Chicken And Waffle Day! (Hoppe Hour With Ryan Hoppe: 10.20.26)

Ryan Hoppe takes the mic for a Monday morning run that covers the weekend's wildest moments, a surprise reunion with old high school friends in Tampa, and a sharp look at why radio keeps losing its audience. He trades stories about a Tampa dinner with former classmates, a hazy memory from a suburban Illinois party, and the frustrations of a station where talent gets treated poorly. The back half pivots to media commentary, with Ryan breaking down a Hot 97 controversy, a parade of celebrity headlines about Delante West and Chuck Lorre, and the broader question of why traditional radio struggles to keep up with on-demand streaming. Along the way he takes aim at Saturday Night Live's recent sketches, weighs in on Shane Gillis and the Jimmy Carr defense of him, and gives his take on the Eagles' Jalen Hurts injury and the sports media talking heads. 🎧 Music Disclaimer: The music featured in this episode is for educational, commentary, and entertainment purposes only.
