Speaker 7: It's a snake farm and family zoo.
5:49
Speaker 6: Now it's not quite as sketchy as it used to be,
5:51
Speaker 6: but that's unfortunate.
5:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, really the best. So what did you guys get
6:02
Speaker 7: up to you last night? Anything exciting, anything fun?
6:05
Speaker 1: Cool?
6:06
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I know we talked about your dog chasing.
6:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to go to Huntspale yesterday and take
6:10
Speaker 1: the truck in back to the dealership. It just those
6:13
Speaker 1: a little noise coming out of the front end on
6:15
Speaker 1: slow speed left right turns, so just having them checking
6:18
Speaker 1: it out, right, So I went over there and had
6:20
Speaker 1: lunch with my friend who is at the dealership, and
6:23
Speaker 1: then drove back and then got into the anti dog
6:25
Speaker 1: chase and then I laid down for a while, okay,
6:28
Speaker 1: and I got I got a super siesta yesterday afternoon.
6:31
Speaker 7: That's a good thing.
6:32
Speaker 1: I know.
6:32
Speaker 6: You obviously read the news, so you are very very
6:35
Speaker 6: well aware about the median the median situation which evolved yesterday, Riley,
6:39
Speaker 6: are you have you been paying attention to any of this?
6:42
Speaker 8: Honestly, I just wait for y'all to tell me about it,
6:46
Speaker 8: because regardless I'm gonna hear about.
6:47
Speaker 1: It, what most people do, I'm here's my thing with it.
6:52
Speaker 8: It may to some people be considered it inconvenience, but
6:55
Speaker 8: I've also seen how it's been a convenience in the
6:58
Speaker 8: matter of have you seen.
6:59
Speaker 9: How some people drive in this town.
7:01
Speaker 7: While saying no? I think that is the ultimate debate.
7:06
Speaker 7: The bottom line.
7:07
Speaker 1: Though, safety versus business.
7:09
Speaker 6: Safety versus sanity, right, safety versus your sanity, whether it's
7:14
Speaker 6: a business owner, whether it's me trying to turn into
7:16
Speaker 6: my my ancestral home in North oak Wood without having
7:23
Speaker 6: to go all the way around, little things like that.
7:27
Speaker 6: But now we get to decide it kind of on
7:30
Speaker 6: a ballot.
7:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm say kind.
7:32
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it counts well, so they it's on
7:36
Speaker 1: the ballot. If from what I understand, if it is
7:40
Speaker 1: eventually voted to remove the medians, then that cost is
7:44
Speaker 1: on the taxpayers of the City of Bryan.
7:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're gonna pay for it, And.
7:48
Speaker 1: I think it costs more to remove a median than
7:50
Speaker 1: it does to install a media. I knew.
7:52
Speaker 6: I know there's a number out there that exists, and
7:57
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. I want to say I'm going to
7:59
Speaker 6: get it wrong number one. But we will dig in
8:01
Speaker 6: and we will find the actual number.
8:04
Speaker 1: I want say.
8:05
Speaker 6: It was always something like four million, maybe maybe more
8:08
Speaker 6: five million, so I don't.
8:09
Speaker 1: Recall it was. It was a sizable fee.
8:11
Speaker 6: Here's the thing. I think we should just make a
8:14
Speaker 6: gofund me for this sucker. Hey, I'm dead serious, because
8:17
Speaker 6: we all know it's gonna pass.
8:19
Speaker 1: It's gonna offset some of the costs.
8:21
Speaker 6: We know it's going to pass, right, I mean, are
8:23
Speaker 6: we in doubt that it's going to pass?
8:24
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the people have clearly spoken.
8:27
Speaker 7: Is there anyone that is going to vote?
8:29
Speaker 6: Is there anyone who's going to walk into the voting
8:31
Speaker 6: booth and say no, I want to keep the medians,
8:34
Speaker 6: honest question, and I'm not being critical about it. There
8:37
Speaker 6: are a lot of reasons why you might feel that way.
8:39
Speaker 6: Is there anyone that's actually planning on doing that? Because
8:42
Speaker 6: the only people I've ever heard of people like you
8:44
Speaker 6: tear those things up, and you tear them them.
8:45
Speaker 3: Now.
8:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't heard anybody that's come out and gone,
8:48
Speaker 1: you know for the Medians.
8:50
Speaker 9: See, here's my thing. And I'm only going to say
8:51
Speaker 9: it like this. I'm not saying we.
8:53
Speaker 8: Shouldn't take them out, but if we do, I am
8:59
Speaker 8: afraid of how anymore carrecks there are going to be.
9:01
Speaker 8: Because I have and this is from personal experience, just
9:04
Speaker 8: and I just came out of college. I have lots
9:05
Speaker 8: of friends and I know lots of people in this
9:07
Speaker 8: world that are like, I'm gonna send it and I'm
9:09
Speaker 8: going to.
9:10
Speaker 9: Go right across the road, good luck to everybody else.
9:13
Speaker 8: And I'm afraid there's gonna be a lot of instances
9:15
Speaker 8: where people are like, well, I don't want to sit
9:17
Speaker 8: in this traffic and have to wait five minutes for
9:18
Speaker 8: people drive down Texas Avenue and they're gonna whip it
9:21
Speaker 8: right in front of someone and cause rex Field, that's
9:23
Speaker 8: my only fear in all this because college kids, and
9:27
Speaker 8: I'm not trying to be rude, college kids and high
9:28
Speaker 8: school kids don't know how to try Riley.
9:31
Speaker 6: College kids are going to Brian either that And where
9:35
Speaker 6: was the issue?
9:35
Speaker 8: Texas Avenue and that's used all the time right there
9:38
Speaker 8: by north Gate.
9:39
Speaker 1: Where was the issue. I mean, the the medians were
9:41
Speaker 1: not put in because there was some rash of crashes
9:45
Speaker 1: on Texas Avenue. Now I mean, I mean, unless I'm wrong,
9:49
Speaker 1: I don't know that there was a huge problem with that.
9:52
Speaker 1: I mean there were incidents, yeah.
9:54
Speaker 10: I mean if you get res But like like I said,
9:56
Speaker 10: unless I'm just missing the constant stream of fatalities and
10:02
Speaker 10: and and grotesque injuries that happened on that stretch of road,
10:05
Speaker 10: I don't remember seeing.
10:07
Speaker 6: I don't remember any of them. No, I don't remember them.
10:09
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I remember everyone just driving and then turning
10:14
Speaker 6: where they wanted to turn where they needed to take
10:16
Speaker 6: Because I'll just say again, you know, people don't want
10:18
Speaker 6: to get into a crash. A crash is the bad
10:21
Speaker 6: thing you were. You were incentivized to not do that
10:25
Speaker 6: by not dying. So usually you think, okay, can I
10:29
Speaker 6: can I turn here?
10:30
Speaker 1: Who know?
10:30
Speaker 7: I again? Do people how man? All the time?
10:33
Speaker 1: Know how many more?
10:34
Speaker 7: Like most of the time they did?
10:35
Speaker 1: How many more accidents are caused by somebody getting frustrated
10:39
Speaker 1: that they can't make the turn where they want to,
10:42
Speaker 1: So the blood pressure goes up a little bit, go
10:44
Speaker 1: on tilt, they go on tilt, they finally find some
10:47
Speaker 1: place to pull the UI and it's you know.
10:50
Speaker 6: I'm serious. I'm looking for the one. I'm legitimately looking
10:53
Speaker 6: for the one person to call in and explain to
10:57
Speaker 6: me why.
10:58
Speaker 1: Let's say you are going to we could have an
11:01
Speaker 1: informal vote.
11:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, I know.
11:04
Speaker 6: If I just say what's your vote, I understand. I
11:07
Speaker 6: know what I'm going to see over there, right, and
11:08
Speaker 6: if you want Texas to do that, and I'm stopping
11:10
Speaker 6: you nine seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty. I
11:12
Speaker 6: want to find the person that is.
11:14
Speaker 1: Going to vote.
11:14
Speaker 6: No, That's who I want to talk to. And I'm
11:18
Speaker 6: not gonna argue with you. I just want to know
11:20
Speaker 6: that you exist, because I don't think you do.
11:24
Speaker 7: A couple of people have texted.
11:25
Speaker 6: The only thing they're mad about is that you have
11:28
Speaker 6: to be and you have to be a Brian resident
11:30
Speaker 6: to vote. A lot of college station people want these
11:32
Speaker 6: things gone too, but they can't do anything right.
11:34
Speaker 1: That's uh, their citizens in college station that are looking
11:37
Speaker 1: at this going please succeed. Yeah, because number one, we
11:41
Speaker 1: want to be able to drive where we want. The
11:42
Speaker 1: number two Jose's number two. I want this, tell self,
11:46
Speaker 1: I want yes, yes.
11:48
Speaker 8: My only, my only piece and all this that is,
11:51
Speaker 8: if we were able to get them removed, please pick
11:54
Speaker 8: a good time of the year and an actual crew
11:57
Speaker 8: that's going to get it done in a good.
11:59
Speaker 9: Timely man, because traffic it's already bad.
12:03
Speaker 7: Now.
12:03
Speaker 9: Don't do it during the beginning of a school year.
12:06
Speaker 6: But believe me, the GoFundMe idea has been in my
12:09
Speaker 6: mind for a second. We might be doing this because
12:12
Speaker 6: someone's gonna start throwing out the price tag and Adam Ryan.
12:15
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the next thing. But okay, you want this,
12:17
Speaker 1: this is what it's gonna lost.
12:18
Speaker 7: Yolo, take my money and get these things gone.
12:21
Speaker 1: Well you live in the city of Brian, Brian, you
12:24
Speaker 1: can do.
12:24
Speaker 7: That, all right.
12:25
Speaker 6: But yeah, if you want to chime in nine of nine, six,
12:27
Speaker 6: sixteen twenty, we will be back right after that.
12:30
Speaker 7: Ninety four to five.
12:31
Speaker 1: W W.
12:32
Speaker 6: Hellen asks anyone asks the first responders what they think
12:34
Speaker 6: about these things with fire trucks and everything. I think
12:36
Speaker 6: that's come up. Yeah, it has a big I think
12:38
Speaker 6: that's a big part of this.
12:40
Speaker 1: And I think, uh, I think the casual comment from
12:43
Speaker 1: your every day first responder would be yeah, we don't
12:46
Speaker 1: want them. However, I think that from the brass you
12:49
Speaker 1: might get a different you know, they yeah, there's Real
12:52
Speaker 1: may have been encouraged to support I don't.
12:54
Speaker 7: Know Joan text.
12:56
Speaker 6: And never forget the big casualty in the media and
12:59
Speaker 6: installly was the death of the BCS Christmas Parade, or
13:03
Speaker 6: at least as we knew it at the time, that
13:05
Speaker 6: was absolutely true. You can't you can't have a Christmas
13:08
Speaker 6: parade if you can't drive down the middle of Texas Avenue.
13:12
Speaker 7: Wompom.
13:14
Speaker 1: So we do have somebody. Joshua said, I vote no
13:17
Speaker 1: no to Real. Okay, all right, the Medians, but they're
13:21
Speaker 1: already installed and it would be such a waste of money.
13:24
Speaker 1: I think that that is a very valid point.
13:26
Speaker 7: I buy that.
13:27
Speaker 6: I and again, like like I said, this is why
13:30
Speaker 6: what's going to be critical is we're gonna have to
13:32
Speaker 6: do a GoFundMe for this. This We're gonna have to
13:35
Speaker 6: do it. Everyone's gonna have to pitch in a couple
13:37
Speaker 6: of bucks, y'all.
13:38
Speaker 7: We got a big audience.
13:40
Speaker 6: Again, I'm not some of you, some of you have
13:42
Speaker 6: a grudge against these things. I know you might need
13:46
Speaker 6: to throw some money into a pot because yeah, it's
13:49
Speaker 6: gonna be existent.
13:50
Speaker 1: There's some people in our area that that probably have
13:54
Speaker 1: the equipment. Just turn them loose, Just get a good
13:57
Speaker 1: old boy, get a boy with a dozer call.
14:00
Speaker 6: There's there's a couple of guys that have the equipment
14:02
Speaker 6: that can just drive.
14:03
Speaker 7: Surely you can just drop a plate and then just
14:05
Speaker 7: you know, yeah them up.
14:07
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the recommended method of removal,
14:10
Speaker 1: but it would get the job.
14:11
Speaker 7: I care about. Yeah, I'm a big get the job
14:14
Speaker 7: done person.
14:14
Speaker 6: It's you know, I'll take a couple of bumps in
14:17
Speaker 6: the road, but you just to see what we can do.
14:20
Speaker 9: My piece of.
14:20
Speaker 8: Also is that, oh yeah, if they were to do
14:23
Speaker 8: it more construction.
14:25
Speaker 7: There's so tired of construction.
14:28
Speaker 9: And I know that we have.
14:29
Speaker 6: It's obviously necessary, and we're never getting out of it either.
14:32
Speaker 7: Lets not forget that.
14:33
Speaker 8: It's one of those things that it's like, we have
14:35
Speaker 8: multiple projects going on right now, let's get those done,
14:38
Speaker 8: get all that handled, and let's move on to the next.
14:40
Speaker 9: Let's quit adding more and more and more.
14:42
Speaker 8: Because all it's doing is causing more chaos in the communities.
14:46
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta you gotta keep this stuff, right. Yeah. Uh,
14:49
Speaker 1: and I know we're in the midst of this big
14:51
Speaker 1: six project. Right. As soon as the terofab stuff gets
14:55
Speaker 1: going and the eye the I fourteen and two fourteen, the.
15:00

15:10

15:13
Speaker 7: Another person texting.
15:15
Speaker 1: In that he would vote down. Uh.
15:17
Speaker 6: They are pulling out the Medians because his crashes are down. Yeah,
15:21
Speaker 6: you know, not as many people getting in getting in
15:23
Speaker 6: wrecks as you know. That's that does it for him.
15:27
Speaker 7: Uh, let's see. Uh yeah, and then and then more
15:31
Speaker 7: people again.
15:31
Speaker 1: I get.
15:32
Speaker 7: I get that it's going to be a popular thing
15:34
Speaker 7: to vote yes to.
15:35
Speaker 1: Right.
15:35
Speaker 6: I am very interested to hear from the people if
15:40
Speaker 6: they again, if there's two of them or three of them,
15:42
Speaker 6: they're this game is gonna it's going to pass, and
15:45
Speaker 6: it it's gonna be a landslide based on how everyone
15:49
Speaker 6: complains about these things.
15:50
Speaker 1: I'm my my theory, my fortune that I'm looking into
15:54
Speaker 1: the crystal ball and looking at here. It's gonna pass.
15:57
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a landslide and then they're gonna come
16:00
Speaker 1: out with what it's gonna cost. Right. I don't think
16:03
Speaker 1: that the Medians ever get removed.
16:06
Speaker 7: It's very possible.
16:07
Speaker 8: Here's my question though, even if they do vote this
16:09
Speaker 8: and say, hey, we want them gone, can Brian even
16:13
Speaker 8: go like they have to go to people above them?
16:15
Speaker 9: Correct in order to.
16:16
Speaker 1: There will be so much rat and layers and everything
16:21
Speaker 1: else on top of the cost that Again, I think,
16:24
Speaker 1: I think that it does not get done.
16:26
Speaker 8: This is one of those things that it's kind of like,
16:28
Speaker 8: oh well, let's open the opportunity of something that's never
16:31
Speaker 8: gonna happen, honestly, is what it feels like.
16:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's that's that's.
16:36
Speaker 1: The You remember the guy the issue, right if they
16:39
Speaker 1: put him in. You remember the guy the gun out
16:41
Speaker 1: there and was trying to break up the Medians with
16:42
Speaker 1: sledge hammer.
16:43
Speaker 7: He tried to he tried to take matters into his.
16:45
Speaker 1: Own hands, right, and he didn't have the right tool
16:47
Speaker 1: for the job he did. It's gonna take a long
16:49
Speaker 1: time with a single sledgehammer and one guy to take
16:51
Speaker 1: out the Medians. However, did he get like arrested or something?
16:54
Speaker 1: Did he get some legal trouble for that.
16:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, because you can't. You can't.
16:57
Speaker 6: You can't just start swinging on on public perty like
17:01
Speaker 6: it or not, it's going to be I.
17:02
Speaker 1: Think I'm thinking you want to bring up a GoFundMe
17:04
Speaker 1: for his legal defense. Maybe we should do that kind
17:06
Speaker 1: of like the guy with the flock camera. Read about
17:09
Speaker 1: that guy.
17:10
Speaker 9: I'm not going to I'm not there.
17:13
Speaker 7: I agree with a flat Did we have a flock
17:15
Speaker 7: camera incident here? It wasn't.
17:18
Speaker 1: Everywhere in West Virginia, there was a guy that was
17:21
Speaker 1: supposed he was. He was under suspicion for cutting down
17:24
Speaker 1: like a dozen There's a lot of them.
17:26
Speaker 7: That are did are Yeah, this is a problem in
17:28
Speaker 7: a lot of parts there.
17:29
Speaker 1: The entire community turned out and gave him an alibi.
17:33
Speaker 1: Every single person like that. No, he was, he was.
17:36
Speaker 1: He was volunteering. He was volunteering for kids with special needs.
17:40
Speaker 1: That day I saw him, he said, I was.
17:42
Speaker 7: I was eating dinner with him.
17:43
Speaker 1: He was helping me dress my chicken.
17:45
Speaker 6: They came to him with it, They hit him with
17:47
Speaker 6: the I am spartacus.
17:49
Speaker 1: Literally. I think there were like twenty thousand people that
17:52
Speaker 1: came out with you know, theyre said, Hey, no, he
17:54
Speaker 1: was with me, buddy, couldn't have done it.
17:58
Speaker 8: I don't like the flock cameras, and I'm I'm not
18:00
Speaker 8: saying that they aren't beneficial, and probably they probably do
18:02
Speaker 8: help a lot. But all I've been seeing is how
18:06
Speaker 8: wrong they've been doing, how many times they've gotten everything
18:09
Speaker 8: wrong versus gotten it right.
18:11
Speaker 1: And that's because the people who are against it are
18:14
Speaker 1: putting out that that propaganda, and it may be factual propaganda,
18:17
Speaker 1: but it's still propaganda. They're coming up on that side
18:20
Speaker 1: of the argument. The other side of the argument is
18:22
Speaker 1: that it is a very valuable tool for law enforcement
18:25
Speaker 1: that has helped save lives and property.
18:27
Speaker 6: For what it's worth, Tom text and I would be
18:28
Speaker 6: happy if they would just put reflective paint on the
18:31

25:19
Speaker 6: We're talking about this in reasons celebrate National Middle Child Day,
25:22
Speaker 6: which I think maybe has something to do with the
25:25
Speaker 6: debate over whether or not the youngest is the most
25:27
Speaker 6: spoiled in your family.
25:29
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's clear.
25:31
Speaker 7: I've always thought this was meant.
25:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this has been proven.
25:36
Speaker 6: Like I and again I did how many Okay, how
25:38
Speaker 6: many siblings do you have?
25:39
Speaker 8: So I have a younger brother, younger brother, and well
25:42
Speaker 8: I'm only two in like three fours two years and
25:46
Speaker 8: three ports of a year olders almost three years older.
25:48
Speaker 7: That's yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:50
Speaker 8: And the differences between an older sibling and a younger sibling, yeah,
25:54
Speaker 8: are vastly different.
25:56
Speaker 7: Who had it easier?
25:57
Speaker 9: Oh, one hundred percent. My brother. He was like, oh, oh,
26:00
Speaker 9: my baby can't do no wrong.
26:02
Speaker 8: No, I'll clean his room for him, but you have
26:04
Speaker 8: to clean your room.
26:06
Speaker 6: This this propaganda that we're being fed today says might
26:11
Speaker 6: not be the youngest kid that's the most spoiled, even
26:14
Speaker 6: though even though common sense tells you that's absolutely the case,
26:20
Speaker 6: they say, many youngest siblings don't feel spoiled.
26:24
Speaker 7: At all because you're talking to the youngest.
26:26
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna deny, deny, deny.
26:28
Speaker 7: You're talking to the youngest sibling.
26:30
Speaker 1: In my wife's family, she has a younger brother and
26:34
Speaker 1: she will tell you at any opportunity how much he
26:39
Speaker 1: was spoiled and how he's the favorite child and that
26:42
Speaker 1: her life was so hard.
26:43
Speaker 6: Like yeah, it's And the thing is, if you go
26:46
Speaker 6: to that kid and talk to them, they're gonna say
26:49
Speaker 6: that again.
26:50
Speaker 7: It's not true. It's the oldest, you had it easier
26:53
Speaker 7: or whatever, like it's it's just it's a never ending
26:56
Speaker 7: the oldest.
26:57
Speaker 9: The rules cetter and you are. Okay, you're the first.
27:01
Speaker 1: Trial kids, you're the learning opportunity.
27:05
Speaker 6: I was the oldest, And yeah, you don't like everything
27:09
Speaker 6: gets it's it's trial and error.
27:11
Speaker 1: After you they quit dropping kids on their head, Yes.
27:14
Speaker 6: They might have that problem solved. Every everything that screws
27:19
Speaker 6: up will be screwed.
27:20
Speaker 7: Up with you as the oldest child.
27:22
Speaker 6: And by the time especially, I mean I had four
27:26
Speaker 6: or three siblings, right me plus three you get to
27:28
Speaker 6: the fourth one too. They're on they're on cruise control.
27:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're tough as nails because the five second
27:34
Speaker 1: rule becomes the five minute rule, you know, with food
27:38
Speaker 1: on the floor.
27:38
Speaker 6: They say that this label creates undue pressure and uh
27:42
Speaker 6: an emotional trauma on the youngest child, because some young
27:45
Speaker 6: siblings feel they have to be the funnies, going peace maker,
27:48
Speaker 6: the dealing with her. And then listen to me because
27:50
Speaker 6: the baby they listen to you, trust me, Yeah, they
27:53
Speaker 6: listen to you. The best way to test this out again,
27:56
Speaker 6: it's just I mean, if you were someone that grew
27:59
Speaker 6: up in a household with multiple siblings, if that was
28:03
Speaker 6: your experience, who.
28:06
Speaker 7: Was who had it the easiest?
28:08
Speaker 1: Who? Everybody except for you?
28:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody except for you. But again, like I think,
28:13
Speaker 6: if you listen to enough people talking about like you
28:15
Speaker 6: will you will get a consensus.
28:17
Speaker 7: That consensus.
28:18
Speaker 5: Oh no, it.
28:20
Speaker 9: Said that I had it harder than him, he goes.
28:22
Speaker 8: When it came to him after I graduate high school,
28:25
Speaker 8: lots of the rules.
28:26
Speaker 9: That were established for me went out the window.
28:28
Speaker 12: He goes.
28:28
Speaker 8: They lightened up quite a bit, he goes, for me,
28:31
Speaker 8: just because they'd already been through the trials.
28:33
Speaker 9: And the aerrs and.
28:35
Speaker 8: Oh well, we didn't let her do that, but I
28:36
Speaker 8: mean in the long run it he goes, my brother
28:40
Speaker 8: this and this is him and I just going back
28:42
Speaker 8: and forth and talking about it and laughing about it.
28:43
Speaker 9: I go, well, I was allowed to this.
28:44
Speaker 8: He goes, really, he goes, they didn't care if I
28:46
Speaker 8: did that?
28:50
Speaker 9: Can I sit there and I don't even care.
28:52
Speaker 8: Like being the oldest kid, obviously you're the learning curve
28:56
Speaker 8: and all of it.
28:56
Speaker 9: So I didn't. I look back at it now and
28:58
Speaker 9: I'm like, honestly, it's probably.
28:59
Speaker 6: A good thing anyone willing to admit that they had
29:02
Speaker 6: at the easiest, that you were fully well aware that
29:05
Speaker 6: you were you were the one that got off light
29:08
Speaker 6: when you were growing up, because that would be fascinating anyway,
29:11
Speaker 6: if you want to chime in nine seven.
29:12
Speaker 1: Nine, I don't. I don't have a dog in this fight.
29:14
Speaker 1: Being an only child.
29:15
Speaker 7: I know you're an only child. That's a completely different experience.
29:18
Speaker 1: Oh god. Yeah.
29:20
Speaker 6: Another question that circulating the internet today is is really intriguing,
29:25
Speaker 6: and it has to do I'm just going to say
29:28
Speaker 6: it the way it's the way it's written. What's going
29:30
Speaker 6: to be today's asbestos.
29:33
Speaker 7: Have you seen this?
29:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it, and I've got one that that
29:36
Speaker 1: did not make the list, but I have seen the
29:39
Speaker 1: list in its entirety.
29:40
Speaker 6: Now, keep in mind, if you've got to guess if
29:42
Speaker 6: you want to, if you want to take a swing
29:44
Speaker 6: at this nine seven, nine six, sixteen twenty.
29:47
Speaker 7: Those of us that are old enough to remember what
29:49
Speaker 7: his bestest was. It was the thing that was.
29:51
Speaker 6: Completely fine until it wasn't until it wasn't. So what's
29:55
Speaker 6: going to be that for the modern generation?
29:58
Speaker 1: Uh?
29:59
Speaker 7: Some of the.
30:01
Speaker 6: Popular ones that are being kicked around, obviously microplastics, although
30:07
Speaker 6: I feel like people are it doesn't really count.
30:12
Speaker 7: No one feels good about microplastics.
30:15
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, nobody's still out with a campaign that
30:18
Speaker 1: talking about how good they are for you.
30:19
Speaker 6: That's scented air fresheners is one that I've seen pop.
30:25
Speaker 1: Up, Yeah, and laundry scent boosters and say.
30:28
Speaker 6: That might be something that'll come back to bite us
30:30
Speaker 6: in the butt one day.
30:33
Speaker 7: Energy drinks. Energy drinks, Yeah.
30:40
Speaker 1: Energy drinks is one of those things I mean with
30:42
Speaker 1: if you're trying to compare it to asbestos. Asbestos they
30:45
Speaker 1: didn't know was bad when they were using it. Everybody
30:49
Speaker 1: knows energy drinks are poison, and they're still chugging them.
30:53
Speaker 6: Seriously, have you ever had an energy drink that you
30:56
Speaker 6: drank that didn't taste like it was straight out of
31:00
Speaker 6: chemical factory.
31:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean in those those rare occasions when I
31:05
Speaker 1: have to use one, for example, last weekend on the
31:08
Speaker 1: ten hour drive on Thursday and the ten hour drive
31:11
Speaker 1: on Sunday, especially Thursday, because I'd gotten up and done
31:15
Speaker 1: the show and then left after the show. Yeah, so
31:17
Speaker 1: I've been up since two forty five and we got
31:19
Speaker 1: to Oxford at nine o'clock that night.
31:21
Speaker 7: When you need them, they'll get the job done.
31:23
Speaker 1: When I need one, I go for the five hour
31:25
Speaker 1: energy just because it's the little shot and you're not
31:27
Speaker 1: consuming the whole can of calories. Yeah, and I find
31:31
Speaker 1: that they work really good for me, but they are
31:35
Speaker 1: dead on you hit that five hour, buddy, you better
31:38
Speaker 1: be where you're trying to.
31:39
Speaker 8: Get Here's my thing, too, is like I grew up
31:43
Speaker 8: in a so I feel like my generation's kind of
31:46
Speaker 8: the last generation before a lot of things, like twenty nine.
31:49
Speaker 8: When I got to in twenty nineteen, a lot of
31:50
Speaker 8: things were the hype of it all, like energy things
31:53
Speaker 8: were starting to get up, like oh, we're going to
31:54
Speaker 8: drink energy, drink a day like.
31:55
Speaker 9: Crack one open left. That's how I get through high school.
31:58
Speaker 9: But before that was not like that at all.
32:00
Speaker 1: Yes, there was a short period of time that you
32:02
Speaker 1: thought they were Okay.
32:03
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a couple of minutes
32:04
Speaker 6: to speculate on this and again if you've got one
32:06
Speaker 6: that you think you used in the back of your head,
32:09
Speaker 6: I think this is gonna be something that we're gonna
32:11
Speaker 6: find out it's really bad for us.
32:14
Speaker 1: One day, and when we come back and talk about that,
32:15
Speaker 1: I'll give you mine. Please.
32:17
Speaker 6: Nine seventy nine six nine five sixteen twenty is our
32:19
Speaker 6: phone number.
32:24
Speaker 8: Good morning, I'm Riley, flirting with your morning sports update
32:27
Speaker 8: on sixteen, twenty ninety four five WTA W. This update
32:32
Speaker 8: is brought to you by Texas Select Codings, your trusted

32:44
Speaker 8: the A and M soccer team is set to open
32:46
Speaker 8: the twenty twenty six season at Holloway Field in Houston,
32:49
Speaker 8: Texas against the Rice Owls. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth talked
32:53
Speaker 8: about the relationship building within the team and reflects back
32:57
Speaker 8: on the preseason matches.
32:59
Speaker 13: You know, we try to much as we can build
33:01
Speaker 13: those relationships as quick as possible, but you know, having
33:04
Speaker 13: experiences with one another and time, you know, takes time
33:09
Speaker 13: to learn players and learn you know, learn their instincts,
33:12
Speaker 13: learn their behaviors. So I think with us, you know,
33:14
Speaker 13: it's no different. We talk a lot about predictability and
33:17
Speaker 13: behavior and that being important for others to be able
33:20
Speaker 13: to adjust knowing what you're going to do ahead of time.
33:22
Speaker 13: So I think as you get more experience as a
33:24
Speaker 13: team and you have more game experience, then those things
33:27
Speaker 13: become easier and those relationships become a little bit more
33:31
Speaker 13: easy to predict. We have the ability to be a
33:34
Speaker 13: very good team, and when we're intent full and making
33:37
Speaker 13: decisions always and not taking moments off, I think we
33:40
Speaker 13: have the ability to be a high level team. And
33:44
Speaker 13: then there are moments where we don't do those things,
33:46
Speaker 13: and I think that shows in our play, and we
33:48
Speaker 13: got to be more consistent in doing all of those things.
33:51
Speaker 8: Tonight's season opener can be streamed on ESPN Plus and
33:55
Speaker 8: the start time for the match is set for six o'clock.
33:58
Speaker 8: Yesterday was day six a camp for the A and
34:01
Speaker 8: M football team, and offensive coordinator Home and Wiggins met
34:04
Speaker 8: with the media to talk about his group and the
34:06
Speaker 8: competition level within it.
34:08
Speaker 12: Any good coach is going to try to tailor everything
34:10
Speaker 12: that they do to the players and the personnel that
34:12
Speaker 12: they have. So for us as looking at what our
34:14
Speaker 12: guys do well, trying to put those guys in a
34:16
Speaker 12: great position to be successful and make that happen. I
34:19
Speaker 12: think we have some really good pieces. I'm excited about them.
34:21
Speaker 12: And you know, over five days or five practices through
34:24
Speaker 12: camp and we're starting to figure some things out. Well,
34:26
Speaker 12: there's there's competition all over the place, and the biggest
34:29
Speaker 12: thing for us is we talked about making sure that
34:31
Speaker 12: we run the ball consistently, and we made an effort
34:34
Speaker 12: to kind of tell our guys that doesn't just start
34:36
Speaker 12: with the offensive line. You know, that's a quarterback carrying
34:38
Speaker 12: out the fakes. That's our running backs kind of seeing
34:40
Speaker 12: pressing a whole. That's our receivers trying to bully the perimeter.
34:44
Speaker 12: That's also our tight ends trying to you know, play
34:46
Speaker 12: hard within the corps. But the offensive line has done
34:48
Speaker 12: a great job of taking on that stress and doing
34:51
Speaker 12: a great job of coming out and trying to make
34:52
Speaker 12: sure that they move the line of scrimmage, you know,
34:54
Speaker 12: anchor there and control the tempo because they control a
34:57
Speaker 12: lot of what we do.
34:58
Speaker 8: As of today, we are twenty four day from seeing
35:01
Speaker 8: the Aggies hit the field and kick off the start
35:03
Speaker 8: of the twenty twenty sixth season at Kyle Field and
35:06
Speaker 8: then we'll be taking on Missouri State at six o'clock
35:09
Speaker 8: on September fifth. Last night, the Aggie volleyball team started
35:13
Speaker 8: off their season with the Maroon and White Scrimmage at
35:16
Speaker 8: rit Arena. Outside hitter Kendall Stours met with the media
35:19
Speaker 8: following the scrimmage to talk about the upcoming season and
35:22
Speaker 8: the new team.
35:24
Speaker 14: It's basically right in the middle to me, I was
35:27
Speaker 14: just talking to a girl about this the other day.
35:28
Speaker 14: But it's the game of voilable. The ball doesn't change,
35:30
Speaker 14: and then it doesn't change, the court doesn't change. It's
35:32
Speaker 14: still vouable. So you just continue on with that, you
35:34
Speaker 14: continue on with everything that we're learning in the gym.
35:36
Speaker 14: I think that you know the ceiling. There is no
35:38
Speaker 14: ceiling in the game of volleyball. You can always get better.
35:40
Speaker 14: So we kind of just pick up where we left
35:42
Speaker 14: off last season individually also as a team, just growing
35:46
Speaker 14: off of what we've done to continue to get better.
35:47
Speaker 14: But also it is a really new team, and so
35:50
Speaker 14: kind of restarting and flipping the page with that, with
35:52
Speaker 14: just the chemistry, getting along with each girl, building new
35:55
Speaker 14: relationships and seeing what that looks like on the court
35:57
Speaker 14: is going to be a new page. But I think
35:59
Speaker 14: you just kind of combine the two and we'll see
36:01
Speaker 14: what happens.
36:02
Speaker 8: The Marina Whites next match will be in Waco, Texas,
36:05
Speaker 8: where the team will play their first exhibition match against
36:08
Speaker 8: the Baylor Bears on August sixteenth, with first serve set
36:12
Speaker 8: for six o'clock. That's your morning sports update, brought to

Speaker 6: sanitizer during the pandemic?
36:43
Speaker 7: Well, you may be entitled compensation. I could see that happening.
36:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that one is likely.
36:49
Speaker 7: Kirk says teflon on his list.
36:52
Speaker 1: That's kind of a known one.
36:53
Speaker 7: That's one that I feel, like a lot of people.
36:55
Speaker 1: I've gone back to using cast iron for the most part,
36:58
Speaker 1: for the most part because of.
37:00
Speaker 7: That interesting suggestion. Peptides.
37:03
Speaker 1: Peptides because like, everyone loves them, but what do you
37:07
Speaker 1: know about them? My wife and one of her friends,
37:09
Speaker 1: I don't know which one she was on the phone
37:11
Speaker 1: with at that particular moment last night. They were talking
37:14
Speaker 1: about peptides and she was like, well, what's a peptide.
37:17
Speaker 1: I was like, it's just a new fancy name for
37:19
Speaker 1: amino acid exactly. Yeah, you know, they're everywhere. Now you
37:23
Speaker 1: got to get you got to get the right peptide
37:25
Speaker 1: for the right thing.
37:26
Speaker 6: A few people have texted him they think that the
37:28
Speaker 6: testosterone craze is going to be a album.
37:30
Speaker 1: You know what, So if you want mine, I'll give
37:33
Speaker 1: you mine right now. Okay. The GLP ones.
37:36
Speaker 6: That's that's a very popular one because again there's see
37:42
Speaker 6: I can remember back in the day and this is
37:46
Speaker 6: this is the very radio thing.
37:47
Speaker 7: So bear with me.
37:49
Speaker 6: If you were in radio in about nineteen ninety eight
37:53
Speaker 6: or nineteen ninety nine, and I forget the name of
37:56
Speaker 6: the product, but it was like a weight loss pill.
37:58
Speaker 1: Oh I do you remember?
38:00
Speaker 7: It's every you could was the fin fin was.
38:04
Speaker 6: Something, but it was every radio talent on this earth
38:08
Speaker 6: was howking it in live endorsements and a lot of
38:11
Speaker 6: them were losing.
38:11
Speaker 7: Like crazy weight.
38:13
Speaker 6: Well that's right, becaucause a lot of us are overweight,
38:15
Speaker 6: and in this business.
38:16
Speaker 1: Essentially that was amphetamines.
38:18
Speaker 7: Yes, basically, it turns out it was just crack, is
38:22
Speaker 7: what that was.
38:23
Speaker 1: You can lose weight on that.
38:24
Speaker 6: So I'm just saying, whatever something comes out that works
38:27
Speaker 6: with weight loss, I instantly think.
38:30
Speaker 8: I think that anything that works with weight loss or
38:33
Speaker 8: trying to manipulate your body into something it once was,
38:36
Speaker 8: is gonna have a detrimental probably problem. Your body's built
38:40
Speaker 8: the waight it is for a reason, and you don't
38:43
Speaker 8: need something to speed up processes that's gonna cost more hard.
38:46
Speaker 1: Look I get it, man, I mean I look at
38:48
Speaker 1: some of my buds who have been on the HRT.
38:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it just it just it just raises some questions,
38:54
Speaker 6: raises some eyebrows.
38:56
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if everything I've done up to this
38:58
Speaker 1: point has it killed me already, might as well find
39:00
Speaker 1: something else.
