Speaker 1: College Station police detective is on administrative leave pending the
0:11
Speaker 1: outcome of an internal affairs investigation following his arrest for
0:15
Speaker 1: domestic violence. 51-year-old Michael Kennedy was arrested by College Station
0:19
Speaker 1: police on Sunday after he pushed his wife during an
0:22
Speaker 1: argument causing her to hit her head on a wall.
0:24
Speaker 1: Kennedy was charged with family violence assault causing bodily injury.
0:28
Speaker 1: He is free on $ 10, 000 bond. A reminder that a
0:32
Speaker 1: Bryan polling location will not be available today. The air
0:36
Speaker 1: conditioning went out at the College Heights Assembly of God
0:38
Speaker 1: on Old College Road in Bryan, and election officials worry
0:41
Speaker 1: that portable air conditioners could overload circuits. The nearest polling
0:45
Speaker 1: location is Legends Event Center, just under two miles away.
0:49
Speaker 1: You can view a complete list of polling locations throughout
0:52
Speaker 1: the Brazos Valley and sample ballots at vote411. org. Election coverage

Speaker 1: starts tonight at 6 o'clock on WTAW, WTAW.com, and our
1:03
Speaker 1: social media. There will be a Buc-ee's pop-up on the
1:07
Speaker 1: A & M campus today. The pop-up runs from 930
1:10
Speaker 1: to 6 in Rudder Plaza and the Barnes & Noble
1:13
Speaker 1: campus bookstore inside the MSC. They're celebrating the release of
1:17
Speaker 1: the third co-branded Texas A & M Buc-ee's t-shirt, celebrating
1:20
Speaker 1: Texas A & M' s 150th. Buc-ee the Beaver is scheduled

Speaker 1: Arch Applin's speech today at Rudder Theater. Applin will speak
1:32
Speaker 1: beginning at 4 o'clock as part of the Texas A
1:35
Speaker 1: & M Sesquicentennial Speaker Series. The owners of Chubby's Public
1:39
Speaker 1: House announced on Facebook yesterday that they will close their
1:43
Speaker 1: doors in December. Their last day of business is scheduled
1:46
Speaker 1: for Saturday, December 19th. The pub and restaurant in Midtown
1:50
Speaker 1: Bryan opened in 2023. Many local food reviewers online have
1:54
Speaker 1: said it is one of the best hamburgers in town.
1:57
Speaker 1: Green energy may not be as good for the earth
2:00
Speaker 1: as some claim.
2:01
Speaker 2: A newly released study found that wind turbines and solar
2:04
Speaker 2: panels need much more land to get the same output
2:06
Speaker 2: as fossil fuels and that land gets trashed.
2:09
Speaker 3: Solar is seven to eight times more land and wind
2:13
Speaker 3: is 25 times more land per unit of energy.
2:15
Speaker 2: Brent Bennett with the group Life Powered says there are
2:17
Speaker 2: also huge piles of unwanted wind turbine parts which cannot
2:20
Speaker 2: be recycled. There has been a push in Austin to
2:22
Speaker 2: require green energy companies to have a cleanup fund and
2:25
Speaker 2: that's expected to come back up for debate this upcoming session.
2:29
Speaker 2: In San Antonio, Michael Board, TSN News.
2:32
Speaker 1: Congratulations to the A & M Consolidated High School Marching Band.
2:36

Speaker 1: the state finals competition. That will occur this afternoon at 2.15 p.m.

Speaker 1: Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
2:59
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, did you say the band is going to state?
3:02
Speaker 5: I did.
3:03
Speaker 6: That's right.
3:04
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, right now I'm having to plug into a different
3:06
Speaker 1: set of headphones. What's happening here?
3:07
Speaker 7: I don't know.
3:08
Speaker 1: That one works. There we go.
3:10
Speaker 5: Why haven't we fixed this?
3:11
Speaker 1: I don't know.
3:12
Speaker 5: It's been six months of doing this show. It's been
3:14
Speaker 5: mentioned every morning.
3:15
Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't fill out the form and triplicate.
3:18
Speaker 5: What is going on? Is it this little guy?
3:20
Speaker 1: I don't know because I've switched headphone jacks now, so
3:23
Speaker 1: I'm all good. Yeah, apparently I woke up because now
3:27
Speaker 1: I guess 1.30 is now my official wake-up time. Thanks,
3:32
Speaker 1: new time. Appreciate you. So I was looking through the
3:35
Speaker 1: old socials after finally giving up going back to sleep,
3:38
Speaker 1: and I saw some posts indicating that the mighty band
3:41
Speaker 1: from Tigerland... won the round last night they don't say
3:45
Speaker 1: won the round but they stack them up today in
3:47
Speaker 1: the order that they finished last night and they're in
3:49
Speaker 1: the first place they'll compete i'll take it 2 15
3:51
Speaker 1: this afternoon the alamo dome and san antonio this afternoon
3:54
Speaker 1: this afternoon right back to go right to it back
3:56
Speaker 1: to the well that's right heck yeah so uh we
4:00
Speaker 1: may have lots of things to celebrate on friday night
4:02
Speaker 1: it's historic they haven't been to state before so and
4:06
Speaker 1: and since i was I spent one semester in the
4:08
Speaker 1: Mighty Band from Tigerland, my freshman year.
4:11
Speaker 5: What did you play?
4:11
Speaker 1: I was a Barry sax player.
4:13
Speaker 5: You were a sax player?
4:15
Speaker 1: I was a saxophonist. Yeah, I played the Barry sax.
4:17
Speaker 1: I marched with that biggest saxophone you could find.
4:20
Speaker 5: How was your sax?
4:22
Speaker 1: It wasn't bad. Look, I'm not a great musician. I
4:26
Speaker 1: have a great ear.
4:26
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you have to be Satchmo, but like
4:30
Speaker 4: Clinton caliber sax?
4:33
Speaker 1: With a little practice, I could probably get to Clinton caliber.
4:36
Speaker 8: Dang!
4:37
Speaker 1: But no, look, my musical ear is more attuned to
4:40
Speaker 1: listening than it is to performing. It's the same reason
4:45
Speaker 1: I can't dance or sing. I don't have rhythm.
4:48
Speaker 5: Same. So you made it one semester.
4:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.
4:51
Speaker 5: And then said, nah.
4:51
Speaker 1: That was because my father said, no, son, you're not
4:54
Speaker 1: going to play football. I bought a saxophone two years ago,
4:58
Speaker 1: and you're going to play it. By God. Your dad
5:02
Speaker 1: forced you into the band.
5:04
Speaker 9: Yeah.
5:05
Speaker 5: Because you already owned a saxophone?
5:07
Speaker 1: That's right, because I'd been in band sixth, seventh, and
5:10
Speaker 1: eighth grade.
5:10
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know. I think it's a great experience.
5:16
Speaker 4: I always think that you should take as many opportunities
5:19
Speaker 4: as you can to get your hands in as many pies.
5:23
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
5:23
Speaker 5: It's a very.
5:25
Speaker 1: Greek sort of thing where you get sort of an
5:27
Speaker 1: education in a broad category. A renaissance man. A little football,
5:31
Speaker 1: a little band. Look, again, I'm not a musician. However,
5:35
Speaker 1: I can dissect music. I can listen to music. I
5:38
Speaker 1: can tell you about music. I'm just not a musician. Ah, man.
5:43
Speaker 5: Well, congrats to our friends in Arkansas.
5:45
Speaker 4: I look forward to seeing how that pans out.
5:47
Speaker 5: Who are they up against?
5:49
Speaker 1: The whole list. Let me see. I've got the whole list.
5:52
Speaker 1: Hit the list here. There's a couple that I knew.
5:56
Speaker 1: Let's see here. They will be followed by Burleson Centennial
6:00
Speaker 1: High School, Midlothian High School.
6:03
Speaker 5: That sounds like a tough one.
6:05
Speaker 1: Harlingen South High School. Is there stuff south of Harlingen?
6:09
Speaker 1: I did not know that.
6:10
Speaker 5: Well, the south of Harlingen.
6:12
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
6:12
Speaker 5: You're talking about literally.
6:15
Speaker 4: The last stop on the line.
6:18
Speaker 1: Frisco-Reedy, Richland High School, Frisco-Lone Star. Frisco got two in there. Hendrickson,
6:24
Speaker 1: Lebanon Trail, Roma High School, Friendswood High School, and Argyle.
6:28
Speaker 4: I feel like you got a chance against that lineup.
6:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
6:31
Speaker 4: I don't like that Harlingen being in there. I feel
6:33
Speaker 4: like Harlingen could come in there and steal that.
6:36
Speaker 10: I don't know.
6:37
Speaker 5: And Midlothian. Midlothian seems like a beast.
6:39
Speaker 1: The real question is, what do the betting odds... Good question, Will.
6:44
Speaker 1: I'm sure Tucker will be looking that up shortly.
6:47
Speaker 5: Give me two seconds.
6:48
Speaker 4: I can tell you all about it if you want
6:50
Speaker 4: to lay a little action.
6:53
Speaker 1: I'm guessing they'll probably be mentioned and honored at Friday
6:57
Speaker 1: night's Consol football game. I would hope so. My goodness.
7:00
Speaker 1: They're already honoring the football teams that competed in 89
7:04
Speaker 1: through 92.
7:05
Speaker 11: That run.
7:08
Speaker 1: Uh where they went to state three years in a
7:10
Speaker 1: row those are the uh the glory the glory years
7:12
Speaker 1: right uh however apparently my team of 1988 was left out.
7:18
Speaker 5: As i recall that was uh was there a reason for.
7:21
Speaker 1: That yeah our record was two seven and one and
7:24
Speaker 1: it was the best one in a long time but
7:26
Speaker 1: we laid the foundation i always say when you graduate
7:28
Speaker 1: a player like me your team gets better that's and
7:33
Speaker 1: that's That's what I helped out with.
7:35
Speaker 4: Weather today, yeah, here comes the cold front, guys. Not
7:39
Speaker 4: cold fronts-ish right now. If you go outside, it's very swamp-like,
7:44
Speaker 4: 74 degrees. But once that breeze is through, some showers,
7:48
Speaker 4: which what are they saying, like 730?
7:49
Speaker 1: Look, the dome is doing work right now.
7:52
Speaker 5: Son of a gun.
7:53
Speaker 1: I have watched this line of thundershowers since it was
7:56
Speaker 1: on the other side of I-35 this morning.
7:59
Speaker 5: Right.
7:59
Speaker 1: And as it is approaching Brazos County, literally... It is
8:03
Speaker 1: splitting apart. We have some drizzle in the area right now.
8:06
Speaker 5: Oh, well, that's just great.
8:10
Speaker 1: I mean, I could see lightning flashes in the sky
8:13
Speaker 1: this morning, and now I'm looking at.

8:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much.
8:33
Speaker 4: Because time change after Halloween, before an election, is a
8:37
Speaker 4: cruel joke, a cosmic joke.
8:40
Speaker 1: I'm very upset about it.
8:41
Speaker 5: But all that said, we're very glad you're here. It's
8:45

12:42
Speaker 5: The dome is.
12:43
Speaker 4: Energized and the force field shields are at 100 cap.
12:47
Speaker 4: And I could not hate that anymore.
12:50
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to do some sort of meteorological study on
12:55
Speaker 1: the Aggie dome.
12:55
Speaker 4: I've, I've insisted for years that it be treated seriously.
13:00
Speaker 4: And I always get the same response from everyone that
13:02
Speaker 4: works meteorology.
13:04
Speaker 1: Like, come on.
13:06
Speaker 21: Yeah.
13:07
Speaker 5: It's not real. That's not as like, yeah, but, But
13:10
Speaker 5: don't you want to find out for sure?
13:12
Speaker 1: If they figured out a way to blame it on
13:14
Speaker 1: climate change, the research would be endless.
13:16
Speaker 4: But, like, you could take all that data now and
13:19
Speaker 4: you can shove it into AI, can't you?
13:21
Speaker 6: Yeah.
13:21
Speaker 4: You can just smash all of the data into one
13:26
Speaker 4: of the engines and then it'll spit out, you know what?
13:29
Speaker 5: There might be something to that.
13:32
Speaker 1: I believe I've put that in the AI before, and
13:37
Speaker 1: the AI comes back with a standard pat answer.
13:39
Speaker 20: No, no, no.
13:40
Speaker 5: It's all the prompt.
13:42
Speaker 1: As Mike says, he has texted in, this is why
13:45
Speaker 1: we need to bring back Mythbusters.
13:48
Speaker 5: Oh, isn't that the truth?
13:48
Speaker 1: Love Mythbusters, but I don't think this is their jam.
13:51
Speaker 1: They're more of a physics thing.
13:53
Speaker 4: I mean, we've got... We've got some... We should probably
13:56
Speaker 4: just do it ourselves. We're media personalities. We have a
13:59
Speaker 4: radio show. We could do a documentary series on the
14:03
Speaker 4: Dome if we had the time and the energy.
14:05
Speaker 1: That's right.
14:05
Speaker 5: Perhaps that's where we need to take this thing.
14:08
Speaker 1: We'll put that in the vault of many great ideas
14:10
Speaker 1: that we have.
14:11
Speaker 4: All right, let's get started with reasons to celebrate for today.
14:17
Speaker 5: And, well, top of the list, it's Election Day.
14:22
Speaker 1: Yay!
14:23
Speaker 4: That's literally a day And, I mean, because it's mandated,
14:27
Speaker 4: you know, on Tuesday after the first Monday in November,
14:30
Speaker 4: Congress established a uniform presidential election date back in 1845.
14:36
Speaker 4: The congressional election schedule was standardized a little bit later.
14:38
Speaker 4: So now we all do it on this very lovely day.
14:42
Speaker 1: You know why it was placed on that?
14:44
Speaker 5: I don't actually.
14:45
Speaker 1: So actually, I've got some nuggets of knowledge on this.
14:49
Speaker 1: Hit me. So in 1845, it was set, right? It
14:52
Speaker 1: was convenient because the planting, growing, and harvesting seasons were
14:55
Speaker 1: essentially over.
14:56
Speaker 5: There you go.
14:56
Speaker 1: And winter weather had not made travel difficult yet. Typically,
15:00
Speaker 1: the first Monday or the first Tuesday in November, was
15:07
Speaker 1: typically reserved for court business.
15:09
Speaker 5: Yeah.
15:10
Speaker 1: And so they said, well, we'll take the second Tuesday.
15:12
Speaker 5: That makes sense. Again, you got to remember, it used
15:14
Speaker 5: to be.
15:14
Speaker 1: It included travel. People would have to travel long distances,
15:18
Speaker 1: typically overnight sometimes.
15:19
Speaker 4: You'd pack the wagon. You'd have to haul everything. And
15:21
Speaker 4: you'd do a lot of different things. Like, A, you'd
15:23
Speaker 4: handle your court business. B, you'd vote. C, you'd stock
15:27
Speaker 4: up on supplies for the winter.
15:29
Speaker 1: Yes, because Monday was also typically market day in the communities.
15:32
Speaker 5: Market day?
15:33
Speaker 20: See?
15:34
Speaker 4: Now it's just a day we all go to vote. Now,
15:38
Speaker 4: there is always the question, should it be a federal holiday?
15:42
Speaker 4: I don't hate that idea.
15:46
Speaker 1: We have federal holidays for things that I think are
15:48
Speaker 1: less significant.
15:49
Speaker 4: Now, I'll give you the upside, and if anyone can
15:52
Speaker 4: give me the downside, feel free. Again, 979-695-1620. Upside allows
15:58
Speaker 4: you to go and perform your civic duty of casting
16:01
Speaker 4: a ballot in an election.
16:03
Speaker 5: Upside.
16:04
Speaker 4: It commemorates how important elections are to this country, free
16:08
Speaker 4: and fair elections.
16:10
Speaker 1: That one I'll put a gold star on.
16:11
Speaker 5: I think that's a very important one.
16:13
Speaker 4: Upside, you just get to stay home the rest of
16:16
Speaker 4: the day and drink, preferably laying on the floor with
16:20
Speaker 4: all of the blinds closed until.
16:22
Speaker 5: It's all, all over.
16:25
Speaker 1: I don't see the negatives here.
16:27
Speaker 5: Stop me when I'm telling lies.
16:29
Speaker 4: We should make it a holiday. It should be a federal.
16:32
Speaker 4: I think all jokes aside, the biggest reason is the
16:34
Speaker 4: second one. I think so, too, because I think that
16:36
Speaker 4: gets lost. It certainly gets lost after a cycle like this.
16:41
Speaker 4: But the thing that makes America unique and notable in
16:45
Speaker 4: history is our reliance on free and fair trade. And,
16:51
Speaker 4: you know, just the general process of an election.
16:55
Speaker 1: The electoral process and the peaceful transition of power.
16:58
Speaker 5: All of these things.
17:00
Speaker 4: And if anything deserves a day where you can explain
17:03
Speaker 4: to the kids why everyone has a day off today, honestly,
17:07
Speaker 4: it's probably that.
17:10
Speaker 1: Give it some thoughts. I think your arguments hold water.
17:12
Speaker 4: Moving on to non-election business. Give someone a dollar today, day.
17:18
Speaker 5: The idea.
17:19
Speaker 4: It's to give someone a dollar just because you can.
17:22
Speaker 4: I feel like inflation kind of.
17:24
Speaker 1: Drank that one's milk. Yeah, I was just thinking to myself, so? Yeah.
17:28
Speaker 5: Might as well give somebody a nickel. Maybe I can
17:34
Speaker 5: go watch a movie.
17:35
Speaker 1: Two bits. I'll give you two bits.
17:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, no one really knows. But yeah, maybe up to
17:41
Speaker 5: a five.
17:41
Speaker 1: Somebody give somebody a 20. That's a big day.
17:43
Speaker 4: That is a big day. Now, on to a real holiday.
17:46
Speaker 4: That would be National Sandwich Day.
17:48
Speaker 1: That's a big day.
17:48
Speaker 5: Good night.
17:49
Speaker 1: You like a sandwich, do you?
17:51
Speaker 5: I love a sandwich.
17:53
Speaker 1: What's your favorite sandwich?
17:56
Speaker 5: Get out of here. Philly cheesesteak.
17:58
Speaker 1: Really?
17:59
Speaker 5: 100%. Specifically.
18:01
Speaker 4: Philly cheesesteak that no longer exists. Philly cheesesteak from Lenny's,
18:06
Speaker 4: which they used to have Lenny's here until it went
18:09
Speaker 4: the way of the Dodo. And that is by far
18:12
Speaker 4: the best cheesesteak.
18:14
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever had it. I like
18:15
Speaker 1: a cheesesteak. It's not my favorite sandwich. You can buy
18:17
Speaker 1: a large cheesesteak. Basically, there's like four cheesesteaks in one.
18:21
Speaker 1: So when I was like 17 or 18 years old,
18:22
Speaker 1: holy cow, that's a meal. You know, there are other
18:26
Speaker 1: good ones. Obviously, a million good ones.
18:28
Speaker 4: I would say the best one you can get that
18:30
Speaker 4: is in town currently is actually at Jersey Mike's.
18:33
Speaker 1: Really?
18:33
Speaker 5: But I will say this. That's the sandwich I can
18:36
Speaker 5: get access to.
18:37
Speaker 1: I have three, and they're not necessarily, you know, a
18:40
Speaker 1: branded sort of sandwich, right? So I think pretty much
18:44
Speaker 1: a Reuben. I like a Reuben. Anytime I can get
18:46
Speaker 1: a Reuben.
18:47
Speaker 5: God, a good Reuben. Have you ever been to Philadelphia?
18:50
Speaker 16: No.
18:51
Speaker 5: In your travels?
18:52
Speaker 22: No.
18:53
Speaker 4: When you get up to the East Coast, and I'm
18:56
Speaker 4: sure New York and all, New York has pretty good sandwiches.
18:58
Speaker 4: I was in Philly for one just random thing, and
19:00
Speaker 4: we were at that food market they have over there,
19:02
Speaker 4: which I should remember the name. It's a very large building.
19:04
Speaker 4: They've got all kind of just mom-and-pop places. Walk in,
19:07
Speaker 4: had a Reuben in my head. I saw sound. It
19:13
Speaker 4: was one of the most extraordinary sandwiches I've ever had.
19:15
Speaker 4: If it's done right.
19:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to get them at Katz's Deli in Austin.
19:19
Speaker 5: Katz's never closes.
19:20
Speaker 1: Never closes. So the Reuben... I also have to put
19:24
Speaker 1: up there the grilled peanut butter and jelly. The grilled
19:29
Speaker 1: peanut butter and jelly? If you've never had a grilled
19:31
Speaker 1: PB & J, Tucker.
19:33
Speaker 5: I'm intrigued.
19:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, just make it like a grilled cheese sandwich. Get
19:36
Speaker 1: yourself lots of napkins because the peanut butter develops a
19:41
Speaker 1: new texture and consistency. That's right. And it will be messy.
19:44
Speaker 23: Dang right.
19:45
Speaker 1: But man, is that good.
19:47
Speaker 5: I love it.
19:47
Speaker 1: And I guess the third one in that, well, I
19:51
Speaker 1: can't remember what my third one was.
19:53
Speaker 5: Well, you got some time to think it over. And
19:55
Speaker 5: by the way, if you guys have some, you want
19:58
Speaker 5: to chime in.
19:59
Speaker 1: Oh, the Muffalata. The Muffalata.
20:00
Speaker 5: The Muffalata!
20:02
Speaker 1: I mean, come on. And I've had them in New Orleans.
20:04
Speaker 1: I've had them from Reed Fields, which.
20:06
Speaker 5: The Reed Fields one holds up surprisingly well.
20:09
Speaker 1: Very well.
20:11
Speaker 5: It does hit a little bit different when it's.
20:12
Speaker 1: In the easy. It does.
20:14
Speaker 4: But, dude, that's a solid top three. What's your favorite sandwich, gang?
20:20
Speaker 5: 979-695-1620.
20:22
Speaker 4: Props if it's something I can actually purchase and eat
20:24
Speaker 4: today without a lot of travel, because I'm going to
20:28
Speaker 4: need a sandwich at some point pretty quick.
20:30
Speaker 12: Mike.
20:31
Speaker 1: Hullabaloo's.
20:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hullabaloo's. I believe the cheesesteak at Hullabaloo's is pretty well-read.
20:36
Speaker 4: And sausage and peppers.
20:37
Speaker 1: He's talking about the peanut butter and jelly French toast sandwich.
20:41
Speaker 1: The what? That's a little over the top for me.
20:44
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sweet enough with the jelly. I don't
20:46
Speaker 1: think I need the French toast on top of it.
20:49
Speaker 5: That kind of sounds like a banger.
20:51
Speaker 1: Grilled peanut butter and jelly. Trust me, a late-night snack
20:53
Speaker 1: at home.
20:54
Speaker 4: Several people have texted and French dipped. that the French
20:57
Speaker 4: dip is kind of their go-to. This person says, how
21:00
Speaker 4: have y'all not talked about a barbecue sandwich?
21:01
Speaker 1: Well, I don't qualify that.
21:04
Speaker 4: No, no, but I also don't do barbecue sandwiches.
21:06
Speaker 1: I will if it's just a quickie at a place
21:09
Speaker 1: that does not have great barbecue.
21:11
Speaker 4: I'll give you the one, because it's gotten so expensive.
21:13
Speaker 4: I got to shout out C & J for this.
21:15
Speaker 4: C & J has been doing kind of like a
21:16
Speaker 4: sandwich menu that I think is pretty great. It gives
21:19
Speaker 4: you a little bit of barbecue, but they jazz it up.
21:22
Speaker 1: I noticed that.
21:23
Speaker 4: Ten bucks, it's a monster sandwich, by the way. I
21:26
Speaker 4: don't know what the one is for this month, but
21:27
Speaker 4: last night it was like a hot brisket. And it
21:32
Speaker 4: took up an entire tray, number one. And a dang
21:34
Speaker 4: good sandwich.
21:35
Speaker 5: Ten bucks.
21:36
Speaker 1: Which side? I like it.
21:38
Speaker 4: I mean, again, can't hate. I'm taking up way too
21:41
Speaker 4: much time. Let's talk birthdays.
21:43
Speaker 1: Let's talk birthdays. Kendall Jenner is 31 years old today.
21:46
Speaker 1: Is she?
21:46
Speaker 23: Yeah.
21:47
Speaker 12: Really?
21:47
Speaker 1: Antonio Thomas is 40. Dr. Claire Brown on The Good Doctor.
21:51
Speaker 1: Dolph Lundgren is 69. Best known probably as Ivan Drago.
21:55
Speaker 12: Yep.
21:56
Speaker 24: Yep.
21:57
Speaker 1: Most people don't know he is an actual scientist.
22:00
Speaker 5: He's like an Ivy League scientist. He's a brilliant man.
22:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Phil Simms is 71 years old today. Ah, Phil. Adamant, 72. Adamant,
22:10
Speaker 1: I remember I have to bring up Adamant because I
22:12
Speaker 1: remember when NXS opened for Adamant here in College Station
22:17
Speaker 1: at G.
22:17
Speaker 5: Raleigh. How crazy is that?
22:19
Speaker 1: Kathy Kinney is 72. Mimi on the Drew Carey Show.
22:22
Speaker 1: Dennis Miller, 73.
22:24

Speaker 5: Dennis is great.
22:27
Speaker 1: Kate Capshaw, 73. Steven Spielberg's wife. You also know her as...
22:32
Speaker 1: Willie Scott in Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Doom.
22:34
Speaker 5: That's right.
22:35
Speaker 1: Daughter. I did not know this. Daughter Jessica plays Dr.
22:38
Speaker 1: Arizona Robbins on Grey's Anatomy.
22:41
Speaker 5: Of course she does. I bet that was a hard
22:42
Speaker 5: job for her to get.
22:43
Speaker 1: I did not know.
22:45
Speaker 5: I had no idea.
22:47
Speaker 1: And although I don't watch the Greys anymore. Yeah. When
22:50
Speaker 1: I did have to watch The Greys, I thought her
22:52
Speaker 1: performance was pretty good.
22:54
Speaker 4: I mean, I would be shocked if she didn't know
22:55
Speaker 4: how to act, again, considering the parents that she has.
22:58
Speaker 1: That's right. Roseanne Barr, 74 years old today.
23:01
Speaker 5: What's she doing now?
23:02
Speaker 1: I mean, honest question, what's she doing? I've seen her
23:05
Speaker 1: recently on things like the Kill Tony show. She's been
23:09
Speaker 1: doing some podcast work.
23:11
Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
23:11
Speaker 1: And the meme is floating around that compares her to
23:14
Speaker 1: Madonna currently and says, who would have thought back in 1990...
23:18
Speaker 1: that Roseanne Barr would be better looking than Madonna.
23:21
Speaker 11: Roseanne?
23:22
Speaker 5: Roseanne looks pretty good.
23:23
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some work there, but hey.
23:24
Speaker 5: No, there's so much. It's Roseanne.
23:26
Speaker 6: Yeah.
23:27
Speaker 5: It's all work.
23:27
Speaker 1: But it's quality work. I think she looks good. I
23:29
Speaker 1: think she looks good. That's dope.
23:30
Speaker 5: I'm glad to hear she's doing some Kill Tony, man.
23:31
Speaker 1: I need to check that out. Yeah, and she's funny again.
23:35
Speaker 1: I don't think she ever wasn't funny.
23:36
Speaker 4: No, she's a, she's a, she's, I mean, she'll never get,
23:40
Speaker 4: I don't think Roseanne will ever get the respect that
23:43
Speaker 4: she deserves, but I think that if you're making a
23:45
Speaker 4: top 25 of comedians.
23:48
Speaker 1: Period. Period.
23:49
Speaker 5: No qualifiers. She's pretty high.
23:52
Speaker 1: Pretty high on the list.
23:53
Speaker 5: I don't know where, but pretty dang high.
23:55
Speaker 1: Probably, you know, in the top 10 range of female comedians.
23:59
Speaker 5: I'd say, yeah, top five.
24:01
Speaker 1: Even female comedians. Speaking of beautiful people, Larry Holmes is
24:05
Speaker 1: 77 years old today. The heavyweight boxing champ from 78
24:08
Speaker 1: to 85. The beautiful people was sarcasm. Yes, it is.
24:11
Speaker 1: Shadow Stevens is 80 years old today. The Hollywood Squares announcer.
24:15
Speaker 25: Mm-hmm.
24:17
Speaker 1: You think Shadow is his real name? I don't think so.
24:19
Speaker 5: I doubt that strongly.
24:20
Speaker 1: I used to imitate him. Michael Dukakis, 93 years old today.
24:25
Speaker 1: Michael Dukakis is still... Lost the race for the presidency
24:28
Speaker 1: to George Bush the Elder in 1988. Will, he's still alive?
24:30
Speaker 5: Still alive.
24:32
Speaker 1: You can't get that picture out of your head of
24:34
Speaker 1: him riding around in a tank with a helmet on.
24:36
Speaker 5: You know, good for him, man.
24:37
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:38
Speaker 5: Wow.
24:39
Speaker 1: Wow, indeed. On to the Stiffs. The name will sound familiar.

Speaker 1: denies the firearm was displayed. Upon further search of the vehicle,
32:07
Speaker 1: officers uncovered a marijuana grinder and synthetic urine kit. Groeschel

38:23
Speaker 4: Good morning. Just reminding you that the Aggie Dome is real.
38:27
Speaker 4: That's what Frank says.
38:29
Speaker 5: But how real, Will?
38:31
Speaker 4: Because we're watching some rain move through the area and
38:33
Speaker 4: wondering if it's going to survive the effects of the Dome.
38:36
Speaker 4: This is our rain chance for today, by the way.
38:38
Speaker 4: Whenever you see that 90%, this is what we are
38:40
Speaker 4: talking about. So if we miss it on this, we
38:43
Speaker 4: ain't getting any. Now the question is, how's the dome
38:47
Speaker 4: holding up?
38:48
Speaker 1: It's still holding right now. However, there is a line
38:52
Speaker 1: of showers that is approaching the western edge of the county. Okay.
38:56
Speaker 1: It looks like it may hold together. However, it is
38:58
Speaker 1: diminished from where it was before. So I did. I did, Tucker.
39:04
Speaker 1: Ask the Gemini about the Aggie Dome.
39:05
Speaker 5: Did you?
39:06
Speaker 1: I did. And the science and theories behind the lore,
39:10
Speaker 1: the Gemini says it is not a literal force field,
39:13
Speaker 1: that there are several atmospheric and topographical factors that could explain.
39:17
Speaker 5: Okay.
39:18
Speaker 1: And one of these is the same theory that I have. Okay.
39:20
Speaker 1: The three theories are an urban heat island, a summer
39:23
Speaker 1: high pressure ridge actually there's four as perception and radar
39:28
Speaker 1: bias yeah and then this one river valley topography and
39:32
Speaker 1: local moisture gradients this is my theory i this is
39:37
Speaker 1: what i speculated all along.
39:38
Speaker 4: I've i've heard this for so many years i've just
39:42
Speaker 4: assumed that that is the one theory that because the
39:45
Speaker 4: river valley And river valleys create.
39:47
Speaker 1: In between the Navasota and the Brazos.
39:50
Speaker 5: Two rivers. It creates a... It just... It's a.
39:53
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, there is something different about that combination
39:58
Speaker 4: of water, land, and air makes it difficult for a
40:02
Speaker 4: storm to hold together.
40:03
Speaker 1: They say that... The Gemini says, differences in soil moisture,
40:07
Speaker 1: vegetation cover, ground elevation along these river basins can alter
40:12
Speaker 1: micro-scale surface winds, occasionally causing squall lines... To track along
40:17
Speaker 1: the river corridors rather than directly across the center of town.
40:20
Speaker 5: There you go. Pulls it right in.
40:21
Speaker 12: Yeah.
40:22
Speaker 5: And then around you along the Brazos or along the Navasota.
40:27
Speaker 1: I'm sure.
40:28
Speaker 5: Aggie Dome.
40:29
Speaker 1: That somebody can obtain a federal grant for this.
40:32
Speaker 5: This needs to be needs to be locked down.
40:35
Speaker 4: Uh we were also just well also today uh dropping
40:38
Speaker 4: down to the low 50s tonight windy but as soon
40:40

40:50
Speaker 4: from generac i'm out to schedule your appointment today also
40:54
Speaker 4: talking sandwiches if you guys.
40:56
Speaker 1: Are throwing in some good ones some very good it is.
40:59
Speaker 4: National sandwich day so what's your favorite sandwich Susan, Philly
41:02
Speaker 4: cheesesteak or the BLT from Yankees Tavern?
41:06
Speaker 1: I haven't been out to Yankees in so long.
41:09
Speaker 5: How long has it been? It's been years.
41:11
Speaker 4: It's been 15 years or more.
41:12
Speaker 1: And I used to go there when I worked at
41:14
Speaker 1: the Harley dealership.
41:15
Speaker 5: Oh, like every weekend?
41:17
Speaker 1: It's pretty common. Missed that burger out there. Need to
41:20
Speaker 1: go have some of that.
41:21
Speaker 5: I do remember the burger. Woody, have to agree on
41:23
Speaker 5: the Reuben, Will.
41:25
Speaker 4: He has the best sandwich. But he also says don't
41:27
Speaker 4: sleep on the turkey sandwich with stuffing and cranberry. The
41:30
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving sandwich. Never been my thing. The Thanksgiving sandwich doesn't
41:33
Speaker 4: make any sense outside of the holiday window, though.
41:37
Speaker 5: So that loses some points.
41:38
Speaker 1: I think you're correct.
41:39
Speaker 4: It's like the McRib, only not. Anyway, finally, Jan, the
41:44
Speaker 4: shrimp or roast beef po' boy from Mother's Inn, New Orleans.
41:49
Speaker 1: I've had some great. of great meals at Mother's. From
41:54
Speaker 1: what I've read here recently, Mother's may have slipped a
41:56
Speaker 1: little bit.
41:57
Speaker 5: That's big allegations.
41:59
Speaker 1: However, the roast beef, the debris sandwich at Acme Oyster
42:04
Speaker 1: House in New Orleans, oh, man. I didn't even think
42:08
Speaker 1: about putting that one. Now I've got a four-way tie
42:10
Speaker 1: for sandwiches.
42:11
Speaker 5: Do you remember A-Bear's?
42:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do I remember A-Bear's?
42:15
Speaker 14: Same.
42:15
Speaker 4: A-Bear's, I would argue, that still is the best Cajun
42:19
Speaker 4: food that we ever had.
42:20
Speaker 1: I think so.
42:21
Speaker 5: And their sandwich.
42:23
Speaker 1: That roast beef sandwich is so good. I had forgotten
42:26
Speaker 1: about A-Bears.
42:27
Speaker 5: Missed that. We're going to take a break. We'll be
42:29
Speaker 5: back in a bit.
42:29
Speaker 15: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
42:31
Speaker 15: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
42:34
Speaker 15: sponsor and friends at Producers.
42:36
Speaker 29: Ranchers, it's time to start thinking about your fall and
42:39
Speaker 29: winter pastures. Producer's Cooperative Agronomy Department can blend rye, oats,

Speaker 29: or any other small grains with fertilizer to ensure you
42:47

43:02
Speaker 29: Producer's Cooperative, everything agronomy since 1943.
43:07
Speaker 15: It's really funny how we have different perspectives on the
43:09
Speaker 15: very same plant. We call it Bodark, and there are
43:12
Speaker 15: those among us who kind of like the plants, kind
43:15
Speaker 15: of a pretty plant in the right place. But you
43:18
Speaker 15: talk to ranchers and farmers, and they have nothing good
43:21
Speaker 15: to say about it, kind of like the disparity between opinions.
43:24
Speaker 1: Of mesquite trees. We're going to talk about Bodark.
43:27
Speaker 15: Some of those unusual names that it has, and a
43:29
Speaker 15: whole lot more right after this important message. Do you

44:37
Speaker 15: the world, you're going to call this plant horse apple,
44:39
Speaker 15: hedge apple, maybe just hedge. You'll hear it called osage orange,
44:44
Speaker 15: and somewhere along the line, we Texans started speaking French.
44:48
Speaker 15: We called it bodark, wood of the bow. Now, Osage
44:51
Speaker 15: Indians made bows from its wood, and that pretty well
44:53
Speaker 15: explains all of its names. It's a venerable old goat,
44:57
Speaker 15: this tree that grows along riverbanks and rocky slopes and
45:00
Speaker 15: hillside meadows. Most commonly, you'll see it growing in old
45:04
Speaker 15: fence rows, sometimes planted on purpose, perhaps the origin of
45:07
Speaker 15: the name hedge, and sometimes the result of chance seedlings.
45:12
Speaker 15: The one thing is for sure, you will see this
45:14
Speaker 15: tree the next time you drive around a good bit
45:17
Speaker 15: of Texas. It's scattered almost everywhere. Maybe not in far
45:20
Speaker 15: west Texas, but in most of the rest of the state.
45:23
Speaker 15: The other thing that's almost as certain, you will not
45:25
Speaker 15: see this tree the next time you stop by a
45:27
Speaker 15: local nursery. It doesn't transplant easily. They certainly don't obligate
45:31
Speaker 15: valuable growing space to it. Did you know that Bodark
45:35
Speaker 15: wood is extremely resistant to rotting? That's why it was
45:38
Speaker 15: used by our great-grandparents as leveling blocks for pier and
45:42
Speaker 15: beam homes. You could cut it off into short sections
45:45
Speaker 15: of stout trunk and use them to support an entire house.
45:48
Speaker 15: also its belongings and the family, held up safely off
45:51
Speaker 15: the cold ground. Those old blocks are still out there
45:54
Speaker 15: carrying their load 75 and 100 years later. By the
45:58
Speaker 15: same token, Bodark was also used by early farmers for
46:01
Speaker 15: fence posts. Again, it wouldn't rot. The next time you
46:05
Speaker 15: see a gnarly antique rural fence, those crooked old posts
46:08
Speaker 15: are probably Bodark. If they're straight, they're probably red cedar.
46:13
Speaker 15: Bodark wood, as in the timber of the tree, is
46:15
Speaker 15: bright yellow. It browns, oxidizes as it ages. And that's
46:19
Speaker 15: why the old blocks and posts will have chocolate-colored and
46:22
Speaker 15: highly fissured surfaces. But when you cut into their centers,
46:25
Speaker 15: they'll still be rich golden yellow. The wood is hard,
46:29
Speaker 15: so hard that arborists will cringe and chainsaws will dull.
46:32
Speaker 15: So hard that stump grinders will groan. But that's all
46:35
Speaker 15: part of the notoriety of Bodark. Bodark wood is filled
46:38
Speaker 15: with oils that spark when ignited. It's exciting outdoors in campfires,
46:43
Speaker 15: not so good in the living room. So there are
46:45
Speaker 15: some wonderful old Bodark trees out there, historic markers in Texas.
46:49
Speaker 15: But did you know that there also are thornless and
46:51
Speaker 15: fruitless Bodarks available to us? Well, that's a little more
46:55
Speaker 15: on a wonderful tree. I'm Neal Sperry, true focus of

Speaker 14: It's abusive.
48:42
Speaker 19: He didn't just say it. He has voted for it
48:45
Speaker 19: to be classified as abuse. And that means they can

48:51
Speaker 8: There's only one person who can determine a child's gender identity,
48:54

Speaker 24: Hello, I'm Paul Thomason, and I'm running to be your
51:04
Speaker 24: state senator. Why am I doing that?
51:07
Speaker 1: Well, part of it is money.
51:08
Speaker 24: I am tired of paying too much at the pump.
51:10
Speaker 24: I'm tired of paying too much in the grocery store,
51:12
Speaker 24: paying higher electricity costs. With our health care and every
51:15
Speaker 24: other way we can say it, prices are going up
51:17
Speaker 24: and nothing is being done about it. One thing I
51:20
Speaker 24: rail against is billionaire governance out of Austin, and the
51:23
Speaker 24: people we have elected are listening to the billionaires, not
51:25
Speaker 24: to people like you and me. It's time for change.

51:53
Speaker 1: We did have a text come in from Fred about
51:54
Speaker 1: an accident at the overpass of William J. Bryan. That's
51:58
Speaker 1: all the information he sent in. So I don't know
51:59
Speaker 1: if it's on six. I don't know if it's northbound
52:01
Speaker 1: or southbound. So if anybody can let us know. And
52:03
Speaker 1: that one is not showing up on the old Google
52:05
Speaker 1: Maps accidents yet.
52:07
Speaker 4: Also, Eric, can't believe we missed mentioning the Binnegan's Monte Cristo.
52:11
Speaker 1: That would have been number one on my wife's list.
52:14
Speaker 1: Number one on our wedding night. On our wedding night,
52:17
Speaker 1: she had a Monte Cristo from Binnegan's.
52:19
Speaker 5: You had to stop at the Binnegan's.
52:21
Speaker 1: Yes.
52:24
Speaker 5: Let's talk. Let's talk about the little soiree you went to.
52:29
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, the opening of the brand-new volunteer fire department
52:32
Speaker 1: station down there.
52:33
Speaker 5: This looked like it was a super cool time.
52:35
Speaker 1: First of all, it's a beautiful station. It started out
52:38
Speaker 1: as an existing building that was unfinished and had been
52:40
Speaker 1: sitting for years. And then they took it over. They
52:43
Speaker 1: expanded it to include the offices for the emergency services district.
52:48
Speaker 1: It is very well set up. It was done economically,
52:52
Speaker 1: and it is just a great thing. So last night
52:55
Speaker 1: they had their open house. It is my neighborhood fire department.
52:58
Speaker 1: And as I always say, you go meet the people
53:01
Speaker 1: that are there to help you.
53:02
Speaker 5: I think it's wonderful.
