00:00let's get to our question of the day here on this friday uh june 12th when the u.s men's
00:06national team is going to start their world cup run here uh you know the june madness as we're
00:11calling it here on this program is in full effect and we've got we've got visitors we are playing
00:16host ladies and gentlemen uh not just north america not just uh the u.s but also the city
00:22of houston is playing host uh with with all sorts of international visitors we were talking about
00:27the congo touchdown here and uh i think that one of the things i enjoy the most is seeing what
00:33you
00:33looking at me for because that line you came up with is just perfect they had those leopard skin
00:39you know whatever they're called uh i guess i don't know what they what they're like
00:44sash and then the leopard skin uh those suitcases were yeah badass and what'd you say what is this
00:54velvet god i love it i love how quotable coming to america but i also love and this happens in
01:00a
01:01lot of sports where you just have the international player learn about america culture america culture
01:05through places that you would not expect like i still remember uh when uh christos porzingis was
01:10playing with the knicks so you know hearing him start dropping like uh the colloquialisms that you
01:15go i know damn well they weren't saying that in la via you know what i mean or you see
01:19the you'll see
01:20the player in the uh in the clubhouse this happens a little bit less because the clubhouse can be a
01:23little niche but you're just like oh i didn't realize you rock with country like that my boy okay
01:27cool that makes me smile and so i i started thinking within the world cup with all these
01:32various different europeans and international folks touched down in the u.s what is one place
01:37or thing that an outsider absolutely has to experience in houston to understand about american
01:41culture there's uh there's a lot like we're all marveling at uh just the these videos we're seeing
01:47all over social media from you know scottish people or from you know whatever europeans and
01:53uh south africans i mean south americans and everything like this is real you know the things
01:59they're experiencing here so what would that be what obviously we've already seen a lot of bucky's
02:03so bucky's is going to have to be yeah you know down on the list because people are doing videos
02:08of
02:08bucky like this is a gas station i mean it makes sense though some americans like damn this is a
02:14gas
02:14exactly exactly even other americans are like man this ain't the quick trip yeah yeah no this is
02:19different and so i can only imagine over like over there where some of their gas stations where to go
02:26inside and get nothing little holes in the wall yeah like it is literally just gas see that's the gas
02:31stations i grew up in yeah because before i moved there if you would have told me you was getting
02:36some food from a gas station like food to eat i'm like you better stay away from me now it's
02:42a go-to
02:43yeah you have to eat inside of a gas station man and not even just bucky's just regular gas
02:48sure good stuff full-blown restaurants in there i have i have a i have a theory that um there's
02:55some
02:55place some foods in gas station that you go you stick away from for some reason the chicken fried
02:59chicken in the gas station is usually good i don't know why that's the case but it is you got
03:03to be
03:03drinking for it to be good but there's also pick your some some spots put take a lot of pride
03:08in it
03:08like you know where you got there are some gas stations i've been to i'm like this is really good
03:13yeah no it's some places that you know instead of just a full-blown restaurant they just take out a
03:19little rent a little spa in the gas station it's a place called crack kitchen yeah it's actually inside
03:24of a gas station yeah so it's like real cajun food and that was one of my answers i was
03:30trying to think
03:30what is uniquely houston that people have to get i see people talking about from the 504 they have to
03:35experience the taste of houston barbecue and yes i get that but i feel like a lot of barbecue in
03:41in
03:41in the states you can make happen right no i think you got to get like a beef rib you
03:46got to get
03:46something unique like that not just regular you know pork ribs i think you got to get like a big
03:51old
03:51beef rib i've seen a couple of these posted and i think it's it's definitely something that we do in
03:56houston is like the combo plate how much food that you like it's on the plate like that just
04:02doesn't happen in other countries like you get
04:05this is a bridge two ribs a link sausage you know and then but they're like what is going on
04:10three meat plate it's like with like three sides yeah you're just gonna give these people the itis
04:15and they don't even know what to do with it they ain't never had the itis before another one i
04:19was
04:19thinking about um i think you can still get some crawfish right yeah it's gonna be frozen but there's
04:24some place to have crawfish that's what i was thinking i think that's super unique too just a
04:27bucket full of crawfish yes this was one of my answers that's why i brought up viet cajun because i
04:32feel
04:32like this is also one of those places where it's rare that you get this mix maybe you get it
04:36in
04:36some southeast louisiana or south louisiana yeah but here particularly because of our you know large
04:42viet culture then also the cage we get just the interesting fusion naturally yeah food here that
04:47you can't get nowhere else like you've got to get a taste of that i like uh the the things
04:51that you can
04:51see and then we've seen some videos like that i was mentioning earlier the do-it-yourself exits that
04:56we do in houston like you know they're going to be going like that's a good what is going on
05:01there
05:01they're driving across the gas the grass into those places things like that speaking of uh driving i
05:09appreciate b scott for being petty in this he said they got to experience potholes absolutely i don't
05:15care if you're in the uber or not you just got to understand what it's like being in this particular
05:18infrastructure yeah go ahead and roll through that pothole and see if you make it out and they got
05:22experience bisonette too just go on bisonette somebody said that one as well and i was like
05:27richmond you you're driving down richmond you see a house a convenience store a boutique a tire
05:33and a strip club like in four straight places and you've got to the answer that is making me the
05:38happiest and it is indeed and i will use the parlance that somebody on the text line use you got
05:43to go to
05:44the local shake joints yeah they are unlike very few places are there there's not a lot of places that
05:49replicate what houston is giving you yeah but the no zoning is what i'm talking about like on richmond
05:53you can have a house next to a strip club yeah oh yeah yeah i think another thing they got
05:58to do
05:58too and i do this when a lot of people you know from back where i'm from coming to houston
06:03just try
06:04out a little country bar like a oh yes like a country country bar where yeah you know um like
06:11it's free
06:12if you come in with a hat or something like that like a real blown country bar with the line
06:16dancing
06:17all that stuff that was a that was a shocking experience for me when i first went to one yeah
06:22oh and really just drive through not even river oaks but a neighborhood that has those monstrous
06:28houses you just don't see that very often like in cities like because they're so compact in europe
06:33there's not a lot of land yeah you have little small houses that are i would say river oaks or
06:37west
06:37yeah and just giant houses yeah good answer from the 281 take them to a panaderia yeah get some
06:44conchas like get some get some uh mexican page pastries in them yeah this is a great place for
06:50that as well oh from the 409 we got to take them to see some slabs we got to take
06:54them to a meetup
06:55oh they could go to the screw shop oh yeah how do we not like we got we got to
07:00coach them on
07:01yeah man yeah i'm now i'm trying to think because you know obviously you know screw screwed up uh
07:07music is one is something that is very unique here and there's some places that have embraced it but
07:11not quite i'm like what if somebody takes it back and tries to make some level of fusion
07:15you know i mean like do we end up with like a french house that is sampling dj screw somehow
07:21like
07:21i mean like i i don't know the places that this could so they tried to do a couple years
07:26ago they
07:26tried to uh it was some influence to talk about some slowed up music slowed up everybody he was
07:32like wait hold on hold on this is where it came from yeah so uh yeah go go to screw
07:38shop shooting
07:38range why didn't i think of this why did i not think of this earlier you can just drive anywhere
07:45in
07:45town walk in there borrow a gun and start shooting stuff i and and then of course in this in
07:54this uh
07:55subsection of the game from the 832 i hear sunny side is wonderful this time of year oh come on
07:59taking the green it's always sunny and sunny side taking the greens point aka guns get you an airbnb
08:05over there you know that place in schulenberg that says liquor store slash gun shop which putting
08:12those things together dangerous proposition liquor store slash gun shop and then i i still think a
08:19great answer is get them get them one of them ltmo margaritas like just just let them know
08:24that uh we have bastardized this to a place where it'll absolutely put you on your ass
08:28they gotta go to chinatown too man yeah yeah international district yeah i'll be forgetting
08:33about going over there sometimes i go over there i'll be like oh damn i need to go over here
08:37more
08:38often it's a little far from my house yeah i never do it but this you can have a blast
08:42over there
08:42yeah just have them go around the loop like literally go around just the highways yeah yeah yeah go
08:48ahead and drive on the highways and just get a feel of this i know there's a lot of places
08:51that say
08:52that their traffic is bad i just want you to get a feel yeah i understand what we deal just
08:56a touch
08:56and then just a taste somebody said definitely gaming rooms yeah yeah get a feel of our degeneracy
09:02but something as simple as just breathe the air man the humid thick houston air boy they are feeling
09:09it too i'm seeing a lot of that too they gotta go to the dream strip club too for the
09:12wings only
