Speaker 1 (00:01):
WTAW news time is three minutes after seven. It's sixty
seven degrees. Good morning, and happy Friday. I'm Chelsea Rebert.
A local businessman's idea of a public private partnership for
a fifty five to sixty million dollar baseball complex behind
the Costco store has the interest of the College Station
City Council. No official direction was given at last night's
council meeting, but the managing partner of a College Station
(00:24):
based construction company could get an answer in the next
thirty days. Thomas Rogers wants the city to spend fifteen
to twenty million dollars and donate or lease eighty acres
of land.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'm not asking you to give the bar and away.
I'm asking you to help participate so that I can
actually go to a bank and leverage a note at
a much cheaper interest rate. To make this financially viable,
we would have some private equity, and we already have
those investors lined up.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The baseball part of the project includes a thirty eight
hundred seat stadium and eight adjacent artificial turf fields. Rogers
also proposes a lodging component that he projects will generate
sixty room nights a year.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Single family Caceit is for privacy and comfort. Ten unit
team oriented sleeping units with shared communal spaces RV slips
accommodate budget conscious families, a common choice for summer tournament travel.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The Council discussed, but did not resolve, how the public
private partnership would impact the ongoing design at Veterans Park
of a smaller baseball stadium and two adjacent fields. Repairs
at Brian City Parks was part of the monthly update
to the City Council of Capital and maintenance projects by
City Manager Keen Register.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
City staff is planning repairs at Bob Bond Park to
chain link fencing in multiple locations throughout the complex to
address immediate safety and security concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Brian Park's employees also cleared leaves and debris from trails,
did high risk tree removal, and repaired park lighting systems.
All but six minutes of a Brian isd School Board
meeting on Monday night was held behind closed doors before
going into executive session. The board approved spending one hundred
and fifty six thousand dollars from the twenty twenty bond issue.
Board member Julie Harlane and Wolf confirmed with Construction Services
(02:02):
Director Bobby Griffin about replacing doorknobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
So you're talking about round knobs that are not eighty
eight compliant versus levers that carget.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The board spent ninety minutes in executive session discussing undisclosed
legal personnel and student matters. A Brian man convicted by
a Brass County District Court jury in July for assulting
a jail officer, was sentenced by the judge on Tuesday
to ten years in prison. Assistant and District Attorney Jessica
Escue says they're trying to get twenty seven year old
Joseph Swede transferred to a state prison as soon as
(02:35):
possible due to his behavior while in jail.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Now on October ninth of twenty twenty five, the defendant
has continued with his behavior, including setting fires in the jail,
threatening jail staff, harassing jail staff, threatening other inmates.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
According to online records, Swede has had twenty five court
cases in Braz's County that includes three penning felony trials.
The head of the company that manages Eastwood Airport, the
Texas A and M System, does not anticipate any disruption
in activity during the federal shutdown. John Clanton at Aston
Aviation says air traffic controllers at easter Wood are not
federal employees. Their controllers work for a private contractor who
(03:13):
is not subject to furlough or downsizing that is being
seen in the overall federal workforce. The Texas A and
M System Board of Regents is holding another special meeting
on a Friday this Afternoon's agenda calls for action to
finalize the hiring of the president of the system's new
university in Victoria, and to prove naming rights at Tarleton
State's basketball court that is part of a new one
(03:34):
hundred and thirty million dollars basketball and concert arena. Someone
is also buying naming rights to the men's basketball coaching
offices where head coach Billy Gillespie was reinstated this week,
three days after the system started an investigation into an
anonymous person's undisclosed complaint against the former Texas A and
M head coach. WTAW news time is seven minutes after seven.
(03:55):
It's sixty seven degrees. More news at seven thirty or
online at WTAW dot com. I'm Chelsea Reber. For sixteen
twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Good morning, it is seven o nine. It's the INFOMANIAX
on a Friday morning. Here's some weather. It's brought to
you by Malik. Be prepared for the next power outage
with Matlix Service Company and whole home backup generators from Generak.
Call Malick schedule your appointment. Hi, jemperature man all weekend long.
Looks like we're going to have sunny skies. Of course,
northwest wind, northeast winds about ninety today, ninety one for
(04:27):
Saturday and ninety on Sunday. Load tonight will be sixty
load Tomorrow night sixty one, and on Sunday we're looking
sixty four right now, sixty seven out there.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Both A and M Diamond Sports teams continue the fallball
exhibition season tonight with A and M Baseball taking on
TCU Softball taking on Texas State. These games are free
to attend, free to park, and concessions will be available.
We'll talk about that and more coming up a little
bit later on in sports. So in the keeping Austin
Weird category, imagine if you will, it's a nice beautiful
(04:57):
day like we've been having, perhaps you're strolling by Lady Bird. Lake,
runners are running, people are playing guitar and wandering around
boats on the water. The smells that are Austin wafting by.
Oh yeah, we don't. And then the screaming starts.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
All right.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
The screaming is the new scream Club of Austin.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
Scream Clubs, Scream Plus.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
So this is a way for locals to yell out
their frustrations in the company of like minded people.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
Oh, I mean, we remember Scott.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
This is probably about a year ago or so. We
talked about the rage retreats. Yes, that women could go on,
but they would they would go in like the middle
of a forest and they were allowed to just you know,
kind of scream and like let it all out and whatnot.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
But the idea was that they weren't doing it in
the middle.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Right, city primal scream right, and you see some odd
things in Austin. So you may or may not be
startled by this. They meet every Sunday about seven pm
on the Fluger pedestrian Bridge in downtown. So it's not
at a high traffic area. Okay, you know, a high
traffic time, so you know, but if you're out there's
a lot of people that live down there, and they
of course recreate out on the lake. And I can't
(06:05):
imagine not knowing about this, and suddenly one hundred and
fifty people who showed up for the first meeting start screaming.
So the lady who founded this also founded the Scream
Club Chicago in June, So she's trying to branch out
into multiple cities. Again.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I mean, I see the benefits of just like letting
it out and you know, maybe having some frustrations and
the screaming helps.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
But yeah, just to do it in in a you know,
highly populated.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
City, you should do it in the in the traditional
way that we did things in Austin when I lived there.
And keep your screaming to the interior of your car
perfect when you're stuck on MOPATH. Sure that's exactly where
that belongs.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
Yeah, do that right now. That's why we have windows. Yeah,
roll them up all right.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Scream clubs.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Scream club according to it, and this goes right along
with it. According to a new survey from tripa A,
ninety six percent of US American drivers admit to performing
at least one aggressive driving behavior the past year.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Can't confer at least one. I haven't done that since yesterday.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Oh yeah, okay, And there's a lot of stuff running
red lights, speeding, tailgating, honking, cutting off other vehicles on
the road.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I saw somebody run three stomp signs on the way
into work this morning.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Oh jeez, well, yeah, they slowed them down.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
The data shows that cutting off other vehicles and honking
out of anger is up from back in twenty sixteen.
Tailgating and yelling at other drivers is down.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I typically honk just to get somebody's attention, like when
they're obviously looking at their cell phone and the light
has turned green, doing I get a little you know,
like hey, just a heads up, I tried. I don't
honk too much when I'm angry, unless it's just like
had I been behind that car that was at a
complete stop on the.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Feeder road the other day laid on the who Oh absolutely.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I will typically wave with an actual wave, but in
my mind it's a different hand symbol.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah yeah, well yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I only I only ever wave when somebody lets me
in or it's a.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Nice situation, take off my hat and tip it to them.
When somebody is doing something polite on the highway. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Eleven percent of the drivers in the study say they
also engaged in violent actions like intentionally bumping into another
carc that child.
Speaker 9 (08:27):
That's crazy.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
The study found people under sixty and people with household
incomes of more than one hundred thousand dollars were more
or most likely to drive aggressively. Again, people under sixty
and people who made more than one hundred thousand dollars
a year more likely to drive aggressively. All right, well
so breaking laws of course, or the car itself could
(08:50):
break the law when you have no control over it.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
Tesla, Tesla, once again, here we go.
Speaker 11 (08:56):
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now investigating white
Tesla's self driving tech is making vehicles run red lights,
among other things that would certainly get a human driver
at least a ticket. So far, they've had more than
fifty incident reports of autonomous cars using Tesla's full self
driving software not just running red lights, but crossing into
(09:16):
wrong lanes. Sometimes the car did stop at the red
light and never moved again once the light went green.
The investigation comes as Tesla releases a major update to
its full self driving software. Evan Brown, Fox News.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
It's just trying to get tesla's to drive like everybody
else out there. So it's consistent.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
I mean, that's just crazy.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
The fact that they're doing that, I don't know, that's
very worrisome to me, just going ahead and getting into
the other lane. Yeah, and you know, anecdotally, we'd heard
that when they first started dropping the cars in I
guess California. And they're going on in Austin too, though,
aren't they.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Yeah. As a matter of fact, well.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
And that's not the only only thing is it appears
that they've got their Starlink satellites dropping out of the sky.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Uh oh EarthSky dot more things falling out of the
sky that shouldn't be exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
They say one to two Starlink satellites re enter earth
atmosphere every day, and that number is expected to rise
as the network of Starlink satellites developed by SpaceX expand
over eight thousand, they'll have additional satellites going up. And
then there are other companies that are sending satellites up too.
There's a lot of space junk up there, tons. The
(10:34):
potential for satellite re entry is increasing. Spacecraft expert Jonathan
McDowell predicts that with the growing number of what they
call low Earth orbit satellites projected to be almost thirty
thousand in total, I mean that's a bunch. Lifespan of
a satellite is five to seven years. Factors like solar
activity and other things can significantly affect their re entry.
(10:57):
The high solar activity heats and decays the orbits of.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
The rockets or the satellites.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
For instance, a solar storm in twenty twenty two cost
forty newly launched Starlink satellites to fall to Earth prematurely.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Now they burn up as they come through the atmash.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I was about to say, typically they're not huge, so
most of them will dissipate.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I don't know if I'll find today or not, but
I saw a story this week when you talk about
pieces of something as big as a basketball, Okay, that
used that the amount of space junk just debris that
is up there is really phenomenal and that could cause
a problem.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
As far as the satellites, we.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Don't see it, but I mean it's basically littering in space,
is what we're talking about here, right.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And yeah, so anyway, well they talk about that on
the crazy overnight AM radio. They call it the Kessler effect,
where one satellite will dissipate and run into all the
other satellites and the next thing, you know, you know, armageddon.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Late night radio, Hey, good morning, gets in from Maniacs
on a Friday.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
It's seven eighteen.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
We are giving away our last pair of tickets to
the Brass Valley Fair and Rodeo and a pair of
tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival. Our question is would
you rather always be ten minutes late or always be
twenty minutes early.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I think everybody that has texted in has said early. Yeah,
but we won't judge you totally. Feel free to text us.
We do need your first and last name. With that
text nine seventy nine six nine five, sixteen twenty.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I go through phases, and lately I have been in
a phase where I have been doing way too much
online shopping.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Yeah, I know, I know, and it's it's wild.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
It's just like my little mouse over here to the
right of my computer. It just does, it takes over
and next thing, you know, I've spent way too much money.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So you know, we've talked about this before, like different
tips to more so, to stop buying things you don't
actually need. Okay, there is such a thing as a
financial therapist, get that. So according to financial therapists, here
are some tips on how to stop buying things you
don't actually need. The first one, give it twenty four hours,
(13:00):
better yet, until the end of the week. This would
this would make a big difference for me. When you're
board stressed or randomly inspired by that flash sale something
like a trendy phone accessory or you know whatever, all
of a sudden it becomes a must have, go ahead
and just you know, put it in the cart, hold
it there, give it twenty four hours or better yet,
(13:21):
wait until the end of the week.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
See if you still really want it.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
I still have that mister Mustard in my cart.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Probably really, I haven't.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Bought it yet.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Yeah, yeah, how about this one.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Unsubscribed from marketing emails, daily texts and emails about fifteen
percent off sales and new arrivals, or you left something
in your cart.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Those reminders are not doing your.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Bank account any favors, like they work for a reason, right,
and so if you just unsubscribe, that would definitely help
remove your debit or your credit card details from those
saved payment methods. First of all, it's it's better for
your financial security to not have your stuff saved. But
it also makes it to say I have to get
up and go get my credit card and type in
(14:02):
the number and type in that that could deter you
from making a purchase you don't actually want or you
don't need. This is quaint adopt a cash only policy.
There's actually some research to support that using cash could
help you shop more intentionally. That's because, unlike a credit card,
it gives the illusion of having unlimited funds.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
You physically see the bills leaving your hands.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yes, it's a painful wake up call to how much
you are really losing.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Dave Ramsey has helped me. Millions of people buy pain
with K.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And then they talk about something called the taper acronym
tap eer so t timing.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Have I been wanting this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
For a while or is it sudden in like a
new desire affordability? Can I buy this without using my
credit card or sacrificing essentials?
Speaker 8 (14:52):
Purpose?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Is it replacing or upgrading something necessary such as like
a broken appliance or your worn out shoes? Emotional state
am I buying out of boredom, sadness, or excitement, and
then regret potential.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Will I regret not getting this if I wait a day.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Or even I love a good acronym.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Yeah, yeah, taper team, I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Tape that on the refrigerator so that my family life.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
I tend to do this sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, And that's truly so much of it is like,
all of a sudden, I make my brain believe I
need this and I need it now, when in reality,
if I just wait a little bit longer, I probably
would be okay. The unsubscribing from marketing emails is tough
because every time you do go buy something, you have
to like re enter your your email address.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
It's pretty immune to those I just you know, swipe delete.
Speaker 12 (15:40):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sure, yeah, But anyway, there's some tips in case you're
having issues like me. And this is a tough time
of year because I feel like everybody in my family
has October birthdays. Not everybody, but there's a few. My
parents and my sister in law all October. Then we're
right on the cusp of holidays. I'm like already thinking
about Christmas shopping and so and then I'm over here
(16:00):
buying things for myself to make matters worse.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
Do you know about Google's try on technology? Try on technology?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
They basically it lets you see what billions of clothing
items might look like on you.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Oh okay.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
In the coming weeks, it's gonna be expanding to Australia
and Canada and Japan. Starting today, it is rolling out
a new category, shoes ah try on state of the art.
AI accurately perceive shapes and depths, preserving those subtleties, and
then they allow they will basically put the shoes on
(16:38):
your feet.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
You'll see what they look like, picture yourself.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And I don't need to know what the shoes are
gonna look like on my feet. I need to know
if they're gonna fit my feet, how they're gonna feel.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
That's not a problem for my wife. She doesn't care
if they fit or not. If they look good. She
will stand in shoes all day long that are just
the worst for what she does because they look good.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Shoppers in the US are having lots of fun and
according to Google, try and clothes on and even sharing
the images that they have created wearing these new clothes
with their friends.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
I mean, I'm surprised that this technology hasn't existed.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
I think they've had it for like glasses for a while.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, sure, yes, yes, or you can try on because
that that really can be something that especially if you're
having to buy prescription glasses, like you can't just return
those necessarily.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
No, that's true. Well, that's it. It's called Google Trial.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Well, so do you have to does it? Say? Like,
does it? How do you upload your body image?
Speaker 5 (17:31):
They go to the they type in Google tryal and
it shows you exactly how to do it, take a picture,
and then they'll put the clothes on you.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
All right, So I think this is great. Why are
you rying about it?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I mean it's it. Well, you know, it makes it easy, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Because so many times you buy stuff online and you know,
because not everybody likes to go to the store and
try stuff on, and even if you do, you're like
you're in this weird fitting room with bad lighting and
you're like sweating and you're you know, it's just it's
not pleasant trying on clothes in a public place, and
so so many people they prefer to online shop. But this,
(18:11):
and honestly, this is going to help the companies, the
stores gu how many people return stuff, and we talk
about it. They are losing a ton of money on returns,
whether you know, and less and less are offering free
returns and that's making customers mad because we had free
returns for so long. And so if you can at
least try something on, like quote unquote virtually try it on,
(18:35):
I think is going to reduce the amount of returns
that need to be made and people are going to
be shopping more intentionally.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Yeah, but I still think it's going to be They're
going to be making more purchases. And that's I mean,
that's good too for the company. The company. That's not
so good for me.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
But instead I'm like buying fourteen different things knowing I'm
going to plan on returning some of them if they
don't fit.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
And now I can at least.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Virtually try it on and be like, oh, yeah, that
dress is not going to look good on me. Don't
even bother buying it and then having to go through
the whole return process.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Be interesting to see where we are in a couple
of years. That will be adopted by younger generation. I
don't think there's any doubt about that they will certainly
do that, and of course the technology you will probably
get better as well. They'll be able to go, yeah,
eventually do a three sixty of you wearing you to
have your whole hologrammer rather exactly.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
The whole thing. But anyway, that's it. It's Google Trial.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
WTAW news time is seven thirty one, It's sixty six degrees.
News is presented by west Webb All Britton Gentry Law Firm,
the experienced legal team for the things you value most.
Good morning, I'm Chelsea Reaper. The Brassos County District Attorney's
Office is trying to get a Brian man to prison
as quickly as possible. This is after a judge on
Tuesday sentence twenty seven year old Joseph Swede to ten
(19:47):
years for assaulting a detention officer in March of last year.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
He is someone who has been a problem here in
brass County for a number of years.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Assistant DA Jessica Escu says since December of twenty twenty two,
when Swede was booked at for the eleventh time and
ten years, he has constantly caused problems.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
Setting fires, harassing jail staff, sexually harassing jail staff, threatening
jail staff, threatening other inmates, and being violent in the
Brass County Detention Center.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Swited faces three more felony trials, one for binding a
Bran police officer and two for evading arrest. The monthly
update to Brian City Council members about capital and maintenance
projects by City Manager Keen Register included staff completing repairs
at city parks.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Including sand volleyball court maintenance, clearing of the leaves and
debris from trail systems, the granite trail improvement, internal park system,
trash collection services, high risk tree removals, light system repairs,
and the pressure washing of park pavilions.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Register also said at Bob Bond Park, city staff as
planning repairs to chain link fencing to improve safety and security.
The College Station City Council indicated its interest in a
local businessman's offer to enter a public press partnership to
build a fifty five to sixty million dollar baseball complex
behind the Costco Store. A formal decision could be made
(21:07):
in the next thirty days on the plan presented by
Thomas Rogers, who is the managing partner of a College
Station based construction company. Rogers confirmed accountsman Bob Yancy last night.
The private investment that he has secured and the cost
to build a thirty eight hundred seat stadium and eight
adjacent artificial turf fields sow much capital?
Speaker 12 (21:25):
Do you have?
Speaker 6 (21:25):
You said? Forty million dollars?
Speaker 12 (21:27):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes, sir? City participation fifteen million if there's no champ field,
twenty million if there is.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Rogers is also asking the city to donate or lease
eighty acres of land in addition to giving fifteen to
twenty million dollars, subject to soil tests coming back to
show the complex can be built. Rogers said he would
complete construction by June of twenty twenty seven. City Manager
Brian Woods believed as soon as the complex would open
is the summer of twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Even if you told me we could get exactly where
everyone wanted this to be and we could get the
utilities and things go like, I think it would be challenging.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
The thirty day window to consider the public private partnership
will also have a yet to be determined impact on
the design and possible construction of a smaller baseball stadium
in two fields at Veterans Park. No disruption in activity
at Easterwood Airport is anticipated during the federal shutdown. That's
according to the head of the company that manages Easterwood
for the Texas A and M System, John Clanton at
(22:25):
Aston Aviation says, for many years, Easterwood has been the
beneficiary of the Federal Aviation Administration's Contract Tower program. Their
air traffic controllers work for a private contractor and not
the federal government. For the third consecutive Friday, there's a
special meeting of the Texas A and M System Board
of Regents, But unlike the last two weeks, this afternoon's
(22:45):
agenda does not include scheduled action involving the flagship campus,
though the agenda keeps the door open for action on
unidentified new and old business. Scheduled action includes finalizing the
hiring of the first president of the system's new campus
in Victoria, and approving naming rights at Charlton State's new
basketball and multipurpose arena, which seats eight thousand for basketball
(23:05):
and ten thousand for concerts. One of the naming rights
is for the men's basketball coaches offices, where head coach
Billy Gillespie was reinstated earlier this week.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
The former Texas A and UM head coach was on.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Administratively for three days while the A and M system
investigated an undisclosed complaint from an anonymous person. Brian ISD
school board members this week approved one of the final
expenditures from the bond issue that voters approved five years ago.
Bisd's Construction Services Director Bobby Griffin says they received three
bids after approaching one hundred and eighty potential vendors to
(23:37):
replace doorknobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
So the most part it is literally changing out the
old round knobs and replacing them with clever set.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
The purchase of one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars
of door levers that comply with the American with Disabilities
Act was more than fourteen thousand dollars under the projected budget.
The projected budget, I should say, and hey guess what.
You're invited to plant one wildflower seeds today at College

Speaker 9 (24:34):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
It's seven thirty eight. It's the Info Maniac. It's a Friday.
Glad you're with us. Let's have a look at our weather.
It's brought to you by Malik. Be prepared for the
next power outage with Malix Service Company and whole home
backup generators from Jenerak Head Malick. Schedule your appointment with them.
High temperature all week call all weekend long. Probably going
to be about ninety ninety one something like that. Low's
(24:55):
will be down around sixty tonight, and same thing on Saturday,
and then the Sunday night abouts to sixty four. Right now,
look at it sixty seven out there.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Aggie soccer team is on the road and in action
tonight in Baton Rouge as they take on the Tigers.
We'll talk about that and more coming up in sports.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Got that big Florida fight song coming up later on
this nour you know, chomp them up or eat them up?
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Chop yeah, whatever they did eat chop fine.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Speaking of eating and chomping, we should have probably had
this story yesterday because we were discussing, Oh, by the way,
we're giving away tickets, let's talk about that for a minute.
Give it away tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival and
also Abressa Valley Fair and rodeo. Question is would rather
be ten minutes late or twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Or And pretty much everybody is saying what we expected,
they would rather be early. We did have somebody who
was least honest. I shoot to be twenty minutes early,
but I always arrive on time or ten minutes late.
I have a teenager, so it's always about all yep,
somebody else had always early. I have a friend who
is constantly late and has been for the last twenty
(25:57):
four years.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
I can definitely relate to that. Yea, yeah, and so.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But most people, you know, if you're not if you're
not early, you're not on time. If you know you're
not early or late, that kind of thing, you know,
old coach speak, you know, whether it was your your
coaches or your parents always talking about you know, being early.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I did really relate.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
To another text message somebody said, I would always rather
be twenty minutes early. I always have a book with me. Yeah,
and that is me to a t. I have a
book with me almost at all times. And that way,
if I am early, I can at least sit there
and get a few pages in while I wait.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
I get palpitations if I'm late to something, I mean,
my heart, I just don't like doing it.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
One of the worst things is if your reputation becomes,
oh well, they're late, they're there, They're always late, and
there there are people out there.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Yeah, but those are the people that I think just
don't care.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It's exactly because if you're late enough to have it
as part of your reputation, the thought of caring is
way over.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
But yeah, text us, we do need your first and
last name. Nine seventy nine, six nine five, sixteen twenty.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Lazy yellow chip bags later this year will come with
a new phrase made with real potatoes.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
Okay, some lazer case you doubted it, right.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Some lazer varieties are gonna be switching. They're gonna start
to using olive oil or avocado oil instead of corn
oil or seed oil. The barbecue flavors will be reformulated
to remove the artificial coloring used to give the chips
that red brown color. Now that's gonna be interesting because
the perception of the chip, I mean has to do
(27:32):
with the flavor. What if it's I mean, what if
it's just the natural looking chip.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
But it tastes like barbecue, right, don't know?
Speaker 9 (27:39):
So, Yeah, having to redo their bags.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I did see that. Yeah, I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And they're gonna be they're gonna be heavier, and they're
gonna be a matte finish and the shiny ones that
you're kind.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Of used to.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Yeah, that kind of gives you that natural feel, right.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Quite honestly, it's been it's been tough times for PepsiCo,
that's the company that owns Lays. Right now, they're down
almost five percent from a year ago when people kind
of stopped eating chips and salty stuff. The commitment from
the unit that makes not only Lays but also Dorito's
and Cheetos are trying to turn the ship around, if
(28:13):
you will. But it was a surprising data point that
they found in twenty twenty one research. It revealed that
forty two percent of people didn't know Lay's chips were made.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
With real potatoes.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
What did they think they were made out of?
Speaker 6 (28:26):
You aren't made with onions?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Okay, okay, but you can tell I think or like pringles,
like definitely have that different texture, and we know they're
made out of like a potato, like.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Slory flake substance or something.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, but yeah, like what else would a Lays potato
chip be made out of?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
So PepsiCo decided that the brand needed to reclaim its
roots in the spud and some of them are grown.
They mentioned Hancock, Wisconsin. Okay, Wisconsin, which is really kind
of known for cheese.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Oh yeah, sure, but they say more than one thing.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
After the potatoes are picked, they're washed, carted off in
trucks to the manufacturing facility, and at the plants, the
spuds are cut, fried, coated, and seasoning, and bagged while
still warm. There are parts of Wisconsin where shoppers can
eat a bag of Lays that was made earlier.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
That.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh that's awesome, And I actually really like the new
bags that they have online. I just I think they
look really classy, and yeah, I like it. I like
that matte finish. I think that's cool.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
One of the things they said, though, because they're going
to go to more natural products and take the artificials
out that can maybe changed because of light and temperature,
the way they look when you buy them, and maybe
that's the reason they're using that new bag. Adding vegetable juice,
for instance, for color meant that the food scientists had
to closely monitor the taste. You often had to rebalance
(29:48):
the recipe because you want to make sure that it's
still tastes like the original. Worst thing you could do
is change the taste of the chip.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Yeah, but there you go.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Just in case you didn't know. And apparently again, forty
two percent of the people.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Lazed potato chips are made with potatoes.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
Everybody, God, it's frightening, all right. So here's what the
internet is for.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
They ask, what's a secret you'll never tell your partner?
A secret you'll never tell your partner. I bought a
backup of my wedding ring in case I lost it,
which I did less than a year.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
And that's a man, that is a man without a doubt.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
You gotta prepare.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
The ice cream is hidden behind the frozen brocoli.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
How about this one? There was about a two week
wait between when we were approved to adopt our dog
and the day we took her home. During that time,
I would go every day to the shelter and spend
a few hours with the dog by myself to bond
with the pumpy. The dog likes me a lot more,
and my wife is super jealous.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
That's really yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
I heard our baby say dad, dad before anyone heard
her say mama. And this is a great dad move,
he said. I let my wife think mama was her first.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
Ad That is good. That is good. How about this one?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Her Lasagna's torrible?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Just keep eating it, man. Her favorite kind of music
is my absolute least favorite kind of music.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I guess that's a secret that they don't want to tell.
And then my wife is five to one. I hide
the cookies on the top shelf.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Let's just good morning and happy Friday. I'm will Welch
with your morning sports update on sixteen, twenty ninety four
to five wta W.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
It is me right pleasure to make the next city last.
The Texas Tailgaters versus the Savannah Bananas come Tail getting
with us to college station.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
It was announced yesterday the Savannah Bananas are bringing in
their world renowned show to Kyle Field on Saturday, May
second of next year. Yes, Kyle Field against the Texas Tailgators.
More information about out the show and how to join
the ticket lottery can be found at twelfthman dot com.
This Saturday at Kyle it's Aggie Football against the Florida Gators.
(32:09):
Offensive coordinator Colin Kleine says the next step for his
team is consistency.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Yeah, I think consistency is the biggest thing that we're
striving for right now. I mean, when when we're clicking,
it's watch out right, and then there's you know, we'll
go through a couple possessions where bad call here, bad
decision here, you know, bad decision here, a penalty here,
or something that you know, we just kind of kill
ourselves on some drives that that if we're able to
sustain those, you know, I think that's the next step
(32:37):
for us.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
The Texas A and M baseball team concludes fall exhibition
action tonight with a twelve inning scrimmage against TCU, starting
at six o'clock from Olsen Field at Bluebell Park. Here's
head coach Michael Early on why fallball is important.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
It allows guys to play in front of crowds that
they've never played in front before.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Especially you know majority of the new guys, if not
all of them, so that part is really good.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Desk gets sped up a little bit, and you want
that to happen.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
The Texas A and M softball team continues its exhibition
homestand tonight at six against Texas State for both diamond
Sport exhibitions Tonight, parking and admissions are free and concessions
will be open. The Aggie soccer team is in action
on the road tonight in Baton Rouge to take on
the Tigers of LSU with a seven o'clock kick. A
M has a victory over Texas and a tie against
(33:24):
Oklahoma in their last two outings. LSU is seven to
five and two on the season, with a two to
two and two mark in league action. Aggie freshman an A.
Pearlman grabbed a pair of wins yesterday in the qualifying
rounds of the ITA Regional Championships at Friedman Tennis Center.
Pearlman defeated Natalia Guerrero from UTSA in her first win
as an Aggie and took down Rice's Valentino Serrano to
(33:47):
move into the main draw. The main draw singles begin
today with four aggis competing to advance into the round
of thirty two. Dallas Cowboys defensive end Dante Fowler is
coming off his best game of the season thus fallt
and his return to the Cowboys, but now he's dealing
with some illness that sidelined him and kept him out
of practice yesterday. The veteran pass rusher still has some
(34:08):
time to recover and potentially make the trip to face
the Panthers, but his status is currently to be determined.
Sad news from the world of college basketball. Sister Jean
Dolores Schmitt, the beloved longtime chaplain of the Loyola Chicago
men's basketball team who became a folk hero during its
Cinderella run to the Final four and twenty eighteen, died yesterday.
(34:29):
The school said. Sister Jean joined the staff at Loyola
Chicago in nineteen ninety one. Three years later, she became
part of the basketball team, first as an academic advisor
before transitioning to chaplain. Health issues caused her to step
down from her role in August. She was one hundred
and six years old. That's your morning Sports Update on sixteen,
twenty ninety four to five WTAW. I'm will welch.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Uza, good morning. It's the informaniacs. It's about four minutes
till a here we go. So give a year for
Florida waving forever forever, pick up what forever?
Speaker 9 (35:05):
Pride Old Florida.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
That's it. That may she droop never.
Speaker 9 (35:10):
We will sing a thought, tell me true. It's all
about the flag. What is that about? Share your team
on onto the goal.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
We'll fight our way for Flora.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
It's a pretty generic wow fight song. Yeah, I think though.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Anyway, So okay, well they you know, they've got a
few famous people that went to the University of Florida.
Of course, our favorite Tim Tebow, you know, quarterback and
Heisman and all of the things. Now, sports broadcaster Aaron Andrews,
remember she was on.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
All the dance team, right.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
She used to talk smack to the opposing basketball players
at the free throw line. She said she was I
was probably the only one on the dance team who
actually knew what like a you know, a field goal
percentage was or something like that.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
So that's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Let's see Fade done Away is a University of Florida alumni.
Am It Smith, Marco Rubio, Chris Collins Work also went
to the University of Florida along with Jesse Palmer.
Speaker 8 (36:00):
There's another one of those.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Sports guys these broadcasts.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
I know, Stephen Root. I don't know if you all
know the name of American actor. He went to the
University of Florida as well, Jim Brown. She was a
sports broadcaster. Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
He's an American TV host, attorney and political commentator. So, yeah,
they've they've got a few good people there.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
They've got a strong broadcasting school there.
Speaker 9 (36:22):
He turned out a lot of those Stephen Root I love.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, I know, I thought I saw that one.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I thought that.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
Milton in the Office. Yeah, that's that's how you'll know him.
Speaker 8 (36:29):
He's done a lot of pretty funny characters.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
The five thousand students. Well, that's that's a nice little school. Yeah, yeah,
all right. Anyway, so sleep and exercise both vital. So
when you've not had a full night's sleep, is it
better to sleep in a bit or get up an exercise?
Male clinic researchers say you shouldn't choose between the two,
(36:52):
he said. They said sleep and exercise much like food
and water. But okay, not only are they both necessaries,
which one's it's difficult. It's difficult to get healthy doses
of of get healthy without a dose of each of those.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Sure, but if you have.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
To choose one or go to the other, sleep is
what you need to do, because it's foundational. Lots of
people think that they can operate on less than seven
or eight hours of sleep, but then tested, they found
out they didn't perform best.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, just because you can what you consider function does
not mean that you're at your best by any means.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
So if you do that, all right?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
I have friends that run into that because they work
out early and if they have to stay up late
for whatever reason, they really really struggle with this. Should
I just go ahead and sleep in or should I
still get up and go to the gyms?
Speaker 8 (37:38):
Yeah that's so.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
I drive by a gym every day and you know
their cars there. Well, sure people are really getting up
and getting in, which.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
If you have enough sleep, great, But you know.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
How high can you jump?
Speaker 5 (37:48):
The current official world record for the highest vertical jump
is by Darius Clark fifty one inches. Wow, that's almost
as tall as me. I mean, that's that's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
All right.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
So when the A and E Network was launched in
nineteen eighty four, it came on after Nickelodeon signed off
at night on the same channel. Interesting, and this is
interesting too. The word apron was originally an apron. When
people would say an apron, people were actually hearing an apron,
So it became Apron Bride Broadcasting Station WGAW College Station

WTAW news time is three minutes after seven. It's sixty
seven degrees. Good morning, and happy Friday. I'm Chelsea Rebert.
A local businessman's idea of a public private partnership for
a fifty five to sixty million dollar baseball complex behind
the Costco store has the interest of the College Station
City Council. No official direction was given at last night's
council meeting, but the managing partner of a College Station
(00:24):
based construction company could get an answer in the next
thirty days. Thomas Rogers wants the city to spend fifteen
to twenty million dollars and donate or lease eighty acres
of land.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I'm not asking you to give the bar and away.
I'm asking you to help participate so that I can
actually go to a bank and leverage a note at
a much cheaper interest rate. To make this financially viable,
we would have some private equity, and we already have
those investors lined up.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The baseball part of the project includes a thirty eight
hundred seat stadium and eight adjacent artificial turf fields. Rogers
also proposes a lodging component that he projects will generate
sixty room nights a year.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Single family Caceit is for privacy and comfort. Ten unit
team oriented sleeping units with shared communal spaces RV slips
accommodate budget conscious families, a common choice for summer tournament travel.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The Council discussed, but did not resolve, how the public
private partnership would impact the ongoing design at Veterans Park
of a smaller baseball stadium and two adjacent fields. Repairs
at Brian City Parks was part of the monthly update
to the City Council of Capital and maintenance projects by
City Manager Keen Register.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
City staff is planning repairs at Bob Bond Park to
chain link fencing in multiple locations throughout the complex to
address immediate safety and security concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Brian Park's employees also cleared leaves and debris from trails,
did high risk tree removal, and repaired park lighting systems.
All but six minutes of a Brian isd School Board
meeting on Monday night was held behind closed doors before
going into executive session. The board approved spending one hundred
and fifty six thousand dollars from the twenty twenty bond issue.
Board member Julie Harlane and Wolf confirmed with Construction Services
(02:02):
Director Bobby Griffin about replacing doorknobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
So you're talking about round knobs that are not eighty
eight compliant versus levers that carget.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The board spent ninety minutes in executive session discussing undisclosed
legal personnel and student matters. A Brian man convicted by
a Brass County District Court jury in July for assulting
a jail officer, was sentenced by the judge on Tuesday
to ten years in prison. Assistant and District Attorney Jessica
Escue says they're trying to get twenty seven year old
Joseph Swede transferred to a state prison as soon as
(02:35):
possible due to his behavior while in jail.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Now on October ninth of twenty twenty five, the defendant
has continued with his behavior, including setting fires in the jail,
threatening jail staff, harassing jail staff, threatening other inmates.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
According to online records, Swede has had twenty five court
cases in Braz's County that includes three penning felony trials.
The head of the company that manages Eastwood Airport, the
Texas A and M System, does not anticipate any disruption
in activity during the federal shutdown. John Clanton at Aston
Aviation says air traffic controllers at easter Wood are not
federal employees. Their controllers work for a private contractor who
(03:13):
is not subject to furlough or downsizing that is being
seen in the overall federal workforce. The Texas A and
M System Board of Regents is holding another special meeting
on a Friday this Afternoon's agenda calls for action to
finalize the hiring of the president of the system's new
university in Victoria, and to prove naming rights at Tarleton
State's basketball court that is part of a new one
(03:34):
hundred and thirty million dollars basketball and concert arena. Someone
is also buying naming rights to the men's basketball coaching
offices where head coach Billy Gillespie was reinstated this week,
three days after the system started an investigation into an
anonymous person's undisclosed complaint against the former Texas A and
M head coach. WTAW news time is seven minutes after seven.
(03:55):
It's sixty seven degrees. More news at seven thirty or
online at WTAW dot com. I'm Chelsea Reber. For sixteen
twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Good morning, it is seven o nine. It's the INFOMANIAX
on a Friday morning. Here's some weather. It's brought to
you by Malik. Be prepared for the next power outage
with Matlix Service Company and whole home backup generators from Generak.
Call Malick schedule your appointment. Hi, jemperature man all weekend long.
Looks like we're going to have sunny skies. Of course,
northwest wind, northeast winds about ninety today, ninety one for
(04:27):
Saturday and ninety on Sunday. Load tonight will be sixty
load Tomorrow night sixty one, and on Sunday we're looking
sixty four right now, sixty seven out there.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Both A and M Diamond Sports teams continue the fallball
exhibition season tonight with A and M Baseball taking on
TCU Softball taking on Texas State. These games are free
to attend, free to park, and concessions will be available.
We'll talk about that and more coming up a little
bit later on in sports. So in the keeping Austin
Weird category, imagine if you will, it's a nice beautiful
(04:57):
day like we've been having, perhaps you're strolling by Lady Bird. Lake,
runners are running, people are playing guitar and wandering around
boats on the water. The smells that are Austin wafting by.
Oh yeah, we don't. And then the screaming starts.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
All right.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
The screaming is the new scream Club of Austin.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
Scream Clubs, Scream Plus.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
So this is a way for locals to yell out
their frustrations in the company of like minded people.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
Oh, I mean, we remember Scott.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
This is probably about a year ago or so. We
talked about the rage retreats. Yes, that women could go on,
but they would they would go in like the middle
of a forest and they were allowed to just you know,
kind of scream and like let it all out and whatnot.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
But the idea was that they weren't doing it in
the middle.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Right, city primal scream right, and you see some odd
things in Austin. So you may or may not be
startled by this. They meet every Sunday about seven pm
on the Fluger pedestrian Bridge in downtown. So it's not
at a high traffic area. Okay, you know, a high
traffic time, so you know, but if you're out there's
a lot of people that live down there, and they
of course recreate out on the lake. And I can't
(06:05):
imagine not knowing about this, and suddenly one hundred and
fifty people who showed up for the first meeting start screaming.
So the lady who founded this also founded the Scream
Club Chicago in June, So she's trying to branch out
into multiple cities. Again.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I mean, I see the benefits of just like letting
it out and you know, maybe having some frustrations and
the screaming helps.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
But yeah, just to do it in in a you know,
highly populated.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
City, you should do it in the in the traditional
way that we did things in Austin when I lived there.
And keep your screaming to the interior of your car
perfect when you're stuck on MOPATH. Sure that's exactly where
that belongs.
Speaker 9 (06:44):
Yeah, do that right now. That's why we have windows. Yeah,
roll them up all right.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Scream clubs.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Scream club according to it, and this goes right along
with it. According to a new survey from tripa A,
ninety six percent of US American drivers admit to performing
at least one aggressive driving behavior the past year.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Can't confer at least one. I haven't done that since yesterday.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Oh yeah, okay, And there's a lot of stuff running
red lights, speeding, tailgating, honking, cutting off other vehicles on
the road.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I saw somebody run three stomp signs on the way
into work this morning.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
Oh jeez, well, yeah, they slowed them down.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
The data shows that cutting off other vehicles and honking
out of anger is up from back in twenty sixteen.
Tailgating and yelling at other drivers is down.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I typically honk just to get somebody's attention, like when
they're obviously looking at their cell phone and the light
has turned green, doing I get a little you know,
like hey, just a heads up, I tried. I don't
honk too much when I'm angry, unless it's just like
had I been behind that car that was at a
complete stop on the.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Feeder road the other day laid on the who Oh absolutely.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I will typically wave with an actual wave, but in
my mind it's a different hand symbol.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah yeah, well yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I only I only ever wave when somebody lets me
in or it's a.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Nice situation, take off my hat and tip it to them.
When somebody is doing something polite on the highway. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Eleven percent of the drivers in the study say they
also engaged in violent actions like intentionally bumping into another
carc that child.
Speaker 9 (08:27):
That's crazy.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
The study found people under sixty and people with household
incomes of more than one hundred thousand dollars were more
or most likely to drive aggressively. Again, people under sixty
and people who made more than one hundred thousand dollars
a year more likely to drive aggressively. All right, well
so breaking laws of course, or the car itself could
(08:50):
break the law when you have no control over it.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
Tesla, Tesla, once again, here we go.
Speaker 11 (08:56):
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now investigating white
Tesla's self driving tech is making vehicles run red lights,
among other things that would certainly get a human driver
at least a ticket. So far, they've had more than
fifty incident reports of autonomous cars using Tesla's full self
driving software not just running red lights, but crossing into
(09:16):
wrong lanes. Sometimes the car did stop at the red
light and never moved again once the light went green.
The investigation comes as Tesla releases a major update to
its full self driving software. Evan Brown, Fox News.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
It's just trying to get tesla's to drive like everybody
else out there. So it's consistent.
Speaker 9 (09:33):
I mean, that's just crazy.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
The fact that they're doing that, I don't know, that's
very worrisome to me, just going ahead and getting into
the other lane. Yeah, and you know, anecdotally, we'd heard
that when they first started dropping the cars in I
guess California. And they're going on in Austin too, though,
aren't they.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Yeah. As a matter of fact, well.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
And that's not the only only thing is it appears
that they've got their Starlink satellites dropping out of the sky.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Uh oh EarthSky dot more things falling out of the
sky that shouldn't be exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
They say one to two Starlink satellites re enter earth
atmosphere every day, and that number is expected to rise
as the network of Starlink satellites developed by SpaceX expand
over eight thousand, they'll have additional satellites going up. And
then there are other companies that are sending satellites up too.
There's a lot of space junk up there, tons. The
(10:34):
potential for satellite re entry is increasing. Spacecraft expert Jonathan
McDowell predicts that with the growing number of what they
call low Earth orbit satellites projected to be almost thirty
thousand in total, I mean that's a bunch. Lifespan of
a satellite is five to seven years. Factors like solar
activity and other things can significantly affect their re entry.
(10:57):
The high solar activity heats and decays the orbits of.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
The rockets or the satellites.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
For instance, a solar storm in twenty twenty two cost
forty newly launched Starlink satellites to fall to Earth prematurely.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Now they burn up as they come through the atmash.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I was about to say, typically they're not huge, so
most of them will dissipate.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I don't know if I'll find today or not, but
I saw a story this week when you talk about
pieces of something as big as a basketball, Okay, that
used that the amount of space junk just debris that
is up there is really phenomenal and that could cause
a problem.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
As far as the satellites, we.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Don't see it, but I mean it's basically littering in space,
is what we're talking about here, right.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And yeah, so anyway, well they talk about that on
the crazy overnight AM radio. They call it the Kessler effect,
where one satellite will dissipate and run into all the
other satellites and the next thing, you know, you know, armageddon.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Late night radio, Hey, good morning, gets in from Maniacs
on a Friday.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
It's seven eighteen.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
We are giving away our last pair of tickets to
the Brass Valley Fair and Rodeo and a pair of
tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival. Our question is would
you rather always be ten minutes late or always be
twenty minutes early.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I think everybody that has texted in has said early. Yeah,
but we won't judge you totally. Feel free to text us.
We do need your first and last name. With that
text nine seventy nine six nine five, sixteen twenty.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I go through phases, and lately I have been in
a phase where I have been doing way too much
online shopping.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Yeah, I know, I know, and it's it's wild.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
It's just like my little mouse over here to the
right of my computer. It just does, it takes over
and next thing, you know, I've spent way too much money.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So you know, we've talked about this before, like different
tips to more so, to stop buying things you don't
actually need. Okay, there is such a thing as a
financial therapist, get that. So according to financial therapists, here
are some tips on how to stop buying things you
don't actually need. The first one, give it twenty four hours,
(13:00):
better yet, until the end of the week. This would
this would make a big difference for me. When you're
board stressed or randomly inspired by that flash sale something
like a trendy phone accessory or you know whatever, all
of a sudden it becomes a must have, go ahead
and just you know, put it in the cart, hold
it there, give it twenty four hours or better yet,
(13:21):
wait until the end of the week.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
See if you still really want it.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
I still have that mister Mustard in my cart.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Probably really, I haven't.
Speaker 9 (13:28):
Bought it yet.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Yeah, yeah, how about this one.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Unsubscribed from marketing emails, daily texts and emails about fifteen
percent off sales and new arrivals, or you left something
in your cart.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Those reminders are not doing your.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Bank account any favors, like they work for a reason, right,
and so if you just unsubscribe, that would definitely help
remove your debit or your credit card details from those
saved payment methods. First of all, it's it's better for
your financial security to not have your stuff saved. But
it also makes it to say I have to get
up and go get my credit card and type in
(14:02):
the number and type in that that could deter you
from making a purchase you don't actually want or you
don't need. This is quaint adopt a cash only policy.
There's actually some research to support that using cash could
help you shop more intentionally. That's because, unlike a credit card,
it gives the illusion of having unlimited funds.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
You physically see the bills leaving your hands.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yes, it's a painful wake up call to how much
you are really losing.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Dave Ramsey has helped me. Millions of people buy pain
with K.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And then they talk about something called the taper acronym
tap eer so t timing.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Have I been wanting this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
For a while or is it sudden in like a
new desire affordability? Can I buy this without using my
credit card or sacrificing essentials?
Speaker 8 (14:52):
Purpose?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Is it replacing or upgrading something necessary such as like
a broken appliance or your worn out shoes? Emotional state
am I buying out of boredom, sadness, or excitement, and
then regret potential.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Will I regret not getting this if I wait a day.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Or even I love a good acronym.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
Yeah, yeah, taper team, I'm gonna.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Tape that on the refrigerator so that my family life.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
I tend to do this sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, And that's truly so much of it is like,
all of a sudden, I make my brain believe I
need this and I need it now, when in reality,
if I just wait a little bit longer, I probably
would be okay. The unsubscribing from marketing emails is tough
because every time you do go buy something, you have
to like re enter your your email address.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
It's pretty immune to those I just you know, swipe delete.
Speaker 12 (15:40):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Sure, yeah, But anyway, there's some tips in case you're
having issues like me. And this is a tough time
of year because I feel like everybody in my family
has October birthdays. Not everybody, but there's a few. My
parents and my sister in law all October. Then we're
right on the cusp of holidays. I'm like already thinking
about Christmas shopping and so and then I'm over here
(16:00):
buying things for myself to make matters worse.
Speaker 9 (16:05):
Do you know about Google's try on technology? Try on technology?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
They basically it lets you see what billions of clothing
items might look like on you.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Oh okay.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
In the coming weeks, it's gonna be expanding to Australia
and Canada and Japan. Starting today, it is rolling out
a new category, shoes ah try on state of the art.
AI accurately perceive shapes and depths, preserving those subtleties, and
then they allow they will basically put the shoes on
(16:38):
your feet.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
You'll see what they look like, picture yourself.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
And I don't need to know what the shoes are
gonna look like on my feet. I need to know
if they're gonna fit my feet, how they're gonna feel.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
That's not a problem for my wife. She doesn't care
if they fit or not. If they look good. She
will stand in shoes all day long that are just
the worst for what she does because they look good.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Shoppers in the US are having lots of fun and
according to Google, try and clothes on and even sharing
the images that they have created wearing these new clothes
with their friends.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
I mean, I'm surprised that this technology hasn't existed.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
I think they've had it for like glasses for a while.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, sure, yes, yes, or you can try on because
that that really can be something that especially if you're
having to buy prescription glasses, like you can't just return
those necessarily.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
No, that's true. Well, that's it. It's called Google Trial.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Well, so do you have to does it? Say? Like,
does it? How do you upload your body image?
Speaker 5 (17:31):
They go to the they type in Google tryal and
it shows you exactly how to do it, take a picture,
and then they'll put the clothes on you.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
All right, So I think this is great. Why are
you rying about it?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I mean it's it. Well, you know, it makes it easy, yes.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Because so many times you buy stuff online and you know,
because not everybody likes to go to the store and
try stuff on, and even if you do, you're like
you're in this weird fitting room with bad lighting and
you're like sweating and you're you know, it's just it's
not pleasant trying on clothes in a public place, and
so so many people they prefer to online shop. But this,
(18:11):
and honestly, this is going to help the companies, the
stores gu how many people return stuff, and we talk
about it. They are losing a ton of money on returns,
whether you know, and less and less are offering free
returns and that's making customers mad because we had free
returns for so long. And so if you can at
least try something on, like quote unquote virtually try it on,
(18:35):
I think is going to reduce the amount of returns
that need to be made and people are going to
be shopping more intentionally.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Yeah, but I still think it's going to be They're
going to be making more purchases. And that's I mean,
that's good too for the company. The company. That's not
so good for me.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
But instead I'm like buying fourteen different things knowing I'm
going to plan on returning some of them if they
don't fit.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
And now I can at least.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Virtually try it on and be like, oh, yeah, that
dress is not going to look good on me. Don't
even bother buying it and then having to go through
the whole return process.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Be interesting to see where we are in a couple
of years. That will be adopted by younger generation. I
don't think there's any doubt about that they will certainly
do that, and of course the technology you will probably
get better as well. They'll be able to go, yeah,
eventually do a three sixty of you wearing you to
have your whole hologrammer rather exactly.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
The whole thing. But anyway, that's it. It's Google Trial.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
WTAW news time is seven thirty one, It's sixty six degrees.
News is presented by west Webb All Britton Gentry Law Firm,
the experienced legal team for the things you value most.
Good morning, I'm Chelsea Reaper. The Brassos County District Attorney's
Office is trying to get a Brian man to prison
as quickly as possible. This is after a judge on
Tuesday sentence twenty seven year old Joseph Swede to ten
(19:47):
years for assaulting a detention officer in March of last year.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
He is someone who has been a problem here in
brass County for a number of years.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Assistant DA Jessica Escu says since December of twenty twenty two,
when Swede was booked at for the eleventh time and
ten years, he has constantly caused problems.
Speaker 12 (20:03):
Setting fires, harassing jail staff, sexually harassing jail staff, threatening
jail staff, threatening other inmates, and being violent in the
Brass County Detention Center.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Swited faces three more felony trials, one for binding a
Bran police officer and two for evading arrest. The monthly
update to Brian City Council members about capital and maintenance
projects by City Manager Keen Register included staff completing repairs
at city parks.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Including sand volleyball court maintenance, clearing of the leaves and
debris from trail systems, the granite trail improvement, internal park system,
trash collection services, high risk tree removals, light system repairs,
and the pressure washing of park pavilions.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Register also said at Bob Bond Park, city staff as
planning repairs to chain link fencing to improve safety and security.
The College Station City Council indicated its interest in a
local businessman's offer to enter a public press partnership to
build a fifty five to sixty million dollar baseball complex
behind the Costco Store. A formal decision could be made
(21:07):
in the next thirty days on the plan presented by
Thomas Rogers, who is the managing partner of a College
Station based construction company. Rogers confirmed accountsman Bob Yancy last night.
The private investment that he has secured and the cost
to build a thirty eight hundred seat stadium and eight
adjacent artificial turf fields sow much capital?
Speaker 12 (21:25):
Do you have?
Speaker 6 (21:25):
You said? Forty million dollars?
Speaker 12 (21:27):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes, sir? City participation fifteen million if there's no champ field,
twenty million if there is.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Rogers is also asking the city to donate or lease
eighty acres of land in addition to giving fifteen to
twenty million dollars, subject to soil tests coming back to
show the complex can be built. Rogers said he would
complete construction by June of twenty twenty seven. City Manager
Brian Woods believed as soon as the complex would open
is the summer of twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Even if you told me we could get exactly where
everyone wanted this to be and we could get the
utilities and things go like, I think it would be challenging.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
The thirty day window to consider the public private partnership
will also have a yet to be determined impact on
the design and possible construction of a smaller baseball stadium
in two fields at Veterans Park. No disruption in activity
at Easterwood Airport is anticipated during the federal shutdown. That's
according to the head of the company that manages Easterwood
for the Texas A and M System, John Clanton at
(22:25):
Aston Aviation says, for many years, Easterwood has been the
beneficiary of the Federal Aviation Administration's Contract Tower program. Their
air traffic controllers work for a private contractor and not
the federal government. For the third consecutive Friday, there's a
special meeting of the Texas A and M System Board
of Regents, But unlike the last two weeks, this afternoon's
(22:45):
agenda does not include scheduled action involving the flagship campus,
though the agenda keeps the door open for action on
unidentified new and old business. Scheduled action includes finalizing the
hiring of the first president of the system's new campus
in Victoria, and approving naming rights at Charlton State's new
basketball and multipurpose arena, which seats eight thousand for basketball
(23:05):
and ten thousand for concerts. One of the naming rights
is for the men's basketball coaches offices, where head coach
Billy Gillespie was reinstated earlier this week.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
The former Texas A and UM head coach was on.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Administratively for three days while the A and M system
investigated an undisclosed complaint from an anonymous person. Brian ISD
school board members this week approved one of the final
expenditures from the bond issue that voters approved five years ago.
Bisd's Construction Services Director Bobby Griffin says they received three
bids after approaching one hundred and eighty potential vendors to
(23:37):
replace doorknobs at four elementary schools.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
So the most part it is literally changing out the
old round knobs and replacing them with clever set.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
The purchase of one hundred and fifty six thousand dollars
of door levers that comply with the American with Disabilities
Act was more than fourteen thousand dollars under the projected budget.
The projected budget, I should say, and hey guess what.
You're invited to plant one wildflower seeds today at College
Station's Richard Carter Park at noon. The event, hosted by
(24:05):
the A and M Garden Club, will include Miss Rodeo
Texas and former Aggie Equestrian team member Rhanna Santos. Along
with spreading seeds, participants will also be given wildflower seeds
to take home and plant as a way to promote
pollinating insects. WTAW news time is seven thirty six. It
is sixty six degrees. News is presented by west Web
All Bretton Gentry. More news at the top of the
(24:27):
hour or online at WTAW dot com. I'm Chelsea Reeber
for sixteen twenty ninety four five WTAW.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
It's seven thirty eight. It's the Info Maniac. It's a Friday.
Glad you're with us. Let's have a look at our weather.
It's brought to you by Malik. Be prepared for the
next power outage with Malix Service Company and whole home
backup generators from Jenerak Head Malick. Schedule your appointment with them.
High temperature all week call all weekend long. Probably going
to be about ninety ninety one something like that. Low's
(24:55):
will be down around sixty tonight, and same thing on Saturday,
and then the Sunday night abouts to sixty four. Right now,
look at it sixty seven out there.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
Aggie soccer team is on the road and in action
tonight in Baton Rouge as they take on the Tigers.
We'll talk about that and more coming up in sports.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Got that big Florida fight song coming up later on
this nour you know, chomp them up or eat them up?
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Whatever?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Chop yeah, whatever they did eat chop fine.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Speaking of eating and chomping, we should have probably had
this story yesterday because we were discussing, Oh, by the way,
we're giving away tickets, let's talk about that for a minute.
Give it away tickets to the Texas Renaissance Festival and
also Abressa Valley Fair and rodeo. Question is would rather
be ten minutes late or twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Or And pretty much everybody is saying what we expected,
they would rather be early. We did have somebody who
was least honest. I shoot to be twenty minutes early,
but I always arrive on time or ten minutes late.
I have a teenager, so it's always about all yep,
somebody else had always early. I have a friend who
is constantly late and has been for the last twenty
(25:57):
four years.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
I can definitely relate to that. Yea, yeah, and so.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
But most people, you know, if you're not if you're
not early, you're not on time. If you know you're
not early or late, that kind of thing, you know,
old coach speak, you know, whether it was your your
coaches or your parents always talking about you know, being early.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
I did really relate.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
To another text message somebody said, I would always rather
be twenty minutes early. I always have a book with me. Yeah,
and that is me to a t. I have a
book with me almost at all times. And that way,
if I am early, I can at least sit there
and get a few pages in while I wait.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
I get palpitations if I'm late to something, I mean,
my heart, I just don't like doing it.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
One of the worst things is if your reputation becomes,
oh well, they're late, they're there, They're always late, and
there there are people out there.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Yeah, but those are the people that I think just
don't care.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
It's exactly because if you're late enough to have it
as part of your reputation, the thought of caring is
way over.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
But yeah, text us, we do need your first and
last name. Nine seventy nine, six nine five, sixteen twenty.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Lazy yellow chip bags later this year will come with
a new phrase made with real potatoes.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
Okay, some lazer case you doubted it, right.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Some lazer varieties are gonna be switching. They're gonna start
to using olive oil or avocado oil instead of corn
oil or seed oil. The barbecue flavors will be reformulated
to remove the artificial coloring used to give the chips
that red brown color. Now that's gonna be interesting because
the perception of the chip, I mean has to do
(27:32):
with the flavor. What if it's I mean, what if
it's just the natural looking chip.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
But it tastes like barbecue, right, don't know?
Speaker 9 (27:39):
So, Yeah, having to redo their bags.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I did see that. Yeah, I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And they're gonna be they're gonna be heavier, and they're
gonna be a matte finish and the shiny ones that
you're kind.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Of used to.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Yeah, that kind of gives you that natural feel, right.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Quite honestly, it's been it's been tough times for PepsiCo,
that's the company that owns Lays. Right now, they're down
almost five percent from a year ago when people kind
of stopped eating chips and salty stuff. The commitment from
the unit that makes not only Lays but also Dorito's
and Cheetos are trying to turn the ship around, if
(28:13):
you will. But it was a surprising data point that
they found in twenty twenty one research. It revealed that
forty two percent of people didn't know Lay's chips were made.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
With real potatoes.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
What did they think they were made out of?
Speaker 6 (28:26):
You aren't made with onions?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Okay, okay, but you can tell I think or like pringles,
like definitely have that different texture, and we know they're
made out of like a potato, like.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Slory flake substance or something.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, but yeah, like what else would a Lays potato
chip be made out of?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
So PepsiCo decided that the brand needed to reclaim its
roots in the spud and some of them are grown.
They mentioned Hancock, Wisconsin. Okay, Wisconsin, which is really kind
of known for cheese.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Oh yeah, sure, but they say more than one thing.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
After the potatoes are picked, they're washed, carted off in
trucks to the manufacturing facility, and at the plants, the
spuds are cut, fried, coated, and seasoning, and bagged while
still warm. There are parts of Wisconsin where shoppers can
eat a bag of Lays that was made earlier.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
That.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh that's awesome, And I actually really like the new
bags that they have online. I just I think they
look really classy, and yeah, I like it. I like
that matte finish. I think that's cool.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
One of the things they said, though, because they're going
to go to more natural products and take the artificials
out that can maybe changed because of light and temperature,
the way they look when you buy them, and maybe
that's the reason they're using that new bag. Adding vegetable juice,
for instance, for color meant that the food scientists had
to closely monitor the taste. You often had to rebalance
(29:48):
the recipe because you want to make sure that it's
still tastes like the original. Worst thing you could do
is change the taste of the chip.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Yeah, but there you go.

Lazed potato chips are made with potatoes.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
Everybody, God, it's frightening, all right. So here's what the
internet is for.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
They ask, what's a secret you'll never tell your partner?
A secret you'll never tell your partner. I bought a
backup of my wedding ring in case I lost it,
which I did less than a year.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
And that's a man, that is a man without a doubt.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
You gotta prepare.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
The ice cream is hidden behind the frozen brocoli.
Speaker 6 (30:28):
How about this one? There was about a two week
wait between when we were approved to adopt our dog
and the day we took her home. During that time,
I would go every day to the shelter and spend
a few hours with the dog by myself to bond
with the pumpy. The dog likes me a lot more,
and my wife is super jealous.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
That's really yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
I heard our baby say dad, dad before anyone heard
her say mama. And this is a great dad move,
he said. I let my wife think mama was her first.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
Ad That is good. That is good. How about this one?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Her Lasagna's torrible?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Just keep eating it, man. Her favorite kind of music
is my absolute least favorite kind of music.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I guess that's a secret that they don't want to tell.
And then my wife is five to one. I hide
the cookies on the top shelf.

Offensive coordinator Colin Kleine says the next step for his
team is consistency.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
Yeah, I think consistency is the biggest thing that we're
striving for right now. I mean, when when we're clicking,
it's watch out right, and then there's you know, we'll
go through a couple possessions where bad call here, bad
decision here, you know, bad decision here, a penalty here,
or something that you know, we just kind of kill
ourselves on some drives that that if we're able to
sustain those, you know, I think that's the next step
(32:37):
for us.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
The Texas A and M baseball team concludes fall exhibition
action tonight with a twelve inning scrimmage against TCU, starting

It allows guys to play in front of crowds that
they've never played in front before.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
Especially you know majority of the new guys, if not
all of them, so that part is really good.

and his return to the Cowboys, but now he's dealing

Sad news from the world of college basketball. Sister Jean

Speaker 9 (35:10):
We will sing a thought, tell me true. It's all
about the flag. What is that about? Share your team
on onto the goal.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
We'll fight our way for Flora.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
It's a pretty generic wow fight song. Yeah, I think though.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Anyway, So okay, well they you know, they've got a
few famous people that went to the University of Florida.
Of course, our favorite Tim Tebow, you know, quarterback and
Heisman and all of the things. Now, sports broadcaster Aaron Andrews,
remember she was on.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
All the dance team, right.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
She used to talk smack to the opposing basketball players
at the free throw line. She said she was I
was probably the only one on the dance team who
actually knew what like a you know, a field goal
percentage was or something like that.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
So that's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Let's see Fade done Away is a University of Florida alumni.

Sports guys these broadcasts.
Speaker 8 (36:03):
I know, Stephen Root. I don't know if you all
know the name of American actor. He went to the
University of Florida as well, Jim Brown. She was a
sports broadcaster. Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
He's an American TV host, attorney and political commentator. So, yeah,
they've they've got a few good people there.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
They've got a strong broadcasting school there.
Speaker 9 (36:22):
He turned out a lot of those Stephen Root I love.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, I know, I thought I saw that one.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I thought that.
Speaker 9 (36:26):
Milton in the Office. Yeah, that's that's how you'll know him.
Speaker 8 (36:29):
He's done a lot of pretty funny characters.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
The five thousand students. Well, that's that's a nice little school. Yeah, yeah,
all right. Anyway, so sleep and exercise both vital. So
when you've not had a full night's sleep, is it
better to sleep in a bit or get up an exercise?
Male clinic researchers say you shouldn't choose between the two,
(36:52):
he said. They said sleep and exercise much like food
and water. But okay, not only are they both necessaries,
which one's it's difficult. It's difficult to get healthy doses
of of get healthy without a dose of each of those.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Sure, but if you have.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
To choose one or go to the other, sleep is
what you need to do, because it's foundational. Lots of
people think that they can operate on less than seven
or eight hours of sleep, but then tested, they found
out they didn't perform best.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, just because you can what you consider function does
not mean that you're at your best by any means.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
So if you do that, all right?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
I have friends that run into that because they work
out early and if they have to stay up late
for whatever reason, they really really struggle with this. Should
I just go ahead and sleep in or should I
still get up and go to the gyms?
Speaker 8 (37:38):
Yeah that's so.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
I drive by a gym every day and you know
their cars there. Well, sure people are really getting up
and getting in, which.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
If you have enough sleep, great, But you know.
Speaker 9 (37:46):
How high can you jump?
Speaker 5 (37:48):
The current official world record for the highest vertical jump
is by Darius Clark fifty one inches. Wow, that's almost
as tall as me. I mean, that's that's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
All right.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
So when the A and E Network was launched in
nineteen eighty four, it came on after Nickelodeon signed off
at night on the same channel. Interesting, and this is
interesting too. The word apron was originally an apron. When
people would say an apron, people were actually hearing an apron,
So it became Apron Bride Broadcasting Station WGAW College Station
