In this week's episode, I'm joined by two former cast members for the Walt Disney Company. Robby and Jillian had several different roles throughout the years they spent with TWDC, and it was fun to discuss those with them. Robby had the unique priviledge of introducing Captain America to Disney Cruise Line, so we discuss that experience, as well. They also recently cruised with some extended family on the Magic from Galveston, so we had LOTS to talk about! I hope you enjoy.  Happy New Year!

Clint Black, country music legend, opens up about his remarkable debut album that achieved something unprecedented in music history—five consecutive number-one hits across any genre. The Houston native spent a decade "eking out a living" performing in bars around Houston, Tomball, Clear Lake, Surfside, Galveston, and Spring before his overnight success, including one surreal night performing for an audience of just one—a heavily intoxicated woman who told him he "kicked her in the gut" before rummaging through her purse for what he feared might be a gun. Black shares the origin story of his hit "Killing Time," born from a conversation with songwriting partner Hayden Nicholas about how slowly the music industry wheels were turning during a drive to yet another $50 gig. He reveals that while he believed in his songs and knew he was with a strong record company (RCA), he didn't truly understand how unlikely his success was until articles explained that having the year's number one and two singles hadn't happened for a solo artist since Hank Williams 35 years prior, and five consecutive number-ones had never happened in any music genre in history.The artist reflects on his adventurous Houston childhood, including dangerous bayou expeditions where he nearly drowned being trapped underwater by a fallen tree with a poisonous water moccasin in his face, requiring three attempts to surface before his friend Mark Hogue grabbed the snake by the tail and flung it away. Black offers profound wisdom from his 29-year marriage to actress Lisa Hartman Black, sharing Roy Rogers' advice to "never go to bed angry" and his own communication philosophy learned from studying psychology—never tell someone what their intent was, only how they made you feel, allowing them to correct misunderstandings while assuming the best of their intentions. He promotes his new album "Out of Sane" releasing June 19th with all original songs except a reinvented cover of Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talking," and discusses his work honoring fallen Navy SEAL Kyle Milliken through his music video "America's Still in Love with You" and efforts to drive support to the Kyle Milliken Foundation, which assists Gold Star Families and struggling military community members. Black emphasizes the privilege of meeting great Americans who sacrifice so much, encouraging fans to contribute to the foundation because "nickels and dimes add up to millions of dollars and they will change lives."

//The Wire//2300Z December 23, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MEXICAN NAVY AIRCRAFT CRASHES IN GALVESTON, 2X SURVIVORS RESCUED BY GOOD SAMARITANS. INVESTIGATION INTO BROWN UNIVERSITY CONTINUES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Caribbean: Yesterday the Pentagon announced the shelling of another narco-submarine, which was sunk in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. One individual was reported killed during the strike, though a full Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) has not been provided due to the nature of the submersible craft making it hard to count home many people were really on board.-HomeFront-Texas: Last night a Mexican Navy aircraft transporting medical patients crashed in the waters off the coast of Galveston while attempting to land. The flight was carrying medical patients who were to undergo surgery at the Shriner's Children's Hospital in Galveston. So far, of the 8x people onboard the aircraft 5x fatalities have been confirmed, with 2x survivors and one individual remaining missing.Analyst Comment: The accident appears to be the result of poor visibility at the time of the crash, and the fact that anyone survived at all is a sheer miracle. One woman was rescued from the wreckage by a good Samaritan who responded to the crash site, jumped in the water, and pulled her from the airframe. Other volunteers also helped recover everyone they could from the debris before it sank. The status of the survivors is not clear, however all were in extremely serious condition when they were rescued from the aircraft.Pennsylvania: This afternoon an explosion was reported at the Silverlake Nursing Home in Bristol. A mass casualty situation was declared as a significant blast destroyed part of the structure. Analyst Comment: At the time of this report, this is a developing situation and the casualty count is not yet known. The cause of the blast is also not confirmed, however initial assessments suspect this may have been the result of a natural gas leak.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the investigation into the Brown University shooting has continued, more information has come to light that clarifies some details of the incident. The Chief of the Brown University campus Police Department has been placed on leave as testimony indicates the shooter was observed acting suspiciously within the Barus and Holley building in the weeks leading up to the mass shooting. Derek Lisi, the custodian who works within the engineering building complex, stated that he reported the shooter to security over a dozen times for acting suspiciously. His tips were ignored and no investigation was launched.Regarding the lack of security camera footage, some useful information has actually arisen from a journalist during a press conference. The press conferences involving Chief Perez, AG Neronha, and others have become regularly disastrous to the point that even journalists are becoming hostile toward how poorly this is being handled. During one press conference, a journalist started asking a question which rapidly became more of a tirade, which accused the officials of something very specific. The journalist stated that the reason for certain cameras not functioning is because they were actually taken down completely at the request of a few dozen different activist groups, who wrote letters to Brown University demanding the school protect illegal immigrant students.So far this has not been confirmed as it's very unlikely for Brown University to incriminate themselves now (the press conferences have definitely become a "plead the fifth" kind of arrangement at this point). However, if this is true, this would line up with the initial suspicions expressed during the early moments after the shooting. Removing security cameras for social justice reasons has always been a main theory from the very start, and now it's looking

Before he became one of America's most infamous suspects, Robert Durst was the eccentric son of a New York real estate dynasty. In this first installment of our three-part series, we explore the 1982 disappearance of his wife Kathie Durst, the 2000 execution-style murder of his best friend Susan Berman, and Robert's flight to Galveston, Texas, where he lived disguised as a mute woman.What connects these deaths? And who is the dismembered neighbor whose body parts washed up in Galveston Bay?

On this special holiday episode of The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with Doc Brown Farm and Distillery founders Amy Brown and Paige Dockweiler for a conversation rooted in family, farming, and true grain to glass distilling. More than distillers, Amy and Paige are stewards of the land, driven by a shared determination to keep small scale farming alive at a time when doing things the right way is harder than ever. The episode opens with Amy and Big Chief sipping on Effie Jewel, a deeply personal release from a January 2021 crop built on a mash bill of 75% Jimmy Red corn, 10% Abruzzi rye, 10% wheat, and 5% barley. Eight barrels were sent to Galveston in July 2024, where the Gulf Coast climate left its mark before returning home in April 2025 for extended aging. Bottled at 101 proof and limited to 1,900 bottles, Effie Jewel will be allocated across Texas, Georgia, and online, with a major direct to consumer release event at DOMA on February 8. From there, the tasting moves to Southern Ember, followed by Day Swigger, which also serves as the base for both the Honey Expression and Hot Honey Expression. These pours highlight what sets Doc Brown apart. The honey and peppers come straight from the farm, just like the grain, reinforcing a farm first mindset where every ingredient has a story and a purpose. Throughout the conversation, Amy and Paige open up about the grit it takes to keep farming viable. They discuss balancing unpredictable weather, rising costs, regulations, and the physical demands of working the land while building a spirits brand rooted in integrity. Their tenacity shows as they talk about preserving heirloom grains, protecting farmland, educating consumers, and proving that farming and distilling can still coexist without compromise. In the second half of the episode, Paige joins Amy and Big Chief to sip on the Salted Caramel Bourbon Cream and Coffee Bourbon Cream. These rich, comforting pours are perfect for a cold holiday morning or a slow day spent relaxing with family. We hope you have enjoyed the ride throughout 2025 on The Whiskey Trip Podcast. From Woodrow, Ms. Viv, and of course Ol' Big Chief, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Pour something good and take the ride.

On the 11th Nightmare Before Christmas... On a sunny November morning in 1971, best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson, both just 15, set out for a day of surfing near Galveston, Texas. The two girls were inseparable—bonded by their shared love of the beach, the waves, and the promise of youth. Maria, a newcomer to Galveston, had already endured a turbulent childhood. After her parents split, she bounced between homes and schools before settling into Ball High School. Shy but friendly, she quickly found her place. She loved water skiing, dated a local ski jumper, and spent her weekends at the beach. Debbie, by contrast, was a lifelong islander, what locals called a BOI (“born on the island”). With one brown eye and one blue-green eye, she stood out immediately. She was bold, competitive, and passionate about water sports, often making the local news for her water skiing competitions. Surfing was her favorite pastime, and her friends remembered her as fun, magnetic, and endlessly outgoing. That Sunday, November 14, they planned a short trip to Houston, just over an hour's drive away, to spend the day exploring. Since neither girl had a car, they decided to hitchhike, a common and almost carefree practice in the early 1970s. Witnesses later reported seeing them outside a Baskin-Robbins near Stewart Beach, laughing and chatting as they bought ice cream. A white van pulled up to the curb. The driver asked where they were headed. “Houston,” one of the girls said. It was his route, he told them. They climbed in. They were never seen alive again.

Think of a cruise that gives more than sunsets and selfies. We set out from San Juan on Disney Magic after a 15-year gap, fresh off real-life health hurdles, and built a trip around slow joy: a food-forward Puerto Rico layover, a rum masterclass at the Bacardí Founders Experience, and a calm-first plan onboard with concierge comforts, spa therapy, and long, quiet reads on the veranda.San Juan set the tone. The Flavors of San Juan tour steered us to small, soulful hits—guava-butter croissants, passion fruit paletas, ceviche, alcapurrias, and DIY mofongo—before a standout dinner at La Central reset our steakhouse expectations. At Bacardí, we tasted the spectrum from raw, punchy spirit to oak-softened elegance in their rackhouse, then bottled and waxed our own distillery-only reserve. Pro tip: skip the ferry and rideshare straight to the pavilion for smoother timing.Onboard, we leaned into what felt good. Animator's Palette still crescendos to Sorcerer Mickey, while Rapunzel's Royal Table brings ruffian comedy and a lantern-lit second act. Palo remains the surest bet—go a la carte at dinner for gnocchi and soufflé bliss, and protect brunch appetite for savory stars. Soul Cat Lounge became our hangout, with Soul Duo's live sets turning evenings into an easy groove. Not everything sparkled: bar service across ship and islands felt green and slow at times. Kind people, longer waits—worth noting if timing matters to you.Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point impressed. The landscaping has flourished, shade is thoughtful, and Serenity Bay's sand feels like powdered sugar underfoot. The water clarity blew us away, and the Goombay Cultural Center's Junkanoo celebration added authentic Bahamian culture you don't get at Castaway Cay. Speaking of Castaway, our short day still delivered familiar joy and a peek at upgrades coming to Serenity Bay. We wrapped in Galveston with decompression time and an unexpected Wicked screening, then headed home grateful for an itinerary that prioritized restoration.If you love Disney Cruise Line, San Juan food, rum tasting, Lookout Key insights, and real-world tips for sailing concierge, this one's for you.

Welcome to Episode 81 - Texas Economy in the 1850s, Cotton, Tariffs, and Boomtowns. Today's show is a little shorter than most. I was really afraid I'd start to get political and lose my focus. TBH, I'm tremendously opposed to tariffs, especially when they affect agriculture and working folks. Anyway....Here's a partial transcript Today, we're traveling back to the 1850s—a decade of cotton, cattle, and booming ports, but also one of economic tension and national panic. Imagine standing on the docks of Galveston in 1855. Sailors unload heavy bales of cotton destined for England, while merchants hustle to get imported tools, fine fabrics, and wine onto wagons bound for Houston and beyond. This bustling port was Texas's economic lifeline, connecting rural plantations to global markets. Cotton was king in East Texas, and thanks to low federal tariffs, planters could buy imported goods without breaking the bank. Meanwhile, settlers and ranchers across the state were doing the same, relying on affordable tools and supplies to carve out farms on the frontier. During this decade, the United States had some of the lowest tariffs in its history. The Walker Tariff of 1846 and the Tariff of 1857 brought import taxes down to roughly 17–25%, depending on the product. For Texas, that meant cheap imports and profitable exports. Unlike the industrial North, which wanted protective tariffs to shield factories from British competition, Texans had little industry to protect. Low tariffs suited the state's agricultural economy perfectly. But 1857 also brought the Panic of 1857, a nationwide financial crisis. In New York and Philadelphia, banks failed, factories closed, and workers were laid off by the thousands. Across the Midwest, farmers watched wheat prices collapse. Now, here's the fascinating part: Texas largely escaped the worst of it. Cotton prices stayed steady, and the state's rural economy—while affected by some credit shortages—remained stable. Newspapers at the time proudly reported that Texas's soil and cotton shielded its citizens from Northern calamities, reinforcing the belief that the Southern economic system was stronger than the North's industrial model.

Are primitive, tribal people still living in the United States in modernity? Are feral people or “wild men” living in the shadows of Texas?  Chester Moore and Lyle Blackburn investigate chilling reports from Trinity Bay to the Big Thicket. What's really lurking in the wild woods of Texas? In this gripping new episode of Dark Outdoors, host Chester Moore teams up with Lyle Blackburn to explore disturbing reports of feral humans, primitive tribes, and mysterious wild men said to roam the deep wilderness of Texas. From the windswept marshes of Trinity Bay near Galveston to the shadowy trails of the Big Thicket National Preserve, Chester and Lyle uncover forgotten tales, firsthand accounts, and investigative research that point to off-grid people living outside the norms of society—some possibly for generations.
