No, no, I'm probably not speaking to the NBA demographic here. What is it, a white person? We can't say he plays for the Rockets? Have you ever heard of a voice white and plays for the Rockets? Have you ever heard of Voice White in Place for the Rocket? No. No.

Well, that's the... We've got nothing. The next question should be, do you have Comcast Sportsnet? I think that's a no. Alright, so are they about to get to you? Well, it looks like one lady is almost done and another lady is trying to create a member account for some guy because she was taking a picture of him. Well we don't have time for people to take pictures of each other, Joe. Well make a scene. Say I'm with the media this

is urgent. Go ahead. Oh here we go I got it. Okay here we go. This is good. Excuse me ma'am, I'm with the radio station and I was wondering if you could pay Royce White. We've been looking for him for a couple days. It's on Darryl. Royce White. Darryl's looking for him. And just let him know that Darryl's looking for him. Oh, no, he doesn't work here. No, he's missing. He's missing. Yeah, we just can't find him. He's missing in the Sams. Are you kidding me? I believe so.

Yeah, they can. Or Target. Because I'm thinking like a restaurant too. Remember we had Les Miles from Grimaldi's? They paged Les Miles at Grimaldi's. Kind of. But we need something bigger. We need to reach a mass audience. All right, tell Job his next stop at four o'clock is going to be, what

Stay there. So we already got the folks at Sam's Club to make an announcement looking for Royce White. Brittany came through big time. Now we go to the Home Depot where Job is located. What's going on Job? Just hanging out in line at your customer service desk. Did you bring the flyers with you? Have you posted any flyers? I've not posted the flyers yet. Do you have any with you? I have them with me, yes. Alright, so you're in line

How close are you to going? Well, I'm next in line and there are two people. One of them just told me that they're going to be here for a while. The other lady has her card in her hand.

Your partner is waiting Josh and Richard are waiting I'm going to pick for you Your wife, please check the physical services I know there's some kind of prank Freaking money! Money again! Oh, Joe, you're the man!

On to a fine dining establishment. Attention McCormick and Schmick customers. Alright, so you're still in the Home Depot, right? Yes. I need you to walk up to someone and show them the picture of Royce White and ask if they've seen him. All right. All right.

By the way, Anna Megan tells us that a local firehouse in Houston has put on its marquee missing rocket called J&R if you found it and is sending us the photo we'll soon have it on the show page. Did you find anybody? Yeah yeah I've got a friend here. What's your name? Lindsay. And you're okay with being on the radio? Sure. Have you ever seen this man? No. Do you think I could find him here? Probably? I don't know. Alright, but you've never seen him? No. Ask her if she suffers from social anxiety disorder. They want to know if she suffered from social anxiety disorder. No. Does she know what that is? Do you know what

that is? No. Is she hot? Jobe, can you tell us if she's hot? She's very cute. All right, what color panties is she wearing? They want to know what color panties you have. She says white. I don't believe her at all though. Now you're flirting. Now you're flirting. We're getting sidetracked. We're getting sidetracked. Job's trying to make a love connection. We're trying to save a man's life. Because I think that Royce would want to know. All right. So you're going to hang up some of these posters throughout town? Yes. All right. Whenever you stop at a gas station, preferably one that has someone with a really

foreign sounding accent, walk in and get us on the phone and ask if we'll be allowed to post some of these signs and maybe they can make a call inside. I don't know if they can do that, but just get, we want somebody with a funny voice is what I'm saying. Okay, I'll work on it. Joe, is she still there? Yes. Ask her who's the shortest, what's the shortest person she's ever slept with?

Oh, they want to know the shortest person you've ever slept with. Um, I think only my husband. Six-ten. Six-ten? Six-ten. I'm guessing I'm striking out here. Did she correct it and scaled it back to five-ten? Yes, yes.

Oh, I thought she said six-ten. She did at first. I thought she said she was five-ten. I was like, well, Jobe doesn't even have to lay down to put his face in her crotch. Six-ten. I mean, six-ten would have worked out very nicely for us here at Sports Radio 610. I was about to ask if she was named the Lajuan. Alright Joe, so stop at a gas station. First of all, hang some of those signs up throughout

town and let us know where you put them so people can find them and go take pictures of them to let them know that they've seen them on polls, on, you know, hand them out to people, whatever. We just got to get the word out that we can't find Royce. Okay. All right. Call us when you're at a gas station, okay? Okay. See ya. And on the JNR if you found if you find it

good enough if you find it is what they wrote good enough that is awesome shout out from JNR to the East Texas volunteer fire department job well done and clearly a group of men and women a group of men and women as concerned as we are about a missing public figure. I love this! Alright, can you top the East Tech's volunteer fire department? Missing Rocket called J&R, if you found it. And if you do it, send it to Anna Megan or tweet it. That's one. That's one and counting. So get on it. 713-572-4610.

There's a rumor, just a rumor, unconfirmed that a local Golden Arches has also adopted the slogan. There's a rumor. Do we have audio from the thing we just did? Yes. Here, play that really quick. I think another default customer is a customer by the name of Boris White. Please come to the central services. Your partner is waiting. Josh and Richard. Josh and Richard. Richard. Richard.

That makes me think if your mom were to hear this, she'd be very disappointed in you. So now we have, Jim, I don't know if you can pull this off. It'll take some juggling. But can you put both of those in the five o'clock hour open? Yeah I can do that. Why not? I think it would be a great way to start the Wingstop Nickel Hour which of course also begins with the Homie Awards coming up in less than an hour at five o'clock. Oh man that's so great. So as good as it gets. Five o'clock we do actually don't have a five o'clock open today because we have the Homie Awards today. See this is why I'm here. But we'll work it in for later. We'll do both. a five o'clock open today because we have the homey awards today See this is why I'm here, but we'll work it in for later, but we have both well

We well five o'clock hour open then segue into the homey. That's very time-consuming Then we generally get into that segment late. Hey, it's it's J&R. That means it's our show. That's true So seven one three five seven two four six ten and if you do put a message on your marquee It has to say missing rocket called J&R if you found it a message on your marquee, it has to say, Missing Rocket, called J&R, if you found it, send Anna Megan or us the picture. Job is going to a gas station now to post more of the flyers that we've also posted a picture of on the website. I wish we could get the ninja's help on this.

Antonio Smith? Because he's very skilled and I should say well-schooled in the art of people who've disappeared. Well, usually because he's disappearing. Right. Well, he knows what it takes. If he knows how to disappear, I'll bet he knows how to find someone who has disappeared. Maybe so. So does John Walsh. You know who he is. That's called ninja logic, my friend. Call Joe back and make sure he hangs up one of those pictures, the missing pictures, at like a Walmart or something on that same wall where all the missing people are and takes a picture of it.

Get on that. All right. The Homie Awards at five o'clock and more to this Royce White story. Lamont just sent me the picture of the email conversation that Royce White had with his doctor that he tweeted that's been removed, but we've got the picture. It's JNR. Stay there.
