  Speaker 1: dot com. I'm will Welch sixteen twenty ninety four to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: five wta.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: W number one. I don't know what kind of I'm
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: not wonderful people. But there are a lot of people
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: that claim they have five stars. They have five stars.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: We're talking about.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Uber reviews an untarnished.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Because you are a little I can see this in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: your body language. You're a little hurt by the fact
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that I am now I'm yeah once again. What's your
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Uber rating?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Four point seventy five? Four point seventy five.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: But you had forty seven five star reviews.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that. But got a text here
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: someone who screencaps the following a question is four point
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: seventy five a bad Uber rating. A four point seventy
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: five past Geer rating isn't terrible, but it is considered
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: below app reach. Ooh vast majority of riders have scores
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: between four point zero and five point oh. Four point
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: seventy five puts you in a territory where some discerning
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: drivers might hesitate or decline your request, especially during busy hours,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: and they give you some tips to be able to improve.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Always be ready and at the curb when your driver arrives.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: You don't want to keep them waiting. You don't want
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to keep them waiting them waiting.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: This may be why you have a negative score.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Respect the car, never eat, drink or release trash behind
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and manage your group. Avoids slamming doors, ask before bringing
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: extra luggage or bringing in more passengers than the driver
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: might be expecting. Got to treat them with kid gloves
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to get those numbers up. Apparently tragic. I'm never gonna
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: give up four point eight.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You're you're hurt over this.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: I try hard, man and again, like, if this is it,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: this is I've rubered for many, many years. So this
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: goes back to a time that was, like, you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: more than a decade ago. I think we should be
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: reevaluating these. Bob says. Anytime you have forty seven five
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: stars and one star, anybody who's looking at that is
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: going to blame it on the driver, not you. Well,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: can we just get rid of the one star? Then
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I feel like that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think it can be a spunge, right, Apparently,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Jason says, Freedo, do not let the keyboard warriors get
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to you. That twenty eight year old uber driver still
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: lives at home with both their able bodied parents. You
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: have brought laughter to hundreds of thousands at least.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Well, so you got that going for you, well, which
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: is nice, back to the flip flops. You never really
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: got to properly address this because we got sideck, we
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: got sidetrack the idea. The idea again was that flip
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: flops are slowly killing you and you should probably just
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: throw them in the trash. I believe that after a
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: certain age, you can draw the line wherever you want.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: But I think there is an age where you you
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have flip flops anymore, just shouldn't have it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: It is somewhere between when you give up flip flops
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and you migrate towards sketcher slip ons. Yeh, sketch, which
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that's where I'm at. John says, regarding flip flops, my
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: buddy and I call them slop flops for a reason.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I think you smart guys get it. They are whitney. Yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: apparently healed flip flops with the latest shoe trends so ugly.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Only only shoe worse than flops as crocs. What I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: put the crocs above the flops. But let's get back
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to the healed flip flops.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Healed flip flop.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: If there is a way to destroy your feet, or
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: visit your pediatrist. A healed flip flop will do it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: That is a horrible idea. I feel so bad for women.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do the heels thing in general. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: like imagine going to the beach and you're still having
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: to be you're combining.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Now you make that choice, you make that choice. Do
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you remember do you remember back in the day, there
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was a store here at Post Oak Mall called Pat McGee's.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Man, it's taking me back aways.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: That was like the surf shop.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, big before Pacific Sun became a big deal.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And Ocean Pacific.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I was kind of in there.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: All of the all of the nineties.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: They had a sandal that they sold there at their
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: retail of Static Blushmidt that was named after an anatomy
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we won't say the word, but you should probably
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: know that if you google look they still have them there.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: They still have them, they still to this day.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: That was a big fat piece of phone, that's all
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it was, and surgical tubing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: That's all. It was. Soft shoes for a hard world.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Since nineteen seventy three, you realize how much crud seeped
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: into that pham after like one you wear those for
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: a week, it's a bio has.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: There's a little fungal involvement. Yeah, those were nasty. I
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: hated those and I wore them anyway, but they was
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: stylish and they gave me blue. I hate the crip.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Flops, all right, So let me tell you, let me
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: ask you this. Did you ever have the Doc Martin sandals?

• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I had a pair of those bat.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I did have. I had several pairs of birken Stocks,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and I had a pair of custom leather sandals from

  Speaker 1: And I've seen a lot of them, you know, but
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't pay attention to movies the

  Speaker 1: at least in my world, I rarely go to a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: theater to catch a first run movie these days. It
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: has to be something crazy. I may just I may
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: just do something like, you know, an old classic that
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you love, like Animal House, okay, or Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

  Speaker 1: will Welch. The College Station City Council met for just
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: over thirty minutes Monday night to hear a presentation of
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the proposed budget for fiscal year twenty twenty seven. The
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: approximately five hundred and sixty seven million dollar budget is
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: broken down into two major categories, three hundred ninety five
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: million for daily operations and maintenance and one hundred eighty
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: two million dollars for capital improvements. One hundred and sixty
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: nine million will go towards new projects, including a new
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: public works facility, improvements in the Northgate Entertainment district, midtown,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: including Phase two of Texas Independence Park, and neighborhood parks.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Mary Ellen Leonard, director of Fiscal Services for the City
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of College Station, made the presentation to the council and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: says a property tax increase will be required, but the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: exact rate is dependent on the Brass County Appraisal District's values,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: which have yet to be determined. Leonard says there will
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: be no rate increase for water this year, but that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is likely to change in the future.
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: We do not believe that we need to increase the
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: water rates right now because we don't have a need
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: to have to make that debt payment. We do believe that,
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: based on the amount of debt that is needed to
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: build these water wells, that we will have to increase
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: the rates either in f y twenty eight or f
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: y twenty nine.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: While water wastewater and metered electric won't increase, roadway and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: drainage maintenance and siealid waste fees will increase. It is
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: estimated that residents will see an increase of about a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: dollar eighty eight per month. The budget added six new
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: police officers, a cost of living adjustment for public safety
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: personnel of three percent, and no increase in healthcare premiums
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: for city employees. Budget workshops will take place next week
• 22:17

  Speaker 3: Let's go through some of the text messages. We've had
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of people submitting, let's see older movie from
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: the eighties, Rough Hut with Burt Reynolds.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I think I've heard of it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm familiar.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: And I did a good Bert Reynolds movie.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Oh this Bob text in from Hulu air Force one.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: That's a winner. I haven't seen it in a while either.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: One that actually popped up that I I had to
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: go look for you was Ransom Ransom with Mel Gibson.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, give me back my son. I've seen that one.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I think I've seen that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Likely TV. But you could uh, let's see.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You suggested Midsommer Midsommer.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Because I I you can't. I'll be real, I don't
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: think you can watch Midsummer on a plane.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of it.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Ay, you guys on that Midsummer on that game.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: It stars Florence Pugh and Jack Raynor as an American
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: couple okay nice, who are drawn into a violent Culton
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Rule Sweden.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: That's right, yep, mm hmmm.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And and even Sacrifice the film sand soundtrack is composed
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: by a British electronic musician, so you know it's gonna
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: appeal to me even more. That takes inspiration from Nordic
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: folk music? Why are you recommending this to me? Nordic
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: folk music and cult murders.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I showed Rain the movie one time because I was like, hey,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: you need to watch Midsummer I love this movie. She
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: got done. She sat in silence for two and whatever
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: it is. You know hours that the movie is you
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: have to unstare at the TV. And I was like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: why did you make me watch that? I still don't
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: have a good question answer.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I go back to days of yesteryear. I had a
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: group of high school friends and on the weekends we
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: would have a competition to see who could rent the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: worst movie possible. And there's this was back in the
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: day when you had to go to the video stool,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the blockbuster, and I still remember we watched one called
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I Spit on Your Grave, which was to this day
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the worst movie ever. And and I think I think
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I should watch it again.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Lord Glenn Glenn, Glenn Glenn, I was a little.
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: When you said the worst movie ever, you're going about
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: to name my movie, I was gonna recommend for you
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: because this is the I mean, if you want to
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: wash the rest of that out of your brain, this
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: movie is perfect. Probably the biggest UH error on the
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: Academy Awards ever. I don't know if it was political
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: or something with the studios, but it was overlooked.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: The name of the movie is Cabin Boy. Cabin Boy.
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: It's the only full feature film ever by Chris Elliott.
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: There may be a reason for that, and I don't
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: know if.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to find that anywhere. Chris Elliott
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: still out there. Chris Elliott doesn't have the power in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Hollywood to erase it like Jean Favreauda exactly.
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: There's no electronic Nordic music in that. It's probably Paul
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: Schaeffer doing the back.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Chances are good, yeah, Cabin Boy, Cabin Chris Elliott. I
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: won't put that vocal list.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: By the way, do you want to join in the.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: The uber grading conversation for nine time? Nine time?
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm a little jealous, and I've been stuck on
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: that for about five years.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Don't to know. For nine I didn't even know how
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to look at my uber rating until.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: How many trips would you say on it you took?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: It's why it's not five is because when I first,
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: like you first started out years ago, I and didn't
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: really understand how it worked. And we were in Europe
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: and we had a couple of the drivers hung up
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: on us because I couldn't learn how. I didn't know
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: where to meet him, and I didn't know the street
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: names and aggravate you can't.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Talk to me, and they got aggravated.
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: So I'm sure, but I mean recently, the last you know,
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: four or five years, I can't imagine why it won.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: European rating shouldn't count those there's sour.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: People that it should be. It absolutely should be factored
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: in where this rating came from.
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: It might have been in foreign numbers, it might have
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: been in Spanish numbers, because I think.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it's a cultural thing. He thought he was
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: a compliments stars, Hey, four nine, whatever's pretty elite.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: It's not as elite as mine.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: But it is all right. So let's talk Chamber of commerce.

  Speaker 3: So this guy, we didn't get a chance to get
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: to this yesterday, but I wanted to acknowledge that this
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: is one of the wilder stories. This guy got arrested
• 35:31

• 35:45
  Speaker 5: arrested June twenty fifth, they found makeshift structures, fire pits,

• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Can't get your kids to go camping for five days.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't have any problem with that story until it
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: started getting to the litter and pollution. I was like,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the guy should be allowed to be in a national
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: park as long as he wants.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: To, exactly.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: But but but it wasn't taking care of nature. He
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: was changing his oil out there, trash over half an acre.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: If you wanted to walk in with like you know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: or or heck, drive your RV and I don't know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: but it is your park. It is it's your part.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Like if you want to pitch tens. If I come
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: up on your campsite as ten years later and you
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: know it looks like it looks like a standard campsite, Yeah,
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I don't see the problem.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Now do
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: have a problem with what this guy did?
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Like, that's that's just disgusting.
• 37:03
