Chelsea Reber. One person was killed and another is hospitalized
(00:25):
in critical condition following a three vehicle collision yesterday. This
took place on Highway thirty near Hardy Wheedon Road. The
preliminary investigation from Brian Police says the person who was
killed was driving a pickup that rear ended one suv,
then went into oncoming traffic and was hit by a
second suv. Brian Police continues to look for those responsible
for shooting a Brenda man to death earlier this week.

Jaguar Drive. Brazo's County Commissioner Juck Coonderla tells listeners on
our show that he's excited to see acting County Judge
(01:09):
Kyle Cassel running for the permanent position and next year's election.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Probably one of the worst things you can say in
his presence is this is the way we've always done it.
That would you know, it's rare to see Kyle scal
but he's sure scowls at.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That another county judge candidate in next year's election. Former

The College Station City Council is introduced to this year's
representative from Texas A and M Student Government Association. Ansley Broadwell,
class of twenty twenty six, is SGA's vice president for
municipal Affairs. Speaking at the council's last regular meeting, Broadwell
said one of her goals is community engagement.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I was on big event staff going out serving the community,
and I want to make that a bigger opportunity for students,
get them more involved beyond just one day.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Of the year. Another goal is the future development of
the Northgate district.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Figuring out how we can work on making that more
of a permanent area and how we can figure out
the land development issues as well. So we will also
be coming up with the land development Plan to help
students and the city find a solution to that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Broadwell also said many students are not happy with all
the high rise housing in the Northgate district.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Governor Abbott will.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Be among those on the Texas A and M campus

Appland Center. The two hundred and fifty million dollar complex

than three years ago by Bucky's Store founder Arch Applin
Construction is scheduled for completion in February of twenty twenty eight.
A large building on the north side of downtown Bryan
(03:10):
has been renovated, and today, on the twentieth anniversary of
First Friday, is the opening of what was the Kimball
feed Store and is now a cultural and event center.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
The cultural event Center is really meant to be a
showcase space for the community or arts and culture or events.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Cassidy Barton, who owns the building with Christy Petty, says
parts of the century old building have been repurposed.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
We hope that people who have been too that went
to the kimblefeed Store might still walk in and feel
like a sense of recognition because you'll see clay block walls,
you'll see some concrete floors, lots of monts of wood.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Located on North Maine at Pruit, the Kimball's grand opening
event starts this evening at six WTAW. News time is
seven minutes after eight. It's sixty nine degrees. News is
presented by David's Jewelry and Coin Exchange. More news at

Reeber for sixteen, twenty ninety four. To five wtaw.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
It is eight o eight. It's a Friday, asc infomaniacs,
thanks for being here. Let's have a look at our weather.
It's brought to you this morning by Unandi Roofing and
sheet Metal, home of the Dura Last roof system world's
best roof Can we call it two six eight roof
Go to United Roofing Pros dot Com. High temperature today,
tomorrow and on Sunday probably going to be in ninety
ninety one something like that. Low temperatures will be in
the upper sixties. No mention to RN in the forecast
(04:29):
where it's sixty nine degrees right now. It was on
this date in seventeen eighty nine that George Washington proclaimed
the very first Thanksgiving. Well so was until November that
it happened. But this date, sixty five years ago, the
Andy Griffith Show premiered on CBS. Lasted eight seasons reruns
(04:51):
continue to this day.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Was eight seasons? Was that a pretty long run for
shows in this today?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was?
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Okay, is more than average?
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Well, we had a lot more episodes per season back then.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yes, that's also true. Yeah, now we only knew about
twelve or so, and they were doing about twice that
many back. Ye. Yeah, sure, but clearly this thing has
continues to work. I mean, it's the reruns are still there.
Talked to Bill Oliver, you know he went to I
think visited last year. Yes, it was last year Mount Airy,
North Carolina. Yep, which is kind of what Mayberry is.
(05:22):
They've decided. Yep, this is what Andy thought Mayberry should be.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
They had like a Mayberry Drive and things like that. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
The interesting story behind that is that that was actually
a spin off show. The Danny Thomas Show was the show,
and Danny Thomas lived in New York, married with two kids,
I think, and I don't remember what his job was,
but that was the show, and he did this episode
(05:49):
where he goes off into North Carolina and gets a
speeding ticket, and so he goes in to pay the
speeding ticket and there's Andy Taylor, who's the sheriff, and
then he says, well, I need to see the judge,
and then he turns the name plate around and he's
the judge as well. There we go, and it was
(06:09):
Andy Griffith was a was a fairly big star on Broadway,
had done some stuff before, and then he ends up
being this thing who exists to this day. And it
was on this date thirty years ago that OJ Simpson
was found not guilty.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Wow, I believe thirty years ago.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
It's we decided on our show at that time we
would not mention his name. We would not do that
at all, simply because it was one of those situations
if you cared about it enough, you could go find
it someplace else, right, And I like to do that
even to this day. There's a lot of stuff out
there that you can go find someplace else. And so,
but that was thirty years ago, and a bunch of folks, well,
(06:49):
I mean I happen to be up here. They had
it on in the break room right about the noontime.
I guess when they announced the verdict. And so there
you go. Hey, we didn't really mention it. A and
M soccer team has not had a good start to
their scenes.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
They've been a little rough.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
It's not been good.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
So this is why they celebrated so big last night.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Yeah, that was a big, big win for the program.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Massive win. Yeah, love that for them and always always
good to get a win against that other people exactly right.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Governors in town today, yep, yep, gonna do the BUCkies arena.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Now I happened because I was watching the show The
Game on TV last week, the A and M commercial
promotional commercial. There's Bucky he's right there.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah, oh nice.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yeah, he's holding got his Aggie ring. They show it
close up as he's drinking out of his BUCkies coat.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
If he's not going to put a BUCkies in college station.
This is about as good as.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
It gains, I would think. So so interesting audio you
had today about the A and M student saying and
again there are a lot of students over there, but
some are really not happy with the high rise life
in north.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yeah, that's what that's what she said.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You know, obviously those are not cheap places to live, no,
and so you know, it increases the price of living
around there.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
And actually Northgate probably used to be one of the least.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's places to live, I mean, you know, and and
some of those apartments are not you know, not all
that great around there.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
But then they.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Started getting newer apartments built. I mean even when I
was in school there were new places going in. But
they weren't high rises, right, they were they were nicer,
so they were you were you were bettering that area.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
They had the amenities.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yat correct, you were bettering that area, but you were
still keeping the the quote unquote charm of Northgate. And
now it does it looks like a completely different place.
I mean, anyone who hasn't been, you know, in College
Station or driven down by Northgate in the last couple
of years, if they show up this weekend, they're gonna go,
wait what yeah, crazy and so and so yeah, and
(08:46):
she mentioned, you know, it's increasing prices and we just
don't like the look of it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
It doesn't look like your charming bar district anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
No, and and there you know, there are a lot
of schools who are able to maintain that if they can.
You know, the price of dirt just got so expensive
that you it just people. There are a lot of
churches there. I mean churches have given up their land,
ye exactly. And so as a result they've they've gone.
And uh, it's it's big and of course good for
the city as far as revenue and that sort of
(09:16):
stuff is concerned a lot of infrastructure under the ground
that we don't see that that cost a lot. But
there's no doubt that the city of College Station likes
having high rises. But interesting to have a young person
talk about quality of life.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
Oh almost heart my heart.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Yeah, because all folks go and they'll know, they'll no
doubt say the quality of life has changed dramatically from
when they were students. And I actually, Jackie and I
actually went to a station function last time. I imagine
that that doesn't happen that it was good.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Well, boycotted since to be lost.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Oh yeah, I know what that's the thing. He So
Ben gets up there, Ben downs, the general manager, gets
up there and starts speaking, and he says, uh, with us,
here is Brian Christopher from Peace. He was a Best
of the brass Is Valley winner. I wanted to boo
at that point, but I thought, can you.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Imagine booing the Christian family radius.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Look would have been negative.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
If I was there with you, we could have done it.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Yes, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
We know we we would have been missed.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
I know so.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
But anyway, we got a chance to celebrate those folks
because Best of the Brasses is twenty five years old.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Man, that's wild. Yeah, I didn't realize it had been
going on that long.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yes, we were the first. I don't care that other
people decided to hitchhike off this idea. Other media outlets
decided to do this too. We were the first. We're
glad to say we were the first.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
And yes, it was.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
It was fun to be able to be there. And
then tonight is the twentieth anniversary of first Friday and Down.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
And the Kimballs finally opening. Yeah, I'm excited for them.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, that'll hopefully that'll that'll go well. But yeah, twentieth
anniversary of first Frame. I didn't know that had been
going on that long.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Yeah, it really is. And they, you know, the thing
was and it continues to this. The look of downtown
Brian is changing.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Yeah. Back in the day, Scott, it was a place
you didn't want to go.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Yeah, right, and that's you know a lot of magnificent job.
Yeah they have. And I spent some time on the
Downtown Brian board and you know, talking about being able
to make some density, build some density down there, and
slowly but surely they're getting some. It still has not
reached I think what it can be.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And well, and I don't know, you weren't here and
we did a little bit on this, but the Farmer's
Market in downtown Brian has moved.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
It's now in Midtown Park, huh so.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
And the reason because is that space where they typically
set up is going to be developed in the near future,
and they knew that that space was going to be
temporary ended up lasting longer than they expected.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
They were there for ten years.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But they have now moved kind of over to where
the Movie bowlgrill complex that is still being constructed is.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
There's some parking lots over there, and so that is
where the farmer's market is.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So if you're looking to go to the Braws's Alli
farmers Market, that is in now in Midtown Park, same hours,
same area, you know, not same area, same hours, same
vendors and things like that. But they're really excited about
that move. It's been there for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Yeah, there's lots of room to grow out there.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
That's good. Yeah they Hey, they have popcorn there. They're popping. Yeah,
that's the there's we go down there and do that
from time time you think the puppy doing that. But
I'm glad that you reminded me that they'd move, because
we'd driven to downtown n there just you know, where
do all the tents go that's exactly right. Where are
they so? Anyhow, so weekend plans? What do you got played?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Will?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I'm not a whole lot. We don't have a high
school football game tonight. Be watching the game, hopefully with
some friends tomorrow evening on the old TV. I've got
guests down at the Airbnb, and I've still got some
work to do down there, maybe mowing a little bit.
A friend let me borrow his mower because mine threw
a blade this week through it blade. Yeah, among other things.
It's a three blade mower and one of them is gone,
(12:57):
just flat disappeared.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Okay, So but it could have shot out someplace and
hit something for you.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Yeah, that's probably good to get gone out from under
the deck without hitting the deck the tires, and I
was adjacent to a thick wooded area. I didn't hit
any trees. I mean I looked everywhere for that thing. Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
All right, Chelsey, Yeah, you know nothing tonight. No Aggie volleyball,
So that'll be nice. I've kind of a Friday afternoon
and evening to myself. We'll probably listen to some murder
podcast and by number and tomorrow I'll row in the morning,
get a little sweat in and then may do some
tailgating tomorrow. I haven't done that yet this year, so
(13:33):
you know, it's still gonna be a little warm. But
may may walk around and see if some people are
out there making some good food. And then yeah, obviously
I will be working the game tomorrow night, and then Sunday.
My dad's birthday is next week, and so Sunday is
probably the best day that we can all get together
as a family, so we'll actually spend some time just
celebrating him on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
All right, So gift gift, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
And then I actually thought I was ahead of the game.
I did. I ordered some thing online.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And then when Mom said, oh, we're going to be
celebrating a little early, I go, okay, So that may
not get here on time.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
That's fine, we do.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Dottie and I have already purchased a card, and you know,
we take cards very seriously in the Reaber family, so
the card is a pretty epic. We found a really
good one this year, so we will at least have
that and most likely win that contest on Sunday.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Contest.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's always a contest in the Reaber household. There is
everything is a competition.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
The best card available. Yeah, yeah, I understand. What about
you headed over the woodlands. There's a couple of things
over there, and that's about it. That'll be on the
probably Sunday.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I guess, okay, Well, on your drive, you should have
definitely listened to the new Taylor Swift album Have you
got to Stay in the Note?
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Have I?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Yes, I've listened to it from start to finish this morning.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It drives good because it drips. It's only twelve songs. Yes,
it dropped at midnight. I was not awake at midnight.
But when I woke up this morning, I typically use
my morning to drink my coffee and read or you know,
catch up on some social media, and so this morning
I just I turned it on and I listened to
the whole thing. I had to finish a couple songs
once I got to work, but it's only twelve songs
(15:09):
from start to finish, so it's not you know, I
think forty one minutes.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Is the whole length of the record.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
So I'm a fan on first listen and listen. I
when it comes to music, I listen, and.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
If I like it, I like it. If I don't
I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I don't necessarily analyze it and go through all the lyrics.
I mean, there's already plenty out there right now. What
I did, I listened. I also watched she has already
done an interview with a British radio station, and so
I watched that on YouTube this morning and I thought
was really cool. She talks about when she releases albums,
(15:44):
she has been working on them for a while now, right,
and so the album that she releases, she is typically
at a completely different point in her life than the
music that she's releasing. So she goes, it can be
a little awkward when I go and I promote an
album and I'm talking about the songs and what they
mean to me, because although they meant something to me
in that moment, I may be in a totally different
(16:04):
point in my life. She goes, this album is still
a complete snapshot of where I am right now, and
that's probably the first time that's ever happened to me.
And she really loves that obviously, and a lot of
it was written and created behind the scenes of her
eras tour. But this was also while she was dating Travis,
and so I mean, not every song is about him,
(16:27):
but there are several and it's just like a beautiful
love note to her future husband.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
She's mine. So she's thirty six, Okay, all right, So
that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Her stage of life now is that she's settled down
a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
It's a little bit more consistent.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yes, yeah, well, and that's the thing. She has so
much money and so much power and influence that the
world can pretty much be the way she wants it
to be, and that probably does there was there's less chaos.
I don't know, chaos. I don't know enough about her
to know, but yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Mean, she's definitely been ups and downs. Yep, breakups obviously.
You know, a lot of her music has been about
ex boyfriends and things like that. And there's still a
little chaos on this album, but for the most part, yeah,
it's just kind of a beautiful version of the story
of her life.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Right now.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Are the songs in the correct order as far as
you're concerned, Oh.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And you know, the very so the very first song
is the one you'll hear on the radio if you're
listening to our sister station Candy ninety five. Fate of
Ophelia is the name of that one, and so that's
the that because she didn't release any singles ahead of time,
this is they all. You know, everybody heard them for
the first time on the album that just launched, and
so that'll be the one on the radio, which it's good.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The very last song is the only song that she
collabed with and Sabrina Carpenter is on that song and
it's the Life of a show Girl.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
That's the name of it.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
So I liked the order, I you know, I liked
the vibe. I liked the songs. Again, I've only listened
through it once, but yeah, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
So will. How often have you bought an album on
the first day of release?
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Actually a couple, at least a couple of times. Yeah,
typically with my favorite band, but it's not something that
I go, what's your favorite. It's been called Widespread Panic
that has been around since the mid eighties and they
have a traveling following much like The Grateful Dead. Okay,
but you know, typically when they drop something, I'll get
on it pretty quick. But I don't have to be
(18:22):
the first guy to download it.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
So a friend of my boughs Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club band the day that he came out. Wow, And
I remember sitting in his at his house he lived
right around the corner from me, sitting in his house
listening to that all the way through. Yeah. Track, yeah,
absolutely track.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
This is one of the first albums in a long
time that I have listened to just start to finish
in one.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
That's the thing now, Yeah, I can talk about it,
Will can talk about I don't know, Chelsea, before did
you buy albums and track them on as soon as
you heard them?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I would buy CDs. Yeah, so I would buy CDs,
you know. I remember I had like the n Sync
CD and the Britney Spear CD or one of them.
Obviously they have multiple albums. Nowadays with streaming, you know,
you just pre save on Spotify, and that's what I did. So, like,
as soon as I opened my Spotify this morning, it
came up What I Love And Lady Gaga played.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
A huge role in this.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Spotify used to automatically shuffle albums whenever you would download it,
and so Lady Gaga like went to town trying to
get them to change. Now obviously, as a user, you
could go in and change that. But if people didn't
know better, they were just listening to the songs all
out of order.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
And she was like, no, no, no, no, As.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Artists, we we order. We put these songs in it
for a reason exactly. And so that has now changed,
thank you, Lady Gaga. And so yeah, so this morning
I mean again. And the thing is Taylor Swift's her
last few albums have been so long, like so, and
then she's released like a second half that was like
thirty more songs, and so it was tough to get
(20:01):
through everything. And that's what I really appreciate about this one.
It is it is one story one through twelve, and
there will be no bonus tracks, like, no crazy additions like.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
This is what she wanted.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
No, I love again. And she's at the point in
her careishian do things just the way she ow?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Oh absolutely So yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
I guess tomorrow Monday will know that it probably set
a record of being downloaded twenty four million.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Times or so.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
WTAW news time is eight thirty one, It's seventy one degrees.
Good morning, Happy Friday. I'm Chelsea reberb. There are now
at least two men who plan to run for Bras's
County judge next year. The latest announcement from acting County
Judge Kyle Cassell was among the topics brought up during
current Commissioner Chuck Connerla's visit.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
On our show.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
He announced that he'll be running for judge in the
next term, so the March twenty sixth primary, his name
will be on that ballot.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Former Brian City councilman Mike Sutherland has been advertising that
he'll be running for county judge since before Duwayne Peters
recently announced he's retiring next year. This morning, ceremonial groundbreaking
on the Texas A and M campus of the Appland
Center will include the Governor. The two hundred and fifty
million dollar complex, which is scheduled to open in February
of twenty twenty eight, includes a fifty million dollar gift
(21:13):
that was made more than three years ago by Bucky
Store founder arch Aplin. An email from the Governor's office
does not say whether he will stay on campus after
the groundbreaking for a special meeting of the Board of
Regents where they could name an interim president of the
flagship campus. At their last regular meeting, the College Station
City Council heard from this year's representative of Texas A
and M Student Government Association.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Student Government is committed to working collaboratively with the city
and with students. We want to find a solution that
serves residents, the city and students of today and for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
SGA's Vice president for Municipal Affairs, Annsley Broadwell, said that
student housing is an issue that plagues a lot of students.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I think students are not the happiest with all of
the high rise apartments going up and they think that
that is going to make the cost of living higher
and also to take away from Northgate and potentially take
away that College Station charm that is the Northgate district.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Northgate is one of three SGA goals with College Station
this year, along with parking and community engagement. College Station
city staff is asking the city council to take another
swing at developing land that was rejected as a data center.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Background information for next Thursday's council meeting says an unidentified
company wants to build a fifty five million dollar baseball
complex behind the Costco store. The proposal calls for the
city to contribute at least fifteen million dollars and either
give or least eighty acres of land. What's nicknamed Southern
Roots Baseball would have a thirty eight hundred seat stadium
(22:39):
and eight more all turf fields. The developer also proposes
building an integrated baseball academy where one hundred students would
also take junior college classes on site. The city's chief
development officer told the council to consider how this project
might impact the previously approved addition of baseball fields at
Veterans Park Bill Oliver sixteen twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Wtaw Brian Police is investigating a three vehicle collision that
killed one driver and left a second driver hospitalized in
critical condition. No names have been released from yesterday's crash
on Highway thirty near Hardy Wheaton Road. The driver of
a pickup was killed after rear ending one suv, which
sent the truck into oncoming traffic and struck a second suv.
(23:21):
The driver of the second suv went to the hospital.
The driver of the first suv was not injured. The
murder of A Brenna Mann and Wes Bryan on Monday
morning followed a physical altercation involving three people. That's an
update from Brian police as they continued to look for
those involved in the shooting death of De Brandon Charles.
Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the altercation
that led to gunfire outside homes on Jaguar Drive. A
(23:45):
special meeting of the Brian City Council is taking place
this afternoon. The only agenda item is to visit in
private about personnel items that include the possible hiring of
a city manager. The grand opening of a renovated century
old grocery store and warehouse building on the north side
of downtown Brian is tonight, best known as the Kimball
feed Store. Cassidy Barton and Christy Petty turned it into
(24:05):
a cultural and event center.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
You would also see wonderful art and you know, lots
of music and news and information about interesting organizations and
student groups and things like that that are here in Brian.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Marton says the venue is set up for live performances,
smaller scale.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Theater and dance performances, music if we have artists that
are local and interested in potentially exhibiting work.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Tonight's grand opening event begins at six at the Kimball

Speaker 8 (26:02):
What do you think weekend's a great idea? Yeah, yeah,
it really would be.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
You got We got the judge in this morning.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
Huh yeah, straight from the College Station Municipal court.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
We have Edsplaine judge.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I'm the sheriff, I'm you're Andy Griffin. No, I'm not
the sheriff.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
That's it's just a judge here.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Harvard doing pretty well in football, yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
Two and oh you know they start September twentieth. They
wait for fall and they two and.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
O are you going to get to see a game
this year anyway in person or.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
On twenty I went to Boston. I hadn't been in
a while, about a month ago, and really enjoyed it.
So I need to get up there. I need to,
But yeah, it's too long.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
One of my kids up there one time and I
told the story. We ate up there and they have
I think the dining hall is next to a place
where they have Harvard grads entombed and you see people
who fought in the Revolutionary were buried there. It's an
old school. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. Hey, what
are we here to talk about today?
Speaker 8 (26:56):
Well?
Speaker 9 (26:56):
Number one warn amnesty coming up October thirteenth. It's a
bi annual we do it twice a year if you
have a warrant. Unfortunately, people we send them text messages
and try to get people in. But if you have
a warrant, or you think you might have a warrant,
then need to come to our court because we'll waive
the warrant fee, which is going up from fifty dollars
(27:18):
to seventy five bucks. But also more importantly, you won't
get arrested. So we really work to get people to
come in.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Well, you know smart, that's a that's a big increase.
But you know what, these are people who have they've
broken the law, and so I don't mind putting an
extra it's costly.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
Yeah, and no one, I don't care what your political stripe.
No one really wants to put people in jail from
the class c's, but people do ignore it their criminal violations,
and so we do everything to get them in.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
So the process is you can go and look and
see if you have something against.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
You, right, Yeah, you can go to our CSTX dot
gov slash courts and you can look at it. We
have a warrant you know online you can call our
court and we'll let you know if you have a
you know, warrant or your roommate has a warrant whatever.
You know, it's public information. But we do want to
get people in and a lot and we've learned with
the text messages, everyone's.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Not hiding out.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
They just put that ticket in the glove compartment, think
it may go away, and then you know, it doesn't
go away and they and they need to come in.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
So from a technological standpoint, clearly text is more intrusive
than a letter in the mail that might not even
get open. So what what difference has that made? It?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Just you know, it's just kind of like doctor's offices
or you make a restaurant, you know, you get a
million texts they work.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
I guess people just look at that.
Speaker 9 (28:33):
Now, the cell phone is the number one thing that
I want the police to get from people because that's
you know, people move around here, especially in you know
where we live, and so the cell phone is just
what everyone looks at. So we use the tech. So
we do that to get people, and that really does.
It's effective and it's a lot better for everyone than
(28:54):
making warrants sending out mail. In fact, now courts are
almost wanting electronic filing and all that. You know, they
really don't want courts to meet. There's a new law
that says if someone wants a court to mail some
it's like twenty five dollars or something.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
You know.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
So it's we're kind of slow because everyone else is
really kind of digital.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
So again, remind them of the dates.
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Is that you've got told this October thirteenth, and the
end date is easy to remember. It's Halloween kings on
a Friday, the thirty first, and that's when it ends
and then they do what's called kind of a warrant
round up, where for about ten days November first to
ninth or so, chances are if you didn't come in,
officers will be focusing and looking for people with warrants.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
How long we've been doing this.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
We've been doing it since I've been a judge, since
two thousand and two. We made it twice a year
because it's more popular and actually Spring brings in more
people coming in, maybe because attacks returns or whatever. But
we've been doing it for twenty five maybe thirty years.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Sure, antidote lating, you didn't come in necessarily talk about this,
but let's talk weird. We had student speaking before City
City Council talking about the density at Northgate. Hell, that's
not the lifestyle that a lot of people want there.
But tell me what the density at College Station has
done to your court.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
You know, one out of six mips minor and Possession
of alcohol filed in Texas has filed in our court.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
And while we have a lot of underage.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Students, it's way and it's almost for the most part
coming from North Gate. And I just looked this past Monday,
we had sixty minor and possession cases filed sixty Wow,
and that's with a couple of bars that had produced
quite a bit had closed down. But there's about thirty
thousand from what you know living around north Gate and
the next few we have like three home weekend games,
(30:41):
and it's just almost a right of passage, it seems.
And so I see them, I let them know. You know,
I get really kind of when we get an MIP second,
because that clearly either someone has an alcohol problem or
they just haven't learned the lesson right. But it is
a big factor.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
We're seeing a lot of that.
Speaker 9 (30:58):
We're still seeing the high speed case too, but the alcohol,
especially from Northgate, has been some that's still affecting our court.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
And I see quite a bit, and I teach them how.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
To clear their record, and we do all sorts of things.
So there's a good in the long run with it
for most of the people I see who are going
to be great, responsible citizens, but still some that really
affects our court.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Yeah, I know you're a good guy for doing that.
Like you say, if you get the second one, yeah,
and then we may have identified a problem. Yes, that's
important to do too, because that's that's what happens anything
else this morning from your court.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
That's pretty much. That's pretty much it.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
Like I said, you know, the high speed thing we're
still seeing, so hopefully people watch the pedal and that
lot of construction going on. I know that gets people
upset and things, but it's uh, it's all for the
good in one way. But you'll get there eventually.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
All right, thanks so much. What else you got?
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Well? National Night Out is next Tuesday.
Speaker 10 (31:48):

City College station Friday. It's eight forty six. It's the
infomai X on a Friday. We were just talking about
him earlier this week. FX has ordered a pilot for
the comedy Very Young Frankenstein, starring Zach Gallifan Akis as
doctor Frankenstein. Okay, interesting, cass includes comeal the Giohnny. I
(32:32):

they're Spencer House, Nicky Crawford. Oh but Carrie Elwe's who's
done nothing since Princess Briane basically has he? I mean
I'm not sure. Yeah, he'll portray the President of the
United States. I don't know how that works into the
Very Young Frankenstein. But the plot inspiration from mel Brooks
(32:52):
Gene Wilder's film Young Frankenstein. Those specific plot details are
undisclosed at this time. The writer will execute to try
to produce this thing, and anyway, it's called Very Young Frankenstein.
It looks like mel Brooks is going to be the
executive producer.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
So then he's doing a lot. Yeah, he's coming he's
coming back with space Balls too. Yeah, that's coming out too.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
And he's old he can do that.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Interesting that Frankenstein is kind of having a moment because
there was, you know, a film just released at the
very end of August called Frankenstein with Jacob A. Lordie
and it's like a horror sci fi movie. I think
it's on Netflix. You can watch it there unless you
canceled it because Babysitters Club.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
So it's called Frank the Classic Frankenstein that we know.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I guess it sounds like I mean, I think it's
just a redo, like it's just an updated version.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
We'll see how that happens. Everybody Loves Raymond going to
be a thirtieth anniversary special coming up on you.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
Yeah, we touched on that. He left yesterday. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Yeah, that's kind of fun. Did you do the Peaky
Blinders thing?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
I No, we didn't because I didn't have that news yesterday.
Speaker 7 (33:58):
Yeah, do you have?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Now?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Have you seen it? There's a spinoff?
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
So well somebody somebody was and we were having a
conversation on social media about the House of Guinness situation,
and then they said they they sent me the news
that there was.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
What did you say, it's a spinoff?
Speaker 7 (34:14):
I didn't look at it.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
So it was announced by Netflix and BBC. The series
will focus on the next generation of the Shelby family. Okay,
it's said in nineteen fifty three, will explore city rising
from the ashes of the Birmingham Blitz. Netflix has already
committed to two seasons on this The series is separate
from The Immortal Man, which is the movie continuing the
(34:37):
Peaky Blonder saga. Right, Uh, Killian Murphy.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Is that his name? Yes?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
And I saw that he is producing it, and I said,
as long as he is involved, yeah, it'll most likely
be really good.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
That means he's going to work hard to yes, to keep.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
It where it was, because yeah, he is the reason
that that show is as as amazing as it is.
Speaker 8 (34:54):
This excites me very much.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Same.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
So Brooks Shields is returning for When Calls the Heart
for season thirteen. Oh okay on the Harmark Hallmark channel.
Is a Charlotte Thornton had no idea.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, MAYI anyway unless it's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
I'm not really involved in the Hallmark saga of everything.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
So. Nicole Kidman's August twenty one, two thousand and one
appearance on two thousand and one in The David Letterman
Show is now trending once again because of her recent
split with Keith Urban. During the show, Kidman was promoting
her film The Others and was asked about her divorce
from Tom Cruise. Letterman basically opened with, Hey, I heard
(35:35):
you're getting divorced how's that going, which was kind of
thing a lettermanve we do right, Nicole Kidman's responded with humor.
She said, uh yeah, I get questions about that, but
I also get to wear heels.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Now.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Oh she's taller than Keith.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Oh is that right issue? Oh yeah, I think so at.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Least, and now she may be wearing heels in most
photos that they're scene on, like the red carpet and stuff,
but she's definitely a little taller than I mean, she's
five eleven, yeah, and these men.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Are not tall.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
So am I seeing here that the Life of a Showman?
Is there a video or a movie to go along
with the Life of a Showgirl?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Their girls? That's okay, Yes, there it is film. It's
a film.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It's in theaters, I guess this weekend, tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
This is something where I kind of draw the line, Okay,
I'm not going to go start to do that. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And I'm not even sure if it's I think it
has to do with all of the like behind the
scenes of her tour, the Eras tour, because that's again
when this album was created, and it's kind of about
that time in her life. So I think that's what's
going on. I mean, Taylor doesn't miss an opportunity to
make money.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
That's sixteen twenty ninety four or five wt wt and
for Manix about seven minutes till. So, yes, you may
be tailgating this weekend and you should remember high higher rating.
It's good for you all the time.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
Yeah, definitely. I always drink enough water.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
Yeah, you know, it's something odd. I don't see like
people my parents' age drinking as much water as what
I've been you know, led to should right, which is
really crazy. And interestingly enough, you know, water effects so
much of your life. Do you know it could affect
your sleep?
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Really?
Speaker 8 (37:16):
Yeah apparently.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, it makes me wake up and go to the
back in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
On the other end of.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Things, a study published earlier this year in the sm
Comprehensive Clinical Medicine Journal, researchers found that participants in a
hydrated or dehydrated state slept more but had greater trouble
falling asleep. Okay, so they try to get into the
sleep dynamics thing there. And I have a couple of
friends right now that are suffering from not being able
(37:43):
to go to sleep and almost suggest to them that
they kill a couple of more cups of water. But
then Chelsea, you're right, you end up with it.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Maybe not right before bed. They try to hydrate earlier
in the day, and that may that may be able
to help.
Speaker 8 (37:54):
It's fascinating to me how much water fuels our bodies
and how much a lot of people are.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
It is funny that you say that about like your parents.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I follow a comedian and her mom is probably in
her mid to late seventies, and she always gives her grief.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
She's like, you drink coffee and wine, like I wait, like,
how are you still alive?
Speaker 1 (38:13):
And her mom's like the super healthy, like spry, seventy
six year old woman or you know whatever. But she's like,
I never see you drink water, like what? And then
but like now, you know, we make fun of the
the you know gen z ers who have to have
their emotional support water bottle, like they're out there, you know,
hydrating all the time.
Speaker 7 (38:31):
It's important for it. Yes, So if you're splitting an
appetizer with a friend that could be intimate. There's a
new trend that will knock your socks off. How about
friendship joint bank account.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Oh okay, so when you were gone, we touched on
this too just a little bit. Yes, we did, because
the and we had a but I saw it again
today in the news, so it's obviously something that is
going on.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
The specific example we had were it would.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Be kind of like if Kendall and I had a
joint bank account that we contributed to four our friend trips. Okay,
so it was for and yeah, and so that's what
it was. This woman had sat next to this other
woman on the plane. They got to talking and she said, oh, yeah,
I'm on the way to a trip with my friend.
We saved up together and they got to talking about
these like joint bank accounts.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
But it was for a specific reason a purpose, right.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
The idea of just like sharing a banking account with
a friend for no other reason, that sounds odd to me.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Now, this says many friends say for group trips. Okay,
I questioned the word many.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah, yeah, I do too. I mean Kendall and I
travel a lot together. She also has a friend that
she travels with. You know, they do other things together, right.
And the other thing is is like if you make
a different salary than your friend, or you're even if
you're in the same life stage, but you have two
very different amounts of income. Am I supposed to contribute
(39:59):
less because I make less? Or am I supposed to
contribute more because I make more? Like that would seem fair.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
My problem is in my friend circle, there's about half
of them that I wouldn't trust with it, and the
other half, you know, would be fine with it. And
that's the way that works.
Speaker 7 (40:13):
And I don't know if they're trying to drive the
app here. It says apps like cash app make it
easier for friends to open joint accounts and start saving. So, yeah,
your point about doing a trip or shared experience together,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
But I was kind of like the idea of like
being able to see the amount like for the trip,
right because you know we we obviously we split everything
pretty much right down the middle when we go on trips,
but it would be kind of fun to say, you know, Okay,
every month, we're going to put you know so much
into this account, and then oh, I got a bonus,
so I'm going to throw in a little bit more
because I know it's going to go towards this like
(40:49):
shared experience and then when you go to book the trip,
you're like, hey, look, we've already saved this up.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
That would be a nice feeling.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Typically we're booking trips and we're paying for it right then,
and it's like, oh man, that's gonna be.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
That's not a bad idea, But this part's a head scratcher.
Best buds are signing mortgages together. As as home co
ownership becomes a commonplace thing.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
It's how we can afford homes these days.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
Sure god, yeah, this says prices up fifty six percent
since July have twenty twenty, so five years ago, up
fifty six percent, and up fifteen percent from just a
year ago. Home buyers purchasing houses with a friend or relative,
according to industry reports. Again, man, both of you have
to qualify. That's got to be harder than ever as well.
(41:34):
But some co buyers simply don't have to live alone
if they want to do that.
Speaker 8 (41:38):
I just man, yeah, you gotta have to split it
up at some point in time. That's gonna get it.
Speaker 5 (41:42):
Yeah, right, it could be this supplies.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I could see if you had one of those like
kind of yeah, I mean, y'all know the homes like
they're not they're not as prevalent around here, but up
in the north, like they'll have a home where it
can be divided into like two right, or or somebody's
upstairs and somebody's down and you can rent a bit
something like that. Maybe maybe, but just a normal home
(42:06):
like we have around here, split amongst who gets the
master bedroom.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
Okay, So, and here's now a survey by PASCO. I
don't know who PASCO is. They're oh, a second home
ownership company. Okay, the second home, the vacation home. I
could better see that. Yeah, I could say, all right, guy,
I'm gonna we're gonna buy this house together. My family
will go there this many weeks. Your family will go
there this many weeks. Then we turn it into a
VRBO or an Airbnb for the rest of the time,
(42:32):
to get a manager to handle it. That I could
see if you've got the resources to do that. But man,
just to have younger people sign with their you know,
best friend or whatever to live at, I would think
it's well, that's just about it for our little radio program.
Alcohol consumption has declined throughout the country in the past decade.
(42:54):
In fact, only one state reports an increase in drinking
in the last ten years. Give me tex Is, no Tennessee. Okay,
all right, you guys have a good weekend. Back on Monday.

took place on Highway thirty near Hardy Wheedon Road. The
preliminary investigation from Brian Police says the person who was
killed was driving a pickup that rear ended one suv,

second suv. Brian Police continues to look for those responsible
for shooting a Brenda man to death earlier this week.

our show that he's excited to see acting County Judge
(01:09):
Kyle Cassel running for the permanent position and next year's election.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Probably one of the worst things you can say in
his presence is this is the way we've always done it.
That would you know, it's rare to see Kyle scal
but he's sure scowls at.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That another county judge candidate in next year's election. Former

class of twenty twenty six, is SGA's vice president for
municipal Affairs. Speaking at the council's last regular meeting, Broadwell
said one of her goals is community engagement.

I was on big event staff going out serving the community,
and I want to make that a bigger opportunity for students,
get them more involved beyond just one day.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Of the year. Another goal is the future development of
the Northgate district.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Figuring out how we can work on making that more
of a permanent area and how we can figure out
the land development issues as well. So we will also
be coming up with the land development Plan to help
students and the city find a solution to that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Broadwell also said many students are not happy with all
the high rise housing in the Northgate district.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Governor Abbott will.

A large building on the north side of downtown Bryan
(03:10):
has been renovated, and today, on the twentieth anniversary of
First Friday, is the opening of what was the Kimball
feed Store and is now a cultural and event center.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
The cultural event Center is really meant to be a
showcase space for the community or arts and culture or events.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Cassidy Barton, who owns the building with Christy Petty, says
parts of the century old building have been repurposed.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
We hope that people who have been too that went
to the kimblefeed Store might still walk in and feel
like a sense of recognition because you'll see clay block walls,
you'll see some concrete floors, lots of monts of wood.

Speaker 7 (04:07):
It is eight o eight. It's a Friday, asc infomaniacs,
thanks for being here. Let's have a look at our weather.
It's brought to you this morning by Unandi Roofing and
sheet Metal, home of the Dura Last roof system world's
best roof Can we call it two six eight roof
Go to United Roofing Pros dot Com. High temperature today,
tomorrow and on Sunday probably going to be in ninety
ninety one something like that. Low temperatures will be in
the upper sixties. No mention to RN in the forecast
(04:29):
where it's sixty nine degrees right now. It was on
this date in seventeen eighty nine that George Washington proclaimed
the very first Thanksgiving. Well so was until November that
it happened. But this date, sixty five years ago, the
Andy Griffith Show premiered on CBS. Lasted eight seasons reruns
(04:51):
continue to this day.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Was eight seasons? Was that a pretty long run for
shows in this today?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was?
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Okay, is more than average?
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Well, we had a lot more episodes per season back then.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yes, that's also true. Yeah, now we only knew about
twelve or so, and they were doing about twice that
many back. Ye. Yeah, sure, but clearly this thing has
continues to work. I mean, it's the reruns are still there.
Talked to Bill Oliver, you know he went to I
think visited last year. Yes, it was last year Mount Airy,
North Carolina. Yep, which is kind of what Mayberry is.
(05:22):
They've decided. Yep, this is what Andy thought Mayberry should be.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
They had like a Mayberry Drive and things like that. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
The interesting story behind that is that that was actually
a spin off show. The Danny Thomas Show was the show,
and Danny Thomas lived in New York, married with two kids,
I think, and I don't remember what his job was,
but that was the show, and he did this episode
(05:49):
where he goes off into North Carolina and gets a
speeding ticket, and so he goes in to pay the
speeding ticket and there's Andy Taylor, who's the sheriff, and
then he says, well, I need to see the judge,
and then he turns the name plate around and he's
the judge as well. There we go, and it was
(06:09):
Andy Griffith was a was a fairly big star on Broadway,
had done some stuff before, and then he ends up
being this thing who exists to this day. And it
was on this date thirty years ago that OJ Simpson
was found not guilty.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
Wow, I believe thirty years ago.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
It's we decided on our show at that time we
would not mention his name. We would not do that
at all, simply because it was one of those situations
if you cared about it enough, you could go find
it someplace else, right, And I like to do that
even to this day. There's a lot of stuff out
there that you can go find someplace else. And so,
but that was thirty years ago, and a bunch of folks, well,
(06:49):
I mean I happen to be up here. They had
it on in the break room right about the noontime.
I guess when they announced the verdict. And so there
you go. Hey, we didn't really mention it. A and
M soccer team has not had a good start to
their scenes.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
They've been a little rough.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
It's not been good.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
So this is why they celebrated so big last night.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Yeah, that was a big, big win for the program.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Massive win. Yeah, love that for them and always always
good to get a win against that other people exactly right.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Governors in town today, yep, yep, gonna do the BUCkies arena.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Now I happened because I was watching the show The
Game on TV last week, the A and M commercial
promotional commercial. There's Bucky he's right there.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah, oh nice.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yeah, he's holding got his Aggie ring. They show it
close up as he's drinking out of his BUCkies coat.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
If he's not going to put a BUCkies in college station.
This is about as good as.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
It gains, I would think. So so interesting audio you
had today about the A and M student saying and
again there are a lot of students over there, but
some are really not happy with the high rise life
in north.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yeah, that's what that's what she said.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
You know, obviously those are not cheap places to live, no,
and so you know, it increases the price of living
around there.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
And actually Northgate probably used to be one of the least.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's places to live, I mean, you know, and and
some of those apartments are not you know, not all
that great around there.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
But then they.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Started getting newer apartments built. I mean even when I
was in school there were new places going in. But
they weren't high rises, right, they were they were nicer,
so they were you were you were bettering that area.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
They had the amenities.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yat correct, you were bettering that area, but you were
still keeping the the quote unquote charm of Northgate. And
now it does it looks like a completely different place.
I mean, anyone who hasn't been, you know, in College
Station or driven down by Northgate in the last couple
of years, if they show up this weekend, they're gonna go,
wait what yeah, crazy and so and so yeah, and
(08:46):
she mentioned, you know, it's increasing prices and we just
don't like the look of it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
It doesn't look like your charming bar district anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
No, and and there you know, there are a lot
of schools who are able to maintain that if they can.
You know, the price of dirt just got so expensive
that you it just people. There are a lot of
churches there. I mean churches have given up their land,
ye exactly. And so as a result they've they've gone.
And uh, it's it's big and of course good for
the city as far as revenue and that sort of
(09:16):
stuff is concerned a lot of infrastructure under the ground
that we don't see that that cost a lot. But
there's no doubt that the city of College Station likes
having high rises. But interesting to have a young person
talk about quality of life.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
Oh almost heart my heart.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Yeah, because all folks go and they'll know, they'll no
doubt say the quality of life has changed dramatically from
when they were students. And I actually, Jackie and I
actually went to a station function last time. I imagine
that that doesn't happen that it was good.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Well, boycotted since to be lost.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Oh yeah, I know what that's the thing. He So
Ben gets up there, Ben downs, the general manager, gets
up there and starts speaking, and he says, uh, with us,
here is Brian Christopher from Peace. He was a Best
of the brass Is Valley winner. I wanted to boo
at that point, but I thought, can you.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Imagine booing the Christian family radius.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Look would have been negative.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
If I was there with you, we could have done it.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Yes, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
We know we we would have been missed.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
I know so.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
But anyway, we got a chance to celebrate those folks
because Best of the Brasses is twenty five years old.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Man, that's wild. Yeah, I didn't realize it had been
going on that long.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yes, we were the first. I don't care that other
people decided to hitchhike off this idea. Other media outlets
decided to do this too. We were the first. We're
glad to say we were the first.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
And yes, it was.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
It was fun to be able to be there. And
then tonight is the twentieth anniversary of first Friday and Down.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
And the Kimballs finally opening. Yeah, I'm excited for them.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, that'll hopefully that'll that'll go well. But yeah, twentieth
anniversary of first Frame. I didn't know that had been
going on that long.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Yeah, it really is. And they, you know, the thing
was and it continues to this. The look of downtown
Brian is changing.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
Yeah. Back in the day, Scott, it was a place
you didn't want to go.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Yeah, right, and that's you know a lot of magnificent job.
Yeah they have. And I spent some time on the
Downtown Brian board and you know, talking about being able
to make some density, build some density down there, and
slowly but surely they're getting some. It still has not
reached I think what it can be.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And well, and I don't know, you weren't here and
we did a little bit on this, but the Farmer's
Market in downtown Brian has moved.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
It's now in Midtown Park, huh so.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
And the reason because is that space where they typically
set up is going to be developed in the near future,
and they knew that that space was going to be
temporary ended up lasting longer than they expected.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
They were there for ten years.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But they have now moved kind of over to where
the Movie bowlgrill complex that is still being constructed is.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
There's some parking lots over there, and so that is
where the farmer's market is.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So if you're looking to go to the Braws's Alli
farmers Market, that is in now in Midtown Park, same hours,
same area, you know, not same area, same hours, same
vendors and things like that. But they're really excited about
that move. It's been there for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Yeah, there's lots of room to grow out there.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
That's good. Yeah they Hey, they have popcorn there. They're popping. Yeah,
that's the there's we go down there and do that
from time time you think the puppy doing that. But
I'm glad that you reminded me that they'd move, because
we'd driven to downtown n there just you know, where
do all the tents go that's exactly right. Where are
they so? Anyhow, so weekend plans? What do you got played?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Will?
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I'm not a whole lot. We don't have a high
school football game tonight. Be watching the game, hopefully with
some friends tomorrow evening on the old TV. I've got
guests down at the Airbnb, and I've still got some
work to do down there, maybe mowing a little bit.
A friend let me borrow his mower because mine threw
a blade this week through it blade. Yeah, among other things.
It's a three blade mower and one of them is gone,
(12:57):
just flat disappeared.
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Okay, So but it could have shot out someplace and
hit something for you.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Yeah, that's probably good to get gone out from under
the deck without hitting the deck the tires, and I
was adjacent to a thick wooded area. I didn't hit
any trees. I mean I looked everywhere for that thing. Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
All right, Chelsey, Yeah, you know nothing tonight. No Aggie volleyball,
So that'll be nice. I've kind of a Friday afternoon
and evening to myself. We'll probably listen to some murder
podcast and by number and tomorrow I'll row in the morning,
get a little sweat in and then may do some
tailgating tomorrow. I haven't done that yet this year, so
(13:33):
you know, it's still gonna be a little warm. But
may may walk around and see if some people are
out there making some good food. And then yeah, obviously
I will be working the game tomorrow night, and then Sunday.
My dad's birthday is next week, and so Sunday is
probably the best day that we can all get together
as a family, so we'll actually spend some time just
celebrating him on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
All right, So gift gift, you know.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
And then I actually thought I was ahead of the game.
I did. I ordered some thing online.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And then when Mom said, oh, we're going to be
celebrating a little early, I go, okay, So that may
not get here on time.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
That's fine, we do.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Dottie and I have already purchased a card, and you know,
we take cards very seriously in the Reaber family, so
the card is a pretty epic. We found a really
good one this year, so we will at least have
that and most likely win that contest on Sunday.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Contest.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's always a contest in the Reaber household. There is
everything is a competition.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
The best card available. Yeah, yeah, I understand. What about
you headed over the woodlands. There's a couple of things
over there, and that's about it. That'll be on the
probably Sunday.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I guess, okay, Well, on your drive, you should have
definitely listened to the new Taylor Swift album Have you
got to Stay in the Note?
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Have I?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Yes, I've listened to it from start to finish this morning.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It drives good because it drips. It's only twelve songs. Yes,
it dropped at midnight. I was not awake at midnight.
But when I woke up this morning, I typically use
my morning to drink my coffee and read or you know,
catch up on some social media, and so this morning
I just I turned it on and I listened to
the whole thing. I had to finish a couple songs
once I got to work, but it's only twelve songs
(15:09):
from start to finish, so it's not you know, I
think forty one minutes.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Is the whole length of the record.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
So I'm a fan on first listen and listen. I
when it comes to music, I listen, and.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
If I like it, I like it. If I don't
I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I don't necessarily analyze it and go through all the lyrics.
I mean, there's already plenty out there right now. What
I did, I listened. I also watched she has already
done an interview with a British radio station, and so
I watched that on YouTube this morning and I thought
was really cool. She talks about when she releases albums,
(15:44):
she has been working on them for a while now, right,
and so the album that she releases, she is typically
at a completely different point in her life than the
music that she's releasing. So she goes, it can be
a little awkward when I go and I promote an
album and I'm talking about the songs and what they
mean to me, because although they meant something to me
in that moment, I may be in a totally different
(16:04):
point in my life. She goes, this album is still
a complete snapshot of where I am right now, and
that's probably the first time that's ever happened to me.
And she really loves that obviously, and a lot of
it was written and created behind the scenes of her
eras tour. But this was also while she was dating Travis,
and so I mean, not every song is about him,
(16:27):
but there are several and it's just like a beautiful
love note to her future husband.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
She's mine. So she's thirty six, Okay, all right, So
that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
Her stage of life now is that she's settled down
a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
It's a little bit more consistent.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yes, yeah, well, and that's the thing. She has so
much money and so much power and influence that the
world can pretty much be the way she wants it
to be, and that probably does there was there's less chaos.
I don't know, chaos. I don't know enough about her
to know, but yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Mean, she's definitely been ups and downs. Yep, breakups obviously.
You know, a lot of her music has been about
ex boyfriends and things like that. And there's still a
little chaos on this album, but for the most part, yeah,
it's just kind of a beautiful version of the story
of her life.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Right now.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Are the songs in the correct order as far as
you're concerned, Oh.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And you know, the very so the very first song
is the one you'll hear on the radio if you're
listening to our sister station Candy ninety five. Fate of
Ophelia is the name of that one, and so that's
the that because she didn't release any singles ahead of time,
this is they all. You know, everybody heard them for
the first time on the album that just launched, and
so that'll be the one on the radio, which it's good.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The very last song is the only song that she
collabed with and Sabrina Carpenter is on that song and
it's the Life of a show Girl.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
That's the name of it.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
So I liked the order, I you know, I liked
the vibe. I liked the songs. Again, I've only listened
through it once, but yeah, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
So will. How often have you bought an album on
the first day of release?
Speaker 8 (18:01):
Actually a couple, at least a couple of times. Yeah,
typically with my favorite band, but it's not something that
I go, what's your favorite. It's been called Widespread Panic
that has been around since the mid eighties and they
have a traveling following much like The Grateful Dead. Okay,
but you know, typically when they drop something, I'll get
on it pretty quick. But I don't have to be
(18:22):
the first guy to download it.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
So a friend of my boughs Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club band the day that he came out. Wow, And
I remember sitting in his at his house he lived
right around the corner from me, sitting in his house
listening to that all the way through. Yeah. Track, yeah,
absolutely track.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
This is one of the first albums in a long
time that I have listened to just start to finish
in one.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
That's the thing now, Yeah, I can talk about it,
Will can talk about I don't know, Chelsea, before did
you buy albums and track them on as soon as
you heard them?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I would buy CDs. Yeah, so I would buy CDs,
you know. I remember I had like the n Sync
CD and the Britney Spear CD or one of them.
Obviously they have multiple albums. Nowadays with streaming, you know,
you just pre save on Spotify, and that's what I did. So, like,
as soon as I opened my Spotify this morning, it
came up What I Love And Lady Gaga played.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
A huge role in this.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Spotify used to automatically shuffle albums whenever you would download it,
and so Lady Gaga like went to town trying to
get them to change. Now obviously, as a user, you
could go in and change that. But if people didn't
know better, they were just listening to the songs all
out of order.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
And she was like, no, no, no, no, As.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Artists, we we order. We put these songs in it
for a reason exactly. And so that has now changed,
thank you, Lady Gaga. And so yeah, so this morning
I mean again. And the thing is Taylor Swift's her
last few albums have been so long, like so, and
then she's released like a second half that was like
thirty more songs, and so it was tough to get
(20:01):
through everything. And that's what I really appreciate about this one.
It is it is one story one through twelve, and
there will be no bonus tracks, like, no crazy additions like.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
This is what she wanted.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
No, I love again. And she's at the point in
her careishian do things just the way she ow?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Oh absolutely So yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
I guess tomorrow Monday will know that it probably set
a record of being downloaded twenty four million.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Times or so.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
WTAW news time is eight thirty one, It's seventy one degrees.
Good morning, Happy Friday. I'm Chelsea reberb. There are now
at least two men who plan to run for Bras's
County judge next year. The latest announcement from acting County
Judge Kyle Cassell was among the topics brought up during
current Commissioner Chuck Connerla's visit.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
On our show.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
He announced that he'll be running for judge in the
next term, so the March twenty sixth primary, his name
will be on that ballot.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Former Brian City councilman Mike Sutherland has been advertising that
he'll be running for county judge since before Duwayne Peters
recently announced he's retiring next year. This morning, ceremonial groundbreaking
on the Texas A and M campus of the Appland
Center will include the Governor. The two hundred and fifty
million dollar complex, which is scheduled to open in February
of twenty twenty eight, includes a fifty million dollar gift
(21:13):
that was made more than three years ago by Bucky
Store founder arch Aplin. An email from the Governor's office
does not say whether he will stay on campus after
the groundbreaking for a special meeting of the Board of
Regents where they could name an interim president of the
flagship campus. At their last regular meeting, the College Station
City Council heard from this year's representative of Texas A
and M Student Government Association.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Student Government is committed to working collaboratively with the city
and with students. We want to find a solution that
serves residents, the city and students of today and for tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
SGA's Vice president for Municipal Affairs, Annsley Broadwell, said that
student housing is an issue that plagues a lot of students.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I think students are not the happiest with all of
the high rise apartments going up and they think that
that is going to make the cost of living higher
and also to take away from Northgate and potentially take
away that College Station charm that is the Northgate district.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Northgate is one of three SGA goals with College Station
this year, along with parking and community engagement. College Station
city staff is asking the city council to take another
swing at developing land that was rejected as a data center.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Background information for next Thursday's council meeting says an unidentified
company wants to build a fifty five million dollar baseball
complex behind the Costco store. The proposal calls for the
city to contribute at least fifteen million dollars and either
give or least eighty acres of land. What's nicknamed Southern
Roots Baseball would have a thirty eight hundred seat stadium
(22:39):
and eight more all turf fields. The developer also proposes
building an integrated baseball academy where one hundred students would
also take junior college classes on site. The city's chief
development officer told the council to consider how this project
might impact the previously approved addition of baseball fields at
Veterans Park Bill Oliver sixteen twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Wtaw Brian Police is investigating a three vehicle collision that
killed one driver and left a second driver hospitalized in
critical condition. No names have been released from yesterday's crash
on Highway thirty near Hardy Wheaton Road. The driver of
a pickup was killed after rear ending one suv, which
sent the truck into oncoming traffic and struck a second suv.
(23:21):
The driver of the second suv went to the hospital.
The driver of the first suv was not injured. The
murder of A Brenna Mann and Wes Bryan on Monday
morning followed a physical altercation involving three people. That's an
update from Brian police as they continued to look for
those involved in the shooting death of De Brandon Charles.
Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the altercation
that led to gunfire outside homes on Jaguar Drive. A
(23:45):
special meeting of the Brian City Council is taking place
this afternoon. The only agenda item is to visit in
private about personnel items that include the possible hiring of
a city manager. The grand opening of a renovated century
old grocery store and warehouse building on the north side
of downtown Brian is tonight, best known as the Kimball
feed Store. Cassidy Barton and Christy Petty turned it into
(24:05):
a cultural and event center.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
You would also see wonderful art and you know, lots
of music and news and information about interesting organizations and
student groups and things like that that are here in Brian.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Marton says the venue is set up for live performances,
smaller scale.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Theater and dance performances, music if we have artists that
are local and interested in potentially exhibiting work.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Tonight's grand opening event begins at six at the Kimball

(26:02):
off after today.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
What do you think weekend's a great idea? Yeah, yeah,
it really would be.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
You got We got the judge in this morning.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
Huh yeah, straight from the College Station Municipal court.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
We have Edsplaine judge.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I'm the sheriff, I'm you're Andy Griffin. No, I'm not
the sheriff.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
That's it's just a judge here.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Harvard doing pretty well in football, yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
Two and oh you know they start September twentieth. They
wait for fall and they two and.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
O are you going to get to see a game
this year anyway in person or.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
On twenty I went to Boston. I hadn't been in
a while, about a month ago, and really enjoyed it.
So I need to get up there. I need to,
But yeah, it's too long.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
One of my kids up there one time and I
told the story. We ate up there and they have
I think the dining hall is next to a place
where they have Harvard grads entombed and you see people
who fought in the Revolutionary were buried there. It's an
old school. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. Hey, what
are we here to talk about today?
Speaker 8 (26:56):
Well?
Speaker 9 (26:56):
Number one warn amnesty coming up October thirteenth. It's a
bi annual we do it twice a year if you
have a warrant. Unfortunately, people we send them text messages
and try to get people in. But if you have
a warrant, or you think you might have a warrant,
then need to come to our court because we'll waive
the warrant fee, which is going up from fifty dollars
(27:18):
to seventy five bucks. But also more importantly, you won't
get arrested. So we really work to get people to
come in.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Well, you know smart, that's a that's a big increase.
But you know what, these are people who have they've
broken the law, and so I don't mind putting an
extra it's costly.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
Yeah, and no one, I don't care what your political stripe.
No one really wants to put people in jail from
the class c's, but people do ignore it their criminal violations,
and so we do everything to get them in.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
So the process is you can go and look and
see if you have something against.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
You, right, Yeah, you can go to our CSTX dot
gov slash courts and you can look at it. We
have a warrant you know online you can call our
court and we'll let you know if you have a
you know, warrant or your roommate has a warrant whatever.
You know, it's public information. But we do want to
get people in and a lot and we've learned with
the text messages, everyone's.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Not hiding out.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
They just put that ticket in the glove compartment, think
it may go away, and then you know, it doesn't
go away and they and they need to come in.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
So from a technological standpoint, clearly text is more intrusive
than a letter in the mail that might not even
get open. So what what difference has that made? It?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Just you know, it's just kind of like doctor's offices
or you make a restaurant, you know, you get a
million texts they work.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
I guess people just look at that.
Speaker 9 (28:33):
Now, the cell phone is the number one thing that
I want the police to get from people because that's
you know, people move around here, especially in you know
where we live, and so the cell phone is just
what everyone looks at. So we use the tech. So
we do that to get people, and that really does.
It's effective and it's a lot better for everyone than
(28:54):
making warrants sending out mail. In fact, now courts are
almost wanting electronic filing and all that. You know, they
really don't want courts to meet. There's a new law
that says if someone wants a court to mail some
it's like twenty five dollars or something.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
You know.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
So it's we're kind of slow because everyone else is
really kind of digital.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
So again, remind them of the dates.
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Is that you've got told this October thirteenth, and the
end date is easy to remember. It's Halloween kings on
a Friday, the thirty first, and that's when it ends
and then they do what's called kind of a warrant
round up, where for about ten days November first to
ninth or so, chances are if you didn't come in,
officers will be focusing and looking for people with warrants.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
How long we've been doing this.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
We've been doing it since I've been a judge, since
two thousand and two. We made it twice a year
because it's more popular and actually Spring brings in more
people coming in, maybe because attacks returns or whatever. But
we've been doing it for twenty five maybe thirty years.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Sure, antidote lating, you didn't come in necessarily talk about this,
but let's talk weird. We had student speaking before City
City Council talking about the density at Northgate. Hell, that's
not the lifestyle that a lot of people want there.
But tell me what the density at College Station has
done to your court.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
You know, one out of six mips minor and Possession
of alcohol filed in Texas has filed in our court.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
And while we have a lot of underage.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Students, it's way and it's almost for the most part
coming from North Gate. And I just looked this past Monday,
we had sixty minor and possession cases filed sixty Wow,
and that's with a couple of bars that had produced
quite a bit had closed down. But there's about thirty
thousand from what you know living around north Gate and
the next few we have like three home weekend games,
(30:41):
and it's just almost a right of passage, it seems.
And so I see them, I let them know. You know,
I get really kind of when we get an MIP second,
because that clearly either someone has an alcohol problem or
they just haven't learned the lesson right. But it is
a big factor.
Speaker 8 (30:57):
We're seeing a lot of that.
Speaker 9 (30:58):
We're still seeing the high speed case too, but the alcohol,
especially from Northgate, has been some that's still affecting our court.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
And I see quite a bit, and I teach them how.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
To clear their record, and we do all sorts of things.
So there's a good in the long run with it
for most of the people I see who are going
to be great, responsible citizens, but still some that really
affects our court.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Yeah, I know you're a good guy for doing that.
Like you say, if you get the second one, yeah,
and then we may have identified a problem. Yes, that's
important to do too, because that's that's what happens anything
else this morning from your court.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
That's pretty much. That's pretty much it.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
Like I said, you know, the high speed thing we're
still seeing, so hopefully people watch the pedal and that
lot of construction going on. I know that gets people
upset and things, but it's uh, it's all for the
good in one way. But you'll get there eventually.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
All right, thanks so much. What else you got?
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Well? National Night Out is next Tuesday.
Speaker 10 (31:48):

All right, sounds good, Thank you man. You've visit Folks
City College station Friday. It's eight forty six. It's the
infomai X on a Friday. We were just talking about
him earlier this week. FX has ordered a pilot for
the comedy Very Young Frankenstein, starring Zach Gallifan Akis as
doctor Frankenstein. Okay, interesting, cass includes comeal the Giohnny. I
(32:32):
don't know who that is, Dolly Wells, don't know. Hurry,
they're Spencer House, Nicky Crawford. Oh but Carrie Elwe's who's
done nothing since Princess Briane basically has he? I mean
I'm not sure. Yeah, he'll portray the President of the
United States. I don't know how that works into the
Very Young Frankenstein. But the plot inspiration from mel Brooks
(32:52):
Gene Wilder's film Young Frankenstein. Those specific plot details are
undisclosed at this time. The writer will execute to try
to produce this thing, and anyway, it's called Very Young Frankenstein.
It looks like mel Brooks is going to be the
executive producer.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
So then he's doing a lot. Yeah, he's coming he's
coming back with space Balls too. Yeah, that's coming out too.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
And he's old he can do that.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Interesting that Frankenstein is kind of having a moment because
there was, you know, a film just released at the
very end of August called Frankenstein with Jacob A. Lordie
and it's like a horror sci fi movie. I think
it's on Netflix. You can watch it there unless you
canceled it because Babysitters Club.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
So it's called Frank the Classic Frankenstein that we know.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I guess it sounds like I mean, I think it's
just a redo, like it's just an updated version.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
We'll see how that happens. Everybody Loves Raymond going to
be a thirtieth anniversary special coming up on you.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
Yeah, we touched on that. He left yesterday. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Yeah, that's kind of fun. Did you do the Peaky
Blinders thing?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
I No, we didn't because I didn't have that news yesterday.
Speaker 7 (33:58):
Yeah, do you have?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Now?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Have you seen it? There's a spinoff?
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
So well somebody somebody was and we were having a
conversation on social media about the House of Guinness situation,
and then they said they they sent me the news
that there was.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
What did you say, it's a spinoff?
Speaker 7 (34:14):
I didn't look at it.
Speaker 8 (34:15):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
So it was announced by Netflix and BBC. The series
will focus on the next generation of the Shelby family. Okay,
it's said in nineteen fifty three, will explore city rising
from the ashes of the Birmingham Blitz. Netflix has already
committed to two seasons on this The series is separate
from The Immortal Man, which is the movie continuing the
(34:37):
Peaky Blonder saga. Right, Uh, Killian Murphy.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Is that his name? Yes?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
And I saw that he is producing it, and I said,
as long as he is involved, yeah, it'll most likely
be really good.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
That means he's going to work hard to yes, to keep.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
It where it was, because yeah, he is the reason
that that show is as as amazing as it is.
Speaker 8 (34:54):
This excites me very much.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Same.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
So Brooks Shields is returning for When Calls the Heart
for season thirteen. Oh okay on the Harmark Hallmark channel.
Is a Charlotte Thornton had no idea.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, MAYI anyway unless it's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
I'm not really involved in the Hallmark saga of everything.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
So. Nicole Kidman's August twenty one, two thousand and one
appearance on two thousand and one in The David Letterman
Show is now trending once again because of her recent
split with Keith Urban. During the show, Kidman was promoting
her film The Others and was asked about her divorce
from Tom Cruise. Letterman basically opened with, Hey, I heard
(35:35):
you're getting divorced how's that going, which was kind of
thing a lettermanve we do right, Nicole Kidman's responded with humor.
She said, uh yeah, I get questions about that, but
I also get to wear heels.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Now.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Oh she's taller than Keith.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Oh is that right issue? Oh yeah, I think so at.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Least, and now she may be wearing heels in most
photos that they're scene on, like the red carpet and stuff,
but she's definitely a little taller than I mean, she's
five eleven, yeah, and these men.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Are not tall.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
So am I seeing here that the Life of a Showman?
Is there a video or a movie to go along
with the Life of a Showgirl?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Their girls? That's okay, Yes, there it is film. It's
a film.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It's in theaters, I guess this weekend, tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
This is something where I kind of draw the line, Okay,
I'm not going to go start to do that. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And I'm not even sure if it's I think it
has to do with all of the like behind the
scenes of her tour, the Eras tour, because that's again
when this album was created, and it's kind of about
that time in her life. So I think that's what's
going on. I mean, Taylor doesn't miss an opportunity to
make money.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
That's sixteen twenty ninety four or five wt wt and
for Manix about seven minutes till. So, yes, you may
be tailgating this weekend and you should remember high higher rating.
It's good for you all the time.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
Yeah, definitely. I always drink enough water.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
Yeah, you know, it's something odd. I don't see like
people my parents' age drinking as much water as what
I've been you know, led to should right, which is
really crazy. And interestingly enough, you know, water effects so
much of your life. Do you know it could affect
your sleep?
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Really?
Speaker 8 (37:16):
Yeah apparently.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, it makes me wake up and go to the
back in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
On the other end of.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Things, a study published earlier this year in the sm
Comprehensive Clinical Medicine Journal, researchers found that participants in a
hydrated or dehydrated state slept more but had greater trouble
falling asleep. Okay, so they try to get into the
sleep dynamics thing there. And I have a couple of
friends right now that are suffering from not being able
(37:43):
to go to sleep and almost suggest to them that
they kill a couple of more cups of water. But
then Chelsea, you're right, you end up with it.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Maybe not right before bed. They try to hydrate earlier
in the day, and that may that may be able
to help.
Speaker 8 (37:54):
It's fascinating to me how much water fuels our bodies
and how much a lot of people are.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
It is funny that you say that about like your parents.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I follow a comedian and her mom is probably in
her mid to late seventies, and she always gives her grief.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
She's like, you drink coffee and wine, like I wait, like,
how are you still alive?
Speaker 1 (38:13):
And her mom's like the super healthy, like spry, seventy
six year old woman or you know whatever. But she's like,
I never see you drink water, like what? And then
but like now, you know, we make fun of the
the you know gen z ers who have to have
their emotional support water bottle, like they're out there, you know,
hydrating all the time.
Speaker 7 (38:31):
It's important for it. Yes, So if you're splitting an
appetizer with a friend that could be intimate. There's a
new trend that will knock your socks off. How about
friendship joint bank account.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Oh okay, so when you were gone, we touched on
this too just a little bit. Yes, we did, because
the and we had a but I saw it again
today in the news, so it's obviously something that is
going on.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
The specific example we had were it would.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Be kind of like if Kendall and I had a
joint bank account that we contributed to four our friend trips. Okay,
so it was for and yeah, and so that's what
it was. This woman had sat next to this other
woman on the plane. They got to talking and she said, oh, yeah,
I'm on the way to a trip with my friend.
We saved up together and they got to talking about
these like joint bank accounts.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
But it was for a specific reason a purpose, right.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
The idea of just like sharing a banking account with
a friend for no other reason, that sounds odd to me.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Now, this says many friends say for group trips. Okay,
I questioned the word many.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah, yeah, I do too. I mean Kendall and I
travel a lot together. She also has a friend that
she travels with. You know, they do other things together, right.
And the other thing is is like if you make
a different salary than your friend, or you're even if
you're in the same life stage, but you have two
very different amounts of income. Am I supposed to contribute
(39:59):
less because I make less? Or am I supposed to
contribute more because I make more? Like that would seem fair.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
My problem is in my friend circle, there's about half
of them that I wouldn't trust with it, and the
other half, you know, would be fine with it. And
that's the way that works.
Speaker 7 (40:13):
And I don't know if they're trying to drive the
app here. It says apps like cash app make it
easier for friends to open joint accounts and start saving. So, yeah,
your point about doing a trip or shared experience together,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
But I was kind of like the idea of like
being able to see the amount like for the trip,
right because you know we we obviously we split everything
pretty much right down the middle when we go on trips,
but it would be kind of fun to say, you know, Okay,
every month, we're going to put you know so much
into this account, and then oh, I got a bonus,
so I'm going to throw in a little bit more
because I know it's going to go towards this like
(40:49):
shared experience and then when you go to book the trip,
you're like, hey, look, we've already saved this up.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
That would be a nice feeling.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Typically we're booking trips and we're paying for it right then,
and it's like, oh man, that's gonna be.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
That's not a bad idea, But this part's a head scratcher.
Best buds are signing mortgages together. As as home co
ownership becomes a commonplace thing.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
It's how we can afford homes these days.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
Sure god, yeah, this says prices up fifty six percent
since July have twenty twenty, so five years ago, up
fifty six percent, and up fifteen percent from just a
year ago. Home buyers purchasing houses with a friend or relative,
according to industry reports. Again, man, both of you have
to qualify. That's got to be harder than ever as well.
(41:34):
But some co buyers simply don't have to live alone
if they want to do that.
Speaker 8 (41:38):
I just man, yeah, you gotta have to split it
up at some point in time. That's gonna get it.
Speaker 5 (41:42):
Yeah, right, it could be this supplies.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I could see if you had one of those like
kind of yeah, I mean, y'all know the homes like
they're not they're not as prevalent around here, but up
in the north, like they'll have a home where it
can be divided into like two right, or or somebody's
upstairs and somebody's down and you can rent a bit
something like that. Maybe maybe, but just a normal home
(42:06):
like we have around here, split amongst who gets the
master bedroom.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
Okay, So, and here's now a survey by PASCO. I
don't know who PASCO is. They're oh, a second home
ownership company. Okay, the second home, the vacation home. I
could better see that. Yeah, I could say, all right, guy,
I'm gonna we're gonna buy this house together. My family
will go there this many weeks. Your family will go
there this many weeks. Then we turn it into a
VRBO or an Airbnb for the rest of the time,
(42:32):
to get a manager to handle it. That I could
see if you've got the resources to do that. But man,
just to have younger people sign with their you know,
best friend or whatever to live at, I would think
it's well, that's just about it for our little radio program.
Alcohol consumption has declined throughout the country in the past decade.
(42:54):
In fact, only one state reports an increase in drinking
in the last ten years. Give me tex Is, no Tennessee. Okay,
all right, you guys have a good weekend. Back on Monday.
