• 7:45
  Speaker 1: which there was a huge debacle with the reception and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the air conditioning went out, and I told my wife
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that we had to leave because there were people there
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that would not leave until we did and their deaths
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: would be on our hands. So we had a little
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: time before turning in for the night and we needed
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to do a little shopping. Mandy wanted to go get
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a camera for our honeymoon. In the meantime, she also

  Speaker 1: wanted her favorite sandwich because as people who have been
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: through a wedding, no, if you are the bride and groom,

  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't like jelly.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: I know, I know it sounds horrible, but this is
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: the thing, and that she wouldn't have any appreciation for

• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Diablo from Must Be Heaven in Branham textas they.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Used to have one here on Rock Prairie and I'd
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: forgotten about it. Oh so good. They had a great Ruben.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: Too, scared of something that has Diablo in the name.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Don't be scared, Riley. You took a dodgeball to the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: face and lost three tea.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: What's there to feel.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: I've also broken a poll and broken three ribs and
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: knocked myself out.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: He's still scared of it. Stephen goes on to say
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: he misses when they were in college station on Rock
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Prairie and you could get those he Must be Heaven was.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: In the pies. They had a buttermilk pie.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so goodly. I want to talk about the dating
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: landscape again. Well, it's it's so we I feel compelled
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: to present this evidence of people who my assumption is
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: a lot of people listening to the show were in
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: long term relationships or a little bit older or whatever.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: It is like a it's like the thunderdome out there.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: It'll be a miracle when I find some if.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: You're trying to We talked about it earlier this week,
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: the fact that Riley assumes that any male that she meets,
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: it's in her age range, is going to be playing
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: basically spending all his free time playing video games, which,
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: by the way, we proved that's almost conclusively true gen
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: z mail spends seventy five percent of the waking hours
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: playing video games or they're non working hours, sorry, when
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: they're not on the top, and also compulsively gambling on sports.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, which are not great qualities, not great, not great.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: But we also have this little piece of research that
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: gives us whether or not certain things in a relationship
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: count as cheating. So for the purposes of this, what
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: I'm going to do is I'm going to read one.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: We're going to get Riley's take, your take, my take,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: and then I will tell you whether or not the
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: majority of the people they talk to considered this to
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: be cheating. Are we ready, number one, keeping an ongoing
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: flirtatious text conversation with someone that is not your partner
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: cheating or not cheating?
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna say yes, because I guess it can lead
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: to somewhere.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: I would have said cheating, cheating, I said cheating.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: That is emotional cheating. Only forty one percent of people
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: agree that that's cheating. Forty one percent of people are idiots.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: No, forty percent of people agreed, So sixty percent of
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: people are idiots. Sixty well, sixty talking with one person
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: late into the night while hiding it from your partner.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: That's where the hiding is. Where you get there.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: The hiding is cheating. Only forty percent of people said cheating.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Maintaining a dating profile quote just to look unquote or
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: for validation, cheating, cheating.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Immediately Okay, you have a dating profile at all, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: you're in a relationship with someone, you're automatically searching for
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: something else.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Sixty three percent of people said not cheating.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: How many men were in this study.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's just the man. I don't think
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it's just the men.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Who did you talk to?
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know many women that would have a dating
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: profile once they finally have found someone, because women will Okay,
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: I can't speak on every one of them. When I
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: find someone, I'm not and I actually truly want to
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: be at that person, I'm not going to do anything
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: that even would risk that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: You are above average. I'm getting the.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Devil's advocate side of this, the devil's advocate side, And
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: I don't know if this is true. Is I never
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: online dated? But is there something to It's like, well, look,
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: I just started dating this person. You get two or
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: three months in and you're like, well, I don't want
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: to delete my profile because then I have to make
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: a new profile if this doesn't work out. I mean,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: that's the only reason I could go with that. But
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: even then, it's like, who cares?
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Just making it. When you reach the point where you
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: say we're exclusively we start dating that, you gotta go.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: Most people agree keep that profile, just not know. Keeping
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: someone in your phone under a fake.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Name sneaking is not. That's not good cheating.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Only thirty seven percent of people said that was cheating.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Keeping in touch with an X without telling your partner,
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: without telling your par like I mean.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're if you're acting, if you're actively hiding.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: It, actively hiding it is the prophet you just hadn't
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: brought it up, because why would why would you bring
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: it up? That's the only one on this I would
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: agree that's probably not cheating. There's some gray area there, definitely. Yes,
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: you can touch with your ex if I don't know, I.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Have got if you have kids with that said partner, yes,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: but outside of having kids, there is no reason whatsoever
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: you should be talking to your ex partner at all.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm friends with at least two women that
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I dated, of course decades ago, right U and even
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: long before I met my wife. And that's because those
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: people were very kind to me, and they were very
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: special and and and treated me better than I deserved.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: They're just good people. Yeah. And and my my wife
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: yeah nose, And we don't. I don't reach out to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: them all the time.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but you wouldn't be surprised if they reached out
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: to you at some point.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Hey man, are you doing oh, you know, just sharing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a funny thing or something like that, you know, But
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: but no, there's it is. But my wife is very
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: aware of it. And it's not like we communicate all
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the time or anything like that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: So Riley, you're gonna say cheating, yes, okay, my age.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Yes, because I'm sorry, Like, for instance, like people I
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: did in high school, it's a little bit different, like
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: if they were to reach out to me and ask
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: me the question or just say hey, like their starters one,
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: why are you texting me?
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's just weird.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: We haven't.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's different if it's like kiddie school stuff, but.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: No secretly meeting someone one on one cheating, cheater? Only
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: thirty six percent of peoples.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: What kind of morally depraved people? Did they read?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Having a uh, secret friendship your partner doesn't know about?
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: Same percentage people said, like, that's that is a secret
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: friendship your partner doesn't know about, like a secret friendship,
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Like and I'm sure the arguments, well, it's not a
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: remote Yeah, I don't know.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: If ill that, I don't know that, I'd call that cheating.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I would call that immoral.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: Kind of weird. Uh sending heart emojis, compliments or inside
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: jokes to someone in a romantic way, they say, which
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: is a romantic way, in a romantic way, And that's
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: again that's a gray area.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: That's like, because I've got a good friend who's like
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a sister to me and we never dated, known each
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: other for years, but I love her lover as a sister.

  Speaker 1: has gone from eighty four point one million to one
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty one point six million. Does that sound right?
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, that sounds about right.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a big, big jump in that budget.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So the questions that you're anticipating are, well, the.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: Question, well, basically there's a it's a sticker shocking.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: It's like, whoa, whoa, this is huge. What what you know?
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Tell me about this?
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: Well, all of the projects are things that you know
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: that the council has discussed, that the voters have approved that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: You know, we're we're preparing infrastructure. Uh, you know, it's
• 30:17
  Speaker 11: it's all. It's all stuff that we need to do.
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: Ah and in some years we do less, in other
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: years we do more. But that big number in the
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: capital budget doesn't affect our current the portion of our
• 30:37
  Speaker 11: tax rate that goes to debt service.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: It doesn't change that.
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: So so if we were to take everything out of
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: the capital budget, it wouldn't change the tax rate.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: That wouldn't do anything.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay. Any other things you're anticipating getting asked about, you.
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: Know, it's not specific into the budget, but I we
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: something that I hear a lot about is the flock cameras.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: That issue is coming up, we will.
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: Have the opportunity to look at a renewal of that contract.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know the date that it's it's coming.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Up, and that'll be publicized to be part of that
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: agenda for that particular meeting.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: An item that the public will be aware of.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: It does seem like something, especially because the amount of
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: stories just not necessarily in college station, the amount of
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: stories that keep dropping every day on either side.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Good and bad. Yes, because we had stories this week
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: of a child being saved by one and we also
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: had stories about privacy invasion.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Legitimately, you had stories about like saved kid's life, yeah,
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: and then you had stories about someone who is grotesquely
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: abusing it. And the more that happens, I'm sure that
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: it's going to be every single meeting that you got have.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: If not, people I assume are probably calling you guys
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: with just unsolicited opinions there too.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Sure I get emails daily on that topic.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Where do you think it's leading as far as not leading?
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Where do you think the balance falls right now? In
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: terms of pro con from the people that you're hearing from.
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: Most of the people I'm hearing from are against them.
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: They're the ones that are speaking out. The people who
• 32:26
  Speaker 11: are okay with it aren't saying anything. And I really
• 32:29
  Speaker 11: don't know how many of those there are, but I
• 32:32
  Speaker 11: get the feeling there's a lot of people out there saying, hey,
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: I'm fine with this.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Well. Privacy concerns are something that everybody. A lot of
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: people share those same thoughts. Where it comes down to
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: it is and one of our listeners texted in about
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: this is how you safeguard the data, right And I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: know that we've talked to people within the city, within
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the police department who have said we have these safeguards
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: in place, and in both cities. As a matter of.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Fact, I've had this thought. I don't think we've ever
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: brought this up on the show. Has it ever been
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: has it ever crossing one's mind to try to de
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: y this. Is there a possibility you could establish a
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: network that is city owned or is there a company
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: that would give you the same thing without basically letting
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: that data be their proprietary property.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: It's a good idea to look into.
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: I don't know, I haven't heard any discussion along those lines.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: Because that seems to be a lot of it. It's like, yeah,
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: it just goes but but.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there would be. I mean, because it has
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: to be eventually, that data if you're looking for somebody,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: has to go nationwide.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Right, so there's a shared.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: It has to be shared in some way, shape or form.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And if you've got opposing systems.
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: Here where assolved crimes that have happened elsewhere.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: That's the thing.
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: The reason vehicles, Yeah, the reason they're so popular with
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: cities is it's it's something that you never had the
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: ability to do and you can absolutely lee.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: No, it's a game changer when it comes to apprehension
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: of perpetrators. Absolutely.
• 34:06
  Speaker 11: I do think that the privacy issue in general in
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: the big picture is something that concerns a lot of people.
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: And you know, you don't know how to go about
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: keeping your location stuff from being shared on your phone
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: or you know, you know this, it's like it's huge
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: and I can just sort of think about buying something
• 34:28
  Speaker 11: and I'll start getting ads. Yeah, but and that's that's scary.
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: But you don't know how to go about dealing with that,
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: and you kind of just forget about it. Well, the
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: flock cameras, you do know who to.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: Call, that's true, And there's a person.
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: And I think that there's that's some of the reason
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: why we hear so much is there's a lot of
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: general frustration over privacy.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Here's one that I think I can do something about.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have a contact, a point of contact that
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: you can shoot an email or make a phone call too.
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, very tr right. I know it's going to keep
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: coming up for a little while, but it's a it's
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: a I know, it's an amazingly complex.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: It's some tough and interesting decisions on that, and some
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: interesting conversations coming up about budget at the next city
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: council meeting.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: All right, anything else we need to cover?
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Do you have anything?
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: College's always got.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Stuff, always got.
• 35:20
  Speaker 12: We have got the final numbers in for the economic
• 35:22
  Speaker 12: impact of the Games of Texas.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: Oh, all right, let's go.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: They had a.
• 35:26
  Speaker 12: Total of seven five hundred and eighty four athletes from
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: across the state coming to College Station in brynd That
• 35:33
  Speaker 12: was that event was from July thirtieth to August second.
• 35:35
  Speaker 12: That injected an estimated eight point one million dollars into
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: our local economy. Had ten sports across multiple venues across town.
• 35:44
  Speaker 12: This was the ninth time that that our cities have
• 35:48
  Speaker 12: hosted this in the sixth is twenty fourteen. Next four years,
• 35:52
  Speaker 12: it's going to be in far in Lubbock and then
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: they'll have a competitive bid process.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: See who hosts next, right, be part of that.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: It's it's it's wild how big that has gotten over
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: the years. And yeah, you felt all of those seven
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: eight thousand.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in a wonderful way the time. That is great
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: that it happens during a time that's kind of a
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: lull here in town. And I think it's a wonderful event.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: And I think if we're just trying to compare ourselves
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: to far or Lubbock will win. So God, I hope so,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I mean we got to I.

  Speaker 1: You could. I mean I would be willing. It would
• 38:21

  Speaker 6: If you have ever been in that road, if you
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: have ever been in that scenario, if every restroom at

  Speaker 6: that point looks like a.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Bucky's team any port in a storm, you.
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: May as well. Yeah exactly. It's like the light from

  Speaker 6: heaven comes down and guides your path. You do not
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: need to do. That is not a timer like, well,

  Speaker 6: The sheriff's office. While we all love the clean bathrooms
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: and the variety of tasty snacksack, if you we're going
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: to use that as an excuse, you should probably make
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: sure you're actually close to it. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
