Best radio show, best brewery, best radio station.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
They don't really do radio show anymore.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Oh no, somehow I got knocked out of the brewery category.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Really, we're not even listed in the breweries despite being
second the last two years, not even in the ballot.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Too popular, too popular, wanted it to be close.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh oh, well we were second. I know.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Today I thought we would start with best area attraction.
Uh everyone, get your pen is out, pen.

I got my pen my pen is out. I'm ready,
each of you.
Speaker 4 (01:10):

three that you would vote for, uh huh, and then
we will tally him and whoever has the most we
will know today's category.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
So three points for one, two point three.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
No just total, just top three.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That is an interesting scoring system, but it's more confusing
for the listener.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I know. But okay, I like what you've.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Done, though, I actually do like it. First place three yep,
second two, yeap, third one.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
This is how we'll get points.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
This is area attraction, aerial attractions, area attraction, aerola attractions. Okay,
I have about eleven or twelve nominees. Oh, Texas Motor Speedway,
all right, the Dallas Zoo yep, the sixth floor Museum
(02:04):
at de Ley Plaza.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's fun.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
We're just we're guessing. We're putting in the order of
what our favorites are.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What here's our top three?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Texas Live, State Fair of Texas in Sync Exotics Wildlife
Rescue and Educational Center in ZC.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like, how's that spelled?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Go write it down, Clyde Warren Park, beens like f Science,
the Dallas World Aquarium.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't want to go, prefer Reunion Tower. Hell yeah,
me Wolf and Grapevine God.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I need to go there. Have you been, Kate? I
have been.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
It's more of like an Instagram place, you know what
I mean for the younger kids who just want to
take cool pictures.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Of my homeboy. Did the soundtrack for it? Yeah, like
the music's playing there, quick gray, Okay? Fort Worth Stockyards
six nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Now that you're asking us the place we'd like to
go the most ourselves, or like if we had someone
in town from like, hey, what should I experience while
I'm here?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I would just say, uh, what are your three favorite
area attractions?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Is this the most decent places to sweat in July?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah? Not wolves inside? What do you mean decent?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Are those that is that it?
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
TMS, Dallas Zoo, Deally Plaza, Texas Live Stint Fair of Texas,
in Sync Exotics, Wildlife Rescue and Educational Center, CID Warren Park,
the Aquarium, Reunion Tower, Mele Wolf and fort Worth Stockyards.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Alright, let me give me a second.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Okay, all right, I'm not ready. I'm ready to do
mine so the scoring system can start.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Coming in third for me, I'm gonna say the Dallas Zoo.
Uh interests. They put the Dallas Zoo ahead of the
four Worth Zoo and the four Zoo actually not nominated.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Kind of like us, not getting nominated for brewery.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I'll let to tell you that was Zoo.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
They let you drink the Forward Zoo they did not.
So one point, we'll go to the Dallas Zoo. Okay.
Second place for me Texas Live. Every time I go there,
I have a good time. I don't even know what
to say about that.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Like I like that we have it.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
That place would not be as fun to go to
if we didn't have Texas Live. Going to Rangers game
is fun because it text a lot. So two points
for Texas Live and then three points to the Stockyards.
The stockyards is my backyard. Fourth stockyards for me, might
see a cow, pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Three points or Nate Christana, have you got your your
valore ready?
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I want to say I'm upset the Pro Museum isn't
on here because I absolutely love the Pro Museum.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
She's calling out the snubs, she's calling out journalism, the die.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Okay, but all right, you let me start three, three, two, one, yeah, yeah.
Number three I got Clyde Warren Park just because we
need more of those here.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
That's just my opinion.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Number two Dallas Zoo, I agree with you, kt very
cool place. The three points for them and then number one,
I have the aquarium. I haven't been in years, and
I've been wanting to go, so.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
All right, I don't think I've ever been skin all right.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Number three, I have the Nasher Sculpture Center in the
Arts District, one of the most amazing attractions. When Raymond Nasher,
the man who built North Park, passed on, he donated
his sculpture collection to this fine museum, and now it's
for all the world to enjoy as he passed on
(05:39):
to the great beyond.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
That's fantastic. With number two, I.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Have Number two, I have the PGA Omni and Frisco.
I mean for the PGA to build what they built
right here in our community, I think is astonishing and
I think people will flock here from all over the
United States because it's so dope. And number one, fast
forwarding four months, I have Rollertown Beer Works headquarters on
(06:03):
Main Street and Frisco right there by the silos.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I think it is a world class facility.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
It would not be accepted in the dominion machine.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Ben Okay, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
At number three, I'm gonna say the PGA Omni Frisco.
Number two, I'm gonna say the star in Frisco because
I think it's really cool that you can go out
and see where the cowboys practice that hop facility, and
then number one coming soon to Frisco in a few months.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
The Rollertown Beer Works last out there that didn't even
get nominated.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
I'm gonna change my aquarium vote for their new roller.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Get at you, Kevin. I'm a big fan of the Stockyards. Yeah,
there's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
He said. You might see a cow there, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Looking at this list, though, a lot of these places
I won't go, so like, honestly, this this.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Stands closer to No Cloba than most of these plays.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
The State Fair, I mean, I get it, But if
you've been once, do you need to keep going back?
I mean, I like a Fletcher's original corny Dog. That's
my favorite thing about it. Seeing big text is great,
but so crouded. It's like, man, it's the Carnies. I
don't know I need that. And then you know the
six floor Museum that's I've already been there once. I
(07:23):
would recommend people go there. That's really cool. I like
going to the Stockyards. But once you've been there, do
you need to keep going back. Clyde Warn Park's badass,
great park, but I don't try to drive there from Salina,
So for me that really the best thing on that
list of their nominees is Texas Live. It's also cool
when people are named Clyde, Yeah, Kevin. What's coming up
(07:44):
next in the wayback Machine?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I have a grab bag of stuff. What happens when
Ben Skin knowing Ryan and George Strait all hang out
together naked?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
All right?
But right now it's time for this.
