• 5:08
  Speaker 5: I've got I've got the kittens at the house, like

• 5:14

• 5:22
  Speaker 3: That now she is a She isn't a surprise mom too.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: This morning is a surprise.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: Yes, so yesterday I have I have a couple of
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: fish tanks, and I have really cool ones. I have
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: a Beto one, and then I have one that's in
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: my bathroom.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: It's probably a ten.
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: Gallon that has five male guppies in it, and then
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: it has a fish in it that cleans the bottom
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: and they're all by themselves because you can't put female
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: fish and male fish together, especially if they're guppies.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, I understand lots of people they're the rabbit of
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: fish because they will make little guppies.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: Well, I have an eight gallon tank in my kitchen
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: and I was and I've had it for a while
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: and I haven't had anything in it but a bottom feeder.
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: So about a month ago, I decided, you know what,
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna buy three female guppies just because they're bigger
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: in size. They only I only really need like four
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: fish in an eight gallon because you don't want to
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: over populate your fish tanks because then they start dying
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: and it's just a bad deal.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So I bought the three, didn't think anything of it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I was like, you know what, this will be fun.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Like I have my male tank and my female tank.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: They're separate, this, that and the other.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: Well, I have lights that rotate on and off, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: I'm one of those people. I only feed my fish
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: once every three days because if you overfeed them, fish'll
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: eat till they kill them, basically. So I turned the
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: light on like eight thirty last night and I'm feeding
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: my female guppies. Well, I have all live plants in
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: my tank because I try to, you know, what, make
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: it look more full. Also, just that's kind of how
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: fish like it, because obviously it's that's their natural habitats.
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: So I'm looking around feeding them and I've already realized
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: I have a snail issue, which we'll get to that
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: in a minute. And I see these tiny little things
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: swimming around in there, go oh no, what else did
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: this live plant bring to my tank?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Like sea monkeys?
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Exactly honestly, and you never know. I was like, is
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: there shrimping here?
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: What else did this plant bring that I got off
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: of a store?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: So happens? Continue?
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: Sorry, So I look at this tank and I look
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: around and go, oh no, I've got about probably twenty
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: to thirty or more.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure guppy fry in my tank.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: They're hard to count.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Babies.

• 7:30
  Speaker 6: guppy grass.

• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, these were all so did you miss?
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Was there a miscalculation in one of the fish or
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: did life just find a way?
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: Well, I saw one of them was starting to get fat,
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: and I thought that I was overfeeding her.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Come to find out, she's not gonna count.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But how when she bought it at the at the.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Store, they reproduced at the store.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: That's how they get you, yeah after.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm a proud guppy mom. That's one on accident.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with all the whole guppies?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: What are you what are you supposed to do?
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: I feel like they're gonna take over your tank because
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: now there's no way, you.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Know, there's gonna be some males and females whatever, they're
• 8:06

• 8:22
  Speaker 8: and some of them are cute, but I don't know
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: what to do with them because they're gonna grow to
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: be big guppies.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: So I have like thirty.
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: Fish in an eight gallon tank that was only intended
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: to have four fish.

• 8:33
  Speaker 1: scuppy fry, right, yes, but.

  Speaker 8: was such thing as assassin snails. I had no clue.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: So my hairstylist he does my hair from my hometown,
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: was she has a fish tank in the in the
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: hairstyle place. And I turned around and I saw this
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: cute little yellow like black striped snail.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: I go, what is that?
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: She goes, I had a snail out break, So I've
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: bought an assassin snail, and go, let me guess the
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: it's the it's a snail at each other.
• 11:06

  Speaker 8: have a snail problem. Looks like I'm gonna go buy
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: me one. So I bought me one yesterday off pet smart.

  Speaker 5: You just buy this contract killer and just drop them
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: in your tank and it gets rid of the snails.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Well, the problem is with snails is like, once you
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: have the ones that I have, once they I guess
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: one of the plants had multiple eggs because they all
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: hatch at the same time. Once they get in your tank,
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: you cannot get rid of them unless you figure out
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: a way to kill them or start a new whole tank.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: And the issue with all that is, I just need
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: them to be gone, So I'm gonna have Sorry. I
• 11:43

  Speaker 1: tenth of a percentage point from June to July. It's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: gone from three point five percent to three point four percent. However,

  Speaker 1: many sectors like groceries, transportation, or services. Here's TSN's Elizabeth Schultz.

  Speaker 7: it would be when you look at kind of across
• 18:57

  Speaker 10: Let's make sure we're paying attention to our driving habits
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: when we're around these schools. And let's not forget about
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: the school buses. They have their red flashing lights and
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: stop signs that come out.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: When they're loading and unloading.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: And those are not just suggestions you must stop, because
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: if the Sheriff's department sees you, or any other law
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: enforcement agency sees you out there and you pass these
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: school buses while they're loading or unloading, you'll be issued

  Speaker 2: that problem. This is totally unacceptable.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: The beef was distributed in Texas and Florida before USDA

  Speaker 5: Spiked the industry. There's nothing that can get an industry
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: going like having a nice TV show about it, right
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Literally, and this was back in the day when ambulances
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: were essentially hearses, yes, and they had they had no
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: real life saving You know, the stuff you find on
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: an ambulance now is light years. It's the Space Shuttle

• 23:18

• 23:34
  Speaker 5: roaches too?
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: He's asking for a friend.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe I don't.
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: Think pet Smart or pet I go to pet coo
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: now because pet Co for some reason has a lot
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: more options in the fish category.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: But I'm going to PetSmart for like my cat.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Does pet Co have Do you just go to the
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: store and say I want one of those snails that
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: kills everything? And they're like, oh yeah, fam two bucks
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: like what they do.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So you have to put an ad and snail a
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: fortune magazine.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: So for pet Smart and pet Coast. So pet Coast
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: specifically is the one I use for fish when I go.
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: If you want something and it's not in store, you
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: ask them to order it and they ship it there
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: and then you go buy it from the store.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: You don't have to call them, like have a sketch
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: meeting in like a McDonald's parking lots.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: It sounds to me like you should get a female
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: give the money mail fronts Riley, and then you could
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: open up the black market market of assassin snails here
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: in the brass.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Sly Riley's Assassin snails, right, I mean, how metal would
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: that be?
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Get your assassin snails?
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: People need them?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: From the info maniac?
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: Why does she have so many of those? Like I
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: only gonna have one?
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: And some other people who texted her confused about how
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: anything was going to be solved by the baby guppies,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: which of course she's a guppy mom now accidentally going
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: in a fish tank under your mom's porch. But you
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: mentioned this is a mosquito solution.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: Yes, so kind of how it works is a lot
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: of guppies, you know there they outdoors normally, that's their
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: natural habitat before they get stolen and.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Putting into wearing nature.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: And my mom lives in Corpus Christy, Texas, so obviously
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: doesn't get cold there very often. But when it does
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: get cold, she has another pond that has a whole
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: bunch of goldfish in it, which, by the way, you
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: want to talk about fish that.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: Reproduce quickly, they do.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: She has her goldfish pond, well, she has another pond
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: that's just empty. She's gonna do more goldfish. But now
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: that I'm doing the guppy things.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: She's like, I'm holding off, so.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: She's going to go for the guppies.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: D Does it work? Does this work for mosquitos?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Absolutely yes. As as a matter of fact, so you
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: mentioned goldfish, I was going to ask you about this
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and at the farm troughs. The ranch Troughs an old
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: family place in Yokum, which is not too far from
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Corpus area. My ancestors used to put goldfish in the good, big,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: old concrete cattle troughs that were underneath the windmills because
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: they would eat the algae and they would eat the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: mosquitos absolutely.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Get out of you.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: And in fact, goldfish whenever they would freeze, we would
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: worry about them. But I mean we had a big
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: freeze one time and that thing was a block of
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: ice and it thought and that fish was fine by
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the by the end of that fish's life, it was
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: probably a foot and a half long, maybe two feet.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It was huge.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: I Mean, when there's a whole story about like pest
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: control strategy, they're like Mosquitos, They're like they have this
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: new thing about what Hey, here's a reason why mosquitos
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: love some people more than others.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, right.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: And it turns out the reason is like the stuff
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: you have on your skin, right, your skin bacteria and
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: the chemicals you release are like some of us just
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: drive mosquitoes crazy. And maybe this data will help us
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: design a mosquito repellent that actually works.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Because Deep's not working anymore. No, the deep stuff for mosquito.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I saw a story about this a couple of weeks ago.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Deep is actually in certain mosquito populations become an attractant
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: for mosquitoes because they are associating it with the presence
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: of blood.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: See oh, because they know, like, if you're wearing this,
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: if I just bite through it, yeah, I'm gonna get
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: to that sweet sweet juice.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: If I can get sweet, sweet human juice, I.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Can get the gas mask on over my I just.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Got to get it through the skin. Then then we're
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: good to go.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: And they figure it out because nature is terrifying. This
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: is trash research number one. Because if you ever met
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: someone that doesn't get bit by mosquitos, I ask you don't,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't have a problem with them.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: On a rare occasion, I'll get a mosquito bite. Wow,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: my daughters, Oh, man, they love them, dude.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: Mosquitos are one attracted to me. Two I'm severely allergic
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: to them.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: So if they bite me and I even touch it
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: or breathe on it, it turns in this giant well
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: thing and it's the side turns the size.
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: Of a quarter. Alert to mosquitos severely, My.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Youngest her bites would welt up like that too.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: Everywhere.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: You're living in the wrong place.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: For that, no kidding, good lord, especially down there on
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the coast.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: But look, we're talking about like we need to do
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: something to custom you know, uh mosquito spray.
• 28:04

• 28:27
  Speaker 1: like most bird baths. These are places still that water collects,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: you know, And and that's how mosquitoes breed as much

  Speaker 6: I don't know why. That is not leading science on
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: how we can abolish them.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: We say that, but if you got rid of every mosquito,
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: something would go wrong, something would.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Go Oh, there'd be less diseases spread.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Of course, let an animal on the planet.
• 28:57

• 29:05
  Speaker 5: food like exactly, they you know, something that eats mosquitos

• 30:12
  Speaker 8: Soccer team opened the twenty twenty six campaign and Bobby
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: Shuttleworth's head coaching eraro with a two to one victory
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: over the Rice Owls. Head coach Bobby Shuttleworth recap the match.
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: I thought tough opponent. I thought, you know, they're very direct,
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: put things into our box, caused us a lot of problems.
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: I think as a team, you know, we gotta grow.
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: You know, there are quite a few things we need
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: to work on, and we had good moments today, but
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: I think, you know, as a.
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: Whole, we've got quite a bit of work to do.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: I feel as if any any game, you know, we're
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: obviously desperate to win and need need to show that
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: on the field, so you know, I think the approach
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: doesn't change regardless of which.
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: Game it is.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: During the match, Trinity Buchanan accounted for both Aggie goals,
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: including the game winner on a penalty kick in the
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: eightieth minute. It marked her second career brace and her
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: first in the maroon and white You can and met
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: with the media following the match to talk about her
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: performance and scoring the game winning penalty kick.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: Felt good. Definitely felt good to get the win.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: Definitely couldn't have like do without everyone. So they set
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: me up for great opportunities and I was able to capitalize.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: So if I remember correctly, Riley was the one that
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: won in the box. That was great. She attacked the
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: ball and got that opportunity for me.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: Nerves a little bit, but I was excited to capitalize
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: and score that goal and celebrate with my teammates. Up next,
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: the Aggies continue on the road when they traveled to Waco,
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: Texas for Sunday Nights seven thirty contest against the Baylor Bears.

  Speaker 8: With Aggie Volleyball making its return to Red Arena this
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: week with its annual Maroon and White Scrimmage on the

  Speaker 8: rallying a three to one win over the White team.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Head coach Jamie Morrisons shared thoughts on the scrimmage.
• 31:50
  Speaker 12: It's the one match that I got to kind of
• 31:52
  Speaker 12: sit back, observe, let my coaches coach a little bit
• 31:54
  Speaker 12: and really see what's going on, and I think encourage.
• 31:57
  Speaker 12: I think the one thing is you put on a uniform.
• 31:58
  Speaker 12: And I just talked to the team about this. It's
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: a little different than practice, and I thought we started
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: off it kind of felt not robotic, but like a
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: jerkey with the word that I use, and I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: I got smooth. I think we started competing by the
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: fourth set. Might I just said the next time we
• 32:11
  Speaker 12: put on that uniform, we need to start where we
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: left off and just keep going with that as time
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: goes on.
• 32:15

• 33:07
  Speaker 13: So it's been amazing. Obviously he's a quarterback coach only,
• 33:12
  Speaker 13: so I have a lot more time with him. He
• 33:14
  Speaker 13: still has to be in you know, obvious staff meetings
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: with the offense, but he has a lot more time
• 33:18

• 35:41
  Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure one hundred percent believed that we were
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: going to lose gravity for seven seconds yesterday, and everyone
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: was trying to figure out how they were going to
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: tie themselves down and make sure.

  Speaker 5: moved past intellectual elitism, post intellectual elitism, in the United
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: States of America. Now we're entering a new phase. In
