2:56
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure it's going to be kind of
2:58
Speaker 3: like this at some point in the future, but the
3:01
Speaker 3: day before the cold front. is how we will refer
3:04
Speaker 3: to this today.
3:05
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to refer to it as
3:07
Speaker 1: the day before we're finally done with political advertising.
3:10
Speaker 3: The day before America changes. Because Grand Theft Auto... No. Sorry,
3:17

3:55
Speaker 3: to cold front coming through tomorrow, it's also November, which
3:59
Speaker 3: means tomorrow is election day. Uh, and you are going
4:03
Speaker 3: to get, by Wednesday, you are going to be left
4:06
Speaker 3: with so much of us yapping on this radio station. Like, we're, like,
4:12
Speaker 3: I was actually, I was looking at it this morning,
4:14
Speaker 3: I was like, man, we are going to have to
4:15
Speaker 3: come up with so much more content. Yeah, guys, be
4:18
Speaker 3: careful what you wish for. One, two, three, four. different
4:25
Speaker 3: election message. I mean, maybe they could, you know what
4:28
Speaker 3: would be great? Drop a little more money in the
4:30
Speaker 3: pot and then run some thank you ads.
4:32
Speaker 1: Some thank you ads. That would be very much, that
4:35
Speaker 1: would be a great idea. That would be on track
4:37
Speaker 1: for people in the South.
4:38
Speaker 3: Kind of just work it back a little bit so
4:40
Speaker 3: it's not just so drastic where all we're getting is
4:42
Speaker 3: screamed at and then within a one day point, everyone's
4:46
Speaker 3: going to shut up. Or maybe that's what people want.
4:49
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe we're just sick of the whole thing.
4:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, it depends on outcomes. People are going to be It.
4:53
Speaker 3: Doesn't depend on outcomes. It's all the same. It's all
4:57
Speaker 3: the same, Will. If it's outcome A, then population portion
5:03
Speaker 3: B is going to be... That's what I'm saying. If
5:07
Speaker 3: it's outcome B, population portion A is going to be...
5:11
Speaker 3: That was bad.
5:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to point out... I want to
5:17
Speaker 1: point out, both groups make the same noise.
5:19
Speaker 3: Yes, it is. Yes. Yes, Will. Because Tucker was accurate.
5:23
Speaker 3: It's the exact same noise that we've been hearing since
5:27
Speaker 3: at this point, as long as I can actually remember.
5:31
Speaker 3: But yeah, so one more day of that nonsense. That's right.
5:35
Speaker 3: The weather changing is going to be spectacular. The weather
5:37
Speaker 3: change is going to be real nice, man. Like I said,
5:39
Speaker 3: if we can just get through Tuesday, it'll be fall.
5:42
Speaker 3: It'll feel like fall. And you got a straight shot
5:45
Speaker 3: to Thanksgiving.
5:46
Speaker 1: That's right.
5:47
Speaker 3: You got a straight shot. To turkey and stuffing and
5:50
Speaker 3: football and green bean casserole. Made sure my turkey order
5:53
Speaker 3: was in order.
5:54
Speaker 1: Working on my ham order today.
5:57
Speaker 3: Oh, you're adding a ham order?
5:58
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
5:59
Speaker 3: Not just turkey.
6:00
Speaker 1: I'm much more of a ham guy. Even though the
6:02
Speaker 1: smoked turkeys we get out of East Texas.
6:04
Speaker 3: That's the thing. You get a good turkey. I'm always
6:06
Speaker 3: a ham guy when it's a regular turkey. Like when
6:09
Speaker 3: it's just a turkey that came out of the oven.
6:11
Speaker 3: That's not to say... I don't appreciate that. And a
6:15
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving meal, I will always enjoy it and be very
6:18
Speaker 3: grateful for it. But come on. If the turkey ain't
6:21
Speaker 3: fried or smoked, then what's the point? So, yes, in
6:25
Speaker 3: those situations, I got to have a ham or I
6:28
Speaker 3: got to have something else. But you've got, like, the
6:31
Speaker 3: elite turkey coming. Pretty much. And you're even saying, even
6:34
Speaker 3: with that, with the smoked, like, the world-famous smoked turkey from,
6:38
Speaker 3: I forget where it's from.
6:38
Speaker 1: It's Greenbrier, Greenberg, so he's in Tyler.
6:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of those. Like, even with that, you say.
6:46
Speaker 3: you got to have a ham. Oh, yeah, because I
6:48
Speaker 3: want leftovers.
6:49
Speaker 1: I don't want that turkey carcass to be picked clean
6:53
Speaker 1: because that's going to be the base for my gumbo.
6:56
Speaker 3: So you got to have a good chunk of that
6:58
Speaker 3: thing left. So this isn't necessarily, hey, this turkey isn't
7:01
Speaker 3: good enough. I got to keep throwing food at the
7:04
Speaker 3: family so that there's something left.
7:05
Speaker 1: And then that leftover honey-baked ham, there's lots of things
7:08
Speaker 1: you can do with that.
7:10
Speaker 3: Dude, yeah. I mean, please, you're not going to. Honey-baked ham,
7:13
Speaker 3: you're never going to. be mad about having extra of that.
7:17
Speaker 3: They'll probably have 30 people at the house too. Sandwiches,
7:20
Speaker 3: more sandwiches, throw it in things. Put the ham bone
7:24
Speaker 3: in some beans or some greens. Can you throw ham
7:27
Speaker 3: in gumbo too? Oh, sure. Chunks of that bad boy. Again,
7:33
Speaker 3: all you gotta do is get through tomorrow.
7:35
Speaker 4: I just want to revert back.
7:36
Speaker 3: Today and tomorrow.
7:37
Speaker 1: You actually had a question there. Can you put blank
7:40
Speaker 1: in the gumbo? And the answer is nearly always yes.
7:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. And it felt funny when
7:49
Speaker 3: I was saying it. I was like, why would you?
7:52
Speaker 4: It's early yet.
7:53
Speaker 3: Time changes mess you up some. What is the thing?
7:55
Speaker 3: Is there anything? Yeah, no, you're set. Just don't ask.
7:59
Speaker 3: We're good. Just don't ask. So, yes, guys, Monday is here,
8:03
Speaker 3: November the 2nd. Remember, you can call us or text
8:06
Speaker 3: us or vent your frustration, whatever. Scream into the abyss.

8:18

8:22
Speaker 3: being here.

Speaker 6: Place 5. I'm a College Station attorney, small business owner,
8:30

Speaker 6: safety comes first. I'm proud to be endorsed by the
8:42
Speaker 6: College Station Police Officers Association and the College Station Firefighters.
8:47
Speaker 6: As our city grows, we need intentional, disciplined leadership. That
8:51
Speaker 6: means fixing roads, easing traffic, planning ahead for water drainage
8:55
Speaker 6: and infrastructure. It means responsible budgets, holding the line on taxes,
9:00
Speaker 6: demanding transparency for every taxpayer dollar, supporting local businesses, creating opportunities,
9:06
Speaker 6: and cutting unnecessary red tape. Let's protect what makes College
9:09

10:45
Speaker 11: transition them.
10:46
Speaker 10: If you deny your child's gender identity, that's incredibly harmful.
10:50
Speaker 4: It's abusive.
10:51
Speaker 11: He didn't just say it. He has voted for it
10:53
Speaker 11: to be classified as abuse. And that means they can
10:56
Speaker 11: call CPS on you if you don't transition your kids.
10:59
Speaker 10: There's only one person who can determine a child's gender identity,
11:02
Speaker 10: and that's the child. Blessed are the trans children. To
11:06
Speaker 10: the trans kids watching at home, I just want to
11:08
Speaker 10: say I love you. Modern science obviously recognizes that there
11:13
Speaker 10: are many more than.
11:14
Speaker 3: Two biological sexes.

11:42
Speaker 13: Thursday, November 5th.
11:43
Speaker 3: It's the 15th annual Hiring Red, White & You hiring event.
11:46
Speaker 13: 10 to 2, the Center for Regional Services, 3991 East
11:49
Speaker 13: 29th Street in Bryan.
11:50

11:52

Speaker 13: Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals

12:12
Speaker 8: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
12:16
Speaker 8: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
12:19
Speaker 8: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
12:23
Speaker 8: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
12:26
Speaker 8: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
12:29
Speaker 8: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
12:34
Speaker 8: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
12:37
Speaker 8: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
12:41
Speaker 16: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
12:45
Speaker 16: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
12:48
Speaker 16: drug cartels. He banned a state income tax so you
12:51
Speaker 16: keep more of your money and Texas remains number one
12:54
Speaker 16: in job creation. And Governor Abbott keeps you safe by
12:57
Speaker 16: fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals locked up.
13:01
Speaker 3: That's the choice, Texas.
13:02
Speaker 16: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
13:05
Speaker 16: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.
13:08
Speaker 14: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.
13:11
Speaker 1: We're in the CC Electric studio. Your home is our home.

Speaker 3: 1620-945-WTAW. Again, 979-695-1620 is Our phone number today. Thank you
13:27
Speaker 3: for being here. Let's pick some reasons to celebrate in
13:30
Speaker 3: addition to the ones we've already listed. I eat just
13:34
Speaker 3: one day until election day and two days until the
13:37
Speaker 3: election is essentially resolved. I mean, to the best of
13:41
Speaker 3: our knowledge.
13:41
Speaker 4: I know.
13:42
Speaker 3: Say that now.
13:42
Speaker 1: Don't you remember back? What was it?
13:44
Speaker 14: 2001 in Florida.
13:45
Speaker 1: Election went on and on.
13:47
Speaker 4: That's right.
13:48
Speaker 3: I was listening to something this weekend that said that
13:50
Speaker 3: election night is It's like, yeah, it's so crazy. Election
13:54
Speaker 3: night used to be a thing where you'd go to
13:55
Speaker 3: bed knowing who won. Yeah, but those elections were all
13:58
Speaker 3: like 10 to 20 points apart, bro. It's easy to
14:02
Speaker 3: call them when they're 10 to 20 points apart. It's
14:05
Speaker 3: when everything is 50-50, it takes forever. That's the problem.
14:09
Speaker 4: I guess.
14:10
Speaker 3: But yes, 2001, that one, I forgot how long that
14:14
Speaker 3: one went. Months.
14:15
Speaker 4: Months.
14:16
Speaker 3: I mean, there's still, you can find TV movies about
14:19
Speaker 3: it on like HBO from back in the day. Amazing,
14:23
Speaker 3: amazing length of time.
14:24
Speaker 1: If I was the type to dress up in a
14:27
Speaker 1: Halloween costume and I dressed up as a hanging chat.
14:30
Speaker 3: I get it. Yeah, but few people would. That's the
14:34
Speaker 3: ultimate way to show. how much you have actually experienced
14:38
Speaker 3: in this life.
14:38
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say that's the ultimate
14:40
Speaker 1: way to show how.
14:41
Speaker 3: Old you are. No, no, no.
14:42
Speaker 1: Cultural references from a quarter century ago.
14:45
Speaker 3: You could see some youth that would be like, oh, hey, Chad,
14:47
Speaker 3: I read about that. You never know. I don't know
14:50
Speaker 3: how into the history the kids are. Probably not very. Yeah,
14:56
Speaker 3: not good on that one. Let's get started with some days.
15:00
Speaker 3: of significance today. I want to start off with one
15:03
Speaker 3: that is really only specific to us to the point
15:05
Speaker 3: where it creeped me out that I found it. Broadcast
15:08
Speaker 3: Traffic Professionals Day. Is it really? We're going to pull
15:11
Speaker 3: back the fourth wall.
15:12
Speaker 1: Look at there.
15:13
Speaker 17: It is.
15:13
Speaker 3: Pull back the fourth wall on this, guys, because when
15:15
Speaker 3: I say Broadcast Traffic Professionals Day, most of you are
15:19
Speaker 3: going to think, oh, the person who reads the traffic
15:23
Speaker 3: in big cities when you're listening to the radio and
15:25
Speaker 3: watching TV.
15:26
Speaker 18: No!
15:26
Speaker 1: Honest mistake, but no, that's not it.
15:28
Speaker 3: It recognizes the people responsible for organizing advertising schedules, managing
15:34
Speaker 3: commercial inventory, and ensuring commercials air correctly. I would call
15:38
Speaker 3: it the second most thankless job at a radio station.
15:43
Speaker 1: Probably so.
15:43
Speaker 3: Followed by or beaten out only by the production director,
15:48
Speaker 3: who's the person in charge of making all. These jobs will,
15:52
Speaker 3: these are two jobs that will drive you insane. Yeah,
15:55
Speaker 3: they will. And they're both critical.
15:56
Speaker 4: Yeah.
15:57
Speaker 3: And if you don't have them. You don't have a
15:59
Speaker 3: radio station. So, yes, I am glad we have a
16:02
Speaker 3: day to honor our broadcast traffic professionals day, even if
16:05
Speaker 3: that's maybe a solid one, maybe what would say three
16:11
Speaker 3: in Bryan College Station. Do we have three that do
16:13
Speaker 3: that job anymore? I would hazard to guess that we've
16:18
Speaker 3: got two. I'm betting there's one particular group that. Doesn't
16:21
Speaker 3: have a live body here that does that. No, I
16:23
Speaker 3: think the AI does the traffic scheduling for the other group.
16:28
Speaker 3: If I'm incorrect. But there are two that still have
16:31
Speaker 3: people that are probably punching them in. Probably one on TV, too.
16:34
Speaker 1: Probably so.
16:35
Speaker 3: One TV station that probably still has one. And we
16:37
Speaker 3: love all of you. Cookie Monster Day. Widely celebrated as
16:43
Speaker 3: Cookie Monster's birthday.
16:46
Speaker 4: He has a birthday?
16:47
Speaker 1: Well, I guess in a non-traditional sense.
16:50
Speaker 3: Well, you know how he'll be celebrating. C is for cookie. Yeah,
16:54
Speaker 3: that's good enough for me. National Deviled Egg Day. Preach.
16:58
Speaker 3: Is this not the greatest party food slash appetizer that's
17:04
Speaker 3: ever been cooked?
17:04
Speaker 1: I will eat a plate full of deviled eggs. I mean,
17:07
Speaker 1: I grew up on the deviled eggs.
17:09
Speaker 3: Yeah.
17:10
Speaker 1: Now, I'm looking at a picture right here because I
17:13
Speaker 1: pull up, you know, what days are we celebrating?
17:15
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
17:16
Speaker 1: And I've had a bunch of different types of deviled eggs.
17:19
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. I still have some on my.
17:21
Speaker 1: Bucket list because my buddy Leonard over at Truth Barbecue
17:25
Speaker 1: did a burnt end deviled egg that I did not
17:29
Speaker 1: get to taste his, but I'm going to try to recreate.
17:31
Speaker 3: Son of a gun.
17:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that I can handle that. But
17:33
Speaker 1: this image right here, I can't tell if that is
17:36
Speaker 1: a sardine or an anchovy.
17:39
Speaker 3: I've seen an anchovy applied to a devil egg.
17:42
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that.
17:44
Speaker 3: I've also seen caviar dropped on a devil egg. Oh,
17:47
Speaker 3: now that's just bougie. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing
17:50
Speaker 3: is people started getting really into them, and like froofy
17:53
Speaker 3: places will come up with like a million different ways.
17:55
Speaker 3: And again, I'll try, I will eat all of them.
17:58
Speaker 3: There's not one that I'm going to turn down. You
18:00
Speaker 3: put a devil egg in front of me, I'm going
18:01
Speaker 3: to need 12 more. It's also one of the foods
18:03
Speaker 3: that I don't know that I could ever get full of. Interestingly,
18:06
Speaker 3: I've never hit the limit. Well, you're a special type
18:09
Speaker 3: of person. So you've hit a limit.
18:10
Speaker 1: You've got, oh yeah, I can't do one more of these.
18:12
Speaker 1: I mean, even cool hand Luke could only eat so
18:14
Speaker 1: many eggs. I got that.
18:17
Speaker 3: I could take a shot at that cool hand Luke
18:20
Speaker 3: if the eggs are devil. Plan your epitaph day. A
18:25
Speaker 3: day to try to figure out what you would carve
18:28
Speaker 3: into your tombstone. If you had the opportunity, which of
18:31
Speaker 3: course you do, you can plan out whatever you want.
18:34
Speaker 3: A lot of people try to get snarky with famous F-taps.
18:38
Speaker 5: W.C.
18:38
Speaker 3: Fields. I'd rather be in Philadelphia. That's actually a misnomer.
18:42
Speaker 3: It's not actually as gravestone. It's just a popular attribution.
18:45
Speaker 3: But Mel Blanc's legendary voice of Bugs Bunny back in
18:48
Speaker 3: the day. That's all, folks.
18:50
Speaker 1: I could have guessed that one.
18:53
Speaker 19: 100%.
18:53
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you have some options available to you. What
18:58
Speaker 3: do we have on birthdays?
18:59
Speaker 1: On birthdays today, we've got Sonny Sandler. Sonny's 18 today.
19:04
Speaker 4: Is that Adam's?
19:04
Speaker 3: That's Adam's daughter. Oh, the Sandman's kids.
19:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, she played Vienna Gilmore in Happy Gilmore 2.
19:09
Speaker 5: Nice.
19:09
Speaker 1: You know, Adam always likes to give people in his
19:12
Speaker 1: life movie credits.
19:14
Speaker 3: He's given his friends, like, whole careers. Yeah, absolutely so.
19:19
Speaker 1: David Schwimmer is 60. Ross Geller on Friends. Still highly recommending,
19:23
Speaker 1: by the way, the documentary.
19:24
Speaker 16: Yes.
19:25
Speaker 1: It was really, really good. I did not realize until
19:27
Speaker 1: the very end of that documentary.
19:29
Speaker 3: Should I go ahead and spoil it? I'll spoil it.
19:30
Speaker 18: Sure.
19:32
Speaker 1: At the funeral for Matthew Perry, the Friends cast showed
19:38
Speaker 1: up together, held hands, walked down the aisle, and spent
19:42
Speaker 1: time at the casket. There wasn't any news, photo op,
19:47
Speaker 1: nothing like that. They were just together.
19:50
Speaker 3: That's nice.
19:51
Speaker 1: I thought so, too. Bobby Dahl is 63, the bassist
19:54
Speaker 1: from Poison. I remember when that album came out, I thought, man,
19:56
Speaker 1: those chicks are kind of cute.
19:58
Speaker 3: Yes, the Poison was a very confusing band.
20:01
Speaker 4: It was.
20:01
Speaker 1: Katie Lang is 65. She was a country singer at
20:03
Speaker 1: one point. What is Katie Lang.
20:05
Speaker 3: Up to these days?
20:06
Speaker 4: I don't know.
20:06
Speaker 1: Constant Craving was a great song.
20:08
Speaker 3: Yes, it was.
20:09
Speaker 1: Michael Buffer is 82.
20:10
Speaker 3: Can I say?
20:10
Speaker 5: No!
20:13
Speaker 3: I think I can.
20:15
Speaker 1: You can't do in reference to his birthday.
20:17
Speaker 3: I don't know that you are allowed. There are certain there.
20:20
Speaker 3: It's written right here. A lot of dirty words that
20:23
Speaker 3: you can't say on the radio. And then there's Michael
20:26
Speaker 3: Buffer's catchphrase, which will actually cost you more if you
20:30
Speaker 3: misuse it than all of the dirty words combined. It's strange,
20:35
Speaker 3: but true. Um, So you're saying your argument is that
20:39
Speaker 3: because we're talking about Michael Buffer.
20:41
Speaker 1: It's in a news story about Michael Buffer.
20:44
Speaker 3: Okay. News and entertainment. And, of course, he is famous
20:48
Speaker 3: for being the guy who gets in the ring before
20:51
Speaker 3: a fight, a microphone comes down, and he had a catchphrase.
20:55
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it.
20:56
Speaker 3: I'm going to do it.
20:57
Speaker 1: I'm not going to imitate it because I think imitating
21:01
Speaker 1: it might be crossing the line. There may be somebody
21:03
Speaker 1: who's not familiar with the catchphrase.
21:04
Speaker 3: You're making a good point. As long as you don't
21:06
Speaker 3: do it in buffer voice, then it might cut you.
21:10
Speaker 3: This is not a reenactment. This is a journalistic effort
21:16
Speaker 3: to tie him.
21:17
Speaker 1: Into what his significance in pop culture is. I will
21:20
Speaker 1: go the extra mile to make sure that it is not.
21:22
Speaker 3: Okay. You ready?
21:24
Speaker 4: Okay, go.
21:26
Speaker 3: Let's get ready to rumble.
21:29
Speaker 1: Now, go ahead and sue me, Michael.
21:31
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's going to get that confused with
21:34
Speaker 3: Michael's version of it. So I, okay.
21:36
Speaker 4: All right.
21:36
Speaker 1: You know, he's got a brother that does the ring
21:38
Speaker 1: announcement for the UFC.
21:39
Speaker 3: He's the same way, dude. You can't, I actually get
21:42
Speaker 3: nervous whenever with Bruce Buffer, I get nervous whenever I
21:48
Speaker 3: accidentally just say those two words on the show, which
21:51
Speaker 3: I have done a few times. Cause I'm like, what
21:53
Speaker 3: did that, did I put too much sauce? on bruce
21:56
Speaker 3: buffer's famous two words because he could technically he pays
22:00
Speaker 3: people they pay people to try to find someone saying
22:03
Speaker 3: those words it will just.
22:04
Speaker 1: It's so ridiculous it's insane so ridiculous i cannot believe
22:08
Speaker 1: how would you like to be bruce buffer though and
22:09
Speaker 1: just know that your brother was so much better it doesn't.
22:13
Speaker 3: Matter how many it frankly if i look at the
22:16
Speaker 3: two catchphrases one is it One's spot on perfect. The
22:19
Speaker 3: other one just feels a little bit like I didn't
22:21
Speaker 3: have anything, so I needed to come up with something.
22:22
Speaker 1: My brother wrote something down for me. It was his
22:24
Speaker 1: second or third choice.
22:26
Speaker 3: Kind of an obvious thing to say before a major event. Anyway,
22:30
Speaker 3: happy birthday to Bruce.
22:32
Speaker 1: Stephanie Powers is 84. You remember the old TV show,
22:34
Speaker 1: Heart to Heart?
22:35
Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
22:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was great on that. I used to watch
22:37
Speaker 1: that show when I was a kid. Haven't seen that
22:39
Speaker 1: in forever.
22:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. That's one that I don't know
22:41
Speaker 3: if you could stream if you had to, frankly.
22:43
Speaker 4: I don't know.
22:44
Speaker 3: Challenge accepted.
22:45
Speaker 4: No, please.
22:45
Speaker 3: I'd love to find out where some of these old,
22:47
Speaker 3: some of the 70s and 80s shows streams. I can't
22:49
Speaker 3: find them for anything. I've looked. It's like they just
22:52
Speaker 3: vanish into thin air.
22:53
Speaker 1: They pop up every so often. You got to catch
22:56
Speaker 1: them limited runs. Pat Buchanan is 88 years old today.

30:28

Speaker 1: Tem James Edge responded to the announcement of the resolution
31:29
Speaker 1: of condemnation against him by the Brazos County Republican Party.
31:33
Speaker 1: The party says Edge subverted and hijacked the party's name
31:36
Speaker 1: for his own personal political goals by publicly endorsing James Tallarico.
31:41
Speaker 1: Edge says he's a little flattered. He adds, quote, I
31:45
Speaker 1: think their decision to attempt to retaliate against me for
31:48
Speaker 1: exercising my First Amendment rights demonstrates just the type of destructive,
31:52
Speaker 1: divisive hyper-partisanship that I, along with many others, want to
31:56
Speaker 1: get away from. Edge doubled down on his endorsement and
31:59
Speaker 1: spoke at the Tallarico rally Friday night in Aggie Park.
32:02
Speaker 27: It may surprise you, I have never publicly supported a Democrat,
32:06
Speaker 27: and if you've been watching the news lately, there's been
32:09
Speaker 27: a little bit of controversy surrounding that, so I would
32:12
Speaker 27: encourage you Look on WTAW and KBTX.com.
32:16
Speaker 1: Edge said he supported the current senator.
32:19
Speaker 27: To be candid, I was a supporter of Senator John Cornyn.
32:23
Speaker 27: I think he served honorably, and I think he deserved
32:25
Speaker 27: to be reelected. But my party thought otherwise. But to
32:29
Speaker 27: replace him as our nominee with Ken Paxton.

Speaker 19: Federal immigration agent Mario Alberto Morales is charged with aggravated
32:43
Speaker 19: assault after he ran over a Mexican man with his

Speaker 19: car in Houston last month. He was chasing Miguel Para Hernandez,
32:50
Speaker 19: a construction worker, through a parking lot. And surveillance video
32:54
Speaker 19: shows his unmarked SUV struck Para Hernandez as he was
32:57
Speaker 19: running away. Morales' attorney originally described the incident as an accident,
33:02
Speaker 19: but a grand jury indicted him Friday on a felony
33:05
Speaker 19: charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Para Hernandez
33:09

35:02
Speaker 5: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
35:06
Speaker 5: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
35:09

36:03
Speaker 3: phone number. A little bit foggy, possibly, depending on where
36:06
Speaker 3: you're moving. Otherwise, mostly sunny today. 85 for your high
36:10
Speaker 3: and then windy. Like 25 mile an hour wind gusts
36:13
Speaker 3: in the afternoon. 30% chance of rain tonight. And then
36:17
Speaker 3: we're going to start heading in the other directions. By Tuesday,
36:24
Speaker 3: very windy, cold front coming through, 90% chance of rain,
36:27
Speaker 3: and then a low Tuesday night, getting down to around
36:31
Speaker 3: 53 degrees. Weather's brought to you by Malik. Be prepared
36:34
Speaker 3: for the next power outage. Malik Service Company and a
36:37
Speaker 3: whole home backup generator from Generac called Malik to schedule
36:40
Speaker 3: your appointment. We made it 40 minutes into the show,
36:44
Speaker 3: and we haven't even talked about how anyone's Halloween was.
36:46
Speaker 1: That's right.
36:47
Speaker 3: How was y'all's Halloween? Y'all get up to anything cool?
36:50
Speaker 3: What did you do?
36:51
Speaker 1: Well, we talked about on the show on Friday, we
36:53
Speaker 1: were going to go out to a fancy dinner and
36:55
Speaker 1: then go check out the Dave & Buster's. Mission accomplished
36:59
Speaker 1: on all fronts.
37:00
Speaker 3: Okay.
37:00
Speaker 1: We did, after dinner, we did go over to the
37:03
Speaker 1: Dave & Buster's where I consumed an Icy. A cherry Icy?
37:07
Speaker 3: An Icy?
37:08
Speaker 4: Yeah.
37:09
Speaker 3: Did they put anything in it for you? No, I
37:11
Speaker 3: had already consumed a little bit. You already had a
37:13
Speaker 3: few drinks, and you're like, hey, why not an Icy?
37:15
Speaker 3: Why not an Icy? Why not an Icy?
37:16
Speaker 1: Played some video games.
37:18
Speaker 3: What did you play? What was your game of choice?
37:20
Speaker 1: Well, none of them were the games that I played.
37:22
Speaker 3: As a kid, except for.
37:23
Speaker 1: Except for Skee-Ball. Skee-Ball's still around.
37:26
Speaker 3: It's not bad.
37:27
Speaker 1: But no, mostly shooting driving games.
37:29
Speaker 3: Okay. I hear they have a Mario Kart machine where
37:32
Speaker 3: you can basically get into it.
37:34
Speaker 1: I did not.
37:34
Speaker 3: It throws you around.
37:36
Speaker 1: There were some of the games that moved you around
37:38
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then my wife... So if you're
37:42
Speaker 1: in her second grade class, be expecting some prizes.
37:46
Speaker 3: Oh, stop it.
37:47
Speaker 1: Because I was like, what are you going to get
37:48
Speaker 1: with all of our points?
37:49
Speaker 3: And she said, I.
37:51
Speaker 1: I'm getting prizes for my classroom. I was like, I
37:55
Speaker 1: earned the points.
37:56
Speaker 3: What kind of prizes do they offer you? Anything that
37:59
Speaker 3: I would want at the Dave & Buster's? Oh, yeah.
38:01
Speaker 1: Oh, there's some big prizes. We weren't in that league.
38:04
Speaker 3: Nothing, but if you hit a jackpot, you're saying that
38:07
Speaker 3: I'd be able to... Oh, yeah, you'd get some cool stuff. Yeah,
38:09
Speaker 3: you'd get something that would be.
38:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, like some.
38:12
Speaker 3: Fancy headphones and game consoles, things like that. I dig
38:16
Speaker 3: the game consoles.
38:17
Speaker 1: Now, the dinner beforehand, and maybe the reason why I
38:21
Speaker 1: only had an Icy at Dave & Buster's, because I
38:23
Speaker 1: had a somewhat traumatic experience at dinner.
38:27
Speaker 3: Okay. Dinner was fantastic. Where'd you go?
38:30
Speaker 1: Went to the Republic. Oh, love the Republic. Hadn't been
38:32
Speaker 1: there in quite some time. Always one of my favorite places.
38:35
Speaker 1: The meal was, I mean, it's always, it's top notch.
38:38
Speaker 19: Mm-hmm.
38:39
Speaker 1: They had a couple of craft cocktails there, so I
38:41
Speaker 1: started out with one. It was, I think it was
38:45
Speaker 1: called the Notorious F.I.G.
38:51
Speaker 3: It's a fig-based.
38:54
Speaker 4: Cocktail.
38:55
Speaker 3: Man, that's relatively new then.
38:57
Speaker 1: Then I had a martini, and then I went for
38:58
Speaker 1: the old-fashioned when the steak showed up.
39:00
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Because that's the way I roll. Well,
39:02
Speaker 3: it's a whiskey. Come on, dude.
39:04
Speaker 1: That selection, you've got to get something whiskey. Somewhere right
39:06
Speaker 1: there in the middle of the main course.
39:08
Speaker 5: Hmm.
39:09
Speaker 1: Something struck me that shook me to my foundation.
39:13
Speaker 4: Yes.
39:14
Speaker 1: Our server had just come over to the table, as
39:16
Speaker 1: servers do. And she had, I can't remember, you need anything, whatever.
39:19
Speaker 1: She was taking care of us. She walked in my
39:22
Speaker 1: field of vision out of the area where we were
39:26
Speaker 1: seated in the room. And then I turned around. And
39:31
Speaker 1: there she was behind me.
39:33
Speaker 3: Like a rift in the space-time continuum?
39:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
39:36
Speaker 3: And it kind of freaked me out. Is it possible
39:38
Speaker 3: you just maybe she exited the field of vision? You
39:41
Speaker 3: had had a few? No, it was instantaneous. So you
39:44
Speaker 3: watched her walk out a door.
39:45
Speaker 18: Yeah.
39:45
Speaker 3: And then turned around.
39:47
Speaker 1: Turned to look at my friend who was talking to me.
39:49
Speaker 3: And that's her.
39:50
Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay.
39:51
Speaker 1: And I thought, man, it's Halloween.
39:55
Speaker 3: What's going on here? Am I losing my mind?
39:58
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the group. I'm like, am I okay?
40:01
Speaker 1: Are y'all seeing this?
40:03
Speaker 3: What did the other people at the table?
40:05
Speaker 1: They were like, no, the people I'm with aren't as
40:07
Speaker 1: kind of situationally aware.
40:10
Speaker 4: As I am.
40:11
Speaker 1: So did they see the waitress there? After I pointed
40:14
Speaker 1: it out, they were like, oh, they're starting to pay
40:15
Speaker 1: more attention.
40:16
Speaker 3: And then they also, did they have an encounter? Shortly
40:20
Speaker 3: after that. Oh, they did? No, shortly after that.
40:24
Speaker 28: Yeah.
40:25
Speaker 1: Both of them appeared in the room at the same time.
40:27
Speaker 1: I don't think that it should be legal. I know
40:30
Speaker 1: that it's not ethical for somebody who's three drinks in
40:36
Speaker 1: to suddenly become aware without anybody telling him that there
40:39
Speaker 1: are identical twins working.
40:41
Speaker 3: They were twins? They were twins.
40:43
Speaker 4: They were twins?
40:43
Speaker 3: Identical twins working in the same section. Do you have
40:48
Speaker 3: photographic evidence? I do have. I do. All right.
40:51
Speaker 1: I'm sending it to you now so you can put
40:53
Speaker 1: it up there.
40:53
Speaker 4: Yeah.
40:54
Speaker 3: And I have permission to share it.
40:55
Speaker 4: They were delightful.
40:56
Speaker 1: The service was fantastic.
40:58
Speaker 3: All right, I actually did kind of expect to only
41:00
Speaker 3: see one girl in this picture. This wasn't a candid photo.
41:04
Speaker 4: This is posed.
41:05
Speaker 3: I was like, guys, I got you. Is this an AI?
41:09
Speaker 4: No.
41:09
Speaker 3: There's a set of twins that work at the same
41:13
Speaker 3: time in the same section? Yes.
41:15
Speaker 4: Of the Republic? Yes.
41:16
Speaker 3: Are they both good? Yes. Do they sound the same
41:19
Speaker 3: when they speak?
41:20
Speaker 1: Yes.
41:21
Speaker 9: That seems.
41:22
Speaker 3: What are the odds of that?
41:23
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was, I mean.
41:24
Speaker 3: Couldn't you schedule them? Mind blown. I thought, dear God,
41:29
Speaker 3: am I twisted. What happened? Is it even worse if
41:32
Speaker 3: you have a big group and you got two? It's like...
41:34
Speaker 3: Twins are.
41:39
Speaker 1: Absolutely freaked me out.
41:40
Speaker 3: Did you ask if they ever engaged in twin magic?
41:43
Speaker 18: No.
41:43
Speaker 3: One of them's having a bad day. He's like, hey,
41:44
Speaker 3: can you just cover? No, I knew they were working.
41:47
Speaker 1: They were gracious enough to laugh a little bit with
41:50
Speaker 1: me and pose for the photo, but I wasn't going
41:52
Speaker 1: to take any more of their time.
41:53
Speaker 4: Good Lord.
41:54
Speaker 1: Honestly, I was still a little freaked out. It was
41:57
Speaker 1: Halloween night.
41:57
Speaker 3: Do you want to give them a shout out? Do
41:58
Speaker 3: we know their names? I don't know their names. Someone
42:00
Speaker 3: will figure it out. I'll post this on our Facebook.
42:02
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Wade may be listening. Wade, always a
42:05
Speaker 1: great time.
42:05
Speaker 3: Wade, if you want to call and explain how you
42:07
Speaker 3: ended up hiring identical twins, it's Wade Snap. That does
42:11
Speaker 3: seem like there's probably not that many people who fit
42:15
Speaker 3: that description.
42:16
Speaker 1: No, and you ought to put up a sign or something.
42:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, Home of the Twins. Yeah, just... Well, don't say that. Yeah,
42:20
Speaker 3: that's a little... Home of the... Well, look. We'll figure
42:23
Speaker 3: it out. We'll get the right people on it. Back
42:25
Speaker 3: after this.
42:26
Speaker 28: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
42:28
Speaker 28: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
42:31
Speaker 28: sponsor and friends at Producers.
42:34
Speaker 25: The Producers Cooperative Association was started by the farmers and
42:37
Speaker 25: ranchers of the Brazos Valley in 1943 and ever since
42:40
Speaker 25: has been the area's agricultural provider. We've grown to be
42:44
Speaker 25: the largest member-owned agricultural cooperative in the state of Texas
42:48
Speaker 25: with the mission to provide agriculture with the needed products, programs,
42:51
Speaker 25: and services. Everything ag.
42:54
Speaker 4: We have it. All of it.
42:57
Speaker 3: Stop by and visit us or call us at 979-778-6000.
43:02
Speaker 28: Their transitions from low shrubs to turf, their replacements for
43:06
Speaker 28: grass when it's too shady for turf or too steep
43:08
Speaker 28: to mow safely. Their great and long narrow spaces where
43:12
Speaker 28: grass would be tough to maintain. They are ground covers
43:15
Speaker 28: and they're a phenomenon that's come along in.
43:17
Speaker 1: The past several decades.
43:19
Speaker 4: Lucky for us.
43:20
Speaker 28: We're going to talk about the best ground covers and
43:22
Speaker 28: how to use them right after this important message. My
43:26
Speaker 28: book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe it's
43:30
Speaker 28: the best work of my career. I self-published it. It's
43:33
Speaker 28: directly from me to your mailbox. There's no publishing house,
43:36
Speaker 28: no retail markups to run up your cost. As I
43:39
Speaker 28: close out the final printing, here's an offer I've never
43:42
Speaker 28: made before. While supplies last, I've reduced the price from $ 38. 95
43:47
Speaker 28: on the jacket to the lowest price ever. Only $ 24. 95.

44:02
Speaker 29: vegetable gardening for every county in Texas. A 48-page perpetual calendar.

44:25
Speaker 28: Ground covers take a couple of forms. Some are low
44:27
Speaker 28: trailing plants that sprawl and cover the earth. They may
44:30
Speaker 28: or may not form roots along their stems as they spread.
44:34
Speaker 28: Other ground covers are clumps. They spread by multiplying. One
44:37
Speaker 28: plant recreates itself into two and then four and then
44:40
Speaker 28: eight and so on.
44:42
Speaker 3: To fill the bed.
44:43
Speaker 28: How well the plant grows will enter your decisions when
44:46
Speaker 28: it comes time to choose the best types for your needs.
44:49
Speaker 28: Let's talk about ground covers for the shade first. My
44:52
Speaker 28: own personal choice for areas where it's too shady for
44:55
Speaker 28: even St. Augustine is regular mondo grass. It's also called
44:59
Speaker 28: monkey grass, ophiopogon, and lily turf. It has grass-like texture,
45:04
Speaker 28: but it grows to 6 to 8 inches tall, and
45:06
Speaker 28: when planted in a moist, well-prepared soil and spaced 10
45:09
Speaker 28: inches between tennis ball-sized clumps, mondo grass will fill in
45:13
Speaker 28: completely within the first year. You can walk through it occasionally,
45:17
Speaker 28: for example, to blow leaves out in the fall or
45:19
Speaker 28: or to retrieve a ball or a frisbee, but it's
45:22
Speaker 28: not intended for areas of traffic. I do not mow mine,
45:26
Speaker 28: although some commercial landscapers trim beds down to an inch
45:29
Speaker 28: or two in late winter. That way they get a
45:31
Speaker 28: flush of uniform new growth in the spring. Other shade candidates, liriope,
45:36
Speaker 28: the summer flowering big sister to mondograss, and English ivy,
45:40
Speaker 28: Asian jasmine, and purple winter creeper euonymus, among others. How
45:44
Speaker 28: about ground covers for slopes? In the couple of places
45:47
Speaker 28: where I have steep slopes it would be impossible to mow,
45:50
Speaker 28: I've used both Mondo Grass and Liriope where there's shade
45:52
Speaker 28: in the afternoon and Purple Wintercreeper or either Harbor Dwarf
45:56
Speaker 28: or Harbor Bell Nandinas in full sun. All of these
46:00
Speaker 28: plants form dense root systems that hold the soil securely
46:03
Speaker 28: once the plants get established. Other candidates for slopes in
46:07
Speaker 28: shade would be English Ivy and in sun Asian Jasmine
46:10
Speaker 28: and Tam Junipers. And then ground covers for narrow spaces.
46:14
Speaker 28: Here we're talking about areas like parkways, the space between
46:17
Speaker 28: the curb and the sidewalk, and alongside drives that are
46:20
Speaker 28: close to the house. In shade, once again, I use
46:23
Speaker 28: Mondo grass or the tiny dwarf Mondo grass in limited
46:27
Speaker 28: areas only. In sun, you could either use purple winter
46:30
Speaker 28: creeper euonymus, knowing that you're going to have to trim
46:32
Speaker 28: it occasionally to keep it from spreading out into the pavement,
46:35
Speaker 28: or you could use one of those same dwarf nandinas.
46:39
Speaker 28: I'm Neal Sperry, and in our next Flight Talk Texas,

Speaker 3: listening to Frito and Pie in the daylight. Thank you,
51:24
Speaker 3: daylight savings time.
51:25
Speaker 4: Wow. No.
51:26
Speaker 1: I mean, thank you for the kind words, but I
51:30
Speaker 1: hate the time change.
51:31
Speaker 3: Good morning to everyone but daylight savings time. How is
51:34
Speaker 3: it treating you so far? I don't like it.
51:37
Speaker 23: Hmm.
51:38
Speaker 3: I don't like it.
51:38
Speaker 1: I tried to stay up a little bit later last
51:41
Speaker 1: night than what I wanted to go to bed because
51:43
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to bed at 6.30.
51:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, same.
51:46
Speaker 1: But then this morning, wide awake, 1.30, hour and 15
51:51
Speaker 1: minutes before the alarm.
51:52
Speaker 3: That'll happen. I also woke up about 30 minutes before
51:56
Speaker 3: my alarm went off and had a moment of panic.
51:59
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, that's right. This is just
52:01
Speaker 3: that time of year where this sort of thing happens.
52:03
Speaker 3: And guess what? I'm going to be dog-tired. By, you know,
52:07
Speaker 3: by noon.
52:08
Speaker 1: Bosses, managers, people who are in supervisory positions. I was
52:13
Speaker 1: wondering this this morning if there was somebody that was
52:15
Speaker 1: going to be late today and they were going to
52:17
Speaker 1: try to blame it on the time change.
52:18
Speaker 3: It's not anymore, man. You can't use that. Well, no,
52:21
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that that's the wrong direction. Exactly.
52:23
Speaker 4: Right.
52:24
Speaker 1: But, you know, somebody would go in there.
52:25
Speaker 3: Hey, man, boss, I'm so sorry.
52:28
Speaker 1: His time change threw me off.
52:30
Speaker 3: I didn't set my clubs. You take the chances you
52:33
Speaker 3: need to take. Now there's a real question, though, getting
52:37
Speaker 3: back in the news. And we talked about this. Of
52:40
Speaker 3: course we do. We talked about this.
52:41
Speaker 1: Let's face it. News sources, they source us for news.
52:44
Speaker 3: There's a good chance that you might have to spring
52:47
Speaker 3: forward before the end of the month. And again, I'm
52:51
Speaker 3: not good. We're talking odds. It's greater than zero that
52:55
Speaker 3: we might just say whoopsies and take it all the
52:58
Speaker 3: way back to where it was yesterday. before December.
53:00
Speaker 1: Which I'm perfectly fine with.
53:02
Speaker 3: Now, you might ask, well, that's stupid. Why would you
53:04
Speaker 3: do that? Because of the Sunshine Protection Act, which we
53:08
Speaker 3: talked about. House passed it back in the summer. The
53:10
Speaker 3: House passed it.
53:11
Speaker 1: Slammed into the Senate, and the Senate said, I believe
53:14
Speaker 1: somebody you spoke to said something along the lines of, quote,
53:17
Speaker 1: I don't see a way forward.
53:18
Speaker 3: I don't see a way forward. We just can't get
53:21
Speaker 3: 51 votes to pass getting rid of the time change,
53:25
Speaker 3: which I find stupid, frankly. They just want to tack
53:28
Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff onto it. President Trump, a few
53:31
Speaker 3: days ago, spoke on it and said he demands that
53:36
Speaker 3: the Senate makes this a priority and pass it yesterday. Yeah,
53:40
Speaker 3: let's get it on record.
53:41
Speaker 1: Put it to a vote. If you don't see a
53:43
Speaker 1: way forward, that's great. Let's see who's holding out. One
53:46
Speaker 1: of them is going to be Tom Cotton from Arkansas.
53:48
Speaker 3: It is going to be Tom Cotton.
53:49
Speaker 1: Tom, who I know has been paid off by big
53:51
Speaker 1: light bulb.
53:52
Speaker 3: I don't trust Tommy further than I can throw him
53:54
Speaker 3: because this is just stupid. It's too dangerous for kids
53:56
Speaker 3: to go to school in the pitch dark. Tom, I
53:58
Speaker 3: don't know you from Arkansas. You spent time in Arkansas.
54:01
Speaker 3: You let kids walk to school in Arkansas.
54:03
Speaker 1: I don't recall.
54:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't. But let's face it.
54:06
Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago that they got electricity for
54:08
Speaker 1: streetlights anyway.
54:09
Speaker 4: Yeah.
54:11
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want my kids to have to
54:12
Speaker 3: walk to school.
54:13
Speaker 1: Amongst hill people either. Look, if you're walking to school,
54:16
Speaker 1: you're doing so in a neighborhood to a neighborhood school.
54:19
Speaker 1: Nobody is doing like I did when I was a
54:21
Speaker 1: kid and walking.
54:23
Speaker 3: I guess my shortest walk to school was a mile.
54:26
Speaker 1: By the time I got into fifth and sixth grade,
54:29
Speaker 1: it was a two and a half mile bicycle ride.
54:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, ain't no one doing that. Oh, by the way,
54:33
Speaker 3: this is one of those issues that if the Congress flips,
54:36
Speaker 3: it goes away. They have to redo the whole thing.
54:38
Speaker 3: If they hold on, they hold on to the majority.
54:41
Speaker 3: Then maybe.
54:42
Speaker 4: I mean, you know.
54:43
Speaker 3: It's a bipartisan thing, though. This shouldn't have any problem. Yes,
54:45
Speaker 3: this is bipartisan. This should be like an 80-vote win.
54:50
Speaker 3: But yet, you know, here we are. Either way, we'll see.
54:54
Speaker 3: I would gladly, gladly go for a spring forward all
54:59
Speaker 3: over again if I knew it was going to be
55:00
Speaker 3: the last time.
55:00
Speaker 4: Sooner the better.
55:01
Speaker 3: Do it tomorrow.
55:02
Speaker 26: Yeah.
55:02
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm going to go ahead and get a
55:03
Speaker 1: jump on it. I'll be early from here on out.
55:05
Speaker 3: 1620, 94.5 WTAW College Station. Brian, 7 o'clock.
55:11
Speaker 1: The final rallies.
