  Speaker 1: this weekend, it'll be about 627. All right. Okay.

• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I've received four this this political season.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And we've mentioned it a few times and we have
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: not ever taken a break for me to just straight
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: up ask you. What's your strategy? How are you how
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: are you avoiding these things?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I almost think I at this stage I could call
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: myself an expert. Okay. That is if I had any
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: concept of what I did to try to.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: No, come on.
• 6:30
  Speaker 12: No.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: There has to be a behavior.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So a long time ago, I signed up on the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: no call list, whatever. Okay. A long time ago.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I try not to subscribe to a lot of things
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: on my phone. I monitor kind of the apps. that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I will put on my phone, you will find, for example,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: no games on my phone.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: No games whatsoever.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: None of those.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: No frivolous little things that just kind of are fun
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: and happy.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It's bad enough with the stuff that comes prepackaged on
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: your phone. I don't think you can eliminate all of it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You can just kind of mitigate it a little bit.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: One of the things that I do practice, however, is
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that You know, when you're when you're at a store,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a retail place, for example, and they have some sort
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of rewards program. Oh, say, say, you know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: You sign up for my app or like to give
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: me your phone number.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we can put it in there.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And so I try to avoid those.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I in certain cases, you kind of have to. And so,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for example, the place where I buy my dog food,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: which I dearly love. Dearly love America's Country Store. Love
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: all the people there and what they do.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Great place.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: There, Guitar Center, maybe Best Buy, several others. I've never
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: used my real name in those places.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I use an alias.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: You created an alias.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't create the alias.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I stole it. Don't tell them what it is.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: No, I'll share it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: What's your alias?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: My alias is Rusty Shackelford. You King of the Hill
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: fans will note that that is Dale Gribble's alter ego
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that he uses to outfox the government. So, yeah, I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: have to remember about every eight or ten months, depending
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on how much dog food Annie eats. how to spell
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Shackleford so they can look it up in the system
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: so I can get my free bag of dog food.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: So how many times have you used Rusty Shackleford?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I think there's probably a half dozen places here in
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: town that know me as Rusty Shackleford.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: That you are Mr.
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: Shackleford?
• 8:32
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Do they call you Mr. Shackleford?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: They do not. Nobody remembers that because I just don't
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: go in and introduce myself every time I'm in there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: King of the Hill is chock full of aliases, by
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the way.
• 8:42
  Speaker 14: It is.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: And you can choose. I would go with the Rusty Shackleford.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It seemed like a natural choice for me.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Take the pick. Find a character. No, I think there's
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: something to that. Obviously, whenever you give away your phone number,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: your email, anything like that, it's going to be.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I just had a brilliant idea.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Get them to give us their data.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get a phone, and I'm going to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: fill it full of contacts of people that I don't like. Oh,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to stock up on it. And then I'm
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: going to sign up for that app.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: You're going to go and turn that over to.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to win a Yeti on bad data.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: A Yeti, y'all. A Yeti.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: A Yeti.
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: A Yeti.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Do we even know if it's a Yeti cooler or
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: is it just a mug, like a $ 30 mug?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You mean a personal assault mug? Is that what you're
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: talking about?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Can we talk about that? We can talk about that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: This is bonkers. And this is one where I think
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: you guys might be able to participate. 979-695-1620. Have you
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: ever witnessed anything that was considered bad behavior by parents
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: at a youth sporting event? Have you ever been there
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: just watching the kids play and seen some type of
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: scumbag behavior by some of the other parents frequently taking
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: it too seriously? Because I've seen a lot of it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: I've kind of got it siloed in where you see
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: it the most in terms of what sports, what conditions.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: But I've never heard of someone almost, I've never heard
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: of this.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: We talk about the emotional support mug that my wife
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and children carry around with them. And we've also, at
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: least I've realized, in fact, I think we were talking
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: about self-security the other day. Yeah. And what weapons can
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you grab? And I actually pulled up my mug and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, you smacked somebody with that. And this
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: one doesn't even have a handle.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: But he was like, I could take this mug and
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: probably cause some damage. And I think you're right.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: But I have not.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Sugar Land, Texas.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Just down the road.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Used softball game. Got a little violent on Saturday. Some fisticuffs,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a little Donnybrook.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: That's already bad enough, by the way.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so apparently it was a 12-year-old select softball game,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Imperial Park. Parents from one team. The dad apparently was...
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: He was cheering or yelling or screaming at inappropriate times,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: like when the opposition was up at bat, trying to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: distract the batter.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Right, because this is the World Series. Oh, no, wait,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: it's not the World Series. No, it's a softball game
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: between 12 years old.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: 12U select.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, continue.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: So at any rate, somebody from the other team says, hey, man,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you can't do that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: How about we be cool?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, chill.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just trying to watch our kids.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: So after that. Kiarious, Marshawn Hall, and his wife, Jasmine,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: both decided to get into it with the person who said, hey, man,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: just calm down.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, they have a conversation?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: No, no, they started smacking him with the emotional support mug.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: They beat him senseless with a mug.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Fractured his skull in three places.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: They fractured his skull?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Broke several other bones, three brain bleeds.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: They almost killed him.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: They almost killed the guy.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: They almost killed this guy with a Yeti.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: This grandfather stepped in, tried to settle it down.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Well, thank God for him.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Gary Greaser. And he held his own for a while.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He stepped out with a broken hip.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: A broken hip!
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Several others, you know, he had some injuries from that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: But he's talking about it, too. So he's going to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: be all right. Seven stitches in his chin, scrapes, broken hip.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I beat up two people, just whipped them. Six ways
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: from Sunday with a mug.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Here's to me. So she, Jasmine, after this incident, had
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to resign. Well, she thought it best. She resigned from
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: her position.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: What did she do, Will?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: She's an assistant principal at Lamar Junior High School.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Again, common theme. What are we doing?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: What are we doing?

  Speaker 4: What are we doing? The junior high assistant principal nearly
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: killed two people with a Yeti.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: An emotional support mug.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Matt texted, don't put this on Yeti. He said that

  Speaker 1: With a hammer. It was a Stanley, by a matter
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of fact. Those things are deadly. They are. They are.

  Speaker 1: This is Brian Mayer, Bobby Gutierrez.
• 15:18
  Speaker 18: I've spent my life in business, and I brought the
• 15:20
  Speaker 18: same mindset to City Hall. When someone wants to invest
• 15:22
  Speaker 18: in Brian, create jobs, expand a business, or build something great,
• 15:26
  Speaker 18: our job should be to help find solutions, not create roadblocks.
• 15:30
  Speaker 18: It's called working at the speed of business. That approach
• 15:32
  Speaker 18: is helping create real momentum across Brian, and we're competing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 18: We're growing, and we're getting things done. I'm Bobby Gutierrez,
• 15:39
  Speaker 18: and I'd be honored to continue serving as your mayor.

• 16:17
  Speaker 20: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
• 16:21
  Speaker 20: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
• 16:25
  Speaker 20: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
• 16:28
  Speaker 20: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
• 16:31
  Speaker 20: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
• 16:35
  Speaker 20: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
• 16:39
  Speaker 20: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
• 16:42
  Speaker 20: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
• 16:46
  Speaker 21: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
• 16:50
  Speaker 21: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
• 16:53
  Speaker 21: drug cartels.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: He banned a state income tax.
• 16:56
  Speaker 21: So you keep more of your money and Texas remains
• 16:58
  Speaker 21: number one in job creation. And Governor Abbott keeps you
• 17:02
  Speaker 21: safe by fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals
• 17:05
  Speaker 21: locked up.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: That's the choice, Texas.
• 17:07
  Speaker 21: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
• 17:11
  Speaker 21: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.

  Speaker 4: us stuff from time to time on the WTAW Facebook primarily.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: If for some reason you haven't followed us on there,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: please do. This goes back to the green sauce debate,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: and I'm reading this because Brandon sent it in. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: had never heard of this product. He says that if
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: you're into the green sauce... you don't have to rely
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: on restaurants to provide it for you. You can just
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: get it at H-E-B.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on. H-E-B is... They're not blind to
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the ways of Texas, right? H-E-B, yeah. Yeah, so... Yeah,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: they've got a green sauce, and I've had it. It's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: reasonably good.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: It's called Salsa El Gallo Mexican Restaurant Style Taqueria Jalapeno,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: and it is not in a jar. It is in
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: a bag.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: And if you get that stuff, Brandon says... You can
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: have as much green sauce as you like.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Had the green sauce last night.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Where'd you go?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: We ordered some food from Polly's Casino.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Polly's. I forgot about Polly's altogether in that conversation.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: That's the wife spot. That's a shame.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: That's my bad.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the wife spot. I've been hit and miss
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: with them over the years. Currently, they're hitting because they've
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: got a really good pastor. And I'm a big fan
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of the pastor.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Big that. Tanya has also sent in a shout out
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: to Hermanos Marquez Mexican Restaurants on South College Avenue in Bryan.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Husband asked for a full bowl. of green sauce every time.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: A full, I'm going to guess that means like menudo bowl,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: like soup bowl. Yeah, because like, you know, but I
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: think that is the proper size serving that you need
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: for a lot of these really elite green sauces. I
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: was honestly surprised we still had a Sexiest Man Alive.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy? I'm surprised we still have a People magazine.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: How has that made it through all the PC stuff
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and we still have the Sexiest Man Alive?
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Sexiest Man Alive this year is.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Noah Wiley.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Noah Wiley.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Because of the pit.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the show that he's got there, The Pit, which
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: is a fantastic show.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Some people say up there with best medical shows. in history.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A lot of people, including people I know that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: are in the medical, especially people that work in ERs.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: People that work in ERs love The Pit.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: They love it or hate it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Do you have people that... What are the.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: The people who dislike it is because they just left
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: all of that and they want to get away from it.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: It's too real. It's too real.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: People I knew who did food service, they won't watch
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: The Bear. Like if they worked in a kitchen, they
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: won't watch the bear on FX. They're like, yo, no, no, no, no.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to go back to that.
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Which is a pretty good sign.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think it's fantastic. What an amazing thing.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And he takes this on as well. He says, it's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: incredible that lightning has struck twice in my career.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: People forget about this, that he started as a kid
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: doing another medical show.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: On ER. On ER.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Which arguably one of the biggest shows of all time.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: It must be because now this is the second sexiest
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: man alive.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: From that cast. I didn't know he won sexiest. Oh, wait, no,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: from the original cast. George Clooney. George Clooney was sexiest
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: man alive. It launched George Clooney. The show launched. He
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: was not a thing until ER. Also, Noah Wiley was
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: on there. Goose from Top Gun, which I never remember
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: his real name.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards. That was a stacked show.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Very much.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Absolutely stacked.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Some good casting in the early years. Man, I love that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: So Noah, Noah's sexiest man alive. He says, here's a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: few stats about him.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Biggest pet peeve, being late. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I like that. Absolutely. Favorite place in the world, Santa Ynez, California.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: He has a place there.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, sure.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: His secret talent is catching flies and releasing them. He says,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I have very, very fast hands. he does the miyagi
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: he does the miyagi yeah except he's catch and release
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: uh his biggest vice oh he has a vice he
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: has a vice he claims no while to get into
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: his biggest vice is instagram shopping oh specifically for he
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: says especially survival.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Gear stop it no uh Now, I'm voting for you, Noah.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Noah Wiley.

  Speaker 1: You have just become my sexiest man alive.

  Speaker 4: Noah Wiley shops for survival gear on Instagram.

• 22:31
  Speaker 1: up there. CMAs, Marconis.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Well, let's not forget the best of the brass.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The best of the brass.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: For 2026, which we got.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: If you want to score Sexiest Man Alive, we need
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to get you on a doctor show.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: We need to make a version of The Pit about St.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Joe's.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: That's what we need to do.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Somehow we've got to make it about radio, but radio's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: not that sexy anymore.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: No one cares about radio. Not in that sense. I mean,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: WKRP was great. There have been a few good radio shows.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: News radio. News radio, fantastic show, but I think the
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: key is the doctor show, so we just need to
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: start the Joes.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: The Joes.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: The Joes. I like that. Would I be the person
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: you cast for that?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: No, I can see it. You would make a great
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: lead doc in there because you don't see that giant, bald,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: tattoo-covered doc.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I think you may have the... I've got to be
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: the antagonist.
• 23:23
  Speaker 23: No, no.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: You hired me to play the heavy, like the hospital,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: the guy who's in the... Hey, we can't do that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Hospital says no. In my creative mind, you're the hero
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: in there because you're the anti-hero, right? Right. You don't look...
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Or sound or act like the hero's supposed to act.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: That's true. But you are the hero.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'd be lucky. I don't think I'd be
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: an extra in scrubs, to be honest with you. I'd
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: start somewhere.

• 25:48
  Speaker 26: LoneStarTransfer.com or call 855-551-7066. On this Wednesday, I'm thinking about
• 25:59
  Speaker 26: the political climate in the USA. Both parties are insecure
• 26:05
  Speaker 26: about the midterm vote. There's a lot in play, as
• 26:09
  Speaker 26: you know. Iran, Ukraine, socialism, and, of course, affordability. The
• 26:16
  Speaker 26: Democrats are making that the center of their campaign. But
• 26:22
  Speaker 26: people can't afford to live in blue states or cities,
• 26:27
  Speaker 26: as you may know. I'm in New York, highest taxed
• 26:30
  Speaker 26: state in the union. There's a tax on everything here.
• 26:36
  Speaker 26: So what are the Democrats going to do to make
• 26:38
  Speaker 26: my life and everybody else here more affordable? If you
• 26:42
  Speaker 26: are taking money from hardworking people, we, those people, have
• 26:48
  Speaker 26: less money. That's not affordability. That is what the progressives
• 26:53
  Speaker 26: are selling. And there are millions of people buying. The
• 26:59
  Speaker 26: problem with the midterm election is that we are no
• 27:01
  Speaker 26: longer living in the real world. You would expect leaders
• 27:06
  Speaker 26: of the Democratic Party to have some kind of answer
• 27:10
  Speaker 26: to explain how they will lower prices for the folks.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: They do not.
• 27:17
  Speaker 26: They have no plan to put money in people's pockets.
• 27:21
  Speaker 26: One party is running on an issue they have no
• 27:25
  Speaker 26: solutions for. The other party, Republicans, basically ignore it. That's
• 27:31
  Speaker 26: not partisan. That's factual.
• 27:35

  Speaker 1: You ran right past the ball.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I swear, coach, I had it in my sights.
• 36:18
  Speaker 18: It just vanished.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: And what about you, Morgan?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: You threw the ball to the other team.
• 36:22
  Speaker 11: What's going on, son?
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, coach. It's like I can't see the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: field clearly anymore. Everything's a blur.
• 36:29
  Speaker 19: All right, okay.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Team, huddle up. Here's the new play. We're all heading

  Speaker 8: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: who can afford the longest fight.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Texas courts belong to the people.
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: That means judges should be accountable, rules should be clear,
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: and the system should be accessible to those who rely
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more than a principle.
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Clear rules.
• 38:00

  Speaker 4: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, CM4 maniacs. We have done our due
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: diligence this morning and checked the fog situation. Now, keep
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: in mind, this is only the fog situation here at
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: the Crystal Park Plaza slash Guarantee Bank building on the
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: corner of Highway 6 and 2818.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: And about half the time, we can't figure out if
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: it's fog on the glass or fog out there. It
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: looks like fog out there.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Today, I feel pretty sure... that what we're seeing is
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: dense fog where we are like it's it's gross now
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: is it where you are i don't know but you
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: could run into some dense fog uh as you make
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: your way around town this morning take it slow because
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: when we say dense we mean dense we'll burn off
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: eventually and we'll get to the mid 80s today 30
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: to 40 chance of showers and thunderstorms down to the
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: 60s tonight A couple more chances of rain this weekend,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: but what's really intriguing is what Will has in front
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: of him right now.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Looking ahead, I kind of noticed this
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: yesterday on the 10-day forecast. Folks, if you haven't done
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: so already, it may be time to dig the jackets out.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Why are you making a face.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: For it, Tucker? Because you just said the thing.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: You just said the thing. You said it might be
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: time to go and get the... Now, I feel like
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: it might jinx it a little bit.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we can jinx this.
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: What are we looking at?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: A polar vortex.
• 39:37
  Speaker 13: And I don't know.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: You don't know how low it's going to get anyway.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Right now, we're looking at Thursday and Friday next week.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Our high on Thursday is going to be 60. Our high...
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: On Friday is listed at 59. The lows on those days,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: 45 on Thursday, 43 on Friday, and breezy.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: That's gumbo weather.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: That's hunting weather. That's sitting around the fire pit with
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: a cigar weather.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Mighty nice. Mighty nice. Did we talk about your cooler
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: situation on the show? Oh, my freezer situation?
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your freezer situation. So I can't remember if we
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: mentioned it or not. We may have briefly covered it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: This is a nightmare. We really should have gone back
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: into this yesterday, but yesterday was crazy. So the long
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: story short, you've had a freezer emergency.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a freezer that went out. I'm not
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: sure exactly when. It's down at the Smokehouse studio, so it's...
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Every so often I'd go in there and I'd smell something.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: We'd look around for something dead. But it wasn't bad, right?
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: It wasn't horrible.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I discovered on Saturday morning that that freezer had
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: been out and it looked probably a month or so.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: What was in this freezer, Will?
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Well, there was an assortment of meats and things like that. Fortunately,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: not a lot of venison in that freezer, so I
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: didn't lose much of the good stuff. And honestly, I
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: was going to clean it all out pretty soon anyway,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: just because nothing had been used in there for quite
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: some time. Yeah, I cracked it open once, and then
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I went, oh, God.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: That's a mistake.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: But this is a job you just have to go do.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: So this is what I wanted to ask, because we
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: were talking about this originally. You did say the same thing.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: And walk me through your process. So now you've got
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: a freezer full of death.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: The process is rubber gloves, a trash can with contractor bags.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Okay. three of which I filled up from that freezer,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: hauling those down to my dumpster, putting those in there. Now,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the remainder was that there was, oh, four to six
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: inches of liquid.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Of slime.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: In the bottom of that freezer.
• 41:47
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: And honestly, after hauling the stuff out of it and
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: putting it in the dumpster, I did not have the
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: stomach to go back and No. Finish that job. No.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: So yesterday I began tackling the finish of that.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: You went back to it.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: I have to. So I drug it out of the
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: out of the smokehouse studio. Yeah. It's not in the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: studio side is in the smokehouse side. Drug it out.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Got it out on the deck that surrounds the little
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: out building and turned it over and ran away.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: And.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Shortly thereafter.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: You just dumped it over and ran.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it's on the backside of the property. Nobody
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: goes down there.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's better than probably other options.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I had to go back down there a
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: few minutes later because there was a delivery down there.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: And when I returned, I did notice that there were
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: in trees all around the dumpster.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: A gaggle of buzzards.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: And then I go down to the smokehouse, and there
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: are buzzards around that. So if you ever need to
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: attract buzzards.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how you do it, man. That's how you
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I think I could have probably taken that freezer with
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: a giant hook on it and put it in a
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: body of water and caught the largest catfish imaginable.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: That's... Okay, so that was my.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: That was the smell.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: That's really what I'm aiming for here, Will. I.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't it be easier to just take a screwdriver, screw
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: it shut like Dracula himself is living in there, and
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: then just take it anywhere? Take it to a tank?
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: take it to the dump, and then just all.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Is one into the sea. You have to dispose of
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: them properly because they've got refrigerants in them. First off.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Second off, that would make it incredibly heavy and more
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: likely that I would drop it, thereby spilling its contents.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: A meat bomb. All over.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: That's not going to work. It's not the first time
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I've dealt with this.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Option number two. Why not just take it out to
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: the middle of the property? Open it. and then run
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: the other direction, let the vultures do the cleaning for you.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: That could have been a possibility, and it might have
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: attracted maybe even some of those varmints that I like
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: to shoot at.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: Exactly. I mean, let nature, let the.
• 44:05
  Speaker 31: Possums, the garbage creatures take care of it for you.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: That would involve loading it and hauling it full. which
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: was not going to be an option.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: It's a nuclear bomb.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. It is concentrated stink bait. Sean texts in, by

  Speaker 1: the way, in a picture as well. Fog is really
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: thick out there.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Look at that.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: His picture, University Drive there. Visibility is very down.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: Look at that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: We also have Trey that has texted a major slowdown
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: northbound Highway 6 right after the Fitch exit. Don't know
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: what's going on down there, but we'll take a look.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, like we said, we'll take a look. But
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: the best advice we can give you is plan an
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: extra 20 minutes getting wherever you're going to get. Because
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: if you run into some of this fog, it is
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: pretty dense. Mark says, you need to explore level sensor, Yolink,
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: freezer alarms.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm very familiar with those.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: We've all been in this situation.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: In this case... I didn't have it down there because
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: while we were living down there, I was in and
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: out of it all the time. But now that it's
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: just kind of, I use it as temporary storage.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Like if I'm about to smoke something, I'll move.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: It down there and then put it in the refrigerator
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: that's down there to begin the thaw process.
• 45:16
  Speaker 12: The worst.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: All right, back after this, guys.
• 45:17
  Speaker 25: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family,
• 45:20
  Speaker 25: and I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 45:23
  Speaker 25: of Child's Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family
• 45:26
  Speaker 25: Minute to you each morning.
• 45:28

• 45:59
  Speaker 25: Do you have a good marriage but feel cut off
• 46:01
  Speaker 25: from friends and other couples? That's a common problem among
• 46:05
  Speaker 25: many young parents. Raising children while working full-time is exhausting.
• 46:11
  Speaker 25: And your schedule doesn't slow down on the weekends. Your
• 46:13
  Speaker 25: children have games and you have errands to run. There's
• 46:16
  Speaker 25: not much energy or time for any social life. Other
• 46:20
  Speaker 25: than a good nap, a healthy social life may be
• 46:23
  Speaker 25: just what you need. Isolation is dangerous to your marriage.
• 46:27
  Speaker 25: It cuts you off from people who can influence you
• 46:29
  Speaker 25: in positive ways. When the only voice you hear is
• 46:32
  Speaker 25: your own, it won't take long for what's good about
• 46:35
  Speaker 25: your marriage to get bad, and what's bad to get worse.
• 46:39
  Speaker 25: There is strength in community. It's always been that way.
• 46:43
  Speaker 25: The Roman army was nearly invincible because the soldiers locked
• 46:46
  Speaker 25: their shields together, uniting them as one. The giant sequoia
• 46:51
  Speaker 25: trees in the Pacific Northwest have stood for centuries because
• 46:55
  Speaker 25: they are intertwined by their root systems. The key to
• 46:58
  Speaker 25: success is not isolation, but community. Building a thriving marriage
• 47:02
  Speaker 25: isn't easy. Like most couples, you're probably under immense pressure
• 47:06
  Speaker 25: and need all the encouragement and support you can get.
• 47:09
  Speaker 25: You'll find it when you step out of isolation and
• 47:12
  Speaker 25: connect with people who can bring positivity into your relationship
• 47:16
  Speaker 25: and who encourage you when times are tough. Isolation will
• 47:20
  Speaker 25: weaken your marriage, but there is strength in community. To
• 47:25

  Speaker 36: set for 2 o'clock. The Marina White have a 10-2
• 50:12
  Speaker 36: all-time record against the Gamecocks and are 4-2 in Columbia.
• 50:16

• 50:20
  Speaker 36: selected to the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year
• 50:23

• 50:41
  Speaker 36: Week and Eliza Sharp earned Defensive Player of the Week
• 50:44
  Speaker 36: following the Maroon and Whites' pair of road victories. Stowers
• 50:48
  Speaker 36: met with the media to recap the team's big win
• 50:50
  Speaker 36: against Kentucky from over the weekend.
• 50:53
  Speaker 37: I mean, it definitely meant a lot going into the
• 50:55
  Speaker 37: Kentucky game. I know a lot of people were asking
• 50:57
  Speaker 37: questions about like, oh, it's the rematch. Like, are you
• 50:59
  Speaker 37: all excited?
• 51:00
  Speaker 38: All the things.
• 51:01
  Speaker 37: But then obviously you look at it and it's two
• 51:02
  Speaker 37: brand new rosters. So going into the game, it was
• 51:04
  Speaker 37: basically just a reset and go back out there and compete.
• 51:06
  Speaker 37: And so being able to go into their home and
• 51:09
  Speaker 37: sweep them again, honestly, was pretty sweet. And I think
• 51:13
  Speaker 37: that it kind of just started the ball rolling so
• 51:15
  Speaker 37: that we can continue on that path the rest of
• 51:17
  Speaker 37: the season, especially against, you know, a top five team.
• 51:19
  Speaker 37: Like they're still really good. They're a legit team. And
• 51:21
  Speaker 37: so being able to go in there and, kind of
• 51:23
  Speaker 37: prove what we've been working on and put that to
• 51:25
  Speaker 37: show was good. And hopefully we can just keep going
• 51:28
  Speaker 37: with that.
• 51:29
  Speaker 36: The Ags also moved up two spots in the AVCA
• 51:32
  Speaker 36: poll rankings, moving to the 17th position and are in
• 51:35
  Speaker 36: their 27th consecutive week in the top 25. Head coach
• 51:40
  Speaker 36: Jamie Morrison shared thoughts on the team's progression this season
• 51:43
  Speaker 36: and this week's upcoming game.
• 51:46
  Speaker 39: Really happy with the path our team's on. And I
• 51:48
  Speaker 39: think some of the things that I was probably sitting
• 51:50
  Speaker 39: in this chair frustrated with, I think we've addressed, fixed,
• 51:53
  Speaker 39: and we're playing really good volleyball right now. So I
• 51:55
  Speaker 39: had the time of my life on Sunday, not necessarily
• 51:57
  Speaker 39: because we won, just because I thought we were letting
• 51:59
  Speaker 39: the game flow from us. And when you get to
• 52:00
  Speaker 39: that point, it becomes a lot more enjoyable where you
• 52:02
  Speaker 39: get to kind of go out and compete as well
• 52:03
  Speaker 39: as a coach. And the second thing is just encouraging
• 52:05
  Speaker 39: people to get out here on Friday. I think it'll
• 52:07
  Speaker 39: be a really fun match. One, that's a really good
• 52:09
  Speaker 39: volleyball team that we're going up against.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: So we need support.
• 52:11
  Speaker 39: But secondly, just a lot of festivities happening around Halloween
• 52:14
  Speaker 39: for that. So I think one, we need support. So
• 52:16
  Speaker 39: 12 men get out here in the second piece. Again,
• 52:19
  Speaker 39: I think it'll be really fun like it was last
• 52:20
  Speaker 39: year against Texas.
• 52:22
  Speaker 36: Up next, A & M returns to action this week,
• 52:24

• 54:52
  Speaker 1: to the fog, which again, we weren't making it up, guys.
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: Dense fog advisory. It means dense fog, and it's gross outside.
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: Text messages, because if you do see anything backed up,
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: you want to share it with us, please do. Greg
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: says eastbound 60 at the slalom course slash diverging diamond.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Is backed up about half a mile i think that's
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: more of a giant slalom course than a standard slalom.
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: It's like playing mario kart it pretty.
• 55:24
  Speaker 31: Much is that and then uh and then william joel
• 55:27
  Speaker 31: bryan once you get to you know you approach haswell
• 55:30
  Speaker 31: from either side you get the little uh you get
• 55:32
  Speaker 31: the the slalom action but that's uh that's.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah so be careful Be careful out there. It will
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: burn off eventually, and then we'll be left with maybe 30%,
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: 40% chance of rain, I think is what we're aiming for,
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: and a high in the low to mid 80s.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Lots of people saying that there's... There's a bunch of
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: traffic out there in various places.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, very ugly. And let's see. Also, yeah, they say
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: gridlock on 2818. Also, look, it's one of those days
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: where if you can go in later or you can
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: just avoid getting out in it when it's still like
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: soup outside, it's probably... gonna be good for your mental health.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah i'm not seeing any accidents uh on the accident
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: map currently just slowdowns.
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah just slowdowns just people making their way in so
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: be careful and uh then yeah it's like we said
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: this should burn off eventually but i'm guessing it's gonna
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: be a minute or two.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Well the dense fog advisory was only until eight o'clock Really?
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: They thought 8?
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they thought 8. I think we probably should get
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: an extension on that. I'll double-check that here in the break.
