• 6:00
  Speaker 8: Welcome, everyone. Glad to have you here. 979-695-1620. Now, did

  Speaker 8: an absolute monsoon and sent me the video.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Missed it all. It was all on the east side
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of town.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: Another 20% chance today of the wonderful little pop-up shower
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: that can either make or break your entire day. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: a high of 96 down to the 70s tonight. We'll
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: keep a 20% chance in the forecast. Afternoon, so probably
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: not a game day issue as much. Similar to what
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: we've seen.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it shouldn't affect the game. The game tonight, by
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the way, in Pflugerville.
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: Pflugerville.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: First of all, it's hotter over there by several degrees.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: How?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: They're high. Yeah, they're surrounded by concrete and whatnot.
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be 101 for the high today. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: better chances of rain so that game can be delayed
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and I can get home even later.
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: Oh, Will. You might want to sit this one out,
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: my man.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: There's no sitting it out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: There's no sitting it out. There's no sitting it out.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: Happy wife, happy life.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Her baby is a senior. This is the last opportunities.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We can't miss a thing.
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: I appreciate that. But my word. Like, that is a...
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: You sure you don't want to get a hotel? You
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: sure you don't want to find some lodging up in
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: Williamson County for the evening? Because that could be a
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: late night.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It could be a late night, but I don't think
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it's worth staying in Williamson County.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: Every once in a while, I catch a commercial that just,
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: I don't understand it. And I keep getting served it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: And I'd assume I fall into some bracket where it's like, hey, okay,
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: my YouTube has decided that I am a, prime candidate
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: for buying this product and you know i think everyone
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: has gone down a rabbit hole like that usually you
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: say something dumb in a room and your phone picks.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It up and then ads ads i started talking about
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: lawnmowers and utvs not long ago it's nothing but that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: on my facebook feed.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: But that said i can't figure this one out because
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: this is the last thing i would ever talk about
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: the literal last thing i would ever talk about and
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: it's candy corn Have you heard? Here, I'll play this
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: for you. This is the new ad. So you've seen
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: the ad.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I know about the product.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: There's a candy corn commercial. I've never once seen candy
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: corn advertised.
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: Brock's Candy Corn really gives me that fall feeling.
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: Family eating candy corn. Their living room turns into a fall,
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: a wonderful, right? Brock's, it's candy corn season. And then
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: that voice at the end. Candy corn season. I just
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: want to rewind it because it. Rucks, it's candy corn season.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: Which the only way I can describe that is I
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: don't know if Bernie Sanders is doing candy corn endorsements.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a little unusual vibrato in that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: It's candy corn season.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: Here I am asking you once again, purchase some candy corn.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Well, chances are good if you don't live in Mississippi,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you're not purchasing candy corn because Mississippi is the state
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: for candy corn.
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: I did not know there was a state for candy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: I learned this last year.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Mississippi is per capita, they eat more candy corn than
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: anybody else.
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: Why? I have no idea. Why? No idea.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Candy corn is one of the scourges of our earth.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I can't stand it. I don't like the way it looks.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like the way it smells. I can't
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: stand the way it tastes.
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: It's upsetting, isn't it? Yes. It's just not my thing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: The way it smells is bizarre.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the deal on this. So I thought you
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: were going to be talking about this when you saw
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the candy corn commercial.
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Because I'm guessing now that the candy corn, you know, lobby.
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: The candy corn mafia.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: They're out there pushing this now because Brock's the candy
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: corn manufacturer.
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Releasing a candy corn perfume this fall.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Look at this.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Ode to candy corn.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: So you can actually like. have that candy corn.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You can get your candy corn stank on.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: So this is a concentrated effort, is what this is.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: It is. To try to get you onto candy corn,
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: which means I would say maybe we're headed in the
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: right direction in this country, and big candy corn is
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: scared that there's not quite the audience for it. the
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: appetite for it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: It's one last once one last stand it's the alamo
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of the candy corn have you ever.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: Met someone that actually enjoys candy probably i mean but
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: but vocally so to the point where it's like you
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: see them because there's some fall treats you know people
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: like for instance the pumpkin spice latte i will see
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: my friends walking around saying hey although that's on the
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: way out pretty great yeah yeah true maybe my day
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: is pretty great because i got a pumpkin spice latte
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: or Or, you know, during Easter season, you'll show up
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: and they have Cadbury eggs in their house or something
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: like that. Like, you know, people that are like looking,
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: you know, waiting for these these seasonal treats. I will
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: never seen someone in my life that's got candy corn passion.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I have never seen. Here's my my base argument for this.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a nearly empty bowl of candy corn.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Or an empty bowl.
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: To my knowledge, Will, it very well could be the
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: same bowl every single year.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Year after year. It's always there.
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: The amount never rises or falls. No.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It's a consistent level of candy corn.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: The Brax candy corn, you could be being pitched this year.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I wonder what the shelf life is on candy corn.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Look it up.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: Let's find out. It's got to be forever. What would
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: go bad? It's literally just candy corn. What's going to
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: rot on it?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It could last a hundred years. It could last longer
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: than a Big Mac. They say it stays fresh for
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: six to nine months.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: Stop it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Stop it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: I'll leave that when I see it.

  Speaker 8: not are actually related to 9-11. For instance, you have
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Libraries Remember Day, which I didn't think would have any tie-in,
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: but it was created after the aftermath of September 11th
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: as a way for libraries to note that they're a
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: keeper of history. It's a place for the community to
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: gather and things like that. And then obviously, yes, Patriots Day,
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: the official U.S. observance commemorating the victims of September 11th, 2001.
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: And remember Freedom Day also in there. And man, everyone,
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: First Responders Day is the other one. Did we mention
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: that one or no?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: We haven't mentioned it yet, no.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, First Responders, dedicated day, which they obviously put on
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: September 11th. to tie the recognition of firefighters, police, EMTs,
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: and other emergency personnel to the unprecedented heroism witnessed on 9-11.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: Texas First Responders Day as well. So lots of ways
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: to observe, and we will talk about some of that
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: coming up later on in the show. I will give
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: you advance warning on this. We still are looking for
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: your stories of where you personally were on September 11, 2001.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: wherever that may be. The best way to send these
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: to us is if you can do a voice note
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: on your phone, do it, and then text that to
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: us at 979-695-1620. And we will be playing back A
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: lot of these.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeanette's putting together something, from my understanding, for her
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: show this afternoon.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the 5 o'clock hours.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And we'll be talking about your experiences as well.
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. Birthdays today, what do you got?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Birthdays today, Michelle Randolph is 29. She plays Billy Bob's daughter, Ainsley,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: on The Landman.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, Lord.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And she's been seen with, what's his name? The actor
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: that blew up after Top Gun 2. He's in... Oh,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: are you talking about Glenn?
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: Was it Glenn something?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: So she's been seen with Glenn, and therefore a lot
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of people, females that I know, don't like her much.
• 16:57
  Speaker 16: Is that.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: That's unfortunate. That's unfortunate. She's just a very attractive girl
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: who has tried to date a very attractive guy.
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: And have a life together in the great state of Texas.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: What's... What's the problem? You weren't going to be dating him,
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: I would think.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Crazy enough, it's the same people, the same women who
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: had problems when J.J. down there for the Texans, when
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: he got married.
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there was a lot of angst.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, J.J. Watt was fine. However, the woman he married
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: had a target on her back.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: She did. There was just a lot of hate. And again,
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: I would just say, okay, I get it. But were
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: you really going to cash in that check on J.J.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Watt?
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: Were you really going to?
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: No.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Don't tell him that, Tucker.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: No.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: I mean, I appreciate that, yeah, you want the option,
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: but that wasn't going to happen. It wasn't going to happen.

• 18:18
  Speaker 8: My awareness of Christy McNichol was definitely. I was young
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: enough to where she was not on my radar. Right.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: Back in her era. She was everywhere. Rise to fame. Yeah.
• 18:26

• 19:33
  Speaker 1: You hit that you hit the nail on the head.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Don't swing for a different nail.
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: There was a time when every single male. It's it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: did every single male of a certain age range at
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: one point have the Scarface poster.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't have a Scarface poster now. And I was
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: probably later. in life coming to terms with Scarface. True.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: But we developed a drinking game around it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: Lord, I cannot. Okay, what's the Scarface drinking game?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Well, anytime.
• 20:02

• 20:14
  Speaker 8: kidding me.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You will die.
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: How did you survive that?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: We didn't. Nobody made it to the intermission.
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: Did you make it through a half hour? Absolutely insane.
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: Talk news coming up. And now for the bonus round.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Who imposes property taxes?
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: State government. Nice try, but no.
• 20:35
  Speaker 17: Local governments.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: And we have a winner.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control property taxes.
• 20:44
  Speaker 18: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
• 20:47
  Speaker 18: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
• 20:51
  Speaker 18: why your property taxes are going up is because local
• 20:53
  Speaker 18: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
• 20:57
  Speaker 18: got to do is to stop the spending that leads.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: To property tax increases.
• 21:03
  Speaker 18: You should have a say on whether or not your
• 21:05
  Speaker 18: property taxes go up. It should be a vote that
• 21:07
  Speaker 18: requires two-thirds vote before any property tax increase can ever
• 21:12
  Speaker 18: be imposed on our fellow Texans. You're going to be
• 21:14
  Speaker 18: able to live in your home for the rest of
• 21:16
  Speaker 18: your lives without being priced out of it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Protecting homeowners, lowering property taxes.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: That's Governor Greg Abbott.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: September 11, 2001 changed our world forever. Twenty-five years later,
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: we have learned that national security requires strong borders, smart diplomacy,
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: and reliable allies, along with vigilant citizens at home. Situational
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: awareness is important, and see something, say something can save lives.

  Speaker 21: I'm Nicole Murray with your Money Now. A key inflation
• 23:58
  Speaker 21: reading today could determine whether the Federal Reserve issues its
• 24:01
  Speaker 21: first interest rate hike in more than three years. Dow

• 24:15
  Speaker 21: Diesel prices hit $ 6 per gallon this morning for the
• 24:17
  Speaker 21: first time ever as fuel supply disruptions triggered by the

  Speaker 21: Ukraine and Iran wars raises transportation costs across the entire economy.
• 24:25
  Speaker 21: Patrick DeHaan with GasBuddy said diesel prices will be a
• 24:28
  Speaker 21: silent killer of the U.S. economy if they stay at
• 24:31
  Speaker 21: these levels. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said that a large
• 24:36
  Speaker 21: bank will be sanctioned by the U.S. next week as
• 24:38
  Speaker 21: part of its Iran strategy. The announcement comes after Trump's

• 25:02
  Speaker 22: you paying more than $ 34. 99 a month for unlimited data?
• 25:06
  Speaker 22: I only ask because in a recent industry survey of 120,000
• 25:11
  Speaker 22: wireless customers, PureTalk was the only wireless company out there
• 25:15
  Speaker 22: to receive five stars in every category, coverage, support, value,

• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW Newsroom. I'm Will Welch. College
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Station City Council met Thursday night. They approved funding in
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the amount of $ 25 million for the Carter Creek Wastewater
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Treatment Plant's enhanced filtration project. They also approved a citywide
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: flood hazard assessment. And Councilman Yancey asked City Engineer Carol
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Cotter If redrawing FEMA floodplain maps could have a negative
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: impact to homeowners.
• 27:24
  Speaker 23: How might it affect people's properties if at the conclusion
• 27:27
  Speaker 23: of that FEMA process, a portion of somebody's lot is
• 27:31
  Speaker 23: in a floodplain where it had not been before?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Affect their insurance, maybe?
• 27:36
  Speaker 24: It could affect their insurance, but typically if... you have
• 27:41
  Speaker 24: a property where a floodplain has not been identified before
• 27:45
  Speaker 24: or you have a current policy with a current premium,
• 27:49
  Speaker 24: you are pre-firm or you can continue with your current
• 27:56
  Speaker 24: rates that you have as long as you continue with
• 27:59
  Speaker 24: your insurance policy and you don't let it lapse.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Several residents signed up to speak at the meeting. The
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: two topics were impervious cover and flock cameras. Residents in
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood around Park Place and Dexter say they have
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: seen a sharp rise in street flooding and rapid street flooding,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: as well as water approaching foundations where it used to
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: not be a problem.
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: We also see that the floodwaters are rising higher and higher.
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: They're getting not just an inch deep over the street,
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: but they're getting six inches deep over the street.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Councilwoman McElhaney asked that the issue of impervious cover be
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: looked into and addressed in an upcoming meeting. A man
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: speaking out against flock cameras cites a recent Overton Insights
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: survey of 1,200 Texas voters.
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: 63% of likely Texas voters oppose local government's use of
• 28:46
  Speaker 14: automatic license plate reader cameras, such as flock cameras, at
• 28:50
  Speaker 14: public intersections, and only 28% support them.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: A discussion on flock cameras and their data is scheduled
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to take place at the next council meeting. There are
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: several events today honoring the 25th anniversary of 9-11. You

  Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. We're the Info Maniacs. Sunny today for
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: the most part, unless we get, you know, one of
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: those little pop-up showers that are so wonderful. getting up
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: to a high of 95, down to the 70s tonight.
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: Then we'll do the exact same thing tomorrow for Saturday.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: Weather is brought to you by Malik Service Company and
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: the Texas Heat Air Conditioner works overtime, but a well-tuned
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: AC will save you money and keep you comfortable. Turn
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: to the experts at Malik and Carrier to keep your
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. We were talking
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: when we started the show about the fact that you're
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: getting candy corn commercials, which strikes, I don't know when
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: we decided to start advertising candy corn I don't know
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: why I'm getting served candy corn ads.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: You haven't had a conversation about candy corn around me.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: That's nothing the algorithm would pick up.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: No, I have no idea how that happened. But then
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: Will brings up the point that they have now for $ 22.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: At candycornseason.com. You get candy corn perfume. You can just
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: spritz a little of that on yourself.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: You better use just a little because for $ 22, you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: get 1.7 ounces.
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: And we were discussing. Is this the most divisive scent
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: you could possibly invest in?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, the scent is better than the taste on candy.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: It's really more of a texture thing. It's like chewing
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: on a piece of wax.
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: So with that said, I find in my pile today
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: this giant stack of tickets to, of all things, one
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: of my favorite places on Earth, San Antonio Zoo.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: What?
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: By the way, just to deviate, I did radio in
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: San Antonio for a couple of years, and I always
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: wanted to give away tickets to the San Antonio Zoo.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: They wouldn't do it. I don't think it was the
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: zoo that wouldn't do it, but there was a whole...
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: We could not get the San Antonio Zoo to be
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: on the... Couldn't do it!
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: That's amazing seeing what an animal person you are.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: Yes!
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Nobody could be a better ambassador for the San Antonio
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Zoo than you.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: And it's such... If you've never been, it's an elite zoo.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: Never been. It is such a good zoo.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know they had one. It is.
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: I'm telling you, you will not have a bad time
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: at the San Antonio Zoo. I have tickets to this.
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: In fact, I could do a four pack of tickets
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: to this. So if for some reason you think you're
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: going to be in San Antonio at some point over
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: the next, eh, until the end of the year, whatever.
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: I will send you to the San Antonio Zoo. To
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: help us engage in this thought exercise.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: San Antonio in the fall is nice.
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: It is very nice. Yeah, once it cools down a
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: little bit, man can be disappointed.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: 979-695-1620.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: Come up with a worse scent than candy corn. Come
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: up with a worse scent.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Than candy corn perfume.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: Give it some thought.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we want creativity here.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Text it in at 979-695-1620.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: If your idea is good enough, not only will we
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: give you the tickets, we'll help you market the product.
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: Yes, we will. Maybe some of these aren't as bad
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: of ideas as you might think they are. I don't know.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: And you can let us know as well whether or
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: not candy corn. perfume see a particular jam you know
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: if if that would be something that would be appealing.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: To you uh nine seven nine six nine five sixteen
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: twenty is that number and while we wait to see
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: uh what comes in there's a a really interesting time
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: is such a weird thing and 9 11 25 years
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: uh ago and it's it i don't think it just
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: doesn't feel like 20 it never feels like 25 years
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: how long ago is 25 years answer is a completely
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: different universe guys that's a quarter century it was a
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: completely different world back then here's some of the things
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: that did not exist in 2001 the fall of 2001
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: the ipod no one had one no one knew what
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: they were because it hadn't been created yet came around
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: almost immediately after, like at the end of the year
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: in 2001. That's right. No one had any point of
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: reference for music that wasn't on a CD, on a tape,
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: or on the radio. That was all you had. I
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: think you could maybe stream it and maybe steal it
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: off the internet.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Napster.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Napster is where you stole it off the internet.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: For those of you that use Google News as your
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: kind of aggregator of what's going on in the world,
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: that wasn't around. No Google? No Google News.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: No Google News.
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: There was no social media.
• 37:55
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: And I'm not talking about little, oh, it was the beginning.
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: There wasn't any. Zero. None of the sites. Even Friendster
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: and MySpace were not around in 2001. Everything else was almost.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Sounds glorious.
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: It was a different world, y'all. Skype wasn't around. LinkedIn
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: wasn't around. No one had Gmail because Gmail didn't exist.
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: That's crazy to me. That was one that threw me.
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: Gmail's three years after that. No Google Maps, no YouTube,
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: no podcasts. That had not even been contemplated that you
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: would just put, you know, on-demand audio out there for
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: people to listen to whenever. If you wanted audio content,
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: you went to the radio. That was it. The iPhone,
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: seven years later. Androids, eight years later. No Harry Potter franchises.
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: No Lord of the Rings. Elf is older, as is
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: Pirates of the Caribbean. No one had any idea of
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: what an American Idol was. Beyonce did not have a career.
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: And it goes on and on and on. That's crazy
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: to think about. Absolutely. Well, there's part of this, and
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: we'll get into this later, that I think it's critical
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: if you're talking to your kids or trying to teach people,
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: young people about, and I just every once in a
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: while have a conversation with a 20-year-old. And how do
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: you explain 9-11 to them? Because it's a vastly different
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: thing in their mind than it was to someone who
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: lived through it. I think... this actually has a lot
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: to do with it. And again, we'll revisit that coming up.
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: And now, back to some of your options for the worst.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: We have some very creative people out there. What do
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: we got?
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Deva takes in pickle perfume. People love pickle, but I
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: can see that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: But would I want to smell like pickles? Yeah.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I know I've spilled pickle juice on me before, and
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't keep it there.
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: It's not exactly. I chose to wash. Yeah, it's not
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: exactly something you just want to have wafting towards you.
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: Vienna sausage perfume.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Man, that one didn't cross my mind, but I wish
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: that it had, because that one is solid. Even people
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: who love Vienna sausages. It's not. I just can't take
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that smell.
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: You open the can and it just, there's not. No.
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: There's not any positives.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: But the people who are real connoisseurs, by the way,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: of the Vienna sausages, they will tell you that the
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: prime sausage is the one that's in the center. Because
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it's been surrounded, hasn't touched the can, it's been surrounded
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: by other sausages and juice.
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: It's been surrounded by sausage and that ooze. Yeah. And
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: just permeates. That's the one. That is the magic, the
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: magic sausage, if you will. Dean texts in, mothball scented perfume.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Another amazing answer.
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: It's fantastic. You know, I'll be real though. I could
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: see some people actually wanting the mothball scent. I don't
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: know why. I could see it. Are these people over 87?
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: I think it's like if your grandparents were big connoisseurs
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: of the mothball, then I think it might hit a
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: little bit different.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Smells like grandma's closet. Stephanie, this one was the first
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: one that popped to my mind, Stephanie, so I'm glad
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: we're thinking alike. What do you got? Brussels sprout perfume.
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: Are you talking about boiled?
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: It would have to be.
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: It would have to be because Brussels sprouts now have
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: had a little bit of a moment in the steakhouse
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: space where you throw them in there. But it's not
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: the Brussels sprout that's doing the work. It's the bacon
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: that you throw into the Brussels sprouts. It makes it tolerable.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: You can flavor up some Brussels. I love Brussels. But
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: boiling in them is not the way to go. But
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: my wife can't stand it when I'm cooking the Brussels.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: We'll give you some more time if you want to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: get these in. 979-695-1620. Again, the question we have for you,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: name a worse scent than candy corn perfume.
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: Send us your stuff. We'll be back after this.
• 42:17
  Speaker 11: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
• 42:21
  Speaker 11: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
• 42:24
  Speaker 11: sponsor and friends at Producers.
• 42:26
  Speaker 16: Keep your lawn green and thriving all summer long with
• 42:29
  Speaker 16: help from Producers Cooperative's Garden Center. Having trouble with your lawn,
• 42:32
  Speaker 16: bedding plants, trees, or shrubs?
• 42:34

• 42:35
  Speaker 16: Our experts are here to help. We also carry the
• 42:37
  Speaker 16: watering supplies you need from hoses and sprinklers to keep
• 42:40
  Speaker 16: every part of your landscape hydrated. Summer heat means pests
• 42:44
  Speaker 16: and disease are on the move, but we've got the
• 42:46
  Speaker 16: products and know-how to protect your yard. And don't forget mulch,
• 42:49
  Speaker 16: a smart way to conserve moisture and control weeds. Producers
• 42:52
  Speaker 16: Cooperative's Garden Center, your home for everything gardening.
• 42:56
  Speaker 11: Most of our houseplant failures can be traced directly to
• 42:59
  Speaker 11: improper lighting and excessive watering. Sometimes the two overlap so
• 43:03
  Speaker 11: dramatically that you can't pry them apart. Changes in lighting
• 43:06
  Speaker 11: affect the amount of water the plants will need, yet
• 43:09
  Speaker 11: we fail to take note. When we identify potential pitfalls
• 43:12
  Speaker 11: before they occur, we cut plant losses significantly. Happier Houseplants,
• 43:17
  Speaker 11: the subject of our program today, right after this message.
• 43:20
  Speaker 11: My book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: it's the best work of my career. I self-published it.
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: It's directly from me to your mailbox. There's no publishing house,
• 43:31
  Speaker 11: no retail markups to run up your cost. As I
• 43:34
  Speaker 11: close out the final printing, here's an offer I've never
• 43:37
  Speaker 11: made before. While supplies last, I've reduced the price from $ 38. 95
• 43:42
  Speaker 11: on the jacket to the lowest price ever, only $ 24.
• 43:45
  Speaker 26: 95.
• 43:45
  Speaker 27: It's a high-quality hardback book, 344 pages, 840 of my photographs.
• 43:53
  Speaker 27: It covers every aspect of landscapes, lawns, flower, fruit, and
• 43:56
  Speaker 27: vegetable gardening for every county in Texas. A 48-page perpetual calendar.
• 44:02
  Speaker 27: It tells you when to plant, prune, feed, and protect

• 44:19
  Speaker 11: If we're growing plants indoors, we need to remember that
• 44:22
  Speaker 11: no plant is a house plant. All of them are
• 44:25
  Speaker 11: invited guests into our homes. However, we expect our guests
• 44:28
  Speaker 11: to adapt to conditions as we have them, seldom taking
• 44:31
  Speaker 11: note of what they were used to in their native homes.
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: That's when our problems start. Most large foliage plants, for example,
• 44:38
  Speaker 11: including ficuses, rubber plants, shifleras, and Norfolk Island pines, among
• 44:42
  Speaker 11: many others, are giant trees in their tropical homes. They
• 44:46
  Speaker 11: stand atop the forest in full sun, casting shade to
• 44:49
  Speaker 11: plants below. We might expect those tropical trees to have
• 44:53
  Speaker 11: the most difficult times in our houses because of insufficient
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: lighting and that is exactly what happens. We bring them
• 44:59
  Speaker 11: home only to find their leaves all over the floor
• 45:02
  Speaker 11: several weeks later. Succulent plants and highly variegated plants in
• 45:06
  Speaker 11: most cases also need bright light. That's why jade plants
• 45:09
  Speaker 11: leaves shrivel and fall and that's why croton's new leaves
• 45:12
  Speaker 11: fail to display their bright markings that they had outdoors.
• 45:17
  Speaker 11: Most herbaceous, non-woody, or vining tropicals, by comparison, are accustomed
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: to less light, even very little sunlight. They are often
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: native to dank forest floors with only minutes of sunlight
• 45:28
  Speaker 11: per day. They're the best candidates as houseplants, not only
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: because they can handle dark indoor conditions, but also because size-wise,
• 45:36
  Speaker 11: they're more easily kept in bounds. Among the list that
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: you'll find many choices in, some common, some almost unheard of, Aglaonemus, Ponytail, Spathophyllums,
• 45:46
  Speaker 11: Vining philodendrons, pothos, sansevierias, dracaenas, and pleomeles. Those are the
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: bulletproof plants for interior landscaping. You want to buy plants
• 45:57
  Speaker 11: that have been grown and held in virtually the same
• 45:59
  Speaker 11: amount of light that they'll receive in your home. Nursesmen

  Speaker 11: found 30 or 40 years ago that weeping figs that
• 46:04
  Speaker 11: had been grown in the shade had a far better
• 46:07
  Speaker 11: chance of surviving once they were sold and taken home
• 46:09
  Speaker 11: by consumers. That was because their leaves were used to
• 46:12
  Speaker 11: the shade. That brings to the problem of number two,
• 46:16
  Speaker 11: that's watering. The amount of water a plant will need
• 46:18
  Speaker 11: is totally tied to how well the plant's growing. Plants
• 46:21
  Speaker 11: that have become almost dormant because of low light won't
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: need as much water. Plants that are getting the perfect
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: amount of light will usually need more water. If you
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: compare plants to a marathoner, it'll make more sense. While
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: the runner's sedentary, he'll need less water. By the time
• 46:36
  Speaker 11: he hits full stride in the race, however, he'll be
• 46:38
  Speaker 11: downing water much more often. Water your houseplants when the
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: soil begins to feel dry to the touch, and you'll
• 46:44
  Speaker 11: be all set. I'm Neal Sperry. Until next time, thanks
• 46:47
  Speaker 11: for listening, and happy gardening.

  Speaker 10: September 11, 2001. We remember the thousands who perished in
• 47:26
  Speaker 10: the terrorist attacks and the heroes rushing into harm's way
• 47:29
  Speaker 10: to save as many as they could. None who lived
• 47:32
  Speaker 10: through it will ever forget. None of us should. Today,
• 47:35
  Speaker 10: 25 years later, let us remember what is good about America.
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: and strive to remain united, strong, and free.

• 48:34
  Speaker 15: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 48:38
  Speaker 15: on 1620-945-WTAW. Tomorrow, the A & M football team hosts
• 48:43
  Speaker 15: their second game of the 2026 season, and this is
• 48:47
  Speaker 15: the second time in program history that A & M
• 48:49
  Speaker 15: will play against Arizona State. This is the first Big
• 48:52
  Speaker 15: 12 opponent that will play in Kyle Field since the
• 48:55
  Speaker 15: Aggies left the conference in 2011. Head coach Mike Elko
• 48:59
  Speaker 15: spoke about the top three players in each group that
• 49:02
  Speaker 15: made the biggest impact on the Missouri State game as
• 49:05
  Speaker 15: well as on the O-line.
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: On scout team, on defense, it was Tylan Wilson. Safety,
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: I thought he did a really, really good job last
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: week running around and making a bunch of plays. Offensively,
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: it was Avery Morcho at right tackle, did a really
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: good job on the O-line, and then Luke Brayden. was
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: our special team scout team player of the week in
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: the game our offensive lineman of the game was Tyree
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: Adams I thought he graded out really really well both
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: in the pass game and in the run game I
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: thought he played really really physical had the one holding
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: penalty which I thought was you know an aggressive penalty
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: at least you know obviously we don't want those but
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: at least it was in my opinion, an aggressive penalty.
• 49:42
  Speaker 15: Coach Elko also mentioned other players that made impacts on
• 49:45
  Speaker 15: the week one game on all sides of the ball.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: Defensive alignment of the week was T.J. Searcy, a guy
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: who was just really stout and firm in the run
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: game and some of the things they were trying to
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: do early on. Our players of the week on offense,
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: it was Marcel Reed, 21 for 30, 253 all-purpose yards,
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: two touchdowns. No turnovers. Thought it was a really, really
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: good start for him for the season. Defensively, it was
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: Ryan Henderson. One of the most productive games from a
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: snap count standpoint. I think he played four total snaps,
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: had a fourth down stop, and a sack fumble. So
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: that's really impressive. We obviously planned on playing him more,
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: but we didn't have very many defensive snaps in the game.
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: And then on special teams, it was Mario Craver. He
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: did a really, really nice job. wound up only averaging
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: nine yards a return, but one of those because he
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: grabbed one, saved us, and stepped out of bounds. So
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: he really had two returns for about 29 yards, which
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: was really good, creating some hidden field position for us.
• 50:42
  Speaker 15: In tomorrow's game, these are some of the players to
• 50:45
  Speaker 15: watch on the field in week two. Kickoff for the
• 50:48
  Speaker 15: A & M versus Arizona State game is set for
• 50:50
  Speaker 15: 11 o'clock in the morning at Kyle Field. The Aggie
• 50:54
  Speaker 15: soccer team opens up SEC conference play tonight in Kentucky
• 50:58
  Speaker 15: against the Wildcats. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth shared thoughts ahead
• 51:01
  Speaker 15: of opening conference play and on how his young team
• 51:04
  Speaker 15: is growing each week.
• 51:05
  Speaker 23: I feel like the team has made some big steps forward.
• 51:08
  Speaker 23: I think we're still very much a work in progress
• 51:10
  Speaker 23: and trying to develop and progress every day. I think
• 51:13
  Speaker 23: it's obviously an important week for us leading into the
• 51:16
  Speaker 23: start of SEC play, but I feel like we had
• 51:18
  Speaker 23: a good performance on Sunday and was a good step
• 51:21
  Speaker 23: forward and full attention to Kentucky. Like I said, I
• 51:24
  Speaker 23: think it's still a work in progress and I think
• 51:27
  Speaker 23: that we've again showed signs of being a really good
• 51:30
  Speaker 23: team and doing a lot of really good things. And
• 51:32
  Speaker 23: then times where, you know, we're not putting ourselves in
• 51:35
  Speaker 23: good positions and we're not putting ourselves on the front
• 51:37
  Speaker 23: foot to be successful. So I think we just got
• 51:40
  Speaker 23: to find consistency in those things and continue to try
• 51:42
  Speaker 23: to solve the game at a high rate to put
• 51:44
  Speaker 23: ourselves in those positions to be successful.
• 51:47
  Speaker 15: First kick for tomorrow's game is set for 630. The
• 51:50
  Speaker 15: A & M Volleyball team returns to Reed Arena tonight

• 54:21
  Speaker 8: More of the worst scents... imaginable to you guys.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about the fact that there's now
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: a candy corn scented perfume.
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: And we were looking for your suggestions, and they've been fantastic.
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: The idea is, could you come up with a scent
• 54:37
  Speaker 8: that is worse than candy corn as a perfume?
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: And we've got a four-pack of tickets to the San
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Antonio Zoo. Yes, we do.
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: For one of the answers. Chris, coming in strong with
• 54:50
  Speaker 8: feedlot perfume.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Speaking of coming in strong.
• 54:54
  Speaker 8: Think staying in a hotel in the Panhandle.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: My church youth group used to stay in Dalhart every
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: year on the way to our annual ski trip. We'd
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: stay in the basement of the Methodist church there.
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: All you need to do is stay in that realm
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: of the state once. It never leaves you. That's the
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: smell of money, though. Matt Nobles texts in. While in Japan,
• 55:17
  Speaker 8: I had a co-worker ordered something called salted squid guts.
• 55:21
  Speaker 22: Oh, Lord.
• 55:21
  Speaker 26: Yes.
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, Lord.
• 55:23
  Speaker 8: It is as bad as you think. And that is
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: a strong contender.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Strong contender. It's out there in the category because one
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: of the ones that popped into my head was like
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: eau de lutefisk. Oh, lutefisk.
• 55:37
  Speaker 8: If you have any experience with lutefisk, you're obviously not
• 55:41
  Speaker 8: a canned fish enthusiast. I am a canned fish enthusiast,
• 55:44
  Speaker 8: and I won't go near it because I've watched enough
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: videos on YouTube. Of people trying to consume lutefisk.
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Speaking of videos, so Chris texted in durian fruit scented perfume.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: This is that fruit. It's a spiky sort of thing.
• 55:59
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: It is the stankiest fruit. This is like, it smells
• 56:03
  Speaker 8: like literal death.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: Is that the fruit I'm thinking about?
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: And I just, so for those who like the Grand Tour,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: the new Grand Tour is out with a new cast.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: You can catch it on the Amazon.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: I was watching the season, and one of the things,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: if they missed their slide in drifting a car, they
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: knocked over a basket of durian fruit, and then everybody
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: had to eat it.
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: It's very bad. Jay texted, peeps, candy corn, and fire ants.
• 56:31
  Speaker 8: are proof that there is a devil. Yes. And he lives. Jay,
• 56:36
  Speaker 8: I could not, true words have never been spoken. Not today, Satan.
