Transcript

[A]

Sam. Okay, come on. All right, let's go, let's go. Good morning. This is Ed McMahon. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's Rod Ryan. Okay, what did I get myself into here? Let's go. Yeah. Happy hump day. Smack dab in the middle of the week. Rod Ryan show checking in. Wild Cardinal Wednesday. And there it is. I'm looking at it right now. The Rod Ryan Show Cares online store. It is open. Today is a match day. I personally am putting up $10,000 if you guys want to go in there and try to match that in our store. So we're going to be talking about that throughout the morning. Why is the carpet wet? Todd? Back in the fresh out of bed. Head to head. 620. We'll get into that buzz a ween. Tickets. 311 Dirty Heads tickets. Breaking Benjamin tickets. My goodness. Busy morning mostly. CL only a 20% chance of rain. Highs of around 90mo. What did I get myself into here?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Good Lord.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

But here we are flapping and then I just can't take it back. Good morning. What do you got in Houston's headlines?

[B]

Good morning. So Iran launched attacks on US bases in the Middle East. They claimed it is in response to US strikes on them. But those strikes were announced as retaliation for the downing of that Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz that we learned about. There are also reports of Iranian attacks in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait. This all comes a day after Trump suggested that a peace deal with Iran could be possible within the next two or three days.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

A Texas jury found 19 year old Carmelo Anthony guilty of murder yesterday and the Fatal stabbing of 17 year old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco last April. The jury deliberated for three and a half hours before returning a unanimous verdict. They sentenced him to 35 years in prison. So we've been waiting for a long time to say that. The World cup starts tomorrow.

[A]

Here we go.

[B]

We've kind of seen Houston just transform in anticipation for all of these events.

[A]

Alex, put away your vuvuzela. They're not allowed. Put away this vuvuzela. I don't want to hear it.

[B]

Mexico takes on South Africa in Mexico City tomorrow. The United States men's national team plays Friday. Is that correct?

[C]

Paraguay?

[B]

Okay. Having previously hosted in 1994, the US is hoping that this time around they can show a positive showing on their home soil and kind of push popularity of the team and the sport. They're saying the team has Been better than ever. And they just hope that US soccer can prove to the rest of the world that they are what they know they are. No pressure. Matt Damon wants you to know he is now a rapper called no Match. Is this a midlife crisis, maybe? All part of a campaign for his charity, water.org. you've heard him. He brings clean water to people around the world who need it. So we have some major brands that are backing this new effort of his. Starbucks, Gap, and Amazon. But let's be clear, this is not 100% serious. He said music and humor are two of the best ways to cut through in culture. So obviously, those are two places that we're trying to focus on. Matt Damon, the rapper called Nomad. Nomad is Damon spelled backwards.

[A]

Here we go. A little bit. Whoa. Yeah. How's my distance with the.

[C]

It's all good.

[A]

Do we do the ad libs now or do we do them after? Here we go. Buy yourself a bevy. A shirt, a song. Five bucks can change the world. You can't go wrong. Man, I am not good at this. Good for him.

[B]

It's funny. And then let's talk about Machine Gun Kelly, because he's speaking out about those Blackout tattoos that he debuted back in April of 2024. Covered the majority of his arms, chest, stomach, in black ink. Well, apparently when he was getting it done, he got so sick that his skin turned yellow. He said after the first week of the process, they had hit some lymph nodes around his armpits and his shoulders, and that's what really did it for him. Wasn't sleeping, couldn't move parts of his upper body. He went a little hard. So if you're thinking about doing this, he did it in just two months, even though artists would recommend doing it. Stretching it out over two years.

[A]

Yeah, he. I mean, I can't imagine the pain.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Can you imagine that you got tattoos straight out? Blackout.

[C]

Yeah. Probably isn't fun.

[A]

Oh, it's got to be brutal.

[B]

Not recommending it, but those are Houston deadlines.

[A]

Take it, Alex.

[C]

Astros lost to the angels last night 10 to 1. They're gonna play them again tonight. Peter Lambert is going to be on the mound for the Strobes. He'll be going up against LA's Reed Detmer's first pitch is at 8:38. You can listen to the game on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. In hockey, the Hurricanes beat the Golden Knights 53 in game for the Stanley cup final. To even that series up at two games a piece, they're gonna play game five tomorrow night. And tonight the Knicks are gonna host the spurs for game four of the NBA finals. Knicks are up 2:1 in that series. They're two and a half point favorites heading into tonight's game.

Yeah, the ball cap is ready to go. So there's a brand new hat, water bottle, koozies, new T shirts, all your summer gear, everything is up there. Why do we do this? Because we're trying to raise money so that we can purchase backpacks for kids here in the Houston area. Not just backpacks, but you gotta, you gotta kick me every time I say it. Full of school supplies. That's where it's getting expensive. Now. Everything is more expensive. I don't need to explain that. But we love our teachers. We know how much teachers, ask anybody, ask any teacher how much money out of their own pocket that they're spending for things in their classroom and helping out kids that don't have the things that they need to start out the school year. And it's like, oh, okay. They've always got extra things to give the kids, kids just want to fit in. So we're buying backpacks full of school supplies. We're working again with Houston children's charity. And then I guess the other thing today is with the grand opening of the store, it's a match day. I personally am putting up $10,000. How does that work?

That's it.

[A]

It's the highest building in the whole state. Finally, Jurassic Park. Was there anything more terrifying than those raptors and that noise you heard when they were out there hunting you?

Fun fact. Flashback. What was the famous philosopher's name who made all his money in the 1700s when he realized that the jackpot for the French lottery was more than the cost of buying every single ticket? So he bought all the tickets and then won the jackpot, which he won the equivalent of tens of millions of dollars today. What was that French philosopher's name? 713-212. 5945.

His name was Voltaire. Yeah, you know what? And then the other thing I learned yesterday on the show because I learned about this Alex. Big Voltaire guy. Yeah, big. Oh yeah, you know me. Nice. If you know me, I'm a big Voltaire guy.

[B]

That's now, you know, I think I

[C]

heard him more of a Socrates guy. But Voltaire would be a close second.

[A]

Okay, Mark, you win.

[B]

What are you giving him 100 gift card for the Republic. Dude, he heard about the cornbread.

[A]

Dude, the cornbread. I tell everybody, just buy a hundred bucks worth of cornbread. It'll be the best hundred dollars you ever spent in your life. I don't doubt it. That's awesome. Thank you. Yeah, you're gonna love it, dude. The Republic grill, man. Have a great time. Hang on for me. Thank you, everybody in homeroom. Thank you for hanging out with us.

Thank you, everybody. I'm willing to match your donations and purchases. I am going to personally match you guys up to $10,000 today if we can get there. Unbelievable. If you ding me for six grand, okay, great. If you dig me for seven, eight, whatever. I'm in for ten. Mostly cloudy today. 20% chance of rain. Highs of around 90. Hey, Mo.

[B]

Hey, Rod.

[A]

What you got in Houston's headlines?

[B]

Well, Iran has launched attacks on US Bases in the Middle East. They're claiming a in response to US Strikes on Iran. But those US Strikes were announced as retaliation for that Apache helicopter downing over the Strait of Hormuz. There are also reports of Iranian attacks on sites in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait as well. And this all comes a day after Trump suggested that a peace deal with Iran could be possible within the next two or three days. Lots of trash talk this morning in Houston. I mean, the Houston City Council, they're set to vote that potential $5 trash fee for residents.

[A]

Yeah, but it starts at 5. Doesn't it go up exponentially?

[B]

They don't know yet. That is the argument. That is one side's argument. So today they're potentially voting on the next budget. And one of the biggest debates is whether they're going to implement this fee. If approved, it's going to be added to your water bill. If you're getting Houston trash service.

[A]

That's like my worst bill right now. What the hell is going on?

[B]

Throw a little extra five bucks in there.

[A]

My water bill is ridiculous. What am. I feel like I'm, I'm paying the water bill at Energy Stadium at my house. I feel like they got me tapped into that line. And then I drive by and I see, I take my kid to gymnastics and they're doing some work over there by mkt. The market off of Shepherd. There is a. I don't know, there's like a water line right there and

[B]

it's just spewing everywhere.

[A]

It's just.

[B]

I'm like, it's very Houston of them.

[A]

I'm looking at that. I'm like, that's a million dollars in water right there. That's coming out of that fire hydrant. There's a million dollars in water coming out of that thing. I feel like I'm hooked up to that line.

[B]

Here we are.

[A]

What's going on?

[B]

Let me cheer you up, Rod. There's a rare apple in New Zealand that has people looking at it like it's a museum.

[A]

An apple.

[B]

An apple produce. I'm probably saying this wrong because I'm not an apple connoisseur, but it's a chimera apple. Chimera, half red, half yellow. And you're thinking, I've seen apples that are two toned. No, this is split perfectly down the middle. The grocery store, New Zealand produce market, whatever, was just open in deliveries last month. And the owner was like, people now have made us a spectacle. They'll go home, tell their other half, and then they come back to take pictures of it.

[A]

They don't buy it.

[B]

Chimera apples are believed to occur in less than one in a million fruits. It's a genetic mutation.

[A]

My friend had hamsters when he was a kid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And there was a reward for breeding a white and a black hamster and trying to come up with like a Pamster, like a panda colored one. You get extra like, did they breed this apple? I don't know is what I'm asking.

[B]

You're claiming that they didn't. I'm assuming they could though, right?

[A]

Cross pollination.

[B]

I mean, I'm buying some weird cross pollinated fruits these days, so I don't know. This is rare.

[A]

Cool story.

[B]

Even better. I'm going to talk about colonoscopy parties. So listen up, Rod.

[A]

Slow news day.

[B]

Tom Hanks and Martin Shore and Steve Martin.

[A]

Oh, I heard about this.

[B]

Pals. They get together the night before the colonoscopies and they compete to be the last one to use the bathroom.

[C]

They all schedule them the same day.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know you have to drink that nasty stuff to clear out your system before you, you do the colonoscopy.

[A]

Go lightly.

[B]

So the three of them sit around, they eat jello, they play cards, and they fight. And in case you were very curious, Tom Hanks told Jimmy Kimmel that he is the strongest when it comes to holding it in because he has a, quote, colon of iron Now.

[A]

You know, it's all fun. They're creating awareness. Those guys do it. Everyone's got to go do it. You got to get your fanny trick.

[B]

I also like to think of them hanging out. Like, that's got to be fun, right?

[A]

Yeah. Can you imagine the room with those three dudes? Yeah, that's funny.

[B]

Jack White, kind of a casual guy taking a. What I'm reading is a stealth approach that he usually does approaching his new album. So he quietly put up a new one called Frozen Charlotte. It's a vinyl. You can pre order it on his web store. No press release. No one's really talking about it until now. And you don't really have to wait. If you order it, it's going to ship July 10th. New music. Jack White,

[A]

your friend Alex, is he excited about this big Chipotle guy? Okay, Big, big Voltaire guy. Voltaire and huge Jack White guy. This is big news.

[B]

Are you pumped? Did you know? Am I the first one to tell you this?

[C]

Yeah, you are.

[B]

You're a liar. North American tour dates are on the way. Okay, Alex. Jack White. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Take it, Alex.

[C]

[B]

Do you want to talk about it?

[A]

I do want to share it with you, Mo. Gotta take care of a little business though, first. I got 706. What are we doing this hour? I got three 11 dirty head sticks coming up for you. Maybe. Still got to do a regular. This isn't a telethon, it's a radio show. So I got some great tickets coming your way. Got another key word coming up at 8 o' clock that you're going to [e-mail] to win that $2500. We want to give things away. I don't want to keep asking you guys for money. I want to give things to you. So concert tickets coming up at 7:20 a chance and all the the information you need to get a part of that $250,000 that our company's giving away. Buzzaween tickets at 820. But now the business. Now the business at hand. What is today? Wednesday. I made a video yesterday and put it up on our Facebook page explaining that I was hoping to have a sponsor in today and things just didn't happen. So with the debut of the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store, I wanted to do something big. Had a sponsorship fall through, which we got great sponsors lined up throughout the summer. I mean some of our, our favorites are all going to come in and help us out and help us raise money for backpacks throughout the summer. But the one that I had lined up for today didn't work out. Like what am I going to do? Stores opening up. I want to do something big. Just do it. So I opened up my mouth yesterday and I said, I said I will put up.

[B]

You said it live on the radio.

[A]

I said what? I go, I'll put up.

[B]

I said, you want to talk about this first? No.

[A]

And there's no take backs. And if you guys do that, then I'll put up one more time $10,000

[B]

loud and clear out of my pocket.

[A]

I'll put up $10,000. It'll all be documented. 10,000. I will put in the $10,000. I'm waiting to see what you guys do in the store today. It's one of our match days. I'm willing to put up up to $10,000 if you guys can go in there and do some damage. In the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store, meaning the over $4,000 that Homeroom donated already.

[B]

Stop.

[A]

Homeroom. Homeroom is in for over four grand. I owe $4,000. Match that.

[B]

That's amazing. Are you okay? I knew I should have brought. Can you get that tequila over there?

[A]

I am choking over here. Oh, it's our old friend's caddy cartel. Okay, none of these things come in the backpacks, please. It's School supplies. Insane. In my co. In my T shirts, in my sexy pair of panties for the girls. In my nine toys, in my tickets, in my.

[B]

That's awesome.

[A]

That's. That's a full grown adult now at the end of that song. That song is so old. Thank you so much. Wow. That first hour of the show, over $4,000. Dead Deb and Joe, everybody at BMP, they're kind of keeping me up on what's going on in the store. Over four grand. That's huge. That's. That's massive. Thank you so much. So we're raising this money to try to buy backpacks. Not with that stuff in there in the song. No, I appreciate the song. I love it. But with school supplies, and we're gonna work again with Houston children's charity, and we'll do the backpack distribution day, and we pass out the backpack to the kids. And, you know, there's just a lot of families out here that don't have the money, and it's. It's getting worse just because everything's more expensive. So that means it's more expensive for us to buy the backpacks and to fill them with the school supplies, which is why I'm throwing up this hail Mary of, like, okay, just to prove to you guys that I'm in this with you, I'm putting up $10,000 today of my money, and I will match every dollar you spend or donate in the Rod Ryan show. Cares online store boy. Lots of stuff. How about this? Rod and gang, thanks for making the mornings better every day. Longtime listener since around 2007. I first logged on to see what you guys looked like when Alex got choked out by Tito Ortiz.

[A]

Thank you, Alex. You getting choked out by Tito Ortiz

[B]

kept him coming back.

[A]

He was listening for a while. Then he goes, let me see what these. Let me see what these idiots look like. And then now he's a, you know, a frequent visitor of the website. But that's funny. You know, I listen to the radio like, you guys, I don't know what people look like on the radio. And then every now and then, I'll go, you know what? I want to see what that is.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. And then you're like, oh, that's why they're on radio.

[B]

Not look like what they sound like.

[A]

That's why you're on the radio. Thank you. Thank you. Very, very generous of you guys so far. Thank you to everybody at bmp. Let's keep it rolling. Let's keep this train rolling. I imagine there's people hearing this for the first time, man. I'll match up to $10,000 of all sales and donations in the Rod Ryan show cares online store.

[C]

Well, Taylor Swift is trending. She surprised fans at the Toy Story 5 premiere. They say it's a surprise red carpet appearance. If you're like the title song of the movie. Is that a surprise?

[A]

Well, they didn't announce that she was going to be there. Right.

[C]

Again, if Randy Newman showed up at the Toy Story 5 premiere, would we be like, what? Well, how did you get here?

[A]

Randy Newman and Taylor Swift pretty much the same.

[C]

I mean, he walks so she could

[A]

fly different ballparks there. But she brought a VHS copy of Toy Story and had the, the cast sign it for her.

[B]

Cool.

[A]

So she's a fan. She's.

[C]

How did you not be a fan? If you're born in like 85 or since then, you've got to be a Toy Story fan, right?

[A]

Yeah. It's not my kid's favorite franchise.

[C]

She's a little young.

[A]

Trying to get her into it.

[C]

It rocks.

[A]

We're gonna watch a couple of them to get ready for the 5 the Premiere. Is there anybody that hates Toy Story?

[B]

I don't hate it.

[C]

I don't think there can be anybody that can say they hate toys.

[A]

Do not like it.

[B]

I don't not like it. I just am not like, wow, this is awesome. I want to watch five of them.

[A]

They are good.

[C]

Actually. Love island is trending. I don't know what happened at the villa. People are talking about Love Island. I think they bring in people and then they kick people out. But that's, that's hot in the Streets right now, this morning. And then Lionel Messi is trending. He scored in Argentina's final World cup tune up game last night against Iceland. They played at Auburn's football stadium. They played at Kyle Field earlier this, this past weekend. It's just hilarious seeing Europeans and like, like the Argentinians. They have big stadiums there. But just being like, what is this sec like that you're talking about that we're just packing people in this big ass stadium. But a Kyle Field and Auburn, it's pretty awesome. So, so cool. This is training at night for the Buzz.

[B]

Iced tea.

[A]

Now you went out of your way to go iced tea. You went because you knew. You knew I was checking out what you were saying over there. Do you take the time to say iced tea?

[B]

No, absolutely not. There's no time.

[A]

That's why I'm talking about the rapper.

[C]

Anyway, so.

[A]

Well, we could. We could talk about gangster.

[B]

That's what I was talking about.

[A]

I C E dash T. Huh? Poll question this morning. What is it? Iced tea, Iced tea or what you're listening to right now? Iced tea.

[B]

That's funny.

[A]

You're correct if you just call it iced tea.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

You're all right. According to the dictionary, both are fine.

[C]

It's like ice water. You don't say iced water.

[A]

Oh, well, you're supposed to. As a matter of fact. As a matter of fact, it used to be iced cream.

[C]

I've heard that and I always.

[A]

You would not be wrong if you called it iced cream. We've gotten lazy over the years, okay? And shocking lazy and just more common in speaking English. I mean, you ever Heard like. Like a proper. Like somebody from BR. Written Dog. We have destroyed the. We have destroyed this English language.

[C]

We made it better.

[A]

So it just takes a little bit to enunciate that extra letter. And it kind of went away over time. Ice cream was originally iced cream, but it just. It just sounds odd when you do that. So we just got a little lazy. And the default spelling. Ice cream. Same thing happened with. It's not a box set. It's a boxed set. See what we did over the years?

[B]

Yeah. Just getting lazier.

[A]

Skim milk.

[B]

What was that?

[A]

Skimmed milk. It's skimmed milk. That's what they've done to it. It. Skimmed milk. Wax paper. Wax paper is what it is. Whipped cream.

[B]

What's that?

[A]

Whipped cream. Whipped cream.

[B]

So freaking me out.

[A]

So the same thing seems to be happening to iced tea right now. Poll question. OG iced tea is doing pretty good at 18 on this National Iced Tea Day. 54 of you say iced tea. 27 say iced tea. You don't really. No, I. I don't. I can't imagine 57 of our audience really does take the time to go the iced tea.

[B]

Unless they're just being a smart aleck.

[A]

You wouldn't be a smart aleck on National Iced Tea Day, would you?

[B]

Maybe. What day is it actually? Is it for the drink or the rapper?

[A]

For the drink.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

For the drink.

[B]

I wanted to properly celebrate.

[A]

Are you hating on the OG I didn't know.

[B]

Are we celebrating him? Like I should have worn a shirt?

[A]

Do not hate on the OG But I can tell you right now, never once watched even one episode of Law and Order suv. Never once. I've seen it. I've come across it. Never watched an episode.

[B]

You're missing out.

[A]

Not once. Were those the people that were on the court side or was that a different show at the Knicks game?

[C]

I think that was Law.

[A]

That's Law and Order people, right? Yeah. All right. Yep. And Chris Maloney.

[C]

Look, it's Mariska and the other guy.

[A]

All right. Happy iced tea day today. The Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz returned to dust with board Rod Ryan show on this wild card Wednesday. You guys are doing a great job in the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store. Thank you very much. Of course, our friend Mundo went in there and did some shopping. I'm seeing a lot of you guys in there. I know. We did over $4,000 in homeroom in sales and donations. I will match every penny that you spent in homeroom. I will match. I will Personally match every penny sent in that spent in that store today in donations and purchases up to $10,000. I'm here. I'm here. Ready to write the check. So Mundo said, hey, I just placed my order for match Day today. The new shirts are awesome. Well done. Is there any way to add a men's tank top? Thanks for everything y' all do for the kids. Kids. I've been in that position before where I needed charity school materials. It helped so much. I've heard that before from so many people. There was a girl, she might have been working for Jim Adler, the Texas Hammer, and she was volunteering because the Texas Hammer is going to come in, he's going to help us out later on in the summer. She said, rod, I was that kid driving in the car coming through to get school supplies from you. Yes. She said, my family needed it, so. And then she's now passing out backpacks with school supplies. She was a kid in the car and she said that we handed her the backpacks and stuff in the car.

[B]

Like, yeah, that's why you do it.

[A]

It blows my mind. So Mundo said that he's been in a position when he was younger that he needed help with with school supplies. Now he's in there and he's spending money on the men's tank top.

[B]

Are you gonna address that?

[A]

I've done it before. I got stuck with them. Like, it just wasn't a popular item. I'm not saying that nobody wants it, but I've tried some other things before. People have tried to get me to buy to make pet shirts, and I'm like, that's, you know, I'm not Amazon.com so when I'm coming up with stuff and I'm working with Dabs, she works with me on all this stuff and I pick her brain, like, help me out. What are people like that water bottle today that's in there that we're selling the Rod Ryan Show. It's a brand new water bottle. It's a new style. That's the style that my kid says all her friends have. It's just a different kind of water. The obsession with my kid in water

[B]

bottles, that is next level, isn't it?

[A]

It's weird. When did that happen? That, you know, when it became a thing everywhere it became a thing. When the Stanley became like the cool thing to carry around.

[B]

And then all of a sudden, now jeans. When we were in high school, kids would, like, carry them around.

[A]

What is it?

[B]

A Nalgene, which is a water bottle. It was A thing.

[A]

So this has been going on for a while.

[C]

Like the camelback water bottle.

[B]

Oh, yeah, those were a thing.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So this water bottle is like the hippest, newest one that we're. That we have in there.

[B]

Thanks for keeping us cool, Red.

[A]

But back to. You know, I've done tank tops before and it just, it's not. It's not one of those things that most people want. Just about every person out there wears a T shirt, you know, and I do get a little more daring with the girls. So there is some girls tanks and, you know, girl cut shirts and ladies cut shirts, however you want to call it. But yeah, if you do some shopping today, I would greatly appreciate was. It wasn't until like 8 o' clock last night that we got the hat in there. I think that hat is. It looks good.

[B]

I got one of those.

[A]

It's super badass. You bought a hat?

[B]

I did.

[A]

You did buy a hat and a water bottle. Deb says, check the sizes. Like that vintage star, that soft T shirt. She goes, that goes all the way up to 5x. So if anybody's asking about sizing and stuff, she's like, listen, we have a lot of options in there. There's a new Koozie. So I. Mundo, I appreciate it. Another. I'm not ruling it out, you know, because we're gonna add some things as the summer goes on, but I just gotta put. We gotta slap our name on things that are gonna sell. And if you see. I'm gonna take the camera here and I'm moving the camera. See that corner right there? And all those boxes? If you're on Facebook right now.

[B]

Yes, yes, yes.

[A]

Or if you're watching us on YouTube, but you can't really see. But there's a. There's a corner here. Oh, there's boxes. You know what those boxes are? Stuff that didn't sell. I gotta pay for that. We have to pay for it. That's not. I'm not saying that I paid for that out of my pocket, but I pay for that out of the money that you guys spend. I gotta pay for those shirts and I get the best deal on the planet from my friends over at bmp. I get the greatest deal on the planet working with them. I gotta back out the cost of the shirts, then I gotta sell them. So, for instance, Mo, thank you for buying that hat. I had to buy 72 of those

[B]

to make like a minimum to get

[A]

the deal, to get it at a price point so that I could not sell it. Super Expensive. And I have to sell 72 of those in order. I gotta probably sell 60 to cover my cost fair. So it's just one of those things. It's a numbers game. And we're trying to get some things in there. And I always take suggestions. You know, I'm not doing kids shirts again. I got stuck with all of those.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

There are some extra smalls though. I saw in there.

[C]

There's some extra smalls.

[A]

So do something and then watch one of Teresa's videos and cut it up, make it fit. You know, a little Buzz collab right there. Thank you everybody. That's shopping and donating. You're so generous.

[C]

Houston's rockin alternative, the Rod ryan Morning show.

[B]

6 to 10am 94. 5 the buzz.

[A]

All right, let's go. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan Show. That's Frankie Benjamin. They got a Show with Chevelle October 10th, Woodlands Pavilion. Chili has strategically put those tickets on Mow the Show today. We're two hours away from. Is that right? 7, 8, 9. An we an hour away.

[B]

Two hours.

[A]

Two hours. We're two hours away. Should have just gone with what I said.

[B]

We're two hours away live on the radio. Math is our favorite thing to do.

[A]

We're asking you a question. Yeah. It's only coming up on eight. That's right. We're gonna have those tickets for you on MOW the show today. Mostly cloudy. I see no troubles with rain today at all. Later on this afternoon should be dipping into the 90s. Come on. There you go. You can do it. All right, Mo, you ready?

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

Houston's headlines, what you got? Good morning.

[B]

Iran has launched attacks on US bases in the Middle East. They claim it is in response to US strikes in Iran. But those US strikes were announced as retaliation for the downing of an Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz. This all comes the day after Trump suggested that a peace deal with Iran could be possible within the next two to three days. A Texas jury found 19 year old Carmelo Anthony guilty of murder yesterday in the Fatal stabbing of 17 year old Austin Metcalfe at the high school track meet in Frisco last April. The jury deliberated about three hours before returning a unanimous verdict. They sentenced him to 35 years in prison.

[A]

I know there was a lot of people outside that courtroom yesterday. I was watching too. I'm like, please man, just let's not have any problem.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All over the news, you know, like let the courts take care of that. But. And I realize people are all over on different sides. But thank goodness there was no trouble. I didn't know what was going to happen after this, after the announcement was made.

[B]

I feel like we've been talking about the World cup for years now.

[A]

We have been talking about it for years.

[B]

It starts tomorrow. We've seen Houston just really prepare for this huge event. And tomorrow, Mexico takes on South Africa. That game in Mexico City. The United States national team plays Friday. And having previously hosted back in 1994, the US is just hoping that this time around they can positively show off their home soil. Not just, hey, look at America and look at all the cool things we can do, but also, hey, look at our U.S. soccer team. Soccer is a fun sport.

[A]

Would we be more. I mean, would it help at all, Alex, if it was just in America? This is the first time in the history of the World cup that it's been split between three countries as a host.

[C]

Korea and Japan had shared it.

[A]

Right. But three countries. It's the first time. Is it too watered down?

[C]

All the US Games will be in the US So I don't think that that changes any of them.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Canada's gonna play their games in Canada. Mexico to play their games in Mexico. Pretty much all the knockout stuff, besides a couple games in Mexico will be here.

[A]

I'm just seeing poll questions, and it's. It's a. It's America's interest level in the World Cup.

[C]

America doesn't care about soccer 99 of the time.

[A]

So, like, I would still love.

[C]

Don't care about soccer to, like, all of a sudden be like, now I care about that. But I do think you get, like, the Olympic pull in with a lot of people.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Like, you want to support Team usa.

[B]

Yeah. No matter what.

[A]

Like, regardless.

[C]

List if you paid any attention to soccer ever before.

[A]

Yeah. It's like, I don't watch curling, except

[C]

for every four years.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And I'm all in.

[A]

I'm like that. So I'm. I'm excited about watching some soccer games.

[B]

Same.

[A]

You know, will I watch them? I'll give you a little cheat sheet. Tomorrow.

[C]

We can run through some guys that you can, like, seem like you know what you're talking about.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

At the bar or whatever.

[A]

If you're watching tomorrow, that's what I need to look. I need to look cool with the guys in the bar.

[B]

Hey, Matt Damon is now a rapper.

[C]

And.

[B]

And his rapper name is Nomad. Is it a midlife crisis? Maybe. But it's also a part of a campaign for his charity, which is Water Dot. Org. He helps bring clean water to people around the world who need it. And he's got some major brands standing behind him. Starbucks, Gap. I see Amazon all joining the effort. But to be clear, he's not 100% serious, so. Matt Damon says music and humor are two of the best ways to cut through in culture. And so obviously the. Those are the two places that we're trying to focus on. And he is a funny guy. Do you happen to have any of the audio of him quote, unquote rapping?

[A]

Yeah. I mean, he's got a hoodie on.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

With the hood up.

[B]

He's doing it.

[A]

Yeah, I have it. There's a link up.

[B]

Okay, perfect.

[A]

Yeah. How's my distance with this?

[C]

All good.

[A]

Yeah. Did we do the ad libs now or do we do them after? Here we go. Buy yourself a better heavy. A shirt, a song. Five bucks can change the world. You can't go wrong, man. I am not good at this. I love it.

[B]

It's the effort and the rapper name is kind of funny. Damon backwards. No, mad.

[A]

He seems. He seems like a cool dude.

[B]

Machine Gun Kelly speaking out for the first time about his massive upper body blackout tattoo. He debuted the piece in April of 2024. Covered the majority of his arms, his chest, his stomach in all black ink.

[C]

Is it a piece if it's just all blacked out?

[A]

Like, it's just kind of a trending thing, lack of anything blacked out. It's like when you just. You started getting all these tattoos and they all just. Just like, just black everything out.

[B]

He's cover. He was covering stuff up, right?

[A]

Yeah. You know who really went all in on this too, was Kat Von D. She black. She blacked out too. It's.

[B]

I'd be curious about her experience because Machine Gun Kelly talking about it maybe makes it seem just horrific.

[C]

Well, if you did it the way they say you should do it, you might have a little bit different.

[B]

That's part of his story that he's telling.

[C]

Yeah. Like jaundice.

[B]

He said he got really sick. Like his skin turned yellow. He couldn't stop.

[A]

I can't imagine the pain. I cannot imagine the pain.

[B]

Not sleeping. He also admits he went a little hard. Did it all in just two months. Where it's recommended that maybe you stretch it out over more like two years.

[C]

I want to see the amount of ink that, like, bled out the first night. Oh, you know how you have a little bandage around and you wake up and it's all like, liquidy. If that had to just Be crazy, I'm sure.

[A]

You know, I always, every time I bring up tattoos or we talk about tattoos on this show, and I'm real honest about it, I'm like, it hurts. Okay. It doesn't feel good. Oh, you're a puss rod. Like, okay, you're into it.

[C]

Great. I'm not stabbed, I would imagine. But like, no, it's not like, you're not like, ha, this tickles.

[A]

No, it hurts. Especially when you start getting into tender areas. That underarm thing, that underarm business. Oh, it's terrible. Yeah, it hurts. My foot was so fun. Don't do it, kids.

[B]

Don't be Machine Gun Kelly.

[A]

Don't do it.

[B]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

All right. What you got over there, tattoo boy?

[C]

And I said with the grand opening, I said I would put up $10,000, and I'll match all the sales and donations up to $10,000, hoping that maybe you guys would only go in there and spend three or four, and then I. You don't have to come off four. $4,000 in homeroom.

I haven't gotten the Update for the 7:00 hour yet, but I did get an email from Mike, and I. I looked on the back end, and it's true. Mike Fletcher says, hey, Rod, I've been listener since day one. Love your show a lot. Especially like, all the great charity work you guys do for the people of Houston. I'm the managing. I have the managing partner of Fletcher Yoder, a local intellectual property law firm that's been in business for the last 30 years. I'm making this donation in honor of my little granddaughter who should be here in the next week or so and to help the kids in Houston get a off to a good start for this next school year. Keep up the great work. Love you guys. I just cost you $1,000.

[B]

What a way to look at it. That's how I shopped this morning. I was like, this is costing Rod Ryan some money.

[A]

Mike donated $1,000, Mike, this morning.

[B]

You got to be kidding me, Sir. Sweet.

[A]

Hey, congratulations on that granddaughter. That's huge. So he's waiting. So in her honor, he put that money in there. That's great. That is. That's amazing. And that cost me $1,000, too. So that all of the money, we're going to go and purchase backpacks full of school supplies for local children that need it here. I do need to mention, because we're working with Houston children's charity. On the flip side, if you are somebody that needs help and you're. I get. I'll get this. I'll get this email today, a couple of times, Rod, I'd love to help you, but as a matter of fact, I've fallen on some times where it's a little rough over here. How do I get involved in receiving these backpacks?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Houstonchildrenscharity.org you go to that website. That's who we work with. Get in the system, get into their system, and then hopefully we'll see you in line and we'll hook you up with some backpacks. But go through Houston Children's charity. You'll see right there, they got the backpack program. It's the back to school program for them. And we supply all the backpacks that we hand out. And I already told you the great stories of somebody that was passing out backpacks a couple years ago. And she said, rod, believe it or not, I came through this line as a kid and you. You guys handed me a backpack. Now I'm able to stand here and volunteer and give out the backpacks. You know, like you said, full circle, all that stuff. It's amazing. It's amazing. Help others.

Y' all make our mornings great, man. I love you guys, and I mean it when I say it. Thank you, Thomas. First time. First time ever on the show today. That's so great. I heard from. I heard from Karen, the crazy cat lady. She's got a lot going on in her life right now. She's like, cool shirts. This year, I can only purchase one for the time being. As you always say, every little bit helps, even if you just get in there and buy a koozie. I bought the 713, which is the 711 design. So cool how the skyline is there. Thank you, Karen. Always hoping for the best with you. Tyson says any chance we can get an unstructured cap, AKA a dad hat, in the store?

[B]

Exactly what he was talking about. Dad hat.

[A]

I love captain, but I'm not a trucker style guy. Thank you, brother Rod. Good luck with today's sales. I'll still be buying soon. I just can't make it in there today. That's fine. The store is going to be open all summer. We're just doing a big, big push today. I don't know what an unstructured cap means.

[B]

Like just a regular old.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Baseball hat.

[C]

Just flops down. It's not sitting up or anything.

[A]

It looks real sloppy.

[B]

That's what your dad wears?

[C]

It's a. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

It's what my dad once that past

[C]

the gravy hat that I wear all the time is a dad hat.

[A]

It's called like you guys. The street name is a dad hat.

[B]

No, that's just what it's unstructured. But that hat, like that guy on TV right now. Oh, you missed it. That guy. That's that red one. That's just a baseball hat.

[C]

Some of the hats just sit up. Like if you wear it like it's like the top of it'll be touching your head. Will have small heads like me. And if the bill goes up too high, they might feel good.

[A]

I've learned a lot over the years years about this and I have a massive head.

[B]

Same.

[A]

So those things I, I will put. I will sell anything to make money.

[B]

Not a crock pot.

[C]

Maybe if.

[A]

What do you want to slap our name on a crock pot?

[B]

I'd like to just like at least consider it real.

[A]

I think I'd have to go see Cheeto to get that wrapped or something.

[B]

Okay. Cheeto got his number.

[C]

Now you know where to go.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, is the dad hat more popular than the kind of hat you're wearing, which is what we're selling in the store. It's not a trucker hat, but it's a popular.

[B]

Or like what sells more?

[A]

Oh, I'm just like one of the kids.

[C]

It just depends on what people are.

[A]

Yeah. What people's preference? You know, like Mundo was asking about, you know, like a men's tank top and I said I've tried it before. I'm not saying that nobody wants it, but I don't think it's something that most people want.

[B]

Fair. Which is what you have to consider.

[A]

But I say that just not from my. It's not my own personal preference. I don't really wear tanks.

[B]

You're not a tank top guy?

[A]

I don't think I fill it out right.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah. I don't have the arms.

[A]

I just don't think I fill it out properly.

[C]

The like a drug guy.

[A]

And this is, this is coming from somebody that like, if you see me, me like doing work around my house, I have a cut off T shirt every single day around my house. Just around the house doing work.

[B]

Right.

[A]

But I just, I don't wear tanks. If tank tops were the hottest selling thing, I would do nothing but tank tops. If they. But I know from past experience in the store selling a men's tank top. It didn't sell very well. It didn't sell as well as T shirts.

[B]

And you got to live and learn.

[C]

Men's crop top.

[A]

Yeah, right.

[C]

Bring that, you know, football shirt.

[A]

The old Magnum PI where my belly's hanging out. I'm into it when I want to

[C]

break a sweat, you know, working out.

[A]

All right, I'm here for it. If you have suggestions. I'm just. I've got stuck with kids shirts, life vests. I got stuck with, you know, like people want pets, you gotta. There's so many wild. Different sizes you gotta get. And not everybody's gonna buy a dog T shirt, so I just can't. I get stuck with this stuff and I gotta pay for it. I'm just trying to make as much money as possible for the charities, for the kids. But is there something glaring that I'm missing? What is the new thing? What is the fidget spinner? What is the, you know.

[B]

Neato.

[A]

Yeah, Top hats. We could bring those back.

[B]

You're stupid.

[C]

It comes with a rabbit in it. Oh, come on.

[B]

Get him out of here.

[A]

I'd have to sell 72 of them, probably. I gotta buy.

[C]

Could you not.

[A]

I gotta buy a case to sell. Hey, you're doing a great job, though. Thank you, guys. The link for the store. It's. It's. It's on our blog page. The Rod ryan show on 94. 5. Experience adventure into the cosmic unknown. The buzz. 94. 5. The buzz. Good morning. Rod Ryan show. Three days grace. Kill me fast. It's funny how that worked out. You just gave away tickets to Buzzaween. Mo three days grace along with I prevail. October 25th, Woodlands Pavilion. Buzzaween. You've heard us talk about it. There are tickets available [e-mail]. i got carried away with the the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store and I wanted to talk to Mo. Number one. She brought us all a loaf of bread that she baked over the weekend. Just a normal looking loaf of bread. Yeah, you did have a baking. What they're calling a baking blunder. You tried to make me the Saber Sword.

[B]

Bread Saber.

[A]

The Bread Saber. They were selling it famously in Buffalo while the Sabers were on their run that got. They got stopped short of making it to the Stanley cup finals. But the Buffalo Sabers, my favorite bakery in Buffalo, they were selling a sword and it looked very phallic. You tried to make one, it looked even phallic. And now a woman accidentally baked this bread for her nephew's. 9th birthday. Like, dudes at 9 years old are making wiener jokes. She knew what she was doing, right?

[B]

My five year old makes wiener jokes.

[A]

So, yeah, like the kids would know what. This is it again. I, I know this, like, people are kind of chuckling at these cake fails and these cake wrecks and this baking blunder. So she baked this bread for her nephew's ninth birthday because he loves bread. Shaped the dough in the shape of a nine and put what they call a ramekin in the loop to keep the hole in the nine to keep its shape while it's baked. So her intention was to make a nine.

[B]

He was turning nine, her nephew. She's making it for him.

[A]

It looks like a DMV's. It really does.

[B]

Did you see the comment that her boyfriend made that started this whole thing?

[A]

No, but I, I saw somebody called it a brinis. A bread penis.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

A brinis. A collision of two words that are hilariously smashed together. It's a barinis. What did the. Somebody made a comment.

[B]

Her boyfriend, her own boyfriend said, you're forever going to be the D word red lady.

[A]

The dick red lady. I'll say it.

[B]

I won't.

[A]

I will. I'll go there.

[B]

Forever going to be there. The deep bread lady.

[A]

My name, my name is ruined. I'll say it. Even the Today show's covering this. It's so funny.

[B]

Do you think they're saying it?

[A]

The Today show is doing a story on dick bread.

[B]

I bought us all a loaf.

[A]

Even the mom said when they saw, when they saw the bread, they went nuts. Oh. Now today's show, we'll tell that joke. Today's show. Show. They won't call it dick.

[B]

Do it. You think Savannah will make the joke? Or Al Roker? No, Carson.

[A]

He's like, oh, I bet they went nuts.

[C]

Oh, wow.

[B]

I would fall out of my chair.

[A]

Oh, sorry. If there's kids watching, you can see the dick red on links and guests. Houston's rock. Houston's alternative altogether and the Rod ryan Morning Show. 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Big day. Rod Ryan show cares online store our new summer merchandise and the place where you can donate money. It's our grand opening today. Deb just sent me an email. She said, does she hate you? About to give you an update. She got goes, there's some people putting a hurting on you. She goes, plan on spending that whole 10 grand today.

[B]

I, I just got goosebumps, Ross.

[A]

She said, she goes, there's a couple. She goes, there's a few people that have entered the chat with some very generous donations this morning. She goes, if you thought you weren't going to come off of that whole 10 grand today, you're. You're mistaken.

[B]

Think again.

[A]

So I'm waiting for that update. I said that I would put up $10,000 out of my own money matching you guys and your efforts today. And if it's crazy Karen the cat lady buying a koozie, that all helps. Okay, that all helps. I know that we're talking about there's some people that have come in with some big donations today. One koozie. If I got every single person listening right now to buy a T shirt. T shirt. One T shirt. Every one of you that's listening right now, if you bought a T shirt, I'd be done with my summer program and I can buy the backpacks that I need. My heart, everybody's just kind of waiting for someone else to do it, you know. So every little bit helps. Absolutely. Thank you so much for your generosity, Mo. Let's get after it one final time. Houston's headlines.

[B]

Thank you, sir.

[A]

What you got?

[B]

Oh, Iran has launched attacks on US Bases in the Middle East. Oh, they claim it's in response to the US Strikes on them, but those were retaliation for the downing of that Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

[A]

You make it sound like they make a phone call. It's like, hey, why are you doing this? Because you did it.

[B]

And I'm doing it because you did it.

[A]

It might be as simple as that. I mean, as much as we're saying.

[B]

And the talk, they're like, well, I would like to announce that we are retaliating. Well. Well, this all comes a day after Trump suggested that a peace deal with Iran could be possible within the next two or three days. Lots of trash talk this morning in Houston because the City Council is set to vote on that potential $5 trash fee for residents.

[A]

They're going to pass that in a second.

[B]

I'm seeing both sides. But today's potential vote would be for the city's next budget. And it is one of the biggest debates over whether to implement this new trash fee. If approved, the fee is going to be added to your water bill. If you're already getting city trash services.

[A]

Okay, I got feelings. I keep it to myself because anything added to my water bill, it's like, just, just punch me in the face. Just punch me in the face and be better.

[B]

Rare apple. It's going to make you. It's going to Bring you joy.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's in New Zealand and produce market in New Zealand got an apple delivery last month and they opened that delivery and found a rare chichai chimera apple.

[A]

Now, I know you got some emails on this. How you feel? How are you feeling on the pronunciation right now?

[B]

No one knows.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We've got both sides.

[A]

Really? I got listeners that tell me they know.

[B]

Oh, do they?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Half red, half yellow. It's drawing attention because it's split perfectly down the middle. And these apples are believed to occur in less than one in a million fruits.

[A]

It's like when they pull out one of those blue lobsters, you know, like they check the nets. All of a sudden there's like some. Or some albino lobster.

[B]

Show us those.

[A]

Yeah, that's kind of cool.

[B]

People are going back to the grocery with their spouses, like, hey, look what I saw.

[A]

So I. I haven't seen the apple. What does it look like?

[B]

It looks like an apple.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It is literally drawn down the middle. One half is one color, the other half is another color.

[A]

It's cool.

[B]

It's pretty wild, but it almost doesn't look real. I don't know. Now it's a museum piece and I think they're just gonna hold out until it rots. No, I think they are. You think someone could buy it? How do you put a price on that?

[A]

It's not gonna last long.

[B]

I don't know. Funny story from Tom Hanks. I guess he was doing Jimmy Kimmel last night and decided to talk about colonoscopy parties.

[A]

Yeah, I didn't know this is a thing.

[B]

Maybe you should sign up Tom Hanks. Martin Short and Steve Martin.

[A]

Martin, funny guys.

[B]

The pals get together the night before their colonoscopies. They compete to be the last one to use the bathroom. You know, you have to drink that nasty stuff to clear out your system. So these guys sitting around eating jello, playing cards, fighting with each other. And in case you're curious, Tom Hanks told Jimmy Kimmel that he is the strongest when it comes to holding it in because he has a, quote, colon of iron.

[A]

If they wanna. If they wanna raise, raise a couple million dollars for charity. Live stream. Those three guys.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Now, you know they never would because they're saying things and things that they don't want.

[B]

Oh, right.

[A]

But to see those three guys hanging out in their natural habitat and, like,

[B]

saying stuff to each other to make you have to go to the bathroom.

[A]

These are three of the greats of all time hanging out with each other.

[B]

Think about.

[A]

That'd be amazing.

[B]

This last story is for Alex. Alex Jackwell White, just kind of a casual guy.

[A]

He loves them.

[B]

He doesn't want those big announcements. And that's kind of what he's doing with this new album that we now know about. He quietly put out an album called Frozen Charlotte. It's a vinyl pre order that is up now on his website. No press release, no formal announcement. You order it and there's no real wait. It's scheduled to ship July 10th. Jack White currently touring in Europe. North American tour dates on the way. And those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Are you. I mean, when stuff comes out, will you go and seek it out right away?

[C]

Depends on what's going on.

[A]

Don't downplay how much you love him.

[B]

Do you have a tattoo?

[A]

I do not.

[B]

You don't love him that much then.

[A]

Would you? Jsbs probably not. J Even J is.

[B]

Bees jiggle.

[C]

Astros lost the angels last night 10 to 1. They're gonna play them again tonight. Peter Lambert's gonna be on the mound for the Stroze going up against LA's Reed Detmer's first pitches at 8:38.

[A]

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

New York and Spurs fans not getting along.

[C]

Did you see game one and two and the spurs people were trying to push the New York guys into the river.

[A]

Is that cool?

[C]

No, I didn't think San Antonio's gotta chill too.

[A]

Everybody.

[C]

There's always an asshole that makes it bad. Looks. Everybody else look bad.

[A]

It's a game. It's a game. It's outrageous to see these people acting like idiots. Like idiots. I'll say it.

Debbie Johnson spent $58.34. She just checked out in the last five minutes. So that means I got to spend out of my pocket $58.34.

I have never seen more charitable people in my entire life than I've met here in the Houston area. Never seen anything like it. When I tell my friends, and then I have friends that do radio and other places. They're like, you raised what you did what you sell what they can't believe the numbers that we do here. They, they absolutely cannot believe when I tell them what, what kind of fundraising. And I just said I don't know. There's a special breed of people down here for sure. No doubt about it. Thank you so much. All the money that we're raising, you know, is going through the Rod Ryan show Cares foundation, which is a 501C3.

When you write a jingle like that, do you get royalties?

[A]

Probably Back then it was A buyout.

[B]

Oh, yeah. And he probably got a crappy amount of money.

[A]

He might have got 500 bucks. And we're still singing it for the Band Aid spot. It'd be a fun question to ask Bear.

If I ever.

[A]

If I ever run into Barry, man, I'll ask him.

Well, you just text him.

[A]

So as.

Before the. The Rod Ryan Show Care store opens, a lot of work's going on logos. What are we going to do? What will people buy? What are people interested in? Should we do something red, white and blue? Yes, we should. 250th as I'm getting the final products ready to go. And you know, we're going through 10, 15, 20 different logos and then we decide on this finished product. What you see in the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store, the number one selling T shirt the. This morning.

[B]

Oh, yeah, tell us.

[A]

It's the 713. That kind of like that I borrowed.

That's the number one seller. Yeah. The number two seller is the one that Alex purchased. The buzz smiley face.

[C]

Good.

[B]

It's really cool.

[A]

I think it's our best logo, I thought.

And.

[A]

But here's how. I don't know weird what I'm doing. You got me in charge of this whole thing and I'm telling Deb by far and away to take me back to Houston. And you can see all this in the store. I said, that's the best logo. That's going to be our biggest seller. 1, 2, 3. There's four shirts that are selling better than that one.

[B]

Does she make her bets too, or does she just listen to idea?

[A]

Well, no, she. I. I gotta bounce all this off her because she's the expert.

[B]

Yeah, she's a pro.

[A]

They're the X. And then they got the artists over there and everything, and they make tweaks and everything. You know, I send ideas. They're like, no, you're dumb.

You got to buy a bunch of them. You got to print them up, and then you just hope for the best. I think I bought 60, and we sold 11. So this is good. This is for the summer. We're gonna be around. We're gonna be around all summer. I told you guys I would match up to $10,000. Deb's working on numbers. She's like, you're gonna have to call it. So I'm waiting on the official numbers.

I'm not watching much of that slapping thing that's going on.

[C]

I'll see highlights of it, but I don't tune into it.

[A]

Me too. I see clips of it. It's just like, wow. Getting slapped in the face and trying to stand there and take it. Travis must have taken one in, saw Dana there, and said, hey, can I. Can we get Nitro Circus involved with your White House show and UFC and Flag Day and Trump's birthday. So here. This is them on. This is them on the phone. This is Travis Pastran. You know who that is?

[B]

No. I just looked him up, though.

[A]

Okay. Travis Pastrana and Dana White talking on the phone. Dana, how you doing? Well, you grabbed me at power slap and said, I want to do a backflip on the. On the South Lawn of the White House house. And I said, interesting. All right, let me see what I can do. I thought that was. That was a nice no. I appreciate it, man. No, it's done. We're. We're doing it. I got it. Done. That's a yes. That's a yes. We're back flipping the White. White House lawn. You're doing it on the South Lawn? The White House. That's pretty cool. So they're just kind of adding to what's going to already be happening.

[B]

What vehicle is he going to use? He's a motorcycle thing.

[A]

He's a motorcycle guy.

[B]

Oh, my word.

[A]

So Travis Pastrana. Geez, don't hold me to the history of this.

[B]

I'm on his Wikipedia page.

[A]

So Carrie Hart is. Is Pink's husband.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

He was the first guy to flip a motorcycle, do a. Like, a 360.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Right. He did a. Like, a circle in the air. Travis Pastran has done, like, two and three flips now. Oh, yeah. But Carrie was the first one, though. Kerry Hart, I believe. I do know that history, but with the things that Travis Pastrana has done, and then now he's got this group of guys. Nitro. Nitro Circus. That. The stuff that they do on motorcycles and everything, it's. It's pretty unbelievable. So they're gonna add this now to everything that's going on with the ufc. So, yeah, add some motorcycles into the White House lawn, and it's like, all right, I'm gonna kick back and watch this stuff, man. I think it's gonna be cool. We raced Go Karts with Travis Pastrana back in the day. It turns out he was pretty good at it.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Like, he smoked everybody. He's got the same car as all of us.

[C]

He just knows how to do it better.

[A]

He does? Yeah. Like, he lapped me.

[C]

He's a professional.

[A]

I'm like, there goes Travis. He like, wait a minute. We started out, like, right next to each other. He may have lapped me a couple of times in the same car. Just got word from Deb.

[B]

How's that girl?

[A]

She said, rod, you're writing a $10,000?

[B]

No freaking way.

[A]

Just over $16,000 in sales and donations in the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store, so.

[B]

[A]

So adding in my 10, that's $26,000 just hanging out this morning. $26,000 this morning is outrageous. So you're 16? I do have to back out and pay for the cost of the things. But still, you know, an over twenty thousand dollar day is outrageous. We've never done numbers like this before. Thank you so much. The Rob Ryan show Care store is gonna be open all summer. I know there's plenty of you that, hey, man, I don't have the money today. It's like, you gotta wait till I get paid, Rod, then I'll get in the store. Okay, the store is gonna be open, but thank you so much. That means that's a lot of backpacks full of school supplies that we're gonna get to purchase for the kiddos. So Houston children's charity, we're working with them again. And that's just a huge thing. Thank you. $16,000, you guys. Unbelievable. And there was some big donations too this morning.

[A]

Valerie, when I came up with this stupid ten thousand dollar thing, it was before I made the decision to do it. It. I didn't tell anybody. And then I already kind of made up my mind and then I told you guys, I went to the orthodontist.

[B]

Yeah, this is not.

[A]

This is no longer the dentist, okay? Most of that stuff is covered by our insurance. Orthodontist. Our insurance just laughed at me. Like orthodontist. What, you want your kids teeth to look good? Yeah, that was after the orthodontist. And that's just phase one. Okay? I'm in like for 10 years of phase praises on this. You're right. $10,000. But you know the listeners came through with over 16,000, so that's huge. And Valerie, you win. What are you giving her?
