7:10
Speaker 1: there's there's competition companies, right, big giant ones. This is
7:14
Speaker 1: one This particular brand, I guess is not a league
7:20
Speaker 1: that we've competed in before. Yeah, so they'd never seen
7:23
Speaker 1: this before, right, and it was the national competition. So
7:27

7:31
Speaker 1: then decides who gets to go to the finals. Two
7:36
Speaker 1: judges cried, one of them, one of them, they cried.
7:40
Speaker 1: One of them did the mind blowing. They've never seen
7:43
Speaker 1: this before, right, they see jazz, they see tap, they
7:46
Speaker 1: see hip hop, they see all of this stuff. They've
7:49
Speaker 1: never seen the country and western dancing that that this
7:52
Speaker 1: group does.
7:53
Speaker 6: I will say that I think we get spoiled.
7:55
Speaker 7: You get spoiled to the aggie wranglers and the various
7:58
Speaker 7: versions from being in.
8:00
Speaker 6: And even even if you're in the state of Texas.
8:02
Speaker 6: I feel like you don't quite get to see that. Yeah, often, right,
8:07
Speaker 6: because I know, I.
8:09
Speaker 7: Know for a fact, because people see it, they tend
8:11
Speaker 7: to tend to want to book them in things Ella
8:13
Speaker 7: Langley recently.
8:14
Speaker 6: Right, it's like, wait a minute, I'm doing something from Texas.
8:17

8:35
Speaker 1: on Saturday. So first round. Minds were blown. They got
8:38
Speaker 1: a Precision award and then they get on, uh to
8:42
Speaker 1: the finals. Right, there's eight teams in the finals, and
8:45
Speaker 1: I have to explain this. So there are different levels
8:49
Speaker 1: on the on the dance, right, and the and the
8:51
Speaker 1: the highest level. Essentially it it's it's based on how
8:56
Speaker 1: many hours a week you practice.
8:57
Speaker 6: Right.
8:58
Speaker 1: So the highest level group there practice is like ten
9:01
Speaker 1: to fifteen hours a week. Right. The little and elite
9:06
Speaker 1: wranglers are in the lowest group. They practiced two hours
9:09
Speaker 1: a week. We were the only team that was not
9:13
Speaker 1: in that upper echelon that made the finals Earth and
9:16
Speaker 1: we we nearly wanted it was that close. Some of
9:19
Speaker 1: the social media like they post on the they posted
9:22
Speaker 1: a picture on their Insta. Yeah, this dance was so
9:25

9:51
Speaker 8: and decided that it was not for me.
9:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's insane, you don't want to do that.
9:54
Speaker 7: But I will say this, like having nieces, I go
9:57

28:09
Speaker 6: I gotta yeah, that's it's gonna get packed.
28:12
Speaker 7: But what I have been watching is the auxiliary stuff
28:15
Speaker 7: and just kind of the the events around. Oh yeah,
28:18
Speaker 7: especially because they're playing games, I mean playing games Houston
28:21
Speaker 7: and playing games Dallas. For instance, Dallas bars ran out
28:25
Speaker 7: of beer. Several happened in Boston too, and that's I mean,
28:28
Speaker 7: that's that's hard to do, but it's it's being accomplished
28:33
Speaker 7: where they're they're literally and and a lot of times
28:36
Speaker 7: the servers that were involved in this, people thought, and
28:40
Speaker 7: in Houston specifically, like this is gonna be a payday,
28:43
Speaker 7: like we are gonna make a killing this summer. Servers
28:48
Speaker 7: have not been making a killing, don't They don't tip.
28:52
Speaker 6: They don't tip.
28:53
Speaker 7: Foreigners don't tip because it's only an American thing.
28:58
Speaker 6: They have no concept of tipping.
29:01
Speaker 7: So what they're doing now is they're trying to kind
29:04
Speaker 7: of reverse engineer this is start adding mandatory twenty percent, yeah,
29:07
Speaker 7: to make it so.
29:08
Speaker 6: That okay, great, we're good to go.
29:10
Speaker 7: Because again they get their check, they're not looking at
29:13
Speaker 7: it necessarily, they.
29:14
Speaker 1: Don't see they just drank the bar out of beer.
29:17
Speaker 1: Then they can't see the numbers.
29:18
Speaker 6: So, yeah, it's been a problem. We'll see if that helps.
29:21
Speaker 7: But there have been a lot of complaints from servers
29:23
Speaker 7: in some of the bigger cities that that.
29:25
Speaker 6: Were actually were working.
29:26
Speaker 7: I mean, they're working themselves to death because again, if
29:30
Speaker 7: you watch some of the videos from some of the
29:32
Speaker 7: bars and restaurants that are down there when there's a game,
29:35
Speaker 7: it's y'all, it's a I mean the restaurants selling some product.
29:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was about to saying that you and I
29:41
Speaker 1: that owned the place or probably we're probably going to
29:43
Speaker 1: cut the staff in on a little bit of the
29:46
Speaker 1: of the bonus there.
29:47
Speaker 7: You would have to have to have some kind of
29:50
Speaker 7: a plan to yeah, to bonus them after this is
29:53
Speaker 7: all done, because you'll have the money to do it.
29:55
Speaker 1: Uh.
29:56
Speaker 7: The other thing, did any of you guys see over
29:58
Speaker 7: the weekend. It was the Netherlands. I want to say
30:01
Speaker 7: they played Sweden. Don't don't yell at me if I'm
30:03
Speaker 7: wrong about this, because again I didn't watch the game.
30:06
Speaker 7: All I saw was the Netherlands.
30:08
Speaker 1: Are you where what I saw? I saw sort of
30:11
Speaker 1: the news story, but I did not see the video
30:13
Speaker 1: until earlier this morning.
30:15
Speaker 7: You don't know, okay, Riley, Google Orange walk Houston. So
30:20
Speaker 7: the Netherlands has this tradition of where as part of
30:24
Speaker 7: the pregame, they get together and they go find their bus.
30:29
Speaker 7: They ship these buses overseas and have them ready for
30:34
Speaker 7: this bornship buses, buses, there's and so the bus parks
30:39
Speaker 7: at a certain location and then the Netherlands fans show
30:43
Speaker 7: up and they party for a little while, they do
30:47
Speaker 7: a dance, and then they start walking.
30:50
Speaker 5: Uh.
30:50
Speaker 7: And so in this instance, it was from Rice Village
30:54
Speaker 7: all the way to NRG. So that area around Rice,
30:57
Speaker 7: West U and all that stuff basically got shut down
31:00
Speaker 7: from about seven in the morning till game time. And
31:02
Speaker 7: if you have not seen the videos, this is something
31:06
Speaker 7: that you do have to go and google.
31:09
Speaker 8: Rile, let me know when you ve I've never seen
31:11
Speaker 8: this much orange in my life.
31:13
Speaker 1: What you got there was I'm looking at the fact
31:15
Speaker 1: that that was a four mile walk from Rice Stadium.
31:20
Speaker 1: I think that's right there. It's generally a sixteen minute drive. Yeah,
31:24
Speaker 1: and they walked this. Yeah, they danced this. They danced
31:29
Speaker 1: this in the Houston humidity, which is oppressive on a
31:31
Speaker 1: good day.
31:32
Speaker 6: They broke that.
31:33
Speaker 7: They basically opened up the fire extinguishers for them to
31:36
Speaker 7: soak down. People were on their roofs throwing water and
31:40
Speaker 7: throwing beer, and I had some people that I knew
31:43
Speaker 7: were down there attested me. It was like, I've been
31:45
Speaker 7: in Houston for my entire life. I've never in my
31:47
Speaker 7: life seen a party like this. But the thing that's
31:49
Speaker 7: crazy is when they started, they do this thing where
31:51
Speaker 7: they all hop like left and they all hop right.
31:54
Speaker 7: I'm gonna play the English version of this song that
31:56
Speaker 7: they do it too, because it'll get stuck in your head.
31:58
Speaker 1: Oh thanks for that.
32:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's uh, it's it's it's something. This is my
32:07
Speaker 6: Snowbolagus is the that's worse than Taco.
32:11
Speaker 7: Get Ready, we're starting to bo So the bus starts
32:18
Speaker 7: playing this and then everyone like loses their mind.
32:22
Speaker 8: I could see you losing your mind to this though,
32:26
Speaker 8: and so when.
32:27
Speaker 7: He starts this thing right here, twenty thousand humans, legitimately
32:34
Speaker 7: they'll start hopping left.
32:36
Speaker 1: Oh there's the beat drop.
32:37
Speaker 6: And then flip it back.
32:41
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's an easy you love a dance song with
32:44
Speaker 7: an instruction in it.
32:47
Speaker 6: And then they do this part, and this causes the
32:52
Speaker 6: Dutch to justice. I mean, they lose it.
32:55
Speaker 1: It's amazing. What causes the Dutch to lose their mind?
32:57
Speaker 6: I'll post it.
33:04
Speaker 8: Good morning, I'm Riley Blurking with your morning sports update.
33:07

33:11
Speaker 8: North Carolina tar Heels forced a winner take off Game
33:14
Speaker 8: three set for tonight after taking down the Oklahoma Sooners
33:18
Speaker 8: six to two. The games were similar to one another.
33:21
Speaker 8: The only difference was the winners. As Oklahoma was held
33:24
Speaker 8: scoreless after the first inning. In Game one, North Carolina
33:28
Speaker 8: drove in three in the first before putting up zeros
33:31
Speaker 8: for the remaining eight innings. The Sooners had just two
33:34
Speaker 8: hits over the final eight innings yesterday, whereas North Carolina
33:38
Speaker 8: had just three hits over the final eight Saturday. After
33:41
Speaker 8: a four hit first, North Carolina's right handed freshman relief
33:45
Speaker 8: pitcher Caden Glabber handled a previously dangerous Sooner offense with
33:49
Speaker 8: eight strikeouts over five innings on just one hit. He
33:53
Speaker 8: is the third reliever in MCWS Finals history to record
33:57
Speaker 8: eight or more ks. The Sooners offense was just held
34:00
Speaker 8: under eight runs for the second time in the eleven

Speaker 8: recapped his team's performance in Game two.
34:10
Speaker 12: Great game against a very very good team, you know,
34:13
Speaker 12: very well coached. They give you a lot of challenges,
34:16
Speaker 12: you know, on both sides of the ball. They jumped
34:18
Speaker 12: on us quick. Our guys did a great job of
34:21
Speaker 12: just putting their head down and not panicking. And we
34:24
Speaker 12: talk about it all the time, like being processed. We're
34:26
Speaker 12: in next play mentality. Just play every pitch when you
34:29
Speaker 12: look up, whatever happens happens. We did a good job
34:31
Speaker 12: of that. I thought Lynch was good. It's an oblique.
34:33
Speaker 12: Hopefully you can get that thing better and pitch for
34:35
Speaker 12: us tomorrow. I don't think it's too serious, but I
34:37

34:41
Speaker 12: lights out for us. So excited for our team. This
34:44
