Bryan Police say an officer struck a man twice to stop him from biting his grandmother's foot after he stabbed his uncle.

So, the hour opens with city business. The news read lands on a College Station Planning and Zoning agenda item about taking a Pebble Creek Parkway extension out of the comprehensive plan. City documents connect the proposal to support from 23 Pebble Creek residents at a city meeting last week, plus 40 Pebble Creek residents who spoke to council last September. Councilman David White's earlier comments complicate it a bit: build the extension someday, but start by limiting it to emergency vehicles. Then the room loosens up quickly. A TV season finale going to movie theaters turns into a small puzzle over why shows keep showing up somewhere other than the place viewers expect. Nobody sounds especially convinced. The crew compares it with a Peaky Blinders release that briefly played in theaters before moving to Netflix, which at least worked for one person at the table. Breakfast news gets the side-eye after that. Burger King's limited candied maple bacon items draw exactly the kind of practical disbelief this show runs on, with the menu names doing plenty of the lifting. Papa John's is selling sandwiches too, apparently. The crew runs through ciabatta-style bread, special garlic sauce, white American cheese, and versions built around chicken bacon ranch, Philly cheese, and steak with mushroom. The price lands around eight bucks, which sends the talk toward pizza places chasing more market share in a tight field. By the end, Easter candy takes over. The closing stretch becomes a family-memory check on how far the Easter bunny used to range when hiding eggs around houses and grandparents' property. Inside or outside depended on weather. At one grandparents' place, the hiding went far enough that keeping everything near the house was clearly not the idea. It is local radio in motion: city planning, streaming confusion, fast-food experiments, and backyard Easter logistics all sharing the same morning table.
