• 0:18
  Speaker 1: An employee reported finding 27-year-old Carlos Akia Meja passed out
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: inside the theater. Officers found the man shoeless, showing obvious
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: signs of intoxication with several empty cans of an alcoholic
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: beverage nearby. Ikela Meja was arrested and charged with public intoxication,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: theft under $ 100, and failure to identify. He is being
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: held on an ICE detainer. A driver who fell asleep
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: behind the wheel ended up crashing his car outside Navasota
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: City Hall Friday morning. Navasota police say they received reports
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of the crash just before 2 a.m. Dispatchers were able
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to view cameras positioned on City Hall to see the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: truck on its side and east lawn. The driver sustained
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: minor injuries. He told police he was traveling southbound on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Business 6 when he fell asleep. His truck struck a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: curb at Washington and LaSalle where he lost control of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the vehicle. Investigators say there were no signs of intoxication.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Fatigue and speed were cited as contributing factors in the crash.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: A Tarleton State University rodeo athlete was killed during competition.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Alejandra Ale Franco, a sophomore at Tarleton, was competing in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: breakaway roping Thursday night at a rodeo at Sul Ross
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: University in Alpine. Witnesses say her horse went out of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: control and Franco fell. The Tarleton State Rodeo team announced
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Franco's death Friday on Instagram. Officials have not released details
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: about Franco's injuries. Bluebell is being sued by the Equal
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC filed a lawsuit against the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Brenham-based company on behalf of a man who they say
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: was unlawfully terminated after requesting a religious accommodation. The Jewish
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: man was a body shop technician at Bluebell's production facility
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in Alabama. The suit alleges that Bluebell fired the man
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in March 2025, less than a month after refusing to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: shave his beard because of his religious beliefs. Bluebell claims
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the employee was fired over a timekeeping violation, while the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: EEOC claims it was retaliation and religious discrimination. The lawsuit
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: also claims the supervisor questioned the sincerity of the worker's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: religious beliefs on multiple occasions. An attorney for the EEOC
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: says they will continue to firmly enforce federal protections for
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: religious freedom. There's dismay after the state's top court ruled
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: against a woman on Texas death row.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: By a 5-4 ruling, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: rejected the Cameron County Trial Court's recommendation that Melissa Lucio
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: is actually innocent. In 2008, Lucio was convicted of killing
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: her two-year-old daughter and sentenced to die. Lucio's attorney, Vanessa Potkin,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: calls the court's ruling stunning and says new evidence has
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: proven Lucio's daughter died as a result of an accidental fall.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: The prosecutor's office itself conceded that there had been prosecutorial
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: misconduct at her trial and.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Agreed that her conviction should be overturned. Potkin says she
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: plans to appeal to a federal court. Barbara Schwartz, TSN News.

  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. Monday morning. Good morning.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: This is going to be a show about grievances today
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: because I got some.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You got you some?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I got some. I feel like everyone's got some. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: want to start with one of the weird ones. I
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: think this might be why I'm just generally in a
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: bad mood. My AC went out of my car.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, no.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: This is Thursday or so. No, probably halfway Thursday, Friday.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: So I go to the app. I make an appointment.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Sends me to one of the dealerships in town. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I get there. And I'm like, I know. I'm not
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: a fix-it guy, y'all, at all. But I can kind
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: of figure out what's going on.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Like, I can Google. I can watch YouTube.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So I know it's either one of three things. There's
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a leak in the coolant. Right? Or it's a compressor.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You know, those are, that's it. Maybe a sensor. I'll
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: throw a sensor in there for fun. I go in there.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I was like, okay, can you give me an oil change?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and do a quick service and get to
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: this thing. Even though I had an appointment. Oh, man,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you know, it's Saturday. We can't really. Okay, well, what
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: do I have to do? Just leave it here until Monday. Well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: they can diagnose it like the following Monday.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: What?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Like, wait, diagnose it. Like, I mean, you can just
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: take a look at it and find out that it's
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: not blowing cold air anymore. Yeah, I mean, they're that
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: backed up. I mean, in fairness, these kids looked like
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: they were not. particularly well-trained. You know, I don't know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there are people in a bad situation. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: hate the app books them for things they can't do
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and whatever, whatever.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But holy cow! And the hamstringing of the mechanics as well.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: The mechanics have to go by the book. They've got
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to do this, this, and this.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a thing. There's a whole process. There's a whatever. But, dude, they're, like,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: saying over. I was like, well, what happens after five days?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: And you figure out that the AC is, in fact, broken.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So that's a whole week has gone by. What about then? Like, well,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: then they got to schedule it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Or the parts. So, like, two weeks?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Like, well, maybe two weeks.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Dear God, no.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But, God, dude, it's just an AC. It's just an AC.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: How is it going to take you two weeks? Well,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, okay, look, how about this? Do
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you all have a loaner program or something where you could, like,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: lay one on me?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, they're not going to have that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: But, no, they didn't have that. Like, well, we have, like,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: a rental program. Like, okay, well, like, how can you
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: hook me up with a rental?
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're booked out for like the next four months.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: How would you be booked.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Out for four months?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Is your car still under any type of warranty?
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Of course it is. That's why I took it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the only reason I would take anything to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a dealership.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: No, I never, that's, if I needed to take it
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to a shop, I would have taken it to a shop.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: This is like, this is a freebie.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: This is a freebie. And part of me wonders, is
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: it because it's a freebie? that they don't want to
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: do any work on it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: No, they get paid. The shop gets paid essentially the same.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: They get paid on a warranty essentially the same way. But, yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: getting your car worked on is a mess. It's better
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: at local shops if you can do that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Always, yeah. I've got two or three local shops I
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: can take to and get it knocked out in like
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: 30 seconds. I don't want to pay for it because
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I guess it's on me. But I will say this. Because, anyway,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: long story short, an AC is not working in the car.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Well, no big deal.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I'll just roll my windows down.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I'll be able to still do it. Dude, I don't
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: know if it's because I got spoiled to how cold
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: that AC is. Rolling the windows down doesn't help.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: No, the old 260 AC does not work.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: No, it does not. Not in any stretch of the imagination.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: It wasn't even that crazy hot this weekend.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a little lucky that it was 10
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: degrees cooler than it had been.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I was out in it this morning. I was like, okay,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: roll the windows down. Dude, it was hotter than it did.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I just rolled the windows up to the side.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do this week? When it
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: starts raining, Tucker.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to suffer. I'm just going to have
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to sit there in a little terrarium.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The windows are going to fog up. You're not going
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to be able to see. Next thing you know, you'll
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: be in the lawn of the City Hall in Navasota.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what's going to happen. I have no idea
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: what I'm going to do about this. I mean, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: guess I'll just rent a car and bite the bullet.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Tucker.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: RIP to my sanity this week. Oh, by the way,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I guess we should talk weather.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I was hoping that hint would get you there. Yes,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: When so you tell me, because I know there's been
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: like whenever you log on to Facebook at this point,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: you hear a lot of a lot. It's going to
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: be this is going to be after eight inches of written.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Like, come on. Yeah. The ones that are trying to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: get the clicks.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: What's really going to happen?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I think that there's the possibility of us getting several.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to multiple inches, which means three to five out of this.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: What a dream. It would be very nice to do so.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: What a dream. We're going to start with rain chances
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and we will carry rain chances according to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: this forecast for a solid week.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: And what's great about that is the temperatures are reflective
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: of a whole lot of rain, which means a lot lower.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Our Saturday high, 81.
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: 81.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Our Tuesday high, currently 75. Dare I say.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Dare I say.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You know what would bring me down off of my.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Almost makes me want to say the F.
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: Word, Will.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You know what will bring me down.
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: Fall.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You'll bring me down off of my pedestal of anger
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: from the weekend. It would be a nice bout of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: rain and cool temperatures.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: We're going to get to Will's grievances because they are many.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: They are many this morning. And by the way, none
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: of those grievances have anything to do with the A
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: & M- LSU game, which is a whole different topic.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Somebody played football this weekend?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: We're going to have a fun show. This is going
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: to feel every bit like a Monday.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Very much.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: We'll try to make it as painless as possible. By
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the way, getting up to a high of 96 today,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: so that's going to be it. Fun to drive. Why
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: did I wear long pants today?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: No one knows. Weather's brought to you by our friends
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: at Malik and Carrier. Keep your AC running properly. It's important.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Call Malik.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Feel the difference. Back after this.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: We've all heard the promise, I'll eliminate property tax. It
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: sounds great until you ask how. The truth, if the
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: state doesn't pay its fair share for our schools, that
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: money has to come from somewhere. Often, that means a
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: massive hike in sales tax, hitting every single thing you
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: buy for your kids. I'm Janet Dudding, and I won't
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: give you a slogan.
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: I'll give you the truth.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: We need a state government that stops shifting the burden
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: onto local homeowners. Let's get real relief, not empty promises.

• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to complain all day. There's positive stuff
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: to talk about.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Sure there is. There's a ton.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe you have some stuff to share. 979-695-1620 is our
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: phone number.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Also, our text number. Let's get started. Maybe you have
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: some reasons to celebrate.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I would hope you do. I mean, there's got to
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: be a few of them that are out there. If not,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: that's what this segment is for. Like, for instance, today,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: if you're looking for something to celebrate, family day.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Family Day is a good thing.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Fourth Monday of September every year. It is a national holiday.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Not a national holiday. A national day of observance signed
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: into law by Jimmy Carter. No, wait, no, that's not it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: That's not Family Day. That's another one. Scratch that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I was about to say.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Family Day is just made up. It's encouraging parents to
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: actually spend time with their kids, particularly around the dinner table,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: which many people have found interesting. is kind of gone
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: the way of the dinosaurs. Not a lot of families
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: sit down and eat dinner together.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: We try to do it every so often, but of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: course our family got one kid scattered these days. But
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I guess we could celebrate because we hosted a baby
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: shower on Saturday. So Family Day and baby shower, that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: kind of goes hand in hand. All right.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: National Good Neighbor Day. This is the one that Jimmy
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Carter issued a proposition recognizing.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: That sounds very Jimmy. It did.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: That's pure Jimmy Carter. That's vintage Carter right there. Becky
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Mattson's a lady that lived in Montana and said we
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: should have a holiday to designate good neighbors. They settled
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: on September 28th, and here we are. Fish tank floor
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: show nights. The premise is really weird. Turn off the TV,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: pull up chairs in front of the aquarium, and watch
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the fish provide the evening's entertainment.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, these people are taking substances.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, number one, I think you would need to enhance
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: that activity. Number two, I mean, minus Riley, who we
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: know has like a million fish tanks. Do you know
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: anyone who's got a fish tank in their house?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: No, I mean... Riley's the only one. Essentially, I guess
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I've got one out the back door. I mean, some
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: people call them tanks. It's a pond.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: And it's got fish in it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, not the same.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Not the same?
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: Not the same.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I was going to use it as an excuse to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: go fishing this evening.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Instead of Netflix, you're supposed to just like, you know...
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Watch the fish.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: No, don't watch the fish. Go fishing.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: National Drink Beer Day.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Dun, dun, dun. Indeed. I've got a prop right here, Tucker.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Another beer.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I'll do you now.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I do have a prop right here. What is that?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: This was delivered.
• 14:53
  Speaker 19: Oh, my word.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: This was delivered to the studio on Sunday evening last night.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Please show that to the camera because I'm going to
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: need that. Oh, what on earth?
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: How?
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: What do you mean it was delivered?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: It was delivered here by one of our coworkers, Daniel.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Daniel.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Who pushes buttons over on the sports talk station. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: think occasionally he goes by a pseudonym and drops a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: show on the candy.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: That is really Alamo beer.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And he went to San Antonio this weekend. And before
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: he went, he said, man, I'm going to San Antonio.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: If I run into some of this, you'll want some.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Of course we want some.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Dumb question, Daniel.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I lived in San Antonio for many, many years. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: honestly thought. That we were, that was a promotional thing
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: that was gone.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I thought it was.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: There was no more Alamo beer.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Last year it came out.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: For like five seconds.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: We talked about the drop of Alamo beer. I went
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to the local grocery-atoriums.
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I spoke to the management at the grocery-atoriums. I was
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: told we would not be getting it here.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And I was very upset about that. I thought it
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: was gone until Daniel texted me.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, so now a question. You have a sixer of
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Alamo beer.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. Are you going to drink it?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to drink at least one of them.
• 16:06
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: So you'll sample one.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I will sample one. I will put a full one
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on display next to my Billy beer can.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Which is actually down at the Airbnb.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I've got a display of cool stuff. Right on. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the Alamo beer will go up there next to the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Billy beer.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I think that is fair.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Now, the other remaining five. Let's do the math. One,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: two gone. The other remaining four.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got four more.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm going to do with.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that's beer for drinking. I think
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: that's beer for keeping, which is kind of a bummer.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Wish it would have brought two six-packs so you could
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: add one to life.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You got all the San Antonio peeps down there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: No one told me they even exist. I've never heard
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: one person say they still get Alamo beer.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I have to drink one.
• 16:53
  Speaker 18: That's why.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I have to drink one.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, on principle. You drink it in the alley, though.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: When it says God intended.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's true. That's true.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's certain observances that need to be held.

  Speaker 5: Nice.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Back after this with news.

  Speaker 22: What kind of home do.
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: You live in?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: We live in a two-bedroom high-rise condo.
• 18:59
  Speaker 23: A three-bedroom family home.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: In the suburbs.
• 19:02
  Speaker 24: A farmhouse on our family ranch passed down through generations.
• 19:07
  Speaker 22: It doesn't matter where you live or what kind of
• 19:10
  Speaker 22: home you have. You all have one thing in common.
• 19:13
  Speaker 22: Gina Hinojosa voted to increase your property taxes. Not once,
• 19:17
  Speaker 22: not twice, but 40 different times Gina Hinojosa voted to
• 19:22
  Speaker 22: raise your property taxes.
• 19:24
  Speaker 13: If she has her way, you'll be priced out of
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: your own home.
• 19:27
  Speaker 22: Gina Hinojosa is too radical to be governor of Texas. Luckily,
• 19:32
  Speaker 22: Governor Greg Abbott has a better plan.
• 19:35
  Speaker 16: We have to stop the insanity and instead give you
• 19:40
  Speaker 16: a different property tax relief that will do more than
• 19:43
  Speaker 16: cut your property tax bill in half forever. You're going
• 19:46
  Speaker 16: to be able to live in your home for the
• 19:48
  Speaker 16: rest of your lives without.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: being priced.
• 19:50
  Speaker 19: Out of it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 22: Greg Abbott, governor.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Hello, Brazos Valley.
• 19:57
  Speaker 18: This is Brandon Eisenman with Dean and Draper Insurance. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 18: don't know about you, but it seems to me that
• 20:02
  Speaker 18: inflation has really taken a bite out of our lives
• 20:05
  Speaker 18: over the last couple of years. It feels like everything
• 20:08
  Speaker 18: has increased. from groceries to vehicles and from property taxes to, yes, insurance.
• 20:14
  Speaker 18: And speaking of insurance, the cost of home and auto
• 20:17
  Speaker 18: insurance has risen more in the last two years than
• 20:19
  Speaker 18: I've witnessed in my career, and it's absolutely impacting our budgets.
• 20:23
  Speaker 18: It can be very frustrating. At Dean and Draper Insurance,
• 20:27
  Speaker 18: we can't promise to solve the inflation problem, but we
• 20:29
  Speaker 18: can shop several high-quality insurance companies to provide you with
• 20:33
  Speaker 18: a competitive solution tailored to your specific needs. So if
• 20:37
  Speaker 18: you're looking for an alternative to rising insurance costs, give
• 20:40
  Speaker 18: us a call at 694-1555 or visit us at deandraper.com,
• 20:46
  Speaker 18: and we'll work hard to provide you with the best
• 20:48
  Speaker 18: value for your specific insurance needs.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Always by your side.
• 20:53
  Speaker 25: Hey, have you been paying attention to what's happening with
• 20:56
  Speaker 25: gold and silver right now? Central banks around the world,
• 20:59
  Speaker 25: they're buying record amounts of gold to diversify their reserves. Now,
• 21:03
  Speaker 25: at the same time, silver demand is skyrocketing, because it
• 21:06
  Speaker 25: is critical for solar power, electronics, AI infrastructure. Now, if
• 21:10
  Speaker 25: you've noticed recent price pullbacks, remember that temporary pullbacks are
• 21:15
  Speaker 25: just normal market corrections in a long-term trend, and major
• 21:19
  Speaker 25: financial institutions are now forecasting strong potential growth for both
• 21:23
  Speaker 25: gold and silver over the next few years. Physical metals
• 21:26
  Speaker 25: don't rely on the stability of any single government or bank,
• 21:30
  Speaker 25: making them a time-tested hedge against inflation and market volatility.
• 21:35
  Speaker 25: That's exactly why I like to be a customer of Goldco. Now,
• 21:38
  Speaker 25: they're offering my audience a free gold and silver kit. Plus,
• 21:42
  Speaker 25: you can qualify for up to 10% free silver just
• 21:44
  Speaker 25: for getting started.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Call now, 855-815-GOLD. That's 855-815-GOLD. 855-815-GOLD.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, Infomaniacs here. 979-695-1620 is our phone number.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Love getting your phone calls. I also love getting your
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: text messages. Like Mike, who texts in, it's Hillary Duff's birthday.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: National Drink Beer Day. This should be a Simpsons episode
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: with Hillary Duff beer.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: It should be.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: It's not bad, Mike.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: You know, this summer I went to Springfield, Oregon, where...
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of Simpsons props there.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: One of the many Springfields across our fair land. And
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Curtis is confused. I've looked at three different weather apps.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Where are you getting your weather from? I see no
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: eyes in the 70s. Please explain.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I get it from a combination, actually, of several places,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: but primarily for this forecast. It was weather bug, so
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I did go. I actually jumped through some hoops and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: screenshotted my weather bug forecast on my phone and emailed
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it to myself at my laptop computer. and then downloaded
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: it and included it in the response to Curtis. So
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: just so you know, we're working for you.
• 22:59
  Speaker 14: We are.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: We are, Curtis.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Now, to be fair, Curtis, these days where you're seeing
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: like 78 is a high, 75 is a high, 76
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: is a high, that's next Monday.
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Not today.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Not now.
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: We're not getting 70s this week.
• 23:11
  Speaker 20: No.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: You might get some 80s by Friday. By the way,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: by Friday, yeah, 83 is your high. Today, though, 95.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: 95.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: You're looking at a usual song.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: And dance starting out in the 80s. But things are changing.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Feeling rather, as you described it, F-word in the mornings.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: F-A-L-L, perhaps. Perhaps.

  Speaker 14: Tallarico said defending trans Texas is something we have to

• 33:33
  Speaker 17: my options. They told me what my out-of-pocket cost would
• 33:36
  Speaker 17: be after insurance. They took the complication out of an
• 33:39
  Speaker 17: otherwise very stressful situation. They took off the damaged roof,

  Speaker 17: put on the new roof, did all the cleanup, and

  Speaker 1: Oh, shall we?
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, let's. You might remember on Friday we were discussing
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Will had had some Airbnb.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the second year that I'd had Airbnb
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: rented by a women's organization at Texas A & M University.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those That uses phrases like
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: in their keywords, like integrity and service.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: It's a service fraternity or sorority, which is supposedly different
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: than a regular sorority.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they operate under a little bit different
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: rules and so forth. Well, I rented to them a
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: year ago. And outside of a noise complaint and a
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: couple of other things, it wasn't horrible. And I met
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: with them afterwards. And I said, okay, yeah, we can
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: do this this year. We can do it again.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: EFT.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: If we change a couple of things.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: And you said you were satisfied with the interaction, booked
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: him again this year.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I allowed them to come back. I mean, in
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the back of my mind, it was kind of maybe
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a little probationary.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: A little bit of a gray area, but still.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: And I allow, a lot of Airbnbs don't allow parties
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and ring dunks and that sort of thing. And I
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: For obvious reasons.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: For obvious reasons. And I am going to have to
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: reconsider my stance on it after what I discovered Friday
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: after the show. This is horrible. I drive back to
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the house, and Friday's going to be pretty stacked anyway
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: because we've got to set up for a baby shower
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that we're having on Saturday.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: And then you have the game that night.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: And we have the game that night and all the things.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: So I drive back to the house, and we have
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: a dumpster at the B & B, which serves as
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: our own personal household place. you know, waste as well
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: as the waste for the B and B. It's an incredible,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: it's an incredible tool to have out there and it's
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: a great value. So I, I, as soon as I
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: pull in the driveway, I see the dump. Well, I
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: don't really see the dumpster. I see the dumpster covered
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: in refuse.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Covered. Why would we be covered?
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I mean like overflowing. Yeah. Stacked as high as the
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: dumpster is on top of the dumpster.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a tower.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: It's a tower. They built a trash tower of things.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: And I pulled up to it, and I said, okay,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: now I've got to go see the house. I didn't
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: even stop. In fact, I think I snapped a picture
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: at that moment and sent.
• 37:08
  Speaker 21: It to you.
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: Yes, you did.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: You sent it to me, and it was like, I
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: believe I'm hosed. And I was like, oh, no, this
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: is bad. Because, yeah, if there's that much trash, that
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: means a party had commenced. You have a party commenced.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: What does the inside of the house look like?
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: So the inside of the house, I get down there,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: and first of all, the back patio is essentially mud.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: They had had an inflatable water slide. I knew, I
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: knew they had had that before. And that's one of
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the things I talked to them about the year prior.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I said, you guys have to put down some towels,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: some stuff like that. You can't track up the floors
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: like you did last year.
• 37:46
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: They did.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Life found a way.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to have to pressure wash the patio.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: There's going to be an additional cleaning charge and a
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: lot of hard work on those floors. The garbage can,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: they're supposed to, part of my checkout procedures, you take
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: all the garbage to the dumpster and put it away.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: And it's really easy. Then you wash, you put the
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: towels in the washer and you start it.
• 38:09
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Start the dishes. Easy stuff.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: That's your standard Airbnb process as far as I know.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: So I've got white towels, which I threw in the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: dryer late last night that I'm praying the mud came
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: out of. Um, and then, you know, the, the floors
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: are filthy. I I've got a power washer. I got
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to move. I have like a fire pit and stuff
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: on the back patio. It's not a one man job
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: to lift that thing and get it back on the patio.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I've got to move all of that stuff on the patio.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: They moved it around all the side of the house.
• 38:39
  Speaker 28: Okay.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question about the floors?
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: What level of like, Were they that thing where you
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: walk over them and it sounds like Velcro?
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 38:47
  Speaker 25: Whoa, no.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just mud and grass on the floors. It
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: was like sticky.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Party floor.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Party floor. 2 a.m.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Bar room floor.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So then I proceed back down to the dumpster.
• 38:58
  Speaker 27: Right.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Because my thought is, okay, this is horrible, number one.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But number two, we're hosting a baby shower tomorrow.
• 39:04
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: And this is our household garbage as well.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: So I call the dumpster company and they're like, they're
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: really great. But they're like, we can't get out there
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: until Monday.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, Monday's too late. I have no place to put
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the refuse from our baby shower that we're hosting for
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: like 60 people.
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: So my daughter, she calls. They don't have school, but
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: she had had cheer practice or something on Friday. She calls.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: She's on her way home, and I'm... I'm fuming. And
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: she says, dad, I'm on my way home. I'm going
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: to help you out.
• 39:33
  Speaker 19: Oh, wow.
• 39:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: My daughter of the year dog.
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: She's awesome. So she gets home and she pops into
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: her bedroom to change clothes. And she comes out in
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: this cute little outfit. I was like, no, darling. You
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: don't want to go back and change into stuff that
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: you don't want anymore.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: We're about to go dumpster diving.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Which is exactly what we did. We, by hand, offloaded
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the wooden and metal props. And there's wood and metal,
• 39:57

  Speaker 3: to Home Depot and is like, yeah, give me the
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Bear Ultra Premium. I've got to paint some signs. Tell
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: me you're a rich kid without telling me you're a
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: rich kid.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Nothing but the best for the Royals.
• 40:51
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Nothing but the best for them.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: So, and.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I think even worse than the paint, which is hazardous material.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which you can't just toss in a dumpster, by
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: the way. It's paint.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: And before I continue on, at this point, I had
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: messaged on the app to my point of contact saying
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: this is unacceptable. However, I will give you a chance
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to rectify this situation before I write my review.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Call some mates. Call some collegiate professionals.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Grab some people with a pickup truck and come offload this.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Get the trash out of my dumpster. I could have
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: lived with the floors. I could have lived with the
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: metal framework that you threw away. The floors, I could
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: have lived even with the entry rugs, which are lost.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're gone. I could toss them. But the
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: garbage was the real thing. So, after my daughter changes clothes,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: we go down there and we unload all that stuff.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: In the worst, you guys have all smelled this at
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: one point in time or another. Oh, no, I didn't
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: even think about this. It's those empty alcohol cans and
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: bottles that have been put into trash bags.
• 41:51
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And have been in the sun.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: They've been simmering for 24 hours.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: And partially some inside and some outside of a dumpster,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: which is like the pressure cooker for garbage. That smell.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Oh God. So she and I got in there and we,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: we made two, right. Two trips to the landfill, which
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, the landfill, especially
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: going down William D. Fitch road.
• 42:17
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: It, it is, it's a, it's a 40 minute trip
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: from my house and one way. So I spent three
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: hours on the road offloading this stuff.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: I just, You know, Garrett Texan, you know, one of
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: the things about house paintings, it can be custom tinted,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: so perhaps they wanted the exact, you know, the exact
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: palette for whatever these dumb signs were.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I think you could probably custom tint just about anything,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: or you can pick something from the palette that's cheap.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Again, like, so what did they do? Did they help
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: you out?
• 42:44
  Speaker 13: Nothing?
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: No, nothing. Nothing? In fact, yeah.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: They just said, good luck, sir.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Good luck, sir. After Saturday night after the game, when
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I was in a fine mood.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Shockingly unservice-like, by the way.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I decided to go ahead and post the review.
• 43:03
  Speaker 18: Oh, no.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: And the moment I posted the review, I did hear
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: back from my point of contact saying, we're not going
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: to talk to you anymore. If you want any money,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you have to go through the app to get it,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: which is a real, real pain.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: We're not going to talk to you anymore. They just go,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: they blocked your number, ghosted you.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean. That's whatever.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: College kids, man.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm in contact with people.
• 43:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: I'm in contact with people.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: One final question. Do they get a chance to review you?
• 43:31
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Is this going to break your five-star streak?
• 43:33
  Speaker 19: It might.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Well, man, I feel like you get an asterisk for this, though.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, for sure.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, surely.
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: And if you look at surely if you look at
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: 58 consecutive five star reviews and then there's one star
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: right after that. Yeah, go ahead.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: There might be a story.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: You know, look, just post the post the audio of
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: this segment to your to your site. Got to take
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: a break.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: Hi, this is Neal Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 44:00

  Speaker 4: directly from me to your mailbox. there's no publishing house
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: no retail markups to run up your cost as i

  Speaker 4: close out the final printing here's an offer i've never
• 45:11

  Speaker 4: A signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: dot com. Let's start with your choices in spring color plants.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: There are three basic categories. You have annuals, perennials, and
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: you have bulbs. Each brings its own special merits and
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: charm to the garden, and each deserves space in your plantings.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: Most will do best in full or nearly full sunlight,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: and all need good drainage.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: You'll want to.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Prepare the soil carefully before you start planting. Mix in
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: several inches of organic matter. whether you're dealing with a
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: clay or a sandy soil, and rototill to a depth
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: of 8 to 12 inches. Concentrate your color plantings, as
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: you should also do during the summer, in spots where
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: you want special attention. That means that you'll want a
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: planting near the front door or around the patio. Use
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: them where people will see them. Mask colors for the
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: best effect. Rather than planting a big bed of pansies
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: in a mixture of colors, Use all of one color
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: or mix two contrasting colors uniformly throughout the bed. You'll
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: get more show and much less space. Remember also that
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: brighter colors seem to come forward visually, so they'll draw
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: the eye from much greater distances. Darker or pastel colors
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: seem to make a landscape larger since they don't pop
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: out visually. You want to plan for a full season
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: of color. While some bulbs may only bloom for a
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks, annual flowers will bloom for months. Know
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: your plant's probable blooming time before you plant, and then
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: try to develop a sequence of flowering for your various beds.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: Hopefully you'll always have something in flower. Try some of
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: your color in large pots. Not only will it give
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: it special emphasis to the plantings, but it also will
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: allow you to have color in places where maybe you
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: couldn't have done so otherwise, such as within entryways, on
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: decks and balconies, and in window box gardens. You'll also
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: be able to move the pots into the garage during
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: periods of unusually cold weather. Annuals that you might want
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: to plant now include snapdragons and pinks. That's dianthus, Iceland
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: and California poppies, flowering cabbage and ornamental kale and primroses.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: The best all-around color for cooler parts of Texas would
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: be pansies, hands down. That would be violas as well.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: Concentrate on the smaller flowering types for the best landscaping
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: show and throw in a bed or border of violas just.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: To top it all off.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: If it's spring flowering perennials you want, candy tough, violets, oxalis, ajuga, shasta, daisies, iris,
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: the various evening primroses, galardias, coreopsis, daylilies, and purple coneflowers.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: That's our program for today. I'm Neal Sperry. Fall is
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: the time to compost. In our next program, until then,
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: happy gardening.

• 49:48
  Speaker 23: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 49:52
  Speaker 23: on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie football team fell 2-2 on the
• 49:57
  Speaker 23: season after dropping a 35-6 decision to LSU on Saturday
• 50:02
  Speaker 23: night at Tiger Stadium. Head coach Mike Elko recapped the game.
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: I don't have many words. We have to find a
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: way to play better football. We're not playing football at
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: nearly a good enough level, obviously. That's the understatement of
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: a lifetime. I don't have answers right now at this second,
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: but we've got to find them and we've got to
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: find them fast. We have to play better football. We
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: got out game 5-0-6 to 1-97. We just got our
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: butts whooped. We have to play better football. We have
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: to be able to run what we're trying to run.
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: We have to be able to execute what we're trying
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: to execute. I think we've got to look at everything.
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: Not that we haven't been already, but we have to
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: look at everything and figure it out. Yeah, I thought
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: they got us on a couple things. They got us
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: on a pick route where they rubbed us a little
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: bit and got open, like not an illegal pick route,
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: but a pick route and got open. So I felt
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: like at halftime we were in a decent spot, and
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: then it just went to total in the second half.
• 50:54
  Speaker 23: Next up, the Aggies return to Kyle Field this Saturday
• 50:57
  Speaker 23: night to face Arkansas with a 6 o'clock kickoff. The
• 51:01
  Speaker 23: A & M soccer team fell 5-2 in their match
• 51:03
  Speaker 23: against the Florida Gators yesterday afternoon. The Gators had a
• 51:07
  Speaker 23: 4-0 lead at halftime and the Aggies were never able
• 51:11
  Speaker 23: to recover in the second half from the lead advantage.
• 51:14
  Speaker 23: Up next, the Marin White hit the road again on
• 51:16
  Speaker 23: Friday as they travel to Georgia to take on the
• 51:18
  Speaker 23: Bulldogs with first kick set for 5-30. The Aggie volleyball
• 51:22
  Speaker 23: team secured a dominant sweep against South Carolina yesterday afternoon
• 51:27
  Speaker 23: to open up conference play at Reed Arena. The 3-0
• 51:30
  Speaker 23: sweep against the Gamecocks improves head coach Jamie Morrison's SEC
• 51:35
  Speaker 23: Openers record to 3-1. Coach Morrison shared thoughts on his
• 51:39
  Speaker 23: team's performance.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: The SEC is a deep conference.
• 51:41
  Speaker 27: So to be able to come out and play like that,
• 51:43
  Speaker 27: I thought we were really dialed in, really focused. And
• 51:46
  Speaker 27: I thought we played really clean volleyball from beginning to end.
• 51:48
  Speaker 27: So I'm really proud and really fired up and excited
• 51:51
  Speaker 27: for our team. I think also just in terms of, again,
• 51:53
  Speaker 27: the progress that's been happening day to day, week to week.
• 51:55
  Speaker 27: So a really good step in the right direction. I
• 51:58
  Speaker 27: think that's the thing that fires me up the most.
• 51:59
  Speaker 27: And again, I talk about meaning and cause of why
• 52:01
  Speaker 27: we're here is to invest in our athletes and develop
• 52:03
  Speaker 27: one through 16 that are on our roster. So to
• 52:06
  Speaker 27: be able to have one through 16 step on the
• 52:08
  Speaker 27: floor and contribute, again, against a good volleyball team and
• 52:10
  Speaker 27: be able to play like that, that means everything to me. Again, myself,
• 52:13
  Speaker 27: our staff, we're doing the right things and investing time
• 52:16
  Speaker 27: in everybody.
• 52:17
  Speaker 23: Next up, the Aggies return to Reed Arena on Friday
• 52:20
  Speaker 23: night to host Alabama with first serve set for 630.
• 52:24
  Speaker 23: In high school football, College Station beat A & M
• 52:27
  Speaker 23: Consolidated 45-27. Bryan fell in their game 27-21. Navasota beat
• 52:31
  Speaker 23: Columbia 46-27. Brazos Christian won their game 42-8 against Holy Cross.

  Speaker 23: Houston Texans lost 19-17 to the Indianapolis Colts, and the
• 53:01
  Speaker 23: Dallas Cowboys fell in their game by three points to
• 53:04
  Speaker 23: the Baltimore Ravens, losing 34-31. In the MLB over the weekend,
• 53:09
  Speaker 23: the Houston Astros won the AL West with an 81-81
• 53:13
  Speaker 23: record after beating the Athletics 9-0 last night. And the
• 53:17
  Speaker 23: Texas Rangers fell in their final game of the season
• 53:20
  Speaker 23: 6-4 against the Minnesota Twins. That's your morning sports update
• 53:25
  Speaker 23: on 1620-945-WTAW. I'm Riley Flurkey.
• 53:33
  Speaker 28: From the initial downbeat to the closing cymbal choke, the
• 53:36
  Speaker 28: beat goes on with the Phil Collins story. From his
• 53:41
  Speaker 28: remarkable chart-topping time with Genesis to his multi-Grammy winning solo career,
• 53:46
  Speaker 28: don't miss the Phil Collins story. A monumental tribute to
• 53:50
  Speaker 28: one of music's greatest icons. Presented by Opus, Wednesday, October

• 54:18
  Speaker 3: set yourself up for a retaliatory negative review. I've gotten
