0:27
Speaker 1: of suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, and investigation is underway
0:31
Speaker 1: by the Sheriff's office and the Texas Rangers. It's not
0:35

0:39
Speaker 1: people are moving here.
0:40
Speaker 2: We're set to overtake California as the biggest state in
0:43
Speaker 2: the nation. That's bringing up questions about the power grid.

0:48
Speaker 2: we just set a new record for power demand earlier
0:51
Speaker 2: this summer.
0:51
Speaker 3: And we might set a new maximum electric load today.
0:55
Speaker 2: He says currently there is enough generation to meet demand,
0:58
Speaker 2: but he warns that will not always be the case
1:01

Speaker 5: These products were marketed to children and the.
2:33
Speaker 6: Age gates that Metal holds out.
2:36
Speaker 7: As being effective.
2:37
Speaker 8: They knew weren't working, so they had awareness and knowledge
2:41
Speaker 8: that children were on their platforms and they were monetizing that.
2:45
Speaker 1: Four states are seeking billions of dollars in damages, as
2:48
Speaker 1: well as fundamental changes to how Meta runs those apps.

3:09
Speaker 7: that fun?
3:10
Speaker 1: That was stupid? Stupid? Several times over the weekend I
3:14
Speaker 1: had to jump in the ranger, you know, the side
3:16
Speaker 1: by side had run down to the Airbnb slash Smokeouse
3:20
Speaker 1: studios voiceover Studios, and each time when I got off
3:25
Speaker 1: of the ranger, I could feel my skin tingling. It
3:28
Speaker 1: felt like I was driving straight into a giant blow drip.
3:33
Speaker 8: Yeah, because you get there is a point where it
3:36
Speaker 8: actually feels like an oven.
3:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, that you're in. I thought I was in a convention.
3:40
Speaker 7: That was achieved.
3:40
Speaker 8: You said you were tanning. You were outside intentionally this weekend.
3:44
Speaker 9: Yes, So I went ahead and got my backyard kind
3:48
Speaker 9: of all like geared up again for it to get hotter, obviously,
3:52
Speaker 9: but also I didn't realize my sprinkler system hasn't been
3:56
Speaker 9: going off as much as I wanted it to, so
3:58
Speaker 9: my grass has been looking a little sad in the place, a.
4:00
Speaker 7: Little crispy, little little toasty. Yeah. Yeah.
4:05
Speaker 9: So was watering back there, kind of moving everything around.
4:08
Speaker 9: And then I have a little plastic pool that I
4:11
Speaker 9: needed to clean. So cleaned it and that was my
4:13
Speaker 9: version of tanning and just doing that or you were.
4:16
Speaker 7: Just sitting there like you were laying out.
4:19
Speaker 1: My daughter and wife were insane.
4:21
Speaker 7: I can't like. Oh, I guess if you have a pool,
4:23
Speaker 7: it makes it a little bit, it doesn't.
4:24
Speaker 1: I turned on the pool chiller and I got the
4:28
Speaker 1: pool water temperature down from ninety two to eighty.
4:32
Speaker 7: That's disgusting. That is absolutely disgusting.
4:35
Speaker 8: I actually had a similar thing with with the watering thing,
4:40
Speaker 8: Like my lawn has got patches, and I know it's
4:43
Speaker 8: because my my sprinkler system sucks.
4:46
Speaker 7: It's just not a good one. I need to get
4:48
Speaker 7: it rebuilt.
4:49
Speaker 8: So I go to Low's to get some sprinklers, and
4:52
Speaker 8: the Low's app is telling me exactly where just some
4:54
Speaker 8: of the regular because I need to see it fill
4:55
Speaker 8: something in you know whatever stuff, and there's not any
4:59
Speaker 8: sprinklers in that zone. I'll tell you what is everything Halloween?
5:03

5:06
Speaker 7: to you.

5:14

5:22
Speaker 9: Cow ready.
5:23

6:14
Speaker 1: Travel things club.
6:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the word that I should have had off
6:18
Speaker 7: the top of my head. It was one of the
6:19
Speaker 7: club that it is. It packed. I mean you have
6:21
Speaker 7: the parents with like the you were seeing the tripods
6:23
Speaker 7: they have for these things.
6:24
Speaker 9: Oh my god, why the.
6:26
Speaker 8: Parents bring the whole camera rigs? But now so they
6:32
Speaker 8: go up about fifteen feet like there's so.
6:35
Speaker 1: They're getting elevated video essentially.
6:37
Speaker 8: So they can because you can you can use your phone,
6:39
Speaker 8: I presume, because you can't. I don't know how you
6:42
Speaker 8: manipulate the camera, but that all the way up, it's
6:45
Speaker 8: just it just looks like antenna's all the way around
6:48
Speaker 8: the thing. And then the family is there trying to record,
6:53
Speaker 8: because what they're trying to do is get some tape
6:56
Speaker 8: so they can into a sizzle reel and then send
6:58
Speaker 8: it around so they're kid can can yeah, yeah, exactly,
7:02
Speaker 8: go to college, maybe maybe catch an eye of a
7:05
Speaker 8: recruit it's gotten.
7:07
Speaker 1: Wonder how much money all that equipment costs versus.
7:10
Speaker 7: I have asked parents this continue.
7:13
Speaker 1: Versus how much would it take for you to get
7:17
Speaker 1: somebody to come shoot it and edit it for you?
7:19
Speaker 1: It's gotta be roughly the same.
7:21
Speaker 8: And once you spend that for And this is a question.
7:25
Speaker 8: I know some of you guys are club parents. And
7:27
Speaker 8: again I I worked with someone that was, honestly I
7:30
Speaker 8: would say, queen club parent. And like her daughter did
7:34
Speaker 8: eventually get a scholarship. The thing is the scholarship she took,
7:39
Speaker 8: she easily could she easily spent more money.
7:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, don't even go there.
7:43
Speaker 7: More money, I would say, by two or three times.
7:46
Speaker 8: Yeah, doing the club experience, and she would have just
7:48
Speaker 8: paying for the paying for the college.
7:51
Speaker 7: I am a retired cheer dad.
7:53
Speaker 1: Here on my back it says cheer dad, security and
7:56
Speaker 1: legitim right.
7:58
Speaker 7: I still can I get a picture? Absolutely absolutely here
8:02
Speaker 7: Riley passed that. Let me just get you that is
8:05
Speaker 7: the greatest patch I have ever seen.
8:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had that. I had that custom made when
8:09
Speaker 1: I was a cheer dad, So I get it. We
8:11
Speaker 1: spent two college educations before my kids got out of
8:14
Speaker 1: into high school.
8:15
Speaker 7: And I guess I, I guess that's my thing.
8:17
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's if you're doing it for
8:20
Speaker 8: the experiencause if it's for the experience.
8:22
Speaker 1: Sophie, oldest daughter, was thinking about cheering in college right
8:26
Speaker 1: up into the last minute. She had been to all
8:28
Speaker 1: the cheer camps at University of Arkansas, she had was
8:31
Speaker 1: headed there, she was gonna be she had a shot, right,
8:34
Speaker 1: a real shot at being on that team, and decided
8:37
Speaker 1: at the last minute she didn't want to cheer and
8:38
Speaker 1: she didn't want to go to Yobe. Youngest daughter, who
8:41
Speaker 1: has been and both of them did not do competitive
8:44
Speaker 1: cheer in high school. I drew the line, I said,
8:46
Speaker 1: you you have a choice school cheer competitive, you're not
8:48
Speaker 1: doing both. So the oldest is has not been in
8:53
Speaker 1: competitive cheer, but she's thinking she's she's gonna go to
8:58
Speaker 1: A and M Yeah, knock on. She has all the
9:01
Speaker 1: criteria to get in, but she's thinking about trying out
9:05
Speaker 1: for their dance team or their competitive cheer team, and
9:09
Speaker 1: also trying out for the aggie regulars, which you can't
9:12
Speaker 1: do until you're sophomore. Really, so she's just trying to
9:14
Speaker 1: figure out what she wants to do. She has lots
9:16
Speaker 1: of options. I'm hopeful she sticks with the dancing thing,
9:19
Speaker 1: but you never know.
9:20
Speaker 7: I just like, what do you think you're like ten
9:22
Speaker 7: or twenty, Like.
9:23
Speaker 1: Oh, you include, you include all the travels everything else
9:26
Speaker 1: in there. Basely, yeah, it's fifteen to twenty kye probably
9:30
Speaker 1: per per chime.
9:32
Speaker 7: Yeah.
9:32
Speaker 9: Oh baseball, they spend unreal numbers. So the reason why
9:35
Speaker 9: they have all those tripods and everything's set up for
9:37
Speaker 9: like each game and they follow their kids like that.
9:40
Speaker 9: Whenever you set up a reel for your kid to
9:42
Speaker 9: go to college, you have to get the best clips
9:45
Speaker 9: of every single game. So let's say their kid scores
9:47
Speaker 9: really good in game one of the seasons, in game
9:49
Speaker 9: seven the season, you have to be able to clip
9:51
Speaker 9: those out to an exact stint so they can watch
9:54
Speaker 9: them perform the actual skill to put in the highlight reel.
9:57
Speaker 9: Oh the video just.
9:59
Speaker 8: Their child, don't So you're obviously former D one athlete.
10:03
Speaker 8: I've had a theory for a long time, and you
10:05
Speaker 8: tell me if it's true.
10:06
Speaker 9: Okay.
10:08
Speaker 7: My theory is, if you are good enough, they find you.
10:14
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're an a certain percentage of the athletic group. If
10:20
Speaker 9: you're in top eight or five percent, then yes. Like
10:23
Speaker 9: when I was graduating high school, I was I was
10:26
Speaker 9: ranking number one coming out of my.
10:27
Speaker 7: Class, so they knew who you were.
10:29
Speaker 9: I didn't have to create a real.
10:31
Speaker 8: But so it's so it's like it's like getting out
10:33
Speaker 8: of high school in general. If you're the top ten percent,
10:35
Speaker 8: you don't have to worry about it, get go wherever
10:37
Speaker 8: you want. And then under that is like the okay,
10:41
Speaker 8: you can market your way into a college. I mean,
10:45
Speaker 8: does that does it make any actionable difference?
10:48
Speaker 7: All of the work the parents are doing to get there?
10:50
Speaker 9: Certain sports yes, for like football, yes, because baseball's your footballs,
10:55
Speaker 9: your soccers all have. The reason why they do it
10:57
Speaker 9: is if you don't play club and only play high school,
11:01
Speaker 9: your high school stats, you only have a certain amount
11:03
Speaker 9: high school status you get, and your club people are
11:06
Speaker 9: catastrophically ahead of you because they're playing year round.
11:08
Speaker 7: Yeah.
11:09
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, so they video you because let's say, hey,
11:11
Speaker 9: like your stats are this, this, this and this and this,
11:14
Speaker 9: but they want to actually see you perform.
11:16
Speaker 7: Yeah.
11:17
Speaker 9: College coaches are typically going to club events versus high
11:20
Speaker 9: school sporting events because when the high school stuff's going on,
11:22
Speaker 9: they're in season, right, so they have to Okay, you
11:26
Speaker 9: actually have video.
11:27
Speaker 1: For I think some of it has to do with
11:29
Speaker 1: the size of your town too. If you're you know,
11:31
Speaker 1: if you're the starting tailback at Iola, you probably need
11:36
Speaker 1: to have some more video out there that's going to
11:38
Speaker 1: be showing what you really got.
11:40
Speaker 8: With that said, what if we started a company where
11:42
Speaker 8: we just do videography and you know, I'm sure there
11:44
Speaker 8: are because we could, we could even do fake play
11:47
Speaker 8: by play into it to hype make it look like
11:51
Speaker 8: your kids really something they don't know that it's not
11:54
Speaker 8: from a real broadcast.
11:55
Speaker 7: Then we can make it sound like they were on
11:57
Speaker 7: esp it.
11:58
Speaker 8: I mean we can even we can even bring owns
12:00
Speaker 8: if we want to, like it, wouldn't that be great?
12:02
Speaker 7: Drones zipping around.
12:03
Speaker 1: Crashing sounds like a great idea crashing into the concessions.
12:07
Speaker 9: About like nine months ago, there were people that were
12:09
Speaker 9: faking their highlight reels with a I remember the sports
12:13
Speaker 9: and they were editing it, putting their number on someone
12:15
Speaker 9: else out Yeah.
12:16
Speaker 1: That happens ruthlessly infomation.
12:20
Speaker 9: It was wild.
12:20
Speaker 8: It's out there, man, all for the scholarship and I
12:24
Speaker 8: guess that for the scholar in il opportunities.
12:26
Speaker 7: I mean, it's like a it's like a job on
12:29
Speaker 7: this absolutely.
12:29
Speaker 1: In fact, Michael just texted in youth sports is no
12:32
Speaker 1: longer about having fun playing sports. It's all about adults
12:35
Speaker 1: making money off of kids.

13:48
Speaker 7: Good night.
13:49
Speaker 9: It's also Knife Day. And every time when I saw
13:52
Speaker 9: this one, all I think of is what do you
13:54
Speaker 9: have in your hand? In This little kid's running around
13:56
Speaker 9: with a pool and he goes a knife, and you know,
13:58
Speaker 9: the mom's chasing. She goes, no, it's like you can't
14:01
Speaker 9: run with it.
14:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, will look I think this is going out of stuff.
14:06
Speaker 10: Yeah.
14:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I carry a knife always and in fact, don't
14:11
Speaker 1: tell anybody I have a collection of knives that I
14:13
Speaker 1: will carry through airports just because eight out of ten
14:16
Speaker 1: times I get through it gets and it's either that
14:19
Speaker 1: or I have to purchase a cheap one when I
14:21
Speaker 1: get there, because this is not a weapon. This is
14:23
Speaker 1: a tool as I use it daily.
14:25
Speaker 7: Is that a generational thing? I don't know, because I
14:28
Speaker 7: don't know that the youth carry a knife.
14:30
Speaker 1: I yes, it depends on the youth. All all of
14:33
Speaker 1: the kids on like the Country and Western dance team,
14:36
Speaker 1: my daughter, they got their belt knives on there and
14:39
Speaker 1: for a while. In fact, I had one and had
14:42
Speaker 1: several and wore them frequently, and depending on what's going on,
14:46
Speaker 1: I will still wear them. I'll use a sheath knife too.
14:48
Speaker 1: But it is it's just a it's just a tool.
14:52
Speaker 8: I know, That's what I'm saying. I I when I
14:55
Speaker 8: was growing up, I feel like everyone has.
14:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, my grandfather had the old timer.
14:59
Speaker 7: Yeah.
15:00
Speaker 1: Yes, my dad, even who is not a knife he
15:03
Speaker 1: was not a knife guy.
15:04
Speaker 7: Always.
15:04
Speaker 1: They always always had a little Swiss army waala.

27:49
Speaker 7: it just picks something that's a weapon.
27:52
Speaker 8: And think about this for a second. It's not as

33:59
Speaker 9: On six ninety four or five wta W, the A
34:03
Speaker 9: and M volleyball team was unable to get past Louisville
34:06
Speaker 9: last Friday night, falling three to one in their season
34:09
Speaker 9: opener of the AVCA First Serve Event. Head coach Jamie
34:13
Speaker 9: Morrison spoke about what he saw from his team and
34:16
Speaker 9: the opener.
34:16
Speaker 13: First off, congratulations to Louisville. They're a great team, They're experience,
34:20
Speaker 13: they're well coached, and I thought that showed tonight. And
34:23
Speaker 13: what I talked to my team about just now in
34:24
Speaker 13: the lacklocker room is I'm simultaneously sad I'm competitive, I
34:28
Speaker 13: want to win, but I'm encouraged with what the potential
34:30
Speaker 13: of this team is. And we've talked the entire time
34:32
Speaker 13: that it's a race to the end of the season.
34:34
Speaker 13: It's not the beginning that we had seventeen weeks. Now
34:36
Speaker 13: we have fourteen weeks to improve for the NCAA tournament
34:39
Speaker 13: to make a run similar to what we did last year.
34:40
Speaker 13: So it was a good first step. And in terms
34:43
Speaker 13: of the things that we talked about doing before the
34:45
Speaker 13: match and the team that we wanted to be, I
34:46
Speaker 13: thought we lived up to that.
34:47
Speaker 9: The Aggi's also stumbled against a strong defensive effort against
34:51
Speaker 9: the SMU Mustangs in yesterday afternoon's match in the final
34:55
Speaker 9: match of the AVCA First Serve event, the Aggs lost
34:57
Speaker 9: three to zero against the Mustangs. Head coach Jamie Morrison
35:01
Speaker 9: recap the game.
35:02
Speaker 13: Obviously disappointed that we lost, but s some music great teams,
35:05
Speaker 13: so congratulations to them on a hard fought win. And
35:09
Speaker 13: I think one of the things we just talked about
35:10
Speaker 13: is we got to make sure that we learn lessons
35:12
Speaker 13: quickly within this and throughout this season. We talked a
35:15
Speaker 13: little bit about those within this match. But I'm happy
35:18
Speaker 13: with the progress our team's making and we're really excited
35:20
Speaker 13: to get back home and get back to work in
35:22
Speaker 13: our practice.
35:22
Speaker 9: Gym coach Morrison also talked about how the sport of
35:25
Speaker 9: volleyball is finally starting to take off.
35:27
Speaker 13: Thick the game, and we talked about this in the opening.
35:30
Speaker 13: I don't know, statements is at this spot where it's exploding,
35:33
Speaker 13: and we have a lot of lead athletes that are
35:34
Speaker 13: spread across a lot of universities, and I think you're
35:37
Speaker 13: going to see that throughout the year of different teams
35:39
Speaker 13: at different times of the year having peaks and valleys,
35:42
Speaker 13: and you're going to see I don't know, these matches
35:43
Speaker 13: where things are going back and forth and twenty seven
35:45
Speaker 13: to twenty five and twenty five to twenty three, and
35:47
Speaker 13: you're going to see that over and over again, I
35:48
Speaker 13: think across the board, and again I think that's good
35:50
Speaker 13: for the game. I think the more that we can
35:52
Speaker 13: get that, the more that we get quality matches on TV,
35:54
Speaker 13: the better for the sports. So I think it's a
35:56
Speaker 13: lot of what you're going.
35:56
Speaker 9: To see up next. The Aggies host the Texas A
35:59
Speaker 9: and M Invitational here in Aggieland at rit Arena. Their
36:03
Speaker 9: first game of the Invitational is on Friday, August twenty
36:06
Speaker 9: eighth against GCU, with first serve set for eleven AM.
36:10
Speaker 9: The A and M volleyball team cruise past Sam Houston
36:13
Speaker 9: in a five to zero shutout on Saturday night at
36:16
Speaker 9: ellis Field. Forward Ireland Churchill and middlefielder Trinity Buchanan each
36:20
Speaker 9: tallied five points with two goals and one assist to
36:23
Speaker 9: lead the charge for the match. The Aggies had a
36:26
Speaker 9: twenty seven to two edge in shots, with twelve coming
36:29
Speaker 9: on the frame. They also had the advantage in the
36:32
Speaker 9: corners eight to two. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth recap the match.
36:36
Speaker 3: It's nice. Obviously starting on the road for three games
36:38
Speaker 3: in a row was tough with the new group, thirteen
36:41
Speaker 3: new players, a lot of young players, so it's nice
36:44
Speaker 3: to get home. Really good crowd. The sport was amazing
36:47
Speaker 3: and I think that showed in our in our energy
36:48
Speaker 3: and the result. Can we needed that. We needed to
36:51
Speaker 3: shut out and I think we competed really well. I
36:54
Speaker 3: thought we connected with each other really well in possession.
36:57
Speaker 3: I thought we had moments of picking up a lot
37:00
Speaker 3: of second balls and limiting them and they're really pinning
37:03
Speaker 3: them in I thought our rest defense was really good,
37:05
Speaker 3: so a lot of positives from tonight. I think we
37:08
Speaker 3: have to build on this performance, and obviously we're getting
37:10
Speaker 3: ready for our good Air Force team that's undefeated right now.
37:13
Speaker 9: Next up, the Aggi's host Air Force at Ellis Field
37:16
Speaker 9: on Thursday night, with first kick set for seven o'clock.
37:20
Speaker 9: In the MLB, last night, the Texas Rangers beat the
37:22
Speaker 9: Los Angeles Angels five to three. Rangers manager Skip Schumacher
37:27
Speaker 9: spoke about the team's performance.
37:29
Speaker 10: I wish I could tell you, like the messaging was
37:30
Speaker 10: different or the work was different. You know, the guys
37:33
Speaker 10: just swung at strikes and didn't chase a ton today.
37:36
Speaker 10: The middle of the order was really good Seager and Wyatt, you.
37:39
Speaker 7: Know, we're fantastic today. But the bottom of the.
37:41
Speaker 10: Order really helped out as well, and I think that's
37:43
Speaker 10: the main difference.
37:44
Speaker 7: We just didn't rely on the top.
37:46
Speaker 10: Diaz had a fantastic day to day home run, Sackfly
37:50
Speaker 10: Freeman had a really nice day to day, or hop
37:52
Speaker 10: you with the big hit, you know, to keep us going.
37:54
Speaker 10: So I think it was just up and down the lineup,
37:56
Speaker 10: and we weren't just so reliant on the top half.
37:59
Speaker 10: Even the top did prettyda good.
38:02
Speaker 9: The Houston Astros also played last night and hosted the
38:04
Speaker 9: Athletics and fell seven to six. That's your morning Sports
38:08
