I can tell you already because David's been here for the past ninety minutes trying to get to this point in this studio for us to be on the air.
If you wanna call it that, it didn't take that long.
And it goes much smoother when pavement's here because when Mars is here, it's a train wreck.
Mars, you didn't hear that, Mars.
Yes.
He's in the room under the road.
Yeah.
You just That was not nice.
That wasn't nice, but it's okay.
We're not nice.
It wasn't a way through.
Typical progress.
There you go.
David, how are you?
I'm well.
Lack of sleep.
Little bit.
Yeah.
So David, as you know, we've talked about this before.
David is the chief bottled washer in the engineering department for a group of radio stations here in the Houston area.
He's the head of That has absorbed more radio stations.
Hey, David.
Let me sum it up for you in just one little action this morning.
And they're kinda Summit all entire day.
Yeah.
I mean, every yes.
You guys have now.
I have five.
He and your six, including this one, and you're moving.
Yes.
Screen moving some studios over upgrading hardware, software, all of that.
Kenny left over request.
That's why we use you here.
So I know you know how to Let's ask David about how it went when he hit the button for some new programming software to integrate all the stations.
How did that go for you, David?
Yeah.
We're we're off the air.
All night came on.
Like, oh my god.
What's what happened?
Mars.
Was Mars there?
Yeah.
I saw around the corner with the cable in his hand.
Yeah.
Don't know.
I could order new tables for that.
Wow.
We should have a let's get to Vernon so they can get a We sharded up.
We should have a great show today, and we invite you to stay tuned.
Three hours of the show, and, of course, we're on every every ditch little outlet.
I think that there is -- Forty countries.
-- forty countries worldwide.
Alright.
So Vernon will have Northside Mustang club in the Gullow Ford Club Cruise that's about to take place.
Good morning to you, Vernon.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Well, thank you so much for joining us morning.
I know you have nothing to do.
You probably got a whole load of cars out in the parking lot ready for this cruise.
And behind the camera this morning is our good friend Randy welded.
Randy And so we appreciate both of you guys talking to us this morning.
There's Randy.
So Verint, tell me about this.
Is this an annual event?
Is this first of its kind or what?
No.
This is this is actually our our second one.
We did this last year.
Actually, this is going to be our fifth cruise of the year now.
We we we are big in the cruises and and getting our members out there and and have a little bit of fun.
Well, I sure hope that you bring with you.
The air conditioning guy.
Because if anybody loses air conditioning today, they're gonna be down and out.
That that's what we got Randy for.
Randy welded.
Randy's good for something, and that's a good thing for him to be good of.
Yeah.
We got Yeah.
I am NBA C certified.
Alright.
Well, that's good to know.
And he's got a big jug of free on in the back of the card and we're ready to go.
So where are you guys going today?
We're gonna hand over to Anderson to the Crocs County courthouse.
And we're gonna travel through the downtown one zero five around up the seventeen seventy four over there and then take a few pictures.
I mean, it's a beautiful courthouse, and then we're gonna need some there and head into the National Forest and wind, you know, wind around through there and get up to Huntsville where we're gonna take the time to eat lunch.
And then we'll finish up there and head on over to the Texas prison museum.
Before we head on back.
So, you know, there's there seems to be a lot of jails and prisons and incarcerations going on in this tour.
The courthouse, there in Grimes County, I believe, has a jail in the upstairs of that facility, and you're gonna wind up at the prison museum.
And I think they're the walls unit.
I think that the old sparky is in there.
I was gonna say who's testing old sparky?
It isn't it.
I'm I'm definitely supposedly, there's a there's a a letter in there from Bonnie and Clyde when he sent it to Ford saying that how much he appreciated the car that Ford built, even though that he knows mister Ford didn't appreciate the kind of business he was in.
Well, how fun I did not know that.
Is that where that original letter is?
Mhmm.
That's why I understand that the letter is.
I'll be praising the flathead Ford v eight.
Well, it was an accomplishment that carries on today.
Yes.
And not in the flat head form, but it's certainly the v eight was a a a true game changer as as it were.
So how many people are gonna go on this cruise?
We've got we've got twenty one people that are headed on, you know, beyond the cruise.
Now that's twenty one vehicles.
We'll have you know, so we can end up with, you know, forty eighty plus people.
And then also have a hundred and twenty seven at our interested and so we know how many of those are gonna show up.
Well, as this is strictly a Mustang thing, No, sir.
This is open to all car enthusiasts no matter what you drive.
This is how this is to have fun with the whole community You you can bring your Chevy, your Dodge, your import.
We'd rather you drive the Ford Mustang, but It's open to everybody.
So listen, they could always trade in and buy a new Mustang from Gilo.
Well, the the only other thing that I can think of is that there's probably going to be a lot of No's thumbing going on up and down the the the the track today.
Correct.
There was.
Alright.
What kind of what kind of car do you have?
Well, I've I've got a sixty seven Fastback Mustang I don't have this on the cruise, but we I also have or my wife has.
I better correct that.
She's got the o six converted Mustang that looks like a sixty seven Fastback.
Oh, wow.
Tribute cars, those aren't two.
How close is that?
Yeah.
They're they're they're heavy to the dealers.
I mean, that's for the dealers.
I didn't You know, I've seen them?
I I well, I I don't those if I have if I have, I didn't recognize I think we saw them down when we were at the aviation museum in Ellington field.
They were kinda parked right out the front door to the left.
The guy had the sixty seven tribute cars.
So there's a a front end change that's very much sixty seven ish and then the back end Nice conversion.
How fun I guess I just didn't recognize it or know it.
Do they still sell these conversions?
Yes.
They do.
So I can I can buy a new Mustang and have it convert it and have it look like a sixty seven?
They're they're converting o fives to two thousand fourteen's.
O fives to fourteen's.
New powertrain, classic body style.
I love it.
That's pretty cool.
Yep.
But they do that also for other manufacturers as well.
Well, I was gonna say, I think that Camaro is into that.
Camaro and Transan.
Yeah.
This is a Mustang event.
I don't want you to talk about the mullet head.
But he said you could bring that right, Martin.
You could bring anything to work.
Jeff wants to bring -- Right.

Out of Dallas, we've got a sixty six Nova common, a fifty five nomad.

We're we're gonna be setting up some dark ports.
And we're gonna put Randy in front of the dark one.
Well, that's always a good time.
Alright.
Well, I'm gonna let you guys go.
It's eight fifteen.
You got fifteen minutes to get the cars on the road and start your day long trip around the Sam Houston National Forest, basically.
And they're gonna wind up in Huntsville in the penitentiary.
We've got a we've got a couple more of these cruises planned for the rest of the year too.
Another one coming up in September gonna be heading over to Schulenberg.
Well, that'd be good.
Alright.
And it's an open open cruise so anybody can go on there.
Vernon?

Alright.
The in real time race card is sponsored by Texas, nostalgia, modified, production.
Mhmm.
NHRA this weekend is at Kansas.
Erika qualified second so far.
Right.
Just by tick.
Got two more rounds of qualifying to Behind Greg Anderson.
So pretty excited about it.
And then next weekend there at Brainerd in the zoo, Oh my god.
And then the Labor Day weekend is always the big go.
The US nationals at Indianapolis.
And then September fourteenth at Maple Grove as they as they start the countdown.
Wow.
The countdown ends at US nationals.
And then the the finals for the national championship begin at Maple Grove.
NASCAR is at the Indy Road course this weekend, so they go and reverse through the Indy Road course And then next weekend, they're at Watkins Glen, so they do two road courses back to back.
I saw a promo on last weekend's IndyCar race, which was very good by the way.
That so, I guess, today is IndyCar and tomorrow is NASCAR.
Correct?
Add Indian App.
Add Indian App.
Add any run-in the road course.
Run-in the road course.
That I mean, what'd be a great week.
What a ticket?
What a ticket.
Years ago, they used to have when it was the Bush series and the IRL would run on a Saturday at the same track because I've been any of those events.
Well, and then it would run the NASCAR Cup or the Winston Cup.
I had no clue.
Well, it sounds really good.
What else?
And then Formula one, the big game of next August twenty seventh is the Dutch Grand Prix and then the Italian Grand Prix.
Forget about it is the ninth or the third of September.
Hempson on eight August twenty seventh is at Virginia International Raceway, and IndyCar this weekend is at Indy Road Course and then on the twenty seventh third Gateway around the St.
Louis area.
So that's racing.
Is that gonna be, like, a downtown race, do you know?
No.
No.
No.
It's gonna be a circle track race.
That those cars really I mean, I'm a circle track.
No.
Indianapolis, okay.
That's one thing.
But some they're all that mile and a half high banked and they're going way too fast.
Way too fast.
Mhmm.
And they you don't remember a few years ago, they were supposed to run at Dallas -- Texas.
Yeah.
-- at Texas, and they canceled it because they were too fast and they thought the drivers didn't wanna run unsafe.
Well, remember, the guy got killed in Las Vegas, had his head cut off because the the Dan welded went up into the fence because they were going too fast.
It's not.
Those cars are nothing but fast.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's fast because the engine, but it's also fast because the aerodynamics.
Correct.
And when one of them fails.
Bad bad things.
Bad things.
Bad things.
Yeah.
So that's the race car.
Don, back to you.
I think that they all should be road courses.
Either street courses or actual road courses like up in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Elkkosh.
Road America.
What a wonderful track that is.
Yeah.
Remember, I remember I always used to love watching Riverside for NASCAR.
Mhmm.
And that was a great track, kinda weird out doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Except It's not a very good part of town.
Alright.
Mister Zikin is back.
Yep.
And he always has a feature for us this week.
It's automotive calendars.
And how many automotive calendars have you bought in your allotted time?
The calendar was first invented thirty one hundred BC was the first calendar.
Well, will it start to work on cars there?
Was it I didn't know it was BC because they it was on the calendar.
They checked it off.
So the you know, I'll get into this, and then we're gonna show some what my version of a calendar would be for twenty twenty four.
Is it like a rock?
Is it But calendars, again, way back and and my version, this is about the time of the year where you get that information and you plug in all those pretty pictures of cars and bikes and all that other stuff.
But the first Photo of a car was invented by Karl Benz in Manheim Germany, the first appearance on the Manheim streets of Germany, who had video of this?
No.
No.
Because Yeah.
We have man high steamroller music.
We are horrible.
The pictures are sensitive for trademark.
So I couldn't pull those up.
It wouldn't wouldn't go through.
So that's why we don't have anybody.
But eighteen eighty three is the first one.
The first color photograph was taken in nineteen o six of a girl in front of a nineteen o two Renault.
And her father's truck, her father's car, French.
Was it called the Oolala?
No.
But her name was Suzanne Demur.
And she was the daughter of Louis Lemir.
And it was his own Renault, an eight eight horsepower car, and he did it for Who knew?
Four photograph.
So Oh, Renault knew Renault knew So that's where the calendars started.
And this actually is my version of a twenty twenty four calendar check this out.
These are the January through February.
There you go.
There's the first one.
Oh, I a January No.
It's it's a Jaguar on fire.
Yeah.
It's it's it's it's that's January.
And then here we got February coming up.
There was a good night.
Let's see from Here's February.
No longer.
Is that another attest?
Well, it's I this is electric, and there's another one that's as Mark -- Where's Mark?
-- is But it's a good one.
There you go.
These cars are all on fire if you're just listening and these cars are burning to the ground.
There's one.
That that is good April, I believe.
That's April.
And of course, my month for me would be this one, you know, you're out in front of the house and you look out and boom your cars on fire.
The fire department pulls up and you're going, what's a big hub up?
About wait a minute.
That's my car.
And I think there's a Porsche, and then I think there's a a Range Rover behind it.
No flames or any no one was hurt in any of these.
So there you go.
There's a good one there.
That's a good one.
I think that's June.
That's that's June.
There's there's August.
But it goes on.
So these were my my collection of what calendar shit look like.
Well, that one, there's burning down the tree.
Twenty four.
There you go.
I love it.
Yep.
What it You know you just said any of your amazons by Walmart.
Here's what I'm thinking.
This is that we'll all chip in ten bucks a piece.
Give you enough money to go and get these published.
Publisher app.
Yeah.
And so yeah.
It'll be the in wheel time twenty twenty four wall calendar.
Yeah.
You you can send off and get calendars created.
Oh, yeah.
You can.
You can't.
Yeah.
Well, there are the pictures.
Yeah.
So that time of year to get all that information into your publisher and all that stuff to to do that.
Mhmm.
What a great idea, David?
Harbq.
Harbq.
Harbq.
Harbq.
And there you go.
EVQ.
And maybe, by the way, and I've got a story about it.
That big ship, they're thinking, imagine this, that it was an electric car that caused the big fire.
That ruined But the one I did report on, the four thousand cars that were on the carrier.
Oh, wow.
And it seemed as though and I'll read the story but it seems that though they put the electric cars up on the top shelf in the in the ship.
Mhmm.
Well, down it went through the they're gonna have change their way.
They're gonna have to do them in submarines, so it's easy to put them out.
Just pull the plug.
Either they'll have them implode.
Yep.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That was kind of sensitive.
Wasn't it?
Wasn't it?
I didn't mean to be a sensitive Well, do you know that there there was a there was a pool on the Titanic?
One one of the swimming pools.
