- 6:24Speaker 6: we some of us used to be on the team,
- 6:26Speaker 6: some of us still on the team, and we all
- 6:27Speaker 6: read together. Yeah, I'm a fantasy romance, but more fantasy reader,
- 6:33Speaker 6: like I read all the Accord of Thorns and Roses books,
- 6:35Speaker 6: Throwing a Glass, the Fourth Wings, all of that, and
- 6:39Speaker 6: I'm in it for the plot, like I want to
- 6:41Speaker 6: see the fight, the war.

- 6:45Speaker 4: the story.
- 6:46Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, Well, all of my friends love reading the
- 6:50Speaker 6: dark romances, which are wild books.
- 6:53Speaker 5: What is dark? What is dark romance?

- 6:59Speaker 5: Of okay, a PG version of dark romance.
- 7:02Speaker 1: It's like, I think that's enough sense.
- 7:06Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't describe it on air.
- 7:11Speaker 4: So this is this is so your friends are into
- 7:13Speaker 4: this is this? This is what y'all, y'all go with
- 7:16Speaker 4: in the book club.
- 7:17Speaker 6: No, so I don't like reading dark romance because they
- 7:22Speaker 6: lose the plot of the whole book.
- 7:23Speaker 5: It turns into just the dark romance.
- 7:26Speaker 6: It turns into smut, is what She's much smut times
- 7:29Speaker 6: one thousands, And then you're then you're sitting here with
- 7:31Speaker 6: a commitment to have to make it through all this
- 7:34Speaker 6: s It sounds she.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Wants to put it down, but she just can't. She's
- 7:37Speaker 1: committed to Well.
- 7:38Speaker 5: It sounds like a smart action movie. It sounds like well,
- 7:41Speaker 5: how we.
- 7:42Speaker 6: Do it in this book club is we each get
- 7:44Speaker 6: to pick, like each of us get a month, like,
- 7:46Speaker 6: for instance, my month is August because it's my birthday.
- 7:49Speaker 7: I'm making them Marita, Corthoris and Roses.
- 7:51Speaker 6: The ones that haven't that's so they're reading and I'm
- 7:52Speaker 6: rereading it because the book comes out at the end
- 7:54Speaker 6: of the year. They all were like, well, we haven't
- 7:58Speaker 6: read Dark Romance because like there are two or three
- 8:00Speaker 6: of us in the book club are like opposed to
- 8:02Speaker 6: it because it's it's just there's no substance.
- 8:04Speaker 7: To them normally, right, Well, each of them.
- 8:08Speaker 6: There's like four books in this series, and we talk
- 8:10Speaker 6: about where we're at.
- 8:12Speaker 7: Everyone is way ahead of me. They are so far
- 8:15Speaker 7: ahead of.
- 8:15Speaker 5: They can get through this book fast enough.
- 8:18Speaker 6: Yes, well I made it to book three finally. They're
- 8:22Speaker 6: not long books, and they lost me halfway through.
- 8:28Speaker 4: She was we can't talk about the plot of these
- 8:30Speaker 4: all things because I was I was a little a
- 8:32Speaker 4: little spicy, and I thought to myself, these kids, man,
- 8:35Speaker 4: these utes they're out there today, they're just they're they're like,
- 8:38Speaker 4: what is going on? But I had actually seen something
- 8:41Speaker 4: earlier today. Did you know that you know obviously. Now bookstores,
- 8:46Speaker 4: it's kind of hard to be in the book game.
- 8:48Speaker 1: It's hard to Yeah, there's someone a comeback though, Yeah,
- 8:52Speaker 1: it's romance.
- 8:53Speaker 5: Romance novel stores like Whole.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Books are like they are specific.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Dedicated to just romance novels. They've launched three hundred.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Of these in the last six months nationwide. They're killing
- 9:08Speaker 4: it because they open their doors and then.
- 9:11Speaker 5: The youths just flood in. They can't read this stuff faster.
- 9:16Speaker 1: That's crazy. Well, I guess I'm glad they're reading that.
- 9:19Speaker 5: That is exactly whatever it takes. No, whatever it takes.
- 9:22Speaker 6: Yeah, but like, for instance, if you have kids that
- 9:24Speaker 6: are like seventeen and under, and make sure that says
- 9:27Speaker 6: y A on it, that's a young adult audience, Okay,
- 9:30Speaker 6: because believe me, if it doesn't say that and you
- 9:33Speaker 6: go outside that category, it goes.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Can you imagine just being excited to sit there they're like,
- 9:38Speaker 4: oh man, I'm so glad, I'm so glad my kids
- 9:40Speaker 4: are reading finally I didn't know.
- 9:44Speaker 5: No, wait, wait, why what is that dark romance? Now,
- 9:50Speaker 5: don't get the honesty. Wait a minute, that's probably not SAI.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Get back in front of the roadblocks. Nation in these books.
- 10:00Speaker 6: It's about eight rezology like Egyptian mythology, like that it
- 10:05Speaker 6: has a fantasy element to it, but like maybe a
- 10:08Speaker 6: page of it in out of the five hundred pages,
- 10:11Speaker 6: which dogs for freaks?
- 10:12Speaker 5: Man, I heard mythology? They you know, they were a problematic.

- 10:44Speaker 6: Riley, what do we have in bite an alien to
- 10:47Speaker 6: live with you today?
- 10:48Speaker 7: I bet someone can write a book about that.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Okay, I am sure that they have certain of it.
- 10:54Speaker 5: I'm sure they.
- 10:55Speaker 6: The idea of outsiders are the unknown visitors into our
- 10:58Speaker 6: lives with open arms.
- 10:59Speaker 7: I'm not with this holiday. I will not be celebrating, Okay,
- 11:03Speaker 7: all right.
- 11:04Speaker 6: It is Legal Drinking Age Day. It is the day
- 11:08Speaker 6: that President Ronald Reagan signed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Holy cow, Yeah, I was. I was just before that.
- 11:17Speaker 4: This is this is my like, so I would not
- 11:20Speaker 4: remember this. What did it used to be before eighteen?
- 11:22Speaker 5: It was eighteen?
- 11:23Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they threatened to take away highway funds,
- 11:28Speaker 1: federal highway funds. The states that did not go to
- 11:31Speaker 1: twenty one. Louisiana fought it for a long time, which
- 11:34Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why it is such a
- 11:37Speaker 1: horrible place to drive. Really. Yeah, really they lost, they
- 11:40Speaker 1: lost a long period of highway.
- 11:42Speaker 5: They were really going to die on that hill.
- 11:44Speaker 1: I'm I'm not certain that that was the only cause.
- 11:47Speaker 1: I mean, it is Louisiana.
- 11:49Speaker 5: It's they money tends to disappear in Louisiana.
- 11:52Speaker 1: But that's that's what initially caused sort of the downfall
- 11:56Speaker 1: at that point in time. I was probably about fourteen
- 11:59Speaker 1: or fifteen when that was enacted, so I was. I
- 12:02Speaker 1: was not quite eighteen yet, so I didn't get to
- 12:05Speaker 1: take advantage of it.
- 12:06Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I do know a lot of people that
- 12:08Speaker 6: came over for the World Cup were really you know,
- 12:10Speaker 6: they didn't know much about us when there, so do
- 12:12Speaker 6: they gotta be twenty one and up?
- 12:13Speaker 7: Everyone's like what.
- 12:14Speaker 6: That you have to be eighteen. We're like the only
- 12:16Speaker 6: place in the world we have to be twenty one.
- 12:18Speaker 1: When I went to England when I was sixteen, England
- 12:21Speaker 1: and Scotland went on a garden tour with my father
- 12:24Speaker 1: and I will remember the drinking age was can you
- 12:27Speaker 1: see over the bar?
- 12:28Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, but that's how that.
- 12:32Speaker 4: Then most of the world, like most or most of
- 12:34Speaker 4: the Western world, Yeah, we're kind of the we're kind
- 12:37Speaker 4: of the late, the you know, the last ones to
- 12:40Speaker 4: clear that hurdle.
- 12:41Speaker 5: But then again, can you imagine being nineteen and traveling
- 12:45Speaker 5: over to the United States from one of these countries for.
- 12:48Speaker 1: The World Cup and all of a sudden you're expected, Well.
- 12:51Speaker 4: It's probably best that you were. You don't need to
- 12:54Speaker 4: be party rocking that hard. We're in a foreign land.
- 12:56Speaker 1: I don't know, man, some of these folks party rocked
- 12:58Speaker 1: pretty dang Haric.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Rank us out of house and home. Yeah, so maybe
- 13:02Speaker 4: you know exactly what they're doing.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're conditioned.
- 13:06Speaker 5: Well, excellent.
- 13:07Speaker 7: It's also be Someone Day.
- 13:09Speaker 6: It is it is created to inspire individuals, especially kids
- 13:13Speaker 6: and young adults, make a positive impact in their community.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Also, the Second Fame, the Second most famous little underpass
- 13:19Speaker 4: thing in the city of Houston. You know what the
- 13:21Speaker 4: first is? No, there is an well I should know
- 13:24Speaker 4: that the location of this. It's near downtown. There is
- 13:27Speaker 4: a bridge in Houston that has been hit by vehicles
- 13:32Speaker 4: like twenty times in the last year.
- 13:35Speaker 5: Basically, it's just.
- 13:37Speaker 4: It's just a little bit low and everyone should know
- 13:40Speaker 4: about it. But regardless, about once twice every month an
- 13:45Speaker 4: eighteen wheeler will plow into this, okay, and it has
- 13:48Speaker 4: become the most famous bridge in the city.
- 13:51Speaker 5: We will find it, will it is intrigued.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm also wondering how we got to bridges?
- 13:55Speaker 5: Did I?
- 13:56Speaker 1: Did I pass out for a second?
- 13:57Speaker 5: Oh no, you don't know about to be someone the.
- 14:00Speaker 1: No, okay, Yeah, you see I skipped that secuitor and
- 14:04Speaker 1: I was like, is Tucker having a stroke?
- 14:06Speaker 5: Oh no, I was a.
- 14:07Speaker 7: Little confused too.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Up with you will like, I don't know.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Where we went to walk you through it, Riley said.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Riley said, be someone. I thought about the b Someone bridge,
- 14:17Speaker 4: and then I thought to myself, Oh man, I wonder
- 14:19Speaker 4: how many more people have hit that stupid other bridge
- 14:23Speaker 4: since I have left the city of Houston. The answer
- 14:26Speaker 4: is probably quite a lot. Never mind, Happy be someone Day.
- 14:30Speaker 1: There we go.
- 14:31Speaker 7: It's also junk food Day.
- 14:34Speaker 6: It's a guilty free haul path day to enjoy your

- 14:42Speaker 6: So I found this one to be interesting. It is
- 14:44Speaker 6: Tug a War Tournament Day. It celebrates the one of
- 14:47Speaker 6: humanity's oldest tests of team strength and conditioning. Tug war
- 14:51Speaker 6: was actually the official Olympic sport from nineteen hundred to
- 14:55Speaker 6: nineteen twenty. Today, it encourages pulling together with friends or
- 15:00Speaker 6: co workers for friendly competition.
- 15:02Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind seeing that one come back in the
- 15:04Speaker 4: in the old Olympic Games.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, beat some of the stuff they're putting
- 15:09Speaker 1: out there these days.

- 15:50Speaker 4: thank god, we're getting that kind.

- 16:40Speaker 4: look over on the couch and there is there is
- 16:42Speaker 4: a monkey.

- 16:49Speaker 4: knew a guy and this monkey. He's like, oh, I
- 16:52Speaker 4: just you know.

- 17:01Speaker 4: it's going to be a problem one day. He still
- 17:03Speaker 4: has that monkey, but he every day, every time I
- 17:06Speaker 4: talk to him, he's like, there's some other story about
- 17:08Speaker 4: what this monkey has gotten.
- 17:09Speaker 1: See. I don't need that kind of complication.
- 17:12Speaker 5: I looked at it. I can't. I don't like primates.
- 17:14Speaker 5: I look in their eyes and it's.
- 17:15Speaker 4: Like, oh, it's just too close.

- 25:16Speaker 4: Talking about low hanging bridges because of I don't know, squirrel.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Yeah, you're add kicked in.
- 25:22Speaker 5: It's the Houston Avenue Bridge.
- 25:24Speaker 1: The Houston Avenue.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Houston Avenue Bridge near Houston's notorious being struck by overweight heights,
- 25:29Speaker 4: semi trucks, and oversized vehicles. The bridge has low clearance
- 25:32Speaker 4: of just fourteen feet and three inches, which is apparently
- 25:35Speaker 4: too low. Tankers will hit it and slow down traffic
- 25:37Speaker 4: for days.
- 25:38Speaker 7: I have questions about this. So we were also talking
- 25:40Speaker 7: at your.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Love, Yeah, because when he talked about that, it brought
- 25:44Speaker 1: me back to those dark days. I think it was
- 25:46Speaker 1: during the pandemic that I was. I was searching to
- 25:50Speaker 1: the ends of the Internet and I found eleven foot
- 25:53Speaker 1: eight Bridge, and that's a website. You can go there
- 25:56Speaker 1: eleven foot eight Bridge.
- 25:57Speaker 5: I had never heard about this.
- 25:58Speaker 1: It is all. It's a bridge somewhere I can't remember.
- 26:02Speaker 1: It's on the East coast someplace, and it just peels
- 26:05Speaker 1: the tops off of all kinds of trucks.
- 26:07Speaker 5: It's the best.
- 26:08Speaker 4: It's just an archive of people driving under this bridge
- 26:13Speaker 4: which is just a few inches too short and getting
- 26:16Speaker 4: a little bit of a haircakee.
- 26:17Speaker 1: And it's well marked. It's well marked there. There are
- 26:21Speaker 1: there are height sensors that will tell you you are
- 26:25Speaker 1: too tall to drive in here, and yet people don't care.
- 26:29Speaker 1: They still just I mean, it'll take the top right
- 26:31Speaker 1: off of moving truck. It's so fun to wak.
- 26:34Speaker 4: My favorite part about this is because it's one of
- 26:35Speaker 4: those I mean, you know, the small town old bridges,
- 26:38Speaker 4: railroad bridges, whatever, so you're not getting up to a
- 26:40Speaker 4: high enough rate of speed to really impact anything except
- 26:43Speaker 4: just like taking a can.
- 26:44Speaker 1: But yeah, top, it's a really nice close shave.
- 26:48Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's very pleasing to observe.
- 26:51Speaker 6: So when it comes to all of these bridges we're
- 26:53Speaker 6: talking about these, I know that obviously these trucks get hit.
- 26:56Speaker 7: Do they not create cracks in the foundation?
- 27:00Speaker 1: Yeah, there was one that was hit not too long
- 27:02Speaker 1: ago down here at Fitch and six.
- 27:05Speaker 5: They always have to do.
- 27:07Speaker 4: Yet twenty one bridge over on your way to Austin,
- 27:10Speaker 4: that one got hit and then it took him like
- 27:12Speaker 4: a month to go back and like, okay, is this
- 27:13Speaker 4: structurally sound?
- 27:15Speaker 1: And yeah, I think there was one in Brian last year,
- 27:18Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Two. Yeah, it happens all
- 27:20Speaker 1: the time. And people who have oversized loads are supposed
- 27:25Speaker 1: to be cognizant of that sort of thing, supposed to
- 27:27Speaker 1: be supposed to be.
- 27:28Speaker 4: Supposed to be talking about something else. We're watching will
- 27:31Speaker 4: oh yes, yesterday.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Yep, the new season. Yesterday dropped of King of the
- 27:39Speaker 1: Hill on the Hulu and I'm eight episodes in.
- 27:43Speaker 5: So I'm I'm I think of a few others six
- 27:45Speaker 5: in Why is it so good?
- 27:48Speaker 1: It hits man, why is it so? And I think
- 27:51Speaker 1: this season is better than the first new season last year.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Some of the review I've been trying to avoid, honestly
- 27:59Speaker 4: jumping online because I I don't want to know anything
- 28:03Speaker 4: about the rest of the season until I get that.
- 28:05Speaker 4: I just want to enjoy it. But I have seen
- 28:08Speaker 4: a couple of the reviews and people are not only
- 28:11Speaker 4: saying oh yeah, it's good series, saying it's the best
- 28:12Speaker 4: season possibly ever.
- 28:14Speaker 1: I think it's it has that it belongs in that discussion,
- 28:17Speaker 1: like that is crazy. It is so good. They got
- 28:19Speaker 1: their legs back under them. Still. I mean, there's a
- 28:22Speaker 1: couple of things that tweak me a little bit. Dale's
- 28:24Speaker 1: voice isn't quite.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Right because to different Dale. Yeah, you can do about that.
- 28:28Speaker 1: And the voice of Kwan Kan.
- 28:32Speaker 5: They they wanted to replace him as well, And I
- 28:36Speaker 5: forget the read. There was a reason they had. I
- 28:38Speaker 5: don't remember what it was.
- 28:39Speaker 1: But those two are just slightly off. Yeah, and and
- 28:42Speaker 1: and but I can overlook that. The content, the writing
- 28:46Speaker 1: so solid on this.
- 28:47Speaker 4: It's it gets you emotional, it does, it's a car
- 28:50Speaker 4: to it. I don't know why it hits the way
- 28:53Speaker 4: it does, but I think I think, I think we've
- 28:56Speaker 4: said this before.
- 28:57Speaker 5: King of the Hill.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Part of it is because it such a Texas thing,
- 29:02Speaker 4: and we all have one Hank Hill that we know, right,
- 29:05Speaker 4: and we all probably have a Dale Gribble that we
- 29:07Speaker 4: know just there. The characters are too close to everyone's
- 29:11Speaker 4: real life here.
- 29:13Speaker 1: That's because he developed those characters by people, because it's.
- 29:17Speaker 5: It's people he met.
- 29:19Speaker 4: But yeah, if you haven't seen it, good, Lord, it's good.
- 29:23Speaker 4: It's so stinking good, and.
- 29:25Speaker 1: It's not going to change your life. Don't let us
- 29:27Speaker 1: overshoot that, but it is.
- 29:29Speaker 8: Lord.
- 29:29Speaker 5: If you're expecting the Hill change your life. I don't
- 29:31Speaker 5: know what to tell you.
- 29:32Speaker 6: Well, I don't know anything about this show.
- 29:35Speaker 1: You only have fourteen season seasons to catch up.
- 29:38Speaker 4: And all of them are available on Hulu if you
- 29:39Speaker 4: want to start it's it's a great show. I'll be
- 29:42Speaker 4: real It's greater than all the shows on this Netflix list.
- 29:45Speaker 4: You've seen this, Oh my god. First of all, the
- 29:47Speaker 4: big thing about this is I the shows. I don't
- 29:49Speaker 4: really know if these are the best shows on Netflix
- 29:51Speaker 4: over them, or even the most watched shows on Netflix
- 29:54Speaker 4: over the last four years. All I know is the
- 29:56Speaker 4: numbers don't make sense, and I want to roll through
- 29:58Speaker 4: a few of them.
- 29:59Speaker 5: Let's go. I'm just going to go through.
- 30:01Speaker 4: The top ten. This is according to Netflix data. They
- 30:04Speaker 4: say these are their most watched shows. Number ten Pepa

- 30:39Speaker 4: Stranger Things season one, one hundred and twenty seven point

- 31:29Speaker 5: The soundtrack was so good for season one. Oh my,
- 31:31Speaker 5: it was so good.

- 31:34Speaker 4: like chamber instruments until you're kind of it's a thing.
- 31:37Speaker 4: Here's why I want to get to the top show
- 31:40Speaker 4: in Netflix. Squid Game season two ready for. What do

- 31:51Speaker 1: now a global company. Oh yeah, you're right right, So
- 31:55Speaker 1: they have those deals with other nations. That's why you're
- 31:58Speaker 1: getting so much of the subtitled yeah yeah, and you're
- 32:01Speaker 1: getting so much of the of the British content there.
- 32:05Speaker 1: So I can see why at this number, because I
- 32:07Speaker 1: have it in front of me, is so shocking.
- 32:09Speaker 7: I don't have a guess what two hundred million you're.
- 32:12Speaker 1: You're just under two hundred and twenty five point four million.

- 32:44Speaker 6: Good morning, I'm Riley Flerk you with your morning sports
- 32:47Speaker 6: off Day. On sixteen twenty ninety four five WTA W
- 32:51Speaker 6: in the MLB. Last night, Houston Astros Jeremy Pina hit
- 32:55Speaker 6: a grand slam in Jordan Alvarez homer twice as the
- 32:58Speaker 6: Houston Astro snap a four game losing streak with a
- 33:01Speaker 6: eight to five win over the Miami Marlins. Chicago White
- 33:06Speaker 6: Sox Andrew Benin Tindi hit a go ahead three run
- 33:09Speaker 6: double that chase Texas Rangers started Jacob du Grom in
- 33:12Speaker 6: the fifth inning as the White Sox beat the Rangers
- 33:16Speaker 6: ten to three. Rangers manager Skiped Schumacher recaped the game.
- 33:20Speaker 7: We faced a.
- 33:21Speaker 11: Tough Braves team that gathered a lot of tough at
- 33:23Speaker 11: bats against us. We just couldn't contain them.
- 33:25Speaker 1: And then we came into here and probably.
- 33:28Speaker 11: A couple misslocation pitches tonight that cost us some runs.
- 33:32Speaker 11: De Grom was got out of a jam first inning,
- 33:35Speaker 11: was looking good last couple winnings after that, and then
- 33:37Speaker 11: just the other teams have capitalized on some mistake pitches
- 33:41Speaker 11: and so the crooked numbers have costed us the last
- 33:43Speaker 11: couple of games, and we just haven't been able to
- 33:46Speaker 11: catch up win a game.
- 33:47Speaker 5: That's how you get back on track.
- 33:50Speaker 6: Last Friday Deer in the Open Championship, Bryson Deshamba was
- 33:53Speaker 6: doc two shots in the open four penalty on the
- 33:56Speaker 6: fifth hole. The RNA assessed Bryson a two stroke pinnal
- 34:00Speaker 6: following his second round in the one hundred and fifty
- 34:02Speaker 6: fourth Open Championship for improving the area of his intended swing.
- 34:07Speaker 6: Bryson had moved into solo second at seven under, one
- 34:10Speaker 6: shot behind the leader Lucas Herbert, after carding a four
- 34:14Speaker 6: under sixty six. The RNA's Executive Director of Governance said
- 34:18Speaker 6: in a statement that Bryson was penalized two strokes for
- 34:22Speaker 6: inadvertently improving the area of his intended swing so intended
- 34:26Speaker 6: backswing on the fifth hole when he was playing his
- 34:29Speaker 6: second shot. The statement added, an improvement means to alter
- 34:32Speaker 6: one or more of the conditions affecting the stroke so
- 34:35Speaker 6: that the player gains potential advantage for the stroke now.
- 34:39Speaker 6: They stressed that this applies even when the action was accidental,
- 34:42Speaker 6: as it was in Bryson's case. The situation caused lots
- 34:46Speaker 6: of controversy, with many goffers coming to Bryson's defense, while
- 34:50Speaker 6: others not so much. Scottie Shuffler shut down Bryson's cheating claims,
- 34:55Speaker 6: oh shake.
- 34:56Speaker 8: The rest of it is like Bryson, I've got him
- 34:58Speaker 8: for a long time. His lot baks, but he's definitely
- 35:01Speaker 8: not a cheater. I've never seen Chief once where they
- 35:03Speaker 8: were having a funny contest on a funny green or
- 35:05Speaker 8: hippy contest, or anytime we played amaty golf. I never
- 35:08Speaker 8: saw anything suspicious. But when you're watching him there from
- 35:11Speaker 8: that camera Angele, you know, maybe he was a touch
- 35:14Speaker 8: careless round as well, but I don't think he did
- 35:16Speaker 8: anything intentionally.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Man.
- 35:19Speaker 8: You know, we've seen penalties happen with like you know,
- 35:25Speaker 8: you remember John Rob a couple of years ago at
- 35:27Speaker 8: the Memorial when his ball moved into rough and it's like,
- 35:30Speaker 8: to the naked eye, can you really tell that?
- 35:32Speaker 6: Despite the wild weekend at the Open Championship yesterday, Ryan
- 35:36Speaker 6: Fox won the final round of the event. Fox commented
- 35:40Speaker 6: on his first ever win in the Open surreal.
- 35:43Speaker 12: To be honest, I don't. I mean, it's something you
- 35:47Speaker 12: dream of. You know. I used to get up in
- 35:50Speaker 12: the middle of the night to watch this tournament back home,
- 35:54Speaker 12: and you know, it was always something that was there.
- 35:56Speaker 12: Just to be able to play in it first up
- 35:58Speaker 12: and now to be an Open champion, to be the
- 36:02Speaker 12: champion golf for the year, It's unbelievable, surreal, crazy, I
- 36:06Speaker 12: don't I don't have enough words of mother. They cablary
- 36:08Speaker 12: do it, explain it.
- 36:09Speaker 11: To be honest.
