  Speaker 2: feel the difference. We're talking about the, you know, that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: whole conversation of when it's the first curse word of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the day. Several people.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Several people.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's immediate.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Will can't relate to that because Will is a.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'm a morning person.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: He's a morning person.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Now, there have been times in my life where... For
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: whatever reasons, the mornings have been a struggle, but they
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: are currently not.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: But on average, you like the morning. You like waking up.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You like getting started with your day. I've always been
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: interested in the breakdown there, because obviously there's people that aren't.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And I do have the amount, like the percentage of Americans.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'm curious about this.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Morning people. But we'll get to that. The way they
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: tested this out was they asked... I think it was
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: like 5,000, 6,000 people. How do you feel when you
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: wake up in the morning? And you could only give
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: one word.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So with that said, what would your one word, on average,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: because again, if you've got like two hours of sleep,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you've got to bet.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, on average.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: What word describes your mood when you wake up in
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the morning? What is it?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Well, the older I get, that word becomes more and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: more grateful. Oh, grateful is good. That I woke up.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Grateful is good.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Generally speaking, I would just say good. Good morning.
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I would like to test this out. So, again, if
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you want to play along with this for like five seconds, 979-695-1620,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: what word describes your mood when you wake up in
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the morning? I'll give you some of the options that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: were listed. This is like the top of the votes.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It runs the gamut. Angry, grumpy, moody, excited, and they
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: go up from there. But there were two that were
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: right at the top of the pile that I am
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: very interested to see if anyone lands on. Because, again,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: there is the overall percentage of what percentage of Americans
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: would call themselves mourning people. And You would think it's 50-50.
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: No, I wouldn't.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It's not close.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: No, I would.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It's not close.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I would say that I'm in a clear minority, probably
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in a 20%-ish type of thing.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Okay. Okay.
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Okay. You guys are great. Text messages for the word
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that defines how you feel when you wake up in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the morning. Charlie. I think I pronounced that right.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Evan, blessed. I love that. Chase says it's either defeated
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: or hallelujah, either one.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Tanya says a grunt.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, so similar to Charlie, who just spelled it out.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And Evan, Evan, you're with me, man.
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Blessed.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Blessed, yes. And, you know, that's good to see. By
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the way, so let's get back to the overall. And, again,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: so you said you thought.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I'd say about 20% of people are morning people. 20%
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of people.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and flip that. It's 80% of people in
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: America consider themselves morning people.
• 8:37
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: That's what they say.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: None of my household would consider themselves. My oldest daughter
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: has a chance to be a morning person because she
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: can get up and get rolling, but she's at an
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: age where that's a challenge.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: The most commonly given words to describe how people feel
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: when they wake up in the morning.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Happy.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: With about 28% of people. Energized. About 20% of people. Refreshed.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Those three.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Happy, energized, and refreshed.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: What's that like? What's that like? I thought I was
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: an outlier all these years. And now I know that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I have people. You are my people.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: You have all of you guys. Apparently are morning people.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And then all of the people that aren't are texting in.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Fluke. Tired.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: That's how I feel. Tired. My wife told me this
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: morning it might be time for a CPAP. I need
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to look into that, too, because there is that question.
• 9:40
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Could you put the mask on and it completely change
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: your perspective.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: In the morning?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people say that. I've been
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: reticent to try it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: I just.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Chris, team grunts.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Nearly 50 years waking up early and I still can't
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: do mornings. Mary, another one says, I absolutely have to.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: stay blessed every single day. I wake up feeling blessed.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I'd love to hear that. So yeah, it goes from there.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And Jeff says, somebody is lying in this survey.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Must be. I can tell you that my wife's word,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: if you were having to give her the word for
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the morning, and I didn't see it covered in the survey,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: would be grisly.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Right there with you, ma'am.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.
• 10:51

• 11:31
  Speaker 13: off I-35. Traffic through Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Now
• 11:37
  Speaker 13: her traffickers are in prison because Ken Paxton put them there.
• 11:41
  Speaker 13: 40 years for the trafficker, 20 years for the woman
• 11:45
  Speaker 13: who posted the ads online. The human trafficking and organized
• 11:49
  Speaker 13: crime unit that locked them up, Ken Paxton built it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 13: The website that sold kids like used cars, Ken Paxton
• 11:57
  Speaker 13: shut it down. Politicians talk the talk about protecting our kids.
• 12:02
  Speaker 13: Ken Paxton walks their traffickers directly to prison. Protecting Texas
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: kids and locking up the people who prey on them
• 12:10
  Speaker 13: online and off. Prosecutor, dad, attorney general, Ken Paxton for U.S.

• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, Garrett.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Ready to roll in the morning.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: There you go, Garrett.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Team will.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Team will.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Same with Jeff. He says, I'm the only morning person
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in my house out of five, so I'm with you
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: at 20%. Team will.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Very, very interesting. I love the fact because I thought, again,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I thought I was out on an island kind of
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: by myself, a clear minority. But it turns out that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that's not the case.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, Nolan says, don't sleep on that CPAP. He
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: says he made the jump and it absolutely changed his life.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: And I've known several people who say that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: If you are having some problem with sleep apnea and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: you just feel like death every single morning, maybe you
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: don't even know. You feel like death every single morning
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and just like so tired no matter when you go
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: to bed. Yeah, maybe go get that checked out. It
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: can't make a difference. Can we get a fat bear update?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: We can get a fat bear update.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Because I like I.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: We are at the bitter end.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what does that mean?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: That means we are in the semifinals. So the four
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: contestants that are left, the final four. The 1-3-2 family,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a seasoned first-time competing mama bear who successfully raised and reunited.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: with their three spring cubs after a dramatic separation scare.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So they got the emotion there with the 1-3-2 thing.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, so that's the heartfelt contender that we want. That's
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: who America's pulling for, I would assume.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Everyone loves a story.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: There's Bear 910, part of a unique history-making blended bear
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: family who proved her resourcefulness by mastering multiple fishing spots
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and food sources.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Holy cow.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Bear 89, Backpack. A ten-and-a-half-year-old fan, favorite male bear, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: son of former champion 435 Holly.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, generational talent right here, boy.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Known for his massive size, his blonde-tipped ears, and surprisingly relaxed,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: non-confrontational manner.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. These are
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: still grizzly bears, right?
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, right.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: These are grizzly. It's laid-back, non-confrontational.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think maybe in certain circumstances.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: To find Ash.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: He pulled in the highest vote total of the quarters,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: by the way.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And the final contestant here, Bear 164, Bucky Dent. The story,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a younger, assertive male bear who shook up the tournament
• 14:46

  Speaker 2: They had a serious discussion about which bear was the leader.

  Speaker 1: Are you really?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I am, 11 minutes ago, and he's sitting there looking

  Speaker 2: out at the mountains, and there are some storms coming through, boy.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Beautiful.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: They're getting a nice taste. Will it make it all
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the way here? Not today. Today, 95 for the high,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: and then a 20% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: But as the week rolls on, that chance of rain
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: goes to an almost certainty by the weekend, and the

  Speaker 2: temperatures start to drop tomorrow. Same thing as today, 95,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: but a 40% chance of rain. We'll keep walking it

  Speaker 23: The FAA said it will not certify Boeing 737 MAX
• 22:49
  Speaker 23: 10 until it assesses a new software bug. The issue,
• 22:52
  Speaker 23: which Boeing flagged last month, could cut off automated landing
• 22:56
  Speaker 23: guidance if pilots must perform a go-around or attempt a
• 23:00
  Speaker 23: landing again. Boeing had expected the MAX 10 to win
• 23:03
  Speaker 23: FAA approval in the coming weeks. The NBA season hasn't
• 23:06
  Speaker 23: even started and the Philadelphia 76ers signing of LeBron James
• 23:10
  Speaker 23: is already paying off. Boyd Company projects that the first
• 23:14
  Speaker 23: full year of LeBron James with the 76ers could add
• 23:17
  Speaker 23: up to $ 430 million in total regional economic activity. Kipler
• 23:22
  Speaker 23: data says that crude oil exports from key Middle East
• 23:25

• 23:30
  Speaker 23: That's the highest since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran started
• 23:34
  Speaker 23: in late February. Futures are mixed. Yesterday, the Dow lost 347.

  Speaker 7: The team's looking good this season.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I think so. Man, I miss playing football.
• 23:52
  Speaker 15: Ever since I turned 40, I just can't find that fire.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I used to have.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: Think it could be lower testosterone?
• 23:56
  Speaker 11: What do you mean?
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: I was feeling the same way. After 40, the body
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: has less testosterone, and men lose their edge. That's why
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: I take Nugenics Total T2. That's the testosterone booster, right? Yes,
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: but Total T2 is their brand new formula that skyrockets
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: nitric oxide levels in as little as three hours. Since
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: I started taking it, I've been lifting like when we

  Speaker 7: played for Coach Carter. My energy is way up, and
• 24:13

  Speaker 25: Bill Gates has made another bold and dire prediction about

  Speaker 3: None.
• 25:13
  Speaker 25: By 2035, Gates said there would be zero poor countries
• 25:17
  Speaker 25: left in the world. He also said that spam would
• 25:19
  Speaker 25: be eradicated by 2006. I love this one. Gates also
• 25:23
  Speaker 25: predicted that the Internet would create an infallible system to
• 25:27
  Speaker 25: ensure the accuracy of all information.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: And there's also this.
• 25:30
  Speaker 25: Microsoft has invested more than $ 300 billion in AI. Too

  Speaker 1: statewide infrastructure to translate discovery into service at that scale.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott is taking action to try to alleviate
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: some of the pain at the pump. He issued a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: statewide disaster proclamation on Monday. to allow the expanded use
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: of dyed diesel on Texas roads. Red dyed diesel is
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: typically used in ag operations and sold without a motor
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: fuels tax. Because it is untaxed, state law bars its
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: use on public roadways. Governor Abbott asked EPA Administrator Lee
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Zeldin for a temporary Clean Air Act waiver of federal
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: diesel rules. Those standards limit which diesel can be sold,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and a waiver would allow more fuel to reach Texas pumps.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: The governor's proclamation suspends state restrictions and associated penalties so
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: operators can use such fuel on Texas roads. It does
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: not waive the underlying fuel tax. A large portion of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the state is expected to experience heavy rains and flooding
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: this week. The governor says state agencies will be standing by.
• 30:41
  Speaker 14: Parts of the I-35 corridor from the Oklahoma border through
• 30:44
  Speaker 14: DFW and south of San Antonio could get 10 inches
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: of rain this week from a cold front. while Governor
• 30:49
  Speaker 14: Greg Abbott says West Texas and the Panhandle will get
• 30:51
  Speaker 14: drenched from the remnants of Hurricane Polo.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: There could be damage to property because of this water.
• 30:56
  Speaker 20: Know that your life is far more than the value
• 30:59
  Speaker 20: of any piece of property.
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd says this
• 31:03
  Speaker 14: will cover a wider area than heavy rain in July.
• 31:05
  Speaker 16: Turn around, don't drown is the most important message.
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: We can get that out.
• 31:08
  Speaker 24: We lose too many lives and people trying to drive
• 31:11
  Speaker 24: through low water in their vehicles.
• 31:12
  Speaker 14: He says they'll have boat teams across West Texas, and
• 31:14
  Speaker 14: DPS and the National Guard will have equipment and manpower
• 31:17
  Speaker 14: across the state. saying they know big events are scheduled
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: across Texas this week, from the state fair to college
• 31:22
  Speaker 14: football to the start of Austin City Limits this weekend.

  Speaker 14: Alan Skaia, TSN News.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: James Tallarico isn't waiting on Ken Paxton to debate the issues.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: There are open requests for Paxton to debate at Texas
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: A & M and Fox News. The Tallarico camp announced
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Monday afternoon that CNN will air a town hall with
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Tallarico from Fort Worth on October 14th. Coincidentally, that is
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the date that the MSC Wiley Lecture Series extended for
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: their debate. Burleson County Sheriff Bill Rios is hosting a
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: town hall meeting tonight in Caldwell. The Burleson County Emergency
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Management Director and Fire Chiefs from local volunteer fire departments
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: will be in attendance to answer questions. The meeting starts
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: at 6 p.m. at the Caldwell Civic Center. The meeting
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: will be streamed on the Burleson County Sheriff's Facebook page.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: A bill aimed at reshaping the college sports industry took
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a major step toward becoming law. By an overwhelming vote
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of 77 to 22, the U.S. Senate voted to pass
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the Protect College Sports Act Monday night. The bill now
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: moves to the House of Representatives, where it will face
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: opposition from both sides of the political spectrum and a
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: narrow window to garner support. Fox's Chad Pergram has more.
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: It's the most consequential bill on sports in decades. It
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: commands bipartisan support. Now, the plan lets schools spend $ 49
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: million on players, but athletes can still earn money for
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: their name, image and likeness. It also stops repeated transfers. Now,
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: President Trump.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Pushed the bill.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: He says the system was desperate.
• 32:56
  Speaker 27: The alternative is just as no good.
• 32:58
  Speaker 17: You had people leaving the NFL to play and the
• 33:01
  Speaker 17: colleges could never have afforded it.
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: The House won't consider the bill until after the midterms.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: If the bill doesn't get through the House during a
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: lame-duck legislative session before new Congress takes over in January,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: the full process would have to start from the beginning.

• 35:16
  Speaker 2: You may decide what's going on.
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: Not much.
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: How about y'all?
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: Oh, there we go.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Turn on the microphone.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: We're doing good. We're doing good.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at a page full of pictures of dogs
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: just to see who you got there today.
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: So many cuties.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: So what do we have to discuss today?
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: I mean, we have a lot of pets in the
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: shelter right now.
• 35:34
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: We really do. We are very fortunate.
• 35:37
  Speaker 29: You know, we team up with organizations in the Pacific Northwest,
• 35:41
  Speaker 29: and so we're looking to get another transfer out here
• 35:44
  Speaker 29: in the next couple weeks.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: What is that? What is the reason behind why?
• 35:49
  Speaker 29: So we have a whole formula to saving lives here
• 35:52
  Speaker 29: in the Brazos Valley. And a lot of that is
• 35:56
  Speaker 29: our low barrier adoptions and doing foster care. But a
• 35:59
  Speaker 29: critical component is transferring pets out. So we find similar
• 36:04
  Speaker 29: organizations where... You know, they have a similar ethos. So
• 36:07
  Speaker 29: they're doing spay neuter in their community. They're doing low
• 36:10
  Speaker 29: barrier adoptions. They're doing a lot of the stuff that
• 36:12
  Speaker 29: we do. So they don't see the overcrowding in their
• 36:16
  Speaker 29: shelters like we see here in Texas.
• 36:19
  Speaker 18: Really?
• 36:20
  Speaker 29: And so we try and capitalize on that and we say, hey,
• 36:23
  Speaker 29: can we send you, you know, once, you know, once
• 36:26
  Speaker 29: a month or so during the months that we can
• 36:28
  Speaker 29: get out there. You have about five months in the
• 36:30
  Speaker 29: year that we physically can't make it with snow.
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: Crazy. We don't see that here.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: You got to get over them mountains.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: It's a problem.
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 36:39
  Speaker 29: And so we are doing our last transfer of the year.
• 36:42
  Speaker 29: And where, why I bring this up is we have
• 36:45
  Speaker 29: to get these dogs out into foster care for 14
• 36:48
  Speaker 29: days prior to them leaving. So we need to get
• 36:51
  Speaker 29: everybody placed by this Friday. We have about 17 dogs
• 36:55
  Speaker 29: and puppies on the list to go to transfer and
• 36:58
  Speaker 29: And so that.
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: Means we need, you know, about 15.
• 37:01
  Speaker 29: Fosters to step up and say, yes, I can commit
• 37:03
  Speaker 29: to a dog for two weeks and I'm not going
• 37:06
  Speaker 29: to fall in love with them.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: So these are, yeah, you can't be a foster failure.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: That's actually quite difficult.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: That's quite difficult.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: But if you're looking, say you already have an animal
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and you're wondering whether or not your animal would get
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: along with another animal, maybe a good opportunity to find
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:23
  Speaker 29: Absolutely.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: You just have to know going in, these dogs are
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: headed west.
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: They are.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 37:27
  Speaker 29: And they already, a lot of them have families already
• 37:30
  Speaker 29: lined up.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 37:32
  Speaker 29: And so it's really, it's like you get to, you know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 29: you just get to babysit somebody's new best friend.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: It's a big demand for Texas mutts, I tell you what.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Well, the Texas road dog, finest dog in the planet.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I swear by that. That's amazing. That's very, very cool.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: So with that said, that's obviously not all of the
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: animals that you guys have.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: In the shelter.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 37:53
  Speaker 29: We still have a lot of other great adoptable pets.
• 37:57
  Speaker 29: And we have a lot of kittens that are almost
• 38:00
  Speaker 29: of age. And so the best way to see our
• 38:02
  Speaker 29: adoptable pets is on the website, AggielandHumane.org.
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: That gets updated in real time.
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 38:08
  Speaker 29: So you can see as pets are coming in on
• 38:11
  Speaker 29: Lost and Found. So if you lose your pet. you
• 38:14
  Speaker 29: go to AggielandHumane.org and look at our lost and found page,
• 38:17
  Speaker 29: and it will show you all of the new arrivals
• 38:20
  Speaker 29: in real time with the caveat that, of course, after hours,
• 38:25
  Speaker 29: we do not have staff there 24-7, but we will
• 38:28
  Speaker 29: publish it as soon as we.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Can the next morning. That's really cool. That's a great feature.
• 38:31
  Speaker 29: Yes, and they move pretty quickly. There's only a 72-hour
• 38:35
  Speaker 29: stray hold period. So if you lose your pet, a
• 38:38
  Speaker 29: lot of urgency. You've got to come and look at
• 38:40
  Speaker 29: the shelter. both Agulha and Tumain and go to the
• 38:42
  Speaker 29: Bryan Animal Center.
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 38:44
  Speaker 29: Because there are times where your dog or cat, they
• 38:46
  Speaker 29: don't realize that they crossed a city boundary.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: But another reminder, if you for some reason have been
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: not microchipping your animal.
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: You got to do it.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: You should probably do it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: We do microchips for just $ 25. Yeah. Anytime the shelter
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: is open.
• 39:04
  Speaker 29: So you can come down between 12 to 6 Monday
• 39:06
  Speaker 29: through Friday and 12 to 5 on Saturdays. My team
• 39:09
  Speaker 29: is happy there. to do a microchip for you. And honestly,
• 39:11
  Speaker 29: the paperwork is the most painful part.
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: But it makes all the difference in the world. Any vet,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: any animal shelter.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: They can all scan for that.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: They can scan for it and they can reunite you
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: with your animal. It is the best $ 25 you'll ever spend.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: What else do we want to.
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: Get to today?
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: We have Bark Leader.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: That's right. Did you ever figure out?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: I never figured it out.
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: Oh, no.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Will was really kind of banging his head against the
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: wall trying to make this work.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I got through the input all your information,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and I was like, where do you upload pictures? And
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find any place to upload the pictures.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: I'll have my team reach out.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Have your team reach out.
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: Lorna is one of our development.
• 39:53
  Speaker 29: And she sees the Bark Leader campaign. Shout out to you, Lorna.
• 39:58
  Speaker 29: I know her family listens. So they're like, that's my girl.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure it's pilot error on my part. But,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll get it. We'll get it.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: We got to make it happen.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I did have a conspiracy theory that you guys had
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: blocked Annie out because you knew that she was going
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: to be victorious.
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Kind of like the Dems did Bernie Sanders.
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty much.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, hell, can't let that happen. You know,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: just kind of gets a little bump to the side.
• 40:21
  Speaker 11: But yeah.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I told him that's nonsense.
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: No, yeah, no. No need for the tinfoil hat.
• 40:26
  Speaker 29: We'll get you squared away, and we'll.
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: Get you published on there.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Which one? Because I have a formal and an in-person.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: By the way, the pictures are quite positive.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the pictures I selected are great.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: If you want to get your dog involved with Bark Leader,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: just go to the website.
• 40:40
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 40:41
  Speaker 29: AggielandHumane.org. And if you run into any difficulty, just reach out.
• 40:46
  Speaker 29: Send us a call, email. You can even DM us

• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Check that out. Check that out. Tell me that's not a.
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: Princess right there.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: Have you done her DNA?
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: No.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, she's a Cheweenie.
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: She looks like she could be distant cousins to my Ruby.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: You never know, bro. You never know. You should pass
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: him the test that you used.
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Because, yeah, they will link up like, hey, this one's
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: like third cousins to your dog.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I know that there were other pups in this litter.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that all of them made it
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: out of the situation that they were in. They were
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: rescued by an individual. Right, right, right. But I just
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: know that somebody said that one should be mine. So
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: there we go.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Wonderful. Aggielandymaine.org. Thank you so much.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Also in the room today, Glenn. who was just telling
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: us a rousing tale.
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: Yes, it's all a day for animals. Well, one thing
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: I will tell that, I used to get lost quite
• 41:43
  Speaker 8: a bit until my wife microchipped me, and that has
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: helped me.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: It's been a good call.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: That's also something you can, Dave.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Well, of course, there was the controversy of her using
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the electroshock collar.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: On you, too.
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: That also helped, and she left a rabbit.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: It's not her rabbit, bro. It's not her rabbit.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Look at how he's staring. He is burning lasers through you.
• 42:03
  Speaker 26: He doesn't like you, Glenn.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I think he's got a problem with you. I still
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: say it's the positioning of the.
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: The seat, but, um, that, uh, boy, that's what a,
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: what a pretty dog.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Uh, I mean, gosh, there's some great animals. There are,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: there's some right now you go to that website. There's
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: a couple that the eyes are staring at you.
• 42:28
  Speaker 24: Yeah.
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you like, again, and we would say
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: it's every week. If you, even if you have an animal,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: like it's a great organization to get back to. Like
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: there's lots of ways you can, you can get involved.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: You can foster, you can, you do all sorts of
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: things that are, uh, I mean, it's a, they do
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: great things.
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm under the animal shelter. They could put a
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: booth at the youth, the career fair.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: But it would cause havoc.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It would be the most popular booth.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: If they could, if they brought kittens out to that,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: number one, probably a little traumatic for the kittens, you know,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: they are noise, but because they are, but yeah, the,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: this is a excellent opportunity for you to get in
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: front of the next generation.
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: Three, around 3000 eighth graders at both, both our school
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: districts and the surrounding school districts. So they're, because they
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: bus them in. It is a great opportunity. It's a
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: great opportunity for businesses that are thinking long-term to develop
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: the future employees of this area and future business owners
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: and leaders. But it's not tomorrow, but it's next Wednesday.
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: It's still free to get a booth there. I think
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: we have over 50 there. We've had 75 before. So
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: if your business, if you can spare six hours just
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: to get out there, get behind a booth, it goes fast,
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: I promise you that, because they're wave after wave. They're
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: just going to want to know, what do you do?
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: Do you have fun? Do you like it? If I
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: wanted to do that, what should I do? What classes
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: should I take? How do I get there? Or in radio,
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: you can tell them you're ready to go.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking to myself, we didn't have this
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and look how I turned out.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: So this is very important.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: This is why I don't do it. Any other booth, kids.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Literally any other booth. Maybe I love what I do,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: but any other booth.
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: I stole that from Nate Bargetzi because he was saying
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: he was talking to elementary school kids and they go,
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: what do I need to do to be a comedian?
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I think you're there right now.
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: Go ahead and graduate elementary school to make your parents
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: happy and then start doing gigs.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Hit the road, yeah.
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: But that's not what we tell our kids, so don't
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: worry about that. But come out there, free to attend.

  Speaker 18: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 48:00
  Speaker 31: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on

• 48:08
  Speaker 31: said the trans community needs abortion care too, and even
• 48:12
  Speaker 31: called Jesus a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 48:17
  Speaker 18: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: But it gets worse.
• 48:22
  Speaker 31: James Tallarico voted to allow biological men access to women's
• 48:26
  Speaker 31: bathrooms in schools and for biological boys to play in
• 48:29
  Speaker 31: girls' sports, saying some things are more important than fair
• 48:33
  Speaker 31: competition in sports.
• 48:35
  Speaker 18: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.

  Speaker 1: keep an eye on the weather.

  Speaker 2: All my all my pals out in San Antonio are
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: because it doesn't take a lot of rain there.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: No, not at all. And yeah.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: So if you're going to be heading west, you know,
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: keep that in mind. But today, yeah, pretty much same
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: as usual. Maybe get a pop up in the afternoon.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Weather's brought to you by United Roofing and Sheet Metal,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: home of the Duralast Roof System, the world's best roof.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: You can call 268 Roof or go to UnitedRoofingPros.com. Earlier
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: in the show today, we were talking about unpopular opinions,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: and someone texted me and was like, hey, how do
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: you know that Will's not liking musicals is the unpopular opinion?
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: You just like musicals. And I was like, well, you
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: know what? That's very fair. Maybe musicals, liking musicals is
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: the unpopular opinion. Who knows? But as long as we're
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: talking unpopular opinions, someone just dropped a monster on us
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: on the text messages. I wanted to share it with you.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Will and Tucker. I would like to get your opinion
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: on the Beatles.
• 51:40
  Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so... Sticky subject for a lot of folks.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: It's shockingly divisive.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I will lay down my opinion on this, okay? The
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Beatles were a fantastic band of.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: That hit at the right place at the right time.
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: And without them, I question whether or not music would
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: be what it is today.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: That is the problem, is you can't really extract them
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: because all the guys after the Beatles really like the Beatles.
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Then all the guys after them really like the guys
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: that like the Beatles and so on and so forth
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: until 2026. Now, do I reach for the Beatles album.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Do I search my music services for the Beatles? Do
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I listen to the Beatles?
• 52:28
  Speaker 12: No.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: But again, we mentioned it on the show the other day,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: my musical upbringing was limited. Shocking that I'm kind of
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: the music file I am today.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is very strange.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Because there were four albums in my house, and the
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour was the rockinest one of them all.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: To go along with Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: and I think two albums from the Kingston Trio.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: By the way, my wife detests the Beatles.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Real talk. Will not listen to the Beatles. Will not
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: consume any Beatles content. Despises the Beatles.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: And again, I.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite videos of music that I've ever seen.
• 53:10
  Speaker 26: Hmm.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Was Paul McCartney doing something in the way she moves.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: We need to share that, because I would consider, if
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: you're one of those people that's not into the Beatles,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: this particular video, I think, will warm your heart.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: It does.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: At least a little bit. I'm not saying it's going
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: to grow ten sides.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: It's a great musical event. It includes people like Jeff
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Lynne and Eric Clapton. Of course, Ringo is there. Many,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: many others that you would recognize. But it is a
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: beautifully layered show. of something in the way she moves
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: that starts with Paul and a ukulele and ends in
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: full orchestral and choir, and it is just a powerful
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: piece of music.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: And I will give credit where credit is due. I
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: don't know if you went to Vegas when they had
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: the Beatles thing live. I saw that show multiple times.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: That almost got me to the point where I was like, oh, okay,
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of in. I could kind of be convinced,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: but yeah, generally, no.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: It's just we've had other music since then, man. If
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: I grew up in the 60s, I'm sure I'd love them.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I'd love them.
• 54:13
  Speaker 8: Maybe.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, there were a lot of people in the
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: 60s that didn't.
• 54:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: You know, they gravitated other directions.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, look, a reply to that comment. Tucker, your wife
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: sounds like the most intelligent person in your world.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: May I answer? May I answer?
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: Let me.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Rain is likely the most intelligent person in any room
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: she walks into, number one.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a certified genius.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: That is outside of whether or not she likes the Beatles.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: You know what? They are not mutually exclusive.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: No, no. Not, not, no. But again, if you're looking
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: for someone... who is incredibly intelligent that hates the Beatles,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: I can absolutely find you that person. Won't take much
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: time at all.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: She won't even sing along with a little Hey Jude
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Not a dude hate, I'm telling you. There's not a
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: single thing that the Beatles did that she will even tolerate.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, garbage.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to share that Paul McCartney video later
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: just because it's one of the top three music videos
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. It's a whole experience. Guys, have
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: a great Tuesday. We'll see you back on the radio tomorrow.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: We're 1620, 94.5 WTN.
