On Friday's show: As the government shutdown enters its third day, Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw joins us to talk about the impasse and what it would take to reopen.

Also this hour: We meet Abdullah Antepli, the new president of the Rothko Chapel.

Then, from a controversial Halloween display depicting political hangings, to a potential new movie star being an AI creation, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd talks about the 30th anniversary of Ledbetter Heights, the album that put him on the map while he was just a teenager. He performs the album in its entirety Feb. 21 at House of Blues Houston.
