  Speaker 1: be making road repairs near Traditions. The city will begin

  Speaker 1: paving operations in the area beginning this morning, and it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: will last for approximately two weeks. They say access to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: streets and homes will not be affected. The 2026 Asphalt

• 1:07
  Speaker 1: residential streets like Bluegrass and Crenshaw. The City of College
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Station is doing a warrant amnesty right now. If you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: have an outstanding warrant with the city, you can go
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to the courthouse and take care of the ticket without
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: an arrest. They'll even waive the $ 75 warrant fee. Here's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Judge Edward Spillane.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Warrant amnesty, we... If you think you have a warrant
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: or you know you have a warrant, starting October 12th
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and going until Friday, October 30th, if you come to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: court and take care of it, you can't just wave
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and run out, but if you come in and work
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: with us, we'll waive the warrant fee, which has gone up.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's $ 75 per case, but most importantly, you'll avoid being arrested.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: The J.P.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Courts.

  Speaker 5: I opened the door and it was like, you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: you could see the fog rolling in. It's really.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I judge the humidity by the amount of moisture on
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the door here to get into our building. Yes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Can you see through it? If not, yeah, we got
• 3:05

• 3:12
  Speaker 5: to 70s. And I know a lot of people are asking,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: holy cow, boys, is it going to cool off anytime soon? Yes,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: by Friday. we'll be dealing with highs in the mid
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: eighties by Friday. You just got to make it.

• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to be?

  Speaker 7: Oh, yes, I would.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: This weekend?
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Oxford, Mississippi.

  Speaker 1: high will be 88. On Saturday, the high is 69.
• 3:52

  Speaker 1: With a low of 47.

• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got to bring a sweater.

  Speaker 5: feel the difference. Will said, you got here at 3 today,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: is that right?
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: You got here at 3. You were telling me you
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: were thinking about coming in, or before you came in.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: going to the rent house, the Airbnb, and doing laundry.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got so much going on because I had
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: back-to-back rentals this weekend. Okay. So I can't wash the laundry.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I essentially have to remove the sheets and towels.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: The towels get washed, right? But I have to remove
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: all the sheets and wash them at a future date.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Because I have a guest coming in, don't want the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: washer and dryer running, trying to get them in as
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: early as possible.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Totally.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So I've got spares for everything. Well, yeah. So that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: means there's 13. Well, it sleeps 13. I did my
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: math wrong this morning. So I've got 1, 2, 3,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that's 5, 6, 7, 8 beds worth of sheets. So
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that's 16 sets of sheets to wash. And then the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: last group apparently used every towel in the house, which
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: is fine. But I'd replaced a bunch of towels after
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: some had been lost and damaged.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: After the incident.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And so I got some really nice towels that I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: found on sale. They're nice and big and fluffy, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it takes them at least two cycles to dry.
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And the lint filter. I'm going to take a picture
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of the lint.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Am I doing this? So you're washing 13 sets of sheets?
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 5:36
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: You had 13 sets of bedding, and then all of
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: the– like, how many dry runs are you going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: have to do for this?
• 5:47
  Speaker 12: A lot.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, like yesterday, I had to put the towels–
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I had to separate– first of all, the towels unbalanced
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the washing machine on Sunday.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So I had to separate that load because the guests
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: start the load for the towels when they leave. It's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: part of the checkout procedure. So when they left on Sunday,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I had to– I went down there, and the machine
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: was unbalanced, so I had to remove half the big towels,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the big fluffy new towels. And then finish the cycle
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and then start the second load of that. But then
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: each load that went into the dryer took two cycles
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: through the dryer.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Do you know what would be really helpful right now
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: for you?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: A clothesline.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Well, I would say Harvey Washbangers.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Harvey Washbangers.
• 6:27
  Speaker 13: R-I-P.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Man, do I miss that place.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: That used to be my go-to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Every time.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: If it was blankets or bedding. Or whatever. I wasn't
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: using my machine. I was throwing it in the car.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: I was going to Washbangers because I'm going to use
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: an industrial dryer.
• 6:46
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: And I'm going to have dinner. By the time I
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: get done with dinner, my stuff will be ready.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I miss that place.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: How has no one filled that void?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You know, if we don't get ourselves... A Waffle House
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: sometime soon. I have a concept because you know me
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and concepts. I mean, I'm the guy that came up
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: with Santa's Water Park.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Santa's Water Park. It's still nails.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Still out there.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm the idea guy. I had the idea of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: doing a wash and waffle.
• 7:15
  Speaker 14: Oh, man.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Right? So a Waffle House-style restaurant with a washateria connected.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Stella's the same guy. How is he not just taking
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: some space next door, blown out a wall? and put
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: in some washers and drives.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: From what I understand, the infrastructure to install everything that
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you need to do.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: That's the nightmare.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It's kind of big time.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, geez.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Well, then, you know, washing waffles might be our best play.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know how much it costs to start one
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: of those up, but I certainly know that it probably
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: makes a little bit of money.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Brother, I think we could go cha-ching on that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, we will be examining this... More in-depth. When do
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: you think you're finally going to conclude this washing journey?
• 8:04
  Speaker 14: I should.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I should have all of the sheets finished by maybe
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: late today, probably tomorrow. I've still got the four bunks
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and what I call the granny room still to do.
• 8:19

  Speaker 16: And online predators are creating new threats for our children
• 11:06
  Speaker 16: every day. As a father, Paul Dyson knows how dangerous

  Speaker 16: stopping big tech and predators from targeting Texas children. And
• 11:17
  Speaker 16: he passed legislation blocking AI from being used as a

• 11:39
  Speaker 5: It is the 13th, lucky 13th of October, 2026. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: we do have reasons to celebrate today, one day of distinction,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: before I get into anything else. Not quite a birthday,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: not quite a national day, but definitely something. Birthday of
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: the United States Navy, established by the Continental Conference.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I can sing Anchors Away.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Hit it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: No, you don't want me to do that. 1775, the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Navy is 251 years young today.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Also, M & M Day, the M & M which
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: came out in 1941. were initially popular with military personnel because, again,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: it doesn't get your hands goopy because of the thin
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: candy shell.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And it lasts.
• 12:35
  Speaker 17: And it lasts, yeah.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Just a great snack. It disappeared in 1976 because people
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: started worrying about red food dye because time is a
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: flat circle. Actually, it was only the reds they took away.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: They figured out a new way to get it back
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: in 1987. Peanut M & M' s... 1954, that was when
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: they debuted, and now we have plain peanut, peanut butter crispy,
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: and pretzel.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, all the tertiary flavors of M & M' s
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: are just that. They're tertiary. I was a straight, plain
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: M & M guy forever.
• 13:09
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: In my later years, I have developed, if I'm going
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to eat an M & M, an occasional peanut's not
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a bad thing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I think that's maturity.
• 13:17
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Peanut M & M' s are all right, and I have
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: no problem with them. But that said... If I have
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: to take one, I don't see a reason to stray
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: from the OG. It's just... And I should like the
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: peanut butter ones. Like, I really should.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: No, because the slurry in there is not good.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: It's just not the.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: No. Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And the pretzel. Look, just give me the plain and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the peanut. We don't need anything else.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: International Day for Failure.
• 13:43
  Speaker 14: Hmm.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure I'll find a way to celebrate that today.
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: Celebrate that every day. But it encourages people to view
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: failure as a necessary component of innovation, growth, and achievement,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: which is true. Failures are essential. If you're not failing,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: you're not trying hard enough.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That's right. You're not taking the risk.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: You're just not doing enough. Like if you're just clocking
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: wins and never taking a loss, that means you're comfortable.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: You need to raise your level of competition. You need
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: to get somewhere where you're uncomfortable. You're not going to grow.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: You're not going to grow. You could be doing so
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: much better. You just don't know about it because you're
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: afraid to fail. The original initiative was associated with university
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: students and entrepreneurship culture. So mainly a bunch of people
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: who really know how to fail. Expensive failure. Yes. James Dyson,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: as far as big failures, you know the name from vacuums.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: He developed thousands of prototypes before coming up with the
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: original Dyson vacuum. That sounds expensive.
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: WD-40.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: The name is because it was the 40th formula.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: They went through 39 losers.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Water displacement formula 40.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Post-it notes emerged from 3M' s development of an adhesive that
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: was initially considered too weak for its intended purpose. They
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: were just banging their head, and someone figured out, oh,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: what if we put it on some paper?
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Boom.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Idea.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: So, don't be discouraged. Failure is a good thing. Ada
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Lovelace Day. You know who that is?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: The name's familiar, but no, it's not coming to me.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: English mathematician.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: That's why.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Also the daughter of Lord Byron, of all things.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: She's the first human to write an algorithm. That's right.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: I guess, yep, you're thinking about it correctly. She wrote
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: the first algorithm. describing a calculation method for the Bernoulli
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: numbers using Charles Babbage's proposed analytical engine. So it was
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: all theoretical.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised she wasn't burned at the stake.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Well, she died at just 36, which means she very
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: well may have been.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: So thanks, Ada, for the algorithm. We are doing so
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: well with that 7500-whatever-it-is.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I bet she had big dreams for the algorithm, thinking
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: how it was going to change. Humanity for the positive.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Oh, it certainly did. Certainly did, Ada. Really did.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Not in the sense that you mean. Look, I'm sure
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the algorithm has its useful places.
• 16:08
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, clearly it does. It's just not in my feed.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Good Samaritan Day. Celebration of helping people without expecting anything
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: in return. Obviously, it comes from the parable of the
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Good Samaritan and Luke.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did that on Saturday morning.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, you did.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I had to go get some ice because
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: my ice maker at the B & B was on
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the fritz. I pull up to the gas station, and
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: there's a truck there with a hood up. I go
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: in the gas station, pay for my ice, ask the attendant.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: She didn't know anything about it. So there's three young people, probably,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I guess the older one was in his late 20s, maybe,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: sitting outside.
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: So I said, hey, is that your truck?
• 16:44
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with it? It won't start.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Ah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: What's it doing? Okay. Well, what was the last time
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: your battery was changed? It's never been changed. How old
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: is the truck?
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: 2019.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Wow, sir. That is a miraculous battery.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Can you tell me what battery they put in that?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: No, I could not because it had some funky cover
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: over the battery and I was hoping I didn't have
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to pull it myself, but no, the jump pack to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the rescue.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And encouraged him. I said, look, buy you one of these.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Just don't turn this off. Take it straight down to
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the AutoZone. They'll take care of you.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. This is another one
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: of those be prepared days. United Nations founded this one,
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: focusing on preventing disasters from becoming catastrophic rather than simply
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: responding after they occur. In other words, make a plan.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Get a kit. Stay informed.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Get a kit. Early warning weather systems. All of those
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: things to hopefully give you a heads up. What do
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: we have on birthdays?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Birthdays. Tiffany Trump is 33 years old today.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: I forgot all about the fact that it was Tiffany.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: You tend to forget about, yeah, Donald's daughter with Marla Maples.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Himesh Patel is 36, star of HBO's The Franchise and Yesterday,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the movie. You remember the one about the guy who
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: wakes up in a world where nobody has heard of
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the Beatles? I do. It was a really... Actually, I
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the movie.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: I liked the concept. It was very cool.
• 18:04
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: AOC is 37. Ashanti is 46, the R & B singer.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Sasha Baron Cohen is 55.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Weird guy.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's about to star in something that's... I can't remember.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I saw it yesterday. He's about to be in something
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that you wouldn't expect to play of some sort.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's actually a very talented, very trained classic actor.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: He just.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: He just is so weird that he gets famous for
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: doing all the others.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: He likes to be annoying.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: He likes to be, yeah. Andy Kaufman.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Very much so.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: So much worse.
• 18:35
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know how to describe it other than that.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Rhett Akins is 57, the country singer whose son goes
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: by the name of Thomas Rhett. You've probably heard of
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: both of them. Nancy Kerrigan is 57 years old today.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, Lord.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she once wanted to be an Olympic gold medalist.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Almost got there.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: That turned out to be a pipe dream.
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Sorry, jokes with Willis on Thursday. I forgot. Kate Walsh
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: is 59 today. Addison on Grey's Anatomy. She had the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: spinoff private practice. Jerry Rice, 64. Man.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Greatest wide receiver to ever play the game.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Watching him and Joe Montana.
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Just unreal.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: You could throw out a bunch of names.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: And yes, I get it. The modern game is different
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: than the game back then. Greatest wide receiver to ever
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, certainly in the conversation. Marie Osmond is 67.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: She's a little bit country, as you know. Donnie, her brother,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: he won season nine of Dancing with the Stars. Marie
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: came in third in season five. So I guess we
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: know who the better dancer is. The Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, Sammy.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: 79 years old tonight. That's nuts.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: He looks great for 79.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Looks fantastic.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: That's insane.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Still sounds great, too.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, still do it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: During the COVID years, you know, those unprecedented, uncertain times.
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: Mm-hmm.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: He and Michael Anthony, former bassist of Van Halen, and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: several other musicians would get online, and Sammy would be
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in his shower, and they would do I remember this.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They're so good.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: In however many different places.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: And they would put together a song just out.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Of the jump.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Like it was nothing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fantastic.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was fun to see.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Paul Simon is 85 today, speaking of great musicians. Wow,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: good lord. Man, I was a huge Simon and Garfunkel kid.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: Who wasn't?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I just loved that. Demond Wilson would have been 80
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: years old today as we go on to the stiffs.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: You remember Demond Wilson. He was the big dummy, Lamont Sanford,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Sanford and son.
• 20:32
  Speaker 21: That's right.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Kelly Preston, John Travolta's wife. That's right. Was born on
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: this date in 1962. Yeah. The Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Holy cow.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Born on this date in 1925. Wow. Maybe, maybe next
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to Winston Churchill, perhaps the greatest prime minister ever.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Ever the most consequential and again you fall everything follows
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: winston churchill like it's yeah you know and again england's
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: had a lot of primes so i'm sure you go
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: back to like the olden days and come up with
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: one but yeah she's she's a short lister.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: And a groundbreaking comedian one that is featured heavily in
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite tv programs the marvelous mrs mazel
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Lenny Bruce was born on the state of 1925, man.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: He didn't, he didn't make it too many years.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: In real life.
• 21:16
  Speaker 22: He had a little, he had a little problem, a little,
• 21:18
  Speaker 22: he had a lot of problems, a lot of problems,
• 21:20
  Speaker 22: but insanely funny guy who, who really set the stage for,
• 21:25
  Speaker 22: I think, modern comedy.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Bruce is one of the people I point to when I,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: when I always say that it, whatever comedian you love,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: like for instance, Shane Gillis, all over the news for,
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: for everything, everything at SNL. Don't, don't, Ding him up
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: too hard. Because I guarantee you, Shane Gillis is one
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: of the most unhappy humans that you'll meet. Every comedian
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: is a dark soul.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they all come from darkness.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: And it's proportional. The better they are and the funnier
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: they are, the darker of a soul they are. Universally,
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: there is no exception to this rule that I have found.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I've never found.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: A mentally healthy comedian.
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: No.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Not a single one. And Lenny Bruce. Right there at
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: the top, man.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Even the ones you thought were mentally healthy and maybe
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: did children's programming cartoons, not so mentally healthy.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: No, watch that Paul Reubens documentary.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no. No, don't do that. All right. Skip it.
• 22:27

  Speaker 7: Been a lot of talk about Texas Avenue medians, so
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: I checked the record. In 21, Bobby voted for Resolution 3950,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: a $ 2 million raised median improvement along Texas Avenue. In 22,
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: he went further, making the motion to approve an agenda
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: containing another agreement for the Texas Avenue Raised Median Project.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: Those are the votes. That's the record. If voters approve
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: the median initiative this November, I'll work with TxDOT to
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: remove medians where we can. I'm Rafael Pena, and I'm

• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is hosting a speaker series. The second installment will take
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: place Wednesday morning with former Senator Phil Graham. He will
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: reflect on his journey from academia to public service, sharing
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: how a career grounded in scholarship teaching and higher education

  Speaker 1: can evolve into one of national leadership and lasting public impact.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Graham was a Texas A & M economics professor who
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: went on to serve in both the U.S. House of
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Representatives and the United States Senate. Senator Graham brings a
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: unique perspective on leadership, public policy, and civic engagement. His
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: career illustrates the far-reaching influence of Aggies beyond the classroom
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and reflects Texas A & M' s commitment to developing principled
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: leaders who shape communities and make a meaningful difference in

• 31:12
  Speaker 1: nine days sick, U.S. Senate candidate James Tallarico returned to
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the campaign over the weekend. He made public appearances in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Austin and in Dallas.
• 31:21
  Speaker 19: James Tallarico is in a neck-and-neck race with Ken Paxton
• 31:24
  Speaker 19: for U.S. Senate. While there's been some speculation on why
• 31:27
  Speaker 19: Tallarico was out, he tells NBC5 it was simply a
• 31:30
  Speaker 19: case of the flu.
• 31:31
  Speaker 29: So I was in bed and, you know, drinking lots
• 31:34
  Speaker 29: of liquids. Unfortunately, the campaign made me work from home,
• 31:37
  Speaker 29: so I didn't even get full days off. You know,
• 31:39
  Speaker 29: didn't want to be out on the trail and didn't
• 31:41
  Speaker 29: want to get anyone else sick.
• 31:42
  Speaker 19: Paxton telling Fox News he's surprised Tallarico was away from
• 31:45
  Speaker 19: the campaign, even if it was the flu. Paxton then
• 31:48
  Speaker 19: was asked about trailing Tallarico in the polls.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: We were behind because we had a three month runoff
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and he had three months to go out to California
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and New York and raise his money, which he's been doing.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: He did it just before he disappeared.
• 32:00
  Speaker 19: Early voting for the midterm election gets underway a week
• 32:03
  Speaker 19: from today. Russell Scott, TSN News.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Tallarico first appeared in the crowd at the Austin City
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Limits Festival on Friday, then a Casey Musgraves concert in
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Dallas on Saturday. He will be part of a CNN
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: town hall from Dallas on Wednesday. Governor Abbott was in
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: North Texas last week where he pointed to the recent
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: trips President Trump has made to the Lone Star State,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: saying having him visit only boosts his reelection.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: For one, he made clear early on, He was going
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: to be in Texas a whole lot. This goes back
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: to the springtime. Second, wherever he shows up, he really
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: causes Republicans and others to be very enthusiastic about going
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: to vote. We always see an increase in the desire
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: of Republicans and others to go vote whenever he shows up.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: This comes after Texas Attorney General and Republican U.S. Senate
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: nominee Ken Paxton said Trump's GOP convention in Dallas last
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: month hurt his campaign. Early voting for the midterms starts
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: on October 19th. More news on the way at 7

• 33:14
  Speaker 10: Brazos County is our home, but right now, big data
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: centers and outside interests are moving in, and the decisions
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: are being made by people who don't live here. When
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: we lose local control, we lose our community's character. We
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: need a representative who says no to the lobbyists and
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: yes to the neighbors. I'm Janet Dudding. I believe in
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: Texas values, hard work, local control, and protecting our land.

  Speaker 1: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 33:46
  Speaker 21: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 33:47
  Speaker 21: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 33:50
  Speaker 21: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 33:53
  Speaker 21: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 33:55
  Speaker 21: received a competitor's bid, which was five to ten times
• 33:58
  Speaker 21: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 34:01
  Speaker 21: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 34:05
  Speaker 21: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 34:07
  Speaker 21: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 34:11
  Speaker 21: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
• 34:15
  Speaker 21: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
• 34:18
  Speaker 21: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 34:20
  Speaker 21: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
• 34:22
  Speaker 21: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
• 34:26
  Speaker 21: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
• 34:29
  Speaker 21: full-time employees. Why pay more if you can get everything
• 34:32
  Speaker 21: you need at a fair price from a locally owned business?

  Speaker 12: He passed safeguards against dangerous uses of AI, and he

  Speaker 12: fought for Texas energy production to bring down prices at
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: the pump and cut costs for small businesses. These aren't promises.

  Speaker 5: 1620-945-WTAW, we're the Infomaniacs. What up? Welcome to Tuesday. And
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: not nice outside, 80 degrees. Feels worse because it's basically
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: swamp weather today, but that's okay. Getting up to the 90s,
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: going to feel like it's in the 100s, as Will says.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: You know, it's an up and down cycle.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: That's right. We had our first kind of, we had
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the second spring, spring to electric boogaloo. We had one
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: day of fall teas, but we're going to get back
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: into some fall weather. We'll have, you know, fall is
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: beautiful here. It's just scattered over a couple of weeks,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: a few days here and there.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: You got to just make it to Friday, Friday, Saturday,
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: very fall-like. Weather is brought to you by United Roofing
• 36:35

• 36:42
  Speaker 5: we got an Elko apology yesterday. Isn't that great?
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: We did, yes.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Let's listen to this. Here we go.
• 36:47
  Speaker 18: Just to address the post-game conversation again, you know, I
• 36:53
  Speaker 18: think in the heat of the moment, I think I
• 36:55
  Speaker 18: answered a question in a way that I certainly regret.
• 36:58
  Speaker 18: I think everybody knows I have a tremendous relationship with Billy.
• 37:02
  Speaker 18: I appreciate Billy. I appreciate him being here today. There's
• 37:05
  Speaker 18: nothing about Billy and I that have ever been off
• 37:08
  Speaker 18: since 2018 that I think everybody knows I appreciate our
• 37:12
  Speaker 18: fan base and everything that they're about and everything that
• 37:15
  Speaker 18: they mean to Texas A & M. And, you know,
• 37:19
  Speaker 18: outside of that, I'll leave it alone. And so I
• 37:21
  Speaker 18: just I regret I regret the way it was taken.
• 37:23
  Speaker 18: I regret the way it came out. I regret the
• 37:25
  Speaker 18: way it ran. And so that certainly was never my intention.
• 37:29
  Speaker 18: And certainly throughout the course of that interview, at no
• 37:32
  Speaker 18: point ever did I lend any blame to anything other
• 37:36
  Speaker 18: than myself. I am the reason why this team is struggling.
• 37:38
  Speaker 18: I have owned that since this has started. I continue
• 37:41
  Speaker 18: to own that. It's my job to figure out how
• 37:43
  Speaker 18: to get it better.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: There you go.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be this season. I
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: think we have the chance to show some improvement this season,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: but I don't think we're going to do much.
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: No, man.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know if this is the part about if
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: you're a fan. you can't have expectations higher than what
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: they are capable of doing. And they're not going to
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden just move one thing and.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Then Expectations have to be recalibrated on occasion, and this
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: is one of those.
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: At least we're not the University of Arkansas.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: That's the truth.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: They are worse. Do you hear what they had planned?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sure. This is spread everywhere.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know anything about this.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: So the fans have decided that no matter the outcome
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: of every future football competition, they are going to storm
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the field, win or lose.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Just for funsies?
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Just to get the fine for the university. Until they
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: fire their athletic director.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Just to make them pay.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Fire the AD and we rush the field every game.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: That is the thing you have to remember as Aggie fans.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: It could always be worse. I know what you're thinking.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: You're looking down the barrel at 4-8. What's worse than 4-8?
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: That's worse than 4-8.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: I'll give you an even worse than that. You could
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: be Baylor. Baylor had a moment where Baylor kind of
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: became a thing, and people started actually paying attention to them.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both on the field and off the field.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Very much law enforcement started paying attention. But no one
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: cares about a school. like Baylor when it comes to football. Yeah,
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: some people show up at the game. Eh, okay, have
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: a good time. Matter if they win or lose. They
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: go to Stucky's and then they go home afterwards.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Very boring tailgating, I'm assuming.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: I don't even know. I cannot imagine what a Baylor
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: tailgate looks like. university of houston comes to mind who
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: actually is in a really good place connor.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Wigman killing it yeah absolutely they're.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Number 20 in the nation they can't sell out the
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: lower deck of their stadium it's been a big it's
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: been for years why but we have a ranked team
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: why aren't people going to this game if you if
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: you go to a game they do all the right
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: things they have really good in-game entertainment they have celebrities
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: stopping by they have All the pyro, everything, cannot sell.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: They don't have a university culture.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no one cares. That's what's worse.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: It's worse. Things will get better. They will. I've lived
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: through Aggie football seasons since the early 1970s. I think
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I went to my first game maybe in 75.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: That's important to remember, friends. There was a time before
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: the 80s that many of us were raised in. I
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: do think that's a part of it, because people my age,
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: you remember the 70s. I remember the 80s and 90s.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: So when I was growing up, A & M was fire.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: It just happened to be the years I was growing
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: up were the only years they were fire.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: We spent a million dollars on a head coach who
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: has come in to visit our studios here a couple
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: of times the last couple of years.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Jackie Sherrill.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Was a million-dollar coach, and the headlines were everywhere. How
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: can you spend that much money on a coach?
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: It's like a week, dude. Sark gets a million a game.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: At this point. It's absolute. But yeah, you're telling me,
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: what was it like in the seventies?
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: It was pretty brutal. I mean, that was, that was essentially,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I think the causation of battered Aggie syndrome. It was
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: just rough. It was just rough.
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: It was, it was, it was a hard time, the
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: hard time to be.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I have great memories of it. I remember, you know,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: you know, talking to the players after the game. Cause
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: you could kind of go on the field and talk
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: to them.
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: Cause no one cared.
• 41:43
  Speaker 13: No.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: We would get, they would give us, sometimes they would
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: give us some of their pads, like their elbow pad
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: or hand pads. And we'd go to the junior high
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: game and you'd wear them in those and think you're
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: really cool. I got this pad from an Aggie. It's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: going to make me play better.
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: That is a, that is a far cry from where
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: the game is progressing. Take the wins where you can
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: find them. You know, if you get, if you get
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: a surprise win, like if you, if you, if you
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: creep up on someone and beat one team, That's fine.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: That's that's that's what I would look for. Like, can
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: you get one good win? And then, yeah, you know,
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: go on to other things because it's going to be
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: a long, long six games. But at least you have
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: them and at least you get to go.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful that at the at the end of
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: the Jimbo years, I decided that it was probably best
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: not to tie my mental well-being to college football.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: It's a wise.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I'm a much mentally healthier person, and my liver thanks
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: me every day.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: Back after this.
• 42:42
  Speaker 30: Hi, this is Neal Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 42:45

• 42:47
  Speaker 30: sponsor and friends at Producers.

  Speaker 31: Ranchers, it's time for you to plan your cattle feed
• 42:53
  Speaker 31: and mineral requirements for your winter feeding program. Take advantage of.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Bulk contract prices and place your order at.
• 42:59
  Speaker 31: Producers Cooperative between September 25th and October 17th. Reserve your
• 43:05
  Speaker 31: feed and minerals now and pick up or take delivery
• 43:08
  Speaker 31: as you need them. Contracting runs September 25th through October

  Speaker 31: 17th at Producers Cooperative. Everything nutrition since 1943.
• 43:20
  Speaker 30: If you polled 100 gardeners, what part of their landscape
• 43:23
  Speaker 30: do you think they'd report as getting the least amount
• 43:26
  Speaker 30: of their time and effort? It's an area almost all
• 43:28
  Speaker 30: of us have, and yet very.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Few of us put it to good use. It's the space.
• 43:32
  Speaker 30: Between houses, that shrinking little boundary between properties. It's 10
• 43:37
  Speaker 30: or 20 feet wide, it's 100 feet long, and that's 1,000
• 43:40
  Speaker 30: square feet or more of valuable ground that's probably just
• 43:43
  Speaker 30: going to waste. We're going to explore some opportunities right
• 43:47
  Speaker 30: after this important message. That hot, dry summer weather drove
• 43:51
  Speaker 30: the fire ants out of sight for a while, but
• 43:53
  Speaker 30: they're still out there waiting to sting us and bite us.
• 43:57
  Speaker 30: And now that we're getting fall rains, here come the mounds.
• 44:00
  Speaker 30: The mounds aren't just unsightly, they're a potential danger to you,
• 44:04
  Speaker 30: your family, and your pets. Control fire ants now by
• 44:08
  Speaker 30: applying Fertilum Come and Get It Fire Ant Killer. It
• 44:11
  Speaker 30: contains spinosad and an organic bait that attracts the foraging ants.
• 44:16
  Speaker 30: They take it back into the mound to feed the
• 44:18
  Speaker 30: queen and worker ants, and they start to die within
• 44:21
  Speaker 30: 24 hours. Sprinkle four tablespoons of Fertilome Come and Get
• 44:25
  Speaker 30: It Fire Ant Killer evenly over the mound and extend
• 44:28
  Speaker 30: it out about two feet. No watering is necessary. Fertilome
• 44:32
  Speaker 30: is dedicated to supporting local businesses. Their products can only
• 44:36
  Speaker 30: be found in independently owned garden centers and feed stores.
• 44:40
  Speaker 30: They're made right here in the Lone Star State in Bonham, Texas.
• 44:43
  Speaker 30: Fertilome Come and Get It Fire Ant Killer, made in Texas,
• 44:46
  Speaker 30: for Texas lawns and gardens. If you have a narrow
• 44:51
  Speaker 30: space between your house and your neighbor as we so
• 44:53
  Speaker 30: often do in urban landscaping, you need to plan a
• 44:56
  Speaker 30: shared garden. If both you and your neighbor enjoy gardening,
• 44:59
  Speaker 30: the in-between space is ideal. Whether it's flowers, vegetables, or herbs,
• 45:04
  Speaker 30: it gives you the chance to combine your efforts and
• 45:06
  Speaker 30: share your rewards. You can buy one rototiller between the
• 45:10
  Speaker 30: two of you and each of you can grow your
• 45:11
  Speaker 30: favorite crops. It's a great place to teach kids about gardening,
• 45:15
  Speaker 30: and it's a good way to meet neighbors and make friends.
• 45:18
  Speaker 30: That's a grand idea. If you have a side entry
• 45:21
  Speaker 30: to your home or garage, then the space between houses
• 45:23
  Speaker 30: becomes much more important. You're actually going to be walking there.
• 45:28
  Speaker 30: You may have a rear entry garage, and if so,
• 45:30
  Speaker 30: you'll want some manner of sidewalk or path from the
• 45:32
  Speaker 30: drive to the door. Consider interlocking concrete pavers, hard-fired paving bricks,
• 45:38
  Speaker 30: or flagstone. Each is a durable hard surface and each
• 45:42
  Speaker 30: is an easy do-it-yourself project. Set the walk out from
• 45:46
  Speaker 30: the building so you create a small planting bed and
• 45:48
  Speaker 30: then fill it with.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Your favorite flowers or herbs.
• 45:51
  Speaker 30: You'll love the aromas as you brush against them, but
• 45:54
  Speaker 30: stay with small plants, plants that stay small at maturity.
• 45:57
  Speaker 30: How about a breakfast nook or patio garden off the
• 46:00
  Speaker 30: master bedroom? If you have access from either of those
• 46:03
  Speaker 30: two important parts of your home, Consider building a small
• 46:06
  Speaker 30: retreat where you can go to get away from the
• 46:08
  Speaker 30: phone and your email. You can erect whatever arbor or
• 46:12
  Speaker 30: covering it takes to gain privacy and then build yourself
• 46:15
  Speaker 30: a little place of retreat. Put in a spa or
• 46:18
  Speaker 30: at a small wrought iron bistro table for coffee while
• 46:21
  Speaker 30: you access your computer or do whatever it is you
• 46:24
  Speaker 30: do to get away from it all. Hang baskets and
• 46:27
  Speaker 30: wall plants and surround yourself with handsome patio pots. At
• 46:31
  Speaker 30: the other extreme, if you're looking for a utilitarian place
• 46:34
  Speaker 30: to store things, this in-between area may be the ticket.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: For that as well.
• 46:39
  Speaker 30: If you have a space that's hidden from sight, consider
• 46:42
  Speaker 30: some type of a structure to house the mower, the trimmer,
• 46:45
  Speaker 30: and the portable grill. Be sure it all meets code
• 46:48
  Speaker 30: and constructed out of quality materials that won't become an
• 46:50
  Speaker 30: eyesore later. Screen it off with tall shrubs or a
• 46:53
  Speaker 30: short run of fence, but keep it accessible. If you
• 46:56
  Speaker 30: need shade, let's assume the area faces west. Let's figure
• 46:59
  Speaker 30: you'd like to plant a tree for the shade. It'll
• 47:02
  Speaker 30: need to get up and over the house. Otherwise, it'll
• 47:05
  Speaker 30: crowd in on things too much. I'm Neal Sperry. Less
• 47:08
  Speaker 30: labor in your landscape in our next Plant Talk Texas.
• 47:11
  Speaker 30: Until then, happy gardening.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: Getting to the fall, this is, see, I don't know.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: Is it engagement season? I feel like the fall is
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: engagement season. You creep up towards the holidays, and it
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: just so happens that it seems like a lot of
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: people tend to get engaged. this time of year because
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: of so many opportunities. So maybe you are looking to
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: pop the question, what do you, well, you got to
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: shop for rings. I could tell you about the individual
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: rings over at David Gardner's Jewel, or I could tell
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: you about some type of diamonds that they have, or
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: some kind of design that everyone seems like, but I'm
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: not going to do that because I don't know. David
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: Gardner's knows. David Gardner's is where Aggies get engaged. It's
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: been where Aggies get engaged for decades now. And the
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: best thing you can do if you are looking to
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: pop the question is make an appointment with the team
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: at David Gardner's Jewelers because they can figure out the
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: ring that's perfect for her. Even if that ring is
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: a custom one-of-a-kind ring, that's the type of thing that
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: David Gardner's Jewelers just loves. Bottom line, get in and
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: talk to him.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Make an appointment.
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: You can do that online very, very easily at davidgardenersjewelers.com.
• 48:29

  Speaker 14: Hello, Brazos Valley. This is Brandon Eisman with Dean &
• 48:36
  Speaker 14: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 48:40
  Speaker 14: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 48:42
  Speaker 14: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 48:44
  Speaker 14: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 48:48
  Speaker 14: from property taxes to.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, insurance.
• 48:52
  Speaker 14: And speaking of insurance, the cost of home and auto
• 48:54
  Speaker 14: insurance has risen more in the last two years than
• 48:57
  Speaker 14: I've witnessed in my career, and it's absolutely impacting our budgets.
• 49:01
  Speaker 14: It can be very frustrating. At Dean & Draper Insurance,

• 50:04
  Speaker 32: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 50:08
  Speaker 32: on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie volleyball team fell to number 19
• 50:13
  Speaker 32: in the AVCA poll rankings after losing to Oklahoma and
• 50:17
  Speaker 32: Arkansas last week.
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: Despite the losses, this is.
• 50:21
  Speaker 32: The Maroon and White's 25th consecutive week ranked within the
• 50:24
  Speaker 32: top 25. Up next, the Aggies are preparing to host
• 50:27
  Speaker 32: the Florida Gators at Reed Arena on Friday night with
• 50:30
  Speaker 32: first serve set for 6 o'clock. Yesterday afternoon, the SEC
• 50:34
  Speaker 32: announced that Texas A & M football's game at Alabama
• 50:37
  Speaker 32: next Saturday, October 24th, will kick off at 2.30 in
• 50:41
  Speaker 32: the afternoon. This week, though, the Aggies are gearing up
• 50:44
  Speaker 32: to host the Citadel at Kyle Field for their final
• 50:47
  Speaker 32: regular season non-conference game. Head coach Mike Elko spoke about
• 50:51
  Speaker 32: the Aggies' recent loss against Missouri and what he and
• 50:54
  Speaker 32: his team are working on fixing ahead of this Saturday's game.
• 50:57
  Speaker 18: Obviously, I think the thoughts on the game were summed
• 51:00
  Speaker 18: up afterwards. I think the film reflected it in thought. offensively,
• 51:03
  Speaker 18: we just weren't really creating enough to create any kind
• 51:07
  Speaker 18: of momentum, any kind of flow in the game. The
• 51:09
  Speaker 18: failures were at every level that we struggled up front
• 51:12
  Speaker 18: handling them. We couldn't get the run game established and
• 51:15
  Speaker 18: we couldn't get anything going in the throw game. And
• 51:17
  Speaker 18: so obviously it's a go back to the drawing board
• 51:19
  Speaker 18: moment again. And again, I know words are what they are,
• 51:22
  Speaker 18: but we've got to find ways to get more creative
• 51:25
  Speaker 18: and we've got to find ways to be able to
• 51:26
  Speaker 18: move the ball efficiently. Defensively, I thought we held up
• 51:30
  Speaker 18: for a large chunk of the game, playing at a
• 51:33
  Speaker 18: level that could have won us the game. But then
• 51:35
  Speaker 18: I think some breakdowns in the second half ultimately allowed
• 51:37
  Speaker 18: the game to get out of hand. And we're just
• 51:39
  Speaker 18: not built to play from behind right now. And so
• 51:42
  Speaker 18: we've got to turn the page. We've got to move forward.
• 51:44
  Speaker 18: And like I told the team this morning, we're in
• 51:46
  Speaker 18: a situation where we have to improve and we have
• 51:48
  Speaker 18: to get better. And I think there's a tremendous amount
• 51:51
  Speaker 18: of fight in our building, in our coaching staff, and
• 51:53
  Speaker 18: in our players to do that. But we've got to
• 51:55
  Speaker 18: go do it.
• 51:56
  Speaker 32: Kickoff for this Saturday's game is set for noon. Yesterday afternoon,
• 52:01
  Speaker 32: the SEC announced that A & M men's basketball newcomer P.J.
• 52:05
  Speaker 32: Haggerty was selected to the preseason All-SEC third team. Haggerty
• 52:09
  Speaker 32: came to Aggieland after spending the 2025-2026 season at Kansas State,
• 52:14
  Speaker 32: where he started all 31 games he appeared in, and
• 52:18
  Speaker 32: ranked fourth nationally and second in the Big 12, averaging
• 52:21
  Speaker 32: 23 points per game overall. Haggerty met with the media
• 52:24
  Speaker 32: to talk about what he brings to the table for
• 52:26
  Speaker 32: the Aggies and what the team is looking like ahead
• 52:28
  Speaker 32: of the start of the season.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: How would I describe my game?
• 52:32
  Speaker 33: I would say three-level score. I mean, I can score
• 52:34
  Speaker 33: at all levels, I would say, but get my teammates involved,
• 52:37
  Speaker 33: get to the paint, make plays for my other teammates,
• 52:39
  Speaker 33: and just being a leader, trying to win. I mean,
• 52:42
  Speaker 33: I control the pace of the game, get my teammates involved.
• 52:45
  Speaker 33: Got a lot of shooters I can hit, big man
• 52:47
  Speaker 33: I can double it off to, so it's been, got
• 52:49
  Speaker 33: to fit pretty good.
• 52:50
  Speaker 32: The Maroon and White's first exhibition game of the season
• 52:53
  Speaker 32: is Sunday, October 25th against SMU at the Moody Coliseum.

  Speaker 5: In Dallas, Texas.
• 52:58
  Speaker 32: Tip-off for the game is set for 1 o'clock on

  Speaker 5: it was a million over the total contract. $ 250K per year,
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: a membership to Briarcrest, and a Cadillac from C.J. Allen.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: That was there for a good old Jackie Sherrill.
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: Just for the total was a million dollars. Terry texts in,
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: don't forget the 60s. In the early 60s, dad said
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: they had to kiss on first downs because they never
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: scored touchdown. Those were lean times.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Could always be worse.
