Speaker 1: man is being held on over a half million dollars
0:18
Speaker 1: bond after a drug arrest Saturday. College Station police were
0:22
Speaker 1: making a traffic stop in the 500 block of University
0:25
Speaker 1: Drive East just before 1.30 Saturday morning. Their suspicions were
0:28
Speaker 1: aroused when the driver seemed excessively nervous. 27-year-old Brian Roman
0:33
Speaker 1: of Bryan refused consent for officers to search his vehicle.
0:37
Speaker 1: After a canine alerted from outside his vehicle, officers were
0:40
Speaker 1: able to conduct a probable cause search that revealed over
0:43
Speaker 1: four pounds of marijuana, more than 500 Xanax, over 900
0:46
Speaker 1: units of LSD, more than 150 THC vape cartridges, and
0:47
Speaker 1: over 1,300 grams of Adderall. Nearly $ 6, 000 in cash was

Speaker 1: also confiscated. Roman was charged with seven counts of manufactured
1:00
Speaker 1: delivery of a controlled substance, three counts of possession of
1:03
Speaker 1: a controlled substance, and one count of possession of marijuana.
1:07
Speaker 1: His bond was set at $ 640, 000, but he is also
1:10
Speaker 1: being held on an ICE detainer. ICE agents conducting an
1:14
Speaker 1: operation in Bryan contacted 911 after they encountered aggressive drivers.
1:19
Speaker 1: The Brazos County Sheriff's Office says the ICE agents contacted
1:23
Speaker 1: Brazos County 911 just before noon on Saturday, reporting that
1:26
Speaker 1: they were being followed by several individuals who were driving
1:29
Speaker 1: recklessly and attempting to block the path of their vehicles.
1:32
Speaker 1: Agents met members of the Sheriff's Office and the Bryan
1:35
Speaker 1: Police Department at the Brazos County Jail. The Sheriff's Office
1:38
Speaker 1: and Bryan PD said they were not involved in the
1:41
Speaker 1: ICE operation. A woman crashed into a fire truck near
1:44
Speaker 1: Northgate over the weekend. The College Station Police and Fire
1:47
Speaker 1: Departments were on the scene of a wreck on Welburn
1:49
Speaker 1: near University just after 2.30 a.m. Saturday morning. The fire
1:53
Speaker 1: truck was blocking a lane of traffic to allow responders
1:56
Speaker 1: to safely work the scene. That's when 21-year-old Kylie Davis
2:00
Speaker 1: of Midland drove her pickup into the fire truck. No
2:03
Speaker 1: one was injured, but the impact was enough to cause
2:06
Speaker 1: significant damage to the fire truck's bumper. Davis failed a
2:09
Speaker 1: field sobriety test and was charged with driving while intoxicated.
2:13
Speaker 1: She was released Sunday on $ 5, 000 bond. One man is

2:20
Speaker 1: an argument Saturday night in Bryan. Reports say 35-year-old David

Speaker 1: Lamb and 49-year-old Christopher Alvarado were involved in a verbal
2:28
Speaker 1: altercation outside of the Los Cucos on Highway 6 near
2:31
Speaker 1: Boonville Road just after 9 o'clock Saturday night. Lamb says
2:35
Speaker 1: that Alvarado threw a drink at his vehicle. Alvarado says
2:38
Speaker 1: Lamb tried to run him off the road. Both men
2:41
Speaker 1: ended up outside of their vehicles in the restaurant parking
2:44
Speaker 1: lot where Lamb was pepper sprayed by Alvarado. Lamb says
2:47
Speaker 1: he unholstered his handgun only after he was pepper sprayed.
2:51
Speaker 1: Alvarado claims he responded after Lamb drew his weapon. After
2:54
Speaker 1: interviewing both men, police arrested Lamb for aggravated assault with
2:58
Speaker 1: a deadly weapon and Alvarado was released from the scene.
3:01
Speaker 1: Lamb is being held on $ 50, 000 bond. Lamb has previous
3:05
Speaker 1: offenses for evading arrest, theft under $ 500 and unlawful carrying
3:09

5:26
Speaker 7: can text us on that same number at any point. Weather,
5:31
Speaker 7: we have mentioned it several times. Today is going to
5:34
Speaker 7: be dry. That's great. Usual thing, we all get 100 degrees,
5:39
Speaker 7: heat index like crazy. But tomorrow, we have no idea.
5:43
Speaker 7: All we know is a 40% chance of rain. Then
5:45
Speaker 7: we're getting up to like the low to mid 90s.
5:47
Speaker 1: That's just by itself a blessing.
5:49
Speaker 7: Which is great. And that's going to be what we're
5:52
Speaker 7: going to deal with for the rest of the week.
5:53
Speaker 7: Thank goodness. Every single day. About a coin flips chance
5:57
Speaker 7: of getting some tropical showers, thunderstorms, whatever. And that's kind
6:01
Speaker 7: of where they're keeping it because no one knows what's
6:03
Speaker 7: going to happen with any one of these storms. So
6:05
Speaker 7: we wait and we see. Weather is brought to you
6:07
Speaker 7: by Malik's Service Company. The Tex Heat Air Conditioner works overtime,
6:10
Speaker 7: but a well-tuned AC will save you money and keep
6:12
Speaker 7: you comfortable. Turn to the experts at Malik & Carrier
6:14
Speaker 7: to keep your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference.
6:17
Speaker 1: Do have this alert that was sent out over the weekend, actually,
6:20
Speaker 1: on Friday from TexDot. And I will read it verbatim
6:23
Speaker 1: for you.
6:23
Speaker 7: Yes, please.
6:24
Speaker 1: An oversized load will be making its way through Grimes, Francis,
6:28
Speaker 1: and Robertson counties today, Monday, 831. The load is to
6:32
Speaker 1: leave Navasota at 830 a.m. and make its way through
6:36
Speaker 1: Brazos County and then stop at Robertson.
6:38
Speaker 7: 8.30 a.m. is what you need to know.
6:42
Speaker 1: It says, please be patient and give them plenty of
6:44
Speaker 1: room to move, which is great. However, we do not
6:47
Speaker 1: have a route for this, so we're assuming this is
6:49
Speaker 1: Highway 6.
6:50
Speaker 7: Well, can it even be Highway 6 right now? Depending.
6:54
Speaker 7: All right, two quick things. How big does a load
7:00
Speaker 7: like that have to be before they put out a, Hey, guys,
7:05
Speaker 7: big load on the way. Because any given day, there's
7:09
Speaker 7: a building or some 30-foot tank or turbo props or
7:16
Speaker 7: whatever it is just coming down the highway. I saw
7:20
Speaker 7: one the other day where they had to walk it
7:23
Speaker 7: through the intersection.
7:25
Speaker 1: Because lifting the power lines and stuff.
7:28
Speaker 7: Lifting the power lines and, and, and lowering the bed
7:31
Speaker 7: of the truck intermittently to get through stops. I was
7:34
Speaker 7: a whole thing took about probably about 20 minutes of
7:38
Speaker 7: sitting at it, which whatever I was actually enjoying the
7:41
Speaker 7: show because I was right there. It was like, okay,
7:44
Speaker 7: let's not have been in a hurry. Whatever that didn't
7:47
Speaker 7: get a heads up. How big of a load does
7:51
Speaker 7: it have to be? And based on that, Like you mentioned, Will,
7:56
Speaker 7: you can't really squeeze a whole heck of a lot
7:58
Speaker 7: down Highway 6 right now. There's just not room. There's
8:03
Speaker 7: concrete on either side. So where's it going to go?
8:07
Speaker 1: I think I can boil this down to a very
8:09
Speaker 1: simple statement.
8:10
Speaker 5: Yeah.
8:10
Speaker 1: You might see something big on the road. You're not
8:13
Speaker 1: going to be able to get around it.
8:14
Speaker 5: No.
8:15
Speaker 1: Deal with it.
8:15
Speaker 7: Highway 30?
8:16
Speaker 8: No.
8:17
Speaker 9: No.
8:17
Speaker 1: Sick. No. I don't know.
8:19
Speaker 7: You couldn't do 30. I don't know.
8:21
Speaker 1: But we don't have a route.
8:23
Speaker 6: Yeah.
8:23
Speaker 1: I've got the... The email right there from the PIO.
8:26
Speaker 7: Perhaps one will surface, but yeah, like you said, just
8:31
Speaker 7: someone's going to get a big surprise.
8:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, leaving Navasota 830. All right.
8:36
Speaker 7: Let's talk about the biggest news story that is out
8:39
Speaker 7: there today. I have seen this already this morning in
8:42
Speaker 7: five different places, and it's pheromone maxing.
8:47
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
8:47
Speaker 7: Everything gets to be maxing now, which is upsetting on
8:51
Speaker 7: its own.
8:51
Speaker 1: Got protein maxing.
8:52
Speaker 7: On its own right. Max, generally, I'm going to tell
8:56
Speaker 7: you this from experience. Doing anything the maximum you can
9:01
Speaker 7: do is probably not the best idea.
9:04
Speaker 1: Socrates said, you know, the golden mean. Moderation in all things.
9:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, you want to do a little, you know, you
9:10
Speaker 7: want to improve your diet with a little extra protein?
9:12
Speaker 7: That's probably not going to, you want to max it?
9:15
Speaker 7: That's probably going to be an issue. So, what is
9:19
Speaker 7: pheromone maxing?
9:20
Speaker 1: Apparently, it is just simply ignoring your basic hygiene.
9:24
Speaker 7: That's right.
9:24
Speaker 10: Right?
9:25
Speaker 1: No washing, wearing unwashed clothes. There are some other steps
9:30
Speaker 1: that you can take that we're not going to cover here.
9:32
Speaker 1: The idea is to amplify your, quote, natural must.
9:37
Speaker 7: Because it drives the women nuts.
9:40
Speaker 1: I think the phrase is biologically irresistible.
9:43
Speaker 7: That is what they said. They also said it's not an.
9:46
Speaker 11: Well.
9:47
Speaker 7: Science says it's not an exact science.
9:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:50
Speaker 7: Because, like, they've tried to study. I want to say
9:54
Speaker 7: there was a study a while ago where it was
9:56
Speaker 7: like they would just, like, they would, you know, it
9:58
Speaker 7: was like they'd pay you $ 50. and then you, they
10:01
Speaker 7: have to smell the armpit of a t-shirt. And then
10:05
Speaker 7: they would just interview them after that about how they,
10:08
Speaker 7: and it sounds like, well, maybe, maybe there's something to this,
10:11
Speaker 7: I guess, but then it gets a, come on. If
10:14
Speaker 7: this was true, Guys, wouldn't you see better results from
10:19
Speaker 7: doing things like that? I would think so. Or is
10:23
Speaker 7: this something that has legs to it that people.
10:29
Speaker 1: Maybe have been doing for a long time? If it
10:31
Speaker 1: has legs, they're hairy and unshaven.
10:34
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're right.
10:34
Speaker 7: They don't say whether it's male or female.
10:36
Speaker 1: No, this is both. This is both. And I can
10:38
Speaker 1: tell you, I can tell you after living behind enemy
10:42
Speaker 1: lines in two different places, spending a lot of time
10:44
Speaker 1: with hippies in Fayetteville, Arkansas and in Austin, Texas. Yeah,
10:48
Speaker 1: very crunchy. I can tell you that in my own
10:50
Speaker 1: personal opinion, I have a soft spot in my heart
10:54
Speaker 1: for hippie chicks, but only the ones that bathe and shave.
10:57
Speaker 1: And if you're wearing the patchouli to cover that biological,
11:01
Speaker 1: irresistible musk, Forget about it.
11:08
Speaker 7: It's already hard enough out there on the teachers and
11:14
Speaker 7: people that deal with our youth.
11:15
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
11:16
Speaker 7: It's already hard enough.
11:18
Speaker 1: You just brought that to the forefront of my mind. Yeah,
11:20
Speaker 1: there's challenges anyway when it comes to the hygiene.
11:24
Speaker 7: The people that get this maxing stuff most are the
11:26
Speaker 7: kids because whatever reason, they're just– I don't know why.
11:30
Speaker 1: Impressionable.
11:31
Speaker 7: They're impressionable and they love this stuff. And so they
11:34
Speaker 7: subscribe to these influencers and they're the ones that tell
11:36
Speaker 7: them this. So really what you're talking about is the
11:39
Speaker 7: audience that's most likely to try this is high school
11:41
Speaker 7: to junior high kids. And junior high to high school kids,
11:46
Speaker 7: holy cow.
11:47
Speaker 1: Look, if you're a teenage boy, right, in the junior
11:51
Speaker 1: high and high school realm.
11:52
Speaker 7: How many teachers listen to this show? It's probably too
11:54
Speaker 7: late to talk to some teachers.
11:55
Speaker 1: No, they're already buckling down, yeah.
11:58
Speaker 7: Can someone explain this who has been there, who has
12:01
Speaker 7: maybe taught these grades?
12:03
Speaker 1: Oh, I just raised two kids through teenage years, I
12:05
Speaker 1: can tell you. It is so bad. Being around especially,
12:08
Speaker 1: and it's both, but especially the teenage boys.
12:10
Speaker 7: It is so bad. They hit an age.
12:15
Speaker 1: It's like you walk into a closet full of onions.
12:18
Speaker 7: It's like you walk into the school where they reside.
12:20
Speaker 7: It's like a chicken farm in there. It is such a.
12:26
Speaker 1: It's feral.
12:27
Speaker 7: Specific smell. And teachers are there every day. Every day
12:33
Speaker 7: fighting back the tears in their eyes. Probably for numerous reasons,
12:36
Speaker 7: but this is one of them.
12:37
Speaker 8: And.
12:38
Speaker 7: And can we just can we just not make it
12:41
Speaker 7: harder on them? Can we just do something? Just deodorant max.
12:47
Speaker 5: Yeah.
12:47
Speaker 7: Deodorant. Shower max.
12:49
Speaker 1: Shower max.
12:49
Speaker 7: Shower maxing.
12:51
Speaker 1: Oral hygiene maxing.
12:52
Speaker 7: All of these all of these things. Michael says there's
12:55
Speaker 7: there is no way to stop that. Hormones are rampant
12:58
Speaker 7: with teens. They stink and they. Can't help it no
13:00
Speaker 7: matter what they do.
13:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can mitigate it. You can't completely eradicate it,
13:05
Speaker 1: but you can mitigate it.
13:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've got to do better about this.
13:08
Speaker 11: We do.
13:08
Speaker 7: It's going to be a disaster.

14:49
Speaker 7: 1620-945-WTAW. Still got the shivers from the pheromone maxing story.
14:55
Speaker 7: I'd say bring back the ice bucket challenge just as
14:59
Speaker 7: a way to give them an extra shower.
15:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, in fact, we'll modify it. It's the soap and
15:03
Speaker 1: ice bucket challenge.
15:05
Speaker 7: Exactly. Soap and normal water challenge. Have your friends dump
15:09
Speaker 7: it over you. Only up until you're, you know, in
15:12
Speaker 7: your early 20s. And you probably figured it out by then.
15:15
Speaker 7: But definitely those.
15:16
Speaker 13: Oh, Lord.
15:18
Speaker 7: Awful. Have you seen the... We've talked a few times
15:22
Speaker 7: about the rise of the bears on... on the show,
15:26
Speaker 7: I think, in reference to number one in other parts
15:29
Speaker 7: of the country and other parts.
15:30
Speaker 1: Of the world.
15:30
Speaker 7: The bear encounters, yeah. The bear encounters through the roof.
15:32
Speaker 7: In Lake Tahoe, they're buying bear mats was the last thing.
15:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, the electrified bear mats.
15:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like a doormat, but it's just pumped full
15:40
Speaker 7: of electricity.
15:41
Speaker 1: It makes them look like they're on Dance Dance Revolution
15:44
Speaker 1: or whatever.
15:44
Speaker 7: Now, of course, you have to remember to turn it off.
15:47
Speaker 6: Yeah.
15:47
Speaker 7: When you might be trying to access your home or else.
15:51
Speaker 1: Safety concern, yeah.
15:53
Speaker 7: That's been an issue. They're in Texas, y'all.
15:57
Speaker 1: Are they? East Texas.
15:58
Speaker 7: Yeah, black bears. Black bear sightings have been on the rise.
16:00
Speaker 1: They came through Louisiana some decades ago, and we all
16:04
Speaker 1: knew they were heading for East Texas. And we're getting
16:06
Speaker 1: bears out of Mexico, too.
16:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Mexican bears. The ones that can get over
16:09
Speaker 7: the wall. There's bears. Always need to be aware of bears. Unless,
16:14
Speaker 7: of course, you're these kids. So there are a couple
16:19
Speaker 7: of live streamers. I love it when what is old
16:21
Speaker 7: is new again. A couple of live streamers are out
16:24
Speaker 7: hanging out in the grizzly maze. Heard about the grizzly maze?
16:28
Speaker 1: I don't know about the grizzly maze.
16:30
Speaker 7: You wouldn't know if you watched the movie Grizzly Man.
16:34
Speaker 1: I purposely stayed away from that movie. Oh, Will. I
16:38
Speaker 1: knew the story. I don't want to go watch it happen.
16:40
Speaker 7: It's one of my favorite movies ever.
16:43
Speaker 1: So you like movies about mental illness that end in
16:46
Speaker 1: a catastrophic and horrific death.
16:49
Speaker 7: I absolutely do. Well, so the short version of the story,
16:52
Speaker 7: there was this doofus named Timothy Treadwell, and he believed
16:56
Speaker 7: he could commune with the bears. And so for 13 years,
16:59
Speaker 7: he went up to the most grizzly packed part of
17:01
Speaker 7: the country, Alaska, called the Grizzly Maze. And he lived there.
17:05
Speaker 7: And he filmed himself on a camcorder just because he
17:09
Speaker 7: kind of got famous off of it.
17:10
Speaker 1: It worked great for a while.
17:11
Speaker 7: It kind of did. And this week now we have
17:14
Speaker 7: two live streamers that are hanging out up there in
17:17
Speaker 7: the grizzly maze having encounters. The one that's circulating is
17:22
Speaker 7: they're sitting on a bench or a stump or something.
17:25
Speaker 7: And this beast of a grizzly charges right in front
17:29
Speaker 7: of them because he's going to try to get to
17:31
Speaker 7: the creek. get his salmon yeah and they're just like
17:34
Speaker 7: oh that's kind of crazy and so i'm reading about
17:36
Speaker 7: this and i find that uh that this girl that
17:40
Speaker 7: is up there by the way there was a girl
17:41
Speaker 7: in the timothy treadwell thing she died too yeah um
17:46
Speaker 7: she's a texan oh she operates if i am correct
17:52
Speaker 7: uh a animal sanctuary around austin 15 acres and she
17:58
Speaker 7: streams it she sets up cameras in all the enclosures
18:02
Speaker 7: She gets 35 million people to watch the video stream daily.
18:09
Speaker 1: That's insane.
18:11
Speaker 7: 35 million humans on Twitch at some point look at
18:18
Speaker 7: a video daily. of one of her animals just kind
18:20
Speaker 7: of slid. I went to click it, and sure enough,
18:22
Speaker 7: there's like a sleeping serval or something that's just kind
18:26
Speaker 7: of hanging out there.
18:27
Speaker 1: And 35 million people are just like you and will
18:29
Speaker 1: not change the channel if there's a cat on it.
18:31
Speaker 7: No, they will not. They absolutely will not. Yeah, 1.1
18:36
Speaker 7: million subscribers on YouTube, half a million people on Instagram. So, yeah,
18:39
Speaker 7: she is a Texan hanging out in the grizzly.
18:43
Speaker 1: So she decided that her fame and fortune on the
18:45
Speaker 1: internet was not enough. She needed to max it.
18:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. I believe they call that grizzly maxing.
18:53
Speaker 1: Grizzly maxing.
18:53
Speaker 7: Grizzly maxing. It's where you just, you realize that bears
18:57
Speaker 7: are internet clout. So put yourself directly in front of
19:01
Speaker 7: as many of them as you can. I'll tell you
19:03
Speaker 7: what really gets the views. Really gets the views is when, yeah,
19:07
Speaker 7: when the grizzly finally comes for you. That is going
19:10
Speaker 7: to be.
19:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
19:11
Speaker 7: Global. Global.
19:13
Speaker 1: I mean, that's Taylor Swift level clout.
19:16
Speaker 7: Everyone is absolutely going to know who you are. I
19:20
Speaker 7: can't be that mad at them, though. It's the same
19:22
Speaker 7: toxic trait. It's the same. You do have that. I
19:25
Speaker 7: have that exact. If you put me in proximity to
19:29
Speaker 7: if you drop me on a stump and I said,
19:32
Speaker 7: I sent you.
19:32
Speaker 1: Pictures of bobcats and coyotes from my neighborhood and you
19:35
Speaker 1: want to show up with treats.
19:37
Speaker 16: I would.
19:37
Speaker 7: This is how you know if you have this, too.
19:40
Speaker 7: If you ended up in a situation like Bobcat, right?
19:43
Speaker 7: Like if I was outside and I saw a Bobcat,
19:46
Speaker 7: do you move you move in one of two directions, right?
19:49
Speaker 1: Towards the firearm.
19:52
Speaker 14: Yes.
19:53
Speaker 7: True.
19:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:53
Speaker 7: Direction number one or towards the cat. And if you
19:57
Speaker 7: feel yourself being kind of compelled, like maybe I can
20:00
Speaker 7: get a little bit closer. That means you're like me and,
20:03
Speaker 7: and this Maya chick that's, that's us.
20:05
Speaker 10: Right.
20:05
Speaker 13: Right.
20:06
Speaker 7: I just don't put myself in situations where I'm going
20:08
Speaker 7: to have to be, you know, have to make a
20:10
Speaker 7: conscious effort to, hey, this is bad. That's why you
20:14
Speaker 7: don't see me in Yellowstone. That's why you don't see
20:16
Speaker 7: me in Alaska. That's why you don't see me, you know,
20:20
Speaker 7: off the coast of Australia.
20:21
Speaker 1: You have developed a skill for self-preservation over the years.
20:25
Speaker 14: Yeah.
20:26
Speaker 7: You just know that there is that's going to be
20:29
Speaker 7: a it's going to be a loss. You're going to
20:31
Speaker 7: take an L on this one of these days. But yeah,

21:10
Speaker 14: Yeah.
21:11
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a skyscraper on a, it's a skyscraper
21:14
Speaker 7: on what looks to be about 10, 18 Wheeler beds.
21:18
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. Texas says highway six
21:21
Speaker 1: North bound from Navasota. This thing is massive.
21:24
Speaker 7: This is not going to be a fun day for anyone.
21:27
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything on the road this big.
21:32
Speaker 7: Absolutely. Yeah, this is when they said a big, and
21:34
Speaker 7: you know what, I appreciate that you put the regular
21:37
Speaker 7: 18-wheeler in there for scale. That is extraordinary.
21:40
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a regular 18-wheeler.
21:45
Speaker 7: So yeah, if you're missing it, this is what's going
21:47
Speaker 7: to be traveling north sometime starting around 830, and that's

24:03
Speaker 14: about immigration in America, which has been a chronic problem
24:09
Speaker 14: for what, 20 years, 15 years? Another migrant in Maine
24:14
Speaker 14: was shot dead by ICE.
24:18
Speaker 7: Very frustrating.
24:19
Speaker 14: We already know about the incidents in Minneapolis. Two people
24:22
Speaker 14: who interfered with law enforcement were killed by ICE agents.
24:27
Speaker 14: Then another individual was gunned down in Houston. Now in Maine,
24:31
Speaker 14: a Colombian national has been killed. Problem is that we,
24:35
Speaker 14: the American public, don't hear much from Mark Wayne Mullen,
24:39
Speaker 14: the Secretary of Homeland Security. He hasn't gone on TV
24:43
Speaker 14: or radio to explain what the deuce is happening. The
24:48
Speaker 14: Borders are Tom Holman, who I like and who I've
24:50
Speaker 14: spoken with on television, recently said the administration would institute a, quote,
24:57
Speaker 14: short pause on traffic stops chasing migrants. But President Trump,
25:03
Speaker 14: as you may know, overrode that almost immediately. Now, the
25:08
Speaker 14: feds have to give us more information about ICE and
25:12
Speaker 14: their techniques because these killings affect every single person living
25:19
Speaker 14: in this country. I am rigorous in my support of
25:23
Speaker 14: knowing who is here in America. But this kind of
25:27
Speaker 14: chaos generated by the federal government It's got to cease. Maine,
25:33
Speaker 14: where the latest migrant was killed, now may go Democrat
25:37
Speaker 14: after all of the craziness up there. Back in a moment.

28:09
Speaker 1: 27-year-old Brian Roman of Bryan for consent to search his vehicle.
28:14

Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducting an operation in Bryan
29:20
Speaker 1: on Saturday contacted 911 after they encountered aggressive drivers. According
29:26
Speaker 1: to a press release from the Brazos County Sheriff's Office,
29:29
Speaker 1: ICE agents called Brazos County 911 just before noon on Saturday,

Speaker 1: traffic signals, and attempting to block them from continuing to drive.
29:41

Speaker 7: Houston are awake, they're going to go just bonkers. over
35:44
Speaker 7: this and start posting about it every hour or so. Uh,
35:47
Speaker 7: the last tracks I've seen, there's just, just a little
35:50
Speaker 7: more West.
35:51
Speaker 1: Just a hair. Just a little left.
35:53
Speaker 7: Just a little left, and we'd be in great shape.
35:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.
35:58
Speaker 7: Now, as is, I think they're predicting like one inch,
36:00
Speaker 7: maybe a little bit more. We'll see. But yeah, a
36:02
Speaker 7: little bit west, just a little, just a hair.
36:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I could take the four or five inches
36:07
Speaker 1: over a period of four days. Over for a week?
36:10
Speaker 6: Yeah.
36:10
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
36:11
Speaker 7: Very, very nice. Weather brought to you by Malick Service

Speaker 7: keep her AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. I
36:24
Speaker 7: want to tell you the story about a dog named Bingo.
36:26
Speaker 10: Oh.
36:26
Speaker 7: It's really, his name's Bingo.
36:28
Speaker 1: For real. B-I-N-G-O? Yeah, that one.
36:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, was his name. Oh, I'm just going to play
36:33
Speaker 7: this video because I think that some of you guys
36:36
Speaker 7: might have been in a similar situation. Bingo brought a
36:39
Speaker 7: gift into his home recently, and that gift was a
36:43
Speaker 7: live armadillo.
36:44
Speaker 16: Bingo, drop it!
36:47
Speaker 12: No!
36:48
Speaker 11: No!
36:49
Speaker 9: Ah!
36:50
Speaker 13: Bingo!
36:57
Speaker 11: Pika, go get it.
36:59
Speaker 19: Oh, my God.
37:00
Speaker 3: There's no vanilla now.
37:01
Speaker 7: It is a car.
37:04
Speaker 1: Poor dog is confused bingo drop it bingo go get.
37:08
Speaker 7: It now bingo did eventually which wild bingo does figure
37:12
Speaker 7: and okay pick it up and take it right back outside.
37:14
Speaker 1: May have been a little embarrassing oh yeah showed up
37:16
Speaker 1: with the wrong gift he expected a little bit different reaction.
37:19
Speaker 7: Uh and i know i again i don't know if
37:22
Speaker 7: your dog has brought it inside although i will take
37:24
Speaker 7: some of those stories like if you've got if your
37:26
Speaker 7: dog has brought something unexpected into your home and you
37:29
Speaker 7: would love to share it with us i would love
37:31
Speaker 7: to hear about it at 979-695-1620.
37:33
Speaker 1: Annie brought a bug in over the weekend. She's constantly
37:36
Speaker 1: looking for the crunchies, the crunchy snacks.
37:39
Speaker 7: Oh, Sky Raisins.
37:40
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:40
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, yeah, not bad. But have you ever encountered just, again,
37:45
Speaker 7: random wildlife?
37:46
Speaker 1: Not with a dog.
37:47
Speaker 7: Not with a dog.
37:48
Speaker 1: Now, back when I was a kid and I had
37:49
Speaker 1: cats all the time.
37:51
Speaker 7: Oh, cats will bring in literally everything. Snakes.
37:54
Speaker 1: Rabbits.
37:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, whatever. Rabbits?
37:56
Speaker 1: Rabbits.
37:56
Speaker 7: Your cat brought in a rabbit?
37:59
Speaker 1: Was it a baby rabbit? My completely blind 14-year-old cat brought...
38:06
Speaker 1: What are rabbits? A litter of rabbits? A litter of rabbits!
38:10
Speaker 1: Little rabbit babies.
38:12
Speaker 7: Did the rabbit babies survive the encounter?
38:15
Speaker 1: I'm just going to say I don't recall.
38:17
Speaker 7: No reason to think otherwise. I always love hearing this.
38:22
Speaker 7: I remember one of my first memories of life was
38:26
Speaker 7: walking into my younger brothers. There were only two of
38:30
Speaker 7: us at the time. It was me and my next
38:32
Speaker 7: oldest brother. I walk in and hear a bang and
38:37
Speaker 7: bang bang bang around open the door and there is
38:40
Speaker 7: a raccoon just sitting in there and again i i
38:44
Speaker 7: my mom sounded about like that woman in that video
38:49
Speaker 7: because it's just.
38:50
Speaker 1: It's pretty universal that reaction just Once.
38:53
Speaker 7: Again, depends on the person. I think she was more
38:55
Speaker 7: trying to get me to not, again, go towards the animal.
39:00
Speaker 7: It looks so cute. I want to hug it and
39:02
Speaker 7: squeeze it and pet it and love it. Yeah, some
39:04
Speaker 7: of us are just born this way, but here we are.
39:08
Speaker 7: I do want to change gears because, again, now I
39:11
Speaker 7: gave you guys all a heads up on this, and
39:14
Speaker 7: a lot of you didn't believe me that the thumbs
39:16
Speaker 7: up emoji is a real problem.
39:19
Speaker 1: Apparently the kids think it is.
39:21
Speaker 7: The thumbs up emoji is ruining communication between generations right now,
39:26
Speaker 7: and now it is finally getting the attention. Some of
39:28
Speaker 7: you are like, what are you talking about? This is
39:30
Speaker 7: a random conversation where I told you that a thumbs
39:32
Speaker 7: up is one of the worst responses you can send
39:36
Speaker 7: in a text message in 2026. And everyone like laughed
39:40
Speaker 7: and laughed.
39:40
Speaker 1: Well, this started with a Gen Z LinkedIn user. I
39:44
Speaker 1: will repeat a Gen Z LinkedIn user. So go ahead
39:48
Speaker 1: and just take that. At face value for what it is.
39:50
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is from Generation Z.
39:52
Speaker 1: He declared that younger people had officially canceled the thumbs-up emoji,
39:56
Speaker 1: arguing that it comes across as cold, dismissive, or passive-aggressive.
40:00
Speaker 7: That's right.
40:01
Speaker 1: Right?
40:01
Speaker 7: That's right.
40:02
Speaker 1: So a lot of people agreed, and there was a
40:04
Speaker 1: whole bunch of Gen Xers that, you know, jumped back
40:09
Speaker 1: into it, right? They're going to be, hey, Gen Z,
40:11
Speaker 1: we don't care what you think. We are Gen X. Okay.
40:15
Speaker 1: And we are going to respond to your social media postings.
40:18
Speaker 1: With thousands upon thousands of thumbs up emojis.
40:22
Speaker 7: So you are going, your generation is going even harder
40:26
Speaker 7: with the thumbs up emoji now.
40:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
40:28
Speaker 7: To spite.
40:29
Speaker 1: Which should have been the expected outcome. To spite. When
40:33
Speaker 1: you poke the Gen Z. Or the Gen X, rather.
40:37
Speaker 1: Come on. I mean, we just don't care that much.
40:40
Speaker 1: And we're kind of mean. If you try to pick
40:43
Speaker 1: on us, we will retaliate, not only in kind, but
40:46
Speaker 1: we will escalate, right? So apparently, yeah, upon thousands upon
40:50
Speaker 1: thousands of thumb-up emojis, and then one person just replied,
40:54
Speaker 1: and this is classic, okay. oh yeah take that gen
41:02
Speaker 1: z was.
41:02
Speaker 7: There a period after the okay that's the only way
41:05
Speaker 7: to ratchet it up anymore.
41:06
Speaker 1: No i i probably so all right all right let's
41:09
Speaker 1: talk about your uh your your moments of being scarred
41:11
Speaker 1: by wildlife in your home uh via text message at
41:14
Speaker 1: 979-695-1620 and again if you happen to have found.
41:21
Speaker 7: A stray animal in your house. An animal you were
41:24
Speaker 7: not expecting in your house. We would like to hear
41:26
Speaker 7: that story. He calls or texts us. Bonus points if
41:29
Speaker 7: it was brought there by an animal that you did
41:32
Speaker 7: expect in your house. John says their dog dropped off
41:37
Speaker 7: a baby possum in the middle of the living room
41:39
Speaker 7: one fine Sunday morning.
41:42
Speaker 1: Just offering it up for Sunday dinner.
41:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, just thought you might like it. You know, whatever.
41:47
Speaker 7: They say that animals do this because they think that you...
41:51
Speaker 7: are the dumbest version of them that they've ever seen.
41:54
Speaker 9: What?
41:54
Speaker 7: That's true. Like, specifically cats. Cats think that we can't hunt.
41:59
Speaker 7: They think that we can't feed ourselves, which doesn't make
42:01
Speaker 7: any sense because we feed them.
42:03
Speaker 1: But cats are so pretentious that, yeah.
42:07
Speaker 7: In elementary school, my dog brought in a squirrel. We
42:11
Speaker 7: ended up bottle feeding it and keeping it for a
42:13
Speaker 7: few years as a pet.
42:15
Speaker 5: No.
42:16
Speaker 7: Oh, he just wanted a little friend.
42:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a Tuckerism right there.
42:21
Speaker 7: Uh, dogs haven't brought anything in, says Ryan. But when
42:25
Speaker 7: my wife's cat used to be indoor-outdoor, he would bring
42:28
Speaker 7: in live mice, snakes... and the occasional cicada.
42:32
Speaker 1: Oh, I knew a dog that loved to feel the
42:34
Speaker 1: vibration of the cicadas in his mouth, and he'd pick
42:37
Speaker 1: them up and catch them.
42:38
Speaker 7: What did that sound like?
42:39
Speaker 1: It sounded like a cicada in a mouth. If a
42:44
Speaker 1: dog smiles, and sometimes they do, that dog was happy.
42:47
Speaker 7: Interestingly enough, involving the cat, he left the creatures alive
42:53
Speaker 7: so that he could continue to play with them.
42:56
Speaker 1: That's a cat for you.
42:58
Speaker 7: Evil creature. Chase, having two Catahoulas, we do not have
43:04
Speaker 7: any armadillo problems. Currently, there are seven armadillo carcasses.
43:11
Speaker 1: Good boy. Such a good boy. Hey, look, Catahoulas, if
43:15
Speaker 1: you have more than one Jack Russell Terrier... You have
43:19
Speaker 1: no armadillos.
43:20
Speaker 7: You are an armadillo-free environment.
43:22
Speaker 1: Because if you have five Jack Russell terriers, your neighborhood
43:26
Speaker 1: no longer has an armadillo problem.
43:29
Speaker 7: You got something for us, call us or text us.
43:31
Speaker 20: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
43:34
Speaker 20: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs

44:13
Speaker 19: Are you so exhausted that you walk around in a fog?
44:17
Speaker 19: If your nights are short and your days are long,
44:20
Speaker 19: then you might be a parent. Brain fog is common
44:24
Speaker 19: among parents who are too busy and who don't get
44:26
Speaker 19: enough sleep, which is just about every parent I know.
44:30
Speaker 19: Some families are so busy they track the day of
44:33
Speaker 19: the week by their kids' activities, and the American parent
44:36
Speaker 19: loses focus on average nearly 36 minutes every day. The
44:41
Speaker 19: problem isn't only that we have busy schedules, it's that
44:44
Speaker 19: we have busy hearts and minds as well. A season
44:48
Speaker 19: of busyness is one thing, but busyness is no way
44:51
Speaker 19: to live. If exhaustion is leading to foggy thinking, you'll
44:55
Speaker 19: only power through with coffee and energy drinks for so long.
44:59
Speaker 19: Sooner or later, you need a meaningful break, not just
45:02
Speaker 19: once a year on vacation, but monthly, weekly, maybe even daily.
45:07
Speaker 19: Quiet and rest are as necessary to our soul's well-being
45:11
Speaker 19: as they are to our physical well-being. To recharge, we
45:15
Speaker 19: need more than a blank spot on our calendars. We
45:18
Speaker 19: need space, room to breathe, to clear our minds, and
45:21
Speaker 19: to decompress. Quiet time isn't easy to come by when
45:25
Speaker 19: you're so busy as a parent, but it's worth pursuing.
45:28
Speaker 19: You miss out on too much when you're overcommitted. Find
45:32
Speaker 19: ways to slow down, to clear your head, and to rest.
45:35
Speaker 19: You'll feel a lot better, and the fog that's clouding
45:38
Speaker 19: your mind just might clear up. For Focus on the Family,
45:42
Speaker 19: I'm Jim Daley.
45:43
Speaker 1: The following is a real-life story from Trinity Debt Management.
45:47
Speaker 8: When I was feeling the stress of too much credit
45:49
Speaker 8: card debt, I looked at two different options, debt settlement
45:53
Speaker 8: and debt management. They may sound the same, but guess what?
45:57
Speaker 7: They're not.
45:58
Speaker 8: Debt settlement seemed like a quick fix, but I found
46:01
Speaker 8: out it would destroy my credit, create tax headaches, and
46:04
Speaker 8: hit me with huge fees. They actually told me to
46:08
Speaker 8: stop paying my bills.
46:09
Speaker 7: No way.
46:10
Speaker 6: Not me.
46:11
Speaker 8: Then I turned to a debt management plan developed by
46:14
Speaker 8: the team at Trinity. They worked with my creditors, lowered
46:17
Speaker 8: my payments, reduced my interest, saved me thousands, and paid
46:21
Speaker 8: off my debt. And Trinity is a Christian company, which
46:24
Speaker 8: is important to me.
46:26
Speaker 1: Credit card debt has you down. Call Trinity at 1-800-936-5348.
46:29
Speaker 1: My name is Heather.
46:29

46:56
Speaker 16: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
46:59
Speaker 16: on 1620-945-WTAW. This update is brought to you by Texas
47:04
Speaker 16: Select Coatings, your trusted source for high-quality powder coating delivering

Speaker 16: high-performance finishes on time, every time. Click TexasSelectCoatings.com today. The
47:15
Speaker 16: Aggie volleyball team opened up the Texas A & M
47:18
Speaker 16: Invitational with a 3-1 win over GCU Friday morning at
47:22
Speaker 16: Reed Arena. Head coach Jamie Morrison shared thoughts on the
47:25
Speaker 16: Aggies' performance.
47:27
Speaker 10: Talked about the way that we compete, the way we
47:28
Speaker 10: have to come into these matches, and the expectation is
47:30
Speaker 10: that we're trying to take something from our opponents. And
47:32
Speaker 10: I thought we did a really, really good job of
47:34
Speaker 10: that for the first 10 to 15 points of pretty
47:35
Speaker 10: much every single set. So I think I was really
47:38
Speaker 10: pleased with that, the way we came out, the way
47:40
Speaker 10: we served aggressively. We got after the right people, and
47:42
Speaker 10: I thought it put them in a little bit of
47:43
Speaker 10: chaos and disarray, and then we took advantage of it.
47:46
Speaker 16: The team also swept Arkansas State 3-0 on the program's
47:50
Speaker 16: 2025 Banner Drop Celebration game Friday evening at Reed Arena.
47:55
Speaker 16: Coach Morrison talked about the atmosphere of the game and
47:58
Speaker 16: recapped the match.
47:59
Speaker 10: First of all, and I'm going to use the word we,
48:01
Speaker 10: but look what we built. I would say I'm not
48:03
Speaker 10: going to throw the people in this room.
48:04
Speaker 1: It's everything.
48:05
Speaker 10: It's a really cool, rocking atmosphere that's fun to be
48:07
Speaker 10: a part of, and I think it fires up our girls.
48:10
Speaker 10: I think the student section got me a challenge overturned
48:13
Speaker 10: that I wasn't necessarily going to go with, but they
48:14
Speaker 10: told me it was in.
48:15
Speaker 7: So I was like, all right, we'll go with it.
48:16
Speaker 10: And it's a cool rocking atmosphere and it's fun. And
48:19
Speaker 10: I think it's an amazing thing. And I think our
48:21
Speaker 10: girls played along with that a little bit. So again,
48:24
Speaker 10: when I say all of this is intertwined, it helps recruiting.
48:27
Speaker 10: It helps bring people in. It helps the way that
48:29
Speaker 10: we play right now. And we get to enjoy it.
48:31
Speaker 10: So I just wanted to say thank you to the
48:32
Speaker 10: 12th man. I talked in the last press conference about
48:34
Speaker 10: what I wanted to see, and I thought I saw that.
48:36
Speaker 10: I thought we were playing with joy. I thought we
48:38
Speaker 10: were playing a little bit more ferocious than we were
48:39
Speaker 10: this morning, and I thought we stayed aggressive throughout, and
48:42
Speaker 10: I'm proud of them for the response that they had.
48:44
Speaker 16: On Saturday evening, the Aggies played their third and final
48:48
Speaker 16: game of the Invitational, where they swept Cal Poly 3-0
48:52
Speaker 16: behind a dominant offensive showing spearheaded by Natalie Ring's 15 kills.
48:57
Speaker 16: Coach Morrison spoke about the team's performance throughout the weekend.
49:01
Speaker 1: Proud of our girls.
49:01
Speaker 10: I think we got better with every single match, and
49:03
Speaker 10: We had to cram a lot of matches in just
49:04
Speaker 10: with the way the preseason works and our RPI reasons.
49:07
Speaker 10: But I think the best thing for this group is
49:09
Speaker 10: to play as much live volleyball as humanly possible. Just
49:11
Speaker 10: every time we step on the floor, I'm seeing growth
49:13
Speaker 10: in different people in the entire group. So I'm proud
49:16
Speaker 10: of the way we played. I think we out-offensed a
49:19
Speaker 10: really good offense. team, which is hard to do. And
49:22
Speaker 10: Cal Poly is a really good volleyball team. And I
49:24
Speaker 10: know they don't have a number next to their name
49:25
Speaker 10: in a ranking. They probably should based on the preseason
49:27
Speaker 10: rankings and what they did last season and the amount
49:29
Speaker 10: of talent that they brought back. So I'm really happy
49:32
Speaker 10: we were able to sustain. I talked to our team.
49:34
Speaker 10: I knew we would get pushed by them. And I
49:35
Speaker 10: talked about the response that we would have And I
49:37
Speaker 10: think you saw that in the first set when all
49:39
Speaker 10: of a sudden they tied it up late and we responded.
49:41
Speaker 10: I think you saw that in the third set when
49:42
Speaker 10: we were down and we responded. So I'm just really
49:46
Speaker 10: proud of the growth that we've had in that area
49:48
Speaker 10: over these three matches.
49:49
Speaker 16: Up next, the Aggies head to West Lafayette, Indiana for
49:52
Speaker 16: the Big Ten and SEC Volleyball Challenge Week, where they
49:56
Speaker 16: will face No. 9 Purdue on September 1st, followed by No.
50:00
Speaker 16: 16 Indiana on September 2nd. In the MLB last night,
50:04
Speaker 16: the Texas Rangers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4. Rangers manager
50:09
Speaker 16: Skip Schumacher recapped the game.
50:11
Speaker 9: I mean, it was a tough first inning, you know,
50:13
Speaker 9: them getting two runs against Rocker and then just some
50:16
Speaker 9: long innings after that and went right to the bullpen.
50:19
Speaker 9: Alexander was fantastic, kind of kept him at two runs
50:21
Speaker 9: and then our offense came back and it's going to take,
50:24
Speaker 9: you know, we've talked about offensive identity and, you know,
50:27
Speaker 9: what that means and it's going to take some heart
50:29
Speaker 9: and guts to fight back and and to start getting
50:31
Speaker 9: more wins, and that's exactly what happened today. These guys
50:34
Speaker 9: are working hard to get it right, and it was
50:36
Speaker 9: a really good offensive performance. So really good job with
50:38
Speaker 9: the bullpen and obviously the offense coming alive.
50:42
Speaker 16: The Houston Astros also won their game last night against
50:45

53:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, as per usual. We always appreciate that. This is
53:23
Speaker 7: from Antone. From a lease a friend owns about 40
53:28
Speaker 7: miles from Ozona, Texas. He was not a happy camper
53:31
Speaker 7: because he had just filled the feeders a few days before,
53:34
Speaker 7: and as I click on this picture, Will, what do
53:36
Speaker 7: I see?
53:37
Speaker 1: You see a feeder there, which I can tell you,
53:40
Speaker 1: that probably holds at least 200 pounds of corn.
53:44
Speaker 7: So a pretty heavy old feeder there.
53:46
Speaker 1: And it is on its side with its lid ripped open,
53:49
Speaker 1: and there looks to be a mama black bear and
53:52
Speaker 1: perhaps a couple of.
53:54
Speaker 7: A trio of bears just living their best bear life,
54:02
Speaker 7: eating all that good corn that was supposed to go
54:04
Speaker 7: for the stock.
54:06
Speaker 1: Apparently, he had just filled it up.
54:08
Speaker 7: Oh, I love it. I love it. The bear invasion
54:13
Speaker 7: continues unabated.
54:15
Speaker 1: Speaking of invasions.
54:16
Speaker 7: Go ahead.
54:17
Speaker 1: Well, you got Jay texting in. Said, back when we
54:21
Speaker 1: had a heavy June bug invasion or infestation.
54:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, I remember this year.
54:26
Speaker 1: My Labrador would mow them down and pass them, so
54:31
Speaker 1: to speak.
54:33
Speaker 11: Oh.
54:34
Speaker 1: Not handing them off, he would pass them.
54:36
Speaker 7: They made its way all the way through the intestinal journey.
54:41
Speaker 11: Alive.
54:42
Speaker 7: Wow, I just can't make this up. Yeah, the, you know,
54:45
Speaker 7: to be honest with you, The digestive system of your
54:49
Speaker 7: dog is one of the weirdest things that's out there.
54:52
Speaker 7: Don't pay too much attention to it because it'll just
54:54
Speaker 7: confuse you.
54:55
Speaker 1: Jay, if you have not named said Junebug, I would
54:58
Speaker 1: like to suggest Keith Richards.
55:04
Speaker 7: Nothing kills Keith. Nothing kills a Junebug. Chase texts in
55:10
Speaker 7: another image of an unexpected visitor to his grandmother's house.
55:14
Speaker 7: Wife calls the other day, and her grandmother came running
55:17
Speaker 7: out of the bathroom... when she found this in the toilet.
55:20
Speaker 7: This is radio, so I will have to describe.
55:22
Speaker 1: Oh, dear God.
55:24
Speaker 7: Grandma, there's a conventional septic system that is so old school,
55:28
Speaker 7: it just dumps out in the pasture. And I assume
55:30
Speaker 7: that is how this snake got in.
55:35
Speaker 1: There is a head sticking up above the toilet. In
55:38
Speaker 1: your worst personal nightmare. I do have an acquaintance who's
55:44
Speaker 1: a plumber here in town, and he will annually send
55:46
Speaker 1: out a picture like this. Just to keep us on
55:50
Speaker 1: our toes.
55:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, always, look, it's always best to just check.
55:56
Speaker 1: Just take a quick glance.
55:57
Speaker 7: A little glance. Sitting down blind is probably never the
56:02
Speaker 7: best idea.
56:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, but these things are sneaky. They're going to hide
56:07
Speaker 1: from you.
56:07
Speaker 7: Sneaky, sneaky little snakes. On that note, welcome to Monday, everyone.
