Sports! Kinda... Oct 22, 2019

We made a sad attempt to talk about baseball this week before realizing Jay B was the only true fan in the room. Then we spent the rest of the time figuring out what other, “normal” people do when they’re not watchin’ 84 hours of (insert your go-to sport’s team here).

Would you rather go to jail or get married? Oct 11, 2019

Ok, hear us out. A groom in East Texas robbed a bank the day before his wedding apparently as a last ditch effort to pay for the ring and the venue. We’re calling BS and here’s why.

Texan breakfast foods. Oct 04, 2019

Randy Taylor's beef with Jimmy Dean sausage got us talking about breakfast today and now we're all starving. Y'all take a listen and decide what you think the most Texan breakfast is while we go get some bacon, egg and cheese tacos.

What's fall, y'all? Oct 02, 2019

We’re talking about fall, y’all. Since these 90 degree days are gonna last for the next 84 years we wanted to talk about how Texans embrace fall. And I’m proud to say we made it through the conversation without a single mention of a PSL.

Should Texans drink White Claws? Sep 06, 2019

It’s about time somebody said something about the White Claw epidemic in our country, so we took it upon ourselves to clear some things up. Are they Texan? The real question is, would you rather party with George Strait or the cast of the Jersey Shore?

I went to Dallas. I ate fried food. Aug 30, 2019

We’re taking it on the road to Dallas this week, y’all! From what’s really behind the title of "America’s Team” to everything fried coming out of the State Fair this year. We’ll give ya a hint, Big Red Chicken Bread. Y’all better come hungry to this episode!

What state has the most state pride? Texas, Maine, Minnesota, Alaska, or Montana? Aug 20, 2019

I was appalled that anyone would lump our great state in with the likes of Maine and Alaska, but here we are. Today, I take on a fairly ridiculous debate that was waged on Twitter about Texas and its standing as the most prideful state.

What would your last meal in Texas be? Jul 26, 2019

Heaven forbid one day we have to leave this beautiful state we call home and move somewhere over yonder, BUT if that day comes we deserve a true Texas send off. On this episode we put together a five course meal that even our southern mothers could be proud of.

Should tea be sweet or unsweet? Jul 23, 2019

How do y’all take your tea? Sweet? Unsweet? Sugar with a hint of tea? 50/50? Arnold Palmer? Flavored? With lemon? Light ice? All the ice? Now that you’re clear on what we’re debatin’, let’s get to it! Because there’s always a right and a wrong in our office.

If you drive in Texas, y'all need this episode Jul 19, 2019

Here's a Texas Fire Rant on rules of the road that many Texans seem to miss out on. Between blinkers, waves, and the left lane, all Texans need to hear this.

Beans do not belong in Chili. Period. Jul 16, 2019

Of all of the subjects our audience asks that we weigh in on, the great beans in chili debate has to be the biggest and longest running. Today, we make a statement.

There's no "S" in the middle of New Braunfels Jul 12, 2019

When we heard our graphic designer pronounce New Braunfels as “New Bronze Fulls” for the 80th time today we knew something had to be done. Lessons had to be learnt. We phoned in a few friends and got to the bottom of some good old fashioned Texas pronunciations on this episode.

Texas Hot Take - The Lufkin Blue Bell Licker Jul 10, 2019

Is there an epidemic of Blue Bell lickers or is this much ado about nothin'? Either way, it's gross, but on today's Texas Hot Take, we discuss whether the punishment fits the crime. We also discuss toilet papering houses and drive-by-fireworking.
Here's the CBS article about the Louisiana man arrested for licking ice cream: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/blue-bell-ice-cream-licker-lenise-martin-licking-blue-bell-creameries-louisiana-belle-rose/

Do Texans Need Air Conditioning? Jul 09, 2019

There was a tweet out of New York that caught our attention this morning. Long story short the words patriarchy and sexism were used to describe air conditioning. Seeing as how AC is a staple everywhere from your car to your favorite dive bar in Texas we decided it was a pretty important issue to tackle on the podcast today. Take a listen and let us know what y’all think.
Dive in to the New York Times article that we discuss on the show here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/03/style/air-conditioning-obsession.html

A Brief History of Texas Jul 03, 2019

We've got a bonus episode for any newly minted Texans who missed out on the two years of Texas history that the rest of us got. It's a short episode, but it's packed with historical accuracy. (Mostly accurate)

How long does it take to become Texan? Jul 02, 2019

How long do you have to live in Texas to be considered a Texan? As y’all already know we have a lot of pride around these parts. So how long does it really take to get yourself inducted into the cool kids club of America? We came up with a list of criteria we thought should be required for anyone to pass the Texan test.

Which states should Texas invade and annex? Jun 24, 2019

We’re back with our 17th episode, and it’s an important one. It might seem crazy that Texas would invade another state, but if we truly want to be the largest state in the United States, we might have to resort to that. Today, we debate the invasion strategy.

Texas Sized Lies Jun 21, 2019

As it turns out we've all been told a lot of lies as children and as Texans. On today's episode, we dug in to some of the lies our parents told us and the things we thought were illegal in Texas, but aren't.

Should we be sad or happy about Whataburger's Sale? Jun 17, 2019

Processing the news about Whataburger's sale has been intense. Especially for us on the Texas Humor team since EVERYONE messaged us about it on pretty much every single social media channel. Today, we discussed the news and gave our take on what it might mean for the iconic brand.

Why do people eat Jack In The Box tacos? Jun 14, 2019

I'm baffled. Yes, baffled as to why people actually eat Jack In the Box tacos. It's never made any sense to me at all. As it turns out, I'm in the minority on that though. Almost the entire Texas Humor team is obsessed with them.
On today's episode, we have a spirited debate on their quality and whether I should try them or not.
The Wall Street Journal article on the tacos can be read here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/americans-eat-554-million-jack-in-the-box-tacos-a-year-and-no-one-knows-why-1483465285

Taco Talk with Rich O'Toole Jun 11, 2019

We've had a lot of conversations about what the perfect Taco looked like, but none of us have ever agreed. Between that and all the Taco Talk that our friend Rich O'Toole does, we thought it would be a good topic for an episode.

Emergency Hot Take: New Jersey vs. Texas May 09, 2019

This week, Twitter has been abuzz with a debate over which state has the best "Mount Rushmore of Musicians", if Mount Rushmores of Musicians were a thing. New Jersey thinks they're supreme. We naturally don't.
We brought in a fella from New Jersey who agreed with us to lay down the law.

We tried In-N-Out so you don't have to May 08, 2019

It has recently come to our attention in the Texas Humor office that our fearless leader, Jay B Sauceda, has never eaten at In-N-Out. Every Texan knows that you have to pick a lane when it comes to your go-to burger & fries so this week we decided to take y’all to the drive thru lane at In-N-Out to settle this once and for all. Hear about the good, the bad, the ugly, and a small emergency detour we made on the way back to the office.

Who has the worst traffic? Apr 30, 2019

Traffic y’all, amirite? This episode we decided to discuss potentially the worst part of our great state: its highways. Sometimes it literally seems like the construction on i35 has being going on since before Willie Nelson was born. But which city really has it the worst? We’ll tell y'all how we ranked the roads and give you some tricks for getting back and forth without hearing “are we there yet?!” on repeat from the back seat.

Would Y'all Rather? Apr 26, 2019

We decided to play a game of good ole fashioned "Would Y'all Rather" for our first Friday episode. Painstakingly hard "this vs. that" questions that no Texan should ever have to encounter out in the wild.
But, if you do, our team tackled a few for ya. Hear what we decided when faced with a colony of scorpions vs. a nope noodle (snake) in our bed or drinking sweaty beer from Willie's bandana vs. George's boot, and neither isn't an answer this round, y'all.
And for reference sake, this is the photo of Kid Rock we were referring to: https://images.app.goo.gl/5GU5VvkvSfZ2xdBF7

Is Austin Texan? Apr 23, 2019

We wanted to debate whether or not Austin is a Texan city, but we realized that we needed to understand what it meant to be Texan in the first place. On today’s episode we settled the debate once and for all. Or at least for this week. Since Austin is changing so fast, we’ll probably need to debate it again soon.
For reference, the Dallas Morning News article that we dig in to on the air can be found here. It’s great: https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/opinion/2011/03/01/voices-what-it-means-to-be-texan

Crawfish, Kolaches, and Game of Thrones in Texas Apr 16, 2019

We decided to dive in to Texan foods a bit further this week since I'm trying to figure out what dishes are uniquely Texan and which foods we like just because they're tasty. I also have a sneaking suspicion that Buc-ee's is part of a conspiracy. Plus Julio's Chips needs to hire a new engineer.
With all of the Game of Thrones attention this week, we also thought it was important to at least discuss the idea of it taking place in Texas.
Also, if you dig the song at the end of the show, make sure to give the band, Silo Road, a listen. Hear that album here: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/signal-hill/1431555276?mt=1&app=music

Cowboy Boots & Nice Kicks Apr 09, 2019

On today’s episode we dive deep in to the group of people known as Sneakerheads. Surprisingly, the digital gathering place of sneaker collecting is based right here in Texas. The founder of that site, NiceKicks.com, Matt Halfhill joins us in the studio to talk about Texas, sneakers, and why he picked the hill country over Canada or Fresno. We also hear from y’all about what types of shoes you wear regularly.
And the shoes we reference in the show are here. Check em out.

Whataburger, Vegetarian BBQ, and King George Apr 02, 2019

We heard from A LOT of folks who wanted to tell us their late night Whataburger order, which led us to talk vegetarian BBQ. Should it be a thing? Is Game of Thrones worth watching? What part of the state is most survivable during a zombie apocalypse. And is George Strait being influenced by Post Malone? We covered those and more topics with the Texas Humor team this week.

Texas Stereotypes, and a bit of BBQ&A Mar 26, 2019

On today's episode we tackle stereotypes. Which are accurate and which ain't?
We also rolled out our newest segment, BBQ&A, during which we answer questions submitted by the followers of Texas Humor.
We talk Chili, celebrity Parents, what to take when traveling outside of Texas, bro country, and train etiquette.

Musician Charley Crockett, and Rio Grande Valley Love Mar 19, 2019

I sat down with Texas musician Charley Crockett to take about his love for South Texas, recent heart surgery, and ramblin' tendencies. Plus we hear from folks around Texas about their love for the Rio Grande Valley. Of course, those topics include South Padre Island, Tamales, and Tex-Mex.
Check out Charley's single, How Low Can You Go here: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/how-low-can-you-go/1451643782?i=1451643786&mt=1&app=music

The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott Mar 01, 2019

Because of a beer and Texas Independence Day, we're kicking off our show with a very special guest. Governor Greg Abbott sat with us at his reception room at the state Capitol.
We discussed invading other states, whether he'd run for President, and whether beans belong in chili or not.
