2:15
Speaker 1: Starting Tuesday morning, there will be some lane closures to
2:18
Speaker 1: watch out for in Bryan. The county is remodeling the
2:21
Speaker 1: Brazos County Administration Building, so the right lane will be
2:24
Speaker 1: closed on Texas Avenue southbound between 26th and 28th streets.
2:29
Speaker 1: The closures are expected to last through the end of
2:31
Speaker 1: the year. Leon County announced that the burn ban has
2:35
Speaker 1: been lifted. All other counties in the Brazos Valley are
2:38
Speaker 1: still under burn bans until further notice. The State Board
2:41
Speaker 1: of Education adopted new curriculum for public high schools that
2:44
Speaker 1: some say is anti-Islam. 7-4, the main motion passes.
2:49
Speaker 2: And the State Board of Education made it official.
2:52
Speaker 3: Lessons that portray Islam in a negative light will be
2:55
Speaker 3: added to the high school social studies curriculum in 2030.
2:58
Speaker 3: Alito board member Brandon Hall edited how Muhammad is referred to.
3:02
Speaker 4: Christian Texans definitely wouldn't accept someone as a prophet who
3:05
Speaker 4: married a six-year-old little girl and consummated the marriage at nine.
3:08
Speaker 5: And so this just clarifies it that he's the prophet
3:10
Speaker 5: of Islam.
3:11
Speaker 3: The lessons focus on Muhammad's military campaigns against Jewish and
3:14
Speaker 3: Christian tribes. Islam is also blamed for 9-11 instead of Al-Qaeda.
3:19
Speaker 2: Texans got to voice their opinions.
3:21
Speaker 4: Islam is against freedom, especially for women and children.
3:25
Speaker 2: If adopted.
3:26
Speaker 1: It promotes real harm to Muslim students across Texas.

4:25
Speaker 5: down to the 70s tonight. And that's your forecast for
4:28
Speaker 5: the week. I really don't have to say it anymore.
4:30
Speaker 7: No.
4:30
Speaker 5: I can just put it on the loop.
4:31
Speaker 1: Every day, just go, ditto.

4:43
Speaker 5: feel the difference. I want to talk about something that
4:46
Speaker 5: has become... We like to look for answers on the show.
4:49
Speaker 5: It's whenever we come up with something, we realize that.
4:51
Speaker 1: We have questions, and a lot of times we know
4:53
Speaker 1: those will be your questions, too.
4:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're never above going down a rabbit hole. One
4:58
Speaker 5: of the things that we have been... I mean, I've
5:00
Speaker 5: been obsessing over this recently, is the fact that your
5:03
Speaker 5: kid is obsessed with bingo.
5:07
Speaker 1: She's obsessed with bingo, mahjong, and needlepoint.
5:11
Speaker 8: Right.
5:12
Speaker 1: And last week on Thursday, she messaged my wife and said, Mom,
5:18
Speaker 1: you think it'd be okay if I took my needlepoint
5:20
Speaker 1: to the bingo? Right.
5:22
Speaker 5: Which seems.
5:23
Speaker 1: Seems a little granny-ish.
5:24
Speaker 5: A little granny-ish, but then we learned that the kids
5:27
Speaker 5: are winning MacBooks.
5:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, the prizes are extraordinary. TVs, MacBooks, Jagermeister, shop machines.
5:35
Speaker 5: So we wanted to take another look at this.
5:36
Speaker 1: We had a lot of curiosity, and I said, hey, Tucker.
5:40
Speaker 1: Would you be interested in talking to a professional bingo caller?
5:42
Speaker 5: I said, of course I would. Of course I would.
5:45
Speaker 5: But where do you get a professional bingo caller, Will?
5:49
Speaker 1: My old and dear friend, David Bogart, ladies and gentlemen.
5:52
Speaker 8: Good morning, gentlemen.
5:53
Speaker 1: How are we doing today?
5:55
Speaker 8: Professional bingo caller.
5:56
Speaker 2: All right.
5:56
Speaker 1: I like that. You do it for money. That's true.
5:58
Speaker 8: That is true.
5:59
Speaker 5: Where do you call bingo?
6:01
Speaker 8: I'm at Brazos Bingo. We're across the street from Brian High.
6:03
Speaker 8: They're on Briarcrest.
6:04
Speaker 5: How long have you been doing it?
6:05
Speaker 8: I've been there since about 2013, so about 13 years.
6:08
Speaker 9: I know.
6:09
Speaker 8: I would have never thought that a few years ago.
6:11
Speaker 5: Did you start out wanting to do this.
6:13
Speaker 8: Or just kind of fall into it? Absolutely not. I'm
6:17
Speaker 8: food and beverage background. We lost my dad in 2010,
6:20
Speaker 8: and I'd always told him I was going to finish
6:22
Speaker 8: school because when I came out of Consolidated, as Will
6:25
Speaker 8: Welch did, I went to A & M right out
6:27
Speaker 8: of high school, and I'll just say I was interested
6:29
Speaker 8: in everything about being an Aggie except going to class.
6:31
Speaker 8: So it did not work out well. Well, I found
6:33
Speaker 8: food and beverage. Yes. Found food and beverage, and I
6:36
Speaker 8: did that for several decades, actually, and then decided, you
6:40
Speaker 8: know what? This has kind of run its course. I'm
6:41
Speaker 8: going to go back to school. And a friend of
6:43
Speaker 8: mine was running the grill at Brad's Bingo and was like,
6:45
Speaker 8: you should give this bingo a call. Give it a try.
6:48
Speaker 8: And I was going back to school, went to Sam Houston,
6:50
Speaker 8: and– So I was like, well, we'll give this a shot.
6:53
Speaker 1: All right.
6:53
Speaker 8: And she's like, I'm telling you, I know we're both
6:55
Speaker 8: food and beverage people, which you run into a lot
6:57
Speaker 8: of interesting people in food and beverage.
6:58
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:59
Speaker 8: It's nothing compared to bingo.
7:00
Speaker 1: Really?
7:01
Speaker 8: And anybody that says retail and food and beverage is crazy,
7:03
Speaker 8: that's because you've never worked in bingo.
7:04
Speaker 5: That's wild.
7:05
Speaker 1: Wow. That's saying a lot, man.
7:08
Speaker 8: It really is.
7:09
Speaker 6: That's saying a lot.
7:09
Speaker 2: It definitely is.
7:10
Speaker 8: So I went to Sam Houston, got a couple of degrees,
7:12
Speaker 8: and yet here I am still calling bingo. So definitely
7:15
Speaker 8: not the plan that I had.
7:16
Speaker 5: Well, let's, like, as far as the, like, When we
7:19
Speaker 5: were discussing this earlier, looked into it, it felt like
7:22
Speaker 5: there has been a resurgence in bingo amongst the college kids.
7:27
Speaker 5: Have you noticed this?
7:29
Speaker 8: We get some college kids. When I first started, we
7:31
Speaker 8: had a Thursday little special. It was a college special.
7:34
Speaker 8: And you come in, and if you're over 21, they'd
7:35
Speaker 8: give you a beer and come in and play bingo.
7:37
Speaker 8: And we used to have some crowds that wrapped around
7:39
Speaker 8: the building. We quit doing that probably for some liability
7:42
Speaker 8: reasons or whatever.
7:43
Speaker 10: Yeah.
7:44
Speaker 5: Wrapped around the building.
7:46
Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely. We'd have 150, 200 college kids at that time.
7:49
Speaker 5: How many people do you put in?
7:52
Speaker 8: Average is not really a good form because it can
7:55
Speaker 8: be anywhere from 60 to 75 people to 200 people.
7:58
Speaker 8: I call Friday days and Sunday nights, and usually my
8:00
Speaker 8: crowds are between 75 and 125. On Friday days and
8:05
Speaker 8: Sunday nights. Friday day is the only daytime session we have.
8:07
Speaker 8: You said days.
8:08
Speaker 5: It threw me. When can you play on Friday?
8:10
Speaker 8: Friday day is the only time. We open at 1.
8:12
Speaker 8: Package play starts at 2. And we finish up about
8:14
Speaker 8: 4 o'clock.
8:15
Speaker 5: You tell me.
8:16
Speaker 1: I can roll in at 1.
8:18
Speaker 5: And then I can just bingo for hours.
8:21
Speaker 8: Absolutely. You can stay through and play Friday night, too.
8:24
Speaker 8: We have two sessions every night. So you can be there.
8:27
Speaker 8: And some people are. From 1 o'clock until 10 o'clock
8:30
Speaker 8: at night.
8:30
Speaker 5: I've never actually gone in and played. How much money
8:33
Speaker 5: does it cost to do this properly?
8:35
Speaker 8: Well, when you come in, you've got to play package play,
8:37
Speaker 8: and that's what everybody traditionally thinks of, you know, the
8:38
Speaker 8: 12-face or 18-face where you're dobbing the bingo cards. We
8:41
Speaker 8: also have the machines, which have 66-face machines. So that's
8:45
Speaker 8: your basic, you know, we have five games each session.
8:48
Speaker 8: On a given night, it's two $ 250 games, two $ 500 games,
8:50
Speaker 8: and a $ 1, 000 game. But the revenue really is driven
8:55
Speaker 8: by pull tab sales. We've got all plays, dobs, and horses.
8:59
Speaker 8: So anybody that plays bingo would know what I'm talking about.
9:01
Speaker 8: Anybody that doesn't play bingo is like, are you speaking French?
9:04
Speaker 8: I have no idea what you're talking about.
9:06
Speaker 5: Absolutely. What do I have to pay to get into
9:07
Speaker 5: a game?
9:10
Speaker 8: Given nights, I mean, there are different prices. But on,
9:12
Speaker 8: let's say, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, our full price machine is $ 12. 50.
9:15
Speaker 8: And then paper can be add on anywhere from $ 5
9:17
Speaker 8: to $ 10. We've got Tuesday, Thursday, we've got a full
9:20
Speaker 8: price option. It's only $ 10. 00. And then Saturday, Sunday is
9:23
Speaker 8: a half-price, full-price option. Full-price machines are $ 25, half-price.
9:27
Speaker 5: Is $ 10. Why are we not doing this every Friday?
9:29
Speaker 8: You should. You should come in Friday day.
9:31
Speaker 5: We're done with the show. We have nothing else to do.
9:34
Speaker 1: We would even have a little time for a siesta
9:36
Speaker 1: before the 1 o'clock game. Absolutely.
9:38
Speaker 5: Get a nap or go get food and then just
9:40
Speaker 5: go in and bingo.
9:41
Speaker 1: Why not both? Food, nap, bingo.
9:43
Speaker 11: Absolutely.
9:44
Speaker 1: Okay.
9:45
Speaker 5: How much can you win?
9:46
Speaker 8: That also varies. Anywhere from $ 100 to we've got games
9:50
Speaker 8: that are over $ 1, 000. We've got some horse races. There's
9:54
Speaker 8: a $ 600 horse and what's called a $ 500 hold. So,
9:56
Speaker 8: you know, we've got some large games.
9:58
Speaker 1: This whole vernacular that he's throwing out there.
10:00
Speaker 8: I know. Again, if you play bingo, you're like, of course.
10:03
Speaker 5: I'd be lost. The kids are so into, you'll figure
10:07
Speaker 5: it out. You just kind of, you know, the kids
10:09
Speaker 5: are so into this DraftKings nonsense.
10:12
Speaker 8: Why were y'all not on the bingo? Yeah, it was
10:14
Speaker 8: more tangible money right there. It's right there.
10:17
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
10:17
Speaker 8: It's action.
10:17
Speaker 5: Like, that's wonderful.
10:18
Speaker 1: So if you guys ever consider, I know that there
10:20
Speaker 1: was last year, I know that Chelsea, who was on
10:24
Speaker 1: the show then, went to a, it was like a
10:26
Speaker 1: traveling bingo game. Oh, that's right. Okay. They had, like,
10:30
Speaker 1: music and karaoke and other.
10:32
Speaker 5: Stuff going on.
10:33
Speaker 8: Disco bingo.
10:34
Speaker 9: Right.
10:34
Speaker 4: Yeah.
10:34
Speaker 8: No, this is a much more serious crowd.
10:37
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. We are.
10:38
Speaker 8: It's a non-profit, and we have five main charities, St.
10:41
Speaker 8: Joseph Catholic Church, Catholic School, Scotty's House, Bubba Moore, and
10:45
Speaker 8: College Station Professional Firefighters Association, which can be a twang twister.
10:48
Speaker 8: But all of our proceeds go to them, and then
10:50
Speaker 8: they distribute their proceeds throughout their beneficiaries. But You know,
10:55
Speaker 8: our group's not into the disco, and it's not all
10:57
Speaker 8: old like you would think. We've got 35 to 85.
11:01
Speaker 1: But they're just there to play.
11:02
Speaker 8: They are there. I mean, it is a charitable contribution,
11:05
Speaker 8: but no, they're gamblers.
11:06
Speaker 5: So you're walking, and you can read those people when
11:09
Speaker 5: they walk in the door.
11:10
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
11:10
Speaker 8: You know who's there. We see some of them four, five,
11:13
Speaker 8: six times a week. I mean, it is definitely what
11:16
Speaker 8: they do. Yeah.
11:17
Speaker 12: Wow.
11:18
Speaker 9: Yeah.
11:18
Speaker 1: So there's room to open up. A college bingo situation.
11:24
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be stealing anything from him.
11:26
Speaker 5: You don't break into his inn.
11:28
Speaker 8: We don't have a lot of college students.
11:30
Speaker 1: We get a few.
11:30
Speaker 8: I mean, last night, I worked last night, and we
11:32
Speaker 8: had a handful. But it's usually, you can count on
11:35
Speaker 8: two hands, probably, usually how many college students.
11:37
Speaker 5: Do they bring needlepoint to your.
11:39
Speaker 1: We have.
11:40
Speaker 8: I'm not going to mention anybody's name, obviously. But, you know,
11:44
Speaker 8: I was laughing when you said that. We do have
11:46
Speaker 8: this one lady, and she is there three, four times
11:49
Speaker 8: a week.
11:49
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yep.
11:51
Speaker 8: And, yes, she does her crochet. She does her needlepoint.
11:53
Speaker 8: And she sits out there for an hour before we
11:56
Speaker 8: open the doors.
11:57
Speaker 1: She does.
11:57
Speaker 8: Got to get her seat. She's got to be in
11:59
Speaker 8: her seat.
12:00
Speaker 1: Wow.
12:00
Speaker 5: So they line up in advance.
12:03
Speaker 8: Absolutely.
12:03
Speaker 5: And they hang out there. And then when the door
12:05
Speaker 5: is open, then it's game time.
12:07
Speaker 1: It's a free-for-all.
12:08
Speaker 8: And, yes, I mean, I have had to step between
12:11
Speaker 8: 75-year-old women that are ready to bow up because they've
12:13
Speaker 8: got to have their specific seat.
12:14
Speaker 1: Wow.
12:15
Speaker 5: I've been missing the boat on this.
12:17
Speaker 10: Yeah.
12:17
Speaker 8: I've been missing the boat on this.
12:18
Speaker 1: If nothing else, the people watching sounds fascinating.
12:20
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
12:21
Speaker 8: It's a great way. You can spend as much or
12:22
Speaker 8: as little as you want, and it's a great place
12:23
Speaker 8: to go when people watch, and you might win a
12:24
Speaker 8: few bucks.
12:25
Speaker 5: What's the wildest thing you've ever seen in the bingo hall?
12:30
Speaker 8: The wildest. Well, we did have one guy. We don't
12:35
Speaker 8: have issues anymore. We've had, in the past, I've been
12:38
Speaker 8: there a long time, we've had a couple of fights
12:40
Speaker 8: break out, and we have a Brazos County Sheriff's office,
12:44
Speaker 8: off-duty officer there, just about every shift. There's a reason
12:48
Speaker 8: for that. There's a reason for that. They don't have
12:51
Speaker 8: a bar or anything, but you can bring in, you know,
12:53
Speaker 8: if you want to bring in a couple beers or
12:54
Speaker 8: a couple, you know, wine or whatever, and we have
12:56
Speaker 8: a couple people that do that. We did have one
12:57
Speaker 8: gentleman come in, and he was not drinking. We'll just
13:01
Speaker 8: say that. He was intoxicated on a substance much heavier
13:04
Speaker 8: than alcohol, and he proceeded to let everybody in bingo
13:09
Speaker 8: know what he thought about not winning the last game
13:11
Speaker 8: and knocked over a table, and we had.
13:14
Speaker 1: To escort him out.
13:15
Speaker 5: This is bingo, not monopolies, right?
13:17
Speaker 6: Yes.
13:18
Speaker 8: No, they take it very seriously. We have this one
13:21
Speaker 8: game called Texas Three-Step. We call it crack on a card,
13:24
Speaker 8: and we could have 20 people there, and we could
13:25
Speaker 8: sell this game. It's crazy. And it's a three-in-one game.
13:29
Speaker 8: There's two $ 100 games and then a $ 500 main bonus point.
13:32
Speaker 8: So it's a $ 700 game. But these people, people that
13:35
Speaker 8: don't buy pull tabs will buy 20 or 30 of these.
13:38
Speaker 8: And we used to be able to get up and
13:40
Speaker 8: walk around the hall and try to buy from different
13:41
Speaker 8: floor attendants, et cetera. Well, Jason, the hall manager, he's
13:44
Speaker 8: been there for a long time. He set rules to
13:47
Speaker 8: guide these people, we'll just say. And they would get up,
13:49
Speaker 8: and there would be fisticuffs. I mean, they would be
13:51
Speaker 8: pushing people. It was absolutely crazy.
13:54
Speaker 5: Just to get this Texas three-step.
13:57
Speaker 1: I'm still fascinated by the language. I'm still completely confused
14:01
Speaker 1: by it.
14:02
Speaker 8: Again, without a visual aid, it's kind of hard to discuss. Oh, no,
14:04
Speaker 8: it's going to be very difficult for me to learn
14:06
Speaker 8: any of this. I'll play Bob Horserace. I know you
14:08
Speaker 8: take the marker, and when you call a number, you
14:11
Speaker 8: put it on. You can just go there and do that.
14:13
Speaker 5: The other thing with the mahjong is people have their
14:15
Speaker 5: own kits. Do you bring your own daubers for this?
14:17
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely.
14:18
Speaker 8: No, we've got people. They've got your own bingo kit.
14:20
Speaker 8: You may have 20 or 30 different daubers. They've got
14:23
Speaker 8: the little Buddha statues, the little trolls. We've got squeaky.
14:27
Speaker 5: Anything that brings you luck?
14:29
Speaker 8: That's what they think.
14:30
Speaker 5: What about the Maneke Neku? The little cat that's waving
14:33
Speaker 5: at you.
14:34
Speaker 8: You know, I don't think I've seen one of those,
14:36
Speaker 8: but I'm surprised.
14:37
Speaker 1: Will, don't.
14:37
Speaker 4: No.
14:38
Speaker 8: Oh, here we go. The rabbit. I was just... What
14:42
Speaker 8: about a rabbit foot? Can I bring a rabbit foot?
14:44
Speaker 8: I have seen rabbits. Yes, I have seen rabbits feet.
14:47
Speaker 1: You know what?
14:47
Speaker 5: I think you could bring him in, do the bit,
14:50
Speaker 5: and I don't think you would be the most unusual person.
14:52
Speaker 8: No, you wouldn't even stand out. You wouldn't even stand out.
14:56
Speaker 8: I could show you the table to sit at.
14:57
Speaker 9: All right.
14:58
Speaker 1: As long as nobody, you're trying to set me up, right?
15:00
Speaker 8: That's right.
15:00
Speaker 1: I'm going to need you to do that.
15:02
Speaker 5: Because we need to throw some of these ladies off
15:04
Speaker 5: their game.
15:05
Speaker 13: Yeah.
15:05
Speaker 5: I'm going to need them to miss a few. You
15:06
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying?
15:07
Speaker 8: That's right.
15:08
Speaker 2: Dude.
15:09
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for coming in.
15:10
Speaker 12: Absolutely.
15:11
Speaker 8: No, it was a pleasure. You definitely should.
15:13
Speaker 5: I'm going to post this online later, WTAW.com. So if
15:16
Speaker 5: you're joining us and we're, why are the boys talking
15:18
Speaker 5: about bingo? It'll make sense.
15:20
Speaker 10: Yeah.
15:20
Speaker 1: I think we have more discussions about bingo because I'm
15:24
Speaker 1: still twisted, man.
15:25
Speaker 5: I think we're going to have to get an event
15:26
Speaker 5: going out there.
15:27
Speaker 1: I think so.
15:28
Speaker 5: I think we get the game together. Have a nice
15:31
Speaker 5: little meet and greet.
15:31
Speaker 8: We can arrange that. We can arrange that for sure.
15:34
Speaker 5: We'll holler at you. We'll take a break and be
15:36
Speaker 5: back after this.
15:37

17:37
Speaker 1: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
17:39
Speaker 9: I was in a store and heard a child tell
17:41
Speaker 9: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
17:43
Speaker 9: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
17:46
Speaker 9: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
17:48
Speaker 9: received a competitor's bid, which was five to 10 times
17:51
Speaker 9: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
17:54
Speaker 9: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
17:58
Speaker 9: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
18:00
Speaker 9: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
18:05
Speaker 9: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
18:08
Speaker 9: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
18:11
Speaker 9: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
18:13
Speaker 9: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
18:15
Speaker 9: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
18:19
Speaker 9: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
18:22
Speaker 9: full-time employees. Why pay more if you can get everything
18:25
Speaker 9: you need at a fair price from a locally owned business?

18:37
Speaker 5: Good morning, guys. It's Labor Day. We're the Infomaniacs, and
18:43
Speaker 5: we are glad you're here today. Whether listening by the
18:46
Speaker 5: pit or just kind of... Or at work. I don't know.
18:50
Speaker 1: Your life. Right.
18:51
Speaker 5: 979-695-1620 is our phone number today. I... Again.
18:57
Speaker 5: Just vision board this with me. We get the listeners, you, me,
19:05
Speaker 5: maybe even Ben Downs.
19:06
Speaker 1: Maybe so.
19:07
Speaker 5: You know, maybe even Jeanette. Everyone goes and just has
19:11
Speaker 5: like a giant bingo night. It's obvious it goes to charity.
19:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a fantastic thing. My mind is
19:18
Speaker 1: still just, it's like a boiling cauldron trying to figure
19:22
Speaker 1: out all the language.
19:22
Speaker 2: So much terminology, man.
19:24
Speaker 5: Everything with, gamblers always have their own language for everything.
19:28
Speaker 5: It's like you're sitting in a poker room, like one
19:30
Speaker 5: of those real poker rooms, like you find in Houston
19:34
Speaker 5: or San Antonio. The sketch is anything. You just know
19:37
Speaker 5: you're going to walk in there and lose all of
19:39
Speaker 5: your money to some person who looks like they're built
19:44
Speaker 5: of leather.
19:45
Speaker 1: I've never experienced that.
19:48
Speaker 5: It's a bad day.
19:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:50
Speaker 5: I'll say this. There's a language. I could not be
19:54
Speaker 5: more enthusiastic.
19:55
Speaker 1: The other thing I'm thinking about is what bar that
19:59
Speaker 1: I could identify a slower night and talk into having
20:03
Speaker 1: A bingo night.
20:04
Speaker 5: Oh, disco bingo. You know, we've talked to some people
20:07
Speaker 5: about this.
20:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know some people. I've talked to some people
20:09
Speaker 1: about that.
20:10
Speaker 5: Did you see that they put together a list of
20:14
Speaker 5: the places you're most likely to get the wrong order
20:18
Speaker 5: back in fast food, and they did not include the
20:21
Speaker 5: one that was the obvious place that you have almost
20:26
Speaker 5: a 0% chance of getting. I'll give you the basics here.
20:32
Speaker 5: Good and bad. good shocking to no one is chick-fil-a
20:37
Speaker 5: of course no everyone knows chick-fil-a is gonna get it
20:40
Speaker 5: right most of the time but about seven percent of
20:42
Speaker 5: the time they get it wrong which actually got shocking
20:46
Speaker 5: to me i think that i don't know that i've
20:48
Speaker 5: had a wrong order from chick-fil-a.
20:50
Speaker 1: I have one time and it was it was easily
20:54
Speaker 1: corrected and it was i mean i was kind of
20:56
Speaker 1: shocked it's kind of one of those things that It's
20:59
Speaker 1: in your brain. You never expect it to happen.
21:01
Speaker 5: I don't know that I'd even know to ask them
21:03
Speaker 5: to correct it.
21:04
Speaker 1: I'd be like, what? I just called them up. Did I?
21:06
Speaker 5: Oh, you did?
21:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:07
Speaker 5: I'd have thought I got it wrong. Like, well, maybe
21:09
Speaker 5: I didn't say what I wanted correctly.
21:11
Speaker 1: And let me clarify. The order was not for me.
21:15
Speaker 6: Oh.
21:15
Speaker 1: Right. If you give me a wrong order, chances are
21:18
Speaker 1: good I'm not getting back in the card.
21:20
Speaker 19: Yeah.
21:21
Speaker 1: I might let you know about it. But whatever.
21:23
Speaker 20: Moving on.
21:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:25
Speaker 5: McDonald's also only messing up 7%. Really? McDonald's also almost
21:31
Speaker 5: impossible to get an order wrong.
21:32
Speaker 1: They've got a system.
21:33
Speaker 5: I will say this, though. If you want to, it
21:36
Speaker 5: is possible to get McDonald's to almost mess up every
21:40
Speaker 5: single time. And that's as soon as you try to
21:42
Speaker 5: make it your way. Anytime you try to modify something.
21:46
Speaker 1: Or those hacks where you ask for no salt fries.
21:49
Speaker 5: Some crazy thing.
21:50
Speaker 1: So that you get the fresh ones.
21:52
Speaker 5: That's how you lose.
21:54
Speaker 1: Anything outside of their system.
21:57
Speaker 5: It is a system. Play within the system. They will
22:01
Speaker 5: not mess up if you play within the system. Carl's Jr.
22:05
Speaker 5: parties also did very, very well. KFC Arby's, respectable. 11%
22:09
Speaker 5: of the time they're wrong. Taco Bell, which how do
22:14
Speaker 5: you get the wrong order at Taco Bell? There's only
22:17
Speaker 5: like three things left that they make.
22:20
Speaker 1: How can you tell it's the wrong order because it
22:23
Speaker 1: all tastes the same?
22:24
Speaker 5: It's the same food. Does it really count if they
22:28
Speaker 5: give you a burrito instead of a taco? It's the
22:30
Speaker 5: same food.
22:31
Speaker 1: It's all about textures with Taco Bell. The food is
22:34
Speaker 1: all the same. It's the level of crunch or chew.
22:38
Speaker 5: The level of crunch is the only thing. That varies.
22:43
Speaker 5: 15% of all Taco Bell orders are wrong.
22:45
Speaker 1: I mean, I think 10% is high.
22:47
Speaker 5: I looked in Raising Cane's. Another mystery of life. 12%
22:55
Speaker 5: of all Raising Cane's orders are incorrect. I ask you again.
22:58
Speaker 1: How many items do you have? You just have sizes, right?
23:02
Speaker 21: How?
23:02
Speaker 5: What's different about one order? What can you even model?
23:06
Speaker 5: I guess, okay, no slaw, double fries, and then you
23:09
Speaker 5: end up with slaw. Technically, they messed it up. I'll
23:12
Speaker 5: give you that. That is the same meal. There is
23:16
Speaker 5: one thing and one thing only, except for those guys
23:20
Speaker 5: that ordered the sandwich, which doesn't.
23:21
Speaker 1: Make any sense. No, but it's almost like that's getting
23:25
Speaker 1: close to a restaurant where there's just no menu and
23:28
Speaker 1: there's no box out there to talk to anybody. It's
23:31
Speaker 1: all the same, so just drive up. Tell them how
23:33
Speaker 1: many you want. Just wave.
23:36
Speaker 5: Sign the number of Tinders you want with your hand.
23:39
Speaker 5: Five Tinders.
23:40
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's fine.
23:41
Speaker 5: That's all that's needed.
23:43
Speaker 8: Yeah.
23:43
Speaker 1: Well, it gets complicated, though, if you get over 10. Yeah.
23:46
Speaker 1: And you have to take your shoes off.
23:49
Speaker 5: Is that what they do for the tailgate packs?
23:51
Speaker 1: I don't know.
23:51
Speaker 5: Anyway, so the one, I went and looked into this.
23:55
Speaker 5: I pulled the article. I pulled the data, because I
23:58
Speaker 5: found it impossible to believe That those would be the
24:00
Speaker 5: worst because there's obviously one that was not even– they
24:07
Speaker 5: didn't even look into it. They didn't even ask Popeyes
24:13
Speaker 5: or test Popeyes.
24:15
Speaker 1: Or Whataburger for that matter.
24:16
Speaker 5: Whataburger also, sadly.
24:19
Speaker 1: And I know that's very dependent on location here locally.
24:22
Speaker 5: No, I've had more issues with Whataburger orders recently than
24:27
Speaker 5: I would like to admit.
24:28
Speaker 1: Not just recently. I saw somebody actually throw the food
24:31
Speaker 1: back at the window. I think the third time they
24:33
Speaker 1: brought it out and it was wrong.
24:35
Speaker 5: The third time?
24:36
Speaker 1: Third time.
24:37
Speaker 5: The third time?
24:38
Speaker 1: Got out of the truck, chunked it at the window,
24:40
Speaker 1: drove off.
24:41
Speaker 5: Again, I'll throw it out one more time. Play within
24:48
Speaker 5: the system. But the problem is Whataburger's system is tell
24:53
Speaker 5: us whatever crazy contraption you come up with and we'll
24:57
Speaker 5: make it for you. That's where you lose.
24:59
Speaker 1: That's where you lose. And Popeye's, you call it Popeye's Roulette.
25:03
Speaker 1: Popeye's Roulette.
25:04
Speaker 5: And tell me I'm wrong. Every Popeye's experience... there is
25:11
Speaker 5: a 0% chance you will get back exactly what you ordered.
25:15
Speaker 5: 0% chance.
25:17
Speaker 1: There's a decent chance you're really going to like whatever
25:20
Speaker 1: it is.
25:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is. They're not going to be mad about it,
25:23
Speaker 5: but you're not getting exactly what you want. Now, the
25:26
Speaker 5: best one was the one that was in the gas station.
25:28
Speaker 5: I assume it's still there on William Joel Bryan. They
25:30
Speaker 5: would actually try to bargain with you.
25:32
Speaker 1: I think it recently closed. I think that whole gas
25:35
Speaker 1: station closed.
25:36
Speaker 5: What a shame. They would bargain with you. Hey, I
25:40
Speaker 5: don't have that. Can I give you an extra five biscuits?
25:43
Speaker 5: Or what if I give you a whole bag full
25:45
Speaker 5: of dipping sauce? Like they would try to level that.
25:49
Speaker 5: That was chef's kiss.
25:52
Speaker 1: That is a step away from the barter system. Right?
25:57
Speaker 1: It's almost bring your own chicken. BYOC, as they say.
26:02
Speaker 5: We talk news coming up right after this.
26:07
Speaker 18: This is Today in Texas History, brought to you by
26:10
Speaker 18: the Museum of the American G.I.
26:12
Speaker 22: On this day, September the 7th in 1866, federal soldiers
26:18
Speaker 22: under Major George Smith reportedly set fire and looted several
26:23
Speaker 22: stores in Brenham. The incident grew out of a controversy
26:27
Speaker 22: involving newspaper editor D.L. McGarry's frequent attacks on the local
26:33
Speaker 22: Freedmen's Bureau in the Brenham Manor. McGarry was arrested by
26:38
Speaker 22: federal authorities. After his release on September the 7th, three
26:42
Speaker 22: soldiers were shot during an altercation at a dance. Other
26:46
Speaker 22: soldiers returned to the scene, arrested two citizens, and set
26:50
Speaker 22: a fire that burned part of the town. The episode
26:53
Speaker 22: helped Brenham gain a reputation of the unreconstructed South. After
26:59
Speaker 22: lengthy hearings by both federal and state officials, the issue
27:03
Speaker 22: of the soldier's guilt remained unresolved. Though his conviction was
27:08
Speaker 22: overturned on appeal, he resigned his commission in 1869. Smith
27:13
Speaker 22: died in 1890.
27:14
Speaker 5: I bet you didn't know that.
27:18
Speaker 18: That was Today in Texas History, brought to you by

Speaker 11: says is facilitating funds for Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Pessin
29:38

Speaker 11: said in a letter that the government bonds holdings it
30:00

30:04
Speaker 11: and that would cut the Treasury holdings from 34% to 22%.

Speaker 1: DPS has increased presence on our roadways today. The Texas

Speaker 1: Attorney General's Office has tried to revisit a lawsuit against
37:57
Speaker 1: Pfizer over the COVID vaccine. Solicitor General Jonathan Stone says
38:02
Speaker 1: that Big Pharma should not be given immunity.
38:05
Speaker 5: This case is about whether the representations they made were false, deceptive,
38:10
Speaker 5: or misleading.
38:11
Speaker 1: And Texas may have found a sympathetic court. Multiple Fifth
38:14
Speaker 1: Circuit judges seem to agree that the federal judge who
38:17
Speaker 1: dismissed the case may have lacked jurisdiction. Federal prosecutors say

40:45
Speaker 5: Weather today is going to be hot. You were talking
40:47
Speaker 5: about getting into a hot tub, which I found dubious.
40:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking at that point in time, I
40:53
Speaker 1: could turn on the hot tub, and it would be
40:56
Speaker 1: warm when I got home. And I could get in
40:58
Speaker 1: it before the ambient temperature got hotter than any hot
41:02
Speaker 1: tub imaginable.
41:03
Speaker 5: So you were thinking you might be able to thread
41:05
Speaker 5: the needle on this hot tub session.
41:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not going to work out. For some reason,
41:08
Speaker 1: my app is not working right. Lame.
41:12

41:16

41:43
Speaker 5: You guys crack me up, Will. I think you said
41:46
Speaker 5: it right. Bring your own chicken. But hey, I'll tell
41:48
Speaker 5: you what, down in Louisiana, you can't be that Popeye's.
41:51
Speaker 5: That's the problem. If it was anywhere else other than Popeye's,
41:56
Speaker 5: I'd just turn my back on and be like, can't
41:58
Speaker 5: get my order right, whatever. Everything there is good.
42:01
Speaker 1: It's everything I've ever had from there.
42:03
Speaker 5: Everything there is good.
42:04
Speaker 1: And I wasn't talking about bring your own chicken and
42:06
Speaker 1: they would cook it. I was talking about like a
42:08
Speaker 1: chicken exchange program. Exactly. Where you bring a chicken in,
42:12
Speaker 1: they cook the last bird that was dropped off.
42:14
Speaker 5: And then a chicken is replaced.
42:15
Speaker 1: Chicken replacement.
42:16
Speaker 5: Thusly, everyone kind of gets their order.
42:19
Speaker 1: It's the food chain.
42:20
Speaker 5: Like if you show up asking wings and thighs, you're
42:22
Speaker 5: going to get legs and maybe shrimp. And I'm not
42:24
Speaker 5: going to complain about that. Because I got the Cajun potatoes,
42:27
Speaker 5: red beans and rice.
42:28
Speaker 1: Lord. You get those Cajun potatoes and that red beans
42:31
Speaker 1: and rice, and I don't really care about the chicken.
42:33
Speaker 5: Just give me a gallon of the red beans and rice.
42:35
Speaker 1: I made red beans and rice yesterday. Oh, did you?
42:37
Speaker 1: I did. Okay. Just because it's at the end of
42:41
Speaker 1: the shopping. We're at the dregs of what's left in
42:44
Speaker 1: the fridge and freezer. So it wasn't a red beans
42:47
Speaker 1: and rice weather.
42:48
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't. I don't even care. Red beans and rice,
42:54
Speaker 5: don't get me started. Oh, speaking of things to not
42:57
Speaker 5: get us started on, let's talk flock cameras for a
42:59
Speaker 5: hot minute.
43:00
Speaker 1: Oh, is this a controversial topic?
43:02
Speaker 5: I don't know. Well, you were telling me Florida was
43:05
Speaker 5: on the list.
43:05
Speaker 1: Pulling the list of they're removing license plate readers such
43:09
Speaker 1: as flock cameras from all state highways.
43:12
Speaker 2: As a state.
43:13
Speaker 1: All state highways. That doesn't mean that your local jurisdictions
43:17
Speaker 1: don't have them.
43:18
Speaker 5: But they're going to pull them off of where they
43:20
Speaker 5: can pull them off, basically.
43:21
Speaker 1: They just decided from the state, they're like, this is
43:24
Speaker 1: our jurisdiction. No, wait a minute. I am incorrect. They
43:29
Speaker 1: are also saying local law enforcement agencies have 30 days
43:33
Speaker 1: to take down the cameras.
43:34
Speaker 5: 30 days!
43:35
Speaker 1: Otherwise, the state will remove them.
43:38
Speaker 5: The state is going to... Guys, we were just talking
43:41
Speaker 5: about how like, you know, a month or two ago,
43:43
Speaker 5: how it was, you know, people were taking matters into
43:45
Speaker 5: their own hands. Florida is so Florida, the cops are
43:48
Speaker 5: going to help. Yeah.
43:50
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Although a good money-saving opportunity would just be
43:55
Speaker 1: to open it up to the general public. Yeah.
43:58
Speaker 5: Chop down a flock for, you know, pay us this
44:01
Speaker 5: much money, we'll let you go to town on it.
44:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
44:03
Speaker 5: Like an office space.
44:04
Speaker 1: In fact, we'll let you hang it on your wall
44:06
Speaker 1: like a trophy.
44:09
Speaker 5: Wouldn't that be a nice tax return?
44:10
Speaker 1: Right next to the Python.
44:11
Speaker 5: Just a solid, just a really solid mount. They're not
44:14
Speaker 5: the only ones. Knox County, Tennessee.
44:16
Speaker 10: Huh.
44:17
Speaker 5: Has made a decision to get rid of all flock cameras.
44:21
Speaker 5: It was the last bill signed by their mayor before
44:25
Speaker 5: he left office. Do you know the mayor of Knox County?
44:27
Speaker 1: I don't.
44:28
Speaker 5: The big red machine, Cain. from the WWE. I'm not kidding, guys.
44:34
Speaker 5: If you haven't watched wrestling for a minute, you might
44:37
Speaker 5: remember Kane, the quote-unquote Undertaker's brother, who would summon fire randomly.
44:43
Speaker 5: A Hall of Famer, hands down. His real name is
44:46
Speaker 5: Glenn Jacobs. He's been the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee,
44:50
Speaker 5: which is actually a pretty big area, Tennessee. And some
44:56
Speaker 5: say he might be eyeballing future elected office elsewhere uh
45:01
Speaker 5: which not unprecedented you know it's it's certainly not jesse
45:04
Speaker 5: ventura was a governor linda mcmahon is the by god
45:08
Speaker 5: checks notes education secretary for the united states of america
45:13
Speaker 5: didn't see that one coming no no not necessarily i
45:16
Speaker 5: believe uh the big red machine uh tombstone pile drove
45:20
Speaker 5: or education secretary at some point in time.
45:23
Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and check the tape. That
45:25
Speaker 1: may never be included in a history book, but it
45:27
Speaker 1: should be.
45:28
Speaker 5: The amount of Donald Trump's cabinet who have either taken
45:32
Speaker 5: a stunner from Stone Cold Steve Austin or taken a
45:36
Speaker 5: tombstone pile driver in WWE content is higher than you
45:41
Speaker 5: would think.
45:42
Speaker 1: Was it the president at one point in time? Didn't
45:45
Speaker 1: he do something to Jim McMahon?
45:47
Speaker 5: Yes, Vince McMahon.
45:49
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon. Jim McMahon was a quarterback.
45:52
Speaker 5: Donald Trump did square off with Vince McMahon in a
45:56
Speaker 5: kind of a billionaire's battle. I believe their hair was
45:59
Speaker 5: on the line. Vince lost because, get real, Donald wasn't
46:04
Speaker 5: going to offer up the hair. And so as part
46:07
Speaker 5: of that match, Donald Trump did, in fact... take the
46:11
Speaker 5: stone cold stunner from stone cold, Steve Austin. It was
46:15
Speaker 5: just marginally better than Vince's ability to take a stunner,
46:19
Speaker 5: which was not great, but still.
46:22
Speaker 1: Pretty good to be a real estate mogul. Pretty, you know,
46:25
Speaker 1: pretty good.
46:26
Speaker 5: He took a bump.
46:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.
46:26
Speaker 5: He said, I'm going to, I signed up. He's like,
46:28
Speaker 5: I'm going to do the thing. I expect to take
46:30
Speaker 5: a bump. That's a, that's saying something. So Knox County, Tennessee,
46:35
Speaker 5: getting rid of all flock hammers. And on top of that,
46:38
Speaker 5: Harris County, has just called for an emergency session to
46:46
Speaker 5: talk about flock cameras in the H. So with that said.
46:52
Speaker 1: That's... Hildago's doing that?
46:54
Speaker 5: No, no, no.
46:56
Speaker 9: Harris.
46:56
Speaker 1: Harris County. Houston. Houston. Linda Hildago. Lena. Lena.
47:02
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know. I don't know who it was.
47:05
Speaker 1: Lena's puppeteers have called for this?
47:09
Speaker 5: I would assume some of the other. Lena is one
47:11
Speaker 5: of many. on that board.
47:13
Speaker 1: Lena is not in her own head. She's one of many. Yeah.
47:17
Speaker 5: But, uh, but we'll see.
47:18
Speaker 1: We'll see. Well, I look at this point in time.
47:22
Speaker 5: Why is that surprising that Lena Hidalgo would want to
47:24
Speaker 5: get rid of flock hammers? No one likes them. Yeah. Not,
47:28
Speaker 5: I mean, at least not publicly. And again, I will,
47:30
Speaker 5: I will hedge my bets on this. I'm not saying
47:32
Speaker 5: they're not an amazing tool. I am not saying they
47:34
Speaker 5: can't solve some incredible crimes. It's just that no one
47:37
Speaker 5: likes them. They're unpopular.
47:40
Speaker 1: The public opinion, I believe, about two weeks ago, if
47:43
Speaker 1: not slightly earlier, reached the point where it was untenable
47:48
Speaker 1: for anybody to come out and support a flock cameras.
47:51
Speaker 1: Regardless of if they're good or not, no politician can
47:54
Speaker 1: come out now and say, oh, yeah, but really, you can't.
47:57
Speaker 5: No one wants to hear it. No one wants to
48:00
Speaker 5: hear it. You had a point where there was like
48:02
Speaker 5: a debate. It was like, okay, well, let's think about this.
48:04
Speaker 1: Now it's just.
48:06
Speaker 5: You know, the same thing happened with red light cameras
48:09
Speaker 5: back in the day.
48:10
Speaker 22: All right.
48:10
Speaker 1: I think everybody was pretty much upset about those.
48:13
Speaker 19: Yes.
48:14
Speaker 5: It's the exact same. People don't people don't like this
48:18
Speaker 5: kind of thing. Whether it's useful or not, they just
48:21
Speaker 5: tend to not like it.
48:23
Speaker 1: I'm kind of proud that as a society we have
48:25
Speaker 1: come together to rise up against this. But on the
48:28
Speaker 1: other hand, I completely see from the law enforcement end
48:31
Speaker 1: of things how valuable this is. And if you mean
48:33
Speaker 1: to tell me that the abduction of some child was
48:37
Speaker 1: solved by a flock camera and it was resolved in
48:40
Speaker 1: a way that the victim was not harmed? Yeah.
48:43
Speaker 5: It's hard for me to argue against that.
48:44
Speaker 1: Hard to.
48:45
Speaker 5: It's really hard to. Again, you want that type of
48:48
Speaker 5: thing solved.
48:49
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to come down on either side
48:52
Speaker 1: of the fence for or against, but I will say
48:54
Speaker 1: that right now it is an untenable situation for a
48:58
Speaker 1: politician to come out in favor of flock cameras.
49:01
Speaker 5: I think some politician needs to jump on the grenade
49:03
Speaker 5: with this one and do exactly what you said.
49:05
Speaker 2: Really?
49:06
Speaker 5: And here's why. There's so few things that give us
49:08
Speaker 5: national unity anymore. Like, I mean, so few things. Oh,
49:11
Speaker 5: so we need a villain. We need someone to keep
49:14
Speaker 5: this going because this is one of the only things
49:16
Speaker 5: that is uniting Americans in this country right now.
49:18
Speaker 1: I've got the perfect candidate. and it'll be a celebrity-type endorsement. Hi,
49:24
Speaker 1: I'm Lane Kiffin for Flock Cameras.

52:32
Speaker 5: We talked about that.
52:33

52:44
Speaker 5: You ain't got anything to do.
52:45
Speaker 13: No.
52:46
Speaker 5: Now the question is, which beer do you choose? Which,
52:48
Speaker 5: you know, is always divisive. Um, Because now you've got
52:53
Speaker 5: a million of them. Used to be you really choose
52:55
Speaker 5: between like five or six brands.
52:57
Speaker 1: Pretty much, yeah.
52:57
Speaker 5: Now it's hundreds, if not thousands, of brews. So who
53:02
Speaker 5: stacks up as America's favorite Bev?
53:05
Speaker 1: Well, there is a company called Interbody that took a
53:08
Speaker 1: year's worth of Google Trends data across all 50 states
53:12
Speaker 1: and Washington, D.C.
53:13
Speaker 5: Okay.
53:13
Speaker 1: And they actually put it through a pretty scientific process.
53:17
Speaker 1: All right. And narrowed it down to 36 brands.
53:20
Speaker 1: They're looking for searches tied to these beer names, but
53:23
Speaker 1: only about beer. So if you were going to look
53:25
Speaker 1: up the Budweiser Clydesdales, they took that out. Very smart.
53:30
Speaker 1: Very smart. They examined regional patterns. They weighted searches by
53:34
Speaker 1: overall volume. They produced what they called an interest index.
53:38
Speaker 13: Right.
53:38
Speaker 1: And this is what they came up with. Let's go.
53:41
Speaker 1: America's most popular beers. The top 10 are No. 10 Corona, No.
53:46
Speaker 1: 9 Blue Moon, Belgian White, No. 8 Miller Lite. Number seven,
53:51
Speaker 1: Bush Light. Number six, Coors Light.
53:53
Speaker 5: Bush Light's having a moment, y'all.
53:54
Speaker 1: Number five, my Guinness. Budweiser in at four. Stella Artois
54:01
Speaker 1: in at three.
54:02
Speaker 5: Stella Artois.
54:03
Speaker 13: Yeah.
54:04
Speaker 1: Still considered one of the best beers out there by most. Okay. Although,
54:08
Speaker 1: it's okay. I don't crave a Stella.
54:11
Speaker 5: I don't know anyone that, yeah, just. It just goes
54:14
Speaker 5: to the Stella immediately.
54:16
Speaker 1: I don't know. Bud Light and Michelob Ultra at two
54:19
Speaker 1: and one.

54:38
Speaker 5: That's... I don't know what's going on with it. Sam,
54:42
Speaker 5: I always thought was a pretty... It's a well-marketed beer.
54:45
Speaker 5: It was well-marketed. I think that might be their problem
54:48
Speaker 5: is they've kind of fallen off.
54:50
Speaker 1: Sierra Nevada in at 34. Harp in at 35. And
54:56
Speaker 1: rounding out the bottom, Milwaukee's Beast at 36. Milwaukee's Best.
