Richie and Chad catch up on their April beep baseball experiences in Vegas and Bryan College Station.

Send us Fan MailA lot of towns get remembered for a stadium or a slogan. Bryan-College Station deserves to be remembered for a man most people can't name and for the living history that still surrounds Texas A&M. We trace the life of Major General James Earl Rudder, born in tiny Eden, Texas, who goes from teacher and coach to leading the 2nd Ranger Battalion on D-Day at Point Du Hoc, where Rangers scale 100-foot cliffs under brutal fire, take enormous casualties, and still get the mission done. We also follow him into the Battle of the Bulge, where his unit fights outnumbered and holds long enough to slow the German advance.From there, the story shifts from battlefield to public service. Rudder returns home, racks up a lifetime of honors, and eventually becomes president of Texas A&M and later leads the Texas A&M University System. That arc gives real weight to a visit in College Station, because the campus is not just a place to tour, it is a place to understand how military tradition, leadership training, and Texas history intersect.Then we get practical: what to do in College Station and Bryan if you're building a weekend trip. We talk can't-miss stops like Rudder's statue, the Corps of Cadets museum displays, the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, and the Museum of the American GI. We also share travel tips on Kyle Field, Veterans Memorial Park, great local hotels like The George and Cavalry Court, the surprisingly strong food scene, plus stops like Brazos Distillery, Messina Hof, and more.

They’re calling it a school funding crisis, but the numbers tell a different story: since 2018, public schools have lost 270,000 students while state funding has hit record highs. Christian Education Network Executive Director Troy McIntosh joins David and Mike to explain that public schools don’t have the money problem they and their media mouthpieces keep pushing. Instead, Troy brings the data: districts are becoming increasingly top-heavy as they hire administrators while classrooms continue to lack resources. After the news, David Bereit Executive Director of the Life Leadership Conference and CCV's Senior Fellow for Strategic Initiatives Peter Range join The Narrative to issue a bold challenge to the pro-life movement: stop being pawns for political parties and start holding elected officials accountable. In this hard-hitting interview, the guys discuss why the sanctity of life is a non-negotiable standard that politicians don't get to define. As pressure mounts to be "flexible" on the Hyde Amendment, David reminds us that our ultimate accountability isn't to a platform, but to our Maker. TAKE ACTION Now is the moment to speak up using CCV.org. Through our Action Center, you can quickly contact Senators Moreno and Husted to encourage them to defend the Hyde Amendment. The process takes less than a minute! Call on Ohio's US Senator Moreno and US Senator Husted to oppose taxpayer-funded abortion in any “deal” on Obamacare subsidies. More About David Bereit David Bereit is an internationally respected pro-life leader, strategic advisor, and dynamic communicator. David’s pro-life journey began in Bryan/College Station, Texas, where he rallied 60 churches and thousands of volunteers to drive Planned Parenthood out of local schools, revoke their taxpayer funding, reduce abortions, and ultimately shut down the local abortion center—prompting Planned Parenthood to label his town “the most anti-choice place in the nation.” David went on to found and lead 40 Days for Life, growing it into the world’s largest grassroots pro-life mobilization. Under his leadership, the movement activated 2,000 leaders and 750,000 volunteers in 600 cities across all 50 states and dozens of nations, leading to 14,643 lives saved, 177 abortion workers leaving the industry, and 96 abortion facility closures. Recently, top pro-life leaders and philanthropists asked David to launch and direct the Life Leadership Conference—a groundbreaking initiative to unify and strengthen the pro-life movement through strategic coordination, shared messaging, targeted mobilization, leadership development, and a $30 Million venture fund to maximize collective life-saving impact. A sought-after speaker and media expert, David has addressed over 1,000 live audiences, hosted hundreds of online events, and his insights have been featured in nearly every major media outlet. His work has inspired millions worldwide and helped raise over $100 million for pro-life and faith-based causes. David and his wife, Margaret, have been joyfully married for 32 years, live in the Washington, D.C., area, and are the proud parents of two adult children.

Ever wondered what happens when you hand a team $2,200, drop them in Detroit, and tell them to chase riddles across America for a good cause? We sit down with organizer Richard Tomlin to unpack Wrench Rally 3, a back-roads, no-interstate adventure where budget beaters become charity champions. From the thrill of the hunt on Facebook Marketplace to the tight ten-minute evening check-in window, Richard explains how a gimmick rally blends navigation puzzles, teamwork, and roadside repairs into a road trip you'll tell stories about for years.The format is simple and brilliant: buy under the cap, pass a safety check, then follow clue sheets that lead to hyperlocal landmarks you can't game with AI. Each team proves progress with photos, helps others under the Kansas Rule when breakdowns strike, and rolls into nightly meetups that sometimes turn into pop-up car shows. The route celebrates history and scenery—Appalachian stretches, Route 66 nods, the Ouachita Mountains—before winding into Possum Kingdom Lake and a finish at Bryan–College Station. Every vehicle is sold at the end on platforms like eBay Motors or Cars & Bids, with proceeds going to Parkinson's research. Think diesel ambulances, white stretch limos, faithful minivans, and the kind of unexpected finds only Detroit can deliver.We also take the Ford Bronco Strop Edition for a spin and talk heritage. The two-door Bronco's 2.7L EcoBoost and 10-speed auto deliver stout torque and surprisingly composed ride quality, while the red, white, and blue livery honors Bill Stroppe's desert legacy. We compare it to segment staples like the Jeep Wrangler and off-road-leaning alternatives, and share why this Bronco pulls thumbs-up everywhere it goes. Rounding things out, Jeff's Motor Minute sparks nostalgia with favorite car films and motorsport heroes, reminding us why car culture is as much about stories as specs.Ready to rally for a reason or just want the perfect excuse to wrench with friends?

https://open.spotify.com/artist/4mXQilfYjWN85sbmDAm7ORhttps://www.youtube.com/@MOOSEBIGGZVEVO-wj7wdhttps://www.facebook.com/moosebiggz/Moose Biggz still hustling hard and smart with new hip-hop single “Hustle Harder” and its EP With “Hustle Harder, Pt. 2,” and its EP, Lucid Dreams, Texas hip-hop artist Moose Biggz is making a statement and at the same time opening the “latest chapter” in his music career.The single, its video and the album drop on August 16.It is a song first released on his EP Love Ballads 4 a G, but in this remix, it is expanded with features by artists S.U.C. Captain, LGND, Don Ke, Neka Nesha and Maine 1.“‘Hustle Harder' is kind of self-explanatory,” said Moose, citing a couple lines from the chorus.Hustle harder, hustle little smarterMe and my niggas that was starvin'Trying to get this money every dayMomma raised me off fixed income“It talks about the struggles of traditional urban youth, sometimes coming from broken homes, broken families, doing what they have to do to survive, be it legal or illegal.”Raised up food stamps, raised in the hoodGot me up to no good“As the saying goes, ‘It ain't what you do, it's how you do it.' You can still do things with dignity, even sometimes if you're not standing correct morally. Obviously, you want to be in alignment with both, but, yeah, hustle harder, hustle a little smarter.”“Hustle Harder, Pt. 2” is a hip-hop anthem, with the rap backgrounded by melodies and beats that are, by turns, militaristic, R&B and hip-hop.Moose's smarter hustle included a degree from the C.T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston, an hour's drive from Bryan-College Station, where he was born and raised.He describes an upbringing in an underprivileged, under-financed household in the 'hood, where lighting was sometimes candles, water for baths was heated on the kitchen stove and, when the gas was off, cooking food over a lantern.“We lived in a shotgun house at one point in time. When it rains the roof caves in on you — literally, the insulation and the sheet rock is falling on you. You're enmeshed in poverty.”And sometimes, he said, that upbringing leads desperate people to selling drugs and committing violence, and sometimes it leads people to say, “I want to do my best and be an honor roll student and get out of here.”Hustle harder, hustle a little smarter.“That was my story right there. I was an honor roll student, but I did hustle and did what I had to do. So, I was a little bit of all, you know?”He was in corporate for a while out of college, went to the oilfield for several years, where he lost his taste for 9-to-5 office work, now has a day career that is two weeks on, two weeks off.“Sometimes,” he said “people aren't as fortunate as I was. I was lucky. Grace, you know, with God's grace and mercy, I didn't ever do any significant jail time, or penitentiary time, but everybody isn't as fortunate.  Some of them get numbers that ruin their lives — 15, 20, 30 years — that's 16-17-year-old kids who just really were trying to, out of ignorance, make a better life for themselves.”That's in the song, too, with a play on words to indicate the difference: momma praying for Jesus' peace, others spraying a piece.Though he calls himself fortunate, his college career was not easy. “‘Hustle Harder' is this,” he said, and told his story:One day, as he was leaving for work in Houston, a police officer met him at the door with an eviction notice. His roommate had the lease, and he paid her his share of the rent, but she neglected to tell him that she was not paying the landlord.He lost most everything in the eviction. The officer let him take his work backpack, his bags, a pair of pants, one pair of underwear, one shirt, and he went to work.They lived on borrowed floor space for weeks.“The whole time, I had to compartmentalize all of that anger and frustration and still go to work, be able to provide because my kids were still dependent on me, and I still needed to finish school, because that was the purpose of coming down here.”He continued, “So, I couldn't just drop out and work full time, because that would have been failure. Like, what was the point of coming to Houston? I lost everything and didn't even accomplish the goal of what I left for — to get a degree to better your circumstance. So, I finished seeing the course through until I got my degree, but there was some trials and tribulations along the way.”“That,” he concluded, “was hustle harder, hustle smarter. I was not, at this point in my life, going to take a chance of selling some drugs or something like that, like I had in my youth. I was hustle harder, hustle smarter.”Lucid Dreams has six tracks in addition to Hustle Harder: “Tonite,” featuring KG; “L's,” featuring LB; “Persecuted by Pain”; “Making the Bandz”; and “Top of the World.”“Lucid dreams, you know, are the more vivid, explicit type dreams that simulate reality, where you can remember everything perfectly, every detail, where you can see every definition, every pixel. Sometimes life happens to us like that.”And sometimes songs.Connect to Moose Biggz and to his metaphoric rap, reality and hip-hop on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Peace of mind is central to what we do. About our guest: Introducing Natalie, the founder and CEO of Aggieland Pet Sitting in Bryan-College Station, TX! Her professional career in pet care officially began in 2021, although she had previously been a hobby pet sitter since 2016. Natalie began caring for pets on the side while working as a Vet Tech part-time and studying Animal Science at Texas A&M University. Once she graduated in 2020, she took her business to the next level by turning her passion into a full-time career.Originally, Natalie's dream career was to become a Veterinarian, and took the path all through high school and college to reach her goal of being admitted into Texas A&M's School of Veterinary Medicine. However, once she had worked in a clinical setting for many years, along with the knowledge and reflection that comes along with growing and changing, she had a shocking realization that it was no longer her dream career. She decided to put all her eggs in one basket, and start her pet sitting career full-time, establishing Aggieland Pet Sitting in 2021.Starting out as a solo business owner for her first year, Natalie focused on providing peace of mind for her clients by displaying professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail when it came to their pets' individual needs. As a people person, she absolutely loves cultivating a bond not only with her furry clients, but their owners as well. One of her great joys is knowing that her clients had a worry-free time away from home!Once business was successfully growing and she realized she was saying "No" all the time and turning away clients, Natalie made the decision to hire her first employees in 2022. Natalie now has a team of fantastic, professional, award-winning pet sitters and dog walkers that has completely changed her life when it comes to running and operating her pet care business!

 Former Texas House Representative Glen Maxey was born near a refinery in Baytown, Texas, in 1952. His first job was working in a traveling rodeo and his first serious foray into politics was as a student at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, where he led the charge to allow alcohol to be sold in that formerly dry county. Although he was already a known quantity in the Texas Democratic Party by his early 20s, it wasn't till he was almost 30 and left teaching 5th grade in rural Texas that he got his first job working at the Capitol. In 1981 after getting Kent Caperton elected to the State House, Glen was asked to join Representative Caperton's staff and immediately began cultivating a relationship with the most powerful senator in the state, Oscar Mauzy. The following year, Glen lost his own race for an open House seat in Bryan-College Station. He quit teaching and permanently relocated to Austin to join the staff of Sen. Mauzy. Glen lived an extremely closeted life as a gay man. But that ended in 1985, when, using the bull horn of Sen. Mauzy's office, he stood up against Texas's draconian response to the HIV crisis, and overnight became a very public gay rights activist and the first executive director of the Lesbian Gay Rights Lobby (LGRL). No one thought he had a real chance to win an election in Texas in the early 90s; his good friend Governor Ann Richards said, “Don't do it. Even if you win, they'll never let you do what's important.” Glen Maxey proved them all wrong becoming the first out gay man elected to the Texas State House in 1991 and over the next 12 years passing more impactful legislation than any legislator in Texas history.

“Love your neighbor” – it's a simple command with incredible consequences.  Paul and his team share in I Thessalonians 2 how their mission to the city of Thessalonica transformed them as they learned to love (and be loved) by their neighbors.  As we approach a new school year and thousands of strangers descending upon our city, what would it look like if Jesus' church stepped forward and saw every man, woman, and child as a neighbor God loves?  How would Bryan College Station change?  How would we change?

Mississippi State takes on Texas A&M in an absolutely massive basketball game Saturday, and the stakes are high on both sides. Brian Hadad catches up with Aggie beat writer Travis Brown of the Bryan/College Station Eagle to get a preview of one of the hottest teams in the country and what Buzz Williams' squad brings to Starkville.

In this episode, we sit down with Amy Tiemann, a syndicator out of the Texas area who shares with us what she looks for when investing with operators and how to effectively vet an operating team. She also shares with us how she carried over her HR skills to the Multifamily space and her craziest scary story that can potentially make you question if you'd rather be a passive investor over an active one.Amy has a long history in construction - her grandfather started a glass company in 1960, and her father took it over in 1972. Amy spent a lot of time going to job sites with her father. After graduating from Purdue, with a degree in Organizational Leadership, Amy returned home. Her father asked her to join the family business, but she had other plans on her mind.Amy made the move to tech and worked in HR. Amy worked for major companies such as Phillips, IBM, and Applied Materials. Suddenly, in 2001, she found herself going through a painful tech downturn, with the burst of the dot-com bubble. After surviving several rounds of layoffs, Amy found herself burned out in tech and HR. At the time, her husband started a small construction company. Amy realized this was her opportunity to return to a field she knew a lot about, and she was looking for a new challenge.The new construction company was created in 2004. Over the course of 12 years, she built Tiemann Construction into a national retail construction firm servicing 16 states. From there, the company pivoted to multifamily renovations – along with a real estate investing arm of the business, in 2008. Tiemann Construction was named the multifamily vendor of the year for the Austin and San Antonio market for a large real estate investment association in 2012. Tiemann Construction renovated over 50 multifamily properties in Austin, San Antonio, and Bryan/College Station areas.Amy's first multifamily investment was in 2010. Amy and her husband became active in multifamily investing and real estate investing while managing their construction business. By 2015, made the decision to focus on real estate investing, and in 2017 went out on her own.With decades of experience in the real estate industry, Amy brings a well-rounded perspective to the company. A graduate of Organizational Leadership from Purdue University, Amy is able to collaborate cross-functionally in order to bring an unrivaled service level to her properties.
