- 0:40Speaker 1: 18- and 20-year-old said 48-year-old Fernando Lopez Jr., provided them
- 0:44Speaker 1: with the wristbands. He initially claimed no involvement, but later
- 0:47Speaker 1: admitted that he may have provided them with the wristbands
- 0:50Speaker 1: and beer. Officers found that Lopez was also in possession
- 0:54Speaker 1: of 45 milligrams of Adderall. He was charged with purchasing
- 0:57Speaker 1: alcohol for a minor by making it available and possession
- 1:00Speaker 1: of a controlled substance. He was released on $ 10, 000 bond.

- 1:07Speaker 1: were arrested during an investigation of an armed robbery. On Thursday,
- 1:11Speaker 1: Bryan Police were tracking 21-year-old Cedric Henderson III, the prime
- 1:15Speaker 1: suspect in an armed robbery. Officers saw Henderson enter a
- 1:18Speaker 1: vehicle as a passenger and attempted to pull that vehicle over.
- 1:22Speaker 1: After the vehicle stopped, Henderson ran from the vehicle but
- 1:25Speaker 1: was apprehended. He was charged with evading arrest. He had
- 1:27Speaker 1: an outstanding warrant for parole violation and remains jailed. He
- 1:31Speaker 1: has not yet been charged in the robbery. The driver,
- 1:34Speaker 1: 19-year-old Jeremy Reed Jr., traveled approximately 1,200 feet after officers
- 1:38Speaker 1: tried to initiate the stop. He tossed a handgun from
- 1:41Speaker 1: the vehicle that investigators say matched a photo Reed posted
- 1:45Speaker 1: on Instagram. That gun also had the serial number filed off.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Reed was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon, tampering
- 1:52Speaker 1: with identification numbers, driving without a license, and fleeing a
- 1:55Speaker 1: police officer. He remains jailed on $ 80, 000 bond. A 21-year-old
- 2:00Speaker 1: was arrested early Sunday after driving recklessly through the Northgate
- 2:04Speaker 1: district at closing time. Police witnessed Hector Pineda of College
- 2:08Speaker 1: Station on Church Avenue traveling at approximately 50 miles an
- 2:11Speaker 1: hour in a 25-mile-per-hour zone. Arrest records say the streets
- 2:15Speaker 1: were still crowded just after 2.30 a.m. when Pineda squealed
- 2:18Speaker 1: his tires and sped down the street. Officers say that
- 2:22Speaker 1: Pineda was also not wearing a seat belt. He failed
- 2:24Speaker 1: a field sobriety test and breathalyzer samples registered 0.111 and 0.105.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Pineda was charged with reckless driving and driving while intoxicated.
- 2:35Speaker 1: He was released on $ 6, 000 bond. Texas will be home

- 2:42Speaker 2: The Space Force is setting up a global network of
- 2:45Speaker 2: sites with deep space advanced radar capability. Those are ground-based
- 2:50Speaker 2: sensors to monitor satellites and other objects in geosynchronous orbit
- 2:54Speaker 2: around the Earth. It takes three locations. The first site
- 2:57Speaker 2: in Australia has already been built. Another site will be
- 3:00Speaker 2: in the United Kingdom. And the third will be in Texas.
- 3:04Speaker 2: The Space Force has chosen a site near Lake Kickapoo
- 3:07Speaker 2: for the facility. That's in Archer County, about 30 miles

- 6:53Speaker 1: Man.
- 6:53Speaker 5: You've got all of it.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Going over to Pflugerville.
- 6:57Speaker 5: Explain this journey you went on.
- 6:59Speaker 1: So, Consol playing at Pflugerville.
- 7:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Pflugerville at... I sent you the picture of this. The Field.
- 7:05Speaker 1: The Field.
- 7:06Speaker 5: They literally named their stadium The Field.
- 7:08Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 7:08Speaker 5: I had no idea.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I didn't either.
- 7:10Speaker 5: No clue.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I'm sitting there.
- 7:12Speaker 5: I'm looking at it.
- 7:13Speaker 1: I gotta take a picture.
- 7:14Speaker 5: I'm glad we all have the same jokes about that
- 7:16Speaker 5: wonderful little suburb.
- 7:17Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 7:17Speaker 1: So... On the way over, the GPS, we decided to
- 7:22Speaker 1: take my wife's car, which, you know, I drive the Godzilla.
- 7:25Speaker 1: My wife drives a much smaller, sportier two-door car.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Right.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Which is a joy to drive, unless you're on any
- 7:33Speaker 1: kind of unsmooth pavement or just so low to the ground.
- 7:38Speaker 5: What way were they taking you?
- 7:40Speaker 1: Look, we went- We went crazy. I don't know.
- 7:43Speaker 5: Evade the police move.
- 7:45Speaker 1: We were on county roads legitimately for miles. County roads?
- 7:51Speaker 1: It looked like the right third of the road. There
- 7:53Speaker 1: was just a crack running down it that the gap
- 7:56Speaker 1: was two, three inches wide. It looked like the whole
- 7:59Speaker 1: right side of the road was sloughing off.
- 8:01Speaker 5: That's a horrible choice of route.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:04Speaker 5: What app betrayed you, Will?
- 8:06Speaker 1: That was Google Maps.
- 8:08Speaker 5: Oh.
- 8:08Speaker 1: But I did get around a lot of traffic and
- 8:10Speaker 1: would have made great time had we not got just
- 8:15Speaker 1: slammed by torrential rainfall.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Yes.
- 8:18Speaker 1: We were skirting the edge of the rain, but we hit...
- 8:22Speaker 1: We hit what had to be some of the strongest
- 8:24Speaker 1: non-tropical straight line winds I've ever been a part of.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Seriously?
- 8:28Speaker 1: 50 years or so. I mean, we had debris. We
- 8:31Speaker 1: had trees laying over.
- 8:32Speaker 5: It was 50 mile an hour winds and trees were
- 8:34Speaker 5: falling and you were in the coop?
- 8:36Speaker 1: There was debris in the road. I'm trying to dodge
- 8:39Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon crack and the limbs and everything else.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Well, you're in a sports car.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Yeah. Those were the moments that I thought maybe we
- 8:46Speaker 1: should have brought the Godzilla. But we're wandering through it,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and everything in the truck, of course, I've got the
- 8:53Speaker 1: phone mounted in a particular spot where if I need to,
- 8:55Speaker 1: I can pull up a radar and look at it.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I can even find my phone in my wife's car.
- 8:59Speaker 5: You were in the perfect storm situation.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I hand the phone. I finally find the phone. I
- 9:03Speaker 1: hand it to Mandy. I was like, here, pull up
- 9:05Speaker 1: the radar and hit this, and it'll show a little
- 9:08Speaker 1: blue circle of where we are, and then let me
- 9:10Speaker 1: know if we've got a red or yellow box or
- 9:12Speaker 1: whatever that says. So she zooms all the way in
- 9:16Speaker 1: to where it's so pixelated. That there is a red
- 9:20Speaker 1: square on top of us. And she's like, is the
- 9:21Speaker 1: red square on top? No, no, just zoom out, sweetheart.
- 9:23Speaker 5: But what's over there? Is it going to get less red?
- 9:27Speaker 1: That red square is like showing five feet by five feet.
- 9:31Speaker 1: You know, it just zooms so far in.
- 9:33Speaker 5: This tells me nothing.
- 9:35Speaker 1: So I'm trying to teach her to zoom out while
- 9:37Speaker 1: staying on this twisting county road full of debris and
- 9:40Speaker 1: canyon-sized cracks. But we pushed through that pretty quickly, and
- 9:44Speaker 1: we got to the Pflugerville, and then we had a
- 9:48Speaker 1: good Mexican restaurant that we managed to stumble into. The
- 9:52Speaker 1: game was pushed back 30 minutes, which enabled us to
- 9:54Speaker 1: enjoy that.
- 9:55Speaker 15: Right.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And so we got to the stadium, and the rain
- 9:58Speaker 1: had just stopped. and there was a breeze and it
- 10:01Speaker 1: was probably in the mid 80s. It was real nice.
- 10:05Speaker 5: I thought about you when I was when I was
- 10:08Speaker 5: evening kind of flipping through. I'm looking at the radar
- 10:10Speaker 5: and it's like, wow, that looks like a really strong thunderstorm.
- 10:13Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 10:13Speaker 5: I mean, here in Pflugerville, you caught all of it.
- 10:15Speaker 5: It always makes me wonder, like I said, one of
- 10:16Speaker 5: the things people talk about, like Tesla's You get the
- 10:19Speaker 5: auto-drive thing, right? You get to just kind of plug
- 10:21Speaker 5: it in to just enjoy cruising on the... What happens
- 10:25Speaker 5: if auto-drive hits one of those?
- 10:26Speaker 1: Oh, no, man.
- 10:27Speaker 5: Like if auto-drive ends up on some strange county road
- 10:30Speaker 5: in the middle of a Godzilla of a pop-up shower
- 10:34Speaker 5: and thunderstorm in the fall? Does it know what to do?
- 10:37Speaker 1: Or do you... It would probably be just as confused...
- 10:42Speaker 1: It would probably... The Tesla brain would probably say, I
- 10:46Speaker 1: wish we were in the Godzilla.
- 10:47Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 10:49Speaker 5: They always take the truck.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They always take the truck.
- 10:51Speaker 5: Always take the truck.

- 13:44Speaker 5: 979-695-1620 is our phone number. And please feel free to
- 13:49Speaker 5: weigh in specifically for this. I want to talk about
- 13:51Speaker 5: left-handed people for a second. There is a debate going
- 13:55Speaker 5: on online as to whether Apple has actively discriminated against
- 14:01Speaker 5: left-handers with the release of the new $ 2, 000 foldable iPhone
- 14:05Speaker 5: that you probably have seen before. crawling across your social.
- 14:08Speaker 1: It is not crawled across my socials at all.
- 14:11Speaker 5: It knows, it knows that you are not remotely interested
- 14:14Speaker 5: in purchasing this. It, again, it kind of folds into
- 14:17Speaker 5: like a, a pocket size for you. So we all know,
- 14:21Speaker 5: I mean, the iPhone is not pocket size anymore. Look
- 14:23Speaker 5: at this monstrosity. You know, that's like, you gotta have
- 14:25Speaker 5: deep pockets to make that work. The idea is now
- 14:28Speaker 5: you can fold it to a, you know, put it
- 14:31Speaker 5: in your pocket. You'll find it unfolded. But the problem
- 14:34Speaker 5: is it's not made for the left-handed people. Would you
- 14:38Speaker 5: like to hear a review?
- 14:39Speaker 1: Yeah, let's check it out.
- 14:40Speaker 20: When we look at the hardware design for the iPhone Duo,
- 14:42Speaker 20: you'll notice it has an asymmetrical design with sharp right
- 14:45Speaker 20: corners on the hinge side and soft rounded corners on
- 14:47Speaker 20: the outside. And they do this intentionally so you can
- 14:50Speaker 20: have a nice, soft, rounded edge resting on your hand
- 14:53Speaker 20: rather than a sharp corner stabbing into your palm. But
- 14:55Speaker 20: even worse than that, the iPhone Duo also had a
- 14:58Speaker 20: major software change because instead of having your home screen dock, toolbars,
- 15:02Speaker 20: and app controls on the bottom of your phone like
- 15:04Speaker 20: they always were, now they're gonna be on the right-hand side.
- 15:07Speaker 20: But if you're left-handed, you're gonna have a sharp right
- 15:09Speaker 20: corner stabbing the palm of your hand, and you're gonna
- 15:11Speaker 20: have to reach all the way across an even wider
- 15:14Speaker 20: phone just to send a text message.
- 15:16Speaker 5: Huh.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Now, they did show in the advertisements and marketing materials
- 15:21Speaker 1: for this, they did have... People holding the phone in
- 15:24Speaker 1: their left hand. Yes. So that was shown. So they
- 15:28Speaker 1: weren't intentionally trying, I think. Somebody had to know. Because
- 15:32Speaker 1: Apple doesn't let anything out without testing. And I think
- 15:34Speaker 1: somebody said, you know what? Lefties are 10% of the population. Eh,
- 15:37Speaker 1: we can live with it.
- 15:39Speaker 5: I'm always interested with left-handed fault. Because I just can't relate.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Righty.
- 15:44Speaker 5: I just can't.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Yeah, my father was left-handed.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Do you feel... that the world is stacked against you
- 15:49Speaker 5: as a left-handed.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Now, my daughter is left-handed as well, and she does
- 15:52Speaker 1: not necessarily feel that way, but she's fairly ambidextrous in
- 15:57Speaker 1: most things that she does anyway.
- 15:58Speaker 5: Oh, she can interchange.
- 16:00Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 16:00Speaker 5: That's nice.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, she swings and shoots right-handed, but she
- 16:03Speaker 1: writes left-handed.
- 16:05Speaker 10: Oh!
- 16:05Speaker 1: You know, so I... My dad always felt like being
- 16:09Speaker 1: a lefty, he was discriminated.
- 16:12Speaker 5: Against because of that. Your dad felt like there was
- 16:13Speaker 5: a real issue. It was an impediment to overcome.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I remember as a kid, a very small kid, just
- 16:20Speaker 1: when I was a voracious reader, he gave me a book,
- 16:24Speaker 1: or maybe my grandmother did, that was his when he
- 16:26Speaker 1: was a kid, that they had gotten for him, called
- 16:28Speaker 1: Little Lefty. It was to encourage you along. You might
- 16:33Speaker 1: be different being a left-hander.
- 16:34Speaker 19: Oh, no.
- 16:37Speaker 5: What year was this?
- 16:38Speaker 1: So he was born in, what, 36, 39, somewhere in there?
- 16:41Speaker 5: Yeah, that is, I doubt people were that nice. It
- 16:46Speaker 5: was probably, you know, that was the nicest you were
- 16:49Speaker 5: going to get, was the little lefty book. The rest
- 16:51Speaker 5: of it was just, we do not care.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Nobody cares. I mean, the people who make the spiral
- 16:55Speaker 1: notebooks didn't care because a lefty has to. have their
- 16:58Speaker 1: arm over the top of this little wire.
- 17:00Speaker 5: Absolutely, and when you write, you're going through, through the ink.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Smudging stuff everywhere.
- 17:05Speaker 5: Yeah, you got that left-hander's mark on your, well, not anymore,
- 17:10Speaker 5: because no one writes to the pen, let's be honest.
- 17:12Speaker 1: But I guess there was a time when people were
- 17:13Speaker 1: left-handed that they were like, no, don't use that left hand,
- 17:16Speaker 1: tie it behind your back, learn to use your right.
- 17:18Speaker 5: That's, I was told, and this is where I would
- 17:20Speaker 5: have to turn to some of you guys, because again,
- 17:22Speaker 5: I have no point of reference for this, but if
- 17:24Speaker 5: you were a left-hander, yeah. Do you feel like you
- 17:29Speaker 5: grew up different? Do you feel like the world is
- 17:33Speaker 5: harder on you? And what steps were taken to try
- 17:37Speaker 5: to get you out of that left-handed practice?
- 17:42Speaker 1: The only frame of reference I have is that my
- 17:45Speaker 1: dad's left-handedness genetically passed to me in my eye dominance.
- 17:50Speaker 1: So I'm left-eye dominant and right-handed. So when I was
- 17:53Speaker 1: first learning how to shoot... And I was shooting with
- 17:56Speaker 1: somebody who was a good instructor. So I'm probably at
- 17:59Speaker 1: this point in time, eight or nine years old. And
- 18:02Speaker 1: he noticed that I was leaning my head over the
- 18:04Speaker 1: rifle stock to try to use my left eye on
- 18:07Speaker 1: the sights.
- 18:08Speaker 5: And he was able to correct that.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Well, back then they said, sure, fine. Here's an eye patch.
- 18:13Speaker 1: And they eye patch your left eye.
- 18:15Speaker 5: It just makes you look cooler. Yeah.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Not bad.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Like you look so much cooler with it. Everyone looks cooler. Yeah.
- 18:21Speaker 5: You look very intimidating.
- 18:23Speaker 1: So the goal modern technique is that you now teach
- 18:27Speaker 1: a left handed or left eye dominant person to shoot
- 18:29Speaker 1: left handed. And that's that's where they go now. But
- 18:34Speaker 1: back then.
- 18:34Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 18:35Speaker 1: No, this you're going to just learn to use your
- 18:36Speaker 1: right eye.
- 18:37Speaker 5: I wonder if they're going to try to come up
- 18:39Speaker 5: with a reverse version.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I doubt it. I mean, you're talking about 10% of
- 18:43Speaker 1: the population, right? So if you have to do a
- 18:45Speaker 1: redesign and just manufacture a smaller portion of them.
- 18:48Speaker 5: Yeah, do it in reverse.
- 18:49Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Now, I did. One of my dear friends was with
- 18:53Speaker 1: him at the game on Saturday.
- 18:55Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 18:55Speaker 1: And in our strolls back and forth to the same
- 18:59Speaker 1: way I was talking about the new iPhone, because he's
- 19:01Speaker 1: an iPhone.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Yes.
- 19:02Speaker 5: He's got all the same as me. All Apple, everything.
- 19:05Speaker 1: This guy is watching all the releases. He is glued
- 19:09Speaker 1: to it. Right. He's he's an Apple guy. So he
- 19:13Speaker 1: was telling me that a lot of people are disappointed
- 19:16Speaker 1: because the foldable iPhone does not have the high end
- 19:19Speaker 1: camera that you expect from Apple. Really? He explained it.
- 19:23Speaker 1: It is not their flagship model. Really? So you do
- 19:26Speaker 1: not have some of the things that people gravitate toward.
- 19:30Speaker 5: All you get is the foldy screen.
- 19:31Speaker 1: You're getting inferior external things like cameras and speakers and
- 19:36Speaker 1: that sort of thing.
- 19:37Speaker 5: But you're getting a foldy screen.
- 19:38Speaker 1: But you're getting a folding screen and you're paying two
- 19:41Speaker 1: grand for it.
- 19:41Speaker 5: Holy cow. I still wonder who is going to actually
- 19:48Speaker 5: purchase that.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I was actually surprised he already didn't have one in
- 19:52Speaker 1: his pocket. This guy is that guy.
- 19:56Speaker 5: Time will tell. Back after this.

- 20:59Speaker 5: 1620-945-WTAW. A couple of text messages today. Ann texted in
- 21:04Speaker 5: two things about being left-handed. I went to a Catholic
- 21:06Speaker 5: school for eight years, and we had the actual nuns,
- 21:09Speaker 5: who were not in favor of the three of us
- 21:12Speaker 5: in my class that were left-handed. So they were not
- 21:15Speaker 5: that Christian to us. I have heard rumors of this, Ann.
- 21:18Speaker 5: I've heard rumors of it, and it would just pop you.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I'm picturing the Blues Brothers.
- 21:22Speaker 12: Yes!
- 21:22Speaker 10: Yes!
- 21:23Speaker 5: As an adult, I found it difficult to use a
- 21:25Speaker 5: gas-powered weed eater as the exhaust blew right into my body.
- 21:29Speaker 5: So I held it with my left arm. My friend
- 21:32Speaker 5: used to tell me I couldn't use a hammer because
- 21:34Speaker 5: it was a right-handed hammer.
- 21:35Speaker 1: And she was correct.
- 21:37Speaker 5: I always thought that was a joke, Ann. I thought
- 21:40Speaker 5: it was a joke.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Brian.
- 21:42Speaker 5: We live in a right-handed world, so us lefties have
- 21:45Speaker 5: to learn to modify almost everything we do. I've become
- 21:47Speaker 5: ambidextrous to make certain tasks easier, much as Will's daughter
- 21:51Speaker 5: probably is. I write, throw, and eat left-handed, but brush
- 21:55Speaker 5: my teeth, learn to hit initially, cut and shoot all
- 22:00Speaker 5: my right-hand side. The smudge of ink along the side
- 22:03Speaker 5: of my left hand still haunts me to this day, though.
- 22:06Speaker 5: That is from Brian. Again, those wounds run real deep.
- 22:10Speaker 1: They do.
- 22:10Speaker 5: A quick little warning to some of you guys.
- 22:11Speaker 1: Yeah, this just popped up 10 minutes ago on the
- 22:13Speaker 1: Burleson County Sheriff's Office Facebook page. I'll just read it verbatim.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Just a heads up. Explosion scheduled for 7.30 a.m. Transfer
- 22:24Speaker 1: energy will be blowing a few gas lines out on
- 22:27Speaker 1: FM 1361 near the old Somerville factory on FM 3058
- 22:31Speaker 1: near Beaver Creek.
- 22:32Speaker 5: That's always a fun way to start your day.
- 22:33Speaker 1: You will hear two capitalized booms. Do not be alarmed.
- 22:38Speaker 1: We are not under attack.
- 22:39Speaker 5: These are explosions that are planned.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Everything is going to plan.
- 22:44Speaker 5: All right. Shout out to our friends in Burleson County.

- 23:35Speaker 12: On this Monday, I'm thinking about the trade war. With Canada,
- 23:47Speaker 12: a very frustrating situation. I believe it's going to get solved.
- 23:51Speaker 12: But with two nations that were historically friendly calling each
- 23:57Speaker 12: other names, this is not good. Now, in the last
- 24:00Speaker 12: few years, the USA has pumped more money into Ottawa
- 24:06Speaker 12: than the Canadians have pumped into the D.C.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Treasury, around $ 75 to $ 100 million a year.
- 24:15Speaker 12: Now, some of that money is oil trade, which is
- 24:18Speaker 12: so complicated I can't explain it here. You need a Ph.D.
- 24:23Speaker 12: in petrochemicals to figure out why the United States is
- 24:27Speaker 12: buying so much oil from Canada and who it benefits.
- 24:32Speaker 12: But President Trump feels we're getting hosed here. The Canadians
- 24:37Speaker 12: are not being fair in the trade agreements, and thus...
- 24:43Speaker 12: We get into Lake Ontario being called Lake America. And Canada,
- 24:50Speaker 12: the 51st state, on and on. I think we should
- 24:55Speaker 12: just stick with the numbers, all right? We don't need
- 24:59Speaker 12: the hyperbola. But the left in America is actually rooting
- 25:03Speaker 12: for Canada in the tariff war. They want the folks
- 25:06Speaker 12: in the USA to suffer economically because it hurts President Trump.
- 25:11Speaker 12: The truth is the Canadians have been soaking us for decades,
- 25:17Speaker 12: but we can work it out. Back in a moment.

- 28:24Speaker 1: minors at an Aggie tailgate. University police observed two men
- 28:28Speaker 1: who did not appear to be of legal drinking age
- 28:30Speaker 1: consuming beer in a hosted tailgate around 11 a.m. Saturday.
- 28:34Speaker 1: IDs confirmed that the men were 18 and 20 years
- 28:36Speaker 1: of age, but they had wristbands to be inside the
- 28:39Speaker 1: tent that required patrons to be at least 21 years old.

- 29:03Speaker 1: a minor by making it available and possession of a
- 29:05Speaker 1: controlled substance, Penalty Group 2, less than one gram. He
- 29:09Speaker 1: was released on $ 10, 000 bond. 18-year-old Micah Moore and 20-year-old
- 29:14Speaker 1: Brady Duke were cited for minor impossession. Two men were
- 29:18Speaker 1: arrested during an investigation of an armed robbery in Bryan
- 29:21Speaker 1: last week. Bryan police were in search of 21-year-old Cedric
- 29:25Speaker 1: Henderson III, the prime suspect in an armed robbery. Officers
- 29:29Speaker 1: saw him enter a vehicle as a passenger and attempted
- 29:32Speaker 1: to pull that vehicle over. Henderson ran from the vehicle
- 29:35Speaker 1: and was charged with evading arrest. He had an outstanding
- 29:38Speaker 1: warrant for parole violation and remains in custody. jailed. He
- 29:41Speaker 1: has not yet been charged in connection with the robbery.
- 29:44Speaker 1: The driver of the vehicle, 19-year-old Jeremy Reed Jr., traveled
- 29:47Speaker 1: approximately 1,200 feet after officers tried to initiate the stop.
- 29:51Speaker 1: He tossed a handgun from the vehicle that investigators say
- 29:54Speaker 1: matched a photo Reed posted on Instagram. It also had
- 29:58Speaker 1: the serial number filed off. Reed was charged with unlawful
- 30:01Speaker 1: carrying of a weapon, tampering with identification numbers, driving without
- 30:05Speaker 1: a license, and fleeing a police officer. He remains jailed

- 30:13Speaker 1: County Sunday. Just before 5 p.m., the Caldwell Fire Department
- 30:16Speaker 1: and Cooks Point Volunteer Fire Departments were dispatched to County
- 30:20Speaker 1: Road 331 for a grass and structure fire. Officials say
- 30:23Speaker 1: the fire burned approximately 37 acres, consuming one abandoned home
- 30:28Speaker 1: and several small shed-like structures on the property. Deanville, Blackjack,
- 30:32Speaker 1: and Milano VFDs provided mutual aid. One firefighter suffered unspecified injuries.
- 30:38Speaker 1: The cause of the fire is under investigation. A 21-year-old
- 30:42Speaker 1: was arrested after speeding through Northgate. Police say Hector Pineda
- 30:46Speaker 1: sped down Church Avenue just after 2.30 a.m. while the
- 30:50Speaker 1: district was still crowded. Officers say he was driving approximately
- 30:54Speaker 1: 50 miles an hour in a 25-mile-per-hour zone. He failed

- 31:11Speaker 1: has approved an ultra-high-voltage transmission project that has become controversial
- 31:15Speaker 1: because of its proposed route. It crosses very specific farmland
- 31:20Speaker 1: owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
- 31:23Speaker 17: These paths cross land, the state itself has flagged.
- 31:26Speaker 1: The concern brought by ranch owner Tom Keller was not
- 31:29Speaker 1: addressed by the PUC. Another issue raised by the Texas
- 31:33Speaker 1: Public Policy Foundation is that other parts of the power
- 31:36Speaker 1: lines go through areas under cartel control, giving our enemies
- 31:40Speaker 1: closer access to critical infrastructure. There are two active cases
- 31:45Speaker 1: of the New World Screw Worm.
- 31:47Speaker 2: The insect lays its eggs in the living tissue of
- 31:49Speaker 2: cows and other animals, and they can cause serious damage.
- 31:52Speaker 2: The New World Screw Worm was first detected in Texas
- 31:55Speaker 2: back in June, and both the state and federal governments
- 31:59Speaker 2: have major programs underway to stop it from spreading. While
- 32:01Speaker 2: it's usually found in cattle, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
- 32:05Speaker 2: is now reporting the first case in a horse in Texas.
- 32:08Speaker 2: It was found in a horse in Presidio County on
- 32:11Speaker 2: the border with Mexico. The Texas Animal Health Commission has
- 32:14Speaker 2: temporarily banned the movement of warm-blooded animals outside a designated
- 32:19Speaker 2: infested zone in Presidio and Jeff Davis counties. Steven Pickering,

- 35:40Speaker 5: I just, we were having a discussion during commercials. About
- 35:45Speaker 5: the Texas Renaissance Festival.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Yeah, because tis the season. Huzzah.
- 35:49Speaker 5: It's the season. And I feel like we're going to
- 35:51Speaker 5: pick this conversation up at some point. I don't know
- 35:53Speaker 5: if that's going to be today. But the reason why
- 35:55Speaker 5: we were talking about Texas Renaissance Festival is I have
- 35:58Speaker 5: tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival right here. That was
- 36:01Speaker 5: the first pair of the year, boy.
- 36:03Speaker 1: What do they call that? The ASMR that you just did?
- 36:06Speaker 1: The ripping of the ticket on the microphone?
- 36:08Speaker 5: You getting any day tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival.
- 36:12Speaker 17: Any day tickets.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Any day.
- 36:12Speaker 9: Doesn't matter.
- 36:13Speaker 5: They don't care.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Wow.
- 36:14Speaker 5: Just show up. Our phone number is 979-695-1620, and I
- 36:18Speaker 5: wanted to use these tickets to talk about something that
- 36:21Speaker 5: we brought up last week. I don't remember quite how— oh,
- 36:23Speaker 5: it was— okay, so we were talking about Waffle House and
- 36:27Speaker 5: the beef stick incident.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Yeah, in Florida, where there was three— Partially to not
- 36:33Speaker 1: at all dressed gentlemen.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Right.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Assaulting people at the Waffle House with snack sticks.
- 36:38Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 36:39Speaker 5: And as insane as that, that's all well and good.
- 36:41Speaker 5: But at some point during that conversation, Will said, you know,
- 36:44Speaker 5: it was going to be your last meal, but it
- 36:45Speaker 5: was going to be somewhere on, at least in the
- 36:47Speaker 5: hierarchy of last meal.
- 36:48Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 36:49Speaker 5: Waffle House.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, that would be legitimately. And it wasn't.
- 36:52Speaker 1: And again, it wasn't for the quality of the food.
- 36:54Speaker 19: No.
- 36:55Speaker 1: It's for the heritage, for, you know, what the Waffle
- 36:59Speaker 1: House means to you.
- 37:00Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:00Speaker 5: What what that. that meal brings back memories. Right. And
- 37:05Speaker 5: I don't know if that was an algorithm thing or whatever,
- 37:07Speaker 5: but after that conversation, I noticed I was getting served
- 37:09Speaker 5: the show on Netflix called last meals. Oh, have you
- 37:12Speaker 5: seen this?
- 37:13Speaker 1: I've now, I haven't seen the show. I know it exists.
- 37:15Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 37:15Speaker 5: So this is apparently, I'm guessing I'm dug too far
- 37:18Speaker 5: into it. I think it's a YouTube show. It's been
- 37:19Speaker 5: around for a while. Netflix has been on a buying
- 37:21Speaker 5: spree of anything podcast. They can get on there. They
- 37:24Speaker 5: want you to watch your podcasts and they want you
- 37:27Speaker 5: to do it on Netflix. And so, Last Meals, I think,
- 37:31Speaker 5: is one of those, primarily on YouTube. But the idea
- 37:34Speaker 5: is the host calls a famous person. The famous person
- 37:38Speaker 5: comes in and he cooks them the famous person's last meal. Say, hey,
- 37:43Speaker 5: if you had to have your last meal, what would
- 37:44Speaker 5: it be? No restrictions. Just tell me. I will cook
- 37:47Speaker 5: it for you. Then we will have a discussion about death.
- 37:49Speaker 5: It's super weird, but it's fascinating.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to watch it. I'm looking it up now.
- 37:53Speaker 5: Each episode's about 30 minutes long. There's some wild celebs
- 37:56Speaker 5: on there, man. Tom Hanks is in it. Post Malone
- 37:59Speaker 5: is in it.
- 37:59Speaker 1: Elijah Wood.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Elijah Wood is in it.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Alton Brown.
- 38:04Speaker 5: The mother of all episodes, one I haven't gotten to yet.
- 38:07Speaker 5: Gordon Ramsay.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Wow.
- 38:09Speaker 5: Is in it. So it's fascinating. You get to kind
- 38:12Speaker 5: of see.
- 38:13Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of a foodie and I like
- 38:15Speaker 1: quirky things. This might be right up my alley.
- 38:17Speaker 5: There's like 100 episodes of it.
- 38:18Speaker 1: In 2026, this year, early in the year. They celebrated
- 38:22Speaker 1: their 100th episode. That was the Elijah Wood episode.
- 38:25Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 38:26Speaker 5: It's a crazy amount of episodes. You can watch this
- 38:28Speaker 5: for a month.
- 38:29Speaker 1: And now it's all on Netflix? Most of it.
- 38:31Speaker 5: At least 70 episodes of it are on Netflix. It's wild,
- 38:35Speaker 5: and it's worth checking out. But that said, it brings
- 38:39Speaker 5: up an interesting question. If you could pick your last meal,
- 38:44Speaker 5: what would it be? Now, Will has said possibly.
- 38:49Speaker 1: It's in the running.
- 38:50Speaker 5: It's in the running. Again, you don't have to commit
- 38:52Speaker 5: right now. You can think about it for a minute.
- 38:54Speaker 5: We will pick one of you at random for answering
- 38:56Speaker 5: this question and send you to the Texas Renaissance Festival.
- 39:00Speaker 5: Perhaps steak on a steak, a turkey leg, and a
- 39:03Speaker 5: walking bottle of mead. We'll explain that later.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Huzzah.
- 39:06Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe that is your last meal of choice. I
- 39:08Speaker 5: don't know. But whatever it is, text us your last meal.
- 39:12Speaker 1: I don't think the prison system allows you mead for
- 39:16Speaker 1: your last meal.
- 39:17Speaker 5: Well, the prison system does not allow you a last meal.
- 39:19Speaker 5: The last meal, of course, originally came from the prison system.
- 39:25Speaker 5: I don't think they let you do it Really?
- 39:27Speaker 25: Yeah.
- 39:28Speaker 5: Google it real quick.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:29Speaker 5: I want to say there was an incident at some
- 39:32Speaker 5: point and the prison system said, yeah, we don't do
- 39:35Speaker 5: that anymore. You you're limited between a few different options,
- 39:39Speaker 5: which is kind of a bummer. Like, I get this
- 39:41Speaker 5: probably like really, really difficult to pull that off. But like,
- 39:45Speaker 5: I mean, come on, you got it. You got to
- 39:47Speaker 5: keep the tradition. The last meal is the last meal. Anything.
- 39:50Speaker 5: Nothing is on off the table for a last meal.
- 39:52Speaker 1: Texas does not allow custom last meals.
- 39:55Speaker 8: Yep.
- 39:56Speaker 1: And that was September 2011. Most states where capital punishment
- 39:59Speaker 1: is legal still grant death row inmates a special last meal,
- 40:04Speaker 1: but it is heavily restricted and not allowed everywhere.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Yep.
- 40:09Speaker 5: So with that said, text us your last meal. It
- 40:13Speaker 5: could be anything. It could be a restaurant. It could
- 40:15Speaker 5: be something you Parents may, whatever. What would it be?
- 40:18Speaker 5: 979-695-1620 is our phone number.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Do you want to know why we don't have it
- 40:24Speaker 1: in Texas anymore?
- 40:24Speaker 5: I would like to know why we don't have it
- 40:26Speaker 5: in Texas.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Apparently an inmate, Lawrence Russell Brewer, who was a fine
- 40:30Speaker 1: white supremacist, ordered a massive expensive meal for his last meal.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Two chicken fried steaks, a triple meat bacon cheeseburger, a
- 40:39Speaker 1: meat lover's pizza, a pound of barbecue fajitas, fried okra
- 40:42Speaker 1: ice cream, and fudge.
- 40:44Speaker 5: But that's okay. I dig it.
- 40:45Speaker 20: Right.
- 40:45Speaker 5: Sounds about right.
- 40:46Speaker 1: He refused to eat even a single bite when it arrived,
- 40:49Speaker 1: claiming he wasn't hungry. and a state senator at that
- 40:52Speaker 1: point in time demanded an immediate end to the privilege.
- 40:55Speaker 5: Give it to the guards, man.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:57Speaker 5: Give it to the guards.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Who cares? Who cares? This one jerk ruined it for
- 41:02Speaker 1: all the rest of the criminals.
- 41:03Speaker 5: Don't let that, holy cow. I hate to tell you this,
- 41:08Speaker 5: but he's not going to get the benefit of the
- 41:09Speaker 5: nourishment anyway.
- 41:11Speaker 10: Right.
- 41:11Speaker 5: They never have.
- 41:12Speaker 11: You may as well just throw it in the trash.
- 41:14Speaker 5: It's a last meal.
- 41:17Speaker 10: Ah!
- 41:17Speaker 5: That is enraging. Anyway, look, we're going to take a break,
- 41:20Speaker 5: let you get some of these text messages in. Again,
- 41:22Speaker 5: last meal, what is it?
- 41:25Speaker 19: 979-695-1620.
- 41:26Speaker 5: We'll be back right after this.
- 41:28Speaker 26: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family,
- 41:30Speaker 26: and I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
- 41:33Speaker 26: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family
- 41:36Speaker 26: Minute to you each morning.

- 42:15Speaker 26: I could have easily overreacted in the way I raised
- 42:17Speaker 26: my children. My own childhood was a lot to overcome.
- 42:21Speaker 26: My mom died when I was nine years old. My
- 42:23Speaker 26: stepdad abandoned me and my siblings within hours of my
- 42:27Speaker 26: mom's funeral. A few years later, my biological father died
- 42:30Speaker 26: of alcoholism, and I spent several years in foster care.
- 42:35Speaker 26: Because things were so tough for me, I wanted to
- 42:37Speaker 26: give my boys everything I didn't have. And I did,
- 42:41Speaker 26: namely a loving, stable home and parents who were committed
- 42:44Speaker 26: to each other.
- 42:45Speaker 1: But I also overdid it on occasion, like Disneyland.
- 42:49Speaker 26: I never got a chance to go as a kid,
- 42:51Speaker 26: so I took my boys numerous times before they graduated
- 42:54Speaker 26: from high school. I mean like over 25 times. All
- 42:58Speaker 26: things considered, my overreaction could have been worse. I could
- 43:01Speaker 26: have sheltered them from disappointment from the pain of waiting.
- 43:05Speaker 26: or from the discipline of hard work. But I didn't,
- 43:07Speaker 26: because my wife and I realized early on that rescuing
- 43:11Speaker 26: children from every struggle doesn't protect them. It sets them
- 43:15Speaker 26: up for failure. Giving children every advantage doesn't improve their
- 43:19Speaker 26: lives in the long run. Adversity is a good teacher.
- 43:23Speaker 26: It demands something of us. It requires us to challenge ourselves,
- 43:27Speaker 26: to try harder and be stronger. Balance is key to
- 43:31Speaker 26: effective parenting. Too much challenge and children get discouraged. Not enough,
- 43:36Speaker 26: and they won't learn to handle the adversity that life
- 43:39Speaker 26: will throw at them. To help your children thrive, visit FocusOnTheFamily.com.

- 45:44Speaker 27: Click TexasSelectCoatings.com today. The Aggie football team downed Arizona State
- 45:50Speaker 27: 48-20 on Saturday afternoon behind a pair of fourth-quarter pick
- 45:54Speaker 27: sixes to improve the Aggs' season to 2-0. Head coach
- 45:58Speaker 27: Mike Elko recapped the game.
- 46:00Speaker 19: I think it starts with just what a scene. Thank
- 46:03Speaker 19: you for the 12th man, 107,500, again over 107,000, and
- 46:08Speaker 19: just the scene of red, white, and blue when we
- 46:11Speaker 19: ran out of the tunnel and what that stands for
- 46:14Speaker 19: on the anniversary of 9-11. I just thought that was
- 46:16Speaker 19: another really, really impressive thing by the 12th man, and
- 46:19Speaker 19: so thank you for all of them. Thank you for
- 46:21Speaker 19: enduring that heat and some up-and-down play and staying with
- 46:24Speaker 19: us and sticking with us and following us to the
- 46:27Speaker 19: end where we were able to pull away. I thought
- 46:28Speaker 19: the story of the game was really simple. We have
- 46:31Speaker 19: a winning football formula, and we followed that to a tee.
- 46:35Speaker 19: Win the turnover margin, we did it 4-1. went on
- 46:37Speaker 19: special teams. I thought we dominated the game on special teams,
- 46:41Speaker 19: scored touchdowns in the red zone, held people to field
- 46:43Speaker 19: goals in the red zone. We were able to do that,
- 46:45Speaker 19: play penalty-free football as part of that third one. We
- 46:47Speaker 19: did that and then went in the fourth quarter and
- 46:49Speaker 19: we did that. And so between all of that, certainly
- 46:52Speaker 19: a lot that needs to get corrected, a lot that
- 46:54Speaker 19: needs to get cleaned up and fixed. But when you
- 46:57Speaker 19: look at our markers for what winning football looks like,
- 46:59Speaker 19: we're able to do that today.
- 47:00Speaker 27: Coach Yelko also highlighted the defense's performance.
- 47:05Speaker 19: Four turnovers led to 24 points on a day where
- 47:08Speaker 19: I think both sides were not playing at their best,
- 47:11Speaker 19: not firing at their best. Those turnovers obviously made a
- 47:13Speaker 19: huge difference in the game. It was a huge day
- 47:16Speaker 19: for it. It was probably fitting to get the interception
- 47:19Speaker 19: monkey off of our back the way we did with
- 47:21Speaker 19: two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. That was great to see.
- 47:24Speaker 19: It was really good.
- 47:25Speaker 15: We had.
- 47:27Speaker 19: Miles Davis went down in practice last week, and T.K.
- 47:33Speaker 19: Norman has to go in and play gunner this week
- 47:36Speaker 19: because we've got to get Dalton back off the reps
- 47:38Speaker 19: a little bit. The first punt of the game, T.K.
- 47:40Speaker 19: Norman whips this guy, runs down the field, and recovers
- 47:42Speaker 19: a fumble inside the 10-yard line. A lot of little
- 47:45Speaker 19: things like that happening in the program that still give
- 47:47Speaker 19: me tremendous confidence in terms of where we are and
- 47:49Speaker 19: where we're headed.
- 47:50Speaker 27: Up next, the Aggies begin SEC play this week, hosting
- 47:53Speaker 27: the Kentucky Wildcats at Kyle Field on Saturday afternoon with
- 47:57Speaker 27: a 2-30 kickoff. In high school football, the Bryan Vikings
- 48:00Speaker 27: shut out the Waco Lions 14-0. A & M Consolidated
- 48:05Speaker 27: beat Pflugerville Conley 49-6. College Station shut out Shoemaker 22-0.
- 48:11Speaker 27: Rudder lost to Jacksonville 28-20. Navasota also lost their game 34-31.
- 48:18Speaker 27: Allen Academy beat Legacy Christian 67-22, and Caldwell fell to
- 48:23Speaker 27: Lexington 53-25. In the NFL yesterday, the New York Giants
- 48:28Speaker 27: beat the Dallas Cowboys 28-20, while the Houston Texans fell
- 48:32Speaker 27: to the Buffalo Bills 36-31. In the MLB last night,
- 48:37Speaker 27: the Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6, while the
- 48:41Speaker 27: Houston Astros fell 14-4 to the Tampa Bay Rays. The
- 48:46Speaker 27: Aggie volleyball team came up short in a five-set match
- 48:49Speaker 27: against Wisconsin on Friday night at Reed Arena, falling 3-2.
- 48:53Speaker 27: Head coach Jamie Morrison recapped the game.
- 48:56Speaker 10: And just, again, the 12th man continues to amaze me,
- 48:58Speaker 10: and I hope people are entertained by the way they saw.
- 49:00Speaker 10: I hope they come back. But I just want to
- 49:02Speaker 10: give an immense amount of gratitude for the people that
- 49:04Speaker 10: came out and supported us tonight. And in the match,
- 49:07Speaker 10: I was walking past here, and Brittany, their assistant coach,
- 49:10Speaker 10: walked back and just said, I don't think there's a
- 49:11Speaker 10: team in the country that's gotten better than yours in
- 49:13Speaker 10: the short time that you've had in the season. So
- 49:16Speaker 10: I don't think there's any better compliment you can get
- 49:17Speaker 10: from a coach. So as much as I'm pained, I
- 49:20Speaker 10: thought we should have won the fourth and probably should
- 49:22Speaker 10: have won the fifth. We are trending in the right direction.
- 49:25Speaker 10: And again, the schedule has been hard. But just again,
- 49:28Speaker 10: that rush towards the edge of what we're capable of
- 49:30Speaker 10: is happening faster and faster for this group. So disappointed, encouraged.
- 49:33Speaker 10: And I know it sounds like a broken record. But
- 49:35Speaker 10: I knew coming into the season that it would be
- 49:37Speaker 10: a harder schedule that we'd have to come through. And again,
- 49:40Speaker 10: the fact that we're here doing this in front of
- 49:42Speaker 10: the people that we're doing is something I'm proud of.
- 49:44Speaker 27: Up next, the Aggies host Stephen F. Austin tomorrow night
- 49:47Speaker 27: at 6 o'clock at Reed Arena. The A & M
- 49:50Speaker 27: soccer team traveled to Kentucky to open up SEC play

- 51:59Speaker 1: Larry says a choice ribeye steak, baked potato, chocolate cake.
- 52:03Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 52:04Speaker 5: I mean, I would say this. Again, Larry, that's fantastic.
- 52:07Speaker 5: I would absolutely go with that. Just remember that there's
- 52:10Speaker 5: no cap. You can keep going.
- 52:13Speaker 17: Right.
- 52:13Speaker 5: Don't put any limits on yourself. If you want a
- 52:16Speaker 5: bite of it, you can put it on that list.
- 52:19Speaker 1: That's right. In theory.
- 52:20Speaker 5: For a last meal.
- 52:22Speaker 1: William, a bone-in ribeye with steamed asparagus and baked potato.
- 52:26Speaker 1: There are two that put asparagus on their menu. Asparagus.
- 52:29Speaker 5: Oh, like just because the.
- 52:32Speaker 1: asparagus i'm guessing look i love asparagus right sometimes you
- 52:35Speaker 1: don't like dealing with the after effects of asparagus but
- 52:38Speaker 1: in this case that's not a concern.
- 52:41Speaker 5: You know what that's a good point will nothing is
- 52:43Speaker 5: off the table if it gives you heartburn no big deal.
- 52:45Speaker 1: No big deal let's see here all right we are
- 52:49Speaker 1: you calling somebody yeah.

- 52:58Speaker 1: area leader.
- 52:59Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 52:59Speaker 1: He let us know that the Texas Department of Criminal
- 53:01Speaker 1: Justice has a listing of all the last meals before
- 53:04Speaker 1: they stopped cooking them. Holy cow. If you want to
- 53:06Speaker 1: find that out, you can.
- 53:07Speaker 5: Do some Google.
- 53:08Speaker 14: Hello.
- 53:09Speaker 5: Is this Amy?
- 53:10Speaker 21: Yes, it is.
- 53:11Speaker 5: Amy, it's Tucker and Will with you.
- 53:13Speaker 1: Good morning, Amy.
- 53:14Speaker 5: All that stuff.
- 53:15Speaker 12: Good morning.
- 53:16Speaker 5: So the computer spit you out as the person who's
- 53:18Speaker 5: going to walk away with some tickets to the Texas
- 53:20Speaker 5: Renaissance Festival. Congratulations on that. Woo-hoo, thank you. But I
- 53:24Speaker 5: did want to know, what was your last meal? Do
- 53:27Speaker 5: you have one that jumps out at you?
- 53:31Speaker 25: Yeah, all-you-can-eat Alaskan king crab legs.
- 53:35Speaker 5: See, that's the thing. Go big.
- 53:38Speaker 1: Go big.
- 53:39Speaker 5: They have to get it for you. If you can
- 53:41Speaker 5: say all-you-can-eat Alaskan crab legs, do you get anything else
- 53:45Speaker 5: with it? Like, do you have sides, or is it
- 53:46Speaker 5: just the crab? When you say all-you-can-eat crab, are you
- 53:49Speaker 5: really trying to be like, I'm going to see how
- 53:50Speaker 5: far I can go with this?
- 53:51Speaker 20: No.
- 53:53Speaker 25: Well, no, you got to have some sides, you know,
- 53:55Speaker 25: you got to have a little green, like asparagus and,
- 53:58Speaker 25: you know, homemade mashed potatoes.
- 53:59Speaker 1: Oh, also maybe with some brown gravy, maybe green gravy.
- 54:02Speaker 15: Wow.
- 54:03Speaker 1: Okay.
- 54:03Speaker 5: Okay. You know what? This is a, I like where
- 54:05Speaker 5: you're headed with this.
- 54:05Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 54:06Speaker 5: Again, make it, make it hurt.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 54:10Speaker 5: What's the most, what's the hardest thing to get? And
- 54:13Speaker 5: how much of it can I get?
- 54:15Speaker 1: Well, and thinking back on my leaning toward a Waffle House,
- 54:19Speaker 1: I do see the appeal in ordering something that is
- 54:23Speaker 1: just super fine.
- 54:24Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 54:24Speaker 1: So I get that, too.
- 54:25Speaker 5: Right.
- 54:26Speaker 1: Crab would be on my list.
- 54:27Speaker 5: I'm debating either Jose's because I've been eating there since
- 54:30Speaker 5: I was like five.
- 54:31Speaker 1: That's your sentimental choice.
- 54:33Speaker 5: That's my sentimental choice. My other one, honestly, I might
- 54:36Speaker 5: go Top of the Hill.
- 54:37Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 54:37Speaker 5: A Top of the Hill burger. And, again, I'm not
- 54:39Speaker 5: saying cheese. I'm saying it's got to come from top
- 54:41Speaker 5: of the hill.
- 54:41Speaker 1: The only problem with that is getting it from there
- 54:43Speaker 1: to Huntsville.
- 54:44Speaker 5: Yeah, would it save?
- 54:45Speaker 4: No.
- 54:46Speaker 5: Amy, congratulations. We'll text you info on how to get
- 54:49Speaker 5: these tickets, okay?
- 54:49Speaker 15: Awesome. Thank you so much.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Amy. I've got a challenger for you, Tucker.
- 54:54Speaker 5: What do you have?
- 54:54Speaker 1: This could be your last meal.
- 54:56Speaker 20: Yeah.
- 54:56Speaker 1: A Wendy's franchise in Edmond, Oklahoma, has brought back what
- 54:59Speaker 1: they call the T-Rex burger. Are you familiar with this?
- 55:02Speaker 5: I've never heard of this.
- 55:03Speaker 1: Apparently it was sort of a thing for a while.
- 55:05Speaker 1: It's nine beef patties, nine slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, ketchup,
- 55:10Speaker 1: and mayo.
- 55:10Speaker 27: What?
- 55:11Speaker 1: It is a challenge. For about $ 30, if you finish
- 55:14Speaker 1: it in nine minutes, you get a shirt.
- 55:17Speaker 5: Do I still pay them? I don't get my money back?
- 55:20Speaker 1: Apparently not.
- 55:20Speaker 5: I just get the shirt?
- 55:21Speaker 1: Apparently not.
- 55:21Speaker 5: Does it have to be a Wendy's burger?
- 55:23Speaker 1: It's that burger in that location because Wendy's put the
- 55:26Speaker 1: kibosh on the original ones. They said nobody can do this.
- 55:30Speaker 1: This is an independent franchise now that has brought this back,
- 55:33Speaker 1: the T-Rex burger.
- 55:35Speaker 5: You know, if you had like a last meal before
- 55:38Speaker 5: the last meal, like if they gave you like a
- 55:39Speaker 5: one-week warning or something like that, maybe. But yeah, it's
- 55:43Speaker 5: a Wendy's thing.
- 55:43Speaker 1: I'm sorry, guys.
- 55:44Speaker 5: I just can't get behind that. But that is a monstrosity.
- 55:47Speaker 1: My money's on you, man.
- 55:49Speaker 5: Oh, could I do it?
- 55:49Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 55:51Speaker 5: It's light work, homie.
- 55:52Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW.
- 55:52Speaker 5: College Station.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Brian, good morning.
- 55:53Speaker 25: 8 o'clock.
