a bit had closed down.

Municipal Judge Ed Spalane, speaking on our show, says, one
out of every six minor in possession of alcohol cases

College Station ISD buses transport more than thirty six hundred
students each day. New technology to monitor the whereabouts of
buses was reviewed during September CSISD school board meeting.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
It provides immediate information for who has boarded the bus
for us, It provides overall student security through the monitoring system.
It creates accountability trail for students.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Where are they at?
Speaker 7 (02:37):
Where they supposed to be at? Are they supposed to
be on the bus? Were they supposed to ride home?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
CSISD Transportation Director Shannon Caltharpe says one thing the technology
does not automatically do is give parents notice of buses
that are behind schedule.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
That comes strictly from my office. I try to stress
to my drivers. If you don't tell me you're fifteen
minutes late, I can't tell anyone you're running fifteen minutes
late and I'm getting yelled at for it, So we
need to make sure we're sting in contact.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Caultharpe says more than thirty three hundred parents are using
an app that monitors the whereabouts of their students who
are being tracked with a badge. If you see lots
of green today, well it's in recognition of National four
H Week.
Speaker 8 (03:14):

Chelsea Reeber for sixteen twenty eight ninety four to five
WTAW Good Morning.
Speaker 9 (03:51):
It's they don't know it the Inflomatix on a Monday morning.
Here's our weather. It's brought to you by Ydano Roofing
and chet Metal, home of the dual last roof system,
world best roof gimccall it two six eight roof go
toriffingpros dot Com. All this week, we're gonna have high
temperatures probably around ninety one, ninety two something like that,
wins out of the northeast, which should feel pretty good.
Lows will be right around seventy and you know, that's
what we're rocking. I don't know if we got sixty
(04:12):
eight sixty nine now and it's it's pleasant. I mean,
aside from no rain, this is pretty good weather for October.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Can't complain?
Speaker 10 (04:19):
Can we say? There haven't been any hurric.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I mean yeah, I was thinking thinking about that that
we're basically past the peak of hurricane season now, the
traditional peak, and we have not had anything, certainly on
the Texas coast. But there's a couple of things brewing.
You never want to wish for a hurricane, but maybe
a nice little tropical depression with some showers would be nice.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
You know.
Speaker 9 (04:40):
One of the things I think that's great about living
in Texas is that we all had the opportunity, at
least growing up to have real genuine onion ring.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, for sure. I had a traumatic experience a couple
of years ago on the Buffalo River when I realized
that there are no onions in funions. Right, there's onion
flavored powder. Well, that has come back up to haunt
me now that Burger King confirms that its onion rings
do not contain fresh slices, but rather a processed mixture
with barely any traces of the vegetable. But you're right, Scott.
(05:11):
We are spoiled with onion rings here in the great
state of Texas, and a lot of people like the
Burger King onion ring. A lot of people don't care
that it doesn't have any onions in it, but yeah,
it's got onion flavoring in it and parts and pieces.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Probably the last time I ate at Burger King, it's.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Been a minute since I've been there.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well, we have we have two.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
We have two in town.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I think I know we've got the one at South
College Station right there at the inter section of Texas
and six one not far.
Speaker 9 (05:36):
From the station, And I think there's one over on
twenty ninth Street.
Speaker 10 (05:39):
Okay, adjoining the Exxon.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
Station if I'm not mistaken, but anyway, yeah, it's that
is unfortunate. So here's If you're a Taco bell person,
there is an I may or.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
May not have had it this weekend. Oh do you
remember or if you remember, what was it?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Burrito Supreme?
Speaker 9 (05:59):
Okay, question mark if not sure, but you had it.
If you're an Ultra runner, there is an event in
Denver called the I'm not that so the okay, the
International Taco Bell fifty k Ultra Marathon, Wow, fifty k
thirty one miles, thirty one miles.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
Basically, what it is is it is a race that
loops throughout Denver and includes mandatory stops at ten taco bells.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh I see, okay, mandatory stops. Yeah, you have to
eat something.
Speaker 10 (06:38):
Here's how it works.
Speaker 9 (06:38):
Okay, Now you have to order something at nine of
the ten Taco bells, and you got to actually eat
the food that includes one Chaloupa Supreme or one Crunch
Recip Supreme by the fourth stop, and one Burrito Supreme
and one Nacho's Bell Grande by the stop.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That would encourage me to finish the race.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
You need to finish. Yes, you really, I understand. You
need to finish the thirty one miles within eleven hours.
You need to keep all your receipts and your wrappers,
and your drinks do not count as food.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Drinks do not count his food.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Okay, yeah, so rappers and receipts is what you know?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You know? Tomorrow is National Taco Day.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Well, and and Taco Bell will be offering dollar Cantina
Chicken soft tacos on discount on party packs. That all
the dollar tacos tomorrow. All right, so you got that
going for you. I had a good friend that did
his son in law did one hundred mile race over
the weekend.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
Okay, well, I'm gonna finish this story first and then
we'll go there. All right, are you now? You are
banned from on course stomach medicines. You cannot take pepto bismol,
you can't take alka seltzer, you can't take my Lanta.
You are able to use the bathroom as much as
you'd like, okay, but you can only use Taco Bell bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh, which feel bad for the Taco Bell location.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Not only do you have these runners coming in ordering things,
but then they're also clogging up your bathroom.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (08:07):
The Taco Bell fifty is in its eighth year and
it happened on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh wow. Okay, so this is a thing.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
They haven't announced a winner yet from the from the.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I guess they have to check.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
They have to check all the receipts and the wrappers
to make sure nobody's cheating.
Speaker 10 (08:22):
True, And I mean, and it's kind of tongue in cheek.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
For in Denver, we're at the Taco Bell the DKA
and we're gone fall down, we're ready.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To go for at the second tals of bells two
thousands meetings sent them in question mountains.
Speaker 10 (08:33):
That's Mala yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Top sixty grande all twenty. We're at the next time
of belt doc roll up that has been in my
belt for the past five miles, Mave thirty.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I talk of bel.
Speaker 9 (08:47):
Here. Now what's interesting is Taco Bell isn't affiliated with
this in any way.
Speaker 10 (08:52):
Oh okay, but they allow it to happen.
Speaker 9 (08:54):
Well sure, I mean, you know, you're getting pretty right,
and they're getting pressed, and they're getting so thirty.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You said you have eleven hours.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Eleven hours, okay, so you're you're basically going two and
a half miles an hour if you will.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, which isn't too too bad.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
But again the idea of that, but then.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You're also having to eat the sin and twist was smart.
Those are really just that's like those are very light,
not heavy at all, and it still counts as.
Speaker 10 (09:18):
Food they have to have. But you got to do
the Chilupa Supreme and yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You have to do a pubble with that. I do
like yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
They give you mile mark or your milestones that you
have to reach at some point.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Anyway, they're having fun, all right, So your time, your
buddy's my buddy's son in law did one hundred mile
race and it was one of those off road races
over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I think he was in at twenty two or twenty
three hours too. Yeah, yeah, and he was keeping track
with him the whole time and sending us updates. I
kept asking what was wrong with him and why he
wanted to do a hundred miles of off road race.
Those athletes are just it's amazing those people that do that.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
I cannot I cannot imagine. And again, the whole Taco
Bell thing is just it's just having fun.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, all right, here we go.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Would you rather? Would you rather drink old milk or
eat moldy cheese?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Moldy cheese, moldy cheese.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Oh yeah I would too. I mean, he says, drink
old milk. I can't like.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The percentage of people said they would rather.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
Fifty seven percent said that. But moldy cheese. I mean
you just eat it, right, it has on purpose.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I was gonna say, yeah, some cheese like is already
kind of moldy, all right.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Have hair for teeth or have teeth for hair? Have
hair for teeth or teeth for hair.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think I'd rather have teeth for hair.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Yeah, that's a yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
But we all know the feeling of when you have
a hair in your.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Mouth, and it's like like, imagine that feeling all the time,
and you can't chew anything like crunching.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
No, you wouldn't be able to know.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
You pretty much a liquid diet, right, So fifty two
percent said yeah they would rather have.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Hair for hair.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
Okay, be mortal on an immortal planet or be immortal
on a mortal planet.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
What is that?
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Even me?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I mean I guess I did still rather be mortal
on an immortal planet. Like everybody else is gonna live,
but you die, Okay, but it's like if you're gonna
be the only one that lives forever and ever and ever.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
That's like, yeah, that's not fun.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Kidnapped by terrorists or abducted by aliens aliens, I think aliens.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
I think aliens.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, you may luck out and they're like really nice
and they like bring you to this awesome planet that's
way cooler than Earth.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
With the right I would agree, and they might bring
you home.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Right, Yeah, only eat sushi for the rest of your life.
Only eat or only eat junk food for the rest
of your life sushi.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
But sure, there's so many because there well I like
sushi too, so that helps. But there are so many
different kinds of fish, and like you can still and
then like you've got the different you know, rolls or
the sashimi or the.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Diff there's a lot of things, and then and you'll
be skinny and healthy. Yeah, I guess you have to
watch your mercury level a little bit.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
Actually it was sixty five thirty five the other way around, which.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Is not it's not surprising, no, that people would rather
eat junk fish.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
We just have to be. We're a different sample here.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Have Christmas twice a year or have your birthday twice
a year?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Birthday?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh, I think I go Christmas.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
I go Christmas. Yeah, birthdays are not a big deal
to me.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Also do that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I love my birthday. But wait, does that also mean
you're aging twice a yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Really?
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, so fifty three percent go with two Christmases, forty
seven percent go with the birthday.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
Be able to fly or be able to read minds?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Fly? I do not want to know what's going on
in other people's mind.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I think I concur closer it would be.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, I know, it doesn't surprise me that it's a closer.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
Yeah, fifty three fifty three percent would rather fly, Forty
seven percent would.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Because I don't really have any desire to fly, But
I would still rather fly than read other people's fly.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
It would make getting to the Aggie games a whole
lot easy, you right?
Speaker 10 (13:01):
Flying?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Flying? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (13:02):
Reading people's mind mean.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
We have the Internet, like we kind of know already,
and it's terrifying.
Speaker 10 (13:08):
That's a good point.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Uh So, I don't remember what website I was on yesterday,
and for all the pop up ads on it. It
just annoyed me. I couldn't shut them off. I was
on I was on my laptop. I wasn't on the
on my big computer. Right, God, where's the X. Where
can I just shut these people?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's even worse on your phone? Yeah, yeah, a mobile
version writing I.
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Just I cannot imagine.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
And so now, just because if you're ready for AI
to sell you something, well actually you're not going to
have any choice.
Speaker 11 (13:39):
That reveals all the chatting you're doing with its AI
on board its apps like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp
is being used to personalize your app experiences. And by
personalizing they mean targeting, and that will also mean advertising.
In a blog post, Meta says they're using the content
of your conversations with Meta AI to learn more about
(14:00):
your likes and dislikes and other things in order to
find tune what content it presents to you, especially things
like Instagram reels and Facebook posts, and with that comes
ads Meta hopes will be even more relevant to you.
Eben Brown, Fox.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
News, man, it's just scary.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's listening constantly.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Yeah, and I thought the ads were intrusive enough. Apparently
they're going to get more intrusive.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, the nice thing I was if they're advertising something
you're actually interested in, you hope.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
It's almost overwhelming. I mean it just comes to me wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But it's like I would rather see advertisements. I mean,
it's not good for my bank account, but I'd rather
see advertisements for companies and things that I'm actually interested in.
I like and I'm not going to buy than something
out like if you're gonna annoy me, annoy me with
some cute shoes, right, versus like hardware tools, that's fair.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
A report in The Financial Times asks if we have
passed the peak of social media? A digital audience insights
company looked at the data of more than two hundred
and fifty thousand adults from fifty countries, so not just
US America, and found that time spent on social media
peaked in twenty twenty two and has since started to decline. Okay,
(15:19):
across the world, adults sixteen and older spending an average
of two hours and twenty minutes per day on social platforms,
and that's down about ten percent of the.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
Last two years.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
That's a good trend.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
Sharpest decline is among teens and twenty somethings, okay, which
is really interesting to me, the fact that they want
to actually do some sort of engagement understand.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
That what else are they spending their time on them?
Speaker 10 (15:42):
Yeah, yeah, good point.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
And then they said millennials and Gen xers seem to
be deleting some accounts too.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I have gotten rid of social media and I probably
do spend less time on it than I did, maybe
back in twenty twenty two, because yeah, I mean, at
one point, I have, you know, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and
I don't know if I never had TikTok and Snapchat
at the same time. But now, I mean truly the
only thing I use is Instagram, Okay, I've gotten rid
(16:12):
of everything else.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Tech experts say that users have basically been pushed out
by reducing the actual socialness and connectedness, and it's being
replaced with ads, suggested content, more ads, negative bots, stupidity,
and more ads.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I can absolutely see that. And with more and more
studies coming out talking about the negative effects of social
media on everything, then maybe people are starting to listen.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
One place in the world where social media isn't in
a free fall, that's North America. Yeah, where the report
says consumption of social media's diet of extreme rhetoric, engagement, bait,
and slop continues to climb.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
There is a lot of garbage.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Oh, I will say, yeah, that is true.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, it used to be you would get on
your social media platform whatever it was, and you saw
what your followers were posting. Now they place all sorts
of stuff that you you don't even follow, and you're like,
why is this showing up? And you know, and you
could there's ways to you know, say I'm not interested
in this. I'm not, but but it just it's become
a lot more cumbersome just to see what you want
(17:14):
to see.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Mm hmm that's true.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
And uh but America maybe at their peak, they think
that we could see a jumping of.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
The shark when it comes to shows social media.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Meta and open AI. They say, have announced new special
platforms that will be their words, filled with AI generated
short form videos.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Now, so do you.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Want to see, you know, AI generated stuff? I guess
some people. Do you know where does this?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
You know where?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Just original content creation?
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Go?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Now? True?
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Now the reason this is I noticed this yesterday and
I wondered, and I guess this answers it so I
was looking for something on YouTube. I just prefer to
be shown something on YouTube or have something explained to
me on YouTube. And so I put in remember what
it was, but up at the top they had five
different shorts, just shorts, right, and like quick clips.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
And I'm guessing that's the influence of what we're talking
about here, is that you don't want to I was
looking for more detailed explanations.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I will yeah, I will say.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think AI has helped content creators create that kind
of stuff. And so you know, like let's say you
post like an hour long podcast, you can use AI
to actually go in and clip what it thinks is
your most you know, I guess you know, consumable like
short clips, right, smart, right, And that's saved a lot
(18:37):
of time because content creators, you know, who do podcasts, like,
they understand the power of social media. They've got to
put these shorts, these clips onto social media to drive
people to actually maybe watch or listen to their whole podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And that took a long time. I mean, so when
when Sean.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
And I used to do the leftovers, like that was
our idea eventually, but so you're telling me, I have
to go back into my hour long podcast and like
find the funniest bits that we did that were like
thirty seconds or less, and then I've got to clip them,
and then I've got to upload them.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Now you've got AI can do all of that for you.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
Now I can see that would work that because you
want we understand people's engagement is like seven seconds if
you don't have them in seven.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Second again, Yeah, like New Heights, the Travis and Jason
Kelce podcast, Like I've never listened to a whole episode,
but I follow them on social media, so I see
all of their funny clips, all of the highlights.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And that's the case for a lot of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You just don't have enough time in the day to
listen to every podcast you might be interested in. But
they still get a ton of engagement just through those
short clips, whether it be on YouTube or Instagram or
x so.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
But there's but the backside of that is it's just
like when the VCR was was invented and you could
fast forward through the commercials. If the commercial if the
people paying for this are not having their content heard,
because you can have a sponsor for your podcast, but
if your clips are all that people consume right than
the full podcast, then you're going to start losing I
(20:03):
would think sponsors.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, yeah, speaking of podcasts real quick, because I know
we got to go to break. But the Golden Globes
has announced that they are actually going to give away
a new award for podcasting. So there were twenty five
podcasts announced as eligible for the Golden Globes. I think
this was back on Friday, and it was just interesting
to see which ones, you know, I guess were eligible
(20:27):
for the award.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Exactly what all the factors were, you know, obviously listenership
and downloads and subscribers and things like that, but yeah,
I just.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
Thought that was kind of yeah, we may run the list.
I'd like to see why they did that, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, WTAW news time is eight thirty one at sixty
nine degrees. Good morning, I'm Chelsea reberb Tomorrow's Brian City
Council agenda includes a proposal to expand the West Side
Lakewalk District.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
The council, acting as the Brian Commerce and Development BORD,
will consider spinning up to three point eight million dollars
that's not budgeted. This would pay for eighty percent of
a two hundred space parking garage and the required infrastructure
to support a future office, retail, restaurant, and entertainment complex
near the Stellar Hotel. City staff projects the expansion will
(21:15):
generate twenty million dollars in land sales revenue, sales and
property tax revenue from an office building, and entertainment venues
projected to eventually generate more than twenty six million dollars
a year, and the future construction of multifamily housing and
commercial uses is projected to generate an additional eighty million dollars.
Speaking of the Stellar Hotel, tomorrow's council agenda includes a
(21:37):
request to allow the hotel owner to keep another year
of hotel occupancy tax money. The request is to compensate
the hotel for reduced occupancy during the pandemic. The maximum
amount of money the hotel will keep from the city
to and a quarter million dollars is not changing Bill
Oliver sixteen to twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
The Texas A and M System Board of Regents chooses
an interim presce cident at the Flagship Campus. Region's chairman
Bob Alberton of Fort Worth said it was a unanimous
selection to bring on Tommy Williams and Aggie Graduated, who
spent ten years as a state senator representing the Woodlands
before working for the system as a lobbyist in Austin.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
We're not going to put a timeline on the search
for our next president. We're going to make sure that
this next president is the exact right person to lead
us forward, and so we are very comfortable that Tommy
can act in the interim forever long it takes us
to do this job right.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
All Britain was the only regent who made a comment
after the Board spent nearly two hours in executive session.
While the Northgate district continues to produce more high rise
student apartment complexes, it's also one of the most prolific
areas of Texas for underage drinking. That was part of
an update on ours show from Municipal Judge Ed Splaine.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
One out of six mips minor and Possession of alcohol
filed in Texas has filed in our court and it's
almost for the most part coming from Northgate.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Last Monday in municipal Court, Splaine handled sixty minor in
possession of alcohol cases.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
I get really kind of up when we get an
MIP second, because that clearly either someone has an alcohol
problem or they just haven't learned the lesson right.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
But it is a big factor. We're seeing a lot
of that.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
The judge also says the annual amnesty period for warrants
issued by College Station Municipal Court starts a week from
today and continues through Halloween. That saves offenders a warrant
fee that is increasing to seventy five dollars. The hour
before the bars in the Northgate district closed on Saturday morning,
College Station police arrested two men for reckless driving where
both drivers did burnouts on Church Avenue. Both drivers were
(23:32):
released from jail after posting bonds. One of the men,
a twenty year old from suburban Fort Worth, was also
charged with DWI with an open container and I'm awful
carrying of a weapon. A Brian man was arrested last
week for assaulting a sixty five year old man in July.
The arrest report from the Brazos County Sheriff's Office says
the victim was treated at his home after he was
punched in the face with a closed fist and for
(23:54):
a dog bite from the suspects pit bull. The arrest
report does not say what happened to the dog when
forty three year old Dale Hindergraft went to jail. District
court record say pinder Graft pleaded guilty in May to
possessing a controlled substance and was placed on three years probation.
That's after he spent two months in jail after probation
was revoked following a conviction for deadly conduct three years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Two months into.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The school year, College Station ISD school board members receive
an update on the district's new technology to monitor school buses,
their drivers, and the more than thirty six hundred students
who are passengers. And Transportation director Shannon Caltharp says more
than thirty three hundred parents are using an app that
monitors the whereabouts of their students who are being tracked with.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
A bad They can be notified as many times as
they want. Maybe that parent that wants to know when
they go through every single intersection, I don't really want
all that information. I just want to know maybe when
you're five minutes from my house.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That's fine too.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Safety features include parents giving permission for someone else to
pick up their child.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
The driver can ask for an ID and if that
person actually is supposed to be there and get Little Johnny,
then we can go ahead and let them have them.
If they're not, then we just take them back to school.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Caltharp says one thing the technology does not automatically do
is give parents notice of buses that are behind schedule.
She manually issues those notices to parents through the app.
Last year, Brazos County had the sixth largest number of
four H members in the state, with seven hundred. Recognizing
this week as National four H Week. County commissioners learned
from four H agent Ashley Sugg that the number is
(25:21):
now more than seven hundred and twenty.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
They're projects ranging from the traditional ag in livestock to
stem healthy living, archery, shooting, sports, and community service.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Sug also said today is Go Green Day to promote
four h W. Tw news time is eight thirty six
at sixty nine degrees. You can find more news anytime
at WTAW dot com. I'm Chelsea Reeber for sixteen, twenty
ninety four to five WTAWA.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
Good morning, it's a thirty eight. It's the infomaniacs on
this Monday morning. Let's have a look at our weather.
It's brought to you this morning by Yananda Roofing and
she battle home with the Dura Last roof system, world's
best roof give them call it two six eight roof
Cody nine reopros dot com Hi today probably about ninety
one ninety two something like that will do.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
That.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
Looks like the first four days of this week anyway,
low temperatures will be around seventy ish and northeasterly winds,
so which should be kind of pleasant out there. So do
you real I've heard this? Factor saw it someplace. University
of Texas had not played at Florida since nineteen forty.
(26:24):
Oh wow, okay, nineteen forty they've only played five times
in their history.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
But man, I just uh, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Those sort of things are incredible to me. You know,
when Arkansas played Notre Dame the other day, that was
the first time those teams had met, even though they
shared a coach, Lou Holtz coach did both of them.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, so I heard something wild on game day on Saturday.
Miami is not playing outside of the state of Florida
until November?
Speaker 10 (26:54):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Because they're either they were at home or they played
they went to Florida State.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
This last weekend, right, and I guess that's it. Like
they've been at.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Home or on a bye or at Florida State and
then they're at home, at home, at home until November
when they come to SMU man.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
That is a that's wild nice travel budget for the year.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Yeah, and then Penn State has to go to Los
Angeles for a conference game.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I know, I know, And yeah, there's been a lot
of talk about the miles that certain teams are traveling,
but hey, they wanted to be part of a conference
some of them.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Like I'm not saying all of them, but.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
That's but you know, folks like you at well and
we'll see. That's the other thing.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
So u c l A wins and they carry uh,
you know Rick Neuheiseel's sun as the offensive coordinator and
he looks like Rick new Heiseel used to long long
blonde hair. They carry, they pick him up on their
shoulders and carry him. But not the interim coach.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Right, you know, well offensive coordinated, they put up a
lot of points.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
Okay, te tell me that there's no pressure in that situation.
You're the interim coach at u c l A. The
dad of an assistant coach the offensive coordinators on national television,
who's a former.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Coach at U c l A. Yeah tell me that
that that kid's not going to end up being the
new head football coach at UCLA.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
But anyway, none of that, We're not a sports day
in the meantime, as a pretty good win on you know,
just it it was nice to relax.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I still, yeah, I'm still it's a new feeling.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
Yes, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I haven't felt like this in a long time, and
I'm still coming to terms with what it is exactly.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
Well, I got to go back to Johnny.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
That was it.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
I mean, yeah, we got that feeling. You know, we're
going to win.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
If he's on the field, we're going to win. And yes,
it's it's just yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Speaking of you ruffled some feathers in Tuscaloosa this weekend.
Oh well yeah he so he went to Alabama for
the game, but him and a Diego Pavia has been
the quarterback for Vanderbilt, has been pretty outspoken about Johnny
being one of his kind of.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Idols, like that's who he's number two? Where's number two?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That's like who he you know, styles his play after
and so so Johnny was actually at the game on
on the Vanderbilt sideline wearing a Pavia jersey. Yeah, and
some Tescalusa, you know, you can imagine the Alabama fans
had a few things to say about him. After sure,
he did what he did in Alabama back in the day.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Exactly. I heard some talk about the fact that he
was opening a bar with the Pavia family or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Well, there was suppose there was like a new bar
in Tuscaloosa and they were going to allow Johnny to
be there for like a watch party, and he's done
these for certain reasons, and apparently a bunch of Obama people,
you know, of course, came out and said they were
going to boycott the bar.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You're a bar in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You probably don't want your home fan base to not
want to come to your established member. Yeah, And so
I think that's why he ended up just going to
the game and watching the game there.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
But it was also a little odd.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
On game day they had THEO Vaughn, who is a podcaster.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
He is a very.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well known Vanderbilt fan like Liz and Nashville, but he
was the celebrity guest picker on game day in tuscalootions.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
My.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, and he's been a picker before, and I think
because he was gonna be there, they were like, oh,
you know, I don't know. It's always a little questionable sometimes, Yeah,
who they pick.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I thought he was terrible.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, he was absolutely, that's not his environment.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
No, And it just it was a very it was
a very weird I mean, and the celebrity guest pickers
are not always great, Like some of them just look uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
They're obviously not used to talking sports. They're you know, it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Can just be a little and he's done it before.
I still didn't love the pick. I didn't think he
was entertaining by any means. So yeah, it'll be interesting
to see how they continue picking their celebrities this year
on game day.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
So politics has gotten to be pretty strange in the
state of Alabama. Tommy Tubberville, who used to be a
coach at many places including Texas, A and M but
at Auburn was the head coach, is now a United
States Senator. Okay, that's happened before. Coaches have gone and
done that, or athletes. Well, now he is going to
(31:05):
vacate the Senate and he is going to run for
governor of Alabama. There was more than a little discussion
that Bruce Pearl, the Auburn basketball coach, would decide to
run for as a Republican, to run for that senatorial seat. Well,
now they've made his son, I think, the coach in
(31:27):
waiting at Auburn, and so he said, I'm going to stay.
I said, I'm going to stay.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Now.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
So now one of the names being floated to run
for the United States Senate from Alabama is Paul Feinbaum.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
That is so crazy.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Paul Feinbaum has moved back. He used to do his
show in Charlotte. He's moved back to Alabama, and he
has commented on this. I mean he has said if
President Trump asked, he said, I've tried to be non
partial in a lot of things we do, but if
President Trump asks me to run for senator, I will
do it.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I know. Oh man, okay.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Interesting it is going to host the Collins Show from
the floor there.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Well, you know, this man makes a lot of money,
but he has to talk to some insufferable I mean,
it's that the show is just insufferable.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
But you know that's fine. It's okay.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
It's uh, well he's used to that, now that'll that'll
serve him well, and.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Go that's true.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
Yeah, I just, man, I don't get it. I just
and I understand he might want to retire from radio
and not do that, but why would you want to
be you want to do that?
Speaker 10 (32:36):
It just makes no.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Sense the power trip for some people.
Speaker 10 (32:39):
A yeah, I guess that's that.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Not saying it's that that's what it is for him.
I'm just saying thought that comes with it.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
You bet.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
It's eight forty six. It's the inflamat X on NA Monday.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
So we're talking on the other side of the half
hour about the Golden Globes is adding a category for.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Podcasts, Yes, for Best podcast and so they have named
the twenty five eligible podcasts, which is compiled by the
data company Illuminate, and then from that pool, there will
be six that are chosen as final nominees and then
obviously they will announce the winner. I believe January eleventh
is when the Golden Globes are going to be next year.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
So here are the twenty five.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
This is alphabetical order, and again these are just the
eligible ones, and it doesn't tell me exactly what makes
them eligible, but illuminate as obviously they're They are the
industry's leading authority on audio analytics and instein. Okay twenty
twenty from ABC News, forty eight hours from CBS News
Armchair Expert with Dak Sheppard, Been around a long time,
(33:37):
Call her Daddy, which is the one with Alex Cooper.
Candace who is Candace Owens? Oh yeah, crime Junkie. So
there's one of your first crime ones. Dateline NBC. Good
Hang with Amy Poehler, which is very new, but she's
doing a great job with it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
A podcast called Morbid. I haven't heard of that one.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Sounds like something you'd lie.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
I know, it does right to be a crime thing, right,
Mister Ballin podcast Strange Ark and Mysterious Stories.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I hadn't heard that one either.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Pardon my take, which is the biggest barstool podcast that
there is to sports guys, Sports Guys pod Save America.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Something called Rotten Mango. Hadn't heard that one either.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
I think that's a crime podcast as well.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Okay, The Sean Ryan Show, SmartLess. There you go.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
There's those guys stuff you should know. The Ben Shapiro Show,
the Bill Simmons Podcast, The Daily which is from the
New York Times, the Joe Rogan Experience, the Megan Kelly Show,
the Mel Robbins Podcast, which is like a self help typing,
the Tucker Carlson Show. We were just talking about him
this past weekend with theovon and up first from NPR.
Speaker 10 (34:42):
Huh yep.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
So again, six of those will be named the nominees
for the actual Golden Globe.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
And then there will be one that is picked.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
That's going to be so difficult because I mean, just
take the first one twenty twenty all right, right, that's news,
that's news centric.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I know those are interest I'll be interested if those
end up being nominees or if they go with the
more like call her daddy crime junkie, Joe Rogan, Amy Poehler,
like people who are coming out with more I guess
you could call like original content versus news content.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Right, I'm gonna bet that THEO Vaughn is not gonna
win his gold Globe, and if he does, I don't
want to watch the acceptance speech.
Speaker 9 (35:24):
You know, the thing is that I've gotten I mean
I listened to SmartLess.
Speaker 10 (35:29):
Some I don't listen the.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Way I used I haven't listened in a while.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Yeah, well because it ends up it's just like one
more stop on a junket.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yes, exactly, And that's what's you know, it is interesting
the ones like that where they're just and call her daddy,
like she she interviews.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Celebrities like that's what she does now.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Her content is much different than like the guys on SmartLess,
as is you know, the Joe Rogan experience obviously, but yeah,
the ones where they're just you know, interviewing celebt berdies
that are pitching or promoting their their newest film or
musicians who are you know, promoting a new album. You know,
how different can that kind of content be all the time?
Speaker 10 (36:11):
And it was clear.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
I listened to and enjoyed hearing the Lionel Richie podcast
with the on SmartLess, but it's clear they didn't know
much about him. Oh he knew nothing about this. I mean,
he knew nothing.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
It was part of him on Rogan.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
He's doing the junket, right, do you remember whose guest
he was? Scott? It probably doesn't even matter, no, curious.
Speaker 9 (36:38):
It's interesting because he grew up across the street from
Tuskegee Institute, Okay, and I mean his mom was an
English teacher. I don't know that his dad was on
the faculty, but he knew the college president. He said,
you know, the president's house is right across the street,
and talking about all that stuff.
Speaker 10 (36:56):
And so the guys didn't know Tuskegee.
Speaker 9 (37:00):
They thought, oh, oh, the University of Alabama.
Speaker 10 (37:03):
He said, no, Testigee like the Teskegee Airman. I mean,
they had no clue.
Speaker 9 (37:07):
And I went, man, that was really not a good
good look. It was interesting to hear his background. He
telled a great story and he remembers a lot of things.
And so from that standpoint, he's got a book coming out.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
The book.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Maybe I'm not going to read it, but yeah, but it.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Just and to understand a lot of these podcasts started
during the pandemic. Oh yeah, and so that certainly was
a driving force right there for what your guests, you
know who your guests were, because everybody needed to have
something to do, they needed to get some content filled.
But man, I don't know that sure sounds like apples
and oranges. It just sounds so hard to pick one
(37:42):
podcast out of that list.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Say that that is the maybe, and again, this is
the first year they're doing it right, Maybe eventually they
do move to Okay, now we're going to say, you know,
comedy podcast, yeah, podcast, news podcast, political podcasts, celebrity because
you yeah, there are so many different kind of categories
within this one.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
But ultimately, like also who Cares Sure?
Speaker 9 (38:07):
And you know, one of the ones that I'd listened
to is Acquired, and Acquired is a long podcast there.
They generally run about three hours, but they're not regular.
I mean, it's when they finish having doing their research.
What they do is they look into a company, do
a deep dive, so when they finish there, they've got
their content ready to go. Then they record, as opposed
(38:28):
to most all of these that come out every week, right.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Which is amazing that they they do the research, they
take the time that The problem is you also have
to make sure your listeners are aware of when you're
releasing that new podcast, that new episode. And that's the
tough part when you when you have an irregular production schedule.
Speaker 9 (38:46):
And they've they've done a good job of extending their brand.
They've done live presentations and things like that, so they're
they're they're keeping people.
Speaker 10 (38:53):
Aware of it. And but I just go and check
IF's on Spotify. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
So is Joe Rogan once a week, several times a
week sometimes.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Okay, I was gonna say, because part of my take,
I have actually been listening to a lot of lately,
and they are Monday, Wednesday, Friday. But that's probably the
I'm assuming most of these, well besides the news ones,
they're probably every single day.
Speaker 10 (39:14):
Yeah, they are, so Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
It's also just interesting how much work they put in
a week.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Well, certain ones.
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Yeah, And that's the thing is, Yeah, I think you're right.
Rogan does a lot for a while, and then maybe
he takes a break. It's hard to know, but he
tries to stay so topical on things. Sure, and if
people are going to be in town, then then that
certainly works out. But again his are long too, Yeah,
very long. It seen for me the next about five
minutes tail on this Monday morning.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
Amazon in their drones huh.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Yeah, absolutely, of course they just left here. Apparently over
in Arizona last week, two of their drones, the m
K thirty variety, crashed into each other, and now two
federal agencies are stepping in to investigate what happened, and
they have paused the drune to liveries in the West
Valley Phoenix metro area as a result of the crash.
(40:05):
So those two prime are air delivery drones.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
I didn't get my toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Yeah, they crashed apparently crashed into a crane.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
I thought they crashed into one.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
And yeah, I thought they did too. But I'm looking
at this a bit first.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
It's not good either.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
They crashed into a crane. I guess. Of course, there
weren't any lights on a crane. I wouldn't guess. And
then you know, when you have a for example, when
you have a radio tower, you have lights on it
so you can avoid that sort of thing. But they
were flying back to back when they crashed into the crane,
so one right behind the other.
Speaker 10 (40:34):
There you are. That's a little bit scary.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Yeah, they landed in parking lots and there was one
man injured after inhaling smoke from the wreckage and he
was treated. But thank goodness that it didn't land on anybody.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Huh.
Speaker 10 (40:46):
All right, so I didn't see this.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
While we were talking about onion rings a little while ago,
Burger King quietly packing up its most polarizing crown. The
remember that that weird looking king that they had.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
No king.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Ye're about the food.
Speaker 10 (41:07):
He's going away.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
They're going to refocus on a more family friendly image
and something that will be a little more kid centric.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Yeah, he was kind of the stuff of nightmares.
Speaker 10 (41:15):
Yeah, well what do he kind of? Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
I mean all of these things are like all of
these mascots for certain restaurants, it's like they're just a
little like like the Jack in the Box guy with
the the you know, the Jack in the Box head
and the King. I mean, I don't know, like none
of them are super fun looking.
Speaker 10 (41:33):
No, Ronald McDonald was okay.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Unless you don't like class you don't.
Speaker 9 (41:37):
Like and then of course we had Grimace and the
Hamburglarer and those those things. But yeah, anyway, he's going away.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Like I think the.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Cows from Chick fil A are probably the best, but
they're real cow.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Yeah, nobody hates the cow.
Speaker 9 (41:51):
No, that's uh. And they and they do funny signs
and stuff like that. Yeah, So here we go. We've
there's been a lot to talk about the supply check. Well,
actually we talked about Burger King. My wife likes burger.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Okay, I was going to say that earlier. I said
I hadn't been to one.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
But I remember you saying that a few years ago
Jackie actually really likes Burger It's not.
Speaker 10 (42:09):
We don't and we don't eat their regular ye.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
I don't need a lot of fast food in general.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Yeah, but like she went someplace at Burger King, well
for you, all right, somebody needs to all right, soay.
With lots of stories about supply chains in recent years
and now, criminals are ditching stores and actually trying to
get involved in stealing things within the supply chain. For example,
in Windsor, Ontario, there have been four tractor trailers stolen
(42:37):
in four months. Thieves are usually targeting expensive hauls like
whiskey and beef, and that that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Sure.
Speaker 9 (42:46):
Latest one's a little bit one off. Truck and trailer
stolen about a week ago, packed with thirty five thousand
dollars worth of salsa.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Salsa salsa.
Speaker 9 (42:57):
The truck was later abandoned, but the trailer and the
saucers still missing. It's uh, not clear exactly what kind
of salsa it was. Uh, it's unclear if the thieves
got bad intel. Maybe it was supposed to be something different.
It was a crime of opportunity. They were hoping that
they had something valuable could be that. Yeah, maybe they've
(43:17):
got a lot of chips and they want to get
together and have a pirates.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Something straight out of the Sopranos.
Speaker 9 (43:23):
The problem is, salsa seems like a difficult project to offload.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Right, who do you yeah, who do you sell it to?
Speaker 3 (43:31):
Yah?
Speaker 4 (43:32):
I got some black markets salsa over.
Speaker 9 (43:33):
Hey, you want to buy some salsa? Yeah, police are
asking for the public's help. If you know anything.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Anybody's been offering you some salt, some deals on some
salsa packages.
Speaker 9 (43:44):
I just somehow I can't imagine. So I'm going to
save this. I got it's plants.
Speaker 10 (43:51):
That glow in the dark.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
Oh yeah, it.
Speaker 10 (43:56):
Should be fun.
Speaker 9 (43:57):
And then apparently, Chelsea, you were ahead of your time
when it was what three or four years ago when
you would take your shoes off and mister Downs didn't
like that very much, is that right?
Speaker 10 (44:06):
And he would complain about that.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
You would get so mad at me. I don't even
walk out in the hallway with bare feet. It was
just in my room. And apparently now at certain places
of work they're asking they all take off their shoes.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
I saw this article last week.
Speaker 9 (44:20):
Yeah the magazine, Yeah, Fortune magazine did a big story.
The Guardian in England has two. They are banning shoes
from the workplace, you know, yeah, and especially in some startups.
Speaker 10 (44:31):
But I mean leave your shoes at the door.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
I don't know a cleanliness thing or do. They just
want to promote relaxation, no comfort.
Speaker 9 (44:38):
I mean what feels casual sometimes makes you unprofessional, but
it could make you comfortable and you do better in
your job. We're back tomorrow. Bridebroadcasting Station, WGAW College Station.

College Station ISD buses transport more than thirty six hundred
students each day. New technology to monitor the whereabouts of
buses was reviewed during September CSISD school board meeting.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
It provides immediate information for who has boarded the bus
for us, It provides overall student security through the monitoring system.
It creates accountability trail for students.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Where are they at?
Speaker 7 (02:37):
Where they supposed to be at? Are they supposed to
be on the bus? Were they supposed to ride home?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
CSISD Transportation Director Shannon Caltharpe says one thing the technology
does not automatically do is give parents notice of buses
that are behind schedule.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
That comes strictly from my office. I try to stress
to my drivers. If you don't tell me you're fifteen
minutes late, I can't tell anyone you're running fifteen minutes
late and I'm getting yelled at for it, So we
need to make sure we're sting in contact.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Caultharpe says more than thirty three hundred parents are using
an app that monitors the whereabouts of their students who
are being tracked with a badge. If you see lots
of green today, well it's in recognition of National four
H Week.

It's they don't know it the Inflomatix on a Monday morning.
Here's our weather. It's brought to you by Ydano Roofing
and chet Metal, home of the dual last roof system,
world best roof gimccall it two six eight roof go
toriffingpros dot Com. All this week, we're gonna have high
temperatures probably around ninety one, ninety two something like that,
wins out of the northeast, which should feel pretty good.
Lows will be right around seventy and you know, that's
what we're rocking. I don't know if we got sixty
(04:12):
eight sixty nine now and it's it's pleasant. I mean,
aside from no rain, this is pretty good weather for October.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Can't complain?
Speaker 10 (04:19):
Can we say? There haven't been any hurric.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I mean yeah, I was thinking thinking about that that
we're basically past the peak of hurricane season now, the
traditional peak, and we have not had anything, certainly on
the Texas coast. But there's a couple of things brewing.
You never want to wish for a hurricane, but maybe
a nice little tropical depression with some showers would be nice.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
You know.
Speaker 9 (04:40):
One of the things I think that's great about living
in Texas is that we all had the opportunity, at
least growing up to have real genuine onion ring.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, for sure. I had a traumatic experience a couple
of years ago on the Buffalo River when I realized
that there are no onions in funions. Right, there's onion
flavored powder. Well, that has come back up to haunt
me now that Burger King confirms that its onion rings
do not contain fresh slices, but rather a processed mixture
with barely any traces of the vegetable. But you're right, Scott.
(05:11):
We are spoiled with onion rings here in the great
state of Texas, and a lot of people like the
Burger King onion ring. A lot of people don't care
that it doesn't have any onions in it, but yeah,
it's got onion flavoring in it and parts and pieces.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Probably the last time I ate at Burger King, it's.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Been a minute since I've been there.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well, we have we have two.
Speaker 10 (05:30):
We have two in town.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I think I know we've got the one at South
College Station right there at the inter section of Texas
and six one not far.
Speaker 9 (05:36):
From the station, And I think there's one over on
twenty ninth Street.
Speaker 10 (05:39):
Okay, adjoining the Exxon.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
Station if I'm not mistaken, but anyway, yeah, it's that
is unfortunate. So here's If you're a Taco bell person,
there is an I may or.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
May not have had it this weekend. Oh do you
remember or if you remember, what was it?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Burrito Supreme?
Speaker 9 (05:59):
Okay, question mark if not sure, but you had it.
If you're an Ultra runner, there is an event in
Denver called the I'm not that so the okay, the
International Taco Bell fifty k Ultra Marathon, Wow, fifty k
thirty one miles, thirty one miles.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
Basically, what it is is it is a race that
loops throughout Denver and includes mandatory stops at ten taco bells.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh I see, okay, mandatory stops. Yeah, you have to
eat something.
Speaker 10 (06:38):
Here's how it works.
Speaker 9 (06:38):
Okay, Now you have to order something at nine of
the ten Taco bells, and you got to actually eat
the food that includes one Chaloupa Supreme or one Crunch
Recip Supreme by the fourth stop, and one Burrito Supreme
and one Nacho's Bell Grande by the stop.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That would encourage me to finish the race.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
You need to finish. Yes, you really, I understand. You
need to finish the thirty one miles within eleven hours.
You need to keep all your receipts and your wrappers,
and your drinks do not count as food.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Drinks do not count his food.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Okay, yeah, so rappers and receipts is what you know?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You know? Tomorrow is National Taco Day.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Well, and and Taco Bell will be offering dollar Cantina
Chicken soft tacos on discount on party packs. That all
the dollar tacos tomorrow. All right, so you got that
going for you. I had a good friend that did
his son in law did one hundred mile race over
the weekend.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
Okay, well, I'm gonna finish this story first and then
we'll go there. All right, are you now? You are
banned from on course stomach medicines. You cannot take pepto bismol,
you can't take alka seltzer, you can't take my Lanta.
You are able to use the bathroom as much as
you'd like, okay, but you can only use Taco Bell bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Oh, which feel bad for the Taco Bell location.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Not only do you have these runners coming in ordering things,
but then they're also clogging up your bathroom.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (08:07):
The Taco Bell fifty is in its eighth year and
it happened on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh wow. Okay, so this is a thing.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
They haven't announced a winner yet from the from the.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I guess they have to check.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
They have to check all the receipts and the wrappers
to make sure nobody's cheating.
Speaker 10 (08:22):
True, And I mean, and it's kind of tongue in cheek.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
For in Denver, we're at the Taco Bell the DKA
and we're gone fall down, we're ready.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To go for at the second tals of bells two
thousands meetings sent them in question mountains.
Speaker 10 (08:33):
That's Mala yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Top sixty grande all twenty. We're at the next time
of belt doc roll up that has been in my
belt for the past five miles, Mave thirty.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I talk of bel.
Speaker 9 (08:47):
Here. Now what's interesting is Taco Bell isn't affiliated with
this in any way.
Speaker 10 (08:52):
Oh okay, but they allow it to happen.
Speaker 9 (08:54):
Well sure, I mean, you know, you're getting pretty right,
and they're getting pressed, and they're getting so thirty.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You said you have eleven hours.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Eleven hours, okay, so you're you're basically going two and
a half miles an hour if you will.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, which isn't too too bad.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
But again the idea of that, but then.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You're also having to eat the sin and twist was smart.
Those are really just that's like those are very light,
not heavy at all, and it still counts as.
Speaker 10 (09:18):
Food they have to have. But you got to do
the Chilupa Supreme and yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You have to do a pubble with that. I do
like yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
They give you mile mark or your milestones that you
have to reach at some point.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Anyway, they're having fun, all right, So your time, your
buddy's my buddy's son in law did one hundred mile
race and it was one of those off road races
over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I think he was in at twenty two or twenty
three hours too. Yeah, yeah, and he was keeping track
with him the whole time and sending us updates. I
kept asking what was wrong with him and why he
wanted to do a hundred miles of off road race.
Those athletes are just it's amazing those people that do that.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
I cannot I cannot imagine. And again, the whole Taco
Bell thing is just it's just having fun.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, all right, here we go.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Would you rather? Would you rather drink old milk or
eat moldy cheese?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Moldy cheese, moldy cheese.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Oh yeah I would too. I mean, he says, drink
old milk. I can't like.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The percentage of people said they would rather.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
Fifty seven percent said that. But moldy cheese. I mean
you just eat it, right, it has on purpose.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I was gonna say, yeah, some cheese like is already
kind of moldy, all right.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Have hair for teeth or have teeth for hair? Have
hair for teeth or teeth for hair.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think I'd rather have teeth for hair.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Yeah, that's a yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
But we all know the feeling of when you have
a hair in your.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Mouth, and it's like like, imagine that feeling all the time,
and you can't chew anything like crunching.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
No, you wouldn't be able to know.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
You pretty much a liquid diet, right, So fifty two
percent said yeah they would rather have.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Hair for hair.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
Okay, be mortal on an immortal planet or be immortal
on a mortal planet.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
What is that?
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Even me?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I mean I guess I did still rather be mortal
on an immortal planet. Like everybody else is gonna live,
but you die, Okay, but it's like if you're gonna
be the only one that lives forever and ever and ever.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
That's like, yeah, that's not fun.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Kidnapped by terrorists or abducted by aliens aliens, I think aliens.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
I think aliens.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, you may luck out and they're like really nice
and they like bring you to this awesome planet that's
way cooler than Earth.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
With the right I would agree, and they might bring
you home.
Speaker 9 (11:33):
Right, Yeah, only eat sushi for the rest of your life.
Only eat or only eat junk food for the rest
of your life sushi.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
But sure, there's so many because there well I like
sushi too, so that helps. But there are so many
different kinds of fish, and like you can still and
then like you've got the different you know, rolls or
the sashimi or the.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Diff there's a lot of things, and then and you'll
be skinny and healthy. Yeah, I guess you have to
watch your mercury level a little bit.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
Actually it was sixty five thirty five the other way around, which.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Is not it's not surprising, no, that people would rather
eat junk fish.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
We just have to be. We're a different sample here.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Have Christmas twice a year or have your birthday twice
a year?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Birthday?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Oh, I think I go Christmas.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
I go Christmas. Yeah, birthdays are not a big deal
to me.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Also do that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I love my birthday. But wait, does that also mean
you're aging twice a yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Really?
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, so fifty three percent go with two Christmases, forty
seven percent go with the birthday.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
Be able to fly or be able to read minds?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Fly? I do not want to know what's going on
in other people's mind.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I think I concur closer it would be.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, I know, it doesn't surprise me that it's a closer.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
Yeah, fifty three fifty three percent would rather fly, Forty
seven percent would.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Because I don't really have any desire to fly, But
I would still rather fly than read other people's fly.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
It would make getting to the Aggie games a whole
lot easy, you right?
Speaker 10 (13:01):
Flying?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Flying? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (13:02):
Reading people's mind mean.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
We have the Internet, like we kind of know already,
and it's terrifying.
Speaker 10 (13:08):
That's a good point.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Uh So, I don't remember what website I was on yesterday,
and for all the pop up ads on it. It
just annoyed me. I couldn't shut them off. I was
on I was on my laptop. I wasn't on the
on my big computer. Right, God, where's the X. Where
can I just shut these people?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's even worse on your phone? Yeah, yeah, a mobile
version writing I.
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Just I cannot imagine.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
And so now, just because if you're ready for AI
to sell you something, well actually you're not going to
have any choice.
Speaker 11 (13:39):
That reveals all the chatting you're doing with its AI
on board its apps like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp
is being used to personalize your app experiences. And by
personalizing they mean targeting, and that will also mean advertising.
In a blog post, Meta says they're using the content
of your conversations with Meta AI to learn more about
(14:00):
your likes and dislikes and other things in order to
find tune what content it presents to you, especially things
like Instagram reels and Facebook posts, and with that comes
ads Meta hopes will be even more relevant to you.
Eben Brown, Fox.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
News, man, it's just scary.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's listening constantly.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Yeah, and I thought the ads were intrusive enough. Apparently
they're going to get more intrusive.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, the nice thing I was if they're advertising something
you're actually interested in, you hope.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
It's almost overwhelming. I mean it just comes to me wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But it's like I would rather see advertisements. I mean,
it's not good for my bank account, but I'd rather
see advertisements for companies and things that I'm actually interested in.
I like and I'm not going to buy than something
out like if you're gonna annoy me, annoy me with
some cute shoes, right, versus like hardware tools, that's fair.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
A report in The Financial Times asks if we have
passed the peak of social media? A digital audience insights
company looked at the data of more than two hundred
and fifty thousand adults from fifty countries, so not just
US America, and found that time spent on social media
peaked in twenty twenty two and has since started to decline. Okay,
(15:19):
across the world, adults sixteen and older spending an average
of two hours and twenty minutes per day on social platforms,
and that's down about ten percent of the.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
Last two years.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
That's a good trend.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
Sharpest decline is among teens and twenty somethings, okay, which
is really interesting to me, the fact that they want
to actually do some sort of engagement understand.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
That what else are they spending their time on them?
Speaker 10 (15:42):
Yeah, yeah, good point.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
And then they said millennials and Gen xers seem to
be deleting some accounts too.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I have gotten rid of social media and I probably
do spend less time on it than I did, maybe
back in twenty twenty two, because yeah, I mean, at
one point, I have, you know, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and
I don't know if I never had TikTok and Snapchat
at the same time. But now, I mean truly the
only thing I use is Instagram, Okay, I've gotten rid
(16:12):
of everything else.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Tech experts say that users have basically been pushed out
by reducing the actual socialness and connectedness, and it's being
replaced with ads, suggested content, more ads, negative bots, stupidity,
and more ads.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I can absolutely see that. And with more and more
studies coming out talking about the negative effects of social
media on everything, then maybe people are starting to listen.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
One place in the world where social media isn't in
a free fall, that's North America. Yeah, where the report
says consumption of social media's diet of extreme rhetoric, engagement, bait,
and slop continues to climb.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
There is a lot of garbage.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Oh, I will say, yeah, that is true.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, it used to be you would get on
your social media platform whatever it was, and you saw
what your followers were posting. Now they place all sorts
of stuff that you you don't even follow, and you're like,
why is this showing up? And you know, and you
could there's ways to you know, say I'm not interested
in this. I'm not, but but it just it's become
a lot more cumbersome just to see what you want
(17:14):
to see.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Mm hmm that's true.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
And uh but America maybe at their peak, they think
that we could see a jumping of.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
The shark when it comes to shows social media.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
Meta and open AI. They say, have announced new special
platforms that will be their words, filled with AI generated
short form videos.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
Now, so do you.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Want to see, you know, AI generated stuff? I guess
some people. Do you know where does this?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
You know where?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Just original content creation?
Speaker 11 (17:45):
Go?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Now? True?
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Now the reason this is I noticed this yesterday and
I wondered, and I guess this answers it so I
was looking for something on YouTube. I just prefer to
be shown something on YouTube or have something explained to
me on YouTube. And so I put in remember what
it was, but up at the top they had five
different shorts, just shorts, right, and like quick clips.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
And I'm guessing that's the influence of what we're talking
about here, is that you don't want to I was
looking for more detailed explanations.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I will yeah, I will say.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think AI has helped content creators create that kind
of stuff. And so you know, like let's say you
post like an hour long podcast, you can use AI
to actually go in and clip what it thinks is
your most you know, I guess you know, consumable like
short clips, right, smart, right, And that's saved a lot
(18:37):
of time because content creators, you know, who do podcasts, like,
they understand the power of social media. They've got to
put these shorts, these clips onto social media to drive
people to actually maybe watch or listen to their whole podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And that took a long time. I mean, so when
when Sean.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
And I used to do the leftovers, like that was
our idea eventually, but so you're telling me, I have
to go back into my hour long podcast and like
find the funniest bits that we did that were like
thirty seconds or less, and then I've got to clip them,
and then I've got to upload them.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Now you've got AI can do all of that for you.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
Now I can see that would work that because you
want we understand people's engagement is like seven seconds if
you don't have them in seven.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Second again, Yeah, like New Heights, the Travis and Jason
Kelce podcast, Like I've never listened to a whole episode,
but I follow them on social media, so I see
all of their funny clips, all of the highlights.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And that's the case for a lot of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You just don't have enough time in the day to
listen to every podcast you might be interested in. But
they still get a ton of engagement just through those
short clips, whether it be on YouTube or Instagram or
x so.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
But there's but the backside of that is it's just
like when the VCR was was invented and you could
fast forward through the commercials. If the commercial if the
people paying for this are not having their content heard,
because you can have a sponsor for your podcast, but
if your clips are all that people consume right than
the full podcast, then you're going to start losing I
(20:03):
would think sponsors.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, yeah, speaking of podcasts real quick, because I know
we got to go to break. But the Golden Globes
has announced that they are actually going to give away
a new award for podcasting. So there were twenty five
podcasts announced as eligible for the Golden Globes. I think
this was back on Friday, and it was just interesting
to see which ones, you know, I guess were eligible
(20:27):
for the award.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Exactly what all the factors were, you know, obviously listenership
and downloads and subscribers and things like that, but yeah,
I just.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
Thought that was kind of yeah, we may run the list.
I'd like to see why they did that, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, WTAW news time is eight thirty one at sixty
nine degrees. Good morning, I'm Chelsea reberb Tomorrow's Brian City
Council agenda includes a proposal to expand the West Side
Lakewalk District.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
The council, acting as the Brian Commerce and Development BORD,
will consider spinning up to three point eight million dollars
that's not budgeted. This would pay for eighty percent of
a two hundred space parking garage and the required infrastructure
to support a future office, retail, restaurant, and entertainment complex
near the Stellar Hotel. City staff projects the expansion will
(21:15):
generate twenty million dollars in land sales revenue, sales and
property tax revenue from an office building, and entertainment venues
projected to eventually generate more than twenty six million dollars
a year, and the future construction of multifamily housing and
commercial uses is projected to generate an additional eighty million dollars.
Speaking of the Stellar Hotel, tomorrow's council agenda includes a
(21:37):
request to allow the hotel owner to keep another year
of hotel occupancy tax money. The request is to compensate
the hotel for reduced occupancy during the pandemic. The maximum
amount of money the hotel will keep from the city
to and a quarter million dollars is not changing Bill
Oliver sixteen to twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
The Texas A and M System Board of Regents chooses
an interim presce cident at the Flagship Campus. Region's chairman
Bob Alberton of Fort Worth said it was a unanimous
selection to bring on Tommy Williams and Aggie Graduated, who
spent ten years as a state senator representing the Woodlands
before working for the system as a lobbyist in Austin.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
We're not going to put a timeline on the search
for our next president. We're going to make sure that
this next president is the exact right person to lead
us forward, and so we are very comfortable that Tommy
can act in the interim forever long it takes us
to do this job right.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
All Britain was the only regent who made a comment
after the Board spent nearly two hours in executive session.
While the Northgate district continues to produce more high rise
student apartment complexes, it's also one of the most prolific
areas of Texas for underage drinking. That was part of
an update on ours show from Municipal Judge Ed Splaine.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
One out of six mips minor and Possession of alcohol
filed in Texas has filed in our court and it's
almost for the most part coming from Northgate.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Last Monday in municipal Court, Splaine handled sixty minor in
possession of alcohol cases.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
I get really kind of up when we get an
MIP second, because that clearly either someone has an alcohol
problem or they just haven't learned the lesson right.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
But it is a big factor. We're seeing a lot
of that.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
The judge also says the annual amnesty period for warrants
issued by College Station Municipal Court starts a week from
today and continues through Halloween. That saves offenders a warrant
fee that is increasing to seventy five dollars. The hour
before the bars in the Northgate district closed on Saturday morning,
College Station police arrested two men for reckless driving where
both drivers did burnouts on Church Avenue. Both drivers were
(23:32):
released from jail after posting bonds. One of the men,
a twenty year old from suburban Fort Worth, was also
charged with DWI with an open container and I'm awful
carrying of a weapon. A Brian man was arrested last
week for assaulting a sixty five year old man in July.
The arrest report from the Brazos County Sheriff's Office says
the victim was treated at his home after he was
punched in the face with a closed fist and for
(23:54):
a dog bite from the suspects pit bull. The arrest
report does not say what happened to the dog when
forty three year old Dale Hindergraft went to jail. District
court record say pinder Graft pleaded guilty in May to
possessing a controlled substance and was placed on three years probation.
That's after he spent two months in jail after probation
was revoked following a conviction for deadly conduct three years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Two months into.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The school year, College Station ISD school board members receive
an update on the district's new technology to monitor school buses,
their drivers, and the more than thirty six hundred students
who are passengers. And Transportation director Shannon Caltharp says more
than thirty three hundred parents are using an app that
monitors the whereabouts of their students who are being tracked with.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
A bad They can be notified as many times as
they want. Maybe that parent that wants to know when
they go through every single intersection, I don't really want
all that information. I just want to know maybe when
you're five minutes from my house.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That's fine too.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Safety features include parents giving permission for someone else to
pick up their child.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
The driver can ask for an ID and if that
person actually is supposed to be there and get Little Johnny,
then we can go ahead and let them have them.
If they're not, then we just take them back to school.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Caltharp says one thing the technology does not automatically do
is give parents notice of buses that are behind schedule.
She manually issues those notices to parents through the app.
Last year, Brazos County had the sixth largest number of
four H members in the state, with seven hundred. Recognizing
this week as National four H Week. County commissioners learned
from four H agent Ashley Sugg that the number is
(25:21):
now more than seven hundred and twenty.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
They're projects ranging from the traditional ag in livestock to
stem healthy living, archery, shooting, sports, and community service.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Sug also said today is Go Green Day to promote
four h W. Tw news time is eight thirty six
at sixty nine degrees. You can find more news anytime
at WTAW dot com. I'm Chelsea Reeber for sixteen, twenty
ninety four to five WTAWA.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
Good morning, it's a thirty eight. It's the infomaniacs on
this Monday morning. Let's have a look at our weather.
It's brought to you this morning by Yananda Roofing and
she battle home with the Dura Last roof system, world's
best roof give them call it two six eight roof
Cody nine reopros dot com Hi today probably about ninety
one ninety two something like that will do.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
That.
Speaker 9 (26:04):
Looks like the first four days of this week anyway,
low temperatures will be around seventy ish and northeasterly winds,
so which should be kind of pleasant out there. So do
you real I've heard this? Factor saw it someplace. University
of Texas had not played at Florida since nineteen forty.
(26:24):
Oh wow, okay, nineteen forty they've only played five times
in their history.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
But man, I just uh, that's amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Those sort of things are incredible to me. You know,
when Arkansas played Notre Dame the other day, that was
the first time those teams had met, even though they
shared a coach, Lou Holtz coach did both of them.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, so I heard something wild on game day on Saturday.
Miami is not playing outside of the state of Florida
until November?
Speaker 10 (26:54):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Because they're either they were at home or they played
they went to Florida State.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
This last weekend, right, and I guess that's it. Like
they've been at.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Home or on a bye or at Florida State and
then they're at home, at home, at home until November
when they come to SMU man.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
That is a that's wild nice travel budget for the year.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Yeah, and then Penn State has to go to Los
Angeles for a conference game.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I know, I know, And yeah, there's been a lot
of talk about the miles that certain teams are traveling,
but hey, they wanted to be part of a conference
some of them.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Like I'm not saying all of them, but.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
That's but you know, folks like you at well and
we'll see. That's the other thing.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
So u c l A wins and they carry uh,
you know Rick Neuheiseel's sun as the offensive coordinator and
he looks like Rick new Heiseel used to long long
blonde hair. They carry, they pick him up on their
shoulders and carry him. But not the interim coach.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Right, you know, well offensive coordinated, they put up a
lot of points.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
Okay, te tell me that there's no pressure in that situation.
You're the interim coach at u c l A. The
dad of an assistant coach the offensive coordinators on national television,
who's a former.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Coach at U c l A. Yeah tell me that
that that kid's not going to end up being the
new head football coach at UCLA.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
But anyway, none of that, We're not a sports day
in the meantime, as a pretty good win on you know,
just it it was nice to relax.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I still, yeah, I'm still it's a new feeling.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
Yes, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I haven't felt like this in a long time, and
I'm still coming to terms with what it is exactly.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
Well, I got to go back to Johnny.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
That was it.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
I mean, yeah, we got that feeling. You know, we're
going to win.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
If he's on the field, we're going to win. And yes,
it's it's just yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Speaking of you ruffled some feathers in Tuscaloosa this weekend.
Oh well yeah he so he went to Alabama for
the game, but him and a Diego Pavia has been
the quarterback for Vanderbilt, has been pretty outspoken about Johnny
being one of his kind of.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Idols, like that's who he's number two? Where's number two?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That's like who he you know, styles his play after
and so so Johnny was actually at the game on
on the Vanderbilt sideline wearing a Pavia jersey. Yeah, and
some Tescalusa, you know, you can imagine the Alabama fans
had a few things to say about him. After sure,
he did what he did in Alabama back in the day.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Exactly. I heard some talk about the fact that he
was opening a bar with the Pavia family or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Well, there was suppose there was like a new bar
in Tuscaloosa and they were going to allow Johnny to
be there for like a watch party, and he's done
these for certain reasons, and apparently a bunch of Obama people,
you know, of course, came out and said they were
going to boycott the bar.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You're a bar in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You probably don't want your home fan base to not
want to come to your established member. Yeah, And so
I think that's why he ended up just going to
the game and watching the game there.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
But it was also a little odd.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
On game day they had THEO Vaughn, who is a podcaster.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
He is a very.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well known Vanderbilt fan like Liz and Nashville, but he
was the celebrity guest picker on game day in tuscalootions.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
My.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, and he's been a picker before, and I think
because he was gonna be there, they were like, oh,
you know, I don't know. It's always a little questionable sometimes, Yeah,
who they pick.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I thought he was terrible.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, he was absolutely, that's not his environment.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
No, And it just it was a very it was
a very weird I mean, and the celebrity guest pickers
are not always great, Like some of them just look uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
They're obviously not used to talking sports. They're you know, it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Can just be a little and he's done it before.
I still didn't love the pick. I didn't think he
was entertaining by any means. So yeah, it'll be interesting
to see how they continue picking their celebrities this year
on game day.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
So politics has gotten to be pretty strange in the
state of Alabama. Tommy Tubberville, who used to be a
coach at many places including Texas, A and M but
at Auburn was the head coach, is now a United
States Senator. Okay, that's happened before. Coaches have gone and
done that, or athletes. Well, now he is going to
(31:05):
vacate the Senate and he is going to run for
governor of Alabama. There was more than a little discussion
that Bruce Pearl, the Auburn basketball coach, would decide to
run for as a Republican, to run for that senatorial seat. Well,
now they've made his son, I think, the coach in
(31:27):
waiting at Auburn, and so he said, I'm going to stay.
I said, I'm going to stay.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Now.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
So now one of the names being floated to run
for the United States Senate from Alabama is Paul Feinbaum.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
That is so crazy.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Paul Feinbaum has moved back. He used to do his
show in Charlotte. He's moved back to Alabama, and he
has commented on this. I mean he has said if
President Trump asked, he said, I've tried to be non
partial in a lot of things we do, but if
President Trump asks me to run for senator, I will
do it.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I know. Oh man, okay.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Interesting it is going to host the Collins Show from
the floor there.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Well, you know, this man makes a lot of money,
but he has to talk to some insufferable I mean,
it's that the show is just insufferable.
Speaker 10 (32:20):
But you know that's fine. It's okay.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
It's uh, well he's used to that, now that'll that'll
serve him well, and.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Go that's true.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
Yeah, I just, man, I don't get it. I just
and I understand he might want to retire from radio
and not do that, but why would you want to
be you want to do that?
Speaker 10 (32:36):
It just makes no.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Sense the power trip for some people.
Speaker 10 (32:39):
A yeah, I guess that's that.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Not saying it's that that's what it is for him.
I'm just saying thought that comes with it.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
You bet.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
It's eight forty six. It's the inflamat X on NA Monday.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
So we're talking on the other side of the half
hour about the Golden Globes is adding a category for.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Podcasts, Yes, for Best podcast and so they have named
the twenty five eligible podcasts, which is compiled by the
data company Illuminate, and then from that pool, there will
be six that are chosen as final nominees and then
obviously they will announce the winner. I believe January eleventh
is when the Golden Globes are going to be next year.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
So here are the twenty five.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
This is alphabetical order, and again these are just the
eligible ones, and it doesn't tell me exactly what makes
them eligible, but illuminate as obviously they're They are the
industry's leading authority on audio analytics and instein. Okay twenty
twenty from ABC News, forty eight hours from CBS News
Armchair Expert with Dak Sheppard, Been around a long time,
(33:37):
Call her Daddy, which is the one with Alex Cooper.
Candace who is Candace Owens? Oh yeah, crime Junkie. So
there's one of your first crime ones. Dateline NBC. Good
Hang with Amy Poehler, which is very new, but she's
doing a great job with it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
A podcast called Morbid. I haven't heard of that one.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
Sounds like something you'd lie.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
I know, it does right to be a crime thing, right,
Mister Ballin podcast Strange Ark and Mysterious Stories.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
I hadn't heard that one either.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Pardon my take, which is the biggest barstool podcast that
there is to sports guys, Sports Guys pod Save America.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Something called Rotten Mango. Hadn't heard that one either.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
I think that's a crime podcast as well.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Okay, The Sean Ryan Show, SmartLess. There you go.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
There's those guys stuff you should know. The Ben Shapiro Show,
the Bill Simmons Podcast, The Daily which is from the
New York Times, the Joe Rogan Experience, the Megan Kelly Show,
the Mel Robbins Podcast, which is like a self help typing,
the Tucker Carlson Show. We were just talking about him
this past weekend with theovon and up first from NPR.
Speaker 10 (34:42):
Huh yep.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
So again, six of those will be named the nominees
for the actual Golden Globe.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
And then there will be one that is picked.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
That's going to be so difficult because I mean, just
take the first one twenty twenty all right, right, that's news,
that's news centric.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I know those are interest I'll be interested if those
end up being nominees or if they go with the
more like call her daddy crime junkie, Joe Rogan, Amy Poehler,
like people who are coming out with more I guess
you could call like original content versus news content.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
Right, I'm gonna bet that THEO Vaughn is not gonna
win his gold Globe, and if he does, I don't
want to watch the acceptance speech.
Speaker 9 (35:24):
You know, the thing is that I've gotten I mean
I listened to SmartLess.
Speaker 10 (35:29):
Some I don't listen the.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Way I used I haven't listened in a while.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Yeah, well because it ends up it's just like one
more stop on a junket.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yes, exactly, And that's what's you know, it is interesting
the ones like that where they're just and call her daddy,
like she she interviews.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Celebrities like that's what she does now.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Her content is much different than like the guys on SmartLess,
as is you know, the Joe Rogan experience obviously, but yeah,
the ones where they're just you know, interviewing celebt berdies
that are pitching or promoting their their newest film or
musicians who are you know, promoting a new album. You know,
how different can that kind of content be all the time?
Speaker 10 (36:11):
And it was clear.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
I listened to and enjoyed hearing the Lionel Richie podcast
with the on SmartLess, but it's clear they didn't know
much about him. Oh he knew nothing about this. I mean,
he knew nothing.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
It was part of him on Rogan.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
He's doing the junket, right, do you remember whose guest
he was? Scott? It probably doesn't even matter, no, curious.
Speaker 9 (36:38):
It's interesting because he grew up across the street from
Tuskegee Institute, Okay, and I mean his mom was an
English teacher. I don't know that his dad was on
the faculty, but he knew the college president. He said,
you know, the president's house is right across the street,
and talking about all that stuff.
Speaker 10 (36:56):
And so the guys didn't know Tuskegee.
Speaker 9 (37:00):
They thought, oh, oh, the University of Alabama.
Speaker 10 (37:03):
He said, no, Testigee like the Teskegee Airman. I mean,
they had no clue.
Speaker 9 (37:07):
And I went, man, that was really not a good
good look. It was interesting to hear his background. He
telled a great story and he remembers a lot of things.
And so from that standpoint, he's got a book coming out.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
The book.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Maybe I'm not going to read it, but yeah, but it.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Just and to understand a lot of these podcasts started
during the pandemic. Oh yeah, and so that certainly was
a driving force right there for what your guests, you
know who your guests were, because everybody needed to have
something to do, they needed to get some content filled.
But man, I don't know that sure sounds like apples
and oranges. It just sounds so hard to pick one
(37:42):
podcast out of that list.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Say that that is the maybe, and again, this is
the first year they're doing it right, Maybe eventually they
do move to Okay, now we're going to say, you know,
comedy podcast, yeah, podcast, news podcast, political podcasts, celebrity because
you yeah, there are so many different kind of categories
within this one.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
But ultimately, like also who Cares Sure?
Speaker 9 (38:07):
And you know, one of the ones that I'd listened
to is Acquired, and Acquired is a long podcast there.
They generally run about three hours, but they're not regular.
I mean, it's when they finish having doing their research.
What they do is they look into a company, do
a deep dive, so when they finish there, they've got
their content ready to go. Then they record, as opposed
(38:28):
to most all of these that come out every week, right.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Which is amazing that they they do the research, they
take the time that The problem is you also have
to make sure your listeners are aware of when you're
releasing that new podcast, that new episode. And that's the
tough part when you when you have an irregular production schedule.
Speaker 9 (38:46):
And they've they've done a good job of extending their brand.
They've done live presentations and things like that, so they're
they're they're keeping people.
Speaker 10 (38:53):
Aware of it. And but I just go and check
IF's on Spotify. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
So is Joe Rogan once a week, several times a
week sometimes.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Okay, I was gonna say, because part of my take,
I have actually been listening to a lot of lately,
and they are Monday, Wednesday, Friday. But that's probably the
I'm assuming most of these, well besides the news ones,
they're probably every single day.
Speaker 10 (39:14):
Yeah, they are, so Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
It's also just interesting how much work they put in
a week.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Well, certain ones.
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Yeah, And that's the thing is, Yeah, I think you're right.
Rogan does a lot for a while, and then maybe
he takes a break. It's hard to know, but he
tries to stay so topical on things. Sure, and if
people are going to be in town, then then that
certainly works out. But again his are long too, Yeah,
very long. It seen for me the next about five
minutes tail on this Monday morning.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
Amazon in their drones huh.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
Yeah, absolutely, of course they just left here. Apparently over
in Arizona last week, two of their drones, the m
K thirty variety, crashed into each other, and now two
federal agencies are stepping in to investigate what happened, and
they have paused the drune to liveries in the West
Valley Phoenix metro area as a result of the crash.
(40:05):
So those two prime are air delivery drones.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
I didn't get my toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Yeah, they crashed apparently crashed into a crane.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
I thought they crashed into one.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
And yeah, I thought they did too. But I'm looking
at this a bit first.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
It's not good either.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
They crashed into a crane. I guess. Of course, there
weren't any lights on a crane. I wouldn't guess. And
then you know, when you have a for example, when
you have a radio tower, you have lights on it
so you can avoid that sort of thing. But they
were flying back to back when they crashed into the crane,
so one right behind the other.
Speaker 10 (40:34):
There you are. That's a little bit scary.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Yeah, they landed in parking lots and there was one
man injured after inhaling smoke from the wreckage and he
was treated. But thank goodness that it didn't land on anybody.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Huh.
Speaker 10 (40:46):
All right, so I didn't see this.
Speaker 9 (40:48):
While we were talking about onion rings a little while ago,
Burger King quietly packing up its most polarizing crown. The
remember that that weird looking king that they had.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
No king.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Ye're about the food.
Speaker 10 (41:07):
He's going away.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
They're going to refocus on a more family friendly image
and something that will be a little more kid centric.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Yeah, he was kind of the stuff of nightmares.
Speaker 10 (41:15):
Yeah, well what do he kind of? Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
I mean all of these things are like all of
these mascots for certain restaurants, it's like they're just a
little like like the Jack in the Box guy with
the the you know, the Jack in the Box head
and the King. I mean, I don't know, like none
of them are super fun looking.
Speaker 10 (41:33):
No, Ronald McDonald was okay.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Unless you don't like class you don't.
Speaker 9 (41:37):
Like and then of course we had Grimace and the
Hamburglarer and those those things. But yeah, anyway, he's going away.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Like I think the.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Cows from Chick fil A are probably the best, but
they're real cow.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Yeah, nobody hates the cow.
Speaker 9 (41:51):
No, that's uh. And they and they do funny signs
and stuff like that. Yeah, So here we go. We've
there's been a lot to talk about the supply check. Well,
actually we talked about Burger King. My wife likes burger.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Okay, I was going to say that earlier. I said
I hadn't been to one.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
But I remember you saying that a few years ago
Jackie actually really likes Burger It's not.
Speaker 10 (42:09):
We don't and we don't eat their regular ye.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
I don't need a lot of fast food in general.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Yeah, but like she went someplace at Burger King, well
for you, all right, somebody needs to all right, soay.
With lots of stories about supply chains in recent years
and now, criminals are ditching stores and actually trying to
get involved in stealing things within the supply chain. For example,
in Windsor, Ontario, there have been four tractor trailers stolen
(42:37):
in four months. Thieves are usually targeting expensive hauls like
whiskey and beef, and that that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Sure.
Speaker 9 (42:46):
Latest one's a little bit one off. Truck and trailer
stolen about a week ago, packed with thirty five thousand
dollars worth of salsa.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Salsa salsa.
Speaker 9 (42:57):
The truck was later abandoned, but the trailer and the
saucers still missing. It's uh, not clear exactly what kind
of salsa it was. Uh, it's unclear if the thieves
got bad intel. Maybe it was supposed to be something different.
It was a crime of opportunity. They were hoping that
they had something valuable could be that. Yeah, maybe they've
(43:17):
got a lot of chips and they want to get
together and have a pirates.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Something straight out of the Sopranos.
Speaker 9 (43:23):
The problem is, salsa seems like a difficult project to offload.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Right, who do you yeah, who do you sell it to?
Speaker 3 (43:31):
Yah?
Speaker 4 (43:32):
I got some black markets salsa over.
Speaker 9 (43:33):
Hey, you want to buy some salsa? Yeah, police are
asking for the public's help. If you know anything.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Anybody's been offering you some salt, some deals on some
salsa packages.
Speaker 9 (43:44):
I just somehow I can't imagine. So I'm going to
save this. I got it's plants.
Speaker 10 (43:51):
That glow in the dark.
Speaker 4 (43:53):
Oh yeah, it.
Speaker 10 (43:56):
Should be fun.
Speaker 9 (43:57):
And then apparently, Chelsea, you were ahead of your time
when it was what three or four years ago when
you would take your shoes off and mister Downs didn't
like that very much, is that right?
Speaker 10 (44:06):
And he would complain about that.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
You would get so mad at me. I don't even
walk out in the hallway with bare feet. It was
just in my room. And apparently now at certain places
of work they're asking they all take off their shoes.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
I saw this article last week.
Speaker 9 (44:20):
Yeah the magazine, Yeah, Fortune magazine did a big story.
The Guardian in England has two. They are banning shoes
from the workplace, you know, yeah, and especially in some startups.
Speaker 10 (44:31):
But I mean leave your shoes at the door.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
I don't know a cleanliness thing or do. They just
want to promote relaxation, no comfort.
Speaker 9 (44:38):
I mean what feels casual sometimes makes you unprofessional, but
it could make you comfortable and you do better in
your job. We're back tomorrow. Bridebroadcasting Station, WGAW College Station.
