  Speaker 2: receiving individualized education programs.

• 1:21
  Speaker 3: by firing squad and the sentence would be carried out
• 1:24

• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to be public. The Pentagon says it'll be live streamed.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: They have not announced details about a website. This will
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: be the first U.S. military execution by firing squad since
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: World War II and the first public execution in the U.S.
• 1:43

  Speaker 1: Four Houston police officers are transferred after misidentifying a bomb
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: at an airport. The officers were on duty at Bush
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Intercontinental Airport on September 11th. A custodian alerted them to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a device he found cleaning a restroom. A four-inch red-colored
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: cardboard tube with paper stuffed in both ends and a fuse.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It was, in fact, a bomb. Larry Wainsley is the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: former head of global security for American Airlines.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: They made an assumption, which is something that you should
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: never do.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Assumed that it was.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Merely a firecracker and then proceeded in a very, very
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: casual way.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Officers took it out into a crowded terminal. Bomb technicians
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: described the device as, quote, violently energetic. Wainsley says the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: officer should have immediately secured and cleared the area. A
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: new Texas law that slaps restrictions on college protest is
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: being tested at a federal appeals court.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: The Campus Protection Act prohibits expressive activity on campus from
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: 10 at night until 8 in the morning. It was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: in response to the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests. But opponents say
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: it's so broad that it could ban evening student prayer meetings.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: They have one-on-one morning prayer meetings.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: They have to wait until 8 a.m.
• 3:00

  Speaker 11: Good morning, gang. Infomaniacs, it is Friday. Thank goodness for that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: Weather today, very nice. Getting up to the lower 90s,
• 5:12
  Speaker 11: down to the 60s tonight. And weather is brought to
• 5:14
  Speaker 11: you by our friends at Malik's Service Company, the Texas Heat.
• 5:17
  Speaker 11: Your air conditioner works overtime, but a well-tuned AC will
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: save you money and keep you comfortable. Turn to the
• 5:22
  Speaker 11: experts at Malik to keep your AC running properly. Malik,
• 5:26
  Speaker 11: feel the difference. Everyone always talks about AI, and I
• 5:30
  Speaker 11: feel like we've been leaving out some of the companies
• 5:32
  Speaker 11: we used to yell at, like Facebook and Google and Amazon.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think there's still a lot of people yelling at
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: those folks, too. Probably are.
• 5:41
  Speaker 11: This is hilarious to me. So Amazon, obviously, is where
• 5:46
  Speaker 11: most of us at this point shop for at least something.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 11: It might not be your first choice, but it's in there.
• 5:55
  Speaker 11: And obviously they want to recommend things to you that
• 6:00
  Speaker 11: it wants you to buy.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the algorithm wants to get a hold of you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and start putting things in front of you that you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: could be tempted by.
• 6:07
  Speaker 11: But it's not as simple as just having an algorithm
• 6:09
  Speaker 11: that's trying to guess, right?
• 6:11
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 6:12
  Speaker 11: It helps a lot more if they can make a
• 6:14
  Speaker 11: profile on you. Like the About You profile on Amazon.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: It was completely unfamiliar.
• 6:20
  Speaker 11: So this is.
• 6:20
  Speaker 10: I.
• 6:22
  Speaker 11: Actually appreciate that they did this. Because it's trying to
• 6:26
  Speaker 11: make it transparent what they have on you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 6:31
  Speaker 11: Like, to tell you, this is.
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: our.
• 6:36
  Speaker 11: File on you, Will Welch, or me, Tucker Frito-Young, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 11: all that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love that, too. I think that's the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: way it should be.
• 6:43
  Speaker 11: The problem is, when you go into that file, which, again,
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: shows you the, quote, information they use to personalize your experience.
• 6:53
  Speaker 11: So this is what, hey, here it is, guys. Here's
• 6:56
  Speaker 11: what we, it's odd.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Very odd.
• 7:00
  Speaker 11: So people have been going in and checking it out,
• 7:03
  Speaker 11: and they find basic stuff, which is like where you live, right?
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: Which obviously you give them your address so they can
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: send you. You have a house, an apartment. How many
• 7:13
  Speaker 11: people you live with? You have kids. You have hobbies.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You have pets.
• 7:18
  Speaker 11: You like to garden. Do you have a pool? Do
• 7:22
  Speaker 11: you have a flat butt?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:26
  Speaker 11: Do you have a flat butt?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Yes. There's a lady that found that. In her profile.
• 7:33
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That Amazon had put together for her. She posted the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: screenshot online, by the way.
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: It's great. Right down here. Flat has flat buttocks under
• 7:44
  Speaker 11: product preferences.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: She added, I mean, it ain't wrong, but did you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: have to call me out like that?
• 7:50
  Speaker 11: What's great is after this went, this started circulating around,
• 7:54
  Speaker 11: people start writing articles about it. And again, people who
• 7:57
  Speaker 11: had no idea this was something you could go check out,
• 7:59
  Speaker 11: which is Might be doing in a couple of minutes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 11: Everyone started finding the other weird ones that were in
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: their personal about you section. Like, quote, does not trust
• 8:12
  Speaker 11: people easily.
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: What?
• 8:17
  Speaker 11: Here's another one. Cusses when scared.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You know, if it's right, that's really bad. A depth
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: of scary.
• 8:28
  Speaker 11: You didn't, there's no way someone added that in. How
• 8:34
  Speaker 11: would it have possibly known that?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: How? Along with things like this, cannot keep real plants alive.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Has no friends and is a 50-year-old man.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: Has no friends.
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: Friends is a literal entry in one of the people's
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: about you sections.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And it gets pretty specific, all the way down to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: things like made a one-time specialty cheese exploration. How?
• 9:06
  Speaker 11: Some of it I get because maybe you go down
• 9:08
  Speaker 11: a rabbit hole and it's like, oh, hey, look, he's
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: getting really into cheese all of a sudden. How did
• 9:11
  Speaker 11: you get the not, how did you get the cusses
• 9:15
  Speaker 11: when scared?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: How did you get the has at least 48 years
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of practice using scissors?
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: How on earth treats cats as biological children?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Finds it hilarious when toys get stuck to ceiling tiles
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: in the classroom.
• 9:33
  Speaker 12: I mean, yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: How is it discovering this stuff?
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: I've got a suspicion.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You think it is maybe farming, harvesting a little bit
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: from our social medias?
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: I think it's Alexa.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You think so?
• 9:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah. That's the only thing I can wrap my head around.
• 9:47
  Speaker 11: It's the only thing I can wrap my head around
• 9:50
  Speaker 11: is it being Alexa.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I forgot about the listening device that people have invited
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: into their homes.
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: Because the only thing that can produce audio... that would
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: somehow get tagged for, cusses when scared is if it
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: hears you getting scared. And where would it hear you
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: getting scared? At your house when something happens and you.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It may go beyond Alexa, Tucker. It may go to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: our cell phones, too.
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: I don't think there's a maybe about this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: Are we under.
• 10:19
  Speaker 11: Do we not all just accept this as gospel truth that, yeah,
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: the iPhone is listening to me. Your Android is listening
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: to me. When I go home, if I have an Alexa,
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: the Alexa is listening to me. I get that there's
• 10:31
  Speaker 11: still every once in.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: A while people... Your car.
• 10:34
  Speaker 11: Is listening to you. Your car is absolutely listening to you.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: While tracking where you're going.
• 10:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah. Every once in a while, someone tells you, that's crazy.
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: They have to.
• 10:47
  Speaker 11: There's no other way to explain the things that are
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: in this list. They have to be sitting. Something is
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: in there just pulling information off of live audio all
• 10:58
  Speaker 11: the time and then sending it back to you in commercials.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: There's no way. I think most of us knew this
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: in the back of our minds, and a lot of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: us said, yeah, but I just don't want to think
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: about it. Think about this. Think about maybe 2015, 2016
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to make it even 10 years ago.
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And we were talking about the fact that all of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: our stuff might be listening to us and what a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: horrible thing that was. And people were saying, my, your
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: tinfoil hat looks great.
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: Yes, everyone, everyone always says that. They always did. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 11: still get some of it today.
• 11:29
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what? We were right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 11: I'd like to, I, surely you guys have some examples
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: of this, of when you caught your device listening to
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: a conversation you were having. I don't know if it's,
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: or you suspect you caught your device listening to a conversation.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: There, there have been times when that has happened. We've been,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: there've been times when we've been talking about stuff on
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the show and then it shows up in my algorithms.
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: That's, that's what I want to know because these, I
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: feel like we just need to prove this here. Now, uh,
• 12:02
  Speaker 11: if you have these stories and want to share them
• 12:04
  Speaker 11: with us, please. Nine, seven, nine, six, nine, five, 16,
• 12:06
  Speaker 11: 20 might take a while to type. That's fine. We'll
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: get to them when you send them in. But, There
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: have to be some of you guys who are like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 11: you know what? There's no logical explanation for why this
• 12:16
  Speaker 11: is in my feed.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I told you this the other day. The wife was
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: kind of car shopping.
• 12:21
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And the car that she was looking at, and in fact,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: she built. I turned the TV on right after she
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: did that. Right. And it goes to the homepage, right,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: for all the streaming. The homepage for the TV, essentially.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And right there... the first thing I see is that car. See,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. The one she built.
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: Will, that's what I'm talking about. There's no other excuse
• 12:45
  Speaker 11: for something like that. Like, it has to be actively
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: listening to you when you're having a discussion.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Well, and that was something, she was a website, she
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: was looking at it. Oh, it's even worse.
• 12:53
  Speaker 16: Even worse.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I got the specific information because literally,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it was the car she built.
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: 979-695-1620.
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: Do you have a story of when you suspect your
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: phone or your Alexa or your car was listening to
• 13:09
  Speaker 11: you that you can't explain any other way. Call us,
• 13:13
  Speaker 11: text us, we'll be back after this.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: As a Texan, you deserve your court system to deliver
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: justice that is fair, understandable, and within reach. Chief Justice
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Jimmy Blacklock says that starts with judges applying the law
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: as written, so the rules don't change depending on who
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: walks into the courtroom. But fairness also means a court
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: system that works for the people it serves. Blacklock has
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: called for reducing unnecessary delays and expenses, simplifying court procedures,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: and making legal services more affordable. Because a case should
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: be decided on the facts and the law, not on
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: who can afford the longest fight. Texas courts belong to
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: the people. That means judges should be accountable, rules should
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: be clear, and the system should be accessible to those
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: who rely on it. For Blacklock, equal justice means more
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: than a principle. It means a court system Texans can understand.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Trust and afford to use. Chief Justice Jimmy Blacklock.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Clear rules.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Accountable courts.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Equal justice under law.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Political ad paid for by the Jimmy Blacklock campaign.
• 14:15
  Speaker 17: They say roaches can survive just about anything. At ABC
• 14:18

  Speaker 8: Let's get you rolling.
• 15:16
  Speaker 20: What do we really know about James Tallarico?
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: Tallarico said, Defending trans Texas is something we have to
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: do every day.
• 15:24
  Speaker 20: Tallarico supported using taxpayer dollars for sex change surgeries on
• 15:28
  Speaker 20: young children. Claimed denying your child's gender identity is abusive.
• 15:33
  Speaker 20: Said the trans community needs abortion care too. And even
• 15:36
  Speaker 20: called Jesus a radical feminist. And said God is non-binary.
• 15:41
  Speaker 11: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 15:44
  Speaker 20: But it gets worse. James Tallarico voted to allow biological
• 15:49
  Speaker 20: men access to women's bathrooms in schools and for biological
• 15:52
  Speaker 20: boys to play in girls' sports, saying some things are
• 15:56
  Speaker 20: more important than fair competition in sports.
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: Defending trans Texas is something we have to do every day.
• 16:03

• 16:30
  Speaker 11: to you? Just the story that you can't explain. Again,
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: just because you know when it happens. It's the creepiest thing.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: And.
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: The latest thing is people talking about the fact that
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: Amazon knows if you have a flat butt or treat
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: your cats as biological kids, it makes a really accurate
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: file on you.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Or cuss when you're scared.
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: Or cuss when you're scared, because how would you know
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: that if it wasn't coming from a speaker on your
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: phone or the microphone on your phone or Alexa or anything?
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: There's no other way you would be able to figure
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: that out.
• 17:02
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: It doesn't exist. We're getting these stories are coming in,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and we encourage you to share yours either by telephone.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: or via text at 979-695-1620.
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: Let's get started here. What do we have?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: So Kevin says, I was scrolling TikTok and saw something.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I went to Google to search it, and Google automatically
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: pulled up what I was looking at without even typing
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it into the search bar.
• 17:26
  Speaker 11: Without even typing it, it immediately knew that you wanted
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: to look for this thing. How would it know that?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Jay, I have a 22-year-old truck. The red reflector mounted
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: in the back rear door broke off. I just glued
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it back on. A couple of days later, I got
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a suggestion from Amazon for a replacement reflector. I hadn't
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: searched for one, nor even told anybody about it. You
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: had to tell somebody about it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: You might have been talking to yourself.
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: Okay, moving on. That's crazy. It's so spooky. It's unsettling
• 18:12
  Speaker 11: in every way.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Martha.
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: A friend and I were having coffee and chatting. We
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: started talking about how our moms sewed clothes for us
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: when we were little. And how neither of us knew
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: how to use a sewing machine. As an aside, my
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: husband does all of our sewing. His mom taught him
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: how to sew. Later that day, Amazon sends me a
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: book recommendation called The Sewing Machine. A fictional book about
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: a sewing machine that was owned by several people throughout generation.
• 18:38
  Speaker 11: And it looked interesting.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: Explain that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: It knows you better than you know yourself.
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: Ashley speculates that could it not be? Could it not
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: be related to Amazon reviews? Because people say a lot.
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: People get real mouthy in them Amazon reviews.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's, I agree, Ashley. And I think that
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: it is much more all encompassing than that. It's taking
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: your Amazon reviews, your conversations, your search feeds.
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: And then it uses AI because that's a good use
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: of AI because no one had time for that. You
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: feed it all into it every little bit. And then
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: that's how you get the about you file, which tells
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: you that you have a flat butt, treats cats as
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: biological children. And oh yeah, like to curse when they're scared.
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: That is a it's a keep them coming, guys.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we want to hear more of them because we
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: just like getting creeped out.
• 19:33
  Speaker 12: I do.
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: I like the X. I enjoy the X. And I
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: think everyone does because like these tend to stand out
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: in your mind.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be an outlier on the fact that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: people that I don't enjoy that. It honestly makes me
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: want to go live like Ted Kaczynski.
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: The cabin probably has a way to listen to you
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: too at this point.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: The trees or the birds.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for my paranoia today.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: We'll take a break.
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: We'll talk news coming up.
• 20:01
  Speaker 19: AI, big tech, and online predators are creating new threats
• 20:06
  Speaker 19: for our children every day. As a father, Paul Dyson
• 20:09
  Speaker 19: knows how dangerous these platforms can be. That's why he
• 20:12
  Speaker 19: passed a law stopping big tech and predators from targeting
• 20:16
  Speaker 19: Texas children. And he passed legislation blocking AI from being
• 20:20
  Speaker 19: used as a weapon against our kids. State Representative Paul
• 20:23
  Speaker 19: Dyson is protecting our kids and keeping Texas strong and safe.
• 20:27
  Speaker 19: Political ad paid for by Paul Dyson for Texas.
• 20:31

• 26:45
  Speaker 1: From the WTAW Newsroom, good morning, I'm Will Welch. At
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: last night's College Station City Council meeting, there was discussion
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: on creating a safe passing ordinance.
• 26:57
  Speaker 22: In July, my fiancé, Hannah Rapp, was killed during an
• 27:00
  Speaker 22: incident involving a close pass that escalated to a subsequent
• 27:04
  Speaker 22: road rage incident. My fiancé and I were just riding bikes.
• 27:08
  Speaker 22: We were on a well-known route for cyclists and there
• 27:11
  Speaker 22: was less traffic than usual because that particular road was
• 27:14
  Speaker 22: closed on one end at the time. We were riding
• 27:17
  Speaker 22: single file on the right side of the road, but
• 27:19
  Speaker 22: it didn't matter. She's dead, and I'm left here with
• 27:23
  Speaker 22: what used to be an incredible life with her.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: That was Will Polalis. Hannah's mother, Angie Rapgrimes, also spoke
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to the council.
• 27:31
  Speaker 15: I know no ordinance can bring my daughter back, but
• 27:34
  Speaker 15: maybe it can give another family more birthdays, more holidays,
• 27:38
  Speaker 15: more photographs, and more ordinary days together. That's what I
• 27:42
  Speaker 15: want Hannah's legacy to be. And I would ask the
• 27:45
  Speaker 15: council to consider naming this ordinance in Hannah's honor.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: The man who struck and killed Rapp during her ride
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: along FM 159 has been indicted for murder. On Thursday,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Brazos County Grand Jury handed down the indictment against 31-year-old
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Charles Medina. On July 18th, Medina passed Rapp and her fiancé,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: but then put his car into reverse. and sped towards
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the couple. In addition to the indictment for murder, Medina
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: was also indicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: A man in Bryan was arrested after climbing on top
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: of a garbage truck. Police received a call from the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: driver with the City of Bryan Solid Waste Department who
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was on her route on Providence Avenue a little before 5.30 a.m.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Wednesday morning. The driver reported that a man was yelling
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: that his friend was inside the truck and scaled the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: vehicle to try to open the hatch. 32-year-old Jeffrey Evans
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: then tried to enter the cab. He was arrested for
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: criminal trespass of a vehicle and remains jailed on $ 3, 000 bond.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Police confirmed that no one was inside the dumpster. A
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: man was arrested for DWI after his alcohol concentration registered
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: at 2.5 times the legal limit. College Station Police responded
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to hungry Howies in the 100 block of Southwest Parkway
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: after employees say an intoxicated man was trying to find
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: his car keys and drive away. 46-year-old Scott Hanna was
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: found stumbling with a strong odor of alcohol and a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: can of beer on the roof of his car. Hanna
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: failed a field sobriety test. His breathalyzer test registered concentrations
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: of 0.202 and 0.203. During the arrest, police found a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: THC vape inside his vehicle. Hanna was charged with possession
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: of a controlled substance and DWI with a concentration of 0.15
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: or higher. He was released on $ 13, 000 bond. Before you
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: take or damage a campaign sign that isn't yours, or
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: if a neighbor does it to you, it's a crime.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: A campaign sign is considered tangible personal property. Stealing a
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: sign is considered theft. Damaging a sign is vandalism or
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: criminal mischief. The punishment will vary depending on the total
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: value of the sign or sign stolen. If someone goes
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: on a spree, it's based on the total value of
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: all signs. Penalties start at a fine of up to $ 500,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: but could include jail time when the value exceeds $ 100. Plus,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: entering someone's yard to steal or damage a sign could
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: be considered trespassing. If you live in an HOA, they
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: cannot prohibit residents from having signs in their yard within
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the 90 days before an election or 10 days afterwards.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: HOAs can adopt measures to limit the quantity of signs
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: for a single candidate or cause, the size of the signs,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and the manner in which it is mounted. Two Christian

  Speaker 11: For what it's worth in the Influencers of Kyle Field Saga.
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: I saw Salami.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: He's cool now. Yeah, everything's cool. I think they handled
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that just about it. It went up to a level.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It went up to Trev.
• 34:17
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Allegedly. And then the guy that was dealing with it
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: was just under... Trev. Yeah, they got the heavy hitters
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: involved and they got they took care of it quickly
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and effectively, which is what you should do, which I love.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: And Salami is all happy. So it's all good. It is.
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: It is a good sign when people stop complaining or
• 34:34
  Speaker 11: people are complaining about the anything. It's not the football team,
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: probably related to the fact that we did get a
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: win against Arkansas. Thank God for that.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: Holy cow. And how are we rewarded for this? By
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: playing Missouri, who somehow stomped out Florida last week, which
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: I didn't think was possible.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: And you got to go to Missouri to play them,
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: which means it's going to be a tenuous Saturday in Aggieland.
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: And we'll get to our picks. We'll get to our
• 35:02
  Speaker 11: picks coming up. But before we get to our picks,
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: we do have a tradition on the show. And it
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: is time to fulfill that tradition with another round of
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: Fight Song.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Now, this is confusing because apparently... Missouri has two?
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: I noticed this.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I noticed this. So I don't really know which one
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to go with.
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: Because I don't care about Missouri. Missouri is the most
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: forgettable team in the SEC.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Most forgettable.
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: I don't care if they're good or bad. No one
• 35:32
  Speaker 11: cares about Mizzou. So what do we go with? What
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: I've got here is I've got two. I've got every
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: true Sun... And Fight Tigers. Is it the same song?
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: Is it a different song?
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I think they are different songs.
• 35:47
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: They seem to be, if you look into the iambic
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: pentameter here, they won't fit with the same tune, I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: don't think.
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: Okay. Should I just play the video and then we
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: wing it?
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, play the video and we'll wing it. All right,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: So this is the University of Missouri Fight Song. I
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: believe we're starting with Every True Son. I don't know,
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: but here it is.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Do they have lyrics here on your side? I do
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: have some lyrics.
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: Would you like me to?
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I can read the lyrics. I just
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that if it was every true
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: son that we were right. You're correct.
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: It starts with every true son.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay. That's all right.
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: That's helpful.
• 36:24
  Speaker 17: Okay.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 36:25
  Speaker 11: Here we go.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Every true son. So happy hearted. Skies above us are blue.
• 36:31
  Speaker 24: Right.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: There's a spirit so deep within us. Uh-huh. Old Missouri,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: here's to you.
• 36:36
  Speaker 15: Rah, rah.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: When the band plays the Tiger War song, and when
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the fray is through, we will tramp, tramp, tramp around
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the columns with a cheer for old Mizzou.
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: What's the columns?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming that they're columns in the stadium, maybe. Oh,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: are there?
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: I've never been.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, why would I? Why, yeah. You go to Missouri,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you tend to want to be in the more rural areas.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've got some nice rivers. Branson's okay, but.
• 37:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, like you get to the Ozarks, right?
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: You get to the Ozarks, get some lakes. Oh, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: here they go.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Is this Fight Tigers Fight for Old Mizzou? Right behind you.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Everyone is with you. Break the line and follow down
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the field. You'll be on the top, upon the top.
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Fight Tigers. You will always win. Proudly keep the colors
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: flying skyward. In the end, we'll win the victory. So Tigers...
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: fight for old mizzou underwhelming underwhelming indeed just like missouri
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: i mean it fits perfectly.
• 37:39
  Speaker 11: I'm really worried about this game.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah they're gonna beat the tar out of us you.
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: Know they're they're not they're not heavy favorites and again
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: we'll get to this in picks is there anything we
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: can do to help the team today to motivate them
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: to give them an extra boost of Whatever it is
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: that you need.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I've got an idea. Do you? Yeah. Cigars, rum, and
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Joe Boo.
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: So I had an idea as well. My idea goes
• 38:09
  Speaker 11: back to a conversation we were having on the show
• 38:11
  Speaker 11: about Generation Z. And that conversation was that many Gen
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: Zers are taking to the dark arts to try to
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: find love. And so what they're doing is they're going
• 38:24
  Speaker 11: to Etsy. And they're paying anywhere from five to, as
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: I recall, 50 bucks to hire a witch to cast
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: a love spell for them.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: We were talking to people at the Renaissance Fair on
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: our field trip yesterday about this too.
• 38:38
  Speaker 11: I was talking to people who absolutely, I talked to
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: a few that absolutely did it. Like, oh yeah, I've
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: used an Etsy witch for stuff. I'm like, have you?
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Okay. Have you? I'm going to step over here.
• 38:47
  Speaker 11: Holy cow. So with that said, I could hire an
• 38:51
  Speaker 11: Etsy witch or I could just take a shot at
• 38:56
  Speaker 11: writing a spell to give us what we need, which
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: is hopefully a win.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Why isn't this a service that AI could provide for us?
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Why can't we ask AI to create a witchcraft spell?
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: Are we cool with this? Can I do a little
• 39:12
  Speaker 11: witchcraft for us coming up? I mean, other than unleashing
• 39:16
  Speaker 11: demons upon us, I don't see what it could possibly hurt.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it won't be the first time.
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 39:21
  Speaker 11: Let me get to work on this. And I do
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: like your idea. Perhaps this is something... We all need
• 39:26
  Speaker 11: something that AI can do for us. If somehow AI
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: can write a... some type of incantation or spell that
• 39:32
  Speaker 11: will help Texas A & M get a W over Mizzou.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: And I want to be clear, for entertainment purposes only,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: we are not summoning demons.
• 39:41
  Speaker 11: I mean, how bad do we want to be ten
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: and two, Will? I'll take a break back in a
• 39:47
  Speaker 11: second on WTAW.
• 39:48

• 40:30
  Speaker 16: Before my wife, Jean, and I met, she had a
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: four-year plan for pursuing marriage. She wanted to date for
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: two years, then be engaged for two more. After that,
• 40:40
  Speaker 16: a fairytale wedding, a beautiful ceremony, years in the making.
• 40:44
  Speaker 16: Then I came along. I created two problems. First, I
• 40:48
  Speaker 16: didn't know about her four-year plan. And second, my middle
• 40:51
  Speaker 16: name is Spontaneous. I proposed to Jean after we'd been
• 40:55
  Speaker 16: dating only four months. In fact, I popped the question
• 40:58
  Speaker 16: in the middle of a phone call. A friend of
• 41:01
  Speaker 16: mine contacted me with a job offer that required me
• 41:04
  Speaker 16: to travel for a year. I wanted Jean to go
• 41:06
  Speaker 16: with me, so I dropped the phone to my chest
• 41:09
  Speaker 16: and simply asked, how would you like to get married
• 41:11
  Speaker 16: in six weeks? My wife could have chosen to make
• 41:14
  Speaker 16: her plans the top priority, but instead, she kept her
• 41:17
  Speaker 16: approach to life flexible. And that allowed her to take
• 41:21
  Speaker 16: advantage of good opportunities when they unexpectedly came along. We've
• 41:25
  Speaker 16: been married now for over 30 years and have faced
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: surprise moments throughout our journey together. We've traveled, moved halfway
• 41:32
  Speaker 16: across the country, raised two boys, and welcomed children from
• 41:36
  Speaker 16: foster care. The willingness to be flexible with life while
• 41:40
  Speaker 16: being firmly committed to each other is one of the
• 41:42
  Speaker 16: secrets to a happy marriage.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Set goals. Make plans.
• 41:47
  Speaker 16: Work hard every day. And when life is beyond your control,
• 41:50
  Speaker 16: whether for good or bad, dig in and support each
• 41:53
  Speaker 16: other through thick and thin. To help your marriage thrive,

• 44:39
  Speaker 25: games tonight. Head coach Michael Early spoke about the importance
• 44:42
  Speaker 25: of playing these exhibition games.
• 44:45
  Speaker 28: You want to play good baseball, and the only way
• 44:47
  Speaker 28: to learn to play good baseball, you can definitely practice.
• 44:49
  Speaker 28: That's a huge part of it, but you have to
• 44:50
  Speaker 28: go out there and do it, and what's going to
• 44:52
  Speaker 28: come out of this and what's come out of, A
• 44:54
  Speaker 28: lot of our scrimmages, guys are making mistakes, which is good.
• 44:59
  Speaker 28: We do a lot of video work. You might not
• 45:03
  Speaker 28: make the same mistake as Rich does, but he can
• 45:06
  Speaker 28: learn from your mistakes so he doesn't do it. There's
• 45:09
  Speaker 28: not enough reps for you to make every possible mistake.
• 45:13
  Speaker 28: You don't want a lot of mistakes, but I do
• 45:15
  Speaker 28: find a ton of value in making those so we're
• 45:17
  Speaker 28: able to correct them. Then there's the little things like
• 45:20
  Speaker 28: when guys swing the bat, I prefer them to to
• 45:22
  Speaker 28: hit it hard and far and control the strike zone.
• 45:24
  Speaker 28: And there's a lot of different intricacies to it, but
• 45:27
  Speaker 28: I think the more you can play, and that definitely
• 45:29
  Speaker 28: gets another component, which adds a crowd, a heartbeat. It's
• 45:33
  Speaker 28: different when you play each other. It just sits. And
• 45:36
  Speaker 28: especially when you play here in this conference, there is
• 45:38
  Speaker 28: a part of the guys that aren't, the moment's not
• 45:40
  Speaker 28: too big. So just a lot of different data and
• 45:44
  Speaker 28: value points that I think are valuable for us to
• 45:45
  Speaker 28: get out there and play someone in a different jersey.
• 45:48
  Speaker 25: The scrimmage is slated for 14 innings with first pitch
• 45:51
  Speaker 25: at Olsen Field set for 6 o'clock tonight, and admission
• 45:54
  Speaker 25: to the game is free. In Thursday night football last night,

  Speaker 14: been covering up with a good outward reputation? What would

  Speaker 11: Low 90s for highs, 60s for lows tonight. Then that's

• 49:08
  Speaker 11: our phone number and text number. We're doing witchcraft today, apparently.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: That's what we're doing.
• 49:13
  Speaker 15: Apparently.
• 49:13
  Speaker 11: I'll tell you this, in really creepy stuff, as soon
• 49:16
  Speaker 11: as I got done, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed,
• 49:19
  Speaker 11: and all of a sudden, they're offering me wizard's cloaks
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: as ads.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: To be fair, you were at the Wren Fest yesterday,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and then we talked about what's going on.
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: There's a couple of context clues that might explain that.
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: But yeah, so we're, and I like the idea of
• 49:37
  Speaker 11: using AI for this, because if there's anything that AI
• 49:40
  Speaker 11: is cut out for, it's the dark arts.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, essentially, AI is witchcraft.
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: So I have conjured, with the help of ChatGBT, the
• 49:50
  Speaker 11: Hex of the Howling Twelfth Man, which is an Aggie
• 49:54
  Speaker 11: victory spell for Saturday's battle against the Missouri Tigers.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, give it up.
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: Do we like this?
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 49:59
  Speaker 11: Okay, I need to get some appropriate background music for this.
• 50:02
  Speaker 11: I feel like it needs to be somewhat spooky.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's spooky.
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: Here's my.
• 50:09
  Speaker 11: Am I a witch?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: No, you see, we were talking about this as well.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: You said you were a wizard.
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: I think it's a wizard, right?
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, the male witch is widely used as
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: a warlock is used for that.
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: That seems too scary.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: There are some... You could be called a witch man.
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: A witch man?
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Or a witcher.
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: A witch man or witch.
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: The witch man seems like an insult.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, witcher, what do you want to use? Witch man
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: or witcher?
• 50:34
  Speaker 11: I'm going witch man.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm going with warlock, yeah.
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: Trying to summon energy to take down Mizzou. By the
• 50:44
  Speaker 11: power of Kyle Field, the spirit of the 12th man,
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: and the ancient maroon magic of Aggieland, from the Brazos
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: Banks to Missouri's plains, let maroon and white rise up again.
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: Our gravelly spark and old Sarge's might grant our Aggies
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: the strength to win this fight. Let tiger claws turn
• 51:02
  Speaker 11: soft as dough. Let every Mizzou third down go. May
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: every Aggie pass fly true and every tackle shake the blue.
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: By midnight, yell and cannons roar. Let Aggie touchdown swell
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: the score. Let penalties fall upon the foe. Missouri's rushing
• 51:16
  Speaker 11: yards stay low. With sacred towels raised on high, let
• 51:19
  Speaker 11: Aggie victories fill the sky. Now I'm supposed to recite
• 51:23
  Speaker 11: this three times. before Saturday's 11 a.m.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Kickoff.
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: I'm supposed to be faced northeast towards Columbia. I'm supposed
• 51:29
  Speaker 11: to be wearing maroon. None of those apply to what
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: I just did, so I'm going to have to do
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: this three more stinking times, and I'm supposed to finish
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: with a thunderous whoop. For maximum supernatural effectiveness, remind the
• 51:41
  Speaker 11: football gods that A & M has beaten Missouri three
• 51:44
  Speaker 11: times in a row, so maybe that will help. Also,
• 51:47
  Speaker 11: chat GPT gives me the disclaimer. This magic cannot guarantee success.
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: victory so use it accordingly so that seems like we've
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: just wasted everyone's time here.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Will however i i did not use the gb oh
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: who did you use i i went with jim and
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: i jim and i okay all right all right and
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: jim and i jim and i gave me a little
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: something different gave me you actually need a list of
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: things here before you start this you start the ritual
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: all right let's go you need a maroon candle ain't
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: got it a small piece of paper and a pen
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: a token representing texas a & m like a class
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: ring aggie ring.
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: What about a football signed by.
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: A football?
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, perfect. A small piece of maroon fabric.
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: I think Mike Sherman signed that one.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could... Well, maybe... No, yeah. Okay, that'll do.
• 52:27
  Speaker 11: Yeah, beggars can't be choosers, man.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can use a printed block ATM logo. I
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: would recommend... Oh, that's nice. Yeah, don't use the one
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: with the bevel, though, because the bevel is the devil.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: All right. And a pinch of coarse salt to cast
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a protective circle around you and block the opposing momentum.
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: Wow, this is high.
• 52:44
  Speaker 11: This is high impact.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: So you got to cast the circle of focus, kindle
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: the flame... Inscribe the intention and then recite this chant. Okay, okay, okay.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: By midnight yell and garnet ground, let victory in Columbia
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: be found.
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: Oh, this is good.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Swift as the rush.
• 53:01
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Fierce as the line. Uh-huh. Let maroon and white outshine.
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Shield our defense. Guide every throw. Bring triumph home against
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Missouri's foe. Okay, okay. You're supposed to visualize the team
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: stepping onto the field, executing the flawless plays, walking off
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: the turf with a hard-earned SEC road win, let the
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: candle burn safely for a few moments, then snuff it out,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: knowing the intent is set.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: Got it. Wow, that's really, yours is much more witchman-like
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: than mine.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe even wizard-like.
• 53:41
  Speaker 11: I would say wizardly. Wizardly. Lots of people, lots of
• 53:45
  Speaker 11: our listeners are very concerned about us and our immortal
• 53:47
  Speaker 11: souls after this segment.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Are we really?
• 53:49
  Speaker 11: Tucker, it may not be a good idea to even
• 53:50
  Speaker 11: pretend to cast a spell. I'm usually not superstitious.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 53:54
  Speaker 11: But if it works, though.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean... But if it works, though... I mean,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: we'll be doing this weekly. We'll get rid of picks.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: We'll start doing spells.
• 54:08
  Speaker 11: I'd say, look, all I'm saying is that I think
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: we can all agree that sacrifices are going to have
• 54:14
  Speaker 11: to be made in some form or fashion if we're
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: going to get to 10 and 2. And I'm not
• 54:18
  Speaker 11: an oil billionaire.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: So we all.
• 54:21
  Speaker 11: Give what we can. Ladies and gentlemen, we all give
• 54:26
  Speaker 11: what we can. If you have spells to contribute, I
• 54:30
  Speaker 11: just feel compelled to open it up to you guys
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: as well.
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: 979-695-1620.
• 54:37
  Speaker 11: Is our phone number today. And you can obviously text
• 54:41
  Speaker 11: us as, Oh, I do need to get to this.
• 54:44
  Speaker 11: I realized I had a couple of minutes. Do you
• 54:46
  Speaker 11: know who fared the best in quick service restaurant drive-thrus
• 54:52
  Speaker 11: in the United States of America this last year?
• 54:54
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Didn't we talk about this?
• 54:55
  Speaker 11: I feel like we did, but this seems to be
• 54:58
  Speaker 11: a different rancor.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Well, the big thing about the last one that I
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: think we talked about was that Chick-fil-A was not on top.
• 55:05
  Speaker 11: No, Chick-fil-A isn't on top on this one either. In fact,
• 55:07
  Speaker 11: they're at the bottom.
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: Bottom?
• 55:09
  Speaker 11: Dead bottom. This isn't quality. This is just how fast
• 55:12
  Speaker 11: they get you through per car.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: And Chick-fil-A is not on top?
• 55:15
  Speaker 11: 7.1 minutes to get through a Chick-fil-A on average is
• 55:18
  Speaker 11: what they say.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's right.
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: Dutch Bros, also 6.37 minutes. But the only reason I'm
• 55:25
  Speaker 11: bringing this up was the best performer in all of
• 55:29
  Speaker 11: quick service was Tim Hortons.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Well, the product's already made. Four minutes. You just got
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: to slap it into a box.
• 55:37
  Speaker 11: Tim Hortons.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I can see that just because of the product.
• 55:42
  Speaker 11: I feel like the world is conspiring against me to
• 55:44
  Speaker 11: make me try Tim Hortons.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you still haven't tried it.
• 55:46
  Speaker 8: No.
• 55:47
  Speaker 11: It's got a big Canadian flag on it.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: It feels like the enemy right now. Well, there's nothing
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: wrong with that. It's okay.
• 55:51
  Speaker 12: Is it?
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: It's okay. In this day and age? They're so sorry.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Are they?
• 55:56
  Speaker 11: I mean, I'm led to believe they'll be very friendly.
• 55:58
  Speaker 11: They will be friendly. And they might actually still have
• 56:00
  Speaker 11: maple syrup, which.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, you saying they're smuggling it in?
• 56:04
  Speaker 11: I'm just saying that if you're Tim Hortons and your
• 56:07
  Speaker 11: logo is a maple leaf, my assumption is you're going
• 56:10
  Speaker 11: to get the good stuff.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Could they be Canadian spies? Hmm.
• 56:15
  Speaker 11: Take it into consideration, man. But congrats to Tim's. Killing KFC, Duncan.
• 56:21
  Speaker 11: Duncan was like twice as long. Again, I don't know
• 56:24
  Speaker 11: how they're pulling this off.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Duncan has different things. Sometimes they have to cook them, too.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. If you're just slinging donuts
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: and pastries, that stuff's already made.
• 56:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that helps you out quite a bit. That helps
• 56:35
  Speaker 11: you out quite a bit. Good morning, guys. Happy Friday.
• 56:40
  Speaker 11: We're 1620, 94.5 WTAW College Station. Brian, we are thrilled to.
