Sunday ninety nine point one Houston's Best Variety of the eighties,
nineties and today and I'm Danae with producer Anthony and
the Three Things you Need to Know to get your Thursday,
October twenty third started. This is some good news. HISD
considering granting more control to high performing schools. Principles will
get more control over curriculum and staffing, and this builds
(00:24):
on recent academic successes. Schools with a really consistent record
of excellence are being considered for this performance based model
that was introduced two years ago and it is being
credited with eliminating the F rated campuses. That is excellent news,
all right. With the government shutdown now, it means that
(00:45):
tomorrow government workers will see their first missed paycheck and
on November one, Snap benefits for food insecure people will
not be funded. So the Houston Food Bank is prepping
and they could use your help. You can check them
out Houstonfoodbank dot org. And the American Heart Association updating
(01:05):
their CPR guidelines the first time in five years. And
when I was out at the American Heart Walk with
so many sunny listeners this past weekend out at Lone
Star College the Northwest Harris County Campus. We learned that
if just one person per family across the US new CPR,
it would save so many lives. So now there are
(01:27):
new guidelines to consider, including choking procedures for all ages
and opioid overdoor dose treatment tips. You can check the
new guidelines at heart dot org. And your weather today,
pretty dang nice little warm, though it's gonna go up
to eighty six, should be real sunny. Right now, it's
sixty eight and uptown and you're up to date from
(01:47):
Sunday ninety nine point one. As we get ready for
the eight o'clock AllMusic Hour at eight ten, it's our
battle of the urbs on sunny. Tell me something good
brought to us by our friends at Goodwill Houston. Every
year we talk about pies during the holidays and the
Houstern tradition, you know the lines out the door at
our beloved Houston Pie shop, fifty eight year old Flying
(02:10):
Saucer Pie Company. They help us have more delicious holidays.
But now they need our help. They've been struggling. They
can't afford supplies for all the upcoming holidays. They posted
this on social media. The Flying Saucer Pie Company wrote,
we need your help enjoying these and keeping this tradition alive.
(02:30):
Sales have dropped and they didn't enable us to earn
enough money to buy the supplies to satisfy these mile
long oho So they're encouraging us things that we can do.
Buy an e gift card, donate a pie, maybe to
a foster child's birthday, grab a five dollars slice, or
pre order ahead. Yes, yes, and yes, all about the
(02:53):
Flying Saucer Pie Company because they're out of this world.
Producer Anthony Dane.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
There's a hidden climbing spot in Texas that's going to
open to the public for a small window, and it's
this weekend. Climbers are going to be allowed to access
Inks Ranch. It's a privately owned historic cattle property tuck
deep in the hill country. Normally closed to the public,
the ranch is going to be welcoming a limited number
of climbers. The Inks Ranch has been family owned since
the eighteen thirties. The owners have agreed to grant limited
(03:17):
access to climbers on a small number of weekends each year,
allowing them to experience the areas. Countless boulders, slabs, and cracks.
The climbing at Inks Ranch actually features the same pink
granite found at nearby Enchanted Rock. And this is the
first public access weekend at Inks Ranch since April. Now,
climbers got to reserve their spots in advance and should
be prepared for a more remote experience, they're saying, So
if you want to reserve a spot, it's being organized
(03:39):
through a national fund that protects these climbing spots. Check
out accessfund dot org. You know, I don't know if
I want to climb up, I like repelling down. I
don't know about that either, No, I like that.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Anyway, we are going to We've got this new indoor
adventure park that we want to go to. We're going
to go out to Pasadena, so you guys listen up.
It's a sixty thousand square foot space and it's on
Fairmont Park with the shopping center there. It is called
take Off Adventure Park. There's gonna be a ninja trail,
(04:10):
there's gonna be a foam pit, climbing walls, trampoline arcades,
party room, quoa. Now it's right in between Club Fitness.
I'm not gonna go there, but Goodwill, so I'll drop
the kids off. They can play there while I shop
at Goodwill. That is a win win. So Pasadena, you
guys are lucky. It is coming to you soon. And
(04:30):
for our feel good stories each weekday mornings set a
preset on the new and improved iHeartRadio app to Sonny
Natty nine point one, Sunny Naty nine point one, Houston's
best variety of the eighties, nineties, and Today I'm Dana
with producer Anthony. We learned in our nearly Impossible question
just under thirty five percent of us don't like the
term calm down. There's gonna be a song about it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Dean. There is baby Calm Down with the Selena Gomez.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You don't like that song.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I don't like that phrase. Oh okay, say I remember
my dad. I think I was a very intense, manic child,
and my dad used to say relax and that was
really no. I didn't like that. So then I marry
a guy very similar to my dad. He doesn't say relax,
he says calm down. And I just did a chat
gpt man. You can find out some interesting stuff. When
(05:19):
you tell an upset person to relax, it can make
them feel invalidated, patronized, and more upset. Yeah, because it
dismisses their feelings and implies they are wrong for being emotional.
Isn't that so good?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You know, some people just kind of want to discard
you and because you're too much of a hassle And
I no, seriously, because you know you're maybe you're like
a horse, you're a little more high maintenance and a
little more sensitive. I know my dad was like that.
He just didn't have time for me, you know, and
it's so it's very hard. Yeah, I get it, though,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So maybe that's what triggers when someone says go down yeaheah.
I can understand that, I can, right, But there are
other phrases that can be really uplifting. I don't know any,
but there are phrases out there. You how do you
feel when someone says calm down? Maybe you tell others.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Just relax, come on?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, how do you cope?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
You get busy at work, busy at home? Seven to
one three. What's a phrase? Maybe that's better, you know
seven one three two one two situation exactly seven one
three two one two five ninety nine one Sunday ninety
nine point one Houston's Best Variety of the eighties nineties,
and today I'm Dana with producer Anthony learned in our
Nearly Impossible Question at six point forty that almost thirty
(06:41):
five percent of us simply cannot stand the phrase calm down.
It actually leads to explosive arguments. And we're trying to
kind of and I did a quick Google search on
when you tell an agitated person to calm down, it
kind of dismisses them. It's making them not realize their emotions,
(07:03):
and it's kind of like you're patronizing them. And we're
asking you how that phrase factors into your world. Maybe
there's a better phrase, Maybe there's a better way to
say it. And we've got man, we've got so many
people calling in to talk. They must feel like I do.
My dad was the one who really started it with
the term relax, and he'd said it in such a
(07:24):
nasty way. Then my husband kind of chimes in and says,
calm down in a night not very pleasant way. What's
it for you? We've got kristin. Now let's go to
Pearland first. Now you're a speech pathologist, how does the
phrase that I can't stand calm down factor into your life.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
So I think it just depends on how it's said.
If someone says.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Calm down, then they.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Don't really care about you, like you said, they just
want to get past whatever you're feeling. So it's not
so much the words. But if you said, look, I'm
here with you, it's okay, let's calm down, that's different.
I don't think it's the words.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I think it's the intent.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
So I got goosebumps when you talk to me kindly
like that that second way her voice gets so kind
that is amazing. As obviously you've got a very calming demeanor.
As a speech pathologist, what exactly how do you how
are you helping people with that?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What are you doing well?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I work with little kids, mostly the preschool age, with
whatever disorder they have, articulation or stuttering or language disorder, so.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You really can calm them down because many times kids
are anxious and they trip over their words, or if
they just can't. I mean, my little Mitch he couldn't.
He would say, uh. I worked with a man prior
to Anthony weavermorrow he would say, malo, he could not
speak properly, you know, and he would get embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Well, I think that's yeah. It is definitely a part
of my job to make kids feel comfortable and to
feel like not judge, not hurry. I'm just here with
you and they need to feel comfortable to talk to me.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So that is she has the right energy.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Ge you do well, I have just calmed down.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Really.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Thanks. I am glad that you called in. Yes, you're
the best. What's a good phrase to tell people? It's
okay to say calm down you're saying just say it
with the right intent.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, that is so great.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Lesson, Kristen. Thanks for sharing, and I'm so glad you listen.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Thank you, Love you guys.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, Jason, what do you do for a living? Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I drive part time for a EPs.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Awesome. Oh man, so you're dealing with road rage. Do
you love the phrase calm down? Do you use it
or does it drive you insane?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
No? I don't use it, and I've learned after fourteen
years of marriage, some thing to do is just sit
there and listen.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh my gosh, Ja, you are are the inspiration for
all men listening this morning. Would you repeat what you
figured out in marriage again. I figured out, Yeah, what
did you just say? Just so every man who's here
taking notes, I just.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I've learned after fourteen years of marriage, just to sit
there and listen and don't try to fake anything. Just listen,
and I don't know no, Jason.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
You said, you've said it. You have changed our are
You have changed every man's life now. All marriages are
going to be happy if they follow your instruction. Just
sit there and listen, right, don't say anything, Just keep
your mouth shutting. Jason, God bless you many many, many
more years. What's your wife's name?
Speaker 3 (10:39):

let her know.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Jason, you're a sweetheart. Glad you listen. Thanks for your
help we needed it.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
