This week, the format changes up a little bit as EJ and Jimmy hit on a number of small stories that came across Fort Worth. They start off with expected increases in holiday travel and the airlines, especially American and Southwest with hubs in DFW (1:50) and its effect on a struggling industry, and what the Halloween holiday may look like in Tarrant County (15:10). With the election looming, they take some time to talk about voter turnout in Tarrant County and Texas so far, as well as the late announcement that Kamala Harris will be visiting Texas this week (18:50).
