  Speaker 4: married a six-year-old little girl and consummated the marriage at nine.

• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Getting up to the low to mid-90s as far as
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: temperatures go. But it feels like it's going to be much,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: much hotter than that. 105 for the heat index today,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: down to 76 tonight. Back up to mid-90s tomorrow. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: then just repeat that all the way. through the end

  Speaker 5: of the week. Weather's brought to you by Malik's Service

• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I believe I've an accurate description for our weather currently.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: We are in weather purgatory.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Warm.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Really humid, just shy of hell.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just not pleasant, which I guess makes it... I
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: guess a little counterproductive if you are trying to get
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: into the Halloween frame of mind.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know. I think we're pretty used to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the fact that Halloween here can be any one of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: about 47 different weather varieties.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I remember when I was a kid, we were doing
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: a Halloween. I think we were doing one of those
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: fall festivals for the school I was at. Part of
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: it was like a haunted hayride. And so they had
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: all the kids kind of get in costumes. It was
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: 35 degrees for some reason at that haunted hayride. It's
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: still one of the coldest memories of my life.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: It is either parka weather or you've got to modify
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: your costume so that you don't die.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: You heard of this Walmart employee that was complaining about
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: customers already dying? Looking for Halloween costumes.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It's their own fault.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: They had a real problem with this. Let's see what
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: she has to say.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: This guy that came up to me with his.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: He has to say.
• 7:21
  Speaker 16: Sonny, he said that he was just looking for a
• 7:22
  Speaker 16: Flash costume for him for Halloween. And I told him
• 7:24
  Speaker 16: that they're going to have him at the front of
• 7:25
  Speaker 16: the seasonal section where the rest of the Halloween stuff at.
• 7:28
  Speaker 16: He looked at me and was like, we just checked
• 7:29
  Speaker 16: from over there and all we was able to find
• 7:30
  Speaker 16: was Spider-Man and Batman costumes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Can you double check?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, cool.
• 7:33
  Speaker 16: So I went on my phone and check and see
• 7:34
  Speaker 16: if they had any Flash costumes for him. After I
• 7:36
  Speaker 16: got done looking it up, it said NA not available
• 7:38
  Speaker 16: on my phone. And I showed him like, oh, maybe
• 7:40
  Speaker 16: they haven't stocked them up yet. Maybe for right now,
• 7:42
  Speaker 16: all they got is the Batman and Spider-Man costumes until
• 7:44
  Speaker 16: they bring these out. Then he want to say, but
• 7:45
  Speaker 16: what if they don't have it later on? That's why
• 7:47
  Speaker 16: I'm trying to get it right now. That's why I'm
• 7:48
  Speaker 16: asking you. Is there a way you can bring it
• 7:49
  Speaker 16: out faster before anybody else buy it? I'm like, sir,
• 7:51
  Speaker 16: how can I bring out the Flash costume when I
• 7:53
  Speaker 16: literally just told you a bunch of times that we
• 7:55
  Speaker 16: don't have the costume anywhere in the store?
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Two things. Number one, less caffeine.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe switch to decaf.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Much less caffeine is needed here.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Well, he sounds young, so energy drinks in general.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Whatever.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Just maybe wean your way off of them. Second, it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: not that unusual to be looking for Halloween costumes for
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: your kids early.
• 8:17
  Speaker 17: No.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Because your kids are going to come to you, youth,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: and they're going to say, I want to be this person.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: I want to be this character. And you know that
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: you got to go out and scope these things ASAP
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: because we've all tried to be late to the game,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: shop for Halloween costumes. That is a bad place to be.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I blame retail because retail is, you know, they've started
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: rolling out Halloween stuff. It used to be you could
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: get a little break between holidays. Now it's not even
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: close to that. Lowe's started putting out Halloween stuff a
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: month ago.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. Now I was in Lowe's. Man, I need
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: to post this video. I was in Lowe's. I think
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: this was last weekend. It's probably gotten bigger than that.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: It's grown like kind of a fungus. It starts out
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: and you just have one animatronic, then it turns into
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: three and five, and then it starts exponentially growing. Now
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: it's taking over sections, right? Like, I was going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: look for some, like, manual sprinklers, because I have dead
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: spots in my lawn. Want to fix it. The manual
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: sprinkler section got ate by the Halloween section.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The Halloween board.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Now it's a completely different play. The Halloween board.
• 9:33
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: It's one giant hive mind of animatronics. That's what it
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: turns into. And you're right. You know, you gotta, you gotta,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: if you put them in stores... you know you know
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: you got to start shopping.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But yeah the kids perspective is they start seeing all
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: this and they're like mommy daddy i want to be
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: whatever for halloween and you can't break little timmy's heart
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: yeah you got to try to find what got it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: what they.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Want and there's only so many spirit halloweens that are
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: around man and you know they get overrun.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, Lord.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Bigly.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And a lot of the spirit Halloweens here, shall we say...
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: They've got the kiddie costumes, but they kind of cater
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: here maybe to the college students.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Guys, there's a whole strategy.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: There's a whole hussy section in there.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: There is. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: you ever meet some people that run Spirit Halloweens, and
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: I have.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: An interesting group of people, kind of like carnies. Really?
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: They have everything. They have their stock, and then they
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: get rid of it. There is, like, so you have
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: to go early if you're trying to get the goods. Now,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: once you do get the goods, then you have the
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: separate question. Sure, you have to buy it early. But
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: when do you start putting it up? When can you
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: erect your Halloween display in your yard? Notice I said
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: in your yard because in your house, I don't see it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I don't see it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Or in your office. Or your office. Because we know
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: people here in this office that probably have started.
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: Here?
• 11:04
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: In the building?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: See, that's the thing. I've always been an October 1st person.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: It's the month of October. I don't think you should
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: be shortchanged. You should have a solid month to celebrate Halloween.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: You start putting.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Stuff up in September, that's a little bit aggressive. Maybe
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: tail end of September you'd give a little leeway there.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: I don't even know. I'll give you some grace because
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: I'm going to assume maybe you had something going on later. Sure, fine.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: But I do feel that there are people that are
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: out there that they go and they buy the stuff,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: and immediately it goes up, probably right at the beginning
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: of September, and then it's like 60 days of Halloween. Dude,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: that is a lot.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Well, there are those folks that really go all out,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and I've been to several of them here in town. Oh, really? Right?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The people that really, really go all out.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Where are the good houses?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: So over kind of off William D. Fitch, off the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: east side of 6, over there in those neighborhoods and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: towards Pebble Creek.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Okay, some big players out there in South College Station.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: When I lived over there, there was one in one
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of those neighborhoods that was kind of in a little cul-de-sac,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and they would have a hearse and a haunted yard.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: A hearse?
• 12:21
  Speaker 18: Oh, yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. People that go all out like that. I'm
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: saying I'm cool with you putting it up early because
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I know how much work it takes to get there.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Exactly. There's a right.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: And as far as I'm concerned, you don't have to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: break it down the day after Halloween.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Let that sucker ride.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying, you know, I know I understand
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it's going to take a week to take that day.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: I can only imagine what it's like to run one
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: of those houses and then get. through Halloween from all
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: the trick-or-treaters? You probably are genuinely exhausted.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I would guess. You have to do it for
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the love of it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Text message. Is there a business in College Station that
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: offers porch decorating for Halloween? Now, I've seen businesses in
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: bigger cities that do the house decorations for Halloween like
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: they do for Christmas. There are?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I remember us talking about this last year.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: This is brilliant.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And I have, I don't remember the name of any
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: of the companies, but I believe that there was one
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: maybe out of the Brenham area. And this lady had,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, tons of employees there. And her business had
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: quintupled or whatever. You know, it was a huge business
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and a great idea. And they will do the fall.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It's the fall decorating, not the Halloween. Fall decorations.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Because I just want my house to look like fall.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I don't want spooky stuff necessarily. I mean, maybe a
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: little bit, but that's more for the inside. I just
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: want a fallscape. And you just pay someone, they'll show up,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: and it'll happen, and then it'll go away.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, Lord.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: That's how you do it. And it was a huge business.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Text message.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: FYI for the guys out there, that lady with the
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: flash costume issue, she's single. Okay. You know.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Whatever floats your boat. There is a lid for every.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Pot, as they say. Speaking of food, David, who's on
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the pit this morning.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, do we have an update from our guys at
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: the grill?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Time to add the St. Louis ribs to the pit.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, David!
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: The beef ribs are getting lonely.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: You know, we're going to call you later on in
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: the show. We're just going to get your full lineup,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: because I feel like this is just the beginning of
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: a full day of grilling for you, and I want
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: to know what else.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: He's on the pit. He's smoking, so he's got some
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: pork ribs and some beef ribs. I'm going to bet
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that there's some beans on David's menu.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: He's always got a bean recipe.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: He'll probably just kill it. I'm sure of that. I'm
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: going to also guess that there's perhaps, you've got to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: have some of the acid in there, so I'm going
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to think that maybe he's got a coleslaw or maybe
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a deviled egg.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: See, I don't know. I was feeling potatoes. I feel
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: like potato.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Salad would fit that.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Because you've got a beef rib. Potato salad goes really
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: good with it. That's a really.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Pretty solid choice there.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: All right. We're going to... Oh, yeah.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: He's still texting. Oh, Lord.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Is this you?
• 15:05
  Speaker 20: Is this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Infomaniacs, good morning. You're on the radio. What you got?

  Speaker 5: Are you laboring today, or are you kicking back?
• 15:21
  Speaker 19: Actually, I'm snoozing big time, but I knew I had
• 15:24
  Speaker 19: to labor my laundry. I had to wash my clothes. Otherwise,
• 15:29
  Speaker 19: I won't have no clothes, you know?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants that.
• 15:33
  Speaker 19: It's got to be done, you know? But I'm telling you,
• 15:36
  Speaker 19: those games were fantastic this weekend, this past weekend. And,
• 15:42
  Speaker 19: you know, it's just, I just appreciate y'all working the
• 15:45
  Speaker 19: day on Labor Day, okay? Labor, non-Labor Day.

• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: At Dean and Draper Insurance, we can't promise to solve

• 18:46
  Speaker 5: you got cooking today, which I love. I would expect
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: nothing less.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And I suspect that there was a lot of it
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: that went on on Saturday and Sunday because of the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: football games. But today, I don't know if anybody's getting
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: into the long smokes today, but it looks like it
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: because David, who's texted with us earlier today.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, David, if you joined the show earlier, he started
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: the show with us letting us know that he had
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: been up since 4 smoking some prime beef ribs. Then
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: he shared with us his beer choice was Corona Fresh
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: with Lime and Corona with Fresh Lime. And now he's
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: throwing on racks of St. Louis ribs to get going.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: And I said, we said, hey, this feels like You're
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: working in stages, my man.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking sides.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Call us and give us the full menu. And then
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: he drops Filipino Lechon at 9 a.m., which I said,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: is that a sausage? It's not a sausage.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: No, no. Well, it's not a sausage in the traditional sense.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: He's got a whole hog on the pit, ladies and gentlemen.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Going for that crispy skin. Little cracklings. That's good stuff.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Good stuff.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Frank says we have foul menu today. Foul menu. Yeah,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: we are grilling chicken and dove because Frank hit his
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: limit yesterday.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Congratulations, Frank. Well done, Frank. Yeah, I had a good
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: one on Saturday. Lots of people reporting lots of birds
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: And with that said, let's take a look at what
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: everyone else is going to have. This is the State
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: of the Grill. For Labor Day.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: So, again, it got some... This is a little too late, probably,
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: if you're trying to plan.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Not for grilling.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: You've got to have your game... Yeah, for... For grilling.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Now, for long-term smoking, you're past the brisket point if
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you want to eat it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're done. You're done. But, you know, you still
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: grill up some moose burgers.
• 20:28
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Moose burgers. Because in Alaska.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: That is apparently one of the most popular items this year.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Moose burgers and obviously salmon halibut. I mean, they got
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: salmon for days.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love a smoked salmon.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Salmon falling out of the trees.
• 20:41
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And a moose burger, you know, I've never had the opportunity.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I would. I would. I would eat one.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Grilled gator is a surprising entry on the Florida menu.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Surprising entry?
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be that high.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Any place from our eastern border all the way to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the ocean, although southern states, I would not be shocked
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: with gator being on the menu.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: Bison in Wyoming, killing it this year.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never really, I've had a lot of buffalo.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I've never really had buffalo that I went, wow, this
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: is better than beef. No, it's not there for me.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: Now, I remember if you want to share what you're
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: what you're preparing today or what you prepared over the weekend. Yeah. Nine, nine, six, nine, five.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And I don't tell you, I don't know what your
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: schedule is for the rest of the day.
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: Oh, man.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But I could be talked into showing up.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: I don't mind making a tour of some of you guys.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: A little pit stop. Absolutely.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: We're just saying we would consider invitations.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah. One hundred percent. And we're not we don't it
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: doesn't take much to motivate us. No. So let's keep
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: that in mind. Montana, also big on the bison. They
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: throw on elk.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Steaks, too.
• 21:53
  Speaker 18: Now, elk.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. That's good eating.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Let's see. Oh, Colorado. Obviously, the usuals in Colorado.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: They also like them some elk steaks.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: But on the list for most popular items for Labor
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Day in Colorado is the Rocky Mountain.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Did you hiccup or did you just almost throw up
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: in your mouth?
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just trying to get past that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had them?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: No, never.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 22:23
  Speaker 15: No.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Remember there was a time, and I can't remember, I
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: think it was the Miller Lite here, what we're going
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: to put on a festival.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: They did have a festival.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: It was a calf fry festival, and it just didn't,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: it's just, I get it. I get it. There's a
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: lot to overcome.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: There is.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: With that particular cut of meat.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: That has to be an already established... I think it
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: would be hard to create a new one of those.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: But there are plenty of old school established. And I
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: remember that event. And I remember that those might have been...
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: The second best ones I've ever had.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: I was told that they were very passionate about it. No, no, really,
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: it's going to be good. Trust us. The food's going
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: to be great. And I have no doubt that they're not.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: It's hard. It's hard to get people to branch out.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I had some in Nebraska at a restaurant called Oli's.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: The best I've ever had. And maybe second or third
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: on the list, I had some at the Big Tex
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: in Amarillo.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, they have them at.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got them there. You won't see me taking
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: on the Big Tex eating challenge.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: You go to the Big Tex with that one thing.

• 24:51

• 25:27
  Speaker 13: On this Monday, a new survey from Quinnipiac College in
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: Connecticut says about 23% of Americans are proud of their heritage.
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: That's a so-so number. It's not catastrophic. And, you know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 13: we have a lot of loons in our society.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of people who are alienated.
• 25:50
  Speaker 13: We have socialists. We have communists.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: We have fascists.
• 25:55
  Speaker 13: We have criminals. So 23% not really liking their American
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: status isn't crazy. Most of those people, however, are between
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: the ages of 18 and 24. Now, I went through
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: the Vietnam War situation. I saw the protests. Many of
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: those that were so anti-government during the Vietnam War are
• 26:26
  Speaker 13: now conservatives. Because as you get older, you see the
• 26:30
  Speaker 13: world differently. Not all. I still have friends that are
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: hippies at heart, and they don't like the government or
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: whatever it may be. But most Americans kind of graduate
• 26:46
  Speaker 13: in their thinking. And I'm not very worried about this poll.
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: I do believe you should love your country because we
• 26:57
  Speaker 13: are a noble nation.
• 26:59
  Speaker 20: Back in a moment.
• 27:01
  Speaker 13: When you need medications, you don't have any time to
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: fool around.
• 27:04
  Speaker 20: You know that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: Whether it's for allergies, the flu, daily prescriptions, having what
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: you need on hand in the house is a must.
• 27:15
  Speaker 13: That's why I recommend All Family Pharmacy. They handle everything

• 37:01
  Speaker 5: There's certain jobs.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you do. There's certain jobs you
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: look at and you go, dang, brother.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: I'll add to the list. HVAC guys.
• 37:10
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: The HVAC. I am in awe whenever I meet someone
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: that's an HVAC tech. Because just spending a third of
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: every year Essentially in an oven.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, just working in a literal oven is insane
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: to me. Same with plumbers. Our friends out there doing construction,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: big six, and construction and anything, home building in general.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Good Lord, see those crews out there every day.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had a hot job?
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: If I ever had a... Yeah, this is... 979-695-1620 is our...
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: If you've ever worked in the heat and you want
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: to tell us what you did, please let us know.

  Speaker 5: Or if you do it right now, we'd love to
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: give you a shout out. I've never... I have never
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: had one of those jobs ever. Now, I've been in
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: situations that were outdoors and very hot where it was
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: like I had to be out there for a while.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: It was a component of my regular job, but not
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: the same as... is having that be my only employment.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I've known a lot of guys that have, you know,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: came up roofing. Yeah. The hottest job I ever had
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: was the summer after I graduated at A & M
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Consolidated High School. I was on the crew that was
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: building the stands at the new Tiger Stadium. And... We
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: were putting up all of the seats, and so it
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: was like working in a giant reflector oven because all
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: that stuff was fresh.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: It's coming right back at you.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: And it was reflective.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: There's no dirt on it.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: No.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: There's no crud.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: No.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: It's probably hot enough to fry a burger on, too. Yeah.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of OSHA violations there.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah. You did what you have to do.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: You did what you did.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: That's why it's called Labor, and that's why today is
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: called Labor Day.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the Working Man Band.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the national anthem of the Working Man. It's a
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you still got it there. I noticed how you
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: walked that right up to the vocal post. Good job.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: I'll keep on working. A little bit of DJing back
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: in my day. But which state works the hardest?
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Which state does work the hardest?
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: It's like, again, like I said, we all work hard.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: but there are levels to this levels and some states
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: yeah a little bit better than theirs i will say
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: i am proud to announce that texas ended up in
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: the not the hardest working state But we ended up
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: in the good side, which is the hard-working states.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I would have figured.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: I want to say, I'll pull it up here just
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: so I can be accurate. We were the seventh hardest-working state.
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: We did get beat by Nebraska for what it's worth. Look,
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not out to try to pull corn out of you.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Very, very high agricultural economic state.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: South Dakota and North Dakota. The Dakotas were number one
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: and number two. In the hardest working states in the
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: United States.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: A lot of oil field up there right now.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Alaska was number three.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, survival.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: You got it, man. You're not just working for a
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: paycheck in Alaska. Alaska's trying to actively kill you. Everything
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: you do up there is work.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: As far as TV shows that are state-centric, I think
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Alaska far and away beats Texas.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: I think you, yeah. Well, Alaska has got the benefit
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: of the Discovery Channel.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Which is basically pure, I mean, pure marketing for, you know,
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: what that state is, which is just insane people, right?
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, you make some good money. Yeah, you can
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: go to Alaska.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: You could die.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: You might, you very well might die, but you can
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: make a buck up there. Yeah. You know, they'd love
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: to have you. You're going to have to be a
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: little bit insane, but there's that. Laziest states. Sorry, least
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: hardworking states.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Laziest.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: New York, 43rd. Laziest state.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I can see that.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: Pennsylvania.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Bunch of bums up there, you know.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: California, 44th.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Laziest. You could have picked, yeah.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Of course they're going to be.
• 41:28
  Speaker 10: Of course.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: Again, work smarter, not harder. And I'm sure that you
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: can talk to some of the tech bros and be like,
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: you don't understand how hard I work. Come on, man.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's not hardworking people in that state either.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: Nevada, 46. Ohio, somehow. I've always thought Ohio is a
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: hardworking state.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: You mean it's a Rust Belt sort of thing, right?
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I think part of it might not necessarily be how
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: hard the people there work. I think a big part
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: of it might be the fact that they have fallen
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: on hard times.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Because number 50 is Michigan. Michigan, dead last, the least
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: hardworking state. I know some hardworking people up in Michigan.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: If they had some hard work to do, they would
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: be doing it. But yet, here we are. We actually
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: fared way better than a lot of the South did. Florida, bleh.
• 42:24
  Speaker 13: 30.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: A lot of retirees there.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Golf course count as work.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Like if you're out there, you can work hard at golf.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. I mean, if you're, if you're, if you're
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: training for a tournament, you know, you're really taking it seriously.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: Is that same thing?
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 42:39
  Speaker 20: No.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Louisiana didn't do very well, but.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Is the party at the retirement community considered work?
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: That's setting it up.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: You can't have a party without a good party planning committee.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Who's going to bring the cups? Who's going to bring
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: the plates?
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: We asked about your hot weather jobs. And a few
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: of you guys have texted, I'm a land surveyor. Oh, Lord,
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: we forgot about land surveyors and land men.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: And this is David, by the way.
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is Pork Belly David.

• 43:21
  Speaker 5: a door manufacturer, one board at a time. That was
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: his high school summer job.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Mike has a work ethic now because of that, I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: guarantee you.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: You were as hard, as tough as a $ 2 steak, man.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: One summer in high school, I was a stalker at
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Winn-Dixie at Southwest Parkway in Texas Avenue. And so- we
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: would have to unload trucks that had been out there
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: parked in the bay all day long when we got
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: there at night.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: That is very bad. That is hard work. That is hard,
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: hard work. Shannon, I hauled hay.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, Shannon.
• 44:01
  Speaker 24: Hauling hay, Shannon, layered hot mixed asphalt, installed gal volume roofing,
• 44:09
  Speaker 24: and did hard banding on.
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: Drill pipe for the oil field. This is a man who,
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: if he went to hell, He would think it was
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: a vacation.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: That man, I bet his boots.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: He'd be like, man, maybe we can turn the air
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: AC up a little bit. What are you guys doing?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I can picture. Showing up with long sleeves. I can
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: picture Shannon's boots. I know exactly.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: I've got an image. How many boots has Shannon gone
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: through is the question. Worn out.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about. Worn out.
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not needed a different style. How many just fell
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: off of your feet at some point and you needed
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: a new pair? Now, salute to everyone who is out
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: there doing that every single day. Enjoy your rest. We'll
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: be back after this.
• 44:48
  Speaker 25: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 44:50
  Speaker 25: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs

  Speaker 25: How would you like to give your teenager a great
• 45:31
  Speaker 25: gift in honor of this day? Now, I know what
• 45:34
  Speaker 25: you're thinking. Who hands out presents on Labor Day?
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Well, don't worry.
• 45:39
  Speaker 25: This one will fit right in. And that is to
• 45:42
  Speaker 25: give your child the gift of hard work. Hi, this
• 45:45
  Speaker 25: is Jim Daley with Focus on the Family. To successfully
• 45:48
  Speaker 25: navigate adulthood, kids must learn the value of hard work.
• 45:53
  Speaker 25: I'm sure it'll come as no surprise to you that
• 45:55
  Speaker 25: teenagers gravitate towards what's fun. And that's why they'd rather
• 45:59
  Speaker 25: play video games than take out the trash. But as
• 46:03
  Speaker 25: we all know, being an adult isn't always fun. Sometimes
• 46:07
  Speaker 25: it simply takes hard work. And that's where parents come in.
• 46:11
  Speaker 25: Many kids want to be successful at something without striving
• 46:15
  Speaker 25: to earn it. They give up learning an instrument because
• 46:17
  Speaker 25: it's too hard. Or they run from the discipline it
• 46:21
  Speaker 25: takes to.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Develop athletic skills.
• 46:23
  Speaker 25: If something isn't fun, they'll ditch it. But that's a
• 46:27
  Speaker 25: mindset that'll hamper their potential to succeed in their adult years,
• 46:31
  Speaker 25: whether it be in the workforce or in marriage. They
• 46:34
  Speaker 25: need to learn that they can only be as successful
• 46:37
  Speaker 25: as their willingness to work hard and invest themselves. Labor
• 46:42
  Speaker 25: Day celebrates the contributions of American workers who devote their
• 46:46
  Speaker 25: labor toward building a stronger society. So parents, let this
• 46:50
  Speaker 25: day serve as an inspiration to instill within your kids
• 46:54
  Speaker 25: the value of hard work. For Focus on the Family,
• 46:58
  Speaker 25: I'm Jim Daley.
• 46:59
  Speaker 17: The following is not an actor, but a real-life story
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: from Trinity Debt Management.
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: Every day I speak with people who are worried and
• 47:07
  Speaker 14: are feeling a lot of pressure because of credit card debt.
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: That's why I'm very proud of what we do at Trinity.
• 47:14
  Speaker 14: We just help. We give people the support they need
• 47:17
  Speaker 14: along with a real plan to become debt-free. Credit card

• 47:24
  Speaker 14: much less than what they were paying before. Most of
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: our members end up saving thousands and even may improve
• 47:31
  Speaker 14: their credit scores by as much as 200 points. I
• 47:35
  Speaker 14: know from the bottom of my heart that I'm making
• 47:37
  Speaker 14: a difference in the lives of the people we help.
• 47:40

• 48:11
  Speaker 6: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: on 1620-945-WTAW. This update is brought to you by Texas

• 48:30
  Speaker 5: The No.
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: 8 Aggie football team claimed their first win of the
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: 2026 season with a 50-0 shutout in Kyle Field on
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: Saturday night against the Missouri State Bears. The defense secured
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: its second shutout of the Mike Elko era and limited
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: the Bears to 67 yards of total offense. Head coach
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: Mike Elko recapped the game.
• 48:51
  Speaker 20: Obviously good to go out there and get into Kyle
• 48:53
  Speaker 20: Field and get this thing started. Happy with how the
• 48:56
  Speaker 20: defense came out and played. I thought they played to
• 48:59
  Speaker 20: the level that we hoped they would. We challenged them
• 49:01
  Speaker 20: this week. Obviously last year I don't think we started
• 49:04
  Speaker 20: great in the first two games on defense and really
• 49:06
  Speaker 20: didn't play to our standard. So wanted to go out
• 49:08
  Speaker 20: and set a tone for who we wanted to be
• 49:10
  Speaker 20: on defense, and I thought we did that. Offensively we
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: took the opening drive, went down and scored, and then
• 49:15
  Speaker 20: obviously hit a little bit of a rut there through
• 49:18
  Speaker 20: the middle of the first quarter. and into the second.
• 49:21
  Speaker 20: But I thought we responded, scored before the half, and
• 49:23
  Speaker 20: then came out and put a bunch of touchdown drives
• 49:25
  Speaker 20: together in the second half. And so certainly be a
• 49:28
  Speaker 20: lot of things that we got to clean up on
• 49:29
  Speaker 20: that side of the ball. But I think by and large,
• 49:31
  Speaker 20: we handled it the way we needed to, especially in
• 49:33
  Speaker 20: the second half. And then it was good to see
• 49:35
  Speaker 20: the kicking game execute the way it did. We got
• 49:38
  Speaker 20: a couple guys go out there and make field goals.
• 49:39
  Speaker 20: It was great to get Asher Murray a chance. to
• 49:41
  Speaker 20: go out there and make one towards the end. And so,
• 49:44
  Speaker 20: you know, it was a good night.
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: Coach Elko also gave a shout out to the support
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: from the fans that made it out to game one.
• 49:50
  Speaker 20: Just want to end with just this, you know, thank
• 49:52
  Speaker 20: you to the 12th man, over 107,000 people. It's the
• 49:56
  Speaker 20: largest opening crowd in Texas A & M program history.
• 49:59
  Speaker 20: And so thank you for continuing to make this place really,
• 50:02
  Speaker 20: really special. And we'll continue to go to work and
• 50:05
  Speaker 20: try to become the team that we're capable of being.
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: Last Saturday's game was the 12th consecutive time that the
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: 12th man filled Kyle Field with over 100,000 fans. Up next,
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: the Maroon and White returns to Kyle Field on Saturday
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: to host Arizona State with an 11 a.m.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: Kickoff.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: And the contest marks the second meeting ever between the
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: Aggies and the Sun Devils. In high school football over
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: the weekend, A & M Consolidated traveled to Huntsville and
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: beat the Hornets 49-14. College Station came away with a
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: 30-27 win against Magnolia. Rudder beat Richmond 30-13 while Brazos
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: Christian had a shutout win of 56-0. Navasota came away
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: with a 56-28 win against Madisonville. Allen Academy ran away
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: with their game with a 67-22 win and Caldwell beat
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: Somerville 55-14. The A & M soccer team overwhelmed the
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: SFA Lady Jacks in last night's 4-0 victory at Ellis Field.
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth recapped the match.
• 51:06
  Speaker 27: Definitely wanted more. I think we weren't solving the spaces,
• 51:10
  Speaker 27: I think, as well as we could and should have.
• 51:12
  Speaker 27: And then I think the first 15, 20 minutes, our
• 51:14
  Speaker 27: tempo with the ball was pretty good. And then I
• 51:16
  Speaker 27: think it started to slow down and we were taking
• 51:18
  Speaker 27: too many touches and getting caught on the ball and
• 51:20
  Speaker 27: then jamming things into central areas. And then I think
• 51:22
  Speaker 27: we started to struggle to connect. So I think in
• 51:25
  Speaker 27: the second half, you saw our tempo was higher. Our
• 51:28
  Speaker 27: movement was better. We were finding spaces better. I thought
• 51:30
  Speaker 27: Emma came in and did a great job at right back.
• 51:33
  Speaker 27: stepping into the pocket, so I thought it looked better
• 51:36
  Speaker 27: in the second half.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: Coach Shuttleworth also talked about the things the Aggies need
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: to clean up ahead of starting conference play on Friday.
• 51:42
  Speaker 27: I think we got to continue to find rhythm with
• 51:45
  Speaker 27: the ball. I think we got to be, you know,
• 51:47
  Speaker 27: I think overall in the last few games, like obviously
• 51:49
  Speaker 27: we got a shutout tonight, which is really good, but
• 51:51
  Speaker 27: I think we've been giving away too many chances defensively.
• 51:54
  Speaker 27: Tonight was a good step forward, but I think we
• 51:57
  Speaker 27: need to get a little bit tighter in our defending
• 51:59
  Speaker 27: and limit chances.
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: Up next, the Aggies start their SEC slate on Friday
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: night when they travel to Kentucky to take on the
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: Wildcats in a 6-30 contest. The A & M cross-country
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: team kicked off the season with a home sweep in
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: the Aggie opener last Friday night at the Watts cross-country course.
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: The Aggies secured victories on both the men's and women's side,
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: finishing ahead of Houston, Baylor, and Texas A & M
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: Corpus Christi. A & M produced five top-five finishes, highlighted
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: by Jack Johnson's 5K course record of 14 minutes and

• 54:17
  Speaker 5: 1620, 94.5 WTAW. Not as bad as it has been. Purgatory.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: We're in weather purgatory.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: This is your forecast the entire week. Mid-90s for highs,
• 54:29
  Speaker 5: 70s for lows. Heat index is 105. Not quite blow
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: out your sunroof weather.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Have you heard of this?
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: The overwhelming increase... Okay, have you ever had a sunroof
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: explode on you? No, because I really, I bore sunroof. Yeah,
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: so they're becoming more popular. Now it's kind of like
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: everyone likes to have that big glass roof.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the greenhouse.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, I've had one before. It's not ideal, but people
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: just love it. The aesthetic is cool and whatever. Well,
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: it turns out these things explode in the heat. You
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: can get them hot enough to just where they just say, nuh-uh,
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: and then Boom. Maybe you're in it. Maybe you're not. But, yeah,
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: it's a problem.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: The South and the Southwest laugh at your testing procedures.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: Increasing like 550% since 2021. It's a big number. And, again,
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's– and some people say the other
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: thing that will happen is road debris, right?
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: Because, as we know, something flies up and hits your roof.
• 55:35
  Speaker 5: You've got a metal roof. You might ding it up
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: a little bit.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: But you're not going to be scattered shards of glass.
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: No, it's not coming through there. But unfortunately, if you
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: have one of these, it seems to be one of
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: the problems. The failures happen across all makes and models.
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: So it's not like it's a recall thing. It's just
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: you're not really supposed to have glass on your roof.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Engineers are like, yeah, we can do this. And then
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: nature's like, no.
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: Didn't stop to think whether you should. Yeah, exactly.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: That's how we get dinosaurs.
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: People driving in glass cars. Do not throw stones.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: I've been told when we had our incredibly horrific Jeep,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: the girls wanted to take the doors off. I'm like, no.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, have you seen road debris?
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: I've seen Final Destination enough to know that I don't
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: need to give death any help. I want to give
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: it a challenge. And that feels like I'm making the
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: game easier. I'm handicapping in death's favor.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: We're not advocating bubble wrap. We're just taking precautions.
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: Just things you should consider when purchasing your next vehicle.
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: 1620-945-WTAW College Station. Brian, good morning. 8 o'clock.
