  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. The
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Bryan City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: at tonight's council meeting on the proposed tax rate of 0.624
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: cents per $ 100 valuation. The meeting is slated to start
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: at 5.30 inside council chambers. Bond has been updated for
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a teenager who discharged a firearm Saturday night at a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Northgate bar. 19-year-old Trey Wheeler was originally being held on $ 20, 000 bond,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: while some charges that had bond amounts were not set
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: until Monday morning. Other amounts that were set previously were
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: also increased. Wheeler is now being held on $ 145, 000 bond
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on the eight counts he is facing. A man was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: arrested early Monday after running over a man outside a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Bryan's Sports Bar. Bryan Police received reports of a hit
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and run involving a vehicle and a pedestrian at the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: El Centario Sports Bar in the 1200 block of West
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: William J. Bryan Parkway just after 2 o'clock Monday morning.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: The victim had been in a fight with two men.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Those men, 27-year-old Alex Gaten and 30-year-old John Gaten III,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: both of Bryan, headed to their pickup to leave. The
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: victim then chased them down and punched the passenger window
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of their truck. The driver, Alex Gaten, put his truck
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: into reverse where the victim was knocked to the ground
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: by the side view mirror, then run over. Gaten then
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: drove forward, running over the victim a second time before
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: fleeing the scene. The victim's arm and leg were run over,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and he was transported to St. Joseph's Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Video from a nearby business confirmed the events. The men
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: were located about 20 minutes later in the 6400 block
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of Old Spanish Trail. Alex Gaten was arrested for collision
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: involving serious bodily injury. He was released on $ 15, 000 bond.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: A North Texas man has been arrested after sending threatening
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: messages to James Tallarico.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Investigators say Billy James McFatridge of Fort Worth sent several
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: threats to campaign accounts for state representative and U.S. Senate
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: candidate James Tallarico through email and Instagram. In one of them,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: they say he threatened to slit Tallarico's throat and drag
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: his body through the street. Staffers for the campaign reported
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the messages to the DPS. Their investigators say they traced
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the email and social media accounts back to McFatridge. They
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: questioned him and say he told them he only intended
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to scare Tallarico. He was arrested last week on charges
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of making terroristic threats against a public servant. That is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a Class A misdemeanor. Stephen Pickering, TSN News.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Starting this morning, the right lane of Texas Avenue southbound
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: will be closed between 26th and 28th streets as the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: county remodels the Brazos County Administration Building. Closures are expected
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to last through the end of the year. Are you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: ready for President Ted Cruz?
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: The Texas senator is making it painfully clear that he
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: is running again. Experts say there is a path to
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: victory if he runs a Trump-adjacent campaign. That means backing
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: some of the president's plans but dismissing others. He's going
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to get into the 100% Trump lane, well, that's getting
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to be a pretty crowded place. Texas GOP strategist Vinny
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Manchello says the president has not hinted at who he
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: will endorse.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It'll likely be either J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: But in the year 2028, we don't know how much
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that endorsement will mean.
• 3:12

  Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. We're the Infomaniacs. It is not Monday.
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: It is Tuesday. But what does it matter to you?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: You can't miss a Monday. You can't miss a Monday.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Just go into the day expecting it to be the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Monday-est Tuesday you've ever had.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: Weather today, 97 for your high, 107 for feels like.
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: Down to 76 tonight. Back up to the mid to
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: upper 90s tomorrow. Weather's brought to you by Malik's Service

• 5:37
  Speaker 1: by the way, about it being the Mondayest Tuesday you've
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: ever had. You can handle Monday. You got this.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: Not a problem.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: We got you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. We were talking earlier about H-E-B music, grocery store music.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the crazy things you hear.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: Those loops of music. Yeah, that just stick with you.
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: They jump out at you sometimes for both reasons. Maybe
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: it's really good. Maybe it's really just hot.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had heard some Black Sabbath and then
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: had listened to her text in talking about Sweet Child
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of Mine she had picked up in Kroger.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: So they lean on Cher entirely too much with Believe.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Cher.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Believe apparently is one they think is somehow.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It's pretty innocuous.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: They call it a worm. Will, when one song gets
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: in the scheduling software and then appears more and more
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: and more in outsized amounts, and I suspect that might
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: have something to do with it because they claim that
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: this is basically off of a stream that's not HEB property,
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: but the store gets to choose.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It gets to choose the channel. I was thinking to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: myself about this as we were talking about it, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: since then, I've heard a significant amount of Tom Petty
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: In grocery stores. A lot of Tom Petty.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: Tom Petty's a great one to throw in.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Well, when I was programming rock radio, I had a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: theory that you can't go wrong with Tom Petty. Nobody
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: hates Tom Petty enough to change the station.
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: That's the bottom line, is are they going to turn
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: the channel?
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: No.
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: And yeah, it's like in country music, I always said,
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: and some people will disagree, believe it or not, some
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: people will disagree with you on this, that if you play...
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: George Strait in Texas, it's the same thing. When in doubt,
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: play another George Strait song. And not any song, but
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: he's got 50 number ones. So take the most successful 10,
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: and whenever you need a song that's like, I don't
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: know about that one, George Strait.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Answer is always George Strait.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: But I just played a George Strait.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: 15 minutes ago. Doesn't matter.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: That is made up and in your head, radio programmer.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: Play another George Strait song. Some people will disagree with
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: you on that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You can even sometimes go George three straight.
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: Yes, you can. You can do a three pack of
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: it and you'll be just fine. And again, similar to
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: what you're saying with Tom Petty. But I noticed because
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: I started digging into this.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have all kinds of curiosity.
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: And we found the the allegedly and this comes from
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: a Reddit thread that's a couple of years old. So
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: maybe that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And we understand Reddit is filth.
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: At one time, they used Mood Media. It's a product
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: of Muzak, right? And it has a million channels. And
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: they even list some of the channels that the individual
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: HEB people kind of ratting their stores, saying, hey, they
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: use the 90s channel. One person said they use Country
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: Music 1. But I'm scrolling through, and it turns out
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: this service... offers holidays and happenings streams. Streams that are
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: just for a certain time. So America 250th had a stream.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: Summer fun, like summer hits. That's a great one to use.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Of course, yeah. Yacht Rock.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: Forever Dolly is a stream that you can choose if
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: you so desired to be in your place of business.
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: And I will tell you, some of the songs that
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: are on this particular stream now weirdly enough the chicks
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: end up here long time gone ends up and i
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: don't know how that happened maybe they forgot to classify
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: it correctly but drives me crazy islands in the stream
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: why'd you come in here looking like that getting happy
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: please don't stop loving me a duet for take me
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: home country roads with ronda vincent dolly pardon and cody
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: johnson wow jolene obviously in there quite a bit some
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: of the others What would it take, H-E-B? What would
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: it take?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It's not just H-E-B.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, it could be Kroger. Yeah, if you have access.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: If you subscribe to this service.
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: To Mood Media.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Why weren't you topical? Why didn't you realize the minute
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that you heard that Dolly had passed away? This is
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: an incredible thing. Why were you not selecting this?
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, what would it take to get you guys to
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: put Forever Dolly on as your option? for store music?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe on September 25th, 925. That's right. Suppose it's Dolly Day.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe all of these businesses should flip too. You missed
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: out on your first opportunity.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: Forever Dolly. Just saying. I think it's an option. And
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: if you have the clout... as a business owner, to
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: be able to pull this off, please. If you want
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: more information, call us. Just call us.
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: 979-695-1620.
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: We will walk you through this or text us. We'll
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: get down to business.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jennifer has texted in, I was shopping for clothes
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and heard Judas Priest. The tones of Rob Halford, that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: causes me to want to buy clothing.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: See, that's one of those that I would just stop
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: and look up at the speaker. What is happening here?
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: Almost walked out of H-E-B in Brenham after hearing two,
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: count them, two songs from Wham! in a 27-minute shopping jaunt.
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: That's a little much.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Well, timing's important here. I mean, that is a little much.
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: We're going to get into the weeds a little bit
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: on philosophy, but there's something called artist separation.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but could it have been Christmas season and maybe
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: they were adding additional songs to the playlist?
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: And is Wham different than George Michael? That is another question.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: Wham is Wham.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It all depends on how you categorize it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: But if you play Freedom... A couple of songs later,
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: does that blow up your spot? And apparently for Frank,
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: it almost did.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you do reach a limit on George Michael.
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: Very quickly, honestly. Chase, who can't wait until they start
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: playing Christmas music? H-E-B has an elite Christmas playlist.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: They can have the best playlist in the world.
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: It's insane.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: If they start playing it before Thanksgiving, my blood pressure
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: will go up.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: That is a triggering event.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Let Thanksgiving stand alone.
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: They're very, very, very aware, I would think. I don't know.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: There's a lot. I mean, hey, the radio stations sometimes
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: these days are flipping before Thanksgiving.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: There's a radio station that flipped last week.
• 12:04
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, starting in the summer now for Christmas music. Because
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: radios become a real freak show. in the format side
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: of things, because you got to, you got to do
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: a lot to get people's attention. All right.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: And did they decide, maybe there'll be some people that
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: really want to listen to Chris.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: For the longest time. There was, there was this push.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was earlier and earlier and earlier.
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Flip it first.
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, and problems.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Let Thanksgiving be Thanksgiving.
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: There are consequences to these actions, guys. People get upset.
• 12:35

• 15:29
  Speaker 8: music thing, Jason says, your mention of George Michael reminded
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: me of a stocking stuffer that I received back in
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: high school in the 1980s. My mom stuffed a Faith
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: cassette in my stocking. I believe she thought he was
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: a Christian artist.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Mom's made lots of mistakes. It was all, you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: my mom was like one of the founding members of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the parents music resource council with Tipper Gore. Wait, wait, What?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: The people that slap stickers on all the albums.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: How is your mom on the Parents.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Music Resource Council? She was a family life specialist with
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the extension service here, and her specialty was early childhood development.
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: She was the person? Your mom invented?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: She didn't invent that. She just, you know, was on
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the panel, right?
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Yo, that's pretty close to inventing the explicit content sticker, Will.
• 16:18
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: That's kind of a big moment in pop culture.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty big.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: Your mom did that?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: She was part of that, yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: My mind is absolutely blown.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: I had no idea. So I assume, musically in your house,
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: you grew up pretty... I grew up... So I've always
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: been drawn to music. You had guardrails thrown up.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: There was nothing there in my early childhood. I would
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: go through my parents' record albums, and I remember there
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: were three or four I would pull out.
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: The Kingston Trio's Greatest Hits.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, Whipped Cream and Other Delights,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. Beatles a little spicy.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: A little spicy. For that household, I'll tell you. Yeah,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: but they didn't listen to music much. No, really? And
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: so I would pull those out and put them on
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the turntable. Yeah. And that was the music I had
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: growing up until I got a couple of gift albums
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: from family and that sort of thing. I'm sure I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: bought some tapes. Everybody had Michael Jackson's Thriller. You know,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: back in the day. But then, you know, when CDs
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: came out, I'll remember the first two CDs I ever
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: bought was Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: Not bad.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And the same day. And this was a little shop
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: over by Triangle Bowl that was like in an abandoned
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: apartment or something. Just crazy.
• 17:38
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: And the other one was, believe it or not, Tucker,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: was the Indigo Girls, Closer to Fine.
• 17:44
  Speaker 20: Okay.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Did you ever bring home an album that mom didn't like?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm certain of it. I'm certain of it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: Does one jump out at you? One where you got caught?
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: This is actually a question for the rest of you guys, too.
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: I don't know if this is... I suspect it's not
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: as common, so I'm not going to feel bad if
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: no one had this experience. But I also grew up
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: in a very similar environment to you where if your
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: parents caught you, With music.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: You talked the other day, even when you went to school,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: if you had the wrong album, you'd toss it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you'd end up getting, the only suspension I ever
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: got in school was because I had a Metallica album.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't recall her coming in and saying, you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you can't listen to that. And by the time I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: was in high school, my music, you know. the stuff
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I listened to was, was, was current and all the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: way back to the doors. Okay. So, I mean, it
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was pretty, yeah. An iron butterfly.
• 18:41
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But no, there wasn't a lot of it. Cause I
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: never really got into, I mean, gangster rap was kind
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: of after I was later years.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: Gangster rap was my jam for a while. I definitely
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: got in trouble.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So it was kind of out of the house.
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: I got in trouble at home for a couple of
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: Tupac records, uh, bone thugs and harmony.
• 19:02
  Speaker 22: He did.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: It's, obscure no one knows who they are but i
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: i know who they are and they were great um
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: got in trouble for that one i'm getting trouble regularly
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: and i don't know it was the 90s you know
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: might be a little bit different i don't know if
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: parents even care anymore if their kids listen to i genuinely.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Don't parents these days will be in the car and
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: they will have played a song from their past and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: their kids are loving it and suddenly the parent will
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: realize what the words really are And they'll go, wait
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: a minute, we shouldn't be listening to this.
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: But yeah, if you have a story like that, please
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: let us know. Were there restrictions on the music that
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: you listened to?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question. Oh, also, this hit me
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: while we were talking. I do recall that one of
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the earliest albums. vinyl, that I ever bought, Bunkner and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Garcia's Pac-Man Fever.
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: What? Yeah.
• 19:56
  Speaker 23: What?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: It was the eighties. It was the eighties.
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: It was the eighties, but there was good music.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was, but this is, this is as my
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: ear was just blossoming.
• 20:10
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: It moved quickly from that until many other things. Good night.

• 21:24
  Speaker 8: Richard Pryor. That's a bad one, man.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: Try explaining that away.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: My church youth group here in town, we would take
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: an annual ski trip.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: And you would stop at a truck stop or whatever
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: on the road. Gas up the bus and whatnot. Of course,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: there wasn't any boom boxes on the bus, per se,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: but everybody had headphones. So you'd go in and you'd
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: look for some cassettes. You'd go through the rack there
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: in the truck stop. And someplace in the panhandle, I
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: picked up an album by one of the greatest comedians
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: of all time, George Carlin.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: You brought a George Carlin.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah. And that tape went around that bus. Everybody
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: wanted to hear that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: When did they catch? Who got caught with it?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Nobody got caught with it. No one got caught with it?
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Nobody caught with it, no.
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: How?
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: You were in a church camp.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: How did y'all not get caught with it? Headphones. Man,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: we had Walkmans, buddy. Come on.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: They were sleeping on the job. They were sleeping on
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: the job.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Probably. They were worried about much, much worse things than
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: hearing George Carlin's seven dirty words.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: Weather today, very, very hot. 97 for your high is
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: going to feel like 107 down at the 70s tonight,
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: back up to the mid-90s tomorrow. Weather's brought to you

• 22:52

• 23:33
  Speaker 12: On this Tuesday, it's easy to figure out why many
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: members of the Trump administration continue to give access to
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: Fox News. It's well watched by conservatives and generous to
• 23:45
  Speaker 12: the president's men and women. Social media outlets will soon
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: pass FNC's reach. But it will remain a comfort zone
• 23:54
  Speaker 12: for the right. Nothing wrong with that when you consider
• 23:58
  Speaker 12: that the other television news outfits are all committed left.
• 24:04
  Speaker 12: The Trump administration is the most press accessible in history.
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: I guess the Trumpsters hope to persuade. Long shot. And
• 24:14
  Speaker 12: you can imagine President Biden speaking with the opposition. Very
• 24:20
  Speaker 12: rarely happens. Getting specific, I don't understand the Jake Tapper thing.
• 24:26
  Speaker 12: CNN loathes Mr. Trump, and Tapper is right on board
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: with that. He is deeply enmeshed in the gotcha game,
• 24:37
  Speaker 12: so why bother with him? I'm not getting this at all.
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: I do respect politicians and pundits that mix it up.
• 24:46
  Speaker 12: That is a rapidly shrinking group. but I don't believe
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: in rewarding contrived deceitful behavior. Both parties should engage the opposition.
• 24:56
  Speaker 12: Just be smart and honest about your agenda. Back in
• 25:04

• 27:12

• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Ted Cruz is making it clear that he will be
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: running for president again. Experts say there is a path
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: to victory here. if he runs a Trump-adjacent campaign.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: In 2016, he showed his differences with President Trump, and
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's where he's comfortable being.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Texas GOP strategist Vinny Menchilo says the president has not
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: hinted at who he will endorse, but it is likely
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: to either be J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio. In order
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: to stand out, Cruz will have to endorse some Trump priorities,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: but also present his own ideas for the country. NFL

  Speaker 1: The feds have extended the construction pause on the $ 1. 7
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: billion Big Bend border security project until September 30th.
• 30:58
  Speaker 25: The feds' pause comes thanks to the lawsuit filed by
• 31:01
  Speaker 25: the Lippon Apache community. State Senator Roland Gutierrez filed the
• 31:05
  Speaker 25: suit that claims the homeland security construction in and around
• 31:08
  Speaker 25: Big Bend National Park violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
• 31:12
  Speaker 25: physically altering, destroying and blocking access to sacred ancestral, ceremonial
• 31:17
  Speaker 25: and burial sites.
• 31:18
  Speaker 12: What we came out with was an agreement from the
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: government that there would be no construction until September the
• 31:23
  Speaker 12: 15th in both Big Bend 2 and 4, the entire region.
• 31:26
  Speaker 25: The feds have since sent a letter extending that pause
• 31:29
  Speaker 25: until September 30th.
• 31:30
  Speaker 26: If by September the 30th the demands of our clients
• 31:33

• 34:38
  Speaker 8: down to the 70s tonight. Weather's brought to you by

• 34:56
  Speaker 1: 979-695-1620.
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: Question for the room. When you are choosing employment, are
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: you willing to work for the devil? Not Satan, literally.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Depends on what positions he's hiring for. I guess it
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: might not be qualified.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: Have you ever worked for the devil? Have you ever
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: worked for a company that you disagree with?
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Yes. Really? Yes. But, again, it's in radio, right? Well,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: a different story.
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: No, but seriously, is it a requirement for you that
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: your job line up with your, I guess, what? Is
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: there alignment between?
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: There should be alignment between those sort of things, right?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I know that I am happiest when I am working–
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: for somebody or an entity that I can get behind
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: everything that they've, they've got going on, or at least
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the overall mission. Uh, and, and when I can't see
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: that I'm less content, but I also understand having to,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: having to punch a clock just to put food on
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the table.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Bills are bills, right?
• 36:07
  Speaker 28: Right.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: So do you just go with it or do you,
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: Do you have a line?
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: You're like, I'm not going to cross.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: I'm not working for these guys.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's lots of variables. How much money is involved?
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: How evil the company is. Are we talking pure evil?
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Is it literally Satan? And I know this is very theoretical,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: but if.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: You want to chime in, if you want to weigh in, 979-695-1620,
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: I bring this up because I do have a concrete example.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: Would you work for Flock?
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: The cameras. That's right. Would you work? For flock. Right now.
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: Today.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Today. Yeah, what'd you do it? It depends on the position,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing, and it also depends on the money. I mean,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not in a... I mean, I could always use more.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not in a great time of, you know, not desperation.
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're not... But more money is always.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: A good thing. Yeah, it's nice. So, I mean, what's
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the skinny on this?
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: So, this is a little bit inside baseball here. In
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: addition to... doing a radio show. I'm also, you know,
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: looking for other employment because.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: That's going to have some gig economy.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: It's a gig economy. It's going to take two jobs to, to,
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: to live at this point. And it, you know, it
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: should be, you know, it's like, you know, this is
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: three hours is very minimal time. And I have a
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: nine to five open. Why not have another job? So
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: I'm always looking and indeed knows that about me. And
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: so indeed will serve me jobs.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: And it thinks I might want to apply for LinkedIn.
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: I'll do it too. If you ask it to, and
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: I get served the following job yesterday evening, full-time employment.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: It's remote. You can do this job here.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Okay. Lots, lots of benefits to that.
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: You'll be working for flock as their communications director, the
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: executive director of communications for flock. They will pay you
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: to do this job and they will pay you $ 243, 000
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: a year.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: That uh it's a lot of cheese.
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: Would you enjoy hearing some of the overview of this
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: job sure of course overview the problem this is literally
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: what it says every community deserves to be safe flock
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: builds the technology that makes that real last year we
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: supported over 1 million criminal investigations and helped locate more
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: than 10 000 missing people did you know any of
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: that yeah 10 000 humans We're building the impossible with
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: over $ 1 billion in funding, and the expectations are high
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: on purpose. If you want to roll where the stakes
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: are real and the pace matches, you've come to the
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: right place. We're looking for a seasoned, pressure-tested, strategic communications
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: leader to own our narrative, manage high-stakes media relations, and
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: build an authentic brand presence that resonates with local communities,
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: law enforcement, and future talents.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's no secret Flock has lost the
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: PR campaign, right? So I know why there's a job
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: opening there.
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: We all do. If I was to take on that job,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, the chances of failure are pretty high and
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have anything to do with flock. Like Sam
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: just texted in. He's like, you know, it doesn't have
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: anything to do with them. It's how your local law
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: enforcement keeps the data protected. Yes. And so forth. So,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah. Flock is like a hammer. Hammer didn't do
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: anything wrong. It's just that people tend to use a
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: hammer for crazy things when it comes to these.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Right. So, yeah. But talk about a tough gig. What
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: would the expectation be oh.
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: Great question will uh let's talk uh let's see and
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: pull this guy back up uh what the role is
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: not maybe this will help clarify the expectations of being
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: the uh the chief face of.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Flock cameras the face of flock the.
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: Face of flock Not a pure corporate mouthpiece. We don't
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: do fluff or overly polished corporate speak. You must deliver clear, transparent,
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: and high-impact messaging. Yeah, it would be nice to do that.
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: Not a passive reactive role. You won't just respond to
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: press inquiries. You are expected to aggressively shape the narrative
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: before others write it for us. Too late on that. Guys,
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: my suspicion is that train might have left the station.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: The cows are out of the barn.
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: Not a hands-off delegate-only position. You will operate with a
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: high bias for action. You will write, strategize, and execute
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: along with your team. So that's what the job is not.
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: What is the job? Own crisis communications and issues management.
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: Proactively mitigating narrative risks and protecting company reputation across all
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: public platforms. Establish clear, measurable metrics for brand sentiment. media reach,
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: and narrative control across key growth markets.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: You see, there's part of me that, number one, a
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: lot of this sounds like it would be right up
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: my alley. I love crisis communications. There's a lot about
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: that I like.
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: If you like crisis communications, I heard you like some
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: crisis communications on your crisis communications.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: As you're going through this, there's a million things that
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I could think of that I would want to try
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: in that position. However, I think As we mentioned yesterday,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: I think the court of public opinion has already issued
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: their verdict on this. And it's because that flock did
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: not handle their PR in the right way.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they absolutely botched it.
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got 10,000 cases that are solved. How
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: come most people don't know that? How come you're not
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: running advertising saying that?
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: It's like you submitted my application at the exact same
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: time because, yes, I did apply to this job.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: Because I would like $ 243, 000.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's good for homework.
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: It comes. It comes with a cover letter for this.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: I'll be frank. Flock technology could be the most transformative
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: change in law enforcement since the adaptation of fingerprinting, says I.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: According to your own reports.
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: It has helped locate more than 10,000 missing people in
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: an astoundingly short period of time. You have 10,000 success stories,
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: and most people know exactly zero of them.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Or at most, a handful.
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: To the public, it's just a number. When TikTok was
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: in danger of being pushed out of the U.S. market,
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: it ran a coordinated campaign across almost every channel, highlighting
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: the people who would use the platform to communicate, build businesses,
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: create communities, and change their lives. It turned an abstract
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: debate about technology into a conversation about real people. Basically...
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: I told them that they suck at their jobs.
• 42:36
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I think they should be aware of that by now.
• 42:39
  Speaker 8: I would hope they're aware of that.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about they've created the product they
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: wanted to create, and apparently it works fairly flawlessly.
• 42:46
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: But they did not take a minute to tell their story.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: You got to tell your story, man. You got to
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: get out in front of these type of things. $ 243, 000,
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: pretty decent compensation for this.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: You don't think it should be a little bit more?
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, 243 for remote work with little to
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: no chance at actually successfully pulling it off.
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: How long do you think you would last in the job?
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: How long do you think the company will be able
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: to pay you?
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: That's my question.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: That's the other issue.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: That's my question.
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: All right. We've got to take a break. We're back
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: right after this.
• 43:23
  Speaker 29: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family,
• 43:26
  Speaker 29: and I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 43:29

• 44:05
  Speaker 31: Healthy marriages are built on three ingredients, me, you, and us.
• 44:10
  Speaker 31: The first two, me and you, are crucial and typically overlooked.
• 44:14
  Speaker 31: That's because modern ideas about marriage often downplay the importance
• 44:18
  Speaker 31: of healthy individuals. In the movies, romance is the result
• 44:22
  Speaker 31: of two broken people who rescue each other. But good
• 44:25
  Speaker 31: relationships almost never work that way in real life. A
• 44:29
  Speaker 31: person who can't care for their own emotional well-being is
• 44:32
  Speaker 31: usually too unhealthy to care for someone else's as well.
• 44:36
  Speaker 31: It's like filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom.
• 44:39
  Speaker 31: No matter how much love or attention you pour in,
• 44:41
  Speaker 31: it's never enough. The true foundation of a strong marriage
• 44:45
  Speaker 31: is a healthy you and a healthy me, which leads
• 44:48
  Speaker 31: us to the third ingredient of a healthy marriage, us.
• 44:52
  Speaker 31: When two healthy individuals fully give themselves to each other,
• 44:56
  Speaker 31: the result is a couple with strength, intimacy, and unity.
• 45:00
  Speaker 31: Problems stop being his problem or her problem and start
• 45:03
  Speaker 31: becoming our problem, and victories stop being his or hers
• 45:07
  Speaker 31: and become ours. That mindset changes everything. Instead of fighting
• 45:12
  Speaker 31: against each other, you learn to fight for each other.
• 45:16
  Speaker 31: Instead of keeping score, you work as a team and
• 45:18
  Speaker 31: bring your conflicting perspectives into harmony. The happiest couples aren't
• 45:22

  Speaker 28: The A & M football team meets up with Arizona
• 47:06
  Speaker 28: State for the second time in program history this Saturday
• 47:10
  Speaker 28: and will be the first time that the Sun Devils
• 47:12
  Speaker 28: come to Aggieland. Ahead of this week's matchup, head coach
• 47:15
  Speaker 28: Mike Elko has been reflecting back on what he's learned
• 47:18
  Speaker 28: from his team after week one.
• 47:20
  Speaker 20: I think it's probably why I was very anxious in
• 47:22
  Speaker 20: the lead-in to get out there and do it because
• 47:25
  Speaker 20: as you go through this thing, you realize that there's
• 47:27
  Speaker 20: always a jump. When you go from kids who haven't
• 47:32
  Speaker 20: played together in real games, it's always a little bit
• 47:35
  Speaker 20: different the first time they do it. We needed to
• 47:38
  Speaker 20: figure out where the bar was. We needed to figure
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: out what what people were really capable of doing on
• 47:43
  Speaker 20: the big stage with the big lights, and then we
• 47:45
  Speaker 20: needed them to get out there and grow through some
• 47:48
  Speaker 20: of those growing pains that I knew were going to exist.
• 47:51
  Speaker 20: And so, yeah, I think we learned a lot about
• 47:54
  Speaker 20: where we are and then what we need to do
• 47:56
  Speaker 20: to kind of get where we want to go.
• 47:58
  Speaker 28: Arizona State will be the first Big 12 opponent to
• 48:01
  Speaker 28: play at Kyle Field since the Aggies' final season in
• 48:04
  Speaker 28: the Big 12 in 2011. Since joining the SEC, the
• 48:08
  Speaker 28: Aggies are 3-2 against Big 12 opponents with all five
• 48:11
  Speaker 28: contests coming.
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: In a bowl game.
• 48:14
  Speaker 28: Coach Elko spoke about the challenges that Arizona State brings
• 48:17
  Speaker 28: to the table this week.
• 48:19
  Speaker 20: I'd like to win every game, and so I don't
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: want to play anybody who's any good, but I think
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: games like this are important. I think they matter. I
• 48:25
  Speaker 20: think they matter to our fan base. It's going to
• 48:27
  Speaker 20: be a huge challenge for us. I think this is
• 48:31
  Speaker 20: a really, really talented team, and I know a lot
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: of people... like to look at logos and think logos
• 48:37
  Speaker 20: mean things. They really don't. This is a really talented
• 48:39
  Speaker 20: team that's been producing a lot of NFL players, has
• 48:41
  Speaker 20: a bunch of them on the field this weekend, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 20: this will be a really big challenge for us.
• 48:46
  Speaker 28: This week's game will be the Maroon and White's second
• 48:48
  Speaker 28: of their three straight home games to begin the 2026 season.
• 48:52
  Speaker 28: Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. on Saturday. The A
• 48:56
  Speaker 28: & M baseball team announced that Olsen Field will host
• 48:59
  Speaker 28: a pair of fall exhibition scrimmages, starting with Rice on
• 49:03
  Speaker 28: Friday night of October 2nd with first pitch slated for
• 49:06
  Speaker 28: 6 o'clock. The second scrimmage will be against McNeese on Friday,
• 49:10
  Speaker 28: October 16th with first pitch set for 7 p.m. Both
• 49:14
  Speaker 28: exhibition games are scheduled the night prior to a pair
• 49:17
  Speaker 28: of home Texas A & M football games against Arkansas.
• 49:20
  Speaker 28: in the Citadel with admission to both games at Bluebell
• 49:23
  Speaker 28: Park being free. The Aggie volleyball team has had the
• 49:27
  Speaker 28: last week off to regroup ahead of the Shiner Children's
• 49:29
  Speaker 28: Showdown at the net that the team is headed to
• 49:32
  Speaker 28: tomorrow night. Head coach Jamie Morrison shared thoughts on the
• 49:35
  Speaker 28: Aggies recent games and losses.
• 49:37
  Speaker 22: I think We're capable of beating both of those teams.
• 49:40
  Speaker 22: I think if you look at the Purdue match, we're
• 49:41
  Speaker 22: up four points in two of the sets. Not being
• 49:43
  Speaker 22: able to close was frustrating and there were different things
• 49:46
  Speaker 22: and different matches. And I told our team, I remember
• 49:48
  Speaker 22: having the thought last year, if all of this clicks
• 49:50
  Speaker 22: at the same time, like it's like one night, this
• 49:52
  Speaker 22: is going well and this isn't. And I always equate
• 49:54
  Speaker 22: it to, you feel like you're, I don't know, on
• 49:55
  Speaker 22: a ship that has a bunch of holes and water's
• 49:56
  Speaker 22: coming in and you're like, I'm going to go plug
• 49:57
  Speaker 22: this one. And then it's like the cartoon where that
• 49:59
  Speaker 22: one goes and you're like, and then you have a
• 50:00
  Speaker 22: toe in this. And hopefully by the end of the season,
• 50:03
  Speaker 22: you got them plugged and you're, I don't know, floating
• 50:04
  Speaker 22: and flowing the way you should be. So, I think
• 50:06
  Speaker 22: it was a little bit of that. And again, similar
• 50:08
  Speaker 22: since last year at times. So there's encouraging thoughts there,
• 50:11
  Speaker 22: but it's frustrating. And obviously you don't like losing. It's
• 50:14
  Speaker 22: a tough schedule to put together. So there's a piece
• 50:17
  Speaker 22: of it that comes with that.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 50:20
  Speaker 22: I said at the very beginning of the season, I
• 50:21
  Speaker 22: didn't think we'd come through unscathed, but I did think
• 50:23
  Speaker 22: we'd win some of these. So yeah, encouraged and frustrated
• 50:27
  Speaker 22: all at the same time.
• 50:28
  Speaker 28: The Marin and White hit the road for tomorrow night's
• 50:30
  Speaker 28: match against Stanford with first serve set for eight o'clock.
• 50:34
  Speaker 28: That's your morning sports update brought to you by AirServe
• 50:36
  Speaker 28: of Aggieland on 1620-945-WTAW. I'm Riley Flurkey.
• 50:43
  Speaker 18: Howdy, Don Hatcher, owner of AirServe of Aggieland with your
• 50:46
  Speaker 18: HVAC tech tip. When's the last time you changed your
• 50:49
  Speaker 18: air filter? A clogged filter restricts airflow, makes your system
• 50:52
  Speaker 18: work harder, and drives up your energy bill. All while
• 50:55
  Speaker 18: circulating dust and allergens through your home. Most filters need
• 50:58
  Speaker 18: to be changed every one to three months. It's one
• 51:00
  Speaker 18: of the simplest things you can do to protect your system.
• 51:03

• 53:17
  Speaker 8: The U.S.
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: Open.
• 53:18
  Speaker 8: We talked about that.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 53:20
  Speaker 13: The food.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the caviar chicken nuggets.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: It's just weird. It's weird. And it got weirder because
• 53:27
  Speaker 8: now the players are complaining that it might not be
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: up to par as far as athletics and keeping the
• 53:36
  Speaker 8: athletes satisfied with being able to perform at peak performance.
• 53:41
  Speaker 14: And focusing on hitting the target.
• 53:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 53:45
  Speaker 14: I don't know if you could hear that at home,
• 53:50
  Speaker 14: but apparently there might be someone smoking a little marijuana.
• 53:54
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: A marijuana.
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: A marijuana cigarette. A tennis player, who I will not
• 53:59
  Speaker 8: try to pronounce her name, but she is.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: A big deal.
• 54:02
  Speaker 8: She was being overwhelmed.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Sabalenka.
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's Sabalenka.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: It's Ariana Sabalenka. Oh, nice work, dude. Thank you.
• 54:10
  Speaker 8: But yeah, she said she was having a hard time
• 54:12
  Speaker 8: concentrating because of the The powerful stench of weed.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: The devil's lettuce was floating in the air.
• 54:19
  Speaker 8: Everywhere in the stadium.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Apparently this is not the first time that people have smothered.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: There's a park nearby, the U.S. Open site, and they
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: speculate that the left-handed luckies may be sparked up over
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: there in that park.
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: And that it's drifting from the park.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: The prevailing winds are taking it into the U.S.
• 54:42
  Speaker 26: Open.
• 54:42
  Speaker 8: There's 0% chance of this. It's the rich celebrities who
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: are there just blazing it up in the stands.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: You think the rich celebrities are blazing it up in
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: the stands?
• 54:51
  Speaker 21: 100% yes.
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: They don't care. There's no one there that actually cares
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: about tennis. They care about being seen at the U.S.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Open. Well, don't they understand that they want to be
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: seen and that's potentially a negative connotation? I mean, It's
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: a gateway drug.
• 55:06
  Speaker 19: It is.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: And, you know, you should think about that.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: You should think about that.
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: You should think about that if you're going to be
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: at a public event.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but a lot of these major cities, I remember
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: years ago, I went to Seattle.
• 55:18
  Speaker 8: You can't go through any city without smelling weed.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Up in the Pacific Northwest when I was there this summer,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: it was everywhere.
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but what about the city of Houston? It's just,
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: there's a constant haze of, it's just there. It's what
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: you get now.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Look, I don't want to smell your cigarette smoke. I
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to smell any other kind of smoke.
• 55:38
  Speaker 8: It's like air. I just want air.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: You know, clean air whenever I'm walking around.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: And if I'm smoking something like a cigar, I'm going
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: to be in a designated area.
• 55:46
  Speaker 8: A cigar smoking place.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 55:48
  Speaker 8: A place where you expect to run into cigar smoke.
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: Things to consider. 1620-945-WTAW. Kyle's station.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Brian's station.
