Summary

This episode of The Roula Show features a rapid-fire quiz competition with contestants competing for Disney World concert tickets, followed by a 'Spill the Tea' segment where callers discuss keeping romantic partners for attention and infidelity reasons. The show concludes with celebrity scoop about Timothée Chalamet's ballet and opera comments inadvertently boosting those industries, plus local Houston highlights including Fleet Week and Preservation Houston's legacy restaurant program.

Insights
  • Negative celebrity comments can paradoxically increase interest and revenue in the criticized industry, as seen with Royal Ballet and Opera gaining 2.5M Instagram engagements and immediate ticket sales boosts after Chalamet's remarks
  • Women often maintain romantic relationships primarily for emotional validation and verbal affirmation rather than genuine romantic connection, particularly during vulnerable life transitions like divorce
  • Generational preferences diverge significantly on digital vs. physical media ownership, with older demographics valuing tangible ownership while younger audiences prefer cloud-based streaming convenience
  • Transparency in casual dating arrangements can reduce relationship complications, as demonstrated by callers who explicitly communicated their intentions to romantic partners upfront
  • Ballet and opera training require comparable physical and mental dedication, though ballet may be more accessible to train broadly while opera singing represents a rarer natural talent
Trends
Accidental marketing: Controversial celebrity statements generating organic interest and revenue for criticized industriesEmotional validation economy: Growing recognition that verbal affirmation and attention are primary relationship drivers for some demographicsMedia ownership generational divide: Persistent preference among 30+ demographics for physical media ownership versus streaming-only consumptionTransparency in casual relationships: Increasing acceptance of explicitly non-committed relationship arrangements with clear boundary-settingCultural institution engagement: Legacy restaurants and performing arts venues leveraging heritage and longevity as competitive advantagesFleet Week tourism: Military vessel tours and crew engagement as community-building and tourism initiatives in coastal cities

We're gonna feel the tea. Feel the tea. Hey, Eric. Hey, Eric. What do we call that character, Kevin? You need to be on your team. Is it robot guy? You're gonna feel the tea. It's me. I'm gonna feel the tea. It sounds like a guy from like... It's a little nasally. Nick Kroll probably does that kind of character, right? Yeah. It was on that cartoon that we loved. What's it called? The Monsters, the home run. She was playing real slutty. Oh my God, what's it called? It's like a snarky character. Mr. Snarky. It's like Jesus on Netflix. It was a girl who was a real slutty. Big mouth. Big mouth. Yeah, big mouth. Do not let kids watch that. Absolutely not. That is absolutely not a cartoon. That's adult swim. Okay, 833-390. So far, Sam. No one wants to spill a tea. Nobody wants to spill a tea. We get a text. Oh, Sam, this is tea. And you know what it is? It's the pictures. No. Look at all the pictures we're getting. Different texts. Isn't that? No, it's different. Oh, silly. That's a totally different text. What are you doing? That's all pictures I came after. That is naughty. That doesn't make sense. Traffic shop Mike is sending us pictures of boats. They're not boats. They're ships. Whatever. They're flea week. That's the tea. All the hot guys and girls are coming here, but mostly guys. And there are going to be some pregnant ladies here delivering babies in January because they got lucky this week. But they don't know who's baby. Making the spill in the tea. Yeah, we'll circle back to that in 40 weeks. I'll be like, did you hook up with someone? At flea week. At flea week. And now you don't know who the daddy is. We will find it out for you. The photos we're getting though are pretty impressive. That is from Traffic Shop Mike. What's happening right now is gorgeous. What did you want to do? I wanted a woman to call me and tell me, have you ever kept a guy around just for attention? Because you have. Is that your thing? They all do. Yeah. Right. But will they call and actually admit that? No, because they don't think it's wrong. They don't like it. I'm not going to tell you. Let's break this down. You keep the man around because he genuinely is interested because he wouldn't be around if he wasn't. Exactly. But you're not interested. I mean, you could be. Right. You could be interested. You're only interested in the intention, not really the person giving it to you. Absolutely. I think that she before me, she dated a guy who was like a big bartender in the city for the attention that he got. I was like, Tom Cruise. Yeah. Then I worked in radio and then she's like, I want to date the guy who works on the radio rather than the guy that works at Domino. That's keeping her way up. Right. And so she just wants to do that. She dated a clown as a circus and was even bigger than ever. There's a word for girls like that in radio who like to date the guy just because he has got the call letters on his shirt. Oh. Warned. Warned. But for attention. That's adult swimwear. But for attention, yeah. Maybe the guy is obsessed with you and you're like, yes, I like this attention and then you don't really like it. I mean, there's a lot of tea. A long time ago, there's a girl that I knew that she wanted that attention. She wanted the radio attention from you. No, just like, you're beautiful. Okay. A lot of adoration. Got it. I gave that to her and then she was very grateful for that. How long did that last? About three minutes. Three minutes. Thanks for the sx here. Really nice. Thank you. 833 is a 3. I'll take it. We're going to the phones. Oh my gosh. We're going to the phones. This bill of the tea here. We got Kate on. Hi, Kate. Good morning. Good morning. Hi there. So which question are you answering? The attention one or the other one? The attention one. The attention one. Okay. So tell us your story. I have not. I have not. I have not. I have not. I have not. I have not. I have not. I have not. I have not. I have not cheated before. Because I've been cheated on. So that's one thing that's like a no for me. But I have. I have kept a guy around for myself to see boost because it's hard whenever you keep trying to like date and date and date and I've been married and I'm going through a divorce for like I've been married 14 years, going through a divorce and trying to date against sucks. Yeah. So, you know, trying to find someone that actually wants to give that attention to you is hard. Sometimes you just want to have attention to make yourself feel a little bit better. Can you give an example? What kind of attention are you looking for? Do you want him to like flirt with you? Just say you're beautiful. Do you want him to try and make a move on you? What kind of attention are we looking at? It's a lot of like the verbal, like verbal praise because that's your relationship. I, yes, I didn't get a lot of that in my lap, like with my ex and that was what was lacking. And so like I like being like, it's like, it's nice to be with you. It's like, it's nice to be told, hey, you look beautiful today or, hey, I really like that on you. You should, you know, you should continue to wear your hair like that or something. It's just nice to hear those things. It's validating and it helps make you feel better throughout the day and it helps like push you through whatever like emotional thing you're going through. Like feeling pretty is, you know, that sounds vain or whatnot, but I know a lot of women go through and they just don't want to say it and I didn't want Sam to have no one call. No one calls. No one calls. I appreciate that. And thank you for spilling the tea. Let me ask one quick question for you. Yeah, you keep the guy around because you want to have something to do and have someone to call and be in a relationship or do you actually really like the guy? There's a big difference. I mean, I like the guy too, but like, and I give things back. No, you just want to do something on a Friday night and he's available. Does that mean like you'll sleep with them or is it just like you just, what does give back mean? No, we like, we haven't slept together. Like, like it's more like you just like to hear the things and like, I'm pretty honest with the guys I talked to you on like, Hey, this is what I want. This is what I don't want. So it's not like I'm leading them on. So they're getting what they want out of it as well, but I have just kept like guys around on like, Hey, this is what I'm looking for right now. And I'm not looking for anything more. So if you're willing to fit that mold, then cool. And if not, then you know, then let's talk to other people. But you know, the guy's going to lie and say, Yeah, I'm all for that. And thinking, Oh yeah, I'm going to wear her down one night. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Well, maybe not. Okay. Well, thank you. Thank you. Thanks. You know, transparency. See now the phones are filled up. So we're going to have time for all the calls, but we're going to go to Pam for the second question because your second question was what Sam? Yeah, I was wondering, what's the reason you've cheated and you're going to actually admit out loud why you cheated on the person from Sam to Pam. Hi, Pam. Good morning. Hi. Hi. Hey, Pam. Spill the tea, Pam. So I've done both, but we're going to talk about the cheating. Yep. I mean, it was, it was basic because I wasn't getting what I needed in the boot wall. Okay. So I was with an older person and I got a younger person to help me out with that. Where did you find this younger person, Pam? I mean, do you, Pam? Where did you find this person? He was working at Walmart, girl. Oh my gosh. Did you ever go back or was this just like a hi and done? Oh, no, this is a side. No, no, no. He was on, he was on call. Okay. Walmart represents. Are you talking like you were in a marriage or you were just like a long term committed relationship and you found the side piece of Walmart? It was a long term committed relationship. What aisle is that on Walmart? You can find the side piece on Walmart. He was in customer service. So hey, customer service. Oh, yeah. And I would love to know the breakdown of that visit. So you're in customer service. I return this fan that's broken. Wow. And then it just happens that hot pants is the guy behind the counter with the blue vest. And how did that interaction go where you all connected afterwards? He told her she didn't need a receipt. He was, he was about, he's about 15 years younger than me. Uh huh. And he just needed, I was cooking. I was buying food or something. And he was like, Oh, can I get a plate? And there you go. He got a plate. Wow. You're the one that served on it. That is your next move right there. That is, you're going to come back and then we're going to. There we go. Absolutely. What made him up? Do you think he was a better lover or do you think it was because just something different and you felt this guy paid more attention to you? He was definitely coming on. He was 25 and I was not 25. Yeah. Yeah. The good old days 25. How long did that relationship of the side piece relationship? How long did that last? Three minutes. How long? Three years. Three years. Three years. No. Two years. Two years. Wow. What broke it up? Did you just decide, okay, I'm over it now. Like the shininess has worn off or y'all broke up. He wanted a relationship and I just know, no. Did your main person ever find out about this affair? He did after we got married. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Spill the tea. Spill the tea. How did he find out after y'all got married and what was his reaction? Um, okay. Well, he found out because I ran into the guy at a store many, many years later and again, he still wanted to be more and no, no, I can't do that. Oh my God. Like get away from me. Wait, he did that in front of your husband? Yeah. He started calling me and then my husband started asking questions and yeah, I told him, I mean, we weren't married and so yeah. Yeah, but you were. The child were married. The real question is where does he work now? Target? Yeah, we did it. He got from Walmart to Target. Yeah, where's he at now? Wait, wait, wait, this is better.

How many people today are going to go to Walmart and just look around and just think, like, because that person, we don't love them. When is going for sure? They ask for a plate. You know what that means. Yeah. My next adventure is here. Okay. Coming up next in Scoop, there are certain celebrities that will say something that gets them canceled. But the weird effect of this is the thing that got them canceled ended up making a lot of money. So I will explain the breakdown of the cancellation next in Scoop on KRBE. Celebrity Scoop. I'm a ruler show with Eric. 104.1 KRBE. It is brought to you by Taqueria Randa. And I want to remind you, it's a big entertainment day today. Since it's tax day April the 15th, I say it's a big entertainment day because the biggest grossing film of all time until Avatar and then Avengers Endgame took over was Titanic. And today was the sinking of the Titanic. Oh, yeah. It went to the bottom of the show. That was on last night. Was it on last night? Cinemax or something. It struck the iceberg on the night of the 14th. And by the time it actually went under the water, it was already a passing night. It took a man out. On the 15th. Thinking of how they, she threw her life away for some guy. Jack Dawson. Yeah, Jack Dawson. And then she hid that, she had that whole diamond her whole life. Get it from their family that could have used that money. The heart of the ocean. Just like this. The heart of the ocean. She's actually a bad person. There's room for Jack by the way. Girl, kids can make mistakes. She was only 16. I just think she's a bad person. That movie has grossed now $2.2 billion worldwide. She was only 16? She was only 16 in that movie. And then she showed her boobs, but this girl was definitely not a good girl. That was the people who get married in 1912 and 13. You're married 16, 17 year old. You're life expectancy was 50 for 41. It's like, wow, you're old. I mean, unseemble, Bali Brown to them that she was like the Crack Keeper. Because the age, anyway, I'm just making jokes. But okay, yes, Titanic sunk today. And I was looking up the stuff about Titanic because Jim Cameron, who took five years to get that released with all the cameras he had to create to go deep dive in the sea with the submersibles. He made a 1.8 billion in the initial run. Then they've re-released it many times back in the theater. So the total is 2.2 billion. And then the only reason his record was beaten was because it's another movie avatar made even more money than that. And then finally Avengers Endgame is the one that actually took over for the highest grossing film of all time so far. Okay, now Timothy Shalameh. When he was talking to Matthew McConaughey in his town hall months before the Academy Awards, he was talking about getting people back into movie theaters and in an offhand comment about how you're trying to save a dying art form like, you know, Bel Air Opera, nobody cares about. Okay, that went crazy. And everyone was like, oh, and a lot of people are saying his work for his Academy Award went completely ignored because people were mad about his ballet and opera comment. But really in a twist, in a twist. A lot of people are saying that are in the industry of ballet and opera. The head of London's Royal Ballet and Opera, as a matter of fact, Alex Beard said after Timothy Shalameh said what he said, the Royal Ballet issued a very measured response asking him to take a look at what we're doing. He also noted that the largest part of their audience now is 20 to 30 year olds. See, look at it, he helped him out. They said that he has actually helped get interest back into opera and ballet and they are reaping the monetary rewards. He said they got 2.5 million engagements and half a million shares on Instagram alone just for that opera house. And his quote is, our ticket sales got an immediate boost. So cheers, Timmy. Which is more impressive to you guys, people that could do ballet or people that could do opera. Opera. I don't know, they're both. To do that on your toes too? Yeah, the ballet, I mean. The ballet to do those dance moves. Yeah, to be able to carry a tune? Yeah, that's a whole different. When they do it, they hold their breath. Yeah, the physicality of both of those, I don't think you can compare them because to be able to sing like that and the exercise is that your lungs have to do that. If you had to watch one, we have a door A and door B, one's opera, one's ballet, which door are you going into? Opera. I might go to ballet because there's more people doing it as a group. So I want to see how they're, I don't know, because the opera thing, I respect both of them. However, the ballet thing, that really is grueling work. I don't know. Somebody can tell me if they're in the opera world. Are the hours that you're putting into training your lungs and your diaphragm and your vocal cords to do that, is that equal to what a ballet dancer has to do? They do lots of rehearsals. My sister-in-law teaches a lot of the people of the opera, English. Okay. Like how do they come here from different countries? Yes. And they get to hear in a contract for two or three years and they can sing the stuff obviously because most operas are not. They're in Italian. Yeah. But they want to learn English, so she teaches them. So they have certain schedules. They go in there. They do like an hour with her. Then they go to practice with their singing coach. So it's like, it did sound like they just, you know, just go in for the show. And they have to perform in practice. And what was the girl from America's Got Talent, Jackie? Oh, God. I'm having somebody text me, 37530, that little girl with blonde hair, Jackie. Oh, I can't remember her last name. I can't see her face. But when she, I think she won America's Got Talent. And they're saying that for such a young age for her to be able to sing like that, she would not be able to sustain it. But she has made some good money as she's grown into an adult. But to sing like that is so rare. You have more people that can be trained to be ballerinas and ballet dancers versus Jackie. Avoncho. Avoncho. Yes. Jackie Avoncho. How she grew up? Yeah, of course. I mean, she was like what, 10, 9 when she was doing that? That's the last time I just, in my head, I just, I think of like the Nutcracker, the Houston Ballet, the Nutcracker. Hundreds of people are on that stage. Right. At an opera. There's one. One or two? Yeah. So I think you can train more people to become ballerinas versus train more people to become opera singers. Maybe I'm wrong. No, I think you're right because more people have the talent to be able to try to do something like ballet. But singing? I don't know, look, there's American Idol and there's the voice, there's so many singing shows. Right, but that's a specific kind of singing. You don't see many ballet shows. That's a specific kind of sing. But they could sing. But there's more, but more people try out first so you think you can dance than they do the American Idol's or the voice or something like that. You think so? Yeah, absolutely. Like, going out there and dancing? Being able to hold the tune is completely different than being able to try to do a pair of wingspin. We can all try to spin. Yeah, we can all try to dance. We all can't sing. You can't. That's a gift. And you can wear that outfit where you're pretty much naked. That's why I want to do it. No way. That's probably why you'd go watch it. It's time for What's Going Down. How's that going to be? How's that going to be? Everybody. I'm a ruler show with Eric. 104.1, K.R.B.E. There's a movie. I'm sure you watched Ruler Called Top Secret. Oh, yes. I just saw one of the movie. I was in the scene where he was in the ballet. And they had a, like, in his crotch. And it was like a balloon in there. Extra bulge. He kept getting bigger and bigger like a balloon. Bell Kilmer in Top Secret, y'all. That was the first time I saw Bell. I was like, what are these guys doing in those outfits? What's happening? It is brought to you by Easy Fiber. Two things. Fleet Week has officially started. And there is going to be a lot of activity in the Houston Ship Channel. And in Galveston, we're getting beautiful pictures from one of our listeners, Mike, who lives in Galveston. As the ships come in, there's a lot of activity. So you might want to look up to see what can you do. Which ships you can tour. There are over 1,000 crew members that are in our city for the next seven days from the 15th to 22nd. Getting to know our city and letting us see what it is they do. Alameda, Kev, Ladi, myself. We should go down there dressed as the village people. And then we get up next to one of them. No, we're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing anything disrespectful to our... We're not doing any of that. We're not doing any of that. People seem to deal with us the way we see it. ABC 13 has broken down. I was wrong with you. Can you turn on my golf for a second? Because I think Eric is having inside thoughts on the mic. It was funny to see Kevin being there. ABC 13 has broken down a really good schedule for you. If you want to see what can you see, where can you see it, how can you see it. The other thing I want to put a little quick spotlight on is preservationhuston.org. This is a fantastic society. It likes to preserve things in our community. And yesterday I was invited to savoring history. It is Houston's restaurants being honored as a living history. And it's a preservation program that treated longstanding family owned restaurants as the cultural landmarks that they are. Because think of how those restaurants have withstood the sets of time. And they have fed your family and your friends and your celebrations and they're a part of your fabric, which was great. So thank you so much. They honored my family's restaurant, Kristi Seafood and Steaks. They offered our friend Carol and Richard's restaurant, China Garden. A Zicky Gruber for Kenny and Ziggy's. Zicky Gruber? Zicky Gruber. Zicky Gruber. Oh, sorry. That's his name. Zicky and then Nico Nico's, El Patio, Hobbit Cafe, House of Pies, Kirins, Mandola's Deli, Pizzatola's. There's a whole list of the inaugural legacy restaurant class. I've never been to that. Right. I mean all these new places you can try. And the great thing about this list, if you go to preservationhuston.org and you look at this list, it's a nice list if you've never been to some of these restaurants or you haven't been in a long time, to go visit them because these are the ones that lasted the test of time. To be in this class, you have to be at least 20 years old. And you have been through a lot in the restaurant industry and many of them are over 40, 50 and 60 years old. And as you know, my family's restaurant is 109. So there's a lot of Houston history there. And thank you so much, Preservation Houston, for a beautiful afternoon yesterday. I haven't been to any one of those restaurants. Look at you, Ladi. There you go. Feed you. I'm going to go to a restaurant. The last thing you want to do is go out. No, I just moved back here to Texas. So I'm super excited to go out. I mean, give you one of these. I mean, give you this list. You can try and hit all those. Champburger, Cream Burger. Let's see. What else on here? Marietta restaurant. Raven Grill, Rudd Yards, British Pub. There's a bunch. There's a bunch. Is Arby's on there? No, that's not the thing. There you go. There you go. That's a bunch of it. That's a bunch of it. It works in radio. Coming up next, we're going to do round table. But I have one. Up on this list. 30 when you say this role like okay okay boomer type feel to it. Think of something you say is Sam you're what 34. Yeah. Like this one. I want to own a physical copy of my music, my games, my movies. I don't want to get streaming like I hate my Xbox now because you gotta download the games. I like to own the actual games. If you want to actually physically hold it, you're over 30. Yeah. Because people in their 30 don't think that at all. It takes up too much space. We don't have space. Yeah. You don't want that. You want it all in the cloud. All right. Let's go over this next on The Rula Show there. I can care of you. This is in your average podcast. This pot is about to be crazy. I don't even know what's going to happen. This is full send. It's just like a boy scrap. Join the party. We threw like a spontaneous party out of nowhere. It was crazy and we pulled off a crazy prank. Pranks, parties and viral culture at its wildest. Just seeing like the guys that you brought in and like seeing their different personalities and stuff. It's been entertaining, dude. This could be the greatest content build of all time. The full send podcast. Dude, let's get ready to rumble. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Let's do it.
