The Infomaniacs: September 23rd 2026 (6:00am) · WTAW - Infomaniacs

0:02
Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. One
0:07
Speaker 1: person is dead after a shooting in Iola Tuesday afternoon.
0:10
Speaker 1: The Grimes County Sheriff's Office confirms that one person is
0:13
Speaker 1: dead after the shooting that took place around 5 o'clock
0:16
Speaker 1: near County Road 173. The man's identity and the events
0:20
Speaker 1: leading up to the incident have not been released. The
0:23
Speaker 1: man shot by an ICE agent in Austin will not
0:25
Speaker 1: be deported for now. The attorney for 28-year-old Wilbur Garces
0:29
Speaker 1: Perez says a federal judge wants him in court next week.
0:32
Speaker 2: We have filed a federal lawsuit, and the judge has
0:35
Speaker 2: ordered that he be present at the first hearing, which
0:38
Speaker 2: is scheduled for Wednesday, September 30th, and that means he
0:42
Speaker 2: won't be deported in the meantime.
0:44
Speaker 1: Kate Lincoln Goldfinch says her client is still in a
0:47
Speaker 1: lot of pain with a bullet lodged in his back.
0:50
Speaker 1: A college station man is back behind bars for the
0:52
Speaker 1: third time in five weeks. 36-year-old Bob Esquivel was arrested
0:56
Speaker 1: at the HTO on Welburn for violating a criminal trespass warning.
1:00
Speaker 1: During his arrest, Esquivel was found with just under two
1:03
Speaker 1: grams of marijuana, so he was arrested for possession and
1:06
Speaker 1: criminal trespass. He is being held at the Brazos County
1:09
Speaker 1: Jail on $ 5, 000 bond. He was arrested twice in August. First,
1:13
Speaker 1: he was harassing two girls outside A & M Consolidated
1:16
Speaker 1: High School. Later, he allegedly tried to talk his way
1:20
Speaker 1: into a home around 10 o'clock at night, offering to
1:22
Speaker 1: host Bible study. In both cases, Esquivel was arrested for
1:26
Speaker 1: public intoxication and released on PR bonds. This is his
1:30
Speaker 1: 28th booking into the jail. The race for the Texas
1:33
Speaker 1: Senate seat is beefing up between Texas Attorney General Ken
1:37
Speaker 1: Paxton and Democratic nominee James Tallarico. Both candidates are weighing
1:41
Speaker 1: in on rising beef prices in the state.
1:43
Speaker 3: Beef prices are up nearly 6% from a year ago.
1:47
Speaker 3: Ground beef more than 7%. The Trump administration is temporarily
1:51
Speaker 3: allowing more imported beef in at a lower tariff rate
1:54
Speaker 3: to boost supply and bring prices down. But cattle producers
1:58
Speaker 3: argue it could drive prices lower, forcing more of them out.
2:02
Speaker 3: And now beef is part of the affordability fight in
2:04
Speaker 3: the Texas Senate race. Both candidates are backing the cattle ranchers.
2:07
Speaker 3: You have Tallarico, who says the foreign beef plan would
2:10
Speaker 3: make it harder for cattlemen to get by. And then
2:13
Speaker 3: Paxton's campaign, who says Texas ranchers should not be undercut
2:16
Speaker 3: by imports anymore. that have different standards.
2:19
Speaker 1: President Trump has defended his decision as necessary because U.S.
2:23
Speaker 1: ranchers need a little help. The race could determine which
2:26
Speaker 1: party controls the Senate after the midterm elections. A federal
2:30
Speaker 1: judge is ordering all Texas state prisons to have air
2:32
Speaker 1: conditioning by the end of 2029. saying current efforts aren't
2:36
Speaker 1: enough to keep inmates cool.
2:38
Speaker 4: According to court documents, U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman says
2:41
Speaker 4: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice should install system-wide air
2:44
Speaker 4: conditioning by the end of 2029, saying it's very doable
2:47
Speaker 4: and not unreasonable. It also states the lack of cooling
2:50
Speaker 4: violates the Eighth Amendment as thousands of inmates were left
2:53
Speaker 4: without air conditioning this past summer. Documents also say witnesses
2:56
Speaker 4: described fellow inmates getting sick, passing out, and going so
2:59
Speaker 4: far as splashing toilet water on themselves to cool off.
3:03
Speaker 4: According to its website, TDCJ says it's making progress with
3:06
Speaker 4: more than 53,000 beds now in air-conditioned housing and thousands
3:09
Speaker 4: more on the way. Emily Capotillo, TSN News.
3:12
Speaker 1: Estimates say 80,000 Texas inmates reside in living areas without
3:17
Speaker 1: complete air conditioning. More news ahead at 6.30 or anytime
3:20
Speaker 1: at WTAW.com. I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. All right, today, hot again.
3:30
Speaker 5: A little baby, little baby, 10% chance of a shower
3:34
Speaker 5: at some point, but really just hot. 9,805 for the
3:38
Speaker 5: feels like and down to 75 tonight. Good morning, guys.
3:42
Speaker 5: We're the Infomaniacs. Weather's brought to you by Malik Service
3:45
Speaker 5: Company and the Texas Heat Air Conditioner Works Overtime. But
3:48
Speaker 5: a well-tuned AC will save you money and keep you comfortable.
3:51
Speaker 5: Turn to the experts at Malik and Carrier to keep
3:53
Speaker 5: your AC running properly.
3:55
Speaker 1: Malik, feel the difference. I got a little shower yesterday.
3:57
Speaker 5: I also got a little sprinkling. Not a ton.
4:01
Speaker 1: No, just enough to water. I've got some pecan trees
4:03
Speaker 1: and containers that I'm waiting for the proper time to
4:07
Speaker 1: plant those. So I've been struggling to keep them alive
4:10
Speaker 1: through the blazing hot summer.
4:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. The blazing still looks like it's in effect
4:17
Speaker 5: at least all day.
4:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at the 10-day, though. Look at the 10-day.
4:20
Speaker 5: Where is it supposed to kick in on the 10-day?
4:23
Speaker 1: Thursday of next week, I believe.
4:24
Speaker 5: Thursday. Okay. All I have right here is up to Tuesday. Now,
4:30
Speaker 5: Tuesday I get a pretty decent chance of rain with
4:32
Speaker 5: a high near 94. I presume that is a.
4:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's a combination of things. We've got that
4:37
Speaker 1: hurricane out in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico
4:40
Speaker 1: that is going to be sending a ton of moisture.
4:42
Speaker 5: Oh, that nice world ender that popped up out there.
4:45
Speaker 5: That's a fun one. It went from like tropical depression
4:48
Speaker 5: to a max out Cat 5 in like 10 hours
4:51
Speaker 5: or something like that.
4:52
Speaker 1: I mean, incredible thing to witness. It's wild. Yeah, it's nuts.
4:55
Speaker 1: So we'll be getting some of that moisture in conjunction
4:57
Speaker 1: with some cool fronts, which will cause us to get
5:00
Speaker 1: a little damp. I'll take it.
5:02
Speaker 5: I'm confused by your day yesterday, and I would like
5:06
Speaker 5: to dive into this a little bit. I think it
5:10
Speaker 5: was yesterday you were talking about you're hosting a baby
5:13
Speaker 5: shower this weekend. And to host a baby shower, it
5:17
Speaker 5: obviously takes a little bit of modification. You've got to
5:19
Speaker 5: decorate the house.
5:21
Speaker 1: And that level of modification would be different for me
5:25
Speaker 1: than it is for the women in my life. They
5:27
Speaker 1: are going over the top.
5:28
Speaker 5: Because I would just, I mean, let's be real. I'm
5:30
Speaker 5: not saying this is the way to do it. I
5:31
Speaker 5: would say, oh, hey, baby shower. Okay, cool. To the
5:34
Speaker 5: backyard we go. And then everyone kind of hangs out
5:37
Speaker 5: by the pool, you know, play a couple of tunes.
5:39
Speaker 1: We set up a bunch of tables and chairs on
5:42
Speaker 1: the patio by the pool. It's going to be fantastic.
5:46
Speaker 1: I collected a pile of boxes. Amazon is cussing us
5:51
Speaker 1: right now, the mail delivery people are. because my wife
5:55
Speaker 1: has ordered a significant amount of stuff. Literally, I've filled
5:58
Speaker 1: up the back end of my UTV with packages.
6:01
Speaker 5: And this is all, this is all decor.
6:02
Speaker 1: This is all decor stuff.
6:04
Speaker 5: The girly things.
6:05
Speaker 1: Yeah. All of that stuff. So all of that has
6:07
Speaker 1: been underway and I'm living in chaos, which is, you know,
6:10
Speaker 1: such fun. Come find out wife pops home yesterday after work.
6:15
Speaker 1: You know, she's a school teacher. They had their fundraiser
6:18
Speaker 1: McDonald's fundraiser last night. So, She was working that. So
6:21
Speaker 1: it was seven-ish, a little bit after when she gets home,
6:25
Speaker 1: that time of the evening where I'm looking at the
6:27
Speaker 1: back bedroom and thinking it's about time to start making
6:31
Speaker 1: that move. And proceeds to tell me that there was
6:34
Speaker 1: a logistical error on her part and that she had
6:38
Speaker 1: promised those tables and chairs to another event.
6:44
Speaker 5: Promised the tables and chairs?
6:46
Speaker 1: Yes.
6:46
Speaker 5: Like the furniture?
6:48
Speaker 6: Yeah.
6:49
Speaker 1: The stuff that we've got, essentially, family tables and chairs.
6:53
Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
6:53
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6:54
Speaker 1: And they live at my in-law's house.
6:55
Speaker 9: Right.
6:56
Speaker 1: And whenever anybody needs them, they go get them, and
6:58
Speaker 1: we parse them out.
6:59
Speaker 5: Okay. So, basically, a party rental. You're running a party.
7:03
Speaker 1: Rental business out of your home. Essentially that, yeah. So,
7:07
Speaker 1: let's see. The 20 folding chairs and the four... folding
7:12
Speaker 1: tables and other stuff was promised to somebody else. And
7:16
Speaker 1: all this stuff was already set up on the back patio.
7:18
Speaker 5: Now, refresh your memory. When was this event that is
7:22
Speaker 5: taking place? Not yours, but the other.
7:24
Speaker 1: Thursday night.
7:24
Speaker 5: So tomorrow night.
7:26
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night.
7:27
Speaker 5: So all of this stuff has to now go.
7:31
Speaker 1: When the wife got home, we had to break down
7:33
Speaker 1: the back patio that had been set up all day
7:35
Speaker 1: on Sunday, move it to the front patio where we
7:39
Speaker 1: stacked it, and those people will come and pick up
7:42
Speaker 1: the supplies, and then they will bring it back, and
7:46
Speaker 1: then we will redo everything that we did on Sunday.
7:49
Speaker 5: Can I ask a follow-up question?
7:51
Speaker 1: Sure.
7:52
Speaker 5: I recall yesterday, around this time, we were talking about
7:56
Speaker 5: your searing back pain.
7:57
Speaker 10: Yes.
7:58
Speaker 5: It was making it impossible for you to stand up
8:00
Speaker 5: off of that stool. Like, someone would come in, and
8:02
Speaker 5: you'd have to Do the little wave thing because you
8:05
Speaker 5: couldn't stand. Was this still in play last night?
8:09
Speaker 1: Yes, and I would say that my recovery has been
8:14
Speaker 1: set back slightly because of the events of last night.
8:21
Speaker 5: Do you need like a triad, like some kind of
8:24
Speaker 5: a journey?
8:24
Speaker 1: You got a chiropractor come up in here?
8:26
Speaker 5: Do we have anyone that listens that can do a
8:29
Speaker 5: quick adjustment?
8:32
Speaker 1: I've never really gone to the chiropractor.
8:34
Speaker 5: I hate going to the chiropractor.
8:35
Speaker 1: So I would prefer a massage if we've got a masseuse.
8:38
Speaker 5: I think that's great live on air masseuse you know

11:54
Speaker 5: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys. Let's get into reasons to celebrate.
11:59
Speaker 5: Like my reason is not hauling over party.
12:04
Speaker 1: Tables and chairs. That's a great reason to celebrate.
12:07
Speaker 5: Full torsion right here. Check this out.
12:09
Speaker 1: I don't see it on my list of celebrations, but
12:12
Speaker 1: that doesn't stop you.
12:13
Speaker 5: No, no, no. That's a personal one. Now, on a
12:17
Speaker 5: larger scale... I wanted to bring two of them to
12:20
Speaker 5: your attention today. National Chocolate Milk Day. And the only
12:25
Speaker 5: reason I'm bringing this up is I'm not a big
12:26
Speaker 5: chocolate milk person.
12:27
Speaker 1: I was when I was a kid. Not anymore. The
12:31
Speaker 1: oldest daughter, her boyfriend is very much into the chocolate milk. Actually,
12:35
Speaker 1: I think both boyfriends, both daughters' boyfriends.
12:37
Speaker 5: They still enjoy chocolate milk into their 20s. Adult milk
12:41
Speaker 5: drinkers are interesting to me. I'm married to one.
12:45
Speaker 1: Not me.
12:47
Speaker 5: It's just not my thing. But but my wife very
12:50
Speaker 5: much will will just house some milk.
12:53
Speaker 1: I used to love drinking milk and then it started
12:57
Speaker 1: treating me poorly. So I gave it up in my research.
13:00
Speaker 1: I found out that that actually, if you can tolerate
13:03
Speaker 1: milk as an adult, you are the person who has
13:06
Speaker 1: a genetic defect. The default for that gene is that
13:10
Speaker 1: adults should be lactose intolerant.
13:13
Speaker 5: So that's the normal way.
13:15
Speaker 1: That's normal.
13:15
Speaker 5: Some of us have evolved.
13:17
Speaker 1: Yes.
13:17
Speaker 5: It's just I cannot enjoy a glass of milk. It
13:22
Speaker 5: just isn't. It's not good.
13:24
Speaker 11: I do.
13:25
Speaker 1: I would if I could. I've been able to dose
13:30
Speaker 1: milk on a small scale.
13:31
Speaker 5: That's right. I know you have a system.
13:34
Speaker 1: So I do that. Like last night, for example, I
13:38
Speaker 1: wanted something sweet. So I took some granola, some fruit,
13:43
Speaker 1: frozen blueberries, fresh berries, some honey, and a splash of milk.
13:49
Speaker 1: And I can do that.
13:49
Speaker 5: Okay.
13:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:51
Speaker 5: Here's the other one, which is arguably more important. It's
13:55
Speaker 5: Morning Show Hosts Day.
13:57
Speaker 1: Is it really?
13:57
Speaker 7: Yeah.
13:59
Speaker 5: I've never heard of it.
14:00
Speaker 1: AI did not put that in my list.
14:02
Speaker 5: No, I found this on a couple of websites. September
14:06
Speaker 5: 27th is indeed acknowledged as morning show host day. No
14:11
Speaker 5: one knows what the origin is. My guess is that
14:14
Speaker 5: there was a radio show at some point that was
14:18
Speaker 5: able to make this stick as a gimmick, and it
14:20
Speaker 5: just kind of kept circulating through the internet only to
14:24
Speaker 5: pop up every couple of years again. and only to
14:27
Speaker 5: be acknowledged by people like you and I, who are,
14:30
Speaker 5: in fact, doing a radio morning show.
14:33
Speaker 1: We did look into it at one point in time.
14:35
Speaker 1: You remember we were talking about how these days exist,
14:38
Speaker 1: and apparently... There's a couple of places where you can
14:40
Speaker 1: enter these onto calendars, and they become, you know, they
14:44
Speaker 1: send them out. So I'm guessing that you're right. Some
14:46
Speaker 1: morning show decided, hey, we should celebrate us, and they
14:49
Speaker 1: did that.
14:50
Speaker 5: I think, from what I can gather on background on this,
14:53
Speaker 5: it's a day of appreciation for people whose job requires
14:56
Speaker 5: them to be entertaining at an hour when most humans
14:59
Speaker 5: are still negotiating their alarm clock. So really, it's appreciation
15:03
Speaker 5: that we can string together a few sentences at this
15:06
Speaker 5: time of the morning.
15:07
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah.
15:09
Speaker 5: And I don't know about that. So you wake up
15:13
Speaker 5: much earlier than me because you come in and you
15:15
Speaker 5: do news.
15:15
Speaker 1: I got to do the news for all the stations.
15:17
Speaker 5: I just yap. So you're here at when?
15:20
Speaker 1: I arrive, if I'm not recording the news by about
15:24
Speaker 1: 10 till 4, I feel late.
15:26
Speaker 5: Okay, so I get here straight up 5 o'clock, which
15:28
Speaker 5: means I wake up not that earlier than 5 o'clock.
15:33
Speaker 1: 2.45 alarm. I'm out of bed by 3.
15:34
Speaker 16: Okay.
15:36
Speaker 5: So that feels painful to me. This says the average
15:41
Speaker 5: morning show host usually wakes up around three o'clock sometime
15:45
Speaker 5: around that, which I can say in other places I've
15:47
Speaker 5: definitely had. It's a miserable time of day to wake up.
15:50
Speaker 1: I like it.
15:50
Speaker 5: But you like it.
15:51
Speaker 1: I like it.
15:52
Speaker 5: See, here's the thing.
15:53
Speaker 1: But remember, I don't like people. So I am suspicious.
15:57
Speaker 5: That most of the people who are listening to the show. Actually,
16:02
Speaker 5: especially at this time, like early, early. have been up
16:07
Speaker 5: for about as long.
16:08
Speaker 1: As we have.
16:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's– I don't think it was popping.
16:10
Speaker 5: There's very few popping. I'm like, oh, I'm just going
16:12
Speaker 5: to listen to Tucker and Will this morning.
16:15
Speaker 1: There's a handful of those. There's a handful of those.
16:17
Speaker 1: We've got people who are on shift work that are
16:19
Speaker 1: turning over. Nurses. Nurses, yeah. Firefighters. Law enforcement.
16:23
Speaker 5: We've got a ton of people. I'll tell you another
16:25
Speaker 5: one that's interesting. Surgeons.
16:27
Speaker 1: Surgeons, yeah.
16:28
Speaker 5: The surgeons love them some talk radio, believe it or not.
16:33
Speaker 5: people working labs, prepping labs at A & M. There's
16:37
Speaker 5: so many people, but all these people share one thing
16:40
Speaker 5: in common. They've all been up since about four in
16:43
Speaker 5: the morning. And so I wanted to know just from you,
16:46
Speaker 5: this is our chance to ask you, when did you
16:49
Speaker 5: wake up this morning?
16:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, what time does your alarm go off?
16:52
Speaker 5: What time does your alarm go off to be doing
16:57
Speaker 5: whatever it is you're doing at 6.22 in the morning?
17:00
Speaker 1: Or on the flip side of that coin- What time
17:04
Speaker 1: do you get off work if you've been working the
17:06
Speaker 1: overnight and you are getting off about this time?
17:09
Speaker 10: Yeah.
17:10
Speaker 5: Is this a, okay, I'm listening to the show while
17:12
Speaker 5: I'm winding down and going home to finish my day.
17:16
Speaker 5: I need the big six guys out there. Dude, I've
17:18
Speaker 5: been up to that. I'm going home. I'm going to shower.
17:22
Speaker 5: Our phone number is 979-695-1620. Give you guys some time
17:27
Speaker 5: to text in and test out this theory of mine.
17:31
Speaker 5: that we are not all that unique when it comes
17:34
Speaker 5: to waking up at that crazy, insane, painful hour of
17:39
Speaker 5: the morning to get in and do your job. So
17:42
Speaker 5: text us, and again, what time does your alarm go off?
17:44
Speaker 5: We'll get back to this coming up in a few minutes.
17:46
Speaker 5: What do we have on birthdays?
17:47
Speaker 1: Well, quickly, there was one national day that I wanted
17:50
Speaker 1: to cover.
17:50
Speaker 5: Did I miss one?
17:51
Speaker 1: National Snack Stick Day. What?
17:54
Speaker 15: Yes.
17:55
Speaker 1: That's not on my list at all.
17:56
Speaker 14: It's on my list.
17:57
Speaker 1: Okay. A nod to the snack stick, and the reason
17:59
Speaker 1: I bring it up is because There is now a
18:01
Speaker 1: new world record for snack sticks. Yeah?
18:04
Speaker 5: What are we looking at?
18:05
Speaker 1: The ConAgra brands who make Slim Jim have made a
18:09
Speaker 1: new Guinness record 429 feet 5 inches Slim Jim. It's
18:12
Speaker 1: a 429 foot Slim Jim? 143 yards. It weighs 70 pounds.
18:23
Speaker 1: So it is the right proportions for Slim Jim.
18:25
Speaker 5: So, in fact, it's not a giant Slim Jim. It's
18:29
Speaker 5: just an extra long Slim Jim. When was the last
18:35
Speaker 5: time you snapped into a Slim Jim?
18:36
Speaker 1: They give me heartburn.
18:37
Speaker 5: It's not my... I'd like to avoid those.
18:41
Speaker 1: Apparently they're good Sasquatch bait, which is why I was
18:44
Speaker 1: thinking you'd build a... 143 yard slim Jim. You're bound
18:48
Speaker 1: to catch a big Sasquatch.
18:50
Speaker 5: That's not, that's not a bad strategy.

31:35
Speaker 4: According to court documents, a judge found that extreme heat
31:37
Speaker 4: inside prisons without adequate air conditioning violates inmates' constitutional rights.
31:42
Speaker 4: The ruling follows a trial over conditions inside Texas prisons
31:45
Speaker 4: where temperatures can climb into the 90s and higher during
31:47
Speaker 4: the summer. Court documents say that Texas Department of Criminal
31:50
Speaker 4: Justice's current efforts, including fans, cold showers, water, and limited
31:54
Speaker 4: air conditioning, aren't enough to protect inmates from dangerous heat.
31:57
Speaker 4: According to its website, TDCJ is already working to expand
32:00
Speaker 4: air conditioning across the prison system with thousands of additional
32:04
Speaker 4: cool beds or beds close to air conditioning now under
32:07
Speaker 4: construction or in the planning stages. Emily Capotillo, TSN News.
32:10
Speaker 1: Roughly one-third of the state's 104 facilities are fully air conditioned.
32:16
Speaker 1: Acting Comptroller Don Huffines is hoping his agency layoffs will
32:19
Speaker 1: help him win the job full-time in November. In one
32:22
Speaker 1: of his first moves since being appointed to the job
32:24
Speaker 1: by Governor Abbott, Huffines called for his nearly 3,000 employees
32:28
Speaker 1: to submit lists of those they would let go first.
32:32
Speaker 1: Huffines then laid off 41 people. SMU political scientist Matthew
32:36
Speaker 1: Wilson calls this a savvy campaign move.
32:39
Speaker 17: Huffines' argument would be the responsibility of the comptroller is
32:44
Speaker 17: to be fiscally prudent above and beyond a responsibility to
32:49
Speaker 17: preserve employment.
32:50
Speaker 1: Huffine's Democratic opponent, State Senator Sarah Eckhart, condemned the firings
32:55
Speaker 1: as a loss of institutional knowledge and expertise. The Texas
33:00
Speaker 1: Rangers are pursuing criminal charges against Camp Mystic.
33:03
Speaker 23: The Texas Rangers have reportedly cited manslaughter and criminally negligent
33:08
Speaker 23: homicide in search warrant affidavits. The New York Times is
33:11
Speaker 23: reporting that Ranger investigator Brant Johnson stated in the document that, quote,
33:16
Speaker 23: these offenses were committed against child campers, including both deceased
33:20
Speaker 23: victims and surviving campers of the flood event, unquote. He's
33:23
Speaker 23: referring to the July 4th, 2025 flood of the Guadalupe River,
33:27
Speaker 23: killing 27 girls and counselors. The Times reported that a
33:30
Speaker 23: Kerr County judge authorized 14 warrants on Friday, allowing investigators
33:35

35:41
Speaker 5: take a few minutes to talk about Mamdani's New York?
35:44
Speaker 1: Sure.
35:45
Speaker 5: One of your favorite topics, I'm sure.
35:46
Speaker 26: Yeah.
35:48
Speaker 1: I've just been looking for an opportunity to go.
35:52
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not a New Yorker. And my brother
35:57
Speaker 5: used to live in New York. He did his bid there.
36:02
Speaker 5: came back to Texas. He has, you know, go up
36:04
Speaker 5: there from time to time, enjoys it.
36:06
Speaker 1: He got the belt buckle. It's all good.
36:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting to me to hear his stories of
36:11
Speaker 5: New York because every story he tells me that he
36:13
Speaker 5: finds to be, like, kind of fun and whatever is
36:17
Speaker 5: just another reason I would never go to New York. Now,
36:20
Speaker 5: that said, a lot of New Yorkers They love them
36:23
Speaker 5: some Mom Donnie. It's okay. I don't know. A lot
36:25
Speaker 5: of New Yorkers do not love them some Mom Donnie.
36:28
Speaker 5: But Mom Donnie's New York is fascinating.
36:29
Speaker 1: The fact that he got elected is another reason why
36:32
Speaker 1: I will never go there.
36:34
Speaker 5: It's wild. So, per usual, he's got some ideas. And
36:40
Speaker 5: one of these ideas that he wanted to institute was
36:44
Speaker 5: the robo-toilet. Were you familiar with robo-toilets?
36:46
Speaker 1: Familiar with the robo-toilet.
36:48
Speaker 5: The robo-toilet is essentially something to keep the people from
36:54
Speaker 5: having to just relieve themselves on the streets of New York.
36:58
Speaker 5: This is something that happens from time to time. Even
37:03
Speaker 5: in tourism, when you go down to watch the ball
37:06
Speaker 5: drop in Times Square, they say wear diapers because there
37:10
Speaker 5: aren't any bathrooms. And you ain't getting out of that
37:13
Speaker 5: crowd once you get in.
37:14
Speaker 1: And you probably ate one of those hot dogs that
37:18
Speaker 1: sits in the dirty water.
37:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, hot dogs they're so proud of. Yeah, so they
37:23
Speaker 5: debuted the robo-toilets free for everyone. Now, why would they
37:27
Speaker 5: be called? Well, first off, let's hear Zoran's explanation here.
37:32
Speaker 5: New York City's number one place to go number two
37:35
Speaker 5: or number one. You don't need to tell me or
37:37
Speaker 5: anyone at City Hall. I mean, cute little marketing.
37:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, a little flippant. Yeah, I like it.
37:43
Speaker 5: So again, it's free. You punch it in. The door
37:47
Speaker 5: pops open. You go in and you relieve yourself.
37:50
Speaker 1: I can't think of any way this could go wrong.
37:55
Speaker 5: You can't? Well, there's a few.
37:57
Speaker 1: Sarcasm. Yeah.
37:59
Speaker 5: This is my favorite. This is the twist. Now, number one,
38:04
Speaker 5: I just don't like those. I don't know how you
38:09
Speaker 5: were going to do the maintenance on these things. Because
38:10
Speaker 5: if you set up free porta-potties everywhere, yeah, it does
38:13
Speaker 5: fix that problem. You have somewhere to go. It creates
38:17
Speaker 5: a new problem. Someone has to go and they have
38:19
Speaker 5: to obviously empty them. They have to obviously clean them.
38:22
Speaker 5: They have to obviously make sure it's not. I mean,
38:23
Speaker 5: you always have hard buckies as to work to keep
38:26
Speaker 5: those bathrooms the way they are.
38:28
Speaker 1: It ain't easy. Now, I have seen in other places
38:32
Speaker 1: where they have these sort of public facilities and essentially
38:36
Speaker 1: the entire thing. gets hosed down between uses. It's got
38:42
Speaker 1: a drain in the floor, and it's just like a
38:46
Speaker 1: car wash, right? All the foam comes down, and then
38:50
Speaker 1: it rinses down. I've seen those, and if those were
38:54
Speaker 1: what you were talking about, there's a chance, a small chance,
38:58
Speaker 1: that that could be functional. I can't imagine Chili Fest
39:02
Speaker 1: toilets scattered amongst the streets of New York City. First
39:06
Speaker 1: of all, They're going to stop from being toilets, and
39:10
Speaker 1: they're going to be the whole house for somebody. Somebody's
39:13
Speaker 1: going to start living in them.
39:15
Speaker 5: Well, I believe that Team Mamdani has thought of that.
39:20
Speaker 1: Oh, have they? They have.
39:22
Speaker 5: Because they instituted one feature that I have never heard
39:26
Speaker 5: of before. That is a strict 10-minute timer.
39:30
Speaker 8: Limit.
39:30
Speaker 1: Oh, now you see, that's just, you talk about communist.
39:34
Speaker 5: 10 minutes and the door pops open. The door, the time,
39:42
Speaker 5: if you are in there longer than 10 minutes or
39:45
Speaker 5: you lose track of time. The door is going to
39:51
Speaker 5: open onto the streets of New York with you in
39:58
Speaker 5: the Mom Donnie toilet. Now, here is the noise that
40:01
Speaker 5: it plays when it's about to expose you to the
40:05
Speaker 5: largest city in America.
40:07
Speaker 29: Attention, your use.
40:08
Speaker 1: Time has expired.
40:09
Speaker 14: The door is opening now.
40:12
Speaker 1: It's so cheery.
40:14
Speaker 5: Imagine you're sitting there doing what you intended to do.
40:18
Speaker 8: Yeah.
40:19
Speaker 5: You got stuck, maybe doom scrolling for a few minutes.
40:22
Speaker 5: You lost track of time and all of a sudden....
40:26
Speaker 14: The door is opening now.
40:28
Speaker 5: That's the most terrifying.
40:29
Speaker 1: Sound I've ever heard. Now, to be fair.
40:31
Speaker 5: That's the most terrifying sound I've ever heard.
40:33
Speaker 1: To be fair, in New York City, you could also
40:35
Speaker 1: connect that to, say, a strobe light on top of
40:37
Speaker 1: said toilet unit so that the crowds could gather and
40:42
Speaker 1: wait for the curtains to open because that's a.
40:45
Speaker 5: Show in New York. I think you need an external
40:47
Speaker 5: clock running down, kind of like the countdown to the
40:49
Speaker 5: ball dropping in time.
40:51
Speaker 30: Your use time has expired.
40:53
Speaker 14: The door is opening now.
40:54
Speaker 5: What a hellscape. Again, I love living here.
40:59
Speaker 1: Places I'm never going to go.
41:01
Speaker 5: Back after this, guys.
41:03
Speaker 1: Good morning.
41:03
Speaker 5: We're the Infomaniacs.
41:05
Speaker 15: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
41:07
Speaker 15: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
41:10
Speaker 15: sponsor and friends at Producers.
41:12
Speaker 11: Ranchers, it's time for you to plan your cattle feed
41:15
Speaker 11: and mineral requirements for your winter feeding program. Take advantage
41:19
Speaker 11: of bulk contract prices and place your order at Producers
41:22
Speaker 11: Cooperative between September 25th and October 17th. Reserve your feed
41:27
Speaker 11: and minerals now and pick up or take delivery as
41:30
Speaker 11: you need them. Contracting runs September 25th through October 17th
41:35
Speaker 11: at Producers Cooperative. Everything nutrition since 1943.
41:42
Speaker 15: What's the very best time to plant new trees and shrubs?
41:45
Speaker 15: That's a question I'm asked probably 25 times a week.
41:48
Speaker 15: And when I say late September and October, why, it's
41:51
Speaker 15: as if I was speaking a different language entirely, something
41:53
Speaker 15: with a southern hemisphere accent. Surely he must be thinking
41:57
Speaker 15: of somewhere else where spring comes in our fall. For
42:00
Speaker 15: sure one of us is Daffy and I'm thinking it's Neil.
42:03
Speaker 15: But no, that's not the case. I'll be back with
42:05
Speaker 15: details of fall shrub plantings right after this message. My
42:10
Speaker 15: book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe it's
42:13
Speaker 15: the best work of my career. I self-published it. It's
42:16
Speaker 15: directly from me to your mailbox. There's no publishing house,
42:20
Speaker 15: no retail markups to run up your cost. As I
42:23
Speaker 15: close out the final printing, here's an offer I've never
42:26
Speaker 15: made before. While supplies last, I've reduced the price from $ 38. 95
42:31
Speaker 15: on the jacket to the lowest price ever, only $ 24.
42:34
Speaker 1: 95.
42:34
Speaker 18: It's a high-quality hardback book, 344 pages, 840 of my photographs.
42:42
Speaker 18: It covers every aspect of landscapes, lawns, flower, fruit, and
42:45
Speaker 18: vegetable gardening for every county in Texas. A 48-page perpetual calendar.
42:51
Speaker 18: It tells you when to plant, prune, feed, and protect
42:54
Speaker 18: all the plants that you're growing. That's just $ 24. 95, a
42:58
Speaker 18: signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y dot com.
43:08
Speaker 15: The bad part of the dialogue I quoted is that
43:10
Speaker 15: I seldom get to hear their follow-up reasoning. By then,
43:13
Speaker 15: they're off somewhere else asking the same question, hoping to
43:16
Speaker 15: get results more to their expectations.
43:18
Speaker 1: Fall is the.
43:19
Speaker 15: Best time for planting. My hope is always that those
43:22
Speaker 15: folks will stop in and ask a full-time, independent retail
43:26
Speaker 15: garden center owner, because that man or that woman will understand.
43:30
Speaker 15: Summer and drought are the two biggest threats to new
43:33
Speaker 15: plants in Texas landscaping. As you might expect, they go hand-in-hand.
43:37
Speaker 15: The better the root contact with more and more soil,
43:40
Speaker 15: the more likely the plant is to survive. If you
43:43
Speaker 15: set plants out in the fall, they'll have six or
43:45
Speaker 15: seven months to establish new roots before they're called on
43:48
Speaker 15: to stand up to the heat. Plant them in April
43:51
Speaker 15: or May, and summer will present a much bigger hill
43:53
Speaker 15: for them to climb. Fall also finds plants filled to
43:57
Speaker 15: the rims of their pots. They've been growing in nurseries
43:59
Speaker 15: since early spring. You'll get a plant that may be
44:02
Speaker 15: 20 or 30 percent larger and better developed now than
44:05
Speaker 15: you will if you wait until March or April. If
44:07
Speaker 15: those plants don't sell this fall, nurserymen will just repot
44:10
Speaker 15: them into the next larger containers and mark up the prices.
44:13
Speaker 15: So you might as well take advantage of the bargains.
44:16
Speaker 15: And speaking of pricing, don't be surprised to find some
44:19
Speaker 15: very nice markdowns. Nurserymen are like any other retailer. They
44:23
Speaker 15: have their money tied up in inventory, and there comes
44:25
Speaker 15: a time when it's better to put a product on
44:27
Speaker 15: sale and sell out of it than to keep your
44:29
Speaker 15: money tied up for too long. So watch for end-of-season
44:32
Speaker 15: markdowns the next six or eight weeks, and as you
44:35
Speaker 15: take advantage of them, Keep reminding yourself that you're first
44:38
Speaker 15: getting bigger plants, second for less money, and third at
44:42
Speaker 15: the perfect planting time. You can't lose. If you'd like
44:46
Speaker 15: a bit of help in planting your landscape, nurserymen have
44:48
Speaker 15: more time in the fall than they do in the spring.
44:51
Speaker 15: You've been on their lots on Saturdays in April, or
44:54
Speaker 15: perhaps it's more accurate to say that you've tried to
44:56
Speaker 15: get into those lots. Try the same lot today. You'll
44:59
Speaker 15: be able to park at the front door, and you'll
45:01
Speaker 15: find really good help. And the sales assistants will have
45:04
Speaker 15: more time to spend with you. Best of all, go
45:06
Speaker 15: in on a Thursday or Friday after the supplies have
45:09
Speaker 15: arrived and after the weekend website and newspaper ads have broken.
45:13
Speaker 15: Get there for the best values before the weekend warriors arrive.
45:17
Speaker 15: Are there drawbacks to planting in the fall? Well, the
45:19
Speaker 15: only one I can really think of would be for
45:22
Speaker 15: plants that you know are tender in your area. You
45:25
Speaker 15: might want to wait to plant those in the springtime.
45:27
Speaker 15: But otherwise, fall is the very best time for planting
45:31
Speaker 15: new shrubs. I'm Neal Sperry. Which plants to save for
45:35
Speaker 15: the wintertime will be the subject of our next Plant
45:37
Speaker 15: Talk Texas. Until then, happy gardening.
45:41
Speaker 9: It's no secret that our aging electrical grid is overwhelmed
45:44
Speaker 9: and faltering while we become more dependent on it. With
45:46
Speaker 9: severe weather, record outages, and more of us working from home,

46:43
Speaker 31: What do we really know about James Tallarico?
46:46
Speaker 22: Tallerico said, Defending trans Texas is something we have to
46:50
Speaker 22: do every day.
46:51
Speaker 31: Tallerico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
46:55
Speaker 31: young children, claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive,
47:00
Speaker 31: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
47:03
Speaker 31: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
47:08
Speaker 22: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
47:11
Speaker 1: But it gets worse.
47:13
Speaker 31: James Tallarico voted to allow biological men access to women's
47:17
Speaker 31: bathrooms in schools and for biological boys to play in
47:20
Speaker 31: girls' sports, saying some things are more important than fair
47:25
Speaker 31: competition in sports.
47:26
Speaker 22: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
47:30

48:10
Speaker 30: Jamie Morrison shared thoughts on the team's performance against the Owls.
48:14
Speaker 16: It's crazy that conference is here. I feel like it
48:15
Speaker 16: snuck up on us like we'd be playing the top
48:17
Speaker 16: ten of the country for the entire season. It felt good,
48:20
Speaker 16: and I was just really proud of a bunch of
48:22
Speaker 16: people stepped up. I think that's the thing I'm most
48:24
Speaker 16: proud of. I thought at the beginning of the match,
48:25
Speaker 16: we kind of had to figure out how that group
48:27
Speaker 16: would play with each other, but during one of the timeouts,
48:29
Speaker 16: I think we were down two, and I had a
48:31
Speaker 16: conversation about it. They immediately responded, and going back to
48:33
Speaker 16: it again, this team's learning, and you can say something,
48:35
Speaker 16: and they're going to go adjust within it, and immediately
48:37
Speaker 16: we were up by four. And then obviously the rest
48:39
Speaker 16: was history, the second set and third set. I thought
48:41
Speaker 16: we were playing really good volleyball, so proud.
48:43
Speaker 30: In last night's game, the Aggies also recorded a season-high
48:46
Speaker 30: 54 kills in a three-set match. Coach Morrison spoke about
48:50
Speaker 30: the efficiency of his team throughout the recent matches they've played.
48:54
Speaker 16: I really think of the game in four phases. And
48:56
Speaker 16: you have the serve-receive phase where you're passing the ball
48:58
Speaker 16: and you're back there and trying to run your offense
49:00
Speaker 16: and have a play call within that. And you have
49:02
Speaker 16: the serve-block-and-dee phase where you're trying to get them off
49:04
Speaker 16: the net and kind of run things. And then you
49:05
Speaker 16: have these two transition phases of transition offense and the
49:08
Speaker 16: transition-block-and-defense as well. And I think we kind of bounce
49:12
Speaker 16: around the way that we're training. And like I said,
49:13
Speaker 16: when the pieces click, we're starting to kind of get
49:15
Speaker 16: all phases firing right now.
49:17
Speaker 1: So, and they all feed each other.
49:18
Speaker 16: Like if you're, on a really good block and D
49:20
Speaker 16: team and you get this nice, easy touch and you
49:21
Speaker 16: can play defense behind it and put yourself in a
49:23
Speaker 16: really good situation. And I think this is the thing
49:25
Speaker 16: that I was pushing our team in the first set.
49:26
Speaker 16: We weren't necessarily doing that. And then we started to
49:28
Speaker 16: fire on cylinders where we're getting good touches. We were
49:30
Speaker 16: taking care of the ball. Kira's life was a lot
49:32
Speaker 16: easier running our offense. And I think we had 15
49:34
Speaker 16: transition kills in the second set. That's pretty impressive.
49:37
Speaker 30: Up next, the Maroon and White open their conference slate
49:40
Speaker 30: at home as they host South Carolina Sunday afternoon at
49:43
Speaker 30: Reed Arena with first serve set for 2.30. The A
49:47
Speaker 30: & M football team is three days away from playing
49:49
Speaker 30: their first road game of the year against LSU. Last week,
49:53
Speaker 30: the Aggies lost their first conference game of the year
49:56
Speaker 30: to Kentucky and didn't play to the standard that head
49:59
Speaker 30: coach Mike Elko wanted them to be at. Ahead of
50:02
Speaker 30: this week's game, there could be potential starting lineup changes,
50:05
Speaker 30: and Coach Yelko spoke about when the coaches decide on
50:08
Speaker 30: making those changes ahead of the upcoming games.
50:11
Speaker 6: I think it's probably a little bit of both. I
50:13
Speaker 6: think there's times where you make decisions early in the
50:15
Speaker 6: week and you're trying to move some guys around and
50:18
Speaker 6: get people comfortable in new settings, and then there's times
50:21
Speaker 6: where you're challenging a spot to say this spot needs
50:24
Speaker 6: to play better, and the two guys that are competing
50:27
Speaker 6: for it, we're going to give it to whoever practices better.
50:29
Speaker 6: And so I think sometimes it happens both ways. Obviously,
50:32
Speaker 6: I think that's something we're always looking at and always evaluating,
50:35
Speaker 6: and that's no different this week.
50:37
Speaker 30: Coach Elko also spoke about what it's like playing in
50:39
Speaker 30: the environment of Tiger Stadium.
50:41
Speaker 6: I think in some ways it does. In some ways
50:44
Speaker 6: there's a lot of new starters again making their first
50:46
Speaker 6: road trip and certainly a lot of easier venues I
50:49
Speaker 6: would choose to do that in. But no, I think
50:52
Speaker 6: you draw from a little bit of the confidence we've
50:53
Speaker 6: had over the two years and being able to win
50:55
Speaker 6: some games on the road in some of these hostile environments.
50:57
Speaker 6: But certainly Saturday night is going to be an extreme
51:00
Speaker 6: challenge for us, no doubt about it.
51:01
Speaker 30: Throughout Coach Elko's coaching career so far, he has only
51:04
Speaker 30: faced a Lane Kiffin offense once. so he briefly spoke
51:08
Speaker 30: about the experience of playing against a Kiffin offense.
51:12
Speaker 6: So I haven't had a ton of experience going against it,
51:14
Speaker 6: and I think it's changed dramatically from where it was
51:17
Speaker 6: back then, and so I don't have a ton of
51:19
Speaker 6: experience against Lane.
51:20
Speaker 30: Saturday night's kickoff is set for 6.30. In the MLB
51:25
Speaker 30: last night, the Houston Astros beat the Seattle Mariners 7-0,
51:29
Speaker 30: moving them into a tie with the Texas Rangers atop
51:32
Speaker 30: of the AL West. And the Rangers lost 6-3 to
51:35
Speaker 30: the New York Mets. Tonight in the NHL, the Dallas
51:39
Speaker 30: Stars host the Minnesota Wild for their third game of
51:42
Speaker 30: the NHL preseason with puck drop set for 7 o'clock.

53:08
Speaker 5: Go to unitedroofingpros.com. Just still thinking about the robo-toilets, which
53:15
Speaker 5: doors pop open in Mamdani's, New York. In 10 minutes.
53:20
Speaker 5: You get 10 minutes of that free toilet. Attention, your
53:22
Speaker 5: use time has expired.
53:23
Speaker 1: The door is opening now. I think I've heard that
53:26
Speaker 1: same woman in train stations and airports.
53:29
Speaker 5: She gets a lot of voice work. Can you imagine
53:31
Speaker 5: getting that order? What's this for? Oh, the doors of
53:35
Speaker 5: the toilet are going to pop open.
53:37
Speaker 1: That wasn't a real person. Jason says, The.
53:41
Speaker 5: Toilet needs an alarm like grocery store freezers have when
53:44
Speaker 5: the door stays open too long. So, again, you know, sirens.
53:48
Speaker 1: Good call.
53:49
Speaker 5: David says regarding the toilets, even the NFL gets a
53:52
Speaker 5: two-minute warning.
53:53
Speaker 1: Right. They should give you more than, I mean, come on.
53:57
Speaker 1: It's hard to, I mean, the finish on the process
54:00
Speaker 1: there is not quick.
54:01
Speaker 5: I also want to be honest. There's no one that
54:02
Speaker 5: wants to be in that toilet, guys. There's not a
54:05
Speaker 5: single human that wants to be there, or at least
54:08
Speaker 5: not someone that, that is going to be startled by
54:12
Speaker 5: trying to get out in time.
54:14
Speaker 1: I imagine that finding some place to go in New
54:17
Speaker 1: York City is probably one of the biggest challenges a
54:20
Speaker 1: person could face.
54:21
Speaker 5: Shout out to Virta. We didn't get to her text earlier.
54:23
Speaker 5: She says her alarm goes off at 3 a.m. and
54:25
Speaker 5: starts work at 4.30, delivering radiation medication to hospitals and
54:29
Speaker 5: doctors' offices.
54:30
Speaker 1: That's an early day. You go, Virta.
