  Speaker 1: Green energy may not be as good for the Earth
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: as some claim.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: A newly released study found that wind turbines and solar
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: panels need much more land to get the same output
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: as fossil fuels, and that land gets trashed.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Solar is seven to eight times more land, and wind
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: is 25 times more land per unit of energy.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: With the group LifePowered says there are also huge piles
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of unwanted wind turbine parts which cannot be recycled. There
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: has been a push in Austin to require green energy
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: companies to have a cleanup fund, and that's expected to

  Speaker 2: come back up for debate this upcoming session.

  Speaker 8: of 70s, mid-70s.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: How's the rain looking?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Still kind of, I mean, it's breaking apart as it's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: moving into town. Imagine that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: We ain't getting anything.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to get some drizzle. Yeah, you'll get

• 5:25
  Speaker 8: Will has mentioned just moments ago on the show that
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: Bryan College Station or just College Station.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I will put it just College Station. We're one community.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: Is a hotbed for elite arm wrestling.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Look, I've spent a lot of time here. Yeah. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: during that time, I've learned a lot about this community.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. Per capita, I think we have
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to be And it should go on the signs outside
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of town. The arm wrestling capital of the world.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: That's not possible. We would know about this.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: We'd know that there's a champion or champions. How would
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: we be the capital in the world?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Again, it was something I did not know until last night.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And I was out there at the grand opening of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the new volunteer fire station there, South Brazos. And I
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: learned about one person who I'll mention here in a second. Okay.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But in researching that person, I discovered two others. Okay. Apparently,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: there is Javier Aldape. Okay. College Station Arm Wrestler, medaled
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: at the IFA National Arm Wrestling Championships, competed internationally alongside
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: his mentor, who we will get to in a second. Okay.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: So that's Javier Aldape.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: Javier Aldape, a medalist.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Medalist. There is AJ Adamek.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: AJ Adamant.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Animal science senior at A & M, founder of the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Aggie Arm Wrestling Club.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: The Aggie Arm Wrestling Club.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: He won the 21 and under left-handed world championships in
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: his division at the IFA World Arm Wrestling Championships in Japan,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: apparently fairly recently.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: Get out.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Defeating Columbia's Ladar Alvarez. Holy moly. He also got a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: second place finish in the right-handed division.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: So he's ambidextrous.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: He is ambidextrous. And then the fellow I met last night.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: All right. Timothy Popeye.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's okay. That's a bad sign.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Timothy Popeye.
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: That's a bad sign. If you're an arm wrestler and
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: your nickname is Popeye.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Multiple time world champion. What? Claimed numerous international and national titles,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: including multiple IFA senior grandmaster world championships and and over
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a dozen national titles. And he serves as a mentor
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to other local competitors.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: What on earth? And he's just a college station boy?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Just a guy. Just a guy that walked up there and,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you know, looking like, I mean, just like a dude. Well,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: he was wearing a sleeveless, like a cut-off sleeves t-shirt.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Was he yoked?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He had some, he had some art. He wasn't like ripped, right?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: He looked country strong is what he looked.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: That's the thing is you never know. They're not bodybuilders.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: No, he's not a big dude.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: These guys are deceptively strong.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I was fascinated in meeting him. And of course,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and then I had to go do some further research.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid maybe, however, that I got off on the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: wrong foot with him.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: Oh, Will, did you ask him to arm wrestle you?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: No, I did not. No, thank God. The thought did
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: cross my mind.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: No, that's a horrible idea.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't do that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: Horrible idea.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: What I did ask him was how many times he
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: watched Over the Top. Which, of course, if you don't know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: is the Sylvester Stallone arm wrestling movie.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: Was he in over the top?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He said he was almost. Son of a gun. He
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: took that question seriously. I was like, hey, do you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: get yourself hyped up watching some Sly Stallone? No, no.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: He was like, I was almost in that movie.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: By the way, you can go to Instagram.com slash Aggie
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: Arm Wrestling to check out the club. Yeah, they look
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: like they're serious about their work. They don't look like
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: they play around. And like you mentioned, country strong is
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: a good way to put these gentlemen.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: Guys, I don't know what to say.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: You asked me if I had thought about challenging him
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to an arm wrestling. And I did, but then I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: thought I did not need to appear today with a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: torn bicep.
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: He would have ripped your arm clean off.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I did, however. I was like, now if anybody wants
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to take on some thumb wrestling, I'm down. I'm down.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: You got to start somewhere, y'all.
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: Your grocery bill's up. Your power bill's up. Now they
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: just voted to raise your property taxes, too. Howard Main

• 10:15
  Speaker 8: You know, while you've been sitting there, fretting with the
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: rest of us. And by fretting, I mean like curled
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: up in the fetal position in the corner, thinking about
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: an election. You have probably forgotten that Christmas is right
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: around the corner.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: You're coming off one and you're going right into the other.
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: So what you getting for the people on your list?
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you the easiest way to deal with Christmas
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: if you're shopping for someone very special is to just
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: go into David Gardner's Because David Gardner's Jewelers, they can
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: find the perfect gift for him, they can find the
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: perfect gift for her, and they can do it without
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: a lot of guessing and a lot of hassle. Whether
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: it's the watch he's always been dreaming of, or maybe
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: some David Yerman, because guys like jewelry too. Or if
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: it's the perfect custom piece for her, David Gardner's can
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: take care of you in time for the holidays, which,
• 11:10

  Speaker 1: Here's Brad Beard of Intercon.
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: I was in a store and heard a child tell
• 11:24
  Speaker 11: her mother, this one must be better because it costs more.
• 11:26
  Speaker 11: What a naive concept. Do adults sometimes fall into a
• 11:29
  Speaker 11: similar trap? Recently, I've had customers tell me they have
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: received a competitor's bid, which was five to 10 times
• 11:34
  Speaker 11: as expensive as Intercon's quote for new windows. Are they
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: really getting the right value proposition? Fortunately, Energy Star certification
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: provides a set of uniform metrics to quickly compare the
• 11:44
  Speaker 11: thermal efficiency of windows. Windows have three basic components, frame material,
• 11:48
  Speaker 11: insulated glass, and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: and are costs associated with a warranty claim? Finally, the
• 11:54
  Speaker 11: experience of the installers can make a huge difference in
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: the final product. Do they install windows for a living
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: or are they subcontracted for the day? Intercon sells ENERGY
• 12:02
  Speaker 11: STAR certified windows with industry-leading warranties installed by our own
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: full-time employees. Why pay more if you can get everything
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: you need at a fair price from a locally owned business?

• 14:11
  Speaker 8: I would expect he has a championship ring. He's a
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: world champion.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, his name's Popeye.
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: His name's Popeye. Like, if you're an arm wrestler and your.
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: Name is Popeye, that's about as serious as it gets, man.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: That's high, high, high praise.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: I dread bringing this up, Will, because this has already
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: been kind of a touchy subject for you. When I
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: say the term liberty-biberty... What comes to mind?
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Okay, here we go.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: In the burnout of commercials, right, in the pantheon of that,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you have the, what's up? You've got things like that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: This one reached its burn level a long, long time ago.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: Usually, and I think this is an interesting subject to broach. 9, 7, 9, 6, 9, 5, 16, 20.
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: What is the most overhyped commercial? Like the commercial that
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: you hate the most?
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Because it's been.
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: Branded of all time. Because I was never a fan
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: of the Wasap guys. I just thought that was obnoxious.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: But there were so many others.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Hump Day. Hump Day was good. They brought that one
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: back recently. Where's the beef?
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: It's been 40 years, so I could see that one
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: coming back a little bit. But yeah, Liberty Bibberty seems
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: to be one that has universally hit a nerve, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure why.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Because it's a... Number one, it's an insurance commercial.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It's not exciting from the get-go.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: It doesn't have a lot going for it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Although I will say that between that and the Allstate
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: mayhem and the turning into your parents, insurance commercial's not
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: so bad.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: Turning into your parents... It's a good one. Mayhem has
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: been going on for years and years.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: It has been. Obviously, Flo.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: How did we go down this road?
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: Where is the insurance company that's going to come out
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: and be like, hey, we just do insurance.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: That's just, yeah, I don't do.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: We don't need emus.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: I'm not going to create a fuzzy little mascot and
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: name it Liberty Bibbity because of a blown line in
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: one of our commercials like five years ago.
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: And then proceed to shove it down everyone's throats. Every
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: single athletic event that pops up.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Apparently people in Boston had enough, you know, home of
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the Tea Party, by the way. So they know how
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to protest things.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: I saw this.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So in Liberty Mutual's headquarters is there.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So they showed up. A 19 year old organizer showed
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: up and they protested demanding that. Liberty Bibbity be dumped.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: Would you like to hear? This is audio from the protest.
• 16:57
  Speaker 13: That was a bad idea.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: That is a not zero amount of teens.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Well, and here's the crazy thing about this. Originally, it
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: was intended as a joke. It was just like, this
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: will be funny. We'll just lob this out there. And
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: then everybody showed up.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: Because we're all sick of the liberty.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: Will had forgotten about this commercial, and he comes in.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: You come in, you tell me. It got stuck.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: You thought about it for a second. It got stuck
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in my head. I had to listen to some North
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Mississippi All-Stars before the show to cleanse the mental palate.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: Michael asks, are you really talking about the most overplayed commercials?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Today. Today.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Yes, I am, but we're... Point, yeah. That was not
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: exactly the point. Can confirm. Chase, 877-CASH-NOW.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: That would be who?
• 17:51
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 17:52
  Speaker 16: Who?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: You don't know. All I can say is... It didn't work. Yeah. J.G.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: Whitworth, 877-CASH-NOW.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I was still stuck because you played the parody yesterday.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: For the candy corn thing.
• 18:06
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Corns for kids. Cars for kids. Man. K-A-R-S.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: Jared says, can we show some love to the Cheez-It
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: commercial that we've seen the last five years, every sporting season?
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: You're talking about the.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: The maturation.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: I woke up feeling the cheesiest, coach. Oh. I don't
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: know why.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: They just now, this season, started doing new Cheez-It commercials,
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: and I have no idea why they didn't do this
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: sooner because, yeah, it was getting... Painfully old. Michael says
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: to remember that it was the Geico commercials that started
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: this entire insurance insanity.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: The Geico lizard.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: Stupid lizard to get there.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: But yeah, you're right.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: After Geico went down that rabbit hole, everyone had to
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: come up with a gimmick. Then the gimmicks had gimmicks
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: and the gimmicks had spinoffs. And now we're at Liberty Bibberty.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The absolute bottom, the lowest common denominator.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: We have hit.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: We have hit rock bottom. I say that, but we're
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: all going to smash right through.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It and go find something else.
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: Oh, I'm sure.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: We'll settle new low. We're America.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: Kyle says, the worst commercial has always been and still is.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: I am stuck on.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Band-Aid brand because Band-Aid stuck on me.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I put these in a different category. I mean, yes,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: they are commercials, but these are jingles, right? You can
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: take the Band-Aid. You can take the Oscar Mayer, right?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: All those are jingles, and they're in their own horrible category.
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: I would love to see some jingles come back because
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: jingles take talent seriously.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily. I mean, I came up with one that
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: got stuck in everybody's head. head using AI, and that
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: took three traffic lights.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: Think about it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Like, with.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: We know that this jingle, which I am going to play,
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: because why wouldn't I?
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: I mean, come on.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Start your day with freedom and pride.
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: As Will mentioned, about 45 seconds.
• 20:08
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: It'll get stuck in your head. Why aren't all of
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: you doing this? Why aren't the politicians doing this?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, political jingles would be great.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: Can you imagine the opportunity?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That was probably a thing back in the day.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, it was.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: Pappy passed the biscuit, so Daniel was a big fan
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: of the music integrating into politics. But wouldn't it at
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: least be more tolerable if all of you guys had a.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: And it doesn't take a lot.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: It does not.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: It's effective.
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: It's sticky.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: It's an earworm.
• 20:41
  Speaker 18: Yep.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: All I'm saying is there's easier ways... to do this than.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: What we're working on. Matt offers us the Nestea Plunge.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I cannot tell you how many times I fell backwards
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: into the pool at Bee Creek Park before it was
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: even called Adamson Lagoon taking the Nestea Plunge.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, very refreshing. And a fantastic reference. Eric says,
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: what about the Can You Hear Me Now guy from
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: Verizon who then i guess decided he wanted to make
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: a comeback at some point.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: He switched teams yeah he went he went they fired
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: him verizon fired him and he went to like t-mobile
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: uh yeah they did and i think t-mobile actually that
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't a bad thing for them as far.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: As marketing ryan also agrees hey look all these uh
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: like jg wentworth those jingle commercials yeah like will said
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: they're pretty bad they live rent free and you said
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: and the other.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: The other separate category that i'm going to put out is,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you have the jingles category, the traditional commercials category.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: It has been mentioned by an anonymous listener here. Oh, okay.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Any medicine commercial with the side effects afterwards. Again, I'm
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: going to put that in a different category.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: That's a different category because at this point with medicine,
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: you get enough time to say the name and then
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: show someone smiling and then you're going into the, you
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: are going into the pile of injury and death.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: It will take another 45 seconds for them to be explained.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: But yes, I also agree this 100% needs to be
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: its own catalog. First text in, a lot of people
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: love to hate on the Dr.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: Pepper commercials.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Fansville, I love them. Fansville has been through kind of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: an emotional rollercoaster.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: I like where they're headed with Fansville.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: At first it was good, and then it wasn't, and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: now it's kind of come back. Oh, wait a minute, Greg.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: What do you got, Greg?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Yo quiero Taco Bell.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, the Taco Bell Chihuahua.
• 22:36
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: How can we really talk about liberty-biberty when the Taco
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: Bell Chihuahua lasted at least a decade and a half?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, are we really at an all-time low, or
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: are we just at a perceived all-time low? Is it
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: like gas prices? They've been higher, but right now we
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: don't feel like they've been higher. But the sting hurts
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: so much right now.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Something to contemplate. Back right after this.
• 23:01

• 24:41
  Speaker 21: On this Tuesday, I'm thinking about the disturbing situation in
• 24:45
  Speaker 21: France and some other European countries. France is broke because
• 24:50
  Speaker 21: it pays entitlements to almost everybody.
• 24:52
  Speaker 19: Free stuff.
• 24:54
  Speaker 21: In addition, pensions are extravagant, the work week short, eight
• 24:58
  Speaker 21: weeks vacation per year. And for all of that, many
• 25:03
  Speaker 21: French people and millions of Muslim immigrants want more from Paris,
• 25:09
  Speaker 21: and they'll burn their country down to get it. We
• 25:13
  Speaker 21: are marching down the same road here in America, and
• 25:16
  Speaker 21: it's shocking. The far left has amassed major power by
• 25:20
  Speaker 21: taking over the Democratic Party. JFK, LBJ, and Jimmy Carter
• 25:25
  Speaker 21: would all be stunned. My question is why are millions
• 25:30
  Speaker 21: of Americans buying into El Sayed, Telerico, and other far-left loons.
• 25:36
  Speaker 21: Why is that happening? Well, once Americans get used to handouts,
• 25:42
  Speaker 21: they'll demand more. And with few immigration restraints under the Democrats,
• 25:49
  Speaker 21: the American dollar will eventually collapse when we cannot pay
• 25:53
  Speaker 21: our massive debts. Now, we owe $ 40 trillion. That's what's
• 26:01
  Speaker 21: happening in Europe. Their debts can't be paid, and the
• 26:05
  Speaker 21: economy cannot support the giveaways. From the sidelines, Bernie Sanders
• 26:10
  Speaker 21: and his ilk cheer. Communism is back, and it doesn't
• 26:14
  Speaker 21: take Paul Revere's midnight ride.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: To define it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 21: Just look around.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Back in a moment.

  Speaker 3: There's been a lot of talk about Texas Avenue medians,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: so I checked the record. In 21, Bobby voted for

• 27:09
  Speaker 3: In 22, he went further, making the motion to approve
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: an agenda containing another agreement for the Texas Avenue Raised
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Median Project. Those are the votes.
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: That's the record.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: If voters approve the median initiative this November, I'll work
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: with TxDOT to remove medians where we can. I'm Rafael Pena,

• 28:53
  Speaker 1: It's abusive.
• 28:54
  Speaker 23: He didn't just say it. He has voted for it
• 28:57
  Speaker 23: to be classified as abuse. And that means they can
• 29:00
  Speaker 23: call CPS on you if you don't transition your kids.
• 29:03

  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: man is facing several charges after pointing a gun at
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: another driver during a road rage incident in broad daylight.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: College Station Police say 21-year-old Peyton Groeschel of Katy aimed
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the firearm in the direction of the other motorist while
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: on Highway 6 around 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The complainant
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: said Groeschel was driving aggressively and admitted making a hand
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: gesture towards him. That's when Groeschel allegedly opened the truck's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: rear window and pointed a black object at him. Police
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: conducted a felony traffic stop on Highway 6 northbound near
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Harvey Mitchell Parkway and found a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 9mm
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: short-barreled rifle in the back seat. A passenger in Groeschel's
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: vehicle says the driver cut them off and repeatedly slammed
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: on his brakes, but denies the firearm was displayed. Upon
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: further search of the vehicle, officers uncovered a marijuana grinder
• 30:41

  Speaker 26: Hi, I'm Peyton Holt. I'm running for College Station City Council,
• 34:51
  Speaker 26: Place 5. I'm a College Station attorney, small business owner,
• 34:55
  Speaker 26: and Pebble Creek resident. My career in business and real
• 34:57
  Speaker 26: estate law has taught me the importance of planning, accountability,
• 35:01
  Speaker 26: and getting things done. My first priority is simple. Public
• 35:04
  Speaker 26: safety comes first. I'm proud to be endorsed by the
• 35:07
  Speaker 26: College Station Police Officers Association and the College Station Firefighters Association.
• 35:12
  Speaker 26: As our city grows, we need intentional, disciplined leadership. That
• 35:16
  Speaker 26: means fixing roads, easing traffic, planning ahead for water drainage
• 35:20
  Speaker 26: and infrastructure. It means responsible budgets, holding the line on taxes,
• 35:24
  Speaker 26: demanding transparency for every taxpayer dollar, supporting local businesses, creating opportunities,
• 35:30
  Speaker 26: and cutting unnecessary red tape. Let's protect what makes College
• 35:34
  Speaker 26: Station special while building a stronger future for our families
• 35:37
  Speaker 26: and businesses. I'm Peyton Holt, City Council Place 5, for

  Speaker 3: There's been a lot of talk about Texas Avenue medians,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: so I checked the record. In 21, Bobby voted for

  Speaker 3: Resolution 3950, a $ 2 million raised median improvement along Texas Avenue.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: In 22, he went further, making the motion to approve
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: an agenda containing another agreement for the Texas Avenue Raised
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Median Project. Those are the votes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 12: That's the record.

• 37:23
  Speaker 8: It's election day and polls are open. Just a reminder,
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: we'll obviously be doing election coverage tonight.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: I will be at the Brazos Center.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Am I allowed to live stream this or should I
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: just not?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: You cannot. Election coverage. Yeah, you could. Not voting. Yeah, yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: But if I'm sitting there, look, no one wants to
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: see my hot takes.
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: But we will have all the latest results.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: We'll have the latest updates on the radio, online, social,

  Speaker 8: right around 6, 7 o'clock. I mean, when it's time
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: to follow along, we're all going to be doing the
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: same thing tonight.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: We know.
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: Remember, weather today is going to be a little bit breezy,
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: a little bit cooler. I don't know if we've passed
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: the rain threshold yet, but I'm going to.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I kind of gave up looking at the radar.
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, don't hold out any hope. Just know it's going
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: to get cooler tonight down to the 50s.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe. Low 50s. Now, don't... Some slight stuff. Yeah. Some
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: slight stuff coming through. No. Maybe.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: That'll be over soon. Weather is brought to you by
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: our friends at Malik. Be prepared for your next power
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: outage as Malik serves company in a whole home backup

• 38:34
  Speaker 8: Let him give you something to take your mind off
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: of the election, something that you can try.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: Cold showers.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Cold showers.
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: Freezing cold showers. You ever heard of this strategy?
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard of it as a strategy. Now, when
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: in my ute at summer camp, the senior side of
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the camp did not have hot water. Right. So I
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: had to take a cold shower daily. However, that was
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the Texas Hill Country strategy. In July. Yeah. And so, yeah,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a bad thing.
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: Not as awful as it could be. It's been years
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: now of people trying to sell me. And I don't know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: maybe it's just me. Maybe this is some kind of
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: a big prank. But I have been, I've just, everyone
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: I meet in life seems to be trying to sell
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: me over the last several years of the benefits of
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: cold plunges and cold showers.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the cold plunge thing. I don't necessarily understand. it's
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: made up it's not for me.
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: It's made up this is propaganda there's a there's no
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: way that benefits you at all other than just like.
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: Yes, you will feel more alive because.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: You just shocked your body.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: If I punch you in the face, you'll probably get
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: some adrenaline from that too. It doesn't mean you want
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: to get punched in the face every morning. Good Lord.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Probably not. I've jumped into some cold waters before knowing
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: it was cold waters, but a daily cold plunge.
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the thing. I had a doctor literally tell me, hey,
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: this will change your life. Like, if you start taking
• 40:12
  Speaker 8: cold showers every morning, get up and force yourself to
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: do it, it will change your entire life.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: I was like, yes, it will. It will make it worse.
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: And I'm not trying to do that.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I'm more apt to take a cold shower in the
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: evening than I am in the morning.
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: Now, if I woke up at 4, what if we tried?
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: I mean, if we tried this, get up early in
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: the morning, I'm sure I wouldn't need caffeine anymore for
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: the first hour.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's temporary.
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: And then it would wear off. And I'd be right
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: back to where I'm going. But now they're saying it
• 40:37
  Speaker 8: can help you avoid getting the flu.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's a new study out. They did 12
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: weeks of cold showers. They reported 26% fewer sick days,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: 31% fewer days off of work. Okay, the showers lasted
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: 30 seconds to several minutes. However, the scientific method on
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: this isn't necessarily great.
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: This is what happens. What you get is you get
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: kind of like CrossFit bros. They find a way to
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: make a study to show you, hey, now you need
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: to be on the cold plunge.
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: Well, what they did was– I guarantee you these guys
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: all take cold plunges.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: They asked. They said, would you be willing to participate
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: in the study? And then they said, okay, would you
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: be willing to be the– Cold shower or the control group. Yeah.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: So the people essentially volunteered to take the cold shower.
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: I'm going to guess the people who are the cold
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: shower people are also the type that work out a lot.
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: They were very, very conscious about their diet because they're crazy.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: They're crazy.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: They're CrossFitters.
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: They're CrossFitters, bro.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: They're CrossFitters.
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: I mean that with love in my heart.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe a cyclist.
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: I just have no idea why. Speaking of things I
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: have no idea why, Starbucks has a plan. They are
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: looking to use recognition technology, which I guess every company is.
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: I mean, not facial recognition necessarily, but we've talked about this.
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: We've talked about the fact that you walk.
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: Into a store and you don't know if AI is
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: going to change the prices on you anymore.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: That's a problem. The CEO says.
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: They want to recognize participating customers when they arrive at
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: Starbucks and present personalized digital menus.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Now, if I walk into any shop... And suddenly there's
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: something electronic saying, hey, Will, welcome in. Yeah, don't like it.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Turn it around, walk in right out.
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: That's the thing. That's the thing. You took something that
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: was nice and then you made it super creepy.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: You took something that was nice because we all want that.
• 42:40
  Speaker 20: Sometimes.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: But clearly, I want to go where everybody, not every AI.
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: If a barista says, hey, Tucker, good to see you.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Here's your drink.
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: Just shoot that straight into my veins. I love that.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't even need the caffeine or the cold shower.
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: No, I don't. But I, but yeah, I don't want to,
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: I don't want a computer. As soon as a computer
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: does it, guys, it gets super weird.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Very weird.
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: It's super weird. You know what the barista's not going
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: to do?
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: I presume sell my info to someone the second I
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: walk out the door.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Probably not.
• 43:17
  Speaker 11: Probably not.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: They get arrested for that.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: It's not unheard of, but. Well, still.
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: Anyway, be on the lookout for that coming soon. We've
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: got to take a break. We'll be back right after this.
• 43:26
  Speaker 27: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
• 43:28
  Speaker 27: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs
• 43:32
  Speaker 27: of Childs Dermatology for bringing the Focus on the Family

• 44:08
  Speaker 27: A lot of people believe perfection is how you get
• 44:10
  Speaker 27: someone to like you. We can't actually be perfect, of course,
• 44:14
  Speaker 27: but from job resumes to social media, we highlight our
• 44:18
  Speaker 27: strengths and downplay our weaknesses. The more polished and put
• 44:22
  Speaker 27: together we look, the more attractive we'll seem to other people.
• 44:26
  Speaker 27: In reality, the opposite is true. A psychologist in the
• 44:30
  Speaker 27: 1960s named Elliot Aronson led a study that examined how
• 44:34
  Speaker 27: perfection impacts our relationships. He concluded that our mistakes actually make.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Us more likable.
• 44:40
  Speaker 27: That's because perfection pushes people away. Instead of seeming warm
• 44:45
  Speaker 27: and approachable, we seem cold and intimidating. Mistakes, on the
• 44:49
  Speaker 27: other hand, make us more human, which opens the door
• 44:52
  Speaker 27: for relationship and deeper connection. I'm certainly not the guy
• 44:56
  Speaker 27: to tell anyone how to reach perfection, but I know this.
• 44:59
  Speaker 27: Acting like we're perfectly put together isn't the way to
• 45:03
  Speaker 27: build a good life. Authenticity is. And for authenticity... We
• 45:07
  Speaker 27: have to allow ourselves to be human with each other.
• 45:11
  Speaker 27: Perfection may impress people from a distance, but authenticity, it's
• 45:15
  Speaker 27: what brings two souls together, up close and personal. And
• 45:19
  Speaker 27: I'm not suggesting that we advertise our dirty laundry to
• 45:22
  Speaker 27: the world, but it's okay to laugh at ourselves to
• 45:25
  Speaker 27: show that we're human and to be real. Perfection may
• 45:28
  Speaker 27: attract attention, but authenticity attracts people. For more to help

  Speaker 8: here's a little known secret.

  Speaker 1: This is true.
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: November is actually the most important month of the.
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: Year for your lawn. Why, you ask?
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: Because what you do right now directly determines how thick
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: and green your grass is going to look when spring
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: rolls around.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: Seriously, it takes prep work.
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: Months of intense Texas heat dries everything out. It leaves
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: the soil compacted and starved of oxygen. That's why it's
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: time for a little core aeration and composting. These are
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: vital right now. Aeration opens up root pathways while top
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: dressing with nutrient-rich compost feeds and insulates your turf all
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: winter long. So it stays and rebounds strong and vibrant.
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: So to set up your yard for success, best way

  Speaker 30: on Saturday afternoon. Head coach Mike Elko spoke about everything
• 50:10
  Speaker 30: the team has been doing to prepare for the upcoming
• 50:12
  Speaker 30: game after coming off a bye week.
• 50:14
  Speaker 20: Obviously tried to take advantage of the bye week last week,
• 50:16
  Speaker 20: get out on the grass Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and obviously
• 50:20
  Speaker 20: a lot to get better at, a lot to work on,
• 50:22
  Speaker 20: and so was impressed by the kids' attitude and willingness
• 50:25
  Speaker 20: to go out there and compete and bring good energy
• 50:28
  Speaker 20: and then kind of cut them loose for the weekend
• 50:30
  Speaker 20: a little bit to kind of get away and unplug
• 50:32
  Speaker 20: and then back at it today with a huge challenge
• 50:35
  Speaker 20: in front of us going to South Carolina, a team
• 50:37
  Speaker 20: that's really, really hot right now, playing really good football
• 50:40
  Speaker 20: and certainly have our hands full Saturday.
• 50:42
  Speaker 30: Kickoff for the game is set for 2 o'clock. Aggie
• 50:45
  Speaker 30: women's basketball Kaylin Gilbert registered the most points in an

• 50:52
  Speaker 30: inside Reed Arena. To lead the team past UAPB 77-54
• 50:57
  Speaker 30: on opening night. Gilbert shot 11 of 20 from the
• 51:01
  Speaker 30: field and grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out 6 assists.
• 51:05
  Speaker 30: And the outing was Gilbert's 5th career double-double. Head coach
• 51:09
  Speaker 30: Joni Taylor spoke about Gilbert's performance.
• 51:12
  Speaker 31: I would like to tell you yes, but no. We
• 51:15
  Speaker 31: see that every day in practice. She has the ability
• 51:18
  Speaker 31: to score any way she wants to. And our challenge
• 51:21
  Speaker 31: for her is, while she's doing that, is to also
• 51:25
  Speaker 31: run our team, run offense, defensively turn it up a notch.
• 51:28
  Speaker 31: That's why she came here. She wants to be a pro.
• 51:31
  Speaker 31: And she was really, really good tonight, but she's got
• 51:34
  Speaker 31: more in her. And so... in all aspects of the game.
• 51:38
  Speaker 31: And I know that sounds really picky because when you
• 51:40
  Speaker 31: look at her stats, she had a great, I mean,
• 51:41
  Speaker 31: she had 11 rebounds.
• 51:42
  Speaker 24: Six assists.
• 51:43
  Speaker 31: And so it's like, come on, Joni. But she's got more.
• 51:46
  Speaker 31: And so we're going to hold her to the standard
• 51:49
  Speaker 31: that she acts for. Excited about what she did tonight
• 51:52
  Speaker 31: and excited to see how she continues to grow.
• 51:55
