The Infomaniacs: September 3rd 2026 (6:00am) · WTAW - Infomaniacs

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: woman has been jailed after driving drunk through a construction
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: zone and dragging a construction worker after he tried to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: stop her. College Station Police responded to the 2400 block
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of State Highway 6 near Southwest Parkway around 1045 Tuesday night.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Workers say 64-year-old Mary McGee was going nearly 60 miles
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: per hour as she drove past workers while driving the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: wrong direction. After workers flagged her down, a foreman realized
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: she was likely intoxicated and tried to take the keys
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: from her ignition. McGee put her car in reverse with
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the man still partially inside, dragging him approximately 70 feet
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: until her vehicle was blocked in by an off-duty officer
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: working security and other workers on a street sweeper. CSPD
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: performed a field sobriety test, which she failed. A blood
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: sample was taken at a local hospital before McGee was
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: booked into the Brazos County Jail for driving while intoxicated.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She is being
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: held on $ 70, 000 bond. This is McGee's 16th booking into
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the Brazos County Jail. Her previous arrests include driving while intoxicated,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: evading arrest, criminal trespass, possession of a controlled substance, and prostitution.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the Big Six construction project, the main lanes
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: are scheduled to be closed tonight. Both north and southbound
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: lanes will be closed between Southwest Parkway and Briarcrest Drive.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The closures start at 7.30 tonight and continue through 6.30
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Friday morning. No road closures are expected to take place
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Less than a month into the College Station
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: ISD school year and two students from A & M
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Consolidated High School have been arrested in separate instances of
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: having a THC vape at school. A 17-year-old student was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: arrested on Tuesday and after the device fell out of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: his pocket while being escorted to the office by the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: school's resource officer. He was charged with a third-degree felony,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone. He
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is free on $ 15, 000 bond. The first student was arrested
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on August 25th, and he is also free on bond.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: The new head of Homeland Security is promising that all
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: immigration agents will have body cams by the end of September.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Texas Border Congressman Henry Cuellar says that will be huge.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: It's good for the agent.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Somebody wants to accuse him of something. Cuellar says that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the cameras are also a benefit to the community when
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it comes to government transparency. The technology has been a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: huge debate in Texas after the shooting death of Lorenzo
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Salgado Araujo in Houston. The ICE agents had not been
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: issued body-worn cameras, and that has only deepened the debate
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: about what happened that day. A federal courthouse is likely
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: coming to College Station. The final cog will fall into
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: place after a signature from President Trump. A bill that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: would have added 63 new permanent U.S. District Court judgeships
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: throughout the United States, including 13 in Texas... was vetoed
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: by Joe Biden in 2024. New legislation has passed that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't just say that another court will be added to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the Houston district. It specifies that it will be located
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in College Station. Adding a courthouse in College Station means
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: cases involving Brazos County litigants will no longer be forced
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to travel to a Houston courtroom to have their cases heard.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: More news on the way at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I'm surprised we got this far into
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the Big Six without an.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Incident like that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: No kidding.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Like, it's not, this is the bright side.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I just assumed with all of the changes, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: people start going willy-nilly, closing things that normally are not closed.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: delays that are normally not delays.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: People are stressed.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I fully expected someone to try something or get arrested
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: for something prior to this.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you know what happens when you drink one
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: wine cooler.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was my next point.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: CSPD heard the news story, performed a field sobriety test,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: at which.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Point I've had a few Chardonnays. I've had a Chardonnay. No,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I've had a Bottles of James. What of it? Working
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: my way down.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your support.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Good night, man.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Bottles of James.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Bottles. Yeah, one wine cooler.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: One wine cooler. What was the wine cooler? Yeah, Everclear
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: wine cooler. Man, yeah, I've expected it all along. And again,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: props to the company putting it all together.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Props to the poor guys who were just out there
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: trying to.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Make their mortgage. I always thought that most of those
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: guys that were sitting in the cars, in the police-like vehicles,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: were just kind of napping or doing whatever.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Now, listeners changed my mind on that when they informed
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: us when we were talking about this a while back.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And they were saying, yeah, you know, this is... you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a great way for them to make money. They're awake.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They're working on paperwork. They're doing their stuff. Obviously this guy,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty split second there, right?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Johnny on the spot.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: And then the guy who's like, Hey, I don't think
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I'll just grab her keys. It goes, gets dragged 70
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: feet while she goes in reverse.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Until she gets to the street sweeper.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Well, the cop in the street sweeper. And again, great
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: thinking by the construction crew. Good work fellas. I'm going
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to take this four ton sweet street sweeper. I'm going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to put it between you and harm's way. It's great.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: They're just trying to help you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Trying to help you.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: You're going wrong direction on highway six, et cetera. Hey, maybe,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: maybe you got confused.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Did they really need the field sobriety test at that point?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Is there, is there some sort of precedent that's been
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: set out there that says, Hey guys, you can just
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: skip it. We're pretty sure.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I, I, I wish we had a poll. on CSPDs.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they have a website. I don't know what
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it is, but I'm sure they have one.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: If you get over like 10,000 votes, you got to
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: dump the body cam. I wish we had a feature
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: like that because, oh, my goodness, that one's priceless.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and thank goodness that the off-duty officer is fine.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness that the construction worker that was drugged 70
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: feet is fine.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Lord, yes.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And thank goodness that the guys that were trying to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: block it off with a street sweeper were fine, too.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: This is your daily reminder. Take it easy during.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Take it slow during that particular stretch. Those dudes are
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: working hard.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Stay away from the Bartles and James when you're getting
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: behind the wheel, please.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: A single Bartles and James is too many Bartles and James.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Don't make that mistake.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: For a lot of reasons.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: All right, it's back on, y'all.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not. What?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I can play this freely. Because we got some rain
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Man, well, some people.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That's okay. I got some rain last night. Did you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: get some rain?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I got some rain last night, but I did take
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a picture of the radar in the dome. The dome,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: although it had shrunk, was in full effect for the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: vast majority of the metro.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So there were some dry spots out of this?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: There were some dry spots out there.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I got dumped on.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I got what I'm going to, between about an inch
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: or so is what I got. So, yeah, down in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: South did pretty well. However, you know, for the rest
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of Bryan College Station, I don't know, there was eventually
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: some stuff that came. I guess I'm looking at it now.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So when I took that photo, it was before I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: went to bed, about darkish.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So looking at it now, most people in the brass,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in Bryan College Station Metro, it's got probably a half
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: inch to three quarters of an inch. I like it. Yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not bad at all. I like it. You see what
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: happens when we use the reverse psychology yesterday?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You see what happens when you go new shoe goofing?

  Speaker 3: into next Wednesday. Like, it's not a great chance, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: there are chances of showers and thunderstorms every single day
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: for a week today.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: 50% chance and a high near... 90 degrees.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: That, I'm doing double backflips over. Heck yes!

• 13:26
  Speaker 3: different reasons to celebrate, minus we'll snag it about an
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: inch of rain down south, minus me probably getting about
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the same. It was a fantastic little sunburn or cloudburst.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Went to sleep to the sounds of thunder last night. Fantastic.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But we got more, y'all.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: So let's start with International Cab Sav Day observed on
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the first Thursday of December. The most, in my opinion,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the most basic of wines. And that's not a bad thing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Not a bad thing. I wish that I and I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: developed a taste for red wine between radio gigs at
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: one point in time. I managed a liquor store. And
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I got a little bit of an education.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: You became kind of like a.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not a sommelier by any stretch.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Well, you're a sommelier that pulled himself up by his
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: own bootstraps. You didn't go to fancy schmancy wine land.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: The distributors would have wine tastings there and that sort
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of thing. So I got a little bit of a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: wine education. Unfortunately, it seems like these days... Red wine,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I haven't tried it with any others, but red wine,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it just shoves the heartburn right up there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You got to pass.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Fair enough.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: It is also, well, let's see. What are we?
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Let's not forget National Baby Back Ribs Day.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I want my baby back. Baby back. Baby back ribs.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: You know, did you ever call them baby back ribs? Before,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Baby back ribs.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, there's different kinds of ribs.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but did you ever use the word baby back rib?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I think Chili's has done more to create the baby
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: back rib than anything.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Because now it's ubiquitous. I mean, you think of the song.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: You think of the song.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: It's a day for ribs, sure. But honestly, it's a
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: day for Chili's.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Is it now?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Is it every day?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you when the last time I went
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: into a Chili's.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Baby backs tend to be shorter and more curved, leaner
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: than spare ribs, generally more tender and more expensive. But
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: 94% of Americans say they just love them.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I like a rib, man. I really can't tell too
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: much difference between pork ribs, I mean, aside from their size.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: But as far as it being something that I like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a rib's a rib. Rib's a rib.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this, after the beef rib and
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: the specifically dinosaur beef rib came into fashion, I have
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: had no use for tiny little ribs. I want a
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: rib that's going to injure someone if I take a swing.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I want a rib that once I eat the meat
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: off it could go yard at Daikin.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Man, I recall the first beef rib that I ever
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: really had. Is that the place that I'm wearing the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: hat of today?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: True barbecue.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: That, I can't finish one these days. I know that's,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to you, that's mind-boggling. It's a little strange. You could
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: eat an elephant rib. However, to me, it's just so much.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it's worth sharing. Don't get dry. And I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: love cooking them.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Give me that Fred Flintstone rib.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm looking for.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I can see you with it right now. Oh, yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Barbecue sauce slathered all over your face.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: No.
• 16:47
  Speaker 12: No.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: No, no sauce. No sauce.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: No sauce.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Sauce if it's trash.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Bark scattered all over your face.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Bark scattered, yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Remnants of grease dripping down your chin.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Let the meat speak.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: U.S.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Bowling League Day.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: There was a time when bowling leagues were, I mean,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: basically America's social club.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Everyone was in a bowling league. Kind of fell off.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Some people have alleged this is an actual thing. You
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: can find it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Some sociologists that looked into bowling leagues and said the
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: decline of America being kind of, you know, social and nice.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: We're all kind of got along with our neighbors and
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: connected with people. You can directly connect that to the
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: decline of the bowling league.
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: Hmm.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because the idea is people used to leave
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: their homes and to gather with each other in different
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: areas where they'd mix.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: They'd mingle.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: And most of them did it in the bowling league. Now,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: was the bowling league the only place that happened?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Hell no.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: No, it happened all over the place.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: But slowly but surely, all of those started to go
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: downhill at the same time because TV became more and
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: more popular. And they'd say, I think I'll stay home
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and watch TV. Then the internet happened. I think I'll
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: just stay in my house and be on my phone
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: all day. I think I'll stay inside and play PlayStation 5.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: You never end up seeing another human being. You never
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: end up seeing another human being. How do you build
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: relationships with other human beings?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: You don't.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: And then what happens? You become a crappy person and
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you're angry at everyone.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And here we are.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Shut up, Tucker. Now, my only experience with bowling leagues
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: is really from the Big Lebowski. That's about it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: They took it seriously. They took it seriously. Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Market zero. Market zero.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Birthdays today Kaya Gerber I have no idea who she
• 18:49

  Speaker 1: Oh, please, no. Oh, dear God.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Why does this song give you a reaction?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: You know that I raised two cheerleaders, one of whom
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: is still a cheerleader, from the time they were like three.
• 19:43

  Speaker 3: Yo, dude, yeah, I made it two seasons. I was like, oh,

• 22:24
  Speaker 3: as Brian Wilson and the other bums.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: And I think they've even given interviews where they're like, Yo,

• 23:21
  Speaker 13: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 23:25
  Speaker 13: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 23:29
  Speaker 13: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 23:33
  Speaker 13: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 23:38
  Speaker 13: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
• 23:48
  Speaker 13: At Dean and Draper Insurance, we can't promise to solve
• 23:50
  Speaker 13: the inflation problem, but we can shop several high-quality insurance

• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch. All seven counties in the Brazos Valley
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: are now under a burn ban. Brazos County announced the
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: ban Tuesday and Burleson County rounded things out on Wednesday.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: All outdoor burning is prohibited and there are limits on
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: outdoor welding and cooking. Getting rainfall does not automatically reverse
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: a ban. A ban remains in effect until local government
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: repeals it or it expires. A Bryan woman is behind
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: bars after driving drunk through the Big Six construction zone,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: then dragging a construction worker some 70 feet after he
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: tried to stop her. College Station police were called to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the 2400 block of State Highway 6 southbound near Southwest
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Parkway around 1045 Tuesday night. Reports say that 64-year-old Mary
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: McGee is accused of speeding while driving the wrong way
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: through the construction zone with workers present. Workers estimate McGee
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: was traveling at about 60 miles an hour before they
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: were able to flag her down. A foreman then reached
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: into her vehicle in an attempt to take the keys
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: from the ignition. That's when McGee threw her car into
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: reverse with the man still partially inside the vehicle, dragging
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: him approximately 70 feet away. until her vehicle was blocked
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: in by an off-duty officer working security and other workers
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: in a street sweeper. CSPD performed a field sobriety test,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: which she failed. McGee says she had one wine cooler
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: that evening. A blood sample was taken at a local hospital,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: then McGee was booked into the Brazos County Jail for
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: driving while intoxicated and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: She is being held on.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: $ 70, 000 bond.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: This is McGee's 16th booking into the Brazos County Jail.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Her previous arrests include driving while intoxicated, evading arrest, criminal trespass,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: possession of a controlled substance, and prostitution. In the span
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: of eight days, two students at A & M Consolidated
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: High School have found themselves behind bars after being caught
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: with THC vapes at school. A 17-year-old student was arrested
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday after a vape fell out of his pocket
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: while being escorted to the office by a school resource officer.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: A field test showed a positive result for THC above 0.03%.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: He was charged with possession of a controlled substance in
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a drug-free zone, a third-degree felony. That student is free
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: on $ 15, 000 bond. Another student was arrested at AMCHS on
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: August 25th. for having a THC vape. The race for
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: governor is proving to be closer than many expected.
• 33:19
  Speaker 22: Governor Greg Abbott, who has sailed to victory in three
• 33:21
  Speaker 22: straight elections, facing a situation where he's virtually tied with
• 33:24
  Speaker 22: Democrat Gina Inouye. That's according to another poll out this week.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Abbott is an establishment Republican without a ton of baggage.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: So I do think that was interesting.
• 33:33
  Speaker 22: Pollster Mark Cunningham with Overton Insight says the race for
• 33:36
  Speaker 22: Senate is also deadlocked. The Democrat James Tallarico is up
• 33:39
  Speaker 22: by 1% over his Republican opponent Ken Paxton. There's a
• 33:42
  Speaker 22: whopping 12% who are undecided in that race. In San Antonio,

  Speaker 1: The shooting death of an undocumented migrant in Houston is
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: helping to initiate procedural changes within the Department of Homeland Security.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: The ICE agents who shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado O'Rahu
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: were not wearing body cameras, frustrating investigators and the public.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Now Mark Wayne Mullen, the head of Homeland Security, says
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that all immigration agents will be wearing cameras by the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: end of September.
• 34:11
  Speaker 23: But I feel like we're on track by the end
• 34:13
  Speaker 23: of September to have everybody that's in the field. That
• 34:16
  Speaker 23: doesn't mean every ICE agent, everybody that's in the field
• 34:19
  Speaker 23: will have a body of war camera. It's for our
• 34:21
  Speaker 23: safety and the public's safety too.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar says This should be embraced by agents,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: but that wearing body cams is not enough. He says
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: there needs to be written rules and training for agents
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: concerning when cameras are turned on and how long the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: data is kept. A man charged in the infamous Texas
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Killing Fields case just outside of Houston has been found guilty.
• 34:43
  Speaker 20: The so-called Killing Fields is an isolated 25-acre space in
• 34:47
  Speaker 20: League City, and it's where the bodies of four young
• 34:49
  Speaker 20: women connected to this case were found between 1984 and 1991.
• 34:54
  Speaker 20: Jurors in Galveston County needed less than an hour to
• 34:56
  Speaker 20: convict James Elmore Jr. of manslaughter. In 1984, Elmore loaded
• 35:02
  Speaker 20: a syringe with cocaine, which was used by and killed
• 35:05
  Speaker 20: 16-year-old Laura Miller. Elmore's attorney tried to argue the prime
• 35:09
  Speaker 20: suspect in the case, the late Clyde Hedrick, actually gave
• 35:13
  Speaker 20: Miller the drugs. The trial started Monday. The punishment phase
• 35:16
  Speaker 20: gets underway this morning, and Miller's father, Tim Miller, founded
• 35:20
  Speaker 20: Texas EquiSearch in 2000. Barbara Schwartz, TSN News.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: 61-year-old Elmore faces a maximum prison sentence of up to

  Speaker 3: and we're going to only get up to about 90

  Speaker 1: I should have.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: On what's going on with the the East Texas floods
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: now that they've had all of what?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M task force one and Texas task
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: force two have deployed a number of Swiss water rescue teams,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: high profile vehicles out there. I know that they've taken
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: part in a number of rescues. I have not seen
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: any numbers as far as injuries or fatalities or damage estimates.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: The videos that I saw out of there yesterday.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: See a couple of those.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, you get two feet of rain.
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: And it's going to do some things.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I saw a few from the Port Arthur area that.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Were pretty wild.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, again, two feet of water is going to
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: do some wild things.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: The wildest thing that I've seen out of Port Arthur,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: and I saw that actually this morning, was a news
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: story in the Houston Chronicle. Apparently, there was a rollover
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: accident involving a camper in Port Arthur on the Rainbow Bridge.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Which stuck traffic as Edward came through. So on the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Rainbow Bridge, which is no fun in sunny weather.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: The Rainbow Bridge, we all know that. I would assume
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: everyone knows this bridge.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Just imagine.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: It is the most terrifying bridge in maybe America.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe the most terrifying bridge. There's a couple in Louisiana.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: It's so bad. But yeah, it's horrible. And imagine being
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: stuck on that.
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: When you got tropical storm force winds. Because it moves, man. Oh, yeah.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: It moves a lot. And you're at like a 45
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: degree angle. It's like getting stuck in a roller coaster.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I would have been. That's awful. I probably would
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: have been slightly nervous. I know people, for example, my
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: blessed mother-in-law.
• 39:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: She would have ripped. the door handles off trying to
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: get out of there.
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: There's no.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: No one wants any part of that. I want to
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: get some of your text messages this morning. Mike texted
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: in the phone.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Good morning, boys.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Morning, Mike.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: I want everyone to be aware of a free event
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Saturday at the George Bush Museum Rotunda. The Aggieland Model
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Club is hosting a show... I'll have several models on
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: display as well as many others from the Brass Valley.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: We're talking about models like tiny little models?
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I guess so, yeah, model kits. Oh!
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Public is invited to bring their own masterpieces to show off.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: This is a prelude to a big event in November
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: where veterans are invited to build model kits, which will
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: be provided as a form of therapy for those dealing
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: with PTSD, stress, depression, and other symptoms that most veterans
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: deal with.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: The event is going to be from 10 a.m. to
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: 2 p.m.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: On Saturday.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Mike, thank you for sharing that.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we appreciate that, Mike.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Frank would like to know what colors do the Skechers
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: slip-ons come in with?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Lots of different colors.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Is all the color?
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Those are pretty stylish.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: They are, man. I'm telling you.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I got to give you that.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: If you did not know that those were slip-on Skechers,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: you'd be all about it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 21: No, you're right.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: If you hadn't said the word Skechers followed by slip-ons,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I'd be a big fan. Jason shares today that my
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: fabulous HOA is watering this morning after the rain we
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: got last night. My money at work. Jason, that's exactly
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: what we want to happen. Because if you water, then
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: is a higher percentage of chance. that water will fall
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: from the sky. I don't know why it weakens the
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Aggie Dome.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. Yeah, where you were going with that.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: It's just as good as washing. Well, maybe not as
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: good as washing your car, but it's up there.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: It's on the list of things. Just below cloud seeding.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just below weather lasers.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is that we use.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: I am convinced that Houston is becoming the new Florida city.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: I'm just so convinced. Yesterday we had Naked DoorDash guy.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: And today you bring me the Ace Hardware store, guys.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah. This is hilarious this morning. I
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: see this video posted by the Cypress Ace Hardware, which
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: is apparently like one of the coolest Ace Hardwares anywhere.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: They've got a Fudge Shop. They've got Dippin' Dots.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Did you say they have a Fudge Shop?
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got, I mean, apparently it's like a Destination
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Ace Hardware.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Get out of here.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: They've been posting some viral videos that are kind of
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: cute and whatnot.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Apparently, they had a theft. Somebody attempted to steal some electronics.
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. And they attempted to stash them in
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: a certain manner.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wait for it.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: So that the Ace Hardware people said, you know what?
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: We need to sing a song about this.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: And we present that song to you. Not that song.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Or is it that song?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: No, I think that was, I don't know. I think
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: that was Cheerleaders. No, there we go.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: For paints and grills and tools and jokes but.
• 42:46
  Speaker 15: If you're wondering whether your rectum's a cart note that
• 42:50
  Speaker 15: is not an approved place for electrical parts.
• 43:03
  Speaker 24: Keep purchases out of your private parts.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: You can fix your fan. You can wire your shed.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: You can grab some PVC and a socket instead.
• 43:13
  Speaker 25: But there's one store policy we'd like to declare.
• 43:16
  Speaker 15: Electric old parts do not go up there.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: Showcase.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: The problem is that is going to be stuck in
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: everyone's head now.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody's choppies.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Back after this.
• 43:36
  Speaker 10: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with

• 44:14
  Speaker 10: If you listen to my program very often, you know
• 44:16
  Speaker 10: that I frequently compare landscaping with interior design. There are
• 44:20
  Speaker 10: similarities in any type of decorating, whether it's inside your home,
• 44:24
  Speaker 10: outside in the garden, or even in the clothes you
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: choose for yourself. Finding suitable accents becomes a key factor
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: in all decorating. Pick your focal points wisely. I'll be
• 44:33
  Speaker 10: back with details right after this message. One of the
• 44:36
  Speaker 10: most useful tools in gardening, Fertilum All-Purpose Water-Soluble 20-20-20 Plant Food.
• 44:42
  Speaker 10: It's essential because it can be used to feed nearly
• 44:45
  Speaker 10: every plant you grow year-round. It's ideal for potted plants, annuals,
• 44:50
  Speaker 10: hanging baskets, houseplants, flowerbeds, even succulents. Fertilum All-Purpose Water-Soluble Plant
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: Food works best when used as both a soil drench
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: and dissolved as a foliar spray. For lush green foliage
• 45:02
  Speaker 10: and vigorous blooms, apply Fertilome all-purpose water-soluble plant food once
• 45:06
  Speaker 10: per month on houseplants, once per week on outdoor plants.
• 45:10
  Speaker 10: No matter where you live in the great state of Texas,
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: quality Fertilome and high-yield products can be found at independently
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: owned feed stores and nurseries. That's because Fertilome wants you
• 45:19

  Speaker 10: To find a dealer near you, go to Fertilome.com. Fertilum all-purpose,
• 45:31
  Speaker 10: water-soluble plant food made in Texas for Texas lawns and gardens.
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: Inside your house, accents may be the entryway chandelier, the
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: fireplace and its mantle, a stunning and prominent dining room
• 45:43
  Speaker 10: table and a hutch, or a colorful quilt laid across
• 45:46
  Speaker 10: the bed. Every room will have its own accent. We
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: have rooms in the garden as well, and each of
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: those rooms will need its own accent or focal point too.
• 45:55
  Speaker 10: How well you plan and develop those special spots will
• 45:58
  Speaker 10: do a lot toward determining the success of your landscaping.
• 46:02
  Speaker 10: Your entryway is the first major responsibility. Leave it on
• 46:06
  Speaker 10: open view from the street and use special plants to
• 46:08
  Speaker 10: draw attention to it. And frame it with taller plants
• 46:11
  Speaker 10: to the sides of the house tapering down toward the
• 46:14
  Speaker 10: front door. Landscapers refer to it as a visual funnel.
• 46:18
  Speaker 10: Use plants to provide special colors and textures near the entry.
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: Use large container plants and hanging baskets for added appeal
• 46:26
  Speaker 10: and install landscape lighting that will highlight the entryway at night.
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: Your front door makes your single biggest statement to those
• 46:33
  Speaker 10: who live around you, those who pass by your house,
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: and those who stop by for a visit. Do it tastefully,
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: but somehow make that entryway a very special landscaping accent.
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: The pool, patio, or deck is the second prime accent point.
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: After all, it's the family room of the landscaped. Again,
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: you want to use special plants and colorful plantings to
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: draw folks' attention to the most appealing areas. Choose furniture
• 46:58
  Speaker 10: that looks comfortable and inviting and then group it attractively.
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: As with the front landscape, use taller trees to inframe
• 47:05
  Speaker 10: the view, preferably planted where they'll contribute shade as well.
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: Make every decision of your poolside or patio landscape based
• 47:13
  Speaker 10: on how it will contribute to the overall look of
• 47:15
  Speaker 10: its most prominent vista. At the same time that you're
• 47:19
  Speaker 10: developing your pool or patio garden, you also need to
• 47:21
  Speaker 10: think about things farther out. Most landscapes, after all, don't
• 47:24
  Speaker 10: end up with the rear edge of the patio. You'll
• 47:27
  Speaker 10: also probably have a fence, and most people also have turf.
• 47:31
  Speaker 10: While you want prime attention to be drawn to the patio,
• 47:33
  Speaker 10: you certainly don't want to wall off the rest of
• 47:35
  Speaker 10: the backyard visually. Psychologically, if you put a path or
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: unobtrusive stepping stones within the patio side bed, And if
• 47:43
  Speaker 10: you aim them toward one corner of your backyard, it
• 47:46
  Speaker 10: will establish a visual flow that invites people out into
• 47:50
  Speaker 10: your gardens. Oh, it's a lot of fun to establish
• 47:53
  Speaker 10: those focal points. I'm Neal Sperry. I'll help you plan
• 47:56
  Speaker 10: better bulb plantings this fall in our next Plant Talk Texas.
• 48:00
  Speaker 10: Until then, happy gardening.
• 48:03

  Speaker 26: Good morning.
• 49:15
  Speaker 24: I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update on 1620, 94.5. 1620-945-WTAW.
• 49:22
  Speaker 24: The A & M football team is two days away
• 49:24
  Speaker 24: from hosting Missouri State for the first time ever at
• 49:27
  Speaker 24: Kyle Field. Head coach Mike Elko shared thoughts on the
• 49:30
  Speaker 24: defense ahead of game one of the 2026 season.
• 49:33
  Speaker 21: We'll see.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: That'll be the words I'll use for everything. You know,
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: we'll see. I think we have a chance to be
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: really good if we have the ability to to go
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: out and focus and play with the level of urgency
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: that we need to. I think they have a very,
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: very high ceiling, but they've got to go out and
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: they've got to go out and do it.
• 49:49
  Speaker 24: Aggie safety and one of the five team captains on
• 49:52
  Speaker 24: the squad this season, Marcus Ratcliffe, spoke about what he
• 49:55
  Speaker 24: wants to see from the defense during week one.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I'd say on top.
• 49:58
  Speaker 13: Of my head, Just playing super hard, playing fast, everyone
• 50:01
  Speaker 13: trying to get to the ball.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I'd say execution.
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: That was a thing last year that sometimes bit us.
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: In the butt a little bit.
• 50:09
  Speaker 21: And so just all 11 players, every single play, getting
• 50:12
  Speaker 21: the execution right.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: And I think really just those two things, playing hard,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: playing fast.
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: And executing the right way.
• 50:17
  Speaker 24: Coach Elko also talked about the linebackers group as a whole.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: I just think they made a really, really big jump.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: And I think Some of that was naturally expected because
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: you had some younger, new guys, Ray Coney, Tamarion Watkins,
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: taking a lot of reps in the spring in a
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: new system and all of that. But I just think
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: the overall growth and development of the group really sticks out,
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: I think. Ray has had a really, really strong summer.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: I think he had a really, really strong fall camp.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: I think Noah McHale has taken a really, really big
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: jump forward. We're really happy with what Jordan Lockhart has
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: done and how he has played. And then Tamarian Watkins
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: has really evolved since the time he got here to
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: where he is now. And so I just think there's
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: been a lot of growth in that room, and it's
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: been really, really cool to see.
• 51:04
  Speaker 24: As well as giving an update on the availability of
• 51:06
  Speaker 24: Damian Sanford playing in the Missouri State game.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: Right now, yes, probably still a little bit of a
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: game-time decision, but if you were to ask me right now, yes,
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: I anticipate him being out there.
• 51:15
  Speaker 24: The Maroon and White are set to hit the field
• 51:18
  Speaker 24: on Saturday night at Kyle Field with kickoff set for
• 51:20
  Speaker 24: 6 o'clock. Tonight in high school sports, the Bryan Vikings
• 51:24
  Speaker 24: are hosting the Belton Tigers with kickoff set for 7 o'clock.
• 51:28
  Speaker 24: The Aggie soccer team will be hosting TCU tonight to
• 51:31
  Speaker 24: continue their home stretch at Ellis Field. Head coach Bobby
• 51:34
  Speaker 24: Shuttleworth recapped the Aggies' recent games and intensity level of
• 51:38
  Speaker 24: the competition.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think we've played some good teams already
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: this year. You know, Baylor's a good team. Texas State,
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: obviously a good team. You know, Air Force gave us
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: a lot of trouble. So I think it's going to
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: be no different. TCU's going to be a strong side.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: They're going to possess the ball and move it and
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: try to shift it and pull us out of spaces.
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: So we have to be organized and disciplined and ready
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: for the task.
• 51:58
  Speaker 24: Coach Shuttleworth also shared thoughts on TCU ahead of tonight's match.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: They're good.
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: Obviously went to the Final Four last year. They have
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: a really set style of playing and possession, and they're
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: coming off a good win against Georgia, a good Georgia team.
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: So I think we'll have our hands full, and we've
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: got to make sure we're organized and communicating and doing
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: our jobs.
• 52:17
  Speaker 24: Tonight's home match is set to start at 7 o'clock.
• 52:20
  Speaker 24: Last night, the Aggie volleyball team continued their road game
• 52:23
  Speaker 24: stretch for the All-State Big Ten and SEC Challenge Week. However,
• 52:27
  Speaker 24: the team came up short in a five-set clash against Indiana.
• 52:31
  Speaker 24: Kendall Stowers had a record-breaking outing in the Aggies' final
• 52:35
  Speaker 24: game of the challenge week, as she registered a rally-scoring-era
• 52:39
  Speaker 24: program high of 34.5 points in five sets. In the
• 52:43
  Speaker 24: MLB last night, the Texas Rangers lost to the Athletics 9-2,
• 52:47
  Speaker 24: while the Houston Astros came away with a 2-0 win
• 52:50
  Speaker 24: against the Chicago White Sox. That's your morning sports update
