  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. Brazos

  Speaker 1: County Commissioner's Court met yesterday to discuss the county's budget
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and tax rate. Commissioners approved the $ 482 million budget by
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a vote of 4-1, with Commissioner Bentley Nettles opposing. Here's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Commissioner Chuck Condola on the tax rate.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: The county is 25% of your tax bill, and I've
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: seen a yearly approach to budgeting in the past, which
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: can cause a rollercoaster effect. No new revenue was forced
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: on the county, and $ 24 million was pulled out of
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: reserve that year. It wasn't planned for. Where would we
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: be today setting a rate had that not happened, had
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: we prepared for it?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Commissioners did not adopt the proposed tax rate of 44.84
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: cents per $ 100 valuation. Instead, going with Commissioner Condola's motion
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to adopt a slightly lower tax rate of 44.34. The
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: rate was approved by a vote of 3-2. with Commissioners
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Nettles and Brown voting against. Commissioners also voted to enact
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a burn ban. Outdoor burning is prohibited in Brazos County.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Burleson County is now the only county in the Brazos
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Valley to have not adopted a burn ban. The Snook
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Volunteer Fire Department took to social media to encourage lawmakers
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to rethink that decision. The family of a Texas A
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: & M pharmacy student who died in May is scheduled
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to meet with the Brazos County District Attorney's Office this morning.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: 22-year-old Caden Crowe died on May 2nd after he was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: shot in the abdomen by his roommate, 23-year-old Charlie Boggan,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in their Bryan apartment. Boggan was never arrested, and a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Brazos County grand jury declined to hand down an indictment
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: against him. The Crowe family wants to know if all
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the information was presented to the grand jury. The details
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: around the shooting recently came to light after an investigation
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: by Houston journalist Wayne Dosolfino. Bryan police can be heard
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on body cam discussing how Boggan was super intoxicated that night.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Boggan admitted to having several drinks prior to handling the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: weapon at 3 o'clock in the morning. Despite that, Boggan
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was never asked to submit a breathalyzer or blood alcohol analysis.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: He was never even taken into custody for questioning. Crow's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: family filed a civil lawsuit against Charlie Boggan and his parents,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Tricia and Craig Boggan, for wrongful death. An inmate at
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the Brazos County Jail has a new charge after she
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: was found with contraband in her cell. 41-year-old Christina Allen
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of Houston has been held on $ 75, 000 bond since February
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: after she was charged with felony mail theft. According to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: jail records, another inmate reported that Allen was concealing a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: vape in her bunk. After a search, officers found a vape,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a charger, and other prohibited items in her pillow. She
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: claims she found the items near the dumpsters. Allen was
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: charged with possession of a prohibited item in a correctional facility,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and another $ 15, 000 was added to her bond. Former Dallas
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Mavericks owner and Shark Tanker Mark Cuban was at the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: state capitol Tuesday pushing ways to make pharmaceutical drugs cheaper.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Patient-led shopping was step one of his plan.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: If someone's insurance says a prescription costs $ 500, but they
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: can buy the exact same drug for $ 100 cash, let
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: them buy it for $ 100.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: This would promote competition and lower prices, but it would
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: also be an incentive.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Then credit that $ 100 towards their deductible and out-of-pocket maximum
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: wherever Texas has authority to do so.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Cuban testified before the Statehouse Healthcare Affordability Committee. More news
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on the way at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com. I'm
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: So, so irritated. I'm just so annoyed. I don't even
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: want to read this, this garbage I have in front
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: of me. They're still giving us a 60% chance of rain?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, sure.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I guess it probably helps if you live.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Bit yeast of us yeah yeah maybe maybe.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Peace i i i am i am zero percent.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Confident i bought new white shoes yesterday oh look at
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you some nice brooks and wore them this morning because
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: i knew that it was not going to rain.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Going going trying to break in the brooks.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know what else irritated me yesterday?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I think it's a safe bet, Will.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I think so, too. You know what else irritated me
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: about the storm yesterday? So I'm running some errands, and occasionally,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: even though I pretty well know where I'm going, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: will put it in the GPS just to monitor traffic
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. Yeah, always smart. Find a better route.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Always a fan of that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Everything I put in yesterday, the GPS popped up and said,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: your route may be affected by a tropical storm, Edward. No,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be. I beg to differ.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Hey, are you sure you want to get out in this?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if you knew, but there's
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: a tropical storm that's right around. Are you sure? You
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: could have eaten dinner on the patio last night. Could
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: have played full 18 holes yesterday. Would have been pretty nice, actually.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Pretty nice evening.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: It was a nice evening.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Just no rain.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Now, to be fair, the temperatures are going to be
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit lower, and I'll take that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I am disappointed about the rain.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, y'all are. This is silly.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: This is.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: This is enraging, is what it is. Just not a fan.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I am now translating the German on this song, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it's the rock you like a hurricane is not like
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: rock and roll. It's like rock you to sleep. There
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: we go. Rock you to sleep.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Today, yeah, 60% chance of rain for whatever that's worth.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: And then getting up to a high of a little
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: bit warmer than we thought yesterday. 94, but that's that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: No, I'll take it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: 94. Tonight, another 60% chance of rain down to the
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: low 70s. 40% chance of rain tomorrow, high around 93. Friday,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: they're going to drag a 30% chance of rain into
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: our forecast on Friday in the afternoon. Highs once again, 90s.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: And then Saturday, we've got a game day forecast, y'all.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: And it's going to have a 20% chance of showers
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and thunderstorms after 1 p.m. Don't worry about that. That
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: is not going to be a problem. The highs in
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the low 90s are going to be a great thing.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Could be a lot worse.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: We can all live with that. Yeah, if you had
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: to pick, no one's going to have to face 105
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: on the first game at Kyle. Still going to be hot. Yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: not that bad. Weather brought to you by Malik Service
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Company and the Texas Heat. Your air conditioner works overtime,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: but a well-tuned AC will save you money. Keep you comfortable.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Turn to the experts at Malik and Carrier to keep
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. I'm glad that. Honestly,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: at some level, the weather was pretty good yesterday, even
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: though your GPS was telling you to seek shelter because
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: of the death storm.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: That was bearing down on us. I was in peril.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Great peril.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Because I don't know what you would have done if
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: you couldn't celebrate your puppy's birthday.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Well, today is the puppy's birthday.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's today?
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Yesterday was the birthday.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: No, yesterday.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: We've got action today.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Action today, although we kind of celebrated yesterday. Annie went
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to the spa.
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And she got her little do. I got her nails done.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Got her little teeth brushed. Got her bass. She's super
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: soft now. Super soft. But she did that and she
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: got a new, she likes those antlers, right? That dogs
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: chew on. And it's funny because those are made for
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a lot bigger dogs.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: That's what I was about to ask. Those are known
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: as like serious chews. That's like if you have a
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: dog that will go through anything, you get one of
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: them antlers.
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Well, she loves them. So I got her one of those. Okay.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Got her a new football-shaped toy, which she really likes, too. Okay, okay.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: She got a little extra scratchings yesterday.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Did she get her presents early?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Is that what she did? Yeah, because, you know, we
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: were at the America's Country store.
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And I'll say that because they're great advertisers. Oh, no,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they're awesome. They're fantastic people. So she was getting her
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: stuff done there. And in the process, I go to,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know, go ahead and buy the food for her.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I might as well go pick up the other things, too.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Just all in one trip. And if you got them.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you're not going to make her wait the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: extra day. I'm not that guy. Oh, look at you.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: You're just not going to. Not with those eyes looking
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: back up at you.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: No. It's the ears more than the eyes.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Do you prepare her a special meal?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: No, not at all.
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: No?
• 8:17
  Speaker 11: No.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And the youngest daughter was like, oh, we need to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: get her a puppy cake tomorrow. I'm like, no, she doesn't.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Annie has no concept of the calendar. I hate to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: tell people that she does not know it's her birthday.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: A cake would just mean a lot more mess in
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the future for me to clean up.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: And it gives her the idea that this is something
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: that could happen regularly.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So no, we're not going to encourage that kind
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of behavior.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Text message from David. Maybe this isn't actually an Aggie
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: bowl instead of an Aggie dome because of the two
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: river basins we lie in between. Is he, is he,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: brainstorms why God has forsaken us.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I have had a long-held theory about the fact that
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: we sit in the valley between two rivers, the Navasota
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and the Brazos. And storms tend to, like tornadic activity,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: we have it, but certainly not as bad as other places,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: skip over us. And that's where I think I think
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that there may be some correlation.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: That's true. We always complain about the dome slash bowl,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: your case, David, but there are pluses.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: There are pluses.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I'm struggling minus the tornado thing, but I'm sure there
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: are others. Maybe we should be grateful in some regard.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: There's lots of historical pluses. There's lots of agricultural pluses.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: But from a weather perspective, no, I can't really think
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of any.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: To not crunch, y'all.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Too late.
• 9:44
  Speaker 12: When it comes to insurance, experience matters.
• 9:46
  Speaker 13: Experience with people, experience getting it right, and experience serving

• 11:52
  Speaker 4: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. We're the Info Maniacs. We should have
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: just done the show outside today.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: We could have.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: We could have done it on the porch, like downstairs.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It would have been great. Beautiful out there.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a nice little bit of a breeze.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I have no fear. No fear that we would be
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: able to get to 9 a.m. without any, any actionable
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: precipitation falling.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: From the sky. Not going to happen. And I might
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: be trying to use reverse psychology on it, but I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: might not. We'll see.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Reasons to celebrate today. It is the second day of
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: September 2026. We are less than five days away from
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: fine Texas Aggie football. Heck yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more excited today than I was yesterday.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I started to warm up a little bit. Again,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: we should mention that a record 41,000 tickets were pulled
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: yesterday by students. That apparently never happened before.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: That is wild. That's crazy. Well, we've got more students.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's true. More kids equals more tickets. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: it should be a heck of a time. If you
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: need something to cheer you up today, I will give
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: you a holiday that I am only acknowledging for you.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Grits for breakfast day.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, grits are breakfast food.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: A day to celebrate one of the South's defining foods. Obviously,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: we all know grits. I don't need to explain grits.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I will tell you that the great cultural divide is sugar.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: The one of the most divisive things in the grit world.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Where do you stand on sugar and grits?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Look, I haven't had sugar and grits before. Maybe since
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, and I hated grits when I
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: was a kid.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: This is a more recent development, my love, for shrimp
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and grits.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And therefore, there's no sugar involved there. That's true. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that this past weekend, I did
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: have a big heaping bowl of shrimp and grits. Yeah, man.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And I got it. They had Gouda grits.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Where was this?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It is another broken egg. It is my.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: They had Gouda grits?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Dude, that shrimp and grits is... Perhaps my favorite.
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: Gouda grits?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's so good. The city grits. You've got to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: get the city grits. All right.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Okay. But yeah, I mean, obviously, now, cream of wheat? Yeah,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: sugar all day, baby.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nasty. Sugar all day.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I used to eat a little cream of wheat back
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: when I was a kid. My parents tried to pass
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: the love of that down to me. Didn't stick.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: You really think your parents loved it?
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I think it's a, I swear it came from like
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: dad and dad got it from his dad and his
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: father before. Apparently we were eating.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Cream of wheat. I used to eat awful breakfast. Now
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you're going to eat awful breakfast too.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Keep in mind, one of the, grandpa was in the
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Great Depression.
• 14:24
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Grandpa grew up in a shack with a dirt floor.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: He got bit by a rattlesnake at 12. Like, so
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: this dude, yeah, cream of wheat was probably... High living.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That's some good cream of wheat right there.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that cream of wheat got passed down to Dad.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Dad's like, you know what? Maybe my son will also
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: share this cream.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: That gene skipped, right? Yeah, okay.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: It is VJ Day, Victory Over Japan Day, September 2nd,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: marking the formal end of World War II.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: My grandfather, speaking of grandfathers, World War II veteran, airborne.
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: Pacific.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Airborne. Okay. His unit was assigned to fly into Tokyo
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and disarm... 10,000 Japanese troops at the airport right after
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the surrender was signed. Holy cow. And it's unfortunate all
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of his records were burned. There was a big fire
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in military records up in Michigan or someplace up there.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And so all of his records were lost. However, at
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the end of his life, I was going through some
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: old sheds, and I found a couple of things that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: he had brought back. First of all, he brought back
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: two silk parachutes. Because you couldn't get silk here, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: he was worried that my mother would not have a
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: wedding dress or that sort of thing.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: So he grabbed a few from the stock and said, hey,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: these can be repurposed.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: He did bring back a couple of firearms and a sword,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: as they did.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing unusual there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: The cool thing that I found was a wooden box
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: full of all of the correspondence between him and my
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: grandmother from when he was in the Philippines all the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: way through. Seriously?
• 15:50
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Pretty cool. Still have his dog tag hanging in my office.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you this. The thing I wish we had
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: the technology we have today about 20 years ago, maybe 30,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: but probably 20 years ago, because now it is so
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: easy to record people. If you want to sit down
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and anyone can, if you've got a phone, you can
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: prop it up in the corner. You can sit down,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: you can have a conversation with someone and basically get that,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: get it all on recording back. Then it was a
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: little bit more difficult. A lot of good stories. A
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: lot of good stories have gone away because, frankly, there
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: are just not a lot of those guys left. I mean,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: there's a handful of these guys. They're still walking around. And, yeah,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: every one of them has a wild, wild story. It
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: is also Spalding Baseball Day, Will, commemorating Albert Goodwill Spalding.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: He was born right around 1850. He was a professional
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: baseball player. They decided to come up with a sporting
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: goods company and boom, off to the race.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Got the ball.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was a famous. He was a famous starting pitcher.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. I don't know.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: I guess he was throwing a rock.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Well, they had the baseball. He just got a sporting
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: goods company and he put the ball out and it
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: was a good ball.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Distributed it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And he had his connections with the league. And so, therefore,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: he got the ball in the league, I guess. Highly successful.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Abner Doubleday was the guy that actually invented the ball, apparently.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: And Spalding was the dude that was, like, vouched for him.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Doubleday was the guy that invented. Abner Doubleday. Wasn't that
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the guy that invented basketball?
• 17:20
  Speaker 14: No.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Is that?
• 17:22
  Speaker 16: No.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Naismith, right?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Naismith is basketball.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Doubleday is the baseball. What do we have in birthdays?
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: In birthdays today, let's see here. Amy Osborne is 43.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: The secret Osborne. The secret Osborne. Yeah, the oldest daughter.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: She refused to go on the show. She doesn't like publicity. However,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: now she's a synth pop artist that goes by the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: name Aro.
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: Is she?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: A-R-O.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Did not know that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 17:47
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Cat Williams is 55 today. The often arrested comedian. Funny guy, though.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Hilarious.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Salma Hayek is 60 today.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: That's stupid. That is stupid.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: What's stupid?
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense. It does not calculate to me
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: that she's 60 years old.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: She is simply a very attractive woman.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: That is nuts.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Lennox Lewis is 61, the Boxing Hall of Famer. Keanu
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Reeves is 62. Who would have thought that he would
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: have gone from Ted Theodore Logan and Bill and Ted
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to John Wick?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: To be one of the most respected, legitimately respected, The
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: most respected actors in Hollywood. No one has a problem with.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Everybody loves him. No one. His life story is tragic.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: The ability that he's had to smile through it and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: get through it. True. One of my favorite things about
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: him is that when the John Wick stuff was getting going, right,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: he wanted to be more realistic. So he started taking
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: up three gun competitions, which is a tactical shooting competition. Right.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Go look at the videos of him training. It's not
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: just training. He competes and he's good.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: He can light it up.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: So all of that stuff that you see, all the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: tactical reloads and everything else that go on in the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: John Wick universe, that is all actual. And he is
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: trained in order to be able to do that. The
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: videos are on YouTube and they are stunning. Eric Dickerson
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: is 66 years old today. No word as to whether
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: or not he still has the gold Trans Am.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: It's somewhere. I guarantee you it's somewhere.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Steve Peccaro is 69. Keyboardist from Toto. Linda Pearl is 71.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: This was Fonzie's girlfriend, Ashley, in the final years of
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Happy Days. She's done some other things, and currently, since
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the COVID years, she's been attached romantically to Patrick Duffy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 16: Oh.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: There you go. Jimmy Connors is 74. The Tennis Hall
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of Famer, Mark Harmon, 75. Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw is 78. Still working, man.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: He hadn't lost a step yet.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Not yet.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Not, not on. I think it's, he's getting up there.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, he didn't have a lot of
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: steps to begin with. I mean, he was never known
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: as the brightest bulb in the tree, right?
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: He's going to end up being one of the most legendary.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, far more legendary as a sportscaster.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: You think I know I, I, I, No, no, I know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I'm one of the greatest players of all time. But
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I was raised watching that guy talk about football.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I was raised watching that guy play football.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he's still going. And Jimmy Johnson. Double J
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: is still out there doing great things.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: You know the story about Terry Bradshaw and Phil Robertson?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know that I do. Wait, no, yes, I do.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they were both quarterbacks here in Louisiana at
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the same time. And Phil decided he was going to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: not vie for the starting position because he wanted to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: go duck hunting. And the starting position was given to
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's a rest in peace, Phil.
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's something you just tell people to
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: avoid the conversation that you were going to get absolutely
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: smoked by that kid.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: No, no. Phil was the man.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: But did, did Terry, did Terry vouch for him on this?
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Terry said, absolutely. Terry said, I didn't have a chance
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: against Phil Roberts.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Phil just didn't love the game.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: It wasn't my thing, but I could, but I could
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: crush at it. I would rather be out in the swamp.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: And because he made that choice, it gave, Terry Bradshaw,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: a chance to shine. If he didn't, maybe history would
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: have been different.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And Phil did all right for himself. Phil did do
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: very well for him. One to report from the dead
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: category is Krista McAfee. The school teacher died in the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Challenger explosion. She was born on the state of 1948.
• 21:39

  Speaker 6: wireless customers, PureTalk was the only wireless company out there
• 23:03

• 23:47
  Speaker 4: of you guys are like, hey, guys, have faith. Have
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: faith it can still happen. Might still get some rain.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that, man.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: What do we have on the radar?

  Speaker 1: I'll pull up the color of the weather radar.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Pull me up something. Pull me up some hope. Pull
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: me up something to tell me we're not just going
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: to get shortchanged. dry-sided by this thing.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: No, we're not going to get any rain.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Today, mid-90s, which is pretty dang good. A little breezy,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: which will be also pretty nice. 60% chance of rain,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: they say. Maybe even as much as an inch. But
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I think that really applies most to people that are
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: on the eastern edge of the listening audience. You're listening
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: to us in Huntsville. Hey, completely different story.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Huntsville is going to get a shower here in a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: little bit. Just the eastern side of Huntsville.
• 24:30
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Just the eastern something.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: That's right where it.

• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Parts of Huntsville.

• 24:40
  Speaker 4: rain as we get to the weekend. Tomorrow, keeping a
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: 40% chance of a shower in there. The highs are
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: going to stay in the low to mid-90s. That's great.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: We're going to keep a 30% chance of rain pretty
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: much until, you know, Aggie game day. Take the low temperatures.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Call that a win. But I'm going to be salty
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: for a long time. Long, long time. At least if
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: you're in the Bryan College Station area.
• 25:04

• 25:49
  Speaker 9: above what we paid last year. and 20 cents above
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: what the record has been so far.
• 25:56
  Speaker 21: That was Tom Closa, chief energy analyst at Gulf Oil.
• 25:59
  Speaker 21: Employers posted slightly more job openings in July, but the
• 26:02
  Speaker 21: American labor market remained sturdy in the face of higher costs.
• 26:06
  Speaker 21: The Labor Department reports that job openings ticked up to
• 26:09
  Speaker 21: nearly 7.3 million in July. Futures have dropped this morning

  Speaker 1: Does your sewing machine go clankety-clank or bang, bang, bang, bang?
• 27:53
  Speaker 20: If it does, you need to come on down to
• 27:54
  Speaker 20: Sovac City. Sovac City has been repairing sewing machines in
• 27:57
  Speaker 20: the Brazos Valley for almost.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: 30 years now.
• 27:59
  Speaker 20: We can fix most any home sewing machine from the
• 28:02
  Speaker 20: most simple to the big computerized embroidery machines. At Sovac City,
• 28:05
  Speaker 20: we stock thousands of parts so we can get your
• 28:07
  Speaker 20: machine back to you in a timely manner.

  Speaker 1: We also guarantee our work. If it isn't right, we'll
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: make it right. Wonder if we're really that good?
• 28:14
  Speaker 20: Ask your neighbor. We probably fixed hers. Sovac City on
• 28:16
  Speaker 20: the feeder road between Deacon and Rock Prairie. Come on
• 28:18
  Speaker 20: down and see us.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. Brazos
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: County Commissioner's Court met Tuesday to discuss the county's budget
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and tax rate. County Judge Dwayne Peters calls for the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: vote on the proposed budget at $ 482 million.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: We've got a motion and a second to approve the
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: budget as proposed.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: All in favor, raise your right hand.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Opposed?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Okay. So we've got, it's four to one. Commissioner Bentley
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Nettles was the only nay. The proposed tax rate before
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the court was 44.84 cents per $ 100 valuation. This is
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: what Commissioner Fred Brown had to say.
• 29:02
  Speaker 24: I've been diametrically opposed to anything more than the no
• 29:06
  Speaker 24: new revenue rate. And I will continue to be that way. And,
• 29:11
  Speaker 24: you know, I'm lucky. I'm a benefactor of my own
• 29:13
  Speaker 24: legislation as far as the senior tax freeze is concerned.
• 29:16
  Speaker 24: And that saves my wife and I some money because
• 29:18
  Speaker 24: our Taxes are frozen for the county and the city,
• 29:22
  Speaker 24: but it doesn't help my kids, it doesn't help my neighbors,
• 29:25
  Speaker 24: it doesn't help a lot of people in this county
• 29:27
  Speaker 24: that every year they see their taxes go up.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Chuck Condolo moved to adopt a slightly lower tax rate
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: of 44.34. That rate was approved by a vote of
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: 3-2 with commissioners... and Brown voting against. Commissioners also voted
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to enact a burn ban. Outdoor burning is prohibited in
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Brazos County. Burleson County is now the only county in
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the Brazos Valley to have not adopted a burn ban.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: And the Snook Volunteer Fire Department took to social media
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: to encourage lawmakers to rethink that decision. The family of
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Caden Crow, a 22-year-old Texas A & M pharmacy student
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: who died after suffering a gunshot wound to his abdomen,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: held a press conference yesterday. The press conference was hosted
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: by longtime investigative journalist Wayne Dulcefino.
• 30:13
  Speaker 15: It's weird because there was no coverage of it in
• 30:18
  Speaker 15: the local media.
• 30:19
  Speaker 19: One of the weird reactions is I had no idea
• 30:22
  Speaker 19: this had happened.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: And he's right. We, the media, had no way of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: knowing about Crow's death because the man who shot him
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: was never arrested. Dulcifino recently released the results of his investigation.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Crow was shot by his roommate, Charlie Boggan, who said
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: he was cleaning his gun at 3 o'clock in the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: morning on May 2nd after admittedly drinking. Had Boggan been arrested,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: all of the local media outlets would have seen the
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: arrest record and reported the newsworthy story accordingly. The Crow
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: family wants justice for Caden. After a grand jury declined
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to indict Boggan, they want to know if all the
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: currently available evidence was presented. They are scheduled to meet
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: with the Brazos County District Attorney's Office at 9 o'clock
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: this morning. Crowe was honored alongside eight other Aggies at
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: last night's Silver Taps. Texas A & M University police
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: are warning fans about buying sports passes from third parties.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: They say to be wary if someone asks for a
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: picture of your student ID or other IDs. The 12-Man
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Foundation is the official ticket seller and SeatGeek is the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: official reseller. Another police officer has been charged with misuse
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: of flock camera data. The officer from Amarillo has been
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: charged with 78 counts of tampering.
• 31:34
  Speaker 16: Christian Eder is accused of using the system to track
• 31:37
  Speaker 16: a man who had dated a fellow officer, an officer
• 31:40
  Speaker 16: whom Eder was also interested in. According to KVII, that
• 31:44
  Speaker 16: man and the female officer had stopped seeing each other
• 31:47
  Speaker 16: when Eder began tracking him through the flock system. Eder
• 31:50
  Speaker 16: allegedly searched the cameras 76 times for the victim's license
• 31:54
  Speaker 16: plate between February and June, and with no police cases
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: or assignments connected to any of the searches. He was
• 32:00
  Speaker 16: fired from the Amarillo department in July. Each count of
• 32:03
  Speaker 16: tampering is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to
• 32:07
  Speaker 16: a year in jail, a $ 4, 000 fine, or both. I'm

• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Texas cattlemen are strongly pushing back against the president's plan
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: to temporarily waive tariffs on up to 300,000 metric tons
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: of imported ground beef.
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: The going rate for ground beef, according to federal figures,
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: is $ 6. 89 per pound. On the American ranches where that
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: meat comes from.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: There's definitely a crisis when it comes to cattle right now.
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: Michigan cattle raiser Kevin Minney says that allowing cheaper imported
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: beef into the market may eventually lower prices for consumers.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, the overall herd size in
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: the United States is the lowest that has been since 1951.
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: He says the imports may hamper efforts to grow that herd.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: That's TSN's Jim Ryan reporting. Texas is kicking the tires
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: on its new immigration law that has been found unconstitutional
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: by a federal judge twice. Texas Senate Bill 4 makes
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: unauthorized entry from a foreign country a state misdemeanor. and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: gives local judges power to deport those found guilty.
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: We have seen some enforcement.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I would say a small number of cases, mostly in
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: border counties. These cases appear to be initiated by DPS.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Caro Rivera Nelson is an attorney with the ACLU of Texas.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: She disagrees with Governor Abbott's claim that allowing local police
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: to arrest those suspected of entering illegally will make Texans safer.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: It actually takes police officers away from their actual job,
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: which is keep criminals off the streets, and instead puts
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: them in the hands of playing pretend ICE officers.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Senate Bill 4 was struck down twice in federal court,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: but reinstated on appeal. That appeals court will hear arguments
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: on the latest ACLU lawsuit next year. More news on
• 33:49

  Speaker 4: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys. We're the Infomaniacs. 979-695-1620 is our
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: phone number today. Weather, we've hit this a few times. Overall,
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: 60% chance of rain today. Low 90s, mid 90s maybe
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: for highs.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Not bad.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: If you're in Bryan College Station expecting to get any rain,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: I just don't see it. I just don't. You know,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: I'd love to be surprised tonight down to the 70s,
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: and we'll rinse and repeat all the way through Friday.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: The further we get towards weekend, less rain chances, but
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: the temperatures are going to stay in the mid-90s, at
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: least through Saturday, which is great news. Weather brought to
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: you by Malik Service Company. In the Texas heat, your
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: air conditioner works over time. But a well-tuned AC will
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: save you money and keep you comfortable. Turn to the
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: experts at Malick and Carrier to keep your AC running properly.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Malick, feel the difference. Now, there are places like just
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: northwest of Silby, between Silby and Warren, 15-plus inches.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: That's what I was seeing.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Crazy amount of rain for East Texas. But for us, again,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: just the way it goes.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Apparently, they just don't like to share. No, they don't.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: And it's also moving very slowly, so I'm actually going
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: to keep going on those totals.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: It's parking there. Crazy.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about some fun and games in Houston, Texas
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: for a minute. This is a news story I saw
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: when I got here this morning, and I'm just going
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: to play it for you because this is, and I
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: know some of this is probably going to be very
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: important to see the video. I will probably find a
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: way to try to share it with you guys, but enjoy.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: Imagine you order food online, your food gets there, and
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: the delivery driver is naked, just out there, double-cheeked up. Well,
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: that's exactly what happened to one man in northeast Houston.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Double-cheeked up, as the kids say, for this.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Particular— That phrase is new to me.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Well, it is. This is Fox 26. They're going for
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: a vibe.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: They're using all the lingo that the hip kids are
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: using these days.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Exactly, exactly.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: Leslie Della Sport joining us now with this story.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, Leslie, where do I even start with this one?
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: It's crazy. That's where we start.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: It's just crazy.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: When, you know, when I received the message about the story,
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: I had to make sure I could read because I said, wait, what?
• 36:56
  Speaker 25: I was I was shocked.
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: So this what is this?
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: This is like a banter show. Is that what we're doing?
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: His name is Keontae Matlock and he's a father. And
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: he said he was at home with his young child. when,
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: you know, he was playing his game and then his
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: young daughter was sitting next to him and, you know,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: he had his phone out and the notification came up
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: on his phone and she said, oh, dad, you know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: the phone rang or there.
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: Was a notification.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: So he looked at it. He's like, oh, that's the food. Well,
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: then that is when he looked at the ring camera
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: and he saw a door dasher who was completely naked.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Naked.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Naked.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Naked is the day. Legitimately, because they did share the
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: ring cam, is... He's just walking up with his door dash,
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: sets the food down, takes the little door dash picture,
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: turns around and walks away. He just was door dashing naked.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: That was what he was doing.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Is that an upcharge? Kind of like toasting your buns
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: at the subway?
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: The naked is going to cost you a little bit extra. Yeah,
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: how does that affect the tip? How does that affect
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: your compensation? for this driver. Shall we hear from the gentleman?
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, let's. All right, let's see.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: To what he had to say about that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I look, I say, buddy got a onesie on?
• 38:15
  Speaker 26: And so, you know, I open the camera and look,
• 38:18
  Speaker 26: buddy's completely naked. By the time I got to the front,
• 38:21
  Speaker 26: he was already gone. You know, because I like, you know,
• 38:25
  Speaker 26: I usually wait for the food so it don't sit outside.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: But, you know, that night was different.
• 38:32
  Speaker 26: Now, you know, I didn't I didn't expect nobody to
• 38:34
  Speaker 26: show up, drop my food.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I was naked, which is crazy.
• 38:37
  Speaker 26: And then to handle somebody's food like it's already a
• 38:41
  Speaker 26: lot going on.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: There is a lot going on with a lot going on,
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: as is.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not tipping there.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: What's funny is there is a poll going on on
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: this story. That is, would you eat food dropped off
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: by a naked person?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Option one. Heck, yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Option two.
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: No.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Would you like to know how the city of Houston
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: has been voting?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Knowing Houston, I could take a guess. It's no.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Don't worry. It's no.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: You have me fooled there for a minute.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Nothing to see here.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: My problem isn't necessarily a hygiene one. My problem is
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: if you're crazy enough to dash naked. How crazy. It's
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: not a far step to start contaminating the food, right?
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: You're nuts. You're certifiable.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: First of all, before I say this, I agree 100%.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: You're insane. That said, a nudist would probably tell you, whatever, man.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I'm just comfortable like this. This is how I want
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: to spend my life. And I'm going to do my
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: job naked.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not legal, Mr.
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: Nudist.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: That is not legal. That is not legal. And sir,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: there are cameras. And I mean, I'll tell you this.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: This does tell you how far we have changed. Now
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: the leave it on the door is the preferred method.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: The preferred method of getting your food whenever you order something.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: When was the last time you went to the door
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: and actually interacted with a delivery driver?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I don't DoorDash, so I don't know. Okay.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you. It's rare.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I bet it is.
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: Rare.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: But like I've mentioned before.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Imagine opening the door and finding that.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of like the guy that has become his
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: parents on the insurance commercial. I'm kind of that guy.
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: So, yeah.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: By the way, his DoorDash was canceled. He reported it
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: through the app, and DoorDash says, hey, we took care
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: of that.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: We got this for you.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: We took care of that. Sorry about your experience.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Man, I don't know.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he got a refund.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, better get a refund.
• 40:35

• 42:37
  Speaker 27: Fall webworms are common on pecans, persimmons, and mulberries. They're
• 42:41
  Speaker 27: quite similar to the eastern tent caterpillars that web all
• 42:44
  Speaker 27: over those same trees in late spring and summer. The
• 42:47
  Speaker 27: easiest way to eradicate them is with a long-handled pole pruner.
• 42:51
  Speaker 27: If you cut small webs out before they fully engulf
• 42:54
  Speaker 27: their limbs, you can minimize the damage and bad looks.
• 42:57
  Speaker 27: You can spray for them by using a general-purpose insecticide
• 43:00
  Speaker 27: such as malathion, But you'll need to mix in a
• 43:03
  Speaker 27: couple of drops of liquid detergent to help the spray
• 43:06
  Speaker 27: penetrate into the webs. It's too much trouble. Prune them out.
• 43:09
  Speaker 27: Ignore them. I don't care what you do. It's not
• 43:12
  Speaker 27: worth spraying them.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Fall webworms.
• 43:15
  Speaker 27: Grubworm damage may begin to show up in your turf.
• 43:17
  Speaker 27: If the lawn is weakening, turning yellow, and if you
• 43:20
  Speaker 27: can pull on it and it comes loose easily from
• 43:23
  Speaker 27: the runners, from the soil, runners and all, like a
• 43:25
  Speaker 27: bad toupee, then that's grubworm damage and you need to
• 43:29
  Speaker 27: apply Merit or one of the other general purpose products
• 43:31
  Speaker 27: turf insecticides. They're hard to control if you wait much
• 43:35
  Speaker 27: longer when you apply the insecticide watered in deeply. Most
• 43:39
  Speaker 27: lawns do not have grub worm damage. If you're raising
• 43:43
  Speaker 27: a fall gardener, if you've planted new annuals for fall, winter,
• 43:46
  Speaker 27: or spring color, watch for aphids. You can always identify
• 43:49
  Speaker 27: aphids by their pear-shaped bodies and by the way they
• 43:52
  Speaker 27: cluster near the newest foliage at the growing tips of
• 43:55
  Speaker 27: their host plants. Aphids give birth to living young without mating,
• 43:59
  Speaker 27: so populations can explode quickly. In fact, it's aphids that
• 44:03
  Speaker 27: have been causing sticky sap to drop from pecans, oaks,
• 44:07
  Speaker 27: and crepe myrtles over the past several weeks. Watch out
• 44:10
  Speaker 27: for stinging caterpillars in the fall. Puss caterpillars, hag moth caterpillars,
• 44:14
  Speaker 27: and larvae of the I.O. moth are all found in Texas.
• 44:18
  Speaker 27: There are other stinging caterpillars. It's best to assume that
• 44:21
  Speaker 27: something's going to sting you if you don't know what
• 44:23
  Speaker 27: it is. Don't be touching those caterpillars. Oh, and yellow
• 44:27
  Speaker 27: jackets also proliferate in falls, cooler weather, and they are aggressive.
• 44:31
  Speaker 27: I don't like to kill wasps and hornets, but yellow
• 44:34
  Speaker 27: jackets go after a child. They'll go after me. And
• 44:37
  Speaker 27: so for those, I'll either knock the nest down or
• 44:40
  Speaker 27: I'll use one of the long throw sprays.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: You have to be careful.
• 44:43
  Speaker 27: The propellants in those will damage foliage. I'm Neal Sperry.
• 44:47
  Speaker 27: I'll help you pick your focal points wisely in our
• 44:49
  Speaker 27: next Plant Talk Texas. Until then, happy gardening.

  Speaker 29: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 46:26
  Speaker 29: on 1620-945-WTAW.
• 46:29
  Speaker 13: The No.
• 46:29
  Speaker 29: 8 Aggie football team is three days away from hosting
• 46:32
  Speaker 29: the Missouri State Bears for the first time in the
• 46:35
  Speaker 29: two programs' histories. Head coach Mike Elko spoke about how
• 46:39
  Speaker 29: much he can learn from his team during Game 1
• 46:41
  Speaker 29: of the 2026 season.
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: I think we want to go out and we want
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: to see where we are, knowing that what we're going
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: to be is going to be way better than that.
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: Each week we go out there, and so... I don't
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: know that you have these things that you're looking for
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: because I'm not trying to I feel like sometimes in openers,
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: everyone's trying to identify, is this team going to be
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: good enough? I know we're good enough to compete. I
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: know we're good enough to compete. I know we have
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: enough talent to be in this thing. I know we're
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: going to have an opportunity. What we have to do
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: is be a team that focuses on what is important
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: to play winning football and then that grows week to week.
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: And so for me, it's I want to go out there,
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: I want to play somebody, I want to see where
• 47:19
  Speaker 7: we're at. And then from there, it's going to be
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: really important, wherever that is, that we grow coming out
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: of it. and that to me is what makes really,
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: really good football teams over the course of a season.
• 47:30
  Speaker 29: On the offense, A & M returns five starters with
• 47:33
  Speaker 29: only one of them being on the offensive line. Coach
• 47:36
  Speaker 29: Elko talks about having a rotation of players on the
• 47:38
  Speaker 29: O-line for Week 1.
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: Last year when we had a lot of returning starters
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: and nobody was unsure about who the starters were, we
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: still went into this opening segment knowing we were going
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: to rotate guys in. And I just think that's really,
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: really important. I think the more guys that you have involved,
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: the more guys that you believe can help you win,
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: the better that is for everything. It's better for morale.
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: It's better for performance. lasting 12 games it's better for
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: development it's just literally better in every way shape or
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: form when you have enough guys that can go out
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: there and rotate and help now the challenge is making
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: sure that you have enough guys that the level doesn't
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: drop and they're capable of playing to the standard they
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: need to play at and i think that's what the
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: competition has shown and you know now we got to
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: go out in a game setting and show that we
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: can play at that level.
• 48:22
  Speaker 29: The maroon and white are set to hit the field
• 48:24
  Speaker 29: on saturday night at kyle field with kickoff set for
• 48:27
  Speaker 29: six o'clock The No. 12 Aggie volleyball team continues their
• 48:31
  Speaker 29: road stretch for the inaugural All-State Big Ten and SEC
• 48:35
  Speaker 29: Challenge Week. Yesterday, the team played their opening game where
• 48:38
  Speaker 29: they fell 3-0 to Purdue. This afternoon, the Ags are
• 48:42
  Speaker 29: set to take on Indiana at 4 o'clock. The A
• 48:46
  Speaker 29: & M women's golf team was ranked No. 4 on
• 48:48
  Speaker 29: the Golf Channel's preseason top 30, while the men's golf
• 48:51
  Speaker 29: team checked in at No. 16 in the preseason rankings.
• 48:55
  Speaker 29: The A & M soccer team is continuing their home
• 48:58
  Speaker 29: stretch tomorrow night at Ellis Field, where the Aggies are
• 49:02
  Speaker 29: set to face the TCU Horned Frogs. Head coach Bobby
• 49:05
  Speaker 29: Shuttleworth recapped the team's recent games and what the team's
• 49:09
  Speaker 29: been doing throughout this week-long break.
• 49:11
  Speaker 30: Two wins in a row now, so the team's feeling
• 49:14
  Speaker 30: that and feeling confident, but we talked about after the
• 49:17
  Speaker 30: game a lot of things that we did really well
• 49:18
  Speaker 30: in that game and a lot of things that we
• 49:20
  Speaker 30: need to improve upon so they had the weekend off
• 49:23
  Speaker 30: to to recharge and rest we had a lot of
• 49:24
  Speaker 30: games in a short period of time so good to
• 49:27
  Speaker 30: get back in and then start looking at TCU and
• 49:30
  Speaker 30: think we have you know the best environment in the
• 49:32
  Speaker 30: country game environment so obviously that helps us a lot
• 49:35
  Speaker 30: gives us a lot of energy. It's a young team,
• 49:37
  Speaker 30: so starting three in a row on the road was tough,
• 49:40
  Speaker 30: but I think we'll be better later in the season
• 49:42
  Speaker 30: for that. Getting at home and having the next two
• 49:45
  Speaker 30: at home again, one step at a time, against a
• 49:47
  Speaker 30: good TCU team, it's always good to be home and
• 49:50
  Speaker 30: get to sleep in your own bed and do the
• 49:51
  Speaker 30: things that you want to do in your own place.
• 49:54

• 51:58
  Speaker 4: the 70s tonight. 40% chance of rain tomorrow, high of 93.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: And for Friday, sunny and a high of 95. We'll

• 52:21
  Speaker 4: Or is it?
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I suddenly kind of got excited, and I started
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: looking at the lineup for this weekend's games. What do
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: we have? Being the first official week, not really counting
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: week zero, right? Not much is what we have.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, Colorado at Georgia Tech. We get that tomorrow.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's on the not-too-bad list. First of all,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I hate Colorado.
• 52:42
  Speaker 29: Okay.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: You have a Dion problem.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: I just don't think that's what's good for college football.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not very good for Colorado either for the
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: last season.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, I enjoyed watching when Haynes King was the
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: QB there.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, Haynes got himself a roster spot.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Apparently so. He's on the 53 for the Carolina Panthers.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: So he's the third string quarterback in that QB room
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: and earned it. Apparently with a very strong training camp.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: You've got University of Arkansas Pine Bluff at Missouri on
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Thursday night on the SEC Network. Friday night on the
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: SEC Network, UTEP at Oklahoma.
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: Oh, you know, is it?
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: At least we're getting these out of the way when
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: you were so starved for football.
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: Saturday, some of it'll be fun.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Saturday, East Carolina at Alabama, East Carolina. That's the pirates.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Aren't that?
• 53:34
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: I'll watch that. They had a pretty good football team
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: and you never know, man.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's, there's everyone every year, every year, one
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: of these goes sideways.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Baylor and Auburn on Saturday? Okay.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Well, you get Ole Miss in
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: action against Louisville.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be a good game there, and
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: the Wisconsin-Notre Dame game on Sunday is going to be
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: pretty good as well. SMU and Florida State should be
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: interesting on Monday.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: Clemson at LSU, which is going to be a literal
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: death match.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: The Tigers versus the Tigers.
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: There is some.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Which Death Valley is that in?
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: It is at LSU.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, so the Cajun Death Valley.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: The Cajun Death Valley. We'll see. And again, we're still
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: getting court rulings on whether or not LSU can field
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: former pro athletes. It's going to be right down to
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: the wire, guys.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Well, that court's going to be really crowded with all
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: the arrests from the weekend, too, I'm sure.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: It's going to be a fun time in Baton Rouge.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Good morning, y'all.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you for being here today. Glad you're spending a
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: little bit of your Wednesday with us. We're 1620, 94.5
• 54:37
