Sunday ninety nine point onond Houston's Best Variety of the
eighties nineties and today I'm so glad you're listening.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm Dana with producer.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Anthony and we've got the three things you need to
know to get your Wednesday, April second started. Well, we've
found out that the Forbes list of the richest people
in the world is out and Houston billionaire Tilman Fertita
is on that list, worth eleven point three billion. You
think he'd be in the top ten.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
No, you would think he's two hundred and twenty on
the list.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Man now a newcomer, Kathy Britten from Houston two point
six billionaire. She's the CEO of Perry Holmes. She's number
fourteen oh eight on that list. Fifteen others from Houston
made the list as well. Well Spring's first full moon,
known as the Pink Moon, lights up the sky April
twelfth for all of you who love to get out
at night and look at the stars.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And the moon.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Unlike a super moon, which appears bigger, this is a
micro moon. It looks smaller and dimmer, and it's the
smallest full moon of the year. And it's not actually
gonna be pink. It's gonna have more of a golden hue. Cool,
something to look forward to. And then we're learning that
actor Val Kilmer has died. He was Batman, he was rocker,
Jim Morrison, he was iceman in Top Gun. He has
(01:17):
been battling throat cancer for years. His daughter said he
died of pneumonia. He was sixty five years old. And
your weather, We've got some clouds to start. It might
be kind of a hazy, cloudy day, but the sun
will be peeking through. We're gonna warm up to eighty five,
nice and breezy. Now seventy three in Uptown, and you're
up to date on sunny. Tell me something good brought
(01:40):
to us by our friends at Goodwill Houston will Chick
fil a as their chocolate.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Milkshakes are amazing. My mom and I had one the
other day.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
It was so strawberries really good too, but they're chocolate
chip cookies. Mom had oral surgery, so she had the milkshake.
I had the chocolate chip cookies, and lo and behold,
I find out they're teaming up with the Astros all
month long, the Astros Foundation fighting hunger, one cookie at
a time, through April thirtieth. Every time you bite into
(02:07):
one of their warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies solo, the
six pack or a whole tray, Chick fil A is
going to donate a portion to local charities helping to
feed our food insecure.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Here in the face, isn't that a great idea? You're
so good?

educators and school admin people.

And today I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Dana with producer Anthony, and we were talking about siblings
growing up in the same bedroom and you know, you
hate it when your kids but our nearly impossible question,
we learned that there's a silver lining. The kids who
share a bedroom grow up to be closer as adults. Right, Yeah,
you know you just kind of have to hang in there.
You learn about eat right exactly and so we're asking
(04:04):
you if that's been the case for you. And we've

going on right now.

siblings do you have?

to share a bedroom unless you grew up in a mansion.

share a bedroom with?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Right, tell us about the the the two others, but
both brothers, they.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Were both sisters, they got separate rooms, okay, privacy, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So you were you sharing a bedroom with any of
your siblings?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah? I shared them with three of my brothers.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Okay, so it was four of you in one room.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, but it was a pretty big room.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It was a big room. How did you guys like that?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Like, were you in bunk beds or did you have
twin sized beds?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
We had bunk beds, steparate in this one size bed. Yeah,
and we were all fine with it. We enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Like how long I bet you did? How old were
you guys when you were when you were in that room.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Gosh, I was maybe fourteen at the oldest.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah. Yeah, are you the oldest of the seven?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I'm the oldest of five of them?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Five? Okay? Oh okay, Wow? How do you how did
this shape your life?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Like? What do you think about growing up in such
a big family with all those siblings?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
It was very hectic at times, but it was I
got to say, it was a lot more action packed
than you know smaller families could be at times.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Absolutely, I'll bet, I'll bet.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And so today, are you relatively close to the to
your brothers that you stayed in the same bedroom with?

the fact that your parents were able to pull this
off right and you're still here to talk about it.
