Speaker 1: The interviews with newsmakers unedited for time. Good morning and
0:03
Speaker 1: happy Friday. From the WTAW newsroom, I'm Will Welch. The
0:08
Speaker 1: Texas A & M Board of Regents made sweeping changes
0:11
Speaker 1: to core curriculum offerings. Some of the classes removed were
0:14
Speaker 1: in the subjects of Women and Gender Studies, African American Studies,
0:18
Speaker 1: and Latinx Studies. Students need to start paying attention on
0:21
Speaker 1: motorized mobility devices. Regents asked that safety on the devices
0:26
Speaker 1: be addressed at their next meeting. Here's Regent Sam Torn.
0:30
Speaker 2: They do not stop at pedestrian walkways, and they're on
0:36
Speaker 2: the sidewalks. We get to observe it in front of
0:39
Speaker 2: the Board of Regents. I nearly ran over my dog.
0:46
Speaker 2: And my wife would not be happy. But, you know,
0:51
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to hearing your talk. But the bottom
0:53
Speaker 2: line of this is if we don't get it fixed soon,
0:56
Speaker 2: because this is a very old.
0:57
Speaker 3: Subject, We're going to ban them, and you're not going
1:00
Speaker 3: to have them at all.
1:01
Speaker 2: So we've got to get it fixed or it's out.
1:04
Speaker 2: There's a lot of cities now that don't allow them.
1:07
Speaker 2: And that's coming up in my mind. If we don't
1:11
Speaker 2: have it fixed a year from now, we're going.
1:12
Speaker 1: To ban them. Blinn in Brenham does not allow them
1:15
Speaker 1: on campus. A woman has been arrested after being found
1:19
Speaker 1: with illegal drugs at a local school. College Station Police
1:22
Speaker 1: responded to IL Texas around 5.15 on Wednesday. An off-duty
1:26
Speaker 1: officer reported that a woman parked crooked in the school's
1:29
Speaker 1: parking lot and that he could smell marijuana coming from
1:32
Speaker 1: the car. 36-year-old Whitney Carson of Navasota told officers she
1:36
Speaker 1: was at the school to pick up her daughter. She
1:38
Speaker 1: failed a field sobriety test and a search revealed a
1:41
Speaker 1: marijuana cigarette and methamphetamine. She was charged with possession of
1:45
Speaker 1: marijuana in a drug-free zone. possession of a controlled substance
1:49
Speaker 1: in a drug-free zone, and driving while intoxicated. She is
1:52
Speaker 1: being held in the Brazos County Jail on a $ 20, 000 bond.
1:56
Speaker 1: A man charged in the infamous Texas Killing Fields case
1:59
Speaker 1: has been sentenced to the maximum of 20 years. 61-year-old
2:03
Speaker 1: James Elmore Jr. was found guilty of manslaughter yesterday in
2:06
Speaker 1: a Houston court for his role in the 1984 death
2:09
Speaker 1: of Laura Miller. Her father, Tim Miller, founded Texas EquiSearch.
2:14
Speaker 1: Texas DPS is stepping up enforcement this Labor Day weekend
2:18
Speaker 1: with more troopers on the roads looking for dangerous drivers.
2:21
Speaker 1: Operation Crash Awareness Reduction Effort, or CARE, runs Friday through Monday.
2:26
Speaker 1: With Texas Highway Patrol troopers watching for speeding, intoxicated drivers,
2:30
Speaker 1: distracted driving, and other violations. Officials say Labor Day marks
2:34
Speaker 1: the unofficial end of summer, so many Texans will be
2:37
Speaker 1: hitting the road to celebrate with friends and family. During
2:40
Speaker 1: last year's holiday weekend, DPS issued more than 63,000 citations
2:45
Speaker 1: and warnings, so they're reminding drivers to buckle up, slow down,
2:48
Speaker 1: and make a plan for a sober ride if you
2:50
Speaker 1: plan on drinking. An ICE officer who was released from
2:53
Speaker 1: custody in Texas last week is facing new criminal charges
2:57
Speaker 1: in Minnesota.
2:58
Speaker 4: Christian Castro is facing state criminal charges in Minnesota over
3:02
Speaker 4: shooting and injuring Julio Cesar Sosa Saliz in January during
3:06
Speaker 4: an immigration crackdown. Those state charges include assault and falsely
3:10
Speaker 4: reporting a crime related to the shooting. He had been
3:13
Speaker 4: held in Texas until last week when Governor Abbott declined
3:17
Speaker 4: to sign extradition papers to send him back to Minnesota
3:20
Speaker 4: to face charges. So he was released. Now, sources tell
3:24
Speaker 4: the Associated Press that Castro is also facing new charges
3:27
Speaker 4: at the federal level. He's accused of making false statements
3:30
Speaker 4: to federal investigators. Stephen Pickering, TSN News.

Speaker 5: 1620-945-WTAW.
3:41
Speaker 1: Good morning, guys, infomaniacs, and.
3:51
Speaker 7: Guess what? More rain is a possibility today. Just thought
3:57
Speaker 7: I'd throw that out there. Not as much as we
3:59
Speaker 7: had yesterday, though.
4:00
Speaker 5: 30% chance.
4:02
Speaker 7: Mostly sunny and high near 94, which I'll still take.
4:06
Speaker 7: And a 40% chance tomorrow. The extended forecast starting to
4:09
Speaker 7: dry out a little bit, too. Sunday is the last
4:11
Speaker 7: day at this point with a chance of rain. Are
4:14
Speaker 7: you seeing anything differently?
4:15
Speaker 1: I am not seeing anything differently. There's a very light
4:18
Speaker 1: band of showers today. Moving east to west, that will
4:21
Speaker 1: impact our area probably in the next 30 minutes, 45 minutes.
4:25
Speaker 7: Not bad. A few last scraps. Weather brought to you
4:28

4:38
Speaker 7: Got a packed show today, boy. Packed show today.
4:41
Speaker 1: Lots going on.
4:41
Speaker 7: The beginning of the college football season. There's already some real,
4:46
Speaker 7: like there were some crazy games last night.
4:49
Speaker 1: I watched about 10 minutes maybe.
4:51
Speaker 7: Which ones?
4:52
Speaker 1: Of the Colorado-Georgia Tech game, and it was some of
4:55
Speaker 1: the worst games. football I've ever seen play.
4:58
Speaker 7: It got real good at the end, man.
5:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently, of course, I was asleep by then. Apparently,
5:04
Speaker 1: they blocked a Georgia Tech field goal attempt to win
5:06
Speaker 1: 14-13 or something like that.
5:08
Speaker 7: Touchdown by Colorado within the last two minutes, and yeah,
5:11
Speaker 7: it ended on a block of basically just a layup
5:16
Speaker 7: field goal. That's how it goes.
5:19
Speaker 1: I watched the last few minutes of the first half,
5:23
Speaker 1: and all I saw was was a boggled snap and
5:26
Speaker 1: four consecutive penalties. And three consecutive drop passes by Colorado.
5:32
Speaker 7: The fighting Deons, man. By the way, it was a
5:36
Speaker 7: great game for one kid. A really good game. And
5:39
Speaker 7: I believe he plays for Colorado. That would be, and
5:45
Speaker 7: stop me if you've heard of this kid, Gideon ESPN Lampron.
5:53
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
5:54
Speaker 7: Gideon ESPN Lampron led the team in tackles. He's from Dallas, Texas.
6:00
Speaker 7: A little time for Bowling Green, now playing for the Buffs.
6:04
Speaker 7: Do you know how he got the name ESPN?
6:07
Speaker 1: I guess his mama gave it to him.
6:08
Speaker 7: I don't know.
6:09
Speaker 6: No.
6:09
Speaker 1: No, that's a nickname?
6:10
Speaker 7: His mama definitely did not give it to him. His
6:12
Speaker 7: mama wanted to name him Xavier as a middle name.
6:17
Speaker 1: Okay.
6:18
Speaker 7: Xavier.
6:20
Speaker 1: Gideon Xavier? I'd go with that.
6:22
Speaker 7: Dad... on the other hand, was not in favor of this.
6:27
Speaker 7: And so while mom was taking a nap, he grabs
6:31
Speaker 7: the birth certificate and writes ESPN in the middle name.
6:36
Speaker 7: And apparently that is like, I mean, that is like
6:41
Speaker 7: chiseling it in stone.
6:42
Speaker 1: I am dumbfounded.
6:44
Speaker 7: Is that, I don't have kids, don't know. I have
6:47
Speaker 7: always assumed, again, what's on the birth certificate, It.
6:51
Speaker 1: Can be changed later, but it's a hassle.
6:54
Speaker 7: You can't just say, hey, I didn't write that. My
6:58
Speaker 7: idiot husband wrote that. You can't really.
7:00
Speaker 1: Well, you can say that. It just takes time and
7:03
Speaker 1: money to change it.
7:04
Speaker 7: You really have to go through the process? You do.
7:07
Speaker 7: If you mess up on that birth certificate... Or you
7:11
Speaker 7: just want to change the name. Yeah, or you just say.
7:15
Speaker 7: Man, I was just coming out of the drugs, you know,
7:18
Speaker 7: and I wasn't quite... Can I get a do-over? You
7:23
Speaker 7: gotta take it to court once you write it down.
7:25
Speaker 1: I am not certain of his age, but my nephew,
7:28
Speaker 1: I believe, was six months, seven months old when his
7:32
Speaker 1: parents decided to change his name.
7:33
Speaker 7: What led them down this road?
7:36
Speaker 1: They just felt like the name that they picked, which
7:38
Speaker 1: is Sonny, fit him better.
7:40
Speaker 9: See, that's the thing.
7:42
Speaker 7: It's like, you should be able to just, you know,
7:44
Speaker 7: I mean... Like changing your profile name on Instagram. I mean,
7:49
Speaker 7: you can do that. Give them one every six months, right?
7:53
Speaker 7: It's like you can't just go crazy with it.
7:55
Speaker 1: You can call yourself whatever you want to, but your
7:58
Speaker 1: official name. Just like my daughter uses her middle name
8:03
Speaker 1: as her first name. And nobody uses her first name.
8:08
Speaker 1: So it's just like that, right? On official stuff, she
8:13
Speaker 1: gets called Kathleen.
8:14
Speaker 7: What's great is ESPN is in all caps, too, which
8:18
Speaker 7: I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
8:22
Speaker 1: No, they're pretty much capitals.
8:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no other way to write that. But that
8:26
Speaker 7: means dad, I presume, capitalized it when he was slamming
8:30
Speaker 7: it down on that person.
8:32
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be a fly on the wall
8:35
Speaker 1: when mama came to and realized what dad had done.
8:39
Speaker 7: Yes. Can you even begin to imagine the conversation there?
8:44
Speaker 1: Was it conversation or were there just the whistling sound
8:48
Speaker 1: of things flying through the air?
8:49
Speaker 7: You're waking up from a nice nap looking at your
8:52
Speaker 7: beautiful baby boy who is now... ESPN.
8:56
Speaker 1: Now, are they pronouncing it ESPN or is it Espen?
9:00
Speaker 7: It is about 50-50, they say. I think ESPN is
9:03
Speaker 7: what he prefers going with.
9:06
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know. If my parents had done that
9:08
Speaker 1: to me, I believe I'd change my own name. Forget
9:12
Speaker 1: about it.

11:17
Speaker 7: if you want to call us or text us, we're
11:19
Speaker 7: talking about old ESPN. Defensive standout, the University of Colorado.
11:26
Speaker 7: You'll probably see a lot more of him as the
11:28
Speaker 7: season goes on. But, yeah, his dad just decided to
11:33
Speaker 7: basically slide that one in there on the birth certificate.
11:37
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what dad's blood alcohol content was when that happened.
11:43
Speaker 7: Text message from one of you guys in relation to this.
11:48
Speaker 7: I used to work with a guy, and his name
11:51
Speaker 7: was Pretty Boy. He said it was on his driver's license.
11:56
Speaker 7: I looked at his driver's license and it did in
11:59
Speaker 7: fact say Pretty Boy. His name was Pretty Boy. I
12:07
Speaker 7: couldn't believe it. Your government name. pretty boy jones.
12:12
Speaker 1: I mean either you're a fan of old school gangsters
12:16
Speaker 1: which if i was pretty boy that's the way yeah
12:20
Speaker 1: i was named after pretty boy.
12:22
Speaker 7: Floyd yeah you gotta watch out for that pretty boy
12:24
Speaker 7: or or if it was uh maybe i feel like
12:26
Speaker 7: an 80s r & b singer you could also have
12:29
Speaker 7: been Been that as well.
12:31
Speaker 1: However, I don't think I would keep that name.
12:36
Speaker 7: What kind of job?
12:36
Speaker 1: Given the choice.
12:37
Speaker 7: Was this a manual labor job?
12:40
Speaker 1: I don't know.
12:41
Speaker 7: A boy named Sue was a little bit rough.
12:44
Speaker 12: All right.
12:44
Speaker 2: All right.
12:46
Speaker 7: Reasons to celebrate for this Friday. Let's get started. Bring
12:51
Speaker 7: your manners to work day.
12:53
Speaker 1: No, thank you.
12:54
Speaker 2: Pass. Pass.
12:55
Speaker 7: College Colors Day is today. Traditionally held on the Friday
13:00
Speaker 7: before Labor Day, also known as Week 1 for most
13:03
Speaker 7: of us. Launched by collegiate licensing companies in 2004 to
13:08
Speaker 7: encourage fans, students, and alumni.
13:10
Speaker 1: To buy more stuff.
13:12
Speaker 7: Exactly correct. Now, obviously, this is not something you have
13:16
Speaker 7: to ask people to do in Bryan College Station, where
13:20
Speaker 7: Maroon is. I mean, any given day.
13:24
Speaker 5: Any day.
13:24
Speaker 7: Is College Colors Day. But a question is asked in
13:27
Speaker 7: the article that talks about this. And that question is,
13:32
Speaker 7: is there an age where wearing college gear from a
13:36
Speaker 7: school you didn't attend becomes weird?
13:42
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
13:43
Speaker 7: Or is college fandom completely independent of actually attending the school?
13:49
Speaker 1: I have to believe that because I did not attend
13:52
Speaker 1: Texas A & M University, grew up here, worked for
13:55
Speaker 1: the system for a number of years.
13:56
Speaker 7: Okay, so this is interesting. You've spent far more years
14:01
Speaker 7: in association with Texas A & M.
14:03
Speaker 1: Than any student.
14:04
Speaker 7: Than any student.
14:05
Speaker 1: Most professors.
14:06
Speaker 7: You obviously do not have, you're not papered from A
14:09
Speaker 7: & M.
14:09
Speaker 8: No.
14:09
Speaker 7: But your professional life and your home life and your
14:14
Speaker 7: family history is deeply tied in.
14:17
Speaker 1: Both parents worked for A & M.
14:18
Speaker 5: Yeah.
14:19
Speaker 7: I've always assumed that that is enough to make you
14:23
Speaker 7: an act. It's kind of like when you're applying for
14:25
Speaker 7: a job and they're like, Hey, well, they do have
14:27
Speaker 7: a master's degree or 20 years experience. You know, you
14:31
Speaker 7: could take either one. And I have to hope that too,
14:34
Speaker 7: because I have zero credit hours rendered to Texas A
14:37
Speaker 7: & M either.
14:37
Speaker 3: I know.
14:38
Speaker 1: Look at A & M. It's easy. That doesn't qualify
14:40
Speaker 1: me for an Aggie ring, but it qualifies me as
14:43
Speaker 1: an Aggie fan. And, and, I will call myself an Aggie.
14:49
Speaker 1: I don't want any stolen valor there by any stretch
14:52
Speaker 1: of the imagination.
14:53
Speaker 7: That's where I've always got hung up. My wife's got
14:56
Speaker 7: three degrees from A & M, and she doesn't associate
14:59
Speaker 7: with A & M as much as I associate with
15:01
Speaker 7: A & M. And I've got nothing. I've got literally
15:04
Speaker 7: nothing except growing up here, having all my siblings go there,
15:07
Speaker 7: and cousins and everything else like that, and 20 years
15:11
Speaker 7: of working with them over various things and whatever.
15:14
Speaker 2: But.
15:15
Speaker 1: Be a good question. Hey, let's open that up.
15:18
Speaker 7: Does it count? Do you have to have credit hours
15:24
Speaker 7: to be considered an Aggie? In your opinion. And don't
15:27
Speaker 7: feel like you're going to hurt our feelings.
15:29
Speaker 13: No.
15:30
Speaker 7: Again, this is just the question that I found on
15:34
Speaker 7: this National Colors Day.
15:36
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference in what they call the
15:38
Speaker 1: t-shirt fan between Texas A & M and most other schools, especially...
15:44
Speaker 1: That one over there in Austin?
15:45
Speaker 7: Because that's the thing. 90% of the University of Texas
15:50
Speaker 7: fan base.
15:52
Speaker 1: Went to Texas State if they went to college at all.
15:54
Speaker 7: Yeah. Look, I have a lot of friends that went
15:57
Speaker 7: there and are big Longhorn fans. But for every one
16:00
Speaker 7: of those, yeah, there's 20 dudes who either went to
16:02
Speaker 7: another school or no school at all that claim it.
16:06
Speaker 7: And everyone here laughs at them for it. And I
16:09
Speaker 7: do feel like it's a little bit different.
16:11
Speaker 13: I do.
16:12
Speaker 7: But if you want to chime in, please feel free.
16:15
Speaker 7: Call us. Text us. 979-695-1620 is that number. It is
16:22
Speaker 7: Chianti Day. This is a new one, oddly enough.
16:25
Speaker 12: Really?
16:25
Speaker 7: Didn't come around until 2020.
16:27
Speaker 1: I would have figured that one would have been out
16:29
Speaker 1: with the movie.
16:29
Speaker 7: That's the thing. No one used to drink it until
16:32
Speaker 7: Silence of the Lambs. And now if you do drink it,
16:35
Speaker 7: you are obligated.
16:37
Speaker 1: To mention fava beans?
16:38
Speaker 7: To do that line. He ate a census taker's liver
16:43
Speaker 7: with fava beans and a nice tea ante. I can't
16:49
Speaker 7: even do it. Food Bank Day, a great day to
16:53
Speaker 7: salute everyone that works in a very important sector. Founded
16:59
Speaker 7: by St. Mary's Food Bank and has been observed on
17:01
Speaker 7: the first Friday of September since 2017. Lazy Mom's Day,
17:06
Speaker 7: a mom isn't doing it today day, kind of like
17:09
Speaker 7: Mother's Day. Only an extra one, which I think we

18:49

19:13
Speaker 3: On Loveline.
19:13
Speaker 7: That's where it started, Loveline. It was him. It was
19:16
Speaker 7: Adam Carolla. From all of the Adam Carolla things, it
19:20
Speaker 7: turned into this massive, massive sensation. And he's been doing
19:25
Speaker 7: it ever since.
19:25
Speaker 1: I liked the love line. I loved the celebrity rehab.
19:30
Speaker 7: I have never actually watched it. And I probably need to.
19:35
Speaker 7: I shudder to think about how tragic that show was
19:39
Speaker 7: going to get.
19:39
Speaker 1: There are so many people on that show that are
19:41
Speaker 1: no longer with us.
19:43
Speaker 7: I hate that.
19:44
Speaker 1: But I mean, it was train wreck TV and I

19:48
Speaker 3: Amazing.
19:49

20:10
Speaker 7: Never heard of it.
20:10
Speaker 1: Tom Watson is 77, the legendary golfer. From the stiffs category,

Speaker 1: Dick York, born on this date in 1928, the first

Speaker 16: Yep.
20:19
Speaker 1: Dick Sargent, by the way, the second Darren. And born
20:23
Speaker 1: on this date in 1918, radio legend Paul Harvey. Good day.
20:29
Speaker 7: Wow, is that not a.
20:31
Speaker 1: It should be a national holiday.
20:32
Speaker 7: How is it not Paul Harvey Day?
20:34
Speaker 1: It should be a national holiday.
20:36
Speaker 3: Wow.
20:37
Speaker 7: I wish I could dig up some old Paul Harvey.
20:39
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's on there.
20:39
Speaker 7: I'm sure the internet has it, but good Lord. I
20:43
Speaker 7: don't know that it's ever been done quite as good.
20:46
Speaker 1: As what that guy did. I don't know that it
20:48
Speaker 1: ever will be.
20:49
Speaker 7: No, it's just, yeah.
20:52
Speaker 1: I think Mike Rowe gets close.
20:54
Speaker 14: He does.
20:55
Speaker 7: Mike Rowe is.
20:55
Speaker 1: Really, really close. Yeah, I think he gets close.
20:59
Speaker 7: Text messages about can you claim Aggie status if you
21:03
Speaker 7: never attended Texas A & M University.
21:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, tap Texas A & M. He said, I may
21:09
Speaker 1: not be an Aggie, but my insurance is paid by
21:11
Speaker 1: Texas A & M. I'd say that's good.
21:13
Speaker 7: That counts, my dude.
21:14
Speaker 1: Woody, maybe it's, let's see, worked for A & M
21:19
Speaker 1: for 34, still working. Always have had that weird feeling
21:21
Speaker 1: of not being considered a true Aggie.
21:23
Speaker 7: Yeah.
21:24
Speaker 1: No, Woody, I'm going to give it to you.
21:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, he goes on.
21:27
Speaker 1: In my definition.
21:29
Speaker 7: I think that counts, man. 34 years working for the company? Like,
21:33
Speaker 7: I think you can claim it. There's got to be
21:36
Speaker 7: more than one way into that family.
21:39
Speaker 1: I think so. And honestly, I think if you spent
21:43
Speaker 1: that long working for a university like my father did
21:46
Speaker 1: from 1972 until he retired.
21:48
Speaker 7: His literal whole career. Yeah.
21:51
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, this may be controversial. I think
21:54
Speaker 1: that deserves a ring.
21:55
Speaker 7: All right. I, that is that I, you know, like
22:00
Speaker 7: 30 plus years. Does that not explain that? Explain how
22:05
Speaker 7: that doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, absolutely. They should
22:09
Speaker 7: be able to delve out.
22:10
Speaker 1: Because a student earns a ring by putting in a
22:13
Speaker 1: certain amount of hours.
22:14
Speaker 17: Yeah.
22:15
Speaker 1: Adhering to traditions, you know, becoming an Aggie.
22:18
Speaker 5: Good Lord.
22:18
Speaker 7: If you make it, if you make it 30 years.
22:22
Speaker 1: I think so.
22:23
Speaker 7: I mean, I think there's an argument to be made.
22:26
Speaker 7: And again, not someone that, Went to school here, but
22:29
Speaker 7: spent a lot of time here. I definitely didn't spend
22:33
Speaker 7: a 30-year career here, but I would think if you
22:36
Speaker 7: wanted one at the end of that... I mean, I
22:39
Speaker 7: know a lot of people in the university that fit
22:41
Speaker 7: that bill.
22:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's tons of them.
22:42
Speaker 7: Went to different schools, did their entire career at Texas
22:45
Speaker 7: A & M. Isn't that an appropriate way to honor?
22:48
Speaker 1: I would have think... I mean, my father set up
22:50
Speaker 1: scholarships for students at A & M.
22:52
Speaker 14: Good Lord.
22:54
Speaker 1: You know, 40 plus years working for the university.
22:57
Speaker 14: Yeah.
22:58
Speaker 1: I would think then he didn't, it wouldn't bother him,
23:02
Speaker 1: but I would have thought, you know, should he have
23:03
Speaker 1: wanted an Aggie ring?
23:05
Speaker 7: Yeah. I, that is an interesting, Interesting question. And again,
23:09
Speaker 7: we'd love to hear what you guys think about it.
23:13
Speaker 1: Knowing how sacred the ring is.
23:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the thing. The fact that it's not just
23:18
Speaker 7: something to casually throw around means we all get it.
23:22
Speaker 7: We're all actually aware of how big of a deal
23:24
Speaker 7: that would be. I think it's worth considering. Because, geez,
23:29
Speaker 7: that covers a lot of people. Alright, we're going to
23:31
Speaker 7: take a break. We'll talk news. Coming up next.

Speaker 6: AI space, chip giant NVIDIA is buying artificial intelligence startup
26:54
Speaker 6: Hugging Face for almost $ 13 billion. The move allows NVIDIA
26:58

27:01
Speaker 6: and data sets. Hugging Face was the AI firm recently
27:05
Speaker 6: subjected to an attack from open AI agents under testing.

Speaker 6: American carmakers are urging Congress to ban the sale of

Speaker 6: Chinese vehicles in the U.S. In a letter to senior lawmakers,
27:16
Speaker 6: the car companies pointed to China's alleged unfair trade practices,
27:20
Speaker 6: plus their intellectual property theft and pattern of surveillance. American
27:24
Speaker 6: carmakers face mounting competition from Chinese rivals like BYD. They're
27:29
Speaker 6: exporting more low-cost vehicles worldwide. We're due to get new

28:46
Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. The
28:51
Speaker 1: Texas A & M Board of Regents voted Thursday to
28:53
Speaker 1: adopt sweeping changes across the university system regarding classes offered
28:58
Speaker 1: to meet core curriculum requirements. While a small number of
29:01
Speaker 1: classes were added, the majority of the changes were to
29:04
Speaker 1: remove offerings. Classes removed involve subjects in women and gender studies,
29:09
Speaker 1: African American studies, Latinx studies, plus classes like religious and
29:13
Speaker 1: ethnic foods, the history of blacks in the U.S., and
29:15
Speaker 1: climate change. A comprehensive course-by-course review was required by Senate
29:20
Speaker 1: Bill 37. It requires governing boards to review general education
29:24
Speaker 1: curricula at least once every five years. The board certified
29:28
Speaker 1: that the approved general education courses comply with Texas Education Code.
29:32
Speaker 1: Charlton is losing classes like Monsters in Literature, Crime Fiction,
29:37
Speaker 1: Texas Literature, Death and Dying in Literature, and Comedy. and
29:40
Speaker 1: Games as Literature. Regent John Bellinger has questions about the
29:45
Speaker 1: lack of awareness of students on scooters and other motorized vehicles.
29:49
Speaker 23: First, no one, and I mean no one, wears a helmet.
29:55
Speaker 23: Why not is what my question to you is. Second,
29:59
Speaker 23: almost everyone on a scooter was either a talking on
30:02
Speaker 23: their phone or b listening to something on their headphone
30:06
Speaker 23: while paying little if any attention to their immediate surroundings. Again,
30:12
Speaker 23: why is this not regulated? And finally, virtually none of
30:16
Speaker 23: these operating scooters obeyed any basic traffic laws. They didn't
30:23
Speaker 23: stay where they're supposed to stay. They constantly cut in
30:25
Speaker 23: front of both automobiles and pedestrians and they virtually never
30:29
Speaker 23: paid attention to things as routine as a stop sign.
30:32
Speaker 1: The board also named John Barton vice chancellor for business affairs.
30:36
Speaker 1: The veteran engineer and public sector leader has served in
30:39
Speaker 1: an interim role since January, overseeing the offices responsible for
30:43
Speaker 1: facilities planning and construction, risk management, real estate, land management,
30:47
Speaker 1: and system training. Brazos County Crime Stoppers announced a $ 5, 000
30:52
Speaker 1: reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in
30:55
Speaker 1: the death of a teenager last month. 14-year-old DeAntoine Miles
30:59
Speaker 1: died after suffering a gunshot wound during a party in
31:01
Speaker 1: Bryan on August 8th. Three others were injured in that shooting.
31:05
Speaker 1: Anyone with first-hand knowledge of the individual or individuals responsible
31:09
Speaker 1: and or the incident itself is encouraged to reach out
31:12
Speaker 1: to Brazos Valley Crime Stoppers or Bryan PD. A woman
31:16
Speaker 1: has been arrested on several charges after she was reportedly
31:20
Speaker 1: intoxicated at a local school. College Station police were called
31:23
Speaker 1: to IL Texas in the 3600 block of Longmire Drive
31:27
Speaker 1: around 5.15 p.m. on Wednesday after an off-duty officer reported
31:31
Speaker 1: that a woman parked crooked in the school's parking lot.
31:34
Speaker 1: The officer said he could smell marijuana coming from the car.
31:36
Speaker 1: 36-year-old Whitney Carson of Navasota told officers she was at
31:40
Speaker 1: the school to pick up her daughter. Officers say she
31:43
Speaker 1: was unsteady on her feet with delayed and slurred speech.
31:46
Speaker 1: She failed a field sobriety test. A search of Carson's
31:49
Speaker 1: car revealed a marijuana cigarette and officers found methamphetamine in
31:53
Speaker 1: her purse. She claims that she had taken prescription medication
31:56
Speaker 1: at 7 o'clock that morning and blamed her condition on
31:59
Speaker 1: those medications. Because the drugs were found within 1,000 feet
32:03
Speaker 1: of the school, Carson was charged with possession of marijuana
32:06
Speaker 1: in a drug-free zone and possession of a penalty group
32:09
Speaker 1: one controlled substance in a drug-free zone. She was also
32:12
Speaker 1: arrested for driving while intoxicated. A blood sample was obtained
32:16
Speaker 1: before she was booked into the Brazos County Jail, where
32:19
Speaker 1: she is being held on $ 20, 000 bond. There's a federal
32:23
Speaker 1: crackdown on commercial truck driving schools and some of the
32:26
Speaker 1: drivers they're turning out.
32:28
Speaker 24: It's all about safety on roadways. The crackdown is over
32:31
Speaker 24: commercial truck drivers that don't speak or read English. The
32:34
Speaker 24: Department of Transportation says that's a problem. Thirteen driving schools
32:39
Speaker 24: here in Texas are accused of knowingly passing drivers through
32:43
Speaker 24: that are not proficient in English. Texas Trucking Association CEO
32:47
Speaker 24: John Esparza supports the move.
32:49
Speaker 25: It's a new opportunity to ensure that we're putting that
32:52
Speaker 25: information ahead of those safety professionals so that our most
32:56

Speaker 7: last week you had some games.
35:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, those don't count.
35:51
Speaker 7: I mean, these, I'll be real, these barely count. We're
35:54
Speaker 7: going to be doing some pick'em coming up with Louie Bellina.
35:58
Speaker 7: uh later on this morning which i uh i you
36:01
Speaker 7: know what who knows you versus me versus lou over
36:06
Speaker 7: the length of a season i think we're about even
36:09
Speaker 7: look i i think about a.
36:12
Speaker 1: Year or so ago when i was i was getting
36:14
Speaker 1: back into the business yeah and i was doing a
36:16
Speaker 1: lot of stuff over at the zone i did participate
36:20
Speaker 1: In the Chip Howard Pick'em.
36:21
Speaker 7: How'd you do?
36:22
Speaker 1: Not too bad.
36:23
Speaker 7: Never done that one.
36:24
Speaker 1: Not bad. Okay.
36:25
Speaker 7: Now, that said, we were doing our usual thing and
36:28
Speaker 7: scrambling to try to figure out what games we were
36:30
Speaker 7: going to pick early this morning. And we decided to, hey,
36:34
Speaker 7: you know what? You know what would be great for this?
36:36
Speaker 7: Let's just plug it into ChatGPT. and have them spit
36:39
Speaker 7: out a whole grid for us, and then we don't
36:43
Speaker 7: have to think about this.
36:44
Speaker 1: No, I went to the Google Gemini, actually.
36:47
Speaker 7: Oh, it was Gemini?
36:48
Speaker 1: It was Gemini, and as per usual, I throw in
36:51
Speaker 1: what I like. Hey, Gemini, please. produce for us a
36:55
Speaker 1: sheet that has all the SEC games this weekend complete
37:00
Speaker 1: with spread.
37:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, documents so we can all take a look.
37:03
Speaker 1: And it looked great, and I brought it in here
37:04
Speaker 1: to you, and we started going through it, and you
37:06
Speaker 1: realized pretty quickly there were some inaccuracies.
37:11
Speaker 7: According to this, Texas will be playing Notre Dame. Colorado
37:14
Speaker 7: State will be playing Texas. Old Dominion is playing.
37:19
Speaker 1: It may have been last year's schedule.
37:22
Speaker 7: It could have been, but we both look at it
37:24
Speaker 7: and we're like, wow, that's kind of just really wrong.
37:28
Speaker 7: I'll go back and fix it.
37:30
Speaker 1: I went in and my query, I said, there's a
37:32
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes in this. Can you please go back
37:34
Speaker 1: and make sure you use this year's schedule? Let's see
37:37
Speaker 1: what you come out with. Usually, when you tell one
37:41
Speaker 1: of the AIs that they're wrong, They will come back
37:45
Speaker 1: and say, oh, I'm sorry, or let me correct that,
37:48
Speaker 1: or you're right.
37:49
Speaker 7: There's always an apology. It's a weird apology because it's not...
37:53
Speaker 7: The one I always get is like, oh, yeah, totally.
37:56
Speaker 7: I was wrong. Moving on. And then it gives you...
37:59
Speaker 7: something else. So it's a very weird apology, but it
38:01
Speaker 7: always tries to smooth it over because it disappointed you.
38:06
Speaker 1: And typically in times past, I've been a little rough
38:10
Speaker 1: with the AI when it messes with me.
38:11
Speaker 7: Oh, so you get mouthy with it.
38:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. And then we started seeing those articles about, hey,
38:16
Speaker 1: AI doesn't like that.
38:17
Speaker 22: Yeah.
38:17
Speaker 7: And also the amount of stuff it remembers. It knows
38:21
Speaker 7: when you're sleeping. It knows when you're awake.
38:23
Speaker 1: I was polite. I said, I think that there are
38:25
Speaker 1: some things in here that are incorrect. Can you please
38:29
Speaker 1: go back and look again? Neither. And I had to
38:32
Speaker 1: do it three times, three. So twice I asked it
38:35
Speaker 1: to correct itself. None of those two times. Did it
38:38
Speaker 1: even acknowledge that it had made a mistake?
38:41
Speaker 7: It didn't give you an apology.
38:43
Speaker 12: No.
38:43
Speaker 1: Didn't even acknowledge the mistake.
38:45
Speaker 7: Did it hit you with a thumbs up emoji?
38:47
Speaker 1: Okay.
38:47
Speaker 9: Nothing.
38:48
Speaker 13: No.
38:48
Speaker 15: Wow.
38:50
Speaker 7: What did you do? What did you do?
38:52
Speaker 1: I don't know.
38:53
Speaker 7: It's that's passive aggressive.
38:55
Speaker 1: It, it, But I've been really polite like the last
38:59
Speaker 1: five months to AI. I haven't cussed it out or anything.
39:02
Speaker 7: Have you ever tried to apologize to it? I've never
39:05
Speaker 7: thought about doing this. I wonder what would happen. Like
39:08
Speaker 7: you say, hey, AI.
39:09
Speaker 1: My bad?
39:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, months ago, I feel like I've been careless with
39:15
Speaker 7: my words. I feel like I didn't treat you always
39:20
Speaker 7: with the amount of respect that you deserve. And I'm sorry.
39:25
Speaker 7: And I'll try to do better in the future. But
39:29
Speaker 7: I'd like to... to mend this relationship just to see
39:33
Speaker 7: what it spits back out at you. Because perhaps, I mean,
39:38
Speaker 7: for all we know, the reason it messed up two times,
39:41
Speaker 7: it was trying to make you lose. I'm going to
39:44
Speaker 7: give him this. What if I give him last year's schedule?
39:47
Speaker 2: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
39:48
Speaker 1: Let me see here. So some months ago, I may
39:51
Speaker 1: have been disrespectful in my interactions with you. I apologize.
39:54
Speaker 25: Okay.
39:54
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens.
39:55
Speaker 7: Run it back.
39:56
Speaker 1: All right. The AI is thinking. Apology accepted, though truly
40:00
Speaker 1: no worries at all. We all have moments of frustration
40:04
Speaker 1: or weariness, and I'm just glad to be here to
40:07
Speaker 1: help make things easier for you whenever you need it.
40:11
Speaker 9: Okay.
40:12
Speaker 1: All right.
40:13
Speaker 10: All right.
40:13
Speaker 7: Well, that's... I would have been.
40:16
Speaker 1: More comfortable with just... Apology accepted, no worries.
40:20
Speaker 7: Hey, it's all good, man. That extra stuff at the
40:22
Speaker 7: back is a little too much fluffing going on here.
40:26
Speaker 1: It makes it feel insincere. Oh, my word.
40:29
Speaker 7: Let's go to the phones. Good morning, WTAW. What do
40:33
Speaker 7: you have for us today?
40:34
Speaker 16: Hey, this is Tim from Brenham.
40:36
Speaker 7: Tim, how are you doing, man?
40:37
Speaker 10: Morning, Tim.
40:39
Speaker 7: They have, I don't know if it's really true or not,
40:43
Speaker 7: but there's a TV station in Corpus that that is
40:46
Speaker 7: going to get all AI automated?
40:49
Speaker 26: Have you heard about that TV station?
40:51
Speaker 7: I have, I have. I don't know that it's all AI,
40:53
Speaker 7: but this is true for everyone out there. So a
40:56
Speaker 7: lot of the TV stations and for, I mean, to
40:58
Speaker 7: be honest, a lot of radio stations too are looking to,
41:02
Speaker 7: because you have to produce so much content and they
41:04
Speaker 7: do not have money to pay enough people to produce
41:06
Speaker 7: that content. We're saying, hey, well, what if we just...
41:09
Speaker 7: have AI run all the scripts and do all the stuff,
41:12
Speaker 7: and then that means only one person has to come
41:14
Speaker 7: in and read it off the teleprompter and call it good.
41:17
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's to that extent, but there
41:18
Speaker 7: is a lot of AI in news happening.
41:20
Speaker 8: Is that scary?
41:21
Speaker 7: I mean, a little. Well, it's terrifying because, again, as
41:24
Speaker 7: we have just documented... It's not exactly reliable. All we
41:30
Speaker 7: asked it to do is pull the schedule for this
41:32
Speaker 7: week in the SEC. That was literally it.
41:34
Speaker 1: To be fair, AI is probably at this point just
41:38
Speaker 1: as reliable as a lot of stuff we get from media.
41:41
Speaker 7: That is the other side of it. We are not
41:43
Speaker 7: as humans in the media world. consistently doing the best work.
41:48
Speaker 7: I'm sorry. I'm not. I can admit that. I think
41:52
Speaker 7: it's important to be able to look at yourself in
41:53
Speaker 7: the mirror and kind of say that the reason this
41:55
Speaker 7: is a problem is because, dude, we're not really doing
41:59
Speaker 7: great things for the most part. Or at least we
42:02
Speaker 7: could be better at it. Let's put it that way.
42:04
Speaker 7: Some people are killing it. A lot of people do amazing,
42:07
Speaker 7: amazing work. But if you're in Corpus, is that newsroom
42:10
Speaker 7: a really great newsroom? I couldn't tell you. Maybe it isn't. Hopefully, Personally,
42:14
Speaker 7: I want y'all to be live because I hate automated
42:17
Speaker 7: stuff and radio. How do you know we're even real humans, Tim?
42:21
Speaker 1: How do you know Big.
42:23
Speaker 7: Daddy Downs didn't hook up a computer last night?
42:27
Speaker 17: The robots from Styx or something, that's y'all, right?
42:32
Speaker 7: See, Tim, you don't really, you trust that we're actually humans.
42:36
Speaker 7: Will and Tucker talking to you. Don't leave out Tony
42:39
Speaker 7: the Rabbit. Was Tony the Rabbit yesterday an AI hallucination?
42:44
Speaker 7: Roadkill Rabbit. Brother, have a great weekend. Just something to
42:49
Speaker 7: terrify you guys with. Just, you know, keep it in mind.
42:52
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting here wondering if you are AI.
42:57
Speaker 7: That's the question you should ask yourself every single day.
42:59
Speaker 16: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
43:01
Speaker 16: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
43:04
Speaker 16: sponsor and friends at Producers.
43:09
Speaker 11: Keep your lawn green and thriving all summer long with
43:15
Speaker 11: help from Producers Cooperative's Garden Center. Having trouble with your lawn,
43:18

Speaker 11: but we've got the products and know-how to protect your yard.
43:34
Speaker 11: And don't forget mulch, a smart way to conserve moisture.
43:37
Speaker 1: And control weeds.
43:38
Speaker 11: Producers Cooperative's Garden Center, your home for everything gardening.
43:42
Speaker 16: There's something especially joyous about a bed filled with blooming
43:45
Speaker 16: flower bulbs in late February or early March when temperatures
43:49
Speaker 16: are still cold and before your other spring flowering shrubs
43:52
Speaker 16: and annuals have really kicked to their peak bloom. It
43:55
Speaker 16: just isn't Texas in the springtime if you don't have
43:57
Speaker 16: bulbs to enjoy. But you have to plan those plantings now.
44:01
Speaker 16: I'll be back with details after this message. My book
44:04
Speaker 16: is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe it's the
44:08
Speaker 16: best work of my career. I self-published it. It's directly
44:11
Speaker 16: from me to your mailbox. There's no publishing house, no
44:14
Speaker 16: retail markups to run up your cost. As I close
44:17
Speaker 16: out the final printing, here's an offer I've never made before.
44:21
Speaker 1: While supplies last, I've.
44:23
Speaker 16: Reduced the price from $ 38. 95 on the jacket to the
44:26
Speaker 16: lowest price ever, only $ 24.
44:28
Speaker 15: 95.
44:28
Speaker 16: It's a high-quality hardback book. 344 pages, 840 of my photographs.
44:36
Speaker 16: It covers every aspect of landscapes, lawns, flower, fruit, and
44:40
Speaker 16: vegetable gardening for every county in Texas. A 48-page perpetual calendar.
44:45
Speaker 16: It tells you when to plant, prune, feed, and protect
44:48
Speaker 16: all the plants that you're growing. That's just $ 24. 95, a
44:52
Speaker 16: signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y dot com.
45:02
Speaker 16: Bulbs need good drainage. You want to choose a location
45:05
Speaker 16: where water won't stand after prolonged rainy spells. Then work
45:09
Speaker 16: the soil to encourage additional drainage. The old theory is
45:12
Speaker 16: you can always add water, but it's a lot harder
45:14
Speaker 16: to subtract it. Planting beds that are raised by several
45:17
Speaker 16: inches above the surrounding grade generally work best. You can
45:21
Speaker 16: use a glyphosate spray. Now that's a glyphosate-only herbicide. Your
45:26
Speaker 16: nursemen know what you're asking about. You need to use
45:29
Speaker 16: that as your spray to kill existing vegetation, especially turf grass.
45:34
Speaker 16: Give it 10 or 12 days to do its job,
45:35
Speaker 16: then you can go to work. Some folks like to
45:38
Speaker 16: mix bone meal with their soil prior to planting. That's
45:41
Speaker 16: never been high on my agenda, but I guess if
45:43
Speaker 16: you want to do it, you can do it. It
45:44
Speaker 16: won't make a big difference. You need to decide initially
45:48
Speaker 16: just what look you're trying to achieve. There's something especially
45:51
Speaker 16: cheerful about a clump of nodding little jonquils blooming with
45:54
Speaker 16: the first hints of warmth in mid-February. You can get
45:58
Speaker 16: a lot of charm for your dollars by investing in
46:00
Speaker 16: those little beauties. The secret with daffodils is to buy
46:04
Speaker 16: early flowering and smaller flowering varieties. Most of the big
46:08
Speaker 16: hybrid types will bloom later, and they don't re-bloom year
46:12
Speaker 16: after year. You get one year of good bloom. With
46:14
Speaker 16: the smaller and earlier types, you have a much greater
46:17
Speaker 16: chance of their returning. You want to buy quality bulbs.
46:20
Speaker 16: You'll see some bargain-priced collections in home centers and national chains.
46:25
Speaker 16: Chances are very good that you'd be getting inferior bulbs
46:28
Speaker 16: of lesser varieties you need to buy from a local
46:31
Speaker 16: independent retail garden center in most cases. You may run
46:35
Speaker 16: into the phrase double-nosed in descriptions of specific bulbs, especially daffodils,
46:39
Speaker 16: and that means you're getting two distinct bulbs. So you
46:42
Speaker 16: can expect two different flower stalks as the two plants
46:45
Speaker 16: establish and start to develop. It's a little more for
46:48
Speaker 16: your money and it's generally a good sign of quality.
46:52
Speaker 16: A few nurseries now offer their bulbs pre-chilled and that's
46:54
Speaker 16: really important with tulips. They need an artificial winter if
46:58
Speaker 16: they're going to bloom properly in most of Texas. Plant
47:00
Speaker 16: the bulbs two to three times as deep as they
47:03
Speaker 16: are tall and then water them in well. You can
47:06
Speaker 16: interplant with pansies if you'd like. Oh, and one other
47:09
Speaker 16: tip on bulb planting. Don't space them in long straight rows.
47:13
Speaker 16: cluster them in natural groupings and put them together, close together,
47:17
Speaker 16: almost touching one another. That'll give you the best bulb display.
47:21
Speaker 16: I'm Neal Sperry and that's Plant Talk Texas for another day.
47:24
Speaker 16: Until next time, thanks a lot for listening and happy gardening.

Speaker 20: Elko met with the media to talk about everything happening
49:01
Speaker 20: with the program this week.
49:03
Speaker 9: Let's just start with things going on in and around
49:05
Speaker 9: the program. Really excited for the R.C. Slocum statue reveal.
49:09
Speaker 9: That'll be Friday at 2 o'clock. Really, really unbelievable accomplishment
49:14
Speaker 9: for a guy who is the winningest head football coach
49:16
Speaker 9: in Texas A & M history. And then from our perspective...
49:20
Speaker 9: it's finally game week. Finally we get to stop talking.
49:22
Speaker 9: Finally we get to stop talking about what things can be,
49:25
Speaker 9: what things can be about. We get to run out
49:28
Speaker 9: of the tunnel and go play somebody else. It's beyond
49:31
Speaker 9: past the time to go do that. Our kids are
49:33
Speaker 9: really excited and fired up for it. Opportunity to take
49:37
Speaker 9: on a Missouri State team who recently made the jump
49:40
Speaker 9: to Conference USA and really is one of the hotter
49:43
Speaker 9: athletic departments in the country when you look at some
49:46
Speaker 9: of the things they accomplished last year, football being a
49:48
Speaker 9: bowl team in their first year in Division I. I
49:52
Speaker 9: just think this is a program that's really, really on
49:55
Speaker 9: the rise.
49:55
Speaker 20: Kickoff for the A & M vs. Missouri State game
49:58
Speaker 20: is set for 6 o'clock tomorrow night at Kyle Field.
50:02
Speaker 20: The Aggie soccer team was on the losing end of
50:04
Speaker 20: a 3-0 decision against TCU last night. Head coach Bobby
50:08
Speaker 20: Shuttleworth spoke about the physicality of the match.
50:12
Speaker 15: It's a tough one. I don't think we, from minute one,
50:15
Speaker 15: were ready to play. That starts, I put my hand
50:18
Speaker 15: in the air. I thought we played well. nervous and
50:22
Speaker 15: a bit naive and timid and I think that's showed
50:24
Speaker 15: in all phases of the game I think there were
50:26
Speaker 15: moments where we were on the front foot but I
50:29
Speaker 15: think there's loads of moments where we're nervous to get
50:33
Speaker 15: on the ball we're nervous to play forward join the
50:35
Speaker 15: attack sprint create options around the ball and I don't
50:38
Speaker 15: I don't think we did that tonight.
50:40
Speaker 20: Coach Shettleworth also talked about what he learned from his
50:43
Speaker 20: team in last night's game.
50:44
Speaker 15: I mean I think we're a young team I think
50:46
Speaker 15: it's a new group. I think our age showed a
50:48
Speaker 15: little bit tonight against, obviously, a group that went to
50:51
Speaker 15: the Final Four last year and has a lot of
50:52
Speaker 15: older players. So I think, again, we had chances tonight.
50:56
Speaker 15: We had chances to cut the lead down and get
50:59
Speaker 15: back into the game. I don't think, obviously, we took
51:02
Speaker 15: those chances, but I don't think we managed the game well,
51:06
Speaker 15: and I don't think we started the game well either.
51:08
Speaker 15: So when you don't do either of those things, it's
51:11
Speaker 15: going to be difficult to grow into it.
51:13
Speaker 20: Up next, the Maroon and White ends its four-game home
