  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: You did volleyball last night.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I did volleyball last night. It was a welcome break
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: from the chaos.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: You were busy, so it wasn't like you had gone
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: off to Walden Pond and watched a volleyball game.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You were calling a volleyball game.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Right. Which means you couldn't... Had to completely focus. Yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: there was a couple of occasions. Like there was some
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: people up there that would occasionally come try to show
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: me a screen. I'm like, look, I don't have time. Actually,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I had to brush off my daughter. We talk about
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it all the time. I don't get to see my
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: youngest daughter because of her schedule and my schedule. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: when I pulled up to the school yesterday, she was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: ending cheer practice. And before she went to the next
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: thing on her list, So I actually got to see
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: her for about five minutes. She didn't run up and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: grab me from behind as I was calling and gave
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: me a hug. You know, being the pro I am,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't miss a beat. Didn't phase you? Didn't phase me.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: People would have let that slide.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Amazing volleyball last night. The 6A Division I area playoffs.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: The Rouse team and the Seven Lakes team, I think,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: out of the Katie School District. 6A Division I, man.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: There were, I would say there's probably... Four or five
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: easy college prospects on that floor?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so volleyball has gotten– I know we are a
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: volleyball school. Volleyball has gotten big everywhere because of the
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: rise of the club game.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And these kids are freaks.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: You get some of these kids that are as tall
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: as I am and can jump. Higher than I ever
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: have been able to jump in my life.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: It's just, it's insane.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Well, even girls that are shorter than me that could
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: jump over me. Yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Straight over the net.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And just nothing. I mean, there were jump serves executed
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: on both sides, which I attempted back in my young
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and athletic days and would occasionally pull one off. These
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: were consistent. Just unbelievable volleyball last night.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: It is a sight to see, especially in the Houston
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: area where it's like, you know, anywhere you have parents,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: you have leagues, you can get some sick volleyball if
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: the city is big enough.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: The school, I mean, okay, this is a Tuesday night, right?
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Cheer team from the Seven Lakes was out there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Students from Seven Lakes out there. They traveled? They traveled.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: Heck yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday night. By the way, congratulations to A &
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: M Consolidated. They have swept their way through the area
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: round now.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Stop it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And now they are on to the next round. So, yeah,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they won in three sets last night.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: We're moving right along.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Playoffs, baby. Love to see that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to give you guys the quick rundown
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: for the program today. As such, today, I'm going to
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: assume everyone had a fairly late night last night.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Jeanette was still here when I showed up this morning.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Jeanette was, yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: 3.45.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: A fairly insane. I walk in and Jeanette's in the newsroom.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: It was a bit of a late, like, I didn't
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: leave the, I think I left the Brazos Center around
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: like 11.20 or 11.30. But, you know, I'm very aware
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: that a lot of people had a late night.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, fam. We'll get into it eventually.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's coming.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: And, boy, there's a lot to break down. Now, that said,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I think we're going to be joined by several of
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the candidates that are involved in some of the races.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Some might be over the next couple of days because, again,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: they had a very late night too.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, we will.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Trust us.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I just want to make sure you all knew. This
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: isn't intentionally ignoring anything. This is just actually physically waking.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Up before we decide.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: To, like... Look, everybody.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Go there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Everybody needs to take a breath or two, right? Everybody's exhausted.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: What a... I mean, it was a meat grinder.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: And to be fair, as I look across from me
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: at this commercial log that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Tells me what button to hit to play what commercial,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I find a drastically different stack of paper.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The landscape's a little different today.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: The landscape is a little bit different. It's a little
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: bit thinner. of a stack of papers.
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: It's over. The political ads are finally gone.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Now we can get back to what.
• 7:15
  Speaker 11: Brings us together.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Have you been injured in an accident?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: The familiar faces.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Ask your doctor if Sky Rizzi is right for you.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Those offers you can't refuse. Bet $ 5 and get $ 200
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: in bonus bets on DraftKings.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: And the comforting knowledge that someone somewhere is truly concerned
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: you might be suffering from moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: Welcome back, regular commercials.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: We love it!
• 7:39
  Speaker 12: You're still lying to us, but at least the music's better.
• 7:42
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of truth in there.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: That's, you know what, I've never been so relieved to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: hear Skyris yet.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I think the burn factor's pretty
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: high on those two. But, you know, you're right. Look,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it is time for us to collectively take a breath. Yes.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Come back together. and work for the betterment of our
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: community first.

  Speaker 4: Reasons to celebrate. I don't know how much this will help.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: But we will make an attempt.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And we will.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Start with some of the holidays today. today. Weirdly enough,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: today is National Candy Day.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And look at this. I have a pocket full of dum-dums.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Why do you have a pocket full of dum-dums?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I recently have taken to the dum-dums. And we've got
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a huge supply of them up here, I guess, left
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: over from Halloween.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: We just walked and said, oh, dum-dums, that's my jam.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Suddenly it is. Really? And I found it like last
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: night after a long day of broadcasting when I'm over
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: there trying to be the hype guy for the PA
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: for the volleyball. I found that a dum-dum.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Basically a cough trough.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It was like a lozenge.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I've thought the same thing. I think it might.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Actually be the same thing. It could be. I like
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: these better than most cough drops.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I remember those being more substantial.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are definitely victim of shrinkflation. Yeah, for sure.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Or maybe, I don't know, maybe it's just my memory.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: But yeah, they're not really, I feel like.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Dumb-dubs have always been on the smaller side, especially when
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you compare it to the blow-pop.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: It's not a Tootsie Roll pop.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Like, that's different. But, okay.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Well, hey, a great way to celebrate today, Will. Everyone
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: else can celebrate by continuing to pick their way through
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: all of the Halloween candy.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: You probably have. That's not a bad idea. It's National
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Chicken Lady Day.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I had chicken last night.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: No, chicken lady.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: As in the human lady who owns chickens. Kind of
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: like a cat lady, but slightly different.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: You know any chicken ladies?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I do know chicken ladies. This one particular
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that they mentioned, at least in my lookup of this holiday, Dr.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Martha Rina Tina Dupree, an author and a speaker, 12
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: years working with Church's Chicken. Why does that sound familiar?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: She raised over $ 11 million in scholarships. There it is.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: But I also do know chicken ladies and gentlemen.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: A lot of chicken fellows, too. A lot of chicken men.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: But it is an interesting hobby to keep. Everyone wants
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: to do it. I'd rarely find anyone that doesn't enjoy
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: it after they got into it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: And I don't think it proliferates like cat ladies do.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's necessary.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. It blew up big, of course, during
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the uncertain times of COVID. Everybody was like, yo, I've
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: got to be able to be self-sufficient. I've got to
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: get a chicken.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Time to create a homestead, y'all.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: That's right. Homesteading got pretty big. So I know lots
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of people that got into that. I'm grateful for them
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: because as it sits right now, I can bother my
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: neighbors for eggs rather than having to take care of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the chickens. But chickens are going to happen.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: It's much for me. And I say this is a
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: pretty substantial animal person. It's much like they say about
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: owning a boat or owning a private jet. You don't
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: necessarily want to be the person to own either one
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: of those two things. You want to be the friend
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: of the person.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of my vibe. I don't want to
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: own a bunch of chickens. I want to be friends
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: or neighbors with the chicken people. Because, like you said,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: the eggs.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lord.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Man, some good yard eggs.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, Lord.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: You ain't going to beat that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: National Easy Bake Oven Day. One of the old school
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: of old school toys.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I'm certain that people are still. You can look at
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: your scars and remember your time. with the easy bake
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: oven it uh.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah there were some consequences to messing that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Up yeah but just it again toys back there taught
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: real life.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Yes they did right the consequence it did yeah because
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: that's how life is and uh it's important to learn
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: also international stress awareness.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Day talk about on brand that.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: One hits uh what do you want birthdays.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Birthdays for today first of all i want to Wish
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a happy birthday to Constable Jeff Reeves. Hey, Jeff. Yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: his birthday today. Des Bryant is 38 years old today,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the former Cowboys receiver, also played for the Saints and
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the Ravens. Trishel Canatella is 47. She was on The
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Real World and Surreal Life. I figured you might know
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: who she is. I have no idea. I know Trishel.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Trishel was one of the first big stars of the
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: second generation of Real World, like first generation, the first
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: several seasons they did. And it was like they were
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: just kind of figuring it out.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I liked those better.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: And it was very big deal. That first season of
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Real World was a serious show. They were aiming for wacky.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Then it started getting a little bit stale, and then
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: they went to Vegas.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: And I want to say Trishel... She's either on that
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: cast or the one with the Miz.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Again, I don't know.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: A little bit of.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: A train wreck.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Anything after about the second or third real world.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Spun it into a bunch of the other kind of
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: reality has-been shows. One of the first people to do that, too.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: So you might call her a pioneer of the business.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I think we shall.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Curtis Stone is 51. I do know who Curtis Stone is,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the Australian celebrity chef.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Bethany Frankel is 56, one of the original Real Housewives
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: of New York City.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Legit multimillionaire, thanks to her skinny girl cocktail line.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I'd say more than that, man. She might be pushing
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: a billy at this point.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe so. Diddy is 57. Also sharing that birthday, Matthew McConaughey.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 16:22
  Speaker 16: Really? All right.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Happy birthday, Matt.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Ralph Macchio is 65. Of course... Daniel LaRusso on
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Cobra Kai and Karate Kid. Jeff Probst is 65, the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: survivor host. Kathy Griffin is 66. Holy cow. Should look
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a day under an evil 103. Laura Bush is 80.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Loretta Swit, as we get on to the stiffs category.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Hot Lips Houlihan on MASH, born on this date in 1937.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Marky Post, I used to have a big crush on her,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: born on this date in 1915. Or 1950, rather. She
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was Christine Sullivan on Night Court. Great role.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Doris Roberts, raised mom on Everybody Loves Raymond, born on
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: this date in 1925. Walter Cronkite, born on this date
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: in 1916. Oh, wow.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: The icon.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: The icon.
• 17:09
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And finally today, born on this date in 1923, the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Dutch brewery genius, Alfred Heineken.
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: Hey!
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: There we go. Okay.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: He accomplished some things in his life.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Would you like to know how Diddy will be celebrating
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: his 57th birthday? I don't have a lot of details.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: From what I understood, his prison life wasn't bad. It
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: was actually kind of living the high life until it
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: was pointed out in the press. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: If you need to rewind, he had basically found a
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: way to pay everyone in the prison to give him
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: the prison VIP treatment. Kind of like what the mob
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: got back in the Goodfellas movie, if you watched that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: But then that came out in public. They squashed it,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: also squashed the real life drug kingpin and warlord Christopher
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Duddis' privileges he had kind of gotten. So Duddis took
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: out his irritation on Diddy. Diddy got sent to the hole.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: But that said, you can always celebrate a birthday with
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: a good meal. And he's got three opportunities today.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Would you like to know what's on the menu for
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Diddy in.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Allynwood, Pennsylvania? Oh, yes, I would.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: So Diddy will be waking up today as a 57-year-old man.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: getting a birthday breakfast consisting of hot oatmeal, scrambled eggs, fruit,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: whole wheat bread with jelly and whole milk. That is
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: a really generous way to describe whatever is going to
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: be on his tray.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not guessing that the oatmeal and the eggs are
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: top shelf.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I'm going to guess that all comes in one bowl
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: and resembles a very fine stew.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Fine.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Fine as in, you know, consistency, not something.
• 18:50
  Speaker 17: Yeah, okay.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: All right, so that might be a miss.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Lunch.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: He can choose between a regular hamburger or a black
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: bean burger with lettuce, tomatoes, sliced red onions, and condiments.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: They don't even give you cheese?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe there's some way to convert cheese
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: into a prison shank I don't know about.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Plus oven-baked, oven-browned potatoes, fruit, and a bev.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: That's not horrible. I mean, I'm assuming that's kind of
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: like what you'd get at the old high school cafeteria,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that kind of burger.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take that high school meal 10 times
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: out of 10.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I am not sure it holds up. Okay, so breakfast, lunch, okay.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Dinner, pork roast, mashed potatoes and gravy and mixed vegetables
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: with a side of whole wheat bread.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: That's, again.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: It's all in the execution.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that sounds pretty fancy for prison.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, and you can also buy a three-pack of birthday cupcakes,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: if he desires, from the commissary for $ 1.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: 25.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: He's got some good prices.
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: There.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I think he's good for it. I don't know.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe by the end of it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: How many people has he had to pay protection for?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: All right. Anyway, weather today. You're going to love it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: It's beautiful.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Starting out in the 50s.
• 20:03
  Speaker 18: 56 currently.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Getting up to a high of 75 tonight. Clear and
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: low of 50 degrees.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 20:09
  Speaker 16: Maybe.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Even low that starts with a four. If you're lucky,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: weather is brought to you by Malik. Be prepared for

• 20:31
  Speaker 19: I know election day gets very tiring, very draining, very emotional,
• 20:35
  Speaker 19: very up and down. And, you know, we've been experiencing
• 20:39
  Speaker 19: this whole campaign. I just have never had a pulse
• 20:43
  Speaker 19: on which way this sucker was going to go.
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: Although last year we won the last election.
• 20:46
  Speaker 19: We knew very confident going in, kept most of it
• 20:50
  Speaker 19: to myself on purpose by design.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: Anyway, we will have perspective.
• 20:56
  Speaker 19: And a analysis that you're not going to get from
• 20:59
  Speaker 19: the legacy media mob or anyone in the liberal media community.
• 21:02
  Speaker 19: It's just they're not capable of it. They don't want it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 19: They'll misinterpret everything. And we will hopefully get it straight.
• 21:08
  Speaker 19: It's all happening.

• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Let us explain.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Affordable housing for everyone.
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: That prevents child abuse.

  Speaker 1: And access to health care in every community.
• 25:08
  Speaker 22: Prevents child abuse too. High quality affordable child care.

• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. Let's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: get started with some election results with Jeanette Munchau.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: To say that we had some close races last night
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: might be the understatement of the year. We are going
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: to start in Bryan. Single member District 2. That is
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: going to go to a runoff. We had three candidates.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Chrissy Ransom took the majority of the votes with 44%
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: of the vote. Ray Arrington and Jeanette Mosley separated by
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: only two votes. Right now, Mosley ahead of Arrington. By
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: those two votes, if that stands, it will be Ransom
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: and Mosley heading to the runoff. In Bryant Single Member
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: District 1, Paul Torres handily holds on to his seat
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: with a sweeping victory over Chris Scotti, 71 to 29%.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: And Mayor Brian Gutierrez will retain the title, beating Rafael Pena,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: 57 to 43. In College Station, the new mayor will
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: be Bob Yancey. He beat Elizabeth Kuna, 59 to 41%.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: And in the three council races in College Station, we
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: are going to have two runoffs. In place two, Chandler
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Arden beat Michael Kidd with 63% of the vote. In
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: council place one, we're going to see a runoff between
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Mark Smith and Howard Main. And in place five, we've
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: got a runoff between Trey Watson and Peyton Holtz. Another
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: close one we've got to talk about is State Representative
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: District 14. Only 315 votes separating first from second place
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: as it stands right now. That 315 vote lead is
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: held by Janet Dunning. If that does hold, Paul Dyson
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: going to lose his reelection bid. In State Rep District 12,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Trey Wharton's going to hold on to his seat. Charles
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Schwertner's going to hold on to State Senate District 5.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And it looks like Chris Gober is going to take U.S.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Representative District 10. I'm Jeanette Minchow, WTAW.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: 78% of voters in Bryan want to remove the Texas
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Avenue medians. The city issued a statement late Tuesday reminding residents...
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: that the vote doesn't make it so. The road is
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: controlled by TxDOT, and they will have to give final approval.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: They have other items in the works in hopes of
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: improving mobility, including removing a section of median at Brookside
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Drive and adding a traffic signal, evaluating potential changes at
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: additional locations along Texas Avenue through collaboration between city engineering
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: staff and TxDOT, and seeking funding to install loons at
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: intersections along Texas Avenue. They're expanded paved areas to create
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: extra space for safer U-turns. TxDOT says they're aware of
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the dirt and debris along the Big Six construction project.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: They're working with the contractor to address the issue and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: increase sweeping efforts. TxDOT is also reminding drivers to slow
• 29:14

• 30:17
  Speaker 1: issue of allowing hemp-derived THC products... is back in the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: hands of a Travis County judge.
• 30:23
  Speaker 24: Judge Maria Hexel heard arguments Monday about why hemp store
• 30:26
  Speaker 24: owners believe the current ban on popular hemp products like
• 30:30
  Speaker 24: Delta-8 and Delta-10 is not legal. The problem dates back
• 30:33
  Speaker 24: to May when the state Supreme Court decided that trace
• 30:36
  Speaker 24: amounts of naturally grown THC could still be legal. Attorney
• 30:40
  Speaker 24: David Sergi represents the hemp store owners. He argued that
• 30:43
  Speaker 24: there is no definition of trace.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Was ill-defined.
• 30:46
  Speaker 25: It did not allow manufacturers to know with certainty what
• 30:50
  Speaker 25: parts per.
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: Million could or could not be utilized in the manufacturing process.
• 30:54
  Speaker 24: Sergi says so far more than a dozen smoke shops
• 30:57
  Speaker 24: have been raided by the state. The hemp store owners
• 31:00
  Speaker 24: want the judge to throw out the old rules and
• 31:02
  Speaker 24: start over again. In Austin, Chris Fox, TSN News.

• 33:49
  Speaker 4: from last night. But I was kind of half listening
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: to Will.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: As you generally do.
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: You were saying something about the state of Idaho.
• 34:00
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Which I found fascinating. Wouldn't this be cool to have
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: had this on the ballot amongst everything else, right? And
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: this was not, it's a non-binding referendum, but the Idaho
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: legislature passed House Bill 932, both the House and the Senate.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: So the bill got signed into law directing election officials
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: to add this non-binding referendum to the ballot yesterday. The
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: measure asked voters... Which of the following guns should be
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: designated as the state gun of Idaho? This is... Why
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: don't we have a... You said, why don't we not
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: have a Texas state gun?
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: So I just Googled this, and I need to look
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: it up. So do the same.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: I am showing that we have two state guns.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: State gun number one in Texas is the 1847 Colt
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Walker pistol. Designated on May 24, 2021. Now, this is
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: the revolver developed by Samuel Colt with input from Samuel
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Hamilton Walker, the Texas Ranger. And that's a pretty strong contender.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Any guess what the second gun of Texas is?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I got it because I found it and I
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: This kind of ends the conversation because our other state gun, is.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: The only state gun. It's the cannon.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Gotta love a good cannon. From Gonzalez. That's recent, by
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: the way. Designated by resolution on May 29, 2025, submitting
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: its pivotal role in the Texas Revolution.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come and take it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: So before we get to what guns were on the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: ballot in Idaho, I do need to mention that for
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: several years, in a horrible... horrible decision of somebody who
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: should have taken charge. I was responsible for a cannon.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: What? Yeah. We had a cannon that my fraternity fired
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: at football games. It was a muzzle loading.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Y'all are not big enough of a college to have it.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: I worry like I worry about a college y'all size
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: with a cannon.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: You should have been.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Please tell, how did this work for you guys? Because
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I know A & M Texas, we all know how
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: they do it. But how did y'all?
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Well, at Ouachita Baptist University, we would load the cannon
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: up from its hidden location because rivals would always try
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to steal it. You had to hide the cannon. We
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: would put it in our buddy's El Camino.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: You just threw it in the back of the car?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it took about four of us to lift it.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: It's a cannon. Yeah, and put it in the back
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: of the El Camino. We would drive it through town.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: And pull up on the football field in the end zone,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: take it out of the El Camino, and set the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: cannon in the shot put circle. And then when we
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: would score, we would have it loaded up with an
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: appropriate charge. There was some measurement of black powder we
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: were supposed to put in it that I, for one,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: blatantly ignored.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: That's what I was going to ask. I don't know that.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I feel like you would have pushed the limits on
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: that thing.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple times.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: You know it can explode, right?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Sometimes cannons go wrong.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: We did actually have it tested annually to make sure
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: that the barrel was intact. And maybe that was later
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: on when somebody said, you know, maybe we ought to
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: get this thing looked at. So I'd load that black
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: powder and then you'd take newspaper and wad it up
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: in balls and use it for wadding.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Is that how you do this newspaper?
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you'd shove it down in there and then
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: in the breach you would fill it up with a
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: different powder and then it had a little blasting cap
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: and you'd pull a string and the hammer would hit
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the cap and then it would go off and it
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: would shoot flaming balls of newspaper across the football field
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and children would come running out to stomp out the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: fires before play could resume. So that was my short
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: canon story. What happened to the cannon after you? So
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the cannon is now a memorial on campus. And I
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: can tell you, though, I can tell you that the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: diameter for the cannon was the perfect size for a
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: pool ball. I'm just going to lay that out there.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: That's too much cannon for you guys.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Well, and it'll shoot a pool ball pretty far.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: Well, it ceases being a pool ball and becomes a cannon.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: It does. At that point. So on the ballot in Idaho,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: by the way. Good Lord.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Sorry, that was the better story.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I don't know. I'd like to.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't know a cannon was going to be our
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: official state gun here in Texas, which I loved. So,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: on the ballot in Idaho, and if you'd like to
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: vote for these, I'd love to hear your opinions. Winchester
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Model 1894, the.
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: 30- 30.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Solid. Winchester Model 1873, the gun that won
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the West, the.
• 39:07
  Speaker 22: 44- 40.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: That's hard to beat.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Hard to beat. Although the. 30- 30 has been used far longer. 1873,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: single-action Colt Army revolver, the Peacemaker, the. 45 Colt.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Colt Peacemaker.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Then we get into some more modern firearms.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Wait, how long is this list?
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: There's only three more.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: There's six.
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: Continue.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Three more. There's six. So the M1 Grand Rifle, the. 30- 06,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the M11. The Colt M1911. 45 Automatic Colt Pistol, my favorite.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: All right, all right.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: 1911.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Not bad. And Remington Model 700 Bolt Action Rifle.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: So I would have to take two off the list. Okay,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: where do you eliminate? No, if I was going to
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: push two forward.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, we're going to the finals.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I would go the Winchester Model 1894.
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And I would go with the 1911. But there's some
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: favoritism there. Historically, probably go with the 1873. I'd have to... Yeah,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I'd have to listen.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: There's a possibility one of those might hold sway more
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: in Idaho. That's my only thing. Because I'm kind of,
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I would say, the Peacemaker, dude. I mean, you know.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: That's a pretty, or the gun that won the West.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, how do you beat that?
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Well, both of those are Model 1873s. Yeah, yeah. So
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I would actually put those two forward if I was
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: looking simply from a historical perspective.
• 40:22
  Speaker 10: Right, right, right.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: But, you know, if there's a gun in Idaho that
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you know, catches their eye, similar
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: to our cannon.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Because, again, the canon.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: We got a canon.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: The canon makes a lot more sense. It's kind of
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: one of the only in Texas things.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Because, you know, again.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: By the way, if you want to see the canon.
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: There is a replica of the Twin Cities, Twin Sisters
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: canon at the Boonville Heritage Park. You know what?
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I did not know that, Ann. Thank you for that.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: So they have.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: They have one there.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Go back and see the.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: One of the Twin Sisters.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: How cool is that?
• 40:55
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Look, we're going to take a break.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, text us any time this morning, 979-695-1620. We're
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: back right after this on the Info Maniac.
• 41:04
  Speaker 12: Ranchers, it's time to start thinking about your fall and
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: winter pastures. Producers Cooperative Agronomy Department can blend rye, oats,
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: or any other small grains with fertilizer to ensure you
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: get a strong stand for winter grazing. We can spread
• 41:18
  Speaker 12: it for you, or you can do it yourself with
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: one of our drag spreaders for the homeowners.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Our Brazos Best Winterizer.
• 41:25

• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Healthy, and ready for the spring.

  Speaker 12: Producers Cooperative, everything agronomy since 1943.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Your house is the biggest piece of artwork that you'll
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: ever own.
• 41:38
  Speaker 28: You need to think of it as a magnificent painting,
• 41:40
  Speaker 28: and everything you do should showcase its beauty and conceal
• 41:44
  Speaker 28: the blemishes. You need a lovely frame for your painting,
• 41:47
  Speaker 28: and that frame comes in the form of your landscape.
• 41:50
  Speaker 28: The landscape's function is to complement the artwork, not draw
• 41:53
  Speaker 28: undue attention from it. You wouldn't choose pink polka dots
• 41:56
  Speaker 28: for your Monet's frame. You would look for something tasteful
• 42:00
  Speaker 28: and simple, probably elegant and perhaps natural, and that frame
• 42:04
  Speaker 28: would be in scale with the size of the artwork.
• 42:07
  Speaker 28: We're going to get into some specifics, the true focus
• 42:09
  Speaker 28: for your landscape, right after this important message. My book
• 42:13
  Speaker 28: is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe it's the
• 42:17

• 43:12
  Speaker 28: I have some ways I see gardeners getting too cute
• 43:14
  Speaker 28: with their landscaping, taking its true purpose off course. Almost
• 43:18
  Speaker 28: every one of us has tried one or two of
• 43:20
  Speaker 28: these over the years, and in many cases we've realized
• 43:23
  Speaker 28: that we missed the mark, that our great idea wasn't
• 43:25
  Speaker 28: really so hot. In each case, I'll give you a
• 43:28
  Speaker 28: couple of alternatives. Sometimes we forget the focal point. The
• 43:32
  Speaker 28: place you want to draw viewers' eyes will be your
• 43:34
  Speaker 28: front door. It is to your house what Mona Lisa's
• 43:38
  Speaker 28: eyes are to her beauty. Never forget it as you design.
• 43:42
  Speaker 28: Narrow beds. Now, this is a scale thing. If your
• 43:45
  Speaker 28: house is two-story and if your property is reasonably large,
• 43:48
  Speaker 28: the beds you design need to be appropriately sized. That
• 43:51
  Speaker 28: might mean that they're 5 or 7 or 10 or
• 43:53
  Speaker 28: 15 feet wide. On the other hand, if you're landscaping
• 43:57
  Speaker 28: a one-story home on a small urban property, bed widths
• 44:00
  Speaker 28: need to be scaled back to 3 or 4 or
• 44:02
  Speaker 28: 5 feet wide, maybe 6 or 7 feet at the corners.
• 44:06
  Speaker 28: This whole scale and proportion thing can be compared back
• 44:09
  Speaker 28: to the picture frames. If you're framing a large painting
• 44:12
  Speaker 28: that will hang behind the sofa, you'd use a wider
• 44:15
  Speaker 28: frame than you would for an 8x10 hallway photo of
• 44:17
  Speaker 28: the family. I see people planting in straight beds. These
• 44:23
  Speaker 28: points build on one another, and we've already alluded to
• 44:25
  Speaker 28: the fact that your beds might have varying widths, wider
• 44:28
  Speaker 28: at the entry in the corners and narrowing in between.
• 44:31
  Speaker 28: Your goal in landscaping is to create a pleasant natural
• 44:35
  Speaker 28: meadow into which your house magically appears. Nature works in curves,
• 44:39
  Speaker 28: almost never in straight lines. Long, gentle, and sweeping curves
• 44:43
  Speaker 28: will be visually appealing. Straight beds merely repeat the lines
• 44:47
  Speaker 28: of the house. Unless you're creating a highly stylized formal garden,
• 44:51
  Speaker 28: it's better to avoid straight lines. You also attempt symmetry
• 44:56
  Speaker 28: in an asymmetric world. I see people doing that. A
• 44:59
  Speaker 28: house is not necessarily symmetrical. Usually you don't have a
• 45:02
  Speaker 28: mirror image left and right of the front door, and
• 45:05
  Speaker 28: so your landscape should not attempt to be symmetrical either.
• 45:09
  Speaker 28: Don't square off your shrubs. Plants aren't intended to be
• 45:13
  Speaker 28: square or to be completely globe-shaped either. Let them grow naturally.
• 45:18
  Speaker 28: There are lots of things to think about when you
• 45:20
  Speaker 28: plan your landscape. I'm Neal Sperry, and that's Plant Talk

  Speaker 29: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
• 48:02
  Speaker 29: on 1620-945-WTAW. The A & M men's basketball team won
• 48:07
  Speaker 29: its second straight season opener, cruising to a 97-66 victory
• 48:12
  Speaker 29: over Alabama State last night at Reed Arena. The Marina
• 48:16
  Speaker 29: White capitalized on lockdown defense, registering 30 points off turnovers.
• 48:21
  Speaker 29: Head coach Bucky McMillan shared thoughts on the team's performance.
• 48:25
  Speaker 13: You know, I think that 97 points was probably the
• 48:28
  Speaker 13: absolute minimum we could have scored in that game. You know,
• 48:31
  Speaker 13: we had 30 points off turnovers. Our guys played hard.
• 48:34
  Speaker 13: We only had 11 turnovers, which is a positive. We
• 48:36
  Speaker 13: turned them over 25 times. You can't do that without
• 48:38
  Speaker 13: playing hard. But overall, I don't think our guys played
• 48:42
  Speaker 13: their A game individually when it came to skill. We
• 48:46
  Speaker 13: sit here and it's a major positive that when you
• 48:48
  Speaker 13: say you get to the line 48 times, I mean,
• 48:51
  Speaker 13: I think this team will be getting to the line,
• 48:54
  Speaker 13: but You know, going 29 to 48 from the free
• 48:57
  Speaker 13: throw line in your home gym, that's got to be
• 49:00
  Speaker 13: way better. Three-pointers, it's kind of like it ended up
• 49:03
  Speaker 13: bouncing out, and we got to 35% in the game,
• 49:06
  Speaker 13: but it kind of bounced out late in the game.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: So I think we'd have.
• 49:09
  Speaker 13: A better taste in our mouth if that happened to
• 49:11
  Speaker 13: start the game when we came out making threes. So
• 49:14
  Speaker 13: I do think you'll see we're more of a physically
• 49:16
  Speaker 13: imposing team. I thought Alabama State played really hard. but
• 49:19
  Speaker 13: it was a good look for us we got to
• 49:21
  Speaker 13: get a lot better you know I still thought there
• 49:24
  Speaker 13: were some positives in the game.
• 49:25
  Speaker 29: Up next A & M returns to Reed Arena on
• 49:28
  Speaker 29: Friday to host Northern Kentucky with tip-off set for seven o'clock.
• 49:32
  Speaker 29: Texas A & M women's golf head coach Jared Chadwell
• 49:36
  Speaker 29: was named to the WGCA National Coach of the Year
• 49:39
  Speaker 29: watch list yesterday afternoon. Chadwell led his team to a No.
• 49:43
  Speaker 29: 12 ranking to wrap up the fall portion of the schedule.
• 49:47
  Speaker 29: The Aggies secured four top-five finishes, including a victory at
• 49:50
  Speaker 29: the Fin. The title at the Fin was Chadwell's 13th
• 49:54
  Speaker 29: at A & M, which has him tied for second
• 49:57
  Speaker 29: all-time in program history. Aggie Volleyball's Kaya Castle was named
• 50:01
  Speaker 29: SEC Defensive Player of the Week following a pair of
• 50:04
  Speaker 29: standouts showing versus two ranked opponents the league announced earlier
• 50:08
  Speaker 29: this week. This is Castle's first SEC Weekly Honor and
• 50:12
  Speaker 29: is the second Aggie to be named Defensive Player of
• 50:15
  Speaker 29: the Week this season. The Aggie football team is just
• 50:18
  Speaker 29: three days out from hitting the road to South Carolina
• 50:21
  Speaker 29: to take on the Gamecocks. Last season, the Aggies rallied
• 50:24
  Speaker 29: a 30-3 halftime deficit to defeat South Carolina 31-30. The
• 50:29
  Speaker 29: 27-point comeback was the largest in school history, breaking the
• 50:33
  Speaker 29: old record of 21 points in the Aggies' 52-48 win
• 50:37
  Speaker 29: over Duke in the 2013 Chick-fil-A Bowl. Kickoff for the
• 50:41
  Speaker 29: game is set for Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. That's
• 50:44
  Speaker 29: your morning sports update on 1620-945-WTAW. I'm Riley Flurkey.
• 50:51

  Speaker 1: When you've got plumbing problems, you need a team you

  Speaker 30: Cole Parker Plumbing, quality service you can count on. Here's
• 51:22
  Speaker 30: Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 51:24
  Speaker 23: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 51:25
  Speaker 23: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 51:28
  Speaker 23: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 51:31
  Speaker 23: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 51:33
  Speaker 23: received a competitor's bid, which was five to 10 times
• 51:36
  Speaker 23: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 51:39
  Speaker 23: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 51:42
  Speaker 23: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 51:45
  Speaker 23: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 51:49
  Speaker 23: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
• 51:53
  Speaker 23: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
• 51:55
  Speaker 23: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 51:58
  Speaker 23: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
• 52:00
  Speaker 23: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
• 52:03
  Speaker 23: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
• 52:07
  Speaker 23: full-time employees. Why pay more if you can get everything
• 52:10
  Speaker 23: you need at a fair price from a locally owned business?
