  Speaker 6: And what are we looking at today, you might ask? Well,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: getting hot and maybe a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Much like yesterday. Actually, don't really hold out for that chance.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: We're just dealing hot today. 99 for the official high,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: 110 for the feels like.
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, boy.
• 3:33

  Speaker 6: your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. Did you
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: watch the Emmys last night?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I did not. I haven't watched an award show in
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you how long.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Oh, I was being sarcastic. There was no way I
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: was watching it. I could care less.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I have a limited amount of time to watch the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: amount of stupidity that goes on. Although I do, of course,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: because of our jobs.
• 4:07
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I will go back and look over as to what happened.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: That's the thing is, is if you do a radio show,
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: there's an expectation. It might just be years of trauma
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: of working for people who are like, no, you have
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: to talk about these award shows. People really care about
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: these award shows. I would argue they don't.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: They don't.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: But, you know, whatever. So it gets in there and
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: you think there's a reflexive action that we have to
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: we have to tell you who won the Emmys last night.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: And I realized, no, we don't tell you who won
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: the Emmys. You can Google that. We just need to
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: tell you all the stuff about the Emmys that was weird.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very strange.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: And there was plenty of it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It was odd. I mean, the stuff I've watched, it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: was hosted, by the way, if you don't know, by
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Mariska Haggerty, of course, of... Hargitay. Whichever, you know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 10: And.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So she did a pretty fair job hosting. First time
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that a woman has hosted in 15 years. She did
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: mention something about the previous two hosts that were women.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Trying not to get another woman to host so that
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: they could be the last ones. Tina Fey.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, right on.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So just kind of funny. There was a funny moment
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: when she was asking people in the audience, the stars,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: what their first jobs were. And Nick Offerman said that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: he was an erotic painter.
• 5:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And she asked him, men or women? And he said, houses.
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Which I thought was a pretty decent little line from
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Nick there.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, not bad.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But the setups, I couldn't even get through the videos
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of the setups that they did because they were just
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: too long. There was one that they did with Taylor
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Swift that was four minutes long. That's far too much.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: A four-minute bit with Taylor Swift, and that's not even
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: the biggest Taylor Swift thing that was out yesterday. She
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: was in the suite with Tom Cruise. It's getting worse
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: at the NFL games.
• 5:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: It's getting so much worse.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 5:53
  Speaker 11: There he is.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: I saw this happen. I was like, what would they
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: possibly have? Why is he here? Why is he here?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: He's recruiting Scientologists.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: That's the thing. You better not talk to him too long.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: He can go brainwashing. He's going to put that voodoo
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: on you. He's on a pitch.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: But yeah, then you told me as we were kind
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: of kicking around for the show. that Chuck Norris somehow
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: got snubbed.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So they do the in memoriam where they talk about
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the people who passed away over the previous year.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Big names.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And Chuck Norris was left off the list.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: How?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. If you go back and kind of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: look at it, he's never won an Emmy.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I don't expect him to win an Emmy,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: but here's my question. How long was Walker, Texas Ranger
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: a show?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Walker, Texas Ranger ran for eight full seasons, 196 episodes. See, okay.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: So that was Walker, Texas Rangers. My child was back
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: in the day.
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: You didn't have that many networks to watch. So I'm
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: betting he was clocking in several million people.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, easy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: And he was in a time where your seasons weren't
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: like eight episodes, 10 episodes long. You're doing like 40
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: eps in those seasons. You got 200 eps of that show.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: It like, how did you, I'm sorry. If you don't
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: think he can act, that's fine.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But if you ignore his impact.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: He still made it to the top of the mountain.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: With a massive contributor.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: For more than 15 years, maybe two decades. Easy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And not counting the movie career.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah. How do you not? You can put it into chat,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: GPT guys. You can say every major television star who
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: passed away in the last 365 years. And it'll spit
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: out a bunch. I'm not saying run with the chat GPT.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: No, you want to double check it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, give it a little filter because odds are some
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: of those cats still going to be alive. We know
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: how this works.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But, dude, that's... Leave out Chuck.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: That's just.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: For some reason or another, in the past couple of weeks,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I've driven past his place outside of Navasota a couple
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of times.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And I just always take my hat off.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: That's right, man. That's right. King of martial arts, cinema, television,
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: and let's not forget bottled water.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That's right, dude. I love.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Do you go out of your way to drink a
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: little C-Force?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: If I see it, I will buy it. And it's expensive,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but I always tell myself, you know what? I can
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: take on anything after I've had my C-Force.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: That's right. It's like Popeye and spinach.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's exactly right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Have they thought about coming out with a sparkling version
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: of C-Force?
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, because that's straight from the artesian
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: well over there on his place.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Isn't Perrier from an artesian well?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Perrier, is it naturally sparkling? I think
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it's naturally sparkling. I don't know. Naturally sparkling? Does natural?
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: There's no way there is a fizzy well somewhere. And
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: if so, if it does exist, I feel confident that
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: drinking from it would result in some health issues. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: think you just run the artesian water through like a,
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Well, the carbonation.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Carbonation. They give it a little zip. Because, I mean,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: flat water is fine.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Natural sparkling water does exist.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Stop it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: It does. Thanks to volcanic heat and gas. High pressure dissolution.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Those things can result in that. Whether it happens all
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the time, I don't know. But it does. There are
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: some brands out there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Good Lord.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Well, problem solved. Howdy, Aggieland.

  Speaker 6: It's time to start making your plans for the fall, y'all.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: We do have a texter who just texted in, by
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: What do you got?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Jay said, OMG. Will, my mom's from Anderson. I take
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: my hat off while eating at an indoor restaurant, church,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and while passing Chuck's Ranch. From Jay.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: Man, I love to see it. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: is respect right there. That is respect. Respect that he
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: was not shown by the Emmys.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, that answers need to be. Answers need to
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: be discoverers to that. That's absolute disrespect. On a brighter note,
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: we do have a lot of reasons to celebrate today,
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: so let's get to them. A few days of significance today, Will.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: It's Greenpeace Day.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: It's what day?
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Greenpeace.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: You remember Greenpeace? Do they still exist?
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: No, I'm sure they do.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Do they? I don't know. They got sued out of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: existence at one point in time. I think they still exist,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: but I think they got hammered pretty good.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: September 15th, 1971, a group of activists got on an
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: old fishing boat and sailed toward an island in Alaska.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: Because they were trying to protest the U.S. 's underground
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: nuclear testing. And that became kind of the gimmick. They
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: get on a really big boat, and they just get
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: out to sea and try to harass people. That was
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: the thing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Greenpeace.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: And, yeah, actually, interestingly enough, the reason they're called Greenpeace,
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: the boat, the original boat that they just drove out
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: over a nuclear testing site, Green Space Peace. But it
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: wouldn't fit together on a T-shirt, so they got rid
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: of the space. Greenpeace.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Not kidding. Yeah, they do still exist. They've faced some
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: intense pressure from lawsuits.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: That's because you can't just drive a boat into people.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got a little militant for a minute there.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Get Ready Day, this one's for you. Not that you
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: need to, just that this is Will. The Public Health
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Association holds it on the third Tuesday of September, which
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: happens to be today. Created as part of National Preparedness Month.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: To encourage people to prepare for emergencies, disasters, and public
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: health threats. Emergency kits, evacuation plans, medications. All the stuff
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: you guys are keeping in your truck.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Right, your go bag. Bingo.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: They encourage community schools and workplaces to hold preparedness events today,
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: and I think it's a wonderful thing.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what's really crazy, speaking of preparedness, as
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: we are in the midst of hurricane season.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Which is, we haven't had a hurricane over water in
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the Gulf. It's crazy.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: It's been years.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm talking about ever since it's been renamed the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Gulf of America, we've had no hurricanes.
• 14:40
  Speaker 16: Snap.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: I did not think about that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: But that is actually correct.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Coincidence?
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Double cheeseburger day today.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, I can celebrate.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Believe it or not, it took them a long time
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: to figure out that you can just throw another one
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: right on top of there. The original hamburger. There's still
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: debate about this. Texas can kind of claim it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a town up toward Texarkana.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's one somewhere. And then there's the Atlanta.
• 15:06
  Speaker 16: Yale.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Yale also has a claim to it. That was in
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: like the mid to late 1800s. It wasn't until the
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: 30s when Bob's big boy said, you know, it might
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: be nice. Let's just put two of them on there.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: See what happens.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Mind blown. Yeah.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Why would you? That's IT profession.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: If one is good and two is better.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: If you have an IT guy, thank them because it
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: is a thankless job. Just walk back to their cave.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: They probably haven't seen light in a while.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: If they're unconscious, unplug them and plug them back in.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: And finally, it is felt hat day. The reason it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: felt hat day is in the late 19th and early
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: 20th centuries, men's fashion had an unwritten rule. Some might
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: say it still has an unwritten rule.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: Straw hats are for summer. And around September 15th is
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: when you put the straw away and put the felt on.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Some parts of the country. This would be very funny
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: because like, oh, how cute. Who still has straw hats?
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: Texas still has Texas and Texas still has felt hats.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: And this continues to actually be an argument. To this
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: very day.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It goes back in history, Tucker. Are you familiar with
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the straw hat riot? I am, Will. Tell them about
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the straw hat riot. Of 1922, New York City. There
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was a strict unwritten rule. Men not supposed to wear
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: straw hats past September 15th. That's right.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: And remember we said a rule.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: A rule.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: On September 13th, 1922, a group of young workers and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: gangs decided to jump the gun and start aggressively knocking
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: straw hats off of pedestrians' heads and stomping on them.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Hence the straw hat riot.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It escalated into a massive multi-day citywide riot with mobs
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of hundreds of teenagers wielding sticks and they roamed the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: streets attacking anyone still wearing a summer hat.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: It's the best.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I do not suggest that here in the state of Texas.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: I've gotten about that level, about that level of feedback
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: if I wear a felt hat too early or a
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: straw hat too late.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: If you run up on somebody in Texas and you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: start trying to knock hats off or you're wielding a stick,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you're going to be under arms.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Yes, you are absolutely, absolutely not ready for that fight. No.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: But yeah, that's what we got today, Will. What's in birthday?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Birthdays, John Bradley is 38. He's Samuel Tarly on the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. Yes, he is. I almost feel sorry
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: for Prince Harry. He's celebrating a birthday today.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: I do. Well, no, I absolutely feel sorry for Prince Harry.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Prince Harry lost his mom at an amazingly young age.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Has been famous for nothing since he was born because
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: he's a member of the royal family. I'll be perfectly real.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: Those people are insane.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Some less than others.
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: Some.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: Some very less than others. But his uncle's a scumbag.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: His great-grandfather, great-granduncle was a notorious scumbag. He's got a
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: lot of really nasty people in his lineage. And I
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: can see... That having an effect on you.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: And then, you know, the rest, the rest.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Though, look. Yeah, I think William is kind of a
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: miracle that he, you know, came through all of that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: That's insane.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: It seems like he's fairly normal.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: He might be an absolute sociopath. I don't know. But
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: he does seem to be a decent, a decent, normal-ish royal.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: But good Lord. I wouldn't want to be raised in that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: No.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Absolutely not.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I know that there are some financial benefits, but however.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: There are.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there are.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Tom Hardy is 49 today. Eddie Brock in Venom. He
• 18:49

• 19:02
  Speaker 6: seen him and would know him by appearance.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: He's the small British guy in a three-piece suit that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is incredibly quick and sarcastic.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, very funny guy.

  Speaker 1: to her.

  Speaker 6: I love that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of rooting for her on that. Oliver Stone

  Speaker 1: everything he's done. Also celebrating his 80th today, and I
• 19:36

• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.

  Speaker 6: I love Tommy.

  Speaker 8: Lee.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you were in Lonesome Dove, that's the first.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And since then, I mean, he's on the Mount Rushmore
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned of Texas.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: And famously, Al Gore's roommate at Harvard. I would have
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: lost my mind to see what those two got up
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: to as random students.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Tommy Lee. Hijinks.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Straight out of Texas.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Al Gore.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Straight out of being Al Gore. They have to share
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: essentially a prison cell in Harvard for years. Wonderful, wonderful tale.

  Speaker 1: And now for the bonus round. Who imposes property taxes?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: State government. Nice try, but no.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Local governments.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Correct. And we have a winner.
• 22:10
  Speaker 19: Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control property taxes.
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: why your property taxes are going up is because local
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: got to do is to stop the spending that leads.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: To property tax increases.
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: You should have a say on whether or not your
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: property taxes go up. It should be a vote that
• 22:38
  Speaker 11: requires two-thirds vote before any property tax increase can ever
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: be imposed on our fellow Texans. You're going to be
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: able to live in your home for the rest of
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: your lives without being priced out of it.

  Speaker 21: Hey, have you been paying attention to what's happening with
• 23:14
  Speaker 21: gold and silver right now? Central banks around the world,
• 23:17
  Speaker 21: they're buying record amounts of gold to diversify their reserves. Now,
• 23:21
  Speaker 21: at the same time, silver demand is skyrocketing. because it
• 23:25
  Speaker 21: is critical for solar power, electronics, AI infrastructure. Now, if
• 23:29
  Speaker 21: you've noticed recent price pullbacks, remember that temporary pullbacks are
• 23:33
  Speaker 21: just normal market corrections in a long-term trend, and major
• 23:37
  Speaker 21: financial institutions are now forecasting strong potential growth for both
• 23:41
  Speaker 21: gold and silver over the next few years. Physical metals
• 23:45
  Speaker 21: don't rely on the stability of any single government or bank,
• 23:48
  Speaker 21: making them a time-tested hedge against inflation and market volatility.
• 23:53
  Speaker 21: That's exactly why I like to be a customer of Goldco. Now,

  Speaker 23: With elevated inflation data and oil at more than $ 100
• 24:44
  Speaker 23: per barrel, we may see interest rates rise later this week.
• 24:47
  Speaker 23: The Federal Reserve is set to announce its interest rate
• 24:50
  Speaker 23: decision tomorrow at 2 p.m.
• 24:52
  Speaker 16: Eastern.
• 24:52
  Speaker 23: Financial markets are betting heavily that Fed policymakers will lift
• 24:56
  Speaker 23: their benchmark rate a quarter of a percentage point. Costco
• 24:59
  Speaker 23: has limited member purchases of motor oil to two units
• 25:03
  Speaker 23: per week and raised the price as energy costs surge
• 25:07
  Speaker 23: amid the Iran war. According to the Associated Press, the
• 25:10
  Speaker 23: price has risen to nearly $ 58 per unit. which is
• 25:13
  Speaker 23: up from the typical range near $ 30. The benchmark 10-year
• 25:17
  Speaker 23: Treasury yield has climbed to its highest level since 2007
• 25:20
  Speaker 23: as a sell-off in U.S. government debt deepened ahead of
• 25:24
  Speaker 23: the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. The 10-year yield jumped
• 25:28
  Speaker 23: more than six basis points to 5.025%. Futures have dropped
• 25:33
  Speaker 23: as the 10-year Treasury yield rises.
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: That's your money now.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: The team's looking good this season. I think so. Man,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I miss playing football.
• 25:46
  Speaker 18: Ever since I turned 40, I just can't find that
• 25:48
  Speaker 18: fire I used to have.
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: Think it could be lower testosterone?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: I was feeling the same way. After 40, the body
• 25:53
  Speaker 10: has less testosterone, and men lose their edge. That's why
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: I take Nugenics Total T2.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: That's the testosterone booster, right?
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: Yes, but Total T2 is their brand new formula that
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: skyrockets nitric oxide levels in as little as three hours.
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: Since I started taking it, I've been lifting like when
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: we played for Coach Carter. My energy is way up,
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: and it even spiced up things between me.

  Speaker 1: County Jail. Brian Mayor Pro Tem James Edge joined our
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: show yesterday morning to discuss his endorsement of James Tallarico.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: He said he's surprised by the amount of blowback, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: that Paxton just isn't the right man for the job.
• 29:12
  Speaker 24: Personally for me, this one, it stems from the fact
• 29:15
  Speaker 24: that I think this is a very unique situation. I feel,
• 29:19
  Speaker 24: you know, I've been frustrated for some time. I feel
• 29:21
  Speaker 24: like we're racing to the bottom of the barrel with
• 29:23
  Speaker 24: the people that we're nominating and many.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Of the people that we're electing.
• 29:25
  Speaker 24: You know, we've got an attorney general who has a
• 29:30
  Speaker 24: long history of corruption, a long history of abuse of office.
• 29:35
  Speaker 24: And the fact that he was nominated by my party
• 29:38
  Speaker 24: to run for United States Senate it's just something I
• 29:40
  Speaker 24: could not reconcile.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: He says politicians, including Paxton, are introducing what he calls
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: performative legislation.
• 29:52
  Speaker 24: The things that we are expressing as the most important
• 29:55
  Speaker 24: issues are not issues at all. They're things like Like
• 30:00
  Speaker 24: this ridiculous assertion that the election was rigged. There's one
• 30:05
  Speaker 24: gentleman that's trying to pass a bill to avoid furries
• 30:08
  Speaker 24: in public schools so kids don't use litter boxes. I mean,
• 30:12
  Speaker 24: it's just silly, performative things. You know, our national debt
• 30:17
  Speaker 24: just reached $ 40 trillion, and we don't have serious people
• 30:20
  Speaker 24: representing us in Washington. And I see Ken Paxton as
• 30:24
  Speaker 24: one of those performative individuals who, I don't expect that
• 30:28
  Speaker 24: he's going to do anything other than feed the base.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: You can hear the full interview with James Edge at WTAW.com.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Diesel prices have hit an all-time high, and that's affecting
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: truckers here in Texas.
• 30:41
  Speaker 16: Here in Texas, diesel's now averaging $ 5.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: 83 a gallon.
• 30:44
  Speaker 16: That's up 83 cents in the last month, up $ 2.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: 50 in the last year.
• 30:50
  Speaker 16: And considering trucks deliver so much, when will that price
• 30:53
  Speaker 16: trickle down and affect you and I, the consumers?
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're seeing it already, and you will continue to
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: see that. That's the thing.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: It's a bit of.
• 31:01
  Speaker 12: A lagging factor.
• 31:03
  Speaker 11: This is the time of.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: The year which Christmas is coming, and those things are
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: being delivered currently. September is always really busy for the
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: trucking industry.
• 31:13
  Speaker 16: That is John Esparza with the Texas Trucking Association. He
• 31:16
  Speaker 16: says because of diesel prices, it may be quite a
• 31:19
  Speaker 16: while before we get a break in grocery or Any
• 31:22
  Speaker 16: other retail prices? Russell Scott, TSN News.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says a Texas facility repurposing planes
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: is creating new jobs. 650 employees. They want to grow
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: to 800 employees.
• 31:37
  Speaker 16: But this is an American innovative story where you can
• 31:39
  Speaker 16: take an older passenger aircraft and turn it into a
• 31:43
  Speaker 16: cargo aircraft.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Secretary Duffy took Fox's The Will Cain Show on a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: tour of the facility at the Perot Field. At Fort
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Worth Alliance Airport, that has already generated over 600 new jobs,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and manufacturers are looking at adding another 200. These are engineers.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: These are designers. These are machinists.
• 32:00
  Speaker 19: These are welders, electricians.
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: So every job in the trades will work at a
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: facility like this.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: It's all part of the White House's pledge to increase
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: American manufacturing and innovation. Waymo's self-driving cars are running over
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: pets in Texas. That's according to police reports in San Antonio.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: And experts say it is part of a mountain of
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: evidence showing the autonomous vehicles are dangerous.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: I just don't think that we can keep giving Waymo
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: the excuse of fringe issues for stuff that every 16-year-old
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: driver is taught.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Attorney Trey Gober says that San Antonio is not alone.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: In Dallas, there are videos of self-driving cars running red lights.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: In Houston, a Waymo was caught on camera making a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: close turn near an elementary school, nearly hitting a car,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: before entering the school's drop-off line. More news ahead at

• 35:28
  Speaker 6: the difference. It's like an AI doom cycle on the
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: news today. We were watching this yesterday.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, every day is like an AI doom cycle
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: on the news. So what's different?
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: This one is particularly interesting because the whole issue seems
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: to be the heads of the major AI companies, Elon Musk.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: By the way, I just need to mention this. We
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: picked the weirdest four people on the planet today. To
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: create our doomsday device. I don't understand.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we picked them or that's just
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: their destiny.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: You know what? You're right. It's like Frodo carrying the
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: ring to Mordor. Just some people. The job chooses you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: They all came out and said, hey, look, we're a
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: little bit worried that this might actually.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I think some of them said more than we're a
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: little bit worried.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: They said we're very worried. They said 10% chance or
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: more that we'd actually end all.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Life on this planet.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: Doesn't sound good. So could we maybe slow it down
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: a little bit? Now, there's a few different things here.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Number one, keep in mind these are all very rich
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: and wealthy dudes who are working for some companies that
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: are publicly traded and they get some money for it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: The question is, okay, you want regulations? Well, who should
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: regulate them? Oh, maybe we'll make rules for ourselves.
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good idea. Let the kindergartners run the classroom.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: But that said, a lot of people are still very
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: alarmed about this. And this morning, falling right into line,
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: there's another article about things you should never tell GPT.
• 37:07
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Would you like to know what is on this list? Again,
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: don't tell these things to the chat GPT. Do you
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: want to explain why this is a bad idea?
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: The bottom line is it's the same privacy concerns that
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: you would have posting personal information on a social network
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: or in your emails or anything that the IT guys
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: that we're celebrating today makes them shaking their boots that
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you put online.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: Yes, because there is someone else on the other side
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: of that thing, even if it's not a human being.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: That data is going somewhere. And as we have, I
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: think we've illustrated this a time or two. When I
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: had it write my obituary, when you were out one
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: day and I had to do a deep dive into Allie,
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: and it basically gave me a full documentary.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Script on Allison. I was worried for a second there
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: that you were going to say when I was out
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: one day and you did a deep dive on me.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: We haven't done that one yet.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Let's avoid that one, shall we?
• 38:03
  Speaker 22: We might.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: You'd be shocked at the things these things know. So
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: there are sort of issues.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're saying things you should stay away from. Don't
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: use your name, address, phone number, social security number, your
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: intimate personal details, which we know... Some people are sharing
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: with their chat GPTs and their AIs and their Gemini's
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: because they have relationships with them.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: You know, the thing that's funny is I feel like
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: it tries to get you that it knows.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, you think it's fishing?
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: I think it absolutely will try to get you to
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: punch every one of these things in. I have not
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: had it asked for my social because frankly, that would
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: be alarming. I have not had it asked for. It
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: definitely knows my name. Got that out of the way.
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: Does it know my address? Does it know my phone number?
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: Not sure. Never asked.
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: It might.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: It might.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: It might.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Knows everything else about us.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: Continue.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: So don't put any confidential work information in there.
• 38:52
  Speaker 26: Right.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: No medical information, financial information. Now, if you've already made
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that mistake and crossed that Rubicon.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: You can still delete your chat history and review your
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: privacy settings. It's true. And going forward, try to use
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: general descriptions whenever possible. That's fluff. If you've done it,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you're done. You're hosed. Yeah, you're done.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: There is a button in there that lets you like, hey,
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: you know, tell me what I should forget.
• 39:17
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:18
  Speaker 27: Right.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a trick. We've seen these kind of
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: tricks before, ChatGPT.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: I want to focus on the fifth one you mentioned,
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: and that was financial information. You should not share any
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: of your bank accounts, investment records, credit card numbers, tax documents,
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: or pay stubs. I need to be clear about this.
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: I use ChatGPT a lot for a lot of different things.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: Some of them goofy and fun. Some of them actually
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: work stuff. Whatever you do a little here and there,
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: it's quite a good tool. It has been Openly asking
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: me to give it access to my bank account.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: No.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: Credit cards, everything so it can organize my finances. It
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: is actually a little prompt. that it spits up at
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: the bottom of my screen every day for the last month.
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: It wants that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Previously, they were saying that it could help you with
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: your online shopping. Sure, we can order what you need
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: without you even thinking about it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Just put in your bank card information.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: I think we talked about they wanted your text. They're like, hey,
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: I can send text messages.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: Why don't you just give me your phone number so
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: I can send text messages for you? Oh, my goodness,
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: wouldn't this be helpful? It wants you to.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Resist, resist, resist.
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: Also, I need to mention, going back to the intimate
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: personal details, the other things that came out, I swear
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: this came from the companies. A lot of people wanted
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: and still want to use these as a way to
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: basically get people affordable therapy. It's like, I can't afford
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: to go to a psychologist.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Or for whatever other reason, some people with mental health issues.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: Like talk therapy, which can be expensive. Why not just
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: let you talk to the AI? That still seems to
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: be something that people... And I don't... All snark and
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: sarcasm aside here, I really don't know with that. It
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: does feel weird because there's not... There's not attorney-client privilege
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: or therapists or doctor or HIPAA issues with chat. Chat
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: now just knows what you're worried about.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: And in thinking about that, right, you want people to
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: have access to mental health care. You really do. And
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: there's a shortage of people that can provide that care.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: And there's a big gap between the people that need it,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of them, and the people that provide it. Absolutely.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: If you have certain mental health conditions, am I going
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: to benefit you by suggesting that you talk to a
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: non-sentient entity, something that doesn't really exist? I mean, come on.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: It is a little... There's no way that can go wrong.
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: We're going to find out.

  Speaker 20: them from the living limbs that still have foliage. Look
• 44:12
  Speaker 20: closely at your lawn. If the grass seems to have
• 44:15
  Speaker 20: stopped growing earlier than usual this year, and especially if
• 44:18
  Speaker 20: it's a lighter shade of green, you want to make
• 44:20
  Speaker 20: sure that grub worms are not involved. Pull on some
• 44:23
  Speaker 20: of the affected areas. If the grass comes up very easily,
• 44:26
  Speaker 20: runners and all, You need to suspect and check for
• 44:30
  Speaker 20: grub worms. If you find more than four per square foot,
• 44:33
  Speaker 20: you need to treat with an appropriate insecticide, followed by
• 44:36
  Speaker 20: a thorough watering to penetrate to the grub zone. I
• 44:39
  Speaker 20: will tell you that grubs are not the problem they
• 44:41
  Speaker 20: used to be. You also need to be looking for
• 44:43
  Speaker 20: brown patch in your St.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Augustine.
• 44:45
  Speaker 20: If that's what's turning it yellow, then that is a
• 44:48
  Speaker 20: different story altogether. If the blades pull loose easily from
• 44:52
  Speaker 20: the runners, in this case the runners remain attached to
• 44:55
  Speaker 20: the soil, Whereas with grub worms, the runners come loose easily.
• 44:59
  Speaker 20: If they remain attached, if the leaves are rotted at
• 45:02
  Speaker 20: their bases where they attach to those runners, that's brown patch.
• 45:05
  Speaker 20: If you get a handful of leaves when you pull
• 45:09
  Speaker 20: on St. Augustine that's yellowed, then that's brown patch. You
• 45:12
  Speaker 20: want to apply an appropriate fungicide. Talk to your independent
• 45:16
  Speaker 20: retail garden center. You want to check roots of your
• 45:19
  Speaker 20: flower and vegetable crops closely for signs of nematode damage
• 45:23
  Speaker 20: as you remove them. They're the microscopic worms that sting
• 45:26
  Speaker 20: the plant's roots and cause abnormal galls to develop. If
• 45:29
  Speaker 20: you find them, plant Elbon Rye by mid-October. It entraps
• 45:34
  Speaker 20: the nematodes within its root systems. By the time you
• 45:36
  Speaker 20: plow it under in January or February, the nematodes, for
• 45:39
  Speaker 20: the most part, are entrapped and dead. If you're a
• 45:43
  Speaker 20: perennial gardener, you need to take time to clean your
• 45:45
  Speaker 20: beds now. Prune off all the dead and dying stems
• 45:48
  Speaker 20: and remove spent flower and seed heads. Dig and divide
• 45:52
  Speaker 20: crowded plants. Set them into freshly prepared garden soil. Keep
• 45:57
  Speaker 20: mowing your turf right up to frost. There's no truth
• 45:59
  Speaker 20: to the theory that long grass is better protected from
• 46:02
  Speaker 20: the ravages of wintertime. In fact, if you keep your
• 46:05
  Speaker 20: grass too tall, it really weakens. Mow at the recommended
• 46:09
  Speaker 20: height all through the season. You want to plant lots
• 46:12
  Speaker 20: of color. Nurseries feature cool season annuals every fall. They're
• 46:16
  Speaker 20: beginning to arrive. You want to wait until it turns
• 46:18
  Speaker 20: just a little bit cooler to plant pansies. Pansies rank
• 46:21
  Speaker 20: at the very top of all of our annual plant
• 46:23
  Speaker 20: popularity charts, but there are others to consider as well.
• 46:27
  Speaker 20: Pinks and snapdragons, also ornamental poppies, English daisies, flowering cabbage
• 46:32
  Speaker 20: and kale, all great candidates. I'm Neal Sperry. We're going
• 46:36
  Speaker 20: to talk about super results with fall plantings in our
• 46:39
  Speaker 20: next Plant Talk Texas. Until then, happy gardening.

• 47:57
  Speaker 29: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 48:01
  Speaker 29: on 1620-945-WTAW. The 10th ranked Aggie football team found out
• 48:06
  Speaker 29: yesterday afternoon from the SEC that A & M' s game
• 48:09
  Speaker 29: at LSU next week will be a night game with
• 48:12
  Speaker 29: kickoff set for 630. This will be the second straight
• 48:16
  Speaker 29: meeting between the Aggies and the Tigers in Baton Rouge,
• 48:19
  Speaker 29: as well as the second straight primetime matchup. This week,
• 48:22
  Speaker 29: the Maroon and White officially begins SEC play, hosting Kentucky
• 48:25
  Speaker 29: this Saturday while LSU hits the road to Oxford to
• 48:28
  Speaker 29: open up conference play against Ole Miss. Ahead of the
• 48:32
  Speaker 29: Aggies matchup with Kentucky, head coach Mike Elko spoke about
• 48:35
  Speaker 29: the feeling of starting SEC play.
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: Since I got here in 2018, it's always kind of
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: felt that way. You know, it was, you know, you
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: play these games and they're meaningful games, obviously, because every
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: game has meaning and every game has a stage and importance,
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: but The second you throw up an SEC logo on
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: that Monday meeting of, okay, hey, it's SEC week, like
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: you just kind of see everything perk up a little bit.
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: And I just think that's probably the nature of playing
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: in this conference. And so, yeah, I don't know that
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: we don't talk about it like that. I certainly don't
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: tell them like, okay, hey, it's an SEC game, so
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: now we've got to try. But like you certainly see
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: the energy in the room change the second that SEC
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: logo goes up on the screen in the morning for
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: your Monday morning meeting.
• 49:18
  Speaker 29: This will be the Aggies and Wildcats. fourth all-time meeting
• 49:21
  Speaker 29: between the programs with the Aggies leading the series 2-1.
• 49:24
  Speaker 29: In SEC home openers, the Aggies are 8-5 with the
• 49:28
  Speaker 29: program having won three straight SEC home openers. Coach Elko
• 49:32
  Speaker 29: also talked about how the Aggies flipped their whole defensive
• 49:35
  Speaker 29: game plan at halftime during the Arizona State game and
• 49:38
  Speaker 29: how the team was able to respond so well to
• 49:41
  Speaker 29: the change.
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: I mean, they have to be preventable. We have to
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: find creative ways to solve that solution. I think that's
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: what we did at halftime. I think the structure and
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: the system is made to be flexible and adaptable, so
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: that's why we were able to handle it. Again, it's always,
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: we talk about this a lot in our building, but like,
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: The first couple weeks, the reason why you see such
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: fluctuation in games and scores and performances a lot of
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: times is because, you see this in the NFL too,
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: like three months is a long time to study somebody, right?
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: And you give somebody three months and you can find things.
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: We certainly found things in them. They found things in us.
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: And then from there, your job is to adapt and adjust.
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: And so I think that's what football is. And so,
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: you know, you... get into a situation in the game
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: and they find some creative ways to go after your
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: structure and your personnel. And now moving forward, you've got
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: to find creative ways to adapt and adjust and make
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: sure that that doesn't become a problem. And I think
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: one of the things we've always been good at is
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: finding those solutions in game and particularly at halftime.
• 50:46
  Speaker 29: Saturday afternoon's kickoff time is set for 2.30 and you
• 50:49
  Speaker 29: can listen to the game on the Zone 1150 AM
• 50:51
  Speaker 29: and 93.7 FM and watch the game on ESPN. The
• 50:57
  Speaker 29: Aggie volleyball team is gearing up to host Stephen F.
• 50:59
  Speaker 29: Austin tonight at Reed Arena. And head coach Jamie Morrison
• 51:03
  Speaker 29: shared thoughts on the team's growth and readiness ahead of
• 51:05
  Speaker 29: tonight's game.
• 51:07
  Speaker 30: Excited about the progress my team is making. And I
• 51:10
  Speaker 30: think one of the things we talked about this week
• 51:11
  Speaker 30: was just the way that expectations have changed. And internally,
• 51:15
  Speaker 30: not external pressure, but just we went through last week
• 51:18
  Speaker 30: and we took care of business in Orlando against Stanford
• 51:21
  Speaker 30: and then turned around and had a home match in
• 51:22
  Speaker 30: front of 9,300 people. and we lost a hard-fought battle
• 51:26
  Speaker 30: against Wisconsin, and we were disappointed. I think if you
• 51:29
  Speaker 30: rewind in this program and talk about that, I don't know, statement,
• 51:33
  Speaker 30: you'd think you were crazy of we're out there and
• 51:35
  Speaker 30: we're competing against the best teams in the country. So, again,
• 51:39
  Speaker 30: we're in a different spot with our program, but I
• 51:40
  Speaker 30: told our team they were disappointed that we didn't beat
• 51:43
  Speaker 30: both of those teams, and that's just proof that we're good,
• 51:46
  Speaker 30: and that's proof that we believe that we're good. And
• 51:49
  Speaker 30: I think the thing that is scary is this group
• 51:51
  Speaker 30: has a lot of room to improve, and we're continuing
• 51:54
  Speaker 30: to do that every single day. And we talked about
• 51:56
  Speaker 30: pushing in the race that it's going to be to
• 51:57
  Speaker 30: the end of the season. But volleyball right now is
• 51:59
  Speaker 30: a really crazy space right now where you kind of
• 52:02
  Speaker 30: have two teams that are kind of undefeated, and then
• 52:04
  Speaker 30: you have a bunch of teams that are beating up
• 52:05
  Speaker 30: on each other. And it's anyone's game right now.
• 52:08
  Speaker 29: First serve for tonight's game is set for 6 o'clock.
• 52:11
  Speaker 29: The Aggie men's golf team opened up their 100th season
• 52:14
  Speaker 29: yesterday morning at one of the most prestigious events in
• 52:17
  Speaker 29: collegiate golf, the Jackson T. Stevens Cup in Frisco, Texas.
• 52:21
  Speaker 29: The maroon and white have concluded the first two rounds
• 52:24
  Speaker 29: of the season with a four under par through the
• 52:26
  Speaker 29: first 36 holes and sits in second place after day
• 52:30
  Speaker 29: one of the tournament. That's your morning sports update on 1620-945-WTAW.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: I'm Riley Flurkey.
• 52:38
  Speaker 18: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 52:40
  Speaker 27: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 52:42
  Speaker 27: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: What a naive concept.
• 52:46
  Speaker 27: Do adults sometimes fall into a similar trap? Recently, I've
• 52:48
  Speaker 27: had customers tell me they have received a competitor's bid,
• 52:51
  Speaker 27: which was five to ten times as expensive as Intercon's
• 52:54
  Speaker 27: quote for new windows. Are they really getting the right
• 52:56
  Speaker 27: value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification provides a set of
• 52:59
  Speaker 27: uniform metrics to quickly compare the thermal efficiency of windows.
• 53:03
  Speaker 27: Windows have three basic components, frame material, insulated glass, and
• 53:07
  Speaker 27: balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component and are costs
• 53:10
  Speaker 27: associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the experience of the
• 53:12
  Speaker 27: installers can make a huge difference in the final product.
• 53:15
  Speaker 27: Do they install windows for a living or are they
• 53:17
  Speaker 27: subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY STAR certified windows
• 53:21
  Speaker 27: with industry-leading warranties installed by our own full-time employees. Why
• 53:25
  Speaker 27: pay more if you can get everything you need at
• 53:26
  Speaker 27: a fair price from a locally owned business?
• 53:28
  Speaker 18: Whether you have new construction or an existing home, let
• 53:31
