The War on Women
Mar 9th
Listen in right here!
The GOP race is coming to a rapid closure as key states keep falling to the most likely candidate in the race at this point, Mitt Romney. Meanwhile the final four continue to slam one another and fight to the bitter end. Of late the candidates have taken to attacking the rights of women, who have been able to vote since 1920. Clearly the candidates have forgotten this and that they make up a rather large part of the electorate. The recent battles over contraception, women in combat and more are putting the candidates in a very dangerous situation. Mike and Matt sat down to discuss the recent developments and how the GOP train continues to go off the tracks
Container Bans and Business Propositions
Oct 17th
Listen in right here!
New Braunfels is officially voting on the container ban and the community is divided. Apprently, so is NBL! Matt and Mike talk New Braunfels river etiquette and what is best for the community and local business, along with some solution ideas.
Early voting on the ban, which is going to the public after passing the city council, starts October 24th. Can the Ban , a PAC that is fighting the ordinance #2011-65, is claiming that local business would be devastated. Where can you get the real facts? Looking around the community, there are supporters on both sides, and it is a deeper issue than just whether you can carry a can of beer to the river.
NBL is here to help and we officially have the best ideas out there that everyone can support. That said, it will probably never happen since we all can never get anything constructive done when it combines community and government. Hopefully all the local entrepreneurs and business people don’t steal our ideas. Then again, we are too lazy to get it done so why don’t you!?

QUICK HIT: The Sign that Ate New Braunfels
May 29th
Listen in right here!
Recently an odd sign has appeared on loop 337 at Ridge Hill. It belongs to the Christian Financial Association of America (CFAA). This five minute podcast is about the monstrous sign that is larger than anything of its kind in the area.
Did the city fail to review this permit prior to approving it or did they just ignore city code? There is no way this was an approved construction. It is just huge! It also seems to contain miraculous abilities because it erected in a single night. The post it sits on is easily a foot or two in diameter. Don’t believe us? Go see for yourself or view the shot of it to the right.
If you think it is too big, hit us up on Facebook and vote in our poll.
Music Showdown Take One
Jan 6th
Listen in right here!
Matt and I sat down and did our first music podcast. We are huge music fans and wanted to do something to capitalize on it. I am a guitar player and singer and have played in multiple local bands and Matt has been a hard core Jazz fan for years as well as other genres as well.
So here is what we did. We decided to introduce each other to three new songs and artists that the other has never heard before to expand their horizons. It turned out to be a great idea and crossed all sorts of genres. Check out the different songs we did in this episode below.
On top of that, we did two guilty pleasures. These are songs that would definitely would not be considered “cool” by our friends but we love them.
Matt’s picks:
- Strand of Oaks – Lawns Breed Songs (2:47)
