We'll play it by ear, but definitely sold out. Tame Impala tickets coming your way at 820 alternative income 910 blue October tickets on mo the show. And there she is, I'm sure. Want to talk about this weather. Good morning, Mo. What you got in Houston's headlines morning?
Rod Ryan
Yes, an active weather day for our Wednesday. It's also making for a messy morning commute. We are tracking more rain, thunderstorms this morning before getting a break this afternoon. Overnight, those thunderstorms.
Alex
Whoa.
Rod Ryan
And heavy winds made the roads extra slick already causing flooding concerns across the area. And as you're driving into work this morning, the heavier rounds of rain seem to be staying south of I10 for the majority of the morning. It's looking like around 3, 4pm this afternoon, Rod. Things could dry out before more rain overnight tonight. Yesterday in Washington, the Senate advanced a war powers resolution. This would limit President Trump's authority in Iran. It's the first time in eight attempts that Democrats have been able to move forward this measure for Republicans cross party lines to make it happen. If the resolution would pass, it would direct the president to remove US Forces with from Iran unless Congress formally declared war. So even if the full Senate would pass the resolution and clears both chambers, Trump would veto it. So they're working hard for. I don't know why Google is changing for the first time in 25 years.
Alex
What? The look of the page.
Rod Ryan
Oh, yeah, the search bar, which is what we use Google for. It's looked the same for 25 years. And yesterday they said the whole shift in AI has inspired them to overhaul the dimensions of the search bar. So you're looking at it. It's bigger. It's more what they're calling interactive so that people can ask longer questions. You can upload your photographs and videos. You can ask questions vocally. I'm seeing AI mode. We know what's happening. They aren't forcing AI on anyone is what they're claiming. But we know what we're leaning towards. Nashville officially getting the Super bowl in 2030. NFL owners voted yesterday during their meetings in Orlando. We know Nashville has spent years building itself to be a major tourism destination and now it's got one of the biggest events on the planet. It's why they built that new stadium. It looks like that decision paid off for them. And then let's talk Billy Joel, because there is a biopic in the works and it turns out Billy Joel's not happy about it. It's called Billy and Me, and it covers his early career up until Piano man. And his rep actually issued a statement saying the people behind the movie do not have the rights to his life do not have the rights to his music.
Alex
If this will flop, then that means they won't.
Rod Ryan
They can't.
Alex
They can't use the music.
Rod Ryan
Where do you go from there? Yeah, you have to kind of end it. But those are Houston's headlines.
Alex
Alex only likes the Billy Joel era after Piano man. He likes the 80s, 80s Joel.
Rod Ryan
Nice.
Alex
All right. Hey, the Astros win, right?
Mo
Right. Astros did win. Yes. Last night they got by the Twins 2 to 1. Isak Paredes hit a two run home run in the first inning and that's all they really needed done all day. They could have just ended the game after that. They're gonna wrap up their series with the Twins this afternoon. Mike Burroughs is going to be on the mound for the Stroz, going up against Minnesota's Joe Ryan. First pitches at 12:40. And you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk790. In the NBA playoffs, the new York Knicks beat the cavs in overtime, 115 to 104. The Knick back came back from down 22 points in the fourth quarter to force overtime, where they went on to win it. That is what's going on in sports.
Alex
Here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. Wild card Wednesday. Yeah, I imagine the weather is going to be talked about quite a bit today. It's nasty outside, guys. I don't know. First phone call. Anything goes for that first phone call. If it's weather related, that's fine. We're here to talk about it as well. 713-212-5945. The most interactive show on the radio starts right now. Okay, here we go. 94. 5 the buzz. Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey. It's a nasty looking wild card Wednesday. Rain. Yes. Scattered thunderstorms, 100% chance throughout the day. Yes. All day, Rod. I mean, it might light up, lighten up a little bit, but I mean, there's a chance of rain, like all day today. Nasty, skanky outside, so be safe. That's the number one thing. Would one of you leave early? Would one person leave early today? You said we were talking before the show woke you up.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, and I sleep so hard. I think it was like two o'. Clock. It was just the loudest thunder.
Alex
I slept through all of it.
Rod Ryan
You're lucky.
Alex
Yeah, I slept.
Rod Ryan
I love the storm.
Alex
All of it. Did you wake up? No kids? No kids got shushers or like white noise machines? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. London's still like hers is on as loud as it Goes she wants.
Rod Ryan
They'll take it to college with them. All of our children. We've ruined them.
Alex
I've got like a little like wavy thing going on.
Rod Ryan
Oh, in your room?
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Really? Doesn't make you pee?
Alex
No.
Rod Ryan
Huh.
Alex
Well, I mean, it sounds like white noise, but it's like in and out. But it's like. It's supposed to simulate waves, but no, the water doesn't. It doesn't sound like a running water faucet. My ex wife. Good God. It's like a Louisiana swamp boat on the side of her bed. It was the loudest thing I ever heard in my life. Like what? Too much? All right, so it is going to be nasty out there. I want you to be safe. That is paramount for every one of us. We will be asking you to call in a little bit to get involved in the show. Dj, what do you say about this guy? Sent me an email.
Rod Ryan
No way.
Alex
David is his name. Dj. He said he's played the game for a total. He beat Josh the Goat yesterday. Okay. Said he's played the game five times now. He won his first time ever playing in 2019. And then he lost one pump. Chumped it a couple of times. Then he said he lost again to what's his name at the first of the year. That's not helping. He said clear the lines. Can I play Corey today?
Rod Ryan
Oh, he's getting a little sassy. Come on.
Alex
I mean, Corey has earned the name the Goat Hunter. Those guys have had legendary battles on this show. You don't want that, dude.
Rod Ryan
I mean, maybe we do.
Alex
You don't want that. And no, we don't clear lines and let somebody. We don't arrange games, so that's not happening. But a lot of great tickets today on the show. Homeroom after, fresh out of bed. I've gotten. I brought in some new fun facts for you guys. And then on the Flashback, you're gonna get those Machine Gun Kelly tickets. There are some phone lines ringing.

Alex
5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Listening to that bit with Will Ferrell. Really funny. Saturday Night Live. Chad.
Mo
Chad Smith.
Alex
Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers came out as Will Ferrell. They're like, oh, and now your host, Will Ferrell comes out.
Rod Ryan
It's Chad, actually, Chad.
Alex
It's Chad from the Chili Peppers. He starts the monologue and then Will Ferrell comes out. We same suit.
Mo
He's like, stop.
Alex
He knocked me down. Don't cheer for this guy. It's very funny. Keeping that bit going is really hysterical. Good morning. Not so much humor out on the roads, Mo. I could let you go for another. I could let you cook for another five minutes with these rec checks.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
It's so nasty out there. Please be careful. And you know what? I'm gonna send her a scratch and sniff sticker.
Rod Ryan
Who?
Alex
Trina? She goes, some people. Listen, I made it into work 20 minutes early because I left early because you said to leave early.
Rod Ryan
You're a gem.
Alex
So boom. Remember when he got a little scratch and sniff?
Rod Ryan
Yes. Right on the top of the paper.
Alex
Yep. I'm gonna send her a sticker. Good job. Leave early. What's trending?
Mo
Rashi Rice is trending. The chief's wide receiver has to serve 30 days in jail after he violated his parole. He tested positive for marijuana. Can't do that on parole.
Alex
Probation.
Mo
He.
Alex
He's on the crazy criminal blog page. That criminal blog page is a mess. Today.
Mo
Recklessly was driving in the Dallas Fort Worth area two years ago, caused a pretty serious crash on the freeway and then just walked away from the accident. So he's on probation for that. Violating. That means he's gonna miss team, big team activities in the offseason.
Alex
Okay.
Mo
The Cavs, Knicks is trending. The Knicks overcame a 22 point fourth quarter deficit last night to beat the Cavs. James Harden got cooked. He got cooked by Jalen Brunson in that fourth quarter. Didn't look great, but it was a huge win for the Knicks. And then cybertruck is trending. A man in Grapevine, Texas, was arrested after he intentionally drove his cybertruck into a lake to quote, test its Wade mode, it can go up to 32 inches as long as like, depending on where the tire is. Yeah, like there's a mode, I guess on the Teslas, the cybertruck to like wade into some water. But he like just drove it in like a boat and.
Alex
What an idiot.
Mo
I saw the video.
Rod Ryan
I saw the video.
Mo
But he was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park and not having a boater's license. So that is what's trending on 905 the bus.
Alex
All right, where's our guy dj? Here he is. Hey, good morning, everybody. This is dj. You probably thought you were going to hear Josh the Goat here, but no.

But it looks like Corey the Goat Hunter has got a pretty formal invitation to play. Yeah, I don't know if that's gonna help him get on, but we'll see.
Mo

Alex

Rock An Alternative and the Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am the buzz and Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.
Rod Ryan
Hey, everyone. Check out this guy in and his bird. What is this, your first date?
Alex
Oh, no. We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.
Alex
Anyways, get a'@libertymutual.com or with your local agent. Liberty, Liberty. Liberty. Liberty 94. Five the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Come on, it's your fun back. Flash hat. Hi, Rod Ryan Show. Who we got here?
Rod Ryan
Here.
Mo
This is Brendan Brendon.
Alex
Hey, Brendan. Welcome in. You're on the road right now? Yes, sir.
Mo
I am on my way to work.
Alex
Where you driving? I'm in Katie.
Mo
I'm going to Missouri City.
Alex
How bad is it on the roads? It's not that bad. Sprinkling.
Mo
Nothing I'm not used to. I work outside, so I'm used to this.
Alex
All right, well, let's get you in and out of here. Brendan. Who adds a layer to their tusk every year? Well, there's two different animals that do.
Mo
Narwhals and elephants.
Rod Ryan
Narwhals is what we learned about yesterday.
Alex
Yeah, the. The narwhal. Narwhal. I don't know how to say it. How do you say it? I don't know.
Rod Ryan
Whatever you said is fine.
Alex
Bye, buddy. Hope you find your dad.
Rod Ryan
Brendan, you're going to Machine Gun Kelly on Saturday?
Alex
Yeah. Awesome. Oh, my God.
Rod Ryan
See you in the woodlands. Everybody else, Ticketmaster.com. i actually have to tell you a little bit more about Machine Gun Kelly coming up. Brendan.
Alex
Oh, interesting. Okay. Hey, so you're. So you're. You got to work in this. You said you work outdoors? Yes, sir, I work outdoors.
Mo
I build pools.
Alex
Okay. So you're still working out in the rain today? Yes, sir, I am.
Mo
Rain or shine.
Alex
Here we go. All right.
Rod Ryan
Gotta get those pools in before summer, Rod.
Alex
Guys gotta work.
Rod Ryan
A man gotta work in the woodlands ain't cheap.
Alex
100% chance of those pesky scattered thunderstorms. Most got more in Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Thank you. An active weather day for our Wednesday making for a very messy morning. I know we keep talking about traffic, y'. All. It's all over the place. It's that rain, those thunderstorms, the heavy winds overnight that made the roads extra slick this morning causing flooding concerns as the rain continues to come down. As you are driving into work this morning, know the heavier rounds of rain seem to be staying south of. I tend to. It looks like around 3 or 4pm this afternoon. Things could dry out before more rain overnight.
Alex
What are your personal thoughts on people driving around with their hazard lights on?
Rod Ryan
Are you trying to set me off?
Alex
What is. What are your personal thoughts?
Rod Ryan
People need to stay home.
Alex
Brooke is one of those people that is outraged. Ouch.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, right. Those are the worst kind of humans. The.
Alex
And I get nervous because the subject line says a holes in it. She spelled it out.
Rod Ryan
My girl.
Alex
I think she's talking about us.
Rod Ryan
No.
Alex
Oh, God. What did I say? Rod, do us a favor. Send out a psa. Tell these blanks on the road that are driving with their flashers on. We know it's raining. Your flashers aren't helping anybody.
Rod Ryan
Nope.
Alex
They only distract us. Thanks. Love the show. I don't think I had that strong of feelings on it.
Rod Ryan
It's a hill I will die on.
Alex
But we've found on this show we've uncovered that it is not illegal to do.
Rod Ryan
You're just kidding.
Mo
It's an IQ indicator.
Rod Ryan
They're not IQ indicator.
Alex
You're not breaking the law, but eternity in Hades. Probably listening to another radio station, but sure.
Rod Ryan
Let's talk about the State Department because they're warning against travel to several nations experiencing the growing Ebola outbreak.
Alex
Come on.
Rod Ryan
Officials strongly urge U.S. citizens from visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and Uganda for any reason. And they're also restricting them from entering the US if they've been there in the last three weeks. Except the Democratic Republic of Congo's. National soccer team. They are set to live, practice and play a match in Houston during the World cup this summer.
Alex
They're coming here? Sure are coming here to stay.
Rod Ryan
Houston.
Alex
Cool.
Rod Ryan
Let's talk about your dad Bod Rod.
Alex
Whoa.
Rod Ryan
It's out. Unfortunately, this temple, I'm just. I'm just a reporter.
Alex
You're talking about this temple that I've been.
Rod Ryan
There's a new survey. It looked into the most desired body types. So it showed people a side by side comparison, an image, images, if you will. And ask people to choose the physique they found most attractive. The quote unquote, perfect male body. 15% body fat. So that's on the slim side.
Alex
Alex is probably checking in. Probably under 15, huh? What's your body fat?
Rod Ryan
I don't know either. I mean, mine's on the higher end. That's for dang sure.
Alex
At my best, like in my here since I lived here. At my best, I was 18.
Rod Ryan
You knew percentage?
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Interesting.
Alex
Working out with, like, trainer Randy. That was a bad. It was one day. One day I was 18.
Rod Ryan
That's interesting.
Alex
Like, I starved myself for a week because I knew we were testing. I don't know what I'm at now. I'm 20 something for sure.
Rod Ryan
Remember dad Bozza had their moment.
Alex
That was one of the very first things. This is what I remember 10 years. It was one of the very first things that Alex handed to me. It's like, hey, you might want to talk about this on the show. Like, you know, he didn't know. He's just like, you're trying to fit in, but he's like, hey, this is kind of. I saw that. I saw online. I'm like, it's a really good thing to talk about on the air. So, yeah, he kind of brought the dad bod story into us. I was right when people started coining
Rod Ryan
the phrase, I'm sorry to bring this to you.
Alex
Well, this dad bod ain't going away.
Rod Ryan
Can we talk about beef? Because the preferred girl, chick body style, 30%. So curves for women are in 30%.
Alex
You're allowed.
Mo
Great.
Alex
Oh, that's cool.
Rod Ryan
Let's go, girl.
Alex
That's cool.
Rod Ryan
The beef is between Young Blood and Machine Gun Kelly.
Alex
Who you got in a fight, Alex?
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Who would you take?
Alex
They're both little skinny, scrappy guys.
Rod Ryan
I think I would take Machine gun Kelly.
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
MGK's taller.
Rod Ryan
I don't know what it is.
Mo
Young Blood's probably scrappier because he's British. Oh, he'd kick you in the groin. Mgk. I don't know. He's got.
Alex
I think it'd be a great fight.
Mo
I'd go, mgk.
Rod Ryan
Youngblood posted a video saying live music has been accessible, talking about, you know, concert ticket prices. And he's pushing for cheaper fan experiences like this Blood Fest festival thing that he's trying to put on.
Alex
On.
Rod Ryan
Well, then Machine Gun Kelly blasted him on social media, in a sense. Deleted comment claiming that Youngblood canceled his tour because he couldn't sell tickets. It had nothing to do with ticket prices. So they're going back and forth calling each other name, or MGK is calling Youngblood names. Youngblood is like, I don't have time for this. In fact, he sent his reps to say he does not have time for this.
Alex
This is a beef I'm here for. I'm down for these two. This. Oh, I'm not sure yet.
Rod Ryan
Fans have noticed some tension, so they're excited to kind of start seeing it playing out in the public.
Alex
Okay.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Who knew they were friendly for so long? We'll see. And then Dave Grohl, also in the news. He cringes at himself. Have you heard of the show Hot Ones versus That's the wings. Yeah. They have to eat the death wing or answer a question honestly.
Alex
Boy, that guy really is good, too. He's a good interviewer.
Rod Ryan
The Foo Fighters were just on there, and they asked Dave Grohl to name the band's cringiest lyrics wreck.
Alex
So how does it work? It's. Is it like, dare, like, answer my question or eat the wing? Yes. So he was on a super, super hot wing.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. And he decided to answer, here's my cringiest lyrics. Take any of them. I swear. I have so many.
Alex
Did he give one an answer?
Rod Ryan
He specifically said the lyric from DOA that goes, it's a shame we have to die, my dear. No one's getting out of here alive. He said that was really stupid.
Alex
Stole that right from. From Jim Morrison. No one here gets out alive.
Mo
I don't think that's that bad of a lyric.
Alex
It doesn't seem that Cringy Morrison wrote that. No one here gets out alive. I believe that's a lyric that he wrote.
Rod Ryan
Oops.
Alex
It's the name of his book.
Rod Ryan
You'll have to go watch the episode. But those of you.
Mo
Original sentence, huh?
Rod Ryan
Everybody?
Mo
Original sentence.
Alex
You're right.
Mo
Nobody lives forever.
Alex
It's true.
Mo
The Astros got a win last night. They got by the Twins 2 to 1. Isaac Paredes hit a two run homer in the first inning and that's all the offense they Astros needed the whole game. They're gonna wrap up the series with the Twins this afternoon. Mike Burrows will be on the mound for the Stroz going up against Minnesota's Joe Ryan. First pitch is at 1240 and you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk790. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Cavaliers in overtime, 115 to 104. They came back from a 22 point fourth quarter deficit to force overtime where they then won it. That is what's going on in sports.
Alex
Hey guys, that was a pretty nice little hour.
Rod Ryan
Hour. I had fun.
Alex
It was a pretty nice little hour that we put together here. What do we got for you next hour? Well, I know they're definitely gonna get to some Triumph tickets closer to around 7:20. Sold out. Tame impala tickets are at 8:20. I was gonna play a game. I don't think I want to mess with you guys out on the roads today though. I think I want to take it easy on me. I want you getting in safe. If you got any road conditions or any weather stuff to report on, you can email me or call. We're here. We call ourselves the most interactive show. Let's do something about that. The Rod ryan Morning Show, 6 to 10am the buzz and Doug. There's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.
Rod Ryan
Hey everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this your first date?
Alex
Oh, no. We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.
Alex
Anyways, get a'@libertymutual.com or with your local agent. Liberty, Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show on this wild card Wednesday. Thank you for having us on 706 on a nasty, nasty day. All of us.
Rod Ryan
The traffic, Rain.
Alex
The traffic is bad.
Rod Ryan
I mean, so bad.
Alex
I'm looking at you.
Mo
You.
Alex
So here's a little behind the scenes here. Mo's got like a set time to do her wreck check. You hear that music bed playing underneath her? That sucker. I can't do anything about it. It's right here. And when it runs out, it's just going to hit that next thing like the traffic sponsor or whatever. And Mo's looked at me a couple of times, giving me some dagger eyes, thinking that I cut her off so I'm keeping an eye on it and I'm like, I'm giving you some hand cues. Like, hey, wrap it up. It's about to cut off. I can't do anything. Like it's. The machine's just running.
Rod Ryan
There's so much traffic all over the place. I'm sorry if we didn't get to your issue.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
If you need help, let us know.
Alex
Yeah. And if you have something that you see out there, great. Share it with us. Right now, all I'm getting are flashing light emails. Hazard emails. So Brooke kind of got this whole thing started. Brook's the one that put a holes in the subject line and put a holes in her table text several times. But she wanted me to send out a PSA to tell people that are using their hazard lights while they're driving. We don't need them.
Rod Ryan
You're not supposed to do that. Don't do it. Well, it's for an emergency. I'm supposed to know. That helps me see.
Mo
Yeah. I don't know if you're getting over a lane.
Rod Ryan
Right. So if you're high, if you ever flashes on, you're in some sort of
Mo
emergency, we're stopped and not moving.
Rod Ryan
Correct.
Alex
Does your directional. I don't know if anybody can answer this here.
Mo
Probably not.
Alex
But when you put your turn signal on, does it override?
Rod Ryan
No.
Mo
No, it doesn't.
Alex
So.
Mo
So you can't tell which lane you're getting in. It means nothing besides the fact that you're just like kind of dumb.
Alex
So I would say that's a ding against it.
Rod Ryan
Correct.
Alex
If it doesn't. If you're. If you change lanes, you can't override the hazards with your.
Rod Ryan
Correct.
Alex
You know, but turn signal in my BMW that I don't use, I have.
Mo
Like, you're just letting everybody else know that it works.
Alex
I use it all the time. I promise. There are people that have strong feelings on. I. I told you, I see it all the time. You drive around in the rain, you see people with their hazard lights on. I don't have strong feelings on it. People do. People do. Let's see, what would you prefer says Miguel. Okay, what would you prefer to be driving with on a rainy road? A jacked up truck and SUVs driving 80 plus miles an hour with no headlights on? Or people with flashers driving cautiously.
Rod Ryan
Oh, no headlights now.
Alex
You can't.
Mo
You can't. That's the worst. The worst of the world.
Alex
Create another a hole. Put it up against this one.
Rod Ryan
They live in the same Delusion.
Alex
So they're both going to hell.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, exactly.
Alex
We all agree you have to have your lights on.
Rod Ryan
Yes. Headlights belong on.
Alex
Okay.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
Now this guy sounds like he's going up after jacked up truck guys.
Rod Ryan
That was also. Yes.
Alex
Usually those guys have extra lights on those trucks. Yeah. So he's asking me to pick. They're both, they're not right. They're not right. He goes, I'd rather deal with hazard light people. At least they seem to be cautious drivers. Okay. I don't necessarily, yeah, there's people I could, I could be here all day with these emails. It's not illegal. This, this, yeah, this we covered on the show.
Rod Ryan
I think I might go to Congress. I think this might be the Hill. I die.
Alex
Oh, my God. Mo is going up against Chip Roy right now.
Rod Ryan
Yes. Who do you pick?
Alex
Why? Rhino.
Mo
Chip Roy.
Rod Ryan
Let's go. I can't handle it with a rhino. I don't know anything about, about what's going on in the voting right now because I feel like we haven't stopped voting.
Alex
Is it Chris Menifee?
Rod Ryan
Christian.
Alex
Christian Menifee.
Rod Ryan
He has great commercials.
Alex
He does have really good commercials.
Rod Ryan
Creative and funny.
Alex
Yeah. His commercials are the best.
Rod Ryan
I haven't looked into his politics, but
Alex
I know money seems to be like in shape.
Rod Ryan
I know they're cute.
Alex
He's got cool glasses. I know he's a Democrat.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
And he's always like running, making commercials. I took, I took Trump to the, the court and, but I can't keep up. I try to set a good example. I want my kid to see that I'm, I'm taking part in the process.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
I voted and then I voted what I thought was like a midterm. I, I went to that.
Rod Ryan
But we're doing runoffs right now. Right.
Alex
There's this other stuff and it's like you're asking me to vote too much. And I know this is probably the wrong message to say on the radio. It's probably not doing me any favorite, but it just seems like we are in a non stop cycle.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
Because we're amping up for something in November. Right.
Rod Ryan
That's actually in one of Christian Menifee's commercials. He's like run had seven elections in the past. Like seven.
Alex
Yes.
Rod Ryan
It was funny. Yeah, yeah.
Alex
Whatever he's running for, there was an open seat and so I get it. I, I, I would never talk like I know what I'm talking about. It's clear obviously what I'm talking about. That I know. Don't know what I'm doing. It's just I don't remember elections being all the time and just non stop political ads on television. It's a lot, man.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
And I feel like I take part in more than most people.
Rod Ryan
But asking me driving with your flashers
Alex
on, asking for those two seats that everyone's fighting for and who Trump finally endorsed and all that's a lot. It's like doctors. And I'm glad there's people that do it. I'm glad there's people that are going to go out there and they're fired up about voting. It's just non stop, man. All right. I don't know where we got.
Rod Ryan
I'll keep you posted on your calendar.
Alex
Mo's going to run.
Rod Ryan
I'm running a hazard platform. The platform I'm going to.
Alex
No hazard light. She's going to make it illegal.
Rod Ryan
I'm going to make it illegal for all you turds.
Alex
And a running mate will be Alex. He will make it illegal not to return your shopping cart.
Rod Ryan
High five.
Alex
Grocery store. These are for the people. People, people for sure. Houston's rock. Houston's alternative. And the Rod Ryan morning show. The buzz at a time. 94. 5 buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. On this wild card Wednesday. I'm just still going through emails. Hazards. No hazards. Is there any truth to this? I don't see why Rosie would lie to me. Rod, when you go take your classes for your permit now, they actually teach you to put your hazard lights on so the driver in front of you knows how close or far they are from you. Pretty interesting how driver's ed has changed over the years. Is it being how I was taught? Is it being taught?
Rod Ryan
I have it to me.
Mo
And turning your hazards on is stupid to me.
Rod Ryan
I'm just gonna say Pluto is still a planet.
Alex
That's gonna affect your campaign if it's being taught.
Mo
I will campaign.
Rod Ryan
Thank you.
Alex
Like hell with you.
Rod Ryan
We'll start with the driver's at. We'll just go to them first.
Alex
In politics, Eli, who kicks ice cubes under his freezer. He said the emergency lights, it helps other drivers know where the lane is.
Rod Ryan
Okay. That's a world of delusion.
Mo
You're living in lanes that you can like.
Alex
He is. Not only does he like kicking ice cubes under the refrigerator freezer, but he also is a hazard light guy.
Mo
Just don't drive when it's raining.
Alex
He told everybody else to suck it.
Rod Ryan
If you're that uncomfortable on the roads, get off of them.
Alex
Groups of people Definitely, yeah. There's just. It's split.
Mo
I like this argument.
Alex
It's split right down the middle. I need. Again, I don't have this strong of feelings as you guys do, but I want to know, is it being taught they telling people that's what the proper thing is?
Rod Ryan
Still taking driver's ed?
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
You have to.
Alex
I think they have to now.
Mo
Can we burn the driver's ed books? Can we, like, do a book burning? If that's the case, though, that'll be our campaign.
Alex
Trending, Alex.
Mo
Billy Joel is trending. We talked about this in headlines, but there is a Billy Joel biopic right now, and he is saying that he did not sign off on this and he's not happy.
Alex
You.
Rod Ryan
I.
Alex
You probably don't remember there was a Jimi Hendrix biopic. You remember that?
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
Wasn't signed off by the family, but
Mo
I remember them talking about it.
Alex
Not memorable. They even got Andre 3000 to play Jimmy Henry Hendrix.
Rod Ryan
Oh, dang.
Alex
Was brilliant casting, terrible movie, couldn't use any music. How can you do a Jimi Hendrix story without using his music? Right. So that's what's gonna happen with this Billy Joel thing. If it continues. I think with Billy speaking up, it might kind of kill the project.
Mo
I imagine that would do most biopics. Yeah. Like, hey, I don't want the one about me.
Alex
I think. I think he's worthy of a biopic,
Mo
but he didn't do any shady stuff.
Alex
One that he signs off on.
Mo
If they're covering something like super shady that he did, then it's like, all
Alex
right, I. I think he got. He had family members that were accountants, and I think they ripped him off of millions and millions of dollars. I think that the biggest thing might be the corruption.
Mo
Again. I'm an 80s Joel guy anyway, so,
Alex
you know, like, what happened to Dane Cook? Yeah, that type of thing. Billy Joel had that. Yeah. The fam family stole money.
Mo
Jason Kidd is trending. The Mavericks have fired him as their head coach after five years in that role. So he's going to have to find a new gig. And then the Nashville super bowl is trending. The NFL announced yesterday that Nashville will host Super Bowl 64 in 2030. They're completing, I believe, their new stadium will be completed next year. So it'll be in its third year or so by the time that they get the Super Bowl. That is what's trending on 94. 5 debuts.
Alex
Buffalo Bill's got a state of the art new stadium.
Mo
They usually give every new stadium one. Like, I know that the MetLife Stadium got. They had the Seahawks. Uh huh. And Broncos super bowl because it was brand new. So they usually.
Alex
You'll probably get. Nope. It won't happen. It won't happen.
Mo
Not covered.
Alex
It's not covered. And they don't have the infrastructure. They can't.
Mo
That's true.
Alex
I don't think Buffalo can host a Super Bowl.
Mo
Nashville is going to just dominate now. Nashville is going to be with New Orleans in the rotation of like.
Alex
I think you're right on that.
Mo
Jacksonville, Tampa.
Alex
Do we. Does Mo have to wait until 2030 for an all country halftime show? Do they save it for Nashville or the Shabuzzi or are they due to have one this or next year? It. You know, that's been rumored for. Since country's been real, real hot. I hope they don't last couple years.
Mo
I just want to see the fight that like breaks out like it should have been. Should have been doing the halftime show.
Alex
What are you giving away, Mo?
Rod Ryan
I have Triumph tickets. I know you're excited for the show on Friday. Smart Financial Center. You can still buy them. Smart financialcenter.net but we'd love to give them to you. All you got to do is be caller 10 right now. 713-212-594.
Alex
Hang out with the old guys.
Rod Ryan
It's gonna be fun.
Alex
You're gonna get on the porch with us though. You better act like one of the big dogs. All right. That's all I ask. Here's the Verve 94-5945. The buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show Wild Card Wednesday. It's our number one link today. Lots of stuff. Apparently Chili did add add some things to the Ditch Day blog page. Got some. We were adding some of the fun and games things, some of the things that we're going to be doing out there at Ditch Day. Not this, but next Friday we're all going to be at Cactus Cove. We really. We gotta give Gunner a week's notice on the drink.
Rod Ryan
So what's that mean?
Alex
I don't know. I feel like we came out of the gate like a pistol and we started writing down all these ridiculous shot names and then a few have trickled in the farting horse, which I still think is pretty funny. So yeah, we had all these nickname suggestions and then we just dropped off like we talk about something and then. Squirrel.
Rod Ryan
Squirrel.
Alex
Okay.
Rod Ryan
So do we need to vote by like Friday?
Alex
We need to have a vote on Friday what the shot's gonna be. And we're still taking suggestions. Shot names don't Worry about what's in the shot. But there will be a shot special at Ditch Day. I just finalized the logo and everything with Deb over at BMP for the T shirts. So the T shirts are going to be there? They're on order. Don't have drink specials yet. Just want you to party with us. I don't know what I. I don't listen to other morning shows. Do they convey to you guys? Guys, you ever hear, like, a morning show? Ruler? Ryan's gone, so it's just Ruler now. Does she say, I want to hang out with you guys? I do. I mean it when I say it. I want to hang out with you guys.
Mo
Probably doesn't say that I want to
Alex
hang with you guys.
Mo
Nobody else really likes their listeners. They.
Alex
Most country stations, since she's gone, they're under, like, their eighth morning show since they let her go. Like, okay, talk about something else.
Rod Ryan
That squirrel over there.
Alex
Whatever. In the time that you've been gone, they brought in another team.
Rod Ryan
I've been here a year, Rod.
Alex
Okay, but they brought in another team. That team has been let go already.
Rod Ryan
Yes, that's true.
Alex
You can't have her back. You can't leave.
Mo
Yeah, we already had dib.
Alex
You can't leave.
Rod Ryan
Not going anywhere.
Mo
You can't do tv.
Rod Ryan
I don't want to do tv.
Mo
Don't even think about it.
Alex
So. Oh, my God. You walk in there. Oh, yeah. Didn't I tell you about my one year plan? I. I will kick you in the shin.
Mo
Don't even.
Rod Ryan
Stop it. My one year plan?
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
You didn't mention that to me.
Rod Ryan
You're insane.
Alex
Good morning. Who's on the phone here?
Rod Ryan
Hello? Great, Sarah.
Alex
Hi, Sarah. You're caller number 10.
Rod Ryan
What's up?
Alex
Oh, my God. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Boys night now.
Alex
Wait, wait, wait. Sarah. Yes. Are you team hazard lights on during driving during the rain in a rainstorm or Team hazard lights off? No, wrong answer here. I say off.
Rod Ryan
If you need hazard lights, you should pull over.
Mo
Thank you.
Alex
That's why Mo's gonna give you the ticket. She likes it.
Rod Ryan
I'm giving you these tickets. Friday, Smart Financial Center. Everybody else, buy your tickets. Smart financialcenter.net all right, we love you, Sarah. You can call this show anytime. Oh, my God. I. I call every day almost, and I've gotten through to caller seven, but this is awesome.
Alex
Thank y' all so much.
Rod Ryan
Thank you, Sarah, forever.
Alex
All right. You're awesome. Hang on. Chili's gonna set you up with those tickets. This is the last time I'm mentioning the Hazard light thing.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Right.
Alex
Okay, go ahead.
Mo
This is it.
Alex
Heidi took the time to look it up.
Rod Ryan
Thank you, Heidi.
Alex
False. They do not teach in Texas. Texas driver's ed. They do not teach students to drive with their hazard lights on during normal or inclement weather. Okay, thanks.
Rod Ryan
That means Rosie lied to you.
Alex
It also says driving with hazard lights is widely discouraged.
Mo
Big hazard light companies and that push
Alex
this agenda here in Texas. Now we've got somebody listening in Metairie, Louisiana. That's just outside downtown.
Mo
New.
Alex
You know, just outside of New Orleans. You drive through it. When you come. You land in Kenner, you drive through Metairie, and then you get to downtown. I looked this one up just to double check. I did. Of course, Rezi is going to give me some honest FYI. Rod, I'm driving. I'm in Metairie, Louisiana. It is illegal here in the state of Louisiana to drive with your hazard lights on in bad weather.
Rod Ryan
To move.
Alex
Look that up. It is illegal.
Rod Ryan
I don't want to move either, but we can work. That means there's potential that it could be illegal here one day maybe.
Alex
Mario has moved here from Seattle. And welcome. He said, I've been here four years. I have never seen using hazards and rain until I moved here.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Same Seattle, right? Driving the rains, like, every day.
Alex
Same. I. I don't think that I've seen that before.
Rod Ryan
Which means they're professional range drivers.
Mo
Know how to do it. You don't need it. They need.
Alex
They're not breaking the law.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Mo
But they're just bad drivers breaking their own brains.
Alex
All right. I promise I have things to talk about today on the show. Things that I want. I promise I have other things.
Mo
Okay.
Alex
That's all coming up. Rod Ryan, the cure for weak coffee and morning scaries.
Mo
94.
Alex
5 the buzz. Yeah. You work here now? Yeah.
Rod Ryan
I like that song.
Alex
This is where you work. Right here. Looking at Mo.
Rod Ryan
I'm just, like, tapping my toes.
Alex
She got her headphones on. She's kind of, like, bopping her head. I'm like, are you listening to the same thing? What are you. Are you piping in Ella Langley while I'm listening to Disturbed? Why do you look so happy right now? I liked it. 94. 5 the buzz. Disturbed and I will not break. Good morning, everybody. Rod Ryan's show. We all agree on something. It is nasty outside traffic. Most rec checks are super long. And it's just what's happening whether your hazards are on or off. Whatever. I'm not getting involved anymore. Just do the right Thing which in most case says, don't drive with your hazards on scattered thunderstorms throughout the day. Okay. 100 chance. Gonna keep it a little cooler out there. 84. National Rescue Dog Day. People love telling people that they got a rescue.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
So tomorrow is national. Tell everybody what a hero you are for rescuing. Rescuing your dog day.
Rod Ryan
Post about it.
Alex
That'll be tomorrow.
Mo
Adopt, don't try your dog would mean the dog was like in a fire. You went into a burning building, pulled a dog.
Alex
I know you like this. Friday will be they saved me day. They rescued me. That's my favorite.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
When they're with the rescue dog, it's like, they rescued me. I needed this more than they did. It is National Rescue Dog Day. It used to be just that you had an adopted dog. Right. You went to the SPCA and then
Mo
I wanted a dog. I went there. Adopt, don't shop. But you like, you didn't rescue your dog if you wanted a dog and went to a shelter and got a dog.
Alex
It was called the SPCA when I was a kid. And they threw an A in there. The aspca.
Mo
Right? American. I don't know.
Alex
I don't know.
Mo
Yeah, it was just ASPCA when I was.
Alex
When I was a kid. So listen, you are a good person. If you rescued, you adopted a dog. This I get in and out of quickly. I've been in trouble before with puppy farm people. Oh, did I get in trouble. It was a Budweiser super bowl commercial.
Rod Ryan
What?
Alex
And there was like a cute little puppy and I just said, wow, what a cute little puppy they're using for the Budweiser super bowl commercial.
Rod Ryan
Their mouth.
Alex
And then the puppy mill people came after me. I mean, came after me. I'm like, what? I just said it was a cute commercial, cute dog. You know, there's this many. They know the stats and everything about, you know, how many dogs are abandoned.
Rod Ryan
That one came from a puppy mill, I think so.
Alex
One of the. One of the years. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Budweiser just publicize that.
Alex
You would think that I made the commercial.
Rod Ryan
Rodney.
Alex
I'm not lying. They went right to Sherman and everybody here. It was wild, wild. So that's it. Puppy mills. Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Mo
We all agree that.
Rod Ryan
That bad.
Alex
I hate them. Terrible. All right, we've got sold out tame Impala tickets coming your way at 8:20. I think I'm going to scrap the game. I was going to do freeway battle. Oh, I can't do that to you today.
Rod Ryan
Like a rough day.
Alex
There's people driving with their hazards on
Rod Ryan
every freeway is a battle.
Alex
I am going to be giving away the tickets, but I'm going to scrap the game today for sure.
Mo
Houston's rocking alternative, the Rod ryan Morning Show.
Rod Ryan
6 to 10am I am 94. 5 the Buzz.
Alex
94. 5 the Buzz Rob Ryan show on this wild card Wednesday. That's our Instagram feature. But, man, crazy. The crazy criminal blog page. I do want to get into it. There's a lot on there. Alex has already mentioned something on there. Some football players in trouble. I don't know. Yeah. I don't even know that he's headlining it. There's so much crazy. There's so much crazy going on in the world right now. I don't normally push too hard on the blog page for the crazy crimes, but man, it's juicy today. Like this weather. I guess that's one thing you could call it's juicy. Outside, it's juicy. It's a nasty juice that's coming down right now. Mo Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Thank you. It's an active weather day, Rod, making for a very messy morning. Still rain overnight. Those thunderstorms, heavy winds you're driving into work this morning. The heavier rounds of rain are moving through. It looks like around 3, 4pm this afternoon. Things could dry out before more rain overnight tonight. Yesterday, the Senate advanced a war powers resolution that would limit President Trump's authority in Iran. The first time in eight attempts the Democrats have been able to move the measure forward. They got four Republicans that crossed party lines to make it happen. If the resolution passes, it would direct the president to remove US Forces from Iran. The full Senate will still need to pass the resolution. And even if it clears both checks chambers, Trump is expected to veto it. Google changing its search box for the first time in 25 years.
Alex
What are they doing? It's. I just. I went to google.com.
Rod Ryan
it looks the same.
Alex
Right. Get ready for the story.
Rod Ryan
Right.
Alex
You know what's amazing?
Rod Ryan
What?
Alex
They have kept that thing so clean.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
For all of these years. That's why people use it.
Rod Ryan
Man.
Alex
I don't want to.
Mo
I don't want to see other stuff. I want to go there. I want to type and I'll be done.
Alex
But can you imagine what they must have been offered? Can you imagine the kind of money that somebody must have offered to just say, put me in the corner here,
Mo
Put some ads up.
Alex
Yes, they have. That's why they work. They have kept that Google page so unbelievably clean. Now I know they got all these Multiple streams of income coming in from everywhere else and people are paying to be higher up in the search. I get all of that. But that is unbelievable that that page is ad free. If you just go to google.com, that's kind of nostalgic. Wait, some Saudi Arabian guy, like, he didn't have enough money to get on that page.
Mo
Google probably just like, no, dude, this is our thing.
Alex
Okay.
Rod Ryan
Until now they're just changing a little bit. They're updating it with the AI shift. The dimensions of the search bar are going to be changing. You're probably not going to notice it right now because you haven't updated to the newest Google landing page. But the box is going to be bigger, more interactive so that you can ask long, longer questions. You can do the whole photo video upload. You can ask questions vocally. It's going to give you more AI options.
Alex
Can I ask you a question?
Rod Ryan
Sure.
Alex
I just haven't really looked for long at the Google homepage. You ever click that I'm feeling lucky thing?
Rod Ryan
No.
Alex
No. Or. Well, it's got a scrolling thing like when you. You hover over it. I'm feeling curious gifts. I'm feeling trendy. I'm gonna click on it. I'm feeling trendy right now. What happens? Oh, it's all the trends. Okay.
Rod Ryan
Oh, that's cool.
Alex
What happens when, oh, I'm feeling stellar. What comes up? There's a classic NASA. Oh, NASA stuff.
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
That's weird.
Rod Ryan
I've never.
Alex
That must. That must be for someone that's not looking for something specific.
Rod Ryan
Like when I go to Google, I'm looking for something specific.
Alex
Me too.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. I'm not just going to wander.
Alex
That's what that thing must be.
Rod Ryan
Wanderers.
Alex
Hey, let me find something cool for you to look at.
Rod Ryan
They have more time than I do.
Alex
Get a job.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Nashville officially getting the Super bowl in 2030. NFL owners voted yesterday during their meetings in Orlando. This is exactly why they built that new stadium. Are working on it. Looks like that decision paid off for them. And Nashville will be a great host. Giant party. Billy Joel also in the headlines today. Biopic in the works. And he's not happy about it. And in fact he is not behind it at all. He doesn't have the rights or he's not releasing the rights to anything about his life or the rights to his music either. So what does that mean for a biopic? Means you're done, right?
Alex
That means what?
Rod Ryan
You can't have one without permission.
Alex
You can. It'll absolutely fail.
Rod Ryan
Be sucky.
Alex
Because you won't be able to use the music or anything like that if he's not around. Although you do get, you do get, get other storylines.
Rod Ryan
You get like you could do like some naughty stuff.
Alex
You get some honest things that really happened.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
That Billy, if he was on set wouldn't allow. Ah, but, but to have Billy Joel and just doing nonsense things on the piano and not really using his music, that movie will fail.
Rod Ryan
Bye guys.
Alex
It won't work. And it's up to this era here. I know you love the 80s, Joel. Oh, so it's pre this, it's from, from this on or it's from this. This is the like the end kind of like Michael Jackson. They don't get any of the cool stuff that or not the cool stuff any of like the later the salacious stuff of Michael Jackson's career. It's like it goes up to a certain point like okay, everybody still thinks this is a good guy. Let's end the movie here.
Rod Ryan
That that movie's number one and has been.
Alex
Yeah, it has.
Rod Ryan
Who knows. But those are Houston's headlines.
Alex
There we go. Astros win.
Mo
Yeah, they got by the Twins 2 to 1 last night. Isak Parades hit a two run home run in the first inning and that's all the offense they needed. They're going to wrap up their series the Twins this afternoon. Mike Burroughs is going to be on the mound for this. Drills going up against Minnesota's Joe Ryan pitches at 12:40. You can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Cavs in overtime 115 to 104. New York came back from a 22 point fourth quarter deficit to force overtime in that game. That is what's going on in sports, rock and alternative for Houston.
Rod Ryan
The Ride ryan Morning Show 6 to 10am the The Buzz

You said we might get a little bit of relief here and there but then it'll be back. So kind of skanky all day. Sorry, can't do much.
Rod Ryan
Some folks are trying to do graduations outside tonight.
Alex
Several people have the one they called him. Oh yeah, he messaged us and then someone else. There's a bunch of different grad graduations. Those are.
Rod Ryan
They moved them to today to try and avoid rain and then they got it.
Alex
Rain today. That stinks. I Know that stinks. Graduation. Mine was. High school was outside. College was inside.

I'm going to want you to go and check these things out. You had mentioned there was a football player. Normally like a big celebrity like that. It's like okay, that'll get the headlines on the crazy criminal blog page. What's his name?
Mo
Rashi Rice.
Alex
Yeah, he got busted with weed but he's on probation so.
Mo
Yeah, he also like was racing.
Alex
Yeah, not a good guy years ago
Mo
and that's why he's on probation.
Alex
Not a good guy. You can listen to the 911 audio clip. A kid called while he's in the car, reported his own mom was driving drunk and they were going about 100 miles an hour in the car. The kid called 911. He's a teenager. Teenager in the car, like what? And then a woman gave birth to a kid in a Brooklyn court courtroom. She's being arraigned on drug possession charges. She has the kid right there in the courtroom. I'm telling you, the crazy criminal. And then there's some influencer that plotting to kill their rock star husband.
Mo
That sounds bad.
Alex
The crazy criminal blog page is crazy today. Happy birthday to cherry.
Rod Ryan
Happy birthday.
Alex
80 years old.
Rod Ryan
No way is she
Alex
the oldest person that I would still smash. Would you smash Share? No. No. You think it's wild without the glam squad? Yeah.
Rod Ryan
What if the glam squad was there?
Alex
You can't glam squad everything.
Mo
There I'd be, I think the only
Alex
glam squad anxiety from the shoulders up.
Rod Ryan
80 80.
Alex
I think I take a spin on that chair. Looks amazing. The last time we saw her was at stupid met gala and I just, I, I just saw pictures of her and I'm like God, is she still
Rod Ryan
dating that 30 year old guy?
Alex
Yeah, yeah, he's smashing. Ask him. Alex, talk to him. See if he'll talk to you.
Rod Ryan
I Jane Fonda.
Mo
How old is Christy Franklin?
Alex
78.
Mo
I knew Christy Franklin.
Rod Ryan
Ever share Goldie Han?
Alex
No.
Rod Ryan
Really?
Alex
No.
Rod Ryan
I saw her recently and it was a little rough.
Alex
You got to look at some of the classics that are really getting up there now.
Rod Ryan
I'm trying to think of who I
Alex
bet you maybe an Margaret when she was 80 but now she's 85 like Sophia Loren. I bet you if it was 80 I probably would but now she's like an her 90s. No, I think shares the oldest one that I'd smash.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
I think she's the current oldie, but still smashable.
Rod Ryan
No, not Jane Fonda.
Alex
Jane Fonda.
Rod Ryan
She looks pretty good.
Alex
No, there's something hateable about her. Oh, I. I actually, I got. I got a little chuckle out of Gene Simmons. I met him a couple of times, and I think one of the first. Maybe the first time I met him, shook hands with them. And then I just went, man, it's not every day you shake the hand of somebody that had sex with Cher. And he kind of giggled a little bit.
Rod Ryan
Hysterical.
Alex
He knew I was. He knew I was freaked out. I was freaked out about meeting him. And they even set it up, like, okay, this guy's like fan number one. He's freaking out. And I just. I was trying to deflect.
Rod Ryan
Yes. And I saw the first thing you said.
Alex
I went for the line. It's not every day you shake the hand of somebody that had sex with Cher. And he chuckled a little bit like he didn't hate me.
Rod Ryan
I'm so proud of you. That's good.
Alex
Good.
Rod Ryan
Moved.
Alex
Who else? I pulled that line on someone else.
Rod Ryan
Someone else. Share.
Alex
Oh. What was a reversal?
Rod Ryan
What?
Alex
For some reason, Sybil Shepherd. You can look her up. She was on the show Moonlighting.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
With Bruce Willis. That's what she's probably most known for.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alex
Asked her in the interview, yes or no, did you have sex with Elvis? She wouldn't confirm it, but the way that she looked at me and the way she giggled. She definitely smashed Elvis giggle. I asked her to put her hand on my forehead. I never met anybody that had sex with Elvis before.
Rod Ryan
I'm like, please put your hand on my forehead.
Alex
She did.
Mo
She did. So weird.

Alex
I mean, it was. Was just like a cuckoo. She definitely had sex with Elvis.
Mo
Def.
Rod Ryan

She was beautiful back in the day.
Alex
Sybil Shepard.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.

Rod Ryan
about your dirty forehead.
Alex
Yeah. This forehead. If anybody wants to touch my forehead. The hand that was on Elvis's unit.
Rod Ryan
Uhhuh.
Alex
Has touched my forehead before.

Rod Ryan
Oh, she was in here. She's cute.

She must have. So I remember that interview. I remember when you asked her that question. I also remember she was very, very flirtatious with you.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
And she says that Cybill shepherd offered me her number, that I did not get digits from Cybil Shepherd.
Rod Ryan
Did she offer it?
Alex
I don't think so. But I also. I remember saying, was she being flirtatious with me? A little bit. I don't. Yeah. I'm like, there's no way. There's no way she thinks that I got digits from simple Shepherd.
Rod Ryan
Then check your phone.
Alex
There's no. I promise you I didn't. Okay. I had her layer hand on my forehead. I remember everything about that.
Rod Ryan
That's it.
Alex
The hand that gave Elvis a tuggy was on the. My forehead. But I didn't get numbers. I didn't get digits from Civil shepherd for sure. But I did think she was flirting with me a little bit, but I think that was just her nature.
Rod Ryan
A.
Alex
She was a good interview.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, she was fun.
Alex
Hi, Alex.
Mo
Hello.

Charlotte Flair was kind of. Remember she brought her belt in and I had my fantasy football belt that was bigger than her belt. And I was like, sorry, my belt's bigger.
Alex
And it was.
Mo
I think she got a little kick.
Alex
Forgot about Charlotte Flair. That was a good one.
Mo
She was into it. Rashi Rice is still trending. The chief's wide receiver failed a drug test for marijuana. He was on probation, which is a violation of probation. So now he will spend 30 days in jail. Jail stemming from a arrest that he had over a traffic incident two years ago.

Is this a good example?

Like, yes. Yeah.
Mo
The lesson of the batters probably is this is called.
Alex
Feels like we only go backwards. I know this one. You think this one's better?
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
Okay. Two shows at the Toyota Center. So the one we're giving away is a sold out one. But there is. There are some tickets available for that second show. Are you going?

Alex
If you hear us doing a five day work week week and we give away tickets to Tame Impala four days.
Mo
I didn't get somber tickets. I had to buy my own somber tickets. So I was like, can I get Tam Impala?
Alex
Tampa is cool, though. He.
Mo
Yeah, okay. He. He has a touring band, but he does all the instruments for all the stuff.
Alex
You don't have to get specific. Did you get killed on those somber tickets? Did you buy them after they sold out?
Mo
Well, the only reason I bought them is because my. My good friend Mo likes to sit in the wait line for every concert ever and just see if she can get in to see how much tickets were. And Mo was like, I'll do it.
Alex
That is one of her weirdest.
Mo
I wouldn't have gone if Mo hadn't volunteered to do it. Just because she, like, that's her thing. And so she bought an Ivan motor.
Rod Ryan
I got him floor seats.
Alex
This is a good. This is good character building. Not everybody knows this about you. For funsies, Mo will just get online when tickets go on sale.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
For shows that she has no intent intention on going and just wants to see. She wants the experience.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. I want to be in the trenches with y'. All.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And I want to see, like, what could I get if I wanted to go and.
Mo
Wow, there it's only 240 to get lower ball.
Alex
That's cool.
Mo
And, like, I'll be like, for who? So she be some random band I've never heard of.
Alex
So she poked it through on Somber, got through the 10,000 people that were in front of her, and then told Alex, like, hey, I'm here.
Rod Ryan
I have these tickets. You have three minutes.
Mo
No, she was asking, like, I can do it if you really want to. You said serious.
Rod Ryan
Sure did.
Mo
She did.
Rod Ryan
High five, friends.
Mo
Thank you, mom.
Rod Ryan
I'm excited for y'.
Alex
All. Ran across something online. Seems legit. My BS detector wasn't going off last time I looked. There's about 75,000 likes and about 15,000 comments. Let me back up a second. There was. Was this Polish family when I was young. My mom had us, my sister and I, in Polish dance classes. We'd go to this old Polish woman, Mrs. Vaenik. Vajenik. Spell that. So, yeah. We never called her Mrs. Vaj.
Rod Ryan
No.
Alex
I wonder why, but I wish I would have.
Mo
Probably love that.
Alex
God rest her soul. We used to go down. We used to go to her house. We used to go directly downstairs in the basement. And then we took Polish classes. Polish dance classes. In the rare occurrence that you went upstairs at their house, this was a true Polish family. Now, my dad was Polish.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so your mom was trying to, like, culture you.
Alex
Yes. My dad was, like, just. He was trying to fight the Polish thing, yet he was still trying, you know? His name was Patrick John Ryan. Sounds Irish. He would. He would play the Irish card.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
My dad was Polish. He'd throw around the Pollock term all the time. The two things he'd say about Pollocks, he's like, if he. If he's talking about a Pollock, he's like, they got plastic. Ah, they got plastic on their couches. That was a Pollock thing.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
This. Ms. V. Everything in the house was covered in plastic. Plastic runners on the carpet. Everything was plastic.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
This house. The other thing he'd say is, like, ah, the Pollock. They still got their communion money in their mattress.
Rod Ryan
That's funny.
Alex
Yeah, he would say so. I don't know if you've ever seen plastic on furniture before for sure.
Rod Ryan
Like, great grandma in their house.
Alex
And that's how they sat on their. Their furniture.
Rod Ryan
They never took it off.
Alex
They didn't take it off.
Mo
You never had to, like, clean anything.
Alex
Awesome. This husband online shared a photo of their television remote control.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
And the wife demands that it stay in the plastic bag that it comes in. Opened it up, put the batteries in it and put it back in the bag. And mom of the house is demanding that it stay in the plastic bag.
Rod Ryan
Well, why did everyone lose their privileges? Like, what happened?
Mo
First off, it's the man's job to be in control of the remote.
Alex
So mom shouldn't really have to stay.
Rod Ryan
Like, what, what's your story?
Alex
Well, you know this bit. It's been going on forever. The dirtiest thing in a hotel room.
Rod Ryan
Hotel room? Yes, the remote.
Mo
The rem sometimes to like pretend that they cleaned it.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
So the wife is insisting, as the husband says, that we have the remote to keep it looking good. And they're not allowed to peel the protective film off the screen for the same reason.
Mo
You only got one remote.
Alex
It's staying in the bag.
Mo
In 20, 26, you got one remote.
Alex
He goes to the Internet for this. And the Internet is losing their ever loving mind on it. I mean, everyone's got comments. It's very funny. Yeah, it's very funny. The best one is, honey, we got company. Bring out the good remotes. Like, you're so weird. You want. Now I'll say this about the remote control controlled. And it might even be. I don't know if it's the Comcast one, but man, if you start using Clorox wipes on that thing, it'll get gummy.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
And you. There's no returning like that company. There's no returning from the gummy remote. Yeah, and it's sticky. It's eternally sticky. And you're stuck with it.
Rod Ryan
Cuz it's like $12 to get a new one.
Alex
Cuz it's not the hard plastic store.
Mo
And like fix this.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. And they'll just give it to you a new one
Mo
by my store weekly.
Alex
There's things that I want to keep looking good. Am I again, this is. It's just one. It's the weirdest thing. And it's one of those things that I feel is absolutely legit.
Rod Ryan
You want to do it? Are you regretting that you haven't done it already?
Alex
I don't hate it. I don't hate it.
Mo
But most people have like 17 remotes. Like you have the little tiny one and then you get the one for the main tv and then you get the actual cable box one, if you have cable. So you're gonna keep them all in three separate bags or is it gonna be one big bag for all?
Alex
I'm an idea man.
Mo
Okay.
Alex
Remote rubbers.
Rod Ryan
Like a condom.
Alex
Yeah, I like that. Remote rubbers.
Mo
You know those things that like women get to put their shoes on the back of the door. It's like, clear. Just do that. But just put remotes on it.
Alex
Everybody has their own, too. You gotta, like. Gotta slide it in when you want to use the remote.
Mo
Yeah, I'm just saying, give me a little code password.
Alex
I mean, remote condoms, sure, but remote rubbers. The alliteration.
Rod Ryan
You're right. It sounds cool.
Alex
I like it.
Mo
Somebody would buy them.
Alex
It struck a nerve with people. It's. It's getting a lot of hits. Another person said, don't you think the TV will overheat if you don't take the plastic. Plastic off the remote. Think about it. Think about it. Next time you see that, the TV might start smoking. The remote's in plastic.
Mo
It can't breathe.
Alex
If traffic feels tolerable, then Rod is doing his job. The Rod ryan show on 94. 5. The bus 94. 5. The buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. That, of course, is pod alive. And this is Wild Card Wednesday. I. I just went and clicked on. I'm getting a couple of shot ideas, things that have been said, and some people still trying to get involved in our process of coming up with a shot special for Ditch Day. Ditch Day is next Friday. We're gonna be over at Cactus Cove. But that got me thinking. Chili did add some things as we're getting ready for the Rod Ryan Show. Ditch Day at Cactus Cove, next Friday. Casino parties unlimited. Yeah. These guys have come out to the last couple of golf tournaments. They're so much fun, and it's just going to be for fun, but I. I imagine they're bringing a couple of tables out or something that we can kind of play along and. And they'll teach you. They're like, rod, come on over here. I'm in the middle of my golf tournament, our golf tournament. And they'll like, rod, come over here. I'll show you. It's real easy. It is not real easy.
Rod Ryan
No.
Alex
You're not going to teach me craps in 15 minutes. As I'm standing there, you know, having a beer boom. Of them trying to get around to all the different golf holes they try. And I'm like, has anybody ever learned to play craps in 15 minutes? I can't.
Rod Ryan
I'm so.
Alex
I. My head doesn't wrap around it. I love these guys, and I'm so glad they're going to be a part of it.
Rod Ryan
Spend a little more time with them.
Alex
You know who else is coming out?
Rod Ryan
Who?
Alex
House of Bounce. Alvin.
Rod Ryan
Shut up.
Alex
We. I was with Mo, and we Got to this hole and, oh, my goodness. If you played in the golf tournament, these guys have every fun and games. Blowup, Adult ninja, Cor Ninja courses, ninja warrior courses, everything. They just have the games over there. And what you would do is you go. You would contact the House of Bouncing and Alvin, House of Bounce, Alvin on Instagram. If you're having a party, even if you just want one thing, they can bring out putting greens. There's games they can play, almost like carnival games.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
This guy has everything. There's nothing that he like. He finds these things and he buys it up, and then he just adds to his. To his stable of all these things that he can bring out to a party. Mo and I and my girl girlfriend, we were in some kind of a ninja warrior. We were in this inflatable octagon, and there was this big inflatable wrecking ball, and we were all trying to knock each other off. Yeah, it was so much fun.
Rod Ryan
It was really fun.
Alex
He's coming out and he's gonna set up a bunch of his things.
Rod Ryan
I'm nervous. What's he bringing out at Ditch Day?
Alex
I don't know what he's bringing yet, though. He's got everything, though. So I guess we can go look at the menu and say, hey, bring this with this, this, and this. All kinds of games and things that. That he has. So he's been added to Ditch Day. Guys, Ditch Day. You're all invited. There is no charge. There is. This is an adult party, though. I know, like, kids are going to be. A lot of kids will be out of school. This is not something to bring the kiddos to. This is something that you come during the day. Get someone to watch the kids, throw them in a camp, whatever. Throw them in some encampment, whatever.
Rod Ryan
Camp. Summer camp.
Alex
Yeah, summer camp. That's right. Get her in a camp and come out and party with us. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative all day. And the Rod ryan Morning Show.
Rod Ryan
94. 5 the buzz. 94.
Alex
5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show on this wild card Wednesday. All right, we're gonna move. We're gonna get right into it, Mo. Houston's headlines. What you got?
Rod Ryan
Oh, you know it's raining outside.
Alex
It is.
Rod Ryan
I was just refreshing to see if anything had changed since early this morning.
Alex
No, the rain is still raining.
Rod Ryan
Still raining. And it still looks like PM this afternoon. Things could dry out before more rain overnight tonight. So we do have our fingers crossed for all of y' all that are trying to get in graduation, this Evening. We'll see what happens. Nationally, the State Department is warning against travel to several nations experiencing the growing Ebola outbreak. So officials are strongly urging US Citizens from visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, or Uganda for any reason. Reason. And since all of that's been going down, we know that an American physician that was working in the impacted area was the first American to test positive for the virus. Foreign passport holders are restricted from entering the US if they've been to one of those places in the last three weeks. Except the national soccer team from the Democratic Republic of Congo. They're actually set to live, practice, and play a match in human Houston during the World cup this summer. The perfect male and female forms have been updated, and sadly. Rod dad bods are out.
Mo
Come on.
Rod Ryan
I know. I'm sorry. I'm just here to report the news.
Mo
Our body is not up to you.
Rod Ryan
It is a survey. And they asked people by showing side by side comparison images and asked people to choose which physique they found most attractive.
Alex
So what do they use? Like, someone that looks like me, like chewed bubblegum. And they put him next to what?
Rod Ryan
I don't know.
Alex
John Cena.
Rod Ryan
It's probably like, do you like A or B? And then the next one, do you like A or C? And then the third one, A or D? And you know, they got a good comparison.
Mo
Who's the dude version of Lizzo?
Alex
Charles Barkley.
Rod Ryan
Oh, my gosh.
Alex
No, he looks pretty good. He lost a lot of weight. Lizzo, too. Yeah, but Barkley lost more weight than Lizzo.
Mo
The dream woman. Remember?
Alex
That was like that body, positive sensitivity, movement.
Mo
That whole magazine cover.
Rod Ryan
So this is showing.
Alex
But it's funny. What's the so for guys? What is now the optimal perfect male
Rod Ryan
body is only 15 body fat.
Alex
It's pretty lean.
Rod Ryan
Lean.
Alex
That's pretty damn lean in comparison.
Rod Ryan
The quote unquote perfect female body is 30 body. So we get more curves allowed.
Alex
Really?
Rod Ryan
But basically, I'm just telling you the dad sting.
Mo
I feel like I'm being shamed.
Alex
But you don't like my lady humps.
Mo
I see how it is.
Rod Ryan
I did not.
Alex
I see. With the girls, it's do as I say, not as I do.
Rod Ryan
I got beef. Okay. This whole drama started when Youngblood posted a video saying that live music has gotten inaccessible. Talking about concert ticket prices, talking about
Alex
guys that have, like 5% body fat.
Rod Ryan
He's very lame.
Alex
Both of them.
Rod Ryan
He was pushing for cheaper fan experiences, like his Blood Fest festival thing. All right, well, then Machine Gun Kelly blasted him on Social media. In a since deleted comment, MGK accusing Youngblood of canceling his tour because he couldn't sell tickets, not because they were too expensive. And so they're going back and forth, but Youngblood is not involved. He says, I'm too busy for this.
Alex
You think these guys. Guys dm. Somebody's like, hey, bro, I don't have any beef with anybody right now. You want to beef? Want to get the news just to beef? You want dumb Rod to talk about it in Houston? He'll. He'll bite.
Rod Ryan
Fans have suspected tension for years after the two kind of stopped hanging out. Cuz there for a while, they were bros. Oh, okay.
Alex
I didn't know this.
Rod Ryan
Yes. So now that MGK is publicly commenting, people are like, see, you can't hide the truth. Truth. Who knows?
Alex
I gotta go. Youngblood on this one, I'm team Youngblood. You're mgk?
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Like in an octagon or in a words battle?
Mo
Both. I couldn't understand what Youngblood would be
Alex
saying most of the time, which would make it even more fun to hang out with him.
Rod Ryan
Dave Grohl, also in the news because he cringes at himself. There's a show called Hot Ones Versus. It's the one where they either answer a question or eat the whole hot wing.
Alex
And the whole band was on the show.
Rod Ryan
All of the Foo Fighters were there.
Alex
He gets everybody involved, even the new drummer. Everybody was there.
Rod Ryan
Dave Grohl was asked to name the band's cringiest lyric, and he said, take your pick. I swear, there's so many I hate. He ended up choosing a lyric from the song DOA that goes, it's a shame we have to die, my dear. No one's getting out of here alive. And he said, that's just stupid.
Alex
I'm sure he's written cellular lines in
Rod Ryan
that, but that's just the first one.
Alex
That's the one he came up with. So he answers the question. He gets out of eating the super, super hot wing death wing. Yeah, they had Pat on there. Everybody. They were struggling.
Rod Ryan
You'll have to go watch it.
Alex
I would not last long on that. No, it's uncomfortable.
Rod Ryan
I don't want to do it. Lots of famous people do it.
Alex
I know. That's the point. But you guys that eat these super hot wings that claim to like them, do you like. Is it. You like the taste of it or you just love your mouth on fire?
Rod Ryan
You love the attention.
Mo
The attention is probably a big point.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Houston's headlines. Yeah.
Alex
There you go. Alex what you got?
Mo
Astros got a win last night. They got by the Twins 2 to 1. Isak Parades hit a two run homer in the first inning. And that's all the offense the Astros needed. The rest of them, they're going to wrap up their series with the Twins this afternoon. Mike Burrows will be in the mound for the STRS going up against Minnesota's Joe Ryan. First pitch is at 1240 and you can listen to the game on our sister station sports talk. 7 90. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Cavaliers in overtime 115 to 104 after overcoming a 22 point fourth quarter deficit to force overtime. That is what's going on in sports.
Alex
Houston's rock, Houston's alternative and home of
Rod Ryan
the Rod ryan Morning Show. 94. 5 the buzz. 94.
Alex
5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show on this wild card Wednesday. Thank you. You rolling with us. Some of you have been really dealing and Mo's been here with you all morning long dealing with this awful traffic. Some of these places have not really fully opened up yet. Some of these areas of congestion, they've
Rod Ryan
been blocked all morning. Like what are y' all doing? Are you hungry?
Alex
What's the worst spot?
Rod Ryan
It looks like the one on the east side, that 610 north loop eastbound.
Alex
Sorry guys, completely close.
Rod Ryan
That's the one with the two 18 wheelers.
Alex
And I don't feel this way. Of course I want you to spend as much time money as I don't want you to spend money. I want you to spend as much time with us as possible. But I wouldn't wish upon, I, I don't wish you guys to have extra traffic so that you're spending more time with us. I just hope that it's a little bit easier, you get to spend a little bit more time with us. But no, I don't wish that awful traffic on anybody. Rain throughout the day too. Must be talking about Ditch Day. We're not putting up 600 names to vote on Friday, right?
Rod Ryan
Is that, we've got to narrow it down.
Alex
Is there five shot names before, before you do that, I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask you to maybe like, is there a, do you see like a clear cut? Is there a Mount Rushmore of all those? We got a bunch of names in here that are potential shot names for our party. Bunch of new stuff was added. Added. You can go check out the blog page. We're inviting everybody out to ditch Day next Friday. We're gonna be at Cactus Cove. It's just a Party. It's day drinking. That's all it is, is day drinking.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, we want to hang out.
Alex
We want to hang out with you. We got some friends coming out now. We're starting to fill the place with some tents and some activities for you guys. So it's gonna really, really be fun. But of course, the official shot, the biz, the. The biggest shot. San sale. In sheer numbers of shot sales, nothing will ever be the year we did the chili brown. I can't remember. Logan said that they. They couldn't keep whatever the alcohol that was used for the chili brown that year.
Rod Ryan
Stop. What was it? Do you remember?
Alex
It ran out. I don't know. It was like a Mexican candy shot or something.
Rod Ryan
Yummy.
Alex
Something. It definitely had tequila in it. The chili brown definitely had tequila in it. I accused this country. Country of not making as big a deal of the 250th birthday that's coming up. You tried and you guys seem to think that it is big. I'm gonna go back to my original comment. I was around. I was a little kid. 1770 or in 1976.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
It was 200 years. They struck coins every now and then. You get a bicentennial coin still. And it looks cool.
Rod Ryan
What does it look like?
Alex
Like, stop.
Rod Ryan
A bicentennial coin. What's. Which one's that?
Alex
A quarter from 1976.
Rod Ryan
That's it. It didn't look any different. It just was a quarter from.
Alex
No, it was a bicentennial.
Rod Ryan
I mean, like, is it a buffalo nickel? Like, you know when you get one of those.
Alex
When you get a bicentennial coin, you know it.
Rod Ryan
Oh, really?
Alex
Yeah, you'll get like, you'll see. Look up a 25 cent piece from 1976 and you'll see that it was a bicentennial. It's 50. It's not as big as 200. And 300 will be bigger than whatever we do with 250. But some guy said you could change that. Rod, what about the Freedom250 shot?
Mo
I don't hate that.
Alex
I get nervous. I get nervous. I get nervous about using the word free. Free and shot. Okay. The bar has to make some money here. Come on. You can't charge for freedom, can you? Yes, you can.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, actually the greatest honor.
Alex
Yeah, but is there some kind of patriotic shotgun for your freedom?
Rod Ryan
Freed mate, free.
Alex
I'm not saying that. I'm not even striking freedom 250 as being not the name. Maybe put that. Jot that down for now.
Rod Ryan
Freedom 250.
Alex
Freedom 250 shot.
Rod Ryan
I like it.
Alex
You've seen a bicentennial quarter before?
Rod Ryan
Yeah, now that I'm looking at it.
Alex
Silly goose.
Rod Ryan
I just didn't know that's what it was called. That's just the drummer boy.
Alex
Yeah. It's a bicentennial. That came out in 76. Are they striking 250? Are they striking like 250? Is it bicentennial and a half? How do you. What do you say? 250?
Rod Ryan
I don't know.
Alex
I don't know either. Buy special currency. Buy five centennial. I don't know what you call it. That's why it's not as big. But that wouldn't be a bad idea for a shot. We're going to. Are we voting on Friday?
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
For the shot. I like the sloppy Toppy. I like the punch monkey. I like the. I know it's written the smallest. He's trying to deny how the greatness of the exploding Julie
Rod Ryan
lives on the
Alex
farting horse is weird. It's funny. It was funny one day. Now most people won't know if you weren't listening that day when I played the horse farting on the air. I don't want to go back to that well and start playing the horse fart every day. I don't want to be the guy that misses the hall of fame. I can't be playing farting horses on the radio every day. Huh? The nut.
Rod Ryan
Thumbtack, thumbtack.
Alex
It's just so hard to say.
Rod Ryan
I love it.
Alex
The nutsack thumbtack. Is there one that you love, Alex?
Mo
I like nutsack thumbtack, nut.
Alex
I can't even say it's sober.
Mo
Nutsack, thumbtack. Nutsack thumbtack, nut saack thumbtack.
Alex
That's good. It's good.
Mo
All right.
Alex
Friday we're going to vote if you have some shot ideas.
Mo
Names.
Alex
Don't worry about the ingredients. I'll let the pros handle that. But if you got some ideas, you can email us right now. You're shot at a thousand dollars. Come on.
Mo
Houston's Rock and Alternative and the Rod ryan Morning show.
Alex
6 to 10am the buzz.
Rod Ryan
94.
Alex
5 the buzz. Good morning. Rod Ryan Show. All right, you ready for this? A semi quincentennial. That's what we're going to be experiencing our 250th. So the bicentennial was 7. 1976. 2026. A semi quincentennial.
Rod Ryan
And write that down.
Alex
They're making coins.
Rod Ryan
They're going to all over a bunch of coins.
Alex
They're going to strike four different quarters. Cool.
Mo
Can't make pennies anymore. No, we can have special quarters.
Alex
Yeah. So there's going to be some quarters. I'm on the United States Mint website.
Mo
What about Paul Revere silver? I heard that's a thing today.
Alex
Well, and that's one of the ones. I see one of those, like Quaker looking dudes. All I can think of is those jack. All I think of is those jackasses on the sidelines at the Patriots games. They've ruined that look for me. Those stupid cosplayers and their muskets. Colonists. Yes. So, yeah, there is a name for what we got coming up. It is a big deal. They're making coins. And now we have a shot suggestion for. Oh, my God. There's all kinds of names for the 250th. There is a Quarter Millennial. There's a Sester Centennial. There's a Bices Quincentennial.
Rod Ryan
Not remembering any of these.
Alex
And the 250th anniversary.
Rod Ryan
Let's just go with that 250.
Alex
So what's our 250 shot?
Mo
Freedom 250.
Alex
The Freedom 250. It's a cool name. It'd be a cool shot.
Rod Ryan
Free to mate.
Alex
Free to make. Free.
Mo
Free bird.
Rod Ryan
Free.
Alex
Oh, boy.
Rod Ryan
Oh, it could be hockey and 250.
Alex
Everything.
Mo
I like the pre bird. Free Bird. And then that doesn't make it seem
Rod Ryan
like it still says free.
Mo
But wait, you get it. You know it. Free bird.
Alex
Does it have to include wild Turkey if it's Free bird?
Mo
It doesn't have to. But I don't want. I want American. Whatever.
Rod Ryan
It could just be a freebird and be like red, white and blue.
Mo
I would like it to be American.
Alex
I was thinking of the whole separated shot. We don't have time to be doing all that nonsense of separating shots.
Mo
Sparkler in it.
Alex
We are semi outdoors online. It's Alex online. 94.5The Muzz give an M80 away with every shot.
Mo
Oh, dude. Like so many people would just blow
Alex
up glasses like that and be over. That's it. The shot's called the mortar.
Mo
M1000 was like little baby dynamites you'd have and you'd put it in like a puddle and it would blow up stuff.
Alex
Yeah. All right, Come on. Enough.
Mo
AOL is called celebrity birth names. And you're going to see how many of these celebrities you can name just by looking at their.
Rod Ryan
Oh, it's hard.
Mo
Do you know who Stephanie, Joanne? Angelina. Jermaine.
Alex

Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
They're in for the backpack program. They want in on the backpack program again this year. So. Angel, I haven't talked much about it because of the Rod Ryan show Cares online store not up yet. We're working on some new designs and, and I got stuff to Deb way late this year, so I know that they're working on these new designs. Our friends over at BMP plus, she's just had to get all the ditch day stuff for us ready. But the Rob Ryan show Cares online store is coming. We'll be raising money for backpacks. That's good news. I'm sure the people over at Houston Children's Charity are listening like, well, Rod, you're going to tell people that you're going to help us out again. Yeah, we're going to do the whole backpack thing again this summer. So I'm excited about the program. Program. I just heard Whataburger is going to be in.

Whatever the fun thing is that you guys want to do. There's. There's going to be like, it's going to be backpack day at Willy's. So I'll have dates for you very soon. But they wanted to do the first one. They wanted to come out of the gate popping. So we're gonna do we got some of our friends that we've been working with.
Rod Ryan
Oh, we're so lucky to have so many good people.

I mean, it's their numbers, so I don't know. They could tell us anything and we'd have to believe. Leave them. Maybe they pad them a little bit, but they still release numbers. Some people are very. I mean, we don't even talk about numbers on this show about, like, our numbers. I can tell you that we're doing very well. This is a number one show in the city of Houston, and it's all because of you guys. And I don't brag when the numbers are good. I don't freak out when the numbers are bad. But the numbers have been so good for such a long time, and I don't take that for granted. So let me, before I start talking about tv. TV ratings. Thank you. The ratings on this show. Most hearing from other radio stations about our ratings. And it's like, we're doing really well. Like, we're.
Mo
I like that.
Alex
Crushing it. Thank you, guys.
Rod Ryan
Thank you.
Alex
Kevin Hart. 13.5 million people have viewed the Kevin Hart roast on Netflix in a week's time. I still haven't watched it, so that's a. That's a good number.
Rod Ryan
Seems like it.
Alex
The other number that they released was the Ronda Rousey Gina Carano fight.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
Averaged 12.4 million live viewers. That's a huge win.
Rod Ryan
Live in one night.
Alex
Yeah, that's a massive win. We. The last time we talked about numbers, I think we were talking about American Idol at its peak. You know, the second and third year in, when Carrie Underwood or when Clay Aiken's winning. There's almost 30 million people watching that show, second to Ruben's D. Was that the second year? Yeah, that was year two.
Mo
Yeah. The best year. A lot of people say.
Alex
I think they. I think they were up to 30 million people watching those finales. So TV ratings, there's just too much out there now. Nobody.
Rod Ryan
Too many choices.
Alex
You know, the super bowl is pulling 100 million people, but there's really. I don't think there's anything pulling 30 million people anymore. 12 and a half million people watching Ronda Rousey and Gina carano fight for 17 seconds.
Rod Ryan
Slow night on TV or.
Alex
Well, no, I. No, it was a Saturday night. I. I don't know, I don't know how it works.
Rod Ryan
What did it go up against?
Alex
But Tyson would do that, and you had to pay for those fights.
Mo
I think the fact that if you already had a Netflix subscription and you had nothing going on, this was an easy leg. Hey, why not? Let's just throw this on the background. That's exactly how I consumed it.
Alex
Rhonda, what I read, I don't know. Tell me if you saw something different. Alex, she said, done. Retiring again. Nothing will pull me out. This is the one fight Gina was the only person that I would come out of retirement for.
Mo
She knew she gets to smoker, and then she doesn't really do great with
Alex
losses and pocket 2 mil. Gina has not said that she's not gonna fight again. She's the one. Because she doesn't feel like she did anything.
Mo
She didn't.
Alex
She didn't. She didn't get a chance to. To show us. You know, you can tell by the way that Gina looked. And I'm not saying Rhonda didn't put in the time. Gina's body changed from the announcement of the fight to when they actually fought. She put in the time in the gym. I wonder if she has it in the back somewhere. Hey. Okay, I got. I got caught on that arm bar. But if. If I could have stood up with her for a little bit, I could have showed the world what I've been training for. She didn't get a chance to show off with all that work she put in. Does she want another fight?
Mo
Do you care if she wants another fight?
Alex
If she fought.
Mo
If Gina Carano was fighting and it wasn't Ronda Rousey she was fighting, I would probably have not tuned in. Ronda Rousey got me to tune in. She was the name in this fight. Gina Carano is also a name. I get that. But Ronda Rousey, I think, is why people tuned in.
Alex
Because you're. Oh, Rousey's back.
Mo
Oh, she's fighting Chrono. I also know that name. This is interesting.
Alex
You were younger when she was ruling the world. She was ruling the UFC game. She was the number one draw for a little bit.
Mo
I still remember Gina Kar.
Alex
Do you remember when. And Gina was never ufc, right? Gina was around. Get this. Gina was around when Dana White, ufc, said, girls will never fight in the ufc. And he ate those words. And then he started putting them on as headliners. Somebody like Ronda Rousey, she broke that glass last. Yeah, she did. He couldn't deny the. The gals were getting higher ratings. Than the guys, right? So I don't know if Gina wants to fight. I did see Cyborg's name. I didn't see what she was talking about. Cyborg's the only one that I would tune in for. Probably not. I don't know, maybe depending on what's
Mo
going on that night.
Alex
She was a machine.
Mo
You're going to have to put it on again around this time of year where you're like, hey, it's, it's a light night in sports.
Alex
12.4 million people watching the round of Rousey Gina Carano fight. That's huge.

Hey, Kevin, which famous actress touched Rod's forehead?
Alex
Because I asked Civil Shepherd.
Rod Ryan
Kevin knows.
Mo
Oh, the show.
Alex
Yeah, you just. You just won. Now, Sybil shepherd, she must have made a movie with Elvis. And I just assume that Elvis, like, just pounded everyone that he did a movie with.
Rod Ryan
Oh, wow.
Alex
So I asked. I asked her if she had sex with Elvis, and she just kind of giggled at me and looked at me like. I feel like I got the yeah without the yeah. So then I asked her to put her hand on my forehead, the same hand that she used to give Elvis a tuggy,
Mo
and she did.
Alex
Do you feel the power? Yeah, dude.
Rod Ryan
Kevin appreciates my lip.
Alex
My lips. My lips curling up a little bit right now.
Rod Ryan
Talked about it in interviews.
Mo
Hunka hunka.
Alex
She talks about banging Elvis?
Rod Ryan
Yep, she does. Spills details.
Alex
I'm the one that maybe cracked it wide open.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, you kind of made her feel comfortable about it.
Alex
Did she ever mention Rod Ryan tugging on Elvis before she met me? Probably not.
Rod Ryan
Kevin, I am so sorry you're here, but thank you for listening. We've got Blue October tickets for you. You'll be there that third night, December 20th, at that 713 Music hall can. Congrats, friend.

Alex
What?
Mo

Mo
Thank you.
Alex
Thank you all. DJ who slayed the goat yesterday, I believe. Did he slay a fresh fish today?
Rod Ryan
He slayed some big nets.
Alex
Yeah.
Mo
He did say a French fish guy
Alex
beats everybody we put in front of him. All right. Oh, yeah. Big Nuts. Lutz.
Rod Ryan
I liked him. I thought he was so sweet.
Alex
Lutz, you gotta call back. We all love you. You gotta get back on the show. For sure. All right. Brendan won the MGK tickets. Sarah's going to triumph. Adriana got the Tame Impala tickets. All right, that's it. We gotta go. First time I heard this song, this is Elvis, but it's kind of mixed with Junkie xl. It was like when all The DJ when all the Fat Boy Slim stuff was happening. I think it's either a Nike commercial, but if you look up this song and you type in Nike commercial, it's like a secret soccer game and they're playing on this ship and it's like, it's one of the best Nike ads of all time. And it's a soccer commercial. Ronald Dino is in it. That guy, he's in it. A bunch of other big names are in it. You would probably recognize. Go watch that commercial today. You will. You'll say, rod, you're right. One of the best Nike commercials of all time with this song in it. It's one of those extended long form, two and a half, two and a half minute commercials. That's it. What are we doing tomorrow?
Rod Ryan
I'll be here.
Alex

From traffic rants to classic rock trivia, the show embodied its "most interactive" tag, taking listener calls, reading real-time emails, and riffing on everything Houston.

Takeaway for Non-Listeners:
This episode is a perfect snapshot of Houston life: unpredictable weather, strong listener engagement, local news with a comedic twist, rock giveaways, and community-driven hijinks, all delivered at breakneck, uncensored-morning-radio speed.
