- 5:31Speaker 6: That would be welcoming our friends from the Salvation Army,
- 5:34Speaker 6: including Ario. I guess we should say are new friends
- 5:36Speaker 6: from the Salvation Army because you guys are new.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Go ahead and get right up to that MICROPHONELL Kathy's
- 5:39Speaker 1: been in here.
- 5:40Speaker 6: He's been in here before, but this is major David
- 5:43Speaker 6: Swires correct and your brand new.
- 5:46Speaker 9: I've been here one month one?
- 5:48Speaker 7: But how is your first month in the Brass Valley treating?
- 5:50Speaker 9: I tell you, I really enjoy it.
- 5:52Speaker 2: It's great area.
- 5:54Speaker 9: I came from the coastline and uh, after hearing your
- 5:57Speaker 9: little weather report, I am so glad not to be
- 6:00Speaker 9: down in galvest anymore. Oh you were galus I was Galveston,
- 6:04Speaker 9: and you know, the heart of Texas. I'm a native Texans,
- 6:07Speaker 9: so it's always good to be where real Texas towns are.
- 6:10Speaker 6: I also really really loved galast Yeah, I would have
- 6:15Speaker 6: lived in Galveston when I was in Houston had I
- 6:17Speaker 6: been able to afford the insurance.
- 6:20Speaker 7: Yes, it takes.
- 6:21Speaker 2: That's that's the rub right there.
- 6:22Speaker 6: And working Salvation Army in Galveston has got to be
- 6:26Speaker 6: a tall task.
- 6:27Speaker 9: It was the only shelter in Galveston County. So we
- 6:30Speaker 9: had one hundred and twenty people under roof, and you're
- 6:34Speaker 9: doing about one hundred and thirty five meals per day
- 6:38Speaker 9: for everybody under roof, so there's a lot going on.
- 6:41Speaker 9: So you had people being dropped off from Houston, dropped
- 6:43Speaker 9: off from all around us, and you know, that's a
- 6:47Speaker 9: big need. That people don't understand is that there are
- 6:49Speaker 9: certain people in every community to go to and we
- 6:52Speaker 9: can't we can't do it to Savage Army could not
- 6:55Speaker 9: do it without support from our community.
- 6:57Speaker 1: So that's disaster preparedness response, end of what what you
- 7:01Speaker 1: guys the Salvation Army does. Uh, but that's just a
- 7:05Speaker 1: very small part of what the Salvation Army does.
- 7:07Speaker 9: Oh it's super small. You know, most people when I
- 7:09Speaker 9: go give a talk about Savage Army, I always say,
- 7:12Speaker 9: tell me what you know about Savage Army and they say, well,
- 7:14Speaker 9: kettles and I know through stores like Great two biggest fundraisers.
- 7:18Speaker 9: What do we do? Oh?
- 7:20Speaker 10: You do good?
- 7:21Speaker 2: Okay?
- 7:21Speaker 7: What that's not bad? That's not bad good that is
- 7:25Speaker 7: technically that's that's got it.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:28Speaker 9: And what I've learned since I've been here is we're
- 7:30Speaker 9: doing the most good. And then the university is a
- 7:33Speaker 9: force for good.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:34Speaker 9: So I mean, if that's what this county, in this valley,
- 7:38Speaker 9: you know, thrive on, then why live anywhere else.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I will tell you this from having been associated with
- 7:44Speaker 1: a number of charitable organizations and nonprofits here, this community
- 7:49Speaker 1: turns out like no place I've ever seen. When there's
- 7:52Speaker 1: a need. People here will when there's a need, they
- 7:55Speaker 1: step up.
- 7:55Speaker 6: Extremely generous community. Uh and a great chapter. Salvation aren't
- 8:00Speaker 6: been working with you guys for a long long time.
- 8:02Speaker 6: What's the thing you're most excited about about your work here?
- 8:07Speaker 6: What are you looking forward to?
- 8:08Speaker 9: Well, you know, we've got big plans for future growth
- 8:11Speaker 9: and new programs, and I'm looking forward to being a
- 8:14Speaker 9: part of that. This community has already reached out to
- 8:17Speaker 9: me since I've been here saying are we ready? Can
- 8:20Speaker 9: we go? Can I write your checks? And I'm going
- 8:22Speaker 9: to tell you the answer is always yes, Yes, always yes,
- 8:25Speaker 9: anytime anywhere. We want to help people and we want
- 8:27Speaker 9: to leave them better we found them, and that's what

- 9:45Speaker 1: the gaps themselves.

- 9:50Speaker 6: or even one, doesn't matter how many, the amount of

- 10:21Speaker 6: especially times where everything costs more. Everything's more expensive, and
- 10:26Speaker 6: so Yeah, to have an opportunity to go and get

- 12:08Speaker 1: non name brand Freedo's to Friedo's. Yeah, So I brought
- 12:13Speaker 1: that along because my wife's cousin's husband, Augie. He makes
- 12:17Speaker 1: incredible sauces sausas. Augie makes them, and I haven't had
- 12:22Speaker 1: any in a couple of years.
- 12:23Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 12:23Speaker 1: So he called me, actually, his wife called me and said, hey,
- 12:27Speaker 1: we've got a couple of jars for you. So I
- 12:29Speaker 1: made the journey. They kind of live out on the
- 12:30Speaker 1: other side of Chili Fest Net, between Chili Fest and Callwell.
- 12:33Speaker 1: I made the journey out there Saturday morning and picked
- 12:35Speaker 1: up the latest edition of the Augie Style sausa and
- 12:39Speaker 1: it is.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I love it.
- 12:41Speaker 1: There's two here. I brought a couple of samples for us.
- 12:44Speaker 1: One is the bright red Augie Style salsa.
- 12:47Speaker 7: I was, how hot is this going to be?
- 12:50Speaker 2: You know, I don't find it overwhelmed.
- 12:51Speaker 6: Because you come in here, ready, you come in here
- 12:54Speaker 6: with salsa, and my my first thought is what am
- 12:58Speaker 6: I being set up for.
- 12:59Speaker 1: I'm not trying to I'm not trying to burn anybody here.
- 13:02Speaker 1: He would really like to take him to market. I mean,
- 13:04Speaker 1: that's that's I think his eventual goal is. You know,
- 13:08Speaker 1: he has these great he makes incredible sauces. This Augie
- 13:12Speaker 1: style sauceas have all been good, every single one of them.
- 13:15Speaker 1: This is the bright red one. I think it looks
- 13:18Speaker 1: like it has been kissed by the summer sun. This
- 13:20Speaker 1: Augie style sauce.
- 13:22Speaker 7: Is pretty strong.
- 13:23Speaker 2: It is.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I'll hold it up to the camera there there so
- 13:25Speaker 1: you can see that. Give it the first try. Okay,
- 13:29Speaker 1: get that one the first try there. I thought that
- 13:32Speaker 1: that one was the hotter of the two. But the longest.
- 13:36Speaker 1: The longer I wait on this, the more I kind
- 13:39Speaker 1: of feel like it might not be so that's the
- 13:42Speaker 1: that's the bright red Augie style salsa.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Riley, do you.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Have any any commentary? She's still savoring.
- 13:49Speaker 10: That's really good.
- 13:50Speaker 2: It is so.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Awesome, isn't it. Tucker has just had his first bite. Yeah,
- 13:57Speaker 1: that's good stuff. You like that would buy it?
- 13:59Speaker 2: All right?
- 13:59Speaker 1: So the second one, the second Augie style salsa is darker,
- 14:04Speaker 1: and I think it's because he used some chili pecanes,
- 14:07Speaker 1: some purple ones and and so it's it's a thicker
- 14:11Speaker 1: salsa and it has more rounded This Augie style salsa
- 14:14Speaker 1: is a more rounded flavor.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Uh.
- 14:17Speaker 1: And so I'm I I'm not sure which one I
- 14:20Speaker 1: like better. Now Riley's about to try number two.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Here, Riley, there we go.
- 14:24Speaker 1: That's kind of more purplish, the purple Augy style, the
- 14:27Speaker 1: darker select.
- 14:28Speaker 6: Does he have one sauca he has the potentially two? Yeah,
- 14:30Speaker 6: he could, he could roll out.
- 14:32Speaker 1: You let me pass that over to Tucker so he
- 14:34Speaker 1: can experience that one.
- 14:36Speaker 7: I think it's everyone.
- 14:37Speaker 6: Everyone generally says like they know guys like I know
- 14:40Speaker 6: a guy makes sau It's always.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Like now, the first batch he brought to me, I
- 14:44Speaker 1: mean I went through a big jar of it in
- 14:46Speaker 1: no time.
- 14:47Speaker 2: That one's a little bit. I like that one.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I like it a little darker, a little thicker. That
- 14:52Speaker 1: Augie style salsa.
- 14:53Speaker 7: Right there, I like better. But that is a little
- 14:57Speaker 7: bit delayed.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I think. It's slow burn.
- 15:00Speaker 7: This is one of those I'm gonna feel this in
- 15:02Speaker 7: a second.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Probably so, And like I said, I'd like to help
- 15:06Speaker 1: them get it to market and that sort of thing.
- 15:08Speaker 7: I tried the first one.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I'm not much of a graphic designer. I tried to
- 15:11Speaker 1: set up, you know, a little logo for them.
- 15:13Speaker 7: But you're going to ask, what do you name.
- 15:17Speaker 2: The Augie style salsa? I think so. I think so it.
- 15:21Speaker 7: Could cause feel like they could cause them.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the best I could do with the logo.
- 15:25Speaker 1: It just made it look like, yeah, yeah, asymmetrical, astounding.
- 15:31Speaker 7: Yeah, speakerl with Ai.

- 28:25Speaker 1: Hey, we have a we have a new cone of
- 28:28Speaker 1: uncertainty the National Weather Service.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Let's cut out the new one.
- 28:33Speaker 1: This one does not have, uh, does not have Bertha
- 28:38Speaker 1: forming into a hurricane at all. It's at a tropical
- 28:42Speaker 1: storm status as of later today. It should transmission transposition
- 28:47Speaker 1: rather from t D two to to tropical storm.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Bertha has a little bit more northerly.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Path, oh does, which takes it a little bit further
- 28:57Speaker 1: into Louisiana and then right along the edge of thee
- 29:01Speaker 1: and then has it kind of crossing over Galveston Bay
- 29:04Speaker 1: and Houston and that sort of thing. But but transitioning
- 29:07Speaker 1: from a tropical storm to a depression.
- 29:09Speaker 2: By the time it gets.
- 29:10Speaker 7: Here, they're not terrible. So okay, we're.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Gonna we hope to get a little rain out of this.
- 29:15Speaker 6: I always look at these things, especially these I look
- 29:17Speaker 6: at it like whenever you're watching like a like the
- 29:20Speaker 6: Masters or one of the big golf tournaments. It's almost
- 29:22Speaker 6: got that long putt, and you get the more the
- 29:25Speaker 6: closer it gets, and then it's still on target. The
- 29:27Speaker 6: more excited you get, only to see it veer off
- 29:30Speaker 6: and then like you just get that. That's where I'm
- 29:33Speaker 6: at right now. I I always want, like I said,
- 29:37Speaker 6: a nice tropical depression in the months of July or August.
- 29:42Speaker 6: You'll take that every every day, every day.
- 29:45Speaker 2: The floods don't catastrophe.
- 29:47Speaker 6: And I am sympathetic to our friends in Houston. God knows,
- 29:51Speaker 6: I am at Galveston, but that is y'all chose to
- 29:54Speaker 6: live where y'all chose to live.
- 29:56Speaker 7: That's fine. I live right in the part where it's
- 29:59Speaker 7: the best news ever.
- 30:00Speaker 8: You know.
- 30:00Speaker 7: It's like it ends up being like eighty degrees in
- 30:03Speaker 7: the middle.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Of down if we're on the right side of it,
- 30:05Speaker 1: If we're on the wrong side of.
- 30:06Speaker 6: It out then it's really really, really bad.
- 30:09Speaker 7: And yeah, that's but anyway, we'll keep an eye on that.
- 30:12Speaker 3: We know.
- 30:12Speaker 7: Karen's get judged.
- 30:14Speaker 6: Karen is a name that that some people have actually
- 30:17Speaker 6: changed their name over the past couple of years. Born
- 30:20Speaker 6: a Karen and then you know, lived life as a Karen.
- 30:25Speaker 6: It doesn't take long before you start to think, is
- 30:27Speaker 6: there's something else I could call myself?
- 30:29Speaker 2: Right?
- 30:30Speaker 1: Did you know that's my middle name?
- 30:32Speaker 6: Did you know there's another name that is judged harshly
- 30:36Speaker 6: on the male.

- 30:39Speaker 2: I could see it.
- 30:41Speaker 6: Yeah, Chad is is right up there too, almost almost
- 30:46Speaker 6: right on as far as how they feel, the Chads
- 30:50Speaker 6: feel they are judged as harshly, if not more harshly
- 30:53Speaker 6: in some circumstances.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I don't know many Chads and and I don't think
- 30:57Speaker 1: like the one that I know the best fits a
- 31:01Speaker 1: Chad stereotype.
- 31:02Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know.
- 31:04Speaker 6: I know a few, and I've never it's never popped up,

- 31:14Speaker 2: Is it short for something? Is it short for like Chadwick?

- 31:44Speaker 7: It's like where you woke up just like what what
- 31:46Speaker 7: am I?
- 31:46Speaker 1: Well, yes, but it was more from a financial and
- 31:49Speaker 1: family time standpoint. I never questioned. Uh, I mean in
- 31:53Speaker 1: me and my radio career. Now, I've had other jobs
- 31:56Speaker 1: that were just to put food on the table.
- 31:58Speaker 7: Your job jobs.
- 32:00Speaker 6: But but like it's a passion, like you never you
- 32:02Speaker 6: never got to the play. I kind of feel like
- 32:04Speaker 6: I kind of feel like, this is.
- 32:06Speaker 2: What I was meant to do.
- 32:07Speaker 7: Okay, what are you riling? Do you have a question?
- 32:09Speaker 10: Sometimes when I'm waking up at three in the morning.
- 32:11Speaker 7: Yeah, So this is interesting.
- 32:14Speaker 6: So they're saying that most people start questioning their career
- 32:19Speaker 6: right around the age of twenty seven. You get your
- 32:22Speaker 6: right when you get your mid twenties.
- 32:23Speaker 7: That's when you do it. I always having fun in
- 32:25Speaker 7: my mid twenties. Oh yeah, I was last I was
- 32:27Speaker 7: questioning it.
- 32:28Speaker 1: And to be fair, I think you and I both
- 32:31Speaker 1: kind of grew up late. We were maybe maybe late
- 32:34Speaker 1: in the mental maturity.
- 32:35Speaker 7: So it's very true. But yeah, that's that's that's fast.
- 32:41Speaker 8: Man.
- 32:41Speaker 1: It is early in the career to get your career
- 32:43Speaker 1: burnout at twenty seven.
- 32:44Speaker 6: To get yeah, because that means that you have to
- 32:46Speaker 6: assume that if you're questioning, like what why am I
- 32:50Speaker 6: doing this? And yeah, you're in the middle of burnout
- 32:52Speaker 6: and you're barely.
- 32:54Speaker 7: You barely five years in man.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Yeah, let's look at twenty seven, right, So you graduated
- 32:58Speaker 1: college or five years before.
- 33:01Speaker 7: Maybe you got it, maybe you got a master's like
- 33:03Speaker 7: a graduate degree.
- 33:04Speaker 1: So then you spend all that time and effort learning
- 33:06Speaker 1: and then you get in the real world and realize
- 33:08Speaker 1: it's a little different and maybe maybe you have some
- 33:12Speaker 1: some questioning thoughts at that point.
- 33:14Speaker 6: Yeah, Like you get to spring break, like that traditional
- 33:17Speaker 6: time of the year and you're like, hey, I'm would
- 33:19Speaker 6: just put in my time request off so I can
- 33:21Speaker 6: take spring break off.
- 33:22Speaker 7: Look at you like you're crazy, Like.
- 33:24Speaker 2: No, no, that didn't happen. We've got things going on.
- 33:27Speaker 10: In the summertime right now, and I'd be off to
- 33:29Speaker 10: school right now, I would be may all the way
- 33:32Speaker 10: you'd be.
- 33:32Speaker 6: In the middle of a vacation and uh, now, no,
- 33:35Speaker 6: that goes away.
- 33:37Speaker 7: That's that is a that is an absolute shock to
- 33:40Speaker 7: the system.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Real world responsibilities for Chat and Karen.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Oh bummer.
- 33:44Speaker 6: Uh, let's see what else do we have to get
- 33:47Speaker 6: to today's.
- 33:47Speaker 7: Oh, that's right.
- 33:49Speaker 6: I wanted to share this with you specifically because everyone's
- 33:54Speaker 6: worried about gas these days.
- 33:57Speaker 7: I mean, even it.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Goes up, goes Oh you're talking about about fuel. Okay.
- 34:01Speaker 2: I was about saying, that's right, cause to be concerned.
- 34:05Speaker 7: We're gonna have a discussion today.
- 34:07Speaker 12: Now.
- 34:08Speaker 6: Gas prices are always a problem. And they say there
- 34:11Speaker 6: is a solution to this. This is from the uh like,
- 34:14Speaker 6: I guess National Highway someone.
- 34:16Speaker 2: But they said, oh I saw this. The key.
- 34:20Speaker 7: Oh you gotta do is drive the speed limit.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Thanks Jimmy Carter.
- 34:24Speaker 6: All you gotta do just drive the speed limit. My man,
- 34:29Speaker 6: six point seven million gallons of fuel every day if
- 34:35Speaker 6: we all just drove the speed limit.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Pardon me, but I'm going to question the science on
- 34:42Speaker 1: that one. Six point seven million sounds like maybe like
- 34:46Speaker 1: a statistic like they came up with using specific criteria, even.
- 34:51Speaker 6: Better, based on data collected from millions of vehicle trips.
- 34:55Speaker 6: Given an average daily driving distance of around twenty eight
- 34:59Speaker 6: point six mile. That's where're ballpark in your standard kind
- 35:02Speaker 6: of time on the road. Even if you drove at
- 35:06Speaker 6: or below the posted limit, it would only add fifty
- 35:11Speaker 6: four seconds to your Commutey I disagree.
- 35:14Speaker 1: I look at I look at the Google time, your
- 35:17Speaker 1: estimated estimated time of arrival, and I take it as
- 35:21Speaker 1: a challenge.
- 35:21Speaker 2: And fifteen minutes.
- 35:27Speaker 6: Minute easy, No will that's a cake quality. I I,
- 35:32Speaker 6: if I'm lucky, I can beat it by if I'm flying, maybe, like.
- 35:39Speaker 7: My Google is pretty good. It knows where I drive
- 35:43Speaker 7: and how long it.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Takes, knows you drive granny, it does.
- 35:46Speaker 7: I think it really does. I think it takes your
- 35:49Speaker 7: You're into a past speed. Oh no, no, no, I
- 35:53Speaker 7: mean no.
- 35:53Speaker 6: I'm I'm what I would refer to as a strategic speeder.
- 35:57Speaker 6: So I'm going five miles over because I know it's
- 35:59Speaker 6: not worth time to pull me over. I'm going five
- 36:01Speaker 6: miles over. It's just not worth it. So they'll, you know,
- 36:05Speaker 6: I add five like I'm on the highway of five
- 36:07Speaker 6: miles faster. That's it never above my standard ly below
- 36:13Speaker 6: because I just don't pay attention. And oh jesus, going
- 36:15Speaker 6: sixty again.
- 36:17Speaker 1: Using the same logic, on the highway. Usually I stay
- 36:21Speaker 1: within nine miles an hour of.
- 36:23Speaker 10: The follow whoever is in front of me.
- 36:25Speaker 2: He's going, yea robbin's racing, baby, let's go.
- 36:31Speaker 7: That makes you an easy target. Ryland, No, it doesn't.
- 36:34Speaker 2: You let him.
- 36:34Speaker 1: You gotta get him, get him a quarter mile ahead
- 36:37Speaker 1: of you, and you let them take the brunt.
- 36:39Speaker 7: So you got to give them some space, then, is
- 36:41Speaker 7: what you're saying.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't. You can't roll like you're in a
- 36:44Speaker 1: con because if you're just going, because then you're the last,
- 36:46Speaker 1: you're you're the gonna get tagged because the officer is gonna.
- 36:49Speaker 6: Be like, Okay, well who's the last dude in the line.
- 36:51Speaker 6: That's the one I'm taking down?
- 36:53Speaker 7: And yeah, man, that fall in the middle.
- 36:56Speaker 6: How I please tell me how they know they know you're.
- 37:02Speaker 10: A group of like four people. Yeah, you don't want
- 37:05Speaker 10: to be first. You don't want to be second. You
- 37:07Speaker 10: want to be third or second or third.
- 37:09Speaker 11: Of the ones. You want to be.
- 37:10Speaker 10: You never want to be last. You want to stay
- 37:12Speaker 10: in that frame. And then when you know someone who's
- 37:14Speaker 10: really hauling boutet is behind you and comes hauling, you
- 37:18Speaker 10: go ahead of everybody that you're following, then follow.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Them, you catch the next one.
- 37:22Speaker 6: Yeah, so you left that, you catch them in the
- 37:23Speaker 6: room like, hey, I'm going to speed up and then
- 37:25Speaker 6: just kind and then pull over and then you gotta
- 37:27Speaker 6: do lead car.
- 37:28Speaker 7: Yeah, and then you are. But sometimes proximity you are
- 37:33Speaker 7: kind of for a while in the middle of the
- 37:34Speaker 7: pack until okay.
- 37:35Speaker 1: But I tell you, sometimes that lead car will get
- 37:38Speaker 1: irritated with you because they're taking they're taking all the
- 37:41Speaker 1: risks right, and sometimes.
- 37:42Speaker 2: They'll drop back. As a courteous driver, you need to
- 37:45Speaker 2: go take your place up front.
- 37:46Speaker 7: Sometimes absolutely, you got no problem. Take in front.
