6:18
Speaker 1: I mean... Oh, God.
6:22

6:23
Speaker 12: No. No.
6:27
Speaker 1: I promise.
6:28
Speaker 10: No, no.
6:29
Speaker 7: It's not so much being a hitman. It's how do
6:32
Speaker 7: you get to be a hitman? Because, and I relate
6:37
Speaker 7: this to our.
6:38
Speaker 6: Job, doing a radio show and again we've been doing
6:42
Speaker 6: this both was quite some time back in the day
6:46
Speaker 6: it was you you got an internship or you became
6:49
Speaker 6: a street teamer.
6:50
Speaker 1: Yeah you had to have the desire you had to
6:52
Speaker 1: have some talent.
6:53
Speaker 7: And you had to you had to work your way
6:55
Speaker 7: through the rungs.
6:56
Speaker 1: You had to have a love for cheese sandwiches and
6:58
Speaker 1: ramen noodles.
6:59
Speaker 6: Yeah you weren't going to get any money They might
7:01
Speaker 6: give you some free beer every once in a while.
7:03
Speaker 6: It was really, really tough times. And eventually maybe you
7:06
Speaker 6: get a tryout on a show.
7:08
Speaker 7: Maybe it works. And then you go from there.
7:10
Speaker 1: So comparing to a hitman.
7:12
Speaker 7: How do you get started as a hitman?
7:13
Speaker 1: Well, for some folks, it's a family business.
7:17
Speaker 7: Oh, right, right, right.
7:19
Speaker 6: Like you just maybe... you know, you go in and
7:21
Speaker 6: you're not, you're just, you know, regular dude. And then
7:24
Speaker 6: they think to yourself, no, wait, no, I can go
7:26
Speaker 6: do that. And so you go to the boss and
7:28
Speaker 6: then you say, Hey, you know, if an opportunity ever
7:31
Speaker 6: presents itself, then maybe you knock it out of the
7:33
Speaker 6: park and then you get more gigs.
7:34
Speaker 1: And then it builds your self esteem.
7:37
Speaker 7: I get that.
7:38
Speaker 9: Yeah.
7:39
Speaker 7: It gotta be great. Something.
7:41
Speaker 9: Yeah.
7:42
Speaker 6: A Maryland homicide that began with 21 bullets in a
7:45
Speaker 6: townhouse parking lot is now being pinned on a gymnastics
7:50
Speaker 6: coach because he was trying to become a hit man.
7:54
Speaker 1: Look, if it takes you 21 shots, this is not
7:57
Speaker 1: a mission.
7:58
Speaker 7: My friend. Now you might want to find yourself another
8:00
Speaker 7: line of work.
8:00
Speaker 11: No.
8:01
Speaker 7: Uh, how did they find out he was trying to
8:03
Speaker 7: be a hit man? You ask?
8:05
Speaker 6: And guys, I know you're thinking because they went to
8:08
Speaker 6: his phone and got his text messages and he had
8:11
Speaker 6: replied to a text message. This hit man thing has
8:15
Speaker 6: really been picking up.
8:17
Speaker 2: What?
8:18
Speaker 7: God, He was psyched. He was like, hey, you know what?
8:20
Speaker 7: I got a contract. I got a hit.
8:22
Speaker 13: And it worked.
8:24
Speaker 7: I nailed it. I got the first one out of
8:26
Speaker 7: the bag. I'm headed on.
8:27
Speaker 6: Now, by the way, again, being a hitman, I would
8:29
Speaker 6: imagine a big part of the business is not getting caught.
8:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't get a certificate for that.
8:33
Speaker 7: No, no. But it's just, you know, my expectation of
8:34
Speaker 7: you as an armed man.
8:41
Speaker 6: Soldier of fortune is that you're going to be able
8:44
Speaker 6: to do this job and you're.
8:46
Speaker 7: Not going to get caught.
8:46
Speaker 6: If you get caught, you're probably going to turn me
8:49
Speaker 6: in for paying you. By the way, they did find
8:52
Speaker 6: out who paid a matter of $ 2, 400.
8:53
Speaker 4: $ 2, 400?
8:53
Speaker 7: Well, you know, you've got to start small.
8:56
Speaker 14: You've got to take some of the jobs that other
8:58
Speaker 14: people won't do.
9:00
Speaker 1: I mean, short of killing somebody, I don't even know
9:04
Speaker 1: that I'd punch somebody for less than five grand.
9:06
Speaker 7: That is not a great billable hour.
9:08
Speaker 11: Anyway.
9:11
Speaker 7: Also, it should be noted, I'm just going to throw
9:15
Speaker 7: this out there.
9:17
Speaker 6: They also were able to tie him to the crime
9:19
Speaker 6: via location data and the GPS tracker that exists on
9:24
Speaker 6: his gray Tesla.
9:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Tesla will get you busted every time. Every time.
9:30
Speaker 7: The Tesla. The Tesla that he was driving as an aspiring... friend.
9:35
Speaker 1: Most most gps most gps units in the car you're
9:38
Speaker 1: gonna have to get an old car they can they
9:40
Speaker 1: can pull that data out you have.
9:41
Speaker 6: To get an old car that's said well maybe that's
9:44
Speaker 6: the idea you want to believe you don't want people
9:46
Speaker 6: to you know you can't have a big imposing vehicle
9:48
Speaker 6: if you're well.

Speaker 7: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys. We're the Infomaniacs. 979-695-1620.
12:55
Speaker 1: That would have been a good karaoke song.
12:58
Speaker 7: That's an easy one. Lean on me is pretty easy.
13:01
Speaker 6: Anything on those boys' set list.
13:06
Speaker 7: Anything on the Statler brothers.
13:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:08
Speaker 6: Again, helps to have some brothers, like some friends to
13:12
Speaker 6: come in and carry you through on some of those harmonies,
13:16
Speaker 6: but pretty solid.
13:18
Speaker 7: This isn't so much about eating alone.
13:21
Speaker 6: How do you feel about going to a restaurant by yourself?
13:26
Speaker 1: I do it fairly frequently. Really? Not necessarily lunches or dinners. However,
13:32
Speaker 1: I do enjoy getting up very early on weekend morning
13:36
Speaker 1: because it's going to happen anyway. And being at a
13:39
Speaker 1: particular place here in town, I'll do it about once
13:41
Speaker 1: a month. And I will go just sit at the
13:44
Speaker 1: bar by myself. Typically, I'll run into people that I know.
13:48
Speaker 1: but I will enjoy a meal conversation with the bartenders,
13:52
Speaker 1: the waitstaff, you know, whatever. Just, I like, it's no
13:54
Speaker 1: crowd and it's good food.
13:55
Speaker 7: Holy cow.
13:56
Speaker 17: Okay.
13:56
Speaker 10: I do that frequently.
13:57
Speaker 6: I don't, I, I'm not saying it's unusual because there are,
14:01
Speaker 6: there are people, I can't do it. Like, it's just
14:03
Speaker 6: one of those things that I, I mean, I can,
14:05
Speaker 6: but I feel super weird about walking into a place
14:07
Speaker 6: and eating alone.
14:07
Speaker 7: Oddly enough for breakfast, I can kind of see it.
14:09
Speaker 11: Yeah.
14:10
Speaker 7: Kind of see it.
14:11
Speaker 6: But like if I'm on the road and I've got
14:12
Speaker 6: to eat lunch somewhere, I just don't like sitting at
14:16
Speaker 6: a table and, by myself, stuffing my face.
14:20
Speaker 7: Because takeout is an option.
14:22
Speaker 1: Well, I've seen you stuff your face and I could
14:23
Speaker 1: see why maybe you would want somebody with you to
14:26
Speaker 1: help block the view.
14:27
Speaker 7: Exactly, help defray the, you know. No, I don't mind it.
14:30
Speaker 1: Because, again, I've mentioned it before, the insurance commercials where
14:35
Speaker 1: you're slowly turning into your parents. I'm turning into the guy,
14:38
Speaker 1: actually I've always been the guy, that would talk to anybody.
14:41
Speaker 10: Oh, Lord, yes.
14:41
Speaker 1: Randomly.
14:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:42
Speaker 1: But I've had some really great conversations that way. I've
14:45
Speaker 1: also had Met some people that I wanted to run
14:49
Speaker 1: away from. And I met one person that I did
14:53
Speaker 1: run away from. That is the risk. Yeah, that is
14:56
Speaker 1: the risk. But for the most part, it's been very positive.
14:59
Speaker 7: Now, if you want to weigh in, feel free.
15:02
Speaker 10: 979-695-1620.
15:02
Speaker 7: Just shoot us a text.
15:04
Speaker 6: The thing is, in this particular story, this is about
15:08
Speaker 6: making a reservation for one.
15:11
Speaker 1: You see, I mean....
15:14
Speaker 7: Depends.
15:14
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's a restaurant, what is a restaurant?
15:17
Speaker 7: Are you talking like if it's.
15:18
Speaker 1: A high end place that has, you know, a tough
15:22
Speaker 1: list to be on?
15:23
Speaker 17: Right. Yeah.
15:23
Speaker 1: You want to make and you want to go. I
15:25
Speaker 1: can see myself doing this because for the majority of
15:28
Speaker 1: my family.
15:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, they don't.
15:30
Speaker 1: They are not as food adventurous as I am.
15:33
Speaker 18: Right.
15:33
Speaker 1: And so if there's something that I want to go
15:36
Speaker 1: try that perhaps they don't. I will find a time
15:38
Speaker 1: to go do it. And if it's a high-demand place,
15:41
Speaker 1: you might have to make a reservation.
15:42
Speaker 7: For one? Yeah. I felt like this is more of.
15:45
Speaker 1: A restaurant crowd. Unless they've got a bar there where
15:47
Speaker 1: there's single seating, you're going to be taking up at
15:49
Speaker 1: least a two-top.
15:50
Speaker 7: True.
15:50
Speaker 6: Because my go-to there, it's like, oh, yeah, well, if
15:53
Speaker 6: I have to go into a place and eat alone,
15:55
Speaker 6: I'm going to ask.
15:56
Speaker 7: Number one, I'm going to shove up my head. It's
15:58
Speaker 7: just me. And if they take me to the table,
16:00
Speaker 7: I'm not going to stop them.
16:01
Speaker 19: No. No.
16:02
Speaker 6: But if they're like, it's got to be a bar,
16:05
Speaker 6: go knock it out there.
16:06
Speaker 7: But you're right, not all places have a working bar.
16:08
Speaker 1: I look at it as a courtesy to the restaurant.
16:11
Speaker 1: I don't want to take away 50% of their table
16:14
Speaker 1: revenue for a two-top by occupying it with just one.
16:19
Speaker 7: How do they look at it if you walk.
16:22
Speaker 14: Into a restaurant by yourself? I don't think they look
16:24
Speaker 14: at you, but they look at... Every seat is money lost.
16:28
Speaker 14: And so they think to themselves, this doofus... who's sitting
16:30
Speaker 14: here eating by himself, has no friends, clearly. And that's
16:33
Speaker 14: what I think they think about me, by the way,
16:35
Speaker 14: when I do this.
16:36
Speaker 1: See, here's the problem, Tucker.
16:37
Speaker 6: But, like, you know, you just, I don't, now you're
16:39
Speaker 6: making me think they're actually irritated at me.
16:41
Speaker 1: When I go in and do this. They would be
16:42
Speaker 1: irritated with you if you just sat there drinking coffee,
16:45
Speaker 1: you know, staring at a computer screen and not spending
16:47
Speaker 1: any money. Here's the problem that you just brought up.
16:50
Speaker 10: Yeah.
16:51
Speaker 1: You are too concerned about what other people think about you.
16:53
Speaker 7: Probably so.
16:54
Speaker 1: You need to reach a point where you just go,
16:56
Speaker 1: you know what?
16:56
Speaker 7: Who cares?
16:58
Speaker 8: I'm hungry.
16:58
Speaker 1: I'm me.
16:59
Speaker 7: I'm going to eat.
16:59
Speaker 1: Take it or leave it.
17:00
Speaker 6: Lisa texts in that she also will do this and says,
17:05
Speaker 6: I bring a book to read or I talk to people.
17:06
Speaker 7: It's not bad. I enjoy having no pressure. Oh, you
17:09
Speaker 7: know what? There's a good point.
17:10
Speaker 6: I enjoy having no pressure that you have when you
17:14
Speaker 6: dine with others because occasionally when you dine with others,
17:17
Speaker 6: there's pressure to keep the conversation up.
17:20
Speaker 7: You know what? That absolutely makes sense.
17:23
Speaker 6: So you would say, depending on the restaurant, you would
17:26
Speaker 6: make a reservation for just you.
17:29
Speaker 1: I can't think of an example where I went to
17:31
Speaker 1: a fine dining establishment or someplace where you would need
17:36
Speaker 1: to create a reservation for most of the time that
17:38
Speaker 1: I've gone to by myself. I can't think of one.
17:44
Speaker 1: Let's say, for example, back in the days when I
17:46
Speaker 1: had a job where I was traveling a lot. If
17:48
Speaker 1: I'm in a town that's It's got a great restaurant
17:52
Speaker 1: and they don't have a bar seat.
17:52
Speaker 6: If you're in Indianapolis and you're like, I could be
17:56
Speaker 6: at St. Elmo's and a cab ride, you say, absolutely.
18:01
Speaker 1: Reservation for one, please.
18:03
Speaker 7: Get me in.
18:04
Speaker 6: I'll tell you exactly when I'm going to show up
18:06
Speaker 6: and I'm here to eat all the steak.
18:07
Speaker 1: And I'm going to be courteous about it. I'm not
18:09
Speaker 1: going to dilly-dally. I don't know that I'm going to
18:11
Speaker 1: eat at Tucker's speed, but I'll try to tuck in
18:13
Speaker 1: pretty good.
18:15
Speaker 6: I would be interested to know if you are a
18:18
Speaker 6: waitstaff or former waitstaff, Or manager.
18:20
Speaker 7: Or manager.
18:21
Speaker 1: Restaurant manager.
18:22
Speaker 7: How do you.
18:22
Speaker 6: Guys feel about the solo diners? How do y'all feel
18:26
Speaker 6: about it? Is that a good table? Is that a
18:28
Speaker 6: bad table? Do they tip better? I would imagine they do.
18:32
Speaker 1: I would think so.
18:33
Speaker 6: I would imagine they probably tip a lot better. So
18:36
Speaker 6: maybe it's an upgrade. Maybe you walk in and you're like, oh, Lord,
18:38
Speaker 6: this is going to be an easy table.
18:40
Speaker 7: Upgrade for the wait staff, at least. Yeah, but feel free.
18:42
Speaker 6: To weigh in, 979-695-1620.
18:46
Speaker 1: And again, Tucker, if you are sitting at a one-top
18:49
Speaker 1: and you're by yourself, and I'm sitting at a one-top
18:51
Speaker 1: by myself, my bill is going to be significantly smaller
18:55
Speaker 1: than yours.
18:57
Speaker 16: Yes.
18:57
Speaker 7: Look, you're getting at least four people whenever I sit down.
18:59
Speaker 7: There you go.
18:59
Speaker 1: Tucker's coming in. You're going to be fine.
19:01
Speaker 7: The balance is going to be high.
19:04
Speaker 20: This is Today in Texas History, brought to you by

20:46
Speaker 1: State government.
20:48
Speaker 7: Nice try, but no.
20:50
Speaker 13: Local governments.
20:51
Speaker 8: Correct.
20:52
Speaker 1: And we have a winner.
20:54
Speaker 18: Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control property taxes.
20:59
Speaker 22: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
21:02
Speaker 22: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
21:05
Speaker 22: why your property taxes are going up is because local
21:08
Speaker 22: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
21:12
Speaker 22: got to do is to stop the spending that leads.
21:15
Speaker 1: To property tax increases. You should have a say on
21:19
Speaker 1: whether or not your property taxes go up.
21:21
Speaker 22: It should be a vote that requires two-thirds vote before
21:25
Speaker 22: any property tax increase can ever be imposed on our
21:28
Speaker 22: fellow Texans. You're going to be able to live in
21:30
Speaker 22: your home for the rest of your lives without being
21:32
Speaker 22: priced out of it.

Speaker 1: Protecting homeowners, lowering property taxes. That's Governor Greg Abbott.

Speaker 23: The Federal Reserve is set to announce its interest rate
23:04
Speaker 23: decision tomorrow at 2 p.m.
23:06
Speaker 7: Eastern.
23:07

23:10
Speaker 23: their benchmark rate a quarter of a percentage point. Costco

23:25
Speaker 23: $ 58 per unit, which is up from the typical range
23:29
Speaker 23: near $ 30. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to

Speaker 23: Futures have dropped as the 10-year Treasury yield rises.
23:51
Speaker 13: That's your money now.
23:57
Speaker 3: The team's looking good this season.
23:58
Speaker 1: I think so.
23:59
Speaker 11: Man, I miss playing football.
24:01
Speaker 20: Ever since I turned 40, I just can't find that
24:03
Speaker 20: fire I used to have.
24:04
Speaker 3: Think it could be lower testosterone?
24:05
Speaker 10: What do you mean?
24:06
Speaker 3: I was feeling the same way. After 40, the body
24:08
Speaker 3: has less testosterone, and men lose their edge. That's why
24:10
Speaker 3: I take Nugenics Total T2. That's the testosterone booster, right? Yes,
24:13
Speaker 3: but Total T2 is their brand new formula that skyrockets
24:15
Speaker 3: nitric oxide levels in as little as three hours. Since
24:18
Speaker 3: I started taking it, I've been lifting like when we
24:19
Speaker 3: played for Coach Carter. My energy is way up, and
24:22
Speaker 3: it even spiced up things between me.
24:23
Speaker 1: And the missus.

26:04

Speaker 1: a handgun was easily viewable in the pocket on the
28:16
Speaker 1: back of the driver's seat. Another handgun was laying on
28:19
Speaker 1: the back seat and numerous rounds of ammunition were found
28:21
Speaker 1: wrapped in a ski mask. In the glove box, the driver,
28:25
Speaker 1: 21-year-old Jalion Jackson, was arrested for not wearing a seatbelt.
28:28
Speaker 1: He was released on a personal recognizance bond. It is
28:31
Speaker 1: Jackson's 10th time in the Brazos County Jail. 21-year-old Montavian
28:36
Speaker 1: Reed admitted that one of the guns was his. He
28:38
Speaker 1: was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon and not
28:40
Speaker 1: wearing a seatbelt. Reed was released on $ 5, 000 bond. It
28:44
Speaker 1: was his 6th time in the Brazos County Jail. 22-year-old
28:48
Speaker 1: Kenton King was arrested for not wearing a seatbelt and
28:51
Speaker 1: an outstanding warrant. He paid a few hundred dollars in
28:53
Speaker 1: association with the warrant and was released on a personal
28:56
Speaker 1: recognizance bond. It was his seventh time in the Brazos
28:59
Speaker 1: County Jail. 22-year-old Christian Black was arrested for not wearing
29:03
Speaker 1: a seatbelt and an outstanding warrant. He was granted a
29:06
Speaker 1: personal recognizance bond for his seatbelt violation, but he remains
29:10
Speaker 1: jailed on a $ 900 bond on the warrant for possession
29:13
Speaker 1: of marijuana. It's his third time in the Brazos County Jail.
29:17
Speaker 1: Brian Mayor Pro Tem James Edge joined our show yesterday
29:20
Speaker 1: morning to discuss his endorsement of James Tallarico. He said
29:24
Speaker 1: he's surprised by the amount of blowback, but that Paxton
29:27
Speaker 1: just isn't the right man for the job.
29:29
Speaker 25: Personally for me, this one, it stems from the fact
29:33
Speaker 25: that I think this is a very unique situation. I feel,
29:36
Speaker 25: you know, I've been frustrated for some time. I feel
29:38
Speaker 25: like we're racing to the bottom of the barrel with
29:40
Speaker 25: the people that we're nominating and many of the people
29:42
Speaker 25: that we're electing. You know, we've got an attorney general
29:46
Speaker 25: who has a long history of corruption, a long history
29:51
Speaker 25: of abuse of office, and the fact that he was
29:54
Speaker 25: nominated by my party to run for United States Senate,
29:57
Speaker 25: it's just something I could not reconcile.
29:59
Speaker 1: He says politicians, including Paxton, are introducing what he calls
30:03
Speaker 1: performative legislation.
30:05
Speaker 25: The things that we are expressing as the most important
30:09
Speaker 25: issues are not issues at all. They're things like this
30:14
Speaker 25: ridiculous assertion that the election was rigged. There's one gentleman
30:19
Speaker 25: that's trying to pass a bill to avoid furries in
30:22
Speaker 25: public schools so kids don't use litter boxes. It's just silly,
30:26
Speaker 25: performative things.
30:28
Speaker 1: You know, we've got our national.
30:30
Speaker 25: Debt just reached $ 40 trillion, and we don't have serious
30:33
Speaker 25: people representing us in Washington. And I see Ken Paxton
30:37
Speaker 25: as one of those performative individuals. I don't expect that
30:42
Speaker 25: he's going to do anything other than feed the base.
30:46
Speaker 1: You can hear the full interview with James Edge at WTAW.com.
30:50
Speaker 1: Diesel prices have hit an all-time high, and that's affecting
30:53
Speaker 1: truckers here in Texas.
30:55
Speaker 12: Here in Texas, diesel's now averaging $ 5.
30:57
Speaker 7: 83 a gallon.
30:57
Speaker 1: That's up 83 cents in the last month, up $ 2.
30:59
Speaker 12: 50 in the last year. And considering trucks deliver so much,
31:06
Speaker 12: when will that price trickle down and affect you and I,
31:09
Speaker 12: the consumers?
31:10
Speaker 17: Oh, you're seeing it already, and you will continue to
31:13
Speaker 17: see that. That's the thing. It's a bit of a
31:15
Speaker 17: lagging factor. This is the time of the year which
31:19
Speaker 17: Christmas is coming, and those things are being delivered currently.
31:23
Speaker 17: September is always really busy for the trucking industry today.
31:26
Speaker 12: That is John Esparza with the Texas Trucking Association. He
31:30
Speaker 12: says because of diesel prices, it may be quite a
31:32
Speaker 12: while before we get a break in grocery or any
31:35
Speaker 12: other retail prices. Russell Scott, TSN News.
31:39
Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says a Texas facility repurposing planes
31:45
Speaker 1: is creating new jobs. 650 employees. They want to grow
31:49
Speaker 1: to 800 employees.
31:50
Speaker 22: But this is an American innovative story where you can
31:53
Speaker 22: take an older passenger aircraft and turn it into a
31:56
Speaker 22: cargo aircraft.
31:57
Speaker 1: Secretary Duffy took Fox's The Will Cain Show on a
32:00
Speaker 1: tour of the facility at the Perot Field. At Fort
32:03
Speaker 1: Worth Alliance Airport, that has already generated over 600 new jobs,
32:07
Speaker 1: and manufacturers are looking at adding another 200. These are engineers.
32:11
Speaker 26: These are designers.
32:13
Speaker 1: These are machinists.
32:14
Speaker 18: These are welders, electricians.
32:16
Speaker 1: So every job in.
32:17
Speaker 2: The trades will work at a facility like this.
32:21
Speaker 1: It's all part of the White House's pledge to increase
32:23
Speaker 1: American manufacturing and innovation. Waymo's self-driving cars are running over
32:28
Speaker 1: pets in Texas. That's according to police reports in San Antonio.
32:33
Speaker 1: And experts say it is part of a mountain of
32:35
Speaker 1: evidence showing the autonomous vehicles are dangerous.
32:39
Speaker 6: I just don't think that we can keep giving Waymo
32:42
Speaker 6: the excuse of fringe issues for stuff that every 16-year-old
32:46
Speaker 6: driver is taught.
32:47
Speaker 1: Attorney Trey Gober says that San Antonio is not alone.
32:51
Speaker 1: In Dallas, there are videos of self-driving cars running red lights.
32:55
Speaker 1: In Houston, a Waymo was caught on camera making a
32:57
Speaker 1: close turn near an elementary school, nearly hitting a car.
33:01
Speaker 1: before entering the school's drop-off line. More news throughout the

33:55
Speaker 6: I don't know why I threw that in. All right,
33:57
Speaker 6: but let's get started with Aggieland Humane Society. Katrina, thank
34:00
Speaker 6: you so much for bringing me a cat.
34:01
Speaker 13: Thanks for having us this morning.
34:03
Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to go straight to the front of
34:05
Speaker 7: the line.
34:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tucker was like, Royce, we're going to go to
34:08
Speaker 1: the cat first.
34:09
Speaker 7: Royce, cat comes first.
34:10
Speaker 27: So this is my little foster baby who y'all met
34:13
Speaker 27: a couple weeks ago.
34:14
Speaker 7: She is so much bigger than the last.
34:15
Speaker 13: She's like tripled in size.
34:16
Speaker 10: Yeah, she is.
34:17
Speaker 13: It's crazy.
34:17
Speaker 27: And that just is a testament to how fast it
34:20
Speaker 27: is when you foster.
34:21
Speaker 13: It really, I mean, it goes by. So quickly. Later
34:24
Speaker 13: on today, she'll go in for her spay appointment.
34:26
Speaker 10: Really?
34:27
Speaker 12: I know.
34:27
Speaker 10: Oh, it's spay day.
34:29
Speaker 13: And then that's it.
34:30
Speaker 27: And then she's going to go get adopted. And, you know,
34:33
Speaker 27: it is it's sad because I do really love this kitty.
34:36
Speaker 27: Like we make special bonds with all of that. I mean,
34:39
Speaker 27: I know you foster a lot.
34:40
Speaker 11: Right.
34:40
Speaker 7: So, you know, it's it's horrible. And this is how
34:43
Speaker 7: it is. A big reason. All of my cats that
34:46
Speaker 7: I have have been foster failures. Like they're basically. No,
34:49
Speaker 7: they're the leftovers. Like, because what I'll do is I'll
34:52
Speaker 7: foster litters.
34:53
Speaker 10: Yeah.
34:54
Speaker 7: And then usually there will be one.
34:55
Speaker 13: There's always like one to hold over.
34:57
Speaker 7: The one that's, yeah, a hold over. Or the mom.
34:59
Speaker 19: Yeah.
34:59
Speaker 7: Or the mom occasionally stays. And those are.
35:02
Speaker 1: This is how you have a dozen cats.
35:05
Speaker 7: It's a dozen currently, but maybe permanently. We're not sure.
35:09
Speaker 17: You know.
35:10
Speaker 6: So, but again, yeah, it's it. But it's they do.
35:13
Speaker 6: It does go by really fast. So let's say that you.
35:16
Speaker 7: Want to foster kittens.
35:18
Speaker 3: Right.
35:18
Speaker 9: Right.
35:19
Speaker 6: And there are levels to it. Like if you want
35:20
Speaker 6: to do bottle babies, that's fine. That's going to be work.
35:23
Speaker 6: If you don't want to do bottle babies and they're
35:25
Speaker 6: weaned or they have a mom with them, guess what?
35:27
Speaker 6: You just kind of let them do their thing.
35:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
35:29
Speaker 7: Play with them.
35:30
Speaker 27: Honestly, as soon as she was off the bottle and
35:34
Speaker 27: that she was eating on her own, then it very
35:37
Speaker 27: quickly it falls in that then she was using the
35:39
Speaker 27: litter box on her own.
35:41
Speaker 10: And then.
35:41
Speaker 13: Now she's, you know, she's like a, I mean, she's
35:44
Speaker 13: not a full grown, but she's like a cat. She
35:45
Speaker 13: eats on her own. She goes to the bathroom.
35:47
Speaker 1: She's at that self-sufficient stage before they turn on you.
35:53
Speaker 1: In the best ways.
35:54
Speaker 6: But as you can see, she's sitting here with some
35:57
Speaker 6: very loud strangers.
35:58
Speaker 1: The eyes are a little bright right now, but she
36:01
Speaker 1: is very comfortable with you, Tucker.
36:04
Speaker 6: Fostering cats and kittens is a breeze. And it's really fun.
36:09
Speaker 6: If you have kids, a lot of times it's a
36:11
Speaker 6: cool thing for the kids.
36:11
Speaker 1: It's a good way to teach them responsibility, maybe for
36:14
Speaker 1: a future pet.
36:15
Speaker 10: Exactly.
36:15
Speaker 1: To get them into the group.
36:16
Speaker 7: And all you need to do. I believe you all
36:18
Speaker 7: pay for everything, too.
36:19
Speaker 28: We do.
36:19
Speaker 24: Yeah.
36:20
Speaker 27: So at Aggieland Humane, it's a really easy process. You
36:22
Speaker 27: go online on our website and fill out the application.
36:25
Speaker 27: And then we have a conversation from there. We say,
36:27
Speaker 27: what are you looking to foster? Do you want to
36:29
Speaker 27: do bottle babies? Where, yeah, it is a much more
36:32
Speaker 27: time-intense commitment of you have to get up with them
36:34
Speaker 27: throughout the night sometimes.
36:35
Speaker 17: Yeah.
36:36
Speaker 13: You know, until they get through that bottle phase. Or
36:39
Speaker 13: are you looking for a mom and babies? Do you
36:41
Speaker 13: want a singleton?
36:42
Speaker 27: Are you, you know, just like a temporary foster of saying, hey,
36:45
Speaker 27: you know, I could take something for a weekend. You know,
36:48
Speaker 27: we have some folks where their schedule is if they're,
36:50
Speaker 27: you know, they work maybe six days on and four
36:52
Speaker 27: days off. They'll foster during their four days off.
36:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a great thing, too. Yeah, there is a
36:57
Speaker 7: wonderful thing.
36:58
Speaker 13: So many options.
36:59
Speaker 27: And I'll say if cats aren't your thing, I get it.
37:02
Speaker 27: We also need dog fosters.
37:05
Speaker 7: Yes, you do.
37:05
Speaker 27: We have so many pets right now. We are very
37:09
Speaker 27: full at the shelter. It's the capacity has crept.
37:11
Speaker 13: Back up on us.
37:12
Speaker 27: And we know that, you know, everyone's students are back
37:15
Speaker 27: in town. We've got a lot of folks in town.
37:18
Speaker 27: If we can just get more folks to come in
37:19
Speaker 27: and foster or adopt, that would really help the life saving.
37:22
Speaker 6: Which is which is bonkers, because if you every weekend,
37:24
Speaker 6: they'll usually do a photo album of like all the
37:27
Speaker 6: people adopted.
37:28
Speaker 7: And it's not like a small number of people. It's
37:29
Speaker 7: like they're I mean, they are.
37:30
Speaker 6: But during the season, which I think there's not really
37:33
Speaker 6: a season, but there is also a season.
37:35
Speaker 25: Yeah.
37:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's packed. Like they have so many animals.
37:39
Speaker 6: And so if you have the opportunity to sign up
37:41
Speaker 6: as a foster, please do it. And I think they
37:43
Speaker 6: just go to the website, right?
37:44
Speaker 7: Yes.
37:45
Speaker 1: I'm on it right now, as a matter of fact,
37:47
Speaker 1: because I want to look over what dogs are still here. Oh,
37:49
Speaker 1: you got some cuties.
37:51
Speaker 13: We do. We really have a lot of cuties.
37:54
Speaker 27: And I will say this, we get all types of dogs.
37:57
Speaker 27: It's not just, you know, pit bulls and chihuahuas. We even,
38:01
Speaker 27: we get doodles. We get, you know, small little fluffy dogs.
38:04
Speaker 27: We have great Pyrenees, great Danes. I mean, we get everything.
38:08
Speaker 1: Your Pyrenees that you've had for a couple of weeks
38:10
Speaker 1: are no longer listed here.
38:12
Speaker 13: Bella and Chris.
38:13
Speaker 10: Yes.
38:13
Speaker 13: They got adopted.
38:14
Speaker 1: Congratulations, Bella and Chris.
38:16
Speaker 7: That is great news.
38:17
Speaker 13: And they got treated for heartworm disease. So even better.
38:21
Speaker 7: Everyone wins.
38:21
Speaker 13: Exactly. So there are so many ways to get involved
38:24
Speaker 13: with a lifesaving.
38:26
Speaker 27: You can check it out online, AggielandHumane.org or on social
38:29
Speaker 27: media at Aggieland Humane to see all of the pets
38:32
Speaker 27: and how you can serve the pets in our community.
38:35
Speaker 7: Katrina, thank you so much.
38:36
Speaker 13: Thank you.
38:37
Speaker 7: Royce, do you want a cat? Do you need a cat, man?
38:39
Speaker 19: No.
38:40
Speaker 6: No.
38:40
Speaker 10: I've had cats before.
38:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're wonderful. Yeah.
38:45
Speaker 28: No.
38:45
Speaker 10: They have a mind of their own usually.
38:47
Speaker 1: As this one is using Tucker as a climbing post
38:49
Speaker 1: at the moment.
38:50
Speaker 7: There we go. There we go. Yeah, she's great.
38:53
Speaker 10: I don't think she wanted to leave Tucker.
38:56
Speaker 12: No.
38:56
Speaker 10: Like she was clinging.
38:58
Speaker 1: If I was an animal looking for a home.
39:00
Speaker 16: Yeah.
39:01
Speaker 6: I do, yeah, it's a thing. I speak to them,
39:06
Speaker 6: and they speak to me.
39:07
Speaker 1: It's that big sucker tattoo on your forehead.
39:09
Speaker 7: Yes, it is. How are we doing today, Royce?
39:12
Speaker 10: I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
39:14
Speaker 7: Let's talk Chamber stuff.
39:15
Speaker 1: What do we got?
39:16
Speaker 10: Well, we've got a bunch of things, and it's kind of,
39:19
Speaker 10: you're going to think this is Frost Bank week.
39:21
Speaker 7: Okay, that's fine. We love Frost.
39:23
Speaker 10: First of all, this Friday, the 18th at 710 is
39:27
Speaker 10: our Lobster Fest.
39:28
Speaker 7: That's right.
39:29
Speaker 10: At the Brazos Center. Tickets are still available for $ 100.
39:34
Speaker 10: And then on Monday, the 21st, we have our Golf Classic,
39:40
Speaker 10: and that'll be out at Pebble Creek Country Club. And
39:43
Speaker 10: that whole package is sponsored by Frost Bank. Uh, and
39:48
Speaker 10: there are still some, if you're interested in golf, you
39:50
Speaker 10: need to call them. I'm not sure they still have
39:52
Speaker 10: anything available.
39:53
Speaker 8: Okay.
39:53
Speaker 10: I know if you, if you have a golf team,
39:56
Speaker 10: you get lobster fest tickets too. So it's kind of
39:59
Speaker 10: a nice package deal. And one thing, this is our
40:01
Speaker 10: major fundraiser of the year and it, it allows us
40:04
Speaker 10: to do things like our candidates forum, uh, our youth
40:08
Speaker 10: to career fair, things that we do that, benefit the
40:12
Speaker 10: community but we don't make money on exactly this is
40:15
Speaker 10: if you come into this helps us do that and
40:18
Speaker 10: then our business after hours this month is uh sponsored
40:20
Speaker 10: by frost bank and this is thursday the 24th next
40:25
Speaker 10: week 5 30 to 7 ish and it's their location
40:28
Speaker 10: out on highway 6 uh in the tar point.
40:32
Speaker 6: Good old south college station right great great location.
40:35
Speaker 10: Right and uh Anyway, and you don't have to be
40:38
Speaker 10: a chamber member to come to this. There's usually 250
40:41
Speaker 10: to 350 people that you can go around and talk
40:44
Speaker 10: about your business.
40:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all have never even kicked me out of one.
40:47
Speaker 10: That's right.
40:48
Speaker 1: And I'm not a chamberman.
40:49
Speaker 10: That's right.
40:50
Speaker 1: We came close a couple of times.
40:52
Speaker 7: A couple of times.
40:53
Speaker 1: Those were on me, though.
40:54
Speaker 7: Those were on me.
40:55
Speaker 10: We asked Tucker, and he said, yeah, kick him out.
40:57
Speaker 7: Yeah.
40:59
Speaker 10: But anyway, it's a great opportunity for you to learn
41:03
Speaker 10: more about the chamber, and we will not pressure you
41:05
Speaker 10: to join. Just come on out. And then our Youth
41:07
Speaker 10: to Career Fair, speaking of some of those events that
41:10
Speaker 10: you helped, is sponsored by Texas A & M University.
41:13
Speaker 10: That's Wednesday, October the 7th. And we're looking for businesses
41:16
Speaker 10: to come out and talk to 8th graders, and there
41:19
Speaker 10: is no fee for that.
41:20
Speaker 6: Now, walking through that case here, I remember this from
41:23
Speaker 6: years ago. What does it look like?
41:25
Speaker 7: What's your obligation?
41:26
Speaker 6: If you're a business and you want to get involved
41:27
Speaker 6: with this, what are you going to need to be
41:29
Speaker 6: able to do?
41:30
Speaker 10: You need to be able to be there from 9
41:32
Speaker 10: to 3 on Wednesday, October the 7th. and talked to 2,500
41:37
Speaker 10: 8th graders about, you know, and this is something that's
41:41
Speaker 10: really grown since I started this some years ago. We've
41:46
Speaker 10: had surrounding communities call us and say, our community's not
41:50
Speaker 10: large enough to do this. Can we come? And absolutely.
41:54
Speaker 10: But the idea is to help 8th graders understand as
41:57
Speaker 10: they start making, uh, elective choices in high school to
42:01
Speaker 10: be thinking about what they might want to do in
42:03
Speaker 10: the future.
42:04
Speaker 6: Cause you think about like when you decided some people
42:07
Speaker 6: it's later, but some people, yeah, it's around.
42:10
Speaker 11: Yeah.
42:10
Speaker 6: Some people's around eighth grade. They just kind of like
42:12
Speaker 6: see it and then, Oh, that's what I want to do.
42:15
Speaker 10: That's right. I wasn't one of them, but there are,
42:17
Speaker 10: you're exactly right. And, uh, Anyway, if you'd like to
42:21
Speaker 10: come out and join us for that, we would appreciate it.
42:23
Speaker 10: And then our Community Outreach Committee has their Minority Small
42:27
Speaker 10: Business Forum, sponsored by Frost Bank, Tuesday, October the 27th.
42:33
Speaker 10: This is 6 to 830 at the Brazos Center, and
42:35

50:41
Speaker 7: Be a wolf.
50:42
Speaker 10: Yeah.
50:43
Speaker 6: And yeah, I do love the fact that we have
50:44
Speaker 6: so many law enforcement and other groups in town that
50:47
Speaker 6: actually do really need these dogs.
50:50
Speaker 7: Really need. There's highly, highly valuable animals. Man, that's fantastic.
50:55
Speaker 1: There's another one up here.
50:56
Speaker 7: Boys, go pick them up. Pick them up now. What's
50:58
Speaker 7: the other one?
50:59
Speaker 1: Phantom is eyeballing me. Phantom is a male-neutered Catahoula leopard
51:04
Speaker 1: dog mix.
51:04
Speaker 7: Oh, I love Hoolies.
51:06
Speaker 1: So here's my deal. I love Hoolies. When I was
51:08
Speaker 1: exploring what kind of dogs I want in my life,
51:11
Speaker 1: there were a couple of them that were heritage dogs.
51:16
Speaker 1: So I looked at the Texas Blue Lacey.
51:18
Speaker 7: That's the state dog of Texas.
51:20
Speaker 1: The state dog of Texas because of my Texas heritage,
51:22
Speaker 1: which is half of my family.
51:23
Speaker 7: Also working dogs.
51:25
Speaker 27: Yep.
51:25
Speaker 1: The other is a Catahoula because they came from the
51:27
Speaker 1: same part of Louisiana that I did.
51:29
Speaker 7: Louisiana Swamp Dog.
51:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.
51:30
Speaker 7: Actually, a state dog in Louisiana.
51:32
Speaker 11: Yeah.
51:32
Speaker 7: Officially designated.
51:32
Speaker 1: So this dog phantom is staring at me with those
51:36
Speaker 1: gray eyes.
51:37
Speaker 7: It kind of looked like, it kind of looked at
51:39
Speaker 7: you with those eyes. It kind of looked dumb.
51:40
Speaker 1: I'm hypnotized.
51:41
Speaker 10: Yeah.
51:42
Speaker 6: No, I love, the best dog I ever had was
51:45
Speaker 6: a Catahoula named Dylan.
51:46
Speaker 7: Very smart. Very intelligent.
51:49
Speaker 6: And also very quirky at the same time. Dylan loved trash.
51:54
Speaker 6: Dylan could get into any trash can at any point
51:57
Speaker 6: in time. And Dylan would also know that she was
51:59
Speaker 6: not supposed to get in the trash can. So if
52:01
Speaker 6: you came home and you found trash all over the kitchen,
52:03
Speaker 6: you're like, Dylan. She would get ashamed.
52:07
Speaker 7: She would physically be like, I can't.
52:09
Speaker 10: I did it.
52:09
Speaker 7: I can't help it.
52:10
Speaker 27: It was me.
52:10
Speaker 1: I'm so guilty.
52:11
Speaker 7: She would like sneer. It was a whole thing. But yeah,
52:15
Speaker 7: she was the literal, literal sweetest dog.
52:18
Speaker 1: I do have Annie, and Annie is enough dog for anybody,
52:21
Speaker 1: even at 10 pounds. So I can't consider you.
52:23
Speaker 7: Well, look, I say it again.
52:24
Speaker 6: You know, we were talking with Aggie Landy Main, and
52:26
Speaker 6: it is... It is the time of year where they
52:30
Speaker 6: are full.
52:31
Speaker 1: It's right there on the website. They've got a little monitor.
52:34
Speaker 1: It's peaked.
52:35
Speaker 6: And, you know, again, I'm not saying go adopt an
52:38
Speaker 6: extra animal, but you do know if you're the person
52:40
Speaker 6: who's looking.
52:41
Speaker 7: For an extra animal or an animal.
52:43
Speaker 6: This is the time. Go and check out what they
52:46
Speaker 6: have over at Aggieland. You may know where there's dog
52:48
Speaker 6: or cats. They probably got one for you. If they don't,
52:50
Speaker 6: trust me. Just tell them what you're looking for. They
52:52
Speaker 6: will find you.
52:53
Speaker 1: They have had animals for me in the past that
52:56
Speaker 1: have been great animals. I don't need that Catahoula.
52:59
Speaker 6: I don't need that Catahoula.
53:02
Speaker 7: Well, you have to listen to your heart when it's
53:04
Speaker 7: calling for you.
53:05
Speaker 1: Is that a song?
53:06
Speaker 30: It is.
53:06
Speaker 16: Yeah.
53:07
Speaker 7: So we're talking karaoke. We'll tie it all the way back.
53:08
Speaker 1: Speaking of karaoke.
53:09
Speaker 31: Yeah.
53:09
Speaker 1: Jason just texted. Will, how about a Dolly sing along
53:12
Speaker 1: this week? No, no. No, Jason.
53:13
Speaker 7: No, Jason. I can't. No, no, no. We're going to
53:16
Speaker 7: leave that for the pros.
53:18
Speaker 6: Uh, but yes, uh, if you, if you can't adopt
53:21
Speaker 6: an animal and you really want to help them out
53:23
Speaker 6: and I really want to help them out and you've
53:26
Speaker 6: got some.
53:27
Speaker 7: Room, you have a house.
53:28
Speaker 1: And even if it's just days, just days.
53:30
Speaker 10: Yeah.
53:30
Speaker 6: To look into the fostering thing. I fostering is one
53:33
Speaker 6: of my favorite ways. Cause I mean, look, I'm an
53:35
Speaker 6: animal person. I love, I love animals. I love, it's
53:37
Speaker 6: a great way to get back. Like it's an easy
53:39
Speaker 6: way to get back for me to foster. I would
53:42
Speaker 6: challenge you that you will probably really become addicted to
53:46
Speaker 6: it and get into it.
53:47
Speaker 1: I did one time. I think it was the animals.
53:50
Speaker 1: It was the most uncontrollable and. and messed-up genetically chihuahuas
53:54
Speaker 1: you've ever met in your life.
53:55
Speaker 7: You've got Tanzanian devils.
53:57
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, their teeth were all going different directions.
54:01
Speaker 1: It was like a Ren and Stimpy sort of thing.
54:02
Speaker 7: Some people like that.
54:03
Speaker 1: Some people are into that. There was nothing likable about
54:05
Speaker 1: these dogs.
54:06
Speaker 19: All right.
54:07
Speaker 6: Well, either way, agulandumay.org is the website. Please go check
54:09
Speaker 6: them out because, yeah, it's crazy time. Crazy time in
54:12
