  Speaker 12: was a.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: A Northgate fight.
• 6:13
  Speaker 12: There was a battle royale.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Wait, it's better than, you know, a shootout, right?
• 6:19
  Speaker 12: No, I got no problems with the good dust stuff
• 6:22
  Speaker 12: at the country bar.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, a little fisticuffs, a little Donnybrook.
• 6:25
  Speaker 12: The one thing I do have questions about, Is the
• 6:28
  Speaker 12: ages of the participants, Will.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 12: The ages of the participants.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: You can find it online at WTAW.com. And it looks
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: like I don't think that the majority of them were students, right?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I don't. Especially the two that were from Lubbock. Yes.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That were 45 and 43.
• 6:52
  Speaker 12: I don't mean to. I don't mean to. All I'm
• 6:55
  Speaker 12: saying is don't take this wrong. They look like the
• 6:58
  Speaker 12: types that would come from Lubbock.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're dead on.
• 7:02
  Speaker 12: At those particular age ranges.
• 7:04
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 7:05
  Speaker 12: So you're 45 years old, and you're getting in a
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: fight with 20-somethings at the club.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's only very few, very limited circumstances where that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: would be appropriate.
• 7:19
  Speaker 12: I just have quite, and as you would expect, the
• 7:23
  Speaker 12: ladies followed suit.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, got to get involved.
• 7:25
  Speaker 12: With the undercard. You know what I mean? I am
• 7:32
  Speaker 12: also 45 years old, so I'm the same age as
• 7:36
  Speaker 12: this gentleman here.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You look a lot better.
• 7:39
  Speaker 12: Thank God for that. Now, keep in mind, I haven't
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: drank in a long time, so I've had no reason
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: to be darkening the doorsteps of Northgate establishments like Hurricane Harris.
• 7:53
  Speaker 12: I'll say that I haven't because a show back in
• 7:56
  Speaker 12: the old days, you and I both lived there.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 12: Yeah. But even, even post drinking career, you know, like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 12: like Parker McCollum rolls through Hurricane Harris, the old location.
• 8:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You're going to go.
• 8:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah. I'm going to be there. I'm going to go
• 8:11
  Speaker 12: check that out. I'm just not, I'm not, I'm not
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: drinking while I'm out there. But even then, when I
• 8:17
  Speaker 12: walked into a bar, it, Good Lord, I don't know.
• 8:21
  Speaker 12: When was the age where you felt too old to
• 8:25
  Speaker 12: be at Northgate? Or has that never happened?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I will say that's never happened because Northgate is
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: an all-encompassing thing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: True.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: And we will go for a lunch or an early
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: evening gathering, a little dinner maybe at the Chicken.
• 8:43
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: As far as going out and drinking Northgate?
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: Right, right.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It's been, I think the last time I did that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: was probably between five and ten years ago, and I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: was certainly too old at that time.
• 8:55
  Speaker 12: What do you guys think? You want to weigh in
• 8:56
  Speaker 12: on this? Like, what's the age where you really become
• 9:00
  Speaker 12: too old to be, you know, going bar to bar
• 9:04
  Speaker 12: at Northgate? I would say, honestly... Man, 25 is pushing it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I was going to give it 30 at the outside.
• 9:15
  Speaker 12: 30 for the absolute max out. You have no business
• 9:19
  Speaker 12: being there after 10 o'clock at night.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 12: Like, 30. Then it turns weird.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's either creepy or nefarious.
• 9:31
  Speaker 12: But I do think you're correct, Will. I think that
• 9:33
  Speaker 12: some of the establishments definitely... If you're just talking about
• 9:38
  Speaker 12: certain establishments, there is no cap. There is no cap
• 9:42
  Speaker 12: on the Dixie Chick. You could be 105 and roll
• 9:44
  Speaker 12: into the Dixie Chicken and still be right at home.
• 9:49
  Speaker 12: There are probably a couple of other ones that are
• 9:52
  Speaker 12: out there that, you know, you probably get into your 40s.
• 9:55
  Speaker 12: When West End Elixir was still around back out there,
• 9:58
  Speaker 12: remember that?
• 9:58
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 9:59
  Speaker 12: I would say no age. range like yet agree no
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: age limit you that was your that was your pass
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: if you were on the older end of the spectrum
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: uh but yeah feel free it's maybe some of y'all
• 10:10
  Speaker 12: disagree what do i know maybe it keeps you young
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: at heart what do i know But again, the mug
• 10:16
  Speaker 12: shots don't lie, is all I'm saying.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And the fact that it was after 2 a.m., right?
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: That's another thing. Even if you wanted to, at your age,
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: could you close down a bar? Think it through. I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: a hard no. Because again, once it gets to be
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: about 10 to 11 o'clock.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: At night, I'm out.
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: There is no activity that I'm going to be participating
• 10:43
  Speaker 12: in because I'm ready for sleep. Maybe some of you
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: guys have that skill still going into your 40s and 50s,
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: but man, somehow I just doubt it. We've got to
• 10:55

• 13:27
  Speaker 12: took us up on that. He says, and this goes
• 13:30
  Speaker 12: back a ways. We were talking about the... the Texags
• 13:33
  Speaker 12: Mike Elko dust-up. Will suggested the best course of action
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: was to, at some point, if you're Elko this week,
• 13:40
  Speaker 12: you can get in front of a mic, apologize. Just
• 13:42
  Speaker 12: say you were having a bad day. All will be forgiven.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know that all will be forgiven, but it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: a necessary step on the road to forgiveness.
• 13:50
  Speaker 12: I think that basically neutralizes it. Terry disagrees. He says,
• 13:56
  Speaker 12: I don't see an apology forthcoming. Keep this issue rolling
• 13:58
  Speaker 12: and distracting from the on-the-field lackluster performance. then hope your
• 14:02
  Speaker 12: team's improved feature takes over the narrative. Like a distraction,
• 14:05
  Speaker 12: like off of the fact that the team is not good.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think Coach Elko thinks like that. I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: think there's coaches out there that do think like that.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But I don't think Elko's one of them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't think that's his vibe, but we will see.
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: Back to the Northgate issue. Christopher, for me, age is
• 14:22
  Speaker 12: not an issue. I can go out all night and
• 14:25
  Speaker 12: dance and party. But what keeps me in every night
• 14:27
  Speaker 12: is the price of the beverage is cheaper. To do
• 14:31
  Speaker 12: everything at the house and not have to worry about
• 14:32
  Speaker 12: the consequences out on them streets.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know how old Christopher is.
• 14:37
  Speaker 12: I would like to know how old you are, Christopher.
• 14:40
  Speaker 12: Good Lord.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I agree with those points.
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: I noticed a real drop in performance in my ability
• 14:48
  Speaker 12: to rage. Probably in between 29 and 30. That's where
• 14:52
  Speaker 12: it was like, oh boy. This is taking a toll.
• 14:56
  Speaker 12: That was really where the issues began. There's no chance
• 15:01
  Speaker 12: in hell that even at my wildest, in this body,
• 15:05
  Speaker 12: I could go until midnight. Not a chance.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I have been pulling off. Oh, Chris says he's 40.
• 15:11
  Speaker 12: Okay, well, all right, brother.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right there. You're on the verge. It's coming.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I've been pulling off, especially on Fridays with the away
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: high school football games, I've been pulling off 20 to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: 23-hour day. That's insane, Will.
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: That's insane.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: So it's possible that I could.
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: you think you might still, you might, but not as
• 15:31
  Speaker 12: good as you once were, but you're as good once
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: as you ever were.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But I just don't know that I'm willing to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: pay the price that would come from that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, the price I pay already without drinking involved
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of how I feel on a Saturday morning after I've
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: had these 22 plus hour Fridays is bad enough.
• 15:49
  Speaker 12: It's, it's not, not pleasant. Uh, not a good thing.
• 15:52
  Speaker 12: I want to talk about, um, hairstyles for a second
• 15:55
  Speaker 12: because i i don't remember we talked about this on
• 15:57
  Speaker 12: the show or not the fact that 80s hairstyles universally
• 16:00
  Speaker 12: are kind of back we talked about.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Not just hairstyles a lot of things from the 80s
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 16:05
  Speaker 12: Of fashion yeah from the 80s is is.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: It's not the first time it's looping back around no.
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: But it always the thing that people some people realize
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: about fashion it goes in an eternal loop it is
• 16:17
  Speaker 12: cyclical eternal everything comes around And then it goes out
• 16:22
  Speaker 12: of style again, but it's always in order. And so
• 16:25
  Speaker 12: I've been waiting to see if this would actually come
• 16:29
  Speaker 12: back after mullets and mustaches and perms and high hairspray,
• 16:34
  Speaker 12: everything and whatever. And it has. According to this, Will,
• 16:38
  Speaker 12: the Frosted Tips are making their return.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Did you ever do the Frosted Tips?
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: You know I did the Frosted Tips. Are you kidding me?
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: I was a kid in the 90s. I absolutely had
• 16:52
  Speaker 12: Frosted Tips.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I did not.
• 16:54
  Speaker 12: Well, you were a little bit younger than me.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: A little bit younger, but then... Oh, you're older than me. Sorry, yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But the point was that as long as my parents
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: were paying for a haircut, there would be no frosted tips.
• 17:08
  Speaker 20: Right?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: You'd go get a haircut.
• 17:10
  Speaker 12: That was also the gauntlet that was laid down in
• 17:13
  Speaker 12: my household. Mom's like, as long as I'm paying.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Now, when I was a big radio star in Austin...
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I actually went to a stylist for the first time.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: We tried the frosting. My hair does not take well,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: at least during my youth, to dying.
• 17:29
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, I mean, it was kind of, it was
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: too subtle. It really didn't work out. The juice wasn't
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: good enough for the squeeze that it took to get there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: So I went all the way bleached. on like five
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: or six occasions. Like I would just shock my, especially
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: during the summer because like I didn't have dress issues.
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: So I would just shock the living hell.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Out of it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 13: Oh, I tried.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I put the sun in it. I put the bleach
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in it. The hydrogen peroxide, whatever.
• 17:53
  Speaker 12: It would take three different applications, but I could actually,
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: I could get my hair 90% to just like shocked
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: bleach white. Now, if you've seen a picture of me recently,
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: you'll notice what's he talking about? He doesn't have a
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: stitch of hair on his head.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe you burned it all off.
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: Are these related?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Could be.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: Absolutely.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: But the Frosted Tips are back.
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: They are. That's what they're saying. It's last, obviously. Incarnation
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: was the boy band thing.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: But one of the boy banders is part of bringing
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it back.
• 18:27
  Speaker 12: Which one?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Lance Bass.
• 18:28
  Speaker 12: Lance is reclaiming it?
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 18:31
  Speaker 12: Holy cow.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said he went back to Frosted Tips last December,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and he said at that time, get me a Walkman
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and some cargos, and it's like 97 all over again.
• 18:40
  Speaker 12: You know, if it makes you feel young, brother, you
• 18:43
  Speaker 12: do that thing. But will it catch on the same way?
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: The key is to watch your high school kids because
• 18:49
  Speaker 12: that's where the mullet started happening. And then from there,
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: it spreads.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I think the high school kids, what they've done is
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: like they get the bleach. They go the blonde over
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the summer, like you were mentioning. And essentially what they're
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: doing is. is allowing that to grow out, and then
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: it looks like frosted tips. Oh, is that, yeah. So
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: they're essentially getting two hairstyles for the price of one.
• 19:12
  Speaker 12: Yeah, exactly. Bleach it out, and then just give it time,
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: and then boom, you're good to go. Helen, by the way,
• 19:17
  Speaker 12: also does this with her kids. She says, absolutely, I'll
• 19:20
  Speaker 12: tell my kids my dollars, my way. You want to
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: get some crazy hairstyle, then you're going to be giving
• 19:28
  Speaker 12: yourself a side hustle.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: With my dad, it was less about the hairstyle. The
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: hairstyle was certainly part of it, right? Because I had
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to look like a young gentleman. But the other thing was,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not paying more than $ 10 for a haircut.
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: You know what? Once again, some wisdom there. Back to
• 19:47
  Speaker 12: the how old is too old for Northgate.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Garrett.
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: He says he's 37. When it comes to raging all night,
• 19:54
  Speaker 12: the ability is there, but the desire left the building
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: about five years ago.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: You know what, Garrett? Good for you.
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: Ryan.
• 20:01
  Speaker 12: Even in my 20s, I preferred partying at home. Cheaper beer,
• 20:05
  Speaker 12: no lines, less people, and you don't need a DD.
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: You can drink until you crash. Bars tend to frown
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: on drinking till you crash.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't like that much.
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: You know what? And the cops don't either.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and unless, I mean, if you're drinking at home alone,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: unless you've got multiple personality disorder, you're not going to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: get in a fight with anybody.
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: That's the best point for the morning.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: AI, big tech.
• 20:29
  Speaker 21: And online predators are creating new threats for our children
• 20:32
  Speaker 21: every day. As a father, Paul Dyson knows how dangerous
• 20:36
  Speaker 21: these platforms can be. That's why he passed a law
• 20:39
  Speaker 21: stopping big tech and predators from targeting Texas children. And
• 20:43
  Speaker 21: he passed legislation blocking AI from being used as a
• 20:46
  Speaker 21: weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul Dyson is protecting
• 20:50
  Speaker 21: our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe. Political ad
• 20:54
  Speaker 21: paid for by Paul Dyson for Texas.
• 20:56
  Speaker 22: Does your sewing machine go clankety-clank or bang, bang, bang, bang?
• 20:59
  Speaker 22: If it does, you need to come on down to
• 21:01
  Speaker 22: Sovac City. Sovac City has been repairing sewing machines in
• 21:04
  Speaker 22: the Brazos Valley for almost 30 years now. We can
• 21:06
  Speaker 22: fix most any home sewing machine from the most simple
• 21:09
  Speaker 22: to the big computerized embroidery machines. At Sovac City, we
• 21:12
  Speaker 22: stock thousands of parts so we can get your machine
• 21:14
  Speaker 22: back to you in a timely manner.

• 21:17
  Speaker 1: If it isn't right, we'll make it right. Wonder if
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: we're really that good?
• 21:20
  Speaker 22: Ask your neighbor. We probably fixed hers.
• 21:22
  Speaker 12: Sovac City on the feeder road between Deacon and Rock Prairie.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Come on down and see us.
• 21:27
  Speaker 16: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 21:30
  Speaker 16: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 21:34
  Speaker 16: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 21:38
  Speaker 16: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 21:40
  Speaker 16: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 21:44
  Speaker 16: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 21:47
  Speaker 16: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 21:52
  Speaker 16: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 21:55
  Speaker 16: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 21:58
  Speaker 16: who can afford the longest fight.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Texas courts belong to the people.
• 22:02
  Speaker 16: That means judges should be accountable, rules should be clear,
• 22:06
  Speaker 16: and the system should be accessible to those who rely
• 22:09
  Speaker 16: on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more than a principle.
• 22:12
  Speaker 16: It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 16: afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock. Clear rules, accountable courts,
• 22:22
  Speaker 16: equal justice under law.

• 22:26
  Speaker 12: Someone left the blinds on. behind me blinds open like
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: yeah the blind blinds on yeah i don't know why
• 22:35
  Speaker 12: usually we keep this pretty closed in but i look
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: like i'm i look like i'm doing the show from
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: in front of a nice tall tequila sunrise it's a
• 22:43
  Speaker 12: beautiful i pointed out every single morning uh when the
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: blinds are closed i see that glow coming through and
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: i'm like tucker man we're missing a great.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Sunrise always and this morning i i purposely did not
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: point out that the blinds were open so that I
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: could see it. And, yeah, it has been spectacular.
• 23:02
  Speaker 12: We might go back to doing the show, getting rid
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: of these things behind me, because, yeah, it's hard to
• 23:07
  Speaker 12: beat the sunrise.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: They are adjustable. When the sun comes up and it
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: starts blinding, we can shut them.
• 23:13
  Speaker 12: Maybe, yeah. We've got to switch in here.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: We've got an intern over there that can be our
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: blind intern.
• 23:18
  Speaker 12: Beautiful sunrise this morning. 91 for a high. 40% chance
• 23:22
  Speaker 12: of rain this afternoon is what we're looking at. Tonight
• 23:24
  Speaker 12: down to the 70s and tomorrow. Back up to the
• 23:27
  Speaker 12: low 90s with another 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms.

  Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up.

  Speaker 15: Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. But first,
• 23:50
  Speaker 15: are you trapped in a timeshare you don't use, want,
• 23:52

• 24:25
  Speaker 15: On this one day, I'm thinking about FBI surveillance. Apparently,
• 24:31
  Speaker 15: Christopher Wray, the bureau chief under President Biden, ordered agents
• 24:38
  Speaker 15: to track Melania Trump, Barron Trump, and White House Chief
• 24:43
  Speaker 15: of Staff Susie Wiles. This is all attached to the
• 24:49
  Speaker 15: raid on Mar-a-Lago looking for documents. You'll remember that story.
• 24:55
  Speaker 15: But what exactly did Ray do? Did he break the law? Well,
• 25:00
  Speaker 15: we'll never know because the press will not report any
• 25:04
  Speaker 15: of this, and the Democratic Party surely does not want
• 25:09
  Speaker 15: to get into it. What exactly is the point of
• 25:12
  Speaker 15: tracking Barron Trump, who was 16 at the time? You're
• 25:18
  Speaker 15: intruding on his privacy. This deserves an explanation, does it not?
• 25:25
  Speaker 15: Any fair-minded person knows this is all about politics. Christopher
• 25:30
  Speaker 15: Wray wanted Biden to win, so he was snooping for
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: dirt on the Trump family. That is beyond shady. If
• 25:37
  Speaker 15: I was FBI Chief Kash Patel, I'd make a big
• 25:41
  Speaker 15: deal out of this. Why is the FBI, under the
• 25:45
  Speaker 15: authority of the president, investigating the wife and teenage son
• 25:50
  Speaker 15: of a political rival? Well, Most of us already know
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: the answer to that question, and it's shameful.
• 26:00

  Speaker 1: War Pete Hegseth said the live stream will send a
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: message to others planning to harm Americans. Reporters asked Vice
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: President J.D. Vance what he thought.
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: I hope that people don't forget that this is a
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: guy who brutally murdered a lot of innocent people.
• 32:17
  Speaker 18: Now, that said, I mean, look, if it's ultimately live streamed,

  Speaker 1: top secret information.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: State energy regulators are locked in a legal battle to
• 32:32

• 32:35

• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Yes because day drinking and you know that's really it
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: if i'm gonna drink It's got to be a day drink.
• 36:01
  Speaker 12: You know what? That might be the best point I've
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: seen so far. Is a 40-year-old a little weekend day
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: drinking up there? Totally fine.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that.
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: It's got to leave by 5 o'clock.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: It's got to be out of there by 5 o'clock.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Make sure you've got a safe ride home.
• 36:14
  Speaker 12: Yes, exactly. Ubers are very easy to get at 5
• 36:16
  Speaker 12: o'clock in the afternoon, so there is that. Have you
• 36:21
  Speaker 12: ever tried Ancestry.com?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: No, I do not want to, even though they probably
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: have it already, I don't want to give those DNA
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: tests and all that stuff.
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: You don't have to do the DNA with Ancestry.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they try to get you to do it.
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: They absolutely do. And I can tell you this because
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: I tried Ancestry.com for about five minutes. I'll give you
• 36:42
  Speaker 12: a week. I'll be generous. A week, it's really kind
• 36:45
  Speaker 12: of interesting because it does kind of find all your,
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: you know. But then it kind of hits a wall.
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: And then you're left wondering, should I send in my
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: DNA to figure out all this information?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: You can.
• 36:58
  Speaker 12: You say, well, I also have not. Because it feels
• 37:02
  Speaker 12: creepy as anything.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I've been fortunate to have people in the family who
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: have passed down... Genealogists. At least, not really as many
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: genealogists as people who like to repeat stories over and
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: over and over again about their ancestors to the point
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: where it's drilled into your head.
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: So do you know... Where your ancestors were living 200
• 37:25
  Speaker 12: years ago.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: For the most part, yes.
• 37:28
  Speaker 12: Holy cow.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 37:29
  Speaker 12: See, I thought I was a little bit in disbelief
• 37:32
  Speaker 12: over this because 20% of people said, yeah, I know
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: where they were. And I found that to be an
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: exceptionally high number. And even if you go even higher, like, yeah,
• 37:45
  Speaker 12: I know some of them, you're talking 38% said, yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 12: I can give you a couple of them. 200 years ago,
• 37:50
  Speaker 12: which by right now would be essentially 1826.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't, I can't, I mean, I can't account
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: for every single ancestor that I had at that time,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: but yeah, absolutely. More than a, at least a handful.
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: That's bonkers to me. Like I, I, I just hit
• 38:03
  Speaker 12: a roof at some point, and it's definitely way earlier
• 38:07
  Speaker 12: than 200 years.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I think for me, I'm an absolute history nut.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: So when I've had ancestors that have been involved in
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: historical things, that fascinates me. So I had a relative
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: that was in charge of the largest cannon on the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Confederate side at Vicksburg.
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: Hey, that's 200 years.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I had on my father's side of the family. I
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: know that those people immigrated, many of them from Germany.
• 38:35
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: About the same time. I think they got here just
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: a second too late to be the daughters of the
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Texas Revolution or whatever.
• 38:42
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: But I had relatives on that side of the family
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that were involved in the runaway scrape.
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I had relatives on my dad's side of the family
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: that came back. from Kentucky to Fort Smith, Arkansas. I
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: believe my great-great-grandfather is buried in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: had a jewelry store there. So, yeah, I've got little
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: nuggets of stuff that have been passed down to me
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: that I find fascinating. I look deeper into that stuff, too.
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: How many of you guys, again, the question being, how
• 39:09
  Speaker 12: many of you can say definitively where your ancestors were
• 39:14
  Speaker 12: living 200 years ago, just at that level? How much
• 39:18
  Speaker 12: do you know about your ancestors? from 200 years ago.
• 39:22
  Speaker 12: So again, this would be essentially, let's just call it
• 39:25
  Speaker 12: around the time that they were founding Texas as a country.
• 39:30
  Speaker 12: Right around then. If you can say yes to this,
• 39:35
  Speaker 12: give us a couple of tidbits. Text them to us
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: at 979-695-1620. Because I have almost gotten to the point
• 39:43
  Speaker 12: where I'll send my DNA because I would love to find,
• 39:45
  Speaker 12: I know if I send the DNA, there's a great
• 39:49
  Speaker 12: likelihood- that they'll probably be able to fill in the
• 39:52
  Speaker 12: gaps and give me that timeline of everybody and what
• 39:56
  Speaker 12: they did, the whole story, the whole shebang, if you will.
• 40:01
  Speaker 12: But we would like to hear some of yours, and
• 40:04
  Speaker 12: I'm certain there are at least a few of you
• 40:06
  Speaker 12: that can claim that. that, yeah, I got it pretty
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: well tacked down. We'll take a break.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: Text us.
• 40:11
  Speaker 12: We'll be back after this.
• 40:12
  Speaker 14: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 40:18
  Speaker 14: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family
• 40:21
  Speaker 14: Minute to you each morning.
• 40:23

• 40:54
  Speaker 14: If your son or daughter is a bookworm and you're
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: worried that they read too much, let me set your
• 40:59
  Speaker 14: mind at ease. Studies show that bookworms usually grow up
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: to be well-adjusted adults. In fact, bookworms gain a great
• 41:07
  Speaker 14: deal more along the way than children who don't read.
• 41:11
  Speaker 14: When you think about the benefits of children reading, you
• 41:13
  Speaker 14: probably imagine higher SAT scores or an expansive vocabulary. But
• 41:19
  Speaker 14: did you know that reading actually impacts a child's character?
• 41:23
  Speaker 14: According to research, reading helps children to foster humility and
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: a teachable spirit. They understand more quickly that there are
• 41:30
  Speaker 14: greater minds than their own. They're also more likely to
• 41:33
  Speaker 14: respect the thoughts and opinions of others. Reading also helps
• 41:37
  Speaker 14: kids develop the ability to process information at a deeper
• 41:41
  Speaker 14: level and solve complicated problems. Each of those skills equips
• 41:46
  Speaker 14: children to engage in healthy dialogue about important ideas. Interestingly, though,
• 41:52
  Speaker 14: research shows that surfing the Internet for information doesn't cultivate
• 41:57
  Speaker 14: the same character traits of humility, patience, and curiosity. So
• 42:02
  Speaker 14: while smartphones and tablets may be faster and more convenient,
• 42:05
  Speaker 14: they don't help children develop the skills necessary for success
• 42:09
  Speaker 14: in school and in life. With all that in mind,
• 42:13
  Speaker 14: consider limiting your child's screen time. Encourage them to enjoy
• 42:18
  Speaker 14: the old-fashioned hobby of Sitting down with a good book.
• 42:21
  Speaker 14: For Focus on the Family, I'm Jim Daley.
• 42:24
  Speaker 16: The following is not an actor, but a real-life story
• 42:28
  Speaker 16: from Trinity Debt Management.
• 42:29
  Speaker 23: Every day I speak with people who are worried and
• 42:32
  Speaker 23: are feeling a lot of pressure because of credit card debt.
• 42:36
  Speaker 23: That's why I'm very proud of what we do at Trinity.
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: We just help.
• 42:40
  Speaker 23: We give people the support they need along with a
• 42:43
  Speaker 23: real plan to become debt-free. Credit card bills are consolidated
• 42:47
  Speaker 23: into a single monthly payment that is much less than
• 42:51
  Speaker 23: what they were paying before. Most of our members end
• 42:54
  Speaker 23: up saving thousands and even may improve their credit scores
• 42:58
  Speaker 23: by as much as 200 points. I know from the
• 43:01
  Speaker 23: bottom of my heart that I'm making a difference in
• 43:03
  Speaker 23: the lives of the people we help. It just makes
• 43:06
  Speaker 23: me really happy.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: If credit card debt has you down, call Trinity at 1-800-CREDIT.
• 43:13
  Speaker 12: 990-6976.
• 43:14
  Speaker 23: My name is Julie, and I'm a Trinity counselor. Call
• 43:17
  Speaker 23: me and become debt-free for keeps.
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: 1-800-990-6976.
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: What do we really know about James Tallarico? Tallarico said.
• 43:28
  Speaker 10: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 43:31
  Speaker 11: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries.
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: On young children.
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: Claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive. said the
• 43:41
  Speaker 11: trans community needs abortion care too, and even called Jesus
• 43:45
  Speaker 11: a radical feminist and said God is non-binary.
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 43:52
  Speaker 11: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological
• 43:56
  Speaker 11: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
• 44:00
  Speaker 11: boys to play in girls' sports, saying some things are
• 44:04
  Speaker 11: more important than fair competition in sports.
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 44:10

• 44:59
  Speaker 19: the weekend, the Aggie football team fell 27-6 to Missouri.
• 45:04
  Speaker 19: All six of the Aggies' points came from kicker David Olano,
• 45:07
  Speaker 19: who kicked his third field goal over 50 yards. Head
• 45:10
  Speaker 19: coach Mike Elko recapped the game.
• 45:12
  Speaker 13: Just another extremely disappointing road performance. Completely unable to get
• 45:17
  Speaker 13: anything going on offense. Couldn't consistently establish any facet of
• 45:21
  Speaker 13: the game, and that made it really hard. Thought the
• 45:24
  Speaker 13: defense hung in there for a while and played you know,
• 45:27
  Speaker 13: solid football for a while, but you know, ultimately I
• 45:30
  Speaker 13: think we wore down and that's the story of the game.
• 45:33
  Speaker 13: And so we've got to, we've got to go back
• 45:35
  Speaker 13: to the drawing board and figure this out because it's
• 45:37
  Speaker 13: not nearly good enough. And you know, that's me again,
• 45:40
  Speaker 13: I own every part of this.
• 45:41
  Speaker 12: And so it's where we're at.
• 45:42
  Speaker 19: Up next, the maroon and white are back at Kyle
• 45:44
  Speaker 19: field on Saturday afternoon for their final non-conference game of
• 45:48
  Speaker 19: the season against the Citadel with kickoff set for noon.
• 45:52
  Speaker 19: The 12th-ranked Aggie volleyball team dropped a four-set decision versus
• 45:56
  Speaker 19: Arkansas yesterday afternoon. After Arkansas came out as the aggressors
• 46:01
  Speaker 19: in the game, winning the first two sets, staying close
• 46:04
  Speaker 19: within the third, and ultimately winning the fourth set to
• 46:06

• 50:07
  Speaker 12: nice Monday. Had a great sunrise. You did comment.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: That was worth turning around for today. But we'll get
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: up to the 90s. 40% chance of rain down to
• 50:17
  Speaker 12: the 70s tonight. Weather is brought to you by our

• 50:29
  Speaker 12: the difference. We're asking you a question that was asked
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: on the Internet, and it has to do with genealogies.
• 50:35
  Speaker 12: Very simple. Do you know which country your ancestors were
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: living in 200 years ago? So, 1826, do you know?
• 50:45
  Speaker 12: I wish I did. I can get, you know, maybe
• 50:49
  Speaker 12: 150 years back, somewhere around there, but that's a stretch.
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: And I'm just curious how there would be so many people,
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: according to this, that seem to just know with confidence.
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: And you guys absolutely seem to know with confidence. Let's
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: get started on a few of these here. Woodrow. Woodrow.
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: Starting off with a big way. I am a descendant
• 51:14
  Speaker 12: of an immortal 32 that died at the Alamo.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: Holy cow, Johnny.
• 51:20
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, Johnny. So the ancestor that I mentioned that
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: fought at Vicksburg.
• 51:26
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: His name, Milton James Bowie. Oh. Yes.
• 51:31
  Speaker 12: Is he of the big knife Bowies?
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: He is of the big knife Bowies.
• 51:36
  Speaker 12: Holy cow.
• 51:36
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I got you there.
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: Nice.
• 51:39
  Speaker 12: Love that one. Richard, my great-grandfather, was known as the
• 51:43
  Speaker 12: Paul Revere of Texas. He was a scout for Sam
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: Houston and a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
• 51:50
  Speaker 12: His name was Matthew Caldwell.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: That is so cool.
• 51:53
  Speaker 12: Richard, good night. Sam, Virginia to Alabama, then after Reconstruction,
• 52:00
  Speaker 12: post-Civil War to Texas, he continued to trace his ancestry
• 52:04
  Speaker 12: all the way back from coming over in the 1500s.
• 52:09
  Speaker 12: He also says, my redneck genes are so strong that
• 52:12
  Speaker 12: I know we originally came from what is now a
• 52:14
  Speaker 12: caravan or trailer park in Worcestershire, England. Yeah, yeah. I'm
• 52:19
  Speaker 12: following you there, buddy.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: So the gypsies, right?
• 52:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I believe so. Amy, my mom's side goes way, way,
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: way far back, well over 275 to 300 years prior
• 52:31
  Speaker 12: to the American Revolutionary War. They also go back to
• 52:37
  Speaker 12: prior to the Battle of San Jack. My dad side
• 52:41
  Speaker 12: goes back post-American Revolutionary War, but not like that.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: That's cool. That's a long stretch, Amy. As a quick aside,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: I read sometime in the last week or so that
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I believe there were three men that fought in the
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Revolutionary War, the Battle for Texas Independence, and the Civil War.
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: Three men that fought all three conflicts. All three.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Fought in all three conflicts.
• 53:05
  Speaker 12: How is that possible?
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I guess they were very young in Revolutionary War.
• 53:09
  Speaker 12: You'd have to be.
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:10
  Speaker 12: Because like, okay, 17... Okay, so you came in at
• 53:12
  Speaker 12: the tail end, like 1780.
• 53:14
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 53:15
  Speaker 12: Revolutionary War. It's still another... 70 80 years to the
• 53:20
  Speaker 12: civil war so good lord you've been 80 years old saddling.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Up again it's i was just something that is stuck
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: in my head that i believe i read in the last.
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: Week especially in those times will how do you stay
• 53:30
  Speaker 12: alive to your 80s or 90s those dudes some did
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: some did.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Most of those that were that old carried some bullets
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: from previous engagements yeah.
• 53:37
  Speaker 12: But there's a couple of them uh pam my great
• 53:41
  Speaker 12: grandfather's family came from germany he was born in 1872
• 53:46
  Speaker 12: Lifespan from covered wagons to watching a man go into space.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy?
• 53:51
  Speaker 12: That's a real.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: I've thought about that so many times.
• 53:53
  Speaker 12: Is that particular generation of where if you had a
• 53:58
  Speaker 12: grandfather or grandmother in the 60s or early 70s that
• 54:03
  Speaker 12: made it to the 90s, made it almost to 100 years,
• 54:07
  Speaker 12: that might be the craziest 100 years in the history
• 54:11
  Speaker 12: of man. Yes. All the way back. Can you tell
• 54:15
  Speaker 12: me another hundred years where more things changed in between
• 54:18
  Speaker 12: 1872 and 1972?
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my great aunt, Aunt Byrne, who I had the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: pleasure of spending many years with, when she passed away
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: in her late 90s, she and I would talk frequently
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: about the fact that, you know, she went from covered
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: wagons to space shuttle. It's just kind of crazy.
• 54:37

• 55:00
  Speaker 12: can really dig into the documents. Dig into the records
• 55:05
  Speaker 12: that exist and figure out kind of where everyone was.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: And now with the advent of the Internet, it's all
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: easily accessible.
• 55:10
  Speaker 12: Very cool.
