The Winds of Change are here

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This taking care of what a glorious morning. By the way,
as I roll up and get fully officially set up
for this, I don't know who was in here yesterday afternoon.
They changed a bunch of things on this console. I
hate that, and I'm sure they hate it when they
come in and I've been working in here. We all
do it differently, but I wanted to well. First of all,

(00:22):
the wind finally started blowing yesterday afternoon, and it kept blowing,
at least around my house. It really jacked up pretty
good enough that it was pushing trash cans. These are
the big green ones with the wheels on them, and
we got one recycle bin and one regular trash can

(00:44):
and quick sidebar. From what I've learned about where recycling
stuff goes, it almost doesn't matter. But that's a story
for a different show.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Maybe.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
The bottom line is it blew pretty hard yesterday afternoon.
It really did. And the farther you went north, and
let's just say north, the harder it seemed to blow.
It really didn't start up nearly as early as everybody
had predicted the night before and the day before that,
but it was a very windy afternoon and if you

(01:16):
got out and managed to do something fun with the
family and didn't get blown off your feet. Congratulations. I
did a little yard work yesterday, and honestly, my back's
a little bit sore. This morning. I did a lot
of hedge trimming. All these things are kicking in now
that spring has sprung. And speaking of, we've got I

(01:37):
don't know four or five six beautiful days coming up.
I was looking a hold on, I've got the where
is that mouse? I put it in my pocket to
bring it over here. I have to get it out
of there. I have to put it over here on
this little mouse pad. I'll go back to the forecast
because I want to be official with it. You know
how picky I am about wather. If you ever, if
you listen to fifty plus, you know that I look

(01:58):
at it well. I look at it more than once
a day, and I look at longer term forecasts just
for giggles. I don't trust anything out past about three days.
But right now, from now through negative for the entire week.
The only chance of rain, allegedly, and you may get

(02:20):
some at your house and I may not get some
at mine, or vice versa. The only chance for rain
is Wednesday, and that chance is ten percent. That is
the only real presip that's that's even in the cards
for us for a whole week. The highest of the
highs for this whole week will be eighty if you

(02:43):
believe all of this, and the lowest overnight lows will
be fifty two, and everything else will be in between.
And that's a nice stretch that if we can just
snapshot I don't know, just print screen that, just if
we could just tuck that in for about four or
five more weeks before we have to get into dealing

(03:06):
with eighty fives and nineties. We did catch a ninety,
by the way, what a week and a half ago
something like that. Uh set of record, which is not
the kind of record you want to be setting, honestly.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety. Email
me Dougpike at iHeartMedia dot com. I was sitting at
the desk a little while ago trying to think of

(03:26):
something really different that we could do today. And it's
not unique to the show, it's not first time, but
I thought maybe I would bring in the entire audience,
whatever age you are, and just tell me what you
think are some of the most significant changes that you've
witnessed in your lifetime. And if you're young and you're

(03:50):
a bass fisherman, it may be the forward facing sonar.
If you're unless you're two and you you've almost always
had what you would have always had in your life then.
And if you're my age, horse and buggy, I don't know,
I'm not that old, but anything really that boy. I mean,
I said so many things that I've seen come in

(04:13):
night vision for rifles, infrared for rifles, h what else?
Good heavens. On the fishing side go from fiber well,
from early early in my grandfather's garage there were still
a couple of steel fishing rods. Then came fiberglass, Then
came graph fight, then came boron, and boron was out

(04:35):
before you could learn how to spell it and say it.
And then came the more sophisticated graph fights that we're
using now. Uh, differences in lines, differences in line guides
on those rods, and the real the evolution of the
reel is fantastic. I'm kind of wondering what you think

(04:55):
is the most significant change that you've witnessed, or at
least it's one of the major changes let's just call
them major because they're all significant when they come through,
and we all wonder what will come next, and that
maybe that we could flip into something to talk about too.
What's next in fishing? Can rods be lighter? Can reels

(05:18):
be lighter? Can lines be stronger? It's just all the
whole thing. How about lures? Will will AI enable? And
by the way, AI is the that's what's made it
possible to have so much innovation, and in golf too,
have so much innovation come in relatively quickly. There was

(05:42):
a time when it took it took years of trial
and error to innovate something truly new and significant into
any part of our lives. Now you can just ask
ay I to do it, and it will. I don't
know how all of that works, I really don't, to

(06:02):
be perfectly honest. But what AI can do in design
and manufacturing and just every facet of our lives, now
that's going to end up being the single most significant
introduction for probably for this century. And I saw something
kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yet I think it was.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It wasn't yesterday, it was maybe Friday or Thursday. I
saw a story where and it may have been someone
in the In fact, I'm sure it was someone in
the industry. It may have even been Elon Musk said
something about how AI we're right on the cusp of
human knowledge being surpassed by AI knowledge. In other words,

(06:50):
there's nothing almost at this point, nothing left that humans
can teach AI that AI doesn't already know. And that's
pretty weird. I wouldn't call it scary, but it certainly
is food for thought, and I'm wondering how it will

(07:12):
apply to those of us who who knows whether we'll
be fishing or not in ten twenty years. We don't know.
None of us can know that. We could just anticipate.
It'll be fun. It'll be interesting to see how all
of this plays out. It really will. So if you
have something you want to talk about, a change in hunting, fishing,

(07:32):
anything outdoors, Okay, I don't want to hear about changes
in automobiles. I don't want to hear about changes in
buildings or housing stuff like that. I want to know
how it impacts you in the outdoors. What do you
find easier, what do you find more satisfying because of AI?
And all of it's or not AI, but just because

(07:54):
of change. I can tell you something else it got better,
really better, and that would be clothing. The clothes we
wear in the outdoors now are much lighter and much
more effective at either well, keeping us cools easy, you
can just take your shirt off, some of us can anyway,

(08:15):
but keeping warm in the winter it's a lot easier
now than it was. An what's up, man, how are you?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
It could have been private?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Uh jeez, about seven o'clock from Nebraska last night?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh my, did you go?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Well, thank you man, I appreciate you doing that.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, but luckily your podcast had put me to sleep, so.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
I'm glad to hear that.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I've got a couple of changes.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'd say, one woman is the amount of redfish the
bas system.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Well, yeah, you and others so hard back in the
eighties hit.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
There when I was when I was a kid fishing
with my dad to surf.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Never came across red fish, right.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It seems like it's just.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
Somebody more bail, I'd say, would be ordering out of
the catalog. Remember how was to look at a capellas
or candor mountain and circle it either for Christmas or Birthday,
and excitement of ordering it and waiting for it to
come in and and uh, well field and the stream
and uh you know the magazines as well.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Anticipation and really.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
It cover to cover.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, it's uh, it's just so easy that I that's
down to look online or but that anticipation and excitement
of ordering something and waiting for that magazine to come in.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Well you know, yeah, and it took a while to
get whatever it was you circled and whatever. Somebody had
to write a letter and put a check in it
and send it off to the the manufacturer or whoever
was sponsoring this whole deal, and that had to work
its way up up the chain, and then it got
to where it went. Then somebody else had to turn

(10:00):
around and box up whatever it was you bought and
put it right back into that kind of fairly slow
mailing system. Now we just push two or three buttons
and you can get things in less than twenty four hours. Yeah, right,
just right delivered right to your door, right to your door.
And and because you have a ring doorbell, you know
when they put it there.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
At that that's.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Huge, man, it really is. Aron, Holy cow, dang man.
So you drove all the way from Nebraska last night.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, it's a third trip in nine days.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
That just keep adding on and adding on.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
So wow, man, on back up and down.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
That's good though, that's business, right.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yes, sir, good for you. Man.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I still want to help you out with this that.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh yeah, we're a tom captain. Get all the knocked out.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, let's do that. Let's do Are you gonna
be coming through Houston.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Just briefly, briefly just passing through over to the girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, you have to get over to the girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
What one of my foreman's got a baby on the
way the next two three days, and the other one's.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Gotta turning one.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
So wow.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
As much as much as they do for me on
the road across the country, I gotta get his family.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, one hundred percent. You owe them big time.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Man, sir.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
It is always a pleasure to hear from you, my friend,
It really is. I really I'm glad to hear you
doing well too.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yes, sir, we'll be in touching.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, that sounds great man, right, Yeah, save travels.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, thank you. Thanks.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Uh yeah. Aaron, Aaron Bettello, he and his cruise just
they flesh it. They they make an empty hollow shell
a two acre three acre four acre hollow shell a warehouse.
That's what they do all over the country. They're that
good at it that they get hired by companies all
over the country. They come put shelves up in my warehouse. Sure,

(11:57):
laser beams and and all. I don't know how they
do all that. That's why he does it, and I don't.
That's why I sit right here seven one three two
one two five seven ninety Email me Doug Pike at
iHeartMedia dot com. Aaron reminded you, by the way that
wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you can listen to
the podcasts of this show. And glowing endorsement. I suppose

(12:22):
Aaron's driving across the country in the middle of the
night and the podcast didn't put him to sleep. That's good.
That's good, right, Evan. That's a glowing certification.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
I think you know.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, big endorsement right there. All right, we'll take a
little break here on the way out. I'm going to
tell you I had to make a couple of changes
in this, Evan, and I'll tell you why in a minute.
Timber Creek Golf Clubs where I'm going to start off.
That is on the south side of town. You go
down the Gold Freeway FM twenty three fifty one there
at Friendswood and hang a west, go about three four
miles and you'll there'll be a high school on your

(12:54):
left at a light and there'll be a little convenience
store on the right. Take a right and that's the
gate that'll lead you right into the gate for Timber
Creek Golf Club twenty seven holes in there, outstanding people
from top to bottom. I know a lot of the
people who have worked out there over the years, and
always run by one guy, Mike Griswold. He's been there

(13:15):
good heavens for as long as I've known him. Mike
Griswold runs a good tight ship to make sure that
everybody who comes through there and tease it up has
a great time. Plenty of good food in there, plenty
of good people in the pro shop to make sure
you have what you need when you walk out the door.
If your swing stinks, then slip over to that metal
building next to the range and get in touch with

(13:37):
somebody on JJ Woods staff, maybe JJ himself, who knows
those people can can fix the swing no matter how
badly it's broken. Have you enjoying your golf a little
bit more every time you go back to him. Timber
Creek Golf Club dot com is website. You can set
your tea time right now, right there, timber Creek Golf
Club dot com. And do some chores around the house

(13:59):
today and the same afternoon. Uh in hopes of hopes
of getting a smooth pass to golf tomorrow. That'll be
my plan. My wife's not awake this morning just yet,
so she hasn't heard that. And if you know her,
don't don't tip her off. Why I'm going to be
coming in in such a such a helpful mood after

(14:20):
the show. I might have to do a little nap first,
but then I'll go, well, let's get Rick Bys on
the phone, and I will do that by going clicking
right there, Rick Bis, what's up man?

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Good morning, Doug. It's amazing how you and I are.
We communicate, uh without even talking sometimes the subject of change. Yeah, yeah,
yesterday I thought I had some time. I've always got time.

(14:56):
But I went and got my little dove hunting stool, uh,
little fold out stool, stopped, bought this sandwich, walked down
to this pond in the woods, sat down, eat the sandwich,
turned my phone off patching wood ducks when I walked in.
Then here comes some more woodies. And this is about

(15:19):
ten thirty in the morning. Deer came, ducks came back,
two little baby raccoons. I say, babies. They probably babies
came up. When I got to thinking about what you
just changed things. I'm not a tech I'm not a

(15:41):
high tech guy, and I'm I'm gonna rewind just a second.
This week, I got six trail cameras and they're they're new,
they're probably a year old. Yeah, cameras. And I've said,
you know what, they've been setting in the shop for

(16:02):
a year. I said, I don't need that to do
what I want to do. I told them in the trash.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
Now the thing is that I'm concerned about, and this
can be for hunting or fishing. Is I know where
this is all going. Where the day's coming When it's
not going to be any hunting, and there's not going
to be anty any fishing, it's gonna be Hey, you
want to It's gonna become a game. Hey, Joe, you

(16:35):
want to go play fish? I got the boat all
ready to go. Yeah, you want to come over to
my house? And watch these deer come in, and and
and and on my life, my life cameras and and
my done is set up and pulled the trigger overpix
the deer up, takes him, drops him down a sheet

(16:56):
at the processor. I mean, where's it going to end? Yeah,
I don't think the sport of hunting and fishing. I
know I'm gonna make a lot of people met. I
don't think there's any place at this point in time.
It's getting out of control. In my opinion, there should
be a separation between technology and the sport of hunting

(17:17):
and fishing.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
But what we're witnessing it's.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
Not a sport anymore. It's a game.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, what we're witnessing is the eradication of patience and
of self awareness. And you're right, it's it is kind
of turning into a game. The forward facing sonar, the
game camps, all of those enable somebody if they would
rather sit in the house or sit in camp or wherever,

(17:50):
and play a game and then occasional look over at
a screen to see if there's something worth doing, and
that that's gonna That could in theory carry over to
the fishing part of it too, where you could have
Let's say you have a pier built on your lake
and you have forward facing sonar on twenty four to

(18:11):
seven along that pier, Well, why go out there and
fish if there's no fish there, Let's just wait till
a fish shows up. Then we'll tiptoe out there and
go catch it. I hope it doesn't come to that,
but this generation doesn't have patience. They are instant gratification people.
They want to know that the deck is stacked in

(18:32):
their favor. They don't want to wonder whether or not
they're a fish somewhere, or wonder whether or not there's
a big buck coming to that feeder. They want to
know before they go. And that's just kind of wiping
out the romance of all of what you and I do.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
They have taken taken. They are taking the strategy of
what's the word of looking for the challenge?

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, yeah, the challenge has been.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
You know, the challenge that you're challenging the fish, you're
challenging the animal or the bird, you're challenging them. That
they're taking that all away. So I'll end it with this, Okay, Doug,
Someday you and I are gonna have to get together
and let's go play hunting or go play fishing.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
I don't want to go play any of that. I
want to go work at it and be awarded rewarded
for my hard work. I want to put in the
time what you did yesterday just sitting on a chair
and wondering what's gonna show up, rather than you sat
out there in nature with the bugs, with the snakes,
with all the animals, with the wind, with the temperature.

(19:48):
You feel every bit of that firsthand when you're out there.
If it gets a little cool toward the end of
the day, you feel that in your bones. If it
gets a little damp, a little thundershe hour comes along
or something like that, you feel it. You get wet.
But the way it's set up now, these these younger
people aren't gonna have to feel anything, and they won't

(20:11):
feel anything because they're not sitting outside until it's oh man,
that buck just showed up. We need to go ahead
and hop in and get out there and be first
thing in the morning, don't I don't see the rifles on.
I don't see the remote controlled rifles working. That's that
leads way too much gray area, I think. And it
was tried commercially, probably twenty years ago now, a guy

(20:34):
out of San Antonio. I think it was set up
some rifles over feeders and was charging people to just
get on their computers and tap shoot or whatever, and
that that fizzled and died pretty quickly, it really did.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
I haven't closing comment sure on Thursday. I have a kid,
he's sixteen, sixteen or seven. He's got a you know,
all the way up, all the way back. He's on
the phone, playing games, doing whatever. All right now, he's
hunted all his life, and he's hunted in the best

(21:11):
of deer stands. He's hunted in the best of you know,
the trucks, you know, with the big racks on them.
And I set him up on a on a new
on a brand new feeder. This was this week, brand
new feeder. And I put him and built him a
ground land.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Oh cool, Yeah, I like hunting out ground blotch.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
And the first thing he said when I went and
picked him up, he says, you know what, when you're
in a deer stand, you can't hear the things that's
going on around you, he says, he says, I'm I'm shocked.
He said, I will never hunt in another deer stand
if I can help it.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you miss out on that's a that's
another point. You miss out from a box, and it
doesn't really qualify as a big change, but it's still
it's different. And when you build, especially if you build
your own ground stand or at least have a hand
in it, then you got a little more skin in
the game. And it really is cool when you can
be sitting in that little stand, that little ground blind

(22:12):
and have something walk up on you and never know
you're there. That's the best part. That's really cool.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
This was just I just put him in a brush pile.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
It never fails when you do that. When you hunt
on the ground, it never fails. You can always hear
something coming close to you.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Before you hang up on me. One hundred years ago,
I went down to Correzo Springs and was hunting a
very very nice ranch, very well appointed ranch, with some
very good people who asked me to come down, and
I knew that they had put a few other animals
than whitetailed deer in there.

Speaker 6 (22:47):
Not a lot.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
It wasn't like a zoo. It wasn't like a global zoo.
Running around there, but there were a few animals in
there that you wouldn't see in South Texas typically. And
I'm sitting in this ground block, sitting on a five
gallon bucket, and that's all I'm doing. I'm just sitting
on a five gallon bucket. I got my bow hanging
next to me, and I'm just waiting and watching and

(23:11):
behind me fairly close, I can tell I hear movement,
you know. Oh my gosh, here we go. There's a
deer walking my way. And then another step and another step,
and like, holy cow, this thing is close. Whatever it is.
I don't know how big this buck's gonna be, but
it's just right behind me. And i heard kind of

(23:31):
breathing behind me, and I'm thinking, oh my god, that
deer is just right in my face. And I was
kind of scared to move, but kind of scared not
to move too, you know. And I finally I kind
of started easing my neck around, just like one degree
a minute, just not to scare whatever it was. And
when I finally caught sight of what it was, Rick

(23:53):
picture me sitting on a bucket. I'm pretty low to
the ground at that point, right standing over me at
this point and with its neck inside my brush is
a bull elk just about loss of my mind. Oh
my god, I just wait, Okay, I.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
Want to pick back up on this subject next week.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Sure, man.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
I want to share a couple of things that you
just made me think of, some things that I would
like to you know, Oh.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, i'd yes, sir, you too, Ricky, stay safe, buddy audio. Yeah,
Holy cow, man, holy cow.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
That was a That was the day that I'll never
forget when he started talking about sounds in ground, ground
stands and ground blinds. That and there's something pretty cool
about that too. I had a great experience down on
the som Burrito Bill Carter's place many many years ago,
where Joe Dogget and I were giving Carte Blanche to
run around on about twenty five hundred acres of South

(24:56):
Texas brush and big deer. We know they're a big
deer on this place. And actually it was the hunt
when I got one of my best bucks ever and
I had well, i'll tell you, I'll tell you what.
Let's pause and i'll tell you this story when we
get back. It was really it had a good, happy ending.
But boy, I was very disappointed about halfway through the story.

(25:21):
On the way out, I'll tell you about American Shooting Centers.
You would not be disappointed to go out there. The
winds calmed down, so that'll make the clay targets fly
a little straighter than I bet they were yesterday. That
would have been challenging to take on a sporting places
course yesterday. America's Shooting Centers has been around a long time.
It is the largest non military shooting facility in the
state of Texas, and there are some big ones. Believe me,

(25:43):
I've been to most of them. America Shooting Centers was bought,
I say recently. It's been years now by a man
named Ederighi, who I greatly admire for the way he
came in and kind of redid it and made it
user friendly, made it safer, made it everything in the
positive direction. And once you go shoot out there, if

(26:05):
you never have, you'll understand what I'm talking about. It's
on West tim Or Parkway between Katie and Highway six.
They have rifle and pistol shooting from five yards out
to six hundred yards and tucked in the middle of
all of that is a little pop up silhouette range
for rim fire shooters. It's a lot of fun. And
if you've got kids coming up in shooting, you know

(26:25):
how much AMMO costs when they get to the range
and get out of there. You can spend an arm
and a leg, or you can turn them loot. Well,
you can supervise them on that pop up range and
let them burn twenty two AMMO and not cost you
nearly so much. They have what is it, three sport
enclay's courses, ten trap and skeet fields, five stands, setups,

(26:46):
a beginner's wing shooting area, and of course instruction for
any of those shooting disciplines and safety. There's always somebody
watching you, whether it's eyes on or cameras or whatever,
to make sure that everybody at American Shooting Centers has
a safe, comfortable shooting experience. American Shooting Centers dot Com

(27:07):
is a website. Start right there. See what they can
do for you, maybe see you how much fun you
can have with the shooting sports out there American Shooting
Centers dot com. But before I get to my story,
I will let's go talk to David. Hey, that's a
good song there, jive talking. I remember that one man
that's that's out of my wheelhouse. But I like it

(27:29):
way before your time, and I would I would say
kind of an era forgettable, you know, disco thing, all
of that. We had some good grooves and basslines out
of it. Yeah, that's true. And in hindsight, you know,
it's always it's popular when it's popular, and it's still
popular right up till that day it's not and it's

(27:50):
just forgotten. Let me go get Dave on the phone.
He's a music man, he'll appreciate that. What's up, Dave?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, disco dancing man?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Did you ever do any Did you do it? You're
way too country to be discoing, weren't you.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Well, no, we were wearing we were wearing the polyester
what they.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh yeah, gold chain?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Uh no, well yes, it wasn't that big.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah you did. That's okay, you still had one. What's
up man?

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (28:21):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Okay, I checked with the war department. I mean my wife.
I had to run to uh.

Speaker 7 (28:26):
I had to run to the uh Houston and took
care of that early this morning. And now I'm back
here in Willison. But I'm fixing. I'm loading up my
equipment right now. And uh, she said, oh, remember when
you were talking about honey dudes and stuff like that.
Oh lord, yeah, well yeah, well that's how I'm getting
some bonus points.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
So I'm gonna.

Speaker 7 (28:46):
Go to a stubblefield like bridge over there to the
park by the park over there. But anyway, that's what
you were talking about the changes. I mean, when I
was a kid, before even like Conrad was built, we
were there fishing when Storefield Lake Bridge was just a two.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Lane asphalt run with the galvanized deals.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
On either side, and you had to kind of keep
up out of the way and basically, you know, one
car would go through and the other car would go
through because there would be a lot of people, you know,
dolling for crappie.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Over there or white ash or whatever.

Speaker 7 (29:22):
Sure, and and uh, you know, and so now I'm
gonna I'm gonna take some good pictures when I get
over there.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I'll get them to you on Facebook.

Speaker 7 (29:30):
And and uh, of the of the of what they
the bridge they got now, I mean it's like whool
you know, they got two by twelve.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Wood stained wood there. Yeah, and then then they got
you know, and there's handicapped.

Speaker 7 (29:47):
Parking there and everything, and you can get a wheelchair
up there and they go on, that's awesome concrete boat launch.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Now that's good. That's good. Yeah, those are good changes.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Huh yeah, yeah, that's union. Yeah, how you did.

Speaker 7 (29:59):
And it was after the hurricane come through. I can't
remember which one, but when it took them three years
to build that thing, and I watched them, you know,
I would go out there because you go, you couldn't
go across the bridge, you get had to go on
thirteen seventy four or thirteen seventy five to get there,
and then you have to turn around and go back
to go other way.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
And man, they did a master job on that.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
And also you know from the water levels level and something,
you know, like they're level.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
On that and now and then they come up with
the lasers. Yeah, you know that's the laser level. One
other thing, one other thing.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
On musical side. I remember the last time, I think
it was in like two thousand. Yeah, around two thousand,
I was at the horse track and uh went to
sleep at the wheel and Ray Benson they they were
tuning his guitar with a Strobe tuner, you remember that
the one that goes round and around and music.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
It's a look up strove tuner.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
Yeah, and then now you got a little thing that
you can clip on the headstock of your guitar, push
a button and then hit your hits your string and
then there it's too you know. So it's a lot
of a lot of changes come from Star Trek too.
I think beaming you up, Scott.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
You have me beaming us up before too long? Huh
cow you know. Come and get loaded, yeah, load up
and get where you gotta go.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Dave.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
It's great to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Man.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
Like I said, I'll shoot you some pictures after a
while and everything, and then we'll talk about it next week.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
All right, good, I appreciate that.

Speaker 8 (31:33):
Man.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I hate safety on the water. Safety.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Amen. All right, you got it, thanks Dave Actual for okay, audios.
All right, let me go back to my story and
then I want to get back to some change stuff
because Captain Scott weighed in on something pretty interesting too.
The quick story off the song Burrito, I built myself
a groundstand. Joe Dogg and I were offered up, Okay,

(31:57):
you can go hunt this this pasture here because I'm
not going to be Nobody's going to be in it.
It's not a pasture that was commercially hunted, and this
pasture was about twenty five hundred acres, so we had
a lot of room. We had a lot of elbowroom.
And we went out and drove all around that afternoon,
kind of scouting and looking for places that might be
good to set up. We each set up ground blinds together.

(32:19):
We helped each other set these places up. And mine
was kind of on a hillside overlooking a really a
big I could see a big area and there was
a lot of There was a lot of activity in
that area. I knew that. And the next morning I
get in there and I'm watching the best buck that
I've seen I don't know, at least when I was

(32:41):
carrying a rifle, the best buck I've seen when I
was carrying a rifle in a very long time. And
it's way out though, It's six hundred yards out and
trailing a dough through the brush, and I'm watching this
thing and it's working its way toward me, and I'm
feeling really good about this. I know it's going to
take them in it, but I'm feeling pretty confident. And

(33:03):
I wait and I wait, and I'm being patient, and
the breeze is coming right up the hill, and I'm thinking, boy,
I'm in perfect shape. This is really gonna be good. Well,
that perfect shape changed when about four or five doze
came rolling over the top behind me, and behind me

(33:24):
at the top of that ridge was only about maybe
twenty yards from where I'd set this little stand up.
And I'll be danged if they didn't wind me. And
the first one did, and this panicked, and the second one,
and the third one, and the fourth one panicked because
the first one panicked. And now we've got these all
these little hoofs are dancing around on all this Callichi rock,

(33:47):
and just oh they made I might as well have
had a high school marching band come through there. And
that buck's head came up, and the doe's head came
up that he was chasing. She went one way, he
went the other, and I watched him run at just
full bolt speed for probably two fifty three hundred yards,

(34:09):
never slowed down. He knew something was up and he
didn't want any part of it. And I was just crushed,
and I thought my whole hunt was blown. They just
scattered everything out of that little valley in about an
hour and a half, almost two hours later probably back
came that dough and back came that buck, and he

(34:30):
to shortened the story. He got one step closer than
he should have, and that was that was his last step.
That was a lot of fun. It really was. Holy cow,
that was a lot of fun. Seven one three, two,
one two five seven ninety. Let me go to these
emails now, and I'm gonna take them kind of in order,
because I got three really good ones. I want to
talk about Keith Wade in talking about the tech technology changes,

(34:53):
and he said, the first thing that comes to mind
in regard to technology is good swell for and cams
at the beach. Spoken like a true surfer and surf waiter.
He continues, I think Texas surf is really hard to
call unlike pacifics wells, I couldn't agree with you more

(35:14):
very finicky and could be perfect for an hour. And
then the bottom line is with places like Saltwater Recon
for example, that I just was on this morning looking
at it, you can see right now what's happening right now,
and if you live close to the beach, you can
get in before you probably get in the water before
the next set comes through. But the bottom line is

(35:36):
you can you know before you leave the house. When
I grew up surfing, all we had was second hand
information or even third hand information that was probably going
to be about a day old, and we had to
get kind of like fishing without electronics, kind of like
hunting without electronics. We had to use our own knowledge,

(35:57):
and at sixteen seventeen, eighteen years old, we didn't have
a whole lot of knowledge built up over years. But
you'd learn to get the phone number of one of
the old timers who was retired and still surfing down
there almost every day, and that was kind of your
better source of information.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
David weighed in. He just lined them all up cell
phones and apps, GPS, game cameras. Jokingly, the business failure
of the century must be with Sears for not seeing
the future of online ordering. Holy cow, the Seers catalog.

(36:37):
You had you thumb through it, just like we were
talking about earlier. And then I'll wrap this one. I'll
tell you what I'm gonna stop here, and I'll get
to what Captain Scott sent in and his subject line
says Devil's Advocate. And if you know Scott like I
know Scott. As soon as I saw that I said, oh,
this is gonna be good.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
And it was.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
So I'll get to that when we come back from
this break. On the way out, I'm gonna tell you
about Brasis River Provisions Company down there in Richmond, the
purveyors of fine jams, jellies and sauces. Been cheering them
out for years, cheering them out for years. The man
Mike Mercado started the company. He was a restaurant man

(37:17):
in Rice Village, a very nice, comfortable way to make
a living. But he decided he wanted to do something
different at one point in his life, not to be
quite so busy. And I don't know why he thought
it wouldn't be busier, But he bought himself a jam
and jelly factory in Rosenberg. And then he's taken his
knowledge of fine food and applied that to jams, jellies

(37:39):
and sauces to where he has created a boutique line
of these things, these jars of jars of heaven, if
you will. And he and his staff even know what
pairs best with different foods. Everything for you, what goes
best with a corn chip? Well, they'll tell you that.

(38:01):
We'll ask you about how what your tolerance is for spices,
what your tolerance is for sweetness, all of that, and
then he'll have something just for you, or a pork
chop or a ribi or you name it, whatever it is.
If it's traditionally eaten with jamjelly or salcea on top,
he knows exactly what to put on it out of

(38:23):
his exhaustive menu of options. Brass River Provisions Company there
at one thousand Wilson Drive. One thousand Wilson Drive in Rosenberg.
They're happy to have you come by see the place.
You can buy from them right then and there, or

Speaker 1 (39:37):
If you are interested in teeing it up today, and
who wouldn't be. Honestly, if you've got golf clubs and
you got a little time to kill, why wouldn't you
go play golf at black Horse Golf Club up on
the northwest side there. Take two ninety out the Fry
Road hanging south, go about two and a half three miles.
You're gonna see golf course on your right. Soon as

(39:58):
you see golf course on both sides for our road,
put on your west blinker and pull into the property.
And from that point forward, anybody who's got a name
tag on is there to help. Whether that's somebody who's
going to give you a lesson at the far end
of the range, whether it's somebody who's gonna serve you
a cocktail or maybe some lunch in the grill there,
somebody in the pro shop, somebody just anywhere on that property.

(40:22):
They're going to be riding around looking for you, just
to make sure you're having a good time. If you were,
a swing is not what it should be, go to
that far into the range and work on that. Now
they have changed the way they operate for this year
out there at black Horse. Used to be two daily
fee courses. The South course has now been made fully private.

(40:43):
There are memberships still available. They actually they did very
very well when they introduced the concept and opened up memberships.
And if you want to take advantage of that and
become part of that family, that's a great family to
be in because you would still get act says to
both courses at black Horse. Plus there's an option to
also have access to both courses at Golf Club of

(41:06):
Houston and to Blackhawk Country Club out in Richmond. That's
where I play a lot. You probably see me out
there fishing if you're out there late enough in the afternoons.
Black Horse Golf Club been around a very long time.
Craig Hicks is the GM. He's a big hunter and
fisherman too. If you happen to meet him and run
into him out there, tell him I said hello, and
ask him if he's caught any fish lately. Black Horse

(41:28):
golf club dot com. Go make a cheff tea time
right now, black Horse goolf Club dot Com. Maybe went
a little long with the other one. I tell you
what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go straight to Kevin
because I know Kevin's gonna have something good to talk about,
and then we'll probably get to the top of the
hour here Kevin. What's up?

Speaker 6 (41:43):
Man?

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Hey Doug, how are you doing it? I'm going to
great what's going on down there in Freeport?

Speaker 2 (41:50):
You will.

Speaker 11 (41:52):
Riding around in between the parks that I take care
of the Bizori County Parks Department. Next weekend, I'm gonna
be waymastering my first fishing tournament for the year. Harvest
for the Hungary is an organization that actually they grow vegetables,
raise chickens, and produce eggs.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Oh you got me, You have me at eggs man,
let's go.

Speaker 11 (42:15):
But they provide it to the local food pantry people
in the area that really need it. They're they're having
their second annual spring fishing tournament. They've got about an
eighteen acre fresh water pond like whatever, and it's stocked
with bass, catfish and red fish. Oh boy, and the
fish in that starts at seven am and last I

(42:37):
think it ends at eleven, okay, and then they have
have the awards ceremony. It's a good event. They raise
money for children's angler education class.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
That's great, man. The more the merrier those huh yes, sir,
it's fantastic.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
You know.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
God, get the the way we've been talking this morning.
At some point, it's just gonna be a bunch of
little kids looking at screens learning how to fish. I
hate that, man.

Speaker 11 (43:03):
Yeah, you know, they've got a they're they're steel teching.
I mean, just the basics. They'll never get away from
that completely.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
No, I agree.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
I agree, as long as they have people like me
and you that teach them the right way to do things.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Well, you know, what we're teaching them is our way
kind of and they're gonna have to develop their way,
same as the same as my grandfather fished with steel
rods and now I don't, and it's just genange and
we've got to make room for it.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Ironically, I still have a couple of steel rods.

Speaker 11 (43:37):
Oh come, I've got steel rods that you can actually
have the old antique direct drive knucklebussing.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Oh man, Yeah, young people don't know what those are,
but yeah, they were called knucklebusters for a reason. Holy man,
that's great stuff.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
So where is this tournament gonna be?

Speaker 2 (43:56):
That's okay.

Speaker 11 (43:57):
It's just outside of Worcestern Creek on it three and
the right there on the corner of the road that
texts you to Kirby Marina.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Oh, okay, the way on the Gulf. Yeah, it's right.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
There on that corner. You can't miss it.

Speaker 11 (44:09):
It's you'll see about a two or three story great
building right there on the corner. And just pull in
there about six thirty and start getting registered for the tournament,
and then they'll cut you free to start fishing around seven.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
All right, man, thank you, I appreciate that. Kevin, all right, Doug,
you too, Audios, all right, bye bye, all right, Okay,
I got a couple of minutes here. I'm gonna take
a look real quick at what Scott had this Devil's
Advocate thing before we come back and have to go
to the players Championship. Uh So, where should the line
be Scott rights as to what's okay and passes muster

(44:44):
game cameras are okay because it makes things too predictable.
Aren't okay because it makes them too predictable. But feeders
with timers are cool. Nice blinds aren't okay because you
aren't on the ground in their environment. But a scope rifable,
right rifleble scope rifle capable, Holy cow, brain show shows
slow down shooting into the next zip code. That's okay,

(45:08):
but not not a box line. Yeah, there's all kinds
of back and forth. Here's a here's a really good one.
Traditional equipment archers hate compound shooters, who in turn hate crossbows,
and that's that's a good one. And the people constantly
arguing about calibers, that's something that could go on and on,

(45:29):
just like he says. But uh yeah, the bottom line
is it's gonna change. Whatever it is. Inevitably, it is
gonna change, and history will record that it changed somehow
for the better in most cases. Now there there's good
and bad and everything, And we've got people scammers on

(45:49):
the internet. We've made it very easy to pay our
bills and and and do banking on the internet. But
the flip side of that is there are bad guys
out there who will take that information off of a
computer that's supposed to be super safe. Ask any major
company that's been hacked, and they will use it to

(46:11):
steal your money, or steal your identity or do other
bad things. So you have to kind of take the
good with the bad and just hope that the good
outweighs the bad. And I think in the outdoors, ultimately
the good always will outweigh the bad. And I think

(46:32):
that these changes that we're experiencing, Yes, thank you. See,
I told you I didn't yell at him at all.
Jacob saw that. You see how that worked. It's a
smooth as silk. We're gonna take a little break. We
got a new guy working in there with Evan right now,
and I hope he sticks. He seems like a nice
young man, and I already told him I'm not gonna

(46:54):
yell at him. We're not curing anything, we're not solving anything.
We're just having fun talking about the outdoors. And that's
the thing that makes me happiest to talk about Bellville
meat Market. Belleville meat Market make me pretty happy. Every
time I go out there. I'm looking for something delicious
to bring home, as you will be if you've never been.

(47:15):
Make the trip there on Highway thirty six about fifteen
minutes north of Sealy, fifteen minutes south of Hempstead. Very
easy to find, and you can call it a trip
out there to have lunch with the family on the patio.
You can call it a trip to go pick up
whatever meat products you want to eat for the next
couple of weeks. You can call it whatever you want,
but it's going to be a very productive trip, I

(47:36):
can assure you. Bellville Meat Market's been around for forty
something years, serving about half of Texas, by the way,
while game processing available all year round. In case you
tip over an exotic somewhere, or maybe you want to
take a hog out to them, give them a call
before you go gallivanting in there with a dead animal.
Make sure it's something that they will process and that

(47:57):
you've got it to the point it needs to be
that they can accept it. They've got wholesale smoke sausage
pricing all the time. Bone it. This is one of
my favorites. Bone in center cut pork chops just three bucks,
well two ninety nine a pound. There's a limit of
ten per customer, but ten pounds of pork chops last
year a little while forty two plus years. It says here.

(48:19):
I think it's forty four now serving what honestly I
believe to be half of Texas Belleville MeetMarket dot Com.
If you can't get there physically, go there online virtually
thanks to the changes we've had and the way we
do stuff around here, Go out there to Belleville online
and order yourself something. They'll ship it right to your door. Belleville,

(48:39):
MeetMarket dot com. That's Belleville, MeetMarket dot com. Captain Scott
something Scott. Before I get to the players, Capam Scott.
Going back to the technology things. We listened to the
Noah that National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Noah voice
over and over on the VIA as we loaded the

(49:01):
boat to decide whether we were going offshore, beachfront, open bay, reefs,
backwater protected areas. But no matter what Noah said, the
real gauge that changed many many game plans was that
huge American flag at gay Pontiac in Dickenson. Boy, you're

(49:21):
bringing back a lot of memories for a lot of
old dudes. Our plan was then further refined by watching
the steam from the Texas City petroleum plans. Oh my god,
how many times have I changed plans going down to surfside,
looking at the steam coming out of those places down
there right before you get to surfside. Yeah, you look

(49:42):
up and the smoke's just going straight up. Oh good,
it's calm, or it's just blowing sideways right off the
top of the stack. Man, I should have brought a surfboard. Yeah,
those were some different days. Now you can just get
out your phone and look at it in real time.
And unfortunately, the one downside to that knowing that when

(50:05):
you're sitting in Houston or Sugarland, or or anywhere pretty
much north of Gosh, north of the south side of town,
anywhere more than thirty or forty minutes from the from
the coast, and you see in real time, you're all excited.
You think, man, I want to go wide that surf.
I think it's going to be really good. I really do.

(50:26):
Everything seems to be great. Right now. We just punched
three four buttons and you're looking at live video feed
from the beach, and that beach looks all chopped up
and messed up. You don't go, and whatever it is
that you would have experienced, whatever knowledge you would have
gained by going and maybe having to adapt and maybe

(50:47):
try and find another place to fish under those conditions,
whatever they were. All of that's lost because you let
a you let a machine change your mind about going
fishing or going hunting, or going to do any thing.
And that, I think is something that ultimately some people
may regret, and that most people are gonna go with

(51:09):
the flow and be glad they didn't burn that gas
or be glad they didn't burn that time or whatever.
But every time I went, no matter what the conditions were,
when I got there, I stayed and I fished, and
I tried, and I learned, and I think that ultimately,
I think that worked out pretty well for me. The
Players Championship ongoing as as it has been for three

(51:33):
days now. We're going into round four, final round of
the event. Leaderboard got shaken dramatically, like a James Well shaken,
not stirred yet James Bond Martini yesterday. Boy, there was
a lot of movement, a lot of movement, and just
when you thought that the scores to win were gonna

(51:54):
be pretty high again maybe seventeen eighteen, nineteen twenty, under
par all of a sudden, we got a leader hanging
on by a thread. JJ Spawn he goes out at
nine o'clock this morning alongside Bud Cawley, who's at eleven.
Those two, well, they've got a lot of people chasing them.
Alex Smalley's at ten, just two shots off the lead

(52:15):
and only one sleeve of balls off the lead. Why
is his now? Get that off there? Hold on, I
gotta make this thing work. There we go, Thanks technology,
So nine under par. You got three guys there, one
sleeve back. That's ok. Shave Mattia if I was doing
a one and done. Kobe Gallic from Kobe Stevens dot

(52:35):
Com and I have talked about playing little game here
on the show one and done, where we're gonna pick
who we think is gonna finish highest that week in
a tournament, and once you've picked someone, you can't pick
them again the rest of the season. If Kobe, if
you're listening this morning on the gym, we're just gonna

(52:56):
do this for a one rounder because that's all that's left. Basically,
I'm gonna go with Batilla. I'm gonna go with Batilla.
He's already he's one under through his first hole. It
says here that can't be right. They can't be out already. Yeah,
I guess they could. It's ten o'clock. Maybe they got
some weather coming in over there or something. They want
to get him out. Yeah, Holy cow, half the field's

(53:20):
played quite a few holes. They're working on it. By gosh,
they are working on it. Seven one, three, two, one
two five seven ninety. Moving farther down the line must
get since there are only four shots off going into it,
that would be the eight unders, and those three men
are Max McGreevy, Patrick Cantley and Corey Conners. Notably missing

(53:45):
from the top ten or so, Scotty Scheffler. He's nineteenth
all by himself at five under par. I'm gonna slip
down a little bit farther because there were a couple
of names I was looking for, uh, Keigan Bradley only
at three. He's been playing really well. I don't know
what happened to him this week. And you have to
sometimes these guys they just they're just having a bad week.

(54:06):
They just don't feel well. Justin Thomas, only two under
through three rounds. Of course, he started seventy eight and
then he backed that up on Friday with a course
record tying sixty two and then kind of just threw
himself back under the bus with a seventy three yesterday
did himself with no favors.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
There.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
The list goes on and on. It's a great tournament.
There are really good people playing their hearts out over
there at Tpcsawgrass Ponavidra Beach, Florida, a beautiful part of
the state up the east coast. There seven seven nine
at email me, Doug Pike atiheartmedia dot com. I listened
earlier on the PGA Tour Network about something that a

(54:49):
lot of golfers really don't consider when they're trying to
figure out what's going on with their games. And every
now and then, if you get enough emails from golfer
related entities, you'll see something about a ball selection, somebody,
some guru who's going to tell you what ball to hit.

(55:09):
And for for most mid to high handicap amateurs, they're
told all the time, it doesn't matter what ball you hit,
don't worry about it doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (55:20):
Just hit it.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
If you find one in the woods, hit it. You
can get two dozen for six dollars. Buy them. And
in theory, that's that's not bad because if you're not
if you're not playing good consistent golf. You don't think
that matters, but it kind of does. And if you
want to get better, even if you're a pretty high handicapper,

(55:46):
there is some value in consistency with your golf ball.
If you're not If if you're changing balls every couple
of holes, or even if you're just changing ang balls
once every couple of rounds or something like that, you're
not really you're not really seeing with your own two

(56:10):
eyes exactly where those where those shots might have gone
had you used the same ball every time. And I
know it's kind of a picky little thing, and I'm
not telling somebody who's a twenty four handicapper and who
loses half a dozen balls around to go out and
start playing provy ones at fifty something dollars a dozen.
But what I am saying is is just pick a ball,

(56:33):
pick a horse, and ride it. By the least expensive
balls you can find, understanding that they're not going to
spin as much maybe as a better quality ball, they
may not fly as far as a better quality ball.
There will be some concession with that cheaper ball, but

(56:54):
there will come consistency and that can help you. And
if you ever get a chance to take some lessons
from someone who's a legitimate instructor, can help that person
develop your swing a little bit more easily and more effectively,
and really hone in on what's actually wrong with your

(57:14):
swing and not maybe something that's just wrong with your
golf ball. They were talking quite a bit about driver
distance as relates to ball selection.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Two.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
How Roy McElroy somebody who's got he's got no shortage
of distance off the teeth. But he changed balls this
week to something that spends a little bit more and
you and the reason he said he did it was
to help him hold shots off in that wind that's
been plaguing them all week. Help him hold shots off,

(57:46):
make sure that ball doesn't just just cut through the
wind and sail offline. And that's a very interesting strategy. Now,
what's the difference for him whether he drives three point
fifty or three forty six, Who cares, He's still gonna
bomb it down there as far or farther than most

(58:08):
guys on the tour. But that little edge that he
recognizes and with the consistency of swing he can put
on the golf ball, he knows that's going to keep
him in a couple more fairways. These guys are not
hitting a lot of fairways at Sawgrass this week. They
are not hitting hardly any fairways at Sawgrass, and they're
really One of the guys on the PGA Tour Network

(58:31):
this morning summed it up pretty well. He said, they've
that course yesterday had the best players in the world
talking to themselves. And if you play enough golf, you
know what that means. You just you know, I can't
believe I hit that shot. What happened there where? I
thought I had it, I thought I hit it, and
it just it went in the water, It went in

(58:51):
the woods. I've never seen so many balls go sailing off,
so many drives amongst these guys who are really they're
not nearly so accurate as a lot of players were
years ago because they are hitting it so hard and
so far, and it's just the line gets magnified. You

(59:12):
don't have to be off as much to miss a
fairway at three hundred and fifty yards as you do
at two hundred. If you're hitting it that far, it's
much easier to miss that fairway, much easier to miss
the fairway because you're counting on that ball going straight
for a lot farther than somebody behind you who who

(59:34):
can only hit at two hundred yards. That's pretty easy
to keep it between the weeds at two hundred yards,
not so much at three point fifty. So next time
you're scratching your head wondering what you want to what
ugly seed you want to plant in your head, start
thinking about ball selection. And I'm kind of jokingly saying
that what you need to do really is just make

(59:54):
sure that you have Try to get the same ball,
even if you're if you buy by refurbished top flight rocks, okay,
something just a hard ball, a very inexpensive ball, and
you don't even want to pay full retail for them,
then go to one of the used golf ball people,
golf Ball James, the golf ball guy. I saw a

(01:00:16):
big post he had. He's got tens of thousands of
golf balls that will be available at resellers everywhere shortly.
He's going through I don't know, six eight thousand of them,
he said last night. And just buy the same golf
ball and work with that and let your game develop
at least with that level of consistency, because the golf

(01:00:38):
balls do make a big difference They're not in any way,
shape or form made the same. Good Heavens, I'm running late.
Let's take a break. I'n catch Samerica, get a little
coffee between now in about five minutes from now. Shooter's
Corner Palmer Highway at twenty ninth Street in Texas City
is owned and has been for it's forty plus years

(01:00:59):
now by Jerry tk And who brought in as a
co owner whatever his position is his son Jay, and they,
together with the staff that they have down there, have
created one of the most welcoming, comfortable places to talk
about the shooting sports. To buy a new gun, to

(01:01:20):
buy some Ammo, to buy anything you want, all you
have to do is get down there to Shooter's Corner,
get inside, and if you've never I like to see
it smells like a gun store. And if you don't
understand what that means, go to Shooter's Corner and stick
your head in there and lo and behold, you'll know

(01:01:41):
exactly what that smells like. Shooter's Corner has been around
a long time. What you'll smell in there basically is
the smells of guns, Ammo, reloading supplies, optics, Camo, maybe
some of the solvents and the oils and whatever from
back in the shop, back in the workshop behind the
main counter there. But you'll you'll know, and if you

(01:02:05):
stand there for three or four minutes, you'll wind up
involved in a conversation somewhere about maybe hunting or about
personal protection anything. There's a lot of law enforcement folks
who go in there too, which I think is very good.
And one of the reasons they go in is because
if you wear a badge for a living, they give
you a discount at Shooter's Corner, which I think is
pretty cool. Guns Amo everything. You're looking forward to enjoy

(01:02:27):
the sports, the shooting sports a little more tomorrow than
you do today. All it takes is a trip to
Shooter's Corner. V shooters Corner tx dot com is a website.
D shooters Corner TX dot com doesn't epitomize the disco
ere a holy cow. I was actually a disco DJ

(01:02:48):
for a while in former life, Evan and yeah, I
had to play that dang song more than once. What's
your favorite disco song that you used to play them?

Speaker 6 (01:02:59):
None? None?

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
Really, I mean there was least dance was pretty good
because it was a good transition from you could you
could bring people if the dance roo we kind of
emptied out, which was bad, you could bring them back
with that one because it started off really slow, and
whoever whatever wherever would get out there and kind of

(01:03:21):
start rubbing shoulders together and they'd get all comfy, cozy.
Then they'd jump into that faster beat and they'd all
start dancing again. But other than that, I mean, and
I had probably, oh gosh, I had probably two hundred
maybe more vinyl big the big vinyl LPs, and one

(01:03:46):
song on each and one song on each side.

Speaker 8 (01:03:49):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
That's all you had on there. And I had to
time them up where the there was no there was
no train wreck of the beats. The beats had to
match up, and you could you could speed up or
slow down one turntable or the other to make sure
that when you pulled one volume down and pushed the
other one up, that it never skept a beat, skipped

(01:04:11):
a beat. That's how you kept the That's how you
kept the dance floor going, is it? Because if you
and if you missed it, boy, they would all kind
of stop immediately and not know which foot to put
down next. And it was dreadful, Absolutely dreadful. I just
sent Alan an email in response to one he said
about yesterday's wind. He played golf in it. He said,

(01:04:33):
the wind didn't pick up until about one, then it
started knocking us over. I hit a couple of really
good shots, trying to bend them around trees to the greens,
and the wind just held them up. It falls short.
Greens were interesting also, he said, because the balls landing
on the greens left no marks. And he goes on
and on to to wonder why he was basically even

(01:04:56):
out there. And it made me think, honestly about how
how in the world did golf stick in its infancy
over there in Scotland. Okay, you're in Scotland. You're outside,
it's raining, it's cold, and it's blowing forty five miles
an hour, and you and your buddies are out there

(01:05:18):
with sticks and these little makeshift golf balls. And how
miserable must it have been at home that, being out
in the wind and the rain and the cold, hitting
a ball with a stick and trying to get it
into a hole two hundred three hundred yards away? How

(01:05:40):
could that have been better than what was at home?

Speaker 6 (01:05:45):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
I've played golf in some really crazy weather. Jerry Sutton
and I were We played a scramble years ago in
a tournament down on the down around clear Lake. I
think it. I can't remember what. I can't remember exactly
what club we were at, but he and I and
two other guys were playing in a tournament in the
wintertime and it was Scotland like conditions. It was blowing,

(01:06:11):
it was cold, it was raining, and as it got
worse and worse, we realized that half the people it
seemed like we're going in, they were quitting and Jerry
and I were We're not quitting. We're playing golf. We
came here to play eighteen holes. We're playing eighteen holes.
And we did. And on the way back in our

(01:06:34):
group we learned was the only one that had stayed out.
I'm pretty sure if we weren't the only ones out,
I do know that we were the last ones in.
And by the time we got in, half the parking
lot was empty. It was It was dreadfully miserable and horrible.
Let me go talk to George. See what's going on. TikTok, TikTok, George,

(01:06:56):
what's up?

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
Man Auyes, yeah, y'all have been talking about and you know,
three or four five weeks ago, I said, there's good
and bad and everything you recalled and uh, anyway, uh,
you know, and last year, you know, we touched on
this same subject because the technology so invasive, you know,

(01:07:18):
it's it's such a big part of our life to
the point of invasive. And you know I mentioned that
two thousand and one of Space Odyssey, and you acknowledge
it after a hundred the phone, you said, you know
what because you remember that you're my age?

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
Sure, and how how would not.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
Let that astronaut back in the capsule or space station? Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Becall.

Speaker 4 (01:07:43):
So anyway, I sent you an email.

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
There's a video. I hope that that I hope it
came through to you.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
If you watch that video, and it's gonna be rather sober,
and I'm gonna play not the Devil's advocate, but I'm
gonna play an anti devil's advocate, because I told you
I'm not in favor of AI. You know, people will
say it's inevitable and there's a race on, you know,
and and I comprehend that, but there's aspects that a

(01:08:09):
lot of people don't comprehend.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
Don't know about it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
It has learned a whole lot just in the last
few weeks, just this year.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
AI is it's.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
Learning at an exponential rate, and we are the ones
that are training it and it doesn't and they've already
tested uh a I found it that it can be
uh it can be deceitful.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Oh well, yeah, that's good point.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Early in the program I mentioned that I think, and
I think it might have been Musk who said this
in the past week or so, that we are just
right at the at the very edge, right at the
very edge of AI, that that there's just nothing left
that humans can teach AI.

Speaker 4 (01:08:55):
Right, It's it's well, it's gonna be you know, it's
not at asolutely true. See the thing about AI is
it's not attached to our humanity. It doesn't have feelings,
you know, it's more of a gray It doesn't really
attach compassion.

Speaker 6 (01:09:13):
You can't. You can't.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
It's not necessarily going to offer up something that's the
opposite of compassion. But it's not necessarily going to offer
something that is in keeping with you know what we
would want to happen on that video When you watch
that video, which is it's from the health ranger Maka
Adams who he's headquartered here in Texas and he's got

(01:09:36):
his own labs and he has a lot of products
that are non GMO and non uh or not. They
don't come from over in the far East, Okay anyway,
so uh, anyway, there was something else I wanted to
say about it, but I'm at a loss right now.
But just watch that video if you would, and uh,

(01:09:58):
just you know, people need to keep it open.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Mind about it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
The thing about it, they're going to be using a
lot of water because in what they're trying to bring about.
And look there's I'll send you three more links of
what there's a five hundred billion dollar investment in Texas
and some other things Houston. And also it's going to
create a need of demand for electricity. Yes, another and yeah,

(01:10:21):
and they're building all these things all over Texas. Abilene
is going to be the big central you know. And
see it's a rush. It's like a space race rush
too in some ways.

Speaker 1 (01:10:30):
That's the Yeah, this is all going to come to
a head soon.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
I think that's it is.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
It is because time is racing exponentially too. It seems
to be like time speeding up to but all this technology,
that's what it does. It concentrates. You know, it used
to take her we hold these smartphones, and that used
to take a room full of competitors, and so that's
all been concentrated. And so it's time is condensing and everything.

(01:10:57):
And as we go forward, you know, I think time
AI we're gonna find out has been extant for a
lot longer than people think, because I think SAT linear
time is SAT turning in. That's something that people were
finding out in this new quantum age because there are
real quantum computers, but they are super positioned. They are
super conductors at ambient temperature, and these things that they're

(01:11:19):
introducing now you wait and watch how there's gonna be
a big water demand because it's not the real thing
because they don't have I know, who owns the path
in Okay, all right, George does not require water to
be cooked to cool it all down.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
All right, one thing.

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
You just watch hide and watch what happens with all
the water.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
And it's already a.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
Big issue as you know it is. Yeah, I gotta
run George, all right, Okay, hold on, okay, we got
that taking care of George. If you're still listening. By
the way, I don't have your email yet, the one
you're talking about. I don't have that seven one three
two one two five seven ninety email on me Doug
Pike and iHeartMedia dot Com on the way out, and

(01:12:00):
I will tell you about VIP Auto Glass VIP autoglass.
If you're driving down the highway today and you hear
you know the sound I'm talking about a truck pulls
in front of you or maybe somebody You're in the
right hand lane just trying to do the right thing,
and somebody in front of you is looking at their
phone and they ease off on the shoulder and flip

(01:12:20):
a big rock up back at dam one of those
on your windshield, like dog on it. Now what, well,
you're gonna start looking around, and if the kids aren't
in the car, you might say some words that I
can't say on the radio. And then if you see something,
Oh my gosh, what am I gonna do?

Speaker 6 (01:12:35):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
Who do I call? Where do I go? Well, that's easy,
it's VIP Auto Glass. And I'm gonna give you the
number so you can go ahead and put it in
your phone so you don't have to scramble when you
inevitably if you drive around Texas long enough, get a
rock chip or a crack or whatever in your windshield.
Rock chips, according to the owner Lisa Hill, rock chips

(01:12:57):
often if you get to them early enough with a
phone call, can be done wherever your vehicle may be
that same day. Only takes about half an hour to
get those knocked out. And if they have they have
technicians all over town, and if they happen to have
one anywhere near where you're going to be the rest
of the day, they'll send somebody over there and knock
that out for you. If you need a complete replacement,

(01:13:19):
which I did almost a year ago now, and I
did my due diligence. I called a lot of places
people I knew in that business who could refer me
to somebody who would do a good job. And not
only did VIP come highly recommended and with the knowledge
to do a windshield replacement right, which means computer reprogramming

(01:13:41):
of your whole car basically for a lot of your
safety features, they also offered me the lowest price I
found with my phone calls that I made to various places,
So I recommend them, I use them myself. I recommend
them for you vip autoglasstx dot com. Here's that number
two eight one eight zero seven one four eight eight

(01:14:03):
two eight one eight zero seven one four eight eight
Put it in your phone now to certainly do appreciate it. Hey,
so let me turn this up just a little bit.
Somebody's messing with those knobs, and I think Cow might
have been playing with that that. I don't remember what
it's called. It's not a mute, but it's just something
that kind of softens the volume. You want me to

(01:14:26):
turn that off the fader? Is that what what is
it called? I think it's the dim button?

Speaker 6 (01:14:30):
Dim?

Speaker 1 (01:14:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, make us let's make us bright again.
I can col holy cow, oh my word. Uh, be
careful what you asked for? They say, Okay, I promise
I was gonna tell Evan a joke, and you this
is a very clean joke. You don't have to hold
the kid's ears or anything. Those guy's at a job interview,
all right, and he's hoping. Man, he's hoping and praying,

(01:14:54):
and the the person who's interviewing him is looking at
his resume and says, I see a four year gap
here in your in your resume.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
What was that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
He goes, oh, yeah, that was yeah, that was Yale. Yeah, uh,
four years at Yale. And they go, wow, that's impressive.
You know what I think, you know, you probably are
the right candidate for this position. And he goes, great,
that's really good because I sure need this job.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
You got it, you get it?

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, that's funny, okay and totally clean.
All right, moving forward, there were some things I wanted
to hold on. Let me get back to my emails.
There were a couple of things I wanted to do
when we got back, and I'll yeah, Manny, my buddy
from l Coubanam Cigars, I'm gonna tell you more about

(01:15:45):
them in just a minute. One of the things that
has impressed him with change is the reliability, efficiency, and
quiet of four stroke boat motors. Boy, amen to that
and at as well. The first time I ever heard
a four stroke I was over in South Carolina. I

(01:16:07):
think it was back when I was editing Tide magazine
and I was over there visiting with the people from
South Carolina Tide and so this had to have been gosh,
twenty years ago, maybe more long time ago.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
I know that I was.

Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
Yeah, so anyway, I'm riding around with a fishing guide
over there, maybe just one of their members who was
a good fisherman in a traditional two stroke out board burned,
big loud thing. And we saw another boat in the distance,
and this guy I was riding with said, hey, that's
one of my buddies. Let's go see if he's doing
any good. And we went over to him and my guy.

(01:16:48):
The two boats come together and we're kind of holding
them together, and my guy turns his engine off so
we can talk, and we're talking back and forth, and
the guy that I was with said, by the way,
did you notice that he's got one of those new
four strokes? And I know I actually didn't. I wasn't
paying attention to his outboard motor. I was more concerned

(01:17:11):
with where he was catching his fishing on what But anyway,
I said, oh, yeah, that's pretty cool man. You mind
turning it on for me and so I can hear it.
He goes it is on, it is running like uh okay, yeah,
now I get it. That thing was just quite as
a little mouse. There was a little bit of breeze
and a little bit of chop, but nonetheless, you wouldn't

(01:17:31):
have any trouble here in any other traditional or older
technology motor. And that was, like I said, a good
twenty something years ago. And fast forward to now, when
we've got boats running around on the base doing ninety
and one hundred miles an hour and bass boats doing
the same thing. I'm not so sure that that speed

(01:17:53):
on the water is as safe as it could be
or should be. But for somebody who wants to get
from point A to point B faster, you just keep
strapping big engines on the back of your boat and
get there fast as you want to. It really is
phenomenal how quickly we can move around in the base.

(01:18:16):
And that's something that could be debated as well, whether
or not that technology and that that speed in getting
from point A to point B, which it gives you
more fishing time, granted, But I'm just old school enough
that I think that there's a speed at which it's
smart and safe and fun to be riding on the water,

(01:18:37):
and then there's a speed at which the tiniest little mistake.
It's same with cars, only if you spin out a
car on the road, at least you're still upright, and
even if you flip it, you can't drown from flipping
a car. You might get broken into pieces, but at
least you could still breathe there. And if you have

(01:18:59):
that same problem with a boat, there's there's not much
going on for you. Not much good's gonna happen if
you haven't a mistake. And there are just so many
oddball things. If you stop and think about it, how
many times you've seen things floating in the water as
you drove by them in a boat and thought, man,
I'm glad I didn't hit that. Well, maybe hopefully you

(01:19:19):
never do. I'll just leave it at that. I'm not
even gonna say the other side of that, but hopefully
you never do run into it something like that. I
remember back when what was it Ike? Maybe when Ike
came through here. It was one of the major, one
of the many major hurricanes we've had roll on top
of us, the one that wiped out Bolivar Peninsula basically,

(01:19:41):
And there were refrigerators floating in the bay. Well, they
eventually sunk, but there were roof entire roofs, just big
chunks of roofs floating around in the bay. There was
one photo I saw of four big truck tires floating
above the entire truck that they were suspending because they

(01:20:04):
had enough buoyancy just offshore. Once the once the wind
settled and you could see clearly out over the Gulf
of Mexico, thing had just been swept out to sea.
It was that was staggeringly horrible. I don't even know
why I got there. I'm gonna get away from there.
Let me tell you about something that will make you

(01:20:26):
feel better about the whole world, and that is my
buddy Manny Lopez down there at Cubano. El Cubano Cigars
been around for a very long time, and he sent
me a whole lot of things to say about him
and his company. But I'm just gonna focus on on
right now. On an introduction to El Cubano Cigars. It's

(01:20:48):
actually two places at the Texas City location. That's where
that's where Manny and three other people spend most of
their days rolling cigars hand rolling. These are all people
of Cuban descent. They grew up in Cuban cigar factories
and they brought all that knowledge right over to Texas City.

(01:21:10):
That's only one of about fifty only they're only about
fifty actual cigar making places in the entire United States,
and one of them is right down there at Texas City,
which it's really cool. You got to go there and
look at that, honest to goodness you do. It's if
they're all they're all made from Cuban seed tobaccos grown

(01:21:30):
all over Central America. And like I said, you can
watch them roll the more than one hundred and fifty
varieties of cigars that they make down there. And if
you're if there's someone who appreciates it, and a lot
of your friends do or maybe your customers do. If
you're if you're in business, you have vendors that you
work with who are cigar smokers. Yeah, a lot of

(01:21:53):
your golfing buddies. Maybe for a tournament or something. He
will make you custom cigars with your companies logo on
the bands. I've actually got some that he made for
iHeart for us over here. Uh there. I'm gonna try
to get with him as soon as I can to
pick him up, and I want to show them to
our boss here and we're gonna use them as as

(01:22:14):
little thank yous to better clients around here. Fantastic place.
There's a there's also a place in League City. Uh
just just a smoking lounge where you can go in
there and hang out with your buddies. There's plenty of
open air blowing through there to keep the smoke smell
from overwhelming you. And it's just absolutely relaxing. It's it's

(01:22:37):
old school, old schools. Sit down, have a cigar, chill out,
maybe have a cocktail. That a League City place has
a nice bar there. I think there's one also at
the Texas City location. Man, he's a good dude, he
really is. He's one of the nicest guys I've met
in a long time, and he just it will bend
over backwards. You can you can either go there and

(01:23:00):
make your selections for your cigars the Texas City location,
or you can get online and look at what they
do and how they do it and make your selections
there and just give him a call during business hours
over at the Texas City store and he will take
your order and he will ship you your cigars. He
shipped cigars all over the country, all over the country.

(01:23:21):
One day the week I was down there, there was
one day, he said, when he shipped out maybe four
or five hundred, and then there was another day when
they shipped out four or five thousand cigars too, very
happy customers all over the country.

Speaker 6 (01:23:35):
Check it out.

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
You're gonna like them just as much as I do.
Lcoubano Cigars dot com. If you can't spell that, look
it up El Cubano. Everybody around here can spell that.
Lcubano Cigars dot com. If he turn on S FOURT
SOX seven ninety The Dougpike Show, thanks for listening this
morning to If you don't if you don't spend time

(01:23:56):
in the outdoors, now that's that's your own fault. They're
always have to make time. And even if you can't,
if you can't go visit a national park, maybe go
to a state park. You can't get to a state park,
go to a county park, you can't get to a
county park, go to a city park. And if you
can't get there, just go out in the backyard. But
just get some well I'd say, get some fresh air.

(01:24:16):
And depending on where you are, it might be fresher
than some places are fresher than others. Get outside, get
a little vitamin D working for you, and just just
do something that will benefit you and go do what
Rick Bist did. Just pick a place where you can
kind of hide a little bit, and I'll tell you
what's fun to do it. To do this with is

(01:24:40):
invest in. You don't have to get a fancy one.
Just invest in one of those little pop up blinds,
little things that kind of like a pop up tent,
only they're camouflage so it looks really cool. And just
go set one of those up somewhere, sit inside, especially
with the weather the way it is now, sit inside
along a creek edge. This is what Captain Scott does,

(01:25:00):
to a much more sophisticated degree when he's trying to
get pictures of wildlife. Set up next to it, next
to a little water body, and just sit there patiently
and quietly for as long as you can stand it
or until dark, whichever is first, and then just see
what kind of animals show up, See what's walking around

(01:25:22):
in the woods around you. You don't know unless you
really give him a chance to show up, and that
means sitting there very patiently and very quietly for a
long long time. Faux Pro sent me something very interesting.
I got a sneeze trying to come on. If if
I go silent for a second, you'll know why. He
challenged AI, which is kind of a it's not a

(01:25:45):
challenge anymore, it's just an assignment. Here's what he wrote
for AI. Write a one hundred word statement on how
to catch a snook. Faux Pro's got his sight set
on snook fishing, and I don't blame him. That's still
probably my favorite saltwater game fish. And in fact, I
just talked to Brian Berera down there in South Texas

(01:26:06):
yesterday after the show about possibly getting down there this
year and jumping in his boat with him, and boy,
I'll have some stories to tell when I get back
because I'm going to really focus tightly on snook. So
faux Pro says, write a hundred word statement on how
to catch a snook. This is what AI generated. To

(01:26:27):
catch a snook, choose the right tackle a medium light
to medium heavy action spinning or bait casting rod in
reel with a fifteen to twenty pound test line. Select
lures like jig spoons or plugs that mimic bait fish,
or use live baits such as shrimp or mullet fish
near structures like mangroves, docks, or bridges, especially during title changes.

(01:26:49):
Set hooks quickly when you feel a bite, and be
prepared for strong runs, handle carefully, and consider catch and
release to conserve these valuable game fish. That's that's pretty
spot on. It really is. Now, it doesn't come with
the humanizing part of a personal anecdote from the writer,

(01:27:13):
and it doesn't really it doesn't really address the difference
between braid or monofilament or fluorcarbon. It doesn't address the
need for a leader. There's a lot of stuff that's
left out, but in a hundred words, that's pretty solid.
So the writers of the world, in any subject matter

(01:27:37):
except for breaking news, the writers of the world better
watch over their shoulders. And I include myself in that.
It's it's suddenly you've got competition from a machine that
can churn out in. I bet it didn't take three
seconds for AI to do that either. Just bit that out,

(01:28:00):
put all the sentences together, and complete sentences, complete words,
all of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
Change, here's the bottom line. We talked about change a
lot today. Changes in this, changes in that, hunting, fishing, golf,
all of that. We didn't get to any of the
other outdoor sports or outdoor recreation. But nonetheless it's there everywhere,
and you can either accept it or not. You can
either use it or not. There's still no law that
says you can't use old school stuff if you want to.

(01:28:29):
You can't rely on your own skills to catch fish
if you want to, or your own skills to find ear.
The new stuff's fun, and I think Captain Scott put
it pretty well where there's a balance and you and
it goes back to having that choice again. If it's
legal and the Parks and Walleafe Department tells me it's
not going to mess up the resource to use it,

(01:28:49):
then I'll probably use it and check it out. I'm
not a super fan of live scope, but if I
hadn't gotten a bite in six hours and somebody turns
on a scope and there's a big old bass under
a tree down below the boat, drop a jig down there.
I'm just saying. I will be back Tuesday four fifty
plus over on kPr C noon, and then I'll be
right back here Saturday morning. Thank you all so very

(01:29:11):
much for listening. I truly do appreciate it. And by
the way, if you want to be a part of
the family, shoot me an email. I got a couple
of special openings I'd like to share with you. Doug
Pike at aheartmedia dot com. I'll be back Tuesday, live
over on kprc Audios
