• 0:45
  Speaker 2: According to Texas law enforcement officials, the attack was supposed
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to happen today, but was stopped thanks to the joint
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: work of agents with the Texas Department of Public Safety
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and the FBI, culminating with the arrest early Wednesday morning
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of 40-year-old Benny Caldera at a home near San Antonio.

  Speaker 2: credible information about an individual planning a violent attack on
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the Texas capital in Austin. The arrest warrant affidavit alleges
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Caldera told a friend, quote, I am going to the

  Speaker 2: capital and I am going to shoot it up. And
• 1:20

  Speaker 1: & M. October 4th marks 150 years of service by

  Speaker 1: Texas A & M University. It sounds like a joke,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: but there's talk of Texas annexing parts of New Mexico.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And lawmakers are serious. West Texas Representative Brooks Landgraf says
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it was actually their politicians who brought up the idea.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Those in eastern New Mexico feel like the state treats
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: them like a piggy bank. because of their oil and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: gas reserves.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It's a region where it's exploited for its natural resources,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and then the money is taken and spent elsewhere.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The state AG's office says annexation would require approval from
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: both state legislatures and Congress. More news ahead at 6.30
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: or anytime at WTAW.com. I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. How much rain.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Did you get yesterday? Good stuff, bad stuff?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got about four inches, actually. You got four
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: inches of rain? Yeah, and I'm looking on the radar
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to see what those around me got. Essentially, I was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in a stripe of heavy rain for an extended period
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of time. I had a massive rain early yesterday afternoon.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Four inches?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And then the rest of it came.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: You've got to be kidding me.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It was crazy.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: See, I don't I don't green gauge or anything. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: just know I was very happy by the end of
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: the day yesterday. And it looks like we'll be happier
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: again today. I what are they saying? I know it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: 100 percent chance of rain because it's obviously, you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: it's drizzling and maybe raining depending on where you are.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: As we said yesterday, only getting up to, you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: somewhere around the low 80s, maybe 84. And are we
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: dying out a little bit today? What's going on?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Currently, we are. We do have another line of storms
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: moving just west of I-35, just like yesterday.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So those will start coming in later today. So we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: will have, it looks like we will have some clearing
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: during the day a little bit today. And then more
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: coming this afternoon.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: By the way, for tomorrow, for game day, 85. and
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Saturday night, another
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Maybe a good reason
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: to watch it at home. I don't know. You know, whatever.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: No, no, go to the game. Go to the game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Go to the game.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Spend money, especially if you're here from out of town.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Can you do some research for me on the fly
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: and tell me if you can? We'll do this later.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: How much rain did Austin, Texas get yesterday?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Let me see.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: There's a reason I'm asking, but I should have done
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: this before the show, and I didn't. But obviously, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: it's been a pretty good clip of rain across the
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: state of Texas yesterday. I mean, that's.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Dropping some totals. Well, AI said they didn't get any
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: rain yesterday.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: That's trash. Well, I mean, for the purposes of what
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I'm about to tell you, that might be good news.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pull it up someplace else and see
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what I can get here. Storm total accumulation looking over
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: toward Austin. Actually, Austin did not— parts of Austin— Holy cow,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: did they really not get any rain yesterday? No, no, no.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Southeast Austin got over three inches. Over three inches? Austin
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: proper looks like it was between two and a half
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and three and a half inches.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I say this because it's weekend one of ACL. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: don't know if you knew that or not.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Did we talk about this? You mentioned it may be
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: off air.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Austin City Limits Festival weekend one. We looked at the schedule.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we looked at the lineup.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'll say this. I'm trying to think if
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: there's anyone other than Asleep at the Wheel I would
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: actually want to see.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: There's not anybody other than Asleep at the Wheel that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I knew. And Asleep at the Wheel was the first band.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, it's like one and done. So this
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is a real problem. Because with ACL, obviously it happens outside.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: A muddy ACL is a real issue. Like, whatever you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: thought about... We've all been to Chili Fest. Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: And I guess... No, it can't rival it. Because... Zilker
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Park uses some kind of a fertilizer called Dillo Dirt.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with this.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: See, I wasn't either until 2009. Dillo Dirt is basically,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: it's a combination of mulch, some grass clippings. They treat
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: it with sewage. And that's part of what they use
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to keep Zilker looking like Zilker in Austin, Texas, which,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: you know, it is. It's a remarkably green space. It's
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: a beautiful park. in a part of the state where
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: a lot of the parks turn brown for about six
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: months out of the year. So when it rains out
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: there and you get mud, it's not just mud. It's
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: like spring loop. Only a spring loop had a mud problem.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of competing smells in Austin,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: but I cannot imagine one that is going to overcome that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Can you even imagine? And again, you don't have to
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: sell me on not going to ACL. I was already.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We're way, way beyond festival age for the most part.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, Lord, I am not in the target demo for this.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: But if you happen to have tickets, maybe. maybe find
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: a way to sit this one out because that is
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: going to be disgusting.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I bet the secondhand market is tanking on those right now.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: How much do you think you can get it? Yeah,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: if you've never been to an ACL, would you go
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: in situations like this if you could get $ 20 tickets?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Only if I was flown in by helicopter.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: VIP? Does VIP get you on turf for them?
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I remember VIP back in the Chili Fest days. You
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: had your own trailer and a small picket fence around it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: That wasn't enough.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: No, it wasn't enough. But you did get your own
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: bathroom in that trailer.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: The bathroom is great. What did they call the tickets
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: that got you on the tower the last couple of years?
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: The last couple of years. I mean, my Chili Fest
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: experiences died out somewhere around 2008. Three.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: That's another one that I aged out of the primary demographic.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I never was in the primary demographic. I just had
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to be there.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Happy Friday, gang. Great to have you here.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: Hello, Brazos Valley. This is Brandon Eisman with Dean and
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: At Dean & Draper Insurance, we can't promise to solve
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: the inflation problem, but we can shop several high-quality insurance
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: companies to provide you with a competitive solution tailored to
• 8:33

  Speaker 1: here recently. The 80s are making another push again. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it's it's deep. I mean, they're getting into the music. Obviously,

  Speaker 1: on that the other day, maybe somewhere in my prep,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: where all kinds of hairstyles are coming back.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: By the way, obviously, it did not start out as being... Well, no,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I need to preface that. You can get denim and
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: you can get jeans for a reasonable price. The question is,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: how much are you willing to spend for a good
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: pair of jeans? Do you have a max out that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You will spend? I just, I don't... There's only really
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: one pair of jeans, brand of jeans that I like.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: What do you go with?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I go with Wranglers. Same, man.
• 13:31
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I have never found a reason to stray.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I was a Levi's kid back in the day. Before that,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a Tuffskins kid in the Husky size.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And then I went to Levi's. Of course, the Buttonfly
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: 501s were big when I was in school.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Of course they were. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But recently, it's been nothing but the good old-fashioned Wranglers.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Now, how much does your wife spend on jeans?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: What does your daughter spend on?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: What's your max out?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: There are things that I've asked them not to talk
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to me about.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Because I don't know if we talked about this on
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: the show. Takova is the boot company in Austin. They
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: dropped a new denim line. I want to say it
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: was maybe a month ago.
• 14:15
  Speaker 15: $ 250.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Sucks.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: For some jeans. And I just, again, I'd looked at it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I was like, that's great. But Wranglers though.
• 14:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: But Wranglers though.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You're talking to a guy who is at least two
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: members of his family have spent $ 900 on tennis shoes.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. One pair. Well, you're, you're not alone.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Well, my wife has bought, uh, my wife has bought
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: $ 350 jeans before. Um, and it's just, I'm told, uh,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: It is just the way. It's what you have to do.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know that the have to goes.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: All the way there. Do they have lady jeans that

• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Someone is going to tell you, yeah, he could be
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: a custodian. No, Arturo is a superhero. Arturo is MacGyver.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Anything breaks in this building, and I mean anything, Arturo
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: fixes it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: A few months ago, I pulled up and I was like,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: why do I hear a waterfall? And in the parking lot,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I look behind me and there's a fountain.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: At three in the morning.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: And it is not just a small fountain. I mean,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it's a 20 or 30 foot fountain.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And so I get up here and I find Arturo's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: number and I shoot him a text message. Responded immediately.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Came back up here. I think it was fixed before.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Responded immediately. This is the one I needed to ask

• 16:14
  Speaker 4: and researching various topics. Research Maniacs Day. Research Maniacs.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like... It sounds close. It sounds close.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Suspiciously close.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I think that's one of those... We talked about this
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: before as well, where you can just, no matter who
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you are, you can apply to get a day with
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: like two different calendars. And if you hand them some cash....
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: They'll put the name on the calendar for you. Text
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: message from Chase going back to the denim thing. I'm
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: not proud of this, but who remembers JNCO jeans with
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: an oversized T-shirt, and why is that trend coming back, too?
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: He's right, you know. JNCOs are having them. Yes, you do.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know JNCOs.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, you absolutely do. Do you remember those jeans that
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: were as wide as a house? They were just the back.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: It didn't make any sense.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I remember a glimpse of it, and then my brain said,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you can ignore that.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: You couldn't see the kids' shoes. You couldn't see them
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: move their legs. They just walked like they were floating
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: because their entire stride could be held within the leg
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: of one JNCO. It was insane.
• 17:24
  Speaker 17: Nope.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: And no. I do not know why those are coming back.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I thought we had left those dead and buried along
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: with wallet chains.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's one of those things that might come
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: back for a brief moment and then people with common
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: sense go, this just doesn't work.
• 17:39

• 30:12

• 34:39
  Speaker 1: that got a little more maybe but yeah looking at
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the looking at the rainfall estimates on my radar app
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: uh yeah that's that's right where i was and it

• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I saw this story.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: And you know what I said? Bring it. Yeah. Millennials.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Not boomers.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Not boomers.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Not Gen X.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Millennials.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: They said we all need to retire because we're clogging
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: up all them jobs. Can't climb the ladder if the
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: millennials haven't retired yet. And my son, I'd love to.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Can we make that? Can you explain how?
• 35:37
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Like I. Are you going to fund it?
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. You give me a reason to stay home.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: financially pull one of.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Them golden parachutes on my back buddy brother jumping out
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the oh.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Holy cow just just give me that chance like i'm
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: not trust me this isn't by choice this isn't by
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: desire i often say this is a fun no different
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: this is a fun job yeah i this is a
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: job i would probably keep.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Doing i tell myself that i would you find me a.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Gen z that wants to do this and we'll we'll
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: have a conversation about overstaying my welcome But the rest
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: of it, no, I have bills. I am not dead.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: And so the bills have not gone away. Until the
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: bills go away, I'm sorry, kid, you're going to be
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: relegated to the other career path.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Why don't you kids quit using all the resources like
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: food and fuel and stuff so the prices will come
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: down so we can afford it and then maybe we'll retire.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Exactly. Just have a couple of skinny years, guys. No,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: the other career path, which is now getting debated, is
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: obviously influencer. And This is also... No, no, no, seriously.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing. Even Gen Z, according to this,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: doesn't think it's a legitimate career. So now the debate
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: is raging again. Is influencer an actual career you can
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: aspire to? Because if you go to talk to kids
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: in junior high, probably maybe in high school, I don't know.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: I haven't had a conversation at like anything career-based with
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: high schoolers in a while.
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: But.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: In junior high, they will definitely tell you that they
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: aspire to be influencers. They aspire to be content creators
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: and influencers. And so the question is, does that count
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: as a career?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I would say that yes and no. I don't think
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: it counts as a career because I think it's horrible bullhockey.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: However.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: The University of Texas at San Antonio offers a specialized
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: bachelor's degree in digital media influence.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: UCLA, USC, Cornell, and other major universities.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Cornell's Ivy League. All right, so I need to talk
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: to y'all like my parents done talked to me. Did
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: your parents have a conversation with you when you decided
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: to go into radio?
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: No.
• 37:54
  Speaker 30: Okay.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: No, they didn't. I could see the disappointment on my
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: father's face.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, your dad's a.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: World-renowned landscape horticulturist, PhD. He was a rock star in
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the industry.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a big deal. My dad's a doctor and surgeon.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: And I came home at 16. I was like, I
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: want to be on the radio. And they were very supportive.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: But you could also see, like.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: We had such high hopes.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Now, other people in radio came to me. And they said, look.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: If you're going to do this, don't get your degree
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: in radio. Go get your degree in something else. And
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: then if radio happens, hey, that's great. Now, keep in mind,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: this is back in the 90s, right? This is the
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: same thing, kids. If influencing happens for you, that's fantastic.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Don't count on it. That's great.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: But it's also probably not going to happen.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: And how long will it last if it does?
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: A couple of years. A couple of years, you can
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: make a lot of money. It's a couple of years
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: if it blows up and maybe it turns out. What
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: do I know? But again, I can't tell you not
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: to do it. I took a weird career path. It's like,
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: it's the same thing. It's the same thing. The only
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: difference is that, you know, I don't know. I would
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: think there's less of a chance to make it in
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: that game.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think that's right. There's so many
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: people out there that are trying to do it.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I would say this when it comes to jobs. Is
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: it a job? The bottom line is, can you put
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: influencer on your resume when you apply for? a real
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: job and expect them to actually care? And the answer is. sorry,
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: that to this day doesn't work.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Unless you're applying for perhaps a marketing position or something
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: I don't even know if it works there, Will. Because again,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: it's just, it's not, I don't think it's work experience
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: that is going to be judged the way.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: You think it is. It's certainly not. I mean, if
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: you were an influencer and you think you're going to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: step into an office situation somewhere, actually, I'd like to
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: see that TV show.
• 39:59
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Right? Influencer, blows up big, fails, has to go to
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: work at a real office.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: That is a script that I would absolutely, absolutely support.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: We'll work up the storyboard after the show.
• 40:16
  Speaker 9: Ranchers, it's time for you to plan your cattle feed
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: and mineral requirements for your winter feeding program.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Take advantage of.
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: Bulk contract prices and place your order at Producers Cooperative
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: between September 25th and October 17th. Reserve your feed and
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: minerals now and pick up or take delivery as you
• 40:34
  Speaker 9: need them. Contracting runs September 25th through October 17th at
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: Producers Cooperative. Everything nutrition since 1943.
• 40:46
  Speaker 13: Put some zing in your spring with flowering bulbs. It's
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: that time again with nurseries offering bountiful selections of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths,
• 40:54
  Speaker 13: grape hyacinths, and many less common minor bulbs. It isn't
• 40:57
  Speaker 13: a difficult procedure. In fact, any gardener can master it
• 41:00
  Speaker 13: in one season. That's even true for second floor apartment gardeners.
• 41:04
  Speaker 13: I'll be back with details of spring bulbs right after
• 41:07
  Speaker 13: this message. My book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening.
• 41:12
  Speaker 13: I believe it's the best work of my career. I
• 41:14
  Speaker 13: self-published it. It's directly from me to your mailbox. There's
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: no publishing house, no retail markups to run up your cost.

  Speaker 13: As I close out the final printing, here's an offer
• 41:24

  Speaker 13: A signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y
• 42:05
  Speaker 13: dot com. If you're interested in spring flowering bulbs, you
• 42:09
  Speaker 13: need to start with quality bulbs. No matter what type
• 42:12
  Speaker 13: you're selecting, look for firm, top-sized bulbs. Most local nurseries
• 42:17
  Speaker 13: will have ample supplies of the best bulbs available. Beware, however,
• 42:20
  Speaker 13: of deeply discounted bargain bulbs from part-time garden centers. Chances
• 42:25
  Speaker 13: are they may not be of the quality you'll need
• 42:27
  Speaker 13: for best results. They may not even be very good varieties.
• 42:30
  Speaker 13: Some of your bulbs need to be chilled artificially. That
• 42:33
  Speaker 13: requires that you put them in the vegetable bin, not
• 42:35
  Speaker 13: the freezer, of your refrigerator for a minimum of 45
• 42:39
  Speaker 13: days at 45 degrees. You plant them once the soil
• 42:43
  Speaker 13: temperatures have hit 50 degrees for several consecutive days, usually
• 42:46
  Speaker 13: in mid to late December. Prime candidates for this chilling
• 42:50
  Speaker 13: include tulips and hyacinths. Most others can be planted as
• 42:53
  Speaker 13: soon as you buy them. Spring flowering bulbs should be
• 42:56
  Speaker 13: planted into loose, highly organic soils that drain quickly away
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: after heavy rain. Since these plants will do most of
• 43:02
  Speaker 13: their growing during winter's cooler weather, their soils won't dry
• 43:05
  Speaker 13: out very quickly, and that makes the initial preparation especially important.
• 43:10
  Speaker 13: Plant your bulbs two times as deep as they are tall.
• 43:12
  Speaker 13: A two-inch daffodil bulb, for example, should be four inches deep.
• 43:16
  Speaker 13: It's usually best to use a fairly large number of
• 43:19
  Speaker 13: bulbs in a given bed. Plant them in rounded groupings
• 43:22
  Speaker 13: rather than long straight rows. Mass one color per area
• 43:26
  Speaker 13: and plant the bulbs very close together for the best effect.
• 43:30
  Speaker 13: That probably means putting them two to three bulbs widths apart.
• 43:33
  Speaker 13: That's close enough that they may actually be easier just
• 43:36
  Speaker 13: to rake the soil out of the bed, place the
• 43:38
  Speaker 13: bulbs in their spots, and then carefully cover them over
• 43:40
  Speaker 13: with the loose soil. Remember, however, that they must be
• 43:44
  Speaker 13: at the proper planting depth. Some gardeners prefer to put
• 43:47
  Speaker 13: one tablespoon of bone meal one to two inches beneath
• 43:50
  Speaker 13: each bulb. That's usually not necessary since most of our
• 43:53
  Speaker 13: soils in Texas have ample supplies of phosphorus anyway, especially
• 43:57
  Speaker 13: the clay soils. Otherwise, a little special feeding will be
• 44:00
  Speaker 13: required to keep the plants vigorous. If you intend to
• 44:03
  Speaker 13: keep them over from one year to another, they'll probably
• 44:05
  Speaker 13: get enough nutrition from the fertilizers you apply to other
• 44:08
  Speaker 13: plants nearby. Commercial plantings have taught us to interplant our tulips,
• 44:13
  Speaker 13: especially with short-growing annual flowers like pansies, so you can
• 44:16
  Speaker 13: have a contrasting color. The tulips come up and grow,
• 44:19
  Speaker 13: the pansies are all around them, then the tulips flower
• 44:22
  Speaker 13: and they take over the show, then they die away.
• 44:24
  Speaker 13: You can extricate them at that point and you still
• 44:26
  Speaker 13: have pansies for several more weeks. There are lots of
• 44:29
  Speaker 13: great bulbs out there in the market. Talk to your
• 44:31
  Speaker 13: nursery about the best types for your needs. I'm Neal Sperry.
• 44:35
  Speaker 13: Until next time, thanks for listening and happy gardening.
• 44:38
  Speaker 24: What kind of home do you live in?
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: We live in a two-bedroom high-rise condo.
• 44:43
  Speaker 31: A three-bedroom family home.
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: In the suburbs.
• 44:46
  Speaker 26: A farmhouse on our family ranch passed down through generations.
• 44:50
  Speaker 24: It doesn't matter where you live or what kind of
• 44:53
  Speaker 24: home you have. You all have one thing in common.
• 44:56
  Speaker 24: Gina Hinojosa voted to increase your property taxes. Not once,
• 45:01
  Speaker 24: not twice, but 40 different times Gina Hinojosa voted to
• 45:05
  Speaker 24: raise your property taxes. If she has her way, you'll
• 45:08
  Speaker 24: be priced out of your own home. Gina Hinojosa is
• 45:12
  Speaker 24: too radical to be governor of Texas. Luckily, Governor Greg
• 45:16
  Speaker 24: Abbott has a better plan.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: We have to stop.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: The insanity and instead give you a different property tax
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: relief that will do more than cut your property tax
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: bill in half forever. You're going to be able to
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: live in your home for the rest of your lives
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: without being priced.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Out of it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 24: Greg Abbott, governor.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott. We're
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: in the CC Electric studio from new homes to flickering lights.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: They are here to help. CCElectricBCS.com.
• 45:50
  Speaker 31: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update

  Speaker 31: on 1620-945-WTAW. The A & M football team is gearing
• 45:59
  Speaker 31: up to play Arkansas tomorrow night at Kyle Field, and
• 46:02
  Speaker 31: the Aggies will be kicking off the start of the
• 46:04
  Speaker 31: university's 150th anniversary while wearing their new camo uniforms for
• 46:09
  Speaker 31: tomorrow night's game. Head coach Mike Elko spoke about the
• 46:12
  Speaker 31: significance of Saturday's game.
• 46:14
  Speaker 14: Excited to start the 150th anniversary kickoff Saturday night. Obviously
• 46:19
  Speaker 14: a huge thing for this university and honored that they're
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: going to start the kickoff celebration at a football game.
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: Pretty cool that we're able to break out the camo
• 46:27
  Speaker 14: uniforms as it kind of, I think, symbolizes what this
• 46:30
  Speaker 14: university stands for. And so excited for that opportunity. And
• 46:33
  Speaker 14: I think just start with what I told the guys
• 46:36
  Speaker 14: this morning. I think when you're in a position where
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: you're facing adversity, where things aren't going the way that
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: you hoped, The only thing you can do is come
• 46:44
  Speaker 14: together and work. That's the only option you have. You've
• 46:47
  Speaker 14: got to commit to a process that's going to allow
• 46:49
  Speaker 14: the results to change somehow, some way. And so we
• 46:52
  Speaker 14: can't want it to happen. We can't talk about it happening.
• 46:55
  Speaker 14: There's no magic words. We've got to identify the issues
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: and we've got to go to attack it every single day.
• 47:01
  Speaker 31: Coach Elko also spoke about the challenges the Aggies are
• 47:04
  Speaker 31: preparing for ahead of taking on Arkansas.
• 47:07
  Speaker 14: I think it's a team that's forming its identity with
• 47:08
  Speaker 14: a new staff. A lot of respect for Coach Silverfield
• 47:11
  Speaker 14: and what he's done. Ran a really, really strong program
• 47:14
  Speaker 14: at Memphis, obviously coming off of a really strong victory
• 47:17
  Speaker 14: last week against a Tulsa team that had been playing
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: really good football. And so they're certainly going to come
• 47:22
  Speaker 14: in here now with a lot of confidence that they've
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: started to figure things out and are moving in a
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: direction they want to move.
• 47:28
  Speaker 31: Kickoff for tomorrow night's game is set for 6 o'clock

  Speaker 31: play over the weekend.
• 48:26
  Speaker 30: Excited about the progress our team's making and excited to
• 48:28
  Speaker 30: take some next steps and just when we have these
• 48:30
  Speaker 30: matches that's what I treated as chances for us to
• 48:33
  Speaker 30: improve what we've been working on throughout the week so
• 48:35
  Speaker 30: it's interesting because we had all these I don't know
• 48:37
  Speaker 30: injuries everyone was a little nicked up but I actually
• 48:38
  Speaker 30: feel like once we get everyone back we're in a
• 48:40
  Speaker 30: really good spot and I just talked about October being
• 48:44
  Speaker 30: the time where I want us to push and a
• 48:46
  Speaker 30: little bit of that rest was for that reason that
• 48:49
  Speaker 30: it's time to put the pedal to the metal right
• 48:50
  Speaker 30: now and keep improving as we're going so.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I thought yesterday was good.
• 48:53
  Speaker 30: It was really dialed in, really focused. I thought as
• 48:55
  Speaker 30: the kind of rust came off about 25 minutes in,
• 48:57
  Speaker 30: the volleyball was really good, so excited about what's coming.

  Speaker 31: on Friday, October 9th. Head coach Michael Early explained why
• 49:19
  Speaker 31: the Aggies decided to move the scrimmage.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: We went ahead and made the decision to cancel tomorrow's
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: scrimmage just with the weather and the unknown and with
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: it being a scrimmage. And the other part that made
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: it easy is we're going to be able to play
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: the following Friday against Rice, same time, same place. So
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: that just made the decision a little bit easier and
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: play weatherman during the season. So this is an early
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: start on it. So Easy decision to make. Talked to

• 50:41
  Speaker 22: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 50:44
  Speaker 22: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 50:47
  Speaker 22: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 50:51
  Speaker 22: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 50:55
  Speaker 22: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 50:58
  Speaker 22: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.
• 51:02
  Speaker 22: Political ad paid for by Paul Dyson for Texas.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: 1620, 94.5 WTAW. Good morning, guys. We're the Infomaniacs today. 60,
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: 70% chance of rain. More will be here this afternoon.
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: Had some early this morning. And then 80% chance tomorrow.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Both days, highs in the mid-80s. Weather's brought to you
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: by United Roofing and Sheet Metal. Home of the Duralast
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: Roof System, the world's best roof. Give them a call, 268-ROOF,
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: or go to unitedroofingpros.com. Text messages. Charlie reports a total
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: of 2.1 inches of rain. Just past Miramont on 1179.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: Not bad.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Not bad. No, that's a decent little soaker there.
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: Frank says two and a half inches out in Washington
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: County during these rain events. Always concerned about the safety
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: of the wild hogs. Don't be concerned about the wild hogs, Frank.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: And I know that was said in jest.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Sarcasm.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: But you should be concerned about how the hogs are
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: going to treat the other creatures that are out there today.
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: And with that said, let's talk fight songs because it
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: is A & M versus A & M. Arkansas out
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: at Kyle Field.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: This game is always tougher than it needs to be.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: It shouldn't be.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: After my nine years of exile in Arkansas, I still
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: have a lot of good friends. In fact, some coming
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: down for the game. That will give me unmitigated grief
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: if when we lose.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: Well, we don't have to commit just yet. We got
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: the pickings coming up later on in the show. But
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: that said... Yeah, it's a little stressful today. But we've
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: got to get through the Arkansas fight song, which, weirdly enough,
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: as many Arkansas A & M games I've seen, I've
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: seen a lot of them. I can never remember their fight.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: They're just forgettable to me.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: That's because they hypnotize you with the woo pig afterwards,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: and it melts your brain.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Is there a title to this?
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: It is called the Arkansas fight song.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got real creative, didn't they?
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Hit that line, hit that line, keep on going. Move
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: that ball right down the field.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: Holy cow.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Give a cheer. Rah, rah, never fear.
• 53:05
  Speaker 21: Rah, rah, Arkansas will never yield. On your toes, raise
• 53:10
  Speaker 21: your backs to the finish. Carry on with all your might.
• 53:15
  Speaker 21: For it's A-A-A-R-K-A-N-S-A-S.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Something for Arkansas. Fight, fight, fight. But then... Holy moly. Wait,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: you're staring at me.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: I'm staring at you because that was incredibly good. That
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: was like spot on.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Again, I spent nine years behind the wall.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: So it got burned into your brain.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: It was. It was indoctrinated. That is honestly the first
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: time I've ever seen the lyrics or sung the lyrics.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: Holy cow.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: That's the first time? But I've heard it many times.
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: And again, that whole voodoo chant that they do, that
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: hillbilly voodoo of Woo Pig Suey with their dead eyes
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: behind their straw hats.
• 54:01
  Speaker 26: It is really.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Above their corncob pipes.
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: It's... It's not as... Is it worse than Mississippi State?
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: No, the cowbell.
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: And the clang-a-clang-a?
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: The cowbells are the worst thing on the planet.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: The cow... Cowbells. We're going to have to do a
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: ranker at some point.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Cowbells at that magnitude. Because we throw some out at
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: the console games, too. But they're not like that.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: You don't need 100,000 of them. No. Or however many
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: fit in that awful stadium.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: No, but the Whoopig will start to hypnotize you.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: Hopefully we don't. Well, you know. We'll find out tomorrow,
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Wrong one.
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: Sorry.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Well, you could have played that. I'm depressed. It is
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: a beautiful day.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 54:38
  Speaker 28: 1620, 94.
