Landry Locker hosts Sports Radio 610's Mid Day Show In The Loop. Landry also runs a Youtube show called The Locker Room. Landry is a cool dude. From what I've gathered over the years , he's from the Dallas Fort Worth area. He attended Texas Tech and he's a huge University of Texas fan.
I first heard of Landry when he was a producer for Mike Meltser and Seth Payne's morning show. He could have been here longer.
Currently, Landry and John Lopez hosts one of the most highly sports radio shows in Houston. Their show is hovering around 3 to 3.5 ratings mark which is not really that good in the 4th largest city and 6th largest media market. To put this in perspective, markets like Philadelphia and Chicago on the low end is 4 or mid 4's.
Landry is a cool dude. I believe he's in his late 30s. He has a tight grasp on Pop Culture and he knows Southern Hip Hop. I don't recall him acting like a pussy or anything, he's pretty straight up for the most part but I have noticed something about his style.
Hipster: a person who follows the latest trends and fashions in clothing and lifestyle, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream.
Contrarian: a person takes contrary opinions or attitude
I am not sure if Landry is a Hipster or Contrarian but he seems to go against all popular opinion. He reminds me of someone! I actually like this to a degree because I'm the same but he takes it to a different level. It appears, he goes out of his way to disagree with any and everything that's popular. He comes off like "too cool for school".
Something as simple as Houston Texans coach Demeco Ryans wanting to be surprised about his new baby's gender, most people were like, that's cool but not Landry. Landry disagreed with that but here's the kicker, I believe if Demeco wanted to know his kid's geneder, Landry would have likely disagreed with that too.
His style of radio is really easy, you can tell where he's going to land by just following Social Media; look at what everyone in unison agrees with. He will immediately come on-air and go against it.
In all honesty, he reminds me of Josh Innes but less polished. Josh was more authentic because he invited people to debate him. Landry says his shit and stay under the cover on the radio. That said, his Youtube show is a tad more open for more debate.
