On Monday's show: Houston-area public school districts have recently become inundated with requests for Individualized Education Programs, or IEPs, linked to Texas' new $1 billion school voucher program. Houston Public Media's Bianca Seward joins us to explain.Also this hour: We learn why Corpus Christi could run out of water by next year and discuss the possible ramifications for the state.Then, veterinarian Dr. Lori Teller answers listener questions about their pets.And, we get an update on Astros Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic.Watch

In HEEL, a 20-something ne'er-do-well named Tommy (Ansel Boon) spends his night engaging in total debauchery. Any ingestable pill, powder or liquid is taken. In equal measure, every possible form of fluid is publically expunged from his body. Bouncers are sucker-punched. Women are seduced with inebriated charm. No form of property is safe.Tommy is a fucking shithead. And at the end of the night, he's kidnapped.He wakes up in a dingy basement, chained to the wall by a collar around his neck. A schlubby 40-something named Chris (Stephen Graham) greets him, announcing his intent to reform Tommy into a productive member of society. His team is a family affair: reclusive wife Kathryn (Andrea Riseborough) & sensitive son Jonathan (Kit Ratuksen). As you can expect, Tommy doesn't take too well to this.I'd expect more grime and nastiness with this kind of bad-dude-gets-kidnapped flick but HEEL immediately takes a sharp left turn. What starts as Tommy's attempt to slyly feign trust from the family evolves into mutual understanding and respect. This focus on relationships and Tommy's moral growth leads me to eventually question: Was all of this for the greater good? The chloroform, the elaborate railing system allowing Tommy to explore the home while still chained?When compared to our current prison system, is this approach a better shake? As is often with Jan Komasa's films (SUICIDE ROOM, CORPUS CHRISTI), the answers aren't so clear and it makes for cinema that lingers in my mind after the credits.---Music provided Content ID free by @goodkidbandFollow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!⁠

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As the US tells American citizens to evacuate the Middle East in a warning posted on X, Magid discusses the mixed messaging about the war with Iran from Trump administration officials across a range of statements and press conferences on Monday. US President Donald Trump spoke about the need to rid the Iranian regime of its nuclear capabilities, to destroy its missiles and navy, and then bring about regime change, reports Magid, as well as mentioning possible negotiations with the successors to leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed Saturday in a strike. Trump's stated goals were followed by comments made by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, each of whom offered their own takes on the goals of the war, says Magid. During Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's interview with Fox News, the premier laughed off the idea of Washington being dragged into the war, reports Magid, insisting that Trump believed the US needed to strike Iran to address the threat posed by the regime. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Mike Fehlauer, from New Life Church in Corpus Christi, TX, shares a message of forgiveness and redemption, reminding us to cleanse ourselves of the sins of the flesh AND the sins of the spirit. Because it can determine how one sees the world around them, the heart is very important. With the help and love of Jesus, we can guard our hearts and choose to walk in love and forgiveness not judgement and bitterness.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Election turnout and the Big Lie being pushed on Republicans on combative, contested primary elections. There's a reason for the untruthful narrative and it's not to help the GOP.

In this Special Coverage event, President Donald J. Trump delivers remarks from the Port of Corpus Christi, highlighting what he calls a historic American energy resurgence. Speaking against the backdrop of oil tankers and export infrastructure, Trump outlines rising U.S. oil and natural gas production, falling gasoline prices, and expanded LNG exports. He discusses a renewed relationship with Venezuela, plans to refine and export Venezuelan crude from Texas, and contrasts current energy policies with those of the Biden administration. Trump also addresses inflation, tax cuts including no tax on overtime and tips, prescription drug pricing reforms under a most favored nation model, border enforcement with record-low crossings, and election integrity measures such as voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements. The event features remarks from energy workers, veterans, and border officials, with Trump framing the moment as the beginning of a new “golden age” for America.

Former President Bill Clinton is testifying Friday behind closed doors to a congressional panel about his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton flew on Epstein's plane several times in the early 2000s after he left office, and a tranche of millions of documents released by the Justice Department includes photos of him with women whose faces are redacted. He has denied wrongdoing and expressed regret for his association with Epstein.President Trump is traveling to southern Texas Friday to promote his economic and fossil fuel agenda. The president is set to speak in Corpus Christi, the nation's top exporter of liquefied natural gas. Trump's visit comes as Republicans battle over key House and Senate races ahead of November's midterms.

Houston and Corpus Christi dominate crude oil exports, but the balance between the two hot spots has been shifting in interesting ways recently. In Houston, Enterprise could extend its lead and in Corpus Christi, South Texas Gateway is fighting for the top spot after adding a new pipeline connection last fall.

Months of ads, rallies and campaign travel have brought us to this. On Tuesday, Texas will know whether Jasmine Crockett or James Talarico will be the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. And on the Republican side, will U.S. Sen. John Cornyn survive the toughest GOP primary of his career against Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt? John Moritz of the Austin American-Statesman joins host Jeremy Wallace to break down the closing arguments of all the top candidates and look at the record pace of early voting, with shocking turnout numbers in Harris, Bexar and Collin counties, to name a few. Plus, U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales is vowing never to resign despite new evidence related to an affair he had with a congressional aide who killed herself last year. Finally, President Donald Trump heads to Corpus Christi to tout the economy despite continued criticism that he hasn't done enough to address affordability in America.

A scraped shin, a breezy dock, and the Gulf stretching out like a stage—this one starts chaotic and turns strangely tender. We set up at the bay in Corpus Christi, swing by the Selena statue, and talk about what it means when a city adopts an artist as family. That sparks a music thread—how Selena's warmth and Pantera's grit both shape identity—and why certain songs become rallying cries long after the amps go quiet.From there we roll into the craft. Two shows in one night deliver a split-screen lesson in crowd work: a first set that floats because the host nails the warmup, and a second where two loud guys try to take the wheel. We break down reading the room without losing the room, why a well-timed pause beats a sharp put-down, and how food choices—yes, that pizza between sets—sneak into performance. New material gets a live workout, wobbling and landing all at once.The bay keeps pulling focus. Pelicans fish, doves glide in, a duck maybe stays under too long, and we spiral into the weird beauty of not knowing what any of it means. Hotel life slips into the mix—eggs you shouldn't trust, gyms you only admire, towels you definitely avoid—and somehow those tiny choices feel like the real bandmates of a touring comic. We wrap with a nudge toward art, nature, and adding new skills to who we are, even if it's as simple as taking a walk and paying attention. If you've ever chased calm while the world feels loud, you'll hear something familiar here.If the laughter hits, share it with a friend, tap follow, and leave a quick review—your words help us keep the lights on and the mics up.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/c/DiscombobulatedwithBobbyJaycox
