"Your questions at 51283605 90. Welcome back, folks. I do apologize to need some Charles Holding there. Let me get right to, uh, Denise inelegant. How are you doing today? I'm doing great. Thank you. I have a question about my can is this is really the first year that I've thrown them, um, of a number of different ones. And they look pretty sad. With the flowers having bloomed on both. Branches of the Y. And so I'm wondering now what's going to happen? Are they going to continue blooming or is there something I need to do to clean them up? Both wise have blend. I know that they fully bloomed out. How can I tell? It is that time of the year where there peaked out. Uh and yes, the do clean them up a little bit. You're not gonna get much color off the, uh, existing ones that kept getting taller and taller and taller as you cut that little hard off of the Y, uh And so they're looking very gangly right now. And just don't look very pretty, however, as it as we get out of the heat of the summer, uh other ones will be growing taller, and they will be blooming as well. But for the ones that didn't blooming all summer, it's just it's just nature run its course. On those, and it's happening to me as well. And it does every year about this time, so don't really nothing you can do other than wait for cooler weather and white for additional ones to get taller and start living. Okay? Okay, and what you can is like for fertilizer. What is what is the best type of fertilizer and general for Canada's balanced fertilizer and low numbers? Do not use any anything with very high numbers. Uh, you know what 15 or 20 or 30 or anything like that, particularly the middle number. They really don't need that much fertilizer at all. To tell you the truth, Like like most other or, like natives, I should say, uh, but If anything, just a low 666 or something like that, or or just natural ones, such as molasses or fish Fisher motion. But I really wouldn't put any commercial for a lot of products on okay. All right. Thank you. I appreciate it. Have a good day. Thank you, Denise, from mono. And Charles out in Hutto. Uh, how can I help you today, sir? Yes, Robert. I just wanted to make a brief statement of Thank you very much. For your Knowledge, and especially this morning for your opening monologue.

I appreciate that, and You know, it was a hard segment and a lot of We all remember the ones in the towers and it's horrible. We remember The valiant policemen. The Port Authority, the firemen and all of that. But a lot of us have forgotten the cleanup crews after After the salvage, uh, of the bodies in the like, and a lot of people a lot. I mean thousands, Uh, thousands and thousands and thousands. People got sick from that. Horribly a grid. Uh, accurate. Uh, Dust there. And so I do appreciate that Charles and hope people can help them out with donations because I know they're continuing to die to this day. And we'll forever Uh, you know, for the for the rest of their lives, or they're gonna have problems with it. And they Congress is trying to do something. I think the last ministrations funded through 2090 to take care of them. Uh, and this administration, I believe is, is beefing it up or doing something else as well. To shore up those funds and not quite sure what they're doing. But they're also addressing addressing this, so I do appreciate Your comments there, Charles. Thank you. You bet. So you have a wonderful weekend. All right. Uh, let's see. Let's go to, uh, Doug and Menchaca. Uh, how could I help you? Today, Sir Robert, Like like, Charles, I want to compliment you on that opening segment. I do remember, And, uh, you know, it's uh, it's strike sold for a lot of us. But thank you for that. And I wanted to say thank you for your spirit treatments that you put out there for the kids and the caterpillars. Um, yes. I don't usually have any leftover coffee to spray on my cannons, but, uh, I will keep that in mind case I'll make it make some extra, but that was a good tip. But this morning I was walking my place and we have a fair amount of frontage about putting out American flags on my first post and I looked down and I'm seeing Bluebonnet everywhere growing. I mean, they're not just little sprigs, but this is really been a crazy August. With all the extra rain. We've gotten an unusual temperatures, but obviously fools, my blue box and the growing true it's happening this year. They can really bloom at any time. Surprisingly, so I'm not just in the spring but with certain right conditions. Right where environment it's at certain times of the year. They are and can bloom again. So, uh, yes, Uh, grass and weeds and And I'm saying, Well, I'm nipping some of these Bluebonnet, but I guess they will endure beautiful to have and also let me back up with your comment about coffee. Even if you drink all your coffee. Don't forget about the coffee grinds. They don't like they don't like crawling over that so least your coffee grinds. If you don't have any coffee left over you could. You could put those grounds around the candle leaves or any of those broad. Broad top of players that they love much and on. Okay, I do appreciate those comments. Enjoyed it. Thank you, sir. Good day. Uh, Moving on to, um Trying to Continue the show as, uh, as I do, Uh, Finishing up on stack of stuff and tips and things Uh, got to have a little bit of humor here, folks, um Chad's There. There's a video Of a cat tricking the dog into getting in the cage and then shuts the door. Yeah, so this is further proof that yes, Cats are smarter than dogs Don't need it. Cause of war. I have lots of dogs and cats. But I just find that hilarious and also one of the comment about cats. They're discovering that they have seven distinct Personalities, and I'm sure you can attest. Which one your cat has. There are ones that are very sociable. Two other cats. There are ones that are very anti social to other cats. There are ones that are very affectionate to owners, and there are ones that are very not affectionate to their owners. And then there's also ones that the studiously, uh groom themselves a lot. Like Siamese twins, and I am Struggling to remember the seventh one, and I'll just skip over that. Uh, last week mentioned about some really hard, um Trying to find deer resistant shade Flowering. Uh Shrubs. And mentioned chameleons, although they needed acidic soil, But, uh, apparently I have seen them bloom here in just regular soil without adding in the acidity to it In the shady part, they're resistant. Although the tinder shoots when the plant when the bush is young does need to be protected as they age very much more deer resistant. They don't seem to like the older buds or the more established Flowers, even if it's a new, but they don't like the taste of the older established ones. And also through my searches of other colleagues and Facebook sites and And the like, White ability, a shrub. And so this goes along with the red agreed to in the yellow, uh, got the name of another flowering shrub. But the white A. Bailey, a shrub also will flower in the shade. So keep that in mind there..

"At 51283605 90. Thanks for taking my call. Now March Melinda and end Congress is considering the idea of allowing 18 19 and 20 year olds to drive big rigs across state lines. It's being debated right now. In Congress supporters say We've got a shortage of drivers. We need to give this a go and see if we can test it out. You like that idea, Melinda, I I mean, they have a driver's license, and I'm guessing they have to go through the same protocol is everybody else that drives a big rig? It just seems a little young to be. I mean, it just seems a little young. I have concerns are not saying that they shouldn't do it. I just It just I don't know it is concerns me a bit if they can fight and die in Afghanistan. Stand around the world and they can drive the trucks and the state of Texas. They can drive into Oklahoma and New Mexico and Louisiana. I'm for this. Let's let him go. You know they're adults 18. You're considered an adult. Let him do it. The Wall Street Journal says there's a shortage of drivers for the big rigs on those long haul routes, and that's why backers are proposing this. And if Congress approves 3000 of these 18 1920 year olds would be in a test program. They could drive the big rigs across state lines. The story says. They're allowed to do it within states right now. This is driving across state lines. Well, and if they're doing it in Texas, they're pretty much doing cry. I mean, if you can go from one end to Texas. Oh, yeah. There was no problem You can go into other states can if you're doing that route from Beaumont El Paso, which is 800 Miles, Yeah, you can do that. So are you coming around to the idea are you still have convinced? You know? I mean, I think that they should have the right to do it. I still just have concerns at 18. You know, Are they going to put down the cell phone? Uh, and again, I know that they have to go through the same requirements that anyone else that's driving. A big rig has to go through. They have to meet those standards. I just I mean, I don't know There's always going to be a safety. There's been safety concern about 18 year olds driving little bitty. Electric cars around just it's one of those things when you're young. You how? You know you have your little bit more brazen. If you're trained, if you know that if you're on that cell phone and you're in an 18 3, you're going to get Hammered by the DPS whomever I think Follow the rules. I think it will be just fine. It's interesting in this report. You've got one side, saying there's really not a shortage of drivers. That was interesting. There is a very high turnover rate among drivers. That's where we need to focus. And then you've got another side. Who says Yes, there is a shortage of drivers. That's why we're coming up with this proposal. And I know out in West Texas. My old friends tell me they've got a lot of drivers who are not American citizens. They come over and they'll take short term driving deals. And if they get a ticket if they get in trouble if they had a wreck goodbye Goodnight. They just leave, so I would rather have American 18 year old kid rather than foreign drivers. In parts of our state or anywhere around the country. We have attacks from a truck driver that says we don't have a shortage of drivers. We have a shortage of pay. Wow well, and that comes through loud and clear from some people in this article. It's the pay and it's the working conditions.

"Now with your gardening and landscape questions, 51283605 90. Hey, Good morning. Gardeners. Lovely Sunday so far, getting a little humid out there, But the ring seems to have star It looks like it's um not a huge chance of rain. Good day to get out, get some things done in the garden. Entry, pulling myself all those little shoots that appear everywhere. You know, I hate hack Berries. I hate where they come up there so hard to get out all the time. You've got to give him credit boy. They are a survivor plant if we were to burn the ground flat in Texas hat, Berries and theaters. That's probably the only trees we'd have left here. And you know what? They'd be spending all their time trying to improve the soil, and, uh Get the ground back in, uh, back into condition for all the other plants that come in. So what are we doing in the middle of July and the garden? Well, hopefully taking it easy a little bit. Hopefully out there, harvesting. Looking to make sure we still got soil improvements going on. Are you Letting bare ground exist, or are you keeping it covered with mulch? So you don't have the weeds to deal with? Are you keeping it? With appropriate water pretty easy lately and it I mean, we're probably having trouble keeping it, uh, too wet. So there are steps we can be taking that don't require a lot of effort and are going to improve the soil. I'm going to look forward to a better fall garden for us. Do we know what the fog gardens going to look like? Nope. Not a clue..

"At 51283605 90. Hey, Welcome back, everybody. Let's head to the phone. This is this is Marshall. Good morning, Marshall. What can I help you Ask Morning. Yeah, I've got about three questions for you. One is, uh, I got a friend of mine who has a yard. It's got a little slope to it, and I'm trying. He's got some areas that are kind of bear. And I know that in the past year mentioned about using something like either Mondo Grass are monkey dressed. As a as a filler that you can maintain with, you know that they were still in Um okay, that grass is one that can handle a high shade environment. So are these spots that aren't filled in? Are they going to be in full sun, and now they'll be partial sun. That they work and it's generally a very low maintenance grass. You can get varieties that are short. So you don't even have the mome if you don't want to. But remember, it doesn't look like normal turf grass. So, yes, it will fill and it will spread slowly and it can help with the erosion control. Out. There are other grasses that you can use. Um And a really good source for this, especially because if it's on a slope and you want to help with the erosion There's some good grass that he can find at a place called uh, native American seed. They? They carry seeds that are guaranteed to work in Texas, because that's really the only kind of see they collect the stuff that in Texas and he can get packages and all kinds of sizes. I mean, they probably could even deliver a dump truck load if he wanted it. Yeah, but the mondo grass? Yes. Several varieties from dark color to light colored short height Wouldn't have to, um Wouldn't have to mow it if he didn't want to, and Can handle shade or there's also the sea grasses said he could find it. Native American seed that could definitely set some good roots wouldn't be invasive and fit the same conditions. So, yes. And another option. Okay, Uh, my next one will be on. I got to wax myrtles that took this phrase pretty hard. One is most of them have a lot of shoots at the very bottom. And very little growth up up higher and I've checked yesterday and all the branches were pretty ready When you've been the neighbors break. I know you and you mentioned the part about leaving all the green as long as you can, because it helps them. At the plant. Uh, my question really is, I guess, um, should I just I mean, I know just it would be worth Is it worth saving or just judge Wouldn't replace it with something? No, I know one. Or what would you think? Well, since you've got new girls coming That is a plant that's growing on its own roots. You can start cutting out that Deadwood if you want and you can even trim a little bit of that green. If you want to try to make it shaped up and start looking better for you. If you're cutting the dead stuff, cut 12 inches out and look and see if you've still got green there. No green cut another 12 inches out. The plant is going to look really shrubby for a little bit. But the fact that you've got new growth you removed as much as the ugly as you want to deal with right now and then in the fall, you give it another good trimming to shape it back the way you want, and you may not have to replace it. Like I said, the weather is really been good for some of these plants. They may put on some great growth for you between now and the fall where you could make that decision. Wouldn't replace the plant. Now. Our temperatures have been reasonable. But boy, that's a lot of shock. Uh, if we suddenly have the hot summers that we normally do So, uh, tournament for now, let it kind of tell you how it's going and when we get to September and cooler weather insight It would be a better time to decide if you want to give up on it and replace it. Or if it's grown up enough that you can just trim it and looked like it will recover naturally for you. Okay. I've got to add to what Indian Hawthorne that really took it hard also, and I cut a lot of dead stuff and all I've got now is about just a very little at the very ground level. I'd like to replace that in any way. Uh, it's a shaded area, and I'm looking for something about maybe 45 ft. Tall and white I those church camps is good, but seems like it's kind of halfway invasive at times. You got any other recommendations? Um, you know, it's a native plant. But, boy, those birds love those Berries and it winds up everywhere. I planted one I've got, like, six of them. Now, um I dig some up. I leave him. I get him appearing everywhere. I think the plants definitely worth it. But you're correct. If you plant it, you're going to get more of it. Okay. I guess I'll work over that. Okay, Jeff. Appreciate your show and have a good day. You too. Thank you, Marshal. You know, folks. We talk about invasive plants, and we consider these ones that appear and oh my gosh, We can't get rid of it like Bermuda running into a garden bed or nandina. So But there are native plants that in a proper environment, you're going to get them everywhere. Hack Berries for one right everywhere along a fence line. Mealy blue sage. I've been trying to get rid of it from one planting for years. I have Turk's cap appearing in places that I didn't plant it. I have one beautiful Turk's cap, so even a native plant can be. Let's say, aggressive as opposed to invasive. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's going to phone this is Scott. Good Morning, Scott. We're gonna help you with high. We have a question. My wife loves the failure plants. We planted three right before spring. They were doing great we've been watering with, you know, every night doing this thing all of a sudden, they're kind of dying..

"Or text messages at 51283605 90. Welcome back, everybody. Let's see here. Let's go to the phone. This is Jerry. Good morning, Carrie. What can I help you with? Hello, Jeff. I have a patch in my Saint Augustine. I'm wondering what I can do about it. Okay. Excuse me. First off. To prevent the thatch. You get on the proper mowing cycle. You don't know on Saturday every Saturday You want the grass, particularly Saint Augustine. Who hit about four inches high before you mow it. When you mullet, you want to cut it down to about 2.5 inches. In other words, When you mow your turf, you should be removing about one third of the grass. That's all. And you shouldn't know again till you're going to remove one third of the grass. If you're on that cycle. The natural processes of the soil should break that patch down for you, and it shouldn't be a huge issue. It's part of the soil structure. Number two. If you do have that things like, uh, Medina soil activator. And molasses, whether dry molasses or liquid molasses. Increases the soil biology that's going to decompose that dead grass that's all scratches. So the soil biology will start to break it down faster. And the good thing is It breaks it down and turns it into nutrients The grass actually needs So mowing correctly so you don't build up the thatch. And things like Medina soil activator of the molasses. Even seaweed solution. Can promote that biology that will eat up the thatch. Return it to good nutrient for the turf itself and keep the turf looking good. So those are the two easiest ways to control the thatch that's occurring in your saying Augustine. And how often would I apply the medina style activator? And the molasses maybe. Maybe once a month. You may do the Modenas this month. And next month do the molasses. You can use a hose and sprayer, and it works really well in the month after that, Maybe you go back to Medina alternating like that, and it doesn't have to be very frequently. Like I said once a month. You're going to improve the soil's ability to hold water during a period of time when that's the most critical thing to keep your turf looking good. You're going to improve the soil biology, meaning the grass is going to really want to grow there. And the better the root system that develops because of these actions, the prettier in denser the top turf growth is going to look and give you a gorgeous lawn. So not a lot of efforts. Minor changes to ensure that you're mowing on the right cycle. And that patch will be gone. Your Terfel look Fantastic. Uh huh. Well, I have a lawn service. So, um, it's hard to, you know, have that blonde just at the right height, but they do leave a long they never cut it really short. That is a positive, Jerry, the longer the grass. More of the grass shades the soil, which keeps it cooler. Which helps keeps the water in the turf, as opposed to it being baked out by the sun. It keeps the roots the grass from having to suffer the heat of the day. So longer, is better. When it comes to your turf grasses, whether it's Bermuda's Oh Asia, Saint Augustine Cutting on the cycle. So that, um Cutting on a cycles so that you're removing one third of the blade when you do, mo. Helps prevent this constant meowing where the grass just can't decompose fast enough. And you, you wind up with that. Um It's awkward, though. I know if you have a service there like no, we do. You're mowing on Friday whether it needs it or not. And I fully fully fully understand Those of you who you're doing your own lawn maintenance and sorry I'm o on Saturday because it's the only day of the week. I got to get that I really do. Try to work that in nothing says You've got to move mo every inch of your property. If some of it's not that longer grass, and some of it is I'm trying to save your work there, guys. Uh, You don't have to mow every Saturday because it's Saturday morning when the turf needs to be caught. For example, in my backyard, I mode um Today and Saturday, we most last Saturday Because the grass was long enough. And we cut it to the length but outside on the rest of my property, which isn't fertilized and irrigation, etcetera, I haven't mowed that in, like almost three weeks. I'm going to mow it tomorrow because rain is coming, and I want to make sure that I get everything even because I may not be able to mow. Back there with even with my writing more for more than a week, and I don't want it to get too carried away. But try not to get stuck on. It's Saturday and more. I get it. If it's the day you've got time for the day, you got time for Sharp blade. Let it be long. Cut it down to, uh, remove one third of the blade mulching mowers to do a better job at chopping it into smaller pieces, so there is going to break down faster on your tour. And the application of something to get that soil biology to break that down for you molasses. Compost tea. Um, the medina soil activator. All those things will take that dead grass and help it. Get get it broken down faster, so you don't have Match. And it improves the soil, so your turf is going to look even better. And like Jerry asked..

"51283605 90 Now here are Todd and don 5 36 Times, Jeffries and don Prior. Yeah, You can expect to see some signs coming down on doors, you know about requiring mask and things like that, now that the CDC is changed its recommendations. Kelly Hinkle owns the Longhorn Cafe and Ron Rocket spoke with CBS Austin News this morning. And things could look a different little bit different, but not everything. I don't know if they've been vaccinated. You can't wear a mask and eat so, so we're gonna continue to wear our masks as a staff. There you go. Now, that may be happening in a lot of businesses around town, and maybe you're a business owner. Maybe you're part of the wait staff or whatever business you're part of What your new policies Now that the CDC is clear the way for you to take your mask off in most situations if you're fully vaccinated, and we get more on the story from newsman Griff Jenkins, But you know, guys, really, the messaging on this thing depends on your point. Stayed here to referring to, or even what business This is but make no mistake. This is a major milestone in its return to normalcy from the pandemic for the 35 million Americans who are fully vaccinated now. Visually, it was such a stark contrast. When we saw yesterday, President Biden wearing no mask walking up with vice president Here's to the microphone in making this announcement. Rule is very simple. Yet vaccinated or wear a mask until you do this after the CDC issues as new guidelines for those who have gotten the shot, saying you no longer have to wear mass outdoors or indoors and most settings in lifting social distancing in most gatherings, while still advising people wear masks and crowded indoor settings, like public transportation, or If you're feeling coming 19 symptoms and don't throw away the mask. The CDC is director also had a warning. This virus can be unpredictable. So if things get worse, there was always a chance. We may need to make change to these recommendations on Capitol Hill Speaker Pelosi says, Don't ditch the mask instructing House members that they must still where their mask when they are in Chamber except for when they are speaking, representative Nancy Mace had this reaction. This is the time to leader country through this crisis, and instead she's doubling down on this, and we didn't be encouraging vaccinations and show what that post backs life looks like now. Several states like New York and California have received these new guidelines, but they say they're reviewing them before unmasking anyone.

"51283605 90. Now you're are Todd and seven Oh, five Todd Jeffries and don Prior high 51283605 90. So this this homeless crisis It's been a pretty good distraction from other city news, hasn't it? We've been focused on cleaning up our streets trying to make the community a little bit safer. The voters overwhelmingly said that they want this. These camping ordinance is to be enforced. And now they're dealing with this issue of the city, considering 10 different campsites, maybe even using city parks as campsites. That is an issue that they're actively kicking around and discussing on Austin City Hall. So which part do you want to use as a homeless encampment? Which park do you officially want to give up? Forever to be used as a homeless in camp. Oh, I see what they do, I they would put it right in Zilker Park man right in everybody's face the crown jewel of Parks of Austin, Texas, that that we've all that we all love and if have grown up with, like, May if you've lived here is long as I have, and they would put it right there to make the biggest statement they could, and then he shouldn't even be a discussion. We should be started. Put him in those hotels the people bought and start finding other places, you know, to get him into programs and Shelters. Whatever you gotta do, considering a parks, it immediately makes it less safe in the neighborhood immediately. You couldn't walk to your neighborhood park. It should not be an option. It should not. I cannot believe it's being considered. Well. Listen, this homeless crisis now with humanitarian crisis here in Austin, it's been an incredible distraction of other city news. You've already forgotten about our electric power grid and the water supply And that frees of February that thing you've already forgot about that. Well. The Austin City Council did host a special called Zoom class a zoo meeting because they're still scared to get together. Come on, stop that Austin City Council hosted a special called meeting to discuss the city's response to the devastating February winter storm. As we hear from CBS Austin K. I. This is a disaster that really tested our ability to stay focused and communicate. That's one Ortiz, director of Austen's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. He met with council members Tuesday to talk about February's devastating winter storm in the cities. Bunz. There were some some barriers to access of Information Council members say they were left in the darkest to what to do. They requested emergency training and a better understanding of their role during these events. The words would be sad, pretty repeatedly. Am I the one that's supposed to be doing this for community volunteers helping council members say there was miscommunication over who needed help and how to get resource is two people. According to deaths reported by the Travis County Medical Examiner. During the Winter storm, we counted two deaths caused directly by hypothermia and another 17 that could be tied to the storm caused by things like crashes, fires and falls through everything we could add it. To be able to ensure that we were doing the best we could to respond to the incident. But council members say it wasn't enough. They've created a task force. It's gathering community feedback and are working on an after action report detailing what went right. What went wrong and what to do. In case it happens again. That was frankly, an emergency on top of emergency on top of a pandemic. I'd like to hear more about what they're planning for the hot summer months and rolling blackouts. Absolutely at the next ice storm, But what are you doing now? The short this grid in our city? Yeah, exactly. That's it. That's a source of stress it no doubt about it. Listen, there's nothing like a good old task force and an action memo. You know, there's nothing better than that. Right here. Task Force I go. Oh, yeah, They're on it. Now get everybody together and talk about it. Task force is just another thing of its another way. They kicked the can down the road and, yeah, you know what Ton and also back to the fact that they're still our City Council for the past year has not been in the same room together. There's no excuse for that. Now stop with the zoom meetings. Get in the same damn room and get together because all of you surely have been vaccinated, right? Right? Of course you have right? I mean, you're here to set an example. You're telling me that the Austin City Council should start acting like they're vaccinated. Start acting like you're vaccinated and get in the same damn room Because this is so limiting as far as doing these zoom meetings. There's no opportunity for you know any conversation alcohol that might spark up that? Who knows? Might Ah, good idea Might suppose a spark, you know, come out of that, although good ideas or Apparently not possible from City Council, but you'd never know, but but it's silly. It's just silly. The zoom meetings there that continuing with our city Council. Listen. Texas apparently is not doing a very good job when it comes to today's alarmingly high youth, tobacco rate Children and teenagers in Texas air using e cigarettes. And more than twice the rate of traditional cigarettes. That's according to a 2021 Elektronik Nicotine delivery system report in 2019. Only 2.4% of high schoolers regularly used a reported using disposable e cigarette products compared to the 26.5% in 2020 this, according to the CDC, a tenfold increase in just a year. Our kids. They kicked cigarettes, but they immediately got on the E cigarette. It started Vaping, and they became addicted to nicotine in a much more effective way. Now, despite this, Texas does not let me any excise tax on e cigarettes. Unlike the way they do, you know cigarettes, real cigarettes, which attacks at approximately 30% of retail prices. Now it's crucial that lawmakers according to the states, but in an opinion piece this morning act to close that loophole to ensure that tax taxes apply equally to all tobacco products, according to the editorial. They're into states when they say this approach will prompt minors to quit and keep them from ever starting rather than encouraging them to switch to another deadly product because of its lower prices. I don't think higher prices make people quit nicotine. I really don't. I was addicted to nicotine for God about 18 years and let me tell you, you pay what you're gonna pay. If you're addicted to it. You know what? I can't ask. I discovered this over the weekend because I was talking to somebody who just bought a can of Copenhagen's, You know, snuff. Six bucks..

"Text messages at 51283605 90. Welcome back, folks last little bit of the show here, let me try to cover some of the text messages that we've gotten. Can you poured corps, including around plants in a garden? Yes. The plants are already growing. I know some friends who use corn gluten, they would plant their onions. Because of the way onions they're grown so close together. They're really a monster to wed. They're hard to do with the hoe. You You basically have to hand we'd um They would plant the onions. Then put down the corn gluten. Cora gluten doesn't affect and already growing plant. So the onions weren't bothered by it. But it prevented weeds from germinating and it reduced the amount of work they needed to do to keep. The The onion bed from being overrun by weeds so you can use corn gluten in your garden. But you cannot use corn gluten somewhere where you were planting by seed. Because it will stop the seeds from germinating. So if your garden is already full of already growing plants, corn gluten is safe to use in that area won't affect plants that are already growing. Just remember you're using corn gluten who can't be planting seeds with it? You have to give the corn gluten that six weeks or so before you start putting seeds in the soil or the quarreled, Wignall, stop your seeds from growing. So safety used in your garden under those conditions. Now, corn gluten comes in a couple of different forms. It's crowned is a meal, which is kind of fluffy. It looks like sometimes it's chipped. Where they just take the dried corn in this fractured and it almost looks like scratch for those of you raise chickens. It can be Pel. It'd Any time you have the dry product. And result is the same. I don't know of any study that shows one form is more efficient or effective than the other. And the dry product is the on. Lee won that when it's done doing its job. Breaks down into a fertilizer. Now, what's that mean? The dry product when it's quit doing and stop the weeds? Was about 9% nitrogen. Now, why would I talk about the drive products off? Because you can get corn gluten in a liquid form. You can get it in a spray bottle attached to the store hose and sprayers really easy to use. Liquid form stops. Weeds does the same thing The dry does. The liquid form does not break down into a fertilizer. So it's only the weed part that dry for Mia's weed and feed in an organic sense. Because it will stop the weeds from germinating and Linden doing its job It breaks down into a fertilizer doesn't matter what form the dry product is. It stops with and it's a fertilizer. The liquid form may be very convenient for you on the whole is ends prayer. I get that there's lots of times. Works really well, when you're doing your onion bad, for example. But the liquid form provides no fertilization. So that's really the only difference between the 21 may be more convenient, but one provides that extra boost of fertilization. Which really does a good job in our turf. Stopping those ugly weeds that show up when we haven't already growing turfgrass And then fertilizing it at the right time in the spring to really put on that new growth. That's super effective it giving you a real nice, consistent and stir so time it out properly. But there's the dries the on Lee won that also provides Fertilizer effect. What else we got here? Corn gluten around the garden amaryllis bulbs. They naturalized here. If you have planted the hardy Amarillas You can leave them in the ground. Will bloom ones. Cut them back when the least start turning brown, you know, introduce high, Stubbs. Mark where that bed is. They should come back. Every year. You can leave them in the ground here in Texas. If you dug them up and you want to store them because you're doing the inside bulbs, and you don't want a pot with justice will stub in it. Usually.

Oh, God won't turn it off. That's pretty good, though. Not very good. That's just add that is the director's commentary. There you go. I like topic on Pardon the interruption. Yesterday, I thought was pretty interesting, and I'll pose you guys. The same question should the NFL Should NFL teams be prohibited from hiring head coaches until after the Super Bowl? This is, I guess, a proposal from an NFL writer that and I don't even know if you have to weave the diversity angle into it. Obviously, that is still a problem for their for the NFL, But we were all surprised that Eric, the enemy did not get a head coaching job. This you know this hiring cycle. He's the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs. I'd say you could also point toe. Todd Bowles, who defensive coordinated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and absolutely Iran left, which same absolutely decimated that unbelievable Chiefs offense and, yeah, Byron off, which is the offensive coordinator for the Buccaneers, And so, Yeah, the I guess the idea is, just Would it make more sense? Tonto, wait until after the Super Bowl, not toe Don to punish these coaches who are coordinating the best teams. On, not let anybody make any hires until after the big game. Why don't they do that in all sports, and I don't think they had to do that. No, no, not at all. Because Eric, the enemy, bless his P pick and heart had a had a bunch of interview at interviews. I don't think it's a disadvantage at all. There's something going on with Eric, the enemy that we don't know about, fellas. And he is he is not getting hired. But no, I don't. I would not be for that because I think some teams want to make moves quickly after the season, and they should be able to do that. They shouldn't have to wait till after the Super Bowl, where there's a frenzy. I hear that and I respect that opinion. But even with like the coach Sark That here? Did you take away? He'd think I was getting ready for a national championship now, obviously didn't take away from his game planning or anything, and he looked like he handled it seamlessly, but To me. It just would make sense, like all right season is done. Now. This window opens for people to negotiate and really good at it. Because you isn't it unfair if you are on one of those teams that are still competing towards the championship, and you can't give it your all. Or maybe those interviews that you're lucky to get are taking away from what you're actually trying to accomplish. Mm. I think you probably are less likely to be hired. If you're on a team that's still playing in your only available. You know, if you you know, your head coach says, Okay, you can take this one day and do interviews versus a guy whose team has already eliminated and can fly around in normal times. Fly around and Inter dude do the full rounds. I think you're at a disadvantage there. I think it also probably to a certain extent, disadvantages the team whose coaches being interviewed while he's still preparing game plans. The distractions that deal right direction. And but the reason I think that it probably won't happen is sort of what you said. There's lots of once the team is eliminated. They want to hit the ground running, assuring for the next and so, yeah, if you're a team that hasn't played since week, 17 at this point, you know you don't want to sit around for a month. No, you know if you probably have already fired your coach You know, with nothing to do no direction for your for your program because you're waiting to hire the guy that you want to hire, and all those people that didn't get hired are now all those extra weeks of their their their staff is together their game planning already, right right the next year, And additionally the thing that really makes it complicated is that now coaches kind of particularly assistants are going back and forth from the NFL in the college game. Somewhat freely. And so if you're going to tell the because they'll be college is who are like, Well that we want this guy, but he's waiting to see if he gets an NFL job. And he has to wait until February. February, the 10th to find out if you can get that job. I mean, imagine, I know be, though. You said you're glad we missed it. But if Urban Meyer let's say he was he was interested in the Texas job, but only if there wasn't an NFL job for him, and he would have had to wait. Until February to find that out on then So does Texas or whoever sit around waiting for him to find out. It's just I feel like it's too. I enjoy the sentiment. The idea. I like what they're going for there, but I think it's just complicates things to a degree that could never do it be to let me jump, and I think you made a comment about About the coaches during the season. The pro coaches I found in the coaches. I've been around and talked to they. It's a sense of pride to those head coach's when their assistants get interviewed. It's a reflection on how they are doing. So there's I don't think there's much animosity or much angst from head coaches say on Andy Reid that when Eric the enemy went to Houston during the playoffs or somebody else, I think they see that it's a sign of..

He's painted himself politically in a rock and a hard place. Political is the word that now I got a text message here. It's kind of a long text message, but I think it's worthy to read. It was just sent to us during the commercial break at 512836059 right, it says, I'm a nurse and a paramedic. And I've seen the worst of the worst. As far as covert patients go. I've witnessed also people coming and positive for the Corona virus and getting hospitalized for symptoms with the closest correlating factor being a second injection of the vaccine. Now, it would be nice to be able to see a few things about this vaccine. According to this text. What people want to see is that if we get the vaccine one and then we get the vaccine to and then we get exposed to this virus. Will I get the virus again? Can you still get it? Even after getting both vaccinations? The answer to that is yes. They also want us to believe that it means that there's light at the end of the tunnel, but so far I haven't seen any major health organizations say that getting the vaccine means that mask are going away or social distancing is going away or that the Corona virus is going away. This is from a text or a nurse and a paramedic. On another point, I had had the Corona virus from taking care of ICU patients in May and I will agree it was pretty rough.

We want to begin with a question and we'll just throw that out there and you could you could call in our text any time at 51283605 90. Name one accomplishment of President Joe Biden so far in his new administration, he's the 46 president. What is he accomplished So far? I'm not seeing anything out there in the twitterverse or anywhere on social media, where progressive lefties are bragging about the accomplishments of their presidents. Really? What has he done so far? Is he Is he done anything? To make you excited. Does he done anything to make you happy? Because the only thing I've seen Rose really, so far that he's eliminated her cut his jobs in the oil and gas industry. And if you're into that, well, then you're a very happy person. So if you'd like to see employed people go away. Yes. So what? You just told the question out there. What accomplishments has he made so far? 1st 10 days or so it is 904. You could jump in at 51283605 90 capacity restrictions loosen for businesses. Following this downward trend and hospitalizations. That's good. That's good, right? That's good news, even even though they still have to socially distance inside these restaurants, which means they had to eliminate tables, so the 75% is not really 75%. That they had pre pandemic for smaller restaurants and businesses. That's not going to meet me just to help a lot now. Also on the table. The Austin City Council considers the purchase of as the local news outlets call it a second hotel, which is not true, because we bought a couple of more early last year. Second one this year. I guess they're at the You know the Candlewood Suites in northwest Austin in District six, and I think it could be delayed tomorrow. Williamson County commissioners have an agenda item where basically they're going to pot. Simply put it on hold calling for a 180 Day delay, if you will, because it is a city of Boston proper, but it's in Williamson County and the city of Boston never reached out to Williamson County on this issue. That's a big deal that zone unthinkable deal actually for them to go into it that sloppily and not realize what Or maybe they did completely realize what they were dealing with. There is far as you know, Look at the map. Look, figure out what the reality is, in the fact that they did not really even go to the residents around. This was just dumped on them. And of course, the residents down business owners as well are standing up and they did over the weekend. Well, what's pretty interesting about this whole deal about buying these two hotels? This has been in the making. We learned from some of these now that some of the documents have been released that it's been the making for about a year and a half, keeping it secret for about a year and a half now. There you go. That's that's on the table. Also getting word that the Leander I s D is experiencing some Internet issues. So it Z. It's affecting virtual classes right now in the league and Uriah stay, okay.

Now come back when you get a chance, Go to the tide of Don show Facebook page. We posted the story there earlier this morning. The group's save Austin Now they are on a mission. Say Boston. Now it's a nonpartisan educational nonprofit made up of organizations concerned citizens and a demanding a thorough and independent audit of the city spending on homeless programs, especially housing facilities that they purchased since July. The first of 2019 when the camping ordinance is, you know, took effect. This should include, and you know Information commission related to, uh, property purchases and sales. Yeah, The group say Boston now is calling for a full audit of homeless expenditures now the citywide on it because the voters already said they didn't want that, But But they do want a full audit of how much money we've spent on homeless issues where it's gone. And what are the results of that money? Oh, yeah, absolutely totally 100% justified. I You know how much of this ghost I assume the arches part part of where this money goes, but food tents. What? What? What? What? What am I paying for counseling on rehab? I don't know. I I really want to break down because remember the city told us they were doing all these homeless initiatives and changing the ordinances of buying the shelters because They wanted to prevent people from using up. All of the resource is at a P D fire and a local hospitals. That's that's what they told us right right well and to really see Any true payoff from all of this money Somehow, some way it has to address the root cause of homelessness. That has to be part of this deal, right? Otherwise we're just going to keep spending more and more and more, and we just kind of maintain it, Foster it and ultimately also bring more people here to the city of Boston who are homeless because they hear of all the money that we spend. We keep missing, But it's got to be more than just keeping these folks comfortable. Yes, for sure. No, I get it. I understand that. Yeah, and I know that That throwing money at the root cause of homelessness. Is, you know, we're never going to get rid of drug addiction. We're not. We're going to get rid of of, you know, whatever situation in the household led to this or whatever The cause is divorce. In some cases, losing a job, you know the causes air or are just so many But somehow some way some of this money has to somehow go in that direction. You want to see some progress? That's a legitimate Yeah. Could've, I guess, summed it up with that. What's the return on your investment? One of the results. Are we winning in this war against homeless? Not an unrealistically request. I just, You know, once they do get the hotel's up and running in there full of people that are homeless. Yeah. One of these people going to do day today? That's a very good question. Because you know, idle hands idle time. You know, you get yourself in trouble when you got nothing to do out there. That's right. You know, they got to have.

Now check this out. The Austin City Council's Alison Alter She's asking police she Brian, mainly to investigate to find out if any. Austin police officers took part in the riot at the state capital of the nation's capital that is in Washington, D. C. Then she spoke with Fox seven news. We're at a critical point. In our history and people who want to lead in our community. Um, we need to speak out. And we need to be very clear to affirm our democratic values on day to be clear about our expectations. And sometimes that means holding people to high standards. And we need to have clarity s so that the community Can be confident in our law enforcement now. The Austin Police Association says the request was unnecessary and insulting. Right? Yeah, the police Association president, Ken Cassidy says. You just don't go willy nilly investigating people. There is no word on what the response will be from police chief Brian Manly. What kind of response He's gonna give Alison Alter. What is Alison alters motive here. I mean, this is just kind of random. She's just kind of trying to. She's trying to find a problem. She's trying to find the problem is not there. It's another example of how the City Council does not want to work with our police. It's another example of how our city council Dislikes our police force. It's ridiculous. It's unnecessary. They weren't there. And if they were there just simply protesting exercising their right to do so great. If they went inside the Capitol. That's another issue altogether. Does she have any evidence that happened? Did she have any evidence? Where is this coming from? Well, she not have anything better to do. There have been police officers all across the country that have you know that they were there. They did go inside, right? She have any evidence that any of ours were there? 51283605 99 find something productive to do Alison find something to do that makes our city a better place to live in. How about that? Instead of spending your time, your preoccupation. We're trying to find something wrong with the police. That's not there. How about that? How about that sister? We'd appreciate it is taxpayers. We would appreciate that ever so much. All right, Jump in at 51283605 90 ridiculous. So there were several people from across the state of Texas that were on hand for protest in our state Capitol over the weekend. Uh, you know, and in fact, several people they're armed in some cases, as we hear from K eyes. Jordan Banky, Despite some protesters being dressed like they're prepared for combat Sundays, demonstrations at the Capitol were brief and peaceful. Just feet away from armed Second Amendment advocates and groups that identify his libertarians. Anno overwhelming amount of law enforcement were on the Capitol grounds, which was closed to the public. I think that if.

"Uh way. Welcome back. Sports Talk. Jason Abdo. A 3605 90 is the phone number 51283605 90. Yeah, just in terms of getting the getting the start train rolling and rolling real quickly here. I saw today and it look, we knew this. He is inheriting. Tom Herman had a number three. Number three number eight recruiting class so considerably. Wouldn't you say mortality than Tom Herman and inherited from Charlie Strong and even more talented, strong and herded inherited from Mack Brown, right? Especially from the offensive side, I think yeah. So sorry. Player wise. I don't know about the lines. But yes. Oh, by the way, had climates in the I assigned you some homework. Did you do your homework it into your homework? Ah, the homework. Remember list of a list of Longhorn players. You're going to stay guys who are opting into the an additional year because the NC double a is not not tolling your eligibility. I have it for you. Of course. Jason's like a good friend of you and elementary. What did your homework when he knew you wouldn't I mean, the most notable 1 may be the only notable one. Kate Brewer. Tight end is coming back for 1/5 year toe. Keep Jarrod Wiley on the sideline more. S o. He is taking advantage of not of an extra year here. Brennan schooler who I believe was a graduate transfer is going to come back for another year. He was he had some moments. Yeah, the wide receiver right over here. Guy. Um, you have an offensive lineman. Forgive me, Tok E. Mo Day. I'm going to guess that will be. That's good. When you have those offensive lineman, the older the better, you know, he's coming back for a 60 year. All right. A zit is offensive lineman Denzel Oh, kefir. Who will be back for 1/6 year as a Longhorn and defensive lineman Marquez been managed, who opted out of this season because of coronavirus concerns. Those are to the best of my knowledge, the five Longhorns who are taking advantage of that there's more on the defensive side. I think that they trust you. Biggest impact on the coppers. Is that polar guy beat? Oh, that we saw play. I was state. I believe he was the number 88 guy. One of the biggest. Yes. Yeah, that guy, the one that just was Tom Herman and that does that whole staff 88 blind that day. That was crazy. Yeah. That was insane s. Oh, yeah. Coach Steve has taken over a talented roster, You know, then let's let's take a moment and just say that, you know, Tom Herman. We don't like the final record. But, you know, they brought some good players to Texas here or no in bowls. No cupboard is not bear. Not gonna be mad at you, Tom Herman s Oh, yeah, Why not be able to hit the ground running? I guess you could say was made maybe the in the first line of his legacy. A Texas is Tom Herman's handling of the eyes of Texas singing of the school song. That was obviously a big controversy this year. And, of course, Sarkeesian address that yesterday. Well, I know this much the eyes of Texas is our school song. We support that song. We're gonna sing that song. We're gonna sing it Probably. I think when I come into the fold, I think Any talks that need to have whether it's about the eyes of Texas or any other issues that come up. I think it's having the discussions. We can't put her head in the sand and act like things aren't happening. We have to really have those discussions with them and educate our players to make sure that we're all on the same page and understanding that I think sometimes there are tough discussions that need to have that need to happen without speaking to candidly. We're living in a country right now where there's some turmoil going on. But as long as we can have those discussions and be on the same page, we can do that as it pertains to the eyes of Texas, and that's our song, and we're Fired up to sing it, and I know you want to jump in there. But can I just real quick course you can be. I love this for this reason And this reason only I love you so much, You know, because now he can hit the recruiting row road and I know Ed's gonna love this, and that's just part of the deal. Like there's no coming. You're gonna understand that. Yeah, they're going to talk about it. And I did. And I appreciate it the way that you can have conversations about it. But guess what. Bottom line. You sign a letter of intent you want to play? You're going to be a part of that history of singing eyes of Texas. Now, you know when this was an issue in the middle of the season, you and I I think we're sort of on this and I don't want to put you don't want to put you in any position. I sort of said I'm I thought I was going to. I'm agnostic on the eyes of Texas. But if Kat guys said that they don't want to sing the song that I say you should not be forced to sing the song that you were more on the side of this is not. It's not a racist song, and it's a school side. I should go out there and sing it. Sing the song I Know. You know, We're all excited right now of about Steve Sarkisian because he's undefeated, but he's you know, he's out here saying, Guys, they're going to sing this song, all right, and then, like, Look right or wrong. I am just saying that's a great move for him, which obviously, if that was If he was that well, thought out of response probably was a conversation with all those people that he listed when he started that process. Kinda wanna know when he says in there. He's like we don't have to talk about it to candidly. I'm like, no, let's talk candidly. About what what I mean here. I gotta believe me, You know you're on to something. I think he was told quickly. We're going to sing the eyes of Texas. That was an issue last year with Tom heard Herman and the message didn't get through by crystal contact to Tom Herman or the regions, and they just said point blank. That's our school song, and we're going to sing it. And quite frankly, don't know what they're talking about. When they say we're gonna have discussions. What does that mean? Well, what Someone does think that and I think you don't want to talk about why there was a He's trying to recognize that. Yes, we har living in a in a world with it with turmoil and there Our social social justice conversations that need to be had, But he you know, he punctuated by saying, Hey, we're going to sing the song. That's our song. We're gonna sing it. Is there going to be I mean, could that be an issue? Is there gonna be an issue with players? I think that it is again. The players are probably in the same mode that you are in that we are Vito and that everybody, There's optimum optimism right now. Hope springs eternal right now, you know, Tom Herman message had been getting stale. He turned off part of the locker room, and it was just easy..

Amy Coney Barret Tilts The Balance in Divisive Ruling
"A lot for being with us on this day after Thanksgiving. It was right before Thanksgiving late Wednesday. When the U. S Supreme Court The majority said, even in a pandemic You can't put away the Constitution. Now. In New York governor Cuomo says that he issued these restrictions on places of worship. Based on science. And safety. And so this is a fascinating ruling. In many regards number one. It's a big plus for religious freedom. Number two. It was just this past summer. That the Supreme Court ruled basically the opposite. In a case and there's some other cases that are being considered. I believe some cases California, New Jersey, Louisiana, So this is all about the Supreme Court blocking New York's governor from enforcing 10 and 25 person occupancy limits On religious institutions. Courts, the restrictions would violate religious freedom. And are not neutral because they single out houses of worship or especially harsh treatment. Or said there's no evidence that the organizations that brought the lawsuit have contributed to the spread of cove in 19. And this was one of those 54 decisions. With Chief Justice John Roberts. Going along with Justices Stephen Bryer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. And in their descent. Chief justice. Roberts said he saw no need to take this action because New York had revised the designations of the affected areas. Governor Cuomo essentially Said the same thing. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court did rule on it and also in the sending opinion. Justice Sonia Sotomayor said this unlike religious services, Bike repair shops and liquor stores generally don't feature customers gathering inside to sing and speak together for an hour or more. She went on to say justices of this court play a deadly game in second guessing the expert judgment of health officials. About the environments in which a contagious virus now infecting a million Americans each week. Spreads most easily. Those are the words and the dissenting opinion from Justice. Sonia Sotomayor, your Down the majority, and this may be the new power five and this is one of the key developments out of this ruling. A new power five on the Supreme Court. Barrett Gorsuch. Thomas Alito. And Cavanaugh. Three of whom, of course, were Appointed By President Donald Trump in the Majority opinion. Justice, Gorsuch said this, he noted that Governor Cuomo had designated among others, the hardware stores acupuncturists. Liquor stores and bicycle repair shops as essential businesses. That were not subject to the most strict limits. Like these places of worship work. Gorsuch said. We may not shelter in place when the Constitution is under attack. Things never go well. When we do So it Zbig deal for the Supreme Court. It's a big deal for I mean, let's face it all those evangelicals that voted for President Trump. They've got to be doing a victory lap today, right? Maybe you are a swell 51283605 90. If you'd like to be a part of the program here, you give us a call or send us a text on K. O. B. J. It is because Amy Barrett just got on the court. Right, So it's really The first significant indication Of a rightward tilt to the court. And I mentioned this and may and July Supreme Court rejected challenges. Virus related restrictions on churches in California and Nevada. At that time, the Chief Justice John Roberts, Joined the courts Democratic appointees, which of course, then included Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And those rulings they stress that state and local governments required flexibility to deal with a dangerous and evolving pandemic. So The New York Times, Right said. This is just One example of how profoundly President Trump Has transformed the Supreme Court. This New York Times P, says Justice Bharat Help the chief justice of body blow. Casting the decisive vote in a 5 to 4 ruling. On religious services in New York. And New York Times says this is most certainly a taste. Of things to come. About this 51283605 90 here on Caleb E. J. It is an interesting question, right? In the summer time. Even the Supreme Court said, Look You may not like it when these local officials are trying to close the church. But You're dealing with health and safety issue. And there are rights. Given to local officials in the event. Of health and safety issues. Well, not in this case, the governor there in New York, Andrew Cuomo. He criticized the Supreme Court. Or overturning their restrictions. He said It was Morrell Astrit Ivo of the Supreme Court than anything else. He called the ruling irrelevant. Said it would have any practical impact because restrictions Are not in place and had been dialed back well. You know, it's interesting that even in the Opinion. That was written by Sonia Sotomayor, right? When she was talking about The court plays a deadly game and second guessing the expert judgment of health official. Let's stop right there.
