• 4:28
  Speaker 1: owned border colleagues. Right, this dog is the most agile do.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: What makes her so difficult to pin in? Is it

• 4:40
  Speaker 1: She has it looks like devon a chain out there.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, there is no catching that dog if she
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to be caught. And that's one of her
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: favorite games.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: And she never I'm going to assume never wants she is.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: She is very catlike. Everything is on her ms. Right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So I get home yesterday and I had to go
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: over to Huntsville for a little trip, and I ran back.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: As soon as I got home, I jumped in the studio,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: which is at another location on our property. The second
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I sat down, pulled up the microphone, got ready to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: do some stuff. My daughter calls, bless her heart. She
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is just I mean, she has gone off the end.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: She sometimes she does not handle crisis. Well sometimes, okay,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: so she's she's panicking. She's panicking. She calls me because
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the dog is run out the house. She tried to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: chase it barefooted, hit the hit the pavement. Oh, Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: figured out that my advice to always keep a pair
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of shoes handy is probably pretty good advice.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: So never never chase, never chase an animal outside barefoot.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Now in the summertime, not anytime. News. So she's she's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: just I mean, I can hear her.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: So I get up, go back to the pull out,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: because it's a it's a it's a half mile basically
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to the house. So I pull out the driveway and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: go up the road and there's the Annie running down
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the side and she likes to I knew that that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: as soon as I pulled into the driveway, because she
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: goes crazy when anybody pulls into the driveway. I knew
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: as soon as I pulled in the driveway she would
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: come tearing up. Man. And sure enough, here she comes.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, this little black and white ball of streak fuzz.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, just all of a sudden, some got real interesting. Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: got real interested at that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And then she she saw me get out, and she decided,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: after this she ran up to me, I'll reach down
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to get her. She ran away, and then she ran
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: back to me and decided that I was it was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: okay with her if I picked her up at that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: point in time, handed her back to the daughter. The
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: daughter went inside. I got back in the truck, drove
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: back down to the studio and finished what I was working.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: You gotta start treating your home like it's like like
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: you gotta start prisoning your home. I mean, you gotta
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: have like multiple egresses where it's like, okay to get
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: through this gate or this door, you know, just multiple
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: points because those little suckers will they'll jail break.

  Speaker 6: Yeah, done, there goes my dog.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what she was. That's what my daughter
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was really scared about. And I get it, man, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: love that. I love that dog. But as I always say,

• 8:58
  Speaker 6: W Riley was telling us about some of the stores
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: employed to keep dogs. I've never ever found a strategy
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: to keep dogs that want to run off.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Dog wants ago. It's gonna dog wants to go.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: I've never been more fit in my life. And when

  Speaker 6: I was living near downtown Brian, they had like the
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: little short fences in the backyard and I had a
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: little terrier mix still due, but every day, every day
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: she would find a way either over that fence, under
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: that fence, or through that fence, which meant I was
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: chasing a dog over about a two mile radius. No
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: way to get her to stop, no way. I feel
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: like I tried everything.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: That's that's the reason I got a basket hound, because
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: because the dog I had prior to the basket hound
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: was willed to be by my grandfather literally in the will,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and it was a border colleague named Bob. And when
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Bob decided to split gone, you weren't k catching him.

• 9:54
  Speaker 1: him back to North Louisiana buried him next to my grandfather.

• 24:30
  Speaker 6: not here, although I guess this could happen here, could
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Did you see this snake story?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mammel, Arkansas, Holy cat, it's my old stomping ground.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, this is your neck of the woods.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I lived up there. You know. Mamel's just it's
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: in the Little Rock area, right. Okay, so you know
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: in Arkansas small If you say you lived in Arkansas
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: for nine years, you know most of the communities up there,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: no doubt. So apparently this fella wearing this football helmet
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: for almost an hour kind of felt something in it,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: squirming around.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: Kind of felt something in it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Something's moving inside my helm.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: And over the course of an hour.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in practice, in practice, pulls off his helmet. Two
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: foot long water moccasin, two.
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: Foot long venomous snake had bawled itself up somehow in
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: his helmet. He throws on this lid, goes out there,
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: start I presume bumping around, hitting people, right bit you
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: know it's a contact because his helmet's on and yeah.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing, nothing, took it off. There's the snake in there.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Of course. See what happened is when you leave your
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: helmet off and you set it down, snake's like shade too.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: So the snake crawled in. He strapped up his bonnet,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: put it back on. Snake moves around, he pulls it off,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and then everybody freaks out right.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: Justify freak out from me? That would be put it
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: to you this way. If I put on a foot
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: violent take it off. Look down. I'm done for the day.
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: I may be done for the week.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Either that or I'm hoping that the coach has to stop.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Watch out because that forty time is going to be
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the best I will ever run.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, you get a reputation for that as a kid.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: That kid's hardcore. Now yeah, snakes bite him.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Well, apparently there's some other hardcore people there because although
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: they called Mamel's animal control officials, they managed to capture
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the snake before they showed up. Got it in some
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: sort of bag.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: It was a cotton man.
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: Why would you try and catch it?
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well I'm just running away.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I take you back running the location. This is Arkansas.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: There's kids that grow up snake handling.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: There, it's snake handling.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Some of them on Sundays.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: No g snake handling. It is how it is properly.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so mamel Animal Shelter addressed the incident animal filter.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: They apparently took it to a nearby forested area and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: released it. That's wonderful, because you know, can't.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I can't. I can't do it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: No, I would. I would have absolutely lost.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: It ugly to say that had it been my helmet,
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: that cotton mouth would no longer be alive.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I think if they had not, if media
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: was not involved, they and the Animal shelter was not involved,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: they probably would have taken the old garden home.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: I don't have a problem with that. My thing is
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: that I just wouldn't because it's a as soon as
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: I saw a water mooks and fall out of my hat,
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: I I'm just I am going as fast the other way.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: Is it as scared of you as it probably going
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: the other way? Probably not trying to fight. I'm looking
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: for the rest of them. Yeah, for sure they did.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: They did get the kid a new helmet. They didn't
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: make him strap back on the old one. That's insane.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Speaking of snakes. Yeah, yeah, you guys remember the Tiger King, right,

  Speaker 1: because they're terrified of snakes.
• 28:38

  Speaker 6: but you see how dumb that is.
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, pet and tigers, Yeah, all good pet snakes out.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: The first five minutes disproves that are just just peters
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: rather that there's not enough chlorine in the gene pool.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: It is absolutely terrifying. But it gets to the point

• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I told you, guys, I dated a girl in
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Austin whose brother had eleven of the most venomous snakes
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: on the planet. Two monocle cobras, a rattlesnake named Big Daddy,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: a rhinoceros viper, a gaboon viper, and several others.
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: Why would you do this?

• 32:09
  Speaker 1: what you're doing when you go visit.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Okay, yes, that will be on my list, very very.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: You should watch it. You should watch it. I want
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: to hear. I want to hear what you think about
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: that first opening scene.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: I am dreading, dreading watching this.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: Good morning, I'm Riley Flirk you with your morning Sports Upday.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: On sixteen, twenty ninety four five WTA W Tonight, the
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: A and M soccer team is set to open the
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty six season at Holloway Field in Houston, Texas
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: against the Rice Owls. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth talked about
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: the relationship building within the team and reflects back on
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: the preseason matches.
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: You know, we try to as much as we can
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: build those relationships as quick as possible, but you know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: having experiences with one another and time, you know, take
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: time to learn players and learn, you know, learn their instincts,
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: learn their behaviors. So I think with us, you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: it's no different. We talk a lot about predictability and
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: behavior and that being important for others to be able
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: to adjust, knowing what you're going to do ahead of time.
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: So I think as you get more experience as a team,
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: and you have more game experience, then those things become
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: easier and those relationships become a little bit more easy
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: to predict. We have the ability to be a very
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: good team, and when we're intent full and making decisions
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: always and not taking moments off, I think we have
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: the ability to be a high level team. And then
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: there are moments where we don't do those things, and
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: I think that shows in our play, and we got
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: to be more consistent in doing all of those things.
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: Coach Shuttleworth also shared his thoughts ahead of today's match
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: against Rice.
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: I think Rice are a good program, been a good program,
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: successfully successful program for a long time, and they're difficult
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: to play against. You know, played against them when I
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: was at Florida State. We went to Rice and played
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: them in twenty twenty two and it was a difficult game,
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: a tough place to play. And they're going to be
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: organized and compact and hard to deal with. So, you know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: we got to make sure we're up.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: For tonight's season opener. Can be streamed on ESPN Plus
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: and the start time for the match is set for
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: six o'clock. Yesterday was day six of fall camp for
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: the A and M football team and offensive coordinator Home
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: and Wiggins met with the media to talk about his
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: group and the competition level within it.
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: Any good coach is going to try to tailor everything
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: that they do to the players and the personnel that
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: they have. So for us as looking at what our
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: guys do well trying to put those guys in a
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: great position to be successful and make that happen. I
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: think we have some really good pieces. I'm excited about them.
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: And you know, we're five days or five practices through
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: camp and we're starting to figure some things out. Well,
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: there's competition all over the place, and the biggest thing
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: for us is we talked about making sure that we
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: run the ball consistently, and we made an effort to
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: kind of tell our guys that doesn't just start with
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: the offensive line. You know, that's a quarterback carrying out
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: the fakes. That's our running backs seeing pressing a whole.
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: That's our receivers trying to bleed a perimeter. That's also
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: our tight ends trying to, you know, play hard within
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: the cores. But the offensive line has done a great
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: job of taking on that stress and doing a great
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: job of coming out and trying to make sure that
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: they move the line of scrimmage, you know, anchor there
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: and control the tempo because they control a lot of
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: what we do.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: As of today, we are twenty four days out from
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: seeing the Aggies hit the field and kick off the
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: start of the twenty twenty sixth season at Kyle Field
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: and then we'll be taking on Missouri State at six
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: o'clock on September fifth. Last night, the Aggie volleyball team
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: started off their season with the Maroon and White Scrimmage
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: at Rita Arena. Outside hitter Kendall Stours met with the
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: media following the scrimmage to talk about the upcoming season
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: and the new team.
• 35:43
  Speaker 12: It's basically right in the middle. To me, I was
• 35:46
  Speaker 12: just talking to a girl about the other day. But
• 35:48
  Speaker 12: it's the game a voilable. The ball doesn't change, and
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: then that doesn't change, the court doesn't change. It's still vollyable.
• 35:52
  Speaker 12: So you just continue on with that, you continue on
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: with everything that we're learning in the gym. I think
• 35:56
  Speaker 12: that you know the ceiling. There is no ceiling in
• 35:58
  Speaker 12: the game of volleyball. You can always get better. So
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: we kind of just pick up where we left off
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: last season individually, also as a team just growing off
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: of what we've done to continue to get better, but
• 36:07
  Speaker 12: also it is a brand new team, and so kind
• 36:09
  Speaker 12: of restarting and flipping the page with that, with just
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: the chemistry, getting along with each girl, building new relationships
• 36:15
  Speaker 12: and seeing what that looks like on the court is
• 36:17
  Speaker 12: going to be a new page. But I think you
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: just kind of combined the two and we'll see what happens.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: The Marina Whites next match will be in Waco, Texas,
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: where the team will play their first exhibition match against
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: the Baylor Bears on August sixteenth, with first serve set
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: for six o'clock. That's your Morning Sports Update on sixteen,
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: twenty ninety four or five WTAW. I'm Riley Flurky.
