The Infomaniacs: October 6th 2026 (6:00am) · WTAW - Infomaniacs

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. It
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: never happened. That's what the Texas A & M University
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Police Department says about a robbery involving a member of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the Corps of Cadets last week. The freshman cadet reported
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that while in the West Campus garage, she was pepper
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: sprayed before someone stole her fish spurs. UPD Assistant Chief
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Bobby Richardson tells WTAW that the information will now be
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: handed over to the Brazos County District Attorney's Office for investigation.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Her identity is not being released at this time. Expect
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a water interruption if you live in Meadow Creek. The
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Welburn Special Utility District will be repairing a water main,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and they expect the water to be off from 10
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: until 3. New numbers show that at ports of entry,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: customs agents across the southwest border have caught more than 11,000
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: people this year who are on the terror watch list.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Experts say these are migrants who under the Biden administration
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: would have slipped across the border between ports.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: They have sealed the border, pushing those people, funneling them
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to the ports of entry themselves.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Art Arthur with the Center for Immigration Studies says that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: outside of the ports, it's a different story. Border Patrol
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: only caught about 100 people on the terrorist screening database.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Owning a home is becoming increasingly expensive, and it's not
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just the taxes. Homeowner's insurance has gone through the roof.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: The average annual homeowner premium in Texas has increased from
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: under $ 2, 000 in 2020 to over $ 3, 500 today.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Texas Insurance Commissioner Amanda Crawford says there are two things
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: driving the trend. One is that home values are up.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: The cost of building supplies is on the rise, too.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: She says there's also been more natural disasters. Attorneys for
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a Texas death row inmate says the state's death drug
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: warrants putting Wednesday's scheduled execution on hold, this following the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: botched execution of an inmate in Tennessee.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Texas uses pentobarbital. Krista Pike got two doses of that
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: drug last week in Tennessee and remains in critical condition.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Jamal Howard's execution scheduled for Wednesday. Kristen Cuellar, executive director
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: of the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, says
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Howard's attorneys want Governor Abbott to issue a 30-day reprieve.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Have been seeking information from the Texas Department of Criminal
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Justice about the drug that the agency intends to use.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: And to date, they have been stymied in their efforts.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Howard is condemned for the May 2000 robbery and murder
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: of a convenience store clerk in the southeast Texas town
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of Sillsby. Barbara Schwartz, TSN News.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: More than 150 school districts across Texas have switched to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: four-day school weeks. The state legislature is holding a hearing
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to get a sense of how it's working for them.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath has made it clear he
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: hates the idea. It's bad. Data is pretty unequivocal. Morath
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: says districts who have abandoned the five-day school week now
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have lower test scores, and families with working parents would
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: have to foot the bill for a day of child care.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: In 2023, a bill in the legislature would have banned
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: four-day school weeks, but it failed to make it out
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of committee. More news on the way at 6.30 or
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: anytime at WTAW.com. I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. Gotta get some
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: more context on it's bad. It's bad, okay?
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Pretty much the worst idea I've ever heard.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: That was what I was thinking when you started reading that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: I was like, okay, so four days. So what are
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: we in education? Are we 40? We're not 49 yet.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: I know we're not dead last.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We gotta be.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: We're circling the drain, and there's 150 schools that said,
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: one less day, please.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's going to make things worse.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: That's one less day will make it all better. Have
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: you ever known anyone that's gone to the four-day workweek schedule,
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: the mythical four-day? Because that's the other one that everyone
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: talks about.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. I know some people that have done that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I actually think that it's easier to pull that off
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: than it is– Uh, of course in education, education is bad. Anyway,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we're 34th right now in K through 12. Well, that's,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that's overall shock. Overall, we're somewhere between 41st and 49th, uh,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: overall state educational attainment.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, I see. That's where I got. Okay.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: So at any rate, yeah. I mean, kids are struggling
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in school, so let's take a day away from them.
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: No.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Give them a day to play Fortnite. That'll fix it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: But the four-day work week is, I mean, that has
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: some validation to it, I think, although it's not applicable
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: for us.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: No, it'll never apply.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We barely get holidays.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll never apply to what we do. But I've
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: never met someone who's actually gotten the benefit of, hey,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: our company is switching. Congratulations, Fridays are yours. Thursday is
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: the new Friday. You stay a little bit longer on
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: both ends, and then everyone's happy. But for all the
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: stories you read about it, like even companies say, hey,
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: we're going to this. Yeah, well, shouldn't I know someone
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: at this point who's tried it?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: It doesn't sound like it's. Now, keep in mind, you
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: can always just do a four-day work at any point
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: in time. You just don't show up Friday. Like in
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: San Antonio, no one showed up on Friday.
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Like citywide, nothing happened on Friday. That was just a,
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: it was pretty much a citywide day off. It was
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: not intentional. It was not by design.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It was just everybody kind of whispered, hey, I'm bummed.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: I got stuff to do, man. I got places to be.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I look at that as a career limiting move, a CLM.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: It's like, but it's similar to, you know, they can't
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: catch us all.
• 5:48
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Like if everyone just decides, you know, I don't got somewhere.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've had jobs where I would have preferred
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a one day work week. This is not one of those.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I I wake up Saturdays and Sundays wishing
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that I could be here sometimes.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: That is that is how how the how you want
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: it to be.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, David texts in. Absolutely. I've been working four day
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: weeks for two years now.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: David.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Wonderful.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: My man.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: David, tell us what you do too, while you're at it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Please tell us and tell us how you pulled that
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: off or did it just happen one day?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Guess what?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I have no further details.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: That's that has got to be the life.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I would think so.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: That is God. Cause again, it's well, Fridays are so fun.
• 6:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: But what's more fun than a Friday, a Thursday, that
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: is actually a Friday.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm pretty high on that right now. I think
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it sounds like a great idea.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Today, what are we talking about? Oh, yes, that's right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: More sunnies with highs in the mid-80s as far as
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: the weather goes and back down to the low to
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: mid-60s tonight. We're heading in the right direction.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We are. It was almost crisp this morning.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: It was nice, dude. If you have a chance to
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: go outside, it is not terrible. It is a pretty
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: nice start to the day.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: David is a land surveyor, by the way.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Is that a land? No, it's a land surveyor and
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: land man are two different.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I can see that. You get all your
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: stuff done. Why not, man? Pack it into four days.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: You have a schedule. Heck, you probably haven't turned into
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: three if you get really industrious. That makes sense to me.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Taking away an entire day of school.
• 7:24
  Speaker 12: No.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Less time.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: They don't have enough time as it is.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Well, this is brought to you by Malik Service Company.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: The Texas heat air conditioner works overtime, but a well-tuned
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: AC will save you money and keep you comfortable. Turn
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: to the experts at Malik and carry to keep your
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: AC running properly. Malik feels the difference. How do the
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: parents let them do this? Because there's a child care thing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: That's the other point. Parents get livid when there's an extra.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That's the other point. You have to provide a day
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of child care.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Any of those in-service days or random holidays? Like, if
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: you know, like, I mean, many of you are the
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: ones doing the grumbling. It's like y'all are the ones
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: that hate it the most.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That's right. Hey, Jacob Texan, I work in those evil
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: AI data centers 12 days a week on a rotating
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: schedule that works me Sunday through Tuesday or Sunday through Wednesday.

  Speaker 1: 12 on?
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Those long weekends are amazing. I bet they are.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: That's got to be.
• 8:12
  Speaker 13: What's your job?
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: I would love to hear what a job in the
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: data center is. Like, what do you actually do?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: You just monitor the robots? Oh, the dream.
• 8:21

• 10:22
  Speaker 8: We've all heard the promise, I'll eliminate property tax. It
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: sounds great until you ask how. The truth, if the
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: state doesn't pay its fair share for our schools, that
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: money has to come from somewhere. Often, that means a
• 10:33

  Speaker 6: Hello, Brazos Valley.
• 11:24
  Speaker 13: This is Brandon Eisman with Dean and Draper Insurance. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 13: don't know about you, but it seems to me that
• 11:30
  Speaker 13: inflation has really taken a bite out of our lives
• 11:32
  Speaker 13: over the last couple of years. It feels like everything
• 11:35
  Speaker 13: has increased, from groceries to vehicles and from property taxes to, yes, insurance.
• 11:42
  Speaker 13: And speaking of insurance, the cost of home and auto
• 11:44
  Speaker 13: insurance has risen more in the last two years than
• 11:46
  Speaker 13: I've witnessed in my career.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: And it's absolutely impacting our budgets.
• 11:51
  Speaker 13: It can be very frustrating. At Dean and Draper Insurance,
• 11:54
  Speaker 13: we can't promise to solve the inflation problem, but we
• 11:57

  Speaker 6: 1620-945-WTAW. By the way, Jacob replies, his daily tasks, again,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: if you just joined us, Jacob works in a data center.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: And we were wondering, what do you actually do in
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: a data center? Like, what is the job? Like, is
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: it like the Jetsons where you just push a button?
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: you know, over and over again. Some of you kids
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: remember the Jetsons.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Is it more like Homer Simpson eating a donut at
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the console?
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: That's my vibe. That's what I was thinking. But no,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: mostly server hardware repair and cabling. Just running cable all day.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: If a component breaks, we troubleshoot it and replace it
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: if necessary. Same with network issues. You'd be surprised what
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: you use that relies on data center.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't. Everything.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Netflix, Spotify, online banking, other phone apps, even the AI
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: agents everywhere that you may or may not want to use.
• 13:22
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: No, trust me. It's everything. If you like something that's online,
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: you're the reason that you need data centers.
• 13:32
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: True.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: And again, that might be kind of a bummer to
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: some of you guys. It shouldn't be. But if it is,
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: we'll try to brighten your day. With reasons to celebrate.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: And we're starting with a big one.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Big one.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: National Taco Day.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: On a Tuesday, and that was done on purpose, by
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: It absolutely has been done on purpose. Taco Tuesday was
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: such a big deal, they decided that National Taco Day
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: needed to be... It wouldn't make sense any other day, Will.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: No.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Unless it was on a Tuesday. Obviously, the taco is
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: not a recent addition to the culinary landscape. It goes
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: back ages and ages and ages and ages. They are
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: their own food group in the state of Texas with
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: multiple different variants. Obviously, some people consider the breakfast taco.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's a taco.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: To be their go-to, but it is one taco. Some
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: consider the hard shell taco to be king. Honestly, nationally,
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: it's about 50-50. There are parts of the country where
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: it's like 90-10. Hard-shell tacos versus soft-shell tacos.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: There is. I got a whole sheet of taco facts
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: I think we need to go through them.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Shall we go through them?
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Give me some taco facts.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Here's the big one. 2% of Americans have never eaten
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a taco. Do 2% of Americans just not eat? Is
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that like maybe a liquid diet? Maybe they pulled Ted Kaczynski,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: who lived in a cave someplace.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Do they have Taco Tuesdays in prison?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: They have to.
• 15:01
  Speaker 10: I mean.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: that's the only reason i could think that maybe maybe
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: you don't but all.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Right 90 of adults like to eat tacos so that's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: i mean i don't know of a food maybe hamburgers
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: or there's.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: No one you know that doesn't like.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: A good talk if you do you should know them yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: And well in in as i'd say that's nationwide in
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: texas there's literally no chance you can find someone just
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: like you gross tacos I.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Bet there is. I bet somebody would text in and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: say they don't like tacos.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Not a chance.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And it is 53% of soft tacos and 47% hard
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: tacos nationwide. The average hard taco fan eats 7.3 tacos
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: a month. They're more likely to enjoy spicy food, more
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: likely to be a dog person.
• 15:48
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And more likely to say they're an extrovert. Soft taco
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: fan eats 6.9 tacos a month. more likely to be
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a cat person, and more likely to be a night owl.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I mean, that's kind of.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: Do you know someone who's a hard taco? I'll eat
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: the hard taco. I will, too. You go to Taco Bell,
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: they give you crispy tacos. You go to Rose's, they
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: have good crispy tacos.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You go to Jack in the Box or Dairy Queen,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you get crispy tacos.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Hell, whenever I go to Coco Loco, I always order
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: a side of three crispy tacos just because their crispy
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: tacos are really good. Now, anywhere else... Yeah, it's just
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: like tortillas.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I'd gravitate toward the flour tortilla on most things. With
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the pastor, I need the soft corn tortilla. But I'll
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: take a crunchy taco. I just don't ever go order
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: just crunchy tacos.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Good night. Where's the best taco in town?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: The best taco in town?
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: Period.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: No qualifiers, no equivocations. One taco in town is the best.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to go with the little taco
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: trailer that I try to keep secret that is behind
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a derelict former gas station that is now a convenience store.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, keep it vague.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: That is surrounded by a trailer park.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: Okay, so there's a trailer park, but it's a taco shack.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Is it a shack or is it on Google?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: It is a trailer.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: It is a trailer.
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 17:13
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 17:13
  Speaker 19: All right.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm not even going to give the name. Hmm.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But it's pretty tasty.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Mike, hell, even James Tallarico likes tacos.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I think he's faking it. I think he's faking it.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, you didn't say it. It doesn't have to
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: be meat in a taco. I've enjoyed a nice taco
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: with just avocado.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, just the video of Tallarico gnawing on a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: turkey leg was bad enough. I don't want to see
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: him gnawing on a taco.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Here is a... I will give you mine. And I
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: don't care about... I don't care about outing him because
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: I think nothing would make me happier than seeing more
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: success for this woman. So if you go on, like,
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: you know where Allen Academy is?
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Right across the street from Allen Academy, there is an
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: Exxon station. In that Exxon station, there is a taco
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: restaurant all the way to the left, frequently closed, frequently closed.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: They open up for lunch, and then they open up
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: on Saturdays. And as I'm talking about it, I always
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: blank on the name because I just call it Mirabelle's
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: because Mirabelle is the woman who is responsible for it
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: and her mom. I would not only put this as
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: the best tacos in Bryan College Station. I would put
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: this as the best taco in the state of Texas. Wow.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: And I've tried to find some that are better.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Not that I'm ever in that area, but I'm going
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: to be. I'm going to be heading that way.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: I will. I will. Okay. Got it. You've got to get,
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: I would recommend getting the Gringas just because that's kind
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: of like a more substantial, like it's kind of, it's
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: kind of like a quesadilla with all the stuff inside it. Uh,
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: get some of those and then tell me that you've
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: had a better taco. And again, I will say in
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: the state of Texas, because I, I looked all over
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: South Texas. I looked all over Houston. I found some
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: stuff that was as good. Like, okay, that's pretty good.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: I have yet to find somewhere that beats that taco
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: to this day. So go check it out. There you
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: have it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: There you have it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: I could go through more days, but we'll save them.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: What do we have on birthdays?
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Birthdays. Bronny James is 22 years old today.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Nepo baby.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Why is he on the list? He's not that he's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: not famous in his own right. He's the son of
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: LeBron James. More famous than me. Would he even? I'm
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: not sure. yes he is barely yes he is would
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: he even be in the league if it wasn't for daddy?
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: No, not a chance. There's zero chance he would be
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: in the league if it wasn't for daddy. I don't
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: even think he's in the league anymore.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Is he not?
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: I want to say he retired because, like, after dad
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: left the Lakers, they weren't going to keep him. Like, what,
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: are they just going to pay him for fun? No,
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: he was there because LeBron wanted him there. And if
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Philadelphia was like, dude, no. then what are you going
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: to do? Sorry, son. That's a career.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Hang it up. Olivia Thirlby is 40.

• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Julie Finley on CSI.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.

• 21:27
  Speaker 6: All right, we're talking news. That's coming up next.
• 21:30
  Speaker 20: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 21:34
  Speaker 20: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 21:38
  Speaker 20: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 21:41
  Speaker 20: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 21:44
  Speaker 20: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 21:48
  Speaker 20: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 21:51
  Speaker 20: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.

  Speaker 21: Hey, have you been paying attention to what's happening with
• 22:31
  Speaker 21: gold and silver right now? Central banks around the world,
• 22:35
  Speaker 21: they're buying record amounts of gold to diversify their reserves. Now,
• 22:39
  Speaker 21: at the same time, silver demand is skyrocketing because it
• 22:42
  Speaker 21: is critical for solar power, electronics, AI infrastructure. Now, if
• 22:46
  Speaker 21: you've noticed recent price pullbacks, remember that temporary pullbacks are
• 22:51
  Speaker 21: just normal market corrections in a long-term trend. And major
• 22:54
  Speaker 21: financial institutions are now forecasting strong potential growth for both
• 22:58
  Speaker 21: gold and silver over the next few years. Physical metals
• 23:02
  Speaker 21: don't rely on the stability of any single government or bank,

• 24:01
  Speaker 22: a consumer lawsuit over claims that the protein drinks labeled
• 24:04
  Speaker 22: sugar-free may actually contain more sugar than a Reese's peanut
• 24:08
  Speaker 22: butter cup. The federal lawsuit applies to eight protein beverages
• 24:11
  Speaker 22: that Starbucks sells in the U.S. President Trump has allowed
• 24:14
  Speaker 22: the use of cheaper red-dyed diesel, typically reserved for farm operations,
• 24:19
  Speaker 22: to be used more broadly in an attempt to bring
• 24:22
  Speaker 22: down record high fuel costs. CNBC reports that several states
• 24:26
  Speaker 22: this year have relaxed restrictions on the tax-exempt diesel to
• 24:29
  Speaker 22: help Americans cope with surging fuel costs. Lucid Group reported
• 24:33
  Speaker 22: a 6.7 percent decrease in year-over-year vehicle deliveries during the

• 25:59
  Speaker 24: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 26:01
  Speaker 24: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 26:03
  Speaker 24: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 26:06
  Speaker 24: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 26:09
  Speaker 24: received a competitor's bid, which was five to 10 times
• 26:11
  Speaker 24: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 26:14
  Speaker 24: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 26:18
  Speaker 24: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 26:21
  Speaker 24: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 26:25
  Speaker 24: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
• 26:28
  Speaker 24: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
• 26:31
  Speaker 24: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 26:33
  Speaker 24: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
• 26:35
  Speaker 24: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
• 26:39
  Speaker 24: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
• 26:43

  Speaker 3: What do we really know about James Tallarico? Tallerico said.
• 27:17
  Speaker 25: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Tallerico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: young children, claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 27:37
  Speaker 25: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: boys to play in girls' sports, saying some things are
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: more important than fair competition in sports.
• 27:56
  Speaker 25: Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day.

• 38:08
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. It won't take long, but thank me later. Man,
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: we were just talking off the air about this story
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: from Ole Miss, which is.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this just popped up in my feed.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Which is fairly intriguing, and there's a reason I think
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: it's intriguing, and the reason is almost every week we'll hear...
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: There was another story about it just yesterday that crawled
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: across my screen about, hey, chaotic night at Northgate. 30
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: different arrests or 30 different charges.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had to explain it. The judge came in
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: and talked about it.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: We had the chief of police talk about it, about
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: the incredibly large number of of MIPs and, and, and
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: crimes related to essentially going out to Northgate and having
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: a good time. And everyone talks about, man, that's so
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: much higher than, than everywhere else in Texas. But is
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: it higher than the rest of the SEC?
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Not sure because I don't have, you know, statistics for everywhere.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: But what I do have is during a recent reporting period.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Now we do not know what that reporting period is.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: The police chief in Oxford, Mississippi, along with the mayor,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: said 759 fake IDs seized. We've talked about this, that
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: that is a huge industry.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: There's a whole trade in Oxford.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: And we've mentioned that because the way it's all set
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: up is you've got to have a fake ID, and
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: the kids will... know how to get them. They know
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: how to make them in their next level.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: They are. They will scan sometimes. So 378 MIPs.
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: 98 fake ID citations within a single reporting period. Again,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: we don't know.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: What is a reporting period?
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: What the reporting period is. And Ole Miss definitely is
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: getting the reputation for that. as the party school of
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the South.
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: As a daughter, having a daughter there, is it the
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: party school of the South?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: There are people that can throw down with any school
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: in the SEC. That is for sure. And there are
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: also people who are just like everyday folks, and then
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: there's people who don't drink at all at Ole Miss,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: just like any place you would go. However, I think
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: per capita.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: That's important.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Because the student population there is less than 30,000.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like A & M was in the 80s
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: as far as how large of a school it is. But, yeah,
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: I think per capita.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: They're good at it. I mean, you go out there
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to the Grove on any game day, you can see
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: they're good at it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: No, it's incredible. Is it really that we have so
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: much more of a problem with this type of thing,
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: or is it that our rules are actually enforced? That's
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: from Shanna. That's a great question.
• 40:40
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm certain that they're going to start enforcing
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: a little bit harder at Ole Miss now that this
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: has become.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: A national story. Now that the mayor has been quoted
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: on a national story, the police chief as well. In fact,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I just sent it to the daughter. I'm like, you know,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: keep your head down. Time to lay low for a
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, don't speed on the last mile home, Will.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: That's right. Well, I mean, she's quite the animal. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: know last Saturday night she was... Babysitting a nine-month-old.
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: And playing, while playing Mahjong.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: No, no, but she does want us to go. We're
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: going in a couple of weeks. She wants us to
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: go to the bingo parlor with her.

  Speaker 9: over when you clean your flower and vegetable gardens this fall.
• 43:40
  Speaker 9: You can hardly afford to go without a compost pile
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: any longer. There are several prerequisites to a successful compost pile,
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: whether it's preformed hard plastic, a simple enclosure made from
• 43:51
  Speaker 9: galvanizing fencing, or a more permanent structure built from pressure-treated
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: timbers or concrete blocks. The compost pile needs to have
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: its own home, located in the outback of your garden
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: where it's screened from public view. In fact, avid gardeners
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: often have two compost piles, one that's currently working and
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: the second one that's ready for use. Grind the organic
• 44:13
  Speaker 9: matter up as finely as you can. Use your mower,
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: or better still, invest in a shredder grinder to pulverize
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: the leaves, stems, and other debris. Keep the compost moist
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: at all times. Dry compost decays much more slowly. By
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: the same token, if you'll add one cup of complete
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: and balanced fertilizer per cubic yard of compost, you'll speed
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: up the work of the microorganisms that cause the decay.
• 44:36
  Speaker 9: Mixing some of your garden soil with the shredded organic
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: matter will also make a big difference. It brings in
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: the microbes. You'll have the best compost if you turn
• 44:45
  Speaker 9: the pile often with a spading fork at least once
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: a month to get oxygen down into it.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, and it's also a good.
• 44:51
  Speaker 9: Idea to cover it with black plastic to soak up
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: the sun's rays during the winter. You'll know that your
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: compost is ready for use in the garden when you
• 44:59
  Speaker 9: can no longer recognize its individual components. At that point
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: you'll be able to work several inches of compost into
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: the soil either by spading or better and easier by
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: rototilling down 8 or 10 or 12 inches. It can
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: be used in addition to peat moss, shredded bark mulch,
• 45:14
  Speaker 9: rotted manures and other forms of organic matter and if
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: you're improving a clay soil one inch of expanded shale
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: will help as well. Now the organic matter will loosen
• 45:24
  Speaker 9: tight clays as they break down. You have to keep
• 45:27
  Speaker 9: replenishing the compost every year as you rework the soil
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: because it does decay and then it's gone. Oh, and
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: thin layer composting. If you have tree leaves on your lawn,
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: if they're not too thick, you can run the shredder
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: over them, the mower, the mulcher, and just leave them
• 45:42
  Speaker 9: right there to compost on their own.
• 45:44

  Speaker 9: Things to do now in our next Plant Talk Texas.
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: Until then, happy gardening.

  Speaker 3: What do we really know about James Tallarico? Tallarico said,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: young children, claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive,
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 46:45
  Speaker 25: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: boys to play in girls' sports, saying some things are
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: more important than fair competition in sports.
• 47:04
  Speaker 25: Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day.

• 47:34
  Speaker 28: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 47:38
  Speaker 28: on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie football team will meet up against
• 47:43
  Speaker 28: Missouri this Saturday for the 19th time in program history.
• 47:47
  Speaker 28: And due to the SEC changing to a nine-game SEC slate,
• 47:51
  Speaker 28: this will be the second consecutive time that the Aggies
• 47:54
  Speaker 28: will meet the Tigers in Columbia. Ahead of this week's game,
• 47:57
  Speaker 28: the Maroon and White had their first SEC win of
• 48:00
  Speaker 28: the season against Arkansas and took the right step in
• 48:03
  Speaker 28: gaining momentum ahead of this week's matchup. Head coach Mike
• 48:07
  Speaker 28: Elko recapped last week's win.
• 48:09
  Speaker 11: Players of the week. Offensively, we went with K.J. Edwards,
• 48:12
  Speaker 11: 66 yards and 11 carries for two touchdowns. It was
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: great to see him get some more opportunities, be able
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: to get out there healthy and really kind of start
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: to show what he's really capable of and so excited
• 48:23
  Speaker 11: for him as he continues to grow into this thing. Defensively,
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: Tawfiq Byard led the team of tackles with six. Really
• 48:31
  Speaker 11: healthy now, kind of for the first time, and so
• 48:33
  Speaker 11: it was great to get him out there and continue
• 48:35
  Speaker 11: to enhance his role as we go into this thing.
• 48:37
  Speaker 11: And then special teams was pretty easy. Obviously went with
• 48:40
  Speaker 11: David Alano, who had a really good night, kicking two
• 48:43
  Speaker 11: for two and plus 50. He was also named SEC
• 48:46
  Speaker 11: Special Teams Player of the Week today, too, and so
• 48:48
  Speaker 11: congratulations to him for that. I think the story of
• 48:51
  Speaker 11: the game was really simple. I thought we did the
• 48:53
  Speaker 11: things you need to do to win football games. We
• 48:55
  Speaker 11: won the turnover margin. We were really good on third down.
• 48:58
  Speaker 11: We were really good getting off the field on third down.
• 49:00
  Speaker 11: We did a really good job scoring touchdowns in the
• 49:02
  Speaker 11: red zone. We didn't give up the touchdown in the
• 49:05
  Speaker 11: red zone the one time they got in it. When
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: you're able to play like that, you're going to be
• 49:08
  Speaker 11: able to win football games. It's nice to have an
• 49:11
  Speaker 11: Arkansas game not come down to the wire like every
• 49:14
  Speaker 11: other one that I've been part of has. And so
• 49:16
  Speaker 11: now we turn our attention to a really good Missouri team,
• 49:18
  Speaker 11: a really big challenge and big opportunity for us in
• 49:21
  Speaker 11: Missouri this week.
• 49:22
  Speaker 28: Coach Elko also shared thoughts on the challenges that Missouri
• 49:25
  Speaker 28: will present on Saturday.
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: I think they're playing really, really good football. They're 12th
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: in the country, only giving up 2.6 yards a carry.
• 49:33
  Speaker 11: And so they've been really, really effective stopping the run
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: and obviously did a really, really good job against an
• 49:38
  Speaker 11: elite tailback last week, shutting him down, which nobody has
• 49:41
  Speaker 11: really been able to do so far. And then offensively,
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: I think it starts with the quarterback. He's playing elite football, really,
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: really running the offense at a high, high level. And
• 49:51
  Speaker 11: then because of that, you've got skill kids on the
• 49:54
  Speaker 11: outside that can create separation and get open and a
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: really talented running back. And so they stress you in
• 49:59
  Speaker 11: a lot of different ways. And so it'll be a
• 50:02
  Speaker 11: big challenge for Saturday for sure.
• 50:04
  Speaker 28: Kickoff for the A & M versus Missouri game is
• 50:06
  Speaker 28: set for Saturday afternoon at 11 a.m. Aggie men's golf
• 50:11
  Speaker 28: Whedon Ennis won the individual title at the Fighting Irish Classic,
• 50:15
  Speaker 28: closing with a 3-67 to finish at 7-203. As the
• 50:20
  Speaker 28: men's golf team placed second in the team's standings yesterday
• 50:23
  Speaker 28: at the Warren Golf Course. Yesterday afternoon, the SEC announced
• 50:27
  Speaker 28: that Texas A & M Volleyball's Kendall Stowers was named
• 50:31
  Speaker 28: SEC Offensive Player of the Week following her record-breaking performance
• 50:35
  Speaker 28: versus Mississippi State, which was Stowers' first career SEC Weekly
• 50:39
  Speaker 28: Award and was earned after breaking the program record for
• 50:42
  Speaker 28: points in a three-set match versus the Bulldogs, finishing with 26.5.
• 50:47
  Speaker 28: Her career-best outing helped her down her second program record
• 50:50
  Speaker 28: of the season as she set the five set points
• 50:53
  Speaker 28: all-time best with 34.5 versus Indiana earlier in the year.
• 50:57
  Speaker 28: In Monday Night Football last night, the Atlanta Falcons beat
• 51:01
  Speaker 28: the New Orleans Saints 45-24. In the NHL last night,
• 51:05
  Speaker 28: the Dallas Stars shut out the San Jose Sharks 5-0.
• 51:09
  Speaker 28: That's your morning sports update on 1620-945-WTAW. I'm Riley Flurkey.
• 51:16
  Speaker 10: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 51:19
  Speaker 10: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 51:23
  Speaker 10: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 51:29
  Speaker 10: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 51:33
  Speaker 10: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 51:36
  Speaker 10: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 51:41
  Speaker 10: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: who can afford the longest fight.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Texas courts belong to the people.
• 51:51
  Speaker 10: That means judges should be accountable, rules should be clear,
• 51:55
  Speaker 10: and the system should be accessible.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: To those who rely on it.
• 51:58
  Speaker 10: For Blacklock, equal justice.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Means more than a principle.
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Clear rules.
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: Accountable courts. Equal justice under law.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Political ad paid for by the Jimmy Blacklock campaign.
• 52:16
  Speaker 15: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 52:17
  Speaker 24: I heard an ad the other day encouraging me to
• 52:19
  Speaker 24: attend a sales seminar so I could double or triple
• 52:21
  Speaker 24: my sales with no change in pricing or product. Tell
• 52:24
  Speaker 24: the customer what they need. Don't take no for an answer.
• 52:27
  Speaker 24: Never leave without a close. I don't want to be
• 52:29
  Speaker 24: that guy. I really don't like that guy. At Intercon,
• 52:31
  Speaker 24: we encourage you to ask questions and make your decision
• 52:34
  Speaker 24: on your own schedule. Why would I force you to
• 52:35
  Speaker 24: sign immediately if I was confident that I'm offering the
• 52:38
  Speaker 24: best value proposition? No sales, just good value every day
• 52:41
  Speaker 24: of the year. With our depth and breadth of window solutions,
• 52:44
  Speaker 24: we will understand and solve your problem. Sometimes that means

• 52:49
  Speaker 24: to your existing windows. As a local company, we love
• 52:52
  Speaker 24: our extensive list of repeat customers. You won't have to
• 52:54
  Speaker 24: look very hard to find people better trained in sales techniques,
• 52:57
  Speaker 24: but it will be a challenge to find anyone better
• 52:59
  Speaker 24: trained in window installation and repair than your neighbors at Intercon.

  Speaker 6: at weather-wise? Just like yesterday, man. Yesterday was gorgeous.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, beautiful.

  Speaker 6: A little bit cooler today.
• 53:30
  Speaker 21: Not.
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: Don't mistake my words for saying it's cool.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: It was warm yesterday. It'll be slightly cooler today.

  Speaker 6: you're going to want to... Make alternate plans.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go around Hearn. Just avoid Hearn. There was a
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: dual fatality, at least two fatalities accident this morning. The
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: chances are good they're doing the accident reconstruction, and that
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: will take some time. This accident just north of Allen Samuels,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Highway 6, closed in Hearn.
• 54:18
