When my A&M Aggies and Olivia’s USC Trojans go head to head, we couldn’t stay quiet about it. We had some fun this morning. @oliviatylertv #gigem

A smoky sunrise this morning. The high level smoke will lead to red sunrises and sunsets for the next few days. Little to no impact to air quality at ground level.

The Hinterland Headliner Forecast got a little crazy today 🤪 Hinterland Music Festival

ummmmmmmmm.... on Wednesdays, we wear pink Great to be back with Alyx & Eric this morning. 😁

Is Thursday morning too early to think about Happy Hour? 😅 What are the best spots for happy hour? Asking for a friend. 🤣

Raise your hand if you know where Alabama is... 🫣

It's the How-Do-You-Pronounce-It stuff! We all had a go at trying to say it 🤣 Alyx Eric

Sorry if this song gets stuck in your head today but.... WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER 🤣 Eric Alyx

***Dad Joke Alert*** When the weather gets so repetitive day after day, you gotta try to enjoy it somehow 🤪 Eric and Alyx with some sympathy laughs for me so I don't crash and burn

I guess you can say there are some Costco fans on the morning show. 🌭 Alyx Sacks Eric Hanson
