Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the Doug Pike Show, brought to you by
American Shooting Centers Guns Shooting at Instruction since nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Now here's Doug Pike. Welcome aboard. Sunday Morning starts right now.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
How about that lot prettier this morning than it was
yesterday evening? As yet another little cool Well, they're cool
fronts now, they're no longer cold fronts. We only had,
by the way, Melvin's back. Welcome back, Melvin.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Glad to be here.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
God, I swear I think you're in the CIA, dude,
I think you're undercover.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Are you just under the covers yesterday? Feeling kind of puny?

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Were you?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah? Man, just you know, down in the dumps. It happens.
It happens, dude, And we made it through.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Cal came running in here, took care of business for us.
I should appreciate him, you know. He doesn't know how
to put lives together like you do. Though, I hope
he's not a listing this morning. That's okay. We made
it and all turned out.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh, I'm glad you're back. The bump music.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Actually, he set the bar pretty high yesterday because he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Themed with bump music.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
But somehow, even though he and I are different in ages, well,
you're you and I are probably closer in age than
you and Cal are Cal and me. Cal and I
are pretty far apart. Okay, And I can't remember how
old you are. It doesn't matter, don't. You don't have
to tell anybody if you don't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't care. Good, we're fifty five? Oh are you
really fifty five? Shoot? Man, you look good.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
I'm loving fifty five. So you know, I'm barely remembering
fifty five.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's been it's been a hot minute since I was
fifty five, man. But nonetheless, so, yeah, you're kind of
in the middle between. It'd be cal than you than
me going into from youngster to geezer. You're right in
the middle. You're still not a geezer, yuh anywhere near it?
I'm nonetheless. Oh yeah, yeah, you got the G. Maybe

(01:59):
you're a G dude, Holy cow man.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
So, anyway, he played music that was popular, probably when
he was a very small child. I would think it
was that old. Most of it was, anyway, and it
just brought back a bunch of memories for me. Sweet
and you know, it was easy. I could relax because
I wasn't having to keep up with a theme. I
felt there's this pressure was lifted off of me. I'm

(02:24):
trying to figure this out. Now, Wait a minute, he's
not even playing the game, all right, So we'll get
back to that next week. Anyway, we are back, both
of us are, Melvin and me.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Thank goodness.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Wind still blowing, but not like it was, not like
it was yesterday yesterday afternoon, when the good heavens it
was late evening yesterday it was blowing a million around
my house. It felt like it wasn't. Of course, it
wasn't summertime tropical issue wind, but nonetheless it was blowing,

(02:55):
and I was glad. It's settled down a little bit
this morning. I do pretty rough ale on the coast.
The spring breakers are gonna be cold. Holy cow, twenty
see twenty one right there at the North Jetty, it's
not too bad. It's already come down some fourteen at
Missouri National Wildlife Refuge. On down the coast, Port O'Connor

(03:18):
is getting blown off the map twenty four down there.
It's got a little more west in it too than
everyplace else does That may be some sort of anomaly
I've got a twenty of seventeen to sixteen going down
over on the Bottlevard Peninsula. We're looking at twenty three
miles an hour out of the northwest. It's just still
coming on strong and it's going to continue to do that.

(03:40):
Let me see if I can open this map up enough,
I can't even find out where I can. Now I
see I gotta drag it. Yeah, even going all the
way up toward the top of the state, it's humming
pretty good.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Melviourn.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
We're not going to play the Texas temperature game. But
what would you guess just off the cuff, what would
you guess is the low temperature around the state right now?

Speaker 6 (04:01):
The low temperature average low temperature, No, not the average,
the lowest, the bottom. What's the bottom the lowest, Let's
say twenty seven. Dang man, you haven't lost a step.
Twenty five close twenty five. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
And right next to the twenty five that's showing at
Hempill is at twenty seven, and that would be whereas
at that's at Pampa, and then all the way up
there in Perryton where you can you can spit into Oklahoma.
Also twenty five degrees, So the high the high. Then,
now that this front has washed all the way across

(04:39):
the state and out into the Gulf of Mexico, what's
the high temperature in Texas?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
All right, let me see high temperature. Let's do seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Oh no, back to school, sixty one, oh sixty one.
Even down in the valley, I guarantee you there are
some very chilly spring breaker down at poured In who
are still gonna hard charge the beach.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
In about two hours. They're gonna stay out the water
for sure, and still in their swim swim attire.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
You know, I'm kind of old school, and some of
the things that are worn on the beaches today, we
just just wouldn't have cut it back when I when
I was growing up. It's it's hard to even call
it swimwear because that's that's not what you need to
wear for swimming.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's dental floss. Yeah, there's that, not much of it either.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
It's just it's bare necessities to avoid a public lewdness charge.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, technically, yeah, you're right, pretty much right, Holy cow,
you know, but it's somebody who grew up before there
was a spring break. We got a few days around Easter,
but not a whole week anyway.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
In high school, if I'd have had.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
A break as long as spring is this time of year,
my friends and I would have just jumped in somebody's
car and started racing farther down the Texas coast to
find a place we could jump out of that.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Car and go way to Bay. Or if we went.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
All the way down, all the way down to the
down to the down to the bottom of Texas, we
would have walked that Port Isabel Jetty and found lots
to do.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I guess there's so much.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
There's so much crowding now, and I'm not a big
fan of crowds, never really have been. But I'm not
a big fan of crowds anyway.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
I would rather I would rather stay close and go
to little places that I know I could maybe sneak
in and sneak out without getting without getting walked over
or run over.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
But I don't want to go someplace where there's ten
thousand people on the beach that a week and a
half from now, I would want to go down and
wade fish. I don't do crowds, especially when the crowds
aren't doing what I'm doing now. If there's a lot
of people fishing in the surf because it's a really
good morning, and they're out there just barely far apart
enough to make it comfortable, I don't have a problem

(07:15):
with that because I've been there, done that.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I know how to fish around people, and I'll get
in there.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
But if there are four thousand people on the beach
and I had to park a quarter mile from where
I really wanted to get in the water, that's no
fun for me.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
That's no fun. Have you ever, I'm asking the audience this.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Have you ever had gotten into a place and had
it become so crowded while you were standing there in
the water or standing there on the shoreline, maybe of
a lake or something. Well, I'm gonna get into that
a little bit in a minute. That's something else I
was thinking about this morning. And just had so many
people around you you just had to stop. It was
just uncomfortable. It wasn't fun anymore. That's I've only felt

(08:02):
that way a few times in the water. Oh, Melvin,
I'll tell you an interesting story about trying to keep
people away from you wadefishing. This guy did this. It's
got to have been forty. Might be fifty years.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Ago now actually could be, could be, but it's at
least forty.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I was down at the on Surfside beach, driving the
beach looking for a place to wade in because it.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Was it was so crowded, man, just so crowded. Okay, okay,
and I.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Can't find a place. I can't find a place, and
I just finally I parked because there was nobody. There
was one guy out there, and there was nobody within
one hundred yards of him, and up and down the beach,
no kidding. The fishing was so good that there were
that many people down there and they were all wading out.
There be three guys out of one car and they're
standing fifteen twenty feet apart, and three or four people

(08:53):
out of another vehicle and they're standing fifteen feet apart,
and it was just crazy crowded. But around this one
guy there was nobody. I thought, man, this is awesome.
And I could see he had a little string of
fish behind him. He's standing out there about belly button deep. Okay, okay,
belly button deep, and.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
He's got on like a big, big, big floppy white hat.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Okay, keep his son off his face. He's waiting bear chested,
which you to see that out there a lot. It's
no big deal. And so I think I'm gonna go
out and fish with this dude. This is gonna be
all right. How did he keep everybody else from fishing
around him? I couldn't figure it out. And just as
I'm walking out, he turns around. He's got all the
fish he wants to keep, I guess, and he's coming

(09:36):
back toward me.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
And he waited.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
He waited off of the second sandbar that he was
on and got down into about chest deep water for briefly,
and then he comes back on to the next sandbar,
coming back toward the beach, and he gets about belly
button deep. And I'm thinking, man, that that guy his
next cheeseburger won't be his first. Okay, pretty pretty husky guy, Okay.

(09:59):
And then he gets a little shallower and a little shallower.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
And I realized when he got up to about friday
why nobody was around him. He was waiting Melvin and
just a little white g string something. Man, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Kidding, dude, he had his stringer just tied around his
waist and he's standing there and barely legal attire, and
he just just proud of the peacock, walked back to
his truck, like, oh my god, I can't un see this.
I'll never unsee this in my entire life. And I've
hoped many times that I could that I can't talk

(10:38):
about setting boundary. Yeah, yeah, you know, anytime somebody waited
toward him, me probably just came in shallower for a minute. Hey,
come on over, fish is great over here, come on down.
Oh my word, it was my goodness. Yeah, that's what
I said. Did you know that the clocks in here
have not changed? By the way, why is that? I

(10:59):
have fucking giant iHeart communications. Uh, we're all of that
in the in a bag of nuts, and we got
seven eleven on the wall in.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Here, so we did not spring ahead at all. I
did last time.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I changed the clocks last night, and then of course
I leave my phone unchecked and it automatically rolled over.
There were some of my car. I get in the
car and it's I had to stop and fix that one.
But I did the clocks inside the house. There are
only a couple. The oven and the microwave needed to

(11:36):
be time changed. And man, do you do you know
anything about LEDs on ovens. I gotta change my mine
has some little some of the little bars have gone out,
they've gone on pro on just they're protesting.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
That's the engineering Tom question, you know, I could ask Tom.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, and what what somebody's gonna tell me is unplug
it and plug it back in only the plug. I
would have to remove the entire microwave. It's built in
to get to any to where it's plugged in. So
we're just gonna have to deal with it. Actually, it's
worse on the oven than it is on the on
the microwave. And we don't have to we don't use
that oven that much. All right, good heavens already, I'm

(12:17):
gonna recombobulate myself. I just went off onto a tangent
there that I had no intention of talking about.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
That guy. Now he's in my head again, great yours
and mine too. Oh yeah, just imagine that.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
I mean, he's he's he's a plus size man and
there's plenty of us out there, but he's more more play.
He's probably you and me together, okay, and wading out
there and just a little.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
As you put a dental floss barely covered thing. Yeah,
he came walking right out of the water, walked right
over to his truck, just like like that's what he
wore every day, which it probably was.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
We are Sports Talk seven ninety. Listen online at sports
seven nay dot com. Now more Doug.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Pike Pike Show on Sports Talk seven ninety. Thanks for listening.
Certainly do appreciate link term my headphones back up here
for a second.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
All right, let's go talk to Rick By see what's
on his mind this morning. What's up?

Speaker 8 (13:18):
Rick?

Speaker 7 (13:19):
I just told Melvin that three days, two days last week,
one day this week and a time change is starture?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
How many time changes have you had?

Speaker 7 (13:35):
What I'm saying is it's I mean, it's just I'm
just missing. Oh okay, okay, anyway, uh, welcome back Melvin.
A quick. I'm gonna back up you just a little
bit sea sick.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Oh yeah, we talked about that yesterday, didn't we the most.

Speaker 7 (13:58):
I'm gonna throw mine out and then I'm gonna ask
you a fishing question. I've been off shore many times.
I've been up to three hundred miles sure, and I've
been on boats where everybody was sick but me, And
I mean, I just didn't never has bothered me. Well,

(14:19):
I decided to take my wife to the Florida Keys
bone fishing and permit fishing with the guys. That's on
the gulf side. So it's a two real quick two things.
There was no shortage of bones and permit, but I
couldn't catch them.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
They're not the easiest fish to catch. You.

Speaker 7 (14:42):
You have to have the hardest kind of fish to catch.
I mean, for me, that's the hardest fishing I ever done.
It was fun. Yeah, you got to put it right
on their note.

Speaker 8 (14:52):
You got to hit them on the nose just about
and these fermater and fighter jet formation going.

Speaker 9 (14:58):
Through there and freezing, you know.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
But anyway, long that's different. I decided to let me
ask you a quick question.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Were you fly fishing or bait fishing?

Speaker 7 (15:10):
I had an open face, real and I hate them? Okay, okay, uh,
God God provided all of that here.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
No, there's not a bait cast East Louisiana.

Speaker 9 (15:24):
I don't think I believe it.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
I believe it. Anyway, I decided to take my wife
on an offshore night trip, okay, And the water was
it was small. It was there were six people with
the captain and two deckhands. And the the water would slick.
I mean it was literally mirror slick.

Speaker 10 (15:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
And we got out there and we were only five
or six miles out of marathon okay, and we stopped.
He turned on those lights under the boat and it
was absolutely amazing what we saw.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Cool. I got, oh no, that And.

Speaker 7 (16:09):
My first thought was I'm gonna be gone for this
is going to be an eight hour trip. Yeah, my wife.
My wife had a blast. But I prayed to God
and I say, God, if you'll get me back on
solid ground, I will never ever go past the jetty again.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Good Haven't that's a deal I have them, man, That's
that's not a deal with God.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
God gotta have to take care of you out there.
Don't you worry, you know.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
And we talked about that when Trey Acosta was talking
about the trips that they do with Galveston party boats yesterday,
and I like the way they had that little shorty
trip set up where you just.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Go to the jetties. Maybe you go to the end
of the Texas City Dike and catch a bunch of drum.
You're on a big boat. You got a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Around you, but you're not you know, you're not pinned
down there all day. No matter how bad it is
for you, it's gonna be over in a couple hours.
That's a good break in trip. Maybe you should try
one of those get your feet wet again.

Speaker 7 (17:11):
No, no, I'm not. I'm did my prayer and I
hadn't been back. I ain't going to. I got a
fishing question. Know the answer to that?

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Okay, God, I hope.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
So. Okay. In my left hand, I've got a light
colored lure, let's just say white. Okay, this experiment like that.
In my right hand, I have a black lure or
dark lure.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
Then I have two bodies of water. One is let's
just call it very very clear water. And then I'm
talking like bas fishing.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Okay, you're not off shore again, No, no, no, no, no, no,
I forget it.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
I'm not going off shore. The on my right hand,
I've got darker water. Let's just saying water colored water.
I have a light lord in a dark lore in
the in the light water, the clear water in the
darker water. Which color would you use for which color
of water?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
I'd throw that white one.

Speaker 11 (18:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
If that's the only two lures you got, I'd throw
that white.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
One in the clear water, and and I would ask
you how deep you're gonna be fishing with that black lure,
because the black lure, if you're if it's a top water,
then I like it because anytime when fisher look it
up and the sky is always gonna be brighter than
the light that's penetrating the water. Okay, it's gonna be
darker in the water than it is above the water,

(18:43):
even at night. Okay, there's just nowhere around that. So
anything above their heads is gonna be back lit by
the sky, and that's gonna make it stand out more.
You can, whatever color it is, it's gonna look black
when when the fish is looking up at the sky,
unless there's just a ton of air clear water down there.

(19:07):
So I like the dark lure in the in the
in the dingier water too because I think it'll it
may show up a little bit faster. And I'm gonna
I'm gonna sneak a rattle into that black lure just
because you didn't tell me there was one in the
white one, and that'll that'll help us well.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
The white lure for bass fishing men.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
I I I don't go wrong with white or some
variation of that for bass, because they eat a ton
of shad, and a shad down both sides. You can
call it silver, you can call it white, but it's
still a very light colored fish in the water. You
might put a dark stripe down its back to make

(19:46):
it look a little more like a shad, but that's
what they're eating. I caught caught a bass the other day.
Finally caught one out of that lake by the way, Rick.
I don't know if you heard me tell you yesterday
or tell everybody yesterday, but my little golf course lake,
I finally caught one bass. And I didn't fish that
much longer after I caught it either the baby steps.
I think that lake has a chance to turn around

(20:07):
if those horn rents will go somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
That makes sense, Well.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
Every bit of it make okay. But you just you
just assured me that I need to stick with my
one only use one lure, and if I can't catch.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Them, I'm going home.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, And I'm.

Speaker 7 (20:26):
Gonna stick with it for whether it's clear or dark water.
And you know what it is.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
It's that green frog or something not a frog.

Speaker 7 (20:34):
It's a green crawl lizard.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh yeah, the green crawl lizard. Yeah, there's nothing.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
I can put a bullet wait on me where I
can freak floating, and and I just that's just my
lure I know how to work. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
If you look at videos of of soft plastic lures
under the water and see how they react to rod
tip twitches and stuff like that, you understand why those
fish eat those things up.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
They do that. They look so natural in the water.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
All the soft plastics do, far more so than any
hard plastic like a crank bait that looks like a
shad or a lipless crankbait, rattle traps in that family.
They look like baitfish, but they don't stay in that
fish's eyesight as long as a soft plastic can.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
And that's I think what they find.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
They either get mad at it and need it, or
they finally work up an appetite need it when those
salt plastics are down there.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
Yeah, I think you here's the deal. I've used one lure.
I don't like changing lures. Yeah, and that's why I
don't mean from my boys. I'll go fishing with them
when I get to Cans, just because they're my son.
Of course, you know the problem is they're going to
each show up with four or five rods with four
or five different lures, and time you lay them on

(21:50):
the back of the truck and now they're all tangled up,
and I mean, they know what they're doing, but I
don't care what you fu kind of sleeve you put
them into a painting room rear and uh, but I
just sticked in my little lord. But I was asking
that question, the original question dark versus light for a
specific reason because I'm trying to help a young kid

(22:12):
at a lake right here by my house, teaching. Because
he is into it and he's asking me. I thought, no,
I need to confirm this with a real professional.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, just just the the lighter color.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
I'm thinking crank baits when I'm talking to you, because
that's what I throw a lot off. And that light
colored crank bait outfishes the dark one for me. Anyway,
in this little lake that's full of shad, it outfishes
anything white.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
Crank a worm is too slow for him. He's a
crank bait and he's a spinner bait guy. Uh, you know,
I get that. And so he's he's got a somebody
gave him a whole tackle box full of him. So
that's what he using. So he's asking me color. So anyway,

(23:02):
that's it. Hey, y'all have a great day. We had
some really serious win last night.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
But tell me about it.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
We made it.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah you might believe, all right. Yeah, that's a hard
question to answer in a short time. I would love
to have had more qualifiers. What what season is it,
what what's going on?

Speaker 2 (23:23):
What are they eating?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
All these different questions I would want to have answered
before I was going to make a decision. But bottom
line for me, if I had to choose between a
white lure and a black lure, unless we were fishing
at first light in shallow water, not well, not too shallow,
but listen, less than four feet of water first light

(23:44):
or last light or overnight, I'd go with the white
lure every time.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I think they're going to see it better. I really do.
Even in dingy water.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Uh, you might get more contrast that might see that
white thing flying by them. I mentioned and throwing the
black lure in a little bit of dingy water, and
I'm thinking tanning stained. It's not really it's not really cloudy.
It's just stained like this. Well, they call it tea
colored water. It's a it's a byproduct of the rotting

(24:14):
of leaves and stuff. This tannin that's released and that's
what gives that water that brown color. Man, there's so
many variables and fishing, and even even with the introduction
of all these forward inside sonar units, forward looking inside looking,

(24:36):
just you can look all around under the boat and
know exactly what's there, down to the species of fish.
If you understand how to read your electronics. But you
still got to put the right lure on the line.
It gets a little easier, I think for these guys
who are chasing bass out deep and just just moving
over bare bottom in these lakes and stomach on giant bass,

(25:01):
just sitting there next to somebody's old beer can or
just anything that can.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh yeah, I do need to break, don't I thank you, Melvin.
Nothing like having a professional back over there. Cal did
a great job yesterday for real and.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Good Chris Gordy had Chris Gordy came in and took
over after Cal. How about that. It was all hands
on deck man. We did we could year out we're
they're scrambling. We had the boss man come in with
bear scrambling.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
They have to. How are they gonna replace you? They can't.
Oh wow, they can't.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Your rockets and astros live here. We are Sports Talk
seven ninety.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
The conversation continues this as the Doug Pike Show.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Welcome back, seven thirty six on Sunday morning. Not a
bad looking Sunday morning either. I think this guy is
going to be clear for something like four or five
more days.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
I may look, I may look at the forecast here
in just a minute. I've got some some big plans
early this week. I'm gonna start taking advantage of daylight
saving time too. I'm so so glad that came along.
Let me get over to this mouse over yonder here
and bring up old Dave Man get tar Dave. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 9 (26:12):
Well, sir, Yeah, it's a it's overcasting, cloudy over.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Here, overcast. What state are you in?

Speaker 11 (26:19):
I'm in Houston and I can see right now a
little bit of sun, but the yeah, these are clouds here.

Speaker 9 (26:25):
I'm in Houston.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
All right, it's gonna go away soon enough. It was
pitch dark when I came in, so I'm not really
sure whether there were clouds or not. It was still
breezy though I thought it had all swept out. Maybe not.

Speaker 9 (26:37):
Yeah, you know. Then see, I'm gonna be heading back.

Speaker 11 (26:40):
I'm gonna try to get back out to about eleven
twelve o'clock up to the house out there Willison and
go fishing.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
I oh really, okay, how many how many houses you got, Dave?
You hold out?

Speaker 11 (26:53):
No hole, I'm in a rent house here, and then
we're rent in the house and then we're then.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
We're having it out there.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
That's awesome.

Speaker 11 (27:00):
Once that's done, I won't be here no more. I
mean I won't have to. I won't be heavy to
the rent. But anyway, okay, so on the on the
waiting fishing guy. That reminds me of one time that
uh man h Robert. Now it's it's clean, Robert Schneider.
Uh They were playing the gig somewhere and there was
a bunch of people there and everything, and it's still
guitar player Keene. He was pretty hefty, Dode. You know,

(27:23):
he's big. You know, he had a lot of McDonald's.
And anyway, so they're there and it's getting close to
the end, you know, when they're gonna take a break,
and so Robert gets up here to that. All right, folks,
we got to take a pause for the calls. Can
he broke his G string and he has to go
in the back and change it, you know on the guitar.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
A d G.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, a little saying he broke his G s.

Speaker 11 (27:47):
I mean, I was playing in the back of this crowd,
and when I heard him say that, I was just
cracking up.

Speaker 12 (27:52):
That's a good line man. So he has to go
in the back and change. But no, you break strings
on stage. I've seen George straight break one one and
he turn around here another. Hey, but yesterday, Okay, Now
I'm fishing over there in my spot right there, uh

(28:13):
and uh that family was there, and I'll tell you
and then okay, okay, okay, well, uh, I started rolling
everything out because I had to go pick some stuff
up at ten o'clock anyway, So I'm fishing the uh
handle on one of my buckets and stuff like that,
and then all of a sudden, I look up to
my right and there's this big tall game warden, older

(28:36):
game warden, and was walking up and I stood up
and I said, hey, Hey, how you doing you catching anything?

Speaker 11 (28:42):
I said, no, sir, And so right away I reached
him my way. I didn't eat even asked me for
my licens or nothing. I just reached my wallet, got
my license out and said, oh, and your show was
still going on.

Speaker 9 (28:53):
That's a dun pike, man, Yes, this was a dun pike.

Speaker 11 (28:56):
We talked about being good and safety on the water,
and man, that's good. He was looking and he was
looking at my at the license, and I said, a
long time ago when those came out. I was on
the eighty ninth Street pier and there was two young
game wardens and when I handed it to him, they
started looking at it and is.

Speaker 9 (29:14):
This what you're supposed to have? And I said, I hope,
so I just bought it from academy. He started laughing.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (29:22):
Now the lady next to me with all those kids,
she says, how old do they have to be?

Speaker 9 (29:27):
He said, seventeen.

Speaker 11 (29:28):
When they turned seventeen, they need to get a lot.
And then there was a couple over there with the
jet ski. Well, I don't know what they did and
didn't do right, but they had all their live jackets on,
they had their fishing riding in the back of the
jet ski. Jet Ski was there. Now he had him
back his trailer in there. He had to help him
get the trailer, you know, dying in the lord and

(29:50):
had him pull it out. But I don't know what
the situation was on that.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
So, yeah, that you just brought up a very important
part of spring break that I hadn't thought with so
many knuckleheads. Well they're now, they're just they're just uneducated
in boat ramp etiquette and boat ramp procedure. If you
want some cheap entertainment, you go buy six of your

(30:14):
favorite beverages, put them into one of those little small coolers,
maybe put a little ice on top of them, or
one of those ice packs, those blue as you can
get for a buck and a half, Get your lawn chair,
and just go sit at a public boat ramp somewhere
and just let it unfold.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Man, just let it unfold. It's so sonny.

Speaker 11 (30:31):
Far well, so far on this one over here. I
haven't seen too many of you know too much any
you know, everybody here when they're coming there. Because remember
they had all the fast turned guys. Oh yeah, man,
they could do that in their sleep. Yeah, but yeah

(30:52):
a lot of people can't either. They had their life
jackets on, they had their runels they're either uh, on
the registration on the boat or on the jet ski.
I don't know whether that has to be or something
like that. Hey, one question, you know, let's say, uh,
you know, if you if if if I got my
if I get my aluminum bunk from the farm up

(31:14):
there and come out here. Uh, unless you have a
motor on there, you don't have to have Well I
mean I got my tags on the side, but I
don't have them renewed right now.

Speaker 9 (31:24):
But it is my boat. Yeah, but but I'm just wondering. Uh, well,
I'll talk.

Speaker 11 (31:30):
I'll call the boat people, you know, the parts of
the wildlife and people, the parks and Wiley. Well, how
if you lose your I've got my titles and everything.
But if you lose it, you got to go there
to uh as far.

Speaker 9 (31:45):
As my line, I'm going to do it.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yeah, you got to jump through a bunch of hoops,
keep your paperwork proper in handy man.

Speaker 9 (31:54):
Hang you.

Speaker 11 (31:54):
If your driver's license goes out, uh, you know that's
bad because more than two years I think it is.
Then you got to get a BIRTHERTIF. But you have
to have a driver license, get a berthatif you don't
have that. Yeah, you have to have a blood relative.

Speaker 9 (32:11):
Come down and swear that you're who you are.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Oh my word. Yeah, you gotta do all that, buddy.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
You got to produce a driver's license to do just
about anything anymore except vote.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
In some states you can do that.

Speaker 7 (32:24):
You know.

Speaker 11 (32:24):
The one other thing is when they're making these new boats,
they better add another seatback there for your lawyer.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
You know that's a good point. Yeah, well, you're gonna
need one.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
If you're anything like Faux Pro and have as much
tackle as he does, you gonna have to have another
seat for your CPA.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
All right, man, I'm gonna I'm.

Speaker 11 (32:45):
Gonna hit back out there and how you and that
is getting I haven't really talked too much over there
right now, but I'm enjoying, just like I said, watching
the other people do everything and I just sit there
and I've been going through my equipment and sorting it out,
all right, watching the ducks, Watching the ducks, Watch the dugs.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Man, duck, get down. I gotta go, Harboddy audios. All right,
I'm gonna take a quick break. When we get back,
We're gonna talk to somebody who's a frequent flyer around here.
And every time he every time he calls, he's got
something important to say. I'll tell you that about him.
I'm not gonna tell you who it is. You'll recognize
the voice. So if you've listened for a while.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
Our Sportstock seven nineties, Houston the sports where you go
with iHeartRadio Now now get more Doug.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Forty nine.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I almost said seven forty nine, because that's what the
clock in here says.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Melbourne.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
You don't have any connections to the people who keep
the atomic clock.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Where is the atomic clock? By the way, dude, that's
a good question. The atomic clock, that's an assignment. Considered
an assignment. Who is in charge of the actual time?
Let me do some research on this, all right? Thanks?

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Hey Brian, what's up man? Brian Treadway jumping in. What's
going on?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Buddy?

Speaker 13 (33:57):
Well, I think I know one person that's in charge
of an atomic clock. He's actually building it in Texas.
Pretty famous guy in his Amazon Oh yeah, and Van
Horn of all places, well, Passo and Dripp and that's
where he's he's building this crazy clock.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
And I guess when you're a billionaire, you get to
do it traffic.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Things, whatever you want to do. Basically, and you can
hire a hunter. You don't even have to do it.
You just have to say you go do that. Here's
a here's a bucket full of money.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Go that's it.

Speaker 13 (34:26):
I think he's putting it in a cave or something
like that. And so y'all should listeners should listen to.
I got three things for you. They're all fishing related.
So the it'll be a fishing report and a seasonal idea.
But I'll give you I'll start off with the boat
faux Paul from yesterday. So I fished yesterday, but I'm
heading back to the boat.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Imagine take a guess. Take a guess why I'm having
to go back to the boat.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Man, there's too too many things in my head. Don't
don't leave me in suspense?

Speaker 2 (34:54):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Left my wallet?

Speaker 2 (34:57):
And oh no, oh all the way home and didn't.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
That's it.

Speaker 13 (35:05):
So, no matter how efficient you get on breakdown and
clean up, there's always that one thing.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Well, no, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna stop you in
your tracks and I'm gonna say, why don't you have
a checklist?

Speaker 4 (35:16):
That's I literally thought of that. It's like, why did
I not have the check Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
That way, you know, check wash, tuck away this, put
away that, clear that, and grab my wallet. That should
be the last of them, should be the first thing
on the checklist.

Speaker 13 (35:33):
Well, I went and I got my keys out, so
I get the boat and I left. I had my
I guess I had my phone in there, and I
was like, you know, I don't like the You're always
afraid to take too much out of the boat.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
In between fish you drop it. And that was my mentality.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
You're gonna make two trips for a phone and a wallet.

Speaker 13 (35:51):
Well, yeah, I got Yeah, so I got my phone
because I'm talking to you on but.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you another little tick tip.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
Okay, for the phone, the wallet and the keys, get
one of those little waterproof fold up zip up bags.
Put all three in that. Then you only have to
take one thing out of the boat. I know, I'm
trying to help.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
I listen.

Speaker 13 (36:15):
I literally have one of those plastic cast netboxes in
my center console.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Yeah, and that's where it all goes. So I stay together,
all right, let me get you report.

Speaker 13 (36:25):
And so we fished West Gallison Bay area, you know,
kind of northern part on chocolate.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
Okay, Mike Williams.

Speaker 13 (36:33):
I've always listened to it, and he's like, if you'll
ever get a chance to listen to him, I mean,
you know the name, sure Tarp. I mean, he always
has great knowledge, and if y'all don't know who he is,
he's a longtime guide from way back in the day
and he's still around. And he always said when it
kind of kicks off on our part of the coast
was always mid April. So I was in the belief
of really thinking January, February, March for our three winter months.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
So I still winter fish this time here.

Speaker 13 (36:58):
Sure, And and it's I had multiple boats yesterday.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Tell me it was a grind out there. One or
two had.

Speaker 13 (37:04):
Fish, you know, and the fish acted like it was
winter fishing. And so the one thing I did see though,
was I was starting to see spurts of glass meadows,
tiny tiny fry they were busting across the water. I'm
sure fish were ripping through there. Well sure, I mean
we're talking the teensiest probably less than a crappie jig

(37:26):
type lure is probably what all those fish are eating
one and it's tough to catch them on shrimp cout
top waters when all they're eating is tiny, tiny things.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, you got a match the hatch man. I was
just talking to Melbourne about that off air a little
while ago.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (37:41):
So one lure that I have had success with, but
of course it was in my box yesterday and I
don't know why. But there's a fresh road of lure
that I used in saltwater that the ripfish guides turned
me onto and it's real good around shell and it's
by Man m A and ns Man but it's called
a baby minus one.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Shoot, dude.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
I've been throwing redfish for I learned about them in
Louisiana like twenty five thirty years ago.

Speaker 13 (38:10):
So what's crazy is I'll be throwing for red fish
and I catch flounder this time a year because they're
just starting to.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
Move back in.

Speaker 13 (38:19):
Yeah, and I've had to say, well, why are they
They're hidding glass mendows, but why are they attacking that
little what's the what's the key?

Speaker 4 (38:26):
And that thing rattles.

Speaker 13 (38:28):
I throw a shartruse color, so it's got kind of
a color, it's got vibration and it's got noise, and
I just I think they just get.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Mad at him.

Speaker 13 (38:36):
I really think they get mad at him because I'm
just throwing and ripping it, and I'll hit a point
two or three times and all of a sudden the
plander comes up, you know, and then I get them
on the boat and he coughs up all the glass menos.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, holy cow.

Speaker 8 (38:48):
I want to just.

Speaker 13 (38:49):
Throwing idea out there for everybody, like, hey, it's still
a little early, you know, April fifteenth, if you were
to throw you know, have one day on there that
really kicks it off. But it's still still end of winter.
We're still seeing that water tanser up yesterday.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Are you driving, Brian, Yes, sir.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Okay, I just couldn't tell because you're kind of coming
in and out. You're in a sounds like you're in
a porta potty for a minute and then it comes
back normal, go back, and so what's what's point number three?

Speaker 13 (39:19):
Well, so, so hey, it's it's understanding where winter time,
you know, the boat bow Paul, then the lower tip
and that's that's really it.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
That's I'm going.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
To give you something.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Then on the way out, and you're talking about those
fish eating those little baby glass minutes and you can't
figure out how to how to catch them if you've
got time on your hands, maybe watch something on TV
or whatever. I used to to make my own little
like a little taut rig, a double taut rig with
go to go to the home or not home depot,

(39:51):
but office depot and buy some of those big pins
with the clear bodies and cut them in little two
inch just little two inch pieces kind of at a
forty five degree angle, and run some silver metallic pipe
cleaner up in there. And then you got to figure
out how to do it. It's not hard, but you

(40:11):
just make a double rig out of that with a
little like about a number eight or number ten treble
hook hanging out the back of them off of a
swevel each and then just rig them like a tandem rig.
And dude, you have to put a little bit of
weight on them to be able to cast them, because
two inches of big pin doesn't weigh a whole lot.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
But man, they will absolutely smoke those things if they're
eating those big baby glass minutes.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Have you ever thrown the fly in the gummy minnow?
Have you ever played with those?

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I had not really fly? Yeah, no, yeah, I.

Speaker 13 (40:46):
Think a trailing one of those would just be and
I mean it's not fly fishing, but I think for
a fly fisherman, that's the kind of and then put
it behind a tout er.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
That's that's what I haven't done, but what the intention is.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Well, you know, something else that you can throw them
with is something that the trout fisherman uses. That's a
clear bubble. This is a little clear casting bubble. You
just drop those two behind there, man, you can smoke them.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
I think I don't know if there's a rule about
using two lures at once. I can't remember. There was
something a while back. There was some controversy about that. Yeah,
I'm with you. I don't think it's a big deal.
All right, man, it's great to hear from you. As always,
my friend.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
You'll be safe. I'm telling I'm heading to the boats today.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
No, don't tell us your secret spot. Yeah, go back
and get your wallet, all right, man, drive safely. I'll
see you later.

Speaker 9 (41:33):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Brian. That's Brian Treadway.

Speaker 9 (41:37):
Great guy.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I've known him for many many years.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
That little big pen thing, I'll tell you where else
that used to work was back when there was a
pier at San Luis Pass. That's the first place I
ever tried them at night, and holy cow, and then
I just went off. I went crazy for those things
for about three years, I guess, and put all kinds
of colored pipe cleaners in them, and so you can

(42:01):
manipulate them any way you want to. But the bottom
line is all you got to do is just run
some leater material through the thing.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Tie on, tie on your hook at the back.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Once you get you do that first, and then you
can shove that pipe cleaner up in there. And I
was getting to wear I would I would put a
tiny little strip of lead on the bottom to make
sure it traveled a little more true, because sometimes they'll
try to turn over and twist on you. But if
you've got a little time and a good imagination and
or handy with a pair of needle nosed pliers.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Handy with a with not tying, and have.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
A few extra little quality barrel swivels to play with,
you can turn out some really awesome looking glass minnow imitations.
Or you can just go buy the croppy lures. They'll
do the same thing too, But it's fun to catch.
It's fun to catch fish on lures you make yourself.

(42:59):
This is the Doug Pike Show.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Brought to you by American Shooting Centers Guns Shooting at
Instruction since nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Now here's Doug Pike.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
All right, welcome back nine oh three on Sports Talk
seven ninety The Doug Pike Show.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Thank you for listening. Certainly, do appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (43:16):
Boy.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
I was making little scratchy notes all the way through
these last couple of phone calls I've had.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
On things I wanted to talk about.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Um, there was one I saw, and I bet you
that a lot of this audience saw it too, because
we probably follow a lot of the same people, have
a lot of mutual friends and such. There was a
video taking on a commercial snapper boat and commercial fishing
for red snapper, perfectly legal in season, and this, that
and the other.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
You have to have the right permits all of that stuff.
So I'm not saying anybody did anything.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Illegal, but man, when I see it firsthand, when I
see it happening, it's a it's an eye opening thing.
They drop these big lines down that have fifteen or
twenty hooks. It's kind of like a vertical long line,
if you will, a vertical short long line, probably thirty

(44:10):
met twenty feet. Let's call it maybe twelve even might
be that little between hooks, and got these mechanical or
electric reels. Basically they're like bicycle wheel reels and have heavy,
heavy mono on them, and everything goes down baited, and
then after a couple of three minutes, if they're on

(44:31):
the right spot, they whine that thing back up from
the depths. And the number of really big read snapper
that came over the side of that boat all at
once was just staggering. I want to say, there were
fifteen or twenty hooks on that thing, and every one
of them had a snapper bigger than ten pounds on it,

(44:52):
every single one of them, and most of those fish
were probably twelve to fifteen pounds.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
And I thought that would be a.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Pretty fun just that box of fish right there, That
one drop box of fish right there would be pretty
full day for a lot of recreational fishermen. Now I'm
not saying to get rid of recreation or get rid
of commercial snapper fishing, but it just is a reminder
of how fast they they do their work to get

(45:22):
their fish, and how how much we have to invest
to go out and catch two And at some point
that might merit reevaluation. I'm not gonna linger on that though.
That was just an aside something I saw there.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Where was the other one of these? Okay? I talked
about that a little while ago.

Speaker 10 (45:46):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
One thing.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
One thing I will ask is any if any of
you have issues with daylight savings time. Frank I mentioned
it earlier and I changed the clocks. I'm not going
to miss a fishing trip. We didn't miss hunting trips
during wintertime. Daylight saving time goes away, typically right around
the opening of waterfowl season. I can remember a lot

(46:09):
of Sunday mornings where it was kind of weird and
spring you fall back, and a lot of people would
show up at that little restaurant we met at, sometimes
even before the place opened up because they had messed
up and not rolled their clocks back.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
And I'm just wondering if any of you do. I
doubt it.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
As an outdoors person, I think most of us are
more interested in whether or not it's daylight or dark
than whether there's an actual time that we're trying to keep. Now,
if you're going to drive to someplace and go fish,
you've got to leave it a certain time, So you
have to look at your clock and watch or whatever

(46:52):
like that, or your phone. That's what everybody looks at
everything on their phone. Nobody has a Do you wear
a watch, Melvin, I sure do, okay, Yeah, so that
I have to you know that.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Yeah, that pretty much tells people how old we are. Yeah,
I have to wear it.

Speaker 7 (47:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
You feel like you're undressed without it, for real, it's
not right. And yet you have a phone, and that
phone will tell you what time it is anytime you
want to look at anytime. I need to look at it.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
And mostly if you next time you're out in it,
like in a mall or something like that, look at
the teenager's wrists. Now, don't look like you're doing something
creepy if a bunch of teenage girls walk by, But
just look at the wrists, Okay, and count how many
teenagers you see and how many watches you see, and
the numbers are going to be drastically different. My son

(47:46):
had more to watch since he was probably twelve years old,
because he doesn't need it anymore. He didn't care what
time it was before that. It was just whenever we
said it's time to go to baseball or it's time
to go to cooking class or whatever it was. He'd
just say okay and get in the car. He didn't
know what time it was, he just knew it was

(48:06):
time to go somewhere.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
But yeah, I'm man.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
I don't feel like I'm ready to leave the house
if I don't have a watch on it. And I own
several now there are also there are several of them
that need batteries right now, Oh of course.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
And I have one.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
I have one nice watch that doesn't require batteries, but
I do have to keep it. It's an old school
it's an old school, very nice watch, but it has
to be wound.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
And now it will.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
Keep itself going once you once you wind it up
and kickstart it. Basically, there's it's one of those things
where you just roll your wrist and it kind of
keeps itself going.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
But that's that's the art behind the wearing the time piece.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
It's a lot, but yeah, yeah, it's it's you know,
it's okay, quick quick short story sidebar. Years ago, I
had I had to take that watch into the shop
to have it cleaned and just like am changing the
oil on it, basically like an oil change for a car.
And I took it in and I had a really
important business meeting the next day. And the guy who

(49:15):
had sold me the watch is a good friend, Tony Box,
And I told Tony, I said, look, I got to
drop this watch off, but I got a really important
meeting this afternoon, and I don't want to look like
an idiot, Okay, I want to wear a nice watch
to the something similar to what I have.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
And he brought.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Out this shoe box out of the safe of watches
and just used watches that he had taken in trade
or whatever, and he said, what suits your eye? And
he pulled out two of them that were just way
more flashy than I wanted to be. I mean, sparkly flashy.
That's not me, I said, you know me, Tony, I'm

(49:55):
a little more subdued than that. Okay, I'm a little
more conservative than that. He goes, how about this one?

Speaker 2 (50:02):
And he pulls out this like crocodile banded paddock Philippe
watch and said.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
What about this? You want to wear that to the meeting.
I said that'd be awesome. What's that watch worth?

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Tony?

Speaker 3 (50:14):
And this is twenty twenty five years ago. He said,
I don't know about forty grand, something like that whoa.
I said, you sure you trusted me with it, and
he goes, yeah, I trust you with it, just don't
lose it, like okay. So anyway, I went to the
meeting and nobody there was only one person. There was
one woman, and there were ten people in this room.
And there was one woman who could not take her

(50:36):
eyes off that watch. She didn't listen to a word.
I said, she didn't hear a word. I said, she
was just looking at that watch the whole time, and
everybody else was.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Just normal people.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
And it'd be like me, I wouldn't have I wouldn't
have known what it was unless he had told me.
But it was fun. Oh right, good heavens I had
time to take a call here. I'm gonna start with David.
See where we go from there, David, what's up?

Speaker 14 (50:56):
Man?

Speaker 7 (50:58):
Yeah? Real quickly?

Speaker 10 (50:58):
Does sure?

Speaker 8 (50:59):
I like it and I don't like it.

Speaker 7 (51:01):
I like it because I'm kind.

Speaker 8 (51:02):
Of an early starter, and I hate it when the
sun turn up for an hour and you know it's.

Speaker 9 (51:07):
Only yeah, yeah, okay, but I.

Speaker 8 (51:11):
Hate it for the fact that it's so late, like
if you're hog hunting in the summer, it's ten o'clock.
Really but the other thing and real quickly more for
your bus show, you mentioned watch.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
I'm retired.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
I wear a.

Speaker 8 (51:24):
Watch a lot less, but I feel like I can't
leave the house without a hat. I think that's an
older guy thing, but I feel like I'm as my
watch says, she feels naked if.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
She didn't have earrings.

Speaker 7 (51:36):
I feel naked if I don't have a hat.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Anyway, what type of hat do you wear?

Speaker 7 (51:42):
Typically a baseball cap.

Speaker 13 (51:43):
I finally got her.

Speaker 8 (51:45):
I finally got my watch to let me buy a
hat rack. She did not like a hat rack. So
I've got a hat rack now, kind of toward the
front of the house, and I can reach over there
and grab whichever one I want to wear.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
But that's the odds of me getting to put a
hat rack at the front of the house by the
front door.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Slim and none. Slim just left town. That'll do you.

Speaker 7 (52:05):
Like to wear a hat?

Speaker 2 (52:06):
I wear all caps a lot, I really do.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
I don't work because it's just inappropriate that my hair
is so thin. Man, It just it would make me
look like I had a like i'd had a rubber
band around my head, you know, And that's I already
fight enough I'm not that pretty to look at anyway.

Speaker 4 (52:23):
Though.

Speaker 8 (52:24):
Well, I'm saying we have to worry about two Doug,
and I'll be sure, but you have been in the
sun so much. We have to worry about that skin cancer.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
And by I know, I do.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Yeah, if I'm outdoors doing anything, I've got a cap
on every every day.

Speaker 7 (52:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
My son's hair is it's thick like a mop man.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
And he he doesn't wear caps to do much of anything.
He really doesn't. And so far he's okay, but I'm
I'm talking to him. He knows he's not gonna do
it right away, but he knows he needs to be
wearing them.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Hey, I'm gonna catch up. Yeah, I'll catch Bob before
I go. Thanks man, Thanks David. See, buddy, let me
catch Bob before we go to this break here? Real quick?
What's up, Bob?

Speaker 14 (53:02):
Well, real quick. First of all, I told you something
wrong yesterday. It wasn't genty a ginger root.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Oh home, man, there's guys. There's guys at home, right, guys.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
On a party boat somewhere on their way offshore, feeling
really sick already ginger root. That makes that makes better
sense now, Okay.

Speaker 9 (53:22):
Yeah, I'm sorry about well, I.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Didn't catch you on it either.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
I would have known if you just said which one
is it, I would have said, yes, ginger Root.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
But yeah, I think we're cold age.

Speaker 9 (53:33):
That's all right, old age.

Speaker 14 (53:36):
First, let me get it real quick, because I know
you're going to break. We're looking for someone that does
real repairs. Maybe one of your listeners know I'm up
here on the each side, Okay, used to be a couple.
I can't find that in men, buddy of mine, got
not old old ones with some of we wanted to
take and have, you know, cleaned up and stuff.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
You know, if you know, man, I'm gonna throw it
out into my audience and see if we can find
a couple of real repair places there.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
There's one up in like in Spring Branch, I think.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
And then FTU I think still has somebody who will
pick up reels and repair them. I don't know whether
they do it in house anymore, but they certainly used to.

Speaker 7 (54:19):
And so.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Yeah, I'm kind of a di y guy, but I
got a couple of them. If I can find somebody
I can trust and not charge me an arm and
a leg, I got several of them. I'm gonna go
just let them overhaul them because they're still they're just
gummed up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
All right, Well find somebody. I'm on the northeast, northeast
side real repair. We're gonna find somebody, Okay, Bud, you
bet adios?

Speaker 3 (54:49):
All right, I need some real repair help. And I
know there aren't many places left, which for somebody who's
got an empty tool bench and handy with small tool
might not be a little that might not be a
bad side hustle. I'm sure the part and the parts
are easy enough to get, and you would have to
start with an inventory of parts, but even just even

(55:13):
just cleanings with in discovery, open those things up a
little more than the average person's willing to open them
up and really see what's causing a problem. Who knows
what it would be bearings, It could be a little
bit of rust somewhere on that reel. It could it
could be anything. So fingers crossed will find somebody.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety on the Go with
iHeartRadio Friends.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
You've got to try.

Speaker 5 (55:40):
The conversation continues this as the Doug Pipe Show.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
On a day two, another mind.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Looked right up there and called out the wrong times
only by an hour only because our clock didn't re
rush last night.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
I don't know why that does that. It's just somebody will.
It'll be fixed before everybody comes into work tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (56:07):
I presume. Oh do you now I'm listening. We have
some ride in real repair places. A boy uh Roy
called in and suggested the Ride and Real Reply Repair
Center and.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
That, Oh, yeah, that's up where that's up where we're
talking about this. Yeah, And he said, asked for acts
for Ashley.

Speaker 6 (56:30):
We had Matt call in and said, Angler's anonymous and
that's in Katie.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
Oh, okay, I didn't know about that one either. See,
these these are very They're typically small shops, one or
two people working there. It's because it's not not like
a get rich quick scheme. Most most people can do
basic repairs on reels or basic they can do maintenance.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I don't know that they can repair.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
And it's a little bit intimidating once you get past
taking the handle off and getting a pull out to
kind of dig around any deeper in there, and you
run the risk of putting it back together and realizing
there's still two parts on the table and you don't
know where they go and you can't remember it all.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
So that's handy to have. That's me with auto mechanics.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
You know, it used to be easy to work on
cars and trucks when there there were no electronics involved,
and you could practically with a lot of the old
pickup trucks that if you were getting a smaller engine
in them, and even the cars too, the smaller engines,
you could practically stand inside the engine compartment under the
hood and just do the work right in front of you.

(57:41):
Now you just you have to have a lift basically
to do anything.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
On a car.

Speaker 6 (57:46):
Yes, So when I do any maintenance on anything, I
have to have a marker, some paper and a tape,
and as I take the parts off, I.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Just number them.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Yep, that's a good idea, and then I work back
one two three, three two one.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
Yeah, that idea. I hadn't even thought about that. That's
a genius.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
A friend of mine and I years ago, when I
was a crazy young man and driving a pretty fast
car that had some work.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Done on it and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
This buddy of mine we were so into cars that
for my birthday he gave me a new clutch, a
heavy duty clutch to put into this car and it
needed it for the way it ran. And his father
had a place that had a storage shed, a big,
big place of workspace that had a lift in it

(58:34):
and like a car designed lift where you could take
the engine out of the car.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
And when I got the book on my car to
figure out how to do this, it said, you can
replace the step one. You can replace the clutch after
removing the engine. Step one removed the engine, and we

(59:00):
looked at each other and you know, just said challenge accepted.
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
And I went without a car for about two weeks
because we worked full time and we were just busy dudes.
But for about a week, week and a half maybe
two weeks, I was without a car, and we proudly
finished up and had no parts left over. What we
did is every time we took a part out, we
would set it on along the wall, kind of the

(59:25):
same system you were using, but we just had.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
To do it along the wall.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
We weren't smart enough to think of numbering them and
taping them. And we got it all done. But it
was quite the experience. Everything's just so much harder to
work on nowadays, and that's you know, there's going to
be a lot of room for young people looking for
a job. Mechanical work is going to be pretty pretty

(59:50):
necessary and valuable with the coming generations, because it's becoming
more and more difficult even just to change your own
oil or just change anything on a car. Really seven

I will go back, and I'll have to go off
topic to tell you the story.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
I'm gonna tell you very quickly.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
This boat ramp entertainment I was I was sharing with
with Melvin. Just get six of your favorite beverages and
sharing with Melvin and you six of your favorite beverages.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
A lawn chair.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
If it's a really hot summer day, bring one of
those umbrellas you can put on the back of the
lawn chair and just sit there and look at your
phone until you hear voices get a little loud, and
you're probably gonna see somebody either parked on the boat
ramp and unclear on how to get a boat out
at all, or maybe there's a trailer jackknifed on the boat.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
Ramp that happens a lot. There are now.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
It's just as entertaining as can be. And occasionally you'll
get to watch a free boxing match too. It's amateur boxing,
but it's boxing nonetheless. And there are actually people now,
young entrepreneurial adults, who make up little signs and sit
there on the edge of the ramp and just say
I will back your trailer or I will load your

(01:01:22):
boat for ten bucks, and they'll they'll have a walk,
they'll have a pocket full of money when they leave,
I guarantee you, because he's Nobody wants to be that
guy on the boat ramp because it's just it's embarrassing,
it's humbling, and you just look like a fool if
you can't, if you can't make that turn, back that

(01:01:42):
trailer down the ramp and get the boat in, get it,
get the trailer back out, go park it somewhere and
get that boat out of there fast.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Everybody wants to get on the water.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
Nobody wants to wait on you, and it's it's intimidating
to somebody who's never done it before. It's very hard,
and it just makes it worse if people start yelling
at you. The best thing you can do in that situation, honestly,
is just go over there and say, hey, man, I
know you're having a hard time. Let me let me
try to help you, and I'll just I'll walk you
back down the ramp, or better yet, if you want

(01:02:14):
me to, I'll back your boat into the water for you.
And I've had a couple of times when I've actually
gotten to do that for somebody. They just let I'm done.
I can't do this. I just bought this boat two
weeks ago. It's the first time I've tried.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
To lunch it and I can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
They get kind of kind of worried that somebody's gonna
punch him in the nose. I've never seen it, really,
I've never seen it come to blows really.

On Sports Talk seven ninety. I was just singing that
song out loud in here. I hope nobody heard me.
I didn't have the mic opened up. Thank goodness. It's
not that bad. I could still sort of almost hold
my own I guess.

Speaker 8 (01:03:31):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
I'm looking at a couple of emails really quick before
I get to that leaderboard. Mark, I'll back over in Georgia. Man,
thanks for listening this morning. This is from earlier in
the show. Remind everybody that black and white can be
your friend. So I took this picture in the middle
of the Atlantic Ocean. Oh wow, black and white photography.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Holy cow. Yeah, that is really cool. That is really
cool there. Oh man, Yeah, I like that picture. That
was actually from yesterday, I think it was, was it? No, No,
it was from this morning, eight fifteen, this morning, seven
on three, two on two, five, seven ninety. Let me
get to that golf tournament.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Here, the Arnold Palmer Invitational over at bay Hill, and man,
they were outside of Orlando a little ways.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Colin Moore cowa leading at ten under par. Just ten.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
It's been a very difficult golf course all week, and
it's sure as heck not gonna be any easier today
for these guys. They're gonna whoever ultimately wins this tournament
will have earned it. Russell Henley's only one shot back.
In Henley, he's kind of a guy who he he'll
come right out and tell you I like playing hard
golf courses, and it's showing here. He tends to excel

(01:04:52):
the heart of the courses. Here is one shot off
the league going into the final round of the tournament.
Cory Connors at eight is two shots off the lead
alone in third, Jason Day at seven, three shots off
the lead alone in fourth. You got Michael Kim and
Tony feen Out tied for fifth at five, and then

(01:05:14):
there are well I read three more guys, Andrew Novak,
Stepstraka and Shane Lowry, all at four under par, a
handful of threes, and it goes on from there. Outstanding,
outstanding field, outstanding tournament. Again, that's one of the hardest
golf courses these guys plays. It sets up to be

(01:05:36):
almost as difficult or in some I guess in some
cases you could say it's more difficult in some ways
even than a US Open set up. But it's a
heck of a tournament. And these guys are they're struggling,
Make no mistake, they're struggling. The cut line was at
plus four ended up. It was at clus plus five
earlier on Friday when I looked at it. If you

(01:06:00):
didn't do better than that, you you went home. It's
usually a little easier than that on these guys. Let
me go talk to Dave.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
See what's up? Hey, Dave, what's up?

Speaker 7 (01:06:10):
Man?

Speaker 10 (01:06:12):
Good morning?

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
How you do it?

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
I'm good? Thank you?

Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
Well, I just.

Speaker 10 (01:06:18):
If I want to remind everybody that we're the people
who do the genetic testing in restaurants for authenticity on
the menu. And last time we spoke, we talked about
an authenticity rate of sixty inauthenticity rates of sixty percent
in Galveston, which was better than what's actually come since

(01:06:42):
we actually did testing in Tampa. Sent Pete and we
got forty two out of forty four restaurants being inauthentic.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
Wow, wow, Lady Temple.

Speaker 10 (01:06:54):
Yeah, yeah, tempercent, Pete, And yeah, it's terrible, but isn't
exactly wonderful?

Speaker 7 (01:07:01):
Either.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
That's a good point.

Speaker 7 (01:07:03):
But one thing.

Speaker 10 (01:07:04):
One thing I will say is that we are definitely
seeing a trend in Louisiana where they've actually passed legislation
truth in on the menu. Yeah, I saw that, And
the last time we went into Louisiana, the authenticity rate
was seventy better. And in New Orleans, which surprises the

(01:07:27):
heck out of me, the authenticity rate was actually about
close to eighty four percent.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
I think you know that that city has a reputation.
Melvin was in there, you know, just fis bumping himself
over that being so good.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
It's the river, Yeah maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
But that New Orleans food has a reputation to uphold,
and I think that's kind of that probably are self
policing almost well.

Speaker 10 (01:07:58):
It sort of surprised me, and I have a lot
of respect for that situation. But right now the Texas
legislature is trying to pass similar regulations in Texas, and
I think it needs to be done so that when
you go down to the coasts and you see fishing
boats and people have nets on the walls and stuff,

(01:08:20):
they need to be serving golf shrimp. So I think
people if they're given a choice on the menu, actually
on the line out of the menu would prefer authentic
golf shrimp or American court shrimp than imp So.

Speaker 11 (01:08:37):
I would agree anybody knows, anybody.

Speaker 10 (01:08:40):
Who knows anything about legislation, get hold of whoever you
need to get hold of, and say please pass this,
because communities on the coast really depend on they truly do.

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
There are a lot of people who what what percentage
of shrippers, of American shrippers do you think have been
kind of nudged out of being able to make a
living at what they do in the past ten or
twelve years because of so many more imports coming in.

Speaker 10 (01:09:06):
Almost nobody is making a living now. Basically, the numbers
of shrimpers on the Gulf state by state have gone
from thousands to hundreds. And the people who are in
there now, most of the commercial fishermen are in the sixties.

(01:09:27):
There's no real recruitment of younger people because it's it's
a hard job, it's a thankless task. It's a job
that you should people should be proud that their commercial fishermen.
And instead of being proud that commercial fishermen, most of
them have to go on government support during the close season,

(01:09:53):
just to survive.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
So is there a problem day with the shrimp population
or is it aroblem with competition?

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Yeah, competition, it's the.

Speaker 10 (01:10:05):
There's golf and East Coast shrimp fisheries very almost the
most post chelf for sustainability. There no work considers a
well managed resource and if they just got the money
that they were getting ten years ago for shrimp, they

(01:10:27):
would be doing well. The price of shrimp has gone backwards.
The only thing I will say is year hopefully because
of multiple efforts from multiple people, the prices start moving upwards,
but still it's way under where it should be. So yeah,
you play a premium, you pray a premium for seafood

(01:10:51):
for shrimp, and it's one of the cheapest items on
the menu. The I was talking to somebody who went
to the National Restaurant Association at one of their meetings
and they actually said, the price of peel shrimp is
cheaper than the price of grand b right now if
you're buying imported. So it's that's why there's if you

(01:11:13):
look on any menu, there's multiple shrimp items for sale.

Speaker 9 (01:11:19):
Makes you know, but.

Speaker 10 (01:11:21):
They keep on charging as though it's a piece of
filat mignon you know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
That's a very good part.

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
Yeah, they don't give you a discount because it's shred,
but that's that's a higher profit margin.

Speaker 10 (01:11:30):
Huh wow, Yeah, it's you know, I understand restaurants are
in trouble. That's that's great, but diffording a customer is
not a way of improving your financial situation.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
I appreciate the information. Thanks for the update, Dave.

Speaker 10 (01:11:49):
Yeah, anytime, and if anybody wants to know more, we'll
go on to our website Seed Consulting Sea D Consulting
and you'll see many things that will interest you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
I'm sure.

Speaker 9 (01:12:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
I've looked at that website once or twice myself. I
guarantee you.

Speaker 7 (01:12:06):
Dave.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Thanks a lot man. Thanks for the update.

Speaker 10 (01:12:09):
Also, when in there, please check out Savannah because Savannah
it should be the same old senticity rate as New
Orleans because of its history and culture.

Speaker 4 (01:12:19):
Yeah, good point, and it was nowhere in there.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Oh wow, I will go look. Thank you, Dave. All right,
all right, yeah you too, Bye bye. Holy cow. I hadn't.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
That's that's a I love hearing from him, I really do,
because it opens our eyes to something that's been going
on for a long time and very few of us
probably realized that. And and I'm glad New Orleans had
just like I said that that food culture over there,
I think the restaurants would would raise flags. And that's

(01:12:52):
the restaurant industry over there probably was behind getting that
legislation passed to make sure that everybody was playing on
the same level field and that people who were buying
shrimp dishes over there were getting exactly what was advertised.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
I like the idea of eating gold shrimp. They just
for me.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
If you put if you blindfolded me and put five
places shrimp down, and three were imported and two were
domestic or vice versa, or one out of the five
was different. I can't guarantee you that I could pick
out the one depending on what recipe was used. But
just with boiled shrimp, I think I think there is

(01:13:31):
a little bit better taste. And maybe it's just because
I know their golf shrimp. I do like them. I
do like them.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
All right, we got to take the final break of
the program.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
I wonder if Mike Mercado Melvin could come up with
something that would pair well with shrimp cocktail.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
I bet one of his sauces.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
This is Sportstock seven ninety, Facebook dot Com, Slash, Sports
Talk seven.

Speaker 1 (01:13:54):
Ninety, Back to the Doug Pike Show.

Speaker 15 (01:13:56):
Nineteen anything So nineteen seventy nine, seventy eight, good check it?

Speaker 3 (01:14:09):
Okay eight fifty on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
By the way, got a year boogie Woogie dance? Dad
would be correct, which one was it? Seventy eight or
seventy nine, seventy nine?

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Yeah, that was back in my DJ in days, man,
back when disco was king, Back.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
When we wore gold chains.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
And platform shoes and bell bottom pants. It looked like
absolute idiots, only we didn't realize it yet. Oh my god,
looking back at some of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
Oh, Saturday Night Fever. Did you ever watch that movie?

Speaker 7 (01:14:50):
Marvin?

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
Yes, I did.

Speaker 3 (01:14:51):
Oh my word, that was my world, dude, That's what
I was living in. Went open to club in Atlanta
for some people, most most everybody in this audience knows that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
But yeah, it was. It was a fun time. It
really was.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
Everybody was dancing and having a blast and looking really
stupid in hindsight. But every generation, I think, looks back
on what they wore as young people, and this generation
will will do that eventually.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
With the hoodies, I got on a hoodie this morning.
You got one on? They will, they will go out
of style. There we go.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
Oh gosh, John Travolta, there's some commercial he's doing right
now where I can't remember what it is, or.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Maybe it was the one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Oh it was the Santa Claus one when he was
playing Santa Claus.

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
I don't know how much you got paid for that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
Maybe enough to fill up his I think he had
ons A seven twenty seven or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
He's a pilot too. He can fly all of those
things himself.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
He just when he wants to go somewhere, he can
sit back and fly around the world.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
If he wants to. Got to take a copilot with you.
I would imagine to do something like that. All right,
moving back to where we should be.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Oh, by the way, coming up, and I want to
remind everybody this weekend about it, and probably next weekend.
Well actually next weekend, I'm gonna interview Cowboy Zemanski, the
knife maker who owns and operates Belleville or not Belleville
but Phoenix Knives Out in Belleville. He hosts annually a
gathering of the best knife makers in the country and

(01:16:28):
on April fourth and fifth. He's got them all coming
back again to the Austin County Expo Center right there
in Belleville.

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
They're coming from everywhere, and there are a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
Of competitions between these guys who try and see how
sharp they can make things. There's all kinds of things
they do, but every one of them the bottom line
is outstanding knife maker.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
And they'll have a.

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
Lot of their products for sale, as you might expect
at a show like that, and somewhere in there, if
you're a knife person at all, is gonna be one
you fall in love with and you're just gonna have
to take home. Free parking by the way at the
Expo Center, which is a bonus, and the admission at
the door is only ten bucks. It's a two day show,

(01:17:14):
five dollars for kids. Parking free by the way, blah blah.
Sponsored by Phoenix Knives that's a presenting sponsor. Basically Jans Supply,
Ballistic Dummy Lab and Texas Knife Makers Guild. Great event.
It's gonna be fun for the kids too. It's just
a good family outing. While you're out there that close,

(01:17:35):
you might as well swing by and get yourself something
to eat. At Bellville Meat Market too. You could do
that while you're there. They're both right there in the
middle of the lout in the middle of the little
town of Belleville, at Phoenix Knives and Bellville Meat Market.

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
So I'll make a day of it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
Go buy to the expo, plan to spend most of
your time there seeing all those knives and watching some
of the competitions. And then don't forget about Phoenix Knives either.
By the way, I meant to mention, we've got a
new member of the family coming on board next weekend,
and I'm so happy for Manny Lopez at El Kubano's Cigars.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
I'll tell you a little bit about him.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
He heard me talking a long time ago, well weeks ago, anyway,
about how I could help somebody who wanted to become
part of this advertising family to become that. And I'll
tell you the same thing I told him back then
on the radio. Hey, if you want to want a
piece of this, if you want a piece of really
any of our shows, any of our stations, you don't

(01:18:36):
have to call anybody but me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
You can work directly with me. And I've been doing
this a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
One of the things I tell all my clients, I
won't waste your time and I won't waste your money.
I recognize whose money I'm spending, and so I make
sure it works for both sides. And if it's not
gonna work for both sides, then I'll just say not yet.
Let's talk in a month or two, let's talk in
six months.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
Let's get you down a little farther down the road.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
But coming on next weekend is going to be Manny
Lopez from El Cubano Cigars, and I'm thrilled to having. Honestly,
I went down and visited that place in Texas City
where he owns and operates the only actual cigar manufacturing
facility within a couple hundred miles a year, and there
aren't but they're not but a big handful of them

(01:19:24):
in the whole country. Most of the cigars here are imported.
He imports the tobacco and then prepares it and does
everything he has to do to get it ready, and
then he and three other people or maybe four other people,
I think it is just churn out hundreds of cigars
every day. They have I don't know how many dozens

(01:19:45):
of different options they have, but they can do. The
cool thing about Manny and about El Cubano Cigars is
that they can do custom labeling on them, custom bans
on your cigars. I've asked him to make up some
for iHeart and he's doing that. As a matter of fact,
if you're a if you're a good client of iHeart
and you are a cigar smoker, you might want to

(01:20:06):
let the person that you're working with know about that
and see if they can't get you lined up for
a couple of them El Kubano cigars.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Man it's gonna be fun. And if you want to
you want a little piece of this, either for this
show or for fifty plus or for anybody else's show
it for that matter, I can help you with that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
You don't have to call an eight one hundred number,
you don't have to call the switchboard even just email
me and I'll get you started. Doug Pike at iHeartMedia
dot com. All right, So I want to go back
to what Scott and Oles sent me yesterday, which ended
up being a really nice look at some at a well.
The ones I like the most were of the bobcat.

(01:20:46):
You had a bobcat come into this little pond where
he has a photo blind set up, and he got
some awesome pictures of that that animal with a brand
new camera he's working with.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
By the way, that he was worried.

Speaker 3 (01:20:57):
That it wouldn't wouldn't push the light as well as
it did.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
I don't know what he was worried about, man, because
those images came out really well.

Speaker 3 (01:21:07):
That is going to wrap it up for this. Hey,
it's daylight saving time. We all got more time to
have fun in the afternoons. Now we've got spring break
going on and we're gonna have a beautiful week of weather.
By all means, get outside, soak up some vitamin D,
have some fun with your family or with friends or
anybody you can. I'll be back Tuesday, no Wednesday on

(01:21:29):
fifty plus. I'm taking Tuesday off and then I will
be back here next Saturday. Thank you all for listening.
Be safe please, I want to hear it from you
next week too.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Audios.
