0:09
Speaker 1: apartment over the weekend. College Station police responded to reports
0:13
Speaker 1: of an unknown man inside a unit at the Heights
0:15
Speaker 1: Apartments in the 3000 block of Holloman Drive South just
0:19
Speaker 1: after 1 o'clock Sunday morning. A resident told officers she
0:22
Speaker 1: woke up to find a man standing inside her bedroom.
0:25
Speaker 1: Police found 18-year-old Cole Brawley passed out on the couch.
0:29
Speaker 1: Reports say officers had to perform a sternal rub to
0:31
Speaker 1: get Brawley's attention. He claimed he thought he was at
0:34
Speaker 1: a friend's apartment, but none of the women knew the
0:36
Speaker 1: man or gave him permission to be in the apartment.
0:39
Speaker 1: Brawley was arrested and charged with criminal trespass of a habitation.
0:43
Speaker 1: During his arrest, he was found with a nicotine vape,
0:45
Speaker 1: so he was also charged with minor possession of a
0:48
Speaker 1: tobacco product. He's out of jail on $ 3, 000 bond. Brazos

Speaker 1: those were in or near the Northgate Entertainment District. 14
1:27
Speaker 1: of the 26 alcohol-related arrests involved a defendant under the

Speaker 1: age of 21. Several new state laws go into effect today.
1:36
Speaker 2: Starting Tuesday, certain electronics companies cannot stop people from fixing
1:39
Speaker 2: their own devices. They have to let customers and repair
1:42
Speaker 2: shops have the same access to parts, tools, and manuals
1:45
Speaker 2: that their company shops get. Texas cities also can't stop
1:48
Speaker 2: manufactured home companies from building. Cities cannot stop mobile home
1:52
Speaker 2: parks and keep them out of their city limits. They
1:55
Speaker 2: do maintain their ability to restrict where they go up
1:57
Speaker 2: through zoning laws, but cities cannot ban them completely. Solar
2:01
Speaker 2: panel companies have more restrictions. They have to register with
2:04
Speaker 2: the state. They have to register their workers as well.
2:06
Speaker 2: They also have to make sure they have insurance and

Speaker 1: The Texas State Board of Education is wrapping up its
2:16
Speaker 1: revisions on public high school curriculum, and the Bible is
2:19
Speaker 1: back in the debate. A number of Christian pastors are
2:22
Speaker 1: pushing to include stories from the Bible. David Waller is
2:26
Speaker 1: a Baptist preacher in Fort Worth.
2:27
Speaker 3: Early pilgrims came here for the express purpose of having
2:31
Speaker 3: freedom to worship Jesus Christ.
2:33
Speaker 1: Children need to understand this. The board will vote on
2:36
Speaker 1: the changes this week, and there is plenty of pushback too.
2:40
Speaker 1: Opponents say the new standards are not inclusive enough, and
2:43
Speaker 1: they argue it will put students at a disadvantage when
2:46
Speaker 1: they reach college. More news at 7.30 or anytime at WTAW.com.

4:24
Speaker 8: I mean, some people in the city.
4:24
Speaker 1: Some people in the Houston area.
4:27
Speaker 8: I believe they call them hurricane parties. You ever been
4:29
Speaker 8: to one of those?
4:30
Speaker 1: Probably.
4:31
Speaker 8: I think I went to one.
4:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't recall. Years and years ago, I don't remember.
4:36
Speaker 8: It was a great time, I'm sure.
4:38
Speaker 1: Well, in recent times, any time there was a hurricane,
4:41
Speaker 1: sobriety was my friend.

Speaker 8: Fingers crossed. Only getting up to about 90 degrees tomorrow,
5:10
Speaker 8: which is a fantastic, that's a beautiful day.
5:13
Speaker 5: Man.
5:14
Speaker 8: That is a beautiful day.
5:16
Speaker 1: I will not scream the minute I walk outside to
5:19
Speaker 1: walk Annie.
5:20
Speaker 8: And for the weekend, yeah, by Friday, mostly sunny and
5:23
Speaker 8: a high near 93. Game day for the Ags. first
5:28
Speaker 8: game of the season at kyle you know what i'm
5:31
Speaker 8: 93 for the high.
5:32
Speaker 1: That's gonna be fantastic wow i know this is a
5:35
Speaker 1: cheesy non-conference game it's a season opener.
5:38
Speaker 8: This is uh this is what they refer to as
5:40
Speaker 8: a squash match but.
5:41
Speaker 1: I'm not i'm not feeling the the same i don't
5:44
Speaker 1: feel the vibes either vibe that i've felt in years
5:46
Speaker 1: past well i think not about the team i'm just
5:48
Speaker 1: talking about the the hype in general.
5:50
Speaker 8: The the Well, first off, weather's brought to you by
5:53
Speaker 8: Malik Service Company in Texas. The air conditioner works overtime,
5:55
Speaker 8: but a well-tuned AC will save you money and keep
5:57
Speaker 8: you comfortable. Turn to the experts at Malik Care to
5:59
Speaker 8: keep your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. Now,
6:02
Speaker 8: let's go down a rabbit hole. I don't know why
6:06
Speaker 8: it doesn't feel like college football season this year. I
6:11
Speaker 8: don't know why.
6:13
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been thinking about it for a while.
6:15
Speaker 1: I thought it was just me, but now that, you know,
6:16
Speaker 1: you think the same.
6:17
Speaker 8: So this past weekend, I had some time on my
6:20
Speaker 8: hands on Saturday. And I thought to myself, it's week
6:23
Speaker 8: zero week zero.
6:26
Speaker 1: Usually there's a there's an overseas game.
6:28
Speaker 8: No, it's kind of a big deal. There were no
6:32
Speaker 8: premier matchups this year because teams don't want to do
6:35
Speaker 8: them anymore. They think it's going to penalize them if
6:37
Speaker 8: it comes down to the playoffs. Remember that whole that
6:40
Speaker 8: whole that little cat fight they were getting into with
6:43
Speaker 8: Texas and. Who gets that spot in the.
6:47
Speaker 6: Who?
6:47
Speaker 1: Who?
6:48
Speaker 8: Exactly.
6:48
Speaker 1: Okay.
6:49
Speaker 8: And, well, we played Ohio State. We should get no.
6:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:55
Speaker 8: Like, so now what we got was we got UNC,
6:58
Speaker 8: North Carolina versus TCU in Dublin, which is not an
7:04
Speaker 8: exciting game.
7:05
Speaker 1: It's not.
7:05
Speaker 8: And then we got USC. Did you see the crowd
7:09
Speaker 8: for the USC game?
7:10
Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen it. I haven't even seen a
7:12
Speaker 1: highlight from last week.
7:14
Speaker 8: By the way, 979-695-1620. I would love for you guys
7:18
Speaker 8: to join the conversation because it might just be us.
7:20
Speaker 8: It might just be us. I don't know. But do
7:25
Speaker 8: you feel like there's the usual energy around college football
7:30
Speaker 8: this season? I mean, normally I'm buzzing. You know, the
7:35
Speaker 8: week of the game.
7:35
Speaker 1: Of course, USC is USC. There's nobody in those stands.
7:41
Speaker 8: USC, there were, I'm talking tens in attendance in the Coliseum.
7:46
Speaker 1: No, when I first, before my eyes focused, I was like, man,
7:50
Speaker 1: they did a really good job of all wearing that
7:52
Speaker 1: Crimson School color. Then I realized that's the color of
7:55
Speaker 1: the seats.
7:55
Speaker 8: I would say 3,000 people, Tom.
7:56
Speaker 6: Maybe.
7:59
Speaker 8: For a, for a debut week.
8:02
Speaker 1: Who are they playing?
8:03
Speaker 8: Oh, who cares? Just some, just some, I mean, that's.
8:06
Speaker 1: San Jose state.
8:07
Speaker 8: Yeah. That's not, that's also not a bad matchup. That's
8:10
Speaker 8: an in state.
8:12
Speaker 1: Maybe that was, I don't know.
8:14
Speaker 8: I don't know. That's I, I agree with you.
8:16
Speaker 1: I don't feel the hype.
8:17
Speaker 8: I don't have an answer for it.
8:18
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the Aggies this season. I think they're
8:21
Speaker 1: going to be, again, I think they're going to outperform expectation.
8:25
Speaker 10: Yeah.
8:25
Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be a really fun
8:28
Speaker 1: season to watch.
8:29
Speaker 11: It is.
8:29
Speaker 1: I am not just, oh, my God, game day. I'm
8:32
Speaker 1: going to watch. Don't get me wrong.
8:33
Speaker 8: I think part of it, I do think part of
8:36
Speaker 8: it is you need to have those first week matchups.
8:39
Speaker 8: And not for everybody. I get the first games of
8:41
Speaker 8: the season. Most people, you're going to be playing someone
8:43
Speaker 8: you're just going to stomp by 80 points.
8:45
Speaker 12: That's.
8:45
Speaker 8: That's, you know, like ease into a nice football season.
8:48
Speaker 8: I understand it. Someone's got to bite the bullet and
8:50
Speaker 8: play a top five matchup every year.
8:52
Speaker 9: Yeah.
8:52
Speaker 1: I mean, last year, probably two or three teams. Notre
8:55
Speaker 1: Dame was our first game, right? I mean, that you
8:57
Speaker 1: talk about coming in with hype.
8:59
Speaker 8: That's what I mean. You need some schools to bite
9:02
Speaker 8: the bullet on this. And the reason being is because
9:05
Speaker 8: everyone else, if you don't have anything to watch, that's interesting.
9:10
Speaker 8: I mean, good Lord, Week Zero only had two games?
9:12
Speaker 8: It was two games, and no one from the SEC
9:16
Speaker 8: was in action. No one in the big Is USC
9:20
Speaker 8: Big Ten? Whatever.
9:21
Speaker 1: Who knows who they are.
9:23
Speaker 8: There were not any of the power programs that were
9:25
Speaker 8: actually doing anything.
9:26
Speaker 1: I'm just shocked that TCU has fallen to the point
9:29
Speaker 1: where they get beat by the Belichicks.
9:31
Speaker 8: That was the problem, too, is I was watching that game,
9:33
Speaker 8: and I was thinking, is TCU that bad, or did
9:36
Speaker 8: UNC kind of get good?
9:38
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm looking at.
9:39
Speaker 7: Surely not.
9:39
Speaker 8: Why is this in Ireland? You know, it's just, there
9:43
Speaker 8: are a lot of, and again, if you guys are
9:45
Speaker 8: feeling excited about it, that's great. I just can't. 41,000
9:49
Speaker 8: student tickets pulled from Shannon. Is that a record?
9:52
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a record, but it's solid.
9:54
Speaker 8: You know, 41 000 that that that says the the
9:57
Speaker 8: kids are ready for it oh yeah the kids are
9:59
Speaker 8: ready for it uh roy it does not feel like
10:02
Speaker 8: college football because this has become pro football at college
10:06
Speaker 8: level and it is hot roy i can't i can't
10:10
Speaker 8: deny that there is some of my enjoyment for this
10:14
Speaker 8: that has probably been sucked.
10:17
Speaker 1: Out by the process. It's been ebbing ever since the
10:21
Speaker 1: whole NIL stuff. And I don't... In general, I'm always
10:25
Speaker 1: going to be an Aggie fan.
10:26
Speaker 8: I love the idea of compensating kids to play the game,
10:31
Speaker 8: and the reason being is because they deserve it, frankly.
10:35
Speaker 8: It's a hard job.
10:36
Speaker 1: I agree.
10:37
Speaker 13: Now.
10:38
Speaker 8: I have no idea what maniac decided to just say,
10:42
Speaker 8: no rules, and let's just go crazy.
10:44
Speaker 1: I don't want you swapping jerseys every season. I don't
10:48
Speaker 1: want you going to the league and then trying to
10:50
Speaker 1: come back. I mean, just make sense of it, please.
10:54
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it does take some of the fun
11:00
Speaker 8: out of it. It takes some of the passion out
11:02
Speaker 8: of it. When it's just a bunch of dudes who
11:06
Speaker 8: you know are going to be here forever for one year.
11:09
Speaker 8: And then you're going to have to hope that a
11:10
Speaker 8: few of them stick around. And I, I don't know, but.
11:12
Speaker 1: Anyway, there's a lot there. Joseph says there's been more
11:16
Speaker 1: hype over the LSU NFL players than over the season itself.
11:19
Speaker 1: Completely agree.
11:20
Speaker 8: Not just, I don't want to just make this about
11:22
Speaker 8: the criminals at LSU.
11:24
Speaker 1: No, let's make it about them.
11:25
Speaker 8: No, they, they deserve it. Texas tech.
11:27
Speaker 5: Yeah.
11:28
Speaker 8: The gambling kid.
11:29
Speaker 10: Yeah.
11:29
Speaker 8: The quarterback that honestly should probably be headed to face
11:33
Speaker 8: charges based on, I mean, it.
11:34
Speaker 1: Used to be, no, he's not.
11:37
Speaker 8: But we spent a lot of time wondering if a
11:39
Speaker 8: kid that's got like 40,000 gambling instances should be just
11:43
Speaker 8: allowed to come back and play college ball again. I mean,
11:48
Speaker 8: these stories are becoming the norm. I don't like it.
11:53
Speaker 1: It makes me feel icky.
11:55
Speaker 8: Anyway, if you want to weigh in on any of this.
11:57
Speaker 8: And again, if we're just being negative Nancys and you
12:01
Speaker 8: are so fired up and you are ready to see
12:04
Speaker 8: some fighting Texas Aggie football. this season today like you
12:07
Speaker 8: feel like it's every other season if that's if that's
12:10
Speaker 8: your vibe then please weigh in tell us because i'd
12:13
Speaker 8: love to know that other people aren't feeling so flat
12:16
Speaker 8: about this.
12:16
Speaker 1: I think joseph hit the nail on the head with
12:18
Speaker 1: what he said oh you're right and the daryl said
12:20
Speaker 1: there's no enthusiasm because the games have become more about
12:23
Speaker 1: money than for the love of the game there's a
12:25
Speaker 1: lot of that too and there's a lot of that
12:28
Speaker 1: you know seeing a game in person I used to
12:31
Speaker 1: love it. There's a lot of reasons now why I
12:34
Speaker 1: don't gravitate to it. One of them is if I
12:36
Speaker 1: have to sit in the heat through a two and
12:39
Speaker 1: a half, three minute, whatever TV timeout.
12:42
Speaker 8: Yeah.
12:43
Speaker 1: When I should be watching football on the field.
12:46
Speaker 8: It's the experience. The experience has gotten. Anyway, like we said,
12:50
Speaker 8: weigh in. We're going to take a break. We'll be
12:52
Speaker 8: back right after this on the Info Maniacs.
12:53
Speaker 14: Before you drive on the highways and back roads to
12:56
Speaker 14: follow your favorite team this fall, stop by Sevchek Service Center.
12:59
Speaker 14: Sevchek's been keeping Brazos Valley residents safe on the road
13:03
Speaker 14: for well over 50 years.
13:05
Speaker 1: Whether it's a road safety.
13:06
Speaker 14: Check, tires, oil changes, or something a little more complicated,
13:10
Speaker 14: Pat and his staff have the experience and commitment that
13:13
Speaker 14: will give you the security you need for a trip
13:15
Speaker 14: across town or across the country. SEPTEC Service Center, 2200 Longmire,
13:20
Speaker 14: just down from the post office in College Station.
13:23
Speaker 8: Hey gang, just wanted to ask you a quick question.
13:26
Speaker 1: Did you board up your windows?
13:28
Speaker 8: I'm kidding. I am so kidding. It's not that kind
13:32
Speaker 8: of storm. Just a little bit of rain. But what
13:35
Speaker 8: if it was that kind of storm? What if Some
13:39
Speaker 8: crazy things happened and all of a sudden you needed
13:42
Speaker 8: some windows repaired. I always wonder about you guys on
13:46
Speaker 8: a golf course. I mean, surely, you know, every once
13:50
Speaker 8: in a while you're going to lose a window, right?
13:54
Speaker 1: Who do you call?
13:55
Speaker 8: You could go to the Internet. You could go to
13:58
Speaker 8: one of the national companies or you could turn to
14:01
Speaker 8: your friends here in the Browns Valley who've been getting
14:04
Speaker 8: it right for 80 years. That would be Acme Glass.
14:07
Speaker 8: They can handle you for anything. residential, heck, even commercial, auto,
14:13
Speaker 8: they've got it all. If it's glass, Acme has it.
14:16
Speaker 8: You have heard us say that many times, and it's true.
14:19
Speaker 8: So whenever some crazy things happen, at least you know
14:23
Speaker 8: you're not going to have to worry about the glass.
14:27
Speaker 8: Check them out online, acmeglass.com.
14:30
Speaker 1: We're in the CC Electric studio from new homes to
14:33
Speaker 1: flickering lights. They are here to help.
14:35
Speaker 8: Ccelectricbcs.com 1620-945-WTAW 979-695-1620. We were, again, discussing something that we
14:47
Speaker 8: both agree that we just don't feel.
14:50
Speaker 1: It's just flat.
14:51
Speaker 8: The energy. Yeah. The usual electricity in the air of
14:58
Speaker 8: the beginning of a college football season. I think there's
15:01
Speaker 8: a lot of reasons for it. Again, week zero having almost,
15:04
Speaker 8: last week having almost no games, or definitely had two
15:07
Speaker 8: games and both of them stank.
15:09
Speaker 1: I think it's going to hurt. I think it's going
15:10
Speaker 1: to happen as soon as the ball gets kicked off. Look,
15:13
Speaker 1: all summer long, I mean, all winter long, while we
15:18
Speaker 1: were waiting in the doldrums for football to start again.
15:21
Speaker 8: Right.
15:22
Speaker 1: I felt hyped. I just don't know why I don't
15:23
Speaker 1: feel it like this week.
15:25
Speaker 8: Yeah, true. Now, this is also interesting because this kind
15:30
Speaker 8: of ties in. There's a debate about which you would
15:33
Speaker 8: rather participate in as far as your game day activities.
15:37
Speaker 8: And your choices are obviously, which one that we know
15:41
Speaker 8: really well here, tailgating. It's hard to say. It's hard to.
15:46
Speaker 8: take that out of your game day experience. Even if
15:49
Speaker 8: it's just breezing through, you know, to get having a quick,
15:51
Speaker 8: like taking a lap around before you go into the stadium,
15:55
Speaker 8: hard to imagine Aggie football without tailgating or is it
15:59
Speaker 8: because there is the other option, the home gate. I've
16:03
Speaker 8: never heard. I've never heard of the home gate until
16:06
Speaker 8: I read this.
16:06
Speaker 1: I mean, I, I, I've never called it a home.
16:08
Speaker 11: Yeah.
16:09
Speaker 8: I've never called it a home gate. So maybe you
16:11
Speaker 8: just invented the word. But they say it's better to
16:15
Speaker 8: home gate than to tailgate. 61% of people say they'd
16:19
Speaker 8: rather do this than tailgate. And I bet you can
16:23
Speaker 8: guess what it is. It's pregame at home.
16:27
Speaker 1: Exactly.
16:27
Speaker 8: That's what it is. Pregame at home.
16:29
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about getting the drunken public
16:32
Speaker 1: ticket because you're at home.
16:34
Speaker 8: That's right. You're in your house and then you go
16:37
Speaker 8: from the home to the game and then the game
16:41
Speaker 8: to the home. Air conditioning. no legal complications.
16:46
Speaker 1: Right.
16:47
Speaker 8: But it makes sense because what was the big story
16:49
Speaker 8: earlier that, uh, that gigantic development they're doing with game
16:54
Speaker 8: day suites that are in no universe close to Kyle field.
16:59
Speaker 1: Right.
17:01
Speaker 8: West Villa Maria.
17:02
Speaker 11: Why?
17:02
Speaker 8: Because like, it's kind of like, you know, a pregame
17:06
Speaker 8: people want don't necessarily need to be in a parking lot, man.
17:09
Speaker 8: You can just, but then do you cheat yourself on the, Possibly.
17:15
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, look, I like not only
17:19
Speaker 1: home gating, but I like home watching too. I just
17:22
Speaker 1: prefer it. Just the way I am these days. I
17:25
Speaker 1: can have the crowd of people that I want to
17:28
Speaker 1: have with me. We have all the creature comforts. I
17:32
Speaker 1: can perform better in the kitchen. I can perform better
17:36
Speaker 1: behind the bar.
17:37
Speaker 8: So you're saying all hands down, if your preference at
17:39
Speaker 8: this point in life, is I want to watch it
17:42
Speaker 8: at home. I want to do a party at home.
17:44
Speaker 8: I have some friends over. I have some drinks.
17:45
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
17:46
Speaker 8: That is your number one option.
17:48
Speaker 1: One of my favorite football seasons ever. We got together
17:51
Speaker 1: with a group of other parents that had children all
17:54
Speaker 1: the same age, right? They're lifelong friends. And every week
17:57
Speaker 1: we would rotate per game. And the person who was
18:01
Speaker 1: hosting would cook something having relevance to football. whoever we
18:06
Speaker 1: were playing.
18:07
Speaker 15: Right.
18:08
Speaker 16: Right.
18:08
Speaker 1: And we made a big deal out of it. You know,
18:10
Speaker 1: I had the Razorback game, so I had, you know,
18:12
Speaker 1: made a pork belly, burnt ends and ribs and all
18:15
Speaker 1: the things, right. We, for the Texas game, you're roasting
18:19
Speaker 1: some brisket, whatever. I love that. It was the most
18:22
Speaker 1: fun surrounding a college football season that I've ever had.
18:25
Speaker 8: I don't know. I think it might be some of the,
18:27
Speaker 8: maybe age into that.
18:28
Speaker 1: I think so.
18:29
Speaker 8: I'm not sure, but I did want to bring this

18:50
Speaker 8: stuff that Will just mentioned, Or is there no substitute
18:53
Speaker 8: to watching the game live in person at Kyle Field
18:56
Speaker 8: and that game day experience? Which do you choose and why?

22:08
Speaker 18: around the world practice censorship. Even places like France, which
22:13
Speaker 18: touts democracy, finds ways to stifle free expression. And don't
22:18
Speaker 18: even get me started on China, Russia, Iran. Even the
22:22
Speaker 18: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia punishes expression it doesn't like. Here
22:27
Speaker 18: in the USA, censorship is illegal in government agencies. There
22:32
Speaker 18: are whistleblower laws and civil lawsuits to protect the folks
22:36
Speaker 18: from totalitarianism. But in the private sector, censorship is allowed,
22:41
Speaker 18: and this is damaging our country. The Conservative Media Research
22:46
Speaker 18: Center did a study of late-night television programs and found
22:51
Speaker 18: only two non-liberal guests appeared to talk policy the entire
22:56
Speaker 18: year of 2025, two out.
23:00
Speaker 1: Of hundreds.
23:02
Speaker 18: They were Greg Gutfeld, who talked to Jimmy Fallon about boozing,
23:07
Speaker 18: and an economist who explained tariffs to Jon Stewart. Huge
23:12
Speaker 18: media companies like CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN have sent a
23:16
Speaker 18: clear signal that no conservatives need apply. To his credit,
23:20
Speaker 18: Bill Maher has defied the blatant blackballing on HBO, but
23:25
Speaker 18: he's taken enormous heat for doing so. Media companies reach
23:29
Speaker 18: millions of Americans every day. People who don't know very
23:33
Speaker 18: much are easily swayed. Most celebrities hate Donald Trump. So
23:40
Speaker 18: the ill-informed hate Donald Trump. It's the lemmings factor.

Speaker 1: From the WTAW newsroom, good morning. I'm Will Welch. Brazos
26:42
Speaker 1: County Commissioner's Court will host two public hearings this morning.
26:46
Speaker 1: The first to discuss the county's $ 482 million budget. The
26:50
Speaker 1: second to discuss the proposed property tax rate of $ 44. 84
26:52
Speaker 1: per $ 100 valuation. If the tax rate is adopted, it
26:58
Speaker 1: will be an increase of 3.43% over the current rate.
27:02
Speaker 1: But residents will likely pay less in taxes because the
27:05
Speaker 1: median home price in Brazos County has dropped from $ 412, 000
27:08
Speaker 1: to $ 340, 000. That homeowner would pay about $ 200 less for
27:14
Speaker 1: the year. Regular session is scheduled to begin at 10
27:16
Speaker 1: o'clock where the court is expected to adopt the budget
27:19
Speaker 1: and tax rate. A review of arrest records from Friday
27:22
Speaker 1: through Sunday revealed 26 alcohol-related arrests. nine DWIs, 16 for
27:28
Speaker 1: public intoxication, and one case of furnishing alcohol to a minor.
27:32
Speaker 1: Twenty arrests were in or near the Northgate Entertainment District.
27:36
Speaker 1: Fourteen of the 26 alcohol-related arrests involved a defendant under
27:40
Speaker 1: the age of 21. Tropical Storm Edward may bring us
27:44
Speaker 1: some much-needed rainfall. The storm is expected to weaken before
27:47
Speaker 1: it makes its way through our area, passing mostly to
27:51
Speaker 1: our east. Brazos County is expected to get between one
27:54
Speaker 1: half and two and a half inches of rain over
27:56
Speaker 1: the next five days. Grimes County and parts of Madison
27:59
Speaker 1: County may see three inches. The rain is expected to
28:02
Speaker 1: clear out before Saturday's football game. September 1st means that
28:06
Speaker 1: several new state laws will be taking effect, including one
28:09
Speaker 1: that will force companies to make it easier to do
28:12
Speaker 1: our own handiwork.
28:14
Speaker 13: A new right to repair law requires electronics manufacturers to
28:17
Speaker 13: make parts and tools more readily available to providers to
28:21
Speaker 13: make it easier and more affordable for folks needing certain
28:24
Speaker 13: things fixed. Solar panel companies and employees are required to
28:27
Speaker 13: register with the state of Texas and will be punished
28:31
Speaker 13: for any deceptive sales claims. As well, certain gold and
28:34

Speaker 1: woke up to a stranger in their apartment. College Station
31:04
Speaker 1: police were dispatched to the Heights Apartments in the 3000
31:07
Speaker 1: block of Holloman Drive South just after 1 o'clock Sunday
31:11
Speaker 1: morning for a report of an unknown man inside the residence.
31:14
Speaker 1: One resident told officers she was asleep in her bedroom
31:17
Speaker 1: and woke to find a man standing inside her room.
31:21
Speaker 1: Police found 18-year-old Cole Brawley passed out on the couch.
31:24
Speaker 1: Officers say Brawley was so intoxicated that they had to
31:28
Speaker 1: perform several sternal rubs to get his attention. He claimed
31:31
Speaker 1: he thought he was at a friend's apartment, but none
31:33
Speaker 1: of the women knew the man or had given him
31:35
Speaker 1: permission to be inside their apartment. Brawley was arrested and
31:39
Speaker 1: charged with criminal trespass of a habitation. During the arrest,
31:42
Speaker 1: he was found to be in possession of a nicotine
31:44
Speaker 1: vape so he was also charged with minor imposition of
31:48
Speaker 1: a tobacco product. He was released from jail on Sunday

Speaker 6: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
33:08
Speaker 6: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
33:11
Speaker 6: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
33:13
Speaker 6: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
33:16
Speaker 6: They showed me my options. They told me what my
33:19
Speaker 6: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
33:22
Speaker 6: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
33:25
Speaker 6: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
33:27
Speaker 6: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.

34:07
Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. We're the Infomaniacs on an interesting weather
34:15
Speaker 8: day today. Should be nice, 95 degrees, a little rain
34:18
Speaker 8: maybe this afternoon, maybe a better chance tonight, depending on
34:21
Speaker 8: what Edward does or doesn't do. But the temperatures, those
34:26
Speaker 8: are holding steady. There is no debate that we're not
34:30
Speaker 8: getting to 100 or that we're not getting past 90
34:32
Speaker 8: or 91 tomorrow. These are all great things. Enjoy them.
34:38
Speaker 1: Remind me after the show to take my raincoat out
34:40
Speaker 1: of the truck.
34:40
Speaker 8: Yeah, just, you know, and throw off some good vibes.

34:55
Speaker 8: I love the range of this show because I've got
34:57
Speaker 8: half of the audience calling us practically geriatric because of
35:03
Speaker 8: the idea. Watching the game at home is sometimes the play, okay?
35:12
Speaker 8: I'm not quite to the point Will is, but I'm
35:14
Speaker 8: getting there. Most games I'd probably side with you. A
35:18
Speaker 8: lot of people are saying that is not what Aggie
35:20
Speaker 8: football is about, but I disagree. Now, on the other side,
35:23
Speaker 8: a lot of people are saying that we nailed Fred.
35:26
Speaker 8: Best stadium seat is always and forever going to be
35:30
Speaker 8: my living room couch. Tell me a better game day
35:33
Speaker 8: environment than that. It's hard to do it unless you've
35:35
Speaker 8: got a suite, Fred. I don't have the suite now. Chris,
35:40
Speaker 8: 61 years old, home every time. I don't know when
35:42
Speaker 8: it happened, but I just don't like crowds anymore.
35:45
Speaker 1: Exactly right.
35:46
Speaker 8: That is what happens.
35:49
Speaker 1: Some people it doesn't happen for, but for me it did.
35:52
Speaker 8: Look at Ted's. Look at Ted's. game day routine. He says, uh,
35:56
Speaker 8: we're in our seventies at home. We crock pot pregame.
36:01
Speaker 8: And then the TV game at home, we avoid driving
36:03
Speaker 8: all day and just kind of, you know, just it's,
36:05
Speaker 8: it's a, it's a day of relaxation and college football.
36:08
Speaker 8: It's a beautiful thing, and there's no way you could
36:10
Speaker 8: get that anywhere else. Now, Ted, I get it, Ted,
36:12
Speaker 8: but the big, I can't crock pot, man. I mean,
36:16
Speaker 8: I'm not a crock pot guy. But that's seasoned to taste.
36:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
36:19
Speaker 8: You know, you like the grill. Ted likes the crock pot.
36:23
Speaker 8: You know, the methodology.
36:24
Speaker 1: I get the ease, yeah, as long as you're happy.
36:27
Speaker 8: Uh, nine, seven, nine, six, nine, five, 16, 20. We
36:29
Speaker 8: love getting your text messages and your phone calls. We'll
36:32
Speaker 8: just spent a good chunk of time with the kid
36:35
Speaker 8: in town.
36:35
Speaker 5: Yeah.
36:36
Speaker 1: I had the daughter in town for her birthday and
36:38
Speaker 1: I got her back to the airport yesterday afternoon.
36:41
Speaker 25: Yeah.
36:41
Speaker 1: She made it home yesterday.
36:42
Speaker 8: Did you cross stitch you something nice?
36:44
Speaker 1: She is not.
36:44
Speaker 10: Look, it is.
36:47
Speaker 1: It amazes me that I've got, you know, this 20
36:50
Speaker 1: year old sorority girl at old miss who is essentially
36:53
Speaker 1: a grandmother.
36:53
Speaker 7: Yeah.
36:55
Speaker 1: She has gotten into Needlepoint. I mean, way, way into Needlepoint.
37:00
Speaker 1: She made a couple of cool things for her house
37:03
Speaker 1: while she was here over the weekend.
37:05
Speaker 8: I love that.
37:05
Speaker 1: She loves it. She's also gotten into the Mahjong. We
37:08
Speaker 1: talked about that last week.
37:09
Speaker 8: That's another thing. She's into Mahjong and Needlepoint at 20
37:12
Speaker 8: years old.
37:13
Speaker 1: So as we were driving around yesterday morning after the
37:16
Speaker 1: show trying to get a few more things done before
37:18
Speaker 1: she took off, We started talking about the fact she
37:21
Speaker 1: got real excited on her social media. She noticed she goes, oh,
37:25
Speaker 1: it's at Moe's. The bingo is back this week. I'm like, what?
37:28
Speaker 8: Wait, she did a bingo, too.
37:31
Speaker 1: Apparently, yes, in a big way. And she's not alone.
37:35
Speaker 8: What do you get.
37:37
Speaker 1: This bar in Oxford? They have a basement bar below
37:42
Speaker 1: a barbecue restaurant in Oxford.
37:43
Speaker 25: All right.
37:44
Speaker 1: Nice place. Barbecue's not, you know, Texas, but nice for Oxford. Okay.
37:48
Speaker 1: They pack it every Thursday night for bingo.
37:51
Speaker 8: For bingo? And it's college kids?
37:54
Speaker 1: It's college kids. They have incredible prizes. All right. I'm
37:58
Speaker 1: talking about MacBooks and TVs and Jägermeister shot machines. And,
38:09
Speaker 1: I mean, crazy prizes.
38:10
Speaker 8: So I hit bingo, I get a MacBook?
38:13
Speaker 1: Possibly, yes.
38:14
Speaker 8: That's the kind of game we're playing?
38:16
Speaker 1: It's big time.
38:17
Speaker 8: Lord, I'd be there, too.
38:18
Speaker 1: She said there's so many people there that they run
38:21
Speaker 1: out of tables and people are sitting on the floor
38:23
Speaker 1: playing bingo.
38:23
Speaker 8: They're making a killing.
38:25
Speaker 1: They are making a killing with the bingo.
38:27
Speaker 8: Well, where's our version of this?
38:29
Speaker 1: We've got a bingo hall here, and there are college
38:32
Speaker 1: students that go. In fact, one of my good friends is, like,
38:34
Speaker 1: the main bingo caller there. Really? Yeah. How does he
38:38
Speaker 1: say the crowds are?
38:39
Speaker 8: Pretty good?
38:40
Speaker 1: The crowds are real good. You've got your regulars there.
38:43
Speaker 8: So this is a resurgence of bingo.
38:45
Speaker 1: It never died. It just kind of went underground, and
38:48
Speaker 1: now the youth have picked up on it.
38:49
Speaker 8: Now, what do I get if I win here?
38:52
Speaker 11: Cash.
38:52
Speaker 8: Cash money. Good cash money? MacBook cash money?
38:57
Speaker 1: Probably could be.
38:59
Speaker 8: Son of a gun.
39:01
Speaker 1: Hey, look, I'll get David on the phone sometime, man.
39:03
Speaker 1: I bet he'd love to talk about it.
39:05
Speaker 8: I want to hear his stories. I'm more amazed that
39:09
Speaker 8: there's an underground bingo game where you can just basically
39:12
Speaker 8: win anything in your heart's desire.
39:13
Speaker 1: And every so often they pop up. I know last
39:15
Speaker 1: year they popped up this bingo thing that they did
39:18
Speaker 1: in Bryan. It was like a disco bingo.
39:20
Speaker 8: Disco bingo?
39:21
Speaker 10: Yeah.
39:22
Speaker 1: Where have I been?
39:22
Speaker 18: I don't know.
39:23
Speaker 1: It was huge. Chelsea Reber went to it.
39:26
Speaker 8: In fairness, I was not here.
39:28
Speaker 1: But it came from Houston. They were doing it. in Houston.
39:30
Speaker 8: Disco bingo.
39:31
Speaker 1: I think that, I mean, it was like music, DJ, bingo, sing-alongs.
39:35
Speaker 8: I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Will, like, again, Mahjong
39:37
Speaker 8: is back.
39:38
Speaker 1: Yeah.
39:39
Speaker 8: In a big way. Obviously, the needlepoint cross-stitching game is back.
39:44
Speaker 1: Well, the daughter did say one thing about the bingo
39:47
Speaker 1: there in Oxford, Mississippi. Apparently, the gal that is the
39:52
Speaker 1: bingo caller there, part of her, I guess, payment plan
39:58
Speaker 1: is she has an open bar tab. And my daughter
40:03
Speaker 1: said by the end of the evening, she gets real punchy.
40:08
Speaker 1: And she likes to try to be real funny when
40:10
Speaker 1: she's calling things. And one of the things.
40:12
Speaker 8: This is my kind of game.
40:12
Speaker 1: She reaches this particular level of blood alcohol content.
40:17
Speaker 11: Right.
40:17
Speaker 1: And she will say things along these lines. It's the
40:21
Speaker 1: kind of tumor you want to have. It's B9. B9.
40:23
Speaker 5: B9.
40:32
Speaker 8: We're going to replace you. I'm telling you, man. We're
40:35
Speaker 8: going to have what Joseph will is going to become
40:38
Speaker 8: groaners with the bingo lady. We keep going down this road.
40:42
Speaker 1: She's that good.
40:43
Speaker 11: Wow.
40:43
Speaker 1: She's that good. All right.
40:45
Speaker 8: Remember, 979-695-1620. If you have anything for us, text in. Amy,
40:51
Speaker 8: planet bingo is in.
40:54
Speaker 1: Plant bingo. Plant bingo. What is plant bingo?
40:57
Speaker 8: I don't know. Succulent. Succulents and such does it periodically,
41:01
Speaker 8: and I'm for it. You're telling me that there's a
41:03
Speaker 8: bingo game where you win plants?
41:06
Speaker 1: Oh, Tucker, if there was a bingo game where you
41:08
Speaker 1: could win kittens?
41:09
Speaker 8: Oh, no, I agree. That would get me there. That
41:14
Speaker 8: would absolutely get me there. Speaking of kittens, I have
41:18
Speaker 8: been one-upped on the kitten rescue game.
41:20
Speaker 1: Have you?
41:21
Speaker 8: I seriously have. Six Kittens Rescue. You ever heard of
41:25
Speaker 8: these guys? I feel like if you're into animals, you
41:27
Speaker 8: know Six Kittens. They're one of the groups in town.
41:29
Speaker 8: They found themselves a bobcat.
41:33
Speaker 11: Kitten.
41:34
Speaker 4: What?
41:34
Speaker 8: A bobcat kitten. Again, my highest aspirations. I would have
41:39
Speaker 8: raised that thing. for life i don't think you're not
41:43
Speaker 8: supposed to do that you're actually not supposed to do
41:47
Speaker 8: that for many reasons i think this one similarly they
41:49
Speaker 8: turned it over to one of the wildlife people and
41:51
Speaker 8: they're going to deal with uh you know trying to.
41:53
Speaker 1: Figure out what's going on here i'm seeing this story
41:55
Speaker 1: yeah so apparently somebody brought a kitten and they thought
41:58
Speaker 1: it was a kitten they thought it was a kitten
42:00
Speaker 1: and they brought it to six kittens.
42:02
Speaker 8: It said hey this kitten needs help you are in
42:04
Speaker 8: animal rescue can you help this kitten and they said
42:08
Speaker 8: heck yeah Bring him on in. They thought it was
42:10
Speaker 8: just a little tabby kitten. And then all of a sudden,
42:13
Speaker 8: they started looking at the kitten. They said, these ears
42:16
Speaker 8: don't look quite right. This face doesn't look quite right.
42:20
Speaker 8: These paws are pretty big. Frankly, this looks like a
42:23
Speaker 8: one-day-old kitten is about the size of, like, a three-week kitten.
42:27
Speaker 8: What is happening here? And sure enough, boom. Bobcat. The
42:31
Speaker 8: pictures for this. I will share this.
42:33
Speaker 1: Surprise, surprise, surprise.
42:35
Speaker 8: I would have fallen.
42:37
Speaker 1: I would have fallen over. You would have gone radio silent.
42:41
Speaker 1: You said, no, nobody ever dropped off anything. I didn't
42:45
Speaker 1: do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything.
42:46
Speaker 8: I didn't see nothing. I didn't see nothing.
42:49
Speaker 1: You'd have gotten our Sergeant Schultz. I know nothing.
42:52
Speaker 8: How long would I have lasted trying to pretend that
42:56
Speaker 8: that was a regular cat?
42:58
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have pretended. You would have known. I would
43:01
Speaker 1: have known.
43:02
Speaker 8: But when people come over to the house, no, no,
43:04
Speaker 8: this is not it. I don't know.
43:07
Speaker 1: It's just a big cat. It's a big cat.
43:09
Speaker 8: What are you talking about?
43:11
Speaker 1: It's a little more ferocious than your usual house cat.
43:13
Speaker 1: So anyway, that kitten, apparently it had some injuries and
43:17
Speaker 1: six kittens ended up finding a certified wildlife rescue people
43:23
Speaker 1: that can take care of that.
43:24
Speaker 8: Yeah, which means they are better people than me.
43:26
Speaker 25: Yeah.
43:26
Speaker 8: They are better people than me.
43:28
Speaker 1: Well, your heart's in the right place, man. I get it.
43:32
Speaker 1: Your heart's in the right place. The brain may be
43:34
Speaker 1: a little off.
43:35
Speaker 8: Back after this.
43:36

44:18
Speaker 3: Gavin Stone was diagnosed with autism when he was 3
44:21
Speaker 3: years old. Now a teenager, he's a doctor. He's had
44:23
Speaker 3: to overcome adversity all of his life. Fortunately, Gavin has
44:28
Speaker 3: allowed adversity to make him better, not bitter. Gavin's inner
44:32
Speaker 3: character was put on display after a terrible incident he
44:35
Speaker 3: suffered at school. A group of kids, who began by
44:38
Speaker 3: whispering to each other about how weird and creepy Gavin was,
44:42
Speaker 3: lured him to an isolated location and jumped him. He
44:46
Speaker 3: suffered a concussion and was severely wounded. Fortunately, he recovered well.
44:51
Speaker 3: He also responded to his attackers in a way that
44:54
Speaker 3: left many people speechless. Instead of revenge, he chose grace.
44:59
Speaker 3: He asked authorities to sentence the boys to community service
45:02
Speaker 3: instead of jail time, with the condition that their service
45:05
Speaker 3: be disability-related. He also asked the boys and their families
45:10
Speaker 3: to watch a 20-minute video in which he showed his
45:13
Speaker 3: wounds and explained the trauma the boys had caused him.
45:16
Speaker 3: Gavin then encouraged them to live differently by softening their
45:20
Speaker 3: hearts and toward people who were different from them. Ask questions,
45:24
Speaker 3: he said. Get to know people. I hope Gavin's story
45:27
Speaker 3: inspires us all to see differently. Justice and revenge are
45:32
Speaker 3: not the same thing. Balancing the scales doesn't have to
45:35
Speaker 3: mean blackening our hearts. If we want to live in
45:38
Speaker 3: a world that operates on love and grace, we must
45:41
Speaker 3: become people of love and grace. For Focus on the Family,
45:46
Speaker 3: I'm Jim Daley.
45:47
Speaker 25: The following is a real-life story from Trinity Debt Management.
45:51
Speaker 12: When I was feeling the stress of too much credit
45:53
Speaker 12: card debt, I looked at two different options, debt settlement
45:57
Speaker 12: and debt management. They may sound the same, but guess what?
46:01
Speaker 12: They're not. Debt settlement seemed like a quick fix, but
46:04
Speaker 12: I found out it would destroy my credit, create tax headaches,
46:08
Speaker 12: and hit me with huge fees. They actually told me
46:11
Speaker 12: to stop paying my bills. No way. Not me. Then
46:15
Speaker 12: I turned to a debt management plan developed by the
46:18
Speaker 12: team at Trinity. They worked with my creditors, lowered my payments,
46:22
Speaker 12: reduced my interest, saved me thousands and paid off my debt.
46:26
Speaker 12: And Trinity is a Christian company, which is important to me.
46:32
Speaker 25: My name is Heather. Please forget debt settlement and remember
46:34
Speaker 25: Trinity Debt Management. Set against the events of September 11th

Speaker 27: Game week is officially here for Aggie football, and with
47:53
Speaker 27: the anticipation of the start of the season, head coach
47:56
Speaker 27: Mike Elko met with the media to talk about everything
47:58
Speaker 27: happening with Aggie football this week.
48:01
Speaker 11: Let's just start with things going on in and around
48:03
Speaker 11: the program. Really excited for the R.C. Slocum statue reveal.
48:07
Speaker 11: That'll be Friday at 2 o'clock. Really, really unbelievable accomplishment
48:12
Speaker 11: for a guy who is the winningest head football coach
48:15
Speaker 11: in Texas A & M history. Want to say congratulations
48:18
Speaker 11: to the 32 Aggies who made football rosters yesterday. What
48:22
Speaker 11: a great accomplishment for those guys yesterday. And then from
48:25
Speaker 11: our perspective, it's finally game week. You know, finally we
48:28
Speaker 11: get to stop talking. Finally we get to stop talking
48:30
Speaker 11: about what things can be, what things can be about.
48:33
Speaker 11: We get to run out of the tunnel and go
48:35
Speaker 11: play somebody else, and it's beyond past the time to
48:38
Speaker 11: go do that. Our kids are really excited and fired
48:41
Speaker 11: up for it. Opportunity to take on a Missouri State
48:44
Speaker 11: team who recently made the jump to Conference USA and
48:48
Speaker 11: really is one of the hotter athletic departments in the
48:51
Speaker 11: country when you look at some of the things they
48:53
Speaker 11: accomplished last year, football being a bowl team in their
48:55
Speaker 11: first year in Division I. I just think this is
48:59
Speaker 11: a program that's really, really on the rise.
49:02
Speaker 27: Coach Elko also spoke about the Aggies' preparation ahead of
49:05
Speaker 27: their matchup against Missouri State and what they know about
49:08
Speaker 27: the Bears.
49:09
Speaker 11: You know, they've got a really talented quarterback that came
49:12
Speaker 11: over from UTEP that started seven games, who's got the
49:15
Speaker 11: ability to hurt you with his arms and with his legs,
49:17
Speaker 11: and came with the offensive coordinator. and so he's going
49:20
Speaker 11: to be familiar with the offensive style and what they're
49:24
Speaker 11: trying to do. They've got a slot receiver who is
49:28
Speaker 11: their leading receiver from last year who's really, really talented.
49:31
Speaker 11: They've got a big, tall, athletic tight end. who will
49:34
Speaker 11: be a matchup issue in the past game. I think
49:38
Speaker 11: that's what you know. And then from there, it's a
49:40
Speaker 11: lot of transfers and trying to piece together who's going
49:44
Speaker 11: to go out there, what they're going to look like
49:46
Speaker 11: in the new system, in a new program.
49:48
Speaker 27: Kickoff for the A & M versus Missouri State game
49:51
Speaker 27: is set for 6 o'clock on Saturday night at Kyle Field.
49:55
Speaker 25: The No.
49:55
Speaker 27: 12 A & M volleyball team heads back out on
49:58
Speaker 27: the road for the inaugural All-State Big Ten and SEC
50:01
Speaker 27: Challenge Week, where the Aggies face No. 12 Purdue and No.
50:06
Speaker 27: 21 Indiana today and Wednesday, with both games being played
50:10
Speaker 27: at Mackey Arena. Head coach Jamie Morrison spoke about the
50:13
Speaker 27: Aggies' three-game win streak heading into the challenge after sweeping
50:17
Speaker 27: the Texas A & M Invitational.
50:19
Speaker 9: I would talk a lot about the core tenets that
50:21
Speaker 9: we hold true, and I thought we did a really
50:22
Speaker 9: good job of that. When we sat down and watched video,
50:24
Speaker 9: I kind of just throw up a smorgasbord of, I
50:26
Speaker 9: don't know, clips that are up there, and 80% of
50:29
Speaker 9: them were pointing out good things. So the foundation of
50:33
Speaker 9: it is there, and the comments that we were talking
50:38
Speaker 9: about are making sure that we make improvements. So I'm
50:40
Speaker 9: encouraged by what I'm seeing, by the growth that we have,
50:43
Speaker 9: and I'm looking forward to putting that to the test again.
50:46
Speaker 27: Coach Morrison also shared thoughts on Purdue and Indiana ahead
50:49
Speaker 27: of the matches.
50:51
Speaker 9: Two really good opponents, and I respect both coaches quite
50:54
Speaker 9: a bit. So playing, I don't know, Purdue, and a
50:59
Speaker 9: good ball control team, really good blocking team. And again,
51:02
Speaker 9: their offense and things change a little bit depending on
51:04
Speaker 9: what happens with their opposite if she's in or out.
51:06
Speaker 9: Then we play Indiana, who had a really.
51:08
Speaker 25: Good season last season.
51:09
Speaker 9: Can run a really fast offense and cause some trouble
51:11
Speaker 9: in their own way. So I watched a little bit
51:13
Speaker 9: of video on both. We're going to get the attackers
51:15
Speaker 9: here once I get done with this meeting, so I
51:16
Speaker 9: have that piece done.
51:17
Speaker 27: The Aggies game against Purdue begins tonight at 7 o'clock

52:42
Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW. The Infomaniacs, happy Tuesday. Today, it's going to be
52:48
Speaker 8: a lot cooler than it was yesterday. 95 for a
52:50
Speaker 8: high and tropical in nature because we're dealing with an Edward,
52:55
Speaker 8: which may be coming close to us, maybe not. But
52:58
Speaker 8: it's probably going to produce rain for some of you guys.
53:02
Speaker 8: Definitely people in the eastern half of the listening area
53:05
Speaker 8: are going to probably get a little something out of this.
53:08
Speaker 8: As far as in general, we got about a 30-something
53:12
Speaker 8: percent chance of rain today. Got about a 60% chance
53:16
Speaker 8: tonight and a 70% chance tomorrow. Tomorrow's high is going
53:18
Speaker 8: to be about 90 degrees, which is fantastic. By Friday,
53:23
Speaker 8: it's cleared out, mostly sunny and a high still, only
53:26
Speaker 8: getting up into the low 90s. Weather is brought to
53:29

53:34
Speaker 8: Give them a call at 268-ROOF or go to unitedroofingpros.com.
53:38
Speaker 8: I am I'm 50-50 on this. I want to play
53:40
Speaker 8: this for you. I want to get Will's opinion. I
53:42
Speaker 8: also want your opinion, too. This has to do with
53:45
Speaker 8: an interaction that occurred at a Subway sandwich shop, and
53:49
Speaker 8: people are debating whether or not this guy took it
53:51
Speaker 8: a little too far. The TikTok has gone viral. You
53:55
Speaker 8: will see why. But I am wondering if this is
53:58
Speaker 8: how he should have reacted to the person, the sandwich
54:02
Speaker 8: artist behind the counter.
54:03
Speaker 5: Never in the history of me going to Subway have
54:06
Speaker 5: they ever charged a toast.
54:08
Speaker 8: Toast is free.
54:10
Speaker 5: You're trying to contaminate my sandwich by putting it in there.
54:13
Speaker 5: That's crazy, bro.
54:15
Speaker 8: You can't toast lettuce.
54:16
Speaker 5: You know when you put it in there, you put
54:18
Speaker 5: the cheese and the bacon on first. Then you toast it.
54:21
Speaker 5: Then you take it out. You know that already. But
54:24
Speaker 5: then you just told me that They charge for toasting.
54:28
Speaker 8: That's crazy.
54:28
Speaker 5: Can you give me my refund?
54:30
Speaker 1: I don't want to eat here.
54:30
Speaker 8: I don't feel safe. He just lost another guy because
54:33
Speaker 8: he was told there is an upcharge for toasting.
54:35
Speaker 1: Well, that and the whole, he got that whole rest
54:38
Speaker 1: thing right. You put the bread, the meat, and the
54:40
Speaker 1: cheese in the toaster. You do not put The accessories.
54:44
Speaker 8: You do not put the accessories in there. Did he
54:46
Speaker 8: go too far in the response? WTAW, Infomaniacs, good morning.
54:50
Speaker 8: You're on the radio. What you got?
54:52
Speaker 1: Good morning.
54:53
Speaker 15: I don't feel safe with this Ed Ward.
54:55
Speaker 18: Can we just call it Ed?
54:57
Speaker 8: Okay.
54:58
Speaker 1: All right.
54:59
Speaker 8: Ed is fine. Where do you live at? What part
55:01
Speaker 8: of the county?
55:03
Speaker 1: College Station.
55:04
Speaker 8: Oh, College Station.
55:05
Speaker 1: So you're going to be safe. You're not actually really
55:07
Speaker 1: concerned about.
55:08
Speaker 24: Yeah, it's just these foreign foreigners coming in.
55:12
Speaker 1: You don't like the foreigners.
55:13
Speaker 8: Oh, you just don't. Okay.
55:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
55:16
Speaker 8: Well, you know.
55:17
Speaker 23: Sounds French.
55:19
Speaker 8: Thanks for the question.
55:19
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, as long as it's French, that's fine.
55:21
Speaker 8: Good Lord. Also, I did some Googling on this, by
55:25
Speaker 8: the way. You can get upcharged for toasting at certain subways.
55:31
Speaker 8: This has been something that's been apparently happening more and more. Now,
55:35
Speaker 8: if you go to Subway's corporate office... They will tell
55:39
Speaker 8: you there's absolutely not any upcharge for toasting. But the
55:44
Speaker 8: thing is, Subway's kind of loose with the franchise.
55:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, the franchise is making their own decision. Hey, I
55:48
Speaker 1: can make an extra buck off of toasting.
55:50
Speaker 8: So I'm wondering if anyone has seen this, but it's
55:52
Speaker 8: not a ton. It's like 10, 20 cents. Toast is extra.
55:56
Speaker 10: Really?
55:57
Speaker 8: The toast is extra.
55:59
Speaker 1: There was a point in time I actually had a
56:02
Speaker 1: sub club card that was punched in six different states.
56:05
Speaker 1: I mean, I ate Subway toast. All of the time.
56:08
Speaker 1: That was back in the you gouge days before they
56:11
Speaker 1: started doing the V cut. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no,
56:14
Speaker 1: somebody tries to upcharge me for toasting out. I don't
56:17
Speaker 1: try to toast my lettuce out.
56:19
Speaker 8: I don't know that I'd yell about it. I think
56:21
Speaker 8: I would just walk away. I'd be I'd be.
56:23
Speaker 1: Trying to get my money back, get my money back.
56:25
Speaker 8: Like that's not not now, not now.
56:27
Speaker 1: We don't know what part of the country this was.
56:29
Speaker 1: There's parts of the country where yelling at people is
56:31
Speaker 1: accepted and encouraged.
56:33
Speaker 8: Whole coasts of the country.
56:34
Speaker 1: Yes.
56:35
Speaker 8: Talking about. But yeah, just something to watch out for.
56:39
Speaker 8: If you are a subway enthusiast, make sure on that
56:43
Speaker 8: receipt you are not getting tagged. Every penny counts these days,
56:47
Speaker 8: my friends. 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. Thank you for being here.
56:55
Speaker 8: Just about 8.
