  Speaker 1: Avenue at Walton Street from noon until 1. Chuck Flieger,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: executive director of Amber Alert Brazos Valley, says that drivers
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: are simply asked to honk as they drive by.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: This is just a reminder that while we do this
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: once a year, every other day out of the year,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: there are people that are missing, and that means that
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: there are family members and loved ones who don't know
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: where they are.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Flieger says there are about 300 missing child reports every year.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: The majority of those cases result in a quick return
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: thanks to the network. About 80 of those cases are
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: where a child is missing three days or longer. On Monday,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a missing 14-year-old from Bryan, Aria Cates, was located safe

  Speaker 1: money paying for the equipment or contracts for ALPRs. and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: other vehicle identification systems that convert license plate images into
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: computer readable data. Huffines calls them spy cameras. He says
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the government has no business tracking where law-abiding Texans drive.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Doing it without a warrant is a clear violation of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. Requirements will apply to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: all future grants administered by the Comptroller's Office. It includes cameras, software,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and subscriptions sold or operated by any entity, including Flock, Motorola,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and Axon. New polling in the race for Senate shows
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a big swing between rural and urban parts of the state.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: In big blue cities, polling shows the race is neck
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and neck. But in rural Texas, the GOP's Ken Paxton
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: is killing it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: There's some diehard Democrats out there, but, you know, they're
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: fewer every election.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says the ranchers he speak
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: with feel like they're ignored by Democrats who rarely campaign

• 2:09
  Speaker 1: American companies to fund weapons programs.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: It sounds like the makings of a spy novel, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: the FBI says this really happened. North Korean operatives posed
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: as American technology workers using stolen identities to land remote jobs.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Employers then shipped computers to North Korean accomplices here in Texas.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: They allowed foreign agents to log in remotely, do the
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: work from overseas, and collect the paychecks. The FBI says
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: nearly a billion dollars was sent back to North Korea
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: to fund weapons programs there. The FBI says they seized

  Speaker 10: Turn to the experts at Malick and Carrier to keep

  Speaker 10: your AC running properly. Malick, feel the difference. I know
• 5:38
  Speaker 10: we just did a whole diatribe on New York, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: we didn't want to leave the West Coast out.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: No, we don't.
• 5:42
  Speaker 10: And I've got actually, I've got a California story that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 10: a little bit confusing, but I know you had one
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: as well.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this popped across my feed this morning. Apparently, the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: city of Sebastopol, California, which I had to look up.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It's wine country.
• 5:56
  Speaker 11: Oh, okay.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Wine country.
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: Right on.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Has banned the outdoor commercial smokers of a particular barbecue
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: restaurant because neighborhood complaints, and then they found something in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: zoning that they could get rid of this particular place.
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: What do you mean ban smokers?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so commercial outdoor smokers. So they're barbecue operations.
• 6:19
  Speaker 10: Smokers in the sense of I'm trying to run a
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: barbecue restaurant thusly. The smell of my barbecue restaurant, which,
• 6:27
  Speaker 10: of course, many would say is the best part of
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: a barbecue restaurant.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It's what I imagine heaven smells like.
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: They somehow don't like that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: They don't like that. They're wine country people. I'm going
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to tell you, I went and looked up this barbecue place,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you the name. And it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: going to get a bunch of people here fired up
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in a couple of different ways. A bunch of people
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: are going to go, oh, they're one of us, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they're going to charge to the rescue. And then there'll
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: be some people over there at the big school that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: may go, hang on a second, we might have a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: copyright infringement.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: Tell me more.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's A & M Barbecue in Sebastopol, California.
• 7:04
  Speaker 12: What?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Now, I looked up the background on these people. They're
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: actually from a small town outside of Oxford, Mississippi.
• 7:10
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And A & M has to do with their names.
• 7:12
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: There's one kind of like C & J. Right. A
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: & M.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: There's A & M there.
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: A & M Barbecue.
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: So.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: There they go, man. The city is trying to get
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: rid of them. Could you imagine if this happened in Texas? Oh,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I can.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: What are you talking? It just never happened in Texas.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It did almost. When? In our capital city of Austin,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Texas in 2015.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: What?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Residents near Terry Black's Barbecue on Barnes Springs Road and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: La Barbecue. Complained to city officials about continuous heavy wood
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: smoke blowing into their homes and backyards 24 hours a day,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: seven days a week.
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: They complained about Terry Black's. Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: That Terry Black's. Like the best in the world, Terry Black's.
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: The place you pay a mortgage to eat lunch, Terry Black's.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Right. The proposed rule, any commercial barbecue pit or food
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: trailer located within 100 feet of a residential area would
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: be required to install smoke mitigation equipment... like scrubbers and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: smoke control systems, the stuff you see on petroleum plants.
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: That's cute.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So there was some public pushback. Apparently there were enough
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: people that weren't high in Austin that you go, Hey,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: hang on a second, man.
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: You know, Terry brought us by those houses outright.
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: Like what are you, what are you doing?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's as stupid as banning the horse drawn carriage in
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: New York city, trying to get rid of barbecue in Austin.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Good gravy.
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: Second California story. That's wild.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
• 8:50
  Speaker 12: Of all the things.
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: We got ourselves a new solution for the gig workers'
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: economy today, Will.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm interested.
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: Now, I don't know how this would translate here, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: it is a thought. California's Lyft and Uber drivers... have joined.
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: The California Gig Workers Union.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: There's a Gig Workers Union?
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a Gig Workers Union.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: How do you do that? Because there's so many different industries.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: Well, that's the question. So all of the Uber, Lyft, DoorDash,
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: Uber Eats.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: Favor, every person where you get in your car and
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: you drive around, that's one thing. But there's also another
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: ton of businesses out there They do the exact same
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: thing that they do. They sign you up as an
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: independent contractor, they 1099 you, and they give you some money.
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: I have no idea, but they have 50,000 people that
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: have signed up for this union already in California.
• 9:59
  Speaker 14: And.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: it's sizable. It's sizable.
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: Now, part of it is because, obviously, if you're an
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: Uber driver, I don't know how you're living with the
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: cost of gas.
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: I don't know. How is it even worth your while?
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: And I know we have a few I'd love to
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: hear from you because how are you making money doing this?
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: And that's what they're thinking.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: They're thinking they need to find a way to get
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: some of this cash out of these companies because they're
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: not kicking it down. And frankly, they're going to replace
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: you anyway since they figured out how to have a
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: self-driving car.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's coming.
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: But yeah, a union in California.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: 50,000 members.
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: 50,000 members. And it is all for the gig workers.
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: Think about the applications of this if it ever caught on.
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: You know, all those things you pay someone, you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: those little convenience jobs all of a sudden become union gigs.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: What would happen because of that?
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: What would be the consequences of that?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: The consequence would be multi-million dollar investments in automation that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: would take your job. AI is here, brother.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: All right, we got to take a break. We'll be
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: back right after this.
• 11:06
  Speaker 14: Your grocery bill's up. Your power bill's up. Now they
• 11:09
  Speaker 14: just voted to raise your property taxes, too. Howard Maine
• 11:13
  Speaker 14: is running to make College.

• 13:36
  Speaker 19: What do we really know about James Tallarico? Tallarico said.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 13:43
  Speaker 19: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 13:47
  Speaker 19: young children. Claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive.
• 13:52
  Speaker 19: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
• 13:56
  Speaker 19: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 14:00
  Speaker 9: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 14:04
  Speaker 19: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological
• 14:08
  Speaker 19: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
• 14:12
  Speaker 19: boys to play in girls' sports, saying some things are
• 14:16
  Speaker 19: more important than fair competition in sports.
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 14:22

• 14:38
  Speaker 10: text us, anytime. And Michael texts in. This is actually
• 14:41
  Speaker 10: a really good point. In regards to the gig workers union,
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: which is taking off 50,000 different Uber and Lyft drivers,
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: mainly it's mainly Uber.
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: And Lyft focused.
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: But again, the idea is to make an entire job
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: union for gig workers. And there's a lot of them
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: out there. He says, Michael, oh, no, people will have
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: to go get their own groceries and take out.
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: The horror. This is a good point. We did used

  Speaker 9: to just go run our own errands.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: It's weird. It doesn't feel like that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: Because similar to before you had Google Maps and you
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: just kind of knew where stuff was. Before you had
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: a cell phone, you probably had the phone numbers of
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: your closest family, friends memorized.
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: And then you just forget that you ever did that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you used to go and get your takeout or
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: go and eat lunch or go and do whatever.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: If you needed a ride, you called a cab.
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: You called a cab or you called a friend.
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: And if you need to go to the grocery store,
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: you just went to the grocery store. Just straight over
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: to the store. You bought your stuff and you put
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: it in your car and you went home. Like it
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: was an actual thing. And you can still do it today.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I have never... utilized the food delivery stuff. Not once.
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: I hate you.
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: This isn't about, I do whatever you need to do
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: to make money. If you're a DoorDash or I fully support,
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: I very much respect you guys that are out there
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: doing that. I hate using DoorDash and I hate using
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: any of the food delivery services because you end up
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: paying like 50 bucks for a burger.
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: And none of that goes to the driver. It all
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: goes to a company somewhere.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I'm too cheap to do that. And I just would
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: feel like what kind of slacker are you, Will, that
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you can't get your fat butt up off the couch
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and go get yourself something to eat?
• 16:44
  Speaker 20: It is.
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: It's just, again, is it nice at the end of
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: the day to not have to leave your house again?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: But like, it's also not a requirement and I don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: want to pay for it. I hate paying for it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: And I try not to do it whenever I can.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That house thing is real, man. I fought like the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: devil three or four times to try to get back
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to my house yesterday.
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: How's that go for you? So, by the way, Will's
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: going to be on the road tomorrow. He goes to Oxford,
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: which means, as you know, whenever Will goes on the road,
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: there's like a week of preparing for this type of thing.
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: And yesterday you were very concerned about your schedule not
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: allowing you time to launder.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: No, there was no laundry.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: There was no laundry.
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: So you did not have a chance to clean the
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: clothes that you will need to wear, too.
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: No.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: No, I managed to scrounge a few things. I stopped by.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I needed some new jeans anyway, so I just went
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in there. There was a sale at this place that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I like to get jeans. So I got some jeans.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I picked up some new shirts within the past couple
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of weeks. And so I had some things that would work.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: So I made a trip to Costco, got some socks
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and jocks.
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: You just went and bought. This is a great hack,
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: by the way. We got a weekend trip. Just go
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: buy new clothes.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And I needed the stuff anyway. It wasn't like I'm
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: just going to chalk it away after I get done
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: with it. But no, I'm not going to leave it
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: in Oxford. But anyway, I needed some new stuff. So, yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I managed between the few new items that I picked
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: up and what I had clean. I managed to pack
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a full suitcase. I can tell you that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: Good call. Good call. And you're going to do the
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: carry-on thing.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, always do the carry-on thing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: Now, is this trip going to involve bingo?
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: No.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It is going to involve bingo. My daughter, who is
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: into the crochet, or is a needlepoint.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: Needlepoint.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: She's in the needlepoint and the bingo. She is arranged,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: because she's actually working this afternoon, so she is arranged
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: for her friend to go save us all seats at
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the bingo hall. Because there's kids sitting on the floor.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this place turns out.
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: So we're going to actually get a full review of
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: Bingo Night at Ole Miss, which has been a mystery
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: to us from day one. The last time we talked
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: about this, this is the one where they give away
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: MacBooks and big screen TVs.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The prize tonight. The grand prize tonight.
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: Give me the rundown.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: 50-inch big screen TV.
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: Get a 50-inch TV and bingo, dude.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: One of those robot vacuum cleaners.
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And there's a list of other prizes, but those, I think,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: were the two big ones.
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: I want to know what else you got. That's crazy.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I think there's a gift pack from a famous bar
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: there called Proud Larry's, which I would actually like to win.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Because some of my favorite musicians continue to play there.
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's kind of a big deal.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'd kind of like to get that stuff, too. But,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. We'll see. We'll see how
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the old bingo chops work. I haven't played in a while.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: Man, yeah, there's nothing. It's not really a skill game,
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: is it?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I need to call my guy, Dave,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that was, they came on board strategy. Need to ask
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: old David how, how, you know, as a, as a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: multi-year bingo caller.
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: Well get Dave in on it too. But I, I
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: know some of you guys have to be bingo.
• 19:59
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Bingo hacks.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: Is, if, is there a hack to bingo? Is there
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: anything you can do to raise your odds of winning
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: in bingo?
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Legal or not, fair or not, I don't care. I'll
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: break the law.
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: Cheating is great, but is there anything, or even just
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: good looks, like what gives you the edge?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I just thought rabbit's foot, but then Tony the rabbit
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: stared at me.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: Take the whole rabbit.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take the whole rabbit.

• 23:18
  Speaker 24: On this Thursday, I'm thinking about the latest ice shooting
• 23:22
  Speaker 24: in New York City. A guy named Oscar Belgao was
• 23:27
  Speaker 24: driving in the Bronx with his five-year-old son in the
• 23:31
  Speaker 24: back seat. He was being sought by federal agents because
• 23:37
  Speaker 24: he's an illegal criminal from the Dominican Republic. In 2023,
• 23:45
  Speaker 24: Belgao pleaded guilty to grand larceny, was given probation. He
• 23:50
  Speaker 24: should have been deported then and there, but no. Two
• 23:56
  Speaker 24: years later, he's arrested on 10 counts of selling narcotics.
• 24:01
  Speaker 24: That means he's a drug dealer. Of course, ICE is
• 24:05
  Speaker 24: going to be searching for Oscar. They find him in
• 24:10
  Speaker 24: the Bronx, where he tries to flee. The agents say
• 24:14
  Speaker 24: he used his car as a weapon. They fired seven
• 24:18
  Speaker 24: shots into the vehicle. The boy wasn't hurt. The feds
• 24:21
  Speaker 24: say they didn't even know he was there. Now, the
• 24:25
  Speaker 24: reason this happened is that New York Governor Kathy Hochul
• 24:29
  Speaker 24: has declared her state a sanctuary place. She has ordered
• 24:33
  Speaker 24: officials there not to cooperate with ICE on most cases.
• 24:42
  Speaker 24: We have violent situations like this. To me, that's a crime.
• 24:48
  Speaker 24: And it's on the governor.
• 24:51
  Speaker 20: Back in a moment.

  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. On
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night, WTAW and the Bryan College Station Chamber of
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Commerce held a candidate forum featuring candidates from many races.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Scott DeLucia asked the candidates for College Station Mayor about
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: their thoughts on affordable housing. Elizabeth Kuna says it's a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: problem that will never go away.
• 28:06
  Speaker 28: Affordable housing is never going to be solved. We can
• 28:10
  Speaker 28: only do some things sometimes for some people.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: She thinks increasing the homestead exemption is a good start.
• 28:17
  Speaker 28: I would like to see the homestead exemption raised. They
• 28:20
  Speaker 28: said we can go up to 20%. We're sitting at five.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: What does that do?
• 28:23
  Speaker 28: It incentivizes home ownership.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Bob Yancey is optimistic about the issue. He says a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: root issue is out-of-control appraisals.
• 28:32
  Speaker 15: I can promise you that it can be improved. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 15: don't know about completely resolved, but it can definitely be improved.
• 28:38
  Speaker 15: When Christy and I bought our first house in Shenandoah
• 28:41
  Speaker 15: in College Station, we paid.
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: $ 75, 000 for it.
• 28:45
  Speaker 15: If I control for inflation, that house should cost $ 170, 000. Instead,
• 28:50
  Speaker 15: it's on the rolls for $ 300, 000.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Scott also asked the candidates how they feel about the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: city's ownership of Macy's.
• 28:58
  Speaker 15: It's a bad situation and an enduring, visible reminder that
• 29:02
  Speaker 15: a poor governmental decision was made.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Yancey says the city needs to find a way to
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: get out from under it.
• 29:09
  Speaker 15: I do believe the disposition of that asset has to happen,
• 29:12
  Speaker 15: and it has to happen soon.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Kuna says the purchase had led to big tenants coming
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: into the mall.
• 29:19
  Speaker 28: It's easy to look back and say, oh, that was
• 29:21
  Speaker 28: a terrible decision. But at the time, we had residents
• 29:23
  Speaker 28: whose drumbeat was, you've got to do something about the mall.
• 29:26
  Speaker 28: And so we did something. The upside of it is
• 29:30
  Speaker 28: that it kept stability at the mall. And so now
• 29:33
  Speaker 28: you have Murdoch's. Now you have... um dave busters you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Can hear from all the candidates at tuesday's forum including

  Speaker 13: There are a lot of trucks for sale right now
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: just because of the price of diesel.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Texas trucking consultant Joe Michael says this is having a
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: ripple effect. With fewer operators, it's more expensive to move goods.

  Speaker 31: Because if the government did this to him, then they
• 32:32
  Speaker 31: must repair him. Because this is not only a damage
• 32:34
  Speaker 31: that can damage him for the next few days, the
• 32:37
  Speaker 31: next few months, or the next few weeks. It could
• 32:39
  Speaker 31: be a damage that can be lifelong.
• 32:41

• 35:51
  Speaker 34: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 35:56
  Speaker 34: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach.
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying
• 36:03
  Speaker 11: the law as written so the rules don't change depending
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: on who walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means
• 36:09
  Speaker 11: a court system that works for the people it serves.
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: Blacklock has called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying
• 36:17
  Speaker 11: court procedures, and making legal services more affordable. Because a
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: case should be decided on the facts and the law,
• 36:24
  Speaker 11: not on who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: belong to the people. That means judges should be accountable,
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: rules should be clear, and the system should be accessible
• 36:34
  Speaker 11: to those who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: means more than a principle. It means a court system
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: Texans can understand, trust, and afford to use. Chief Justice
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: Jimmy Blacklock.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Clear rules. Accountable courts.
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: Equal justice under law.

  Speaker 9: Going back to the Uber thing.
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: Kevin says, it depends on what time of day and
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: what day, whenever you're driving, to how much a driver
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: makes and what your earning potential is. The average driver
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: makes about $ 5 a.
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: Ride, he says, in College Station.
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: I can do about 20 rides on a tank of gas,
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: depending on how long each trip is. About five to
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: seven trips will fill up his tank. Man, that's a
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: tight margin. Now, moving on, because I want to get
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: back to what's really important. We're going to play bingo tonight.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: In Oxford, Mississippi.
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: Now, Sean says, if you want good luck, you've got
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: to make sure you put the dauber caps upside down
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: at the table so they catch all the good luck.
• 38:01
  Speaker 9: They still use the daubers?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Apparently.
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: That's still a.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Well, apparently it's somewhere. I think this is the electronic stuff.
• 38:08
  Speaker 35: Yeah.
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: I would think so. I mean, times have changed.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a barbecue restaurant. slash bar right
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and then thursday nights they do the bingo so that's
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that's that's where that comes.
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: From uh jack text in a question for you will
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: okay uh that question is as follows will you don't
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: launder your new.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Clothes no my theory on that is they will never
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: be cleaner than when they come out of the box
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: because after i've worn them there's going to be a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: little funk on them And my wife hates that. She
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: hates that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: So your wife is a take the stuff, wash it first.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: She thinks it's dirty or something. I don't know.
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: This is my question that I wanted to get into
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: just briefly because I don't think we've dove down this
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: rabbit hole yet.
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: When you buy new clothes.
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: Doesn't matter if they're jeans. I'm going to remove underwear.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: For the sake of.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: Okay, fair.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: They come to you in a sealed box? Do you
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: think somebody else was putting them on in the factory
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: before they got to you?
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: When you shop for new clothes, do you wear them
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: straight out of the bag or do you wash them first?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Which.
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: is it?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Michael says I have to wash first.
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: I'm I'm really interested in this because I also have
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: thought this was fairly divisive. But I think I've always
• 39:43
  Speaker 10: thought that it was more on the side of just
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: wearing them once you buy them.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: And here's why.
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: They never fit exactly as good as when you get
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: it out of the store.
• 39:55
  Speaker 10: I don't care what I try to do as far
• 39:57
  Speaker 10: as laundry goes. When I order a shirt or buy
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: a shirt, it fits great. Runs through the wash once,
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: just slightly less, and then it kind.
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: Of degrades from there.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Nothing better than straight out of the store clothes. Wife's
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: big hang-up in this same sort of region. Sheets.
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: So you have to wash those, too?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: She wants to wash the sheets right after you take
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: them out of the medically sealed bag.
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: What do you think happened to them?
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: They came straight out of the sheet machine. Do you
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: think that somebody was testing them at the factory? They
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: made up a bed and somebody slept in them overnight?
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: Okay, we're going to need you guys to weigh in.
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: 979-695-1620.
• 40:41
  Speaker 10: And you know what? I'll incentivize this, too. Four-pack tickets
• 40:45
  Speaker 10: to the Brazos Valley Fair. These are the general admission tickets.
• 40:48
  Speaker 10: to go do all the fun stuff at the fair.
• 40:49
  Speaker 10: If you want the rodeo, you still got to buy
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: tickets for that. But everything at the Brazos Valley Fair,
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: which is happening momentarily.
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, can't wait for that. 979-695-1620. And again, very simple.
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: You're buying clothes.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: Do you have to wash them before you wear them?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Garrett says, Garrett says, I'm in Will's camp. Wear them.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: They'll never be cleaner.
• 41:12
  Speaker 10: Misty, I used to work in the apparel industry. There
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: are chemicals on the clothing that should be washed off.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: I'm going to take your word for it, Misty. I'm
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: going to take your word for that. But there's chemicals
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: in everything.
• 41:24
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Are they more dangerous than the chemicals that are in
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: the little, you know, cube of soap that I throw in?
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Or the scent beads.
• 41:32
  Speaker 10: Or this little styrofoam cup that I'm drinking a hot
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: Bev out of.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: The nonstick skillet that is causing me all kinds of damage. Whatever.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: All right, look.
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: Text us. We'll take a break. We'll see what you
• 41:42
  Speaker 9: guys have for us coming up next.
• 41:44
  Speaker 36: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 41:46
  Speaker 36: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs

• 42:26
  Speaker 36: When my wife, Jean, and I first entered premarital counseling,
• 42:29
  Speaker 36: we had no doubts that we were meant for each other.
• 42:32
  Speaker 36: We enjoyed most of the same things and felt we
• 42:34
  Speaker 36: were alike in almost every way. By the time we
• 42:37
  Speaker 36: finished our last session a week later, that had all changed.
• 42:41
  Speaker 36: Our certainty had faded, and we were both thinking, wow,
• 42:45
  Speaker 36: we're more different than we thought. Is our marriage going
• 42:48
  Speaker 36: to be okay? No matter how much you and your
• 42:50
  Speaker 36: spouse have in common, you'll eventually discover parts of your
• 42:54
  Speaker 36: relationship where you don't mesh at all. In that moment,
• 42:57
  Speaker 36: your efforts to become one will be challenged. Each of
• 43:01
  Speaker 36: you will feel like your spouse ought to see the
• 43:03
  Speaker 36: world the same way you do. Instead of battling each
• 43:06
  Speaker 36: other at every turn, a better approach is found in grace.
• 43:10
  Speaker 36: Grace is what becoming one is all about. Couples never
• 43:14
  Speaker 36: know each other perfectly. Marriage is an unfolding mystery, a
• 43:18
  Speaker 36: day-by-day discovery of what it means to love and sacrifice
• 43:21
  Speaker 36: for another person. You never know fully what in sickness
• 43:25
  Speaker 36: and in health means until one of you actually gets sick.
• 43:29
  Speaker 36: You won't know what for better or for worse means
• 43:32
  Speaker 36: until one of you does something unlovable and you stay
• 43:36
  Speaker 36: committed to your marriage anyway. To become one flesh, embrace
• 43:40
  Speaker 36: your mate's differences. Sacrifice your desires on behalf of your spouse.
• 43:45
  Speaker 36: Extend grace and allow your differences to bring you together
• 43:49
  Speaker 36: instead of driving you apart. To help your marriage thrive,

• 45:57
  Speaker 17: The Aggie soccer team is hosting South Carolina tonight at
• 46:00
  Speaker 17: Ellis Field, as well as on the hunt for their
• 46:02
  Speaker 17: first SEC conference win of the season. Head coach Bobby
• 46:06
  Speaker 17: Shuttleworth spoke about what a win would mean to the team.
• 46:10
  Speaker 39: Obviously, we're going into every game trying to do everything
• 46:12
  Speaker 39: we can to try to win, and we haven't gotten
• 46:16
  Speaker 39: a point in the SEC play yet, so no different
• 46:19
  Speaker 39: this weekend. Obviously, two big games at home, nice to
• 46:21
  Speaker 39: get back home and be able to sleep in our
• 46:23
  Speaker 39: own beds and all of that, so obviously approaching Thursday
• 46:26
  Speaker 39: against a tough South Carolina team, trying to get a result.
• 46:30
  Speaker 17: First kick for tonight's game is set for 7 o'clock.
• 46:33
  Speaker 17: The Aggie football team is preparing to host the Citadel
• 46:36
  Speaker 17: this Saturday at Kyle Field and working towards getting themselves
• 46:39
  Speaker 17: back into the win column. Over the last few weeks,
• 46:42
  Speaker 17: the team has been making changes on the defense to
• 46:44
  Speaker 17: improve their game. And head coach Mike Elko spoke about
• 46:47
  Speaker 17: what still needs to be worked on.
• 46:50
  Speaker 35: Made a concerted effort to try to streamline, allow our
• 46:52
  Speaker 35: kids an opportunity to play fast. Again, you don't know
• 46:56
  Speaker 35: you have it wrong until you have it wrong. And
• 46:58
  Speaker 35: that's coaching, I think, to some degree. And I think
• 47:01
  Speaker 35: our kids have bought into the ownership on that. And
• 47:04
  Speaker 35: now I think it's just that what I told them
• 47:06
  Speaker 35: is it's consistency. I think it's the ability to be
• 47:10
  Speaker 35: repetitively good.
• 47:11
  Speaker 17: Kickoff for the A & M versus the Citadel game
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: is set for Saturday at noon. Tonight kicks off week
• 47:18
  Speaker 17: six of the NFL. And in Thursday night football, the
• 47:20
  Speaker 17: Denver Broncos will be hosting the Seattle Seahawks. The Aggie
• 47:25
  Speaker 17: men's basketball team is less than two weeks away from
• 47:27
  Speaker 17: the start of the 2026-2027 season. And head coach Bucky
• 47:31
  Speaker 17: McMillan shared thoughts on the ceiling of what this year's
• 47:34
  Speaker 17: team is capable of.
• 47:35
  Speaker 20: With any team you have, you want to reach their potential.
• 47:38
  Speaker 20: What does your potential mean? I think that if you
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: can compete in our league, you can compete versus anybody.
• 47:43
  Speaker 20: Now you know when you get to the NCAA tournament,
• 47:45
  Speaker 20: if you battle hard to get there, you know you
• 47:49
  Speaker 20: have your route. You've got to put together your best
• 47:51
  Speaker 20: games there at the end of the season. And hopefully
• 47:53
  Speaker 20: we find out that if we're playing really good basketball
• 47:56
  Speaker 20: and we can play A-plus basketball, It means we can
• 47:58
  Speaker 20: compete versus anybody. Look, the reality of basketball is different
• 48:01
  Speaker 20: than a lot of sports. You play nearly 40 games
• 48:03
  Speaker 20: over the course of the season. You can lose three
• 48:05
  Speaker 20: games in a row. In other sports, the season's over.
• 48:08
  Speaker 20: You can lose five games in a row and win
• 48:09
  Speaker 20: the national championship. And so I think that you're going
• 48:12
  Speaker 20: to find out a lot about your team, their resiliency
• 48:15
  Speaker 20: as this goes along because you're going to play the
• 48:17
  Speaker 20: gauntlet of the SEC, which will be the best league
• 48:21
  Speaker 20: in the history of college basketball this year. And we
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: have the second-hardest schedule. So, like, you're going to find
• 48:26
  Speaker 20: out about, like, can we stay together and everybody stay
• 48:29
  Speaker 20: together to keep trucking forward so we're our best version
• 48:31
  Speaker 20: of ourselves at the end of the year.
• 48:33
  Speaker 17: The Maroon and White's first exhibition game is set for Sunday,
• 48:36
  Speaker 17: October 25th at the Moody Coliseum in Dallas, Texas against
• 48:40
  Speaker 17: SMU with tip-off for the game set for 1 o'clock.
• 48:43

• 48:56

• 49:04
  Speaker 40: that and you can start creating conditions for biological growth.
• 49:07
  Speaker 40: If your home still feels sticky, even with the AC running,

• 51:05
  Speaker 9: We are asking a question that is born out of will.
• 51:11
  Speaker 10: Buying road clothes which i think is a that's what

  Speaker 9: The question came from one of you guys will you
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: don't wash your new clothes.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Before no wear them nope they'll never be cleaner will's
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: wife disagrees Lots of people on both sides of this.
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: Everything. So let's go through the text message.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Gary came in, just put on a new T-shirt
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: and a pair of boxers I bought yesterday. Did not wash. Gary!
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: Scandalous.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Scandalous.
• 51:48
  Speaker 10: I mean, especially when you take a look at some
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: people that are, again, some people that work in retail
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: have said they like dripping in chemicals, which I don't
• 51:54
  Speaker 10: want to say dripping.
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: But they say, yeah, formaldehyde, there's a lot of stuff
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: that's on there.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: You don't want it on your skin.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: In fact, our dear area leader texted in.
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: That's right. Ben Downs has weighed in on the segment.
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: What did he say?
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: He said manufacturing chemicals. They use formaldehyde, all kinds of
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: other stuff. Also, insecticides and things like that. Well, first
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: of all, I could use a good insecticide every so often.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Second of all.
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: Those chemicals are what keep me alive.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, even Google says you should not
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: do this.
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: So.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: I went to the AI.
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: Okay, well, this is good.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: This is a good way to get consensus.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: And the AI says, absolutely, you should wash your clothes.
• 52:37
  Speaker 35: Really?
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: That all of those things that these people have mentioned,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the chemicals and everything else, except for the biohazard stuff.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Somebody said, oh, you could get diseases. The diseases aren't,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: you know, they aren't surviving that trip.
• 52:48
  Speaker 10: I mean, I'm going to assume that they had a minute.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: To air out. Yeah, so they say the AI says
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: not to do it, right?
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: So.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Me being the news guy that I am.
• 52:59
  Speaker 35: Okay.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: I said, well, it's time to dig deeper. All right.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: So I asked the AI, what happens if you don't?
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: That's the ultimate question, Will.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: You know what the AI said?
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: What happens if you don't?
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Probably nothing.
• 53:11
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 53:12
  Speaker 9: I mean, well, I'll give you this.
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: If you have sensitive skin, if it's a thing, you
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: would know. If it's like, hey, I have to wash
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: clothes because, you know.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I have a sensitivity to formaldehyde.
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: The only thing I'll say about this, and I think
• 53:24
  Speaker 10: everything was correct in terms like, hey, there's got to
• 53:26
  Speaker 10: be some chemicals on it.
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: Y'all don't remember mothballs?
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, come on.
• 53:30
  Speaker 26: You don't remember?
• 53:30
  Speaker 9: I mean, I didn't use them. I was way too
• 53:32
  Speaker 9: young for that.
• 53:32
  Speaker 10: My grandparents sure as heck did walk in their closet
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: and nearly pass out. Like, you're telling me that doesn't
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: soak into the polyester a little bit?
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: As Garrett said, just wait until these folks find out
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: what's in their laundry detergent.
• 53:46
  Speaker 9: I don't know what you're talking about, Garrett. I don't
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: use Tide Pods. I eat them.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Tasty snacks.
• 53:52
  Speaker 10: Luke says, my wife and I argue about this.
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: Socks and underwear out of the package? I don't wash first.
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: Dress shirts?
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: Otherwise, they have creases. All right, fair.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Sheets, yes.
• 54:07
  Speaker 9: Otherwise, they don't smell right. You've got to have.
• 54:10
  Speaker 10: That dryer sheet scent on it.
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: But yes, lots of good stuff.
• 54:16
  Speaker 10: And with that said, it's really not even the biggest
• 54:18
  Speaker 10: issue that Will is going to be facing. We'll have
• 54:21
  Speaker 10: to talk about your parking situation later. But before we
• 54:24
  Speaker 10: get to that, let's have our Thursday morning ritual.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's time.
• 54:28
  Speaker 9: Yep, that's right. Ladies and gentlemen, a very fast round
• 54:31
  Speaker 9: of jokes with Will.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: What kind of soap does a dolphin use?
• 54:37
  Speaker 15: Go ahead.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: All-porpoise cleaner.
• 54:39
  Speaker 9: There it is.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: How about this one, a knock-knock joke?
• 54:43
  Speaker 24: Okay.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Knock-knock.
• 54:44
  Speaker 9: Who's there?
• 54:45
  Speaker 20: Owls.
• 54:45
  Speaker 9: Owls?
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Owls who? Yes, they do.
• 54:51
  Speaker 9: Very nice.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Where do you take somebody who's been injured in a
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: peekaboo accident?
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: Where do you take them?
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: The ICU. All right, let's wrap it up here. What
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: do you got? How warm is a baby at birth?
• 55:05
  Speaker 9: I don't know, 98.6.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Womb temperature. Womb temperature.
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: I feel like you probably left some in the tank
• 55:11
  Speaker 10: and I shortchanged you on this one.
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: I apologize for that.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's both of our faults.
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: Spectacular.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you very much.
