Speaker 4: I've got to say thank you for that. So let's
4:17
Speaker 4: go through the basics. I need to know about why
4:21
Speaker 4: is Dansby here and what can people do about that?
4:26
Speaker 5: So Dansby is here. He got returned at no fault
4:30
Speaker 5: of his own.
4:31
Speaker 4: I bet I can tell. Now, you'll correct me if
4:33
Speaker 4: I'm wrong. I'm going to guess someone got him because
4:36
Speaker 4: he's super cute. which he is. We'll post some videos later.
4:39
Speaker 4: He's super cute, but they just didn't realize that Dansby
4:42
Speaker 4: probably likes to run and play a lot.
4:44
Speaker 6: Or no.
4:45
Speaker 7: No.
4:45
Speaker 1: No?
4:46
Speaker 5: They just weren't ready to commit for a big dog.
4:50
Speaker 5: They just weren't ready. They had lost a dog of
4:54
Speaker 5: their own, and they just were not ready to commit.
4:56
Speaker 1: I get that. I understand.
4:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, time's got to be right. So tell me about Dansby.
5:00
Speaker 4: Is he a little terrier, a large terrier mix? Does
5:05
Speaker 4: he like to run and play, or is he more lazy,
5:07
Speaker 4: like a big lazy bear?
5:08
Speaker 5: He is best of both worlds. He loves to run
5:10
Speaker 5: and play. He's one of those dogs that if you
5:13
Speaker 5: leave for five seconds, five minutes, it doesn't matter how
5:15
Speaker 5: long you're gone. He is uber excited to see you.
5:19
Speaker 5: He loves to run around. He's not very good at fetch,
5:21
Speaker 5: but he loves to run around and chase toys.
5:24
Speaker 4: How is he not very good at fetch?
5:25
Speaker 5: He doesn't bring the toys back.
5:28
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
5:28
Speaker 1: He's good at fetch.
5:29
Speaker 4: Don't work harder than you have to.
5:31
Speaker 1: That's right.
5:31
Speaker 5: He wants you to do the work, too.
5:33
Speaker 1: Dansby, that's not a dog. That's a doll.
5:35
Speaker 4: He is cute. He is as cute as he could
5:38
Speaker 4: possibly be. And yes, very, very big, thick head.
5:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's your favorite kind of dog.
5:42
Speaker 4: No thoughts up there. But actually, I think he just
5:44
Speaker 4: plays that off. He's smarter than what he lets off.
5:48
Speaker 1: What a great dog. That dog, we've been watching the
5:50
Speaker 1: dog come up to Diane. First of all, the dog
5:52
Speaker 1: is very friendly with Tucker and I. But that dog
5:55
Speaker 1: comes up and looks at Diane. And you just see
5:58
Speaker 1: that look of happy dog on the face. So cute.
6:01
Speaker 4: So how old is Dansby?
6:03
Speaker 5: He's about a year and a half.
6:04
Speaker 4: A year and a half.
6:05
Speaker 8: He is.
6:06
Speaker 5: He's got a lot of life left. He's got a
6:07
Speaker 5: lot of energy. But once he runs his energy off,
6:11
Speaker 5: he's happy to veg out on the couch with you.
6:13
Speaker 4: See, that's good. Yeah, he's got a potential couch dog
6:16
Speaker 4: right there.
6:17
Speaker 1: Telling you.
6:17
Speaker 4: Now, speaking of Dan to be obviously available for adoption. Correct.
6:21

6:23
Speaker 4: special for your one year and older dogs.

7:08
Speaker 5: or five adult cats that are still waiting to get adopted.
7:10

7:36
Speaker 5: Yes, Sam Elliott is so cute. He has the craziest
7:39
Speaker 5: whiskers on his chin that just come all the way around,

9:38
Speaker 4: All right. Check out the video online. WTW.com. Back after this.
9:41
Speaker 13: My name is Peter Michelina and I'm running for Brazos
9:43
Speaker 13: County Commissioner in Precinct 4. I'm a Marine veteran, a
9:46
Speaker 13: Purple Heart recipient, and I serve veterans and our local
9:48
Speaker 13: community every day at the VFW because service doesn't stop
9:51
Speaker 13: when the uniform comes off. I want to bring that
9:53
Speaker 13: same commitment to Brazos County, listening to citizens, managing resources
9:57
Speaker 13: responsibly and making sure county government works for the people.
10:00
Speaker 7: It serves.
10:00
Speaker 13: As your county commissioner, I'll focus on lower taxes, smart growth,
10:04
Speaker 13: and real transparency so our community stays strong today and
10:07
Speaker 13: for the next generation.
10:08
Speaker 10: Political ad paid for by the Peter Michelina Campaign.
10:11
Speaker 14: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
10:15
Speaker 14: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
10:19
Speaker 14: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
10:23
Speaker 14: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
10:26
Speaker 14: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
10:29
Speaker 14: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
10:33
Speaker 14: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
10:37
Speaker 14: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
10:40
Speaker 15: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
10:45
Speaker 15: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
10:47
Speaker 15: drug cartels.
10:48
Speaker 1: He banned a state income tax.
10:50
Speaker 15: So you keep more of your money and Texas remains
10:53
Speaker 15: number one in job creations. And Governor Abbott keeps you
10:56
Speaker 15: safe by fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals
11:00
Speaker 15: locked up.
11:01
Speaker 1: That's the choice, Texas.
11:02
Speaker 15: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
11:05
Speaker 15: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.
11:08
Speaker 16: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.
11:11
Speaker 17: Howdy, this is Kyle Cassell, candidate for Brazos County Judge.
11:15
Speaker 17: I'm here to remind you to exercise your constitutional responsibility
11:19
Speaker 17: to vote. Elections are extremely important to our republic and
11:22
Speaker 17: our community, and as citizens of this great nation, it's
11:25
Speaker 17: our duty and responsibility to cast our ballots and encourage
11:29
Speaker 17: others to do the same. Early voting is October 19th
11:32
Speaker 17: through October 30th, and Election Day is November 3rd.
11:35
Speaker 1: Please get out and vote.

13:49
Speaker 4: Because that's why everyone's so rich in Oxford.
13:53
Speaker 1: They're just bilking.

Speaker 1: I think that one was a main house. You obviously
14:36
Speaker 1: get a big house. And a garage apartment.
14:38
Speaker 4: Okay, so you get the whole estate for three nights.
14:42
Speaker 1: But I'm not certain that that one had... Some of
14:44
Speaker 1: them will have the swimming pools and whatnot, which to me...
14:47
Speaker 1: That's nothing. That is not an amenity that adds to
14:51
Speaker 1: an Airbnb for me. Because if I'm going someplace, if
14:53
Speaker 1: I'm traveling, I don't necessarily care about having a pool there.
14:57
Speaker 4: Especially this time of year, it's not really.
14:59
Speaker 1: Well, it'll be May when we get there. Oh, true.
15:01
Speaker 4: It'll be warming up a little bit. But do you
15:03
Speaker 4: get a chef?
15:04
Speaker 1: No, none of that. It's just the house? Just the house. 20K.
15:09
Speaker 4: Have you ever been surprised by anything you found in
15:11
Speaker 4: an Airbnb? Not like something that someone left or some random...
15:14
Speaker 4: I'm saying the structure of the house itself or the
15:16
Speaker 4: makeup of the house itself. Did you ever stay? Have
15:18
Speaker 4: you ever stayed in one that was just strange?
15:20
Speaker 1: Yes.
15:21
Speaker 4: Weird about it.
15:21
Speaker 1: Yes.
15:22
Speaker 4: If any of you have stories, I want to hear them.
15:24
Speaker 4: I'm going somewhere with this.
15:27
Speaker 1: 979-695-1620.
15:27
Speaker 4: What did you find?
15:28
Speaker 1: So this was staying in Oxford, Mississippi, and it was
15:30
Speaker 1: an occupied house, right? So the family lives there, and
15:33
Speaker 1: then they take off and go someplace else whenever the
15:37
Speaker 1: Airbnb is rented. So all of their stuff is still there.
15:41
Speaker 1: And it was tidy. It was all put away. But
15:43
Speaker 1: it's somebody else's house.
15:44
Speaker 19: Right.
15:45
Speaker 1: So I stay in the master bedroom with the lovely wife,
15:48
Speaker 1: and we enter the master bedroom, and they're on the wall.
15:52
Speaker 1: is sonograms from all six of their children.
15:55
Speaker 4: That's pretty weird.
15:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:57
Speaker 21: Right.
15:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, and I understand that. It's beautiful.
16:00
Speaker 1: Love it. It's in your bedroom.
16:01
Speaker 18: Yeah.
16:01
Speaker 1: But your bedroom is now occupied by other people.
16:03
Speaker 4: So now you're going to, well, you know, I'm glad
16:06
Speaker 4: you got some, you know, that's wonderful.
16:07
Speaker 1: And really, I mean, if I had thought about it,
16:10
Speaker 1: I would have mixed them all up because how are
16:12
Speaker 1: you going to tell the difference? How do you really know?
16:15
Speaker 4: Now, I bring this up because I was at Airbnb
16:18
Speaker 4: this week. I was in San Antonio. uh just doing
16:21
Speaker 4: some random odds and ends uh helping fundraise for a
16:24
Speaker 4: small community radio station uh which is great cool and
16:27
Speaker 4: rain had to stay rain was going to come with
16:29
Speaker 4: me and she decided i gotta stay here i gotta
16:31
Speaker 4: handle some things like cool so i you know i
16:32
Speaker 4: had an airbnb and i booked it thinking it's like
16:35
Speaker 4: i'll go out to you know go out to halotis
16:37
Speaker 4: kind of close to the hills because it's a nice
16:39
Speaker 4: little cabin it's like you know price is right and
16:42
Speaker 4: everything I drive, you know, I get done with my stuff.
16:46
Speaker 4: I go out there. I'm like, I'll just crash here
16:48
Speaker 4: and then go back to College Station in the morning.
16:52
Speaker 4: No bathroom.
16:53
Speaker 22: What?
16:54
Speaker 4: I'm serious. Well, there is a bathroom, but it's an outhouse.
16:59
Speaker 4: You have to go around the structure, and then there's
17:03
Speaker 4: a door. Very nice outhouse. Nicest outhouse I've ever used, frankly.
17:08
Speaker 4: But no bathrooms. And it was not listed. It was
17:11
Speaker 4: not listed as something like, hey, just a heads up.
17:14
Speaker 4: You're going to have to get outside and walk around
17:15
Speaker 4: a little bit.
17:16
Speaker 1: If you're going to go to the bathroom. There wasn't
17:17
Speaker 1: anything in the reviews about that?
17:19
Speaker 4: No, but here's the thing. Like, the rest of the
17:20
Speaker 4: property was such that it's like when I first got there,
17:23
Speaker 4: it was like, oh, I'm burning her to the ground.
17:25
Speaker 4: But then there were other things that I found to
17:28
Speaker 4: be particularly pleasing about this property. Like, for instance, I
17:33
Speaker 4: opened the door to go to the bathroom, and there
17:36
Speaker 4: was a horse. I will post video evidence of this.
17:39
Speaker 4: There was a horse in front of the porch staring
17:44
Speaker 4: at me like, Morning, would you like, you got anything
17:47
Speaker 4: for horse? Any peppermints?
17:49
Speaker 1: Was the horse actually speaking to you?
17:52
Speaker 4: No, you've been around enough horses. They give you.
17:56
Speaker 1: The horse language. It wasn't like Mr.
17:58
Speaker 23: Ed.
17:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, when he realized, horse, I ain't got nothing for you,
18:02
Speaker 4: he just proceeded to pee. Just like, while making eye
18:05
Speaker 4: contact with me.
18:07
Speaker 6: How awkward.
18:07
Speaker 24: Yeah.
18:09
Speaker 4: I understood what he was saying. He was displeased. I
18:11
Speaker 4: was like, hey, horse, I'll be more prepared next time.
18:14
Speaker 4: A horse and an outhouse, top that.
18:17
Speaker 1: It's pretty tough to top.
18:18
Speaker 4: Top that.
18:20
Speaker 1: But, you know, you've got to take it as an
18:21
Speaker 1: Airbnb owner. But I love it.
18:22
Speaker 4: It was quiet. It was so quiet. It was up
18:24
Speaker 4: in the hills. It was like if I had to
18:26
Speaker 4: go somewhere to just be off the grid for a week,
18:30
Speaker 4: I would gladly pay this woman whatever she asked because
18:33
Speaker 4: no one's finding you up there. There's barely even the
18:36
Speaker 4: Wi-Fi barely works.
18:39
Speaker 1: You're out.
18:40
Speaker 4: When you get up there, there's no TV, no nothing.
18:42
Speaker 1: See, that's an amenity, though. You've got to take those
18:44
Speaker 1: things that are certain, sometimes perceived negatives, and turn them
18:48
Speaker 1: into positives. This cabin is so quaint, it even has
18:53
Speaker 1: an outhouse.
18:53
Speaker 4: It even has an outhouse, boy.
18:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, outhouse.
18:56
Speaker 4: The shower, because the outhouse is such that it is
18:59
Speaker 4: limited in height because it slopes in the back. If
19:01
Speaker 4: you aren't five foot four or below, just kiss the
19:05
Speaker 4: shower goodbye.
19:06
Speaker 1: You're not taking it. It's a cozy shower.
19:08
Speaker 4: It is cozy. Very cozy is the word. How do
19:11
Speaker 4: you brand the horse?
19:13
Speaker 1: The horse.
19:13
Speaker 4: Who comes up and asks for treats.
19:15
Speaker 1: This property comes complete with a companion animal. Okay, okay.
19:20
Speaker 1: A horse. Please bring treats for the horse. And then
19:23
Speaker 1: you can list the proper treats for the horse because
19:25
Speaker 1: some people might not know that.
19:30
Speaker 4: Again, I would love to know if anyone else has
19:32
Speaker 4: encountered anything even remotely similar to this.
19:35
Speaker 1: That's pretty bizarre.
19:36
Speaker 4: In their travels. Because that might be the weirdest one
19:38
Speaker 4: I've stayed in yet. And I've stayed in some... I'm
19:41
Speaker 4: 0 for a lot when it comes to Airbnbs.
19:43
Speaker 1: I would love that kind of place.
19:45
Speaker 4: This is right up your alley.
19:47
Speaker 1: Mandy would never go.
19:48
Speaker 4: Your wife would go insane. My wife– I was really
19:51
Speaker 4: kind of sad. I was like, oh, man, I wish
19:53
Speaker 4: Rain was here because I could take her to some
19:56
Speaker 4: of the places I like, out in Holotis, out in
19:57
Speaker 4: the Hill Country, maybe go to Bandera. When I walked
20:00
Speaker 4: in and saw there was no bathroom, I've never been
20:01
Speaker 4: more relieved that my wife canceled it.
20:05
Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
20:06
Speaker 1: Oh, little miracles.
20:08

20:23
Speaker 8: Mazieres died at San Antonio of lingering effect from a
20:28

20:31
Speaker 8: was born to nobility in Paris in 1719. and served
20:35

20:41
Speaker 8: shortly after Louisiana had passed from French to Spain control,
20:46
Speaker 8: Mazieres offered his services to Spain. Skilled in Latin, French,
20:50
Speaker 8: and Spanish, as well as in several Indian languages, he
20:54
Speaker 8: embarked on an extraordinary career as Spanish agent to the
20:58
Speaker 8: Indians of northern Texas. He negotiated several important treaties and
21:04
Speaker 8: in 1772 made the earliest definite mention of the Texas Iron,
21:09
Speaker 8: which was for years the largest recorded meteorite in the world.
21:13
Speaker 8: In 1778, Mazieres was on his way to Nacogdoches when
21:18
Speaker 8: he was thrown from his horse. He arrived in San
21:21
Speaker 8: Antonio where he learned he had been appointed governor of
21:24
Speaker 8: Texas in September 1779. but never assumed office, dying a
21:30
Speaker 8: few weeks later. I'll bet you didn't know.

Speaker 26: Hi, I'm Heather Simmon. To continue building on the successes
22:20
Speaker 26: we've seen over the past three years, I'm running for
22:22
Speaker 26: re-election for College Station School Board. From increased academic achievement,
22:26
Speaker 26: gains in college career and military readiness, to our fine arts, athletics,

22:32
Speaker 26: more opportunities so our students are prepared when they graduate
22:35
Speaker 26: and have a clear path forward. I will take the
22:36
Speaker 26: fight to Austin to ensure our district gets the funding
22:39
Speaker 26: we deserve. Let's keep CSISD the place where families and
22:41

22:51
Speaker 11: delivering results.
22:52
Speaker 1: He took on.
22:53
Speaker 11: Human traffickers and protected our kids. He passed safeguards against
22:57
Speaker 11: dangerous uses of AI, and he fought for Texas energy
23:00
Speaker 11: production to bring down prices at the pump and cut
23:03
Speaker 11: costs for small businesses. These aren't promises. They're results that
23:07

23:22
Speaker 28: If you deny your child's gender identity, that's incredibly harmful.
23:25
Speaker 28: It's abusive.
23:26
Speaker 27: He didn't just say it. He has voted for it
23:29
Speaker 27: to be classified as abuse. And that means they can
23:32
Speaker 27: call CPS on you if you don't transition your kids.
23:35
Speaker 28: There's only one person who can determine a child's gender identity,
23:38
Speaker 28: and that's the child. Blessed are the trans children. To
23:41
Speaker 28: the trans kids watching at home, I just want to
23:44
Speaker 28: say I love you. Modern science obviously recognizes that there
23:49

Speaker 1: Brian Mayor Pro Tem James Edge responded to the announcement
26:45
Speaker 1: of the resolution of condemnation against him by the Brazos
26:48
Speaker 1: County Republican Party. The party says Edge subverted and hijacked
26:52
Speaker 1: the party's name for his own personal political goals by
26:55
Speaker 1: publicly endorsing James Tallarico. Edge says he's a little flattered.
27:00
Speaker 1: He adds, quote, I think their decision to attempt to
27:02
Speaker 1: retaliate against me for exercising my First Amendment rights demonstrates
27:07
Speaker 1: just the type of destructive, divisive hyper-partisanship that I, along
27:11
Speaker 1: with many others, want to get away from. Edge doubled
27:14
Speaker 1: down on his endorsement and spoke at the Tallarico rally
27:17
Speaker 1: Friday night in Aggie Park.
27:19
Speaker 12: It may surprise you, I have never publicly supported a Democrat.
27:22
Speaker 12: And if you've been watching the news lately, there's been
27:25
Speaker 12: a little bit of controversy surrounding that. So I would
27:28
Speaker 12: encourage you to look on WTAW and KBTX.com.
27:33
Speaker 1: Edge said he supported the current senator.
27:35
Speaker 12: To be candid, I was a supporter of Senator John Cornyn.
27:39
Speaker 12: I think he served honorably, and I think he deserved
27:41
Speaker 12: to be reelected. but my party thought otherwise. But to
27:46
Speaker 12: replace him as our nominee with Ken Paxton?

Speaker 1: An ICE agent accused of hitting a fleeing man with

Speaker 29: Federal immigration agent Mario Alberto Morales is charged with aggravated
27:59

28:03
Speaker 29: car in Houston last month. He was chasing Miguel Para Hernandez,
28:07
Speaker 29: a construction worker, through a parking lot. And surveillance video
28:10
Speaker 29: shows his unmarked SUV struck Para Hernandez as he was
28:14
Speaker 29: running away. Morales' attorney originally described the incident as an accident,
28:18
Speaker 29: but a grand jury indicted him Friday on a felony
28:21
Speaker 29: charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Para Hernandez
28:25
Speaker 29: broke his leg and is recovering at a rehabilitation facility

Speaker 7: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
34:48
Speaker 7: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
34:52
Speaker 7: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
34:55
Speaker 7: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
34:58
Speaker 7: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
35:01
Speaker 7: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
35:04
Speaker 7: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
35:09
Speaker 7: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
35:13
Speaker 7: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
35:16
Speaker 7: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
35:19
Speaker 7: the people. That means judges should be accountable. Rules should
35:22
Speaker 7: be clear and the system should be accessible to those
35:25
Speaker 7: who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more
35:29
Speaker 7: than a principle. It means a court system Texans can understand,
35:33
Speaker 7: trust and afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
35:37
Speaker 1: Clear rules.
35:38
Speaker 7: Accountable courts. Equal justice under law.

35:56
Speaker 4: What fog that there is should be burning off here
36:00
Speaker 4: if it hasn't already. Mostly sunny is what we'll be
36:02
Speaker 4: left with and windy by the afternoon. 25 mile an
36:05
Speaker 4: hour wind gusts high near 85. Down to the 60s
36:08
Speaker 4: tonight with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, and
36:12
Speaker 4: then that's going to go up to a 90% chance
36:15
Speaker 4: of showers and thunderstorms for Friday morning. We're thinking, you know,
36:19
Speaker 4: early morning to drive time for most of the rain
36:22
Speaker 4: is the.
36:22
Speaker 1: Everything should be out by mid to early afternoon. Yeah,
36:26
Speaker 1: somewhere in there.
36:27
Speaker 4: Then windy temperatures falling down to 53 degrees by Tuesday night.

Speaker 4: Company and a whole home backup generator from Generac. Call

Speaker 4: Malik to schedule your appointment today. And we were talking
36:46
Speaker 4: about weird stuff that you found in Airbnbs. And I
36:50
Speaker 4: will say that Charlie has a weird one. It says
36:55
Speaker 4: that they had a unique way to keep people from
36:57
Speaker 4: leaving out trash. When I was staying in North Carolina,
37:01
Speaker 4: they would just have pictures of bears that they had
37:05
Speaker 4: taken on their ring camera scattered around. I just remind you, hey.
37:09
Speaker 1: See, that would have the opposite effect on you.
37:10
Speaker 4: That would have the exact opposite effect. If I walk
37:13
Speaker 4: into your Airbnb and see, like, oh, there's bears about,
37:16
Speaker 4: and they like trash, just.
37:20
Speaker 1: You're going to.
37:20
Speaker 4: Go down to the pet store. You're going to go
37:21
Speaker 4: find some bear chow. What are bears like? I mean,
37:25
Speaker 4: I know honey is the easy one, but I feel
37:28
Speaker 4: like that's kind of cliche.
37:30
Speaker 1: I think so.
37:31
Speaker 4: Either way.
37:33
Speaker 1: They're like a picnic basket.
37:35
Speaker 4: See, a picnic basket is the first thing I'd go for.
37:37
Speaker 4: Let's talk some food news because I want to talk
37:39
Speaker 4: about the McDonald's lawsuit. I'm not really that dialed into this.
37:44
Speaker 4: You're going to have to catch me up on some details.
37:45
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it was just the last week or
37:46
Speaker 1: so that we discovered– that they had snuck the McRib
37:49
Speaker 1: back out.
37:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was kind of app-based and regional and
37:52
Speaker 4: all this other.
37:53
Speaker 1: We did discover, thanks to our woman on the streets
37:55
Speaker 1: in the news department, Jeanette... Who.
37:57
Speaker 4: Didn't bother to tell us, just basically went and got
38:00
Speaker 4: a McRib and then used the McRib locator... to post
38:04
Speaker 4: that it was confirmed that McRibs could be security at
38:08
Speaker 4: Bryan College Station.
38:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, that McRib locator, that's pretty high-tech stuff right there.
38:13
Speaker 1: But the lawsuit is now a class action suit claiming
38:16
Speaker 1: that McDonald's has misled customers by naming it a McRib
38:22
Speaker 1: and shaping the patty with ridges to make it look
38:26
Speaker 1: like a rack of pork ribs.
38:28
Speaker 4: This is the oldest trope. And I get it. It's
38:31
Speaker 4: been in so many stand-up bits. It's like, it's not,
38:34
Speaker 4: come on.
38:35
Speaker 1: If you don't, if you're going to McDonald's and expecting
38:39
Speaker 1: a fine barbecue product, I'm sorry, but you're not smart
38:43
Speaker 1: enough to sue anybody.
38:44
Speaker 4: If you're going to sue them, the idea is that
38:47
Speaker 4: the McRib is supposed to resemble, at least meat-wise, a
38:51
Speaker 4: rack of ribs, right? And they're saying, oh, well, then
38:54
Speaker 4: surely this is just a rack of ribs thrown on
38:57
Speaker 4: a bun. If you, sir, if you bite into something
39:00
Speaker 4: like that and you don't hit a bone, that should
39:02
Speaker 4: tell you everything. Would you rather have it have a
39:05
Speaker 4: bone in there that you were gnawing on?
39:06
Speaker 1: Are you expecting beaks and feet in your chicken nuggets?
39:12
Speaker 1: It's McDonald's, man.
39:13
Speaker 4: It's the McRib. It's not a rib. It's the McRib.
39:18
Speaker 4: The McRib is something completely different.
39:20
Speaker 1: If your expectation is other than that, you're lost.
39:23
Speaker 4: I will say, this is not, I don't want you
39:26
Speaker 4: to get it twisted. And and and because i understand
39:29
Speaker 4: some people have real issues with mcdonald's i don't i
39:33
Speaker 4: don't consider mcdonald's to be hamburgers or cheeseburgers mcdonald's is
39:40
Speaker 4: mcdonald's i don't want i don't categorize it alongside that
39:45
Speaker 4: someone like copy bridge throws out there or or even.
39:48
Speaker 1: What a burger In fact, it may be a different animal.
39:53
Speaker 4: A Whataburger tastes like a cheeseburger. McDonald's? I don't even know.
39:59
Speaker 1: It tastes like McDonald's. It tastes like.
40:00
Speaker 4: McDonald's, dude. I don't know how to say it. That
40:04
Speaker 4: is the weakest. I would have said if it's suing
40:10
Speaker 4: them for doing the limited time and just.
40:12
Speaker 1: Jerking our hearts. Not even that.
40:15
Speaker 4: That's a suit that I'd like to get involved with.
40:17
Speaker 4: If it's just like, well, you know, it's not actually
40:20
Speaker 4: a rib.
40:20
Speaker 22: Yeah.
40:20
Speaker 1: You set the expectation too high. You're trying to pull
40:24
Speaker 1: the wool over our eyes and make us think that
40:26
Speaker 1: this is actual rib meat.
40:28
Speaker 11: No.
40:28
Speaker 1: Now, on the other hand, if you have ordered a
40:31
Speaker 1: McDonald's McRib sometime in the past, you could get yourself
40:36
Speaker 1: a little coin out of this. It's a class action suit.
40:38
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, like if they win.
40:39
Speaker 1: You could join in.
40:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they win.
40:41
Speaker 1: You could get 38 cents out of it.
40:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe even a buck or two, depending on how
40:47
Speaker 4: many of those bad boys you put away. I could
40:50
Speaker 4: imagine you could cash in on that quite nicely.
40:52
Speaker 1: That is so sad.
40:55
Speaker 4: Let's talk about some other food news while we're in this.
40:58
Speaker 4: Let's say that you're up in parts unknown, up in
41:04
Speaker 4: the great wilderness of the north, and someone comes to
41:08
Speaker 4: you and says, hey, Will, we just found something out
41:12
Speaker 4: in the ice, and it's a beer keg.
41:15
Speaker 1: Full of beer.
41:17
Speaker 4: Now, we lost that beer keg 50 years ago. It
41:20
Speaker 4: sunk down in the ice and was thought lost, but
41:22
Speaker 4: thanks to the the wonders of whatever we want to
41:26
Speaker 4: call the thing where the ice melts. because a lot
41:30
Speaker 4: of ice melts up there now. It's back.
41:32
Speaker 18: Yeah.
41:32
Speaker 4: It's back.
41:33
Speaker 1: Ice forms and reforms. It's a natural process.
41:36
Speaker 4: So it has returned the beer to us 50 years later.
41:40
Speaker 1: So in the 1970s, apparently, and this is the Swiss Alps,
41:43
Speaker 1: the Alps that border, not Swiss, Italy and Austria. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:48
Speaker 4: The big, tall mountains where you can lose a keg
41:51
Speaker 4: of beer for 50 years in the ice.
41:53
Speaker 1: Well, apparently, they had these old warming huts up there
41:55
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and they... Put beer in them.
41:57
Speaker 4: Because why wouldn't you?
41:59
Speaker 1: They were transporting a keg of beer via helicopter and
42:03
Speaker 1: lost the keg. Fell down in a crevasse and it
42:07
Speaker 1: was gone.
42:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just said, hey, it happens.
42:10
Speaker 1: So then a fellow who happened to be in the
42:14
Speaker 1: beer industry figured out that this thing was now accessible.
42:18
Speaker 18: Yeah.
42:19
Speaker 1: A beverage company employee named Daniel discovered it at roughly 3,000
42:23
Speaker 1: meters above sea level. Right. An engraving on the metal
42:27
Speaker 1: confirmed it was from the year 1978. It had been
42:31
Speaker 1: up there that long. Oh, my word. So they retrieved it. Apparently,
42:34
Speaker 1: the keg was still intact, which meant it had never frozen.
42:37
Speaker 10: Yeah.
42:37
Speaker 1: Right. It's like it's it just had remained cold.
42:40
Speaker 4: It's like how you imagine a Coors Light.
42:42
Speaker 11: Yeah.
42:43
Speaker 4: From the commercials. It's that it's literally been kept in
42:46
Speaker 4: sub freezing conditions. conditions this entire time but the beer
42:49
Speaker 4: never froze yeah it's just been sitting in there.
42:52
Speaker 1: And it was it was it was still fresh they
42:54
Speaker 1: tested it they brought it back to the brewery they
42:56
Speaker 1: tapped it they tested it first for safety and they
42:59
Speaker 1: said they said it's safe to drink and they drank
43:02
Speaker 1: it and they said it was good it was uh.
43:06
Speaker 4: Would you if so if you're offered a uh a
43:09
Speaker 4: a a mug full of that keg do you drink it?
43:14
Speaker 1: After everybody else has? Sure.
43:15
Speaker 4: After everyone, yeah, okay.
43:16
Speaker 1: And of course, the beer's not aging or anything while
43:19
Speaker 1: it's in a keg. It's not like it's in a
43:20
Speaker 1: cask or something like that. It's just, it's maintaining stasis
43:24
Speaker 1: at that point in time.
43:24
Speaker 4: I'm going to give you, I'd probably jump in if
43:27
Speaker 4: it was that particular keg of beer because that sounds
43:29
Speaker 4: pretty amazing.
43:30
Speaker 27: It's pretty cool.
43:31
Speaker 4: And again, in the Swiss Austrian Alps and Italian Alps,
43:35
Speaker 4: wherever they found it, I mean, it's so much better
43:38
Speaker 4: than if it was like, you know, Arctic or Antarctic
43:41
Speaker 4: ice because my thought would just be doom. That's when
43:46
Speaker 4: the thing comes out and you turn into something.
43:49
Speaker 1: Polar bear would have got to it early on. Nothing
43:52
Speaker 1: like a keg drunk polar bear, by the way.
43:55
Speaker 4: I can only imagine. Oh, by the way, as long
43:57
Speaker 4: as we're talking about dangerous booze, you're about the Chili's thing.
44:00
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. This was, yeah.
44:02
Speaker 4: Okay, so go ahead and give me the D, because
44:04
Speaker 4: this is.
44:05
Speaker 6: So apparently.
44:06
Speaker 4: I hate this for Chili's.
44:08
Speaker 1: There was a Chili's in North Carolina that there were
44:11
Speaker 1: five people total that suffered chemical burns.
44:14
Speaker 4: Chemical burns!
44:15
Speaker 1: On or around their mouths.
44:16
Speaker 6: Why?
44:17
Speaker 1: Well, because apparently somebody who was cleaning windows before left
44:21
Speaker 1: at the bar... a chemical degreaser that resembled granular sugar.
44:28
Speaker 4: Sugar salt, whatever you would use to rim up a margarita.
44:31
Speaker 1: So they, some enterprising bartender said, oh yeah, here's the stuff.
44:34
Speaker 1: Dumped it in the little tray where they got the
44:36
Speaker 1: juice and the little sponge and whatever else, right?
44:38
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes.
44:39
Speaker 1: So yeah, there was apparently three customers suddenly decided, hey,
44:42
Speaker 1: my lips are burning a little bit. This doesn't seem right.
44:44
Speaker 4: Chili's melted their face.
44:46
Speaker 1: So here's the problem I have is after, so if
44:49
Speaker 1: I take a drink of something, I'm like, Oh, my God,
44:52
Speaker 1: my face is on fire. There's blisters on my lips.
44:54
Speaker 4: How dank is your normal margarita?
44:58
Speaker 1: So then there were two employees that, I guess, tried it. Really?
45:02
Speaker 4: How did it turn out?
45:03
Speaker 1: They got injured and sent to the hospital, too.
45:05
Speaker 4: They melted their face as well.
45:07
Speaker 1: That's like if you go, man, this really stinks. Here, Tucker,
45:10
Speaker 1: smell this.
45:12
Speaker 4: Here is a health district employee and also, ironically, a
45:17
Speaker 4: Chili's customer talking about the whole thing.
45:19
Speaker 21: They pretty much instantly started experiencing side effects.
45:23
Speaker 4: Instantly.
45:25
Speaker 1: So then you're like, try this. It's killing me. Instantly.
45:28
Speaker 4: Like, I didn't think to just run to the bathroom.
45:32
Speaker 4: And what did they order? Like, what was the order
45:35
Speaker 4: that they put in? That's not an El Presidente.
45:39
Speaker 1: Not included on any margarita menu I've ever seen. It's
45:41
Speaker 1: like a Wes Craven story coming to life. It's like, no,
45:44
Speaker 1: you don't get margaritas that can burn your skin.
45:47
Speaker 26: I mean.
45:49
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair.
45:50
Speaker 4: I have no idea what you could do with a margarita.
45:53
Speaker 1: I might have had a margarita that could take off skin.
45:54
Speaker 13: I don't know.
45:55
Speaker 21: A chemical was brought into the building in an unlabeled container.
46:00
Speaker 21: The next employee that came in to set up mistakenly
46:05
Speaker 21: took it as sugar, and it was put into the
46:10
Speaker 21: margarita preparation station.
46:12
Speaker 4: Again, I just hate this so much for Chili's.
46:13
Speaker 1: I do, too.
46:14
Speaker 4: Things can happen. Let's not pretend this is anything other
46:17
Speaker 4: than a couple of idiots, but.

Speaker 1: they live in Pebble Creek.
50:52

50:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pebble Creek is, Pebble Creek I feel like is the,
51:00

51:06
Speaker 1: far from Pebble Creek. It just, you know, across the
51:08
Speaker 1: road and a little bit closer to 6th. And it
51:11
Speaker 1: was a great place for trick-or-treating. We always had that one.
51:14
Speaker 1: Always had that one house. I loved it. They always
51:16
Speaker 1: gave out the full-size bars. My spy in that neighborhood,
51:20
Speaker 1: I've got a couple over there. He texted me, said,
51:22
Speaker 1: still doing it. Still gave out. And if you said
51:25
Speaker 1: thank you and please, you got.
51:26
Speaker 4: An extra one.
51:27
Speaker 1: They gave you two full-size bars.
51:30
Speaker 4: What do they do for a living?
51:31
Speaker 1: They make. People happy.
51:33
Speaker 4: No, they do something else if they're able to afford
51:36
Speaker 4: double bars for each.
51:38
Speaker 1: This is a Halloween family, man. They, you know, they
51:40
Speaker 1: did the yard. They dressed up the whole thing.
51:43
Speaker 4: So whenever your kids, what did you what was your
51:46
Speaker 4: go to? Like, you just let him eat the whole
51:48
Speaker 4: stash over. You kind of whittle away.
51:50
Speaker 1: No, no, no. Yeah. The wife would typically take it
51:53
Speaker 1: away and put it in containers. That they supposedly couldn't
51:57
Speaker 1: reach when they were younger.
51:58
Speaker 4: Right, right, right.
51:58
Speaker 1: And then, of course, we took the parental taxes out
52:01
Speaker 1: of it, which had to do with the Reese's Peanut
52:03
Speaker 1: Butter offerings that were there. So, no, they didn't. My
52:08
Speaker 1: wife did not let them. Yeah, there was a set
52:11
Speaker 1: amount that they could have that night.
52:12
Speaker 31: Right.
52:12
Speaker 1: Right. And then after that, it's all. It was just
52:15
Speaker 1: it would be rationed out.
52:17
Speaker 4: Now, there was two. There's two stories about this, one
52:19
Speaker 4: of which is the story that says what you should
52:22
Speaker 4: be doing is just let your kids eat all of
52:24
Speaker 4: it until they're sick. Because, like, they got to learn.
52:27
Speaker 1: That's the old back in the day when you wanted
52:29
Speaker 1: to keep your kids from smoking. You give them that.
52:32
Speaker 18: Yes.
52:32
Speaker 1: Smoke this three packs right here. See how you like
52:35
Speaker 1: it then.
52:35
Speaker 4: My sister's got two tiny ones. She uses the Switch Witch,
52:39
Speaker 4: which is like the idea of, you know, the Switch
52:42
Speaker 4: Witch takes all of your leftover candy and then converts
52:44
Speaker 4: it into fun toys and things like that. So it's like,
52:47
Speaker 4: you know, you kind of have to bribe them.
52:48
Speaker 1: You ever heard of this?
52:49
Speaker 31: No.
52:50
Speaker 6: Yeah.
52:50
Speaker 4: It's you. You take the candy. All the extra candy.
52:55
Speaker 4: You say, okay, kids, donate it to the Switch Witch,
52:57
Speaker 4: and if you donate a lot of candy, you'll get
52:59
Speaker 4: maybe something that they like. They're small, so just buy
53:03
Speaker 4: them a toy, and then they call it good.
53:05
Speaker 1: That would not have worked for candy. It does not
53:07
Speaker 1: work for me in gun exchange programs.
53:09
Speaker 4: That's your right, kids.
53:13
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I would have protested.
53:15
Speaker 4: Come and take my candy. Take it.
53:18
Speaker 1: Love it.
53:19
Speaker 4: One final option I wanted to present to you. Just
53:21
Speaker 4: tell me what you think.
53:22
Speaker 23: Halloween is over. Is your child's trick-or-treat bag filled with
53:25
Speaker 23: candy corn nobody wants? Donate it to Corn for Kids.
53:29
Speaker 23: It'll be sent immediately to kids like these who are
53:32
Speaker 23: completely depleted of sugar.
53:33
Speaker 21: 1-877-CORN-FOR-KIDS K-O-R-N, Corn for Kids.
53:41
Speaker 23: Yeah.
53:41
Speaker 10: 1-877-CORN-FOR-KIDS.
53:43
Speaker 29: Donate your corn today.

53:48
Speaker 23: Corn for Kids jingle. So send your unwanted candy corn today.
53:52
Speaker 23: And please, no Necco wafers.
53:55
Speaker 7: 1-877-CORN-FOR-KIDS.
53:58
Speaker 6: Hit it, kids.
54:00
Speaker 1: I'd take a Necco waper over candy corn.
54:02
Speaker 23: Because until we meet our candy corn quote, we're not
54:05
Speaker 23: going to stop running this ad. Because the only thing
54:07
Speaker 23: you hate more than candy corn.
54:11
Speaker 1: Is this song. Pretty close.
54:14
Speaker 4: Some would say the greatest radio jingle ever composed.
54:19
Speaker 1: Maybe. I don't know. There's that whole Frito and Pie one.
54:22
Speaker 4: That's pretty good.
54:24
Speaker 31: Oh, man.
54:24
Speaker 4: We are giving him a run for his money on that.
54:26
Speaker 1: Hey, grand opening today. South Brazos County Fire Station down there.
