Speaker 1 (00:03):
WTAW news time is five minutes after six. It is
sixty seven degrees. Good morning, I'm Chelsea reverb. Questions about
Brazos County government's cybersecurity came up before county commissioners approved
an eight month extension of its insurance coverage. The county's
chief Information security Officer, Kevin Joyner, said the insurance meets
their needs.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's not just protection from ransomware or hackers getting in
and breaking our firewalls. It's protection from our cybersecurity processes
being breached as well.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Risk Manager Leslie Contrera says the insurance also protects county employees.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
We have one thousand employees, and our employees are only human.
They are our greatest resource, but they are also our
biggest liability. And that is just the way it is
for every corporate business. That's the way it is for
every governmental entity.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Commissioners were also told there have been attempts to compromise
Brasos County's network, but none have been successful. Additional information
was provided about delays in two state highway projects in
Brazs County. Dan Rudge of the Metropolitan Planning Organization told
the MPO's policy board about not resuming construction on Texas
Avenue in Brian until April of twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
The cost increase deals mostly with traffic signals in MLKA
on Third Street at Sulfur Springs, but it also due
to an updated estimate, along with additional inflation added to the.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Estimate because of the later landing day, and an interchange
at Welburn Road in George Bush Drive that's been in
various stages since nineteen ninety nine will not start construction
until July of twenty twenty seven. Rudge said Union Pacific
Railroad is not agreed to hardly anything related to that project.
College Station police and fire spent part of yesterday at
the intersection where Texas crosses Walton in New Maine that

(01:49):
followed a collision between an suv and a moped. A
CSPD spokesman says the moped driver, who was wearing a helmet,
suffered serious, non life threatening injuries. The driver of the
suv was ticketed for family to yield the right of way.
More than one hundred people participated in this week's City
of College Station public meeting regarding a proposal to end
overnight parking in neighborhoods east and south of the Texas

(02:10):
A and M campus.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
My takeaway would be that we had excellent turnout. I
was amazed room was full.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Mayor John Nichols reviewed his observations on our show.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
The audience is quite engaged and it wasn't really just
talking to staff members at the various tables. There were
about seven stations that you could talk to different people,
code enforcement, transportation, fire and so forth.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Nichol said he was intrigued by the dialogue between A
and M students and longtime residents of the affected neighborhoods.
The Texas A and M System Board of Regents could
name an interim president at the flagship University tomorrow afternoon.
The Regent's second special meeting and as many Fridays, starts
at two thirty by again going behind closed doors, where
the board spent more than four hours last week. The

(02:53):
agenda also calls for a private discussion about legal matters
that could include settlement offers. This follows the region action
last week to approve a settlement offered to former President
Mark Welsh. Tomorrow is the twentieth anniversary of First Friday
in downtown Brian.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
If you haven't been in a while, or you've never
been before. It's a great event, so we're really excited.
We're going to have extra things going on in celebration
of Versus Friday.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Lena Adams of the Destination Brian Tourism Office as Anniversary

debuting a new Legends video. WTAW news time is eight
minutes after six at sixty seven degrees. More news at

Reebert for sixteen twenty ninety four to five WTAW man.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
It's a Thursday, good morning at six y ten. Let's
have it look at our weather. It's brought to you
by Uni Roofing and sheet Metal, home of the dur
Last roof system, world's best roof give the called it
two six eight roof go to United Roofingpros dot com.
I think we said this yesterday. High temperature about ninety four.
Low temperature will be in the probably upper sixties. We're
looking at ninety one for our high temperature on Friday,
Friday night sixty seven and then Saturday about ninety and

(04:02):
pretty nice in the evening about sixty seven. And right now,
that's what we got sixty seven out there.

Speaker 8 (04:06):
Texas A and M's Mario Kraber added to the watch
list for the Belitnikov Award. We'll talk about that and
more coming up in Sport. Gotta have more of those
watching watch list stuff.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Everybody has to be doing that, Okay. I think we've
had yogurt for a while, right It's been part of
our world.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
It has. I think the history of yogurt actually goes
very very far way way back.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
I can remember boy years ago when yo Play was
the first one who I think tried to really get
into the American market.

Speaker 8 (04:36):
Fruit on the bottom. Man, I loved it. Well.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
They they started by saying the Swiss people eat like
fifty times more yogurt than Americans. Why not be like
this Swiss? And by yo Play, I mean that was okay,
I remember that was the whole gist of the thing.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
Now we've gotten to the point where it's complicated yogurt.
I mean, yogurt is just the carrier for all sorts
of stuff. Sure, And I've also noticed it's not cheap anymore.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, nothing is cheap anymore, Scott nothing.

Speaker 7 (05:09):
That's a good point. I don't know, I'm not eating
as much yogurt as I used.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
To, but uh, yeah, I was gonna say you were.
You were on that Greek yogurt cakes for a while.

Speaker 7 (05:17):
I really really was. And yeah, part of it, I
think did get to be the price. I'm just going, wow, man,
I'm picking this up and this this thing costs five
dollars and seventy five cents and it's like three meal
yeah something like that. So yeah, I kind of got
off of that.

Speaker 8 (05:30):
A little bit.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
But we got the newest iteration of yogurt, and of
course it comes from the Chicken Talk folks.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
The Chicken Dok.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
The new trend is stretchy yogurt.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh no oh.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
It's originally a big hit in China, so they decided
to bring it over here and try it on us. Sure,
the shops are in New York and a few other places.
It's a little like the customized frozen yogurt trend that
we had in the early two thousands and there's still around.
But it's kind of elastic and gummy in texture.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
Why would you want to eat that, don't know.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
So what you do is you choose your stretchy yogurt
and then of course, and it's consistency basically of melted chocolate. Okay,
just kind of right.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, so it's yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know
if it's the taste that's weird, it's just kind of
the texture that's maybe a little bit.

Speaker 8 (06:24):
Differ than mozzarella stickers.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yeah, so they apparently they're a little guarded about what
creates that texture. They don't want to let us know.
The flavors include huh, five vegetable, five grain, mango, and coconut.
Those are your choices. And again it's based in China,
where they do stuff in a weird way. I mean,

(06:46):
the whole idea. Yeah, and you think about it. In China,
jillions of people, it's probably hard to get vegetables in
any way, shape or form, so they have I think
this is basically gelatin that is right, tastes like vegetables.
So you choose the different fruits that you want and
that goes along with one wet topping and one dry topping,

(07:06):
and then you put it in a great big cup
and you glop this stuff in there. And that's supposed
to be the new fun thing.

Speaker 8 (07:13):
I'm going to say, the great big nope on that one.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
So I have found a recipe for a three ingredient
stretchy yogurt. All right, so it says the which now
I'm looking at it, it looks more like than three,
but that's okay. So half a cup of greek yogurt,
half a cup of milk, and then a fourth of
a cup of tapioca starch. That is what gives it
the stretch, and then optional ingredient a little bit of sugar.

(07:37):
I guess if you want it sweeter, that's why they
said it was three. So yeah, exactly, because the other
one is optional. And then obviously if you want the
toppings and the different you know, you can do all
sorts of like what you said. This is kind of
just a vehicle, like like you know, frozen yogurt or
ice cream, and then you add whatever you want. But yeah,
it's that tapioca starch. And then I guess apparently you

(07:58):
actually put it in the microwave for.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
A little bit. Interesting.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, so it says you mix you mix them the yogurt,
the milk, and the tapioca starch. Then you cover it
with plastic wrap and poke some holes. Microwave for two minutes.
Remove the bowl carefully. It will be hot mix until
a uniform batter forms, and then the stretchy yogurt gets
smoother and stretchier as you mix it more and as
it cools down.

Speaker 7 (08:22):
Probably does sound like something that you would go to
a place for making that in your home would be
It doesn't.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Sound difficult, But what do you how how very ingredients
in a microwave?

Speaker 7 (08:32):
How small a container of tapioca powder? Well, for sure, yeah, start, yeah,
tapioca starts. Then you got to do that. Then you go,
I have to go find twenty seven recipes. They include
tapioca stars.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Looks like there's a recipe for Asian cookies and I
guess they use this stretchy yogurt.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Oh all right, that info. Yeah, okay, stretchy yogurt fifty recipes.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
But then they've got like all these parfait recipes. So
you know, I mean, what you do with yogurt, you
just have it's a little bit different.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
That's true. And again if you get unflavored, then you
know the calorie counts down. You got high pro Oh protein,
it's got protein. Oh that makes it a winner right there.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Right time.

Speaker 7 (09:16):
Sixteen, twenty ninety four five WGA WC inflm Adiacs, it's

There you go. It's the second day of October. It
is Yam Kapor. This is the holiest day in the
year for Judy.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, this is when I was at when I was
in grad school at Syracuse, the you know, thirty percent
at the time, it might be more thirty percent of
the student population was Jewish, and me, coming from down here,
I was not accustomed to that. Sure, and so when
they said, hey, we don't have school tomorrow it's Yom Kapoor,
I was like, what is this? This is great?

Speaker 7 (09:52):
Yeah, exactly, but.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, I learned definitely learned more about the Jewish holidays
when I was up there, because it was it was
a different world.

Speaker 8 (09:58):

here that would do a sound effect of thunderstorms.

Speaker 1 (11:21):

never experienced it, but that would be kind of fun.
But here it comes, you.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
Know, and I don't know who decided on that. Somebody's
made a lot of money off the idea that we
have to every once in a while spray stuff on
the produce. Otherwise white, it's going to be inedible.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Not sure, but anyway, I mean I think it probably

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yes, let's remember we also have yesterday's winner. I just

can also do more tickets today.

Speaker 8 (15:14):
Yes, so I got that.

Speaker 7 (15:15):
So yeah, it's a pair of both of those. Question
is what's the last thing you used duct tape for?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (15:21):
Okay, yesterday? Yeah, why that's that's I mean, there's a
lot of it out there. So what's the last thing
you used duct tape for?

Speaker 1 (15:28):
All right? Go ahead and text us. We do need
your first and last name. You've got to give us
that if you want a chance to win. But we
also need your answer. Sometimes you'll just text in your name,
like we need you to do a little bit of work. Okay,
So yeah, what is the question again? What is the
last thing you used duct tape for? Text us? Nine seven, nine, six,
nine five, sixteen twenty.

Speaker 7 (15:46):
All right, found a recipe from nineteen seventy five. It's
viral online now. It's called pancake soup. Ill I know,
yeah exactly.

Speaker 8 (15:54):
When you hear yogurt and pancake.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Soup, stretchy yogurt, yogurt.

Speaker 7 (15:59):
Yeah, yeah, So when you hear pancake soup, you might
think of the TikTok style hacks where a traditional dish
is deconstructed, like maybe pancakes in broth or syrup or whatever.
For the recipe, you basically make pancakes on a griddle
in bacon grease, and then you cut them into quarter

(16:23):
inch strips, and then you put those strips into an
actual broth that's made of bullion cubes and water, and
you heat.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
And serve that all sounds disgusting, It does, doesn't it.
Then it starts to then like I was actually okay
with stretchy yogurt. This is just not okay, not good.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
A post with an image of the recipe has gone
viral with some combatters that have pointed out that there
is a German dish called f yes, okay, and there
are a lot of ways to do that, and some
of those are more appealing.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
That doesn't look terrible.

Speaker 7 (16:57):
Okay, Yeah, now that that could possible happened right there.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
And so the yeah, the German pancake soup. It features
thinly sliced crapes and a rich beef broth, so and
crapes you think sweet, but really it's just a doe.
So it's almost just like beef broth with like kind
of a weird noodle.

Speaker 7 (17:19):
Yeah, and that's that's that's kind of where we're going.
And so the Internet, of course comments, as they always will,
this looks like a way to repurpose yesterday's stale breakfast,
because it seems a little silly to take fresh pancakes
and do.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
That, right, and we were discussing earlier this one. A
pancake is much different than a crape, Right, what do
you call it?

Speaker 7 (17:39):
Is it big? Thick?

Speaker 8 (17:39):
Is it thin?

Speaker 7 (17:40):
Exactly? So people looked at that and said, wow, that
is creative beef stock with pancake pieces floating in it.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, that's discussed.

Speaker 7 (17:47):
It doesn't It does not sound good at all. But
when you see that, that's basically that it can be
repurposed in a different way. Now here's stuffing. They said,
if you change the bullion broth to black tea with
a dash of milk and honey, that sounds awesome.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Then you've got a sweet soup.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
Yeah, that changes the whole texture of the feel of
it because you've done that. I'm not exactly as sure said.
I would rather just eat pancakes and take my broth
on this side. Yeah, when you start asking Americans to
change a traditional food and repurpose it that way.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, pancake isn't made for soup.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
No, it's essentially attained perfection just on its own. It's all.

Speaker 7 (18:28):
Yeah, we got it figured out. We don't have to change.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
WTAW news time is six point thirty one. It is
sixty six degrees this morning. Good morning, I'm Chelsea Reebert.
The Brasses County governmental body that deals with transportation issues
approves delays in two state projects. The director of the
Metropolitan Planning Organization, Dan Rudge, told the MPO's policy board
that Union Pacific Railroad is the reason that the start

(18:56):
of building the interchange at Welburn Road and George Bush
dry from this December until July of twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
We've been in.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Discussions for a parade time with Annie Pacific. We haven't
gotten resolution on just about anyhue that with Baby Pasupic
and so unfortunately that's.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
What it is.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
That Realrond was here first and so we have to
company through over.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Rug said on Texas Avenue and Brian there is a
cost increase to replace signals at Sulfur Springs Road and
at MLK. That project won't resume construction until April of
twenty twenty eight. Traffic on Texas in front of Texas
A and M was slowed down yesterday following the collision
of a moped and an suv. A College Station police
spokesman says the moped driver suffered serious, non life threatening injuries.

(19:42):
The moped driver was wearing a helmet. The driver of
the suv was ticketed for failing to yield the right
of way. The first of the month means rent is due,
and Brian Police received calls from residents saying there's a
scam where the police department would be paying rent. BPD's
Facebook post says, unfortunately and with sad news that is
not us, BPD instructs renters to continue getting your rent

(20:04):
money in as usual. Brazo's County commissioners approving an eight
month extension of its cybersecurity insurance coverage at this week's
meeting came after questions from Commissioner Bentley Nettles.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
There the period of time that we had the denial
service attacks that were successful goods to our network.

Speaker 7 (20:19):
No.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Have we had a network penetration.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
No, We've had people knocking at the door.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
The county's Chief Information Security Officer, Kevin Joyner said, the
cyber insurance meets their needs.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I am very cautious about throwing a ton of money.
I don't see that as an answer. I want to
be We're going to select this, we're going to implement it,
We're going to implement it well and fully, and we're
going to reassess where we are and then we're going
to go.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Commissioners were also told from their risk manager that the
insurance is also a protection should county employees click on
links that lead to security issues. College station Mayor John
Nichols was among those attending this week's public meeting on
a proposal to end overnight parking in neighborhoods south and
east of the Texas A and UM campus.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
The target we're aiming at as the impact of the
unintended over occupancy, which now could overflow tremendously given the
there is no ordinance that we can follow that deals
with occupancy.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Speaking on our show, Nichols observed the dialogue between A
and M students and longtime homeowners.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
I was intrigued by how much interaction there was between
the long term citizens and the students, and that was great.
That goes really good. And that was just one on one.
I mean, they had nothing to do with city staff
or anything.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Nichol said. City staff set up seven stations where information
was available. For the second consecutive Friday, the Texas SAINUM
System Board of Regents is holding a special meeting this
Friday's agenda includes the possible naming of an interim president
at the flagship campus. The start time of two point
thirty follows the ceremonial groundbreaking of the Appland Center. The
two hundred and fifty million dollars complex at Welburn Road

(21:54):
and John kimbro Boulevard will serve as a learning laboratory
for hospitality and related fields in the College of Agriculture

Speaker 7 (23:06):
Good Morning, six thirty eighty s the info Anix. It's
say Thursday. Let's have a look at our weather. Brought

Speaker 8 (23:40):
Right now, the number nine Texas A and M Volleyball
won at six straight match, taking down the South Carolina
game Cocks last night. We'll talk about that and more
coming up in sports Chelsea. I guess that wasn't a surprise.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Well, okay, so it's it's interesting I've been to I've
actually called a game in South Carolina back on I
travel with the team. It is a equivalent to a
middle school practice gym oh that the volleyball team plays
in if they're still playing in the same place, and
I'm pretty sure they are. Basketball teams obviously play in
the massive arena that they have, but they the volleyball team,

(24:14):
they choose to play in this very very tiny, like
you know, pull out bleachers esque type stuff, and they
pack it and it is a very difficult place to play.
So it's kind of one of those trap games on
the road. So I'm not a surprise that we won it,
just it was one of those I woke up this
morning and looked and kind of with one eye open,

(24:35):
was like, please, please, please, don't let that be an upset,
So yeah, glad they were able to take care of business.
It was close in the first set and they actually
dropped a set, but I'm glad they were able to
pull it out.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
So yeah, right, glad to hear that. Hey, we're giving
away stuff that we're giving away tickets actually to two events.
So we have tickets for that's the Texas Renaissance Festival,
which really hasn't started yet. Of course. The other one
has any that's the Brasses Valley Fair and Rodeo that's
coming Upctober seventeenth and eighteenth seventeenth through the nineteenth. But
we've got tickets for both of them. Our question is,

(25:05):
what was the last thing you used duct tape for?

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, let us know Texas with your first in last
name nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
So let's see the last time I used duct tape?
What's today? Thursday? Was Monday?

Speaker 9 (25:17):
Oh wow?

Speaker 7 (25:18):
Okay, it was Monday. Well, because so the shower head
in one of the bathrooms was not performing as it should. Okay,
I think it probably had to do with mineral deposits.
It just kind of happens, because you know, the water
where we are has minerals in it. So what I
did was you take you take vinegar and you put
it in a baggie and you put it up over

(25:40):
the shower heads so that you've soaked the shower head
in vinegar. And then I duct taped it on there.
It held it on there, and I gotcha for about
four or five hours, cut it off, and there we go.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Somebody else used it. Now, they used it to kind
of fix a new shower head. Oh yeah, they were.
They were using that as well.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Well.

Speaker 7 (25:57):
She used plumber's teflon tape.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Well yeah, they They followed up with another text about it,
and I didn't read it. And then it's a few
other people texting in. Somebody said, trying to put an
intenna on my truck. Somebody said, I last attempted to
use duct tape to fix a waterline leak to my house.
Not advisable. Somebody else fixed their genes temporarily. Oh yeah,

(26:20):
so let us know. I don't even think I own
a roll of duct tape right now.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
Used it yesterday for some minor auto body repair.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Ah.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
There you're holding things in place, hold things in place.
It's really interesting. Now you can actually even go into
the home improvement stores and find the duct tape people
are doing well. I don't know that they're all duct tape. Okay,
we shot the duct tape guys on. They were fun.
We have them on once or twice a year to
talk about stuff, and they're you know, they've gone off

(26:49):
and made their money doing something else. But there's so
many other people that make this kind of tape. And
we talked about duct tape and how it got its
name and its uses and all that kind of stuff.
But now you can find at least that kind of
tape in all sorts of colors. Oh yeah, really small,
very expensive rolls, which is smart. Yeah, they're going, oh here,
let's do a hot pink. No, we're not going to

(27:10):
give them the mile of it that we normally do.
We're gonna give them like two hundred feet of it,
and we're gonna charge them a whole lot of money
for it. So from that standpoint, it's a pretty smart
I don't know, and.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I'm sure it happens occasionally, but remember when you know,
it kind of became a thing. People were making like
entire outfits out of duct tape, prom dresses, suits, you know, wallets,
all sorts of things.

Speaker 7 (27:31):
We were traveling and uh, we were in Toronto and
they had in the they had a prom dress made
of duct take right there in the in the window.
The thing is, at that time that gray was the
only color. So I don't know, we'll wear a gray
dress to anything.

Speaker 8 (27:45):
But now with colors, yes, you're right, Well, you could
accessorize and make it pop.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Sure yeah, okay, So you're worried about the fact that
some girls going to wear a gray dress to something,
not that it's made out of duct take. I highly
doubt she cares what color it is if she's willing
to wear duck.

Speaker 7 (28:03):
And the thing is, the prop dress is usually something
that you only wear.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
It's a hot pink duct tape dress. That makes it
so much better.

Speaker 7 (28:11):
But the durability of duc tape means you could hand
it down for generations, right, sure, ah that work? Hey,
so old stuff. Remember when we used to mail letters
to people, you know.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I still do occasionally.

Speaker 9 (28:23):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (28:23):
You actually write their address in the idea middle and
then your address. Maybe you'd go in the upper left
and then in the right hand. There was a stamp,
this thing called a stamp, so that was interesting. Well,
there was a guy named Jimmy Carter, who was a
former president, and they're going to do one of these
things called stamps with his faith on it.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
Stampton in get bound for mailboxes nationwide. Former President Jimmy
Carter now joins the select group of Americans honored by
the United States Postal Service. Jimmy Carter's Forever stamp features
in nineteen eighty two painting a former President Carter by
Herbert Abrams. It debuted Wednesday, on what would have been
mister Carter's one hundred first birthday. His family says his
love for the mail never faded. Jimmy Carter's grandson says

(29:06):
the stamp is a wonderful way to celebrate him, and
the entire family loves it. And you can buy these
stamps at local post offices, but I'm told the best
way to get one is to go to USPS dot
com slash stamps and purchase one there.

Speaker 7 (29:18):
Purchase one.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, yeah, maybe a sheet. It's a very very lovely picture.
It's a very nice stamp. It doesn't hold a candle
to Betty White's, but yeah, it's lovely. So I'm glad
he was able to get his Forever.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
I can safely say that. I've never paid any attention
to whose face was on the stamp. I just used
them for the purpose.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
A lot of people love getting specialty stamps only you know,
around the holidays.

Speaker 7 (29:42):
You know that used to be a thing where you
go get the stamp like that, And because if you're
going to send out Christmas cards. I know this sounds
so archaic, but if you did, you'd like to have
a holiday stamp exactly.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, No, I have right now. I've got in my.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
Drawer.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
I've got Betty White and Amanatee. Oh it was like
Manatee Awareness Month or something. I don't know. It's a
really cute stamp. It's like teal and blue, and yeah
it's pretty. But yeah, those are fun.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
Speaking of wildlife and stuff, Jane Goodall posts, Yeah, she's
universally loved.

Speaker 8 (30:15):
I'd think she was just so incredible just from my
childhood all the way through now. And she was still
doing things. She had something scheduled for like yesterday.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, she was on a speaking engagement when she passed.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
Oh on, she was supposed to go plant trees in
Los Angeles after wildfires. I think yesterday was school children.
But she was widely known for her work with primates
and living in the jungle with them and just you know,
actually just embedding herself with these animals.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, it was really cool. I didn't know this about her.
She published a study showing that chimps used styx as
tools to fish for termites, which challenged the prevailing idea
that humans were the only species capable of using tools.
She also documented the animals communication abilities and complex social behavior.
She really helped establish that they eat meat and even

(31:03):
sometimes fight with one another. Oh yeah, so, I mean
learns just so much about chimpanzees and their behavior, which
obviously we now realize is much closer to ours than
we probably would have known without her.

Speaker 7 (31:15):
And interestingly enough, she once revealed chimpanzees not her favorites.
I learned something scandalous about you, and I'm hoping that's
at the straight.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
I understand the chimps are not your favorite animal.

Speaker 7 (31:27):
No like humans.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
Oh okay, so there are some I love and some
I dislike.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
Okay, well, what is your favorite animal?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Dogs?

Speaker 5 (31:43):
You can't have any more unconditional love than a dog.

Speaker 7 (31:49):
Right, especially especially if your pockets are full of bacon.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
No, you don't need anything.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
You haven't met my dog. So there you go.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
It's really cool too if you think about what she did,
the places she went to in the nineteen sixties and
seventies as a female. Yeah, like you know, it's one
thing to be like, oh, yeah, she did all of
a sudden cre I mean, she was a female scientist
before that was really even a thing. And then to
go to you know, Tanzania in the sixties and work

(32:20):
amongst the chimpanzees just pretty incredible stuff considering her gender too.

Speaker 7 (32:26):
She worked under an anthropologist named Lewis SB. Leaky starting
in nineteen fifty seven. She founded her institute in nineteen
seventy seven and established the youth program Roots and Shoots.
Yeah anyhow, ninety one years old, she passed away.

Speaker 8 (32:45):
Good morning, I'm will Welch with your morning sports updates.
On sixteen, twenty ninety four, five WTA WI, the number
nine Texas A and M volleyball team won its sixth
straight matches it down the South Carolina game Cocks last
night at the Carolina Volleyball Center. The Aggies secured their
best start to conference play since twenty twenty, winning their

(33:05):
third consecutive league match. An m's logan Ledniki and Kendall
Stowers led the offense with eighteen kills each, while a
Fennecassack Palla recorded her second double digit block game of
conference play. The Murdy and White stay on the road
as they had to Tuscaloosa for a Sunday match against
the Crimson Tide First Serve cent for two PM. Texas

(33:26):
A and M's Mario Crab was added to the watch
list for the Bolitnikoff Award, it was announced yesterday, which
is annually presented to the outstanding receiver in college football. Crab,
a sophomore from Birmingham, Alabama, has emerged as one of
the nation's most dangerous receiving threats. He leads the SEC
in receiving yards per game and ranks number two nationally

(33:47):
with an average of one hundred and nineteen point three yards. Additionally,
he ranks number seven in punt returns at twenty point
three yards per return. The first Cotton Holdings Lone Star
Showdown point of the season, he is up for grabs,
says The A and M soccer team hosts the Texas
Longhorns tonight seven o'clock at Ellis Field. Here's Coach g.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
There's no gimmes in this league, So you've got to
continue your positive steps forward to like I said, breakthrough,
and we're so darn close. That's the big thing.

Speaker 8 (34:17):
The match airs nationally on the SEC Network. The Aggies
most a twenty one seven and two edge in the
all time series. Texas A and in Baseball begins fall
exhibition action Friday night with a twelve inning scrimmage against
Sam Houston, starting at six o'clock at Olson Field at
Bluebell Park. Admission and parking are free to the public
and concessions will be open. The Houston Astros were the

(34:40):
most successful team in twenty twenty five when it comes
to video review challenges. They were successful in seventy one
point nine percent of their challenges. Texas and Baltimore had
the lowest success rate at forty point four percent. As
the Texans get ready to take on the Baltimore Ravens
this weekend, the odds are so 's winging to Houston's favor.

(35:02):
With an injury update to Ravens QB Lamar Jackson that
has him missing this game and perhaps others, the odds
have taken the Texans from an underdog to a slight
favorite this contest is slated for noon on Sunday. Dallas
Cowboys receiver Cede Lamb has been seen without a walking
boot for the first time since suffering a high ankle
sprain last week against Green Bay. While there's no firm

(35:23):
return date for Lamb, he has not been placed on
injured reserve, which makes it sound like the Cowboys expect
him back on the field sooner rather than later and him.
Consolidated and Rudder High Football both enjoy a bye this week,
but there is still plenty of area high school football
action on tap. Tomorrow night. Lugerville Hendrickson travels to College
Station High. The Vikings are on the road versus copperce Cove.

(35:46):
For all the schedules, scores, and standings, just go to
Brasssfootball dot com. That's your morning sports update. On sixteen
twenty ninety four to five WTAW, I'm will welch sixteen.

Speaker 7 (35:58):

weather and it's brought you this morning by Malick and Carrier.
They can keep your home comfortable, your business do no
matter what the temperatures are outside Malick feel the difference.
Ninety four for a high temperature today. Look for a
low temperature tonight, probably about sixty nine again this morning

(36:20):
this morning. Tomorrow will look at temperatures that are pretty
similar as far as Friday night's concerned. If you're going
to maybe first Friday, sixty seven for our low and
maybe a little chillier, who knows when you get to midnight, Yelle.
On Saturday, high temperature will be ninety the low temperature
will be about sixty seven, and we're cooking at sixty
six degrees right now. I know this is probably a
record that a lot of people would have liked to

(36:42):
have broken, but the random record for the day. The
world record for human mattress dominoes was set two years
ago this month in the Philippines.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Human mattress dominoes Okay.

Speaker 7 (36:53):
Twenty three hundred and fifty five people toppled over mattresses
with its massive chain reaction. The event was all annized
by a mattress company to celebrate its fifty fifth anniversary,
and the number of participants reflected both the year and
the milestone. Twenty three for twenty twenty three, and fifty
five for the anniversary.
