  Speaker 3: already this morning. We've had to deal with that, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: it's not been the greatest start.

  Speaker 1: I want to think about this from the skunk's perspective.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That skunk has looked around at the twenty seven donkeys,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the five hundred. That's a skunks putting dogs, the bush

• 5:41
  Speaker 1: named and wants to become the next flier key pet.
• 5:44

  Speaker 1: About extinct extinct? Get it?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Have I the one of the one that doesn't think
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: that that's so bad? I have this thing where people
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: are gonna hate this. I have this thing where I
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: think skunk is one of the best smells on the planet.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: No, I mean I don't think it's bad. If you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: just get a whiff of it, if it is on
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you or that close to you, it becomes so overwhelming.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: See I've never been been sprayed by a.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I've been in close proximity.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, you've been close enough.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want any part of that. Unusually enough,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: A friend of mine posted on her Facebook page just
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: two hours ago that both of her dogs would let
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: out at four thirty this morning. Got quote perfume. Oh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: by a skunk. They went after that skunk though, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Riley says this skunk was going after the dogs.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but this was a case where the
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: dogs were the aggressor. Yeah, and then the skunk got
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the receipts.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's right, Okay, I don't want any part of that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Animals are on the move, man. I saw a giant

• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Costs of this practically a wildlife reserve out here at
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the Guarantee Bank.

  Speaker 1: nine Bandit armadillo.

  Speaker 4: Here's Tucker chasing a skunk trying to get his dream. No,

  Speaker 4: it's it's whenever you're on the road and you know
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: someone has someone has taken out a skunk.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I've hit one with the car before. And

  Speaker 1: car pretty good. Now, sometimes you hit them. Yeah, sometimes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you hit them and they don't have the chain to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: release any of the nefarious products.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Yah yah, yeah, yeah, they have to be able to
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: hit the hit the self destruct button.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Well, but when they hit that button.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: That's too much. That's yeah, too serious.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: That one sits around for a while. I've had him,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I've had him so close to the house that it's
• 8:14

  Speaker 4: It bottled? Because if that's the case, then then you
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: know me.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: What are we going to call this new cologne that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you're putting out? Tucker run everyone? Are you going to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: have Johnny Depp do the advertisements like he does.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Better than Petuli?
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Anything, anything is better than.

  Speaker 4: I'd say more of a room spray.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You can have both, Tucker, why not have a whole
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: series of scent products skunk by Freedo.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Jennifer. Wouldn't forty percent skunk be the stink bombs kids
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: used to let off in schools? Remember those?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: We didn't have a whole lot of stink bombs when
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know what that was, but it was not.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That's stink bomb. That ain't a stink Oh they say skunk.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: This is from Tony. Skunk eats rattlesnake. If you have skunks,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: you will never have rattlesnakes. If that's true, I have
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: never never heard that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Going to the GPT here shortly.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's see from Chase, I agree with you.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: That smell on the Highway after someone hit a skunk
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: is a little nice. But this is because as a kid,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: when I was hunting, we used skunk screen as a
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: mask for ours.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: When when dough urine is not strong enough for you,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you're gonna rub on some skunk. That's great. Skunks, by
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the way, will eat snakes, okay, although they also eat
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: everything else insects, scrubs, mice, frogs, eggs, and fruits, you
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: name it. A skunk is probably gonna heat.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Because they're resistant in immune to the viper venom. So
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: that's why it allows them to attack and kill them.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Oh there you go, all right.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Frank and Chrismo text in about the products sung skunk screen,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: which was available in the eighties and say maybe you
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: could figure out a way to get hold of that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: But they say, someone quote unquote from Frank dropped an
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: entire bottle of it in the urinal trough at Britam
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: High School. Let's say that was a pretty enlightened Kenneth
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: just says, call it o de la.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Pepe, Oh de la Peppe. I think that's yeah. Peppy
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Lapew of course, a cartoon character that cannot exist in any.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Brother. I mean you you said it talk about the
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: talk about talking about how that would land.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, we should move We should move on immediately.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: No one needs to think about that too much. We
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: do want to take some time to acknowledge the pain
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: and sorrow for a good chunk of the audience, potentially
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: because there have been a uh there's a new list
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: of vehicles that will not be around anymore, coming very
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: very soon.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I saw this. I saw this list. I did not
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: print out this list.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: I saw this listen printed it out.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Riley, walk me through this.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: The first one is the Ford Escape.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: The Ford Escape is going away, y'all.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: It's escaping its existence, escaping.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: This mortal coil. That's what it's doing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: The number two is the Volkswagon I D point four.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: I've never once heard of it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It's an electric suv that was basically already headed for retirement.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of car
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: companies that put a whole lot into the all electric thing,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the mandate or whatever, and then they jumped feet first
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: into it. And I think Volkswagen has said, oh no,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: we're out now. Yeah, so I think they're getting out of.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Do you know. I was talking to someone yesterday and
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: they were like, they do finance and they were questioning.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: They was like, hey, how much you know about cars?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I said almost nothing. I said, well, I'm going to
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: ask you anyway, would you pay seventy five thousand dollars
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: for a twenty twenty three BMW? I said what model?
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: It was like an I seven whatever it was, but
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: it was the electric one. Yeah, and it's somehow many
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: miles thirteen thousand. I was like, well, first of all, hell, no,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not paying seventy five thousand dollars for you you
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: used to be. But let's take a look at the value.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: And sure enough, that was actually kind of a fair price.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: The thing was, in twenty twenty three that vehicle costs
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: like one hundred and forty thousand dollars. They had lost
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: half of its value.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of vehicles, a lot of vehicles will
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: do that. But the electrics, I think the resale on
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the electric vehicleating.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's cratering and that's only thirteen thousand miles. Why
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: would you ever ever want to get one?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I will give you this.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: If you have a kid and you want their first
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: car to be a Tesla geez, give someone five bucks.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: They'll toss you like, yeah, they a Tesla will find you.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Tesla's are cheaper to get than kittens, are they real?
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: Zays?
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I've well used ones, you know. The new ones are
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: I think still very expensive.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: But number three is the Jaguar f Pace. It is
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the first internal combust engine that is all electric.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Another one, right, Jaguar is going all electrical.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Jaguars going all electric, and the f Paces.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which you know, Jaguar. Jaguar has made some amazingly
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: dumb decision and says a company over the past couple
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of decades, uh and and going all electric, wrecking their
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: heritage of the internal combustion engine.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Feels weird because it's just, you know, they're kind of
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: and let's face it, if you know anything about Jags,
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: the electrical systems are not really something that would encourage
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: you to think they could put out.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: An all electrical car. It's not their forte. The Jags
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: are electrical nightmares.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: They don't want any type of gas powered engines anymore.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: They're going to study They're all in on that, all
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: electric and that's what they're moving to.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Good luck Jaguar.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Next is a Toyota gr Supreme. It is no longer super.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That was a partnership with BMW, wasn't it. That's a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: that's almost like a collector car. Yeah, that's a real
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: sports car for you people to like. The drifting and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the rallies that act like.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Supers used to be so big of a deal when
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I was a kiddy and drive it. Yeah, there's still
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: people are for those old same absolutely.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: And the last on the list is the Tesla Model S.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: It's the most famous electric car ever made. But things
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: must come to it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I had heard they were getting rid of the going
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, maybe maybe you can make some money
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: off a used model. You can, maybe you can very
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: last one I've ever been in a Model less, like
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know one of the first when right when
• 15:26

• 23:39
  Speaker 4: it's okay, it's getting through the.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Most, especially with the little kids. You got to get
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: them back into like the rigors of you've got to
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: get the processes down. And that's the first.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Week College States is gonna be going through it, yep,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: starting next week. Yeah, And I want to ask you
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: about your backpack when you were growing up.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: How heavy wasn't it was, especially uh the you know,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the junior high time and forward. It was uh probably
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: equivalent to what people were toting in desert storm won
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: So you you was having.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: You were you were rocking all absolutely.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: And then there were all the studies that came out
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that said this was harmful to kids and their spinal cords.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And then so you got the lockers and then now
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: they've taken away the lockers.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well here's that's that's my my question. My question
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: kind of stems from that because I was just like
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: you like it was like I was, as we've been
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: howling around stones.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if if I was an organized child, I could
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: have done a lot lighter. But I just stuffed everything of.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: The books, like to the point where you could barely
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: even zip the thing up, and then you have to
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: kind of rock rock it off the ground. And then
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: and then that was what you. You carried it every
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: It followed everything, and we didn't have lockers Timeles schools,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: so everything was in there.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: We had lockers when I was younger.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: We were in the transition of not having lockers like
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I had it in my fifth and sixth grade and
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: then after that was done, no more lockers.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: But we were not in technology.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Quite yet where you can carry on laptop, so we
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: had to carry our textbooks with us. So the fact
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: of my backpack, you would have thought I was carrying
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: a whole other me inside it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: It was leg day, every day, every day, leg day
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: every day. Yeah, so you said it got what was
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: the idea and getting rid of the I think it
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: was lockers.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I think you contraband and stop it and stuffing kids
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and the yeah we're.
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: Afraid you'd weapons, and then right, okay, fair, I can't
• 25:37
  Speaker 12: say it's not, but geez now because times have changed,
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: and I don't know, do they even have books?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they still have they still have books. All I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: know is that when I pick up the oldest daughter's backpack,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: she's a senior now. And and here's the So she's
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: in sheer, she's in Wranglers, and she's in school. So
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: on any given day she will have three backpacks with
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: her and toting two at a time. Three she'll have
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: her cheer backpack and school backpack and her wrangler backpack.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: How do you accomplish this?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: She straps one to the back and one to the front.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, so fun fact.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: When I was in high school, I had my school bag,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I had my cheerback and I had my track back
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: and I had a backpack front backpack on the back,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: and then I double back for track and that's around.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: You walk around one on the back or one of
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: the front. Of the kids do this now, this is
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: like a turtle of a weird pack animal.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, holy pullball, that's what we did too, because you'd
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: have to have your track stuff.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: In one bag and then all the pole vaulting stuff.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: So I would have to.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Carrying just your all, your your fifty pounds of books.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: You were carrying another probably twenty five pounds of gear. Yeah, dude,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be pushing like seventy five pounds.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's why she is so short. Her growth was stunted.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: That was gymnastics all in. How much is your daughter
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: carrying in those bags?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: If she's if she's toting both bags, I would say
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: legitimately combined fifty pounds.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: How heavy? How heavy are your kids packs? Yeah? Sire,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: I need it. I need some more more perspective from
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: you guys on a big day, on an eight day,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: nine sevente six sixteen twenty is our text number. How
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: heavy is your kids?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Picked up? Her backpack should be shocked. I've been shocked
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: by how much it was.
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: It should be light now like it needs a Oh
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: my backpack should be heavy. In these kids backpack, throw
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: a laptop in there, the iPad, maybe lunch and go,
• 27:28
  Speaker 13: Like what else?
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, how is that? Anyway? With that said, the
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: reason I bring this up is because Yes, will, today
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: was the day they dropped the new annual warning make
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: sure your kid's backpack is not more than ten to
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: twelve percent.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Of their body ten to twelve percent ten twelve percent.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: So in your case, you have a you would have
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: to have a five hundred pound daughter to be able
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: to I'll mean Briley Flirky over here would have to
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: be a seven hundred pounder when she was in high school.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: To make that math make sense, Like, how how heavy
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: is your kid? If a first grade what's Timberson? How
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: much the first grader?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Way do you think forty fifty pounds?
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe fifty pounds max. That's what i'd probably say. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: like a five pound backpack, why haven't bothered.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: That's just the backpack.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's that's just the fabric. How is that possible?
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: And yeah, the reasons they say you should be diligent
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: about this it is because again, it's gonna just gonna
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: blow out their backs and their their their their legs
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: and their knees, and you're basically just setting your kid
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: up for disaster carrying these things around.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, everything else that she does also destroys.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Her pack on her n what in the wranglers, thelers.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And the cheerleading and everything.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Cheerleading the most dangerous sport on the planet.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: At least this one's not a flyer. The you the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: older one was a flyer. Oh lord, getting tossed up
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: in the air.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Just you know, yeah, her backpack is ridiculously heavy.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: I'm glad to see that is still the case.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: And I remember I remember riding my bicycle from essentially
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: where Consolidated High School is to where I was in
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: middle school and Junior High, which was on George Bush
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: then known as Jersey Right, And I would ride my
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: bicycle back and forth to school every day. I think
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: it was two and a half miles each way, something
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: like that. So the backpack would be on the back
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of the bike or on my back, and when I
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: was in junior High, there would also be a saxophone
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: strap to a luggage rack back there what.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Five the smallest people always picked the largest instrum band. Yeah,
• 29:38

  Speaker 7: guys who are capable of playing. It's like different lineups
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: every day in practice, every period. But it brings confidence,
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: I'm sure in our coaches and in our offense. When
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: we have so many talented players at each position. Our
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: main focus is like practice five, six, seven, eight, like
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: we just haven't. I just think not many people are
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: putting an emphasis on that or a focus on that.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: I think a big thing is just worrying about how
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: we can improve our game on the last play and
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: on the next play, you know what I mean. It
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: hasn't been a huge thought.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Linebacker Noah mckel also met with the.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Media to talk about how he has improved on the
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: field since transferring into A and M ahead of the
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: start of the season and why he decided to come
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: to Aggie Land.
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: I think there's a few things that go into that.
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: And first, it's being intentional. You know, as a linebacker
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: on our defense. I've said this a few times, but
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: there's got to be commanding presence out there, something to
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: getting the defense set. So I think just that role,
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: and then just some things that coaches gave me to
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: work on in the spring. You know, just footwork wise
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: has really played into how I've grown as a linebacker
• 31:37
  Speaker 11: this year. And then just the physicality piece of video.
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: You know, coaches got his playing really far downhill, and
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: you know that's just helping out a lot with my game.
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: I feel like making some good strides just fall. I
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: think I just believed in what Elka was building here.
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: I believed in this coach and staff and saw saw
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: the you know, the vision. Really I love the culture
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: here and I think that's that's why you know I'll
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: fit in here.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: As of today, we are twenty two days out of
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: seeing the Aggies hit the field and kicking off the
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: start of the twenty twenty sixth season at Kyle Field,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: where A and M will be taking on Missouri State
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: at six o'clock on September fifth. This weekend is a
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: fun scheduling twist for Texas A and M. The A
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: and M soccer team will be playing the Baylor Bears
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: in Waco, Texas on Sunday night at seven point thirty,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: as well as the A and M volleyball team, who
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: will be playing their first exhibition match of the season
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: against the Bears in Waco at six o'clock. In the MLB,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: last night, the Texas Rangers lost seven to zero to
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Angels. Rangers manager Skip Schumacher recapped the
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: game and gave an update on Jacob de Grom leaving
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: the game early last night.
• 32:44
  Speaker 14: Go in and win tomorrow, I mean, that's the only
• 32:46
  Speaker 14: thing you can do. That was as tough as a
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: road trip as you can start out with, and then
• 32:51
  Speaker 14: coupled with you know, Jacob da Grom coming out of
• 32:54
  Speaker 14: the game tonight, So you know, we got to figure
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: it out. Starts with me. I got to start doing
• 32:59
  Speaker 14: something different on the road. Indivision especially, we have not
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: been good.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: We got to switch it up.
• 33:03
  Speaker 14: Somehow, and I got to think of new new ideas
• 33:06
  Speaker 14: for that to happen, because that series right there just
• 33:09
  Speaker 14: can't happen, especially where we're at, where we're at in
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: the season, and you know, we got to fight back
• 33:14
  Speaker 14: and starts tomorrow. I didn't tell me anything in the
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: first inning. It was the second inning that he felt
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: it and it wasn't gonna risk it. Once I heard
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: the tricep and when Lucky, our trainer, came over.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: And told me that it was, that was kind of it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: So you know, hopefully, you know it's nothing huge, but
• 33:29
  Speaker 14: you know, we'll know more tomorrow.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Up next, the Rangers stay on the road to face
• 33:33
