On Friday's show: Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo was censured by county commissioners Thursday for her behavior during a Commissioners Court meeting. We learn what happened. And we get the latest on the ongoing quorum break in Austin.

Also this hour: From late sculptor David Adickes' Beatles statues relocating to a car dealership, to a Danish zoo seeking public donations of pets to feed to its captive predators, our non-experts weigh in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

Then, we revisit a tour we took in 2018 of some of downtown Houston’s most historically significant skyscrapers.

And Whataburger turns 75 today. The fast-food chain’s first location opened on this date in 1950 in Corpus Christi. We reflect on the beloved Texas burger joint's history.
