[A]

Today Texas Hammer day. Can't wait to see all your pictures. Good morning, this is Ed McMahon. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's Rod Ryan. Okay. All right, let's do this. Wakey wakey. Hands off snakey. Get your hands on your hammer and snap a selfie. I want to sit you up on our Facebook page. We get 10 bucks per pick. I need 500 of you today to take a selfie with a hammer and put it on our Facebook page. More on that one time hall of famer James going for win number four. We only have one person that is locked into the game today. That means you can call in and take him on at 6:20. Black Label Society with Zach Sabbath. We got tickets for you on the fun Fact flashback at 35 after Buck Cherry. Blackstone Cherry tickets at 7:27. Dust theory for that man returned to dust tickets at 8. Five finger death punch tickets on Mow the Show Now. I guess rain's gonna be a huge story this morning. I'll let mo. She already looked outside. She said she was noticing that it was raining out there.

[C]

Good morning, Rod. I ran to the window.

[A]

It's always raining here.

[C]

You're right. Today an extra weather Wednesday, we're all under a flash flood watch. A new flash flood warning was issued this morning until 8am so that's our dicey time now till 8am Brazoria County. We're watching you. Danbury, Freeport, Surfside, west end of Galveston county, obviously coastal areas that that widespread area though continues to spread dry ish in Houston. I did say it is kind of raining a little bit here in the Galleria area, but heavy rain bands are moving in. Potential storm One AKA almost Arthur is a moving storm, which we love to hear. He's not going to be just like sitting around. 70 to 90% chance for rain this morning, which is when we'll see the worst of everything. Just be prepared, okay? The FBI disrupted a sophisticated plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House on Sunday. Five people have since been arrested in custody. 23 individuals have been identified as part of this alleged network. The plan allegedly called for explosive drones to strike buildings near the event, triggering a mass evacuation that would funnel the crowd towards pre positioned sniper teams. They also had a planned targeting of the White House. The FBI director, Cash Patel said agents became aware of the plot on June 10. Someone's mother called it in. Yeah, one of the guys.

[A]

You see something, say something.

[C]

Yeah. They praised the rapid action and then they went on. They have a White House World cup task force that is confirming that all 78 World cup matches here in the US have counter drone mitigation technology in place.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

And those that also includes all of our fan fest events in every host city. Interesting. Would you buy a $13,000 robot toilet so you wouldn't have to get out of bed to pee in the middle of the night?

[A]

You still got to get out of bed.

[C]

I mean, kind of, but you don't got to plop it over to the side.

[A]

So the hopper comes to you.

[C]

Smart technology at its finest. It navigates around those obstacles that you usually trip over in the middle of the night. You hop on, you do your business, it cleans you because it has a built in day before it heads back to the docking station. Nothing too, too weird. But it is designed for people older and people with mobility impairments. Okay, Eminem back in the news. Today he's doing Meta for $109 million. A federal judge just allowed Eminem's publisher, so 8 mile style to move forward with this lawsuit. It's a copyright lawsuit. It's against Meta platforms, claiming that over 243 songs, including some of Eminem's, were included in Facebook, Instag, and WhatsApp music libraries without proper licenses. We'll see where this goes from here. And also in music news, Daughtry just announced they're hitting the road for a fall acoustic tour. They're gonna do smaller, intimate theaters, venues across the US just celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band.

[A]

It's wild to think that Daughtry Celebrating 20 years.

[B]

20 years.

[C]

I don't see Houston. I do see a San Antonio and a Dallas show. General on sale is for Friday. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Oh, everything's up on the music blog page this morning. There he is. Alex, what you got?

[B]

Astros got a win last night. They beat the Tigers 4 to 2. They're going to wrap up their series with the Tigers this afternoon. Peter Lambert is going to be on the mound for the straws going up against Detroit's Casey. My first pitch is at 110. You can listen to it on our sister station sports talk 790. Yesterday at the World Cup, France beat Senegal 3 to 1. Norway took care of Iraq for one. Argentina shout out. Algeria, three nothing. Messi scored all three of Argentina's goals.

[A]

And a hat trick in soccer, too.

[B]

It's a hat trick in soccer.

[A]

People throw their hats. They did not.

[B]

There's not. There's, like, way more room to lose your hats in, like, a football stadium

[A]

than oh, yeah, it'll never reach the. It'll never reach.

[B]

Yeah, you'd probably just throw it down in the next bowl. Austria also beat Jordan. Then that ended early this morning because it started at 11pm then that is what's going on in sports.

[A]

All right, thank you. Somebody asked, does it count to upload a picture of them with a hammer? If it's a picture of them and

[B]

Alex, I do have a. I have two hammers on my wrist at all times.

[A]

Like, he's a hammer, he supports West Ham, and he's got a hammer tattoo. Oh, wow. Does a picture with Alex count as a picture with a hammer?

[B]

Can you. Is it visible?

[A]

I think your hammer. Your hammer tattoo would have to be visible in the picture for it to count.

[B]

I think that's fair. Or I would have to wear a West Ham jersey because they have hammers as their logo.

[A]

If a hammer is visible.

[B]

If you can see a hammer, whether it be on my wrist or not and it is with me, then yes, it counts.

[A]

Okay, I'll go with that. I'll go with that. We need hammer pictures. I need 50. I need. Well, I need 500 of them to get the $5,000. It's Texas Hammer Day. We'll explain everything coming up.

Send us a picture of you with a hammer. They're posting on Facebook right now. You're posting on Facebook right now. You'll see all of our hammers. We got to use the real Texas hammer, the one from the TV commercials. Should I tell people that it's not real? Like, it's.

[C]

I held it.

[A]

It's. It's movie grade quality, but it's not a real hammer.

[C]

Oh, it's not heavy.

[A]

It's a prop.

[B]

What up?

[C]

It's now time for the first phone

[A]

call of the day. Looks like Paul got through. Hey, Paul. Good morning,

[C]

Paul.

[A]

I need Paul in my life. Paul, are you not on the phone anymore? Do the phones not work? Might not be your fault. I don't even get mad anymore. Hey, Chili, would you check that line just to see if he's there? Good. It's good to know.

[B]

You know, thumbs up makes this feel important.

[A]

Hang on, Chili. Phones working. You hear him? Okay. I don't hear a little click when he goes over there. Let me try this. Hey, Paul, hang on there. If you can hear me, do that. Let me do that. It's always fun to do this live on the air.

[C]

It's got to be super way to

[A]

start the morning, but, I mean, it's got to be super entertaining. I can't imagine, you know, like, Rula. Stop it. I don't even know who these other morning shows are anymore. Hey, Paul, are you there now? No, man, that's awesome. Okay. Phones aren't working.

[B]

It's great. I'll do it. Operation. Yeah, operation we got going. I'm glad you got it.

[C]

Thanks for trying, Paul. We love you.

[A]

You deserve better, Paul. Yeah, you do. Chili, I'm gonna do a hard restart over here.

[B]

Seacrest. Phones work.

[A]

I. I just tried to X out of it and it didn't work, so I'm gonna do a hard restart.

[B]

Cool.

[A]

All right. Entertaining Radio already. Super great. Let me take a short break while we're restarting Our computers on the flip. Got a rec check for you. We'll find out what's trending and then. Yeah, take that hammer right to the computer.

[C]

To the computer.

[A]

And then hopefully we'll get the phone straightened out. We can play the fresh out of bed head to head today, Houston's rock.

[B]

Houston's alternative and home of the Rod Ryan Morning.

[C]

94. 5 the buzz.

[A]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning. Rod Ryan show. Wild card Wednesday. Sure. Texas Hammer day. Yeah, big time. You guys are doing a great job. I see a lot of your pictures up on our Facebook page. Thunderstorms will be sloppy this morning, too, man. We got rain throughout the day. Let's go see our guy. Alex. Alex, what's trending? Good morning.

[B]

Good morning. Messi is trending. He's the number one trend in the world right now. I don't know if you've heard of this guy. He's pretty good at soccer. I've heard of him a lot. Call him the Goat. He scored all three of Argentina's goals in their 3 nothing win over Algeria last night.

[A]

For what he does for a living, professional soccer player, he's pretty old.

[B]

He's like 40, 39 or 40.

[A]

One of those.

[B]

He's older than I am. So obviously, like I said earlier this week, like, peak athleticism is your late 30s now.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

One goal is rare. Three goals in one game from the same dude is ridiculous.

[B]

And a lot of people are saying that this could be tied to the fact that Jamis Winston was walking around outside the stadium with a goat that had a messy jersey on. So very likely, like, that was the good luck charm.

[A]

I feel like you're the only one that's linking those two.

[B]

No, a lot of people were actually being like, james did it. Jameis did it again. James Winston is a national treasure and we should. We should all appreciate him. Shrek is trending because the new trailer for Shrek 5, or they released a teaser trailer, not the full trailer, but people are talking about it kind of gave away. What, like, with the plot idea.

[A]

But did anybody get the. The callback to one of Eddie Murphy's old movies?

[B]

I see it. Yeah. I just see people talking about it this morning.

[A]

The donkey singing Roxanne. I'll leave it at that.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

People don't.

[B]

People don't seem to be against this at all. Like, I see this seems very positive from the, like, brief little reviews that I've seen.

[A]

Yeah. Because he got all the voices there and stuff.

[B]

They really get mad at Shrek, you

[A]

know, it's like Toy story.

[B]

It's like they gave you five of them. They're not. They might not all be winners, but you can't get mad.

[A]

They love the franchise.

[B]

Then the Rod Ryan show Facebook page is trending. It's also Texas Hammer match day.

[C]

It is a weather Wednesday, Rod. We're all under a flash flood watch. New flash flood warning is expanding Brazoria county and beyond. Heavy rain bands are moving through right now and potential storm one AKA almost a name storm. We know Arthur will be his name. He's moving which is good news. We want him to keep moving out of here. But right now is when it's the worst. The main hazard is flooding from intense rainfall. And we know flooding is not our friend. Turn around, don't drown. Be prepared. Woke up this morning to footage of the scene of a big business jet with six people on board that crashed on a highway in Laredo overnight. It caught fire and killed one person. It caused some chaos in the middle of the highway. People leaving their vehicles, frantically trying to smash the cockpit windows free those inside the Plane departed Los Cabos International airport in Mexico, 619 last night. It's not clear what caused the crash as it reached Laredo, but it did experience some sort of mechanical failure. The latest hotspot on the dating scene, Rod, are our World cup venues. What? The New York Post picked up this story, and it's since gone viral on social media. It started with one American lady, and she's like, hello, Our dating pool just expanded.

[A]

Oh, she's digging all the foreigners coming in for the soccer game.

[C]

World cup was, you know, supposedly bringing in 6.5 million travelers. So Americans looking for sexy, rich, eligible international soccer fans are like, yeah, we might not be able to afford to get into a game, but we can at least go party in the host cities. Welcome.

[A]

I mean, there's just, like. You see groupies at rock concerts, there's groupies at sporting events.

[C]

It's an expensive sport to follow.

[A]

I saw it at the. I saw it go down when the golf was here years ago.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I just seen all those girls just wanting to hook up up with one of those golfers.

[C]

Alex, what have you seen?

[B]

I have not seen.

[C]

Alex has been partying.

[A]

Go to those. Go to those neutral parties with Alex.

[C]

Yeah, that's what I'm hearing.

[B]

[B]

Yes. I'm partying with the Swedes and the. The Dutch.

[C]

I'm just saying.

[B]

Saturday. I'm just saying.

[C]

Might be there. Ron, have you ever heard of Tom Holland? He's an actor.

[A]

I think he's the new Spider man. And he's Zendaya's dude.

[C]

They're in the headlines a lot. He just did a new interview with Esquire. He already has a new favorite character to take over as Spider Man. One day. He named a guy named Owen Cooper. He called him awesome, super talented. Apparently, this Cooper kid has become one of Hollywood's most talked about young actors, following his role in adolescence. And Tom Holland says he hopes to pass on on the Spider man character like Robert Downey Jr. Did to him. It's cute.

[A]

Alex is a Toby Maguire guy.

[C]

I don't know. There's a lot of spiders.

[B]

Always have been, always will be.

[C]

No Tom Holland for you.

[A]

He's very loyal to Tobes.

[C]

All right, let's talk about Tom Morello. Did I say it right that time?

[A]

You did.

[C]

When it has two L's, it looks like I should roll my L's.

[A]

Oh, yeah. You called him Tom Arroyo before.

[C]

Morello he says music and activism are individual, visible. And so when he's asked to weigh in on whether musicians should be political or not, he's like, this is a no brainer.

[A]

Well, yeah, he's like the most political guy out there.

[B]

I would never imagine him.

[C]

Why would anyone ask him this question?

[A]

This is not a hot take from him.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, people are going to disagree with your politics, he said, but the second you write a song that agrees with their politics, all of a sudden they're for it. Yes, Tom, I agree that so much. Thanks so much. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Yeah. You could read tomorrow, Tom, his interview, everything on the music blog page today. We know what Tom's about.

[C]

Believe in what you believe in, Tom.

[A]

Go why he doesn't hide what you got over there.

[B]

The phones are not working. In trying to fix the Phones. We disabled all the microphones in here. That's why you didn't hear us talking for a little bit. If you don't laugh, you'll cry, but

[B]

I know y' all are there.

[A]

Hey, John's trying to call in. John, can you hear me? Raining outside. Turn your hatches off. Brake lights and turn. Spins don't work when your hatches are on. See, that's just John talking on the phone. He's calling, but he can't.

[C]

I don't know what he's gonna say next.

[A]

All right, thank you, John.

[C]

Thank you, John.

[A]

Operation.

[A]

So. Okay, well, listen, the microphones are working. That's a win.

[C]

That's good.

[B]

I. I mean, I don't want to be, like, talking bad about it. Like, they should work. Yeah. Like, this is a radio station. All of our stuff should work.

[A]

We got. Take the victories where we have them here. All right. I do have some tickets coming up. I'm going to do things just slightly different, but. Alex, I got you. Your mic's working. You sound great this morning. What's trending?

[B]

You know who else is working is Texas Hammer. He's working to help us today. Help us raise some money for backpacks with kids. All you got to do to help out is take a picture. Show us your hammer. Show us you with a hammer.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And post it to our Facebook page, the Rod Ryan show page on Facebook.

[A]

I need 125 selfies an hour. That's, like, the pace we need to be on to get 500 by 10 o'. Clock. $10 a selfie. We put up a picture on our Facebook page and pinned it to the top. All you got to do is just, like, you're gonna comment, add your picture to that. You guys are doing a great job.

[B]

Megan had a question for me. She said that they're not going into the office today, that they're doing everything remote. Can they do, like, if they're on one big call, can they all send, like, a one screenshot of everybody holding the hammers? Will that count as individual screenshots, or will that only count as one?

[A]

Was she on, like, a zoom meeting? Yeah.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

So, like, if you were on the zoom and you showed, like, there's eight screens on the one screen, would that count if you had eight individual people holding eight different hammers?

[A]

I mean, I'm not the Texas Hammer. I know sometimes people Think I am.

[B]

Submit it. We'll throw it to Jim.

[A]

Jim, can I bet you he'd allow that?

[C]

He's gonna love it no matter what.

[B]

Thank you, Megan. I like it when people reach out for clarification. Yeah, go take your picture with your hammer and show us your hammer today. World Cup's trending. It's gonna be trending for the net like the next month. Guys, everybody. Everybody's talking about it. Messi scored yesterday. Erling Holland scored yesterday. Ronaldo plays today. World cup, very hot right now. And then Tom Holland is trending. He confirmed that he and Zendaya are, in fact married. After months, weeks, I don't know how long. Thank God, that's speculating about it. I personally can finally sleep now.

[A]

I wake up every day going, is today the day those kids tell us?

[B]

Are they or are they not? And now we know, but that's just trending.

[A]

And I prefer the bus in them not telling everybody that they're married.

[C]

It's very weird.

[A]

It's made people that much more curious and they probably have more questions.

[B]

They're like, just. Just tell us.

[A]

Yeah, just get it over with. I get it. Privacy. It's okay. Now I've got Bug Cherry, Blackstone, Cherry tickets. I had people email Mo before, and I think I just took the first email. Mo, you're not going to be happy with me.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

But there is a delay and it takes a little bit of time for everybody to hear the message.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I. I just said the first person. That's what you said last time to get Mo. The correct answer would be the winner. Okay.

[C]

What are you going to do this time?

[A]

The 25th person to email mo the buzz dot com. And that'll take a little time and that should even the playing field out.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

You got to put Black Label Society

[C]

in the subject line.

[A]

In the subject line.

[C]

Got it.

[A]

[C]

Sunday.

[A]

Father's Day and the summer solstice collide in one massive celebration. It's the longest day of the year. Watch dad as he absorbs maximum daylight with minimum effort. No mowing the lawn, no doing chores. Let him drink beer and eat fried foods and make absolutely no plans whatsoever. The sun may reach its highest point in the sky, but Dad's feet will reach their highest point in the recliner. It's the summer solstice. It' Father's Day. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. The Rod Ryan show on 94. 5 the Buzz. Okay. 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Thank you so much for having us on. Mo. You getting a lot of emails. A lot. Thanks, Rod, but did I say the wrong.

[C]

[A]

This is such a cluster.

[C]

It's okay. It's okay. We've got this.

[A]

I'm giving away buck cherry. Blackstone Cherry.

[C]

That's what we meant to do.

[A]

And what did I tell people to put in the subject line?

[C]

Black Label Label Society. Which was last hour's tickets that we gave away. But she said it's okay.

[A]

That's me being an idiot.

[C]

Shelly said, it's fine. We can give away Black Label Society tickets. He said that's okay.

[A]

Ask him. You know what? Just because your host is completely coming apart at the seams, I'll ask email

[C]

25 what they'd like.

[A]

Yeah. So you do have 25 people that emailed.

[C]

I have 2500 people that emailed.

[A]

Okay. But the 25th person.

[C]

Rude, good person.

[A]

You can ask them if they give them their choice, because my intent was to give away the buck cherry. Blackstone. But it was Blackstone Cherry. That's why I said Black Label. Yeah.

[C]

Daniel is number 25. Congratulations, Daniel. I'll email you back and we'll get you set right up. Friends, thanks for hanging out with us and putting up with our crap.

[A]

Alice, does the bell work? Oh, my God. There's a few things that work around here they claim to be working on things. They're like, oh, it's a big network down. Like, there's something down with the whole

[C]

network they were working. We got some about them working on stuff.

[A]

Right. So I. So we ran around to ask the other radio stations in the building. No. What? You hear me? You fixed it. Yeah, I can hear you. You hear me?

[C]

Who's this?

[A]

Let's go. This is no dumb name. John. He's been calling all morning long just to, like, he's been sacrificing himself.

[B]

I wanted y' all to get it working.

[A]

You can hear the words that are coming out of my mouth.

[B]

Absolutely. I can't.

[A]

Okay. Give him a pair of tickets, too, to something.

[C]

John, you just hold on right there. Thanks for your help.

[A]

We're gonna give you something, too, dude. Thank you. Okay. Phones.

[B]

Love you guys.

[C]

You're a sweet angel.

[A]

The phones are working. Every time I went to see if the phones were working, that was John that kept calling in, and he was just talking on the line. We could hear him. Okay, so that's fixed. I knew they were lying to us.

[C]

Was.

[A]

They said it was a network thing, that the whole thing was down. Shelly goes down to the sports guys. He goes next door. All their phones are fine. Yeah, they're just like, okay, just tell Rod anything to make him. And just tell him we're working on it. All right, guys, it's Texas Hammer Day. Thank God we're not doing a phone based, like, fundraiser.

[C]

That would be extra sweating.

[A]

That would have really ruined me. What we are using is our Facebook page and we're asking you to take a picture with a hammer this morning.

[B]

Facebook's not done yet, is it?

[C]

The kids don't even say that.

[A]

The kids call it a selfie. I need a picture of you and a hammer. I need you go to. I need you to go to our Rod Ryan show Facebook page. Make sure it's our page with a little blue check mark. It's ours. And then where you would comment, I need you to drop a picture of you and a hammer just like Angela did and just like Ashley with an I did. And Lisa. And then there's a couple in here that, oh, they sent us email. So we just put them up there for them. So not everybody's on Facebook. So if you gotta. If you gotta send me an email.

[C]

Yeah, I love emails.

[A]

Matthew Everett. Thank you. He said, listen, I love Matthew because I took this at work last night. I was listening to the podcast, so he knew it wasn't going to be up this morning. He did the homework. This is why for the last two days I've been telling you guys, please take a picture with a hammer and then get it up there on Monday. We need 120. Now I know there's some repeats in here and stuff, so I'm not going by just the. But there's 167 entries under that. So we're pacing a little below where we need to be. I need 500 by 10 o'. Clock. That's 125 per hour. There's a bunch of you that have not taken a picture with a hammer yet and put it on our Facebook page. I need you to do this. Every one of them counts as 10 bucks. That's $10. So put it this way, every three pictures, I can go buy a backpack.

[C]

Thank you for that.

[A]

So every three pictures of a person with a hammer, that's a backpack pack full of school supplies for a kid. Okay. It's about 30 bucks, so that's pretty great. So that I'm just I'm putting the importance on such a small thing that you can do today. No money out of your pocket, just the picture. If you have any questions, my email is working. Obviously Mo's email is working. It's a little clogged up right now. But if you have any questions about it, like hey, does this count? Does this you and a hammer. If you got the same hammer, this is the biggest question I'm getting is, hey, there's five of us here at work and I brought in a hammer. Can we all take a picture with this hammer? Yeah. All five of you individual, use that same hammer and put five pictures up. That's 50 bucks. That's a couple of backpacks. So do that. If there's any questions continuing, you can email me [e-mail] thank you guys for hanging in there with us. Thank you so much.

Something from all 50 states for the 250th. For the 250th. But they're not gonna open it for, like, another 200 years or so.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I didn't do this. I feel like. Like, you guys maybe have a story in school. Yeah.

[C]

Elementary school.

[A]

I. I've never got time. Those time capsules, because you don't.

[B]

You don't ever see them be open. Like, when was the last time you heard of a time capsule being open?

[C]

We opened one in elementary school.

[A]

There's like, a handful of times, but,

[B]

like, I feel like we're always, like, put stuff in it, and then it's like, I don't want to just, what now what.

[A]

What was the one that you opened?

[C]

I don't know. It was like, a elementary school. It was buried at our elementary school, and I remember opening it, and it was from, like, when our teachers were in school.

[A]

Uhhuh. Something long ago, I mean, I guess. Yeah, you're right.

[C]

Like, you have to set a deadline with it, but you, as a child probably aren't going to see.

[A]

What Alex is talking about is, like, okay, you. You get to take part in this thing. Maybe you add something. There's no instant gratification, but the payoff could be in 200 years.

[C]

Right.

[B]

Like, there was when my daughters were born at Memorial Herman. They have a Houston time capsule or something in the lobby.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I wanted to break that glass so bad just to be like, what's in there?

[A]

Do you know what year that stuff was put in there?

[B]

Remember what year it was put in there, what year it will be open? But I want in that so bad.

[A]

So I thought it would be fun. What would you put. What represents 2026? Oh, like, the first thing that came to mind, you know, I don't know how my mind thinks. The first thing that came to mind is my receipt from the grocery store when I was shopping for Memorial Day weekend, where I thought I was gonna get out of there for a couple hundred dollars.

[C]

And it's like an itemized breakdown.

[A]

I still haven't said. I. I'll take it to my grave how much I spent that day. It was the most I ever spent at a grocery store. I was thinking that if I was going to contribute something to say, hey, what was 20? What. What was it like in 2025? Here's what Rod Ryan spent getting ready for Memorial Day weekend, and I would like my receipt there.

[B]

Does that to be something I have.

[A]

I just think the other. Then the next thing I thought was, okay, something Taylor Swift like, you know, who's a big. Who's a bigger artist on the planet right now? Taylor Swift is still the biggest artist on the planet in a 2025 time capsule. You'd have to have something from Taylor Swift in there. Right.

[B]

I was thinking. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, but what other things.

[B]

Gold medal from the hockey team.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

That's cool.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But Jack uses tooth. Jack Hughes, the portion of his tooth that he lost. That would be pretty sick.

[A]

But the men's and women's gold medals.

[B]

Paralympic team.

[A]

And the Paralympic team, like those gold medals. Is that the first time? For me, that's the biggest thing that happened in 2025 or 2026 if they win the World Cup. Sure.

[B]

With the trophy.

[A]

Anything else, though?

[C]

I mean, what about like the latest. Latest cell phone? Like technology is going to change so a lot.

[A]

There is a real. Like, we're talking about our time capsule. What would we. What would we think would be a good thing in there? They are putting an iPhone 17 in the time capsule and every state gets to put a little something in there. There's a lot of rules and restrictions. You know, like the first thing somebody's going to say is, well, Texas barbecue, that's not going to age well. Okay. In a time cap, there are time

[C]

capsules that do like Big Macs.

[B]

I've seen those. Yeah.

[A]

And they're always.

[C]

It looks the same.

[A]

Bunch of empty Ozempic needles.

[B]

That would Definitely.

[A]

The number 67 when everybody got thin. 2026.

[C]

When are they going to open it? Do you know? Do they have it? They announced what the plan is. I haven't seen it.

[A]

I think it's. It's a long time.

[C]

And I did hear it weighs like 600 pounds already.

[A]

And I.

[C]

It's like massive.

[B]

Like, where do they.

[A]

Where is it going? And they said that leather couldn't go in there there. If so. So. So you couldn't like go to Republic Boot and put a pair of boots in there or something from Texas? Yeah, Leather couldn't be in there. I. The funniest thing, this is not an original idea, but I saw online somebody said a video greeting from Nick Cannon because future humans need to know who their common ancestor is.

[B]

He's like the Genghis Khan. Nick Cannon. Elon Musk are going to be Genghis Khan.

[A]

Think about it. Nick Cannon with his 80 kids and then they're all having Kids and then their kids and their kids. We're all going to be descended from Nick Cannon back, you know, in the future generations later. I mean there's a good chance you're going to be related to Nick Cannon.

[B]

Stop.

[A]

In like 100 years from now.

[B]

Does Houston get to claim the moon thing? The. From our fraud moon trip? Is that, is that here? Because I need that German guy. Think it's the furthest we didn't go

[A]

to the moon but it's the furthest in space man has ever gone.

[B]

Put the thing in there and be like this is from.

[A]

So something from that ship should go in there.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Been back since then.

[A]

Elon Musk is a trillionaire. Not everybody is celebrating that. As a matter of fact a lot of people are not celebrating that. But is it. Is it substantial?

[B]

Put a cyber truck in there.

[A]

There was a. A guy became a trillionaire. And then when they open it. Yeah, when they opened it in 100 years. You mean not everybody was a trillionaire.

[B]

Right.

[A]

You know what I mean? Like that's gonna like you guys celebrated a trillion dollars. That's nothing.

[B]

What about Travis Pastrana's bike that he did the backflip on the White House lawn with like they one time did cool tricks on the White House lawn.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

A memory.

[B]

And he's using a video with that. And they were like that. That's pretty wild.

[A]

Throw a croc in there while you're at it. All right. 250 years. $250,000 ultimately get ultimately given away by iheart. $2,500 keyword. Coming up at 8 o' clock Houston's

[B]

rockin alternative the Rod Ryan Morning Show.

[C]

6 to 10am 94. 5 the buzz.

[A]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. That's cedar and Remedy. Good morning Rod Ryan show. What a great show. They're coming to town. It's a sold out show but they're going to be in town with Stained and Hoobastank and Hinder. If you were listening yesterday, Hoobastank put out a brand new song that came out on the overnight. We jumped on it immediately. Alex got it in the system. We played you a little clip of it yesterday. I really liked it. I went back and listened to it one more time just to confirm to see. Okay. Is this something that I. It's good. It's really good. That would be on yesterday's music blog page. All news stories. All new updated jelly roll divorce stories. Not laughing at. They're getting a divorce. The coverage of Anything Jelly Roll is crazy to me how that guy activates the news cycle. People just. They love covering anything Jelly Roll related. So there's a lot of stuff on their divorce. It's all on links and guests. I got mo right now with Houston's headline. Right now, I think everybody that's listening to us, everyone's getting rained.

[C]

It is rainy.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

70 to 90% chance for rain this morning. That's when we're going to see the worst of everything. But actually, we do have some good news. Our coastal cities are getting strong winds, heavy rain. Yes. No question. I see a flash flood warning still. It's set to expire at 8am for Missouri County. We'll see if they extend it. But in town, our weather pattern is becoming much more hit or miss, which is great news for flooding. Not as bad as it could have been.

[A]

It's just this next hour is the worst.

[C]

We're gonna see what happens this next hour. It's still potential storm one, AKA Almost Arthur. He is a move in which we like to see. Get him the heck out of here

[A]

as fast as possible. Okay?

[C]

So be on top of it.

[B]

Get out of here.

[C]

So let's see what else is going on, Rod.

[A]

Ufc.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

The FBI, they disrupted a sophisticated plot to attack the UFC Freedom250 event at the White House on Sunday. As of right now, five people are in custody. 23 individuals have been identified as part of this alleged network. One of the guy's moms called in, was like, something's going on with my son. He's talking to weird people. He just bought a bunch of guns. And that. That's why the FBI knew where to narrow in.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Cash. Patel said agents became aware of the plot June 10, praised the rapid action, and kept the UFC event never at any risk. And these headlines based around this UFC stuff led to the White House World cup task force to confirm that all of the World cup matches in the US have counter drone mitigation technology in place.

[A]

These guys are working their asses off behind the scenes.

[C]

All of the our fan fest events in every host city also protected by the same counter drone technology.

[A]

Keeping us safe.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Keeping us safe. Thank you.

[C]

Would you buy a $13,000 robot toilet to drive to your bedside at night? Robot toilet.

[A]

It's not necessary for me.

[C]

Do you get up in the middle of night to go to the bathroom?

[A]

It's a fair question. The answer is no.

[C]

Me either. When I'm asleep, I'm asleep.

[A]

It's a question that I ask my friends. They all get up in the middle of the night to whiz.

[C]

What do you think that is?

[A]

As you get older, you just get up. You've disrupted sleep when you get older. Yeah, I don't. I also don't sleep as much as most people. So in the six hours that I do sleep, just let me sleep. I'm locked in. You get up in the middle of the night to pee? Absolutely not. No.

[B]

Three hours I'm asleep.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You don't wonder if that has anything to do with our hours?

[A]

Chili. Chili gets up to pee, huh?

[C]

Are you nodding your head? Chilli Hello. Talk to us about your bathroom habit, Julie.

[A]

You get up in the middle of the night to go whiz? Yeah, sometimes I do. Because how many times a week out of seven days? Maybe like five. Five times? Four to five. It just depends because I'm on like a diuretic medicine.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So it makes you feel a little more. Yeah, pee a little more.

[B]

So.

[A]

And I think it only gets worse as you get older.

[C]

Okay. I have that to look forward to.

[A]

Some people get older multiple times in the night.

[C]

Maybe a smart toilet chili might be up to you. It wobbles over to the side of your bed. You do have to get up out of your bed, but it has a built in bidet system to clean you up. Why are you heading back to the docking station?

[A]

The toilet's not going to wobble over. It's like it's full of water. It's going to like it comes on over. It's going to Roomba over, like Roomba over.

[C]

You know what I mean?

[A]

It's going to be smooth.

[C]

I mean it does have a docking station. It's hooked up to your plumbing. So nothing too, too weird when it comes to cleanliness. But it's not made for lazy people. It's made for people with age, mobility.

[A]

If you want, if you want to see this robot toilet, it's on links and guests, you can see it in action.

[C]

Eminem is suing meta for $109 million and a federal judge is okay with it. The judge just allowed Eminem's publisher, 8 Mile Style to move forward with this copyright lawsuit against Meta and all of Meta's platform, claiming that Meta has over 243 songs, including some of Eminem's that include Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, music libraries without proper licenses. We'll see how this pans out. And then we just got news. Daughtry just announced they're hitting the road a little fall acoustic tour at some intimate Theaters, small venues celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band. I do see San Antonio and Dallas. Dallas shows in November. Nothing in Houston quite yet. General on sale is Friday. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Anybody catch that article? I don't get Houston Chronicle, but I saw it enough on social media. They did a story on why do you guys all think that artists are skipping Houston? There was really no definitive answer in there. But Paul Wall, they must have interviewed Paul Wall and Paul said that. But everyone knows we have this walk up culture here and that drives ticket sellers crazy because you're trying to get these tickets sold out ahead of time. You're trying to get hit your numbers.

[B]

You want to add second dates and stuff that you had to do two nights in a city. If you want to know that ahead of time.

[A]

That was one of Paul's comments. It's like, yeah, everybody knows in Houston, man, it's a walk up city. Nobody wants to commit early. It's like, what would make it worse here? What would make us that way more so than a city not far from us?

[B]

I don't know. I mean, if you look at any sporting event in Houston, I know if you like, I mean Astros, unless they're good, no one's going to those games. The Rockets, if they're in the playoffs, at halftime, you see people start filling in.

[A]

Go look at the Texans kickoff with an empty.

[B]

I mean, a lot of time is because they have a great part, a great tailgate atmosphere. But like kickoff, people are still filing in at that point.

[A]

So we feel like you guys, we do feel like, okay, just it's Daughtry. Nobody's gonna die. But he's coming to two Houston cities. He's coming in and around the area.

[B]

Why?

[A]

Why no Houston on there?

[C]

Yeah, I don't know.

[A]

I don't have the answer and I didn't really get the answer from reading the Cron article either. What you got?

[B]

Astros got a win last night to beat the Tigers 4 to 2. They're gonna wrap up their series with Detroit this afternoon. Peter Lambert is going to be on the mound for the Strozz. Going up against against the Tigers, Casey Mize first pitch is at 110. You can listen to the game on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. At the World cup yesterday, France beat Senegal three to one. Norway took care of Iraq four one. Argentina shut out Algeria three nil behind three goals from Lionel Messi. And Austria beat Jordan three to one. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

All right, coming up on the halfway point of the show. And you know you got that key word coming your way. Listen up, Houston's rockin alternative, the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[C]

6 to 10am 94. 5 the buzz.

[A]

Halfway point of the show, people. Let's reset this thing. I. We can either burn it down or we can just reset. I chose to reset.

[B]

Heck yeah.

[A]

I always go, let's reset the whole thing. Good morning everybody. Rod Ryan show on this wild card Wednesday. But even more important, it's. It's our Texas Hammer day and you're doing a great job. I'll catch you up on like kind of where we're at that with all of this. But the weather is the number one story today, even above. We're here. We're trying to fundraise, we're trying to raise money for backpacks and do the, do the right thing here. But we got a serious weather situation on our hands. Flash flood warning is on now until about 10:30 and it's. I don't know how you're wording this. I'm not saying that you're doing it wrong. It's. It's not a named storm. It's like an almost named storm.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

That's a new one to me.

[C]

I know.

[A]

It's like very close to being getting a name.

[C]

Yeah. They're watching the, the speed of how fast it's moving. Yeah.

[A]

So I don't know. So even though it doesn't have a

[C]

fancy name, it's not Arthur yet. It's still a potential storm. One is what they're calling it.

[A]

It's still a pain in the ass.

[C]

It is.

[A]

And everyone's getting rained on right now. Please be careful. Be careful out there on the roads. I have already seen some flooding. The wall, the ground is saturated.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

The traffic's bad.

[A]

However you guys say bios. The bayous, however you guys say it. I call them bayous. They're full. Okay. So you just gotta be careful out there. I appreciate you having us on. If I can get somebody on the phone real quick just to make sure that they're working, I think we've had it all reset. I've seen a lot of people from New York on email this morning, so they're acting like they are treating this like it's a big deal, but we had troubles. If you're just joining us, then you're fine. But the first couple of hours have been hell here trying to get the phones working. And I don't think it's not weather related. That would be excusable. I think at this point, so many of you are entering the keyword right now. I'm trying to reset everything. Many of you are entering that keyword right now to win some money. Go win money money from our company. Okay? Please. They owe you. Okay? Treat it like they owe you $2500. Enter that keyword. What was it? Travel. I think the word was travel. Tonight, enter [e-mail] and then hopefully you're gonna win $2,500. Ultimately, we're giving away 250, 000 here, so that's great. It's Texas Hammer day. I had mentioned that I need 500 of you to drop a selfie. I appreciate the honesty. Stephanie said. Brad, I'm behind. I'm gonna be late for work. I'm scrambling to find a hammer right now. Don't even say it. You're right. I did not do my homework.

[C]

We tried to warn you. I told I was the same way, though.

[A]

But we told everybody Monday and Tuesday, take your picture today of your. Take your selfie with the hammer and then have it ready to go Wednesday morning. So you're not Stephanie. Scrambling late for work. Damn it. I gotta get Rob that picture. I gotta put it up on the Facebook page. I need 500 of you. And I'm gonna have to take a break, so I'm gonna have to get back into this. Just know that I need your help today. We're raising money. Backpacks full of school supplies for the kiddos. Working with Houston children's charity. You know how we do all this all summer long. Well, the Hammer's offering up $5,000. I'm not asking you for money today. Although, if you want to go into the store and shop, that's great.

[B]

Accept it.

[A]

Of course. Of course you can go shopping today. If you wanted to go drop some money and make a donation, great. But my big ask today is just a little bit of time. You a picture of a hammer and put it on our Facebook page. That's $10. That's 10 bucks. If I get 500 of you to do that, I get $5,000 from the Texas Hammer. Okay. More on that. More everything.

[A]

5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. All right, we're gonna get you winning some tickets coming up. This is the worst hour, I believe of the entire day weather wise. Flash flood warning is gonna be on till at least 10:30. That might get extended. There's an almost named storm. That's the first time I've ever used that term. There's an almost named storm that's floating around and we're just getting a ton of rain right now now, so please be careful. I know that you guys are are busy working on getting to where you need to be and doing it safely again. I hate to keep throwing it in your face, but I told you take the picture with the hammer Monday, Tuesday, so you wouldn't have to worry about it today. Now I need the hammer pictures. I'm gonna talk about that coming up. I want to talk to Alex though. What's trending Soccer Hammer match day is trending. Soccer weather and hammers. That's what I. That's every. That's all I see on.

[A]

Oh God.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He's already got the record at that age.

[A]

in the World cup with his hat trick yesterday.

[B]

Close German guy.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

16 as well. And then the weather. Not the weather. You think Floyd Mayweather is trending. He is facing facing felony charges for trying to pass a bad check for $250,000 in Las Vegas. Oh, well, he just won a zillion dollars for doing the McGregor fight. You telling me maybe he just had

[C]

to, like, put it in a different account.

[B]

You mean maybe he's just doing all these fights because he doesn't pay taxes and has to pay those out, and then he's still always. He's gonna be in debt for the rest of his life. That seems like kind of maybe that's what's going on.

[C]

But he didn't know about this.

[A]

To keep the celebrities in trouble going, the Crazy Criminal blog page, headlined by Ms. Obstacle been sentenced to 20 years. Diddy seen another reduction in his sentence.

I stated this week, if you wanted to, we're loving the pictures of your dogs with the hammers. It's very funny to me. Just seeing a dog sitting there next to a hammer, that's funny to me. That counts. That's 10 bucks that does.

[B]

I have my daughter. She's not a dog, but I'm gonna throw her with a hammer on there right now.

Careful on those math numbers, Rob. 125 pictures an hour. Four hours that we're on. We'll get the 500 pictures. Right now. It's 8:35. We got about 300 on there. So we're getting there. It's just.

[B]

The Rod Ryan show.

[A]

A radio network. An empire upon an empire on 94.

[C]

5.

[A]

Now it's complete control. The buzz is so stoked. 94. 5, the buzz. Sublime and Ensenada. Sublime gonna be playing that show that's gonna be on the 4th of July. Did we say it was on the 4th? Right. Hosted by our friend, the funniest man on the planet. He's hilarious. What a card. Cracks me up. Ryan's gonna host this thing. It's basically. It's more of a country show than

[C]

anything because it's in Nashville.

[A]

Yeah. And then we thought it was a little odd. I mean, there's Joe Jonas and there's a couple of other artists on there, but we thought it was odd that Sublime was a part of it. Good for them. Great exposure for them. But then when I. I was asking Alex, who really is a big Sublime fan, we started thinking about the lyrics to the songs. Like, Ensenada is about banging horse. You can't sing that song on Disney plus on the 4th of July. And then I asked Alex what is appropriate that Sublime has that they could play something new? Wrong way. No. And they got to do a hit, though. They. They. They can't do, like, an album cut. It's got to be a hit. So it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Good for them. There's another show that's coming up. We. We talked about the whole thing with the, like, listen, Republicans, Democrats, it's just different Republicans. You want to put on a music show. Your. Your artists are limited. You're gonna roll out Lee Greenwood, right? He does that America song, and then you get Ted Nugent, you get Kid Rock, and, you know, Aaron Lewis from Stained, and you can't even have three doors down anymore. Barack Obama does something. He's got his presidential library coming up tomorrow. It's always been this way. Appearing and performing Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Eddie Vedder, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera. Common, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Mark Anthony and the Roots to name a few. Holy craps.

[B]

Chicago.

[C]

I would assume so, yeah.

[A]

Have you seen his library? Like people are.

[B]

I don't know, they were finished. I thought it was like way longer than that to get your library.

[A]

The criticism is, and again, you know, it's, it's either side of the aisle. It's an odd looking building. It is. Do yourself a favor, Google the Barack Obama presidential library and just see I am not an architect, so I don't know. It is a. It's an interesting looking building for sure. Sure. But boy, he's got a heck of a lineup playing, that's for sure.

[B]

Rock and alternative for Houston, the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[A]

6 to 10am Before 5 the Buzz Texas Hammer day. It's also wild card Wednesday. Smack dab in the middle of the week. Guys. We only got one more hour together. Is that true? Okay, five Finger Death Punch tickets. Cody Jinx, September 27th. Those tickets are on Mow the Show. But, but speaking of Mo, she can't shut up about the weather. Love talking weather.

[C]

That's not what I love talking about.

[A]

Talking about rain. You just looked outside, it's raining.

[C]

I think meteorologists make a lot more money than I do.

[A]

Flash for a reason. Flood warning until 10, 10:30.

[C]

Right now, 10:30, it has been extended. Thank you, Rod. Our weather Wednesday, we're just watching it. All of us under a flash flood watch. Some of us under the flash flood warning parts of Harris Chambers, Liberty county. And now a tropical storm watch issued for Galveston island with increasing flood risks. So obviously we're continuing to monitor this potential storm. 1 aka almost Arthur. He's a move in. Our coastal cities are getting strong winds, heavy rain. Houston, here in town, that weather pattern is becoming a lot more hit or miss, which is great news. We still have like a 90 chance for rain this morning. We are currently seeing the worst of everything. Just be on top of it, all right? Right. We woke up to some horrible footage of the scene of a business jet. Six people on board crashed into a highway in Laredo. Caught fire last night. Authorities say it killed one person. Caused chaos because people were leaving their vehicles to frantically try and help try and smash the windows of this plane to free the people inside. The plane, sheared in half, nearly tipped on one side in the middle of the highway, people are banging with sledgehammers, shovels. It's insane. The plane departed from Los Cabos International Airport in Mexico like 6 o' clock last night. Not clear what caused the crash, but it was some sort of mechanical failure. It's nuts. You're gonna see the pictures all over the place. The latest hot spot, according to Alex for dating, is the World cup venues. Alex actually didn't know anything about this, but now he does.

[A]

Well, he does because he's doing the. These parties around the World Cup. So I don't know. Are, like, people hooking and booking?

[B]

Probably at Chapman and Kirby this Friday night.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

What time should we be there?

[B]

7 or 9.

[A]

Friday night?

[B]

8 to 10 at Sunset Rooftop on Saturday.

[C]

Saturday.

[A]

Single people are saying, wow, there's a. The dating pool is much bigger. We got a lot of visitors in this country right now, but they're so spread out. I mean, I guess if you're in one of the. You know, like, our city.

[C]

Right. Here we are.

[A]

Okay. Get down to fan festival and hook up.

[C]

Yes, the New York Post actually picked up this story, and it's since gone viral on social media. Americans that are single and looking for sexy, maybe affluent, eligible, international soccer fans.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

They're flocking to these host city parties. I mean, duh.

[A]

Who's hosting parties? Our man Alex.

[C]

Alex.

[B]

My good friends at Neutral are.

[C]

Exactly.

[B]

Fan fest is pona.

[A]

Neutral. Meet some Sweden dude, some Dutch people.

[B]

It's great.

[C]

Yeah, make it happen.

[B]

Maybe an American.

[C]

Let's go.

[A]

I mean, add to their American experience. Oh, they're gonna love it.

[B]

Show them the best.

[A]

Oh, my God. Ranch Dressing the girls. It was awesome.

[C]

Welcome to Houston Ranch.

[A]

Jess dressing and the women downtown and Neutral. What a trip.

[C]

Tom Holland is trending. Today he did a new interview with Esquire. Already picked his favorite candidate to take over as Spider Man. One day, he named a kid named Owen Cooper, calling the rising star awesome and super talented. Tom Holland said that Robert Downey Jr. Had mentored him during his early Marvel years. And so Tom Holland hopes to do this with whoever's next after him.

[A]

That's nice.

[C]

Tell me about Tom Morello.

[A]

He started a band called Rage against the Machine. You'd be asking me, what's the machine? The machine is the world we live in. And he just rages against everything. So he speaks up and out and against a lot of things. And he thinks more artists should do what he does. He does.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Use their music as a platform.

[C]

He did a recent interview and he was asked, when people say that musicians should not be involved in politics, it means they are people that disagree with your politics.

[A]

That's pretty. I mean, on brand, I don't always agree with Tom's points that he makes. He's still my favorite guitar player. Like, I could separate the two.

[B]

Have we all been to a show? Even if you agree with what they're saying, just like, dude, just shut up. Play your song. Let's go. Come on. People get preachy sometimes.

[A]

And I.

[B]

Whether or not you believe it or not and, like, agree with them or not, you're like, I. I didn't come here for this, man. I didn't come here for your spoken word. I get it. It's your show.

[A]

But still, you know who's great at that? Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl.

[B]

Goes right into it.

[A]

He aligns. No, no, no. He's great about it. He doesn't incorporate that into his shows. He aligns himself with a side. We've all seen him out at certain things.

[C]

Things.

[A]

But he doesn't bring that into the shows. He just keeps it separate. He's like, let's have a rock concert and let's get away from that stuff. But you know what you're getting into if you're going to see Tom Morello. If you want to see him, you know he's going to talk true, and it's like, okay, I'll sit through what he has to say. I want to watch this guy play guitar.

[C]

Yeah. And if you don't, you don't go

[A]

to a show, you're not shocked. You can't go to a. You can't go to Tom Morello. So anything with him on stage and say, oh, oh, my God, this guy was talking. He hates Trump. Blah, blah, blah. We know you know that going in. But then there are artists, like I said, the Foo Fighters, they go out of the way. They say, you know what? Here's three hours that we're not getting into any of that. Let's just rock out together. So it's different. One's not wrong. It's just, you know what you're getting into with Tom Morello.

[C]

The full interview is posted up on her music blog page at the world famous Rod Ryan show page@the buzz.com. those are Houston's headlines.

[B]

That's the best.

[A]

And the dogs are sitting there going, yeah, of course I want to help out kids.

What kind of dog do you think it is?

[A]

You're better at that than me. It's got the brindle, like, vu colors.

[C]

Frauds.

[A]

Some of them are fan pages and stuff.

Thank you, Mr. Jim and Bill Adler. So generous. So generous. Mo sitting on five finger death punch Cody Jinx tickets. But those aren't until Moe the show. So we got a little bit of time here. I. Yeah, it's a big deal. For. For over 10 years, America has said that they have a favorite fast food chain restaurant. For over 10 years, Chick Fil a has held the top spot. Okay, I know I got a big Chipotle guy here. I got a Willy's Grill and Ice House gal over Here I get all of that, but American Customer Satisfaction Index. They've been doing this thing forever and it really hasn't been close. Chick Fil a has held the top spot up until this year. What's changed? Have they changed anything at Chick Fil A?

[C]

No, it's very dependable.

[A]

Yeah. Is it the same? Do you know who. Who's overtaken them?

[C]

I can't even fathom who it would be. What was the category best? What?

[A]

It's America's favorite fast food chain.

[C]

Fast food.

[A]

Fast food chain. They still put Starbucks in there. And Starbucks. Starbucks is in at number five. There's pizza chains in here.

[C]

Is Chick Fil A two?

[A]

Chick Fil A is two. Okay, you gotta guess two. It's not Burger King or McDonald's.

[C]

Okay, but they're not in the top five, are they?

[A]

They're on the list. They get mentioned. They're huge.

[C]

They're every food.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It's not in and out burger, is it?

[A]

I. No, cuz I don't think there's enough of them.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Jersey Mike's has taken the top spot, edging out so that you. Without getting. Without getting. There's a score that you get when they go through everything and there's, you know, thousands of people that are surveyed and indexed.

[C]

They.

[A]

They scored an 84 out of 100. Chick Fil A scored an 83. So they lost by one point on their scale of how they judge these restaurants.

[C]

But Jersey Mike's.

[A]

His boy, Eli.

[C]

Do they have a drive thru?

[A]

Eli?

[B]

Yeah, it's probably. This is the Eli Manning factory. You get him, he moves the needle.

[A]

I'll tell you what. Him and Danny DeVito, they're good. They are. They are good in those commercials. Mostly Eli, though. Well, yeah, I knew you would say

[B]

he's the real star.

[A]

Jersey Mike's America's fast favorite fast food chain.

[B]

Add that to his super bowl titles, like give him another trophy.

[A]

I mean, he is a newer addition to their advertising.

[B]

Peyton never did this. Papa John, you tell me this.

[A]

We're not putting this.

[C]

Peyton does Papa John.

[A]

Papa John number one.

[B]

Are they.

[A]

Papa John's is on here.

[C]

Here. They're on there.

[A]

So Jersey. Jersey Mike's is number one. Chick Fil a is number two. And then Jimmy John's and Panda Express tied for three.

[C]

Oh, I do like Jimmy John's.

[A]

Okay. Kfc.

[C]

That's fast. Wait, I can't.

[A]

I. Kfc. Papa John's and Pizza Hut are tied for four. Then you got Domino's Raising and again, they all scored the same number.

[C]

That's why they all counted as fast food.

[A]

Domino's, Raising Cane, Starbucks and Subway in at five. Burger King, Culver's, Dunkin, Little Caesars, and Panera at six.

[C]

That's weird.

[A]

Congratulations. That's Jersey. I've been twice. My chick does a lot of stuff with Special Olympics and they do some give back nights.

[C]

Oh, very nice.

[A]

So we'll go on them on those nights at least two years in a row. I've gone now. And that sub is badass. It really is. It's really good. It's really good. I've been to Subway in forever. I'm just trying not to eat like that. But that. That Jersey Mike sub has been great the two times that I've had it. It's really good.

[B]

Does Eli Manning belong in the sub hall of fame? I think it's technically, yeah.

[A]

Let's get him into the football hall of fame and then we can start talking about getting him to the food hall of fame. Maybe he'll be right there next to kfc. The. The Colonel.

You absolutely can win. We all won today. The kids. Kids won today. Because of the generosity of the Texas Hammers, we are, in fact, gonna get that $5,000. There's over 567 pictures now that are up, so I know 500 of them are unique for sure. With that amount, you know, I was. I was kind of saying, hey, with duplicates and stuff, let's go over 500 and let's make sure that we earn all that money today. We did.

[B]

Did.

[A]

You guys are great. That's $10 per pick. We're getting $5,000 to go buy backpacks. Man, that is so great. Give yourself another bell. We couldn't play fresh out of bed. Head to head James. James is gonna be playing this game for months. He's gonna go for win number four tomorrow. And we'll get this. The phones are working. They said that they they found the fix and all that good stuff. So maybe some good will come up out of our misery. Today, Daniel won Black Label Society tickets. Another Daniel one, Black Cherry Buck or Blackstone Cherry Buck Cherry tickets. Ozzy won the seven Dust tickets. You heard me correct. And again, everybody that submitted a selfie, thank you so much. Jeremy is up next. He's got the non stop nooner. Pick your tickets with him in the 1 o' clock hour and then you're shot at $2,500. You got to listen for that key word. 11, 2 and 5 wave. We'll be back tomorrow. Read my lips. Fix the gram Thursday, Throwback Thursday. All the fun things, guys. And hopefully the weather won't be quite as bad and we can just get back to doing a regular show.
