  Speaker 1: after police found him sleeping in a car parked in
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Brian Bachman Park after hours. College Station police say they
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: observed a car with its lights on at around 2 a.m.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday morning. 40-year-old Corey Jemaine Ozoes of Houston was
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: asleep in the driver's seat. Officers had to tap the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: window several times before they could awaken him from his slumber.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: They observed that the man was sweating profusely, even though
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the ambient temperature was approximately 63 degrees at the time.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Ozoes appeared disoriented, spoke slowly, and had a disconnected gaze
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: consistent with PCP intoxication. The child's mother later arrived on foot.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and told officers she and the man had been dating
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: for a few months. A search of Ozoi's vehicle uncovered
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a bottle containing liquid PCP weighing approximately 11.8 grams. Officers
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: also recovered 4.2 grams of crack cocaine. He was charged
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: with two counts of possession of a controlled substance and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: endangering a child with criminal negligence. Ozoi's remains jailed on $ 65, 000 bond.

  Speaker 1: The Trump administration is set to make an announcement at
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M today having to do with the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: president's nuclear energy agenda.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Department of Energy Deputy Secretary James Danley will be in
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: College Station to make an announcement that will advance President
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Trump's plan to strengthen the next generation of American nuclear energy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It may have to do with the Trump administration's plan
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to quadruple the nation's nuclear power capacity by 2050. It
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: also might have to do with the Texas state legislature
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: last year creating the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a $ 350 million nuclear development fund. In Austin, Chris Fox,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: TSN News.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: President Trump repeated a joke he's told several times about
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz while campaigning for Ken Paxton in Texas.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: The president has long believed he would not get any
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: pushback from the Senate if he decided to nominate Cruz
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court. Ted is a brilliant guy, brilliant lawyer,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: brilliant all that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Went to law school, top student, everything, top credentials.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I said I have an answer.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: To not being able to get it passed, the Democrats
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: or the Republicans together.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: I would pick Ted Cruz to be the next Supreme
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Court justice.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But the president says it's because both Democrats and Republicans
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: simply cannot stand Cruz and want him out of the Senate.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Cruz laughed and shrugged his shoulders at the rally when
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Trump spoke of the idea. News is presented by Pioneer

  Speaker 8: that pans out. Weather is brought to you by Malik.

  Speaker 8: Company and a whole home backup generator from Generac. Call
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: Malik to schedule your appointment today. today was it last
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: week we were talking about the uh the street fruit
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: in san.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Francisco yeah they were trying to somebody suggested that you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: could graft fruit trees onto the existing trees that exist
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: on San Francisco streets to help feed the homeless.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: Which sounds bonkers, which of course it is.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it can't be done from a science perspective.
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: That's stupid.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And then there's the whole, you know, what is the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: tree taking in as nutrients on the streets in San Francisco?
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there's so many reasons why it would not be
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: appealing to eat street fruit that just grows in the
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: middle of San Francisco. So, like, again, what is the point?
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: And I think that got fairly, I think everyone was
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: pretty much on the same page.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one went away quickly. Yeah, that one, done.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: But another idea that perhaps could help the homeless community
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: or the unhomed or however we refer to them as today.
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: What if we gave them a job?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like a job that, again, pays well.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those that want to work, sure, why not? Exactly.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: If you wanted to work, this could be a, Hand
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: up as they say.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: What kind of job are we talking about?
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: Dog walker. Oh. It pays $ 20 an hour.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: To walk dogs.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: They're robots.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: What?
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: Okay, so you know the robot dog, right?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those look scary.
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: They are scary. They're terrifying because they can run really,
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: really fast, and you can put guns on them.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: And so they're really very... Like, people are working really
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: hard to get the robot dogs to... become a thing
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: and i i see.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're coming out with a kinder gentler robot dog.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: Hell no will they're coming out with a killer they
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: want this to be a weapon i mean well.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I've seen those i'm wondering if if the public market
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: though yeah might be for more of a little little
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: more genteel.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: Well think about if you needed a service dog right?
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: Service dogs are already expensive.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Very expensive.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: Hard to get. And again, they're animals.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Real service dogs, not the ones that you got licensed
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: on the internet so you could take them places.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: That's 20 bucks on Amazon. We're talking about the real deal.
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: So maybe there's an application for that. So the job
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: is you need to go and you need to walk
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: these dogs for a minimum of four.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Hours a day.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: And basically just kind of let it do its thing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: You don't have to clean up after him because, of course,
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: robot dogs. But they do say if one of them
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: breaks down, because they do, you're responsible for carrying it
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: back to the office. They weigh about 30 pounds, which
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: is not terrible.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You don't want to tote that for miles.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So wait a minute. They're paying people to walk robot dogs.
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: Paying them to walk robot dogs. Because they're training.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: The AI inside the dog. Yeah, the AI. I get
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it now. Yeah, that's the idea. Hey, don't... Do not
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: assume that you don't have to pick up after them. Oh, yeah?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: My daughters had dolls that you would feed... And then
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: they would, if a dog could do that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: I think that you need to make them as lifelike
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: as possible. And part of them is, yeah, part of
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: owning a dog is when they're on a walk and
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: they just decide, I'm going.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: There's not a hold it till we get back to
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: the yard command, to my knowledge, that you can give
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: a dog. So I think a robot dog should do
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: the exact same thing. Better yet, if you can do
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: it on command, that's even better. Imagine being able to
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: walk by an enemy's yard and just being like, just
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: push the poo button on your robot dog.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I had a good friend whose dog would do that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: Oh, really?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because you wanted to let it out of the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: blind and get it back in as quickly as possible.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So he trained it to do that. So what else
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: would you train this dog for?
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: If you're if you're going to have it be as
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: lifelike as possible. I don't know. You have to have
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that sound that the dog makes when it's retching in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: What?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: That gets you out of bed. You got to include that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You have to.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. I like it. If it's going
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: to be a pet, you're going to have to put
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: some of the bad stuff in there, too.
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: It's not.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: How many people are going to sign up for this
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to walk the robot dog?
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: A ton because they already closed. I'm just scrolling through this.
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: They already closed the position. They're not looking for any
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: more applicants. Apparently, all they had to do was say
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: $ 20 an hour to walk the robo dogs. I'll tell you,
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: you'll look pretty. Well, I don't know. Do you think
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: you'll look cool walking a robo dog? I like a
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: good imposing dog. There's nothing scarier than a robot dog.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: If it's one of those military models, for sure.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, just having that on site. No one's messing with
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: you then, dude. I mean, no one's asking to pet
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: it either, but no one's messing with you.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Not at all.
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: They do say they might bring it back in the future.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: How many people remember the movie Chomps? Chomps. Chomps.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: I don't remember.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: It was an acronym, C-H-O-M-P-S. It was one of those
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Disney films. I think it was a Disney film from
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: my youth.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And it was about a robot dog.
• 9:38
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: But Chomps looked a lot more like a dog.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: Exactly. Back when we were kids, the idea of the
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: future was going to be all the robots would be
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: cute and friendly, and we just didn't know we were
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: going to go to the Terminator side. That was our mistake.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Well, depending on the movies that you watched, you might
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: know that. Possibly.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: All right, look, we're going to take a break. We're
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: back after this.
• 9:59

• 11:00
  Speaker 17: I'm running for state Senate. The motto of my campaign
• 11:03
  Speaker 17: is it's time for change, and here's why. Billionaires want
• 11:06
  Speaker 17: data centers, and they don't want to pay taxes. And
• 11:08
  Speaker 17: what do we have to swallow? Higher electricity, lower land values,
• 11:12
  Speaker 17: more pollution. They've rammed vouchers down our throats. And what
• 11:15
  Speaker 17: do we have to swallow? Less and less funding for
• 11:17
  Speaker 17: the public schools. Flock cameras and mass surveillance are being
• 11:20
  Speaker 17: forced upon us. Billionaires want our water. What do you
• 11:22
  Speaker 17: think's going to happen there? It is time for us
• 11:24
  Speaker 17: to stand up and decide it's time for a change.

• 12:37
  Speaker 8: was his favorite as a kid, and he had it
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: on a beta tape.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: Will was explaining this to me.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chomps stood for Canine Home Protection System.
• 12:47
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It had some stars in it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: Seriously. Because, again, of course that's going to be a
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: winner back in the 80s as far as it goes.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And it was a Hanna-Barbera thing. It was their only
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: live-action film.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: So it didn't go particularly well based on that, I'm guessing.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought it went well. Valerie Bertinelli
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: was in it. Conrad Bain. Red Buttons. Jim Backus.
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a pretty good reel.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Conrad Bain. I mean, it was that and the different strokes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: That was his claim to fame there.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: That was his jam. Did you see the list of
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: passive-aggressive email phrases?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I did see this.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: All right, because I wanted to ask you, how much
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: thought do you give to your email etiquette?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I try to give thought to, but I will use
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: some of these phrases on occasion.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: Do you intend to be passive-aggressive when you use these?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: No, I intend to be aggressive. Openly aggressive. That's the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: other thing. Frequently, I will use, please advise is on
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the list. I receive an email of something that I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: thought was handled, and it may or may not have been.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Please advise.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: Well, see, that's on the list of most stressful workplace
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: email phrases. Like, there's some that make everyone, like, panic.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's intended.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: Please advise is on there circling back per my last email.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: The two that are interesting to me, they're top of
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: the stressful one, are can we chat?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't ever want that one.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: Is it just because you think you're going to like
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: because I again in radio, usually if you get asked
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: for an in-person meeting, there's a there's a larger than
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: I'd say larger than zero, but larger than 30 percent
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: chance that you will be escorted out of the building.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: It's just it just tends to go that way. So
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: I can see that. But in other jobs like, dude,
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: they just want to talk.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: But if you've had past experiences, and you get that,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want, can we talk in the workplace?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: You don't want, can we talk in the relationship either?
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: Fair, fair, fair, fair. You're bringing up a good point.
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: All right, so here are the more passive-aggressive ones. Friendly reminder.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: 21% of people said that's passive-aggressive.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that could just be a friendly reminder.
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: It could be.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: People are too sensitive.
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: Some of these are just things that you... The things
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: that people say, y'all. I get that you might take
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: it one way, and.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That's the challenge.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: With all written communication is texting, email.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Slack, whatever. Yeah, you can't put the body language, the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: vocal inflection in.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: You can't just say, hey, just remember we're doing this thing.
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: You have to come up with something to type, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: one of those things might be friendly reminder. But 21%
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: of people say passive-aggressive. Just checking in, 22% of people say.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: Passive aggressive, don't do it. What if you're... Hey, just
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: wanted to touch... This is also great if you... Because
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: everyone's busy. If you want to, again, just alert your
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: boss to the fact that, hey, just did this, did
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: some stuff today, just in case, you know... Sometimes it's
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: good for your boss to forget you. Sometimes it's not,
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: but just checking in.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Or a customer or any other communication. Or a customer, yeah. Hey,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: just checking in, making sure we're still on track. That's
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: not necessarily a passive-aggressive thing, but it could be.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: I'm sure you could make it passive. Going forward, 24%
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: of people say it's passive-aggressive.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I would claim that's more aggressive.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, going forward, don't do it again.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: Don't do it again. Not sure if you saw this.
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: 30% of people say that's passive aggressive. Any updates on this?
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: Where they send the old email?
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: Any updates on this? If you haven't done anything about it, again,
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: you might feel bad.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Quit being a slacker.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: If you haven't done anything to fix the problem they
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: originally sent you, they're just asking you to do the
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: thing that you're getting paid to do, right?
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: Like, that's not passive aggressive. That's just work. There's a difference.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: How about this one?
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: I hope.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And this one's not on the list, but it's from
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: my own life experience because my mother was, I mean,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the quintessential Southern woman, right? And she loved to write
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: notes and letters. So we had an issue with our
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: wedding reception where the reception hall AC went out, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: this is middle of July, and it was very hot.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: They weren't going to refund any of the money. For
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: no AC? For the place, for no AC.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: That's kind of messed up.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I don't like that. So my mother wrote a lovely
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: flowing letter. Oh, Lord. And she closed it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And this is the phrase here, and I want your
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: opinion on this. She closed it with, I'm certain you
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: will do the right thing.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: Oh, that cuts you to the bone if it's from
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: a mom.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I'm certain you will do the right thing.
• 17:38
  Speaker 19: Ooh.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: She was good at that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: Again, I can't hate on that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: No, but where does that fall?
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: I'm going to start using it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: We're going to find out. Please, feel free.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: I'm certain you'll do the right thing.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I'm certain you'll do the right thing.
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: Bob texts in, sometimes medical providers give you friendly reminders
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: like five or six times before your appointment because they're
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: afraid you're going to miss it. I get tired of
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: getting them all the time. Some texts, some emails, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: occasionally a phone call. And that can be passive aggressive.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: But again, they have to remind you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Right, you've taken money off the table.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: They can't sell your spot again. Like, I get that. Like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: that's kind of the way it goes. It's hard for
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: me to diagnose, again, if all of these are as
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: passive aggressive as they say they are. Kindly note, for
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: future reference also on there.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Look, sometimes you need to chastise people and you don't
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: want to use the language that's in your head. So
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you use some of these phrases.
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: These make it better.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: This is gentle.
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's not what the person wants to be throwing
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: at you.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: No.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: Just to be clear was one of the big ones.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: What you want to say is get your head out
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of your posterior and get back to work, you lazy slacker.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I'm certain you'll do the right thing.
• 18:58

  Speaker 7: recording in 1936. He remained a popular performer throughout the 50s,

  Speaker 7: was inducted into the Conjuncto Music Hall of Fame in 1982.

  Speaker 23: In the race for governor, it's chaos versus common sense. First,
• 22:49
  Speaker 23: the chaos brought to you by Gina Hinojosa. She supports
• 22:52
  Speaker 23: open border policies so anyone can just walk in illegally.
• 22:56
  Speaker 23: And once they do, Hinojosa would allow them to vote
• 22:59
  Speaker 23: and get taxpayer funded health care. Gina Hinojosa favors a
• 23:03
  Speaker 23: state income tax and voted 40 times for higher property taxes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 23: And Hinojosa would threaten your safety because she supports defunding
• 23:10
  Speaker 23: the police and letting violent criminals out of jail.
• 23:14
  Speaker 24: But don't worry, because Governor Greg Abbott leads with common sense.
• 23:18
  Speaker 24: Abbott secured the border and cracked down on the deadly
• 23:21
  Speaker 24: drug cartels.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: He banned a state income tax.
• 23:24
  Speaker 24: So you keep more of your money and Texas remains
• 23:26
  Speaker 24: number one in job creations. And Governor Abbott keeps you
• 23:30
  Speaker 24: safe by fully funding the police and keeping violent criminals
• 23:33
  Speaker 24: locked up.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: That's the choice, Texas.
• 23:35
  Speaker 24: The chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common
• 23:39
  Speaker 24: sense leadership of Governor Greg Abbott.

  Speaker 9: I think so.

  Speaker 26: Man, I miss playing football.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: Ever since I turned 40, I just can't find that
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: fire I used to have.
• 25:34
  Speaker 25: Think it could be lower testosterone?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 25:35
  Speaker 25: I was feeling the same way. After 40, the body
• 25:37
  Speaker 25: has less testosterone, and men lose their edge. That's why
• 25:40
  Speaker 25: I take Nugenics Total T2. That's the testosterone booster, right? Yes,
• 25:43
  Speaker 25: but Total T2 is their brand new formula that skyrockets
• 25:45
  Speaker 25: nitric oxide levels in as little as three hours. Since

  Speaker 8: How are you? We're good. So we are talking about
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: Trunk or Treat so Kids Can Eat. Yes.
• 36:16
  Speaker 30: So this is our ninth annual Trunk or Treat so
• 36:18
  Speaker 30: Kids Can Eat. We are partnering with Bryan High School
• 36:22
  Speaker 30: and All Benefits, the Brazos Valley Food Bank.
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: Okay. So obviously I'm going to take the cues from
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: the name that we've got ourselves a Trunk or Treat.
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: Uh, is this going to be, and I, is this Halloween?
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: Is this actually going to be on Halloween?
• 36:37
  Speaker 31: Yes.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: You drew a good date for it. Not bad. So
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: how does this work?
• 36:43
  Speaker 30: So the event is from 10 to one at Bryan
• 36:45
  Speaker 30: high school parking lot. Um, a mission is I can
• 36:48
  Speaker 30: goods per person.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's it. That's it. Okay.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I like, I like simple things.
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: I like simple things. And I also like, uh, I
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: like a large amount of Halloween events, and here's why.
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: And I like the timing of this, too. So for
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: this one, you go to the Bryan High School parking lot,
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: So if you're following this, this is one that is
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: not going to conflict with other plans that you might
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: have on Halloween, right? So you get a kid a costume,
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: and you genuinely, I would think, because life is expensive,
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: you want them to get a few reps in.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to get some miles on it.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and so if you have a couple of trick-or-treat
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: events stacked up or trunk-or-treat events... and then you do
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: the neighborhood thing on halloween night works out really.
• 37:42

• 44:07
  Speaker 8: I swear, coach, I had it in my sights. It
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: just vanished.
• 44:10
  Speaker 21: And what about you, Morgan? You threw the ball to
• 44:12
  Speaker 21: the other team. What's going on, son?
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, coach.
• 44:16
  Speaker 28: It's like I can't see the field clearly anymore.
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: Everything's a blur.

  Speaker 12: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 45:02
  Speaker 12: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 45:06
  Speaker 12: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 45:12
  Speaker 12: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 45:16
  Speaker 12: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 45:19
  Speaker 12: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.

• 45:39

• 45:44
  Speaker 8: goes away. We'll get another 20% chance of rain tomorrow
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: and the early afternoon. That goes away. But, yeah, muggy,
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: and this is kind of the tale of the tape
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: until we get a cold front. early next week. Weather
• 45:55

  Speaker 8: them a call, 268-ROOF, or go to unitedroofingpros.com. Four-day work
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: week is a pretty commonly kicked around thing. What's your
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: understanding of how a four-day work.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Week works, Will? That it wouldn't apply to us.
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: Well, it would absolutely never apply to us. But for
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: a regular office, my understanding of it is that when
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: we have the discussion, we're saying, Normally, you work eight
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: hours a day, right? You work 10 hours a day, right?
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: You attack an hour to the beginning on or two
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: hours to the beginning, one hour to whatever. You just
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: make it a 10-hour day. You do that four times.
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: You get to 40 hours. And then you get a
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: three-day weekend every weekend. And some companies have been doing it.
• 46:41
  Speaker 8: Some people swear by it. Some people are like, you
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: know i don't know.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I think if it would have worked it uh it
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: probably would have caught on already because there's some advantages
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: yeah my company would not have to say pay to
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: have electricity being used at the rate you would with
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: a full office if you were there a day less.
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: A janitor for a day that no one's there right
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of things that might make so.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: If it made sense for the company i would think
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: that they would have embraced that a long time ago.
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: And and some have most to my knowledge, haven't. But,
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: you know, again, this is this depending on your particular
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: line of work. Maybe it's different in some aspects. But
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: this is the first time I've heard this idea. And
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: this is a bill that is opening the door to
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: a different kind of four day work week, a four
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: day work week where you don't actually add any of
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: the hours from the fifth day. You just turn a
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: 40-hour work week into a 32-hour work week.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: What in the France are these people thinking?
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: That's exactly what in the France. That's exactly what they
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: are thinking. It comes from Bernie Sanders, by the way.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: Not a surprise. Now, this is where it gets interesting.
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: When a new survey asked adults, okay, so let's say
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: we did this, what would you be willing to give up?
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: 41% of people said, okay, I'll take less money for that.
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: If you give me less work, I will take less money.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, who is signing up for taking less money.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Period, right now?
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: Are you insane?
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Nobody.
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: I mean, I would actually, this is where I'm getting
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: hung up, I think, is I would get saying, hey, look,
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: I accomplish everything I need to do in four days.
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: If I, you know, I stay fifth day, but, you know,
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: it's like there's a lot of downtime. I can optimize
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: my day Monday through Thursday for 32 hours, get the
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: exact same amount of work. If not more done, you
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: make the exact same money, boss, off of me. Therefore,
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: I will do this in four days, and I will
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: take the fifth day off, and you are not going
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: to give me a pay cut. I would get that.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I would understand that as well. Unfortunately, that person is
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the exception rather than the rule.
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: That's not how it ever is going to work out.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Because most of us are sitting around there just looking
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: at the clock, twiddling our thumbs.
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: You're just going to do it one day less.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. And maybe it's just because I'm
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: old and set in my ways. I don't like it.
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'd love to have a three day weekend.
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: I just, and this is where I, I would have
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: to hear from people that do this and we might
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: circle back around to this.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: There's people who do shift work and stuff like that,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: you know, that have that sort of schedule.
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: But in a traditional setting, like I did five days
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: and now I do four. Do you actually feel like
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: you accomplished the same amount of stuff in four days
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: that you do in five? Cause I, I, You know,
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: it just again, I think there are people that can
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: do that. But the average person is just not going
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: to going to do that.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 49:48
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: But anyway, we'll see how there's apparently bills that that
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: they're trying to put this into. And we'll see how
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: far it goes. I'm guessing, again, not very.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: If they pass this and they have it past the
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: getting rid of daylight savings time, the time change. I'm
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: going to lose my mind.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: Speaking of doing a marginally decent job, a truck driver
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: in Philly woke up to people stealing 3,000 pounds of
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: crab legs from the truck he was sleeping in. He
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: was a delivery driver, and he was taking a nap,
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: and they were trying to steal 3,000 pounds. That number
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: is important, 3,000 pounds. Here he is talking about it.
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: I thought my truck was shaking, so I had to
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: get dressed up and.
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: walked out without shoes.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: And other guys said they were taking the merchandise out.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: And then I told them, hey, stop.
• 50:34
  Speaker 31: That's enough.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: I don't want to lose my job. And then I
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: find out real quick I was in the wrong place.
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: One guy said, we'll pay you. And then all of
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: a sudden I said, uh-uh. Then one guy's charging on me.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: So I had to run from that corner.
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: It's kind of a little hard to understand, but as
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: you said, like you see the truck start shaking. And
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: he was like, okay, I need to go check this out.
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: And all of a sudden, you know, there were 3,000
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: pounds of.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Crab legs Do you believe this man's story? I do Really?
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I do Really?
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah. $ 3, 000. That screams old school Mafioso fell.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Off the truck. Oh, absolutely it does.
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: And, you know, you would have had to have been
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: in on it.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: But if you go back to all the Mafia films,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: what do they do with that guy?
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: They slide him an envelope.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Well, they beat him up a little so it doesn't
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: look like.
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: That's right. Yeah, you've got to dot his I.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: You've got to rough him up a little bit.
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: Because no one's going to buy Boston.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Nobody's going to buy that.
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you've got to take a couple of swings.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: I take a couple of lessons from this.
• 51:29
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: If you're sleeping in your semi-truck.
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Don't get naked. Because he said he had to get
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: on his clothes. He ran out there without shoes.
• 51:38
  Speaker 30: Exactly.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: No, you got to be ready.
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: You got to be ready for action. You got to
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: be ready to go, homie.
• 51:41
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: You got to be ready to get out there and
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: do something.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And number two, if you're going to confront people
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: who are bold enough.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: To steal 3,000 pounds. So again, not only are they
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: stealing stuff out of your truck, they have an operation.
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: That's like a conveyor belt. Maybe a forklift involved. Yeah,
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: you would have heavy machinery to steal this crap. So
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: you got to be aware of that. Number three- We
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: know it wasn't Jameis Winston. Sorry to revert back to that, Jameis.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: Isn't he gainfully employed now? Will, some people don't steal
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: because they need to. Some people steal because it gets
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: some cheap crab. Jameis Winston was just fine financially when
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: he decided to bust out of a Publix with like
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: several pounds of king crab. I know. It was pre-NIL.
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: Trust me on this. The man was being paid quite
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: well at that time.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: But I don't think that you can get excused because
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: he's currently playing for the New York Giants. I don't
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: think you can get excused on that one. Hey, coach,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to skip practice tomorrow because I've got to
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: go steal some crab legs.
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: Who was in Philly? The Philly was not playing at home,
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: and they certainly weren't playing. The Giants were there.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: That would be the question.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 53:02
  Speaker 8: That's a first man.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I just think James, I think James has grown up
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: since then as well.
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: He was a college kid.
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: You know, what college kid hasn't, what millionaire five-star athlete
• 53:15
  Speaker 8: hasn't walked in through a Publix and been like, you know,
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: I could buy some crab or, or I would just
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: say he's thinking like a regular rich person because I,
• 53:26
  Speaker 8: you know, that's how the rich stay rich, my man.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I guess. i i'm not certain of that but i'm
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: gonna say it wasn't him plus plus plus he's got
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: a hardball as a coach now and you don't want
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: that oh lord.
• 53:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah that's i mean uh i i feel like i
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: i feel like james has definitely used up all his
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: strikes he has and i think he's well aware he's
• 53:47
  Speaker 8: a model citizen and he is he has turned into
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: honestly james winston if you told me that guy was
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: would turn into honestly the most likable humans in the NFL.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: And he is.
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: He is.
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: He is one of the most likable, maybe the most
• 53:59
  Speaker 8: likable athletes on the planet. Never would have seen that.
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: No.
• 54:03
  Speaker 8: Never would have seen that coming. Johnny Manziel could take
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: some tips from old James.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 54:08
  Speaker 8: You know, just little things, little things you can do.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Again. What do you know? Hey, I'll tell you what
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: you know. Jack-o'-lanterns.
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: I forgot.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Originated in Ireland. But instead of pumpkins, they used to
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: be carved out of turnips, potatoes, and large beets.
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: That's right. Any gourd will do.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Any gourd will do. Just a little Halloween nugget for you.
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: I would say if you are looking to make your
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: front porch festive, maybe take it back to that.
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I want to see a carved beet.
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: I want to see it. I want to see. I
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: feel like a carved turnip would be creepy as all
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: get out.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Turnips are scary anyway.
• 54:47
  Speaker 8: My thought there. But anyway, have a great weekend.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Go Nost.
