And right over here, if you're watching us right over here in Jeff's area, my area was a Hairy thing we couldn't quite identify. 
 
 Speaker 3: I thought it was Konrad, but no. 
 
 Speaker 1: It was we need either a big rat or a possum. We know not sure what it was, as well as it turns out, it was a possum like a teenage. A teenage possum It was. It was more than a baby and but it wasn't a full-size adult and Fortunately, yeah, and it shot down over there, didn't hiss at us or anything, but we got the rake in the broom out and shoveled it around, standing on top of the chair screaming like seven year, that would be Jeff. 
 
 Speaker 1: And it shot over here and then shot over there And then we had the we got it called cornered over there And we thought had the door open and everything to get it out. Nope, went over there by the rakes and the brooms over in the corner and Finally, finally, Marrs arrives in the midst of all this and I said ready. Here's a broom. 
 
 Speaker 2: Well, he's from New Zealand. They eat possums over there. Marrs was looking for one. 
 
 Speaker 1: We brought lunch in. Have you ever eaten a possum? No, sir. 
 
 Speaker 4: No squirrel. My dog's eating a few of them in the backyard, but I haven't they have it, yeah, did you ever have squirrel? 
 
 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we used to go squirrel hunting a lot. Did you ever eat squirrel brains? No, i, i understand they're pretty nasty, but apparently some sort of delicacy in some parts of the United States over there a little bit further East than you, that's right, and I eat crawfish, but I don't suck the heads. 
 
 Speaker 4: I've never had a crawfish. Don't do crawfish?

 Speaker 5: Well, you know I love you guys and we are great partners with the chamber, but we're the Convention and Visitors Bureau visiting Granbury, so even though I love our director of the chamber. I’m with the tourism department so I want to make sure I don't steal their thunder. 
 
 Speaker 1: You are their thunder. You're everybody's thunder and we appreciate that. And how's your hUSBand? 
 
 Speaker 5: He is doing great. I told him today he has to be Tom in your honor and he gets a kick out of that. But yeah, he's Mike, but he's been called Tom his whole life. 
 
 Speaker 1: How about you? Yeah, it's been called Tom, i like that. Does he hang his head down? 
 
 Speaker 5: No. 
 
 Speaker 1: He does not. Okay, well, that's good. Okay, you know, hang down your head, tom. 
 
 Speaker 2: Yeah, i got it. 
 
 Speaker 3: I just want it's not like she hadn't heard this. 
 
 Speaker 2: Hang down your head. 
 
 Speaker 1: We're gonna get more next week by the way, she's the only woman, or anybody for that matter that I know of, dooley, that's true, it's cute. 
 
 Speaker 5: We're getting ready to have a grand baby and it's a little boy and he's being named Michael after my hUSBand, and his initials will be mad, so we're gonna call him our little mad dog Dooley. 
 
 Speaker 1: There you go. Well, this, just don't put any numerical nomenclature in there, like 2020. Right, yeah, exactly, tammy, you've got a big event coming up next weekend. 
 
 Speaker 5: We do and we are ready. This is probably one of our biggest showcase events of the year. We love Lone Star Street Broad Association. It's so great because when they arrive into town they have such a presence and all these great cars start coming. We're at Hewlett Park for two and a half three days. It's just a family friendly event and people come from all over. They love Granbury. I’m not exactly sure what year it is Maybe seven years here but it's their 48th annual street run. It's an awesome event. 
 
 Speaker 1: Well, we were first exposed to it a year ago. We were taken aback, shall we say. 
 
 Speaker 2: Very impressed. 
 
 Speaker 1: Very impressed Not only with the event itself but with Granbury. What a great town to have this in. Personally, I don't have any skin in the game here. I will tell you that the Street Rod Association is lucky to have such a wonderful little venue as Granbury, Exactly. 
 
 Speaker 5: Well, thank you. Thank you for being here last year. It was really neat having you here and experiencing this. We do do a lot of different car shows, but Lone Star, of course, is our favorite and largest. We're a great community. Our population is only a little over 10,000, but we have 65,000 people around us. We're a retirement community, although we have a lot of young people moving here Right now, the ninth fastest growing county in America. We are booming. 
 
 Speaker 2: Granbury is a great destination city to go visit. If you're looking for a weekend trip, climb in your car, go to Granbury. There's lots of things to do. Stunningly beautiful lake as well. 
 
 Speaker 5: Thank you. We are getting ready This is news. We are getting ready to be designated as the celebration capital of Texas because, for a small community, we have festivals almost every weekend, we have some event or two or three going on, we have a great music scene. We just became the 40th city in Texas to be designated a music friendly community, which means a lot to our music industry, and this year we will. We have applied and will receive our cultural arts district designation. 
 
 Speaker 2: So congratulations. 
 
 Speaker 5: Thank you. We have a lot of quality of life here. 
 
 Speaker 2: And I know, are you guys going to be doing the I call it the poker tour in downtown for the shops and stuff for the spouses of the street car owners? I know last year you guys that seemed like that was a lot of fun, where the spouses could kind of go in and out of different shops and package together some kind of reward at the end of the day. 
 
 Speaker 5: They do. They do that every year. It's become annual tradition and a lot of people bring their lawn chairs to and just hang out at the park all weekend and it will be hot, but in a good way, and you know we're right next to the lake and lots of good rest restaurants to cool off in, so it just makes for a great weekend. 
 
 Speaker 4: Your Rick was telling me also that one of the other things they do, they basically put on a parade for some of the senior citizen facilities that you've got around there. That, they said, is well well, well well received. I can't talk. 
 
 Speaker 5: They do, and I can tell you that everyone who has experienced that for the first time gets very emotional. These residents in the nursing homes, you know, are so appreciative and they sit out in their wheelchairs or their chairs and they wave at the cars. They would never get this opportunity to go, you know, down there to the park and see this, and I've had adults cry when they see it. It's just, it's just amazing. 
 
 Speaker 4: Well, I’m sure it brings back a lot of memories for a lot of them. You know, because they are the older people and that goes back to their, to their youth. You know things that they can remember. Like you say, they don't get to experience that any other way. 
 
 Speaker 2: And it's an event, It's something to do that people bring that to them, that you know they have that feeling of, hey, somebody cares. 
 
 Speaker 3: And I know that Kathy and I want to stay an extra day through Sunday morning. When you said the like the poker tour or the buildings, how do you register for that? Is that something that goes on in the afternoon or the morning? 
 
 Speaker 5: When you get here at the conference center, which is the host for the event, I know you'll be over at the park where the cars are, but the conference center is actually the main office and where people register And you just get all the details there. 
 
 Speaker 3: And give you everything you need. 
 
 Speaker 5: I think you can register for it any time, and then you just go to stores, you know, on the square, have them give you a card, and then I’m not. I've never played it, but everyone loves it. So then the merchants really appreciate it too. 
 
 Speaker 4: Now the conference center is across the highway from Hewlett Park, right. Yes, they're on the lake, right by the. I think it's a Hilton or something. 
 
 Speaker 5: Hotel Correct And the conference center is amazing. We last year hosted 115 different meetings and events there, so it's a very popular, unique venue to have here in Granbury. It's about 11 years old right now. 
 
 Speaker 4: Wow, very nice. It looks cool whenever you pull up there. 
 
 Speaker 3: I’m excited about going. I can't wait Yeah. 
 
 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so great. And uh, if you have, time on visit or the Lake. 
 
 Speaker 5: Trambury conference center or websites. You can log in and we have a late camp And you can see the lake in real time anytime to see what the weather's like from 4 different angles. It's. It's really neat. Everyone likes that And if you go on our Tiki cruise which I highly recommend if you stay an extra night, i would make reservations for the Tiki cruise down the lake And you can log into the website and then take a selfie of yourself going by from the lake camp. 
 
 Speaker 1: Tiki cruise. Yeah, and Konrad, you can. you can wear those Bermuda shorts that you're going to wear And that straw hat. 
 
 Speaker 2: I was going to wear the grass skirt. 
 
 Speaker 1: That'd be perfect. I think that's exactly what you need to wear. 
 
 Speaker 3: It'd be more like a lawn skirt. 
 
 Speaker 2: Yeah, like a bayola And the coconuts. 
 
 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. 
 
 Speaker 2: Well, are you going to be off the cruise? 
 
 Speaker 1: You know we have to go and set up at 6 am next Saturday morning. You're going to be there with the welcoming committee. 
 
 Speaker 5: You bet I’m sure that I'll be down there visiting with you at some point. Just tell me when. 
 
 Speaker 1: Well, like I said, 6 am Yeah that probably won't happen. 
 
 Speaker 4: To be another fishing tournament or something you'll have to go to. 
 
 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, so what do we do for food around there during the event? Now the event, i think it, opens at 10. Is it nine or 10? Yeah, so what are we going to do for food? I mean, is there food around there? 
 
 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, there's so much, so many selections, and I mean I recommend, if you, can get away at all to come to some of the many restaurants on the square but, also, right across the street from right next to the conference center, is the Mesquite Head, and they're famous for their margaritas and their brisket. 
 
 Speaker 3: That's all she had to say. 
 
 Speaker 2: Yeah, she had me at margarita And you can go to VisitGranbury.com and click on the Foodie Trail And there's a whole list of restaurants and stuff. 
 
 Speaker 3: Oh yeah. 
 
 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you find that now. Where was that last year? 
 
 Speaker 5: It's looking at it now. And also the Hilton has amazing food, great breakfast, and there's all kind of door dash services If you don't want to leave the park, and then I believe they'll have a couple of food trucks down there And I mean the list goes on We actually have a company here in. Granbury called Flytrak And you can actually order food and have it flown in by drone and dropped off to you. 
 
 Speaker 1: Now there we go. Sure, no problem there, yeah, especially with all the trees. 
 
 Speaker 2: As the birds attack the drone Yeah. 
 
 Speaker 5: There are also a lot of options on the lake. So if you really want to experience the lake, you know, try out stumps. They're famous for their fish tacos There's, you know, again, Mesquite Pit would be your closest, And those are always good options. 
 
 Speaker 1: You know I want to sign up for Tammy's Granbury Tour, and so you just oh, let's go over here. We're going to stop here. We need to go up the way just a little bit around the lake and go there and Ketzler's Schnitzel house. 
 
 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. 
 
 Speaker 2: That's a catchy name. 
 
 Speaker 5: Ketzler's is one of our favorite And the owners are amazing people Best German food you'll ever eat. Great bar, great atmosphere, i mean we really have it going on here So many people come if they think they'll stay one day and they always extend their stay And you know, then they'll come back on another trip because they want to maybe take in the history or the ghost and legends tours and all that stuff. So I mean, there's so many different things you can explore here, it's just your preference. 
 
 Speaker 1: How far are you from Fort Worth? 
 
 Speaker 5: We are 30, 35 minutes away. 
 
 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. 
 
 Speaker 2: Quick trip, just a short ride. 
 
 Speaker 1: Just a quick hop skip and a jump, you know take you that long to get the dinner from here. 
 
 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly One of the things that I did with my kids when they were growing up. We survived, We did things like the Texas tour and we would go to. You know, San Antonio was always a favorite place with the girls And we always look for places that we could take the girls and do a two or three or four day vacation, And we didn't know anything about Granbury at the time, but it seems to me that this would be a perfect spot to take the family. 
 
 Speaker 5: It's perfect. There's a show you may or may not be familiar with called the Daytripper and Check. Arner features cities in Texas. 
 
 Speaker 3: I've seen it. 
 
 Speaker 5: It's amazing And he has spent his whole career, after being an attorney and stuff, just showcasing things in Texas And you can literally never leave Texas and see anything you want. And so Granbury is recently featured and you know, often featured, I should say And it's just because there's so much to do. 
 
 Speaker 3: I've seen the show when he gets into the restaurants and the food, I have to turn it off because I get hungry every time. 
 
 Speaker 5: Exactly. 
 
 Speaker 3: Exactly, and hey, we're all about eating here in. 
 
 Speaker 5: Texas We have a foodie trail And we actually not to brag, but we actually the Texas Travel Awards just announced us as the winner of Best Foodie Destination in Texas. 
 
 Speaker 1: And we were the only little community in the competition. 
 
 Speaker 5: It was Austin, fredericksburg and San Antonio who were. they're definitely on my food travel plans. I love those cities And here here, little Granbury gets in the competition and we win. 
 
 Speaker 2: Congratulations Wow. 
 
 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. So the food is amazing here. 
 
 Speaker 2: We will definitely partake while we're there. 
 
 Speaker 1: Yeah, we, you know, yeah, definitely. Well, i can't thank you enough for taking the time to talk to us today And I will tell you that we will be arriving on Friday afternoon, friday evening, and check it into the hotel to be able to get up the next morning, we hope, and get out there to the Hewlett Park and set up and start our broadcast at eight o'clock And we look forward to seeing you. 
 
 Speaker 5: Well, I will be there. Look forward to having you. If you're coming in Friday, make reservations at some of the restaurants downtown and you won't be disappointed. 
 
 Speaker 1: Very good, we shall do that, tammy. We'll see you next Saturday. 
 
 Speaker 5: All right, travel safe. We'll see you when you get to Granbury. 
 
 Speaker 4: Thanks, thank you. 
 
 Speaker 2: Awesome, yeah, yeah, I’m already looking at some of the menu. 
 
 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a pretty good idea. I'll make reservations ahead of time. 
 
 Speaker 1: Yeah, time now for the events calendar, and we've got a big one coming up which you just spent 15 minutes talking about, and that's our trip to Granbury next weekend for the Longstreet Rod Association And if you're in the Dallas Fort Worth area it's definitely worth the trip, yeah. 
 
 Speaker 2: So come on out and see some beautiful cars and visit a great little city Countryside. So other stuff that's going on is tomorrow morning is Woodlands Cars and Coffee for a Cause of a Market Street, at 6.30 AM to 10.30 AM, coffee and Chrome. Tomorrow is at the Avalon Diner, basically at 90 and 69 59. What do you call it? now Southwest Freeway? Yeah, and then June 11th is the HPD Twin Peaks Meet in the Woodlands at the Twin Peaks Restaurant in Shenandoah. 
 
 Speaker 1: These aren't cruise ends. These are events. These are events, okay. 
 
 Speaker 2: And then June 24th is again the Lone Star Drift round three at the Houston Police Academy. July 15th is the Texas Road to Revolution cruise. Right Going to gather up the Black Bear Diner in Humble, Texas, and take a cruise through the Woodlands of East Texas. That's it, okay, thank you. 
 
 Speaker 1: All right, Mr Marrs has been chomping at the bit All right. Waiting impatiently down at the other end of the day. He's waiting impatiently. 
 
 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 
 
 Speaker 1: And he's got a review of the 2023 Kia Sportage. 
 
 Speaker 4: I had seen this vehicle out on the road a couple of times and my wife drives the Sonata, so we've got some connections there to the Kia And I was really looking forward to driving this vehicle. 2023 Kia Sportage. It actually comes in seven different trim levels. We were driving the SX Prestige all wheel drive, hybrid. Now this is it's not mid range, a little bit closer to the upper end level, but it's one of the more equipped trim levels, if you will. Now it was completely redesigned for 2023. And so now this is the fifth generation And it is a compact crossover And I was very happy to see they didn't try and cram a third row seat into this. 
 
 Speaker 4: Thing Makes for a nice space in the back to have plenty of places to put your cargo and thing. You can get a front wheel drive on the base trim level, the LX only. Everything else is going to be all wheel drive for this particular model. So we had the Shadow Mott Gray paint. Now this is the flat gray paint. So it was what's it called? It says Shadow Mott, gray Mott M-O-T-T. Oh, excuse me, matt, i can't read my own writing. Oh my God, what the hell is Mott paint? Okay, so let me make an. 
 
 Speaker 3: A right here. 
 
 Speaker 4: Yeah, tune in next week. That's an. A Matt Gray Shut up So and had the black handles, had the black down. I think that was Mott. 
 
 Speaker 2: Apple sauce. I was thinking the same thing. So it was a kind of rough paint, yeah, like an orange peel, like a Corvette. 
 
 Speaker 4: It's about like this conversations going here in my car review. 
 
 Speaker 1: And I want to tell all the people at Kia that are listening to this car review it's his fault, he did it, we're not going to do with it. 
 
 Speaker 4: He's also going to be doing the editing on this car review. So it has the LED lighting package, including the projector, headlights, fog lights, etc. It does have the hybrid powertrain, so this is all part of that package that comes with it had a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, had a rear spoiler on it, had a hands-free liftgate. Now We had the optional 18 inch dark alloy wheels, which is part of the SX Prestige package. That goes with it, and you put that with a matte paint and the dark and the blacked out handles and stuff And it's really kind of striking. That it's you got. It's almost like a little bit of chrome because it's a gloss. Looks like the interior to me. Well, it is. So we started, i got ahead, we got sidetracked, it took a little time and didn't stay synced up with the video. So you get to the interior that we now have on the screen here, So we have. 
 
 Speaker 4: Of course it's got the bucket seats up front. It's heated and ventilated front seats, got a reclining 6040 rear seat that does also fold down, so again There's part of your cargo and space in. This thing has a 12.3 inch instrument screen and a 12.3 inch display for all your convenience controls, so it's like a big large. Both of them are curved just slightly so it makes it look almost like it's one continuous screen. And it's got the Harman Kardon premium audio in it. So technology It's got lots of good stuff there wireless chargers, front and rear, USB's, apple and Android of course. So it's got all the technology that you're looking for for the family on the trip. 
 
 Speaker 4: Now, up under the hood, 1.6 liter turbo hybrid setup. That's equivalent to 227 horsepower. Now It's backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. Now you get this vehicle, you can probably get a Sportage. If you properly get it equipped, you can tow up to 2,500 pounds with this vehicle. Now the EPA says you should be looking for 38 miles Equivalent in the city, 38 on the highway and 38 combined because of the hybrid nature of this vehicle. Now I got 30.2 across 369.3 miles and I kind of questioned that as to the computer, but I looked at how many miles I put out on the highway So I didn't really get to take advantage that much of the hybrid. I will tell you when I did crank it up in the morning and get ready to use it. It was nice to have it nice and quiet on the electric power before it kicked into sneaking away from Becky. 
 
 Speaker 4: Well, it's in the neighbors and everybody else So. But when you go to drive it it's really got a it's it's really smooth and compliant out on the road without being wobbly or being overly rough, the stiff type thing. So you know, you felt connected to the road But you didn't feel like a sports car, hot rod type thing. It was just a nice driver, quiet cabin. The seating is good. It felt comfortable in the front seat and the rear seat because they didn't try and cram that third row in there. Now the base model price for a Sportage is $27,615. Base trim price for this vehicle that we were driving, the SX press these hybrid $36,190 now as tested price, 38,530 now. 
 
 Speaker 4: It's a very super competitive segment. Whenever you get into that Compact crossover or SUV I guess they're calling them all now the Honda CRV starts at 28410, the Nissan Rogue starts at 27300 and the Toyota RAV4 It's at 28275. So they're all right there in that 27 28 thousand dollar category in that level. However, should note Kia does come with a 10 year hundred thousand mile powertrain warranty on their vehicles. So if you're looking for something you want to drive a long term and I actually really like this and I mentioned to my wife and It is a little bit smaller than her Sorrento, but, like all things that are growing in this environment we have, it's not that much smaller and I really enjoyed Driving this vehicle and it would be one that I would look at if I was looking for something in that category. 
 
 Speaker 2: You're gonna get Becky a new car. 
 
 Speaker 4: No no car No. 
 
 Speaker 2: You'll be on the couch again. 
 
 Speaker 4: I gotta get off of it first. 
 
 Speaker 1: Well, Mr Marrs, sir I’m, I’m still can't get over the Mott paint job. 
 
 Speaker 4: I’m not sure how where that came from. Well, you're writing Yeah, that's exactly what I wrote down, you know. 
 
 Speaker 1: Mott, mott paint job, mott the Hoopal, mott the Hoopal and Mott's applesauce. Yeah, i Didn't want to go back just for a moment. We were talking to Tammy Dooley with the Convention and Visitors Bureau up there in Granbury. I did not realize that Jesse James is buried there. Do you know that? Oh, did not know the outlaw. Uh-huh. Jesse James died August 15th 1951. 
 
 Speaker 3: I'll be darn. 
 
 Speaker 1: I remember it Well where's Josie Wales? I don't know the outlaw, josie. Well, he's in Missouri. I think is he. Well, see there, i pulled up the Daytripper website, yeah, and they've got a whole section here on Granbury And it's very interesting because they talk about historic Square, the nutshell bakery, jesse James grave in the Granbury cemetery, a Texas State Historic Site, Elizabeth Crockett, the wife of a Davey, the Eagle Mountain Farmhouse cheese factory. I mean it's a lot of stuff they got going on, and here's a Ketzler schnitzel house and beer garden. 
 
 Speaker 2: I was looking at that. That's where I want to go eat, is it? 
 
 Speaker 4: I was thinking about it. We ought to see what's downtown around that square. 
 
 Speaker 1: How many schnitzels you can eat. 
 
 Speaker 2: No, because they have a red cabbage and sauerkraut. 
 
 Speaker 1: Oh Lord, you're staying in your own damn room, that's for sure.
