• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Planning Association, says he's eager to hear the details.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: I think as a region, we need to be open
• 3:05

• 3:08
  Speaker 6: years to put in place and really get going.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: A tunnel has been talked about for more than one decade.
• 3:13

• 6:32
  Speaker 6: the way. If you haven't seen these, go to our

  Speaker 6: Facebook page for WTAW. Scroll down a bit.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Or don't. Why are you talking? It's a little embarrassing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 11: Why is it embarrassing?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the deal. People were texting, messaging me yesterday
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: after seeing those pictures, and they were saying things along, man,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you were so good looking. Keyword, were.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, don't stop it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You were such a stud.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Stop it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: These are compliments, Will. Yeah, it's kind of like the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: guy the other day that when I told him my age,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he said, man, you get along pretty good for 56.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, what kind of backhanded?
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: It's a compliment. We have to accept that our finest
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: days physically are not in the future.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Certainly have accepted that. I just don't want to hear it,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you know? Don't grind into the wound. Don't twist the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: knife more.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: Well, I can understand that. But I'll say this.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: But I was a good-looking kid. I'll say it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Go check these out, man.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: 17-year-old Will. The 80s were very good to Will. Yep,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they were.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: I want you to open up that book, because the
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: real magic isn't really... I mean, the pictures are great,
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: and honestly, if you were in Kinsale... Circa 1985 through 90.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: This is fantastic. There are a lot of people in there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: There are a lot of heavy hitters in there in
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: this community that I could not believe.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, former Secretary of the Army is in there, several others.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: The king of all fantasy sports.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Matthew Barry is in there.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: With a full head of hair, by the way.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Charles Potasik of C4 Productions, all that sort of stuff.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: That's right, he's in there too.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: But the real amazing thing is when you flip towards
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: the back, you get the ads. And the ads are just, like,
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: I felt like this hit me in the face. Go
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: ahead and give me some.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Of the guys. The first page that I opened up to,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it says, Congratulations, seniors, and our sincere best wishes in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: your future endeavors. Godfather's Pizza.
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Culpeper Plaza.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Godfather's Pizza in Culpeper Plaza.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You remember that? Yeah, I remember that. And I was
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: reminded of it because this summer when we went to Branson, Missouri,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: we ate at a Godfather's Pizza. And unlike any other
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of the chains that have lost, have been gone, have
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: come back or have nearly been out of existence. This
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: one holds up.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Godfather is still the real deal if you can
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: find one.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: How about the Grapevine Bistro and Restaurant?
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: That takes me back for a few reasons. Number one,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: because it was an incredible restaurant.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It was the first time I fell in love with quiche.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: It was so good. Also, they heard it through the
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Grapevine song in their commercials, which would not be legally
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: allowed in 2026 because of copyright.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: But no one could.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Figure out you were doing it back in the 80s
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: and 90s. And it went away. R.I.P. to Godfathers and
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: the Grapevine.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Schlotzky's, which of course is still here, but
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: this one was... In Park Place Plaza next to Winn-Dixie.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, what was that?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: What is that now? Southwest Parkway and Texas Avenue.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: It's the Ace Hardware, and I think there's a fitness
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: facility over there. Believe it or not, somewhere around 1980.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: worked at that Winn-Dixie. Really? And former infomaniac, the late
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Chase Murphy, worked there with me as well. That's right.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I remember he was a Winn-Dixie bag boy as well. Look,
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: as long as we're going to take a trip down
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: memory lane, what is your favorite... Business from the past
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: that is no longer here.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Favorite local business from the past that is no longer here?
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: From the past.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: In a different timeline, maybe things would have worked out
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: differently and we would have been better for it. 979-695-1620
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: if you want to participate. And I will randomly pick
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: one of you guys and send you to the Texas
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: Renaissance Festival.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you I'm not going to say it, but
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to show it to you. I guarantee you
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that one right there Oh, wow. Is going to be
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: on top of the list. Oh, wow. Yeah. And don't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: go looking in the back of your 1987 Tigerland yearbook
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to try to figure out which one I'm talking about.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: I haven't heard that name in... Man, I cannot tell
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: you how long it's been since I've heard someone utter
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: that name.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: And you're right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: That one's one we missed.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: That is dreadfully missed here in the Brazos Valley. So, yeah, 979-695-1620.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Text them and call them in if you want to.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. We'd love to hear from you.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: Back after this.

  Speaker 1: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 11:24
  Speaker 13: I heard an ad the other day encouraging me to
• 11:26
  Speaker 13: attend a sales seminar so I could double or triple
• 11:28
  Speaker 13: my sales with no change in pricing or product. Tell
• 11:31
  Speaker 13: the customer what they need. Don't take no for an answer.
• 11:33
  Speaker 13: Never leave without a close. I don't want to be
• 11:35
  Speaker 13: that guy. I really don't like that guy. At Intercon,
• 11:38
  Speaker 13: we encourage you to ask questions and make your decision
• 11:40
  Speaker 13: on your own schedule. Why would I force you to
• 11:42
  Speaker 13: sign immediately if I was confident that I'm offering the
• 11:45
  Speaker 13: best value proposition? No sales, just good value every day
• 11:48

  Speaker 1: the other team. What's going on, son? I don't know, coach.

• 13:32
  Speaker 6: 1620-945-WTAW. Thank you to 1987 College Station for giving us
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: a reason to talk about some of the businesses that
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: are no longer here.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: That, honestly, we'd probably be better off if they had
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: made it. I'm still, I'd completely forgotten about that one
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: that you just pointed.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Out to me. And you know what's funny is I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: have not seen it on the list yet because we
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: have dozens of texts about that one. All right, so.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Let's get started working our way through some of these.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Eric Bryant says Bullwinkles.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: Bullwinkles.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And I will throw in what it was before Bullwinkles,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and I recall that as Rosewood Junction.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Wow, see, that's going to beat me. I just remember Bullwinkles,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: and it was about a million things after Bullwinkles.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Wow, Kelly. Two big ones right off the jump. Swinson's.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: The earthquake.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. If you wanted to dunk a ring and
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: you didn't want to dunk it in booze, you take
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: that bad boy to Swinson's. Right next door to another
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: one that should still be with us, and that's Bennigan's.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, and people have mentioned Bennigan's as well.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: But Kelly also throws in Hastings.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Hastings.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: And I'm going to say specifically the Hastings that was
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: on Texas Avenue in Holloman, which is now where the
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: furniture store, whatever that is, with listening stations, you could
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: walk in.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I recall the old one.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I remember that too. But it was, yeah, man,
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: video games, movie rentals, books, music. Everything you needed as
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: a kid was at Hastings. Your whole weekend started when
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: you made a run. To Hastings. It's going to be
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: a little bit about Blockbuster. It wasn't the same, fam.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the same.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Blockbuster's where he went when Hastings didn't.
• 15:16
  Speaker 18: Continue.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I'm getting down around here. So, Ken Martin's Steakhouse has
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: been mentioned. I will throw in the Fort Shiloh Grill.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Yellow gravy.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: In addition to that. Yeah, yellow gravy.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: My parents' first date ever was at Fort Shiloh Grill.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Gordon says Gibson's. Gibson's was in Redmond Terrace, which was
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: at the corner of Jersey, now George Bush.
• 15:35
  Speaker 12: Ha!
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And Texas Avenue. And funny story about Gibson's, my barber,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the Redmond Terrace barber, it's now just the barbershop. Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: My dad in 1976 took me there for a haircut
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that I had an appointment. I told him I didn't
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: feel well, and he said, you're going anyway. So I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: belched as soon as I got in the chair. My
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: father said, you say excuse me. I turned to Red
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the barber to say excuse me and covered him in vomit.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And when I came back to town... Just after the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: turn of the century, I went to the barbershop at
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: its location now. Red was still working there. Really? And
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I said, Red, you may not remember me, but in 1976,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I threw up on you.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: He said, sure as heck do, Will.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: He said, you still owe me a bleeping, bleeping shirt
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: from Gibson's, is what he told me.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Still think about it every day. Waiting to get that receipt.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Waiting for that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: Susan, Deluxe Burger Bar. Oh, yeah. Okay, so for those
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: of y'all, they're way too young for this. Chimmy's.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Chimmy's.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Chimmy's didn't used to be Chimmy's. It used to be
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: an old-school 50s diner. Had the best cheese fries you'll
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: ever have.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: In your life. Had the best everything. The burgers were great.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: The milkshakes were great. Oh, that was so good.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: And still... The Texan.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: We have brought this one up.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we were in commercials.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: That one we talked about.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Before there was Christopher's, before there was the Republic, before
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: there were any of those really, really, really nice places
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: to eat, there was the Texan. And it was on
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: the corner of Villa Maria and South College. The last
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: place you would think you would put a fine dining restaurant,
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: but it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Was so good. And along with that, Youngbloods back in
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the day. Youngbloods.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, so based on this conversation, I saw this. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: didn't bring it up, and I forgot to bring it
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: up when I saw this crawl across my screen. James
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Tech's in Aladdin's Castle, which was the arcade inside Manor
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: East Mall.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that? I remember the arcade in Manor
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: East Mall barely, but I was a post-Oak guy. Remember,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I was a college station guy.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: So I grew up in North Oakwood in Bryan. So
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: whenever you said the mall, when I was very small,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: we would. we would go to Manor East Mall. Manor
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: East Mall was never in its prime when I was there.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: But it's just something that I spent a lot of
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: time in that mall. I went and watched a lot
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: of movies where the theater company is now because that's
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: why it looks like a theater. It used to be
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: a movie theater.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Did you get an Orange Julius while you were there?
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: I got many Orange Juliuses. But it had been a while.
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: I'm thumbing through, I think it was Instagram, and there's
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: an account that posts historic photos of stuff at Bryan
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: College Station every once in a while.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: And they had posted like five or six pics from
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Manor East Mall. And like, you know, like it was
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: like a time warp, like my brain got zapped. Like
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: I was like, I I know exactly where these pictures
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: were taken. I can tell where the photographer like I could.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: It was like I was there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It was a soundtrack playing in your head that featured Tiffany.
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: It was, coming out of the speakers at Kiss FM,
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: CW Mix 104.7, because they used to be in Manor
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: East Mall, too.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: The studio had a window out of the mall.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a window on the second floor, one of the
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: greatest radio station setups I've ever seen in my life.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: There's another one, 3C Barbecue, which I believe at some
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: point was Randy Sims' barbecue.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: May have been.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: I remember Randy Sims had a barbecue place.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Randy did. And the one that I, there it is,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: finally now it has come in, Tom's Barbecue and 3C.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Tom's Barbecue.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Why is Tom's Barbecue special, Will, for those who may
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: not have ever experienced it?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Because for a very cheap price, you could go in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: there and get a load of meat, cheese, and bread.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: What was it called, Will? Pickles and onions, the Aggie special.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: That's right. And they would throw it on some butcher paper.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: And served with a knife.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: That was it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: The Aggie special. There have been imitators in years since,
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: but Tom's Barbecue is the one that did it first.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: I don't think anyone's going to argue Tom's Barbecue.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: The cow hop has been mentioned. I used to go
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: just destroy a cow pie and fries.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Good Lord, yes. Pooh's Park, which was a half park, half,
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: I guess you could say, like, entertainment district.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it had the roller rink and with some video
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: arcade games. You know what I call it?
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Theme parks? It wasn't a theme park.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a theme, no. It was... close. And I
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: remember when they added, like, the water slides and stuff there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: And it grew. And the go-karts. I used to tear
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: up the go-kart track.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Area leader Ben Downs. While you're at Manner East, don't
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: forget Musicland.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Musicland.
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: Oh, Lord.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Good call, Ben.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, Eric. Eric with the Green Stamp Store.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Eric has a couple of them.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Eric said the Green Stamp Store. And possibly a different Eric.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: I might be wrong about this.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Same Eric.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: He says, radio greats that are no longer here. Can
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: we talk about those? Because KTSR 92.1 deserves to be acknowledged.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: My first radio job, I was on KTSR. Were you?
• 20:26
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Man, that was my radio station growing up.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: It was a great one. It was a great one.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Bobby slammed Duncan in the mornings.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Well, see, every time I was doing it, Roger was
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: doing morning, the breakfast flakes. It was Roger and Jay,
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: and then you had Eli Fox in the afternoons. And
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: I was like, I listen to that every day. Every day.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Luby's in Texas Hall of Fame.
• 20:50
  Speaker 12: Ha!
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Nailed it.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: That to me is a complete list. Well, look, feel
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: free to keep texting them in. We still got to
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: pick a winner. I do have a pair of tickets
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: to the Texas Renaissance Festival. And again, if you're just
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: joining us, we are looking for the business that is

  Speaker 6: too soon.
• 21:12

• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Fish Richards Half Century House.

  Speaker 1: That's HomeTitleLock.com.
• 23:35
  Speaker 21: Promo code Bill. On this Thursday, I am thinking about
• 23:39
  Speaker 21: Donald Trump's address to the United Nations. Despite the setting,
• 23:44
  Speaker 21: the president's speech was directed more at the American people
• 23:48
  Speaker 21: than Finland or Sri Lanka. He laid out his accomplishments,
• 23:53
  Speaker 21: most of which the corporate press refuses to even cover
• 23:58
  Speaker 21: in the USA. Now, if you're an honest person, you
• 24:01
  Speaker 21: must admit that President Trump has done some good things.
• 24:06
  Speaker 21: But he'll never get credit from the media, which is
• 24:08
  Speaker 21: allied now with the Democratic Party. That means the media
• 24:14
  Speaker 21: wants the Dems to win in November. Now, these outlets
• 24:20
  Speaker 21: want to elect as many progressives as possible. It's not
• 24:24
  Speaker 21: just about President Trump. So why would they say anything
• 24:29
  Speaker 21: good about Republicans or the president?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't.
• 24:34
  Speaker 21: That's the genesis of Trump's ban on CNN, MS, the AP,
• 24:39
  Speaker 21: and Politico. He knows these agencies are suppressing his accomplishments,
• 24:44
  Speaker 21: and it's absolutely true. If you watch the television coverage
• 24:48
  Speaker 21: of his U.N. address, you saw the left-wing outfits snipe
• 24:52
  Speaker 21: at him for whatever he said, and CNN didn't even cover.
• 24:58
  Speaker 21: But it doesn't really matter anymore. Most Americans know the
• 25:02
  Speaker 21: fix is in. So keep it here for the truth.
• 25:08
  Speaker 19: Back in a moment.
• 25:09
  Speaker 21: When you need medications, you don't have any time to
• 25:12
  Speaker 21: fool around.
• 25:13
  Speaker 19: You know that.

  Speaker 6: some fish.

• 39:39
  Speaker 6: Home of the Huge Baked Potatoes. What was the name
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: of that restaurant that was in Post Oak Malls where
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: Chuck E. Cheese is now? Do you remember this? It
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: was like a pub.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: No, it was across from where Chuck E. Cheese was.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Was it Baker Street or Beaker Street?
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying, Baker Street. So Baker Street.
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Baker Street and the Casa Ole in the mall.
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Casa Ole's still there.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: No, it's not?
• 40:03
  Speaker 28: Yeah.
• 40:04
  Speaker 9: How?
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I don't have any idea.

  Speaker 6: You're telling me I can still go to the Casa
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: Ole in Posto Hall?
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain. My wife likes the Queso Fundido from there.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: That's insane. Yeah, so you had two options because, believe
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: it or not, children. When you wanted, as a teenager,
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: to be able to impress a lady, you would go
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: to the mall together.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: You'd kind of wander around. And no mall trip was
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: complete unless you had dinner because there were restaurants in
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: the mall.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Not just food court restaurants. We're talking sit-down.
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Those two. Those two.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Many, many A nights spent at those locations. A lot
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: of people still piling in with grapevine. for sure. What
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: would it take? I mean, grapevine, I hate to just
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: single them out. What would it take?
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I drove past that location within the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: past week or so, and my daughter was with me,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and I was telling her, I was like, you don't understand.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: That was one of the best restaurants at College Station
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Los Nortinos.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Man, you might see a roach on the wall, but
• 41:13

• 41:14
  Speaker 6: I don't want to hear about that. You walk in there,
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: and yeah, but you know what? That's what you need.
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: That's what you expect for greatness. That restaurant was almost
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: 100 years old.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not knocking it for the roach being on
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: the wall.
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: You think that you know breakfast tacos?
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: You think that, like, you get those, they're about, you know,
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: that you could put two or three in a bag.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: What about a breakfast taco that you could only eat one?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Understand, you could only, it was the size of a plate.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Who just said that? Tucker Frito, I eat like a
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: horse young, just said that he could only take one.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: One and done. One taco max.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: One taco max at the Los Norteños.

  Speaker 29: like to share a remarkable story with you involving the

  Speaker 29: Peters family.
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: Mary Jo was born on March 16th, 1967 at 3.16 p.m.
• 42:47
  Speaker 29: 27 years later, her daughter Caitlin was born on March
• 42:50
  Speaker 29: 16th at 3.16 p.m. 32 years after that, Caitlin had
• 42:52
  Speaker 29: a son who was born on, you guessed it, March
• 42:54
  Speaker 29: 16th at 3.16 p.m. The odds of three generations within
• 43:07
  Speaker 29: a family being born on the exact same day at
• 43:10
  Speaker 29: the exact same time is 1 in 276 billion. To
• 43:12
  Speaker 29: put that number into perspective, you're 225,000 times more.
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: Likely to be struck by lightning.
• 43:23
  Speaker 29: Odds of this magnitude are considered statistically impossible, meaning there's
• 43:28
  Speaker 29: not enough time in human history for them to act. Hi,

  Speaker 29: March 16th at 3.16 p.m. The odds of three generations
• 44:03
  Speaker 29: within a family being born on the exact same day

  Speaker 29: at the exact same time.

  Speaker 1: Is 1 in 276 billion.
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: To put that number into perspective, you're 225,000 times more
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: likely to be struck by lightning Odds of this magnitude
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: are considered statistically impossible, meaning there's not enough time in
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: human history for them to actually occur.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: And yet, they did.
• 44:30
  Speaker 29: Now consider this. The odds of your exact genetics existing
• 44:34
  Speaker 29: are 1 in 10, followed by 2,685,000 zeros, meaning it's
• 44:38
  Speaker 29: impossible for you to exist. And yet, you do. The
• 44:46
  Speaker 29: undeniable conclusion, no matter who you are, you are not
• 44:50
  Speaker 29: a product of chance. You have value that cannot be

• 47:04
  Speaker 33: The A & M soccer team returns to Ellis Field
• 47:06
  Speaker 33: tonight to take on the 7th-ranked Alabama for its annual
• 47:10
  Speaker 33: Turnit Gold match. The Aggies sit 14th in SEC standings
• 47:14
  Speaker 33: with zero points after the second week of conference play
• 47:18
  Speaker 33: and look to earn their first points of the season
• 47:20
  Speaker 33: against a ranked Alabama team. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth spoke
• 47:24
  Speaker 33: about how his team is responding in practice and growing
• 47:28
  Speaker 33: after their first two losses in SEC play.
• 47:31
  Speaker 18: Obviously, it's not easy, the last two results. The Kentucky
• 47:34
  Speaker 18: game is a frustrating game. It's a disappointing way to
• 47:37
  Speaker 18: lose that game, and then you step into Vanderbilt, and
• 47:40
  Speaker 18: obviously we get punished for those mistakes like I'm talking about.
• 47:43
  Speaker 18: On the road for the first two games in the
• 47:45
  Speaker 18: SEC schedule with a young team, you could see from
• 47:50
  Speaker 18: our game in Kentucky that there were some nerves going
• 47:52
  Speaker 18: into that game, so Like I've said, I think our
• 47:55
  Speaker 18: team continues to grow, and we have, I think, in
• 47:59
  Speaker 18: that SEC game, I think our first game, I think
• 48:01
  Speaker 18: we started seven freshmen. So they've never experienced SEC soccer before,
• 48:06
  Speaker 18: and now they have, and they'll be better for those experiences.
• 48:08
  Speaker 18: And we've just got to continue to grow and stay
• 48:11
  Speaker 18: united within our group and keep doing the things that
• 48:13
  Speaker 18: we know will put us in positions to be successful.
• 48:15
  Speaker 33: First kick for tonight's match against Alabama is set for
• 48:18
  Speaker 33: 7 o'clock. The Aggie football team is two days away
• 48:21
  Speaker 33: from hitting the road for the first time this season
• 48:24
  Speaker 33: and taking on the LSU Tigers. Head coach Mike Elko
• 48:28
  Speaker 33: met with the media to discuss the process of balancing
• 48:31
  Speaker 33: being analytical over the loss and also preparing for this
• 48:34
  Speaker 33: Saturday's game. It's not the.
• 48:35
  Speaker 17: First time we've lost a game. It certainly won't be
• 48:38
  Speaker 17: the last. Again, that's not dismissing it in any way, shape,
• 48:41
  Speaker 17: or form, but I think we are very analytical of
• 48:43
  Speaker 17: everything that happens every week, and so whether that's in
• 48:46
  Speaker 17: a win over Arizona State or a loss to Kentucky.
• 48:49
  Speaker 17: I think you come in and you really analyze what happened,
• 48:52
  Speaker 17: where the breakdowns were, what caused the breakdowns, how to
• 48:55
  Speaker 17: try to improve it going into the next week. I
• 48:58
  Speaker 17: think that's what you do as a coach. And so
• 49:00
  Speaker 17: that's always the process. And then I think you come
• 49:02
  Speaker 17: out of that and you've got to develop a mindset
• 49:04
  Speaker 17: going forward into next week. And so I don't know
• 49:07
  Speaker 17: that those two things conflict with each other. I think
• 49:09
  Speaker 17: it's a process that you go through as a coach
• 49:11
  Speaker 17: every week.
• 49:12
  Speaker 33: Coach Elko also spoke about Mario Craver getting more action
• 49:16
  Speaker 33: during the Kentucky game. I think so.
• 49:18
  Speaker 17: I think obviously we felt like... the week before we
• 49:20
  Speaker 17: weren't able to get it to him as much as
• 49:22
  Speaker 17: we would have liked. I think some of the way
• 49:24
  Speaker 17: they were playing coverage created a few more opportunities for
• 49:28
  Speaker 17: him too. I think they were a little bit, there's
• 49:30
  Speaker 17: a lot of under over coverage on Isaiah, which made
• 49:33
  Speaker 17: it a little bit more challenging to get it to
• 49:34
  Speaker 17: him and I think created some more opportunities to get
• 49:37
  Speaker 17: it to Mario, and then obviously with Terry down, that
• 49:39
  Speaker 17: probably loaded the targets a little bit more that way too.
• 49:42
  Speaker 33: Wide receiver Mario Craver also commented on him stepping up
• 49:46
  Speaker 33: more into his role to make up for Terry Busse
• 49:48
  Speaker 33: and Ashton Bethel-Roman going down recently.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, most definitely.
• 49:52
  Speaker 32: Everyone knows Terry and ABR, they're a big piece to
• 49:55
  Speaker 32: the offense, a big piece to the team. So with
• 49:57
  Speaker 32: them going down, obviously someone's had to pick up the load,
• 50:01
  Speaker 32: pick up whatever they were doing. So honestly, just... Being
• 50:05
  Speaker 32: able to just do what I do, honestly, keep playing.
• 50:08
  Speaker 33: Kickoff for the A & M versus LSU game is
• 50:11
  Speaker 33: set for Saturday night at 6.30. The Aggie Equestrian team
• 50:16
  Speaker 33: opens its regular season today with a doubleheader against Delaware
• 50:19
  Speaker 33: State and Minnesota Crookston this morning at 8 a.m. at
• 50:23
  Speaker 33: the Redstone Ranch. The meet will run as a simultaneous
• 50:27
  Speaker 33: doubleheader with two separate final scores against both opponents. Tonight
• 50:31
  Speaker 33: in Thursday Night Football, the Green Bay Packers will be
• 50:34
  Speaker 33: hosting the Atlanta Falcons with kickoff set for 7-15 and
• 50:38
  Speaker 33: you can watch the game on Prime Video. In the
• 50:41
  Speaker 33: MLB last night, the Texas Rangers fell 7-2 to the
• 50:45
  Speaker 33: New York Mets. While the Houston Astros also lost their
• 50:48
  Speaker 33: game against the Seattle Mariners last night falling 6-5. In
• 50:53
  Speaker 33: the NHL last night, the Dallas Stars beat the Minnesota
• 50:55
  Speaker 33: Wild 2-0. That's your morning sports update brought to you

  Speaker 1: minutes ago were responding to a major crash. Highway 105
