- 0:02Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
- 0:07Speaker 1: Venezuelan national was shot by ICE agents in Austin Sunday afternoon.
- 0:12Speaker 2: That person was transported to Dale Seton Medical Center with
- 0:16Speaker 2: a gunshot wound, is in stable condition.
- 0:19Speaker 1: That's Austin Mayor Kirk Watson. While holding a press conference
- 0:22Speaker 1: in Austin yesterday, he warned of the dangers of releasing
- 0:25Speaker 1: rumors instead of facts.
- 0:27Speaker 2: People moving too quickly and moving making assumptions that might
- 0:33Speaker 2: be there in their own heads, what they end up
- 0:35Speaker 2: doing is they enhance the fear. They enhance something being wrong,
- 0:39Speaker 2: and then it's very difficult to rein it back in.
- 0:43Speaker 2: As we have more information, we're going to make that
- 0:45Speaker 2: information available to you. But we wanted to get in
- 0:48Speaker 2: front of this as quickly as we could, even though
- 0:51Speaker 2: we know it's extremely preliminary, it's extremely early.
- 0:55Speaker 1: 28-year-old Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez had final orders for removal.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Austin Petey was not involved in the operation and do
- 1:03Speaker 1: not typically assist ICE operations in the city. For the
- 1:06Speaker 1: second time in less than a week, a local law
- 1:08Speaker 1: enforcement agency has made a bust for organized retail theft.
- 1:12Speaker 1: College Station police were called to the Target in the
- 1:15Speaker 1: 2100 block of Texas Avenue South around 8.30 Thursday evening
- 1:18Speaker 1: for reports that two women were stealing jewelry. Surveillance video
- 1:22Speaker 1: showed 23-year-old Tanya Cruz Mateo and 20-year-old Brenda Sanchez Hernandez
- 1:27Speaker 1: removing jewelry from its packaging and and pocketing the items.
- 1:31Speaker 1: The women were identified using Mexican passports. Cruz Mateo was
- 1:35Speaker 1: stopped by security with nearly $ 200 worth of merchandise. She
- 1:39Speaker 1: was charged with organized retail theft between $ 100 and $ 750
- 1:42Speaker 1: and is being held on $ 10, 000 bond. Her partner, Sanchez Hernandez,
- 1:48Speaker 1: discarded items in a restroom trash can before leaving the store.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Police recovered just over $ 50 in jewelry. She was charged
- 1:56Speaker 1: with organized theft under $ 100 and tampering with evidence. She's
- 2:00Speaker 1: being held on a $ 25, 000 bond. Some construction getting underway
- 2:04Speaker 1: in College Station. Starting today, Marion Pugh will be fully
- 2:08Speaker 1: closed from the Stadium View southern exit to south of
- 2:11Speaker 1: Luther Street. That will last for about two weeks as
- 2:14Speaker 1: crews install water, wastewater, and storm crossings. However, the entire
- 2:19Speaker 1: rehab project is expected to continue until after the first
- 2:22Speaker 1: of the year. You can visit WTAW.com for updates on closures.
- 2:27Speaker 1: As always, be patient, exercise caution, and expect delays when
- 2:31Speaker 1: traveling through work zones.
- 2:33Speaker 3: The U.S.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Military is shooting down cartel-linked drones with lasers in the
- 2:38Speaker 1: Rio Grande Valley. Allie Bradley has more.
- 2:41Speaker 4: The military says 300 drones have been defeated along the U.S.
- 2:44Speaker 4: southern border this year, 100 in August alone. And military
- 2:48Speaker 4: officials have reported a 75 percent decrease in detections of
- 2:53Speaker 4: those cartel-linked drones here along the southern border in the
- 2:56Speaker 4: Rio Grande Valley since that high-energy laser was deployed at the.
- 3:00Speaker 5: End of August.
- 3:00Speaker 1: The counter-drone push is being attributed to a rise in
- 3:03Speaker 1: narcotic seizures because agents now have the resources to pursue
- 3:07Speaker 1: drug smuggling more aggressively. More news on the way at 6.30

- 3:43Speaker 6: That was a weird weekend.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Very strange.
- 3:45Speaker 6: Did you go to the game or no?
- 3:47Speaker 1: I did not go to the game. I woke up
- 3:50Speaker 1: Saturday morning after doing PA for the ballpark at the
- 3:54Speaker 1: new Consol Stadium for that game. I woke up Saturday morning.
- 3:57Speaker 1: I was at HEB when they opened because I knew
- 4:01Speaker 1: what the day was going to look like.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Laid in some grocery supplies, ran back to the house,
- 4:05Speaker 1: put those away, strapped on the sombrero, and I got
- 4:09Speaker 1: to yard working.
- 4:10Speaker 7: Oh.
- 4:11Speaker 1: And worked in the yard until about noon, came in
- 4:14Speaker 1: the house, grabbed something to eat, took a nap, woke
- 4:17Speaker 1: up in time to watch the Aggie football debacle. Earlier
- 4:21Speaker 1: in the day, I've got a good friend who lives
- 4:23Speaker 1: in Kentucky. We went to college together, but just like me,
- 4:27Speaker 1: a grew up here. He grew up there. So he's
- 4:30Speaker 1: a Kentucky fan and all morning long, he was badgering
- 4:33Speaker 1: me to take the bet. What was the bet on
- 4:37Speaker 1: A & M versus Kentucky?
- 4:38Speaker 3: What was the bet?
- 4:39Speaker 1: We typically, we bet high in bourbons. Oh, so, Oh,
- 4:43Speaker 1: and you wouldn't, you wouldn't lay. He was asking for
- 4:46Speaker 1: 21 points. And at that point in time, look, even
- 4:49Speaker 1: when we did, he was asking, dude, that's the, the spread.
- 4:52Speaker 1: That's the spread was growing.
- 4:54Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 4:54Speaker 1: And I wasn't even, I wasn't even real comfortable. Look,
- 4:57Speaker 1: But we made our picks on Friday.
- 4:59Speaker 3: 21 points. And it was 10. The Vegas line was 10.
- 5:02Speaker 1: But as of game time, as of Friday after we
- 5:05Speaker 1: did our stuff, it went as high as 17.
- 5:08Speaker 3: And so he went, yeah, that's stupid.
- 5:11Speaker 1: He even threw this out here. He said, I bet
- 5:14Speaker 1: a longhorn would take the bet. And I was like,
- 5:15Speaker 1: that's precisely why I'm not going to do it. Because
- 5:18Speaker 1: those guys are idiots.
- 5:21Speaker 3: That is a dumb bet.
- 5:22Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 5:22Speaker 3: I was like, what, are your.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Peer pressure going to work on me?
- 5:24Speaker 3: No.
- 5:25Speaker 7: No.
- 5:26Speaker 1: So I didn't take the bet. And gratefully. Gratefully. But, hey,
- 5:29Speaker 1: when it came to our picks, I took Ole Miss.
- 5:31Speaker 3: You did take Ole Miss.
- 5:33Speaker 9: Vandy?
- 5:33Speaker 1: Vandy paid off, too?
- 5:35Speaker 3: Vandy did pay off.
- 5:36Speaker 6: The Vandy thing was just fun. I would like to
- 5:42Speaker 6: remind people it could be so much worse. Yes, that
- 5:45Speaker 6: was a horrible game. Yes, losing to Kentucky by 10
- 5:48Speaker 6: points at home is embarrassing and a real problem. That said,
- 5:54Speaker 6: it wasn't Vandy... and NC State where that's just never
- 6:00Speaker 6: happened before. All you had to do was walk out
- 6:04Speaker 6: of the back of the end zone. If you're not familiar,
- 6:06Speaker 6: NC State was up. They had six seconds left. They're
- 6:08Speaker 6: going to try to run out the clock. Now, to
- 6:10Speaker 6: run out the clock because they had a three-point lead,
- 6:12Speaker 6: their thought was like, okay, we're just going to have
- 6:14Speaker 6: the quarterback go backwards.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Hang out at the end zone.
- 6:16Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 6:17Speaker 1: And they were, they were snapping the ball from like
- 6:19Speaker 1: the three or four yard line.
- 6:20Speaker 6: So when he was like, you know, whenever there's someone
- 6:21Speaker 6: gets close, you know, you take a knee, get a safety,
- 6:24Speaker 6: but hopefully you burn all six seconds.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Throw the ball out of the back of the end zone,
- 6:27Speaker 1: whatever you got to do.
- 6:29Speaker 3: So he's, he's sitting there and he's like doing that thing.
- 6:31Speaker 3: They kind of keep away.
- 6:32Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden someone hits him and
- 6:34Speaker 6: helmet hits the ball, pops it, lose fumble, touchdown Vanderbilt.
- 6:38Speaker 3: You lose, sir. Good day.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And you cover the spread.
- 6:41Speaker 3: And you cover the spread.
- 6:43Speaker 6: Everyone who picked Vandy got a little bit of a bonus. And,
- 6:49Speaker 6: of course, if you just don't like Lane Kiffin, that
- 6:52Speaker 6: was a spectacular Saturday.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Ole Miss was America's team, arguably, on Saturday night.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Everyone wanted him to win.
- 6:59Speaker 6: No one cheers for LSU that's not some Cajun person.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Corn dog eating. Those people got crazy over there. I
- 7:07Speaker 1: saw pictures of a Jeep that was covered in corn dogs.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I like the birds, man, the birds.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Okay, so let's, your daughter was in.
- 7:16Speaker 1: My daughter was there. She was at the game.
- 7:18Speaker 3: What was her, what did she see? What was she reporting?
- 7:22Speaker 1: She said it was one of the wildest, craziest games.
- 7:25Speaker 1: And look, Ole Miss fans aren't used to sticking around
- 7:29Speaker 1: to the end of the game.
- 7:29Speaker 11: No.
- 7:30Speaker 12: Right?
- 7:31Speaker 1: Even win or lose, they are back to the Grove
- 7:33Speaker 1: drinking by the half.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:35Speaker 1: And typically don't come back. Obviously, they stuck around for
- 7:38Speaker 1: this one. They were fired up. There was some inappropriate
- 7:42Speaker 1: chanting going on.
- 7:43Speaker 6: I would like to mention that never once, and this
- 7:47Speaker 6: is on ABC, by the way.
- 7:48Speaker 3: I guess it wasn't Diaz. I was watching on ABC.
- 7:50Speaker 1: It was on the network.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Not cable.
- 7:54Speaker 6: There had to have been more F-bombs during that game,
- 7:57Speaker 6: during the game, with the chants, than I have ever heard.
- 8:01Speaker 1: On any broad, not to mention after the game and
- 8:04Speaker 1: the post game, even, yeah, even, even Chambliss.
- 8:06Speaker 13: Hey, yeah.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Trinidad was like, ah, that's it.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Can we just, can we just agree that it doesn't
- 8:15Speaker 6: really matter so much anymore? From that CC standpoint, we're
- 8:18Speaker 6: gonna say, okay, you know, we're just gonna let it, we're.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Just gonna let it go.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I was on the Oxford what's happening in Oxford Facebook page.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Cause I like trolling there and I did a great job.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Because people were like, you know, the women clutching their
- 8:30Speaker 1: pearls saying, oh, my gosh, what about the children? Think
- 8:34Speaker 1: of the children.
- 8:34Speaker 3: The decency.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Like, look, if you think that your child is going
- 8:38Speaker 1: to go through life without hearing that word, use it
- 8:42Speaker 1: as a teachable moment. Explain why it's inappropriate. You know,
- 8:45Speaker 1: that sort of thing.
- 8:46Speaker 3: I saw the TikToks. The kids were far worse.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I mean, obviously. It's on brand for Ole Miss to
- 8:53Speaker 1: do that because they don't give any of the word
- 8:56Speaker 1: that they were talking about. They care not at all.
- 8:59Speaker 1: And really, it's on brand for them. I was wondering,
- 9:02Speaker 1: in fact, whether or not the university was going to
- 9:04Speaker 1: ask Chambliss to come back. and apologized.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Don't get me wrong.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Well, he did it anyway.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Oh, did he?
- 9:10Speaker 1: But I think it might have been his mama and
- 9:12Speaker 1: not the university.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Son, what are you doing? Son, what are you doing?
- 9:16Speaker 1: Kid's got a Heisman campaign underway.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Act like you've been there before, Trinidad.
- 9:20Speaker 1: There you go.
- 9:20Speaker 3: We don't need any of that nonsense. Yeah, that's the problem.
- 9:23Speaker 3: It's not embarrassing. It's going to embarrass your mom.
- 9:26Speaker 6: As for any red-blooded American male, that's the bottom line.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I just wish that we had been in a position
- 9:33Speaker 1: to cuss boisterously at the end of our game.
- 9:36Speaker 3: There were plenty of people cussing boisterously. Plenty of people
- 9:39Speaker 3: cussing boisterously.
- 9:41Speaker 1: But not in joy.
- 9:43Speaker 6: I was at dinner, and the people coming in were just,
- 9:46Speaker 6: I mean, just saltier than sandwich, man.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Got some things to work on. Would hate to be
- 9:51Speaker 1: in practice this week.
- 9:54Speaker 3: It's going to be a bad day.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:56Speaker 3: All right. Let's have a show, guys. And now for
- 9:58Speaker 3: the bonus round.
- 10:00Speaker 14: Who imposes property taxes state government nice try but.
- 10:06Speaker 15: No local governments correct and we have a.
- 10:10Speaker 16: Winner Here's Governor Greg Abbott on his plan to control
- 10:14Speaker 16: property taxes.
- 10:15Speaker 17: The state of Texas does not impose a property tax.
- 10:18Speaker 17: Only local governments impose property taxes. One of the reasons
- 10:22Speaker 17: why your property taxes are going up is because local
- 10:25Speaker 17: governments are increasing their spending.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So the first thing we got to do.
- 10:29Speaker 17: Is to stop the spending that leads to property tax increases.
- 10:34Speaker 17: You should have a say on whether or not your
- 10:36Speaker 17: property taxes go up. It should be a vote that
- 10:39Speaker 17: requires two-thirds vote before any property tax increase can ever
- 10:43Speaker 17: be imposed on our fellow Texans. You're going to be
- 10:46Speaker 17: able to live in your home for the rest of
- 10:48Speaker 17: your lives without being priced out of it.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Protecting homeowners, lowering property taxes. That's Governor Greg Abbott. Political
- 10:55Speaker 1: ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.

- 12:24Speaker 6: It's Monday. And, yeah, we're going to try to avoid
- 12:29Speaker 6: reflecting on Kentucky as much as we can. And, honestly,
- 12:33Speaker 6: we're not going to reflect on LSU much either because
- 12:35Speaker 6: it's kind of tight.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Ellis who? Is anyone going?
- 12:38Speaker 6: Anyone going down to the Swamp?
- 12:42Speaker 3: Death Valley.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I'm sure they are.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Any of y'all?
- 12:44Speaker 18: I don't know.
- 12:45Speaker 3: Anyone still making that trip?
- 12:47Speaker 1: The pictures I sent you and the video you sent
- 12:50Speaker 1: me of the carnage that was left over. We're going
- 12:54Speaker 1: to talk about that here in a little bit.
- 12:56Speaker 3: I would like to address that.
- 12:58Speaker 6: And I will post that to social because holy cow.
- 13:02Speaker 6: I don't think Chili Fest looks as bad.
- 13:08Speaker 1: The day after what the video I saw. Of the
- 13:12Speaker 1: Grove and surrounding area.
- 13:13Speaker 3: On Sunday morning. That was a... That's something to see.
- 13:18Speaker 1: The trash looked like snowfall. It did.
- 13:21Speaker 3: It's like you can't even see grass. It's just cans.
- 13:24Speaker 1: And that's not unusual. Obviously, it was ramped up a
- 13:27Speaker 1: little bit because of the amount of people that were there.
- 13:29Speaker 3: They just throw their... You just... And just drop it.
- 13:32Speaker 1: On the ground? Look, that's the culture. That's the culture?
- 13:36Speaker 1: It destroys me because that thing... That would never happen here.
- 13:40Speaker 7: No.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Never happen here.
- 13:41Speaker 3: No, because you... They're trash cans. Like, I mean, I
- 13:45Speaker 3: presume they put trash cans in the Grove.
- 13:48Speaker 1: They did.
- 13:48Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 13:49Speaker 3: People just don't use them.
- 13:50Speaker 1: Well, they were overwhelmed. I mean, they were just flowing
- 13:53Speaker 1: over everywhere. But, I mean, and I know it's hard
- 13:55Speaker 1: to get in and out of the Grove and service
- 13:56Speaker 1: trash cans and things like that.
- 13:58Speaker 3: I'm sure it's a pain.
- 13:59Speaker 1: But I believe on A & M' s campus that that never,
- 14:02Speaker 1: ever under any circumstances would happen.
- 14:04Speaker 6: Can you imagine the smell of, like, the smell of
- 14:10Speaker 6: the Sunday morning... in the grove after that, because yeah,
- 14:13Speaker 6: they win, they go back.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I would not, I would not be shocked if they
- 14:16Speaker 1: uncovered some body underneath all of that. And much like,
- 14:21Speaker 1: much like Baton Rouge tailgating at LSU, the only difference
- 14:25Speaker 1: is you might actually discover a dead body in Baton Rouge.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
- 14:30Speaker 1: At Ole Miss, they're just unconscious.
- 14:31Speaker 3: At Ole Miss, they got enough sense to pay someone
- 14:33Speaker 3: to drag it off.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Yeah, the daughter was back home by 1218 that evening.
- 14:37Speaker 3: That's actually quite respectable.
- 14:38Speaker 1: There was no place for them to go. There was,
- 14:41Speaker 1: Every bar was at capacity. People were just in the streets.
- 14:45Speaker 1: They brought in 30 officers, by the way, from Alabama
- 14:49Speaker 1: to help out, among other state assets.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Street parties are the best parties.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Yeah, they are.
- 14:54Speaker 3: It's my jam.
- 14:56Speaker 19: All right.
- 14:57Speaker 3: It's the, oh. What do you know?
- 14:59Speaker 6: It is the 21st day of September, Will, 2026.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Yes, what's special about that?
- 15:06Speaker 6: Well, you should always remember the 21st day of September.
- 15:09Speaker 3: We've been taught that since we were young.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Yeah, we are.
- 15:11Speaker 3: It is, in fact, a recognized holiday.
- 15:14Speaker 11: Is it?
- 15:15Speaker 3: It is Earth, Wind, and Fire.
- 15:17Speaker 6: Day, specifically because of one of the greatest songs of
- 15:21Speaker 6: all time and arguably the best wedding playlist.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Song of all time, Work Big Kills. Doesn't matter, does it?
- 15:27Speaker 1: A couple of things about this song. So the date
- 15:30Speaker 1: is significant because that was actually the due date for
- 15:33Speaker 1: the lead singer's first child.
- 15:35Speaker 3: I say, I wish it was random.
- 15:37Speaker 1: This is just recent information.
- 15:39Speaker 10: Really?
- 15:39Speaker 1: That has come out.
- 15:40Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 15:42Speaker 1: And I guess the other thing is that if you
- 15:44Speaker 1: really wanted to destroy your workforce, you would do what
- 15:47Speaker 1: Disney is doing today. And that is at the Guardians
- 15:50Speaker 1: of the Galaxy ride. This is the only song that
- 15:53Speaker 1: will be played all day long.

- 31:40Speaker 1: and that, in turn, will bring down beef prices. The
- 31:44Speaker 1: Texas Department of Transportation is halting flock camera permits on
- 31:47Speaker 1: state roads as lawmakers call for tougher abuse penalties.
- 31:51Speaker 22: At the direction of Governor Abbott, TxDOTA suspended permits for
- 31:54Speaker 22: license plate reader cameras such as ones made by flock
- 31:57Speaker 22: along state highways and roads, although some 900 are already
- 32:01Speaker 22: in use. State Senator Charles Perry of Lubbock tells KXAN
- 32:04Speaker 22: he wants stronger misuse consequences for cops like termination and
- 32:08Speaker 22: civil liability.
- 32:09Speaker 20: It is incumbent.
- 32:11Speaker 27: That they are punished, not internally to a point where
- 32:14Speaker 27: nobody knew, but externally where the public can gain trust
- 32:18Speaker 27: and confidence.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Eric Lycum, TSN News. The suspension also applies to cameras
- 32:23Speaker 1: approved but not yet installed. Big changes are happening at
- 32:27Speaker 1: state colleges. The A & M Board of Regents recently
- 32:31Speaker 1: made changes to classes that qualify as credit for core
- 32:34Speaker 1: curriculum requirements. More schools around the state are now following suit.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Most of the classes dropped deal with race, gender, and sexuality.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Sherry Sylvester with the Texas Public Policy Foundation says this
- 32:46Speaker 1: is what lawmakers wanted.
- 32:48Speaker 20: What was important to the Texas legislature is that students
- 32:53Speaker 20: get a degree of value.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Sylvester points to studies showing that when race and gender
- 32:59Speaker 1: courses are not required, only a handful of students take them.
- 33:03Speaker 1: And at UT Austin, students are not even allowed to
- 33:06Speaker 1: apply as an ethnic or gender studies major. More news

- 35:11Speaker 6: I always love hearing from you guys throughout the show.
- 35:13Speaker 6: It's going to be hot today, but we do get
- 35:15Speaker 6: a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, which is a
- 35:18Speaker 6: big plus if it pays off down to the 70s tonight,
- 35:21Speaker 6: but getting up to around 96, 97 tomorrow. Chance of rain,
- 35:25Speaker 6: less so, but back up to a high of around
- 35:28Speaker 6: 100 degrees.
- 35:29Speaker 1: I'm really hoping we don't get any rain.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Yeah, again.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I really don't. I don't want it.
- 35:34Speaker 3: Crispy. We're going for crispy this week. You know, I
- 35:38Speaker 3: was last week.
- 35:41Speaker 6: We did this segment, and I thought to myself, you know,
- 35:44Speaker 6: I bet the Kentucky game is going to be a
- 35:46Speaker 6: different story. Because, you know, Arizona State, we had an
- 35:49Speaker 6: 11 a.m.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Kick.
- 35:50Speaker 6: It was hot as anything. But you didn't really have
- 35:52Speaker 6: that tailgate lead-in like you do for a 2.30 or
- 35:56Speaker 6: for a night game. And I look, and I turn
- 36:00Speaker 6: to Twitter, as we do every Monday, to recap the
- 36:04Speaker 6: arrests as documented by the Texas A & M- Police
- 36:08Speaker 6: Department's Twitter, one of the best things.
- 36:10Speaker 3: On the Internet.
- 36:11Speaker 1: It is great.
- 36:12Speaker 16: It is.
- 36:12Speaker 3: And I find not a lot of note, Will.
- 36:17Speaker 1: Not a ton.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Not a ton.
- 36:19Speaker 1: I was even, you know, during and after the game,
- 36:21Speaker 1: I was kind of looking, expecting some.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Well, yeah.
- 36:25Speaker 1: But the 2 o'clock kick. And the bad, you know,
- 36:29Speaker 1: kind of outcome, I think, tampered everything down. I honestly believe,
- 36:32Speaker 1: I think, not only was the team kind of not
- 36:34Speaker 1: hyped leading into this game, I'm not sure everybody else
- 36:37Speaker 1: was either.
- 36:38Speaker 6: I was told by several people, number one, the tickets
- 36:45Speaker 6: that were on sale in the secondary market, you could
- 36:47Speaker 6: get into the game for somewhere around 20 bucks.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Really?
- 36:51Speaker 3: Because there were so many people that were selling tickets.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Because it's an SEC game, but it's Kentucky. Right. It's
- 36:59Speaker 3: the third game in a row.
- 37:00Speaker 1: I think we as fans had an expectation that it
- 37:03Speaker 1: was going to be a cakewalk.
- 37:04Speaker 17: Right.
- 37:04Speaker 6: So a lot of people were dumping tickets. People that
- 37:08Speaker 6: went to the game told me the vibe was off.
- 37:10Speaker 6: It just wasn't the same. And again, part of that
- 37:14Speaker 6: could be that it's so hot. Like just so, so
- 37:19Speaker 6: hot outside. It's not really conducive necessarily to... people getting rowdy.
- 37:26Speaker 6: And sure enough, I find this reflected in the arrests
- 37:31Speaker 6: that we had. Like, the only stuff I see here
- 37:34Speaker 6: is kind of the stuff they do. I feel like
- 37:36Speaker 6: they were having to look for stuff.
- 37:38Speaker 1: People were hiding drinks. Some female subject saw the officer
- 37:42Speaker 1: chunked her white claw in the trash.
- 37:44Speaker 6: Yeah, someone dropped it truly on the ground and attempted
- 37:47Speaker 6: to hide in the crowd.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Female dropped her Smirnoff lemonade. Yeah, I mean, there was
- 37:52Speaker 1: only one Subject had difficulty maintaining balance. EMS contacted, released
- 37:59Speaker 1: a sober friend.
- 37:59Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, vaping in Section 117. Officer responded to a
- 38:03Speaker 6: subject who refused to stop vaping, and that suspect was ejected.
- 38:09Speaker 6: An intoxicated subject in 338. That could have just been
- 38:13Speaker 6: heat stroke. They reported to Section 338, then found him
- 38:18Speaker 6: passed out in a locked bathroom stall.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Ooh, okay, that one's good. Also over there in 338.
- 38:23Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Subject jumping over a wall from 339 to 338. His
- 38:28Speaker 1: ticket was in 350. He was ejected.
- 38:30Speaker 6: Can I mention that it's a little bit, whenever you
- 38:32Speaker 6: start jumping over walls in the 300s, I feel like
- 38:35Speaker 6: the consequences of that can be dramatic.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it exponentially increases the, hey, do you want a
- 38:41Speaker 1: little something from Oxford, Mississippi?
- 38:43Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes, I do.
- 38:44Speaker 1: From the Oxford, what's happening?
- 38:46Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. Do we have a version of this
- 38:48Speaker 3: in Oxford?
- 38:48Speaker 1: So I've been on the— I follow Oxford Police Department, and
- 38:54Speaker 1: I was on their stuff. And, of course, I'm on
- 38:56Speaker 1: the What's Happening in Oxford Facebook page.
- 38:59Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 38:59Speaker 1: And I think that the best thing out of all
- 39:02Speaker 1: of that, because they really handled it well in Oxford.
- 39:04Speaker 3: I was very— yeah, I thought— look.
- 39:06Speaker 6: We remember— some of you might remember that Kiffin, who does
- 39:09Speaker 6: this every six months or year or whatever, where he
- 39:12Speaker 6: just— He lights a fire and burns.
- 39:14Speaker 3: Down a whole college football team.
- 39:16Speaker 6: In Tennessee, when he came back to Tennessee, they had
- 39:19Speaker 6: to stop the game because people were pelting mustard. It
- 39:22Speaker 6: was mustard bottles.
- 39:24Speaker 3: It was a problem. Nothing like that.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Now, there were some fights that I saw. that were
- 39:30Speaker 1: handled okay. But this was posted on the What's Happening
- 39:33Speaker 1: in Oxford Facebook page. Sometime in the wee hours of
- 39:37Speaker 1: Sunday morning.
- 39:38Speaker 3: Okay.
- 39:39Speaker 1: ISO, which for you people who don't know, I seek
- 39:42Speaker 1: out someone to shampoo urine out of the backseat of
- 39:46Speaker 1: my car. Preferably a mobile detailing company or something similar.
- 39:49Speaker 1: I'm guessing this guy was Uber. Because there were a
- 39:52Speaker 1: ton of people trying to get in the ride share, folks.
- 39:54Speaker 1: We're going, hey, we're going to Oxford. We're going to
- 39:56Speaker 1: make some money.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 40:01Speaker 6: I understand exactly where that man is coming from. I
- 40:04Speaker 6: hate that for you.
- 40:04Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 40:05Speaker 3: I just hate that for you.
- 40:06Speaker 1: The smell never comes out.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Back after this.
- 40:10Speaker 18: Hi, this is Neil Sperry, and I'll be back with
- 40:12Speaker 18: today's Plant Talk Texas right after a word from our
- 40:15Speaker 18: sponsor and friends at Producers.
- 40:17Speaker 11: Ranchers, it's time for you to plan your cattle feed
- 40:20Speaker 11: and mineral requirements for your winter feeding program. Take advantage
- 40:24Speaker 11: of bulk contract prices and place your order at Producers
- 40:27Speaker 11: Cooperative between September 25th and October 17th. Reserve your feed
- 40:32Speaker 11: and minerals now and pick up or take delivery as
- 40:35Speaker 11: you need them. Contracting runs September 25th through October 17th
- 40:40Speaker 11: at Producers Cooperative. Everything nutrition since 1943.
- 40:47Speaker 18: Gardeners often ask about dividing shrubs and trailing ground covers
- 40:51Speaker 18: to get more plants. Well, that might work for a
- 40:53Speaker 18: few types of those plants, but it usually doesn't. Division
- 40:56Speaker 18: is almost exclusively reserved for clump-forming perennials. Since October is
- 41:01Speaker 18: prime time to divide many of these plants, let's take
- 41:04Speaker 18: a crop-by-crop look at how best it can be accomplished.
- 41:07Speaker 18: I'll be back with the facts of division right after
- 41:10Speaker 18: this message.
- 41:11Speaker 28: My book is Neil Sperry's Lone Star Gardening. I believe
- 41:15Speaker 28: it's the best work of my career. I self-published it.

- 41:22Speaker 28: no retail markups to run up your cost. As I

- 41:28Speaker 28: made before. While supplies last, I've reduced the price from $ 38. 95
- 41:33Speaker 28: on the jacket to the lowest price ever, only $ 24.
- 41:36Speaker 12: 95.

- 42:10Speaker 18: We're going to start our discussion of division with a
- 42:13Speaker 18: general overview. You're going to be digging established clumps of
- 42:16Speaker 18: each of the plants we'll talk about and then cutting
- 42:18Speaker 18: or breaking them into smaller pieces. Division works best when
- 42:21Speaker 18: the soil is fairly moist. Use a sharpshooter or flat-bladed
- 42:25Speaker 18: nursery spade to lift the established plants. You'll want to
- 42:29Speaker 18: have their new planting beds prepared ahead of time so
- 42:31Speaker 18: you can replant them immediately. Space them at the recommended
- 42:35Speaker 18: distances and give away or discard all the extra plants.
- 42:39Speaker 18: Let's start with daylilies, my favorite perennials. Divide the clumps
- 42:42Speaker 18: into single or double fans. Replanting spacings will vary depending
- 42:47Speaker 18: on the variety. Dwarfs should be spaced 10 to 12
- 42:50Speaker 18: inches apart. Tall varieties can double those distances. Cut the
- 42:54Speaker 18: plant's leaves back by half at the time of digging
- 42:56Speaker 18: to compensate for roots lost. Bearded iris, when your plants
- 43:01Speaker 18: get too thick and fail to bloom well, it's time
- 43:04Speaker 18: to divide them. Cut or break the clumps into individual fans.
- 43:08Speaker 18: Trim the leaves back by half and replant the rhizomes immediately.
- 43:12Speaker 18: They must be planted shallowly, hopefully not more than one
- 43:14Speaker 18: inch below the soil surface. Shasta daisies are perennials that
- 43:19Speaker 18: grow quickly and must be divided every couple of years.
- 43:23Speaker 18: Break the clusters of plants into individual plantlets and reset
- 43:26Speaker 18: them immediately. Small types can be planted eight inches apart,
- 43:29Speaker 18: while larger types will do better on 10 or 12
- 43:32Speaker 18: inch spacings. I love coneflowers. You'll want to handle Gloriosa
- 43:37Speaker 18: daisies and purple coneflowers, just as we described a moment
- 43:40Speaker 18: ago for Shasta daisies. You'll most probably have ample plants
- 43:44Speaker 18: to give anyone who wants to start. No trimming will
- 43:47Speaker 18: be needed except to remove any long-spent flower spikes and
- 43:51Speaker 18: seed heads.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Violets.
- 43:53Speaker 18: You're probably using these plants as low-bordering perennials. That's one
- 43:56Speaker 18: of their best callings. Break the big clumps into smaller
- 43:59Speaker 18: clusters that are about tennis ball-sized. and replant them 8
- 44:02Speaker 18: or 10 inches apart. You won't need to trim those
- 44:04Speaker 18: plants back. Mallows are hardy hibiscus. They're strong growing perennials.
- 44:09Speaker 18: They can exist for many years without being dug and divided. However,
- 44:13Speaker 18: if you want to increase your numbers, dig the clumps
- 44:15Speaker 18: late in October or early November. Use your sharpshooter spade
- 44:18Speaker 18: to cut each mother clump into two or three or
- 44:21Speaker 18: maybe four pieces. Don't try to break them down any farther.
- 44:25Speaker 18: I love hardy amaryllis, St. Joseph's lily, and it's a
- 44:28Speaker 18: plant that I dig and divide in the fall. I
- 44:30Speaker 18: do that with cannas after they freeze, and mums as well.
- 44:34Speaker 18: I'm Neal Sperry, responsibilities of the fall gardener in our
- 44:37Speaker 18: next Plant Talk Texas. Until then, happy gardening.

- 46:23Speaker 21: Good morning, I'm Riley Flurkey with your morning sports update
- 46:27Speaker 21: on 1620-945-WTAW. The Aggie football team fell 31-21 to Kentucky
- 46:34Speaker 21: in their SEC opener on Saturday afternoon at Kyle Field.
- 46:38Speaker 21: Following the loss, the Aggies fell 14 spots in the
- 46:41Speaker 21: AP poll, landing at number 23, and fell 12 spots
- 46:45Speaker 21: in the AFCA coaches poll, landing at number 20. Head
- 46:49Speaker 21: coach Mike Elko gave a brief recap of the game.
- 46:52Speaker 13: That's off to Kentucky. They came in here and they
- 46:54Speaker 13: beat our ass. Not good enough from us on any level, coaching, playing, performing, physicality, anything.
- 47:00Speaker 13: And so on me, I own it. It's my program.
- 47:03Speaker 13: I'm in charge of it. And we have to get
- 47:04Speaker 13: it fixed. Had a lot of eye violation issues. Did
- 47:07Speaker 13: a really, really poor job of putting our eyes where
- 47:09Speaker 13: they needed to go. You know, obviously they hit a
- 47:11Speaker 13: couple for sure where they just got, they beat us,
- 47:14Speaker 13: but felt like most of the ones in the second half,
- 47:16Speaker 13: it felt like we're, we're gimme's and you can't have
- 47:18Speaker 13: gimme's in this conference. And so, you know, we gotta,
- 47:21Speaker 13: we gotta figure out how to be better.
- 47:22Speaker 21: Coach Yelko also spoke about what the team needs to
- 47:25Speaker 21: do ahead of their first road game of the season.
- 47:28Speaker 13: Man up, you know, you figure out who you're about
- 47:30Speaker 13: in adversity. Everybody will quit on us. That's how this
- 47:33Speaker 13: thing works. It's never been about everybody. It's only been
- 47:36Speaker 13: about the people inside that locker room and the people
- 47:38Speaker 13: inside that locker room. Got to make a decision about
- 47:41Speaker 13: how they want to come together and how they want
- 47:42Speaker 13: to move forward. And so it'll be a pivotal seven
- 47:45Speaker 13: days for us in terms of how we respond, how

- 48:42Speaker 12: hostile environments against really good volleyball teams the entire time.
- 48:45Speaker 12: And I've always said whenever you're put in situations where
- 48:46Speaker 12: you have to grow, you're going to grow the fastest.
- 48:48Speaker 12: And I think this team's done that, whether it be, again,
- 48:50Speaker 12: playing a tough non-con schedule. We're not done with that yet.
- 48:53Speaker 12: We got Rice on Tuesday, or the second piece of it,

- 51:24Speaker 6: as it is to be an Aggie fan today, NC
- 51:28Speaker 6: State fandom, far worse.
- 51:30Speaker 20: Yes.
- 51:31Speaker 1: Far worse.
- 51:31Speaker 3: Yes.
- 51:33Speaker 6: I have a former colleague that is a big fan
- 51:36Speaker 6: of the Wolf Pack. And he is not in a
- 51:38Speaker 6: good way today.
- 51:39Speaker 1: I bet not.
- 51:39Speaker 3: And then nor should he be.
- 51:41Speaker 1: I have a good friend whose son is a cheerleader
- 51:44Speaker 1: on the Vandy sidelines who two years ago was an
- 51:47Speaker 1: offensive lineman for Vandy.
- 51:49Speaker 3: How does that happen?
- 51:52Speaker 1: Cam is an interesting kid, man. And yeah, he went
- 51:54Speaker 1: from being an offensive lineman in his freshman year, deciding
- 51:57Speaker 1: that that was getting in the way of his academics.
- 52:00Speaker 1: So his buddies talked him into playing rugby where they
- 52:02Speaker 1: won some sort of championship. And then this year, He's
- 52:07Speaker 1: on the sidelines having never cheered before. I got sent
- 52:10Speaker 1: a picture of Cam holding a cheerleader up with one hand.
- 52:14Speaker 3: Look at this. It's crazy. Look at the dude who's two.
- 52:16Speaker 3: There's a guy who's two.
- 52:18Speaker 6: Spots down from him that's probably done this his entire
- 52:20Speaker 6: life who looks like he is i mean he is
- 52:23Speaker 6: he's fighting for his life on this spot like you
- 52:25Speaker 6: can tell his back's all out and like the girl
- 52:27Speaker 6: looks like she might be falling over backwards or whatever
- 52:29Speaker 6: this dude it's like he's just checking his facebook by his.
- 52:33Speaker 1: Instagram playing stats were like six six two or 320
- 52:37Speaker 1: i think you're probably still sitting around three bills But, yeah,
- 52:41Speaker 1: you just throw in the nuts. But, yeah, I texted him.
- 52:44Speaker 1: I said, well, how's your cardiac condition after that game?
- 52:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:47Speaker 1: That's crazy. You're right. You're right, Jason.
- 52:49Speaker 3: We should be great.
- 52:50Speaker 1: Not as bad as being an NC State fan.
- 52:53Speaker 6: Also, you know, like if you have kids that you're
- 52:55Speaker 6: particularly proud of and grasp the world and you feel
- 52:59Speaker 6: like you're going to be confident to pursue a life
- 53:02Speaker 6: after they leave the nest, that's a real reason to
- 53:04Speaker 6: be grateful.
- 53:04Speaker 3: Because not all kids. Boy, not all kids.
- 53:08Speaker 6: There's this whole story about how the average young adult
- 53:12Speaker 6: doesn't understand that cash back means it's coming out of
- 53:17Speaker 6: your account.
- 53:18Speaker 3: This blew my mind.
- 53:21Speaker 1: How can we be developing artificial intelligence when we can't
- 53:25Speaker 1: get natural intelligence?
- 53:26Speaker 3: And I don't know. I guess you could blame schools
- 53:29Speaker 3: or whatever.
- 53:29Speaker 23: No, no.
- 53:30Speaker 3: This is parenting.
- 53:31Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 53:31Speaker 3: This is parenting.
- 53:32Speaker 1: Woman on TikTok. Complaining she had just found out she's
- 53:36Speaker 1: being scammed.
- 53:37Speaker 14: Right.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Because when she asked for cash back from a clerk
- 53:40Speaker 1: at the grocery store, they took it out of her
- 53:42Speaker 1: own bank account.
- 53:47Speaker 28: Yeah.
- 53:48Speaker 1: So what she thought was, you know, she gets coupons
- 53:51Speaker 1: from the cashier.
- 53:52Speaker 12: Right.
- 53:53Speaker 1: And looks at the amount she saved. They'll circle it.
- 53:55Speaker 1: You saved whatever, right?
- 53:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 53:57Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 53:58Speaker 1: She says it's usually around $ 50. So when she gets
- 54:01Speaker 1: asked if she wants to cash back.
- 54:03Speaker 3: Hey, Craig, let me get that $ 50. Let me get
- 54:06Speaker 3: that $ 50. Yeah, you're giving me $ 50, right?
- 54:08Speaker 1: And the worst thing is that she didn't even realize
- 54:11Speaker 1: it for a long, long time.
- 54:15Speaker 3: You know how many times this has happened, probably?
- 54:17Speaker 1: Why am I $ 50 short?
- 54:18Speaker 3: I'm so light in my bank account.
- 54:21Speaker 1: That grocery store is stealing money from me.
- 54:24Speaker 3: Absolutely incredible. Again, gratitude.
- 54:27Speaker 1: She votes.
- 54:28Speaker 3: Gratitude.
- 54:29Speaker 1: She votes.
- 54:30Speaker 16: Gratitude.
- 54:31Speaker 3: Gratitude.
