  Speaker 6: can make you happier than anything else in this world.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: Working in the NHL, that's the one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: That's the one, Riley, and we might have ourselves an
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: NHL team coming to the State of Tech.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's possible they have put Texas on the expand map,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: which is not a dumb idea.
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: We have a huge amount of hockey fans down here
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that that you know, support kids, support more than just
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the stars.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: Uh. They're eyeing two cities.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: That's the question. What two cities are we lying?
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: Houston, which makes sense, I mean in debate for years. Yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: it's a big city, right, yeah. Uh. The other is Austin.
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: I could see Austin as well.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: My first thought was San Antonio because Santonio has been
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: trying to get a baseball team forever. Football team that
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: ain't gonna happen, but a baseball team maybe maybe the only,
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: the only pro franchise they have with the Spurs. But
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: then you think Austin because they've tried to steal the
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Spurs number one, they have no pro franchises, which I
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: think is I don't.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: Think that's true.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: University of Texas is a pro that's a pro level to.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Most most college teams are. Yeah, it's like in the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: big in the Big League.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's the same guys, it's the same thing practically.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: But yeah, So if you had to pick, I would
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: pick Austin.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You'd pick Austin simply because of the central location. You'll
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you'll draw people from San Antonio. You'll draw people from
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Brian College, Station, Waco, you know, every place else that's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: not Dallas you.
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: Will draw people from. So I think the location there.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I think they have more ability to create infrastructure in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Austin than they do in Houston, right, I just I think.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: So They've got this guy, Dan Friedkin and his family
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: about to They're spending six months studying where whether Austin
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: or Houston could support a team. They've got a three
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: point five billion dollar investment fund.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Support it. You already have three point five billion. Who
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: needs to support it?
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: Problem with it is it would expand the NHL to
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: thirty three teams, and it would make it an it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: thirty it's thirty two teams now, So there's there's four
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: conferences within like no, okay, it's four, but.
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: You gotta have payers.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: Basically, yes, they would have to bring another team onto
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: the other side, but it also would mess up like
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: the Metropolitan the Central, like there's different there's four different
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: within two sides.
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: It's a whole thing. So they have to strategically plan it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: And normally what they do is when they expand, it
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: would be four team expansion because they would add a
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: team to each of the divisions.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Or fourteen expands or so I've heard talk, and I'm
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: not I don't have my ear to the ground of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the NHL. But I did see this story come across
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: some discussion because American players are being booed out of
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Canada's hockey teams right after the Olympics.
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: Where we stomped them.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: They're not happy.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: They're not happy that all these American players that come out.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I've heard that there might be a split in the NHL,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a split of Canada, Canada, and the United States.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: You you can't have hockey without Canada.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: What we can we beat them?
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: They haven't won in forever.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: This is what led us to not having a Texas
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: versus Texas A and M matchup for a decade and
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: a half.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Some rivalries are too important to let die. You need
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: the Canadians.
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: Think like this though, So okay, I figured it out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: You have the Metropolitan Atlantic they're in the Eastern Conference,
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: and you have the Western Conference which is Central, which
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: Dallas is in, and then you have the Specific which
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: is like all your East coast right, So, well, what
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: happened is you'd have to expand it or what they
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: could do if they don't want to be in commutes
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: with Canada. Canada only has seven teams in the NHL.
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, not a ton.
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: The majority are in the United States. So what they
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: would do is your ones in Canada that aren't as
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: highly I don't think they would ever leave Toronto. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: don't think they could leave Toronto, but I could see
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: them leaving potentially, like I'm looking at I'm honestly like
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: Winnipeg could probably move.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: So you're saying this is a This is a lot
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: more complicated than boy just opening up a I think.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: So hockey franch.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It's either that or we co opt one of the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: states in Canada that wants to join the United States.
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: I'll say this, like, let's think about this for a sec.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna get I'm gonna go Houston on it. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: here's the only reason why I'm with you. I think, Houston,
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: what kind.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: Of hockey team are you gonna have in Austin?
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: A fancy hockey team?
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: Oh, there you go, A roofy.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: Hockey team, right, that's not the cut. That's not I
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: don't know because I not hockey.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Been to a few ice Bats games back in the day,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and there was plenty of donny Brook.
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: Going on, a lot of a lot of scrumps.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I know. If I know there's gonna be fights,
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: that'll uh that'll that'll get me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: Houston has a rough reputation.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: Houston has a reputation where you'd expect them, but that's
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: that's my.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: City.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: They already have pro teams in Houston.
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: You already have the NFL yard of the MLB, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: you have the NBA.
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: Plus the airport situation.
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: If you it would make it just easier for people
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: to travel. Austin has a decent airport, but thinking of
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: it in that category, it would just make the most
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: sense because all of your pro teams are already in
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: that area.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: It's not shocking to see toothless people walking around the
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: airport in Houston already.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Also, that kind of raises something.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: So yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: Twenty nine four five WTAW, good morning. We're the info Maniacs.

• 10:12
  Speaker 6: that we get to experience as sons and daughters of the
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: greatest state of the Union.
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: Yep R.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: What are some of the states icons that are out there? Well,
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: the yellow Rosa Texas obviously, the blue bonnet Texas blue
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: bonded and the state bird being the mocking bird.
• 10:27

  Speaker 7: Two mockingbirds on my skin. You're never going to go away.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: You got a you know, an I state of Texas,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: and some blue bonnets.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: So I would say these things a very equivalent. The
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: blue bonnet is a state icon.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: But we're sitting here getting ready for the show, and
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: we're a news story that just frankly threw us for.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: A loop made me angry.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: So Florida is in a dispute right now.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: They're trying to decide what their state bird is going
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: to be moving forward. A lot of people are advocating
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: for the flamingo because it's a flamingo.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: Flia, Florida.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: How was it not the flamingo?
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: I would have thought it already was, But no, it's
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: a mocking bird.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: It's the mocking bird. Did you know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: We're not the only state in America that claims the
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: mocking bird as the state bird?
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Five?
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: There's five? Five? How is this allowed?
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: I don't know it's an American it's so Florida.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: Florida number one, Arkansas, Arkansas.
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: Is Tennessee in there, Tennessee.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: Who's the other? Mississippi?
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: Mississippi?
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: All of them sitting here claiming our state bird.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: How, I don't know, to be fair, is this like
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: a Canes and Lane's thing of who came first?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had to look it up. We have
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: DIBs by a few months. The Texas legislator a few months.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: The Texas ledature in nineteen twenty seven adopted the mocking
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: bird in January of that year. Yeah, as the state
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: bird in Florida April twenty third of twenty seven.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: So we were first.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: What was going on with people just just snagging like
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: we were all running out of options back then or what?
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: I don't know. There's plenty of birds that you could
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: have picked. Yeah, and let's face it, I mean, the mockingbird,
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: it's not my favorite bird.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: They're kind of jerks.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: It is the worst of the birds. I so we
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: have to you have two options.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Could always just come off it like you know now
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: that now that everyone else wants to have mockingbirds, be like, okay,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: we're on to the next thing.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: What would you pick if the mockingbird won the state
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: bird of Texas. What would I pick? That's a great question.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: I think I have a candidate. What do you got?
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: Wild turkey? That was almost our national bird? Yeah it was.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Franklin was a big fan of the turkeys.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: Don't know why, but he was.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Uh, you know, I'd probably go redtail hawk. Is that
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: a vague? Does anyone else have redtail hawk?
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: Because we were drafting it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I don't want to, you know, obviously want to step
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: on you know. I want something. I want something that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Is uniquely Texas, and unfortunately I don't know that we
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: have that many uniquely Texas birds. I think if I
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: look at a map of state wide birds, a lot
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: of cardinals, a lot of blue jays, a lot of
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: mocking birds, and and like, you know, obviously.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I bet we could find there's bound to be an
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: ornithologist down there.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: That's where are my bird people?
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: Are bird folks? Yeah?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: By the way, we did did have a text come
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: in on this subject from Chasing. He said, check how
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: many states use the northern cardinal?
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: Hmm seven.
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: The road runner is a good one, would be a
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: great one.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: CJ.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: I like the hawk idea, but what about the true
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: state bird of Texas.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: At least it should be our local Brasses county bird.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Y'all.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: It's the Kroger bird. Nailed it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: A special species.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: That is the state. Yeah, doesn't know what the how
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: do you not know what Kroger birds are? Do you
• 14:06

• 31:16
  Speaker 7: No, we don't want we don't want to acknowledge the egret.

  Speaker 8: The dove. The dove not a bad suggestion.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Dove.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: I threw out there that the wild turkey might be
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: a good suggestion.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I asked, I asked the AI, what it suggestion?
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: This is good.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: Yes, let's use the power of our hive mind supercomputer
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: to tell us what our options would be.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: The AI suggested, and the number one slot the northern
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: crested Cara Karra, also known as the Mexican eagle.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: Have you ever seen one of them?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: We had a place out in Washington County. I was
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: out shredding one.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: I ran into one in Washington County.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I didn't know what it was.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I had to take a picture, and a friend of
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: mine who's an ornithologist, told me what it was.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: It freaked me out.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: I was in Santonio, probably about six months and I
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: was I think I was going to the gym, and
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: one was just like outside the gym, I nearly fellow
• 32:07

  Speaker 1: I was like, this is not supposed to be here,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: but apparently they're they're moving north.

• 32:22
  Speaker 7: a wild looking thing.
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: He is.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Number two suggestions the scissor tailed flycatcher. I like a
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: good scissor tale, but that one doesn't do anything.
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: I saw that one.
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: I just thought the name was cool.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, in the number four slot.

  Speaker 7: Scissortail flycatcher.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: And they very popular tattoo bird by the way, Yeah,
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: very popular tattooer.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: In the number four slot. And yes, I'm skipping the
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: number three. I'll come back to it. It's the painted bunting,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the what it's often called the most beautiful bird in
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: North America.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: That's that's guys, that's a bold Yeah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: That's the number three suggestion is the same one that
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I came up with, and that is the wild turkey. Okay, right,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: which was you mentioned it? Benjamin Franklin. He almost pushed
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that into being our national bird of the bird.
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: There is no other state that has the wild turkey
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: as theirs their state. No other state.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Now states will have official birds and official game birds.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: And there are a couple that have the wild turkey
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: as their official game bird. Right, However, nobody has them
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: as their primary state.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: But no one did. Okay day in a textand blue
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: jay would be well see snook hass blue jays. Yeah,

• 33:38
  Speaker 8: I don't like it. I don't dislike it. I don't
• 33:40
