I can't begin to tell you why I listen to Russ Martin. He is a jerk! I love to hear him tell people exactly what he is thinking. We live in such a politically correct world that it is hard to talk as freely as he does. Everyone today does not want to step on anyone's toes because you are worried about how it will sound to others. This is why I listen, freedom of speech!

I listen to Russ religiously. I think that the reason is that Russ, J.D., Eddie, and Dan talk like my friends and I talk when we are hangin' out and drinkin' and just having fun. I feel like they are all close friends of mine.

I listen to The Russ Martin Show because it's like listening to a group of friends goof off every day! As a woman, I get a humorous yet seemingly realistic glimpse into the male perspective. OK ... really, they make me laugh!

The guys are like buddies you want to hang with. And we get to for at least four hours a day. They also back the Blue!

The reason I listen to the Russ Martin show is because he's about the most real white man I've ever seen. He holds nothing back for the purpose of others' feelings. He doesn't beat around the bush, and he has a mouth of filth. I believe that's what makes his show No. 1, and none of the other shows can even come close to comparison. So all I have to say is, I love to listen to Russ Martin, Dan Lewis, and J.D. Ryan. You guys ROCK, and this is coming from a black woman.

Russ Martin is a chauvinistic, degrading, mean-spirited, impolite, offensive, domineering, egotistical, self-centered, vile and intolerable man. Can you think of a better reason to listen?! It's hilarious!

It really is hard to explain why I listen to Russ. I am a 43-year-old single woman. And you know how he rags on women over 30. The first time I heard this show I hated it. And then about a year later, I started working in Addison ( I live in Bonham). I started listening again and have been listening ever since. I can't wait to get in my car after work and see what they are up to today. Sometimes I get irritated, but I think if you listen long enough, you begin to understand the reason behind the insanity. It is just that: insanity. I compare it to a soap opera. You have to tune in the next day to see what happens next. This show makes my 60-mile ride home much more enjoyable.

Want a 14.7 share in the ratings? Follow these simple rules: Hire someone local. Allow him to hire his buddies. Talk about "guy" stuff – drinking, women, and sex. Mix that with some porn stars, guns, explosives, and presto – you'll have a No. 1 show in your market. The one thing you won't have is Russ Martin, et al. He is one of a kind. Everyone in D-FW is very lucky to have him, J.D., Dan, and Eddie. That is why we listen.

Chris Fellmer

It's like eavesdropping on an all-boys, no-girls-allowed club – you don't want to miss a single word. He's also unpretentious and in touch with his listeners.

Dee Greve

I think most people listen to Mr. Martin for one of two reasons: First, he is a spokesman for the common man (he can get away with saying things that no one else can). Second, listening to his show is like seeing a wreck on the freeway – you just have to look!

David Denman

I think the show is so popular because It does not feel like radio "schlock." It feels like we are all friends and we are hanging out in Russ Martin's house, laughing and joking. That's why he has so many "idiots" calling. They forget we are not buddies. He must put an incredible amount of effort and research into the show to make it flow like normal conversation.

Jacky Donahue

Why do I listen to Russ? I guess because I never know what he is going to do, plus he makes me laugh so hard at times I have to pull over before I run over somebody. I listen to Russ' show every day for the entire four hours.

Michael Cole

The reason I like to listen to Russ is, it is like hanging out with your buddies talking about everyday stuff. Russ makes it fun and says things that we all think but don't always say.

Bill McGregor

I listen to Russ Martin for one simple reason: It is not planned. I get so sick of radio station jocks that have everything formulated and driven by a stopwatch.

Mitch Howard

I listen to Russ Martin because is very quick-witted and has the incredible ability to make any situation interesting and hilarious.
