On Friday's show: We check in with Houston Public Media’s Dominic Anthony Walsh about a pair of transportation developments: highlights from Thursday’s METRO board meeting, and the latest on the controversial TxDOT I-45 expansion project.

Also this hour: We talk with some Houston-area restaurant owners about the impact Beryl and the derecho before it have had on their businesses and the restaurant industry overall.

Then, from Astros mascot Orbit’s inspired reversal against booing Rangers fans at baseball’s All-Star Game, to Elon Musk’s announcement he’s relocating two more company headquarters to Texas, this week’s “non-expert” panel weighs in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And we visit a rehearsal for the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston’s production of Ruddigore.
