Hey, what you got In Houston's headlines.
Mo the Show
So the United States and Iran reached some sort of agreement yesterday to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Rod Ryan
Let's go.
Mo the Show
The agreement capped 108 days of conflict, and President Trump announced the deal on True Social while hosting the UFC Freedom250 fights on the White House lawn. He was also celebrating his 80th birthday yesterday. Iran's deputy foreign minister confirmed the agreement, and a formal signing ceremony is planned for Friday in Switzerland. All eyes are on our weather, Rod. Activity in the Gulf is bringing more moisture to the greater Houston area today.
Alex
You're right.
Mo the Show
All of southeast Texas under a flood watch. Several areas, flood warning through Wednesday morning. And while the ground is already saturated, let's add some more water. Right. Storms, heavy downpours expected to be widespread. Slow moving, which we hate to hear. Periods of moderate to heavy rain, between 2 to 8 inches possible through midweek. Just know that it's happening and be prepared. The Knicks beat the Spurs 9490 Saturday night to win the NBA championship. The game happened in San Antonio, but that didn't dampen the mood in New York City, now, did it? Fans flooded the streets and, well, started destroying stuff. Fires were set, vehicles were destroyed, including five school buses that were hired to transport work. World cup fans from MetLife Stadium.
Alex
People in Brazil got there to go watch games. Like, people from Brazil went to go watch World cup games. And we're like, we're gonna be the hooligans here. And they were like, what the hell did we walk into? Yeah, right.
Rod Ryan
So Timothy Chalmet, though, like, we can't pin any of this on him.
Advertising Announcer
He was busy, right?
Alex
He was playing.
Mo the Show
He was playing. He was in the Knicks locker room celebrating in San Antonio, like a real fan. Right?
Rod Ryan
Okay, so we can't pin any. Like, he didn't tip over any buses. He was busy dousing himself with champagne.
Alex
So it's. And Silver's doing it, too.
Rod Ryan
Was he in there?
Alex
Yeah, he was taking pictures with the trophy and everything.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, that's cool.
Mo the Show
Also, big sports weekend, Alex. I hope you loved it. The UFC Freedom250 fight card unfolded on the White House south lawn yesterday. A crowd of around 5,000 people attended, tens of thousands more watching on large screens nearby. Fighters made these dramatic entrances out of the White House onto the Octagon. They walked out escorted by first responders, veterans, Medal of Honor recipients, and a lot of talk online about the Marine Corps Band doing those live covers of each fighter's walkout song. Yeah, it was pretty impressive.
Rod Ryan
Listen, there's gonna be people that can't find it in themselves to say something good about this administration. That fight and everything, the way that it was put together looked so cool. It looked awesome.
Alex
I was watching. I was doing a gig last night, and there was a bunch of people from the Curacao, Germany game. And Curacaoans were watching the game with me and they thought it was incredible. Their minds were blown. They're like. They're fighting just in front of the White House. Yeah, yeah. No, it's sick, dude. They're gonna do backflips with Travis Pastrana later.
Rod Ryan
It looked amazing.
Mo the Show
And then in sad news, we learned yesterday morning that musician Oliver Tree tragically passed away in a two helicopter collision in Brazil. There were at least six people on the two choppers. No survivors. One of the helicopters even landed in the parking lot of a car dealership, which ignited at least 20 cars. An investigation is underway, but Oliver Tree was 32, and it recently kicked off a world tour promoting his new album in Brazil. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Take it, Alex.
Alex
The Astros fell to the Royals yesterday for nothing. But they did take two or three from Kansas City over the weekend, though. Tonight they're going to open up a series with the Tigers. Kyrie Tang is going to be on the mound for the shows. Going up against Detroit's Troy Melton. First pitches at 7, 10. You can listen to it on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. In hockey, the Carolina Hurricanes, our Stanley cup champions, they shut out the Golden Knights 3 to nothing in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to win the series four games or two. It's the first title for the Hurricanes since 2006. Rod Brindamore, their head coach, became the fourth player to be the captain of a team and then lead that team to the championship.
Rod Ryan
As a coach, you got to see this guy in the locker room before he. Before he puts the trophy over his head. He takes off his shirt. The coach.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And hoist it over and he is ripped. Oh, yeah, he is.
Alex
No, he has not missed. Like, does not miss Jim.
Rod Ryan
Like, he could have been like, you look like he looks like a player.
Alex
Leg day, chest day, back day. Doesn't miss any of the days.
Rod Ryan
He looks like the most fit player and he's the coach.
Alex
Yeah. I would not want to mess with no more at all.
Rod Ryan
Mo.
Alex
I told you about the Knicks winning their first title since 1973. And then in soccer at the World cup yesterday, Germany beat Curacao 7 to 1. Scored a touchdown at NRG Stadium or Houston Stadium. Excuse me. The Netherlands in Japan played to a 22 draw. Ivory coast got by Ecuador 1 nil. And Sweden beat Tunisia last night 5 to 1. That is what's going on in sports.
Rod Ryan
All right, here we go. We got a lot of ground to cover today on the show. Welcome aboard. Wakey wakey. Do you want that first phone call let us know you're awake. Who's up? Who's ready to go? Maybe you want to reflect on something that happened over the weekend or you just want to say hi, that you're up this morning partying with us already. Okay. 713-212-5945. I got every phone line open right now. The most interactive show on the radio starts right now. 94. 5 the Buzz Good morning Rod Ryan show.

Smack dab in the middle of the month already. Happy birthday.
Mo the Show

Rod Ryan
Oh yeah.
Mo the Show
You get a birthday party over weekend.
Rod Ryan
You had a two year old birthday party over the weekend.
Alex
Little petty zoo action was sick.
Rod Ryan
Very strong, very strong. Chili just came in here and said James is going to have a problem playing today. He's, he's. It's a travel day. It's summer. Everyone's all over the place and everyone's allowed like one of those, hey man, I just cannot make it. He was going for win number three today. He said, hey, if you get in two players, can I, can I come back and play tomorrow? And everybody gets one of those for sure. So James is going to get that pass today. So I need two brand new players today and then we'll have a predetermined matchup tomorrow on the game. So I'll be looking for some fresh fish today. If you're looking for a chance to get on this game, I'll be looking for two new players to get in. Texas Hammer game coming up at 7:20 I mentioned and lots of great tickets throughout the show today. And we're gonna do something with the Texas Hammer. I'm going to be looking for your Hammer pictures. I'm gonna give you guys a homework assignment. I'm gonna give you a couple of days to start working on it and then I'm gonna wait, hang on to those pictures. I'm gonna have you guys post you your picture with a hammer and we're gonna get money for backpacks. From our friends the Texas Hammer. So we're gonna talk about that today on the show. Do we got rain coming? You bet your ass we do. Okay. Scattered thunderstorms are expected over the next couple of days. They're talk already talking about there's chances of flooding going on. So we're gonna get into that this morning. Y the music community. Oliver Tree, who I posted an old interview. There's an Oliver Tree link up today and shocking news of him passing him and a bunch of other people in a helicopter accident. So we're going to talk about that this morning. But Alex had a chance to talk to Oliver tree pandemic times 2020. It had to be six years ago. That link is up on the world famous. Yeah, he was a one of a kind dude. He was one of, I mean his music and then his, his, his Persona, his social impact. I mean his social media impact. What he did, he did something. He did things that no one else had done. And he was such a unique like the word artist in every sense of the word for that guy for sure. So we're going to get into that this morning. So much ground to cover. Phones are ringing.
Mo the Show
It's now time for the first phone call of the day.
Rod Ryan
Bobby. Bobby gets the first phone call today. Good morning, Bobby, how are you? I'm doing good. How you guys doing this morning? So great. I'm gonna have to make this kind of quick. What do you got for the first phone call today? I don't know if this has been suggested before, but maybe we could do like a fresh fish only week for fresh out of bed. Or maybe like do a ladies only week.
Alex
You could if you called in on time.
Rod Ryan
Have you ever played the game? No, I'm a freshman. I've tried several, several times, but haven't got through a fresh fish only week so that you could only people that could play were only ladies only. I mean, you know, I, I see where you're going with that, Bobby.
Mo the Show
So Bobby really wants to play.
Rod Ryan
No idea is a bad idea, right? I, I'm always saying that I want fresh fish. I want new players. I want, you know, but I can't punish those people that do nothing but sit there with 10 phone lines and call all morning a full week that
Alex
they're like not allowed.
Rod Ryan
You cannot punish them for, you know, I mean, they just, they work that much harder. Then you got understood. Then you got a guy that gets on and said, yeah, I've never even called you guys before. I just picked up the phone and boom. I was caller 10. That happens. That happens a lot around here, believe it or not.
Mo the Show
On.
Rod Ryan
So let me think about it. Bobby. I don't think they're. I don't think they're awful ideas. I don't.
Alex
Most of the women don't like to, like, play a game. They like to call and just get, like, prize, you know.
Rod Ryan
Chicks dominated caller 10. I'll say that. That's the truth. They dominate on caller 10. Guys don't worry about so much, about looking silly or not knowing an answer. Girls stress about that for some reason. Like, girls don't want to take a test.
Mo the Show
Is that what it is?
Rod Ryan
I don't know. I. I don't know the psychology behind it.
Mo the Show
It.
Rod Ryan
But I can tell you when we're giving away something and it's caller 10. Chicks dominated that.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
It's not that they don't want to work hard. They just don't want to be put on the spot. And dudes are willing to risk it like that.
Alex
I'm in the patriarchy.
Rod Ryan
But they were. They were willing to risk it for the biscuit. I think we had more chicks playing than dudes. And it's cash. Girls always. Girls always come through on cash when we're giving away cash.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
So let me think about all that stuff. Bobby. I appreciate the call, dude. Thanks for being up early with us.
Alex
I appreciate it.
Rod Ryan
Have a good one, guys. Thank you, my brother. You have a great one. Let me take a quick break. Listen, nothing special. I'm just letting you know I'm looking for some fresh fish, maybe somebody that's never played before. I always encourage I want more ladies to get in on the fresh out of bed. Head to head. We'll start sorting all that out after the break. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative and home of

His record as their coach was 55 and 60. From 1898 to 1907, every other coach has had a winning record.

Thank you, sir. Good morning. The United States and Iran reached some sort of agreement yesterday to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The agreement capped 108 days of conflict. President Trump announced a deal on True Social while he was hosting the UFC Freedom250 fight on the White House lawn as part of his 80th birthday. Iran's deputy foreign minister confirmed the agreement and a formal signing Ceremony is planned for Friday in Switzerland. We are keeping our eyes on the weather, the rain this morning, but also aliens. Rod. The Pentagon released their third batch of declassified UFO files on Friday, you guys. 72 documents in total, including some witness accounts, some videos and investigative reports spanning from the 40s to now. The files produced some vivid but unexplained descriptions, but that's about it.
Rod Ryan
They've been nothing, burgers, everything thing. All my. I have some friends that are like crazy about aliens and UFOs. There's nothing been been released that's been. Oh my God. There's no nukes been dropped at all as far as like aliens.
Alex
Not yet. Whatever they might be.
Mo the Show
Yeah. Hey, Gen Xers are in their 50s, right?
Rod Ryan
You say Gen X. Gen X. Okay, go ahead.
Mo the Show
Gen Xers are in the their 50s.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo the Show
33% of Gen Xers are still dependent on their parents financially.
Rod Ryan
What?
Mo the Show
Remember just a couple weeks ago we were talking about millennials?
Alex
I thought it was just millennials, dude.
Mo the Show
How we were dependent on our parents. 53% of millennials. But upon further digging of this same survey, one out of three, these new numbers are in.
Rod Ryan
Get off the teat.
Mo the Show
We weren't completely shocked when the gen Z years. So 29 years and younger. Sure, 72% of them were still financially dependent on their parents, but you tried to make fun of millennials and now these Gen X numbers are insane. But according to this data from last year, the boomers so 46, 1946 to 1964 hold more than half of American wealth. And that has all of this money that will trickle down to the younger generations eventually.
Rod Ryan
Well, this Gen Xer isn't reliant on his parents.
Mo the Show
Thanks for letting us know.
Rod Ryan
Nor have I been forever. What the hell?
Mo the Show
They're saying that if this money ever trickles down, it's going to take longer because people are living to be older and its cost of living is a lot more. So that's why we're dependent on our parents. We got the news alert over the weekend that James Harden was arrested. Then we saw he was home here in Houston. It appears he was downtown. Has been charged with a misdemeanor, unlawful carrying of a weapon in after a handgun was observed on the seat of a car he owns. The gun was not holstered, it was in plain view. He went to jail, booked around 4:57am later released after paying 100 bond.
Rod Ryan
I'm not like all gunny like you. How. How much in trouble is he for this? Well, or does it depend on like where that gun came from where the gun came from.
Mo the Show
If it was registered to him, if he had been drinking. But we know that he had been.
Rod Ryan
But so far we know it wasn't registered to him, right?
Mo the Show
We don't know that.
Rod Ryan
Oh, we don't.
Mo the Show
It's not in the official files that I'm reading right now.
Rod Ryan
Well, then you can have a gun if it is registered to him. No harm, no foul.
Mo the Show
I don't know what the misdemeanor Unlawful.
Rod Ryan
Gotcha.
Mo the Show
Why? It was unlawful, but it wasn't.
Alex
Do you not have like, is it like if you get a ticket and you don't have your license on you, like, you get the ticket and then
Mo the Show
you can get it, but technically you don't have to have a carry license anymore to carry.
Rod Ryan
But was it just like, does he get in trouble for it just being out and about nilly.
Mo the Show
Just like on the seat, laying on
Rod Ryan
a seat, you get in trouble for that.
Mo the Show
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo the Show
He's potentially going to be a free agent at the end of the month. I don't want to say he still owns a house here. Hey. Blink182 fans celebrated the 25th anniversary of their take off your pants and jacket album on Friday by releasing an expanded edition. So the new version has the OG 13 songs, songs from the original album, six bonus songs, aka boner tracks. These six songs have never appeared together on a single release or been available to stream in one place. And now.
Alex
So when they released the album, they remember secret songs on CDs. Like the last song ends and if you hold down, skip, it goes like 10 minutes in.
Mo the Show
Yeah.
Alex
Each they had take off your pants and jacket and there was a plain pants and a jacket jacket version of the cd. I had the yellow one, which was pants and it had. That was the Tom one, I think. So you got two of them and I believe it was F. A dog was the other one.
Rod Ryan
But you don't have Boner tracks.
Alex
But so yeah. So like they've never released the bonus tracks to Boner tracks. Excuse me. They've never released that to streaming. And so that was why it was a big deal.
Mo the Show
Got it. Did you rejoice? They were all.
Alex
I did listen to them. And then I was like, this is why my maturity is out of a five year old.
Mo the Show
Those are used in said box.
Rod Ryan
Boner is good.
Mo the Show
Thank you.
Alex
Healthy.
Rod Ryan
What you got?
Alex
Astros fell the Royals yesterday, four to nothing. They did take two of three from Kansas City over the weekend, though. Tonight they're going to open up a series with the Tigers. Kyrie Tang is going to be on the mound for the Stroz going up against Detroit's Troy Melton. First pitches at 7:10. You can listen to that game on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. In hockey, the Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley cup champions. They shut out the Golden Knights 3 to nothing in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to win the series four games to two. It's their first title since 2006. In the NBA Finals Saturday night, the Knicks beat the spurs to win their first title since 1973. And then at the World cup yesterday, Germany blew out Curacao 7 to 1. The Netherlands and Japan played to a 22 draw. Ivory coast got by Ecuador 1 nil and Sweden beat Tunisia 5 to 1. That is what's going on in Sports Fan fest.
Rod Ryan
Not happening today. Yeah, I got rained out due to the rain. So if you were planning on heading down there, there not going to go down.
Alex
I'll be hanging out Saturday night also be hanging out. I'll give you some more information.
Rod Ryan
Oh wow. I can't wait to hear about that. All right, here we go. That's one hour in the books. Here comes the gun people. So if you tell us no, in all seriousness, if you guys know this stuff, is Harden in big trouble? What is he in trouble for? What did he do wrong? What could he have done differently? I you say guns and people want to talk. So you can shoot me an email rod@the buzz.com the Ro Ryan Morning Show 6 to 10am the buzz 945 the buzz Good Morning Rod Ryan show on this MILF Monday. Thank you guys so much for being up early with us. Could get a little nasty out there today. They're calling for some scattered storms which could lead to some heavy rain coming down at times, which could lead to, with all this concrete we got could lead to some flooding. So that's like kind of like the thing that they're kind of keeping you in eye keeping an eye on. And it seems like they're being a little proactive on this, knowing that we've got all these visitors in town and it's the worst time to have this happen because there are a ton of people in town. Regardless of, you know, whether hotels are all sold out or what. There are people here and the fan fest is going to be not happening today. It's, I mean not.
Mo the Show
Yeah. Closed.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
They're not even like it might be closed and let's just wait to see what happens. They're like it's not not opening today. Thinking that it's just going to be coming down and for the safety of everybody involved. So that kind of blows. So sorry to our people that are visiting us. That game you talked about, the Germany game that was here, right? Yeah, that was the one. That was last night, yesterday afternoon.
Alex
But the fan fest, all the Germans in curs Allens are all hanging out afterwards. It was pretty cool. The Germans, I was. I was Sunset rooftop shout out to them. They had an awesome party last night, but the Germans were there. A lot of Germans were there. And they would show the highlights in between games, and every single time, like, they'd act like they were watching it for the first time.
Rod Ryan
Oh, yeah, it was pretty cool. I did some traveling over the weekend. Had to go back to Ohio, Long story. But I was just in a couple of airports, you know, because I had no direct flight. And you could kind of see people walking around. Obviously, you've seen anybody walking around with a kilt on. That was a giveaway that they were doing some sort of. They were doing some sort of World cup trap travel. But you could just see. And it was always older, white, balding men that were wearing team jerseys that were kind of traveling together. You know, they had the money to get up and do it, but you could tell there were World cup travelers. Yeah, I didn't see, like, big groups of people, but I saw pairings. And it's just. You saw them, and it was like a celebrity spotting, like, oh, I bet they're here. I bet they're from another country. Country. And they're here traveling for the World Cup. Yeah, you can see it in airports. So you'll hear an accident. Oh, they definitely are traveling. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that, too. That, too. It was just, you know, it's just like, oh, I bet you they're here
Alex
for the World Cup.
Rod Ryan
Cool. Welcome to our country. So, World cup underway. We now have a champion for the NBA. We have a champion for the NHL. Yeah, you had. It's still surreal, the UFC fight that happened on the. On the. The south lawn of the White House, with the White House as the backdrop. Whoever did the staging, that claw, whoever did the lighting, the whole setup of that thing. I'm sorry. Not sorry. It looked so badass. It looked badass. I'm sorry. Yeah, it looked so cool.
Advertising Announcer
It was done.
Rod Ryan
Done so well. They really put some thought and time into it because they knew they were being heavily criticized and didn't give af. Still did the fights anyway. And I think the big worry was the weather.
Mo the Show
You thought might rain.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, you didn't want to have that sucker rained out, even though the, the octagon itself was partially covered. But you got rain coming down sideways.
Alex
It would have lightning or anything like that.
Rod Ryan
Then they would have had to. Yep. It would have ruined that whole event. And I know people were probably hoping that that was going to happen.
Alex
They looked pretty sweaty. It looked like it was not, not warm there.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. These fighters are used to fighting indoors in climate controlled buildings. And it came off. I didn't watch all of it. I had to go to bed. But Derrick Lewis, unfortunately did not win. Our friend, the black Beast.
Alex
Personal friend. Yeah, yeah.
Rod Ryan
Personal friend of the show. But, you know, I'm watching a little bit of it with London. I question watching it with London because, you know, you're seeing these guys and there's blood and stuff.
Alex
Teaching her about America.
Rod Ryan
And so we did watch a little bit of it and that's the first time she's ever watched UFC fight. She's like, why would anybody want to get punched in the face? But as I've looked, looking, and I'm seeing Daniel Cormier, I said, he's been in the studio with us before. She's like, no way. And I see Joe Rogan, I go, he's been in the studio.
Alex
Those are the two sweatiest guys.
Rod Ryan
I go, those guys, they've been on Daddy's show, you know, and then seeing some other people, I'm like, they've been in the studio with us before. And she was like, wow, that's really cool.
Alex
You show t ot's knocking me out.
Rod Ryan
No, we didn't watch this one.
Mo the Show
She's not quite ready for that, but
Rod Ryan
I'll get her ready for it. But it just, it was, it was wild. Surreal, was a spectacle. It really, it really was the definition of surreal. Having that. I didn't really see much of the Nitro Circus guys on Saturday. Just some clips of.
Alex
I saw the highlights, which I was like, I was like, this is awesome. I don't care about what your politics are. Watching people do backflips over the White House or around the White House. That's pretty badass.
Mo the Show
Unreal.
Rod Ryan
And I don't know if that was ever carried on television live, but the social media, Travis Pastrana, maybe nobody's better than it. And then he's got all the product placement and the coffee company and everything else. I seen a lot of it on social media, socials. And I think that's probably all it was meant to do. Probably so was beyond socials. And that looked cool.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
It looked cool.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Just wild. All right, you know what we're doing. Call now to win the best game in Houston. Who wants it? Okay, not only do I need you get in the queue right now for the Texas Hammer game, but Wednesday, I'm going to be looking for you to post your pictures with a hammer.

Alex
Ever heard of it?
Rod Ryan
I have.
Alex
Yeah, that's, that's training people talking about that going down all weekend long. USA might win it all. We look pretty dominant against Paraguay.
Rod Ryan
It was a great day. Sure was.
Alex
And yeah, so it's probably gonna Germany based on that. We scored the most goals.
Rod Ryan
We play Australia next.
Alex
Yeah, we're gonna smoke them, too. And then Turkey's next. All right, we're taking them all down.
Rod Ryan
And we're smoking turkeys.
Alex
Taking them all down.
Rod Ryan
Cool.
Alex
Elon Musk is trending. He became a trillionaire over the weekend. So I just, literally just talking about
Rod Ryan
that, I shared this with you guys. So you know, on paper, 1.18 trillion USD dollars is what the man is worth. The 18 of that is 180 billion dollars. The after the decimal point on what he's worth is 180 billion.
Alex
Yeah. That's pretty insane.
Mo the Show
Imagine.
Alex
Jeez. Pretty. Pretty insane. And then Stanley Cups trending. The Carolina Hurricanes are your 20, 26 Stanley cup champions. Beat the Vegas Knights last night, shut them out and then they had the rookie goal Foley come in, dominated Brandon Bussey, the oldest Con Smythe MVP winner. 37 year old Jordan Stahl scored in every game. 37 year old MVP in the Stanley cup final. And then we have a 38 year old NFL MVP and Matthew Stafford. So 37, 38 greatest ages to be. Right.
Rod Ryan
That's your prime, your age, right?
Alex
I guess it is, yeah. So I'm gonna prime. I'm in the prime of my life right now. My athletic prime. Technically I could be in, but that's what's training at nine for five. The Buzz.

Advertising Announcer
Mo.
Rod Ryan
A hammer.
Mo the Show
A hammer.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo the Show
It's a tool, right?
Rod Ryan
A hammer.
Mo the Show
Yeah, it's a toolbox.
Rod Ryan
I need a picture. I need a selfie. I'm gonna need a selfie of you.
Mo the Show
Okay.
Rod Ryan
Holding a hammer and just you wanting a selfie.
Mo the Show
Here I am.
Rod Ryan
Hang on to it. On Wednesday, we're gonna post this up on Facebook. We'll post a picture of all of us with our hammers underneath that. I'm gonna need a picture of you and a hammer. Everybody that listens to this show, I need a picture of you and a hammer. In honor of our friends Mr. Jim and Bill Adler, who will give us X amount of dollars per hammer picture. And again, they have offered up a $5,000 check to us.
Mo the Show

Hey, did you make it into the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store yet? Please go check out our brand new summer merchandise. Now, we do have scattered thunderstorms. Slow down, Rod. Scattered thunderstorms expected both today and tonight, which could lead to some flooding. And I guess the big story is fan fest canceled for today. Not happening. Happening. So don't head down to Fan Fest. They're not doing it.
Advertising Announcer
Sorry.
Rod Ryan
To our friends that are visiting us here in town. Told Alex, I want some shopping. Music shopping. Yeah.
Mo the Show
And this is what you got?
Rod Ryan
Sure. I like it. Shopping addicts, listen to me. If you get that rush of dopamine when you're out there in your online shopping. Shopping. Apparently, online shopping is huge everywhere, but it's massive in South Korea. A lot of young people are dangerously addicted to online shopping right now. So now they have created a fake app. Get this. You browse items as usual. You look through the reviews. You compare prices. You add the stuff to your cart. Then you enter your shipping Address and then you arrange for the payment. The app even shows you tracking information on the shipment if you want it. The catch? Nothing is being delivered to your home. It's just to give you the rush of shopping. Now, where do you get the hit of dopamine?
Mo the Show
Right?
Rod Ryan
Is it the shopping or is it when it arrives?
Mo the Show
Is it not when you open up the box and see something new?
Rod Ryan
They might be onto something. Because I think people do like the. The chase.
Mo the Show
Well, you know, I love the thrill of chase.
Rod Ryan
You like the chase?
Alex
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rod Ryan
Can. Will you do something for me live on the radio right now?
Alex
Sure.
Rod Ryan
Would you go to Amazon.com, your account.
Mo the Show
Oh, geez.
Rod Ryan
Would you go to your Amazon.com account,
Mo the Show
a fun game to play, and tell me how many things are in my cart.
Rod Ryan
Alex, how many items in Mo's cart right now? Oh, man, we've done this game before on the air. How many items in her cart?
Alex
Heart.
Rod Ryan
I'm going to give. Okay, I'll. I'll make it easy on you. 200 is the over under? 200 is the over under? Think over.
Alex
I think over.
Rod Ryan
I feel like she had 300 the
Alex
last time, didn't she?
Rod Ryan
Are you going over?
Alex
I'm going to say over.
Rod Ryan
Let me check. Kelshi, if they're running this.
Advertising Announcer
Shut up.
Alex
Should be.
Rod Ryan
I can bet on anything. They should be trading on Mo's cart on Amazon. Mo. Yeah, he said over 200 items in your cart on Amazon.com right now. How many items in your cart?
Mo the Show
Eight.
Rod Ryan
What?
Alex
You must have just bought a bunch of stuff.
Rod Ryan
Oh, you must have just cleaned your bank account.
Mo the Show
Okay, well, what's happening is prime day sales start next week, so I had to, like, readjust my cart. I'm sorry.
Rod Ryan
I got you. So back to this.
Alex
Damn it.
Mo the Show
There's a million things saved for later, but currently only eight in my cart.
Rod Ryan
You've had 200 items in your cart, so.
Mo the Show
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rod Ryan
In your cart.
Mo the Show
Yes. But now you can make them save for later.
Rod Ryan
So this, this is for the shopping addict. Nothing is being delivered to your house. You didn't actually order anything or pay for it. The whole experience was to give you the shopping dopamine hit to like, you know, scratch that itch. For now, South Korea is the only place crazy enough to do some sort of app like this for addicted online shop offers, but something that it's going to start taking off in other places. How does this app make money? I don't know. It would be crazy if you. It would be crazy if you had to pay for this app.
Mo the Show
Right. That'd be so dumb.
Rod Ryan
And you had to pay for this dopamine hit.
Alex
That actually be a really great idea.
Mo the Show
Well, drug addicts pay for drugs.
Rod Ryan
So I, I don't know. I find the shopping experience itself that could be somewhat annoying.
Mo the Show
Really.
Rod Ryan
My hit comes from it showing up.
Mo the Show
Showing up at your house. I'm curious where mine is on the door.
Rod Ryan
I don't know that where the dopamine. I think the dopamine hits for me when it arrives.
Mo the Show
What about like getting something that's like limited edition? You kind of like that. Well, like you buy the Oreos and stuff.
Rod Ryan
Well, that's a, that's an on air bit. I wouldn't do that in my regular life.
Advertising Announcer
Really?
Rod Ryan
No. I wouldn't go chasing after like limited edition and like, hey, let's go bills, let's go try this thing.
Mo the Show
Jersey.
Alex
No, USA Jersey.
Mo the Show
That's true.
Alex
A lot of Canada.
Mo the Show
Jersey.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. I don't know. No, I don't. I, I don't know that I have the thrill of shopping. Yeah, I, I don't know. I mean I do shop. I shop a lot. I do a lot of online shopping. I think like most people, I think I'm average, maybe a little above. I don't know. I don't know what normal people do neither. But at Apple like this, how, how much do you love shopping that you would go through the process and then not have the payoff of it coming to your house? Yeah, that seems like that's an annoyance.
Mo the Show
Yeah, that wouldn't do it for me.
Rod Ryan
So right now in South Korea, is it going to take off? We'll see. You're not just awake. You're Rod Ryan show awake now. Go do some damage out there. 94. 5 the buzz. What's up everybody?

The fact that I'm even getting questions about Wednesday is making me very, very happy. That means the message is getting across to you. Wednesday is going to be Texas Hammer day here on the Rod Ryan show. And we've done this for the last couple of years, but I want it to be bigger and better than ever. I can't wait to see you guys. It's number one. It's, it's a chance for you to take a selfie and put it up on our Facebook page. That selfie, there's an ask. Yeah. To be if they have a hammer. If they have a hammer in your selfie people are asking, you know, what kind of hammer? Alex one year took a picture of an MC Hammer cassette. It was him and a cassette. And it was like, okay, that counts. That's a hammer. That's Alex. And a hammer. That counts. But the question that I got was, Rod, what about all of us at the office if we take a group picture with a hammer, do you count the people in the picture? And I said no. Know what I will count though is if one person brings a hammer into the office and you all load up an individual picture with each one of you with that hammer.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And you put that on our Facebook page. That's where we, we would get credit for everybody with that hammer. Okay, so this is on Wednesday, but you're, you guys are making plans to help us out to get that $5,000 from Mr. Jim and Bill Adler on Wednesday. So thank you.

It's a slice of the 250,000 that we are giving away. I heart that is. All right. Scattered thunderstorms expected later on. Our best chance of rain is coming to 3 o'.
Alex
Clock.
Rod Ryan
3 o' clock seems to be when it's going to hit right now. Highs today of around 84. Good morning, Mo. What you got for Houston's headlines?
Mo the Show
Hey, good morning. So the United States and Iran reached some sort of agreement yesterday to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Oil or Moose. The agreement capped 108 days of conflict and President Trump announced a deal on True Social. He did that while hosting the UFC Freedom250 fights on the White House lawn as part of his 80th birthday celebration. And it was confirmed by Iran's deputy foreign minister. A formal signing ceremony is planned for Friday in Switzerland. All eyes are on weather as activity in the Gulf brings moisture to Greater Houston today. Right. You said around 3 o' clock is what it's looking like.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo the Show
Rainfall amounts between 2 and 8 inches possible through midweek because today's not the only day I see a flood watch for most of us. Flood warning for some areas and that's through Wednesday morning. Expected to be widespread, slow moving rain, moderate to heavy at times. The Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 94 to 90 Saturday night to win the NBA championship. The game happened in San Antonio but that didn't dampen the mood in New York City.
Rod Ryan
They still wanted to burn it down.
Mo the Show
What's up with that?
Rod Ryan
That's how people celebrate.
Advertising Announcer
Was there.
Rod Ryan
I know he's gonna be Pro Nix winning and that's fine. In Carolina. Is there anything at all after Carolina won hockey, the Stanley Cup? Did they riot in the streets or burn anything or.
Alex
They're not as die hard hard Carolina Hurricane fans as.
Rod Ryan
But was there any trouble at all that you saw? I didn't see anything either. Like nothing. If the Sabres had won the Stanley cup, there'd be buses burned. I can't explain it but New York really went all out for their celebrating and tearing the city down.
Alex
And it's okay because they beat San Antonio to do it.
Rod Ryan
So it's not okay.
Alex
Not that part's not okay. The violence isn't okay.
Mo the Show
Ten cops got Her.
Rod Ryan
Actually, most of what happened after Nick's wins was inexcusable. Most of it was inexcusable.
Alex
There's a lot of really cool stuff that happened, too.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
And it's always like, there's the bad ones that.
Mo the Show
Yeah, ruin it everybody for everybody else.
Rod Ryan
And that's what's going to get the headlines in.
Alex
The streets was electric.
Rod Ryan
You know, Sean Salisbury used to work here, and I love Sean, and I still follow his socials and stuff. And he just said it. He goes, listen, guys, it's sports. It's only a game. You know, you're tipping over cars. It's a game. You know, whether you're super excited or super upset, it's sports. It's a game. And that's a guy that played on the pro level for a long time, you know.
Mo the Show
Fighting on the White house lawn. Yesterday, UFC Freedom250 fight card unfolded on the south lawn.
Rod Ryan
This made people so upset.
Mo the Show
About 5,000 people attended. Tens of thousands watched on the large screens nearby. Fighters made these dramatic entrances walking out of the White House onto the octagon. Walked out escorted. I saw first responders, veterans, Medal of Honor recipients walking out with these fighters. And then the Marine Corps band. Doing live covers of each fighter's walkout song was also a very hot topic online. The lady that was doing the singing was really good.
Rod Ryan
You know, as. As we're. Listen, look what we do. We're on the radio.
Mo the Show
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
But we plan events. And as a event planner, when I look at that thing and I saw how they did it with the staging and how it looked. It looked unbelievable. It really did. Now, I understand there's a bunch of people here that just think, okay, why are we doing this? I don't know. It looked cool. It looked awesome.
Alex
Because we can.
Rod Ryan
The setup of it was amazing. The quality, that stage and everything. Yeah, it was really planned out. I didn't mind the long walkouts. I couldn't believe those guys were coming out of the White House. When they were fighting, they were coming out of the White House. Like, that means they were getting ready and warming up and everything in the White House.
Mo the Show
And the veteran, the first respond, the part was all really cool.
Alex
We should keep the octagon there and settle all future global disputes. We'll see you at the octagon. Dude. Come on down.
Mo the Show
They kept talking about their grass sponsor that's going to fix the grass after they take it away. It was kind of funny.
Rod Ryan
It's fine. Yeah, you're going to get that stage out of there and that place is going to look like it never happened.
Mo the Show
Kill it. Sad news. We did learn yesterday morning that musician Oliver Tree tragically passed away in a two helicopter collision in Brazil. Six people died on two choppers. One of the helicopters ended up landing in a parking lot of a car dealership which then ignited at least 20 cars. Obviously, a police investigation is underway to cause to determine the cause of the collision. But Oliver Tree was only 32 and he had recently kicked off a world tour promoting his new out there in Brazil. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
He was such a unique artist.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And his music had its own sound. But visually nobody came close to what this guy did.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And how he was like his presence on social media and him staying in character. It was almost. If you know the old reference, it was Andy Kaufman, like where he. He never gave up that everything was a joke.
Alex
He was in on the joke. It didn't matter if you were on the joke or if you cared that you weren't in on the joke. He was gonna do the joke.
Rod Ryan
He committed.
Alex
You wanted him to or not.
Rod Ryan
He committed and never broke character. You got a chance to interview him. I've got that interview up on our blog page as a little tribute to him. And then I got a chance to talk to him. You couldn't get him to break character. He's like, no, this is is me. Like, dude, are you wearing a wig? He's like, what are you talking about?
Alex
He's got to kind of lean into it or he's going to just make. Make you look goofy.
Rod Ryan
Listen, it all took us by shock.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
We found some stuff around here if somebody is interested in it. Maybe you're a big Oliver Tree fan. It's not like, hey, this stuff's going to be worth a lot of money. But what we found here is I've got a copy of Oliver Trees Ugly is Beautiful album. It's on a limited edition yellow viol vinyl. And then total Oliver Tree. I got his Cowboy Tears album on a limited edition cassette.
Alex
Wow.
Rod Ryan
Yes. I'll take caller number if it's something that you think you'd want. I'll take caller number 10 and 11 right now. And I'll give you this Oliver Tree stuff that we had. That's cool. And I just thought, you know what? Okay. When's gonna be a time to give this stuff away? Caller 10 and caller 11, I'll hook you up with this stuff if it's something that you're interested in. Terrible story today. Man. You was cool. He was really?
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
On top of being like a weirdo. He was nice. Yeah, he was nice though.
Alex
And gave him the time. Yeah. Yeah, he didn't have to.
Rod Ryan
So interesting. An interesting guy. Really sad. What you got in sports, the Astros
Alex
fell to the Royals yesterday four to nothing. They did take two of three from Kansas City over the weekend though. Tonight they're going to open up a series with the Tigers. Kai Way Tang will be on the mound for this show, is going up against Troy Melton for Detroit. First pitches at 7:10. You can listen to the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. In hockey, the Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley cup champions. They shut out the Golden Knights three to nothing in game six of the Stanley Cup Final to win the series four games to two. It's the Hurricane's first title since 2006. And then in soccer at the World cup yesterday, Germany blew out Curacao 71, Netherlands and Japan played to a 22 draw. Ivory coast got by Ecuador 1 nil and Sweden beat Tunisia 5 to 1. That is what's going on in sports,

Yeah, I was like, every goddamn time that commercial airs, which is Dave and Buster's. Great. They're spending a lot of money. It's not their fault. They. They didn't write that spot. Somebody in. Somebody that works for our company at least did. Every time that commercial aired over the weekend, that was good for, like, ding, ding, ding. At least three or four emails.
Mo the Show
You got to inflex at least.
Rod Ryan
And again, when somebody calls me by the wrong name, if somebody calls me wrong Rob, like, people think that's really funny, and, you know, they get a kick out of that, and that's fine. Every time that commercial aired over the weekend, that was three or four emails that came in. I got 67 emails. Yeah. I mean, did you rename the show Rod and Ryan? Are you out today, though? That's.

Advertising Announcer
It's.
Rod Ryan
The address is 19892 Southwest Freeway, which I'm looking at the map, and I believe it's close to 59 and 99, the Grand Parkway by the HEB. Around that area. All right, so you're taking off right after the show? Actually, I want to take off right now. Look at the rain and everything. I gotta drive careful, bro. I am looking at links and guests right now. Wizard Radio. Wizard had six picks. He was filled in for Chile and. Yeah, I didn't know that Blue October did kind of like, you know, we were talking about. We gave away that trip to Cabo.
Mo the Show
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And they've got a resort in Cabo for a long weekend. They did that same
Advertising Announcer
Portugal.
Rod Ryan
I didn't know this.
Mo the Show
Portugal.
Rod Ryan
I did not know this. Like, I know these guys. And I didn't know this was happening. So wizard planned his vacation around Blue October's Portugal appearance. And him and his buddy Mike were over 67,000 steps, 35 miles hiking and exploring, countless beers, bars, three cars, concerts. And the pictures are awesome.
Mo the Show
Yeah, they are really pretty.
Rod Ryan
They are super awesome. Yeah, he's got me sold on Portugal. And at some point, he was up on stage with Blue October with a guitar in his hand. Now I think he does kind of noodle around on the guitar.
Alex
Okay.
Rod Ryan
So I don't think he was a part of this. The show, but maybe there was like a sound check situation that the wizard went up there and maybe was noodling with the guys in Blue October. I don't know if this was in the. Well, let me see here.
Mo the Show
They're down at guitarist again getting the
Rod Ryan
jam with Blue October down. A guitarist again playing as a four piece. He said, the show is over unless you know someone who could play guitar. So he set his drink down, he went up there and saved the day. There you go. He's a hero.
Mo the Show
He's a hero. That's our Wizard.
Rod Ryan
So there he is. He got a very romantic picture with him and Justin on the. The beach.
Mo the Show
That's cute.
Rod Ryan
There's a beautiful sunset.
Mo the Show
The backdrop really is beautiful.
Rod Ryan
If they would have been kissing, it would have been Just a little better. But yeah, very romantic picture with just wizard and Justin. And then he found an old picture because he's got great pictures of of Portugal. But then he. He's got a great picture of him and Oliver Tree that he kind of gave you as a little extra picture.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Sad news. We all found out about Oliver Tree yesterday. So wizard dug up a pick of when he came to the Buzz and played some songs, songs for us like in our studio. So RIP Oliver Tree. So great pictures from the radio Wizard. He's got his six picks up. A lot of you are checking those out right now on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog page@thebuzz.com thank you, Whiz Rod Ryan, the Cure for Weak Coffee and morning scaries.
Alex
94.
Rod Ryan
5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan Show. So that's a band that we. We have been talking a lot about and I'm glad they're getting the airplay. It's a rock band in every sense of the word. Sure. Slash's kid is playing drums. The name of the band is Return to Dust. I don't know how this slipped past me, but you already gave away tickets mo this morning. 7 Dust and Theory of a Dead Man. Return to Dust is opening that show. The guys you just heard, they're opening. So now that becomes like, oh, and just. It's not like a three throwaway. That's a three band bill for us at least, man. Seven Dust, Theory of a Dead man and Return to Dust. We're going to have tickets all week for you. Homeroom got in on them. But I just thought it was pretty interesting that it just completely slipped. And sometimes, I mean, I'm the first one just. I'm editing myself for time always on this show. And sometimes people get upset like, well, why didn't you mention that band that's opening up? I'd love to them. I'm like, because you're the only one. I don't know. Like, you know, sometimes some of these shows have four and five bands and people do get upset when they like one of those young baby bands and everybody was a baby band at some time. So you're right. You have a point that everybody needs to be mentioned. I would say that all the time when we were doing Buzzfest and it's like, somebody's got to be on that side stage at 2 o', clock, you know, and that might be the band that three years from now is going to be headlining.
Mo the Show
Right.
Rod Ryan
So Return to Dust on that show that's awesome. Tickets all week. We do have Black Label Society tickets coming up for you now. I got to mention, all the bands. Damn it, Zach. Sabbath and Dark Chapel. Dark Chapel are going to be September 2nd by Music Center. That's not until mo the show though. So we still got a lot of ground to cover on the show. Man. Thank you so much for hanging with us. On this Monday, the Buzz rock and alternative for Houston.
Mo the Show
The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am 94.
Rod Ryan
5 the Buzz Good Morning Rod Ryan show. Real quick. You all know that's Godsmack and Godsmack just came through here. And even Sully's calling it Godsmack 2.0. Longtime drummer Shannon Larkin, who was a phenomenal drummer. You got to be a great drummer to be in Godsmack because Sully is a drummer drummer. And the guitarist Tony, they officially left the band. Sully said it was great. The guys just didn't want to tour anymore. So they went and got two replacement guys. And everyone told me that went to the Godsmack show. It was amazing. And their new drummer, because they do that double drum solo and it's so important to be the drummer of Godsmack. You got to be great. Wade Murph was this amazing guy. For whatever reason, he's been replaced by Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini, who is really, really well known in the drumming community. And he did his first show over the weekend, but we don't know what happened and why it was such an abrupt change. So. And of course, you know this guy Drone for Dream Theater, for God's sakes. Those guys are all schooled musicians. So Mike Mangini apparently played this weekend and got his chops ready to go and he's been officially named the new drummer. Drummer of Godsmack in the middle of a tour where they do a double drum solo in the whole. I mean, geez, I don't know how they're gonna get this guy up to speed, but they're doing it. They're doing it. But that's not the drummer that you guys saw the other replacement drummer when they were here. Scattered thunderstorms. Okay, more and more of you are getting rained on today and getting rained on right now. Mo, what you got in Houston's headlines?

United States and Iran and reached some sort of agreement yesterday to end the conflict and open the Strait of Hormuz. It's been 108 days of conflict and President Trump announced this deal on True Social while hosting the UFC250 fights on the White House lawn while celebrating his 80th birthday celebration. Iran's deputy foreign minister confirmed the said agreement and a formal signing ceremony is planned for Friday in Switzerland. We are keeping our eyes on the weather. The rain this morning, but also the eighth aliens. Naturally, I am not.
Rod Ryan

Obviously.
Advertising Announcer
Okay.
Rod Ryan

Mo the Show
Yes.
Rod Ryan

Okay, but what are the UFO people gonna get today? Are they gonna get any answers?
Mo the Show
Well, on Friday.
Rod Ryan
Okay, go ahead.
Mo the Show
They got the Pentagon released their third batch of declassified UFO files.
Alex
Okay.
Mo the Show
And 72 documents in total. There's some witnesses, accounts, videos, Little green men. Investigative reporting that started back in the 40s. The files produced vivid but unexplained descriptions. And that's really about it.
Rod Ryan
Nothing Burger. Another nothing Burger.
Mo the Show
Yeah, I don't know if they got anything.
Rod Ryan
You show me pictures of little green men, I'll get excited. But other than that, I'm not excited.
Mo the Show
What do you want?
Rod Ryan
I want answers. Okay. I want Bigfoot. I want a picture of Bigfoot.
Alex
Bigfoot would not be in my prison.
Rod Ryan
I want little green men.
Mo the Show
But catch him.
Rod Ryan
Okay. And then stop at the flat earth. Unless you show me a picture of our earth being flat. Like it's the same stuff. It's the same crazy people.
Mo the Show
Speaking of crazy people.
Alex
Yeah.
Mo the Show
Gen Xers.
Rod Ryan
Well, wait a minute now. Not crazy. Maybe the most sensible people out there,
Mo the Show
Gen X's, are in their 50s. Yeah. And 33% of them are still dependent on their parents. How many 33%?
Rod Ryan
One out of three Gen Xers are related. Reliant on their parents Financially? Yes.
Mo the Show
Just a couple of weeks ago.
Rod Ryan
Is this like being on their cell phone plan?
Mo the Show
Yes, I think just a couple of weeks ago we were kind of talking about how more than half of millennials were still dependent on their parents in some form.
Rod Ryan
In some. Okay, so it's not total financial dependency.
Mo the Show
That study we talked about a couple weeks ago. Upon further digging, we're seeing these Gen X numbers. That's why the survey is back in the headlines. 72% of Gen Z years. So 29 years of age and younger are still financially dependent on their parents. Yeah, that didn't really surprise me.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, my sister and I, our money's going the other way. Okay, we're not.
Mo the Show
Our money's going because you're paying for your mom.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. What the hell's still on the teat as a Gen Xer?
Mo the Show
33.
Rod Ryan
One in three, I guess.
Alex
Yeah.
Mo the Show
Most boomers hold more than half of Americans wealth and that's where they are distributing it to their spawn, the great wealth transfer.
Alex
Right.
Mo the Show
But things are happening now that's slowing this down because older folks are living longer. Right. We got the news alert over the weekend that James Harden had been arrested. We saw that he was here home in Houston and appears he was downtown charged with a misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a weapon after a handgun was observed on the seat of his car. The gun wasn't holstered, it was in plain view. He was booked around 4:57am later released after paying $100 bond. His arraignment is scheduled for June 22.
Rod Ryan
$100 bond?
Mo the Show
I know it seems silly, right?
Rod Ryan
Silly.
Mo the Show
He probably left, but he had to go to jail.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
So he's inconvenienced. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Okay. Well, at 4:57am you should conveniently holster that weapon.
Mo the Show

Rod Ryan
I don't know anything about Portugal and I'm looking at this picture pictures and I'm like, I didn't know that Was the landscape.
Mo the Show
Let's go.
Rod Ryan
I didn't know it looked like that at all. Beautiful pictures. It really does look like a beautiful place. So there's some good pictures of Blue October in there as well. So that's on the world famous Rod Ryan show page@thebuzz.com what can you say about rain? Rain does seem to rain it like it rain rains and it doesn't always tell us like where it's going to fall or when it's going to come. But a lot of you are getting rained on. We told you that there was good chances of rain all throughout the day. It could be a little heavier this afternoon and then that's going to cause possibly some flooding. Everybody's guessing here. Everyone's guessing. The one thing that they got ahead of was the fan fest. They got ahead of the whole fan fest thing, which there's. There's people from all over the world here. The Germany game was yesterday. Yeah, Germany and Curacao. Thank you.
Mo the Show
Better you sing it than me. Curious out.
Rod Ryan
So we got people from all over the place and we can't go to fan fest today. They think the rain's going to be that bad.
Mo the Show
So according to the traffic, it is that bad.
Rod Ryan
But what a weekend for sports.
Alex
I know.
Rod Ryan
What a weekend for sports. I got some of the calls if I. I like playing the calls. Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley cup last night against the Vegas Golden Knights. It was Game 6. I was watching UFC. UFC. And we were going watching a little bit of the hockey. But I really, I was visually, I wanted to see what was going on with that UFC fight. Yeah, I was hoping for a game seven. I really was. I mean, in all of sports, I always want. If it's not my team, if it's my team, I don't want a game seven. It's too stressful. But I was hoping for a game seven last night. So the game was where Carolina Hurricanes.
Alex
It was in Vegas.
Rod Ryan
In Vegas. So Carolina Hurricanes win the state Stanley Cup. Here's what it sounded like. And they're going to clinch it appropriately. With a total team effort and a shout out. The Carolina Hurricanes have won the Stanley cup for the second time. Not a bad call. But you knew they were going to win at that point. I mean, they were.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
So far ahead. It was. Wasn't like Jack Hughes's golden goal.
Mo the Show
America usa.
Rod Ryan
But it wasn't tied up and then somebody scored in overtime or what like that. So you can't blame. It was a good call. It was a good call.
Alex
Yeah.
Mo the Show
And they were really good all season. Like you kind of knew they were going to.
Alex
They won a Stanley Cup.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, I mean like they know. I mean like no, they dominated during the playoffs.
Alex
Got it done. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
All right. New York Knicks win the WNBA champion mnba the NBA.
Alex
All right.
Rod Ryan
New York Knicks come from behind again Saturday night against San Antonio in San Antonio. And Ben Stiller and Timothy Chalamet, they all traveled. They traveled.
Alex
They went scatter. Was there. It was John Turturro. Okay, yeah, pretty sick.
Rod Ryan
Let's take a listen to that call, cuz. This one was close. This one was. This one was a lot closer. 5 seconds remaining. Fox to Wendy Wemby. Tries the 3, puts it up off the mark. Anunoby to rebound.
Mo the Show
It's over.
Rod Ryan
It's over, Nick. Fans, this is not a dream. Your long, long wait has ended. Go ahead and cry. After 53 years, the Knicks are finally NBA champions once again. Not a bad call.
Alex
Is that the radio call? Mike Breen is a die hard Knicks fan. Grew up in Knicks fan. So that was him trying to be impartial doing that.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, it's hard to be impartial when that's your team. And then I guess you know, talking about World Cup, USA beat Paraguay 4 nothing on Friday, 4 1, 4 1. Oh, it's 44 to 1.
Alex
We let him get one just to be nice.
Rod Ryan
That's the most goals that we've ever scored in a World cup match. Here's the first goal. This one's pretty good actually. Weston McKenna into the middle. It's an own goal. It's the United States on the board. Less than seven minutes in. That's pretty awesome.
Alex
That's pretty great.
Rod Ryan
That's pretty great. USA Australia Friday, Friday afternoon.
Alex
All right.
Rod Ryan
I like playing those the calls, man.
Mo the Show
It's exciting weekend.

Rod Ryan
I'm a huge Hoda Copy fan. Did I mention On Wednesday, we're gonna be looking for Hammer pictures.
Mo the Show
You might have said something about it.
Rod Ryan
Okay, and the reason? It's not until Wednesday morning. But our friends over at the Texas Hammer, okay, Mr. Jim and Bill Adler. They're in for $5,000. They're in for five grand. They will donate $5,000 on Wednesday if I can get enough of you. And I'll give you the numbers and everything as we get closer. The only reason I'm trying to tell you this now is to get your hammer pictures right.
Mo the Show
Ready?
Rod Ryan
You got homework to do. You got rain coming down. You got all this stuff. It's summer. Everyone's distracted. I'm giving you days out. On Wednesday on our Facebook page, I'm gonna need you a selfie with a hammer. That for that low effort. And I mean, I appreciate everything that you guys do for us, but it is pretty low effort just to take a selfie with a hammer. Everyone's got a hammer laying around. I'm gonna ask you to upload that picture to our Facebook page. I'll tell you exactly where and when. On Wednesday morning, we add all those up. We get enough of you for just taking a picture. Mr. Adler is going to write a $5,000 check. Okay, so you've got today, tomorrow, and then Wednesday morning, it's prepare your hammer. Yeah, just like, you know, start looking. Maybe some of you haven't used a hammer in a while. I mean, look at these hands. I'm always hammering something.
Mo the Show

Rod Ryan
I'm a handy.
Mo the Show
Look at me. You got one. You prepared?
Rod Ryan

Mo the Show

Rod Ryan
5 the Muzz. All right. What you got today?
Alex
I saw this and thought this one was appropriate. Elon Musk became a trillionaire. He's the first trillionaire ever. And this AOL today is going to be you spending Elon Musk's money.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
You can buy a bunch of dumb stuff.
Rod Ryan
You can't spend that money. You can't.
Alex
Well, so, yeah, it's impossible. Possible. I've only got to 2% of his total money. I don't know.
Mo the Show
I'd give him a run for his money.
Alex
I bought 20 Xboxes, 15 MacBook Pros, all got iPhones.
Mo the Show
Come on, think bigger.
Alex
I started 41 startup companies. I bought five fast food chains. I bought you the bills. About me, the giants. And I got you the cold smoke. I got us all PJs.
Rod Ryan

Alex
I bought yachts for us all.
Rod Ryan
I bought boats for us all. Sailboats.
Alex
I bought the PJ's Formula One team. Let's do that. Let's see if we. We're still at 2.21% of his of his earnings. Okay. So it'd be difficult to spin all this. I mean this is a fun little exercise to go find out.
Rod Ryan
You did buy some fun stuff.
Alex
Can I buy. I could buy all 32 NFL teams. I think.
Rod Ryan
I don't think I'm showing up to work tomorrow. If I'm the owner of the Bills now and rigged it.
Alex
That'd be sick.
Rod Ryan
Dude. You could buy the whole NFL.
Alex
Yeah. It just make the Cowboys bad forever.
Mo the Show
Is that funny? That's the first thing Alex bought was the NFL.
Alex
What I would do but go check it out. Spadey add most money today at the world famous Rodri show page@the buzz.com that's fun.

You're in the pool and then. Jesus Christ, there's the bass player of Blue October. He's coming in the pool with me. What the heck? Then now you're fighting for crab legs, you know, at the, at the buffet, you know, with, with, with a roadie.
Mo the Show
That's a cool experience.
Rod Ryan
So amazing pictures. If you hadn't had a chance to check them out yet, please. On the world famous Rod Ryan show page@thebuzz.com I don't. I didn't have to worry about any of you today, which is good national take your cat to work day to my knowledge, none of you have a cat.
Mo the Show
No, sir.
Rod Ryan
Right. Okay, so I, I didn't need to be proactive because I was thinking of sending out a text. Hey, by the way, I know you guys all know that it's national take your cat to work day. Please know catch cats in the studio. I'm allergic. Okay. I don't have my eyes be all swelled up. I, yeah, I'd have a runny nose, the whole thing. My daughter absolutely does not believe me if she thinks there's one lie I'm telling her in this life, which there's a hundred of them, but the one that, the one that I am not lying and she will not believe me is I told her that I'm allergic to cats. And she's gone as far as asking my mom, and my mom, mom says totally doesn't have my back. She goes, to my knowledge, no, he's not allergic to cats. I'm like, what's the matter with you? Like, mom, get, get on the same page, please.
Mo the Show
Are you really, though?
Rod Ryan
I really am. I did go for whatever that paperwork, you know, like, they push all that crap in your back.
Mo the Show
Yeah.
Alex
The spot.
Rod Ryan
They put all this stuff. They put like oak tree in your back and they stick all these things.
Mo the Show
You did it.
Alex
And I'll just swell.
Rod Ryan
I did it years ago. And then they look to see which ones puff up.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And the cat, I'm allergic to cats. Like, it's diagnosed.
Mo the Show
So surely there's paperwork somewhere that you can show your 9 year old.
Rod Ryan
She thinks I'm lying. She's like, well, grandma said no, the grandma wouldn't lie. Yes, she baby a cat. That woman lied to me her whole life. Okay. What you don't know about your grandmother? I could just about squeeze into the Grand Canyon. Okay. So yeah, she would lie, but she doesn't know anything about my allergy test. So yeah, no cats. But apparently if your place is cool,
Mo the Show
can you imagine anywhere being cool?
Rod Ryan
Bring your cat to work. Did your brother at one time work at a place where you could bring your dog in? Do I remember that correctly?
Alex
It wasn't like, it wasn't just running around the office.
Rod Ryan
How did that work?
Alex
Had like kennels. So you could have your dog out in the kennels and they were like, they're covered. Kennels?
Rod Ryan
What do you work at Google?
Alex
No, I don't know if he wants to say what he was.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo the Show
Oh, fair.
Rod Ryan
So that's cool.
Mo the Show
That's an awesome perk.
Rod Ryan
Could you bring your dog in every day?
Alex
I Think you could. Yeah, he didn't do it because he has a, like a pit bull mix. So he was kind of like, I don't want to. Yeah, do that. But if you like, there's people that don't have, like, they want their dogs to go to daycare, I guess, and they don't.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
They don't want to like be away from the dog that long. So you go walk the dog and stuff. But like, you could put it up when you go to work.
Rod Ryan
It's pretty badass. Pretty badass. Speaking of animals, there's a couple of things on three things you must see today. I don't know if you saw that guy that reeled in a great white shark. It's awesome. And apparently, apparently he's an expert at it. I don't know. But when I see a shark and I see a guy just like hanging out, trying to get the hook out of its mouth, I'm like, dude, like that thing could just turn and snap and start taking parts of your body. So apparently he's been around sharks a long, long time. That's a pretty interesting thing. It's on Three things you must see today. There is a zoo in Spain that has welcomed three newborn warthog piglets. Now, I don't know if this is
Mo the Show
going to be finally we can talk about this, but I don't know if
Rod Ryan
it's going to be like as big as that baby hippo was not that long ago.
Alex
Mudang.
Rod Ryan
Mudang.
Mo the Show
They're not as cute.
Rod Ryan
The piglets initially stayed indoors with their mom for a bunch of extra care, but now they start spending some time outdoors and now people are starting to see them. The zoo staff say that these young animals are, they're developing, developing well. They're expected to transition fully into the outdoor enclosure so more and more people can see them. But as far as warthogs go, they're pretty good looking. I don't know no hippo, that's for sure. They're not as big as the hippo, but yeah, that's what I did. That was my homework. That's what I brought into the show today. I brought in warthog piglets. So maybe not as good as radio wizards pictures, but that's what I brought in today. I found some warthog piglets tablets for
Mo the Show
you to check out.
Rod Ryan
Three things you must see.

Cuz we just kept saying Seven Dust and Theory of a Dead Man. We all know that they're going on tour together. We talked about when they put the thing together and we made the announcement. But Return to Dust is opening up that show. So now you're going to hear us go out of our way. When we're giving away tickets, we got to mention all these bands, make sure we're not missing anybody. Super important.
Alex
All right.
Rod Ryan
All right, I'm done predicting when the rain is coming or if it's already happening.
Mo the Show
It's already happening.
Rod Ryan
I think most of you are experiencing a little bit of rain out there. All right. Please be careful. All right. Behind the wheel. Know the show on 94. Five, the buzz. All right. Time for another show. Good morning. Rob Ryan show. Who's this? This is Derek. Well, hello, Derek. How are you? I'm doing excellent, Rod. Just got out of work early because the rain. Okay.
Mo the Show
So responsible.
Rod Ryan
What part of town are you in where that it's raining? We were out in Magnolia, but our office is over here by the Bush Intercontinental Airport. Okay. And.
Mo the Show
And it's.
Rod Ryan
Right. It's raining in both spots. And whatever it is that you do, you can't work in the rain. No, we're cell phone tower climbers. You don't want to be up there in the air when there's lightning. Derek, I don't want you climbing anything in the rain. Okay. I'm glad you're off. All right, Mo, take care of this guy.
Mo the Show
But, yes, someone needs to.
Rod Ryan
She's got a question for you. You got to answer this. Hopefully you were listening, Derek.
Mo the Show
New Korean app that I'm extra interested in supposedly helps folks with what? Addiction.
Rod Ryan
Shopaholics. Yeah. Wow.
Alex
Whoa.
Rod Ryan
Wait a minute. Let's go.
Mo the Show
Listening.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, it was in weird South Korea, remember? Yeah.
Alex
One of the curious.
Rod Ryan
It's an app that allows you to go through the whole shopping process putting
Mo the Show
things in your car, put the car, the whole thing.
Rod Ryan
You put in your address, you pay and everything, and then boom. It never arrives, nor is any payment taken out of your bank. It's just for the thrill of shopping. People just want that dopamine hit from doing the shopping. I don't the. The part of doing the shopping is
Mo the Show
the most like, stuff showing up at my house. That's new stuff.
Rod Ryan
That's the rush that I get. The most annoying part is doing the actual shopping online.
Mo the Show
Spending money is not fun.
Rod Ryan
But I don't think I'm the addict that Mo is. Derek, you're the winner, Derek.
Mo the Show

Mo the Show

Rod Ryan

This episode is a microcosm of The Rod Ryan Show experience—Houston-centric, but never parochial; silly but on top of real news; music-driven but audience-obsessed. It’s your one-stop check-in for everything the city, the culture, and the listeners are buzzing about, whether that’s the Stanley Cup, a rock concert, the next storm, or who can post the most creative selfie…with a hammer.
