Episode LXXIII (73): RYAN FITERMAM & the AUTOGRAPH SHOW OF TEXAS - Tonight we are excited to have Ryan Fiterman of Fiterman Sports joining us LIVE in studio for a conversation about this weekend’s massive Autograph Show of Texas, January 24-26 at the Pasadena Fair Grounds Campbell Center, and his interesting business and life in general. While his Facebook feed displays evidence of private flights with clients/friends Mike Tyson and Pete Rose, attending galas with Houston’s Legendary 34s (Hakeem Olajuwon, Earl Campbell and Nolan Ryan) and even hanging in a smoke-filled room with Snoop Dog, the humble and honorable Fiterman doesn’t brag nor boast like many with a fraction of his experiences could and has built and grown a very unique business on his personal reputation and the relationships that result. We look forward to discussing the evolution of Fiterman Sports from the start, to opening a showcase store in Baybrook Mall’s expansion back 2016 and some of the awesome appearances and promotions since. But tonight’s show is also about the immediate future as Fiterman is bringing a star-studded lineup to Pasadena this weekend for his biggest promotion yet, a one-of-a-kind, 3-day autograph, memorabilia and collectors convention appropriately named the Autograph Show of Texas. The list of celebrities scheduled to attend span across the spectrum of professional wrestling (Million Dollar Man / Randy Orton / Roman Reigns), TV/Movies (Jaleel White "Steve Urkel" / Mario Lopez “AC Slater” / Mark-Paul Gosselaar “Zach Morris” / Ralph Macho “Daniel LaRusso / Sandlot Crew - All Six Members), UFC Icons (Randy Couture / Matt Hughes), Basketball (Clyde Drexler / Rudy Tomjanovich / Dennis Rodman), Football (Lawrence Taylor / Ricky Williams / Vince Young), and the first and possibly only appearance of Houston’s Legendary 34s (Hakeem Olajuwon, Earl Campbell and Nolan Ryan) all together for one of a kind combo photo and autograph opportunities. And I’m sure we will discuss some of the autograph inscription opportunities at this weekend’s show including “Sorry I Bet on Baseball” from Pete Rose, “Don't Mess With Texas” from Nolan Ryan “Crain Kick!” from Ralph Macchio/Daniel LaRusso, “Bad Mother F**ker” from Lawrence Taylor” or a marijuana-related inscription from Ricky Williams. If time allows, we plan to tease even more of what is on tap this weekend in beer, music and events thanks to our friends at The SCENE Magazine including the highly regarded TEXAS FLOOD- A TRIBUTE TO STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN AND THE BLUES just down the street from the studio at Scout Bar on Saturday (1/25) or GCPH-favorite the Blaggards tomorrow night (Friday 1/24) at Kemah’s world famous T-bone Tom’s. We are also very curious about Church Of Cash, considered the best Johnny Cash Tribute show on planet Earth, tomorrow (1/24) night at Jackie’s Brickhouse. And don’t forget the annual NASA Go Texan Fashion Show & Luncheon tomorrow (1/24) afternoon at one of our favorite venues, the Lone Star Flight Museum. Thirsty yet?
