- 5:38Speaker 3: not as not as such. For the rest of the state,
- 5:41Speaker 3: that's uh, that's getting worse by the hour. All of
- 5:44Speaker 3: our thoughts are with everyone south and west obviously.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And blood warnings on the Guadalupe and Hunt and Kerrville
- 5:50Speaker 1: this morning.

- 5:59Speaker 1: that I right or that everybody's everybody's safe. But I
- 6:03Speaker 1: do know that there are ongoing water rescues in the area,
- 6:06Speaker 1: and that there's splash flooding on the Guadalup Bay as
- 6:09Speaker 1: well as down on the Frio and others in Uvalde.

- 12:38Speaker 2: Wow.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Good morning, sixteen twenty ninety four to five WTAW. Just
- 12:44Speaker 3: just taking a nice little trip down the shot menu
- 12:46Speaker 3: at the tap this morning.
- 12:47Speaker 4: No big deal.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Will's telling us about about uh oh, yeah, what you
- 12:51Speaker 3: said you were saying in Nashville.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fifteen dollars shot fifteen dollars show?
- 12:55Speaker 4: Is that a gimmick? Or is it just no dollars?
- 12:58Speaker 4: Get shot? I mean Broadway.
- 13:00Speaker 1: It was this particular bar, and I wish I could
- 13:03Speaker 1: remember the name right, but it was a non typical
- 13:06Speaker 1: bar for Broadway, And so we went in there while
- 13:09Speaker 1: the kids and the wife were boot shopping next door,
- 13:13Speaker 1: and I saw that there was a Pinia Klada shot.
- 13:16Speaker 1: You're on vacation whatever, Dashville. Yeah, whatever, I'll pay fifteen
- 13:20Speaker 1: bucks for a shot. So this giant double Pinia Klada
- 13:23Speaker 1: shot shows up with a jello shot back right?
- 13:29Speaker 4: That is that is? That is the foulst thing I've
- 13:31Speaker 4: ever heard.
- 13:31Speaker 5: I have like a very important question. What colors were
- 13:35Speaker 5: the green and red? Oh? The green ones are?
- 13:40Speaker 4: Well?
- 13:40Speaker 1: These these were of a level that you really weren't
- 13:44Speaker 1: tasting whatever flavor was assigned to the jello.
- 13:48Speaker 4: They you're saying that they were very healthy.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Poor I was wondering what kind of chemist came up
- 13:54Speaker 1: with the ability to solidify that amount of alcohol in
- 13:58Speaker 1: jello suspend it all that was? It was something else.
- 14:01Speaker 4: Do you get your money worth for fifteen Yeah? I was.
- 14:03Speaker 1: I was not wholly disappointed, and in fact ordered a
- 14:07Speaker 1: couple of more.
- 14:08Speaker 3: So did you know that the tap which I learned
- 14:11Speaker 3: last night is they say they invented the pickle shot
- 14:15Speaker 3: in two thousands.
- 14:16Speaker 4: Really, yeah, I did not know that. I was.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I was a little confused by because I was like,
- 14:22Speaker 3: there's no way, right, could we have two alcohol and
- 14:27Speaker 3: inventions here in Brian College station because the p tar
- 14:32Speaker 3: was the home of the Flaming Doctor Peller. It's possible
- 14:35Speaker 3: because the version of the pickle shot. I did some
- 14:39Speaker 3: googling on this yesterday. Apparently the Internet credit some guy
- 14:43Speaker 3: in New York, upstate New York. But it was in
- 14:46Speaker 3: two thousand and six. Both these guys had the idea
- 14:48Speaker 3: in two thousand and six. Seems a little dubious. There
- 14:51Speaker 3: are two versions of the pickle shot that float around
- 14:53Speaker 3: out there, two independent versions. One is a shot that
- 14:56Speaker 3: tastes like pickle.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I always thought it was.
- 15:00Speaker 4: That's what I thought it was because I'm from Texas.
- 15:02Speaker 1: But then when we're in Nashville, you got the other. Mandy,
- 15:05Speaker 1: after having my wife, after having one of the jello
- 15:08Speaker 1: shots that was back of one of my shots, looked
- 15:12Speaker 1: at them and you saw that there was a pickle
- 15:13Speaker 1: shot on there. Didn't look in depth. She just saw
- 15:16Speaker 1: the headline. She ordered it. It was a shot at
- 15:19Speaker 1: Jamison with a side shot of pickle jack.
- 15:21Speaker 4: As the other pickle shot. It's not even a shot,
- 15:24Speaker 4: it's just they give you some pickle juice on the side. Yeah.
- 15:28Speaker 3: I need to know more about this. I would love
- 15:29Speaker 3: to be able to claim that in Brian College station.
- 15:31Speaker 3: I think we all would.
- 15:32Speaker 4: I think we should go ahead.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I mean, if Arkansas can claimed Caso, we can claim that.
- 15:38Speaker 4: You know it right. You don't ask for permission. You
- 15:40Speaker 4: just asked for forgetting. That's how it's shott. You made
- 15:44Speaker 4: it to halfway through July.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Dang, it's the sixteenth of July twenty twenty six.
- 15:49Speaker 4: And these are your reasons to celebrate, Riley Goough.

- 15:55Speaker 5: observed on third Thursday of each quarter of the year.
- 15:58Speaker 5: This day encourages.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Is this to reach out to their guests and gather
- 16:03Speaker 6: feedback and strengthen customer relationship.

- 16:23Speaker 4: They are a food.
- 16:24Speaker 1: In other Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, southern Colombia.
- 16:27Speaker 4: I knew them as pets. At one time.
- 16:32Speaker 3: My dad and my mom were not big on the
- 16:34Speaker 3: idea of getting dogs.
- 16:35Speaker 4: For a while.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Yeah, mine too, But I think my first dog I
- 16:38Speaker 3: got maybe maybe I was in sixth grade, sixth seventh grade.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Before that, though, we wanted pets. And what pet do
- 16:44Speaker 3: you get kids that want pets when they can't have dogs, Well,
- 16:48Speaker 3: you end up trying a few things. It's the first
- 16:50Speaker 3: thing we try with turtles. Horrible idea. Those tanks get disgusting.
- 16:56Speaker 3: The second idea was Gerbils. It's like, okay, we'll get
- 16:59Speaker 3: a Gerbil.
- 16:59Speaker 4: So each of us us ended.
- 17:02Speaker 3: Up getting Gerbils. That was great, that was fine. Then
- 17:05Speaker 3: we decided they need a friend, you know, get a
- 17:06Speaker 3: couple of Gerbils. Then you know, some of them do
- 17:09Speaker 3: what gerbils do and they have more Gerbils. But then maybe, okay,
- 17:12Speaker 3: maybe I need a hamster. Maybe I needed to get
- 17:14Speaker 3: At some point in the house, we had seventy two
- 17:18Speaker 3: versions of rodents.
- 17:19Speaker 1: You had a rodent infestation all in cages, and we
- 17:23Speaker 1: had having some rabbits, some everything.
- 17:25Speaker 3: And my, my poor long suffering father, I think this
- 17:28Speaker 3: is actually why we got a dog. Every Saturday, those
- 17:33Speaker 3: cages had to be cleaned, and we were all kids.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Do you know he can only teach us so much.
- 17:39Speaker 3: I have very very vivid memories my dad out in
- 17:42Speaker 3: the driveway trying to clean out probably twenty different cages
- 17:47Speaker 3: of rodentia. I want every single every single Saturday.
- 17:52Speaker 1: I want to I want to know his thoughts while
- 17:54Speaker 1: he was doing that, the inner conversation he was having
- 17:57Speaker 1: with himself.
- 17:57Speaker 4: I need. We needed to get him, uh, get him to.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Like I never wanted one of those things. I got
- 18:03Speaker 1: bit by a gerbil or a hamster when I was
- 18:06Speaker 1: big old teeth, yeah, a gobbly five or six maybe,
- 18:10Speaker 1: and I remember it was hanging onto my finger and
- 18:12Speaker 1: I was just shaking it and it did not come on.
- 18:14Speaker 7: No.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Uh.
- 18:16Speaker 1: And so therefore I did not want any other rat
