The Ray Stevens Show - Thursday, Januray 15th 2026

It's a wild weather Wednesday on The Ray Stevens Show, and Ray is not letting the cold weather cool off his standing bet with Nick Gale.

Father Dan Brandt, chaplain for the Chicago Police Department, joins Ray Stevens to talk about faith, service and how he got the invite to bless Soldier Field before the Wild Card win against Green Bay and the upcoming faceoff versus the L.A. Rams.

State Representative Nicole La Ha (R-Lemont) is inviting the community to help brighten the day of local veterans with her “Valentines for Veterans” card drive. Running now through February 13, the drive encourages residents of all ages to write heartfelt messages of appreciation for the men and women who’ve served our country.

And Ray details a massive giveaway coming this Friday for one lucky Bears fan.
