Transcript

[Rod Ryan]

Sam,

[Alex O]

Here we go.

[Rod Ryan]

Here we go. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Good morning.

Morning.

This is Ed McMahon. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's Rod. Okay, come on now. Wakey, wakey. Hands off. Sneaky Rod Ryan show checking in. Throwback Thursday Strokes, Marilyn Manson. Wow. An mia. Okay, we got Hammer and Hank stringing together some wins. Going for win number three in the fresh out of bed Head to Head challenge. Will play at 6:20.

Today we'll play Read my lips at 8:20. Mo takes on Alex for Black Keys tickets. ACDC tickets at 10. My Chemical Romance tickets again on Mo the Show. 30% chance of rain, mostly cloudy, high of 94. Good morning, Mo. What you got in Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Hey, Rod. So we continue to follow the story of the Houston ICE shooting. Yesterday we heard from the victim's family. We heard from local leaders and activists all calling for transparency in the investigation. Mr. Lorenzo Salgado was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Houston Tuesday morning. Hundreds of people gathered in Houston's Magnolia park neighborhood and marched along Canal street dropping off candles, flowers, handwritten notes and crosses at a growing memorial marking the spot of the incident. Nationally, the controversy over the health status of Senator Mitch McConnell continues to swirl. Quick, catch up. He's the 84 year old Kentucky senator that has held that senate position since 1985. Okay. He was admitted to a hospital back on June 14th. And since then, rumors about his actual health status have been sparse, minimal.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, very little updates and no like, video of him or anything.

[Mo]

Yesterday, the governor of Kentucky publicly urged Senator McConnell and his team to be transparent. Share, maybe some sort of real update. They're obviously worried about his ability to hold office. And under Kentucky law, the governor can't appoint a temporary replacement. So they have to call for like a special election. And obviously that involves like courts and lawyers and stuff. So hot dog season is now. And we talked just before the holiday about our hot dog preferences. Will this just in. The New York Times and celebrity chefs voted that the Seattle dog is the number one hot dog in America.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't know Seattle had their own.

[Mo]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not the brand of hot dog, it's how they eat it, what's on it.

[Mo]

Yeah, so it beat out the Chicago dog, the New York street meat, if you will. Seattle, if you've never had one. It's Loaded with cream cheese, grilled onions, mustard, and if you're feeling adventurous, they throw some jalapenos on there.

[Rod Ryan]

I never heard of this, but I

[Mo]

kind of want to try it.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't hate it, right?

[Mo]

I love cream cheese.

[Rod Ryan]

But the number one hot dog.

[Mo]

[Rod Ryan]

but listen, he's good at it.

[Mo]

He's so good. He's the only person I know that can answer every single question. They just announced they're hiring a Clue writer. Alex. The team is tiny, only about 10 people, so very rare. One of the rarest jobs in television. And it pays between $132 and $178,000 a year.

[Alex O]

Okay, I might leave.

[Mo]

And then, last but not least, let's talk about Oasis. Because they've got some rumors swirling themselves. Reports suggest that the band is planning a big UK and European tour in 2027. Specific rumors say the tour could include a 12 to maybe even 20 night residency in Manchester.

Yeah, he'll be fine. All right. I got some fun facts for you guys and they've all been and sent to me. 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. Pretty cool of you guys to do my homework for me. Anybody heard of Josh Tree?

[Alex O]

I've heard of that place.

[Rod Ryan]

Somebody by the name of Josh Tree sent me an email. He said, for my man Alex. How about a fun fact about snakes? You know how much you love snakes over there? Some snakes are not immune to their own venom and can accidentally bite themselves and die.

[Alex O]

Snakes should not chase their own tails.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Some cobras and some rattlesnakes. Yeah. I had to go. I, I double check. Not that I didn't.

[Mo]

We double check.

[Alex O]

It actually happens a lot. Like the rattlesnake community. Their rattle shakes a little bit and they get startled. They're like, oh, no, who's that intruder? And then they bite themselves accidentally. They're done.

[Rod Ryan]

Him and Josh Tree. Those are my.

[Alex O]

That's responsible for thousands of rattlesnake destinies.

[Rod Ryan]

They're my snake guys. In 1904, the one they called Tim sent this to me.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

In 1904, at a fairgrounds in Louisiana, an ice cream vendor ran out of cups. Another vendor there named Ernest quickly rolled up one of his thin waffles into a cone and threw some ice cream in it. And this is how the ice cream cone took off.

[Alex O]

That is.

[Rod Ryan]

You don't see. If you had used to come in

[Alex O]

cups, I, I would have never picked Louisiana as where that came from.

[Rod Ryan]

Really?

[Alex O]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It seems like something that would have been on, like the Jersey Shore Fair. Seems like Atlantic City. You're right. A beach. And then I'm going to stay with Tim, so please blame Tim. He even said, this one's pretty cool.

[Mo]

Try me.

[Rod Ryan]

In 1945, a chicken named Mike lived for 18 months without its head. That's neat. The ax missed most of his brain stem, jugular vein and left ear. So he was fed a mixture of milk and water through an eyedropper and small portions of corn. The family charged 25 cents. Sense to see him. Mike was earning on average four, five hundred dollars a month. Mike died while on vacation in Arizona. He choked on a piece of corn. It's the fun fact of the day, Headless Mike. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day.

[Alex O]

Mike wasn't seeing that money. A slave labor.

[Rod Ryan]

Mike wasn't seeing anything.

[Alex O]

He was getting.

[Rod Ryan]

Mike did. I didn't see. Thank you, Tim.

[Mo]

And I don't.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, Josh.

[Alex O]

Very fun facts today.

[Rod Ryan]

Pretty good, huh? What are you giving away?

[Mo]

I have a pair of tickets to see Buck Cherry and Blackstone Cherry September 1st at the House of Blues, ticketmaster.com if you want to buy them or if you know this flashback, we'll give them to you.

[Rod Ryan]

I had to pay 25 cents to see Mike. Same like, feed him. Feed him a piece of corn. I want to see how he eats. All right, from my fun facts yesterday, not even as good as what was sent in. Lauryn Hill. Was she in the Fugees, Right? Lauryn Hill grew up in the same neighborhood as this actor in New Jersey, and she even went to his bar mitzvah. Okay, Lauryn Hill, who did she.

Good morning, Rod Ryan's show on this throwback Thursday. We'll get song cliff and we'll talk about the songs. Interesting choices today for sure. We'll get into some of that. There's, there's donuts in here. I want to ask Mo about that. I'm wearing a very special shirt. They exist. This is from the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store.

[Alex O]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Those of you that are my little pack.

[Mo]

It's like Christmas.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, dude. Deb came by yesterday and brought our stuff.

[Mo]

You guys are cute twinsies.

[Rod Ryan]

You bought a good one, Alex. So, yes, the Rod Ryan show stuff is going to be start getting shipped off or you can start picking your stuff up if you're going to BNP to get that. So a lot of stuff to talk about coming up. But I got Mo right now with Houston's headlines where this is really turning into be a national story. It is with this ICE shooting the

[Mo]

national reporters on the ground here in Houston. As we continue to follow the story of the Houston ICE shooting yesterday, we heard from, from the victim's family, local leaders and activists all calling for transparency in the investigation. Mr. Lorenzo Saldago was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Houston. On Tuesday morning, hundreds of people gathered in Houston's Magnolia park neighborhood. They marched along Pinal street last night dropping off candles, flowers, handwritten notes and crosses at a growing memorial marking the spot of the incident. Another national headline, Democratic. Democratic Senate candidate Graham Planter has suspended his main campaign after a former girlfriend accused him of sexual assault. So he posted a video on social media yesterday. Planter was an oyster farmer, military veteran, and said he will withdraw from the ballot and that he has whoever comes next should be from the people of Maine. So he continues to deny the allegations. But this is a major headline because, because Maine is a key battleground state and they frequently decide control of the U.S. senate.

[Rod Ryan]

So senators, they hung with this guy for a long time. This is the guy with the, with the tattoos.

[Mo]

That's the guy. Yeah. So we'll continue to follow that. Yesterday we talked about the spread of the cyclospora nastiness. We're continuing to wash our fresh produce. And now I have to tell you that Taco Bell has been affected. No, they're shifting their menu.

[Rod Ryan]

They got the Bell.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Mo]

They're pulling several of fresh ingredients, lettuce, pico, guac, and they have that cilantro onion blend from some other locations. So don't be surprised if your Order looks a little light. They're just getting ahead of this. Okay, okay. Good news. Get ahead of it. We saw breaking news this morning that Bonnie Tyler had passed away. The singer was 75. So. Rod. It was back in May when we heard the news that she was rushed to a hospital. Emergency intestinal surgery in Portugal. And she was placed on an induced coma to help with her recovery. Well, this is obviously the song best known for this hit.

[Alex O]

Sure.

[Mo]

The passing of her was still surprising. They thought that she'd be able to recover. And they're still looking for further answers about what exactly happened, about her family asking for privacy. I'm seeing a lot about her today and learning a lot more. She talked about this song and how she didn't mind singing it over and over again.

[Rod Ryan]

You have to.

[Mo]

You can't.

[Rod Ryan]

You can't go to a Bonnie Tyler concert and she not do this.

[Alex O]

When it makes you all that money, you kind of owe it to people.

[Rod Ryan]

I just saw an interview somebody sent me with Natalie and Berlia talking about Torn. She says. She goes. She knew she was going to sing that for the rest of her life.

[Mo]

Rest of her life.

[Rod Ryan]

She goes. You cannot go to her show and not hear that song.

[Mo]

Don't be better than your song.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

This next one has me wondering, have you been been singing a line from welcome to the Jungle wrong?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think so.

[Mo]

You don't think so? So during the bridge, when Axl Rose sings, and when you're high, you never, ever want to come down the next line.

[Rod Ryan]

Suck down. I always sung that.

[Alex O]

You have.

[Mo]

You promise?

[Rod Ryan]

Always. I swear.

[Mo]

Apparently, most people say, so down. So down. So down. Yeah, but this is coming to the headlines because Slash's girlfriend posted a photo of him standing on a teleprompter, which shows the lyrics. Suck down.

[Rod Ryan]

I got ice. I got isolated vocals. All right, now, hang on. River wanna down. Suck down. Suck down. Suck down. I always sang suck down.

[Mo]

Do you hear the confusion, though?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't think that was like one of those big up in the air controversy, controversial lyrics.

[Mo]

Now, you know those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Excuse me while I kiss this guy. Yeah, that one we could talk about. What do you got? You got over there?

[Alex O]

The Astros lost the Nationals last night, 8:2. They're now 46 and 49 on the season. They're gonna have a day off today before they open up a weekend series with the Rangers tomorrow night in Arlington. In soccer. Yeah, we were having withdrawals yesterday.

[Rod Ryan]

I had.

[Alex O]

They had Fox Sports 2. Had to replay of the Columbia Switzerland game. And I just turned it on for a second just to feel something.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, you sound like a junkie.

[Alex O]

You sound like you can't get. You can't just, just like mainline me. Soccer all day long where there's three and four games a day and then

[Rod Ryan]

just be like, oh, by the way,

[Alex O]

you don't have a game today.

[Rod Ryan]

You can't watch a replay.

[Alex O]

They needed. They like, they should have warned us like days in advance. But hey, just FYI, two more days, we don't have a day, we don't have a game. All right, like, they like. I feel like I forgot and then I just. It was sprung on me yesterday.

[Rod Ryan]

But you're, you're back at soccer today.

[Alex O]

Soccer is back. We only get one game, unfortunately, and that's at 3 o' clock when France takes on Morocco for a spot in the semifinals where they're going to play either Spain or Belgium, who will play tomorrow. You watch the game on Fox. That is what's going on in sports. Houston's rockin alternative, the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[Rod Ryan]

Because you were investigating my Krispy Kreme story.

There's a collab. A collab with the Girl Scouts.

[Mo]

The Girl Scouts and Krispy Kreme released a dream collab, if you will, some Girl Scout cookie inspired donuts.

And so I brought you some.

[Rod Ryan]

He.

I'm sorry, I don't remember which one, but thank you, family. Somebody sent me this thing and said, hey, you should get these cards. And every night when London goes to bed, we pull out a card and there's a question in there just to get you talking about different things.

[Mo]

Yeah, I love those.

[Rod Ryan]

And last night was, you know what? What three superpowers would you want?

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

It was a great conversation. Like, before she went to bed, and one of them, she said she wanted to be candy Girl. She could eat as much candy she wants and her teeth and everything would be fine.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm just thinking about this superpower.

[Mo]

So thoughtful.

[Rod Ryan]

Candy Girl. I mean, you wouldn't be saving the

[Alex O]

world, but, like, I would take that superpower.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, Candy Girl. I'm like, okay, then I'll be chip

[Mo]

boy, and together we'll conquer the world.

[Rod Ryan]

You can be candy Girl, I'll be Chip Boy. But I might switch to donut boy, where I could just eat that all the time as my superpower and it wouldn't affect me. Everything would be great. It wouldn't affect my waistband. That donut is delicious. Thank you, plumber. Oh, my God.

[Alex O]

Plumber.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. I hate you and love you all at the same time. All right, we're gonna do song clips. We're gonna give away tickets. We're gonna do everything. Coming up, rock and alternative for Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

the oddest Throwback Thursday song ever.

[Mo]

When you said it this morning, I looked at you like, are you ill?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know what the history of this radio station is with this song.

[Chili]

Song.

[Rod Ryan]

To my knowledge, we never played it. I gotta be honest with you.

[Mo]

Please.

[Rod Ryan]

I like it. I don't know. All the controversy with the song. I don't know. I don't live in this controversy. Oh, my God.

[Alex O]

Shoot you, shoot you, shoot you and take your money.

[Rod Ryan]

There's gunshots in there, this song and everything. There's times of the things that are going on. There was protests. I remember going. I don't know if we went to the Grammys back in the day or whatever. People were protesting. Mia.

[Alex O]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. This is a very controversial song.

[Mo]

I just remember being in a bar in college and we all did hand motions.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex O]

I think it was about her trying to come to the US to work or do shows. It's about getting a visa.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. But it's another one of those songs. It reminds me of when people are jamming on to that Pumped Up Kick song. It's about school shooting and it's about school. People don't know what it's about.

[Mo]

Know that either.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex O]

Or like Jeremy from Pearl Jam.

[Rod Ryan]

Jeremy from Pearl Jam. They don't know the backstory for that. So I think there's just. This is leading.

[Mo]

Oh, yeah. 57 in percent of the votes.

[Rod Ryan]

Ask Wizard. You can text him. You know, he's up and listening. Just.

[Chili]

I'll ask.

[Mo]

Probably text.

[Rod Ryan]

Did the Buzz ever play this song?

[Mo]

Good question.

[Rod Ryan]

This is on my watch. I was here. I don't think we ever played this song.

[Mo]

And right now it's in the Throwback Thursday running because somebody had sent it in and just said, hey, throw it down.

[Rod Ryan]

And I didn't save the email. I forwarded it to Radio wizard. Not thinking in a million years that any of those songs that that guy picked was going to be played. And then wizard put it in there. Samples of Clash song Mia. Yes. Yes. So Mia. Paper Planes in the lead. And people will remember this predominantly featured in the movie Pineapple Express.

[Alex O]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

So I. I knew that. Other than that, I don't know much else.

[Alex O]

It wasn't made for the movie because I remember it being out before the movie. But then when they put the trailer out, that was the. This was the song that went with Final Express and everybody associated with that.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, well, get your votes in. The winning song is going to be played today at 9:30 this summer, brought

[Chili]

to you by Water. Water.

[Rod Ryan]

It looks just like vodka. Why not give water a try?

[Chili]

Enjoy. Responsibly.

[Rod Ryan]

The Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. It's Jelly Roll. There's a good chance. Yeah, she's on there. Of course she's on there. I think think Bunny XO has probably been on the Looking At Girls. Blog page. Every single day.

[Mo]

This week she was out with him again, the new guy.

[Rod Ryan]

So there's some young dude. She's in her 40s.

[Mo]

I'm not.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not. Okay. Just because the stories always lead with that bunny XO. Maybe. She's 42. Some guy in his 20s. He's a reality star.

[Alex O]

Yeah.

[Mo]

He's on a Netflix show. That's a bunch of rich kids in Calabasas, California, I think.

[Rod Ryan]

Nepo, baby, that's why you're on the show.

Show.

[Mo]

Yes, he's on that reality show.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, you're on the show for other reasons.

Now that she's out to the follow up one.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Do you need me to.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I got you. I'll do it.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. Drama. And what's Jelly doing the same thing

[Mo]

but not being photographed doing it.

Hillary Duff, the more famous one.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, Alex, I'm just gonna say for you. You looking at girls blog page today?

[Alex O]

I think it would do good. Would you? With Hillary Duff? And I was like, yeah, no, no,

[Rod Ryan]

I know you would. I'm just saying, to be fair, how could you not?

[Chili]

She's perfect.

[Mo]

So real perfect.

[Rod Ryan]

No, she's doing some great influencing now and stuff.

[Mo]

She's selling out the Woodlands last week.

[Mo]

So.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Go check out the Looking at Girls blog page. It's. It's Pretty. It's pretty good. Today, the Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am the buzz 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Sublime. Wrong way. We had talked about Sublime. They were added to and this was a Disney sponsored thing. It was Disney/ABC250 years. Sprinkle in a little Ryan Seacrest. Hilarious. With Ryan hosting and Sublime was added to the lineup and we were debating what the heck could Sublime play in front of everybody. And I got a little clip for you right here if you're interested. Let me try that again.

[Alex O]

It is Sublime.

[Rod Ryan]

Good job Ryan

[Chili]

boys.

[Mo]

To make it on tv.

[Rod Ryan]

This one's for dedicated it to his dad. Somebody said Santeria when we said what song are they going to play? So at some point we might have guessed it right. I have not watched the entire performance yet.

[Mo]

But like how they edit it. Television.

[Rod Ryan]

What was I doing? I was in the pool drinking White claw. Yeah, I didn't have my TV on all day. I don't watch anything. All right, cool. Good morning, Mo. You got Houston's headlines? I do.

[Mo]

We continue to follow the story of the Houston ICE shooting making national news. Yesterday we heard from the victim, family, local leaders and activists all calling for transparency in the investigation. Mr. Lorenzo Saldaga was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Houston on Tuesday morning. We also saw that hundreds of people gathered in Houston's Magnolia park neighborhood marched along Canal street dropping off candles, flowers and written notes and crosses at a growing memorial marking the spot of the incident. Also nationally, the controversy surrounding the health, health status of Senator Mitch McConnell continues to swirl. So quick catch up. The 84 year old Kentucky senator has held his position since 1985. He was admitted to the hospital back on June 14th. And since then everyone's like, what's going on? Minimal details about his health. So yesterday the governor of Kentucky was like, yo, we need to know what's going on.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, it's not like somebody in another type of job that just, they're sick. You got to kind of respect the privacy. Like he works for the people. We pay. We pay his tax dollars. Yeah, we pay his salary and stuff. So that's why people are on it. I just feel like the people that are asking, it's very cold.

[Mo]

Not right.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, like not one way.

[Mo]

We're not cheering for him to be healthy.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It's like, no, tell us. Roll his body in front of a camera.

[Mo]

Exactly.

[Rod Ryan]

It's like, wow, it's cold.

[Mo]

And under Kentucky law, the governor can't appoint a temporary replacement. They would have to go through, like, a special election. So everyone's talking about all of that.

[Rod Ryan]

Term limits, anybody? I mean, term limits. These people are just allowed to hold these jobs for such a long time.

[Mo]

Hey, Rod. It's hot dog season.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, it is.

[Mo]

We talked about this just before the holiday. You know how we like our dogs.

[Rod Ryan]

You put ketchup on a hot dog.

[Mo]

I'm a mustard girl.

[Rod Ryan]

No, no.

[Chili]

Ketchup.

[Mo]

Not my fave.

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Mo]

A coney cheese dog with mustard and onions.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. It's a good dog.

[Mo]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a good dog. But I put ketchup on mine. It seems to be polarizing for people.

[Mo]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

The Seattle one's even more polarizing. And it's the number one.

[Mo]

It is. The number one. Just voted. And a bunch of celebrity judges are the ones that voted. This is actually done by the New York Times. And the Seattle dog, which is the cream cheese, grilled onions, mustard variety, got number one.

[Rod Ryan]

Coney island has their hot dogs.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Alex O]

What about the Houston dog? We just put queso all over it, and we're just making up whatever we want. I've never.

[Mo]

I mean, you've heard of Chicago. You've heard of New York. You've heard of Coney Island.

[Rod Ryan]

Have you had a hot dog in Chicago?

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

With that super green relish.

[Mo]

Relish stuff. Not onions. Peppery. There's peppers.

[Rod Ryan]

It's. It's glow in the dark green. Yeah, it's delicious.

[Mo]

I like it. But not number one. Seattle. I feel like we need to try it. Alex, this next story is for you because Jeopardy. Is hiring. You're really good at the show.

[Alex O]

I'm not.

[Mo]

The TV game show just announced that they're hiring a clue writer.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm gonna back that. You are pretty good.

[Alex O]

I'm not. I'll get, like, one.

[Rod Ryan]

But it's on in the background, randomly

[Mo]

on in the studio.

[Alex O]

One of the lower tier questions, and you guys are like, wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow.

[Mo]

I've never gotten a question right.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think I've ever gotten one right.

[Mo]

Thank you. This new gig, alex, pays between 132 and $178,000 a year. There's only, like, 10 people on this writing team, so it's one of the rarest jobs in television. You do have to take an online trivia test to apply, but obviously you would pass it with my link, and

[Alex O]

I'll see how I do.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

It's a lot of money. You can apply. I won't be mad.

[Mo]

You won't be mad until he gets the job.

[Alex O]

I won't get the job.

[Rod Ryan]

Can he do it as a side gig? I don't want him leaving here.

[Mo]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

I did tell him he could have off for big brother for 30 days today. By the way, if you could, if you ever made it on Big Brother, I would give you the time off and you could come your job. I would not.

[Alex O]

Cuz I know I wouldn't win.

[Rod Ryan]

Your job would be waiting for you if you wanted to do Big Brother.

[Mo]

We should talk more about this.

[Rod Ryan]

You can't leave for Jeopardy. You can do Jeopardy from here.

[Alex O]

I don't know if you can.

[Rod Ryan]

What are you gonna do? Go live with Ken Jennings. We're gonna be his Cato Kalin in the back room.

[Alex O]

He's gonna probably got a sweet house.

[Rod Ryan]

Can you imagine being Ken Jennings?

[Alex O]

Kato is me and Ken just like chopping it up. Talk about trivia all day, you know.

[Rod Ryan]

Be a good question.

[Alex O]

I was thinking about this one, Ken.

[Mo]

Oasis also in the headlines because they may be gearing up for another huge run of shows. Lots of reports, rumors suggesting that they're planning a big UK European tour next year to 2027. And specific rumors say that the tour could include a 12 to 20 night homecoming residency in Manchester. They're basically trying to beat their own records.

[Rod Ryan]

That's their hometown now. Who did we say had a record?

[Alex O]

Harry Styles.

[Rod Ryan]

Harry Styles. But that was in London Stadium. Wembley. Yeah. So Wembley. Wimbley. I bet you they go for that record too.

[Mo]

Too, you think just to kick his butt.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Like they see Harry Styles holding that record. It's like, ah, we can beat that.

[Mo]

We'll see what happens. Those are Houston headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Dig it, Alex.

[Alex O]

This wanker, Aries Styles will take his record.

[Rod Ryan]

He's not even a cracker. Oh no, he is a cracker.

[Alex O]

He's a cracker. Astros lost the nationals last night 8 to 2. They're now 46 and 49 on the season. They're gonna have a day off today before they open up a weekend series with the race Rangers tomorrow night in Arlington. In soccer World cup quarterfinals are going to start today.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a cracker. Let's hope so.

[Alex O]

Let's hope it is the at 3 o', clock, France is gonna play Morocco for a spot in the semifinals where they're gonna face either Spain or Belgium. You can watch the game on Fox. That is what's going on in sports.

[Rod Ryan]

I've got words. I. I'm kind of. No, I'm not. I'm not ready for the game. It's 8 o'. Clock. I'm a little freaked out.

[Alex O]

Sound ready.

[Rod Ryan]

I am not ready. I need words, suggestions. Need you to send me your word suggestions. I don't want Alex yelling at me. Send me. Send me. Great words, please. Okay? I can't have this kid yelling at me anymore.

[Alex O]

Too late.

[Rod Ryan]

Mo will get an update on Throwback Thursday.

[Chili]

Yes, sir.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm gonna go scan my email. I want great word suggestions for the upcoming read my lips game. Mo versus Al Alex. Okay, what would. What would be good to use? Okay. Doesn't have to be something stupid that we said on the show. Although it could be. It's only the halfway point, kids. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Halfway point of the show, people. Throwback Thursday. Oh, how about an update on.

[Mo]

Is that what you would like? Cuz usually after we talk about the songs, like, some things fluctuate a bit.

[Rod Ryan]

And I heard from eternal intern Michelle. She said that we. The Buzz played that M.I.A song all the time.

[Mo]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

I disagree.

[Chili]

It was.

[Rod Ryan]

It was on my watch. It was 2008. Daddy was here. Daddy was here.

[Mo]

I mean, you've slept since then.

[Rod Ryan]

I never played that song.

[Alex O]

I was a senior in high school.

[Rod Ryan]

Not in the morning. I was here in 08. Okay, did the Wizard. Did you ask him? No, because he has like, the history.

[Mo]

Okay. I'm a Texan rain.

[Rod Ryan]

He's got a graph of every song, whether or not and how many times it's been played. Like back in the day. He'll have all of that. It's crazy. I do not remember that song being. I was around when we played hey.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Mo]

No way.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes, the Buzz played Hey. When I got here, I got off the bus and I'm like, what the hell is this?

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I thought I came to a rock station. A rock alternative station. It rocks. Nah, it was weird. I remember before I moved here. Yep. I was always fine with that. Before I moved here, the Buzz made somewhat national headlines. This radio station, and I was in that. That space. I was the music director of my alternative station in New Orleans, okay? And I remember the record person saying, hey, we got an ad for Barbie. Aqua. Aqua Girl. Aqua. Aqua. Aqua.

[Mo]

Barbie Girl.

[Rod Ryan]

Barbie Girl by Aqua Aqua.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

This radio station played that song.

[Mo]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. But that was in those weirdo chumbawamba and like, Scott and like, all the weird stuff.

[Alex O]

Days go by, so just weird. Vegas.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh my God, I hated that song. I forgot about that. I do not remember Mia being played on this station. Michelle claims she's been listening to the Buzz forever. She claims that we used to play it. I don't know. Well, like Zach united on the overnights.

[Mo]

Folks want to hear it?

[Rod Ryan]

Is it the number one song?

[Mo]

61.

[Rod Ryan]

It's because it's such an outlier and

[Mo]

the Wiz said we played it for a little bit it. When it was early and new, but we didn't stick with it. It became a pop smash too quickly, so we abandoned it.

[Rod Ryan]

That makes sense.

[Mo]

A lot of other alternative stations still play it because it slaps. It slaps.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. All right, so it. So I'll stand by it.

[Alex O]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

It never made it to Mornings Fair. I don't even remember it being an afternoon drive. It seemed like it was one of those overnight things. He said that he kind of led me to believe that they tried it for a little bit.

[Mo]

A little testy test, and then.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, okay. You know when you have something brand new and it's definitely sounds different, it's. There's no question it sounds different. And I'm not saying it's not a good song, but you. You put that on the overnights where it's not going to kill. You know, it's not going to kill you. Just to see. See if it builds a story and then you start working it into other day parts. You can never go wrong with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass ass. Okay, he's got some spins. In the morning, Alex takes on Mo. I'm gonna go through these emails and I'm gonna pull out the greatest words that you said.

[Alex O]

All right?

[Rod Ryan]

I know there's. I know there's some gems in there. I got words. I'm ready to go for the game, but I'm gonna do one final scan of my email. If you have an awesome word or word words that you think would be great for the game, email me directly. Rod, the buzz.com gonna play read my lips. Coming up, Houston's rock, Houston's alternative, and the Rod Ryan morning show. The Buzz. Let's go. Rod Ryan show. You know what? I didn't ask you, Mo, what with this weird Mia song that we never played on the station. I still stay. I still. I'm holding my ground on that. Is there a lot of votes?

[Mo]

We just crossed the 2000 mark.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. So we're an hour away. So that's good. Yeah, that's really good. Mia. Paper planes in the lead and I ranting and raving on this radio station going, wait a minute. That's on my watch. I was here when that song came out. We never played that song. Wizard said that. We did give it some spins. You have a guy that's equally nerdy to Radio Wizard.

[Mo]

Him and the wizard are twins.

[Rod Ryan]

He's in the industry, so he's got kind of. He can see the little man behind the curtain working the levers.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

And pushing the buttons and charts. Yeah. Your guy.

[Mo]

His graphs and charts says we played it four times. Four times. The Wiz says it's probably a couple more than that, but that's how minimal.

[Rod Ryan]

We played it so hard being right all the time. We never played that song four times. Does that count?

[Mo]

This is a graph in a chart. You know, have to believe the graph of the chart.

[Rod Ryan]

But it's in the lead.

[Mo]

It is 62% of the vote.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you vote for that? Even though you love the Strokes and Alex O and everything else? Did you?

[Alex O]

I would not be upset if that went okay. I voted with my friend Alex.

[Mo]

All right.

[Alex O]

Solidarity. Because he's always got my back, so I got his back as well. But I will not be upset if Mia wins.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex O already emailed me and said, rob, God. Game over. The Strokes are gonna win, dude. They're in last place.

[Alex O]

Worst to first, baby.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Got an hour.

[Rod Ryan]

What you got over there?

[Alex O]

I wouldn't hear no bell.

[Rod Ryan]

No, not yet. What's trending?

[Alex O]

Bonnie Tyler has been training all morning. She passed away at the age of 75 from an illness. It was unexpected, though. She'd been dealing with the illness for a while, I think since May. But, yeah, 75 years old. Really sad news. Jack Antonoff is trending. He and his wife, Margaret Qualy, are separating.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know who this is, but when I was putting together the Lookin At Girls blog page, it said, Margaret, Margaret Qualy getting a divorce. So I looked her up, and I'm like, oh, my. Jack Antonoff out. Kicked his coverage or she's spoken.

[Alex O]

All women are beautiful in their own right. Yeah, but what an upgrade. Was it from Lena Dunn to Margaret Quailey?

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my God. I forgot about Lena Dunham. But I mean. And now it's gone.

[Alex O]

Now it's gone just like that.

[Rod Ryan]

But how'd you mess that up?

[Alex O]

Ts and peas to Jack Antonoff and Margaret.

[Chili]

Quality.

[Alex O]

And then Wimbledon's trending. We're in the semifinals right now, and our girl, Coco Gauff is currently playing, trying to earn a spot in the title game. On Saturday morning, she knocked out Pula. Yeah, well, as long as it's like

[Rod Ryan]

an American, I don't really like it's.

[Alex O]

Time for an American to be good at tennis again. All right, let's get.

[Rod Ryan]

Get it.

[Alex O]

Let's get a dub. All right, so let's go, Coco Golf. That's the training at 90 for 5 the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, here we go. What a great push at the very end there. Awesome words.

[Mo]

Oh, you got some good words.

[Rod Ryan]

Awesome words.

[Mo]

Well, we'll see about that.

[Rod Ryan]

I won't take any lip from either one of you.

[Mo]

You're probably gonna get it.

[Rod Ryan]

I won't accept it. It'll be unacceptable. Great words coming your way for the Read My Lips game. Mo is going to take on Alex. They're going to try to win you this.

You're Tuesday. There's something.

[Rod Ryan]

You're almost as funny as Ryan Seacrest. What are you giving away?

[Mo]

I have Black Keys tickets. The Peaches and cream World Tour, July 24th at White Oak Musical.

[Rod Ryan]

Who's the returning champion?

[Mo]

That would be Alex.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex, what would you like to do, Jessica? What do you think we should do, Jessica? You want. Should you go first or second?

[Mo]

Let's go first.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's go first.

[Mo]

Rip it off like a.

[Alex O]

All right.

[Mo]

I agree. Actually, do a good job, Alex.

[Chili]

Good luck.

[Alex O]

I hope I can do a good job. I hope I don't let you down.

[Rod Ryan]

Shuffling, shuffling.

[Chili]

You'll enjoy the song you go and listen to right now.

[Rod Ryan]

Don't let anybody down.

[Chili]

It's.

[Rod Ryan]

All I want to do is make everybody happy. And that's. It's a tough thing.

[Mo]

It's a lot.

[Alex O]

All I want to do is bang, bang, bang, bang.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, here we go.

[Chili]

Oh, I can't hear the song.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, 20 seconds on the clock. This is chili. This is for. This is team Alex playing for Jessica this morning. Alex can no longer hear my voice. Thumbs up.

[Mo]

Heavy chicken.

[Rod Ryan]

Headless chicken.

[Alex O]

Headless chicken.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, headless chicken.

[Mo]

Nice job.

[Rod Ryan]

Was that this morning, Mo?

[Mo]

It was this morning. Fun facts.

[Rod Ryan]

What was that chicken's name? Max?

[Mo]

Mike.

[Rod Ryan]

Mike.

[Mo]

Melvin.

[Rod Ryan]

I think it was Mike.

[Chili]

I think it was Mike. It was Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.

[Rod Ryan]

Headless chicken.

[Mo]

What's wrong with us?

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, I shuffled these, okay? I know the person I was hoping Alex was gonna get this if he. I. I want him to get this wrong. I'll tell him that to his face.

[Chili]

Oh, wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Thumbs up.

[Chili]

Show him favoritism. Let's See?

[Rod Ryan]

Soup sip. Say it again. Soup.

[Alex O]

Soup.

[Rod Ryan]

Sip.

[Chili]

Sip.

[Alex O]

Who's sipping that soup?

[Rod Ryan]

Bring it back. Oh, if he got that.

[Mo]

Raw dreams.

[Alex O]

Give the people what they want.

[Rod Ryan]

If he got that wrong. He's been pushing me to play that game forever. Here.

[Mo]

That was fast.

[Chili]

Give him another word that he can get along.

[Rod Ryan]

That's Tumo.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

You freaking.

[Mo]

I can count. I'm not freaking. Not liking it.

[Rod Ryan]

But Amy was so excited about having you.

[Mo]

Yeah. Time's not up.

[Rod Ryan]

How you feeling about that now? How you feeling now, Amy?

[Mo]

I'm not freaking either. I. I still believe in Mo.

[Chili]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Chili]

How you like them apples?

[Rod Ryan]

A bunch of Michelle sent me stuff. This is Michelle Thompson. Pirate hooker. Saying pirate hooker.

[Alex O]

Something. Hook.

[Rod Ryan]

Pirate hooker.

[Alex O]

Battery. Cook.

[Rod Ryan]

Pirate hooker. Pirate hooker.

[Alex O]

I don't have any clue what you're saying.

[Rod Ryan]

Pirate hooker. Pirate hooker.

[Alex O]

That's dirty and inappropriate. I would never call anybody.

[Rod Ryan]

I think I've called Mo that before.

[Mo]

Yeah,

[Rod Ryan]

I was like, what if? Was that meant for me?

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

No, you're not a pirate.

[Mo]

Ho.

[Chili]

I don't care.

[Alex O]

Not today.

[Mo]

Amy, this one's for you, sister.

[Rod Ryan]

You brought donuts in. You're not a pirate.

[Mo]

Love it.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, two to tie.

Hey,

[Chili]

[Mo]

Mo,

[Chili]

she looks scared.

[Mo]

Not scared.

[Chili]

So quiet.

[Mo]

Scared of the headphones in my ears.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, they're so loud.

[Chili]

Quake whining. It's America's song.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, here we go. Mo's putting on the headphones. She needs two to tie. Chili.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

She also. I mean, I know Alex is 20. Chica's 27 seconds. Oh, she gets 20 seconds, too.

[Chili]

Oh, I thought you wanted me to give her 10 seconds.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, here we go. First word. Football cracker.

[Mo]

Football cracker.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow.

[Mo]

You didn't do thumbs up?

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I didn't do thumbs up.

[Chili]

Oh, now she talking this.

[Rod Ryan]

Football crackers.

[Alex O]

You didn't do thumbs up on my girl.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, did I? Forget about thumbs up.

[Mo]

Freaking me out.

[Chili]

Okay, you know what?

[Alex O]

You got the point. I didn't say.

[Rod Ryan]

Apparently, all we talk about is soup on this show. Oh, thumbs up.

[Mo]

What did he just say?

[Chili]

Thumbs up says you're gonna get this wrong.

[Rod Ryan]

Football cracker. Was John Matthew sent this in? Bowling soup.

[Mo]

Bowling soup.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow. Come on, guys. What's going on?

[Chili]

Bowling for soup.

[Rod Ryan]

Bowling for soup. Both Mo and Alex got very excited about that concert announcement in here. You like them, Chili?

[Chili]

I've heard their song. Yeah, but they've been on Throwback Thursday.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what, 1985?

[Chili]

That's what. That sunlight. That sounds like a disco song.

[Rod Ryan]

Like they got a Couple weird. It's fun.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, Amy. She's got two in insane speeds.

[Chili]

Yeah, she's been fast.

[Mo]

I said, I'm not worried at all. He's got this. My ears are hurting.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, here we go. She's like, please.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know where that came. When you asked him, you said, hey, Dirty Daddy, would you go get us some. I did not.

[Alex O]

I would never.

[Mo]

You said, daddy is.

[Alex O]

So you told us.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what you said. A dirty people on Ed. Would you. Would you be my dirty daddy and go get us some. Some donuts?

Got to go, Daddy.

Dirty Daddy.

Like turkey.

[Rod Ryan]

You say it all the time.

[Chili]

Every time he texts you, that's what pops up when the color.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what his name is in your phone. Dirty Daddy's calling.

[Chili]

Dirty fatty.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know where that came from. Who sent that in? What are you thinking of? Dirty Daddy. I thought it sounded funny. Apparently, it was hard. Dirty Daddy. Rusty. Thank you. Rusty.

[Chili]

Rusty.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. I know what you wanted to say.

[Chili]

I. I can't think. I almost said it, and I was

[Rod Ryan]

like, no, I know what you wanted to say.

[Chili]

Yes. You made me somewhere.

[Rod Ryan]

Overtime rules. I'm gonna say the word. Keep timing. And you know how quickly they get these in overtime. For some reason, they always kick into an extra gear here. Chill.

[Rod Ryan]

Why?

[Chili]

He lost time by laughing.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Why? Why'd you laugh?

[Chili]

Why'd you laugh?

[Rod Ryan]

He lost.

[Alex O]

Mistake. I waited my whole life for that one.

[Rod Ryan]

He is the. He is the specialist on this show. It's almost unfair. You're right.

[Alex O]

He.

[Rod Ryan]

He's going to get Mo now.

[Chili]

Yeah. When he did that, I was like, ah. All right.

[Mo]

Yelling.

[Rod Ryan]

Hi, Mo.

[Alex O]

Yeah, you're yelling.

[Rod Ryan]

Welcome back.

[Mo]

the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[Chili]

94.

[Mo]

5 the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show on this Throwback Thursday. Really quick, funny email from Rusty. Rod, I'm laughing my ass off listening to Read My Lips this morning. I never imagined y' all would have so much fun with one of my stupid word suggestions. I swear, it was just totally random. I have loved the show ever since day one. 21 year listener. Love you guys. Rusty. He submitted. He submitted Dirty Daddy.

[Mo]

You dirty daddy.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, real quick. I mentioned that it's Throwback Thursday. The winning song is going to be played today at 9:30. Why did you ask me what is the record total number of votes?

[Mo]

I feel like we talk about it all the time, especially when it gets, like, high.

[Rod Ryan]

When it gets to 3,000, I'm always running around here saying, oh, my God, that's a record. That's a record. And then wizard comes in like, oh, that's not a record. I've got my notes right here.

[Mo]

Getting close to 3,000.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Yeah, I think all the votes are for one song.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I think something like, there might have been a Pantera day.

[Chili]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

That had 3, 500 votes. Or we may have cracked 4,000 whiz.

[Mo]

Remind us. I'll write it down this time, I swear.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I got those numbers right here.

[Mo]

Print the graph for me so I can hang it up.

[Rod Ryan]

I never thought. I never thought you'd ask.

[Mo]

I love him.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, let's go one final time. Houston's headlines, please.

[Mo]

Yes, sir. So we continue to follow the story of the Houston. Houston ICE shooting. Yesterday, we heard from the victim's family. We heard from local leaders, activists, all calling for transparency in the investigation. Mr. Mr. Lorenzo Saldago was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Houston on Tuesday. Hundreds of people gathered in Houston's Magnolia park neighborhood and marched along Canal street last night. They dropped off candles, flowers, handwritten notes and crosses at a growing memorial marking the spot of the incident. Other national news, Democrats. Democratic Senate candidate Graham Planter Platner has suspended his main campaign after a former girlfriend accused him of sexual assault. So he posted his video on social media yesterday. You know, he's the oyster farmer, the military veteran. He said he's going to withdraw from the ballot and that what comes next should come from the people of Maine. This is a major headline because Maine is a key battleground state. They frequently decide control of the U.S. senate and their senators act as crucial swing votes that can make or break national laws that you and I abide by.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm sorry. I was kind of over here, trapped in my own thoughts. Did you say that he's dropping out?

[Mo]

Dropping out.

[Rod Ryan]

But he is also not admitting guilt?

Correct.

[Mo]

Continues to deny the allegations.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Yes. They have till July 27 to pick a replacement. Yesterday we talked about the cyclospora spread and how we gotta wash our hands and our produce a little extra and how it's bad in Texas.

[Rod Ryan]

Somebody sent in for Read My Lips Dirty Raspberries.

Oh, no.

[Mo]

Taco Bell is feeling the effects of this. They're pulling some of their fresh ingredients, just precautionary. Lettuce, pico, guac. They have a cilantro onion blend at some locations, so don't be surprised if your order is a little light. That's why. Now, you know. We saw breaking news this morning that Bonnie Tyler had died. She was 75. Back in May. It was back in May when she had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency, emergency intestinal surgery. She's not from Portugal. No, she's Welsh.

[Chili]

Oh.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know what she is.

[Mo]

I think a lot about her this morning.

[Rod Ryan]

English? Something like that. Yeah.

[Mo]

Also saw, like, the sweetest interviews of her, talking about this song and how she just knew that this is what people wanted to hear when they came to see her.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

So she had no shame in playing it over and over again. Her family obviously asking for privacy to deal with this Tragedy. You're gonna see her name a lot today.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a huge song. I think I might have had this on 45 when I was a kid. God, I'm old.

[Mo]

Do you want to sing it right now?

[Rod Ryan]

No, I can't.

[Chili]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Turn around, bro. Don't invite me to sing.

[Mo]

This one also invites you to sing because apparently people have been singing the line from welcome to the Jungle wrong. Okay. This all started because Slash's girlfriend posted a video of him standing on a teleprompter. And it shows the lyric, suck down, Suck down, Suck down. Yeah. Apparently people have been singing so down, so down, so down.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

And now you know.

[Rod Ryan]

You can hear the K. Can you? Yeah. Here's the isolated vocals. When you're high, you never want.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Suck down.

[Mo]

When it's isolated like that, I can definitely tell, but I understand where the confusion is coming from.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Sucked down.

[Alex O]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

There's a.

[Mo]

Don't get it wrong.

[Rod Ryan]

There's a huge list of, like, all the misunderstood lyrics in rock and what you've been doing wrong. I've never seen this song on the list before.

[Mo]

Really?

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I wonder why.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, because you said somebody just recently. I just. I've been getting it right. I've been getting it right for 30 years.

[Mo]

Crowd over there just is always getting it right. Those are Houston setbacks.

[Rod Ryan]

What you got?

[Alex O]

The Astros lost the nationals last night, 8 to 2. They're now 46 and 49 on the year. They're gonna have a day off today before they open up a weekend series with the Rangers tomorrow night in Arlington. In soccer, the World cup quarterfinals start today at 3 o'. Clock. France is gonna play Morocco. The winner is going to play either Spain or Belgium in the semifinals. You can watch that game on Fox. That is what's going on in sports.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a cracker. Guys, we only got one more hour. All right, let's see if we can get. Are we over 3,000 votes?

[Mo]

Almost.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, I got AC DC tickets coming up. I got the winning song. Which. Get an update from Mo. She's talking about total votes. Boats. But have things moved around? Is Mia gonna hang on to this lead? We'll find out. AC DC tickets at 9. 10. My Chemical Romance tickets on Mow the Show at 9. 50. Come on, guys.

[Alex O]

Houston's Rock and Alternative and the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[Rod Ryan]

Six to 10:00am, the Buzz. 94. Five, the Buzz. Good morning, Rob Ryan show. Thank you. Sorry, just moving around some stuff here. Okay. Hey, thanks for hanging out with us. I want all kinds of Updates and quick little story.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex O]

What's up?

[Rod Ryan]

Radio wizard was just in here.

[Mo]

Just popped in.

[Rod Ryan]

He's like, dude, I love that shirt. Honest to God, if I'm lying, I'm dying.

[Mo]

Correct. You are not lying.

[Rod Ryan]

My boss looks at me and said, dude, I love that shirt. And I said, take another look, dude. He goes, oh, where'd you get that? I go, it's in the store. Literally, we're selling this shirt right now. It's like, oh, I gotta get in the store, you mother.

[Mo]

He almost came over this board right at the whiz.

[Alex O]

These people are paying attention.

[Rod Ryan]

Your ball, boss.

[Mo]

You're.

[Rod Ryan]

You have this shirt, Alex.

[Alex O]

Yeah, I do. I was aware of where it was from.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

He's like, oh, my God. Cool shirt, dude. He didn't know.

[Alex O]

And this is why we don't pay attention to his emails.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. Good morning, everybody. Yeah. I am wearing one of our new shirts, the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store. We're selling great shirts like this. Maybe you'll be wearing this shirt at work and your friends will go, oh, my gosh. Cool shirt. Cool shirt, bro. Where'd you get that? Like, oh, yeah, the Rod Ryan Show Cares online store.

[Mo]

It's for the kids.

[Rod Ryan]

For the kids. Backpacks, all of that good stuff.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Real quick. What's up, boy? What a big day. You're right. There's a ton of votes coming in for Throwback Thursday today. Why don't you just run down the list? How many votes total?

[Mo]

We are currently sitting at 3,292 votes.

[Rod Ryan]

That's. That's getting into record territory. Until wizard comes in here and tells me, oh, that one time we did 4,000. Last place, the Strokes.

Yes.

[Mo]

They have 8% of the votes.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a great song. It's a great song. It's a fun song. Alex. O. I. I like that guy. It's like, is that his favorite band, Alex?

[Alex O]

It is.

[Chili]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. By the way, Josh Tree's pissed.

[Alex O]

We've discussed it. We're fine.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't know you had another boy. I thought you were Marilyn Manson has a. A great history on Throwback Thursday of winning when he's in there. It's a cover song, which is. Cover songs do well on Throwback Thursday.

[Mo]

Marilyn Manson in second place, 17% of the votes.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my gosh. It is a.

[Mo]

Why'd you even ask?

[Rod Ryan]

Massacre. Isn't that crazy, Mia?

[Mo]

I have no idea.

[Rod Ryan]

Never played on this station. Paper planes. What percentage?

[Mo]

Paper Planes. Lions is in the lead with 73% of the votes.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow, that's insane.

[Mo]

Until 9:30.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, winning song's gonna be played at 9:30. You know what I just realized? We're being robbed of Huey Lewis and the news. They should be on every show. Like, okay, for instance, the Disney 250th celebration. You had all these bands and stuff like that, okay? Huey Lewis could be plugged into every single show. Even I Heart shows. They have a million hits, okay? They're not available. Huey Lewis can't hear. He's got a hearing problem. He can't sing. I didn't know this.

This.

[Mo]

I think I assumed they were just really old, so that's why they weren't.

[Rod Ryan]

These nostalgia songs.

[Mo]

Yeah, people love that right now.

[Rod Ryan]

Who wouldn't love hearing all of these songs? Huey Lewis just turned 76 himself on Sunday. Just did an interview, and he shared more details. I knew that his hearing was bad. I didn't know that his Meniere disease has absolutely ruined music for him. Okay? He's been living with this for years. In this new interview, he was on a podcast and he said, at a certain point, you just gotta kind of face the music. He goes, I can't hear music anymore. He goes, music is absolutely a zero part of my life now. And he says it's very tough. They could be mopping up. I'm not making a joke here. They could be mopping up with tons of hits. The cochlear that he has an implant hearing device is his only reliable form of hearing now. It distorts music in a way that it. It distorts some people's voices. He said he can't sing. He goes, I wouldn't even try to sing for you. He goes, I. I know I can't do. Makes the pitch impossible to hear. So he can hear conversations and he can pull things out. But he said, for all practical purposes, he's deaf. Like, I had to remind you how big Bryan Adams was now. Brian Adams bigger. Sold more albums, okay? But Huey Lewis, I didn't even look it up. They must have sold 30 million albums. All that stuff with Back to the Future and everything else that they did, you could plug them into everything. They could be on every. They could be out on tour right now with Brian Adams and making tons of money. I hope they put their money away. Huey Lewis, hearing loss. So bad music no longer a part of his life. If you want to see the pod, I've got a link to the podcast where he's talking about it. He added that the implant. Implant makes people sound like they took a hit of helium. That's what the cochlear does.

[Alex O]

It does give you the ability to hear.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex O]

Cochlear implants. Such an incredible, like, thing that happened.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

As far as technology.

[Chili]

Yeah. But just.

[Alex O]

Yeah. If you're a musician. Absolutely.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. He said the interviews, the interviewer's voice sounded like Mickey Mouse, what he remembers Mickey Mouse sounding like. He says that's what the cochlear does. It at least allows him to hear.

[Alex O]

It's like a lot of times, it's like that's the first time people hear with a cochlear implant. If you don't know what voices are, at least you're able to communicate with people.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes, absolutely. So he's coming from.

[Alex O]

He doesn't have pitch and all that stuff. Yeah, absolutely.

[Rod Ryan]

It's like somebody that could see all their lives and then they go blind. They know what Blue looks like.

[Alex O]

He can, like, still talk to his grandchildren or whatever.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah. No music.

[Mo]

So sad.

[Rod Ryan]

I. I think I. I'm telling you. I just think because you said it's

[Mo]

old, that's why I just assumed who's

[Rod Ryan]

having a better run right now than Billy Idol? It's same old. Same. Same time frame. You know, he would be everywhere. He would be everywhere playing if he could. If you want to see the podcast, if you want to listen to the podcast, there's a link up on the music blog page. I could play 10 more songs by these guys. Let's give away some tickets.

[Mo]

You want to.

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

When do you pee?

[Rod Ryan]

The number one answer is 90 to 120 minutes. 70% of our audience says 90 to 120 minutes. It's these superhero movies that got you guys watching these movies for such a long time. Too long. 20, 21. 120 to 150. People like Lord Longer movies, which maybe you feel like you're getting more for your money. I don't know. It's too long. Radio wizard. You like my shirt?

[Rod Ryan]

I did. Okay. Since that time where I walked in 10 minutes ago, I went and bought one. Don't lie to me. You looked through the song and you told me to go see these things, but Mo had requested numbers, so I thought I'd come in and say hi.

[Rod Ryan]

Just for the people watching on, I actually have a spreadsheet with all of this stuff. Hey, I Actually do spreadsheet.

[Chili]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

Is this the most votes we've ever had? It's the most votes we've ever had for an individual song.

[Rod Ryan]

There is a record.

[Chili]

[Rod Ryan]

Now, the most we've had this year was in January, 6800 for saliva. And then 6:00am Life is beautiful, we had 5000 for the total game, 2200. But, Mia, this is the most votes

[Mo]

for a song, single song.

[Chili]

That's it.

[Mo]

What does that mean to you?

[Alex O]

My gosh.

[Rod Ryan]

I'll be giving a clinic at 10:00am if any. Now, just. Just 30 seconds.

[Chili]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

This song was not played on the Buzz a little bit. It was played a little bit. A very, very little.

[Chili]

You're right, Ron.

[Rod Ryan]

But it was overnight, so you wouldn't have heard it. Never made it to morning, never made it to daytime, and then it just crossed over to pop so quickly. I was kind of like, eh, we're not going there. And Michelle, eternal intern Michelle blind. Yes, we all agree that. But I thought she had great ears before she said the Buzz played this song all the time. She nailed it. What a memory. We're about to play this song on this radio station. Probably hasn't been played in 15 years on this stage or more. Wow. Oh, Alex, I killed the opener. All right, well, listen, it's a new record for a single song being played on Throwback Thursday. Thank you all for voting.

[Alex O]

94. 5 the Buzz. Blink 182. Check your radio dial. Yeah, it's the buzz. Of course we're playing that. Check your radio dial. Mia Paper planes. Now. Hang on a second.

[Mo]

The amount of emails I'm getting, it's crazy, huh? So fun.

[Rod Ryan]

So that's Wisconsin. Matthew that sent in that and he's

[Mo]

the one that requested.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just approved. Here you. That even when I think the songs are ridiculous that you guys suggest I still send them to the Wizard. I'm like. Because he likes that stuff. He's like, oh, you know, this guy obviously listens to the buzz. He's like, but what about trying this stuff out on Throwback Thursday? And I'll get some weird stuff. Okay. I'll get some classic rock things that some people will, you know, once in a while to tell me to add for Throwback Thursday. Which doesn't make sense. Although we had. We did do Tom Petty when Tom Petty passed away.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

That thing totally broke the rules.

[Mo]

Passed away.

[Rod Ryan]

We did Ozzy when Ozzy passed away, naturally. But he said, thanks, guys. Great Throwback Thursday. Thanks for putting in my song Whiz. Best regards, Wisconsin. Matthew Jacob says, technically it's a rock song. They did sample the Clash. Alex, you mentioned that. They do sample the Clash on that song.

[Alex O]

Straight to hell.

[Rod Ryan]

Technically a rock song. I don't know. If you got to say it's. Why do you got to put technically in there? Then that means it's not technically.

[Chili]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

They sampled. There's plenty of pop songs that sampled rock songs. I don't think that makes it technically a rock song. I think they just. They sampled it. It still remains a pop song. That song had all its success in the pop world for sure. Cool. Sounded different. I like it. I do like playing different stuff. I just think it had to confuse somebody that turned on the radio for sure and was thinking, wait a minute, what happened to the buzz?

[Mo]

What station?

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, they finally got rid of them. Oh, my God. You hear that? Like, ah. They must have got rid of Ross. They're going pop. They're going pop. What are you giving away on Mo the show today?
