Welcome to the Ralph report with Ralph Carmen.

Hey there boys and girls, welcome to the Ralph Report for a Monday, February 26th. I'm your old pal, Ralph Garman here with you on a Monday. What a Monday too. If you haven't heard by now,

I don't know if you've seen the news or not, but my I want to deal with this right off the top of the show my good friend and partner Kevin Smith had a massive heart attack last night after performing the first of two shows at the Alex

your love to Kevin as he heals up okay. All right let's get started let's start
