  Speaker 6: and this isn't going to fly.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: If I were Gina Hinojosa, I think I would have

• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. It's like, what?
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: Hold on. Your proposal is what?
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: Is that what we want?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And why should you have the powers of the dictator
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and not everyone else?
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: Wait, so you're telling me.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: What dictatorial powers exist that I'm unaware of? Hang on,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: hang on, hang on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: Are you telling me the governor of Texas has had
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: dictatorial powers this entire time?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And yet did not do anything about property taxes?
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: Yes, that are completely unholy, that are horrific. That's just
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: been there the entire time, and you just discovered it today.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Look, people, when it comes down to things like this
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and things like stacking the Supreme Court and statehood for D.C.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and Puerto Rico, all of these things, right? Get this.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: If one party does it, that means the other party
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: is going to do it. Therefore, it's kind of like
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: mutually assured destruction.
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: That's correct. We're going to talk to an author of
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: a book, which is an incredible book.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it was great.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: Two sides of the same coin. And honestly, I think
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: it's a great read because it will give you some
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: comfort whenever you feel like, hey, America is so much
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: crazier than it used to be. It's not.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's not. Not even close.
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: It's gotten so crazy in the past. And how the
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: political process, actually, all the parts we hate about it
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: so much, are actually kind of worked to our benefit in.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of ways. It really is a comfort. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's not necessarily designed as such. It really gives you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: historical relevance as to why founders did what they did
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and why our government is structured the way it is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and so many things. It's just a really incredible book.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait for us to talk to him.
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: Bill Oliver from the Ozark Mountains, where he's enjoying retirement. Oh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: not retirement. He's woken, but a lovely fall. He's just
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: texted us. He says, Brian Harrison is the Aggie who
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: contributed to Mark Welsh's departure. He certainly is, Bill.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: You beat me to it. this guy's full of great
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: ideas y'all he's full of great ideas are you serious
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: yeah it's whenever you lose every single race the best
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: thing to do is immediately burn it down immediately try
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: to job the system openly look he didn't even send
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: the letter to him he sent the letter to abbott
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: but then he immediately posted it like he was like
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: proud of it like everyone should know i did this
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: How are you? Why are you like this?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Take the loss and go home, dude.
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: Why are you like this?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so petty. So petty. And I'm not even.
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: That's not even my side, brother.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: Why do you make us say this stuff, man?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Don't be dumb.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: You're familiar with the radio station? Why do you make
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: us say this? What do you think everyone else is
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: going to say if we're saying this, you doofus?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Anyway....
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: You were mentioning earlier that you think that there is
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: some change we might want to make to our election protocol,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: and that is not hosting it immediately after time change.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I had this thought last night.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: I have never considered this, but I think you're on
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: to something.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: As I was trying to get dinner at about 5.15,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and it felt like I was driving at midnight. Couldn't
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: stand it, right? So I started to be thinking about
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the seasonal affective disorder. Yeah, which is real.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: People kind of joke about it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, sad. No, it's real.
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: No, it's real. You lose a bunch of light. Your
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: schedule changes. It tends to make you I'm not saying
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: you go into a crippling depression. I'm just saying it
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: makes it worse.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes a difference.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: A little sadder than you would normally.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Be, which I think it's really great that they made
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the acronym for seasonal affective disorder. Be sad, by the way,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that that was that was a nice little trick. However, yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I thought to myself, you were so emotional recently. at
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this time anyway, we're coming into the holidays. People get emotional.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: We've got, you know, the shorter days, people get emotional.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: We get time change, which puts a lot of people,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're working an eight to five, man,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you're going to work in the dark. You're coming home
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the dark.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that make us emotional and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: typically sad this time of year.
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Why should we add, You know, the election results,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: no matter what side, you know.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: Well, we mentioned that they did it originally. This was
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: because of the harvest, right? It's like there's a little
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: gap in between the harvest and the winter. Where back
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: in the 1700s, it was really optimal to do your
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: elections like the second Tuesday.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You had to hitch up the horses. You had to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: ride into town. Typically, it was an overnight.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: You needed supplies to get to the polls. But today,
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: maybe it's a little different. Maybe we could move it
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: to a... happier time of year.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking so how about july 4th i.
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: Wouldn't that be fun i'm saying i'm dead said that
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: would be that's that is a just popped into my
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: mind if we haven't we already have an america day
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: yeah again it solves that whole problem of uh do
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: you make it a a national holiday for election day
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: now why let's just do man i'm the election on
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: a holiday.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just over here killing birds with stones that's what.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: I do absolutely absolutely brilliant will The only thing would be,
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'd rather wait in the polls in 80
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: degree temperature than whatever July. I cannot imagine that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: True. I mean, kind of bring an ice bath with me.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: One of the polling places here would have been a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: lot worse.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: Imagine walking in and, yeah, it's just, I mean, everyone's
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: sweating there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that would keep people away from each other.
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: That's right, that polite separation. Don't you be looking over
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: their shoulder. That's the etiquette here. All right, guys, we're

• 12:32
  Speaker 8: Remember, remember.
• 12:33
  Speaker 16: Oh, it is.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: It's, yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: This is Guy Fawkes Day. Gunpowder Day.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: You know what I love about this?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I love gunpowder in general.
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: Well, gunpowder in general, we all know this is a
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: British thing. But just to prove it, once again, people
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: have been unhinged and absolutely insane for quite some time.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Back in the day, King James I, a bunch of
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: dudes got together because King James was a Protestant. They
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: were Catholics. They're like, this cannot stand, man. This cannot stand.
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: So they took a bunch of literal gunpowder, shoved it
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: under Parliament, And then, you know, we're going to blow
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: the whole thing up with fireworks and and hopefully kill
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: the king. Obviously, this this this didn't end well and
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: they caught him because it just seems to me that
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: that would be something that would be conspicuous.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: And yeah. And they still celebrate this 400 years later.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked that they're actually allowed to celebrate it because
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Britain's not as free as we.
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: Are over here. It's insane to me. Y'all are celebrating
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: the time that religious terrorists tried to decapitate the entire government?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: Really? Okay.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: What's the official cocktail for that party?
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: Gunpowder.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Gunpowder.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: Apparently. Moving on to other days of significance, Chinese Takeout Day,
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: which is always a great one, celebrated any one of
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: about 100 places in town that are guaranteed to be amazing.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Commercial TV Broadcast Day, Will. This is the day of
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: the first ever television commercial. The first one was a
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: commercial for Bulova Watches. They just put a clock with
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: a Bulova logo on it and let it run for
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: 30 seconds in New York City for a price of $ 6. 00.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good rate.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: That's a great rate. Yeah, you can't really beat that,
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: got to admit. And mid-make dinner day, for what it's
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: worth today. And if you have some free time tonight,
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: maybe take it. Or if you're the guy who does
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: the cooking, a lot of you guys.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Typically, I'm the guy that does the cooking.
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: So, yeah, really go above and beyond today. And you
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: said it was Redheads Day.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: National Redheads Day is what I have.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: I did not know. They did not even make my list.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It's not on the list that I just looked up
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: as well, but it was on the list that we get.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll take it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to double-check it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: I love that. It is interesting to me that there
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: are actual physiological differences if you have red hair, like
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: the way you process anesthesia is different.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: The fact that you don't have a soul is different.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: That's not what you said.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Look, okay, yeah, I've confirmed that it is actually National
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Redhead Day, number one. And number two... I started life
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: as a redhead.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, how long? So how long did you have red hair?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Up until probably I started just every year. It got
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: darker until it didn't. And then it's gotten grayer. However,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: up until a few years ago, I still had some
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: red in the beard.
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: So you partially have kind of half a soul.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but my hair was, I mean, when I say
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it was red, it wasn't just a little bit red.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I actually sent you a photograph this morning.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Oh, is this you? Hold on, let's go take a look.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: I was going to ask you about this. They're scouts.
• 15:51

• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in about 77, 78, 79, somewhere in there.
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that is.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: No, I did not know this was you. Holy cow. Wait,
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: you're the redhead?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: There's two redheads in the picture. I'm the one that's squatting.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Will, that is, that is, that's like Ronald McDonald bread.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Red bread.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: That's nuts.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Crazy, isn't it?
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: Oh, man.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So don't be messing with the gingers.
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: I know. Well, they also have horrible tempers, too.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: I mean, do you believe that, that some of the
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: stereotypes about gingers might come.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: From a place of truth? Look, stereotypes exist for a reason.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So they're not absolute.
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: Have you ever met a redhead that didn't have an
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: insane temper?
• 16:29

• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I think we would probably know at this point.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: Someone would have ratted him out.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: He's not that rich.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, okay. Good point. Good point. Conan O'Brien might be
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: the exception that proves the rule.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying. They're not rules. They're stereotypes. They're
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: not absolute.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: That's true. That's true.

  Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW. The Huffines quotes were... That was a heck of
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: a promo that man just cut.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I think if you took that middle section out where
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he was talking about the middle people, everything else he
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: said made a lot of sense, and to me it
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: sounds like maybe... not only making sense, but probably reading
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the room and judging the temperature on whether or not
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: he should run for governor the next opportunity.
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: There was a, geez, what was I watching yesterday? Okay,
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: so I saw an interview with two people yesterday. One
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: of them was Ron DeSantis in Florida, which was interesting
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: because if you look across the entire country, one state,
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: one state really was spared. And not to say that
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: there weren't impacts there, But you didn't see everyone lose.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: You didn't see the bloodbath.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: You didn't see what we saw that was described in
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: the news right there, where every Republican lost, where Ted
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: Cruz is the only statewide Republican officeholder in the state
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: of Texas, making one of the bluest states in America.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: And people asked him why. And Ron had some answers
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: that were very interesting. First of all, he kind of
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: saw this coming. So going into the election, he looked
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: and he said, OK, I'm going to get everybody in
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: a room as far as candidates go. And he impressed
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: upon them that you guys are probably looking like you're
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: going to be running a race with a 12 point handicap.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: You're not.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: You've got like a two point handicap because they just
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: don't believe that it's the same two years ago as
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: it is today. And number two, we're going to put
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: a property tax initiative on the ballot. It's going to
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: allow you to push to a amendment or a legislation
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: that will lower your property tax, which people want desperately.
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: And you are going to run on issues.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: And you can also run on what you've done.
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: And what you've done.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Because things are really good in Florida. He was aghast.
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: He actually spent a good five or ten minutes talking about, yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: I would watch the commercials coming out of Texas. And
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: I would think, what are you doing? Why are you–
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: do you have anything that was a success? You're Texas.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: Why– Are you running on issues that are essentially culture
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: war issues from like two or three years ago?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Scare tactics, yeah.
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: And blowing them up. This is not going to work.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: The governor, guy who won governorship in Florida, really solid guy.
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: Really solid guy. If you didn't have the R by
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: his name, I don't know that you'd be able to
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: tell what party he is. Not because he's saying anything
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: that's particularly one side or the other. He is so
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: dialed in on cost of living. Property taxes, expense of
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: making life affordable for Floridians. That's all he talks about.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: You could see him in interviews. He'll try to get them, hey,
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: what about it? Talk about this aging Pete Hegseth. I
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: don't care about that. I'm talking about property taxes. Just very, very, very,
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: very to the point. If you had run races like that,
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: maybe it would have been a little bit different. Didn't
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: hear a single zinger out of Ron. Didn't hear a single, like,
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: catchy little pithy, which.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: He's capable of, which God knows he doesn't rely on.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: No.
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: And I didn't hear one crazy wild, like, you know, just,
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: you know, gotcha Twitter moment out of either two of
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: the two of them in the interviews. It was just
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: very clear that they had figured out that if you
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: run based on the issues, you probably have the best
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: chance of actually getting elected In the current political environment
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: that we are. So contrast that. With what we saw yesterday.
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: In Texas. Where and again. I don't want to say everybody.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: Because I think there were a lot of people. That
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: actually ran really good campaigns. On the Republican side. It's
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: not just some blanket endorsement. Saying like well all y'all sucked.
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: Some of y'all did exactly what you're supposed to do.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: You just got caught up. In the you know. It's
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: a bad beat for some of you. But on the
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: state level. Can you. Tell me one candidate from primary
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: to general election day results. Can you name one candidate
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: that ran at the state level, like global state level,
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: you know, all the guys that lost? Can you find
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: one of them that ran an issues-based campaign? All right,
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: let me narrow it down. Can you find one of
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: them that ran an issues-based ad campaign?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe late in the campaign. I heard a few that
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I can't attribute to exactly who the candidates were.
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: That's going to require some digging.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: You're right. But I think there was some realization at
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the bitter end that they were like, maybe we made
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: a mistake here.
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe we messed up. Maybe they figured it out
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: before everyone else did that it was going to, we
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: were all going to fall off the cliff. I will
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: do some digging into this and see if I can
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: find it. My suspicion is we might be able to
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: find one or two It wouldn't surprise me if we
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: were not able to find one because that was the
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: kind of campaign that it was. And again, I'm going
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: to say all the way back to primary, all the
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: way back to primary. I don't know that I can
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: find a single issues based ad from any of the
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: people that are now either unemployed or going back to
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: the well, because they couldn't win the office that they,
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: that used to be a layup in the state of Texas.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: But again, don't take my word for it. Study the
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: state of Florida. If you are in Republican politics, take
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: a look at what they did. Take a look at
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: what campaigns they run, how they ran their campaign. Hell,
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: call Ron DeSantis. He's going to be free after January.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: He's going to be, he's got time on his hands.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: We all speculate that Ron will and probably should be
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: part of the national conversation.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: I think he's going to take another shot at it.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. how he will do on a
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: national stage. I will say that he, as far as
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned, may be one of the greatest governors any
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: state has ever had.
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: He also brought up, he's like, hey, look, at this point,
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: Florida's the only one left. I mean, I think that really,
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: I think that makes him very happy that Texas completely
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: fell apart and Florida was able to avoid that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Probably behind closed doors. Behind closed doors, I think he.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: Really, really is enjoying this. But hey, you know what?
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: You deserve to be able to do that because you
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: did something that 49 other states could not yesterday. because
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: you figured out the one thing that was so, so
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: unbelievably cataclysmically innovative. Just run on the issues.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Who'd have thought?
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: Just run on the issues. But yeah, we will. We'd
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: still need to talk to, we're going to talk a
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: little more politics just to give you a heads up
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: coming up later on in the show, because we do
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: have an author that has an incredible, incredible book that
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: is going to, explain that if you are kind of
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: in the doldrums, like, oh, this is the most chaotic
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: thing ever, it's not. It really isn't. And he does
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: an amazing, amazing job of explaining why not, which we
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: will get to coming up shortly. Weather for today, looking
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: at pretty nice. I mean, what are we, like, looking
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: at 80?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Is that what they're— That's what you said, yeah.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: If you're looking for a chance of rain, your next
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: chance of rain is going to come into play this weekend. Tomorrow,
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: really Saturday, is going to be the point where it's
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: going to max out. But temperatures for the weekend, we're
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: looking at dipping down into... like the mid to upper 40s. So, yeah,
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: fall is here, gang, and we could not be happier
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: about that. Take a break and be back right after this.
• 38:10
  Speaker 16: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 38:12
  Speaker 16: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
• 38:15
  Speaker 16: sponsor and friends at Producers.
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: Producers Cooperative Association was started by the farmers and ranchers
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: of the Brazos Valley in 1943 and ever since has
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: been the area's agricultural provider. We've grown to be the
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: largest member-owned agricultural cooperative in the state of Texas with
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: the mission to provide agriculture with the needed products, programs,
• 38:36
  Speaker 11: and services.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Everything ag.
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: We have it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: All of it.
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: Stop by and visit us or call us at 979-778-6000.
• 38:48
  Speaker 16: If you see it on the internet, it has to
• 38:49
  Speaker 16: be true. A click glance through your spam filter will
• 38:53
  Speaker 16: clear that up very quickly. But it's still amazing what
• 38:56
  Speaker 16: people are willing to say and even believe. Sometimes it's
• 38:59
  Speaker 16: for greed and sometimes it's from ignorance. All you can
• 39:02
  Speaker 16: say is, oh my, you must be kidding. I'll be
• 39:06
  Speaker 16: back with details, facts, or fantasy right after this important message.
• 39:10
  Speaker 16: That hot, dry summer weather drove the fire ants out
• 39:13
  Speaker 16: of sight for a while. But they're still out there
• 39:16
  Speaker 16: waiting to sting us and bite us. And now that
• 39:18
  Speaker 16: we're getting fall rains, here come the mounds. The mounds
• 39:22
  Speaker 16: aren't just unsightly. they're a potential danger to you, your family,
• 39:26
  Speaker 16: and your pets. Control fire ants now by applying Fertilome
• 39:30
  Speaker 16: Come and Get It Fire Ant Killer. It contains spinosad
• 39:34
  Speaker 16: and an organic bait that attracts the foraging ants. They
• 39:38
  Speaker 16: take it back into the mound to feed the queen
• 39:40
  Speaker 16: and worker ants and they start to die within 24 hours.
• 39:43
  Speaker 16: Sprinkle four tablespoons of Fertilome Come and Get It Fire
• 39:46
  Speaker 16: Ant Killer evenly over the mound and and extended out
• 39:49
  Speaker 16: about two feet. No watering is necessary. Fertilome is dedicated
• 39:53
  Speaker 16: to supporting local businesses. Their products can only be found
• 39:57
  Speaker 16: in independently owned garden centers and feed stores. They're made
• 40:01
  Speaker 16: right here in the Lone Star State in Bonham, Texas. Fertilome,
• 40:05
  Speaker 16: come and get it. Fire ant killer made in Texas
• 40:07
  Speaker 16: for Texas lawns and gardens. My spam filter and I
• 40:12
  Speaker 16: received a news release a few days ago that encouraged
• 40:15
  Speaker 16: people not to kill mistletoe to leave it in our trees.
• 40:18
  Speaker 16: I figured it was for some kind of a Christmas
• 40:20
  Speaker 16: kiss fest, but no. The release continued on with this
• 40:24
  Speaker 16: little gem. Trees infested with mistletoe die early because of
• 40:28
  Speaker 16: the parasitic growth producing dead trees useful to nesting birds
• 40:32
  Speaker 16: and mammals. Oh, my, you've got to be kidding. I
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: have a reputation for encouraging people not to commit crepe murder,
• 40:40
  Speaker 16: and the subject of topping crepe myrtles came up on
• 40:43
  Speaker 16: my Facebook page sometime back. One reader wrote, I don't
• 40:46
  Speaker 16: get it. Why not top them? Topping is the best
• 40:48
  Speaker 16: way of keeping crepe myrtles in a manageable height. Now,
• 40:52
  Speaker 16: while I prefer not to go after people when they're
• 40:54
  Speaker 16: making mistakes because I've made my share, this one really
• 40:58
  Speaker 16: bothered me because I'm thinking, you know, crepe myrtles come
• 41:00
  Speaker 16: in all mature sizes from 2 feet to 32 feet
• 41:03
  Speaker 16: at maturity. Why don't you just take it out and
• 41:06
  Speaker 16: get a smaller variety? Because topping is a barbaric habit
• 41:10
  Speaker 16: with crepe myrtles. There's no good that comes from a
• 41:13
  Speaker 16: topped crepe myrtle. It delays flowering. The flower heads are
• 41:16
  Speaker 16: very large. When they do finally appear, they'll weight down
• 41:19
  Speaker 16: the branches. It just ruins the plants. Ornamental grasses are
• 41:23
  Speaker 16: beautiful in the winter. All those dried leaves. Well, that
• 41:27
  Speaker 16: one's completely subjective. I lean toward seeing brown grasses as
• 41:30
  Speaker 16: dead-looking fire hazards and rodent refuges. Now, maybe that's the
• 41:34
  Speaker 16: negative side of Neal. I love ornamental grasses in moderation,
• 41:38
  Speaker 16: but we've gone way too far with them. We've overused them,
• 41:41
  Speaker 16: and they overstay their welcomes in our landscapes. in the wintertime.
• 41:45
  Speaker 16: They need to be trimmed and cleaned up, it seems
• 41:47
  Speaker 16: to me. Now, that's just one guy's opinion, and you're
• 41:50
  Speaker 16: certainly welcome to yours. And when we get back into
• 41:53
  Speaker 16: dry times, foundation problems crop up, and those in turn
• 41:57
  Speaker 16: bring out the structural engineers who start saying, get the
• 42:01
  Speaker 16: trees out of here. We can't have trees anywhere that
• 42:03
  Speaker 16: they can see a house. Oh, come on. Give me
• 42:06
  Speaker 16: a break. You must be kidding. Tree roots can exist
• 42:10
  Speaker 16: with houses. You can put in a root barrier, and
• 42:12
  Speaker 16: the roots will never get beneath the house. Or you
• 42:15
  Speaker 16: can deal with it one at a time and just
• 42:17
  Speaker 16: remove the harmful roots. But you don't have to take
• 42:20
  Speaker 16: all your shade trees out. There must be some alternative. Well,
• 42:23
  Speaker 16: there are lots of facts and fantasy in horticulture. Use
• 42:26
  Speaker 16: your common sense.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Ask questions.
• 42:28
  Speaker 16: Talk to Texas Master Certified Nurture Professionals. You'll do fine.
• 42:33
  Speaker 16: I'm Neal Sperry. Steps to pick the best shade tree
• 42:35
  Speaker 16: in our next Plant Talk Texas. Until then, happy gardening.
• 42:40

• 45:32
  Speaker 13: about the struggles that the defense has been having on
• 45:35
  Speaker 13: the road this season.
• 45:36
  Speaker 19: One of the big things we have to get better
• 45:39
  Speaker 19: at is conversion downs. I think we've been really, really
• 45:42
  Speaker 19: bad third and two to six, just as an in
• 45:45
  Speaker 19: general statement. I think road versus home looks different because
• 45:49
  Speaker 19: of opponent, but I think if you really just look
• 45:52
  Speaker 19: at us against power four teams, we've really had struggles
• 45:55
  Speaker 19: in that third and two to six range, and I
• 45:58
  Speaker 19: just think we've got to find ways to create cleaner,
• 46:01
  Speaker 19: easier pictures. Running the ball maybe a little bit more
• 46:04
  Speaker 19: is something that we've talked about and done a little
• 46:07
  Speaker 19: bit to some success of late, but we have to
• 46:11
  Speaker 19: be able to find and create cleaner pictures and throw
• 46:13
  Speaker 19: and catch the football at a better clip in those.
• 46:15
  Speaker 9: Down and distances.
• 46:17
  Speaker 13: Kickoff for Saturday's game is set for 2 o'clock. In

  Speaker 26: my sales with no change in pricing or product. Tell

• 47:32

  Speaker 1: Gorgeous.
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: 80 degrees, 81 maybe, down to 57 tonight, 76 tomorrow.
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: Still sunny all the way up until Saturday and Saturday
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: night when we get a little bit of a front
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: coming in. Saturday's high, by the way. It's only 73.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: And a chance of rain going in Saturday to Sunday.
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: Lows in the mid 40s. By Tuesday, we might not
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: get out and get to 70 degrees.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm ready for it. Yeah, by the way, the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: glow of a beautiful sunrise behind you. I don't know
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: what it looks like.
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: It's a little too clean. We don't have clouds in
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: the sky.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: That's a good philosophical point, is it takes a little clutter,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: a little clouds.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, it does.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: To make a sunrise perfect.
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, unless you have a little bit of that haze,
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: a little bit of that overcast, you're not going to
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: get that explosion of color.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: There's a nice life analogy there.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: There certainly is, Will.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Deep thoughts.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: Do you have any holiday plans? Have you already made
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: holiday plans?
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're actually hosting Thanksgiving this year. Really?
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah. How many people?
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking that we'll probably have 30-ish people.
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: That's a pretty decent Thanksgiving.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Pretty decent Thanksgiving. It's just my side of the family,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and they're dwindling. But we will have my uncle in
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Houston has three boys, and all of those boys have
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: had multiple children. So we're going to have chaos, beautiful
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving chaos like back when I was a kid.
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: That's just what you want.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Be some firearms.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, all the good stuff.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe a little fish in if the weather's nice.
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: When it comes to your Thanksgiving traditions, are you pretty
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: dialed in in terms of like, hey, I know we
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: know exactly what we do. We know the food that
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: we're going to bring, who is going to bring it,
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: who's going to prepare it, or do you improv?
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of dishes that will appear that. have
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: belonged to ancestors that they used to bring to Thanksgiving
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: that certain other family members will bring. So those are
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: kind of traditional dishes. There's one my dad used to
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: do that has not been picked up that actually yesterday
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I thought about doing. My dad would always make one
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: small plate, not really a plate, but one small dish
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: of oyster dressings. And there was only a couple of us.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I would eat it. My dad would eat it. Maybe
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: a couple other people would eat the oyster dressing. Thinking
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: about bringing that back this year. But other than that, no,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, we stick with the turkey and ham. Got
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: to have ham. Yeah. Got to have the turkey.
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: That's the thing. There's two types of people who kind
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: of like, you know, it's the same every year, but
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: that's the beautiful thing is tradition. And then there are
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: people that want to spice it up, want to create
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: a little secret twist. You know, just all of a
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: sudden people show up and, They're expecting one thing, and then, ooh,
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: something changed.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: An addition is one thing, but if you're a substitution,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: it's a complete other.
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: That's the thing. 67% of Americans are planning a secret
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: twist to their holiday celebrations this year. Most of it
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: has to do with either decorations or the menu, which, again,
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: just hits me as a little bit risky.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Very risky.
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: If You showed up at a Thanksgiving Day feast and
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden they had swapped the turkey for
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: something else.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Like tofu. Them's fighting words.
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: What about if you swapped it for like a tenderloin
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: or something?
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: No, I'm fine.
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: You'd be fine. So it's like you can you can
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: lose the turkey, but you've got to go something far
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: better than.
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: And I think that. Look, I'm not the world's biggest
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: turkey fan. I do love the turkey that we get,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: and I do use it for additional gumbos and stuff
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: down the road. So I really do like it. The
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: people that get a tenderloin, I know people that do
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: that for Christmas, maybe Thanksgiving. I'm very fine with that.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: That's my jam. Very fine with that.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: What if barbecue shows up?
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: See, that's the divisive one.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: It's not divisive because you can't hate it.
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: I've been to somewhere.
• 52:46
  Speaker 14: It's happened.
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: There's been grumblings.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: You've got to have a consensus.
• 52:50
  Speaker 8: You've got to ask in advance.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: It's not a permission thing, really. It's just, what would
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: you think if I'm going to do this?
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: Because it gives people the opportunity, if you're hosting, it
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: gives people the opportunity to bring a turkey, right? Hey,
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: if you want to bring a turkey, I don't care.
• 53:06
  Speaker 8: We're doing barbecue this year, but that way at least everyone.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I would combine it. I would smoke the turkey
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: and additional barbecue treats.
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Smoky treats.
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: I think that's the key. It's like, just don't make it...
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: Twist is not fine.
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: No.
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: Twist is great.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Twist is great.
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: The secret will absolutely ruin your day.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: If you come in and replace things.
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: It'll ruin your whole life.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like this year, we're going to have a... Oh,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's say a Bangladesh Thanksgiving with all...
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Dishes from Bangladesh. Yeah.
• 53:36
  Speaker 8: Well, we just, you know, we want to try something.
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: We got a little bored with Turkey. Why didn't you,
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: you didn't call?
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: No.
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: That's why it's a surprise.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: That's a, that's a danger.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: To celebrate our separation from, uh, from Britain. We're going to,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: we're going to have a British feast.
• 53:51
  Speaker 8: Blah. I, I could just see that again, there's a
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: million ways you could do it, man. Then whatever works
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: for your family works for your family, but just a
• 54:02
  Speaker 8: phone call, text, We have so many ways to communicate nowadays.
• 54:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: Group chat. You know, just post it online, flare up, whatever.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: And you can do all of that with us, too,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: by the way.
• 54:13
  Speaker 8: Yes, you certainly can. If you want a roadmap, if
• 54:16
