Rick ThomasHOST
What does actually exist is a long record, long video evidence, long printed evidence of the man trashing border security.
Rick ThomasHOST
And in fact, back in 2019, he complained to the Austin Chronicle about the money that Texas was spending defending its southern border.
Rick ThomasHOST
He is quoted as saying, we're also sending about $800 million per biennium to the border with Mexico for increased border security.
Rick ThomasHOST
He said that he had other plans for that money.
Sean PryorHOST
[laughs]
AJ VensHOST
Austin Chronicle, Marc Savlov, "A slam bang sci-fi actioner.
AJ VensHOST
Relentlessly paced and edited with a pounding soundtrack and some ingenious aliens courtesy of Bernie W- Wrightson, uh, and KNB FX." Um, down at the bottom here, guys, the Chicago Tribune, uh, "All the young actors, especially Joshua Hartnett as the misunderstood, [laughs] misunderstood drug dealer, deliver fine performances in their diverse group, uh, which forms a kind of humor equivalent to..." Another movie I won't say yet.
Sean PryorHOST
Okay.
Sarah HepolaGUEST
Breakfast tacos.
Sarah HepolaGUEST
I, I would, this is, I ro- I worked at The Austin Chronicle, which is an alternative news weekly that started in the '80s, but like by the '90s was like in high cotton.
Bridget PhetasyHOST
Mm-hmm.
Sarah HepolaGUEST
Like they were so cool, and they were for the longest time owned and run and still run by one of the original owners.
Bridget PhetasyHOST
We're all insane now.
Bridget PhetasyHOST
[laughs]
Sarah HepolaGUEST
So, um, so anyway, but the breakfast taco lady used to come into the lobby at The Austin Chronicle, and the woman that was at the desk would come on and she would say, "Breakfast tacos in the lobby.
Sarah HepolaGUEST
Delicious, hot, piping breakfast tacos," and they were a dollar.
Nick ReedHOST
Fox News Digital noted that in fact, when...
Nick ReedHOST
And this was from a 2019 interview with The Austin Chronicle.
Nick ReedHOST
Texas was debating the budget, and they were debating the allocation of $800 million over a two-year period to border security, and Talarico was at the time arguing that th- that should be zero, that that should go to other things, that there should be $0 allocated to border security.
Nick ReedHOST
When the defense, your only defense you have for your candidate is that, "Well, no, he's just a liar, that, that, that's why he says that stuff," that doesn't, that doesn't speak well for you.
Alan SandersHOST
You know, when Joe Biden was in office, sorry, had a little mind blank there.
Alan SandersHOST
2019 interview with the Austin Chronicle.
Alan SandersHOST
We know, James, you said you would rather take Texas's $800 million border security budget.
Alan SandersHOST
And instead of having border security, you said that should go right into public education and said, well, you call that that border spending was simply political grandstanding.
Pat MacDONALDGUEST
And apparently that one song on that tape got the attention of Carlos Grasso, who was the creative director at IRS.
Pat MacDONALDGUEST
And he really liked that one song that we did, which was a kind of a... we thought of it as a medley because part of it was original but part of it was a cover of muddy waters song i just want to make love to you but it was kind of a afro groove version of it you know and uh carlos really loved that song he was with irs records he was one of the people who were going to pick bands to be on the show and anyway we're coincidentally we're uh going around town postering for our gig at the texas roadhouse And I'm at the wheel of the van and Barbara gets out and goes into the Austin Chronicle offices to give them a poster.
Pat MacDONALDGUEST
And Carlos Grasso happened to be there, met Barbara, saw the poster.
Pat MacDONALDGUEST
So he says, I'm coming to your gig tonight.
LeBron HugginsHOST
You don't have to do all the information on your own.
LeBron HugginsHOST
If you're in the Austin, Texas, area, you can look at the Austin Chronicle.
BJ BurgessHOST
Mm-hmm.
LeBron HugginsHOST
They have their elections and, and endorsements on there, and I always check their endorsements to kind of read why they are saying yes to a person and why they're saying no to a person.
NiallHOST
Yeah.
ColinHOST
Uh, Time Out said, "Julia, in his final role, hams it up shamelessly as the camp commandant, but not even his suave presence and throwaway quips can save this noisy, brainless mess." Austin Chronicle said, "It's hard to give a damn one way or the other about Street Fighter.
ColinHOST
It's so thin and an errant sneeze might topple this, topple this glossy house of cards." Uh, did Roger Ebert review this? I'm sure he did.
NiallHOST
100 from Roger Ebert.
Tim LeagueGUEST
And so a couple things happened pretty early.
Tim LeagueGUEST
Um, you know, the, the folks at the Austin Chronicle were very kind and wrote about our events, and the, the midnight movie programming worked pretty quickly.
Tim LeagueGUEST
And then about three weeks into operation, uh, Austin Powers, the first one, hit the second-run market.
Guy RazHOST
Uh-huh.
Luke BurbankHOST
That is all gonna be happening next week on the show, so don't miss it.
Luke BurbankHOST
In the meantime, our musical guest this week was awarded Songwriter of the Year by the Austin Chronicle, recognizing his contributions to the music scene in Austin, Texas, as you might have guessed.
Luke BurbankHOST
NPR calls him the ever-moody innovator of Americana, which, um, I feel like I trust NPR's read on things that are moody.
Luke BurbankHOST
They know that.
