The Richmond Weaver Show

The Richmond Weaver Show is sports radio from 104.9 Fox Sports Upstate, presented by Ingles, and its feed arrives in dated, hour-labeled pieces such as 'The Richmond Weaver Show 2026-4-9 Hour 2'. Richmond Weaver is the name on the marquee. Trey Falco, introduced as producer extraordinaire, works the board and talks on the mic beside him. The two keep things light. Falco's thin week in studio is chalked up to load management, a Friday turns into 'full force Friday with Falco,' and listeners are thanked as investors who put their time into the show. The sports range runs from national stages to the home crowd. On the NFL Draft, the pair describe a lineman-heavy class as vanilla but necessary, comparing fans to hungry shoppers who want a wide receiver in round one and get a sound, unglamorous pick instead. Golf gets its turn when the Masters plays on a studio screen. The takeaway is blunt: the Super Bowl, the Final Four and Augusta National do not need concerts or forced storylines, because the competition is the entertainment. A quick check of the Prime Video stream finds it looks just like the ESPN feed. College basketball brings the local stakes. With conference regular seasons wrapping up and bracketology taking shape, Weaver plans to be at Littlejohn Coliseum as Clemson plays Louisville, hoping the Tigers end a four-game losing streak. Fans are asked to speak a win into existence, with a teasing aside for South Carolina fans, and defeat is declared impossible with Weaver in attendance. Then comes the admission that the teams do not always follow the script. Then there are the detours, which may be the show's most distinctive trait. A plug for the iHeartRadio app turns into a discussion of software installs that hiccup on purpose, because a job finished too fast feels like something went wrong. Another conversation asks whether there is more pressure in proving people right or proving them wrong, with LeBron cast as someone who proved people right. Long-form interviews from a podcast called Rich Take on Sports, about why sports mattered in people's lives, come up as evidence that most of those people were driven by the chip of proving doubters wrong. A football conversation lands on tailgating, camaraderie and the feeling among fans of being family. One Friday hour signs off with an 'OTD' rundown of baseball history: Jackie Robinson's bunt for his first major league hit, and Mike Schmidt's four straight home runs as the Phillies rallied from 13-2 down to beat the Cubs 18-16 in 10 innings. A call-in number is read on air as well. The result is a friendly two-voice sports show with regional loyalties and a curiosity that wanders well past the box score.
