[Alex]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

10 chance of rain today, 10 chance of rain tomorrow. 20 chance of rain on Sunday. I'll take it. 90s, you knew that. Mid 90s all weekend. And Mo right now with Houston's Headlines. What you got?

[Mo]

Hey, we knew that weather was going to be this week weekend because we are fully prepared for it. We've been dealing with it all week. Rod. Slightly above average temperatures will continue. Highs in the 90s. That Saharan dust is lingering. But that dry dusty air should make it harder for organized tropical systems, which we love to hear. Low rain chances for the weekend, I heard you say. But we are keeping one eye on the weather for next weekend. We know the holiday weekend we are seeing some rain potential. So we'll watch that continue. Let's enjoy this weekend first.

[Alex]

All right.

[Mo]

The president of Venezuela's national assembly says the country has been rocked by more than 135 aftershocks that followed the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes. The search and rescue operations are working around the clock across the impacted areas. More than 200 people reportedly still trapped. But locally we are coming together to find ways to help the victims and the survivors. I've seen tons of donation collections going on and they're looking for first aid kits, the non perishable foods, hygiene items, blankets, anything that can help with the rescue missions. One specifically I saw called Metabox Cargo. They are a Venezuelan owned shipping company and they're offering their services as a hub. If you want the list of items that they're collecting and their locations, we're going to post them up on the website. We're officially halfway into the 2026 World cup games and a study ranked this year's 11 venues from Best to worst for fans.

[Rod Ryan]

Didn't look good for Houston on this list.

[Mo]

It didn't. It looked at seven metrics. Beer and water prices were one of them. Hotel rates, temperatures, crime, even mosquitoes. Rod. And that might have been what kicked our butt.

[Rod Ryan]

We were. We weren't last.

[Jim]

We weren't last.

[Mo]

NRG stadium, formerly nrg, whatever you want to call it here in Houston. It ranked number two or number 10 of 11. Number 10.

[Rod Ryan]

What was the worst stadium?

[Mo]

SoFi Stadium. So basically LA, it's in Inglewood.

[Alex]

We played two of the US game.

[Rod Ryan]

That's the nicest stadium on the list probably too.

[Mo]

At least newest, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

For fans.

[Rod Ryan]

It really is.

[Alex]

Fans really care to the damn celebrities.

[Mo]

I don't want Brad Pitt higher prices Might have been what kicked their butt.

[Rod Ryan]

I haven't been there, but that stadium, I. I just said it yesterday. It looks spectacular.

[Mo]

Even going to say out loud what number one is on this list.

[Rod Ryan]

What is number one?

[Mo]

It's in Massachusetts.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, you're kidding me. In the middle of nowhere.

[Mo]

Gillette Stadium. Okay, we're getting closer to the wedding of the year. More details continue to emerge. It's looking like Taylor and Travis's wedding is going to be a multi day event. I know you're shocked, Rod. I know you're shocked. It's now being reported that about 100 people are going to gather at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Thursday, July 2nd, the day before the big party, big attendance.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, 100 people in all of Madison Square Garden.

[Mo]

What do you think that's going to be?

[Alex]

They can play basketball.

[Mo]

They're going for a little scrimmage.

[Rod Ryan]

The rehearsal dinner.

[Mo]

Usually it's the rehearsal dinner.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Swifties are speculating. That's going to be the actual wedding, then the party. The actual party will be the next step.

[Alex]

Madison still.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, I'm done.

[Mo]

We'll see what happens. You're not done. Because you're going to have to hear about this all week, I'm afraid.

[Alex]

I can't wait.

[Mo]

Shinedown also in the headlines today because they earned their first ever Billboard country ranking. Their song searchlight debuted at number 54 on the country charts. And Billboards, like, yeah, they've spent 25 years at top of the rock charts. It's nice that country radio is embracing them. They had almost a million audience impressions on this song in a single week.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm gonna say it. Shine down is a rock and roll hall of fame band with the. With the chart. They've broken every rock chart record there is.

[Mo]

Most number one songs. Yeah, all of them.

[Rod Ryan]

They're the last active rock band to be on, like, the Billboard Hot 100. They're the last band to be on that. It was years ago, but still, they're a rock and roll hall of fame band.

[Mo]

What do you think it is about this song?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. I mean, I. Kids don't care what you classify music as anymore. I say kids, younger people, they don't care. Like, they like what they like. And if country music does well with something like this, that little sweeping little thing in the background there, if that calls it, if that's country, then great,

[Mo]

you know, hey, those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. So you were out last night.

[Alex]

I was, yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

You were hoping for a win. We were all Hoping for a win.

[Alex]

Kind of sucked. Yeah, we lost the Turkey 32 in our final group stage game. Turkey scored a late game winner in the 98th minute of 98 minute game to give the U.S. their first loss of this World Cup. We did rest nine of our starters, though, so I get it. We wanted to win there. But maybe this is like when we wake up from this, we don't want to have this feeling again. Now we go. We don't want to give Bosnia anything, like anything on tape to prep for. We do play Bosnia in the knockout stage, the round of 32 on Wednesday night. We'll be in San Francisco for that one, so that'll be our opponent. And I think we could set up with a match against Egypt possibly in the round of 16, which would be awesome for us in baseball. The Astros got a win last night. They got by the Tigers 2 to 1. Tatsui IME struck out 10 while giving up no runs over 6 solid innings of work. Astros are gonna play the Tigers again tonight. Spencer Arighetti will be on the mound for the Strozz, going up against Detroit's Kiter Montera. First pitches at 5:40 and you can listen to the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. The first phone call is going to be our first beer winner. Strap yourselves in, kids. We got a busy one for you today. The most interactive show on the radio starts right now.

I thought Teresa was out premiere screening.

[Alex]

So yeah, that movie, I'll probably watch it when it comes out. But I think that that's like the universe equalizer. Like if you put a man, if you put you and a guy from the Taliban in the same room and

Enjoy responsibly.

[Rod Ryan]

The Rob ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz.

And then we're gonna turn those, well, at least one of them from yesterday into some Motley Crew tickets. But, boy, big happenings already. The Fresh out of Bed, Head to Head challenge. Here's your current champion. We're rolling.

[Jim]

This is Traffic Copter Gym. You're fresh out of bed, Head to Head tournament champions. Member number 12. This will be my third time in a hall. My first time in a few years. Join me at the end of the year as I look to get my first postseason victory. And just maybe take it all, bitches.

[Rod Ryan]

Great game today. Great job. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. I got some new fun facts for you guys. Captain Cash, casually dressed. No meetings today. Well, we always know when you have a meeting. A couple of zooms.

[Mo]

Yeah. Casual Friday meetings.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, yeah, because we always know when you don't have meetings. Because, like, Travicopter Gym, no pants.

[Mo]

What? Here we are.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, Here we go. Americans are drinking less orange juice now than any other time in the past 20 years.

[Jim]

Nope,

[Rod Ryan]

but we still drink more than any other country in the world.

[Mo]

I want to know why.

[Alex]

Yeah, me, too.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, I was gonna ask you guys, are you drink I think people are conscious of the sugar content. I think we now know that. I think we just now know that there's a ton of sugar in.

[Jim]

In.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Juice in general. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Your kids drinking it?

[Alex]

No, not yet.

[Jim]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

I remember my dad drinking orange juice when my parents were together, like it wasn't breakfast time. And I think it used to be a slogan, but my mom's yelling at my dad drinking orange juice, and he goes, it's not just for breakfast anymore. Was that a saying? I think that when they were trying to push orange juice to drink it

[Alex]

all the time, maybe they did a screwdriver. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

My dad's like, it's not just for breakfast anymore.

[Alex]

You can put it in.

[Jim]

Boo.

[Mo]

That was a cereal slogan.

[Rod Ryan]

Put it in the fridge, Patrick.

[Jim]

Now.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not for you. Gestapo. When you lose weight, you breathe out the fat as carbon dioxide. That is fun.

[Jim]

You're a heavy breather.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, I noticed. Like, when I was doing.

[Jim]

Are you losing weight over there?

[Rod Ryan]

I'm trying, but I'll tell you what. I don't know if these two things are related. I know we have smart people that listen to this show. I was doing, like, maybe like, an Atkins type thing years ago. And you go into ketosis. You know what that is? Like, you're fat burning.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And you have bad breath. Yes. So I wonder if that's it. It's weird. The ketosis. Ketosis. You're burning.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. My breath. Now I'm worried about my breath.

[Mo]

I'm researching.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not. I'm not in any kind of ketosis right now. Trust me. I'm fat making. Oh, my word. Americans. And probably, I'm sure me pronounce Adidas wrong. Adidas.

[Alex]

Adidas.

[Mo]

Adidas.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, I put a slight emphasis on the first syllable. Adidas. Or it's supposed to be Adidas, not Adidas.

[Jim]

The.

[Rod Ryan]

The emphasis supposedly. On what? The emphatic.

[Jim]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

The emphasis should be on the first syllable.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

The syllable Adidas, not Adidas. I had a friend that watched.

[Mo]

Thanks for that clarification.

[Rod Ryan]

The singer. The singer of my band watched tv. He didn't watch tv. He watched tv.

[Alex]

Tv.

[Mo]

That feels uncomfortable.

[Rod Ryan]

And a few people in New Orleans are standing underneath umbrellas when it rains. Not umbrellas. So it's where you. Okay, that's neat. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Adidas. I say Adidas. It's Adidas. You're speaking over roadblocks A D A. All right. What do you give it away?

[Mo]

Motley Crue is going to be here September 11th in the Woodlands. It's their return of the Carnival of Sins tour with Tesla and Extreme. And if you know this flashback, we got a pair of tickets for you.

[Rod Ryan]

No way that Adidas is going to be a flashback on Monday. I'm just telling you right now.

[Alex]

Just.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm ruling that one out, okay?

[Mo]

Never again.

[Rod Ryan]

Or am I? It's your fun back flashback. Now yesterday we had some bangers in there and this guy, a writer. Funny guy too. He came up with a pen name because he was caught drinking in college and he got banned from the extracurricular activities of which he wanted to keep writing for the humor magazine.

Hi.

[Alex]

Who's this?

[Jim]

This is Lane.

[Rod Ryan]

Lane, welcome in.

[Alex]

Dude.

[Rod Ryan]

Fun fact flashback. This guy?

[Jim]

Yes, sir.

[Rod Ryan]

This guy had to come up with a pen name because he was caught drinking in college and he was banned from all the extracurricular activities. Well, he's a big time writer. He wanted to keep writing for the humor magazine, so he had to come up with another name. Who am I talking about?

[Jim]

You're talking about Mr. Dr. Seuss, sir.

[Jim]

Man, you guys rock. Thank you so much.

[Rod Ryan]

You're awesome, Lane. Thank you. I'm so glad we connected today. Have a great weekend, dude. All right, well, we do the fun fact flashback every day. Still wondering if we're gonna use that Adidas one.

[Mo]

Please don't.

[Rod Ryan]

Maybe. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. Maybe you should just give me Houston's headlines and just stay in your lane.

[Mo]

Maybe I will. Walking into the weekend fully prepared for this. We. We've had it all week. Slightly above average temperatures, highs in the 90s, heat index values above 100. And that Saharan dust, it is burning off, but it is lingering that dry, dusty air, making it harder for any organized tropical system, which we love to hear. Low rain chances through the weekend. But if we are watching that rain move in for mid next week, broad. I promised to warn you. People across the country are hoping to win nearly half a million dollars today night.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, okay.

[Mo]

Wait.

[Rod Ryan]

No, no, no, no.

[Jim]

Half a.

[Mo]

Half a billion dollars? Should I say million?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, billion.

[Mo]

It's the mega Millions jackpot. Nearly half a billion dollars tonight. So Tuesday's drawing was 467 million. Alex, just spit. Sorry, Alex. The grand prize rolls over to tonight's drawing.

[Rod Ryan]

Drawing.

[Mo]

I can't say it.

[Rod Ryan]

You don't gotta. I mean, you really sound like you're. You're in pain.

[Alex]

Say it.

[Mo]

It's a lot of money. Go. You have to go to. Okay, okay, okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I have to go to. I do need gas.

[Mo]

Okay, perfect.

[Rod Ryan]

So it's half a bill.

[Mo]

Yes, Half a bill. Half a billion dollars tonight.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, what else?

[Mo]

Okay, the question. Should bars limit alcoholic drinks to one every 30 minutes?

[Alex]

That's Jessing the bar to do too much stuff, man.

[Mo]

A lot. Cambridge.

[Rod Ryan]

Is this a proposed thing?

[Mo]

Cambridge, Massachusetts, considering several changes to their liquor licenses, according to business owners. One of them is limited to limiting patrons to one drink every 30 minutes.

[Rod Ryan]

This is how it starts.

[Mo]

Sounds like a mess. One bar owner who hates the idea. She was questioning logistics, and she's like, what, are we gonna put an egg timer on everyone's table? And they were like, actually, that sounds like a great idea.

[Rod Ryan]

What did I mention? Yesterday on the show, cops used to chalk tires.

[Mo]

Oh, yes.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Up in the Woodlands. I mentioned that on the air because the bar that I was. The bar that I saw that at is no longer there. It was on your way up to the Woodlands Pavilion on the right hand side.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

It was like where those little fountains were over there. Two people emailed me and said that's still a common practice to this day. Cops will put a piece of a chalk line to signify how long a car has been at a bar. One drink every 30 minutes. Minutes.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Logistical nightmare.

[Rod Ryan]

It's bad for everybody. It's bad for the servers. It's bad for the bar.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Although, listen, big groups. As a former bar owner.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

The tabc, they. They don't want you to succeed. They're not doing you any favors as an owner. Like, you talk about this con. This country's built on small business owners. Not if it involves alcohol. In Texas, they. I'm telling you, they are so strong, strict. They set you up for failure.

[Alex]

I just don't understand how you're gonna monitor every single person.

[Mo]

Right. And you're, like, leaving bars and going to other bars.

[Alex]

Like, what?

[Rod Ryan]

The TABC is listening right now going, oh, they're trying that in Boston. Let's do that here.

[Alex]

Give it a go.

[Mo]

One of our other proposals in this whole thing is limiting the shots and bottle sales within one hour of closing. Kind of like they do it like baseball games. They do like a cutoff.

[Rod Ryan]

We're trying to get young people to go out and drink and make bad decisions, and this is not helping. This is not helping at all.

[Mo]

Let's talk about Clive Davis. We know he's died, and it was sad, and we were like, wow, everyone loved this guy. He's gonna be laid to rest Monday in New York City. And his funeral lineup better than Coachella.

[Rod Ryan]

What do you mean?

[Mo]

Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys. I see Barry Manilow on this list. Kenny G, Jennifer Hudson. More names expected to be announced. No word on any of these. These artists are performing per se, but they're all, quote, unquote, participating, so maybe they're speaking. I don't know. Also haven't seen if it's going to be broadcast in any way, but know that that's coming up on Monday.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

All right. I didn't know this name until you showed it to me this morning. Rod. Melissa off.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Okay. Bass player, one of VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll. And she is ready to share with everyone a little behind the scenes of her her wild life and what a life she has lived. She toured with Holes, Smashing Pumpkins, and while she was touring and doing all this cool stuff, she was documenting life backstage, some on stage stuff in the crowd because she was carrying her camera around. Well, she's now releasing a new book, My 90s Rock Photographs, and it seems like it's gonna be pretty cool. She's lived an awesome life.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, she's seen a lot of things and apparently like long before like going viral and all, she just took pictures and she just documented everything and she has it all.

[Mo]

Tens of thousands.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

[Mo]

It's cool. But those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Take it, Alex.

[Alex]

Team USA lost to Turkey 3 to 2 last night in their final group stage game. Turkey scored a late game winner in the 98th minute to give the US their first loss of this World Cup. Even though they did rest nine of their starters, they're still gonna play Bosnia in the round 30 to the knockout stage on Wednesday night in San Francisco. In baseball, the Astros got a win last night. They got by the Tigers 2 to 1. Tatsuya Ime struck out 10 while giving up no runs in 6 solid innings of work. Astros are going to play the Tigers again tonight. Spencer Araghetti will be on the mound for the Stroz, going up against Detroit's Kiter Montero. First pitches at 5:40 and you can listen to that game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.

I really appreciate it, Ryan. Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

I appreciate you. Hang on the phone for me. Good morning, everybody. I got Blue October tickets for you later on in about 15 minutes. You guys want to jump around today?

[Jim]

You do? Okay. I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, sometimes I just check in with you guys.

[Mo]

It's good to know.

[Rod Ryan]

Gotta take your temperature, see if you guys still want to jump around. I just got an email. I'm sure I've gotten others, but I really haven't noticed. Today is the last day for Amazon Prime Day. Is. Is it me? Because I don't want to just say, oh, well, this is how I feel. This is how. How everybody must feel. Has this been the quietest Amazon Prime Day ever? Or is it active? Is it as big as ever? Are you getting all the stuff and the deals and everything? I personally haven't talked about it much on the radio because I'm not getting bombarded like I have in the past. What has changed or is it just me?

[Mo]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, that's why I brought you here. That's why I brought you here.

[Mo]

I mean, I'm being bombarded. I get like a text message every hour from Amazon.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think. I was never at that level, but no, I don't think. I think very few people are at the level that you are on Amazon.

[Mo]

I was the very first person in the city of Houston to use Amazon prime for delivery. They came to my house with a check, like a gift card and balloons.

[Rod Ryan]

How are you insider like that?

[Mo]

I don't know,

[Jim]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

You just got picked. Like you were the first person to ever use Amazon prime delivery.

[Mo]

Other cities were using it. So I was like, it was on my radar.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

So I just happened to know that that was the day that Houston was getting it. So I used it really fast.

[Rod Ryan]

We said today that orange juice is on the decline. You asked me why, and I said, I don't know why, but. But in the last 20 years, is drinking orange juice in America. The. The orange juice sales, it's just real easy to see that orange juice sales have gone down. We still drink more orange juice than anyone else in the world. I don't know. You asked me, like, why. Why do you. I think that is. And I said, I don't know. I, I think we just realized that there's a ton of sugar in it. I don't know.

[Mo]

And I think we're all for special events.

[Rod Ryan]

We're a little bit more conscious of our sugar intake now.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Maybe that's it. I don't know. But Amazon Prime. Is there a re. Is it just me? Do you feel it's as big as it's ever been?

[Mo]

I don't know if I'm seeing as many television commercials, but other than that, I am hearing about it.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

There was TV spots.

[Mo]

There were.

[Rod Ryan]

And I, I haven't seen one TV spot for it.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And I just got, hey, today's the last day. I'm like, today's last day. I don't know that I knew. I, I did because we mentioned it, I think, once, but it hasn't been something that I have been checking in on. I remember when it started. I remember. I remember the high prime day seven months long now.

[Mo]

They do more than one.

[Rod Ryan]

They do more than one. Yeah.

[Mo]

And everyone's doing it. So, like, Target also is doing one this week. Walmart has extra sales this week. Like other businesses are latching on to the prime day sales in hopes that you'll shop with them.

[Rod Ryan]

Epic door buster. There is 40% off or more crime day. And then it's a toothbrush.

[Mo]

You know, it's like, I bought a toothbrush. It should be here today.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't need a 40 pack of pickleballs.

[Mo]

You should not buy things that you don't need.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Who was talking to us about that little ring that keeps track of all your data? Who was talking to us about it on the radio?

[Alex]

Did it.

[Rod Ryan]

Was it a listener?

[Mo]

I don't know. We've definitely had other people in our, our office come in to ask us about it.

[Rod Ryan]

Is that what it is?

[Mo]

Yeah, that.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what it was.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Somebody asked us about it. So they.

[Mo]

There's a new generation out. So the older generations are now on prime day sale.

[Rod Ryan]

It's $260.

[Mo]

The older generation. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, that's a. That's a. Oh, so that's not the newest one.

[Mo]

They have like a new thin one.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, this is the Aura ring four.

[Mo]

Yeah. They have a five now, I guess.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. That. No wonder it's 48 off.

[Mo]

I still want one.

[Rod Ryan]

I hated wearing a wedding ring.

[Mo]

I don't also wear my wedding ring.

[Rod Ryan]

I hated wearing a ring. Does it bother you at all? You never wore ring. Okay. Before you got married.

[Alex]

When? I don't have it now.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Okay. And you wear. You. Let me see. You got your. You got the metal band on. So. Yeah, I. I thought I switched over to that rubber gasket. I thought that would help, that I wouldn't worry about it because I didn't want to lose that ring. Yeah, I had my family. I had some stones put in it and stuff like that. And we did a segment on this radio show. It talked about how many people lost their wedding rings. And I'm like, oh, my God. I got my dad's. I got my dad some things from my dad on that ring. And I didn't want to lose it. So I said, okay, I'm going to be that guy. I'm not going to wear it anymore. And I just bought. Went down to academy and bought a rubber gasket. And I was wearing that. And I hated that. I hate water gets underneath it.

[Alex]

Like, I never noticed it with the rubber ones especially. They're like, skin tight.

[Mo]

It rips my skin off.

[Rod Ryan]

And you're an animal. Animal. Alex, on washing his hands, this guy goes through, like, he'll sing a song and, like, he washes.

[Alex]

I don't think I do anything crazy.

[Rod Ryan]

He washes his hands longer than anybody else. I don't wash my hands, dude. It's a great thing. You make me want to wash longer.

[Alex]

I think some people just don't wash their hands. And like, when you're in the bathroom, you're like, alex actually washes his head every single time I'm there. Yeah. Where there's guys that are just like, they wet their hands and they move on.

[Rod Ryan]

Yep. No, this guy washes it. I. I just. I was getting water underneath the ring and everything. Anyways, back to this. Or I'll take my ring off before

[Alex]

I wash my hands. Hands. But then I Put it back.

[Rod Ryan]

And that's a lot of work, too. I like all the data that the ring provides. I just. I'm not wearing a ring.

[Mo]

I can't see myself committing to that.

[Rod Ryan]

And I don't want to draw and I never wanted to wear a ring because I don't want to draw attention to my, like, girl hands.

[Mo]

You have girl hands?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jim]

Let me look.

[Rod Ryan]

I have girl hands. Look at these.

[Jim]

They're girl.

[Rod Ryan]

They're girl hands.

[Mo]

They're soft.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

They haven't worked a day in their life. Okay. They just haven't worked.

[Mo]

Okay. So maybe don't buy the OURA ring on Amazon Prime. Don't buy things you don't need.

[Rod Ryan]

[Alex]

Well, she said she didn't want to have to be naked for people anymore.

[Rod Ryan]

So she's not.

[Alex]

She's just showing underwear now.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't even know if that was underwear. I think her coos was out.

[Alex]

I thought it was like.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think she was wearing. Oh, my God. The video that everyone's talking about. Apparently not.

[Alex]

That's the first thing I saw this morning when I woke up, and I was like, oh, no.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. So apparently not enough to be trending, but it is headlining the Looking at Girls blog page. So that's it. Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Are you seeing. You seeing what I'm seeing here?

All right, you can go look at that.

[Alex]

You know what? We'll just say without a trending. That's.

[Rod Ryan]

That's our first trend.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

It's okay if it's not. It's not.

[Alex]

Now it is trending.

[Rod Ryan]

We could get it trending Girls. Okay,

[Alex]

I'll combine 2 here. Team USA/Brad Pitt then. Because Brad Pitt was at team. I kind of hated that. They just kept looking at celebrities, and then there were some celebrities that I didn't know. And then I would get mad that they were wasting TV time on people I didn't know.

[Rod Ryan]

There's so many famous people now, but

[Alex]

it was just because it was in la. And then here's Leo. And then here's Leo again. And did you see Edward Norton and Brad Pitt? It's like Fight Club. They're doing this. They're talking to each other. How cool is this?

[Rod Ryan]

But we just came off of the Knicks doing that same thing.

[Alex]

Like, that's basketball.

[Rod Ryan]

No, no, no.

[Alex]

This is basketball.

[Rod Ryan]

This is world. This is the world.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm on the hook. I got my sister coming in town.

I got to cook.

[Mo]

Yeah, I'm in charge of that as well.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. So instacart reveals Americans top fourth of July grocery buys. I. I was looking for something on here to say, what in God's name is that doing on the list. Everything is just real basic stuff.

[Mo]

Really.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Potato chips are up 53%. Hot dogs, hot dog buns. I guess the only thing that I thought was strange was the increase in. In limes. Limes go through the roof. Is it margaritas and drinks specifically?

[Mo]

Fourth of July weekend. They go through the roof?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah. It's the biggest lime weekend.

[Mo]

Coronas.

[Alex]

Yeah.

That's not very American. But okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't normally fruit up my beers, but I know people do. Hamburger buns. Watermelons are up 227%.

[Mo]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Butts wins in the Mid Atlantic. The Pacific Northwest goes with the Kettle brand. Maui style's number one in Hawaii. They don't. They don't point out. I guess we're so. We're so into tortilla chips here.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I bought a dud. It was all rind. It wasn't.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It wasn't ripe yet. It tasted like ass.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It wasn't really deep red on the inside. It was white.

[Mo]

Did you buy it at a chain grocery store?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

I think you can take it back.

[Rod Ryan]

It was five bucks. I don't do it either. But I heard someone do that. I was like, what? I couldn't even salvage a little bit of it.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

The whole thing was ass.

[Mo]

I know. Did you look for all the signs?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know how to pick a watermelon.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Alex]

Oh, you knock on it.

[Mo]

There's like a spot you can look for.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Knock on it twice and it knocks. Don't take it.

[Rod Ryan]

I blamed my kid. I'm like, you picked a dud. I go, you know that. You absolutely picked a stone cold dud. Yeah. It's the first time I've ever gotten a watermelon and none of it was edible. It wasn't terrible.

[Mo]

It wasn't a rotten.

[Rod Ryan]

There was no taste. There was just no taste at all.

[Alex]

It was like a honeydew. At that point, I was like, cool.

[Rod Ryan]

You guys had put down honeydew.

[Alex]

It doesn't taste like anything.

[Rod Ryan]

It's delicious.

[Alex]

It tastes like a bad watermelon.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm gonna go get one now for sure.

[Alex]

Well, you have one at home.

[Rod Ryan]

Basically, you calling me honeydew?

[Alex]

Maybe

[Rod Ryan]

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

That's all my kids eat all summer.

[Alex]

We going freezy pops?

[Mo]

I don't anymore because I have children,

[Rod Ryan]

but I try to mix. Why don't you do the freezy pops?

[Mo]

We try not to do red dye.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, this is the dye.

[Mo]

Yeah, I try. They have it at like birthday parties and stuff. I'm not crazy, but I try not to have it at home.

[Rod Ryan]

It's all right.

[Alex]

As Americans consume red dye. Right.

[Rod Ryan]

We're going to purchase backpacks full of school supplies for the kiddos you've known. We've done this for I don't know how many years now. Working with Houston Children's Charity had a huge week this week. Whataburger came by and brought us a $7,500 check. How huge is that? We're gonna go buy backpacks full of school supplies. I've told you that you know, without getting into how the sausage is made and seeing you, the little man working the levers behind the the curtain, it's just way more expensive now.

Put it next to the Madonna video. That's what you need to do. Put it right next to looking at girls. Because I got people looking at that Madonna video and they're seeing what I'm seeing. I'm just gonna leave it at that. Madonna is headlining to look at girls blog page. What I'm seeing, they're seeing what I'm seeing. Okay, number one, that skirt is too short and she's coming down the stairs. And it's just things happen. Things happened in that video. That's why I was asking Alex if it was trending. So links and guests, hit up the store, help out the kids. If you don't need a T shirt, you don't need a water bottle, you don't need a hat, you don't need any more koozies. There is a place to donate money to to buy a backpack right there.

We should have brought in beers today or something. I feel like what a party.

[Mo]

Want to what time can we buy beers?

[Rod Ryan]

Most oh, what do you got In

[Mo]

Houston's headlines, Rod, it's going to be an awesome weekend. We are walking into it fully prepared for the weather because the weather we experienced all week is continuing slightly above average temperatures in the 90s. Heat index values above 100 every afternoon. That Saharan dust is burning off but it will linger enough to make it a little bit harder for any organized tropical systems, which we love to hear. Low radio chances for the weekend. We are keeping one eye on the rain as it returns mid next week. The president of Venezuela's national assembly says the country has been rocked by more than 135 aftershocks following those crazy earthquakes earlier this week. Search and rescue operations are working around the clock. Nearly 200 people reportedly trapped. We're now coming together locally to find ways to help the victims and survivors. So I found some donation sites that have been opened to collect items. First aid kits, some non perishable foods, hygiene items and stuff like that. A company called Metabox Cargo, their Venezuelan owned shipping company here locally they are working on accepting donations and working through logistics to get them there. We've posted a full list of items and locations if you feel so led. This weekend we're officially halfway into the World cup game games and a study ranked this year's 11 venues from Best to worst for fans. Okay, so they're looking at seven big Metrics. Beer and water prices being one of them. Hotel rates, temperatures, crime rates, even mosquito risk, which I think is what killed us here.

[Rod Ryan]

We're getting dinged for that. And the heat.

[Mo]

Yeah, that's not the best for us. So 11 venues here in Houston, we're number 10 on the list of 11.

[Rod Ryan]

And Los Angeles is number two. Or like the dead last.

[Mo]

Yeah. SOFI Stadium in Inglewood.

[Rod Ryan]

So the best stadium is what for the World Cup?

[Mo]

Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.

[Rod Ryan]

What's number two? Arrowhead, Kansas City.

[Alex]

Yeah. There's a big soccer place.

[Jim]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

The US Plays next week in Santa Clara at Levi Stadium. It's right in the middle of the list.

[Rod Ryan]

You want a little something to look for today?

[Alex]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

If you're gonna watch some World cup, tell me. Okay. Seattle's Pride weekend.

[Alex]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, hear me out.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Seattle's Pride weekend starts today.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Also today in Seattle, they're hosting a World cup game. It is Egypt taking on. How do. How do you want to say it? Iran. Iran.

[Jim]

Iran.

[Rod Ryan]

Iran. Iran. Okay. Egypt taking on Iran.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

In the World cup, both of those countries criminalize homosexuality. How many rainbow flags you think you're going to see at that game today?

[Mo]

A million?

[Alex]

A lot.

[Rod Ryan]

That's. That's what you need to look for.

[Mo]

That's like the headline today of the World Cup.

[Rod Ryan]

FIFA says pride flags and signs will be allowed.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Are they doing anything, like, to commemorate during the game?

[Rod Ryan]

You're in our country now. No, no, no. Absolutely not. FIFA's not getting involved in any of that. But it is a huge. It's. It's pride weekend in Seattle.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And Seattle is a big weekend. Big, big weekend for them. So that'll be interesting to see how this plays out with the game.

[Mo]

Okay. We're getting closer to the wedding of the year, Rod. More details continue to emerge and it's a headline, so I have to talk about it.

[Rod Ryan]

It was so awesome talking about soccer. And then you go to this.

[Mo]

Now I'm talking about football.

[Rod Ryan]

And then you. I know you're following this. No, I'm not. You are.

[Mo]

I just follow the headlines. It's kind of looking like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding will be a multi day event. And Swifties are speculating now that the Thursday next week could be the wedding. Apparently 100 people will gather at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, July 2nd. And the speculation is that's the actual wedding. Friday, potentially 2,000 people for like the larger after party.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't mean to be an. Just 2000 though. Do you need Madison Square Garden for that? Yeah, it holds 20,000 people.

[Alex]

I feel like that's just gonna be the after party. I rather get married before then. The after party is at Madison Square Garden because I feel like they're gonna throw a lot of concerts and stuff. You would have, like, music and things like that.

[Mo]

Okay, I like your speculation.

[Rod Ryan]

Would she get up and sing at her own wedding party?

[Alex]

But her friends are all musicians, too. So you, like, Ed Sheeran could perform.

[Mo]

She has mentioned that before.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't even think. Yeah, they all just get up and jam.

[Alex]

Stevie Nicks could perform. Do they do Stevie Nick's shirt?

[Rod Ryan]

Cell phones in a bag you have to turn in yourself. They're not. They're not allowing you to walk around with a phone. Right.

[Mo]

I also kind of wondered if she would sell the pictures. You know, how a lot of celebrities, like, sell them to People magazine. Like, is she gonna do that or is she gonna be in charge of

[Rod Ryan]

releasing them herself and does somebod Selena Gomez and say, give me your phone, you know?

[Mo]

Yeah, Selena Gomez definitely gets it. Like, she's already in, so she knows the rules, but it's like the date of the 2000th person.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

On the guest list.

[Rod Ryan]

Look at me asking questions like, I'm into it.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm into it. Oh, my God. Is Olivia Wilde going to be there?

[Mo]

Shined down is in the headlines today. They earned their first ever Billboard country chart ranking. Yes. Their second song, searchlight, debuted at 54 on the country charts. And Billboard said after 25 years atop the rock charts, this song had almost a million impressions in a single week for the band. People are hearing it.

[Rod Ryan]

The lines are blurred in all this stuff, and I think it's a good thing, too. I do.

[Mo]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

There we go.

[Alex]

Well, Team USA lost to Turkey 3 to 2 last night in their final group stage game. Turkey scored a late game winner in the 98th minute to give the U.S. their first loss loss of the World Cup. Even though they did rest nine of their starters, they were trying not to get anybody injured. Christian Pulisic got to go in in the second half, and he looked pretty good. So hopefully he'll be ready to go by by Wednesday when we take on Bosnia in the round of 32. So from now on, you lose, you're out. For USA like, they got a couple more group stage games left, but for the usa, you lose, you're out.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a knockout route.

[Alex]

Win or go home or stay home. I guess now that we are already home. Yeah. But yeah, we're taking on Bosnia. We're gonna whip their ass on Wednesday night in San Francisco. In baseball, the Astros got a win last night. They got by the Tigers 2 to 1. Tatsuya Ime struck out 10 while giving up no runs in 6 solid innings of work. Astros are gonna play the Tigers again tonight. Spencer Araghetti will be on the mound for the Strozz going up against Detroit's Kiter Montero. First pitch is at 540 and you can listen to that one on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.

[Alex]

Oh, no.

[Mo]

Did he buy something?

[Jim]

Something?

[Rod Ryan]

I think the stock just went down a little bit.

[Mo]

Check on him.

[Rod Ryan]

So I think he's fine, but I don't. But I don't necessarily know that he's technically a trillionaire. Like this morning.

a trillionaire, but I don't think he trades out his Pillow every three, four months. You do, right? You take care of that hair. 713-212-5945. Win it before they go on sale. It's Rod Ryan's Free Beer Friday.

[Mo]

Okay, tell us.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's see.

[Mo]

What if I don't want you to

[Rod Ryan]

know what I bought a Rod Ryan show Perforated flex fit snapback cap. She bought one of the hats.

[Mo]

I. They look really good.

[Rod Ryan]

I really didn't know she bought one of the hats that. You know how happy that makes me.

[Mo]

Thanks, Denise.

[Rod Ryan]

The. The T shirts. I mean, listen, I gotta sell everything but the T shirts and the water bottles are the things that I am 100% on the hook for that because I had to pre buy a case of them. So thank you so much. You bought a hat today. That's great news. Water bottles, hats, koozies, T shirts. I mean, I need to sell everything. Why? Because things are happening at my company and we're losing People at a rapid rate right now. Well, that's happening, but I'm not trying to supplement my income.

[Jim]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

I am trying to raise money to buy backpacks full of school supplies for kids. So I need you to do some shopping, maybe a donation. Hop in. The Rod Ryan Show Cares online store. Okay. When was the last time I brought up the crazy criminal blog page?

[Mo]

It's been a minute.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. She's 48 years old. She's a doozy. 48 years old. Monique was arrested. CVS in Michigan.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Mo]

Michigan.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Cops cuffed her, patted her down for weapons, told her get in the squad car. They thought that she was kind of like lifting some things from the store from cbs. So quick, pat down. No problems here. Now you got to get in the squad car. She's like, no, I'm not getting inside the car. The cop said, you don't have a choice. So very slowly, awkwardly maneuvered her way into the back seat of the car. She then takes a very uncomfortable ride down to the cop station. She was struggling back there. The cops noted that she was struggling in the back seat, so they had her checked by a corrections officer at the jail. Turns out Monique's limited range of motion was because she had a full bottle of wine inside her.

[Mo]

Where?

[Rod Ryan]

A full bottle of wine? Right in her chalkers. Right in the Canal Gal. Not one of those mini bottles. A 12 inch, 2 1/2 pound bottle. I didn't know those things weighed 2 1/2 pounds.

[Mo]

No, but now I know.

[Rod Ryan]

Mo. I couldn't make this stuff up.

[Mo]

Well, I would hope not.

[Rod Ryan]

It's called Cupcake Vineyards. Pinot Grigio, if you want to look it up.

[Mo]

You know the one. Ladies know the one.

[Rod Ryan]

What is this?

[Mo]

Cupcake wine.

[Rod Ryan]

Cupcake brand.

[Mo]

It's cute.

[Rod Ryan]

Cupcake Vineyards, Pinot Grigio.

[Mo]

Okay. We're not going to be able to see it and think about any other person than mo' Nique now.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, so that's creating the visual for you.

[Mo]

Sure is.

[Rod Ryan]

You got it now. Loud and concealed.

[Mo]

Heavy and concealed.

[Rod Ryan]

According to the cops, inside her person. That's how they write that out when

[Mo]

they're writing up the report.

[Rod Ryan]

On her person? No, inside her person.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Cupcake Vineyards, Pinot Grigio.

[Jim]

Okay.

[Mo]

Are there any more?

[Rod Ryan]

Two and a half House.

[Mo]

What they do after she swiped it from cvs. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

It's. It's a screw top.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

So she wouldn't have needed a wine opener to get after it, did she?

[Jim]

Never got.

[Rod Ryan]

So her plan wasn't foiled.

[Alex]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

What did.

[Mo]

How did they get it out, Rod?

[Rod Ryan]

Well, you have people there. You have corrections officers.

[Mo]

That's what they do.

[Rod Ryan]

And they had her checked and then they would. They had to get it out of there. I got the mug shot. I don't have.

[Mo]

There's no X ray.

[Rod Ryan]

They don't have X ray technology. Right there at the spot. I would have loved to seen a shot of. This Wednesday, she pled guilty to felony contraband count that carries a maximum five year prison sentence. In return, prosecutors have agreed to drop several of the charges. Sentencing in August. Now, we know that a wine bottle is 12 inches and we know that it's about two and a half pounds. Pounds. That's what she was carrying on her person.

[Mo]

In her person.

[Rod Ryan]

In her person. She's a beauty. She's a beauty. Mug shots are available on the Crazy criminal blog page.

[Mo]

We're getting close.

[Rod Ryan]

But I mean, I was just talking to Chili and he's like, oh, dude, I'm struggling today. Like, he was up late he was watching the game. Oh yeah, I made it. They do a little countdown. Three, two, one, boom. Game on, nine o'.

[Alex]

Clock.

[Rod Ryan]

I watched maybe 60 seconds of that game.

[Mo]

Yeah, I was out.

[Rod Ryan]

I, I just, I struggle.

[Mo]

I was like a man. I was thinking about Alex, like oh wow, he's not even to the Rustic yet.

[Alex]

Honestly I would say it's Yalls fault. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I was thinking about you because I'm like, I was already kind of half conking out at like 8:30 on the couch and then I got. God damn. Alex is just getting rolling at the Rustic. How was it?

[Alex]

I had a great time.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I love the Rustic.

[Alex]

Ashley was there. We had Milton come out. Milton was there. My parents came. Yeah, we got to meet my parents. That was fun.

[Jim]

Cool.

[Rod Ryan]

That's cool.

[Alex]

Steve and K Mike came. Was a lot of fun.

[Rod Ryan]

People talk to people all dressed up. They're wearing their USA jerseys and stuff.

[Alex]

There's a lot of fun.

[Rod Ryan]

I almost cheaped out. Where was I? I stopped into Walmart yesterday. They had some like Walmart USA shirts. I'm like should I just like pick up a couple?

[Alex]

Oh, you could have you to fall asleep.

[Rod Ryan]

Too late. I, I said you know what, I'm going to buy it and then they're going to lose and Elsa going to blame me for buying a Walmart shirt when I, when I have had that 150 jersey in my hand like three like a month ago and I didn't buy it. By the way, if you'd like to

[Alex]

watch some more World cup soccer with me tomorrow afternoon I'm gonna be out at the Marriott Marquis, Texas Lazy River Bar. I'm gonna be hanging out there 2:30 to 4:30 tomorrow watching some World cup soccer with my friends at Neutral. Come have some nudies with me. Can you get this around a little Lazy River?

[Rod Ryan]

Do I need a wristband?

[Alex]

I didn't know this until like this week. I was like, you can just go to the Lazy River. Yeah, they got a whole pool bar and everything that you can go.

[Rod Ryan]

I feel like Mo would know about this.

[Mo]

Yeah, you got to get a wristband like a day pass, right?

[Alex]

You can get a day pass though. Yeah, you can hang out there with me. Have some Moody's.

[Mo]

It's the coolest dude.

[Alex]

Yeah. 2:30 to 4:30 barrier marquee tomorrow and then Sunset Rooftop downtown. I'll be there on Monday 9 to 7 or 7 to 9. Who is this guy?

[Rod Ryan]

Watch World cup with me.

[Alex]

Come hang out with me in neutral. It's a lot of fun.

[Mo]

He's our soccer guy.

[Alex]

He is a lot of fun.

[Mo]

Choose your jerseys, man.

[Alex]

And people.

[Rod Ryan]

That sounds fun. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative all day. And the Rod ryan Morning show.

[Alex]

94.

[Mo]

5 the Buzz

[Rod Ryan]

Here we come. Yeah. 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Free beer Friday still in play. We got one case of beer left for you. We'll get to that. Straight up. As close to nine as I can possibly get there. It all depends what Mo has to talk about here. I got a 10 chance or rain. Partly cloudy skies. That's today and tomorrow. 93. 94. Right. Sunday is a 20% chance of rain. Go ahead, Mo. What you got in Houston's headlines?

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Mo]

The heat index, though, right? Above 100 each afternoon. And Saharan dust. Also in the headlines. Low chance of rain through the weekend. But one eye is watching the rain. It's moving in mid next week. Week, Yeah. I don't like to see it. I made a promise to you, Rod, that when it was time to buy a lottery ticket, I would tell you. I think today's your day.

[Rod Ryan]

Usually I like to be notified, you know, don't bother me unless it's 400 million or so.

[Mo]

Okay. Well, then definitely today's the day. I hope you need gas. People across the country are hoping to win nearly a half billion dollars tonight.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

The Mega millions jackpot was 467 million in 2000. Tuesday's drawing, but nobody matched all sick numbers. I don't know. That's when they picked the numbers.

[Rod Ryan]

The drawing.

[Mo]

So the grand prize rolls over to tonight's. The jackpot will be at least 489 million. Cash option, 220 million. Nearly half a billion dollars.

[Rod Ryan]

What if she leaves the L out of crawling? Like she just. Like.

[Mo]

Maybe your baby's crawling the L. L? Nope, leave it. It's there.

[Rod Ryan]

The L is there. I thought maybe you borrowed the L from crawling overall.

[Mo]

Speech impediment that I will never get over, apparently.

[Rod Ryan]

Now, do you say drooling?

[Mo]

Drooling.

[Rod Ryan]

Drooling.

[Mo]

But I'm wearing a bra. Which also has an L. You're wearing a bra.

[Jim]

No.

[Alex]

It's bad.

[Mo]

I know. Okay, let's talk about booze. Should bars limit alcoholic drinks to one every 30 minutes? Let me explain.

[Rod Ryan]

This is really scary.

[Mo]

The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is considering several changes to liquor licenses. And according to business owners, one of them is limiting patrons to one drink every 30 minutes. And it is a mess.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, Anywhere in there does it mention. Hey, I'm not the one driving there's none of that. Right? It's just one drink every 30 minutes. They're considering it or they're implementing it.

[Mo]

They're considering it.

[Rod Ryan]

Come on.

[Mo]

I would like to hear their side. Like, what would it possibly be?

[Rod Ryan]

This is embarrassing. We have people from around the world in our country right now.

[Mo]

We should just skip over talking about.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't want them hearing this. They seem like they're having such a good time.

[Mo]

One drink every 30 minutes. There's one bar owner that owns a wine bar, and she's like, what, am I supposed to put egg timers on every table?

[Alex]

That's. Yeah. He's so hard to police.

[Mo]

And, like, she wants to sell a bottle of wine. Wine. So, like, restaurants. What about big parties? You have, like 15 people around a table.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Jim]

What.

[Rod Ryan]

How are you going to police that?

[Mo]

It seems ridiculous. They're also, in this same proposal, looking at banning the sale of shots of liquor and bottles of wine within one hour of their closing time. So, again, think about the restaurants that close at, say, 10:30.

[Rod Ryan]

Last call is the best thing ever. Like, okay, give me 10. Let's get a shaker going here.

[Mo]

It's bad. They're all up in arms. Rightfully so.

[Rod Ryan]

Thought this was America.

[Mo]

Clive Davis laid to rest Monday in New York City and his funeral. The lineup is pretty stacked, right? Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys. I see Barry Manilow, Kenny G, Jennifer Hudson. More names expected to be announced. No word on what these artists are doing, but it says, quote, unquote, participate. So are they going to perform Speak? Both. I also haven't seen if it's going to be broadcast anywhere, because I think that would be fascinating to see these tributes come in for him. And then, last but not least, this is a name that I learned from you this morning. Melissa Ostermar.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

One of VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll.

[Jim]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Super. She's a really good bass player.

[Mo]

Toured the world with whole Smashing Pumpkins. I did a deep dive on her today. Well, apparently she documented her life backstage, her life on stage, in the crowd. She was everywhere with her film camera. Tens of thousands of photographs, and she's now releasing some of them in a book. My 90s rock photographs. This lady is so fascinating.

[Rod Ryan]

It's so cool that she just did this, not knowing what the end game would be. I watched a documentary on the band the Police. I get it. Older people band. But Stuart Copeland had a. The drummer just thought it was cool. And he took an 8mm camera with him everywhere, and he's got like all around the world, 8 millimeter footage. And they made a documentary out of the stuff that he.

[Mo]

And that's what you watched.

[Rod Ryan]

Who was the guy? This is in your time, Alex. He was an actor and he had like one of the first VHS cameras. It was like. And he had Sean Penn and everybody hanging out, out all of these celebrities that we know. And this guy went out and bought. It was like a Nick Cage kind of guy when they were really young, starting out Brat Packers. And he bought. He was early on. And he got a camera. Was it Emilio Estevez?

[Alex]

I have no idea.

[Rod Ryan]

It was one of those guys. And then you just see everybody hanging out, smoking cigarettes and just making goofy movies. And he made a documentary.

[Mo]

You didn't plan on them getting released on social media, so you weren't trying to hide stuff.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, but the thing was, he had one of the first VHS camcorders.

[Mo]

Tracy.

[Jim]

And then.

[Rod Ryan]

And he's got all these celebrities on it.

[Mo]

Hey, those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Are they now? And it's Alex's turn. This guy loves a World Cup. I can't believe how, how much partying you're doing.

[Alex]

Yeah, it's fun, dude. When neutral invites you a party, you do it.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't even ask anymore. Like normally, like in my, my, my heyday here, I'd be like, okay, what time did you get in last night? I don't even ask anymore. Yeah, your party started at 8:30.

[Alex]

I want to sleep at like 12:30.

[Rod Ryan]

Jeezy greasy.

[Alex]

I showed up on time, didn't I? Yes, you daddy always shows up. Yeah. Team USA lost, lost to Turkey 3 to 2 last night in their final group stage game. Turkey scored a late game winner in the 98th minute to give the U.S. their first loss of the World Cup. It was, it was a bummer, man. Like, everybody was pretty stoked, like, okay, well, we'll get a result, whatever. Going to get a tie. We'll get a point. And then they just got it at the very end when it took the air out of everybody, but it sucked. We're going to play Bosnia in the round of 32 on Wednesday night. So from now on, you lose, you go home. That game will be in San Francisco on Wednesday night. In baseball, Astros got a win last night. They got by the Tigers 2 to 1. Tatsuya ime struck out 10 while giving up no runs over 6 solid innings work. Astros are going to play the Tigers again tonight. Spencer Arrighetti will be on the mound for the Stroz going Up against Detroit's Kiter Montero. First pitch is at 5:40 and you can hear it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.

[Mo]

Val Kilmer, he has all that footage.

[Rod Ryan]

Val Kilmer? Yeah, his documentary. And he just thought it was a cool thing that you could take a video camera all around with you with a battery pack. So Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, Robert Downey Jr.

[Alex]

They're kids.

[Rod Ryan]

They're kids. And he's filming them and they're all just sitting around smoking their cigarettes and stuff and doing things that, you know, bratty Hollywood kids would do. The Val Kilmer documentary. Oh, my God, it was so good. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative and home of

But. Awesome.

[Jim]

Thank y'. All.

[Rod Ryan]

You know, while we're at it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Not sorry. Oh, it's a cracker disaster. All right, Randy, Have a great week. Where you from?

[Jim]

Freeport.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, dude, we're going to hook you up with the fourth and final case of beer today. Hang on for me. Randy, you're awesome. Don't be such a stranger, man. Call us once in a while. Open phones Friday. Open phones Friday.

[Jim]

Friday.

[Rod Ryan]

More like open phones fry. Yay. Okay, can I get some open phones in my life? Chili's got everybody boxed out. Bring them over. Let's go. The water's fine. 713-212-5945. If you want to get on board for open phones Friday, I'm gonna raw dog a couple of these. Hey, Chris. Good morning.

[Jim]

Hey, good morning. It rang half time once and then you raw dog it. That's awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, that's it. I'm like. I'm completely. We're live without a net, baby. You're on open phone Friday. Hopefully you're not calling for beer.

[Jim]

No, no, I never get through for that. But always open phones. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

What do you got for open phones? Dude, you're live.

[Mo]

Yeah. What's up this weekend?

[Jim]

Well, just. Well, a couple things. Just wanted to touch on the soccer. I've done the cal she past week, week and a half or so. I've won probably about 300 bucks total. So that's been nice.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Congratulations.

[Jim]

Yeah. And trying for that 22500 bucks every day. Four times a day past three weeks, not once.

[Rod Ryan]

So I didn't know.

[Jim]

I won pit tickets to Godsmack last month. So I don't know if the 30 days has anything to do with whether they choose a winner for this or not. I would assume so. But Today is my 30th day. So hopefully in the next week I will win that.

[Rod Ryan]

What? Here's. This is just a little inside trading here now. You win something here 30 days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a thing. This thing. This is an iHeart National. They don't know that you won tickets from us. So I'm. I'm gonna tell this to every. I'm gonna share this information with everybody. If you were thinking, oh, I just won something and I can't get in on the $2,500. You can get in on the $2,500. There's no way they could keep track of that.

[Mo]

Let's go try.

[Rod Ryan]

So that means everybody. Okay, that's a great tip for everyone. Chris, I'm glad you brought that up because a lot of people probably don't know that. Thank you.

[Mo]

Next code word at 11.

[Rod Ryan]

11 o' clock with Jeremy.

[Mo]

Jeremy Will be here.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, Chris. Mark, you're next up on open phones. Good morning, Mark.

[Jim]

Good morning, Rod. How are you, my friend?

[Rod Ryan]

Awesome. What do you got for us today?

[Jim]

Well, you talked about having a pool and everything, and I have a pool workout that's awesome for everybody, golfers, anyone over 40. And you probably don't like going to the gym anymore because you probably get recognized and get popped in for photo ops and everything, so. Well, it's not that bad just reaching out.

[Rod Ryan]

So you have a pool workout.

[Jim]

It's true.

[Mo]

What's that mean?

[Rod Ryan]

So, Mo, you got a pool?

[Jim]

Okay, look at it. Not, not, not billiards in the water.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what is your background, Mark, that you've come up with this pool program?

[Jim]

Well, I used to be in a system, golf pro. And now I'm just kind of milling around and I figured out these exercises that are unbelievable because no one really uses the buoyancy resistance. So keeping things underwater that want to float is harder than letting them float.

[Rod Ryan]

The one thing that really opened my eyes, I don't know if Alex would remember what we were watching, but it was, it was Terrell Owens. And if you ever seen how muscular and how crazy in shape Terrell Owens is still to one of the all time great wide receivers. Doesn't matter how you feel about him, the way that that guy is put together and he said everything he does is bands in a pool. That's it, right? Tio says that's how he. That's how he maintains push ups.

[Alex]

Sit ups was like pretty much what he did.

[Rod Ryan]

The majority of what he wasn't. Yeah. And he said everything he does now are bands and in a pool. And I'm like, God, he's so ripped and sh. Shredded still, right?

[Jim]

Oh, yeah. Well, that's like just like you're running with the parachute, but in the water it's just hydro resistant.

[Alex]

So.

[Jim]

Yeah, I do have a channel on YouTube and it is Pool Fitness Golf Gorilla. And all you need are a pair of the extra large foam straight side of cool weights to get started.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Jim]

Don't have to go underwater. And the resistance from holding those things underwater is a lot greater than you. You think? So you got a pool?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. Give me. How do we find you on YouTube?

[Jim]

Pool Fitness Golf Gorilla.

[Mo]

I got it.

[Rod Ryan]

That sounds awesome, dude. Thank you. Thank you, Mark. I don't go to a gym, a traditional gym. I, for the last two years now, maybe a little longer, have been using the sixth floor here. There's a little gym in our Building. And I don't pay day. And it doesn't have everything, but it's got just enough.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

To keep me going. But I have thought about maybe getting back into the gym game. The problem is once I get in my car, I'm in trouble. Yeah, I'll go home.

[Mo]

Going home.

[Rod Ryan]

I'll go home. I park on the sixth floor. I get off the elevator and I'm like, hey, fat ass, go to the right about it. The left is my car. If I go right, it's the gym. I park on that. And I argue with myself every day to go to the gym.

[Mo]

Good job.

[Rod Ryan]

I just used. Yeah, I just used a little gym here. But I'll check out your pool workout.

[Mo]

Heck, yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

This first time I ever got on

[Jim]

the air was today. I'm freaking excited. Turned out good. I'm driving right now. I'm over. I'm over in Winnie right now driving this big old dump truck all day.

[Rod Ryan]

What are you hauling in that dump truck?

[Jim]

Well, today I'm hauling nothing but clay.

[Rod Ryan]

Clay, okay.

[Jim]

But we do all kinds of things.

[Rod Ryan]

You moving that clay from one side of town to the the other.

[Jim]

Well, we're going from Winnie to Beaumont to a pipeline.

[Rod Ryan]

Gotcha, Richard.

[Jim]

Yeah. I've been doing this for, like, six months now. I've been listening to y' all ever since I started this job.

[Mo]

Thanks, Richard.

[Rod Ryan]

I love it. Now, there's a radio, like, in the dump truck. There's a radio in the dash right there that it comes with it or you got to bring something. You got to bring a phone or something?

[Jim]

No, it's the radio comes in the truck.

[Mo]

Modern or do you have to, like, two necks?

[Jim]

I. I tune it. I gotta tune it up.

[Mo]

That's awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

That's so cool, bro. Can you, when you're done driving, take a picture in front of your dump truck? I want. I want to see a picture of you in your front of your truck. Would you send that to me?

[Jim]

All right, I can do that. Yeah, no problem.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Rod@the buzz.com. thank you, Richard.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Alina.

[Mo]

Oh, here we go.

[Rod Ryan]

Alina. Allin all.

[Alex]

Lena, you should just commit to it, right?

[Rod Ryan]

All morning long. All morning long. All ina. Hey, did you go to the jackass movie? Yes, we did.

[Jim]

So whenever I did the gender vendors and after you, I got off because y' all guessed it.

[Rod Ryan]

We called that and Jack got through.

[Jim]

As I said, think like 10, 11, or 12 caller.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I gave away a bunch of extra passes. Yeah.

[Jim]

And so we ended up going. We were going to do, like, a double date thing with one of my friends, and they backed out, literally, like 30 minutes before we got to the show.

[Rod Ryan]

This is what it's like talking to girls. Like, we don't need all these details. Like, girls don't like to leave any things out at all. How was the movie?

[Jim]

Regardless? The movie was freaking awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

Thank you. That is the important part. We're glad you had the best time, and we're glad you enjoy it.

[Rod Ryan]

No, it's okay.

[Mo]

Got to see Teresa hanging out there.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you see Teresa?

[Jim]

No, I didn't.

[Mo]

We didn't see her.

[Jim]

We were focused on the show, but at the end, it was a very. It was a tear darker.

[Mo]

I cried a little bit.

[Rod Ryan]

Interesting. Stick around to the very end.

[Mo]

Thank you for that.

[Rod Ryan]

I like that.

[Mo]

Thanks for letting us know, mama.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, well, listen, number one, thank you. Thank you for playing along with all of our silly games and calling in and all of that. I really, really appreciate it all.

[Jim]

Of course, y' all make my morning. Me and my husband, we listen to

[Alex]

y' all every morning.

[Jim]

And so that's like our ritual.

[Rod Ryan]

So I really, really, really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Have the best weekend. Denise, you're next up on open phones. Good morning.

[Jim]

Good morning. How are you doing?

[Rod Ryan]

Great, man. What you got for us today? You're on the air.

[Jim]

Just. I just want to say I've been having a great time with. With the soccer fans out here with my first world national game last week. Saturday, the Netherlands and Sweden.

[Rod Ryan]

Are you going. Are you just going down to the fan fest and getting involved in all the partying outside? Are you actually going into the games?

[Jim]

I actually bought a ticket last minute and went into the game, too. I did both.

[Rod Ryan]

How did that work? How do you get a ticket last minute? Just on the phone like you're. You're. You're checking out.

[Jim]

I just went online and just went on the land. Yeah, here I go. 300 later.

[Rod Ryan]

Were you down there with that crate? All the Netherlands people here?

[Jim]

Yes.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Was that the most fun ever?

[Jim]

It was.

[Mo]

I had a blast.

[Jim]

Top notch down there. They did a great job.

[Rod Ryan]

I think there's a lot of people, myself included. I haven't gotten involved. I'm feeling fomo. Like this thing's going to look so this thing's going to come and go. Like Alex is out partying all the time with all these. With all these groups of people watching all these games with neutral. And I'm feeling, Denise, you're a great call. You're telling people that, hey, the World cup is in our city. Get involved. Go down to these things. I'm not a soccer fan.

[Jim]

I'm not a soccer fan. This is my first time ever going to a soccer game and you're just had a great time.

[Rod Ryan]

You're just caught up. Up in it.

[Mo]

It's here.

[Alex]

So great.

[Mo]

Yep.

[Rod Ryan]

That's great. That's. That's gonna get me off my ass to go do something about it, too. Thank you. Let's see here. Whoa, wait a minute. On the phone, Bro Brad on the phone.

[Alex]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

What? Is that correct?

[Mo]

Look at the way you looked at me.

[Jim]

Like, what?

[Rod Ryan]

He's like a celebrity.

[Mo]

I know.

[Rod Ryan]

Like when he shows up a place like, oh my God, Bro Brad's here.

[Jim]

Holy crap.

[Alex]

I nervous right now.

[Rod Ryan]

I even like, oh, my God, he's so famous, Bro Brad.

[Mo]

I didn't do my hair for this.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know what you're calling about, but I did want to say that an anniversary just recently came up and I saw the video of you jumping off of the roof of your house into the pool, swan diving, drinking a beer, and I said, oh, my God, that's when we met bro Brad. He had that crazy video which made him famous on this show. How many years ago was that now, dude.

[Jim]

Oh, dude, that's. You read my mind. That's exactly what kind of what I was calling about. It's been six years and a week, dude. I mean, it's. It's flu, it's flew by. But dude, I just. You just need to hear this. And I know I've told you a million times, but dude, I. I love you, you, man. And I just can't thank. Thank you enough for all the friendships I've developed through your show and how many cool people are in this Rod Grind family and how far it extends. It's just crazy, man. I go to places and. And people say, wait, you're a bro brand. Yeah, yeah. It's just. It's just crazy. And dude. And you let me hand out backpacks. I don't know if you remember that. That been six years ago, but it made a difference in my life to see those kids and their faces when we were handing out backpacks and everything. And so I just want to encourage people to go to your store and buy stuff and donate and stuff. And you just. You just don't know. I want everybody to get an opportunity to. To advance in life and give and given every chance they can. And when you see those kids faces, it just soaks in big time. So I'm going to keep trying to do all I can to help out and everything, but I really encourage people to go into stores. The shirts are cool, the hats are cool. I even ordered that jug you were talking about. That was water bottle. There you go. Water bottle.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Jim]

Listen, but y' all are awesome. And I just can't say it enough, dude. And I just appreciate you so much. And. And then you think about it. Me and Chili wouldn't have our relationship if it Wouldn't be for you. I mean, about that.

[Rod Ryan]

I see him right now. Look at.

[Mo]

Look at his lips, his face.

[Jim]

Hey, dude. Dude. Hey. When you answered the phone, when you answered my phone, my Fitbit went to 140 on my heart rate.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jim]

I love it. It's crazy. Hey, hey. One. One last thing, Rod. I know I talk too much and. And everything, but this Saturday, I'll be out at Saddle River Range. And it starts at 10am but it's called Second Amendment Day. And. And we're going to celebrate America's birthday. 250th birthday also, but there's going to be music, food and giveaways, etc, and they love your show by the way. They talk about it all the time, but they are kind of like my second family. So if. If y' all could come out, I'll be out there. I'll have my ars. I'll have a pistol. You want to shoot them? I'll let you shoot them. But it's going to be a great time. I've talked to the plumber and I think he's going to show up.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my God.

[Alex]

That he's got a direct line.

[Mo]

Where's it. Where's. Where is it? Saddle river range.

[Jim]

Range? Yeah. It's in Magnolia. They say Conroe, but it's really Magnolia. It's a pretty good drive for. For the plumber, but, you know, he's gonna make some time, so.

[Rod Ryan]

That's awesome, Brad. Thank you so much. You've been so generous in the store and everything that you kind of said you want everybody to be happy. You want you. You're promoting these other things, not your. Yourself. And that says everything about your character. And we're so lucky to have you in our family. We are.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. So in the store, I. I have, like, just donations there, and it's set up in 20 increments. Yeah, they were never 20. They were always about 23. They're about 33 bucks a backpack. That's what I mean. That's like, that's my cost on it. It's about $33 for a backpack. I used to. I wanted to make it easy on you guys. I would sell a T shirt and I would say, buy a T shirt, and that's going to be a backpack for a kid. I kind of need to sell two T shirts now to get a backpack. Everything's gone up, JC and, you know, I'm not complaining about it. Just everything's more expensive.

[Jim]

Oh, I understand now. Yeah, everything is going up. I totally agree. So how would I go ahead and buy, like, four bags, backpacks?

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

I threw it away. Somebody sent me a little trip chart that I put up on our Facebook page. What? What?

[Jim]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

Can you help me out with? With picking out a watermelon?

[Jim]

Well, it's kind of a shout out all at the same time. My family has been selling produce for a little over a hundred years.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jim]

So I've probably forgotten more about produce than what most people know.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Where do you sell anyway? Where do you sell your produce?

[Jim]

If you want to get you a My family has five fruit stands. One located in Island Crystal Beach Beach. Another one is located off of I10.563 Liberty exit. And if you want you a good watermelon or any kind of produce, go there and you will get the best of everything.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so you know all these things. I got a couple rapid fire questions for you. Elongated or round? What's better?

[Jim]

Oh, well, it depends on your preference whether or not you like seeded watermelon or seed less watermelon.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, what is seedless round?

[Jim]

Generally, yes, but they have elongated seed left different variety.

[Rod Ryan]

Dude, I don't care about spitting out seeds. I'm fine with that. I want a sweet ass watermelon. I want a sweet, juicy watermelon. What do I look for?

[Jim]
