[Rod Ryan]

Good morning. The U.S. military conducted what it's called self defense strikes in southern Iran yesterday. They were targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Well, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US has effectively secured its goal of, quote, a world that no longer has to be in fear or worry about an Iranian nuclear weapon. Okay, today's election day for the runoff elections. Yeah, you got to, you got to vote today. Rotten.

[Chili]

Like, is it election day all week?

[Rod Ryan]

No, today.

[Chili]

Just today.

[Rod Ryan]

Today, today.

[Chili]

Okay, so no more text messages after today.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I'm sure they'll still come through too much today. Democrats and Republicans have to decide which Candidate they want on the November general election ballot. That's what you're deciding. Polls open at 7am today. You have until 7pm and in most Texas counties, Make sure you check yours. But in most, you can vote at any polling location in your general county of registration. Hooters is working on an upgrade. Yeah, they're attempting to pull themselves out of bankruptcy by getting family friendly.

[Chili]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

They're going with a beach theme.

[Chili]

It's my old employer. Yeah, I worked there for.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I've spent a lot of time at Hooters myself. One of the bosses there said they want to bring back the delightfully tacky version of the chain. Not a bunch of butt cheeks hanging out. They're going to go for more family friendly. And they're also going to work on the food, revamping the sauce, which is a staple on most of their.

[Chili]

I don't go to Hooters, but a lot of people said the food didn't hold up over the years.

[Rod Ryan]

I guess we'll see. They said some of the changes have already been implemented at some locations. Stephen Colbert wasn't off TV very long. Just one day after his final late show aired, he was back on the airwaves. Michigan public access show.

[Alex]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I don't know. He said it was an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV.

[Chili]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

He had Eminem on as one of his guests. Seems cool. And he spoke on facetime with the guy that took over his time slot, that Byron guy.

[Chili]

Byron Allen. Byron Allen.

[Rod Ryan]

I thought that was weird. He did great on his final episode. Numbers are finally in. Incredible.

[Chili]

This was just a one off thing that he did, right?

[Rod Ryan]

I think so.

[Chili]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I think so. Patty Schmell, the former hold summer, is auctioning off a shirt worn by Kurt Cobain. And the current bids, it's at $8,000.

[Chili]

Ooh, she must need the money.

[Rod Ryan]

Kind of felt that in the comment section. Apparently, she went over to their house, Kurt and Courtney's, to pick up Courtney for whole rehearsals. Went upstairs, sat on the bed. While Courtney was getting ready, Kurt came in, grabbed the shirt, threw it to her because they watched the movie together. $8,000.

[Chili]

Really? Must need the money.

[Rod Ryan]

I know, it's kind of sad. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Chili]

Okay, we got to talk about this Astros game, Alex.

[Alex]

Yeah. They got a win last night. They blew up the Rangers nine and nothing. Tatsuya Imei, Stephen Okert and a limber Santa combined for the 17th regular season no hitter in Astros history. They have now won four in A row. And they're gonna play the Rangers again tonight. Jason Alexander is going to be on the mound for the Strobes going up against the Rangers. Jack Leiter first pitches at 7:05 and you can listen to it on our sister station sports talk790. Pretty sick for the Astros to do that, especially against Dallas in the NBA playoffs. The Knicks blew out the Cavs 130 to 93 to sweep the Eastern Conference Finals 4 to nothing in advance to the NBA Finals where they will face either the spurs or the Thunder in that. And then in hockey we got the Stanley cup playoffs continuing. And the Hurricanes got by the Canadians in overtime 3 to 2 to take a 21 lead in that series. That is what's going on in sports.

[Chili]

Alright, here we go. Here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. First phone call could be yours. I'm going to open up every single phone line if you want to talk. What do you want to get us started with on that first phone call? Let us know that you're out there. There are some schools that are still at it. Not all the HASD is still going at it.

[Alex]

So rude.

[Chili]

Yeah, yeah. So we're not completely free and clear of the buses just yet. All right. 713-212-5945. The most interactive show on the radio starts right now. 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Good morning everybody. Hope you had a great long weekend. Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey. Let's go. We got a busy show for you today. We're gonna be packed every hour. We got a lot to get through, a lot to cover. Lots of stuff sent over to Chile for links and guests. Mo had six picks. No, no, Alex had six.

[Rod Ryan]

You're welcome.

[Chili]

Okay, we got a brand new little jingle for six picks today.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, really?

[Chili]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's coming too. Three time hall of Famer Sammy Baker Davis Jr. He's going for win number three. And Chili, put five finger death punch tickets in there to the winner on the game. So we're gonna get rolling with that in just a little bit. Black Crows tickets in homeroom. We are gonna play the freeway battle. I don't tell you what, freeways are gonna be going at each other until right before game time. We'll get to win pit tickets to Godsmack stp. Dorothy. Yeah, so that's gonna be good. Phone lines are ringing. I'll take them.

[Rod Ryan]

It's now time for the first phone call of the day.

[Chili]

Oh, traffic copter. Jim. Good morning. Jim. Hey, Rod. How's it going? Oh, I'm not ready for the traffic copter. Wait a minute. Let me see if I can find you. It's a dog. Goat. It's a crowd. That's crickets. Truck, toilet. There it is. Helicopter. There you are. Hey, there we go in the traffic copter. Hey. Roads are looking clear right now. For now, another half hour. Forget about it. What's going on, dude? Hey, looking forward to ditch day. It's gonna be my first time out there for. For that event. Okay. Why have you waited hanging out with the cause so long? I've been out there for. I've been out there for the Valentine's Day, the Milo meet thing a couple times. That's right. That's right. I just. I just haven't done dish day. You're coming in a semi professional capacity because you guys are bringing up the casino stuff because. Yeah, absolutely. We're gonna have craps table, blackjack tables. We're talking about maybe. Maybe some slot machines. Wow. We are. And then we're talking about like all the other fun and games and the inflatables. And then I just got, over the weekend, I got confirmation that the Reverend Butter is going to hang out with us and he's going to do a live carving out there. So that's also happening. Oh, nice. And you got. You got a DJ out there. Dj. What's his name? That's on the website now, too. Ebonics. Ebonics, yeah. Yeah. Johnny can't make it, so Ebonics is the only other guy that has ever spun before on Ditch Day. But yeah, it's this Friday, guys. I mean, I hope you didn't party too much over the weekend because we're gonna get rolling at noon at Cactus Cove and it, you know, there's no cover charge. We don't do that. It's just hanging out with us. It's an adult event, though. This is not like a family friendly. Don't bring the kids. I know some of them are out of school already, but. Yeah, no, this is just us partying and dating and we're going to teach you to play craps. You're going to spend more than five minutes. I know, I know. During the golf tournament, you got a million things going on, so you can't hang out with us too long, but you're going to have time. We are going to teach you how to play craps. All right, dude, I'm looking forward to it. Thank you. What did we come up with? The name of the Shot on Friday. Right? Does anybody remember we were here on Friday?

Yes, it is definitely sloppy toppy. The sloppy toppy.

[Alex]

Stephen Colbert is trending. He appeared on a Michigan public access show with Jack White and Eminem.

[Chili]

Yeah. So Chad MC said the public access show that Colbert did was called only in Monroe. He said it was so good he had Jack White on the entire time as his musical co host. It's on YouTube where you can watch all of it. So yeah, we gotta link up for this. Okay.

What punctuation mark ends a standard sentence? Same exclamation. Josh, Josh, don't hurt yourself, okay? I'm. I'm hurt enough for everyone. Sammy, what's the answer? A period. Period. Oh, my God. It's not Friday

[Rod Ryan]

anything. I'm going home right now.

[Chili]

You do know it's Tuesday, right? Not Monday. All right. Golly, I'm going home.

[Rod Ryan]

Sammy, you win five finger Death Bunch tickets.

[Chili]

If you haven't heard, come back tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. Josh, we gotta say goodbye.

[Rod Ryan]

I know it feels like we just said hello.

[Chili]

Sammy, you're the winner. And I'm blowing the whole place up. I'm blowing the thing up. All right. I'm blowing it up. That's it, guys. Hang on. Oh, gee. Goodbye. All right, breaking Benjamin. 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rob Ryan'. I know you guys love to hear me melting down on the radio.

[Rod Ryan]

No. Goodbye.

[Chili]

It is not fun. Okay, email's poured in. Rod, I know you're freaking. This is good radio. This is not good radio. That was not good. Okay, thank you, Chili, for coming in. We're like, I got the speech here, ready to go. It's all on the same dumb computer. And then he's like, just do a hard restart afterwards. So bring me the victory speech and then I'll restart this hunk of crap. The fresh out of bed head to head challeng. Here's your current champion. Good morning, everybody. Sammy Baker Davis Jr. And I am your fresh out of bed, head to head three day champion. I'm not sure quite what that was, but it was two questions and two answers. Join me on Wild card Wednesday when I make it win number four.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Sorry, Sammy.

[Chili]

Yeah, I'm sorry. It was horrible. All right. Restarting. So I think me restarting this computer also wipes out the Facebook feed and it's all on one. Dumb.

[Rod Ryan]

Is that why all the screens are black right now?

[Chili]

Yeah, it's like the Gateway 2000. You guys remember that Gateway company? That's what this computer is. You had a gateway back in the day, Hal? Something like that? Yeah, maybe. All right, so that's restarting. Sorry to mess up your Live feed. If you were watching us, we're gonna miss out on hell. But I brought us some new fun facts for you guys. 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. All right, here are some new fun facts for you today. Brooks Brook. My dad shopped there. My dad was a smaller man. He had an odd size about him or something. And he, like, Brooks Brothers was, like, the one place my dad would shop.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Chili]

He owned two suits his whole life. I think he bought them from Brooks Brothers. Hal, you probably have some Brooks Brothers. I've got a few of those shirts. Yeah. You do. Now. They invented the button down shirt collar in 1900. They noticed that polo players would pin the collars down so they wouldn't flap around while they were, like, trotting around on the hors horses.

[Alex]

I always had to do that during.

[Chili]

I never knew, like, silly to have that collar button down. You don't have a collared button. But is that where we call it a button down shirt? What do you call. What do you call what you're wearing? Hell, because you're, like, the only one that's dressed like going to a real job. It's a dress shirt. Is it a button down shirt or a button up shirt? You call it either one of those? Neither one of those. Yeah, I would call that a button down.

[Alex]

I call it a buttoned shirt.

[Chili]

A buttoned shirt. You don't have zipper shirts? Zipper shirt?

[Alex]

No.

[Chili]

Well, yeah, I do.

[Alex]

Well, okay.

[Chili]

I forgot who I was talking to. Hey, get the gimp, Steve. Steve Jobs chose the word apple because he loved apples. That is fun. And Apple was a head of Atari in the phone book, and he used to work for Atari.

[Alex]

So I showed him.

[Chili]

That was it. That was another thing. But yeah, Steve Jobs just kind of liked apples. Finally, ranch dressing is named after the brand Hidden Valley Ranch. They created the dressing in the 1950s, and everyone that copied it just called it ranch style. That's neat. Hidden Valley Ranch is the name of the ranch. And then they invented a dressing and they just called it Ranch Ranch better

[Alex]

than Hidden Valley dressing.

[Chili]

Hidden Valley Ranch.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Chili]

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. You can see Mo looking at me during that whole ranch segment. She's like, this is one of the dumber ones that you've brought to me in this year that I've been here.

[Rod Ryan]

No poker face. You really read my face.

[Chili]

Like you know all of that ranch knowledge.

[Rod Ryan]

Ranch.

[Chili]

You knew it.

[Rod Ryan]

I think it's every time he said ranch.

[Chili]

Ranch, Ranch. Okay, what are you giving away?

[Rod Ryan]

Ooh, I have black crows and Whiskey Myers tickets.

[Chili]

Look how I'm looking at you right now.

[Rod Ryan]

August 8th. Look how I'm looking at you in the woodlands. Doesn't even affect me. If you know this flashback, you get those.

[Chili]

Okay? It's your fun back flashback. I mean, geez, you want to pick it out?

[Rod Ryan]

Ranch.

[Chili]

Oh, God, this is a long weekend. I can't say that word. What's an eructation like? Oh, God, I really had an embarrassing eructation just now. Eructation, hell, you don't remember? It's a technical term. 713-212-5945. It's now time for rock out with your stockout with Captain Cash. Hal, happy belated birthday.

[Alex]

Thank you.

[Chili]

Yesterday was Hal's birthday. Yay.

[Chili]

This is pro linebacker TJ Watt. And I'm back for another active drop with YPB by Abercrombie. I co designed this collection to stand up to my off season training schedule. My favorite is the Deltfit tank. It has deeper shoulder cuts for better mobility and it's the one tank I never have to adjust mid workout. So you know we had to call it the TJ Tank Shop. YPB by Abercrombie in the app, online and in stores. Because your personal best is greater than any anything.

[Rod Ryan]

I drive my bus in a busy city. That's why road safety is so important to me. I know that I must slow down and be extra careful when I make a wide turn. Buses need more room than cars. Everyone can help keep our roads safe.

[Chili]

Next time you're driving, remember to give buses plenty of time and space to

[Rod Ryan]

finish turning before driving ahead. Let's all plan to share the road safely.

[Rod Ryan]

Gave me a fright.

[Chili]

Hi, is this Matt? Yes sir, it is. Eructation. Eructation is a technical term. For what? It's a bird for adults. Congratulations, dude. Thank you for being there. You just won the fun fact flashback. What are you giving them?

[Rod Ryan]

Black crows. Whiskey buyers. And you, sir. August 8th in the Woodlands. Everybody else, Ticketmaster.com. you don't want to miss it.

[Chili]

Let's go. Way to go, Matt. Thank you. I appreciate it. Appreciate you, man. Hang on. Thank you. Everybody in homeroom. That is still there. I probably would have changed the station too if I heard all that fun mess. All right, here's Papa Roach. 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show on this tattoosday. Thank you so much for having us on. Mostly cloudy skies today. About a 30. Chance of rain, highs of. I got Motley Crue tickets for you next hour closer to around 7:20. Then God forbid we play a game on this show. Gonna try to use the phones. And we're gonna play the freeway battle. 8. 20 to win. Pit tickets to Godsmack. Right now I got MO and Houston's headlines. What you got?

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, sir. The US Military conducted what it called self defense strikes in southern Iran yesterday. They were targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boat that were attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US has effectively secured its goal of, quote, a world that no longer has to be in fear or worry about an Iranian nuclear weapon. Okay, two terrible headlines out of Galveston over the holiday weekend. One. A teen was hospitalized with a shark bite. He was bitten while he was offshore. The fishing boat he was on lost power on the way back to shore and the Coast Guard had to transport him back. Also, we know a 10 year old boy was swimming near Surfside beach when he reportedly got swept away by a large wave. The Coast Guard was called in to help with the search, but authorities and Texas Equisearch are still searching for the young boy. Tipping is trending on tick tock again. Or still.

[Chili]

This is a pretty entertaining video.

[Alex]

She does.

[Chili]

She does a good job.

[Rod Ryan]

The woman went viral. She went for Froyo frozen yogurt, right? Grabbed her own cup, filled it herself, did her own toppings, waited in line, paid at the kiosks with Apple pay and the screen said, how much would you like to tip?

[Chili]

No human act interaction. None at all.

[Rod Ryan]

She's like, who would this tip go to?

[Chili]

It was a complete self serve situation.

[Rod Ryan]

The only interaction, the only way she knows there was a worker there was when someone shouted have a good day as she was leaving.

[Alex]

That's he tip.

[Chili]

Is that who you're tipping? The person that said have a good day?

[Alex]

I think it probably just goes to the company at that point.

[Rod Ryan]

The comment section is kind of funny. Like even people that work at Froyo places were like, we don't even assume anyone's gonna tip for that.

[Alex]

I think it puts the workers in a bad spot sometimes because then you like unintentionally are angry at them, thinking it's like something that they're doing. They're just like, look, we didn't make the iPad, man. We're just hanging out.

[Chili]

Everything was completely done by the customer. The toppings, the yogurt, everything up until

[Rod Ryan]

who's getting this tip. I feel that way sometimes. Like you just handed me a bottle

[Alex]

of if you go to an Astros game and you get a hot dog and they hand you the hot dog that's in the foil and then like a soda or a beer that's already just a can that then you have to open. And then there's the tip thing. I'm like, you just handed me stuff.

[Chili]

They flip it right over And I'm like, go ahead. Like what?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. And they make it hard to say no. Like the options are 20%, 50% or 100% or custom.

[Alex]

And then you have to be the guy that goes in type 0.

[Chili]

Yeah. You can go see this video. This. This chick does a really good job with this video. It's entertaining.

[Rod Ryan]

We got updates over the weekend when it comes to Kyle Busch. He passed away last week at 41 years old. And we now know that he died after a battle with severe pneumonia that had progressed into sepsis that led to a rapid and overwhelmingly associated complications. According to a statement from his. He died, became unresponsive and while he was in a racing simulator. And the 911 call is just heartbreaking. And let's talk about Drake because we don't get enough time to talk about Drake. We talked about him a few weeks ago. He released his album Iceman. Right.

[Chili]

Three albums he put out, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. We knew Iceman was coming. Surprise. Released the other two albums at the same time. All three debuted in the top three spots on the Billboard 200 chart. And he's now making history. Continues to break history. It's the first time in Billboard 200 history that an artist has held the top three spots at the same time.

[Chili]

So people are getting these three albums, all of them. And I just said.

[Rod Ryan]

You said, who has time to listen

[Chili]

to three people have time.

[Alex]

You download them all.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Alex]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

When you get it, just get after it. He ties Taylor Swift for the most number one albums for solo artists, but those are Houston's headlines.

[Chili]

All right, we got some great news to report on with the Astros.

[Alex]

Yeah, they got a win last night. They blew up the Rangers nine to nothing. It's always good when you beat Dallas at anything. But Tatsuya, Ime, Steven Okert and Olimber Santa combined to throw the 17th regular season no hitter in Astros history. I also saw that it was Santa's first, like, debut, his career debut, which is pretty sick to be part of a no hitter in that. That Ashley's like, I gotta retire.

[Rod Ryan]

No pressure.

[Alex]

Your first appearance, you were part of another. I can't get better than this.

[Chili]

Like Gautier just put up.

[Alex]

Just head on out. Just do the one later. Thanks.

[Chili]

One song and leave.

[Alex]

I'll see you in the hall of Fame. Astros have now won four straight. They're gonna play the Rangers again tonight. Jason Alexander is going to be on the mound for the Strozz going up against the Rangers. Jack leiter first pitches at705 and you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 7 90. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks blew out the Cavs 130 to 93 to sweep the Eastern Conference finals and the stand in the Stanley cup playoffs. The Hurricanes got by the Canadiens in overtime 3 to 2 to take a 21 lead in that series. That is what's going on in sports.

[Chili]

Thank you. The Rod ryan Morning Show, 6 to

10am the buzz order for Jennifer C. Is this my double shot, double cream, double froth, double pump, double whip, double sleeve?

Did you know Discover automatically doubles all the cash back you've earned at the end of your first year? Yeah, you. You just said that. Did you say I just said that? Yeah.

[Chili]

Nice of the guys to write a song about my dog. It's Godsmack. Really nice. I literally think of this Sully. What a swell guy. 94. 5 the Buzz Good Morning Rod Ryan show on this tattoos day. Thank you so much for staying with us. If you apparently the phones are working now. It's always after a long weekend. It's always after a long weekend that there's some kind of an update. We don't have like a traditional phone line system like we used to have. I used to have like a phone in here. Like I pick up the phone, I could hold it to my ear and my mouth and I could talk to somebody.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chili]

And then I could press buttons on a phone. Like just think of like an office phone with multiple lines. Then some genius thought, well, let's just go all digital and it's just on a computer now. What could go wrong? What could go wrong? A Windows update could go wrong.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't even say it.

[Chili]

Kind of an update. And it's all on this one computer over here. And it's like the phones are on there. That's what kind of sends everything to YouTube and Facebook. And I'm going through some of your comments and listen. I'm melting down on the air. Like this whole thing.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Chili]

We were playing the fresh out of bed head to head. Like the music bed, which we learned in fun Facts that that was Enter the Dragon. It's from a Bruce Lee movie. We never even heard that saxophone part at the end.

[Rod Ryan]

No, never.

[Chili]

It was playing so long. Here's just a few. These are the. This was all coming in as like the whole show is melting down. Omg Brother Rod. I am freaking rolling in my driver's seat trying to keep my car on the road over your phone line predicament. Thank you, Kyle James. Are you sure you don't work for the government? Having a billion dollar enterprise and can't get phones to work sounds like a government job. You're not wrong, Steve White. Brother Rod. I am over here laughing my balls off. What you call terrible radio is hilarious. Pushing the wrong buttons, random things playing people on the show that aren't supposed to be on while you're flipping out. I love it. It. Thank you. Finally, Javier. I feel like my entire 45 minute drive to work was listening to you dummies trying to figure out how the head to head phones work. Maybe the best 45 minutes of radio ever.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh my goodness.

[Chili]

Not good.

[Rod Ryan]

We're so sweaty.

[Alex]

We know how the phones work.

[Chili]

It's not good.

[Alex]

Phones just choose to break all the time and then when we use them the way we know how to use them, they do not function.

[Chili]

Okay. I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

Hi.

[Chili]

The podcast. I. I am not going to go back.

[Alex]

All

[Chili]

I want the company to hear that. Leave it in there. Send it. Send that to New York and say, hey, I'm on the front lines here in Houston. All right. Phones are working. We're gonna get you guys calling in for Motley Crew tickets after the break and then I'm gonna try. We'll play the freeway battle game. We're gonna get a couple of freeway competing. A couple of freeways competing for the band we just heard. I got pit tickets to Godsmack STP Dorothy all week. So a short week. Four pair. We're gonna give those away at 8:20. I hope everybody had a great memorial weekend. I brought in some food. Mo said she's fasting. Oh, my gosh.

[Rod Ryan]

And I'm just staring at this.

[Alex]

What is this?

[Rod Ryan]

I have to have blood work today.

[Chili]

Oh, six hours. That was told. So usually I have my seven o' clock snack and then they'll take blood like at two in the afternoon for me.

[Rod Ryan]

Must be nice.

[Chili]

What did. Time it out.

[Rod Ryan]

I'll get there as soon as possible after the show.

[Chili]

I brought food. I brought treats.

[Rod Ryan]

What is that? I'm trying not to look.

[Chili]

I brought potato salad and then I brought beans. I made beans with cheese on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like cowboy beans. Oh my gosh.

[Rod Ryan]

It looks so good.

[Chili]

So if you guys. The problem is the beans need to be warmed up. But don't heat up the potato salad.

[Rod Ryan]

How do you do that?

[Chili]

Cuz I brought it in the same container.

[Rod Ryan]

We'll eat the potato salad first. Eat the potato salad and then heat up the beans.

[Chili]

And then heat up the beans. Mo had six picks. There's a new Alex. Oh, Alex has six.

[Alex]

I hate me having six pictures.

[Rod Ryan]

I talk so excited.

[Chili]

I talked at length. How much I enjoy your six picks. But I'm so excited. There's a new jingle.

[Alex]

There is a jingle.

[Chili]

You have it because I have it here.

[Alex]

All right.

[Chili]

If you got it. I did a little collab with Jingle Blake. Like he did all the dirty work, but I kind of like. We collabed on this. Alex's six picks. I don't have time to get into it right now, but I really want to play the jingle. Jingle Blake did such a good job.

[Rod Ryan]

Was that a horse?

[Chili]

I wonder what that was at the end. Jingle Blake. Awesome. Alex's six picks. Around the world famous Rod Reinshow blog [e-mail] so I can't wait to get into those. I got a couple of movie reviews. People watched and then. I understand Mo watched the movie over the weekend.

[Rod Ryan]

I watched a movie. Breaking news.

[Chili]

I breaking news. I said as we're going into the Memorial Day weekend. I do it every year. I do the same bit every year. Like I always suggest, if you're looking for something to watch this weekend. And you took my suggestion.

[Rod Ryan]

I did.

[Chili]

Yeah. A bunch of people watched at this.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you.

[Chili]

And they sent me emails. Taking Chance was the name of the movie that I suggested. And you watched it?

[Rod Ryan]

I did.

[Chili]

And didn't cry?

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Chili]

You are an animal.

[Rod Ryan]

Diabolical.

[Alex]

That's on demand.

[Chili]

Did you watch with your husband? Yes. Did he get a little emotional?

[Rod Ryan]

I'm sure.

[Chili]

But Nothing out of you?

[Rod Ryan]

Nah. I was kind of mad at myself.

[Chili]

Were you laughing during it?

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't laugh.

[Chili]

Okay, you can't laugh.

[Rod Ryan]

No, I did not laugh.

[Chili]

What's wrong with you? I don't know who hurt you.

[Rod Ryan]

That's why I got to get my blood done.

[Chili]

I don't know. He's like, why are you not talking about Sabrina Carpenter?

[Alex]

Well, now we are, because your queen.

[Chili]

[Rod Ryan]

Darius Rucker got not, like, a lifetime achievement award or something.

[Alex]

Timothy Chalamet is trending. He and Kylie Jenner. You're celebrating with the Knicks on the court in Cleveland.

[Chili]

They were getting booed when they showed them on the screen, and that was,

[Alex]

like, just a couple days after Travis and. And Taylor Swift were out there.

[Chili]

Oh, I didn't see that too, but

[Rod Ryan]

I. I guess no one booed that.

[Alex]

I don't know if Taylor Swift might be pretty chill if she lets you go to a Cleveland Cavs game. Like, you want to go hang out in Cleveland for the night, babe?

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Cool with it.

[Chili]

Chalamet was just sitting there like, oh, my God, I'm getting booed.

[Alex]

Legit Knicks fan. So it's cool to see that. Like, they were embracing also. He's a superstar, so obviously they're gonna do that. And then the Astros are trending. Three pitchers combined to throw a no hitter against the Rangers last night. They beat him nine to nothing. Pretty sick. And then one of them was. Was Santa was making his MLB debut.

[Chili]

You got military in your family.

[Rod Ryan]

I do. My brother's a Marine.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I know.

[Chili]

What the hell?

[Rod Ryan]

I know. I know there's something wrong with me.

[Chili]

What did the plumber think of it?

[Rod Ryan]

I think he really enjoyed it. He actually stayed up a little bit later and watched whatever it told us to watch next.

[Chili]

So that's always a recommendation that I throw out before Memorial Day weekend. I'm like, man. Man. I find every year that when I make the suggestion. Most people have not heard of that movie. It was a. I think it was made for hbo, but it was Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon. Is phenomenal in it. Yeah. And it's just the. I. I learned so much, and I had such. I came away with such more appreciation for the military and what they do and how they care for fallen soldiers and what they did, how to transport this young soldier back to his family. It's an unbelievable movie. And I probably took about six, eight emails that said, rod, thank you for recommending this movie. You're right. I had never heard of it before, but wow. And you just. You learn, and you have just the. The respect. And Kevin Bacon is amazing in this movie. I could tear up just thinking about it. And you. Nothing.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't have emotions.

[Chili]

You're an animal. I know.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm sorry.

[Chili]

You're an animal. All right.

[Rod Ryan]

I appreciated it, though.

[Chili]

This. This also makes me cry.

[Rod Ryan]

The horse. I don't understand the horse.

[Chili]

That's our man jingle, Blake. It's a great week for it because I always look forward to Alex's six picks from the weekend. Bro. What now? I brought you guys in food.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, you did. Above and beyond.

[Chili]

I brought you food.

[Rod Ryan]

I want to eat it so bad.

[Chili]

Chili, I got food for you. You're making a little pizza with the kids. Is that a boboli crust?

[Alex]

Yeah, I'm not gonna make dough.

[Chili]

Yeah, the bubbly crust. Those bubblies are good. Yeah, they're really good.

[Alex]

A lot of time.

[Chili]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My pizza crust doesn't taste as good as those ghost. All right, well, there you are, making

[Alex]

a little pizza pizza Saturday night. That was easy.

[Chili]

Have you guys seen Alex's six pics yet?

[Rod Ryan]

Look at him go.

[Chili]

Can I ask about the decor?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Chili]

Is the yes, chef a permanent thing in your kitchen?

[Alex]

Yes, it is.

[Chili]

That's awesome.

[Alex]

My wife wanted that for a Christmas gift one time, so I got it for yes, Chef.

[Chili]

It says yes, chef in your kitchen?

[Alex]

In our kitchen.

[Chili]

Oh, my God. That's so great. All right, that pizza looks great. Black olives and little jalapenos.

[Alex]

Some.

[Chili]

I have the kids. Kids half doesn't have the jalapenos.

[Alex]

The kid had her own little tiny pizza.

[Chili]

Okay. Dennis says I'm going along here. Six picks with Alex. Woke up Sunday to watch my team get relegated from the Premier League. What does that mean?

[Alex]

They got kicked out of the league, so they will now go down a league because they're one of the three worst teams in the Premier League.

[Chili]

Oh, this is the team that you have people that pick.

[Alex]

Like, if you're a bandwagon fan, you pick Man United, you pick Chelsea, you pick Manchester City.

[Chili]

They're always good, right?

[Alex]

Yeah, they're. They're good teams. If you're a real fan, you pick somebody like West Ham, a little scrappy team.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Alex]

And sometimes when you don't pick one of the big dogs, they get kicked out of that league and kicked out. Yeah. So now they have to play a lower in a lower league for a whole other season and hope that they finish the top three elevated so they get to come back.

[Chili]

Okay, now, I saw you put it, Bruno.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, it sounds like it.

[Chili]

I saw you put a picture of Mundo. If there's somebody that should get in the rotation of six picks. Mundo is living the life.

[Alex]

How cool was this, though?

[Rod Ryan]

Those flights were. Were so expensive for that game.

[Chili]

He went in and out like a. He had. He's famous for these 24 hour trips.

[Alex]

You guys all suspect in Memphis like that.

[Chili]

Yeah. You guys have all heard Mundo. I think he went to the sphere.

[Alex]

He saw the oasis in Chicago.

[Chili]

Chicago. That's what it was. So Mundo is repping past the gravy at. He went to go see the Astros in Chicago on Sunday.

[Rod Ryan]

Amazing.

[Chili]

And he literally went in and out, in and out. But yeah, the Wrigley Field. I mean, that famous Wrigley Field sign is behind.

[Alex]

Yeah. With our flag in front of. Pretty cool.

[Chili]

The only thing would have been better if the score was different or. No, I'm sorry. We won. Oh, that was the eight to five game. That's right. Okay, so, yeah, so he gets to go and Astros with a win.

[Rod Ryan]

That's cool.

[Alex]

And passing baby with a win.

[Chili]

Yep. Ellen, Ava, we're super excited because you had no work yesterday.

[Rod Ryan]

[Chili]

And then there we go. Boy, you guys love those jalapenos then. You got the burgers going yesterday, huh?

My parents are growing some jalapenos, so I've been trying to put them to good use.

[Chili]

Fresh jalapenos.

Rob Bass from It Takes Two died on Friday. He was battling cancer for a long time. I didn't know that. It's like the weekend hits and there's all this stuff going on at the same time. I saw a story about Sherry Shepherd's like, hey, nobody cares about my show being done. Everybody was focused on Colbert Bear. Her last show was on Thursday.

Diplo, the world famous DJ, DJ DJ'd his son's kindergarten graduation. Imagine like, the kid's dad is Diplo. You're in kindergarten.

[Alex]

You probably have no idea who that is.

[Rod Ryan]

I know it's cute, but all the parents and the teachers.

[Chili]

Okay, but not to be outdone, I just showed Mo. I said, mo, you gotta come look at this picture. Oh, my goodness.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Chili]

Okay, so my kid goes to Harvard Elementary School in the Heights. Okay? They just posted a picture. All the kids sent one of the dads a picture. And it's got all the kids thumbprints on it right now. Why would this dad get this kind of special treatment? Why didn't, like, all the kids send me a picture? Dad's in the International Space Station. Alex, come see. Come see.

[Rod Ryan]

That's really cute.

[Chili]

He took a picture of what the kids sent Him. And look at the. Look at the background. What? Dad. Dad called the kids in class in my kids school. Dad called the kids international. Dad called the kids from the International Space Station. You can't do that.

[Alex]

I'm like, you can't do that.

[Rod Ryan]

Your chopped liver like Rob Ryan.

[Chili]

Who gives a crap?

[Alex]

Sorry. Unless you're in space.

[Chili]

Rob Ryan's kid goes here. Who cares? I don't think.

[Rod Ryan]

Freaking astronaut.

As a matter of fact, he's not the only astronaut that's got a kid there. Really? Yeah. This is a publisher. My kid goes to public school. Yeah, it's a pub. It's really great. It's a great school. It's a public school. I think there's another astronaut there that wrote some book that she goes in there and reads it to everybody. Like these parents.

[Rod Ryan]

Parents.

[Chili]

I can't deal with it.

[Rod Ryan]

That picture's crazy.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. The U.S. military conducted what it called self defense strikes in southern IR yesterday. They were targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats that were attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US has effectively secured its goal of a quote, world that no longer has to be in fear or worry about an Iranian nuclear weapon.

[Chili]

Good job enunciating and thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

I just have a lot more questions about all of that that's going on. Like, we're good? Well, listen, it seems good.

[Chili]

Don't ask me.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, okay.

[Chili]

Don't ask me. These guys are always saying that they're. Whatever they're doing is great.

[Rod Ryan]

Everything's great.

[Chili]

Everyone's always doing everything just right.

[Rod Ryan]

Today's election day. You have to go to the holes today. Runoff elections. Democrats and Republicans have to decide which candidate they want on the November general election ballots.

[Chili]

Guys were blowing me up, man.

[Rod Ryan]

Man, you've got a lot of text messages and phone calls.

[Chili]

I got in the cycle somehow and everybody was blowing me up.

[Rod Ryan]

Polls are officially open until 7pm today and in most Texas counties. Make sure you check yours. You can vote at any polling location within the county you're registered.

[Chili]

So someone. Chip Roy. Chip Roy. John Cornyn.

[Rod Ryan]

[Chili]

Menifee. Menifee. Am I saying it wrong? The guy that's always running?

[Rod Ryan]

Christian Menifee.

[Chili]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. He wasn't on my ballot. Okay, maybe I missed him. Hooters is now beach themed. We know that the restaurant chain is attempting to pull itself out of bankruptcy.

[Chili]

Why did you say you spent a lot of time.

[Rod Ryan]

I love Hooters.

[Chili]

I mentioned Hooters on the show and I said I worked there.

[Rod Ryan]

You worked there. I just appreciated the food.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And orange is my favorite color. Like one of my birthdays was at Hooters. I love it. Loved it.

[Chili]

So they wore those orange shorts. And then on Friday, the girls wore the black shorts.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, really?

[Chili]

Fridays, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ass cheese hanging out. It was awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

One of the CEOs says they want to bring back the delightfully tacky version of the chain where you don't see a, quote, bunch of butt cheeks hanging out, unquote.

[Chili]

Chili.

[Rod Ryan]

Beach themed neighborhood place.

[Chili]

Chili was the last guy. I mean, before he's all boomer, jacked out. Now yeah, but Chili would. Would go to Hooters, like, within the last couple of years. Chili. Yeah, they're nice to go, but their food changed, bro. It changed. Like, the quality went down bad. Like, I mean, the sauces weren't hot or anything. It's exactly what they're talking about in this report. They're saying that somebody came over, like, nationally, and they changed things around.

[Alex]

Ridiculous.

[Chili]

The sauces weren't the same. Plus, they changed the uniforms to the girls. They try to make it more, like, decent, I guess. Whatever. Like, Chili wants to see the ass cheeks.

[Rod Ryan]

They're going more decent.

[Chili]

Go to the bar that's not. People go to and drink beer and have good food. And then if a girl, you know, happens to drop something, I'm like, oh, wait, did they still. Did they still pour your beer? Yeah, but everything was just too expensive. Like, the prices were high for the quality of the food, you know? Okay, so it wasn't. I mean, I guess their happy hour, like, was decent, but not enough to keep it because the one in Katy closed.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chili]

Oh, that's the one that you used to go to. Yeah, it was, like, right behind the neighborhood I stayed in, so it was easy. It'd stumble home from there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I would roll.

[Rod Ryan]

Maybe we'll give him another chance.

[Chili]

Yeah. I mean, I. Dude, I love the environment and everything, you know, you have, like, neighborhood friends that would just show

[Alex]

up, and you're friends.

[Rod Ryan]

Everybody knows your name.

[Alex]

Neighborhood bar.

[Chili]

Have they talked specifically what the beach theme is?

[Rod Ryan]

Beach theme. Neighborhood place by Bikini Bottom.

[Chili]

But, I mean, are they still keeping the orange shorts?

[Rod Ryan]

I hope so.

[Chili]

Now I think they're. I think they're going fully clothed. Boys, fully clothed clothes. Like, I mean, I think they got, like. Like, you know, Spanx and stuff like that.

[Rod Ryan]

Like.

[Chili]

Like, yoga pants or something like that, you know?

[Rod Ryan]

He doesn't know what stinks.

[Chili]

I don't know what Spanx are. I don't. You can tell I don't wear them

[Rod Ryan]

on the food side. They're also revamping the sauce, Chili. So what? When Spanx go under your clothes, baby,

[Chili]

Hooters girls were kind of famous, okay? I did date. I did date a girl that did work at Hooters. Like, she was, like, a former Hooters girl, and she told me, she goes, they went out with the pantyhose, the socks, and the sneakers because they wanted people to know that they work, and they were kind of famous, and they. They got treated.

[Rod Ryan]

It was like Dallas Cowboy cheerleader situation.

[Chili]

Exactly.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Alex]

Like, probably cool.

[Chili]

They could have changed. Now, I don't think they wore the shorts and everything, but they kept some of the stuff on to like, to. To kind of key people in that. Oh, my God. I think there's a couple Hooters girls over there. Holy crap. Oh, my God. On. We're here at this bar and there's Hooters girls here. That's crazy. I mean, I send over a drink.

[Rod Ryan]

Chili has more to say.

[Chili]

So you girls work at Hooters? Hey, hey, hey. I like those pantyhose. All right. Thank you, Chili.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. Stephen Colbert, trending today. He wasn't off TV for very long. It was just one day after his final late show aired. He was back on a Michigan public access shot show. He said he made the joke. It was a horrible 23 hours without TV.

[Chili]

Right?

[Rod Ryan]

This is cute. Jack White, Eminem.

[Chili]

That's huge public access show.

[Rod Ryan]

He needed something to do. Right?

[Chili]

But that's a one off thing.

[Rod Ryan]

His final episode, 6.74 million viewers. Biggest audience for a weeknight episode. During his entire time he was there, he was averaging like 2.5.

[Chili]

And it helped that the other guys dipped out on their shows.

[Alex]

Correct.

[Chili]

Also, you know, like, they went. They didn't go dark, they just ran repeats. Right. So Fallon and Kimmel.

[Rod Ryan]

He was the one to watch. Stephen Colbert. One night. One night only.

[Chili]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Patty Schmell. This is kind of a sad story. She was the whole drummer. She's auctioning off a shirt worn by Kurt Cobain and the current bid sits at $8,000. It looks like it's like a movie promo shirt from the Jodie foster movie from 1980 called Foxes. Kurt gave it to Patty because they watched the movie together. And Kurt famously wore it in a photo shoot in 1993.

[Chili]

And she's selling it now. Yeah, I know that's.

[Rod Ryan]

She must need the money.

[Chili]

Just let her keep the shirt. Somebody send her some money.

[Rod Ryan]

Send her some cash.

[Chili]

It's terrible.

[Rod Ryan]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Chili]

All right, here we go. Yeah.

[Alex]

Astros got a win last night. They blew up the Rangers nine to nothing. Tatsui Eme, Stephen Okert and Olimber Santa combined to throw the 17th regular season no hitter in Astros history. The Astros have now won four straight and they're playing the Rangers again tonight. Jason Alexander is going to be on the mountain for the Strozz. Going up against the Rangers, Jack Leiter first pitch is at 7:05 and you can listen to it on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. In the playoffs, the Knicks blew up the Cavs 130 to 93 to sweep the Eastern Conference finals. And in the Stanley cup playoffs the Hurricanes got by the Canadiens in overtime 3 to 2 to take a 21 lead in that series. That is what's going on in sports.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Chili]

Ray J fought.

[Alex]

I didn't know that.

[Chili]

And then one of the island boys.

[Alex]

I did not know that either.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Alex]

I'm like, I just saw that the man's out one.

[Chili]

I understand why you didn't cover was so bad. The announcers were laughing.

[Rod Ryan]

No way.

[Chili]

I don't know how I came across this over the weekend. I'm just like what do you mean? Johnny Manzel had. I know we just had the huge Gina Carano thing. I know that they're getting ready for a fight at the White House. You see that they're building, building out like the area structure where there's gonna be. Now that's ufc. That's Dana White.

[Rod Ryan]

That's.

[Chili]

You know what I mean? This is. Johnny Manziel is a Heisman trophy winner, a first round draft pick in the NFL.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Chili]

And he's fighting a YouTube kid. A guy not a kid. And neither one of them know what the hell they're doing. Neither one of them knew it. Did you see the highlight?

[Alex]

I saw Bob man face. It didn't look like he.

[Chili]

It's just. I mean, Johnny Manzo, whatever professional athlete. I wouldn't get the ring with that guy.

[Alex]

It depends on how much they paid me.

[Chili]

Yeah. I cannot. I don't. Maybe you can do a little digging. I'd like to. What do you have to get? What do you have to pay? I just gave you the guy's resume, right? He won the Heisman Trophy. And we all know Johnny Menzel's had his things. The documentary was great,

[Rod Ryan]

but he makes money to go places. For sure.

[Chili]

Yeah. He gets paid to show up in places. Does he have.

[Alex]

There's 50,000 that Minry has to pay Manzel. And then it was 200,000 for the purse.

[Chili]

That was what he got.

[Alex]

So $250,000.

[Chili]

Okay. That's good money. That's good money for us.

[Alex]

I would do that.

[Chili]

That's good money for us. It's great money. Johnny Manziel getting into the ring and

[Alex]

like I might have some debts he's gotta pay.

[Chili]

That's buffoonery for.

[Rod Ryan]

For that guy job. Like is he working like at a college or a high school?

[Alex]

Well, he's a boxer.

[Chili]

One to know. When I watched. Was it a doc. It was a documentary on him, right?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Chili]

Johnny Manziel. And you know, he's still drinking, he's got his friends over at the house, whatever. You know, came across like he was. Okay, guys guy. I know that he's loved in A and M. And at the end of the thing they said they were. He was opening up a bar, a shot bar. Is he the right guy to be running a shot bar?

[Alex]

Actually the perfect guy. I don't know if he opened it up. Was it in College Station? If it was, he's probably just printing money.

[Chili]

I thought that's kind of how they ended the doc with him. Like he was going to be a bar owner. And of course it was going to be an A and M. Where else would it mean anything? Nobody would care about Johnny Manzel's bar. Else I. You know, you still talk to A and M people and they love him. And I get it. It was fun. What a run. But seeing him out here fighting, it was kind of sad to me to watch. I mean, an island boy was on the card.

[Alex]

Eli Manning would never.

[Chili]

Oh, no. Nobody was classy. Nobody was.

[Alex]

Jackson Dart would never do anything.

[Rod Ryan]

$250,000.

[Chili]

Where was. Trump was in New York York City. And Trump was talking and he just kept going back to Jackson Dart.

[Alex]

Well, he has great legs, like over

[Chili]

and over and straight legs. Jackson Dart was there.

[Rod Ryan]

Is that what Trump says?

[Alex]

He introduced him. He thought Jackson Dart, to be fair, probably thought MAGA meant make America giants again. And so he was really trying to just expand the brand. But you know what he was doing.

[Chili]

But Trump was just. I happen to catch a little bit of it. He's going off script and he's just. Just look at his two truck legs. Wow.

[Alex]

He could be a woman around him.

[Chili]

He just couldn't stop bringing up Jackson Dart. And then like, I don't. I don't know if girls flag football came up and then like, what do you think Jackson Dart could do against those girls? Like, what are you saying right now? Like, he just, he kept working his name.

[Alex]

He was riffing.

[Chili]

He just kept riffing and working Jackson Dart's name, which.

[Alex]

I get it. You see Jackson Dart and you're like, I could. I could just go on for days about Jackson.

[Chili]

So I get it. All right. All right. We're gonna do it. I wanted to play the freeway battle last week. It was terrible. All right. I'm still gonna make you wait to find out the freeways after the break. So two listeners in their car, each has to represent a different freeway here in town. And then this is where you kind of alternate rattling off the answers. You go back and forth, you can't pause. And then I'll give you. Give you. So I'm gonna give you the freeways and I'm gonna wait to get you on. And then I'll give you the subject that you guys are going to be talking about. Okay? Is it going to be I10? Is it going to be 45 North south, what you guys call the Gulf Freeway, but where's the East Tex Freeway?

[Rod Ryan]

Don't ask me stupid questions.

[Alex]

Come on.

[Rod Ryan]

You know I use my GPS to get home.

[Chili]

I can't deal. I can't deal with the names.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, different names.

[Chili]

Isn't that like 59 and then sometimes people, people call it 69. And then there's.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, that's what I call it,

[Chili]

the good old 610 loop. Everyone knows that.

[Alex]

610, am I right?

[Alex]

Doesn't make it seem like it's open.

[Chili]

It doesn't look open. Their last entry on their Facebook page is May of 2025. And then that's.

[Alex]

That's it.

[Chili]

And then there's another thing online that says it's permanently closed.

[Alex]

So hard to compete with the Dixie Chicken up there.

[Chili]

Made it two years bar business, am I right?

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, no.

[Chili]

Seems like it's a good idea. I'd learned the hard way on that one. Alex. I had to learn the hard way on that. Don't open a bar. Just go to bars. Let other people have the headache. Alex, what's trending?

[Alex]

Ferrari is trending. They just unveiled their first all electric car. So people freaking out about that Ferrari. Ferrari gone away now. Like now they're getting soft being all electric.

[Chili]

Well, the. The Mustang. The Mustang's got an electric one too, don't they?

[Alex]

Yeah. A lot of people are saying they're soft too. Personally, I'm a Chevy guy myself.

[Alex]

French Open is trending. Lots of tennis going down and Roland Garros. Who you got? You got Jessica Pugula. You think she's Peguls is doing it.

[Chili]

Always fooling with Pula. That's what Rod always says.

[Chili]

I've never said that.

[Alex]

He always says that. James Harden is also trending. He says that the Cavs outplayed the Knicks and were the better team despite being swept by the Knicks. So I don't know if you know this.

[Chili]

They didn't win any games.

[Alex]

Games, usually you're not the better team if you lose all four games in a row. But that is with Trinity. And now you can fight the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

I liked it.

[Chili]

Yeah, we need to play that more often. I like getting the two freeways against one another. We'll do. I'm going to write that down. We're going to get back to that one a little sooner than we do and we'll get some other freeways involved. I45 north with the win over the B side. Have you guys been doing much on Facebook or Instagram? I feel like over the weekend some kind of algorithm changed. I have more sponsored stuff.

[Alex]

Oh, they definitely push more sponsored crap.

[Chili]

A lot of.

[Rod Ryan]

Of health stuff on Instagram.

[Chili]

Yeah. Like, I mean, it could be Steve Aoki talking about, you know, pooping.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Like you're not seeing your friend's stuff, you're seeing ads.

[Chili]

And, and it says on there, it's pretty transparent. It says sponsored. But there's a lot of health stuff.

[Rod Ryan]

That's you, right? Specifically. Right.

[Chili]

But I don't. I don't recognize Facebook anymore. It's just, I didn't sign up for any of this. It's just pushing this stuff out. Out to my. To my algorithm can be box and I don't see anything. I don't see anything that my friends are doing unless all my friends just left Facebook and Instagram.

[Rod Ryan]

I just didn't want to see the ad.

[Chili]

It is all sponsored content right now. It's like something happened this weekend. I feel like it's. It looks that much different to me. Dude, did you see outdoor hockeys coming to Dallas?

[Alex]

Yeah. I'm not gonna go to that, though.

[Chili]

I don't know about that.

[Alex]

Worst place you could ever put it.

[Chili]

It's the closest that we have professional hockey.

[Alex]

Not real hockey. Not if it's in Dallas.

[Chili]

So the Vegas Golden Knights will be playing Dallas in the stadium.

[Alex]

Maybe. The Stanley cup champion. Vegas Golden Knights.

[Chili]

Yeah, possibly.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, dang.

[Alex]

They're gonna sweep the Avalanche.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait, where is it happening?

[Chili]

In the football stadium. So they. They started this years ago, but they started this years ago. The. The. The Sabers held the first outdoor game. And I don't know how many years this was. This is going back 15.

[Alex]

The Winter Classic.

[Chili]

The Winter Classic is what kind of brought it back.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. And they have it at, like, places where hockey doesn't usually take place outside.

[Chili]

Well, they just. They do it in football stadiums.

[Rod Ryan]

Football stadiums.

[Chili]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

But isn't the Dallas one inside?

[Alex]

Well, because it's an indoor stadium.

[Rod Ryan]

But they make a big deal calling it outside.

[Alex]

They did it at the Cotton bowl before.

[Chili]

Yeah, but it's an outdoor open air. Oh, open air.

[Alex]

Sort of. It's like a little slit.

[Chili]

Correct. But it's a football stadium, so think about a little hockey rink.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chili]

On a football field.

[Rod Ryan]

I've seen it on TV before.

[Chili]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It's cool. Yeah, but it's not really outside, so it's not cool.

[Chili]

Well, I know you're going to crap on everything Dallas.

[Alex]

I will. Absolutely. Yes.

[Chili]

It's like it's the closest that we're going to get to a hockey game. It's pretty cool. You can go and just cheer on the Vegas Golden Knights.

[Rod Ryan]

And now and Golden Knights fan go

[Chili]

there with your hatred of Dallas. And I don't want to go in that. Get after the other team. That's pretty cool. Anyway, I just have a lot of people on our website. On our website. Three things you must see today. I know. Ashley with an eye sent this to me and I saw it over the weekend. Did you see the woman paragliding?

[Rod Ryan]

No. It happened.

[Chili]

She's paragliding in Austria. She survived. She was struck midair by a plane.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait, what?

[Chili]

All captured.

[Rod Ryan]

No, she wasn't.

[Chili]

Yes. So she's hit by a plane as she's out paragliding. And then she was able to deploy her emergency parachute and she safely landed on the ground. This is wild.

[Rod Ryan]

There's a video.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't want to watch.

[Chili]

Three things. She lives. She's fine.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know.

[Chili]

She's fine. There's a homeless veteran in Texas. This is a sad story. Okay, but hang on, stay with me. He was forced to leave his dog outside of a fire station. And he said I can't take care of the dog anymore. Leaves it at the fire station. Okay. And he's a veteran. So firefighters, they're like, okay, yeah, we're gonna definitely care for this dog. They also stepped in, they found the veteran. They're helping him rebuild his life. They hooked the man up with a donated rv. The dog was adopted by the firest station. He's part of the crew now. And the veterans getting all kinds of assistance with housing and medical needs. So it's kind of a win for everyone. So that story's on there. And then China and Japan like they have all these like awesome game shows that once in a while make their way over to here. There's a competition in China. The name of it is secretly eating in class.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, tell me more.

[Chili]

That's it. You gotta go look. So the three things you must say. See today there's some really, really good stuff, some really good content to look at on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog page. Buzz, rock and alternative for Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am 94.

[Chili]

5 the buzz that's returned to dust and bored Rod Ryan show on this tattoos day. Mostly clouded skies, Nothing over a 30% chance of rain today. Highs of around 89 baby. Metal hailstorm tickets coming your way at 9:10. I got mo with Houston's Headlines one final time please. Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. The U.S. military conducted what it called self defense strikes in southern Iran yesterday. They were targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats, boats that were attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US has effectively secured its goal of quote, a world that no longer has to be in fear or worry about an Iranian nuclear weapon. That's great, right? Should we. That should be more of headlines if

[Chili]

we can believe them. Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, true. Two terrible headlines out of Galveston over the holiday weekend. One, a teen was hospitalized with a shark bite. He was bitten offshore. The fishing boat he was on lost power on the way back to shore and the coast guard had to transport him to the hospital. So last we heard. And then a 10 year old boy was swimming near Surfside beach when he reportedly got swept away by a large wave. The Coast Guard was called in to help with that search. Authorities and Texas equisearch still searching for that young child. Tipping is trending on Tik tok again or still I feel like this is such a thing a Woman went viral. She posted on Tik Tok. She went in for froyo, right? She's going to a frozen yogurt place. She grabs her own cup, fills it herself, did her own toppings, waited in line, paid at the kiosk with Apple pay.

[Chili]

Not even a human being being, like, checking her out how.

[Rod Ryan]

And then the screen said, how much would you like to tip for who?

[Chili]

Right?

[Rod Ryan]

She's like, who's this money going to? She said the only interaction she had was when she was leaving, they shouted, have a good day. She knew that there was a kid

[Chili]

there, some kid was working, but had nothing to do with her servicing herself. And they're still asking for a tip.

[Rod Ryan]

Nutty, Nutty. I love tipping someone that does something for me.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Heck, yeah.

[Chili]

But that whole flip in the screen when you don't really do anything, it's maddening.

[Alex]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

Kyle Busch, also in the headlines over the weekend. He passed away last week at 41 years old. And we now know what he died from. Pneumonia that progressed into sepsis, leading to rapid and overwhelmingly associated complications. Vacations.

[Chili]

Brutal.

[Rod Ryan]

All came from a statement from his family. I know he had a race that was scheduled for over the weekend. His family showed up on Sunday at the race like his wife and his kids were there.

[Chili]

He's a nascar.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, right. Yeah. Horrible. So sad.

[Chili]

Did they do some sort of a fitting tribute to him and stuff like that?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes, it just. It was just. It was very soon and very emotional.

[Chili]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

Very sad. Drake, we talked a few weeks ago. He was releasing an album, album Iceman. And then he surprise released two other albums at the same time. All three albums debuted in the top three spots on the Billboard 200 chart. And they continue to break history. Rob, this is the first time in Billboard 200 history that an artist has held the top three spots at the same time. This is Drake's 15th number one album. The Iceman one is. So now he ties Taylor Swift with the most number one albums for a solo artist. The Beatles hold the record for most number one albums. They had 19. Drake is now 15.

[Alex]

That's crazy.

[Rod Ryan]

It is crazy. But those are Houston's headlines.

[Chili]

We got a little second here. I'm going to play a clip for Drake. No. Oh, listen to this.

[Rod Ryan]

Listen.

[Chili]

This is the Darkness. They're doing a song for the movie Masters of the Universe. Universe. Number one. Love the Darkness.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex]

Pretty perfect band for this.

[Chili]

It reminds me of when Queen did the old Flash Gordon soundtrack. And they're huge Queen fans.

[Alex]

I would have never known.

[Rod Ryan]

Sorry.

[Chili]

That was funny. Listen, It's so fun. If you want to go see this on the on the music blog page today. The Darkness, Masters of the Universe, the official song. The like a lyric video is out for it. All right. That's fun. This is even more fun. Yeah.

[Alex]

Astros got a win last night. They blew out the Rangers nine to nothing. Tatsuya Ime, Stephen Okert and Alember Santa combine to throw the 17th regular season no hitter in Astros history. They have now won four in a row and they're playing the Rangers again. Again tonight. Jason Alexander is going to be on the mound for the Strobes going up against the Rangers, Jack Leiter first pitch is at705 and you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks blew out the Cavs 130 to 93 to win the OR to sweep the Eastern Conference finals 4 to nothing. And in the Stanley cup playoffs the Hurricanes got by the Canadians in overtime three to two. That is what's going on in sports.

[Chili]

All right, we got one more hour together guys. Baby. Metal Hailstorm tickets coming up at 910 poppy tickets on Mo the Show. Houston's Rock, Houston's alternative all day and the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[TJ Watt]

This is pro linebacker TJ Watt and I'm back for another active drop with YPB by Abercrombie. I co designed this collection to stand up to my offseason training schedule. My favorite is a deltfit tank. It has deeper shoulder cuts for better mobility and it's the one tank I never have to adjust mid workout. So you know we had to call it the TJ Tank Shop. YPB by Abercrombie in the app online and in stores because your personal best is greater than anything.

[Chili]

Okay. 94. 5 the buzz Good morning Rod Ryan show on this tattoosday. Welcome to the 9 o' clock hour. Our fourth and final hour together. It's we got some great stuff coming your way. Keep it here. Appreciate you guys hanging out with us. Hope everybody had a great Memorial Day weekend. We have a lot of activity going on right now on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog page but brand new.

It's there for you and Munda. It's on the mundo. Yeah, mundo Made your six figs.

[Chili]

Guy's an animal, man. He's an animal. In and out 24 hours again. One of the his trips do it all went to what? Chicago?

[Alex]

Yeah. See the Cubs and the Astros.

[Chili]

I don't even know if I trust myself on a 24 hour flight right now, man. Flights are brutal.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chili]

Everything's cancelled and late and everything so bad right now. So. New York Post story. I wanted to go check it out. There are thousands of videos using this hashtag adult gap year.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Chili]

This is another one of those things that it's like, I just don't understand how people do it. People are living differently than me and I understand that New York Post claims that these gen zers and millennials are. Here we go. Burned out with corporate America. And they're looking to stop working for a little while and they're having these adult gap years. It's a mini retirement that they're taking.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Chili]

Can anybody afford this?

[Rod Ryan]

That's why I don't.

[Chili]

I, I certainly can anybody afford this?

[Rod Ryan]

I cannot afford this.

[Alex]

Apparently they can.

[Chili]

If you look. Adult gap year. Thousands of videos and a lot of them are ranting about, remember it used to be like a cool thing to talk about. Like people that worked hard. They're like, no, the hustle culture, it's not for me. I'm not doing it. I'm not having two and three jobs. They're not doing it. Not doing it.

[Alex]

I would imagine someone else is probably paying your bills.

[Chili]

If that's.

[Rod Ryan]

That would be a different life.

[Chili]

Not everybody can afford this. I can't.

[Alex]

I would not be living where I live now.

[Chili]

I can't afford to retire right now. I can't.

[Alex]

I don't think I'll ever be able to retire.

[Chili]

But even you know, you've been out there and these people are saying that they've been a part of the corporate grind for five years. But if you don't have a big family yet or a family at all to support, you may have a little bit of money squirreled away way. But a lot of these, it's good

[Alex]

to just burn it all.

[Chili]

It's many. Yeah, right. So it's mini retirements and they're using that money that they've saved. And a lot of people, if you look up adult gap year, a lot of people are going back home.

[Rod Ryan]

They have to live with their parents.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Or get to I guess spend time with.

[Chili]

So maybe your parents have retired, now you're in the house and you're mini retired and your parents are retired and

[Alex]

now you're back at home, you guys can go to like bingo, like four o' clock dinners.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Golden crowd, their discount.

[Chili]

A lot of people are blaming AI and it just, that's a catch all for everything.

[Rod Ryan]

Why is, are you blaming AI for this?

[Chili]

Well, I'm sure AI, AI is changing a lot of things. I know that.

[Rod Ryan]

I, I, I like in the job market.

[Chili]

Yes. Okay, so I'm not arguing that, okay, we're all going to get replaced by AI here. We know that's be going to to happen. So they said rather than push through what they call a deteriorating job that isn't the one that they signed up for, take a little time off and then once the dust set, you just think like this is going to get a management job.

[Alex]

When you go back

[Chili]

and then find something more intentional once the dust settles, you think that they're just going to wait around for, for you to be done. Like you decided now you're 40, you're just gonna backpack Europe. Like you do that when you graduate college, right? You don't do that now.

[Alex]

The gap here is between high school and college when your parents still foot the bill for all.

[Chili]

I get it, people. It's a reset.

[Rod Ryan]

It's, I love vacation too. It is really great.

[Alex]

Yesterday was awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Sleeping in.

[Chili]

I mean, is Tessa, right, retired?

[Alex]

No, she's doing indoor football league stuff.

[Chili]

Okay. She's golfing.

[Alex]

She's good at golf.

[Chili]

She's golf.

[Rod Ryan]

I think she's semi retired, paying her bills.

[Chili]

I, I just, I, I couldn't, it was never in the cards for me. I just, I don't, I don't have money. I don't have money at all. How do you, how do you breed?

[Alex]

How do you pay for stuff?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I'm hungry.

[Chili]

What is rent?

[Rod Ryan]

Rent.

[Chili]

How, how is it done? 22 years, bro. I don't feel like I can retire. I also feel like at a certain

[Alex]

point in life I realized that there's just friends that I have that are cool going into debt and I get like, I can't breathe when I have any sort of debt. Whether like I was, it's suffocating. I was in my 30s when I got a credit card because I just don't like having to pay a balance every month. And there's people that are just like, that's cool. I can put it on my card and I'm going to be in debt for a long time and I'm fine. Like that's, that's a fine way to live if that's the way you want to do it. I just can't. I have too much income anxiety about it. I always assume that I'm going to get fired today and then I'm going to have zero money forever to fall back on.

[Chili]

Yeah, I want like a, I want a 15 year, 20 year followup like

[Rod Ryan]

after the people that are taking the gap.

[Chili]

Whatever became of the adult hired in the management. What happened to the adult gap year kids? What happened to them? How did that work out?

[Rod Ryan]

Are they now?

[Chili]

Yes. Where are they now? 20 years. Somebody needs to do a project and it's like, hey, you were one of those adult gap years. How did it work out? Did you come back and find something? Did the dust settle? Are you.

[Alex]

But, and you're blaming AI for everything. Like my, my, my job every day is to slowly sabotage AI to where it can't effectively take over what I'm doing.

[Chili]

If you're taking a year off, it's

[Alex]

doing nothing but figuring out how to replace you. You have to fight against it.

[Chili]

It's like I just tell my get London. I'm going to go backpacking for a years of couple of months across Europe. I'm, you know, get yourself to school. You'll be fine. Don't worry. I, I'm, I'll write letters.

[Chili]

Funny animal pictures?

[Alex]

Drinking a beer.

[Chili]

I'd like to see a cockatoo drink a beer.

[Alex]

He's got the beer in his beak. He's dipping it all the way back. It's pretty funny.

[Chili]

I thought that was a picture of you all weekend. It was.

[Alex]

It was. What about a cat that's wearing a helmet?

[Chili]

Sounds hilarious.

[Alex]

That's pretty funny.

[Chili]

Sounds hilarious.

[Alex]

[Rod Ryan]

Monkeys are so silly.

[Alex]

They're pretty funny. So go to check out see some funny, funny animal photos. Start your week today at the world famous Rod Riding show page@the buzz.com

[Chili]

Rod Ryan. His job is to help you forget about yours. The Rod Ryan show. Weekday morning 6 to 10 on 945 the Buzz. 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Thank you for rolling with us. That's three days grace. They're going to be playing our Buzzerween show in October. It will be in October to remember around here for sure, man. Lots of shows. But it's. I mean it's completely underway. I went to go see Triumph. I mean it feel like the summer concert season kind of kicked off. Got to give that to Dave Matthews a couple weeks ago. Kind of got things launched over at the. At the Woodlands Pavilion. Hal and I, and then we saw Radio wizard there. We went to go see Triumph on Friday night night. Great show. Great show. I didn't. I missed Oil and gas. Greg. I couldn't find him.

[Rod Ryan]

There were so many friends there.

[Chili]

There's a lot of people there.

[Rod Ryan]

Greg.

[Chili]

I missed him. He said that he was having a good time.

[Rod Ryan]

That's great. You had a good time, too.

[Chili]

I had a great time.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Chili]

Yeah, it was awesome. It's just. That's a far place. That's a million dollars in Ubers to get out to Sugar Land.

[Rod Ryan]

That's funny.

[Chili]

You know what I mean? I'm not driving.

[Rod Ryan]

Drive that every day.

[Chili]

I'm not driving. But I, you know, I wanted to party and Hal was having his birthday, so we wanted to have a few pops. So it was a million dollars in Uber fees. Worth it for my friend Hal. That was great. I didn't see much about Machine Gun Kelly. Usually I'll get some people sending me reviews and pictures. I didn't see much on that, but there's just a lot of concerts. Poppy's gonna be playing the House of Blues. We're gonna have tickets for you on Mo the show coming up in J. Just a little bit. We talked about AI briefly on the show today. Just. It somehow worked its way into the story of millennials and Gen Z taking, like, mini retirements.

[Alex]

Is it a lot of millennials or is it mostly.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Why are you blending us for this?

[Alex]

It's not us.

[Chili]

It was the. The New York Post. Right. They were mentioning you guys both in there. So you and Gen Z.

[Alex]

We get roped in with a lot of Gen Z stuff that I feel like we don't do.

[Chili]

Go look up the hashtag. That's where. That's where it all is. And you'll be. You'll be surprised at the age of these people that are taking these mini retirements. It's. It's crazy.

[Alex]

Like, you as somebody that interviews people. If I was like, yo, dude, I took a year off in between applying for this job, you'd probably be like, I'm going to move you to the probably don't hire for.

[Rod Ryan]

I have some questions for. Sure, Sure.

[Alex]

I think a lot of people are going to end up in the probably don't hire folder because of that.

[Chili]

Like, where were you this year? Like, I. I'm. I'm noticing a big hole in your work experience. And then if that person came back with me, hashtag adult gap year, bro.

[Rod Ryan]

Maybe call it something ever.

[Chili]

Ever hear. Heard about it? Yeah, I talked about it on the radio. How did you do that? How'd you pull that off? In that story, they were blaming AI Somehow. Their jobs aren't Turning out to be that they way that they wanted. They want to wait till the dust settles. I don't see the dust settling on AI. It's kind of, I think it's just here. It'd be like, well, when, when the Internet came out, it's like, oh, when the Internet, when the websites are going to do it all. When these websites, when it slows down

[Rod Ryan]

on the Internet, I'll come back to

[Chili]

work, I'll come back and I'll just kind of hop into something, you know. Yeah. There is a Chinese tech company that is now taking money and 10,000 people have already pre ordered for this startup. It's an AI translator that turns your dog sounds into human speech.

[Rod Ryan]

Stop.

[Alex]

It doesn't really do anything.

[Chili]

There really isn't a lot of science behind this. There's nothing proving that the device actually works.

[Rod Ryan]

But 10,000 people have already bought it

[Chili]

at 118 bucks the translator costs. It hangs from your pet's collar and it AI is now studying. And just I remember, I remember seeing Elon Musk get an interview. It was before he launched Grock. Okay. And the way that he was talking about Grock, which is on like X Twitter, he said, granted, Grok's just. They're feeding Grok. They're feeding Grok information and it's learning and it's learning and it's learning before he launched it. They say that they're feeding this AI program all the dog sounds and it's determining what your dog is saying. So again, it hangs from your pet's collar and then it's AI. It's got the vocal patterns, the behavior, the body language, language. It figures out what your pet is trying to say to you.

[Alex]

It just regurgitates a bunch of random crap. Like that's all it's doing.

[Chili]

Yeah. It doesn't have a way to tell that. But when people open up a fortune cookie and they read that thing, message inside that cookie, they think it's for them.

[Alex]

Right. So you're gonna have your weird friend be like, my dog can talk now? Like that's not.

[Chili]

If people think of fortune cookies for them. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

It's only 118, Rod. You want to try?

[Chili]

I don't think you're gonna have full conversations with your dog. So I don't know if it's going to be a bust or it could be the greatest invention ever made. I haven't decided. Decided yet. I haven't decided. But speaking of AI, 15 people, 14 days, $500,000. The first fully AI generated movie has been made. I just saw that.

[Rod Ryan]

That's a bummer.

[Chili]

15 people, 14 days. And they just, they created a half a million dollars. They created a full movie. Not one actor or actress is real in the movie storyline. Everything, boom, it's out there.

[Alex]

Your boss is like, wait, I can do that?

[Chili]

Yep, yep, you're right. You're right. Just gonna wait for that to settle down.

[Rod Ryan]

Then I'll come back from vacation.

[Chili]

I'll just kind of hop in, you know, after I, you know, go see the world a little bit. Only Houston sounds like this before 10:00am The Rod Ryan show on 94. Five the bus. 94. Five the buzz. Good morning. Rod Ryan shows the Red Hot Chili Peppers with Black Summer Rob Ryan show on this tattoosday. Thank you, guys. Alex has his six picks up, six picks on the world famous Rob Ryan show blog [e-mail] just got hit up by other. We saw other John last week. Other John came in to visit. You know, he wins stuff sporadically and then he comes in, he picks it up, waits for, for the them to build up, then he comes in.

[Rod Ryan]

He's the keeper of our stats.

[Chili]

Yeah. And other John gave us all some coins. He's. He's gone online. We were Talking about the 250th celebration of America coming up. And it is a semi quincentennial.

[Rod Ryan]

Good job.

[Chili]

Okay. When I was a child, it was the bicentennial and that was the 200. 200. And I thought, man, 1776, everything was red, white and blue. Everything was patriotic. Everybody was like, all on the same page. Nobody was fighting. Everybody was just cool about the country. And then you have this coming up, this 250 year celebration, and there's like a UFC fight at the White House. And I just said to you guys, I said, it doesn't seem the USA branding, it doesn't seem to be. Be as big. And you guys said, no, you, you, it's everywhere. You said that it was everywhere. I still hold true. I went to the grocery store. I went. I was out. I still don't see it as much

[Rod Ryan]

as you guys, but you live in the heights.

[Chili]

But what John sent me is the U.S. the United States Mint, they are making coins. Yeah, because that was the other point that I made. I said every now and then you roll, you know, upon like a 1976 coin quarter. I'm like, look at this bicentennial quarter. It's cool. It's just kind of a cool thing. Like they, they thought enough of the 200 year birthday of the country that they minted coins for it. And then John said not so fast. They are minting coins.

[Rod Ryan]

Check it out, Rod.

[Chili]

US mint.gov and you can buy them for way more than what they say on the face value of the coins.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, that's because you have to pay to like ship them. And they're really heavy.

[Chili]

I guess so. So the half dollar does look pretty cool.

[Rod Ryan]

Those come out today.

[Chili]

Mo went. Yeah, those. They're coming out at noon today. Mo went straight to the gold. I did The American Eagle 20, 261 ounce gold proof coin.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you see how much it is?

[Chili]

$5,450 for a gold coin. I know, but I mean if you look at the price of gold now.

[Rod Ryan]

Is that on brand? It has to be.

[Chili]

That's a lot more. It's a lot more. Cuz they're striking it that it's the 250th. So they're going to get you more on that.

[Rod Ryan]

But yeah, yeah, I want that.

[Chili]

The United States Mint is selling coins for more than the face value of the coins. If you want to go buy them right now. John gave us all 250. John gave us all some dimes.

[Rod Ryan]

Dimes. I'm going to save them forever.

[Chili]

Bicentennial dimes. Thank you, John.

[Rod Ryan]

Really cool.

[Chili]

All right, well there's maybe one person that heard that whole bit will go. US mint.gov gotta get in there. It's like getting concert tickets. Mo's gonna be on there at noon.

[Rod Ryan]

I am.

[Chili]

She's gonna be on there noon. Sandwich.

[Rod Ryan]

[Chili]

What the queue looks like to buy coins.

[Rod Ryan]

Love it.

[Chili]

[Rod Ryan]

Well, I have a pair of tickets to see Poppy. They're gonna be at the House of Blues August 13, ticketmaster.com or if you know the show.
