[C]

What you got in Houston's headlines?

[A]

The Senate had a busy night last night. They passed legislation early this morning to fund immigration enforcement agencies. They did one of those 18 hour back and forth overnight before voting right before 4am our time sort of situations. $70 billion legislation to fund I and border patrol through the end of Trump's term is where we landed. We're dodging showers during our Friday morning commute. Yeah, we see y'. All. Today's storms could once again bring heavy rains, brief flooded streets, along with lightning. Saturday afternoon is actually looking to be the busiest. It's not going to rain all day on Saturday, but right now it's looking like storms are going to wake us up. Saturday morning widespread for the afternoon and evening, like 1 to 7pm as you're looking at your plans, that's. This is a similar case for Sunday too. We have been seeing celebrations all week long, but today is officially National Donut Day.

[C]

Rod, now you just had a donut day.

[A]

Today is the official day. They've been celebrating it all week with all the different specials like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin.

[C]

Okay, so I feel like we did this a couple of weeks ago.

[A]

Time to make the donuts. Today's the day. And if you're in the mood for an argument, I have. I'm gonna post this ranking for classic donuts, from best to worst. Obviously, number one, the glazed round classic donut. No one can fight that, right?

[C]

I think you can fight that.

[A]

Ah. If you want to fight.

[C]

I think that's the most popular donut, but that's the one that you get like in mass amounts because.

[A]

Because you have to take it to church.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

It's like the pepperoni pizza of donuts where like, if you have a problem with this. Shut up.

[A]

You should.

[C]

Yeah, but it's not the goat donut. Anything filled with jelly or cream or blueberry Boston cream.

[D]

I think regular glaze. Like that's the OG I can't.

[A]

I can't do your cream filling, Rod.

[C]

I think I go back to your. Don't go back to your thing pizza. It's cheese pizza. The glazed donut. The glazed donut party has a pepperoni pizza. Well, everybody likes pepperoni. Wait till you get those little kids out there. Pepperonis. They also don't eat a lot of donuts.

[D]

They have done a hole for kids.

[A]

Always sprinkles at my holes with a cheese pizza. Longtime Hollywood actors dead after a shocking stabbing. Cops say this guy accused of killing him is his girlfriend's son. Okay, so we're learning more and more details. According to LAPD, 81 year old actor James Handy, whose movie credits include Top Gun, Maverick, Jumanji. You recognize this guy?

[C]

I had to look him up. And then you're right.

[A]

You know him, right?

[C]

Once I saw his face, I'm like oh, that guy. Character actor like you said.

[A]

James Handy, who was found dead Wednesday morning in front of a home. Stab wound to his chest. Police say now the suspect, a 44 year old, made a very bizarre 911 call before officers arrived. It was his girlfriend's son. That's terrible, horrible, horrible story. But you're see his name in the headlines today. And then dad Rock. You probably think what, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Van Halen. No, millennials are not now dads. So we just have to own this list. Blink 182. Creed, Fallout Boy, Foo Fighters. Dad Rock got cool Green Day.

[C]

Alex, you and your dad Rock. I got a dad Rock tattoo now. Oh yeah, he's got a Blink 182 dad rock tattoo.

[A]

They're number one on the dad Rock list. Those are Houston's headlines.

Something like.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

A little yacht rock this morning in fun fact. Well, the original lyrics of Rupert Holmes classic, the song is called Escape the Pina Colada Song. His original lyrics were, if you like Humphrey Bogart and getting caught in the rain. That was going. That was the working. Those were the lyrics forever. Until the last moment. And then he thought, well, I've already mentioned Humphrey Bogart in a couple of other songs. Who cares?

[D]

Oversaturated.

[C]

He referenced that. Were you referencing Bogart in a couple of other songs? So he changed the lyrics to if you like pina coladas. And then we have, well, I gotta get rid of something here. Maybe get rid of that head to head there for me. Yeah, there you go. So, yeah, so he put in pina colada, even though he thought they were ass.

[A]

Like, he didn't like the drink.

[C]

He didn't like them. He said they tasted like KO Pectate and diarrhea medicine. Oh, wow.

[A]

Weird.

[C]

All right, moving on. All the planets in the solar system, and my friend Alex likes to include Pluto because that's what he learned when he was in school. So if you take all the planets, including Pluto or whatever number it is now, you could fit them between the Earth and the moon. Although it'd be a tight squeeze. They would fit.

[C]

When I didn't have time.

[A]

I must have forgot.

[C]

I had a friend in radio.

[A]

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[C]

Back when it was all shock jockey.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[C]

And this radio show sounded a lot different back in New Orleans. This morning.

[E]

Show.

[A]

I've heard stories.

[C]

He claimed to have his little stunt guy go in. Britney Spears was in town. He claimed that he got a hold of a pair of Britney Spears panties.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

It was a different time back then, right?

[A]

Right.

[C]

Chopped them up. People came down like confession or like communion.

[A]

And they pitched them up. I don't want to know.

[C]

They. They chopped them with little pieces. And guys came down and ate. Ate them.

[A]

They ate them?

[C]

Yeah, like communion. Like, like in church. They all lined up and they ate

[A]

the place they thought was right.

[C]

And this guy was notorious for lying. There was no. They were a fresh pair. But still, these guys ate panties.

[A]

Don't start lining up outside our radio station today, y'.

[E]

All.

[C]

Radio used to be so fun.

[A]

Not happening.

[C]

Miss a minute. 94. 5, the buzz is with you in your pocket. Tell your smart Device to play 94.5The Buzz on iHeartRadio. 94.5, the Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Oh, we're getting real close now, Alex, like he did last Friday, he's gonna give you guys listening to the radio this morning, calling into us a chance to win $500. He's got a question coming up in his sports. He'll tell you all about it. But make sure you know our number. 713-212-5945. Same number you're using for the beer and all of that stuff. But we're gonna do this whole transaction before we give away the beers today. 80% chance of thunderstorms today. 50% chance. Chance on Saturday, 30% chance on Sunday. There we go. Mo, what you got for Houston's headlines, please?

[A]

Oh, you know, some awesome stuff going down in D.C. yesterday. Actually, it happened 18 hours overnight while we were sleeping. The Senate passed legislation early this morning to fund immigration enforcement agencies. They did one of those 18 hour back and forth that ended with a vote shortly before 4am our time. The 70 billion dollar legislation will fund ICE and Border Patrol for the end of Trump's term. Yesterday, Alex broke the news that the Houston Rockets are bringing back the fan favorite as the franchise unveiled a new visual identity centered around their iconic ketchup and mustard color scheme.

[C]

I saw him. Why was the kid freaking out yesterday? Oh, he's right there. Ask him. Why were you freaking out yesterday? Bad.

[A]

He doesn't like him.

[C]

The color combination is great. That's it. You just don't like how they did it.

[D]

You could have just done the jerseys better.

[C]

You don't like the execution of it?

[D]

Yeah. Jersey's gotta go. We lose in those every single time we play.

[C]

I like it. I thought it looked good.

[A]

You can purchase them right now through rocketshop.com and get on a mailing list when the new jerseys become available. But to celebrate the launch, they're doing a retail pop up today outside the George R. Brown. So from 10 till 8pm They've got a bottle, bunch of old Rockets players doing signings, and a bunch of Whole cool stuff going on down there. Okay, anybody got big plans tonight,

[C]

Friday night? Well, Friday is the day that Chili goes out.

[A]

This is Chili's night.

[C]

Well, but not really at night. He goes out after work.

[A]

Okay, fair. Because this new research study I found says that the average age when people start to plan their social calendars around their sleep is 32. So I think Chili falls in that in more ways than one.

[C]

He's a biscuit over 32.

[A]

He's a biscuit over 32. And he plans his social life around his sleep.

[C]

So I'm trying to see if I'm hearing this correctly. So 32 becomes that age where you're

[A]

gonna choose sleep over. Like, raging all night.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

You remember the days.

[C]

I do remember the days.

[A]

And then for a while, I was like, oh, I can do it it one night during the week. Like, I can go out.

[C]

I didn't always do morning radio.

[A]

Oh, really?

[C]

I used to be fun. I used to be fun. So when I did what you call afternoon drive, like what Teresa does, it was my first time leaving home. When I left Buffalo for New Orleans, I was the afternoon guy. Afternoon drive guy. So we had Stern in the morning, and then I did three to seven. Well, three to seven. Seven o' clock.

[A]

You were out.

[C]

I went out and got in Trouble.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So 7 o' clock would roll around p.m. and I was also, like, the music director. And I had some other jobs at the station, so I had to be there in the morning.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But on more than one occasion, the program director, like, the wizard, he's like, were you wearing that same outfit yesterday?

[D]

I'm still here.

[C]

Shut up. I went out. I went out all night and then

[A]

made it in the next morning.

[C]

Didn't change my clothes.

[A]

You're so strong.

[C]

Nothing closed in New Orleans.

[A]

I'm just saying.

[C]

And then I would show up for work the next day. I'm like, okay, fresh as a daisy, ready to go.

[A]

Brad, what if someone asked you, like, hey, do you want to meet us for dinner? We're gonna be there at 8.

[C]

Okay. So yesterday, a bunch of parents were getting together for, you know, kids, last day of school.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

They wanted to meet at 6. I started freaking out. I'm like, can we. Can we do something a little earlier? Like, what do you mean? And then nobody rolls in till 6:30, quarter to 7. I'm like, freaking out now. I'm like, all right, nice to see you other parents, but, you know, I'm leaving in 10 minutes.

[A]

Hysterical. Everything. Our sleep revolves around everything.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

My whole life revolves around getting good sleep.

[A]

Beyonce just landed on the Forbes Richest self made women. Listen, Rod, it was the first time she's ever been on this list. That weirds me out.

[C]

Is she in the billion range yet? Yes, she's a billionaire.

[A]

She is a billionaire billionaire. She's worth $1 billion. But on this Forbes list, they put her at number 39 on the list. Now to be fair, it's a bunch of like tycoon business women that I've never heard of before and great for them. But Beyonce for the first time is. And this year she's tied with Rihanna, who's also worth $1 billion. Taylor Swift on this list. I see Oprah and I see Kim K. They all got lots of money.

[C]

But what is the title? Self made.

[A]

Self made richest self made women.

[D]

You know, the people that business that counts.

[C]

They accuse the Kardashians of like starting on third base. So Kim K. Is the only of

[A]

the sisters on the this list. She's number 25 with $1.9 billion.

[C]

I thought Kylie was a billionaire.

[A]

I thought so too. But maybe she just didn't make the enough.

[C]

No, the mom got busted for fabricating that story when she was real, when she was on Forbes.

[A]

Oh, geez.

[C]

Yeah, the momager. She fabricated how much money that she had with the cosmetic company. She lied. That's awkward. She was never a billionaire.

[A]

Oh geez. Hey, we got a new Prince album coming out new August 28th.

[C]

It was recorded back in 95. They had another single that came out last month, so they're kind of trickling them out before the grand release on August 28th. Prince celebrations happening all over. Fans are ecstatic. But those are Houston's headlines.

[C]

Where's the money?

This one appears to be no strings attached. Free donut of your choice. No purchase necessary. That what that says to me is you walk in and you like boom, Krispy Kreme, right? You get a donut. You can also get like, you know, there's a dozen glaze for $2. When you purchase another dozen Dunkin Will give out a free donut with the the purchase of any beverage today. Tim Hortons doing the same. But their deal. Timmy Ho going all weekend. Now let's talk Shipley local.

[A]

Okay. You want to beat your all weekend long deal over there?

[C]

Tell me.

[A]

They're doing all month long at Shipley.

[C]

What do you get?

[A]

National donut month is back. One free classic glazed donut for all guests every Friday in June with any purchase. And then if you're one of their rewards members, you're saving up because they've got some really cool merch they're giving out.

[C]

Okay, so there's a rundown of the 24 classic donuts ranked from best to worst. I see why you gotta put the classic glaze round at at the top.

[A]

That's the top seller.

[C]

It's the pinnacle of donuts everywhere. But it's also, also the one that I don't want to upset anybody with that is like has a cream problem or like I feel is. Let me ask you this. Is coconut controversial? Is coconut polarizing or is not as

[A]

much as like pineapple on pizza, but

[C]

is coconut just awesome?

[A]

No.

[D]

Not everybody thinks that. I don't have a problem with coconut at all.

[C]

All.

[A]

But I don't think it's awesome.

[C]

Love it.

[A]

You love it?

[C]

I love coconut. I do. I think coconut people are going to

[D]

have a problem if you bring like a. Like just an assorted box and leave it out there.

[A]

The coconut one's going to get picked last is what he's saying.

[D]

I take the coconut one, would you?

[C]

The glazed round. That's, that's. It's just not the best donut though. It's the one that like, it's going to. It's going to please the whole room, but it's not the best.

[A]

Have you ever a warm one?

[C]

Yeah, I didn't, I didn't grow up with. I didn't grow up with Krispy Kreme.

[A]

No. We had like a neighborhood when the

[C]

light was on, though. I had to learn that when I went to Florida for the first time. I think I was in Destin.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And that's when I learned when the neon was on that means they were hot. Something like that.

[A]

Hot and fresh.

[C]

That was a deal.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay. I'm. I mean, even if you just put rainbow sprinkles on a glazed donut, all of a sudden the one with the sprinkles becomes a better donut elevated. You know what I mean?

[A]

Most things are better with sprinkles though, Rod.

[C]

It's just it's better.

[D]

That is true. Most things are better than sprinkles.

[C]

Any alteration of the glazed round donut? Like the French cruller?

[A]

What's that?

[C]

I think that's a glazed round donut. But it looks like a truck tire. It's like the wheels is what we

[D]

used to call them.

[C]

It's the snooty French cut cousin of the glazed round donuts.

[D]

Makes me like it less textured.

[C]

It looks like a truck tire.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

The French cruller is better than a glazed round donut. And then if you start adding cream to it, it's better. Why are you making that face?

[A]

I don't want cream in anything.

[C]

Why?

[A]

Because when you squeeze it, it just like.

[C]

Yeah, it goes down your cheek.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Same with the jelly filled. I. I just cannot.

[D]

And then at the store, they have to, like, have the hole in it where you can see it all.

[C]

And you're like, now I grab it on the wrong end.

[D]

Now it's all over my hand. I don't want to do that. Like, just the regular glaze is safe.

[A]

They did no one bring donuts this morning?

[C]

The donut deals, they better. All of the rankings, all of this. You know how much we love talking about starving, yapping about food around here as I'm eating my protein pretzels. These things suck. Okay, I will take a round glazer way over these protein pretzels right now. All the donut information. There's a link up. National Donut Day. What are we doing this hour?

[A]

It did say someone did ask me if you jump the whole time or if you take a break.

[C]

I have to take a break. Are you kidding me? Just to be clear, what am I, Richard Simmons? I can't jump for that whole duration. That song's three minutes, three and a half minutes long.

[A]

Give him some grace, Ally.

[C]

I gotta take three different breaks during that song. Ally, your caller, number 10.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

Holy cow.

[A]

That's crazy.

[C]

Super crazy. What does she want?

[A]

Wolf mother. Ticket. June 8th, House of Blues. That is Monday. Congrats, Ally.

[C]

Whoa.

[E]

You know what's funny is that my

[A]

husband told me I was calling for nothing and said I wasn't going to get through. So I hope he's listening to this. Let's give him a shout out. Ally. What's his name? Thomas. Thomas.

[C]

You hear that naysayer?

[A]

It Thomas, Ally is a lucky gal. And you're a lucky, lucky to have her.

[C]

Yeah, you know what? I wouldn't even take him with you. Yeah, he didn't believe in you at all.

[A]

We did.

[C]

Now, you and Thomas, do you guys ever go on vacation together?

[E]

We do.

[C]

Are you more of the. When you go somewhere you like to get out and about and see all the things or are you guys more. You go on vacation and it's more of a relaxing situation? There. There really are two things for sure. See all the things. I like you. Yeah, I like you. I. We're going to get along just fine, Ellie. We are. Hang on the. Hang on the phone for me, okay? We're going to set you up with your girls. So just this annoying term that's floating around on the Internet. Internet right now. The plop vacation. Plop, plop. It's exactly what it sounds like. And you know, you know I can't be in the same room as these people. I can't.

[D]

It sounds like a vacation. Is that what it sounds like?

[C]

This weird new travel trend? It's brand new, guys. Somebody just invented this. This new travel trend getting some traction. Of course it was on Instagram. So it's got to be real. It's called the plop vacation. Now, some people are also referring to it it as fly and flop or flop and drop.

[A]

Flop is cute.

[C]

Fly and flop or the flop and drop vacation. So instead of cramming like Ally and me, you want to get out there and you want to get out, do some sightseeing and do the excursions and have a nice packed itinerary. The idea is to basically just show up to where you your destination is and plop, plop dream. Plop vacation.

[A]

Amazing relaxing.

[C]

You can do that in your backyard.

[A]

But I don't.

[C]

You can just plop in your backyard home.

[A]

There's stuff to do.

[C]

The experts say that what's the sense in coming home from vacation feeling exhausted because you were just trying to do everything.

[A]

It wouldn't hurt you to just sit still for a minute.

[C]

Okay. But it wouldn't.

[D]

You'd be fine.

[A]

It'd actually probably be good for all of us.

[C]

Let's just say you go to every single day, you go to Rome. Okay, Rome.

[A]

This is a different scenario.

[C]

No, it's not.

[A]

You don't go to Rome.

[C]

What do you go to the nicest hotel in Rome? They got the beautiful, they got the most beautiful Roman pool and that whole thing. They got the most beautiful pool setting and swim up bar and little Romanites bringing you drinks every 10 minutes and

[D]

beautiful foods called Romanians.

[C]

Do you just sit there at the pool, you're in Rome and not go see the Colosseum?

[A]

No, I do not.

[C]

What do you do?

[D]

Different scenario.

[A]

It's totally different.

[C]

What's that?

[D]

It's not a beach destination. If you go to a place where the beach is the majority of what you're going to be doing, like, that's different, right? Going to Rome, you're going to Paris or like a city like that. That would be like, if you go to New York City, you're not going to the Hudson river and just hanging out.

[A]

Exactly.

[D]

That's your thing. Whatever. But like if you're going to Hawaii, I don't care if you don't go see stuff.

[C]

There's stuff to see, dude.

[D]

But like also there's a beach and it's Hawaii.

[A]

I would probably hike if I was in Hawaii. At least, least one day.

[C]

But you want to go to multiple beaches. You want to go do the road to Hana. You, you want to, you want to go up on top of a volcano and see the sunrise above the clouds flopping, though.

[A]

I need to just spend some time relaxing.

[D]

You Jamaica, dude, that's, that's floppage right there.

[C]

Okay, take me back. Go ahead, Alex, take me back.

[A]

Alex's honeymoon.

[C]

Don't even get started. Think about.

[D]

Yeah, I was not like that.

[C]

Did you get a beachside massage? No.

[D]

You got a couple's massage. Day one.

[A]

Okay, that counts.

[D]

It was awkward as hell.

[C]

What do you mean?

[E]

Why?

[C]

I don't.

[D]

Because they like started out and they're like, light these two unification candles.

[E]

Oh.

[C]

There was a lot of stuff now

[D]

to tell each other. Two affirmations about one another. I was like, can we just. I'm out. No. And then we just, we didn't expect any of that. So everybody was like, okay, I like that you like me.

[C]

We're on a honeymoon, man.

[B]

We, you.

[D]

We're obviously affirming one another. Let's. Let's just get to the massages. What are we doing? We're wasting time.

[C]

Yeah. Like, just, let's start working on These knots?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay. I'm not, not talking. I'm not here to talk.

[D]

Other than that, it was great. But we didn't do any beachside ones.

[C]

Oh, okay. I thought, I thought it was an outside one.

[D]

We did the cabana thing where they just have, like. It's basically like that, like, little pillowy bed thing.

[A]

That's awesome.

[D]

You just get to sit down. Like, one more red stripe, please. One more red stripe. Another red stripe. And a red stripe for the lady occasionally.

[C]

Did you guys go into the the city at all?

[D]

There was like, a jerk chicken shack. You went there right outside.

[A]

Look at him. He's so adventurous.

[C]

But there was no, like, downtown market that you were interested in. Exclusive.

[D]

Like, I didn't care.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Like, it was.

[E]

They had.

[D]

All the stuff I wanted to do was sit on a beach and eat at the restaurants at the resort.

[C]

What you did. It is so stressful planning a wedding that I, I, I can understand the plop, ploppiness of wanting to do something like that after a wedding. A wedding is straight stressful. That's why it seems.

[D]

And I know you went to Paris or you went to Italy.

[C]

I went to Italy.

[D]

And like, Italy sounds like an awesome vacation, but that would exhaust the hell out of me if you had to do, like, the wedding stuff. And then you're like, well, also, like, with day one, we're gonna go to the Coliseum. Then we gotta go check out the bath houses. Then we go, go see, See Paloma or Papillona or whatever it is.

[C]

Don't worry, little buddy. I'll pick you up. I'll carry on my back. We're gonna see everything.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I will carry you around like C3PO. I know it was fun, but I'd

[D]

be like, I just want to kind of chill.

[C]

I will get you to see everything. Okay. If I gotta put you over my shoulder and run, I will. I will get you everywhere. You got it.

[D]

Never gonna go, but I've always wanted to go, so.

[C]

But you understand. Then there's just. It's where you go.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You don't do a plop anywhere.

[A]

Not in Italy.

[D]

Okay. There's like a beachside something. Like, I don't care if you go to the beach. Like, if you're in Cancun, when you guys go to Cabo, you'll to have should just hang out, watch Blue October, and then go to the pool all day and hang out.

[C]

I'm not plopping.

[A]

What are you going to do?

[D]

Blue flop Tober is what they're going to be going by that week.

[A]

What are you going to be doing?

[C]

I don't know. I'm going to.

[A]

I'm not going to be able to find you. It's time for the show. Where's Rod?

[C]

You don't think I'm going to town?

[A]

I'm not going to town.

[C]

I'm going to town. I'm going to town. Look for Sammy Hagar. I mean, are you kidding me? I'm going to go to every bar looking for Sammy.

[D]

My word.

[C]

For sure, I am. First name.

[D]

Have you seen Sammy?

[A]

Sammy.

[C]

Sammy.

[D]

And it wasn't like working washing dishes at a restaurant where it was just kind of constant. You were a dishwasher. And if it was a 300 person wedding, you got 300 plates and 300 forks and 300 coffee cup. All at once.

[A]

All at once.

But I mean, hot, your hands are burning, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, but we would hear the music that was being played because it was. We were. We're back there, like I'm telling you, for minimum wage. Whatever minimum wage was back then, it. It. I think it was $3.35 an hour. I've never worked harder in my life. It was late at night. And this then we. We'd hop back into the catering truck, we'd go back to the catering stop and then my mom would have to come get me at like one in the morning.

[A]

No way.

[C]

I made 335 an hour. But we would hear all the songs that would be played at the weddings. And this is. I'm 16. That chicken dance was being played at weddings for sure. And Hokey Pokey celebrate by cooling the gang.

[A]

Ymca maybe.

[C]

Ymca. Oldtown Rock and Roll by his guy Bob. Yeah. So you know some Seeger.

[A]

I'm a big fan.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

No, you're not.

[D]

You hate Seeger. You didn't know.

[A]

I tried. I really tried.

[C]

Stolen Valor. I got six picks this weekend.

[A]

What do you wait to see?

[C]

I will crush it. I can't wait. All right, quick break. When we come back at a rec check for you. We'll find out what's trending and then. Oh, we'll get you those Motionless and White tickets. It's a great show. It's a full lineup, too. Mo will tell you all about it. Coming up, rock and alternative for Houston,

[A]

the Rod ryan Morning shot, 6 to 10am, the buzz 94.

[C]

5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Thank you for hanging out with us on this free beer Friday. Another case of beer coming your way at 9. Then it's open phones Friday, and then you guys get to kind of talk the whole rest of the way. Alex, I don't know if you saw this. It was trending. I thought it was a really cool video. I just kind of slapped it on the music blog page. Richie Sambora's daughter got married. Did you see this, Mo?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Richie Sabora's daughter gets married. They got a live band at the wedding reception. The band's doing Living on a Prayer. And Richie jumps up, grabs the guitar and starts jamming the guitar and singing at his daughter's wedding. And everyone's got their cell phones out. It's really cool. Richie Sambora seems cool.

[A]

I think so.

[C]

Bon Jovi seems like a dick.

[D]

I've seen Bon Jovi at a wedding where like the singer started doing Living on a Prayer. And I kept trying to get him to come up and he was very hesitant to go up because he can't sing. Well, that's probably why, because he can't say he made a big deal about it. And he did and then seemed a little annoyed.

[C]

Richie's part every. Richie's always party, too, but he's up there partying. I don't know if it's trending, but it's, it's one of those videos.

[D]

It could be a trend.

[C]

You need to go look at it on the music blog page today. He just looks like he's having a great time at his daughter's wedding.

[D]

So let's do all music trends then. Let's go. Taylor Swift, her song From Toy Story 5 we already talked about this week. It is out now. I knew it. I know you people are talking about it. I'm sure it's the greatest song ever.

[A]

You haven't listened yet?

[D]

I haven't had a chance yet, no. And then Madonna, you talked about this a little bit earlier today. She turned Times Square into a nightclub for a pride party and also to promote her new album, so knocked out Three Things all at once.

[C]

Was it, was it streaming on Grindr? I do not know. I think so.

[D]

That would make sense.

[C]

I think so.

[D]

Party.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

And then she performed for everybody there, too. So people are talking about Madonna. So that is his training on the Buzz.

[C]

Yeah, it was a surprise 15 minute show. And Madge. Madge is. She's lip syncing. But still, it's Madonna. You know, it's still a big deal when she does something. You got some tickets to give away?

[A]

I do.

[C]

You really made somebody say you yesterday with these.

[A]

I hope today's just as good. Motionless and white tickets. They're coming to the woodlands on July 25th on their sweat and blood tour. Lorna Shore fit for a king and static dress. You can buy them Ticketmaster.com or you can win them. I need someone very excited to be color. 1071-3212, 5945.

[C]

Still got one final case of beer in play. But Mo's got some awesome tickets for you right here on this rainy, rainy Friday. Hey, good morning. Rod Ryan show. Who's this is Daniel. Hey, Daniel. What part of town you from? Well, what part of town are you in right now?

[E]

I guess I'm in League City, sir.

[C]

League City. What's it doing weather wise? Raining. You getting dumped on?

[E]

It's pockets of rain. It's storming, then it's clear, then it's storming.

[A]

That's how it was driving in. I had my subroof open and then I would close it. Then I opened it again.

[C]

I was pretty consistent rain in the

[E]

buc EE's lightning struck but it was clear sky so I don't know what's going on.

[C]

Damn, dude. Be careful out there. Hey, you're caller number 10. Dude, thanks for that weather update, Daniel.

[E]

You're good. Let's go.

[A]

Let's go. Motionless and white. You will be there. July 25th in the woodlands. Congratulations.

[E]

That's awesome. Thank you guys so much.

[C]

Dude, thank you. Be safe out there on the roads, okay?

[E]

Yes, sir.

[C]

Be safe. All right, that goes for every one of you out there on the roads, man. Be, be careful. 80 chance of thunderstorms. But you know, 10, 11 is the worst. Hopefully you're where you need to be at that time. 50 chance of scattered thunderstorms for Saturday and Sunday. 30 chance. Summer's here, baby. So let me just throw a. Let me just throw an age at you.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

16. 16. You're out of school. What does that mean for you, laying around all day and plopping?

[A]

No, I have a summer job.

[C]

Summer job.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Was it summer job time for you?

[A]

Yeah. In sports? Yeah.

[C]

What. What would you do?

[A]

I cheered. Don't even get me started.

[C]

It's not a job.

[A]

I. You said. You said sports and you said, what do you do? I said. I said cheer.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

My job was a farmer's market.

[C]

I worked at a farmer's market in the summer.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

It was a summer gig.

[A]

Through the fall, it was busy.

[C]

Would you work in the summers or would you just, like, be that cool, lazy teenager and lay around by the pool and hang out all day?

[D]

Always had to work.

[C]

That was a time to get a job. That was a time to get a summer job.

[A]

Saving money because you wanted to do stuff and, and your parents weren't giving you money, so you had to get money, right?

[C]

Yeah. You know, I. I just talked. I had to go look it up. I told you the. The hardest I've ever worked in my life. When I was 16, when I was working at the catering.

[A]

That was the catering.

[C]

It was 3. 35 an hour. I checked.

[A]

Dang.

[C]

Minimum wage right now is 725. I don't know if I have a problem with that. Minimum wage is not supposed to be a living wage.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Or nor should the guy working the counter. A. Like when I was growing up, like my buddy. My buddy Briggs worked at Burger King. We'd go in there and, you know, we'd throw stuff at him. We make fun of him with his little funny hat on and stuff. That was a kid's. That was a job.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

When I was young, like, there was a couple of career people there, probably, like management stuff. You had a bunch of dopey kids working there. That's kind of what it was when I was a kid. Yeah. I. Summertime was a time to go and get a job and make some money. Didn't have a whole lot of time during school, but I still. I had the paper route, you know,

[A]

I. I always had little stuff. I babysat.

[C]

I never. Not had more than two jobs. I. I always had two jobs. Always. At bare minimum, I was at. In sixth grade, I started delivering papers.

[A]

Holy crap.

[C]

So I had the paper route all the way until high school. Like almost through all of high school. Delivered papers. Talk about the hardest work I ever did in my life. In the winter, in the winter time in Buffalo. 90 papers.

[F]

That's all.

[C]

I mean, that's all it was, was 90 papers.

[A]

But 90s feels a lot.

[C]

But, you know, my dad helped me one time. I've told this story. My dad helped me once I just, I'm like, dude, look at it out there. And my parents were like, this is your job. Like there was nothing.

[A]

How long did 90 papers. How long did that take you and to walk it? You didn't ride your bike like, because

[C]

almost every house got it. It was the Tanawanda new. It was, it was the Tanawanda News. I was in North Tanawanda. That was the name of the paper. Almost every house got it. It didn't make sense to get on and off your bike. It would have been yeah and blah blah, blah. But everybody wanted it somewhere different. Haha. I know what I said. Some people wanted it in the front door.

[A]

Oh, Miss Becky wanted it in the side door.

[C]

Something people wanted the mailbox. So the one time that my dad helped me and snow is up to my tits and I'm like, my dad's like, okay, I'll do this half. You do this half of the street. And I'm yelling across the street, that's the front door. The next house is the mailbox. One time he helped me. Anyway, top 10 highest paying jobs for

[A]

teens for the summer. Let's go.

[C]

Do teens still want to do they work during the summer?

[A]

Yeah. I got a girl in my neighborhood and she's trying to. To save money for a car and she's like, can I babysit? I was like, yes, ma'. Am.

[C]

Oh my God. I would kill for an awesome, responsible child young person just to hang out

[A]

at the house every once in a

[C]

while to walk up to me and say, can I babysit? Yes, you did. I will find something. Oh my gosh.

[A]

The kids love her.

[C]

I will.

[A]

Yes, yes. They love that. They just want someone to play with that's older than them.

[C]

It fell in your lap like that.

[A]

She did.

[C]

I'm sorry, where are these kids?

[A]

In my neighborhood.

[C]

So if you, you now some of this stuff, you're going to have to have some sort of natural ability or some sort of a skill or something. But if you are a. If you're helping out like a car technician or if you get a job like at a mechanic shop. Some people, you're young. If you're around that you're learning it, picking it up, you can make 23.88 an hour. A teenager. I can't even.

[A]

No responsibility. Like, I'm not responsibility. No.

[C]

Like, but you got to know what you're doing.

[A]

Oh, you do have to to know.

[C]

Maybe they're is the kid that's sweeping up like can do. They hire a kid at like a shop when I was growing up, my friends that were into that, they started out sweeping.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And doing all the grunt work.

[A]

Grab me a wrench.

[C]

Even my buddy Roman with the chopper shop, he would have kids there sweeping up. They wanted to get in that space.

[A]

Heck yeah.

[C]

You know, so teenagers, the best thing to you can do is if you're around a mechanic shop, they say about 23 bucks an hour. Babysitter, median hourly wage, 2308. Does that sound right? Yes. Am I cheaping out when I pay 20 bucks an hour?

[F]

No.

[C]

It's one kid, Right.

[A]

You're not changing diapers.

[C]

Okay, so 20 bucks an hour. I'm okay. Yeah. Should I bump it up a little?

[A]

Depends on how often you're having this.

[C]

Babysitter. Yeah, I don't have a regular situation here. Food service supervisor. I don't know how many teenagers are supervisors at food service. 20 bucks an hour. Tutoring, about 19 bucks an hour. Shelf stalker, $18 an hour. Is a kid a shelf stalker or is somebody shelf stocking? And that's their job and they want to be paid a livable wage for that. Now, I'm not being a dick. I'm asking a serious question.

[A]

I know that there's some people that do it overnight.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And they're adults.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Because there's no bosses there.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Where's the waiters and waitresses? Oh, here we go. Waiters and waitresses. Sixteen bucks an hour. That's the way to go, man. That's the way to go.

[A]

You can use your charm, you can turn it up and you're going to earn more based on how good you are.

[C]

You got tons of energy.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, can you look people in the eye?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Well, can an 18 get a 17 to 16 year old? Well, wait a minute.

[A]

If you want a good tip, you're going to figure it out.

[C]

Is there a about it? Is there a 16 year old waitress or waiter somewhere?

[A]

Yeah, like my neighborhood bar, right?

[C]

16.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't think so.

[E]

No.

[D]

You'd be 18.

[A]

Really?

[D]

I have to be 18 to be

[C]

a barging scrap the bar thing. Talking about a restaurant.

[A]

I meant like Applebee's.

[C]

A waiter? A waiter. Or a waitress at an Applebee's. Good call, Applebee's. You like Chili's?

[A]

That's my neighborhood. Yeah. I don't think 16. Right.

[C]

I don't think there's 17 year old waiters and waitresses anymore. I don't think so.

[D]

I had friends that worked it.

[C]

You guys go out more than me.

[D]

When I was in high School.

[C]

When you were in high school. What about today?

[D]

I mean, I still have friends that work at restaurants, but they're not that age.

[A]

All the kids at Chipotle are like,

[D]

all my friends got older high school kids.

[C]

It seems like I was 17, 18, waiting tables. 17, 18, 19. Then I started cooking older, so a little bit older. 16. The entry for me to the after the catering service, the entry to me was in the restaurant was, you have to wash dishes and then maybe we'll let you do something else. And then the beauty of that job washing dishes is, oh, you want to be a busboy because, you know, you always thought it'd be cool to be on the floor with the waitresses and stuff. I had to find my replacement. It wasn't on.

[A]

Stop.

[C]

It wasn't on. The owners of this place, like, you want to move up? Who's going to do your job?

[A]

So you had to find a kid. I had to go find a buddy beneath you.

[C]

I had to tell my friends how great it was working there.

[A]

Stop.

[C]

To replace me.

[A]

And then you got moved up.

[C]

And then he got in the sink. He's like, you lied about everything. This is awful.

[D]

That is pretty messed up. That's like, that was the system.

[C]

That was the system. If you wanted to move up, go find your replacement. Smart on the owners. Yeah, smart on the owners. Like they saved themselves five bucks from taking out an ad in the newspaper. Like, you want a replacement? You can't replace yourself. All right, well, this is what kids are making. I, I hope kids are out there kind of earning money and this is your time and working during the summer. Man, I think you could turn out to be an outstanding person like Alex.

They were doing some shows, opening up for Metallica. And she allowed her, she allowed her kid to come with her in November in Australia. And she said she watched her 11 year old kid in real time. It wasn't mom's band that did, was the kids seeing Metallica like five times. And she saw it in real time. She's like, oh my God, my kid's becoming a rocker. And she watched it happen of just what the kids got to get up close and personal with Metallica. Okay, now my kid's like a metalhead. Justin from Blue October, you know this, his daughter was at Buzzfest. And you know, you gotta figure one of those kids, his oldest daughter doesn't seem to be into music. Then he's got the two younger ones, they're not so young anymore. But the middle girl, she was at the Marilyn Manson show. It changed her life. Justin's daughter, she's this sweet little girl. All his kids are really sweet. But then when I went back, Buzzfest was, I want to say it was in the summer, right? Whenever we did Buzzfest with you.

[A]

May, June.

[C]

Yeah. And then when I saw them in December, I saw the daughter, daughter, she looked different. She was all gothed out. She had dark hair, she had eye makeup on. She had some chains hanging from her. He's like, that's because of Marilyn Manson, Justin. Like, that's because of Marilyn Manson. One Manson show.

[E]

Yeah.

Hit us up on the the world famous Rod Ryan show blog [e-mail] Houston's Rock, Houston's alternative all day. And the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[A]

94. 5 the buzz.

[E]

[C]

Still got a keyword coming up for you to enter@the buzz.com for the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Got a case of beer coming up for you. Got open phones Friday. Are you, are we not giving away sold out stain tickets today? Oh, you are chilly. Put him at the end of the show.

[A]

No, the show.

[C]

I see what he did there. I see what Chili did. Their last thing we do before we get out of here. Sold out stained tickets. See their hoover stank and hinder on that bill. All right, Mo, let's do it one final time. Houston's headlines, please.

[A]

Thank you. The Senate passed legislation early this morning to fund immigration enforcement agencies. 18 hours of back and forth ended with the vote shortly before 4am our time. $70 billion legislation will fund ICE and Border Patrol through the end of Trump's term. Yesterday, Alex broke the news that the Houston Rockets are bringing back a fan favorite as the franchise unveiled a new visual identity centered around the return of the iconic ketchup and mustard color color scheme.

[C]

He said he got the, they got the colors right, but you didn't like how they did it.

[D]

Yeah, it sucks.

[A]

Rocketshop.com if you want to pick yours up. And to celebrate the launch, the Rockets are hosting a retail pop up today. It starts at 10am outside the George R. Brown. The first 100 fans who spend a hundred dollars or more get a free T shirt and they've got some former players out there doing autographs. It's like a whole like DJ interactive photo booth. All the stuff. Rod.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Party. Speaking of party, who's got big plans tonight?

[C]

Let's go.

[A]

I think you have the biggest plans tonight. Rob's going to Ohio.

[C]

Yeah, I gotta go to Columbus, Ohio. Wild 90 year old birthday party.

[A]

Chili's going out at 10:00am yeah.

[C]

Chili. Oh, is he going today?

[A]

I'm sure.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Boomer Jack sex. Right?

[C]

So it's funny that they got this narrowed down to a specific age when you start really considering your sleep takes priority over how much partying you're going to do.

[A]

It's new research says the average age when people start to plan their social calendars around their sleep schedule is 32 years old.

[C]

Does that sound right?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

I started doing mornings when I turned 30. That changed my. Obviously that changed my perspective.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I still tore it up on the weekends.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But I just couldn't do it during the week. It wasn't. I. I showed up at that restaurant hungover is all. Get up. I had to open. I remember doing Friday night fish fry. Friday night fish fry. Going out all night Friday and then having to open on Saturday. And we did it and have to have the restaurant open by 6am that means you got to get there at 5. Home fries got to be started. You got to get the grills on and everything.

[E]

And.

[C]

And I did it.

[A]

Heck yeah, we did. But we did it again the next night.

[C]

But I was 20.

[A]

Do you think 32 makes sense?

[C]

32, I think is a pretty good age.

[A]

Pretty. Right.

[C]

I mean, partying, not. Alex just doesn't sleep. So he's a. He's an enigma. But you still. You wouldn't go out all night knowing that you had something in the morning.

[D]

Probably not now.

[A]

And there ain't no way partying on.

[D]

I be out. Like I wouldn't.

[C]

Does it have to do with what age. Do hangovers really hit you harder when you're older or are you just softer?

[D]

They hit you hard.

[A]

No, they hit you harder. I'm not soft.

[D]

Mixture of both. But they hit you.

[A]

I'm not soft.

[C]

Is there any medical proof? Proof of that?

[D]

Because.

[C]

Yeah. Or are you just so dumb when you're 28 and you still just pop? You just power through it. No.

[D]

Everything hurts more when you get older.

[A]

That is true. Your whole body. Oh, man.

[D]

And you're just obviously not in the condition like you were.

[C]

Yeah, I'm not.

[D]

Like I was in my drinking shape now.

[A]

I'm not as much. See y' all this weekend.

[C]

Are you out of drinking shape?

[D]

A hardcore drinking shape? Yeah. Yeah, me too.

[A]

Beyonce is transitioning, trending today. She just landed on the Forbes richest self made women list. But she's trending because it's the first time she's ever been on this list, which is crazy to me.

[C]

She self made.

[A]

It was released Yesterday and estimated her net worth around $1 billion.

[C]

It's. It's crazy how much we're throwing around this billion term.

[A]

[A]

No, she's not on this list.

[C]

No.

[A]

No. The only other name I even recognize is Taylor Swift who's estimated $2 billion. Everyone else is like business tech moguly people.

[C]

I know everybody's got their thoughts and feelings about Kardashians and stuff. Is. Does anybody think that Paris Hilton is self made?

[D]

How could she not be? What are you talking about?

[C]

Coming from the Hiltons.

[D]

Remember this? Wait, who's that?

[A]

She doesn't consider herself that, does she?

[C]

I don't know. She's not a billionaire.

[D]

Come on.

[E]

[C]

The other one is Jessica Elba. Is she a billionaire?

[A]

No, she's not on this list.

[C]

But she's up there though, huh?

[D]

She has her company does really, really well.

[C]

Yeah, she's got this wicked awesome company. Kid stuff.

[A]

Honest. Maybe that's her, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's talk about Prince real fast because we got a new Prince album on coming out August 28th. It's called Timeless and it features previously unreleased songs from 1977 through 2016. So they span every major era of his career. And yesterday they released a new single. It's called Stone. It was recorded back in 1995. In April, we marked his 10th anniversary of Prince's death.

[C]

Hundreds of recordings are just sitting around and the family is just gonna cash in on every one of them.

[A]

That big party in Minneapolis celebrating Princess this weekend. So while you're in Ohio, I think they're right next to swing by.

[C]

But where? Yeah, right. But let's say you're super die like Prince is a genius or Prince was a genius.

[A]

Why didn't he put all these songs if they're so good?

[C]

That's, that's the, that's the conundrum is okay, do you want to hear the Prince stuff? But he didn't feel like it was for you. He didn't release it for a reason. He's not around to ask him. But selfishly, do you still want it? I mean, the family doesn't care. They're gonna get money, so they're gonna put it out.

[A]

I don't know how it feels as a fan. I think selfishly, you still want it.

[C]

I would. I would love for Wolfgang Van Halen to go into Dad's vault and release everything.

[A]

Just give it to us.

[C]

But his dad didn't want like, Eddie didn't want that stuff out there. He didn't feel like he was a perfectionist. He didn't feel like it was ready for our ears. And I don't know that. And Wolfie doesn't feel like, hey, I'm the curator of my dad's stuff. That's not. That's not his purpose in life. He wants to be his own man. He wants to be his own rock star. But those are all his tapes now, all Dad's stuff. And there's just hundreds of hours of stuff laying around that we probably will never get our hands on.

[A]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[C]

[E]

Huh?

[C]

You know how we do.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

You don't want to do that. Wait, 22? Yeah, he said 22.

[E]

No, no, no, no. 43 turning 33.

[C]

Oh, 43 turning 33. I got you, Jimmy. All right, dude. All right. So your birthday, you just passed. You're celebrating trading this weekend?

[E]

Yes, sir. It was. It was Monday.

[C]

Way to go, dude. All right, well, we'll get you started with that first case, dude. Have an awesome birthday, Jimmy.

[E]

Oh, I will now. Definitely now. I've been trying to win. I've been trying to win free beer for many, many years now.

[C]

What you've been waiting on, you got in.

[E]

I mean, I win other tickets. I won the five finger death punch. I won the sign, the Meet and greet.

[C]

Sun sundown. The Wizard. I met the Radio wizard there. Oh, my God.

[E]

I had fun there.

[C]

I didn't know we gave away tickets to Meet the Wizard. Was that a giveaway one?

[A]

It was a long line.

[C]

Was I out that day?

[A]

Very long meet and great line.

[C]

Caller 10 gets to meet the Radio Wizard. All right, Jimmy, thank you. Hang on the phone. Chili will take care of you. What day is it to open phones Friday. Open phones Friday? More like open phones fry. Yay. Okay, what do you want to get into? I got. I have phone lines open. There are lines open right now. 713-212-5945. If you want to get in, open phones Friday. Not a lot of rules. Just act like you've been here before, you know, Chris, looks like you got through first on open phones. Good morning, Claire.

[E]

Bro, I'm just kidding. That's from that silly commercial.

[C]

What's up?

[E]

I know. I wanted to talk about the Godsmack concert last Saturday and that what actually happened with the pit debacle. I've been waiting all week to talk to you.

[C]

So I heard there was some confusion in the Pit where some of our pit winners were given front row tickets. Okay, yeah, why don't you just tell me? What do you know about it, Chris?

[E]

Well, I won the tickets for me and my kid. First rock concert ever. Yeah, in the pit. I got them like, you know, I went to Ticketmaster website, it downloaded them, put them in my wallet, said pit. And then when I got there and tried to get into the pit, they had changed them to section 101 right there in the front row because according to them, they had overbooked the Pit. And a lot of us pit ticket winners from your show. Yeah, and Teresa's show and Jeremy's show had gotten bumped. And we're kind of all sitting together and that's what happened.

[C]

That's not your fault, though. They overbooked the p. No, that's stupid. That's stupid on their part. Yeah. So do you watch the whole. I mean, you're. You got front row tickets is my understanding. Oh, yeah.

[E]

I spent the entire show looking at the back of Wizard's head. Him and Chile were there. I saw them. I took pictures. Jesus and the Devil showed up. Up at one point in costume, and they got kicked out. That was pretty funny. And. But my kid at one point turned to me and said, I can feel the music vibrating my internal organs. And I said, yes, yes, this is what it's supposed to be. He's like, do they do they really need 80 speakers? Because he counted them. I said yes. Yeah, they do.

[C]

They do.

[E]

So it was still a good experience. It wasn't the pit. I sent you pictures anyway. But they were, you know, it was only like 10, 15ft farther away, so

[C]

it was still awesome. Well, thank you, Chris. I, you know, my apologies. I. I don't know what to say. I mean, it's. It's a ticket. It's a live nation thing. I don't know why they would oversell something like that. Thank you, Chris. I'm glad you still had a good time with your kid, though. I remember when he won those tickets.

[A]

Oh my gosh. Yes.

[C]

Elena, maybe. Elena, is that right?

[E]

Yes. Well, all morning on Lena.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Yeah, you're right.

[D]

How are you?

[E]

We. I'm good. I'm good. Fix and actually get ready for work.

[C]

And what time do you start?

[E]

Oh, that. I work. I go in at 10:45. I'm working a double today.

[C]

So we should start this show at 10:45.

[A]

That would be very different.

[C]

Like maybe contract. It wouldn't be the morning show anymore, would it? The late morning show.

[A]

A little bit of morning.

[C]

Doesn't the hobbits have a second breakfast?

[D]

Yeah, I think so.

[C]

Second morning.

[E]

Yeah, and then I can actually listen to the whole thing.

[C]

So you said, you said you're working a double. How many hours does that mean?

[E]

I believe it's an eight hour shift. I go in at 10 and I won't get off until about nine. I think I may have did the math wrong.

[C]

Wait, wait, you're working till 9, you start at 10, you work in until 9 tonight. Come on, it's 11 hours. That's a long time with like a

[E]

little break in the middle.

[C]

Yeah, and what is it? What do you. What are you doing for that 11 hours?

[E]

So I'm working at a Mexican restaurant called Me Pueblos in Lumberton.

[C]

So you're on your feet the whole time?

[A]

Can we come?

[C]

Yes, waiting tables.

[E]

So I'm actually just doing hosting and chip running right now. I won't start serving until next week. I just started it.

[A]

Okay, congratulations.

[C]

But that's feet for 11 hours.

[E]

Well, see, I've been serving since after I got out of high school, which that was back in 2016. So I've been serving for a long time. On my feet is nothing.

[C]

So do you ever get involved in any of those fitness trackers or whatever? I'm just wondering what kind of steps you're getting in. Like how many steps you think you'll get in today.

[D]

Do you.

[C]

Do you track any of that stuff or you're not interested?

[E]

I don't really track it. My watch does. I haven't really looked, but I'm actually starting to do like, a whole workout thing now because I'm not happy with my weight. So I'm gonna be starting to do that. So that's actually going to help more.

[C]

So I bet you get in 15,000 the steps today if you're 11 hours.

[A]

Gonna be the goat Working a Mexican restaurant, I'd be eating all those chips.

[E]

Oh.

[C]

All right, Elena. Thank you.

All right, Rocky, you got that in. Dude, are you taking her out so much tonight? Is there a birthday celebration?

[E]

Yeah, I'm taking cupcakes and some flowers to her right now to her job, and then we're going out to dinner tonight.

Oh, Jalen Brunson is just nice. But I always represent the Eastern Conference. You know, I'm loyal.

[A]

That's rude.

[C]

Discombobulated.

Alex so mad.

Alex would take his headphones off, whip them at me, and leave the building.

You don't know that.

And I'm assuming you've gone through friends and family and nobody's a match. Yeah.

[E]

My brother was going to try and donate, but he wasn't unable to get through the testing because he had a. A heart condition that he wasn't aware of.

[A]

Dang.

[C]

So what does it look like?

[E]

Just hurry up and wait.

[C]

Does it go by your blood type or are there other things involved with it? I really don't know.

[E]

There's other things involved. Blood type is a big factor. I have. I'm O positive, so I'm the most common blood type. So that list, there's more people on it because it's most common, so it takes the longest. But one thing good about this is if you donate, you don't have to have the exact blood type. They can match you up with somebody else, and they'll get you in there, you know, like in the next couple of months, and you don't have to wait as long, even though you're not a perfect match with a person.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

Yeah. Now, is there some national registry? I mean, I'm putting you on the spot here, but do you know, like, offhand a dot com where people could go and look to look more into this?

[E]

It's all registered by the. Each hospital has their own.

[C]

Gotcha.

[E]

Registered. So.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

It depends, you know, they're all different.

[C]

Barry, I wish you the best of luck, man, and keep the faith. I know you're gonna. You're gonna get something soon. I really feel that. Alfredo, you're next up on Open phones. Good morning.

[D]

I have with the band that I

[E]
