, come into the pits
for a minute, as it were. And I'll tell you
about the Institute on Aging out there at ut Health.
This is that group of more than a thousand providers

(18:32):
who have devoted themselves to adding a little bit more
knowledge to their knowledge bank what got them that diploma
on the wall, and so that they can apply their
expertise to seniors, more specifically to seniors who have exactly
what they studied. But because we're different than other people,

(18:52):
than younger people, it was to our benefit and to
theirs to learn just how the works in geriatric medicine.
And for seniors, you don't have to be ninety to
be seen by one of these people. I think my
age group. Actually, I was talking to doctor Nayak, who
runs the Institute on Aging. Just this past week about this,

(19:15):
and he's fifty plus is about in the wheelhouse when
you really start having to think about kind of getting
a specialist for you. And that's what you can find
at the Institute on Aging's website, along with hundreds of
resources that are available to you and very helpful to
you and anybody else who's in our age category. If

(19:35):
you are one of the great young people younger adults
who is listening on behalf of your parents or grandparents.
By the way, make sure they go to this website
and if they don't know how to do that, show them.
You'll be glad you did, and so will they. Uth
dot edu slash aging, ut dot edu slash aging yell.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
They sure don't make them like they used to. That's
why every few months the wash them, check us words,
and spring on a fresh code. O wax. This is
fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, welcome back to
fifty plus. Thanks for listening. That's pretty well timed. Will
that one seemed to work. Will some songs.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Are easier to do that with than others. By the way,
from the roadblock desk comes word that President Trumps disappointed
that federal judges are slowing the process of deporting violent
criminals from our country, and including murderers, drug dealers, just
the whole thing. There are thousands of detainees awaiting deportion, deportation,

(20:40):
de portion. Where are you, my poor head, sometimes for
a variety of reasons too. But the administration faces right
now hundreds of lawsuits that are preventing our president from
removing these people who are threats to us. The Democrats
are wrapping their arms around these killers and rapists and

(21:02):
sex traffickers and portraying them somehow as worthy of the
same rights as American citizens. I don't think that they
have earned that yet. I think citizenship gets you those
rights and privileges. And case after case is just coming
up where somebody here illegally commits another violent crimer takes

(21:23):
an American's life. Anybody who's blocking the deportation of violent criminals,
the ones our president vowed to boot out first, is
endangering every single one of us. And to make that point,
I'll jump ahead a little bit and give you this

(21:45):
story from the Enough is Enough Desk word that two
illegal immigrants are charged now in the death of a
twenty three year old woman and mother in Maryland. This
is just brand new. And as if that wasn't enough,
forty three year old guy driving drunk and high in
Orange County, California at almost one hundred miles an hour.

(22:06):
Back in twenty twenty one, he was sentenced after the
incident in which two young people, a nineteen year old
young man and a nineteen year old young woman were
struck by his car and burned alive, and he got
ten years. He was back in twenty twenty one or no, well,

(22:32):
when he was sentenced he got ten years, he served
I think four maybe of that something there, And in
California he's been released from prison. He's been released and
even worse, I read California's penal system has a habit
of not cooperating with ice, which has a detainer waiting
for the guy. This guy's not a good man. He

(22:55):
was convicted of burglary in two thousand and five, vehicle
theft in two thousand and seven, battery on spouse, with
kidnapping in twenty fourteen. And if things go his way,
they've probably let him go and not told anybody where
to find him. That would be a California thing. I think,

(23:15):
especially with their track record. It's just very frustrating to
watch this happen and watch it unfold in our country
with the impact that this horrible, horrible experiment the Biden
administration put on us to let ten million people into
the country. Ten million people into the country, and there's

(23:38):
I mean, there's just example after example of what's going
on that really kind of burns me up. Honestly, ten
million people, and now his party is demanding that every
one of these people who is here illegally and needs
and for whatever reasons, needs deporting, not all ten million. Clearly,

(24:00):
some of those people are good people. Some of those
people are here to try to better their lives and
willing to go through the process. But most not, well,
not even most, I would hope, not even most are
just kind of job in the system. These are individuals.

(24:20):
By the way, that what the Dems are doing is
saying that they have to have individual hearings each of
these people, millions of these people, individual hearings. This is
a line of people that I read this morning that
if you stood them, single file, single file line would

(24:42):
stretch from New York to Los Angeles. That's how many
people they want to get individual hearings, and that task
would likely take more than a single century, which means
it will never happen. And those people would, if they're
not deported, be allowed to stay here indefinitely, because after all,

(25:03):
they haven't had their hearing yet, which is exactly what
the Democrats want, because they see these people as easily
persuaded voters, which is that's the endgame for them. They
want to get the right to vote for this bunch.
And never mind that former Presidents Clinton, Obama, and even
Biden all deported illegals, and nobody demanded that those people

(25:24):
get individual hearings. Nobody banged a tambourine or flew across
the country or across half the world to talk about
getting somebody out after they were ousted. A majority of
Americans want illegal immigrants out of our country. Every poll
that's been taken since the election says that, and still

(25:46):
this group is fighting it. My biggest issue is the
number of illegals who are getting benefits now, They're receiving
benefits supposedly reserved for American citizens. Those just turning it
up all over the country. They're finding illegals on the
roster's Medicaid Medicare, social Security all over the place, and
a lot of these people have been getting paid for

(26:07):
quite a long time while not contributing a dime to
the system because they're really not really in the system
except under a number and an identity that gets them
a check. It's kind of crazy, which means a whole
lot less money for us and free money for them.
I don't like that at all. From the Good One

(26:28):
Liner Desk. From the Good one Liner Desk, during a
story about how Democrat politicians are flying to El Salvador
to meet with the man, they put on a frankly
a pretty shaky pedestal, Greg Guttfeld said, I haven't seen
Dems this excited to travel since Epstein's Island. I kind

(26:50):
of like that line. That's pretty good. All right, Well
back to you. Are you ready? Can you handle it? Well? Hello? Yes?
Thirty seconds? National What day? Today? Will National beagle Day? Now?
Come on? National cherry Cheesecake Day. And by the way,

(27:15):
that cheesecake factory started in the late seventies. But you
know who was eating cheesecakes long before that, you well
and me, Yeah, the Romans. They've been eating cheesecakes. According
to everything they look at since two thousand BC, that's

(27:36):
a long time to eat cheesecake. I wonder if it'd
be any good still if they kept it in the freezer.
We'll take a little break here. We'll be right back
more fifty plus after this, what's life without a net?
If I suggest to go to bed, sleep it off.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Just wait until the show's over, sleepy Back to Doug
Pike as fifty plus continues.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Oh, welcome back. Fourth and final segment of the program
starts right now. Holy cal this one went pretty fast.
Will would you agree to disagree or neutral? I'm gonna say
neutral this time. Does that mean you weren't paying attention?

Speaker 3 (28:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Sure? Yeah? How long ago? Will? Did the Romans eat cheesecake?
Two thousand years ago? Okay, all right, you got that
one right. It probably because it was about cheesecake, cherry
cheesecake or something else.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
I like cherry, I like strawberry, I like blueberry.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I like all the berries. What about the like a
chocolate swirl or chocolate chip cheesecake? You like chocolate with it? Sure,
that's some good stuff there. How many flavors of cheesecake
factory cheesecake have you eaten? Would you say over the
course of your life. Zero zero. You've never had it.
I've never been to the factory. You know, the factory.

(28:50):
If it didn't have such a big, long menu, I
think it would be I would have less of a
problem figuring out what I want to eat in there.
But it's it's like opening an old fast phone book.
Have you ever seen a phone book? Will? Yes, Doug,
we were a pretty young guy. I didn't know. I
didn't know you are you. I'm not talking about the
one that the little list that you keep on your phone.

(29:11):
I'm talking about the Yellow Pages. Yellow Pages. You actually
remember the Yellow Pages? That's pretty good. We had one. Yeah,
we had stacks of them around the house because you
you kind of keep the old one to make sure
that something you were looking for was was still in
there and in the new one before you threw away

(29:33):
the old one. Sometimes they would take things out. This
cord on these headphones that I borrowed from somebody is
long enough to choke a giraffe. Oh my gosh, I'm
just gonna have to kind of make a big pile
on the on the console here, all right, Will, I'm
gonna I'm gonna go back to you and then I
might get to some of these other newsy type of things.

(29:55):
But I have so many kind of fun things I
want to do. It lightens, it lightens everything up to
I think is a good idea sometimes so no buns
in the oven two for one, or dying a slow death,
Dying a slow I knew you would go for that.
I know you so well. The FDA is phasing out

(30:16):
the use of artificial dies by the end of next year.
They are used in a lot of very colorful snacks
like flaming hot Cheetos, mountain dew, Baja Blast, Skittles, M
and ms. What are takis t a K I S?
What is that? It's a hot chip? Okay? Is it

(30:37):
takis or takis hoki taki with the s evenkis Yes,
it's silent, No takis plural? Pop tarts losing their color?
Kool Aid kool aid? How can you have How can
you tell the difference between cherry kool aid and grape
kool aid if there's no color in it? I don't know.
I guess by the tastes, starbars, Twinkies, airheads, Lucky charms.

(30:59):
Even Nike will is going to have to give up
its traditional green color, I guess, or the purple for
the night time or the daytime. What closed the daytime?
Niquill that the daytime one day red is orange orange orange.
Yeah yeah, and then kind of like a bluish green
for the night now, yeah yeah, that's correct. Well, thank you,

(31:22):
out you go a new kind of clutter or say cheese,
oh you go. People are divided after a mom posted
a teary eyed video I've seen it that she was
asked to leave a fancy restaurant because her toddler wouldn't

(31:43):
stay in his seat and behave himself. Clearly, I think
a toddler who hasn't probably yet heard the word no,
and it's just so please do what mommy wants you
to do. Please do this, please do that instead of
no or problems, and so she's trying to stay. She
gets a little upset. She's in the restaurant drinking with

(32:06):
her mom, having a little wine or something, I'm not
sure what, but apparently starts dropping f bombs in front
of the kid in the original video and was asked
to leave. I think I think she needs to leave
if she cannot at that point when management has to intervene.
If she can't get that kid to settle down right

(32:27):
then and there. I think it's time for her to go.
What do you think will I haven't seen the video,
but well just imagine it. Yeah, you just kick her out.
She's just being unruly. She's being unreasonable the people who
are in Now, if you're in McDonald's, okay, fair game.

(32:50):
Kids are gonna play in McDonald's. If you're going in
there expecting a candle on your white linen tablecloth, you're
in the wrong place. But if you're in the right
place for that, then you can expect everyone in there,
including children, to behave themselves and not cause a scene
and not make a lot of noise. I'm okay with them,

(33:14):
just politely and confidently asking them to leave, asking her
and her mom and her unruly toddler to leave. I
don't think just because you can go into that restaurant
doesn't mean you get to stay no matter what you do.
It's amazing how many people, I think, and it's a
it's not every generation. Certainly my generation. Man, when we

(33:36):
went to a restaurant, there was a strong warning given
before we went in there. When I was a little guy,
because I was kind of a busy young boy. Growing up,
I was active, and I would get the look from
mom and from Dad sitting in the front seat. They'd
turn around when we pulled in front of I think
it was Felix's Mexican restaurant up there, Biscinet and that

(33:59):
Bisonet triangle, pretty sure that was the name of it.
And man, they'd turn around and say, Okay, we're going
in the restaurant. Now behave yourselves, and there was just
that air of them saying, I don't want to have
to say this again. I don't want to have to now.
If you've got a little bitty when in a carrier

(34:22):
or something, some little kid who doesn't really understand any
of that, and you can walk them outside, let them
cry on your shoulder for a minute, and then when
they calm down, come back in. That's okay. I had
to do that a few times with my son. Let
my wife sit in there and eat dinner, and we
took turns when it was if he was acting up
a little bit, I'd carry him out on my shoulder

(34:42):
and just walk him around and show him some birds
and let him pull a leaf off a tree or
something like that, and then we'd go back in there.
But for what they were doing, I think that was
kind of messed up. Messed up. Uh well, oh we
did that one yesterday. That a very interesting one too.
You missed a good one about dogs. I wish you

(35:03):
had been here. I would have I would have welcomed
your input on this, but but you know, it's just past.
The moment has passed. Well, a new kind of clutter.
See cheese or meat lockers say cheese. That's a pretty
easy one. People on social media are so crazy about protein.

(35:25):
This little story said that they're snacking on wedges of
parmesan cheese. I know if if you were says here.
Experts say that parmesan's solid protein source, but it also
has a lot of fat and sodium, so good and
bad tomato, well, not tomato tomato, more of like a

(35:47):
yes and no, no, a ying and a yang, good
and bad and everything right. Would you if you were
gonna sit around and eat on chunks of cheese all
day though, would it be parmesan? Really? No, not a chance.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
No.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I wouldn't go for a hard cheese. I'd go for
a soft. I would just get a big old block
of cheddar. And knowing that like a squirrel. I would
definitely get Gouda. Man, that's just Ronnie cheese. It's pretty soft. Yeah,
it's a soft cheese, kind of like not never mine.
It's a soft cheese. Indeed it is. I'm I'm not

(36:20):
a fan of Gouda. I'm good with I'm going with
American white and yellow. I'm good with Cheddar, I'm good with.
Name a couple more that i'd probably recognize, and I
can tell you whether I like.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
What about a breezy a blue cheese, Yes, oh yeah,
on a wedge of lettuce with a little bacon, with
a little couple of little tomatoes.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
So the best thing in the world. Would you just
eat a chunk of cheese? Yeah, I'd wrap it in lettuce. No, no, no, no,
just just buy and no no, I don't like it
that much. Whatever makes it creamy and delicious that needs

(37:07):
to come with it too, because I think just the
chunk of cheese would be pretty gnartly. All right, twenty seconds,
twenty seconds, that's all. I was going to give you
a real funny story that my dad told years and
years ago. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. We are out
of here. Thank you all so much for listening. I'll
talk to you tomorrow. Audios
