As a proud Texan with family roots dating back to the 1800s, I can’t think of a bigger embarrassment of an elected official than Ted Cruz. This guy is not one of us.
Tomorrow is a very difficult day for our family. We are saying goodbye to our darling Clementine. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog. Adopting her was one of the best decisions in life. If you are considering a pet, please adopt. ❤️
I was born in Dallas, TX. This is my home and will probably be for the rest of my life. Dirk has made me and countless others so very proud to be from this incredible city. It was a true pleasure being able to cover his career at the station. No other place I’d rather be.

Today is 19 years working at The Ticket. Exactly half my life now. It’s pretty cool I get to say I work with some truly great people at the best radio station in the country. Can’t thank you enough for listening.

18 years ago today I was 19, single, had more hair, long sideburns, enrolled in junior college, had no clue, and was somehow hired by America's favorite radio station. It's been a true honor to be a small part of this incredible place.
If you are denouncing your fandom from a team or sport because you feel inconvenienced because the team or sports you like are supporting an anti hate movement it appears you have bigger issues than the team or sport.
So I watched two women put a cart on a grass patch in the parking lot at Target earlier today. I promptly walked over, took it, and told her I’d walk it the 20 yards to the cart rack. The driver gave me a dirty look. If you are the type of person that does this regularly - don’t.
I realize it’s not the Musers as you know it, but it’s been a real blast filling in for Junes the past few weeks. Can’t thank you enough for dealing with me. Looking forward to a fun Friday presentation and things will return to normalcy Monday.

Absolutely stoked to be doing a show with
@CincoDeMino
,
@JustinMonty
,
@TyWalker716
, and
@MattBermingham
. It's been a weird and stressful time these past 6 weeks or so. But know we will do everything in our power to give you the best possible show. Thanks for all the love, P1s.
I love Norm Hitzges. I’m closer to him than a lot of my family members. Working alongside him has been a dream come true. It’s been an emotional few days, but to see the outpouring of love and support from the P1s has been special. I’ll never take for granted what we have here.
As a kid I’d stay up after Rangers games and listen to DiamondTalk. I’d often fall asleep with the radio on listening to

and Hammer. 14 year old me couldn’t have predicted I got to work with the radio icon for nearly 20 yrs at the best station in the country.
We lost Heather 8 years ago today. Hold a thought for her parents and loved ones. Your actions can impact yourself and others for a lifetime. Please don’t drink and drive.

Ticket White Elephant day is a good reminder of just how special our station really is. Does the soul good to see how fired up the P1s get. I’m lucky to work with such good people and feel fortunate to be a small part of it.
JJ Barea isn't a hall of famer and probably isn't getting a number retired, but that dude means a ton to Dallas. He needs a bar or area of the AAC named after him when he's done.
Five hours is a lot and we are all adjusting to the recent departures. Been a stressful month. Just wanted to say thanks for listening if you have these past few weeks. I appreciate y’all.
Had to go see some baseball to get away from the regularly scheduled hellscape. This one actually wants dad to teach her how to keep score. I’ll set the over under at 2.5 innings of it holding her interest and that’s probably too high. Either way, I’m pretty fired up.
I was a junior in high school when Dirk was drafted. Now my kids are freaking out in the living room after he just passed Wilt on the scoring list. This is awesome.
#DirkForever
We work with a ridiculous human. This is Norm and his 308 page draft guide that took nearly 45 minutes to print in the control room. This man killed so many trees today.
I've really liked Cole Hamels with Texas. Thought the deal to get him was outstanding. He helped give us two bonus years of playoffs in an otherwise narrowing window. Great teammate and member of the community. Hope Texas gets something decent back.
I lost one of the most important people I’ll ever know today. I’m not sharing this so you’ll feel sorry. I’m sharing this because she was truly amazing.
Really appreciate y’all tuning into our radio program
@Ticket1to3
. It’s been two months and been a real blast so far. It’s a real privilege to be a small part of the P1s day. Love y’all.
If we had one three day weekend per month our society would be in a much better place. Not facing the weekly crushing of the soul that is a typical Sunday evening is so huge for the collective psyche.
My wife played in the band at TCU with two members of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats who just performed on SNL. She married a dork that has a marginal job on AM radio. She probably has a lot of life regrets.
I’d like to share some things that are weighing heavy on me.
On the 21st of this month will be 10 years since we lost Heather VanHoozer. A careless drunk driver at nearly 3 times the legal limit lost control of his vehicle, crossed a median, and struck my car - killing her.
The 8 year old made all A’s for the entire year. She was also voted class favorite by her peers. She’s an awesome person and I couldn’t be more proud of her.
Greg Abbott gained popularity by doing nothing but filing suits against the Obama admin while he was the Texas AG, which helped him waltz to the Governorship. It’s evident he’s not great. The only club in his bag is playing to his base. None of this is surprising.
So as we all head into this holiday weekend, football season, school year, fall, etc. please remember the actions and decisions of you and those around you can have great and life altering consequences.
Please don’t drink and drive. Let’s be good to one another.

My wonderful grandmother passed away over a month ago. Today we buried her ashes and celebrated her life with the people she loved. She lived better than most.
This may be an unpopular stance, but I think it's okay to not want to "move on" and "turn the page" on what happened yesterday. I think doing that when horrible things happen isn't going to solve anything.
Gonna go meet a dog tomorrow at the SPCA. Not sure I’m totally ready for a new dog, but the rest of the family is. No matter adopting is the way to go.
Heather would’ve been 32 today. She was a nursing student and probably would’ve been helping others through this. Let’s all take care of one another.

Carlos Leal was a genuinely good person. He will definitely be missed by all of us at the station. My heart breaks for his wife and son. Keep them in your thoughts as they move forward.
