[B]

Hey, I don't care.

[A]

We got Monday off, right?

[B]

That's right.

[A]

All right. Long weekend. What do you got in Houston's headlines?

[B]

So you've seen Trump's $1.8 billion anti weaponization fund in the headlines.

[A]

They had no I'm already checked out.

[B]

Oh, yeah. So they had hoped to make progress before the Memorial Day holiday, but things ran into a wall of Republican resistance over the last two days. And now the Senate is on a break in the middle of that and the ballroom funding fight, Rod, they don't come back from their recess until June 1st.

[A]

That's quite the break.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

NASCAR's Kyle Busch died yesterday as a result of an undisclosed severe illness. Kyle was only 41 years old. A statement from NASCAR called his passing sudden and tragic, adding that he was a fierce, passionate, immensely skilled and quote, cared deeply about the sport and the fans. Kyle is survived by his wife, Samantha, and their two children. So during a race two weekends ago, May 10, Kyle was struggling with a sinus cold. It was worsened by, of course, the intense G forces, elevation changes. He radioed at the end of the race asking for a doctor to be ready with a shot for him. Well, he competed in two races last weekend. Supposed to be on track this weekend in Charlotte. That's when we heard all of this news. Oh, you can't rain on our holiday weekend. I know we're talking about rain. Rain is going to come. But we're still lighting up the girls, right?

[A]

Yeah, I am.

[B]

Okay. So I see this new report looking into the most likely Memorial Day holiday side dishes across the country.

[A]

Oh, please.

[B]

They do, like, a state by state breakdown. And I'm giddy. I'm, like, scrolling down like, weirdo. Want to see what Texas is?

[A]

Potato salad.

[B]

It was salad. Rod salad. Just salad.

[A]

Like leafy greens?

[B]

No, it just. It put them all into one. But the fact that Texas and salad were next to each other just, like, kind of crushed my soul a little bit.

[A]

Well, it was side dishes. You're not talking. We're not taking away from being the barbecue capital of the world. Side dishes.

[B]

It still felt.

[A]

Did you. Would you rather it be beans?

[B]

Maybe beans. Even Mac and cheese wouldn't have hurt me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There's something about the word salad that hurt me.

[A]

This morning I'm making potato salad and pasta salad. Tuna. Yeah. Salad, of course, requested by my kids.

[B]

They're gonna be there, but is that the number one side in Texas? They looked. I looked into how they got to this, and it's what we're googling. So I guess that's. We're looking up recipes for salads.

[A]

I googled. So did I. I bought wagon wheel pasta for my unique. Yeah, I Can't. I normally can't find it.

[B]

It'll soak up the everything.

[A]

The wagon wheels are killer.

[B]

Good job, Rod. Last night, the Late show with Stephen Colbert ended its 11 year run inside Globe. Tons of celebrities popped in. They were like thinking they were going to be his last guest. That was funny. But Steven's real last guest was Paul McCartney.

[A]

Yeah, it doesn't get much bigger than that.

[B]

Yeah. Their interview got interrupted by an interdimensional wormhole that opened backstage. A wormhole.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's a, you know, deeper rooted meaning where they were jumping into the wormhole, sucking everyone into a wormhole.

[A]

Try to be smart. Well, Neil Degrasse Tyson. Right.

[B]

Like, came out of the wormhole, explained it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Two contradictory realities existing in one Colbert show was number one, but also got canceled. Jumping into the wormhole. They had all the other late night hosts come in and they were all getting sucked into the wormhole. It was very well thought out.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Paul McCartney as a final guest is huge.

[B]

That's huge. A new announcement came from Spotify that caught my eye. They're gonna allow artists to reserve concert tickets for their top listeners. So if you're spending a lot of time streaming your favorite artists and you still feel like those online ticket queues can be long, tickets can be pricey. All the seats you want are bought up by the time it's your turn. Spotify teaming up with artists for new reserved system.

[F]

Still gonna brag about being like, I'm in the top 7% of Lady Gaga listeners.

[B]

Yeah, Lady Gaga likes you.

[A]

You still have to pay.

[B]

You still have to pay, but you might.

[F]

You get better access. Yeah, I don't hate that.

[B]

I'm kind of torn on it. I agree.

[A]

Listen to us win free tickets. That's what I would do.

[B]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Alex is a big iheart guy. I don't know if you know that. Huge Iheart guy.

[F]

I've never heard of Spotify. Is that a new company?

[A]

So lucky to have you on our team.

[F]

Sports Astros are back in action. This afternoon they're gonna open up a weekend series with the Cubs on the road. Spencer Araghetti will be on the mound for the Stroz. Going up against Chicago's Jamison Talion. First pitches at 120. You can listen to it on our sister stat. Sports Talk 790. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Cavs 109 and 93 to take a 20 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. And in the Stanley cup playoffs, the Canadiens blew out the Hurricane 6 to 2 to take game one of the Eastern Conference finals. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

Wait a minute. The Hurricanes lost.

[F]

Yeah. First time this.

[A]

First time in the postseason. Holy craps. Okay, here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. Free beer Friday. First phone call today is going to be our first beer winner.

Another case of beer coming your way straight up at 7 o' clock and our champion continues doing what he does, the Fresh out of bed Head to Head challenge. Here's your current champion. Okay, I' rolling.

Gotta wait for it. There it is. There it is. All right, some sold out tickets coming your way. But first, 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. Got some fun facts to share with you guys today. And then we'll flash back for those sold out tickets. But here's some. Hopefully some new knowledge for you. Hal probably knows all these things. Good morning, Hal. Try, try me. Let's go. Some of the most iconic looks of the late, great David Bowie. I mean, was there a better, better dresser? Was there a more iconic guy? David Bowie. Just the different eras of David Bowie and the looks and everything was an icon. Some of those iconic characters, most of them came from a costume designer. Her name was Ola Hudson, the mother of Saul Hudson. You know him as Slash from Guns N Roses.

[B]

That seems incestually weird to me.

[A]

Yeah, his mom, I didn't know that. Slash said growing up, he said he just saw Bowie and all these people at the house and stuff like that. His mom dressed everybody back in the day. Yeah, she was a seamstress. Costume designer. Yeah. When Guns N Roses went to go get signed at Geffen Records, David Geffen recognized him. And Slash didn't say anything like he didn't want to be signed because, hey, this guy knows my mom. Slash was in there wasted, hat over his head, couldn't see his eyes. He just sat there. Didn't say anything to David Geffen. But David Geffen knew who he was. He's like, hey, that's the oldest kid.

[B]

Wild.

[A]

This is one of those probability things. If you properly shuffle a deck of playing cards and you lay them out, the odds. Odds are overwhelming that the order of those cards has never been been seen before in the history of man. That is fun. There are 52 factorial combinations. That number is so long, it would take me a minute and a half to say it. But yeah, when you shuffle a deck of cards and you lay them out, chances are that's never been the order ever before. Why are you looking at me like you got indigestion? I just don't know why they're so worried then in Vegas about. I know, like, how could you possibly. I'm talking about just one deck. Hell, you play these multiple decks and they're accusing people of counting silly games. Yeah, the technical term for a burp. Well, you know, I mean, listen, I gotta send you off on something light Tight and bright here. It's not a belch. It's an eruc. Eructation. That's neat. God, I just had a really embarrassing eructation in front of Mo. Just means I burped.

[B]

That's a good day.

[A]

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. Okay, tell me about these sold out tickets you got.

[B]

Tame Impala is sold out September 19th at the Toyota Center. And we have a pair of tickets for you if you know this flashback.

[A]

Okay. It's your fun back fl. I thought this was the most interesting one. Yesterday. America has more than 53,000 of these. It's more than all the Starbucks, McDonald's and subways combined. We have 53. We have over 53,000 of these. The rest of the world only has 10,000. What. What, what is. What do we have so much of? 713-212-5945. It's now time for rock out with your stock. Out with Captain Cash. You said you're down to one one of these. You gonna answer this out loud? No, I'm just saying. Yes, I'm down to one. I'm down to one. Okay. I want to get rid of it. You're contributing to the 53,000. That is correct. Me too.

[B]

Oh. I was like, what are y' all talking about?

[A]

Oh, how we do on Wall street yesterday. A good day on Wall Street. The dow is up 276 points. Kickoff this morning at 50,285. Nasdaq up 22 to 26,293. Benchmark 10 year treasuries trading at a 4.56%.

You are listening to the Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan Show. If you follow the Offspring on Instagram, you'll see our very own Dexter, who you just heard singing there, who graduated from USC. He got his Bachelor's, Master's, and his PhD there. He gave the commencement speech. He's talking to the kids, you know, pursue your dreams and all of that. That. And then he tells a story about writing Keep him separated while he's in the lab. He wrote the song while he was attending school at usc. And he's cleaning out like beakers and Bunsen burners and all that stuff. He wrote the song Keep him separated. Holy crap. Yeah, Pretty smart. Fell. Yeah, it's pretty cool. You should follow the Offspring on Instagram. They're. They're a pretty good follow. We are too. Rob Ryan Show. We should. I mean, Nobody's got their PhD, but yet you got some bachelor' degrees here. That, you know, put out some pretty good content. All right. Hey, Mo, let's get right after it here.

[B]

Yes, sir.

[A]

Houston's headlines, what you got?

[B]

All right, so you've seen Trump's $1.8 billion anti weaponization fund in the headlines. And they had hoped to make progress before the Memorial Day holiday, but things ran into a wall of Republican resistance over the last two days. And now the Senate is on break in the middle of all that and the whole ballroom funding fight. Yeah, they get back from the recess on June 1st. So everything's just paused, I think.

[F]

A little break, though.

[D]

Working hard.

[B]

NASCAR's Kyle Busch died yesterday as the result of an undisclosed severe illness. He was only 41 years old. A statement from NASCAR called his passing sudden and tragic, adding that he was fierce, passionate, immensely skilled, and quote, cared deeply about the sport and fans. He survived by his wife, Samantha, and their two children. So during a race two weekends ago, May 10, he was struggling with some sort of sinus cold that had worsened by the intense G forces elevation changes he was experiencing during the race. He radioed his crew towards the end of the race, asking for a doctor to be ready with a shot for him at the end of the race.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

He also competed in two races last weekend. So this guy's to be in Charlotte just, like, doing it.

[A]

When I hear, like, NASCAR drivers like, okay, this is a guy that, like, back in the day was the guy. He's in the prime of his career.

[B]

I looked up, like right now in standings, which I don't even know if that's good or bad. He was 24th, like, planning on. He would be a Hall of Famer. Still going to be in the hall of Fame. Legendary career. One of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Shout out to Memorial Day. And shout out to the 45 million Americans who will travel at least 50 miles from their home this weekend.

[A]

Everybody left already. There was nobody on the road.

[B]

Most of them are already gone, according to Rod Ryan.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Slow commute this morning.

[A]

I didn't know we were supposed to take today off to.

[B]

No one told us.

[A]

I've been doing this for a long time.

[B]

Yeah, you haven't. You don't have a finger on the pulse.

[A]

It got me again. They got me to come in on that Friday again.

[B]

Triple A expects those numbers to break last year's record of traveling over Memorial Day. Vehicle and air travel expected to be out from last year, just barely, but that's how things happen. The national average for a gallon of regular gas was $3, 17 cents. Memorial Day weekend last year. 3 17.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Currently it's 456.

[A]

I thought we don't have any money to travel. Why? Everybody's traveling.

[B]

They're going.

[F]

Nobody cares if they don't have money.

[B]

Like we will find 50 miles isn't that far.

[A]

But that's the metrics that they use every year. So you gotta to compare year after year. You gotta use that same the bar. So the bar is going 50 miles minimum from your house.

[B]

Less traffic early in the morning. If you leave around noon, that's when the delays are popping off.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

TMZ got some footage from Britney Spears DUI arrest back in March.

[A]

I got audio if you want to hear it.

[B]

Can you just play it and then I'll see how it sounds and I'll explain it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I. I just feel like dashboard footage, right? Britney Spears, like she's pulled over.

[A]

Yeah. It's like vest cam. Okay, so it's the audio.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Just tell me if you can hear it. I. I hate to spoil it, but she offers the office, the officers that pull her over.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

She's like, why don't you come on over, I'll make you a lasagna. Stop. Like, can we talk about this?

[B]

Stop play.

[F]

I want to hear actually said that.

[A]

I hope you can hear it while we're talking. Can you turn the vehicle off? No. Can I go follow you up there so I'm not on the street with all these people?

[D]

What if we have you get out

[A]

I have a pool.

[B]

[A]

[B]

and they went, right?

[A]

No.

[B]

Oh, they didn't.

[A]

She. She needs help, man.

[B]

It's bad. Yeah, there's more. That's just like a clip of it on.

[A]

She needs the conservatorship or whatever that is, but she needs something. I. She needs something.

[B]

The police officer goes on to tell her that, like, she could have killed someone. And she's like, I know my mom killed Someone back in the day.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Police officer. The whole story of that. That really did happen.

[A]

She ratted out her mom.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah. My mom killed somebody back.

[B]

And then she goes on, she's like, my mom almost killed me too. And then just. It was a lot. Your favorite guy. Jelly Roll is trending today, Rod. It is because of hockey. So I am kind of sorry for that. Jelly Rolls Rise up is a new theme song for the Stanley cup players.

[A]

[F]

[A]

[B]

[A]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[B]

Kinda what it makes it sound like. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Thank you. What you got, Alex?

[F]

Spencer Arrighetti will be on the mound for the Strozz going up against Chicago's Jameson Talian. First pitches at 120 and you can listen to it on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Cavs 109 to 93 to take a 20 lead in the Eastern Conference finals and Stanley cup playoffs. The Canadiens blew out the Hurricanes 6 to 2 to take game one of the Eastern Conference finals. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

It's kind of hard watching that jelly roll clip.

[D]

course kind of guy.

[A]

I want to talk about food. It's all, I don't care. You won the beer. Who cares? I want to know what side dishes you're making. Dude. I want to know about the food at Alan's house.

[B]

Shrimp.

[A]

What's going with the shrimp? Coleslaw?

[D]

No, not coleslaw. I don't really figure that out yet. I usually just eat a bunch of shrimp.

[A]

Why the hate on the coleslaw? I love coleslaw.

[B]

I'm with him, though.

[A]

I don't understand shrimp. There's a hatred of coleslaw out there. You either love it or hate it. I am a coleslaw guy. I love it. Alan, you are the 10th caller.

[D]

It's not too bad.

Sorry to give you a hard time. You won the beer, dude.

Same. I'm thinking about adding it to my grocery pickup.

[A]

I think.

[B]

No, you know what?

[A]

I think I might have some shrimp in the freezer.

[B]

Willies, you get it to go, they wrap it up, throw it over your shoulder and just skip on into your party.

[A]

Willie, shrimp is badass.

[B]

It is so good.

[A]

He ate that with his shrimp.

[A]

He's just going, all proteins, no sides.

[B]

Respect.

[A]

Just an avalanche of proteins at Alan's house. I don't need any sides. You know, we heard that Blue October song off the top, and I don't think I've talked too much about it. We talked a lot about the. The blue Christmas shows that we have with Blue October. There's three of them. Now. We're going to give you tickets to the newly added third night, December 20th at the 713Music Hall. But what are they playing? Well, it's the 20th anniversary. Anniversary of the song you just heard that comes from the album Foiled, and they're doing the entire album. Okay. There's a ton of songs that I probably saw at some point at a live Blue October show. Don't remember. I don't Remember ever hearing 18th floor balcony, and that's the last song on the Foiled album. It's one of my favorites. I don't know that I've ever heard that live. Fun fact. Fact about the song 18th Floor Balcony, in my humble opinion. And I don't have the best sniffer in the world, but Justin makes cologne.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And one of them is called 18th Floor Balcony. He gave me a little sampler of the four.

[B]

You wear it.

[A]

That's the best one. I'm out.

[B]

That's your.

[A]

I got to get more. I'm out of it. That I thought was the best of the three. And then everybody. Even this. My sister must have been in town. Everybody agreed, like, that was, like, the best. The one that was the 1:1. But if you don't know, Justin makes fragrances. They're all really, really awesome. Have you smelled better rock stars when those guys came in?

[B]

I mean, I did comment on their fragrance.

[A]

They smell good. You know, they don't smell like gutter rats. No. Blue October, these are. These guys have been around.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They got their own fragrance company. So I. I don't know if everybody knew that they were playing Foiled from start to finish. And then they'll. Blue Cross do hits, too. And then, you know, they're not going to be done just playing that one album. But yeah, Justin also, he's. There's got to be a fancy name for a fragrancer, like the fancy name

[B]

for the person that knows wine.

[A]

Like a clothier.

[B]

Sol Mignet.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

A fragrancer.

[A]

A fragrancer.

[B]

A fragrance.

[A]

A fragrancer. I think that's what it's called.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I doubt it. I doubt it.

[B]

I believe you.

[A]

All right. Chili said, would you please tell people to vote? Vote for the name of the shot at Ditch Day.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

He's got a poll question up today on links and guests. He's skipping the X. He's got it for you. I do want to discuss that coming up. I do want to jump around a little bit, if you don't mind. Do you guys still want to jump around, please? We're here.

[B]

Still a top quarterback in the league.

He's 38 years old. You're older than me. So I. I'm still haven't hit my prime yet.

bucket if we go see scary movie 6.

[A]

What happened to the people that built pyramids? Okay. And have popcorn buckets? How did we evolve from building pyramids to wondering what the popcorn bucket's gonna look like in a movie?

[F]

We gotta blame Timothee Chalamet's fleshlight popcorn bucket for really starting this whole thing.

He's a first battle hall of famer, dude.

[B]

I know. It's really freaking sad.

[A]

And nobody. He wasn't really sick or ill for a long time or anything like that.

Two weekends ago he was racing and at the end of the race, he called for his doctor to meet him at his bus and then he raced.

Sensei stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

Every barbecue joint in this city in the state gives you potato salad with your barbecue.

[B]

I know.

[A]

So that's a salad. Mo.

[B]

This is the word salad. I know, but hurt me.

[A]

It's a salad.

[B]

It's potato.

[A]

Potato salad. They don't just give you a potato, they give you a salad.

[B]

I take just a potato.

[F]

A potato would be pretty good.

[B]

I'd rather have a potato.

[A]

[A]

Tri colored spiral.

[B]

Pretty jackass.

[D]

You're bringing something.

[B]

I'm Just salading.

[A]

See? Sure you're salading.

[B]

I just don't want to call it that. I wish it would have said like pasta salad. Okay, carbs. The Late show with Stephen Colbert ended its 11 year run last night. It ended inside of snow globe. That was the very last point.

[A]

I guess you've tried to explain this black hole to me and Neil Degrassi

[B]

Tyson didn't get it.

[A]

No, I guess you gotta watch.

[B]

It all opened up. People were falling in it. They say the wormhole sucked everyone in. In a wormhole is a play on the whole, he was number one, but also was canceled.

[A]

Hoping to.

A new announcement from Spotify caught my eye yesterday. Spotify is going to allow artists to reserve concert tickets for their top listeners. Now listen, we all know that getting tickets can be stressful. Online ticket queues, you, you wait, you wait, you wait. And then they're pricey. All the seats you want are already bought up by the time it's your turn to put purchase. Spotify teaming up with artists for a new reserved system that will set aside tickets for premium subscribers.

[A]

Alex is a. Is an Iheart man. He's not a Spotify guy. Right. Alex is a big Iheart guy.

[F]

I like ads.

[A]

He doesn't know what you're talking about. What is this Spotify you talk of?

[B]

Yeah, fair. I'm just saying it's gonna make it harder for the common people like you and me to get.

[A]

So that's another avenue that I have to jump through. Right.

[B]

Because I'm not listening to Spotify.

[A]

But Spotify's not giving away the tickets. You still have to buy them.

[B]

Buy them. You're just getting an extra chance to buy them if you're a top listener.

[A]

This is like when you pay for VIP and you get. You get like a separate place to go buy T shirts.

[B]

Yes.

[F]

Not just kind of T shirts. Yeah, Same price. But you can buy them over here.

[A]

Same T shirts, but there's just a separate area to buy T shirts that you own. Quite a line. And we'll get you, you know, a separate dirty bathroom to go into.

[B]

No, it's probably cleaner than half the people on. Okay, Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

All right, sports.

[F]

The Astros are back in action this afternoon. They're going to open up a weekend series with the Cubs on the road. Spencer Arrogetti will be on the mound for the Strohs, going up against Chicago's Jameson Talion. First pitch is at 120, and you can listen to it on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Cavaliers 109 to 93 to take a 20 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. And in the Stanley cup playoffs, the Canadiens blew out the Hurricane 6 to 2 to take game one of the Eastern Conference finals. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

I'm sorry. This bit went way too long. There was one ship left.

[B]

You got hungry.

[A]

Yeah, there was.

[B]

You're so dumb.

[A]

There was one chip left. It's been sitting there the whole time that you guys have been talking. I'm like, all right, wrap it up already. All right. I'm done with the chips. Okay, that's it, guys. I got Machine Gun Kelly tickets for you coming up at around, what, 8, 20. I've got beer for you coming up in about 60 seconds. Kind of like the last hour that I'm scheduling is this one coming up.

[A]

Are you cooking this?

[D]

Yeah, I'm gonna whip up. I'm gonna whip up some burgers, man.

[A]

Yeah. You knew I was gonna ask you about food. The show Hungry. We obsess about food.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, we're hungry over here.

[A]

We just want to make sure that we're doing the right thing here. So you got some burgers going on over there? Are you a side dish guy?

[D]

Yeah, of course. I get some. Some. Some potatoes, little fries with the burgers.

[A]

Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[B]

Perfect.

[A]

All right. That sounds like a pretty good little weekend, dude. Enjoy yourself. Eric, I got the. I got a case of beer for you.

[F]

All right.

[D]

You know. You know, I always try to call every Friday to get through, and I never get through. This is my first time.

[A]

Yeah, you're awesome, dude. Thank you. Thank you, Eric.

[D]

Thank you. You guys have a good weekend.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

You too. How can I not, living in the greatest country in the world, you know? Excited about Memorial Day? We are off on Monday. Always observed on the last Monday of May, it's early, but this is the last Monday. The earliest it can be is May 25th. When you look at the numbers and you crunch the numbers on the calendar.

[B]

Thanks for doing that.

[A]

So it's the earliest that it can be May 25th. It always falls between the 25th and May 31st. As a matter of fact, next year, it'll be May 31st. It'll feel like, oh, the last weekend of the. The month. It's weird because there's another weekend. Yeah. Coming up. Used to be called Decoration Day, going back to the 1800s. Then in 1970, that's when it officially became Memorial Day, I think in 1971, actually. Now there's the thing about Memorial Day and, you know, you got me jumping around and I'm asking about burgers and potato salad and everything else. There's no shame. This is just. This is only my feelings. I'll take emails on it. People will be mad. There's no shame in being excited about having the day off. There's no shame about dreaming of potato salad and in coleslaw and all the sides and getting on the grill and chilling and spending time with your family and drinking some beers and being out of the pool and outside. Well, we're gonna be dealing with all this rain. Of course, we know why we have this long weekend. Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor all those that made the ultimate sacrifice. As a matter of fact, I don't know if you guys know this. There is an exact moment of remembrance on Memorial day.

[B]

It's at 3:00pm Oh, I didn't know that.

[A]

I didn't know that either.

[B]

Where, where does, does something take place?

[A]

It's 3pm local time. You're supposed to pause and remember the brave men and women that died in service of our nation. So I, I always say go out and if there's a mattress sale, go get it. Drink your beers, drink the, the potato chip with beer on them. Whatever we were eating earlier, have fun, have, enjoy the day off. But at some point, just take a second to kind of realize why we have the day off. Okay, it's not, it's not, I get it. But it doesn't, I don't think it has to be in your, you know, doesn't have to make up your whole weekend. And there's not a Friday before Memorial Day in my entire existence on this show that I haven't told you guys. If you're looking for one singular movie, if you would, if, and you got rain this weekend. If you have never seen the movie. And I love people that have taken my advice on this. There's a movie starring Kevin Bacon. It's called Taking Chance. It is the, it's one of the greatest movies of all time. It's based on a true story story. It was a 19 year old Marine, Lance Corporal Chance Phelps. He lost his life. And there was, I want to make sure I get these right. United States Marine Lt. Col. Michael Stromble. He volunteered to escort the remains back to his family.

[B]

Oh yes.

[A]

And it's, the movie's called Taking Chance. It's based on his first name. The, the Marine that died. His name is Chance.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Taking Chance number number one, Kevin Bacon is just phenomenal in this movie. I had no idea that this went on in transporting a soldier. They're on commercial aircrafts and in, in the, in this like with the luggage and stuff. I, I, I, I never seen anything like this. You will learn so much watching this movie. The respect that is given to somebody that made the ultimate sacrifice this movie. I, I, I'm sure, sure they took some liberties to make it an entertaining movie, but it just looks, it's so amazing. You will learn so much.

[B]

Yeah. Am I crying?

[A]

You will absolutely cry during the movie just because, out of, out of the respect.

[B]

Yeah, no, I get it.

[A]

Kevin Bacon, I'm telling you should have got an Academy Award for this movie. And I think it was made for HBO back in the day.

[C]

Really?

[A]

Yes. It's so good you want to learn a little something and I can't say enough about it. I don't know if I'll have time, but I'm trying to carve out time to make sure that I watch this movie this weekend. It's called Taking Chance. Kevin Bacon. You wanna. You wanna realize why we have Memorial Day? You watch this movie and you will think about this every Memorial Day moving forward for the rest of your life. I mean that. I mean that. It's that good. All right, quick break. When me come back, got a rec check for you. We'll find out what's trending. Machine Gun Kelly in town tomorrow night. We've got tickets. Stay there.

I can't imagine somebody watching this movie and not thinking that it's amazing. The movie is taking chance and it's a. It's probably the best Memorial Day watch. And I'm putting that over Band of Brothers, which is my favorite thing in the world, really. I really think Memorial Day I. You can't do any better than watching the movie. Take Taking Chance. I. I stand by that every single year. Band of Brothers might be the greatest thing ever made. That's a lot of time watching that. All right, what you got? What's trending?

You're the boss.

[A]

I don't know how these guys got my number. I am getting more text messages and. And Ms. Christine is helping me out at the house with. With London in the morning. And. And her and I were talking about it early this morning, and she said that she's also. I. I said, is it the worst you've ever had it? Like. I. I didn't give out my number. Chip Roy. Like, how are you. How did you get my number?

[B]

Okay, I thought you were talking about Ditch Day.

[A]

No, I. Who gave Chip Roy my number? Okay, Now. I don't know perverts out of bathrooms. I don't know what. These guys are running the platform. I'd like to go out and vote. I do vote. I. I have voting fatigue right now. I have. I've already voted a couple of times.

[B]

That's actually a headline and I just.

[A]

I.

[B]

It really is.

[F]

It's.

[A]

It's too much. I don't. There's just a constant cycle of people running and, you know, commercials and stuff, like, whatever. When you're in my phone every day. And it's not Chip Roy. It's everybody. It's Maga Middleton. It's everybody.

[F]

Not my guy. Not my guy.

[B]

It's your uncle.

[A]

Right?

[F]

Not my guy. Do not condone him.

[A]

All right? It's the other guy that's running seven times in the last.

[B]

Oh, the running one.

[A]

Yeah. He's literally running in his commercial.

[B]

Menifee. He does run in his commercial.

[A]

Okay. I don't know. Jasmine Crockett. How did you get my number? I cannot believe. But for. For the main elections, this is like a midterm thing or this is some kind of.

[F]

I don't know.

[A]

I don't know what it is either.

[F]

TV used to have vote or die. I'd rather die. I'd rather die.

[B]

I picked up right now primary runoff election.

[A]

Okay. Yes, yes. So I did.

[B]

The actual voting day is not even till next week.

[A]

I went to the vote where it was supposed to be like to get the winners. This is a follow up because things were too close.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Okay. So I under. I can fight. I kind of have a bit of an understanding. I try to be a good person. Person.

[B]

Yes. It just seems like a lot.

[A]

It is so much. It is so much. It's important to get out and vote. I don't. I get mad at the person when they're in my phone. I do get mad. I do get pissed. This I wanted to share with something about because I know I have voting fatigue. There's a small town in Alabama, it's Falkville. You know Falkville, Right?

[B]

Right.

[A]

No, you don't. They just voted on the ballot to end the town's historic 140 year ban on alcohol. It was one of those dry counties that still exists.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Remember when Dinah first bought her pad, Her. Her house in the Heights? It was a dry. Was the Heights dry?

[B]

Yes. I also bought a house in dry Heights.

[A]

But there had to be bars.

[B]

There were bars, but you had to become a member of them.

[A]

Wait a minute. Like, okay, let's just say on white. Oh, Christian's tailgate.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You would go in, you'd have to sign something saying you remember, then you were officially a member. And then they could. You could drink.

[A]

That's so stupid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That is so not that long ago. Like, the workarounds that they make you do is so dumb. So this town in Alabama, they voted. It's been 140 years, they've had a ban on alcohol. And. And they won by one single vote. This is why they say voting matters.

[B]

Voting does matter.

[A]

The final vote, the tally was not. A lot of people showed up to vote.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

There's about 800 registered voters in Falkville. 231 voted. The final tally was 116 to 115 in favor of allowing alcohol sales so

[B]

they don't have to have a runoff. Even if it was.

[A]

Yeah, no, no, it was just majority for this one. I know what you're asking.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

You gotta win.

[B]

We're voting again.

[A]

Yeah. So one local gas station. I saw an interview, they're like, yeah, they're thrilled about the results. You know what? Because why they're definitely going to be sellers. They said okay, but they want to do it in a way that's respectful

[B]

to the other half of the people that don't want it.

[A]

Yeah, like the 115 people that didn't want it.

[B]

Right.

[A]

You got to be respectful for sure. So they, they say they're going to build a huge standalone liquor store right next to their gas station. They've got the land over there. And then, like, that's a lot of work to be respectful. Then I'm thinking you might as well just build it without windows because you don't want people walking by to see how happy those people are inside that liquor store. You better just make a. A cinder block box with no windows because people that voted against, they're going to walk by and see the happiest people they've ever seen in their lives buying bottles of alcohol for the first time in 140 years. What are you doing Memorial Day weekend? I'm naked. The Rod Brian show on 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz sublime in Ensenada. Rob Ryan show on this free beer Friday.

[B]

Literally, I was like, when did we

[A]

say that you can't guess Sloppy Toppy in record time? And then ask us what it means.

[B]

I have no reason to lie about that.

[A]

I don't think those two worlds.

[F]

Yeah. Yellows equals a red. Two yellows immediate ejection.

[A]

Okay, so remember. Hi. How in the World Series if somebody steals a base, doesn't Taco Bell to play a game?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay. Any player on the U.S. soccer team receives a red card. During the World cup domino's is gonna randomly select more than 60, 000 winners to receive a free medium two topping pizza. Why not one?

[F]

They say base stealing is an incentive. Like that's a good thing. We don't want anybody getting a red card for pizza.

[A]

But does it. If you get a red card, does it get your team fired up? Like in hockey when your guy fights

[F]

down of the match.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[F]

So you have to play with 10 men.

[A]

So it's weird that domino's is you.

[F]

You want nothing.

[A]

They're rewarding this behavior.

[F]

Terrible.

[A]

They say they're gonna end up giving out over $1 million worth of pizzas. You gotta be in the system, I guess. I don't know how they pick these people, but you got to be in some sort of domino system to get in on that. So World cup will be here soon enough. So lots of stuff on the food blog page today.

Got me again.

[B]

AAA expects those numbers to break last year's record. The national average for a gallon of regular gas last year was 3.17 this weekend.

[A]

Where we at now?

[B]

456. So 317 to 456.

[A]

Yeah, but is it. Is it. Is it keeping one person off the road or from going or enjoying. Enjoying life?

[B]

No. Maybe coming back a little bit.

[A]

The gas prices are outrageous.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

The cost of everything. I just went to the grocery store.

[B]

Holy crap.

[A]

I would be embarrassed to show you my receipt. How much I spent. Okay. I would be embarrassed. But we're still doing the things. People find a way. Yeah, people find a way. How?

[B]

Maybe buy generic ice cream.

[A]

How could it be record gas price prices and record people traveling at the same time?

[B]

That's where we are.

[A]

We find a way.

[B]

Can we talk about Britney Spears?

[A]

Yeah, if you want.

[B]

I do.

[A]

So she got arrested a while back, but March. What's new about this?

[B]

TMZ got the police footage, the video you can hear. She got pulled over DUI arrest back in March, y'. All. First, she's having a meltdown when they ask her to get out of her car. Rod, do you have the audio? Is it easy to.

[A]

To play where she offers the arresting officer lasagna?

[B]

Yeah, that's the one.

[A]

That's a.

[B]

That's it.

[A]

Perfectly normal thing to do, right? All right, here we go.

[B]

You got to listen this Britney Spears,

[A]

while we're talking, can you turn the vehicle off?

[B]

No. Can I go follow you up there so I'm not on the street with all these people?

[A]

What if we have you get out

[B]

of my baby's right down there in a hotel here?

[A]

How about this? What if we have you get out

[D]

of the car, we'll put you in

[A]

one of our cars, and we'll drive

[D]

around the corner so we're somewhere that there's a bunch of people driving by.

[A]

Oh, I don't want to get in there for.

[B]

You can come to my house. I'll make your food and lasagna or whatever you want. I have a pool. My babies are coming to my house tonight.

[A]

Now, there's a piece of me that also hears somebody that's very out of it, very scared, terrified, and. And shouldn't be be Out. I'm sorry. Shouldn't be out and about. Certainly not in that case. You know, she was drinking and driving, right? Or pilling and driving.

[B]

Pilling and driving. We're not sure. The police officer said the lasagna was great, though.

[A]

He didn't take her up on the lasagna.

[B]

They did not. They declined.

[A]

Said really nice pool, though. He didn't go to the pool either.

[B]

Britney avoided a DUI conviction. She pled guilty to reckless driving involving alcohol. She got 12 months of probation, and she cannot possess drugs without a valid prescription. And last but not least, your favorite jelly roll is trending today, Rod. I'm sorry. It's for hockey. Jelly Roll song Rise up was just announced as the new theme song for the Stanley cup playoffs.

[A]

You said he wrote this for the NHL.

[B]

That's what it kind of sounds like.

[D]

Already know,

[F]

you know?

[A]

Be cool.

[B]

Don't. Okay? Dude, just say it.

[A]

The Sabers were still in it. Oh, my God, he's so cool.

[B]

Sorry.

[A]

No, this is good. I like it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

On the music blog page, if you want to see, like, it's just. It's a typical. Here's all the big hits and scores and it's hockey highlights hype video intertwined

[B]

with Jelly Roll Roll, the official song of the 2026.

[F]

He always wanted to write a song for hockey. He always said, that guy just like he was. Ride a scooter and jump out of plane and stuff.

[A]

Keep dreaming. Keep dreaming your dreams.

[F]

You knew it.

[A]

One day you'll write a hockey song. Sharks ain't always in the water. Those are Houston's headlines.

[F]

Snakes ain't always in the grass.

[A]

My goal, my goal is to get on some skates.

[F]

Thanks, dude.

[A]

What's up? What's up?

[F]

Spencer Arrogetti will be in the mound for the Strobes going up against Chicago's Jamison Talion. First pitch is at 120. You can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. Over in the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Cavaliers 109 to 93 to take a 20 lead in that series. And in the Stanley cup playoffs, the Canadiens blew out the Hurricane 6 to 2 to take. To take a game. To take game one of the Eastern Conference finals. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

[A]

I think so. Maybe 9:40. I don't care. It's loose as a goose. The whole party is loose as a goose. It's day drinking. One week from today. We're going to do Ditch Day and we're trying to find the name of the official shot.

[B]

It's really up in the air. It keeps fluctuating.

[A]

It does.

[B]

It really does.

[A]

What's number one currently?

[B]

Free bird.

[A]

A free bird. That makes sense. On the free phone, appropriately enough, is Sarge. Hey, good morning.

[D]

Good morning. How are you?

[A]

I'm doing great. Is it Sarge? Am I getting that right?

[D]

Yeah, you. You are. It's my nickname, Sarge.

[A]

How did you get the nickname Sarge?

[D]

Retired army, did 21 years and some change and people just started calling, playing rugby and going to work.

[B]

You earned that nickname.

[A]

Yeah, he did, for sure.

[B]

Yes. Thank you.

[A]

And he's a rugby or guy.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Hey, listen, I. I made some bold comments before. I know, I know you're calling in, but I made some bold comments before and I said, listen, I. I don't think there's any shame in going out and getting, you know, if there's a sale on TVs this weekend, get after it. If there's a mattress sale, it's Memorial Day weekend. Go get it. Enjoy your beers, get the potato salad, eat all the hot dogs. But let's remember why. But let's also remember why we have this weekend, Memorial Day weekend, to honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice. But I don't think you should feel shame about going and getting in on a sale, you know, on something this weekend. Sarge, I know you're involved with Camp Hope. I'm glad you got through. Love the organization. Love what you guys do over there. My man Bill Tater told me about a rugby tournament that you guys have coming up. Tell me about it.

[D]

It's not just a rugby tournament. We set it up like a festival. It started off as a rugby tournament, and then we realized we could help other people with ptsd and that was my main focus of saving lives. So we just started adding more stuff.

[A]

So when is it all going down?

[D]

Saturday the 30th. It's an all day event. Eight, eight to midnight. We got about nine bands coming playing rock country, 80s music.

[A]

Love it.

[B]

Wait, where is this happening?

[A]

Where do you do it? Right there at camp?

[D]

No, it's at the community field house in spring.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Real nice quartz complex indoor facility.

[A]

Do we buy tickets ahead of time or do we get tickets at the door? We pay at the door. What do you want people to do?

[D]

You show up. We try to get you to donate at the door, but it's all free. We got a bunch of kids activities. We just will send people around just to get you involved and see if you guys can help out. And be aware that suicide in the military is a big problem.

[A]

Huge problem. We're just priming the pump. This isn't this weekend. This is next weekend. Saturday.

[D]

Yes. Yes. We wanted to set it after Memorial Day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's check in again with you next week, Sarge, just to make sure that everybody knows that it's going to be happening.

[B]

You know, let's get all the info so we can post it up on our social media too.

[A]

Yeah, so we got flyers that Bill sent us, right?

[B]

Perfect.

[A]

Okay, so we. We'll get that stuff. We'll get that stuff up on socials for sure. But then let's check in again next week just to make sure everybody knows about this. I want. I want you to have the biggest turnout you ever had.

[D]

I. I appreciate, Rod.

[A]

I. I appreciate everything that you guys do out there at Camp Hope, man. It is unbelievable. It's an unbelievable thing that they do over there. So next Saturday we'll talk more about it.

[D]

I love your show.

[F]

Been listening for a Long time.

[A]

Well, thank you. I appreciate that. But now we all are expected to say nice things about our chicks.

[F]

Oh, yeah, that's true.

[A]

Did you hear Kirk? Did you hear Kirk on the air today? He was so nice. Who's beeping? Who's beeping at you?

[D]

Actually, that's, that's my wife calling in right now.

[A]

All right, go the phone go. Talk to you, honey. I'm blowing you up right now. All right, Christina is next up on open phones. Good morning.

[E]

Good morning. How are y' all today?

[A]

So awesome. Thanks for getting through. I appreciate you listening. What would you like to talk about?

[E]

First of all, I love listening to y' all every morning. Y' all crack me up. And y', all, y' all make my day just go by so much faster and better.

[A]

Thank you.

[E]

Number one. Number two, y' all were talking about gas prices going up and people going at it out of town. I don't know how they can afford that. I had to fill up on gas this morning. $50. $50 for only 12 gallons?

[B]

Yes.

[E]

And, and I don't know how people can afford to go out, out of town. We have to make plans to, to 4th of July instead of this because my daughter has to go to summer school because she missed so much with her surgery.

[A]

But, yeah, I don't understand those two things either. And I, I, I, I stand right next to you in those statements because you were telling me it's Triple A that always puts out the numbers. Record numbers expected. There's people on the roads. They're saying that. It looks like the predictions that people are doing what they said they're going to do. How are they doing it with record gas prices? I just said it, Christina. I don't have the answer. I just said that people will find a way. People will find a way to still do what they need to, to do, even in the inconvenience of everything being more expensive. Okay. Are you not going to not buy that watermelon? I'm not not having watermelon this weekend. Yeah, it was expensive. Okay? It was expensive. I bought it. I still bought it. My, my grocery receipt yesterday. Christina. I'm embarrassed of how much money I spent yesterday. There's three people in my house. Okay. Hopefully, you know, some people coming by and stuff like that. I can't believe how much money I spent yesterday. Still found a way to do it. I don't want to go.

[E]

Let me tell you something. I, I have four people in my house, plus a dog, plus a cat, and we can't Even afford groceries because of how high gas prices are.

[A]

It's crazy.

[E]

So it's either. It's either we have gas to go to work or we have groceries. Yeah, but we can't have.

[A]

And then you're in the vicious circle. Got to go to work so that you can.

[E]

Exactly.

[A]

Can't get to work. You don't have the money for the gas. And then that. Blah, blah, blah. It never ends. Christina, we're all in this together. Record numbers. Record numbers of people traveling. How. Good morning. Rob Ryan show. Who's this? Yeah, you. Hi.

[D]

How's it going, man? Sorry about that, buddy. I couldn't tell if you were talking

[A]

I'm a winner this time. I'm heading to Dallas as we speak for a five day weekend. Dallas now, a whole lot better traffic. No feet on the pedals, no hands on the wheel. Man, these cars are awesome these days.

[A]

What kind of vehicle you're in a Tesla.

[D]

It's a Hyundai Elantra. Driver assist. I mean, bell whistles.

So right now as you're talking to me, your hands are not on the steering wheel. You're. You're in the driver's seat.

Okay. No hands, no hands on the steering wheel. No hands on the pedal. You're just sitting there talking to me and just having a conversation and the car's driving. Driving itself.

Not going to be a strange call, like even a year from now. Maybe people don't even find it strange. I find it strange. I do. I. I'm not experienced with this whole not holding on to the steering wheel thing. You love it though, huh?

The U haul lesbian. Like, it is because, like, relationships between two women gets really intense and really, like, close really quickly because you have so much share, shared life experiences, being a woman, and I think that that really, like, contributes to that now, you know.

[A]

Rod, did she move into your place? You move into her place?

[E]

Well, I was married when I met her, so I moved into her place. I got a divorce, and now we're living at my place. It wasn't. It was not a good. It Was not a good marriage. It was not a good marriage, obviously.

[A]

I mean, it sounds like that U Haul's got a couple of flat tires back and forth. What the heck?

[E]

It's got some miles on it.

[D]

That's for sure.

[E]

It's got some miles on her.
