When I went, it was packed.

[C]

It was last Friday here in the area. I know we've got some big choices to make. It's Texas primary elections. We head to the polls to vote on which candidate we want to represent our interests and our party on the ballot for the November general election. That's what we're voting on today.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Still no coffee since Wednesday. Yeah.

[C]

Yes. Our poll question today on the X. How many cups of coffee do you slam down in a typical day?

[A]

I got the poll question up if you want.

[C]

How'd you word it?

[A]

So how many cups of coffee do you slam down in a typical day?

[B]

I just want to make sure you nailed it.

[A]

Largest answer, 61% of our audience. One or two cups. 23%. No coffee for me.

[C]

1 3%.

[A]

One out of four people right now that have gotten on the X said no coffee. 15%. Three to five cups. Nobody has clicked six or more yet. It's real early.

[C]

You were like a two cup a day.

[A]

I was okay. Yep.

[C]

And you're doing great. You're thriving.

[A]

And I switched from the black tea because everybody's giving me crap. Dude, you're still getting caffeine. So I'm drinking green tea now.

[C]

You didn't do it for the caffeine. You weren't giving up caffeine.

[A]

Right.

[C]

But still wanted to prove those haters.

[A]

But people said I was being a wuss. I have to, like, listen to them.

[B]

It's your journey.

[A]

The man of the people.

[B]

You write your own story.

[C]

This all came up because there's a new national study showing that 93% of coffee drinkers say it gives them motivation. And 47% of them said they're motivated to go to bed earlier so they can get up and have coffee the next morning.

[A]

Like, one of the things you're looking forward to is jumping out of bed to get that cup of coffee.

[C]

Let's go. If and when Paramount. Paramount Skydance buys Warner Brothers Discovery. You've been seeing this in the news, right? You can expect that Paramount plus and HBO Max are going to merge into one streaming service. Alex, does that help your bill? We're getting cable Exactly.

[B]

Like we've been building towards cable since

[A]

the dawn of shelters.

[C]

Have cable.

[B]

Like, what I do too. Well, now you can bundle all these together, and it's like you can also pick which packages you want.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

So like cable.

[C]

The move is going to give them more than 200 million direct to consumer subscribers.

[B]

There'll just be three companies that run them all.

[C]

Your bill is going to go up because of this, right? HBO claims they're going to continue to operate with independence and as expected. Rod demand for tickets to see Metallica in their Vegas store Sphere residency has been incredibly high. They don't even go on sale until Friday at noon. I think Friday at noon.

[A]

The Sphere shows.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

They must have done some like you

[C]

register for the fan club stuff.

[A]

They're really good with their fan club.

[B]

I saw somebody's tweeted that they were like the billionth member, a billionth person in line. It was like, there's no chance you're getting tickets.

[C]

Oh, wow. They decided to add more dates to their stay in Vegas already. Even before the on.

[B]

They're gonna have so much fun.

[C]

No specifics have been released just yet. The current dates span through October. More info is forthcoming. But just know if you're planning on buying tickets, maybe open your calendar and check out your availability. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Go ahead, Alex.

[B]

The Rockets got a win last night. They got by the Wizards 123 to 118. Opera in Shangun at 32 points tonight to lead all players in scoring. Rockets are now 38 and 22 on the season. They're gonna have a couple days off before playing the warriors on Thursday. In football, the Texans made some offseason moves yesterday. They traded right tackle Titus Howard to the Browns for a fifth round pick. And then they got running back David Montgomery from the Lions. We heard about this right as the end of this show was happening yesterday. They got David Montgomery from the Lions in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and two draft picks. Montgomery had 2500 yards and 33 touchdowns in three seasons with the Lions and should add a lot to the Texans backfield. So Texas making some moves right now.

[A]

The good running back ready?

[B]

Yeah. He's. He's a beast. He's a little. He's a little up there in age as running backs go, but he's a stud. So he's going to score a lot of touchdowns for him and he'll help C.J. out. Down at spring training, the Astros played the nationals to a 33 tie. They don't have extra innings in spring training. They're going to have a day off today before they play the Orioles tomorrow afternoon. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

All right, let's go be busy today, guys. We're always busy. You know that first phone call. Always time for that. It's like jello. It just slides down so there's always room for the first phone call of the day. 713-212-5945. Let's go baby. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Wakey wakey. Hands off cupcakey. It's tattoos day. Should be our number one blog page today. Although the food stuff, it's that pancake day I was talking about. I rarely go early on the food deals but ye there's some kind of IHOP deal today. Yesterday was oh, people did get the $1 McMuffin. Yeah, but you were right. You had to go through the app and if you could be disciplined and not get up charged for getting coffee and adding all these great things to it, it was $1. And then you know, there was the tax that was attached to it. So a couple people, a couple of people did get a $1 egg McMuffin yesterday. What are the pancake deals today? I don't know. There's a couple different ones but it's all IHOP driven and that's on the food blog page today. So maybe that will rival. I mean people love pancakes. Maybe that will rival the tattoos day feature today. Shannon, I said he's dialed in. He's going for win number four. Fresh out of bed. Head to head challenge. We'll play at 6:20 and then home room. Love you the most because you're up early with us. We got robbed. We got completely robbed. There was some cool lunar mooney thing this morning. It was supposed to be awesome.

[C]

Did you see it? No, I didn't see anything.

[A]

There was too much fog. A total lunar eclipse happened early this morning.

[B]

Blood moon eclipse.

[A]

Wasn't it a red blood moon? You're right. You missed it. I looked up and I don't even know what time it was. I but you couldn't see anything in the sky so it's too foggy out there. What was I talking about? I love you guys the most in homeroom. Chris tape with the tickets on fun Fact flashback today torture 10. Alex knows all about it. He's gonna be loading in the clips to destroy nine of you. That's gonna be for sold out creed tickets at 8:20. And then a million other things we got to do today on the show. Every phone line is ringing today.

[D]

[E]

Hey, what's up fellas?

[A]

What's up? What's up, man? Good morning to you.

[F]

I can.

[E]

I can attest the lunar eclipse was a dud. It's too foggy.

[A]

Complete dud.

[E]

But Metallica sphere is not a dud.

[A]

Okay, talk to me.

[E]

My. My brother is a member of the fan club, and so on Friday, you could pre order package tickets for the weekend. So you have both tickets plus a hotel.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. Did he get it?

[E]

He was in line for three hours, and by the time he got there, what they. He was working from home, so he just kind of had it up on his computer on the side.

[A]

He was in a virtual line, and

[E]

by the time he got there. And this is on day one, everything was sold out except general admission, and the whole initial package price was not available.

[A]

So. So. So you guys, we got tickets, but

[E]

I'm telling you, with how. With how competitive it is, I am tempted to say we'll go one night and we'll sell the other one.

[A]

Okay. What kind of tickets?

[E]

We have two floor ticket.

[A]

Oh, okay. I'm happy for you.

[E]

That's all that was available by then.

[A]

I'm happy for you.

[C]

You're going to be in the building.

[A]

This is the one time that you. I'm not crapping on it, dude. Congratulations on getting in. This is the one time you don't want to be on the floor.

[C]

It's rough.

[A]

It's too close.

[B]

I know.

[E]

We were told 206 and 306 were the best. Of course, all that was available was the floor.

[C]

Of course.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

That's okay. It's. You're gonna be there, dude.

[A]

I've sat 400 level the two times that I've gone. One of them was the first row of 400, so I felt like it was good. Yeah, two and three are the sweet spots.

[C]

Four.

[E]

How are the acoustics at the 400 level?

[A]

Amazing, dude. Every single seat has a speaker under your ass you're gonna miss out on.

[E]

I've never been there, so this is all new.

[A]

Yeah, no, the sound in the seats is better than being on the floor. Every single seat seat has a speaker underneath you. It's unbelievable.

[E]

Well, now I'm going to cry. Now I'm going to cry all day.

[A]

You got in. You got in. It's going to be an unbelievable experience.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

[A]

I'm excited.

[G]

We're.

[E]

We're real pumped up for it.

[A]

Sell those other tickets, though. I'm trying.

[E]

I'm trying to get my brother on board. He's like, yeah, but it's no repeat weekend. I'm like, is it really worth that

[A]

sell the other weekend? Tell the other show dude. For sure. Andrew, congrats, dude.

[E]

I know.

[C]

Congrats.

[A]

Yeah, that's the. Thank you, Andrew. I appreciate you sharing. And it's not coming from a jealousy standpoint. I'm just saying the Sphere, it's not about being close to the band. It's about taking in the whole thing that is on the, the ceiling of the Sphere.

[C]

But if they sold out already before

[A]

on sale, you know, they could play there for a year.

[C]

They're gonna keep going, just go yearly thing.

[A]

No, they. Well, they have a world tour. I, I've got tour dates on the music blog page. So they have a limited time that they can be at the Sphere. Cuz they got to get over to Poland and, and Italy and they've got a tour. But I'm saying as long as like

[B]

Metallica is still around, like just throw them in the Sphere a couple times a year and they're going to just bank.

[A]

Think about this. You got the two shows programmed, right? Okay, the shows are programmed meaning whatever they're putting on the, on the screen. On the screen, it's programmed so you can kind of plug and play. It's like, okay, put that, put that floppy disc in, pop back in and you know what they use?

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

And they go in and play. Yeah. It's on a floppy.

[B]

Everybody knows that. Yeah.

[A]

Going back to the floppy, it's old school. All right. Congrats, Andrew. That's huge.

[C]

Awesome.

[A]

You don't want to be on the floor.

[C]

Hobby's gonna have the best. He's gonna be able to see the band right there.

[A]

Nobody cares about the band.

[C]

It's gonna be great.

[A]

All right, quick break. When we come back in a rec check for you. We'll find out what's trending and then we'll get set up to play the game.

[D]

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

[A]

5 welcome back Rod Ryan show. Guys, thank you for being in homeroom. We need you. Otherwise it'd just be me talking to Alex and Mo and Chili. They're sick of me. So I'm glad you guys are here getting things set up for Shannon. He's your current champion. He's two games away from hall of fame status. There's a lot of fog that you're dealing with out there.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

David Montgomery's trending. Texas traded for running back David Montgomery from the Lions yesterday, sending offensive lineman juice Scruggs a 4th and 7th round draft pick. But people are talking about him. He should be a good addition to the Texans backfield. And then Trey Young is trending. He plays for the Washington Wizards or he's a member of the Washington Wizards. He has never played a game for them. He was supposed to make his debut last night after being traded from the Hawks, but then he got into an altercation with officials and was ejected before making his Wizards debut last night.

[A]

What could you possibly probably argue about before the game?

[B]

He was arguing over a call, a call that was made before he had been checked into the game.

[A]

Okay. The game started but he had not, he had not played played in the game yet.

[B]

So they were like come out to Trey Young's Wizards debut. Jk. He'll play on Thursday. Maybe if you don't think you kicked out. But that's just training on 94 by the buzz.

[A]

It's funny.

[B]

All right.

[G]

Three.

[A]

Three. Okay. The first webcam was invented in 1991. The reason the webcam was invented, Computer science nerds at the University of Cambridge wanted to see if there was coffee in the break room. They put a camera on the coffee pot to know when the coffee.

[C]

That's some nerd stuff right there.

[A]

The very first webcam.

[G]

Why didn't I think of that?

[A]

Hey, you just get ready for your little segment, okay?

[G]

It's not so bad.

[A]

Oh, it's not?

[B]

Wow.

[A]

I can't wait to see how you present that as not bad yesterday. Here's another fun fact, though.

[G]

Please.

[A]

Baby elephants suck their trunks for comfort. Just like a baby sucks its thumb. That is fun,

[G]

Alex. Makes me happy.

[A]

One of the moms swat it away when they get a little older. Stop sucking your trunk. You're too old to suck your trunk. Let's stay. Let's stay in the animal kingdom here. Tigers are nearly invisible to their prey. Here's the cheat code. Most animals see orange as green. Tigers are orange because mammals cannot produce green fur. So orange is the next best thing. They're like, what? They're running around. Other animals see them as green, which. They're in the jungle. That's neat. Yeah. It's not fair. What. Wait a minute.

[B]

What happened there?

[A]

That's.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Here we go. You want to go. You want to play another game?

[B]

I. I don't know why that was there.

Historical documents signed by George Washington have started their trip around the United states for our 250th anniversary. So some of the most important documents in American history left the n National Archives. For the first time ever, they're on a plane.

[A]

Alex is obsessed with this stuff.

[B]

I'm going to steal the Declaration of Independence said you wanted something with historical documents.

[C]

Like, you got any George Washington music up in there? There is a rare 1823 engraving of the Declaration of Independence on this Freedom plane. The Freedom Plane national tour. Documents that forge the nation is only visiting eight cities. And I would not be talking about this right now if Houston wasn't one of them. Nice, Alex.

[B]

We can steal these things.

[C]

The Houston Museum of Natural Science will be hosting this. I know. Make sure you get your reservations for May. Rod. I know that sinkholes are one of your rational fears. What about quicksand? How do you feel about that one?

[A]

Yeah, I thought, like most people you see on the Internet, it was going to be a bigger problem in your life after you were kind of growing up.

[B]

You're one of the lucky ones.

[A]

So if you watched all those old Tarzans back in the day, they always got stuck in quicksand.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

A guy in Florida got stuck in quicksand.

[A]

What are we listening to?

[B]

Sandstorm.

[A]

What does that have to do with quicksand in it?

[B]

I don't know, man.

[C]

This guy had been missing since Valentine's Day. He was discovered over a week later, trapped in mud up to his shoulders.

[B]

And he's playing this song.

[C]

Some officer spotted his. Spotted his abandoned car close to some plant that produces the sand. Employees started looking for him, saw him in a pit. He was alert.

[G]

He could talk.

[C]

But he'd gone several days without food and water by then.

[A]

How about stuck in the middle with you or something?

[B]

I mean, I guess it says that it doesn't hit as much. That makes it feel like. Like what you would do if you were struggling.

[A]

All right, we're.

[B]

We're.

[A]

We're completely blowing mo story here. How long? He was stopped in the mud for how long?

[C]

Four days.

[A]

Okay, so what's the first thing you think of?

[B]

He's not gone after four days. What is.

[A]

Be honest to me. What's the first thing you think of? That he's stuck in the mud for four days? Nope. What's the first thing you think of?

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

He had to poop and pee.

[C]

Oh, I did.

[B]

When you do that, it just goes down.

[A]

He doesn't poop and pee.

[C]

No. I think it was probably stuck in his crevices.

[A]

He's just like.

[B]

The quicksand takes it. Careful.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

Looks like a drain.

[C]

And I thought it also squeezed your body, like. I thought it would just, like, suck him up.

[A]

Well, I don't think they mentioned quicksand specifically on here. It's mud that he's in, but that

[B]

was kind of bad.

[C]

Quicksand, A plant that produces sand. He was sad about a breakup.

[A]

All I can think of is Jim Carrey and dumb and dumber. Just let it go, man. Just let it go. The guy probably held it for a while, and then he had to sit

[C]

there, try and get more details.

[A]

He just had to just poop and

[B]

pee and make a decision in that mud.

[C]

Can we share some sad news real fast?

[A]

You didn't think of that first.

[C]

No snacks. Are you looking at me? The beloved Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell shared some news with fans yesterday. He's got cancer. But just like his character Ash Williams, he says, quote, I'm a tough old son of a bee. He expects to be around a while. It's not curable. He didn't say what kind of cancer. He said it is treatable. And he canceled all of his con appearances through the summer. But he'll be back.

[A]

I think if you saw a picture of Bruce Campbell, you might recognize.

[C]

I did. And he has quite the resume. He's been all over the place.

[A]

Yeah, he's just a B movie guy. Yeah.

[C]

But he does all those Comic Con things. Like, he's always at all of those, too.

[A]

Yeah, he's a huge draw for those fans.

[C]

I hope you've had your fill of Nine Inch Nails for a while.

[A]

Have not.

[C]

Trent Reznor just dropped a possible bombshell during a concert in Tulsa on Friday night, telling the crowd he isn't sure the band will tour again after their current tour runs.

[A]

I don't believe anybody. I might kind of believe this. He's so successful at scoring movies.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

You know, and maybe he is. You know, he's my age, probably maybe a year older than me. He might be aging out of this angsty running around on stage thing. He's so successful. He's an Academy Award winner.

[C]

I didn't realize that.

[A]

Yeah. So do we believe him the way

[C]

that he said it? That maybe there is kind of organic and real.

[A]

No more Night is Nails.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

The grand tour scheduled to end March 16th. Hey, those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Take it, Alex.

[B]

Rockets got a win last night. They got by the Wizards 123 to 118 Opera in Shanguna at 32 points on the night to lead all players in scoring. Rockets are going to have a couple of days off before playing the warriors on Thursday. In football, the Texans made some off season moves yesterday. They traded right tackle Titus Howard to the Browns for a fifth round pick and then they got running back David Montgomery for from the Lions in exchange for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and two draft picks. Montgomery had 2500 yards and 33 touchdowns in three seasons with the Lions and should add a lot to the Texans backfield that already has Woody Marks and Nick Chubb in it. In baseball, it's big training. The Astros play the Nationals to a three to three tie yesterday. They're going to have a day off today before playing the Orioles tomorrow afternoon. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

All right, thanks guys. Pretty good. Pretty.
