The Infomaniacs: September 28 2026 (7:00am) · WTAW - Infomaniacs

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: man was arrested after passing out inside a College Station
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: movie theater. CSPD was called to Cinemark and the 1400
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: block of Earl Rudder Freeway shortly after 8 o'clock Friday morning.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: An employee reported finding 27-year-old Carlos Akia Meja passed out
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: inside the theater. Officers found the man shoeless, showing obvious
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: signs of intoxication with several empty cans of an alcoholic
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: beverage nearby. Ikela Meja was arrested and charged with public intoxication,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: theft under $ 100, and failure to identify. He is being
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: held on an ICE detainer. A driver who fell asleep
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: behind the wheel ended up crashing his car outside Navasota
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: City Hall Friday morning. Navasota police say they received reports
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of the crash just before 2 a.m. Dispatchers were able
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to view cameras positioned on City Hall to see the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: truck on its side and east lawn. The driver sustained
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: minor injuries. He told police he was traveling southbound on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Business 6 when he fell asleep. His truck struck a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: curb at Washington and LaSalle where he lost control of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the vehicle. Investigators say there were no signs of intoxication.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Fatigue and speed were cited as contributing factors in the crash.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: A Tarleton State University rodeo athlete was killed during competition.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Alejandra Ale Franco, a sophomore at Tarleton, was competing in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: breakaway roping Thursday night at a rodeo at Sul Ross
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: University in Alpine. Witnesses say her horse went out of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: control and Franco fell. The Tarleton State Rodeo team announced
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Franco's death Friday on Instagram. Officials have not released details
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: about Franco's injuries. Bluebell is being sued by the Equal
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC filed a lawsuit against the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Brenham-based company on behalf of a man who they say
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: was unlawfully terminated after requesting a religious accommodation. The Jewish
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: man was a body shop technician at Bluebell's production facility
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in Alabama. The suit alleges that Bluebell fired the man
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in March 2025, less than a month after refusing to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: shave his beard because of his religious beliefs. Bluebell claims
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the employee was fired over a timekeeping violation, while the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: EEOC claims it was retaliation and religious discrimination. The lawsuit
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: also claims the supervisor questioned the sincerity of the worker's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: religious beliefs on multiple occasions. An attorney for the EEOC
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: says they will continue to firmly enforce federal protections for
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: religious freedom. There's dismay after the state's top court ruled
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: against a woman on Texas death row.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: By a 5-4 ruling, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: rejected the Cameron County Trial Court's recommendation that Melissa Lucio
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: is actually innocent. In 2008, Lucio was convicted of killing
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: her two-year-old daughter and sentenced to die. Lucio's attorney, Vanessa Potkin,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: calls the court's ruling stunning and says new evidence has
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: proven Lucio's daughter died as a result of an accidental fall.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: The prosecutor's office itself conceded that there had been prosecutorial
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: misconduct at her trial and agreed that her conviction should
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: be overturned.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Potkin says she plans to appeal to a federal court.

• 5:40
  Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW. Infomaniacs, good morning. Weather, mid-90s today. Down to, I
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: don't know, 80 degrees tonight. But we all know the
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: second half this week is nothing but rain chances. Like
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: really good rain chances. And temperatures not even getting out
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: of the 90s. or not even getting into the 90s
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: by the time we hit Friday and Saturday and then
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: further down the road.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: If we have a rainy game Saturday night, I'm okay
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with it. That way they can blame the weather on
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the fact that nobody's going to show up.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: Kirk texts in a couple, and we love y'all's text messages.
• 6:19
  Speaker 11: Seriously, 979-695-1620.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: I want to mention these because Kirk went to Baton
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: Rouge over the weekend to watch a football game. He says, tailgating,
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: thumbs up. I heard some wild things about those tailgates.
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: From friends that were there, like people walking in and
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: seeing stuffed quail, gumbos.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: All the usual things. Don't ask what's in the pot,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just eat it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: Don't ask what's in the pot, but it's one of
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: the best tailgating experiences in the world is LSU. Send
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: some stadium pics here, you know?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, the stadium.
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: The stadium looked gorgeous, including that sunset pic.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: On TV, it looked phenomenal. It looked amazing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: Purple skies, purple stadium, purple everything. It's not exactly what
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: we want to see, but yeah, I can dig it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: You got to give it credit where it's due. He
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: follows up.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: With game thumbs down.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: Indeed.
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: Ag's performance, thumbs down. It was pretty bad. I don't
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: know what to say about it, really.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: If you listen to our pick-em on Friday, what I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: did say was what I've seen from the Aggies this year,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: even in the victories, is there's something dreadfully wrong, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: we're not going to fix it in a week.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: If you guys have got thoughts about where the problem is,
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: feel free to text them in.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: There's not the problem. There's multiple problems.
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: Lots of problems. I did see a couple of things
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: that I wanted to note. Are you familiar with a salami,
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: the Aggie Dino salami?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I've seen his post.
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if you know Salami, I would say he's probably
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: the lead content creator as far as just students on campus.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: I like his stuff a lot. He's fun. He was
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: at the game. I think they broke him. This was
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: his take walking down the turnstiles after that loss.
• 7:58
  Speaker 12: Man, we only lost two games, bro. That basically means
• 8:01
  Speaker 12: 10-2 still. That means if we go undefeated, we still
• 8:04
  Speaker 12: have a chance for the playoffs. And if we still
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: have a chance for the playoffs, Marcel Reed can really
• 8:10
  Speaker 12: still win Heisman. And that means we can make the
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: playoffs and beat all the teams and then win the championship.
• 8:15
  Speaker 12: And then after all that, you know what I'm saying,
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: we still got potential. Like, two games does not define us.
• 8:21
  Speaker 12: Two games does not define us, bro. Like, just wait
• 8:23
  Speaker 12: till next week when we play Arkansas, bro. We're going
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: to show them who the top of the SEC is
• 8:28
  Speaker 12: for real.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to lie.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: They're going to see it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: Someone broke him. It sounds like he was dropped on
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: his head.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: What was he given at a tailgate?
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Something to make him happy because I texted, I texted
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: all my, my pig friends from my nine years of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: exile in Arkansas. I was like, brothers.
• 8:43
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: They're going to win next week.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: You.
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's, that's the, now I'll tell you that if, if,
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: if the pigs win, this weekend.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And I don't care if somebody from the athletic department
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: is listening or a player or whatever.
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: That's wheels off.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: At this point, if they buckled up the chin straps today,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Pig would win.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: Someone was good enough to redo the Aggie schedule for 2026,
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: so I want to give you what we're looking at
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: for the rest.
• 9:11
  Speaker 14: Of the season.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: Obviously, this Saturday.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Pig comes to town.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: Next Saturday, fall wedding for 1010. For 10-17, just book
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: your wife's friend's baby shower. 10-24, they suggest visiting your grandparents. 11-7,
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: work on learning a new language. Saturday, 11-14, donate at
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: the animal shelter. Saturday, 11-21, take some time to donate blood.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: And then, obviously, Friday, 11-27, you're just enjoying Thanksgiving. That's
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: the rest of your season. And you know what? You'll
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: take Noelle's.
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: No.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: You'll take Noelle's.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And you'll do some good things, and you'll feel good
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: about it. Literally, it was so bad that I'm considering
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: watching the NFL again.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: You know, it might be a good year to give
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: that a try.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Might be.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: From what I've seen, it might be a good year
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: to switch over to the Texans. I wouldn't do the
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: Cowboys because there's.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: No point in that. No, I'm not going to go
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: maybe for a particular team. I mean, previously, as I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: was on my way out of my NFL viewing days,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I would always just look for Aggie players to watch
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: on teams.
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: Get a couple of your own personal favorites.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: From back when we used to have some spine and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: would play.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: On the football field. It's a great thing. There's a
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: million different games on every Sunday.
• 10:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: And just change your, just change your routine. Sunday stuff
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: moves to Saturday and Saturday game day stuff.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: And you don't have to suffer like this. You don't
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: have to suffer like this.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad Tucker that a few years ago, I
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: discovered that there was not anything I could do from
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: an alcohol consumption standpoint that would change the outcome of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the football game. Cause for years I thought I can
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: drink us to victory. A few years ago, I decided
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that that wasn't going to be the case. And so, yeah,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I barely had anything to drink during the game.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: Another take, which I thought was particularly insightful. And this
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: is going to be potentially a little deep. Let me
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: see if I can find this guy real quick. And
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: you know what? I'm probably just going to... No, no.
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: Here it is. This is from an English teacher. How
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: an English teacher processes the game. After they kill Julius Caesar,
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: Brutus rationalizes with his fellow conspirators.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Grant that!
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: And then death... is a benefit. So we are Caesar's
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: friends that have abridged his time of fearing death. In
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: other words, by Brutus' logic, Aggies should be grateful. We
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: usually have to wait months for the Ags to choke, collapse,
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: blow their season, and disappoint us completely. They're getting it
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: out of the way early for us, saving us months
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: of anxiety.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That's right. We can get back to the way things
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: used to be before we had hope.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: You know, it's all now you look at.
• 11:52
  Speaker 15: What do we really know about James Tallarico?
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: Tallarico said, Defending trans Texans is something we have to
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: do every day.
• 12:00
  Speaker 15: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 12:04
  Speaker 15: young children. Claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive.
• 12:09
  Speaker 15: Said the trans community needs abortion care too. And even
• 12:12
  Speaker 15: called Jesus a radical feminist. And said God is non-binary.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: Defending trans Texans is something we have to do every day.
• 12:20
  Speaker 16: But it gets worse.
• 12:22
  Speaker 15: James Tallarico voted to allow biological men access to women's
• 12:26
  Speaker 15: bathrooms in schools and for biological boys to play in
• 12:30
  Speaker 15: girls' sports, saying some things are more important than fair
• 12:34
  Speaker 15: competition in sports.
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 12:39
  Speaker 15: Radical liberal James Tallarico.

  Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW-979695. 1620 is our phone number. Randy, good morning. You're
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: on the radio. What do you have for us today?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Just back in the 80s, it would get so bad
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that we would just put the Aggies in and we.
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: Would just ask, where's the band playing this weekend?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Where's the band playing this weekend?
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: Where's the band playing this weekend?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Never lost a halftime.
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: Fortunately, the band's at home.
• 13:55
  Speaker 19: Yeah, you go and see the band and then you leave.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I think it was a measure of a coach.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: If he could, if they could win, if the Ags
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: could beat Texas, you know, this is back to the
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Southwest Conference, if.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: They could beat Texas, then I think he would have,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: they tended to keep their jobs a little bit longer.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Oh, you know, okay, so here's the thing that I,
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: last year, we all remember last year.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: You got to 11-0 and then the Horn's happened yeah
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: and then Miami happened and so you got one side
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: of the for the classic would you rather is an
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: Aggie fan would you rather win every other game and
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: lose to Texas or Would you rather lose every game
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: and then beat Texas? I think what we're doing is
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: just getting these two seasons back to back so we
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: can finally figure out which is actually worse.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: But you can go over for the rest of the
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: schedule and you got the horns at home. Then you
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: get a win over that. Does everyone go home happy?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a serious question. Momentarily happy.
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: Randy, thank you so much. Texas, let us know. Again,
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: this season is going to suck. This is going to
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: be an awful season. It already does. It's going to
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: get worse. But if you beat Texas at the end
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: of it, do you call it a successful season?
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: My vote is no, but let's hear it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 20: 979-695-1620.
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: Be honest. I know it doesn't feel good to have
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: to have this conversation. But be honest. Especially if Texas
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: is coming in at number one.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: If you have a horrible season, right, and yet you
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: beat the number one ranked Longhorns, I will equate it
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to this. Let's say that you shatter most of the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: bones in your leg.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: Okay, most of them.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Most of the bones in your leg.
• 15:50
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: And equate that to our season. Beating the Horns is
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: essentially an opiate.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Right. Yes, exactly.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: It's a little hydrocodone.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: It's a little bit of relief. Yeah. And then you
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: know what you do? You have that to carry you
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: through the offseason because Texas fans can no longer talk
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: trash to you. Like, eh, eh, little brother.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: They will because logic, yeah, whatever.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: I got the dub, whatever.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Scoreboard.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Exactly. Point to the scoreboard. It saves you a lot
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: of conversations that you don't necessarily want to have.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Anton says, hell no.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: Okay, Anton. All I'm saying is just, you know. That
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: might be the only potential bright spot we have, Daryl.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: Absolutely not. Beating Texas will only be a consolation prize
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: at the end of this.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: You're talking like we're going to beat Texas.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: I think that in hard times, you have to find
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: whatever gives you a little bit of hope at the
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: end of the rainbow to make it through the next
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: couple of months and potentially, potentially beating Texas. I know
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: they're number one. They don't look that good.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Neither did LSU.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: They look on Saturday, boy. It's not a good team,
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: but they look good on Saturday.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to suggest that if we lose to a pig,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that we fire the entire football players.
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: Because you can fire them now because they're employees. No,
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: not employees. Sorry, we haven't defined that yet.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And we go to the stands and we pull a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: 12th man team. offense, defense, special teams, and we play
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the rest of the season with the 12th man.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's worth the price of admission. I'd like
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: to see some kids suit up.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: That'd be kind of cool. And I'm sorry, young football players,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: but you guys are now getting paid, so I can talk.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I can take the filter off a little bit.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: That's horrible. Jennifer, yeah, just beat the sips, and I'm
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: a happy girl.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: There's people out there that that will satisfy them.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Well, I know no one wants to admit that. But
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: all I'm saying is, again, we have always said, these
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: are two horrible things, but what if? And then if
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: you had one of those two options, which would it be?
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: Win all the games and lose to Texas? Lose all
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: the games and beat Texas? And we did get the
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: first half of that last season. Is that what is
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: on the way for the rest of the SEC? Don't know.
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: We're going to find out. We'll take a break. We'll
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: talk news. That's next.

  Speaker 8: That's what I mean. Maybe a salve. Bill, good morning.
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: You're on the radio. What do you have for us today?
• 20:33
  Speaker 19: Well, the other day, y'all were talking about your ready-go
• 20:36
  Speaker 19: kit of everything you need in your car.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes.
• 20:39
  Speaker 19: Well, the lovely Ruth and I were on our way
• 20:42
  Speaker 19: to work out, and we get up to the corner
• 20:44
  Speaker 19: of 244 here in Iola, and I think something's wrong
• 20:48
  Speaker 19: with the front end of the car, and it's flat
• 20:50
  Speaker 19: as a pancake on the front passenger side.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: Oh, dude.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 20:55
  Speaker 19: However, remembering what y'all had advised, and we already had one,
• 21:00
  Speaker 19: we got out the little electric pump. and plug that
• 21:04
  Speaker 19: boy in, and we are now limping back home to
• 21:08
  Speaker 19: switch vehicles.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: Will, you saved, again.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: We essentially saved a life. We saved a life.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: I would say, yeah, there was, that's, you never know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: The Infomaniacs, a life-saving radio show.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: When that little thing, that little brain worm that you
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: got from the show come in and say, wait a second,
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: I could just use this thing.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Has that worm invaded your head yet, Tucker? I don't
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: think so. Not yet.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: I haven't purchased one, but I will after.
• 21:32
  Speaker 19: What I'd like to remind you guys is that I've
• 21:35
  Speaker 19: heard it said before, yours is not just a little

  Speaker 19: show about nothing.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: God bless you.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

  Speaker 8: We like to believe that too, Bill. Have a great day, man.
• 21:45

  Speaker 1: Thank goodness you had that little, you'd be able to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: hook yourselves up. Man, I love it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: All right, today. Mid-90s for highs. Currently starting off in
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: the 80s. It's very muggy and gross today. I guess
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: that's fine. That just means moisture is in the air,
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: and that moisture is hopefully going to pay dividends later
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: on this week. We'll find out how that goes. But
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: today and tomorrow, we're looking at dry. By Wednesday, the

  Speaker 13: Please go to lonestartransfer.com or call 855-551-7066. On this Monday,
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: I'm thinking about Donald Trump's meeting with Mayor Ma'am Donnie.
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: Last week, the president spoke with the Marxist mayor in
• 23:12
  Speaker 13: New York City. Some conservatives did not like that at all.
• 23:18
  Speaker 13: And Donnie is essentially a communist. He is going to
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: hurt New York City.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump will not be able to stop that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: So their conversation centered around a big housing project the
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: mayor wants to build in Queens.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: To do that, he needs federal dollars.
• 23:38
  Speaker 13: That's why Madame Donnie requested the meeting with the president. Now,
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: I have no evidence to back this up, but I
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: suspect Donald Trump is trying to lower the hatred towards
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: him in New York so that Bruce Blakeman, the Republican
• 23:59
  Speaker 13: running for governor, can beat Kathy Hochul. Her entire campaign
• 24:06
  Speaker 13: can be summed up like this.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Blakeman is Trump, and Trump is a devil.
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: Governor Hochul not offering many solutions for her state's 20
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: million residents. Latest polling shows Blakeman just four points behind Hochul.
• 24:28
  Speaker 13: Trump's meeting with Ma'am Donnie could cut that in half.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Or not. Almost impossible to predict. Back in a moment.
• 24:41

• 32:34
  Speaker 28: the ball.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: I swear, coach, I had it in my sights. It
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: just vanished. And what about you? Morgan, you threw the
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: ball to the other team. What's going on, son? I
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: don't know, coach. It's like I can't see the field
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: clearly anymore. Everything's a blur.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: All right. Okay.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: Team, huddle up. Here's the new play. We're all heading

• 33:29
  Speaker 8: to be hot. 95 for the high. Very muggy outside.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: Down to around 79, 78 tonight. And then tomorrow, more
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: of the same. By Wednesday, chances of rain. And then
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: those chances of rain... Sticking around for a minute, including
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: some lower temperatures hopefully associated with that, too. Weather is
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: brought to you by Malik Service Company in the Texas heat.

• 33:58
  Speaker 8: feel the difference. I see you looking at those cameras.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these cameras are, I mean, look like anti-aircraft guns
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: spinning around.
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we're working on that.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: Let's put it on the show. Yeah, it's very high
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: quality entertainment here in the studio. I want to talk
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: for a second. And again, we'll need your help for this, guys.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: 979-695-1620.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: Because I kind of want to take a read of
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: the room for a hot minute. And that read of
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: the room involves your text messages. And how those text
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: messages have been for the last 30 days.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: And I mean.
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: The amount of political spam that is showing up.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you were talking about people texting us.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I was like, what?
• 34:38
  Speaker 13: No, no, no.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Texting political spam. Political spam. I haven't gotten any.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: That is interesting to me. You haven't gotten a, by any,
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: do you mean a single one?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Not a, not a single political spam message at all.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Not from Republicans, not from Democrats, not from one.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: How many of you are in that boat? How many
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: of you? have not gotten a single political spam text
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: this season so far. And on the other side, if
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: you have gotten them, how many do you think you're
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: getting a day?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Because what I'm up to, if I count them, is
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: somewhere around 12 a.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Day.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: Now, interestingly enough, they're all Republican candidates. Don't know why.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: Never known why. I only get Republican... Back.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Well, this year based spam this year, I think it
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: could be the fact that all of a sudden the
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Republicans are spending money in Texas, which has not happened
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: in quite some time.
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: That's a good point.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: They're probably geolocating saying, oh, this guy's in Texas. We
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: need to hit it.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: Just he just just hit him and all the time.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm probably not receiving them because of the audacious
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: threats I made receiving them in past years. of what
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I would do should I receive them again.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: See, so you're not getting any that are allegedly from
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: Ken Paxton.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: No.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: It's me, Ken.
• 36:03
  Speaker 24: No.
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: I'm in desperate need for $ 5.
• 36:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Or Greg Abbott or any of these. No.
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: I'm getting them all the time.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm the lucky one.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: Well, you say that, Will. But here's the thing. If
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: I look at this poll, this says that 45% of
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Americans also.
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: Say they never get any.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: So you're in the majority, but just a little bit.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: But just barely. 23% of people say, yeah, I get
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: them all the time from both parties. 10% all Republican,
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: 14% all Democrat. But the biggest number on this list
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: by far is the 45% who say not a single one.
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: Sam says....
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: If you're getting random spam, it might be because of
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: some websites you might visit.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: Oh, Lord.
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: Trust me, Sam. It's not that. But I will say this.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: It seems to be most of the people I talk to,
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: it's a similar thing. I don't know if it's just, again,
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: like if you shop a lot online, if you do
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: a lot of buying stuff on Amazon. I don't know
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: if that affects it.
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: No.
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: I have no idea.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel so fortunate.
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: Or is it because they just know that's like, yeah,
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: or is there a target demo for this, like where
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: they assume you can be swayed?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you might be in the next target demo down
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: because I'm over 55 and you're not.
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe that's past the line for them. The text
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: messages are not terrible, says Christine, less than one per day.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: But on my streaming services, my God, it's just a
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: rotation of them every single commercial break. That's true. It's
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: really the only ad I'm being served right now is
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: political ads. from the major state candidates. Not even national,
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: just the major state candidates. And I guess, you know, Tallarico,
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: Paxton is a national too. Charlie, six a day. Six
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: a day.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Probably 60-40 Republican dim is what he says.
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: So this is why we were asking you. I'm trying
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: to see if Will is an anomaly.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Rebecca says they only mail to registered voters. Rebecca, I
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: am a registered voter.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: Will is the... Have you ever not voted?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: No, I tend to vote.
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: You tend to vote. So this is our, we're seeing
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: if this is accurate, that almost the majority of Americans
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: still never get a political spam text, a political spam call, nothing.
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: It never shows up.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: 979-695- 16-20.
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: So tell us what your situation is. We'll get to

  Speaker 16: Social media has turned parenting into something of a public performance.
• 40:27
  Speaker 16: Many moms and dads are raising their children like a
• 40:29
  Speaker 16: Pinterest page.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Brought to life.
• 40:32
  Speaker 16: These days, baby announcements and birthday parties reach near Broadway-level productions.
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: I think it's great how creative parents can be. Parenting
• 40:41
  Speaker 16: is supposed to be fun. So go for it, Mom
• 40:43
  Speaker 16: and Dad. Just keep one thing in mind while you're
• 40:45
  Speaker 16: creating all those wild, amazing memories for your children. Be
• 40:49
  Speaker 16: careful not to lose sight of the beauty to be
• 40:52
  Speaker 16: found in simple, everyday moments. Someday your children will value
• 40:56
  Speaker 16: the time you spent reading them a book or lying
• 40:58
  Speaker 16: with them in a hammock just as much as those
• 41:01
  Speaker 16: over-the-top birthday parties. I like one mom's idea for reminding
• 41:05
  Speaker 16: herself to be intentional about about spending time with her children.
• 41:09
  Speaker 16: She placed a jar on her dresser filled with pennies,
• 41:13
  Speaker 16: 936 pennies to be exact. That's one penny for every
• 41:18
  Speaker 16: week in her child's life, from birth to age 18.
• 41:22
  Speaker 16: Every week she removed one penny. And over the months
• 41:25
  Speaker 16: and years, as she watched the number of pennies decrease,
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: it reminded her to number her days with her children
• 41:32
  Speaker 16: and to make the most of her time with them.
• 41:35
  Speaker 16: Time is fleeting. Your children will grow up and be
• 41:38
  Speaker 16: gone in the blink of an eye. Cherish your time
• 41:40
  Speaker 16: with them. Do lots of crazy and wild things. Just
• 41:44
  Speaker 16: don't forget to find the beauty in simple, everyday moments.

  Speaker 25: a 35-6 decision to LSU on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium.
• 44:01
  Speaker 25: Head coach Mike Elko recapped the game.
• 44:04
  Speaker 30: I don't have many words. We have to find a
• 44:07
  Speaker 30: way to play better football. We're not playing football at
• 44:09
  Speaker 30: nearly a good enough level, obviously. That's the understatement of
• 44:12
  Speaker 30: a lifetime. I don't have answers right now at this second,
• 44:15
  Speaker 30: but we've got to find them and we've got to
• 44:17
  Speaker 30: find them fast. We have to play better football. That's
• 44:21
  Speaker 30: We got out game 5-0-6 to 1-97. We just got
• 44:24
  Speaker 30: our butts whooped. We have to play better football. We
• 44:26
  Speaker 30: have to be able to run what we're trying to run.
• 44:28
  Speaker 30: We have to be able to execute what we're trying
• 44:30
  Speaker 30: to execute. I think we've got to look at everything.
• 44:33
  Speaker 30: Not that we haven't been already, but we have to
• 44:35
  Speaker 30: look at everything and figure it out. I thought they
• 44:37
  Speaker 30: got us on a couple things. They got us on
• 44:39
  Speaker 30: a pick route where they rubbed us a little.
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: Bit and got open.
• 44:41
  Speaker 30: Not an illegal pick route, but a pick route. So
• 44:45
  Speaker 30: I felt like at halftime we were in a decent spot,
• 44:47
  Speaker 30: and then it just went to total.
• 44:52
  Speaker 25: Next up, the Aggies return to Kyle Field this Saturday
• 44:55
  Speaker 25: night to face Arkansas with a 6 o'clock kickoff. The
• 44:58
  Speaker 25: A & M soccer team fell 5-2 in their match
• 45:01
  Speaker 25: against the Florida Gators yesterday afternoon. The Gators had a
• 45:05
  Speaker 25: 4-0 lead at halftime, and the Aggies were never able
• 45:08
  Speaker 25: to recover in the second half from the lead advantage.
• 45:12
  Speaker 25: Up next, the Marin White hit the road again on
• 45:14

• 45:20
  Speaker 25: team secured a dominant sweep against South Carolina yesterday afternoon
• 45:24
  Speaker 25: to open up conference play at Reed Arena. The 3-0
• 45:28
  Speaker 25: sweep against the Gamecocks improves head coach Jamie Morrison's SEC
• 45:32
  Speaker 25: opener's record to 3-1. Coach Morrison shared thoughts on his
• 45:36
  Speaker 25: team's performance.
• 45:38
  Speaker 21: The SEC is a deep conference, so to be able
• 45:39
  Speaker 21: to come out and play like that, I thought we
• 45:41
  Speaker 21: were really dialed in, really focused, and I thought we
• 45:43
  Speaker 21: played really clean volleyball from beginning to end, so I'm
• 45:46
  Speaker 21: really proud and really fired up and excited for our team.
• 45:49
  Speaker 21: I think also just in terms of, again, the progress
• 45:51
  Speaker 21: that's been happening day to day, week to week. So
• 45:54
  Speaker 21: a really good step in the right direction. I think
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: that's the thing that fires me up the most. And again,
• 45:57
  Speaker 21: when I talk about meaning and cause of why we're here,
• 45:59
  Speaker 21: it's to invest in our athletes and develop one through
• 46:01
  Speaker 21: 16 that are on our roster. So to be able
• 46:04
  Speaker 21: to have one through 16 step on the floor and
• 46:06
  Speaker 21: contribute again against a good volleyball team and be able
• 46:07
  Speaker 21: to play like that, that means.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Everything to me.
• 46:10
  Speaker 21: Again, myself, our staff, we're doing the right things and
• 46:13
  Speaker 21: investing time in everybody.
• 46:14

  Speaker 1: I have had one local company and one local church.
• 49:11
  Speaker 24: Really?
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Really? That over-messaged me.
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: A church?
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've hit unsubscribe so many times on the
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: church thing. I don't know what happened.
• 49:19
  Speaker 26: No.
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: I want to move on because I've got a few
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: things I want to talk about. Number one is the
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: bulletproof armadillo story from a few, I think it was
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: last week.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: It was last week.
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: Now, correct me if I'm wrong, because I know you're
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: going to go look it up over there, but you
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: told me about this, and the idea, the loose idea here,
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: is someone tried to plunk an armadillo. And somehow that
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: armadillo ricocheted the bullet right back to him because of
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: its hard, hard armadillo shell.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: That's what they said. A Texas man ended up in
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: the hospital after a bullet he fired at an armadillo
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: bounced off its hard shell and struck him in the face.
• 49:55
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: In the face!
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I'm calling bull hockey. First of all, this happened around
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: 3 a.m. Found an armadillo on his property and using a.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: 38 revolver. A. 38, you say? Yeah, which is not
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: prime armadillo killing. It could work just fine.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, it seems like that should kill him dead.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: He's shot three times at the animal. Three times. Which
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: means he's a terrible shot.
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: What kind of stormtrooper nonsense is that?
• 50:23
  Speaker 21: I don't know.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: He says the tough shell deflected at least one of
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: the bullets, which ricocheted back and hit him in the jaw.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: The physics of that... At least one?
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: The physics of that.
• 50:34
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Not happening.
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: That's the thing. So I've looked this up. There are
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: about every five or six years there will be this story.
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: And I'm not sure if it's if it's real or
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: if it's just, again, one of those embarrassing things. And,
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: you know, you're out doing some target practice. You have
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: to make up a story, make this thing look good. Like, hey,
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: why did you shoot? You're actually going to get shot
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: in the face, man. Well, I was shooting at a
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: steel pan or something. Like, that's dumb. Oh, I was
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: trying to kill this armadillo, and it just popped right
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: back in my face. That's kind of cool. And people are, whoa, crazy.
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: Is it a lie that is frequently... Because how on earth?
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: It's got to be.
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: Look.
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: It's an armadillo.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of is that the
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: bullet went through the armadillo and ricocheted off of a
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: rock or something behind it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: And then came right back at him.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which... Man, no.
• 51:29
  Speaker 26: No.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: That's not what happened.
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: We all know that's not what happened.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: That's not what happened.
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: Why do you keep trying to sell me this? It's
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: some drunk dude. Again, every five years, some drunk Texan
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: tries to pull this off of trying to convince us
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: that an armadillo is not bulletproof or is bulletproof.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Well, he first of all, he pulls the snub-nosed. 38
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: revolver out.
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: The.
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: 38, that's, yeah.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: So what is your armadillo killing weapon?
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, a. 22 is great. especially suppressed with
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: subsonic rounds.
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: That way you can do it in the neighborhood here.
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, when I lived in a neighborhood here in town,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I did have an armadillo issue, and I texted all
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: my neighbors one night. I said, you're about to hear
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: some gunshots. And I was using an unsuppressed.
• 52:10
  Speaker 27: 22.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: It's not that big of a deal.
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: Because this has gone on too far. This armadillo is
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: going to pay.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: And one of my neighbors, who happened to be CSPD
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: at the time, texted back and said, can I borrow
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: it when you're done? Everything I've got is too big.
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: So.
• 52:25
  Speaker 24: Everything I've got is too big.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Apparently his firearms were set up for something a little
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: bit larger and he didn't have any of the smaller
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: caliber things.
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: He was taking hogs. His nuisance animal is hog, not armadillo.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: When I got out of Friday night after getting back
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I guess it was wee hours of Saturday morning. After
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: getting back from the post-game party after the high school
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: shootout here, there was an armadillo in my yard, and
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I did ask my wife if I should go ahead
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: and pop it. Yeah. And right after I asked, I
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: decided not to because I did not want to end
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: up on a morning show someplace with somebody saying, how
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: the hell did you shoot yourself in the jaw?
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: So I didn't do that. You could have been that guy.
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: I could have been that guy. Is this from Big Armadillo?
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: Is that the situation? Are these like Texas wildlife game
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: officials that are basically saying we need to discourage these
• 53:18
  Speaker 8: cats from plunking our armadillos?
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, you always want to discourage people who are
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: probably intoxicated at 3 a.m. from pulling their snows 38
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: and going after the dillo. You're not going to stuff
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: it and mount it on your wall.
• 53:34
  Speaker 8: No, it's not exactly a problem.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Barbadillos aren't bad. I mean, they'll tear up your yard.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: They do eat some insects. That's my thing.
• 53:40
  Speaker 8: What kind of problem were you running into?
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: They will tear up some gardens. They will tear up
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: your yard. But I'm guessing that Texas man here with
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: his 38 was not protecting the landscape.
• 53:52
  Speaker 9: No.
• 53:53
  Speaker 13: No, no, no.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much he had put into the
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: gardens around his trailer house.
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: He seemed like the type that has a nice bed
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: of petunias.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: I just guessed about trailer house. This case in Georgia
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: where a man tried to shoot an armadillo outdoors. The
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: bullet bounced off the animal, ricocheted off a fence, and
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: traveled through the mobile home's back door and struck his
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: 74-year-old mother-in-law in the back.
• 54:15
  Speaker 8: You got accidentally shot down.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: No.
• 54:16
  Speaker 8: Come on.
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: No.
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: You know how she got shot in the.
• 54:20
  Speaker 7: Back, homie.
• 54:20
  Speaker 8: It did not go through the armadillo. You know how
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: she got shot in the back.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: That's the magic bullet. That could have killed Kennedy.
• 54:28
  Speaker 8: That did.
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: Horrible.
• 54:30
  Speaker 8: In other news, in Oklahoma, a 44-year-old man.
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: Making e-scooters worse somehow.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: We talk about e-scooters all the time.
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: They are the worst. We need to get rid of them.
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: Hopefully someone will figure out a way to do that.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: However, things can always be worse. We have them in
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: our traffic here in town. But at least, for the
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: most part, the riders are closed.
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there's not a situation. Because in Oklahoma, this is
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: really something you have to worry about. This dude is
• 54:58
  Speaker 8: way too old to be doing this. Definitely old enough
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: to know better. You don't need to be on an e-scooter.
• 55:05
  Speaker 8: completely nude. That's my suspicion anyway. Which is the middle
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: of the neighborhood?
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Midwest City, Oklahoma. Witnesses and police body cam footage caught
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the man cruising down the middle of the street on
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: an e-scooter. When asked why, he reportedly claimed he was
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: simply bored.
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: Here, check it. What the hell are you doing, bro?
• 55:24
  Speaker 19: Why are you naked?
• 55:26
  Speaker 6: That's what it's fun with. Huh? Bored.
• 55:30
  Speaker 8: So you're right around naked?
• 55:31
  Speaker 19: No, I sleep on the floor.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Actually, I'm drunk. That man was speaking authentic frontier gibberish
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: That is an Oklahoma man if I've ever heard one.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma man.
• 55:43
  Speaker 8: Better than any of you should have said. I could
• 55:46
  Speaker 8: have been out shooting armadillos.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Misdemeanor charges, indecent exposure, and obstructing an officer.
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: No ricochets harmed any mother-in-laws.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: He did not get a DWI, though. It's not there.
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: That's not driving.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: I would think so. Operating a motor vehicle.
• 56:02
  Speaker 8: You can give a man on a mower a DUI.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: George Jones got a DUI.
• 56:06
  Speaker 7: On the mower.
• 56:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, he did.
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: Legendarily, you give the possum one, and you can't tell
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: me the e-bike guy gets.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: To walk free. No, I think he got off light.
• 56:16
  Speaker 19: Disgusting.
• 56:17
  Speaker 8: Good morning, guys. We're 1620-945-WTW, College Station, Bryan.
