  Speaker 1: Brazos County detention officer has been suspended after an arrest
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: in College Station. 26-year-old Dwayne Andre Richards was off duty
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: at the time of the incident early Tuesday. Reports say
• 0:18

• 0:22

• 0:26
  Speaker 1: The Brazos County Sheriff's Office suspended Richards pending the outcome
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of an internal investigation. Richards became a detention officer in
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: August 2024. As of Tuesday evening, he remained jailed on $ 20, 000 bond.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: No one showed up for last night's public hearing for
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the city of Bryan's proposed $ 569 million budget. The city
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: will hold a public hearing on September 8th to discuss
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the tax rate of 62.4 cents per $ 100 valuation. The
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: city of Bryan announced today that the world's largest privately
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: held industrial gases company will be opening shop in Bryan.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Messer will construct a state-of-the-art air separation unit in the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: city that is expected to be complete by late 2027.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Messer has over 150 production facilities and over 5,000 employees
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile. The
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Welburn Special Utility District is urging residents to follow guidelines
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: because water stores are low. Watering is prohibited during daylight
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: hours and all residents are limited to watering their lawns
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: only twice per week. which is based on your address.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Visit WTAW.com for more information. There's a new twist in
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the state's water plans.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Currently, the long-term water plan suggests that communities will need
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to spend a whopping $ 174 billion over the next 50
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: years to avert a crisis. But at a meeting this week,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: it was revealed that the rapid rise in data centers
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: were not part of this plan.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: We have already started looking at how we're going to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: project for data centers.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Matt Nelson with the Texas Water Development Board says that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: includes working with energy regulators to figure out where these
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: warehouses full of computers are coming. And he's confident that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the developers will be more transparent in the future. In
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Lawyers for Minnesota were in a Brownsville courtroom Tuesday fighting
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Governor Abbott to extradite an ICE agent facing four counts
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: of felony assault in the Gopher State. Agent Christian Castro
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is accused of shooting through the front door of a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Minneapolis house in January, injuring one, then lying about it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Abbott's argument against extradition is that Castro doesn't qualify because
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he didn't flee to Texas. He was ordered to return
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: by Homeland Security. Castro was arrested in Harlingen in late May.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: This is very different from the excuse Governor Abbott gave
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: last week when he demanded Minnesota repay the United States
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: for the federal fraud committed in their state.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I don't trust Tim Walz on anything,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: let alone something like this.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz filed suit to prevent Texas from
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: releasing Castro on Thursday. They fear he's a flight risk.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: A federal grant is bringing new life to a college
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: station park. The $ 185, 000 grant will allow the city to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: replace playground equipment at John Crompton Park. Work starts Saturday
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and is scheduled to be completed by the end of September.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It appears as though Senator Ted Cruz might be making
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: another run for the White House. When asked if the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: party is rallying around Vice President J.D. Vance, here's what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Cruz had to say.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: There's going to be a full discussion about who we
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: are and what we believe.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Cruz is a lawyer by trade, but shot down suggestions
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that he could instead be a Supreme Court justice. He
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: says that President Trump asked him three times if he
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: wanted to be nominated, and all three times he said no.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: More news ahead at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com. I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: All right, hot today again, but the chance of rain
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: is officially in the forecast for the next couple of days. Like,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: we are in a window. We might see... A stray
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: shower or thunderstorm today. 20% is what we're looking at.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: And then up to 40% Thursday. Another 20% Friday. And by, Will,
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: I kid you not, by Friday, highs that are not
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: 100 degrees.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what. That's a good thing. Because,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: first of all, again, if it rains, I'm going to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: be dancing in it. But I feel it. I got
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the feeling coming on that it is going to rain.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Yesterday had some clouds.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yesterday afternoon kind of looked a little rainy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: Maybe we get there. Who knows?
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: But, yeah, today, in the meantime, heat advisory is still
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: in effect, all that stuff. Weather is brought to you
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: by Malik Serves Company. The tech seat air conditioner works overtime.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: But a well-tuned AC will save you money and keep
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: you comfortable. Turn to the experts at Malik and carry
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: you to keep your AC running properly. Malik Field. the difference.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: How much did that suck yesterday?
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: What an awful day.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't a great day.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: Awful day.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming we're talking about my air conditioning
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that just went out.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: No, we will talk about that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: We're talking about Dolly Parton.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Dolly Parton. American saint.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: The thing about Dolly is that she was universally liked.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You don't find anybody that disliked Dolly Parton.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: No, it's actually quite remarkable.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: The I don't know that there's anyone else on the
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: planet that came to mind as someone that was universally,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: universally loved. You don't find the con about Dolly Parton.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: There's no one out there posting like, well, you know, Dolly.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: Did this back in the... No.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: It's everyone.
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: Everyone.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: It's it's it's almost impossible to do.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are people that get close, but but
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: nobody's nobody did it quite like she did. One of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: my favorite things about her was that she would never
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: under any any circumstances discuss politics.
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: No.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And if you as a member of the press brought
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it up to you to her. She would actually get
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a little angry about it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: She was actually quite a good deflector on that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: She was.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know about that, but moving on.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: And, yeah, it's just something she never got into. What's
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: the point?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: She was into it. She just never spoke about it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she never, like.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Her deal was, why should I alienate half of my
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: potential audience?
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Never, never something.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Which is something I wish a lot of artists these
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: days would take a page from that particular book. You
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: don't have to be. You can if you like, but
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you do not have to be standing on a political line.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no requirement.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: None whatsoever. And she walked that with amazing grace and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: just the things that she did. My thoughts yesterday were
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: simply this. Yesterday afternoon, I texted you just a few
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: minutes after the news broke. We are very fortunate to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: have lived in the time that we are living in,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that we get to share the planet with people like
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Dolly and people like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, who
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: should be wrapped in bubble wrap. now and put someplace
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: where he's perfectly safe.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: If something happens to Willie Nelson, I'll tell you, you're
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: probably not going to get a show the next day.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It's going to be tough.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: It's going to.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Be very tough.
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's going to be bad.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Interestingly about Dolly, she would not send you emails. She
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: did not do anything on the computer, except for if
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: she was corresponding with you, she would type out a letter,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: sign it, hand it to her assistant who would then
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: scan it and then send you either the fax or
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a scan of that letter that she had typed out.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: The last human standing that relied on fax machine, Dolly Parton.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Which is another thing I dearly love about her. Did
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you see some of the letters that she has sent
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: have been posted?
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: I've seen, the one I saw that I think probably
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: got shared the most was the one involving Eminem.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Incredible.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Where Eminem never met her, which is supposed to be like,
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: I wish I would have gotten a chance to meet.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: But he had gotten inducted into the Rock and Roll
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: Hall of Fame because, frankly, you know, rappers get into
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a different conversation.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: But Dolly, from out of nowhere, decided she was going
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: to write him a letter about how great it was
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: that he had gotten into that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: And again, had never met him.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Never once.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: Never met him, but just like, hey, you know, congratulations,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: this is great. And the whole nine yards.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: She called him the very best at rap despite her
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: limited familiarity.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Well, she was right on.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: She also said that she felt an unexplained connection to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: him and regretted not meeting him at the ceremony and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: urged him to keep doing what you're doing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 12: Man.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine having a letter from Dolly Parton?
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: No, I'd have fallen over dead. That's what I'd do.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I'd just....
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: If I would have seen.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: If I would have met her, I would have fallen
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: over dead. And I never got a chance. I know
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: there are some people that... Again, I'm certain... And I
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: haven't gotten a chance to, like, wander up and down
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: the halls. Or I should have sent out an email yesterday.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Because I know there's people in the building who probably
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: have met her. Or worked with her. Or done things
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: like that. Never got the chance to. And that stinks.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: But then again, yeah, what would I have done if
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: I had walked in a room and Dolly Parton was there?
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: It's like.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know, you and I have both had the opportunity
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to be around celebrity, right? But there are certain ones that,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: despite our desire to maintain a straight face and to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: be cool.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: There's not many of them, but it's like any living beetle,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: which there's only one now.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: I think there's two, if you count Ringo. Definitely dollar part.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You've got to count Ringo. Come on.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: Willie.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: You've never met Willie?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Never.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Have you met Willie?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, I have.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: What was that like?
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: It was a quick handshake sort of thing.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Would have fallen over dead.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I played Willie Nelson's golf course, too.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Okay. Good for you.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Good lord.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Um.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know. Like we were thinking about like, OK,
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: what are we going to do today? What do you do?
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: WTAW originally enough was a country.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: It was back in the day.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: Not anymore, though.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: But we do have a country music station down the
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: hall called Willie. And I do have their entire music
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: library right here.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: Like the whole thing.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Should we decide we want to just play some Dolly
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Parton music intermittently throughout the show?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: My question is, it's so hard. Because there's so much
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: material to pick from.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: 3,000 songs, Will.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Not that I have 3,000 Dolly Parton songs, but she
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: wrote 3,000 songs.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Prolific artist.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: 3,000 individual pieces of music.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: And not just the ones that everybody knows and loves, right?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: The Code of Many Colors, I Will Always Love You,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: 9 to 5, which, by the way.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: Iconical.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: September 25th has been suggested to be Dolly Day, 9
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to 5. Yeah. But there's so many of those that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: everybody knows and loves. I like going and finding those
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: rare things. I watched a video of her performing.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, you know what? Give me a second, because, yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: we can dig up some of the.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: The songs you might not necessarily have heard from Dolly.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: Because, I mean, that was the thing yesterday.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: If you just kind of kept refreshing the thread, people
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: would throw up things.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Obscure, but very cool things.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: And appearances that you had no idea. Either you forgot
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: they happened or you had no idea at all they
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: ever happened.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: And the internet is a wonderful thing.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Sometimes.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Occasionally. Which means we can find a lot of that
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: and share it with.

• 12:00

• 15:12
  Speaker 7: Some of the more interesting things that she did. Because,
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, there was no... She never missed.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: No, there wasn't anything bad. Well, they never missed. There
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: was just obscure and not obscure.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, just things that you probably have not heard yet.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: In the the tribute category which we'll get to uh
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: coming up later on uh but first let's get down
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: to business reasons to celebrate uh 26 of august 2026
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: woo boy today is make your own luck day is
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: it really a national observance built around the idea that
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: lucky uh often comes From preparation.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: Persistence, and putting yourself in situations where good things can happen.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to be in the right spot at
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the right time.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: The only thing that jumps out at me when you
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: say make your own luck is that line in Titanic
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: with the villain Billy Zane reminding everyone that a real
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: man makes his own luck. Like when you have to
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: steal someone's baby to get into a lifeboat.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: Real man makes his own luck.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: Just, you know, however, however, however it needs to come
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: to that.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I would say that's probably more related to a karma discussion.
• 16:18
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: Musical yoga day today.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Musical yoga.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Celebrates combining yoga with music, whether that means practicing poses
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: to a curated soundtrack or just whatever.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: Enjoy it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Well, now they took that from musical yoga to, you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: goat yoga and whatever else they can dream of.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: Puppy yoga.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Coming to Feral Fitness.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Tomorrow, in case you were interested. It's exactly what you
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: think it is. Aggieland Humane Society brings the puppies. You
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: bring the yoga. Everyone wins.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything resembling exercise if you bring me
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a puppy.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: That's the problem.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Unless exercise can be defined as petting the puppy.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: That's the thing.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know how you focus... In an environment like that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: There's no focus.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Because yoga is supposed to be like an internal meditation thing.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: And you have these. I mean.
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: No.
• 17:05
  Speaker 16: No.
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: Pass.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Just. I'll sit. Diametrically opposed.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: I'll sit on the floor and pet some dogs. Which
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: of course is acceptable.
• 17:11
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And it'll do amazing things for my soul.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: Cherry Popsicle Day.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Weird.
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I used to like a cherry popsicle. But the older
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I get the more it tastes like cough medicine.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: It does taste like cough medicine. It tastes like cough medicine.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: There's no way around it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: None.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Dog Day.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: National Dog Day.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: That's a big one.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: 2004 is when it started.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Shocked, by the way, that it was that recent.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Same, man.
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: Same.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: You didn't have a dog day until 2004?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: If you're dog people, chances are good that most days
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: are National Dog Day. True.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: McChicken Day, a celebration of the McChicken sandwich from McDonald's.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Is the McChicken Day older than National Dog Day? Because
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: if so, I'm going to be mildly upset.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: We had 24 more National McChicken Days than National Dog Days.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: See, that's one of the things that's wrong with our culture.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, something is drastically misprioritized. Webmistress Day. A wonderfully dated
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: piece of internet terminology. Webmaster, of course, the common term
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: for an IT guy. Webmistress is the female counterpart. The
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: web mistress day seems like that could also mean other things.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Probably. And then you get into the whole discussion on
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it's just one name. Leave the gender out of it. I.T.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: The I.T.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Guy, the guy who judges you every day, single day.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Ten days left until Aggie football, in case you were counting,
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: but you all are.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: And what do you have in birthdays?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: In birthdays, we've got Brian Kelly from Florida, Georgia Line.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: He is 41 years old today. John Mulaney, the comedian, actor,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and writer is 44. Chris Pine is 46, plays James T.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Kirk on the new Star Trek movies. He was also
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: in the Wonder Woman movies. Macaulay Culkin is 46 years
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: old today.
• 19:03
  Speaker 18: Yikes.
• 19:04
  Speaker 19: Yikes.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: For what he's been through, though, I think he's doing okay.
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: He's doing all right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Doing all right. Melissa McCarthy is 56 years old today,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the comedian who's been in multiple movies and, of course,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: said some funny things. Chris Burke is 61. Corky from
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Life Goes On. Oh, wow. 61 years old today, which
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: is fairly remarkable.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 19:25
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Valerie Simpson is 80. She was the sweetest half of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Ashford and Simpson. You remember their hit, Ain't No Mountain
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: High Enough? Oh, yeah. All of that solid as a rock.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Geraldine Ferraro was born on this date in 1935, the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: first woman nominated for vice president of the United States.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Michael Jeter was born on this date in 1952. He
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: was Elmo's mime-like buddy, the second Mr. Noodle on Sesame Street. Street.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: He was also in Sister Act 2 and a couple
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of others, Patch Adams, and born on this date in 1910.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Mother Teresa, St. Teresa of Calcutta.

  Speaker 12: Harley-Davidson on Highway 6.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: They showed me my options. They told me what my
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.
• 20:54
  Speaker 15: Schulte Roofing, the home of the bulletproof roof.
• 21:01
  Speaker 21: For generations, American retirement relied on a stable three-legged stool. Now,
• 21:06
  Speaker 21: that's pension, Social Security, personal savings.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Now, to be honest, that stool kind of looks to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: be broken.
• 21:12
  Speaker 21: If you are near retirement age, relying solely on paper
• 21:16
  Speaker 21: assets could possibly put your lifestyle at risk. I put
• 21:20
  Speaker 21: a portion of my portfolio into physical gold and silver.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: And you know what?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It's a time-tested way for me.
• 21:26
  Speaker 21: And helped me to fortify a lot of the money
• 21:29
  Speaker 21: that I was trying to save when I finally was
• 21:31
  Speaker 21: able to save money.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Now I only go to one gold company. It's GoldCo.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: They're also our partners, but I'm also a customer.
• 21:37
  Speaker 21: And they can show you how to get properly diversified
• 21:40

• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Here's a tale of Becky.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Didn't know what to do with new meds prescribed and
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: no real cost clue.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: She squinted at prices.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: That can't be right.
• 24:13
  Speaker 24: Then tapped GoodRx and saw the light.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: She can get a deal. Book telehealth if she feels.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: Learn about those meds without any stress.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: That one little app does all the rest.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Even my horse downloaded it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 18: Bang.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Save time and money on prescriptions.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Check GoodRx.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: GoodRx is not insurance.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Brazos County detention officer was arrested in College Station early Tuesday.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: 26-year-old Dwayne Andre Richards was off duty at the time
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: of the incident. An investigation by College Station police resulted
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: in the arrest of Richards on charges of family violence
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: assault of a household member impeding breath or circulation and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: interfering with an emergency call. The Brazos County Sheriff's Office
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: has suspended Richards pending the results of an internal investigation.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Richards was employed as a detention officer since August of 2024.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: As of Tuesday evening, he remained jailed on $ 20, 000 bond.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Last night's Bryan City Council meeting was brief. It was
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a special meeting with the intention of holding a public
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: hearing on the city's proposed $ 569 million budget. Do we
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: have anyone signed up to speak? All right, then we
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: will close the public hearing. With no one showing up
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: for the hearing, the meeting adjourned in under five minutes.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: In that time, council was able to approve $ 10. 6 million
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: in spending, as well as agreements for the backup dispatch
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: facility with the City of College Station and Brazos County.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Three individuals were reappointed to the Destination Bryan Board of Directors,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Spencer Clements, Wade Beckman, and Kendra Fry. The city will
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: hold a public hearing on the tax rate on September 8th.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Record-breaking heat, bone-dry conditions, and heavy winds continue to fuel
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the monster blaze in Palo Pinto and Jack counties. Governor
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Abbott announced that FEMA has approved a request for fire
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: management assistant grants to help. Over 50,000 acres have burned
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: as the fire grew at a rate of roughly 6,000
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: acres per hour yesterday. Palo Pinto Emergency Services District 1
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Chief Danny Watkins.
• 26:28
  Speaker 17: Because of the fire conditions and the fuel load, we're
• 26:30
  Speaker 17: going to engage where we can, but the homes are
• 26:33
  Speaker 17: the number one priority today.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: At least five structures have been destroyed so far. Evacuations
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: continue in both Palo Pinto and Jack counties. With temperatures
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: around 108, weather conditions aren't helping. Amy Meyer is with
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the Palo Pinto ESD.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: With gusts today expected up to 27 miles per hour,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: it's going.
• 26:52
  Speaker 13: To be a battle.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Governor Abbott says Texans must limit activities that can cause
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a spark and heed the guidance of state and local officials.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Wixon Creek and Wellburn are under watering restrictions. Wellburn is
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: urging residents to follow mandatory guidelines because water storage is low.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Watering is prohibited during daylight hours, and all residents are
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: limited to watering their lawns only twice per week, which
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: is based on your address. Visit WTAW.com for more information.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Some soldiers in Texas are moving into new barracks. The
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: new barracks at El Paso's Fort Bliss were 3D printed.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Instead of stacking cinder blocks, a robot squirts a rope
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of concrete mix to build the main structural walls. The
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: price tag for the dorms came in around 10% cheaper
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: than traditional costs. Colonel Michael Sojka said the housing was needed.
• 27:45
  Speaker 23: A bit more folks down here for the Joint Task
• 27:47
  Speaker 23: Force Southern Border and other missions meant that we were
• 27:49
  Speaker 23: stressed a little bit on our barracks capacity.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Soyka says the thermal efficiency of the 3D-printed barracks is better,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and it was built three times faster than standard military construction.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Governor Abbott continues to fight the extradition of an ICE
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: agent accused of four counts of felony assault in Minnesota.
• 28:07
  Speaker 25: Governor Abbott says he's not obligated to hand over charged
• 28:10
  Speaker 25: ICE agent Christian Castro to Minnesota. In a new filing,
• 28:14
  Speaker 25: Abbott's lawyers raised doubts that Castro qualifies for constitutional extradition
• 28:19
  Speaker 25: because he didn't flee Minnesota. ICE ordered him to return
• 28:22
  Speaker 25: to Texas. That's where he was arrested in May. Very
• 28:25
  Speaker 25: different from Abbott's argument last week.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: It's time for Minnesota.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: To step up and repay the United States of America
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: and Americans for all the fraud that they've committed in
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: their state under federal programs.
• 28:36

  Speaker 25: Castro's accused of firing his gun through the front door
• 28:41
  Speaker 25: of a Minneapolis home in January, injuring one and then
• 28:44
  Speaker 25: lying about it. Minnesota is trying to stop Texas from

• 28:54

  Speaker 1: not been released. A federal grant is bringing new life

  Speaker 1: Work starts Saturday and will be completed by the end
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: of September. Senator Ted Cruz is hinting about his future plans.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: In an interview with MSNOW, Cruz made it abundantly clear
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: he will be running for president again. The Republican said
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a discussion in the party about
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: who they are. I'll certainly be part of the discussion
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: because I care deeply about economically. I think we should
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: be a conservative party. Cruz is a lawyer by trade,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: but shutdown suggests that he could instead be a Supreme
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Court justice. He says that President Trump asked him three
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: times if he wanted to be nominated and three times
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: he said no. In San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News.

• 30:00
  Speaker 3: build in places that people don't appreciate what you're bringing.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Arch Alpin made the remarks at the opening of their
• 30:06

  Speaker 7: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. It's the Infomaniacs.
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: 979-695-1620.
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: Obviously, if you have any Dolly Parton material, send it
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: our way.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: We'd love to see it. We'd love to hear your
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: remembrances if you have those. I know some of you
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: guys do.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Just the way it goes. And, yeah, we'll be playing
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: some more stuff from her coming up later on in
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: the show. 103... Is that right?
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: Did I say that right? Or is it the heat index?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: It's 103.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: Let me check.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Does it matter at this point?
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: Real 103.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, great.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Real life 103.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: About a 20% chance of rain going to hover around
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: this afternoon or evening. Tomorrow, 101 with a 40% chance
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: of showers, which would be welcome. And then by Friday,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: we're not topping out in a 100-degree range for a
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: few days, which would be nice. Weather's brought to you
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: by Malik's Service Company and the Texas Heat Air Conditioner.
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: Ironic.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: But a well-tuned AC will save you money and.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Keep you comfortable. Turn to the experts at Malick and
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Carrier to keep your AC running properly. Malick, feel the difference.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: The irony is that you suffered a personal loss.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Yesterday that was not related to Dolly Parton.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: So the B & B house was a 1979 construction.
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how old... There's two HVAC systems in it.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how old each of those were, but
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: they were ancient. I don't know that they were original,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: but they're every bit of 20-plus years old. Right. And
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: we've been limping those along for a while.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: You might remember Will was talking about doing some repairs.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Friday afternoon it went out. And it's got leaks
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: in the coolant system, and it's been a challenge for
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a while. And God bless my AC guy. And I
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: have also felt the difference when my AC guy wasn't
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: available and reached out to some of our sponsors here
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: on the show, and had them out there working on
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the system, just trying to keep things together. Yesterday, right
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: after the show, so it's, you know, I'd get home
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: 10-ish or so. I'd go in the house to start
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: getting things turned over. And in the half of the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: house that has the worst of the two AC systems... Uh,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: with the setting on 74, it was reading 80. So
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I just, I was like, man, I can't keep throwing
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: all this money at it. We just got to go
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: ahead and bite the bullet. So I called my guy.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: You decide to put that old, uh, put that old horse.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: That one's going down. And hopefully later in the year,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: maybe the other one in that house going down as well. But, uh,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: by the time this year is done, I will have, uh,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I will have purchased four. Because I've got two traditional
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: rental houses that are having... You get four.
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry. Did you say the end of the year?
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: You're going to be buying four air conditioning units?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Four. Four.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: I was playing this for the air conditioning. I should
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: be playing it for you.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: My bank account.
• 34:48
  Speaker 20: Based on that.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: That's awful.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: God awful. God awful. But it is what it is, right?
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: And.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Just one of those things you just got to put
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: your helmet on and drive on, you know?
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: Some might say that you are, well, when you get
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: the new ACs in, how are you going to treat
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: those ACs in your rental unit? Because one of the
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: things that a lot of people are doing now, not allowing.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: to change the temperature on those air conditioners.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: There was some discussion around the hallways this week about
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that sort of thing.
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: No.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Now, I can think of nothing that will ruin my
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: five-star rating quicker than not allowing guests at my short-term
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: rental to adjust the air conditioning during the Texas summer.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: I have been in an Airbnb where this was the case,
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: where I started... It was like one of those... It
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: was a thermostat you could buy... that had an app
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: on it that obviously talked to the person who owns
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: the property.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: They kept it on their phone. So whenever you wanted
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: to change the AC.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: They could basically veto any change that you made to
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: the AC. So if you move it up and down
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: a couple of degrees, maybe they let it slide. If
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: you try to do what I do in hotels, which
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: is crank that down to zero, then they could just
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: be like, nah, son.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Nobody does that quite as often as my wife does.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: She will. And that's the first thing.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: So you're not going there. You're saying that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: No.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And in fact, I was offered the fancy Wi-Fi. You
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: can control it from your phone and monitor it. And
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what? I don't want that.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I want I want the simple things, the things that
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: are proven technology and that work and that aren't connected
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to the Internet. And as far as this conversation goes, no,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I am not. Depriving the people who pay good money
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to stay in my home.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: You do have to ask yourself, what do those people
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: do when they find out they don't have control over
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: the AC?
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I've got 52 straight five-star ratings.
• 36:50
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I am not putting that in jeopardy over a couple
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: of bucks on.
• 36:54
  Speaker 20: The AC bill.
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: The Derek Jeter of Airbnb hosts.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Got a street going. I know it's going to end
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: at some point in time, but it's not going to
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: be because I didn't try to keep the house cool enough.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: If you have seen this or you want to share
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: what your reaction would be, If you ran into a hotel,
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: because it happens in hotels now, too, hotels or an
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: Airbnb where they do not let you change the AC,
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: feel free.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: There would be a scathing, scathing Yelp review.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: Burn it down.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Burn it down.
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: Burn it down.
• 37:23
  Speaker 20: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 37:25
  Speaker 20: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
• 37:28
  Speaker 20: sponsor and friends at Producers.
• 37:31
  Speaker 14: Keep your lawn green and thriving all summer long with

  Speaker 1: Our experts are here to help.

  Speaker 14: and sprinklers to keep every part of your landscape hydrated.

• 37:50
  Speaker 14: but we've got the products and know-how to protect your yard.
• 37:53
  Speaker 14: And don't forget mulch, a smart way to conserve moisture

  Speaker 14: and control weeds. Producers Cooperative's Garden Center, your home for
• 37:59
  Speaker 14: everything gardening.
• 38:00
  Speaker 20: They multiply so that you can divide. Basic math?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Well, hardly.
• 38:05
  Speaker 20: It's elementary horticulture. Many of our perennial plants are propagated
• 38:09
  Speaker 20: by simple division. When their clumps grow large and thick enough,
• 38:12
  Speaker 20: we split the plant, sharing the excess with friends and
• 38:15
  Speaker 20: family or starting new and improved plantings of our own.
• 38:19
  Speaker 20: I have some of the best perennials along with tips
• 38:21
  Speaker 20: on dividing in this fall. I'll be back with those
• 38:23
  Speaker 20: details right after this message.
• 38:26
  Speaker 19: My book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe
• 38:30
  Speaker 19: it's the best work of my career. I self-published it.
• 38:32
  Speaker 19: It's directly from me to your mailbox. There's no publishing house,
• 38:36
  Speaker 19: no retail markups to run up your cost. As I
• 38:39
  Speaker 19: close out the final printing, here's an offer I've never
• 38:42
  Speaker 19: made before. While supplies last, I've reduced the price from $ 38. 95
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: on the jacket to the lowest price ever, only $ 24.
• 38:50
  Speaker 16: 95.
• 38:50
  Speaker 19: It's a high-quality hardback book, 344 pages, 840 of my photographs.
• 38:58
  Speaker 19: It covers every aspect of landscapes, lawns, flower, fruit, and
• 39:02
  Speaker 19: vegetable gardening for every county in Texas. A 48-page perpetual calendar.
• 39:07
  Speaker 19: It tells you when to plant, prune, feed, and protect
• 39:10
  Speaker 19: all the plants that you're growing. That's just $ 24. 95, a
• 39:14
  Speaker 19: signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y dot com.
• 39:25
  Speaker 19: So some of the best perennials would start with daylilies.
• 39:28
  Speaker 19: They form clumps at varying rates depending on the variety
• 39:31
  Speaker 19: and the growing conditions. When you have clumps of six
• 39:34
  Speaker 19: or eight fans or more fans, you can dig and
• 39:37
  Speaker 19: divide them. Use your sharpshooter spade to lift each clump entirely.
• 39:41
  Speaker 19: Break the mother clump into individual plants, gently snapping one
• 39:45
  Speaker 19: root system away from another. Trim the leaves back by
• 39:49
  Speaker 19: half and then set the new transplants 15 to 24
• 39:51
  Speaker 19: inches apart. Use the closer spacings for dwarf varieties and
• 39:55
  Speaker 19: larger distances for tall types. German bearded iris produce large
• 40:00
  Speaker 19: roots more properly called rhizomes. When a planting gets dense,
• 40:04
  Speaker 19: you should dig the plants and cut the rhizomes so
• 40:07
  Speaker 19: that each will have one vigorous plant attached. That generally
• 40:11
  Speaker 19: means that the piece of the rhizome will be 4
• 40:13
  Speaker 19: or 5 inches long, and as you replant them, keep
• 40:16
  Speaker 19: them shallow. Iris prefer that these roots be only an
• 40:19
  Speaker 19: inch or so beneath the soil surface. Not as many
• 40:23
  Speaker 19: people grow violets anymore, and those who do, though, love
• 40:26
  Speaker 19: the early sweet fragrance in the springtime. If your plants
• 40:29
  Speaker 19: have grown thick over the years, lift them with a spade,
• 40:33
  Speaker 19: break them gently into smaller clumps, maybe tennis ball sized,
• 40:36
  Speaker 19: space them 8 or 10 inches apart in their new beds.
• 40:41
  Speaker 19: You should wait until frost to dig and divide old cannas.
• 40:44
  Speaker 19: Let their tops die to the ground first and then
• 40:46
  Speaker 19: dig them and break them into smaller clumps of roots
• 40:49
  Speaker 19: and dormant stem buds. Replant them immediately into loose garden
• 40:53
  Speaker 19: soil and mulch over them to protect them from weather extremes.
• 40:57
  Speaker 19: Now your fallback time to divide cannas will be in
• 40:59
  Speaker 19: very late winter.
• 41:00
  Speaker 20: Just before the new spring growth shoots out. But remember,
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: it comes out in a hurry, so don't delay. It's
• 41:06
  Speaker 20: better to do it in the fall if you can.
• 41:08
  Speaker 20: Like cannas, hardy hibiscus, mallows go totally dormant with the
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: first hard freeze. And that's a good time to dig them.
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: Late winter is your fallback time for them as well.
• 41:19
  Speaker 20: Shasta daisies, coneflowers, and gloriosa daisies are all from the
• 41:23
  Speaker 20: big composite plant family. They all make open clumps of
• 41:27
  Speaker 20: plants that are easily dug with a sharpshooter spade in
• 41:29
  Speaker 20: mid-fall and then gently pulled into separate smaller clumps for replanting.
• 41:35
  Speaker 20: And finally, mums, after they finish blooming and die back
• 41:38
  Speaker 20: to the ground, that's a good time to dig and
• 41:40
  Speaker 20: divide them. I'm Neal Sperry. Prepare your spring flowering plants now.
• 41:45
  Speaker 20: I'll have details in our next program. Until then, happy gardening.

• 42:45
  Speaker 5: We probably fixed hers. Sovac City on the feeder road

  Speaker 27: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 43:04
  Speaker 27: on 1620-945-WTAW. The A & M football team is 16
• 43:10
  Speaker 27: practices into fall camp and are getting closer and closer
• 43:13
  Speaker 27: to the start of the season. Defensive coordinator Lyles Hemphill
• 43:17
  Speaker 27: recaps the defense's progress throughout the camp so far.
• 43:20
  Speaker 28: You know, we had to get, you know, just kind
• 43:22
  Speaker 28: of running out of the stack, meaning, you know, just
• 43:24
  Speaker 28: when the ball gets out, our ability to just turn
• 43:27
  Speaker 28: around and run. That's something we were looking for. in
• 43:30
  Speaker 28: the second scrimmage, and we got it for the most part. Yeah,
• 43:34
  Speaker 28: I think just the overall execution, that's probably the biggest
• 43:37
  Speaker 28: thing we were looking for. The guys have now been
• 43:40
  Speaker 28: in the defense for a spring. Through the first scrimmage
• 43:44
  Speaker 28: of camp, we were just looking for overall execution. I
• 43:46
  Speaker 28: think we got it.
• 43:47
  Speaker 27: Defensive end T.J. Searcy talks about this year's defensive line,
• 43:51
  Speaker 27: the growth of the line, and how he has improved
• 43:53
  Speaker 27: his game throughout the offseason.
• 43:55
  Speaker 18: As far as the defensive line we got this year,
• 43:57
  Speaker 18: I think we got a lot of depth. I feel
• 43:59
  Speaker 18: like we might have got a little bit more depth
• 44:00
  Speaker 18: than we do even last year with them guys going
• 44:03
  Speaker 18: to the league and stuff like that. We got a
• 44:05
  Speaker 18: lot of young guys and our Porter guys who came in.
• 44:07
  Speaker 18: I feel like they're going to make great contributions to
• 44:10
  Speaker 18: the team. God willing, we're trying to grow on what
• 44:12
  Speaker 18: we had last year. We got depth this year. We
• 44:15
  Speaker 18: got more guys this year that there should never really
• 44:19
  Speaker 18: be anybody on the field who's tight. This year, I
• 44:21
  Speaker 18: just got exponentially better as far as using my length,
• 44:26
  Speaker 18: getting off the ball, pass rushing. just being more vocal.
• 44:30
  Speaker 27: Nickelback Jordan Shaw talks about his path to how he
• 44:33
  Speaker 27: began to play the nickel position and what it's like
• 44:35
  Speaker 27: for him to play in that spot.
• 44:37
  Speaker 29: I played corner a little bit at UW, but mainly
• 44:41
  Speaker 29: nickel everywhere I've been. Even in high school, I played
• 44:43
  Speaker 29: safety a little bit, but when I went to the
• 44:45
  Speaker 29: All-America camp, that's when they put me at nickel, and
• 44:47
  Speaker 29: that's when I've just been playing it since. I feel
• 44:50
  Speaker 29: like it allows me to be versatile. I can play man,
• 44:53
  Speaker 29: I can drop zone, I can blitz, I can play half,
• 44:56
  Speaker 29: so it just lets me be versatile.
• 44:58
  Speaker 27: As of today, we are 10 days out from seeing
• 45:00
  Speaker 27: the Aggies hit the field and kicking off the start
• 45:02
  Speaker 27: of the 2026 season at Kyle Field, where A &
• 45:06
  Speaker 27: M will be taking on Missouri State at 6 o'clock

• 45:13
  Speaker 27: four-game home stretch. as they prepare to host the Air

• 45:21
  Speaker 27: Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth met with the media to discuss
• 45:24
  Speaker 27: what he saw from his team in their shutout win
• 45:26
  Speaker 27: over Sam Houston and what the team has been focusing
• 45:29
  Speaker 27: on ahead of their game against Air Force.
• 45:32
  Speaker 17: I think shutout first and foremost. I think it looked
• 45:35
  Speaker 17: like a group that was connected and together and solving
• 45:38
  Speaker 17: the game. I think that was the biggest thing. You know,
• 45:40
  Speaker 17: we went over video yesterday and you could see just
• 45:43
  Speaker 17: in the movement of our group and the way that
• 45:45
  Speaker 17: we were all kind of had a plan and, and
• 45:48
  Speaker 17: we're moving together and solving the game. And obviously we
• 45:51
  Speaker 17: scored some great goals, but I thought the biggest thing
• 45:54
  Speaker 17: was just how connected our group looked. I think we're
• 45:56
  Speaker 17: playing against a good team, you know, obviously, like you said,
• 45:59
  Speaker 17: undefeated and they've scored a lot of goals. So, you know,
• 46:01
  Speaker 17: we're just working on just that staying connected with each
• 46:04
  Speaker 17: other and making sure that, you know, we're doing the
• 46:06
  Speaker 17: work to support one another, both in attack and in
• 46:08
  Speaker 17: defense and, And then continuing to just be good with
• 46:11
  Speaker 17: the ball and making sure that our technical execution is consistent.
• 46:15
  Speaker 27: The Aggies contest against Air Force is tomorrow night at
• 46:18
  Speaker 27: Ellis Field with a start time of 7 o'clock. In
• 46:21
  Speaker 27: the MLB last night, the Houston Astros began their three-game
• 46:24
  Speaker 27: series against the New York Yankees with a 9-7 win.
• 46:28
  Speaker 27: The Texas Rangers traveled to Chicago to face the White
• 46:31
  Speaker 27: Sox and fell in an 11-7 game that now ties
• 46:35

• 46:50
  Speaker 11: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 46:55
  Speaker 11: feels like everything has increased. from groceries to vehicles and
• 46:59
  Speaker 11: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 47:04
  Speaker 11: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 47:09
  Speaker 11: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
