• 0:21
  Speaker 1: after passing out inside a College Station movie theater. CSPD
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: was called to Cinemark and the 1400 block of Earl
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Rudder Freeway shortly after 8 o'clock Friday morning. An employee
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: reported finding 27-year-old Carlos Aquila Meja passed out inside the theater.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Officers found the man shoeless, showing obvious signs of intoxication
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: with several empty cans of an alcoholic beverage nearby. Aquila
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Meja was arrested and charged with public intoxication, theft under $ 100,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and failure to identify. He is being held on an
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: ICE detainer. A driver who fell asleep behind the wheel
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: ended up crashing his car outside Navasota City Hall Friday morning.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Navasota police say they received reports of the crash just
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: before 2 a.m. Dispatchers were able to view cameras positioned
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: on City Hall to see the truck on its side
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and east lawn. The driver sustained minor injuries. He told
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: police he was traveling southbound on Business 6 when he
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: fell asleep. His truck struck a curb at Washington and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: LaSalle where he lost control of the vehicle. Investigators say
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: there were no signs of intoxication. Fatigue and speed were
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: cited as contributing factors in the crash. A Tarleton State
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: University rodeo athlete was killed during competition. Alejandra Ale Franco,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a sophomore at Tarleton, was competing in breakaway roping Thursday
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: night at a rodeo at Sul Ross University in Alpine.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Witnesses say her horse went out of control and Franco fell.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The Tarleton State rodeo team announced Franco's death Friday on Instagram.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Officials have not released details about Franco's injuries. Bluebell is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: being sued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit against the Brenham-based company on behalf of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a man who they say was unlawfully terminated after requesting
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a religious accommodation. The Jewish man was a body shop
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: technician at Bluebell's production facility in Alabama. The suit alleges
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that Bluebell fired the man in March 2025, less than
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a month after refusing to shave his beard because of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: his religious beliefs. Bluebell claims the employee was fired over
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a timekeeping violation, while the EEOC claims it was retaliation
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and religious discrimination. The lawsuit also claims the supervisor questioned
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the sincerity of the worker's religious beliefs on multiple occasions.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: An attorney for the EEOC says they will continue to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: firmly enforce federal protections for religious freedoms. There's dismay after
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the state's top court ruled against a woman on Texas
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: death row.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: By a 5-4 ruling, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: rejected the Cameron County Trial Court's recommendation that Melissa Lucia
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: was actually innocent. In 2008, Lucio was convicted of killing
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: her two-year-old daughter and sentenced to die. Lucio's attorney, Vanessa Potkin,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: calls the court's ruling stunning and says new evidence has
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: proven Lucio's daughter died as a result of an accidental fall.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The prosecutor's office itself conceded that there had been prosecutorial
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: misconduct at her trial and agreed that her conviction should
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: be overturned.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Potkin says she plans to appeal to a federal court.

• 4:28
  Speaker 4: 979-695-1620 is our phone number. You're familiar with a game
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: called Fortnite?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I'm familiar with it, yes.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Fortnite, one of the biggest video games in the last
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: five years, easily. I mean, crazy popular game. We have
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: a new world record holder for Fortnite. The oldest Fortnite
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: player in the world. GrumpyGran1948. Wow. She is a 78-year-old
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Scottish grandmother who is the oldest female Fortnite streamer.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I walked into my teenage grandson's bedroom and just saw
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: him playing what I now know, of course, what I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: play is Fortnite.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: And that was the very first week that Epic had
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: released it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And it was just really love at first sight.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I can tell you why she's into this game. She's
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: getting to whoop up on a bunch of kids.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: She is.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: There is nothing more fun in this world than, yeah,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: finding a game that like your kids love or that
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: like in my case, his nieces and nephews love and just,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: just beating them senseless at it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: It's the best. I didn't bridge the gap between my
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: end of video game playing days and the days when
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: my kids would have taken them up. My kids don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: play video games. Oh, man.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, no. Yeah, you're missing on one of the real
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: pleasures in life, my dude.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I did live vicariously a little bit through my good
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: friend Chance, his son, who's now a Marine stationed in Japan.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, Gavin, Gavin, great, great young kid. He, and, and, uh,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: some of his friends, I don't think it was fortnight.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I think they were playing one of the shooter games
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: tour duty or tour.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: They're all, they're all kill someone.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It may have been, it may have been fortnight or whatever,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: but they did the whole thing where you get online
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and you play others, but their favorite game amongst that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was to, um, entice, uh, people with, with an ill will, uh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: people who they were hunting predators, uh, and they would
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: entice them, and then they would roast them by saying
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: things along the lines, you know, we'll find you in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: your mama's basement, and things like that. Holy cow! They
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: would absolutely torch them.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Wow, that got dark fast.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It got real dark.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Goodness.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: They would turn about fair play and tell them that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: police were on the way and the whole bit, but
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: they would bait them into it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Don't hate that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: No.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, though. Like, I've got, at this point,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I've got a lot of nieces and nephews, and so
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: what I will do is as many times as I
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: can during holiday gatherings, family gatherings, summer get-togethers, whatever, they
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: always bring their video games. It's just what they do.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: And then I will just.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: punish them now do you do you know what they're
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: bringing in advance so you can brush up on some things.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah i've been surprised a few times but generally i
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: know and if you're if you're someone like do you
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: have you ever you guys ever actually beat your kids
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: at video games what games can you beat them at.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: If a kid walked up with like a tecmo bowl i'd.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Score yeah oh well if a kid walked up golden
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: eye you know golden eye it'd be over nine seven
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: nine six nine five sixteen twenty what i find my
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: best options are for this is mario kart okay They
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: never see that coming. Super Smash Brothers, they also never
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: see that coming. But like, yeah, I'll show up and
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: I'll throw down. And no mercy.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: What about Defender? I could take a kid out in Defender.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: My siblings and my in-laws, a little bit, they're like,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: why don't you let him win? Why would I let
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: him win?
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: No.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Why would I ever do that?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You're not the type of adult that everybody gets a trophy. No,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you're not that guy.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: The teenage boys like Madden more than anything. They're athletes
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: playing a little bit of Madden, and that's their biggest
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: weakness is because, again, I was raised on that. Y'all
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: are new to the party. Y'all aren't going to stop
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: me at that. I'm going to run up the score

• 8:30
  Speaker 4: they always like, they always like play the horns for

• 8:34
  Speaker 4: don't think they're going to Texas, but yeah, and it's not,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I don't see them getting in, but like, yeah, they'll,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: they'll show up in Texas. I'll pick a, I'll pick
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: a team from like division two. I'll go as far
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: down as I can. I'll light them up with that.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You would play them against the, you know, with the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Washtenaw Baptist university Tigers. Absolutely.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I take them with Washtenaw Baptist. I'll get, give me points.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I need, that's the next stage for this. I need
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: to figure out a way.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Now you're going to teach them how to gamble after
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you have to teach them how to, how to take
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a loss. You're going to teach them how to gamble.

  Speaker 14: 1620-945-WTAW.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Infomaniacs, good morning.
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: 979-695-1620.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about the hot topic on the internet this morning,
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: and that is whether or not turn signals are really effective.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: as necessary as we believe.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: On Friday, as I was trying to make my way
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: on one of the two trips I made to our
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: area landfill, I did notice somebody in front of me
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that changed lanes, then moved, changed lanes once, then moved
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: into a turn lane, pulling into a strip of area businesses.
• 11:32
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: They made their turn, and then they put on their
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: turn signal. See, this is the thing.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: They made the turn, and then they put on their
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: turn signal. That was one day.
• 11:40
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: It was like an apology turn signal.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I guess. 87% of people say, everyone, all caps, by
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: the way, everyone needs to use them always, all caps, 87%.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: And you need to use them before. They are an indicator.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: That's what you call them, an indicator of what you're
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: about to do. Turning them on after the fact does nothing.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Here's what gets confusing about this, and this is where
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I turn to you. 10%, the next highest, value you
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: could get. Always use them except where your intentions are clear.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: That assumes that other people are smart enough to read
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: your intentions.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: That's my question. What situations would you be in where
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: your intentions are clear?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that I feel like that if
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to read every other driver's intentions, that their
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: intentions are to mess up and hit me. So that's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the way I take to the roads every day.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's the safe thing to assume.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: So are there ever any opportunities that you have to
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: not use a turn signal?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: If you're in a pasture. That's my thing.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: It's like, wait, I can't think of one.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, if there's, look.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: I've done serious, I've struggled in coming to think of one.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I come to work at 3 a.m.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: There's no one in front of you. There's no one
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: behind you.
• 13:06
  Speaker 10: No.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: But if I can see a headlight anywhere in front
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: or behind me, I'm using the turn signal.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: That's, I guess that would be, I'll give you that.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: If you're on a long and lonely road and you
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: look around and there's nothing else there, then who cares?
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I would say use them anyway because it keeps you in.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: The habit, but like whatever. They call them indicators for
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a reason. So if you need to indicate to somebody
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: else what you're going to be doing.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: But yeah, what would the other situation be?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Luke says you're in a left turn only lane. No,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that's a chicken lane to a lot of people, Luke.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: You don't know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: You just don't know. Jennifer, my mom was pulled over
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: for not using a left turn signal in a left-hand
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: turn lane only. So again, debunking that theory. Debunking it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Even in that, you must hit them with the turn signal.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: You gotta use it. Before. Before you make your move.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: If anyone else has any situations that you think might qualify,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: please text them to us and we'll see what we
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: can find out. By the way, back to the video
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: game thing. Amanda says, I will devastate some kids on
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Frogger and Centipede.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: And I can also ruin them in Tetris.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Amanda, you pull out some Pong. I'm going to kill
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: these kids.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I think Will could still beat anyone on the planet
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: in Pong, and I definitely would say Goldeneye.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Goldeneye, give me some warm-up. It's been... Let me see.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I got rid of that video game in 1998, so
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it's been almost.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: For a long time.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: You got rid of it in 98. You quit too soon, man.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: You quit way too soon.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I did quit way too soon. But I was moving on.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I was graduating finally from college. I was moving to Austin.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I had a real job. And I was like, it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: time for me to be an adult.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: As soon as you got a real job, you put
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: it away.
• 14:52
  Speaker 14: I did.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Dude, I still got a Nintendo Switch. I'll sit in
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: bed and still play the Nintendo Switch when I kill
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: a little time. And my wife will side-eye me every
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: single time. But you know what? Life is hard. Life
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: is hard. Play some video games.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I've got to set an example. I try to put
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: away any screen. Yeah. The wife already has to have
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the TV on for her to go to sleep. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I made that concession in our marriage. But I try
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to set the example of when you get into bed,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: there's only a couple of things you should be crawling
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in there to do. You need to shut off the phone.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Did you see that people are trying to quit vapes
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: through a new method? I did see this. So follow
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: me on this, guys. And we all know that if
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: you go back in time, cigarettes were something that everyone
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: was trying to quit right right well then they they
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: said that these these like e-cigs were a great way
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: to do it less harmful whatever uh but as it
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: turns out that doesn't help you all that much no
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: you just get addicted to the new thing.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Trading one for the other so what's.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: The solution if you need to quit your vape habits.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Well all the socials like the ticky tacky the reddit
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and the instagram are filled with people that are saying
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: E-cigarette users should start smoking traditional cigarettes as a method
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to quit vaping.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Just go right back to the cigarettes.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Just get those lung darts out. You probably have a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: pack left over from a bad bar night.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Here's the reason. Here's what they're thinking. People are saying
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: that smoking is so unpleasant. It's so unpleasant. That they
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: hate having to do it. And so that way, you
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: make it really hard on yourself and thusly cut down
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: your nicotine consumption.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: And then if you can do that, and then again,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: deal with all the smoke in your clothes and hair
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: and like a walking ashtray, then eventually you can... Quit.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Makes it that much easier.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, there's there's no easy way to quit.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: There is no way to quit. There's no easy way
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to quit anything that you like. I get that.
• 16:47
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But what they're saying is that if you have to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: go outside, you have to strap on some footwear.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Put on a little bit of clothing and step outside
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: in the neighborhood.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And it's rainy. It's cold. It's hot. Whatever. You're going
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: to be uncomfortable. You've got to put effort into going
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and smoking a long dart. Right, which is what you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: had to do back in the day. If it was
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: cold outside, you had to freeze. That's right. And they're
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: also saying that they're going to get sick of the smell.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I actually have a friend of mine who quit cigar
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: smoking because he was so sick of the way he smelled.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: So they're saying that there's more motivation to quit cigarettes
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: than there is vaping. So they're going to switch back.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: To the cancer sticks.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: It's going to be big. What is old is new again.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: By the way, there is a new trend called Sigfluencers.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Have you seen this?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I have not seen this.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: These are famous people that are picking up smoking because
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: it makes them look retro, like the kid from The Bear.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: What's Jeremy Allen?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I watched one episode and decided I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: didn't like it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: The goofy-looking kid from The Bear. He is frequently photographed
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: holding a cigarette. Again, that's an old-timey vibe. So maybe
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: that's the thing.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're not that I watched them, but apparently at
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the VMAs last night where Madonna was all over the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: stage for some incredibly insane reason.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: I saw that Madonna was like the top. It was
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Madonna and Taylor Swift. Madonna should not be winning VMAs anymore, y'all.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you? Not even for worst plastic surgery.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: What does that tell you about that show?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Apparently one of those things, the vignettes that she did
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: had some other performer popping out of a bathroom stall
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: smoking a cigarette.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: This is what we're talking about. This is the problem
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: we face. Text messages at 979-695-1620 this morning. Christine Mullen,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: going back to the.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Turn signal issue, she.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Says she loves when they hit the brakes before turning.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: On their turn signal. Oh, Christine, I'm so with you, Christine.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: That is defined as a late turn signal. Not quite
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: as bad as what Will saw, which is like you're
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: halfway down the other road and you're like.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: No, they were all the way down the other road.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Shelly, the best advice you can give is to drive
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: like everyone else is an idiot. You will rarely be
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: proven wrong. I cannot deny it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I learned this when I got on a motorcycle and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I bought a motorcycle. You will drive like everybody else
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: on the road is an idiot.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Is actively trying to end your life. You will probably
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: be right most of the time. I'll be back right
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: after this.
• 19:15
  Speaker 16: This is Today in Texas History, brought to you by
• 19:17
  Speaker 16: the Museum of the American G.I.
• 19:20
  Speaker 14: On this day, September the 28th in 1917, author Elizabeth
• 19:25
  Speaker 14: Scott Neblett died in Anderson, Texas. Lizzie, born in Mississippi
• 19:30
  Speaker 14: in 1833, grew up a southern belle in Grimes County
• 19:35
  Speaker 14: and married William H.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Neblett, a planner and attorney.
• 19:40
  Speaker 14: From 1852 until 1863, She kept a diary that revealed
• 19:46
  Speaker 14: an intimate portrait of Southern culture and her own bitterness.
• 19:50
  Speaker 14: about a woman's place in society. Fame can never be mine,
• 19:54
  Speaker 14: she wrote. I am a woman, a woman. Her letters
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: to her husband during the Civil War discussed various topics
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: that ranged from the economics of their plantation.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: To the use of artificial birth control.
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: They had six children, and often Lizzie's writings addressed the
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: hardships of childbirth and child rearing. Her journal and letters
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: were finally published in 2001. I bet you didn't know that.
• 20:23
  Speaker 16: That was Today in Texas History, brought to you by

  Speaker 4: 1620-945-WTAW. Mike texted and he's glad someone called attention to
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: the Madonna bad plastic surgery because it was really something
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: to behold last night. Yeah, I didn't watch it, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I did read a recap that they basically had her
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: open up the VMAs with, again, that. Sabrina Carpenter, right? Oh,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: it's the young pop star and then Madonna. Dog, they
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: did that bit 30 years ago with Christine Aguilera and
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Britney Spears. They've done it since then. When are they
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: going to end this show? Like, it doesn't make any sense.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: When are they going to end that network?
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: There's not even music on it. There's not music videos
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: on it anymore. It used to be that was kind
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: of a big part of being a performer. You had
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: to come up with a music video to market your song.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It was huge, yeah.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Now no one does them anymore. No one even does them.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Madonna won like eight and then Taylor Swift won like
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: eight or something.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: How can Madonna be relevant?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: It was hosted by Snoop Dogg. You know, we've gotten
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: I don't I have no idea. And again, it's possible
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I'm so old at this point that I missed a
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: point of cultural relevance, but I don't think I did. Because,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, she ended up at the World Cups. Maybe
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: she has some things she's doing. I don't know.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Got good management, I guess.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I guess. Maybe they don't have anyone else that will
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: agree to the booking.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe she's seen the resurgence in the popularity of Michael Jackson.
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: And she's thinking, I got to get back. The retro
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: is coming back.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I hate to tell you this, girl. There's only one
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: way to get that resurgence. And it's not good.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: No.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: You got to. You've got to pass away to get
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: that second, that afterlife.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: And it will happen. Madonna will at some point kick
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: the bucket and hope.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: That's many years down the road. I bet that we're
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: going to see a resurgence. We kind of saw a
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: resurgence of, and again from the stiffs category, from Prince.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But we've seen some resurgence when it comes to some
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: of those bands from that era.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm telling you. You see it after the...
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: There's one thing in common about all these cats, dude.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: No, Billy Idol's back.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, Billy Idol is back. He's still alive.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Should be dead.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's still alive.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Might have died several times.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Weather today, 95 for your high down to the upper

  Speaker 4: 70s tonight. The chance of rain picks up, by the way,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: on Wednesday. Once you get to Wednesday, it's pretty much
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: really good chances of rain for about a week, which
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: is fantastic. And yes, it will cool us down quite
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: a bit from what we're seeing right now. Might even
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: feel a little bit fall-like. We'll find out. Weather... is

  Speaker 18: I'm Nicole Murray with your Money Now. Hundreds of flights
• 24:44
  Speaker 18: in the Northeast were delayed or canceled yesterday as the
• 24:47

• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I found, have to, at all costs.
• 25:08

• 25:10
  Speaker 18: Avengers Endgame came in at number one at this weekend's

  Speaker 19: AI could end humanity. Unless we pass a law requiring

  Speaker 19: Route around the damage. Knock out one path and the

• 27:13
  Speaker 18: Sure.
• 27:13
  Speaker 19: Iran did it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: So did Egypt.

  Speaker 19: But shut down the entire internet worldwide?

  Speaker 1: Nobody can.
• 27:18
  Speaker 19: And if somebody could, your bank, hospital, and power company

  Speaker 19: would go dark with it. Now here's the part the

• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Pretty much.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is it. This is our best chance of
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: getting some showers, and it's going to last a week.
• 37:04

• 37:21
  Speaker 4: I know we've done a lot. I feel like we've
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: done a lot of complaining on the show.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: You started the show by complaining about the fact we
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: were going to do a lot of complaining.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: We got a lot of grievances today.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: The airing of the grievances.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: I'd like to balance that out. You had a nice
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: little customer service interaction.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Just a few minutes ago.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Just moments ago, Will.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: When I discovered the over-full dumpster on Friday at my Airbnb...
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: First call I made was to Bags, the people who
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: are responsible for my dumpster service. And they could not
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: get out there.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Late notice.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: It was late notice on a Friday. They tried. They
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: legitimately tried. And then they said, we'll come pick you
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: up an extra on Monday. The earliest we'll be able
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: to do it. But they did call this morning, try
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: to coordinate it. I was able to inform them that
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: my daughter and I hand offloaded the dumpster Because we
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: didn't have a choice.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: So no longer critical mass.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: It's not critical. It's full. But it's no longer double stacked,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: another dumpster high on top of it. A remarkable feat
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: of engineering.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know what to say other than I did
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: not know. It's a miracle the college students could get
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: that much trash on top of more trash. They're usually
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: not that tall.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Were you just lucky throwing it?
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 38:35
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But at any rate, she was so sweet,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and she said, I listened to you on the way
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: in every morning.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: And they took care of it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: That's a beautiful thing.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I love my service for garbage out there in the country.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: I also love hearing your shout-outs because, again, it's so
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: common to talk about when things go wrong. We don't
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: usually get to talk about a lot of time when
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: things go right.
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: And if you want to participate and you want to
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: throw a few more of them in, if you've got
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: someone that really deserves a shout-out for going above and
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: beyond over the last weekend, you want to give them
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: a little pat on the back. Tell us about it.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Shoot us a text, 979-695-1620. Hopefully we'll be able to
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: read some of those to balance out the gripes because
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: the gripes have been numerous this show.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: They have been.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: I like to run a balanced ship. Did you see
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: the top shows of the 21st century?
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: List? I did see the top shows of the 21st
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: century list.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Here's what I want to do. All I'm going to
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: tell you is the number one show. The number one
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: show was Breaking Bad. And again, 21st century, which means
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: the greatest show since the year 2000. Breaking Bad, the
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: greatest show of time since the year 2000. How do
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: you feel about that?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Not top of my list. Good? Absolutely not number one.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Now, what show would you put as the number one?
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: The greatest show? The best television show that's taken place
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: in the 2000s?
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: It's a tough question. There are some on the list
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: that I would rank pretty high. The Office?
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: The Office is the American Office, I presume? Yeah.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: The American Office is ranked in the top 15.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: It's hard to not put. the office on there because
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: of the amount that people watch it over and over
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: and over. I don't know anyone that sits there and
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: puts Breaking Bad on.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I've never done it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Probably because it would be the most depressing way to
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: spend time ever. But like, I, I can't quite wrap
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: my head around that being. Mad Men was on there.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Mad Men came in at number three, and I loved
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Mad Men. Occasionally, we'll go back and watch it.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Mad Men is one that I think might get it done.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: There was a couple down toward the bottom of the list,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: ranked at number 97, which.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Is still top 100.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Community was one of my favorites. Parks and Rec is
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: ranked at number 50.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: Also very strong.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Hacks, which I love, at number 42. Had we gotten
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: another couple of seasons of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel... Maisel's great.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: I would have put that up there. That one's not
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: even on the list.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you're going to have it on
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: because I don't have the full 100 in front of me.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: I don't either. 90 Day Fiancé, where did it fall?
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: It's not on the list that I have, thank God.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: That is a crime. 90 Day Fiancé is not in.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: The top 100. You cannot put shows like 90 Day
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Fiancé on the greatest shows of all time. You can
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: put them on the greatest guilty pleasure list. Shows, the
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: shows that I like to watch people's lives who are
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: worse than mine.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: The reason I like the single out 90 day fiance
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: is because, yes, it is a guilty pleasure. But the premise,
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: the premise is wonderful. It sets you up in a
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: way that no other shows do, because there's no way
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: any of these marriages are going to even make it.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: Most of them don't even make it. No, they don't
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: even get to the ceremony because it's insane.
• 41:57
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Because the premise is insane.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: It's crazy people. It's like, it's like, it's like watching people.
• 42:04
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Because similarly, Will, similarly, I think that you do have
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: to give them some points because 90 Day Fiancé has
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: spawned more spinoffs. That basically is TLC at this point.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Pretty much.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: The entire network is a year-long rotation.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: They got off the house rehab shows and moved it
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: over to that.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Occasionally they do. They focus on little people to give
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: you a palate.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: Little people and polygamists to give you a palate cleanser.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Nothing cleanses the palate like little people and polygamists.
• 42:32
  Speaker 9: No, no, no.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: But really what you're going for, what pays the bills,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: is 90 Day Fiancé. And because of that, and that alone,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: I think, I'm not saying you've got to put them
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: top 25 even, but I think they belong on the list.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I think they belong in a separate category. But yeah,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. I used to watch the
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: 90 Day Fiancé and maybe... A couple of the before
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: the 90 days.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: Before the 90 days. Yeah. Before the 90 days.
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: 90 day reunion. 90 days after the 90 days.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I just I got tired of watching idiots. People,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: people who have something wrong with them. Well, sometimes by their.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Fault, sometimes it's necessary. Sometimes it's just critical.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Watching that is so cringe, man. It is so cringe.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Jay would like to know where True Detective... Oh, the
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: first True Detective. See, that's what's going to hose True Detectives, Jay,
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: is the difference between... there have been four seasons of
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: that show and three of them are abysmal. And then
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: the one was like the best season of television that
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: anyone came up with in probably 25 years. If it
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: was just the best seasons, true detective season one is
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: at the top of the list for best seasons of tell.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: I fight me on that.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I'm with you there.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: But the problem is when you have that one good
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: season and then take it directly into the toilet, never
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: to emerge again, it's hard to, It's just hard to
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: make that case.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: And the sample size says no. I mean, three-quarters of
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: your work is not up to par. Yeah, yeah. So
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: The Wire was on here. We mentioned Mad.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Men, Succession. You know, I've never seen an episode of
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: The Wire.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: The Wire's pretty good.
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: I've never in my life seen a show like that.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: And The Wire, essentially, like those actors and creators and writers,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: eventually did a lot of really great other things.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, they did.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: That was kind of built off of The Wire.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: It's like the Saban coaching tree, only with television.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Very much.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: All those dudes got in.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Succession, Fleabag. The GOT is there. Veep. 30 Rock. Curb
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Your Enthusiasm, which I think is phenomenal.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Atlanta, which I've never watched.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: Never seen Atlanta.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: We mentioned The Office. Arrested Development. Girls? What is Girls?
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: Oh, Girls.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: You didn't miss much, Will. Yeah, it's like Sex and
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: the City for generations of you.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Millennials or something.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It came and went.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights. I'll put that up there.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: Man, that's hard to not.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: And it's six feet under, which I did watch that
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: show in its entirety when it came out.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Noticeable snubs, I thought. Obviously, Yellowstone, you would think that.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Would be so wrong. Not a single Sheridan show.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: I would think, honestly, Landman would be one that's on
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: the list.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I love the Landman.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: If you've got any that you want to add, you
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: can text us, 979-695-1620. When do we get a new
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: season of Landman? I was told it's not even until
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: like the middle of 27.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Probably not.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: They're going into that system where it's like every three
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: years we're going to give you a couple of new apps.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's probably, I'm going to guess that this
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: season may be like the harbinger of the downhill slide
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: that- Tends to be the trajectory.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: For Sharon Schultz. Yeah, you've got like a five-year window.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: His attention span, just not that good.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: What a shame. All right, back after this.
• 45:30

• 48:30
  Speaker 4: They're so good.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: The work that you've done on this has been young
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: men's work. And these videos are now out on our
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel and you can check them out. You always say, hey,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you know, people aren't informed voters. Well, here we're putting
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: it in your lap.
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: 30 minute conversations with these guys like you want to
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: hear Scott talk to Bobby Ancy for 30 minutes about
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: about everything, like literally everything you can think of related
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: to the city.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Do it.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: Elizabeth Kuna, same thing. Bobby Gutierrez on the Brian side,
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Raphael Pena on Brian's side. They're both in there. And also,
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: you know, some candidates that you have never heard from.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: There's a libertarian running for state house in 14, I think.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: And I honestly never, you get a 30 minute conversation
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: about what a libertarian is, what the state of the
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: libertarian party is, how they navigate the, it's fascinating stuff.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: And yeah, you can't say you're not informed after listening
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: to a few. I highly recommend them. WTAW.com. We have
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: a link there, like Will said, on our YouTube page.
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: I believe you can get the audio on Spotify, even
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: if you.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Want to do that. I think so, yeah. There's a
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: lot of different ways for you to digest this.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: I want to give you the most confusing thing that
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: I've read today, and it's the best smelling cities list.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think you have this.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I don't have this.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, so again, I'm just going to work through this
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: And maybe we can find some answers. I think they
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: kept it to the major metropolitan areas. That's the only
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: thing I can assume, because, again, the best smelling cities
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: in America. Number one was Boston. I OK, but the
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: only time I've been offended by the smell of it was.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: In 80s and there was a garbage strike going on.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: So it was number two, Washington, D.C., That is a lie.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: That is a lie, son. Number three. San Francisco. On
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: the best smelling list.
• 50:22
  Speaker 21: Well.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: No, Will.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: There are parts of San Francisco that might smell all right.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: But the G or Della plant or whatever it is.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't claim a major city like that has
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: a great smell because there are parts in it that
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I can assure you don't have a good stink.
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: It is not. I would say on average, San Francisco
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: is one of the worst smelling cities I've been to
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: in the United States of America.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: The worst. And yeah, you're right. You can get to
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: some nice parts of it, maybe up in the hills
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: where Where the money is. The filth is not. Then maybe.
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: But dude, it's a problem. Seattle, number four.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: It smells like weed if you like the smell of weed.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia, y'all. These cities all smell worse than say When
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: I was in Radio Northwest Arkansas, Fayetteville came out with
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: a new city slogan. And I can't remember what it was,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: but we put it out to our listeners. What would
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: you use for the new city slogan? And what we
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: came up with for Fayetteville was, Fayetteville, that smell is Springdale,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: where the chicken plants were. And for Springdale, we came
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: up with America's only scratch and sniff community.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: It is. It's a real problem, man. It's a real problem.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: Also on the list, Detroit at number nine, Baltimore at
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: number eight, Vegas made the top 10 of best smelling.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Does Vegas even have a smell?
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Because I don't recall when I went to Vegas the
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: last time I went to Vegas, it was too hot
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: to smell anything. Oh, no.
• 52:01
  Speaker 21: Okay.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: So first of all, when you're talking about the smell
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: of Vegas.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was the fact that I never went outside.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: You need, that's the, okay.
• 52:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: I don't count the casinos. The casinos are sealed environments.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Artificial.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: And they have their own scent that you can actually
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: order them online. Like if you walk into the wind, oh,
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: it smells so nice in here. You can get the
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: wind scent that will give you that smell in your house.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: I would highly recommend finding the Mirage R.I.P. That is
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: the best smell there ever was in Vegas.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: It did not have a hint of desperation in it?
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: No, it does. That's why it's the greatest scent in Vegas.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: That's the reason you like it.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: The thing, though, is Vegas is what is outside those casinos.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: And that is something that you just don't... Remember you
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: were talking about the dumpster?
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: The dumpster where it's like it's alcohol from baking in
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: the sun.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: In plastic.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: Half empty cans. That's the smell of Vegas. And before
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: I can make this a Texas thing, Houston ain't great either.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I just don't know that if I
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: have to put a major American city on the best
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: smelling list, the fact that Detroit, Vegas, and San Francisco
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: are on there, that is made up. I don't know
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: what they were tracking, but that is completely fraudulent.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I'd put Dallas-Fort Worth on that list.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: Dallas is not a bad smelling city. No.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know why.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: I think it's because it's so spread out.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You got enough barbecue places there that there's no.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Real place for anything to gather to become really offensively
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: gross right i'd say austin also well again terrible smell
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: atlanta not bad.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Smelling city but austin vegas seattle portland they all have
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: a similar herbal scent to them.
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: That is that is the most common thing you will
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: smell in the city at this point every one of
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: those cities it's just From where?
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: From everywhere.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: From literally everywhere, guys. This is how they do it.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: So what Texas city would you say?
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say if it's Texas best smelling. I
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: was going to say San Antonio because it has my heart,
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: but I can't do that because some of San Antonio
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: is just a problem. Specifically the Riverwalk, specifically in the summer.
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: I hate to give things. I hate to give love
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: to Dallas.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Dallas-Fort Worth, I'd put up there.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: Dallas-Fort Worth. I don't think we would qualify that list
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: because I think we're too small. I think they're counting
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: major metros.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but for our Texas list only, I would count us.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: I breathe real clean here in Bryan College.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: It used to be the best smelling place in all
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: of Texas was Snook. When they had the kolache place there.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: Man, you're not lying.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Lockhart. Lockhart. A fantastic.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: Suggestion.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Not Dalhart. Not Dalhart.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: See y'all tomorrow. We're 1620, 94.5 WTAW College Station, Bryan.
