  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. Kristen
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Distributing will be expanding their operations in North Bryan at
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Texas Triangle Park. The City of Bryan Brassus County Economic
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Development Foundation, a public partnership between the City of Bryan
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and Brassus County, sold 56.9 acres of land to Kristen Distributing.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They plan to build a 200,000 square foot distribution facility
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: next to their current facility. As part of the property
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: sale agreement, Kristen Distributing agrees to begin construction of their
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: expansion project within 24 months. If construction is not started
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: before that deadline, the BBCEDF has the right to repurchase
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the land. Kristen was founded in 1930 and headquartered in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Bryan since 1998. They have grown into a leading beverage
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: distributor across Central Texas. They serve more than 2,100 retailers
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: across Bryan and Temple, moving 3.5 million cases annually. They
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: supply national brands like Red Bull, Molson Coors, and Heineken,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and of course, their boots line of craft sodas. A
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: woman was arrested Monday night after leaving an infant alone
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in a parking lot after dark. Bryan Police responded to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a welfare concern at the Walmart at the 2200 block
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of Briarcrest Drive around 9.30 p.m. A caller said while
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the car was running, the baby was alone and crying.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: 44-year-old Tasha Martin O'Brien had made it back to the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: vehicle and was trying to leave when officers arrived. Martin
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: said the nine-month-old boy was her godson. He was sitting
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in a child safety seat, but he was not restrained
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: in the seat, nor was the seat secured to the vehicle.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Martin says she was gone for less than five minutes,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but dispatch records dispute that. The child's parents came to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the scene to pick up the baby. Martin was arrested
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for abandonment of a child with intent to return. She
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was booked into the Brazos County Jail and has been
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: released on $ 10, 000 bond. President Trump wants to help the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: American cattle industry by restoring mandatory country of origin labeling
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: for beef. Experts say the public supports it, but it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. Couldn't we do the consumer research? That's where
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we fall out.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: We like the idea, but nobody wants to.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Pay more for it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: David Anderson at Texas A & M says that mandatory
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: country of origin labeling is something that's been debated for decades.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: It was tried at the state legislature last session, but
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the bill never got a hearing. It's been five and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a half years since winter storm Yuri plunged Texas into darkness,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and some are still afraid it's going to happen again.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Tom Overby at the Smart Grid Center says a lot
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of changes have happened since then.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: We've added a lot of new generations, and we've also
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: added a lot of storage since then, so I think
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: we're in pretty good shape.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: A new poll sponsored by the Texas Public Policy Foundation
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: asked if people think the grid could reliably provide power
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: during winter. A whopping 57% said no. The latest check
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: on the Ross wildfire is promising. The fire hasn't consumed
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: any land in addition to the approximately 90,000 acres it
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: reached last week. The containment is now at 65%. The
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: fire started on August 28th. It has destroyed 167 structures
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and damaged 95 others. 453 structures have been saved and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: no lives have been lost. Crews have deployed nearly a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: half million gallons of retardant and have put down 2.5
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: million gallons of water. More news ahead at 7.30 or
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: anytime at WTAW.com. I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.

  Speaker 4: Hello, Brazos Valley.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: This is Brandon Eisman with Dean & Draper Insurance. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: don't know about you, but it seems to me that
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: inflation has really taken a bite out of our lives
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: over the last couple of years. It feels like everything
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: has increased, from groceries to vehicles and from property.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Taxes to, yes, insurance.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: And speaking of insurance, the cost of home and auto
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: insurance has risen more in the last two years than
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: I've witnessed in my career, and it's absolutely impacting our budgets.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: It can be very frustrating. At Dean & Draper Insurance,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: we can't promise to solve the inflation problem, But we
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: can shop several high-quality insurance companies to provide you with

  Speaker 6: Johnson, what was that out there? You ran right past
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: the ball.
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: I swear, coach, I had it in my sights. It
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: just vanished. And what about you? Morgan, you threw the
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: ball to the other team. What's going on, son?
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: I don't know, coach. It's like I can't see the
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: field clearly anymore. Everything's a blur. All right.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Okay.

  Speaker 6: Team, huddle up.

• 6:23
  Speaker 6: in because, yeah, it's Thursday. And we love hearing from
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: you guys. Did want to talk about a few things
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: this morning. The big one I wanted to get to
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: was something you sent me, which I've always thought was
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: an interesting question. If you had to survive the apocalypse,
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: where exactly would you do it? Like, if you had
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: to pick. I mean, you get to pick anywhere in
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: the world. Where do you think the best place to
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: survive would be?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Well, where all your stuff is, if you're in my case.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But if you're just looking for perhaps what country might
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: be the best place to ride out the apocalypse, there's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a study out there published in Global Challenges. Researchers there
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: looked at how countries would handle major threats, pandemics, super volcanoes,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: nuclear war, AI threats, asteroid impacts, all the things that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you can dream up with. So they came up with
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this list. Number one on the list, I'll tell you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: right now, is Australia, and I completely disagree.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Okay, what else do we got on? Because Australia is
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: what they're... That's their creme de la creme.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Their creme de la creme.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Is the Aussies.
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Number two on the list, New Zealand.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: I've always thought that New Zealand was the answer to this.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: And the reason I say is because whenever billionaires... Follow
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: the rich people.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: The rich people all go to New Zealand to buy
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: their land for their underground bunkers or whatever. It's usually
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: New Zealand. I think Hawaii is also very high on
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: the list.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Hawaii would not be high on my list.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: New Zealand would be at the top of my list.
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: A couple of reasons. First of all, you mentioned it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So I've got a cousin who they're filthy rich. I mean,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: stupid rich.
• 8:20
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: A few years ago, they won the Quarter Horse Futurity Championship.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Beat a Walton rich. Oh, God. Wow.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: That's money.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So a couple of three decades ago, Bobby bought
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: himself a place in New Zealand. And he operates it
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: as like a hunting place, right? You go out there,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you hunt some red stags, some other stuff.
• 8:43
  Speaker 14: Sure, sure.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: So I asked him, I said, Bobby, why'd you choose
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: New Zealand? He said, because that's where you want to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: ride it out. Because anything bad happens, nobody's messing with
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: New Zealand. Now, the detractors will say, and it's the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: same for Hawaii, that in New Zealand and Hawaii, you've
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: got the chance of volcanic activity.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You know, those are things that are out of your hands.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: If a volcano gets you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's an asteroid.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: Landing on you, man. Again, I'll take advice from people
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: who can actually do something about.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: This and all that seem to agree. That it's New Zealand.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Why would Australia? Is it just because the lack of volcanoes?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Well, they say that it's isolated. Yeah. And I think
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that was probably the differentiator between Australia and New Zealand.
• 9:30
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: However, in Australia, you've got to worry about everything trying
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to kill you.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: That's the thing. You're not only fighting man.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I watched Crocodile Dundee.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: You're fighting all of the deadliest creatures in the world
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: are now your problem.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: That didn't happen in New Zealand, necessarily.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: No, not necessarily. Not to the extent that it happens
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in Australia. Let's say I can't afford New Zealand. What
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: are my other options here? The only bargain on here,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: because the others on the list are Japan. and Switzerland. Switzerland, maybe.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Wait, wait. Why would I do Japan?
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Japan seems to catch an awful lot of natural disasters.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: They catch a ton of them.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: Like, directly.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly, they.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: They got to import a lot of things in Japan.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Can't really grow anything. You're not lasting long.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Last on this list in the top five-ish, Argentina.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Argentina.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Taking these contenders, I would put New Zealand at number one.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Argentina at number two.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: What am I missing about Argentina?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, you can grow a lot of
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: things there, a lot of biodiversity. Okay.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: People are kind of used to living on the edge.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Climate's pretty nice. Climate's pretty good. Okay. I don't think
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that you would have. Argentina, chances are good, would not
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: be involved if it was some major political global issue.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: No one's going to look for Argentina. No one's coming
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: for them.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Nobody's tossing a nuke at the Argentinians.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: That's not why we don't do very well on this.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Everyone assumes they're just going to shoot everything at us.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: And then we're hosed.
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: And so you want somewhere that's going to be basically
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: like that dude at the party that no one even
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: notices there.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Just kind of slink their way out of the.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: the, the, the problematic situation.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Chances are good. Other options presented by our wonderful listeners. Oh, go.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Cynthia texts in West Texas. I've put it high on
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the list. If, if you have a water source and Cynthia,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I think you and I have probably read some of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the doomsday fiction, the same books I'm betting. Cause there's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: one that's featured out there.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: So I'm going to guess. So we, Far west, right?
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Big Bend west, like all the way out west?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, more Cap Rock area, I'm guessing. But
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: anywhere out there, there's tons of opportunity. Oh, look at this.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Kelly says there are no predators in New Zealand. There's
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: no natural predators.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: That bumps it up on my list.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Other than man.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Plus, there's a ton of livestock. There's hobbits.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: No?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they're real, Tucker. Martha texts in,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I thought I heard New Zealand won't just take anyone.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: They're picky. Yes, now they are.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Ha ha ha!
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: But again, I refer back to you to the fact
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that my cousin, they sold their New Mexico ranch to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: their neighbor, Ted Turner. Oh, God. Yeah. They'll take him
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in New Zealand.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, money talks.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Money talks.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Also, I mean, I feel like Will could market himself
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: pretty effectively.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Nah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He'd be fine.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'd be fine.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not going anywhere because the transportation's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the issue, right?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: How am I suddenly, I don't have a private jet
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: fueled up.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: I also like how the thing is, new zealand might
• 12:34

• 12:37

• 15:36
  Speaker 6: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. We're the Infomaniacs.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: 979-695-1620.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: We're talking about where you'd survive the apocalypse because New
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Zealand ranks very high.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: On the list. Will has.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Will has, like, insane wealth, apparently, somewhere in the family.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not close enough.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: They've got their New Zealand ranch already there. And he
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: specifically told Will, it's in case the world ends.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: Which is, in fact, why most people buy their land
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: in New Zealand. There's not really any. I mean, it's beautiful,
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: I'm sure. Some of you guys have some weird, weird ones.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: That I wasn't aware of. Really? What are you calling weird?
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: Switzerland, from Luke.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: You really want to be in Switzerland. Notoriously neutral country.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: No, that's a plus. That's a big plus. If I'm
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: going to be surviving the end of the world, I'm
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: going to have to want to survive the end of
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: the world. And that is going to mean my climate
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: conditions are going to be limited. I am not freezing
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: at the end.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Of the world. So you're not a cold weather person.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: I'm not doing it. I'm not staring out on ice
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: and snow for half the year if I'm the only
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: humans left.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: On the planet. Oh, I could tolerate that better than
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I could the heat without air conditioning. Remember, all your
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: power's gone.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's right. AC is a thing of the past.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: That's right. You've got to think about these things, Tucker. Switzerland,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: not bad at all.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Frank, I'm headed to Bracketville. No one can find that place,
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: even with one of them Rand McNally paper maps, he says.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a lot of post-apocalyptic fiction that takes place
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: with people holding up out in West Texas.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: He says the only downside would be eating Jackrabbit for
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: every meal.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with a little Jackrabbit.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I don't think there's anything wrong. Yeah, that's not a
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: bad way to spend the end of the world.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Currently, I look at all the rabbits on my property
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: right now, and I'm thinking to myself, that... That is
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a future food source.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: That'll make a fine stew.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It will.
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Frank, crack it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I've given up. I've given up when it comes to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: trying to plan for long-term survival after the apocalypse.
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Literally, my goal is now I just want to keep
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: me and my family as comfortable as we can for
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: as long as possible. Until the end. I have no pretense.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: that I could Rambo it out for the rest of the,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know, the existence. I'm not going to happen.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean, how long do you think
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: you'd last?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Uh, depending, depending on the disaster.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I would put my over, over under it. Uh, six months,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: six months.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Six months. I think it's pretty good.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: I know some people, some people will be like, Oh no,
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: I don't, you know, I I'm ready. I can do it.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: I'd be able to start again and build society.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: No, you wouldn't. No chances are good.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: Six months is great. six minutes for me, I'm going
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: to do something stupid in the first day. I already
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: know it. Like, it's just the odds of me being
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: able to string together six months of no critical mistakes
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: in my life.
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: Oh, no.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Almost zero. Yeah, you've got to have some forethought to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: even consider more than a, seriously, more than six weeks.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: But the thing is that if you're, the end times, obviously,
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: heavily favor people that know how to do things. Real things.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: That's your thing.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: No, that is not mine. I don't know how to
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: do anything.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: No, I'm saying that's the thing you need.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: That's the thing I need.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: But see, Tucker, your problem is you're looking at this
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: as an individual.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: What you need to do is build a post-apocalyptic team.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Oh, you want your communal... Yeah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Because you've got to have people with different skills, different
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: skill sets. You're going to need one of those, you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: MacGyver guys.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You're going to need some sort of medical, right?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: You're going to need some people that have got some engineering.
• 19:25
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to be able to build things with their hands
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and tools. And some military background is a good one, too.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: To be able to kill someone if they start creeping
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: up on your land.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: And maybe most importantly, an agricultural background.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: You need someone who can grow things.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Somebody who knows some herbal healing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: So you're basically getting the Apocalypse A team. So I
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: don't have friends that do that stuff either. So I'm, again.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe you should rethink your friend list, Tucker.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Well, look, let me go back. I think most people
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: are going to be, again, which is probably for the best, again,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: helps people like you out. We're all just going to
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: freak out and die. There's this whole study about or
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: a story about, like, you know, without instructions, could you
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: do certain tasks?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: And, you know, it goes through very basic things. And
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: guess what? The answers aren't good. We'll start with changing
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: a tire. 39% of people said they definitely could 100%
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: do it on the spot.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Only less than 40%?
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Less than 40% said, yeah, no problem. If there's a
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: flat tire, I can pop out of my car. I
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: can knock this out and be on my way. The
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: other 60% were variations of not a chance. I'm fortunately
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: in the 40%, but barely on that one, just because
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: I've done it before. Sewing a buttons. 60% of people
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: said they could definitely do it on the spot, which
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: honestly seems mad high.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 20:45
  Speaker 15: Mad high.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Summer camp I went to as a kid, one of
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the things they made you learn how to do was
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: sew on a button. Smart, yeah. I was probably nine
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: years old, I could sew on a button. Now, I
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: can still do it, and I've done it on occasion.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: It may not be the prettiest of work.
• 21:02
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: But that button's never coming off again.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Cooking white rice. Just making a pot of rice.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Let's put it in my rice cooker and hit a button.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: See, I think that's why it's 73%. It's just, you know, again, simple.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't like cooking rice because I always end up,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, it should not be this much
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: sticking rice on the bottom of the pan. But that's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: just me.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: And finally, changing a diaper. Could you change a diaper?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Can I change a diaper?
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: I know you have two daughters. You obviously could change
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: a diaper. But for the rest of people. Could they
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: change a diaper without any instructions? Like a baby's diaper
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: or their own? Baby's diaper.
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I just had to clarify.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: If it's your own, I'll give you some points. Could you?
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: I find this to be a little dubious. 67% of
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: people said they could easily do it on the spot.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: I find that to be very, very high.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe on a doll. Right? Because there's variables that occur
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: when you have a live squirming child.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: That's what I mean. I think I would need evidence.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: I need you to prove your claim that you can
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: change a diaper.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Have a contest. Well, yeah. Kind of like those lumberjacks
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: when they're sawing through the logs. Oh, absolutely. Just lay
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: out a baby on the table.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Have a lumberjack come change the diaper.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Knock it out.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: You say you can do it. I want to see evidence.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: And yes, the doll doesn't count.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Got to be real.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: The kid's moving.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: There's no animatronics that can recreate that sort of chaos.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: 5% of people were honest on that one. Said, yeah,
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: probably not. The 20% that said probably is the strangest
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: to me.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's just a confidence thing.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: It's just being humble. Do or do not. Maybe.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, diapers. Diapers have come a
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: long way.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Diapers have. Because on one hand, that's what gives you
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: false confidence, Will. Like, yeah, I'll just take it off
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: and put a new one on.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Well, they've gotten pretty easy these days. Not like the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: car seats. Car seats are out of control.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Eric, not only could I find Bracketville, but in fact,
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: that's where John Wayne's Alamo movie was filmed.
• 23:10
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: And also where the standing scale Alamo is still left over.
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: It is.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Right. So you could have your own last stand right
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: there in the replica of the Alamo. You know what?
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: That would buy you a few weeks.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: I like it.

  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Weather today. That's all I had. Just weather.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: There will be weather.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: There's going to be weather. Might be rain, possibly in
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: the neighborhood, a third percent chance.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to guess that there will be some heat
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and humidity.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: Yes. Heat, humidity and sun and a lot of it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: But similar to yesterday, a pop up might happen down
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: to the 70s tonight and back up to the 90s tomorrow.

  Speaker 13: On this Thursday, I am thinking about my upcoming book,
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: Confronting America. It'll be out September 15th. Now, I recently
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: sent some friends advanced copies, three, I would say, traditional
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: guys and three liberal men.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: The book is.
• 26:04
  Speaker 13: Not ideological, but I wanted to get feedback from the
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: two different groups. The book is primarily eyewitness history of
• 26:14
  Speaker 13: what I have.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Seen in my life. Well, the more.
• 26:20
  Speaker 13: Conservative guys loved it. read it in one day, glowing reviews.
• 26:28
  Speaker 13: The progressive guys hated Confronting America. Now, the reason that
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: the lefties didn't like the book is because it is
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: heavy on individual behavior and personal responsibility. Only we, the
• 26:48
  Speaker 13: people in America, can fix our country. If you think
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: a political system is going to find solutions to big
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: problems like affordability, you're insane. That's not going to happen.
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: So how long has it been and we still don't
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: have a cogent immigration law? That kind of thing. But
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: the left does not want to harp on individual responsibility.
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: Books out September 15th. Back in a moment. Are you
• 27:25
  Speaker 13: trapped in a timeshare you don't use, want, or can't
• 27:28

  Speaker 1: in the backup and the SUV rolled. The driver, 59-year-old
• 29:48

• 29:51
  Speaker 1: The passenger was lifelighted in critical condition. The crash is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: under investigation. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: a factor. Reeder was a deacon at the Vandiver Street
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Church of Christ in Burnett. A woman was arrested Monday
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: night after she left her nine-month-old godson alone inside a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: running vehicle in a Walmart parking lot. Officers responded to
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: a welfare concern at the Walmart in the 2200 block
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: of Briarcrest Drive around 9.30 p.m. A caller said there
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: was an infant alone and crying inside a vehicle in
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the parking lot. 44-year-old Tasha Martin returned to the vehicle
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and was about to leave when officers arrived. The child
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: was in a safety seat, but he was not restrained
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: in the seat, nor was the seat secured to the vehicle.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Martin told police she had gone inside Walmart and been
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: in the store for less than five minutes. Dispatch records
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: showed that seven minutes had passed between the initial call
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: about finding the child and Martin's return to the vehicle.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Police contacted the child's parents who came to the scene
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and took custody of the infant. Martin was arrested for
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: abandonment of a child with intent to return. She was
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: booked into the Brazos County Jail and has been released
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: on $ 10, 000 bond. A woman was arrested for public intoxication
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Monday night after College Station police said she fled an
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: emergency room wearing a hospital gown. Officers were called to
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Baylor Scott & White Medical Center around 8.30 p.m. on Monday,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: September 7th, after hospital staff reported that 47-year-old Carrie Adel
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Sharp of Anacoco, Louisiana, had run out of the emergency room.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Sharp was located nearby, partially dressed in a hospital gown
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and wearing only one shoe. Staff told police that the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: woman had been brought in by Grimes County EMS for
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: suspected narcotics use. According to arrest records, staff found a
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: used syringe containing what they believe to be heroin inside
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: her bra. Officers gave Sharp an opportunity to return to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the ER voluntarily, but she refused. Police say she was
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: intoxicated in a public place to the point that she
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: could be a danger to herself. Sharp was arrested for
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: public intoxication and booked into the Brazos County Jail. While
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: her identification says she is from Louisiana, this is her
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: 17th booking into the jail. She has six previous arrests
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: for forgery of a financial instrument and theft. She was
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: released on $ 300 personal recognizance bond. A woman was jailed
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: after stealing more than $ 125 worth of merchandise from the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: West Bryan Walmart. Police were called to the Walmart at
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: 643 North Harvey Mitchell Parkway just before 2 o'clock on
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Tuesday after asset protection said a woman was concealing items
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: in her purse. 69-year-old Arlene Elizabeth Hamblett paid for items
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: in her shopping cart, but not those in her purse.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: including a Mickey Mouse pop socket, facial moisturizer, clothing, beef jerky,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and Halloween-themed earrings. Hamblett told officers she was willing to
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: go back and pay for the items. She was charged
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: with theft between $ 100 and $ 750 and is free on $ 3, 000 bond.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Dallas police not only have to deal with the influx
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: of attendees in town for the GOP's midterm convention, there's
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: going to be protesters. And DPD Chief Devin Palk says...
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: They're ready.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Managing and working with protests is something we do quite
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: frequently here in Dallas. You know, as a department, we
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: work to allow folks to be able to express their
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: First Amendment rights, but also be able to do it safely.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Palk says they have already been in contact with some
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: of the groups that are planning demonstrations during the convention. Meanwhile,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Dallas City Council members want to make sure they're reimbursed
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: for the cost of additional law enforcement. Estimates show that
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the city will have to pay about $ 2 million for security.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: City Councilwoman Kara Mendelson says there will be costs that
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: they will not recover, but they must ensure that everyone
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: is protected.
• 33:38
  Speaker 21: I hope we will be reimbursed, especially because the convention
• 33:41
  Speaker 21: is essentially a fundraiser. And the folks that lobbied to
• 33:46
  Speaker 21: get this in Dallas, you know, not all of them
• 33:49
  Speaker 21: live in Dallas. Some of them are in Highland Park
• 33:51
  Speaker 21: and University Park. And I hope they will make the
• 33:54
  Speaker 21: city whole. We deserve to be whole.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: The convention co-chair said this week that he didn't think
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the city would be on the hook for any of it.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Riding on the coattails of the Republican convention, Democrats like
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker have made their way down to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Texas to complain.
• 34:10
  Speaker 13: This bizarre Republican midterm convention here.
• 34:14
  Speaker 15: Can't paper over the fact that Republicans have done nothing
• 34:18
  Speaker 15: to earn your vote.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: While calling it an empty spectacle, Pritzker launched a new
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: political action committee. The Ready for the Fight Pack has

• 37:53
  Speaker 6: it's going to be huge. They've shared some of the
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: field stuff. It's going to be incredible to see.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: And a worthy opponent.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: It should be a good game. But, yeah, it's going
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: to be a special time out there. Tomorrow, obviously, September 11th,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: 25 years since September 11th. which is wild to think about.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: I saw a stat yesterday that I think we're about
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: five or six years away, something like that, from half
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: of Americans not being alive or old enough to remember 9-11.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: It's getting close.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, it's going to pass at some point from,
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't know how to put this. I
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: would say actionable history, but history that people.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: From nearly firsthand accounts to lore.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: So tomorrow, what we wanted to do kind of throughout
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: the day, I know they're going to do a lot
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: of it during the news in the afternoon, is recounting
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: stories of where you were on September 11, 2001. And
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: if you want to participate... All you need to do
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: is text your story in to us. And you can
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: do this early. Just try to give you some advanced writing.
• 39:02
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: And you can do a verbal text, a typing text,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: or you can record yourself saying such things and send
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: it to us via text message.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: I would highly recommend, if you do this, to do
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: a voice note. I'd like to hear this in y'all's
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: words and your voices and your tone, as opposed to just...
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: We'll read a bunch of them. I'm not going to
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: stop you. I know all of you have some amazing.
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: It's one of the... Before me, you had your parents
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: that absolutely remember where they were during JFK assassination. Grandparents
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: absolutely remember where they were during Pearl Harbor. And this
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: is for people our age. And people that were old
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: enough to remember 2001.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: Everyone.
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: I've never met someone of, I mean, I'd say even
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: above five or six years old, even kindergartners in some case,
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: like people who really shouldn't have been old enough to
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: remember it. I have yet to find someone that cannot
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: tell you exactly everything about that day in their life.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: So if you want to get some of those stories in,
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: you can send them at any time, like now, later today,
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: tomorrow morning, whatever. And again, Bonus points if you want
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: to do the voice memo because I.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Would really look forward to hearing some of that.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: I think that's important if you can do that. And
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: that text number again, 979-695-1620 is that number. I know
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: this is going to be a harsh transition, but I
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: want to talk about the MMA guys.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Trying to.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: So, okay, this started as an internet joke that I
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: saw this a few days ago where I assumed it
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: was some bro just talking noise. He was like, you
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: know what? I could beat a chimp in a fight.
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: I'm an MMA cage fighter, and I could take down
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: a chip bet. And apparently, some people have come together
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: and said, you want it? Let's do it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Let's see if your mouth can cash that check there, guy.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: They're going to put him in a octagon. I imagine
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: you have to cage the top of it, too.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Because it's a chip. You'd have to. Look, this isn't
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: going to happen.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: And they're going to pay him. He claims they're going
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: to pay him half a million dollars.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: They offered him half a million dollars. Cole Johnson. He
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: went on the ticky-tacky, you know, as people do. Maybe
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: had a couple of bevvies in him at the time.
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: Good Lord.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: And saying, hey, I can beat a chimp in a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: one-on-one fight. 100% chance.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Do you think that it is possible for this man
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: to defeat the chimp?
• 41:33
  Speaker 16: No.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, you have to define what
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: defeating a chimp is. Are we talking about the chimp
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: just doesn't want to fight anymore?
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: No.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, maybe.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Chimp's not going to tap out. Look.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: If the chimp wants you dead, you're going to be dead.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Chimp ain't got no rules.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Chimp has no rules.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Chimp's not going to pull punches.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: No.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Chimp is going to rip the flesh from your bones
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: with gnarly, hairy teeth.
• 42:00
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: And strength that you cannot imagine.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: No. But, I.
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: Mean, is it possible? Now, he also says, by the way,
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: that they will have tranquilizers.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: That's the only way that monkey's tapping out. The only way.
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: Basically, I guess to ensure that he doesn't die, which
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: that's cheating, man. I'm sorry. That's cheating. If you're going
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: to wrestle the chimp, you've got to take it all
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: the way. All that said, I hate to say it,
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: but would I watch? Would I buy the pay-per-view for
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: this event? Hell yes. Not even a second thought.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I'd buy it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: Now, I would accept. I'd show up to B-dubs.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. I would accept your invitation
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to come over to the house and watch it. Possibly.
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: What about the undercard? What are some other animals you'd
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: throw in there? I mean, there's not very many because
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: I feel bad for the animal.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Komodo dragon.
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: Could you take down a Komodo dragon?
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: No.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: See, but it's also, they're small. They're not small, but they're,
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: No, they can get big, dude.
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: I want gator. Oh, I want Gator. Again, gator in
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: a pool. I'm not saying you have to be submerged completely,
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: but it has to be water in this equation.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: You don't have much chance against a gator. Dry land,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: wet pool, doesn't matter. But if it was me, I
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: would not take an MMA fighter into that competition.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I dislike a lot of MMA fighters.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: If I was trying to rig the fight, I'd put
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: them up against somebody who plays water polo. Oh, because
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: under the water, I've had friends that say that's the
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: most brutal sport.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's good.
• 43:47
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: You need to, you need to find someone with specialized skills.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, not that, not that you have any chance
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: against the Gator.
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: Sam says, can we find the cocaine bear?
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Cocaine bears. Definitely. You're going to lose.
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: Luke says that you would watch until the chimp started
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: using its teeth, then it would just become unseemly.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want that.
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: Between the apocalypse and the chimp, I feel like you
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: are losing audience steadily today, says Jody. I'm sorry.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Jody, you're still here. It's a weird day.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the gators.
• 44:23
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Apparently some kids went into a no-swim zone in Florida yesterday.
• 44:27
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine what happened next? Oh, my word.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: No, please.
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: No.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Now, the thing is, everybody's going to be OK. The
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: gator was between nine and 12 feet long.
• 44:37
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: A child did have some puncture wounds and all of
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: the children. Spent some time on a sandbar.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: Did you say puncture wound?
• 44:44
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: That was it?
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's a, that's, that's. I call that a draw.
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: I call that a, that's absolutely a draw.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I think I might lean.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: Towards a win. Yeah. I, I, that is, that is
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: not bad. We're back right after this.
• 44:57
  Speaker 23: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 44:59
  Speaker 23: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs

• 45:38
  Speaker 23: Musical artist Sting is well known as the lead singer
• 45:41
  Speaker 23: of the rock band The Police and is also a
• 45:43
  Speaker 23: successful solo artist. His career has spanned more than four decades.
• 45:48
  Speaker 23: Along the way, he's amassed a fortune worth over $ 500 million.
• 45:53
  Speaker 23: That's quite an inheritance, except Sting isn't leaving his vast
• 45:56
  Speaker 23: wealth to any of his six children. His goal isn't
• 45:59
  Speaker 23: to punish them, but to enrich their lives. You see,
• 46:03
  Speaker 23: Sting grew up in Newcastle, England, when it was a
• 46:06
  Speaker 23: community of working-class shipbuilders. That upbringing not only taught Sting
• 46:10
  Speaker 23: the value of hard work, it motivated him to raise
• 46:13
  Speaker 23: his children with the same ethic. He says teaching your
• 46:16
  Speaker 23: children they don't have to work is the worst thing
• 46:19
  Speaker 23: you can do. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett agrees. He urges
• 46:23
  Speaker 23: parents to leave their children enough money that, quote, they
• 46:27
  Speaker 23: can do anything, but not so much they can do nothing.
• 46:30
  Speaker 23: Both Sting and Warren Buffett understand something about hard work
• 46:34
  Speaker 23: that many people miss. It holds value far beyond the
• 46:38
  Speaker 23: stuff that money can buy. Hard work is not only
• 46:40
  Speaker 23: the honorable way to provide for our families, it strengthens
• 46:44
  Speaker 23: our character and shapes us into something more than we
• 46:47
  Speaker 23: were before. True, some jobs are no fun, and work
• 46:51
  Speaker 23: can be frustrating and exhausting. Who doesn't experience that at times?
• 46:55
  Speaker 23: But work at its core is inherently good and enriches
• 46:58
  Speaker 23: our lives and our children's lives. To help your children thrive,

  Speaker 26: The 19th-ranked Aggie volleyball team upset the No. 4-ranked Stanford
• 49:08
  Speaker 26: last night.
• 49:10
  Speaker 14: Three and four on the season, but they have discovered
• 49:14
  Speaker 14: a lot here tonight against fourth-ranked Stanford.
• 49:17
  Speaker 16: Kurt.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: Texas A & M in four sets gives Stanford their
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: first loss of the season.
• 49:29
  Speaker 26: Downing the Cardinals in the Shiner's Children's Showdown at the
• 49:32
  Speaker 26: net for the ACC and SEC Challenge Week in a
• 49:35
  Speaker 26: 3-1 win. Head coach Jamie Morrison spoke about the team's performance.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: It feels amazing.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: And I've been talking all season, just we got the
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: pieces here and it's about putting together in the right way.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: And I said, when it clicks, it's going to be special.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: And I think you saw that tonight. There's a few
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: things we talked about a little bit, like the motto
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: of the night was just do your job. Like, hey,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: we don't need to do everything on the court. We
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: just need to do the things that are in front
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: of us right now. And then the second piece is
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: just the different pieces of our game have been firing
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: at different times all season. And I think even tonight,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: they're still going to grow, but they started to click
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: together at the same time where we were playing good
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: volleyball in all phases at the same time. And again,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: that's the result that you can see throughout the year.
• 50:11
  Speaker 26: Outside hitter Kendall Stowers also talked about the feeling of
• 50:14
  Speaker 26: the upset win against Stanford.
• 50:16
  Speaker 24: I mean, it's just the thing that literally Jamie said
• 50:18
  Speaker 24: it after the Indiana game. It was like we all
• 50:21
  Speaker 24: have to come in and we all have to do
• 50:22
  Speaker 24: our part, and that's exactly what we did.
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: We've been in practice.
• 50:26
  Speaker 24: Every single day this week working on that, and practice
• 50:28
  Speaker 24: this week has shown that. And so we've just been
• 50:30
  Speaker 24: talking about now that we've done it in practice, we
• 50:32
  Speaker 24: have to be able to show everybody else this. We
• 50:34
  Speaker 24: have to go do it on a stage, especially against
• 50:36
  Speaker 24: a number four-ranked team.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: That's huge.
• 50:38
  Speaker 24: Going from Indiana to that is a big jump, and
• 50:41
  Speaker 24: it's nothing that surprises us. It's everything that we've seen
• 50:43
  Speaker 24: in practice, and we were just able to actually display it.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: In the game.
• 50:45
  Speaker 26: Up next, the Aggies return home tomorrow night to close
• 50:48
  Speaker 26: out the week in a Friday night showdown against Wisconsin
• 50:51
  Speaker 26: at Reed Arena with first serve set for 7 o'clock.
• 50:55
  Speaker 20: The No.
• 50:55
  Speaker 26: 10 A & M football team is two days away
• 50:57
  Speaker 26: from hosting the Arizona State Sun Devils at Kyle Field.
• 51:01
  Speaker 26: Head coach Mike Elko recapped the Aggies' overall performance from
• 51:05
  Speaker 26: Week 1 and how the team looked on all sides
• 51:07
  Speaker 26: of the ball.
• 51:08
  Speaker 16: I thought the game went the way we talked about
• 51:10
  Speaker 16: it going. I thought defensively we were solid throughout the game.
• 51:13
  Speaker 16: I don't think there was much on tape that we
• 51:15
  Speaker 16: looked at and felt like they had and didn't execute.
• 51:19
  Speaker 16: I think we were able to play the game the
• 51:21
  Speaker 16: way we wanted to. Obviously, there will be greater challenges
• 51:23
  Speaker 16: down the road for us offensively you know certainly have
• 51:27
  Speaker 16: to figure out how to improve the lull that we
• 51:29
  Speaker 16: hit through the you know beginning of the middle middle
• 51:31
  Speaker 16: of the first quarter into the second quarter um you
• 51:33
  Speaker 16: know but again i think a lot of that was
• 51:35
  Speaker 16: self-inflicted and so it's going back to the drawing board
• 51:38
  Speaker 16: and kind of fixing it and i thought it was
• 51:39
  Speaker 16: a really good start for us on special teams i
• 51:41
  Speaker 16: think the way we kicked the way we punted and
• 51:44
  Speaker 16: then just overall how we played from an effort standpoint
• 51:46
  Speaker 16: on special teams units i was really really proud and
• 51:49
  Speaker 16: so Now we turn our attention. I told our guys this.
• 51:52
  Speaker 16: Now the season really gets going, and we're going to
• 51:55
  Speaker 16: welcome in a really, really talented Arizona State team this weekend.
• 51:59
  Speaker 26: Coach Elko also talked about the challenges that Arizona State
• 52:02
  Speaker 26: will be bringing to the table ahead of Saturday's game.
• 52:05
  Speaker 19: I'm not worried about going forward. I'm worried about winning
• 52:08
  Speaker 19: this game. They're going to present a lot of challenges.
• 52:10
  Speaker 19: They've got a really talented defensive line. They've got two
• 52:13
  Speaker 19: NFL corners. They've got two NFL wideouts. They got a
• 52:16
  Speaker 19: quarterback who's really big and talented. They're really aggressive on
• 52:19
  Speaker 19: special teams.
• 52:20
  Speaker 16: Yeah, the only thing I'm focused on is these four
• 52:22
  Speaker 16: quarters and whether or not we can figure out a
• 52:24
  Speaker 16: way to win a football game.
• 52:25
  Speaker 26: The Maroon and White are set to hit the field
• 52:27
  Speaker 26: on Saturday morning at Kyle Field with kickoff set for
• 52:31
  Speaker 26: 11 a.m. Tonight in the NFL, former Aggie defensive end
• 52:35
  Speaker 26: Miles Garrett will be making his debut for the Los
• 52:38
  Speaker 26: Angeles Rams tonight in the 49ers versus Rams game. Kickoff
• 52:42
  Speaker 26: is set for 7.35 tonight and can be watched on Netflix.
• 52:46
  Speaker 26: The A & M women's golf team stormed back at
• 52:49
  Speaker 26: the Folds of Honor Collegiate Tournament, finishing runner-up. The Aggie
• 52:53
  Speaker 26: baseball team received their 2027 SEC conference schedule and will
• 52:57
  Speaker 26: be starting off the season on the road from March
• 53:00
  Speaker 26: 19th through 21st against Alabama. Texas A & M Cross

  Speaker 6: and you know what that means. It is time for

  Speaker 6: a round of jokes with Will.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: So, Tucker, what does a thesaurus eat for breakfast?
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: I have no clue. Genuinely no clue.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: A synonym roll. What do you call a deer with
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: no eyes? No clue. No idea.
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: Son of a gun. Right about where you were saying it.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Right there. So what happens when you put a bunch
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: of ducks in a cement mixer?
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: No idea.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: You end up with a bunch of quacks in the concrete.
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: No idea.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Tucker, what do you call a fake potato?
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: What do you call a fake potato, Will?
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: An imitator. Perfect. Nailed it. How do you get 100
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: math teachers into a room that only fits 99?
• 55:08
  Speaker 6: How do you get that many math teachers into a room?
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: You carry the one. And we'll wrap it up with
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: this one today. I asked my date to meet me
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: at the gym.
• 55:22
  Speaker 16: Oh.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: She never showed up. Okay. That's when I knew we
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: would never work out. Quality.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: Quality material.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you very much.
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: I feel like you left some on the table.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: I did. I have a couple more. Went a little
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: bit shallow.
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: Okay. Just know, just know there's always more in the tank.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's more in the tank. You always got to
