The Infomaniacs: September 17th 2026 (6:00am) · WTAW - Infomaniacs

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: woman was arrested after running out of gas and throwing
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: objects at people who tried to help. Francis County Sheriff's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: deputies responded to the call at Welburn and Norwood Drive
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: around 5.30 Tuesday evening. Callers say 41-year-old Carla West was
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: throwing objects at the cars of people who attempted to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: offer assistance. West claimed she was being followed and chased
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: before running out of gas. Three vehicles were struck in all.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: She was charged with criminal mischief under $ 100 and released
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: on $ 1, 200 bond. Four College Station firefighters were dispatched yesterday
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to help with the Hydra wildfire in Bosque County. They
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: were activated as part of TIFMAS, Texas Interstate Fire Mutual
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Aid System, which is maintained by Texas A & M
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Forest Service. According to the Texas A & M Forest Service,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the Hydra fire has consumed 1,100 acres and is 25% contained.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It's not good news from the state capitol for Texans,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: hoping to see gambling legalized anytime soon.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: The Texas Senate State Affairs Committee met to study ways
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to end gambling loopholes, and Kalshi was their main target.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: State Senator Bob Hall.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Open for suggestions from anybody on how we can word
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: this to minimize the experts that thrive on getting around
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the law so that we can continue to protect the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: people of Texas.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Grace York of the American Gambling Association had suggestions.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The most successful route that we have seen that states
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: have taken against prediction markets offering sports gambling is suing
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: them in state court.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Kalshi claims to be a federally regulated exchange. There, Robert
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Denault argued that regulating prediction markets is the way to go.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: And come up with consumer protection frameworks, maybe in the
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: marketing and advertising space.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Deep fakes aren't just a problem for celebrities and politicians.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Scammers are now using AI to take advantage of ranchers.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: This used to be the way to build a herd,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: but now, says rancher Scott Frazier.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Online sales and that sort of thing have become more common,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: whether it be livestock, household goods, or whatever you're buying.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: The risk is in buying livestock based on a posted photo.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: One scam, they got away with about $ 70, 000 from one
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: of our producers. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says ranchers
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: have been duped into buying livestock that didn't exist based
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: on images that were AI generated.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: That's TSN's Jim Ryan reporting. Members of the U.S. Senate
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: are at work this week, and Senator Ted Cruz hopes
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they will vote on his Protect College Sports Act. He
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: says it would reestablish the old regulation on transfers for athletes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: That every athlete is entitled to one free transfer. After that,
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: you can have a transfer in narrow specified circumstances if
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: your coach leaves, if your program is canceled, or if
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: you're the victim of sexual assault or sexual harassment.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Cruz also wants to set up rules to block athletes
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: who have played at the professional level from rejoining college teams.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: He's calling on lawmakers to vote on the bill this month.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: More news on the way at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: Kind of hard to do that, Ted, when the House
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: already went home for checks, notes, six weeks, two months.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the House, though, from what I understand. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Senate is still pretending like they're doing something.
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: Who cares, Ted? You ain't going to get that thing
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: on the desk until 2027.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: If it hits a desk, it's not going to go
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: very far. And if it does, it's going to be
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: completely doesn't look a thing like it does now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: Have you read this yet? I haven't. I haven't even
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: read it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: No, but Ted gave us a very simple explanation. It'll
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: take it back to the way things used to be.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: You know what? See, I'm just doubtful. I don't think
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: you can put toothpaste back in the tube.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, them cows out of the barn, man.
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: You know, and all that said, I'm... I'd love nothing
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: less than to laugh at Ted Cruz. I'm honestly grateful
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: that someone is at least trying something.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Giving it a shot. Although he's doing it more to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: help himself than he is anybody else.
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: I forgot what senator I was listening to last night
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: talking about this. And it was like, why are we
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: talking about college? He's like, not to say it's not
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: a problem, but don't we.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you know, got a couple other things on the list
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that might take.
• 4:25
  Speaker 9: Priority that might be more important.
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: And, and, you know, I, yeah, that's also true. I'm
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: not denying that, but like, good Lord, Ted, I, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: will read it at some point because I just, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: gotta know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: I gotta know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: And I am, I have, I've become, I have become
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: jaded and untrusting and it's.
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: Because that's life today. Or it's getting old.
• 4:47
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Welcome to adulthood.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: When did you hit the point where you started reading
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: actual Senate legislation?
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: Before it passes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I know that I've been critical of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of it since probably my 40s. Probably about
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: your age.
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: That's what I figured.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: That's well. It's good to be here, guys. Welcome to Thursday.
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: We're glad you're with us today. Is the day of
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: the mythical 20% chance of rain or.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: 30% chance of rain? I've got it at 30 for me.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: I'm clocking 20, but I will go with 30 for
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: the purposes of the show today.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Do I hear 35?
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: Anybody?
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: 97 for your high, heat index 107, and down to
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: the 70s tonight, and back to sunny and hot.
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: I don't see any cool off on this.
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: I've got 97 tomorrow, 96 Saturday, which I guess maybe I.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That's fantastic. I can't wait.
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: That's great. I was served a commercial.
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: From a company in town and I've never, I didn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: know we had these in town and I'm, I'm the
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: only place I've ever seen them as Las Vegas.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: Hydration consultants.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Are you aware of what this is? These are the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: folks that'll run around and plug you up with an IV. Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: They hit you. They link you.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I've seen them around here for a few years now.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Never utilized one myself.
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 10: Me either.
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: But I'm getting ad served for them now because they're like, Hey,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: two 30. game against Kentucky, even Elko had a statement yesterday.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: He was like, hey, thank you.
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: Thank you for coming to the games when it is
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: the literal hottest time of the year. We really appreciate it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: So now everyone's thinking maybe the solution to Kentucky is,
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: you know, everybody links up to some banana bags before
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: the game.
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: It's not a horrible idea.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Gets you that extra power. Again. Well, it's a little
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: preventative maintenance.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and, you know, again, hydration is important.
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: Weather is brought to you by our friends at Malik
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: Service Company and the Texas Heat. Your air conditioner works overtime,
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: but a well-tuned AC will save you money and keep
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: you comfortable. Turn to the experts at Malik and carry
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: you to keep your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. Remember,
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: you can always weigh in on anything on the show. Call, text, whatever, 979-695-1620.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: Mike is at it early today.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Is he?
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: Because Mike wants to discuss the new episode of South Park,
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: now South America, because it mirrors what is in our
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: local news with e-bikes and the entitled Bicyclist. He says,
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: brilliantly written in one of the, it had several laughing
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: out loud moments during the, I will say this is
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: a great episode. I don't want to give away any
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: plot points.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I haven't seen it yet.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: But that said, exactly what I thought it was going
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: to be. Yeah, they got it right on. It's all
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: about e-bikes. and how they are a menace, an absolute
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: menace to the community.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: South Park, if it's nothing else, it is entirely topical.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're going to be on the cutting edge.
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: And so I'm glad to know this isn't just a
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: College Station thing, frankly, that it's made. Again, we talked
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: about this yesterday with William Wright when he was here.
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: I've been to Denver. I obviously live here.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: It is worse here than it is in Denver, probably
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: just because of the college students, but good lord.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It's per capita, and all the e-scooters and stuff are
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: on top of each other. They're all surrounding the giant
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: 800-pound campus.
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you this. I was on Briarcrest driving home,
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: so I'm crossing through town, going back out towards Highway 16.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: And right around the Planet Fitness, I see a kid
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: on a bike, an e-bike, just zips just straight across,
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: straight across. Green lights for me, ran reds for him,
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: although I doubt he looked at it that way. I
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: think he was just like, I'm just going to check
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: and see if there's a traffic going. I get a
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: hole and I'm going to go across. Like it was,
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: I mean, just nothing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Scooter Frogger.
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: 30, yeah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: It was Scooter Frogger and he was probably going about 30. Just,
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: you know, again, trying to roll past. I've seen that
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: several times.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: And Brian, my guess is that has something to do
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: with Blinn. And the kids are going home from Blinn.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Possibly with Blinn, or you said you were next to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the Planet Fitness. Could have been somebody going over for
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a workout or something.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: You don't want to waste your energy on the bike
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: ride over.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: No, you don't want to exercise before you go exercise.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: It goes on to say, ironically enough, I saw one
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: of the entitled bicyclists, which is also part of the episode,
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: on ING near Rock Prairie around 8 p.m.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: Last night, all decked out in his Gucci gear. You
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: saw a cyclist... Riding in Gucci?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not shocked.
• 9:38
  Speaker 12: Are you?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, a lot of those cyclists really go
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: full cosplay with it and get their little hats. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: they got their tight little biker shorts and their little
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: shirts that have the little pocket in the back where
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you can tuck your water bottle.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: This is why i'm i i don't i don't have
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: any point of experience in the in the cyclist world
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: like all of that stuff is supposed to give you
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: an edge right like in a race like hey i'm
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: gonna have an aerodynamic.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Right gonna shave my legs i'm gonna shave my legs.
• 10:08
  Speaker 8: We're gonna have an aerodynamic you know spandex bodysuit What
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: does it matter if you're training?
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: Why can't you just be doing it in basketball shorts?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Right, you should actually be creating drag and training.
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: Shouldn't you be working harder?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Right, resistance training. Like, this isn't a race.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: A vehicle was slowly following as he was impeding traffic. Well,
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: my friends, that vehicle just so happened to be at
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: Brazos County Sheriff's Tahoe. And yes, as I watched in
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: my rear view mirror, the deputy lit him up.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I wonder what he was cited for.
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: That's a good question.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Probably a lack of good taste for wearing Gucci on
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the bicycle.
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: See, I was going to say party foul.
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: Because, yeah, spandex Gucci seems like that was not necessarily
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: meant for you to wear as bicycle attire.
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: It happens.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see me do it, I can assure you.
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: Was Nike not expensive enough for this?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: What were you thinking?
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: Anyway. All right, Thursday, guys.
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: We're glad you're here. The Infomaniacs on WTAW. We're back
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: right after this.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And now for the bonus round.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: Who imposes property taxes?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: State government. Nice try, but no.
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: Local governments. Correct.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And we have a winner.
• 11:24
  Speaker 14: Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control property taxes.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: why your property taxes are going up is because local
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: got to do is to stop the spending that leads.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: To property tax increases.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: You should have a say on whether or not your
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: property taxes go up. It should be a vote that
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: requires two-thirds vote before any property tax increase can ever
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: be imposed on our fellow Texans. You're going to be
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: able to live in your home for the rest of
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: your lives without being priced.
• 12:03
  Speaker 15: Out of it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Protecting homeowners. Lowering property taxes. That's Governor Greg Abbott. Political
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.
• 12:11

• 13:14
  Speaker 11: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 13:31
  Speaker 11: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.

  Speaker 8: reasons to celebrate on this Thursday, the 17th. of september
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: 2026 days of notes for today kind of interesting on
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: constitution day and citizenship day.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah constitution day because it was in 1787 239 years
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: ago that the majority of the delegates among the constitutional
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: convention in philly signed the constitution correct.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: Big moment in american history uh and world history to
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: be honest there was a uh a stat that came out,
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: someone had done, I guess it looked at a lot
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: of the countries that have like, again, just now the
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: time of constitution was radical, right? They, most countries have
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: a constitution. So they looked at what countries have the
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: easiest constitutions to change. We ended up almost dead last good.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: And it, it was positioned as, Oh, shouldn't we have the, no, no,
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: you want it to be, As hard as you can
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: to change it. Also, you should look at all the
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: countries that beat you in the easiest category. They're not
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: countries like, they're not countries you know, man. Countries that,
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: it's 24 hours since I read this, I can't even
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: remember who the countries were that were in the easy pile.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: But I remember America, right near the bottom, and again.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You know. That's tops on my list.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: You want an incredibly difficult document to change. Possible to change.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: But it's going to take moving heaven and earth to
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: get one of those bad boys done. Also, the citizenship
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: side actually predates, interestingly enough, the modern designation of Constitution Day.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: Congress established the I Am an American Day in 1940.
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: It became Citizenship Day in 1952, and they moved it
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: to September 17th. They added the Constitution Day component. In 2004,
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: with an emphasis on civic education, i.e. know the Constitution,
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: and specifically the Bill of Rights.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Know it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: And the amendments, the rest of them.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: Love it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Live it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: Committed to memory. You are given these rights. They are
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: in that document.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: They are inalienable.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Inalienable. Do not take them for granted.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Preach.
• 17:17
  Speaker 18: Any.
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: Free queso day today. Oh, hey! That means nothing unless you.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Have a Moe's Southwest Grill near you because it's more
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: of a promotion other.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: Than a national observance.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: No, that's disappointing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: But that said, queso is important to all of us,
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: so I will take the opportunity to salute great queso.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: If you say so.
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: Monte Cristo Day.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: My wife's favorite sandwich.
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: A bit of trivia, Will. Who established Monte Cristo Day?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: The Count.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: No. No? No, no.
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: No, it is a company that established it. It is
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: a corporation that decided to honor this great sandwich.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: It was Binnegan's.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, Binnegan's had the best.
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: Binnegan's will never be touched.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: On my wedding night, my wedding night. We had to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: go to Bennigan's for Monte Cristo.
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: Because Monte Cristo is that important?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Well, because you don't eat. No, you never eat your
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: own food. Yeah, you never eat.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: It doesn't matter.
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: Honestly, when I was getting married, it was for that
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: same reason.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: Like, well, what are we going to get rid of?
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to eat it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to eat it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: Let's just get a bunch of stuff that, you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: and sure enough, I got through the entire thing. Not
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: a bite of food was consumed.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, I did. Yeah, I was guarding my plate like
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a mom of grizzly guards or cubs. Didn't speak to anybody.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I was famished. Been a hard day. Hard working day.
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: Generally considered an American descent of the French croque monsieur,
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: which is a ham and cheese sandwich often with turkey
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: added and American versions on bread, battered, fried, or grilled.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: And then in.
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: America, we decided to add powdered sugar and jam because
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: oddly enough, it hits. The Bennigan's version, rest in peace, Bennigan.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Still a couple out there.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Ham, turkey, Swiss, and American cheese on honey wheat bread,
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: batter dip, fried, caked in powdered sugar, and served with
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: raspberry jam.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You can still get a pretty decent one here. There's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a couple of places that have them.
• 19:15
  Speaker 18: Cheddar's.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Cheddar's is pretty solid.
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: I find to be the closest to the Bennigan's model,
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: and I'm glad that it still remains. National Table Shuffleboard
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: Day saluting, well, I don't know. What do you think
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: the greatest bar game is? Or let's put it this way.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: Where does table shuffleboard rank in all-time great bar games?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Pretty low. I've never.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: I mean, the Fox and Hound had a setup.
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: I don't think I ever.
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: Ever have played an actual game of bar shuffleboard.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know that i have either and it's it's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: not dangerous enough you need darts.
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: Darts yeah i want pointy things to.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Throw especially when I'm drinking.
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: That's more my jam. Birthdays for today. What do we got?

  Speaker 1: Very famous very quickly. Some guy named Patrick Mahomes is

  Speaker 1: 31 today.
• 20:08
  Speaker 19: Oh, Pat.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, Pat.
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: Maybe the Grammy cut possibly on pace to be the
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: greatest quarterback of all time. Although he's starting to starting
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: to need some new parts a little more frequently.
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: That's that's troubling.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: It is trouble. But I love to see it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: I love to see it from a Texas, Texas kid.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: And from what everyone.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Says, a great kid.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Alexander O... I knew I was going.
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: To butcher it. Alexander Ovechkin.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: That's the guy.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Will, is he the hockey player?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: He is the hockey player, left winger for the Washington Capitals.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: Tragically, he has been cutting.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: pro-Putin commercials over in Russia.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Has he really?
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: Because he is a Russian man. And in a statement,
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: they were like, well, you know, he is Russian and
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: he has to live in Russia after he finishes playing hockey.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: So.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: He's going to do what he asked to do to
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: stay alive.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Give him a pass.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: Also might be the answer of why Alex Ovechkin is
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: still playing professional hockey in his forties. I think he
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: wants his visa more than he wants the more than
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: he wants the money.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Anyway, there he has. He hasn't found some way to
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: get his green card.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: You know, I find that hard to believe that he
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: would have a trouble with, with finding permanent status, but
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: you know, Also, Russia.
• 21:27
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: Also, Russia seems to frown on that and probably take
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: it personally if he decided he wanted to renounce. And
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: you know what happens to Russians when they do something
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: like that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: They fall out of windows accidentally.
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. It's crazy. They just don't live very long,
• 21:41

• 25:52
  Speaker 21: out $ 190 with a win. Is Texas going blue? Republicans

  Speaker 4: Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller helped develop the recommendations as a
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: member of the Texas Nutrition Advisory Committee. The guidelines encourage
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Texans to eat more fruits, vegetables, and healthy proteins, as
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: well as choose whole grains and drink plenty more water.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Miller says the recommendations bring nutrition back to the basics,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: focusing on real food while recognizing the role that Texas
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: farmers and ranchers play in producing it. I'm Kristen Yates,

• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Texas has taken steps to shore up the state's scandal-plagued
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: lottery system. The bulk buying of tickets, which has been
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a huge problem, is no longer allowed.
• 32:15
  Speaker 22: Lottery tickets must be purchased in person at a licensed
• 32:18
  Speaker 22: retailer site in normal business hours.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Courtney Arbor, the head of Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: told lawmakers that the goal is to instill trust in
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the system. An investigation found that an international gambling ring
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: used online lottery ticket resellers to rig a $ 95 million jackpot.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: The former head of the Texas Lottery Commission has since
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: been indicted. Governor Abbott is ordering penalties for Texas data
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: centers that refuse to report their water usage to the state.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Abbott said in a news release earlier this week that
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: data centers must share the duty to protect Texas water.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Fewer than 30 percent have responded to a mandatory water
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: usage survey. Most of the water used for data center
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: cooling is non-potable, and it benefits data centers to comply
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: for permits and financial aid. The problem is that the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Texas Water Development Board has no prosecutorial enforcement powers and
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: relies on local DAs and police to enforce. Abbott wants
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: an enforcement and compliance update by October 14th. The man
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: running the state's power grid will not be receiving a
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: pay raise next year, according to Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Reports that ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas had.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Been approved to make up to $ 6.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: 4 million next year have been greatly exaggerated. At least
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: that's according to Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. Earlier this week,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: ERCOT did agree to the raise, but now that's apparently
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: been tabled. According to a post from Lieutenant Governor Dan
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Patrick saying he told ERCOT Board Chair Bill Flores and
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Public Utility Chair Tom Gleason that during a time of
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: increasing utility costs, This is not the time to give
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the CEO a multi-million dollar raise on the backs of
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: rate payers. Vegas currently has a million dollar base salary
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: with incentives that could bump that up to four million.

  Speaker 2: In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Voter registration of teenagers is down in America, but it's
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: really down in Texas. Registration of teen voters has been
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: down nationwide all year by about 30 percent. And a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: new Tufts University nonpartisan survey analysis released Monday shows that
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Texas registered 47 percent fewer 18 and 19 year olds
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: than they did compared to 2022. That's the second worst
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: dip of the 22 states they tracked. In Texas, voter
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: registration closes October 5th with early voting beginning October 19th.

• 37:04
  Speaker 8: Saturday looks like it's going to be a lot like
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: last Saturday. Which, if you were at the game, my word.
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: That was an endurance sport.
• 37:11
  Speaker 15: It was.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: It was. I survived it. I do not need to
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: prove that I can do it again for a while.

• 37:29
  Speaker 8: was, for whatever reason, I would consider to.
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: Be an exceptionally good Twitter day.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Was it really?
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: And I have one thing to credit for that. And
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: by exceptionally good, I mean the zingers. I'm on Twitter
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: for the one-liners. Yeah, those are brilliant. I don't want
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: your eight-page dissertation on some garbage take. I want 160 characters,
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: and I want to laugh.
• 37:53
  Speaker 9: Or less.
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: Or less, and I want to laugh hard enough to
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: where I'm going to take a screen cap. Basically... I
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: judge a good Twitter day by if I have to
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: take more than five screen caps, that's a good Twitter day.
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: And the people we have to thank for that, Macklemore
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: and Ed Sheeran.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: What was the one you found?
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: The one I found is if you're not referring to
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Macklemore as vanilla ISIS, you're doing it wrong. If you're
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: not familiar with what's going on here.
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, give him some background.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I'll try. You know, Ed Sheeran, international superstar.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: We all know Ed Sheeran because if you've been to
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: a wedding in the last 15 years, you've probably heard eight.
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: Of his songs.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: If you watched The Voice, you know, he was a
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: guest coach on The Voice for a little bit.
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: I need to emphasize this. Prior to this week.
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: No one dislikes Ed Sheeran.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Not a soul on the planet.
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: You might not be into him. You might not be
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: buying his albums.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: It's very hard to dislike him. But you're like, oh,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: he's a cute little ginger kid. How can you hate him?
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: He's a kind man. He puts out bangers.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: And, I mean, there's multiple videos out there of him
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: just going to a school and sitting down with kids
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: and playing music.
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: Yo, he straight up walked around New York one day
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: just giving private concerts. He loves that stuff.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: He just wants to be around. He wants to play music.
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: He wants to meet his fans.
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: He's walked into a coffee shop before at Starbucks and decided, yeah,
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: I'm going to be a barista today.
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: People are walking up, you know, getting their coffee from
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: Ed Sheeran.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Ed butchering their names.
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we've all seen it. So that's Ed Sheeran.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: That's Ed. Ed, international superstar, as I said. Plenty of money.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Guy has done great.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Kind.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Benevolent. Has Macklemore as his opening act. Now, I'm not real,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: real familiar with the Macklemore.
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: You are familiar with a few of his songs.
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: Macklemore is a rapper who was actually a pretty big
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: deal probably like about 10 years ago.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: And again, I love Macklemore. Love Macklemore songs.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Great.
• 39:47
  Speaker 9: Very politically... Very politically loud.
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 39:51
  Speaker 9: Very politically loud man.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: So people are saying, and if you see this, if
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: you see that Macklemore said free Palestine.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: That's not all he said.
• 40:01
  Speaker 9: He said free Palestine. He also played a song about Palestine.
• 40:05
  Speaker 9: And he's got a history of wild things.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he mentioned genocide and all the things.
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: Which again, I'll put it this way. He got political
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: at work.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He got political at work is perfect.
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: And what happens typically... When you get political at.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Work, we'll CLM career limiting move.
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: And sure enough, people start calling Ed Sheeran. Those people
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: were billionaires like Bob craft. The people that own the
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: NFL stadiums.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Bob craft didn't necessarily call Ed. Bob said, Macklemore can't
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: play here. And since Bob owns the stadium.
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: It is his building.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: He can do that.
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: And Jerry did the same thing, by the way, Jared
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: did that. Cause Jared does also own Gerald world.
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 9: And he said, you know, that's a, can't do it, brother.
• 40:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: You're going to have to, you're going to have to
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: get rid of him.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: So Ed making the only choice he had.
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: Because again, he's on a world tour of NFL stadiums.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Said, uh, uh, Macklemore, your services are no longer late.
• 41:01
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry, dude, you popped off on stage.
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: I gotta let you go. And then the chaos began.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: I mean, the amount of Ed Sheeran lost 200,000 followers.
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: By the way, uh, 200,000 followers in a day.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I would say that is a good start on a
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: decent trim of the people you don't want in your life.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: But that's just me.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: People are now actively angry at Ed Sheeran, who I will, again,
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: I will mention, is maybe the nicest guy in music.
• 41:32
  Speaker 9: Maybe the nicest guy in music.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Even AOC came out.
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: AOC wanted to get the smoke with Ed.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and... And, of course, her take was I think
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: the only thing she got right was the name Macklemore
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and Ed Sheeran. I think the rest of it was gobbledygook.
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: I know what you're thinking.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Like, well, why?
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: What's there to be mad about? People wanted Ed Sheeran
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: to actively take a side. People want Ed Sheeran to
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: get political at work. And you might think, well, does
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: Ed Sheeran get political at work usually?
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: No.
• 42:02
  Speaker 9: Actually, he's very much opposite.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: He's very dolly, very dolly about that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: That's the terrifying part.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I hate that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 9: Can't you just not be?
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: Are you showing up to an Ed Sheeran concert to
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: to try to figure out global politics?
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: It's not a rally.
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: It's not a rally choice like you get a place
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: you can go for that.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: Jam. You know, it's just like.
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: Is there a requirement that everything you.
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: Do, you have to have a full dossier?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: It depends. There are certain artists. For example, I'll lay
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: one out on the right. Ted Nugent.
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: Oh, you know what you're getting into. You know what
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: you're getting into.
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: Which is also why I'm not like, no one's surprised
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: that Macklemore would say that.
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: But again, I'm just not a fan of getting political
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: at work. I will never be a fan of getting
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: political at work.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I love me some Uncle Ted, but honestly... At some point,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: you're like, hey, Ted, man, play a song.
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: Even that, yes, you're correct. Even then, it gets old.
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: Anyway, so that's the controversy. Now, for what it's worth,
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: there is one female who could, because all the other
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: bands quit.
• 43:08
  Speaker 9: His backup band quit.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Did they?
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: It's Ed and no one else on this tour.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: There is one female who could save him. Does he
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: need saving? No, he doesn't.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: Honestly, he's one of the only dudes who can actually
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: one man a stadium and he'd be fine. The other
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: apolitical pop star who is his best friend is Taylor Swift.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: T-Swizzle could do it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: If she wanted to.
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:31
  Speaker 9: I don't think she will, but if she wanted to.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: She's got other things on her plate right now. Opportunity
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: to do the most hilarious thing ever.
• 43:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Take a break. Be back right after this.
• 43:39

• 44:17
  Speaker 20: No gardener likes to see the end of the growing season,
• 44:19
  Speaker 20: but we're just a couple of months from that fateful
• 44:21
  Speaker 20: first freeze, less than that in parts of Texas. Inevitably,
• 44:25
  Speaker 20: there are more plants than there are places to put them.
• 44:28
  Speaker 20: Something has to go, and it's your job to determine
• 44:30
  Speaker 20: which plants are hauled inside for the winter and which
• 44:33
  Speaker 20: are left outdoors to freeze. I'll be back with suggestions
• 44:36
  Speaker 20: right after this message. winter ryegrass, rescue grass, annual bluegrass,
• 44:41
  Speaker 20: and others, even many of the broad-leafed weeds. This is
• 44:44
  Speaker 20: your time to prevent them with high-yield turf and ornamental
• 44:47
  Speaker 20: weed and grass stopper containing Dimension.
• 44:50
  Speaker 26: Spread it over your lawn now before the weed seeds
• 44:52
  Speaker 26: sprout and be weed-free for the season. apply it to
• 44:56
  Speaker 26: your flower beds and around shrubs it's even safe on
• 44:59
  Speaker 26: any type of lawn grass as long as it's been
• 45:01
  Speaker 26: through its first winter water it into the soil and
• 45:04
  Speaker 26: you'll be done but get it done now apply it
• 45:07
  Speaker 26: again in the spring and early summer to prevent crab

  Speaker 26: grass and grass high-yield turf and ornamental weed and grass

• 45:32
  Speaker 26: dealer at Fertilome.com. High-yield turf and ornamental weed and grass
• 45:36
  Speaker 26: stopper containing Dimension. See the label for full directions.
• 45:41
  Speaker 20: Your first criterion in determining which plants ought to be
• 45:44
  Speaker 20: saved ought to be those plants that are irreplaceable and
• 45:47
  Speaker 20: those plants which would be expensive to replace next growing season.
• 45:51
  Speaker 20: Perhaps you've developed a collection of scented leaf geraniums or
• 45:54
  Speaker 20: cutting grown coleus that would be almost impossible to reassemble.
• 45:58
  Speaker 20: Maybe you have several pots of especially nice tropical hibiscus, bromeliads,
• 46:02
  Speaker 20: or succulents. Those are plants that get the first lifeboat indoors.
• 46:06
  Speaker 20: At the other end of the spectrum would be inexpensive,
• 46:09
  Speaker 20: quick-to-grow plants that are readily available every spring in Texas nurseries.
• 46:13
  Speaker 20: Don't bother to save wax begonias, hybrid purslane, or impatiens.
• 46:16
  Speaker 20: They're fussy, and they don't carry through the dark days
• 46:19
  Speaker 20: of winter very well, and the plants never seem quite
• 46:21
  Speaker 20: as vigorous as you'd expect the second time around. If
• 46:25
  Speaker 20: you have large houseplants and hanging baskets that have been
• 46:28
  Speaker 20: rejuvenating outdoors over the summer, get them inside before it
• 46:31
  Speaker 20: starts to turn really cold. Some plants are damaged by
• 46:34
  Speaker 20: temperatures well above freezing. Firebush, tropical hibiscus, bougainvilleas, Diefenbachias, Chinese
• 46:41
  Speaker 20: evergreens all decline quickly when temperatures drop below 45 or
• 46:45
  Speaker 20: 50 degrees. Don't leave them outside until the first freeze
• 46:49
  Speaker 20: or you're likely to have bare stems to bring back
• 46:51
  Speaker 20: indoors for the winter. The most common question out of
• 46:55
  Speaker 20: all of this is can I put these plants in
• 46:57
  Speaker 20: the garage when it's cold? And the bad news is
• 46:59
  Speaker 20: that there's no clear-cut answer. If you're willing to shuttle
• 47:03
  Speaker 20: them in and out of the garage, then you'll be fine,
• 47:05
  Speaker 20: but that is a labor. Texas is comparatively warm many
• 47:10
  Speaker 20: winter days. The farther south you go, the more that's true.
• 47:13
  Speaker 20: You probably won't have more than 20 or 30 or
• 47:15
  Speaker 20: 35 days and nights in which you'll need to leave
• 47:19
  Speaker 20: the plants confined to the warmer quarters. Nonetheless, moving plants
• 47:23
  Speaker 20: gets really old after a couple of months, and invariably
• 47:26
  Speaker 20: you mess up, you get stuck at work, or something
• 47:29
  Speaker 20: happens and your plants freeze. If you have unusual lantana,
• 47:32
  Speaker 20: chenille plants, joseph's coat, bloodleaf, coleus, geraniums, a lot of
• 47:36
  Speaker 20: other plants, you can take cuttings. Look up online. See
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: how cuttings are rooted and then potted up. Small plants
• 47:44
  Speaker 20: are easier to save in the winter. Some plants that
• 47:46
  Speaker 20: are sold and grown as annuals will come back the
• 47:49
  Speaker 20: following after average or mild winters. That really depends on
• 47:52
  Speaker 20: where you are in Texas, and I would really not
• 47:55
  Speaker 20: count on things to come back. You can always buy
• 47:57
  Speaker 20: new transplants. Caladiums, I don't believe you're going to be
• 48:01
  Speaker 20: ahead by trying to save those tubers. People do it once,
• 48:05
  Speaker 20: and they hate it. Bananas are perfectly capable of surviving
• 48:09
  Speaker 20: most of Texas if you'll mulch them. Those are a
• 48:11
  Speaker 20: few things. We're going to talk about bad things we
• 48:13
  Speaker 20: do to good trees in our next program. Until then,
• 48:16
  Speaker 20: happy gardening.

  Speaker 27: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 48:56
  Speaker 27: on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie football team is two days out
• 49:01
  Speaker 27: from kickoff of their first SEC conference game of the
• 49:04
  Speaker 27: 2026 season. Ahead of this week's game, the Aggie defense
• 49:08
  Speaker 27: had two pick sixes against Arizona State for the first
• 49:11
  Speaker 27: time since 1999 and finally shook off the interception bug
• 49:15
  Speaker 27: they have had for a while under the Elko era.
• 49:18
  Speaker 27: Head coach Mike Elko spoke about the team's turning point
• 49:21
  Speaker 27: during the Arizona State game and how the Aggies have
• 49:24
  Speaker 27: been finding their rhythm ahead of the upcoming game.
• 49:26
  Speaker 15: Felt like the second half the game felt that way.
• 49:30
  Speaker 15: I felt like we had a much better grip on
• 49:32
  Speaker 15: the second half minus the one coverage issue that got
• 49:36
  Speaker 15: the kid loose on the long touchdown. I thought play
• 49:39
  Speaker 15: in and play out we weren't very good in the
• 49:41
  Speaker 15: first half both sides of the ball I thought coming
• 49:44
  Speaker 15: out of halftime we played much better both sides of
• 49:47
  Speaker 15: the ball in the second half and and I felt
• 49:49
  Speaker 15: like we had control of the game. And then two
• 49:51
  Speaker 15: plays I felt like caused that to feel at risk.
• 49:55
  Speaker 15: The touchdown obviously was one of them, and then the
• 49:58
  Speaker 15: drop punt created another one. And so the response to
• 50:01
  Speaker 15: the touchdown, which was the offensive drive, was really, really big.
• 50:04
  Speaker 15: And then obviously the response to the botched punt and
• 50:08
  Speaker 15: the strip interception return for a touchdown was the other one.
• 50:11
  Speaker 15: I thought those two plays really kind of halted any
• 50:15
  Speaker 15: momentum that they put together to try to get themselves
• 50:17
  Speaker 15: back in the game.
• 50:18
  Speaker 27: Coach Elko also spoke about the importance of the defensive
• 50:21
  Speaker 27: line depth and how it translates on Saturdays.
• 50:24
  Speaker 15: I think we talk a lot about how important effort
• 50:27
  Speaker 15: is in being a great defense. Talk about strain and
• 50:30
  Speaker 15: effort as being one of the core principles of being really,
• 50:32
  Speaker 15: really good on defense. When you talk about being a
• 50:35
  Speaker 15: 260 to 300-plus pound guy playing in the Texas heat,
• 50:41
  Speaker 15: if you have to play every snap for four quarters,
• 50:44
  Speaker 15: that's a challenge if you want to play at the
• 50:46
  Speaker 15: level and standard that we want to play at. And
• 50:47
  Speaker 15: so the ability to rotate guys, the ability to keep
• 50:50
  Speaker 15: guys fresh, the ability to kind of come in waves
• 50:53
  Speaker 15: at offenses I think is something that we've always kind
• 50:56
  Speaker 15: of viewed as a weapon for us. And we've done
• 50:59
  Speaker 15: it a lot with– Six or seven has kind of
• 51:02
  Speaker 15: been our number since I've been here in 18. This
• 51:05
  Speaker 15: is the first time where we're really doing it with nine, ten,
• 51:08
  Speaker 15: and maybe even sometimes 11 guys. I just think over
• 51:12
  Speaker 15: the course of the nine-game SEC schedule, we had to
• 51:17
  Speaker 15: build ourselves for that too. That's going to be part
• 51:19
  Speaker 15: of it because this is going to get real physical
• 51:22
  Speaker 15: real fast. Playing nine SEC football games is going to
• 51:25
  Speaker 15: require a lot of guys in the trenches to be
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: ready to step up.
• 51:29
  Speaker 27: Saturday afternoon's kickoff time is set for 2.30. Tonight in
• 51:33
  Speaker 27: Thursday night football, former Aggie tight end and current head
• 51:36
  Speaker 27: coach of the Detroit Lions, Dan Campbell, is getting his
• 51:39
  Speaker 27: team ready to take on the Buffalo Bills. Kickoff for
• 51:42
  Speaker 27: tonight's game is set for 7.15, and you can watch
• 51:45
  Speaker 27: the game on Prime Video. The Aggie men's golf team
• 51:48
  Speaker 27: fell to the top-seeded Texas 4-1 in the championship match
• 51:52
  Speaker 27: of the Jackson T. Stevens Cup yesterday afternoon. The A
• 51:56
  Speaker 27: & M soccer team continues SEC play this Friday with
• 51:59
  Speaker 27: a road match against Vanderbilt. Last time out, the Aggies
• 52:03
  Speaker 27: suffered a loss to Kentucky in Lexington, and head coach
• 52:06
  Speaker 27: Bobby Shuttleworth spoke about the team's performance in their first
• 52:09
  Speaker 27: conference game of the year and what they've been working
• 52:12
  Speaker 27: on ahead of tomorrow's next SEC match.
• 52:14
  Speaker 28: I think against Kentucky, we had some of our highest
• 52:17
  Speaker 28: numbers in terms of our high speed running. And I couldn't,
• 52:19
  Speaker 28: you know, the effort, the intensity of the actions is
• 52:22
  Speaker 28: not something that I could fault in them. They worked
• 52:24
  Speaker 28: hard and sprinted when they needed to sprint for the
• 52:26
  Speaker 28: most part, most individuals. So can't fault that. I think
• 52:30
  Speaker 28: what we're lacking is, like I said, an attention to detail.
• 52:33
  Speaker 28: All of that hunger and desire needs to be put
• 52:36
  Speaker 28: into the right places and mentally staying on task and
• 52:39
  Speaker 28: doing the things that we need to do. What's our job?
• 52:41
  Speaker 28: What's our next job? So like I said, pretty much
• 52:43
  Speaker 28: our main points of focus for this week and then
• 52:46
  Speaker 28: going into this game.
• 52:48
  Speaker 27: The Maroon and White's first kick from the Vanderbilt Soccer
• 52:51
  Speaker 27: Complex is set for 8 o'clock tomorrow night. In the
• 52:54
  Speaker 27: MLB last night, the Texas Rangers beat the Boston Red
• 52:57
  Speaker 27: Sox 7-3. while the Houston Astros lost 5-2 to the
• 53:01
  Speaker 27: Kansas City Royals. That's your morning sports update on 1620, 94.5 WTAW.

• 53:41
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: I do want to do a correction.
• 53:43
  Speaker 8: A lot of people have been like, hey, Taylor Swift's
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: not apolitical.
• 53:45
  Speaker 28: Yeah, yeah.
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: The thing is, she's like closest to the middle.
• 53:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: As far as you can get with artists that are,
• 53:50
  Speaker 8: and that's not saying middle, just kind.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Of close to it.
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: Ed was, Ed was dead center.
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: He didn't say anything.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about.
• 53:58
  Speaker 9: Politics at work.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Leave Ed alone.
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: Now he's almost going to be out of a tour.
