  Speaker 1: window several times before they could awaken him from his slumber.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: They observed that the man was sweating profusely, even though
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the ambient temperature was approximately 63 degrees at the time.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Ozoes appeared disoriented, spoke slowly, and had a disconnected gaze

  Speaker 3: Department of Energy Deputy Secretary James Danley will be in

  Speaker 3: College Station to make an announcement that will advance President
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Trump's plan to strengthen the next generation of American nuclear energy.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: It may have to do with the Trump administration's plan
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to quadruple the nation's nuclear power capacity by 2050. It
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: also might have to do with the Texas state legislature

  Speaker 3: last year creating the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: a $ 350 million nuclear development fund.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: President Trump repeated a joke he's told several times about
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz while campaigning for Ken Paxton in Texas.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: The president has long believed he would not get any
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: pushback from the Senate if he decided to nominate Cruz
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Ted is a brilliant guy, brilliant lawyer, brilliant all that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Went to law school, top student, everything, top credentials. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: said I have an answer to not being able to
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: get it passed, the Democrats or the Republicans together. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: would pick Ted Cruz to be the next Supreme Court justice.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But the president says it's because both Democrats and Republicans
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: simply cannot stand Cruz and want him out of the Senate.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Cruz laughed and shrugged. Cruz laughed and shrugged his shoulders
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: at the rally when Trump spoke of the idea. More
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: news on the way at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: What is the weather supposed to be for Election Day?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I've got a 60% chance of rain in the forecast
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for Tuesday. I haven't really, because this is the first
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing about perhaps inclement weather.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: What looks like here is that it's... Clement weather?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: It doesn't look great, but it doesn't look awful.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Showers and thundershowers. I'm not seeing the potential of severe weather.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: Let's see what the low is on Tuesday night.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: 72, yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's dead. Look, all that said, if I already
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: had 5 to 6 million Texans who have done early voting...
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: I think if I was running a campaign or not
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: a campaign running a polling operation, I'd be trying to
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: get as many people through early as I could, too,
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: because Tuesday is going to be a day. It's going
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: to be a day based on what early voting traffic
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: has been. But then again, some of you guys like
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: having a day when it comes to that. Some of
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: y'all like doing the whole, I mean, it's one of
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: those lines you like waiting in.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Your employer has to give you the time off to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: go vote. That's true. You might as well go where
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you have to be away from work the longest.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I think that that makes a lot of sense. You
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: can also bring a chair. You could bring food. you
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: could bring something to stream and you could have a
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: nice little day.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Why aren't we selling barbecue in the parking lots of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: these places? We can sell some tacos out there, man.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Sure, is that? Okay, so I know what you can't do.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: I know there's the things that you can't do.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Right, as long as it's not branded for any candidates.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: I can't politically try to influence your decision. in any way, shape,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: or form, which is how it should be. But yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: can't I?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I don't see any food truck limitations there.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what's stopping you? Like, I think that's a great idea.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Do you know back in the day, like back in
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: the day, election day used to be a party? It
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: used to be a rager. They would get, like, they
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: would set up markets and everything because everyone would come
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: in from the country into town.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was your time to, yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So it was a great chance to, you know.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Hit up a bar or go see some friends.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Or bring some of your wares from your farm.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Buy a new mule, whatever it was. I think that
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: would be ideal. I'm sure someone would have some complaints
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Well, but people are going to complain about anything.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: No one's going to complain about tacos if you're standing
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: in an alarm.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Somebody would complain about the taco.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Just because somebody's going to complain about something.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: It's almost worth doing to find the person that would
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: complain about tacos.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And point at them and laugh?
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we should know who that person is. If I
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: can't trust you to just enjoy a nice taco on
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: a 75-degree day in Texas....
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: That's troubling.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You should give them a shirt and make them wear
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it that says, I hate tacos.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Troubling, sir or ma'am. I don't like it. But yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: so all that said, today... Not bad. 20% chance of rain.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Is that inclement?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It's clement to me. I got some rain yesterday.
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: What?
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You got a pretty good rain yesterday afternoon. It was
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: raining at my house and not at my neighbor's house.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: It was a very striped shower.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: What are we getting up to today? 81 down to
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: 62 tonight. And then, yeah, rain chances kind of start
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: popping up. More consistency. Not bad. It's a Thursday. You
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: know what that means. Allegedly a good show today.

• 9:23
  Speaker 13: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 9:26
  Speaker 13: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 9:30
  Speaker 13: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 9:33
  Speaker 13: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 9:36
  Speaker 13: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 9:39
  Speaker 13: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 9:42
  Speaker 13: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 9:47
  Speaker 13: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 9:51
  Speaker 13: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
• 9:57
  Speaker 13: the people. That means judges should be accountable. rules should
• 10:00
  Speaker 13: be clear, and the system should be accessible to those
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Means more than a principle.
• 10:08
  Speaker 13: It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 13: afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Clear rules. Accountable courts.
• 10:17
  Speaker 13: Equal justice under law.

  Speaker 6: Please feel free to hit us up anytime. Let's talk
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: about reasons to celebrate today because, man, a couple of
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: things we need to hit. Some are more important than others.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Some are more important to some than others.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: I would think it's more important to some today. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: would say that if this isn't an important day to you,
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: perhaps you just need to. live a little bit different?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Well, no. What I'm saying is, and I'm sure you're
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: going to hit it pretty quickly here, that it's National
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Cat Day.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: No, that's first on the list.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And you're very much a cat person.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Very much.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Now, I like cats. I've owned a cat.
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: My wife is allergic to cats, so we can't have
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: cats now. But I'm much more a dog person than
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a cat person is what I'm trying to say.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: So you owned a cat, but you're still a dog person.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: What did you not like? Or what was, you know...
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: It wasn't that.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I did not like the cat that I had. Whiskey
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: was a great cat. Oh, Whiskey the cat. And I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: was a kid when I had Whiskey because my father,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the world-renowned landscape horticulturist, had a dog when he was
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a kid. He thought they were all stupid... And on
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: top of that, dogs and landscapes.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: They don't mix.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They don't mix.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: They don't mix.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I was relegated to a cat. And like
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I said, whiskey was cool. Had whiskey for 14 years.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Big part of my early childhood.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: However, you know, cats are just going to be cats.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: Cats are going to be cats. I think that's why
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: I like cats so much.
• 12:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Is because they just kind of do their thing. And
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: this is the thing. Like, it depends, I guess, what
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: you want out of a pet. because if you want
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: something that's going to brighten your day every single day,
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: there's a really good chance if you get a dog,
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: the dog will do that. The cat is 50-50. But
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: because of that, whenever the cat does choose to come over.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: To you, it makes it.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: So much better. It makes it so much better. It's
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: kind of more like a roommate situation. Not really, because
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: you're still having to clean up after them and, like,
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: empty their, you know, deal with their poop.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I've had roommates like that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: So maybe closer than we think. But yes, it is
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: National Cat Day. Cats have recently, I want to say,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: passed up dogs in terms of the animal there is
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: the most of domestically.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's where our pets go. But this was founded
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: in 2005 by animal welfare advocates to promote cat adoption
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: and raise awareness about cats in shelters. Also a cool
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: little tidbit. Uh, you can have as many cat, you
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: have a hundred cats. I wouldn't, maybe not a hundred,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: but you'd have 10 so much different than 10 dogs.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, for sure.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Holy cow. Like you can, this is one of the
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: things where you get the crazy cat lady from, because
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: you can accumulate them so quickly. And with that, then
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: you look up and it's like, how did I get
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: this many cats? You're looking at me like I'm crazy.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: This could be a me problem. Um, the oldest verified
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: cat in history is a Texan.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Cream Puff, the cat, out of Austin, Texas, lived to
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: be 38 years old.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: 38-year-old cat. And it was documented. I don't know how
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: old Cream Puff is. It could be as old as 38.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: It was documented. 38 years and three days was the
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: official age of Cream Puff when Cream Puff passed.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: That is insane. Did Cream Puff look like a mummy
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: by that point in time?
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: I've never seen a picture, but had to have. I mean,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: unless you found the one ring or something like that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: I don't see how that would have happened.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. I know my 14-year-old cat looked
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: road hard and put up wet by the time he
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: went down.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: It's a long... I've got two 14-year-olds that look great.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: They're not making it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: willing love to see them make it to 38 but
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: i come on man that's for.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Almost a 40 year old cat.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: Insane they also spend 12 to 16 hours a day
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: sleeping which i'm really jealous of sounds like a great
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: way to live national oatmeal day contentious contentious i'm yeah
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: i some people love it that some people you know
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: for health reasons obviously i don't love it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Now if i'm camping and it's a Brisk, cold, wet,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: damp morning or whatever, a bowl of oatmeal is not
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a bad thing.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Oatmeal with stuff, right?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to put flavor in it.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Because it's otherwise, it's just.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's paste.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: It's literally gruel. But yeah, so those are the two
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: I got.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: That's it, huh?
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: No, no, wait, one more. I did want to get
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: to World Stroke Day. Established to improve awareness of stroke prevention, treatment,
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: and recovery. Will probably knows this. I just feel like
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: this seems like something.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: You would know.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: BE FAST.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: FAST is the acronym. Okay.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: What does it stand for?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: If you....
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: It's a credit that I think you would know this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: If you don't know it, don't worry. I sure as
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: heck don't. I know what symptoms to look for, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly where they fall in the acronym.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Give me the symptoms. So you want to look for
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: things like numbness in the face or extremities. You want
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to look for not being able to control muscles in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: certain places, groups and that sort of thing, especially split
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: side to side.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: You want to look for speech difficulties and confusion.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: I'm going to give it to you. Balance, eyes, face, arms, speech,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: and time. The only reason time's on there is because
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: you need to call 911 immediately.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Because the faster you can get treatment for a stroke,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: they have drugs that they can give you.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Got it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That will help mitigate any damage, long-term damage.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, minutes matter. So, again, a great time to review
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: and be aware of the signs because, man, you never know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: You never know whose life you could save. Birthdays, what
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: do we got?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Birthdays for today, let's start with Italia Ricci. She is

  Speaker 1: De Niro's son, Denny, in Meet the Parents. Ah, yes.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's been in other things, too. Because a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: lot of times they don't list the other things.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: He's been in a few things. I couldn't tell you
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: what any of them were, but I've seen that kid before.
• 17:07

• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Guys.

• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Well, look, let's just say this. Winona Ryder from the
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: 90s is turning whatever today. But yes, she technically was Joyce.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: 55 years old today.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Joyce Byers as well and did a great job and
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: made Netflix a whole lot of money.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Randy Jackson is 65. Not the American Idol Randy Jackson.
• 17:43

  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've never.

• 17:55
  Speaker 1: He's 69 years old today. He's Homer. He's the voice
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: of Homer. Homer, that's right. Also does Grandpa Simpson, Barney Gumbel.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Krusty the Clown, Groundskeeper Willie, one of my favorite voices.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: One of the most iconic characters in cartoon.

• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of those voices.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Still out here at 79.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: 69.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: 69.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Good night.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And we've had a slew, I think, recently of birthdays
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: from one TV show, Charlie's Angels. Yes, we did. We
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: continue that today. Kate Jackson is 78 years old today.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: They literally all have birthdays right around each other.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Don't you know that was fun week on set, right?
• 18:30
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Richard Dreyfuss is 79 years old today. Been in so
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: many things. Couple of notables from the stiffs category.
• 18:38
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Born on this date in 1942. Bob Ross.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: The legend.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Happy little mistakes. No mistakes, happy little accidents.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a fascinating life. And also a lot of
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: grief after he died over who gets the rights to
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: the Bob Ross thing. But a lot of people say
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: that Bob Ross has been exploited since the day he died.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, but I know that a number of his
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: paintings were sold to fund public television in a lot
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of places.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Certainly are.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: So there's maybe some good things to that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, there are so many. Bob did so many good things.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: And again, has been an inspiration to people painting since,
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: I mean, what, 50 years now, maybe not more. And still,
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: there's many people, there's many kids that will sit out
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: there and learn from watching old Bob Ross episodes as
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: probably there were back when he recorded them originally.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Probably live on the Internet forever.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: They absolutely do.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: One more, and this one's kind of interesting for me.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Born in 1955, lead singer of Quiet Riot, Kevin Dubrow.
• 19:49
  Speaker 15: Oh, wow.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Can you picture him in your head?
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know that guy.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Come on, feel the noise.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's who I was thinking of.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: So at one point in time, I actually did a
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: radio show from Austin on a station WSTZ in Jackson, Mississippi. Okay.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I went out there to visit the market because that's
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: what we did. And I met the midday gal who
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: was Kevin Dubrow's ex-wife. Wait, what? Yeah, she was married
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to him for some time.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: How long?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but we had some very interesting conversations
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: about him. And she said that really the only thing
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: she got out of the divorce was his entire wig collection.
• 20:27
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Yes, because he had very, very specific hair.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Very specific hair.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: And that was fake hair is what you're saying.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm saying that was fake hair.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: There was no part of it. He was just a
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: bald man.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what he looked like under the wig. However,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I do know that she wanted to hurt him, so
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: she got the wigs.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Absolutely incredible.
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: Oh, man.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: I would love to hear more about what that situation
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: was like.
• 20:56
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: Tooth!
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: Really, go back and watch the video and then just
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: picture that being a tooth. Picture that being not legitimate.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: That's a full woolly mammoth, man. That's not a tooth.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: It was kind of crazy. But yeah, what an anthem.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I remember that was the first metal that really grabbed me.
• 21:20

• 35:21
  Speaker 6: us what the secret was to Cream Puff, which is
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: the almost 40-year-old cat.
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Lived in Austin. We were discussing earlier when I was
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: talking about his National Cat Day. He says the secret
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: to her longevity was a glass of wine every day.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I looked that up because that's one of those
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: things you got to fact check.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: That feels suspicious.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: And it's not quite true. Her owner, Jake, fed her
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: dry cat food supplemented with eggs, turkey, bacon, broccoli. coffee
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: with cream, and an eyedropper full of red wine every
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: two days.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: So he was legitimately giving the cat wine every couple
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: of days to get some wine.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: And veterinarians and animal poison control groups will note that
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: both alcohol and caffeine are toxic to cats.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: Yes, this is very important to remember.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Just keep that in mind.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: Also, I did want to acknowledge that I missed a
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: day of celebration and reasons to celebrate, and that would
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: be Happy Internet Day.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Believe it or not.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: Do you want to go back to a time before
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: the Internet for a second?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Kind of.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: Or 1994 from the Today Show.
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: What is Internet anyway?
• 36:35
  Speaker 18: Internet is that massive computer network, the one that's becoming
• 36:40
  Speaker 18: really big now.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: What do you mean that's big?
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: How does one know what do you write to it
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: like mail?
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: A lot of that going around back in 93, 94.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago, was it? Because it doesn't
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: feel like it was that long ago to me.
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Well, it wasn't. You know.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, 30 years.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: It was a long time.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember those days.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: It was a long time.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: It was a simpler time.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: It was a wonderful time to be alive.
• 37:07
  Speaker 25: It was.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: Before I figured out how to use that thing. And,
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: you know, still, pluses. It's made our lives better in
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: some areas.
• 37:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: And others, maybe not so much. Can I bring up
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the other little nugget that we discovered there? Yes, please.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: As we were talking about Kevin Dubrow from Quiet Riot,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: his birthday.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And the fact that a person I had met, his ex-wife,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: had his wig collection. So I was going back to
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: try to find photographs.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: Of the rise and fall of Kevin Dubrow's head of hair.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: What I discovered... was this you ever watch the tv
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: show botched with the plastic surgeons absolutely yeah yeah great
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: show great show dr terry dubrow kevin's brother is he
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: really kevin's brother grew up in the same house a
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: few years apart they weren't really close there at the
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: end oh my word well Wow. Now that I look
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: at them side by side, I'm like, yeah, that's it.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, then it makes sense.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: Let's talk about some Halloween stuff. Primarily, and I found
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: this interesting, 62% of people say adults should get their
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: own adult Halloween night.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: That Halloween should actually be a multi-day celebration.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Sure, why not?
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: Because.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Who am I to stomp on a celebration? Yeah, and
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you had to ask me what kind
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: of holiday it is, I'd say, look, you can have
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: a great time doing anything for Halloween, but it's really
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: probably more for the kids. Trick-or-treating, kids love dressing up
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: and just stuff like that. It's a little bit of
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: a kid's holiday, but adults want to claim it for themselves,
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: especially if they can get a day off.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Of work for it.
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: 70% of Americans say they believe that Halloween is not
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: a kid's holiday, and this is much of an adult.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: 81% of parents agree Halloween belongs to grown-ups, too. We're
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: just as entitled to be able to cut loose. And
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: they think it should be a national holiday. Giving you, again,
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: a day off of work, just like Memorial Day, Independence Day,
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: and Christmas Day.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take the day off after Halloween this week.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, I would be weird if you didn't.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Right? Kind of crazy the way it all lines up, though,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: with the extra hour. Not that I'm going to be.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: up at 2 a.m. when the time shifts. You never know, though.
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: Gross. But again, we talked about this yesterday. What are
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: you supposed to do as an adult for Halloween? What
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: do you do? And I'm not talking about a college student,
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: although those are adults.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Once you get, what do you do?
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because Northgate has, it's a recommended cutoff age.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what's your, sure, exactly.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: And you definitely can go and be the old guy
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: at Northgate.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: If you want to be Creeper, yeah, that's fine. You
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: can do it. Not recommended.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: So what do you do for Halloween?
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: What do you do?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm doing.
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: Do you have plans?
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: So I decided, you know, I mentioned this, that I said, Honey,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: we should have a little barbecue on Halloween. Have some
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: friends over to the house. I'll cook. I'll have just
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: a little gathering. Because our kids are all... My youngest
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: is a senior in high school. She's not going to
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: be with us.
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: You're not going trick-or-treating anyone. You have the schedule clear.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a pretty perfect setup, but of
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: course it was shot down. Because the ladies in our
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: group wanted to go out and do something. So we are.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: We're going to go out and do something.
• 40:41
  Speaker 22: Now.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Several years ago, decade plus maybe, it was a rainy
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Halloween night and it was cold. And the kids decided
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: that they were kind of iffy about trick-or-treating.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: So the wife and I suggested that we instead, and
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: in their costumes, go out and grab a nice dinner.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: So we went a decade or so ago to the Republic,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: took the kids, went to the Republic for dinner.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: In costume?
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: In costume. In costume. Did you dress up, too? No, no, no.
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, the kids.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: The kids were in costume.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: So much better.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: That was awesome.
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: So much better.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I rekindled that memory. Okay. And so, yeah, we've got
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: a reservation Saturday night. I love it.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Are you going to dress up? Are you going to
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: be in costume for this?
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: There's other places afterwards that they talked about going where
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: there would be costumes.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Look, about the best you're going to get out of
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: me is a cowboy because I can wear what I got.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, there you go.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Just easy peasy. But I don't know that we're going
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: to do that. Right now, the only thing that's set
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: in stone is dinner.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Post-dinner.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: It has been suggested and moved and seconded on my
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: behalf that we go to the Dave and Buster's.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: Dave and Buster's Halloween would be an excellent opportunity.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: Try it out.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be stacked. Yeah, but still, that's pretty good.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: They've got some specials going on.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: That's pretty good.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: So I'll go give it a try.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: You know, if you have other options, if you are
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: planning to celebrate Adult Halloween and want to tell us
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: how you are celebrating.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I'd like to hear the options. Please. 979-695-1620.

• 44:11
  Speaker 25: fertile loam dot com as we begin to talk about
• 44:15
  Speaker 25: changing grade we must acknowledge that clay soils accept water
• 44:18
  Speaker 25: more slowly than sands as a result when heavy rains
• 44:21
  Speaker 25: extend over a period of time we're very likely to
• 44:24
  Speaker 25: see puddling especially in those clay soils And that's not
• 44:28
  Speaker 25: what we're concerned about. The bigger problem comes when the
• 44:30
  Speaker 25: water stands there two or three or five days after
• 44:33
  Speaker 25: the rain has let up. Before we go any farther,
• 44:36
  Speaker 25: we need to identify a term known as.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: The water table.
• 44:40
  Speaker 25: To explain, if you were to dig a post hole
• 44:42
  Speaker 25: four inches wide and 15 to 20 inches deep, immediately
• 44:46
  Speaker 25: after one of those heavy soaking rains, you would expect
• 44:49
  Speaker 25: the hole to fill up with water. If you watched
• 44:52
  Speaker 25: the hole over the next day or two, you probably
• 44:54
  Speaker 25: would see the water level drop. Its level in the
• 44:57
  Speaker 25: hole is exactly the same as the level in the soil,
• 45:00
  Speaker 25: and that level is known.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: As the water table. Every pore space that.
• 45:05
  Speaker 25: Normally would be filled with essential air, specifically oxygen, below
• 45:09
  Speaker 25: that water level would be filled instead with water. The
• 45:13
  Speaker 25: higher the long-term water table, the more difficult it is
• 45:15
  Speaker 25: to grow most plants. Their roots literally will rot due
• 45:19
  Speaker 25: to the lack of oxygen in the soil's pore space.
• 45:22
  Speaker 25: The next step, should you determine that the soils are
• 45:25
  Speaker 25: staying too wet, is to develop a plan of attack
• 45:28
  Speaker 25: for the water. Identify its source. Where is it coming from?
• 45:32
  Speaker 25: Is it coming from the roof? If so, upgrade your
• 45:34
  Speaker 25: guttering and downspout system. Is it coming from adjacent property?
• 45:38
  Speaker 25: If so, erect a berm to deflect the water away
• 45:41
  Speaker 25: from your property or install grade-level drains. They're inexpensive, made
• 45:46
  Speaker 25: from green plastic. They fit into 4-inch PVC pipe. Carry
• 45:51
  Speaker 25: the runoff to a storm sewer or ditch and you
• 45:53
  Speaker 25: are home free. If the area is simply too low,
• 45:57
  Speaker 25: consider raising it. If you can do that without damaging
• 45:59
  Speaker 25: trees and shrubs whose roots would be covered, you should
• 46:03
  Speaker 25: never add more than one inch of new soil over
• 46:05
  Speaker 25: more than 25 to 30 percent of the roots of
• 46:08
  Speaker 25: any tree or shrub. There actually are times when an
• 46:11
  Speaker 25: area is just lower than all its surroundings. It may
• 46:14
  Speaker 25: very well be that you simply cannot add any soil.
• 46:17
  Speaker 25: Those are times to have a French drain installed below grade.
• 46:21
  Speaker 25: These are from the same basic concept that is used
• 46:23
  Speaker 25: by farmers who tile the waterlogged fields, and it really
• 46:27
  Speaker 25: does carry the water away. You're looking up French drains.
• 46:30
  Speaker 25: A landscape contractor can put one in for you. It
• 46:33
  Speaker 25: takes very little fall to be efficient. They work well.

  Speaker 21: What's more important than the children of this state?
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 46:49
  Speaker 21: And yet, if a child has been raped, even by incest,
• 46:52
  Speaker 21: and they're pregnant, they are forced to give birth. If
• 46:54
  Speaker 21: their life is endangered, they are forced to risk their
• 46:57
  Speaker 21: life all too often. If a child's parents don't have
• 46:59
  Speaker 21: their papers, they are forced into a cage. And of course,
• 47:02
  Speaker 21: where are most of our children? They're in public schools.
• 47:05
  Speaker 21: And what are being defunded by our state legislature?
• 47:07

  Speaker 27: three in three of their four team tournaments this fall,
• 49:04
  Speaker 27: which wraps up this weekend at the Steelwood Collegiate outside Mobile.
• 49:09

  Speaker 27: a 5-30 matchup against the Texas State Bobcats at Davis Diamond.
• 49:32
  Speaker 27: The Aggies are coming off a 10-inning 19-3 victory over
• 49:35
  Speaker 27: McLennan Community College Highlanders, in which the Maroon and White
• 49:39
  Speaker 27: collected 18 hits. On the mound, five pitchers combined for
• 49:44
  Speaker 27: 13 strikeouts against just three walks. The Aggie cross-country teams
• 49:48
  Speaker 27: are on the road and traveling to Columbia, Missouri for

  Speaker 27: the 2026 SEC Cross-Country Championships that take place tomorrow at

  Speaker 27: The A & M women's basketball team is just four
• 50:07
  Speaker 27: days shy of the start of the 2026-27 season. The
• 50:10
  Speaker 27: Ags will open their season at Reed Arena on Monday
• 50:13
  Speaker 27: night against UAPB. Head coach Joni Taylor spoke about what
• 50:17
  Speaker 27: she learned about her team in the closed scrimmages they've
• 50:20
  Speaker 27: had recently.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: We're resilient.
• 50:22
  Speaker 14: We're fearless competitors. We've had some other players who will
• 50:26
  Speaker 14: be available on Monday but who did not play in
• 50:29
  Speaker 14: our three scrimmages just to take care of their bodies
• 50:31
  Speaker 14: and neck injuries that we don't want to get worse
• 50:34
  Speaker 14: before we start playing. And so we played our three
• 50:37
  Speaker 14: scrimmages with six scholarship players and two walk-ons and just
• 50:41
  Speaker 14: had a really, really good competitive spirit about us. I
• 50:45
  Speaker 14: think it gave some of our players a ton of
• 50:47
  Speaker 14: minutes that they needed to have. It allowed them to
• 50:50
  Speaker 14: push through some things. So we're excited to have everybody
• 50:53
  Speaker 14: back and healthy. But I learned that we are just,
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: we're what we want to be in terms of our
• 50:58
  Speaker 14: toughness and our resiliency.
