  Speaker 1: of my backglass and I went to the radar. I
• 3:41

• 4:13
  Speaker 4: keep an eye on it. You could be surprised. Sometimes
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I think the people that type this forecast up just
• 4:19

  Speaker 4: blanket sunny with the high near ninety eight heat indeck

• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Will's taking a Friday off because he's he's moving his
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: daughter back.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Got to take the old kiddo back to Oxford, Mississippi.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: How boogie is Oxford?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's a different place. When the kid first said because
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: she was going to go to the University of Arkansas.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: She was going to try to cheer there. She had
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: been to all the cheer camps and all that stuff,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and she was it was said and done, and apparently
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: so u as the day that they tell you that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you've been accepted is typically later than a lot of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: other places. So she got a little, you know, trepidation,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: little jumpie. She kind of decided that she was done
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: with cheer and she came to me and she said,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I want to go look at at old miss And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I said, I've been to Mississippi. There's absolutely nothing redeeming
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: about the state. But okay, we'll go to college visits,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: time with the daughter or whatever. I'd been to Mississippi
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a number of times. I'd never been to Oxford. It
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is a different place than the rest.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Like I'll say, the only the only good place to
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: visit Mississippi is Oxford.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: There are there are, I mean we say that jokingly.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: There are a handful of places in Mississippi.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: But like if you're my, my, my, I guess vibe
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I've always caught off them is like hyper hyper Southern snobbery.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It is. It is a lot of hyper Southern there
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: are some snobs there. There is more money there than
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you can possibly so rich. I mean, the university itself
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is under thirty thousand students growing their exponential.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: You can't buy a house there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: The town is about the same size as the university.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: It is and it's like an episota where every house
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: is a mill five.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy like that, beautiful old homes, lots of hills,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: lots of moss. It is. It is the Old South.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: People have multiple names, you know, Mary o, Mary just
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: gonna lie.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I almost went to Ole Miss for my master's degree.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: It was between A and M and Almoss.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Because of that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Loved it there, because it put off the vibe.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well it's the reason why I didn't go. There's
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: two reasons. One the pole vault coach here, I really
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: liked it. In The track program is excellent here at
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: A and M. Obviously they're known for it. And second
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: we have unexpected weather, but they really.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You can't even see it coming. That's true. Between the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: trees and the hills. I do get a little trempidation.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Said, the tornado just drops on you.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't even and then all those trees become missiles.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It's a bad place to be. That ice storm was crazy.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Oh where that is a great town. It's it's it's

  Speaker 4: So that's a hard move.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It's a very hard move. This one's going to be.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: You're still telling me you have a ton of stuff
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: to do before.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just I've got guests coming in this weekend,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: so i got to make the house ready to go.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I've got a few more things to do in the yard.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I've got to do some laundry or else go anywhere. Yeah,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to have any underwear to wear in Oxyfeld.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: You'll pass a Walgreens man.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: By the way, a survey of two thousand US adults
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: who have moved in the last five years say a
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: quarter of them say that moving is more stressful than
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: landing an airplane in an emergency.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Well, having never landed in an airplane, how they would know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I have no clue.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It is stressful. You know, we moved three times in
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: four years trying to get into the situation that we're
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in now, and that that was incredibly stressful. Now, the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: benefit was between those three moves, I managed to get
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: rid of a good ten to fifteen percent of the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: junk we need to get rid of.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: That's the thing that's a secret to move away. Twenty
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: seven percent of people said moving is more overwhelming and
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: stressful than finding a job.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: It can be, really, it can be because trying to
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: find the place to live and then trying to time
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: it up perfectly that the new job you're going.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So one of the times I moved into three out
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of four years, I was finding and starting a new
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: job in middle of the move.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: That's great. Twenty one percent of people say it's more
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: stressful than running for president.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think the back check is as stringent maybe,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: but which.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: It's easier.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Say, the background check may not be as bad for
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: president as it is for moving.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: That's what I was thinking. I don't think they throw
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: up a lot of.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Balls for that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: These days. It's like, can you do it? Is that
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: you feel like it?
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a credit check somehow, I
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: doubt it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Infomation, Yeah, it's it's a mess, but yeah, we're gonna
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: get it done. This one, like I said, is not
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be very bad. It's gonna be a it's gonna
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: be a nice time to travel. My wife breaks down
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: about it a little bit because she still get weepy.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: She gets weepy. But for me, I'm like, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: maybe we are sending our kid off to be grown up.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And that was the whole point of the situation.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: All right back after this sixteen twenty ninety four five
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: wt W, remember you can call or Texas at nine
• 11:49

  Speaker 1: I'm the freezing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Sorry Riley, that that's the first thing that popped out
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: of my mind.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: It completely took me off topic.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Continue, you're good because the next one is National Oyster Days.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: I was thinking that he's gonna finally make his oyster
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: ice cream suit.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not gonna make the oiste.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: It is unfortunate that National Oyster Day falls in one
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: of those months where it is not a good idea
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: to eat ois.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean if you go to the right place.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So you go to our oyster bar here in town.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm not concerned about it any day of it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, all right.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: However, the problem is today on National Oyster Day. Yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: all of us are planning on being at the feast
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: of carring. I know, and I know, maybe I can
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: go have a double lunch today. I'll go to the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Feast of carrying and then go get a couple of
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: dozen on the half show.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: There's nothing more there. I feel bad whenever, because I've
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: done this a couple of times, so it's been like,
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: you know, I just want to go eat some oysters,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: and I show up so I can eat, and then
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: you're just ordering them. It is a weird look to
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: just be going through dozens and dozens and dozens and
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: dozens of oysters. I feel like people stare. I don't care,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't care.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I've been eating oysters since the yeah, since I was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: a wee little lad.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: All right, what else have you got?
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: It's National Underwear Day.

  Speaker 1: Stop at the Walgreens on the way to Oxford, Mississippi,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and pick up some fresh It is crucial.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: It's also worked like a dog day. It acknowledges extraordinary
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: effort and dedicated work ethic around the workplace. And also
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: so this is one I found interesting. It's International Traffic
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Light Day and the world's first electronic traffic light signal
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: was in Cleveland, Ohio.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, I had no clue. Yep, Cleveland needed the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: traffic control. Yeah, go back in Cleveland was relevant, Yes, exactly,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: right back when they could keep a quarterback for more
• 14:28

  Speaker 4: keep seeing stories about about the band. And one of
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: the interesting ones out of Austin is Austin police are
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: being like, if you get arrested for having Delta eight,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: they're going to have to send it off to like
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: a lab lab because it's a you can't really just
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: tell what it is. You actually have to get an identici,
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: a delta depla, all this other stuff, and then after

  Speaker 4: it comes back they can hit you with a warrant
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: and arrest you.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Man even talk.

• 27:54
  Speaker 4: story in case you weren't aware, they have the breakdown
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: of the arging limitations based on weight. And I think
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: the big one we know is like less than one
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: gram of delta eight is a state jail felony right now,
• 28:10

  Speaker 1: going to say state jail felony, probably just throwing a
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: guess out there, twenty five ounces.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: I thought, if you have any of any in Texas,
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: any of it at all, you automatically have a filony.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: No Riley, no, no, no. You can have two ounces
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: of real marijuana for and get a Class B misdemeanor.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of weed for a ticket class a
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: mister meanor four ounces of weed. State jail felony for
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: actual trafficked and illegal marijuana potentially from a cartel. You
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: can have five pounds before you get a state jail felony.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It's the craziness that is involved in first of all,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: every surrounding state you know, and is legalized to some steps, right. Yeah,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the fact that on Friday, for the people that enjoy
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: these things or use these things for whatever reasons they do.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Which is Irroman. It's like because it was legal for
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: them to.

• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Literally. Yeah, like the Cinderella the clock struck midnight and
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: if you happen to get caught with check's notes less
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: than one gram.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: And look, I'm not an act but going to jail.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not an advocate as much as I am a libertarian, right,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: And if you look at what is going on in
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: America today, we had a statistic that came out last
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: week that said more people smoke marijuana than smoke cigarettes.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Now in the United States, it is obvious that the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: pop population is speaking on behalf of this subject. Now,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: let's look at why the Lieutenant governor is pushing for
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: this legislation that went into effect.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's changed, what's changed is changed. What's changed is
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: so important.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: The kids are no longer drinking and the liquor lobby
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: donated to his you know situation.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Are you ready for some more?
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: So, state jail felony less than one gram felony, third
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: degree only one gram. So the one gram line, they
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: catch you with one gram third degree felony. How much
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: real marijuana does it take to get a third degree
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: felony in the state of Texas?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Will again, I'd throw me in just eleven d billion.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: So you said five pounds.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Is like, five pounds is a felony, but a third
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: degree felony, that's the That's the next line, from five
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: pounds to what where do we get a third degree felony?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: My real guess is going to be twenty five.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say twenty five, but I'm gonna go higher.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go fifty fifty pounds is the line.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Wow, Riley, Riley, Wow, Male, fifty pounds of weed equals
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: one gram of delta eight fifty pounds of real actual traffic.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: How much did they pull out of that car the
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: other day. Was it fifty pounds?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's twenty five.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: That's not even halfway there. Fam not even halfway there.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Four grams or less of delta eight will get you
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: a second degree felony in the state of Texas. Four
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: grams four grams is light. But how much weed will
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: it take to get to a second degree felony in
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: the state of Texas? Riley, you're you're riding a hot streak.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: You want to take a shot at it?
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Eight to ten?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Eight?
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Well, you said, fifty pounds, goes up? We're going, Oh,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: it will be a number above fifty.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: Mmm.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go eighty five, eighty five, one hundred one ton?
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: What ton?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Ton? Look, it will.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Take ten wheelers are like ships.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: It will take you one ton of marijuana to get
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: to a second degree felony. But only four grams four.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Grams.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Whenever I said the eight that right, it's all.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Ridiculous, It's all ridiculous.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just again keep that in mind today. If
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: you if you happen to be one of those people
• 32:43

  Speaker 5: This good morning, I'm Riley Blurke you with your morning
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: sports update. On sixteen, twenty ninety four or five wta W. Yesterday,
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Aggie Football had their report day where they were able
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: to knock out a lot of organizational aspects ahead of
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: getting the opportunity to finally get back on the field tonight.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Since the news of the court in junctions regarding changes
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: to rules for the roster happened, head coach Mike Elko
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: talked about the importance of competition within the team.
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: I think it's really important. You know, there's you have
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: so many conversations about what's the right way to do
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: roster management because this is all new and there's not
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: massive sample sizes to study of what the right way
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: to put these rosters together. And I'm just still a
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: firm believer that when you have eighteen to twenty one
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: year olds, competition is better. The desire to have to
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: get up every day and fight to earn things is
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: what will ultimately create the development that you need. You
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: still want to create that competitive mindset in these young kids,
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: and so I think that's what we have strived for
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: and roster creation even to say, you know, we're not
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: bringing in the starting tackle, We're going to have a
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: handful of guys that we think are really good that
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: can compete to earn that spot, because through that competition,
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: everybody gets better.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Coach Alco also commented on the talent of the secondary
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: this season and feeling as though they're going into the
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: season with an SEC level secondary. Safety Dalton Brooks commented
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: on the coaching staff's praise of the secondary this offseason
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: and what the defense brings to the field this season
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: compared to those in the past.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: You know, we have an older secondary, so it kind
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: of means more this year, and we have a lot
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: of the same people coming back, so we kind of
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: have a stronger bond even more than last year. And
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: with that, I mean, it just means more this year
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: to us. I feel like we bring aggression, you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: I mean, as a defense, you need aggression, and like
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: as DBS, that's the most thing needed, you know, on
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: the edge, playing the edge, playing the field and all
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: of that. You need aggression everywhere. And I feel like
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: that's what we're bringing this year on both ods little ball.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Today marks the one month countdown to the start of
• 35:03

• 35:27
  Speaker 5: in volleyball program. Head coach Jamie Morrison met with the

  Speaker 5: media yesterday to talk about the anticipation ahead of the
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: start of the season.
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: Who We're excited. I think the thing we've been talking
• 35:37
  Speaker 11: about is just this team story that it's going to
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: tell over the course of the season, and I think
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: we're excited to get that started. And we've had three

  Speaker 11: really really good days of practice, four really good days
• 35:45

• 36:00
  Speaker 11: practice until we're tournament ready and ready to go make

• 36:07
  Speaker 11: down and gotten the work.
• 36:08
