  Speaker 1: the WTAW Newsroom, good morning. I'm Will Welch. The man
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: accused in a deadly shooting in Bryan Tuesday evening has
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: turned himself in to Bryan Police. 20-year-old Cameron Deshaun Scott
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: allegedly shot 23-year-old Jalen Walter after an argument in the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: North Point Business Park. Scott surrendered himself to authorities and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He is being held on $ 300, 000 bond. A man is
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: headed to prison for five years for domestic violence and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: repeatedly violating protective orders. A Brazos County grand jury handed
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: down the sentence against 32-year-old Ronnie Wayne Rice Jr., Rice
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: assaulted his ex-girlfriend in 2024 and she was granted a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: restraining order. He then violated that order twice within a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: month and was charged with continuous violation of bond conditions.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Rice has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 2011
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: when he was 17 and first arrested for family violence assault.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He has been booked into the Brazos County Jail 20
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: times since then. Five of those arrests were for domestic violence.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Texas could face changes to its growing data center industry.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: as the state prepares for a new governor and potential regulations.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: UT Austin energy researcher Michael Weber says a short pause
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: could help communities find common ground. But a longer halt
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: may hurt the U.S. in its AI competition with China.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Uncertainty surrounding a potential construction pause could make developers reconsider
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: building in Texas.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I think that a moratorium or the threat of a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: moratorium is enough to get the developers to consider other states.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: They're in a race and they want speed to power.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And one of the reasons why they like Texas is
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: because they can move quickly here. So that's the concern
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I have. And that's why I think it's important not
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: to just have a moratorium, but instead to have a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: conversation and a negotiation.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Governor-elect Hinojosa has called for a temporary moratorium on data
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: center construction until lawmakers can give local communities more control.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Despite a possible slowdown, many analysts believe Texas could still
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: become the nation's largest data center market. Voters throughout Texas
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: shot down school bond propositions and district tax rate changes
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday night.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: They pretty unanimously said we're tired of higher property taxes
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: because we can barely afford to make ends meet.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Andrew McVeigh, with Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, says people are
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: being nickel-and-dimed by school districts, and they're getting more informed
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: about what is on the ballot. But he suspects that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: some of these districts will push bigger bond packages in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the future. Here locally, Vader proposals failed in Bryan and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Navasota ISD. The state's Railroad Commission is no longer solidly conservative.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Part of this week's blue tsunami is the first Democrat
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: elected to the three-member commission, which regulates the oil and
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: gas industry. Todd Staples, who heads the Texas Oil and
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Gas Association, says they can work with people of both parties.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Our industry is on the forefront of delivering cleaner, better,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: stronger energy already. Crude oil prices plunged after Election Day.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Some traders are betting that the GOP losses will force
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: President Trump to make a deal to end the war
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: in Iran. In San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News.

• 4:14
  Speaker 6: to talk. I mean, what we talk about. College football.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk a little balls.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: We're going to talk a little balls. Thank God we
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: have some good games this week.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Last week was a snore.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Best slate of the year.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Best slate of the year.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: Best weekend period of the year.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: I think I'd have to agree. This is wire to wire.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: quality matchups and some trash but you know you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: Wake up you turn the TV on about 10.50 you
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: turn the TV off about 1am you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Cry about his state in life and game day.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: That's why I said 10.50 I didn't say you had
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: to turn it on to watch ESPN college game day 10.50
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: you turn it on to whatever the first game of
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: the day.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: You're going to watch I cannot deny I do like
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: watching the kick contest I've grown to like the kick contest.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: That's why God made the internet so you can watch
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: the video.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Afterwards just the clips just the clips All right, so
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: let's get to last week.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was about to say, this is a beautiful
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: week of games. How bad did we do last week?
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: You two did great. Four out of five.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: And I did three out of five. Great work, boys.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Great work. Thank you. Honestly, if you look at the season,
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: we are pretty much dead tied. Like, we are all...
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Neither of us are.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Nobody's running away with it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: And none of the three of us are bad. We're
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: just pretty much average dudes.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: I'd buy that. I'll take average, dude.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I strive for average.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: My membership to Average Joe Jims is still active.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, there we go. A little dodgeball reference there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: All right, so let's get started. This week's picks are
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: going to begin with, why not just do the Texas-Mizzou
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: thing right off of the jump? Why not?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Because Texas is only three and a half point favorites
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: against Mizzou, because everyone's kind of figured out that that's
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: a mess and a half. I don't know how they
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: are where they are in the playoff ranking.
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: I don't understand it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: Which team?
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Texas.
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: Three top 25 wins. Only team in the country with
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: three top 25 wins.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Okay, so that's what gets you there.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: And they're not the highest ranked two lost teams.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: They are not.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: Despite the only team with three.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Top 25 wins. There's rationale.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They're just frustratingly Texas.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: All right, so what do we think? Missouri has looked good.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Missouri has looked bad. How do we think Missouri is
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: going to look against Texas this weekend?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Missouri is at home, and Darth Missouri will be coming out. So, yeah,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I'm picking Missouri in this one. Lou, how do you feel?
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Texas?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Well, looky there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: I'm going to take Texas, three and a half points.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: I'm very well aware that they could absolutely lay an egg.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: I am well aware if they do just fine by
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: me at this point, who cares?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm also, well, to whip out a Dungeons
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and Dragons term.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Missouri is chaotic evil.
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: And I didn't know you played. Wow.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I stopped in sixth grade, but yeah, sure.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Just right off the top of your head. Chaotic evil.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: That was too easy a reference for you for a six.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So I think that the chaos is Missouri's game. So
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I think they wreck shop.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Arkansas-Auburn. Auburn is, if my reading is correctly, four and
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: a half point favorites.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Against the Hogs.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: There should be a lot more, I would think. What
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: do we think?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going Auburn on this one just because Arkansas is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: so pitiful.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Okay. Lou, what are we doing?
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: After watching the first quarter of Arkansas this year in
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: their first game, I vowed I was not going to
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: pick Arkansas in any.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: Game this year.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, you did.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: No matter the line, the opponent, how much I'd been drinking.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: So Auburn.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Auburn. There you go.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: All three Auburns. Alabama and LSU. Bama versus Lane Kiffin.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: And it's an either-or. Two and a half points favorite
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: to Alabama. Now it's at LSU. We'll figure out how
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: that happens.
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: The most overrated team in the CFP ranking, Alabama. In
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: the history of the CFP ranking, the most inexplicable ranking
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: is Alabama at five.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Soft crimson tide. I asked for this when Saban was there. Like,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: can we just have Alabama be normal? And now I
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: regret it immediately.
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: It is so much less interesting when Alabama is just
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: another college football team.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: When they're just an average dude?
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: When they're just an average dude to just another team.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Unless they're a Goliath, who really cares? They're just kind of, anyway.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: All right, so what are we picking?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So my point on this is typically home team will
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: get three points, right?
• 8:29
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So the spread is two and a half. Louie's trying
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to do his counting over here.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Gymnastics.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so essentially this is a wash, right?
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The home field advantage for LSU tends to go away.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I'm picking Bama just to make it short.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: Roll Tigers.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Roll Tigers. Go Tigers.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: LSU.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Go Tigers. I'm going to go Bama. Vanderbilt, Mississippi State.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: I can't believe you made.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Us pick this.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: There was a little bit of trash.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: Why do you hate us?
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Well, this is one that's interesting.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: It is?
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: These are literally the two worst teams you can have.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: And it's not really Mississippi State's fault. They lost their
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: one player. But, you know, three and a half points
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: to Vanderbilt, who are off the road against Mississippi State.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Even Vandy's coming off a favorite against Mississippi State.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: So what do we think? This is one of those
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: games no one's going to be there. Both bands will
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: refuse to show up.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: That's embarrassing. You're going to have to have a promo.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: You're going to have to have kicking for chicken at
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: some point.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: There's going to be one guy with a cowbell.
• 9:22
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: More cowbell. There's no cowbell.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: I'll just say Vanderbilt. I want Vanderbilt.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Go ahead. Pick Mississippi State, Will.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Vandy.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Oh, a non-Mississippi team.
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: You abandoned your Mississippi State fetish thing?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they finally burned me bad enough. Louie, what do
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: we think?
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Mississippi State.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Whoa!
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: All right, all right.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Switcheroo there.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: Oh, Vanderbilt. No, there's no explanation. Mississippi State.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Okay. In another battle of the hill people, University of
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Tennessee against my old Kentucky home and potential SEC champion,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: Kentucky Wildcats. And the Kentucky Wildcats are getting no respect.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: CFP eliminator again.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: No respect for Kentucky. They are 14 and a half
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: point dogs.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Is this line right?
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: To Tennessee.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Is this real?
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Can we do it?
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: Tennessee could be the fave, but.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: 14 and a half.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Two touchdowns?
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: One second. I'm going to control time.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: You have a Google machine?
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I'm going to consult a gambling app. Yeah, consult a
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: gambling app.
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: 14 and a half?
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying, man. I could not believe this.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: When I was reading it. I'm familiar with this.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: You should give them a, you should say give them
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: the two and a half points.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: But 14 and a half?
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Dude, Kentucky is, Kentucky is at the top. They're not
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: a bad team.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: They're six in the CFP, if I'm not mistaken.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: They're a top 10 team. That is all legit.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: They could be in the playoffs.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Tennessee can be favored. I'm good with this, but two touchdowns.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: All right, so what are we, pending. Pending this being correct,
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: and I am efforting.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: He has the slowest Google machine we've ever met.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm still getting it. They have a million.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: You know how it is. Push one button, and then
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: the next button, and it forms a sequence.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So when I print this out, I go through and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I allow AI to do the spreads, and it doesn't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: really matter because we're betting whatever spread happens to be
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: on the paper.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Well, no, I fully believe that there's a, I fully
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: believe there's probably a 14.5 point spread. So I'm going
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: to tell you what the DraftKings spread is for this game.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: By the way, I get your endorsements for DraftKings on
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: this radio show. Aren't they beautiful? You're costing me money.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: I tear up when I hear it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: You are a.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Fantastic DraftKings endorser. There are a bunch of them on
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: the radio. Louie does a great DraftKings spot. You know why?
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: If I didn't have headphones on, I'd give you the
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: tip of the hat.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: I believe in our right to wager if one so
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: chooses or not if one so chooses. So exercising that
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: through DraftKings makes me joyous.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: DraftKings line at the time I'm looking at this is
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: six and a half points.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: That's what I have now.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: That's more human.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I have now as I've looked it
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: up as well.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: I'm going to change it on the document here. I'm
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: going to give you the DraftKings line. Sports are a decision.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: The choice here is six and a half points, Tennessee
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: being a favorite. Out of that, what do you pick?
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Kentucky.
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: Kentucky.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: I'm also going Kentucky. I'm going Cats.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I'm changing my initial pick because of the point spread change.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: Okay, fair, fair, fair.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Because I was taking the points.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going Kentucky on that one at six and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a half.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: I'm going Kentucky. Let's talk Georgia and Ole Miss. This
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: is actually, I might be more excited to watch this.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: This is a great game.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a fun one to watch.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: This is going to be a good game. Two and
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: a half point favorites. Georgia on the road against Ole Miss.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: We know what Will's going to pick.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Do we?
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you take Ole Miss. Were you going to do dogs?
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: There will not be a weekend this year that you
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: won't pick one of the Mississippi schools.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Your daughter is there.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Except for this one.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Dogs.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: Does your daughter know this?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't told her yet.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: You're breaking your daughter's heart, man.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: She doesn't care. She's probably laying money, too.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: This will be a hard Thanksgiving in your household.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Not really. She got accepted A & M. She's coming
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: home for her master's.
• 13:03
  Speaker 15: Louie.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Rebs.
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: Darth Kirby.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, dogs.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: I'm going Ole Miss, so we'll see.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: I am.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: I believe in Ole Miss. Unlike Will, whose daughter actually
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: attends the school. Oklahoma, Florida.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Florida.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: I'm going Florida.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Florida.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Gators all the way. And finally, we return to the...
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: You watch the Murdoch show, the Murdoch show on Netflix
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: or Hulu. They do a, it's, you know, the guy
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: that killed his whole family, the law.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: The guy that had his mic on when he went
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: to the bathroom.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: No, no, that's, that's the other scumbag. That's our scumbag.
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: You gotta understand there's a hundred real crime things on HBO.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: No, no, this guy shot his wife, murdered his wife
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: and his son. Allegedly, he's still getting another trial over
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: some money and some other issues. And it's, it's the
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: most South Carolinian show I've ever seen on.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: It's, it's horrid.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Like the acting is bad. The cast should be better.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: But the amount of leaning on bad Southern accents that
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: happens in the show, you have to watch it.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: To be fair, South Carolina accent's hard.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: Nick Cage's accent in Con Air?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: There's nothing as bad as any Nick Cage accent.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: Easy. His Ghost Rider accent was excellent.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: South Carolina versus the Ags.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: That line is wrong.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: What's the line on A & M?
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: A & M' s not favored by 6.5.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: That's what I was about to say. That was my
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: next line.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Blame the A.I.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Shall I check to see a current line on Texas
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: A & M?
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: Just reverse it. I think South Carolina's the 6.5 point favorite.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: They're not the 6.5 point dog.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Just to make sure, I want to be accurate for
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: the sake of our degenerate gamblers out there.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: White spread. I've got right here 6.5 to 7 point
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: underdog for A & M against South Carolina.
• 14:38
  Speaker 13: Underdog.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Underdog.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Does it matter? A & M versus South Carolina. And
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: South Carolina is shockingly hot all of a sudden.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: We have to preserve the integrity of this contest.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Right, right, right. I'm going to, again, we're going to
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: say A & M is now the underdog at six
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: and a half points. What are your picks for this week?
• 14:58
  Speaker 13: Ags.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: You're taking the points.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I'm taking the points.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: South Carolina. I'm laying the points.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: I would have taken double or triple South Carolina. I have,
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: I have, I mean, again, Love me some Mike Elko.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: It's just a gut feeling.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: I just want to get to the end of the season, boys.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: I just want to get to the end of the season.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: And figure this out.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: South Carolina has an advantage at every single position matchup.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: But South Carolina, in the month of November, turns back
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: into a pumpkin. Every October, they give their fan.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: Base false hope. They have a winning record. They start
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: to come back.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Shane Beamer shouts some crazy things.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: And in November, they start losing games. Very much so.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I just got a gut on this one, man.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Shrimp and grits.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I could be completely wrong.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Best strip of grits I ever had in my life.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: In the low country?
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: Sitting on a dock on a pier somewhere in South Carolina.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: And all they did, the restaurant only made one thing.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, shrimp and grits.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: All they did is shrimp and grits.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: The problem is you're not going to find it in Columbia.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: You've got to go to the coast.
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: Unbelievable.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Now I want shrimp and grits.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: And then what is it? Charleston? One of the best
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: eating towns in the country?
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: Charleston will change your life.
• 16:05
  Speaker 16: Oh, man.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: All right. I am going to pick for the purposes
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: of this one, South Carolina. Well, I already said that.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: We already know where I stand on this.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: So for the purpose, he's wanting to confirm what you did.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Just to confirm.
• 16:15
  Speaker 17: Just to confirm.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Should I lay action on our lines this week? Or
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: not our lines.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: Considering our lines are so bad, no.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: One, two, three.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Three, four.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I could make a nice eight-legger for each of us
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: right now and see what.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: You put down five bucks, tell us how it goes.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: As long as it's your money, I'm fine with it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if it's your money and Will's money, I'm perfectly
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: fine with it. Infomaniac money.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: All right. Lou, as always, thank you for coming in, man.
• 16:38

• 21:40
  Speaker 6: We don't really talk a lot of country music on
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: the show, but it's CMA season. Big deal for the industry.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: And I was shocked to read this. Sammy Kershaw has
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: got some beef with the business today.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: You don't say.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: No, he says, I just found out some disappointing news.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: It really hurts me. I have to share my disappointment
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: with the CMA. They have denied my request to walk
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: the red carpet for a few minutes at this year's
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: CMA Awards. And I'll have to say, I'm pretty sad
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: about that. They don't get to attend these events very often.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: They kind of strung them along in two weeks and said, nah, nah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: not giving you red carpet clearance. Mr. Kershaw, I know
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: he's been a touring artist for something like 50 years.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Something like that.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: Whatever, whatever. Happens, man. Look, that happens to the best
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: of us.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: You asked the question earlier today, speaking of country music.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: We were doing the fight song for Carolina. You played Sandstorm.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, I did. And you asked whether or not my
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: daughter's country and western team could put a routine to that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: And I said I would reach out to a coach.
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I have the response from the coach. Oh, do we?
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: They actually, okay, what do we got?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: He said, yes, absolutely, we can do it. Really? He
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: said they've done combos before to whatever it takes by
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Imagine Dragons and Me Too by Meghan Trainor.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: I can see that.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Probably some swing with a jit move or two mixed in.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, they'd be moving fast for sure.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: Man, I cannot calculate how many millions of views you
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: guys are going to get on that. Just remember to
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: thank your buddies.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about that because their barn dance is
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: tomorrow night at Legends Event Center, by the way.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: In case you're interested.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: Is that like you can just show up and watch?
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, there's people who buy tables.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to turn you away, especially
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: if you want to come in and donate some money.
• 23:25
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Take part in the raffles and whatnot.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: If they got raffles, man, you're good to go. One
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: more country story because I wanted to mention this in
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: relation to the Sammy Kershaw bit. Don't feel too bad
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: about this because this guy isn't allowed to walk the
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: red carpet either. I don't even think he's invited. Zach Bryan.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah. This is not really a radio thing because the
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: stories are too long. But if you ever want to
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: lose an hour of your life, just get me started
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: on the country music cartel. and their refusal to play
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Zach Bryan music.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It exists.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: It's a real thing. It happened to Willie Nelson back
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: in the day. It happened to Willie as well. It's
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: a tale as old as time. But keep in mind,
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: this is a guy who I don't think is even
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: a debate. Biggest country music, even though I don't think
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: he would consider himself country music anymore, but he's a
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: country guy. The biggest country music star on the planet.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: And....
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: No CMAs, no awards, no nothing. You sell out a
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: stadium ten times in a row. They will not play
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: him on country radio because he just didn't want to
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: do the promo. He didn't want to show up and
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: yuck it up with the wacky country DJs, of which
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: I was one. He didn't want to show up and
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: play free shows and do all the things that they
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: want their artists to do. It's a real tragedy. That said,
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: I cannot decide whether he's a scumbag or not. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: love Zach Bryan's music, but he kind of vacillates between
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: real weirdo and American hero for me. Check this story out.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: This is from Matthew McConaughey's podcast.
• 25:04
  Speaker 17: Is it true you give your commanding officer a cut
• 25:08
  Speaker 17: of royalties on every track since?
• 25:09
  Speaker 23: He's the reason I recorded any songs ever at all.
• 25:12
  Speaker 23: And I thought it was justified, man. He's the reason
• 25:15
  Speaker 23: I have any music at all. He's the reason we're
• 25:18
  Speaker 23: all here at this house pretty much. I wouldn't be
• 25:20
  Speaker 23: who I was without him saying I can record those songs.
• 25:24
  Speaker 23: And his kids call me their uncle. He comes to
• 25:26
  Speaker 23: shows all the time. And I give him a percentage
• 25:28
  Speaker 23: of every song that I release because that's how much
• 25:31
  Speaker 23: that meant to me.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: He gave his CO in the Navy points on every
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: song he has ever Record it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: That's huge.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: I cannot imagine how much money that is, but that
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: is a, that's one of the cooler stories.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It is cool.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Cooler stories.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: According to the, according to the AI, by the way.
• 25:52
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons Zach Bryan is not in, you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: tight with the CMAs. Yeah. He refuses to submit for nominations.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Good for him.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He just completely rejects the Nashville scene.
• 26:04
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: You know what, man? I, I, I can respect that.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Also pretty cool. A woman named Catherine Breed has become
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: the first person to swim the entire California coastline. She
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: swam the entire California coast.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: That's a long way.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: You want to know how long?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: It's cold. There's sharks.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah. 900 miles in 111 days. So she swam out
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: to sea in Oregon at the border on July 1st
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: and just kept swimming. Now, not all at once. During
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: the swim time, I cannot touch the boat.
• 26:40
  Speaker 24: And then when the swim's done for the day, we
• 26:41
  Speaker 24: mark that GPS coordinate and we go back to it
• 26:44
  Speaker 24: the next day to resume the stage part of the swim.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: Things that she encountered along her journey.
• 26:51
  Speaker 25: Oh, yes.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I'm curious.
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: Rough seas, crazy currents.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Tropical storms.
• 26:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Plural.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: She swam through multiple tropical storms and eight separate encounters
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: with the great white shark.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Eight any one of those things aside from the fact
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that i'm not in good enough shape to do it
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: would put me on the beach.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: How is there a second encounter and i'm not saying
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: that they're dead you know they're not the killers of
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: the sea i'm just saying that if i saw the
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: first time i saw one i would it's.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Like you know what yeah regardless of your percentages or
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: whatever else the fear that you would feel the From
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a great white shark encounter.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: What does a great white shark encounter entail when you're
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: attempting to swim? Because you're not going to just, I mean,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: do you just jump out and let it pass? Or
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: do you swim alongside it for a while and it
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: just kind of figures out it's not that interesting?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: In a related question.
• 27:53
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: How did she stop for bathroom breaks?
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: There's no bathroom breaks in the sea. That's the C is.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So you're saying it's like it's like it's a. Yeah. Right.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Because I know as soon as I saw that shark.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: That's about the only defense you have in that position.
• 28:39
  Speaker 26: That the Democratic Party's sweeping midterm victory could stall AI
• 28:43
  Speaker 26: infrastructure expansion. A new study from a Washington, D.C. think
• 28:47
  Speaker 26: tank asks regulators to block grocery Kroger's roughly $ 1. 6 billion
• 28:52
  Speaker 26: acquisition of Giant Eagle. saying the deal would increase prices
• 28:55
  Speaker 26: and harm unionized workers. The American Economic Liberties Project said
• 28:59
  Speaker 26: the acquisition would also expand the reach of Kroger's consumer

• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Will Welch. Bryan, police say the man wanted in connection
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: with the shooting death of 23-year-old Jalen Walter has turned
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: himself in. An arrest warrant was issued for 20-year-old Cameron
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Scott on Wednesday. He is accused of shooting Walter
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in an argument Tuesday night at the North Point Business Park.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: On Thursday, Scott surrendered himself to authorities and has been
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: being held on $ 300, 000 bond. College Station police arrested a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: man after he threatened to kill a door-to-door salesman. They
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: responded to a call in the Nantucket subdivision in South
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: College Station on Tuesday around 5 p.m. They were contacted
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: by a door-to-door salesman who says he was threatened by
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: a relative of a woman with whom he had recently spoken.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: The solicitor says he had scheduled an appointment with the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: woman to give her an estimate on new windows and
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: had moved on to another home. That's when 58-year-old Matthew
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Daniel Brown approached the salesman and threatened to kill him.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Brown claims he thought the salesman was trying to take
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: advantage of his 87-year-old mother and admitted to driving around
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood trying to track him down. Because the salesman
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: was in fear of imminent serious bodily injury, Brown was
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: arrested and charged with making a terroristic threat. He is
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: free on $ 3, 000 bond. The Snook Fire Department wants to
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: remind Burleson County residents that the county is still under

  Speaker 1: WTAW earlier this week about what to expect.

  Speaker 9: Horse meet and greet. There's going to be some yard games.
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: So I think it's going to be a lot of
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: fun hanging out at the barn. It's always peaceful out there.
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: It's a great time for friends and family to come
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: hang out, meet a horse, learn about something going on

  Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz is responding to the Republican losses in
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the 2026 midterms. On a recent podcast, Cruz called the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: results a major rejection of the GOP.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: It was not simply a bad 2006 midterm election. It
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: was a Watergate-level repudiation.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Cruz also acknowledged that he is now the only Republican
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: holding a statewide elected office. He criticized the Trump administration's policies,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: saying tariffs have made things too expensive and the war
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: with Iran has gone on too long.
• 37:06
  Speaker 26: Tariffs?
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Have made everything too expensive. And the Iran war has
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: dragged on too long. It should have been brief, decisive,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: and over.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Despite the political losses, Cruz said Republicans can rebuild and
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: predicts that Texas will turn red again. The picture is
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: becoming clearer as to who will be the next Speaker
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: of the Texas House.
• 37:31
  Speaker 30: It's been 23 years since a Democrat was elected Speaker
• 37:34
  Speaker 30: of the Texas House, but now that the Dems flipped
• 37:37
  Speaker 30: it on Election Day, we're seeing one name keep popping up.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I am proud to support Symphonia Thompson for Speaker of
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: the Texas House.
• 37:44
  Speaker 30: That was Houston State Rep Ann Johnson, and here's why
• 37:47
  Speaker 30: she supports the woman commonly referred to as the Dean
• 37:50
  Speaker 30: of the Texas House.
• 37:51
  Speaker 14: She is a civil rights icon.
• 37:53
  Speaker 30: She led the charge to protect victims of human trafficking
• 37:56
  Speaker 30: long before anybody was talking about it. First elected in 1972,
• 37:59
  Speaker 30: Thompson is the longest serving woman and black legislator in
• 38:03
  Speaker 30: Texas history.
• 38:04
  Speaker 27: I've been privileged to be in this house for about
• 38:08
  Speaker 27: 53 years, not because I didn't have anything.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Else to do.
• 38:10
  Speaker 30: Thompson has scheduled a news conference where she's expected to
• 38:13
  Speaker 30: announce her candidacy. In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.
• 38:19

  Speaker 6: member of the city.

  Speaker 1: No, as long as you don't sing, it's fine.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: Can you sing? Are you a vocalist? I just didn't know.
• 40:30
  Speaker 13: If you heard me sing in the shower, you would

• 40:34
  Speaker 9: Fair.

• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just wear it anyway. Just don't participate in the contest.

  Speaker 6: I mean, there are many reasons to go. It's a
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: great event, outdoors, beautiful night, one of my favorite movies.
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: It really will be enhanced if there is a large
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: number of inflatable T-Rexes out there for me.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I think that would be so cool.
• 41:28

  Speaker 31: new and developing players ages 6 to 13. Practices begin
• 42:22
  Speaker 31: the first week in January and the season runs through

  Speaker 13: Sign up for that.
• 42:55
  Speaker 31: Go to cstx.gov slash sports.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Did you say the age ranges on that were 6
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: to 13? 6 to 13.
• 43:01
  Speaker 13: So I can't.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Participate, which is unfortunate because that's right about my skill level.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, probably not for the 13s for me anymore.
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: I might struggle with a few of them, but yeah,
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: one more shot at glory. I can definitely beat some six-year-olds.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: I think I still got that.
• 43:21
  Speaker 13: You could not keep up with them.
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: That's the problem. It's the cardio. It's not the high.
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: It's the cardio.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: It's not the skill level. Those little suckers are fast.
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: They are quick.
• 43:32
  Speaker 31: And they're hard to guard because they run between your legs.
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: My knees are just not what they used to be.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: My back. I mean, I remember playing a lot of basketball.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: And I remember playing my dad, he was a little
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: bit shorter than me, but he was still, dad was
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: a pretty good, pretty good ball player in his day.
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: And even he would resort to what is referred to
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: as the weak old man's layup strategy of trying to
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: still get a win. When, you know, you were a
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: little slower. And that's when you just back them into the,
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: it just kind of like.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, the little sky hook.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: Hook shot it. If I might, if the game got
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: that slow, I might be able to. But again, they can.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Because then you got to run to the other end
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: of the court.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you got to beat, you got to run all
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: the way down and they can jump on you. It's just, it's, it's, yeah,
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: it's a shame. Growing old is not.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Besides those six-year-olds, man, they play dirty.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: If they're doing right. Yeah, absolutely.
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: We'd like to see.
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: What else, Colin?
• 44:30
  Speaker 31: Well, we have another food truck Wednesday set for next
• 44:32
  Speaker 31: week from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Wolf Pin
• 44:34
  Speaker 31: Creek Festival site. They're going to have live music, yard games,
• 44:38
  Speaker 31: and a lot of local food trucks. You can find
• 44:41
  Speaker 31: out what the food trucks are on the city's social
• 44:43
  Speaker 31: media pages on Monday. Pets, alcohol, glass containers are not allowed,
• 44:48
  Speaker 31: but free parking is available at the Myers Senior and
• 44:50
  Speaker 31: Community Center and Post Oak Mall. Also next week is
• 44:55
  Speaker 31: the Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial Board's annual Veterans Day ceremony.
• 44:59
  Speaker 31: That's Wednesday at 5.30 p.m. at the American Pavilion at
• 45:02
  Speaker 31: Veterans Park and Athletic Complex. They're going to have a
• 45:05
  Speaker 31: keynote address, honor wall roll call, patriotic music, a rifle salute,
• 45:10
  Speaker 31: and taps. In addition, the Bryan Rotary Club will display
• 45:13
  Speaker 31: more than 1,000 American flags throughout the park as part
• 45:16
  Speaker 31: of its Field of Valor beginning on Saturday.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 45:19
  Speaker 31: And the display will serve as a tribute to those
• 45:22
  Speaker 31: who have served and remains in place through November 15th.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Okay, very nice.
• 45:25
  Speaker 31: And the final thing, just talking about city council meetings
• 45:28
  Speaker 31: coming up, both council meetings in November fall on Mondays.
• 45:31
  Speaker 31: The first is November 16th, and the second is November 23rd.
• 45:35
  Speaker 31: At the November 16th meeting, the new mayor and council
• 45:37
  Speaker 31: member will take their oaths of office. Runoff election for
• 45:41
  Speaker 31: places one and five will be on Saturday, December 12th.
• 45:44
  Speaker 31: Whoever wins those races wins. will take their oaths of
• 45:48
  Speaker 31: office on Monday, December 21st.
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: So we're doing a pretty quick turnaround on that for
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: you guys.
• 45:52
  Speaker 13: As quick as possible.
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: That's, yeah, very cool. December 12th, my word.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Yep, and it's going to be here before you know it.
• 45:58
  Speaker 16: Yes, it will.
• 45:58
  Speaker 31: They'll have early voting for that, too, that starts on,
• 46:01
  Speaker 31: I believe, November 30th through December 8th.
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: Love it. Colin was also amongst the people out there
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: at the Browse Center with me.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: What do you fill your time with when you're out there?
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: I'm sure you have actual work that you're doing over
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: on your side.
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: Of the table.
• 46:16
  Speaker 31: We are when something actually happens, like we get results,
• 46:19
  Speaker 31: which they were delayed a little bit at times on
• 46:23
  Speaker 31: Tuesday night.
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: Okay, so when you're not getting results.
• 46:27
  Speaker 13: It's the same thing the.
• 46:27
  Speaker 31: Rest of you are doing, surfing the internet looking at
• 46:30
  Speaker 31: the other election results.
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: We should have pooled our resources for some catering at
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: some point.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: That was the only thing.
• 46:37
  Speaker 13: That's a great idea next time around.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: We can get together. Just get everyone in a room
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: and be like, okay. At least order some pizzas. I'm
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: not asking the county to provide food. That would be silly.
• 46:48
  Speaker 13: They did provide candy bars.
• 46:49
  Speaker 7: Very small, tiny ones.
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: They did, but I did appreciate that. Their candy game
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: was on point.
• 46:56
  Speaker 31: They thought I took too much advantage of it because
• 46:58
  Speaker 31: I missed dinner. I didn't have time for dinner.
• 46:59
  Speaker 13: I was scarfing those things.
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: They cut you off?
• 47:03
  Speaker 31: Well, they came by and looked, and I had this
• 47:05
  Speaker 31: stack of wrappers in front of me, and they just
• 47:07
  Speaker 31: kind of glared at me.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: His eyes were rolling back in his head. His blood
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: sugar was through the roof.
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: That's good.
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: We didn't get out of there until late night. That
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: sugar will see you through. Anything else you want to
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: get to today?
• 47:17
  Speaker 13: I think that's about it.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: All right, Colin. We appreciate it.
• 47:20

  Speaker 6: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 49:31
  Speaker 32: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 49:33
  Speaker 32: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 49:35
  Speaker 32: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 49:38
  Speaker 32: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 49:41
  Speaker 32: received a competitor's bid, which was five to 10 times
• 49:43
  Speaker 32: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 49:46
  Speaker 32: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 49:50
  Speaker 32: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 49:52
  Speaker 32: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 49:57
  Speaker 32: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
• 50:00
  Speaker 32: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
• 50:03
  Speaker 32: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 50:05
  Speaker 32: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
• 50:07
  Speaker 32: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
• 50:11
  Speaker 32: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
• 50:15
  Speaker 32: full-time employees. Why pay more if you can get everything

• 51:35
  Speaker 6: is looking pretty good today, getting up to maybe 80 degrees,
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: down to the mid-60s tonight. And as tomorrow comes into play,
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: maybe mid-70s for your high. Maybe mid-60s for the high
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: on Sunday. We're going to see. Low Sunday night should
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: be around 50 degrees is what they're calling for. So
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: enjoy it. Weather's brought to you by United Roofing and
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: Sheet Metal, home of the Duralast Roof System, home of
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: the world's best roof. Give them a call at 268-ROOF
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: or go to unitedroofingpros.com. I would like to call your
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: attention to a few years ago, probably maybe five years ago.
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: Do you remember... At some point, seeing a job listing
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: from NASA where they were offering some pretty good amount
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: of money. I think it was like maybe 100 grand,
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: 120 grand. But what you were going to have to
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: do was go on a simulated mission to Mars.
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: I maybe recall something about that.
• 52:34
  Speaker 6: The simulated mission to Mars involves locking yourself in a
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: room with... A group of other humans for 375 days.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Is this a TV show? Is it called The Real
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Out of This World?
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: No, it's The Real Thing. 378 days in isolation. And
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: I looked at it and I thought to myself, that
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: sounds awful. And then I forgot about it.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Just put it right out.
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: Of my mind. Well, they ended up doing it. And
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: they have concluded the mission.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a four-person crew took part in the simulated mission
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: to Mars, emerged after 378 days in Iceland.
• 53:15
  Speaker 18: We're extremely excited to get outside and experience the sunlight
• 53:19
  Speaker 18: for the first time in.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Over a year.
• 53:20
  Speaker 18: Alternatively, depending on the forecast, we're excited to get outside
• 53:25
  Speaker 18: and experience a torrential downpour for the first time in
• 53:28
  Speaker 18: over a year.
• 53:29
  Speaker 25: I'm excited by the new era of human spaceflight before us.
• 53:32
  Speaker 25: I look forward to the return of people to the moon.
• 53:35
  Speaker 25: the establishment of the moon base, and further exploration of Mars.
• 53:39
  Speaker 25: Humans on Mars are not a dream. It's an inevitable reality,
• 53:43
  Speaker 25: as long as we all keep working towards it.
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: They sounded remarkably chill for having gone through that experience.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering how medicated they were.
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: It could not have possibly been a big room.
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: No.
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, like what, this? Like what we're sitting in?
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you have four people in there, I
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: think the odds are pretty good. The odds are pretty
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: good that you can get along, that there might not
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: be like that oddball crazy one. Besides, it's not casting
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: like it was a reality show.
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: They're looking for people who will get along. But even then, dude,
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: like a year... Where you can't leave the room. Now,
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: they have chores. They have things they would have to do.
• 54:22
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: The kind of things to take your mind off. You're
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: not just sitting there in a corner staring at the
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: other three. But their whole thing was, can people even
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: do this?
• 54:32
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: And make it out with all of their marbles intact.
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: And it seems like they.
• 54:39
  Speaker 25: It's possible you picked the right people.
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, I guess there's some people that, like, if
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: you really want to get away from your life for
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: a minute, that's not a bad one-year reset.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: I would do it. If you would go with me,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: if we could do the show, live from the isolation.
• 54:53
  Speaker 6: Live from Mars?
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that would actually be, that could actually
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: probably go a long ways. Because then, you know, you're
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: kind of, you're at least staying in touch with the outside.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: World, right?
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: You still have the.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they were in touch with the outside world.
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's very much against the spirit of a
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: mission to Mars, though. Like, shouldn't you essentially be in solitary? Like,
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: walk out and say, wait a minute, Texas is a
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: blue state now?
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Hold on. Well, I know that's close to Armageddon for
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: these folks. But you want to know if you've got
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: a planet to come back to.
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: That's true. Or, yeah, you would want to know if
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: there is any way. You don't want to start that
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: journey and be surprised.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: You don't want to keep clicking the radio button. Hey,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: is anybody here?
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 55:37
  Speaker 16: Oh.
• 55:38
  Speaker 27: Oh.
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: We should have called first.
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: We should have brought more snacks. We should have called first.
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: Have a great weekend. We're 1620-945-WTAW.
