  Speaker 4: your your actual age, because you'll get to a point.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I honestly i've forgotten too at this point, like within

• 4:43
  Speaker 4: texts me or something, you're dead. Wait, wait, what do
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: you talk? Or a coworker will say something and I'm no,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: it's oh, no, it is.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: I'm a year older today.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: The second thing is, and this varies, but I I
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: it is a male female thing because I'm gonna go
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Riley does not strike me as.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: The birthday month type.

• 5:15
  Speaker 6: didn't really care.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I asked you yesterday. I said, why don't you just
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: take Monday off? Make it a three day weekend for
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: your birthday? It's like, I can't take my birthday off?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: What's that about? What's happening?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Like when you can there's no law against it so.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Much because of my two surgeries, and I feel like
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: bad missing Monday, honestly, And I don't know. I feel
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: like with upcoming months and everything kind of going on
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: in my life, if I were to get sick or something,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: i'd rather be like, give a good reasoning behind why
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I'm actually missing work other than I don't want to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: show up on Monday morning because it's my birthday.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Like, that's a really bad excuse.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: She's missing the obvious one here, which is she would
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: miss doing the show with us too much. She hasn't.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that was next on your list.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: If you had to spend a birthday doing anything, wouldn't
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: you want to spend your birthday waking up at three
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: in the morning, coming in and seeing our dusty faces.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: That's hey, I don't get here at three in the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: morning anymore. I get here at four on the dot.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Now technically no sleep in until about now.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: The only thing I really want, honestly, and all of
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the grand scheme of everything, is just to sleep in.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: That's the only part of the birthday I.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Would want to celebrate is Oh, yeah, I get to
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: sleep in till eight.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: That's that is that is a gift anytime you can
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: get it, which is again why I said like there
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: is nothing wrong, which is being like, hey, you know what,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: it's my birthday.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I'm not doing it now.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Some people, some people want you to actively avoid their birthday,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: which is a whole other thing.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: You'll wink down Info Nation. That just my birthdays. It's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: just not a big deal. In more, I've kind of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: downplayed it over the years. It's a day.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's at least, but if I say
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: happy birthday to you, you're not.

  Speaker 3: I was very impressed when I first when I first
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: had him, I said him to take I'm like, all right.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: Let's see if he's actually gonna do what he's supposed
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: to do. Set him in. The first thing he does
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: is go straight after one. I was impressed. I sat
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: there for like twenty minutes and watch him do it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: He just said, he said, all right, let's go.
• 8:20

  Speaker 1: effective assassin snail.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: There are a two.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: There is an easier solution to your to your guppy
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: overload problem.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I looked up recipes. I couldn't find it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: No no, no, okay, no no no no no, I'm
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: talking about gets something. I'm talking about getting getting a
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: hired gun. That's way more, way more famous than an
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: assassin snail. Oh really, that's a piranha.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: A piranha would do the trick.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Piranha would get it done.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: Are you allowed to have piranhas in Texas? I thought
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: they were illegal?
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Question?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no idea question. You should probably look
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that one up. But I'm not sure if you are
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: allowed to have them in Pennsylvania.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: How you would even pull this off? I don't know where.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: An eight year old boy fishing at Ridley Park Lake
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: at a park pulled in a piranha, a red bellied paranha,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: legitimate piranha. His name is Semas Coffee. He was fishing
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with his father, Michael Line baited with hot dogs. If
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you're looking for you're looking, well that's what God is. Yeah,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that's what got it. You're looking for the proper piranha bait.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It's a hot dog.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Bit slightly better than chopping off a finger and attaching it, I.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Guess, which would be effective as well, but make it
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: hard to reel in.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Here's here's dad and the kids. It was like clodown, dude,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: you might lose it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It looks like something we haven't caught before.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh, it's like a bluego I.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Don't know what this is, and he said, it's a piranha.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: How'd you know it was a pirana?
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: Because I like you too, We've had some crazy fishing experiences.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: But that's definitely number one. How do you know it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a piranha?
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: YouTube?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Because I watched you two, it'd be real.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: How'd you know it's a piranha is the most unnecessary
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: question when you actually see a piranha.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: No, I've never held one in my head. I don't
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: need it, never caught one.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: That wouldn't need to get it that close to my hand.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: They have the very nasty tea, very pronounced teeth.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: So where I don't know if y'all look this up,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: you know puranas. Obviously you're not supposed to be where
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: he caught this, right?
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: They native? Where are they? The Amazon? Yeah?
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: The the like the South American countries. I mean, I'm
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: sure you could probably have a piranha habitat.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: I bet they probably smuggled him in.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That's actually a thing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, that if for real? Is so the
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: They asked like, oh, how would.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: A piranha get into a pond in in Pennsylvania well,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: someone had it as a pet and obviously just tossed
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: But you know that because yeah, that's.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: The only way someone had a tank of piranhas or
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: a single piranha because they thought it was cool to
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: have a piranha, which I guess. You know, look, I can't.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie like if I had a fish
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: tank full of piranhas behind.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Me the Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio. They are not
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: allowed to be owned in Texas, Florida, California, or Arizona.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Imagine someone started getting loose in Florida.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that would that would be bad. But that's I mean,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I guess they figure those states that it's legal that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it gets too cold and the prana won't.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Sir exactly, it'll solve itself.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But then nature happens, live vault finds a way, and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: then we've got cold weather piranhas, which.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Is just put it on calci y'all right, coming soon
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: to a to a northern state near youth. Reasons to

  Speaker 3: Today's National Color Book Day celebrates just sitting down with
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: a stress free coloring book and filling it in.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: You can do it as a kid or an adult.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Love a good coloring book as an adult is becoming
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: frequently more popular.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Apparently the Marines that set that up. What No, it's
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a joke in the military, people say Marines like to color.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: It's also National Dreamsicle Day. It honors the classic summer
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: treat made of vanilla ice cream in case with a
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: orange flavored Sherbert shell.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: I do not like this.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I was a huge Dreamsicle creamsicle whatever you call it
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: fan as a kid. As an adult, I have tried
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to rekindle that with the resurgence of things like Dreamsicle
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: martinis and I can't eat the ice cream, but the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Dreamsicle martinis. I had a Dreamsicle beer then I picked up. Yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that's exactly the way.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: It's horrible mistake. So it's similar to you. You'd like
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: it as a kid and you try him again as
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: an adult. It's like this in Land or what.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: So, when I was younger, I used to eat Dreamsicles
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: quite frequently, and then a couple of months ago I
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: actually got one just to try it out, and it
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: was terrible, and I don't like them at all anymore.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's changed. I don't know if my
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: taste buds have changed. They've changed the recipe of what
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: they're putting in there, but now it's less orange and
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: more like just a frothy taste, feeling like you can't
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: even really taste the.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Orange is less dream more simple. Yeah, right, See what
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: happened As we were driving over to Oxford. We stopped
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: at a burger King and they had some sort of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: dreamsickle drink there, And I mean it wasn't my choice
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to stop there. I was like, well, I'll give this
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a try. One sip and I was done. Done?
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Did I Did I expect such a violent reaction?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's not good. It ruined all my childhood memories. Wow. Yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I think I'm traumatized. I think I should probably should
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: probably institute instigate some litigation on it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: You might be entitled with some compensation probably after an
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: experience like that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: It's also National Financial Awareness date or does everyone take
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: a step back and review financial finance personal finance?
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Good luck with that?
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: A step back or a step off the cliff.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Well, on top of that, it's also National Social Security Day.
• 13:49

• 14:08
  Speaker 1: have gotten tattoos removed? Yeah, I've known somebody that's gotten
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: one changed. I'm not sure about a complete movie.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you one exception to this rule, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: that is if you went to prison and you ended
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: up with like prison tattoos and you got on the
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: outside and you're like, you know, hey, look I did
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: what I had to do inside, but I don't want
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to be a part of that life anymore.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: You got to get these things gone.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: That that is, that is your line. That's the line
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that you've drawn the same thing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Other than that, I I just don't see the point
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: into part of a tattoo is Yeah, it could be great,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: but yet it could be something you you really regret getting,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: you really regret getting or regret yes, exactly. Yeah, but
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: that's that is part of the experience. Everyone who's gotten
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: more than probably five, has one that they're like, I
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: should have thought that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Through a little bit more. Give you some examples.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Are you wait, you're just robing in?
• 15:17

• 15:30
  Speaker 1: cursive and.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: It's live and die on this day? Do you know
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: what that is from? So that this tattoo was a
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: result of me having probably twenty too many natural lights
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and then ending up in the tattoo shop after watching
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: the Liam Niesen movie Geez.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: I don't even remember what it was.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: It was the one where he was stuck in the
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: wilderness like the Arctic something or other and he was
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: chasing he was fighting wolves probably, and I thought I
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: was emotionally moved. I was emotionally moved by this quote.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: And I said, put it across my collarbone. That was
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: probably seventeen eighteen years ago, and on my collarbone it remains,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: and it will remain because I don't believe because the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: story goes away.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: If the tattoo runs away.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: I hear it, and you know I've got you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: I got this one This was a matching tattoo right
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: here where you go, where you go.

• 16:41
  Speaker 5: I still have an ex wife. I still have an
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: ex can't get rid of her. So what am I
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: gonna do? Tattoo remains just.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, all I'm saying is that I think that
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: that you gotta take the back with the good, so
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: I do again.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: There are exceptions to this.

• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Do you think that was to him?
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Well, the bongos, yea, If it was, he would have
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: done it. That's yeah, he's he's he has the ability
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to self depreciate like that. But yeah, and people were,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: people are all amazed. But kaana he's playing the mandolin.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And then somebody pointed out it's one chord.
• 28:20

  Speaker 1: Song just want to meet her?
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: So bad, so bad, just low effort.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't like the song in general. Yeah, it's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: simply because of the message, right, I mean it's all
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: about jealousy of wanting to be this other person. Well,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: if you don't like yourself, change yourself, you know, get
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: just get some self esteem.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see. I can see it because it
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: resonates with I think a lot of people.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely it does.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: There's one feels that way.
• 29:20

• 29:26
  Speaker 3: actually was I was kind of the same bod as you.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: But it's about one Some people are saying it's you
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: want to be in her shoes like one day, Like
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: you're trying to reach that goal of being like her
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: and you're just just not at that point in your aspiration.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, right.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Basically it's got a good beat and you can dance
• 29:44

  Speaker 3: Because I don't have my imagination does not expand as

  Speaker 4: It depends on the situation, like if if if it

  Speaker 4: just there's a whole I don't like meeting people, and
• 31:48

• 32:39
  Speaker 4: something you watch here with this please nine seven nine
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: six nine five sixteen twenty.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Good morning. I'm Riley Blurke you with your morning sports update.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: On sixteen, twenty ninety four or five WTA W, day
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: eight of Aggie football camp.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Is officially in the books.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Quarterback Marcel Read talked about how the first week of
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: practice went for him.
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: Well, one thing, I think I've not turned the ball over,
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: so I think I've done a really good job at that.
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: I think I've done a really good job of just,
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: you know, game managing, making sure that everybody's on the
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: same page, that we get plays off and that we're
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: all doing the same thing and know what our assignments are.
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: Just making sure that the energy is up every single day.
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: You know, it's hot out here. Sometimes we come out
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: in the middle of the day in practice, but we're
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: going to be out here in the heat on these
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: two thirty games, especially when we play Arizona State coming in,
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: we're gonna have some heat. So just get everybody's mind
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: focused on that and making sure that we're practicing through it,
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: pushing through it, keeping everybody uplifted while we're out here
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: is the most important thing.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Offensive lineman Wilkin for Be commented on how the O
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: line has been progressing and if there's any indication on
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: who the five starters might be this upcoming season.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: It's coming along well.
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: This is a unique group from my career, being able
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: to play with guys so many guys who are capable
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: of playing. It's like different lineups every day in practice,
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: every period. But it brings confidence, I'm sure in our
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: coaches and in our offense, when we have so many
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: talented players at each position, our main focus is like
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: practice five, six, seven, eight, like we just haven't. I
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: just think not many people are putting an emphasis on
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: that or a focus on that. I think a big
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: thing is just worrying about how we can improve our
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: game on the last play and on the next play,
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: you know what I mean. It hasn't been a huge thought.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Linebacker Noah mckel also met with the media to talk
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: about how he has improved on the field since transferring
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: into A and M ahead of the start of the season,
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: and why he decided to come to Aggie Land.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: I think there's a few things that go into that.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: And first, it's being intentional, you know, as a linebacker
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: on our defense, I've said this a few times, but
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: there's got to be commanding presence out there, somebody getting
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: the defense set. So I think just that role, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: then just some things that coaches gave me to work
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: on in the spring. You know, just footwork wise has
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: really played into how I've grown as a linebacker this year.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: And then just the physicality piece of it. You know,
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: coaches got his playing really far downhill and you know
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: that's just helping out a lot with my game. I
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: feel like make some good strides to fall. I think
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: I just believed in what Elka was building here. I
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: believed in this coaching staff and saw the you know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: the vision. Really I love the culture here and I
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: think that's that's why you know, I fit in here.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: As of today, we are twenty two days out of
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: seeing the Aggies hit the field and kicking off the
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: start of the twenty twenty sixth season at Kyle Field,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: where A and M will be taking on Missouri State
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: at six o'clock on September fifth. This weekend is a
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: fun scheduling twist for Texas A and M. The A
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: and M soccer team will be playing the Baylor Bears
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: in Waco, Texas, on Sunday night at seven point thirty,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: as well as the A and M volleyball team, who
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: will be playing their first exhibition match of the season
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: against the Bears in Waco at six o'clock. In the
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: MLB last night, the Texas Rangers lost seven to zero
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: to the Los Angeles Angels. Rangers manager Skip Schumacher recapped
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: the game and gave an update on Jacob de Grom
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: leaving the game early last night.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Go in and win tomorrow.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's the only thing you can do.
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: That was as tough as a road trip as you
• 36:02
  Speaker 13: can start out with, and then coupled with you know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: Jacob Dagron coming out of the game tonight, so you know,
• 36:09
  Speaker 13: we we got to figure it out.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Starts with me.
• 36:11
  Speaker 13: I got to start doing something different on the road.
• 36:14
  Speaker 13: In Division especially, we have not been good. We got
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: to switch it up somehow, and I got to think
• 36:18
  Speaker 13: of new new ideas for that to happen, because that
• 36:22
  Speaker 13: series right there just can't happen, and especially where we're at,
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: where we're at in the season, and you know, we
• 36:27
  Speaker 13: got to fight back and starts tomorrow. I didn't tell
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: me anything in the first inning. It was the second
• 36:31
  Speaker 13: inning that he felt it and it wasn't going to
• 36:34
  Speaker 13: risk it. Once I heard the tricep and when Lucky,
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: our trainer, came over and told me that it was,
• 36:39
  Speaker 13: that was kind of it. So you know, hopefully, you
• 36:41
  Speaker 13: know it's nothing huge, but you know, we'll know more
• 36:44
  Speaker 13: and tomorrow.
• 36:44
