• 6:43
  Speaker 2: nephew who is in the w W E. Curley, Yes,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: while ron Breaker bron Breaker is the nephew. And then
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: his son who plays for the UH in some form
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: or fashion somehow the Saints.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: He's an undrafted rookie wide receiver.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And he's already been suspended for six games because of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: performance drugs.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: The needle doesn't far fall for the tree, doesn't the story?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And I like so, like we were like talking about
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: all this. I went, I was looking at all of them, like, man,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: you said, the apple and fall far from the tree? Like, man,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: this is all intertwined in weird ways of just the
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: ball in the fight.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a soap opera. Love it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So this dude he takes like he, I guess he's
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: playing stops a cow and I need to go find
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the clip. But he he hits him with a Suplex.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It was a German supplex.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: He took him to Suplex City on the football field,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: which of course is a not to be done.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It wasn't during the course of play. It was during
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the course of the after play fight exactly one.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Of the six between the Saints of the Cowboys.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just glad to see there's a pulse on the Cowboys.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm encouraged. I think whenever they do these
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: inner squad scrimmages, like I mean, I'd watch him if
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: if I knew there was actually going to be a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: fight every single time, and I'd watch him even more.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: If you could point out the wrestlers kids on the side,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: they know that's the guy that that's Scott Steiner's son.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Goldberg's boy played for Bernie.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Goldberg's boy is going to play for Geez. I forgot
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: where he went. He did golge ball some ways, Yes, I.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Just remember he was playing at Bernie gauge Yeah he
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: was good dude.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Well Bill, there was a freaking nature too, like yeah,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: So I yeah, put those two. Put those two across
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: from each other.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So we have the concept in place now for a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: new sports league, ex.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Wrestlers, wrestlers and their kids playing football at I would
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: be fun.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: There there's a there's a few of them. The problem is, though,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: is the wrestlers are never that great at football. No,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and then they go and they become really really good
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: at wrestling, so like, I don't know that it would
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: be great for quality of play. Really, this is more
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: just kind of like I treat this like the tech SAgs. Yeah,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: recruiting for the future of WWE, Like, can you suplex
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a few members of the Cowboys? Great, I'm gonna expect
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: to see you in a Mania one infomation the Summer
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Slam at least, I don't know.

  Speaker 1: just the sporting events and it was hockey fights. Yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and there were just two guys on skates on an
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: ice ring. Hockey is like a boxing ring.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: With ice all fights.
• 9:25

• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I love the best case Scario for a hockey game.

  Speaker 2: I know we are. We are stocked stocked with reasons
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to celebrate today, this twentieth day of August twenty twenty
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: six let's begin.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: So we have quite a few holidays. I'm going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: start off with the only one on this list that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I will not be celebrated. It is World Mosquito Day.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Who celebrates that? I don't know.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know why that's the holiday. I don't know
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: who thoughts.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: But on a list it commemorates Sir Ronald Ross's eighteen
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: ninety seven discovery that female mosquitoes transmit malaria to humans. Okay,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: so that's what we're commemorating.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: We're commemorating that these are the literal worst creature on
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the face of the planet, the most deadly creature they
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: are they are, but also the most annoying ruins your
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: out outdoors time if they're around, always a health risk
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to you and your animals. Just misery. But we don't
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: need to be reminded of that is my point. Okay,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: we know, we know. I don't think we need a
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: whole day to no.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It is also International Hawaiian Pizza Day. I'm not a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: fan of it, but I don't.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Just recently I've started because for me, fruit never belonged
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: on pizza. And don't start the argument of tomatoes fruit
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: or not fruit doesn't long on pizza, but here recently
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I've been getting pizza rolls with the ham and the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: pineapple in them.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I think the roles change, the change the equation in
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a role. For whatever reason, that's a lot better to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: me than on a pizza.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I don't get the marinara sauce
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in a roll. Oh yeah, so because mari and eara
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: is one of the things that old age has.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady mentioned that never eat tomatoes. It's one of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: one of the old one of the the old man's secret, right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Well, they used to think it was poison back in
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the night Shades.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I believe there anyway, So yeah, not bad, not bad.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: It's also Bacon Lover's Day.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: We can celebrate that. Yes, it should also celebrate the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: world's only real essential oil, bacon grease.

• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've discussed IPA's here.

• 12:21
  Speaker 1: if you skip national radio.

  Speaker 1: of people still listen to the radio in the car.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Sixty seven percent say they listen to the radio every
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: day at some point. Really, wait, what sixty seven percent
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: say they listen to the radio every day at some point? Okay,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: fifty six yeah, fifty six percent of women and thirty
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: five percent of men sing along to the radio. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: think that percentage of men is low because I sing
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: along with the radio, but I may not want anybody
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: to know it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: My dad hums, Okay, that could count.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I guess we'll give it to him. Let's see, fifty
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: nine percent of women and seventy six percent of men
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: are listening when when we say don't touch that dial,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and they stay and they stay on a station during
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the commercials. And finally, wait, nine percent of people say
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: radio stations don't play enough commercials.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Depends on the commercial. Yeah, that depends on the commercial.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It depends especially if it's one of those ones where
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: you play it every single commercial break. There were some
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: that I've worked on other radio stations where there was
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: that one commercial that they put on that log about
• 13:26

• 13:29
  Speaker 3: of it.

  Speaker 2: Well, it's just that there should be one, because there
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: are some that are really great. Like I'll hear in
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: any city that's a really great commercial. Absolutely, I'd like
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: to hear more of that. You know, of that, of
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that you know, sty or whatever it is that needs

  Speaker 2: some of these commercials you guys are sending in as
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: the the ones that have been the best radio commercials
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: and TV commercials.

  Speaker 1: the great jingles that we have.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Donna says, in honor of Robert Plant's birthday today,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: you should play plant or Animal. You familiar with plant
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: or animal?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: No, But as soon as I saw the title of it,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I know, I know where this
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: is going.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: So the way this game works in theory is you're
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: guessing between whether it's Robert Plant, the lead singer of
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Led Zeppelin and perhaps the greatest front man in Rocket
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: roll history, or is it an animal? Is it a
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: beast of the field? Riley? Are you ready? Yes?
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: But I've never played this.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Just say plant or animal based on the noise that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: you hear. In a second. Once I get this, there
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: we go somewhere around here, nice little guitar back.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Of course, animal animal, You're supposed to say plant or animal?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, plant, that's a warming animal.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Animal, animal that might be planted, that's planned.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Plant, plants, animal and plant, I don't know animal. How
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: can you tell them to plan? An animal, Riley is
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: batting zero versus.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I think she's a little confused. So is it Robert
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: plant or is it a noise that an animal makes?
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, that was not what I was Playing's got her
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: own little game going on over there. You don't even
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: want to know what I was thinking.
• 27:25

  Speaker 2: intern at a concert venue decided she was going to
• 27:47

  Speaker 4: Take to get you to go outside?
• 28:19

  Speaker 9: work for a concert venue and I do the marketing.
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: I like going with the concerts.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: Right now, part of my job is marketing to gen

• 28:40
  Speaker 10: Okay? I have a few suggestions. You're ready, First, physical tickets.
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: No more of the scanning thingy stuff. We panic that
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: it's not going to scan it the venue. We're not
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: going to have cell service. It's too much pressure. Every
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: We'd like to save the stub as a souvenir, so
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: we get taped it to our mirror when we get home.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, nail mailed it. Why did we get rid of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: that saving trees or something?
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: And the purchase of your ticket should include complimentary readers
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: and ibuprofen. Yes, you can get some company to agree
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: to this so they could slap their name on the
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: glasses of them.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Do we need to put chairs on the venue?
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Do you need chairs?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I don't even need to wait for Dan, but but yeah,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the answer is hell yeat that was on my list.
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: Yes, chairs would be awesome. Panted chairs with a bat.
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: None of those stools or high chairs are saying I
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: can't deal with that. Yeah, man, So the last rushrooms.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: The last show that I went to in Bend, Oregon. Right,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: two shows Friday and Saturday night. You could rent chairs
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: from the venue, right, like lawn chairs. Yeah, like the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the good stuff, not like not not poor quality chairs
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: cost you tens deal.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, here's my thing. I'm sorry these concert venues are
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: trying to scam us out of so much money. There
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: should just be lawn chairs should just be given to
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: people at this point, because I'm sorry the amount of
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: money it takes to one buy the ticket to get
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: to the facility, purchase your parking pass where you're going
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: to park for the event. On top of everything else,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: the twenty dollars beer, the fifteen dollars hot dogs. You
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: can give me a freaking lawn chair that costs two
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: dollars and ninety nine cents from Walmart to sit down.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Tell me how you really feel about I kind of
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: agree with this. I agree with you it plus getting
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: getting basically nickeled and dim.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: And certainly a valid point. I was just grateful to
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: have the option and not have to tote the chair
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: for miles walking into the state.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: That's how far it's come. Will That's how badly they
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: treat us. When you get a rented academy camper chair,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, geez, best concert, and it is.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: It was because you've got to have a chair. I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: was grateful to have it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: I once gave a restaurant a five star review because
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: they had an immaculate restroom. I don't even remember if
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: the food was good or not.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Actual, he says.
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: Vyner the band one thousand dollars for every minute they
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: were late taking the stage from the start time, because
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: we most likely took a nap before we got there
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: and already calculated what time we're going to bed that night.
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: If they're late, we have to do math and recalculate.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: If it's spring or summer, it should start no later
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: than three pm. Don't agree to be home by six pm.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Why that's spring or so lot? Too hot summer here?
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Oh hell no, no no no, no, no, no, no
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: no no.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I would take dark over real death, any death.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I'm not. I'm not going outside at three pm.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: No watch anything.
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: It's huge because it will still be light out and
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: we don't have to worry about driving home in the dark.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Because I'm going to tell you this right now. If
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: you don't start stepping up, these bands are going to
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: stop touring.
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: And this may ruffle some gen X feathers, but lock
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: all cell phones and there's protective padded cases so we
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: can't access them during the show because I'm there to
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: see the band, not twenty thousand amateur photographers or are
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: going to post it on social media.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: All that I got, no notes, no no notes on that.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: I saw this thing where a lot of concert venues
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: or artists are trying to do this, where there's a
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: scene where you can block cell phones, yeah, from being
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: able to video during concerts, because that's a big issue
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: is everyone's going all these festivals and people are like
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: above their head with their iPhones trying to record it,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: even though for one, none of us are gonna want
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: to watch your recording on TikTok. Sorry, don't care too,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: none of us care that you were there. Just take
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: a photo while you were there. In three You're not
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: gonna go rewatch any of those videos you recorded. Because
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I've been one of those people where I recorded a
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: lot during a I went to see The Weekend a
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago and I recorded like half the concert.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I've never watched one of the videos.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Nope, just taking up space in your story.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Very much in favor of all of those things. If
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: you have any one At nine sev nine six nine
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: five sixteen twenty.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Riley Flerky with your morning sports update
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: on sixteen, twenty ninety four or five wta W. The
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Aggie soccer team lost a three to two battle against
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Texas State last night at Bobcat Soccer Complex. Middlefielder Trinity
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Buchanan only needed forty seconds to break the scoring seal
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: when she scored her team leading third goal of the
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: season with an assisi from Ava Sexton, which is the
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: fifth quickest goal in A and M history. With the
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: start of the A and and volleyball season just two
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: days away, head coach Jamie Morrison recapped what he learned
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: about his team from watching film from the exhibition match
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: they played against Balor.
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: Think first and foremost, the way we competed, and that
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: was all sixteen people that were on the roster and
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: staff included just there were so many times that I
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: noticed our bench rushing towards the court to the point
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: where they got warned during an exhibition that we got
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: worn for yell cards.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: So I think that was number one.
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: I think the second one that we talked a lot
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: about it was the first final five minutes of video
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: that we watched, was just the ability to put pressure
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: on them in a lot of different ways. I thought
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: our serve was pretty elite during that and keeping people
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: off guard a little bit. They didn't know kind of
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: what was coming from server to server. I think the
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: second piece was just Block's ability to get touches and
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: ability to turn those, and our ability to set out
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: a system and take some big rips in some places
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: along those lines. So I think across the board, just
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: that ability to put pressure on somebody for a long
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: periods of time.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Coach Morrison also previewed this weekend's AVCA first serve match
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: against Louisville.
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: I think it'll be a very similar team and the
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: thing I told our team this the thing I like
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: about the beginning of the season. It's like solving a
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: puzzle while you're playing volleyball, and it's a fun, unique,
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: stressful opportunity for us to go play volleyball in that way,
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: so they could come out with a very similar lineup.
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: They could change, they could come out with the Summer
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: and loner lineup, and all of a sudden things are
• 34:21
  Speaker 9: slightly different than what it was last year. So it'll
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: be a little bit of bobbing and weaving probably for
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: the first ten or fifteen points. But they have a
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: lot of pieces that come back. They add to Brooke Baltimore,
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: who we're familiar with just from our time in Kentucky,
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: so I think it's something that we can be familiar with.
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: But again, teams change. Could we like to run behind
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: the center a little bit more than we have in
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: the past, So that'll be a piece of it. The
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: nice thing is they can really run any route, so
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: I think again going back to you can keep people
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: off balance, you can run your offense in a lot
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: of different ways. So I'll leave it at that, just
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: in case Lover Bowl's listening.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: The defending national champions will face Louisville, a rematch of
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: last year's Sweet Sixteen Classic in the season opener on
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Friday night, with first serve set for five o'clock. In
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the MLB last night, the Texas Rangers fell six to
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: zero to the Washington Nationals. Rangers manager Skip Schumacher recapped
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: the loss.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: We had five base runners all night, so he was
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: tough a lot of different weapons. I mean, I don't
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: generally like giving the other side credit, the other picture credit,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: but he was as good as.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I've seen in the league all year.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: You know, ninety seven at the top, ninety two mine
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: hour change up, ninety five mine hour cutter, and a
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: really good sweeper, ninety mine our crew bombing.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: He had some weapons.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: So we just didn't We just couldn't get anything going.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's just the bottom line. And we had
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: a guy on first and second I think a couple
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: of times, and that was that was about it. I
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: thought Kellennick took some good at bats. Evan Carter took
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: some good at bats. Obviously, Corey Seeger, you know, loved
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: the way he's swinging the bat right now. But you know,
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: other than that, it was a challenging night for our offense.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: The Houston Astros broke their three game losing streak last
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: night against the Los Angeles Angels, beating the Angels three
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: to two tonight in the NFL. The Houston Texans are
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: gearing up to face the Los Angeles Raiders in preseason
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Week two. Texans head coach Dmiko Ryan spoke about being
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: pleased with the work he saw from the Texans joint
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: practice against the Raiders yesterday ahead of tonight's preseason game.
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: A really great opportunity as we've been looking forward to
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: the joint practice versus the Raiders as being out here today.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: It was a really good day. Both sides are really
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: competitive football, physical football, both sides making plays, so a
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: lot of positives from us on both sides. Also a
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: lot to learn, a lot to clean up as well,
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: and we got out of the joint practice right now
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: exactly what we wanted, really good competitive work, different schemes
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: to go against different players, and it was really great work.
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: So proud of the guys with today.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Kickoff for the Texans and Raiders game is set for
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock tonight. That's your morning sports update on sixteen,
