Mo
Justice Department nationally announced yesterday it's gonna stop all work on President Trump's $1.8 billion anti weaponization fund. A issued a temporary order blocking the program and then the Justice Department decided just to go ahead and be the ones to call it off. The fund, as you know, is created through a settlement of Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns. An hour's long SWAT standoff in the Katy area ended with two dead. The Harris County Sheriff's Office responded to the incident in reference. A man was frantic on the phone. Said he accidentally shot his girlfriend around 2pm yesterday. The man wouldn't cooperate with law enforcement for several hours, which led to the SWAT team being there deploying gas in the apartment. The guy retreated to his balcony where he suffered a self inflicted gunshot wound around 7pm last night. It was ongoing. Obviously very sad circumstances. Okay, can I turn things around? Because there is a video going viral that made me lol.
Rod Ryan
It's awesome. This video is so great.
Mo
Okay, there's this shirtless older man wearing a kilt, and he says he's an electrician. He threatens to cut the electricity at Taco Bell because people were making fun of him, calling him a meth head.
Rod Ryan
Well, yeah. So the order of. Of this is he's called the names and he's like, you think I'm a meth head? I'm an electrician. Yeah, this is gonna be good.
Mo
Don't mind my shirtlessness and my kilt.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Now, he was in the wrong. You can't be in. You can't be in this place with no shirt on. Probably. I don't. I don't know for sure.
Mo
It was a Taco Bell in Florida.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo
It helps with the circumstances. Several people were like, yeah, shut the whole place down. Turn the lights off. He went outside, Alex, and he did. Within seconds, there's a click, and the restaurant's power goes off. Now, okay, fair. You don't know that it's him that does it, but it was him that did it.
Rod Ryan
It looked like that he did that. Yeah. It's a great video. Like, I've never been. I've never been on the side of, like, the messy looking guy before, and I'm on his side for some reason.
Mo
The memes are so great.
Rod Ryan
So great.
Mo
Swifties needed a minute yesterday to recover. Taylor Swift had a countdown clock. It expired, and now we know she's part of the Toy Story franchise.
Rod Ryan
So it's a. It's official. It's official.
Mo
Official. She wrote the original song for Toy Story 5. The song is called I knew it. I knew you. It comes out on Friday, and apparently it's a return to Taylor's country roots. Jesse the cowgirl.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo
It's inspired by her.
Rod Ryan
I mean, she's got to get excited about. I mean, I don't know what excites Taylor Swift, but she must have grown up with these movies like everyone else say that.
Mo
She said she's adored the franchise since she was 5, so, I mean, good for her. Apparently, things got heated during a Black Crows show in Tampa on Sunday.
Rod Ryan
Now, I have not watched this video yet or heard what. Well, I mean, I heard what he said, but I haven't watched the video to get the context, but go ahead.
Mo
Okay. So a picture of the band Scroll Crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam appeared on the big screen.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Some people in the audience started chanting, usa, why not? Well, the lead singer said, thanks for the geography lesson. I don't know what you have to be so proud of right now. So then people started booing and they left the show. He went on to say, for those of you booing us, some of us are not afraid and we most assuredly are not ignorant.
Rod Ryan
So he doubled down.
Mo
He doubled down on it. The people leaving the show is a look. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
That's on the music blog page today. It's actually headlining it. Take it, Alex.
Alex
Astros are back in action tonight. They're gonna open up a three game series with the Pirates at Dykin Park. Mike Burroughs will be on the mound for this drill, is going up against Bubba Chandler for the Pirates. And first pitch will be at 7:10. You can listen to it on our sister Station Sports Talk 7 90. At the Women's College World Series, Texas Tech and UT both won two games yesterday to advance to the finals. They had two consecutive games because they were in the losers bracket, defeat the undefeated teams did it and are going to face each other in the National Championship Series.
Rod Ryan
Wow.
Alex
Game one of that will start tomorrow night. In hockey, the Hurricanes are going to host the golden knights in game one of the Stanley Cup Final. That'll start at 7 o' clock tonight and you can watch it on ABC. We got the NBA Finals starting tomorrow night. That is what's going on in sports.
Rod Ryan
I know most got some news coming up. I will also add the Stanley Puppy is coming up. The Stanley Pup. I think that with the success of the Puppy bowl, they're trying to get puppies involved in the big sporting events that are coming up, including the World Pup. So there's a lot of that information is going to be coming. Chili's been working on blog pages right now. All right, well, thank you guys. Off to a good start.

Mo
I thought you got locked out. And I started to run.
Rod Ryan
Hi. Hi. Good morning, everybody. I dropped my card.
Alex
No, that's the worst.
Rod Ryan
That's the worst. I dropped my card. Oh, There you are. Hi.
Alex

Alex
We were not even.
Mo
You're good.
Alex
15 seconds.
Rod Ryan
I was just about to call, so I dropped my. I went to the. I went to the bathroom. Number one. I went to the bathroom, I dropped my cart. And then I'm like, oh my God, I can't get back in. Oh my God, this is my worst nightmare. I cannot get back in the room.
Alex
You're gonna scan three times to get in.
Mo
I was right. I was coming to get you. I knew where you were. Hey, we're good. Everything's fine.
Rod Ryan
So much panic.
Mo
Yeah, the worst.
Rod Ryan
So much panic to be just right
Mo
there, one room away and not be
Rod Ryan
able to get to you guys. And then there's my wallet sitting on the floor just on the ground like, thank God nobody's here. 94. 5 the buzz. I think that was AWOL Nation that was playing before I got here. Good morning. I hope you're off to a better start to your day. Let's see if things go better for Sean Connery. He's a three time hall of Famer. He's going to go for win number two. He just kind of dropped back in our laps yesterday. Jet tickets on the fun fact flashback today.

That'll be all three of my teammates here that are all going to be competing to try to win you those sold out stained tickets. Wow, a lot of phone lines ringing. I guess everybody making sure that I'm okay.

Rod Ryan
Oh, hey, there's Erock Erock.
Alex
Hey, what's up guys? How are you?
Rod Ryan
What are you out running or something? Working out you and your chick?
Alex
No, no, I just got to the parking lot of work.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so you're not out like for a little morning like marathon or something this morning?
Alex
No, not today.
Rod Ryan
Okay, well, hey, good to hear from you. How do you want to get us started today?
Alex
Man, I just looked up that video of the Taco Bell guy.
Rod Ryan
Oh my God, it's so funny.
Alex
Oh man, I laughed my ass off.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Are you rooting for that guy? Like I want. I kind of, yeah.
Alex
It reminded me of. It reminded me of the movie Office Space where Milton's like, well, I'll just burn down the building.
Rod Ryan
It's exactly what it is. He was.
Alex
He didn't get his paycheck he was offended, right?
Rod Ryan
Like, you think I'm a meth head?
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Wait a minute. You think I'm a meth head? You know what I could do to this place?
Alex
He's like, I'll show you.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. And then he walks out the door and then he. Boom. And this is like a stagnant camera footage that's inside the Taco Bell. So it's. It's like surveillance footage.
Alex
Oh, I got. I got it on camera. I got on camera. Well, lights are about to go out
Rod Ryan
and the place goes dark. Now what does he do? Number one. That's what I'm.
Alex
That's. That's what I'm gonna spend the rest of the day googling. Like, what did he do? Exactly.
Mo
Keep us posted.
Rod Ryan
Would you please do that so Mo doesn't have to. Okay, I will.
Alex
She gets.
Rod Ryan
She gets stuck in these wormholes. Thank you, E. Rock.
Mo
Hilarious.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Thanks, guys.
Rod Ryan
Have a good day. It's a very funny video. It's got its own blog page. Today I. It started. It started out on three things you must see. And then I said, no, this is too good. This is too good. It's got to get its own real estate. So you can go to the world famous Rod Ryan show blog page@the buzz.com and check that out. Quick break. When we come back, let's get. Let's find out what's trending. Let's get a rec check and then we'll get set up for our game.
Alex
Rock and alternative for Houston, the Rod ryan Morning show.
Rod Ryan
6 to 10am 945, the buzz. I'm here. I'm just going to stay right here. I'm not leaving. Good morning, everybody. Rod Ryan show On this Tattoosday today, 30% chance of isolated thunderstorms. Tonight, 50% chance of scattered thunderstorms. That's what's expected.
Alex
There's Alex.
Rod Ryan
Alex. What's trending?
Alex
Taylor Swift is trending.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. That whole Toy Story situation, that's a big deal that she's got a. What is it, a song on the soundtrack?
Alex
Yeah. She announced a new song. I knew it. I knew you. It's gonna be part of the upcoming Toy Story 5 movie. So people lose their mind.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, for sure.
Alex
And then Miles Garrett is trending. The Browns traded their star defensive end to the Rams for Rams star defensive end Jared Verse and a first round pick. It was a pretty big blockbuster trade, but it wasn't the biggest thing, I would say that happened in the NFL. Yesterday, Odell Beckham Jr. Signed a deal to return to his home. He's going home. You called this guy football giants.
Rod Ryan
You called this guy garbage before.
Alex
I don't know what you're talking about.
Rod Ryan
You called him garbage.
Alex
That doesn't sound like me.
Rod Ryan
Obviously sounds exactly.
Alex
Whatever I would have said then in whatever scenario you're throwing out was in Jessica. This is probably the greatest signing of the off season. So that is what's trending on 94. 5 the buzz.
Rod Ryan
Thank you. Good morning everybody. Three time hall of Famer 007, Sean Connery. And I feel like it's my job to remind everybody that it's Monday because
Alex

How for the. Just because I get beat up when I'm out like this just happened at ditch day. I get someone that comes right up in my face. I mean, in my face saying I can't get on that stupid game. How do you get on? Call every day. You gotta call every day. Ask Corey what he did to get on. Cory, good morning. Good morning. Corey. How'd you get on today? He just picked up the phone called, right? Yes, I did. But how do I answer the question when somebody says Rod? I try every day. I can't get through. How do I answer this?
Alex
You gotta keep trying. All right?
Mo
Keep trying.
Rod Ryan
This is Corey Taylor, lead singer of Slipknot. So we got. This is a very famous game. Corey Taylor and Sean Connery. A bunch of very famous people playing each other today. What are they playing for?
Mo
A very famous prize on the line. A Rod Ryan show T shirt.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. These guys are rich.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
They don't need anything. Rich, I say. All right. Corey Taylor, Sean Connery.
Alex
See how it goes.
Rod Ryan
Corey and Sean. That. That. You guys should be able to hear the difference there.
Mo
Most definitely.
Rod Ryan
Okay, I'll try to. Let's try not to use all the Moe's questions, please. Sean. Corey, question number one. What sport is played during the FIFA? Will we time that out? Sean Connery. Soccer. The FIFA World Cup. Soccer, yeah. Or football. Did you just say it like James Bond? Did you just say it? You really sounded like Sean Connery there. All right, 007's on the board. Corey Taylor from Slipknot. It's a little early for him to be up. Shout out your name when you think you know the answer. Here comes question number two. How many bones do sharks have in total? Sloan. That was Sean. I. I actually have no idea. That's a crazy question. Show me no idea. Corey said it's a crazy question.
Mo
Toddler question.
Rod Ryan
Three time hall of famer Sean Connery. How many bones do sharks have in total? Oh, that was Sean that answered that. Oh, that was Sean. Oh, yeah, that was Sean. Corey Taylor. I have no answer. Corey Taylor. You got nothing either. Zero. Yes. Zero.
Alex
It's all cartilage.
Mo
Thanks, Alex.
Rod Ryan
Sharks have no bones.
Alex
That was an insane question I'd ask.
Mo
Insane.
Rod Ryan
My son will be upset that I missed that one.
Mo
Make it up to him on the next one.
Rod Ryan
All right, 007's got one. Corey Taylor's got the other one. Here comes your third question for the win. Which birthday is America? Famously good.
Alex
Sean.
Mo
I'm gonna go sean as well.
Rod Ryan
Sean. 250. Correct answer.
Alex
Boy, is that other Sean getting first.
Rod Ryan
It was close. Shorey Taylor. Connery. The S got through first. Corey, you played a great game today. You did all right. Try to get back in again. Good knowledge on that Shark fact. I. I don't think I knew that.
Mo
Yeah, there's no point. You think the answer would have been 362. Like that would have been rude.
Rod Ryan
That's the team. Right? Right.
Alex
I would have known that.
Rod Ryan
I knew it had to be something like, wow.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. If it was 367, that would have been rude. We would have thrown things at you for sure. All right, that's a T shirt for Sean Connery and an invitation to play tomorrow. Hang on.
Alex

Now you're fresh out of bed, head to head, two day champion, and my son's gonna kill me on that shark question. Join me on Wednesday when I make it win number three, bitches. I called him Kenny yesterday. I'm gonna call him Kenny again today. Did you hear him on that short question? He's like, oh, what kind of question was that? Did you hear him? He's like, mo, what are you doing with me on that question?
Alex
Whatever.
Rod Ryan
He did make a comment on that question. He's like, what are you doing, Mo with that question? You can hear his frustration kind of. Is he turning into Kenny?
Mo
Maybe.
Rod Ryan
Yesterday I called him Kenny. Cause he's. All right. I brought in some new fun facts for you. I'm gonna flash back to yesterday's facts. Mo's got some jet tickets for you. She'll tell you about him in just a moment. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Oh, you're killing me on those questions.

Mo
Sure does.
Rod Ryan
Here's some new fun facts for you today. Hey, Hal. Good morning. Hey, brother Rod. Always fun to have you here for the fun facts. Delightful. When was the last time you cracked open a bottle of Yoo Hoo?
Alex
Oh, wow.
Rod Ryan
It's. It's good.
Mo
It's not the best though.
Rod Ryan
What is it? Is it milk?
Mo
They don't call it milk.
Rod Ryan
It's not chocolate.
Mo
Milk beverage.
Rod Ryan
But Yoohoo is badass. Like, I could kill for a Yoo Yoohoo right now. When's the last time you had one? It's gotta be 30 years. In 1966, Pepsi tried to compete with Yoohoo. So Yoohoo's been around since before that. They made its own chocolate drink called Devil Shake. Huge fail. Failure. Nobody goes up against Yoo and wins. It lasted about a year.
Mo
The best.
Rod Ryan
Is there any adult adaptation of Yoohoos? Anybody, like, come up with, like, you know, throw a little vodka in there or something? Or. Or would it curdle?
Mo
A chocolate martini?
Rod Ryan
I'm just saying. Has nobody come up with like a Yoohoo adult drink? Did I just. Verbal trademark.
Alex
Verbal trademark.
Rod Ryan
Verbal trademark. I am making a Yoohoo adult drink and I'm gonna put protein in there.
Mo
Protein, naturally.
Rod Ryan
Or protein?
Alex
Yoohoo.
Rod Ryan
I'm trademarking all this.
Mo
This.
Rod Ryan
The shortest commercial flight in the world is in Scotland. The flight goes between two islands, Orkney in Orne, Scotland. Sorry. So these two islands. The flight of Scotland. The flight lasts 80 seconds. That is fun. You know what I'm saying? Whoa. It's a real flight.
Alex
Did you just walk?
Mo
No, I think it's an island.
Rod Ryan
So you have to swim at a certain point. A bridge or a boat. Why do they have a flight?
Alex
Maybe even like a hot air balloon.
Mo
Trampoline.
Alex
There's lots of other. Yeah, trampoline.
Rod Ryan
Like a zip line would be quicker. Lacroix. Yes, Lacroix. Sparkling water. Gets its fancy French name from Wisconsin. That's neat. It's a cross between Lacrosse, Wisconsin, where it's made, and the St. Croix river, which is also in western Wisconsin. Pronounced Lacroix. And now you know. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Hal had a delayed laugh on that. It was like he thought about it for a minute. He's like, you know what?
Mo
Those silly Wisconsin nights.
Rod Ryan
I was just thinking.
Alex
Cheese.
Rod Ryan
What? You give it away.
Mo

Yeah. So it's a big deal. Taking kids into an actual restaurant is a big deal for us.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, I want it to be a big deal.
Mo
Yes. 100.
Rod Ryan
I do want it to be a big deal. We just don't do it a lot. So it is special when we go. And that's where I want it to be. Great when I go. And I know it's going to be great at Willie's. So Willie's Grill and Ice House, they're going to give 15% of the total bill to the Rod Ryan Show Cares Foundation. Now, if you order directly online, willys grill and icehouse.com or using willys rewards app, that will also count. But you've got to use the code in all caps, one word, Rod Ryan. R, O, D, R, Y, A, N. All one word uppercase. And then it'll register so you can still order for delivery. You can call them. Just tell them rod Ryan. And then we're gonna get the 15%, and that's everything that's on your bill. So there's no special menu item or anything like that. But the clutch thing here is you have to tell them. Corn on the cob is the summer food for me. I didn't even have to think twice about it. Of course, there's other foods that I associate with summer.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
But I put this up this morning. I saw somebody talking about it online, and I'm like, yeah, it's not officially summer yet.
Alex
Hell, it's summer.
Rod Ryan
Are you kidding me? It's summer. Is there one food or is it a bunch of foods? A grouping of foods? Because I already went through Memorial Day weekend. I made my potato salad.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
I made my tuna noodle salad, which London took for lunch. Like, just new tuna salad.
Mo
She loved it.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Which was awesome. I got to. I mean, that one went. Potato salad is very. I don't make that throughout the year. But watermelon.
Alex
How's it not watermelon?
Rod Ryan
Yeah, watermelon is probably the most. It's probably the most mentioned on our Facebook page right now. You can get watermelons all year round.
Alex
Yeah. But it's the Summer watermelon.
Rod Ryan
But corn.
Mo
Hempstead, Texas.
Alex
Corn has nothing about summer.
Rod Ryan
To me, corn sucks because it. That's when it's ready. That's when the good corn is ready.
Alex
Corn, you get a lotte all year round, buddy.
Rod Ryan
I know.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
But the good corn, the corn, that is. What is the saying?
Mo
Sweet corn, It's a knee high, by the 4th of July is where we're growing.
Rod Ryan
I'm from Indiana, but that's where you're from.
Mo
Yeah. And that's where I did growing up.
Rod Ryan
Up north. Like, the killer corn is really in August.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
That's when it's big enough to.
Mo
But people are, like, standing outside waiting at the farmer's market.
Rod Ryan
It's just like, you can get crawfish all year round, but, you know, there's a season where the crawfish is great. Then you get. You didn't get that farm. Crawfish. Watermelon is kind of all year round. But you're right.
Alex
Summery.
Rod Ryan
I associate it with summer.
Mo
Yeah. And you're, like, cutting it and you're eating, like, a full slice of it as a little. In your bathing suit.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Thinking, I'm gonna grow a watermelon plant because I swallowed seeds.
Rod Ryan
But you never saw a popsicle in my house.
Alex
I was gonna say popsicle.
Mo
That's what I was gonna say.
Rod Ryan
But growing up, I have them all year round in my house.
Mo
Do you know rich now popsicles? Yeah.
Rod Ryan
I don't.
Mo
I don't think that because you were deprived as a child.
Alex
That's a rich person.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, but what a popsicle is on a stick.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
Freezy. I call that a freezy pop.
Alex
Just like sugar water that's frozen in the plastic that cuts your lips.
Rod Ryan
The plastic tubey thing.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
That was only a summer thing in my house growing up.
Alex
We just got my daughter. They have. What's the electrolyte drink? Whatever. They're like Pedialyte ones.
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
My daughter goes crazy.
Rod Ryan
Oh, really?
Mo
That's so good.
Rod Ryan
On Facebook, what food says summer? You're right, Alex. More people saying watermelon than anything else. That's.
Alex
That's 4th of July right there, which is summer to me.
Rod Ryan
Cantaloupe. Ah, gross.
Mo
I don't like cantaloupe either.
Rod Ryan
Really? You like watermelon but not cantaloupe?
Mo
I have trauma.
Alex
Cantaloupe is like the parsley of fruit. Like, it's on the tray, but nobody's touching it.
Rod Ryan
Cantaloupe is awesome. What about honeydew?
Mo
Oh, the same thing.
Alex
Yeah. Like, you just Put those there. And you're like, yeah, we gave you a fruit tray. You're like, cool. I'm not gonna touch that fruit, guys.
Rod Ryan
They're great.
Alex
Give me the pineapple. Give me the grapes. Give me the others. Definitely not touching the cantaloupe or the honeydew.
Rod Ryan
Sweet tea,
Alex
but rocks.
Rod Ryan
Anything. Barbecue. See, I think I feel like you guys. Barbecue all year round. I think. And I do, too. I mean, you get to cook on the grill all year round around here. So, like, the grill, it's not like a special thing that it's just during the summer. That's kind of the. Oh, Anthony Cutlack, what do you do? I love you, Anthony. He said blt. Would you not have a blt, Reg? Would you. Is that a summer sandwich?
Alex
It's just a lunch sandwich.
Mo
Yeah, it happens all the time.
Alex
I'd have BLT in the middle of winter.
Rod Ryan
I just love that he mentioned blt, because I want one now.
Mo
I know that's all we're gonna be able to.
Alex
From the deli. I get the blt, like, once a week.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Not really specific to summer. Right.
Alex
I mean, it rocks in the summer. It hits. There's certain stuff that, like, hits in the summer, and then there's certain stuff that is. That is summer. I have this in the summer, and
Mo
I get, like, crisp lettuce on a blt.
Rod Ryan
I'll tell you. I'll tell you a summer sandwich, which I didn't eat growing up because I wasn't a fan, but in my house, because they were grown in the garden, tomato sandwiches were huge in my house. I know this was not. I know this makes you cringe.
Mo
It makes me want to throw up.
Rod Ryan
Tomato sandwiches, you pull a little mayo. Fresh. Yeah, yeah. On bread.
Alex
A little pepper.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, exactly.
Alex
That doesn't sound bad.
Rod Ryan
Tomato sandwiches were huge. I thought tomatoes were disgusting when I was a kid. I think that is. Is there a summer sandwich?
Alex
Anything that is. Buy a pool with chips in it.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, that's true. Anything by a pool.
Alex
Because I feel like anything. Anything near a pool you can kind of justify.
Mo
Like, this is what we do all summer.
Alex
I want to say sandwich, like summer sandwich season, but really, that's like, the school year is sandwich season for most people. So I can't really say that. For me, it feels like I just want to. I just want a house of sandwich from sitting my.
Mo
I don't want to get out of the pool.
Rod Ryan
Watermelon number one, corn on the cob, and very little hot dog. Comment Comments.
Mo
Really.
Rod Ryan
Very little Hot dog. Comments?
Alex
Dog.
Rod Ryan
Is that all year round?
Alex
Dude, it's a. It hits in the summer especially, but it can be year round.

If there's even just one person that thought that, boy, did they leave the window open for Euphoria to come back for one more season. It's absolutely done. Okay. But I think there's just people that love it so much that they're holding out hope. And I think the guy that behind the show, there's. You can go to the Looking at Girls blog page. But he's like, listen, no. Yeah, absolutely not happening. All of these kids became such huge stars. We can't afford them and they want to do other Things they don't want to be these characters anymore that they were when they were, you know, in high school.

Rod Ryan

Which I thought was. Was kind of a. A get back to the people that were hating on her.
Rod Ryan
Right. Did you think that? Because I looked at that post. I think I posted that yesterday.
Alex
She's also, like, naked with a snake on her in the post, too.
Rod Ryan
But she looked like art, though. It was. She didn't put it up. Like, slamming the series. It looked like she had fun doing it.
Alex
I know. I don't think she was slamming the series. I think she was slamming the people that were slamming her.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. For doing.
Alex
To do the job that she did.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. She was in some compromised situations in the finals. Well, in all the seasons, but all of it.

You got my protein, so stop putting protein in everything. Just let a brownie be a brownie. Does a pancake really need protein? Does a pop tart really need protein?
Alex
Do potato chips really need protein?
Rod Ryan
Just get some protein from chicken.
Alex
Arby.
Rod Ryan
I'm buying everything. Protein. I am. I'm on the protein crate. I just got done eating. Tell everybody. What do you see here?
Mo
Protein pretzels.
Rod Ryan
Protein pretzels.
Mo
25 grams of protein.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
6 net carbs.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. These are good, right?
Mo
I don't know. Are they?
Rod Ryan
They're a little carbonated.
Mo
Tastes like chalk.
Rod Ryan
They were a little. Did you end up getting these? Did I give you some of these?
Mo
You gave me the Dorito ones.
Rod Ryan
Legendary.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Is the brand.
Alex
Holy crap.
Rod Ryan
Hey, I couldn't get them on Amazon. I had to go to the legendary website and buy them directly from the manufacturer. The protein craze. I, I'm, I, I'm taking part in this. For God's sakes. I bought my kid muscle Mac.
Mo
No way. Why?
Rod Ryan
Kids get enough. Kids get enough protein in. In their everyday foods, and they don't need as much protein as we do. She likes it. It's the protein Mac and cheese. Okay.
Mo
I mean, I don't think it hurts.
Rod Ryan
My kid's gonna be jacked. The insatiable protein craze has. Has led to a shortage of whey protein right now.
Mo
You're joking.
Rod Ryan
Because protein is being put in absolutely everything.
Mo
Do you know what whey protein is? It's not like a naturally occurring thing, right? Like it doesn't grow. Oh, is that a dumb question?
Alex
No, it's spelled with an age.
Rod Ryan
You're asking a dumb person
Mo
like it's made. Like, why can't we make more whey protein derived from milk? Milk during the cheese making process. Oh, curds and whey.
Rod Ryan
Curds and whey. Yeah.
Mo
Really?
Rod Ryan
That makes sense to me. That makes sense to me.
Mo
Learn something every day.
Rod Ryan
It's not. It's just saying. They're saying there's a shortage of whey protein. Because everything is protein right now. I. Yeah, I'm a dummy. I buy this. Look at zero grams of sugar.
Mo
That probably cost you 13 for that little bag.
Rod Ryan
Carbs. 25 grams of protein. I am cheap.
Alex
Cheap.
Rod Ryan
I won't buy this stuff. That's super duper expensive. You like I turned you on to those chicken chips.
Mo
Like, those are expensive as crap.
Rod Ryan
Those are. So that's why you don't see me
Mo
having out at Costco yesterday and I almost texted you because I was angry.
Rod Ryan
What's the name of those?
Mo
Chicken.
Rod Ryan
But they're made of chicken and they're wild. They're protein.
Mo
W, I, L, D, E and I.
Rod Ryan
They're too expensive.
Mo
They're so freaking go. They're buffalo flavored.
Rod Ryan
I won't buy them because they're too expensive. Yeah, of course. You don't want to get your kids too much protein. Here comes the emails. All right. My kid's gonna be jacked. Don't worry about it. I'm putting protein in everything. Here we go. Here's another survey. This is where I got the idea to put the question up on our Facebook page. Survey shows Americans top summer treats. Summer treats separate from, I think, corn on the cob, chocolate, gummy candies and hard candy. Nothing screams summer there.
Mo
No.
Rod Ryan
When it comes to summer flavors, watermelon is number one, followed by strawberry and tropical people talking about their summer foods. I still. I want a blt.
Alex

Mo, I got a question for you. You're my authority on Willy's Grill and Ice House.
Mo
What's up, friend?
Rod Ryan
I got somebody that wants to help us out tomorrow. Frank Henderson writes in. Hey, Rod, I'd like to help out with the backpacks. Does the Willy's donation work from Brian, Texas?
Mo
Ooh, I will find out for you.
Rod Ryan
There's nine Willy's locations.
Mo
That nine Houston area locations.
Rod Ryan
That's the.
Mo
Okay, that is the zinger.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so it's gotta be one of
Mo
the nine so kind. They're so nice. So I'm just gonna ask him. Okay, and I'll let you know 100%. Email you back.
Rod Ryan
Brian's far.
Mo
Brian's far. That would not be one of my nine Houston area locations.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so that's my immediate answer. It's the nine that are here that are all kind of keyed to. To give us the 15% off. So you would have to order from one of the nine locations in the Houston area. It's a lot. There's a lot here. But yeah, tomorrow is the day that Willys is going to give back 15% of your total bill. Dine in take out. You gotta mention us though. You gotta. Hey, I'm with this Rod Ryan deal. You know, with the backpacks. They'll know exactly what you're talking about. They'll knock off the 15% even if you order for delivery. If you place the order through Willie's website. Rod Ryan is the code. All caps, one word. Rod Ryan. But obviously we want to drive you into the restaurants to get in there. So we're gonna go eat tomorrow. So thank you for asking that, but I. I could. I. I guess I can answer that. Brian's far. It's the nine Houston area locations. Alex, what do you know about Fetty Wap? Trap Queen?
Alex
It's one of my favorite songs.
Rod Ryan
You've mentioned this song before.
Alex
Everybody hating. We just call them fans, though. 1738, baby.
Rod Ryan
What is it about?
Alex
It is about.
Rod Ryan
What's a trap queen? Is it a stripper?
Alex
She's a girl. This man. The trap house where you keep your drugs.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
She's cooking up dope.
Rod Ryan
Okay, that's okay.
Alex
That's sensitive stuffing in the trap house. Treat his girl. Sometimes he goes and he buys her nice things like cars and jewelry to reward her.
Mo
That was a good explanation.
Alex
So helping him with the trap house.
Rod Ryan
So a principal at a school would not want to use a quote from this song writing in a kid's yearbook.
Alex
Now, it depends on the. The quote.
Rod Ryan
What's the quote?
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
Everybody hating. We just call fans.
Mo
Elementary school.
Rod Ryan
It is that line that you just said, let me tell you.
Mo
Oh, geez.
Rod Ryan
It's high school.
Mo
Okay. High school.
Rod Ryan
It's a. It's turned into a be of a Internet Internet debate. You can help me out. Is it cool? Is it inappropriate? The principal quoted Fetty Wap in a yearbook. A high school principal. Oh, it's in Florida. Katie o' Connell has been placed on administrative leaves.
Alex
Come on.
Rod Ryan
After the school's yearbooks were issued. On the first page, she allegedly quotes Trap Queen Fetty Wap, the song you're listening to right now from 2014. The quote looked like this quote. Everybody hating. We just call them fans, though. Ms. O'. Connell. End quote. It was typed out. She didn't write that in the kids yearbook. They put that in there. They put that in there as her quote. Now, principal says she didn't say this. She didn't write it. She didn't approve it.
Mo
The kids in the yearbook committee did it.
Rod Ryan
Now, the principal. Here's where she, the principal is presented with a draft of the yearbook. Before it's published, they gotta sign off on it. And she said she went through all of it. Did not see this. In the version that she saw, it was put in. It was put in afterwards. But it's right at the beginning, though. It's right to be. She would have saw it.
Alex
Or she just skimmed the middle and
Rod Ryan
then the very end, and she says, here's the tell. Okay. Quote, it says, Mrs. O'. Connell. All my students know. I've never been Mrs. O'.
Alex
Connell.
Rod Ryan
I'm Ms. O. Everyone knows her as Ms. O. The assistant principal is backing her up, saying she didn't see the quote in the draft either. Now it is sure. Shoot first, aim later in this world that we live in. So she's been placed on administrative leave until they can figure out what's going on. They're saying that she is on leave with pay for inappropriate conduct. And it sounds like her tenure at the school is over. Ms. O found out when someone sent her Facebook screenshots. And apparently some parents were freaking out about it. Now, I said, hit the strip club.
Alex
We'd be letting band go. I understand that if it said, see your pretty ass as soon as you walk in the door. Okay, I get that.
Rod Ryan
I knew. I knew I was asking the right guy.
Alex
I know everything. I said. He's got one eye contact.
Rod Ryan
About that again, the quote. Yeah, Everybody. Everybody hating. We just call them fans, though.
Alex
That used to be part of the Pasley Rabie intro.
Rod Ryan
I would say, see that in the yearbook from Mrs. O' Connell or Ms. O.
Mo
You would not know that was a lyric.
Rod Ryan
I wouldn't know where it came from, but isolated. There's nothing offensive about that quote. I don't care where it's saying, if
Alex
you're talking about us, you're loving on us.
Rod Ryan
I don't. That's what I'm saying. But if that's the quote, it doesn't matter where it came from. For me, for me as a parent, it doesn't matter where it came from. That particular quote.
Alex
Reasonable.
Rod Ryan
From that song. There's nothing wrong with it. The quote itself is not offensive.
Alex
Not at all. The song is actually about empowering.
Rod Ryan
And I imagine a lot of all the Fetty Wap lyrics, that one's probably the most passable.
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
Yeah. He's going, yeah.
Rod Ryan
So again, there's. I like Alex said, there's references of drugs and strippers, clubs, which is. None of that is kid friendly.
Alex
1738, that's Remy Martin's start date.
Rod Ryan
It is a Grammy nominated diamond certified rap song. This is not a fireable offense.
Alex
No, it's not.
Rod Ryan
No, it's not at all. Just my opinion. Just my opinion.
Alex
But if you're offended about it, you should be fired from your job or put it on administratively.
Rod Ryan
Now, is she covering. I hope she's not lying. If she did say that. If she did, I hope she. If she gets caught lying, then we got another problem on our hands. I don't think, I don't.
Alex
I don't think you'd be lying about it. You just.
Rod Ryan
She said that some kid put that in.
Alex
Yeah, Yeah. I think if you. If she put it there, she would have been like, yeah, this is a harmless quote.
Mo
Like, come on, I'm relating to my students.
Rod Ryan
But is that her out going, oh, I shouldn't have quoted Fetty Wap? I'm gonna say I didn't put that in there. That's the only problem that I would have. If she's lying.
Alex
I believe. I believe her.
Rod Ryan
I still don't think I'd fire her.
Alex
Yeah, I still. Regardless, I don't think it would have been a fireball offense. I shouldn't have been at least. But
Rod Ryan
wow.
Alex
There's a lot worse stuff going on, I feel like.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Than this.
Rod Ryan
And I'm not saying.
Alex
Shouldn't you be burning books instead? Right.
Rod Ryan
She is on administrative. Paid administrative leave right now.
Alex
She's gonna be going after To Kill a Mockingbird.
Rod Ryan
And she's the principal.
Mo
I bet she loves her kids.
Rod Ryan
She's the principal.
Mo
Probably like, I bet she's a good principal.
Rod Ryan
Relatable. The school year's over.
Alex
Just like let it go.
Rod Ryan
Oh, we're not even talking about. Did a kid do that?
Alex
Probably.
Rod Ryan
Did a kid do that?
Mo
I was on the yearbook.
Alex
Yeah, like you can do anything.
Mo
We would try to do some stuff.
Rod Ryan
You believe her that she didn't do that?
Alex
Yes, I do.
Mo
For some reason I do.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
I don't think she'd lie about it. All right.
Rod Ryan
I don't know if we'll get a follow up on this, but Mo, keep an eye on that story for all right. Just keep an eye on all things Florida. You never know what's going to happen over there.
Alex

It was a man frantic on the phone said he'd accidentally shot his girlfriend around 2pm yesterday.

A shirtless older man is wearing a kilt and, and some People are calling him a meth head.
Rod Ryan
He looks a little methy.
Mo
The guy doesn't like those words.
Rod Ryan
No.
Mo
In fact, he flips out and says, I'm a freaking electrician. I'll go out there and shut the whole place down. And then there's people challenging him. Do it. Employees got the guy to leave. Storms out, slams the door on the way, and within seconds, there's a click and the restaurant power goes out. Total blackout.

Rod Ryan
There's some laws that have been broken here.
Mo
Yes, most definitely.
Rod Ryan
Has he been identified? And is he in trouble?
Mo
Okay, is he really an electrician? Has he ever done meth, like, ever?
Rod Ryan
What if he becomes Haktua and he gets his own podcast?
Mo
The electricians sells his feet pics.
Rod Ryan
He is the kilted, shirtless electrician.
Mo
Taco Bell sponsors him.

Rod Ryan
I want. I want this to be a good story.
Mo
We need more. I'll follow up.
Rod Ryan

Swifties had a minute yesterday. Taylor Swift had that countdown clock the alley Alexa Toll's about. And it's now official. The countdown ended, and Taylor Swift is part of the Toy Story franchise. She wrote an original song for Toy Story 5 that comes out on Friday. The song is called I knew it. I knew you. And apparently the song is a return to Taylor's country roots. So we'll see. You know, they have that cowgirl Jessie in the Toy Story franchise, so apparently it's for her.
Rod Ryan
Your wife's one of the biggest Swifties I know. Like, what does this mean to her? It's like, is it exciting for her? Would she be up at midnight if it was released, that type of thing?
Alex
Probably not just for the song. It was like an album or something.
Rod Ryan
An album, Right. She knows about this, though, obviously.
Alex
I mean, how could you not?
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo
Moment for Emma.
Rod Ryan
So it's exciting.
Alex
I think it's okay.
Mo
Taylor released three collector's edition CDs single, an acoustic version and a piano version. Each had different artwork. And they sold out immediately for this.
Alex
Just like one song.
Mo
Yeah, sold out immediately.
Rod Ryan
There is nobody since the band Kiss that has bent their fans over.
Alex
Morgan Wallen, Drake.
Rod Ryan
Why do they release all the, like, merch like you said?
Alex
I know they all have cheers, Adam.
Rod Ryan
But Taylor Swift, almost, because it's so cult like, she will release 10 album covers and they'll have one little difference on them and people will go buy them. Them.
Mo
All of them.
Rod Ryan
Like, bend over.
Mo
Apparently, things a little heated during the Black Crow show in Tampa on Sunday night happened when a picture of the band's crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam appeared on the big screen. Some people in the audience started chanting, USA playing along like, okay, it's Uncle Sam.
Rod Ryan
The 250th birthday's coming up. Yeah. What's. What. What happened?
Mo
The lead singer was not thrilled. Who said, thanks for the geography lesson. I don't know what you have to be so proud of right now. So people started booing. They started leaving the show. And he said, for those of you booing us, some of us are not afraid and we are most assuredly not ignorant.
Alex
Once mentioned the gold medal hockey.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, that lead singer can be a bit of an asshole. But he seems like he's been cool. Cool though lately he's had. I mean, there's a reason the band was broke up for a long time
Mo
and I'm curious about the intentions of the mascot.
Alex
If you don't want. If you don't want USA anything, then just don't put that on the screen.
Rod Ryan
I would love for me to walk on stage and people scream USA.
Alex
That's pretty harmless.
Rod Ryan
Like what you're looking at me and saying USA We've got the video of
Mo
that also up on the blog page, but those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Maybe he's just having an off day.
Mo
Maybe.
Rod Ryan
Does. Does he apologize?
Alex
Probably not.
Rod Ryan
I don't think so. I don't think he does. All right, what do you got?
Alex
They always say crows don't ever forget a face. So he probably remembers everybody that was yelling USA too. So I always won't let him back in their.
Rod Ryan
He wants their money at the next show.
Alex
The Astros are back in action. Tonight they're going to open up a three game series with the Pirates at Dyke and Park.

Rod Ryan
They're playing like nobody thought we were going to be here.
Alex
Yeah, they fired their coach eight games before the end of the season and then went undefeated since that or until the playoffs. I think the, the Hurricanes are the favorite. I think the Golden Knights could sneak it out though. All right then in the NBA finals. That's going to start tomorrow night. We got these spurs taken on crap. Who are the spurs taking on? The Knicks. My bad. That's what's going on in sports.

Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
There. And how there are some adult drinks that involve Yoohoo as the basis of the, of the drink. Yoohoo was in fun facts today. Something that we do in homeroom. You got to get up early. I'm not going to get into everything that we do in the six o' clock hour. You should just be there for it. It's fun. But I said I find it odd that nobody adapted Yoo child drink. Although one guy says, dude, every day on the way home, home gets you. Who amazing like a Yoohoo. That's how he ends his day. He gets a Yoo Hoo and drives home and just that's it. Like I earned this today. I worked slave to the man drinking a Yoo Hoo. So it's not. So it's not a kid drink. But I thought it was odd like Yoo Hoo. Hal had said that he hadn't had one in 30 years. He was on. He was here with us this morning. Captain Cash and I said how has not, how has that not become a like some kind of a crazy drink? I can tell you right now, I'll bring that back around for next year's ditch day. Oh, maybe something Yoohoo based. Although sloppy Toppy was good.
Mo
It could have been Yoohoo based.
Rod Ryan
The sloppy Toppy reminded me a little of you. Adult Yoo Hoo.
Mo
It did.
Rod Ryan
It was good. Thank you to everybody that came out. The next thing that I'm going to have ask of you is to go eat tomorrow at any of the nine area Willie's grill and ice houses.

We are again raising money for backpacks, working with Houston children's charity to help deliver backpacks to kids across the Houston area that, you know, can't get the school supplies on their own. You guys know we've been doing this for a long, long time. Tomorrow is my ask. I'm going to really hit you hard tomorrow on this to remind you, but I want you to just pencil in if you, if you're like me and you don't go out to eat all that much and you were thinking about maybe doing it Today I'm like, can you wait till tomorrow to to get some amazing food from our friends at Willy's Grill and Ice House.

It could be.

Rod Ryan
What's number one?
Mo
Midland, Michigan, to retire. Number one.
Rod Ryan
Who the hell wants to freeze their ass off when they're done working.

Rod Ryan
Places to retire.
Mo
You just gotta drive a little bit north. And there we are.
Rod Ryan
And there is a Margaritaville in Woodlands.
Mo
Let's go check it out. If you like the puppy bowl, there will be a World cup version called World Pup. I know we've been talking a lot about the World cup and now we can add puppies to our list. Rod is most excited because there's also the Stanley Pup and I have information on all the puppies you can get. We've posted the videos and all the info up on the world famous Rod Ryan show page@thebuzz.com why's Dave roll trending?
Rod Ryan
Oh, what do you do now? Something good.
Mo
This is fine. He made a surprise appearance at one of his favorite bands. Final North American show. It was in LA over the weekend. Sepultura.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Mo
Did I say it right?
Rod Ryan
He's a huge fan.
Mo
Big fan. Been a vocal fan of the Brazilian metal band. He actually called one of their albums a record that shaped his own musical imagination. Okay, so big fan. But yeah, they did one of their final shows and he was there making a guest appearance and everyone was very excited to see him. We also have that video up on the music blog page. But those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
I heard a fun fact. We played a little bit of that Violet Grohl on Friday.
Mo
Oh, yeah.
Rod Ryan
Dave Grohl's daughter. She's first out of the gate out of this next generation of rock star kids.
Mo
He liked her.
Rod Ryan
I thought the song was really good. But I also heard on her album he's not in the band, but he does play drums on one of the songs.
Mo
Dad does?
Rod Ryan
No.
Mo
Who?
Rod Ryan
Taylor Hawkins. Hawkins son. Okay, so it's another Grohl Hawkins combo. Next generation. He plays drums on one of the songs on her album.
Alex
That's pretty cool.
Mo
Not necessarily in her band, but just like.
Rod Ryan
But he does play drums on one song on the track. Just like. Just like his dad played on her dad's albums. Pretty cool. That Violet Grohl song is really good. I like it a lot. Just. You gotta have to look. Look it up. I'm surprised we didn't get behind that. I think it could be played on this radio station. I think it's that good.
Mo
I'm on it.
Rod Ryan
What you got over there?
Alex
Astros are back in action tonight. They're going to open up a three game series with the Pirates at Dyken Park. Mike Burrows is going to be on the mound for the Stroz. Going up against Pittsburgh, Bubba Chandler first pitches at 7, 10. You can listen to the game on our sister Station Sports Talk 790 at the Women's College World Series.

Blackstone, Cherry, Buck Cherry. Those tickets coming up. Wolf Mother tickets on MOW the show. Both of these great shows going down at the House of Blues. Mo, you're like the expert now of Willie's Grill and Ice House. What should I eat tomorrow when I go there and eat? I'm gonna go. I don't know which location I'm gonna go to.
Mo
But you're going for dinner.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, I will go for dinner. Probably out there in Katy. Probably towards Chili's neck of the woods.
Mo
Are you feeling crawfish? Like one last chance?
Rod Ryan
No, no, no, no, no. And it's not that Willy's doesn't do great crawfish. I think I. I honest to God think I'm not going to make any friends doing this. Crawfish is the most overrated food of all time. Of all time. And I'm talking. I'm in the room with a guy that ate it for four years straight.
Alex
I'm just not going to argue with you on debate that.
Mo
It's a lot of work. I like, like the social aspect of it, but I don't like eating crawfish.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the things that people say, it's a lot of work for a little payoff, blah blah, all that stuff. I just feel like it's the most overrated rated food ever.
Mo
How about. Are you cool with peeling and eating shrimp?
Rod Ryan
Love shrimp.
Mo
Willy's does that. Really good.
Rod Ryan
Shrimp is a thousand times better than crawfish.
Mo
There's a lot more bang for your butt because the meat is a lot more.
Rod Ryan
Crab legs.
Mo
They have crab legs too.
Rod Ryan
Are better than lobster. No crab legs.
Mo
I don't know.
Rod Ryan
No crab legs.
Alex
You're just firing off.
Mo
I like both.
Rod Ryan
Better than lobster.
Mo
I like both.
Rod Ryan
I'm going to fight every everybody today.
Alex
Why not fire intakes and then while
Rod Ryan
I'm at it, you know my stance. Nobody likes oysters.
Mo
I love oysters.
Alex
Stir in the carrot cake. Oysters.
Mo
I love them.
Rod Ryan
Carrot cake's the greatest cake of all time. Just listen. You got to have some cakes. And all of mine are hotel dinner tomorrow. Willie's Grill and Ice House. We're asking you to go out and eat. Bring the family out there and you. They're going to. It was 15% off the total bill for the Rod Ryan Show Care Store. You got to tell them you're there for us. Hey Chili, did you get this up on links and guests? I'm sorry. We talked about it yesterday. Is it all explained? Yes, it's the first link right on the thank you links and guest right now. So. Cuz I think the tricky thing is
Mo
it's your face on there, Rod, when
Rod Ryan
you're on the website. Oh, great. Wow. Rod Ryan is the code. If you're ordering through Willie's website or using their app. It's all caps, R O D R Y a N. That would be the code. And then we'll get the 15 off of that order as well and we'll see what kind of money we can raise. Willie said, you know what? I'll give you the five grand. But if you do, if it comes out to six grand, you'll get that. If it comes out to seven grand, you'll get that. They're going to give us the five grand. But whatever we can do over that, it'll be ours. It'll be ours for the taking. So here we are again, raising money for backpacks, working with our friends over at Houston Children's Charity. Elizabeth, I'm calling you today. She's over at Houston Children's Charity for a short while longer. Anyway, I had a question for Mo. Is there a sub genre called post 911 country?
Mo
Never heard of that.
Rod Ryan
Did it get like hyper patriotic or something after 9 11? Maybe.
Alex
I don't know. The difference in Iraq, Remember that?
Rod Ryan
Yeah, but did the. Did country music really go all in on it? It.
Alex
I mean, was it Alan?
Mo
The whole world? I mean, the country.
Alex
I personally did.
Rod Ryan
Here's. This is where this came up. I. I took this off. I got this off the Internet. You can only listen to one type of music for an entire year. Okay, which do you choose? Now you are only getting their choices, which is difficult to me. Okay, let's hear post 911 country, which I just assume was some cheesy, hyper patriotic country music that came out courtesy
Alex
of the red, white and blues.
Mo
Kobe Keane.
Rod Ryan
Was that before or after 9 11?
Alex
Well, he's talking about the Taliban.
Mo
They used it.
Alex
Okay. Yeah, put a boot up your ass. It's the American way, dude.
Rod Ryan
Mumble rap, Christian death metal, or AI generated edm. These are horrible choices.
Mo
There's only one choice.
Alex
I think we gotta go courtesy the red, white and blue.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Give me tubes.
Mo
Long live.
Rod Ryan
I would have to go post 911 country.
Mo
Turn it up. Rob Ryan.
Alex
Faith, hope and love. God, the good things he gave us,
Rod Ryan
that's all you can listen to.
Alex
The greatest is love.
Mo
Where were you in the world? Stop turning.
Rod Ryan
29. 29 of people pick Christian death metal.
Mo
What does that mean?
Rod Ryan
It's just death metal. You can't.
Alex
Is that Easter?
Rod Ryan
They're cookie monsters. Yeah, right. And then they're just singing about the Lord. Believe it. It's a thing.
Alex
Was Creed. Creed considered metal ever? No, they're metal adjacent. Because then you could listen to Creed on.
Rod Ryan
No, they did. They did run a line between alternative and hard rock. Never metal, hard rock, Christian. Well, yeah. So when people were given those four choices, 29 of people picked Christian death metal. That won, 25 picked mumble rap. 24, pick post 911 country in 20% 22 said AI generated EDM.
Alex
Sounds like a lot of people forgot about 9 11, huh?
Mo
Yeah, I never forget.
Alex
I didn't ever forget.
Rod Ryan
It'd be awesome to give me a choice that I did, like, listen to for an entire year. But I guess the point is. Okay, what is tool?
Alex
What? It was just tool. I would pick still country911.
Rod Ryan
One year of mumble rap or tool
Alex
mumble rap in a second. I don't want to understand one word.
Rod Ryan
Okay. AI generated Edmund or tool Alex. AI generated edm.
Mo
Dang.
Rod Ryan
I'd probably.
Alex
I'd probably go AI over tool just to hope that they could cancel out tool.
Rod Ryan
It's not worse all day.
Alex
Probably the same thing. Yeah. I could make tool. You don't put words and stuff.
Mo
That's a new level of hate.
Rod Ryan
All right, give away some tickets, please.

Rod Ryan
New Delhi.
Mo
New Delhi.
Alex
No, it's Agra. Everybody knows it.
Rod Ryan
Everybody knows.
Alex
Sometimes I think you know nothing about New Delhi. I always tell you that. What about the Hagia Sophia, which I obviously know, but I'm making sure you guys know. Is that in Cairo, Athens, Jerusalem, or Istanbul?
Rod Ryan
Istanbul it is, formally formerly Constantinople.
Alex
Constantinople.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex

Rod Ryan
5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Still to come, Wolf Mother tickets on another great House of Blues Show, June 8th. We'll have tickets for you on Mow the Show. 30 chance of isolated thunderstorms today, 50 chance of scattered thunderstorms later on this evening. This can't be true. And I get it. It's not Just because it's not true in my situation, I'm like, okay, well, I don't do this. It can't be anybody.
Mo
I'm scared.
Rod Ryan
42% of U.S. adults still rely on their parents for financial support. Now, I got breakdowns here. And that's what's freaking me out a little bit.
Mo
Okay, let's hear.
Rod Ryan
So the overall number at this point right now, as. As we're closer to the 250th anniversary of America's independence, let's talk about how independent people really are financially. 42% of US adults still depend on their parents for financial support. Half of millennials, 53%. A third of Gen X, 72% of Gen Zers. And believe it or not, 17% of baby boomers still feel financially dependent on their parents. How? I just don't have it. I don't have it. I'm not financially dependent on my parents at all.
Mo
When were you, like, cut off? Like, after college?
Rod Ryan
Like sixth grade?
Mo
No, you Live with your parents. Right.
Rod Ryan
I had a paper route. I was kind of.
Alex
Financially dependent. Count like things like if you're living at home, that's being financially dependent because you're not paying for rent. I consider myself financially dependent on my parents because I would have to have several jobs if I had to pay for daycare.
Mo
Yep, that's what I was gonna say myself as well.
Alex
Like free daycare is. You can put a number on it, but it's a pretty high number.
Mo
It's insane.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so let's look at. Okay, so is making me understand some numbers then. Your mom watching the kids. That's worth a ton of money.
Alex
I'd be waiting tables outside of. I, I would leave here and go to another job if I had to pay for daycare.
Rod Ryan
I know that to be true. Daycare is so expensive.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
So that would count as financial support from your parents.
Alex
I think that's, that's, that's them providing a service that would be exchanged for money if it was not at my parents or my in laws.
Rod Ryan
Okay. So that makes sense to me.
Alex
And then if you live in with your parents, that's like you could be pushed out and have to pay rent on your own. Free rent is. If you're paying rent at your parents, maybe it's different, but you're still having.
Rod Ryan
What about somebody in their 30s that still is floating by on their parents cell phone bill? I think, I think there's a lot
Alex
of people that do that. It's likely to do that. But you can pay the parents.
Rod Ryan
Parents.
Alex
If you're, if you're grandfathered in.
Mo
The family plan is so much cheaper.
Alex
There's a lot of them that like you get grandfathered in. Like they won't change it unless like you can't get out of it and then still get something similar. So you're like, what if I just send you money every month and then we just don't change that.
Rod Ryan
Do you have to be completely out to be considered financially independent? Do you have to be severed from every single thing up to and including stuff like that?
Alex
I think that's not, that's being financially independent. If your parents are paying for. I even think like my parents pay for Netflix. I use their Netflix. That's me being financially dependent on my parents.
Rod Ryan
What's the number of parents dependent on their kids? I would get involved in that one.
Mo
Yeah, it starts. It definitely flips.
Alex
Yeah, I think it does flip at a certain point.
Rod Ryan
It completely switches later on in life
Mo
and we're going out to dinner and I'm picking up the bill, like stuff like that.
Rod Ryan
So when, when it says 70%, 17% of baby boomers still feel financially dependent on their parents. There's baby boomers that are still living with their parents or like maybe moved back in.
Mo
Move back in?
Alex
Yeah, maybe if you move into your parents house, you're a boomer and it's just your house then at that point
Rod Ryan
and you're on your 95 year old mom's cell phone bill, you got to, you got to get off the teat.
Alex
If your parents sold you their, their family home for a very discounted rate, would that be sort of being financial financially
Rod Ryan
price on a house? Oh yeah.
Alex
40 bills.
Rod Ryan
I mean it's one thing I remember I was living with somebody and their grandma would send them money in an envelope every week to go do laundry, you know, and she put change in there. She put like a couple dollar bills and change in there. She goes, goes and every, this is so you could go and do laundry. Need a quarter. You're not dependent on that?
Mo
No, you're not.
Rod Ryan
You know, that's just little extra there.
Mo
That, that's just grandmas being grandmas.
Rod Ryan
42% of US adults still rely on their parents or financial support. The other flip side of this is I'm looking at some parents here in the room. It never ends.
Mo
Yeah, right.
Rod Ryan
It never ends.
Mo
We're never retired.
Rod Ryan
You just think that there's this 18, okay, I got, I gotta just get them both to 18 and then boom, I'm free and clear. Never. Never. I just gave you these numbers that there's always going to be something. It never, it shuts off. You guys got involved. Me too. You got involved in a game. There's no finish line. There's no finish line. Never.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Five minutes of fun. Alec, Alex.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Two times. Five minutes of fun.
Alex
Every day there's fun with, with these, these little ones.
Mo
I'm not in that stage of life.
Rod Ryan
What stage?
Mo
Every day is fun.
Alex
I mean a lot of it is not always fun but like you always, you gotta find the fun moments and everything.
Rod Ryan
I just told you, I almost cried yesterday. Legend said she saw the, the promo for the, the Stanley Cup. She goes, listen, I know the Sabers aren't in it. Are we still gonna watch some of that?
Mo
So sweet.
Rod Ryan
I'm like, yes, what do you want? I'm gonna put you on my cell phone plan for the rest of your life.
Alex
I showed my daughter Odell Beckham Jr yesterday making a one handed catch and she said that's cool.
Mo
No, yeah, right?
Rod Ryan
It is cool. Like, okay, five minutes of fun was worth it.
Alex
That is cool.
Rod Ryan
So worth it.
Alex
Weekday radio with a weekend state of mind. The Rod ryan show on 945 the buzz 94.
Rod Ryan
5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Just took a glance at what you guys have been kind of chatting about on our Facebook page all morning long. My question was, what food says summer to you? I like the guy that said, nothing hits harder than a perfectly chilled beer after mowing the lawn.
Mo
Oh, that's such a dad answer.
Rod Ryan
We kind of mow almost all year round around here. We get a couple months off. But that's the summertime thing, right?
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Like, you mow the lawn, you're doing yard work, and you crack a beer. I feel like a man. I love it. I feel like a man. That's what Andy Dufresne wanted for his guys.
Alex
I asked for when they did the roof work.
Rod Ryan
Andy, you really got to watch the movies from time to time.
Mo
One's this one.
Rod Ryan
Shawshank Redemption.
Mo
Shaw.
Rod Ryan
Shawshank Redemption.
Mo
Boys on tv, they're out there.
Rod Ryan
They're working on a roof. And he's like, listen, I need some beers for my men. These are incarcerated guys.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And he works the deal where they're out working, and number one, they're out in the sunshine. They're working hard, hard work. But they feel like. They feel like free men again. And then they get to sit there and drink a beer.
Mo
Are the bad guys on the roof?
Rod Ryan
Roof? Well, they're in jail. They're in jail. Andy Dufresne was innocent. Everyone says they're innocent, but he really was innocent. Spoiler alert. I didn't feel much about Andy when I first saw him.
Mo
I already watched one movie you told me to watch.
Rod Ryan
Okay, you did watch Taking Chance, and you didn't cry.
Alex
Oh, she never cries.
Rod Ryan
She will not cry.
Alex
She's never felt an emotion once.
Mo
That's true.
Rod Ryan
If someone said to you, mo, when you got the job with the Rod Ryan show, I can only imagine what your friends said.
Mo
There is a lot of comments.
Rod Ryan
What if they said, it's all downhill from here?
Mo
Oh, my gosh.
Rod Ryan
Now, would that be a negative thing or a positive thing?
Mo
It's all downhill.
Alex
Ugh.
Rod Ryan
You're at the Rod Ryan Show.
Mo
No, no, no.
Rod Ryan
It's all downhill from here.
Mo
No, no, no, no, no. Peaking is good. So if it's all downhill from here. I don't take that as a diss.
Rod Ryan
All right. You graduate college.
Mo
Yes.
Alex
And you're.
Rod Ryan
And your aunt Tilly says, well, it's all downhill from here.
Mo
That's also kind of true.
Rod Ryan
Is that good or bad?
Mo
Both.
Rod Ryan
Okay. You're riding your bicycle.
Mo
Huh?
Rod Ryan
And it's just like, God, you're going up, up, up. And then somebody says, hey, it's all downhill for. From here. That's good.
Mo
That's good.
Rod Ryan
That's a good thing. You're on a hike.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
You're hiking. You're in this hot sun, and you're hiking. You're hiking.
Mo
And then idea was this.
Rod Ryan
And then someone finally says, hey, it's all downhill from here. That's good.
Mo
That's good. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
But generally speaking, it's all downhill from here is bad.
Mo
I don't know if I would generalize that.
Rod Ryan
I would think until I just did those scenarios. I think I always.
Alex
The hardest part's over.
Rod Ryan
I think I always felt you're just chilling.
Mo
It's good. It's all downhill from here. Just chill.
Rod Ryan
Okay. New management comes in. It's all downhill from here.
Mo
That's bad. That's bad.
Rod Ryan
Hey, we're doing a new thing. Oh. We got this new AI set up ready to go. It's all downhill from here.
Alex
Here's a new bonus structure. It's all downhill for me.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Is it more. Is it more a negative than a positive? Maybe.
Mo
Maybe.
Rod Ryan
You got to decide which one. Is it more?
Mo
It's. It might be more negative.
Alex
What was New Found Glory singing about?
Rod Ryan
I always thought that it was a negative.
Mo
Okay. Why are you talking about?
Rod Ryan
Oh, it went, you know, like. It went downhill after that. The place went downhill after that. But going downhill is good. Yeah, but I. But only when you're on a bicycle or a hike. It's all downhill from here. You're on the Rob Ryan show.
Mo
You peaked in life.
Alex
It was bad in the Newfound Glory song. So I guess I'll have to go with that.
Rod Ryan
Wait, wait. Tell me about that.
Mo
Yeah, tell me.
Alex
All down here. All downhill from here.
Rod Ryan
It's bad. Yeah.
Alex
Refers to toxic, draining relationships. So you get to the good part, and then. And there's nothing good after that. To me, I always thought, it's all downhill from here. It's like we got past the hardest part. Let's go.
Rod Ryan
It's all downhill from here. I feel like things are getting worse, and I feel like we've been doing it wrong, that I've been. I've been thinking about it the wrong way. My entire life is a glass half full situation. My entire life, I thought going downhill was a bad thing.
Alex
I thought that it can be.
Rod Ryan
I thought it was meant that it was getting worse. I have to look at the whole world with a new lens starting today. Okay.
Mo
Happy Tuesday.
Rod Ryan
We are opening up your mind.
Alex
It's like saying it's all uphill from here. The only way to go is. The only way you can go from here is up.
Rod Ryan
That means you're in the Esser.
Alex
It's gonna suck because you gotta go uphill. Nobody wants to go uphill, but if
Rod Ryan
you're in the toilet, you're at the bottom.
Alex
There's nowhere else to go but up.
Mo
Yeah.
Alex
I'm saying about the giant for like 10 years.
Rod Ryan
That's somebody that's throwing out a filler that doesn't care about you at all. Doesn't care about your situation. It could only get better. That's like my neighbor.
Alex
You could be lit on fire and it could get way worse.
Mo
You're right.
Rod Ryan
When I was going through my divorce.
Mo
Oh, no.
Rod Ryan
My neighbor would just keep saying it's gotta get better. Right? I said, if you say that to me one more time, it's just not getting better. If you say that to me one more time, I am gonna throw a can of paint at your house. Okay. It's gotta get better. No, but it's all downhill from here. That's what I want you. That's your homework today.
Mo
Okay? Dwell on it.
Rod Ryan
I want you to try it out in different situations. What does it mean? More, better or worse? Just go ahead, take it out there. Here, put it in your hands. Play with it a little bit. Yeah, put it in your hands. Play with it.
Alex
Now it's broken my brain cuz I don't know how to look at it.
Rod Ryan
Get it between your fingers.
Mo
Okay, Talk though.
Rod Ryan
