  Speaker 8: on just now is National Funk Day.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I like the funk.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: It's a day to get funky. Funk, I would say
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: funk is underappreciated.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: At this particular point in history, I mean, when was
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: the last time you heard some good funk tracks?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Well, if you were at any of the softball games
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that I was doing PA at Consolidated, you would have
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: heard some because I throw some funk in the playlist.
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: Which ones do you go with?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, come on. I will throw up some
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Get Down On It.

  Speaker 10: Oh, okay.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I will throw up some Superstition, some Brick House, some
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Word Up.
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: Oh, dude, that's right. Word Up is, I forget about that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: The Cameo.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, oh man, that's a great one. Look, it's possible
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: to find all sorts of good stuff today if you
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: wanted to get funky.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That's right. If you want to get funky, there's nothing
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: stopping you.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: And also, this is the one that I was really
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: sad about. World Teacher's Day.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yep, there's that one.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: Did you know that one?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It was on my list.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: Oh, son of a gun. Okay, all right.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But you're in charge of that list, and I handled
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the birthdays. I didn't want to step on your toes.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: Do you have a teacher that still stacks high in
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: your memory?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I have a counselor. I have some teachers, but the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: top-notch one is the counselor that was my counselor for
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: my freshman year all the way through high school.
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: Holy cow.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: That is personally responsible for getting me out of high
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: school and into college. Seriously?
• 7:54
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 7:55
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's a name everybody knows. It's Chrissy Hester.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Chrissy Hester.
• 8:00
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: College Station ISD legend.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Still doing that. Still taking care of kids.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: There's a lot that they do that they love, obviously.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think teachers, teaching is one of those
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: jobs that you, I believe that most of them do
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: it for the love because there's really no other reason to.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Tolerate the headaches. At this point, if you're a good teacher,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you're doing it because of the love of the game.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: No one's going into it because they're like, yeah, this'll
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: pay the bills.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: There are so many things that crush them. Oh, God.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: As teachers now, whether or not it's the district or
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the state, or their individual admin, or some of the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: sad stories that they get as kids, or some of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the tough ones to deal with.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: And it's in your face every single day. Every day.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: Every day. Our text number is 979-695-1620. If you would
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: like to shout out a teacher.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Please do.
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: Either from your life today or that you remember when
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: you were growing up. Tell us a little bit about it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: We would love to share some of those. especially if
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: you've got kids and you have a teacher that is
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: out there today handling your kid, dealing with your kid
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: between school hours every single day. It's a great time
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: to tell the Brass Valley how great they are because,
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: good Lord, there's not enough. We were just talking last
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: week about just the random continuing education hours.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just crazy.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: Even when you're not dealing with the kids, there is
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: something obnoxious happening. that the teacher is having to do.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: And let's not get into the amount of money they
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: have to spend for the pennies that we give them
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: as far as a salary. They have to turn around
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: and then spend it right back again because, you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: there's all kinds of supplies that aren't covered.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: By any of the stuff. I can confirm.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: All of this.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: So so pay him back a little bit this morning.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I expect I expect lots and lots. Don't let me down.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I expect lots of response on this one.
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: I hope so, man. I really would like to acknowledge
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: some of the ones that are out there doing it today.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: And again, if you have some from the past, love
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: to hear those too. I definitely have a few I'll
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: shout out.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Here's Eric Bryant has texted in. Lloyd Wasserman.
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: Lloyd Wasserman is your teacher?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Well, he was a teacher and a coach and then
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he became a principal. And Eric, I will say one
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: thing right now. And Eric, you will get this and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: many others who went to A & M Consolidated High
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: School during these years will get it. I will tow.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: The ultimate Lloyd Wasserman quote.
• 10:41

• 10:44
  Speaker 8: in a bit.
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: the people. That means judges should be accountable, rules should
• 11:23
  Speaker 10: be clear, and the system should be accessible to those
• 11:26
  Speaker 10: who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Means more than a principle.
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: It means a court system Texans can understand, trust, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 10: afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Clear rules. Accountable courts. Equal justice under law. a political
• 11:42

  Speaker 1: I had a geography teacher who would be on my
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: list of this, Mrs. Lang, who was a teacher when
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I was there back in the 80s. She was teaching forever,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I think. Just passed away not too many years ago.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: But she taught there forever. You find those people that
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: have done that. Brian texts in, Mr. Housenfluck. They call
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: him Mr. H, ag teacher, and Brian. Holy cow. I'm
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: all about that. I had a great ag teacher. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: then the ag teacher that came along after me was
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a good one, too. But I got to visit with
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: him for a lot of years.
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: Skipper.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Skipper says, Brenda Harris homeschooled our five kids
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and co-opted many others.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 16:05
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: All three of our kids are business owners. Two others
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: are general managers of major businesses in the Brazos Valley.
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: I forget that there's such a big homeschool contingent in
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: the surrounding area. A lot of people will go that route.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: And one of the ways you make that work is
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: you bring someone in to essentially be the teacher. And yeah,
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: then it's like, not only are you teaching, You're going
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: to drive all over God's green earth.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: That's right. Well, this is Brenda Harris, I'm guessing, is
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Skipper Harris' wife and also did the roles of mom
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and probably bus driver.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: That would make sense.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Cafeteria worker and everything else.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: Man, that's so cool.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: CJ Johnson texts in another, Mr. H is the best.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Antone texts in, Frank Metzer, ag at BHS.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: It's funny, it always seems to be the same person
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: type of teacher. Again, it's like the history teachers, the
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: ag teachers, they still have shop teachers.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Shop teachers. They just built the whole new
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: complex over there for College Station ISD. It's phenomenal. It's
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: not only ag, but it's all the vocational tech stuff, too.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: PE teachers, do they still... I mean.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess they do still have some basic PE
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: classes for people who aren't in band or athletics or
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: things like that.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: Not what it used to be.
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: No.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: Not what it used to be. Do they still make
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: you run in PE class?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure.
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: Are there still actually, I mean, make you, I'm not
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: talking about make you move. I'm talking about today's activity
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: will be running laps on the track.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they can do that anymore. That's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a shame. We were talking about the other day, you know, back.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Back when I was in P.E. as a kid, you
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: had to do jumping jacks and picking berries, right?
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: Calling picking berries.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Of course, then you have a good day. You get
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: some dodgeball in if it's a good day.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: Dodgeball was the best. Kickball was absolutely second best.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I always liked the fact that the coaches, at least
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in South Noel Elementary, Coach Warhol and Coach Hayes, they
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: would paddle you for your birthday. They break out the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: paddle and give you a spanking for your birthday. Birthday swats.
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: We got a little bit of that, too.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And if you had a summer birthday like me, no,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: you didn't get out of it. Last day of school,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: they lined up all the summer birthdays.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: It was just a murder spree.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: And it was just enough of a swat to remind
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you that you didn't want the real thing.
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: Exactly. Now, keep in mind, I have this paddle. I
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: have this, and it stays in my office. Will I
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: break it out next? Who knows?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: With holes drilled in it for aerodynamics and extra pain.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Do you really want to find out for sure? Jay,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: hands down, Mrs. Vedders and Brian High. And a special
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: shout-out to my dad, coach of all sports and history
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: teacher at the Brian Crochet Rockets.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: God rest his soul. Yeah, so, like, again, text in yours.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: I know you have plenty of teachers that you would
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: like to salute.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And we want to salute them, so send them in.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: All right, we're back. We'll talk news. That's coming up next.
• 19:11
  Speaker 12: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 19:16
  Speaker 12: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 19:20
  Speaker 12: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 19:23
  Speaker 12: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 19:26
  Speaker 12: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 19:33
  Speaker 12: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.
• 19:38
  Speaker 12: Political ad paid for by Paul Dyson for Texas.
• 19:42
  Speaker 16: Uneven concrete, loose gravel, deep mud. You earn your living

• 20:15
  Speaker 8: thanks to Lloyd Wasserman, I got to meet Coach Hayes,
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: ISS teacher.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: In school suspension, baby.
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: Give it up for the ISS teachers. Give it up
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: for those guys. How do you decide who gets to
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: be the ISS? Who draws that straw?
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The only time I was ever in
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: ISS was at the end of eighth grade, and I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: got placed into ISS because I'd gotten in a fight
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: before school. Not saying the guy didn't deserve it. But
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I was I was a good kid. I worked in
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the office. Everybody knew me and I'd never been in
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: any trouble. So essentially, I got in in school suspension
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and all I did was play cards with the in
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: school suspension teacher. And and then they let me out
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a day early for good behavior so I could take
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: part in field day.
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: Holy cow. Yeah. You got the good behavior.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Got the good behavior.

  Speaker 8: my son, Jamie, who's back coaching and teaching at a
• 21:05

  Speaker 9: That's HomeTitleLock.com, promo code Bill. On this Monday, I'm thinking
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: about living in the moment. You know, these pinheads on
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: television are predicting what's going to happen five weeks from
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: now in the midterm vote. And they are wasting your
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: time by doing that. They don't know what's going to
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: happen between now and then as things will change. The
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: Trump administration is not just sitting around doing nothing. They
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: are trying to solve the Iran situation, high prices, cost
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: of gas. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. If they do,
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: it changes the perception of the nation. Once you start
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: to hear prediction stuff, change the channel, live in the moment.
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: Every day is different. It's impossible to predict what will
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: happen tomorrow let alone in November. If you need information,
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: that's great. You should be seeking the truth. That's why
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: you're listening to me right now. We will never deceive
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: you here. Unfortunately, most of the other media outlets will
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: deceive you. Now, last week, for example, I reported on
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: a column from General David Petraeus, former CIA chief, about Iran.
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: And Iran may go at any time, according to Petraeus.
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: That story is very important. It was suppressed by the
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: corporate media. What a scandal. Back in a moment. Are
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: you trapped in a timeshare you don't use, want, or
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: can't get rid of? I endorse Lone Star Transfer. They

• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: man is in critical condition after being hit by a
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: drunk driver while on a scooter. 21-year-old Truman Davis was
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: arrested and charged with intoxication assault after colliding with the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: man as he rode on Welburn near Kyle Field just
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: before 3 o'clock Saturday morning. College Station Police responded to
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: reports of a major accident at the location. The victim
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: was found bleeding from his head and throwing up blood.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: He is said to have suffered a skull fracture and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: brain bleed, among other injuries. While being interviewed, Davis was
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: reportedly swaying and had slurred speech. He admitted to having
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: three beers and failed a field sobriety test. Arrest records
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: say the Vio scooter was well lit, and traffic camera
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: footage shows that other vehicles passed the scooter without incident.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Officers believe Davis failed to see the scooter because of
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: his impaired state. Davis was charged with intoxication assault with
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: a vehicle. Blood alcohol analysis results are pending. He is
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: free on $ 30, 000 bond. Bryan police are asking for your

  Speaker 1: Cates was last seen at her home in the 1500
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: block of Baker Avenue shortly after midnight Friday morning. They
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: believe Aria is in danger and could be with an
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: unrelated adult exposing her to harm. Visit WTAW.com or our
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Facebook to see her photo. If you see, area, or
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: have any information regarding her location, please contact the Bryan

  Speaker 1: Police Department or call 911. A first grader at Navasota's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: John Webb Elementary School is in trouble for taking a
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: knife to school on Thursday and threatening another student. In
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a letter to parents, Superintendent Stu Musick described the weapon
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: as a mini keychain knife. and that the threat was
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: made inside the classroom. Musick says the appropriate procedures were followed,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and they continue to address the incident in accordance with
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: district and campus disciplinary policies. We asked what type of
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: discipline the child would face, but the district said that
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: due to FERPA laws, they were unable to disclose that information.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: He reminds parents to talk with their children about the
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: seriousness of taking weapons to school and making threats, and
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: if they hear about or see a threat, to immediately
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: tell a trusted adult. A kindergarten student in Gause ISD
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: was found with a gun at school on Friday. Officials
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: say a parent contacted the school just before 8 a.m.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: to say that a weapon might be in a certain
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: child's backpack. School officials secured the handgun and the Milam
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department was notified. Today is your last day
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: to register to vote for the November 3rd elections. There
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: are voter registration parties being held today. You can register

• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the Owl Cafe. It appears as though data centers are
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: trying to buy a little bit of goodwill.
• 29:32
  Speaker 18: Data centers are about as popular as root canals and
• 29:34
  Speaker 18: tax audits these days, but big data is doing something
• 29:37
  Speaker 18: about it.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Collectively, they're investing or donating 100%.
• 29:46
  Speaker 18: Million, in fact, have gone towards school programs, emergency services,
• 29:50
  Speaker 18: infrastructure fixes, a new water tower, upgrades to a museum,
• 29:54
  Speaker 18: and even a new hospital. Whether this beneficial spending will
• 29:57
  Speaker 18: soften people's attitudes towards data centers remains to be seen.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Eric Langham, TSN News. It's still a close Senate race
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: here in Texas with James Tallarico maintaining a slight lead
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: in the polls. Fox's Bill Malungan has more.
• 30:11
  Speaker 11: Democrats have had their eyes set on Texas for decades now.
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: They haven't held a Senate seat there since back in 1993.
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: And brand new Fox News polling shows that streak of
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: domination for Republicans continues. Maybe at risk this year. Our
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: Fox News polling of likely Texas voters has Democrat James
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: Tallarico up two points over Republican Ken Paxton. This race
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: is a genuine toss-up right now, but here's what's really
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: concerning for Paxton. Texas voters giving Tallarico a 12-point lead
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: over Paxton when it comes to favorability. That is obviously
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: way outside of the margin of error, and that's despite
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: the fact that Tallarico has said a handful of things
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: that you would think really would never fly in Texas.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Tallarico has spent his 2026 Senate campaign describing how his
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: faith informs his political views in a bid to appeal
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to a larger group of Texans. The state's power grid
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: survived the summer, but many are still worried that we
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: could see another winter storm Yuri. Some want the Railroad Commission,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: which is in charge of oil and gas operations, to
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: do more than calm the fears.
• 31:13

• 35:28
  Speaker 12: Brr.
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: I love to see it. Weather is brought to you

  Speaker 8: feel the difference. It is, see, a little crisp in
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: the air.
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: I mean, tomorrow morning, that'd be nice. It's October, which
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: means it's the month of spookiness and Halloween.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Kind of a fun month.
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: It is. And, I mean, every year, this is when
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: they drop the most interesting, random stuff related to ghosts.
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: They just time it that way. And there is a
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: lot of it today. Mainly, how many of us, A,
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: believe in ghosts, and B... How many of us actually
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: seen them?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Did I read this right this morning when I looked
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: at it? Is this a you.gov survey? This is a government, a.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: gov survey.
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: I don't think you.gov is the government. I think they
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: just say that to make you think it's somehow official,
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: but I don't know. I don't know either. If it is,
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: that's nuts. Whatever it is. It's long, dude. It's long,
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: but for the purposes of this, I just want to focus.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: on people who have actually seen a ghost. Now, that
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: can be a wide-ranging thing. There's something called the full-bodied apparition,
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: which is you actually, like, if Will was a ghost
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: and I saw Will, that's a full-bodied apparition. There's a
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: ghost right there. But they'll also count a whole lot
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: of other things. Feeling a presence or unknown energy, smelling
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: an unexplained odor, hearing sounds, music, things like that, temperature changes,
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: all of that.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Smelling an unexplained odor?
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: I know that's a little bit of a stretch, but
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: like some people will say, oh, I smelled a pipe
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: in a room where a.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Pipe shouldn't be. Oh, okay, because there's plenty of odors
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: floating around my house, especially after all those girls were
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: there this weekend getting ready for homecoming.
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: One in five have seen a ghost.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: One in five.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: And almost, you could almost say multiple times, 20% of people,
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: if they've seen one, they've seen two. Now, after you
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: get past two, it goes down quite, quite dramatically. But
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: not just once. Most of the time, They said it
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: was someone they knew in the past. Friend, deceased family member,
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: 26% people said that. But another third said it could
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: be anyone. Just a random ghost. How are you guys? Again,
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: if it's 20%, that's one in five. So I always
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: like to put it in terms of if you had
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: 10 people in a room, that means two of you
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: guys have actually seen a ghost. I'm intensely jealous.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: What about you, Tucker?
• 38:18
  Speaker 21: No, never. No.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't I don't want to, you know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want to discount anybody else's beliefs. But let's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: just say I'm skeptical of the ghosts. And I mean,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: if you want to put this survey up against the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: you know, put out another you.gov survey of how many
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: of you guys have been abducted by aliens. That's and
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: that's going to have about the same. You know, it's
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: going to hold about the same amount of water for me.
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: It's usually I feel like aliens and if you believe
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: in ghosts, yes, you believe in aliens. I'd be shocked
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: if it was 20% people said abducted. 20% people is
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: a lot of people.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: And look, again, to be fair, I'm sure some of
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: you guys had some stories. Here's one of the reasons
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: I know. They also have a whole bunch of other
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: things that are listed here. One of them is whether
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: you have lived in a haunted house at some point
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: in your life. That the house you live in was haunted.
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: also around 20% of people say, not only did I
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: see ghosts, I lived where the ghosts were, which actually
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: kind of adds up to me. I, I buy that. I,
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: I could see how that would be.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Could be.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I, I don't know. Um, and uh
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: for what it's worth uh most of the ghosts that
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: people reported seeing were.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Good ghosts so casper okay.
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: Exactly casper or someone who just was in your life
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: and departed and that was it uh so now again
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: like i said If you have a ghost story and
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: you would like to share it with Skeptic Will, 979-695-1620.
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: I believe in ghosts, which makes it all that much
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: more insulting that I've never actually been.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: You're the guy. You should see.
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: I've gone on paranormal like investigations. All I want to
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: do is see some evidence that there's ghosts everywhere. That's
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: my best case scenario. And yeah, well, you never know.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: What if you run into a demon?
• 40:18
  Speaker 8: Whatever, man. Just something. What if something's out there?
• 40:22
  Speaker 25: Oh, man.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: A Matt text in from Brian. You only think ghosts
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: are fake until you encounter one. They are real, gentlemen.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: No alien abduction for me, though.
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: Matt, that's what I'm saying, Matt. I would like to
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: hear your story. Oh, and look at what we have here.
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: Let's go. WTAW. Good morning. Do you have a ghost
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: story for us? Keep in mind you are now on
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: the radio.
• 40:45
  Speaker 26: I do not have a ghost story this morning, but
• 40:48
  Speaker 26: I heard– I was listening to the radio and was–
• 40:51
  Speaker 26: heard y'all say that we could call in any time.
• 40:54
  Speaker 26: Is this specifically about ghosts?
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever. I want to hear what you have to
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: say about ghosts. Okay.
• 41:04
  Speaker 26: So, yeah, I'm calling in because I heard last week
• 41:07
  Speaker 26: you guys were talking about the text message survey about
• 41:09
  Speaker 26: the Fox safety opinion.
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: Oh, okay.
• 41:12
  Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:13
  Speaker 26: Did you guys share the information about that?
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, we kind of did. And when we say it's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a text message survey, essentially we opened it up to
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: listeners to give us their opinion via our text lines.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: So it's not scientific.
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: It's just who happened to be listening at that point
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: in time.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: And was willing to spend a minute texting us.
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: And so again, yeah, it's no more impactful than any
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: other random survey of random people. But in that survey,
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: we were, as I recall, we had just said, did
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: College Station get it right?
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what we asked.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: With the re-up of Flock, not... do you like flock
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: or is flock? Are you, are you a fan of
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: flock or, you know, do you think we should have
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: more flocks? It was just in from, because we've talked
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: about it enough times on the show. God knows all
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: things considered. Did they, meaning the college station city council
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: get it right and, When it came to re-upping that
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: contract with everything that has been brought up from the good,
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: the bad, the fact that the state government is going
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: to probably come in and have things to say about
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: it and everything else. And most people, by a brief–
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: It was at least– it was about a 70-30 in favor. Yeah,
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: about 70-30 said, yeah, all things considered, they probably got
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: it right, which is interesting to me.
• 42:33
  Speaker 26: Do you guys maybe off the top of your head
• 42:36
  Speaker 26: know the number of people that responded?
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: Honestly, I don't.
• 42:39
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was, it's like 20 ish.
• 42:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 42:42
  Speaker 8: It's not, it's, it's not going to be a massive number,
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: but like.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: That's not our business either. I mean, we're not a survey.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: I'm not, I'm not running. I'm not running actual polls
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: for the U S government. We're doing a radio show
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: to see, you know, what, what, what random people think
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: about things. But, I'll put it this way, man. If
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: someone ever tells you that what survey they did on
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: their radio show is somehow indicative of what we should
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: do with policy, that's probably an idiot.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Probably so, and he probably ended up lieutenant governor back
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: from his radio show when he did the same thing.
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: Have a great day. I always forget. I always forget
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: that he's a brother.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: He was one of us.
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: He's a brother in the game.
• 43:31
  Speaker 19: This is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family, and

  Speaker 19: As a parent, how do you respond when your child
• 44:15
  Speaker 19: messes up? Do you lower the boom, even if it's
• 44:18
  Speaker 19: a minor infraction? If so, it may be time to
• 44:21
  Speaker 19: rethink your strategy. This is Jim Daly with Focus on
• 44:24
  Speaker 19: the Family. Parents who embrace this approach might be classified
• 44:27
  Speaker 19: as authoritative. Their motto is, it's my way or the highway.
• 44:31
  Speaker 19: They run their home with an iron fist. they give
• 44:34
  Speaker 19: their kids very little freedom they also use reward and
• 44:37
  Speaker 19: punishment as a means of control and their children resent
• 44:41
  Speaker 19: them for it in his excellent book have a new
• 44:43
  Speaker 19: kid by friday dr kevin leeman offers some important tips
• 44:47
  Speaker 19: for parents who tend to be too authoritative First, it's much.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Better to give instruction firmly but quietly. Yelling simply isn't effective.
• 44:56
  Speaker 19: When authoritative parents use anger to communicate with their kids,
• 44:59
  Speaker 19: the children may obey, but it will be out of fear,
• 45:02
  Speaker 19: not out of respect. Second, moms and dads would do
• 45:06
  Speaker 19: well to remember that love is a.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Huge motivator for obedience.
• 45:09
  Speaker 19: In fact, our goal really should be to love our
• 45:12
  Speaker 19: kids and to mature adults. Disciplining in anger without love
• 45:16
  Speaker 19: will cause our children to become rebellious. Moms and dads
• 45:19
  Speaker 19: should never insult, make threats, or react when dealing with
• 45:22
  Speaker 19: a disobedient child. Discipline can be firm without being harsh.
• 45:27
  Speaker 19: By being aware of the pitfalls of overly authoritative parenting,
• 45:30
  Speaker 19: moms and dads can avoid a lot of heartache for themselves.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: And for their kids.
• 45:35
  Speaker 19: Respect is gained through gentle but firm discipline and instruction.

• 46:10
  Speaker 15: what they were paying before. Most of our members end
• 46:13
  Speaker 15: up saving thousands and even may improve.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Their credit scores.
• 46:17
  Speaker 15: By as much as 200 points. I know from the
• 46:20
  Speaker 15: bottom of my heart that I'm making a difference in
• 46:22
  Speaker 15: the lives of the people we help. It just makes
• 46:25
  Speaker 15: me really happy.

  Speaker 28: Good morning. I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update

• 47:43
  Speaker 28: A & M football team secured its first conference win
• 47:46
  Speaker 28: of the season and its 800th win in program history,
• 47:49
  Speaker 28: downing Arkansas 34-7. The Aggies capitalized on safety Dalton Brooks'
• 47:54
  Speaker 28: interception in the opening drive with a two-yard rushing score
• 47:57
  Speaker 28: from freshman running back Carson Baker to tally the first
• 48:01
  Speaker 28: points of the contest. Head coach Mike Elko spoke about
• 48:04
  Speaker 28: how the team bounced back into the win column this week.
• 48:07
  Speaker 29: Proud of the response, challenged the guys to come out
• 48:10
  Speaker 29: and play physical and control the line of scrimmage, and
• 48:13
  Speaker 29: I thought we were able to do that. I thought
• 48:15
  Speaker 29: we were able to establish the run offensively, and when
• 48:18
  Speaker 29: the game was still in doubt defensively, I thought we
• 48:20
  Speaker 29: were able to take the run away. I think it
• 48:22
  Speaker 29: got a little bit looser in the second half as
• 48:23
  Speaker 29: we got a little bit looser in coverage. Did a
• 48:25
  Speaker 29: really nice job on special teams, trying to control the
• 48:27
  Speaker 29: game that way, and then obviously won the turnover battle,
• 48:30
  Speaker 29: won nothing. Thought we did a good job protecting the football,
• 48:32
  Speaker 29: and so... It was good to bounce back. It was
• 48:34
  Speaker 29: good to get back in the win column and push
• 48:36
  Speaker 29: this thing back in a positive direction. And now we've
• 48:39
  Speaker 29: got to go have a great week of prep and
• 48:41
  Speaker 29: a great week of practice and then go back on
• 48:43
  Speaker 29: the road and play a really, really good Missouri team.
• 48:45
  Speaker 28: Kicker David Olano also hit a 57-yard field goal to
• 48:49
  Speaker 28: end the first half, which was a career-long and marked
• 48:52
  Speaker 28: the longest-made field goal since Terrence Kitchen's 62-yarder against South
• 48:56
  Speaker 28: Mississippi in 1999. Olano shared his thoughts on his career-long
• 49:01
  Speaker 28: field goal.
• 49:02
  Speaker 13: First and foremost, I've got to give glory to God.
• 49:05
  Speaker 13: I mean, it's such a blessing to be in this position,
• 49:08
  Speaker 13: come out here every Saturday with brothers, just play with
• 49:11
  Speaker 13: the abilities that he gifted us. But yeah, I mean, honestly,
• 49:13
  Speaker 13: it felt amazing. I mean, you know, you want those moments,
• 49:16
  Speaker 13: especially before half, to go out there and double dip. possibly,
• 49:20
  Speaker 13: make a field goal and come out of half knowing
• 49:22
  Speaker 13: that we're on offense. But, man, that felt good. I mean,
• 49:24
  Speaker 13: I knew I had the range for it. Loved that
• 49:26
  Speaker 13: coach trusted me with that. I mean, obviously loved that.
• 49:29
  Speaker 13: I was able to convert that and kind of help
• 49:31
  Speaker 13: the team in that way going into the half.
• 49:33
  Speaker 28: Up next, the Aggies hit the road on Saturday to
• 49:35
  Speaker 28: travel to Columbia for a conference matchup against the Missouri
• 49:39
  Speaker 28: Tigers with kickoff set for 11 a.m. To kick off
• 49:43
  Speaker 28: the weekend, the Aggie volleyball team sweeped Alabama on Friday
• 49:46
  Speaker 28: night at Reed Arena, then turned around on Sunday afternoon
• 49:49
  Speaker 28: and sweeped Mississippi State as well, securing the maroon and
• 49:53
  Speaker 28: white six straight win and fourth consecutive sweep after downing
• 49:56
  Speaker 28: Mississippi State. Head coach Jamie Morrison recapped the Aggies' recent performances.
• 50:02
  Speaker 30: I thought the match had its ups and downs in
• 50:03
  Speaker 30: terms of, I don't know, the way we played and
• 50:05
  Speaker 30: the urgency that we had throughout it. But as I
• 50:07
  Speaker 30: told our team, the ability to have some grit and
• 50:09
  Speaker 30: prop and solve is one of the most important things
• 50:10
  Speaker 30: we talk about. So I thought we did that at
• 50:12
  Speaker 30: a really, really high level today. I think, one, being
• 50:14
  Speaker 30: at home, we were able to work on a few
• 50:15
  Speaker 30: things that we needed to get better at. And it's
• 50:17
  Speaker 30: interesting because like whenever you do that, you kind of
• 50:19
  Speaker 30: have these blocks and the fall is hard when, especially non-con,
• 50:22
  Speaker 30: when you have a match every three or four days,
• 50:23
  Speaker 30: it's really hard to kind of, I got what I
• 50:24
  Speaker 30: call break a skill. And then really, we really shatter
• 50:27
  Speaker 30: skills during the spring, but can we kind of break
• 50:28
  Speaker 30: things a little bit during the fall and then put
• 50:30
  Speaker 30: them back together by Friday and Saturday or Friday and
• 50:32
  Speaker 30: Sunday rather. And I think we've been doing that a
• 50:35
  Speaker 30: little bit of kind of like working on these little
• 50:36
  Speaker 30: systems within, and then you got to put the pieces
• 50:38
  Speaker 30: back together.
• 50:38
  Speaker 10: So.
• 50:39
  Speaker 30: I think that's one of the things I've probably enjoyed
• 50:40
  Speaker 30: the most, kind of getting to work on a couple
• 50:42
  Speaker 30: things within this that we need to get better at.
• 50:44
  Speaker 30: And then, again, kind of see it come to fruition. And, again,
• 50:47
  Speaker 30: I think things will smooth out as we get further
• 50:49
  Speaker 30: and further into SEC play.
• 50:50
  Speaker 28: Next up, the Aggies head to Oklahoma to face the
• 50:53
  Speaker 28: Sooners Wednesday night with first serve set for 6 o'clock.
• 50:56
  Speaker 28: And you can watch the game on SEC Network. The
• 50:59
  Speaker 28: Aggie men's golf team completed the first two rounds of
• 51:02
  Speaker 28: the Fighting Irish Classic on Sunday and sits in a
• 51:04
  Speaker 28: three-way tie for second at 2-over-562 after 36 holes at
• 51:10
  Speaker 28: the Warren Golf Course. And the final round of the
• 51:13
  Speaker 28: tournament is set for today. In the NFL yesterday, the
