• 10:14
  Speaker 6: when I was a kid, I liked I don't. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: don't love the beach. I would prefer a lake over
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: a beach.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, see I don't like lakes. Yeah, it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: it's ocean or nothing.

  Speaker 8: Lakes.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Lakes freak me out.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Ocean doesn't see I don't know why there's much scarier
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: stuff in the ocean, I.
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: Exactly, Like, how do you decide that the lakes scarier
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: than the ocean?
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: The lakes freak me out, and I don't. I think
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: it's just because it's And if I was out in
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: the ocean, like I mean, not at the beach where
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I can see the sand, like when I'm if I
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: was out of the sea and I'm looking down, I
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: can't see anything in the deep part of the water.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: I'm not jumping into that either, because it's the fear
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: of what I can't see.

• 11:12
  Speaker 5: know if i'm I don't know what's under there.

• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Also had this text message overnight that has been recent
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: this morning, and I was doing a little research about
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: this pre show, but I wanted to run it past
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: you guys.
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: Good morning guys.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: This is Chris, one of your regular listeners. Chris been
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: listening to us for years and has even been lucky
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: enough to win a few prizes on the show. I
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: enjoy hearing your take on local news and what's happening
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: around Brian College, Chaser. But I have a question that
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: might make an interesting topic for the show today.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Okay, I am.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Looking at purchasing a brand new Coco slash Coco truck,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: mini electric vehicle, a small enclosed electric utilta vehicle, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: try to determine whether this particular type of vehicle can
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: be legally titled and registered in Texas, specifically here in
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Brass County. Before spending several thousand dollars on one of
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: contacted the Brass County Taxes or Collectors Registration Title Office
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: and asked whether this exact type of vehicle can be
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: titled and registered in Texas. Emailed them the details and
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: I'm currently waiting for a response. There seems to be
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: quite a few of these being sold to Texas, but
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: it's not clear whether they can actually be titled and
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: registered for on road use.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: I don't want to buy one solely because what a
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: salesperson tells me and the Discover afterward, I can't get
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: a Texas title in registration. That would stink, Chris. No
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: one wants that. So here's my question. Has anyone in
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: the Brass Valley successfully titled and registered one of the
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Coco Mini trucks in Texas? And what does Texas actually
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: require for one of these vehicles to legally receive a
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: title in registration. I'd love to hear what you guys.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Thank Chris, thank you so much for listening, and thank
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: you for that text.
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: I did a little bit of research. I can hell
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: Dusty's doing some research over.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wanted to see what one look like because
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I've never heard of one. It's it's basically it's a
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: golf cart with a vehicle like exterior.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: That's the way I would describe it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: And based on again.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: I well, it's a truck or an suv. It's it's
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: a golf cart turned into either a truck or an suv.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know if any of the county people are up,
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: but if you guys want to chime in, feel free,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: I mean calls or text a nine seven, ninety six
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: nine sixteen twenty. It seems like you can register it,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: but it's a golf cart, like you register it as
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: a golf cart. I also am confused because it doesn't
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: look like they go that fast, Like I don't know
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: that you'd want to be taking it out on like
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: the regular street, because I think it tops out it
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: like golf cart speeds, unless a I'm wrong.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Top speed of twenty five miles per hour.
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: Now there is the possibility, according to the AI, that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Our boy Chris might be thinking he can mod this
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: device to maybe go a little bit faster. But that said,
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: the battery, the battery range I think is like eighty
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: miles like it. So it's it's basically a golf cart. Now,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: I will say this, why I see people driving golf
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: carts on the regular road now all the time I.
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: Was about to see the exact same thing. I see
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: it all over my neighborhood.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: It's all over the neighborhood.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: And you see, I'm not even There are some neighborhoods
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: where everyone has a golf cart, and I understand those
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Usually when you have an acre too, people want to
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: get back and forth to people's houses you know, whatever,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: you get a golf cart. I live in Copperfield, y'all.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: There is no rational reason to have a golf cart
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: in copper Field. There isn't a golf course in copper.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: Field, but there's one close.
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: There's one in Miramont.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: But they won't I was about to say, they won't
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: even let you across.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: They even let me walk on that golf course. Believe me,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: it's come up before. So yeah, I'm I'm a little
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: suspect on that. But all that said, if you have
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: any uh, if.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: You have any advice, please share it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: So it does have blinkers in a seatbelt.
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: That that says to me, there, you know. And again
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: it's enclosed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: It's enclosed.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: It looks like a tiny little truck.
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: I'm not gonna like it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: They could be beneficial on like game days here at
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: A and M.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Being serious, Where do you where do you park it?
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: Where do you do you?
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I mean you have to park it in regularly right
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: because it's it's you can't just drop it on the
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: side of the road. I mean, I'm sure you could
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: lock the door. That's helpful.
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: I mean by tailgating, you can just park it right
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: by your tent.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, just put it under the gym.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yeah, we've got some applications for this. As
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: long as we're talking about technology, do we wanna do
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: we want to have a moment to uh to hype
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: up the terrafat officially coming to How do we feel
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: about it?
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: Come on, I haven't heard about this.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I hate I'm going to tell you a wild story. Okay,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: You're going to enjoy this because what I'm going to
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: describe to you is in fact coming to the Brass Valley.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: You could use a golf cart and at that facility.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: That ain't gonna get it done. So yeah, yesterday confirmed
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: by everyone Abbott, Elon Musk SpaceX. Everyone said, hey, guess
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: what terrafab is happening. It's happening in Grimes County and
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Carlos Carlos, Yeah.
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: It's it. Here's the thing.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Explain to her what terrafab is going to accomplish, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: then I'll get into the what they do.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: They're going to build the AI chips for SpaceX for
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: theoretically the data servers, data servers that Elon Musk is
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: going to put in space.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all of the microchips they'll.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: End up going in Tesla's it's a part of SpaceX,
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: but it'll be integrated into Elon's companies and it is
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: going to be massive. Yeah.
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: Massive.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Is the thing that I wanted to talk about to
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: understand the size of Tesla and SpaceX is Terrifab. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: this is on my phone, but this is a comparison
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: to the test factory in Austin known as the Gigafactory.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: Which is huge.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Check it out there, that little sliver down there, that's
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: the Gigafactory.
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: The big thing is Terafab that it's like a star.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: Destroyer to that Super Star Destroyer they add in Star Wars.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: But here's a way that really drives it home for perspective.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: When Terrifab is fully complete, which again they're not saying
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: the twenty thirty six is when it would be in theory,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: if they go to all phases, if they go to
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: all phases, if they build everything that they want to build,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Terrifab will be two and.
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: A half miles long.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: That sounds like a lot, but it sounds like more
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: when you put it in proximity to the fact that
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: like that is the exact length of the entirety of
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: the Texas A and M Campus, both regular all campus
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: and when campus. The distance from Texas A and L
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: or Texas Avenue at the TAMU Insurance to twenty eight eighteen,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: just past the Bush Library. It's a single building that's
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: the size of Texas A and M University. Holy cow,
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: not impressed yet.
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: How about this.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Let's compare it to the largest structures ever engineered.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: One of those little things that you stand on with
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: the two wheels and you know, oh those are segue.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, surely you're gonna get a.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: Segment's one hundred million square feed about nine point three
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: square meters of space. Compared to the Boeing Factory, which
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: is previously one of the largest factories ever constructed. It's
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: seven times larger than that. It's ten times larger than
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: the Gigafactory. But it's more interesting. Fifteen pentagons. It's fifteen
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: pentagons worth of space. That's if it gets built out fully,
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: it would be the number one one floor area structure
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: in the world by enclosed volume, the largest structure ever
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: built by man by cost, one of the most expensive
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: industrial facilities ever built by man.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: And it's gonna be in Carlos.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: And wow, and we're going to be trapped between two
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: another large facility which is going into Rockdale.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so basically you're gonna have everyone building their tesla's
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: in Austin, everyone building their microchips for everywhere in Carlos,
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: and then this thing in.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: Rockdale and uh yeah, I believe that there. It's both
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: a data center and they're going to build the chips
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: for it, and that is uh oh, I forget the
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: name of Can.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: You imagine the amount of a robocar is going to
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: be going from like Austin to Carlos.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I just bought a bunch of land down in Robstown
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: and I don't know what he's building down there, but
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: he's building something else in that area. So I mean
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: he's got he's.
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: Taken over Texas, Yes he is.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Look because he's got SpaceX down there.
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Is, all of the things. But he had absolutely crazy
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: seventy seven times larger than the place where they build
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: all the air buses in France. Like, I mean, it's
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: it's by Yeah, it's the biggest building that's ever going
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: to be built. Wow, it is what they're saying if
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: they get all the way to completion, which we'll see
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: going to take a break back after this.
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: Good morning, I'm Riley blirk you with your morning sports update.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: On sixteen four five wta W.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: The A and M soccer team won their first exhibition
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: match against UIW, opening their season here in Agiland. Tomorrow,
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: the team will head down to Austin, Texas for the
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: first lone Star showdown of the season. Head coach Bobby
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: Shuttleworth shared thoughts ahead of this rivalry match Texas.
• 31:54
  Speaker 12: We added we're on the road the first three games
• 31:58
  Speaker 12: of the season, so I wanted to have a a
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: good opponent, a good road opponent in there, so that's
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: why we added Texas. So I think it's important obviously
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: get a game at home and get our feet under us,
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: and get a game against another team and then go
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: on the road and see what it's going to be
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: like for the first three games of the season. Yeah,
• 32:15
  Speaker 12: I mean, I know, obviously I'm new to this, but
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: know how that goes and the rivalry, and so I
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: think obviously anytime we play Texas, it's an important game.
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: But you know, for us, it's continuing to develop the
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: things that we're doing and making sure we're all getting
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: on the same page.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: Coach Shuttleworth also spoke about the communication and structure within
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: the team.
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: You know, we're just trying to stay as fluid as
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: we can in attack and making sure that those those
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: players are communicating. And you know, we don't want to
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: have a we don't want to be super structured. And
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: this player runs into this place, this player runs into
• 32:47
  Speaker 12: this space. We want to be able to pop up
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: in different places with different players, but they got to
• 32:51
  Speaker 12: communicate about that information.
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: The Mert and White will play tomorrow night on the
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: road in a contest against the Texas Longhorns, with the
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: start time of the game set for seven o'clock. The
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: Aggie football team is a couple of practices into ball
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: camp and is getting ready for the upcoming season. Head
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: coach Mike Elco talked about how he feels heading into
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: this season.
• 33:12
  Speaker 13: I think it's like it's like the start of what
• 33:15
  Speaker 13: you're what you're most looking forward to every year and
• 33:18
  Speaker 13: knowing that you know you're trying to formulate the strategy,
• 33:21
  Speaker 13: the plan, the vision for this version of Texas A
• 33:25
  Speaker 13: and M football, the twenty twenty six team to go
• 33:27
  Speaker 13: out and have the.
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: Most success that they can have. And but you also
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: know how how much that's going to change over the
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: next four months, right, and it's impossible to predict how
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: this journey is going to go. And so I think
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: there's obviously a level of excitement. There always has to be,
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: and there should be that's consistent year in and year out.
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, as we've started to build and
• 33:49
  Speaker 10: establish this thing, you know, there's consistency with what we're called.
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: There's an optimism and excitement about what we're capable of.
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: I think those things all are important, But there's also
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: so it's like kind of like, Okay, we're about to
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: start this long journey through a college football season, and
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: so you're just kind of mentally getting prepared and ready for.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: Coo Jelco also spoke about the challenges ahead of this
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: upcoming season.
• 34:15
  Speaker 10: I think one of the biggest challenges that this program
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: will have is what we'll about to embark on. And
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: that's what I said to our staff, and that's what
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: I'm going to say to our team tonight. This program
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: has had a really hard time doubling down on success.
• 34:29
  Speaker 10: That's our challenge, and that is a challenge and a
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: puzzle that has not been cracked here before. And so
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: I don't. There's not one piece of me that thinks
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: anything is going to be easier. I think this is
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: going to be the most challenging season that we've had.
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: We've got to replace a lot of talented players, We've
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: got to go to some really challenging places, and we've
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: got to have the same levels of success that we're
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: expecting as a program or that we've established as the
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: standard for this program. And so to me, all of
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: that creates what looks to me like the most challenging
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: season that we've had in the three.
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: Aggie football is officially one month out of hitting the
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: field on September fifth at Kyle Field at six o'clock
