• 5:27
  Speaker 7: owe an apology to your neighbor. Not because I offended him,
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: but Will has a mower. lawnmower that I had assumed
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: had just bit the big one.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it's been clinging on.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I've had to do a massive amount of maintenance and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: repair to it on things that shouldn't break.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Over the period of the three years that I've owned it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And to be fair... Where I mow is pretty brutal
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: on most equipment. It's not a golf course by any stretch.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: You're going over land, like property. So it's taken a beating.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It has taken a beating. My neighbor, who we talked
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to a lot, he was the fellow that helped me
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: rescue the fawn the other day, Sergeant Major neighbor. Both
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of his lawnmowers were down. He has a backup mower.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It was down. His primary mower was down. So he
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: asked on Sunday, I think it was, if he could
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: borrow my mower. And, of course, absolutely, right? But I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: did tell him that the current issue with the mower
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is that the center blade of the three blades on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the deck, we had attempted to change the blade there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And it was so locked up and jammed up that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we stripped the nut, and then we went through all
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the things that you typically.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Do to try to get one of those off.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: That you're supposed to do to fix it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: We were at the point where we were going to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: have to find a welder so that we could actually
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: weld something onto it that we could grip onto it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and then release the nut. But we hadn't gotten to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that point yet. So I told him about it. He said, well,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'll use it now. I'll just take a look at
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it and see if I can fix it. So I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: think he probably spent multiple hours over the past couple
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of days texting me. He said, yeah, I got the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: blade off. He welded twice to it. It snapped them
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: both times trying to get the thing off. He eventually
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: got the blade off. Not only did he replace that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: blade with one I had, he went ahead and sharpened
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the other three on there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: He brought the.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Mower back to me last night. It looks like it's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: brand new.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: Insane.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: And he said, you're going to love the way it mows.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You're not going to want to get rid of it
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and get a new one, which was my plan here.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I've got one priced out. I'm ready to pull the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: trigger here shortly.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: What on earth? Yesterday you were telling me, that's nice
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: of him. He ain't going to get it fixed.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, I had faith. I never doubt the Sergeant Major neighbor.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: But I just knew what it was going to require.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And I didn't know if, you know, I didn't know
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: if anybody would put that in on somebody else's mower.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Here's the thing. I have so much respect for guys
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: that can do that, that can literally fix anything. I mean,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: they just can fix anything and do it well. The
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: problem with those guys is that it gives other guys
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: false hope that they can actually fix the.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Stuff that's wrong with them. Oh, no, I've reached a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: point where I know my limitations.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: You do. I know what I can fix. You do.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's certain things I don't play with, though.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Was there... What are your.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll ask it this way. Before you knew your limitations,
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: did you ever attempt to fix something that went dramatically wrong?
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. I'm sure.
• 8:37
  Speaker 14: See, I.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: A big part of these stories is, again, because there's
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: a guy that you know that can tell you, I
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: just do this. And then you realize, no, no, no,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: that skill didn't transfer to me.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I will take you back to the beginning of our
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: show today.
• 8:51
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Where we have days of celebration.
• 8:53
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: What was the day of celebration?
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: It is the International Day of Failure.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: And what did you say? If you weren't failing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: You're not trying hard.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, you've got to stick yourself out there and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: try some things. Watch some YouTube videos. Call some friends.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I've got my buddy, Travis, who's always game to come
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: over and watch a YouTube video and try to fix things.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, YouTube is a— that changed the game.
• 9:17
  Speaker 16: And I did.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: So I was a weird high school kid. And I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: say this in the— so weird in this way. At any
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: one point of time in my high school experience, I
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: was in the band.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I was in FFA.
• 9:31
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I was in theater, and I played football.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: Dang.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Right. So, yeah, I had I had large circles of friends. Right.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And so in the FFA stuff, like I took ag classes,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: so I took a small engine class. I can weld
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and things like that. I mean, it's not pretty, but
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it's going to stick together.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Get it done.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, I can I can there's a few
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: things I can do, but I always I find people
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I like to say smart people really what they really
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: do is surround themselves.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: With smarter people. Yeah. I'm that smart. Yeah.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: What I want, since it is international failure day, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: would like to talk about our collective failures.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: What? It's like humanity?
• 10:12
  Speaker 17: No.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Just the ones that have to get dark. I'm thinking,
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: The ones where you tried to fix something and it
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: did not.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Went sideways.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: It did not go well. Because we all have those stories.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: We all do. So what I've got is these Brass
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Valley Fair and Rodeo general admission passes. Just got these
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: laid on me. The fair is obviously coming up pretty quick.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: October 23rd through 25th. Now, these will get you admission
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: to the fair. These are general admission. The rodeo is
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: an extra thing. Once you're there, you have to buy
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: a ticket to that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: It's all still very reasonable.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: If you want to go to the Brass Valley Fair,
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: which is going to be a great time, all I
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: want to hear is the story of when you failed
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: at fixing something. That's it. And you can call it in.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: You can text it in. We will randomly pick someone
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: and send them to the fair. Now, if you are
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: not someone that does all the fixing, perhaps your husband does.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Rat on him.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: What did he fail at?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: We offer you immunity. Yes, we will.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: Protect your identity as best we can. 979-695-1620 is our
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: text number. You want to do a voice note, that's fine.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: You know, we love those.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Want to call?
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Call, but if you want to text, that's just fine.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: Send those in. We'll see what you have coming up next.

  Speaker 5: What's going on, son?
• 11:51

  Speaker 7: 1620-945-WTAW what's up guys infomaniacs phone number 979-695-1620 and we
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: are talking failures today for a couple of reasons number
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: one Because this is never something that Will's neighbor, Sergeant
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: Major neighbor, would ever do. He apparently can literally fix anything,
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: including a motor mower, which was, I mean, DOA.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Well, DOA, but I mean, it had his issues.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: It had his day. But the dude brought in a welder, sharpeners, everything.
• 15:10
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: Got it done. That tends to give faith to people
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: like to, you know, like us, who like to just
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: maybe tinker with a little DIY, but frequently will fail.
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: So we're asking for your failures. When you tried to
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: fix something and it did not go as planned. And
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: to incentivize this, one of you is going to get
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: a four-pack of tickets to the Brass Valley Fair and Rodeo.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: General admission tickets to the fair. Go have a great
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: time on October 23rd through 25th. out at the expo.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I gotta go. I love the figure.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Let's go to the text messages.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Will, what do we got?
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Michael says, I tried to replace my truck's thermostat and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: make sure that I put a spring in it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: Ah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: And the spring sent the little metal piece flying across
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the yard.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: I bet that was a hands and knees sort of
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: thing right there.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: You got to find that. And there's no way to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: find that replacement.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: No, that once it's like you see it fly off
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: and it's just like, what do you got a metal detector?
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: That Hank Hill voice goes off in your head.
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Kyle texts in. Hey, guys. This is Kyle. Hi, Kyle.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I tried this last week with my washing machine to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: replace the suspension rods because it was rattling really bad
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and banging.
• 16:19
  Speaker 23: Oh, nice.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I replaced the rods, and it banged so bad it
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: put a hole in my wall.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: Holy cow, Kyle.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: How are you at sheetrock repair, Kyle? Is that going
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: to be the next one?
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: Like, that's really where the tests began.
• 16:32
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Is.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: Usually there's a point where it's like my threshold is
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: pretty low before it's just give me a phone. I'm
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: going to call somebody. But for others, no, no, no.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: I can fix it. I can clean this up. And yeah, yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Sheetrock work.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: That's going to be next. That is going to be
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And a lot of these situations, it is that I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: don't have the proper tools or equipment.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: You just have gear.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, because some of that stuff. You got to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have the right things for it. And I know a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: lot of guys use that as an excuse to increase
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: their tools.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: And that's, yeah, you use it however you want to.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: You know, it's always good. You love walking into a
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: garage full of tools and you just kind of, oh, man,
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: that's cool. You know, that's great. It's a lifetime of,
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: you know, projects that's displayed there. Kevin, a couple of
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: years back, I was working on the brakes on my car.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: That was when the jack broke and the car fell
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: on me.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Dear God, Kevin.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: Kevin, how did you get out of that situation?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Look, there's a lot of people that get hurt and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: killed by that all the time.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: There is.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget when I was first learning how to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: change a tire. I was told, look, you take that
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: flat tire on the rim and you set it underneath
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the vehicle on the side where you're on. So if
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the jack breaks, it falls on that tire. You got
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a little wiggle room to get out from there.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, see, that's smart. Just like an in case of emergency.
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because it falls on you. You better hope someone
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: else is home or you can reach your phone because
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: otherwise that's a bad day. We're glad you're okay, Kevin.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Chase wants us to transition to talking about other failures,
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: like the days when he feels like a failure as
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: a parent. You know, those days when you just can't
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: do anything right and you can't wait for bedtime just
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: to have some peace and quiet.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what, when it comes to parenting,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Feeling like you failed means chances are you're doing it right.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: Honestly, yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Because, first of all, you care enough to realize that
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you may have failed.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: I think that's the key. If you care that you
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: might fail, then you care. If you're someone that doesn't
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: know that and is like, yeah, whatever, they're going to
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: be fine, that's when you run into the problems. If
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: you're actually sitting there and like, oh, Lord, I did
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: everything wrong today.
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: Cool.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: And you also have to take into account whose perspective
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: is it coming from? Because your teenagers will tell you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: on a minute by minute basis.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: God, I know I did.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: How much you have failed.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, every day.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Every single day. But yet, if that's the case, chances
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: are good you're doing it right.
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely true.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, look, love them, nurture them, get them as adult
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: ready as you possibly can and get them out the nest.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: And also never forget, they're durable.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: Whatever you think. Whatever you think you did to mess
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: them up, I promise you, they're just fine.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: They're going to be all right.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: People forget about that. Let's see. What else do we
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: have here? Mike, I learned to fail at an early
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: age when I volunteered to change the oil in my
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: mom's car and poured C. quarts of 30 weight down
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: the entire driveway.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: Exxon Valdez of the neighborhood.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: That's a hazmat right there.
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: Mike, that's a problem.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Dude.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Fred, changing the belt on my mower deck eventually had
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: to humble myself and ask... For my father-in-law's help. Do
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: you know how many times I've asked for my father-in-law's
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: help with a project?
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I know how many times.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: The answer is every time.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, because my father-in-law is simply.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: You talk about a guy that can do anything and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: fix anything.
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: And wants to help you do it. I mean, I'm
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: so blessed when it comes to in-laws.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: That is a great thing whenever you find an in-law
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: where he's not going to make you feel bad about
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: it as well.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 20:37
  Speaker 21: Jeff.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: I was cleaning my dryer vent in the attic and
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: I stepped through the ceiling.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: I'm glad it was in the utility room with a
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: tall ceiling. That board is still holding up that ceiling
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: sheet rock.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: 10 years later.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: Vintage. Vintage, Jeff. Yeah.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, who hasn't stepped through a ceiling on occasion?
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: James. I took the challenge of my... James.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: No. You see, James, you got set up here.
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: James.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: I took the challenge of my wife to remodel a kitchen. James,
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: you may as well have tried to fight a bear.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: That's like, no way.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: We've all seen the remodel shows.
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: No, no. I've watched those more than anyone. I've never
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: gotten to the point where it's like, hey, remodel kitchen.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: I can probably do that. How hard can it be?
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: I've never felt that way.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: You are not watching the same ones I am because
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: every time they tear into something, they say, oh, we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: didn't see this issue. That's going to cost you another $ 35, 000.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: You always discover something when you start swinging the hammer.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't do a lot of home repair
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: because I don't want to discover what's worse.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: Needless to say, he says demolition is a lot easier
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: than reconstruction. After demolition of both walls and the floor,
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: I discovered, what, Will? All the things I did not know!
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: There you go. Wow.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: That and you got to play with, like, the one
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: thing that I don't play with at all. Hard and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: fast rule. I do not do electricity. Do not play
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: with electricity.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: You're a wise man, Will. You're a wise man. There's
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: always someone better to call. When it has to do
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: with electricity. I was probably four or five years old.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: I stuck a paper clip in a light socket at
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: my dad's office on campus. He was having me hang
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: out with him for the day or whatever. A shot
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: sparks across the room. From that time on, the fact
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: that I did not become an extra crispy marshmallow at
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: that point. No, not messing with the electricals. Well, gang,

• 24:06
  Speaker 7: get to weather?
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: This one comes in from Tony. My father was a doctor.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: And he would make me fix everything by his guidance.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: Because his hands couldn't get cut or rough because, you know, surgeon, doctor.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: Got to protect the tools. I always thought he was
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: being mean. Today, I can fix everything.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Anything.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: I'm a contractor and I make more money than my
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: dad ever dreamed of.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: It's very, very similar to an episode of the new
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: scrubs that I watched just last night.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Where, uh, I can't remember the names, right? But at
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: any rate, the doctor said he couldn't do housework because
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: he was a surgeon. Couldn't get his hands messed up.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: They were working that out in couples therapy.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: The, um, Yeah, it's funny how that works.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: And also, the reason, Tony, that you make all of
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: the money is because the world is filled with failures
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: like me and Will and all of the rest of us.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: Always keep a good contractor in your phone.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: At all times. Weather today, very gross. But, you know,
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: only getting up to the 90s. Still going to feel
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: like the 100s. Just enjoy your AC today. Slight chance
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: of a pop-up shower. Nothing really to hang your hopes on.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: And that's going to continue. But the weekend, by the
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: time we get to Saturday, highs in the mid-70s. Yeah,
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: that's what we're talking about. Weather is brought to you

• 26:34
  Speaker 22: it's easy to figure out why many members of the
• 26:37
  Speaker 22: Trump administration continue to give access to Fox News. It's
• 26:42
  Speaker 22: well-watched by conservatives and generous... to the president's men and women.
• 26:48
  Speaker 22: Social media outlets will soon pass FNC's reach, but it
• 26:53
  Speaker 22: will remain a comfort zone for the right.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with.
• 26:57
  Speaker 22: That when you consider that the other television news outfits
• 27:01
  Speaker 22: are all committed left. The Trump administration is the most
• 27:07
  Speaker 22: press accessible in history, unlike many Democrats who boycott opposing
• 27:13
  Speaker 22: points of view. It speaks with the leftist media. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 22: guess the Trumpsters hope to persuade. Long shot. Getting specific,
• 27:23
  Speaker 22: I don't understand the Jake Tapper thing. CNN loathes Mr. Trump,
• 27:30
  Speaker 22: and Tapper is right on board with that. He is
• 27:34
  Speaker 22: deeply enmeshed in the gotcha game, so why.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Bother with him?
• 27:40
  Speaker 22: I do respect politicians and pundits that mix it up,
• 27:44
  Speaker 22: That is a rapidly shrinking group. But I don't believe
• 27:48
  Speaker 22: in rewarding contrived, deceitful behavior. Both parties should engage the opposition.
• 27:55
  Speaker 22: Just be smart and honest about your agenda.

  Speaker 13: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 29:24
  Speaker 13: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 29:29
  Speaker 13: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 29:32
  Speaker 13: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 29:35
  Speaker 13: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 29:38
  Speaker 13: system that works for the people itself. blacklock has called
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses simplifying court procedures and
• 29:46
  Speaker 13: making legal services more affordable because a case should be
• 29:50
  Speaker 13: decided on the facts and the law not on who
• 29:53
  Speaker 13: can afford the longest fight texas courts belong to the
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: people That means judges should be accountable, rules should be clear,
• 30:00
  Speaker 13: and the system should be accessible to those who rely
• 30:03
  Speaker 13: on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more than a principle.
• 30:07
  Speaker 13: It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 13: afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Clear rules.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: Accountable courts.
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: Equal justice under law.

• 34:46
  Speaker 1: nine days sick, U.S. Senate candidate James Tallarico returned to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the campaign over the weekend. He made public appearances in
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Austin and in Dallas.
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: James Tallarico's in a neck-and-neck race with Ken Paxton for U.S.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Senate.
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: While there's been some speculation on why Tallarico was out...
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: He tells NBC5 it was simply a case of the flu.
• 35:06
  Speaker 26: So I was in bed and, you know, drinking lots
• 35:08
  Speaker 26: of liquids. Unfortunately, the campaign made me work from home,
• 35:11
  Speaker 26: so I didn't even get full days off. But, you know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 26: didn't want to be out on the trail and didn't
• 35:15
  Speaker 26: want to get anyone else sick.
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: Paxton telling Fox News he's surprised Tallarico was away from
• 35:20
  Speaker 11: the campaign, even if it was the flu. Paxton then
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: was asked about trailing Tallarico in the polls. We were
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: behind because we had a three-month runoff, and he had
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: three months to go out to California and New York.
• 35:31
  Speaker 27: And raise his money, which he's been doing.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: He did it just before he disappeared.

  Speaker 11: Early voting for the midterm election gets underway a week
• 35:38

• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Limits Festival on Friday, then a Casey Musgraves concert in
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Dallas on Saturday. He will be part of a CNN
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: town hall from Dallas on Wednesday. Governor Abbott was in
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: North Texas last week where he pointed to the recent
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: trips President Trump has made to the Lone Star State,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: saying having him visit only boosts his reelection.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: For one, he made clear early on that he was
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: going to be in Texas a whole lot.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: This goes back to the springtime.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Second, wherever he shows up, he really causes Republicans and others.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: to be very enthusiastic about going to vote. We always
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: see an increase in the desire of Republicans and others
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: to go vote whenever he shows up.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: This comes after Texas Attorney General and Republican U.S. Senate
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: nominee Ken Paxton said Trump's GOP convention in Dallas last
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: month hurt his campaign. Early voting for the midterms starts

• 38:34
  Speaker 10: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting

• 39:01
  Speaker 7: of rain to speak of. That's kind of gone away.
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: Then tomorrow, more of the same. But by Friday and Saturday, yeah,

• 39:26
  Speaker 1: very light shows. They're just popping up and moving.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: They're screaming.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: South to north. Currently, it looks like up near Curtin
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: is experiencing a small shower.
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: But I mean, really light rain.
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: So a little, a little if you're lucky. And we'll
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: hope you're lucky. More text messages of the times that
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: you failed at repairing something. I like this from Ryan.
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: I spent hours up in the attic installing and wiring
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: can lights.
• 39:52
  Speaker 13: Nice.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Electric, Will. Yeah.
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: Making the gamble.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: After I finished and was walking back, my foot slipped
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: and I fell through the ceiling and caught myself. So
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: many ceiling stories. My wife was on the couch in
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: the living room and asked, what are you doing? To
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: which I just responded, hanging out. I then learned how
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: to do drywall repair. Luckily, I just missed the brand
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: new installed light.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you got that going for you, Ryan.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: Jan, the military taught me that if you're good at something,
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: you'll always be called upon to do that task. Well,
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: guess who is not tasked with loading the dishwasher these days?
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: Question is, Jan, was that intentional or not? That was
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: planned obsolescence. Exactly. Is this just, I don't know, she
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: just likes it a certain way or is this, I'm
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: just going to if I go at about 50% speed,
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: maybe I will be relieved.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Or if I, if I put the plastic on the bottom.
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: You know, I tell you loading a dishwasher is one
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: of those things, right? That you, you have a way
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: you do it. Yeah.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: And everybody else's way is probably not right.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: According to you.
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. There's one, there's always one way.
• 41:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: There's one way to load a dishwasher. The question is
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: what way is that one way? Um, I do want
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: to get to something. So we, I want to, obviously
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: we're creeping up on Halloween season and I am going
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: to just guess that the crowd that, that you guys are,
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: a lot of you are not necessarily going trick or treating.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: Maybe you are, and that's fine, but I'm going to
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: guess we have a predominance of the people that are
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: handing out the candy in this particular.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Audience, which is a great joy.
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: It's awesome, man. It's the best way to spend Halloween. Uh,
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: Nothing is more fun than just loading up. Now, also
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: nothing is more expensive, but nothing is more fun. Now,
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: with that said, what candy do you go with? Because
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: you know you can't just go with all of the
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: good stuff. You have to get some of the.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Well, they don't sell just the good stuff.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: They put it all in a grab bag and you've
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: got maybe two or three of the items in the
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: bag that are good or decent, and then you've got
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: one clinker that's in there.
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Every time.
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: Always, always one. And so what you need to do
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: if you're going to plan this, I've found over the years,
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: what I'll have is all the good stuff, which I'll
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: have Reese's, Snickers, Minis, maybe some full bars, whatever. You
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: have to step on it with trash, like literal trash,
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: like the worst candy. But that's where.
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: The difference between good Halloween house and bad Halloween house
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: is made. Everyone knows where to buy the winners and
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: what to put in there.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I had a house in our neighborhood in Spring Meadows,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: South College Station, that gave out full-size candies.
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: See, that's where it's at.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Everybody knew that one.
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: That's where it's at.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I would keep, and I may be just developing this idea,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and now it's too late because I don't get trick-or-treaters
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: out in the county.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: But I should have, like, the good stuff for the kids...
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: And then you've got the trash stuff for the late
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: teenagers that are coming by just looking for candy.
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: Two bowls?
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, two bowls is a good thing. I can see
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: that strategy. I'm going to give you some options because
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: they came out with what is referred to as the
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: best and worst boomer Halloween candies. Take that however you
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: want to take that. I just am thinking these all
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: could be options. But again, if you're talking about the
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: worst of the worst... You know, these are in there somewhere.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: Strawberry bonbons. Number 10 on the list.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: I liked those, but I never, I don't think I
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: ever got one for a Halloween candy. It was just
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: in the dish at grandma's house.
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: Root beer barrels. You remember those?
• 43:47
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Smarties.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Love some Smarties.
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: Smarties are a great option.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: I get happy. Smarties still hit.
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: Cinnamon discs.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: What the heck is a cinnamon disc?
• 43:57
  Speaker 11: No clue.
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: But again.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: Is that like a peppermint? Is that what they're talking about?
• 44:00
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: Peppermints are different. They miss the list. Starburst. Now, I
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: think that's... I don't know if that's a boomer candy
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: or not. I think that's a little unfair.
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Certainly, it can't be a boomer candy because we can't
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: eat that stuff without our dental apparatus falling out.
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: They were created in 1959. But look, Starburst... buy several
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: bags of starburst that's the perfect thing to break up
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: all the good candy cinnamon jaw breakers oh you skipped
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: me on that oh butterscotch is on here.
• 44:34
  Speaker 28: Too i love a butterscotch a good butterscotch will still
• 44:37
  Speaker 28: the kids will be disappointed and you forgive of course
• 44:39
  Speaker 28: they will and that's what you got to think about
• 44:41
  Speaker 28: like not if you want to buy a bag of
• 44:43
  Speaker 28: butterscotch for you of course we're old you know that
• 44:46
  Speaker 28: makes sense.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: But there'll there'll be one maybe two it might try
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: that for the first time and go oh This is butterscotch.
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: You say that. There's not a kid that's going to,
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: that reaction doesn't happen.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I loved butterscotch as a kid. I did too, but
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: that was back in the day. It's no Reese's Peanut
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Butter Cup, but I loved it.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: Milk duds.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: Yuck. Yuck. I hate milk duds.
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: Laffy Taffy.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: And finally, Werther's Originals.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Look, it's not a Halloween candy, but, you know, that's
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: like a comfort candy. That reminds you of when you
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: wandered into grandpa's office and he had some on his
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: desk or on the coffee table.
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: What maniac is putting Werther's in a Halloween bowl? That's
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: what I want to know. That just sounds.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Although, it'd be great for the bowl two that I
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: was talking about.
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: Bowl number two?
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah. The problem with some of these, they're hard.
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: You can throw those. You don't want to give them
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: essentially a rock, which would come right back at the house.
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: That's a problem.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Probably a good call.
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: Look, if you guys have suggestions, again, and what I
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: would do is, again, give us the worst. The worst
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: Halloween candy. Ask your kids, what's the worst candy? So
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: we know what to stay away from.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: The answer's clear. Candy corn.
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: Back after this, guys.
• 46:01
  Speaker 16: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family,
• 46:03
  Speaker 16: and I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 46:06
  Speaker 16: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family

• 46:43
  Speaker 16: To communicate truth effectively, we must be mindful of two things,
• 46:47
  Speaker 16: what we speak and how we speak it. What we
• 46:50
  Speaker 16: speak is important because truth is important. Only by speaking
• 46:54
  Speaker 16: truth can we build strong marriages, families, and communities. Equally
• 46:58
  Speaker 16: important is how we speak truth.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 47:01
  Speaker 16: Emerson Egrich says people hear truth, but they feel kindness.
• 47:06
  Speaker 16: Nobody will care what we believe if we're yelling, but
• 47:09
  Speaker 16: they might listen to us if we're kind and speak
• 47:11
  Speaker 16: to them with respect. We might even learn a thing
• 47:15
  Speaker 16: or two about them as well. We should always ask
• 47:18
  Speaker 16: ourselves if what we have to say is even necessary.
• 47:22
  Speaker 16: Maybe this moment isn't the right time, place, or circumstance.
• 47:25
  Speaker 16: Patience is the best option. Unless someone is facing imminent danger,
• 47:30
  Speaker 16: we can always decide later if what we have to
• 47:33
  Speaker 16: say is still relevant. Truth shouldn't be a demand. It
• 47:36
  Speaker 16: should be an invitation. Instead of shouting someone down, we
• 47:40
  Speaker 16: should come with a better argument. Instead of insisting that
• 47:44
  Speaker 16: other people agree, we should persuade them to consider a
• 47:47
  Speaker 16: different perspective. And the only way to do that is
• 47:50
  Speaker 16: to offer people truth wrapped in kindness.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: The bottom line is this.
• 47:54
  Speaker 16: Truth isn't communicated through anger and conflict, but through civility
• 47:59
  Speaker 16: and respect. Whether we're speaking the truth about a marriage,
• 48:02
  Speaker 16: a family, or the culture, the goal isn't to win
• 48:05
  Speaker 16: an argument. It's to win a heart. For more to

  Speaker 31: Good morning. I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 49:57
  Speaker 31: on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie volleyball team fell to number 19
• 50:02
  Speaker 31: in the AVCA poll rankings after losing to Oklahoma and
• 50:06
  Speaker 31: Arkansas last week.
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: Despite the losses, this is.
• 50:10
  Speaker 31: The Marin and White's 25th consecutive week ranked within the
• 50:13
  Speaker 31: top 25. Up next, the Aggies are preparing to host
• 50:16
  Speaker 31: the Florida Gators at Reed Arena on Friday night with.
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: First serve set for 6 o'clock.
• 50:22
  Speaker 31: Yesterday afternoon, the SEC announced that Texas A & M
• 50:25
  Speaker 31: football's game at Alabama next Saturday, October 24th, will kick
• 50:29
  Speaker 31: off at 2.30 in the afternoon. This week, though, the
• 50:32
  Speaker 31: Aggies are gearing up to host the Citadel at Kyle
• 50:35
  Speaker 31: Field for their final regular season non-conference game. Head coach
• 50:39
  Speaker 31: Mike Elko spoke about the Aggies' recent loss against Missouri
• 50:42
  Speaker 31: and what he and his team are working on fixing
• 50:44
  Speaker 31: ahead of this Saturday's game.
• 50:46
  Speaker 14: Obviously, I think the thoughts on the game were summed
• 50:49
  Speaker 14: up afterwards. I think the film reflected it in thought. offensively,
• 50:52
  Speaker 14: we just weren't really creating enough to create any kind
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: of momentum, any kind of flow in the game. The
• 50:58
  Speaker 14: failures were at every level that we struggled up front
• 51:01
  Speaker 14: handling them. We couldn't get the run game established and
• 51:04
  Speaker 14: we couldn't get anything going in the throw game. And
• 51:06
  Speaker 14: so obviously it's a go back to the drawing board
• 51:08
  Speaker 14: moment again. And again, I know words are what they are,
• 51:11
  Speaker 14: but we've got to find ways to get more creative
• 51:14
  Speaker 14: and we've got to find ways to be able to
• 51:16
  Speaker 14: move the ball efficiently. defensively I thought we held up
• 51:19
  Speaker 14: for a large chunk of the game playing at a
• 51:22
  Speaker 14: level that could have won us the game but then
• 51:24
  Speaker 14: I think some breakdowns in the second half ultimately allowed
• 51:27
  Speaker 14: the game to get out of hand and we're just
• 51:28
  Speaker 14: not built to play from behind right now and so
• 51:31
  Speaker 14: we've got to turn the page we've got to move
• 51:32
  Speaker 14: forward and you know like I told the team this
• 51:34
  Speaker 14: morning we're in a situation where we have to improve
• 51:37
  Speaker 14: and we have to get better and I think there's
• 51:39
  Speaker 14: a tremendous amount of fight in our building in our
• 51:41
  Speaker 14: coaching staff and in our players to do that but
• 51:44
  Speaker 14: we've got to go do it.
• 51:45
  Speaker 31: Kickoff for this Saturday's game is set for noon. Yesterday afternoon,
• 51:50
  Speaker 31: the SEC announced that A & M men's basketball newcomer P.J.
• 51:54
  Speaker 31: Haggerty was selected to the preseason All-SEC third team. Haggerty
• 51:58
  Speaker 31: came to Aggieland after spending the 2025-2026 season at Kansas State,
• 52:04
  Speaker 31: where he started all 31 games he appeared in. And
• 52:07
  Speaker 31: ranked fourth nationally and second in the Big 12, averaging
• 52:10
  Speaker 31: 23 points per game, Haggerty met with the media to
• 52:13
  Speaker 31: talk about what he brings to the table for the
• 52:15
  Speaker 31: Aggies and what the team is looking like ahead of
• 52:18
  Speaker 31: the start of the season.
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: How would I describe my game?
• 52:21
  Speaker 27: I would say three-level score. I can score at all levels,
• 52:24
  Speaker 27: I would say, but get my teammates involved, get to
• 52:26
  Speaker 27: the paint, make plays for my other teammates, and just
• 52:29
  Speaker 27: being a leader, trying to win. I mean, I control
• 52:31
  Speaker 27: the pace of the game, get my teammates involved, got
• 52:34
  Speaker 27: a lot of shooters I can hit, big man I
• 52:36
  Speaker 27: can double it off to, so it's been, got to
• 52:38
  Speaker 27: fit pretty good.
• 52:39
  Speaker 31: The Marin and White's first exhibition game of the season

  Speaker 32: Howdy, Don Hatcher, owner of AirServe of Aggieland with your
• 53:01
  Speaker 32: HVAC Tech Tip. When's the last time you changed your
• 53:04
  Speaker 32: air filter? A clogged filter restricts airflow, makes your system
• 53:07
  Speaker 32: work harder, and drives up your energy bill, all while
• 53:10
  Speaker 32: circulating dust and allergens through your home. Most filters need
• 53:13
  Speaker 32: to be changed every one to three months. It's one
• 53:15
  Speaker 32: of the simplest things you can do to protect your system.
• 53:18
