0:18
Speaker 1: their apartment over the weekend. College Station police responded to
0:22

0:34
Speaker 1: Police found 18-year-old Cole Brawley passed out on the couch.
0:38
Speaker 1: Reports say officers had to perform a sternal rub to
0:40
Speaker 1: get Brawley's attention. He claimed he thought he was at
0:43
Speaker 1: a friend's apartment, but none of the women knew the
0:45
Speaker 1: man or gave him permission to be in the apartment.
0:48

Speaker 2: Starting Tuesday, certain electronics companies cannot stop people from fixing
1:48
Speaker 2: their own devices. They have to let customers and repair
1:51
Speaker 2: shops have the same access to parts, tools, and manuals
1:54
Speaker 2: that their company shops get. Texas cities also can't stop
1:57
Speaker 2: manufactured home companies from building. Cities cannot stop mobile home
2:01
Speaker 2: parks and keep them out of their city limits. They
2:04
Speaker 2: do maintain their ability to restrict where they go up
2:06
Speaker 2: through zoning laws, but cities cannot ban them completely. Solar
2:10
Speaker 2: panel companies have more restrictions. They have to register with
2:13
Speaker 2: the state. They have to register their workers as well.
2:15
Speaker 2: They also have to make sure they have insurance and
2:18
Speaker 2: are watching their salespeople real close.

Speaker 1: I'm David Rankin, TSN News. The Texas State Board of
2:24
Speaker 1: Education is wrapping up its revisions on public high school curriculum,
2:28
Speaker 1: and the Bible is back in the debate. A number
2:30
Speaker 1: of Christian pastors are pushing to include stories from the Bible.
2:34
Speaker 1: David Waller is a Baptist preacher in Fort Worth.
2:37
Speaker 3: Early pilgrims came here for the express purpose of having
2:40
Speaker 3: freedom to worship Jesus Christ.
2:43
Speaker 1: Children need to understand this. The board will vote on
2:46
Speaker 1: the changes this week, and there is plenty of pushback too.
2:49
Speaker 1: Opponents say the new standards are not inclusive enough, and
2:52
Speaker 1: they argue it will put students at a disadvantage when
2:55
Speaker 1: they reach college. News is presented by Pioneer Steel and Pipe.

Speaker 6: Good morning. How are you?
4:46
Speaker 5: First, introduce your friend, please.
4:48
Speaker 6: So this is my friend. If you hear some banging
4:50
Speaker 6: in the background, it's his tail.
4:51
Speaker 1: He's a big old boy. Yeah, he's a good boy.
4:55
Speaker 6: He's an older boxer. His name is Archie.
4:58
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, he's not available for adoption because he stole my
5:01
Speaker 7: heart a couple of years ago.
5:03
Speaker 6: Oh, I love it.
5:04
Speaker 7: But I just thought I would bring him and just
5:06
Speaker 7: show that, you know, there are some really good shelter
5:10
Speaker 7: dogs available.
5:11
Speaker 5: I love, I love a dog that can be described
5:14
Speaker 5: as big head. No thoughts.
5:16
Speaker 6: Oh, he has like negative thoughts.
5:19
Speaker 7: I also have a pity at home too. And they
5:21
Speaker 7: just like trade off the brain cell. And I also
5:23
Speaker 7: have an, I have an orange cat.
5:26
Speaker 1: Archie's trying to crawl in my lap.
5:27
Speaker 5: I know.
5:29
Speaker 6: He loves it.
5:30
Speaker 5: Does Archie believe he is a puppy and deserves to
5:34
Speaker 5: be in laps?
5:34
Speaker 7: Archie believes he's like this big and he like, he loves,
5:39
Speaker 7: he loves hanging out with my, I have a 10
5:41
Speaker 7: year old son and he will lay across all of
5:44
Speaker 7: his friends laps, like on the couch as they're watching
5:47
Speaker 7: a movie.
5:47
Speaker 6: He's, Just so ridiculous.
5:49
Speaker 1: He's a good boy.
5:50
Speaker 5: He's definitely not loved enough. He's the goodest boy. By
5:53
Speaker 5: the way, I have a 108-pound rescue pit bull named Grouper.
5:57
Speaker 5: I don't think I got him.
5:58
Speaker 1: I know Grouper.
5:59
Speaker 5: You know Grouper?
5:59
Speaker 6: I know Grouper.
6:00
Speaker 5: What do you know about Grouper?
6:01
Speaker 6: I love Grouper and his big head. I know him.
6:04
Speaker 5: How do you know Grouper?
6:06
Speaker 6: I was there when he was adopted.
6:08
Speaker 5: He was adopted by?
6:09
Speaker 6: At Sterling Subaru. I was literally there.
6:12
Speaker 1: No, you weren't.
6:13
Speaker 6: I took that picture.
6:13
Speaker 5: You were at Sterling Subaru when Rain stumbled in and said,
6:19
Speaker 5: I must have this dog. Tell me about Gruber before.
6:22
Speaker 6: I got Gruber.
6:23
Speaker 7: Gruber, we only had him for a few days, but
6:26
Speaker 7: we literally all were like, this dog is perfect.
6:29
Speaker 5: His head is just like, It's like a cinder block, Will.
6:35
Speaker 8: Yes.
6:36
Speaker 5: It's the size of an engine.
6:37
Speaker 6: He's like top heavy.
6:39
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:39
Speaker 6: He's 108 pounds. 108 pounds.
6:42
Speaker 1: See, the dog I got from the Aggieland Humane Society
6:44
Speaker 1: was the exact opposite of him. He looked more like
6:47
Speaker 1: a tick. A very full tick.
6:48
Speaker 5: You know, that's... So.
6:50
Speaker 1: Our dog that we got from Aggieland Humane was Bowie.
6:54
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, Bowie passed away just over a year ago.
6:57
Speaker 1: But Bowie was a... He was a Cheagle. He was
7:00
Speaker 1: a Chihuahua-Beagle mix. And he had a Chihuahua head and
7:03
Speaker 1: a Beagle body. So he looked like a tick. But Bowie...
7:07
Speaker 1: I love that. So Bowie... I went and saw.
7:12
Speaker 1: Actually, so we went on a Sunday, and earlier in
7:15
Speaker 1: the week, Bowie had been featured on television. And my
7:18
Speaker 1: mother-in-law saw him and said, that would be a perfect
7:21
Speaker 1: dog for them. And without knowing, we went to the shelter,
7:24
Speaker 1: and my girls picked out Bowie.
7:26
Speaker 5: That's amazing. But yeah, Grouper's now hyperactive. He believes he's baby.
7:32
Speaker 9: He is baby.
7:32
Speaker 5: Have you done a DNA test?
7:35
Speaker 10: Yeah.
7:36
Speaker 6: Okay, what is it?
7:37
Speaker 5: He is, oh, jeez. See, I need to get right. Look,
7:39
Speaker 5: hang on. After we get done with this, I'll show you.
7:41
Speaker 5: But it's, It's like 100% like what you would think.
7:46
Speaker 5: He looks like the classic Pitbull, and I think people
7:49
Speaker 5: were using him for breeding and everything else like that.
7:51
Speaker 5: He got turned in, and yeah, he was just brain cut.
7:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not joking when I say his head is
7:57
Speaker 7: like the size of that backpack right there.
7:59
Speaker 5: Wow. If not bigger.
8:01
Speaker 1: Big old blockhead.
8:02
Speaker 5: Big old, and no thoughts. Big head, no thoughts.
8:05
Speaker 7: He was like the star of the Sterling Subaru adoption
8:08
Speaker 7: event that day.
8:09
Speaker 6: Everybody was like, oh my gosh, I need to pet
8:13
Speaker 6: this dog.
8:15
Speaker 7: And he kept on getting, you know, kind of skipped over,
8:19
Speaker 7: I think because his head is just so big. They're like,
8:21
Speaker 7: I don't need a dog with a bigger head than me.
8:23
Speaker 5: He is the first dog that is so big that
8:26
Speaker 5: I actually have to take precautions. Like, because he steps
8:29
Speaker 5: on your foot, it hurts. If he hits you with
8:32
Speaker 5: his tail, he can knock you over so fast. You
8:36
Speaker 5: actually have to, like, account for all this stuff with him.
8:38
Speaker 5: He is like a bear. He's like a giant bear.
8:41
Speaker 1: Don't have that problem with a little Annie at 10 pounds.
8:43
Speaker 6: Why don't you bring him to work?
8:45
Speaker 5: I will bring him to work, actually. Maybe I'll just
8:47
Speaker 5: start making it a permanent trip. He would love it.
8:50
Speaker 5: But anyway, long story short, a lot of dog talk.
8:52
Speaker 5: Why are we talking about dogs? Because, again, they have
8:55
Speaker 5: a lot of available dogs right now. Because you've got
8:59
Speaker 5: puppy and kitten season, but that doesn't mean you don't
9:01
Speaker 5: have the other dogs that are in there, too.
9:03
Speaker 6: Exactly, exactly.
9:04
Speaker 7: So right now we're pretty low on cats, actually. People
9:08
Speaker 7: are adopting cats left and right. So you may be
9:11
Speaker 7: a little disappointed if you come out to get a couple.
9:15
Speaker 6: Kittens, and we're just a little bit short right now.
9:18
Speaker 11: Okay.
9:18
Speaker 5: That'll change.
9:19
Speaker 6: But if you want a dog, boy.
9:22
Speaker 1: How many dogs?
9:23
Speaker 5: Are y'all full up on dogs?
9:24
Speaker 6: We are full. Really?
9:26
Speaker 7: But we're doing a little bit better than we were.
9:29
Speaker 7: We just did a transfer up to the Pacific Northwest.
9:33
Speaker 7: about 16 17 dogs okay so that was really really
9:37
Speaker 7: helpful we just uh finished our free furry friday so
9:40
Speaker 7: that was really helpful too so you know we're we're
9:44
Speaker 7: working on uh getting out from being overcrowded um so
9:49
Speaker 7: yeah we're.
9:49
Speaker 6: We've got a.
9:51
Speaker 1: I did this i did this last week i did
9:54
Speaker 1: this last week and i looked at these two great
9:56
Speaker 1: pyrenees that you have Chris and Bella.
9:59
Speaker 7: So those guys, Chris specifically, he will not walk if
10:04
Speaker 7: he doesn't want to.
10:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a great Pyrenees. He's not going to do
10:08
Speaker 1: anything if he doesn't want to.
10:09
Speaker 7: Off of the spay-neuter truck, we had to put him
10:11
Speaker 7: in a wagon and wagon him up.
10:14
Speaker 6: Back over into the kennel.
10:15
Speaker 5: That's not a problem. That's just fine.
10:17
Speaker 6: Because he was like, why would I walk when I
10:19
Speaker 6: can wagon?
10:19
Speaker 1: I'm sure Tucker has a pram just all the way
10:21
Speaker 1: ready for him. I do, I have a pram picked out.
10:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a good boy. He just got treated for
10:26
Speaker 7: heartworms yesterday.
10:27
Speaker 5: Wonderful.
10:28
Speaker 7: So he'll be on the up and up. Both him
10:31
Speaker 7: and his sister Bella were treated for heartworms.
10:34
Speaker 5: Now, are we still doing the fundraiser for Heartworm?
10:37
Speaker 6: So, I'm so excited to announce this community has raised
10:41
Speaker 6: over $ 10, 000. We did it! Yes, yes. So, like, I

Speaker 1: over here, yeah.
10:51
Speaker 6: That's true.
10:51
Speaker 5: Congratulations.
10:52
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean, we cannot thank this community enough.
10:56
Speaker 7: We had donations from across the country.
10:59
Speaker 6: We even had somebody.
11:01
Speaker 7: that adopted a dog from one of our transfers in
11:04
Speaker 7: the Pacific Northwest.

Speaker 12: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
15:00
Speaker 12: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
15:02
Speaker 12: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career,
15:05
Speaker 12: and it's absolutely impacting our budgets. It can be very frustrating.
15:09
Speaker 12: At Dean and Draper Insurance, we can't promise to solve
15:12
Speaker 12: the inflation problem, but we can shop several high-quality insurance
15:16
Speaker 12: companies to provide you with a competitive solution tailored to
15:19
Speaker 12: your specific needs. So if you're looking for an alternative

15:43
Speaker 5: dog if you want to get on the show.
15:44
Speaker 1: It's not like we had game, but if we had game,
15:46
Speaker 1: that would have thrown you clean off your game. The
15:49
Speaker 1: second a dog shows up, Tucker walks out to get
15:51
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. He forgets completely about the cup
15:53
Speaker 1: of coffee, by the way. It dropped the cup of coffee,
15:56
Speaker 1: grabbed the dog. Amazing.
15:58
Speaker 5: Uh, nine, seven, nine, six, nine, five, 16, 20 is
16:00
Speaker 5: our phone number today. Um, what state do you consider
16:04
Speaker 5: to have the best vibe?
16:07
Speaker 1: What is a vibe? A vibe.
16:08
Speaker 5: You know what a vibe is?
16:09
Speaker 1: Well, I kind of do, but remember my age.
16:11
Speaker 5: A vibe doesn't need description. Will a vibe is just
16:14
Speaker 5: a vibe.
16:15
Speaker 1: Okay.
16:15
Speaker 5: And some States have good vibes and some States have
16:18
Speaker 5: bad vibes. What we have is a list of the
16:21
Speaker 5: best and the worst. And let's start with the states
16:23
Speaker 5: with the best vibes.
16:26
Speaker 1: Okay.
16:26
Speaker 5: Literally the best vibes you can get as a state.
16:29
Speaker 1: You want them?
16:31
Speaker 5: I'll hit you with a few of them.
16:32
Speaker 12: Okay.
16:32
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
16:33
Speaker 7: Five.
16:33
Speaker 1: Five.
16:33
Speaker 5: Montana. Great vibes.
16:35
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:35
Speaker 1: Great vibes.
16:35
Speaker 5: Number four. Vermont.
16:37
Speaker 1: If you're a certain type of person.
16:38
Speaker 11: Great vibes.
16:39
Speaker 12: Three.
16:39
Speaker 5: Alaska.
16:40
Speaker 1: Vibes.
16:40
Speaker 4: Maine.
16:41
Speaker 5: Vibes. Hawaii. All the vibes. Notice anything missing?
16:45
Speaker 1: There's no Texas.
16:46
Speaker 5: Texas. There is no Texas, Will.
16:48
Speaker 1: There's no South.
16:50
Speaker 5: There's nothing in the South at all. In fact, if
16:54
Speaker 5: you get further into the top 10, New Hampshire's on
16:56
Speaker 5: the good list. Colorado's on the good list. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Wyoming,
17:00
Speaker 5: nothing in the South is on this list. No vibes.
17:03
Speaker 5: In fact, we're all on the other list. The worst
17:07
Speaker 5: vibes that you have.
17:09
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
17:10
Speaker 5: By the states. Let's just go, just give me the
17:13
Speaker 5: top five, Will. What are the worst vibes... of any
17:16
Speaker 5: states that are out there.
17:17
Speaker 1: Arkansas, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Alabama.
17:20
Speaker 5: Arkansas, bad vibes. Texas, number four. The entire South gives
17:26
Speaker 5: off bad vibes.
17:28
Speaker 1: I got to dig deeper into this. So this came
17:30
Speaker 1: from Ranker.com. Yes. Thousands of people have voted. We don't
17:34
Speaker 1: know where these people live.
17:35
Speaker 5: No clue.
17:36
Speaker 1: Someplace other than the South. We don't know who these
17:39
Speaker 1: people are other than they're idiots. We have no insight
17:45
Speaker 1: into what a vibe is because they didn't define it
17:48
Speaker 1: other than to say that it is something you really
17:50
Speaker 1: can't define.
17:51
Speaker 5: No, seriously, that's the thing. To have bad vibes, the
17:54
Speaker 5: best way I can describe it is it's off-putting. You're like,
17:58
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm just kind of a little bit uncomfortable.
18:00
Speaker 5: That means bad vibes. So when I think about Texas
18:03
Speaker 5: and the South, I get a bad vibe.
18:06
Speaker 1: They're right. Every one of these places that is mentioned,
18:11
Speaker 1: in fact, you can include the entire South. Bad vibes,
18:14
Speaker 1: stay away. I want to keep my barbecue line short.
18:17
Speaker 5: Weird, the song has been number one for 20 straight weeks.
18:21
Speaker 1: It's a vibe.
18:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, bad vibe? Is it a good vibe or a
18:25
Speaker 5: bad vibe?
18:26
Speaker 1: Look, we all know what the truth is. I want
18:29
Speaker 1: people to believe that we have a bad vibe and
18:32
Speaker 1: stay away. Horrible, horrible. Especially these people that voted. If
18:36
Speaker 1: you're on Ranker.com... To vote on a vibe of a state,
18:41
Speaker 1: this is a problem. I don't want you here.
18:43
Speaker 5: Let me ask you this serious question. What state gives
18:46
Speaker 5: off the worst vibes to you, Will?
18:49
Speaker 1: Well, it's a close running between California and New York.
18:52
Speaker 5: What kind of vibes do you get from either of
18:54
Speaker 5: these two?
18:54
Speaker 1: The vibe that I will never go there and spend
18:56
Speaker 1: my money.
18:56
Speaker 5: Like, is it like a shiver down your spine?
18:59
Speaker 1: It's not a shiver down your spine.
19:00
Speaker 5: It's kind of unpleasant to be around.
19:01
Speaker 1: It's more of a state governance thing.
19:04
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't like.
19:06
Speaker 5: Freedom is not in season.
19:07
Speaker 1: In either of these two states. I just don't like them,
19:10
Speaker 1: so I prefer not to spend my money.
19:12
Speaker 5: Why would you want to go there?
19:13
Speaker 15: Right.
19:13
Speaker 5: Yeah.
19:14
Speaker 1: But as far as, like, if I just had to
19:15
Speaker 1: pick of states that I've been to... The state that
19:19
Speaker 1: has the worst overall vibe of states that I've been
19:23
Speaker 1: to may be Oklahoma.
19:26
Speaker 5: Oklahoma. You beat me there. You beat me there. Oklahoma's
19:31
Speaker 5: top of my list.
19:31
Speaker 1: First of all, it's hard to have a vibe when
19:35
Speaker 1: you're doing nothing but vibrating on the roads.
19:37
Speaker 5: It's just horrendous. The worst vibes.
19:41
Speaker 1: You cannot go 100 feet without passing a weed store.
19:46
Speaker 1: Medical marijuana or a casino. the roads are.
19:51
Speaker 5: Horrible christine all the states with quote unquote good vibes
19:55
Speaker 5: that you listed are vanilla and boring yeah i yeah
19:59
Speaker 5: and i'm you know look I would say Alaska's got
20:02
Speaker 5: some pretty rough vibes, man.
20:04
Speaker 9: Yeah.
20:04
Speaker 5: I don't know that I feel good vibes in Alaska.
20:09
Speaker 5: It's beautiful, but the vibes don't... Yeah.
20:12
Speaker 1: There's weird vibes.
20:13
Speaker 5: Don't pass the vibes.
20:13
Speaker 1: Weird vibe in Alaska.
20:15
Speaker 5: Real talk. If you had to pick a state, worst vibes,
20:17
Speaker 5: what is it? That's the question for today. That is
20:20
Speaker 5: what we need to decide. This is where you can
20:22
Speaker 5: help us. 979-695-1620. When I say state with the worst vibes,
20:25
Speaker 5: what is it? comes to mind immediately. I will give
20:32
Speaker 5: them points for at least putting Florida on the list.
20:37
Speaker 1: You don't get a good vibe in Florida?
20:38
Speaker 9: I get.
20:40
Speaker 5: Parts of Florida, I get a great vibe. Like, if
20:43
Speaker 5: I'm in Destin.
20:44
Speaker 1: Redneck Riviera, great vibe.
20:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Pensacola, Destin, Emerald Coast, great vibes. If I'm
20:50
Speaker 5: in the most magical place on Earth, specifically, most magical
20:54
Speaker 5: place on Earth, not Orlando proper. Orlando proper, horrible vibes.
20:59
Speaker 1: Disney.
21:01
Speaker 5: vibe city agree to disagree really okay bad vibes i'm
21:05
Speaker 5: not a disney guy okay all right i've been far
21:08
Speaker 5: too many times jacksonville atrocious vibe never been atrocious vibes
21:13
Speaker 5: miami atrocious vibes so it kind of but there are
21:18
Speaker 5: there are some pockets.
21:19
Speaker 1: Well just like oklahoma i mean eastern oklahoma is staggeringly
21:23
Speaker 1: beautiful true You know, you get.
21:26
Speaker 5: Up in the past and the vibe check Sasquatch is
21:28
Speaker 5: out there.
21:28
Speaker 11: No, no.
21:29
Speaker 1: I like that. That's a check. Sasquatch is a vibe.
21:32
Speaker 5: Chris, have you ever been to New Mexico?
21:35
Speaker 1: New Mexico was when I said that I was torn
21:38
Speaker 1: between a couple of states of ones that I've been
21:40
Speaker 1: to New Mexico and Oklahoma is meth.
21:42
Speaker 5: A vibe.
21:44
Speaker 1: I mean, there's beautiful places in New Mexico. I've skied.
21:47
Speaker 1: There's some great food there.
21:48
Speaker 5: And yeah, really cool.
21:50
Speaker 1: But some of the people, some of the, some.
21:52
Speaker 5: Of the, the, the people in New Mexico. Yeah. I,
21:56
Speaker 5: I just, I don't know. Minnesota has been mentioned a
21:58
Speaker 5: couple of times. Yeah.
22:01
Speaker 1: I don't have much Minnesota experience. I've been to Minneapolis.
22:03

Speaker 1: That was Wisconsin. Nevermind. No, no.
22:07
Speaker 5: Minneapolis is, is pretty. And, but the, I don't, Partially,
22:12
Speaker 5: I think the vibes are off about Minnesota for a
22:14
Speaker 5: few reasons. The one that always gets me is the
22:15
Speaker 5: people are too nice. I don't trust it. Similar to Utah. Yeah,
22:21
Speaker 5: I don't trust it.
22:22
Speaker 1: No, it's you get that you get the vibe that
22:25
Speaker 1: it's populated by aliens.
22:27
Speaker 5: It's just they're pretending to be, you know, why are
22:29
Speaker 5: you being there's a point we have a nice balance,
22:32

22:42
Speaker 5: people that come down here and find a job, and
22:45

23:38
Speaker 4: men of the predominantly Tejano 33rd Texas Calvary across the
23:44
Speaker 4: Rio Grande in pursuit of the bandit Zapata. Union agents
23:49
Speaker 4: had recruited Zapata to lead raids into Texas and thus
23:54
Speaker 4: force Confederate troops to remain in the Rio Grande Valley
23:58
Speaker 4: rather than participate in military campaigns in the East. Benavides
24:03
Speaker 4: caught up with Zapata on September the 2nd. After a
24:07

31:33
Speaker 1: County Commissioner's Court will host two public hearings this morning.
31:36
Speaker 1: The first to discuss the county's $ 482 million budget. The
31:40
Speaker 1: second to discuss the proposed property tax rate of 44.84
31:44
Speaker 1: cents per $ 100 valuation. If the tax rate is adopted,
31:48
Speaker 1: it will be an increase of 3.43% over the current rate.
31:52
Speaker 1: But residents will likely pay less in taxes because the
31:56
Speaker 1: median home price in Brazos County has dropped from $ 412, 000
31:59
Speaker 1: to $ 340, 000. That homeowner would pay about $ 200 less for
32:04
Speaker 1: the year. Regular session is scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock,

36:22
Speaker 1: he thought he was at a friend's apartment, but none
36:24
Speaker 1: of the women knew the man or had given him
36:26
Speaker 1: permission to be inside their apartment. Brawley was arrested and
36:30
Speaker 1: charged with criminal trespass of a habitation. During the arrest,

40:15
Speaker 11: Hey, I just want you to know.
40:16
Speaker 15: Chamber of Commerce, we are rule followers, guys. You can
40:19
Speaker 15: change the rules in the middle of the morning as
40:21
Speaker 15: far as guests coming on the show and saying you
40:24
Speaker 15: had to bring your dog.
40:24
Speaker 11: Didn't have a dog.
40:26
Speaker 5: That's okay. What do you got?
40:27
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. He's got something in his bag.
40:28
Speaker 5: What do you got for me, my man?
40:30
Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
40:30
Speaker 11: I brought a rabbit.
40:31
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
40:34
Speaker 11: It's the flattest rabbit I have ever.
40:36
Speaker 5: Why do.
40:37
Speaker 11: You have a rabbit?
40:38
Speaker 15: I think that rabbit has seen the underneath of an 18-wheeler, possibly.
40:43
Speaker 11: Well, you said you had.
40:44
Speaker 15: To bring in an animal, so I don't make the rules.
40:46
Speaker 11: We just follow them.
40:47
Speaker 5: Do you have any states that give you particularly bad vibes, Glenn?
40:51
Speaker 5: You're a world traveler. You're a traveled man.
40:54
Speaker 15: You know, I've generally found, and you guys, there are
40:57
Speaker 15: good and bad in everyone.
40:59
Speaker 11: That sounds like a song.
41:00
Speaker 12: True.
41:01
Speaker 11: But the same way in states.
41:03
Speaker 15: There's good spots and there's bad spots.
41:05
Speaker 11: Except in Texas, there are no bad spots.
41:07
Speaker 1: Now, quit with the political answers, Glenn. Tell us what
41:09
Speaker 1: you feel.
41:10
Speaker 11: And I don't know. Yeah, someone who ever wrote.
41:13
Speaker 15: As a matter of fact, we could probably call into
41:16
Speaker 15: those guys and ask them who are the people that
41:19
Speaker 15: voted on their little survey because that's not true. I
41:23
Speaker 15: would find out, Norris, sometimes I've been up there and
41:26
Speaker 15: they tell me, they say bust your chops. They don't
41:30
Speaker 15: say chops. And I say, well, that's just what we do.
41:34
Speaker 11: It's what we do.
41:35
Speaker 15: And I say, well, we have a word for that
41:38
Speaker 15: down in Texas and we just call you a Yeah.
41:41
Speaker 11: Rear end. Yeah. So we're not like that.
41:44
Speaker 5: So I don't know.
41:46
Speaker 11: You can have some bad times anywhere you go.
41:47
Speaker 5: Wes might have won this thing with his text message.
41:51
Speaker 5: Not a state, but D.C., definitely.
41:54
Speaker 1: Oh, D.C.
41:55
Speaker 11: He's the worst.
41:56
Speaker 1: The worst!
41:57
Speaker 11: I would agree with that.
41:58
Speaker 17: All right.
41:58
Speaker 5: Anyway, let's move on to the business at hand. Chamber
42:01
Speaker 5: of Commerce, what you got?
42:02
Speaker 15: Yeah, I was driving by when I was scraping this
42:04
Speaker 15: rabbit off the road. A guy pulled down and rolled
42:07
Speaker 15: down his window.
42:08
Speaker 11: And he said, you know, hey, you're the chamber guy.
42:10
Speaker 9: Yeah.
42:10
Speaker 15: He goes, is there anywhere in town that I could
42:13
Speaker 15: go and maybe learn employee benefits? Employee Benefits 101 may
42:17
Speaker 15: be a straightforward overview of today's employee benefits landscape.
42:22

42:23
Speaker 15: This is your day. This is your lucky day. Let

47:35
Speaker 1: at ccelectricbcs.com.
47:38
Speaker 5: 1620-945-WTAW. Tuesday morning. Should be a highly interesting day weather-wise.
47:46
Speaker 5: Highly interesting rest of the week weather-wise, honestly. Today, about
47:50
Speaker 5: 30% chance of rain. Gets better. Bigger is the later
47:53
Speaker 5: we go in the afternoon or the evening, turning to
47:55
Speaker 5: about a 60 to 70 percent chance of rain by tomorrow.
47:58
Speaker 5: Only getting up to the mid 90s today, only getting
48:00
Speaker 5: up to about 90 tomorrow. And again, the rule of
48:03
Speaker 5: thumb here, which is probably stupid for me to commit
48:07
Speaker 5: to on the radio, but I'm going to do it anyway.
48:09
Speaker 5: The further east you go from Bryan College Station. Probably
48:13
Speaker 5: the gnarlier it's going to get.
48:14
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a stretch. I think you can
48:16
Speaker 1: pretty safely call that.
48:17
Speaker 5: Then West started moving away from College Station towards Caldwell. Okay,
48:21
Speaker 5: a little bit less. And what will we get in BCS? Well,
48:23
Speaker 5: we're going to find out tomorrow. And again, Max's most
48:26
Speaker 5: recent models that you put out show maybe an inch,
48:29
Speaker 5: which would be.
48:30
Speaker 1: Great. His spread is a half inch to two and
48:32
Speaker 1: a half.
48:32
Speaker 5: I love that.
48:34
Speaker 1: Yeah.
48:34
Speaker 5: I love that, but it could be a quarter of
48:36
Speaker 5: an inch. Yeah, it could be two inches.
48:38
Speaker 1: Just please, just bring us a good rain. Yeah, please.
48:41
Speaker 5: That's what we're looking for out of this whole thing.
48:43
Speaker 5: Weather is brought to you by our friends at United
48:46
Speaker 5: Roofing and Sheet Metal, home of the Duralast Roof System,
48:48
Speaker 5: the world's best roof. Give them a call, 268-ROOF, or
48:51
Speaker 5: go to unitedroofingpros.com. We spent a good half of the
48:54
Speaker 5: show yesterday talking about That monstrosity that they were hauling.
48:59
Speaker 1: Down Highway 6. Nobody's been able to tell me.
49:02
Speaker 5: What it was.
49:03
Speaker 1: 979-695-1620.
49:03
Speaker 5: We still have a few minutes. If someone can answer
49:07
Speaker 5: that question of what that thing was.
49:11
Speaker 1: I assume it has something to do with petroleum processing
49:14
Speaker 1: or some sort of processing.
49:15
Speaker 5: Hell, it could have been an air conditioning unit or something.
49:18
Speaker 5: I have no idea. I have no idea. what that was.
49:21
Speaker 1: I described it on the air yesterday from the pictures
49:23
Speaker 1: that we got. I thought it looked like Skylab. And
49:26
Speaker 1: then I told my daughter the same thing, and she's like,
49:29
Speaker 1: what's a Skylab? So I had to go back and
49:32
Speaker 1: do all of that. She and I got caught, nearly
49:34
Speaker 1: caught behind it, at Rock Prairie and Bypass 6.
49:38
Speaker 5: You somehow found, like, we were like, hey, avoid, avoid, avoid,
49:41
Speaker 5: and you found it!
49:41
Speaker 1: Right, but we had no idea what the time frame was.
49:44
Speaker 1: So when we get off the air, it's supposedly about
49:47
Speaker 1: Westward Ho, and I'm like, okay.
49:48
Speaker 5: I would have thought you would have had more time
49:50
Speaker 5: to get across.
49:51
Speaker 1: Right, so I go home.
49:52
Speaker 18: Yeah.
49:53
Speaker 1: Pick up the daughter.
49:54
Speaker 18: Right.
49:55
Speaker 1: Go run a few errands. We go have breakfast. And
49:59
Speaker 1: then I get on Rock Prairie to head over to
50:01
Speaker 1: the bank.
50:01
Speaker 5: Moved one mile.
50:02
Speaker 1: And they are removing the traffic signals of the access
50:05
Speaker 1: road at Rock Prairie to let this behemoth through. And
50:09
Speaker 1: people were going crazy. There was anger out there.
50:13
Speaker 5: That's the thing is if you get... If you get
50:16
Speaker 5: stuck in, if you got stuck in that thing, that's
50:19
Speaker 5: a 30, 45 minute commitment where you're just put in
50:23
Speaker 5: park and sit. You're not doing anything because again, they
50:27
Speaker 5: had to take down all, they had to raise the
50:29
Speaker 5: power lines, raise the streetlights because it was staying on
50:32
Speaker 5: the feeder. And I get the anger. I truly do
50:36
Speaker 5: because that's a bad way to spend your morning. Not
50:40
Speaker 5: as bad as if you're the driver.
50:42
Speaker 1: No, I was thinking about that poor guy.
50:44
Speaker 5: Is that not the worst job?
50:47
Speaker 1: Not financially, I'm sure. No, I'm sure he's making bank.
50:50
Speaker 1: But let's face it, on a good day, perfect weather
50:52
Speaker 1: and a wide open road with no traffic, that's still tense.
50:56
Speaker 5: Mary Mike saw it too, our sales legend. She says
50:59
Speaker 5: it looked like some type of a turbine.
51:02
Speaker 11: I don't know.
51:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, I cannot imagine being
51:07
Speaker 5: that driver.
51:08
Speaker 1: I was over by Scott and White trying to change
51:11
Speaker 1: lanes in traffic, which is not easy in the F-250.
51:15
Speaker 1: And then I was trying to pull U-turns and, you know.
51:19
Speaker 1: My daughter's like, you're going to hit the curb. I
51:20
Speaker 1: was like, it's an F-250. That's fine.
51:22
Speaker 5: We'll risk it today.
51:23
Speaker 16: Yeah.
51:23
Speaker 5: We'll risk it today.
51:24
Speaker 1: So I put all of the, I mean, I did
51:27
Speaker 1: everything possible in that and ended up driving through a neighborhood.
51:32
Speaker 1: Stuck behind a classic moped when I got in the neighborhood.
51:35
Speaker 1: I mean, an old school, like you shouldn't be seen
51:38
Speaker 1: riding it.
51:39
Speaker 5: You can still buy, you can just buy those. They're
51:40
Speaker 5: not really that old. They're just kind of meant to
51:42
Speaker 5: look old. It's a vintage.
51:43
Speaker 1: No, I think this was actual vintage. My goodness.
51:47
Speaker 15: Wow.
51:48
Speaker 4: Wow.
51:48
Speaker 5: Okay.
51:49
Speaker 1: I think it had pedals.
51:51
Speaker 5: Anything you need, any wheels you can get that will
51:53
Speaker 5: take you away from that giant moving building.
51:56
Speaker 1: That was just an incredibly large load. The logistics, think
51:59
Speaker 1: about that. They had to remove every traffic signal through
52:02
Speaker 1: the entire Big Six project because that wasn't going down
52:05
Speaker 1: the canyon.
52:06
Speaker 5: Text message all about on a Monday, too. Yeah, but
52:09
Speaker 5: what day would be better to do it on? I mean,
52:13
Speaker 5: I don't know when you're supposed to do that.
52:14
Speaker 1: 3 a.m. Sunday morning. 3 a.m.
52:16
Speaker 5: Sunday morning. But, like, any time today would be worse.
52:19
Speaker 5: I mean, we've got a tropical storm cooking out there,
52:22
Speaker 5: and then it's Aggie football. You imagine what that would
52:26
Speaker 5: have looked like.
52:27
Speaker 1: That would have been.
52:29
Speaker 5: By some horrific twist of fate, it had fallen to
52:34
Speaker 5: Saturday morning.
52:36
Speaker 1: That would have been something to.
52:38
Speaker 5: See, y'all.
52:39
Speaker 15: Sean.
52:40
Speaker 11: Sean.
52:41
Speaker 5: Again, he votes for 3 a.m. through town when it's dark.
52:46
Speaker 1: When I come through the Big Six, the little piece
52:49
Speaker 1: that I drive at 3 a.m.
52:51
Speaker 5: They're working pretty hard out there.
52:52
Speaker 1: They're working exceptionally hard. My comment was on the traffic.
52:56
Speaker 1: It's nil.
52:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. The impact is much, much, much softer. But look,
53:05
Speaker 5: I'm certain. That's not the last one we're going to get.
53:08
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. It's not the first one.
53:10
Speaker 1: We had a couple come through before that weren't quite
53:12
Speaker 1: as big.
53:12
Speaker 5: Real freak shows. I would love to talk to someone
53:16
Speaker 5: that actually deals with moving those things because I have
53:19
Speaker 5: no comprehension.
53:21
Speaker 1: I might know some people.
53:22
Speaker 9: Do you?
53:22
Speaker 1: By the way.
53:23
Speaker 5: Let's bring them in.
53:24
Speaker 1: So Glenn left us the rabbit.
53:26
Speaker 5: Thank you for reminding me. The rabbit now lives. In
53:30
Speaker 5: the WTAW studio, Will is looking at it right now.
53:34
Speaker 1: No, it's looking at me. It's beady little eyes.
53:37
Speaker 5: So do we want to have a homework assignment for tonight?
53:40
Speaker 5: Is that fine? Well, that's too early for that noise.
53:44
Speaker 5: I think we need to name the rabbit.
53:46
Speaker 11: Yes.
53:47
Speaker 5: I'm not certain.
53:47
Speaker 1: You'll think about that overnight.
53:49
Speaker 5: I'm not certain that it's the best idea. To give
53:52
Speaker 5: you a puppet. I feel like that is clearly not
53:55
Speaker 5: the best idea. I mean, it could be. I don't know.
53:58
Speaker 1: Depends.
53:59
Speaker 5: And we do need a third co-host. So once again.
54:02
Speaker 5: You know, will a small rabbit, Frito, Will and the Rabbit?
54:07
Speaker 5: I'll have to develop a rabbit voice.
54:10
Speaker 1: I'll have to put some work into that.
54:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, are you thinking more Bugs Bunny or more like.
54:14
Speaker 1: What's up, Doc?
54:15
Speaker 16: Nah.
54:15
Speaker 10: No.
54:16
Speaker 5: All right, Chase, early submission Bugs Bunny. That's trademarked, sir.
54:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
54:20
Speaker 5: Jason Harvey, the rabbit, also trademarked, sir. Need something again.
54:23
Speaker 5: This is a good start, though. I don't mean to.
54:25
Speaker 1: No.
54:25
Speaker 5: I know this is against the rules of brainstorming. I'm
54:28
Speaker 5: not supposed to critique. No, yeah, throw it out there.
54:29
Speaker 1: Just understand why we can't use it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
54:32
Speaker 5: But this is a good start. And again, we have
54:35
Speaker 5: a whole 24 hours to think about this.
54:37
Speaker 1: Flat the rabbit.
54:41
Speaker 5: He was flat. He's not flat anymore.
54:43
Speaker 1: He can be.
54:44
Speaker 5: He's, you know.
54:46
Speaker 1: Well, we all know me and put it on the board.
54:48
Speaker 1: We all know me and varmints. I'm bound to run
54:50
Speaker 1: it over at some point in time.
54:51
Speaker 5: Put it on the board. Flat. The rabbit is the
54:54
Speaker 5: leader only because there is, to my knowledge, no, no
54:59
Speaker 5: trademark on that. Flack the Rabbit might make an interesting character, too,
55:03
Speaker 5: because you could turn him into a book like Flat Stanley.
55:06
Speaker 7: Yeah.
55:06
Speaker 5: That kid's character that you have.
55:08
Speaker 1: Teach kids about roadkill.
55:09
Speaker 5: I see where you're going. I saw where you were going.
55:11
Speaker 1: 1620, 94.5 WTAW, College Station, Bryan.
