Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. The
0:07
Speaker 1: largest planned development in the city's history is coming to
0:10
Speaker 1: College Station. Rezoning measures were approved at last week's city
0:14
Speaker 1: council meeting that will pave the way for Savannah Oaks.
0:17
Speaker 1: It's a master planned community located off of Highway 6
0:20
Speaker 1: between Pebble Creek and Southern Point. The plan includes nearly 2,700
0:24
Speaker 1: single-family home sites and two planned townhome sites. The developers
0:28
Speaker 1: expect Phase 1 to begin in the first quarter of 2027.
0:32
Speaker 1: with the first residents moving in in early summer 2028.
0:36
Speaker 1: Two people were arrested after failing to scan items at
0:39
Speaker 1: the self-checkout at the West Bryan Walmart. Bryan Police Department
0:43
Speaker 1: responded to the store on Saturday. Employees say 45-year-old Jessica
0:47
Speaker 1: Hernandez and 31-year-old Alex Hernandez failed to scan 15 cosmetic
0:52
Speaker 1: and household items worth $ 132. 00. Both were charged with theft
0:56
Speaker 1: between $ 100 and $ 750 and are free on $ 3, 000 bond each.
1:02
Speaker 1: This was Alex Hernandez's 19th booking into the Brazos County Jail.
1:06
Speaker 1: One week of early voting is in the books. From
1:09
Speaker 1: Monday through Sunday, 29,965 voters in Brazos County cast their ballots.
1:14
Speaker 1: The last day of early voting is Friday in advance
1:17
Speaker 1: of next Tuesday's November 3rd general election. Early voting locations
1:21
Speaker 1: in Brazos County are the MSC, College Station Utilities, Arena Hall,
1:25
Speaker 1: Galilee Baptist Church, or the County Selection Office. A full
1:29
Speaker 1: list of locations with dates and times can be found
1:32
Speaker 1: at brazosvotes.org. On election night, tune in to WTAW for
1:36
Speaker 1: wall-to-wall results coverage. Fox News will keep us updated on
1:40
Speaker 1: crucial races across the country. Jeanette Munchau will be providing
1:44
Speaker 1: live updates on local and state races as results are released.
1:48
Speaker 1: A bill in response to last summer's flooding in the
1:50
Speaker 1: Texas Hill Country has been signed into law by President Trump.
1:54
Speaker 1: The Mystic Alerts Act will let cell phone companies work
1:57
Speaker 1: with satellite companies... to deliver emergency alerts. It's designed for
2:01
Speaker 1: times when the local cell phone network is disrupted by
2:04
Speaker 1: bad weather. Senator John Cornyn says that system could have
2:08
Speaker 1: saved lives last summer, including the 28 people who died
2:11
Speaker 1: at Camp Mystic.
2:12
Speaker 2: We will never be able to make things right for
2:15
Speaker 2: the families that continue to grieve unless we take a
2:19
Speaker 2: chance to honor the memories of those who lost their
2:22
Speaker 2: lives and their families and to prevent the horrors from
2:26
Speaker 2: hopefully ever happening again.
2:28
Speaker 1: Congressman August Pfluger led this legislation in the House of Representatives.
2:33
Speaker 1: It passed the House in April and the Senate in September.
2:36
Speaker 1: A former Texas Tech professor has been sentenced to 40
2:39
Speaker 1: years in prison for making and selling fentanyl.
2:42
Speaker 3: 51-year-old Daniel Taylor taught supply chain management. He pleaded guilty
2:46
Speaker 3: to drug charges in July and distributed fentanyl powder throughout
2:49
Speaker 3: the Lubbock area. He made two types, a potent white
2:52
Speaker 3: powder known as Ghost and Pink Flamingo, a mix he
2:55
Speaker 3: dyed pink and packaged with Flamingo-branded stickers and envelopes. Police
2:59
Speaker 3: caught wind of this last year, and in January, agents
3:02
Speaker 3: saw Taylor meet with one of his dealers in a
3:04
Speaker 3: parking lot. Shortly after, a passenger in that car was
3:07
Speaker 3: hospitalized after an overdose. Taylor also gave multiple women drugs
3:11
Speaker 3: in exchange for sex. Several were poisoned, including one who
3:14
Speaker 3: needed multiple.
3:14
Speaker 1: Doses of Narcan.
3:16
Speaker 4: Eric Bushman, TSN News.
3:19
Speaker 1: More news on the way at 630 or anytime at WTAW.com.
3:24
Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
3:29
Speaker 5: I was having to Google during that last story because,
3:32
Speaker 5: I mean, I am a huge fan of the television
3:36
Speaker 5: show Breaking Bad.
3:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Massive fan.
3:39
Speaker 5: I consider it one of the greatest... Yeah, great show.
3:45
Speaker 1: Legendary. Certainly, certainly one that will be known for generations
3:48
Speaker 1: to come.
3:49
Speaker 5: That said, I was not expecting for a Texas tech
3:53
Speaker 5: professor in supply chain management to be the guy who decided,
3:58
Speaker 5: you know what, maybe I can make this work for me.
4:01
Speaker 1: What, do you think it was a class project that
4:03
Speaker 1: just went a little awry?
4:04
Speaker 5: No, I just, I'll tell you, the ones, when the
4:07
Speaker 5: show dropped, I had, I think for years, I had
4:11
Speaker 5: just like, how do, like, there's got to be more
4:14
Speaker 5: of these college chemistry professors like Walter White, who realized that,
4:21
Speaker 5: you know, because, I mean, again, if you ever met
4:23
Speaker 5: any professors, like, there's some that are great, and there's
4:26
Speaker 5: some that are very normal, and there's some that are
4:27
Speaker 5: very not, just very not normal. And you get the
4:32
Speaker 5: feeling that there's probably at least in any big school,
4:36
Speaker 5: like four or five of these dudes who, if they had.
4:41
Speaker 6: They just seem like the types. You know, it's like.
4:44
Speaker 1: At Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, which is across
4:50
Speaker 1: the street from Ouachita Baptist University, there was a professor
4:54
Speaker 1: busted there, I don't know, five, seven years ago with students...
4:59
Speaker 1: Creating the meths.
5:00
Speaker 6: That's what I mean.
5:01
Speaker 5: The meths are like the, the meths are something that
5:05
Speaker 5: people can create.
5:06
Speaker 1: And apparently the fentanyl is too.
5:08
Speaker 5: The fentanyl is, uh, the, the fentanyl is wild that
5:13
Speaker 5: someone would try that because like, you just have to
5:16
Speaker 5: know you're probably going to kill some people.
5:19
Speaker 6: Like you have.
5:20
Speaker 1: To, it was my understanding. It was my understanding that,
5:23
Speaker 1: you know, fentanyl was, was not something that, was really recreational,
5:28
Speaker 1: that it was something that was mixed in with other drugs.
5:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've assumed that people realize that's a bad idea,
5:34
Speaker 5: but apparently not.
5:35
Speaker 6: So here's his, he has his little recipe here.
5:38
Speaker 1: He put his recipe up there.
5:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, just in case you forgot, I guess.
5:42
Speaker 5: But what he would do is he would have some
5:45
Speaker 5: fentanyl and then he would step on it, which is
5:49
Speaker 5: slang for mix it, with bromazolam, which is like, bootleg
5:56
Speaker 5: xanax so the problem according to the uh justice department
6:01
Speaker 5: is that that would kill you well narcan doesn't reverse
6:06
Speaker 5: bromazolam different chemical structure it'll maybe save you from the
6:12
Speaker 5: fentanyl but that that's probably gonna get you to so
6:17
Speaker 5: yeah that's uh that's truly awful 48 years.
6:21
Speaker 6: So I think he's in his 50s.
6:23
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:24
Speaker 1: You know, he'll probably do 20 of it, maybe 10
6:26
Speaker 1: to 20.
6:27
Speaker 6: No, no, no, friend. Federal charges.
6:29
Speaker 1: Oh, federal charges.
6:30
Speaker 6: Federal means federal. Federal means every day.
6:34
Speaker 7: Don't.
6:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not. He's getting all of.
6:38
Speaker 1: Those 48 years. Yeah, he won the grand prize.
6:41
Speaker 6: What are we looking at weather here? Beautiful day today.
6:43
Speaker 6: So we're getting more rain chances all of a sudden
6:45
Speaker 6: this week?
6:45
Speaker 1: That's what I understand.
6:47
Speaker 6: 40% chance on Wednesday.
6:48
Speaker 5: Is what they are calling for.
6:52
Speaker 6: Mostly sunny today.
6:53
Speaker 5: High near 83. Starting mid-50s. Down to around 60 tonight.
6:56
Speaker 5: Then another day of low 80s, but mostly cloudy. So
7:01
Speaker 5: the clouds return tomorrow, then we get our rain chance,
7:04
Speaker 5: and then, you know, we'll see what happens.
7:06
Speaker 6: It's hit and miss. Is this hurricane?
7:09
Speaker 1: I don't know because I really didn't pay attention to
7:11
Speaker 1: that stuff over the weekend. My weekend was jam-packed of festivities,
7:16
Speaker 1: so I didn't really get to dive into the weather.
7:19
Speaker 1: So when I was looking at it this morning, I
7:20
Speaker 1: thought perhaps it is, but I'll take a deeper look
7:23
Speaker 1: at it tonight and see.
7:24
Speaker 6: Weather brought to you by.
7:27
Speaker 5: Friends at Malik's service company detects heat, air conditioning works overtime.
7:30
Speaker 5: Well-tuned AC will save you money and keep you comfortable.
7:32
Speaker 5: Turn to the experts at Malik and carry to keep
7:33
Speaker 5: your AC run properly. Malik, feel the difference. How was
7:36
Speaker 5: your wedding experience? Because, well, I'll ask you this one
7:39
Speaker 5: specific thing. Because I figured what you would do was,
7:42
Speaker 5: because in my mind, A & M was going to
7:44
Speaker 5: just get dog walked.
7:46
Speaker 1: Right.
7:47
Speaker 5: And there would not be any... No conflict. Nobody would
7:50
Speaker 5: care about turning it off. I don't need to watch
7:52
Speaker 5: this trash. But it wasn't that way.
7:55
Speaker 1: It was not that way. In fact, when we were
7:57
Speaker 1: sitting in my truck in the parking area around the
8:04
Speaker 1: small town Baptist Church, having a couple of cold pops,
8:10
Speaker 1: watching the game, we were still up. We were up,
8:15
Speaker 1: and then the wife decreed, okay, we have to go in.
8:19
Speaker 1: So we went in.
8:20
Speaker 8: Right.
8:21
Speaker 6: But we're still up.
8:22
Speaker 1: We were still up when we went in.
8:23
Speaker 6: And A & M might, at that point, might beat
8:26
Speaker 6: Alabama on the.
8:27
Speaker 1: Road, which would be a pretty big day. So, no,
8:31
Speaker 1: I got in the church. I managed with my daughter's
8:34
Speaker 1: boyfriend an engineering feat. The hymnal was kind of well-worn
8:41
Speaker 1: and had a little flex to it. Oh, nice. So
8:43
Speaker 1: I was able to bend it over slightly and put
8:45
Speaker 1: the phone on top of it and wedge it underneath
8:48
Speaker 1: the top of the pew. Real solid. And we were
8:51
Speaker 1: able to watch. We turned it off. pretty quickly after
8:55
Speaker 1: things went sideways didn't we all yeah but it was
8:57
Speaker 1: a remarkably short ceremony which i'm always a big fan
9:00
Speaker 1: of oh it's like a half hour or.
9:02
Speaker 6: Less that's that's that's how you do it yeah and.
9:04
Speaker 1: Then we headed to the reception reception was nice it
9:07
Speaker 1: was outdoors and thank god it was not hot and
9:10
Speaker 1: yeah it was nice uh so no they got married
9:13
Speaker 1: right so that's the.
9:14
Speaker 5: End that takes care of it Yeah, just good enough
9:19
Speaker 5: to give you hope.
9:20
Speaker 4: Is that worse?
9:21
Speaker 1: I guess.
9:22
Speaker 6: I think that's worse.
9:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, the worst thing is that not only did they lose,
9:27
Speaker 1: but they did not cover. No, they didn't.
9:29
Speaker 6: So it blew the pick-up process for everybody, too.
9:32
Speaker 1: I think I'm over this week.
9:33
Speaker 6: No one had a good day yesterday or on Saturday.
9:36
Speaker 1: And Ole Miss lost, too. We watched that game.
9:38
Speaker 6: That sucked. That I hated. Anyway, good morning, guys. Monday's here.

13:03
Speaker 4: Well, a few things.
13:05
Speaker 5: First off, and kind of a weird, it's Mule Day,
13:08
Speaker 5: if you happen to be. I know we have some
13:10
Speaker 5: people out there who probably have a couple of mules
13:11
Speaker 5: on the property.
13:12
Speaker 1: Well, of course, Riley and her family.
13:14
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
13:15
Speaker 1: They got 27.
13:16
Speaker 6: Astute mule.
13:17
Speaker 5: Do you know who one of the first mule breeders
13:19
Speaker 5: in America was?
13:20
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
13:21
Speaker 5: One of the most, and by I say first, not
13:23
Speaker 5: first as in to do it, but first to do
13:25
Speaker 5: it well.
13:27
Speaker 6: George Washington.
13:27
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah.
13:29
Speaker 5: You got a bunch of donkeys from the Spanish king
13:32
Speaker 5: at the time. And then he was a very big advocate.
13:36
Speaker 5: He was like, this is way better, way better to
13:38
Speaker 5: use on the farm. And, you know, I don't know.
13:41
Speaker 1: Certain terrains, a donkey or a mule is the way
13:44
Speaker 1: to go.
13:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely. I don't know that you need it today.
13:47
Speaker 1: Oh, no, there's a lot of, there's a big movement
13:49
Speaker 1: toward that.
13:50
Speaker 6: Go back towards.
13:51
Speaker 1: And, in fact, during the big storm, the hurricane that
13:55
Speaker 1: rolled up in through North Carolina and eastern Kentucky.
13:58
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
13:59
Speaker 1: So there were places there that only mule trains could
14:02
Speaker 1: get to.
14:02
Speaker 6: Get out of here.
14:04
Speaker 1: And so they were using mule trains to hike in supplies.
14:07
Speaker 6: Where are they now?
14:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. So there's actually kind of a big movement in that.
14:11
Speaker 1: And in hunting, as a matter of fact, there's a
14:13
Speaker 1: bunch of squirrel hunters up in Arkansas that hunt off
14:16
Speaker 1: of mules. I mean, it fits, right? That tracks.
14:23
Speaker 6: Let's see. Moving on. Well, this is a good one
14:26
Speaker 6: and appropriate today. It is pumpkin day.
14:30
Speaker 5: They actually have a designated pumpkin day in the United States.
14:34
Speaker 6: I just celebrate the, uh, celebrate the, the, what, what
14:39
Speaker 6: is it?
14:39
Speaker 4: Is it a fruit? It's a fruit.
14:42
Speaker 6: No, it's specifically, it is a berry is a fruit.
14:45
Speaker 6: It's a gourd. It's a gourd. It's a squash.
14:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a squash essentially. And I don't, there's not
14:51
Speaker 1: any gourd that I really like. Uh, I mean, they're
14:55
Speaker 1: not aesthetically unappealing, but I just, I don't like the
14:58
Speaker 1: taste of any of the gourds. And I hate, I've
15:01
Speaker 1: always hated pumpkin carving. I don't, I just don't like
15:05
Speaker 1: the textures and the, yeah, it's just.
15:08
Speaker 5: You know, I like a regular, if you're going to,
15:10
Speaker 5: I don't mind putting regular pumpkins on your porch, but
15:12
Speaker 5: it's just like.
15:13
Speaker 6: I, you know, because it.
15:15
Speaker 1: Around here, they're going to last for about, what, if
15:17
Speaker 1: they're uncut, maybe a couple of No, no, no.
15:20
Speaker 5: You might be able to keep it all the way
15:22
Speaker 5: until after Thanksgiving if you don't cut it.
15:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you cut it, though.
15:25
Speaker 6: If you cut it, it starts turning into goo. Someone
15:27
Speaker 6: released the most famous pumpkins from pop culture. TV and
15:33
Speaker 6: movies specifically.
15:34
Speaker 5: Jack-o'-lantern from the opening credits of Halloween was number one.
15:38
Speaker 1: I mean, duh. The Great Pumpkin. I would have put
15:41
Speaker 1: that at number one, yeah.
15:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's obviously up there. The Pumpkin King. He's a
15:44
Speaker 6: man now.
15:46
Speaker 4: It's a man.
15:46
Speaker 5: He's not a pumpkin. He just happens to be a... Anyway,
15:49
Speaker 5: Nightmare Before Christmas. The Pumpkin Carriage from Cinderella. Also very,
15:53
Speaker 5: very popular. And the Smashing Pumpkins.

Speaker 1: Pumpkins.
15:59
Speaker 5: Tom Hanks from Saturday Night Live. That was also technically
16:02
Speaker 5: a pumpkin.
16:03
Speaker 1: The only pumpkin-related thing that I really like is the
16:06
Speaker 1: pumpkin chunkin'. They get those trebuchets out. Or the air cannons.
16:13
Speaker 6: For distance and speed.
16:14
Speaker 1: It's a remarkable thing.
16:16
Speaker 5: Also today on the list of holidays that are near
16:20
Speaker 5: and dear to all of our hearts, the Texas Chicken
16:22
Speaker 5: Fried Steak Day.
16:23
Speaker 1: I was hoping you weren't going to skip that one.
16:25
Speaker 6: No, I wasn't going to skip that. This is an
16:26
Speaker 6: actual holiday.
16:27
Speaker 5: The 2011 House Resolution passed October 26th as Chicken Fried
16:31
Speaker 5: Steak Day in the state of Texas. It was spearheaded
16:35
Speaker 5: by a bunch of restauranteurs who were wondering how on
16:37
Speaker 5: earth we didn't have a Chicken Fried Steak Day designated already.
16:41
Speaker 6: In the state of Texas.
16:43
Speaker 4: Every day.
16:43
Speaker 6: He's right.
16:44
Speaker 1: Every day could be a designated chicken fried steak day.
16:48
Speaker 6: Where's the best one in town? I always like asking this.
16:50
Speaker 1: There's several that I like. Sotolax, of course, has solid.
16:55
Speaker 6: That's that and Longhorn.
16:58
Speaker 1: Those are the two. You can get a little bit
17:01
Speaker 1: different one. Like Marfa has one.
17:03
Speaker 4: Oh, Marfa.
17:04
Speaker 1: Okay. Marfa's got one that I think has a pistachio
17:07
Speaker 1: crumble in the crust.
17:08
Speaker 4: That.
17:09
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not going to say that's not probably wonderful.
17:11
Speaker 5: It is too froofy. I don't need that nonsense. But
17:16
Speaker 5: if you're into that, I could see that being a
17:19
Speaker 5: pretty good outer layer.
17:19
Speaker 1: There's a number of great chicken fried steaks that you
17:22
Speaker 1: can find in a lot of different places.
17:25
Speaker 6: Jose's Tex-Mex, again.
17:27
Speaker 1: You know, you were thinking so, and I started thinking
17:29
Speaker 1: about that because I happened to stumble into some of
17:32
Speaker 1: the best enchiladas I've ever eaten in town last week. Really?
17:36
Speaker 1: And immediately afterwards. uh when when you well so i
17:41
Speaker 1: started thinking about chicken fried steak day today and i
17:44
Speaker 1: thought well i should have to have a chicken fried
17:45
Speaker 1: steak but then i was really planning on revisiting those
17:48
Speaker 1: enchiladas then i remembered take the jose's man that you
17:52
Speaker 1: did that but these are in two different locations.
17:55
Speaker 6: Take take the jose's have you ever been to.
17:56
Speaker 1: Jose's yeah it's been decades yeah go to jose's they
17:59
Speaker 1: got good enchiladas they're good enchiladas but then just you
18:02
Speaker 1: don't need them just Boom, chicken fried steak covered in gravy.
18:05
Speaker 6: But no, I want to take a lot of gravy,
18:07
Speaker 6: not regular.
18:08
Speaker 1: I want to take my chicken fried steak and I
18:10
Speaker 1: want to put not just the gravy. I want to
18:12
Speaker 1: put the enchiladas on top of the chicken fried steak.
18:15
Speaker 6: Tell them to do it. They did that.
18:16
Speaker 5: I mean, it just say, hey, I want chicken fried
18:18
Speaker 5: steak and I want the whole I want. I want
18:21
Speaker 5: an enchilada plate on top of the chicken fried steak.
18:24
Speaker 5: They'll look at you like you're crazy and be like, no,
18:26
Speaker 5: I mean the whole thing. I want you to make
18:28
Speaker 5: me a plate of enchiladas. And it's going to be
18:29
Speaker 5: so good, you're going to name it after me.
18:30
Speaker 6: I want you to scrape it onto my chicken fried steak.
18:32
Speaker 6: I want you to bring it to me. That's what
18:35
Speaker 6: I'm looking for. They'll do it.
18:36
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure they would.
18:39
Speaker 5: Also, do we have anything else? Yeah, no, chicken fried

18:56
Speaker 1: got first season of Chad Powers was good, and I
18:59
Speaker 1: just halfway through season two, and I was just like,
19:01
Speaker 1: you know what? I don't have time for this.
19:02
Speaker 6: It's all right.
19:03
Speaker 1: It's all right.
19:04
Speaker 5: It's not like life-changing stuff, but it's fine.
19:09
Speaker 1: It's okay. CM Punk is 48 years old today.
19:13
Speaker 6: He's 48.
19:14
Speaker 1: 48, the retired wrestler.
19:16
Speaker 4: No, no. No, no.
19:17
Speaker 1: Is he back?
19:18
Speaker 6: Does it say retired?
19:19
Speaker 1: It says retired.
19:20
Speaker 6: Man, the internet is slow. He's been back for about
19:22
Speaker 6: four years now.
19:23
Speaker 1: Really?
19:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, went to AEW, ruined that company. There were some
19:28
Speaker 5: HR nightmares.
19:29
Speaker 6: Then he came back to the WWE. He's been great
19:31
Speaker 6: ever since.
19:31
Speaker 1: Didn't he try to enter the UFC?
19:34
Speaker 4: He did.
19:34
Speaker 6: He did and was horrible at it. He was horrible
19:36
Speaker 6: at it.
19:37
Speaker 1: Well, as they go.
19:37
Speaker 6: He's really, I mean, currently, you know, again, at 48,
19:41
Speaker 6: a little bit.
19:43
Speaker 1: You lose a step.
19:44
Speaker 5: I mean, I can't imagine doing that job at 48.
19:48
Speaker 5: That seems like you'd want to. I mean, my body hurts,
19:51
Speaker 5: and I don't do anything, let alone get thrown off
19:54
Speaker 5: of turned buckles.
19:55
Speaker 1: Well, they're professionally medicated, aren't they?
19:58
Speaker 6: No, those days, well.
20:00
Speaker 5: Well, he has made a career being– I don't know
20:04
Speaker 5: if it's character. I assume because he talks about it
20:07
Speaker 5: so dang much that he doesn't– he's straight-edged and doesn't
20:09
Speaker 5: do anything, anything. And the thing is they say the
20:12
Speaker 5: kids today that are in the wrestling game, they don't
20:15
Speaker 5: really party like they did back in the days. They
20:17
Speaker 5: just kind of are nerds, which of course they always were.
20:20
Speaker 5: I mean they're theater kids who lift weights, right? So
20:23
Speaker 5: they go back to their hotel room. They play video games. Like,
20:27
Speaker 5: that's just, they're not, you know.
20:29
Speaker 1: That's just, that ain't the same. No, no.

Speaker 1: kind of, you know.
20:41
Speaker 6: Eight beers in. Yeah.
20:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
20:43
Speaker 5: And you're not sure. You're not really sure what his
20:46
Speaker 5: home life looks like. That's the kind of wrestler.
20:48
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I want.
20:50
Speaker 4: Exactly.
20:50
Speaker 1: John Heder is 49 today. Napoleon Dynamite.
20:54
Speaker 5: I watched that movie last week. It is still just

21:44

22:21
Speaker 6: Ozona had a really good chicken fry steak. Ozona also
22:25
Speaker 6: did the.
22:25
Speaker 5: Smothered in chili and onions and all that. Kind of
22:28
Speaker 5: putting stuff on top of it. I've got to give
22:30
Speaker 5: them credit for that. And it was legitimately a very
22:33
Speaker 5: good chicken fry steak.
22:35
Speaker 6: Also, moving on.
22:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, Michael Vieth confirms the Jose's is the way to go.
22:43
Speaker 6: But with that said, Seth, Will has a tendency.
22:46
Speaker 5: To do this. I think it's an old radio habit.
22:48
Speaker 5: He says, where were the enchiladas Will stumbled across? When
22:52
Speaker 5: you say, like, I'm talking about world killer enchiladas.
22:55
Speaker 1: They were different.
22:56
Speaker 6: I've got to tell them where it is, homie.
22:57
Speaker 1: This is my go-to breakfast taco place.
23:00
Speaker 6: Okay.
23:00
Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
23:01
Speaker 1: And I'm known.
23:02
Speaker 5: Oh, are you trying to gatekeep the breakfast taco place, too?
23:04
Speaker 8: It's okay.
23:05
Speaker 1: It's not because I don't want to. Look, I want
23:07
Speaker 1: to improve their business. Don't get me wrong. These people
23:09
Speaker 1: that I do business with, I love. Yeah. But the
23:13
Speaker 1: other hand is I don't want the lines to get
23:15
Speaker 1: too long.
23:15
Speaker 6: That's what I mean.
23:17
Speaker 16: I understand.
23:17
Speaker 1: I'll let it out. Okay, so. I met Lisa back
23:20
Speaker 1: when I worked at the Harley Davidson dealership, and she
23:24
Speaker 1: was selling tacos out of the back of her car. Heck, yeah.
23:27
Speaker 1: And then now she has the La Familia's in College Station.
23:31
Speaker 1: So good. And their breakfast tacos, like I said, my go-to.
23:37
Speaker 1: I have had some lunch tacos there, but for some
23:39
Speaker 1: reason I had never ordered the enchiladas in the past.
23:42
Speaker 17: Nice.
23:42
Speaker 1: I did so last week, and I was stunned. I mean,
23:46
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was just because I wasn't
23:48
Speaker 1: expecting it, The enchilada sauce, the gravy was perhaps, I mean,
23:52
Speaker 1: because there's only so much you can do with a
23:54
Speaker 1: tortilla and cheese. It's all in the gravy. The gravy
23:56
Speaker 1: was stellar.
23:58
Speaker 6: Jay texts in a picture of what I believe to
24:01
Speaker 6: be a plate.
24:02
Speaker 5: He says, cracker barrel, chicken fried steaks, and eggs were
24:05
Speaker 5: pretty good. Now, that's great, and I appreciate that, Jay.
24:10
Speaker 1: What is, wait a minute.
24:11
Speaker 6: Go ahead.
24:12
Speaker 5: So what I've got here, what it looks like to
24:14
Speaker 5: me is this is a takeout bowl.
24:17
Speaker 1: It's got a chicken fried steak.
24:18
Speaker 6: I can see a chicken fried steak.
24:20
Speaker 1: And the hash brown casserole. Yeah. And then on top
24:24
Speaker 1: of that, it's slathered in ketchup.
24:27
Speaker 5: That's what I immediately saw. It's slathered in ketchup.
24:31
Speaker 1: And then the gravy. Thin gravy. And then a copious amount.
24:37
Speaker 1: I've gone that deep in the Cholula before.
24:39
Speaker 6: Now, that I get. The ketchup is freaking me out, Jay.
24:43
Speaker 6: The ketchup is.
24:43
Speaker 1: frankly if you want the ketchup to stay at least
24:46
Speaker 1: in my mind only on the hash brown casserole you
24:49
Speaker 1: want to separate.
24:50
Speaker 6: I don't even know about that man I don't even
24:53
Speaker 6: know about that. If you don't have eggs. That's a
24:55
Speaker 6: meal I don't know.
24:56
Speaker 1: If you don't have eggs, you need a little bit
24:59
Speaker 1: of x-ray in the hash brown casserole. You got gravy. Yeah,
25:02
Speaker 1: but I would have skipped the ketchup, throw a couple
25:07
Speaker 1: fried eggs on top.
25:08
Speaker 6: That's my, yeah.
25:10
Speaker 1: And then ask for a side of angioplasty.
25:13
Speaker 6: Explain to me why that is the go-to, Jay. I
25:16
Speaker 6: just don't.
25:17
Speaker 5: I've never seen that move done before, and I'm.
25:20
Speaker 6: Suspicious of it.
25:22
Speaker 5: Weather today, pretty nice. Starting out in the mid-50s, getting
25:25
Speaker 5: up into the low 80s. Don't get too used to
25:27

28:44
Speaker 21: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
28:48
Speaker 21: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
28:51
Speaker 21: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
28:55
Speaker 21: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
28:58
Speaker 21: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
29:02
Speaker 21: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
29:06
Speaker 21: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
29:09
Speaker 21: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
29:13
Speaker 16: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
29:17
Speaker 16: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
29:20
Speaker 16: drug cartels.
29:21
Speaker 1: He banned a state income tax.
29:22
Speaker 16: So you keep more of your money and Texas remains
29:25
Speaker 16: number one in job creations. And Governor Abbott keeps you
29:29
Speaker 16: safe by fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals
29:32

38:45
Speaker 6: What do you think?
38:45
Speaker 1: Well, it's got to be the flockers.
38:47
Speaker 6: The flock cameras, Will. The flock cameras.
38:51
Speaker 5: License plate readers that track where they take pictures of
38:55
Speaker 5: your license plate and if someone wants to search the database.
38:59
Speaker 6: Did you know there's another level?
39:01
Speaker 1: Another level?
39:01
Speaker 6: Another level in Tacoma, Washington. They have a different kind
39:04
Speaker 6: of camera.
39:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do. And it's one that they've tried to
39:06
Speaker 1: put up here in the past and that the community
39:08
Speaker 1: managed to get rid of.
39:09
Speaker 6: It got, well, man, my recollection of, well, Are you
39:14
Speaker 6: talking about red light cameras?
39:15
Speaker 1: I was talking about red light cameras.
39:16
Speaker 6: These are not red light cameras.
39:18
Speaker 1: No, these are speed cameras.
39:19
Speaker 6: Speed sensitive cameras.
39:23
Speaker 5: Do you know how many people got caught speeding by
39:26
Speaker 5: these cameras in Tacoma, Washington today?
39:30
Speaker 6: Over the past.
39:33
Speaker 4: Month?
39:34
Speaker 1: I do know. Yeah, it's, what is it? A hundred thousand?
39:38
Speaker 4: No, no, no.
39:39
Speaker 1: It was 400,000.
39:39
Speaker 4: 400,000 residents.
39:46
Speaker 5: Of Tacoma, Washington have been captured speeding by these cameras
39:53
Speaker 5: that are meant to detect speeders.
39:57
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know if that is, you know, one
40:00
Speaker 1: person gets multiples because you would figure people travel the same.
40:04
Speaker 6: Oh, good point, good point.
40:06
Speaker 1: But still 400,000 incidents of speed.
40:08
Speaker 6: Listen to this.
40:09
Speaker 21: I can probably count at least... 10 wrecks.
40:14
Speaker 1: There's a hole in that fence right there.
40:15
Speaker 4: The other night, a car went through it.
40:17
Speaker 1: Everybody's beat.
40:19
Speaker 4: Life shouldn't have a cost on it.
40:20
Speaker 6: It should be a no-brainer.
40:21
Speaker 1: Thank God they finally did something. They're happy about this.
40:25
Speaker 1: They are.
40:26
Speaker 6: There are people in the community that are happy.
40:28
Speaker 1: Well, there's going to be only about, what, 100? Did
40:32
Speaker 1: I read that correctly?
40:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, they can't.
40:33
Speaker 5: So the police department said, like, hey, this is interesting.
40:37
Speaker 4: But we can't.
40:40
Speaker 6: We can't issue that many tickets.
40:43
Speaker 1: It's just, it's physically impossible.
40:45
Speaker 6: We can't, we can't do anything about this. We can
40:48
Speaker 6: maybe get a few of them and then.
40:50
Speaker 1: Then, you know, but they're going to give out a
40:51
Speaker 1: hundred tickets, like a lot of tickets. This, this makes
40:56
Speaker 1: me think about the saying, never going to hold, they
40:59
Speaker 1: can't stop us all.
41:00
Speaker 6: They can't stop us all. Here's the other thing.
41:02
Speaker 5: It's your red light cameras, uh, that lasted about, I
41:06
Speaker 5: want to say a couple of years before the court
41:08
Speaker 5: got involved and was like, hey, that is grossly unconstitutional.
41:12
Speaker 5: You can't have a camera issue someone a ticket. To
41:15
Speaker 5: my knowledge, that's still– that's still the state of affairs.
41:19
Speaker 6: Like, I mean, you can use it in– I think–
41:21
Speaker 6: and we're not even sure if you can use it
41:23
Speaker 6: in an investigation, Will.
41:24
Speaker 1: Now, you can't.
41:25
Speaker 6: We're not even sure.
41:25
Speaker 1: They do. I can tell you that, that those cameras
41:29
Speaker 1: that were capturing the red light stuff, the cameras– still
41:33
Speaker 1: existed afterwards.
41:34
Speaker 6: Oh yeah they they didn't they didn't come down.
41:36
Speaker 1: They just used it for traffic control yeah maybe maybe
41:40
Speaker 1: seeing if there was a perp in the area.
41:42
Speaker 5: You know we'll see just know there's no cameras can
41:46
Speaker 5: do different things they can they can apparently.
41:48
Speaker 1: Detect 400 000 do you think.
41:51
Speaker 5: It's made up do you think they just made it
41:54
Speaker 5: up to make you think You know what I mean?
41:57
Speaker 5: It's like putting an ADT sign in your home and
42:00
Speaker 5: not doing anything else after that.
42:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, and part of it was they wanted to deter it.
42:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, they want you to think.
42:06
Speaker 1: And I think the article, if I'm remembering correctly, the
42:10
Speaker 1: article says that speeding incidents that they tracked were down 12%.
42:16
Speaker 1: I don't think that's enough to really move the needle.
42:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not quite.
42:20
Speaker 1: Not out of 400,000 speeders. All right.
42:23
Speaker 6: I'll take a break back after this.
42:24
Speaker 9: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
42:26
Speaker 9: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
42:29

Speaker 9: simply by fragrance. Walk around any Texas landscape, smell the
43:09
Speaker 9: aroma of steeping tea. You'll be standing beneath a large
43:12
Speaker 9: sycamore tree. You'll never forget that aroma, and you'll always
43:15
Speaker 9: associate it with sycamores, even though absolutely no flowers were involved.
43:20
Speaker 9: Begging your indulgence, I'd like to describe a few of
43:23
Speaker 9: my favorite fragrant plants. Now, these are just one guy's opinions.
43:26
Speaker 9: I'll be back with details right after this message. My
43:30
Speaker 9: book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe it's
43:33
Speaker 9: the best work of my career. I self-published it. It's
43:36
Speaker 9: directly from me to your mailbox. There's no publishing house,
43:40
Speaker 9: no retail markups to run up your cost. As I
43:43
Speaker 9: close out the final printing, here's an offer I've never
43:46
Speaker 9: made before. While supplies last, I've reduced the price from $ 38. 95
43:51
Speaker 9: on the jacket to the lowest price ever. Only $ 24. 95.
43:55
Speaker 27: It's a high-quality hardback book, 344 pages, 840 of my photographs.
44:02
Speaker 27: It covers every aspect of landscapes, lawns, flower, fruit, and
44:05
Speaker 27: vegetable gardening for every county in Texas. A 48-page perpetual calendar.
44:11
Speaker 27: It tells you when to plant, prune, feed, and protect
44:13
Speaker 27: all the plants that you're growing. That's just $ 24. 95. A
44:18
Speaker 27: signed copy, satisfaction guaranteed. Order it at neilsperry.com. N-E-I-L-S-P-E-R-R-Y dot com.
44:28
Speaker 9: So if we're talking about some of my favorite plants,
44:31
Speaker 9: as far as fragrance is concerned, I want to start
44:33
Speaker 9: with winter honeysuckle. It blooms in January. It's shrub form
44:36
Speaker 9: of honeysuckle. However, it is not an especially handsome shrub
44:40
Speaker 9: as shrubs go. So plant it toward the back of
44:42
Speaker 9: your garden. Set it where it will catch the winter
44:45
Speaker 9: breezes to carry its fragrance toward your door. The scientific
44:48
Speaker 9: name says it all. La Nisera Fragrantissima. Then you have
44:53
Speaker 9: violas and pansies. Actually, you could also include old-fashioned violets
44:57
Speaker 9: in the same group. All bloom in late winter and
44:59
Speaker 9: into the spring, and all of them have the same
45:02
Speaker 9: heady fragrance.
45:04
Speaker 1: Use them near a door or walk. They'll fill the
45:06
Speaker 1: air with.
45:07
Speaker 9: Their sweet smells. And a little bit later, into the
45:11
Speaker 9: early spring, pinks. Related to carnations, pinks have the same
45:14
Speaker 9: clove-like aroma. When you plant a couple of dozen of
45:17
Speaker 9: them in the same area, the fragrance will become very evident.
45:20
Speaker 9: They're great annuals in Texas conditions. Be warned, however, that
45:24
Speaker 9: their nursery stakes sometimes will describe them as perennials, but
45:28
Speaker 9: that's not true in Texas. Then I love Mexican plum.
45:32
Speaker 9: Some might find this native tree to be an unusual entry,
45:35
Speaker 9: but I have one directly off our patio courtyard. While
45:38
Speaker 9: most fruit trees aren't especially fragrant, this one is fabulous.
45:42
Speaker 1: I love it.
45:43
Speaker 9: And star jasmine follows just a little later into the spring.
45:46
Speaker 9: This is my favorite fragrance. It's a zone 8 vine,
45:49
Speaker 9: so it's adapted to part of Texas, not.
45:51
Speaker 1: To all of Texas.
45:52
Speaker 9: It's a cousin, a sister to Asian jasmine, which seldom blooms.
45:56
Speaker 9: Star jasmine has bright white blossoms, look like quarter-sized pinwheels.
46:01
Speaker 9: They cover the stems in the spring and sporadically the
46:03
Speaker 9: rest of the season.
46:04
Speaker 1: Oh, they're fragrant.
46:06
Speaker 9: Old garden roses are wonderful, and you'll find a lot
46:09
Speaker 9: of great varieties of antique roses in the marketplace now.
46:12
Speaker 9: And they have a whole assortment of fragrances. I encourage
46:16
Speaker 9: you to go when they're in bloom. and sniff to
46:18
Speaker 9: your heart's content. If you're in a part of Texas
46:21
Speaker 9: where Texas mountain laurel will grow well, it smells like
46:25
Speaker 9: grape Kool-Aid in the spring when it blooms, and the
46:27
Speaker 9: panicles of purple flowers are absolutely beautiful. Gardenias are a no-brainer.
46:33
Speaker 9: You knew that gardenias would be in my list of
46:35
Speaker 9: favorite fragrant plants. One that you might not have expected
46:38
Speaker 9: is Eliagnus. It blooms in the fall. The flowers are
46:41
Speaker 9: not beautiful, but oh my goodness gracious, the fragrance of
46:45
Speaker 9: them is heavenly. I'm Neal Sperry. When you're looking for
46:49
Speaker 9: privacy in our next Plant Talk Texas, until then, thanks
46:52
Speaker 9: for listening.
46:53
Speaker 1: Happy gardening.
46:54
Speaker 28: For years, Bryan residents have heard about HEB coming to
46:57
Speaker 28: Booneville Road, but HEB never announced a construction timeline for
47:00
Speaker 28: a new store at that location. When City Hall speaks,
47:02
Speaker 28: residents should know what's confirmed, what isn't, and what's actually
47:05
Speaker 28: in writing. I'm Rafael Pena. As mayor, I'll verify the
47:08
Speaker 28: facts before making announcements and communicate clearly with the people
47:11
Speaker 28: of Bryan. The citizens of Bryan deserve a City Hall
47:13
Speaker 28: that speaks plainly. That's effective communication. That's good governance. I'm

Speaker 4: Good morning.
48:09
Speaker 30: I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update on 1620-945-WTAW.
48:12
Speaker 30: The Aggie football team fell in a back-and-forth battle to Alabama,
48:19
Speaker 30: losing 31-20 on Saturday afternoon. The Maroon and White entered
48:23
Speaker 30: halftime tied at 17-17 but were unable to generate momentum
48:27
Speaker 30: needed to pull ahead in the second half. Head coach
48:30
Speaker 30: Mike Elko recapped the game.
48:32
Speaker 7: I think the story on offense obviously is the start,
48:35
Speaker 7: you know, the two turnovers leading directly to seven points,
48:39
Speaker 7: put it together for a little while after that and
48:41
Speaker 7: then just really couldn't get anything going in the second
48:43
Speaker 7: half and then got to a point again where we
48:45
Speaker 7: were down and trying to chase a game and that's not,
48:48
Speaker 7: we're not built to do that and That's on me
48:51
Speaker 7: as a coach. We're not where we need to be
48:53
Speaker 7: at all in that regard. And so defensively, just extremely
48:57
Speaker 7: poor play in the secondary, extremely poor eye discipline, extremely poor,
49:01
Speaker 7: all of it. Too many explosive plays, too many uncontested
49:04
Speaker 7: explosive plays, and so that was the story of the game.
49:06
Speaker 30: Up next, the Aggies stay on the road to continue
49:09
Speaker 30: SEC play and will be facing South Carolina. The game
49:13
Speaker 30: is set for November 7th with an afternoon kickoff. The
49:16
Speaker 30: A & M men's basketball team was edged out by
49:19
Speaker 30: SMU yesterday afternoon in the closing minutes, falling 94-88 in
49:23
Speaker 30: the preseason exhibition at the Moody Coliseum. Head coach Bucky
49:28
Speaker 30: McMillan recapped the Aggies performance.
49:30
Speaker 4: Some good things we did.
49:32
Speaker 8: We were way better on offense the second half, moving
49:34
Speaker 8: the ball and making half-second decisions. I don't even know
49:36
Speaker 8: what team that was for us the first half.
49:38
Speaker 1: We didn't play like that.
49:39
Speaker 8: I didn't even practice like that all fall. This is
49:41
Speaker 8: why this is great to do. And then the second half,
49:43
Speaker 8: we started moving the ball a ton better. And we
49:46
Speaker 8: actually should have scored more points than we did. There
49:48
Speaker 8: was a lot of points we left out there when
49:50
Speaker 8: we had some good looks at it. I mean, we're
49:51
Speaker 8: a much better three-point shooting team than we shot. And
49:54
Speaker 8: so that was good. If there was something on offense
49:57
Speaker 8: that you just got to You can't play one-on-one ball
49:59
Speaker 8: to start the game. And then you also can't turn
50:01
Speaker 8: the ball over the way we did. Defensively, we actually
50:03
Speaker 8: played good on defense. People are going to say, well,
50:05
Speaker 8: they scored 94 points. Yeah, but there's a lot of
50:07
Speaker 8: possessions in that game. And we held them to a
50:10
Speaker 8: point of possession, which in someone's home gym, that doesn't
50:13
Speaker 8: happen very much. So analytically, we were good. What we
50:16
Speaker 8: got to do, and this is why you do this
50:18
Speaker 8: with refs and everything, you don't get a, we got
50:19
Speaker 8: to stop fouling. You can't give a team 43 points
50:23
Speaker 8: at the free throw line. You just, you can't do that. So, um, Again,
50:26
Speaker 8: this is practice for us right now and learning from it,
50:29
Speaker 8: so it was good to see. We got a lot
50:31
Speaker 8: out of that, and I appreciate SMU doing this so
50:33
Speaker 8: we can all get something out of that, play a
50:35
Speaker 8: lot of guys, and see what we like and what
50:37
Speaker 8: we don't like.
50:38
Speaker 30: Some notable stats from the game were the Aggies finished
50:41
Speaker 30: the game shooting 80% from the free throw line, and
50:44
Speaker 30: the defense recorded 16 steals, forced 20 SMU turnovers, and
50:48
Speaker 30: blocked five shots. Next up, the Maroon and White will
50:51
Speaker 30: be hosting Alabama State at Reed Arena on November 3rd.
50:55

52:43
Speaker 4: Good morning, guys.
52:44
Speaker 5: Infomaniacs on Monday morning and a nice day. Once again,
52:47
Speaker 5: starting out in the mid 50s, getting up to the
52:50
Speaker 5: low 80s. And we'll do the same thing tomorrow, just
52:52

52:59
Speaker 6: Coming up next week.
53:02
Speaker 1: Sorry, this Wednesday.
53:02
Speaker 6: Now, moving on.
53:05
Speaker 5: I do want to read this text message from Lori
53:08
Speaker 5: because this is called working smarter, not harder. When I
53:12
Speaker 5: was stationed in Germany back in 1989, they had cameras
53:14
Speaker 5: set up back in 1989. Yeah. On the side of
53:17
Speaker 5: the road, it would take your picture for speeding and
53:19
Speaker 5: then about a half mile down the road, oh, look
53:21
Speaker 5: who's there.
53:22
Speaker 6: Police officer ready to pull you over. and you can
53:25
Speaker 6: use it as the evidence.
53:26
Speaker 1: That's how you do it. They were fine with that
53:29
Speaker 1: system over there. Speed cameras in Europe are everywhere.
53:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's Autobahn country. They don't play.
53:36
Speaker 1: I mean, some parts, the Autobahn, there's some pretty wide
53:41
Speaker 1: open areas there, but in every place else, man, if
53:44
Speaker 1: you speed, and the guys on the Grand Tour will
53:48
Speaker 1: talk about it, there's no speeding in most European countries.
53:53
Speaker 8: Yeah.
53:54
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're going to do it again.
53:57
Speaker 5: That's the way. That's the way you get. You have
54:00
Speaker 5: to put the guys out there. They actually have to
54:02
Speaker 5: write you a ticket on the spot of their wallet.
54:03
Speaker 1: I would think so. Either that or you get 399,999
54:08
Speaker 1: of your friends and you all drive through the speed
54:10
Speaker 1: camera area. They can't catch us all.
54:13
Speaker 5: You think they got an AI involved in the issuance
54:16
Speaker 5: of tickets yet?
54:18
Speaker 1: No, but soon.
54:18
Speaker 6: An autonomous bot.
54:20
Speaker 1: Because, yeah, they'll be able to ticket all 400,000 of
54:22
Speaker 1: them instead of just 100. Crazy.
54:25
Speaker 6: Let me ramp that up in a hurry, man. Good night. Well,
54:28
Speaker 6: thank you guys for being here. We appreciate it.
