  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. Watering
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: restrictions have been implemented in two special utility districts. Wixon
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Creek and Welburn will limit the hours in which watering
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is allowed, and it will be limited to two days
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: per week based on address. For more detailed information, visit WTAW.com.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: The Bryan City Council is holding a public hearing tonight
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: on next year's $ 569 million budget. Executive session begins at
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: 5 o'clock with the public hearing to follow. A sentenced
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: habitual DWI offender is headed to prison for 25 years.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Judge David Hilburn issued the sentence for 50-year-old Nestor Padron Jr.,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: At the time of his arrest, his blood alcohol was.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: 20 %. Padron's first DWI charge was in 1997, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: he has been booked into the Brazos County Jail 34 times.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: This will be his third time in prison, serving previous
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: convictions for continuing family violence assault and tampering with evidence.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: After seeing home insurance premiums jump nearly 80% over the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: past six years, Governor Abbott has directed the Texas Department
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of Insurance to take actions to put consumers first.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Insurance premiums have jumped in Texas from just under $ 2, 000
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in 2020 to over $ 3, 500 today, prompting Governor Abbott to
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: direct TDI Commissioner Amanda Crawford to require insurers to include
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a home's fortified roof status in their rate-settling calculations designed
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to lower the cost. He also wants her to create
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: an insurance fraud task force to study the impact of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: inflated claims costs on the Texas commercial auto, personal auto,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and homeowners insurance markets. In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Several civil rights groups have filed a petition to get
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Texas DREAM Act. In June of last year, the Department
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of Justice sued Texas to abolish it. Texas Attorney General
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Ken Paxton agreed with the feds. The DREAM Act allowed
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: immigrant students to access in-state tuition. Attorney Danny Woodward with
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the Texas Civil Rights Project says allowing for a reasonably
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: priced education sets young people up for a better future.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: And it also benefits Texas. Study after study has shown
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that educating young people in Texas, regardless of their immigration status,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: improves our economy, grows our tax base, and just makes
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the state a better place for everybody.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: A three-judge panel sided with Paxton. Woodward says Paxton's action
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to not defend state law circumvented the state legislature. Woodward
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: says in-district tuition at community college for 12 credits is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: roughly $ 1, 000. Out-of-state tuition is four times that. The Bryan
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Police Department continues to actively investigate the August 8th shooting
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: death of 14-year-old DeAnton Miles. Investigators are urgently searching for
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: anyone with firsthand knowledge of the events leading up to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the shooting... the shooting itself, or the individuals involved. BPD
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: says they understand some individuals may be reluctant to speak
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: with law enforcement, but remind everyone that a 14-year-old member
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of the community lost their life. Anyone with information or
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: knowing someone with information, they are asked to contact the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Bryan Police Department. A woman is heading to prison for
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: animal cruelty after more than 130 dead dogs were found
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on her property. 26-year-old Ashley McFadden pled guilty to three
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: counts of felony cruelty to non-livestock animals and has been
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: sentenced to five years in prison. The case began in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: March when McFadden and her organization, Southeast Texas Paw Patrol,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: were accused of providing inadequate food, water, and shelter to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: dogs in their care. Investigators ultimately discovered more than 130
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: deceased dogs and removed 87 living dogs from the property
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in Columbus, Neal. More news ahead at 7.30 or anytime

• 6:13
  Speaker 9: a little bit Less extreme than yesterday. Allegedly 101 is
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: what they're calling for.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What was yesterday's high.
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: By the way? 103, 104. It was stupid.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I went out briefly and I decided that that was
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: not going to be something I was going to do
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: for several more weeks.
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's in the 90s until like probably a
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: couple hours after sunset at this point.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: But it will give us a slight chance of rain tomorrow.
• 6:40

  Speaker 9: text number, 979-695-1620. Are you aware that every quarter, the
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: city of College Station and SHAPE College Station Give residents
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: an opportunity to share their ideas for priorities about the
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: future of the city.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain that I was aware.
• 7:16
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: Through a simple survey, Will, you can tell them exactly
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: what matters most to you from restaurants and shops you'd
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: like to see that would make College Station feel more
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: like home.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It is home. It's kind of always felt that way.
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: Always home. But if you moved here from San Antonio,
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: for instance, perhaps it would feel more like home if
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: you had a Chex Notes Bill Miller's barbecue. It wouldn't.
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: I mean, it might feel more like home, but you
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: left that for a reason, dude. You're free.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: You're free.
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: Go to C & J.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We got the barbecue fairly well covered.
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: We're good. We got you covered. What if you came
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: from the city of Houston and you really miss your Luby's?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Now, I can get on board with the Luby's.
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: Because both of these are on this list.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So you've got a list from Shape College Station.
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: I don't have, I'd have to spin this around to
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: the camera to show you guys. This is a lengthy
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: list and I don't know how they came up with it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: But it's oddly specific. So I don't know if these
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: are all businesses that have been in discussion with the
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: city of College Station. I don't know. Like, we'll ask
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: Colin when he comes in at the end of the week.
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: But it's a lot. Babe's Chicken Dinner House, Bar Louie, Benihana.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I got to go back to the Luby's because you
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: can't mention Luby's without talking about square fish and liver
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and onions. And I am aware that you can get
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the square fish in the grocery-atoriums now.
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: That's not the same.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: It's not the same.
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: And I still haven't forgiven Luby's for leaving. No. Frankly.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Honestly, some of the best liver and onions I've ever had.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: It's so good. The infamous papasitos and papados are on
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: the list.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Of course they are.
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: The Cheesecake Factory is on the list. Tim Horton's in
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: College Station is on the list. A Waffle House.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And Christopher just texted in asking about the Waffle House. Yeah,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it's on the list.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: It is on there. So here's what we're going to do. Because, again,
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: this is oddly specific. And it's long. And I don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: know that they really examined this to the extent that
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: they should have about the stuff that the people, the
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: people who live in the city of College Station would
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: want to see. So right now is your opportunity.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Okay. To see.
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: Make your voice heard.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Does it have to be just businesses? Because that's what
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: we've mentioned.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: What else would they add?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: If somebody from Houston wrote in and said, you know
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: what I miss from Houston? Bodies in the bayous.
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: You know what? I'll take anything.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: 9-7-9-6-9-5-16-20.
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: But yeah, man, if you could get one thing to
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: come to Bryan College Station, one thing to all of
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: a sudden set up shop here, what would it be? Again,
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: open season. I don't have any that immediately come to
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: mind for me.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Jeff has texted in with a Dave and Buster's.
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: You're getting it, homie.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And there's going to be probably six or eight
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Waffle House mentions here.
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: That's okay. That's okay. Because I do have a list
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: of the ones that have been getting the most votes
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: on here, too, which we will.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're votes.
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: They're votes. in this survey. They're votes. So basically, it's
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: a form that you click the one you want.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And then you hit submit. And this is a City
• 10:53

• 11:00
  Speaker 9: share it to the WTAW Facebook page. All I'll say
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: is there's one business in the lead. I'm not going
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: to tell you what it is, but it is not
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: Waffle House.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Shocking.
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: There is one thing that has come out on top,
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: and it is not Waffle House. And, man, you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: it's not particularly close either. So if you've got one

• 14:25
  Speaker 9: 1620-945-WTAW morning. Let's get down to business, y'all. We're talking
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: about a survey that the City of College Station puts out.
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: It's on grow.cstx.gov if you're looking for it. And I
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: will share this to the Facebook page. But it's a
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: poll to ask which, now this is specifically restaurant brands.
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: But for the purposes of this discussion, the idea is
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: what should set up shop in College Station? What do
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: the people, the people want? And there is one that
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: has risen to the top. And it's not Waffle House. Now,
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: from the early text messages, a couple of people, Terry
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: and Woody, both said, oh, it's got to be Trader Joe's.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Got to be the Trader.
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: The hell it is. It is not Trader Joe's. Now,
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: that might be because they were just asking for food options,
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: but I would put Trader Joe's in the food category, personally.
• 15:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: It's close enough. It is not the top of the list.
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: Some of the other ones that we are asking, and again,
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: what should set up shop here in College Station? Jay says...
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: Forget businesses. Just give me a $ 3 beer at Kyle Field.
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: $ 16 is a touch ridiculous.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: A bit.
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: I have heard this a time or two.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons that I don't actively pursue going
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to football games.
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: That is an insane amount of money to pay for
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: a drink, y'all. I think we can all agree on that.
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: Frank says, I'd like to see an Applebee's. But we
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: still have ours out here in Brenham.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: True. Yeah, you got that out there in Brenham.
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: Applebee's is kind of like Luby's in the sense that
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: it really had a faithful following that were really upset
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: when they decided enough was enough.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: But I understand it from Luby's standpoint. I do not
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: understand it from an Applebee's.
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: What else we got over here?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: We've also got Cabela's. And in addition to that, somebody
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: also mentioned a Bass Pro Shop.
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: A Bass Pro would be world-changing.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: It would be, but we just don't have the outdoor
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: activity here, I think.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, because usually they want to drop those somewhere where
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: there's either hiking or water. Fishing. Yeah, just stuff like that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Up in the Lake Country. I've been to the one
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: there in Missouri.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: Exactly.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Been to several. I actually saw the Grateful Dead at
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the Bass Pro Shop in Memphis.
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: You saw the Grateful Dead at the Bass, the Pyramid?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It was before it was the Bass Pro Shop.
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, I was about to say.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's now the Pyramid in Memphis is now.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: A Bass Pro Shop. Ooh, Matthew, James, Coney, Island.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: I do know. I take it. I take it in
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: a heartbeat.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: When I lived in Austin, we had one just across
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the street, just across Congress from our offices. And I
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: went a couple of times, and I just was not
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that impressed. I would say that it would be better
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for us to get a hot dog, et cetera, in
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: South College Station than to get a James Coney Island.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: I want to read a text from Jennifer.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: Who is absolutely opposed to... to Waffle House coming to
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: College Station.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and read exactly what she said, Tucker.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: Hell blank no to Waffle House. That brings Florida man
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: levels of crazy, which we don't need here. We already
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: have enough crazy as it is.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Should I point out that Jennifer's first three words in
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: that were Florida man language?
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: Perhaps.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Jennifer, I don't think you had the same experience that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I have with Waffle House.
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: But I'll say this. She says all caps yes to Luby's.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: Many memories going to Luby's after church. My dad and
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: grandma as a teenager, same. Both no longer with us,
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: and neither is Luby's for that matter.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Man, I would do a Luby's at least once a month,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: probably twice.
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: Goodness, yeah. Surely we can find a way to make
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: this work. There has to be. I'm not saying put
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: it in that giant building where they used to have.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: There's got to be some way to get a Luby's
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: or Luby's equivalent.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Somewhere let's find a space that's big enough to house
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a luby's waffle house washeteria.
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: So what is leading the pack three different restaurants are
• 18:48

• 18:50

• 19:32
  Speaker 9: terrible twosome of Papa Do's and Papa Cito's are right

• 19:44
  Speaker 9: people who love you. You can all you can you

  Speaker 9: don't want to then turn your back.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: On them you can hear the voices clamoring for a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: couple of these places for years.
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah everyone i and i'm i'm right there with you
• 19:58

  Speaker 1: their reasons.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: They've got their reasons Uh, let's see. Uh, okay. Uh,
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: music venue is another, uh, submission that we've had, which
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: actually is incredible.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I have high hopes for what the city of college
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: station is going to do with Wolf Creek.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Now, as far as a music venue goes like a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: big auditorium, I don't know.
• 20:26
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we could support that. Look, you
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: want to know what needs to come back. We need
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: some country and western dance halls here.
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: That's the thing.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about the smaller spaces.
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: No, you need a.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Big, big country music dance hall slash honky-tonk venue that
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: can support somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 to 4,000
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: humans on a busy night. Because otherwise, you're going to
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: pay for that in about 20 years when you don't
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: really have a lot of these guys who you like
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: to listen to today growing. It's like farming. You have
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: to farm them.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: It was a rite of passage.
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: It was.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: For so many years.
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: Someone's got to get on that. Now, above the poppers,
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: Cheesecake Factory.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: No.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: See, I'd lose my mind for a Cheesecake Factory.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I'd lose my mind trying to get through the menu
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that was written by James Mishner. You know, 6,000 pages thick.
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: I need five more minutes. Give me five more minutes.
• 21:22
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And it's just not that impressive to me.
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: This is criminal. Number three In-N-Out Burger. I don't need it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I don't need it either.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: I've already got it. And I know we all feel
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: a certain way about when Whataburger lost its tech.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: You want to do something? Buy the local Whataburgers and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: take them back to what they used to be.
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: Just start doing it the old way. I mean, there's
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: something to that. And obviously, number two is Waffle House,
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: which you mentioned. Number two is Waffle House.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: So it's high up on the list.
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: It is very, very high. Number one with a third
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: more votes, P. Terry's. P.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Terry's.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: Do you know P.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Terry's? I don't think I know P. Terry's.
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: Is anyone out there psyched about a P. Terry's burger stand?
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: I mean, someone is.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a burger place.
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: It's a burger. So, P. Terry's, the best way I
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: can put this, if you've never had P. Terry's, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: there are, they are numerous in Austin, because Austin's kind
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: of their thing. Numerous in San Antonio, because it's right
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: down the road, and there are several that are in Houston.
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: Imagine a In-N-Out burger that's actually good. It's the same thing,
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: only good. In-N-Out is like the Teemu version, in my opinion,
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: of P. Terry's.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And even though P. Terry's started in Austin 2005, which
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: is why I missed it. I wasn't living there anymore.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I was already back here. I will support a Texas-based company,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: even if it's from Austin.
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: A Texas-based company.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Come on, P. Terry's. Come on, P.
• 22:48
  Speaker 14: Terry's.
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: Probably copied a California company and did it better. Did
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: it better. I think you could drop one of these
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: in town, and I would welcome that decision. Absolutely welcome
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: that decision. But, yeah, I will share this. If you
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: want to see the full list, if you want to
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: make your voices heard, please do. We'll be back. We'll
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: talk news coming up next.

• 24:11
  Speaker 9: 1620-945-WTAW. Jennifer, obviously, with her full chested. Not in my
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: city for Waffle House. It's causing a lot of controversy.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: She didn't tiptoe into that one. No, she has drawn
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: the line in the sand and said we should say
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: no to the Waffle House. Frank disagrees. Jennifer, crime and
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: criminals have to eat too. You know, you do.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Look, that's the reputation. I get it.
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: You said they had bank-like security.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: It all depends on where your Waffle House is, right?
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: Would a Waffle House in College State be a classy
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: Waffle House?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: I mean, you know, only time will tell. Or will it?
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: They've had plenty of, you guys have had plenty of opportunities.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: They're just so unwilling to show up. Maybe one day
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: it'll change.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe one day.
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: Who knows? Weather ain't going to change today. 101 for
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: your high, about 103 to 105 on the heat index,
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: down to the 70s tonight. And more of the same
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: temperature-wise tomorrow, but an increasing chance of rain for later

• 26:06
  Speaker 19: On this Tuesday, I'm thinking about good versus evil. Just
• 26:11
  Speaker 19: before the Iran confrontation, I said that the action would
• 26:18
  Speaker 19: be the biggest gamble Donald Trump has ever taken in
• 26:22
  Speaker 19: his entire life. The president actually said, did the right
• 26:26
  Speaker 19: thing in trying to break Iran's terror and nuke activities.
• 26:32
  Speaker 19: But you will never hear that from Mr. Trump's detractors.
• 26:38
  Speaker 19: The massive problem with the Iranian action is the unintended
• 26:43
  Speaker 19: consequences that have bolstered the Democratic Party. Americans do not
• 26:49
  Speaker 19: like the rise in retail prices. The mullahs well understand
• 26:55
  Speaker 19: the economic problems, and that is their chief weapon, inflict
• 27:01
  Speaker 19: pain on the American consumer and the worldwide financial marketplace.
• 27:09
  Speaker 19: That strategy should have been war-gamed out by the Pentagon
• 27:15
  Speaker 19: before the USA hit Iran last winter. Apparently, it was not. Today,
• 27:21
  Speaker 19: few countries in the world are supporting the action against Iran.
• 27:26
  Speaker 19: The USA and Trump stand mostly alone with Israel. Now,
• 27:30
  Speaker 19: my recent book is confronting evil. On the cover is
• 27:33
  Speaker 19: Hitler and the Ayatollah Khomeini, as well as Putin and Mao,
• 27:38
  Speaker 19: heinous killers all. In the past, evil has usually been defeated.
• 27:44
  Speaker 19: Not sure about this time. Back in a moment. You
• 27:49
  Speaker 19: have heard me talk about All Family Pharmacy before, and
• 27:52
  Speaker 19: there's a reason. They make it easy to get everyday
• 27:55
  Speaker 19: prescriptions and medications. Their licensed physicians handle the prescription process,
• 28:02
  Speaker 19: if appropriate. And what really stands out is their customer service.
• 28:07
  Speaker 19: When you call, you talk to a real person who
• 28:10
  Speaker 19: can actually help you. So please don't wait. Visit allfamilypharmacy.com.
• 28:20

• 28:40
  Speaker 9: probably windshield chips are going to be popping up sometime
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: in your future, right? It's just going to happen. No
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: one likes to think about it. It stinks. It's very annoying.
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: But when it happens, who do you turn to? You
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: go to the same people we have been turning to

  Speaker 1: at least one residential zoning district. There was also discussion
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: regarding accessory dwelling units on residential lots. Currently, the secondary
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: dwelling must be occupied by a relative. In the revised ordinance,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the city would require an owner to live in one
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: of the properties. Public input included this opinion.
• 31:18
  Speaker 20: Whatever you come up with should have nothing to do
• 31:21
  Speaker 20: with whether or not the person is related. It's too
• 31:23
  Speaker 20: hard to prove. And I don't even see why you care, actually.
• 31:28
  Speaker 20: I mean, as long as everything else is in compliance,
• 31:31
  Speaker 20: I don't see why you would care who's living there.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Council sent the item back to Planning and Zoning for revisions.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: A Brazos County judge sentenced a habitual DWI offender to
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: 25 years in prison. Judge David Hilburn handed down the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: sentence for 50-year-old Nestor Padron Jr. He had his first
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: DWI charge in 1997 and has been booked into the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Brazos County Jail a total of 34 times. When Padron
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: was last arrested in June 2023, he was found to
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: have a blood alcohol content of 0.20%. His previous arrests,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: including evading arrest, possession of a controlled substance, criminal trespass
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: of a habitation, family violence assault, interference with an emergency call,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: violation of a protective order, and failure to identify. He
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: has previously been in prison on two separate occasions for
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: continuous family violence, assault, and tampering with evidence. A College
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Station man booked his 33rd stay at the Brazos County
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Jail over the weekend. College Station police were called to
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the 700 block of San Pedro on Sunday for a
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: suspicious person's call. After approaching a vehicle in the back alley,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: officers said they smelled marijuana and conducted a probable cause search.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: 40-year-old Joshua Edwards was found in possession of five pills
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: that were determined to be sildenafil, the generic name for Viagra.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Edwards did not have a prescription for the medication, so
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: he was arrested for possession of a dangerous drug and
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: possession of marijuana. He was released on $ 17, 000 bond. His
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: previous arrests include charges for theft, criminal mischief, DWI, criminal trespass,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and possession. High temperatures and dry conditions continued to feed
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: brush fires in parts of the state. The Texas A
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: & M Forest Service is showing five active wildfires. The
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: largest is near Amarillo, where 1,300 acres of land in
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Rustler County has burned. Almost 700 acres northeast of Amarillo
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: have burned, and near Brownwood, multiple agencies have responded to
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a fire that's burned 200 acres and is said to
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: only be 50% contained. Smaller fires have damaged land in
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Bell and Bowie counties because of the high heat and
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: low humidity. More than half of the counties in the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: state are currently under a burn ban. Two people were
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: arrested Sunday after police say they worked together to steal
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: more than $ 270 in merchandise from the Target on Texas Avenue.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: 20-year-old Kareem Izzat and 20-year-old Isabel Martinez were using the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: self-checkout and placed unscanned merchandise into their bags. Their actions
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: were caught on video. Unpaid items included jewelry and clothing.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Both were arrested and charged with theft of property of
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: $ 100 or more, but less than $ 750. They are each
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: free on $ 3, 000 bond. A law enforcement officer in Fort
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Bend County, just outside of Houston, is the latest to
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: be charged with misuse of the flock system. Sergio Rodriguez
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: has been charged with misusing flock license plate readers to
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: track a woman for at least five months. Charging documents
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: say that Rodriguez also placed a tracking device on the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: woman's vehicle. In response to the growing backlash, Flock CEO
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Garrett Langley announced changes to the platform to combat abuse
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: of the system.
• 34:43
  Speaker 17: These changes fall into three big areas, privacy, security, and accountability.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Changes include a built-in tool to flag unusual or repeated searches,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and law enforcement must enter a valid records code or
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: criminal case number. News is presented by American Momentum Bank.

• 36:42
  Speaker 9: 1620-945-WTAW. The Infomaniacs. Good morning, guys. Will says there's a
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: 40% chance on your forecast of rain for Thursday. Today
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: ain't Thursday. Today, just getting up to 101 is going
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: to feel like 105 down to the 70s. And I
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: will get a slight chance creeping in on Wednesday.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah.
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: Cross your fingers. Weather's brought to you by Malik's Service
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: Company and the Texas Heat Air Conditioner works overtime, but
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: a well-tuned AC will save you money and keep you comfortable.
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: Turn to the experts at Malik & Carrier to keep
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. Will is
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: usually very prepared for anything. Are you prepared for when
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: aliens are revealed?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yes. You are? Well, simply because that preparation is the
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: same for anything else.
• 37:28
  Speaker 23: Hide?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Beams, bullets, and Band-Aids.
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: A question is being asked, which I find intriguing, and
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: feel free to weigh in on this, guys. If aliens
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: were revealed tomorrow, like if all of a sudden, hey,
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: guess what? Yep, they're here. They're real, and they're out there.
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: How would you feel? How would you feel about that?
• 37:51
  Speaker 9: Would you be fearful? Curious? Enthusiastic? Where would you land?
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I would be curious and fearful. Not necessarily fearful of
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the alien. Fearful of the gen pops reaction.
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: Because if you... So it's not that you think the
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: aliens would have evil intent. They might. I would think
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: you have to assume that they would. Because why else
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: would they be here?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Entertainment.
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but if you're watching Earth as like sitcom Earth, right?
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: You don't need to actually reveal yourself. You don't need
• 38:30
  Speaker 9: to break the fourth wall. You just watch us do
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: our dumb thing and catch this over here.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild. I don't know if breaking the fourth
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: wall has become somewhat popular in Hollywood these days.
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: Maybe that's a thing. So, yeah, no, I think people
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: would lose their minds. They'd lose their minds.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: There'd be a bunch of guys in custom-made tinfoil hats shouting,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I told you!
• 38:51
  Speaker 14: So.
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: Americans, quite optimistic, twice as likely to feel curious about
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: the aliens versus fearful. They'd be, oh, why are they here? Welcome, friends,
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: as opposed to, oh, no.
• 39:10
  Speaker 18: Oh, no.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Look, if they have the science to travel to get here.
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: They have the science to destroy us. Mm-hmm. That's the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: way I think about it.
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: Because, again, you have to think, why would you go
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: that far for fun?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: No, but Jeff says they they go that far for
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: barbecue and tex-mex.
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: Jeff you make a good nailed it you make a
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: good point dude you maybe they're here for the same reason.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I mean tex-mex and barbecue good barbecue and good tex-mex
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: has grown outside the borders of our great state.
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: I would take my alien for barbecue and tex-mex if
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: he showed up.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: But it has not grown to the even though Interstellar
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: is a great barbecue place.
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it is. I mean, if you could take a
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: brisket to space.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Might as well be Interstellar.
• 39:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, like I said, that's not bad. That is
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: not bad at all. By the way, as far as
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: it goes with that and the idea that we're curious about,
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: what good do you think is going to come out
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: of aliens showing up. Why would you be curious?
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: To share your technology.
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: To get their technology.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: They could share their technology with us. Again, if they
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: have the capability of transgalactic flights and being able to
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: do that, then they have some tech that we should get.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Kind of like the tech that we have been getting
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: since Area 51 and Roswell. That's true. It's weird, isn't it?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: It's weird.
• 40:40
  Speaker 9: We got really good at a lot of things after
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: the 50s.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:44
  Speaker 9: I don't know why.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: It was just scientific advancements.
• 40:47
  Speaker 9: Speaking of scientific advancements, you've seen the new AI slot
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: button on LinkedIn. You don't go on LinkedIn.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I hate, I detest LinkedIn.
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: LinkedIn is one of those sites where almost everything is AI.
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: Almost everything is written by AI or created by AI.
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: So they're testing a quote, seems like AI slot button.
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: for users to click on. So if you see a
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: post that you think is AI, then you click it,
• 41:12
  Speaker 9: and it's supposed to do something. They say it's already
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: been used a million times, which again is not surprising
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: for those of you that go on LinkedIn, because no
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: one talks that way. No human talks that way, not
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: even at work. Who goes around doing hype speeches about
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: B2B sales? It doesn't happen.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Could it be, I just developed a theory, that perhaps
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: AI is hitting the AI slot button on LinkedIn?
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: You think it snitches on itself?
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:47
  Speaker 9: Or maybe it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Doesn't like the other AIs.
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: That are out there. There's this garbage.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing left but AI on LinkedIn. then
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: perhaps it's feeding on itself. A conspiracy theory. The button
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: does nothing.
• 42:01
  Speaker 14: Nothing.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: And they're trying to get you to go to LinkedIn
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: by telling you there's a button, but it's basically the
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: closed door on an elevator.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: That, and it's refining what good AI is, because if
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: it can sneak it through your filter, then it thinks, okay,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: that's the direction we need to go.
• 42:16
  Speaker 9: You are helping the machine.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: You are.
• 42:19
  Speaker 9: Andrew texts in, does the AI slot button flag the
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: post for review? by AI. Almost assuredly, Andrew.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: They are not saying anything about who gets to review
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: these things. I didn't note that in the article.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: No, it is absolutely going to an AI thing to
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: review and make it better. That is what you are
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: doing with this button.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: That's like the wolf or the bobcat reviewing the fox
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: in the hen house. Awful.
• 42:47
  Speaker 9: Back after this.
• 42:48

• 43:29
  Speaker 25: The late Bob Benson used to share a story about
• 43:32
  Speaker 25: a bologna sandwich that taught him the beauty of serving others.
• 43:36
  Speaker 25: Years ago, when Bob was a young man, he was
• 43:38
  Speaker 25: running late for a church picnic, one of those potluck
• 43:41
  Speaker 25: affairs where everybody pitches in a homemade dish. The trouble
• 43:45
  Speaker 25: was Bob had neither the money nor the discipline to
• 43:48
  Speaker 25: keep his refrigerator.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Stocked with food.
• 43:50
  Speaker 25: All he had was a slice of bologna and enough
• 43:53
  Speaker 25: mustard to cover two slices of bread. Bob was so
• 43:56
  Speaker 25: embarrassed by his contribution to the picnic that he sat
• 43:59
  Speaker 25: alone and avoided talking to everyone. Meanwhile, a family nearby
• 44:04
  Speaker 25: brought a feast. Fried chicken, potato salad, baked beans, even
• 44:08
  Speaker 25: ice-cold tea, and two large pies. It was an impressive spread.
• 44:13
  Speaker 25: Even more impressive was when they invited Bob to join them.
• 44:16
  Speaker 25: He resisted because all he had was a bologna sandwich,
• 44:19
  Speaker 25: but the family encouraged him to join anyway, saying, come on,
• 44:23
  Speaker 25: we've got plenty. That's when Bob saw the beauty of
• 44:26
  Speaker 25: the moment. He'd come to the table a peasant, but
• 44:29
  Speaker 25: was invited to feast like a king. If you're struggling
• 44:33
  Speaker 25: to see beauty in life, that's it right there, one
• 44:36
  Speaker 25: person reaching out to another. When you and I serve
• 44:40
  Speaker 25: each other, both of us are transformed.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: One of us is.
• 44:43
  Speaker 25: Lifted up and the other discovers our true potential. No
• 44:47
  Speaker 25: matter what strength you have to offer, its highest purpose
• 44:50
  Speaker 25: is the good it does for someone else. For more

  Speaker 4: The following is a real-life story from Trinity Debt Management.
• 45:01
  Speaker 23: When I was feeling the stress of too much credit
• 45:04
  Speaker 23: card debt, I looked at two different options, debt settlement
• 45:08
  Speaker 23: and debt management. They may sound the same, but guess what?
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: They're not.
• 45:12
  Speaker 23: Debt settlement seemed like a quick fix, but I found
• 45:15
  Speaker 23: out it would destroy my credit, create tax headaches, and
• 45:19
  Speaker 23: hit me with huge fees. They actually told me to
• 45:22
  Speaker 23: stop paying my bills. No way. Not me. Then I
• 45:26
  Speaker 23: turned to a debt management plan developed by the team
• 45:29
  Speaker 23: at Trinity. They worked with my creditors, lowered my payments,
• 45:32
  Speaker 23: reduced my interest, saved me thousands and paid off my debt.
• 45:37
  Speaker 23: And Trinity is a Christian company, which is important to me.

• 46:45
  Speaker 15: Aggies on the preseason coaches' All-SEC teams. One of the
• 46:49
  Speaker 15: players named to the list was kickoff specialist Terry Bussey,
• 46:52
  Speaker 15: who has shown huge improvement over the offseason. Bussey met
• 46:56
  Speaker 15: with the media to talk about the changes he's made
• 46:58
  Speaker 15: over the last year.
• 46:59
  Speaker 22: The big offseason for me, being able to get back healthy,
• 47:02
  Speaker 22: get my body feeling right, probably the best my body's
• 47:04
  Speaker 22: felt since I've gotten to college. Overall, this summer and
• 47:08
  Speaker 22: this spring, I was working on being a better receiver. Overall,
• 47:12
  Speaker 22: just at the line of scrimmage, moving people in my routes,
• 47:16
  Speaker 22: being able to create separation and stuff like that.
• 47:18
  Speaker 15: Bussey also talked about his performance throughout fall camp so far.
• 47:22
  Speaker 22: Not even just being a standout, I mean, just going
• 47:24
  Speaker 22: back to my friends from my freshman year and even
• 47:26
  Speaker 22: last year, just seeing the improvements I made at the
• 47:29
  Speaker 22: line of scrimmage and my routes and just being able
• 47:31
  Speaker 22: to come out of my breaks and stuff like that,
• 47:33
  Speaker 22: just seeing the overall difference in the player I became
• 47:35
  Speaker 22: as a receiver position.
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: As of today, we are 11 days out from seeing
• 47:39
  Speaker 15: the Aggies hit the field and kicking off the start
• 47:41
  Speaker 15: of the 2026 season at Kyle Field. where A &
• 47:45
  Speaker 15: M will be taking on Missouri State at 6 o'clock
• 47:48
  Speaker 15: on September 5th. In the NFL in preseason week two,
• 47:51
  Speaker 15: the Houston Texans fell 22-20 to the Las Vegas Raiders.
• 47:56
  Speaker 15: Texans head coach D'Amico Ryans recapped the performance of the
• 47:59
  Speaker 15: offense and the defense.
• 48:01
  Speaker 17: What I really liked tonight was we improved as a team.
• 48:04
  Speaker 17: Starting off with our offense, the way they came out,
• 48:07
  Speaker 17: opened the game, starting to drive, driving the ball down
• 48:09
  Speaker 17: the field like we did. I thought the O-line blocked
• 48:11
  Speaker 17: it really well. Woody, of course, had some nice runs,
• 48:14
  Speaker 17: but Credit to CJ, too. He made some really good decisions.
• 48:17
  Speaker 17: Didn't throw it around a ton, but when he did
• 48:20
  Speaker 17: throw his good decisions with the football, he moved us
• 48:23
  Speaker 17: up and.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Down the field.
• 48:23
  Speaker 17: So I'm proud of what those guys went out there
• 48:26
  Speaker 17: and did. Defensively, the first group did a really good
• 48:28
  Speaker 17: job as well, going out, getting some stops. Wade came
• 48:31
  Speaker 17: through with the big play, getting the interception for a touchdown.
• 48:34
  Speaker 15: Coach Ryan's also talked about the team's growth in the
• 48:37
  Speaker 15: past two weeks of preseason.
• 48:39
  Speaker 17: That's our mantra. That's what we were built on is
• 48:41
  Speaker 17: attacking the football. So when we do that, it puts
• 48:44
  Speaker 17: us in a really good position. So I saw a
• 48:45
  Speaker 17: lot of improvements from our team from week one to
• 48:48
  Speaker 17: where we are now. Definitely played our style of football,
• 48:52
  Speaker 17: our brand of football. I felt a more physical team.
• 48:54
  Speaker 17: I felt like guys played fast. Felt like we played
• 48:56
  Speaker 17: with some confidence on offense. So I'm I'm pleased with
• 49:00
  Speaker 17: the outing, right, what our guys did early on in
• 49:03
  Speaker 17: the game. Don't like the outcome of how it ended,
• 49:06
  Speaker 17: most certainly. So our backup guys there got a lot
• 49:08
  Speaker 17: to improve upon. But that first half was a really
• 49:11
  Speaker 17: good half of football for us.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: As a team.
• 49:14
  Speaker 15: Next up for the Texans is their preseason week three
• 49:17
  Speaker 15: game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday. night with kickoff
• 49:21
  Speaker 15: set for six o'clock. The Dallas Cowboys traveled to Arizona
• 49:24
  Speaker 15: for their preseason week two game and beat the Cardinals
• 49:27
  Speaker 15: 34 to 13. Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer spoke about
• 49:32
  Speaker 15: having a two to zero preseason record.
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: I think, you know, the wins are great. I've always
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: thought because my dad said it, the The preseason record
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: is never remembered, but I think what we've shown the
• 49:43
  Speaker 7: last two games is there's a play style about this team,
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: whoever's in the game, and that's one of physicality, effort,
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: playing together, and I do think that we played that
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: way tonight for really four quarters, and I'm proud of.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: The guys for that.
• 49:57
  Speaker 15: Up next, the Cowboys host the New Orleans Saints on
• 50:00

• 50:17
  Speaker 24: HVAC Tech Tip. When's the last time you changed your
• 50:19
  Speaker 24: air filter? A clogged filter restricts airflow, makes your system
• 50:23
  Speaker 24: work harder, and drives up your energy bill, all while
• 50:26
  Speaker 24: circulating dust and allergens through your home. Most filters need
• 50:29
  Speaker 24: to be changed every one to three months. It's one
• 50:31
  Speaker 24: of the simplest things you can do to protect your system.

• 50:47
  Speaker 27: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 50:50
  Speaker 27: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 50:53
  Speaker 27: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 50:55
  Speaker 27: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 50:59
  Speaker 27: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 51:04
  Speaker 27: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 51:06
  Speaker 27: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 51:09
  Speaker 27: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.

  Speaker 9: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, y'all. Hot today, 101. 105 on the
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: heat index down to the 70s tonight. Weather's brought to
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: you by United Roofing and Sheet Metal, home of the
• 52:32
  Speaker 9: Duralast roof system, the world's best roof. Give them a
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: call at 268-ROOF or go to unitedroofingpros.com. Just stick your
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: head right in that oven.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I decided yesterday I'm done with it. I'm really over it.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: And all of you people back in the winter who
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: were saying, I can't wait for summer.
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: I never want to hear that noise. I know what
• 52:54
  Speaker 9: this feels like. It's not good.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to stay inside. If we get rain on Thursday...
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go out and dance in it.
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I will sit myself down in a chair and let
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: it pour over me. Just soak.
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: Just get a nice soak.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: But other than that, I'm not going outside during daylight hours.
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, speaking of ovens, what was this thing I saw
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: about 10% of us use our ovens?
• 53:20
  Speaker 27: 10%.
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: One in 10.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: One in 10. Use it for storage.
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: Storage. Storage, I guess. You know what? I laugh, but
• 53:29
  Speaker 9: I also get it.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: I bet you know the one. Think of ten friends.
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: You got one friend that you know, that you're pretty
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: suspicious never uses that oven unless it's just a store thing.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I don't have any. Those people are not my friends.
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: I got a few. I got a few that I
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: can think of that's like.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Now, I have known people that have stored things in
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: ovens because of the fact that, number one, it's not
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: some place that people.
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: Would look for these things. No one's ever going to
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: check it out.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: And number two, that it is... Got somewhat of a
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: fire protection thing to it.
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, like a safe, but not a safe.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: But not a safe.
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: Here's the thing. Especially younger, a lot of people go
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: get takeout, and then they just use the microwave. So sad.
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: They never actually have to use the oven because you
• 54:16
  Speaker 9: just throw it in there and punch the stupid button
• 54:19
  Speaker 9: and move on with your life. Call it good.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: And people that want to live like that, that's fine.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking to myself, I don't use the
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: oven as much as I do the stovetop. I'm not
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: much of a baker, but I do use the oven. Exactly.
• 54:33
  Speaker 9: You can use, but you can use, see?
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Not for storage.
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: Every once in a while, you're going to roast something, right?
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, throw a roast in there or some breads. I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: like doing some veggies in the oven. You know, put
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: some in there, some seasoning, a little olive oil drizzled
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: on top. Oh, yeah.
• 54:51
  Speaker 9: What do you store? That's the other question. What goes
• 54:54
  Speaker 9: in the oven?
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: So I think that some people have used it to
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: store certain kitchen items. Like if you don't have a
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: place for your pots and your pans and your roasters
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: and things like that.
• 55:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, sure.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: And they have some ovens to have that little drawer
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: at the bottom.
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: They all have the storage tray.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Some do, some don't.
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: Some don't? But you sure you have a cabinet?
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think.
• 55:17
  Speaker 9: Somewhere to put this stuff.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: But people are living in small spaces now, and they
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff. So what would you.
• 55:24
  Speaker 9: Oh, I store my cast iron pan and special baking
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: pans in my oven.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: You see, I can see that.
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: In one of my ovens because I got to. Oh,
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: that's what we did.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: You are one of those two oven people, Lisa. Yes, Lisa.
• 55:42
  Speaker 9: Will, we host a show on WTAW. This is a
• 55:45
  Speaker 9: two oven audience.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: I've got two ovens.
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: Yes, you do. How many fridges you got?
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Just at the primary house?
• 55:55
  Speaker 9: Where you live, not the other one.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Okay. So one main fridge.
• 55:59
  Speaker 9: One main fridge.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: And then there's a fridge in the bar and there's
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: a fridge on the patio. You're a three-fridge family. Those
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: are small. Those are small.
• 56:07
  Speaker 9: A three-fridge family and two ovens.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like little dorm fridges, one in the
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: bar and one in the outdoor area for cooking.
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: Lisa's a two-fridger, by the way.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: She's a two-fridge, two-oven.
• 56:21
  Speaker 9: Kind of guy. Guys, let's... Oh, wait a minute.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: She says she has three.
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: How many fridges and how many ovens are in your
• 56:30
  Speaker 9: home right now?
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Now, you're just talking fridges because we also have a freezer.
• 56:37
  Speaker 9: Just fridges.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Just fridges.
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: Just fridges.
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: 979-695-1620.
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: What is your count? Text it in to us. Oh,
• 56:42
  Speaker 9: my God.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: We have an image here.
• 56:50
  Speaker 9: We're going to have to take a break.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got to come back to it.
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: We're coming back to the 1620-945-WTW.
