Transcript

[Alex]

Here we go.

[Rod Ryan]

Here we go. Here we go. Come on, come on. Lock and load. Good morning. This is Ed McMahon. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's Rod Ryan Thursday. I love that it's Thursday guy. Good morning. Rob Ryan show checking in. Throwback Thursday. We have three songs for you just waiting for your vote on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog page. Oh, I love seeing some monster magnet in there. Seven time hall of famer, two time world champion. Why is the carpet wet, Todd? He's back in the driver's seat for the fresh out of bed, head to head. You take him on at 6:20 breaking Benjamin Chevelle tickets. You're getting those in homeroom on the fun fact flashback Fly leaf tickets at 7:20. Read my lips. Oh, that's right. I'll be asking you to email me all morning long. Mo takes on Alex at 8:20 for that $100 gift card to the Republic Grill. Let's see here. Where are those Three Days Grace tickets? Oh, there they are. Buzzaween. That's gonna be on Mo the show. It's gonna be like one of the last things we do before we get out of here today. Nothing over a rain. Yeah, right. I think I said there was going to be no rain yesterday and I got rained on.

[Mo]

You got rained?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Two seconds? No, no. For the 20 minutes that I needed to be out was heavy. Not, I mean, number two level on the windshield wiper, not number one level. Number two level three, the 20 minutes that I was out, I got rained on. 10 chance of rain today. That could be just right over my house. Partly cloudy, high of 91. Good morning, Mo. What you got?

[Mo]

In Houston's headline Good morning. President Trump says, quote, I love the inflation.

[Rod Ryan]

He love the inflation.

[Mo]

Yeah. He was asked if he was concerned by new government data showing May's annual inflation rate. It hit 4.2%, which is the highest since April of 2023. And that's when he said, quote, no, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as the war is over, it's going to come down like a rock. He then made a surprising disclosure saying the US had been taking out millions of barrels of oil from Iran in covert overnight operations. But energy prices driven by the whole Iran war accounted for more than 60% of the overall monthly increase in yesterday's index report. Houston city council voted 15 to 1 yesterday to pass the city's $7.5 billion budget for the upcoming year. Rod, that means that extra $5 monthly trash fee will soon appear on your water bill.

[Rod Ryan]

You playing the band garbage for this story?

[Alex]

Well, I mean, you're paranoid about the water going up, so I thought this is very appropriate.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Yeah. Budget takes effect July 1. You probably won't see the trash fee on your bill until August, but they're promising more reliable trash pickup, which I know you've been worried about.

[Alex]

Sure they'll come through on that.

[Mo]

Yeah, we'll see. The World cup countdown billboard outside of our office has expired. Doesn't even say zero. It just has nothing on it. Okay, so things officially kick off today. And my favorite part so far is the visitors in America for the World cup that are getting their first taste of the United States of America.

[Alex]

Oh, yeah, it's very my favorite thing on the Internet.

[Rod Ryan]

So happy vloggers and bloggers and finding Waffle House for the first time.

[Alex]

Sometimes, like if you take away a lot of the other stuff people talk mess about this country with, it's like,

[Rod Ryan]

it is pretty badass.

[Alex]

That's why there's a lot of people here.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a great place.

[Mo]

Ellie Langley, this, this song Choosing Texas. A German guy said this has been his soundtrack for his trip. Just discovered her and Waffle House, Waffle House, Walmart, Buc ee's was so cute.

[Rod Ryan]

Barbecue.

[Mo]

There was a Swedish lady that said she found ranch dressing for the first time. And she says it's basically crack.

[Alex]

It is the best thing in the world watching.

[Mo]

She also discovered or found Saul, her first Amish people, which we don't get a lot of that here in Texas. That's probably crazy, crazy to see for the first time.

[Rod Ryan]

So there's a bunch of stuff, I mean, if you want to know about all the games, the matches, everything. There's a bunch of World cup things that are going to be on links and guests today. It's a great like resource. But to see the blogging and the vlogging that's going on, my favorite that's on links and guests.

[Mo]

Tim Allen walks the red carpet for this week's Toy Story 5 premiere. And he was asked about the rumored home Improvement revival. And basically he said, yeah, there's one big problem. The kids from the show, they're all messed up. Jonathan Taylor Thomas and the other one, Taran Noah Smith, the very young one, they don't actually act anymore.

[Alex]

JTT quit.

[Mo]

Yeah. The last time he did it was 10 years ago when he was on Tim Allen's Last Man Standing. But then, yeah, Zachary Ty Bryan is currently in jail.

[Alex]

Like you get like a work release program.

[Mo]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think they let you out to do a TV show.

[Alex]

They might.

[Mo]

And then, last but not least, the trailer for the Green Day Road Trip movie called Nimrods is out now. It looks really funny. Besides the guys of Green Day, there are several familiar faces I'm seeing in the trailer. Jenna Fisher's in there, Bobby Lee. But it hits theaters August 14th. And those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Take it, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros lost to the Angels 3 to 2 in extra innings last night. They're not 31 and 39 on the season. They're gonna have a day off today before they open up a weekend series with the Royals tomorrow night in Kansas City. In basketball, boy, oh, boy, San Antonio, what a comeback.

[Rod Ryan]

You let it go.

[Mo]

Oh, something.

[Alex]

The Knicks got by the Spurs 107, 106 in Game 4 of the Finals. They're up 31 in the series. They trailed by 29 points at one point in the game before pulling off the biggest comeback in NBA history. At one point, Victor Wima, the French phenom from the spurs, not sure that's his name. He points to his head. He's like, I'm in your head. I'm inside your head. They proceeded to then blow the game. Not a great look for him. Probably not the face of this league, if you ask me. But OJ OG and Anubi scored with 1.2 seconds left to give the Knicks the win. Every celebrity in the world that's ever been in New York City was there and they were all losing their minds. Larry David wearing earplugs was the most on brand thing I saw. And then the crowds have just been out on the streets since then. I saw this morning they were just chanting at UPS driver. They were going ups, UPS just because he was driving by Madison Square Garden. Pretty awesome stuff. But they're gonna play game five Saturday night. The World cup starts today. Like Mo says, Team USA is going to play our first game tomorrow night against Paraguay. We got two games on the schedule today. Kicking things off. It's going to be Mexico taking on South Africa at 2 o' clock and then at 9 tonight, Chechiya is going to face South Korea. We got both games on Fox and FS1. And then in hockey, the Hurricanes and Golden Knights are going to play Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final tonight. Series is tied up at two games apiece. That'll start at seven and you can watch it on abc. That is what's going on in sports.

[Rod Ryan]

Here we go. Good time in sports right now, except for the Astros. Damn, that sucks. Right? It's baseball season.

[Alex]

It's like Fourth of July is when we really get into baseball.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. Yeah, you're right. Here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. So a lot of interaction today. I run around here saying we're the most interactive show on the radio. Let's see here. There's a question on Facebook that's already got gotten rolling. I need you to vote on Throwback Thursday. I need you to email me and give me word suggestions for Read my Lips that were playing at 820. I mean, that's just some of what I'm looking for out of you today. Oh, and I'd also like a first phone call. So if you're up and ready to rock and you want to get us started today with that first phone call. 713-212-5945. The most interactive show on the radio.

[Mo]

Something.

[Rod Ryan]

Todd, you knew it. Yeah, but you. I'm telling you, he just got in there. All right. I would say one of the biggest upsets of the entire year. James, welcome back. You're a one timer. You just took down a bohemian, like one of the greats of all time. Probably one of those guys that's on the Mount Rushmore of this game. You just beat him. James, you want to play tomorrow? Absolutely. We're gonna do it.

[Mo]

[Alex]

That's not that one.

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Mo]

What's this one? This Is I'm thinking I Love Lucy. Is it the same. Ish.

[Rod Ryan]

I think you're thinking of a movie.

[Alex]

Laverne and Shirley block of programming.

[Mo]

I've heard of them.

[Mo]

Oopsie.

[Rod Ryan]

Thelma and Louise. All right, here we go. I throwing out some fun facts. My goodness. We're behind already. We are. We're born with only two natural fears. Only two. Think about all the things you're fearful of. It was all learned and acquired later in life. The only things that we're born with is the fear of falling and the fear of loud sounds. Everything else is learned. Crazy.

[Mo]

It's kind of sad.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow. In the early Sherlock's Home stories, guy was addicted to cocaine.

[Alex]

That is fun.

[Mo]

The main character.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Sherlock Holmes was addicted to coke. The old Times studio. 54 different times he was there dancing. Copied. That's not neat, Alex. I heard you on that.

[Alex]

It's not neat. Somebody might be.

[Rod Ryan]

There's real. There's really no definitive answer here. But the best reason they think zero is called love. In tennis. They say it most likely comes from the French word for the egg, which is la O. I'm sure I'm nailing that. That. And then since egg looks like a zero, then you know egg. And that's neat. Yeah.

[Alex]

Good try, Loaf.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. Something to that effect. 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. Like, is the Lou the egg?

[Mo]

Frost crocs, but like a crocodile and a tortoise.

[Rod Ryan]

No, the crocs you wear on your feet.

[Mo]

I hate you.

[Rod Ryan]

It's got a million views. A million one now after I just watched it this morning over and over. Good morning, Mo. What do you got for Houston's headlines?

[Mo]

So President Trump in the news, he said, quote, I love the inflation. He was asked if he was concerned by new government data showing May's annual inflation rate rate. That rate had hit 4.2%, which is the highest since April of 2023. And that's when he said, quote, no, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, it's going to come down like a rock. He then made a surprising disclosure saying the US has been, quote, taking out millions of barrels of oil from Iran in covert nighttime operations, which is interesting because gas is up 40.5%.

[Rod Ryan]

Didn't we get a ton of oil from Venezuela to too? Let's go, let's, let's get it in the mix here.

[Mo]

We're ready.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's bring down these oil prices.

[Mo]

Let us know what's going on.

[Rod Ryan]

Start using it or don't.

[Mo]

I don't know. Microsoft co founder Bill Gates was also in the headlines yesterday and is going to be today because he's calling his meeting with Jeffrey Epstein a, quote, grave error in judgment.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, he's had to answer the stockholders and he's had meetings and he's talked to all the higher ups at Microsoft.

[Mo]

He's apparently in some closed door testimony before the House Oversight Committee today where he will be facing questions about that relationship with Epstein. According to Gates, he never victimized anyone, nor did he ever witness or have any indication that Epstein was engaged in ongoing criminal conduct. Bill Gates wanted to use Epstein's relationships to recruit new donors. Chick Fil A in the news today. Once again, America's favorite chicken. Chicken chain. Chicken chain. YouGov does those polls and Chick fil a landed number one. KFC in second.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Popeyes took the third slot and then Raising Canes is in fourth.

[Rod Ryan]

Are people still Losing their minds over chicken sandwiches. Remember, there was like, a war going on. Who had the best one?

[Mo]

I can tell you, this is, in fact happening because yesterday they released their pimento cheese sandwich.

[Rod Ryan]

Who?

[Mo]

Chick Fil A.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

And my husband called me and said, hey, you need a pimento cheese sandwich. I was like, babe, whoa. They just came out today. Easy. He loves the chicken.

[Rod Ryan]

People were saying they loved Popeye sandwiches, those chicken sandwiches.

[Alex]

Right.

[Mo]

Third slot, Popeyes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

I think this character's name is Sabertooth. From X Men.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

It's spelled weird, so I questioned it. He has breast cancer. His real name is Tyler Maine. Gigantic guy who played Sabertooth in the original X Men movie. Michael Myers in the two Halloween movies. Right.

[Rod Ryan]

The ones made by Rob Zombie.

[Mo]

Okay. He's been diagnosed with breast cancer, started chemo earlier this week, and put out an Instagram video saying, 1 in 750 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. And I'm one of them. Because it's rarely talked about. It's usually found later stages, which obviously has worse outcomes. He said, I want to change that. So cheering for him, we got a

[Rod Ryan]

guy that listens to the show that, like, has his whole journey on Instagram about it too. Yeah. I mean, it's men's breast cancer.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It just sounds weird, you know, but it's. It happens.

[Mo]

MGK in the headlines again today. It was a stage dive gone wrong over the weekend that left him hurt. He's nursing a serious back injury. Somersaulted off a roof into a crowd. The crowd didn't catch him. Him was at an after party. He was DJing, launched himself off the roof. So didn't go.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, I've only jumped off a stage one time.

[Mo]

Tell us about it.

[Rod Ryan]

I made sure there was plenty of people there.

[Mo]

I think that's something you check.

[Rod Ryan]

And I'm like. And I even. I've been threatened with their lives. I go, don't you move. I'm gonna jump. But if you don't, you don't. You just. I mean, I'm coming. I'm telling you, I'm coming. Do not move. You gotta catch me.

[Alex]

But if you're like a rock star, like, mgk, like, you've probably done that, so you have the, like, false sense of security. Just like, if I jump out, they're going to get me. Like, where you or I or Mo would be like, I need to be 100% sure that somebody's there.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Like, he probably, like, they'll be there.

[Rod Ryan]

He'll think about it. Twice next time for sure.

[Mo]

Hey, those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. You're leading with the Astros.

[Alex]

Yeah, he lost to the Angels last night three to two. In extras. They're going to have a day off before they open up a weekend series with the Roy tomorrow night in Kansas City. In basketball, wow. The Knicks got by the Spurs 107 to 106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Knicks are up 31 in the series now. They trailed 29 points at one point in the game before pulling off the biggest comeback in NBA history. New York's OG Ananubi scored with 1.2 seconds left to give the Knicks the win. They're gonna play game five of that series on Saturday night. The Knicks can wrap it it up in soccer. World cup is starting today.

But the two games today are going to be Mexico playing South Africa to open things up at 2 o' clock and then at 9 tonight, Czechia is going to take on South Korea. You can watch both games on Fox and FS1.

[Rod Ryan]

We got a lot of World cup stuff for you on links and guests today. A couple of links and it's a really good thing to look at. Mo was talking about, about, you know, people visiting our country and like, okay, I've heard so much about ranch dressing. Let me try it. And then they lose their mind. It's pretty great. But all the matchups, the things that are going on here in Houston, these are really good links today that Chile has. Nice.

[Alex]

[Alex]

I just said you can just name another song.

[Rod Ryan]

I know they are most known for their cover of the song Blue Monday. This is the band orgy. Whoever walked into that band practice room and said, hey guys, I got an idea for us doing a song. We should cover Blue Monday. That guy was a genius. Biggest thing they ever did. And what they did to the song was great too though. Mo, do you have the voting pulled up?

[Mo]

I do.

[Rod Ryan]

Cover songs seem to do well. I'm a fan of COVID songs. I love them. I think it's so smart for a band to do it.

[Alex]

How does it feel to treat me like you do?

[Rod Ryan]

Is this song in first place?

[Mo]

It is. 56% of the votes.

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

Keep not calling them in on Blue Monday. Let's keep our man happy. Now. This is a one hit wonder. It's a great song and they still play to this day. The name of the band is the Refreshments. Got heavy airplay on mtv. The Refreshments with their one hit Bandidos. It's got such a cool sound to it. They were just a fun band. They were out there smiling.

[Alex]

No one know how or we bust

[Rod Ryan]

and never crack a smile or flinch or cry for nobody. It's just a party single song. People don't remember this song. It's in last place.

[Mo]

This is refreshments.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

15% of the votes.

[Rod Ryan]

Really good. Everybody knows the world is full of stupid people. You got, you got to listen to the lyrics of that song. All right?

[Alex]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

This is one of the greatest rock videos of all time. Monster Magnet was in a weird spot. The record label was saying, dude, nobody's. Nobody's connecting with what you're writing about. You're all weird and spacey and trippy and he just wasn't connecting. Acting. And Dave Windorf is a great songwriter. So he went to Las Vegas, locked himself in a Room and wrote an album, wrote a song a day for like 30 days. And he went for the video. I think they went and got the same guy that made the video for Mace.

[Alex]

Oh, really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. So it's a rap video around a hard rock song. It is the best. It's.

[Alex]

The real music video is Talladega Nights.

[Rod Ryan]

It's one of the, it's one of the great rock videos of all time.

[Alex]

Well, Talladega Nights, when he's learning how to drive.

[Rod Ryan]

No, when he's on. This is when he is actually on the course. And they do that camera angle that goes from the back of the car, back window into the car, out the front windshield and they show the car. That's the, that's the Talladega Night shot, which is. I still don't know to this day how they did that. That. Because it was pre AI.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

The other fun fact, this was the first video ever played on Total Request Live.

[Mo]

No way.

[Alex]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Carson Daly comes on. Nobody knows who he is. Hi, I'm Carson Daly. This is a new show called Total Request Live. Let's get rolling with our first video. And they chose this.

[Mo]

That is wild.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, right?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Do you know why?

[Rod Ryan]

Because the video is that great. The video is that great. They weren't the biggest band, but they wanted the world to see in prime time what the heck they did with this video. So this is what I voted for. It's in second place.

[Mo]

Second place.

[Alex]

Taylor Swift is trending. I think it's the third day in a row she's trended this week. Did you see her and the Heim girls were, were out at Madison Squirrel Garden. They had their custom tees.

[Rod Ryan]

Do you, do you, do you know what was on their tees? They were.

[Alex]

So they were all Nick themed?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Alex]

She had a shirt that said Stevie Nicks spelled K N I I C K S. The one Heim girl had Nickelback K N I C K like that Nick Cole Kidman was the other Heim sister.

[Rod Ryan]

She really likes those Heim sisters.

[Alex]

I'm rocks. I'm a big Heim fan too, but I didn't realize they were as close as they are.

[Rod Ryan]

But yeah, they're super friends.

[Alex]

Like I would think a Nick Lache or a Nickelodeon would have been nice.

[Mo]

So many potentials.

[Alex]

If Nicole Brown Simpson. Simpson.

[Rod Ryan]

If she's gonna have bridesmaids. Those, those Heim sisters will be up there for sure. If she chooses to have bridesmaids.

[Alex]

Selena Gomez, I think.

[Rod Ryan]

Yep.

[Alex]

And then I can't remember who the other one.

[Mo]

You would know. You're my Taylor Swift.

[Rod Ryan]

Is she tight with Radzikowski?

[Alex]

Well, the other day it was like. I think Selena Gomez is like confirmed as one of them.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh yeah.

[Alex]

Taylor Swift is trending. Nothing about the game, just Taylor Swift. Simone Biles is trending.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

How is she?

[Alex]

She, she's recovering at home after being hospitalized with what she called a near death experience. She's not really given any details say what it was. She says that she is going to give us details later. She's currently recovering. Her husband Jonathan Owens was at. At team activities so he was not home. She's okay and we don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

It's very vague.

[Alex]

Yeah, we don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

Is there complication? She just got new titties.

[Alex]

She vague booked maybe. I don't know. I would not. I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

She just got some procedures done.

[Alex]

We find out she posts a lot

[Mo]

of videos on a trampoline.

[Mo]

5.

[Rod Ryan]

Now in complete control. The bus. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. It's Lincoln Park. That new divine just answered an email here to one of our cool Karens. She was asking if I would think of putting a long sleeve T shirt in the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store. I said people won't buy it. I go, so it's 90 degrees, it's 100 degrees when people are going to be looking at that store. And even though, and I've tried before, I've tried to do it in the October store. I've tried to do a long sleeve shirt. And you know, you still around here in October, it's still 90 degrees. You know that it's going to at some point get cold around here. Yeah, but people won't buy one in July. They will not buy a long sleeve shirt. They just won't do it. I would sell it, you guys. And I, I'm not bagging on her. I just said I go, here's my thought process on this. I've tried to do long sleeve T shirts before, even in the fall. That's why you don't see me trying to like hawk a bunch of hoodies.

[Mo]

That's all. I want a sweatshirt. I wear sweatshirts every day. I wear right now.

[Rod Ryan]

You do?

[Mo]

I have 35 sweatshirts on my chair in the studio.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, you look like a Sherpa. Like, like it looks like you're carrying sweatshirts for other people.

[Mo]

Yes. And give me another one.

[Rod Ryan]

So I told her, I said, I appreciate because everybody's been sending in, you know, suggestions, hey, what about this in the store? And I don't take it personally. Usually I get back to you, I say, here's why I don't do that. But I've gotten a couple of really cool suggestions and I'm taking some things into consideration. But my reasoning for the long sleeve T shirt is this is a summer program and people are buying, buying something that they want to wear right now. And very few people buy something and then just look at it and wait until November.

[Alex]

To.

[Rod Ryan]

To wear it. So I don't know. I. I've. I've sold hoodies in the past. I'm not saying that I won't, but you guys got to let me know what you want, and we'll get it in the store. Let's go over to the phones here. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. How's it going? Good, man. Who's this? This is Jay Morrison. Jay, Your caller number 10, Jay. Yeah, my guy, Jay, Hook him up, please.

[Mo]

Jay, you want to go to Fly Leaf?

[Rod Ryan]

I absolutely do want to go. One of my favorite Christian bands right now.

[Mo]

July 25th, Bayou Music Center. Jay, you will be there.

[Rod Ryan]

Awesome. But, yeah, thank you, guys. Where you. Where you from, Jay? Originally, I'm from California. Okay, and then you live where now? I'm out here in Houston. That's awesome. Good to have you, Jay. I'm glad. I'm glad you're in the fold. I'm glad you're in the family. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I listen you guys every morning. Thank you. Thank you, Jay. Hang on for me. That's Jay.

[Mo]

Gladys here.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm so glad he's here. I really am. Jay, go check out the Rob Ryan show. Cares I online store run around with our stuff. Me on the radio. Not bagging on Gen Z. Me. I. I want credit for this. I want credit for this. And I want that son of a. To email me back saying, okay, Rod, thank you. Thank you for having our back. I want that one guy, one guy named. What's up with you guys? Sounding old crusty on the radio. Oh, my word. Picking on, you know, people my age. Not me. Bagging on Gen Z right now. This thing is so absurd that it's kind of going viral online. I got my boys back here. One of the more important things that you have to decide before having children. If I may just. Just throw down a little wiggle wisdom thrown down from the mountain.

[Mo]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

You and your partner have to be mature enough. You got to have your priorities in the right place. And this couple, they don't have their priorities in the right spot. Woman started complaining online that she and her boyfriend have been trying to have kids. He wants to delay the pregnancy until after going to an amusement park so they can still ride roller coasters together. Yes, dude.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. Delay.

[Mo]

That's not your time.

[Rod Ryan]

Delay. Not bagging on them. Delay, dude. Delay everything. You want to ride roller coasters? I bet you there's some other things you want to do. You sound. He sounds young. They are young. They're young. They're young. She says that, you know. Yeah, they've had some special moments years ago, and they felt it would be meaningful to go back. I don't know if their first date was on a roller coaster or something, but it's real important to him for them to go ride roller coasters. They're currently trying to get pregnant, and he's like, can we put a hold on this? And let's go. Let's go ride some coasters together. Yes, do it. Stop everything that you're doing in the bedroom and go ride roller coasters. And do some other things, too, while you're at it. Okay?

[Mo]

Vacation. Eat dinner with two hands. Use the bathroom in peace.

[Rod Ryan]

This is a great conversation. This is an awesome conversation. It's absurd, the roller coaster aspect of it. You're probably thinking, this is prime Rod's gonna lay into these kids. No, I'm not.

[Mo]

They're being responsible.

[Rod Ryan]

I am not.

[Mo]

They are.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so. There's no pausing to have fun once that baby's here. Okay.

[Mo]

You might get back to riding roller coasters.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

It's gonna be different.

[Rod Ryan]

If you got Grandma or Meemaw or Peaw to watch that kid, then you can get back on some roller coasters. But right now, you can pause for all the fun in the world. You can pause to do everything whenever you want. Those kids show up. Pauses are a little tougher now, huh, Alex? Yeah, pauses are a little tougher.

[Alex]

Yeah, they are. We ride a lot of roller coasters.

[Rod Ryan]

I love Gen Z. I'm looking out for you.

[Mo]

They're so lucky to have you.

[Rod Ryan]

Go ride the coasters, ride the coast, ride them all. Do a tour of every amusement park in America while you can, because once that kid's here, that's it. You die. Done. You're done. Okay. You'll be lucky to get on a carousel.

[Mo]

The Rod Ryan show, mornings on 94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the Buzz. All right, Here we go. 94. 5 the buzz. That's third night blind and jumper. This is your throwback Thursday Rod Ryan show, asking you to vote all morning long along. If you're wondering why I'm not beating you up too hard on the the word suggestions, I'm ready to go.

[Mo]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. I don't know what it is, you guys.

[Mo]

Phase of the moon today.

[Rod Ryan]

Awesome. Just the words that came in, I think, were all great. And I'm always extra careful because Alex is playing. I don't want stuff thrown at me. Yeah, you guys did a great I. What I'm saying before the Game starts. You're doing a great job. I was sending me these words, but I, you know, I'm not done done. I, I will always put in the latest and greatest. So if you want to send me some word suggestions for Read My lips, you can email me directly rod@the buzz.com. how we looking on Throwback Thursday? Anything moving around?

[Mo]

There's some movement.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Yeah. Which one was yours?

[Rod Ryan]

Month? I, I, I talked about Monster Magnet.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And that's when I told you the story about Total Request Live. That was the first song.

[Mo]

People like that story.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a great song.

[Mo]

That song's currently in first place.

[Rod Ryan]

No kidding.

[Mo]

It's a pretty, pretty slim margin.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Orgies in second, refreshments there in third.

[Rod Ryan]

King of the Hill couldn't save it. They did the theme song to King of the Hill too. So they're not a one hit wonder. They got a, they got a hit TV show theme song and then that song, which is great. I do love all three songs in there today. Yeah. The world famous Rod Ryan show blog page. Lots of stuff about the World Cup. The Looking at girls blog page is really good today. Today's thickstagram Thursday for the Instagram feature food blog page today. Did you guys see? I, I was misled as well. Did you see the extra tall boy? The super tall boy? I don't know what they're specifically calling it, but it's a Coors Light.

[Alex]

I didn't see that.

[Rod Ryan]

So it's a tall boy.

[Alex]

Taller boy, I think.

[Rod Ryan]

Taller boy. Thank you.

[Mo]

Stop.

[Rod Ryan]

And it's like it's the same size of three tall boys. And I thought it was just like this massive can, which I'm like, okay, the novelty of it is cool. It's going to get warm. That's my, you know, criticism of big beers. And it's, it's a koozie. It holds, it's a sleeve that holds three Coors lights cans and it's cans and it looks like one big, huge tall can.

[Mo]

That's funny.

[Rod Ryan]

Which makes sense. It would have been cool had they put out one super tall can, though. And it's like you're walking around like an idiot trying to drink this thing. But that's on the food blog page today. So there's a lot to look at.

[Alex]

The Rod ryan Morning Show, 6 to

[Rod Ryan]

10am, the Buzz 94 5. The Buzz Rod Ryan Show. Hey, it's Throwback Thursday. Thank you for the voting that's going on right now. Now we got some good votes coming in too. I mean, Just a good amount of votes. Votes coming in. I'll be happy with any of the three songs that win today. You vote on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog [e-mail] okay. Well, apparently I sent the, the message that I didn't need you to send me any more words. Nobody's sending me word suggestions anymore. You kind of said that for Read My Lips. I did say I, I, I had great ones ready to go. But I'm always willing and looking for more great words. I'm always trying to use the best words possible. If you got a great idea, idea for something for me to use today during the Read My Lips game, you can email me [e-mail] But I, I feel pretty confident that I'm ready to roll. Mo takes on Alex today. I see nothing above a 10 chance of rain, which could mean 80 chance of rain. The guy on the radio yesterday said, oh, it looks like we don't have to really worry about rain. I go outside and I had like a trip that I had to make and do some work outside for the entire 20 minutes it was pouring and Alex said, pouring. I go level two on the windshield wipers, not level one where it just goes every now and then.

[Mo]

Raining on your parade.

[Rod Ryan]

Level 2. So 10% chance of rain, partly cloudy, high of 91. You take that for whatever you think it means. I got MO with Houston's headlines, though. What you got?

[Mo]

Thank you. Thank you. President Trump says, quote, I love the inflation. He was asked if he was concerned by new government data showing May's annual inflation rate because it had hit 4.2%. That number is the highest since April of 2023. And that's when Trump said, quote, no, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, it's going to come down like a rock. He then made a surprising disclosure saying the US has been taking out millions of barrels of oil from Iran in covert nighttime operations. And then we see that Gasoline is up 40.5% year over year.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's get those barrels. Let's get those barrels into. Yeah, whatever you need to do to

[Mo]

turn it into gas, we want that.

[Rod Ryan]

Here's me not knowing what I'm talking about.

[Mo]

No idea.

[Rod Ryan]

Just get. We got oil. Yes, we have this surplus of oil coming in. When do we benefit?

[Mo]

Give it to us. Houston city council voted 15 to 1 yesterday to pass the city's $7.5 billion budget for the coming year. Protests sparked inside city Hall. They were criticizing that new $5 monthly trash fee that is soon going to appear on your water bill. Rod Ryan.

[Rod Ryan]

We knew that that was going to get passed.

[Mo]

15 to 1 is pretty. Pretty much. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, crank up Rod's water bill a little bit. Pass it.

[Mo]

Takes effect July 1. You shouldn't see it on your tr. On your bill until August, it looks like. So start seeing saving.

[Rod Ryan]

I know what's in that water that they're sending to my house. It's. It's like double what everybody's water bill is per. Is that what it is? So are they sending me, like, mountain spring water?

[Mo]

Mine's because I. It's owned by a private company, though. Yours should not be insane. World cup countdown billboard outside our office has expired. Things officially kick off today.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, what are you talking about? You mentioned that earlier.

[Mo]

Billboard right out here. You don't see it every morning when we drive in. In.

[Rod Ryan]

Do I come in the same way as you?

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Do I?

[Mo]

Well, I mean, you make a U turn on the road that I. It's like the feeder road. Big World cup countdown.

[Rod Ryan]

So it's. It's here, it's here, it's here.

[Mo]

Visitors in America for the World cup are getting their first taste of the usa, and I am loving it.

[Rod Ryan]

Now, I'm not mad because I'm an Ella fella, but why are you playing Ella Langley for the World Cup?

[Mo]

Well, there's a German guy named Freddy that's been tweeting about his experiences here in the USA for the first time. And he said he discovered this song, and he said Ella Langley on the radio has been the soundtrack of our trip.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a banger.

[Mo]

I mean, this is what he thinks of America. He also went to Bucky's, which cracked me up.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, the discovery of American things from visitors is really fun.

[Mo]

His Waffle House. He's the one that went to Waffle House at 1am and gave it a 10 out of 10.

[Rod Ryan]

The person that lost her mind over

[Mo]

ranch dressing, that lady Elsa. Is her name Swedish? She also saw Amish people in real life for the first time, and that blew her mind. Okay, so those are funny. Let's talk about Tim Allen, because he walked the red carpet for this week's Toy Story 5 premiere, and he was asked about the rumored Home Improvement revival.

[Rod Ryan]

That show would crush if it came back.

[Mo]

Nostalgia. It sells. He said. He has the concept nailed down. He wants it to be about his TV kids, kids having kids. And his character would be the grandpa

[Rod Ryan]

I know they tried to bring up, like, back Buffy, and then they brought back Malcolm in the Middle. This show was way bigger than all of that.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Any of the stuff that's come back. This show was huge. It wasn't my favorite.

[Alex]

It just.

[Mo]

My dad watched it and then. So we watched it.

[Rod Ryan]

It was huge. Yeah, but the kids are all jacked. The kids are messed up.

[Mo]

Well, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the super hot one, and Taran Noah Smith, they don't act anymore. And then the Zachary Ty Bryan character, he's currently in jail.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah, he's behind bars. Yeah.

[Mo]

Tim said there's some personality problems right now with the boys. They've got their own issues. So it's a little challenging right now, to put it mildly.

[Rod Ryan]

Tim doesn't need the money. Those kids. Jonathan is probably set to.

[Mo]

You think?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know what. I don't know what kind of deals those sons got.

[Mo]

Teen Bop Magazine, Blood them some jtt. Oh, and he did Lion King.

[Rod Ryan]

He got Lion King money. Yeah. So he said the kid in jail could use this the most, I'm sure. And he's the one that's probably halting the whole thing.

[Mo]

Jail. Yeah, we'll keep. We'll keep you updated. I also saw the trailer for the new Green Day road trip movie called

[Rod Ryan]

They're Gonna Make It Fun.

[Mo]

It looks funny. It's a comedy. Follows three teenagers who travel to LA under the false belief that their little band is opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve. So besides the guys at Green Day, they do have kind of a stacked cast. It hits theaters August 14th. And those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Go ahead, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros lost to the Angels 3 to 2 in extras last night. They're gonna have a day off now before they open up a weekend series with the Royals tomorrow night in Kansas City. In basketball, the Knicks got by the Spurs 107 and 106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. They're up 31 now. They trailed by 29 points at one point, point in time before pulling off the biggest comeback in NBA history. They're gonna play game five of the series tomorrow or Saturday night. Excuse me. The World cup starts today. Team USA is going to play their first game tomorrow night against Paraguay. The two games on the schedule today at 2 o', clock, Mexico is going to kick things off against South Africa. And then at 9, Czechia takes on South Korea.

[Rod Ryan]

That billboard says zero days until the World Cup. Have you seen the billboard? I. I have. Thank you. You.

[Mo]

I'm thinking now that I'm like actually thinking, I'm thinking it's a little bit farther down from where you, you turn.

[Rod Ryan]

There's no way I drive past it. There's no way.

[Mo]

Huge countdown.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't see a countdown.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex]

Yeah. And then you watch both of the games today on Fox and FS1. And in hockey, the Hurricanes and Golden Knights are going to play Game 5 of the Stanley cup final tonight. Series is tied up at two games a piece that'll start at seven. You can watch it on abc. That is what's going on in sports.

Just wanted to confirm that you received the donuts. Yeah, I think she works for Shipley. Yeah. And there is a, I think it's like the 40 Shipley Donut locations in the Houston area. And I think Dallas might be in on this a little bit. Limited edition soccer themed donut boxes inspired by the, the World cup that's going on. So they're. Yeah, there's soccer ball donuts.

[Mo]

Where are they?

[Rod Ryan]

They went to the other building. I just saw Charlie who works here. I saw, I, I just came out of a lobby area and Charlie was walking to a donut. He's like, yeah, these got delivered to the other building but they're, they're for you guys. So they're putting them out right now. We got. He got him somehow. Char. Charlie makes it happen.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, super low.

[Mo]

Yeah, it is low.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait a minute. These are three bangers. Super low voting, guys.

[Mo]

Now you know.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, Orgy's in the lead.

[Mo]

Barely.

[Rod Ryan]

That's Alex's song that gets him out there dancing.

[Alex]

It is not my song.

[Mo]

I don't think I've ever seen you dance before.

[Alex]

I did not vote for it.

[Rod Ryan]

You didn't vote for Orgy Blue Monday. What'd you vote for?

[Alex]

Voted for Tydeganites. Which ones?

[Mo]

What's that?

[Rod Ryan]

I thought that was a movie. Monster Magnet.

[Mo]

Oh, really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. The song from the.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Mo]

Is it from the movie?

[Rod Ryan]

It's Space Lord by Monster Magnet featured in the movie Talladega Knights.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

You voted for that one.

[Alex]

Yeah, I did.

[Rod Ryan]

Holy crap.

[Alex]

It's because you.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you like the TRL story?

[Alex]

I did like that, but also, you were pushing really hard at me voting for Orgy, so I said no.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah. He does the opposite.

[Mo]

The opposite of what God the Authority says.

[Rod Ryan]

But his mom says he's precious. He is precious in every.

[Mo]

Monster Magnet is in second place.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, the song featured in the Tal Dag a Night song soundtrack.

[Mo]

No. Now that we know that and that

[Rod Ryan]

King of the Hill story didn't help the Bandidos at all or the refreshments with their song Bandidos. I did that when that song was a popular song. I would almost half the time. Here's the Bandidos with refreshments. Oh, wait a minute. It's the refreshments with the song Banditos.

[Mo]

They could have sounds like a me mistake.

[Rod Ryan]

It would have been cool if they called the band Banditos, you know, Bandidos. Hi. Well, that's in third place. Winning song played. It's low votes right now, though. Winning song played at 9:30 today. Coming up, it's time to read my lips. I got Mo taking on Alex today, and he's spicy, so just know that going into the game. He's a little spicy today. Who's the returning champion? Mo, you played Chili last week.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Right. So you're the returning champ. Interesting, interesting. Great prize. The Republic Grill gave me these $100 gift cards to pass along to you. I was hoping there's gonna be an extra one in that envelope. Damn it. Five. One for each day. One for each day for you guys. Okay. I'm not even gonna steal one. So that'll be what you're playing for. I'll get you guys calling in after the break. Read my lips. Coming up, Houston's rock.

[Alex]

Houston's alternative and home of the Rod Ryan Morning.

[Mo]

Show 94. 5 the Buzz 94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the Buzz. Welcome back. Rod Ryan Show 823 Throwback Thursday. Yes. Voting continues on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog [e-mail] it's right there next to the Rod Ryan show care store. What up? Yeah, Lots of stuff to look at. Alex, what's trending?

[Alex]

Well, there is a lot of World cup stuff you can look at at our website as well. Yeah, that starts today. Mexico and South Africa are going to kick things off at 2 o' clock and then Czechia and South Korea play tonight at 9. USA is going to take on Paraguay tomorrow. But everybody's got World cup fever. Or the people that do have it happen.

[Rod Ryan]

Everybody. I'm burning them.

[Alex]

There we go then. Coors taller boy is trending. We were talking about this a little bit earlier today, but they announced a new release piece. Everybody was like, oh, what is an 18 inch tall boy can?

[Rod Ryan]

I was slightly disappointed thinking that it was also a large.

[Alex]

Looks like it. The picture that it was circulating, it is not an actual 18 inch can. It is a container that you can fit three coarse light cans into. So you could just kind of. Yeah, it's a sleeve so you can finish one put at the bottom and you got three before you have to go back to the cooler.

[Rod Ryan]

It's headlining the the food blog page today. So I think it's an insulated sleeve. It'll keep your cans cooler. You know, it's three cans lined just like the. There you go. Yeah, lined.

[Alex]

And then Heim is trending. People are learning who Haim is today. The we're hanging out with Taylor Swift. So naturally, if you're a Taylor Swift fan that doesn't know who Haim is, you're like, who are these girls she's hanging out with? And I'm sure that they're going to see an update in their streams and downloads as well. I'm rocks though.

[Rod Ryan]

So it's a three sister band.

[Mo]

Oh, is it?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. And then they act.

[Alex]

They're pretty funny. Their social. Their social stuff is always pretty funny too.

[Rod Ryan]

They're funny. Yeah, I agree with you. And I saw the one girl act in a movie. It was good.

[Alex]

Yeah, they're very, very interesting people. But hi, I'm is training. That's his tringer knife or five the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

There's that music. That means we're ready to play a game here. Mo, you ready?

[Mo]

So ready.

[Rod Ryan]

I know Alex is ready. It's time to read my lips. I got a 100 gift card to the Republic Grill going to the winner today. Choose wisely. Who's gonna win this matchup? Mo or Alex? I don't know.

[Alex]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

That's why we play the game. 713-212-5945. You call in now. Pick your champion.

[Mo]

The Rod ryan show on 94.5 the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show, Beastie Boys. Now, it's in a bit of a good mood going into this game.

[Mo]

Weird. I don't know how to feel.

[Rod Ryan]

He likes him some Beastie Boys and then I. I just assume that you knew this, Alex, but Mike D just announced that he's got a date debut solo album coming out. Thank you is the name of the album. It's scheduled for release on October 20th or August 28th. I don't know if it'll be anything that we would play here. This is what Mike D's doing. Back to producer. This okay? Yeah, sounds like that something similar back beat.

[Mo]

Sure.

[Rod Ryan]

He's doing his own production. It's called Switch up. And it's a big deal for Mike D to put out a solo album. Sounds like the progressive song. It's a dog park. My kid loves that. Good morning, everybody. All right, let's go, let's go. Hey, Chili, what's up? Easy breezy morning for you. Don't gotta play Read my lips. I'd rather play. Thank you. Oh, you'd rather play sometimes. Okay. I didn't know that. That's good. It's less stressful keeping the time if we're overtime. Well, yeah, the last time you kept time, it was a nanosecond. I remember it. Yeah, that's why it's stressful, man. It is stressful. I. I didn't even know what a nanosecond was. I. I used to be the timekeeper in this game. It was the worst job ever. You need to go back. You need to go back to it. No, you do it. You're doing a great job. Jacob, good morning. Good morning, brother Rod. Who's playing for you today? Mo is playing for me this morning. Mo for a $100 gift card to the Republic Grill.

[Alex]

Oh, I'm so excited.

[Mo]

Oh, cornbread.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my God. The food there is amazing.

[Alex]

Mo, if you don't win, I'm gonna

[Rod Ryan]

cry through the cornbread.

[Alex]

Oh, there you go.

[Mo]

Yeah, that's a lot of extra pressure.

[Rod Ryan]

He's gonna starve to death.

Good morning.

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Somebody will starve to death.

[Mo]

Don't want to eat.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so just think of that when you're playing your game today. Mo, you're the returning champion.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Who's going first?

[Mo]

Right here. I'm going first.

[Rod Ryan]

Don't say it like we know.

[Mo]

I'd like to go first.

[Rod Ryan]

You've been mixing it up a little bit.

[Mo]

I know. Everyone has an opinion, all right?

[Rod Ryan]

They all stink.

[Mo]

Except for. Except for our own, right?

[Rod Ryan]

See me shuffling, Alex.

[Mo]

Every day, I'm shuffling.

[Rod Ryan]

See me shuffling? Vaguely. Yeah, vaguely. All I hear is paper moving, but

[Alex]

I don't know what's moving.

[Rod Ryan]

Shuffling, shuffling. I don't care who gets. She's doing the Vegas casino shuffles. You know, you. Yeah. Listen, great words suggested today. Great words. Mo is. That's what you're listening to?

[Mo]

Oh, you can hear that?

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, we. We need you to put those on

[Alex]

so we can start the game so

[Mo]

loud, which is why that's the point of the game. All right, I'm going in.

[Rod Ryan]

Mo is putting in the headphones. She will not be able to hear my voice. But she's already texting, saying, we're late. What? No, we're not. Yes, we are. Damn it. Yes, we are, Wizard.

[Alex]

You can't talk to us from outside the country. But.

All right, this is for Jacob, who is on team Mo. Mo can't hear me anymore. Here comes the words. Chili. 20 seconds. Let's rock. All right, here we go. Thumbs up.

[Alex]

Oh, my gosh.

[Rod Ryan]

I can already feel a stomach bubbling over here. Okay, Jacob said he's starving. I'm sure metal mouth would have been easier, but Tin Grin.

[Mo]

Oh, no, that was not grin.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, I like Titty Creek, though.

[Alex]

Oh, obviously not that I was raised there.

[Rod Ryan]

Next time, send in something with titty in it. Yeah, I would drown there. All right, here we go.

Yeah. Take your ten grand.

[Alex]

I'm eating a donut right now, like that's like two on the nose.

[Rod Ryan]

I shuffled them. You could have been eating a donut right now. Cream filling at the td. And these donuts don't have cream filling in them.

[Mo]

They don't.

[Alex]

Yeah, but we talked about cream.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Where they at?

[Mo]

In my mouth.

[Rod Ryan]

He hasn't even gotten his words yet. He's complaining. I didn't want words getting them. Three of them. Maybe Jen's gonna starve to death. All right, Jacob's got one. Eli sent this word in.

[Alex]

[Mo]

What did he say?

[Rod Ryan]

I mean. Well, he just knows that the show is in the gutter.

[Mo]

Oh.

[Rod Ryan]

And it was. Will continue in the gutter. CC Top wrote a song about it. It's been 22 years in the gutter. Why would we get out of there now? All right. Nut necklace. That really wasn't dirty. It was the buckeye necklace that I took a picture with when you were

[Mo]

in Ohio last week.

[Rod Ryan]

I said it was a nut necklace. The buckeye is a nut, right? Or a seed. I don't know what it is. I know, but the buckeye plant looks like a weed plant.

[Mo]

Does it to me.

[Rod Ryan]

It does.

[Mo]

I don't know the weed plan.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't live in that space, Chili. I don't know either. I live for 11 years in the hip hop station. I did. And I agree with Chili. Michelle. Michelle sent this in. She's been listening all week. Thank you, Michelle. Thumbs up.

Queen Elizabeth. No, it wasn't Queen Elizabeth. It was some. It was. It was Queen. It was like Queen Elizabeth the First. He had a funny name, too.

[Alex]

Sorry. I'm not a pervert. I wasn't thinking of that.

[Mo]

What do you think it is?

I'm just curious.

[Alex]

The.

[Rod Ryan]

It's lower votes. I'm so excited about all three of these songs today.

[Mo]

Or is currently in first place with 40% of the vote.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow. Monster magnet at second.

[Mo]

34%.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Within 6%. That striking distance. That could easily switch by 9:30 today. Bandidos or the refreshments with their song Bandidos. I did it the whole time. That was a current song. That's exactly how I sounded in the 90s screwing up the intro of that song. The refreshments with their song Bandidos. They probably are not gonna come away with a win today, but we got a pretty good horse race here with these two songs. If you haven't voted yet, hit us up on the world famous Rod ryan show page. Thebuzz.com 10% Chance of rain, partly cloudy, high of 91 mo one final time Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

You got it, friend. So President Trump Trump says, quote, I love the inflation. He was asked if he was concerned by new government data showing May's inflation rate. It had hit 4.2%, which is the highest since April of 2023. And that's when he said, quote, no, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, it's going to come down like a rock. Well, then this morning he tweeted, the United States will be hitting Iran very hard tonight. We'll see what that means. Microsoft co founder Bill Gates was in the headlines yesterday after calling his meeting with Jeffrey Epstein a quote, grave error in judgment.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, that didn't age well.

[Mo]

Those pictures, the two of them together. Gates is appearing for closed door testimony before the House Oversight Committee today where he's going to face questions about his relationship with Epstein. Yeah, he also admitted to continuing to contact Epstein after Epstein's conviction and said that was the grave mistake.

[Rod Ryan]

Do we all assume that all these high powered people that met with Epstein after your meeting, you just all went to the room for some tuggies?

[Alex]

I think that's how he got you, right? I think like he locks you in

[Rod Ryan]

and then he's got you got tuggies. And then, and now I got this on you.

[Mo]

He doesn't even like, get to know you first. Like he just like, just assumed that you were down, I think so.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what I think. I'm not. It's terrible.

[Mo]

I don't know. You've met someone for the first time lots of times and you get like a feeling from them. He seems like a guy that gave up a icky feeling, but people met with him repeatedly because he was powerful.

[Alex]

If you also gave off that icky feeling, you probably wouldn't feel icky meeting the other icky.

[Mo]

Okay. Icky on icky.

[Rod Ryan]

I get it. Yeah. Maybe you don't recommend recognize it when you're also a creepo.

[Mo]

Interesting. Chick Fil A once again, America's favorite chicken chain. YouGov's latest poll shows the eatery lands on top. KFC in second. Popeyes taking a third slot. Raising Canes in fourth. Thank you for all the emails. Everyone is down for Chick Fil A's pimento cheese sandwich out today.

[Rod Ryan]

Yesterday I hadn't had Chick Fil a in a long time. Yeah, London had a little thing at the hospital this week outside of the orthodontist. And there was a Chick Fil a in the Texas Children's.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

So I got a Chicken sandwich. And outstanding.

[Mo]

Classic. Yeah. Never. Never lets me down now.

[Rod Ryan]

I had nowhere to go, so I stood in line. There's 100 people in front of me.

[Mo]

Okay?

[Rod Ryan]

When I see those cars and I know that you guys tell me that it moves quick so fast, I'm still not getting in that line to go

[Mo]

get one faster than any other line.

[Rod Ryan]

I. I'm just not. I see them going out and spilling into the street, and there's no line that moves quick enough.

[Mo]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Rod Ryan]

But it was a delicious sandwich. Oh, my God, it was so good.

[Mo]

Sabretooth from X Men has breast cancer. His name is Tyler Maine, and the actor is a gigantic guy who not only played Sabretooth in the original X Men, he was Michael Myers in the two Rob Zombie Halloween movies. Movies.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, we saw it.

[Mo]

We.

[Rod Ryan]

We saw. You're right. He's a big dude.

[Alex]

Huge.

[Rod Ryan]

Eli Friend on Friend off Eli. He goes to all these cons, and he sent a picture in with him. He must have met him. He did meet him at one of these shows. And, yeah, he's a large man.

[Mo]

Tyler said, because this is rarely talked about, it's usually found later stages and has worse outcomes. So he wants to change that. One in 750 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. MGK in the headlines again today. Today, it's for a stage dive gone wrong over the weekend.

[Rod Ryan]

Is it me, or do you talk about MGK every day?

[Mo]

It does seem that way, doesn't it?

[Rod Ryan]

It's like he's your jelly roll, you know?

[Alex]

Except, like, way better.

[Rod Ryan]

People love. Like, there's a jelly roll story. We could do a jelly roll story still every day.

[Alex]

But, like, he actually is. Like, it's like MGK injured himself stage diving. Not like MGK wants to go in a hot air balloon. Try beef jerk. Been thinking about learning how to swim.

[Mo]

Like, that's what Jelly can't walk right now.

[Rod Ryan]

He got hurt?

[Mo]

Yeah. He's nursing serious back injuries. He somersaulted off a roof into a crowd during an after party. He was in Connecticut on Saturday. Finished his concert, went to DJ at this restaurant for an after party, launched himself off the roof. No one caught him.

[Rod Ryan]

I would, too, if Megan Fox wasn't taking my calls.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Ouch.

[Mo]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Not that Megan Fox takes my calls, but. But I also don't call her. So

[Alex]

what you got? The Astros lost the Angels 3 to 2 in extra innings. They are now 31 and 39 on the season. They're gonna Have a day off before opening up a weekend series with the Royals tomorrow night in Kansas City. In basketball, the Knicks got by the Spurs 107 to 106 in Game 4, the NBA Finals. The Knicks are now up three games to one. They trailed by 29 points at one point in the game before pulling off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. OG Ananubi scored the game winner with 1.2 seconds left.

[Rod Ryan]

The tip in was crazy.

[Alex]

And it was a three that missed. And then he just, he was ready to go in the basket, ready to dip it in in case.

[Rod Ryan]

But you said like Larry David, seeing Jerry Seinfeld, seeing Spike Lee, seeing all these people absolutely lose their minds.

[Mo]

It was amazing.

[Alex]

Yeah, it was, it was coolo.

[Rod Ryan]

And then you think, okay, everybody's in that front row. There's celebrities four deep.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

In at these games in New York

[Alex]

now like the A list ones that can afford the million dollar court side seats are there. And then the other ones that could probably still afford it. But like what if we just spent 17 grand on these fourth row seats?

[Rod Ryan]

Unbelievable. The, the celebrities, it was pretty cool. But the reaction, I mean cuz is that.

[Alex]

And then they take to the streets in New York when they win games like this and like it's just been going non stop.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, it probably, they're probably still partying.

[Alex]

Yeah, I told you that. The first thing I saw this morning was them chanting a UPS driver driving by Madison. In soccer, the World cup starts today. Team USA doesn't play until tomorrow night though. There the two games on the schedule for today at 2 o'.

[Rod Ryan]

Clock.

[Alex]

Opening things up, it's gonna be Mexico taking on South Africa. And then at 9 tonight, Checky takes on South Korea. You can watch both games on Fox and FS1. I'm kind of ready to go back to Czech Republic. I don't like Czechia.

[Rod Ryan]

Czechia sounds weird.

[Mo]

Yeah, every time you say it, I get caught.

[Rod Ryan]

Sounds like a nickname.

[Alex]

I know we're trying to change it. Yeah, I get it. But like Czech Republic is what I was. It's Pluto to me.

[Rod Ryan]

Mo is so excited she ate a soccer donut today.

[Mo]

I did.

[Rod Ryan]

That's how excited.

[Alex]

Nice. Hurricanes and Golden Knights are Gonna play Game 5 of the Stanley cup final tonight in North Carolina. That series is tied up at two games a piece. That'll start at seven and you can watch it all on abc. That is what's going on in sports, rock and alternative for Houston.

[Mo]

[Rod Ryan]

Calling all sightseers and selfie takers, welcome to Texas where a day at our hiking trails will lead to a lifetime

[Alex]

of memories

[Rod Ryan]

and family road trips beyond become family legends where thrill seekers make

[Alex]

a splash into spring fed pools and picky eaters will clean their plates.

[Rod Ryan]

This is your invitation to visit Texas and see it for yourself. Visit traveltexas.com and plan your family's trip today. Let's Texas 94. 5 the Buzz Good Morning Rod Ryan Show. Welcome to the Nine Spot, our first fourth and final hour together. Mo is sitting on Buzz Oeen tickets. That's three days Grace and I prevail. October 25th. She'll give you those on Mow the Show. We'll ask you a question about something that was said today on the program. We don't know what it's gonna be. It's gotta wait. You gotta tune in for that. So that's your next opportunity to get in on some great tickets. I wanted to absolutely thank everybody. So many of you got into the Rod Ryan show care bears online store yesterday. Clearly you, you wanted to drain my bank account. So I, I matched. I, I put up $10,000 thinking okay, maybe you guys will spend five or six thousand. You guys spent $21,000 in the store yesterday.

[Mo]

Crushed it.

[Rod Ryan]

Give that a bell.

[Mo]

It's amazing. So insane.

[Rod Ryan]

$21,000. A bunch of people just wanted to donate backpacks. It's. If you haven't looked at all the designs yet in the Rod Ryan show cares online store because I know not everybody got in there yesterday, but the number one selling T shirt is the 713, the green T shirt. It's green now. It's loosely based on the 711 logo. So I went with the green T shirt. Yeah, by far and away, that was the number one selling shirt. The one that Alex bought. Bought the buzz smiley face shirt. Looks like a band we play here. That was the number two selling shirt. The microphone with like the sound waves behind it but it's in red, white and blue colors. That was number three. And number four was the vintage star, which is a soft touch touch T shirt. Those were all like all within striking distance of each other, but that was the order. And what sold the most, the take me back to Houston shirt.

[Mo]

Is that the astronaut?

[Rod Ryan]

That's the one with the astronaut on it. I don't even think it's close. That's my favorite shirt.

[Mo]

That's the one I bought.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not like I sat there and designed it. I mean, you know, I, I came up with all of this stuff and then I worked with my friends over at BMP to get all the. The final things down for it. But that I thought when I looked at everything, I said, this is going to be the best seller by far. There's four other shirts that are selling better than that.

[Mo]

Isn't that funny?

[Rod Ryan]

So as I sit here and tell you, oh, I've been a T shirt salesman for the last, you know, 18 years. I still don't know what I'm doing. I have no idea what you guys will like, what will hit. I think I do. I don't. I clearly don't. The take me back is I think, think it's the coolest shirt that we have in there. You did a great job. You sold or you guys purchased 19 caps yesterday. You know, I bought 72 of those. Like I'm in the hole on caps right now. I am in. I'm working. I'm operating at a deficit on caps. I think I had to buy 70 of those damn water bottles too. I sold. You guys bought 18 of those yesterday.

[Mo]

We got some more selling to do. That's why you're saying for me to

[Rod Ryan]

make these prices manageable, you gotta. I have to buy in bulk. So that's where the 72 caps. And it's around 60, 70 water bottles that I. That I had to pay for. You gotta buy it. And then I back out the money. If I get stuck with them, then that's it. I don't make money on that stuff. Why am I trying to make money for my kids? Braces? No, I'll pay for. For those. You guys don't have to pay for that. I'm asking for help to buy backpacks for kids. That's where I'm asking for money right now. So we're gonna buy backpacks full of school supplies. They're so expensive. That's it. I don't want to. I sound like I'm complaining all the time. Everything's more expensive.

[Mo]

Everything.

[Rod Ryan]

God, like world. What are you putting. Putting in there? Rod beef. That's what it feels like. It feels like. I mean, you've seen the beef fries. It feels. It feels like these.

[Mo]

It.

[Rod Ryan]

It what they're charging me for backpacks now. You would think they were full of butter, eggs, beef and gas. Okay, that's what it feels like. It's just all the supplies cost more. So that's where I need your help. I need you to get into the

[Mo]

store more people need them.

[Rod Ryan]

If you can donate, we need help. Boom. It used to be because I still have the donation as $20 increments. And I thought that was really easy for people. You drop 20 bucks in there, there's a backpack full of school supplies. Well, once upon a time, that really was the price of them. Yeah, that, that's not the price of a backpack any longer. They're over $30 full of school supplies. These aren't fancy backpacks. We don't put our name on them. I don't want kids. I don't want somebody to see a kid with a backpack going, oh, that's one of those free ones. I just get backpacks that look, that blend in with everyone.

[Alex]

Really thoughtful.

[Rod Ryan]

You know, we could put our name on there and run around all these kids running around with our Rod Ryan show backpacks. We don't do that. I want the kids to fit in. Some of them are clear because that's what that age requires. So we have different age level backpacks that we do all that stuff on our end when we're doing the distribution. But we order elementary school, middle school, and high school. Right. Or something like that.

[Mo]

There's even some pre K. K. Oh,

[Rod Ryan]

it's pre K, grade school and then older kids. So there's three different levels of backpacks that we, that we give out. All on your generosity, guys. So thank you. Huge day yesterday. There's more work.

[Mo]

So proud.

[Rod Ryan]

There's more work to be done. Yeah, I mean, you know, it was a $30,000 day. Keep in mind, I told you 20 grand in the store, 21,000. I got to back out payment of those. You know, I got to pay for the, the raw materials. I used to always tell you too, hey, I need 80 grand to get 4,000 backpacks full of school supplies. I need more than that. I do. I need more than that.

[Alex]

It's.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a lot. Hey, World cup starts today. There's 104 matches that are going to be played across 16 host cities between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. from today, they start in Mexico City. City today until July 19th, we're going to be talking about this.

[Mo]

That's a long time.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. And you know, I, I understand because it's here and especially because we're a host city. We got seven matches here. So it's excited, man. Knockout matches starting on June 28th. We have two of those knockout matches here. So if soccer, even if it's not your thing, it's kind of interesting to see all the stuff that Chili put up on links and guests. The real the German guy named Freddy that's been tweeting about his Experiences. Somebody told me that J.J. watt personally

[Mo]

reached out to him. Right?

[Rod Ryan]

Reached out to Freddy.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Now Freddy's the guy that Mo was talking about that in all caps, dude. Lmao. This, this is the gas station talking about Bucky's Freddy from Germany. I mean he is just having these wonderful discoveries. Deliveries in this crazy world called America. Walmart. He's talking about the heat in Florida but apparently he's making his way here and Houston. Yeah. And JJ said if you make your way to Houston, kind of like hey let's hook up type of deal, like JJ wants to meet him.

[Mo]

That's really cool.

[Rod Ryan]

And JJ will do something fun.

[Mo]

Of course he will.

[Rod Ryan]

He's the guy that said Ella Langley has been like his soundtrack of the trip so far.

[Alex]

So funny.

[Rod Ryan]

He's at Waffle House at one in the morning which he gave a 10 out of 10. He's overwhelmed by the number of choices at the Wendy's self serve soda machine. Same awesome. It's really, really. If you want to. We got all the best of Freddy on on links and guest. So that's what we have. So when we say we have soccer coverage and World cup coverage, we have fun stuff like that plus scheduling and you'll see where all the dates are here in Houston and all of that stuff. On the world famous Houston's rockin alternative,

[Mo]

the Rod ryan Morning show.

[Rod Ryan]

6 to 10am 945 the buzz 945 the buzz. Good morning. Okay, so I was listening to that. That's eight o' clock tomorrow USA Men's. Our first match in the World Cup. IHeartRadio. You know the official radio partner before I throw it to Alex. You got a new podcast up today. You guys are here. You were here yesterday working on it, right?

[Alex]

Yeah, we got into some World cup talk. I told you the five teams that one of them will win the World Cup. I have a whole system that I did. If you're. No, no team has ever won with a foreign coach. Unfortunately for the US this guy's doing the work. All the teams that have native coaches to their nation and then I gave you the five that have a chance to have actually win.

[Rod Ryan]

Team America doesn't have an American coach.

[Alex]

No, he's Argentinian.

[Rod Ryan]

Really? Does that go?

[Alex]

I mean he's good but like okay, he's. We not likely to win at all.

[Rod Ryan]

It doesn't work like that in the Olympics. That's what I'm saying.

[Alex]

Sometimes it does.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. I guess. Yeah. Bella Coroli was her Brooks. That's right. Her Brooks was Canadian.

[Alex]

No, he coached a different team after us later on in another Olympics.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex]

But this. Then I also came up with a game called Brazilian or Brazil Yankt because a lot of Brazilians have one name they go by like share. So you had to guess if that was a real Brazilian on this year's World cup team or a made up name. But yeah. So this week's episode of Pass the Gravy, go check it out. We got into NBA finals and we're trying to take back the word grape and end this anti grape smear campaign going on online.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't know people were going to

[Alex]

get into the bottom of a lot of stuff this week.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow. Online, it's Alex Online 94. 5 the Buzz. If you really want to look into something, if you. If you. If you want to continue down your wormhole on grapes.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Find out where the grape flavoring came from because it doesn't taste great. It doesn't taste like grape. But we've all decided that that's what grape flavor is.

[Mo]

Like Diamond Tap, I can taste it

[Rod Ryan]

does, but it kind of rock. It doesn't taste like grape, though. You could have called it anything thing, but who was the one that just pushed this on us and said, you're going to start calling this grape flavor now?

[Alex]

That's good.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm just saying, if you want to continue with your grape, that's good.

[Alex]

Because the Internet's been ruining the word grape a lot for me lately. But yeah, today's AOL is World cup trivia. Since the World Cup's kicking off this afternoon, you're going to try and see if you can name all 79 of the different countries.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Alex]

That have ever participated in the World Cup.

[Mo]

[Rod Ryan]

I'm gonna make sure I include myself on this. Americans, of which I am one. Don't listen to these guys. Allegedly. I feel like we are more qualified than we are more ignorant to the rest of the world than the rest of the world is if you have a friend that's from another country.

[Alex]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

They rifle off and talk about other countries and geography and they know things. They're more ingrained in it than we are. We're just in our bubble and we live here.

5 the Buzz. 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Stained. Before that blue orgy and their cover of New Orders song Blue Monday, I played mo a little bit of the original. Just wondering if it would, like, jar something. And you said you're not familiar with that song?

[Mo]

No, but they do sound very similar, the two of them.

[Rod Ryan]

It's early 80s for new orders. Blue Monday. Brilliant of orgy to cover Blue Monday. And they did a good job even though they stay real true to the original. It's a. It's a great cover. It's a great cover. Good morning, everybody. Thank you guys for rolling with us. I had to look it up. I. Maybe I heard who watches the Mormon shows?

[Mo]

I do. Alex's wishes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. And. And I've heard it thrown around. And I had to go look it up because I'm seeing that doctors are now saying that, listen, you guys gotta back off on these dirty sodas. I hear that term all the time, dirty sodas. And I think it was popularized because it was started in Utah with the Mormon community.

[Mo]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

They cannot drink alcohol. Alcohol. And they can't have coffee.

[Mo]

They're not supposed to do caffeine if

[Rod Ryan]

you're old school on it. But for some reason, they kind of allow caffeine and sodas now. But they don't want hot drinks.

[Alex]

They allow some other stuff too. They don't. Traditional.

[Rod Ryan]

Right.

[Mo]

But we found that out on the show.

[Rod Ryan]

It seems a little silly, but these dirty sodas are becoming popular now. But doctors are worried because they're not healthy and they can be upwards of 500 calories. I'm like, what's. What's in these dirty sodas?

[Alex]

Like, you're not gonna get cirrhosis because you're not drinking, but you might get diabetes.

[Rod Ryan]

Correct.

[Mo]

Oh, no.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. You're trading off one version vice for another. So dirty soda customizable non alcoholic mixed drink that elevates standard sodas by adding flavored syrups, oftentimes fruit juice, a splash of cream or creamer. Because I guess, I guess they're not drinking coffee.

[Mo]

Yeah, the cream, the flavored creamers are right. Really make it dirty.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. The original dirty diet coke. Diet coke mixed with coconut syrup, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, juice and a splash of half and half. So I guess it's to make them feel like they're drinking something kind of special. Special.

[Mo]

Yes. And they have full drive throughs for this. It's called swig. Have you noticed them?

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Mo]

Popping up around here one by my

[Alex]

in laws and I only knew it because of that.

[Mo]

It came from Utah.

[Rod Ryan]

They specialize in dirty sodas.

[Mo]

That's all you get there. You order your own beverage.

[Alex]

It's like a Coca Cola freestyle machine where you could be like I want cherry coke cream. But then they're like also coffee creamer.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Just mud and flavors

[Rod Ryan]

and sprinkles.

[Mo]

Even McDonald's has them now. You can get a dirty soda at McDonald's.

[Rod Ryan]

They say these things easily can go up to 500 calories, 55 to 70 grams of sugar, which is kind of

[Alex]

what 90% of like the fancy Starbucks drinks that they push are.

[Rod Ryan]

You're probably right.

[Alex]

They're just. They're just not calling them.

[Rod Ryan]
