  Speaker 8: to 85 today. It's a little unusual. Also kind of
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: muggy outside. It's all going to change tomorrow. Don't worry
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: about it. Actually, it changed this afternoon. It started getting
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: really windy. By the afternoon tonight, 30% chance to see
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: some showers. Tomorrow, 90% chance you'll see some showers. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: it's going to get cold by Tuesday night.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Most of those showers, by the way, will happen right
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: around drive time. We should be on the air for
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: some of that tomorrow morning.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: Well, that's not bad. Honestly, clearing it out, just getting
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: all the crud out of the air, and then giving
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: people the rest of the day to go ahead and
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: do their civic duty is not terrible. Just bring a
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: sweater is all we're saying. And, yeah, enjoy some of
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: this fall temperatures we'll be getting. Coming up starting tomorrow night,
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: weather is brought to you by our friends at Malik
• 5:48

  Speaker 8: Malik Service Company and a whole home backup generator from Generac.

  Speaker 8: Call Malik to schedule your appointment today.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's not always weather that can cause the power outage.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's the wildlife.
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: It has been confirmed, by the way, that the Brian Broadcasting...
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: power outage of 2026.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The Brian Broadcasting blackout, the triple B.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: That crippled the show and we feared the radio station
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: for a few hours was caused by a raccoon. They're just,
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, you just never know.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: They're mischievous.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: Just crazy. I want to ask you your feelings on accents.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: What do you think is the best accent of all
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: the dialects we have here in the United States of America.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: What do you find the most pleasing?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So you're talking about a uniquely American accent?
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: Well, no, just the one that you find the most
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: pleasing to the ears.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Globally?
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: No, no, just in America. Because we could go, I mean,
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: you could take this all the way around the world,
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: but we have so many in the States, I don't.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Feel the need to talk about the British people or
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the French. Generally speaking, a Southern accent is where it's at.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You can get, of course, a Texas accent is a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: little bit different than a Southern accent, and it's not
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: quite a Western accent. Uh, but yeah, a good old
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Texas drawl or a good old Southern South Louisiana.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: I'd agree with that. I, I, I'd say, and part
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: of this, because I'm sure, you know, I'm Texan. Uh,
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: it is different than the South. It is different from
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: the West. It is Texas.
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: And that, that gives its own flavor.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And even within Texas, there's so many different.
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: So many Southern is probably, probably right up there for
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: me as well.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Do you have a worst?
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: Uh, They have one that just grates on you more
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: than others.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a bunch of them up in New England,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: but maybe the Boston accent might be the thing. Do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you ever fly through Boston in your travels? I've not
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: been to Boston since the great garbage strike of 1979. Oh,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that was it? You were there for that? Yeah, I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: was staying overnight in Boston.
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that'll tend to change your perspective. It doesn't smell
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: that much different.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: I say that jokingly. I love Boston.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I hear great things about Boston.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: It's one of my favorite cities to visit.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Very historic town.
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: So much history, so much great food, worst accents you
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: can find anywhere. It's abrasive. The Boston accent is abrasive.
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: Now they are auditioning people to be the new voice
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: of Logan International Airport.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: My agent did not send that one to me.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: They didn't because they wanted people specifically, follow me on this,
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: a voice that feels like home. So they got four
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: different people with heavy Boston accents. Let's listen to the
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: four finalists that we have.
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: Welcome to Boston Logan International Airport, front door to the
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: capital of heart, hustle, and hometown pride.
• 8:47

• 8:51
  Speaker 11: team spirit. So let's go!
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Whether you're grabbing a lobster roll by the harbor, waiting
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: in line for a cannoli in the North End, heading
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: out to Gloucester for a little salt air.
• 9:01
  Speaker 12: Or paying your respects to the Green Monster like it's
• 9:03
  Speaker 12: the sacred landmark, because it is, we're wicked glad You're here.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. Next to last one was a little.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: I know we're in election season. And there's a lot
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: of choosing between lesser of two evils going on. So,
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: let's just choose between lesser of four. Who gets it
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: out of those four voices?
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The last one for me.
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: The last one?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: The last one for me really. I just, in that voice,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I hear, you know, being raised in a slum neighborhood. Right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I hear the alcoholism in the family.
• 9:34
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I know that maybe there's a cousin that's in criminal activity.
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: Barely being able to hold down a job for more.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Than six months. Now, the next to last guy, his
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was too clean.
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: No, that's the one for me is voice number three.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: I'm going to play him again just so we can
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: all hear.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The same thing. Voice number two is nice, but it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't have enough of the affection.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: Throw that right in the trash. I don't know what voice.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Number three is.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Number one was.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It didn't seem right on. One more pass. Give us
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: another shot.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: Welcome to Boston Logan International Airport, front door to the
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: capital of heart. hustle and hometown pride it's just.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: Not there's not enough there and again i i actually
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: like her voice.
• 10:15

  Speaker 11: Two this city runs on iced coffee raw ambition and
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: unbeatable team spirit so let's go.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: I think that she might get it because i can
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: almost see a character being formed around that obnoxious Airport voice. Like,
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: that is the voice that you would hear screaming something
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: at you about.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't hear it in there. I think
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: she's too, it's almost like she's too polished.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: She tried, she tried to take away.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: Do you think there's effort there?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I think she tried to take away from her natural ability.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Whether you're grabbing a lobster roll by the harbor. That's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the guy. Waiting in line for a cannoli in the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: north end. He's too polished. For a little salt there.
• 10:55
  Speaker 12: Or paying your respects to the green monster like it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 12: the sacred landmark because it is.
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: We're wicked glad.
• 11:01
  Speaker 15: You're here.
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: That's the guy right there. That last voice says to
• 11:05

• 11:08
  Speaker 8: bookie somewhere.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Exactly. That screams Boston.
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: Okay, so can we have two? Can we have that
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: guy as the main one and then put this guy
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: in maybe the lounges?

• 11:24
  Speaker 12: the sacred landmark, because it is, we're wicked glad you're here.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't even have auditioned for this. They just could

  Speaker 14: and that's the child.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: Blessed are the trans children.
• 14:32
  Speaker 14: To the trans kids watching at home, I just want
• 14:35
  Speaker 14: to say I love you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: God is non-binary.

• 15:23
  Speaker 8: point in time. Always love hearing from you. We were
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: talking about the.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: Possibility that even though we're struggling getting through daylight savings
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: time right now i'm just day old and frankly i'm
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: sorry it wrecks me every single time yeah i hate
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: it i and you were doing the math on this
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: it's almost 90 when you add everything i was probably
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: 90 percent of america.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was like 52 percent what daylight savings time
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and year round 40 some odd bird 38 percent what
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: it was real close to a hundred percent of people
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: said just one or.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: The other, because again, this isn't a divisive issue. The
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: thing we can all agree on is you just want
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: to stop changing times. We just want to stop. Um,
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: and I wonder how it would affect, you know, maybe
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: it wouldn't affect this all that much because they were
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: talking about how much sleep we get for, you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: per state. And I'm sure it's because right now we're
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: all tired because daylight savings and, oh yeah, an election
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: happening right now tends to cause a little bit of anxiety.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: I'd imagine. Um, Have you seen this piece, first of all,
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: about the average sleep time?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: Does anything jump out at you in particular about the
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: stats within this article?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: The first line.
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: What's that?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: According to a study, the average American sleep start time
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: is 11.37 p.m.
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: That's late, man.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know who these people are.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: That's late.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, even if you factored in my teenage daughter,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I offset that completely by going to bed at 8.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but, dude, 1130 every night? Like, you don't even
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: get to the point until you're almost midnight? Oh, that's
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: not going to bedtime.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: That's when you pass out. Okay.
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: By the way, how much sleep are you supposed to
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: get a.
• 17:13
  Speaker 20: Night, Will?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Well, the old adage was eight hours. I haven't seen
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: that since I don't know when.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: The average amount of hours we get in the state
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: of Texas, by the way, in the state of Texas,
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: 1143 is when apparently we.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: All fall asleep even later.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: 6.6 hours per night is what the average person.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I'm under that. I don't want to be under that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: How much sleep do you get a night?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say, so when I generally get into bed,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at somewhere around six hours before the alarm
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: goes off.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: But then falling asleep, that's probably in the five to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: five and a half hour range, depending on how much
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: noise the rest of the house is making.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: Okay. See, this is the thing. It's like I never
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: really know. Again, the old adage is eight hours. I
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: think we can all agree that no one gets eight
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: hours anymore. Unless you live some kind of charmed life,
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: there's no way anyone gets eight hours of sleep a night.
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: Just not possible. But what is your average, like, when
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: it really comes down to it? I would bet that
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: five hours a night is actually probably closer to what
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: most people in reality get.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Now, I try to grab that bonus siesta. Big fan
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: of the siesta.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: See, but that's the thing. I think to myself, oh, jeez,
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: I never get any sleep because I'm having to wake
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: up early in the morning. But no, I actually, if
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: I go by the clock, I'm probably getting about five
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: and a half, six.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Hours of sleep.
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: Is that the actual average?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I bet it is.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: For people who work, for people who have lives, how
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: could you possibly get any more than that? I think
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: a lot of people are doing it without a nap.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure they are.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: And to me, that's insane.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Of course, those people are slamming energy drinks.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: Whatever it takes.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: To be fair, Friday was brought to you by five-hour
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: energy when it came to my life.
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: So I wanted to test this out today, and we
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: do have some tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival. So
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: one of you, just for participation, is going to win
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: a pair of tickets to RinFest, one of the last
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: weekends before it all ends. Because we're in November, y'all.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: You've got like three weekends and a Thanksgiving Friday before
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: we shut this thing down. 979-695-1620. Ballpark average. Again, think
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: about it for a second. How much sleep do you
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: get a night? On average. And again, if you're one
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: of those people gets eight or nine or 10, tell
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: us about it because I want to be jealous of you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: But seriously, how much sleep do you average a night?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: 10 hours. I can't even conceive of that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: I don't see it again. I don't know what kind
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: of charmed life you would have to live to get
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: more than eight, but I'd like that life. I wouldn't.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. Oh, geez.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: That's the dream. Feeling awake once again. Feeling awake ever?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: No, I'm saying, look, a great eight hours would do,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: but ten is too much. I'd wake up. I mean,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: that's like having been in a coma. You'd be like,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: what happened while I was out?
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: 979-695-1620 is our phone number. You can text us. Howdy,
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: you're on the radio. What you got?
• 20:29
  Speaker 21: My fervent prayer is that soon you'll be getting eight.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: And a half or nine hours of sleep a night.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: As I do.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: How do you make that happen, sir?
• 20:42
  Speaker 21: Well, I am a man of independent means and of
• 20:45
  Speaker 21: a certain age.
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: Oh, what a luxury. What a luxury, sir. So how
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: do you feel every morning when you wake up with
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: your full night of sleep?
• 20:57
  Speaker 20: Just rocking ready to go.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: Man, I can only, I mean, one day.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: When I wake up in the morning, I feel rocking
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: ready to go.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: I don't believe, I know I see you across the
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: room and you do.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: Dude, thank you for the call.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very much a morning person.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: WTAW, you're on the radio. Let's talk how much sleep
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: you get. What do you average? Six hours a night.
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: Six hours a night straight up. How long have you
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: been getting six hours a night?
• 21:23
  Speaker 22: As far as I can remember.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: As far as you can remember. Like, so all the
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: way back. You've always been a six-hour night.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my adult life.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Adult life. Because I remember my teenage years, I could sleep.
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: So when did it stop for you? Hey, thanks for
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: the call. When did it stop for you where you
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: could just, you know, just sleep forever?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Probably, I'm going to guess... About my second or third,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: second or third year in college. Really?
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: It just turned off? You're like, oh, now I don't
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: need sleep anymore.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I just, I wake up. I just, I wake
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: up and I'm wide awake.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: So incredible. I don't know what that's like. All right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: So again, 979-695-1620. Hit us up. We'll see what more
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: you guys have coming up after this.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.

  Speaker 17: This is Brian Mayer, Bobby Gutierrez. A great city isn't
• 22:39
  Speaker 17: only measured by the business we create or the buildings
• 22:42
  Speaker 17: we construct. It's about quality of life. It's our parks,
• 22:45
  Speaker 17: our neighborhoods, our restaurants, our music, our festivals, and having
• 22:48
  Speaker 17: amazing places where families and friends can come together. That's
• 22:51
  Speaker 17: what Brian is continuing to build. A city where people
• 22:54
  Speaker 17: want to live, work, raise a family, and enjoy life.
• 22:57
  Speaker 17: Economic opportunity and quality of life go hand in hand.
• 23:00

  Speaker 21: in a timeshare you don't use, want, or can't get
• 23:21
  Speaker 21: rid of? I endorse Lone Star Transfer. They are a
• 23:26
  Speaker 21: family-owned company that's helped more than 40,000 owners legally and
• 23:31
  Speaker 21: ethically exit their timeshares. I trust them. They'll review your situation,

  Speaker 21: create a customized exit plan designed specifically for you.

  Speaker 21: Lonestartransfer.com or call 855-551-7066. On this one day, I'm thinking
• 23:50
  Speaker 21: about JetBlue. You may remember that in April 2022, I
• 23:54
  Speaker 21: had a bit of a run-in at JF airport in
• 24:06
  Speaker 21: New York City while I waited five hours for my
• 24:12
  Speaker 21: JetBlue plane to take off to the Caribbean. No JetBlue
• 24:18
  Speaker 21: employee would tell the passengers why the plane was not
• 24:22
  Speaker 21: taking off, even though it was sitting at the gate.
• 24:28
  Speaker 21: Everyone was angry. I said later in my commentary that
• 24:33
  Speaker 21: JetBlue was the worst airline in America. Now, four years later,
• 24:39
  Speaker 21: they may go out of business. JetBlue's stock price is
• 24:45
  Speaker 21: at an all-time low. The company has $ 8. 5 billion in debt.
• 24:52
  Speaker 21: Very few are loyal to them.
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 24:56
  Speaker 21: Because generally speaking, the ground personnel at JetBlue are rude.
• 25:02
  Speaker 21: And it's even gotten worse. So this is an excellent
• 25:07
  Speaker 21: example of capitalism. There are other airlines we can fly.
• 25:13
  Speaker 21: People have options. Nobody wants to be abused by some
• 25:17
  Speaker 21: clown working for JetBlue. And so the company is failing.
• 25:23
  Speaker 21: Not surprised. That's called karma. Back in a moment. Thieves
• 25:29
  Speaker 21: are using AI to steal from you with forged paperwork
• 25:35
  Speaker 21: and a signature. They can claim control of your property
• 25:39

  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: man is dead after being hit by a drunk driver
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: in College Station early Sunday. CSPD received a call for
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: an auto versus pedestrian crash around 4.45 a.m. at Welburn
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and Holloman. Investigators think Elijah Taylor of College Station disregarded
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the do not walk signal when attempting to cross Welborn.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: He was pronounced dead on scene. 21-year-old Alan Wang was
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: traveling south on Welborn on a green light when he
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: struck Taylor. Detectives say Wang showed signs of intoxication and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: he was charged with driving while intoxicated. A car hit
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a home and sparked multiple fires on Sunday. The Bryan
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Fire Department received a call around 5.30 a.m. Sunday morning
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that a car had crashed into a home in the
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: 2200 block of North Earl Rudder Freeway. Crews arrived to
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: find the car struck a duplex and several cars at
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: the scene. The vehicles and nearby mobile home caught fire.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Officials say three residents in the mobile home were evacuated safely.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: The duplex was not occupied. No injuries were reported. The
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: identities of two people killed in Thursday's head-on crash near
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Easterwood Airport have been released. DPS Sgt. Justin Ruiz says
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a car driven by 45-year-old James Washington of Bryan was
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: headed eastbound on Highway 60 when he drifted into oncoming traffic.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: He collided head-on with a pickup driven by 30-year-old Fernando
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Sierra Medina of Bryan. The cause of the crash remains
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: under investigation. The final early voting totals are in. More
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: than one-third of registered voters in Brazos County cast an
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: early ballot. The county has 147,000 voters on the rolls,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: nearly 57,000 voted early, or 38%. It was only 7,000
• 29:26

  Speaker 1: He adds, quote, I think their decision to attempt to
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: retaliate against me for exercising my First Amendment rights demonstrates
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: just the type of destructive, divisive hyper-partisanship that I, along
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: with many others, want to get away from. Edge doubled
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: down on his endorsement and spoke at the Tallarico rally
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Friday night in Aggie Park.
• 30:42
  Speaker 24: It may surprise you, I have never publicly supported a Democrat.
• 30:46
  Speaker 24: And if you've been watching the news lately, there's been
• 30:48
  Speaker 24: a little bit of controversy surrounding that. So I would
• 30:51
  Speaker 24: encourage you. Look on WTAW and KBTX.com.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Edge said he supported the current senator.
• 30:58
  Speaker 24: To be candid, I was a supporter of Senator John Cornyn.
• 31:02
  Speaker 24: I think he served honorably, and I think he deserved
• 31:05
  Speaker 24: to be reelected. But my party thought otherwise. But to
• 31:09
  Speaker 24: replace him as our nominee with Ken Paxton.

  Speaker 25: Federal immigration agent Mario Alberto Morales is charged with aggravated
• 31:23
  Speaker 25: assault after he ran over a Mexican man with his
• 31:26
  Speaker 25: car in Houston last month. He was chasing Miguel Para Hernandez,
• 31:30
  Speaker 25: a construction worker, through a parking lot. And surveillance video
• 31:33
  Speaker 25: shows his unmarked SUV struck Para Hernandez as he was
• 31:37
  Speaker 25: running away. Morales' attorney originally described the incident as an accident,
• 31:42
  Speaker 25: but a grand jury indicted him Friday on a felony
• 31:45
  Speaker 25: charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Para Hernandez
• 31:48
  Speaker 25: broke his leg and is recovering at a rehabilitation facility
• 31:52
  Speaker 25: while in federal custody.

• 35:54
  Speaker 8: We were talking about how much sleep we average, um,
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: because it says it's like six and change. I actually
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: think it's probably lower than that. I just don't see
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: how anyone... The old adage was get eight hours a night.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: And you'll be happy and healthy. And no one gets that.
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: I mean, a few people have said that they.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: There's a few out there that do say that.
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: Some outliers. What do we have on text message?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: On text message, Larry, seven and a quarter hours.
• 36:18
  Speaker 21: Seven?
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: Larry?
• 36:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: How?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Josiah... I get eight hours a night. Any less and
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: folks around me think I'm on something. My two young
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: kids inherited my sleep need and get 12 each.
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: 12 at all.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I don't get that. Now, my wife's a sleeper. She
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: probably pulled off a three or four hour nap yesterday
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: afternoon into the evening.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: Glorious.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: And then she came to bed about the same time
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I did. I don't know what time she fell asleep.
• 36:45
  Speaker 17: Yeah, man.
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, I'll say this again. The I'd love
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: to get eight hours a night, but, uh, but yeah,
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: then other people are saying about five hours. Uh, Brit says, Oh,
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: Brit says that she's the one most nights, not in
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: bed till about midnight and up at 6 30 AM.
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: So again, That's about right, Britt. That's about six, six
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: and a half hours.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Gary says six is his goal on his watch. Almost
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: never happens. Realistically, probably five. And he just wakes up, too.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: That's what happens to me. I just wake up.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: Absolutely wild. We'll pick one of you guys and send
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: you to the Renaissance Festival for playing along. So did
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: you see the story that Johnny Manziel laid some action
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: on the election?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I think you shared that story with me last week,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and you were like, this is on brand. I was like, oh, 100%.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: That is absolutely something Johnny Manziel would do, is gamble
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: on the Texas Senate race. And in fact, he allegedly
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: laid $ 10, 000 on Ken Paxson to get the W.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: First of all, I'm a little shocked he still has
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: 10K to play around with.
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: He is a... I remember when he was here and
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: after the Heisman year and after the offseason, I think
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: I was like the only person actually concerned about him
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: in town. I was like, hey, I think this guy
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: needs help. I think that he might have a problem.
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: It was like, no, it's just Johnny B. It's nothing
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: wrong with him. Don't say anything. It's kind of like
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: when Lane Kiffin was at Ole Miss. It's like when
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: they're your scumbag.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: You feel a certain way.
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: But yeah, since then, he's really famous for for sports betting.
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: So no big surprise there. Some people might think.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Really 10,000.
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: Does he know something that we don't? And the answer
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: is he might. So I looked into the degenerate gambling
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: models to try to find some answers as to why
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: Johnny might lay that kind of money on. OK, do
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: you have a cow sheet?
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: No, I don't, Tucker, and I'm a wee bit concerned
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: that you do in saying that you looked into the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: models because I know you and I don't want you
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: to have that sort of ease of access.
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: You don't want me to be able to lay some action.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: On a mid-term election. silly stuff like elections.
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: Like elections uh by the way for what it's worth
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: uh ken paxton as of this morning uh ken is
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: uh actually it looks like this lead could have closed
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: a little bit really last uh and i think some
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: of it might be because similar to vegas i'm pretty
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: sure if more people start dumping money on it, because
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: you could get a pretty dang good return. If he
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: does end up getting a W, he pays like two,
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: close to three to one at this point. So perhaps
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: that has something to do with it. Perhaps it could
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: be people saying, okay, I have the opportunity to risk $ 10, 000
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: but turn it into... $ 30, 000.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: See, my tinfoil hat, there's a couple of people that
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: have come out betting on these election outcomes. My tinfoil
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: hat says to me, what that is, is somebody paying
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: somebody who has some quote-unquote fame to go out there
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: and lay these bets down. To make people think to themselves, oh,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: they picked a winner. Oh, so I'm going to jump
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: on the bandwagon.
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: So maybe I tried to skew the market.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not directly trying to skew the results,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: but I think it could be influencing.
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: If you were, I think it absolutely could be influencing.
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: If you go to look at DraftKings, they have actually
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: opened up a political... They used to be with DraftKings.
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: This wasn't something you could do. It just wasn't a thing.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Well, they saw all the money going to Calci and others.
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but you know how bookies be.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: If there's money out there, they want it. James Tallarico,
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: 78% favorite to 30% on Ken Paxson. So Ken Paxson
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: paying three to one. Also, similar odds on Mike Rogers
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: in Michigan. In the Texas gubernatorial race, it's almost a flip-flop.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: Gina Hinojosa is paying three to one, if you were
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: so inclined to throw money on that one as well.
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: This is bizarre. This is bizarre.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I'm more inclined.
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: There are going to be more people that bet on
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: this than end up voting on this.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I'm more inclined to shoot my pinky toe off than
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: to take part. In any of this. It just makes
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: me physically sick.
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: Interestingly enough, they will not let you build a parlay
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: on DraftKings with politicals. Oh, okay. Now, Kalsi will let
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: you run wild.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: You've done a lot of very specific research on this.
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: I certainly have, Will. I'm trying to keep everyone up
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: to date. Honestly, what I want to do is I
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: want to dive into this at some point. Because it
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: has got, I think, am I the, I cannot be
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: the only person who thinks that this has gotten absolutely
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: unmitigatedly out of control.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, politics is out of control. Betting is out
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: of control.
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: Like it's insane. What was, what, what was the idea
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: that we were like, Hey, we can't have a casino
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: in Texas because that vice is just so unbelievable. Like,
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: Can't let Tillman open up a casino on Galveston. That
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: would just ruin society. Can I ask how? At this point?
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: We're already ruined.
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: Can I ask how? I open up my phone and
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: all I get is ads for this stuff. And it's
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: not just like, hey, I want to bet some college
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: football games. It's, hey, I want to bet the literal election.
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: I want to bet. I want to bet who is
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: going to win in the election. It just seems like,
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: you know, no harm, no foul. I should be able
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: to play some roulette when I.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Go to the beach. There's a level of gambling that...
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I think is somewhat acceptable, you know, recreational.
• 42:53
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to Vegas.
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: I'm going to play some poker.
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: I'm going to play some blackjack.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's fine. Even, even like my historical sports
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: betting where I would have to go down to Lynn's Exxon.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Across the street from Washtenaw Baptist University.
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: It's the NFL playoffs, and you want to put together
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: something to make it interesting. Okay.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's March Madness. Plays a little bet with Lynn.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of fine, but now everything's just
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: run away with it, man. You can bet on everything,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and it's stupid.
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: It's too easy. That's all I'm saying. When we get
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: done with this, we are going to have a state government, right? Like,
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: someone is going to win these races. Do you think
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: we could look into just maybe saying, hey- You know,
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: we could open a casino and then put the tax
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: money that the casino raises, which would be enormous, back
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: into our state budget to maybe deal with something like
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: property taxes.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be. Could be.
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: Maybe.
• 43:49
  Speaker 8: I know that.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Anything that gambling touches ends up corrupt.
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: Bottom line.
• 43:54
  Speaker 28: Right.
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: But it's only touching my phone.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: So you're just saying it's already here. Pandora's box is
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: already open. It's what they did.
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: With liquor back in the Prohibition days. A lot of
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: people still thought liquor is probably something we shouldn't have
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: in the country. But they're like, hey, guess what? It's
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: empowering the mob. It launched Al Capone. Maybe we should
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: just let people drink if they are inclined and overage
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: and then just roll with it. Because, you know, it
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: kind of makes sense. I don't know. Does Calci pay taxes?
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: Have we figured that out yet? Do they just keep
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: all the money?
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: And I know that Kalshi has no place in their
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: entire system for somebody like the guy that Lynn had
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: that would come collect. You don't see AI doing that.
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: Think about the heavies.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: Think about the heavies, everyone.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: They're unemployed now, thanks to this.
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: Back after this.
• 44:42
  Speaker 22: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 44:45
  Speaker 22: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 44:48
  Speaker 22: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family

  Speaker 22: Did you know that 10% of married women say they
• 45:27
  Speaker 22: don't have a close female friend? That means a lot
• 45:30
  Speaker 22: of wives have no support outside the home when times
• 45:33
  Speaker 22: are tough inside the home. For a happier, healthier marriage,
• 45:37
  Speaker 22: author Jen Weaver suggests that wives identify their wife style.
• 45:42
  Speaker 22: There are two categories, frayed and braided. The frayed wife
• 45:46
  Speaker 22: is worn out because she's trying to hold everything together herself.
• 45:50
  Speaker 22: She believes she needs to have all the answers as
• 45:52
  Speaker 22: a mom and all the answers as a wife. She
• 45:55
  Speaker 22: gives to others but doesn't make time for herself. She's
• 45:58
  Speaker 22: tired and feels lonely and unappreciated. The solution for the
• 46:03
  Speaker 22: frayed wife is to become a braided wife, a woman
• 46:06
  Speaker 22: who has female friends she can rely on for support,
• 46:10
  Speaker 22: for wisdom, or for a shoulder.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: To cry on.
• 46:13
  Speaker 22: Like the proverb which says, a cord of three strands
• 46:16
  Speaker 22: is not easily broken, the braided wife has strands of
• 46:19
  Speaker 22: friendship weaving through her life. Ladies, you're under a lot
• 46:23
  Speaker 22: of pressure as a wife and mom. There's no such
• 46:26
  Speaker 22: thing as a day off, and you probably go days
• 46:28
  Speaker 22: without hearing so much as a thank you. Who could
• 46:32
  Speaker 22: better understand the stress you're under than another.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Wife and mom?
• 46:36
  Speaker 22: That's exactly why women have an opportunity to be a
• 46:39
  Speaker 22: force for good in each other's lives. Braided wives can
• 46:42
  Speaker 22: celebrate each other when times are good and support each
• 46:46
  Speaker 22: other when times are tough. Every woman needs a close
• 46:49
  Speaker 22: friend to lean on in life. For Focus on the Family,
• 46:53
  Speaker 22: I'm Jim Daley.
• 46:54
  Speaker 27: The following is not an actor, but a real-life story
• 46:57
  Speaker 27: from Trinity Debt Management.
• 46:59
  Speaker 30: Every day I speak with people who are worried and
• 47:02
  Speaker 30: are feeling a lot of pressure because of credit card debt.
• 47:05
  Speaker 30: That's why I'm very proud of what.
• 47:07
  Speaker 16: We do at Trinity.
• 47:09
  Speaker 30: We just help. We give people the support they need
• 47:12
  Speaker 30: along with a real plan to become debt-free. Credit card
• 47:16
  Speaker 30: bills are consolidated into a single monthly payment that is
• 47:19
  Speaker 30: much less than what they were paying before. Most of
• 47:23
  Speaker 30: our members end up saving thousands and even may improve
• 47:26
  Speaker 30: their credit scores by as much as 200 points. I
• 47:30
  Speaker 30: know from the bottom of my heart that I'm making
• 47:33
  Speaker 30: a difference in the lives of the people we help.
• 47:35
  Speaker 30: It just makes me really happy.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: If credit card debt has you down, call Trinity at 1-800-CREDIT.
• 47:44
  Speaker 30: My name is Julie, and I'm a Trinity counselor. Call
• 47:47
  Speaker 30: me and become debt-free for keeps.

• 50:47
  Speaker 33: team opens up the 2026-27 season tonight at Reed Arena,
• 50:52
  Speaker 33: gearing up to play UAPB. Head coach Joni Taylor met
• 50:56
  Speaker 33: with the media to talk about what she's learned about
• 50:58
  Speaker 33: her team ahead of the start of the season.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: We're resilient.
• 51:02
  Speaker 34: We're fearless competitors.
• 51:04
  Speaker 28: We've had some other players who will be available on Monday,
• 51:08
  Speaker 28: but who did not play in our three scrimmages just
• 51:10
  Speaker 28: to take care of their bodies and neck injuries that
• 51:12
  Speaker 28: we don't want to get, you know, worse before we
• 51:15
  Speaker 28: start playing. And so we played our three scrimmages with
• 51:17
  Speaker 28: six scholarship players and two walk-ons and just had a really,
• 51:22
  Speaker 28: really good competitive spirit about us. I think it gave
• 51:26
  Speaker 28: some of our players a ton of minutes that they
• 51:28
  Speaker 28: needed to have. It allowed them to push through some things.
• 51:31
  Speaker 20: And so we're.
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: Excited to have everybody back and healthy.
• 51:34
  Speaker 28: But I learned that we are just, we're what we
• 51:37

• 51:47
  Speaker 33: a commanding 5-1 victory over Ole Miss yesterday afternoon at
• 51:51
  Speaker 33: Ellis Field. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth recapped the game and
• 51:54
  Speaker 33: on how his first season here in Aggieland went.
• 51:57
  Speaker 15: Really happy with the second half and they should be
• 51:59
  Speaker 15: really proud of themselves. I thought the second half we
• 52:02
  Speaker 15: competed really well. I thought the first half, the first
• 52:05
  Speaker 15: 30 minutes, we didn't do a great job competing, picking
• 52:07
  Speaker 15: up second balls, making life tough for them and then
• 52:10
  Speaker 15: challenged them at halftime to do that, and I thought
• 52:12
  Speaker 15: they had a great response in the second half. I mean,
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: I think this season has been a learning experience for
• 52:18
  Speaker 15: all of our players, for myself, but specifically for those
• 52:21
  Speaker 15: younger players. You know, we played against Missouri the other day,
• 52:23
  Speaker 15: and I think we started nine freshmen. So, you know,
• 52:26
  Speaker 15: these are experiences and moments. We've had a lot of
• 52:29
  Speaker 15: difficult moments this season, and they need to continue to
• 52:32
  Speaker 15: build on them, and these experiences will put them in
• 52:34
  Speaker 15: a better position moving forward when we come back next season.

  Speaker 8: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning, guys. Getting up to 85-ish today, but
• 55:02
  Speaker 8: it's going to be windy. 25 mile an hour winds
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: as a cold front approaches. Weather is brought to you
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: by our friends at United Roofing and Sheet Metal, home

  Speaker 8: a call at 268-ROOF or go to UnitedRoofingPros.com. Are you
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: familiar with the Never Ending Cruise?
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:18
  Speaker 8: That ended.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: We talked about that, that they were offering these things
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: a while back where you could pay a certain price
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: and then you just cruise.
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: Forever cruise. You live your life, your love and your lady.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: And they were between like $ 175, 000 and $ 200, 000. Which honestly.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Or $ 500, 000 a person. Depending on how long you expect
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: to be on that cruise, that's a heck of a deal.
• 55:42
  Speaker 8: Because you get all the food, all the, you know.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: I would assume you got a senior discount because the
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: chances of you, you know, going 30 years at that point,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: probably not there.
• 55:49
  Speaker 8: They promised to visit 147 countries across three years. They
• 55:53
  Speaker 8: didn't even make it three years.
• 55:55
  Speaker 17: No.
• 55:55
  Speaker 8: You want to know why?
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Because they out of money.
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: Gas prices. I just want to break into tears because.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: It's been such a good time.
• 56:03
  Speaker 35: It's like buying a house, expecting to live there forever,
• 56:07
  Speaker 35: and then being kicked out after two years.
• 56:09
  Speaker 14: The food quality began to deteriorate about three months ago,
• 56:13
  Speaker 14: and we knew that the company was running out of
• 56:15
  Speaker 14: money at that time.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: When they start serving you gruel.
• 56:18
  Speaker 8: That's what I was going to say. Gruel? Stale bread?
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: What were we on?
• 56:22
  Speaker 8: When did you notice it had decayed, is my question.
• 56:25
  Speaker 8: Was it... Right on a stick, like what? Did they
• 56:28
  Speaker 8: at least give you oranges for the scurvy? I mean,
• 56:31
  Speaker 8: there's just certain things you don't want to lose when
• 56:34
  Speaker 8: you're on the boat. By the way, when it ended,
• 56:36
  Speaker 8: they all disembarked. They got stranded in Cambodia.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great place.
• 56:40
  Speaker 8: Exactly where you wanted that.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, easy to get home from.
