  Speaker 1: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating the country's largest
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: group of pediatricians, the American Academy of Pediatrics. He is

  Speaker 1: says the Academy developed a new U vaccine schedule different
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: from that of the CDC at the guidance of its
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: wealthiest donors, Big Pharma. The academy claims it was motivated
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to change because RFK Junior's recommendations lacked scientific basis. Paxton
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: released a statement saying parents deserve vaccine recommendations that are
• 1:15

• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Texas teachers who say they're considering quitting their profession is
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: going down, but just barely. A new survey found that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: sixty three percent of teachers are seriously thinking about leaving
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the classroom.

  Speaker 2: also to reduce the fear of math gone violence in schools.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Because we've heard teachers, we've heard students saying that they
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: worry about people in that classroom. This is something that
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: ultimately touches the majority of kids across the state.

  Speaker 1: CEO of Campus Guardian Angel Justin Marsten says their pepper
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: spraying drones can be remotely activated in seconds when an
• 2:57

  Speaker 4: running properly, Malick Field the difference. We're still kind of
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: obsessed with this Coco truck that we learned about from
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: one of you guys. If you missed this, we got
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a message Chris. He was trying to buy one, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: he wasn't sure if he could like title it and
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: register it in Stay, Texas. It's a golf cart that
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: looks like an actual enclosed truck, but it acts like
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: a golf cardinally gets up about twenty five miles an hour,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: and for what it's worth. Curtis texts in all the
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: golf carts down Galveston and registered to play porter and yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: a lot of the beach communities. Yeah, you'll see people
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: driving around plates on a golf cart. It's not crazy.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Todd mentions that he in copper Field, where I mentioned
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: there's no need for a golf cart, has a need
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: for a golf cart, in need or a desire, a need.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: He lives in Copperfield and has a golf cart because
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: his grandkids live in the Oakmont and he ain't walking
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: all the way down to Okay. I can see that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: I can respect it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: And then you have more people texting it, obviously about
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: the terrafab thing, which is big news. I don't know
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: that we have to worry that much about what life
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: is going to look like with a completed terarfab and
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: all the people and things moving back forward. We ain't
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: gonna make it twenty thirty six, y'all, Not at this stage,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: not at this pace. Because like AI, there are so
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: many AI stories of the news today. We had to
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: combine them all into one segment. And I'll start with
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: the least terrifying, and we're gonna work our way up
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to the most terrifying.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Are you ready?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I'm ready, though, least terrifying. An AI poster won the
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Ohio State Fair competition to design the year's poster. It's
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: like an art contest they do every year. They give
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: you a thousand bucks if you win it, and it
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: becomes the official poster of the Ohio State Fair. Who
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: won it an AI poster?
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean a person gave it the prompts and crank.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: A person gave it the problem. Doesse come around here
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: and look this this? I expected when I clicked this
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: that it was going to be at least kind of good.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: That is your standard AI poster. That it looks like
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: every AI image you have ever seen generated for like
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: you know, a promotion or an event or whatever it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: And then if you look down.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: An old school poster. Look it's it's like they looked
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: at all the other state fairs and went, hey, let's
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: crank one out here.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Exactly, and then you scroll down to the other people
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: that place, and you know, we're great. They're great, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: they're hand designed, and they all lost.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: And the judges looked at it went that looks like
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: a state fair poster.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: That's exactly exactly right. So, okay, people are mad about that.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I get that, but that's nothing new. Let's move on
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: down to the state of Louisiana, specifically New Orleans, where
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: the city of New Orleans is going to start using
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: AI to answer your nine to one one calls.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: I don't like that at all.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: All right, all right, all right, they be to New Orleans.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is you. I'm I mean, I guess it's
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: gonna be very convenient. They get a lot of nine
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: one one calls, but they're also very bad now won
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: one calls. They're the kind that you don't want to get,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: like someone getting. You know, there are a lot of murders,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: a lot of cars, a lot of bodies and boys.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: You're going to be giving your information to the AI,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: and the AI is going to try to talk you
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: through this. People obviously not happy about this. I say,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: it's going to be very dangerous to the public.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Of course, is yeah, yeah, of course it's going to
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: be dangerous. But you know they're broke.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: We ain't got it. I can't paign an operator. What
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: choice do I have? And for the final one and
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the most terrifying AI story today, I turned to Dusty.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, go ahead. Do we learn nothing from COVID?
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Nothing at all?
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: We we well, we might have learned something from COVID,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: but AI learned something totally.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: But AI is not thinking for itself yet. AYI is
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: doing things that people.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Don't do what you tell it to do to do. Now,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: it's it's kind of like it's kind of like, uh,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: you know those old fairy tales whenever they give you
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: three wishes. The genie gives you three wishes, and you
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: wish for the things you want, and they all come
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: with a curse soon kind of like like obsession. It's like, hey,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I want this girl to love me more than any
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: other human in the world and snaps the one wish
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Willow and then she becomes a psychotic, obsessed monster that
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: ruins everything ruins everyone's lives.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: Well, he ruined hers, Well he ruined it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Well, yes, it is his fault. No no, no, no, don't
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: get me, it's his fault. I feel like that's what
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: AI's do it because explain this.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: So researchers said, hey, let's find out how many new
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: viruses we could make.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can make, can make, can make? You know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: it would be great a new virus.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: If we made some new viruses. So they put AI
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: to the task crank out some new viruses. They synthesize
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: the DNA and just watch the bacteria churn out these
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: new viruses.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how many viruses, Dusty, I have the answer. It
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: was eleven. They made a eleven new viruses with AI.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: And they're actually really worried about this because Ali was
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: really good at it, really good at it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: They ought to be really worried about it. Why are
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: you doing that?
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: It's my favorite book That shouldn't.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: You should not be This is back to like what
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: I said yesterday. You should not the people in general
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: should not be able to lie to you about things
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: that are going on.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: People should not be able to be creating things that
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: are gonna kill me.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: But yet they are my favorite or research legitimately my
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: favorite book that I've read in the past year. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: some people are going to say that it's alarmist and crazy,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: and it probably is. And if anyone builds it, everyone dies.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: It's a book that was written. If anyone builds it,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: everyone dies, And it's written by a couple of guys
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: who were involved in like the early days of like
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: AI and an AI theory, and they are basically saying, hey, look,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if we win, or China wins, or
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Brazil wins, or England wins. The second someone develops super AI,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: which is the AI actual general decide that it just
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: wants to make viruses for whatever reason it comes up with,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: there is no that It's like when an Avengers doctor Strange, like,
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: how many timelines you see this working out? One they
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: say there is zero chance that humanity will be able
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: to survive artificial intelligence at that level, because it's just
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: it's capable of doing things like creating eleven viruses in
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: twenty five minutes or some crazy thing, and then one
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: of those being the thing that wipes all life off
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: of the planet. And it just says Oh well, you
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: told me you want viruses, so I gave you viruses.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Oh well, on to the next one. Terrifying. So, like
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: we said, lots of AI, lots of AI. Story of

• 12:56
  Speaker 7: She doesn't need I'm sorry herself alone. She don't need
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: thirty chickennuggets.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Riley, thirty nuggets is not that many nuggets?
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Look if he if heat, Yes it is. But but
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: we regular people don't eat like Tucker.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: I eat the eight and I'm full.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: How how how they're tiny? They're tiny little nuggets. They're not. Yeah, regardless,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Now after people have seen that video, they've all realized,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: wait a minute, do they You know once you get
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: up to the thirty count fifty count nuggets? It's one
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: thing when you're ordering six mcnugs at McDonald's one two.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Three, four five six easy count?
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: But you just start eating. Have we been getting short
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: changed this entire time?
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: So easy fixed? They just they go with the chicken
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: e plan.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: What is the chicken e plant?
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Right? So typically when you when you go to Chicken
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Express and you order the two, they give you three
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: so you won't necessarily so you won't go, hey, I
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: got a small water whatever, they're always throwing an extra
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: one in.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. This is also the five Guys solution when it
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: comes to fries, right, they just give them more.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: When you get fries at five Guys, they fill the
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: thing and then they throw some extra fries in the
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: bag and drop them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: That is so true. And they always do you no, no,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: it's yeah, it's a real thing. They actually they they're like, hey,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: our burgers are expensive, fries are expensive, but if we
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: give you so many.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Of them, you won't complain.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: You're not You're never gonna complain you got shorted. But
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: if you under serve someone fries.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Easy fixer, Chick fil A, throw a couple more nuggets,
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: a couple more. How much can it cost them?
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: You know, make cheese and again tiny little pieces of chicken.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Make sure the thirty count. It's got thirty two, thirty
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: three nuggets in there, they you know, you.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Know, honestly, I feel like it was an innocent mistake.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: Were scooping them and we're just throwing it. And they're like,
• 14:55

• 24:39
  Speaker 4: get to.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I did so. Hey, for fifty bucks, would
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: you sit down for two hours to help train AI
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: to read your thoughts? Now?
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Fifty fifty bucks?
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Fifty bucks?
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: What do you What do you have to do?
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: San Francisco startup? Okay, we'll pay you fifty bucks. They're
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: called Condu. You go in, you sit down, You engage
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: with the AI while wearing this ridiculously looking helmet. Okay,
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: big heavy helmet with a bunch of electrodes in it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: And their hope is to be able to train AI
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: to read your thoughts so you can interact with the
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: machines without voice or text.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: See, that's the thing. I part of me would be
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: curious to see how close they are to pulling that off.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to guess very close. But the other
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: part of me is like, if they aren't, do you
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: want to get them closer? Like shouldn't we all just
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: boycott that deal? And if you are going to help them,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: shouldn't you get more than fifty bucks for that? Like
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: they got the money, like fifty thousand. How much money
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: will it take me to be you man?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Twenty five bucks an hour to go sit down and
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: you know, help work on a helmet that could read
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: your thoughts.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't like that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Wait. Way back in the day, there was a Clint
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Eastwood movie called Firefox. I think it was where he
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: was piloting this Russian plane and he had to think
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: in Russian and because the plane got flown it was
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: a fighter plane and it got flown by your thoughts.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: That was like in the eighties, with all.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: This assuff, they're like, oh, well, let's let it read
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: our mind. You know, I don't like AI. I'm not
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: a big fan of it. I think that it's gonna
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: be a downfall and away to lots of things. But
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: if everyone is so bent on using it, why don't
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: we start using it for things that actually matter, Like,
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: for instance, we have I'm just gonna use this as
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: a it's a sport instance. We have football players that
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: when they get hit they have certain break issues that
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: eventually lead to like cause them death.
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Stuff like that.
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: Why don't we use it for things like helping people
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: instead of things like, oh, let's create viruses to kill people.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Why don't we start.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: Using it for actually beneficial things instead of, oh, let's
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: read our mind so that one day I don't have
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: to dry like doude.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I use it beneficial thing. To use it
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: for beneficial things. It just tends to want to do
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: evil things because it's evil.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: I'm not hearing anything good though the majority of this
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: is bad.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: We don't do those stories because Tucker likes the I
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: like the scary stories. I'm a fan of the scary story.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, I do not like it at all.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: So yes or no, fifty dollars.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: I'm not letting they do anything with me.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about something else scary. The most dangerous animals
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: organized by the states. They occupy the United States of America.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: So World Population Review analyze the data and has come
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: up with the definitive most dangerous animal by state.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: I got a couple, So let's go Texas. Right off
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: the back on this.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: This is not on the paper, No, no, I've got it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I pulled up the entire list, the entire list, and
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I honestly this is what made me doubt that this
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: is credible. What would you guess most dangerous animal in
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: the state of Texas is?
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: So, I mean, the first thing that comes to mind
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: is rattlesnake. But if going by animal injuries, I'm going
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: to say more people are injured by cows.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I would have guessed cow.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: I was gonna guess cows or any type of it's
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: like a cotton mouth or rouse's name.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: White tailed deer would have been right at the top
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: of my list.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean a lot of those injured cars. I
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: don't know how many of injured people?
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Well, like, yeah, yeah, that's the question. How many people
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: die or get injured in a deer related car crash.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: It's a some greater than zero, but how much?
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: No, I mean people, people definitely working cows end up
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: getting injured, and that's just it's not like they're deadly,
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: but I mean occasion, there's a whole heck of a
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: lot of them that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: Just still My dad told me that all the ranching,
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: everything that we've done, they are more dangerous than almost
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: an animal.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: They're gigantic creatures, so giant bowling ball, gator, the gator.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: An alligat how many alligator attacks do we have in Texas?
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Can't remember the last one we had an alligator attack.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of gators, but I can't remember
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: anyone getting getting tore up by one. But they say
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Texas is the alligator that is the most dangerous animal
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: that we have, which again just makes me like again
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Western Florida, that diamonback rattlesnak, you got those, you got
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: water moccasins, you got hell bees. I would think could
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: probably be so maybe I don't more tragic than alligator,
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: but Florida also drew the gator.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: I would have picked Louisiana and Florida for alligators.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: For us, I would not have put us in that category.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: No, there's a decent amount of alligators on the Yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: But right so I'm saying, yes that it's a dangerous,
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: it could be a dangerous animal and you don't want
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: to get involved with one. But I mean, do we
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: actually have injuries? I'm googling this right now. Yeah, tell
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: me what exceedingly rare?
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Exceedingly rare Massachusetts and can tell the American black bear?
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I yeah, okay, okay, South Dakota and Wyoming drew the bison. Yeah,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: which will We all saw that video. I do not
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: mess with the bison. Alabama apparently has it pretty easy
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: because black widow spiders their number one. Utah, New Jersey, Minnesota,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: and Illinois. The coyote is the most dangerous thing they got,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: and in Alaska it's the domestic dog, which, by the way, wait.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Of all the things that could kill you in Alaska,
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: a dog.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you caught that, Dusty, because when I saw
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Alaska and it's like, hey, the domestic dog is and
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I get it. Dogs actually pretty dangerous animals.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm trying to understand the methodology of this list.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe they didn't count the grizzly bear.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, the grizzly bear is number one in Idaho, Montana,
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: and Washington State.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: That's right, Riley, the grizzly bear got three or four states,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: but not only I didn't get Alaska, where the majority
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: of people that die of grizzly attacks happened. Yeah, this
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: is where they drew this at Connecticut got themselves a rattlesnake,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: which I did not know they were that far north.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: And Rhode Island drew the tiger shark. It was that
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: time we heard of a dig of a tiger shark
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: attack in Rhode Island.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: I would have picked talking toga.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Whitetail deer did actually rank very high. Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: and Arkansas. All four of those states. The white tail
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: deer is the killer now in Hawaii. The yellow bellied
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: sea snake one of the most fvenomous animals on the planet. Baby, hey,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: you'll take you out fast.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: You're the one who likes to jump in the ocean
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: and worry about what's underneath.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: That one was freaked out my legs.

  Speaker 7: match against UIW, opening their season here in Agiland. Tomorrow,
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: the team will head down to Austin, Texas for the
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: first lone Star showdown of the season. Head coach Bobby
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: Shuttleworth shared thoughts ahead of this rivalry match Texas.
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: We added, we're on the road the first three games
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: of the season, so wanted to have a good opponent,
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: a good road opponent in there. So that's why we
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: added Texas. So I think it's important obviously get a
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: game at home and get our feet under us, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: get a game against another team and then go on
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: the road and see what it's going to be like
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: for the first three games of the season. Yeah, I mean,
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: I know, obviously I'm new to this, but know how
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: that goes and the rivalry, and so I think obviously
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: anytime we play Texas, it's an important game. But you know,
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: for us, it's continuing to develop the things that we're
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: doing and making sure we're all getting on the same page.
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: Worth also spoke about the communication and structure within the team.
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: You know, we're just trying to stay as fluid as
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: we can in attack and making sure that those those
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: players are communicating. And you know, we don't want to
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: have a we don't want to be superstructured and this
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: player runs into this place, that this player runs into
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: this space. We want to be able to pop up
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: in different places with different players, but they got to
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: communicate about that information.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: The Mert and White will play tomorrow night on the
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: road in a contest against the Texas Longhorns, with the
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: start time of the game set for seven o'clock. The
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: Aggi football team is a couple of practices into fall
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: camp and is getting ready for the upcoming season. Head
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: coach Mike Elco talked about how he feels heading into
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: this season.
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: I think it's like it's like the start of what
• 33:45
  Speaker 11: you're what you're most looking forward to every year, and
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: knowing that you know, you're trying to formulate the strategy,
• 33:50
  Speaker 11: the plan, the vision for this version of Texas A
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: and M football the twenty twenty sixteen to go out
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: and have the most success that they can have. And
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: but you also know how how much that's going to
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: change over the next four months, right, and it's impossible
• 34:06
  Speaker 11: to predict how this journey is going to go, and
• 34:08
  Speaker 11: so I think there's obviously a level of excitement. There
• 34:12
  Speaker 11: always has to be, and there should be. That's consistent
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: year in and year out. I think, you know, as
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: we've started to build and establish this thing, you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: there's consistency with what we're here. There's an optimism and
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: excitement about what we're capable of. I think those things
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: all are important, But there's also it's like kind of like, Okay,
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: we're about to start this long journey through a college
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: football season, and so you're just kind of mentally getting
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: prepared and ready for it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Cojelco also spoke about the challenges ahead of this upcoming season.
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: I think one of the biggest challenges that this program
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: will have is what we'll about to embark on. And
• 34:50
  Speaker 11: that's what I said to our staff, and that's what
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: I'm going to say to our team tonight. This program
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: has had a really hard time doubling down on success.
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: That's our challenge and as a challenge and a puzzle
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: that has not been cracked here before. And so I
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: don't there's not one piece of me that thinks anything
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: is going to be easier. I think this is going
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: to be the most challenging season that we've had. We've
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: got to replace a lot of talented players, we've got
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: to go to some really challenging places, and we've got
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: to have the same levels of success that we're expecting
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: as a program where that we've established as the standard
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: for this program. And so to me, all of that
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: creates what looks to me like the most challenging season
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: that we've had in the three.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: And Aggie football is officially one month out of hitting
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: the field on September fifth at Kyle Field at six
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: o'clock and the Aggies will be taking on Missouri State.

• 36:24
  Speaker 4: image of Ghostbusters with Rick moranis.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: And the spaghetti Yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I actually had Doc Brown from Back to the Future
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: one when he had that little love.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, so I go to a nineteen eighties movie with
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Clint Eastwood.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: But everyone about a movie from that particularly now Bruce Texan,
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: have you guys actually have seen the video of the
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: two robots actually fighting? Apparently there's a video where two robots,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: I guess squaring off toe to toe. I haven't seen that,
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: but I have seen data centers are starting to use
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: the robot dogs as as patrol beasts. And I mean
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: that was straight out of Black Mirror. So I don't
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: like that, but yeah, Bruce, send me a link. We'd
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: love to check that out out. Connie doesn't mind AI.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: She says she used to not like it, but then
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: when she realized she could just talk to it and it'll,
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: you know, give her movie suggestions to simplify concepts and everything.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: So they go, it's pretty cool, kind of like it.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: It's not bad.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Look, it's it's it's used up here on a daily basis.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: I mean it is. We use it.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, oh, I use it just a certain tax.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah. The fact is we don't have general artificial intelligence
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: at this point. We're calling all this AI, but it's
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: a I like right, yeah, that's where we are right now.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Now it's developing fast, and it's doing some things that
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: you go, huh, why are we allowing people to ask
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: it to do these things?
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: To create a supervirus for instance, not probably the wisest play.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: But now onto the attack animals. Interesting question. What if
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: those states have so many attacks i e. Rhode Island
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: and Tiger Shark, then it's no longer considered news worthy
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: and we just aren't aware of it. Like what if
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: you go to the beach in Rhode Island and everybody's
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: losing a leg and there's like, ah, yeah, that's just
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: a Tuesday.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: I would say this though. Shark attacks though, that is
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: a headline that everybody wants to put out there.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Deanna, Texan. When I was a little girl, we lived
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: off Lake Lyingston in Texas. A gator at babies and
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: my brothers and I decide we're going to catch one
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: as a pet. We gather our nets and spent hours
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: trying to catch it. The mother alligator just laid on
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: the banks watching us until we caught one. Then it
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: came for us. I still have nightmares about that gator.
