like right out there. So that's basically where you come

Rollertown is right there behind whole number nine as the
golfers make the turn. Heck, yes, now, this segment right

of them in DFW. It's in Plano at Preston and
Plano Parkway. So if you're a true foodie and you
(01:07):

to Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen in Plano. I want to
show you something that was last night. Me and Mama
La I had a cal zone and it was delicious.

N last year. They're up for six more categories this year.
You can go vote for him every single day. So
go vote for our friends and Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen
(01:28):
and the best of DMN thing. Heck, yes, we got
a little bit of breaking news, but we're not going
to break it for another ten minutes. That don't go anywhere,
But right now it's time for this going on in Dallas,
all right?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Steven actually set this to me when so that would
tell me that Skin subscribes to the US News and
World Report.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
We need to give a shout out to our homeboy,
Clearance Carter, who we were worked with at ESPN Radio.
He sent this to me and Ben Currents.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Carter, of course was stroking touring with Bruce Springsteen for
all those years.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That's Clarence Clemens, and he has passed away. You jerk,
Roger Clemens. The flamethrowing picture that got into a lot
of trouble. Yeah, big Longhorns guy, though, he'll put glue
in his arm.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So it is the fifteen best big cities to live
in in the United States in both twenty five and
twenty six. So oh takes several years, all right. What
they used to break this down though, was these things
quality of life, affordability, job market strength, and overall desirability.
So we're talking crime rates, commute times, healthcare access, education quality.
(02:44):
And these are major cities. It's not like Nacadocha's no doubt,
all right. I can tell you without fear that six
are in Texas in the top fifteen.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Oh wow, I didn't even know there were six major
cities in Texas. Thought there were five. There's Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin,
San Antonio, and Houston. Houston and Beaumont and yeah, and
Garland and.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It was roy oh Royally Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Fifteen San Diego always sound pretty desirable to me. That
would be higher, but I think the cost of living
is outrage and I think everyone's trying to get out
of California, not stay in California. Dude. My kids went
to the San Diego Zoo yesterday. Oh yeah, and you
know it's the best zoo in America apparently. Okay, Yeah,
I've been there. Yeah, oh you have? Yeah, been there?
What a big shots? The best do in America. Why
wouldn't I go there? Yeah, dude, congrats on them not
(03:41):
getting mauled. Yeah, no, they they actually Desmond went out
there into the monkey cage. Fourteen Indianapolis. What what?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Thirteen Dallas not a top ten city? Oh the irony?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah? Or the boys down the field? Twelve Seattle. I'll
vouch for Seattle. I love Seattle. I want to go
so bad. Me too. I've never been good city. Yep uh.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And you can take a small, small drive ten to
fifteen minutes out of town, go up a mountain. I
think it's more of a short drive than a small drive. Columbus,
Ohio number eleven.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, I've I've heard Columbus is fantastic ben this time
of year. Yeah, Banita run. Yeah. Ten Houston. No, Houston
should not be higher than it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Says that because of that one barbecue spot that Gary
Ark Coop told us about.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, you missed it, catching on the iHeart. I will
say this, and I'm gonna piss off a bunch of
rich people in Dallas. Houston is an amazing cuisine city. Really,
Oh yes, okay, because it's it's basically an international magnet
because of their petroleum oil scene. And so you have
like Nigerian community, Thai community, like you have people from
(04:54):
all around the world and they bring their authentic cuisine
to your community. And so Houston is a badass foods.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Nine mesa Arizona. Don't worry about that table. Arizona is not.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Thank you. Thank you. Charlotte, North Carolina, Dude. I love Charlotte.
I love Shark. It's a good city. Seven Jacksonville. No,
I've never been, but there. Lex and TERI started out
in Jacksonville. I I have been, but we we flew
in there because we stayed in Saint Augustine, which is
the oldest city in America.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But I didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I don't know that. I thought Jacksonville was a badass
and a sad band of horses songs. San Antonio number
six list sucks Man ahead of Dallas is terrible. Dude
to get the food maybe the first. Let's ask Charles
Barkley what he thinks about that. Five Nashville. I love Nashville.
I've never been. Oh my god, what I've never been.
(05:52):
It's like it's the music capital city of the world.
It's the music capital. If you have a mandolin in
your backpack, which I happened to have. But you guys
would love Third Man Records. Just going there and see
Jack White place, I feel you dog. Four fort Worth nice.
(06:12):
It's the gateway to the West. Then I love fort Worth.
If I didn't work for ninety seven point one the Eagle, uh,
and didn't have a brewery in Solina that's going to
be in Frisco soon, I would move to Fort Worth
in a heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's when we get that bullet train and you'll find
I love it. Austin three.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Uh. I haven't been to Austin in so long. I
don't know that I can vouch for it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I hear Austin's changed a lot. They like it.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
The last couple of times I went to l Paso. Wait, whoa, whoa,
