- 3:47Speaker 1: them canceling due to heat.
- 3:50Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's it's I get it. It's got to
- 3:52Speaker 4: be rare. But I mean, now, look, I don't know
- 3:56Speaker 4: if we talked about this or not, but they have
- 3:58Speaker 4: all of those new requirements and regulations that kids have
- 4:03Speaker 4: during athletics, right like during two A days.

- 4:08Speaker 1: to go in something.
- 4:09Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, hey, we ain't doing it, and which
- 4:11Speaker 4: is smart. I agree that that's smart.
- 4:15Speaker 1: But back in mind, here we go. Yeah, you know it,
- 4:18Speaker 1: I get it, you know it. We're much more cognizant

- 4:25Speaker 1: and that's a good thing.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Yeah, there were things you just didn't know that that
- 4:27Speaker 4: you just didn't know, right. It was just like okay, yeah,
- 4:30Speaker 4: I just okay, vomit on the sidelines every single day,
- 4:33Speaker 4: and and run a hose over your head.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Earn water breaks and take AsSalt table.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Take us earn your water breaks.
- 4:40Speaker 1: And take AsSalt table.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Lord, that was a thing.
- 4:43Speaker 1: It was a thing. I barely missed that. Some of
- 4:45Speaker 1: the coaches that coached me missed that too. They're like,
- 4:48Speaker 1: my name, we ended, had you earned your water breaks?
- 4:53Speaker 4: Awful? Yeah, one hundred and two for the action, it's
- 4:57Speaker 4: going to be hotter than one hundred and two. That's
- 4:58Speaker 4: my prediction.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I think, so heat be yesterday. I look, it didn't
- 5:03Speaker 1: look like it. I'm not sure what the historical data says,
- 5:07Speaker 1: but it was stupid high.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Can we go by my car data?
- 5:10Speaker 1: I know it's not in the shape.
- 5:12Speaker 4: I was one hundred and eight at some point yesterday
- 5:15Speaker 4: in my car, one hundred and fourteen, like you mentioned
- 5:18Speaker 4: as the heated that's probably hotter Houston. It's going to
- 5:22Speaker 4: be potentially one hundred and eight in real degrees.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah, then you get all that concrete and metal and
- 5:27Speaker 1: reflective glass.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Sulf moisture. Welcome to hell night. Twenty percent chance of

- 5:43Speaker 4: chance of rain for the weekend.
- 5:46Speaker 1: No, it's working. Yeah, And I'm thinking that I've waited
- 5:49Speaker 1: so long on mowing my grass. I think I might
- 5:52Speaker 1: strap some portable lights and try to do it in
- 5:55Speaker 1: the overnight hour.
- 5:56Speaker 4: I was thinking I might wait until sundowns I still
- 5:59Speaker 4: need to because.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I sundown is still stupid hot.
- 6:01Speaker 4: I've got street lights, I mean I could.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Technically, I do have some lights on on my mower.
- 6:07Speaker 4: I mean that's not a problem. Yeah, you have a
- 6:09Speaker 4: if you had a.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Tractor, it's not attractive. It's attractor. I'd be all over it.
- 6:15Speaker 1: It's it's a zero turn, and it does have some
- 6:16Speaker 1: lights on it. I've just never utilized it at night.
- 6:19Speaker 1: And there are some things in my yard that and
- 6:22Speaker 1: the various other things that you can't qualify as a
- 6:25Speaker 1: yard that will absolutely destroy the mower. Gotcha, So things
- 6:30Speaker 1: I gotta watch out for.

- 6:58Speaker 4: it's like, okay, well, I get to get a few
- 7:00Speaker 4: episodes in and then it's you know, you look up
- 7:04Speaker 4: and it's like ten thirty at night and I still
- 7:06Speaker 4: haven't gotten to the end of it.
- 7:08Speaker 1: You finished, I finished it off.
- 7:10Speaker 4: I'm just going to still avoid the spoilers.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna give you any Yeah, I will
- 7:15Speaker 1: just tell you that the final the final episode of
- 7:17Speaker 1: this current season I thought was outstanding. All of them
- 7:21Speaker 1: were great, but that one covered some ground that was
- 7:25Speaker 1: missing between the end of the original series. Oh litch
- 7:29Speaker 1: in the beginning of the new series.
- 7:31Speaker 4: I dig it. You were mentioning to me that you
- 7:34Speaker 4: feel like we're being short changed.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's only ten episodes this season. There was
- 7:38Speaker 1: only ten episodes previous seasons. Yeah. I went back and
- 7:41Speaker 1: did some historical digging, some research. Yeah, and there, and
- 7:45Speaker 1: and there have been seasons that have been as few
- 7:47Speaker 1: as ten episodes, but there's also been seasons when they
- 7:49Speaker 1: were twenty five episodes. I would think that the mean
- 7:53Speaker 1: is probably around fifteen seventeen.
- 7:56Speaker 4: So what is happening? So you used to have I
- 7:59Speaker 4: missed those days? Yeah, a season of television.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Yeah, you go back and look at old school TV
- 8:05Speaker 1: stuff like mash or something like that.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Fifty epps. Yeah, like some crazy number of epis. When
- 8:11Speaker 4: did that guy's voice change?
- 8:13Speaker 1: I don't know, but that was definitely print.
- 8:15Speaker 4: That was a different voice.
- 8:17Speaker 1: So the info on that in case you didn't catch
- 8:19Speaker 1: it from.
- 8:21Speaker 5: That different Austin, Texas.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Yeah, tailoring callaway sorrels of one year old. Last scene
- 8:27Speaker 1: July twenty first in Austin, I was seen with twenty
- 8:31Speaker 1: six year old Taylor Callaway King, July twenty first. That
- 8:34Speaker 1: would have been yesterday, eight fifty five pm in Austin.
- 8:39Speaker 1: So that's that's what they're looking for. There's no vehicle,
- 8:42Speaker 1: there's nothing else according to the information I'm viewing right
- 8:46Speaker 1: now that would help us locate that particular child.
- 8:52Speaker 4: What's wild is it hasn't even shown up on my
- 8:54Speaker 4: phone yet.
- 8:54Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Normally my phone goes so wild, like you could hear
- 8:58Speaker 5: it from probably.
- 8:59Speaker 1: My I think I probably turned mine off, Oh did you? Yeah,
- 9:03Speaker 1: because if I mean, I've got weather alerts up there.
- 9:05Speaker 1: But let's face it, and this is a I mean
- 9:08Speaker 1: the Amber alert stuff. When you get an amber alert
- 9:11Speaker 1: from Amberillo here in the Brian College Station area. Yeah,
- 9:15Speaker 1: that that causes people to not want to pay attention
- 9:17Speaker 1: to think because.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Like you have a you have you ever been in
- 9:20Speaker 4: a room where all of a sudden, everyone's phone goes
- 9:23Speaker 4: off at the same time. Yeah, and you're thinking, like
- 9:26Speaker 4: the world, end of the world, and then it's not. Yeah,
- 9:29Speaker 4: it tends to It tends to affect how you look
- 9:32Speaker 4: at that ones of the future.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I have enough nap interruptions as it is. I don't
- 9:38Speaker 1: I don't need more.
- 9:39Speaker 4: That's that's the best alarm that I know. We can't
- 9:43Speaker 4: use that sound. I can't play that sound. I'm sure
- 9:46Speaker 4: you could record it and phone I.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Bet you kill I bet you could. I bet AI
- 9:53Speaker 1: could help you out.
- 9:54Speaker 4: Without Because that's that's better than anything in that bank
- 9:59Speaker 4: that goes often switching.
- 10:02Speaker 1: That's like that. It's like the sound of a cat vomiting.
- 10:05Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll get you out of bestanding alarm. All right,
- 10:10Speaker 4: let's do this thing Wednesday morning. Welcome to the show, everyone,

- 10:18Speaker 4: text number slash everything number nine seven nine sixty nine
- 10:21Speaker 4: five sixteen twenty please hit us up. Riley was mentioning
- 10:25Speaker 4: something I thought was very insightful in relation to that
- 10:30Speaker 4: emergency alert message that you'll hear. Times are changing, Technology
- 10:36Speaker 4: is changing. You know, it doesn't have to necessarily be
- 10:40Speaker 4: in the future one voice for everyone. Will there be
- 10:43Speaker 4: a time when you can pick your voice for the
- 10:48Speaker 4: emergency alert system? And if you could pick your voice,
- 10:53Speaker 4: which voice would you pick?
- 10:55Speaker 1: Oh? I think that's painfully obvious. I'm going with the
- 11:00Speaker 1: voice of Darth Vader James James.
- 11:04Speaker 4: Fantastic choice. Fantastic Derbyville to Fantastic Herbieville as the voice
- 11:11Speaker 4: of e A.
- 11:12Speaker 1: S Hey, y'all, we got a storm coming.
- 11:14Speaker 4: I'm tom too severe tornadoes will be like that's that's
- 11:21Speaker 4: that would be great. It's comforting. I could see that.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Morgan would be great as well. I think you need
- 11:27Speaker 4: someone that says emergency. I don't know who says emergency,
- 11:30Speaker 4: that says almost too comforting form well, someone that's that
- 11:34Speaker 4: alarms me.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of things people out there
- 11:37Speaker 1: that you know would work for that.
- 11:41Speaker 5: It needs to be someone that.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Kind of like yells at you, like take shelter now,
- 11:44Speaker 1: exactly run Samuel L. Jackson Jackson.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Sam Jackson is your man early leader on that.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. And if there was a setting
- 11:55Speaker 1: that you could open up his vocabulary to his typical.
- 12:00Speaker 4: I want yeah, I want not say for family, yeah,
- 12:04Speaker 4: Sam Jackson, And I want that to be the if
- 12:07Speaker 4: it's really an emergency, yes, if it's regular you know,
- 12:11Speaker 4: if it's like a five out of ten emergency, give
- 12:14Speaker 4: me a capital one, Sam Jackson. Yeah, right, give me that,
- 12:18Speaker 4: Sam Jackson. If I want full pulp fiction, if it's
- 12:21Speaker 4: something where I need to run, they give me that. Yes,
- 12:27Speaker 4: it is Wednesday. It is also the twenty second day
- 12:31Speaker 4: of July. To keep plotting our way through the summer
- 12:34Speaker 4: on the Info Maniacs, let's talk reasons to celebrate Riley,
- 12:39Speaker 4: take it up.
- 12:40Speaker 5: It is BLT sandwich to day. Oh I like the bacon,
- 12:45Speaker 5: lettuce and tomato sandwich. Have you ever had just a
- 12:48Speaker 5: BLT nothing else but those three?
- 12:50Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, absolutely.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Mayo is the thing that probably blows it because yeah,
- 12:57Speaker 4: that's it's technically not a b m LT.
- 13:00Speaker 1: But or what assume the condiment?
- 13:03Speaker 4: You assume there's got to be something as a binder on.
- 13:06Speaker 1: The brand to add some moisture.
- 13:07Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta have something in there. What else would
- 13:09Speaker 4: you put on a BLT though?
- 13:11Speaker 1: Cheese?
- 13:11Speaker 4: Maybe it is that what you're hinting at. Blteo Okay,
- 13:16Speaker 4: that's exactly where my mind.
- 13:18Speaker 5: I would need cheese, Okay, okay, I just feel like
- 13:21Speaker 5: it adds to it and then a condiment like you said.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta have a condiment.
- 13:26Speaker 5: It's also Hammock Day, a day dedicated to the ultimate
- 13:29Speaker 5: summer relaxation. I don't think that we could probably do
- 13:32Speaker 5: that right now with how hot you could.
- 13:35Speaker 1: You'd have to have a swamp cooler and some shade. Yeah,
- 13:37Speaker 1: and there's been two times pools. There's been two times
- 13:41Speaker 1: in my life where I've owned a hammock and I
- 13:43Speaker 1: used it pretty consistently. Yeah. I had one in Austin
- 13:47Speaker 1: when I lived there in my backyard with Christmas lights
- 13:50Speaker 1: in the tree.
- 13:51Speaker 4: You had the proto tip, you had the Austin back yard.
- 13:54Speaker 4: I had the Austin back Yeah, we've all seen it.
- 13:56Speaker 4: And then I had actually a.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Pair of hammocks behind smokehouse studio so that when I
- 14:02Speaker 1: was barbecue and I could catch a nap in the hammock. Yeah,
- 14:06Speaker 1: And I used those hammocks and and one of them,
- 14:09Speaker 1: both of them fell apart. Unfortunately, I got to get
- 14:11Speaker 1: some new hammocks.
- 14:12Speaker 4: And hammocks are so underrated, you know, when you get one,
- 14:15Speaker 4: you're like, why haven't I had this my entire life?
- 14:18Speaker 1: When you set it up correctly, when it's done, but
- 14:20Speaker 1: it's done right, if it's if it's too flat, or
- 14:23Speaker 1: it's it's you know, too loose than then that's an issue.
- 14:26Speaker 4: You know, on ships back in the day, they used
- 14:29Speaker 4: to sleep in hammocks. Of course, the pirate you think
- 14:31Speaker 4: of slept in a hammock.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because they'd roll out of their bunks. Otherwise
- 14:36Speaker 1: the hammock is emotion dampener.
- 14:39Speaker 4: Exactly, it's a it's a brilliant thing.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Swaying your hammocks. But you're enveloped in a hammock.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Exactly. You can't you can't roll off the edge of.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You have to try to be fair, right, you have
- 14:54Speaker 1: a problem walking across the parking lot.
- 14:57Speaker 4: That is that is that is a different a difficult task.
- 15:01Speaker 4: Congratulations on your company.
- 15:03Speaker 5: I made it too tight.
- 15:05Speaker 1: So what it happened as soon as went to spinning.

- 15:17Speaker 5: as a reminder for fairness, generosity, and sharing resources rather
- 15:21Speaker 5: than large portions something for oneself.

- 15:27Speaker 4: you're going to take the lion's share. Shouldn't it be like.

- 26:27Speaker 1: all the scrolling, all the swiping, that's what gives you
- 26:30Speaker 1: the texting thumb. And it's because they say that the
- 26:34Speaker 1: smartphones are larger and heavier and people use them for
- 26:38Speaker 1: way too many things other than just calls and text because.
- 26:42Speaker 4: You're just running. Yeah, you're just using it all day. Yeah,
- 26:45Speaker 4: your body wasn't meant to do that. I didn't think
- 26:47Speaker 4: you were going to get it. Because you are one
- 26:49Speaker 4: of the voice to texters.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Yeah. I like to voice detect simply. But it's funny though,
- 26:54Speaker 1: because I speak for a living yea, And when I
- 26:56Speaker 1: really try, I can enunciate and dictate like nobody else.
- 27:00Speaker 4: I can't do this, by the way.
- 27:02Speaker 1: And I have rage. I can get rid of the
- 27:04Speaker 1: mush mouth, but inevitably the voice to text. Will you
- 27:07Speaker 1: put out something else?
- 27:08Speaker 4: It's so bad. It never gets it right. Never have
- 27:12Speaker 4: you ever seen have you ever had it?
- 27:13Speaker 1: Get it? On occasion my.
- 27:15Speaker 4: Car trying trying to text my wife and I'm not
- 27:20Speaker 4: going to pick up my phone and text because I
- 27:21Speaker 4: listened to commercials on the radio. Don't do it. I'm
- 27:25Speaker 4: gonna try to use voice to text never once.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Never once, never one. I think it's I don't think
- 27:30Speaker 1: anybody's really texting or hammering out, you know, long emails
- 27:34Speaker 1: on too many phones so often that they get the
- 27:37Speaker 1: texting thumb from that.
- 27:38Speaker 4: I'd be amazed.
- 27:39Speaker 1: I think it's the doomed scrollers.
- 27:41Speaker 5: Oh you imagine, though, you go to the doctor and
- 27:44Speaker 5: you're like, oh, my thumb's hurt, and they go, all right, uh,
- 27:49Speaker 5: you got tendonitis in your thumb from scrolling from TikTok.

- 28:01Speaker 1: Yeah, you and I were not doing that. I don't know.
- 28:05Speaker 1: I don't think I'm ever going to have a problem
- 28:07Speaker 1: with it, because I believe that I have some of
- 28:09Speaker 1: the most well developed thumb muscles in the world. Do

- 28:49Speaker 1: marching band, and I would always forget my next strap,
- 28:52Speaker 1: so I just have to carry it by my thune.

- 29:03Speaker 4: A correct voice text is so seldom that whenever it happens,
- 29:07Speaker 4: it causes excitement.
- 29:09Speaker 1: It's reasons for celebrations.
- 29:10Speaker 4: I would I would fall over backwards if it got
- 29:13Speaker 4: it right when I was trying to.
- 29:15Speaker 1: And it's and it's always the most random thing. Yeah,
- 29:18Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the one that everybody should know.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always. Yeah, there's a there's several words it

- 31:00Speaker 5: Ball Media Days, and the media had a chance to
- 31:03Speaker 5: sit down with Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart. Coach
- 31:06Speaker 5: Smart talked about what it is like for freshmen and
- 31:09Speaker 5: transfers to hit the field for the first time under
- 31:11Speaker 5: his leadership and the expectations.
- 31:14Speaker 6: I want him to know the standard, but I don't
- 31:16Speaker 6: want it to come from me. I want it to
- 31:17Speaker 6: come from the players. I want them to say, hey, man,
- 31:20Speaker 6: look that's not how we're going to do that here. Now,
- 31:22Speaker 6: we're going to have a notepad, we're going to take notes.
- 31:24Speaker 6: We're going to have a meeting every day. Coach s
- 31:26Speaker 6: Mart's going to talk to the team in some setting
- 31:28Speaker 6: and teach something.
- 31:29Speaker 1: And then every.
- 31:30Speaker 6: Coach is I grew up with two educators in my home,
- 31:33Speaker 6: so I'm big on when we go into a meeting room,
- 31:35Speaker 6: we're trying to get interaction. I don't want to sit
- 31:38Speaker 6: there and just talk and have no interaction. So how
- 31:40Speaker 6: do we generate ownership from the players, whether they're a
- 31:44Speaker 6: portal guy coming in as a senior or a true
- 31:46Speaker 6: freshman coming in who's overwhelmed by this wealth of information
- 31:49Speaker 6: and intensity that he's got to raise the standard to
- 31:52Speaker 6: get to real quick to be able to help us.
- 31:53Speaker 6: And I like that, you know, I like that now,
- 31:55Speaker 6: and I learned it from Nick. You know it's fourth
- 31:57Speaker 6: and one. You think my place is fourth and one.

- 32:21Speaker 5: in his last ten games, and Brandon nemo Homard among
- 32:25Speaker 5: his four hits as the Rangers beat the Chicago White
- 32:28Speaker 5: Sox ten to zero. Rangers manager Skip Schumacher talked about
- 32:32Speaker 5: Rockers performance.
- 32:34Speaker 7: Got the extra rest obviously helped him. He was throwing
- 32:36Speaker 7: ninety five miles an hour plus, fastball command was great,
- 32:41Speaker 7: the slider with rate was probably one of his best
- 32:44Speaker 7: of the year, mixing some changeups, this new split that
- 32:48Speaker 7: he's kind of working on, so yeah, I mean it
- 32:52Speaker 7: was a left handed lineup two and so he's still
- 32:55Speaker 7: dominated with the fastball slider combo with some cutters in
- 32:59Speaker 7: on some left so limited the walks. Obviously not many hits,
- 33:03Speaker 7: So just outstanding job by Rock and.
- 33:06Speaker 5: The Houston Astros beat the Miami Marlins last night five
- 33:09Speaker 5: to three. That's your morning sports update on sixteen, twenty

- 33:36Speaker 4: I was sleeping. He ads this message was a talk
