He also shares the story behind Island Tiki Tours, one of the most unique boating experiences in the area, complete with a bar, TV, captains on board, and customizable excursions for locals, visitors, and private groups.
Ryan and Brant also dive into College Football Playoff scenarios, conference championship predictions, and how chaos could shake up the rankings this weekend. From SEC to ACC to BYU–Texas Tech, it's a full breakdown of every game that could reshape the postseason picture.
Plus updates across middle school and high school sports, including basketball, soccer standings, big matchups, local athletes of the week, and upcoming schedules around Bay County.
