  Speaker 1: has died.

  Speaker 2: nine conference championships. He had been battling cancer. John Little,

  Speaker 1: Franchione was 75. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is demanding a full
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: investigation into Texas public school police following reports of widespread
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: student abuse.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Representative Crockett's call for action comes after a report surfaced
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: of more than 2,600 incidents of excessive force by police
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: against students from 2022 through 2025. Crockett sent a letter
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: to Governor Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and TEA Commissioner
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Mike Morath. accusing state leadership of creating an environment of
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: excessive force against children. According to Crockett, thousands of students,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: including children as young as six years old, have reportedly
• 1:40

  Speaker 1: Texas drivers are getting a little relief at the pump
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: this week. Gas buddies Patrick DeHaan says lower fuel taxes
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and releases from strategic reserves are helping. But he warns
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the drop may not last if tensions with Iran continue.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Certainly, you know, this drawing to a conclusion would be helpful,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: but to potentially risk further escalations between the U.S. and Iran,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: then without any strategic reserves of significant status globally, that
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: certainly could be a very bad sign of potentially even
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: more record prices later this year for gasoline and diesel.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: The average price for regular gas in Texas is now $ 3. 90
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a gallon. Diesel is $ 5. 74. There was a fire at
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the State Fair of Texas early Tuesday caused by an

  Speaker 1: electrical short. Dallas Fire Rescue crews were called to the

  Speaker 1: fairgrounds just after 7 a.m. and found flames coming from
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a Balloon Pop gaming stand.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: It seems to have been isolated to a couple booths
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: right here near the greenhouse, so it It will not
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: impact fair operations today.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Thankfully, nobody was hurt during this.

  Speaker 1: By the way, still already getting comments on your Facebook post.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: On the WTAW Facebook page, Tucker has posted the actual
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: copy of the license there, which is, again, he couldn't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: read because it's cursive.
• 5:27
  Speaker 11: The scan is a little iffy, too.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, but I mean, to be real, there's not
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: that many people that really can knock out reading cursive anymore.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and it's a shame for all the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: folks with cursive neck tattoos.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: You would think that would cross people's... Yeah, but yeah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: go check it out. It's very, very cool and something
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: to see, for sure. Six pages of of a lot
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: of historic detail about what went into a radio station
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: back then, because it was, again, brand new. All of
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: the radio stations that are out there today, like the
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: 100 oldest, they all happened within about six months of
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: each other in 1922.
• 6:13
  Speaker 12: All of them.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: It's just a big swath of cable that's going to
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: light up everywhere. And then you have a break, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: more start kind of popping up after that. But yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: it was a big deal back then.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Pretty cool stuff, yeah. You don't have to read all
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: six pages. You won't be quizzed on it later.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: No, no. But should you be inclined, you know where
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: to find it. Are you familiar with.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You need to give us our weather. Oh, Lord, I do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: There's not much to say.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's not, but we ought to talk about it because
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we talk about it when it's bad.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: You're right. It should get adequate treatment when it's going
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: to be a really gorgeous day. It shouldn't just be
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: something we complain about when it's 110. And it is
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: going to be a really... Gorgeous day today. Highs around 90.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: Lows down into the 60s, mid to upper 60s. That's
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: so nice. It really is. If you have an excuse
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: to do something outside over the next couple of days,
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: do it. Weather is brought to you by Malik's Service Company.

• 7:21
  Speaker 6: the Botox obsession?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, am I familiar with it?
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: You sound like you're intimately acquainted.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, despite my begging, pleading, gnashing of teeth, claiming that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: she doesn't need it. But, you know, all of her
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: friends have it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: I think, yeah. Man, that's a dicey road to walk.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Botox is a nice little word for botulism toxin.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: It's a difficult road to walk because I think everyone... Yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: it's like.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Then what do you do? She's excited about it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It makes her feel better.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: And then do I get excited about it because she's
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: excited about it? Or is that going to turn into...
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: So you think I need Botox?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: No, the only difference is... At least in my case,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it makes her feel a little bit more confident, which
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: makes her happier, which makes my life better. It's kind
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of the way it is.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: I think it's incredible. Now, that said, the Botox Obsession
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Index basically is a metric that exists to find the
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: places where Botox is the most in demand. In the
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: United States.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Now, these are all based on per capita Google searches.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: So the more people that are looking for Botox, the
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: higher your index score is. Any guesses? Any out there
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: for the top state for Botox?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a state that is known for vanity.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: It doesn't rhyme with California, by the way. Which is
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: shocking to me.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You would think, and California is very high on the list. Yes,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it is. But it is not number one. No, it is.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But I'm not shocked that number one is New York.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, New York, right up there. Colorado was number two.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: With all that dry climate, I figured, you know.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: No, I have a lot of friends in Colorado, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: a lot of them, male and female, enjoy some good Botox.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: See, I find that staggering.
• 9:32
  Speaker 14: It is.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: It doesn't make any sense, but again, Colorado is an
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: interesting mix of really rich people that came from other states.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Kind of like Austin. You get an Austin vibe.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I get that.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: A lot of parts of that state.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I get that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: Cali, number three. Florida, number four, which again, that checks.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: We didn't make the top ten.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: We did not.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: And I was actually really surprised.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Very surprised about that, because when you look at places
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: like Houston, you look at places like Dallas, both well-known
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: for various cosmetic procedures. Yeah.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: It's a routine thing. It's like going to get a
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: pedicure for a lot of people. It's just, okay, I'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: going to go get the Botox. I'm going to go
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: get some fillers or whatever it is. Now, what really
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: blows my mind is because I'll run into college students, so...
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: you know, 20s, early 20s, they love it more than anyone.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: No.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: You haven't experienced it? No, no, please don't.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: Have your daughters ever asked for both?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: I think you're in the minority.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: 979-695-1620. I would be mortified.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: I have a friend who's got daughters about your age,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: and he had to.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: To me, this is insane, but I'm going to tell
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: the story anyway. they came to him and they said, Botox,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: I need it. And he's like, what are you talking about?
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: You're 22. Well, yeah, but you know, you just have to,
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: you know, smooth some things out. Like you're 22. And
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: so he had to make a decision of whether or
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: not to, uh, you know, cause again, they're in college,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: not completely on their own. If they were all the
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: way out, he'd be able to just be like, pay
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: for it yourself. And it was like, yeah, sure. If, if,
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: you know, you want some, you want some spa services
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: for your birthday or Christmas. Do I purchase these for you?
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: And he decided to, because indeed her friends, all of
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: her friends were in fact getting Botox.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: That's, that's the problem there. It is, it is the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: peer pressure. It is trickled down. And, uh, and it,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that saddens me. It really does.
• 11:40
  Speaker 15: It is.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: It's, it's, it's sad because I remember being, again, I'm not, yeah,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: I remember being 20, and.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, man, I'm getting old or whatever.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: You have no idea what getting old is.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: No, no concept.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: Oh, you saw a line by your eye. Did you
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: get a bag under your eye because you were up
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: all night studying? Oh, pobrecito. It gets so much worse.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: But no, for real, some of you guys... We're all
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: drowning in college students around here. Some of you guys
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: know some 20-year-olds that have gotten Botox. Some of you
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: guys know some 20-year-olds that regularly get fillers and things
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: like that. I... As strange as it sounds, I'm not wrong,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: am I?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. And I may have an
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: explanation as to why Texas and other states that you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: think should be higher on the list are not higher
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: on the list. And it goes back to the methodology, right?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: This is based on Google searches. I can tell you
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that in my wife's circle of friends, there wasn't a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Google search involved. It was all word of mouth.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they knew where to come.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, hon, you got to go see so-and-so.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, get the hookup.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's the best. Now, I do know, now that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I think about it, I do know college-aged girls... that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: are learning how to do the Botox injections and the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: eyelashes and stuff, and they have their own cottage industry.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute. Like it's a side hustle?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: I'm just going to go and Botox my friends?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: And they get some certifications and so forth, so they
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: can deliver those lip injections or Botox or things like that. Sweetie, no.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: You don't go to a friend for that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: No, you go to Mexico.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there are options.
• 13:19
  Speaker 14: We've all heard the promise, I'll eliminate property tax. It
• 13:22
  Speaker 14: sounds great until you ask how. The truth, if the
• 13:25
  Speaker 14: state doesn't pay its fair share for our schools, that
• 13:27
  Speaker 14: money has to come from somewhere. Often, that means a
• 13:30
  Speaker 14: massive hike in sales tax, hitting every single thing you
• 13:33
  Speaker 14: buy for your kids. I'm Janet Dudding, and I won't
• 13:36
  Speaker 14: give you a slogan.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I'll give you the truth.
• 13:37
  Speaker 14: We need a state government that stops shifting the burden
• 13:40
  Speaker 14: onto local homeowners. Let's get real relief, not empty promises.

• 14:22
  Speaker 17: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 14:23
  Speaker 17: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 14:26
  Speaker 17: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 14:28
  Speaker 17: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 14:31
  Speaker 17: received a competitor's bid, which was five to 10 times
• 14:34
  Speaker 17: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 14:36
  Speaker 17: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 14:40
  Speaker 17: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 14:43
  Speaker 17: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 14:47
  Speaker 17: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component?
• 14:51
  Speaker 17: and are costs associated with a warranty claim. Finally, the
• 14:53
  Speaker 17: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 14:55
  Speaker 17: the final product. They install windows for a living or
• 14:58
  Speaker 17: they subcontract it for the day. Intercon sells Energy Star
• 15:02
  Speaker 17: certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own full-time employees.
• 15:06
  Speaker 17: Why pay more if you can get everything you need
• 15:08
  Speaker 17: at a fair price from a locally owned business?
• 15:10

  Speaker 8: Right.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: You're still you're not you hit a wall where it
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: all starts to head in the opposite direction. At that point,
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: you know, whatever you feel like, man.
• 17:23
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: But I mean, we're all seeing we're all seeing like
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: if you look back in time and you look back
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: at the Golden Girls are a great example.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: If you look at what the Golden Girls looked like
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: off screen.
• 17:35
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And you look at what their ages were.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: Yo, they were like 40.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: And Wilford Brimley.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Wilford Brimley was in his 30s in Cocoon, wasn't he?
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: 40s or something, yeah. Yeah, the Golden Girls weren't golden.
• 17:50
  Speaker 14: No.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: The Golden Girls were.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: People look different now.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: They do.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And I know why. You know, between surgeries and hormones
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and everything else.
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a million reasons we don't, that 40... in
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: 2026 doesn't look like 40 in 1985. No. A million reasons.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And a far cry- Thank God for that, too. A
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: far cry from 40 in 1950, you know?
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: If you even made it to 40.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: 40 in the old west.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: You didn't die on the Oregon Trail from dysentery.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if you were in the old west, I'd understand
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: a 20-year-old needing Botox. Them's were hard years. Very hard years.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: And I tell you, your hands just got all chapped
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: when you're out there chopping cotton.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: It's all, yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Rounding up the herd.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: You're out there riding trail.
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: You might, you might develop some fine lines.
• 18:37
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: It's just a couple of wrinkles.
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 20: Sunspots.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: What can you do? Speaking of old times, Halloween costumes.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: We talked a little bit about this, about pop culture
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Halloween costumes. Everyone wants to know what the big one's
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: going to be this year. Turns out it's going to
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: be Freaky Nicky from Obsession.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I still have not seen Freaky Nicky. I'm never going
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to dress up as Freaky Nicky.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: I don't see you being Freaky Nicky, but some of
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: the college kids are going to be all about that.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: But if you look going back in history, it's fascinating.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Someone actually did... coordinate a list of the most popular
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: costumes for every year since like 1953 thusly if you
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: ask we can tell you what allegedly was the most
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: popular halloween costume the year you.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Were born So I went through this list.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Allegedly.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And on this list, there are omissions. For example, the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: first thing I did was, oh, I wonder what it
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: was in my year.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: 1970 was left off the list.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Ah, you got to do some digging, Will.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I did some digging.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And I did find it. Do you want to know
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: what it was in 1970? Yeah, what was it in 1970?
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: The King. Elvis Presley, 1970. It took until.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: 1970 for him to be the top commentator. That's right,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: because then he was a caricature.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Well, no, not in 70. Pretty close. Yeah, he was
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: on the road to his final form, the most glorious
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: of Elvis. Vegas fat Elvis. 1981 for me. Indiana Jones.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I can see you sporting the fedora via the Indiana Jones.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: My cousin did dress up as Indiana Jones one year.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: It wasn't 81, but he obviously had several different movies.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: The one that I got a side eye is 1989 Ghostbusters.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: I don't think that was the top costume in 1989.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: What do you think the top costume?
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: It was Batman.
• 20:28
  Speaker 20: Really?
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Because that was the Tim Burton Batman year.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I could see it being neck and neck.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: And Ghostbusters was obviously a big deal.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: That and you could dress up with your friends.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: That's true.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And carry your little sister or brother around as a goblin.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: As Slimer. Let's never discount a good group costume. Harry
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: Potter ended up at the top spot in 2001. And
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: that was another one of those. You could bring the
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: whole family. And they could all be versions of some
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: wizard or witch or whatever.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: My most traumatic Halloween costume ever was in sixth grade,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and it was because I wore it to school.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: What did you wear?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Well, it was very similar to the Harry Potter. Yeah.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I was Merlin. Yeah.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: You went as Merlin in sixth grade?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Something like that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: You could have at least said it was Lord of
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: the Rings, man.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: That was just a book back then. You had to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: read it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: Hadn't quite gotten the hype yet.
• 21:30
  Speaker 20: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 21:35
  Speaker 20: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 21:38
  Speaker 20: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 21:41
  Speaker 20: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 21:45
  Speaker 20: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 21:49
  Speaker 20: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 21:52
  Speaker 20: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.
• 21:56
  Speaker 20: Political ad paid for by Paul Dyson for Texas.
• 22:00

  Speaker 6: the most popular costume was Zorro.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I loved me some Zorro.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: If you go through this list, it's interesting. Disney costumes
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: have always been big deals. Because Zorro, Davy Crockett, which
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: is another one.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, huge.
• 23:19
  Speaker 21: Massive.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Like all the Disney characters that you, you know, from
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: that era.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It's like they think about integrated marketing.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: It's like Walt figured out that if I make a movie,
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I can sell merch. Amazing.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: Holy cow. Chase. Hulk Hogan.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, the year he was born.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, Hulk Hogan for you? If Hulk Hogan was the... Jeez. Chase,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: it could be... Hogan was big in so many different iterations.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had different eras.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: I'm going to say you were born in 19... I'm
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: going to say going over Andre the Giant, which... Is
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: that 84?
• 23:59
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: 84, 83?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: So born about.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So you've been in 1984, 1983 is what I'm
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: going to guess, Chase.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: That's my.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: That's the year of birth or... That's when he wore
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the costume.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: If that was the biggest costume of that particular year,
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: I'm going to say 84, 83. But if it was
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: the biggest costume, Chase says 85. That was pretty close.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty close.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: He also could have been born potentially in the 90s
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: back when WCW happened because Hulk Hogan turned into a
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: big old deal then again. And some might say that
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Hulkamania is still running wild to this very day. You
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: know it, brother! Brother! Uh, nine, seven, nine, six, nine, five, 1620.

• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Can you tell me how to do, I might do
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: a Merlin in 2026.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I've got a good one that we'll bring up later.

  Speaker 6: But first.
• 25:24
  Speaker 19: Every October, the same thing happens. People start getting sick.
• 25:29
  Speaker 19: And suddenly, everybody needs medication at the same time. Don't

• 26:04
  Speaker 19: On this Wednesday, I'm thinking about the midterm vote. I
• 26:11
  Speaker 19: predict there's going to be a fairly low turnout across
• 26:13
  Speaker 19: the country. I believe that because many Americans, perhaps most,
• 26:18
  Speaker 19: are fed up with both parties, they will stay home.
• 26:24
  Speaker 19: The folks are not getting what they want from either
• 26:27
  Speaker 19: Republicans or Democrats. I cannot back that up with hard data,
• 26:33
  Speaker 19: but that's my assessment of the situation. The GOP, grand
• 26:38
  Speaker 19: old party, is now fighting for its life in many
• 26:42
  Speaker 19: red states, including Nebraska. The reason is high prices and
• 26:47
  Speaker 19: instability surrounding the Iranian situation. A new poll from McLaughlin
• 26:53
  Speaker 19: and Associates finds 61% of Americans say the U.S. economy
• 27:00
  Speaker 19: is actually getting worse. Just 32% think the economy is improving.
• 27:09
  Speaker 19: That is a colossally bad number for the incumbent president,
• 27:13
  Speaker 19: Donald Trump. So summing up, I do not believe it's
• 27:17
  Speaker 19: going to be a high turnout. I think both parties
• 27:20
  Speaker 19: have big deficits. They have to slug it out. If
• 27:24
  Speaker 19: the Iran situation is settled, the numbers will change very fast,
• 27:31
  Speaker 19: giving the GOP some momentum.
• 27:34

  Speaker 12: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: justice that is fair, understandable and within reach. Chief Justice
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: as written. So the rules don't change depending on who
• 28:29
  Speaker 12: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Court system that works for the people it serves.
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: Blacklock has called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: court procedures and making legal services more affordable. because a
• 28:44
  Speaker 12: case should be decided on the facts and the law,
• 28:47
  Speaker 12: not on who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: belong to the people. That means judges should be accountable,
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: rules should be clear, and the system should be accessible
• 28:56
  Speaker 12: to those who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: means more than a principle. It means a court system
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: Texans can understand, trust, and afford to use. Chief Justice
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: Jimmy Blacklock.

  Speaker 1: M is mourning the loss of former head football coach
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Dennis Coach Fran Francione, who passed away Tuesday at age 75.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Francione began his career as an assistant at Kansas State
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: in 1978. He served as the Texas A & M
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: head football coach from 2003 to 2007. He guided the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Aggies to three bowl games. He also served as head
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: coach for Alabama and TCU and led the Horned Frogs
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: to three straight bowl games and a 10-1 season in
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: 2000 with LaDainian Tomlinson. In his second time at the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: helm in San Marcos, he helped bring Texas State into
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the FBS. Franchione was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: again in 2021, but had been in remission. According to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the cancer returned earlier this year
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and he was in hospice care. Francione's record was 213-135-2,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: including nine conference championships. 69-year-old Angela Serra, the owner and
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: operator of the Dogtown Ranch in Rockdale, is facing new
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: charges of animal cruelty. After a grand jury declined to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: indict her in September, today the Milam County Sheriff's Office
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: served an arrest warrant on Serra for a single charge.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of cruelty to non-livestock animals, a Class A misdemeanor. Last week,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the Brandywine Valley SPCA took in 82 animals from the facility.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: The current charge stems from one of the animals surrendered,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a pit bull-terrier mix. A vet said the dog had
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a number of issues, including worms, dehydration, fleas, ticks, and malnutrition.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: They also noted substantial and long-standing unmet medical and nutritional needs.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Milam County Sheriff Mike Clore said we are grateful for
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the generous assistance of Brandywine Valley SPCA. Their expertise and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: willingness to take in these animals made all the difference.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: An execution date of December 3rd has been set for
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Nadal Hassan in the 2009 shooting deaths of 13 people
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: at Fort Hood. More than 30 others were wounded. President
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Trump signed off on having Hassan put to death by
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: firing squad. Professor Jeffrey Korn is director of the Center
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: for Military Law and Policy at Texas Tech. He says
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the military regulation authorizes death by lethal injection or any
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: other lawful means.
• 32:09
  Speaker 13: And with all of the nightmare of this case in
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: Tennessee where the lethal injection failed to produce the result,
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: there may be some logic in an execution method that
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: has no risk of failure.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Corn says he went to Hassan's court-martial and the former
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Army major showed no remorse. He said in some ways
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Hassan is the military equivalent of Timothy McVeigh. The U.S.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: military has not executed a service member since 1961. Governor

  Speaker 1: over 600 arrests for possession of child pornography. The Human

  Speaker 1: Trafficking Unit has made nearly 400 human trafficking arrests. President

  Speaker 1: a week.

• 33:33
  Speaker 23: Greg Abbott says that Trump is committed to rallying the
• 33:36
  Speaker 23: troops in Texas.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: He does a good job of getting the base organized

  Speaker 1: and turning out.
• 33:40
  Speaker 23: The presidential visit also seen as a boost to fundraising.
• 33:43
  Speaker 23: The latest campaign finance report shows that the governor is
• 33:45
  Speaker 23: burning through cash in his bid for re-election. Around $ 70
• 33:48
  Speaker 23: million was spent in the last quarter. That's five times

  Speaker 3: Representative Crockett sent a letter to Governor Abbott, Attorney General

  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton, and TEA Commissioner Mike Morath, accusing them of
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: creating a disturbing normalization of excessive force against children in

  Speaker 3: circumstances that aren't a threat to school safety.
• 34:23

• 34:24

  Speaker 6: say cool. Cool is a little bit deceptive.
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: Cooler.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: This ain't sweater weather. Not yet.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was close this morning.

• 36:54
  Speaker 6: if you had some that were memorable from when you
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: were young, like did you have one that stood out?
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: we did have some text messages. Now, Connie didn't share
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: one of hers, but she did say that she ran
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: a daycare in her home for 40 years, which is impressive,
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: to say the least. But it says she remembers stretches
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: where all the kids were wearing Power Rangers costumes. I
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: believe that would be like 1995, would be my guess
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: on that one. And then Woody from Toy Story. That
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: was a big one, too. Woody from Toy Story is
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: still a big one today, Connie. I remember, if I
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: had to think about most memorable costumes, they're all kind of, like,
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: I was in one of those families where you had
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: to dress as Bible characters.
• 37:40
  Speaker 16: Ah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: Do any of you guys, were any of y'all in
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: that boat in the 80s? Like, it was a requirement.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Not me, but I've seen it, yeah.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: We don't do Halloween to the devil. And so you
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: had to be a character from the Bible. It did lead,
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: you know, you don't want to be JC. That's a
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: little too far.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do that.
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: But there's so many other characters, right? So, like, Moses
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: a couple of times because, you know, beard, tablets, you're set.
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: If you had an older cousin, which I did, you
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: could go as David and Goliath because all you had
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: to do was have a slingshot and you were tiny
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: because you were a kid.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Simple costume.
• 38:20
  Speaker 19: Boom.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: And that fixed it. I wonder if that's why I'm
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: just not that big of a Halloween dress-up guy.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not either. After my sixth grade traumatic
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: experience with Merlin, I really I wanted if I was
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: going to dress up as anything, it was going to
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: be pretty simple. I remember Halloween 2001. So I was
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: living in Austin in a previous era. I had been
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: in Northwest Arkansas and the radio station there, we would
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: trade station t-shirts for people's work shirts.
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, I dig that.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: That's right. So it was really cool. And I had
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: in fact gotten a, like a Dickies long sleeve button
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: up work shirt from a listener.
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I think his name was Joe on his name tag.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: All right. That's a, that's where I'd wear.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: That all the time, dude. And it was from the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Springdale street and sanitation department. So I still had that
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: shirt in 2001.
• 39:13
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: And I had an old coonskin cap and a pickle bucket,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and I left the coontail hanging out.
• 39:20
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: And I walked around wearing that shirt with a bucket
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: oh you were like i was picking up roadkill roadkill
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: man it's not bad from springdale arkansas i did that
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: so it was great but the thing that's really memorable
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: about that and remember the date this was halloween october
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: of 2001 yeah i was partying on sixth street and
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: i walked into the bar side by side with a
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: fellow that i knew not really a friend but because
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: he hung out on the corner at sixth and congress
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and Every day, he was well-known. We had had conversations before.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Are you talking about the true mayor, the true king
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: of the city of Austin?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: The most famous homeless person ever.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: Leslie Cochran.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Leslie Cochran.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if any of you guys did any time in
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Austin in the, well, I would say it goes back
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: a ways, but definitely the 90s and the 2000s, you
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: couldn't miss Leslie.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: He had a hotel luggage cart that was full of
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: various things.
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: Here's how famous Leslie was. Leslie was so famous as
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: a homeless man. He ran for mayor. And that son
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: of a gun almost won.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Nearly. And probably would have been better than what was there.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: But Leslie would push around his hotel cart wearing heels,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: a G-string, and a tiara.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: Yep, that was him, man. That was him.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: In the wintertime, he might put on a fur coat.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: If you were lucky.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: If you were lucky. Yeah. So walked into, I can't
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: remember the bar, looked beside me, and walking in beside
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: me is Leslie. Halloween, 2001, October. He is dressed as
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Osama bin Laden.
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: Good God, Leslie.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And I told you off air I was going to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: tell you something about Leslie that would blow your mind.
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: Is this going to get us in trouble before you
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: go down this road?
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: No trouble at all.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: No trouble at all. I trust you.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: No trouble at all. Leslie, before he was a homeless
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: man in Austin, worked as a radio DJ in Shreveport, Louisiana.
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: No, he did not.
• 41:08
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: That's our future.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: Why does that not surprise.
• 41:12
  Speaker 22: Me in the least, Will?
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: No.
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: There's no part of that Christine I got the cardboard
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: box costume Vinyl cover all face mask in the 1970s
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: So I could dress as Lancelot Link My mom had
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: to explain it to me After I saw the pic
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: You're going to have to explain that.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: One to me You said 1970s Which means it can't
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: be Zelda My first thing was Zelda.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: But yeah, send me a, Christine, send a pic. We'll
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: figure this out. What else? Oh, look at this. One
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: of my favorite costumes was when I was in elementary
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: school at Fannin Elementary. I wore a trench coat and
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: a hat. And went as a spy, kind of like 007.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I see that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, spy is a pretty good one.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: By the way, I ended up with my picture in
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: The Eagle that day. That is viral before viral was viral.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: All right, take a break. We'll be back in a
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: few minutes on the Info Maniacs.
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs

  Speaker 10: If you don't appreciate the small things about your spouse,
• 42:54
  Speaker 10: even a salad will be enough to cause a fight
• 42:57
  Speaker 10: between the two of you. That's what marriage experts Les
• 43:00
  Speaker 10: and Leslie Parrott discovered early in their marriage. They were
• 43:03
  Speaker 10: making a salad together when he noticed how she was
• 43:06
  Speaker 10: slicing the carrots. The way she held the knife, the
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: way she chopped the carrots, they were all wrong. His
• 43:12
  Speaker 10: way was much safer and more efficient, well, at least
• 43:15
  Speaker 10: according to him. Thinking he was being helpful, Les intervened.
• 43:19
  Speaker 10: He demonstrated to Leslie what he believed was the proper
• 43:22
  Speaker 10: way to cut carrots. To Leslie's credit, she didn't lash
• 43:26
  Speaker 10: out or get offended. She accepted his corrections with poise,
• 43:30
  Speaker 10: and even tried a couple of his suggestions— Then she
• 43:32
  Speaker 10: went right back to what was most comfortable for her,
• 43:35
  Speaker 10: probably learned over a lifetime. Les and Leslie are both psychologists,
• 43:40
  Speaker 10: and they both agree that his behavior made being right
• 43:43
  Speaker 10: more important than his relationship with Leslie. She diffused the
• 43:47
  Speaker 10: problem by doing what he should have done, connect with her,
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: by emptying himself of himself. You can move your relationship
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: toward deeper intimacy if you'll appreciate the small things that
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: make your spouse who they are.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: When Dr.
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: Parrott did that, he discovered that he loved the way
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: his wife cut carrots. Her method was quirky, but it
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: was hers. And he wouldn't change it now for the world.
• 44:11
  Speaker 10: When you empty yourself of yourself, the things that once
• 44:14
  Speaker 10: drove you apart can bring you together again. To help
• 44:17

  Speaker 27: against Missouri on Saturday afternoon. Head coach Mike Elko spoke
• 46:50
  Speaker 27: about his personal relationship with Missouri's head coach.
• 46:53
  Speaker 28: I've known Drink for a long time. A ton of
• 46:55
  Speaker 28: respect for him. I think he does a phenomenal job.
• 46:57
  Speaker 28: I think he's done a great job building that program.
• 47:00
  Speaker 28: He's been at it for a long time. They're consistently
• 47:03
  Speaker 28: one of the best teams in the conference and certainly
• 47:06
  Speaker 28: present a lot of challenges in every aspect of the game.
• 47:08
  Speaker 27: Coach Elko also spoke about the offensive challenges that Missouri's
• 47:12
  Speaker 27: quarterback brings to the table.
• 47:14
  Speaker 28: He's really good. He delivers the ball really accurately. He's
• 47:17
  Speaker 28: comfortable throwing it into tight windows. Got a lot of
• 47:20
  Speaker 28: confidence in his arm and his ability to make throws.
• 47:22
  Speaker 28: And then he obviously has a ton of comfortability with
• 47:25
  Speaker 28: Caden Lee, who came over from Ole Miss with him.
• 47:28
  Speaker 28: And so you see that connection operate at a really,
• 47:31
  Speaker 28: really high level. And they've got a lot of really
• 47:33
  Speaker 28: talented outside receivers as well that can really stretch the field.
• 47:37
  Speaker 28: And so he's playing really, really good football.

• 51:38
  Speaker 6: we had other stuff to talk about today. But we've
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: just wasted that entire segment, that entire commercial break, diving
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: down a seemingly bottomless rabbit hole that surrounds Lancelot Link
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: secret chimp. We were talking Halloween costume. Christine said, yeah,
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: it was Lancelot Link. And she sent a picture. And
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: I was like, I still don't know what this is.
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: It looks like it's a chimp. And we'll start doing
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: some Googling.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Lancelot Link secret chimp ran... On Saturday mornings,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: there was a live-action morning spy spoof comedy series.
• 52:12
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: From September 12, 1970 to January 2, 71. Like, what's that,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: three weeks?
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: Well, when you consider the show, I don't know how
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: they would have possibly gotten more than three episodes out
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: of it.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: This thing is crazy. So it was created by a
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: couple of guys that were comedy writers for Get Smart.
• 52:34
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: It was... A cast entirely composed of real chimpanzees.
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: Bro, the whole cast was chimps.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: In elaborate costumes.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: It was all chimps. And they dressed them up like peoples.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Overdubbed with human voices.
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you imagine? Can you comprehend working
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: on that show surrounded by chimps?
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: So what do you do? I'm a chimp wrangler for
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: a TV show.
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: You cry. You hide.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: You got to remember, though, that was back in the
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: days when chimpanzees and orangutans were very popular. You had
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: BJ and the bear.
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: BJ and the bear.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: You had Clyde from Any Which Way But Loose.
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there was a moment that chimps really, people, before
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: they figured out they'd eat your face, they were quite popular.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the animal rights people said, no, you
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: can't use them. They're not happy.
• 53:25
  Speaker 6: Amy, a text in the following. When I was 10
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: years old, my dad and his friend created and built
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: a giant Hershey's Kiss costume that went over my entire body,
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: had two eyes where I could see out in place
• 53:37
  Speaker 6: from my arms, obviously legs, with a giant Hershey's Kisses
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: toilet paper ribbon out of the top of it, and
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: the rest was aluminum foil. Picture made the Wimberly newspaper.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: How about that? Big time.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: Real fame. Eric, my trick-or-treat days were at the intersection
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: of time where purchased costumes were becoming all the race,
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: and homemade costumes were still acceptable... at least according to
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: our parents. So I wanted to go as a teenage
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: mutant ninja turtle.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Michelangelo.
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: Yes, that was my question. To my dismay, my request
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: was not met with super cool purchasable costumes, but homemade
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: eye mask and armbands and a spray painted trash can
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: lid taped to my back. So embarrassing at the time.
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: back knowing what i know now it was my favorite
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: costume to date so much so i recreated years later
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: for a trip to northgate and rocked with all the
• 54:32
  Speaker 6: confidence that i should have.
• 54:34
  Speaker 11: Years that's that's baller that's a great story speaking of
• 54:39
  Speaker 11: costumes and confidence yeah how about luke favorite halloween costume
• 54:43
  Speaker 11: was the last time i dressed up 10 to 12
• 54:45
  Speaker 11: years ago a friend was throwing a halloween.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Party right i decided to go bow hunting Right. Headed
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: out to the ranch, killed a deer, cleaned, quarter it,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: put it in the cooler, headed straight to the party. Camo, bow,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: very authentic looking blood. It was a great costume. I'd
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: have kept the carcass and thrown it over my shoulder
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and walked over that. That's the only way it could
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: be more authentic. Throw it down on the table and say,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: cook that up.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: You know what? Sometimes it just works out that way.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's brilliant.
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: Sometimes it just works out that way. We love to
• 55:20
  Speaker 6: see it.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: If you can incorporate what you love to do into
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: your costume, and therefore you're not uncomfortable, right?
• 55:26
  Speaker 12: Exactly.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: I hate being uncomfortable in a costume.
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: There's nothing worse than having to dress up as something
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: that you're not sold as. It's like, ah.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's hot or it's bad. poking you someplace
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: no the staples holding the rubber band to the mask
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: you're poking on the side of your cheek yeah no.
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: That's not where it's at luke you had the right
• 55:43
  Speaker 6: idea uh i want to give you guys another reminder
• 55:46
  Speaker 6: that uh hey i don't know if you knew putting
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: elections on the way yeah you think are you i
• 55:52

• 55:55
  Speaker 6: have any idea But if you are wondering, you know,
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: what are you going to do about about getting informed? Because, like,
• 56:03
  Speaker 6: come on, y'all, like we're better than this now. You
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: can figure out who you need to vote for. And
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: we're trying to make it easy with candidate conversations brought
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: to you by our friends at Loyalty Plumbing. Scott DeLucia
• 56:13
  Speaker 6: has interviewed. I should add up the amount of time
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: elapsed in these videos.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: Hours and hours and hours. Cause it's most of the
• 56:22
  Speaker 6: candidates for our local state race is all sitting down
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: for half an hour. Talk their history, what, what they
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: bring to the roles, their beliefs, their, their, you know,
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: their incumbents, what they've done. And it's a great watch
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: or a great listen because you got both. You can
• 56:36
  Speaker 6: do it in podcast form as you're driving around or
• 56:38
  Speaker 6: if you want to watch some YouTube videos.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: It beaks the heck out of making your choice based
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: on a political advertisement.
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: Or just flipping coins when you walk into the voting
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: booth because I did. Yes, I have known people to
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: do that too. Doesn't matter how you do it. Just
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: get to the polling place. But if you have the option,
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: watch some of these interviews.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: 1620, 94.5.
