On Tuesday's show: A Tesla crashed into a Katy home on Friday, killing a 76-year-old woman. The driver told police the vehicle was in an automated driving mode. While no criminal charges have yet to be filed in the case, a legal expert discusses the liability questions that stem from incidents involving such vehicles.Also this hour: We've heard a lot about the toll large data centers might take on water and energy demand in Texas. But how might they also affect the weather and climate around them -- including here in Houston? Then, experts talk about efforts in Texas to combat the New World screwworm and how to deal with it and other unwanted pests and invasive species in our environment. And, ahead of the Houston Punk Fest June 26-27, we revisit a conversation from 2025 paying homage to the Houston bands that made up the Texas punk rock scene of the '70s and '80s.Watch

(but thanks for that quote anyway). Hosted by Klein, Ally, and a cast of weirdos (both on the team and from their audience), the show is known for its raw, offbeat style, offering a mix of sarcastic banter, candid interviews, and an unfiltered take on everything from culture to the chaos of everyday life. With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal. 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) examines some of the most significant challenges and opportunities facing today's farming community. The conversation explores some of the most pressing issues affecting agriculture today, from the ongoing struggles of Florida's citrus industry to broader concerns surrounding dairy farming and food policy in the United States. The discussion explores the devastating impact of invasive pests originating from China that have threatened citrus groves across Florida, leading to significant production challenges for growers. Doug highlights the research, innovation, and potential solutions being pursued to help the citrus industry recover and remain viable for future generations. The episode also takes a closer look at the current state of dairy farming in America, including conversations surrounding raw milk, consumer demand, and the role dairy producers play in the nation's food system. In addition, Doug addresses broader food policy and agricultural challenges facing farmers and ranchers, exploring how regulations, market forces, and government decisions continue to shape the future of American agriculture. Together, these topics provide listeners with valuable insight into the opportunities and obstacles confronting today's farming communities.

It's time for another Listener Mail episode, and as always, the High on Home Grown community brings the questions that get us thinking! This week we discuss the relationship between compost and pest management, and whether using homemade compost indoors carries the same risks as bringing pests in from the garden. We also dive into outdoor growing, covering the common pests, diseases, and warning signs growers should be keeping an eye out for throughout the season, from powdery mildew and honeydew to insects and environmental issues. We answer questions about reusing Grove-style curing bags, how long they last, and whether they need cleaning between harvests. The conversation then turns to travel, favourite holiday destinations, cannabis tourism, social clubs, and why consumption lounges haven't become more widespread in parts of the United States. Finally, we discuss what makes certain cannabis strains command such high prices, looking at genetics, rarity, breeding work, marketing, hype, and whether some strains are genuinely worth the premium. As always, it's a laid-back mix of growing advice, cannabis culture, travel chat, and community questions, with plenty of laughs along the way.

In this Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a wave of biological, political, and security threats hitting the US and the world simultaneously, from flesh-eating screwworms confirmed in Texas to a jihad-sympathizing doctor now headed to Congress. The screwworm confirmation in LaPryor, TX is the opening shot of what Bryan says will be a serious blow to America's beef supply, compounded by historic drought across the West and Midwest that is forcing ranchers to sell off their best herds. On the national security front, Bryan breaks down the newly elected New Jersey Democrat with documented ties to the Blind Sheikh and an al-Qaeda front operation in Bosnia, and explains why he believes the Democratic Party's embrace of this candidate represents something far more dangerous than politics as usual. Plus, Bryan covers the Iran-Hezbollah ceasefire unraveling in real time, a mysterious group of men working through New York City's sewer system in the middle of the night, a superseding DOJ indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center revealing decades of manufactured hate, and a major geopolitical win in the Pacific as the Solomon Islands moves to sever its ties with China.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan reveals that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reportedly offered his resignation, admitting the IRGC, not the civilian government, is now firmly in control of Iran and its stalled peace talks with President Trump. Bryan tracks satellite images showing Iran using the ceasefire to dig out buried missiles and drones, a US Hellfire strike on a cargo ship running the naval blockade, and warnings from Chevron, Exxon, and Aramco that global oil supplies could hit a panic-buying breaking point in just two to three weeks, with prices potentially spiking past $150 a barrel. He also covers Israel's deepest push into Lebanon in 25 years and the capture of the Crusades-era Beaufort Castle, then makes the case that Trump's best play now is a bare-bones Iran deal so he can pivot to the bigger threat at home: an Islamo-Marxist Democrat movement organizing violent ICE protests with funding from Roy Singham and George Soros. Plus, Bryan unpacks the concept of Taqiyya and what it means for vetting figures like Zohran Mamdani, a screwworm case creeping toward Texas cattle country, a promising new blood test that distinguishes four forms of dementia with 92% accuracy, and surprising research on how multiple AI chatbots can fact-check each other to deliver better medical answers.

The Apple Pest Cooperator Network is a group of apple orchards throughout the state of Wisconsin that monitor insect populations through pheromone traps. Growers who participate in the program record the number of pests found in their trap and send those details to DATCP. From there, folks like entomologist Krista Hamilton record the numbers and publish the counts to their website and Field Notes newsletter. In turn, the numbers collected by the Apple Pest Cooperator Network provides a valuable tool for orchards across the state of Wisconsin. Krista sat down and explained to me exactly how the network works. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's Grow Guides, episode 86, we focus on one of the most important topics for any home grower, preventing disasters before they happen. We break down the biggest risks growers face, starting with heatwaves and temperature spikes, and how quickly things can go wrong if your environment isn't under control. We also cover power cuts and equipment failures, and why having a plan in place can be the difference between saving your crop and losing everything. We dive into pest prevention, explaining why stopping infestations before they start is far easier than trying to fix them later. From there, we cover mold and bud rot, including the conditions that cause them and how to avoid them completely. We also talk about overwatering and root zone issues, one of the most common mistakes growers make, and how it quietly damages plant health over time. And finally, we tackle the biggest cause of problems in any grow room, human error. Along with the importance of good habits, clean setups, and proper grow room hygiene. This episode is all about staying one step ahead, avoiding costly mistakes, and keeping your grow running smoothly from start to finish.

From how men and women hear sound differently, to why women tend to live longer, to how hormones influence behavior in surprisingly specific ways, these differences are deeply rooted in biology and evolution.

She holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University and is author of Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution (https://amzn.to/3SgBUlO). Rats, insects, bees, deer, spiders — the world is full of creatures we label as “pests.” But what actually makes an animal a pest? And why do humans respond to some species with fear, anger, or extermination, while others get sympathy or protection?
