  Speaker 1: The former Uvalde CISD police chief, Pete Ariando, is awaiting
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a February trial on child endangerment charges connected to the

• 1:27

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: GOP Senate hopeful Ken Paxton is caught on tape blaming
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: President Trump's midterm convention in Dallas. for hurting his campaign numbers.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: We're now hearing the secretly taped audio from a Ken
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Paxton fundraiser in Washington, D.C. last Thursday. Paxton can be
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: heard responding to a moderator asking him if President Trump
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: has been a drag on his campaign.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: He said, to be honest with you, the numbers when
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we did that convention, it dropped our numbers.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Everybody's numbers dropped.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Rice University political scientist Mark Jones says one major error is.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Paxton still desperately needs Trump's super PAC to come in
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: and spend much more than it already has.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: This could potentially antagonize the president.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Also that the comments could make President Trump's trip to
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Denton on Thursday a much more awkward experience for Paxton.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The Texas power grid has survived the summer with no problems.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Experts say a big reason we did not see any
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: rolling outages is due to a rise in battery storage.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: The technology is also being eyed by data center developers.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Texas energy policy analyst Giuliana Ghani says that batteries are
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: cheaper than building a natural gas plant.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So I think the economics do pencil out for battery investment,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and that's why they're doing it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Since 2023, the amount of battery storage on the state
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: grid has more than quadrupled. They charge during the day
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: and provide power as the sun sets. In San Antonio,
• 3:00

  Speaker 6: Oh, today, it is allegedly rain day. I feel good
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: So far, so good.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I've ruined it for us because I brought my raincoat
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to work. So it will not rain while we're here.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Okay, that's okay. 80% by this afternoon. 92 to 93
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: degrees for the high. And yeah, maybe even an inch
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: of rain is what they call it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Down to 73 tonight. Back up to, what are we
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: looking at tomorrow for a high? I don't even think
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: they gave me a high, dude. No, 84.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: 84.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: 84 for the high tomorrow. From the time I looked
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: at the radar this morning until now. Yeah. This has
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: definitely blown up significantly since then.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay, okay.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And it is, I would say it is just west
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of the I-35 corridor, and it is, I think afternoon
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is going to be there. Now, we do have some
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: stuff that is kind of blowing up from the south,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: moving up in front of the front, kind of if
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: it hits an outflow boundary or something. So we may
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: get some scattered stuff before the main event, but the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: main event is coming.
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay. Yeah, no, everything I've said says we will
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: see some action from this, and it should be very rewarding.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: So let's hold our breath and wait for this afternoon.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Weather is brought to you by our friends at Malik
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Service Center. Malik and Carrier remind you to check your
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: AC because a well-tuned AC will save you money and
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: keep you comfortable. Turn to Malik and Carrier to keep
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. I want
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: to talk about a couple of things this morning to
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: start out with, one of which is related to the
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: picture you sent me yesterday of the I I'm from Texas. Yeah,
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: I grew up here, born and raised here. I have
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: never resided in another state besides Texas. I went to
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: high school, obviously, in Texas. So homecomings are not not
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: unknown to me. Even at a small, tiny Christian school,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: we had homecomings and we had homecoming moms.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And they're a big deal. The moms were over the top.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: The moms were over the top.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I thought they were over the top when I was
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in school.
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: And so I noticed over the weekend, obviously, homecoming is happening.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: For Consola.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah. But in the past, we're starting to get through
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: the season.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: And I look and I'm seeing the pictures of some
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: of the moms this year. And I'm thinking to myself, oh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: you must have just found. the one craziest mom that
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: exists out there. That's not true.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: It's a level that I have not ever experienced before.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: The moms are bigger than the kids now. especially they
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: might be tiny girls. I don't know.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: My oldest daughter was dwarfed by moms. My, my, my
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: youngest is tall. She's she's five, eight, five, nine.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Um, she would have to be based on what I saw.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But moms, moms from when I was in school
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and I had, I had some advantages, right? My father
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: being the world renowned landscape horticulturist, he had an in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: with the Florida apartment at A & M and they
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: always did my moms and corsages.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: So basically you had like mutant, uh, yeah crazy.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It was there was almost like a competition jurassic park
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: who could design the one that i would pick yeah
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: right that you're they were.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: Writing papers about the mum yeah you would hand out and.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: They were fabulous but they were nothing compared to what's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: out there now and people do this not only like
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: established businesses but individuals we bought ours through an individual
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that we've we've known for quite some time and she
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: does amazing work who.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: Is Who are the individuals? Is it one lady? I
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: know there's a mom lady.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: She was sitting in the parking lot last night before
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the community pep rally with the back end of her
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: hatchback open and several moms back there.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: So she's the mom queen, basically.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: She's our mom queen.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: The queen mom, if you will. How many queen moms
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: are there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: In the area? I don't know, because you see them everywhere,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and I know.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: It's not a one-woman job.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I know that Rosie ain't cranking out that many.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: But, dude, these are at least, like, they're, like, five
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: feet tall now. And three to four feet wide.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ours has gotten wide. They shortened this one this
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: year compared to the ones that we had in previous years.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, did you say they shortened?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they went wider.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Oh, my word.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wider than my daughter.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Oh, my word.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And so I took the same picture and I sent it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I sent it to, we've got a little alert coming
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: on the phone.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: We can go ahead and, what is this?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: I won't worry about this later.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I took pictures of that and sent it
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to some friends who live in different states, and they
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: were like, I thought you were joking until I actually
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: saw your daughter's name is on there. No, that's not A.I., It.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: Did cross my mind that some of these might be AI.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: No, these are real. And somebody said, what do you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: do with it? I said, yes. They said, you can't
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: wear that. I said, no, you wear it for a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: few pictures.
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And then it goes into the closet. And sometime a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: decade or so from now, maybe I can convince my
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: wife that it's time to throw it out.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: So do they... No kids, don't know. Do they... they
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: wear these when they walk out. Cause you were doing
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: the walkout thing last night.
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: No. Yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So it was not last night. It was just presenting her,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: her dates, mom to him.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And, uh, which the dates mom is equivalent to what
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I used to give the girls back then.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: Right. Right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And maybe even I say equivalent, it outperforms that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But, So and then they take a couple of pictures
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: with them and then we take it back to the house.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: We we hang it in a special place for Saturday
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: night or Friday, whenever the dance is. Do you have to.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Have like a how do you transport that thing?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It's got a special hook and harness that you can

• 9:16
  Speaker 6: You guys are worried about data centers draining your water, huh?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: You're worried about the data centers getting to the bottom
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: of our water supply.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: This is one of those things where the wife has
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: not told me what she paid for this. Oh, God.

  Speaker 1: Now this, this is a, this is an engineering project

  Speaker 6: And if they choose... Explain to a friend why they
• 16:07

  Speaker 6: Yeah, you carried it with you, and if you got
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: in the mood to listen to some CDs, yeah, it
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: was a whole production, and you're doing it while you're
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: flying down the road.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then it complicated things when you had the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: six disc changer.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, see, I didn't like the six disc. I didn't.
• 19:25

  Speaker 6: pizza is probably better. As an update, I did not
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: get a chance to go to a Pizza Hut buffet yesterday.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Reason being, I am not sure... that the Hearn location
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: does actually have a buffet. I was getting mixed signals.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a lot of different information there.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: And also, I had to turn my car in, so
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: I was trying to catch an Uber from the dealership
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: in Hearn to the Pizza Hut. Good luck getting an
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: Uber in Hearn.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I was about to ask.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: That's not easy. So eventually I just gave up and

  Speaker 6: went home. But I have had several text messages saying
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: that the one in Caldwell is in fact the legit one.
• 20:23

• 29:05
  Speaker 1: But it gets worse.

  Speaker 19: James Tallarico voted to allow biological men access to women's
• 29:11
  Speaker 19: bathrooms in schools and for biological boys to play in

  Speaker 19: competition in sports.

  Speaker 1: President Trump's midterm convention in Dallas for hurting his campaign numbers.
• 32:25

  Speaker 3: been a drag on his campaign.

  Speaker 4: To be honest with you, the numbers in Texas, when
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: we did that convention, after it was found to.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Be numbers, everybody's had to be off.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: He said, to be honest with you, the numbers when
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: we did that convention, it dropped our numbers. Everybody's numbers dropped.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Rice University political scientist Mark Jones says one major error is.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: This could potentially antagonize the president.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Also that the comments could make President Trump's trip to

  Speaker 1: The Texas power grid has survived the summer with no problems.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Experts say a big reason we did not see any
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: rolling outages is due to a rise in battery storage.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: The technology is also being eyed by data center developers.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: Texas energy policy analyst Giuliana Ghani says that batteries are
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: cheaper than building a natural gas plant.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: So I think the economics do pencil out for battery
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: investment and that's why they're doing it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Since 2023, the amount of battery storage on the state
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: grid has more than quadrupled. They charge during the day
• 33:41

  Speaker 1: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 35:03
  Speaker 27: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 35:04
  Speaker 27: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 35:07
  Speaker 27: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 35:09
  Speaker 27: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 35:12
  Speaker 27: received a competitor's bid, which was five to ten times
• 35:14
  Speaker 27: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 35:17
  Speaker 27: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 35:21
  Speaker 27: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 35:24
  Speaker 27: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 35:28
  Speaker 27: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
• 35:32
  Speaker 27: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
• 35:34
  Speaker 27: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 35:36
  Speaker 27: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
• 35:39
  Speaker 27: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
• 35:42
  Speaker 27: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
• 35:46
  Speaker 27: full-time employees. Why pay more if you can get everything

  Speaker 28: What kind of home do.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: You live in? We live in a two-bedroom high-rise condo.
• 36:05
  Speaker 29: A three-bedroom family home.
• 36:07
  Speaker 23: In the suburbs.
• 36:08
  Speaker 25: A farmhouse on our family ranch passed down through generations.
• 36:12
  Speaker 28: It doesn't matter where you live or what kind of
• 36:15
  Speaker 28: home you have. You all have one thing in common.
• 36:18
  Speaker 28: Gina Hinojosa voted to increase your property taxes. Not once,
• 36:23
  Speaker 28: not twice, but 40 different times Gina Hinojosa voted to
• 36:27
  Speaker 28: raise your property taxes. If she has her way, you'll
• 36:31
  Speaker 28: be priced out of your own home. Gina Hinojosa is
• 36:34
  Speaker 28: too radical to be governor of Texas. Luckily, Governor Greg
• 36:39
  Speaker 28: Abbott has a better plan.
• 36:40
  Speaker 30: We have to stop the insanity and instead give you
• 36:45
  Speaker 30: a different property tax relief that will do more than
• 36:48
  Speaker 30: cut your property tax bill in half forever. You're going
• 36:51
  Speaker 30: to be able to live in your home for the
• 36:53
  Speaker 30: rest of your lives without being priced out of it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 28: Greg Abbott, governor.

  Speaker 6: We're the Infomaniacs. Good Lord, it is Thursday.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: And this week has just flown.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Dude, I don't even know what to say. It's such
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: a fast week. So much stuff going on. And it's
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: going to be a rainy weekend. So just know that
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: when you are making your plans. Today, 80% chance, mainly
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: in the afternoon. I think probably this afternoon is when
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: it gets fired up. And then we got 90% chance tomorrow.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: By tomorrow, the highs are only in the mid-80s. Thank
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: goodness for that. Looking at 90s. Today, weather is brought
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: to you by our friends at Malik and Carrier. In
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: the Texas heat, your air conditioner works overtime at a
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: well-tuned AC. It'll save you money and keep you comfortable.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: Turn to the experts at Malik and Carrier to keep
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Radar is currently saying, by the way, we are seeing
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: some stuff pop up kind of to our south between
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: us and Yoakum. And some of that may affect our
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: area here within the next hour or so.
• 38:03
  Speaker 27: That fast?
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: These are the things that are kind of in front
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: of the main event, which is still out west of I-35,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: moving into the I-35 corridor probably within the next couple
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: of hours. But this little pop-up stuff that's down south-southwest
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of us, that has a chance.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: And, by the way, if you are planning on heading
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: to San Antonio or Austin or somewhere like that today,
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: just be aware. A little goes a long way, especially
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: San Antonio. They get an inch of rain, they lose
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: their mind.
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: Also.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: They should. Yeah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: That's up fast.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Also be aware that there are some changes to the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: 150 celebration at A & M.
• 38:36
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: They've moved the sesquicentennial opening ceremony indoors to Reed Arena
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: as of right now.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: What did you sesquicentennial?
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Is that it? Yeah, 150 years. That's well done. Okay.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: And kick off at Kyle, which is yell practice. It
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: is not midnight yell. So the old joke of what
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: time is midnight yell is not at midnight this time.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: We're doing something special this time, boys. This will be
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: at Kyle Field at 9 o'clock. There will be a
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: drone and pyrotechnics show.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Had pyrotechnics last night at the community pep rally at
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the high school.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: What kind of, wait, they're pyro? Y'all had pyro at
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: the community?
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It was a nice firework show. People on the socials
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: were asking what the heck is going on on a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night. Well, you know, it's Texas. Yeah. So kind
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: of a big deal. So, yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: So as of now, you know, weather could change a
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: whole lot between now and then. We will try to
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: keep you updated.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Of course we will. That's what we do.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: Have you ever felt that someone else's phone use has
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: affected you?
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: Give me an explanation of this, because I'm reading a story.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: I'm struggling to see why this would be something that's needed.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: But the whole premise seems to be that other people.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: on their phones somehow. And I'll give you movie theaters,
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: easiest example, because it's a visual thing. You're in a
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: dark room and those things are lighting up like a blowtorch.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: I get that.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Well, any place in a public setting, I don't want
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: to hear your conversation, even half of it. Some people
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: that put that on the speakerphone and walk around holding
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: it in front of their face. So you're hearing both
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: ends of the conversation?
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: Okay, so speakerphone people.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I don't like that at all.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: Okay, I dig it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: But even if you're just having one end of a conversation,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: step away. It's not hard.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: Right, right.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Go someplace where you're not going to be disturbing a
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: mass number of people.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: Extract yourself from the environment. Does this happen often where
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: you'll see this? I'm pretty dense, dude. Frankly, I'm probably
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: the guy that does this half the time, so I
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: don't notice.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I see a lot of people without situational awareness in
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: a number of different ways.
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: That's how you put it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: But with this one in particular, I don't know if
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I've seen it more or less frequently over the past,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, couple of years. But I do see it,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: especially even if it's not somebody talking on the phone.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: It's the distraction. If I'm with somebody and they are
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: looking at their phone, and especially if it keeps them
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: from taking part in the conversation... No, that's rude.
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: Okay, I see that. People at the table.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: And it makes me feel like, and not just at
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: the table.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: What am I doing here?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: This could be on the couch with a family member
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: or with a friend or something like that. Yeah. What
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: it does is it says to me that you are
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: not interested in me, and that makes me question what
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I have to say, and that makes me question why
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: am I here.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: I think that makes sense.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Now, I'll tolerate it if somebody's picking up the tab.
• 41:28
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: Restaurants are looking at a new concept. No phones sections.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: And when I say sections, anyone that's our age and
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: older will remember the no smoking section of a restaurant
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: that they used to have. Kind of weird when you
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: think about it today, but they did have them. You
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: wanted to smoke. You went to the left. If you
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: want to not be huffing.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Everyone's smoke, move to the right. When you step up
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: to the front of the house there. Smoking or non-smoking.
• 41:58
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Used to do that on planes, too, believe it or not.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: That's even crazier. So now they're trying to work with
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: this to give people an opportunity to dine in a restaurant.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: A phone-free environment.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: Because when they say no phones at a restaurant tends
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: to cut down on business, they're wondering, well, can we
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: just get a section that's a no-phone section? I still
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: don't think that's going to work out the way you
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: guys think it is.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: No, I think as long as you're not dedicating a
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: ton of tabletops to it, because you don't want to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: lose business because of that. And I think it's good.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I think I would push for that. I'm sure I
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: would get pushed back. From, like, my family members.
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: That's what I was going to ask is, like, just
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: in general, do you think that that's something that would
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: work out well? Do you think that would be an
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: improvement if all of a sudden you went into a business,
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: a restaurant, wherever it was, and they said, okay, to enter,
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: you need to give up your phone and we all
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: have to actually converse.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Well, now, the whole restaurant, no, I don't think that's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: a good idea.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but even the section, I don't think it would
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: work out the way we think it would.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I think if you have a small section, I think that,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: number one, you'd get people talking about it, right?
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: That's okay. Yeah, let's not forget that. Yeah, perhaps it
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: brings some people into the restaurant.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: Maybe you can charge more. Add that to a fee.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Don't give them ideas.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: Back in a second.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: sponsor and friends at Producers.
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: It's time for you to plan your cattle feed and
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: mineral requirements for your winter feeding program.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Take advantage of bulk contract prices and place your order at.

  Speaker 8: 17th at Producers Cooperative.

  Speaker 1: Everything nutrition since 1943.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Blessed be the gardener with a home hobby greenhouse, for
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: he or she knows not the agony of wintertime. That's
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: a direct quote. Actually, it's a quote from me. It's
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: poor literary style, perhaps, but horticulturally the thought is on target.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Greenhouses extend the growing season to 12 months a year.
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: There are great ways to start your own transplants and
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: to overwinter your prized collection of tropicals. However, not all
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: home greenhouses have been created equally. Let's take a discussion
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: of the decisions you'll need to make in the hopes
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: that this will be the year you finally take that plunge.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: I'll be back with details on home hobby greenhouses after
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: this message. Do you have a problem with unwanted insects
• 44:34

• 45:28
  Speaker 4: control you can count on. Find your local dealer at Fertilome.com.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: If you're planning a home hobby greenhouse, you need to
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: start with a suitable location. Morning sun, afternoon shade would
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: be ideal. Most of the plants you'll be growing will
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: need at least a certain amount of direct sunlight. You
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: can always add shade with special plastic greenhouse fabrics and
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: cheesecloth on the inside or wooden slats, what you cannot
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: add is sunlight. So position your greenhouse carefully. Once you've
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: decided where you expect to place it, make sure the
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: greenhouse passes all the city building codes. It's not a
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: lot of fun to discover weeks or months later that
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: you're in some serious violation and that the greenhouse will
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: have to be taken down or moved a few inches.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Consider your various options in construction materials. If the structure
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: will be in your backyard, visible to many rooms in
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: your house, consider building it out of glass it may
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: cost a good bit more but it will look better
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: longer in fact properly maintained a quality glass greenhouse should
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: last for many decades and it could be a handsome
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: part of the backyard landscape there are several forms of
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: plastic on the market now as with old-fashioned fiberglass these
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: may deteriorate with prolonged exposure to sunlight ask your hardware
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: or lumber dealer for any particulars of the product life's
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: expectancy These various coverings can often cost almost as much
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: as glass, so be sure you're getting your money's worth. Finally,
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: if your greenhouse will be located out of the line
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: of sight, you might consider a double-walled plastic covering. That's
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: what large commercial growers use. They're lightweight, fairly inexpensive, and
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: easily constructed. On the other hand, they're not much to
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: look at. You want to determine the widths of your
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: benches or tables as you decide on the dimensions of
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: the greenhouse. You normally don't want them wider than 42
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: inches if you're reaching from one side or 48 inches
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: if you're able to reach from both sides. The aisles
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: should be as narrow as possible because you're having to
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: heat and cool those areas as well. You don't want
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: to rob from your plant growing possibilities. Remember as you're
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: sizing and pricing your greenhouse options that small hobby greenhouses
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: can really be difficult to cool properly. They have such
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: a small volume of air that the temperatures can fluctuate wildly.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: A 10 by 20 foot greenhouse is about the minimum. Oh,
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: and you want to make sure that you have a
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: really functional heat source and you have a backup heat
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: source in case one doesn't work properly. I'm Neal Sperry.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: Turn on to spring bulbs in our next Plant Talk Texas.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Until then, happy gardening.

  Speaker 29: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 49:02
  Speaker 29: on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie soccer team is on the road tonight,
• 49:07
  Speaker 29: continuing their SEC play journey against the Georgia Bulldogs. Head
• 49:11
  Speaker 29: coach Bobby Shuttleworth recapped the Aggies' recent loss to Florida
• 49:15
  Speaker 29: and the adjustments the team needs to make ahead of
• 49:17
  Speaker 29: taking on the Bulldogs.
• 49:18
  Speaker 32: I think looking back at it, obviously the first half,
• 49:21
  Speaker 32: not a good performance. I thought second half we did
• 49:24
  Speaker 32: a much better job fighting, competing, being in good spots,
• 49:27
  Speaker 32: putting them under pressure, and I think that's going to
• 49:31
  Speaker 32: be our message all week is how well can we
• 49:34
  Speaker 32: stay together as a group, stay unified, do the things
• 49:36
  Speaker 32: we need to do, and ready and prepared to fight
• 49:39
  Speaker 32: and run and and be physical.
• 49:41
  Speaker 29: First kick for tomorrow night's game is set for 5.30,
• 49:44
  Speaker 29: and you can watch the game on SEC Network. The
• 49:47
  Speaker 29: A & M football team is just two days away
• 49:49
  Speaker 29: from kicking off their game against Arkansas on Saturday night.
• 49:52
  Speaker 29: Head coach Mike Elko shared thoughts on the evaluation process
• 49:55
  Speaker 29: of the program's performance over the first four games of
• 49:58
  Speaker 29: the season.
• 49:59
  Speaker 18: I think every evaluation has to start internal. I think
• 50:02
  Speaker 18: we start with who we are, what we're asking these
• 50:05
  Speaker 18: kids to do. I don't think, you know, it doesn't
• 50:08
  Speaker 18: show this way. Like when you get in a rut,
• 50:10
  Speaker 18: and you have consistent failure, it doesn't show that you're
• 50:14
  Speaker 18: trying to do things to fix it. We are actively
• 50:17
  Speaker 18: trying to do things to fix it. We've got to
• 50:19
  Speaker 18: continue to do it better. That's the obvious statement. But yeah,
• 50:23
  Speaker 18: you try to look at, okay, what are we doing?
• 50:26
  Speaker 18: How can we create confidence? How can we create better leverage?
• 50:30
  Speaker 18: How can we create ways while also in the back
• 50:33
  Speaker 18: of your mind knowing we can't recreate the wheel because
• 50:37
  Speaker 18: that will cause more damage? confusion and lack of execution
• 50:41
  Speaker 18: if all of a sudden we come in tomorrow and
• 50:42
  Speaker 18: say hey let's try to do this drastically different you
• 50:46
  Speaker 18: know and so you have to find ways within your
• 50:48
  Speaker 18: system within what you do but i do think there's
• 50:50
  Speaker 18: there's answers that we've got to.
• 50:52
  Speaker 29: Come up with coach elko also spoke about the position
• 50:55
  Speaker 29: groups that have been playing at an acceptable level this
• 50:58
  Speaker 29: season so far.
• 50:59
  Speaker 18: Special teams for sure and you know again like it's
• 51:02
  Speaker 18: hard You guys know me well enough. I'm not a
• 51:06
  Speaker 18: silver lining type of guy. That's not my nature when
• 51:08
  Speaker 18: things are going well. It certainly isn't my nature when
• 51:10
  Speaker 18: things are going bad. But I think if you look
• 51:12
  Speaker 18: at the way Tyler White's punting the ball, you look
• 51:14
  Speaker 18: at the way David Alano's kicking the ball, the way
• 51:17
  Speaker 18: we're covering things, those things certainly have taken positive strides.
• 51:22
  Speaker 18: I think the rest of it is a work in progress.
• 51:25
