[Kenny the Cash Man]

sam.

[Rod Ryan]

Here we go.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Here we go. Here we go.

[Rod Ryan]

Come on.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Good morning. This is Ed McMahon.

[Rod Ryan]

And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's Rod Ryan. Yes, sir. Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey Rod Ryan show. Checking in on this free beer Friday. Beer brought to us by specs. We got beer for each and every hour straight up at 6789. Kenny the cash man. Two huge wins for him. He's going for win number three. Does he get an easy layup game? You guys are not making it easy on Kenny the Cash man. He's going for win number three. We'll play that game at around 6:20. I'm surprised to see this, but he loves you too. Chili put the sold out stained tickets in home room on the fun fact flashback today.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

That's a huge home room right there. More beer in the seven. Motley Crue tickets at 7:20. The Suburb Sizzler. Who was that guy? Gary was the guy that sent me an email. He said, I guarantee I'll be shouting out my name. Don't worry, you're not going to have another situation as we did yesterday. We'll see Timothy from Montgomery and Gary from West Columbia. That's your suburb Summer Sizzler today at 8:20. Open phones. Friday you get the whole last hour of the show. You guys get to talk and do all that. I don't see anything over a 10% chance of rain this weekend.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

But.

[Rod Ryan]

But then. But then there's always mo.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Ye.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

What?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You know what? That's. They're talking about rain for the weekend. Tomorrow's August.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Right.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

And I'm seeing no heat relief on the way. It's just like hundreds, hundreds, hundreds, hundreds. A little summer front is going to blow in for a chance of showers and even thunderstorms Saturday night. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

No, not okay.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You're mad for Saturday, potentially lingering into Sunday. But it's looking like Saturday evening has the highest chance for rain. Today's gonna be steamy, same as the last few days. We got a heat index of 107. A little rain wouldn't hurt any of us.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, if you've got something going on outside like white linen night. Saturday night.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Texas is banning several THC products and those bans take effect today. Several hemp derived. I stumbled on that word THC. Cannabis products, including Delta 8, Delta 10, no longer sold in stores. People in possession of them because face jail time and fines. Delta 9, THC, the most common sold in products in Texas, is going to be legal in low doses. So I need perspective for this.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't. I even. We could have somebody call that knows their weed and all this stuff and I still wouldn't understand.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Cannabis experts are saying today's ban could remove more than half of the THC products in some stores shelves. More than half.

[Rod Ryan]

Is today the last day you can sell this stuff? And then tomorrow it starts. It's a weird day to start something. I know it's Friday and all, but it's July 31st.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah. I laughed out loud when you showed me this next story. The Average parent loses 6,858 minutes a year driving their kids around. That's 40 minutes a day, which seems low, but it's funny to think it's like 15 work days if you're working eight hours a day. All spent behind the wheel. The survey is obviously timely as we prep for back to school this, what, two weeks?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Ugh.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

We live in Houston. I guarantee it's more for most parents.

[Rod Ryan]

Shout out to your kids that play sports and everything, and you got multiple kids. You're driving them all over the place.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

And they have to be at the same place at the same time or different places.

[Rod Ryan]

Practices.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Alicia Silverstone, back in the news. It's official. She's going to return as Cher for a Clueless sequel. It's going to be on Paramount. Plus, you remember last year it was in the works on Peacock and it got scrapped. And before that there was a spin off series that never happened, but this one, Paramount. Plus, it's going to take place 30 years after the movie. So Cher is like a successful business owner and a mom. A mashup no one saw coming. In 2026, the Smashing Pumpkins and Greg Brady. Barry Williams from the Brady Bunch joined the Smashing Pumpkins on stage on Wednesday.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Lollapalooza. In Chicag, Chicago, they performed It's a Sunshine Day. Of course.

[Rod Ryan]

Now the audio that I have of the performance is not that great.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

But for those of you that need to be reminded of what song they did on stage, it's pretty. It's horrible.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Barry Williams, I think at one point could sing, but he doesn't sing very well. Greg Brady. But if you've ever watched the Brady Bunch, they appeared on a television show,

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

an amateur talent show, and the name

[Rod Ryan]

of the band was the Silver Platinum Ladders because I think they ruined some kind of an anniversary gift for their parents. So they were trying to raise money. So you got Billy Corgan on stage playing this song.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

This probably was a huge hit with

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Barry Williams like jamming out to it. It's fine.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Like how many of the 18 to 24 year olds were like, oh, is that Greg Brady?

[Rod Ryan]

Probably not, but it doesn't. But Billy Corgan doesn't care. He's.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

They wouldn't have had the Brady Bunch without me.

[Rod Ryan]

Corgan's obsessed with the Brady bun.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. You can see the video on the music blog page.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Take it. Astros are back in action tonight. They're going to open up a weekend series with the Rangers at Dyken Park. Hunter Brown will be on the mound for this jersey. He's going up against the Rangers. Nathan Evaldi first pitches at 7:15. You can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. Houston Dynamic is going to be back on the pitch tomorrow night. They're going to play Sporting Kansas City on the road. That'll kick off at 7:30 and you can watch it on Apple TV. The Dash will be at home tomorrow night. They're going to host Gotham FC here at Shell Energy Stadium. And that game's going to start at 7. That is what's going on in sports.

[Rod Ryan]

Here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. If you want the first phone call, you're going to have to be the first beer winner. We got beer straight up at 6, 7, 8 and 9. Let's go, guys. The most interactive show on the radio starts right now. Let's go.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Free bear.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Friday,

[Rod Ryan]

you got the free bear. Friday you got the free bear.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

[Kenny the Cash Man]

No, not ever.

[Rod Ryan]

I would remember a Jonica. So you're telling me.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

[Rod Ryan]

It's super different. I would remember that if I had had you on before. You have never, ever been on the air with us on this radio show.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

These.

[Rod Ryan]

These games. This Fresh out of bed. It's such silly little game.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Soap opera, really.

[Rod Ryan]

It really is like an ongoing soap opera. I can't wait for the game today. And then Chili puts stain tickets in homeroom. Now. I'm not done with yet. You think I'm done. I'm not done.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Rod's gonna just lay out what we're doing today. We are doing a lot today. I got a guy on the phone.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Right now. And we already did the first phone call. Gave away the beer. This guy's called the last couple of years. It's AJ and if you remember, AJ And Brook, they've called the last couple of years, and he shoots me an email, and he's always like, hey, you know, how you doing on backpacks this year? And I said, good. I said, I'm always behind. I don't want to always sound like I'm complaining, but I'm always behind. Like, it's a money thing. I'm always behind. I never have enough money for the backpacks. So I'm honest with him. I'm like, yeah, I'm running behind, as normal. He goes, well, what if. What if I, you know, maybe issued a challenge to the listeners? I said, well, you know, we did. We did all these great things. We've had all these great partners before. AJ Wanted to come on. He said, it's the last day of the month. Maybe people are getting paid today. Aj. Brooke. AJ Good morning.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Good morning, guys.

[Rod Ryan]

Dude, how many years you've been bugging me? And I mean bugging me in the most. In the most brilliant way ever?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I think it's been about five years, something like that.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I think so, too. I think so, too. What you got? What are you throwing out there, Dude, I'll do it. What do you want me to do? You want me to dance?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

You got a ton of. You got a ton of amazing supporters, and your listeners are pretty awesome. This backpack drive is always one of the, in my opinion, most worthwhile charity drives that we've got in the city. So figure, hey, end of the run, maybe people can dig deep. Maybe people are getting paid today.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, boy.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Let's see what we can do to. To push it on the last day. So I'm going to throw down $1,000. I'm going to challenge other listeners to just jump in with whatever you got, help out.

[Rod Ryan]

Dude, you and Brooke, I can't thank you enough. You guys are so awesome. And it's always like one of those, like, hey, you know what? It's late in the game, but let's see if we can kind of make something happen on this last day. If we can do a little bit of magic today, I'm all for it, A.J. i can't thank you guys enough. I really can't. You guys are so unbelievably generous, both you and Brooke. I love you both. I mean it when I say. When I say that. I really do, aj.

My goodness. All right, aj, Hang on the phone. All right, you heard him. That's it. It's one final day. He's throwing down, and he's just. He's just saying, whatever you got. Whatever you got. He's putting in a thousand. Can we at least match. Can we match his thousand with a bunch of people?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, I'm not saying should be.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not saying another person chucking a thousand. That wouldn't be bad. I'd love that. But can we match his 1000 today and maybe get something going in the store? Donations?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

[Rod Ryan]

Good game today. Good game today. Okay. It's a huge flashback. It's gonna be those sold out stain tickets, right? I keep asking you like, am I right on this?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You are right. Correct you if you were wrong.

[Rod Ryan]

New glasses. Maybe it's the wrong prescription.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, I got some new fun facts for you today. I'm gonna need a little extra time for these too. 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. Yeah, here we go. Now there's to tell you this fun first fun fact. Okay, I'm going to give it to you first. Back in 1994, think about like what we were doing in 1994 and I'll tell you what I was doing in a minute. Taco Bell released an album. You heard me correct. Taco Bell released an album. It was a compilation of alternative music. It was called Do Something. It featured artists like Spin Doctors, Cracker, General Public, Sarah McLaughlin, Living Color, Dollar and the Smithereens. Okay. You could buy it at Taco Bell for 4.99 on CD, 3.99 on cassette. And a portion of the proceeds went to helping young people improve their communities. I looked it up. A few relics are available on ebay starting at about five bucks. But in 1994 is when grunge and alternative was taking over the world, okay. And it was the most popular music in America. It was the biggest thing going. So much so that Taco Bell conned a bunch of artists to get on a compilation CD that they exclusively sold. It just. It was an amazing time. Nirvana's Nevermind had come out a couple years earlier, but that's when radio stations were switching. That's when the buzz was just starting out in its infancy. It reminds me of when like rap first came out and you had the Flintstones rapping on a like my name is Fred and I love Fruity Pebbles. Like they were. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they did that back in the day.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It just sticks over all.

[Rod Ryan]

People have only been using the word wasted to describe someone who's drunk since the late 60s.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

That is fun

[Rod Ryan]

to compare calling somebody high or getting high. Being high has been used since as early as 1627.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

No way.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, finally, you're going to want to remember this one. 1 cuz I'm going to start y I'm going to start yelling out dates, years that people were born that are listening to the Rod Ryan show. You ready? So see if I catch the year that you were born. You want the good ones or the bad ones first? You want the bad ones?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I have no idea what you're going to say.

[Rod Ryan]

1957. You want the bad ones?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Bad news.

[Rod Ryan]

People born in 57, 68, 8, 79, 89, 2000 and 2013, you're going to live of average of 5.2 years less than other people. That's neat.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

What's that about?

[Rod Ryan]

Peaks in solar activity during those years. Apparently the UV radiation from the solar rays affects growth during pregnancy. What? Yeah, hopefully you got those dates now. Good news.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, give me the good news.

[Rod Ryan]

1954, 1964, 76, 86, 96 and 2008.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That's me.

[Rod Ryan]

You'll live the longest.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I'm sorry.

[Rod Ryan]

Thanks to being born during periods of lower solar activities. It's science. It's science. It's the fun fact of the day. Ouch. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Felt like the Hunger Games there for a second yelling out dates.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Did you. Did you win or did you lose?

[Rod Ryan]

I was not mentioned.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You weren't mentioned.

Awesome. I don't mean to trigger anybody, bring up bad things, but what comes from the Italian words for 40 days word?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Quarantine?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, the word quarantine. Quarantine literally translates to 40 days. Now, this goes back to, like, pirates and stuff and ships that they made those ships wait outside of Venice for 40 days before coming ashore because they were so filthy. Probably infested with plague from the rats. You win. I know. Real dark, but you win. Congratulations. This is great.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Can we compartmentalize?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I can put that.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex, please, just forget about yesterday. Let's have a great game today. And let's talk to Mo about Houston's headlines.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's National Avocado Day, Alex. That should.

[Rod Ryan]

That's the headline.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Tomorrow is August next. No heat relief on the way. I heard someone earlier say dog days of August. And I'm like, you're joking, right? Like, we have to keep up with this Today heat index of 107. Same as the last few days, but a little summer front could blow in a chance of showers and even thunderstorms. When this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. It's looking like Saturday evening has the highest chance for rain.

[Rod Ryan]

White linen night in the Heights.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Let's go with later in the evening as the rain.

[Rod Ryan]

All those girls in white linen.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It says south of I10, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Like a huge wet T shirt contest. Right in the height on 19th now.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, geez.

[Rod Ryan]

The world's biggest wet T shirt contest.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Steamy white linen night.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Alex also told me the trending movie of the weekend is Spider Man. The new Spider man movie is having one of the best previews ever. So yesterday it did, you know, kind of trickles into theaters. It made over $50 million in yesterday's preview.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Preview.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That beat the record that was previously set by the last Spider man movie. It also had the third best Thursday preview ever behind Avengers Endgame, Star Wars, Force Awakens.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm predicting we're probably still a couple years away, but I'm predicting that the most profitable movie star, I think it might be Zoe Saldana right now. We were all kind of surprised at that. But she been in such big movies.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Zendaya is going to overtake her. She's in everything.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

She is really busy, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Zendaya is in everything.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

She's having a moment.

[Rod Ryan]

She is going. She's going to be on the list.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Sh. Sh. Feels like he's in Everything.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, but I don't think his are is blockbuster. I mean, nobody went to go see that Dylan movie or the pingpong movie.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Nobody's going to see anybody saw Marty Supreme Be.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

No, I read the book.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

But we know you're seeing Spider man this weekend.

[Rod Ryan]

Did not read the book.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I saw the headline earlier this week about the hiker that had walked down.

[Rod Ryan]

You're doing this story. I said it to you today.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I had seen it. And his walking stick was impaling him. I'm like, wow, you know, that's crazy. But I saw another detail this morning that made me have to bring it up.

[Rod Ryan]

But hang on. Have you seen this yet, Alex?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

A guy getting impaled?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I don't want to see that.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Had you seen the headline? It's like everywhere.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, I didn't want to watch it.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He's recovering. It's great news.

[Rod Ryan]

So you're walking and a trekking stick and you've got like ski poles and you're walking. One of them went through his.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Slipped on a rock. It went through his body?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, I don't.

[Rod Ryan]

It went through his chest.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Throughout his back, he continued to walk 10 miles to safety.

[Rod Ryan]

Why?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I thought it was because he was on a mountain and no one could get to him fast enough. So he just, you know, like was on adrenaline. That's not why.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex, tell everybody why he chose to walk back down the mountain with an impaled walking going from his front of his body through the back.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He refused the search and rescue because he didn't want to pay for the flight.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I appreciate that.

[Rod Ryan]

They said the chopper that has to come up there and get you is so expensive. He knew this. He said, I'm not paying that.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

He walked down impaled 10 miles with

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

a stick through his body.

[Rod Ryan]

Chile has a link up for this with pictures. I hope.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's kind of sad that he even had to think about that. But he is a wound nurse, so he, like, seen some stuff. I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm going through. After his accident got to the hospital, it had been in there for seven hours. He recovered for a week and went back to work. Give him a medal and somebody's like,

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I need a mental health day.

[Rod Ryan]

Give the guy a couple days, please.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

This guy, he hiked.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, some people couldn't even hike seven miles not impaled. You gotta go. Check it out. Links and guests on the Rod Bryan show blog page. World famous.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

We all know the work that goes into having a podcast But I need to tell you to keep working because Joe Rogan made $82 million last year. Last year?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, that's a lot of money. And last but not least, I also loved this story this morning. Marcus Mumford is not allowed to listen to music. Music in his home. Like the lead singer of Mumford and Sons. Like, music is so important to him in his life, but his wife does not allow it.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm waiting for Emma Middleton to make a announcement that her husband's not allowed to watch Giants games anymore.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Football.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He actually was on a podcast and told a really funny story. He said he can't do background music because if the music's on, he wants to lean in and he wants to listen in, and he can't switch that part of his brain off. So Terry, his wife, doesn't like having music in their house because he won't, like, talk or have a conversation or focus on anything besides the music.

[Rod Ryan]

Much like this show, if you think about it. Alex can explain this to you on another level. This show, there's always something playing in the background. There's music. We're never just talking dry. You never hear the Rod Ryan show like this, where we're just sitting, cutting up. There's nothing in the background. That's like my house. There's always music on. There's always something on.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

But you're not listening to it really, are you?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I don't know, but you aren't.

[Rod Ryan]

It's on the tv. Music, there's always. It's. There's never dead air in my house. I live my life. I live my life with no dead air. Let alone this radio show, the Mumford

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

and Sons tour stuff. I don't know if y' all have seen any of the videos that have put out, but they're on tour with camp and just that looks like the most fun tour. Every time I see a video I'm like that. I wish I was at that show right now.

[Rod Ryan]

I saw them at one of those alternative iHeart shows. Like it was like, you know, three, four songs. They were so great.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I saw him at Railroad Revival Tour there with they were with Old Crow Medicine show and Edward Sharp of the Magnetic Zeros. It was awesome. And they were one of the best bands I've ever seen live.

[Rod Ryan]

Thanks for calling, bro. Should have taken me those circus.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I wasn't on this show. I did not know you.

[Rod Ryan]

I would have picked up.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You're like, who?

[Rod Ryan]

Who is this? I'm the guy, Alex. I'm down the hall. You don't know me, but down the hall you should come with me to this show.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

[Kenny the Cash Man]

of the fridge cuz I already had one on.

[Rod Ryan]

That's not even your first one.

18 times he's been caller number 10 over the years. Really something, making him the all time winningest free beer Friday player ever. Robbie.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yes, sir.

[Rod Ryan]

I love you, bro.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Congratulations. I love you too.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Say, tell Alex not to get too

[Rod Ryan]

mad because I remember back when y' all did Linkin park crawling and neither person could get it right. And Alex said they gave you the

[Kenny the Cash Man]

name as soon as this thing started

[Rod Ryan]

and y' all ended up having to play three songs that day.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

We never again will play three songs.

[Rod Ryan]

I. You know what?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You're right.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

He's.

[Rod Ryan]

What Robbie's talking about is the suburb Summer Sizzler. I blocked that one out.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

We didn't have rules then.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I. The rules.

[Rod Ryan]

I remember. Yeah, I. I know.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

You made the rules up because you

[Rod Ryan]

were aggravated as hell. We shouldn't even be talking like this. But I remember Bush come down playing for about a minute and a half and nobody said anything. Sorry.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

That.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, we're not talking about that. The Sizzler is going to be great today, Robbie. Let's celebrate you. It's win number 18. Thank you very much. Tell the Wiz he's doing great. He always plays every anis and Caesar together. I don't know how they didn't get the Caesar song yesterday. I don't know how they didn't get that either. All right, Robbie, you're the man. Have an awesome weekend. He's on beer two. He's on beer number two. Mo.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Of course. Beer number two.

[Rod Ryan]

Cracking a beer on the air. The winningest person in free beer Friday history. Okay, I. I don't have time right now. I want to give you guys an update. There is so many. So much to catch you up on with what's happening. And it all started with a first phone call. The first phone call after we gave away the beer. At 6 o', clock, AJ and Brooke came on. AJ came on and he said him and Brooke are going to donate a thousand dollars on this very, very last day. I didn't have this planned. He's like, I want to throw a thousand dollars dollars in. And I just wanted to tell everybody, hey, if you can reach deep, it's the last day. If you can get in there, I can't wait to share with you what's happening in the. In the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store. I'll give you an update coming up. Okay?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Just.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm unbelievable. Thank you. Tomorrow is backpack day, so I'll catch you up on some of that stuff as well. But we'll be with our friends of over at Houston Children's Charity. And then, geez, while I'm thinking about it, it's Elizabeth's last day. It's her last day. Like, yeah, her last day is today. And she's peaceing out the day before the hottest day in the world, which I'm sure I don't know what it says on the calendar or the. On the thermometer, but it's traditionally the hottest day of the year when we're passing out those backpacks. So shout out to Elizabeth, man, thank you for all the years working with you at Houston Children's Charity. They're going to miss you, but we're going to miss you the most for sure. Quick break. When we come back at a rec check for you, we'll find out what's trending and then we'll get. But we'll get some tickets in your hands to get into the Motley Crue Show, Houston's Rock, Houston's Alternative, and the Rod Ryan morning show, the Buzz 94. 5. The Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Robbie the beer winner, huh? 18 times he's been a free beer Friday. Beer winner. That's in 20 years.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

That's pretty good.

[Rod Ryan]

It's taken him that time to get in there to win that beer. Good for him, man. I got some Motley tickets coming up for you. I'm boycotting the weather. I'm not talking about it. I'm not talking about it. I don't know when it's raining, when it's not. I don't know. There's people that get paid to do that. I don't even know what you call it is what we do here. I, I, I got a guy that knows what's trending.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And that's Alex. What's trending?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Zenai is trending.

[Rod Ryan]

I told you.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Very hot. Right now.

[Rod Ryan]

She's in everything.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

She is not. She's in Spider Man. Tom Holland is the star of Spider man, but she is trending higher than Tom Holland right now because she's in diet. And whenever Zendaya does anything, he'll talk about it. So Brand New Day is out now.

[Rod Ryan]

She's in that Odyssey movie. She was just recently in Dune, which

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

is in the tennis movie where they had the threesome.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I missed that one.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know that one.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

It was up for a bunch of awards.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. And then today on HBO Max, the streaming premiere of the drama. Drama. Who do you think that's starring? Zendaya.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Wait, it premieres today? Yes. That's wild.

[Rod Ryan]

Her and Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson's been busy, too. Yeah. He was also an odyssey, also in Potter and Twilight.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Died in a Tree wizard tournament.

[Rod Ryan]

Voldemort killed him. So, yeah, it's Zendaya's world. We're living in it. What else?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Aman Green is trending. The former packers and at one point, Texans rang back, announced yesterday he has Parkinson's disease. 49 years old. I feel like we're seeing a lot of, like, Chris Johnson, all these guys coming out that, like the, the guys that I watched growing up having all of these, these afflictions from the, from the game.

[Rod Ryan]

And then everybody's asking, is it game related in some way?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You have to think that it's going to somewhat be related to it. Jonathan Taylor Thomas is also trending. JTT reunited with two of his Home Improvement co stars. Patricia Richardson played the mom and then Taryn. Noah Smith played Mark in the show.

[Rod Ryan]

His little brother.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

His little brother. Yeah. And he was hanging out with them.

[Rod Ryan]

They aged.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

They definitely aged a lot.

[Rod Ryan]

The little brother looks wild.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Long hair.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

We were talking about Macaulay Culkin. It just like he looks like Macaulay Culkin now. You would imagine he would age. I would not have imagined that they would have aged the way that they have aged. I'm not saying they look awful or anything like that.

[Rod Ryan]

Like that.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

But Jonathan Taylor Thomas making a rare.

[Rod Ryan]

A rare appearance. Yeah. He's gone out of his way to stay away from the camera.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

He's kind of been behind the camera. I think he's done some director stuff since, but. Yeah, he never really wanted to be on the. In front of the camera. But that's what's trending at 94 the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

It's crazy. I think he. He got that Lion King money and didn't need to do anything.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He was on the COVID of all of my magazines growing up.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I'll be home for Christmas movie he was in. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Give away some tickets and then I want to jump around a little bit.

[Commercial Announcer]

Okay.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Hopefully I'm not too late for you to jump around with me a little bit. Let's do it. Come on. As you're calling for those crew tickets. How's the pain? Jump around. Pack it up.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

[Rod Ryan]

Almost as much as Robbie. I got another case of beer coming up for you at 8:00 and at 9:00'.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Clock.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not lost on me that Robbie, the all time champion of free beer Friday, 7 o'. Clock. Back up to 6 o'. Clock. She'd never even been on the show before. Oh, yeah. Johnnica Jonica Jonica.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

She had never even been on the

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

show before, but she's been trying.

[Rod Ryan]

She'd been trying. Never called in, never. Never made it through. She's been calling for a long time, but. So you got somebody first time. You got the. The greatest beer winner of all time. Back to back. That's how it works, man. That's why I love that open phone so much. We're going to do that in the last hour. You just don't know what's going to happen. I put, I put. Press that button. It's like, okay, what is this person? Who is this person? I'm fascinated with every person that calls into this show. Like, right now. I gotta know who I'm about to talk to. I have no idea who I'm about to talk to. Good morning. Rod Ryan show.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Good morning.

Hey, this is Victoria. Hey, what's up, girl?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Good morning.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's be best friends. Let's just be best friends.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

She's mine.

[Rod Ryan]

No, Victoria's mine.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay, fine.

[Rod Ryan]

She's my best friend.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Victoria, you can Decide.

[Rod Ryan]

You're calling 10.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

That sounds good.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay. So which one of us are you taking? The Motley Crew with you.

[Rod Ryan]

She's taking me.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's more fun, probably. Rod.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm way more fun.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

September 11th in the Woodlands. Victoria, congratulations.

[Rod Ryan]

That's awesome.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Thank you.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Awesome. I can't wait.

[Rod Ryan]

Now, you've been on the show with us before, right?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I, I.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

You know what? I don't remember ever winning anything. I might have won Beer Friday, like,

[Rod Ryan]

when I was 20.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I'm 100, so it's been a while.

[Commercial Announcer]

21.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

She means 21, obviously. We're so pumped to have you.

[Rod Ryan]

That's awesome.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

All right.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Welcome back.

[Rod Ryan]

Long overdue Victoria tickets. Have a great time. Motley Crew, Tesla Extreme. Get in early. I keep talking about those opening bands. Both of them still great. Great. Still sound great. They look great. You got original members, you know, in these bands. And these are not these. These are bands that are out there that are still getting it done and that have aged well. Both Extreme and Tesla. And then there's Motley Crue, who are the headliners. Okay.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Bucket List show.

[Rod Ryan]

So. Wow. What a day.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You gotta tell us.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, AJ snuck in a quick phone call after we gave away the first case of beer. Normally, we don't do the first phone call on Friday is the beer winner. And then AJ came in and dropped in again. Him and Brooke. AJ was on this morning and said, listen, I know it's the last day Rod, and you've already done everything. And I want to thank a bunch of people that have helped us out this. This summer. It's been a great summer. Not over, but it's backpacks. Tomorrow is when we give them out. So AJ and Brooke come in, and I don't know, for five years now. He's like, listen, I. It's the last day. It's Friday. People getting paid today. Can I put a challenge out there to your listeners? I'm like, you're on the radio. I can't tell you no. Now the toothpaste is out of the tube. What are you going to do? He's like, I want to. I want to put $1,000 in the store. And he goes, I just want to give a shout out to anybody that may be getting paid. It's the last day. Maybe you just didn't get a wrap or down to it. Maybe you got a little extra and you can throw something in there today. He goes, maybe. Maybe the listeners cumulatively could match my $1,000.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Nice.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

So generous.

[Rod Ryan]

I go, you know what? Thank you. I go, aj, Brooke, thank you. You guys are so incredibly generous. Now I'm looking at the store because I can see, like, all the activity in the store, and there's just. My goodness, so much, much activity. So I just. I pull up Today's date. So AJ's on the air with us at about 6. About 6:08. 6:08-60-9. This is the beauty. This is why I love radio so much, and I still love it after all these years. Let's see. Let me pull up. Today is the 31st, 29. Gosh, so many orders. I'm trying to get there. Should have had this set. Okay. Okay, here we go. So July 31, 6, 17. Nikki Talley heard AJ on the air, like, 8. Not even 10 minutes later. Eight or nine minutes later, after hearing AJ on the air, she dropped $100 in there. Now, I don't know if she was going to do that today.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Like, she wasn't planning on it.

[Commercial Announcer]

It wasn't.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. I'd like to think because she heard aging on the air, she's like, you know what? He. He's right.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Boom.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I just got goosebumps. So, yeah, I think you're right.

[Rod Ryan]

Milk. Everything's so expensive right now. Everyone's coming at you. She put $100 in there within eight minutes of hearing AJ on the air.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

That's awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. And then ever got in there. And then at 6:18 this morning, I saw. Bro, Brad stop it. Who has already been so incredibly generous.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

We were just talking about him on Wednesday.

[Rod Ryan]

He put 500 in there not that long ago.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

He put 500 for backpacks. Just go buy backpacks. He's already got our T shirts and everything.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Maybe Wednesday.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

This week.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I feel like he did it. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

So hearing that Ashley with an eye, those are the two biggest donors in the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store. Okay. They're so, so generous hearing that Ashley went in and put $540 in the store.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah. On Wednesday to buy backpacks.

[Rod Ryan]

It was after. She's like, oh, because.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Take that, Brad.

[Rod Ryan]

Because I'm not sure where they're at. They're both like 1 and 2.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's very sweet.

[Rod Ryan]

They're both 1 and 2. As far as, like, all time donors in the store. So Ashley, not to be outdone, she didn't do the 501. She did $540. So two extra back, you know, 500 plus two backpacks.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay, cool.

[Rod Ryan]

Just to outdo Brad, just in case, like, hey, I want to make sure that I'm number one. Brad goes in at 17 minutes after the hour this morning, 10 minutes after hearing AJ and he dropped another $540.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Brad, wait. 540? The same.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

She matched athletes.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, my God, y'.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

All.

[Rod Ryan]

It's outrageous. Thank you. What do these people do for a living?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I don't know, but they have the best and the biggest heart.

[Rod Ryan]

So then I know AJ as AJ. Yeah, I see. I said I go to Mo. I go, there's no way AJ's name is Shannon, is it?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Because we're, like, talking it through.

[Rod Ryan]

AJ's money hadn't hit the store yet. And I saw there's no.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

There's no s in AJ.

[Rod Ryan]

Shannon. No Shannon. Eads went in and dropped $1,000.

[Commercial Announcer]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

In the store this morning.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

And I thought, that's not aj, is it this morning? Maybe AJ goes by another name. It wasn't until just before 7 o' clock that I saw AJ had dropped his money in there. So Shannon is another one that just came in with a thousand dollars this morning.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I didn't know this is how Friday was gonna be.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, I can't draw it up. When I say thank you on the radio, it sounds so not enough. I. I cannot believe you guys. This stuff cannot be scripted. I mean, everybody, Russell, Roxanna, there's aj. And that makes sense.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

His name,

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

it starts with an A. There's no Shannon in it.

[Rod Ryan]

Greg, Jose, there's no Shannon.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

And AJ at all.

[Rod Ryan]

Awesome. A Amy, I can't. I can't thank you guys enough. It really is. It's an unbelievable thing that you all are doing. I mean, obviously, you know, AJ's thousand dollar challenge boom met and then exceeded. So if you go back, we started this in the beginning of the summer. Our first angel kind of donator was Willy's. Remember, we had Willie's night. And that goes all the way back to June 3rd.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Holy moly.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, June 3rd on Wednesday. Wednesday. Then the following week, I had somebody kind of fall through. So that's when I put up the challenge. I put $10,000 up and I said, can you guys match $10,000? I never asked that before. And you guys went way over. So we did. We did my 10.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And then you guys spent well over 10 in the store that day. Texas Hammer was in for five. Whataburger was in for seven. 500. On the 2024th, Top Dog fireworks came in for five. The circus we got the five. Joe Myers Toyota Match day was just Wednesday. So we're, you know, just another amazing summer. Just an amazing summer with you guys. Thank you. I don't think there is another. I can't imagine. I don't listen to other shows, so I don't know, but I can't imagine another show that asks so much of the listeners and they keep showing up time after time after time. Thank you for that.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Just. I can't. I can't believe what I'm looking at right now. It's. It's crazy. Thank you guys so much. It's been a fun summer. We're going to pass out those backpacks tomorrow. And you've really done a great thing helping out these kids that really need some help. 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Free beer Friday. Another case of beer coming your way. Straight up at 8 o'. Clock. Suburb Summer Sizzler. Erase. Erase. I'm not worried about yesterday. Erase.

Erase. Montgomery. Timothy Marshall from Montgomery and Gary.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Who?

[Rod Ryan]

Come. Come with the kick drum. Gary. Gary, I think emailed yesterday and just said, would you please pass this along to Alex? He can't spell alexebuzz.com he wanted to.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Rod's much easier.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm like Alex's little messenger and his little birdie. He said, please assure Alex that I will be yelling out my name during the Suburb Summer Sizzler tomorrow. Do you feel assured he's Representing West Columbia.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I'm not the one that's missing out on money when they do this. This was them doing this themselves.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, so we got a great matchup for you at 8:20. Beer at the top of the hour, guys. We're kind of just getting rolling here.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

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

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

6 to 10am, 94. 5 the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. That's Linkin Park. Hey guys, we're just coming up on the halfway point. That means another case of beer is coming your way. And then we'll get right Suburb Summer Sizzler. Can't wait. I'm still excited about it. Nothing. Everything's been erased from yesterday. They're getting a bye week. That, that, that game. Whoever was slated to play the winner of yesterday's game. There's no other way. We kind of determined that that person is getting a bye week. I guess we could talk more about that in the 8 o' clock hour. I'm looking like Alex kind of gives me some weather here. And then Mo just always talking about other things. So I'm going to let Mo take over.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I know.

[Rod Ryan]

Don't listen. I don't mind giving up jobs.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I read a lot.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

A lot of meteorological information.

[Rod Ryan]

That sounds like you don't know what you're talking about. Mo, what do you got for Houston's headlines?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Tomorrow's August and we have no heat relief on the way. A little summer front's gonna blow in for a chance of showers, even thunderstorms on Saturday.

[Rod Ryan]

Listen up. John Cougar, though, for that there's only a chance. Like what's the chance of rain?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I don't know. I really have no idea. You said 10% and it seems like more than that because we wouldn't mention it. Girls on TV are telling me otherwise.

[Rod Ryan]

You wouldn't put together a whole package for 10% chance of rain.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's gonna feel like 107 today. And the highest chance for rain comes Saturday evening. Got it. Today's a day in Texas where we are banning several THC products, several hemp derived THC cannabis products. Delta 8, Delta 10 variants are no longer going to be sold in stores and people in possession of them could face jail time and fines. Delta 9 THC, the most common sold in products around Texas, is going to remain legal in low doses. For me. This is the headline I read that really hit me. Cannabis experts say today's ban could remove more than half of the THC products off of some Stores, shelves.

[Rod Ryan]

What are they expected to do, throw

[Commercial Announcer]

it away or did everyone go and buy it yesterday?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Did they have, is there a big half off, half off sale at your place?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

They have fireworks.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I don't think it works that way.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I mean is there a limit of how much you can buy in a day?

[Rod Ryan]

Can you grandfather in what you already had?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

We've already got it on the shelves first.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Like I don't like government place like that.

[Rod Ryan]

I, I, yeah, I don't know how any of this works really.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

It's.

[Rod Ryan]

I think we're all going to look upon this and laugh someday, right when it's legalized Everywhere. Right now, 24 states are legal for recreational marijuana. Because I know that from talking about it earlier this week.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

All right.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I laughed out loud when you me showed, showed me this next story that the Average parent loses 6,858 minutes a year driving their kids around.

[Rod Ryan]

My kids, godparents, their children play travel ball.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, wow.

[Rod Ryan]

So they're in Louisiana and they're playing games in Mississippi and all over the

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

place on every weekend.

[Rod Ryan]

They're all over the place. There's three girls that all play travel ball.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Three?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Now the third one's just starting to play T ball.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah. So this is 40 minutes a day crap is fraudulent, but it does add up to 15 eight hour work days a year, all spent behind the wheel. The survey is timely. We know back to school starts in a weekish and back to school season makes life feel a lot more hectic in a lot of.

[Rod Ryan]

And there's those parents that drive those kids all over the place for cheer competitions and cheering at the cheer gym yesterday.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Rod.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh boy. Your kid's gonna be in the cheerleading.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That's what I did when I was a child.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you travel?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

The competitions.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I wanted everything else for her in her life besides cheer. And here we are.

[Rod Ryan]

Did it involve getting on a plane and going to places like Disney and stuff?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, everybody goes to Disney for cheer.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Look at this right here.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Stay away.

[Rod Ryan]

Look at me right now.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That's where you go. That is the place you go.

[Rod Ryan]

There was one, there was one trip.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

And they film it sometimes and then it'll be on ESPN like six months later.

[Rod Ryan]

The year that I was in marching band, there was some competition somewhere, but you had to pay your own way.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

And you rode a bus, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Well, they rode a bus.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, you didn't get to go?

[Rod Ryan]

They offered, they offered for us to sell oranges.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I was going to say cookie dough wrapped in paper.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

A lot of people are usually in the market for oranges.

[Rod Ryan]

You could buy a case of oranges.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

And I was looking to buy 500 oranges.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Sell mattresses down the street from me.

[Rod Ryan]

My dad bought a case.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And my mom bought a case. And that wasn't enough to go on the trip.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

So you stay at home.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't go. I didn't go. I like. Who did my part? I don't know. I don't know how it worked. I didn't go. I know I didn't go on a trip.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Bobby didn't sell, like, an extra case to, like, help you.

[Rod Ryan]

My grandma bought a case of oranges. I sold three cases of oranges. And that wasn't enough to get on the bus. Yeah, they didn't do the thing.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Like in football, if we didn't sell enough of whatever it was, like, all the people that didn't meet their goal had to like, all right, well, you're staying after school, then we're all going to the neighborhoods around school afterwards until you sell your number, wash some extra cars. But that was. That was the whole thing. They didn't make y' all do that or they didn't make the rest of the. The band just do it.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Like, help.

[Rod Ryan]

Listen, my situation sounds flat out not organized. I don't know, dude. They left me oranges.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Does sound like somebody. Like a scam somebody. No time to sell orange. I'll give you a good deal.

[Rod Ryan]

I think I went to a couple of houses and just gave up. Nobody was buying. Yeah.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

If let me just try and sell these fruit at my door, I would never buy it.

[Rod Ryan]

Crap. I'm not going. Go without me. Just go.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Can we talk about Clueless? Please?

[Rod Ryan]

Just go.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I want to hear more about the oranges. God, so sad.

[Rod Ryan]

Questions. Have fun without me. How do you want to go? That trip sucks. I'm not going. Who played your part?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That is so weird.

[Rod Ryan]

Who played my part? I said that.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Great question.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's official. Alicia Silverstone is going to return as Cher for a Clueless sequel series. And it's gonna be on Paramount plus. If this is ringing any sort of bell, it's because last year this was in the works at Peacock and it got scrapped. Before that, they were gonna do like a shares BFF mystery series, and that also didn't work out, but this one on Paramount plus is going to take place 30 movie. Cher is going to be a successful business owner and a mom, and she's also going to serve as executive producer. So if You're a fan of the movie. Nostalgia sells.

[Rod Ryan]

Is this the second time this is coming around? Didn't this kind of come up?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

And then peacock.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, the peacock one didn't pick it up.

[Rod Ryan]

Right. Okay. Because then Buffy also.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, yeah. Is around the same time when they both got.

[Rod Ryan]

Aren't we waiting for someone to breathe some life and to pick up that Buffy project. Nobody's picked that one up, though. It must have been bad.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

This next one is a mashup that no one saw coming or cared about, really. The Smashing Pumpkins and Greg Brady on stage.

[Rod Ryan]

Where were you?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Lola Palooza? Lollapalooza. Wednesday night in Chicago. Barry Williams got on stage and did this song. It's Sunshine Bay. All right, Shirley, I think I'll go for.

[Rod Ryan]

I was. I was. I was putzing with this a little bit this morning, and I played just a. Like, two seconds of it, and Mo goes, that's the Brady Bunch. Like, you knew this.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Do you want to hear.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I was allowed to watch the Brady Bunch growing up.

[Rod Ryan]

Do you want to hear Barry Williams?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, you have the actual clip?

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Seen it.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I've got it. You got the Smashing Pumpkins backup singers that are kind of doing the. Kind of doing some of the Brady moves and stuff. Yeah. When he's singing by himself, it's awful.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He's 71. Oh, look at him go.

[Rod Ryan]

I think he was on Dancing with the Stars recently.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. He's kind of see the one that bought the house floating around. No, he didn't have the money for that.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Well, who was it that bought. One of the Brady Bunch guys bought,

[Rod Ryan]

like, Instinct bought the house.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

But they.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

He did it with one of the Brady Bunch kids. Right.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

They were like.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

He did a reality modeling it.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

I asked him. I interviewed him several times. He used to do a lot of radio back in the day. He was in studio with us, and I wrote all these liners for him. Hey, it's Barry Williams. You know me from the Brady Bunch. You're listening to the Rod Ryan Show. He was cool with that. Then I wrote a bunch where it said, hey, it's Barry Williams. Yeah, and you're in the garage working on your bike with the Rod Ryan show.

[Commercial Announcer]

And I.

[Rod Ryan]

The Buzz. Every episode of the Brady Bunch, they're always fixing their bikes and stuff.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And he looked at me, he goes, these are a little Brady heavy Daggett at this point. Like, bro, all you've ever done.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

He goes, he did the one where he said he's from the Brady Bunch. But all the things, it's like, you know, I just plugged Marsha in the face with a football. All that stuff. He wouldn't say. He, he big timed me.

[Commercial Announcer]

Ew.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

He goes, these are a little Brady heavy. I'm actually from Smashing Pumpkins.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, dude.

[Rod Ryan]

And then he just goes out and makes a fool of himself in this, in this live performance. But he wouldn't say he was working on bicycles in the garage listening to the Rod Ryan show. He wouldn't say it. He might say it now, maybe. All right, what do you got?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

In sports, Astros are gonna be back in action tonight. They're gonna open up a weekend series with the Rangers at Dyken Park. They're just a game back out of first place behind the Rangers.

Keep up the good work, dad. Enjoy your beers.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

All right.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. My splash pad days are behind me. Yeah, it was. There's one in Buffalo. And sue was like, hey, there's a new one. Are they charging admission to some splash pads now?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I think that helps.

[Rod Ryan]

I think this is one great. And I'm like, I don't mind. And then London's like, eh.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

She wants the big slides.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. We don't have to go.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Mind if you want.

[Rod Ryan]

We don't have to go. That's fine. It just happens. It happens.

[Commercial Announcer]

Stop.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

We're.

[Rod Ryan]

That's right. No, just kidding. I was just kidding. I didn't want to go anyways.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

We're too big for splash pants. God, how did that happen? Alex, What if. Going to throw this out there?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Oh, geez.

[Rod Ryan]

Cuz, we. We talked about like, given. You know, yesterday we had no winner. When you look at the brackets, boom. You got to move along. Is there any way to tack on an extra game before we move into the inner workings of the brackets? It's our schedule.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

So mad.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm just asking. This is your show.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

It's not the Alex Middleton show. It's Rod.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not true. It's all of our shows.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Rod Ryan show is the name of

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

the show, but you mean like time wise, like dates?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, it's our end date, technically. If we're ending it on a Friday, would we have to do like a double day game?

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not talking about what's out. What. What I'm not even considering would be playing two games in one day. That's. That would be.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

So you would just move the final back another day?

[Rod Ryan]

Just push everything back a day.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Would that make it like on a Monday?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't. I. I don't know when the last show. When the last game is, but is that an option?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

They can't be from. Where were they from? Nobody from

[Rod Ryan]

Spring Branch.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Not allowed.

[Rod Ryan]

Spring Branch and Parand dead.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Dead to me.

[Rod Ryan]

Condemn an entire. I think we can. We literally.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

We literally eliminate that from the map. They both are eliminated. Spring Branch apparently not eligible. This is the ruling. I also think it'd be fair to let whoever wins today just move on, get a buy. They didn't choose nobody to buzz in yesterday, but this is your show. So if you want to bring in two. Two more suburbs. As long as Paralynd and Spring Branch are not allowed.

[Rod Ryan]

You've been here long enough. You're fully vested now, so you can take part in the decision making. We don't have to do it on air right now.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I'm just. Chill's gonna have to do more work, and I don't want to make my buddy chilly.

[Rod Ryan]

I just didn't think about.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

About that. It just.

[Rod Ryan]

It puts us in a little bit of a pinch because I make some

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

of the money now.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

People that win the buy or, like, get the bye week end up winning the whole thing. You're never gonna get to the end of that.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I get a cut?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, because they. They play.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, well, they didn't have to play. Yeah, that's something to think about.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, well, listen, I said I was gonna erase.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You said that you had it figured out.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm just trying to. I want to do the right thing. Oh.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Always.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm obsessed with trying to do the right thing. I know that. We got a great game lined up for you. Montgomery West Columbia. You come in here and you come in to play. You come in to play great today. Okay, let's get Timothy and Gary on the phone with us. We'll get them on. We'll meet them after the break.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

[Rod Ryan]

5 the Buzz. Good morning. Rod Ryan's show. Free beer Friday, one case of BE and then that's it. I cannot. I thought we. I can't believe we don't have a Greg Brady. He's in the news. You're talking about him in Houston's headlines.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

The actor who played Greg Brady, Barry Williams. I know. We have him saying, hi, it's Barry Williams, and you're listening to the Rod Ryan Show. I can't find it. I can't find. We have everybody. Why don't we play this police anymore?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

I remember Kevin Nash, the wrestler. Yeah, he was wasted. He was. Take a listen. If I remember correctly, he was completely drunk when he came in.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

It's a big, sexy Kevin Nash from tna. And you're listening to Free Beer Friday from Rob Ryan on 94. Five, the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

You think I was gonna say my name's Rod and not Rob?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Do you think. Do you think for he just blinked

[Rod Ryan]

and moved on, you think even for one second, hey, dude, you're huge and drunk. Would you say my name correctly? I'm like, perfect. That's a take.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Nailed it.

[Rod Ryan]

That's a wrap.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Great job.

[Rod Ryan]

Wonderful. Holy cow. This is so fun. Looking at all these. I'm. I don't know what happened to Greg Brady. Maybe did we ban him after he wouldn't do the Brady Bunch ones.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I don't know. This was before my time on. So it wasn't on me for not loading. If it was me, definitely in there.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. Suburb Summer Sizzler coming up. But first, Alex, what's trending?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Rod Ryan show Care Store did not expect to see this trending this morning, but our first. First person we Talked to today, AJ and Brooke have donated $1,000 and wanted to challenge people to match them. And it looks like people are stepping up today.

[Rod Ryan]

So Brandon is in there. What a backpack, I believe. Okay. Allison spent 74 bucks. Michael Blackburn dropped $300 in there today.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Thank you, Michael.

[Rod Ryan]

This is found money is not what we were doing last day.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I wasn't.

[Rod Ryan]

We weren't doing a bit today. Like, it was. I'm like, enough of asking for money. So he drops $1,000. Shannon drops $1,000, bro. Brad drops 550. And then I'm just kind of scrolling, scrolling. Sarah, I'm sorry. If you don't want your name on the air, I'm just. I'll go first. Names then. Some people don't want this. Sarah. $720.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

She donated $720 this morning. People are on our last day. I. I can't believe it. So you're right. The Rob Rein show Care Store is trending, and it wasn't supposed to be. It is just such an unbelievable. I. We are so blessed to have this audience. What else?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

George and Amal Clooney are trending. They had to evacuate their house in France because of wildfires in the area.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

And then Baker Mayfield is trending. The Buccaneers quarterback says he feels disrespected starting the season with no new contracts. He's set to become a free agent, and he was hoping he was going to get a new deal going into this year. He is going to play on no new deal. So it's. It's a put up a shut up season for him. If he balls up out there, you have to pay him a lot of money.

[Rod Ryan]

I used to hate this guy. I love him now.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I did, too. I really hated him when he was at Oklahoma. And then he just seemed really cool.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't remember anybody in the history of anybody that I've turned around so much on. He really was such a punk ass. And then he came into the league, and I'm like, oklahoma.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

For some reason, maybe that was why. But he seemed like a dude. And I was like, all right, well, I can't hate a guy on the Browns, really. Except for Deshawn Watson.

[Rod Ryan]

He was poised to be another Manzel. In and out.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Very much so.

[Rod Ryan]

You thought. And it. He balls.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

He.

[Rod Ryan]

He's a player, man. He's fun.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

He gets hurt. He plays like a hurt shoulder. He's. He's a cool dude at Super S.

[Rod Ryan]

I cannot believe how much I turned around on that.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

And those commercials where he lived at the Brown Stadium.

[Rod Ryan]

Those were funny. Very funny. All right, we're playing today. We're playing today. Are we moving the brackets around? I don't know.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

Now, wizards on an email.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, geez.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, well, that makes sense. We might be able to do

[Kenny the Cash Man]

me

[Rod Ryan]

get up my graph.

[Commercial Announcer]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

We don't know anything about Tim. Hey, Tim. Good morning.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Good morning.

[Rod Ryan]

Hi, Tim. How are you? I'm doing good.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

How are you?

[Rod Ryan]

Great. A lot of people in Montgomery, dude, counting on you right now to rep them.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yes, they are.

[Rod Ryan]

I refuse. Now, I'm just gonna say this. You do what you want. You do you. Tim, I want you to win today. I want you to do what's comfortable. I don't know if you're on a speakerphone or a Bluetoothy thing or whatever. I can hear you fine. I want you to be safe.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Be driving right now.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

No, sir.

[Rod Ryan]

No, sir. Okay. I'm just saying I want, I want the best version of Tim to play this game. So, Tim, you're repping. Repping Montgomery. And have you been practicing? How'd you get ready for the game today?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Just practice along with the radio.

[Rod Ryan]

Good for you. Good for you. Dude, I heard from Gary yesterday. He sent an email after that thing that we're not talking about yesterday. We're not talking about it. He goes, just assure your man Alex I'm in there today. I, I'll be there for you.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Those are big words. Scare Bear.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, Gary. Good morning.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Morning.

[Rod Ryan]

I, I, I was to. Trying, trying. I, I, I was hoping that your email was going to help. I don't know. The dude was a race car in the red yesterday, so it did help. It did help. Gary, have you been practicing to make a bold statement? Like, don't worry, I'll be shouting out my name. You just. Maybe you're trying to psych out Tim.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Practicing.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. He's been practicing.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He's feeling good.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Definitely practicing.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, well, you're repping West Columbia. This is the suburb Summer Sizzler. For the love of God, put a song in there that's very popular. Please, no B sides. They're all songs we play on the bus. No European b Sides, nobody knows that. See their song?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah, we play it on the bus.

[Rod Ryan]

Maybe we should play the choruses, not the beginnings.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Different game. Very different.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, here we go. Tim, are you ready to hear the song that we have picked up for you today?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Ready.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, Gary, are you ready?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Rock and roll.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

You know that you're going to be shouting out your name when you think you know the song title and the band. I'm listening for Gary. And we're listening for Tim. Suburb Summer Sizzler. Game 10. Here is your song. Gary, Gary, Gary.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Sublime. Sanaa.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yep.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait a minute.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Good job, guys.

[Rod Ryan]

That's how you play the game.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Now, that song. Hang on a second. That was dirty. That song's got some Chris and Nick from yesterday.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Their heads are just spinning.

[Rod Ryan]

That's got. That song's got some history on this.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Why show. What happened?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Elle missed it. Sangria.

[Rod Ryan]

Sangria.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

She said sangria.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I've heard she yelled out sangria.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

This is like something that still haunts Alex.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, it's because I knew she knew it, and I couldn't give it to her. But Gary nailed it. Tim, you were right behind him, too. Two real good players today, Tim. You knew the song. I mean, you said your name. You knew it. Sir, I. I had it.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

He just beat me to it.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, he gotcha. All right. Montgomery, just like that, is out. And come. Come with the kick drum. And Gary with the kick drum called his shot.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

He delivered.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. You know what? You whipped your balls out yesterday if you didn't win today. Dude, let me tell you, I would have. I would have. I would have broke it in half if you didn't win today.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

Great job. Way to finish off the week. The Suburb Summer Sizzler. Gary, West Columbia is in it to win it from Shell Federal Credit Union. He's one bracket closer to the $5,000. It's another summer with the Rod Ryan show. So stay inside and stay cool on 94. Five the buzz.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the buzz. Good morning. R Sublime. Not Sangria. Santaria. That was the song today. And congratulations to Gary, who, you know, I'm just going to say he stepped up yesterday to just make sure that we knew his name, that he was playing today. But he came through. He came through. He said he's been practicing. I have noticed the people that said that they have practiced before they came into the suburb Summers Sizzler. They seem to be doing better than the people that are winging it. But then I think people said they practiced yesterday. I'm not talking about yesterday, though. No, I'm.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Never again.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm a guy that's moving forward. Always moving forward. Or am I?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

We've got some stuff to figure out.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, I don't like to go back. Homeroom is very sacred to me. I. You know those people that get up really early and you're there for us in that first hour and we pack that hour every day. All the stuff that we've got going on. Fresh out of bed. Captain Cash. I dropped some fun facts on you every morning and I threw out some dates and I've been getting asked about it all morning long.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

What are you talking about? Oh, the first. Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

What? Like it. Who's gonna live longer and who's going to die sooner. Based on science, solar something or other.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

If you were born during a solar something, I'm gonna.

[Rod Ryan]

Normally I'm just like, you know what? Just keep doing what you're doing. You're at work. There's a lot of people at work now, and it's like we're kind of background music. I'm gonna ask you to listen to the words that I'm saying today, right now. I don't normally do this, but because. So I'm just gonna. Brandy is like. Rod, here's what I caught on my commute into work this morning. 1963, bad. 1964, good. I was born in 1964. My brother, who I've already made arrangements with to take care of my dogs if something was to happen to me. He's 63. You said that he's going down first.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Oh, crap.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

What is she talking. Everyone got caught up. They were list half listening this morning, too. I'm going to repeat a fun fact that I don't do. Mo getting out a piece of paper. Get a piece of paper. She's got a number two pencil.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It is actually the fun fact this morning, and this is going to deal with a lot of our audience today. Mo heard her year this morning.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I did.

[Rod Ryan]

Was it on the good side? I said this morning, you want the good news or the bad news?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I wanted the bad news first.

[Rod Ryan]

Bad news first. People born in the the years 1957-1968-1979-1989, 2000 and 2013 will live an average of 5.2 years less why Than other people. Thanks to peaks in solar activity in those years. Apparently the UV radiation from the solar radio rays affect growth during pregnancy. So this. That's nothing you can control.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

You were in mom's belly.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Now, you said you Wanted the bad news first. I don't know what kind of person that makes you. The good news.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

All yours, Brad.

[Rod Ryan]

People born in 54, 54, 64, 76, 86, 96 and 2008 show could live the longest. You'll get a couple of extra years. Give a bell, you get a couple extra years. Thanks for being born during periods of lower solar activity.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Lower solar. I'm writing it down.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Okay, so I'm dying.

[Rod Ryan]

I wasn't on the bad list.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I was 89.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, not on the good list. 86.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't come up. My year didn't come up. So I'm just living. I'm just gonna die based on the life choices I've made.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Solar, things aren't looking good for you.

[Rod Ryan]

The sun. Unless it's just skin cancer. The sun's not playing a role in my demise. You are listening to the Rod Ryan Show. Summertime is here and I just got paid. Gonna grab something boxy and go get

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Kool Aid on 94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the Buzz. Here we go, 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show, and I will not break. Thank you guys for rolling with us. Can't wait for the last hour of the show. We got another case of beer coming up for you and then we'll go. We'll slide right into open phones. Friday, my favorite hour of radio on the radio. I've had a lot of fun hours though this week. It's been a fun week. You guys have made it really fun. Thank you. Mo, you mentioned this. It's National Avocado Day. If I mentioned your year that you're going down early, start eating avocados. Okay. Recent study. Eating an avocado every day may decrease heart disease risk in adults with obesity. So if you're chubby and I mentioned your year that you were in that weird solar year, start gnashing on some avocados every day. Now what I find the challenge to be is finding is there such a thing as would an avocado be ready every day to eat? The window is so small. When I go shopping and I try to like, I try to give London an avocado every Tuesday for Taco Tuesday.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Because you don't like them, but you don't want her to be like you.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. So I want her to eat them. There's like a four hour window that an avocado is good to eat.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It's either too early and then it tastes like ass or it's too late and it's all brown and mushy. Mushy and stuff. Like, you gotta time it out. Like, I'm buying avocados now. And I'm like, okay, I'm shopping on Monday. Tomorrow's Tuesday. I want her to eat this tomorrow. I gotta find the one. That's right. Tomorrow.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And I could. I could tell you right now, I was like, this one ain't ready. This one ain't ready. I don't know. I'm trying to be better at it.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

How do Mexican restaurants do it?

[Rod Ryan]

But, yeah, as I'm saying, because they go through so many.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, they just buy, like, cases of them.

[Rod Ryan]

Correct. So they just have them all separated. These are Tuesdays. These are going to be ready on Wednesday. It's like people, like, collecting. Collect wine. They have them all ready to go

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

for the day, 20, 27.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think you can come across an avocado every day that's in good shape to eat. But that's what they're telling you to do. Study. Brought to you by the Avocado association of America, I'm sure.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

And Alex, he just goes to Chipotle.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, he's a Chipotle guy.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

You do avocados on your own?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

How do you eat them? Just an avocado, like a maniac. And just eat it with a spoon like you're eating a bowl of ice cream.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah. Nice little treat.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You're a Costco guy.

[Rod Ryan]

I was this week.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You know, you can buy avocado in a cup with, like, a. That you would put in, like, a lunchbox. So it's already done.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You can just buy a whole avocado cut in half and do the same thing.

[Rod Ryan]

No, listen, you're doing an Aldi to me. Did you see what they got caught doing?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Oh, the ice cubes.

[Rod Ryan]

They're selling ice cubes.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Wait, what?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You know, whiskey ones. Like, the big ones, dude. But Oldie was selling them for, like, six bucks.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Like, there's not the mold. They're selling the actual ice.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

The actual. It was already done for you, so you didn't have to make it.

[Rod Ryan]

So everybody wants to, like, have it here somewhere. A few weeks ago, Aldi debuted.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

A box of four ice cubes for 4.99.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

If people are gonna pay for it, good for them.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Dude.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's for, like, a party.

[Rod Ryan]

This is like when people bought, like, unwrapped oranges. I'm like, if it. Only if it came in its own. Its own casing. Oh, wait a minute. It does. You don't need to. You don't need to like have they called them fruit and vegetable butchers and now they have that in the.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

In the grocery store.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Them a lot of money.

[Rod Ryan]

Buy a knife and cut it yourself, you maniac.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

There's some like mangoes. I'm not gonna cut myself.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

There is a professional. Mango.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Mangoes. Pineapple. Do the same thing.

[Rod Ryan]

This is a true story. A couple weeks ago, Aldi, I know some of you people. It's a cult. They're a little culty too. People are into it. They debuted a brand new product. Ice. Not a bag of ice. Okay. In the freezer section they have little boxes of ice. On the label it says crystal clear frozen ice cubes. Yes. They were selling frozen water. Large cubes, 1.8 inches inches in width. This is for those of you that like that big like cool looking ice cube in your glass of whiskey.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yep.

[Rod Ryan]

They were selling them for 4.99 A$25 a piece for an ice cube.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I don't understand why people are mad at it. Like if you go to Kroger you can buy a bag ice anyways, like who cares?

[Rod Ryan]

You don't have to buy any of

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

this if you just make your own for free. But if you want it readily available there going to charge you for.

[Rod Ryan]

If you told me this was at the grocery store that Kim Kardashian shops at, I would say yeah, I know. I don't doubt it at all. It's all these. They don't have bags. It's a.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

It's a.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a discount grocery store. Right.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Maybe not the audience.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You don't have to buy it.

[Rod Ryan]

Is it the wrong audience?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Maybe not the audience.

[Rod Ryan]

The box has got them all hyped up. Is ultra pure slow melting.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's a lot of work to make those. If you're having a party and you want those. So.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

No, it's not really.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It really is. There's only enough room in a freezer. Takes forever for it to make. And then you have to empty the molds and make a whole another mold. It takes.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

We used to do. We had a Tupperware container. You would fill the four things with that. You would put the balls in there, refill it and you would do it and it would. You'd have like 20 of them in a container.

[Rod Ryan]

Social. Social media jumped in on the box of four for $4.99. Aldi has now slashed the prices. Some prices are down to $4, only a dollar a cube. Some places as low as as 250. So now you're at half off I

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

would have raised the price.

[Rod Ryan]

You gotta go check this out. Aldi's selling ice cubes. $5 links and gas. Chili has a blog page up for it.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

The Buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

Rock and alternative for Houston.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am 94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. You having a good morning, Mom?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

The best.

[Rod Ryan]

Remember? A really good morning.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And it's not even open phones yet. Open phones is going to be great. We're going to give away the fourth and final case of beer and then we'll turn it over to you. You can talk about whatever it is that you want to talk about. I obsess like this. So of course I'm looking at the back end of the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store and so many of you are going in there and just kind of a last minute push. And I thank every single one of you.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

The.

[Rod Ryan]

The big donations and the small and nothing is small. $20 is not small. We're supposed to be here for you. I The radio's commercial. IHeartRadio free. Always will be. Free, free, free, free, free. And then you got this jag off on the air asking for money. It's not lost on me. Thank you. I. I appreciate every single penny that you guys have thrown at thrown at us in the store. Whether you're buying merch or just dropping money to for us to go buy backpacks. Thank you so much for that. So looking forward to talking to you more. Always looking forward to Moe's forecast on the weekend. Please tell me how to dress. What do I need to know? I'm going to be wearing white linen on Saturday, so I'm worried about getting rained on. Do I have anything to worry about? Mo, you do.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's looking like Saturday evening has the highest chance for rain. Rain. Even thunderstorms this weekend. Today, steamy temps in the upper 90s, which feels like 107. Same as the last few days. Tomorrow's August. It's gonna be a hot one. What?

[Rod Ryan]

I did wash my car this week, so it probably will rain. You're probably right on this one.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

There you go. Alex told me that the trending movie of the weekend is Spider Man.

[Rod Ryan]

I like you going old school on the Spidey song too. Yeah, I like that, Alex.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I would have picked Post Malone, not that one.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Sunflower.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, I like that song.

[Rod Ryan]

I would have gone hero with Chad Kroger.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Of course you would. He's Canadian. Never mind.

[Rod Ryan]

Josie Scott is on that too.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

The new Spider man movie is having the best preview ever. It made over $50 million in yesterday's

[Rod Ryan]

previews, so it's pretty good.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, this number beat the record. The previous record set by the previous Spider man movie. But it's also the third best Thursday preview ever, behind Avengers in Endgame and Star Wars Force Awakens.

[Rod Ryan]

Hang on.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay,

[Rod Ryan]

I can only type so fast with two fingers.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

What are you typing?

[Rod Ryan]

One hour, 45 minutes.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay, that's how long the movie is.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, 145 minutes. My bad. Two hours and 25 minutes. You guys love these long ass superhero movies. At least it's not three.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I saw the headline earlier this week about the hiker that had to walk down a mountain with his walking stick impaling him.

[Rod Ryan]

Send that to me. I saw it this morning. I saw it last night for the first time, and then I sent it over to you this morning. I'm like, we should mention this. And we should. There's got to be somebody else like me that hasn't seen it yet. And then I found somebody like me. Alex did not see this guy impaled.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Have you looked yet? Alex?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

No, I don't want to.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay, well, there's another detail that I learned this morning that makes this story even more compelling to me. Important to say he's recovering, this guy.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, but give the backstory on what he did.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Slipped on a rock, fell on one of those trekking poles that he was using to just hike. Hike. Hike.

[Rod Ryan]

Kind of like ski poles?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, he had to walk 10 miles to safety down the hill. I assumed he was on a mountain hill some sorts. And that's why he had to walk down. Cuz no one could get to him fast enough. But that's not why they could get to him.

[Rod Ryan]

If it was an emergency, which this is an emergency, they could have gotten to him. But why didn't he call?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He refused the search and rescue helicopter because he didn't want to pay for said helicopter.

[Rod Ryan]

What do you think there's a slush fund laying around to pick your ass up off of a mountain? No. You're paying.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah, my parents used to tell me that about an ambulance. They were like, do you know how

[Rod Ryan]

much it costs to ride? I feel like, yeah, you see that with people too. It's like, get the ambulance.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It is no sad.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not paying.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's sad. But he is a wound nurse, so I'm guessing he sees some real stuff.

[Rod Ryan]

So this ski pole, which is better visual through his chest, out his back.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Yeah.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

And he's just walking.

[Rod Ryan]

How many miles did he walk?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

10.

[Rod Ryan]

He walked 10 miles.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

10 miles. Got to the hospital finally. It had been in him for seven hours.

[Rod Ryan]

Holy crap.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Spent a week recovering and then is back to work. That.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, an ambulance has got it could ruin somebody financially. Can you imagine what a helicopter on a mountain would cost you?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

Bunch of guys coming down with a helicopter. Whatever they get you out of there with.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Glad he's okay. We all know how much work goes into having a podcast, but my advice here is to keep working Alex, because Joe Rogan made $82 million dollars last year.

[Rod Ryan]

Holy cow.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's the new list of the highest paid podcasters of 2026. Joe Rogan at the top with 82 million. John Coogan. Do you know that one?

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Jordy Hayes.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know these people.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Steven Bartlett.

[Rod Ryan]

Who are they?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Ashley Flowers, Will Arnett, Jason Bateman. Heard of them. Their smart list podcast. 37 million last year.

[Rod Ryan]

My God.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

The Kelsey brothers, Jason and Travis. Their New Heights podcast earned them 35 million.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, good. They needed it.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

And we've all heard of Alex Cooper. She made 32 million last year. Rounding out the top 10 podcasters. Charlemagne the God. We know him.

[Rod Ryan]

That's the guy from New York. He's works for iHeart, the Breakfast Club.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

He made $27 million.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Wow.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Congrats. It's a lot of money.

[Rod Ryan]

A lot of money be made on this podcast.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Gotta keep Just, just.

[Rod Ryan]

You did like some underwear.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I did me undies.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, me undies.

[Commercial Announcer]

Oh, that.

[Rod Ryan]

Did they sponsor you?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

How did you go get them?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You think I just did free ads,

[Rod Ryan]

Right, but how did you get them?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You reached out and they give you a code, and if people use your code, you get money based on how many people use your code.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so do you have sponsors now that are exclusive?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You'd like to sponsor?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You're looking for sponsors?

[Rod Ryan]

I did it too. I didn't. I didn't get any sponsors when I

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

was doing sales department. If you'd like to sell it as well.

[Rod Ryan]

I did. I did 100 podcasts of the playpants. Yeah, I think we did 100. And I just said I don't think it was listening. I'm not making any money on it. I didn't do it to make money. It was fun. I like doing it. But then I felt like nobody was listening.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

If you have like hundreds of thousands of listeners, then like, that's when you're making. Yeah, you have thousands of us in there. You're probably not making a ton of money.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I enjoyed it. But like three people were listening to Me talk. And me and Jason talk about our top five metal chicks. Like, nobody cared what we were talking about. And I just, like, all right. I don't walk around in a bubble thinking everybody loves and hanging on every word I say. It was painfully obvious. Obvious. Nobody was hanging on one word.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I was saying, maybe next year, Rod.

[Rod Ryan]

But I did 100. It's not like I did four podcasts.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

That's what most people do.

[Rod Ryan]

And then dipped out. I get a hundred of them.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And then I just said, nobody. This is not getting any traction out there. You tried, which it must not have been very good.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

We can talk.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm all right with that.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Let's talk about Marcus Mumford real fast because he's not allowed to listen to music in his home. And I think it's hilarious. He is the lead singer of Mumford and Sons, so he loves music. Music is important to him, but his wife does not allow it in their home because even if it's playing in the back background, he gets so distracted that he won't listen to her talk.

[Rod Ryan]

He's joking, right? Like, this is kind of like a joke. I mean, I'm sure it was said out loud, but he gets that distracted by the background music.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I. I didn't take it as a joke, really. I mean, there are times that there's a baseball game on and I'm like, babe. Babe. And I just can't get him.

[Rod Ryan]

We're simple creatures.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Let him have a second.

[Rod Ryan]

We only have the bandwidth for one thing at a time. Oh, there's a song playing. Oh, you sure shot the biggest of his life, squirrel.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Even when we're driving, he's like, did you see that deer out there? I'm like, babe, focus. You are simple, but we love you.

[Rod Ryan]

Funny. His wife won't let him listen to music at the house.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, take it, Alex.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

The Astros are back in action tonight. They're going to open up a weekend series at the Rangers at Dyken Park. Hunter Brown will be on the mound for the stro. Going up against the Rangers.

It's been busy. One thing after another after another. I. I am kind of up against the break right now. We had a great thing happen this morning. AJ came on and just came in 60 seconds. He's on the air with us and said, hey, I want to give you guys a thousand dollars. I'm gonna put it in the store this morning. He goes, I'm just gonna throw it out there to the listeners. Maybe somebody's gonna getting paid today. Maybe somebody hasn't donated yet. Maybe somebody hasn't taken the time to go and buy the T shirt. We've had a lot of opportunities. We've been Going at it all summer. And, and I thought, okay, you know what? Yeah, I, I can't stop you. Of course I need the thousand dollars. And he said, I'm going to challenge the listeners. Maybe they can just match my thousand dollars. You know, $20 here, $20 there. And the huge donations that have come in today has been, been absolutely overwhelming. I always have something to say. And this is one of those times where you guys almost have me speechless with what's been happening this morning. And, and just donations have continued to pour in and last minute orders have continued to pour in. I didn't tell Deb anything that I was doing today because if we weren't doing anything today, Deb's going to walk into the office today over at bmp and so what did he say? What did you do?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I can't wait.

[Rod Ryan]

Deb's got to freak out. When she gets into work. She's going to go, what did.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

She's so sweet.

[Rod Ryan]

Dude. Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Dude, I never mind Captain Kirk. This is the best repeat ever.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You just use your mouse, drag it across the screen, you slap Captain Cook. Then you drag back the other way. Slap him again. His name is Captain Kirk. I don't know if you did this. So his name is Captain Kirk, but you slapped him. So it slapped him.

[Rod Ryan]

You got to do this while Shatner's still alive. I feel like it'll be inappropriate. Just slap him around.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

No, I think he, it's what he would have wanted, though. Even when he passes, it's like, let my Memory live on with slapping Kirk.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't want to think of a world without William. Sh.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

But I, I. If it was me, if it was like slapped. It was slapped in Alex. I would want people to still slap me after I was gone five years earlier than no. Because of the sun.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Right.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I wrote that down.

[Rod Ryan]

Only we knew another captain. Oh, Adam.

[Commercial Announcer]

Rod?

[Rod Ryan]

Lightning Rod. Yeah, that came up this week. What you got for open phones today, dude?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

So next month I'm taking my 11 year old daughter to her first Astros game and I'm hoping to get a ball sign. I don't seeing if y' all have any pro tips to make that happen.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know how any of that works.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Batting practice.

[Rod Ryan]

Batting practice.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Get there really, really early. Stand in the.

[Commercial Announcer]

What's that?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

The Crawford box in the very back?

[Rod Ryan]

No, in the back.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

What's that in the very, very back? Yeah.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Oh, you got.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Why it says then you catch fly balls and then they.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

But I don't know if they're going to give you an autograph there.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, you got to be near.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That's where my kids get their balls.

[Rod Ryan]

No, but no ball signed. He wants a sign ball. Don't. You got to be closer to the players.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

There's out there, like stretching and you can see them.

[Rod Ryan]

Can you just toss it down to them? They'll sign it and throw it back

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

to you, depending on what kind of day they're having.

[Rod Ryan]

Have you seen that before?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I've seen that before.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Yeah, just get the cute kid in front. Carson. Nobody wants.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

We got good seats. I was thinking about just dropping her on the field. No,

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

like a fake stutter. Like, please could you sign my ball?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Really cute.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Like whatever makes it like, like seem more like cute. You know, I'll say this.

[Rod Ryan]

I took London when she was young. I don't have it. I don't open where it is. But you can get. You can go to, like, customer service, and they will give you a certificate that says, my first Astros game. A lot of times they do that for babies. I know your kid's a little bit older, but you could still get that. You can still get that made for her.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I see adults do it.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

It's cool.

[Rod Ryan]

No charge.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

She's not older. She's 11 months.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, 11 months. We missed that.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

We missed that. We thought she was an 11 year old child.

[Rod Ryan]

11 months. Oh, yeah. You're going to do all the work to get that ball signed, but good luck up, Carson.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Thank you.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

I'll sign it. I'll sign it. And you just say it was anybody.

[Rod Ryan]

Justin, you're next up on open phones. Everybody pay attention to the callers. Pay attention to the words they're saying. Hi, Justin.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Hey there, Rock and Rod and Crew.

[Rod Ryan]

What's up?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

First, I wanted to tell all the

[Kenny the Cash Man]

teachers, you know, I hope you'll have a safe year when coming back. I know you're coming back either today or next week, but that it's Friday sound bit made me smile because school year is coming up in two. In two weeks, and I get to have my kids riding in the back with me listening to one of the best morning shows.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow. And they get which one do you like? Because there's. There's a couple of the. It's Fridays that we have.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I thought you meant which morning show do you.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

It's Friday one.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yes. My kids love that. And so every time they hear that, they just repeat that. So it brought a smile to my face, and I was like, you know what? Let me go ahead and give brother Rod and them a call and, well,

[Rod Ryan]

let them know maybe you can take them back. And listen, what are your kids names?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Neo and Gambit.

[Rod Ryan]

Neo and what's the other one?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Gambit.

[Rod Ryan]

Gambit. All right, Neo and Gambit. This is specifically for the both of you. It's Friday. All right, let him listen to the podcast. Later, dad. Thank you. Chase is next up. How'd you. Chase, you're on open phones. Well, there you are, Chase. Hi.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

What's up, man? I was just calling to wish my daughter a happy 15th birthday. She turns 15 on Monday.

[Rod Ryan]

What's her name?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Lakin.

[Rod Ryan]

What's she been doing all summer, man?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Getting ready for volleyball. She's an insanely good volleyball player, and I think she's going to make team captain. She tries out tomorrow, so good luck to that as well. And then we celebrate her birthday the next day.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

It.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

That's awesome.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Good luck. Happy birthday.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I can't wait.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm curious. Was somebody in the family interested in volleyball that got her interested, or did she do it all on her sister? Okay, okay, so somebody sister was.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

But she. She was a competitive cheerleader from like, three to seven or eight, and she's gotten the volleyball and been killing it.

[Rod Ryan]

That's great.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Killing it.

[Rod Ryan]

Happy early birthday. That's great. Thank you, dad. Hey, Garrett, you're next up on open phones. What you got for us today?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Well, I was gonna talk about ice cubes, and then that guy just said his daughter's birthday's on Monday. My daughter's birthday's on Wednesday, and she's turning 15 as well.

[Rod Ryan]

What's her name?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Kendra.

[Rod Ryan]

All right.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Turning 15. And she's in the choir, though, but.

[Rod Ryan]

But that's cool. Kendra, flowers. Put the spotlight on her. I do want to hear what you had to say. I don't know if you said you were talking about ice cube cubes, but I told you about.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah. Cubes. They're selling.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I've got a little tray that may makes a skull. Ice cubes?

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Do they look good, though? Do they look cool or do they all, like, cloudy? They look and stuff. Yeah, I. You can make your own ice cubes. Okay. Nothing new here, right? Aldi tried selling four ice cubes for five bucks a couple of weeks ago. They're not exactly flying off the shelves. I think Aldi is a weird store to be doing something so niche like this.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

This.

[Rod Ryan]

If you told me that was Total Foods or whatever the other places are, that would make sense, but crystal clear. Frozen ice cubes, frozen water.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Four of them for five bucks. But you're making your own.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You're smart.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I've got. I got two trays. You make spears or skulls.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

I like it, dude. Thank you. Friend off. Eli, he would take the. He already told me that he would buy those ice cubes and kick them under his refrigerator.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That's awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Eli. Good morning.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Good morning.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Good morning.

[Rod Ryan]

What you got for us, dude? Wait a minute. What's the countdown to Halloween? You should be our countdown to Halloween, guy.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Oh, I think we got, like, maybe 45 days left. I think.

[Rod Ryan]

I believe we're at 90. We was 99 last week, so I bet you it's about. Yeah, you got September. How many?

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

69 days.

[Rod Ryan]

69 days. Okay. Yeah, we'll go with 69.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

It's 92.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Is it really?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Don't listen to Alex.

[Rod Ryan]

Is it 92 days?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yes.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I just googled Rod believed.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

You're 20 days, Rod.

[Rod Ryan]

Eli, you're officially on Halloween watch. It's 92 days. And that's your job that you just earned today. You just got a new job on the show. But what else? What did you. What did you call for?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I just want to wish my mom A happy 73rd birthday.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

What's her name?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Cynthia.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Cynthia.

[Rod Ryan]

And what do you got planned for Cynthia for her birthday?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Well, we haven't decided yet, but I'll

[Rod Ryan]

probably go and take her out for

[Kenny the Cash Man]

breakfast because she has some stuff to do today, but definitely going to take her out for breakfast tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

Nice boy, Cynthia. Too busy.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

You met her?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

You met her.

[Rod Ryan]

I met your mom, yeah.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

At a ditch day a couple of years ago.

[Rod Ryan]

He did bring his mom.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I was taping the girls.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

And she popped out out of nowhere. And I'm like, mom, what are you doing here?

[Rod Ryan]

And I'm covering the girl up.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I talked to her while you're. I'm like, look at him taping those titties, Mom. What do you think of that? She's like, well, you know, he's talented. He's good at what he does.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

[Rod Ryan]

heard that a really good show. That was a really.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Someone played it for me with this, like system. I'm sure that like it's been deleted. There's been 25, 000.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Anyway, I was wondering if I was just a call out to, like, your whole audience if anybody can, like, find the date of that episode because I kind of forgot it and I can't track it down.

I believe it's in Toyota Center. His mom got all the tickets, but, yeah, he's okay. He wanted to take. He wanted to take his headphones or whatever to school today. And he's wearing a Monster Truck shirt. He's super excited.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

So this weekend at the Toyota center is Hot Wheels Monster Truck live. Glow in fire.

[Rod Ryan]

So it's another. It's. It's just like a. Like a different league. You know what I mean? Like, there's different wrestling leagues. So this is a Hot Wheels one. You freaked me out a little bit. I'm like, wait, is Monster Jam this weekend? Am I supposed to be doing something? Because we partner up with them? They're coming.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know if I'm supposed to. Oh, geez. All right. Have a great time. Your kid's gonna love it. Okay. I don't. I haven't been to this show.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yes. And happy birthday. What a awesome present.

[Rod Ryan]

There's. I think. Am I allowed to.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yes. It's public knowledge.

[Rod Ryan]

October, Monster Jam, the one. The. The guys that we work with and stuff, That's Grave Digger and all that stuff. They're coming back in October. Okay. I'm just giving.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

We're going to have to take into that one, too.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. You just opened up the. You just opened yourself up into a whole world of, like, you know what? Here, just hand over your wallet. Hand over your wallet, cuz your kid's going to want to go to all these for about the next three or four years.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Keep you posted.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Way to go.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Absolutely. Also, the. The guy that called about the Astros. I took my son to the Astros for his first birthday. If you just take him down to the end of the dugout, the guys usually stand up and we'll sign stuff for you so just.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what I was thinking. I was thinking closer to it.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

And we got Dubon to sign a hat and a ball for my one year old, so mostly awesome. Thank you, guys.

[Rod Ryan]

Take your kid out to the bleachers

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

and maybe you'll get some kids got their ball.

[Rod Ryan]

Take your kids, just walk around the parking lot. You might run into a player right

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

next to that Maserat.

[Rod Ryan]

Alina, good morning.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Good morning, y'. All. How are y' all this morning?

[Rod Ryan]

So great. What do you got for open phones? Good to have you on.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Oh, I literally listen to y' all every morning. So I just got my new job at 5 below and I have to be. I have to be at work at like 4 to 6 o' clock in the morning, so I am able to stock the shelves and listen to y' all all morning.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I love.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

And it is. It's so cool. But I know y' all have kids, so I just want to let y' all know if y' all kids are into like the dumplings and the squishies.

[Rod Ryan]

Yep.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

The place to go is five Below.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Literally as soon as you said five below, I thought squishies.

[Rod Ryan]

Squishies. It's a.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That's the first thing I thought of when you said five Below.

[Rod Ryan]

I had to buy London a dumpling. And it comes in like this fake little steamer.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yep. We carry it everywhere, but we're not allowed to have in the car because we don't want it to explode.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Did they explode?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

They line up about 7:30, 8 o', clock, kind of like Black Friday every morning. Ready to start getting them, literally.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

If it's not already the slogan for your store, the way that you just how it rolled off your tongue. The place to go is Five Below. If that. If they're not using that verbal trademark and make them buy it from you, Alina. All right.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

You're great.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Great.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Well, thank you. Just real quick, I just want to tell my uncle and aunt if y' all hear me this morning, love y' all and thank y' all for doing y' all show.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what this is all about, man. That's what shout outs are all in. Alina. John, you're next up. Now. John might have some information.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

What's up, John?

[Rod Ryan]

John, do you work for the Astros?

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yeah, this is my fourth season, guys. Nice field security.

[Rod Ryan]

Where's the best place for a kid to get an autograph? Maybe 11 month old batting practice, like the 600 level.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

I would definitely recommend getting there. Early, depending on game time. So like, you know, you got 7 o' clock games, 1 o' clock games. If you're there at 7 o', clock, doors open at 5pm for all passes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

And.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

And then you just come down by the field as close as you can get. And then normally the bullpen or the starters are down there. With this weekend because the Texas Rangers are in town, I state might be a little difficult.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Yeah.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

So it might be a little hectic with to Dallas people coming in town and whatnot.

[Rod Ryan]

Let me ask you though, if you have a game ticket for a game that starts at seven and the doors open at five, everybody can get in at five if you want to get in that early.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

Yes. Five o'. Clock. Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Yeah, I think people need to hear that.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Yeah.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

And yeah, you got that option. And then they also do the tours, which I think is like 40 to $50 a person. If you get one of those on game day, then they will let you stay in the stadium as long as you got a game day ticket for that day. So you're already inside before everybody, like what, four or five hours before game time.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That is a hack right there.

[Rod Ryan]

We got an inside information here.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Thank you.

[Alex (Producer/Co-host)]

Thanks, John.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you so much, brother.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

For sure. Thank you all, guys.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. Damn it, where's my music?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Sorry.

[Rod Ryan]

I've tried to hit something. Try to be clever here. John, you're awesome. There we go, guys.

[Kenny the Cash Man]

That's it.

[Rod Ryan]

That's all I got time for.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

That's it.

[Rod Ryan]

How did that go by so quick? That's it for open phones Friday. Thank you. If I left you hanging, I'm sorry. I wanted to get you on. We just kind of ran out of time here. What a show, man. You guys make it fun. You guys absolutely make this fun every day. What did you not give away?

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

I have seven Dust Theory and a Theory of a Dead man tickets.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, those are good.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Is that good?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, those are really good.

[Mo (Meteorologist)]

Pair of tickets for their show at the Bayou Music center on September 9th. But we are going to make you work for them. You have to know the show.

[Rod Ryan]

That's actually a really good point.

[Rod Ryan]

I did not hear from Kenny after the game.
