WTAW news time is five minutes after six.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It is seventy degrees. Good morning. I'm Chelsea Rebert.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Our story this week about the Brass County Commission approving
more authority to approve contracts without first going to the
elected body was not mandated by a new state law.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Here's what Commissioner Fred Brown said during the September thirtieth
meeting about the request that came from the director of
the county's Purchasing Office.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Now, there's nothing we can do about it. It gives
me pause the entire thing, just that it is state law.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Now, looking further into the request, there are no new
state laws. One section of the Texas Government Code that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven and another amended in
twenty eleven gives the Commission the option of giving the
Purchasing Office director authority to, among other things, approved contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars. Commissioners were assured
at the September thirtieth meeting that they will be informed
(00:53):
of future decisions. Bill Oliver sixteen twenty ninety four to
five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Brass County District Court's administrative judge is retiring eighty fifth
District Court Judge Kyle Hawthorne, who is not running for
reelection next year, said he wants to sneak out as
quietly as possible.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
My wife and family and I made the decision a
little while back, and then I told my staff first,
and then I told the other judges, and then I
just kind of left it at that where it spread
as it normally would in courthouse gossip.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Hawthorne was first elected in twenty fourteen and was re
elected in twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
If I recall correctly, when I ran, I said, you know,
I think three terms is kind of a good quitting spot,
and so I think it's a good time to go
let some new eyes get on it.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
The upcoming vacancy has drawn at least one announced candidate.
Assistant Brazos County District Attorney Jennifer Abert leads the juvenile
in civil divisions. Next January is the goal to implement
a master plan for economic development efforts in College Station.
At the city Council's last meeting, a draft plan was
presented by an Austin Bay Consulting Company consultant, Jennifer Todd
(02:02):
Goyn said. One focus area is titled Industry.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
How can we really expand that thriving, diverse foundation that
you already have of talent, businesses and industry to create
that diversify tech space and enhance economic opportunity.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Another is titled Innovation.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Here we're looking at how can we create College Station
as a hub for technology driven entrepreneurship, research and development,
business formation and growth, and wrap around support.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Goin says the four focus areas are components of a
vision statement where College Station becomes the nation's most vibrant
university community, a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced,
and quality of life is unmatched, resulting in sustained prosperity
and economic competitiveness.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The City of.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Brian currently has twenty seven housing subdivisions in some form
of development, amounting to more than one thousand lots.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
We had a lot of questions when people are moving
into town, you know, or the new subdivision, how many
lots available? And that's probably the largest number I think
that I've ever seen of available lots.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
That was part of City Manager Keen Register's last city
project update before he retires next month. Well, this week's
Brian City Council meeting included no opposition to the design
of the future signature playground at Midtown Park. The construction
contract has yet to be awarded. That is scheduled to
take place during a special meeting next Tuesday. That agenda
item provides more information about the four point two million
(03:21):
dollar project. Among the one hundred and twenty five components
are fifty eight elevated play areas and three shaded pavilions
with picnic tables. Mayor Bobby Gutierrez responded to questions of
why the playground does not include splash pads or other
water features.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
One of the reasons they didn't want the splash pad,
and they said, is because they didn't want their kids
going out there getting all wet and then they get dirty,
and then they got to put them in the car and.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Will there remains two hundred and seventy two thousand dollars
in the project budget. City staff will propose funding sources
to add restrooms and electrical service at the playground. The
Browss Valley Veterans Memorial will dedicate its nineteenth memorial site
next Monday morning. The Brian City Council's representative on the
Memorial Board, James Edge, previewed the dedication of a statue
remembering the Kosovo War.
Speaker 9 (04:07):
There's a life sized bronze statue created by j Payne
Laura and it depicts a female combat pilot.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Monday Mornings program starts at nine. The featured speaker is
a retired Air Force combat pilot, Wendy Woodard, who now
works as a Texas A and M professor mentoring members
of the Core of Cadets. WTAW news time is nine
minutes after six at seventy degrees. More news at six
thirty or online at WTAW dot com. I'm Chelsea Reebert
for sixteen twenty ninety four five WTAW.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
Devoting six twelve on a Thursday. It's the infomani X.
Glad you're with us. Let's have a look at our weather.
It's brought to you by UNII Roofing and Cheat Metal,
home of the dural Last roof system, world's best roof
can We'll call it two six eight roof Code United
Roofingpros dot Com. All right, here we go. High temperature
today probably going to be about ninety three degrees. Continue
in the northeast winds. I mean it's like we've got
a little pattern going on here. Anyway, Load of night
(04:56):
sixty five, Load tomorrow night's sixty one. Loadamark on Saturday
ie sixty two. So seventy right now, there you are, there,
you go.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Number nine Texas and n volleyball dropped a tough one
last night to Kentucky. We will talk about that and
more coming up in sports.
Speaker 10 (05:10):
All right, So we have technology everywhere now right, I mean,
do you like to just unplug, get off the grid
every once in a while. Yeah, just so nice to
put your phone down, get away from stuff. Yeah, maybe
read or just sit outside and enjoy things.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Stare at the wall.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Technology apparently now is taking over a part of our
life that we really ought to do ourselves, and that's
make decisions. A survey of two thousand adults reveals that
about seventy percent rely on AI and social media for
major life choices.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Whatever happened to flip in a coin?
Speaker 10 (05:49):
I know that, you know, we talked about that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
There's an app for that, yes right.
Speaker 10 (05:54):
We mentioned how a dilemma. The word dilemma used to
mean you had two choices this or that and there
is a trial. Emn I had no idea, but yeah
I didn't either. No, but anyway, about forty eight percent
of people admit to ignoring their gut feeling ooh, and
then later regretting it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah. See, that's worse.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's one thing if you're just I don't know, you're
automatically going and you you know, you just don't know.
Sometimes I just don't want to make a decision, So
it is nice to be able to go somewhere else
and just have somebody pick something for me. But if
you're going against your own gut, that's an issue bad news.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
And I think that I don't know. I want to
say that it happens in younger people rather than older,
but I don't know that that's necessarily true. Yeah, niot. What
they're saying is that the three things that they mentioned
are your romantic life, your love life, your finances, and
your career, which are three pretty dang important things.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, I'm not going to leave that up to AI.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
Technology guides bigger decisions multiple times monthly for over a
third of the people who responded to this survey, I mean.
And then when it comes to health advice online, consultations
at fifty four percent. Now, I understand that because you
can at least get a picture of what WebMD or
(07:16):
whatever it happens to be that you go and say,
what is this, what are the what are the symptoms,
what are the treatment? But then at the end of
the day, I think you're going to have to go
to a medical professional.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, if you can't fix it yourself, yeah, it doesn't
get better the WebMD.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I mean, let's face it, my wife diagnosed herself with
a fairly serious disease that was absolutely nothing using WebMD
years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So you can find whatever you want if you dig
far enough. But you could say the same thing about
like financial advice. I mean, there's a ton of information
online if you're wondering about I don't know, investing or
you know, things like that. But then ultimately, do you
still want to go talk to a human being? I
mean that just depends on your personality.
Speaker 10 (07:55):
Sure. And of course, now that's amazing is business news.
I mean it used to be like on the national
news they would have one business person who would come
on and do like a I don't know, two and
a half minute story on something every once in a while.
Now we have entire networks about the big business, and
the problem with that is you have to fill that time,
(08:17):
and so you got to fill that time with people
who have all sorts of ideas about you know, you
need to invest in this syrophoam cup company because they're
going to be a really really big thing and all
that kind of stuff. And then the next guy comes
on and goes, ah, that's syrophone. Mat stays Nay, you
need to do something else. And so I can see
how people get confused, and there you do. You need
to trust someone to do that to help you. But
(08:39):
those are areas that you don't know maybe anything about,
And sure from that standpoint, I see it can help.
But still so the health advice leads, like I said,
to consultations to about half of them, the financial decisions
about a third, and then the career's twenty percent, which
is interesting because after all, you know more about yourself
than AI does. Say, I can't tell you what your
(09:01):
career needs to.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Be well, but you could say, hey, I have these skills,
this is what I have done. What is something that
I could be good at? Because like you, I'll use
myself personally. Right now, all I've done is radio and broadcasting.
But I know that I have skills that could apply
in other areas of the work world. But do you
don't how many jobs are out there that you don't
(09:23):
even know exist. Yeah, so when you know, you think
about it like that, like, okay, what you know? I
didn't know a dog lover wine drinker connoisseur existed, Like, oh.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
My gosh, it would be perfect to that, you know,
But in a I showed me that, you know, so
there are ways.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's not like, hey, AI tell me that I should
quit my job and be a and be a scone
baker Like no, of course, but it can help you
discover things that you just didn't know we were even
out there.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
It's a tool to use in making a decision, but
it's not the tool that you should use to make
the decision, and.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Especially going against your gut.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
A scout baker, it's a big gig. You're getting this.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Ever baked a thing in my life A I told
me I'd be great a Scouts in the I do
need to find out where that dog lover wine drinker
kind of sword job is because I just made that
up and it sounds perfect.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Well, the problem is they're in Mississippi and Alabama.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
They don't drink.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Wine and either one of those places, the moonshine and
make it themselves.

Speaker 4 (10:56):

Let's tell our WTAW news.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Time is six thirty, It's seventy degrees. Good morning. I'm
Chelsea reverb.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Brass's County commissioners, at their last business meeting voted to
give the Purchasing Office more authority over approving contracts, but
that was not required by a new state law.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Commissioner Fred Brown, who was part of the unanimous vote
giving the purchasing office authority to sign off on contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars, believe they were
mandated to give up control.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
When you talk about one hundred thousand dollars, that's a
lot of flexibility for staff that it doesn't have to
come to us.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
This was caused by the legislature.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
A further check by WTAW News with county officials confirmed
there are no new state laws. The commissions vote reflected
a request from the director of the County these Purchasing Office,
who signed two sections of the Texas Government Code. Both sections,
one which was amended in twenty eleven and another that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven, gives the commission the
(16:11):
option of allowing the director to authorize those contracts, among
other things. Bill Oliver sixteen, twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Next year's local elections will include choosing a new District
Court judge. Kyle Hawthorne is not running for a fourth
term as eighty fifth district judge.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
You got a deadline in November that you got to
say whether you are you aren't. And you know, probably
after the first year, I was looking at the future,
given my age and health and all of that, and
talking it over with family, and I just think it's time.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Hawthorne's as being judge has been the most enjoyable experience
of his nearly forty year legal career.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Obviously, though cliche is, I was honored at the people
of Preses County allowed me to do it, and I'm
happy with my decision, happy that I got the opportunity
to do this.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
There is at least one person who has announced their
candidacy for the upcoming vacancy. Jennifer Abare leads the Brazos
County District Attorney's Office Civil and Juvenile Divisions. A woman
from Kerrville is in the Brazos County jail on charges
of breaking into seven work trucks that were parked in
Wison Valley and attempting to steal up to twenty thousand
dollars in copper wiring. A Brazos County Sheriff's deputy Rights
(17:22):
and his arrest report that multiple shoe prints next to
a stack of tools and spools of copper that were
removed from the trucks matched the shoes of the forty
two year old woman who denied burglarizing the vehicles.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
The woman told the deputy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
She had parked in the lot because she got tired
while driving from Montgomery County to Kerrville. The College Station
City Council's last meeting included a presentation from outside consultants
based in Austin who were hired to create a master
plan for economic development. One thing the council heard was
a vision statement.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
College Station will be the nation's most vibrant university community,
a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced, and quality
of life is unmatched, resulting and sustained prosperity and economic competitiveness.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Jennifer Todd Goyn said the vision statement will be accomplished
by achieving four focus areas.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
One is creating an identity, and here we're.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Looking at how can we create those university and community
synergies to create dynamic districts and authentic places that are
good for residents, businesses, students and visitors, and not every
place has to serve every population.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Other focus areas are creating a diversified tax base established
the city as an innovation hub and positioning the city
as an economic leader. The consultant's goal is to finalize
then implement the master plan next January. Next Monday morning
is the dedication of the nineteenth Memorial site at the
Brass Valley Veterans Memorial. A preview was given by Brian
(18:42):
counselman James Edge, who represents the city on the memorial board.
Edge says the dedication is for a life size statue
of a female pilot in the coast of a war
and the featured speaker is a retired Air Force combat
pilot who also held key leadership roles with the Air
Force ROTC program.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Woodard serves currently as a professor at Texas and University,
where she mentors young leaders in the core of cadets.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Monday morning's program starts at nine at the Memorial, which
is located at Veterans Park just inside the Harvey Road Entrends.
The City of Brian has provided more details about the
playground that is coming to Midtown Park. The information comes
from the agenda of a special meeting of the City
Council next Tuesday, where official action will be taken on
awarding the four point two million dollar contract. This follows
(19:26):
a presentation of the park design at this week's council
meeting that received no council opposition. Mayor Bobby Gaettierra has
said flat splash pads or other water features are not
included because that would result in children leaving and wearing
wet clothes, and it.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Makes perfect sense if you're traveling with the big group
and a bunch of kids. You don't want to have
to if you're out of town, change your kids three
or four times a day.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The playground calls for one hundred and twenty five different
play components, including fifty elevated play areas that are accessible
by ramp and seventeen that are accessed on the ground level.
The final time Brian City Manage her Keen Register shares
a city project update during a council meeting before his retirement.
He's impressed by the current construction of new single family homes.
Speaker 11 (20:08):
There are currently twenty seven subdivisions or phases of subdivisions
under construction or at a recently accepted platfile within these subdivisions,
or one thousand and fifty six lots for single family
home developments.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
In Brin A Register says the number of available residential
lots is probably the largest he's ever seen. WTAW news
time is six thirty six at seventy degrees. More news
at the top of the hour or online at WTAW
dot com. I'm Chelsea Reebert for sixteen twenty ninety four
to five WTAW.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Good Morning, six thirty eight. It's the infomatiacs on this
Thursday morning. Let's have a look at our weather. It's
brought to you this morning by United Roofing Achieve Metal,
home of the duralast roof system, world's best roof can
call it two six eight roof Go to United Roofingpros
dot com. Probably about ninety three or so for a
high temperature today, excuse me, still continuing the northeast winds
which are kind of nice. Sixty five for low temperature today,
ninety one and sixty one tomorrow, and then on Saturday
(21:02):
we're looking at ninety four high and sixty two for low.
Right now, seventy out there.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has been
fined a quarter million dollars by the NFL. We will
talk about that and more coming up. In sports.
Speaker 10 (21:15):
He gave the magic symbol.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Yes, he did flew the finger salute who the fans
at the stadium. Oh oh, he's so yeah.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
I mean he's a successful business person, but every once
in a while his Arkansas sure shows in.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
A big way, in a big way.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Well anyway, all right.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Let me see the we may have a peace deal
apparently in the Middle East. That that was in the.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
News this morning.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Here's what we've got, uh is that it? Let me
see you No, here we go, here's the Gaza peace deal.
Speaker 12 (21:53):
We're really seeing two things happen at the same time.
Now above Gaza, we are seeing clouds of smoke continue
to rise, some military opera still underweight. At the same time,
we've seen some video footage of Red Cross vehicles driving
down the roadway alongside the Gaza coast, presumably to help
transport with those hostages. So no ceasefire yet, but things
here moving very quickly. The news broke across Israel about
(22:15):
three am. Since then people began to gather at Hostages
Square here in Tel Aviv. A real sense of elation,
a sense of celebration. What we're going to see next
will be a cabinet meeting. After that, the cabinet will
likely sign off on the piece deal and then we'll
come a hard cease fire. The IDEF expected to pull back.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
All right, so we'll see what happens. Yeah, fingers, absolutely,
that's it. All right. On a completely different subject, we
need to give some stuff away. We've been giving stuff
away this week.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
We like a lot of tickets, right, we do.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
We have tickets at Brass Valley, Breast Valley Fair and
Rodeo tickets again. Then that's coming up next weekend, and
then the Resistance Festival kicks off this weekend, so we're
going to have pair of tickets in both of those questions.
Is your favorite potato chip? Your favorite potato chip's okay?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, we can go I mean, and you can get
as detailed as you want. Flavor brand shape, Yeah, let
us know nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty.
Do need your first and last name if you want
to be able to win those tickets this morning?
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Yeah, because you know they've changed lot. Anyway, we'll talk
about it more next hour. But yeah, that's that's what
we're gonna do. We're gonna give give that away.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
So, according to a new report, average person has paid
around one hundred and fifty dollars in tips, in tips
they're not totally comfortable with, okay now, and it's over
last year, you know if they asked the question. So
there are some situations. I mean, so I don't think
(23:42):
a tip should be expected, but you like, I mean,
I'm saying, like the example that they have here is
an oil change or dog groomer. Oh okay, which is
interesting oil change.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
It wasn't that it was on and I remember we
talked about this on the show back when you still
get your car inspected. Yeah, and so it's like a
seven dollars cor inspection right at the quicker sticker and
the pad asked if.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I wanted to leave a tip?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, And I was like, wait what now a dog
groomer a dog? Yeah, I equate to like a hairstylist.
And you know, do you tip your your hairstylist? I
mean that's a to me, that's a service that you
know that they make you know, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Now, do you feel pressured into tipping more than you
want to, like for counter service, restaurant or ride service?
And again they mentioned here a hair salon, Yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I always tip the person who cuts
my hair.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I always do.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
Yeah, I mean yeah, I always have to, you know,
just for a couple of bucks.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well again, yeah, you're okay.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But let's say you're a female and you go and
next thing you know, you've been in the chair for
two hours, You've gotten a full highlight and a cut
and a blowout, and you're looking at two hundred fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, yeah, I mean tipping twenty percent on.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Top of that, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So that's where it gets tough when you know, for
certain things like services that get really expensive, twenty percent,
all of a sudden, you're udishing out another fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, so it's like, okay, wait.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I do want to tip you, And yes, like I
understand the percentage situation, but.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's a lot.
Speaker 10 (25:23):
There's a lot of money. Then there are situations where
people end up tipping for bad service because it's just
customary and you feel bad for the people if you
don't know that.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Or you look cheap. Yeah, I can get over real quick.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It depends on like, yeah, what the bad service is, Like,
there's so many yeah, different things, and I don't.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Know, one hundred and fifty dollars is low I've tipped
more than that in the last year. I mean I
just have oh all together, yeah yeah, and that's what
they Yeah, that's how they started that. But it's mostly
the extra bucks here and there, as opposed to the
huge ones that that people get annoyed about. You know,
did I need to tip that person this for? You know,
when you go to a restaurant, nice restaurant, whatever, and
(26:05):
it costs you, you know, one hundred bucks or whatever,
then you're going to tip that, you know, because of
good service and good food, but just nickel and dime.
I guess overall, sixty five percent of the people say
they are fed up with tipping. And that's up from
sixty percent last year. And if you go back two years,
i mean they're fifty that's fifty three percent increase. That's
that's significant.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Well, the you know, the recommended tip them out has
gone up over that time period, and so that's that's
probably why some of those frustrations have come on board.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
That's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, is it like is it recommended by who?
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Right, But then you look at the pad or yeah,
you know, and it's like it starts at twenty percent. Yeah, yeah,
and it was twenty twenty five thirty and like.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
What, yeah, yeah, that's right, and then you can, of
course you could also you could hit custom.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
And you can, but then you got to you know exactly, and.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
I'm impatient and they're standing there looking at.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
And they're yeah, I know. I've gotten better about this though.
I guess I've gotten for skin where I you know,
either I don't tip if I don't feel like it's
necessary because I go up to a counter, I order
the food and I take it out of the restaurant, right,
or if I just am like, listen, you're just assembling
(27:14):
the food, you're not actually like waiting on me or
serving me. I've gotten a little bit better about being
I guess I don't know cold hearted.
Speaker 10 (27:24):
Yeah, but well look it's your money. I mean every
now it costs more.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So and that's the other thing is everything is costing
more anyway. And so yeah, if you're if you're truly
just going by the percentages, you're spending more on tip.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Yees, that's also true. So speaking of so you're getting
your deluxe breakfast omelet it arrives, you cut it open,
you take your first bite, and you realize the cook
forgot your pepper jack cheese, Like, okay, whatever. Now you
have to make a decision. Do you eat it as
is or do you send it back? New survey shows
about one third of restaurant diners say they would never
(28:01):
send food back they are unhappy with what third that's
higher than what I Yeah, I had dinner with somebody
this week in fact, who sent it back because it
was what was wrong? It was a it wasn't cooked
the way they want to see that.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
One's that's tough. I was gonna ask.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But if you're spending a lot of money on your stake,
and especially if it's like really miscooked right, like you
want well done and your steak is bleeding, I could
see you saying, okay, no this, I can't eat this.
Speaker 10 (28:31):
Well this person, it's a little quirky. Uh So they
order the steak cooked medium plus. Oh, medium plus medium plus.
I don't know exactly what that means.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I've heard of rare plus, and if I'm at a
nice enough place, I will order it that suit. So
it's in between rare and medium. So the only thing
I can think of is medium plus. Is it's between
medium and medium.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
Well, I guess now.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You know, the the right place is they have temperatures
for every single one of these shorts, and you know
that that's how they make sure it's as accurate as possible.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
And they brought it back and uh and this person
said that the server said how's this and said fine,
I mean I don't know if it was or not. Yeah,
concerned about confrontation and worries over how the staff might
react are the key reasons that many people choose not
to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, I mean, you know, because you know, we see
it in movies, right, like you see you know, you
hear about it. But if it's something that is just
like blatantly wrong, like I ordered potatoes and I got
broccoli instead, like I'm gonna at least bring it to
their attention. But when it comes to like that, how
it's cooked, or maybe something was just a little bit off,
(29:48):
or they they left on something that you can easily
pick off like that, I'll just take care of myself.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
Take the black olives.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Out of that pay right, or like oh I asked
for no garnish, I can just like you know, worried
about the side.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Well, you know, I will send something back, but typically
I don't have a problem with my steaks being undercooked,
because I generally order them cooked just enough that a
good Aggie vet has a chance to revive it. Oh okay,
but yeah, I will send especially more expensive items if
they're done incorrectly. I'm more likely to send back my
(30:23):
wife or children's meals because I'm pretty easy going, and
typically if it's not too screwed up, I don't have
too bad a problem with it, although I will point
it out and still eat it, you know, Yeah, you
mention it.
Speaker 10 (30:34):
Yeah, I understand, that's the I don't know. I'm trying
to think of the last time I sent something back
and it has been a minute yet. But I think
more it's more often that they got it wrong and
what you were saying, Chelsea, rather than not cooking the
state properly right.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And if you're going to be that picky to order
medium plus, like when I order rare plus, as long
as it's like raresh, I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
With it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And again it all depends on the place, like I'm
not going to go to some I don't know. Yeah,
and I don't even know what that actually should look like.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Yeah, this is what I hear.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I just know what I like.
Speaker 13 (31:07):
Yeah, good morning, I'm will Welch with your morning sports update.
On sixteen, twenty ninety four, five wta W, the number
nine Texas A and M volleyball team fell to number
three Kentucky in a four set battle last night at
Reed Arena.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Three to one. The aggies unbeaten streak came to an
end versus the Wildcats, and him got off to a
hot start behind Logan Lednecki's seven first set kills to
take the opener. Kentucky responded, taking back to back frames
and in a fourth set that went into extras, the
visitors prevailed to take the match. Here's head coach Jamie
Morrison after the game.
Speaker 14 (31:46):
Kentucky's a great volleyball team, and they're not ranked third
in the country on accident, and it was kind of
an up and down match. So there's parts of it.
I'm proud of parts of it that we got to
get better at. So we dressed a little bit of
that after the third, and I thought my team responded
in a really positive way in the fourth. So I'm
proud of that piece and a little bit disappointed. And
I'll cut up right now that we couldn't push out
to five.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
The Marion and White returned to the road on Sunday
as they had to Starkville for a battle with the
Bulldogs starting at two o'clock. As the Aggies make their
final preparations to face Florida under the lights of Kyle
Field Saturday night, head coach Mike Elko knows that the
Gators have played some tough opponents this season in some
tough environments. They won't be intimidated. Hey, there's not going
to be any.
Speaker 14 (32:24):
Part of this water team that'll be intimidated in any way,
shape or form coming in here. We're gonna have to
beat them and that's what that's what's going to have
to happen.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
And they're going to come in play in their best.
Speaker 14 (32:32):
We're gonna have to play our best and it gonna
be a great SEC football game.
Speaker 4 (32:36):

It is seventy degrees. Good morning. I'm Chelsea Rebert.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Our story this week about the Brass County Commission approving
more authority to approve contracts without first going to the
elected body was not mandated by a new state law.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Here's what Commissioner Fred Brown said during the September thirtieth
meeting about the request that came from the director of
the county's Purchasing Office.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Now, there's nothing we can do about it. It gives
me pause the entire thing, just that it is state law.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Now, looking further into the request, there are no new
state laws. One section of the Texas Government Code that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven and another amended in
twenty eleven gives the Commission the option of giving the
Purchasing Office director authority to, among other things, approved contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars. Commissioners were assured
at the September thirtieth meeting that they will be informed
(00:53):
of future decisions. Bill Oliver sixteen twenty ninety four to
five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Brass County District Court's administrative judge is retiring eighty fifth
District Court Judge Kyle Hawthorne, who is not running for
reelection next year, said he wants to sneak out as
quietly as possible.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
My wife and family and I made the decision a
little while back, and then I told my staff first,
and then I told the other judges, and then I
just kind of left it at that where it spread
as it normally would in courthouse gossip.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Hawthorne was first elected in twenty fourteen and was re
elected in twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
If I recall correctly, when I ran, I said, you know,
I think three terms is kind of a good quitting spot,
and so I think it's a good time to go
let some new eyes get on it.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
The upcoming vacancy has drawn at least one announced candidate.
Assistant Brazos County District Attorney Jennifer Abert leads the juvenile
in civil divisions. Next January is the goal to implement
a master plan for economic development efforts in College Station.
At the city Council's last meeting, a draft plan was
presented by an Austin Bay Consulting Company consultant, Jennifer Todd
(02:02):
Goyn said. One focus area is titled Industry.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
How can we really expand that thriving, diverse foundation that
you already have of talent, businesses and industry to create
that diversify tech space and enhance economic opportunity.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Another is titled Innovation.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Here we're looking at how can we create College Station
as a hub for technology driven entrepreneurship, research and development,
business formation and growth, and wrap around support.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Goin says the four focus areas are components of a
vision statement where College Station becomes the nation's most vibrant
university community, a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced,
and quality of life is unmatched, resulting in sustained prosperity
and economic competitiveness.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The City of.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Brian currently has twenty seven housing subdivisions in some form
of development, amounting to more than one thousand lots.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
We had a lot of questions when people are moving
into town, you know, or the new subdivision, how many
lots available? And that's probably the largest number I think
that I've ever seen of available lots.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
That was part of City Manager Keen Register's last city
project update before he retires next month. Well, this week's
Brian City Council meeting included no opposition to the design
of the future signature playground at Midtown Park. The construction
contract has yet to be awarded. That is scheduled to
take place during a special meeting next Tuesday. That agenda
item provides more information about the four point two million
(03:21):
dollar project. Among the one hundred and twenty five components
are fifty eight elevated play areas and three shaded pavilions
with picnic tables. Mayor Bobby Gutierrez responded to questions of
why the playground does not include splash pads or other
water features.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
One of the reasons they didn't want the splash pad,
and they said, is because they didn't want their kids
going out there getting all wet and then they get dirty,
and then they got to put them in the car and.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Will there remains two hundred and seventy two thousand dollars
in the project budget. City staff will propose funding sources
to add restrooms and electrical service at the playground. The
Browss Valley Veterans Memorial will dedicate its nineteenth memorial site
next Monday morning. The Brian City Council's representative on the

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Number nine Texas and n volleyball dropped a tough one
last night to Kentucky. We will talk about that and
more coming up in sports.
Speaker 10 (05:10):
All right, So we have technology everywhere now right, I mean,
do you like to just unplug, get off the grid
every once in a while. Yeah, just so nice to
put your phone down, get away from stuff. Yeah, maybe
read or just sit outside and enjoy things.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Stare at the wall.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
Technology apparently now is taking over a part of our
life that we really ought to do ourselves, and that's
make decisions. A survey of two thousand adults reveals that
about seventy percent rely on AI and social media for
major life choices.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Whatever happened to flip in a coin?
Speaker 10 (05:49):
I know that, you know, we talked about that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
There's an app for that, yes right.
Speaker 10 (05:54):
We mentioned how a dilemma. The word dilemma used to
mean you had two choices this or that and there
is a trial. Emn I had no idea, but yeah
I didn't either. No, but anyway, about forty eight percent
of people admit to ignoring their gut feeling ooh, and
then later regretting it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah. See, that's worse.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It's one thing if you're just I don't know, you're
automatically going and you you know, you just don't know.
Sometimes I just don't want to make a decision, So
it is nice to be able to go somewhere else
and just have somebody pick something for me. But if
you're going against your own gut, that's an issue bad news.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
And I think that I don't know. I want to
say that it happens in younger people rather than older,
but I don't know that that's necessarily true. Yeah, niot. What
they're saying is that the three things that they mentioned
are your romantic life, your love life, your finances, and
your career, which are three pretty dang important things.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, I'm not going to leave that up to AI.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
Technology guides bigger decisions multiple times monthly for over a
third of the people who responded to this survey, I mean.
And then when it comes to health advice online, consultations
at fifty four percent. Now, I understand that because you
can at least get a picture of what WebMD or
(07:16):
whatever it happens to be that you go and say,
what is this, what are the what are the symptoms,
what are the treatment? But then at the end of
the day, I think you're going to have to go
to a medical professional.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Well, if you can't fix it yourself, yeah, it doesn't
get better the WebMD.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I mean, let's face it, my wife diagnosed herself with
a fairly serious disease that was absolutely nothing using WebMD
years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So you can find whatever you want if you dig
far enough. But you could say the same thing about
like financial advice. I mean, there's a ton of information
online if you're wondering about I don't know, investing or
you know, things like that. But then ultimately, do you
still want to go talk to a human being? I
mean that just depends on your personality.
Speaker 10 (07:55):
Sure. And of course, now that's amazing is business news.
I mean it used to be like on the national
news they would have one business person who would come
on and do like a I don't know, two and
a half minute story on something every once in a while.
Now we have entire networks about the big business, and
the problem with that is you have to fill that time,
(08:17):
and so you got to fill that time with people
who have all sorts of ideas about you know, you
need to invest in this syrophoam cup company because they're
going to be a really really big thing and all
that kind of stuff. And then the next guy comes
on and goes, ah, that's syrophone. Mat stays Nay, you
need to do something else. And so I can see
how people get confused, and there you do. You need
to trust someone to do that to help you. But
(08:39):
those are areas that you don't know maybe anything about,
And sure from that standpoint, I see it can help.
But still so the health advice leads, like I said,
to consultations to about half of them, the financial decisions
about a third, and then the career's twenty percent, which
is interesting because after all, you know more about yourself
than AI does. Say, I can't tell you what your
(09:01):
career needs to.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Be well, but you could say, hey, I have these skills,
this is what I have done. What is something that
I could be good at? Because like you, I'll use
myself personally. Right now, all I've done is radio and broadcasting.
But I know that I have skills that could apply
in other areas of the work world. But do you
don't how many jobs are out there that you don't
(09:23):
even know exist. Yeah, so when you know, you think
about it like that, like, okay, what you know? I
didn't know a dog lover wine drinker connoisseur existed, Like, oh.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
My gosh, it would be perfect to that, you know,
But in a I showed me that, you know, so
there are ways.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's not like, hey, AI tell me that I should
quit my job and be a and be a scone
baker Like no, of course, but it can help you
discover things that you just didn't know we were even
out there.

Let's tell our WTAW news.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Time is six thirty, It's seventy degrees. Good morning. I'm
Chelsea reverb.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Brass's County commissioners, at their last business meeting voted to
give the Purchasing Office more authority over approving contracts, but
that was not required by a new state law.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Commissioner Fred Brown, who was part of the unanimous vote
giving the purchasing office authority to sign off on contracts
of up to one hundred thousand dollars, believe they were
mandated to give up control.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
When you talk about one hundred thousand dollars, that's a
lot of flexibility for staff that it doesn't have to
come to us.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
This was caused by the legislature.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
A further check by WTAW News with county officials confirmed
there are no new state laws. The commissions vote reflected
a request from the director of the County these Purchasing Office,
who signed two sections of the Texas Government Code. Both sections,
one which was amended in twenty eleven and another that
was enacted in nineteen eighty seven, gives the commission the
(16:11):
option of allowing the director to authorize those contracts, among
other things. Bill Oliver sixteen, twenty ninety four to five WTAW.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Next year's local elections will include choosing a new District
Court judge. Kyle Hawthorne is not running for a fourth
term as eighty fifth district judge.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
You got a deadline in November that you got to
say whether you are you aren't. And you know, probably
after the first year, I was looking at the future,
given my age and health and all of that, and
talking it over with family, and I just think it's time.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Hawthorne's as being judge has been the most enjoyable experience
of his nearly forty year legal career.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Obviously, though cliche is, I was honored at the people
of Preses County allowed me to do it, and I'm
happy with my decision, happy that I got the opportunity
to do this.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
There is at least one person who has announced their
candidacy for the upcoming vacancy. Jennifer Abare leads the Brazos
County District Attorney's Office Civil and Juvenile Divisions. A woman
from Kerrville is in the Brazos County jail on charges
of breaking into seven work trucks that were parked in
Wison Valley and attempting to steal up to twenty thousand
dollars in copper wiring. A Brazos County Sheriff's deputy Rights
(17:22):
and his arrest report that multiple shoe prints next to
a stack of tools and spools of copper that were
removed from the trucks matched the shoes of the forty
two year old woman who denied burglarizing the vehicles.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
The woman told the deputy.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
She had parked in the lot because she got tired
while driving from Montgomery County to Kerrville. The College Station
City Council's last meeting included a presentation from outside consultants
based in Austin who were hired to create a master
plan for economic development. One thing the council heard was
a vision statement.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
College Station will be the nation's most vibrant university community,
a place where businesses thrive, innovation is embraced, and quality
of life is unmatched, resulting and sustained prosperity and economic competitiveness.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Jennifer Todd Goyn said the vision statement will be accomplished
by achieving four focus areas.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
One is creating an identity, and here we're.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Looking at how can we create those university and community
synergies to create dynamic districts and authentic places that are
good for residents, businesses, students and visitors, and not every
place has to serve every population.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Other focus areas are creating a diversified tax base established
the city as an innovation hub and positioning the city
as an economic leader. The consultant's goal is to finalize
then implement the master plan next January. Next Monday morning
is the dedication of the nineteenth Memorial site at the
Brass Valley Veterans Memorial. A preview was given by Brian
(18:42):
counselman James Edge, who represents the city on the memorial board.
Edge says the dedication is for a life size statue
of a female pilot in the coast of a war
and the featured speaker is a retired Air Force combat
pilot who also held key leadership roles with the Air
Force ROTC program.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Woodard serves currently as a professor at Texas and University,
where she mentors young leaders in the core of cadets.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Monday morning's program starts at nine at the Memorial, which
is located at Veterans Park just inside the Harvey Road Entrends.
The City of Brian has provided more details about the
playground that is coming to Midtown Park. The information comes
from the agenda of a special meeting of the City
Council next Tuesday, where official action will be taken on
awarding the four point two million dollar contract. This follows
(19:26):
a presentation of the park design at this week's council
meeting that received no council opposition. Mayor Bobby Gaettierra has
said flat splash pads or other water features are not
included because that would result in children leaving and wearing
wet clothes, and it.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Makes perfect sense if you're traveling with the big group
and a bunch of kids. You don't want to have
to if you're out of town, change your kids three
or four times a day.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
The playground calls for one hundred and twenty five different
play components, including fifty elevated play areas that are accessible
by ramp and seventeen that are accessed on the ground level.
The final time Brian City Manage her Keen Register shares
a city project update during a council meeting before his retirement.
He's impressed by the current construction of new single family homes.
Speaker 11 (20:08):
There are currently twenty seven subdivisions or phases of subdivisions
under construction or at a recently accepted platfile within these subdivisions,
or one thousand and fifty six lots for single family
home developments.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
In Brin A Register says the number of available residential
lots is probably the largest he's ever seen. WTAW news

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Well anyway, all right.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
Let me see the we may have a peace deal
apparently in the Middle East. That that was in the.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
News this morning.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Here's what we've got, uh is that it? Let me
see you No, here we go, here's the Gaza peace deal.
Speaker 12 (21:53):
We're really seeing two things happen at the same time.
Now above Gaza, we are seeing clouds of smoke continue
to rise, some military opera still underweight. At the same time,
we've seen some video footage of Red Cross vehicles driving
down the roadway alongside the Gaza coast, presumably to help
transport with those hostages. So no ceasefire yet, but things
here moving very quickly. The news broke across Israel about
(22:15):
three am. Since then people began to gather at Hostages
Square here in Tel Aviv. A real sense of elation,
a sense of celebration. What we're going to see next
will be a cabinet meeting. After that, the cabinet will
likely sign off on the piece deal and then we'll
come a hard cease fire. The IDEF expected to pull back.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
All right, so we'll see what happens. Yeah, fingers, absolutely,
that's it. All right. On a completely different subject, we
need to give some stuff away. We've been giving stuff
away this week.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
We like a lot of tickets, right, we do.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
We have tickets at Brass Valley, Breast Valley Fair and
Rodeo tickets again. Then that's coming up next weekend, and
then the Resistance Festival kicks off this weekend, so we're
going to have pair of tickets in both of those questions.
Is your favorite potato chip? Your favorite potato chip's okay?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, we can go I mean, and you can get
as detailed as you want. Flavor brand shape, Yeah, let
us know nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty.
Do need your first and last name if you want
to be able to win those tickets this morning?
Speaker 10 (23:14):
Yeah, because you know they've changed lot. Anyway, we'll talk
about it more next hour. But yeah, that's that's what
we're gonna do. We're gonna give give that away.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
So, according to a new report, average person has paid
around one hundred and fifty dollars in tips, in tips
they're not totally comfortable with, okay now, and it's over
last year, you know if they asked the question. So
there are some situations. I mean, so I don't think
(23:42):
a tip should be expected, but you like, I mean,
I'm saying, like the example that they have here is
an oil change or dog groomer. Oh okay, which is
interesting oil change.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
It wasn't that it was on and I remember we
talked about this on the show back when you still
get your car inspected. Yeah, and so it's like a
seven dollars cor inspection right at the quicker sticker and
the pad asked if.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I wanted to leave a tip?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, And I was like, wait what now a dog
groomer a dog? Yeah, I equate to like a hairstylist.
And you know, do you tip your your hairstylist? I
mean that's a to me, that's a service that you
know that they make you know, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
Now, do you feel pressured into tipping more than you
want to, like for counter service, restaurant or ride service?
And again they mentioned here a hair salon, Yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I always tip the person who cuts
my hair.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I always do.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
Yeah, I mean yeah, I always have to, you know,
just for a couple of bucks.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Well again, yeah, you're okay.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But let's say you're a female and you go and
next thing you know, you've been in the chair for
two hours, You've gotten a full highlight and a cut
and a blowout, and you're looking at two hundred fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, yeah, I mean tipping twenty percent on.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
Top of that, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So that's where it gets tough when you know, for
certain things like services that get really expensive, twenty percent,
all of a sudden, you're udishing out another fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, so it's like, okay, wait.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I do want to tip you, And yes, like I
understand the percentage situation, but.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's a lot.
Speaker 10 (25:23):
There's a lot of money. Then there are situations where
people end up tipping for bad service because it's just
customary and you feel bad for the people if you
don't know that.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Or you look cheap. Yeah, I can get over real quick.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
It depends on like, yeah, what the bad service is, Like,
there's so many yeah, different things, and I don't.
Speaker 10 (25:43):
Know, one hundred and fifty dollars is low I've tipped
more than that in the last year. I mean I
just have oh all together, yeah yeah, and that's what
they Yeah, that's how they started that. But it's mostly
the extra bucks here and there, as opposed to the
huge ones that that people get annoyed about. You know,
did I need to tip that person this for? You know,
when you go to a restaurant, nice restaurant, whatever, and
(26:05):
it costs you, you know, one hundred bucks or whatever,
then you're going to tip that, you know, because of
good service and good food, but just nickel and dime.
I guess overall, sixty five percent of the people say
they are fed up with tipping. And that's up from
sixty percent last year. And if you go back two years,
i mean they're fifty that's fifty three percent increase. That's
that's significant.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Well, the you know, the recommended tip them out has
gone up over that time period, and so that's that's
probably why some of those frustrations have come on board.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
That's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Well, is it like is it recommended by who?
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Right, But then you look at the pad or yeah,
you know, and it's like it starts at twenty percent. Yeah, yeah,
and it was twenty twenty five thirty and like.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
What, yeah, yeah, that's right, and then you can, of
course you could also you could hit custom.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
And you can, but then you got to you know exactly, and.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
I'm impatient and they're standing there looking at.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
And they're yeah, I know. I've gotten better about this though.
I guess I've gotten for skin where I you know,
either I don't tip if I don't feel like it's
necessary because I go up to a counter, I order
the food and I take it out of the restaurant, right,
or if I just am like, listen, you're just assembling
(27:14):
the food, you're not actually like waiting on me or
serving me. I've gotten a little bit better about being
I guess I don't know cold hearted.
Speaker 10 (27:24):
Yeah, but well look it's your money. I mean every
now it costs more.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So and that's the other thing is everything is costing
more anyway. And so yeah, if you're if you're truly
just going by the percentages, you're spending more on tip.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
Yees, that's also true. So speaking of so you're getting
your deluxe breakfast omelet it arrives, you cut it open,
you take your first bite, and you realize the cook
forgot your pepper jack cheese, Like, okay, whatever. Now you
have to make a decision. Do you eat it as
is or do you send it back? New survey shows
about one third of restaurant diners say they would never
(28:01):
send food back they are unhappy with what third that's
higher than what I Yeah, I had dinner with somebody
this week in fact, who sent it back because it
was what was wrong? It was a it wasn't cooked
the way they want to see that.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
One's that's tough. I was gonna ask.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But if you're spending a lot of money on your stake,
and especially if it's like really miscooked right, like you
want well done and your steak is bleeding, I could
see you saying, okay, no this, I can't eat this.
Speaker 10 (28:31):
Well this person, it's a little quirky. Uh So they
order the steak cooked medium plus. Oh, medium plus medium plus.
I don't know exactly what that means.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I've heard of rare plus, and if I'm at a
nice enough place, I will order it that suit. So
it's in between rare and medium. So the only thing
I can think of is medium plus. Is it's between
medium and medium.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
Well, I guess now.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You know, the the right place is they have temperatures
for every single one of these shorts, and you know
that that's how they make sure it's as accurate as possible.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
And they brought it back and uh and this person
said that the server said how's this and said fine,
I mean I don't know if it was or not. Yeah,
concerned about confrontation and worries over how the staff might
react are the key reasons that many people choose not
to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, I mean, you know, because you know, we see
it in movies, right, like you see you know, you
hear about it. But if it's something that is just
like blatantly wrong, like I ordered potatoes and I got
broccoli instead, like I'm gonna at least bring it to
their attention. But when it comes to like that, how
it's cooked, or maybe something was just a little bit off,
(29:48):
or they they left on something that you can easily
pick off like that, I'll just take care of myself.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
Take the black olives.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Out of that pay right, or like oh I asked
for no garnish, I can just like you know, worried
about the side.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Well, you know, I will send something back, but typically
I don't have a problem with my steaks being undercooked,
because I generally order them cooked just enough that a
good Aggie vet has a chance to revive it. Oh okay,
but yeah, I will send especially more expensive items if
they're done incorrectly. I'm more likely to send back my
(30:23):
wife or children's meals because I'm pretty easy going, and
typically if it's not too screwed up, I don't have
too bad a problem with it, although I will point
it out and still eat it, you know, Yeah, you
mention it.
Speaker 10 (30:34):
Yeah, I understand, that's the I don't know. I'm trying
to think of the last time I sent something back
and it has been a minute yet. But I think
more it's more often that they got it wrong and
what you were saying, Chelsea, rather than not cooking the
state properly right.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And if you're going to be that picky to order
medium plus, like when I order rare plus, as long
as it's like raresh, I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
With it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
And again it all depends on the place, like I'm
not going to go to some I don't know. Yeah,
and I don't even know what that actually should look like.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Yeah, this is what I hear.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I just know what I like.
Speaker 13 (31:07):
Yeah, good morning, I'm will Welch with your morning sports update.
On sixteen, twenty ninety four, five wta W, the number
nine Texas A and M volleyball team fell to number
three Kentucky in a four set battle last night at
Reed Arena.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Three to one. The aggies unbeaten streak came to an
end versus the Wildcats, and him got off to a
hot start behind Logan Lednecki's seven first set kills to
take the opener. Kentucky responded, taking back to back frames
and in a fourth set that went into extras, the
visitors prevailed to take the match. Here's head coach Jamie
Morrison after the game.
Speaker 14 (31:46):
Kentucky's a great volleyball team, and they're not ranked third
in the country on accident, and it was kind of
an up and down match. So there's parts of it.

proud of that piece and a little bit disappointed. And
I'll cut up right now that we couldn't push out
