  Speaker 10: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys. Looking at a pretty nice day,
• 5:41
  Speaker 10: getting up to highs of the low 80s and down
• 5:44
  Speaker 10: to the around 60-degree mark tomorrow. A few more clouds
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: for Tuesday than we have today. Weather's brought to you
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: by Malick Service Company. The Texas heat air conditioner works overtime,
• 5:52

• 5:56
  Speaker 10: you to keep your AC running properly.
• 5:58
  Speaker 11: Malick.
• 5:59
  Speaker 10: Feel the difference. You have spent a good amount of
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: time in East Texas. Yes. Or parts east of here.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, I have.
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: Texas Monthly has put out an expose about the East
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: Texas tradition of salsa butter.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was– I knew about buttered tortillas, right?
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: You put the butter on the tortillas. That's not– yeah,
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: that's fine.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I knew that was going on over there.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I was aware of this particular little.
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: The first time I– well, the first time I– obviously,
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: if you go to East Texas, what you're going to
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: find is parquet. Like, there's parquet just on the side.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Squeezable parquet. Squeezed butter.
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: And, yeah– for tortillas yeah that's great we even used
• 6:42
  Speaker 10: to i want to say here at uh back when
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: there was a fajita rita's i want to say fajita
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: rita's might have dabbled in the butter i think i
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: recall that for the purposes of tortillas the first time
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: i was somewhere where i saw someone squirt butter into
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: a dish of salsa was just i mean that was
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: just something i didn't think i was gonna have to
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: steal myself against. I just wasn't... But I want to
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: bring it up because specifically it's in Texas Monthly. And
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: now people are having a real online debate about this.
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: And I don't see how it's something we're going to debate. Like,
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: this is not.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: No, this is akin to putting ketchup on your chicken
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: fried steak underneath the gravy.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: Oh, sorry, Jay. But I mean, honestly. Yeah. So my
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: thought is that perhaps someone... would know enough about this
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: to either, A, tell us the pros, or maybe we're
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: on an island on this.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They say that the fatty butter tempers some of the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: hot of the hot sauce. My point is, that's the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: purpose of hot sauce.
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, why so weak? Why so weak? Like, yeah, exactly, Will.
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: If I'm going to have salsa, I'm going to eat salsa.
• 8:00
  Speaker 10: I'm not trying to get.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, Will, I just need to take a little
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: bit of the edge off.
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: Now, I've seen, obviously, a lot more people go the
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: other route and then mix it with ranch, which also
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: is a little bit weird. I mean, normally it only
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: happens at Chili's.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: No, if you've got to temper it down a little bit,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you use the queso. You use the queso for that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: Why wouldn't you just combine the two?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Michael, I thought it, Michael, and Michael, you said it,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and we wonder why obesity is such an issue in America.
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: Well, now we've got the GLPs, Michael. Obesity's over. Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: Now I can use as much butter.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: As I want. That's right. You can squeeze that parquet
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: directly into your parquet hole.
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: A whole bottle of parquet is no reason.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: About the only thing I use squeezed butter for is
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: on my ribs.
• 8:51
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I will use the squeezed butter. On the ribs.
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: Squeezed butter, though, isn't really butter.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: No, it's... It's just oil. It was developed as a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: lubricant for submarines. Wait.
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: That's... Is that real? I believe it is real. The margarine... Yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the margarine.
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: Margarine was developed to lube up submarines?
• 9:12
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: Presumably so they could cut through the water a little bit.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: More silently. I would have thought it would have gone
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: the other way. Someone might have realized, hey, maybe we
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: can do this and it'll help the submarine. But like
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: developing margarine for submarines seems... But still, regardless, 979-695-1620 is
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: our phone number. And we ask you this morning to
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: tell us your experiences and your thoughts regarding the This
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: awful practice. This awful, awful, awful practice.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But, again, convince us. The AI doesn't have that in there.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: They say that Margin was originally developed by a French guy.
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: Did he own a submarine? He did not.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Are we sure?
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: But especially the Navy needs to know.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Fats, a spread option that was easy to transport.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: It wouldn't spoil as quickly.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: And margarine will do that. And now we find it
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: in our salt. East Texas is just a confounding place.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: It just never quite. You never quite.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: There's things that go on behind the pine curtain.
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: As soon as you answer one thing, you have more
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: questions pop up. It's bizarre. Anyway, Texas, if you've got anything, 979.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: 695-1620.
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: We'll be back right after this.
• 10:30
  Speaker 14: This is Brian Mayer, Bobby Gutierrez. I've spent my life
• 10:33
  Speaker 14: in business, and I brought the same mindset to City Hall.
• 10:36
  Speaker 14: When someone wants to invest in Brian, create jobs, expand
• 10:39
  Speaker 14: a business, or build something great, our job should be
• 10:41
  Speaker 14: to help find solutions, not create roadblocks. It's called working
• 10:45
  Speaker 14: at the speed of business. That approach is helping create
• 10:47
  Speaker 14: real momentum across Brian, and we're competing. We're growing, and
• 10:51
  Speaker 14: we're getting things done. I'm Bobby Gutierrez, and I'd be
• 10:54
  Speaker 14: honored to continue serving as your mayor.

  Speaker 10: 1620-945-WTAW-979-695-1620 is our phone number. Tad texts in, no, Crisco
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: on German subs, boys.
• 12:32
  Speaker 17: No, no.
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: Reported on Infomaniacs last year, I heard.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was, they had it on the submarines, but again,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it was just because... It wasn't used for a lubricant.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I swear I heard that story.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: It sounds somewhat familiar to me, too, but we'll track.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Originally, Crisco was developed from cottonseed oil because there
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was a whole conglomerate that owned that. tallow and lard, right?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Animal fats. Yeah. So they were hard to get. So
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they used cottonseed oil. They invented this process to internally
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: hydrogenize it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: And then thusly hydrogenated oil.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, and there we got those heart attacks thanks to that.
• 13:11
  Speaker 10: And off to the races we went. David says the following.
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: People who put butter in salsa are the same people
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: who think eating Panda Express makes them worldly.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: The Lord's chicken, my man.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: The Lord.
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: Sounds good.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, Panda Express is not real Chinese food, but
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: it's good food.
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: I still eat Taco Bell. I know it's not Tex-Mex.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it has its place.
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: Bill, maybe it's like the brisket rule.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Fat equals flavor. Yeah, but it's not real fat.
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: Why wouldn't you put actual butter in it? Or like
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: you mentioned, beef tallow is having a moment. Why don't
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: you just dump some beef tallow in your salsa? That
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: might actually make it pricier.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But anything that you have to do to tame the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: heat in your salsa, I got to go back to that.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, when I'm ordering food from my favorite Mexican establishments,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: they will ask, what kind of sauce do you want?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And my response always is, Hot as you got.
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: Hot as you get. See, I usually, I want green
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: sauce or nothing. I mean, I do want, you know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: I dip my chips in the red sauce. But if
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: you're bringing me a diet, I want that green.
• 14:25
  Speaker 18: And not.
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: tomatillo salsa.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's famous in this area.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: There are competitions to see who has informal competitions, but
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: we could make it an infomaniac competition.
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: To have the best green sauce in town. Who are
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: we working with? Me Familia. No, Coco Loco. Well, it's
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: Me Familia, Coco Loco. No, The Coco Loco. I know
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: there's a little bit of a collab issue there. Infomaniacs,
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: you're on the radio. What do you have for us today? Hello.
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: I swear there's something wrong with this.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: You think?
• 15:08
  Speaker 19: Yeah, well.
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: You know, what else is there?
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: A pile of errors, my guess.
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: But that's always a possibility. Yeah, but I would love
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: to know what the consensus is on green sauce.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's got the best green sauce? The best green sauce.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: People could fight over this.
• 15:21
  Speaker 10: They absolutely could. I'm going to try this one more
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: time because I like talking to you guys. Oh, hey, okay,
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: you're on the radio. What do you have for us today?
• 15:29
  Speaker 19: This is Deborah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 14: I am from Northeast Texas.
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: Oh, oh.
• 15:32
  Speaker 15: And the reason why we put so much butter in
• 15:34
  Speaker 15: the hot sauce is whatever.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: In the 90s, restaurants here started putting tortillas.
• 15:40
  Speaker 15: You didn't use three tortillas.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: So you would put the butter in the hot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 14: The butter would just fall into the hot.
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: Sauce, so everybody just started putting butter.
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: In the hot sauce.
• 15:48
  Speaker 20: Holy cow.
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: It was an accident.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: It was kind of like your peanut butter fell into
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: my chocolate. No, your chocolate fell into my peanut butter.
• 15:55
  Speaker 20: Exactly.
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: That's how it started?
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: That's how it started.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Holy moly.
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: Well, there you go.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I knew people put it on the tortillas, and if
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: they were hot, I guess it would drip into the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: salsa that makes.
• 16:04
  Speaker 10: A lot of sense. So you're a proud daughter of
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: East Texas. Northeast Texas. So when you're around, when you're here,
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: when you're here in the Brass Valley, do you put
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: parquet in your salsa?
• 16:18
  Speaker 15: No, because nobody puts it on the table.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: But if it was available. If it was. If it
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: was available, you'd be right back in there.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:26
  Speaker 19: You know what?
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: Look, there's passion there.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: There is.
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: Thank you so much, Debra. We've got to talk about
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: some paranormal things. Oh, do we?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: It's Halloween. Yeah, well, it's Halloween. But this year, we
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: are seeing a spike that is unheralded when it comes
• 16:42
  Speaker 10: to Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. In fact, yeah, Nessie.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I've been there.
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: You've been to Loch Ness?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I have.
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: Did you see Nessie? Did not.
• 16:51
  Speaker 21: Oh.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: Sadly.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I was very disappointed.
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: They're double the sightings this year. As there were last year.
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: Now that's okay. It goes up and down. What's interesting
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: about this article. When I was reading it. They had
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: some recent sightings. And like the biggest one. Some guy
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: was like. Yeah I was out there. Saw about a
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: 20 foot. 20 foot creature. That was swimming around.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Couldn't get to my cell phone.
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: Couldn't get to my cell phone. To get a pic.
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: But hey you saw it. He said it looked like
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: it had a head too.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: A couple of things I need to mention. They tried
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: to sweep. Well, they've done this several times. Obviously, they've
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: tried to sonar Loch Ness. Oh, since the 70s. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: nothing there.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Not before.
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: They tried to do DNA samples of the water, see
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: if there's any unidentified species DNA, like a plesiosaur DNA
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: or something like that they might be able to track down.
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: But now there's a new theory. And that theory is
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: that it's just an eel.
• 17:51
  Speaker 21: An eel.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: An eel.
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: A big eel? And the way they're saying it makes like, well,
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: you know, we can explain that it's probably just an eel. Guys,
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: if it's a 20-something foot eel, is that not... That's
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: as big as Nessie. A monster?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: That's a monster.
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: Can you imagine a 20-foot eel?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I'm actually thinking about sushi right now because that's one
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of my favorites, freshwater eel.
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: Nasty creatures. 20 feet long. That is a Loch Ness.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Monster, guys. Yeah, I would say so. That would qualify.
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: It's 100% a Loch Ness monster.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I was sad.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: It doesn't have to be a plesiosaur. While I was there,
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: I didn't get to see it. Oh, yeah. No, there's
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: whole tourism things around.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. You go out and try to find Nessie.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a big deal. You know, what could
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: be is is Nessie is being seen more often or
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: perhaps there's more of them because of global warming.
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: Sorry.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: That's I'm sure that's because climate change is climate change.
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: Like she's she's she's angry. Is she angry? Yeah, I
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: don't know.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Look, I cannot I cannot read the mind of a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: mythical creature, but I'm.
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: Too hot in my. Yeah. You know, hey, you know,
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: warm it up a little bit more. Then let's get
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: her moving around. We need to solve this mystery.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Speaking of mysteries, and we're still working on the mystery
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of the green sauce. Yes, we are. Fred throws one
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: in here.
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: Oh, okay.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: What do we got?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Fred throws one in here that is way out of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: left field. You know, it's one of these small town places.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Sargento's in Snook.
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: I have never been to Sargento's. I didn't know Sargento's existed, Fred.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: An incredible jalapeno green salsa with a nice smokiness. Do it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 19: Hmm.
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: You call it green. Calling it green salsa makes me
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: think this isn't the same thing we're talking about.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Because there's a difference between green sauce and green salsa.
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: Green sauce is green sauce. And it is jalapeno based.
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: It is jalapeno based. Now, it is possible that this
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: is green sauce. And if it is a smoked green sauce,
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: would that be different? Heck yeah, it would be different. Yes,
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: it would. Heck yeah, it would be different. No one
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: does that here, to my knowledge. Not to my knowledge. Again,
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: if you've got a green sauce you want to submit
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: as the best green sauce that is around, please, 979-695-1620.

  Speaker 19: On this Monday, I'm thinking about a congresswoman, Ilhan Omar.
• 21:59
  Speaker 19: The radical Democrat from Minnesota is in trouble. The Justice
• 22:03
  Speaker 19: Department apparently has DNA evidence proving she married her brother...
• 22:11
  Speaker 19: to get him a green card to work in the USA.
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: If that's true, that's fraud. The congresswoman is being portrayed
• 22:20
  Speaker 19: in some precincts as a political martyr. Now, we need
• 22:25
  Speaker 19: to let this play out and see where the facts lead.
• 22:29
  Speaker 19: In the meantime, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is investigating Ms.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: Omar's personal finances. You may remember she initially claimed on
• 22:41
  Speaker 19: documents to have millions of dollars in cash. Well, when
• 22:47
  Speaker 19: that was publicized, she suddenly revised the document. Now the
• 22:52
  Speaker 19: figure is somewhere around $ 95, 000. I have looked at the
• 22:59
  Speaker 19: Congresswoman's case. If she is guilty, Ilhan Omar may be deported.
• 23:06
  Speaker 19: And that would be the first time in American history
• 23:09
  Speaker 19: that a sitting congressperson was booted from the country. So,
• 23:15
  Speaker 19: to be fair, let's the feds compile the evidence and
• 23:18
  Speaker 19: present it to we the people and the courts. I
• 23:21
  Speaker 19: believe in due process. But if I were Ilhan Omar,
• 23:26
  Speaker 19: I'd be worried. Back in a moment. Every October, the
• 23:30
  Speaker 19: same thing happens. People start getting sick. And suddenly everybody
• 23:35
  Speaker 19: needs medication at the same time. Don't wait for that.

• 32:32
  Speaker 8: What's going on, son?
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: I don't know, coach.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: It's like I can't see the field clearly anymore. Everything's
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: a blur.
• 32:38
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 32:39
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 32:40

  Speaker 26: When it comes to insurance, experience matters. Experience with people,
• 33:20
  Speaker 26: experience getting it right, and experience serving the Brazos Valley
• 33:24
  Speaker 26: and Central Texas to the very best of our ability.
• 33:26
  Speaker 26: Service Insurance Group is locally and Aggie-owned with deep roots
• 33:29
  Speaker 26: in the community, and we.
• 33:30
  Speaker 18: Care about the people we serve.
• 33:32
  Speaker 26: They're our neighbor and our friends. As an independent insurance broker,
• 33:35
  Speaker 26: we can source the best possible pricing and coverage available
• 33:38
  Speaker 26: and have the experience to make sure it's the right
• 33:39
  Speaker 26: fit for you. Insuring Texans since 1987. Service Insurance Group.
• 33:47
  Speaker 21: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 33:50
  Speaker 21: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 33:55
  Speaker 21: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 33:58
  Speaker 21: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 34:00
  Speaker 21: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court system.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: That works for the people it serves.
• 34:06
  Speaker 21: Blacklock has called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying
• 34:11
  Speaker 21: court procedures, and making legal services more affordable. Because a
• 34:15
  Speaker 21: case should be decided on the facts and the law,
• 34:18
  Speaker 21: not on who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts
• 34:21
  Speaker 21: belong to the people. That means judges should be accountable,
• 34:25
  Speaker 21: rules should be clear, and the system should be accessible
• 34:28
  Speaker 21: to those who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice
• 34:31
  Speaker 21: means more than a principle. It means a court system
• 34:34
  Speaker 21: Texans can understand. Trust and afford to use. Chief Justice
• 34:38
  Speaker 21: Jimmy Blacklock.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Clear rules.
• 34:40
  Speaker 21: Accountable courts. Equal justice under law.

• 34:47
  Speaker 10: 1620, 94.5 WTAW. 59 degrees as you breeze out of
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: the door today. Getting up to a high around 82,
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: 83 maybe. And tomorrow, pretty much the same thing, only
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: you're going to get clouds. And then Wednesday, you're going
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: to get a chance of rain. 40% chance of showers.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: Weather is brought to you by Malik Service Company and
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: the Texas Heat Air Conditioner works overtime to well-tuned AC.
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: It'll save you money and keep you comfortable. Turn to
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: the experts at Malik and Carey to keep your AC
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: running properly. Malik, feel the difference. I feel like we're
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: getting hung up here. We need to go back to
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: the green sauce thing because we've got a lot of
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: text messages on this, and we were asking in that
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: conversation with.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: The butter and the salsa, which brought up.
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: Green sauce and green salsa, but the problem is We
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: are all over the road. We are.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: And the green sauce that we're specifically referring to is
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the spicy jalapeno-based.
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: It's the kind that if you don't know what it
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: is and you're expecting something different, that if you dip
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: a chip in it, it is a shock.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: It is the kind that if you've been there before
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and you know it, You know that you need to
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: wait until your beverage hits the table before you go
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: in on the green sauce.
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: We're talking about the green sauce. If you accidentally ingest it,
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: this is a crisis. That's what we're talking about. And
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: it always appears the same thing. It appears like a
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: creamy green thing.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Which is tricky because you have those places like have
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: been mentioned in text messages.
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: Casa Olay has come up several times.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: And that's a cool experience.
• 36:26
  Speaker 18: Yeah, that is.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: That's like a block in.
• 36:29
  Speaker 10: Sour cream blend. And you're thinking, ooh, it's a little
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: bit tangy and there's not a lot of heat.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: That's not what we're talking about.
• 36:35
  Speaker 22: No!
• 36:37
  Speaker 27: No.
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: This is the opposite of that. And we're looking for
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: the best that you got. Eric texts in, as with anything... Jesse's,
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: a strong contender, goes on to say, also, I ate
• 36:54
  Speaker 10: at Sargento's Franklin location for the first time last week,
• 36:57
  Speaker 10: and I can confirm that what was being described is,
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: in fact, green sauce. Top three for sure.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: And Fred texts in with a translation, right? He's pulled
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: up the Google Translate. Oh, no, Frank! Said, you know,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: sauce in English, salsa in Spanish.
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: Look, we get that.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: But what we speak here is not Espanol.
• 37:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: What we speak here is what I refer to as Texican.
• 37:25
  Speaker 25: Mm-hmm.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: So you can say there is a difference between sauce
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and salsa in Texican.
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, sure. But, like, also, when I hear salsa, my
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: thought is it's going to be, is that common?
• 37:38
  Speaker 17: It's chunky.
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: You know how many times I've asked someone about green salsa,
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: they brought me back, told me it's salsa. And I'm like,
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: not Texican. Yes, it is green.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And it's good.
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: Yes, I can pour it on things. That's not the thing.
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: It's not the thing.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Amy. Yeah.
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: Cameron Ranch. It's a second mention of Cameron Ranch.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I don't even know about Cameron Ranch. No, me either.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Has the best green hot sauce to put on your
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: breakfast taco, hands down.
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: That's it.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: The best green salsa to dip your chip in is
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: at Los Cucos.
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: Okay, that's a good difference. Yes. Yes, Los Cucos has
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: a great green salsa. It's not the same as green sauce.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about.
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: It's not the same. Josh, I believe you said La
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: Famiglia had the best green sauce, and he seconds that.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: It's solid. Sometimes it's got that film of oil on
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: top of it. Yeah, that's what you're looking for. That
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: jalapeno oil.
• 38:30
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: Am I the only person that has love for the end?
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: But when I say Coco Loco, I'm talking about there's
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: two of them. They're talking about Coco Loco on William
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: Joel in front of that sketchy motel. Yeah. And then
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: Coco Loco over by console. Those are the Coco Loco.
• 38:47
  Speaker 10: So that's the one that's that's in the old.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Used to be where I would sneak away from South
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Knoll and buy my cabbage patch and my garbage pail kit.
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's the one, dog.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: That one's good. That one's good.
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: That green sauce.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: But the whole confusion and the Coco Locos, because everything's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: got a Coco Loco in it.
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: Now there's blends and whatever.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: But whatever it is. The La Familia, which is in.
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: I don't hate any of them, by the way.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: In the hotel there. What is the hotel they've rebranded?
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: Oh, the one on.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: On the access road between Pinon and Ponderosa.
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: I don't know what they call it, but again, I
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: think you're always in good shape if you're getting Tex-Mex
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: that's attached to or in proximity to a really small... hotel.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: That hotel's no longer sus. That's a nice one. It
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: was previously sus.
• 39:35
  Speaker 10: WTAW, you are on the radio, hopefully, we think. What
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: do you have for us today?
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: Man, so I was going to tell you, you need
• 39:44
  Speaker 11: to specify you need a pureed hotel.
• 39:46
  Speaker 10: Green hot sauce. Okay, so how would you lay it
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: out to make sure that everyone knows what you're talking
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: about when you say green sauce? How would you explain
• 39:56
  Speaker 10: it to someone? Well, my grandma owned a Mexican restaurant
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: my whole life. Oh, nice.
• 40:02
  Speaker 28: Yeah, and so it was definitely pureed, not a pico, right?
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: Not whole vegetables in it that you could see cut up.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: No chunks.
• 40:10
  Speaker 28: Pureed.
• 40:11
  Speaker 10: That's her salsa verde.
• 40:13
  Speaker 11: That's.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: That's what she was talking about. The salsa verde.
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: She pureed salsa verde. I like that. No chunks. Does
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: this have chunks? Can I see what used to be
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: a tomato?
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to call that a salsa if it's got chunks.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: And a sauce.
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: If it does not.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: A sauce to me would be pureed soft, right?
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: No chunks.
• 40:36
  Speaker 10: That's where I'm getting. I love it. Brother, thank you
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: so much.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Robert reminds us in our old age of forgetfulness that, yes,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: that is Hotel McCoy. I can picture the sign. I
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: just couldn't come up with the name. And yeah, it is.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: That thing went from sus to not sus. It's kind
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: of a hip little boutique hotel.
• 40:52
  Speaker 24: Boutique hotel.
• 40:53
  Speaker 10: That's what, and again, like I like that because you
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: don't really see many places that are like that. So
• 40:57
  Speaker 10: if you zhuzh it up, like that's actually kind of
• 41:00
  Speaker 10: an experience. I'm talking about, which is why I'm partial
• 41:04
  Speaker 10: to the, what's why I'm partial to the Coco Loco
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: down off of like Texas near William Joel's because they're
• 41:12
  Speaker 10: close-ish to William Joel. That's a.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's... I have a theory, and I'm sure I'm
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: not the only one.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Suspicious.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: That when it comes to Mexican restaurants and barbecue joints,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: the worse they look from the outside.
• 41:27
  Speaker 10: Yeah, brutal.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: The better chances are that you have to have an
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: amazing dish on the inside.
• 41:32
  Speaker 10: I want to feel like that building could come down
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: around me at any moment.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: And if that's the case, I'm going to get a
• 41:37
  Speaker 10: good plate. Johnny, Los Cucos, home of the shrimp stuffed
• 41:41
  Speaker 10: avocado heart emojis. That you can dip into their green salsa. Again, those, yeah.
• 41:47
  Speaker 10: Cuco's has got its own thing.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does.
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: I did, yeah. We're getting hung up on semantics here,
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: I feel. We've got to take a break. We'll be
• 41:55
  Speaker 10: back right after this.
• 41:56
  Speaker 28: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 41:59
  Speaker 28: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs

• 42:38
  Speaker 28: Call me crazy, but I think moms and dads should
• 42:41
  Speaker 28: be mean. Now, let me clarify right from the start
• 42:44
  Speaker 28: that when I say mean, I'm absolutely not saying that
• 42:48
  Speaker 28: parents should be abusive or hurtful in any way. That said,
• 42:52
  Speaker 28: a lot of parents are just too nice. They don't
• 42:54
  Speaker 28: expect anything from their children or allow them to feel
• 42:57
  Speaker 28: discomfort in any way. There are no chores to do,
• 43:01
  Speaker 28: no bedtimes to worry about, no difficulties to learn how
• 43:04
  Speaker 28: to overcome. The truth is, in the long run, Nice
• 43:08
  Speaker 28: parenting isn't nice at all. It leaves children unprepared for life,
• 43:13
  Speaker 28: and they won't step into adulthood equipped to handle the
• 43:16
  Speaker 28: pressures they're going to face. In the same way, mean
• 43:20
  Speaker 28: parenting really isn't mean. It's a gesture of love. A
• 43:24
  Speaker 28: mean parent is what your children will likely call you
• 43:26
  Speaker 28: when you set healthy boundaries. They'll think you're mean when
• 43:30
  Speaker 28: you expect them to work around the house or to
• 43:32
  Speaker 28: be responsible for their schoolwork. They'll say you're mean when
• 43:35
  Speaker 28: you let them suffer the consequences of their own mistakes.
• 43:39
  Speaker 28: You'll be mean when you limit your children's screen time
• 43:42
  Speaker 28: or ruin their Friday night by grounding them for disrespectful behavior.
• 43:47
  Speaker 28: Like taking a bath or eating vegetables, children often don't
• 43:50
  Speaker 28: understand when something is good for them. So keep the
• 43:53
  Speaker 28: big picture in mind. To do that, you're going to
• 43:56
  Speaker 28: have to be a little mean. Just remember, equipping your
• 44:00

• 46:10
  Speaker 32: Aggie football team fell in a back-and-forth battle to Alabama,
• 46:13
  Speaker 32: losing 31-20 on Saturday afternoon. The Maroon and White entered
• 46:18
  Speaker 32: halftime tied at 17-17 but were unable to generate momentum
• 46:22
  Speaker 32: needed to pull ahead in the second half. Head coach
• 46:25
  Speaker 32: Mike Elko recapped the game.
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: I think the story on offense obviously is the start,
• 46:30
  Speaker 12: you know, the two turnovers leading directly to seven points,
• 46:33
  Speaker 12: put it together for a little while after that and
• 46:35
  Speaker 12: then just really couldn't get anything going in the second
• 46:38
  Speaker 12: half and then got to a point again where we
• 46:40
  Speaker 12: were down and trying to chase a game and that's not,
• 46:43
  Speaker 12: we're not built to do that and That's on me
• 46:45
  Speaker 12: as a coach. We're not where we need to be
• 46:48
  Speaker 12: at all in that regard. And so defensively, just extremely
• 46:52
  Speaker 12: poor play in the secondary, extremely poor eye discipline, extremely poor,
• 46:56
  Speaker 12: all of it. Too many explosive plays, too many uncontested
• 46:58
  Speaker 12: explosive plays, and so that was the story of the game.
• 47:01
  Speaker 32: Up next, the Aggies stay on the road to continue
• 47:03
  Speaker 32: SEC play and will be facing South Carolina. The game
• 47:07
  Speaker 32: is set for November 7th with an afternoon kickoff. The
• 47:11
  Speaker 32: A & M men's basketball team was edged out by
• 47:13
  Speaker 32: SMU yesterday afternoon in the closing minutes, falling 94-88 in
• 47:18
  Speaker 32: the preseason exhibition at the Moody Coliseum. Some notable stats
• 47:23
  Speaker 32: from the game were the Aggies finished the game shooting
• 47:25
  Speaker 32: 80% from the free throw line, and the defense recorded
• 47:29
  Speaker 32: 16 steals, forced 20 SMU turnovers, and blocked five shots.
• 47:34
  Speaker 32: Next up, the Maroon and White will be hosting Alabama
• 47:37
  Speaker 32: State at Reed Arena on November 3rd. Tip-off for next
• 47:40
  Speaker 32: Tuesday's game is set for 7 o'clock, and you can
• 47:42
  Speaker 32: listen to the game on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie volleyball team
• 47:49
  Speaker 32: won the 2025 national title rematch after sweeping Kentucky 3-0
• 47:53
  Speaker 32: yesterday afternoon. Head coach Jamie Morrison recapped the game.
• 47:58
  Speaker 27: It means a lot, and it's not necessarily about the win.
• 48:00
  Speaker 27: It's the way we played volleyball and the way that
• 48:02
  Speaker 27: we stayed composed, we stayed steady, the quality of volleyball
• 48:04
  Speaker 27: that we played. We did it for an hour and
• 48:06
  Speaker 27: a half, and that's what we need to do more of.
• 48:08
  Speaker 27: I think it was exactly what it was. It was
• 48:10
  Speaker 27: like a 4-0 lead from the very beginning, and then
• 48:12
  Speaker 27: we just kept pouring on and kept putting pressure on.
• 48:14
  Speaker 27: And that's one of the things we talk about a
• 48:15
  Speaker 27: lot is how much pressure can we give and how
• 48:17
  Speaker 27: long can we sustain it. And I thought that, and
• 48:19
  Speaker 27: I said that afterwards to the team. It wasn't necessarily
• 48:21
  Speaker 27: one player, one spectacular highlight. It was just consistently good
• 48:24
  Speaker 27: volleyball that was hard to keep up with.
• 48:26
  Speaker 32: Up next, the Ags return to Reed Arena to host
• 48:28
  Speaker 32: Tennessee on Friday night with first serve set for 6-30.
• 48:32

• 51:11
  Speaker 22: Rules.
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: Rules.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I thought Halloween is where you threw out all the rules.
• 51:16
  Speaker 10: Trick or treat. That's the only rule you need.
• 51:19
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: It's a simple question, really.
• 51:21
  Speaker 10: You get to pick. You get to pick. What's it
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: going to be? No, no, no. There's extra rules. There's
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: seven that everyone should apparently follow. The rules of Halloween.
• 51:31
  Speaker 10: The Halloween commandments. Possibly. Don't guess what someone's costume is
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: unless you know. Oh, boy. You might offend them. So
• 51:41
  Speaker 10: if you're not sure, just ask. Have you ever judged
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: a costume contest? This happens a lot with kids because
• 51:46
  Speaker 10: the characters, they dress up as chains. So you think
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: it's one thing and it's another, and then it gets weird.
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: That's another thing I would ever take offense to. Yeah.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Halloween is ruined. You didn't guess what my costume was.
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: Don't bring bloody decorations into the office. If you decorate
• 52:02
  Speaker 10: your desk, try to keep it not looking like a
• 52:04
  Speaker 10: murder scene because not everyone likes gore. That's true. That's
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: not bad. Don't wear an offensive costume. Even if it's
• 52:10
  Speaker 10: a joke, it's risky.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, kind of like, well, what's his name? Leslie, the
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: homeless guy that I was at Halloween with.
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: That's a bad, bad idea.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he went as Osama bin Laden. Yeah, bad idea.
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: Let's see. Remember, nothing is private anymore. So if you
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: do go with an offensive costume, you don't get to
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: act shocked when.
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: Someone posts photos of it and, you know.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're looking for attention if you're wearing
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: something offensive. You might get it and you may not
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: enjoy it.
• 52:40
  Speaker 10: Just know what you are signing up for. That's all
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: we are saying. Teach your kids to be polite trick-or-treaters.
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: Make sure they say thank you every time, even if
• 52:49
  Speaker 10: it's candy they don't like.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Well, that's when you get the candy from the bonus
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: jar from me. Right?
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you gets you.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple extras.
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: If you do choose to offer allergy-safe treats, non-food options,
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: you can use a teal-colored pumpkin. Yeah, the teal pumpkin thing, man.
• 53:07
  Speaker 10: People love that. I didn't know about the teal pumpkin.
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: It tells you you've got options if your kid is...
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: It has sensitivities, which is a beautiful thing. Be classy
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: with your outdoor decorations. If you've got younger trick-or-treaters, don't
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: go overboard with anything that would legitimately give them nightmares.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: No, you should.
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: You should.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: You want to, because these children are going to see
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: things later in life that are going to give them PTSD.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: So essentially, you're conditioning them for it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: You've got to start somewhere. Halloween's a great place to start,
• 53:38
  Speaker 10: by the way. Also, I should mention that candy sales
• 53:42
  Speaker 10: are dramatically down this year.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 53:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, like 10% down over last year. It's bad. Partially because, again,
• 53:50
  Speaker 10: so stinking expensive. But that is leading people to believe
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: that this might be the year of the homemade treat.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, those were a thing for a while, but then
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: everybody's like, no, you can't eat the homemade stuff.
• 54:03
  Speaker 10: What do you think about the idea of Homemade treats.
• 54:07
  Speaker 10: If you're walking with your kid through the neighborhood and
• 54:10
  Speaker 10: someone hands them a nice fudge bar.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: If it's your neighborhood and it's a close neighborhood and
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: you know everybody.
• 54:18
  Speaker 10: And you know it's Granny Jones, three houses down. You
• 54:22
  Speaker 10: might be like, ah, yeah.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: But that sort of neighborhood, it doesn't exist much anymore.
• 54:27
  Speaker 10: So you'd be hesitant.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I would be hesitant these days. I would also probably
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: try it, and if it was delicious, I would just
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: take it. In the interest of safety for my children,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: I would eat it.
• 54:41
  Speaker 10: You know, that's always a great idea. You know, just
• 54:44
  Speaker 10: I'll do the taste. I mean, I've done that with
• 54:45
  Speaker 10: the Reese's peanut butter cups over the years. I always
• 54:47
  Speaker 10: would like it. Does anyone when I was when I
• 54:50
  Speaker 10: was a kid, we used to have it. I say
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: it was 50 50, but there were about there probably
• 54:55
  Speaker 10: five or six houses when I was growing up that
• 54:58
  Speaker 10: would give you something homemade like caramel apple or popcorn
• 55:04
  Speaker 10: balls were always very popular with a few Grice Krispies
• 55:08
  Speaker 10: treats I got from time to time. I got all
• 55:11
  Speaker 10: of that stuff. And I never thought, I never thought
• 55:15
  Speaker 10: twice about it.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Well, that was, I'm surprised. I'm actually surprised because my
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: parents started thinking about that Had to be in the
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: late 70s. Really?
• 55:25
  Speaker 10: Thinking about the safety of such and whatnot. Yeah, no,
• 55:28
  Speaker 10: they just let me go, man. I mean, they're little ladies.
• 55:31
  Speaker 10: I mean, probably, you know, it's like... If you know
• 55:35
  Speaker 10: where it's coming from, that's one thing. If you're just
• 55:38
  Speaker 10: in a random neighborhood, no. Christine, by the way, says
• 55:41
  Speaker 10: $ 6 for 22 snack-sized Kit Kats currently. is one price
• 55:47
  Speaker 10: that she has seen. That seems high to me, Christine.
• 55:50
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's not, like, crazy high, but, like, it's, again,
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: 22 units for $ 6.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: And those are smaller units, and there's less of them?
• 55:58
  Speaker 10: You know, like, does that not seem.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: It does. But you've got to do it for the kids.
• 56:05
  Speaker 10: No, you don't get to opt out. Again, I think
• 56:08
  Speaker 10: it is.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: I never thought about it, but I almost wish I
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: was in a neighborhood now because when they say trick
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: or treat, I might just throw out trick just to
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: see if they're ready.
• 56:16
  Speaker 10: What do you got? You don't say it if you're
• 56:20
  Speaker 10: not going to. Right, you've got to be prepared. I'm interested.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think kids prepare for the trick anymore. I
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: don't know, man.
• 56:28
  Speaker 10: I'm always, you never know what they're capable of. That's
• 56:31
  Speaker 10: the problem.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, you've got to selectively do it.
• 56:34
  Speaker 10: They send an AI bot to steal your identity.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: The kindergarten, the elementary kids, yeah, you can ask for
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: the trick. Those high school kids, you may not want
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: to ask for that.
• 56:43
  Speaker 10: Those kids get smart real quick. You put a brick
• 56:46
  Speaker 10: through your window real quick. Real quick. Yeah, good morning, guys.
