15 on Fridays with Fletch – Meet the legendary “Mark Twain of the Texas Plain” – who has produced over 14,000 interviews, mostly featuring colorful Texans.

Tumbleweed Smith helps us understand what makes Texas so uniquely… Texas!

His first interview was with actor Jon Voight, who had shot the initial 10 minutes of his first movie, “Midnight Cowboy,” in Big Spring. Voight returned 40 years later for our guest’s 10,000th program.

Please watch, listen, and learn from the man who has brought fascinating people who embody the spirit of our Lone Star State into the homes and hearts of Texans. “The Sound of Texas” is one of the longest-running syndicated radio programs in Texas.

You’ll see why he was recently inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame.

15 on Fridays with Fletch – The Car Pro shares the secrets of buying a new car, truck, or SUV at the end of 2025.

Hint: If you wait until January or February to buy, you will pay THOUSANDS MORE, no matter which brand of vehicle you plan to buy, because:

1. Every MANUFACTURER is trying to reach national sales goals

2. Every DEALER has set goals and is offering incentives

3. Individual SALESPEOPLE will negotiate more to reach their own incentives

4. Every manufacturer is offering REBATES/CASH BACK or LOW INTEREST

5. SOME MANUFACTURERS are offering BOTH… REBATES/CASH Back + LOW INTEREST

Jerry Reynolds… the former #1 Ford dealer in Texas at Prestige Ford in Garland, who created his own radio show 24 years ago… is THE TRUSTED VOICE for the car business. He’ll tell you what you need to hear, even if it may offend one of the manufacturers or dealerships.

In his words, “People call me because they trust I’ll give them good car advice.”

Jerry’s so legendary that he was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame this past November.

Clark Griswold from the “Christmas Vacation” movie would be jealous of the Christmas lights in Arlington.

Because today’s guest has led the nationally ranked Interlochen Christmas Lights Display in Arlington for the past 15 years, many people call Ralph Sobel “Mr. Christmas.”

He leads the fabulous Christmas tour, which was rated #8 in the nation by PEOPLE MAGAZINE. Check out the details:

· 50th year of this glorious event

· Tour of 200 homes lighted for the Christmas season

· 2-mile trail

· 7 of the original families from 50 years ago still participate in the tradition

· No two homes’ decorations are the same

Check out the “Griswold House” that is as over the top as the “Christmas Vacation” movie, and realize that two of that homeowner’s neighbors are equally competitive to win “The Griswold Award.

Some neighbors were so over-the-top that their next-door neighbor created a sign that read “Ditto,” with an arrow pointing to the lavishly decorated house.

Welcome to 15 on Fridays with Fletch. We trust you’ll join in the festive Christmas season even though our temperatures are in the 70s!
