  Speaker 4: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys. We're the Infomaniacs. Again, we're looking
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: at a hot day today, close to 100 degrees, and
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: it's going to feel 10 degrees hotter than that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yay.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Yay.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Out of the 70s tonight. It was brought to you

  Speaker 4: the difference. I want to go back to one more
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: of these last meal text messages because Bradley might have
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: figured out the ultimate answer.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He blew it up, yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: He says, for a last meal, I would choose McDonald's,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: specifically a McRib and soft-serve ice cream. The chances of
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: both of those being available currently... At the same time,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: our infinitesimal perpetual stay of execution.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: There you go, man. Loophole. Loophole.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Love a good loophole.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: We are very grateful that we had the opportunity this
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: morning to talk to Brian Mariprotem, James Edge.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Good morning, sir.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Let me turn your mic on. That might be helpful.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: And I texted you on Friday about this, and I
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: was I was I was very happy you decided to
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: come in and talk about it because you have been
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: the topic of discussion for a good entire weekend and
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: a day prior to that. And the reason being is
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: that a tweet dropped. I want to say it was Thursday,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: but it listed a list of Republicans in the state
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: that had publicly decided to endure endorse James Tallarico. and
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: you were one of the names on that list, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I was fascinated by it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: At the top, as a matter of fact. Yeah, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: got top billing, dude. Yeah, I don't know how that happened.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: The reason it was so fascinating was like, I was thinking,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: has that ever happened previously, or at least in recent memory?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And by that, we're talking about local political offices. A
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: local political.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Office holder being public about an endorsement. Crossing party or
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: not of a state or national candidate.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if that's happened before.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: You know, and I want to just up front, I
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: want to say, number one, this has nothing to do
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: with the city of Bryan or the Bryan City Council.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: This is my endorsement. Yeah, private. It's it is my
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: endorsement as an individual.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: And, of course, the Bryan City Council is a nonpartisan
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: elected office. So, you know, Republican, Democrat, that part of
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: it doesn't really matter. I've had a long history of
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: being active in the local Republican Party. And, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: it was not a decision that I made lightly. I
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: don't know if it's something that has been done in previous,
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: but I kind of felt like, you know, it would
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: be hypocritical of me to feel strongly about something and
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: not be public about it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So was that the motivation to to push you to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that that point in time to make that make that decision?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Because it's one thing to choose who you vote for.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And then it's another thing to come out and publicly
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: endorse a candidate. So where was that motivation?
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I think personally for me, this this one,
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: it stems from the fact that I think this is
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: a very unique situation. I feel I've been frustrated for
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: some time. I feel like we're racing to the bottom
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: of the barrel. with the people that we're nominating and
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: many of the people that we're electing. We've got an
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: attorney general who has a long history of corruption, a
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: long history of abuse of office, and the fact that
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: he was nominated by my party to run for United
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: States Senate is just something I could not Reconciled.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So this was the this was the bottom of the
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: barrel for you. Last straw.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's a South Park episode from a long time back
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: where you had just a couple of choices to vote for.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I assume I remember that one.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I say, yeah, I assume that again, like, I mean,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: just guessing. I'm going to guess over time there have
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: been people in either city that voted opposite of where
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: you might think they'd vote. They decide, hey, this is
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: a stretch too far. Why did it make a difference,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: or why is this election one that you wanted to specifically, okay,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: you have a political decision, it's a personal decision, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I'm going to take that extra step and say, okay, look,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: I need to put my voice behind this, put my
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: name on it. Why make that choice?
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Well, political parties are coalitions, they're not religions. And the
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: fact that I have been, you know, I voted in
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: every Republican primary since I turned 18, with one exception,
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: and that was part of that old Operation Chaos, which
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: has gotten some of us into trouble.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: If you remember that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I do remember that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: I've served as a delegate to the state Republican convention
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: multiple times. I think I've demonstrated that the Republican Party
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: is my home or has been my home.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And it's reached the point now where I see.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: The things that we are expressing as the most important
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: issues are not issues at all. They're things like like
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: this ridiculous assertion that the election was rigged. There's one
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: gentleman that's trying to pass a bill to avoid furries
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: in public schools so kids don't use litter boxes.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just silly, performative things.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: You know, our national debt just reached $ 40 trillion, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: we don't have serious people representing us in Washington. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: I see Ken Paxton as one of those performative individuals saying,
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: I don't expect that he's going to do anything other than,
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: than feed the base that is active in Republican primaries.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: So with that said, again, that's an opinion that a
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: lot of people are going to have. A lot of
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: people are going to have an opposite one, and both
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: are the.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Way they are.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: You mentioned how long you have been, again, since you
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: were 18, nothing but a Republican, still a Republican today, obviously,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: you're just going in another direction. Were you were you
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: surprised by the blowback being as large as it was?
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Over something like this.
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: Oh, I honestly I'm flabbergasted. I mean, honestly, who in
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: the world cares what I think? It's my way of
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: looking at it. It's been I will tell you that
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: I I don't really do a lot of social media.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: I frankly never read the comments, and I think that,
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: from what I understand, is probably a good thing in
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: this case. I've heard from some people that have reached
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: out to me personally. I have seen a few things online,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: and I feel like I probably will end up having
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: to address this directly at some point, because when I
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: allowed for my name to be used in this, I
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: did not intend to make it a... I'm certainly not
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: going to go on... I'm not a spokesman for James Tallarico,
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: and I'm not working for his campaign... But I feel
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: like I'm going to have to sort of put out
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: an explanation. I'm happy to do that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Well, this is the I mean, I think that, again,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: this is it was so wild to see, again, how
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: visceral the reaction to this was. And I just find
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: it fascinating because, again, you're not someone people don't know.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: You're not someone people aren't used to. But it feels
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: like that there is an expectation at this point. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: right or wrong, I don't know. I mean, you're looking
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: at a 50-50 split in the Senate. And I would
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: guess the argument is that, hey, some of this is
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: so important, you might just hold your nose and vote
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: for some guy who you think is not great. But
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: even with both of those things in play, it almost
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: feels like the expectation from the community is, don't you
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: dare cross a line that we don't expect you to cross.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: And a vote just seems kind of, I don't know.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: No, I would agree with you.
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: I think that, you know, obviously there's a lot of
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: people that are surprised by my decision, a lot of
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: people that are frankly disappointed with it. But I would
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: remind them, you know, it's this idea that somehow we
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: have to remain in the tribe no matter what the
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: tribe is doing.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: To me, that's very destructive.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: I think that the best way to, you know, the
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: vast majority of people are, are basically center right in
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: this community and in this state. And if we want
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: to get back to the point where we've got a functioning,
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: governing entity in Washington, D.C., we're going to have to
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: start recognizing the real issues. We've got a $ 40 trillion
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: national debt. We're not funding education at the state level,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: either K-12 or higher education. There's so many things that
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: we're neglecting for the sake of this performative politics. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: I personally think a more competitive two-party system is going
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: to do more to try to bring out more of
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: the center-right, maybe center-left candidates that are going to reflect
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: what the people believe a little bit more. All we're
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: doing is appealing to the extremes on both sides.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Now let me ask you this, considering, again, the weekend,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the blowback, everything. Do you anticipate there's going to be
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: consequences to your job, what you do for the city
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: of Bryan?
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: I hope not.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, I would hope that no one would try
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: to weaponize this against our city.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care about myself.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: You know, I had someone that came after me recently
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: before this even started threatening that they would somehow work
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: against me in my next election. Yeah. I had to
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: remind him that I have no intention of running for anything.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: You know, that doesn't really work with me because, you know,
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: I've served. gosh, I'm at six years now, six and
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: a half years. I've got two more years on council.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: I could run for four more years. My wife would
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: never let me do that. As a matter of fact,
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: I don't want to be near 70 years old when
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: I'm on Bryan City Council. So this is a decision
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: I made personally. I know that we have elected officials
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: in our community that feel strongly a different way than
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: I do. We have elected officials in our community that
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: feel exactly like I do. I've heard from them. I've
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: heard from elected officials. I've heard from former elected officials.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: I've heard from a lot of staffers of state offices
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: that have expressed solidarity and basically said we feel exactly
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: the same way, but we don't feel like we can
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: say this publicly.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I think.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: The reaction that we've seen to my comments, I think,
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: demonstrate that.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you, the text message I'm looking at,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I've got some people saying they will not tune in
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: again because we had you on this morning. That's fairly strong.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: And again, the politics are one thing here. And there
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: are a lot of text messages that want to debate
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: the politics. And I don't find that to be the
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: story here. The story here to me is, again, twofold.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Number one, this isn't hardly ever done.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And why?
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: It seems like there would be some crossover. But then
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: the second thing, is, again, do you have to agree
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: with every single vote from every single elected representative from
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: now moving forward? Because I feel like what I'm hearing
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: as I read the text message and read social is, yes,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: that is our expectation. If it is, should it be?
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of there. James, you're correct
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in the fact that, you know, the parties have both
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: split to the edges and there's a big highway down
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the middle. Clearly, you're correct in that. You're also correct
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in the fact that there's going to be people that
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: are very passionate about it, even though we're not talking
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: about the politics of it here. We're talking about the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: decisions that you made. First of all, I want to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: applaud you for coming on and being willing to discuss this. Absolutely, yes.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And second of all, I mean, I don't agree with
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: everybody politically. I have common ground with most people. The
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: fact that we can discuss that rather than go to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: blows instantly.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Guys, that is a big deal to be able to
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: do that. And I don't know when it was where
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: it kind of went the other way. But good Lord,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: do you really want it to be that caustic?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: That divisive.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: That divisive.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: At some point in time, we're going to all have
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to figure out a way to work together.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to assume some people say, yeah, it's
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: that important. Okay, fine. But I think it deserves some thought.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: as to if this is the direction we want to
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: head in our discourse still. And with that said, again,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: whether I agree or not, I want to salute you
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: for one thing in particular, and that is putting your
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: name on a statement like this. That doesn't happen a
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: whole lot anymore. It's a bold statement. Regardless of politics,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I appreciate bold moves. I always have. And again, it
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: doesn't happen a lot. And certainly it doesn't happen a
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: lot to come back in and discuss it the Monday
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: morning after, again, being all over the Internet with some
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: wild things being said from people that are in the community.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: And it's something, man. It's absolutely something. But but thank
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: you for coming.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to come out
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: here like this. And I do agree. I mean, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: see that, you know, I've seen the the discourse in Washington, D.C.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: that has migrated down to Texas. You know, there was
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: a time very, it wasn't that long ago when George W.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: Bush and Bob Bullock worked together to get things done
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: in the state of Texas.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Absolutely true.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: We've seen that same.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: The caustic politicization and partisanship in Washington, D.C.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Has migrated to Texas.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: And unfortunately, there's a lot of people that would like
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: to see that migrate down to Brazos County and to
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: the city of Bryant. And I would personally, it would
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: break my heart to see that happen because that breaks
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: people apart. It breaks families, friends, Lord knows. And you
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: don't get anything done. So, like I say, I don't
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: expect everyone to agree with me, and I'm not out
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: there campaigning, but it's important to me. And, you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: I would just ask people to think for themselves. Don't
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: let somebody else force you into voting for someone that
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: you know is unfit for office. Just take a look
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: at it. Don't look at political ads. Look at it
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: on your own. There's a lot of information out there,
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: and make your own decision based upon what you believe
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: is right. what your conscience tells you, and we'll be fine.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I should also mention that a lot of people are
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: texting in support of what you're saying.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Support of the discourse.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Support of the discourse, support of researching, support of voting
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: your conscience, all these things. So it's not a, you know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: it's a very loud text message board this morning, which
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: is the point. It's a good thing. That is a
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: good thing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: And I still am absolutely flabbergasted that Anyone cares.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: James, thank you so much.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Choked me up, James. I appreciate it, my man.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: We'll be back after this.
• 19:15

• 19:24
  Speaker 10: I swear, coach, I had.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: It in my sights. It just vanished.
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: And what about you, Morgan? You threw the ball to
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: the other team.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: What's going on, son? I don't know, coach. It's like
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: I can't see the field clearly anymore. Everything's a blur.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: Okay, team, huddle up. Here's the new play. We're all
• 19:41

  Speaker 10: the right glasses or contacts from Urban Optics.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: we'll be unstoppable.

• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And now for the bonus round.
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: Who imposes property taxes?
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: State government. Nice try, but no.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Local governments.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: Correct.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And we have a winner. Here's Governor Greg Abbott on
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: his plan to control property taxes.
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: why your property taxes are going up is because local
• 20:42
  Speaker 13: governments are increasing their spending. So the first thing we
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: got to do is to stop the spending that leads
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: to property tax increases. You should have a say on
• 20:53
  Speaker 13: whether or not your property taxes go up. It should
• 20:55
  Speaker 13: be a vote that requires two-thirds vote before any property
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: tax increase can ever be imposed on our fellow Texans.
• 21:03
  Speaker 13: You're going to be able to live in your home
• 21:05
  Speaker 13: for the rest of your lives without being priced out
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: of it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Protecting homeowners. Lowering property taxes. That's Governor Greg Abbott. Political
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.

  Speaker 14: This is Today in Texas History brought to you by
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: the Museum of the American G.I.
• 21:21
  Speaker 15: On this day, September the 14th in 1859, Robert Neighbors,
• 21:27
  Speaker 15: Indian agent, was shot and killed by Edward Cornett at
• 21:31
  Speaker 15: Fort Belknap. Neighbors was first appointed as an Indian agent
• 21:35
  Speaker 15: in 1845. As agent, he instituted the Field System of
• 21:41
  Speaker 15: Indian Control. That is, instead of remaining at the agency headquarters,
• 21:46
  Speaker 15: and waiting for the Indians to pay him a visit,
• 21:49
  Speaker 15: as was the custom practice, neighbors dealt with them directly
• 21:52
  Speaker 15: in their home territory. Later, when he was overseeing Comanches,
• 21:57
  Speaker 15: he continued this practice, with the result that he spent
• 22:00
  Speaker 15: much time far beyond the frontier and exercised greater influence
• 22:05
  Speaker 15: over the Indians in Texas than any other white man
• 22:08
  Speaker 15: of his generation. In 1853, he was made supervising agent
• 22:13
  Speaker 15: for the Texas Indians. As a member of the 4th
• 22:16
  Speaker 15: Texas Legislature, he opened the way for Indian reservations. After
• 22:21
  Speaker 15: receiving numerous death threats because of his attempts to protect
• 22:24
  Speaker 15: Texas Indians, he was finally assassinated in 1859. I bet
• 22:29
  Speaker 15: you didn't know that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 14: That was Today in Texas History brought to you by
• 22:34

• 24:27
  Speaker 21: Oil prices have popped this morning by more than 2%
• 24:30
  Speaker 21: after Saudi Arabia closed its critical pipeline that bypasses the

  Speaker 1: Onyx, I keep having stomach issues.
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: Please make me a doctor's appointment.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 25:30
  Speaker 22: Are you suffering from diarrhea, bloating, gas, or oily stools?
• 25:33
  Speaker 22: If so, you may want to ask your doctor if
• 25:35
  Speaker 22: it could actually be a problem with your pancreas, called
• 25:37
  Speaker 22: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or EPI.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: My pancreas? How is EPI treated?
• 25:41
  Speaker 22: A prescription medicine like Creon, pancrelipase, is used to treat
• 25:44
  Speaker 22: people who can't digest food normally because their pancreas doesn't
• 25:47
  Speaker 22: make enough enzymes. Creon is the number one prescribed treatment
• 25:50
  Speaker 22: for EPI.
• 25:50
  Speaker 23: Creon may increase your chance of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare
• 25:53
  Speaker 23: bowel disorder. Tell your doctor if you have a history
• 25:55
  Speaker 23: of intestinal blockage or scarring or thickening of your bowel wall,
• 25:57
  Speaker 23: if you are allergic to pork, or if you have gout,
• 25:59
  Speaker 23: kidney problems, or worsening of painful swollen joints. Call your
• 26:02
  Speaker 23: doctor if you have any unusual or severe gastrointestinal symptoms
• 26:05
  Speaker 23: or allergic reactions. Take Creon as directed by your doctor
• 26:07
  Speaker 23: and always with food. Do not chew capsules as this
• 26:10
  Speaker 23: may cause mouth irritation. Other side effects may include blood
• 26:12
  Speaker 23: sugar changes, gas, dizziness, sore throat, and cough. These are
• 26:15
  Speaker 23: not all the side effects of Creon. You can learn

• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Lopez initially claimed no involvement, but later admitted that he
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: may have provided them with the wristbands and beer. While
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Lopez was being arrested, officers found 45 milligrams of Adderall

• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and was charged with evading arrest. He had an outstanding
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: warrant for parole violation and remains jailed. He has not
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: yet been charged in connection with the robbery. The driver
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of the vehicle, 19-year-old Jeremy Reed Jr., traveled approximately 1,200
• 31:35

• 32:01

• 32:08
  Speaker 1: a grass and structure fire. Officials say the fire burned
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: approximately 37 acres, consuming one abandoned home and several small
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: shed-like structures on the property. Deanville, Blackjack, and Milano VFDs
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: provided mutual aid. One firefighter suffered unspecified injuries. The cause
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of the fire is under investigation. A 21-year-old was arrested
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: after speeding through Northgate. Police say Hector Pineda sped down
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Church Avenue just after 2.30 a.m. while the district was
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: still crowded. Officers say he was driving approximately 50 miles
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: an hour in a 25-mile-per-hour zone. He failed a field
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: sobriety test and two breathalyzer samples registered over 0.1. Pineda

• 32:58
  Speaker 1: approved an ultra-high voltage transmission project that has become controversial
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: because of its proposed route. It crosses very specific farmland
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
• 33:10
  Speaker 15: These paths cross land the state itself has flagged.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: The concern brought by ranch owner Tom Keller was not
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: addressed by the PUC. Another issue raised by the Texas
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Public Policy Foundation is that other parts of the power
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: lines go through areas under cartel control, giving our enemies
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: closer access to critical infrastructure. There are two active cases
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: of the New World Screw Worm.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: The insect lays its eggs in the living tissue of
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: cows and other animals, and they can cause serious damage.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: The New World Screw Worm was first detected in Texas
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: back in June, and both the state and federal governments
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: have major programs underway to stop it from spreading. While
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: it's usually found in cattle, the U.S. Department of Agriculture
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: is now reporting the first case in a horse in Texas.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: It was found in a horse in Presidio County on
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the border with Mexico. The Texas Animal Health Commission has
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: temporarily banned the movement of warm-blooded animals outside a designated
• 34:06

• 36:37
  Speaker 4: for the high, 108 on the feels like. It's going
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: to be a steamer. Weather is brought to you by
• 36:42

• 36:44
  Speaker 4: world's best roof. Give them a call at 268-ROOF or
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: go to unitedroofingpros.com. We love talking to people for all
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: sorts of things. And one of the things that we've
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: discussed is we have a pretty good bank of people
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: that regularly come in, like some really great groups. Obviously,
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: our elected officials, but also nonprofits. But we've wanted to
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: actively try to dive a little deeper into some of
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: these organizations in town that do amazing things that you mentioned.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: might not necessarily be aware of uh maybe you are
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: and if so great but if not uh this is
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: a great opportunity for you to uh maybe make a
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: first uh learn a little something acquaintance with a really
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: cool thing allison sullivan is in here good morning good
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: morning hello allison what who are you with.
• 37:28
  Speaker 27: Hello i am with different day foundation and it's a
• 37:31
  Speaker 27: pleasure to be here this morning thank you so much.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: So allison how long has different day been here Since 2021.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: So it's still a fairly recent addition to the nonprofit
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and charitable type world here.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Also some interesting years to show up. 2021 is a
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: weird year to start anything. But yeah, five years in town.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: And I know many people are probably wondering what you
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: guys do.
• 37:53
  Speaker 20: Absolutely.
• 37:53
  Speaker 27: So we provide trauma informed, really intense support with therapy
• 37:59
  Speaker 27: around vulnerable women, women who have been exploited in one
• 38:02
  Speaker 27: way or another, whether that's sex trafficking or domestic violence.
• 38:06
  Speaker 20: We have a campus here in town.
• 38:08
  Speaker 27: It's two-year residential, and we're just providing all kinds of
• 38:12
  Speaker 27: safety and connection. A lot of times when we think
• 38:14
  Speaker 27: about getting women out of situations like that, we might
• 38:17
  Speaker 27: think of safety and rescue, and certainly that's a part
• 38:20
  Speaker 27: of it. But it goes far beyond that as we
• 38:22
  Speaker 27: provide connection and stability.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I think the thing that peaked my ears was two
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: years residential. Yes. So you have somebody you intake into
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the program.
• 38:32
  Speaker 27: Correct.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: And at that point in time, you provide them two
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: years of housing?
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 38:37
  Speaker 20: And so, you know, it sounds simple.
• 38:38
  Speaker 27: With a door that locks, a bedroom that they can
• 38:41
  Speaker 27: call their own, a refrigerator with food in it, and
• 38:44
  Speaker 27: somebody expecting them to come home, those might sound like
• 38:47
  Speaker 27: very easy, ordinary things. And they are until you have
• 38:51
  Speaker 27: lived without them. And so it's really important to provide
• 38:53
  Speaker 27: that stability. That's the medicine. Safety is the medicine.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: So those are some of the basics that, again, you're
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: talking about things that most people take for granted. And
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: these could be transformational things to someone being in that situation.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: What are some of the other ways you try to
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: heal these women when they come to you?
• 39:09
  Speaker 27: Well, I don't know that this answers the question very directly,
• 39:12
  Speaker 27: but what you said, something that you might take for granted,
• 39:13
  Speaker 27: having a driver's license.
• 39:16
  Speaker 20: You know, that is something.
• 39:17
  Speaker 27: Rounding up the birth certificates, things like that. Just people
• 39:20
  Speaker 27: to help you. Call the people.
• 39:22
  Speaker 20: Send the emails.
• 39:23
  Speaker 27: Look at the websites to help you do the things
• 39:25
  Speaker 27: that you need to do. Because a driver's license, we
• 39:27
  Speaker 27: all know, isn't just a driver's license.
• 39:28
  Speaker 20: It's freedom.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: It's opportunity.
• 39:30
  Speaker 27: So there's a lot of neat things that come with support.
• 39:34
  Speaker 27: Support isn't just support. You know, the ways that the
• 39:37
  Speaker 27: ripple effects of being cared for and attended to are
• 39:40
  Speaker 27: really far reaching.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: I'm going to put this the wrong way because I'm
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: going to say it in terms of demand. And it
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: doesn't feel like the way to describe this. How much
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: demand have you guys seen for your services here?
• 39:54
  Speaker 22: Shocking.
• 39:55
  Speaker 20: It is shocking.
• 39:57
  Speaker 27: First of all, if we want to talk about sex
• 39:58
  Speaker 27: trafficking in general, Brazos Valley is uniquely placed between three
• 40:03
  Speaker 27: major cities.
• 40:05
  Speaker 20: So there's that. And then when we.
• 40:08
  Speaker 27: Talk about vulnerable women, if we have capacity to house
• 40:11
  Speaker 27: seven women at a time, it is.
• 40:14
  Speaker 20: Not a problem.
• 40:16
  Speaker 27: There are waiting lists, there are people in need everywhere
• 40:20
  Speaker 27: we turn. Our phone is constantly ringing.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: To be fair, giving seven women at one time the
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: opportunity to, again, take advantage of this, that is no
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: small task, and it is not a small ask in
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: terms of what I'm sure what funding costs and everything
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: else like that.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about, I know what it costs
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: to feed my family of four and house my family
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: of four, and you've got a group of seven there.
• 40:41
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: And you're providing two years' worth of that.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: That's right. And that's a big deal. obviously, uh, you know,
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: with more funding and everything, you know, bigger, you could
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: do more, but, but geez, it, it takes a lot.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: I like the, the leg, we're talking about some of
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: the legwork that's required to, to, to operate.
• 40:57
  Speaker 27: We have a very talented executive director, uh, Tara Hutton.
• 41:02
  Speaker 20: We have a really involved board. The board is.
• 41:04
  Speaker 27: Not just, you know, everyone's passionate. And so, um, it's
• 41:07
  Speaker 27: not just advisory. People are really getting their hands dirty.
• 41:10
  Speaker 20: Um, I'm a very eager volunteer. We're always looking for volunteers.
• 41:14
  Speaker 27: Um, I've always been drawn to grittier work and working
• 41:17
  Speaker 27: in places where there are maybe not easy answers.
• 41:20
  Speaker 20: It's a little complicated. I love an underdog.
• 41:23
  Speaker 27: So passionate people. We really want to build connections in
• 41:25
  Speaker 27: the community. We understand how important that is. Nobody wants
• 41:28
  Speaker 27: to go it alone. And then certainly, you know, funding
• 41:32
  Speaker 27: is important as well.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: So how do you do your fundraisers? Where are you
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: getting donations from and how do you sustain your programs?
• 41:38
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 41:39
  Speaker 27: So we have benefited from a golf tournament. We are
• 41:44
  Speaker 27: always looking for individual donors, whether that's one-time donations or
• 41:49
  Speaker 27: monthly givers. But we are really just getting our ball rolling.
• 41:54
  Speaker 27: We're excited to participate in Brazos Valley Gives coming up.
• 41:58
  Speaker 27: So this is such a giving community where we really
• 42:01
  Speaker 27: feel blessed by the engagement that we've received already.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Absolutely true. So if people, again, predicated with the fact
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: that for a lot of people it's their first time
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: hearing about any of this being something that we need
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: to support in our community, how can they help? Is
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: it just financial? Are you looking for partnerships? Are there
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: any other things that you need collaboration with to help
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: you guys do your job?
• 42:29
  Speaker 20: So glad you asked.
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: I figured.
• 42:33
  Speaker 20: We would love volunteers.
• 42:35
  Speaker 27: If you could follow us on Facebook, if you could
• 42:38
  Speaker 27: go to our website, reach out, info at differentday.org. So volunteers,
• 42:44
  Speaker 27: people to get involved. That's always exciting. Find us through
• 42:48
  Speaker 27: Brazos Valley Gives.
• 42:49
  Speaker 20: That would be wonderful, too.
• 42:51
  Speaker 27: We are also looking for second chance employers. We would
• 42:54
  Speaker 27: really love people in the community to understand that. That
• 42:58
  Speaker 27: we are dealing with a complicated situation and trying to
• 43:01
  Speaker 27: give women second chances.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: That was going to be my next question is that
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: that seems like one of the big things you would
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: want are people that would be willing to offer jobs.
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: To people work history.
• 43:13
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: The ability to get back on their feet.
• 43:15
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: And if they had an interest in that, they just
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: reach out to you guys directly, kind of work out something?
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: How do you do that?
• 43:22
  Speaker 20: And we've been trying to reach out as well. So, yes.
• 43:25
  Speaker 27: And, you know, if we could find each other, that
• 43:26
  Speaker 27: would be amazing.
• 43:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 43:28
  Speaker 28: Excellent.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: So in addition to the housing, I wanted to, I
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: think Tucker meant to ask this question earlier, and it
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: kind of slipped through. So it's not just the housing,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: and we've mentioned now the meaningful employment. So it's really
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: kind of a three-pronged attack is what I'm reading from
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: you guys. You get them in a safe spot.
• 43:46
  Speaker 20: That's right.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: You want to get them to a place where they
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: can have employment, prideful employment, and get the work experience.
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: You guys also offer therapy through this, correct?
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 43:57
  Speaker 27: It's actually, we partner with Roots in town. Jeremy Du
• 44:02
  Speaker 27: has been a wonderful supporter of our program and has
• 44:07
  Speaker 27: written out a program specifically for us, taking us through.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Incredible.
• 44:11
  Speaker 27: Yes, and just really working a program that provides trust
• 44:16
  Speaker 27: and responsibility and decision-making.
• 44:19
  Speaker 20: Independence, financial mentorship.
• 44:21
  Speaker 27: There are so many components that are going into what
• 44:23
  Speaker 27: they're receiving while they're with us those two years.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Well, God bless you and the fine work you do.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Absolutely amazing.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: Give the website one more time.
• 44:29
  Speaker 20: That's right. It is different day.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: Different day. Different day foundation.
• 44:33
  Speaker 20: That's right.
• 44:33

  Speaker 4: end of the week. Like as in a week from today,
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: maybe barely getting to 90 degrees. I don't know, but
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: we will.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Hope for, it's going to happen eventually. We just hope

  Speaker 4: up against the university of Kentucky this weekend. So it
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: is Kentucky. I'm not crazy, right? Don't answer that.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you, it's not mutually exclusive Tucker. You can,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: you can be both.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: Uh, did you see the thing about the, uh, Again,
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: I've never seen this except in TV shows and movies,
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: and that is a beach bully.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: A beach bully?
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean?
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Like somebody coming up and kicking sand or stealing your
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: beach ball?
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the totally yoked dude who just walks around.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: But skipped leg day.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Skipped leg day, but just exerts dominance over everyone at
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: the beach.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I've never experienced it.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: At the beach, it's always been a chill place, right?
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: I might have been to the right beaches. I don't know.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was some minor theft at a beach once.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: But this guy, there was a story, and I want
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: to say it was in, like, Salt Lake or Miami,
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: South Florida or something like that. They had a real-life
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: beach bully who was being a problem, and he picked
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: a fight with someone. Oh, was it San Francisco?
• 49:28
  Speaker 15: Oh.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a weird place to go to the beach.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little chilly.
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: Good Lord.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: What were you doing out in the... And there's sharks. Well,
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: not good at asking questions.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: So he's out there, and... He picks a fight with
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: a gentleman whose name's James. And you just– you almost
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: wish someone had had this on camera.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: They didn't.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: So the news people are covering this in post. But
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: James was a martial arts instructor and an ex-Marine.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: You don't know who you're messing with. He said, are
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: you calling me a dog? Because I had a dog,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: And I said, I don't know what you're talking about.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: And then he came in and tried to punch me.
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: So then I pinned him down to the ground until
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: the cops got here. I was in the United States
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: Marine Corps. So I always know that there's protocols to
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: all this. And you just have to let the professionals
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: deal with what they do. Imagine a nanny with their
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: kid here. Like, what is she going to do? He's
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: a built guy. And then he knew that he could
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: just probably intimidate 90% of the people today. He just
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: ran into the wrong person.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: You're not going to intimidate a devil dog. Come on.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Not a chance.
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: I love that you got the impression from that clip
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: that he could have gone a lot harder.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: He was restrained. He used some restraint.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: That was light work.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: More than I would have used in a similar situation.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: Kudos to him for just saying, okay, I could... I
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: could solve this problem with my hands, but I will
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: just do the bare minimum, keep his face in the
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: dirt until the actual cops show up.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: He may have realized where he was and that any
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: excessive force out there on the beaches of San Francisco
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: might be frowned upon.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: It might not end up going your way in the
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: court of TikTok.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: That's some serious situational awareness right there.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: You know what? I think that's amazing. Sad news, Judge
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: Judy is finally tapping out of publicly televised life after, geez,
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: what has it been, 40 years?
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Easy.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: Now, keep in mind, she was a legitimate judge before
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: the TV show. At one point was making a million
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: dollars an episode for a daytime TV show, and she
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: was doing a lot of eps. She was making a
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: lot of money. Uh, but she, uh, I believe they
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: canceled that show. And then she started doing Judy justice,
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: which is judge Judy, but with a name that you
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: don't have copyrighted.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Uh, let's face it. She was the show.
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: She was the show she's tapping out, but maybe not forever.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: She still does an adult animated show called Judy verse.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: Based on the viral AI baby Judge Judy videos?
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: I have not seen any of these.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: You need to Google these because they make no sense.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: It's basically babies... But Judge Judy's cloned AI voice on
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: top of it.
• 52:16
  Speaker 24: I am Judge Judy, and I am here because I
• 52:19
  Speaker 24: am sick and tired of your excuses.
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: I'm the boss, applesauce. Class is in session.
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: Pay attention.
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: I am here for one thing, absolute justice.
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: And so this audio is playing over a baby in
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: the Arctic holding a fish.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: That's a little strange.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: That's the type... As parents of teens and sub-teens know,
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: you just don't ask questions about YouTube. Don't ask questions.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: It's not supposed to make sense to us. The kids, though,
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: they just lose their mind over these sorts of things.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense in any universe. No logic behind it.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: But dang, that'll hold some eyes.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: They could be viewing things a lot less wholesome.
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: If anything, make it weirder. Because that distracts the kids
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: from other things. You just kind of spend time watching.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: It was like, why is this baby holding a fish?
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: And why is that the voice of Judge Judy coming
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: out of that baby?
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Have you seen who is replacing Judge Judy?
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: I have no idea.
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: I saw this this morning. It is her son. What?
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Her son.
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: Second generation Judy?
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: Who looks.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Just like Judge Judy.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: What do you mean just like? How old's her son?
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: He's got to be in his 50s.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: 50s or 60s.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: You clearly see the family resemblance. You hear the family resemblance.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Is he as charismatic as Judy?
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Judy says he's probably better than she ever was.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Judy, I appreciate you saying that because it's your baby boy,
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: but Get out.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Of here, lady. Look, the little clip I saw. Get
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: out of here. The little clip I saw.
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: There's only one, dude.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: It was just like looking at the old school.
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: But you're telling me that talent didn't skip a generation.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Apparently not.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: I'm going to find.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Go get you a clip here after the show in
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of minutes.
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: I will dive down that rabbit hole, and we will
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: see what there.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Is to see.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: How do you think Toby Keith feels about Oklahoma football? Felt.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Felt. I was about to say.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Feels.
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: Watches down on us from above.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: About Oklahoma football?
• 54:29
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: You're talking about University of Oklahoma?
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Probably a little perturbed.
• 54:34
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: In fact, there's a clip that's going viral because Dave Portnoy,
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Barstool sports scumbag.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Dave, but you are.
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: Has discussed how Toby Keith's least favorite person on the planet, apparently.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I met Toby Keith in the lobby of a hotel.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: And Toby Keith, for two hours.
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: Straight, he's like, I hate Lincoln Riley.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: And I told him, I go, Toby, I promise you
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: we will beat USC on your behalf. I've never seen
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: anybody hate a human more than Toby Keith hated Lincoln Riley.
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: Did I hear former Texags Casey Smith getting talked over
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: by a drunk Dave Portnoy in that clip?
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, that sort of thing does happen.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: That's got to be a hard office to navigate.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, got to be.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: You ever thought about that?
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I don't like hard opposite.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: Working for Barstool?
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I've worked for places that I didn't enjoy.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: I'm currently in a place I really enjoy. So.
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: It's got to be a trip, man. I got to.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: It went checked on her in recent years.
• 55:32
  Speaker 26: Just to see.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Make sure everything's all right. Twice, Casey.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: Miss you down here. 1620-945-WTAW. College Station. Brian C.
