  Speaker 1: campaign push for James Tallarico. He'll be making an appearance
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: at Aggie Park on the A & M campus. Yesterday
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: on the A & M campus, the Trump administration advanced
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the country's nuclear agenda. The U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: James Danley announced that the Department of Energy is awarding
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a $ 5. 4 million grant to TEAS, the Texas A &

• 1:27
  Speaker 1: people are facing felony drug charges after police found PCP

  Speaker 1: during a traffic stop. 30-year-old Anteria Jackson was pulled over
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: around 12.30 a.m. Tuesday morning near Welborn Road in Villa
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Maria after failing to signal and failure to come to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a complete stop. While being arrested for driving without a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: valid license, Jackson was found with approximately 33 grams of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: liquid PCP and charged with possession of a controlled substance.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: She is free on $ 20, 000 bond. It was her 15th
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: booking in the Brazos County Jail. The passenger, 45-year-old Raymond Jackson,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: was shown to have three active warrants out of Williamson
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: County for driving while intoxicated, driving with an invalid license,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and possession of marijuana. Officers say he resisted as they
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: tried to take him into custody on the warrants. He
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: was then charged with evading arrest and resisting arrest. The
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Brazos County Republican Party recently issued a resolution of condemnation
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: against Brian Mayor pro tem James Edge. This comes after
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Edge publicly endorsed the Democratic Party candidate for United States Senate,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: James Tallarico. They say he subverted and hijacked our party's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: name for his own political goals. This specifically is rejected
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: by the Brazos County Republican Party. The title of Republican
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: belongs to the members thereof and is not to be
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: used to manipulate or confuse the public. A man called
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: police after he was pistol whipped by his drug dealer.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Bryan Police received a call for a disturbance involving a
• 2:57

  Speaker 1: his debt. Officers found a loaded handgun in Sanchez Marquez's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: vehicle that had the serial number etched off. They also
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: found marijuana, THC, vape cartridges, cocaine, and 32 capsules of

• 3:29
  Speaker 1: possession of a dangerous drug, possession of a controlled substance,

• 4:32
  Speaker 3: love a nice weekend coming up where the temperature is
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: just going to be hovering around at warmest low 80s.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: We're getting up to maybe 78 today and chances of
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: rain today and tonight about 30 to 40% chance of showers. Tomorrow,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: low 80s. Sunday, low 80s. And then the cool down
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: coming this Tuesday. Weather brought to you by our friends
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: at Malick. Be prepared for the next power outage with
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Malik Service Company, a home backup generated from Generac. Call
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Malik to schedule your appointment today. What I love about
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: this show that we do here is we can go
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: from discussing Hellraiser and Event Horizon and horror movies and
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: then take a five-minute break and immediately be joined by
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Fred McClure from Texas A & M University. It makes
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: no sense.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know Fred, right, class of 76, right?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Former assistant to then-president George H.W. Bush, now Texas A
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: & M' s chief community engagement officer, which sounds like a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: great time. That sounds like a great job.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: It depends. It depends upon the definition of community and
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: how much one wants to engage.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: That's a very, yeah, very good point.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: It's a great opportunity for me to to represent our
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: university and the communities where we serve and touch lives.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Fred is also the narrator for this project that we're
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: about to talk about.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, he is, which is, I mean, number one, as
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: people that work in the audio medium, there is not
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: probably a better choice in the Texas A & M
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: stable of people to narrate.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you were going to outside the family,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I'd throw my name in the hat.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: We're saying you have a great voice, but in addition
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: to that, the... Yeah, you've touched it. Graduated in 1976,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: class 76. You have touched so many parts of the
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M University community system, everything like that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You've been here for years where it has gone from
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: back when it was in the 70s, which I don't
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: remember that, but I remember the 80s. And it is
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: a completely different organization in terms of size and scope
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: and everything than it was. So you got to see.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: A lot of the changes that have happened to the university.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: What is it like looking back on it now as
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: opposed to when you came into A & M back
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: in the day?
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, there's a great deal of growth.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: And when I was here, we actually doubled in size
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: during the years that I was in school.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: They started letting in women about six or ten years
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: before that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Yes, and that number was growing rapidly in terms of
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: a percentage. But it still wasn't heavy in the 70s.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: But there were a lot of firsts in terms of
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: women in the band or women in the Corps of Cadets,
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: and there were big changes going on in that sense.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: But I was here, we grew up to 28,000, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: now we're at 83,000.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely crazy.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: That's pretty huge.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Tell us about this project. It's Texas A & M University,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: 150 years of impact.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Well, one of the things about it is that I
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: was here when we celebrated the 100 years of impact.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: And we didn't quite call it impact, but that was
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: what it was like back when we celebrated the centennial
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: 50 years ago. So it's really neat. I was on
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: the same committee for planning and steering 50 years ago
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: that I have been for planning and steering for this project.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: I think there's only one other guy around that's still
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: in town. Still remembers those days. But it's exciting for
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: me in that standpoint. And so To be able to
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: be here and celebrate this 150 is exciting. And that's
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: why this project has been so much fun. The folks
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: at KMU have put together this six or are putting
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: together this six part documentary series, which we will be
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: releasing monthly. We're going to take December and January off.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Our next episode will be released on November 19th. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: talking about the narration part, I'm cheap. That's the reason.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: That's the reason.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: I end up having a chance.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I feel like you could fix that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Not in my current employment. But anyway, we're excited about it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: This last episode, the first episode that aired last night,
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: which is now on all of our social media channels
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: and YouTube and all that kind of stuff, talks about
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: answering a call. And it's what the folks do at
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: the system that a lot of people don't know about,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: which is When something happens, it hits the fan, for example,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: is there going to be somebody there to respond?
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Whether it's floods, pandemics, whether it's a fire and what
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: the various parts of Texas A & M University do
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: to contribute and prepare folks for those moments.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch this episode.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I've actually had this on my list. I'm also very
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: excited to see it, but I think.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: You will particularly enjoy this. Right here on the title
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: page of it is my friend Christy Borman.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: One of her canines and on the rubble piles over
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: there at Disaster City. You're interviewing in this appearing in
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this episode, Jeff Saunders, who's a good friend of mine,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: director of Texas A & M Task Force One.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Some good people. Alex Brindley from the veterinary emergency team
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: who we've talked to in the past before. Some really
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: incredible things going on that. And it's not just the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground people. It is also those folks
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: from the Bush School. former chief information officer of the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Department of Defense and the School of Public Health. And
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, CIA director and former
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M president. This is an incredible lineup
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: of people who are from the boots on the ground
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to the 30,000-foot view.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: This is one of the things I think is really
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: unique about Texas A & M University in general. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: this– I'm going to go back about to the 30,000-feet
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: view because since we all live here and we all
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: work here, you get into a rhythm with A &
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: M and you forget– How much of this type of
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: material there is of where, again, you're talking about answering
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the call, take it all the way back to Rudder
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: climbing the cliffs on D-Day, Aggies going and fighting in
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: foreign wars when it was essentially a military event. But
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: if you keep on moving forward, yeah, you've got things
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: that have happened that unless you see them all listed,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: it kind of just blends in. But when you are
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: presented with all of these organizations, all of these programs,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: all of these individuals who have stepped up to serve
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: coming out of their relationship with Texas A & M,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: it is... shocking the amount of names and things that
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: you will remember that were incredibly nationally and globally impactful
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that are referenced in these.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: So what we're trying to do in the film is
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: to be able to show our meeting the commitments of teaching, discovery,
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: and also service through the eyes of the people who
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: actually do it. And that goes to what you guys
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: are talking about in terms of identifying people and telling
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: the story of A & M' s impact through the eyes
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: of the people who actually do the work, some people
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: that you've never heard of before. And that's what we
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: hope to explore in this series going until May.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be. I mean, I cannot
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: wait to see each of these episodes. I know, obviously,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: the first one. They're going to be on KAMU if
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: you want to watch them on TV. Where can they
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: find them if they're online, or are they going to
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: be online?
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can get them on our YouTube channel.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Or go through the PBS app.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch this first episode. It's going
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to be this weekend.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Thank you so much for coming in, man.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Anything else we want to get to today?
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: That's it, guys. I just encourage folks to watch. One
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: of the great things about this, it's been a great
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: collaboration with our folks in the performance and video and
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: fine arts school because a student is involved in the
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: production of each and every one of these episodes.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Yes. And then on top of that, our biz lab.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: is involved in terms of doing the backgrounds from their LED,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: like big cinematography.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Kind of thing. It's amazing what comes up, the quality
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of stuff that is coming out of A & M now.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: And I do want to shout out Kelly Brown and
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Jay Sokol, who are two of the... finest people in
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: media that I have ever had the.

  Speaker 1: Opportunity of working with. And we're very grateful to call
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: them friends.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, this really is a very exciting project,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: and we can't wait to see what the.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Results of it are.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Thank you guys for having me this morning.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Hey, thank you for being here. We'll take a break.
• 13:20

• 13:24
  Speaker 6: County Commissioner in Precinct 4. I'm a Marine veteran, a
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Purple Heart recipient, and I serve veterans and our local
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: community every day at the VFW because service doesn't stop
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: when the uniform comes off. I want to bring that
• 13:34

• 13:56
  Speaker 11: If you deny your child's gender identity, that's incredibly harmful.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: It's abusive.
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: He didn't just say it. He has voted for it
• 14:03
  Speaker 10: to be classified as abuse. And that means they can
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: call CPS on you if you don't transition your kids.
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: There's only one person who can determine a child's gender identity,

  Speaker 8: Texas Congressman John Bryan The 1983 sponsored legislation that would
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: have set up 10 wilderness areas, but the bill went
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: nowhere until Congressman Charles Wilson agreed to a compromise of
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: five wilderness areas made possible by the willingness of lumber
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: giant Temple Eastex to trade some of its land for
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: some forest service land. Ronald Reagan signed a bill adding 1,200

  Speaker 20: October 24th. Oil major BP smashed third quarter expectations as
• 20:04
  Speaker 20: volatile energy markets and high refining margins saw profits nearly
• 20:08
  Speaker 20: quadruple year on year. The company reported $ 8. 5 billion in

  Speaker 20: underlying replacement cost profit that was above the nearly $ 6. 2

  Speaker 20: a sharp change for a site long known for letting

  Speaker 20: people browse without an account. The company also beat third
• 20:29
  Speaker 20: quarter earnings and revenue estimates, but its fourth quarter sales
• 20:32
  Speaker 20: forecast fell short of Wall Street expectations. Futures are falling

  Speaker 3: fire I used to have.
• 20:52
  Speaker 21: Think it could be lower testosterone?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 20:53
  Speaker 21: I was feeling the same way. After 40, the body
• 20:55
  Speaker 21: has less testosterone, and men lose their edge. That's why
• 20:57
  Speaker 21: I take Nugenics Total T2.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: That's the testosterone booster, right?

  Speaker 3: How we doing?
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: So we're going to talk. We're going to revisit a
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: topic we've talked about a few times on the show.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: But there have been some developments. Those developments are they've
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: had a lot of chance to get public comment. That
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: would be the Harvey Road Project and trying to figure
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: out how to I don't want to say modernize. It's
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: not really the right word. But improve and also prepare
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: for the future. And so you have been intimately involved
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: with this project, I know. So where are we at
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: right now?
• 34:17
  Speaker 29: Yeah, so we launched the Harvey District planning process a
• 34:21
  Speaker 29: few months ago. We were here to talk to you
• 34:23
  Speaker 29: guys a little bit about, you know, wanting to get
• 34:27
  Speaker 29: the community's input on what they envision for the Harvey District.
• 34:31
  Speaker 29: That area is between generally Texas Avenue and the highway
• 34:36
  Speaker 29: and between Dominick Drive and Holloman Drive. And since about June,
• 34:40
  Speaker 29: we've been asking people what they want that area to
• 34:43
  Speaker 29: look like in the you know, in the future, 20
• 34:46
  Speaker 29: years from now. And so that's what we've been up to,
• 34:50
  Speaker 29: talking to a lot of people, hosting workshops, open houses,
• 34:54
  Speaker 29: focus groups, doing surveys. And so now that we have
• 34:58
  Speaker 29: an idea of kind of what people value, we are
• 35:01
  Speaker 29: going to be doing a workshop in November to explore
• 35:06
  Speaker 29: what different futures could look like. So we're calling it
• 35:09
  Speaker 29: a scenarios workshop where people can come and see different
• 35:13
  Speaker 29: examples of how the area might change over the next
• 35:16
  Speaker 29: couple of weeks.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about the workshop first. When, where, all
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: of that stuff.
• 35:20
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 35:21
  Speaker 29: So the workshop's going to be on Wednesday, November 18th
• 35:24
  Speaker 29: from 6 to 8 p.m. at Visit College Station. That's
• 35:28
  Speaker 29: 1207 Texas Avenue next to City Hall.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 35:31
  Speaker 30: All right.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Now, let's talk about in between today and the last
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: time I talked to you. What have you heard from
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: people about what their priorities are and what they care
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: about when it comes to this corridor?
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 29: Yeah, so we've seen a few different themes. So one
• 35:47
  Speaker 29: has been on, you know, continuing to support local businesses.
• 35:52
  Speaker 29: There are a lot of small business, local businesses that
• 35:56
  Speaker 29: are really reliant on the area. And so a lot
• 36:01
  Speaker 29: of people want to continue to support those businesses. We've
• 36:05
  Speaker 29: seen a lot of discussion around improvement to appearances. So
• 36:10
  Speaker 29: there are some areas that maybe look a little more
• 36:12
  Speaker 29: run down because they were developed in the 70s and 80s.
• 36:15
  Speaker 29: And so people see an opportunity to kind of– liven
• 36:21
  Speaker 29: up the the look yeah so that's been a big
• 36:24
  Speaker 29: one um and then we've also seen um you know
• 36:27
  Speaker 29: desires for better connectivity so bike paths uh sidewalks how
• 36:32
  Speaker 29: to make mobility more accessible.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: How how difficult is it when you talk about the
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: connectivity side of it um because again i know i
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: mean when they when we originally dealt with harvey road
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: there was not I mean, you can look at it
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: and see that it was just like any other road
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: in College Station. Apartments going right up to the side
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: And it was.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Not really envisioned that this was going to be a
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: major thoroughfare between the city and 6th.
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: And it is a big road.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: And it's a massive road. Where would you add the
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: sidewalks in a situation like that? And how do you
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: go about... trying to get enough space to put some
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: of those features in.
• 37:16
  Speaker 29: Well, so in some cases, we're lucky to be able
• 37:19
  Speaker 29: to partner with people like TxDOT. So TxDOT is kind
• 37:24
  Speaker 29: of the major overseer of the actual Harvey Road. That's
• 37:29
  Speaker 29: TxDOT jurisdiction. So they're the ones that, you know, really
• 37:34
  Speaker 29: maintain that road. So they are putting in a shared
• 37:37
  Speaker 29: use path along the road. I believe it's the north side.
• 37:41
  Speaker 29: And that's a big win for us. But outside of the,
• 37:45
  Speaker 29: you know, text dot jurisdiction roads, we tend to focus
• 37:49
  Speaker 29: on those that are maintained by the city. So we
• 37:51
  Speaker 29: identify those areas that connect to Harvey Road and really
• 37:54
  Speaker 29: focus on those.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: OK. OK. Yeah.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: It's going to be interesting to see how the. what
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: you can do because again, I, it's amazing that a
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: lot of those apartment complexes, frankly, still there.
• 38:06
  Speaker 31: Right.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: And, uh, and you know, what, what are the options
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: available to maybe do some beautification there, some beautification, some.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Other places, a lot of retail that needs some work, a.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Lot of retail could use a brush up and a
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: lot of successful retail too. Like you've got, like I was,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: where was I at the other day? I was at, uh, uh,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: right around, uh, I guess Wally's. And you realize that
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Wally's does a pretty good amount of traffic. and it
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: still has Toys R Us signage above the doors, which
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: is crazy. So yeah, there's some stuff that could be
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: pretty cool. So the next stage, you'll present some material,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: and then what comes after that?
• 38:40
  Speaker 29: So after we present the different alternative scenarios for the future,
• 38:45
  Speaker 29: we'll get the community's kind of preference on how they lean,
• 38:50
  Speaker 29: which they like the most, and then we'll develop kind
• 38:52
  Speaker 29: of a selected scenario scenario to kind of aim for.
• 38:56
  Speaker 29: And then from that, we will actually draft the plan,
• 39:01
  Speaker 29: recommendations of how to actually achieve that vision in 20 years.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Very, very cool. Where can people find out more about
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: this online?
• 39:12
  Speaker 29: You can go to the project webpage. It's www.cstx.gov slash

• 39:22
  Speaker 29: No, I think that's about it.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Are those Burberry glasses that you have there?
• 39:27
  Speaker 32: Is that, I mean- You think I know that?
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Well, Heather would. Heather, evaluate his glasses. That's the Burberry
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: plaid that's on the side, isn't it?
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: They're 100% Burberry.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: How do you not know that they're Burberry glasses? That's
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: a brand, my friend.
• 39:45
  Speaker 32: That's like asking me if I know the brand of
• 39:46
  Speaker 32: my shirt.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't know, Colin. He's a natural fashionista. He just
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: picked those up because they looked good. I'm a real man.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I don't concern myself with those things. And then you
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: accidentally stumbled into Stylish.

  Speaker 3: 1620, 945 WTAW. Getting up to the 80s. No, not
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: even the 80s. That's tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll see low 80s today,

• 48:03
  Speaker 3: And enjoy it while it lasts, because we're going to
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: get real crispy starting Tuesday.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Well, crispy from a freeze-dried perspective.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. I spoke to a Canadian yesterday.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Did you?
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: I haven't gotten a chance to tell you about this. Oh,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: and how did that go for you? Oh, she was lovely,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: like all Canadians. And it was a Zoom call. We
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: were doing something, and she was like, well, you're in Texas, eh? Yeah, yeah, Texas.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: And she's like, yeah, we haven't gotten down to zero yet.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: So it's like, oh, that's right. It's... There is real fall,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: and then some places skip it and go straight to
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: winter hellscape.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Which would be our neighbors to the north. Let's talk Halloween.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: It is Halloween weekend. I feel like we should all
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: be on the same page when it comes to this already.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: There's a couple of things we need to get to.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we kind of talked about our Halloween plans as
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: we age.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: We're too old for Northgate. So what are you going
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: What are you going to do?
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Well, If you are trick-or-treating... Oh, Lord. And if you
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: are of a particular age.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Here's some ways to know that you might be too
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: old for it.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: If your pirate beard is real, you might be too.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Old to trick-or-treat. You know what? That is a great,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: great way to look at it.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: That's right. If you skip houses... giving milk duds out
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: because they're hell on your dentures, you might be too
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: old to go trick-or-treating. If you trip on someone's pumpkin
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: and shatter a hip, you might be too old for trick-or-treating.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: If you head home at 5 p.m. because, hey, It's
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: dinner time.
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: Duh.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: You might be too old for trick-or-treating.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: I just a smidge.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: If you get home and your grandkids steal all of
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: your peanut butter cups, you might be too.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Old for it. You know, you're only as old as
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: you feel.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: If people compliment your Dumbledore costume, but you're not wearing
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: a costume, it's a sure sign, right? And finally, instead
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: of saying, oh, scary, when adults see you at the door,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: they say, don't I know you from work?
• 50:03
  Speaker 20: Ha ha ha ha.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Those are the sure signs.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: You're only as young as you feel, Will. If you
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: want to get out there and, you know, Dumbledore it up.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Ah, so Warren Savant, Little Werewolves of London, baby.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: One of my favorite Halloween songs. It's technically not really
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: a Halloween song. It's not. It really bugs me when
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: people hear the hook of this and they bring, oh,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: why are you playing Kid Rock? Like, son, there is
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: a song.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: There's a whole library of Warren Savant stuff that has
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: influenced everything you're listening to.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about the other thing we'll need to do,
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: and that is survive the time change.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, yes.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: How a weekend. Not only do we have all the
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: fun happening Saturday night, but when you wake up on
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Sunday morning, it's going to be a completely different time.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: a completely different place, and it's not fun.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Experts recommend that you don't try to stay up and
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: take advantage of the extra hour.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, the extra hour is not for you to enjoy.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I can tell you from personal experience, from the wayward
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: ways of my youth, that, yeah, that's true, man. Take
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: that extra hour and use it.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: To get a little rest. And sleep.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Because you're going to wake up a lot earlier than
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: what you think you're waking up.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: You absolutely are. Also, they say have your kids eat
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: a meal before they go trick-or-treating, and the reason is
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: otherwise they fill up on candy, and then it turns
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: into candy chaos, and they can't go to sleep, and
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: it makes things.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Worse for you. Yeah, and if you're an adult, have
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: a cocktail for the same reasons because somebody's going to
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: be passing out jello shots in the neighborhood.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: Here's the best advice. Start the transition tonight. The clock
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: doesn't actually change until Sunday morning, but if you start
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: shifting your bedtime by 20 minutes, just kind of inch
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: your way up. It might make it a little more pleasant.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Or a little less miserable.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Makes complete sense. I have nobody that I can name
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: that's actually going to do that.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Everyone says they will. No one ever does it. No
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: one ever does it. But yeah, apparently that.
• 51:58
  Speaker 17: And you know why?
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: Because it doesn't really matter. Because half of this is
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: the fact you're going to be getting off work at work. 4.30
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: or 5 on Monday morning, and it's.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Going to be dark already. Yeah, that's the most depressing thing.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: And forget about the trauma to your biological clock.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: It's just the depression.
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: It's the seasonal depression that'll get you. So what we're
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: all going to do is we're going to stick together.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: Because we're going to get through Halloween, and then we're
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: going to have the time change that's going to make
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: that worse, and then we're going to have Election Day
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday. But after that.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: After that, if you survive.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: After that, Thanksgiving is on the way.
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: And we will be ready for some turkey and sides.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: You know it. Have a great weekend, guys.
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: We're 1620.
