- 0:07Speaker 1: for lows all weekend long. And weather is brought to
- 0:09Speaker 1: you by Malik Service Company. The Texas heat air conditioner
- 0:11Speaker 1: works overtime. But a well-tuned AC will save you money

- 0:17Speaker 1: and Carrier to keep your AC running properly. Malik, feel
- 0:20Speaker 1: the difference. I was listening to the... One more time,
- 0:25Speaker 1: just in case you just joined us. Will provided me
- 0:29Speaker 1: an anthem for the show.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Will Jingle.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Assuming that Will is.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Cool with going with.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We call it imaging. Imaging in the first.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Will Highwell. Just imaging.
- 0:36Speaker 4: And....
- 0:38Speaker 1: I'm shocked how good it is, which is, I'm going
- 0:41Speaker 1: to guess, did you contract this with a production house
- 0:46Speaker 1: or is the production house?
- 0:48Speaker 2: The production house is one called Gemini.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
- 0:52Speaker 3: And yeah.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Man, that's crazy.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I was actually kind of shocked. Now, the first iterations,
- 0:57Speaker 2: because I think that is version four or five.
- 1:00Speaker 1: That's still crazy. It's crazy that it could put that out.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I think it's good, actually.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It is.
- 1:05Speaker 2: It's stuck in my head, unfortunately.
- 1:07Speaker 1: As someone that does... I mean, you've done this, too. Like,
- 1:10Speaker 1: there are real-life jingle companies... Yeah. that made, in the past...
- 1:16Speaker 1: I mean, you could make a real good living making
- 1:19Speaker 1: jingles for radio stations. A real good living.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Jingles for radio stations, products, everything.
- 1:27Speaker 1: And now, like, you have to assume... That ain't going
- 1:31Speaker 1: to be around much longer. Nope, probably not. Not with
- 1:36Speaker 1: Frito and Pie.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Not with a 56-year-old non-technology advanced dude while at stoplights
- 1:44Speaker 2: in his pickup truck could come up with that.
- 1:47Speaker 1: In between things, it's a terrifying thing. And again, it
- 1:53Speaker 1: just continues. There's a story that your company might already
- 1:57Speaker 1: be betraying you by.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Basically taking all of your communications that run through company
- 2:06Speaker 1: channels like Slack, company emails, and then selling those to
- 2:12Speaker 1: AI companies so that they can train their AI. They
- 2:17Speaker 1: can basically use it to say, oh, well, this is
- 2:19Speaker 1: how people talk. And you never know. But the company's like, ah,
- 2:23Speaker 1: we can get a few extra grand for this a month.
- 2:25Speaker 2: When you always feel like your company email, for certain,
- 2:29Speaker 2: is something that is not really what you would consider private.
- 2:35Speaker 2: My office environment jobs, I kind of got in on
- 2:38Speaker 2: the instant messaging sort of thing. I guess that's what
- 2:42Speaker 2: Slack is.
- 2:42Speaker 1: That's what Slack is.
- 2:44Speaker 2: So that sort of thing started to exist. And I
- 2:47Speaker 2: always thought, yeah, anything you type into Slack, Anything work-related
- 2:51Speaker 2: could be used for anything, but nobody ever considered, hey,
- 2:55Speaker 2: we're going to take this and sell it.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Exactly. It could be material for profit, which is kind
- 3:02Speaker 1: of sad. Jennifer reminds us that Barry Manilow started writing jingles,
- 3:09Speaker 1: so if AI replaces the jingle writer, will AI replace
- 3:14Speaker 1: the future Barry Manilow?
- 3:17Speaker 2: I mean, probably.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I was like, is that a problem?
- 3:22Speaker 2: I mean, that's... That's a thing, I guess.
- 3:24Speaker 1: We had some traffic things we wanted to get to.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Yeah, we did. As a matter of fact, Deanna texted
- 3:28Speaker 2: in with this update, a little friendly reminder. Today at
- 3:33Speaker 2: 1 o'clock in the afternoon is the Calvert ISD Homecoming Parade.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Oh, man.
- 3:37Speaker 2: So you may want to avoid Highway 6 in Calvert
- 3:40Speaker 2: about that time, 1 o'clock this afternoon.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Oh, well, that's cool.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Yeah, Calvert's such a beautiful kind of town, you know,
- 3:47Speaker 2: and despite the fact that there's four lanes of Highway
- 3:49Speaker 2: 6 driving through the middle of it.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I cannot imagine a better way to spend a Friday
- 3:54Speaker 1: than watching a homecoming parade in Calvert, Texas.
- 3:58Speaker 3: That is amazing.
- 3:59Speaker 1: But yeah, if you're planning on going up north, it
- 4:02Speaker 1: involves Highway 6.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and that reminded me as well that we do
- 4:05Speaker 2: have some other traffic things heading into the weekend, Sunday
- 4:08Speaker 2: morning specifically, I believe 7 a.m. We've got the Oktoberfest,
- 4:14Speaker 2: what do they call it? Yeah, the Oktoberfest half marathon
- 4:16Speaker 2: at 10k.
- 4:17Speaker 1: There's a half marathon?
- 4:18Speaker 2: And 10K. Both races will finish at Kyle Field. The
- 4:23Speaker 2: half marathon is really the one that probably, if you're
- 4:27Speaker 2: traveling about that time in that area, you might have
- 4:30Speaker 2: some issues. I believe the 10K is all essentially on
- 4:34Speaker 2: West Campus.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:36Speaker 2: But the maps and everything else available at bcshalf.com.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Is this the one where they give you beer?
- 4:40Speaker 2: Look, it was on my first question as well. But
- 4:44Speaker 2: it says nothing about it. It says aid stations will
- 4:47Speaker 2: be every one and a half miles and will include
- 4:49Speaker 2: water and a sports drink.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Then no beer?
- 4:52Speaker 2: I'm not seeing any beer.
- 4:54Speaker 1: It's Oktoberfest. I know.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I mean, there might be.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I could get a beer at the finish line. I
- 5:01Speaker 1: know a lot of hardcore runners, and most of them
- 5:04Speaker 1: say that it actually is better to run while you're
- 5:09Speaker 1: drinking beer, like obviously drink water too, but like beer,
- 5:12Speaker 1: especially for distance beer, I think in two parts, number one,
- 5:16Speaker 1: it's got some salts or whatever, but it also makes
- 5:18Speaker 1: it a less crappy experience.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Yeah, dude. The amount of beer has not been brewed.
- 5:25Speaker 2: That would make me run a 10 K. I might
- 5:28Speaker 2: stroll one with a couple of six-packs.
- 5:30Speaker 1: That'll be fine. See, but again, isn't that a fun?
- 5:33Speaker 1: You want to motivate. Exercise is exercise. Moving is exercise.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Isn't it more fun? Wouldn't you be inclined to try
- 5:41Speaker 1: to walk a 10K if you knew that about every
- 5:42Speaker 1: mile and a half, someone would be handing you a nice.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Cold beverage? You talk about the carrot on the stick
- 5:49Speaker 2: in front of the donkey. I'm that donkey.
- 5:53Speaker 1: That's the one, man. That is the one.
- 5:56Speaker 2: So watch out for that. BCSHalf.com if you need that
- 5:59Speaker 2: map information. Again, 7 a.m. on Sunday morning.
- 6:02Speaker 3: All right.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Let's see. What else do we have?
- 6:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Geez, I had some other stuff I wanted to get to.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Now I can't remember what it is. I just realized
- 6:11Speaker 1: I didn't stick in the commercials. So it's open season, Will.
- 6:14Speaker 2: It's open season? Do you have anything you want to
- 6:16Speaker 2: get to? I get to pick.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Yes.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Have you seen from this news breaking from the State Department?
- 6:20Speaker 2: I feel like I need to have a news sounder
- 6:22Speaker 2: behind me. They have upgraded the travel advisory for you
- 6:25Speaker 2: folks who are considering spending the holidays in Kenya.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:30Speaker 3: I'm glad. Okay.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Continue this story because I do have something to add
- 6:35Speaker 1: to this.
- 6:36Speaker 2: So they've said they've raised it to a level three,
- 6:38Speaker 2: which means reconsider travel. It means don't go. Yeah, essentially.
- 6:41Speaker 2: And what they said, and this probably came from the
- 6:44Speaker 2: head of our State Department, Marco Rubio, because this sounds
- 6:47Speaker 2: like something like he would say. He said they recommend
- 6:50Speaker 2: that if you are traveling to Kenya, that you update
- 6:54Speaker 2: your will.
- 6:55Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what?
- 6:57Speaker 2: Say you should update your will.
- 7:02Speaker 1: They hit us with the update your will travel advisory.
- 7:05Speaker 2: You talk about effective messaging.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Well, that cuts through, don't it?
- 7:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it does.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Oh, my word. I was thinking like, oh, yeah, you know,
- 7:14Speaker 1: be aware of your surroundings and make sure you stay
- 7:17Speaker 1: around the resort or don't associate with any suspect people.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Update your will.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Your will. Yeah. I've gotten served an amazing amount of
- 7:28Speaker 1: tourism ads recently. for Angola recently. Have you seen any
- 7:32Speaker 1: of these?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Angola, the prison in Louisiana?
- 7:34Speaker 1: No, Angola, the nation.
- 7:36Speaker 3: The nation?
- 7:36Speaker 2: No, I've not.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Strikes me as not necessarily as dangerous, but fairly. We've
- 7:43Speaker 1: gotten tourism commercials in the past year from Angola, from Somalia.
- 7:49Speaker 1: What is going on that you're trying to sell me
- 7:56Speaker 1: I can't afford a trip to Disney World, fam. If
- 7:59Speaker 1: I'm going to fly across an ocean, I don't know
- 8:02Speaker 1: that those are going to be on the top of
- 8:03Speaker 1: my list.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Well, if you're really into warfare, famine, and Ebola, then
- 8:08Speaker 2: perhaps one of those destinations may be for you.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Can you make a package where you update my will?
- 8:14Speaker 1: Is that a.
- 8:16Speaker 2: A travel agent and lawyer. There we go.

- 10:29Speaker 10: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
- 10:33Speaker 10: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
- 10:37Speaker 10: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
- 10:41Speaker 10: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
- 10:44Speaker 10: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
- 10:47Speaker 10: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
- 10:51Speaker 10: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
- 10:55Speaker 10: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
- 10:58Speaker 11: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
- 11:02Speaker 11: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
- 11:05Speaker 11: drug cartels. He banned a state income tax so you
- 11:08Speaker 11: keep more of your money and Texas remains number one
- 11:11Speaker 11: in job creation. And Governor Abbott keeps you safe by
- 11:15Speaker 11: fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals locked up.
- 11:18Speaker 2: That's the choice, Texas.
- 11:20Speaker 11: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
- 11:23Speaker 11: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Political ad paid for by Texans for Greg Abbott.
- 11:29Speaker 1: 1620, 94.5 WTAW. Good morning. We're the Infomaniacs. 979-695. 1620
- 11:34Speaker 1: is our text line. You can call us, text us, whatever.
- 11:39Speaker 1: And it is a Friday before an Aggie game day.
- 11:43Speaker 1: That means it's time to talk. This is my fight song.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Fight song.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Take back my life song.
- 11:50Speaker 1: And there is one heck of an opponent this week.
- 11:54Speaker 12: Yeah, there is.
- 11:55Speaker 1: The University of Alabama, the Crimson Tide. I'm familiar with
- 12:00Speaker 1: the song. I did not know it was titled Yay Alabama,
- 12:04Speaker 1: which I read in my head is like the Macarena.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Yay Alabama. That's not bad. I'm not familiar with this
- 12:11Speaker 2: song at all. And I'm just looking at the lyrics
- 12:14Speaker 2: right now. And honestly, the first two lines are incredibly disturbing.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Let's roll through this one because I honestly, this is
- 12:22Speaker 1: the least Alabama. I mean, I do know the song
- 12:26Speaker 1: and I get that it plays at football games. I don't.
- 12:28Speaker 1: There are songs I associate with Alabama far, far more
- 12:33Speaker 1: than yay Alabama. But here we go. Please stand.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Yay, Alabama.
- 12:38Speaker 1: You'll know when it kicks in. You'll hear it coming.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I'm waiting.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Yeah, they really do a lot of.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Yay Alabama, drown them tied. Every Bama man's behind you.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Hit your stride. Go teach the Bulldogs to behave. Send
- 13:00Speaker 2: the Yellow Jackets to a watery grave. And if a
- 13:03Speaker 2: man starts to weaken, that's a shame. For Bama's pluck
- 13:08Speaker 2: and grit have writ her name in crimson flame. Fight on,
- 13:12Speaker 2: fight on, fight on, men. Remember the Rose Bowl will
- 13:16Speaker 2: win then. So roll on to victory. Hit your stride.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Your Dixie's football pride Frozen Tide, Roll Tide, Roll Tide
- 13:26Speaker 2: The first two lines there Yay Alabama, drown them Tide Really?
- 13:30Speaker 2: We're encouraging homicide? Drown them, drown them And then every
- 13:34Speaker 2: Alabama man's behind you There's some connotations there I don't
- 13:37Speaker 2: want to get.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Into Let's be real, that is not the song most
- 13:40Speaker 1: people associate with Alabama football No it is not This
- 13:42Speaker 1: is the song that most people associate with Alabama football.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Oh yeah I mean, essentially, they should shuck this old,
- 13:51Speaker 2: tired fight song and use this.
- 13:55Speaker 1: When you have the That's how you get a fight song.
- 14:00Speaker 1: People just really like a song.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Tradition. Just go with this.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I mean, it's not near as violent as Yay Alabama.
- 14:07Speaker 1: No. Just put a band behind, maybe up the tempo.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Maybe so.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Did you see the sing-along at the end of the
- 14:15Speaker 1: Tennessee game? I did. Because that's the new thing. Whenever
- 14:18Speaker 1: you beat a team, you have to spike the football
- 14:20Speaker 1: and rub it in. So once Tennessee rushed the field,
- 14:24Speaker 1: they just hit Dixieland Delight, and they... Scream along.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 14:30Speaker 1: That was very personal. But, you know, that's still.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I mean, a great song.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Yeah, fantastic song. That doesn't fire me up.
- 14:43Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. And it also doesn't really instill me
- 14:45Speaker 1: with fear. I mean, everyone likes a nice Dixieland delight.
- 14:48Speaker 1: That's not just that. You need something that's going to terrify.
- 14:51Speaker 2: You want to cause that just blinding fear.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Give them nightmares.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:58Speaker 1: That's what you want. You want a song to hit
- 15:01Speaker 1: that gives them nightmares.
- 15:03Speaker 12: Uh-oh.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Stop me when I'm telling lies.
- 15:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Much more effective fight song.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Stop me when I'm telling lies.
- 15:14Speaker 2: I mean, to be fair, there's several SEC schools that
- 15:17Speaker 2: could utilize this song.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Imagine, you know, I know we have, you know, Kanye.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Imagine that Brian Denny's rocking and all you hear is
- 15:28Speaker 1: the first. Man, all you hear is that. Smoke machines
- 15:36Speaker 1: start going. You know, the lights are pulsing.
- 15:38Speaker 2: And you could probably get somebody to really do a
- 15:41Speaker 2: sick remix of this. I bet it probably exists.
- 15:44Speaker 5: It has.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Someone has to have put some.
- 15:45Speaker 13: Right.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Kind of like what they did with Freebird, where Freebird
- 15:48Speaker 1: has that hype mix that everyone uses now.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Dude, this would be a great hype mix.
- 15:52Speaker 1: And you let it build.
- 15:53Speaker 2: You let the crowd kind of clap along to it.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Alabama could use it. Georgia could use it. Tennessee could
- 15:58Speaker 2: use it.
- 15:59Speaker 1: How West Virginia hasn't used this forever.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Arkansas, man. You get those dead-eyed hillbillies doing a woo
- 16:04Speaker 2: pig over the top of this.
- 16:06Speaker 1: How intimidating is that when you look up in the
- 16:07Speaker 1: stands and you see all those bammers? Or, yeah, like
- 16:10Speaker 1: you mentioned, hill people in Arkansas. And they're all staring
- 16:13Speaker 1: at you. And they're all just like... They're all looking
- 16:15Speaker 1: at you with that tooth. Same tooth. It's only one tooth.
- 16:20Speaker 1: get custody of it on weekends. And yeah, this is,
- 16:25Speaker 1: this is where it's at. This I'm, I'm scared. This
- 16:29Speaker 1: should be the Alabama.
- 16:31Speaker 2: It should be definitive. Speaking of things that are horribly
- 16:37Speaker 2: terrifying in the realm of sec football, this just out
- 16:43Speaker 2: from the fine folks at LSU.
- 16:46Speaker 1: We have an LSU story.
- 16:47Speaker 2: We have an LSU story. Following the out-of-control crowds and
- 16:51Speaker 2: series of brawls after the homecoming game against Mississippi State.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Wait, you're going to have to catch me up.
- 16:58Speaker 2: I was unaware. I thought it was normal, everyday LSU football.
- 17:03Speaker 2: I didn't see anything, any news stories or anything else
- 17:05Speaker 2: that said there were, quote, riots and brawls.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Okay, all right, continue.
- 17:11Speaker 2: They have announced immediate enhanced game day security measures.
- 17:14Speaker 14: Right.
- 17:15Speaker 2: So here's what they're going to do. They're cracking down
- 17:18Speaker 2: on unauthorized large-scale events. So at your tailgate, you can
- 17:22Speaker 2: no longer have DJs, live bands, or you can't build
- 17:26Speaker 2: a stage.
- 17:27Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what? That's a problem.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:30Speaker 1: That's a problem.
- 17:31Speaker 2: No large-scale unauthorized parties. No live bands, like I said.
- 17:36Speaker 1: What are y'all trying to do? Do y'all know who
- 17:37Speaker 1: you are?
- 17:38Speaker 2: During or after the game. They are enforcing student tailgate deadlines.
- 17:43Speaker 2: There's a long-standing rule that apparently they have not been
- 17:46Speaker 2: enforcing that all student tailgates, including those hosted by Greek
- 17:50Speaker 2: life organizations, must completely wind down and end exactly one
- 17:55Speaker 2: hour before kickoff.
- 17:56Speaker 1: What are you doing? What are you doing, guys?
- 18:00Speaker 2: They are enhancing their law enforcement presence.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Do you know who your fans are?
- 18:04Speaker 2: They are monitoring conflict hotspots.
- 18:07Speaker 13: Right.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Zero tolerance policies are in place.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Guys, this isn't BYU. This is LSU.
- 18:15Speaker 2: How out of hand did it have to get before
- 18:18Speaker 2: LSU said, hey guys, we're going to do something about this?
- 18:21Speaker 1: That's a great question, man.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Because out of hand is like normal.
- 18:26Speaker 1: There's several schools where you go to because it gets
- 18:29Speaker 1: that way. That you want to see it get that way.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Everyone who's grown up here who is an Aggie fan
- 18:36Speaker 1: has been to Death Valley at some point in time
- 18:38Speaker 1: and part of the fun of going to Death Valley
- 18:41Speaker 1: is not knowing if you're going.
- 18:42Speaker 2: To survive right that's what y'all do it's a test
- 18:47Speaker 2: of your grit.
- 18:48Speaker 1: It's Cajun food and assault.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Either of which can kill you.
- 18:52Speaker 1: And your coach is laying who are you trying to pretend.
- 18:57Speaker 2: That you I don't know but again how bad did
- 18:59Speaker 2: it have to get I can only.
- 19:02Speaker 1: That's called a great weekend.
- 19:04Speaker 2: And all of these rules.
- 19:04Speaker 1: That's called a great weekend.
- 19:06Speaker 2: All of these rules were already in place, so they
- 19:09Speaker 2: had chosen not to enforce them up to this point.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Make LSU football chaos again. I just don't know what
- 19:16Speaker 1: to say. Once again, I.

- 22:03Speaker 3: On this Friday, I'm thinking about media censorship. You remember that.
- 22:09Speaker 5: Jon Stewart, the comedian, and I have a long history.
- 22:14Speaker 5: We did each other's programs, hosted specials together, live debates
- 22:19Speaker 5: on and on.
- 22:20Speaker 3: I've kept in touch with Stewart, who I like.
- 22:24Speaker 5: But he will not put me on his program to
- 22:27Speaker 5: discuss my book, Confronting America, What Has to Change. And
- 22:33Speaker 5: the reason why is not because he doesn't like the book.
- 22:37Speaker 3: He didn't read it.
- 22:39Speaker 5: It's because if he did put me on Comedy Central,
- 22:44Speaker 5: he'd face an enormous backlash from his progressive audience.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Now, we have seen this before.
- 22:52Speaker 5: That's why most of these people just ignore non-liberal guests.
- 22:58Speaker 5: They will not book anyone with a traditional point of
- 23:02Speaker 5: view because it's not worth the blowback. Every fair-minded person
- 23:08Speaker 5: knows the fix is in with the media. And that's
- 23:13Speaker 5: why CNN's daily primetime ratings have dropped from 1.5 million
- 23:17Speaker 5: viewers in 2015 to just 400,000 last year. That is

- 33:30Speaker 2: Weather-wise, can you get better than this weekend? I don't
- 33:32Speaker 2: think so.

- 33:46Speaker 1: I'm choosing to discuss this because your wife is a teacher,
- 33:50Speaker 1: so I think you'll have an interesting perspective on it.
- 33:53Speaker 1: I do think it's probably a little late in the
- 33:54Speaker 1: game to be trying to get teachers to weigh in
- 33:56Speaker 1: on this, but I am asking because really y'all are
- 34:00Speaker 1: the only ones that can answer this debate, which once
- 34:05Speaker 1: again is right back at the top of the pile
- 34:07Speaker 1: because this meme keeps circulating every few years about which
- 34:13Speaker 1: color notebook is best for each subject. Do you know
- 34:19Speaker 1: what I'm talking about?
- 34:20Speaker 2: It's a debate I've never had.
- 34:21Speaker 1: You've never had this.
- 34:22Speaker 2: With myself, because number one, I was a completely disorganized,
- 34:26Speaker 2: you know, mess of a student.
- 34:28Speaker 3: He, he, he, he.
- 34:29Speaker 1: See, I had one folder and it was called my backpack.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:33Speaker 1: And everything went in. You and me both, yeah.
- 34:36Speaker 2: Folding was optional.
- 34:37Speaker 1: God help you if you needed it again because it
- 34:39Speaker 1: was coming out in some vastly different way than.
- 34:42Speaker 3: It went in.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Probably had been sitting adjacent to a sandwich for a while.
- 34:46Speaker 1: This splits households. And so I felt like it might
- 34:52Speaker 1: be good to ask you your opinion on this because
- 34:55Speaker 1: surely your wife has thoughts on what she has observed.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Which folder, and we know what we're talking about, the
- 35:02Speaker 1: colored notebooks that everyone uses to divide papers. Which color notebook?
- 35:07Speaker 1: goes with each subject, i.e. math, science, English, and history.
- 35:11Speaker 2: She teaches second grade, so I don't know how many different... Oh,
- 35:14Speaker 2: those kids are smart these days.
- 35:16Speaker 1: They've got some ideas.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know about that. I will tell you
- 35:18Speaker 2: that my youngest daughter, being CDO as she is, which
- 35:22Speaker 2: is being so OCD that she has to have it
- 35:24Speaker 2: in alphabetical order, she's very, very cognizant of what colors
- 35:28Speaker 2: she picks for her classes.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Excellent.
- 35:30Speaker 2: But I don't know what they are.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Oh, dang.
- 35:34Speaker 2: And Jordan texts in folder, you mean trapper keeper? Yeah.
- 35:39Speaker 1: No, the Trapper Keeper was great, but sure. And that was, again,
- 35:42Speaker 1: growing up. But we always did have, and I don't
- 35:46Speaker 1: remember when it started, probably about fourth or fifth grade.
- 35:48Speaker 1: You had the same colors of notebooks every single year.
- 35:54Speaker 1: And weirdly enough, I can tell you. Which ones go
- 35:59Speaker 1: with what particular subject?
- 36:00Speaker 2: I've never associated a color with a subject, so educate me.
- 36:03Speaker 3: I'll give you an example.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Let's start with the color of red. What subject corresponds
- 36:13Speaker 1: with red?
- 36:14Speaker 2: Communism. Oh, wait, that's not a subject in school. No,
- 36:19Speaker 2: so I would actually, I would put red. I would put.
- 36:22Speaker 3: It's not math?
- 36:24Speaker 2: Is it not math? I would have gone with.
- 36:25Speaker 1: For me, it's math.
- 36:26Speaker 2: For me, it would have been more like a history
- 36:29Speaker 2: or a government.
- 36:30Speaker 1: Interesting.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where I would have put the red. But
- 36:34Speaker 2: I can see because red means stop, and that would
- 36:37Speaker 2: also apply to my math.
- 36:40Speaker 1: See, I think that red is such an aggressive color,
- 36:42Speaker 1: and I hated math.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:43Speaker 1: That's the only thing I think of.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Blue.
- 36:45Speaker 2: What was blue? Blue could be.
- 36:48Speaker 1: What does blue say? Even if it was, what does
- 36:49Speaker 1: it say to you?
- 36:50Speaker 2: Blue says to me, like a science, perhaps.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Okay. See, I also believe.
- 37:00Speaker 2: I can feel English there, though, too.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Jump in any time on this, guys. 979-695-1620. Just to
- 37:06Speaker 1: give you all of the information so you know what
- 37:07Speaker 1: you're working with. Again, red, blue, green, and yellow. Those
- 37:15Speaker 1: are the four primary colors that are usually associated with
- 37:18Speaker 1: the folders that we all had as kids. Red, green, blue,
- 37:22Speaker 1: and yellow. Which goes with what subject? Bonus points if
- 37:29Speaker 1: you are a teacher and know the answer for good
- 37:31Speaker 1: and certain based on what the kids do.
- 37:33Speaker 2: There's no definitive, right?
- 37:37Speaker 1: Text message. See, okay, I'm a teacher. And I just
- 37:40Speaker 1: fight with people because to me, I see red and
- 37:43Speaker 1: purple differently. With my humanities and liberal arts. Like red
- 37:48Speaker 1: or purple. Math is blue. Science is green. Because, you know,
- 37:52Speaker 1: plants and biology are the green. The earth is green.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Biology comes from the earth.
- 37:58Speaker 2: But light is the science and light is yellow.
- 38:01Speaker 3: True.
- 38:02Speaker 1: And I know people don't agree with me. And that's fine.
- 38:06Speaker 1: But that is how they feel to me.
- 38:09Speaker 2: I think I've never seen classes as colors. I've never
- 38:15Speaker 2: looked at a color and said, that associates with that class.
- 38:18Speaker 2: It just does not go on my mind. And by
- 38:21Speaker 2: the way, what are we doing with people who are colorblind?
- 38:25Speaker 1: That is a wild question. That is a wild question.
- 38:32Speaker 2: I think about such things. I think about the outcomes
- 38:34Speaker 2: of Street Fruit and Colors for Classes.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Text message. I did easiest to hardest depending on the ROYGB. Yeah,
- 38:41Speaker 1: the one you hate is always red. I agree with that.
- 38:44Speaker 1: I feel like, again, the hardest is red. Whichever one you.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Hate the most is red. Would you not try to
- 38:49Speaker 2: reverse psychology yourself and say, yes, that's my hardest class.
- 38:53Speaker 3: You know what?
- 38:54Speaker 2: I'm going to put that on green because that's the
- 38:55Speaker 2: one I need to focus on.
- 38:56Speaker 1: That's a good point.
- 38:57Speaker 2: I should be a life coach.
- 38:59Speaker 1: This person texted in, it doesn't matter anyway, guys. Kids
- 39:01Speaker 1: don't have folders anyway anymore. You can't have a folder
- 39:04Speaker 1: that's colored in an iPad, can you? No, you can't.
- 39:07Speaker 2: And they've got to tote everything, by the way, everywhere.
- 39:09Speaker 2: We do have one real quick thing to get to
- 39:11Speaker 2: that Josiah has texted in. There's a two-car crash with
- 39:14Speaker 2: a flipped pickup on 47 South.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Holy cow.
- 39:17Speaker 2: Just south of the entrance to Rellis Campus. Oh, wow.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Backed up both directions. Police are directing southbound onto Silver Hill.
- 39:25Speaker 2: That's going to be a mess right there. Once again,
- 39:27Speaker 2: flipped pickup on 47 just south of the entrance to
- 39:30Speaker 2: the Rallis campus.
- 39:31Speaker 1: Be careful out there, guys. Back right after this.
- 39:34Speaker 27: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
- 39:36Speaker 27: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
- 39:40Speaker 27: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family

- 40:16Speaker 27: Although Halloween is still ahead of us, Christmas music may
- 40:19Speaker 27: already be playing at your local stores. Some say October
- 40:23Speaker 27: is too early, but I love it because for me,
- 40:26Speaker 27: the music of Christmas conveys the message of Christmas. Christmas
- 40:30Speaker 27: is about hope, something we're all searching for.
- 40:33Speaker 3: C.S.
- 40:34Speaker 27: Lewis turned Christmas into a powerful metaphor in his classic novel,
- 40:38Speaker 27: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. In the story,
- 40:41Speaker 27: a little girl named Lucy stumbles into the wintry land
- 40:44Speaker 27: of Narnia through a magic wardrobe. The first character she
- 40:48Speaker 27: meets is Tumnus, a creature who's part fawn and part human.
- 40:52Speaker 27: He tells Lucy that the White Witch has cursed Narnia.
- 40:57Speaker 27: It's always winter and never Christmas. Without the joy, happiness,
- 41:01Speaker 27: and laughter that Christmas inspires, Narnia became a cold, forbidding place.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Our world can be.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Cold and forbidding, too.
- 41:09Speaker 27: It's filled with suffering and selfishness, which is why Christmas
- 41:13Speaker 27: reminds us of how things are supposed to be. We
- 41:17Speaker 27: were created to love one another and to fill the
- 41:19Speaker 27: world with joy, happiness, and laughter. So even though it's
- 41:22Speaker 27: still October, I hope you can enjoy Christmas music when
- 41:26Speaker 27: you hear it. Let it fill you with the hope
- 41:29Speaker 27: of Christmas. After all, Christmas is about gifts, and no
- 41:32Speaker 27: greater gift has ever been given than the baby Jesus
- 41:36Speaker 27: in a manger who brought God's grace and and forgiveness
- 41:39Speaker 27: to a hurting world. That's a great message to hear
- 41:43Speaker 27: any time of year. For Focus on the Family, I'm
- 41:46Speaker 27: Jim Daley.
- 41:48Speaker 2: The following is not an actor, but a real-life story
- 41:51Speaker 2: from Trinity Debt Management.
- 41:52Speaker 29: Every day I speak with people who are worried and
- 41:55Speaker 29: are feeling a lot of pressure because of credit card debt.

- 42:09Speaker 29: Credit card bills are consolidated into a single monthly payment
- 42:12Speaker 29: that is much less than what they were paying before.
- 42:16Speaker 29: Most of our members end up saving thousands and even
- 42:19Speaker 29: may improve their credit scores.
- 42:21Speaker 26: By as much as 200 points.
- 42:23Speaker 29: I know from the bottom of my heart that I'm
- 42:26Speaker 29: making a difference in the lives of the people we help.
- 42:29Speaker 26: It just makes me really happy.
- 42:31Speaker 2: If credit card debt has you down, call Trinity at 1-800-CREDIT. 990-6976.

- 45:09Speaker 32: two tough losses back to back but against really talented
- 45:12Speaker 32: teams that they've been playing I think as we've talked
- 45:14Speaker 32: about trying to play our way out of this it's
- 45:17Speaker 32: it's obviously trying to find ways to create early success
- 45:20Speaker 32: but also I think understanding our ability and need to
- 45:24Speaker 32: react if you go back and think of the road
- 45:27Speaker 32: wins that we've had in my time here to get
- 45:30Speaker 32: a win against a really good team on the road
- 45:32Speaker 32: you know you're going to have to make plays early,
- 45:35Speaker 32: but you're also going to have to overcome failures.

- 49:00Speaker 1: Go to UnitedRoofingPros.com. Let's go through some text messages, starting
- 49:03Speaker 1: with the traffic ones, in case you're just joining us today.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Yeah, we've received some information that there's a wreck out
- 49:08Speaker 2: on 47. It looks like emergency response out there east
- 49:13Speaker 2: near the RELLIS campus. Josiah had initially texted that in,
- 49:17Speaker 2: and then we got a photograph from Mark. Thank you
- 49:19Speaker 2: both for.
- 49:20Speaker 1: that.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Two-car crashed pickup truck on 47 South, just south of
- 49:24Speaker 2: the entrance to RELLIS campus. Backed up in both directions.
- 49:27Speaker 1: And that's going to take a minute to resolve.
- 49:29Speaker 2: Yeah, probably so.
- 49:30Speaker 1: Just know that if you're heading around RELLIS, it's going
- 49:32Speaker 1: to take some patience. Mark texts in, in regards to
- 49:35Speaker 1: the what folders go with what subjects. Math is blue,
- 49:40Speaker 1: science is green, English is yellow, and reading is red.
- 49:43Speaker 2: Okay, I don't see it, but whatever.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Reading is red.
- 49:46Speaker 2: Donna texts in, school subjects such as folder colors sound
- 49:49Speaker 2: like you're describing a form of synthanesia.
- 49:51Speaker 1: Synesthesia, Will.
- 49:52Speaker 2: Okay, look, I had to look it up. I didn't
- 49:54Speaker 2: know what it was.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Taste the colors, my friend.
- 49:56Speaker 2: I guess that's what it is.
- 49:57Speaker 1: Taste the colors.
- 49:58Speaker 2: Randy with an I with a great text here. Math
- 50:01Speaker 2: is red, science green, social studies yellow, and math blue.
- 50:04Speaker 1: Wait a second.
- 50:07Speaker 2: I'm reading it verbatim. Math is red, science green, social
- 50:11Speaker 2: studies yellow, and math blue. Does that make math purple?
- 50:16Speaker 1: There are multiple kinds of math. There's a few different.
- 50:19Speaker 2: If you're a glutton and want to take both of
- 50:20Speaker 2: them during the same semester, I guess you're a certain
- 50:23Speaker 2: kind of sicko.
- 50:24Speaker 1: It is almost two months to Christmas. I feel bad
- 50:27Speaker 1: saying it as well. Almost, I mean, it's within 60-ish days.
- 50:34Speaker 1: Which means, have you thought about what you were buying
- 50:37Speaker 1: your loved ones for Christmas yet? You're looking at the
- 50:41Speaker 1: hate in Will's eyes that he is sending my way.
- 50:47Speaker 2: Look, my household, there are members of my household... That
- 50:52Speaker 2: over Christmas, right? They over Christmas.
- 50:55Speaker 1: Are y'all a big household full of Christmas files?
- 50:59Speaker 2: I mean, no. I'm in a household where I'm extremely
- 51:05Speaker 2: outnumbered by Christmas files. I mean, we will have three,
- 51:10Speaker 2: maybe four trees in the house.
- 51:12Speaker 1: Four trees?
- 51:13Speaker 2: Christmas trees.
- 51:14Speaker 1: Good Lord.
- 51:16Speaker 2: Not counting the ones that they want to go set
- 51:18Speaker 2: up down at the B & B.
- 51:19Speaker 1: Holy cow. Well, if you are looking to shop, do
- 51:23Speaker 1: some prep work because Christmas can get expensive. Why not
- 51:27Speaker 1: just start with the literal most expensive stuff at Christmas?
- 51:30Speaker 1: That means the Neiman Marcus Christmas book has been released.
- 51:35Speaker 2: That thing, I used to read it when I was
- 51:38Speaker 2: young just to go, wow.
- 51:40Speaker 1: That's how rich people live. That's how rich people live.
- 51:44Speaker 1: For instance, this year, we all know there's some of
- 51:47Speaker 1: these things that are in here that are just out
- 51:49Speaker 1: of this world. Star Wars Legacy Experience, a behind-the-scenes journey
- 51:52Speaker 1: at Lucasfilm. You even get a prop lightsaber designed by
- 51:57Speaker 1: the dude that makes such things. Custom lightsaber design consultations
- 52:01Speaker 1: and tickets to a world premiere and after party for
- 52:03Speaker 1: a Star Wars project.
- 52:05Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
- 52:06Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 52:07Speaker 2: That puts, like, Disney to shame.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Well, it is Disney now, right?
- 52:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm saying that it puts the parks to shame.
- 52:15Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 52:15Speaker 2: Which is a great experience. It is a great experience.
- 52:18Speaker 2: If you're one of those people that loves that, but this.
- 52:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:23Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 52:23Speaker 2: This is something that Leonard Hofstetter from Big Bang Theory
- 52:26Speaker 2: would kill to have.
- 52:27Speaker 1: Ballpark me. What's it going to cost you?
- 52:29Speaker 2: Cost you? I'm going to say. Disney prices.
- 52:31Speaker 3: Disney prices.
- 52:32Speaker 2: All of that involved. I'm going to say $ 150, 000.
- 52:34Speaker 4: Pretty close.
- 52:34Speaker 2: Well, $ 182, 000 for the Disney experience, Star Wars.
- 52:40Speaker 1: The Grand Tour with Buccioletti. Six-day journey through Italy with
- 52:46Speaker 1: the Buccioletti family. I have no idea who they are.
- 52:49Speaker 1: Featuring private museum access and a high jewelry design session
- 52:52Speaker 1: with Andrea Buccioletti. Whatever.
- 52:55Speaker 2: I don't know who they are. When you first said
- 52:57Speaker 2: the Grand Tour thing, because I'm a huge fan of
- 52:59Speaker 2: that show.
- 53:00Speaker 1: What would you pay to go on the Grand Tour
- 53:02Speaker 1: with the Grand Tour?
- 53:03Speaker 23: Man.
- 53:04Speaker 1: Maybe this price tag.
- 53:05Speaker 2: I'd give it a run at maybe.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Up to $ 50, 000. The old adage, if you can't pronounce it,
- 53:12Speaker 1: it's going to be expensive.

- 53:35Speaker 1: add to the decor. What do we think for the foosball?
- 53:38Speaker 2: I don't know what it costs, but all I'm thinking
- 53:40Speaker 2: is that is a contradiction. You cannot put that in
- 53:44Speaker 2: your man cave and claim it as a man cave.
- 53:47Speaker 1: It's Dolce and Gabbana.
- 53:49Speaker 2: Hey, guys, have you seen my new D & G

- 54:06Speaker 2: Wow.

- 54:16Speaker 1: Not bad. $ 820. You know how many sunglasses I lose?
