• 0:33
  Speaker 1: have no information that any of the offenses under investigation
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: are related to his former employment at the school. The
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: investigation began after the sheriff's office received a cyber tip
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: from Snapchat regarding videos potentially containing child pornography. Deputies in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the sheriff's special investigative unit have been working the case
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and gathering additional information. Gonzalez now facing charges for continuous

  Speaker 1: 2900 block of Wildflower Drive. A caller reported seeing four
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: individuals in dark clothing and face masks breaking into a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: vehicle early Wednesday. They fled on foot. Officers found all
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: four suspects on Briarcrest near Walmart. The suspects ran but
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: were apprehended in a wooded area nearby. They were booked
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: into the Brazos County Juvenile Detention Center. on charges of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: burglary of a motor vehicle and engaging in organized criminal activity.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: The city of Bryan announced it will rigorously enforce the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: laws on bounce houses at city-owned venues. The Texas Department
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of Insurance requires bounce house vendors certify the units and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: carry liability insurance of at least $ 1 million. It's not
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a new law, but the city will now require an
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: inspection certificate and insurance documentation. Regardless of gathering size and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: regardless of the organization's reserving facilities, including schools, churches, businesses,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and community groups. Suppliers must be in compliance. Brian Parks
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and Rec says they can provide assistance in selecting a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: compliant vendor. Texas Land Commissioner Don Buckingham announced that the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Texas General Land Office is partnering with Texas A &
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: M University and the Texas Farm Bureau. Through the partnership,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the land office will work with ag organizations like A
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: & M and Farm Bureau to provide next-generation farmers with
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: hands-on training, mentorship from experienced producers, and a pathway towards
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: farming or ranching. Buckingham says food security is national security,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and that security starts with making sure we have the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: people and the land needed to produce the food our
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: families depend on. The College Station City Council meets tonight
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: on the agenda as a presentation on a safe passing ordinance.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: A safe passing ordinance would require that motor vehicles maintain
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a minimum distance when passing vulnerable road users like bicyclists, pedestrians,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and motorcyclists. aimed at enhancing safety for users and hoping
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to reduce the risk of collisions. They'll review potential changes
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in Northgate that would limit building height. Items up for
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: consent include over $ 8 million in spending. More than $ 5. 5
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: million of that is for a contract for a power line.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: They'll also decide on parking restrictions along Big River Street,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the multiplex community along Harvey Mitchell south of Southwood. More
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: news on the way at 6.30 or anytime at WTAW.com.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. For the record.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And we will bring this up later in the show,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Will could not roll his eyes any harder.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think I pulled an eye muscle.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: A safe. I thought, y'all, I thought Woke was dead.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Are we done? We aren't done with safe spaces yet?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is here with this
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: safe space ordinance on the roads.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Will is so mad.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Why don't we tell the cyclists and scooter people to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: stay three feet away from us in cars rather than
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: us in cars trying to stay three feet away from them?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And by the way, how are we supposed to get
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: out of the way when there's a dang median?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We're going to have to save this energy.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Save this energy.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Save, save, save. Let's dial it back and talk about
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the weather, which is deliciously boring. 90 for your high today.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I've been around 70 tonight. Feels great outside right now.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Sunny skies. You know the drill. Know the beautiful one yesterday.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Know the beautiful one today. Weather's brought to you by
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Malik's Service Company. The Texas heat air conditioner works overtime,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: but a well-tuned AC will save you money. and keep
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you comfortable. Turn to the experts at Malik Carrier to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: keep your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: here I was thinking the bounce house thing was going
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to be the most interesting story of the morning.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: That one's interesting as well, but that one I think
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: actually is good.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Because you do need to have insurance.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be fooled, you guys, into thinking that these bounce...
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: A bounce house is not always.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: A good idea at a gathering. Like, it's just not. Like,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and you do have to think to yourself, like, is
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: something bad going to happen potentially?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You can't think that way all the time because otherwise
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you'd never even get out of bed. Right?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: All I'm saying is, Trampolines are the same way. The
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: great thing about a bounce house is it's typically an
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: enclosed structure, so you're not going to go fly it off.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Some do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But you're right. You never know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I've seen people slide clean through those inflatable water slide
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: bounce house things and land on the turf or whatever
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it's on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Seriously.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: They're almost a surefire. I would say as a person
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: who operates an Airbnb, If they're bringing a bounce house,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you know they cannot rent. Yeah. That should be a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: surefire sign. If a bounce house is showing up, you
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: do not need to have it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I've had that twice, and I think I've come to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the realization I should have after the first time that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: no more of that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Did I see that you were having ring dunks at
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the Casa?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will allow people to have ring dunks, typically
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: only if it's like a family sort of thing. It's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: not a group of kids getting together.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, to swill beer.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Isn't that, isn't that crazy that you have to, that,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that there are like, Hey, as long as it's a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: respectable event where people are going to drink a, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: a full gallon of beer and like less than a minute,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: only then will I allow it. But no one outside
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of Bryan college station understands.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: No, there are good.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: There are classy ring dunks. And then there are, uh,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: there are the others, the others.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I don't really know how to say it. I never, I,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: When I realized, so I had younger cousins that came
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: through A & M. Yeah. And when they came through
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: A & M, the ring dunks were becoming a family thing.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And not just if you had parents that were at
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: A & M or anything like that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: You invite the whole class.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Parents would come to the chicken. And that was back
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: when the bars would let you do ring dunks and bars.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: They're not doing that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Guys, that was a magical time, by the way. But
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: but yeah, now it's not the case. But I think
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it's actually gotten more. So I've been invited to many
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: ring dunks for, you know, because rain still works day
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and them and. Occasionally they have undergrads that work for them.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And so, hey, we're having a ring dunk and you'll go.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It's like a baby shower. Very much like you've got
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: mom and dad and aunts and uncles and hors d'oeuvres
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and all this other stuff. And then they hand a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: kid a pitcher of beer and they just and they
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: just bottoms up it as fast as they possibly can.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: There's usually vomiting after. All that's still there, but it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: a classy affair.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Very classy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's so bizarre. Like, try explaining that to anyone outside
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of town.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I wonder what the invitation looks like. Grandma and Grandpa,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you are invited to Little Susie's Ring Dunk as we celebrate.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Please come and enjoy. Bring your own mops.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You have to bring your poncho and everything. I have
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: seen that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I have seen people use ponchos in that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: It is because I, you know, growing up, it was, yeah, we,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: we don't, we don't just go to the chicken. Like
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: when all my, when my, the, the friends that I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: had that graduated with or, Remember when I was growing
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: up in town that went to A & M? Yeah,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I went to a heck of a lot of ring dunks.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Those were not the same ring dunks that I see.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: No, now they're set up for social media. They'll have
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: platforms or small stages.

  Speaker 2: been flattening for a day and then retch for a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: solid three minutes and there's a photo op. The photo
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: ops are the best. Only in Aggieland. Is that something that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: If someone comes in from Nebraska, you tell them that

• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Guys, I'm serious. Just like I told Will, just hold
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: your horses. I cannot get into a conversation about the...
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: The whole cyclist versus cars versus scooters versus cars and
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the halo for this College Station City Council just yet.
• 12:17

• 12:25
  Speaker 2: From looking at the text window, I don't think there's
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: going to have to be a whole lot of collection
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: in general. I think people are going to have some
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: real opinions about this.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Although others will question our methodology on our survey that
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: we're doing here. But that's all right.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: For entertainment purposes only, gang.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's right.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: It's key to remember.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Let's talk your reasons to celebrate October the 8th, 2026.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And we're going to start off with a big one, Will.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Fluffernutter Day. Fluffernutter Day. I know you were excited about
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this one, too.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not excited about it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: One of the most beloved sandwiches in New England, by
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the way. I've never known who came up with this.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Because I never had one growing up. And you always wonder,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: who eats these things? If you're not familiar with a fluffernutter,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: it's white bread, peanut butter, and then marshmallow goo on top.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: And it's a sandwich.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: That just made me throw up in my mouth a little.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: It's a sandwich. It started appearing in my teeth.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's not a sandwich. That's an abomination.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So here's the interesting things about this day as I
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: was reading up on it. Number one, Massachusetts has had debates,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: actual debates, about making the Fluffernutter the state sandwich.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Well, at least they would be unique because nobody else
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: is going to fight you for that one.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Boston, Massachusetts. I think it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: a lovely town and honestly very underrated. when it comes
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to the food scene, incredible food. And a lot of
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: this has to do with the town. You can't, you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: can't look in any direction and not hit a world-class
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Italian sandwich shop anywhere in the Boston area. I mean, it's,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: it's just the best sandwiches you've ever had. And they
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: want the fluffer nutter as their King sandwich.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Doesn't add up to now. Philadelphia will laugh at you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Furthermore, 2006, there was a public controversy as the state
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: realized this might not be the best thing to be
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: serving in school cafeterias as lunch.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Probably they were serving that in school cafeterias as lunch.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: This was an official lunch item.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I would revolt against the cafeteria ladies.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Like square pizza in New England. It was fluffernutters. They
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: would give kids two slices of bread Peanut butter and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: just way too much marshmallow paste. A slather. And say,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: here you go, son. That's your lunch for today. Can
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: you imagine?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: The poor teachers after lunch when their children are bouncing
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: off the walls due to the sugar intake.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Why would you do this to them? But people were
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: so hot over this. You've got to keep the fluffernutter
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: in schools. The fluffernutter is... This is our state identity.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: This is why we should never let people make the decisions.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Horrendous. That, yeah, absolutely, absolutely disgusting. What else do we
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: have going on today? It's American Tag Day. Celebrating the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: classic childhood game of tag. somehow sometimes called touch tag
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: or you're it wait we all know tag yeah used
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to be one of the do they still play tag
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: in schools i'm.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Not sure it may have been outlawed because somebody was
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: left out or uh somebody got hurt when they tripped.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Fell over yeah that's the problem it used to be
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: like if we can make recess great again maybe we
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: could put some effort into that bring back tag bring
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: back red.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Rover bring back dodgeball Bring.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Back, well, I'm in favor of that, but if that's
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: too much for you, you could do four square. Remember
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: four square?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I was a master at four square.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Four square was a great game.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was real good at the four square. I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: could put some English on the ball, man.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Make it skip sideways. Exactly, yeah, that was the thing. Yeah,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the whole spin, that's what we need to do. You
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: want schools to improve real quick, you've got to start
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: making recess an actual activity as opposed to whatever it
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: is now, if it even still exists.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: It does exist, definitely. And we're just getting past those
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: days where at least the teachers I'm familiar with can
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: be a little bit more excited about going outside and
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: not melting while they're monitoring the children.
• 16:37
  Speaker 15: That's right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Once it turns into a nice day, everyone gets a
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: little bit happier. National Salmon Day food source and an
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: ecologically important fish for man. And the bears.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I love some good smoked salmon. I do, too. I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: don't like cooked salmon. I don't like the salmon croquets.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It actually gets in one of those... It is one
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: of those foods that gets worse when you cook it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: By the way, now, if you really love salmon, you
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: can actually get your salmon screen printed.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw this story yesterday.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: This is deceptive, by the way.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I saw the picture, by the way.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: It's not really screen printing as much as it's this big...
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: machine full of pink goo and they just kind of
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: drizzle it around until it looks like a salmon filet
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that's all.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: It is it's disgusting looking i don't know why based
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: it's it's a plant-based.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Soy salmon it's just it's the i might have to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: share the article but it's maybe the worst idea ever
• 17:36

  Speaker 2: I'd have some real issues with that.

  Speaker 1: Bruno Mars, he's done all right for himself, 41 years old.

• 18:31
  Speaker 2: was in debt like $ 100 million to the MGM group
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: in Vegas. He's a horrible gambler, and that's why he
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: had to play so many of these Vegas dates. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's true. But I like to believe
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that it's true.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Because that sounds like.
• 18:45

  Speaker 1: Real World Road Rules Challenge.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: He actually got his start on the actual, literal real world.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I remember this because I watched that season. Did you
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: ever watch the real world?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I did the first couple of seasons, and then it
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: got stupid.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it was kind of the birth of... reality TV, uh,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you know, seven strangers in a house and people stop
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: being polite and start getting real. I mean, there's 10
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: million shows that are based on that, that model. Now
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: throw a bunch of crazy people in a room and
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: watch what happens. I remember watching the season that Ms
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: was on and he was a train wreck. He was the,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: he was, he was the obnoxious heel in that season.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: And he was obsessed with being a wrestler. He was
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: obsessed with becoming a WWE wrestlers. Like, man, that's kind of,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: kind of dig that. It's interesting. And sure enough, no
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: one really credits him in the wrestling community. For being
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: as good as he is. He has been a professional
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: wrestler for probably about 30 years.
• 20:03
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: He's still in great shape. He's entertaining. He plays one
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: of the best bad guys that you can find in
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the business. And he just kind of flies under the radar.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I bet he doesn't care as long as the checks cash, right?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: No, he doesn't. And people used to find him like, oh,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: why is Miz still around?
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: He is.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: One day when he retires, he might be one of
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: the top ten greatest working wrestlers of all time. And
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: it all started on the stupid real world. Hey, the
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: kids live in his dream, right? He had a goal
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: and he got there. I absolutely love to see it.
• 20:38

  Speaker 14: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 26:38
  Speaker 14: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 26:42
  Speaker 14: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 26:48
  Speaker 14: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 27:03
  Speaker 14: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 27:06
  Speaker 14: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: the people. That means judges should be accountable, rules should
• 27:13
  Speaker 14: be clear, and the system should be accessible to those
• 27:16
  Speaker 14: who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: than a principle. It means a court system Texans can understand, trust,
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: and afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Clear rules. Accountable courts.
• 27:29
  Speaker 14: Equal justice under law.

  Speaker 1: of child pornography, is facing new charges. The Brazos County
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday that the former custodian at College
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Station ISD's Greens Prairie Elementary is now facing charges of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: continuous sexual abuse of a child, victim under 14, which
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: is a first-degree felony. Officials have not released the age
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: of the child associated with the new charge. The investigation
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: began after the Sheriff's Office received a cyber tip from
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Snapchat regarding videos potentially containing child pornography. Deputies in the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: sheriff's special investigative unit have been working the case and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: gathering additional information. As a result, Gonzalez is now facing
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a new charge of continuous sexual abuse of a young
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: child in addition to two counts of possession with intent
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to promote child pornography and a drug charge. Investigators have
• 28:48

  Speaker 24: High-yield turf and ornamental weed and grass stopper containing Dimension.
• 44:00
  Speaker 24: See the label for full directions. So we're talking about
• 44:04
  Speaker 24: facts that can change the way you garden. Number one,
• 44:06
  Speaker 24: your landscape and garden will only be as good as
• 44:09
  Speaker 24: the soil you prepare for them. It's like the foundation
• 44:12
  Speaker 24: of your house. If you don't do it right up front,
• 44:15
  Speaker 24: you're going to have problems forever more afterwards. So work
• 44:18
  Speaker 24: a lot of organic matter into that soil. It needs
• 44:20
  Speaker 24: to have some peat moss and compost, rotted manure, and
• 44:24
  Speaker 24: I like shredded pine bark mulch. I mix some of
• 44:27
  Speaker 24: all of those, maybe as much as five or six inches,
• 44:30
  Speaker 24: if I'm preparing a garden soil for flowers or vegetables.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I also would.
• 44:34
  Speaker 24: Recommend if you have a clay soil using expanded shale.
• 44:38
  Speaker 24: You need to forget whether a plant is native or not.
• 44:40
  Speaker 24: That really doesn't say much. It may be native over
• 44:43
  Speaker 24: there two miles from your house but it may not
• 44:45
  Speaker 24: be adapted at your house because soils can change dramatically
• 44:49
  Speaker 24: in the state of Texas and they certainly change when
• 44:52
  Speaker 24: you go from one side of the state to another.
• 44:54
  Speaker 24: The fact that something is native to Beaumont or Amarillo
• 44:58
  Speaker 24: doesn't guarantee that it will grow in Amarillo or Beaumont
• 45:00
  Speaker 24: or you get the message. You'll have the best results
• 45:04
  Speaker 24: with quality plants from a quality source. I always encourage
• 45:07
  Speaker 24: you to buy from a reputable full-time nursery source. Some
• 45:11
  Speaker 24: place where you can go if you have problems. Some
• 45:13
  Speaker 24: place where you can go for really professional nursery advice.
• 45:17
  Speaker 24: The best problem preventer is often a good fertilizer.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: That is a fact.
• 45:22
  Speaker 24: If you will take good care of your plants, water
• 45:24
  Speaker 24: them properly and fertilize them properly. Usually with a high
• 45:28
  Speaker 24: nitrogen or even an all nitrogen fertilizer if you're in
• 45:32
  Speaker 24: a clay soil. And that nitrogen needs to be at
• 45:34
  Speaker 24: least half or more of it in slow release form.
• 45:38
  Speaker 24: That way you'll keep your plants healthy and vigorous. Mulches
• 45:41
  Speaker 24: are some of the hardest working tools in the garden.
• 45:44
  Speaker 24: That's a true fact. Mulches perform many miraculous feats. They
• 45:47
  Speaker 24: reduce the soil to air contact, reducing evaporation. They retard
• 45:51
  Speaker 24: development of weeds. They reduce splashing, they moderate soil temperature fluctuations,
• 45:57
  Speaker 24: and they look good.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: How about all that?
• 46:00
  Speaker 24: The best gardeners can predict problems they're likely to encounter.
• 46:02
  Speaker 24: And the way you do that is to pay attention
• 46:04
  Speaker 24: to what happens and when it happens. And that way
• 46:07
  Speaker 24: you'll know to mark it down so that next year
• 46:10
  Speaker 24: you can watch for the same problem. You do not
• 46:13
  Speaker 24: need to fear the use of pest control products, organic
• 46:16
  Speaker 24: or inorganic. They've been thoroughly tested. The label will tell
• 46:20
  Speaker 24: you what they're able to do. And that is a
• 46:22
  Speaker 24: critical issue. And finally, most pruning is done improperly or
• 46:26
  Speaker 24: isn't needed at all. You always want to prune with
• 46:29
  Speaker 24: a purpose. Don't ever top a tree. Don't ever top
• 46:32
  Speaker 24: a crepe myrtle, for example. I'm Neal Sperry. Wintertime houseplant
• 46:35
  Speaker 24: woes will be the subject of our next Plant Talk Texas.
• 46:38
  Speaker 24: Until then, happy gardening.

• 48:27
  Speaker 27: on 1620-945-WTAW. The 12th ranked Aggie volleyball team fell in
• 48:33
  Speaker 27: a five-set battle to Oklahoma last night in their first
• 48:36
  Speaker 27: SEC conference road game of the season. Outside hitter Kendall

• 48:44
  Speaker 27: and White also recorded seven aces in the game, tied
• 48:47
  Speaker 27: for their second-highest total this season. Up next, the Ags
• 48:51
  Speaker 27: stay on the road traveling to Arkansas to take on

  Speaker 27: the Razorbacks on Sunday afternoon with first serve set for noon.
• 48:57
  Speaker 27: The A & M soccer team gets back on the
• 48:59
  Speaker 27: road tomorrow traveling to MSU Soccer Complex for their next
• 49:03
  Speaker 27: conference road game contest against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The
• 49:07
  Speaker 27: Aggies own a 10-4 edge in the all-time series with
• 49:11
  Speaker 27: all 14 meetings coming since the Aggies joined the SEC
• 49:14
  Speaker 27: prior to the 2012 season. First kick for tomorrow night's
• 49:18
  Speaker 27: game is set for 7 o'clock. The Aggies softball team
• 49:21
  Speaker 27: continues its fall exhibition schedule with the matchup against the
• 49:25
  Speaker 27: Temple College Leopards tomorrow night with first pitch at Davis
• 49:28
  Speaker 27: Diamond scheduled at 530. Yesterday, the SEC League office announced
• 49:33
  Speaker 27: that Texas A & M men's golfer Wheaton Ennis was
• 49:35
  Speaker 27: named the SEC Golfer of the Week after winning his
• 49:39
  Speaker 27: first individual collegiate title at the Fighting Irish Classic on Monday. Yesterday,
• 49:44
  Speaker 27: the SEC and ESPN teamed up to announce the 2026-27
• 49:47
  Speaker 27: men's basketball tip times and TV destinations. With the Aggies
• 49:53
  Speaker 27: being slated to play 10 games on various ESPN channels,

• 50:05
  Speaker 27: coach Bucky McMillan shared thoughts on this year's team's chemistry
• 50:09
  Speaker 27: and the differences between this year's team and last year's.
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: I think we're way further ahead. You know, Ryland couldn't
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: go on the deal this summer, neither was Pope. But
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: Ryland's played here, Pope's been to SEC. But everybody else
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: has played some type of game together down there in
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: the Bahamas. I think they know what I value. And
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: so I don't think it'll be like a three or
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: four game deal to understand like, hey, I got to
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: do this.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to play.
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: Finishing around the rim, like we were not good around
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: the rim at all last year. Like with our, particularly
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: with our guard, we can finish and attack the basket.
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: Like our guys can get to the paint. Last year,
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: I mentioned this wasn't here last time.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: It's just like to.
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: Score last year, it felt like we had to like drive,
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: kick eight times to three more one mores with somebody
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: like perfectly ready to catch it and shoot it. You
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: know what I'm saying?
• 50:55
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 50:55
  Speaker 7: Which was how they had to play, and they bought
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: into that. But, like, we didn't have enough guys that
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: go racket. Like, we have some guys that can get
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: to the line and racket. And then defensively around the basket, like,
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: things are more of a challenge. Like, you don't have
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: to pitch a perfect game.
• 51:08
  Speaker 27: The Aggies' first exhibition game of the season is set
• 51:10
  Speaker 27: for October 25th at Moody Coliseum in Dallas, Texas, with
• 51:14
