Remember when it was impossible to misplace the TV remote
2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:11.160
because you were the TV remote. Remember when music sounded
3
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:17.440
like this, Remember when social media was truly social?
4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:18.879

14
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.759
Thank you all for listening. I certainly do appreciate it.
15
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:05.519
For some reason my opening remarks that the notes I
16
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.959
took for that did not print on the printer. So
17
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.599
that's okay, we'll get through it. Not a big deal.
18
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:16.799
Thank you appreciate that. Will We have two good interviews
19
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.519
coming up, By the way, we have Chris Leavie Laverer.
20
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.760
Excuse me, he is HPD. I for sure want to
21
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.159
get that name right. He and I are going to
22
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.719
talk about a baseball game coming up in early September,
23
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.319
not Astros, not Little League World Series. We'll talk about
24
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.519
that around twelve thirty and then before that, and this
25
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:39.879
one's going to be interesting. Will you ever eate any bugs?
26
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:42.640
Yes?
27
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:44.040
Have you really seriously?
28
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:51.359
Yeah, wintle, Yeah, crickets, larvae.
29
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:57.400
Larvae, You never ate larvae anything? No, you did not win, Yeseri,
30
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.680
great New Mexico. How how were they served a meal
31
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.159
or just dig them up out of the ground.
32
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.120
And no, they saw them in little boxes, you know,
33
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.360
cricket fish bait will crickets, Yeah, crickets, larvae, all that.
34
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.680
Yeah, earthworms had them in there too. In that same store.
35
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.319
You've seen fishing rods in the store. Maybe No, it
36
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.960
was not fishing, Yeah it was. It was. They didn't
37
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.599
tell you. In New Mexico. Yeah, I fished in New Mexico. Absolutely,
38
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.759
in the White Mountains. Absolutely I have. Is that near it?
39
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.800
Because that's where I was. We were about as far
40
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.919
from civilization as you can get in New Mexico. We
41
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:41.280
were up high on a mountain and it had a
42
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.599
great time right up until the time came to leave
43
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.240
when our two there were This is a well, it's
44
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:51.919
not a really quick story, but I can tell it
45
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.879
as quickly as possible. So I get invited out back
46
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.719
when I was writing for the newspaper, I get invited
47
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.919
out to come sample along with three or four media people.
48
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.080
This amazing new business, this guy starting up with a
49
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.639
friend of his, where they are gonna hike you high
50
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.639
up into the mountains and then provide everything you need
51
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.599
food wise for three or four days. Everything we took
52
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.280
up there to eat, to where to sleep in. All
53
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.840
of that stuff we packed into that mountain and crossed
54
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.280
what was a pretty decent sized body or piece of
55
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.240
water moving water down below. And by the time we
56
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.560
got up to where we were going to camp, which
57
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.800
was a gorgeous campsite by the way, we finally get
58
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:40.599
up there and that that pretty robust creek is only
59
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.439
just a little dribble way up the mountain. It hasn't
60
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.199
been fed by ten or twelve other little, other little
61
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.520
tiny dribbles. So we stayed there. The water, the weather's great.
62
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:55.199
The first three nights were there. The last night were there, however,
63
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.919
a storm came in and there was discussion around dinner
64
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.159
before it started raining about how we would get out.
65
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.560
He said, don't worry. We've never not been able to
66
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.840
get out of here. We've camped up here a thousand
67
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.639
times and we've never had any problems getting out. Well,
68
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.720
it rained all night, and by all night, I mean
69
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:22.079
all night, and in the morning, that little dribble of
70
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:27.680
a creek that was gently moving past our tents through
71
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:32.560
the night was a raging river. It was about Instead
72
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.720
of being about ten or twelve feet wide, it was
73
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.680
about thirty or forty feet wide, and it was humming
74
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.759
down that mountain. The guy wakes up, he said, we're
75
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.000
still fine, don't worry. Never had a problem getting out
76
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.560
of here. So we all break camp. We pack up.
77
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.839
The rain has stopped now, but it's muddy in all directions,
78
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.879
and everybody loads their gear onto their backs. He puts
79
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.920
one foot and his walking stick into that water and says,
80
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.120
we're not going to be able to get out this way, Like, oh, really, really,
81
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.120
we're not. So what's the alternative?
82
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:07.360
Then?
83
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.639
Do you have a helicopter in this operation? He said,
84
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.920
We're just gonna have to go. Hold on a minute,
85
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.240
he says, So he and his buddy go back over
86
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.519
to a flat spot somewhere and spread out a map,
87
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.839
a topo map, and they plotted a trail that got
88
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.600
us out by going up an additional four hundred vertical
89
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.959
feet and around to the back of the mountain and
90
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.839
then back down that way to the only road within
91
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.240
fifty miles of this place. Probably only where we came
92
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.480
out on. The road was about five or six miles
93
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.720
from where we had left our vehicle, so we had
94
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.920
to pack that out too. It was some needless to say,
95
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.639
I came home and I got a good story out
96
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.879
of it because it was a lot of fun and
97
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:03.079
it was really a beautiful place. Their operation ran smoothly
98
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.560
right up until that time that they had to figure
99
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.439
out how to get us out of there, which they
100
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.600
never had to do, and they should have planned for that.
101
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:15.439
And I'm pretty confident that business didn't make it beautiful place,
102
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.199
though I'm sure other people have camped up there and
103
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.800
then just tickled pink. But it was tough, and we
104
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.480
did eat some delicious fresh rainbow trout. By the way,
105
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.120
that's my fishing experience in New Mexico. Will carried a
106
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.639
fly right up there, had a blast. That was one
107
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.959
of my first fly fishing experiences as well. All right,
108
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.680
so moving forward, I got boy, there's a couple of
109
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.800
things I can go to that I needed to get
110
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.160
to yesterday and didn't get to. Let's just try this.
111
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.360
Oh no, I already talked about that. I'm gonna talk
112
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.879
Let's do this will Oh, this is a good one.
113
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.399
This is a good one. How much time do I have?
114
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:53.399
About a minute and a half. You have about a
115
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.120
minute minute. I'll go fast on this, and then I'll
116
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.560
go during the break and take care of some business. Building,
117
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.079
thanks in part to a three D printer in Maine,
118
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.600
is about to change. I would believe I can't help
119
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.160
but feel pretty confident that this is going to really
120
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.000
catch on. What they're creating is these very cool wooden
121
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:20.560
cabins from sawdust in a special three D printer that
122
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:26.480
turns it into reliable building material, very available byproduct of
123
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.040
the forest industry, the lumber industry. Up there machine is
124
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.680
the largest of its kind and capable of turning out
125
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.439
a six hundred square foot home. All the parts you
126
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.000
need for that, I guess, except to bring a screwdriver
127
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.720
in some nails and stuff. Ninety six feet long, thirty
128
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.560
six feet wide, eighteen feet tall. Current timeline to print
129
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.600
the parts and connect them is somewhere between around eighty
130
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.199
four to ninety six hours somewhere in there. The company's
131
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.040
goal that was back in twenty twenty two their goal,
132
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.120
and they're getting closer every pretty much every time they
133
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.279
make another fine tuning adjustment to the machinery. Their goal
134
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.839
is to be able to print all that stuff to
135
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.040
make that pretty cool six hundred square foot little cabin
136
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:14.000
in the woods in two days, in two seconds, I
137

of the summer so far. In this segment, we're gonna

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.519
talk about the food we eat, and this is gonna
158
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:36.120
be a little different, the foods that some people think
159
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.440
we should be eating more often. And I'm not talking
160
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.039
about nutritional value, although there is great nutritional value actually
161
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.080
without giving it away, giving away the surprise, just shit.
162

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:12.679
more often.
171
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.559
Well, it's surprising that you can eat insects at some
172
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.600
of the restaurants in Houston and Fort Worth in Austin.
173
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.279
So this is one of those surprising things that if
174
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.440
you like Mexican food, well, have some cata. I think
175
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.840
it's grasshoppers with your guacamole at some of these restaurants.
176
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.960
You never And there's an ant moley sauce at one
177
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.759
of those restaurants Houston. So yeah, and apparently I don't
178
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.639
know a whole lot about this, but Soocie also has
179
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.440
something related to worms that you can get, So you know,
180
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.919
if you're into that sort of thing, it's it's it's
181
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:51.159
really terrific because it's authentic Mexican food. This is how
182
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.159
Mexican people have been living for years. So if you
183
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.000
want to go for authentic Mexican food, you can go
184
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.039
with insects. They have a little crust, a little bit flavor.
185
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.240
But you know, what we think of as text mechs
186
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.919
not quite so ecius with insects. Yeah.
187
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.519
Text mex has always been a little bit watered down
188
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.480
version of Mexican food. And anybody who's actually been deep
189
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.240
into Mexico for any reason and stayed long enough to
190
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.320
go into a restaurant somewhere knows that it is different,
191
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.960
and I like both sides of it. I do. But
192
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.279
we're talking about bugs here, Jeff. We're talking about these creepy,
193
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.360
crawley little things that are actually just like you said,
194
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.960
they're finding their way into restaurants. Now, what would you
195
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.000
say about how many Americans would you guess regularly include
196
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:38.519
bugs in their diets?
197
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:42.480
Now, I would think there's very few, But they do
198
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.000
it in ways that you might not think of. If
199
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.799
you can't see the legs and wings of the crickets
200
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:52.200
or grasshoppers, it's a little easier to have cricket flowers have.
201
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:57.360
You know, there is actually a cricket protein drink mix
202
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.399
that's made in Austin, and it's hor shot of flavor.
203
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.320
Of course, it's made in Austin's Jeff. But that's okay.
204
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.639
But what I'm surprised about is that Fort Worth has
205
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.039
a Mexican restaurant that's serving up you know, canterpillars and
206
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.639
grasshoppers and you know, just these kind of things that
207
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.679
you wouldn't normally expect. Of course, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin,
208
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.919
it's it's it's in many places across the state. It's
209
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.440
authentic Mexican. It apparently is also authentic tie, some Japanese
210
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.039
and some African cuisine, but all I could find in
211
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.559
Texas was this is predominantly at authentic Mexican restaurants.
212
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.000
We are we're at the very beginning really of this
213
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.720
infusion into everyday life. I can remember as a little kid,
214
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.159
and we're talking sixty years ago, okay, there was a
215
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.679
Sears store close to home, and we would go into Sears,
216
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.120
and my little sister and I would run over to
217
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.639
this one little area where they had some sort of
218
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.559
bizarre foods from around the world or whatever, and you
219
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.679
could get chocolate covered Rick. It's her chocolate covered ants.
220
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.159
And we just thought that was yicky and ucky. But
221
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.480
it's it's moving into the main stream, isn't it.
222
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.480
It actually is, but you know, it's inching its way,
223
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.360
much like those inch worms do into the main stream.
224
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.960
Yeah, it's gonna take a while. I saw and in
225
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.600
your in your business, you may have already seen it too,
226
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.480
a video. I don't remember where. It doesn't doesn't say
227
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.279
where it was shot, but there is a young woman
228
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.879
somewhere over in Asia, presumably because that's there were others
229
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.200
in the the scene in the restaurant. They're the same way.
230
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.320
They're all of Asian descent, it looks like. And she
231
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.320
sees a cockroach walking across her table in the little restaurant.
232
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.519
She grabs the cockroach. She lifts the top off the
233
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.360
bunt of her burger, puts the roach in there, slams
234
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:59.200
it back down, and takes a big bite. Couldn't if
235
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.759
I find it my thing?
236
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.879
Yeah? No, not my thing. But you know there's this
237
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.960
cicada Invsion with two broods all over the US. Yeah,
238
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.559
and it turns out that you can eat cicadas too.
239
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.440
I heard about the lace serving one salads.
240
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:15.440
Oh my gosh, No, I'm not doing that. I'm not
241
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.919
ready for it yet. What states people eat the most
242
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:18.919
bugs in this country?
243
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.000
Well, I guess it wouldn't be surprising, but California is
244
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:27.240
number one, New York two, North Carolina three, Minnesota four,
245
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:30.919
Florida five. Texas is number eleven eleven.
246
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.720
I saw, I saw the bottom five. I was hoping
247
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.279
we would be like forty three or forty four. Not
248
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:38.679
so much.
249
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.320
Well, you know, when you look at the when you
250
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.679
look at the bottom five, Alaska doesn't surprise me because
251
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.879
their insects are going to be frozen, So you know,
252
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.320
not not a big thing there. Yeah, which reminds me
253
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.919
I got suckers years ago from my nephews because they
254
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.879
had bugs in them and you know these kind of things,
255
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:00.919
so you know, I mean it was just more of
256
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.080
a fascinating thing to surprise them with. But you can
257
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.159
still get those out there. But d C was actually
258
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.720
at the bottom. But that's because there is like a
259
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.159
ban on a hunting for like roadkill and like you know,
260
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.240
wildlife spec and networt of thing. I think the gun
261
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.320
band is basically because of you know, Congress and you know,
262
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.600
lawmaker song and sort of stuff. But that's what had
263
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.960
DC kind of at the bottom because they have restaurants
264
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:25.720
that serve insects too. It's just that we looked at
265
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.519
insects and then you know, like like wildlife that can
266
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:30.039
shoot too.
267
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.679
Oh my word. Are they available in grocery stores around
268
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:35.360
here anywhere? How do you buy them by the pound,
269
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.519
by the piece at court? What bushel basket?
270
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.440
Would you believe that? At one point, I think they
271
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.120
were in ATV stores Now that was there was one
272
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.960
of the No, there's a company that's making like all
273
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.159
these different kinds of crickets that you are chocolate flagor
274
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.519
and that sort of thing. In fact, for this story,
275
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.840
I tried tricky crickeys hot and spicy gormet roasted crickets,
276
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.480
and they surprised me. I didn't think, you know, I
277
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.159
was afraid of what, you know, they would taste like.
278
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.879
But they tasted really good. But I can't tepe as
279
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.799
the flavor or if it was the cricket itself, but
280
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.200
there was a little bit of crunch.
281
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.360
Sure, I would the difference for.
282
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.080
So many of these people who might be trying this.
283
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.679
It's pactful of protein, but you might want to do
284
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.759
a flour or something like that because you don't need
285
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.679
to see the legs and the wings or the heads.
286
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.679
So so much more tempting. And I use that word
287
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:35.039
loosely as a crunchy food than as a gooey food.
288
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:38.559
I couldn't go that exactly. Oh my gosh, right.
289
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.120
Right, yeah, no, I wouldn't want to do that at all.
290
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.519
But you know, as far as a crunchy thing, you know,
291
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.960
this worked great. I was surprised by the taste of
292
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.960
the crickets. And you know, they make in all sorts
293
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.120
of different flavors in one of these places actually was
294
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.679
in supermarkets across Texas because it was a big deal
295
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:56.559
when they reached that agreement to be able to be
296
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.360
in other places.
297
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:02.480
Is there any room that vegetarians have to follow? Can
298
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.200
they eat bugs?
299
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.480
Uh? I think so, but I'm not one.
300
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.319
Sure about that, you know, I'm not sure more they
301
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:16.000
can have all of mine. I'll tell you that. That's hilarious.
302
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.759
Do you foresee We've got to go ahead. We got
303
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:20.960
baby a minute left.
304
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.759
I did look, and you know, none of these recipes
305
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.200
involving insects were on the vegetarian mevenus of the Mexican restaurants.
306
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.640
So it's one of those crazy things that I'm not
307
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.359
one herposon sure where you would find this, but if
308
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:40.680
you go to Socia and you want the grasshoppers or
309
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.200
the crickets or the ants, they'll serve it to you.
310
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:43.640
I'm sure.
311
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.359
I'm sure.
312
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.720
I feel clearly labeled on the rest. It may not
313
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.359
be clearly labeled on the menu, but it's there and
314
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.880
you can get it there. Montros apparently has the suit.
315
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.559
You know what you know? Huh? All right, Jeff, thank
316
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:58.279
you so much, man. It's been a pleasure. Long starter
317
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.400
dot Com go there. They've got a whole big page
318
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:05.279
or two. I'm sure about eating bugs and it's it's coming.
319
00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:09.200
It's coming. Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate it, man, I.
320
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:10.039
Appreciate thanks so much.
321
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:13.880
All Right, we tell a little break here. You want
322
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.000
a cricket, I'll go get us some crickets. Well, during
323
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:21.079
a break, you tease. Institute on Aging has a number,
324
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.720
and I don't know what I need to get. I
325
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.759
need to get the number of medical providers, a number
326
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.759
of medical personnel who work with everybody else who's involved
327
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:35.359
with the Institute on Aging in providing not only advanced
328
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.519
care specifically for seniors as it relates to their areas
329
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:45.519
of expertise, but they also work on adding sources, adding information,
330
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:50.480
adding all kinds of pages to the Institute on Aging's
331
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:56.200
website so that you and I as seniors can live better, longer, healthier,
332
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.519
happier lives. And that's really what we all want to do.
333
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.680
I quality of life is very important, and at our
334
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.759
age is the quality of life depends on the quality
335
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.559
of care that we get. And when you're dealing with
336
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.480
someone who has made a conscious effort, made a concerted
337
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:18.680
effort to go back and get additional education as their
338
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:23.200
specific area applies, to seniors. You know you're going to
339
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.240
be taken care of the right way the first time
340
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.680
every time. That most of these people are in the
341
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.440
med center most of their time, but a lot of
342
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.160
these providers, a lot of them either work a few
343
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.960
days or full time in outlying areas, in hospitals and clinics.
344
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:39.960
So you don't have to go into the medical center
345
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.799
if you don't want to to see somebody from the
346
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:46.160
Institute on Aging. But man, oh man, if you can
347
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.640
get to any of them anywhere near you do it,
348
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.519
you'll be glad you did. Go to the website. Take
349
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.680
a look around uth dot edu slash aging, uth dot
350
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:01.160
edu slash aging. We all make them like they used to.
351
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:05.279
That's why every few months we wash him, check his fluids.
352
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.480
And spring on a fresh code of wax. This is
353
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:22.200
fifty plus with Doug Pike. Hi, welcome back to fifty plus.
354
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.920
Thank you for listening. Third segment starts right now. And
355
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:28.519
if you're gonna be outdoors today, by all I means
356
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.920
stay hydrated. Okay, be sure to stay hydrated. We're going
357
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:35.400
to talk in this segment speaking about door activity, about
358
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:39.680
a baseball game, not an Astros game. As I mentioned, earlier.
359
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:43.720
Not a little league game, but an annual game that
360
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:47.519
proves once and for all the sort of I guess
361
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.319
who's better at baseball? Police officers are firefighters talking about
362
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:55.880
the Battle of the Badges coming up September seven at
363
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.799
Consolation Field out in sugar Land. It's actually almost a
364
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.400
full day of activities. All go ahead and welcome in.
365
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:06.400
Chris Leaverer, HPD, Board Secretary of the Houston Police Baseball Club.
366
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:10.880
Welcome aboard, Chris. I'm doing very well. Thank you. I
367
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:12.960
appreciate that, and I appreciate what you're doing for our
368
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.799
community straight up. For I didn't want to waste another
369
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:17.960
second before I did that. All of you got, every
370
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.640
one of you who wear badges for a living. I
371
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.720
have one hundred percent respect for all of you. So
372
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:25.960
let's get to the good stuff. What was the score
373
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:26.799
last year's game?
374
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:29.640
I think it was something like eight to three.
375
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:35.160
Oh, it beat us last year. You could have said
376
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.559
anything you wanted right there. I would have backed you up.
377
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.039
I had you, man, we used it as motivation.
378
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.680
Well that's good. Yeah, firefighters got an edge from swinging
379
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.359
axes or what. You guys are probably better runners. I
380
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.079
would guess better at chasing down fly balls from chasing
381
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:50.640
bad guys.
382
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:54.079
Right, oh yeah, oh yeah, I think we got their
383
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.640
number this year. We've we've improved a ton over the
384
00:21:57.720 --> 00:21:59.799
last the course of last year, we actually won our
385
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:06.359
intermediate league championship, good for the spring season. So uh,
386
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.559
we we've improved a lot. We've improved in a lot
387
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.519
of areas. Got some younger blood in there, and I
388
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.839
think we're ready for him this year.
389
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.799
Anybody on this year's team kind of accidentally maybe every
390
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.279
now and then play a game for the Skeeters the
391
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.960
old Space Cowboys.
392
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:22.599
No, no, we don't have anybody like that.
393
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:23.519
No, sir.
394
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:28.119
Man, that'd be awesome. We have some guys that can
395
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:32.920
that can helmet throw some heat. But uh oh yeah, no,
396
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:35.440
we got we got some good pitching. Good pitching, upgraded
397
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:39.200
our pitching upgraded, some of our hitting. Some positions we
398
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.519
got filled with some younger younger, like I said, younger
399
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:43.720
guys in there that can actually play the game a
400
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:45.799
little bit better and they're more familiar with the game.
401
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:47.400
So it's uh, I'm excited.
402
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.920
I was gonna ask, but from that answer right there,
403
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.279
I already know you guys take this pretty seriously, don't.
404
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.319
You well, we're playing in a tournament as well in
405
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:01.200
Chicago into September. It's the World Series for First Responders teams,
406
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.839
so we're trying to compete in that and hopefully win
407
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.200
that as well. But be nice to start off by
408
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:11.920
going out there and beating the firefighters, you know, September seventh.
409
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.119
A little warm up for you.
410
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.279
Huh oh yeah, we're actually we got a tune up
411
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:18.279
game this Saturday as well.
412
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:20.039
You're playing Dallas FT.
413
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:23.680
That's gonna be out in San Jacino's Cinder Center College
414
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.960
Field off a Uvaldy Road. Yes, sir, And it's just
415
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.240
a tune up game. It's open to whoever wants to come,
416
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:32.519
but it's just kind of more of a tune up
417
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.240
game for us and for them. We're playing HFD at
418
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.400
nine am and then we're playing Dallas Fire Department after
419
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:40.200
that at noon.
420
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.440
Fantastic Crystal Vera on fists plus here. As I mentioned
421
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.000
at the top, there's a lot more to this day
422
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:47.440
than just the baseball game.
423
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:47.680
Right.
424
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.519
You got a hot dog eating contest too, don't you.
425
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:54.160
Oh yeah, there's it's gonna gonna fireworks hot dog eating contests.
426
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.000
It's a whole big thing. I mean, that full concessions
427
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.960
this year. It's it's gonna be a lot of fun.
428
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.839
Bring the whole family. I mean, it's a play of
429
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:06.920
stuff for the kids to do out there at Constanation Field.
430
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.480
It's a beautiful part. No doubt. Anybody on your team
431
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:11.920
also doing the hot dog eating or are they separate
432
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:12.799
saporate moves?
433
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:14.960
It's gonna be separate. I think we're gonna hunt. I
434
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.039
think it just yeah, we thought about using one of
435
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.359
our guys, but he.
436
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:23.359
A degree.
437
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.640
He's about sixteen eighteen hot dogs in his belly.
438
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:29.920
We joked about using one guy on the team, but
439
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.880
now using I think, yeah.
440
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.440
Let it sit there, Chris, let it sit there. So
441
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.519
how do you had we get from there to a
442
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:42.799
tug of war between all four branches of our military
443
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.240
to well, we don't have a coast guard branch, but
444
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:47.200
I don't know, I don't know what they bring. So
445
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.480
you got the Army, the Navy, the Marines, and the
446
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.880
Air Force teaming up for a tug of war. Whose
447
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.359
idea was that that's kind of cool?
448
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:58.079
I think that was going to be Nick Sullivan, our presidents.
449
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:02.119
He's I think he's excellent, and he's kind of bringing
450
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:04.720
that in he saw trying different stuff, and we're trying
451
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.160
different stuff this year and seeing what works, what doesn't,
452
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:09.759
that kind of thing. We're still new at this. This
453
00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:13.160
is only our second ever, I think HFD verse.
454
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:15.039
Yeah, that's what I read.
455
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:17.799
So this is only the second time we've done it
456
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.200
where we plan on improving every year.
457
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.039
So well, anything that I can do to help you
458
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.839
guys improve that, just ask please. I'm dead serious about that.
459
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:29.599
Chris overly in absolutely funny games, which you're also going
460
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.240
to be out there to kind of just recognize every
461
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.240
first responder and and the military. Who who originally came
462
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:38.920
up with this idea? Was it a group of people
463
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.720
or just that one you were mentioning it?
464
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.839
Mainly it was for the baseball team. Nick kind of
465
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.799
got everything started for us. And then the nine to
466
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.680
eleven game we played last year on nine to eleven,
467
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.200
and so we turned it into the Battle of the
468
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.880
bad Is Heroes game around nine to eleven, and we're
469
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:57.759
doing it on a Saturday this year. I think last
470
00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.680
year was on a Monday.
471
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.319
Saturday's get a better crowd, right.
472
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:04.440
Well, that's that was kind of the idea behind it,
473
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.440
And like I said, it was also it's a heroes
474
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:09.240
game and we've turned it into the Heroes Battle of
475
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:13.240
the Badgers game now and but we yeah, we kind
476
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:14.519
of got to start with nine to eleven game.
477
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.839
So back to the baseball game. Or these is the
478
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:20.160
HFD team just a tomato can just in your way
479
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:22.480
till you get to the playoffs and all or or
480
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.599
do they have some talent too?
481
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.599
No, there, they got some talented guys on that team.
482
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.720
I'm looking for the guys who are in the fire department.
483
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.599
And if they're listening right now, they're they're probably pretty
484
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:34.119
mad at me for saying I want to just said,
485
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.400
but it's all in fun and it's a great idea. Now,
486
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.279
I'm thrilled that you guys are doing this. If you had,
487
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:43.640

488
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:45.640
of a flyer or poster that you could send me
489
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:47.319
so I could put it at my Facebook page for you.
490
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.759
Absolutely, we've got a flyer with the QR codes on it,
491
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:54.319

492
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:56.240

493

500
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:16.160
It's twenty dollars to get in.
501
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.680

a donation to what you guys are doing.
503
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.720
Right, correct, that's all proceeds, yes sir.
504
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.200
Yeah, just be sure to remind them at the door
505
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:29.519
that hey, this is for something else. If you've got
506
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:30.559
more than twenty bucks on.
507
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.000
You, the tone me up absolutely now.
508
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.319
Yeah, it's not the maximum amount, right.
509
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:41.119
Yes, sir. Goodness is all charity everything. We're not getting
510
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:43.599
paid anything for this game. It's all charity.
511
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:47.559
So well, we are getting paid by every one of
512
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.839
you who put that uniform on every morning. And I
513
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.279
deeply appreciate what you do for us. I really do.
514
00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:58.160
When I got the I think it was two days ago,
515
00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:01.480
I got the information on this thing, and I responded
516
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.599
within probably two minutes. It just said, yeah, just tell
517
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:06.920
me what I gotta do, Chris, thank you. I hate
518
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:08.480
to tell you, but we're out of time, my friend.
519
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.079
Yeah, I just got a call for it. Might have
520
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:12.720
to be going out the door here in just a second,
521
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.519
but yeah, I appreciate, Hey, I appreciate everything you've done
522
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:15.799
for us.
523
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.039
Here.
524
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:17.720
I'm gonna get with Nick and we're going to get
525
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.480
you the flyer and the website.
526
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.160
You got it. Thank you so much, thank you, sir, Yes,
527
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.880
sir audios A polite young man. That is right there.
528
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:30.079
Huh Bron's Roofing, Skeeter Braun, that's my guy. Skeeter and
529
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.519
I have known each other for my goodness, eighteen twenty years,
530
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.240
I don't know. He's been helping me out with any
531
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.720
and every issue I've ever had with a roof. He
532
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:40.920
helped my mom, he helped my mother in law. He
533
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.960
has helped many friends of mine around the neighborhood, friends
534
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.880
in their neighborhoods. And the reason Braun's Roofing has been
535
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:52.440
in business for more than thirty years is very simple.
536
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:57.039
Quality work at a fair price. Quality work at a
537
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:59.880
fair price. It doesn't come down to anything other than that.
538
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.079
And reliability. There's that one too. He doesn't mention that
539
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.880
in his bold little statement there about quality work at
540
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.720
a fair price. But reliability is something else that is
541
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.960
lacking in some parts of the roofing industry. And if
542
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:17.920
you wonder about that, anytime there's a storm that comes
543
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.119
through here, just count the cards and flyers that get
544
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.400
stuck on your front door. There's a lot of that.
545
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:28.200
Anybody who has any knowledge of roofing suddenly becomes the
546
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:31.759
guy who wants to fix your house, and whether they
547
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:34.160
go up on your roof or not, they just want
548
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.400
to work with you. But the better way to do
549
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:38.799
that is to get with a reliable company like Bronze.
550
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.279
Let them come out and give you a free inspection.
551
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.279
You call them today, they'll probably be there by tomorrow
552
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.039
at the latest. They're really good about getting next day
553
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.640
and even sometimes same day inspections so that you can
554
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:54.200
find out if there is anything wrong with your roof,
555
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:58.200
and if there is, you can get it fixed. Commercial
556
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:04.440
residential tile, asphalt steal, shingle, Bronze has you covered. They'll
557
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:06.160
tell you what it's gonna cost to fix your roof
558
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.200
if there's a problem. If there's no problem, they'll just say,
559
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:10.200
see it will be back in a couple of years.
560
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.559
If there is a problem, you'll know exactly what it is,
561
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.480
how much it costs to fix what materials they'll use,
562
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.359
how much time it'll take the cost all of that.
563
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.799

570

Pike as fifty plus continues.
571
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:54.680
BLI welcome back on to the final segment now starting
572
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:58.200
up on fifty plus. Hope you enjoyed that conversation, well,
573
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:02.920
both conversations really, for with Jeff Herman about eating crickets
574
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:06.279
and other bugs and whatever else crawls out. You know,
575
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.039
you know how we could make a fortune. Will mosquito soup?
576
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.359
Mosquito soup killing two birds with one stone be rich
577
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.799
in protein? Think about I don't know, you'd have to
578
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.960
be willing to eat a little blood maybe somebody else's.
579
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.839
That'd be kind nasty. Though, let's back off of that one.
580
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:24.599
It's pump the breek. We got to come up with
581
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:28.640
a bug, a bug money maker. There's gotta be bag
582
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:33.160
in bugs. You know, there's gotta be think it over.
583
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:39.200
We'll come up with something peanut butter with what could
584
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:44.960
what bug would pair well with peanut butter? Roaches, No, no,
585
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.079
I'm not. I'm not gonna eat a roach. I don't
586
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:49.680
care how deep you fry a roach. I'm not eating that.
587
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:50.519
Come.
588
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:54.920
No, that's nasty. Will And I guess the frying process
589
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.720
would kill anything that's on it or in it. Maybe
590
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:01.599
wouldn't it, shouldn't it? Sure? I don't know. I can't
591
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.359
I'm not there yet. And even Jeff conceded that it's
592
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:10.680
what maybe five percent of the country. Now, the farther
593
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:14.359
you get out of this country and over toward the east,
594
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:18.759
the more consumption of insects there is. But I gotta
595
00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:22.240
get all. It's lunchtime. I forgot about that. Uh, I'll
596
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.400
go back to my first couple of pages, the little
597
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:26.319
notes I had put together earlier. And by the way,
598
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:28.799
we've got to do the weather forecast in highkup. We've
599
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:30.160
got to do highs and lows and haig kup. We
600
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.880
haven't done that yet.
601
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:39.000
So it's over. No, it's not passed. How no, you
602
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:39.519
missed it.
603
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:45.880
Oh, I'm reviving it from Air Texas into air quality
604
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:49.920
Specialist because cleaner air is healthier air. Pound two fifty
605
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:52.160
say healthy air. There you go, all right, you ready,
606
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.079
all right? It could be hotter, relief nearing, but no rain.
607
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:04.119
Just more the same, just more of the same. It's good.
608
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:06.160
So you're gonna give me another six? Is that what
609
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.240
you're telling me? Where are you going with that one?
610
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:14.920
Then that's uh just seven point one? Really, yeah, it's good.
611
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.920
I gotta figure out how to how you're judging these oh,
612
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:23.119
okind okay, I'm learning. I'm learning it. And it served
613
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:25.039
its purpose. There the markets, by the way, courtesy of
614
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.920
Houston Gold Exchange, they weren't doing much of anything. At
615
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.759
eleven thirty goal was down like five bucks, but still
616
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:35.039
about twenty five hundred and forty dollars, which, by the way,
617
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:39.200
I saw a note for the first time, for the
618
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:43.000
first time, A bar of gold is worth more than
619
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:47.519
a million dollars. A bar of gold is four hundred
620
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:53.000
troy ounces. Four hundred times twenty five hundred is a
621
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:56.519
million dollars. And so that little extra, the extra thirty
622
00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:58.440
bucks an ounce, will let me get you another twelve
623
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:03.000
grand something like that. Not bad not bad money now
624
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:04.640
All I did have to do is get some bars
625
00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:09.000
of gold and take advantage of that oil, doing exactly
626
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:11.480
what I predicted it was gonna do month ago, months
627
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:16.400
months ago, and falling in advance of the election. Imagine
628
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:18.719
that it was down to seventy two to thirty five
629
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:21.960
something like that at the bottom of the eleven o'clock hour.
630
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.440
We're not gonna have to wait long before the left
631
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:27.199
starts taking credit for that too, you know, taking credit
632
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.599
for lower prices on gas, the same price as that.
633
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.679
It was the Biden Harris administration that made them skyrocket.
634
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.360
But you won't hear that part of it. Quickly to
635
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:42.800
Chicago too, because this warrants mentioned protesters there clashed with
636
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:47.360
the police yesterday. Several people got arrested and did and
637
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.800
said something that really concerned me. These bear in mind,
638
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.960
these aren't Republicans who dislike Harris or Biden or anybody
639
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:59.119
in that whole crew. These are anti Israel Democrats who
640
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:01.559
don't think they're party is doing it right in the
641
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:05.599
Middle East. And when one of them set fire to
642
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:12.039
an American flag, a reporter said, don't burn the American flag.
643
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:17.320
In that protester's response, if this country burn it down.
644
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.519
That should concern us all frankly, that there are people
645
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:26.400
like that who think it's okay. I'm all for free speech,
646
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:32.159
but I do also believe that this country isn't really
647
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:33.960
going to be able to move forward in any direction
648
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.840
with people like that out there. And make no mistake,
649
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:39.360
they will vote left because they know which way Harrison
650
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:44.519
and Walls both lean and the way they'll quickly fall
651
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:48.320
hard left if they get elected. Also within the crowd
652
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.320
of protesters has been the occasional Hama's flag too, which
653
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:55.039
that's also kind of scary. And by the way, Kamala
654
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:59.000
Harris is now mandated that everyone working on her campaign
655
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:04.960
where masks. That's a hint and that's a little bitty
656
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:08.320
hint at the level of control she likes to push
657
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:11.400
down people's throats. If you're gonna work on her campaign,
658
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:14.119
you have to wear a mask. Let's see if she
659
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.880
always wears a mask while she's campaigning. I'll be curious
660
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:19.840
to see that one of those good for thee but
661
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:23.119
not for me rules. I think that come up. Uh,
662
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:25.639
the DNC speeches have gone the same way they're always
663
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:28.679
gonna go. I got more. We'll talk about that. Oh,
664
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:31.360
I got a great baldness fix too. For tomorrow. We
665
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.039
't's talk about that. Then we'll grow some hair tomorrow. Audios.
