Houston

104.1 KRBE.

Good morning, Houston, Texas.

Good morning.

It is Friday.

Like, how did y'all control who was coming in and coming out of Ground Zero? Because everyone wanted to be hands-on and help, but nobody really knew." She goes, "I was the badge.

I was the one that had to clear you to get through the Ground Zero area." I mean, she has really amazing stories.

And apparently, I learned this today from her, she's not the only one that worked in the New York area during that horrific time in our history that has moved to the Houston area.

There's a lot of people.

Hey.

I did, I did see a bumper sticker that said, "Happiness is Houston in my rear view mirror." [laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs] It's going the other way.

Victoria, what brought you to, uh, Houston, the Houston area from living in New York for so long?

Oh, well, common sense.

[laughs]

Okay.

Yes.

It wasn't until 9:03 AM, which is 8:03 AM Houston time, that everybody instantly knew at the same time this is not an accident.

And then you hear about DC, and then you hear about Pennsylvania.

Well, for the longest time we all thought it was just a tiny commuter plane that went into the first building and it was an accident.

It's time for What's Going Down in H-Town on the Rula Show with Eric.

104.1 KRBE.

It's brought to you by Mob Auto Boutique, and a lot of people have been texting through the morning at 37530, "How can I be involved in something today to commemorate 9/11 25 years ago?" Well, the City of Houston's 25th Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony is at 10:00 AM at Lorden- at Lauren's Garden in Market Square Park.

That's at 301 Milam Street.

And there are certain... on that, Prop, there are certain match-ups that that dynamic and that mismatch is, is evident.

We're gonna talk about one of them a bit later, of course, with the Houston D up against Buffalo, right? And, and, and it's fair to say with everything that the Patriots and Drake May accomplished last season, of course a Bills offense that has a better quarterback and is, and is by all accounts a more rounded unit, the Texans have their number a lot of the time, so maybe that's what we're seeing.

Maybe this is a, uh, this is one of those, one of those edges.

It kind of bleeds into the other game.

All right.

So let's get down to business.

Um, I wanna start, seeing as we teased it a bit earlier, Houston, Buffalo.

Because as I alluded to, Houston, uh, amongst the teams most effective in handling Josh Allen in recent seasons.

They did...

You know, they spent more of their, their, uh, their high rep, high volume rep stuff in the joint practices with Jacksonville and Houston.

And when the Houston Texans came to Charlotte for week three of the preseason, Carolina's fourth preseason game, the ones went against the ones in that joint practice, and Freeling got worked.

Now, the Texans' front four, front seven, arguably really, really good and maybe amongst the best in the league.

So that was kind of a baptism by fire.

Uh, there's a few games that I kind of wanted to highlight.

Buffalo, Houston, we were talking about it earlier.

Yeah, me, I-

You wanna go there? Yeah, go ahead.

Do it

...

Josh Allen crack the frustrating case of the Texans and that defense in Houston.

'Cause we all know the record heading in.

Going to be doing it at Deadwood, at Wild West Hacking Fest in Deadwood.

I'll be doing it at CyberSecCon next week in Houston.

I'll be doing it in Kansas City at the Elevate IT event next Thursday.

I'm doing it Saturday at Tampa Bay.

Did anybody who had 23 minutes on the over-under on how long it would take before I showed you my book? So anyway, cool.

Well, hopefully we'll see you there again, Tom.

If not, I will be at B-Sides Tampa, CyberSecCon in Houston, Elevate IT in Kansas City, B-Sides Orlando.

I'll be going to the NMFTA.com. which is with Ben Wilkins, his trucking cybersecurity conference at the end of the month.

All of the stories that came out last week or all the stories that people have shared, she would take, you know, when when I will always love you.

Whitney Houston's cover made so much money.

She reinvested all of those residuals back into black communities.

You know, she famously paid for a black school's marching band uniforms every year, and the kids never knew who was buying it for them.

Then she does a song called, I believe it's called Because I'm a Woman, where the song is basically like, look, you want to marry a virgin, but you've had sex before we were married too, and that's fine for you.

Why is it not fine for me? Because I'm a woman.

She really was like... pushing the envelope of feminism you know in the late 60s through her country music and yeah and she would do things like but one of my favorite stories is that you know and I feel like I feel not to jump way the fuck ahead in this movie but I feel like there is still a swath of folks who don't know that before Whitney Houston and the bodyguard it was Dolly Parton who's saying I will always love you She recorded the song.

She wrote it in 73 as a tribute to her longtime business partner, Porter Wagner, when they were going their separate ways.

The White Sox hit their high watermark of nine games over .500 at the end of August.

And in September, they are 3-6, which started with, and this was after their series win at the Twins, losing 3-4 in Houston.

And look, I'll get to this in a little bit.

Then they win 2-3 from the Twins, and then they get swept by the Pirates.
