• 0:19
  Speaker 1: welch just as the Texas A and M Offices of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Student Life and Residence Life for their busiest and electrical
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: fire over the weekend will displace their offices. According to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the battalion, an electrical fire broke out Saturday morning at
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the Student Services Building, which houses student Life, Residence Life,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Disability Resources, and counseling and psychological services. Reports say no
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: one was injured, but the building will be closed for
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: several weeks. A College station man is jailed after allegedly
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: assaulting his pregnant wife. The woman claims thirty three year
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: old Christopher a Versa punched her in the head and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: headbutted her during an argument. She claims a Versa became
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: upset and took her cell phone after she received a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: text message. When she asked him to return her phone,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: he allegedly punched her in the back of the head
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: with a closed fist. She fell forward injuring her ribs,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but a Versa wasn't done. He grabbed her head with
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: both hands and headbutted her in the forehead. Officers observed
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: bruising on her ribs and swelling around her forehead, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Temples Hospital records say the woman suffered a concussion and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: bruised ribs. They did not take X rays because she
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is twelve weeks pregnant. She was released from the hospital
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: after being checked out by the emergency department. A Versa
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was charged with assault of a pregnant person and is
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: being held on fifteen thousand dollars bond. The rules for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: mail in ballots and Texas have been upheld by the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Conservative Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. It requires a driver's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: license number or the last four digits of your Social
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Security number.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Mail in voting is the least secure form of voting
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: we have in this country. The court upholding this requirement
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: is tremendously important.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Josh Finley with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says this
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: should be a model for other states when they seek
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to secure elections. In addition to the number verification, the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: law also imposed tough new rules on those assisting voters.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: As a way to crack down on voter intimidation, the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: FDA reclassified a recent egg recall and upgraded it to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: high risk. Over one point five million dozen eggs produced
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and distributed from farms in Texas have been recalled due
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to the risk of salmonilla. The eggs were sold locally
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at Kroger. The voluntary recall is for white shell eggs
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and brownshell cage free eggs with sell buy or best
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: buy dates between July twentieth and August seventeenth. More information
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: on the affected carton codes included in the recall can
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: be found at WTAW dot com. The Texas Education Agency
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: has released their letter grades for school districts statewide.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: During the last school year. The accountability reports find the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: public school performance flattened out. Overall, of the more than
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: nine thousand campuses rated, twenty five percent got an A,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: sixty percent got a B or C in about fifteen
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: percent a D or an F. At least five school
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: districts are on the edge of statewide intervention Austin, Waco, Greenville,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Ector County.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And Rawls.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: In many cases, it's an issue of a handful of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: schools consistently receiving an F rating. The Texas Tribune reports
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: these letter grades can affect everything from enrollment to the
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: larger community, as businesses may choose a higher performing area
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: to invest in. Districts can appeal their grades until September eleventh.

• 3:32
  Speaker 1: News Agriculture officials are cautiously optimistic that the New World
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: screwworm infestation, a majority of which has been found in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Texas since June, may be under control. Here's TSN's Jim Ryan.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: The parasitic larvae of the New World screwworm have been
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: found on forty four sheep, cattle, and goats in Texas
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and one dog in New Mexico, but after months of
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: working to control the spread, the US Department of Agriculture
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: says that only three cases remain active in two Texas
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: counties along the Mexican border. The inactive cases involved animals
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: that were either euthanized or died as a result of
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a screwworm infestation.

• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a few weeks ago. I picked up a few
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: simply because by the time I get done with the show, Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: having been up from two forty five. Yeah, I by
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the time I get home, which is generally around ten am,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I am so famished.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I mean obviously right, because, yeah, You've been
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: at work for an entire day, and I don't.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Feel like I eat very healthy. When I'm that hungry,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I'll just I'll either stop for something or what I cook.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I will cook extraordinary amounts of and eat it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: But what did you get a sampler package. They're all different.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I've picked up some last week that I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just okay, I don't know, I don't know breakfast bars
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that well, it's not my thing. So I picked up
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a couple of different ones and I tried really hard
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: for a week to like them. I think the remainder
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of those are going to be put over beside, like
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the extra stone from building the house, because I think
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I can use those for construction products. That's what they
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: taste like, that's what they feel like.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: You're saying that they're just basically like eating rocks.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: It's a dense, dense thing, man. I mean it's just
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: really there's a lot of weight per square inch, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: just hard to chew through.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Which one is the word rank what you've tried?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what you Yeah. I picked up
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it was like two different flavors of the same brand,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and I ate them for the week and they worked,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and they were supposedly you know, high end protein or
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: whatever that you got to get these days. So at
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the story yesterday, I was like, I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: pick up a couple of different ones. So I got
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: this one and it's like Dave's Snacks or something sounds familiar.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's got like a I don't know which Dave from
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: from music it's talking about. It's got a Dave with
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a guitar on it, so it maybe it's a rocking day. Yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it looks like a rocking day. I keep thinking Dave
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Schools from my favorite band who plays bass. But then
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I counted the strings and I don't think it was
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that Dave's Dave Snacks or something. I don't know, but
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it was a blueberry and almond butter product.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Oh this is This is from the guy who makes
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Dave's Killer Bread.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah that guy.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, okay, I've heard of Dave's Killer Bread. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: think that's the the convict bread thing like they give
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: they give second chances to. Anyways, it's very pop. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: don't know if that's true. I've just heard a commercial
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: about it might just be a regular well, I like,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, is a gimmick? Is a gimmick?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I think I'm cooler now because I ate some convict bread.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: You'll get to see you can get snack bites in
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: all sorts of things. They don't look like breakfast bars though.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: But anyway, what did you.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Think what bad. It was better than what I had previously,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the other ones that I picked up, and I just
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: tried another one. Here is the HGB brand Sweet and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Salty salted car milk or Nola Bar. Okay, really good.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I just I just killed one right now.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: AGB has just got it on. I don't know who
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: they rip off for these things. They've got it on
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: lock they know exactly.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think they rip off as much as you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: remember who was a Trader Joe's that got in trouble
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for stealing uncrustables and other stuff and putting their own brand.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Name on it, calling it some kind of something.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And people rave about the Joe's. I don't. I've been
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in one and it was kind of ah. It was
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: one in Memphis.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Outside really understand the Trader Joe's and maybe some of
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: you guys could clue me in. So I've lived in
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: places with Trader Joe's. I've been to Trader Joe's similar
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: to you're saying it just for me. It reminds me
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: of Schwans, y'all. Really, it really reminds me of Schwan's.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Everything's kind of for the most part.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: They had they had some cool stuff in there, but it's.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Just it's the same. It's Swans.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: The only thing, the only thing I really liked about
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it was they still used paper sacks, and I hate trees,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So now I like the old school paper bags. It's recyclable.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: So are you saying the hg B is the winner
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: out of all?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's clear, it's clear. And look there's look there,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: there's a place for the Brookshers, because there's towns that
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: don't know the Brookshers is right on, dude, I've shopped
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: at I went to the one here, and the only
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: thing crazy about the one here is that all the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: sizes of all the products are really small, and sometimes
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: maybe the I think sometimes, so I just you don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: buy bulk there at all because it's really set up
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: for kids.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: On campus exactly.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: But it was cool. I enjoyed it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll go to the Kroger on occasion, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I craved the HIV and.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: CHIB stuff is just yeah, they are. They are firing
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: on a different level.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: And uh and speaking of fire on a different level,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: I bring you a tale of two businesses.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Business number one is shake Shack. You heard about this.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard about this, but the last time I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: went to a shake shack was not a great experience.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: I've never been. I've desired to go.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: We stuck to the floor.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: So my wife says that if you don't tip a
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: shape shack, they make it more expensive par items.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: So we're about to find out.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I did I did hear about this? Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: He alleges that he may have proven that if you
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: don't tip the robot, because it is a robot, it's
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: just a kiosk, then they raise.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: The rates set He oh, there's been a pricing that day.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I want them one of your products. Please review everything.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Every item went up by.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Fifty Every item went up by fifty cents. Every item
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: went up.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: By because he had zero no tip on the end
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: It's a no tip, not a human. This is just
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: a screen on a wall. And he was like, now
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna's no need for that. Boom, Okay, great,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: here's an extra tax for you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I may I may have misspoke earlier when I said
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: my last you know thing at the at the shake
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: shack was I stuck to the floor. I think that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: was a steak and shake, which you know you can get.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: These are easily different thing. Another tail from fast food.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Chick fil A maybe the greatest example of a Chick
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: fil A kid we've had and quite sometimes.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Chick fil I believe the best.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: That is crazy good God. So this is a woman
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: who works at the Chick fil A that is running,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: running full sprint down a city street with a hot
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: coffee in hand because someone forgot their coffee and she
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: wasn't gonna let it go. Can you like? It's one
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: of the most amazing things. I when I heard about it,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, well, so someone was in the
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: drive through and kind of pulled off and she's like, hey, no,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: she she at least at least a quarter mile down
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: the road and she is trucking. She is trucking. And
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: to this day, I still I'll ask every single time
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: one of these stories comes up. Every time, what is
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: it about the Chick fil A kids that makes them
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: do these?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this. It's culture number one. I did
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: have a thought though.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: There I need to hear from someone in the organization there.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, is it a is it a cult? Thinks
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: spell culture without Yeah, but that since I've never seen
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: a fast food worker do that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: You're not going to see somebody from Taco Tico sprinting
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: down the street.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: It's not going to happen.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It's shake Shack, not gonna happen at the Shakeshock. I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: do think about it this way. If you were to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: remember the old you know on TV, back before there
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: was reality programming and stuff, they had like Battle of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the Network Stars. Oh I remember that. Yeah, where they
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: would get out there and they'd have physical fitness competitions
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: between network stars. I want to do that with fast
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: food restaurant employees Landslock like Dutch Bros.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: To give them run for their money.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't care, they might win. I agree Dutch
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Bros might be in there too, but I would watch
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: every episode, every episode, every episode, so it'd be Chick
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: fil A. I'm definitely putting what a Burger in there.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: I think they need to be included in the discussion.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: You gotta have it in and out crew like you,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: but just get all of the heavyweights.
• 12:58

• 13:56
  Speaker 5: roll out competition show and we've got chopped. Food Network
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: has chopped? Is it because the brands don't want to
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: get risks? Yeah, get exposed. They don't want to they
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: want to get skunked by the Chick fil A kids

• 14:10
  Speaker 5: in boxing.
• 14:10

  Speaker 1: star team of athletes quote unquote from various fast food
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: locations should take part of this. You know what. That's

  Speaker 1: how mister T was discovered. What mister T was discovered
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: in some network special that was a battle of bouncers.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I remember watching this live as a kid, and you
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: had to like run through a door, you had to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: smash a picture or and we know.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: That mister T was in fact, he was a bouncer
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: security guy.

  Speaker 1: Yeah right, And that's how he got picked up. That's
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: how he got noticed because he I mean, he blew

  Speaker 5: Okay, switching gears. What is the top soda in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: soda game?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I guess I get in my house the first, not
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in your house.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Just in general, the biggest one in the world.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Is the biggest brand in the world is is kind
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: equivocally Coca Cola. Coc Cola.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: Now, if we're gonna.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: Talking about our favorite soda, I'm a doctor Pepper person.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Everybody is perhaps we should be uh, we should be
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: flipping those two around, because from what I see over here,
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: coke cola isn't even that popular. If you go by state, yes.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: In the United States, I would I would say by
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: my own anecdotal evidence that it is not coke at
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: number one.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Now, so this is one of those things where they
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: break down every again. Every state has a favorite.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: The globally Coca Cola.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Globally, Coca Cola sales probably the most. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: But if you go by state, there's only like three
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: states where coca cola is the favorite. Those are Florida, Georgia,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: and Louisiana. Now, if you had diet coke gets a
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: little more respectable. They add four. So let's combine those two.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: If your state's favorite soda is diet anything, oh.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: There's nothing better than a diet coke, dude. And it's
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: not because of the diet. It's just because there's nothing
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: that is so crisp. It's so crisp, like something about
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: it just hits right. No, the aspar tame whatever it is,
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: whatever the whatever.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Is sixteen out it contains the chemicals that you are
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: pouring into the.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Pure uranium they put into that thing, whatever it is.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: So that's seven states and coke zero number one and two,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: so let's give them two more.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Coke zero is number one in California and Hawaii. We
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: all know that they should not count for anything.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: But that's nine. That's nine that you could technically rope
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: under the coc cola banner. Dr Pepper's got.
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: Seventeen, Oh, Texas and doctor Pepper.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Of course it is, of course Texas. How would we
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: not be doctor Pepper? What would something beaten out? Doctor Pepper?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Doctor Pepper is the national soda of Texas. It is
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the national soda Texas.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: But who else is on that bandwagon? Alaska Doctor Pepper,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Arizona Doctor Pepper, Colorado, kans Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Tennessee because they just want to be us anyway, and Virginia,
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: all of which are doctor Pepper. Almost doubling up coke
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: at this point.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: If I have to reach for soda, Doctor Peppers is
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the highest on my list.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: New York, New York's number one is the schweps ginger ale.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Will I like a ginger ale on occasion, settle the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: stomach on a flight A little bit maybe, But I
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: don't go out of my way for ginger ale, But
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: yeah I will. I will occasionally reach for a mountain dew.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: That's that's and you know what, there are people just
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: like you only in Appalachia. I didn't know it was
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: so big in Appalachia. I mean, I thought mountain dew
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: is more of a gamer thing. But like no Appalachia,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: they're steerous about that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Dude. Well, my Appalachian roots in my.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Ohio, South Carolina, Wisconsin all do the dew.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: When I was a young child, I don't know where
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: it came from, but I got one of those ceramic
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: like moonshine jugs. It was kind of small. It was
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: probably something from a roadside stop someplace, right, yes, But
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: as a as a like five to seven year old,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I used to fill it up with mountain dew and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: carry it around the neighborhood and drink it like I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: was sip and shine.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Jason, Texan, I've been a long time listener until Tucker
• 18:32

• 18:37

  Speaker 5: a better chance.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Bob texted him. By the way, diet doctor Pepper is
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: directly linked to diabetes. I don't have the scientific studies
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: on that. However, since Tucker is now a diabetic after
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the cookie earlier, maybe we could test him.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Riley's cookie cake has forced me into the beatus this morning.

  Speaker 1: use of Flock cameras. People seem to love them or
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: hate them. The company behind more than one hundred twenty

• 22:54
  Speaker 1: special meeting Friday morning to discuss a proposed multi purpose
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: facility at the Washington County the Expo Center. The court
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: ordered that a bond election be added to the November
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: third ballot. The proposition will allow Washington County voters to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: decide on whether or not to authorize funding for the project.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: The facility would provide a weather protected, year round, flexible
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: venue for livestock, equine, rodeo, agriculture, trade shows, community and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: other events. It also helped attract larger events that would
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: in turn support the local economy. If approved, the project
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: is estimated to result in a one point four to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: three cent property tax increase per one hundred dollars to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: cover the county's interest in seeking tax rate to fund
• 23:37

  Speaker 9: a driver's license number or the last four digits of
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: your social security.

  Speaker 1: The Texas Education Agency has released their letter grades for
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: school districts statewide during the last school year. The accountability

• 24:27
  Speaker 1: an A, sixty percent got a B or C, and
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: about fifteen percent got a D or F. At least
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: five school districts are on the edge of state intervention Austin, Waco, Greenville,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Actor County, and Rawls. In many cases, it's an issue
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: of a handful of schools consistently receiving an F rating.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: These letter grades can affect everything from enrollment to the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: larger community, as businesses may choose a higher performing area
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to invest in. Districts can appeal their grades. Until September eleventh,

• 31:22
  Speaker 5: they're better than the CIA. Absolutely find anything out they
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: want to. Yeah, I did see this. It was kind
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: of interesting about just kind of the state of college
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: and and where everyone is. The average spend per semester
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: for what you pay for course materials somehow continues to
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: drop three hundred and thirty eight dollars on average, which
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: is down from four hundred and forty one the year before.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: And I don't even know what it was when I
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: was going to school. It was because now it's everything electronic.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: You don't have to actually go buy the books anymore.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Somehow that makes it cheaper. I guess, I guess. But
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: here's the deal, And this is another one of those
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: you know, remember the shell game.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: This is what they're doing, right, So they want to
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: be able to tell you that we've lowered costs and tuition,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: But then all of your other fees now have have
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: gone up. Meal plans, absolute their dorm room, all of
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: that stuff has gone up.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: They get it one.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Athletic passes or whatever else they're getting it one way
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: or another. They're just moving the shells.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Well, well, I'll tell you there's another way. You can
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: find a way to spend all that savings money from
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: the money you used to spend on books, and that
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: is made services. Fastest rising luxury among college students. That
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: there is is getting made services and getting laundry service.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: So the daughter's new place, they do have a once
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a month service that is included maide service that is
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: included in their in their place.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: And as a the landlord is like, hey, I send
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: a maiden take care of it, just like some people
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: do the grass.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: And that's once a month. You can contract with them
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: for Wow. But I get it. I get it as
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a homeowner, as a person who owns rental properties, having
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: somebody in there once a month at least to go
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: give it a little clean up. Not a bad deal.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: Here's the only thing I don't like about. And again,
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: if you want to, if you guys want to weigh in,
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, maybe it's a brilliant idea nine to nine,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: six five, sixteen twenty. I feel like it, just I mean,
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: I'm your daughter's probably different. I feel like if you
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: give someone laundry services and made services. They never really
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: learn how to you know, clean.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she can do it. Yeah, and her roommates, they're
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: going to have a fairly clean place. Trust me. I've
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: seen worse, oh than what they're going to provide it.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: And they do have laundry services there. We when when
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: she was in the dorm and when she was in
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the sorority house. Because it's first of all, the laundry
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: facilities at the dorm, your clothes came out worse than
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: what they started. Yeah, yeah, you don't want that, Yeah,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you don't want that. And then at the sority house,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: just it's so many girls trying to use the same
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: facility on earth. So there was a laundry business there. Yeah,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: that that I mean, that's not a bad gig.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: There have several of them here and they do great work.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: It really good.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Harvey Washbangers used to be a go to for me.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: I peede the Harvey Washbank whenever, whenever the ladies in
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: my home would let their laundry get to the overwhelming
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and they just there was no way to get it done.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Why didn't they bring that back? I get it, It's tragic.
