Greatest girl ever.

Looking for a last-minute stocking stuffer? Go to www.sucklebusters.com and get some of my San Saba Texas Ranch Rub for beef today!

Brett Shipp and I share one thing in common more than anything else: we've both been around and seen a lot. In all these years, this is the first time we've ever sat down together in front of hot mics with tape rolling. As you might imagine, we have thoughts - starting with three little proposed provisions on Dallas ballots this coming Election Day. We might have to make this a regular thing. Enjoy.

Several people have asked where you can get my new San Saba Texas Ranch rub in Dallas. Answer? As of today, the first store in Big D to carry it: https://www.facebook.com/waltonsgardencenter on Garland Road! A perfect afternoon for a little gardening now...and grilling later. Hurry while it lasts!

I like Tony - but I’ve never met a broadcaster who was good enough to just wing it. You either put in the work or you won’t last long.

In my view, my friend Dean Fearing is as responsible as anyone for putting fine Dallas dining on the map. He's also a wonderful guy who's helped countless charities over the years - and now his family needs our help. Dean's son Campbell is fighting leukemia, and they'll be swabbing cheeks today looking for potential stem cells donors. The site is Lovers Seafood & Market in Dallas, and the time will be from 11 to 4. I'll be dropping by to support the family, and I hope you'll come by too.
