• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Good morning, friends. Thank you for being here. It's Tuesday.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Let's get started. All right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Here it is.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, let's do some updates. Where do
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: you think we stand on this? Because I am.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: All over the road, based on the data that is
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: in front of me.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Based on what I've read this morning, we are going
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to expect a landfall somewhere in the neighborhood of Sabine Pass.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It did not strengthen overnight, although all the ingredients are
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: there for it to strengthen in the next 8 to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: 12 hours before landfall.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I'm going to credit some sources on this, because I
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: believe in naming and shaming.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And naming and crediting. I'm naming and crediting the eye wall.
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Now, this is the Kron. Chronicle. Houston Chronicle. I saw
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: a could strengthen to actually, I think it was the Chronicle.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Don't hold me to that. Sorry if I got it wrong.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: It's okay. Sorry, fellas. The Chronicle needs some abuse.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Every now and then. They love to abuse me. Now,
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: with that said, yeah, they're like, it could strengthen to
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: a hurricane this morning, which I found interesting. I don't
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: know if it could get to her.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: With the amount of time it has left over water,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: probably not.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: That seems like a tall order.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Tropical storm, possible. However, it's going to dissipate very quickly
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: after it makes landfall. The expected location by tomorrow for
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the center of whatever circulation is left, somewhere between Huntsville
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and Madisonville, And we will be on the dry side
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the problem. I really need it to tick.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Huntsville, Madisonville, two to three, four inches. Us, quarter inch
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to half an inch.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Quarter inch. Okay, so now I read. So that's the
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: totality of the will data. Let's read some of this
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: data over here. Tonight, the weather forecast I'm looking at
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: calls for about a quarter of an inch of rain tonight.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: About a 60% chance. About an inch tomorrow. About a
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: 70% chance of that. And then possibly another half inch,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: you know, from Wednesday night into Thursday, which would give us,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you know, close to, I mean, my math is not great,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: but a couple of inches. We're all over the road here.
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: We're all over the road here.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Which is typical with a tropical system. You just never
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: really know what's going to happen. I'm just praying for
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the rain that we so desperately need and God willing,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: some cooler temperatures.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Well, you're going to get, well, again, now I'm going to,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: once again, name the weather app on my phone, which
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: is an iPhone. That's a fantastic reaction. Today, high of 93.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Wednesday, 89.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Thursday, 85.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Degrees if thursday is 85 i'm gonna have to smoke
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a cigar.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: So i had to go and double check this back
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: to this other weather forecast today 96 all right playing
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: ball playing ball wednesday 90 we're close we're close thursday
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: 93 we're at a 10 degree we're 10 degrees off
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: We are 10 degrees off between forecasts.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Ain't nobody know which way to guess.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Guys, and again, I think we talked about this, maybe
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: it was last week, about the theory that we don't
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: know how to predict the weather anymore because of balloons.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: That's not it. Guys, I don't. I find that a
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: little hard to believe. I don't think we've ever really
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: known how to predict the weather.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: No, we haven't.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I don't think we've ever been great at it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You can predict probabilities.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You cannot predict the weather. You can predict the probabilities
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: of weather.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Are you saying that we never had jokes about
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: the weatherman being wrong prior to 2026? I don't think so.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I made a couple.
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I feel like those are fairly, you know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: They've been around as long as weathermen.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: It's not really breaking new material there. So, yeah, today,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: at least, we're a pretty decent chance maybe you'll get
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: some showers. I almost had one last night.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was one that kind of popped up that
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: flew towards us that was... The dome laughed it off. Yeah,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: the dome is going to fight this thing tooth and nail.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Let's be real. That's what we're talking about. The dome
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: is going to fight this thing tooth and nail. Expect nothing.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Set your expectations at the floor, and if it rains,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: then you'll be happy. Don't plan for anything. If it rains,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: it'll be happy. Weather, brought to you by Malik's Service

  Speaker 1: What the hell?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Emma M. Nutt Day.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Well, we're going to learn something today. Back in September 1st, 1878,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Emma Mills Nutt became the world's first female telephone operator.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Really? That was a man job. It was a.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Man job because it was 1878. Everything was a man job.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just wondering how bad was it that the men
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: suddenly decided, you know what? This sucks. Let's let the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: chicks do it.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Well, see, this is this is where it gets interesting.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: She was recruited directly by Alexander Graham Bell. He went
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: and found her and said, I need you, Emma. Come
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: and work for me and be a telephone operator. And
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: the and the question that this raises, like you said, will.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Well, as it turns out, before that, telephone operators were
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: mostly teenage boys. How about that? How do you think
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: that went?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Not well.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: It was terrible.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I'm certain that no teenage boy that has the opportunity
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to listen in on a telephone call would ever do that.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Reportedly impatient, rude, prone to swearing, and playing jokes on customers.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Some things just never change.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: They really don't. If you think about it, that means
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: since the beginnings Of the telephone. You had teenage boys
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: making prank calls.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Now this time they were just doing it on the clock.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: So he hires Emma M.
• 14:22
  Speaker 14: Nutt.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: And she was fantastic. She killed it. After that, it
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: became something that every phone company looked at. Like, wait
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: a minute. Maybe we should just start hiring women for this.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Because we're all having the same problem. The men are, again,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: absolute garbage at this job. If not actively, actively making
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: it worse. And yeah, she stayed in the profession for
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: 35 years. Her sister, Stella, also became a career phone operator.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: And this trend lasted almost as long as operators did.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Do you recall operators? I recall operators. I do.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: And they were overwhelmingly female.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I don't remember a man. I'm sure it happened.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the exception to the rule. This lasted
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: for 100 years. And all because Emma M. Nutt was
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: pretty good at being a phone operator. That's how it began.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And old Alex, Alex Mr. Bell there said, you know what?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You're my shining star.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: You're my girl. Ginger cat appreciation day.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I thought about you earlier. I ran and got some
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: breakfast before the show. It's not a ginger cat, but
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: it's a black cat hanging out around the dumpster.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: At the dumpster?
• 15:35
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I'll take care of that.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I figured you might.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I think I got some food in the car.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: You know, the fact that you're not carrying it with
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you right now is kind of shocking.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Maybe a carrier.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: A little Traps fan release. We'll see.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Not all orange cats are male. That is a common misconception.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: About 20% of them are female. But yeah, the majority
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: of them are because the orange coloration... genes located on
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: the X chromosome. Kind of fascinating. This is just made up.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Acne positivity day.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Wear that pimple with pride.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: The observance pushes back against the idea that acne is
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: something people should be embarrassed about or desperately hide. Like
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: you said, wear it with pride, Will.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I think they're just trying to, you know, squeeze something
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: out of a day.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Burnt ends day. A day to celebrate what is arguably
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: the best part of the count.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I have had Burnt ends so good that my knees
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: have buckled.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: If you've had, yeah, if you've had someone do them,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: that's like a legendary.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, Truth. My first burnt end was at Truth Barbecue.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Truth is, yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And literally, my knees got weak.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Not going to be able to beat that one. Yeah,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: National Burnt Ends Day. Actually, this part of it was
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: founded in Kansas City where they realized the burnt ends
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: were pretty spectacular. Started giving them away as promo. Now
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: they're about $ 22 for a sample. Just kind of the
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: way it goes. All right. Let's move on. Oh, no.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: I almost forgot. No Rhyme or Reason Day. You aware
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: of this one?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I am not aware of this one.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: This is the dumbest thing. It celebrates the phrase no
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: rhyme or reason and has been taken as an observance
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: of Of words that have no rhyme. Okay. So for instance.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It's a stretch, but I can see it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: See, I know orange.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I know nothing rhymes with orange, right?
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: Purple.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Nothing rhymes with purple. I didn't realize there's a whole
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: list of these.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Silver.
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: Hmm.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Could you think of anything that rhymes with silver?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously the internet can't, so I can't.
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: Months.
• 17:47
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: We could keep going on this. It just starts to
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: hurt your brain.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: After a while. I was about to say, my head
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: just started hurting.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: What do we have on birthdays?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Birthdays, Zendaya is 30. She's married to Tom Holland, or
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: they're together, engaged, or something? They're married, dude. They're married, right? Yeah,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they're married. Man, what a family paycheck they got this summer.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: They have made more money this summer than you will
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: ever see in a hundred lifetimes.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I think they could retire comfortably at this point.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: They, well... They could have before this summer, too. That's
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: the fun part. But yeah, they're having a lot of fun. Sure,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: let's make more. Ricardo Chavarria is 55.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Gabby's husband, Carlos, on Desperate Housewives. Ah, yes. Gloria Estefan
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is 69. The Miami Sound Machine. Oh, yeah. Can you
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: feel the conga and everything? The rhythm could get you.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Billy Blanks is 71. You remember Tybo?
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I never got into it, but I remember the sensations.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: It was a sensation more than it was a real thing.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: And it was one of those, it was back in
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: the day where people would buy the DVDs of things.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, the VHS. I'm sure that was VHS, yeah.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: It was a whole deal, and yeah, people lost their
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: mind over the idea that you kind of kickbox your
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: way to health. Maybe it worked. Who knows? Didn't try it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Movement is movement.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: True.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Dr. Phil is 76 years old today.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Doesn't look it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: No, he's doing all right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Still looks great.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Barry Gibb, the last beachy standing, is 80 years old today.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: They had a documentary a few years ago that was fantastic.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: It's really good. It will make you very sad for Barry.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: It's just him hanging out. And again, worse places to
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: hang out than a palace in Miami. But by the end,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: you're just like, yeah, dude, it's kind of sad. You're
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: just the last dude. And it was a band of
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: his brothers. So he's just kind of hanging out, and
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: they're all gone.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Lily Tomlin is 87 years old today.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Holy cow.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz is 88. He was OJ's lawyer, one of them.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: He's a human.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Are you sure?
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: That is very debatable.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the stiffs, shall we? Conway Twitty was
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: born on this date in 1933.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Legend.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Boxcar Willie, born on this date in 1931. A country
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: legend sang the Wabash Cannonball. Yvonne DiCarlo was born on
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: this date in 1922. She was the OG Lily Munster back.

  Speaker 13: In the day.
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Rocky Maciano, born on this date in 1923.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: The boxing legend. And here you go, Tucker, born on
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: this date in 1961. Bam Bam Bigelow.
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: Oh.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: The former WWF star.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: One of the first dudes I ever saw with a
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: head scalp tattoo.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: That was before. It's still a pretty big statement today.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: You make a face or a head tattoo. Holy moly.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Remember when you lost at WrestleMania 11 to Lawrence Taylor?
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: I certainly do, Will.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: You think that was rigged? I mean, you know. I'm sorry.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, wrestlers. I didn't say rigged.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: You didn't say the F word. I didn't say the
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: F word. The F word is what they don't like.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Rigged is slightly more acceptable. Good morning, everyone. Back after this.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Hello, Brazos Valley. This is Brandon Eisman with Dean and
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: At Dean and Draper Insurance, we can't promise to solve
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: the inflation problem, but we can shop several high-quality insurance
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: companies to provide you with a competitive solution tailored to
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: your specific needs. So if you're looking for an alternative

• 22:33
  Speaker 14: you paying more than $ 34. 99 a month for unlimited data?
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: I only ask because in a recent industry survey of 120,000
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: wireless customers, PureTalk was the only wireless company out there
• 22:46
  Speaker 14: to receive five stars in every category, coverage, support, value,

  Speaker 4: 1620-945-WTAW, good morning, we're the Infomaniacs. A few disclaimers before
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I drop this forecast on you. This is for a
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: very large listening area, number one. Don't think this means
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: your block and your house, all right? Second of all,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: do not speak. Do not set your expectations high.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Don't do it. Just if you happen, if you get lucky,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: you get lucky. If you don't, you don't. With that said,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. High around 96, 95,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: which is a huge win.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I'll take it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Tonight, about a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms in
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the late night, early morning hours with low in the
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: low 70s, depending on where you are listening. That might
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: be dramatic or it might be nothing.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a narrow path of good rain.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: Like, yeah, one county over, you might have the best
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: morning ever. One county to the left, you might be really,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: really feeling like you got shortchanged on this one. Wednesday.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Thunderstorms and showers before 1 p.m. and then a chance
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: in the afternoon. 70% chance of rain with new rainfall
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: amounts between three quarters and one inch possible. Again, dependent
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: on where you live here in the Bryan College Station Metro.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: And don't hold out a whole lot of hope for that. Thursday,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: another 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Then by Friday,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: just sunny and a high around 92 degrees, which is
• 24:58

  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. Brazos
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: County Commissioner's Court will host two public hearings this morning.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: The first to discuss the county's $ 482 million budget. The
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: second to discuss the proposed property tax rate of $ 44. 84
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: per $ 100 valuation. If the tax rate is adopted, it
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: will be an increase of 3.43% over the current rate.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: But residents will likely pay less in taxes because the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: median home price in Brazos County has dropped from $ 412, 000
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to $ 340, 000. That homeowner would pay about $ 200 less for
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the year. Regular session is scheduled to begin at 10
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: o'clock where the court is expected to adopt the budget
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and tax rate. A review of arrest records from Friday
• 29:57

• 30:18
  Speaker 1: some much-needed rainfall. The storm is expected to weaken before
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: it makes its way through our area passing mostly to
• 30:25

  Speaker 1: several new state laws will be taking effect, including one

  Speaker 1: our own handiwork.
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: A new right to repair law requires electronics manufacturers to

  Speaker 16: make parts and tools more readily available to providers to
• 30:56

• 30:59
  Speaker 16: things fixed. Solar panel companies and employees are required to
• 31:02
  Speaker 16: register with the state of Texas and will be punished
• 31:05
  Speaker 16: for any deceptive sales claims. As well, certain gold and
• 31:09
  Speaker 16: silver bullion will be registered as legal tender, therefore able
• 31:12
  Speaker 16: to be used as a form of payment. However, businesses
• 31:15
  Speaker 16: and people are not obligated to accept it. Other Texas
• 31:19
  Speaker 16: laws going in effect include an expansion of counties classified

  Speaker 1: Police found 18-year-old Cole Brawley passed out on the couch.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Officers say Brawley was so intoxicated that they had to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: perform several sternal rubs to get his attention. He claimed
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: he thought he was at a friend's apartment, but none
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: of the women knew the man or had given him
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: permission to be inside their apartment. Brawley was arrested and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: charged with criminal trespass of a habitation. During the arrest,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: he was found to be in possession of a nicotine

• 35:46
  Speaker 4: 1620, 94.5 WTAW speed version. Pretty decent chance of rain today.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Not bad. Comparatively decent chance of rain. 30, 40 percent
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: getting up to the mid-90s. Tonight down to the 70s.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Much better chance of rain as the storm blows through,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: whatever it may be at the time. And then good chance,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: best chance of rain really coming tomorrow and then a
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: little bit on Thursday.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Best chances of rain we've seen in a while.
• 36:11
  Speaker 14: Long time.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Temperatures are going to be a little lower. You don't
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: need to worry about Edward unless you're driving east.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: No, no, no. And if you are driving east, you're
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: going to Houston. Take a look later on today. It's
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: not going to be hard to find information.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: You mentioned that Pasadena was canceling school?
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Pasadena and a few other districts in Houston are canceling
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: in the Houston area. I need to say not Houston ISD,
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: but the Houston area. There are several that have already
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: canceled school for today and tomorrow. I just think they
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: do that instinctively now.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I think so, because this is not that big of
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: a deal.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: No, if someone sneezes in the city of Houston, it
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: floods at this point. Like, it's gotten to that level.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Man, you've got to dodge the bodies coming out of
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: the bayou when that happens.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: That's... Sorry.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Nobody talks about there's like 600 bodies.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I just got that scene from Poltergeist going through my head,
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: and I cannot say it is inaccurate. But yeah, for
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: here in the Brazos Valley, eastern parts of the listening area,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: far better chance you're going to get some serious rain totals.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: Bryan College Station, Metro, a little bit. West, parts west,
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: you're not even going to notice it. It's just going
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: to go right by you. But you will notice the
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: drop in temperatures, which is a win on its own.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Weather is brought to you by Malik's Service Company and
• 37:24

• 37:53
  Speaker 4: some of the little symbols of peace flying around are
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: gonna get gots yep because it's dove season season has
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: opened up uh going going hunting this saturday as a
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: matter of fact although although As it happens every year,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: some sort of tropical system comes through and pushes the birds.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Out of wherever I'm hunting.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: That is fairly common.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems to happen. So at any rate, I'm
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: going to be hanging out with some guys. There's going
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to be some guns. It's going to be fun.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a great way to spend a weekend,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: no doubt.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Very jealous. Yeah, and there's rain chances on Saturday when
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: we're hunting, which is bound to happen because with this
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: particular group of guys, the last time we all went
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: hunting together... We were down in Brownsville, and every single
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: vehicle we took got stuck. So here we go. You know,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: it's really crazy. In conjunction, I saw this story the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: other day, and it was a week or so ago,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: maybe even two. And I thought to myself when it
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: came out. Could this be the stupidest thing ever?
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: So it's a jet suit racing company out of Great
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Britain is partnered with a ranch here in Texas.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Wait, a jet suit racing? A jet suit racing company.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I know it sounds far-fetched, and I had to go
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: to their website because I wanted to make sure that
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: they weren't launching that like this week. Because if you
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: throw some guys up in the skies with some jet
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: suits and you get a bunch of bubba's out there
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: with some shotguns, And a couple of coolers full of beer.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: That seems like you are asking for problems.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's problems. There's always been problems with like
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: people accidentally shooting like racing pigeons and things like that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: What about a jet suit racer?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: So.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine these things are quiet.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about, I mean, the ones that
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I grew up seeing on TV were like, you know,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: you saw in the $ 6 million man.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: The Rocketeer, that movie Disney did back in the 90s.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: To me, they never looked anything close to safe. I mean,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: best case scenario, you're going to fry your Achilles with
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a jet wash. I don't know.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: That's a horrible idea.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to strap a big, hot, flaming ball of
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Thing with jet fuel in it on my back. That's
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a great idea.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Robinson Ranch in Central Texas.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: That is the location.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: That's the place.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Will serve as a collaborative site to introduce competitive jet
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: suit racing to American audiences. By the way, each suit
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: costs somewhere between $ 440, 000 and $ 500, 000 per. Well, I mean.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: If you look at that and compare it to other
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: types of racing... I mean, a NASCAR is millions, you know?
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: But they ain't strapping a NASCAR to some dude in
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: a straw hat, which they are in this video.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute. You might want to
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: rethink that. Oh, son of a biscuit.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, I did not mean to demean.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: They ain't strapping a NASCAR to some guy in a
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: straw hat. I did not mean to demean.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: The great Richard Petty or any of the other legends.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Other guys that were running moonshine.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Kempner, Texas. And yeah, they're going to try to make
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: this similar.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: To, This car.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: How would you possibly? The crashes are going to be
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: so much worse.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: We had a great day in the number 47 Valvoline
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: jetpack today. Pit crew did a great job. Crew chief just,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: you know, knocked it out of the park. Want to
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: thank Procter & Gamble and Marlboro Ranch.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: This is something to watch.
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, if it comes to fruition, I want to
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: watch it.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Take my money.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: And if you combine it with dove season, I'm in.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Back after this.
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: Hi, this is Neal Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 41:20

• 41:56
  Speaker 8: The beginning of the school year brings a lot of
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: new Texans to our borders. Word is it's harder to
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: garden here than it is in the north or the east,
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: but that's not exactly true. All that gardening in Texas
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: involves is a readjustment of thinking. Whether you're a brand
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: new Texas gardener or an old timer who's gardened here
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: for years, it's always good to step back and look
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: at the true facts. The basics in Texas gardening right
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: after this message. Avid gardeners know that when it comes
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: to planting success, it's all about the roots. If you
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: want a healthy, well-established plant, It has to have a
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: great root system from the start. Fertilome Root Stimulator and
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: Plant Starter Solution is a liquid fertilizer that means immediate
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: uptake by the roots and it has a growth hormone
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: to help your plants become established quickly. Stronger roots mean
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: more resistance to summer heat and drought and insect and
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: disease problems challenges. Apply it every two weeks following planting.
• 42:51

  Speaker 8: Root Stimulator and Plant Starter Solution. Made in Texas for
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: Texas plants. If we're going to talk about basics in
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: Texas gardening, let's begin by addressing our growing season. Texas
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: is blessed with warm weather. For seven or eight months,
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: about all you see is sunshine. Don't be confused, however,
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: into the assumption that you'll have an eight-month growing season
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: for all your flowers and vegetables. In reality, you're given
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: two relatively short growing seasons, spring and fall, separated by
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: a time of extremely hot weather when the plants essentially
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: go dormant. That's why it's so very critical that we
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: all invest time and space in a fall vegetable garden.
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: And that's why so many plants do better in the
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: fall if they're planted in July or August and allowed
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: to mature in fall's cooler weather. Stick with adapted plants.
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: If you're from somewhere else, whether it's from another part
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: of the country or just from another part of this
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: great and diverse state, stick with the plants that grow
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: well in your new home. Native plants are fine as
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: long as they're adapted. No matter where you live in Texas,
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: you'll find at least 200 varieties of shrubs and 40
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: or 50 types of trees that are willing and eager
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: to prove their worth in your plantings. Some of these
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: will be native, others won't. It's silly to invest time
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: and effort in plants that won't be so cooperative. Have
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: your soils tested. Texas is not blessed with outstanding soils,
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: and so you want to have a soil test run
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: on your flower beds and vegetable gardens, and then another
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: soil test run on your landscape beds and turf grass
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: about every two or three years. Interestingly, Interstate 35 becomes
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: a dividing line in many respects. East of I-35, most
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: of the soils will be acidic or neutral. West of I-35,
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: you need to expect alkaline soils with shallow, rocky outcroppings.
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: You'll see more fungal diseases the farther east of I-35
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: you go. You'll see more iron deficiency the farther west
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: you go. Although there will be exceptions, a couple of
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: rules of green thumb. You lose an inch of rainfall
• 45:14
  Speaker 8: on average for about every 17 miles you go west
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: in Texas, and you gain or lose one week of
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: the growing season at each end of the growing season
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: for each 100 miles you go south or north in
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: the state. Texas is a great state, but it can
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: also be confusing. The best thing you can do is
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: to practice and keep paying attention, keep a log of
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: what you do, what works and what doesn't, when it
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: worked and when it didn't, and talk to an independent

  Speaker 19: on 1620-945-WTAW. Game week is officially here for Aggie football
• 47:26
  Speaker 19: and with the anticipation of the start of the season,
• 47:29
  Speaker 19: head coach Mike Elko met with the media to talk
• 47:31
  Speaker 19: about everything happening with Aggie football this week.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Let's just start with things going on in and around
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: the program. Really excited for the R.C. Slocum statue reveal.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: That'll be Friday at 2 o'clock. Really, really unbelievable accomplishment
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: for a guy who is the winningest head football coach
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: in Texas A & M history. Want to say congratulations
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: to the 32 Aggies who made football rosters yesterday. What
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: a great accomplishment for those guys yesterday. And then from
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: our perspective, it's finally game week. You know, finally we
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: get to stop talking. Finally we get to stop talking
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: about what things can be, what things can be about.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: And we get to run out of the tunnel and
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: go play somebody else. And it's beyond past the time
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: to go do that. Our kids are really excited and
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: fired up for it. opportunity to take on a Missouri
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: State team who recently made the jump to Conference USA
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: and really is one of the hotter athletic departments in
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: the country when you look at some of the things
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: they accomplished last year, football being a bowl team in
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: their first year in Division I. I just think this
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: is a program that's really, really on the rise.
• 48:36
  Speaker 19: Coach Elko also spoke about the Aggies' preparation ahead of
• 48:39
  Speaker 19: their matchup against Missouri State and what they know about
• 48:42
  Speaker 19: the Bears.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: They've got a really talented quarterback that came over from
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: UTEP that started seven games who's got the ability to
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: hurt you with his arms and with his legs and
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: came with the offensive coordinator. He's going to be familiar
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: with the offensive style and what they're trying to do.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: They've got a slot receiver who is their leading receiver
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: from last year who's really, really talented. They've got a big, tall,
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: athletic tight end. who will be a matchup issue in
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: the past game. I think that's what you know. And
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: then from there, it's a lot of transfers and trying
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: to piece together who's going to go out there, what
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: they're going to look like. in the new system in
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: a new program.
• 49:22
  Speaker 19: Kickoff for the A & M versus Missouri State game
• 49:24
  Speaker 19: is set for six o'clock on Saturday night at Kyle Field.
• 49:29

• 49:40
  Speaker 19: 21 Indiana today and Wednesday, with both games being played
• 49:44
  Speaker 19: at Mackey Arena. Head coach Jamie Morrison spoke about the
• 49:47
  Speaker 19: Aggies' three-game win streak heading into the challenge after sweeping
• 49:51
  Speaker 19: the Texas A & M Invitational.
• 49:53
  Speaker 23: I would talk a lot about the core tenets that
• 49:55
  Speaker 23: we hold true, and I thought we did a really
• 49:56
  Speaker 23: good job of that. When we sat down and watched video,
• 49:58
  Speaker 23: I kind of just throw up a smorgasbord of, I
• 50:00
  Speaker 23: don't know, clips that are up there, and 80% of
• 50:03
  Speaker 23: them are pointing out good things.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: So the foundation of it is there.
• 50:09
  Speaker 23: And the comments that we were talking about are making
• 50:12
  Speaker 23: sure that we make improvements. So I'm encouraged by what
• 50:15
  Speaker 23: I'm seeing, by the growth that we have, and I'm
• 50:17
  Speaker 23: looking forward to putting that to the test again.
• 50:19
  Speaker 19: Coach Morrison also shared thoughts on Purdue and Indiana ahead
• 50:23
  Speaker 19: of the matches.
• 50:24
  Speaker 23: Two really good opponents. And I respect both coaches quite
• 50:28
  Speaker 23: a bit. And so playing, I don't know, Purdue and
• 50:33
  Speaker 23: good ball control team, really good blocking team. And again,
• 50:36
  Speaker 23: they're like offense and things change a little bit depending
• 50:38
  Speaker 23: on what happens with their opposite if she's.
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: In or out.
• 50:40
  Speaker 23: Then we play Indiana who had a really good season
• 50:42
  Speaker 23: last season and can run a really fast offense and
• 50:44
  Speaker 23: cause some trouble in their own way. So watched a
• 50:47
  Speaker 23: little bit of video on both. We're going to get
• 50:48
  Speaker 23: the attackers here once I get done with this meeting.
• 50:50
  Speaker 23: So I have that piece done.
• 50:51
  Speaker 19: The Aggies game against Purdue begins tonight at 7 o'clock

  Speaker 4: 60% chance of rain down to the 70s. Tomorrow, 70%

  Speaker 4: lot of experience with Arkansas.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, nine years worth.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: Arkansas River? Pretty good time.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Arkansas River, though, you've got to remember, is
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: not necessarily just in Arkansas.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, good point.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: The Arkansas River runs from Colorado all the way into
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: the Mississippi.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: You know what? I wonder where this is. I need
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: to take a look at this.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: I know exactly where it is because I read that
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: story this morning.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: Tell me about it. Where is this happening?
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Pueblo, Colorado.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: Pueblo, Colorado. Well, what did they expect? You've been to Pueblo, Colorado?
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: So go ahead and read the story here.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: 4.25 million gallons of sewage. That's the story. Bad pipes.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Four and a quarter million gallons of sewage into the
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Arkansas River.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: Here's the... Just listen.
• 53:38
  Speaker 24: We walked earlier today from the city park all the
• 53:41
  Speaker 24: way to Runyon for a good two-hour walk. And the
• 53:44
  Speaker 24: whole entire time we were walking, you could just smell it.
• 53:46
  Speaker 24: A few times I kept looking at it. I'm like,
• 53:48
  Speaker 24: this doesn't look like our water, you know?
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: And.
• 53:51
  Speaker 24: People have their dogs and stuff, and I'm like, I
• 53:53
  Speaker 24: would not even take anybody near that water. It's disgusting.
• 53:56
  Speaker 24: So just to know that that's going into our water
• 53:58
  Speaker 24: is awful.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: That made so much more sense as soon as you
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: said Pueblo, Colorado.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my point with that was, how could you tell
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: the difference between before and after in Pueblo, Colorado?
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: There's no way.
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: No.
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: Your powers of deduction are very strong. She's very self-aware
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: at that point.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she can notice very slight differences. Yeah.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: I was so sad. I was like, man, poor Arkansas.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: No, Arkansas is still pristine.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, love to see it. Good morning, everyone. It's Tuesday,
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: and yeah, we'll see what we can do about the
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: rain thing. But as is, least you're not in the hundreds.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: That's an improvement. 1620 WTAW College Station, Brian.
