0:39
Speaker 1: the words, political ad paid for by Don Huffine's campaign.
0:43
Speaker 1: She filed the complaint, citing potential violations of the Texas
0:46
Speaker 1: election code. which prohibits a public officer from spending or
0:50

2:12
Speaker 2: The flooding that hit Kerrville and some other surrounding towns
2:14

Speaker 2: for 23 counties, which can cover the cost of debris

2:33
Speaker 2: FEMA has issued a letter saying that the request for

Speaker 3: by the FBI. The arrest came after the teen acquired
3:06
Speaker 3: a weapon. The suspect's not yet been identified. Self in
3:10
Speaker 3: an online post said there is some connection between the
3:13
Speaker 3: teenager and ISIS, and that planned attack may have been
3:16
Speaker 3: politically motivated. Self is currently running for a third term

4:18
Speaker 6: Of 10.
4:19
Speaker 5: And a, wow, really?
4:22
Speaker 7: Yep.
4:22
Speaker 5: Is it already about to be playoffs?
4:24
Speaker 1: Pretty close.
4:25
Speaker 8: Oh, Lord.
4:26
Speaker 6: The new high school football playoffs that last six weeks. Yeah.
4:28
Speaker 9: Love it, though.
4:29
Speaker 7: Love it.
4:29
Speaker 5: Well, get used to that, boys. Because what did we,
4:33
Speaker 5: last week and week four, they talk about, what's the
4:35
Speaker 5: new playoff number for next year? 24. Four teams.
4:39
Speaker 6: Everybody gets in Invitational.
4:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much.
4:42
Speaker 5: I mean, 24.
4:44
Speaker 1: The dirty two dozen.
4:46
Speaker 5: I get it. Whatever. I mean, you know what? Lots
4:48
Speaker 5: of money will be made, and that's really why we're
4:50
Speaker 5: doing this.
4:52
Speaker 6: That's why we do everything in college football now.
4:54
Speaker 1: Pretty much.
4:54
Speaker 5: In the meantime, though, week eight of the SEC. And, Louie,
5:00
Speaker 5: you have some thoughts, I can see.
5:02
Speaker 6: Oh, I have one week seven. I was waiting for
5:03
Speaker 6: you to announce that.
5:05
Speaker 1: Did you?
5:05
Speaker 10: No.
5:06
Speaker 11: No?
5:06
Speaker 10: What?
5:07
Speaker 11: No.
5:08
Speaker 9: How?
5:08
Speaker 5: We tied at four. By my math, you got three.
5:11
Speaker 5: Now we'll go over it. Just because, again, I believe
5:14
Speaker 5: in transparency. Here's what I have for Louie's sheet. Louie B.,
5:20
Speaker 5: week seven. I have you picking Texas. Incorrect. I have
5:24
Speaker 5: you picking LSU. Correct. I have you picking Texas A
5:30
Speaker 5: & M over the Citadel. Incorrect.
5:33
Speaker 7: They didn't cover.
5:34
Speaker 5: No, they didn't cover. Which... Holy cow. I mean, not
5:38
Speaker 5: that they should have that in mind.
5:40
Speaker 12: Well, one offensive lineman with two false starts, our third
5:43
Speaker 12: and goal from the one back-to-back drives kind of cost
5:45
Speaker 12: you the cover there.
5:48
Speaker 5: Got to keep those things in the fort. Can't have
5:50
Speaker 5: mistakes if you want to beat a 45-point spread.
5:54
Speaker 12: They win 4-1-0, and they don't cover because of one
5:57
Speaker 12: offensive lineman.
5:58
Speaker 5: Alabama at Tennessee.
5:59
Speaker 11: Nope.
6:01
Speaker 5: Missouri at Ole Miss.
6:02
Speaker 9: Yes.
6:03
Speaker 5: You picked correct. Auburn at Georgia.
6:06
Speaker 12: Nope.
6:06
Speaker 5: Nope.
6:07
Speaker 1: So, no, Louie, you did not win last year.
6:09
Speaker 5: Kentucky and Oklahoma.
6:10
Speaker 9: Yes.
6:11
Speaker 5: Yes. Arkansas at Vanderbilt.
6:14
Speaker 10: No.
6:14
Speaker 6: No.
6:15
Speaker 7: Yeah.
6:16
Speaker 5: Now, Will and I both tied. Thank God I had
6:20
Speaker 5: a good feeling about Kentucky. Do you know Steve Young
6:24
Speaker 5: went 10 for 10 with his.
6:26
Speaker 6: I was watching it.
6:27
Speaker 12: It's only like the second time in the past 20
6:29
Speaker 12: years I've watched ESPN College Game Day.
6:32
Speaker 6: Yeah. And- He went 10-0.
6:33
Speaker 13: 10-0.
6:33
Speaker 12: It was awesome.
6:35
Speaker 5: If he would have laid that parlay, man, he would have.
6:38
Speaker 6: He'd have made another $ 100 million.
6:39
Speaker 5: He'd have made another $ 100 million.
6:40
Speaker 1: He's not a gambler, though. He played at BYU. Those
6:44
Speaker 1: Mormons don't gamble.
6:44
Speaker 6: Oh, I've talked to a lot of former Aggie football
6:47
Speaker 6: players over the years, right?
6:48
Speaker 14: Yeah.
6:48
Speaker 12: And I'm telling you, the number one team named is
6:51
Speaker 12: the dirtiest team to ever face was BYU.
6:53
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
6:54
Speaker 6: I'm just telling you right now. Absolutely.
6:55
Speaker 5: Oh, no, they're Mormons?
6:57
Speaker 1: There was sarcasm in my words.
6:59
Speaker 5: My friends, I played private. Christian high school basketball. That's
7:06
Speaker 5: a very niche category, by the way. The most religious
7:10
Speaker 5: schools are always the dirtiest on the court or on
7:15
Speaker 5: the field.
7:16
Speaker 12: So they let it out. All the pent up and
7:19
Speaker 12: bottled up.
7:20
Speaker 5: Don't know why it is. It's whatever. You never suspect them,
7:24
Speaker 5: but they are always always just like described by byu
7:31
Speaker 5: i did like the byu feature it looks like a
7:33
Speaker 5: wonderful place to take in a game though holy cow
7:35
Speaker 5: they give you free ice cream if you're visiting that
7:38
Speaker 5: that's just.
7:38
Speaker 6: Free ice cream i'm broadcasting come on dude that's.
7:41
Speaker 5: Why i like it so much i think it adds
7:42
Speaker 5: a lot to the culture all right so let's get
7:45
Speaker 5: down to business week eight of uh of of our
7:49
Speaker 5: our national nightmare otherwise known as the sec uh in
7:53
Speaker 5: 2026 texas a & m.
7:55
Speaker 1: Yeah only six games this week like i mentioned so
7:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to guess there's not going to be a
7:59
Speaker 1: whole lot of variation, maybe a little bit in our picks.
8:02
Speaker 7: We'll see.
8:02
Speaker 1: Well, maybe so, maybe not.
8:04
Speaker 5: Let's start with LSU at Auburn. Auburn, also a team
8:07
Speaker 5: that had a shocker, maybe one of the worst teams
8:11
Speaker 5: in the SEC, and all of a sudden.
8:14
Speaker 11: A boom.
8:14
Speaker 6: Best weekend of college football ever.
8:16
Speaker 5: It was so great. It was so great. Just up
8:18
Speaker 5: and beat them some Georges. So now they get the
8:21
Speaker 5: reward of facing the Fighting Kiffins and being a two-and-a-half-point dog.
8:27
Speaker 6: Will's a very LSU kind of guy.
8:28
Speaker 9: Who are you taking?
8:29
Speaker 1: I was born in Baton Rouge. My parents went to LSU.
8:34
Speaker 1: Close enough. My grandfather was faculty there. And I'm saying
8:38
Speaker 1: go Auburn Tigers.
8:41
Speaker 5: Oh, going Tigers.
8:42
Speaker 1: Auburn Tigers.
8:43
Speaker 5: No, it's Tigers.
8:44
Speaker 10: Notice.
8:45
Speaker 5: Not Tigers. Tigers. Tigers.
8:46
Speaker 7: LSU.
8:47
Speaker 5: I don't think Auburn consistency.
8:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just.
8:56
Speaker 5: There's no way that happens twice. And if it does,
8:58
Speaker 5: that's awesome because I hate Lane Kiffin. I really don't
9:01
Speaker 5: like LSU right now.
9:02
Speaker 1: That factored into my pick was the fact that I
9:04
Speaker 1: hate Lane Kiffin and LSU. However, I do think Auburn
9:08
Speaker 1: sustains for another week. And I think LSU is on
9:11
Speaker 1: that tipping point of falling into desolation.
9:15
Speaker 10: Oh, yes.
9:15
Speaker 5: As it would be lovely to see. Delicious, some might say.
9:19
Speaker 5: Oklahoma and Mississippi State. Oklahoma a four and a half
9:22
Speaker 5: point favorite, mainly because we don't. No, if Mississippi State's quarterback,
9:29
Speaker 5: who's a world killer, is going to be there. He's
9:32
Speaker 5: still listed as questionable. Mississippi State, four and a half
9:35
Speaker 5: point dogs. What do you think, Lou?
9:38
Speaker 6: I think I had to pick this game earlier in
9:39
Speaker 6: the week.
9:40
Speaker 12: And I spent 20 minutes before I literally came up
9:43
Speaker 12: with the answer. I so don't care. Like when Vanderbilt
9:46
Speaker 12: and Arkansas played together, that's just two bad teams.
9:47
Speaker 5: That's legit just.
9:49
Speaker 6: They're awful.
9:49
Speaker 12: And this is teams that aren't supposed to be.
9:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a boring game.
9:53
Speaker 12: Mississippi State was the story of the year.
9:56
Speaker 6: OU is a preseason top 10.
9:57
Speaker 11: Mm-hmm.
9:58
Speaker 12: This game is so frustrating because neither team deserves to win.
10:02
Speaker 6: They're both just awful.
10:03
Speaker 12: And then I made the pick, and it's one of
10:05
Speaker 12: those where I had to go shower afterwards. Because I
10:07
Speaker 12: picked OU, and this is the first and only time
10:10
Speaker 12: of the year I think I'm going to pick OU.
10:12
Speaker 5: I hate picking OU for anything.
10:13
Speaker 12: I don't like it because it's OU. I don't like
10:15
Speaker 12: it because I just picked John Mateer to win. I
10:17
Speaker 12: wouldn't pick him to win X's and O's. I wouldn't
10:21
Speaker 12: pick Indian leg wrestling. I wouldn't pick OU to win anything.
10:23
Speaker 12: I just picked him to win a football game. So
10:25
Speaker 12: it's OU and it's my least favorite.
10:27
Speaker 6: Pick I've had all year.
10:28
Speaker 5: I should know this by now. Do we get OU
10:30
Speaker 5: this year?
10:30
Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
10:31
Speaker 6: Next to last game.
10:31
Speaker 5: It's going to be us versus.
10:33
Speaker 6: It's in Norman.
10:34
Speaker 12: It's the 11th game of the year right before Texas.
10:36
Speaker 12: I think the final score of that game is going
10:38
Speaker 12: to be 6-5.
10:38
Speaker 6: Maybe. Two field goals and a field goal to safety.
10:42
Speaker 6: That's going to be the most boring game in the
10:44
Speaker 6: history of college football.
10:45
Speaker 5: That is going to be a nightmare of a game
10:46
Speaker 5: to watch.
10:47
Speaker 6: All right, Will.
10:47
Speaker 9: So you're OU.
10:50
Speaker 6: Don't say that again.
10:51
Speaker 7: Okay.
10:51
Speaker 6: Take it back.
10:52
Speaker 5: I am also picking OU.
10:55
Speaker 6: And for you to pick OU, holy cow.
10:57
Speaker 5: I really don't like OU.
10:58
Speaker 1: In the battle of family trees that do not ford.
11:03
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the dogs here, Mississippi State Bulldogs,
11:07
Speaker 1: simply because they're at home. I was earlier, I was
11:11
Speaker 1: on the bandwagon of Mississippi State. The quarterback got injured.
11:14
Speaker 1: I think he's back this week, and I think the
11:16
Speaker 1: questionable status is one of those games that they're playing.
11:20
Speaker 1: So I think he's back, and I think they beat
11:22
Speaker 1: Oklahoma at home.
11:23
Speaker 6: Aren't you an Ole Miss guy?
11:25
Speaker 1: Again, Louie, there's a difference between Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
11:31
Speaker 7: A big one.
11:31
Speaker 1: I'll trust you.
11:32
Speaker 6: I'll just trust you on this.
11:33
Speaker 5: Tennessee, South Carolina with South Carolina as a two and
11:39
Speaker 5: a half point favorite, even though Tennessee took down Alabama
11:45
Speaker 5: in the cigar game this past week. What do we think?
11:49
Speaker 6: I think Vegas knows better than us. That's the first thing.
11:52
Speaker 5: I know that Vegas knows better than us. I was
11:54
Speaker 5: so ready to check Tennessee until I saw the spread.
11:56
Speaker 5: I was like, What am I missing here?
12:01
Speaker 12: Okay, the theme of the year in the SEC is what?
12:03
Speaker 12: You can't get up in back-to-back weeks. No team is
12:06
Speaker 12: able to survive the big win. No team has been
12:08
Speaker 12: able to survive the big win. Tennessee has no offense.
12:11
Speaker 12: Their defense has played at a high level all year long.
12:14
Speaker 12: South Carolina is the Jekyll and Hyde team of the
12:17
Speaker 12: year where they have all this talent, allegedly. We just
12:20
Speaker 12: never get to see it. And they had their big
12:23
Speaker 12: breakout win. But yet, that's the only game they played
12:26
Speaker 12: worth a stink all year long.
12:30
Speaker 6: I'm taking Tennessee. I don't care.
12:32
Speaker 5: I'm taking Tennessee out of anger. Because I'm mad. I
12:35
Speaker 5: know Vegas probably knows something I don't. I'm just mad
12:37
Speaker 5: about it now. I'm digging my heels in. I feel
12:40
Speaker 5: like October is where.
12:51
Speaker 1: Teams start to show who they really are, right? And
12:54
Speaker 1: so that's what I'm seeing here, and I'm going with
12:56
Speaker 1: Tennessee because of that.
12:57
Speaker 6: If I were to take.
12:58
Speaker 12: South Carolina and then I lose a game and I
13:00
Speaker 12: pick Shane Beamer, that's another.
13:03
Speaker 6: One I can't respect myself.
13:04
Speaker 5: That's heartbreaking.
13:05
Speaker 6: I'd rather lose with Tennessee than win with South Carolina.
13:07
Speaker 5: Vanderbilt and SEC leading in football. Kentucky Wildcats.
13:17
Speaker 6: Go Cats.
13:18
Speaker 5: Go Cats. Kentucky, 10.5-point favorites. That's an easy one.
13:21
Speaker 6: Roll Cats.
13:22
Speaker 1: Go Cats.
13:23
Speaker 5: They cover that.
13:23
Speaker 1: Spread, yeah.
13:25
Speaker 5: Disappointing.
13:26
Speaker 6: You pick Vandy?
13:26
Speaker 16: No.
13:27
Speaker 1: Kentucky, they cover the spread over Vandy.
13:32
Speaker 5: Kentucky, by the way, is my favorite part of college
13:34
Speaker 5: football this year. Hands down.
13:35
Speaker 6: Will Stein, because I'm here.
13:37
Speaker 1: How long is Will Stein there before he takes a
13:39
Speaker 1: job elsewhere?
13:39
Speaker 5: 30 seconds.
13:40
Speaker 6: Tuesday or Monday? You know, the internet.
13:43
Speaker 7: God bless the internet.
13:44
Speaker 6: I love the internet. Already, Will Stein's the next Texas
13:47
Speaker 6: head coach.
13:47
Speaker 1: Well, because Nick Saban turned it down already.
13:50
Speaker 5: Speaking of, I don't know. I saw Miss Terry looking
13:53
Speaker 5: at houses in Westlake. I don't know about the rest
13:57
Speaker 5: of you guys. Joe Rogan's sitting at that property next door.
14:00
Speaker 14: Yeah.
14:01
Speaker 5: I don't know.
14:02
Speaker 6: He's got the Nick Saban guest house on the road.
14:05
Speaker 5: Joe called me and told me that a Pat McAfee
14:08
Speaker 5: was worried. It was just running around like a pool
14:10
Speaker 5: boy next door. And so that, that made me think, okay,
14:12
Speaker 5: Pat McAfee equals miss Terry and Nick equals boom there.
14:16
Speaker 6: You know, you did the always sunny.
14:18
Speaker 5: Yeah.
14:19
Speaker 1: I see your logic.
14:20
Speaker 5: If we could play 40 chess, you're going to pick
14:22
Speaker 5: what nightmare of a coaching solution they're going to find
14:25
Speaker 5: a Texas. And speaking of these, of, of, I'd say
14:30
Speaker 5: the bigger dumpster fire now, thank God, in college football
14:34
Speaker 5: in the state of Texas, I'm really glad to have
14:36
Speaker 5: that off my back, is the Texas Longhorns losing again
14:43
Speaker 5: to the University of Florida.
14:45
Speaker 6: Two years in a row the Gators get the torpedo
14:47
Speaker 6: this season. It breaks my heart.
14:49
Speaker 5: And on top of that, they get rewarded by.
14:54
Speaker 5: By facing the very next week, the light ourselves on
15:00
Speaker 5: fire and push us to the moon, Ole Miss running Rebels.
15:05
Speaker 5: And I should have readers at this point, but I don't,
15:08
Speaker 5: so I'm just going to squint. Texas is listed as
15:12
Speaker 5: a three and a half point favorite.
15:17
Speaker 6: Which, it's in Austin. So basically, they're favored by being home.
15:21
Speaker 5: They're the favorite.
15:23
Speaker 5: Versus Lacey's back, Trinidad's in season, Ole Miss, if you
15:32
Speaker 5: have available money and are not opposed to putting money
15:36
Speaker 5: on sports, dear God, this is a hard one to
15:42
Speaker 5: walk away from.
15:43
Speaker 1: It's tempting.
15:43
Speaker 6: Daddy, why do we have no Christmas? I bet on
15:46
Speaker 6: the Longhorns. Because I bet on the Longhorns.
15:48
Speaker 5: Because the Horns were three and a half point favorites.
15:52
Speaker 5: And I'm taking Ole Miss to just absolutely cook them.
15:56
Speaker 5: Absolutely cook them. Take the points too. I haven't looked
15:59
Speaker 5: at that, but my God.
16:00
Speaker 1: Having been in enemy territory last weekend and watching the
16:04
Speaker 1: destruction that Ole Miss laid down. Look, they were not
16:09
Speaker 1: even that concerned about Missouri. They were looking at this game.
16:15
Speaker 1: This fan base and this team is fired up to
16:19
Speaker 1: go get them some in Austin.
16:21
Speaker 5: So you think this is going to come to pass?
16:23
Speaker 1: Ole Miss.
16:24
Speaker 6: I thought you were a Mississippi State guy. I can't
16:27
Speaker 6: keep track of this.
16:28
Speaker 1: The urge to backhand Louie is overwhelming.
16:30
Speaker 5: Lou, horns. No, Ole Miss. What do you mean?
16:34
Speaker 10: Ole Miss.
16:35
Speaker 12: Look, Ole Miss legitimately has a nightmare level bad D,
16:39
Speaker 12: but so did Florida. And it just doesn't matter right
16:41
Speaker 12: now with Texas because they have a very similar.
16:43
Speaker 6: Problem with A & M.
16:43
Speaker 5: The wheels are off.
16:45
Speaker 12: They have a bad offense with a bad quarterback and
16:47
Speaker 12: a bad offensive line.
16:48
Speaker 6: Anybody heard this story before?
16:50
Speaker 9: Yeah.
16:51
Speaker 6: Right?
16:51
Speaker 5: Well, I know we've got to get on to the
16:54
Speaker 5: A & M game, but I have to mention this.
16:56
Speaker 5: Roll Rebels. Thank you. You bring in Cam Coleman. And
17:01
Speaker 5: the only play that they seem to have created for
17:05
Speaker 5: this man... Run far, throw ball hard?
17:06
Speaker 10: Is, yeah.
17:07
Speaker 5: Just throw it towards Cam Coleman and then expect him
17:11
Speaker 5: to fly?
17:12
Speaker 6: Because you have a quarterback who can't read the defense.
17:14
Speaker 5: Like, was that the.
17:14
Speaker 6: Hey, does that sound familiar?
17:15
Speaker 5: Was that the plan going into it? Is, hey, you
17:18
Speaker 5: know what we should do? Cam, yeah, Cam surely will
17:22
Speaker 5: be able to catch everything you throw at him. We're
17:24
Speaker 5: just going to pay him $ 8 million and call it
17:27
Speaker 5: a day.
17:27
Speaker 6: They have an awful offensive coordinator.
17:29
Speaker 5: The throwing at Cam and letting him jump is just,
17:31
Speaker 5: it's atrocious.
17:32
Speaker 6: They have an awful offensive coordinator.
17:34
Speaker 1: Who would have thought that Will Muschamp would be the
17:37
Speaker 1: best coordinator on that field?
17:38
Speaker 5: Just be grateful, be grateful, be grateful, be grateful, because
17:41
Speaker 5: this was looking really dire. You cannot say A &
17:45
Speaker 5: M is the biggest dumpster fire in the state of
17:47
Speaker 5: Texas in SEC football. No, you can't.
17:48
Speaker 11: Oh, yes.
17:49
Speaker 5: I don't even.
17:50
Speaker 9: Oh, yes.
17:51
Speaker 6: A & M' s offense is ranked in the triple digits.
17:53
Speaker 5: I agree to disagree.
17:55
Speaker 1: Although you're probably right.
17:56
Speaker 7: I agree.
17:56
Speaker 5: I disagree with you. You're probably right. Speaking of the Ags.
18:00
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
18:01
Speaker 17: Bama.
18:02
Speaker 5: At Bama. Who are, by the way, 13 and a
18:06
Speaker 5: half point favorites. Avert your eyes.
18:07
Speaker 7: Yeah.
18:08
Speaker 6: Avert your eyes.
18:09
Speaker 5: I have two friends that have. picked all year long
18:13
Speaker 5: this being a game that A & M wins. All
18:15
Speaker 5: year long. He said, nope, we're going to get it
18:18
Speaker 5: done in Tuscaloosa against Alabama.
18:21
Speaker 6: Did you check with him this week again?
18:23
Speaker 5: They stood by their pick.
18:24
Speaker 9: Still?
18:25
Speaker 1: Look, miracles happen. Probabilities are more likely.
18:29
Speaker 5: This is just illusion. It's just illusion. And you do
18:32
Speaker 5: whatever you need to do to get past this weekend.
18:35
Speaker 5: If you need to go in and your spirit needs
18:38
Speaker 5: to believe that A & M is going to beat
18:40
Speaker 5: Alabama this weekend, believe it. Believe it with all your
18:42
Speaker 5: heart and soul. Watch the game. And then we'll move
18:45
Speaker 5: on next week. Not a chance in hell.
18:48
Speaker 6: Whatever lets you sleep at night. That's all you're saying.
18:51
Speaker 5: Whatever lets you sleep at night. Not a chance in hell. And, yeah,
18:55
Speaker 5: Alabama will absolutely be winning by more than two touchdowns.
18:59
Speaker 6: Here's your chance, even if it's a 1% chance, right?
19:02
Speaker 6: Alabama's defense is just as bad at A & M.
19:07
Speaker 12: Alabama's A & M defense is one of the 10
19:09
Speaker 12: worst in the country in allowing big plays.
19:11
Speaker 6: Alabama's offense is in the top 10 in the country
19:14
Speaker 6: in big play. True story. I had to look at
19:17
Speaker 6: this by the numbers. Guess what?
19:19
Speaker 12: Alabama's defense is one of the 15 worst in the
19:22
Speaker 12: country in allowing big plays.
19:23
Speaker 5: Is Williams-Coleman still out?
19:25
Speaker 11: Yes.
19:25
Speaker 6: Okay, all right.
19:27
Speaker 5: So maybe Sprint, maybe. One game, maybe.
19:29
Speaker 12: Because we know they can't drive because their offensive line
19:31
Speaker 12: will hold three times over any 10 plays you run.
19:34
Speaker 11: Yeah.
19:34
Speaker 12: But if A & M' s offense just can hit their plays,
19:39
Speaker 12: they can, shockingly, score points against Bama, and have that
19:44
Speaker 12: puncher's chance.
19:45
Speaker 6: Because Alabama's defense is weak. And again, they are one
19:48
Speaker 6: of the 15 worst teams in the league.
19:50
Speaker 5: If A & M beats the spread in terms of
19:51
Speaker 5: this pick, that is an A & M win. A
19:53
Speaker 5: & M did not beat Bama for the purposes of
19:55
Speaker 5: our pick. They just have to be within 13.5 points.
19:58
Speaker 5: And that spread is close. I still am picking Bama.
20:02
Speaker 1: That game is going to be a 13-14 point game.
20:05
Speaker 16: All right.
20:05
Speaker 1: But it is Bama.
20:06
Speaker 5: You're on Bama.
20:07
Speaker 18: Lou?
20:08
Speaker 6: I'm taking Bama.
20:08
Speaker 7: Okay.
20:09
Speaker 6: A & M' s got the puncher's chance.
20:10
Speaker 7: But that's it.
20:11
Speaker 18: Yeah.
20:11
Speaker 1: Look, if I wake up on Sunday morning and what
20:15
Speaker 1: happened is A & M miraculously won and I picked
20:18
Speaker 1: against them.
20:18
Speaker 5: Happy to be wrong, y'all.
20:19
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that.
20:20
Speaker 5: Happy to be wrong any time this type of scenario comes.
20:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, A & M wins. Well, hey, drinks are on. Well,
20:27
Speaker 6: I'll let someone else buy the drinks, but still, I'll
20:29
Speaker 6: drink with you.
20:29
Speaker 5: Drinks are on Elko.
20:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go.
20:31
Speaker 5: See, if you get past this one, you don't get
20:32
Speaker 5: to win. There's one left. One left that matters. I mean,
20:37
Speaker 5: because you know what I mean.
20:39
Speaker 6: South Carolina?
20:40
Speaker 11: No.
20:41
Speaker 14: Tennessee?
20:41
Speaker 18: No.
20:42
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a winnable game. I'll put it that way.
20:43
Speaker 10: Oh, you?
20:43
Speaker 6: The Big 12 rivalry?
20:44
Speaker 5: No, no. Also a winnable game. Second, you've got two
20:46
Speaker 5: winnable games.
20:47
Speaker 12: A & M' s schedule got easier, but they're in no
20:49
Speaker 12: position to take advantage of it.
20:51
Speaker 5: Just be Texas. Just be Texas. All right. Lou, thank
20:55
Speaker 5: you so much.
20:55
Speaker 19: Anytime.
20:56
Speaker 10: All right.
20:56
Speaker 5: Back after this.
20:58
Speaker 20: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
21:03
Speaker 20: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
21:06
Speaker 20: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
21:10
Speaker 20: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
21:13
Speaker 20: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
21:17
Speaker 20: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul

24:04
Speaker 5: On this day, October the 23rd in 1863.
24:09
Speaker 19: The first Texas Calvary USA left New Orleans for South
24:14
Speaker 19: Texas as part of the Union effort to interdict the
24:18
Speaker 19: lucrative trade between Confederate Texas and Mexico. The first was
24:23
Speaker 19: one of the two regiments of Unionist Calvary from Texas
24:27
Speaker 19: to serve in the Civil War. The second was formed
24:30
Speaker 19: in Brownsville after the Rio Grande Campaign got underway. Significant
24:35
Speaker 19: numbers of civilians who supported the North fled to the
24:38
Speaker 19: lower Rio Grande where a provisional state government was set
24:42
Speaker 19: up under Andrew Hamilton and where Edmund Davis and others
24:46
Speaker 19: recruited cavalrymen for the North. Davis had formed the first
24:50
Speaker 19: Texas Calvary USA in New Orleans in 1862. In November 1864,
24:56
Speaker 19: the regiment was merged with the 2nd into the 1st
25:00
Speaker 19: Texas Volunteer Cavalry. This new 12-company regiment engaged in patrolling
25:06
Speaker 19: and reconnaissance duties until the end of the war and
25:09
Speaker 19: was mustered out.
25:10
Speaker 5: Of service on November.

Speaker 15: There's been a lot of talk about Texas Avenue medians,
28:35
Speaker 15: so I checked the record. In 21, Bobby voted for
28:38
Speaker 15: Resolution 3950, a $ 2 million raised median improvement along Texas Avenue.
28:42
Speaker 15: In 22, he went further, making the motion to approve

Speaker 15: an agenda containing another agreement for the Texas Avenue Raised
28:48
Speaker 15: Median Project. Those are the votes.
28:49
Speaker 23: That's the record.
28:50
Speaker 15: If voters approve the median initiative this November, I'll work
28:52

Speaker 8: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
29:36
Speaker 8: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
29:40
Speaker 8: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
29:44
Speaker 8: as written so the rules don't change depending on who
29:46
Speaker 8: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
29:50
Speaker 8: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
29:53
Speaker 8: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
29:58
Speaker 8: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
30:01
Speaker 8: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
30:04
Speaker 8: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
30:08
Speaker 8: the people. That means judges should be accountable, rules should
30:11
Speaker 8: be clear, and the system should be accessible to those who.
30:14
Speaker 9: Rely on it.
30:15
Speaker 8: For Blacklock, equal justice means more than a principle. It
30:19
Speaker 8: means a court system Texans can understand. trust and afford
30:22
Speaker 8: to use chief justice jimmy blacklock clear rules accountable courts
30:28
Speaker 8: equal justice under law.

34:33
Speaker 1: Polling in the race for Senate is getting closer and closer.
34:37
Speaker 32: The number of undecideds is shrinking. Texas GOP Chairwoman Dorinda
34:41
Speaker 32: Randall says that supporters of Senator Cornyn are realizing what
34:45
Speaker 32: a Democrat win would do to the state.

Speaker 3: Texas more.

Speaker 1: More news throughout the day or anytime at WTAW.com. I'm
35:08
Speaker 1: Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
35:14
Speaker 33: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
35:18
Speaker 33: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
35:22
Speaker 33: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
35:26
Speaker 33: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
35:28
Speaker 33: and get taxpayer-funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a state
35:32
Speaker 33: income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
35:36
Speaker 33: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
35:40
Speaker 33: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
35:43
Speaker 31: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
35:47
Speaker 31: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
35:50
Speaker 31: drug cartels.
35:51
Speaker 1: He banned a state income tax.
35:53
Speaker 31: So you keep more of your money and Texas remains
35:55
Speaker 31: number one in job creations. And Governor Abbott keeps you
35:59
Speaker 31: safe by fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals
36:02
Speaker 31: locked up.
36:03
Speaker 1: That's the choice, Texas.
36:05
Speaker 31: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
36:08
Speaker 31: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.
36:10
Speaker 1: Political ad paid for by Texans.
36:12
Speaker 5: For Greg Abbott.

36:32
Speaker 5: all the way through next, like, well, this coming Thursday,
36:36
Speaker 5: like a solid week, there might be.
36:39
Speaker 1: I haven't really delved into it, and it could have
36:41
Speaker 1: been just the junk that pops up on social media.
36:45
Speaker 1: I did see some potential. Somebody mentioned potentially a Pacific
36:48
Speaker 1: hurricane off the coast of Mexico.
36:50
Speaker 11: Oh.
36:50
Speaker 1: And when we get that, just like we did our
36:52
Speaker 1: last rains, sometimes we can get some moisture there. That's beautiful.
36:57
Speaker 1: I'm not making a call on it yet. I haven't
36:59
Speaker 1: even really looked at the data. But just know.
37:01
Speaker 5: Just know. And minus that, it's the same forecast for
37:04
Speaker 5: an entire week. It's low to mid-80s for highs, down
37:07
Speaker 5: to the 50s at night. And it should be a
37:09

Speaker 5: optimism is refreshing and we love this and this is
39:13
Speaker 5: what i'm here for i.
39:15
Speaker 22: Have not turned into a two percenter just.
39:17
Speaker 5: Yet there you go very good uh so let's talk
39:19
Speaker 5: about when we talk about uh hazardous household waste let's
39:23
Speaker 5: start going through things in your house that might be
39:26
Speaker 5: sure perfect drop off this weekend.
39:28
Speaker 34: Sure so someone the things that i would consider household
39:31
Speaker 34: hazardous waste of course it has to be a waste
39:33
Speaker 34: which means you don't have the intention to use it
39:35
Speaker 34: yeah it needs to be something that's probably corrosive reactive
39:38
Speaker 34: has some sort of issue with it when you're utilizing.
39:41
Speaker 5: Anything you look at and think to yourself That probably
39:44
Speaker 5: doesn't belong in my regular trash.
39:47
Speaker 1: Typically, they have labels on them, but you're looking at
39:49
Speaker 1: things like household paints, paint thinners, fuels, oils, that sort
39:53
Speaker 1: of thing, right?
39:54
Speaker 29: Sure.
39:54
Speaker 22: Cleaners, chemicals, you start to get your eyes watery, maybe
39:58
Speaker 22: get a little rash on your skin while you're using it.
40:00
Speaker 5: I like to think of it in terms of, could
40:03
Speaker 5: you drink it? Oh, that's... That's a good one.
40:06
Speaker 1: If the answer's no. But don't experiment on yourself or
40:10
Speaker 1: anybody else.
40:11
Speaker 5: No, yeah, no, just, I'm not saying... Drink it. I'm
40:14
Speaker 5: saying look at it and think to yourself.
40:16
Speaker 1: Would I drink it?
40:18
Speaker 9: Yeah.
40:19
Speaker 5: Would this be a good idea? And if you think
40:21
Speaker 5: the answer is no, probably something for our fine friends
40:26
Speaker 5: out at Hazardous Household Waste. Yes.
40:29
Speaker 34: Also, don't consolidate your chemicals. Try and keep them in
40:32
Speaker 34: their leak-proof containers when you bring them out there.
40:34
Speaker 22: If they don't have labels, that's fine.
40:36
Speaker 5: Don't consolidate.
40:37
Speaker 22: Do not become a chemist.
40:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that sort of thing.
40:40
Speaker 5: Do people make a witch's brew and just bring it
40:42
Speaker 5: to you?
40:43
Speaker 1: You have no idea.
40:44
Speaker 5: I had this barrel that I've been dumping stuff into
40:47
Speaker 5: for six months. Does that happen? Look, a lot of people. Oh,
40:50
Speaker 5: my word.
40:51
Speaker 22: A lot of people do unknowns.
40:53
Speaker 34: Of course, if you've kept a container for a long
40:55
Speaker 34: period of time, you don't know what's in it.
40:57
Speaker 5: That's different.
40:58
Speaker 22: That is different.
40:59
Speaker 34: However, they will not accept your 55 gallon drums. At
41:02
Speaker 34: that point, you're almost looking like it's a potential commercial waste.
41:06
Speaker 22: They will not accept commercial waste. That's for businesses. Businesses
41:09
Speaker 22: can take care of their own waste. This is specific
41:11
Speaker 22: for our residents.
41:11
Speaker 5: That is a horrible idea.
41:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there are household cleaners that if you combine,
41:16
Speaker 1: they can be very- They will kill you. They create
41:19
Speaker 1: the same sort of gas they used in World War I.
41:21
Speaker 5: Yes, they can kill you.
41:22
Speaker 1: Pouring gas.
41:23
Speaker 5: Don't, don't. Okay, so yes.
41:25
Speaker 9: Sure, yeah.
41:26
Speaker 5: Great bit of advice.
41:27
Speaker 22: Don't do that.
41:27
Speaker 10: Don't do that.
41:29
Speaker 34: With acidic cleaners, that is where you get that noxious
41:32
Speaker 34: gas and your nose starts running and you start coughing.
41:34
Speaker 22: Don't do that.
41:35
Speaker 34: But here are some of the items that the HHW
41:38
Speaker 34: will not accept.
41:40
Speaker 10: All right.
41:40
Speaker 22: And that includes your household garbage. That's what my team
41:43
Speaker 22: is for.
41:43
Speaker 10: Yes.
41:43
Speaker 34: We run all the garbage services in the city limits
41:46
Speaker 34: for College Station. No medication, no tires, free on units. ammunition,
41:52
Speaker 34: radioactive waste, 55-gallon drum quantities, sharp support.
41:56
Speaker 5: Did you say radioactive?
41:57
Speaker 10: She did.
41:58
Speaker 5: Why is that on the list? I'm not saying that
42:00
Speaker 5: you should accept it. I know you shouldn't.
42:01
Speaker 22: I would be very surprised if people have radioactive waste.
42:04
Speaker 1: Sometimes medical waste can be radioactive.
42:08
Speaker 22: Sometimes you just need to state no radioactive waste.
42:11
Speaker 5: I feel like I put you on a no-fly list,
42:12
Speaker 5: but all of a sudden you just rolled up and
42:13
Speaker 5: I was like, you're just going to listen to drums.
42:16
Speaker 34: But from a solid waste standpoint, some of the items
42:18
Speaker 34: that we do want you to take to HHW instead.
42:21
Speaker 22: Of putting them in our garbage trucks.
42:23
Speaker 34: Have you ever actually seen a garbage truck catch on
42:25
Speaker 34: fire from a chemical fire?
42:27
Speaker 1: Not in person. I've seen lots of videos.
42:28
Speaker 5: I've seen the YouTubes of it. And yes, you have
42:33
Speaker 5: to think about this stuff because we have a whole
42:38
Speaker 5: crew of our friends and neighbors that their whole job
42:42
Speaker 5: is sanitation. That job involves going around to pick up
42:46
Speaker 5: your trash and putting it in a big truck. And
42:49
Speaker 5: as mentioned, yeah, it's, it's, there are things that you
42:53
Speaker 5: don't want to combine and there are certain, certainly things
42:55
Speaker 5: you don't want to combine and compress.
43:00
Speaker 22: You are correct.
43:00
Speaker 5: Because that's how explosions happen. That's how fires happen. And
43:05
Speaker 5: the reason we all say the worst, whenever something goes
43:08
Speaker 5: horribly wrong is we call it a dumpster fire. No
43:11
Speaker 5: one likes a dumpster fire. A dumpster fire is a
43:14
Speaker 5: bad thing.
43:15
Speaker 1: I'm not a firefighter. I've been around a lot. I
43:18
Speaker 1: would imagine that putting out a garbage truck fire is
43:21
Speaker 1: probably one of those where you go, man, this ain't
43:23
Speaker 1: the easy day.
43:24
Speaker 5: The way we get to less dumpster fires, at least
43:27
Speaker 5: these that we can control, is we participate in household
43:32
Speaker 5: hazardous waste twice a year, and we have a great time.
43:37
Speaker 5: And so everything gets taken care of and we don't
43:41
Speaker 5: and no one has to worry about it.
43:44
Speaker 10: Correct.
43:44
Speaker 22: So let me tell you where you need to go.
43:46
Speaker 5: Yes, please.
43:47
Speaker 34: So the HHW event again is tomorrow from 7 a.m.
43:50
Speaker 22: Till 2 p.m. Rain or shine.
43:52
Speaker 34: It's at the Texas A & M University Services building.
43:55
Speaker 34: The entrance is off of Harvey Road. The exit is
43:59
Speaker 34: on University Drive. You'll see big light up signs.
44:01
Speaker 22: You cannot miss it.
44:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's impossible to miss this event if you're driving
44:05
Speaker 5: down through that area. They will direct you. To where
44:08
Speaker 5: you need to go.
44:09
Speaker 34: And this is the best free event of the year
44:12
Speaker 34: specific for our residents. Again, it is free and we
44:14
Speaker 34: cannot wait to see you. We will wave at you
44:16
Speaker 34: at 7 a.m. and we'll have some fun.
44:18
Speaker 5: And again, I believe there is an audience of people
44:20
Speaker 5: that believe this is the best free event all year. Look,
44:24
Speaker 5: it's a great period. It's a great thing.
44:26
Speaker 6: Period.
44:27
Speaker 5: It is a blast.
44:27
Speaker 1: We got t-shirts. Do we have merch? We need some merch.
44:31
Speaker 5: Seriously, do we have merch? Can we get merch?
44:33
Speaker 22: I do not have merch.
44:34
Speaker 34: Although I have been given those little dumpster fire, like
44:37
Speaker 34: little boys that are like lining my office.
44:40
Speaker 22: So I just want to let you know.
44:41
Speaker 34: And I have little post-its that are flames in case
44:44
Speaker 34: you were curious.
44:46
Speaker 5: I like you.
44:46
Speaker 10: They do exist.
44:47
Speaker 22: They do exist, but I have not made them.
44:49
Speaker 6: For the public.
44:49
Speaker 5: That's too good. Colin, let's get to some other updates.
44:52
Speaker 5: What do we got, man?
44:52
Speaker 7: I want to give some of those to my Longhorn friends.
44:56
Speaker 4: Again.
44:56
Speaker 1: However, which one are you going to be, pot or kettle, right?
45:00
Speaker 5: Because we got a room going on. This isn't a comparison.
45:03
Speaker 5: I know Louie's going to say A & M is
45:04
Speaker 5: the biggest dumpster fire of a season. It's Texas. And
45:07
Speaker 5: it's going to get worse.
45:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, because of the expectation.
45:09
Speaker 5: They are going to get absolutely lit on fire this week.
45:13
Speaker 1: We hope so.
45:13
Speaker 5: Much like a dumpster.
45:14
Speaker 1: Much like it is.
45:15
Speaker 5: And it's just going to, anyway, Colin.
45:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, Colin.
45:18
Speaker 10: Continue, sir.
45:19
Speaker 13: Okay, tonight, the Parks and Rec Department is joining forces
45:23
Speaker 13: with the A & M Forest Service for Trunk or Treat.
45:26
Speaker 7: That is from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Wolfpin
45:28
Speaker 7: Creek Festival site.
45:29
Speaker 13: It's going to be a lot of Halloween activities, fun
45:31
Speaker 13: for the kids, all these activities, prizes. And best of all,
45:35
Speaker 13: they're going to be giving out free tree seedlings while
45:38
Speaker 13: supplies last. So, again, that's 5 to 8 at the
45:40
Speaker 13: Wolfpin Creek Festival site. And I also wanted to let
45:44
Speaker 13: you guys know that we have rebranded our government TV channel.
45:48
Speaker 13: We are no longer calling it Channel 19, although it's
45:51
Speaker 13: still available on Optimum Channel 19. It's now CSTV, and
45:55
Speaker 13: it's available as a free streaming app on Roku, Fire TV,
46:00
Speaker 13: Apple TV, iOS, and Android devices. So we have a
46:05
Speaker 13: lot better ways that you can watch that now on demand.
46:08
Speaker 5: This is a genuine question. Who came up with the
46:11
Speaker 5: term CSTV?
46:13
Speaker 7: Don't you think it's kind of natural?
46:15
Speaker 6: I mean, what would you have called it?
46:16
Speaker 1: No, it's good.
46:17
Speaker 5: I'm saying I would have called it that. I can't
46:20
Speaker 5: believe we've gotten this long where no one gets perfect.
46:22
Speaker 5: It's the perfect name.
46:23
Speaker 7: Well, we actually always called it really CSTV 19.
46:27
Speaker 6: Yes.
46:28
Speaker 7: And we just dropped the 19. Okay.
46:31
Speaker 5: But again, just the CSTV is the absolute perfect name.
46:36
Speaker 1: It's a day for rebranding.
46:37
Speaker 5: It is a day. It is absolutely right, Will.
46:40
Speaker 1: Because, you know, Colin, we rebranded this morning. We're no
46:43
Speaker 1: longer the Infomaniacs.
46:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're a new show.
46:46
Speaker 7: You're just the maniac.
46:47
Speaker 10: No, no, no, no.
46:48
Speaker 9: Here we.
46:52
Speaker 10: Go.
46:52
Speaker 9: Enjoy.
46:53
Speaker 25: Just let it go on high.
46:54
Speaker 5: Burrito and high.
46:58
Speaker 19: The sun is rising in the sky again.
47:01
Speaker 33: See?
47:01
Speaker 5: Wake up with your favorite. It's like the CSTV of
47:06
Speaker 5: community radio shows.
47:10
Speaker 10: Let it, let it, let it build.
47:23
Speaker 1: I mean, come on. What's better?
47:24
Speaker 5: I'm no McCartan, but what do you think?
47:28
Speaker 1: Maybe one day it could be Frito and Pie on CSTV.
47:32
Speaker 7: You're dismissing the plus, dude. Frito and Pie plus.
47:35
Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
47:36
Speaker 1: Is that a bundle package? Can we get that?
47:41
Speaker 5: Anything else this week?
47:42
Speaker 6: I think that's it.
47:43
Speaker 9: All right.
47:44
Speaker 5: We will post this in its entirety online at WTOW.com,
47:49

50:12
Speaker 27: always something bringing people together. That doesn't just improve our economy,

Speaker 5: Let's see. We have to get to Jennifer. who shares
52:16
Speaker 5: that it is going to be beautiful weather this weekend.
52:18
Speaker 5: And we hear the weather is also going to be
52:20
Speaker 5: beautiful in Tuscaloosa, Alabama this weekend. In fact, we're going
52:25
Speaker 5: to go check it out. There might be something else
52:28
Speaker 5: happening in the area. We'll have to wait and see. Jennifer,
52:31
Speaker 5: please report back on your Tuscaloosa experience.
52:33
Speaker 1: We'd love to hear what it was all about.
52:34
Speaker 5: I would love to hear a full review. When you
52:37
Speaker 5: return to town, it's always the most interesting thing to
52:41
Speaker 5: me is people who go on the road to the
52:43
Speaker 5: SEC cities and then see what their impressions are. Everyone
52:46
Speaker 5: has a different list of the ones they love. Like
52:48
Speaker 5: I particularly love Baton Rouge. You couldn't pay some people
52:51
Speaker 5: to go to Baton Rouge, per our conversation earlier. The
52:56
Speaker 5: travel advisory just says update your will, apparently.
52:59
Speaker 1: No, you confused that with Kenya.
53:01
Speaker 5: Kenya, update your will.
53:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, but safe travels to everybody who's traveling. And safe
53:07
Speaker 1: travels to everybody. It always amazes me on Friday nights,
53:10
Speaker 1: especially when I'm coming back from a road game, high school,
53:13
Speaker 1: how many people are on the road and traveling all
53:15
Speaker 1: over the state. It's just an astronomical number.
53:18
Speaker 5: It is the great Texas road trip every single Friday
53:21
Speaker 5: and Saturday.
53:22
Speaker 1: Not to mention the kids that are on buses and
53:24
Speaker 1: everything else. Just be careful out there, guys. It's a
53:26
Speaker 1: busy time.
53:27
Speaker 5: Text message from Jason. Will the revenue from the subscription
53:30
Speaker 5: to the bundle package involving CSTV and Frito and Pie
53:37
Speaker 5: streaming services help to cut my property tax?
53:39
Speaker 1: We haven't really gotten into the numbers yet, Jason, but
53:43
Speaker 1: anything is possible.
53:46
Speaker 5: I hadn't even crossed my mind this could be a
53:49
Speaker 5: revenue generator.
53:50
Speaker 10: Right.
53:50
Speaker 1: We're more from the artistic end of things, so we
53:54
Speaker 1: think about the content. We let the business people do
53:56
Speaker 1: the business.
53:57
Speaker 5: I would like to say, though, if Frito and Pie
54:02
Speaker 5: teaming up for a collab with CSTV could help alleviate
54:06
Speaker 5: our property taxes, I would agree. Gladly.
54:09
Speaker 1: By all means.
54:10
Speaker 5: Modern times require modern solutions.
54:13
Speaker 7: They do indeed.
54:14
Speaker 5: They absolutely do.
54:17
Speaker 1: What a day, man. What a day.
54:18
Speaker 5: What a day.
54:19
Speaker 6: Great week.
54:20
Speaker 5: Great day today. And obviously, one more plug. If you
54:25
Speaker 5: are going to vote early... It's another perfect day to
54:29
Speaker 5: stand out and do that.
54:30
Speaker 10: You can.
54:30
Speaker 1: And there are Saturday hours available, too, at certain locations.
54:34
Speaker 9: There are.
54:35
Speaker 5: Always good to beat the crowd. So go participate if
54:39
Speaker 5: you are so inclined. And we will see you back
54:42
Speaker 5: on the radio on Monday, 1620-945-WTAW.
