[Alex]

If people knew what I know, lives could be saved.

[Rod Ryan]

Like how there are some things I

[Alex]

simply can't see on my route.

[Rod Ryan]

The other day a car tried to

[Alex]

sneak past me and ends up right in my blind spot. I turn slowly so accident avoided.

[Rod Ryan]

But no car should be in the blind spot for a 40,000 pound bus. It's our roads, it's our safety. Visit www.sharetherodesafely.gov. Here we go. Here we come. First day of school. Let's go, let's go. Good morning, this is Ed McMahon. And now, ladies and gentleme, here's Rod Ryan. Oh, come on. Wakey, wakey. Hands off snakey. Let's go kids. You gotta get up. What time's sailor waking up today?

[Mo]

6am and she's never been.

[Rod Ryan]

She's never awoke to an alarm clock

[Mo]

before in her whole life.

[Rod Ryan]

That's what's happening today.

[Mo]

We're doing a practice run today. School starts tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

Hisd today, right?

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Wow. All right. Hey guys. Good morning everybody. I hope you had a great weekend. I hope Blackbeard over here got all kinds of treasure. I can't wait. I'm telling you, as soon as I woke up I'm like, oh my God. It's Alex and metal detector day.

[Alex]

Alex and metal detector, six picks.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I'm so excited to talk to you and look at your six picks today. What are we doing on the air today? We got Matt. Now my calculations say Matt's going for win number three. Is that correct?

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, Matt going for three. Fresh out of bed. Head to head challenge. We giving away some blue October tickets. Blue Christmas Sunday, December 20th. That's the third show they're playing three nights in a row. I got a 100 gift card to the Republic grill and give that to you at 7:20. The suburb Summer Sizzler. We're still on the outside of the brackets. Texas City takes on the Woodlands at 8:20 this morning. We're gonna have a new giveaway at 9:10. The iHeartRadio Music Festival. We'll talk about that. I got pit tickets to Monster Jam all of and Mo and Houston's headlines. What you got?

[Mo]

Thank you and back to school. Welcome Houston and Galveston ISDs. And as we're preparing for the changing of routines this morning, if you think about it, maybe throw an umbrella into that.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, why do you always tell me it's raining?

[Mo]

Showers start this morning as early as 7am Mostly south of I10. They're going to continue to build inland through the afternoon and evening. So even for pickup, be prepared by 5pm it looks like the showers and storms begin to fall apart. But after the rain moves out hotter and dry for the rest of our week, Taylor Farms is recalling food items containing jalapenos over possible salmonella contamination. We know last week some of our favorite Mexican Tex Mex joints also pulled jalapenos from their restaurants. And grocery stores are also removing meat products that include jalapenos. Jalapenos. Keep that of mine.

[Alex]

I got a bunch of jalapenos on a discount this weekend. It was great.

[Mo]

I'm sure they were on sale right. During the school year, parents have admitted to spending 432 hours on meal prep.

[Rod Ryan]

I feel like you are the meal prep queen.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Even you prep for yourself. You do a really good job of this. You're always bringing in all these crazy.

[Mo]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

Sectional Tupperwares right over there. Yeah, a lot of that.

[Mo]

Sundays, that's the busy day.

[Rod Ryan]

Overnight oats.

[Mo]

But I kind of think that packing my kids lunches is like the bane of my existence. Like I hate it. I hate it so much.

[Rod Ryan]

They have to eat.

[Alex]

Yeah, they do need to eat. I know, but just teach them.

[Mo]

Wouldn't that be nice? On average, parents are spending three hours per week meal planning, three hours grocery shopping a week, two hours actually packing the lunches and four hours per week cooking. That seems like a lot. I guess they've got to eat.

[Rod Ryan]

London knows she's getting one turkey sandwich a week. I'm good for one of those.

[Mo]

She eats turkey. That's impressive.

[Rod Ryan]

One turkey sandwich. She's getting one PB and J wrap. She likes that.

[Mo]

Are they allowed to have peanut butter at their school? Yeah, we're not.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

That's really a big hurdle this year.

[Rod Ryan]

Almond butter. Could you have?

[Mo]

I bought like $15 almond butter.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

She was like, not into it. I was like, awesome. So I guess I'm eating that this week.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. So those are two things that she's getting every week. So I got two days. It's like having Taco Tuesday locked in for dinner. It's like, okay, there's one day I don't got to think about it.

[Mo]

Big hurdles. Can't wait. This lady is making more money on OnlyFans that she. Then she did acting in Harry Pot Potter. Oh, yeah, do the math there. Her name is Jesse Cave. She played Lavender Brown in the later Potter flicks.

[Alex]

Yeah, she's like a minor character.

[Mo]

Ron Weasley's uber infatuated girlfriend. And on her only fans, there's no nudity. Alex. She makes her money by brushing and playing with her hair.

[Alex]

Not magic. Nope. That's a huge miss. Like, learn a card trick, lady. Do some sort of sleight of hand. You were wearing a magic movie.

[Mo]

I thought I'd make like 5,000 bucks, be on it for a few months. It would buy me some time to figure out what I'm doing next for work. She said, it's been over a year and a half and it has genuinely saved my family's life.

[Rod Ryan]

All she does is brush her hair.

[Alex]

I tried to make an only fans for just gambling pics. Didn't work out.

[Mo]

Should I be brushing my hair?

[Alex]

You should. You would make money or like you would absolutely make money.

[Rod Ryan]

You know, what is the rule of something if, if, if you can think of it, somebody's into it. Yeah, like there's people that just want to see you brush your hair.

[Mo]

I don't brush my hair, so this, that would not be for me.

[Alex]

But I think about like brushing my hair for the first time in however long.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I gotta.

[Alex]

You could charge premium for that.

[Mo]

It appears things went well with the 2026 Oasis reunion tour.

[Alex]

No way.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, it went really well. I mean financially, Financially they didn't. They didn't fight. They got richer.

[Alex]

If they didn't break up, it was

[Rod Ryan]

going to be perfect. Yes.

[Mo]

The brothers are willing to keep going according to the sun, which take it as it is. Sources say the band has some rather high profile gigs already lined up for next year, mostly overseas. I see 12 nights at one venue in Manchester. A stadium.

[Alex]

Yeah, that's their Manchester city place.

[Mo]

Okay, 12 nights there and then it's followed by six nights at Nebworth in September. Looks like it. So if this is real, I think

[Rod Ryan]

they just want to go out and break all the stadium records. That's the next. That's their next accomplishment.

[Alex]

Really? Really, really, really, really, really.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah. Richer.

[Mo]

No. Shame. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Take it, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros lost the Padres last night 7 to 2. They dropped 2 Diego over the weekend. Tonight they're going to open up a three game series with the Giants on the road. Hayden Wisneski is going to be on the mound for the Stroz going up against San Francisco's Blade Tidwell. I'm a little worried for the Strozz Blades going on the mound for the Giants. I don't know. That's intimidating. First pitches at 8:45. You can listen to the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.

[Rod Ryan]

Did we get new cameras or something?

[Mo]

They move the angles.

[Rod Ryan]

The angles are moved around.

[Alex]

Not mine. Don't worry. It's right in my face. Worse than ever.

[Mo]

Why didn't they fix your eyes?

[Alex]

I don't matter.

[Rod Ryan]

Those baby blues. We want a close up of those eyes.

[Alex]

It's the weirdest, worst angle ever. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

All right.

[Alex]

I'll just do the rest of it with a selfie camera.

[Rod Ryan]

We have new. We have a couple of new camera angles in here. I guess not everybody got a new camera angle.

[Alex]

I'm not upset about it.

[Rod Ryan]

That would be. But we, you and I can see each other better.

[Alex]

Sort of. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

That's sweet. All right, so that those new camera angles, that's on Facebook and that's on YouTube. We got a lot of ground to cover today on the show. Welcome back, kiddos. First phone call could be yours.

[Rod Ryan]

All the teachers even like the school districts that aren't open, they're still going in and all of that stuff. So teachers are getting back and jumping back into our routine. I'll take you back. Even though you left us all summer long. Okay, I'll still take you back. I'll have you back in the fold. But man, these teachers that drop us and like just don't even check in with us all summer. What?

[Alex]

Head to head.

[Rod Ryan]

Two day champion. Join me on Monday, when I wake it, make it win number three. Remember, nobody could win two in a row. That was what was. That's kind of the storyline from last week. But his victory speech after winning one and then him being the first guy in forever to win two, the energy in the room completely changed. So he's coming in. He's coming in with all the confidence in the world. 713-212-5945. If you think you can beat Matt,

[Alex]

you make it out of bed. We'll take it from there. The Rod Ryan show, weekday morning, 6

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, Matt, like the what's up, brother Rod? I like the energy, dude. I like you breaking that streak. It was a weird string of one pump chumps. And you said, I'm here to change that. I'm the other guy now. You gotta make it three, though. Don't just come in here and be happy with two. We're going over five, Robin.

How's everybody doing? Listen to him just sliding in here. Just like, oh, I'm just gonna slither right in. So clearly you're not in the hall of Fame yet. That's why you're playing. But little quick, quick resume. Sean Connery, three time hall of Famer, played Corey the Go Hunter in the final game two years ago. Yeah, he's really, really good. He came that close. That close. Bridesmaid.

[Mo]

Impressive.

[Rod Ryan]

[Mo]

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, question number two. What does the letter B stand for? Okay, 007, show me what you got. Basketball. It certainly starts with a B.

[Mo]

It does.

[Rod Ryan]

It. It. But that it's not.

[Mo]

If I was talking about the wnba, maybe.

Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody knows homeroom's a little busy and hectic and it's good. It's the way we want it. I haven't had a second to make it over to LinkedIn guests yet. No Blackbeard over here.

[Mo]

Yeah, I'm dying to see his pictures.

[Alex]

There you go.

[Rod Ryan]

Our metal detector friend, did he find anything?

[Mo]

It's like my prize. When I finish all my homework, I'll get there.

[Rod Ryan]

Last week we were talking about metal detecting, and Alex on the fly went and got one delivered. Immediately he's like, I'm going to the beach this weekend. I'm going to do some metal detecting.

[Mo]

So sure enough.

[Rod Ryan]

And he took six pics away from Mo. You guys switched.

[Mo]

Fine.

[Rod Ryan]

So Alex's six picks are up. I haven't seen them yet. I can't wait.

[Mo]

Good.

[Rod Ryan]

I can't now. You're here. So that means you did didn't find like a ton of gold. You're here. I would have had to come talk

[Alex]

about it at least one show first.

[Mo]

Oh, that's nice.

[Rod Ryan]

So you might be saying, hey, I found black resignation. This could be this last show ever. Okay, we'll see. I can't wait to get into these picks. The fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. Here's your current champion, this guy right here. Good morning, everybody. This is Matt and I'm for real. I am your fresh out of bed, head to head three day champion. Taking out 007, Sean Connory. Not so fun fact. I've lost to that dude three times in the past. Join me on Tuesday when I wake at win number four. More and more confidence.

[Mo]

Confidence is exuding each game. I love it.

[Rod Ryan]

Each game just becoming more and more like, okay, I, I, maybe I figured this thing out, this dumb game. Maybe I got this. We haven't had anybody in the hall of fame in a while. Don't even look at me.

[Alex]

Now that I can see you back, racket's looking great.

[Rod Ryan]

We need more people in the. We need five champions.

[Mo]

Fine. All right.

[Rod Ryan]

I brought up some new fun facts for you guys. 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. All right, here we go.

[Alex]

Hey, how.

[Rod Ryan]

Brother Rod. There you are. How are you? Good. Just. I just looked at Alex's six pics.

[Alex]

What are your thoughts?

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not gonna say. You saw him already. I couldn't wait. You couldn't wait for the family to look at them together? All right, all right. Here's some new fun facts for you guys. Only one satellite has ever been destroyed by a meteor. There's a lot of stuff flying around out there. Okay. It was a European space agency's Olympus and it happened in 1993. Other than that, there's America, undefeated in satellites. Yes, there's.

[Mo]

There's what I heard.

[Rod Ryan]

I just assume there's collisions happening all the time up there and there's not an American one. Wrap your head around this. A glass ball will bounce higher than a rubber ball of the same size, provided that it doesn't break. Does that be solid? Yeah. And it's because the rubber ball loses energy when it compresses before returning to its original shape. Glass is rigid, so it retains the energy on impact. But technically a glass ball, if it doesn't break, will bounce higher than a rubber ball.

[Alex]

That's a really good one.

[Rod Ryan]

It's science.

[Mo]

Okay, but doesn't it break?

[Rod Ryan]

Would you guys wake up if it doesn't break?

[Mo]

Mo.

[Alex]

That's what he said. Doesn't it break if it's full.

[Rod Ryan]

Listen.

[Alex]

All glass, dude. Geez.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm gonna need you to wake up. This is old.

[Alex]

They think that one's.

[Rod Ryan]

But Hal's here. He'll get it. So the projectile vomit in the movie. No, wait a minute. Hear me out, all right? Hear me out. The projectile vomit in the movie the Exorcist. Okay, okay, Now, I. Now I got you in, right? I got you the Exorcist. One of the most famous scary movies of all time. One of the single most famous scenes of a scary movie when she becomes possessed and she projectile vomits. In the movie, it was soup from a famous California restaurant called pea Soup Anderson's mixed with oatmeal. I would have never guessed the oatmeal part. Yeah, they actually tried Campbell's and it didn't work. That restaurant closed in 2024. It was pea soup. I'm sorry. For those of you that are eating oatmeal this morning and know what I'm talking about, that's a bad combo. 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. I'll send you a clip.

[Alex]

Mo.

[Mo]

My oatmeal tastes just fine.

[Rod Ryan]

But you were young, though. I was, Yeah. I shouldn't have gone. Jeez. All right. How'd you do on Wall Street? Friday. Friday, not a bad day on Wall Street. The dow was up 150,51 points.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Just so you know, been trying to get her up early to get prepared for this. And I'm just like, how you feeling? I'm exhausted. Great.

[Mo]

Hard being 9ish.

[Rod Ryan]

9 8. Don't rush it.

[Mo]

Rough. It's real rough. Welcome back to school Houston and Galveston ISDs. And as we're preparing for the changing of routines this morning, if you think about it, made me throw an umbrella into your routine. Because showers start this morning as early as 7am that's mostly south of I10. They will continue to build inland through the afternoon and evening. Have you looked out the window?

[Rod Ryan]

No. What's going on out there?

[Mo]

I have no idea. By 5pm it looks like showers and storms. The intensity of them kind of fall apart hotter and dry for the rest of the week. Rod, this is your reminder. The Powerwall jackpot is now approaching $8 billion.

[Rod Ryan]

I bought a ticket last week.

[Mo]

Okay, well, today you need to buy one. No grand prize winner Saturday night. So tonight. Tonight.

[Rod Ryan]

Such a waste.

[Mo]

The jackpot stands at 905 million. Not gonna win the eighth largest Powerball ever.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Someone in Dallas won 2 million. But they're still going. We're still going for the big.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, let me know when it becomes the biggest one ever. I'll go buy a ticket.

[Alex]

9 million is not enough.

[Rod Ryan]

No. 900 million.

[Mo]

Not worth it this time. Waste my time with better, better odds for us. Alice Chump Ch a superhero mom is in the headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, I. In the morning I send Mo like a ton of stuff and then she kind of sifts through it all. I usually have a pretty good idea of like, which one she's going to pick to highlight. I'm. I'm glad you picked this one. Yeah, I got the video and everything on the blog page.

[Mo]

Thank you. She got a unique tattoo to help out her kiddo. She could not communicate with her 11 year old non verbal autistic son because his communication device lost power at a restaurant. So her son drew a keyboard from memory and used his fingers to type out his order at the restaurant. Well, after that the mom was like, never again. She got the keyboard tattooed on her forearm.

[Rod Ryan]

So now you see the kid going and he's talking to her and she's. She's got her eyes trained now where she's following along. She's following along and he's typing with one finger on her arm and he's communicating with his mom. Holy cow. It's so great.

[Mo]

I can't.

[Rod Ryan]

It is so awesome.

[Mo]

She also added the happy and sad faces and an I heart you button on her tattoo. So you can just come over and.

[Rod Ryan]

It's really good.

[Mo]

It is really sweet.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a great story. It's cool little. That's a quick little video, but, man, it hit me this morning.

[Mo]

Happy birthday. Kylie Jenner, sister's 29 years old today, and she celebrated over the weekend with her sisters and her friends. The theme of her party was kitty Kylie.

[Alex]

So, Kylie.

[Mo]

But did you see the cake? There were three cakes.

[Rod Ryan]

Was it.

[Alex]

Were they cats?

[Mo]

I saw three cakes. One had kitty cats.

[Alex]

No, of course bedazzled.

[Mo]

But the one I'm talking about looks like. Modeled after her torso and her hips.

[Rod Ryan]

Can you imagine, like, getting a cake made of your body, your own body. Like, you're so into yourself.

[Alex]

I would like that.

[Rod Ryan]

You.

[Mo]

I don't know. Maybe your friends did it.

[Rod Ryan]

Your head is so far up your backside.

[Alex]

I want to cake.

[Rod Ryan]

You have the cake. Is your torso with a pink bikini.

[Mo]

Pink bikini.

[Rod Ryan]

How much do you love yourself?

[Mo]

The candle sticking out of the boobies. It also had the word meow written all over the bikini bottom, little belly button ring.

[Rod Ryan]

These are the things that make the Kardashians hateable. I don't think everything. I. I don't crap a cake of yourself.

[Alex]

It's for your birthday.

[Rod Ryan]

That's fine. I do not crap on every single thing that those ladies do. I don't. This is one of them. I will.

[Alex]

You think?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

I don't know. It didn't bother me.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't see Chalamet there either.

[Alex]

Well, what was he up to?

[Mo]

Yeah, he wasn't in the picture.

[Alex]

He's probably doing some movies. He doesn't. He's a dedicated guy.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, he wants the milk. He doesn't want to be a part of that circus.

[Mo]

Maybe he was taking the pictures.

[Alex]

Probably. He seems like a good guy.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think Chalamet simps.

[Alex]

He probably does for Kylie. Maybe.

[Mo]

He probably does anything for her. Foo Fighters released a surprise ep. Six songs live from those little shows they played in April, May. The small ones remember that. We were like, what is going on? They recorded an album there.

[Rod Ryan]

It's the hardest working band.

[Alex]

You see, Todd Voss was right on the Rod Ryan Rock Fest in Chicago.

[Rod Ryan]

He sent me an email this morning. He said no one asked for it. Here's me with Dave Grohl right behind me. Soldier Field, Chicago, Saturday night, wearing a Rod Ryan show shirt.

[Mo]

No way.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, he is so insanely close.

[Alex]

Yeah, it was a really cool picture.

[Rod Ryan]

Soldier Field. Okay. What is there 60, 000 people there and he's there's only two people separating him and Dave Grohl. I'll send this to you. You can get up on the stories.

[Mo]

Yes, please.

[Rod Ryan]

That's why we didn't hear from Todd this morning. He's probably two times sleeping at home. Yeah, he was just out there with us last week.

[Mo]

I can't wait to check it out. Right after I check out Alex's obviously from the weekend, but.

[Rod Ryan]

All right.

[Alex]

You both equally as good, right?

[Rod Ryan]

We get that up on the stories, of course.

[Mo]

And those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. All right, take it, Alex.

[Alex]

Well, the Astros lost the Padres last night 7 to 2. They went or they lost 2 of 3 against San Diego over the weekend. Tonight they're going to open up a three game series with the Giants on the road. So they're, they're doing the tour of the two probably coolest looking ballparks and. Yeah, baseball, Petco park. And then whatever the Giants win is now.

[Rod Ryan]

It sucks that we lost. That was that Sunday night baseball. That was the, it was the, it was the featured game last night. You know, you got the intro. Bob costas, all of that. I caught a little bit of it and it's packaged up really well. It's just, you know, it's not as exciting as Sunday night Football. I get that.

[Alex]

Exciting.

[Rod Ryan]

They do it. But they did a really good job with the game.

[Alex]

Yeah. So they're going to play the Giants tonight. Hayden was nesting. Zoom in the mound for the straws going up against San Francisco's Blade Tidwell. First pitches at 8, 8, 45. And you can listen to it on our sister station sports talk. 790. That is what's going on in sports.

[Mo]

Is everything okay?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. It's good. It's good. It was like a Todd boss situation where he was out and about wearing our. Wearing some gear. So we'll get into that coming up. That's not the pictures that I'm concerned with. I heard 40 chance of scattered thunderstorms. I heard they dropped out a little bit high today of around 92. I have time. I'm doing it. Don't talk. I don't want to talk about anything else right now. I know. First day of school for a lot of kids, all that stuff.

[Mo]

We're very excited.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's go,

[Alex]

Mo.

[Rod Ryan]

You had six picks this weekend. I did at one point. You had six picks this weekend.

[Mo]

When I. Friday.

[Rod Ryan]

On Friday.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And then Alex said, I'll do it.

[Alex]

Who's that kind of guy?

[Mo]

I held his beer.

[Rod Ryan]

He's like, I'm going to Galveston. But then. And you made a big move on the show on Friday?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Mid show. A mid show purpose into the show.

[Alex]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

A mid show purchase. You bought a metal detector. What were we talking about? What was the story that I brought up? A metal detector. The wedding ring. The girl was off.

[Mo]

She was swatting at a bee.

[Rod Ryan]

She was shooing a bee. And then boom. Then they get some metal detector guy in. He saves the day. They go back into the reception. She doesn't have a ring on. And then some metal detector guy came in. And I'm like, it's nerdy af, but there's something cool. There's always been something a little. I've always been slightly interested in a metal detector. Not enough to buy one. I put it in the same folder as. And my guy already did one of these. Magnet fishing. It's nerdy. It's super nerdy. Alex went to go buy a magnet and it never came.

[Alex]

Maybe from some third party. So if the could have scammed me and taking my credit card info.

[Rod Ryan]

It wasn't even teemu. It was like flemu or something. It's like, bro.

[Mo]

Yeah, Credit card. A whole new identity.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex.

[Alex]

Oh, yeah, Absolutely.

[Rod Ryan]

So you put two and two together. Hey, I'm in Galveston. I've always kind of interested in metal. Did the metal detector come?

[Alex]

The metal detector did come.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex]

Now 60 bucks. It's very affordable.

[Rod Ryan]

As soon as I saw you walk in, I'm like, okay. He didn't find anything. Like, he's here. Clearly didn't find like a pot of gold or anything like that. Galveston. A lot of pirate activity in Galveston.

[Alex]

Lots. Gene the feet love that place.

[Rod Ryan]

So much. Rich history. Pirate history. There's got to Be some stuff buried.

[Alex]

[Alex]

Got up early.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a. Didn't find anything.

[Alex]

Yeah, big, big bunch of nothing.

[Mo]

Nothing. Did you test it first?

[Alex]

I did test it. Yeah. There were nails on the deck that we had at the house. So I was like, yeah, this beeps. I showed you guys, I think Friday night. I was like, see, I tested it on a beer.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Yep. Beer works. Can confirm. Is a beer.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so. L tried it. I'll try the metal detector.

[Alex]

We were at the beach with everybody. It beeped a little bit, but if you, if you, like, smashed it on the ground, it would. It would buzz. So, like, you got excited. She got a lot of false readings.

[Rod Ryan]

Treasure.

[Alex]

It's treasure. It's treasure. Because they were like, what are you looking for? I said treasure. All the kids were really into the treasure finder.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I. I've never owned a metal detector. What do you. Does it come with, like, a scoopy

[Alex]

thing to, like, with like a little metal shovel? It was like a foldable metal shovel. That was a big hit.

[Rod Ryan]

And it is like. It's a shovel that is also a sifter. Maybe. Like, does it.

[Alex]

No, no, it's just like a little, like, spade.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, okay.

[Alex]

One of those spade ones.

[Rod Ryan]

But we also had, like a colander.

[Alex]

We had some Rattlesnake sightings. We had to kill a couple snakes.

[Mo]

Wait, what? What?

[Alex]

I peed on rattlesnake one time as an alpha. Just, like, showed him who's boss on the beach, but from the beach. Like, they. There's the dunes you had to walk to, and there's mice and stuff, and apparently they live there. But we. We had to cut off ahead of one oh my Friday night. So. Okay. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Who's Jeans?

[Alex]

Jeans. We call Ava Jeans. Her middle name is Jean, and we've just evolved it to Jeans.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex]

Just call her Jeans.

[Rod Ryan]

So funny.

[Alex]

That's her hanging out. She slept for the majority of the time we were at the beach, but there she is.

[Rod Ryan]

So this metal detector got a lot. I mean, you used it.

[Alex]

I kept trying. I was. I told you guys I was gonna try and find somebody. I did. There were things that came up that I dug up.

[Rod Ryan]

You didn't even come here with a nail. We found what we.

[Alex]

What looked like a piece of a nail. So the three things that I found, I found.

[Rod Ryan]

Look.

[Alex]

What? When you screw, like a screw in the little, like, circle that goes around it, I found one of those things, like a rivet or whatever it is. Yeah. Maybe a nut. Basically, one of those. But it was like an old rusted one. I found a of piece. Piece of rebar, and then what looked like the just straight part of a nail. Those were the three findings that you had.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

What'd you pay for this thing?

[Alex]

60 bucks.

[Mo]

We got a chance.

[Alex]

I got $60 worth of entertainment out of it.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, okay. Okay.

[Alex]

And I didn't throw it away like I thought it was going to. So if you guys want to go to the beach and use it anytime you want now we got, like, a community metal detector.

[Mo]

You can yeet it somewhere.

[Rod Ryan]

But.

[Alex]

Yeah, my friend Brandon. Well, we went out Saturday night with the kids. The kids were really excited to find treasure. And we ended up just watching a bunch of crabs running around because the metal detector didn't really come up with anything. But it was like when you hear the beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And we got to. We had to dig with the shovel. Like, it was electric. Those, like. Yeah, those 30 seconds of, oh, here it is.

[Rod Ryan]

Anticipation.

[Alex]

Here it is. And then somebody's, okay, no, try here, try here, try here. And then you finally get it. You're, ah, it's just a screw.

[Rod Ryan]

Every time that thing beeps. Daddy's not going to work on Monday.

[Alex]

Having, like, five little kids around.

[Rod Ryan]

You like, oh, there it is. It's a tragic.

[Alex]

The trash. Like, oh, yeah. It is tragic. No, it's not.

[Mo]

Should have buried something for the kids.

[Alex]

We should have.

[Rod Ryan]

We didn't think that. I thought I was gonna find real treasure. Should have just gotten some fake. I didn't have a backup plan.

[Alex]

Then I went back out yesterday morning, didn't find anything again. So it was big. Nothing.

[Rod Ryan]

I was, I was looking around the beach.

[Alex]

I was like, if I could see a wedding going on, then I'll be, I'll be that guy. The last week. No. Well, so it was a whole lot of nothing. But it was kind of.

[Rod Ryan]

It didn't feel nerdy walking around with

[Alex]

a, with a metal detector. It felt cool. And they have headphones, but the losers wear the headphones. It's still really loud and it's way cooler when you're with the group and you just go like, you get the people going. This is it.

[Rod Ryan]

Retirement. All right, Alex is six picks a little bit of a, little bit of a letdown.

[Alex]

I mean, they're all got to be winners.

[Mo]

You know, there's still time.

[Rod Ryan]

We want all.

[Alex]

Columbus didn't find America initially.

[Rod Ryan]

What did he find?

[Alex]

Found a bunch of other places.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, guys, Alex's six picks on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog page@the buzz.com. we'll come back. I got a 100 gift card to go see and eat like a king and a queen at the Republic Grill. I'll talk all about it. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative and the Rod Ryan morning show. The Buzz 94. Five the Buzz. Welcome back. Rod Ryan show on this Monday. Welcome back to school, kiddos. Haha. Just kidding.

[Mo]

Oh, you're excited on the first day, right?

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I'm excited. I think London was downplaying the excitement. She's looking forward to it.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

You know, you get to see your

[Alex]

friends the first day. You have to do anything, right?

[Rod Ryan]

But you gotta, you gotta do the kid thing. Oh, so exhausted. Oh my God.

[Alex]

Did you go to sleep okay last night? No. She didn't have masks sleep before the first day.

[Mo]

Couldn't sleep because she was excited.

[Rod Ryan]

So, you know, down bed, boom. Like dad right afterwards, goes to his room. I'm tired. And all of a sudden I hear she's not in bed 10 minutes. Dad, I can't fall asleep. Get your ass in bed. Get in there. Yeah, she came in and I, I go, you're excited. I go, I can tell you're really tired. I go, you're gonna be hurting Tomorrow. You gotta lay down.

[Alex]

Down.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Close your eyes.

[Rod Ryan]

You gotta lay down.

[Mo]

You got this.

[Rod Ryan]

So, yeah. Big day at school. Lots of school buses out there so far. It sounds like you guys are doing a pretty good job. Rec checks have been manageable this morning. Great job, everybody. They're school buses. We've all seen them before, but now is when they're really going to be out there. What's trending, Alex?

[Alex]

Tallulah Willis is trending.

[Rod Ryan]

She got married.

[Alex]

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter got married over the weekend. Married, Married, Married.

[Rod Ryan]

She got married.

[Alex]

She got married. So congratulations.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know much about those kids.

[Alex]

I do not either. I would imagine she's trying to get married while her father is still alive.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Alex]

I imagine that's probably.

[Rod Ryan]

And Bruce a part of it. Sure.

[Alex]

Big part of it. But it's important. So congratulations to them. Your Buffalo Bills are trending. Trouble in paradise. You had a brand new stadium and they're like, did they just let fans just wander around it? Was that what they did? Because I just saw videos of people shaking chairs and then going to, like, parts that are not seated areas and be like, obstructed view and where the hot dogs are.

[Rod Ryan]

It was ridiculous. So it was like a practice and then people could go into the state.

[Alex]

They were open practice. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

They were practicing in the stadium because they got a practice facility right there. So they're practicing in the stadium and then everybody started putting out these reviews. If you stood behind like a big girder, you're like, oh, obstructed view. $2 billion.

[Alex]

It's like, it's not a seat.

[Rod Ryan]

That girder is holding the place up.

[Mo]

Yeah, that's required.

[Alex]

It's like an obstructed view is from your actual seat.

[Mo]

Seat.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Not from the concession area or anything like that. It was just funny, I think. And then it turned into a bit where they were making fun of it and it was just like over the

[Rod Ryan]

top, but, oh, I gotta take these stairs. $2 billion. I have to go upstairs.

[Alex]

Yeah, right.

[Rod Ryan]

They can't have escalators everywhere. It is a pretty awesome stadium.

[Alex]

Did you see that? It's like the. The rows are shovel length. So when they. When it snows and they have the shovel.

[Rod Ryan]

They will never have to shovel now.

[Alex]

They'll just be able to.

[Rod Ryan]

There's a whole heating. There's a whole heating thing. They shouldn't have to do that anymore. Heated field. Heated stuff.

[Alex]

Yeah. And I don't want to really talk about this. Sophie Cunningham is training the WNBA Has a fight every weekend. And that's what it was. So that's what's training on by the bus.

[Rod Ryan]

She took a hard hit.

[Alex]

She did take a hard hit.

[Rod Ryan]

She took a hard hit. Ones that she has also dished out before. Correct hits like that. And she got ejected. The person that did that to her,

[Alex]

it's just the whole thing. It's a basketball league. It doesn't talk about basketball.

[Rod Ryan]

You're right. I understand your frustration.

[Mo]

Sorry, I do.

[Rod Ryan]

I. I'm trying to watch.

[Alex]

I'm trying to grow the game, you know?

[Mo]

Right. Used to be your joy.

[Alex]

It was. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Back to.

[Alex]

Back to back. WNBA fantasy champion.

[Rod Ryan]

Me for never watching one WNBA game. Boy, do I see the headlines. The majority of the people talking about

[Alex]

the WBA do not watch wnba. And that's the worst part about it.

[Rod Ryan]

And then I secretly talk about it with my, like, mo, did you see this ha hit the other day? All right, so I got an email. I came in this morning. I'm going through all my emails from the weekend, and this is a really good one. Shout out to Todd Voss, who really sent the email. He took a picture. He's wearing a Rod Ryan show shirt. He caught a Foo Fighter show in Soldier Field in Chicago. And he is so close. I mean, Dave Grohl. I mean, it's less than a pitching wedge. I mean, he could, like, almost hand him a beer. He's only got two people in front of him.

[Mo]

I post it in our stories.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, thank you. So the other picture that I got was you hear me talking to my friend Terry, Terry McBurney. So he owns the Republic Grill. And he must just assume that I know what he's talking about. First of all, he's packing for a trip, and he must have just thrown some T shirts in there. You know, you need T shirts when you go on a trip. He said, hey, I'm on a dad daughter trip. I'm in Annecy. I'm sure I'm saying that wrong, but the way that he didn't follow it up with what country that's in, he's assuming that I know where the hell he is. I had to go look it up. And I go, mo, look up Annecy.

[Mo]

I'd never heard of it.

[Rod Ryan]

And it looks. You said it looks like a Disney set. Like, yes, it looks like there's got

[Mo]

to be princesses walking around everywhere. Cobblestone, like pastel homes, architecture.

[Rod Ryan]

Anyways, he's canals. He's got an old Buzzfest shirt. So he sent this. He's in this beautiful part of France. And he's wearing a buzzfest shirt. He's like, hey, I just want to let you know I of repping you guys around the world. I've got some. This is the guy, he owns the Republic Grill. All right? One of the top restaurants in America. And they get awarded this, like with TripAdvisor. You hear me talk about it all the time. I rave about the food. I want you to go and eat. I'm going to give away a $100 gift card. There's three locations. The Woodlands, Magnolia and Spring. I want you to go, I want you to eat, and I want you to tell me. I mean, like, I know I'm right all the time.

[Mo]

It's hard.

[Rod Ryan]

But I do want you to say, rod, you were right. The food was so good.

[Alex]

Good.

[Rod Ryan]

If you're like, if you don't know what to order, just get the American wagyu chicken fried steak. Get it. But go get it on us if you want a 100 Republic Grill gift card. 713-212-5945. The Rod Ryan show mornings. Sock glass here.

[Alex]

6 to 10am on 94.

[Rod Ryan]

Five the Bull. That's the ending. Hi, good morning. Rob Ryan Show. 94.5The buzz on this Monday. I hope you guys had a great weekend. Alex had a great weekend. No treasure. That's okay.

[Alex]

Real treasure was time I spent with family and friends.

[Rod Ryan]

The family and friends and you guys, you struck it better than gold. Okay. But you are out 60 bucks on a metal detector. That did not.

[Alex]

Well, I mean, I mean that we're not done metal detecting. I mean, that could still find treasure eventually. Just it hasn't yet found treasure.

[Rod Ryan]

It'll be super nerdy if you go out on your own and do that a little bit.

[Mo]

Like go buy your house.

[Rod Ryan]

I get it. It was a cool bit for the radio.

[Alex]

The beach. But like, next time I go to the beach, you think, I'm not bringing that bad boy with me.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Alex]

It's just come and that you think, next time you guys go to the beach, I'm not making you guys take that too. And then if you find it, I get a cut. Oh.

[Rod Ryan]

That's why he's like, oh, I get a cut. You go to the beach. This one is there all the time.

[Mo]

I do go to the beach a lot.

[Rod Ryan]

Do you charge it up?

[Alex]

It's got the batteries.

[Rod Ryan]

Regular batteries.

[Alex]

Yeah. So you just put new batteries. Two seconds to set up.

[Rod Ryan]

I think Win maybe showed me that he had something. He also has one he listens to the show. Does it. If there was a quarter or something in the ground, would it tell you what it is?

[Alex]

It has, like, four little things, and like, one of them was, like, if it was nickel, it would, like, light up in the second one. And there was one that looked like a magnet or a nail. And then there was. I can't remember what the third one was. Maybe it was silver. It might have been silver.

[Rod Ryan]

Gotcha.

[Alex]

But we thought that it was nickel. When we would find all, like, the. The nails and stuff, I thought that

[Rod Ryan]

thing would be the nails. Gold. Boom, boom, boom, boom.

[Alex]

Yeah, they didn't have a gold one, I don't think.

[Rod Ryan]

Gold one.

[Alex]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, let's go over the phones here. Good morning, Rod Ryan show.

[Mo]

Hello?

[Rod Ryan]

Hi. Who's this? This is Julie. Oh, have I got something for you. Have I got something for you, Julie.

[Alex]

Good morning.

[Mo]

Oh, well, sorry.

[Rod Ryan]

[Mo]

I'm back.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm back to school today. Everybody, settle down for announcements. Announcements are coming.

[Mo]

What's for lunch?

[Rod Ryan]

What do you mean you're back at school? Are you. Are you a teacher?

[Mo]

I'm a teacher's aide.

[Rod Ryan]

Teacher's aid. Okay. What time are the kids in? Like, need to be in their seats today.

[Mo]

Well, they're not.

[Alex]

They're not coming today, but they're coming

[Mo]

Wednesday, and they got to be in

[Alex]

their seats at eight.

[Rod Ryan]

What's the isd?

[Mo]

Willis.

[Rod Ryan]

Willis. Isd.

[Alex]

So you just.

[Rod Ryan]

But you've got a lot of stuff. You got to get ready and prepared, and then you're an assistant. You're an assistant for what grade? For a behavioral unit.

[Mo]

So lots of grades in elementary.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. There's a lot going on over there.

[Mo]

Get Julie this gift card.

[Rod Ryan]

Julie, I've got a $100 gift card to the Republic Grill. Let me tell you. I know, I know you're going to need this. I know you're going to need to unwind.

[Mo]

Deserve it.

[Rod Ryan]

I cannot tell you how great this restaurant is. There's three of them. There's the Woodlands, Magnolia, and Spring. Okay, awesome.

[Alex]

I haven't tried it yet.

[Mo]

Yet.

[Rod Ryan]

But I, you know, I live in

[Mo]

the area, so I'm excited.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, this is perfect. Even if you want to just lay down your $100 gift card and say, bring me all the cornbread. Like, just load up the card with cornbread. Okay. Just. Just say, I want a hundred bucks, 100 bucks in cornbread. And you'll. You'll be like, oh, this was a great idea. Awesome idea. All right, well, pick you up on that. Have a great school year. Okay. Awesome. Thank you so much. I'm excited. Thank you, Julie. I'm excited. Excited for you. Excited for all the teachers. They'll be hitting up happy hours this week.

[Mo]

They deserve it, right? Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, oh, boy. I mean, I'm sending in. I'll admit it, I'm sending in an absolute summer brain. Rotten kid. Okay. I was the worst at making her keep up on. I'm sure there's these overachievers. Oh, good for you. My kid read nine books this summer. My kid didn't read any. Okay. Not a one. I'm so dead.

[Alex]

Nothing.

[Rod Ryan]

Rod. I'm terrible. The worst dad ever.

[Mo]

She had a good summer.

[Rod Ryan]

She did have a fun summer.

[Mo]

She likes to read, so she'll get back into it. Right?

[Rod Ryan]

I hope she remembers how to. It's such a lot of work. It's like, like, ah. It just kind of. It hit me the other day. I'm like, oh, yeah, we didn't really do anything. Yeah, we didn't do anything. Like, there was. There was one day there was some kind of a book that came home and it's like, hey, here's a little fun thing that maybe you could do just to kind of, you know, just

[Mo]

to keep it fresh.

[Rod Ryan]

Keep a little oil on the wheels, you know what I mean? On the sprockets. We did it once. We did it once. I just should not share this stuff with you guys. I am sorry to that teacher. My kid doesn't know what day it is. Awful. You make your kids do stuff. Yes.

[Mo]

They have workbooks.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, come on.

[Mo]

They're really working.

[Rod Ryan]

Why didn't you tell me you were doing that? Then you would have said, dummy, I

[Mo]

will buy you a workbook.

[Rod Ryan]

Don't forget about the work. We have them. I just didn't.

[Mo]

They love the workbooks. My kids still think it's fun.

[Rod Ryan]

And every day you did something.

[Mo]

They like it, though. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I didn't ease up on, like, the. The YouTube and the tablet. We don't do that. No. A little bit and a little bit more and more. It's. It's very hard for me to let her sit there with a tablet. I'm just like, I know it's going

[Mo]

to happen and their friends are doing it.

[Rod Ryan]

You can't avoid it.

[Mo]

She needs to know how to do it.

[Rod Ryan]

What I. What I never did was pushing her around in the stroller. And she was just there on the phone the whole time. Like, we didn't do any of that.

[Mo]

You're fine.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. We didn't do anything this summer.

[Mo]

It's okay. We're back.

[Rod Ryan]

You know what I don't have either?

[Mo]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't have the cool, pre made up first day of school chalkboardy thing.

[Mo]

Alex was just asking me about that.

[Rod Ryan]

I got none of that. Yeah, I mean, there'll be a picture, but I don't have. That's it.

[Mo]

That's good.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. But I don't have.

[Mo]

You've got the picture.

[Rod Ryan]

Failing. I'm failing.

[Mo]

It's fine.

[Rod Ryan]

Let me guess. Your kid's got a chalkboard and it's like, okay, sailor, kindergarten, first day. And then you. Then you rub it out and then you make one for Briggs. Let me guess. Let me just guess. You have that.

[Mo]

I set up the dining room table. It looks like a school bus.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, God.

[Mo]

With all the, like, plates and stuff. It's kindergarten.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. Stuck on 6.

[Alex]

Houston's rockin alternative.

[Mo]

The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am, 94. 5 the buzz. 94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the buzz. September 30th. But you're gonna have to go to a theater to see the brand new documentary from Lincoln Park. It's called Unshatter. Apparently they got all kinds of footage. The seven years that they waited to get back together after Chester Bennington death. And then everything was hush hush secret. Who's gonna be the new lead singer? We heard them doing some stuff. And then Emily Armstrong. And a new drummer too, who always gets the shaft. Like everybody knows you're talking about the new singer. The new drummer too. I know. Nobody cares. It's a big deal. It's a big deal to change out members like that of your band that have been together forever, since they were young, you know. So we'll, we'll talk more about that. But it just. It's set for a theatrical release in September 30th. And Mr. Han, he is the director. He's the. I'm the ones and twos.

[Mo]

Oh, that guy.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Mr. Han.

[Alex]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

Hi, Mo.

[Mo]

Hey.

[Rod Ryan]

Suburb summer sizzler is coming up. Big day here in Houston. Isd up in the morning and out to school. What you got over there in Houston's headlines?

[Mo]

Welcome back to school Houston and Galveston. We love all of y' all be safe out there. With the changing of the routines. It is cloudy outside.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Okay.

[Mo]

Yes. So throw an umbrella in your routine. If you think about it, showers starting this morning. This morning, mostly south of by 10. They continue to build inland through the afternoon and evening. By 5pm and it looks like the intensity begins to fall apart after the rain moves out hotter and dry for the rest of the week. Taylor Farms, back in the news. They're the company that had recalled lettuce. With the whole cyclospora outbreak, they're now recalling food items with jalapenos. Jalapenos are the new thing we're looking at.

[Rod Ryan]

Why was it called poop lettuce. But I have not heard anybody say poop jalapenos.

[Mo]

It just doesn't roll off your tongue like lettuce as does.

[Rod Ryan]

For some reason, people were saying poop lettuce. And the jalapenos they got, they escaped that.

[Mo]

And we're seeing A lot of our favorite Tex Mex restaurants also being like, mushes and dings. The jalapenos for a minute. And a lot of grocery stores removing meat products that include jalapenos. I saw Heb report that. Okay, so watch out. During the school year, this new report says parents spend 432 hours on meal prep.

[Rod Ryan]

Seems like a lot. Yeah, that's a lot.

[Mo]

They broke it down. On average, three hours meal planning. Three hours per week meal planning. That just seems excessive.

[Rod Ryan]

Just planning.

[Mo]

Not actually.

[Rod Ryan]

Not the execution.

[Mo]

No. We got three hours. Also grocery shopping.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I think about it, but I don't. I'm not. I'm not spending it. There's no way I'm allocating three hours of my thought process.

[Mo]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

On what my kids eating at lunch.

[Mo]

Me either. Two hours. Hours per week. Packing school lunches. I'll give them that. Two hours a week. How long does it take you to cut out the little.

[Rod Ryan]

You know what this is? This is those influencer moms and everything's in a little baggie and it's labeled and blah, blah, blah. It's like, oh, I do this for the whole week. No, you don't. Okay, stop.

[Mo]

You gotta keep them interested. Avoid food waste and find foods your kids will actually eat. Those are the hurdles.

[Rod Ryan]

I saw something over the weekend again. I need you to look it up just when you get a second, which I know, it'll be in about two minutes.

[Mo]

What is it?

[Rod Ryan]

I saw. Did anyone else see this as an ad, maybe on a YouTube commercial? And it was like this ionic device. And they throw a bunch of strawberries that they've already kind of rinsed off.

[Mo]

Oh, yeah, I've seen this.

[Rod Ryan]

And they put it in a clear bowl, and then they put this, like, big. It looks like a Bluetooth speaker, and they put it in the water and then all this. This dirt starts coming off of the stuff and all the pesticides.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Is it real?

[Mo]

My dad did a deep dive. I mean, it's fake, right? Buy it.

[Rod Ryan]

It's fake.

[Mo]

I don't know if it actually works.

[Rod Ryan]

It doesn't do that.

[Mo]

Like, everybody scientists to tell me everybody

[Rod Ryan]

rinses off the strawberries for their kids and the blueberries. And all right.

[Mo]

Now we're soaking them.

[Rod Ryan]

It says that it's not enough.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And then it's like this pill. I knew that video looked AI. I'm like, there's no way. It was so dirty and cloudy. What it was pulling out of these strawberries.

[Mo]

Did you buy it?

[Alex]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

I wanted to run it past you. I knew that you had already probably deep. Or you or one of your relatives have already gone through it.

[Mo]

Sticking to my baking.

[Rod Ryan]

Did your dad really look?

[Mo]

He did.

[Rod Ryan]

And? Nothing.

[Mo]

He doesn't think it's real.

[Rod Ryan]

He doesn't think it's real.

[Mo]

But he's also 100 years old.

[Rod Ryan]

So those videos are fake, Right?

[Mo]

I think so.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

But I would do anything to not get Cyclo Spra. Only fans pays more than Harry Potter. Apparently. If your name is Jesse Cave. She played a character called Lavender Brown in the later Harry Potter flicks. Ron Weasley's weird girlfriend.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, we haven't gotten there yet.

[Mo]

On her only fans, it's. There's no nudity, no explicit content. She makes her money by brushing and playing with her hair. She said it genuinely has saved her family's life.

[Rod Ryan]

Every girl's sitting on a million dollars. Just got to figure out where it is.

[Mo]

I don't.

[Rod Ryan]

That's her million dollars.

[Mo]

But that.

[Rod Ryan]

That's her thing.

[Mo]

That's her thing.

[Rod Ryan]

But there's nothing you think. Only fans. Okay.

[Mo]

She's got it.

[Rod Ryan]

She's got to go in and explain herself. You got to know what you're getting yourself into here. You're not gonna see things that maybe you see on other only fan sites.

[Alex]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

She's literally playing and brushing her along now. She's got hair down past her waist, have excessive locks. And occasionally she'll post some stuff on just her regular Instagram.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

But I mean there's just a bunch of creepy weird dudes.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

That have money.

[Mo]

She did say she's getting shut out of like doing fan conventions because she's in only fans and that's a stigma. Seems dumb.

[Rod Ryan]

She's not doing anything wrong.

[Mo]

She's just playing with her hair.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

You go, girl. It appears things went well on the 2026 Oasis reunion tour. So well that the brothers are willing to keep it going. Okay. Now this comes from the sun, so take it as you will. But sources say the band has some rather high profile gigs already lined up for next year. Reportedly their schedule includes 12 nights at Manchester's Etihad Stadium.

[Alex]

Etihad.

[Mo]

Thank you.

[Alex]

An airline.

[Mo]

12.

[Rod Ryan]

How big is that stadium? Just roughly 50,000.

[Alex]

Give me a second.

[Mo]

Okay. Followed by six nights at Nebworth. So they're both abroad, but they're just knocking out shows.

[Rod Ryan]

I think they're gonna go for like, for records.

[Alex]

61, 000. A little. A little more than 61,000 for a game. So you can buy Your floor, maybe

[Rod Ryan]

the stage takes off. Yeah, you're right. So whatever. They take off with the end zone, with the stage, they add the floor numbers.

[Alex]

So 70 ish thousand maybe.

[Rod Ryan]

I. I bet it still stays right around 60,000.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

And they want to do how many nights in that one?

[Mo]

12 at that one 12.

[Rod Ryan]

60,000 people. And that area is not that huge.

[Mo]

So there'd be people flying in to go.

[Rod Ryan]

More people in London.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. What you got?

[Alex]

The Astros lost the Padres last night. 7 2. They lost two of three against San Diego over the weekend. Tonight they're gonna open up a three game series with the Giants on the road. Hayden Wisneski is going to be on the mound for the Strobes going up against San Francisco's Blazer Tidwell. First pitches at 8:45. And you can listen to it on our sister Station sports talk. 790.

[Rod Ryan]

The guy's name is Blade. Is that a nickname?

[Mo]

So cool.

[Alex]

It's just said Blade Tidwell, Blade. ESPN Blade. Pretty well so.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex]

That's what's going on in sports.

[Rod Ryan]

Blade. I even thought to name my kid Blade.

[Mo]

His real name is Janzen. Blade Tidwell.

[Alex]

Middle name Janzen Z E N. You know what's that?

[Rod Ryan]

Sounds cool. What? Briggs Blade.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Why didn't you go? You could have gone Blade for the middle name.

[Mo]

Dang. There's still time.

[Rod Ryan]

Briggs Blade.

[Alex]

Change it.

[Rod Ryan]

Briggs Blade. First day of school. Briggs Blade.

[Rod Ryan]

Halfway part of the show, people. Wow. 8:09. 809 on this Monday. Welcome back from the weekend. Alex had the weekend.

[Alex]

Huh?

[Rod Ryan]

Alex had the six picks this weekend. Came up short.

[Alex]

They'll do it every week.

[Rod Ryan]

Came up a little short on the. On the metal detector. On the metal detecting. It's your first week out. It's gotta be a learning curve. Do you think you do what we're doing? I mean, do I?

[Alex]

Is there to walking over the sand?

[Rod Ryan]

My guess is you didn't read the instruction booklet that came with it.

[Alex]

Absolutely not. That thing I thrown out that night.

[Rod Ryan]

Wrong guess on my part. I know I'm right on this. I didn't have to look.

[Alex]

I put it together. I didn't have a problem with it. Like seemed pretty self explanatory. It beeps when there's stuff. It doesn't beep when there's not stuff.

[Rod Ryan]

There had to be tips on there that said, hey, you know, walk over

[Alex]

sand walk over where stuff could be buried. Like there's. I don't really feel like there needs to be instructions in metal detector.

[Mo]

I kind of agree with Alex.

[Alex]

Like a tactic. Attach pole. Attach other part of pole. Attach the metal detecting part. Attach the top part. Done.

[Rod Ryan]

Walk around, find things. Alex has his six picks on the world famous Red Ryan show blog [e-mail]

[Alex]

rebar that I found you would have loved.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, dude, I would have loved some rebar.

[Alex]

You kidding me, Sandy? Rebar.

[Rod Ryan]

Let me explain what's happening today. Today was gonna be. It is a big day. It's a huge day.

[Alex]

Day.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Suburb summer sizzler. Every day that we're doing the sizzler is a big day for me. I love this game. Thank you to our friends over at shell federal credit union. We got Shayla from Texas city taking on Sarah from the Woodlands. It's an Australian thing.

[Alex]

Shayla.

[Rod Ryan]

This was going to be the last game in the outside of the brackets. You can see the brackets. There's a page. There's a suburb summer sizzler page. I'm looking at it, but because we had that game where those two dudes didn't guess the song, it left. Well, I got it, but I have to explain. We just kind of said, all right, we'll figure this out. It'll all come out in the wash down the road. Well, we got down the road and. And I'll say it. I made the decision. I want to play a game there.

[Mo]

Yeah, we hated it.

[Rod Ryan]

I. I didn't want somebody because that. That person's going to win. They would have had a bye week.

[Alex]

That's not their fault.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not their fault. And it's their gain.

[Alex]

It's the other people's fault.

[Rod Ryan]

But I'm taking that gain away from them. I want everybody to earn their way in. I want everybody to win their way to the top to get to that last. To get to the final four to win $250. And then when you win the whole thing. When you win the whole thing, we'll give you $5,000 from Shop Federal credit union. That's why we're playing an extra game tomorrow. Yes. Are the people work that in that loss for them.

[Alex]

They're not playing like that. City is out.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Alex]

That suburb is done.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't agree with that, but it looks like Chile went with what you said.

[Alex]

Thank you, Chile. For Chile having integrity.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex is blaming the whole suburb now. If suburb loses, it's out. You can't be like, well, they both lost. So the suburb can still play.

[Alex]

No, that suburb's done. They could have won. It didn't win.

[Rod Ryan]

I thought it was a little harsh.

[Alex]

Both suburbs had their opportunity and both suburbs didn't get it done.

[Rod Ryan]

Two new suburbs will be playing tomorrow.

[Mo]

North Shore versus Copperfield.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, There you go.

[Alex]

They'll buzz in.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay? Alex and North Shore and James and Copperfield get a rare opportunity with an extra game. And then all it really does is just pushes the tournament back. Everything is back one day from what we originally scheduled. Okay? That's it. That's all you need to know. Let us just worry about all like, listen, I tell you guys a little bit how the sausage is made, but that's all you need to know, okay? You don't need to see the little man working the levers and working the smoke and all that stuff behind the curtain, okay? Just look at the almighty and powerful Oz and enjoy it. Okay? Texas City takes on the Woodlands. We play that game after these, Houston's

[Alex]

rocking alternative, the Rod ryan Morning show.

[Mo]

6 to 10am 94. 5 the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

[Alex]

Good morning.

[Rod Ryan]

What's trending?

[Alex]

Ben Jones is still training the.

[Rod Ryan]

What is it?

[Alex]

Cooter from Dukes of As. Did you said he passed away at 84.

[Rod Ryan]

You throwing it out there like you're not locked in that his name was. Absolutely. Because you told me Cooter told me that. I didn't watch Dukes of As.

[Mo]

Was it fun saying it?

[Rod Ryan]

His character's name was Cooter.

[Alex]

I'm see me reading I love sort

[Rod Ryan]

of Ben Cooter Jones passed away. So not only was he on that show Dukes of Hazzard, but he was he a senator? He was, sure. Oh, yeah.

[Alex]

Dukes of Hazard maybe.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, like he was in Congress or something. Like a couple of terms.

[Alex]

Okay. Cooter.

[Mo]

Say it.

[Rod Ryan]

It's fun.

[Alex]

RIP Cooter.

[Rod Ryan]

You liked it, didn't you, Congressman? You smiled. He smirked when he said it.

[Alex]

Tupac murder trial is trending.

[Mo]

I'm so confused by this.

[Alex]

It's going on today, 30 years later. Why they think they found a guy that they think did it. Not shrug night. All right, so that's happening. And then Whitney Houston Barbie doll. Oh, yeah, they're honoring her with a Barbie doll.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a good looking Barbie doll.

[Alex]

Yeah, it is.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a really good looking Barbie doll. It's on the Looking at Ladies blog. Page today. It's a good looking Barbie doll. I mean, Whitney Houston was a good looking lady. So this Barbie doll is good. It looks like her.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. You know, I would be of proud.

[Alex]

This was Trinity and I for the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

That was one of the things I looked forward to watching the hall of fame ceremony to see if. To see if the bus looks like the guy. Sometimes. Sometimes they're just off.

[Mo]

Were they good?

[Rod Ryan]

I really only watched Drew Brees and I thought his looked pretty good. But I'll say this about Drew Brees, whether you care about him or not. His speech was so moving and everything that he said. I think anybody could benefit from hearing about how he put in the work, how he was so thoughtful in thanking everybody. And I'm sure they all did great. But there was just something special about Drew's words, the way that he put them together. It was really. It was well done. It was. Well, he's well spoken guy. Do we need to talk to Chili?

[Mo]

What's wrong?

[Alex]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

He's been shuffling and jiving over there. He looks like he's.

[Mo]

Oh, he's mad.

[Rod Ryan]

It looks like there's extra. Extra plates being spun.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Hi, Chili. What's up, man? So Sheila from Texas City and Sarah from the Woodlands. No, now the Woodlands is out. I mean, the Woodlands is still in. But Sarah from the Woodlands would not answer. Kept going to voicemail the whole time. So we hope she's okay. We hope she's okay, but we. We always prepare for the worst. So I called the backup, which was Mark Marcus. Okay. Marcus Stanley. So he answered the phone after the second time.

[Mo]

So he's.

[Rod Ryan]

He's in there.

[Mo]

He's in.

[Rod Ryan]

Not even the first time. All right, let me say. Marcus, Good morning. Good morning, Marcus.

[Alex]

You.

[Rod Ryan]

You were told that you were a backup just in case the worst happened. But you're probably thinking, I'm never gonna get thrown in. Nobody's gonna not call. Nobody's not gonna pick up the phone. So you didn't think you were.

[Alex]

Yeah, I gave up a long time ago.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. When.

[Alex]

When you.

[Rod Ryan]

You woke up this morning, you did not think at all that you were playing the suburb summer Sizzler. Not at all. Wow. And you picked up. Dude, just came into my lap like five minutes ago. Bro. I have such. I have such love for you this morning. Thank you. Okay. To keep this. To keep this thing rolling. How could I not be rooting for you a little bit? Now listen, Shayla, Sheila's there, though. Like, I gotta love Sheila because you Picked up. You knew you were playing today. We already talked about it. We told the world that Sheila from Texas City is playing on Monday. And you picked up the phone when Chili made the call. You didn't wuss out. I did. I picked it up. Way to go. Now, Mark. Marcus didn't know he was playing. There was no practicing. There was no nothing. Right.

[Alex]

I've been waiting my whole life.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, good answer. Really good answer. Now, Sheila, who knew she was playing, have you been practicing? I have been for the last two weeks. Two weeks of practice. All right. I love you both. I love you both because the game's gonna be great. I know it is. It's the Suburb Summer Sizzler. It's brought to us by Shell Federal Credit Union. And again, Sarah, we hope you're okay.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. But we got Marcus in here. We'll find out if it's the right guy. He's been waiting his whole life. Put me in Coach mom spaghetti. The whole song. Okay. It's a whole thing today for Marcus. Alex, game 16. That makes sense to me in a bracket situation. We are going to play a 17th game tomorrow because of that thing that we don't talk about that much anymore. Guys, I'm going to play a song, a very, very popular song here on 94. 5 the Buzz. You're going to hear it. You're going to hear it through your phone. I need you to shout out your name. When you think you know the name of the song and the band that does that song, you have to shout out your name. Marcus and Sheila is what we are listening for. Marcus, are you ready? Absolutely. I know you are. I know you're Sheila. You ready? I am. Let's go. Let's go. The suburb Summer Sizzler, 2026. Here is your song. Good luck.

[Mo]

Not only does he wake up today not knowing he's gonna be on the radio, he comes in and takes such a cut this morning. I love the way that you played. You just couldn't. You just couldn't get that title out, huh, bro? That was it. Well, I had it there. Just. I went blank.

[Alex]

Oh,

[Rod Ryan]

I feel like I gotta break the news to him. Marcus, this transaction is over. You didn't get it in time.

[Alex]

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

He gets it. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I wasn't sure he Was understanding. Thank you for the opportunity. Marcus, I love you. I knew you.

Yeah, I really do.

[Rod Ryan]

I love you. But let's celebrate. Sheila.

[Alex]

I love you guys.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, Marcus. Sheila.

[Alex]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. Where were you at on that song?

[Mo]

Long? I was almost there.

[Rod Ryan]

I was just getting the vibe of it.

[Mo]

Okay. Yeah. Vibe.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Cage the Elephant. Ain't no rest for the wicked. Hey, you're advancing. You're advancing in the tournament, Sheila.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Summer of Summer, Sizzler before that. That was the song. I don't want to hear from you if you're on the sidelines. You didn't sign up. What's unacceptable to me is somebody go, dude, that song was so easy. How did they not get that?

[Mo]

What's that called, like a couch quarterback or something?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, the Monday morning quarterback. Armchair quarterback. That type of thing where it's like, listen, when you're playing in the game and it's running in real time, you're on the phone. A little bit more difficult. Yeah, it's a little bit more difficult. Same thing with, I mean, mo, I love you. Yeah, but how dumb are those questions? In the fresh out of bed, head to head challenge.

[Mo]

I mean, come on.

[Rod Ryan]

I know you know spell cat. And it's like, people freak spell cat. I'll spot you the C and the T spell cat. And it's like some people won't yell out their name. Like, it's got to be a trick. No, I just didn't give you the A. That was it. Sometimes you don't have to overthink it. Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last outside game outside of the brackets. It's starting on Wednesday. It's returning champions going against one another. Oh, yeah. It's exciting. Getting close. Our friends over at Shell Federal Credit Union gave us $6,000. 250 for everybody that makes it to the Final Four. $5,000 to the grand champion.

[Mo]

Awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Really awesome. You got time for a little double standard story?

[Mo]

Well, we'll see what it's about and then I'll tell you if it was A waste of my time.

[Rod Ryan]

It's kind of silly to think that this is the world we live in and these people kind of had a laugh about it and made it work. Guy and a girl go out to eat. They're meeting up at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Kind of got a little traction online over the weekend. Place had a dress code. I don't mind it. It's your place. You can have a dress code. I don't have any problem with it at all. Okay. Men could not wear sleeveless shirts.

[Mo]

Okay?

[Rod Ryan]

This is America.

[Mo]

I get it.

[Rod Ryan]

They say it on their website. Okay. Men. No sleeveless shirts.

[Alex]

Men.

[Rod Ryan]

So they meet up at this restaurant, and they showed up, and he didn't see that on the website. He has a sleeveless shirt. She now has, like, a silky blouse, kind of satiny. A sleeved satin blouse with, like, there's a horse pattern on it.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

They got turned down at the door. They had reservations. They went back to the car, and they thought, let's try this. They switch shirts.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

He's now wearing a woman's address blouse. It's a blouse. A blouse is a shirt.

[Alex]

Just the top blouse is, like, the whole thing.

[Rod Ryan]

No, they switch tops.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

She's now wearing the sleeveless shirt.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

And he's wearing, clearly, a women's blouse. And it looked ridiculous on the guy. And the restaurant even kind of giggled about it. And they said, rules are rules. Come on in and eat.

[Mo]

That's funny. That's amazing.

[Rod Ryan]

It really doesn't make sense that one can wear that and the other can't.

[Alex]

It doesn't have to, though. It's like their thing, you know?

[Rod Ryan]

But I'm not mad at the restaurant at all. And the fact that they were cool about it, it's like, okay. They had a little bit of a sense of humor about the whole thing.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Do they change to nobody can wear sleeveless now? No, because there's plenty of, like, really nice girl. Women's outfits started to be so binary. But there's plenty of clothes that women wear. A lot of women are known to wear that are sleeveless, very fancy sleeveless outfits. There's not a lot of fancy sleeveless dude outfits. I can't think of anything correct other than the guy that used to make those choppers and they cut off the sleeves of their tuxedos wherever. They walked the red carpet one way one day, and he's got those big, you know, tunnel.

[Mo]

That was, like, a thing.

[Rod Ryan]

Big arms in it. Like, that looked cool. Yeah, that looked awesome.

[Alex]

Like, did it Say what kind of restaurant? Like, it was. It was a. Like, if it was a steak place, if it was a restaurant on the beach and you're not letting people in with that, I would imagine. It's not that I don't think it's

[Rod Ryan]

on the beach, so I understand. No, you got to play to your audience.

[Alex]

Yeah. If you're, like, at a beach, then you should probably expect there's going to be some people that are coming in sleeveless. But if you're like a steak restaurant, absolutely. You have every right to be like, no, dude, you can't wear sleeveless. The shirts in here.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't go to Austin a lot. Can you get into even the nicest place with flip flops? Like, do they just allow flip flops everywhere?

[Mo]

I don't know.

[Alex]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

That's. That's. That's the Austin outfit.

[Alex]

A flipflop?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

You're shocked by that?

[Mo]

I don't think Austin didn't think flip flops.

[Rod Ryan]

I do. I think feet.

[Mo]

Do you Feet? I think.

[Rod Ryan]

I think feet out. Out at all times. And the guys will be. The guys will be nicely dressed up top. But then there's goddamn flip flop. I'm like, what are you doing?

[Alex]

And I think they experience more than flip flops.

[Rod Ryan]

I think they let them in everywhere.

[Mo]

Oh, my goodness.

[Alex]

Have you ever been dressed cutter before? Like a restaurant? I've gone in before, and they told me I had to take a hat off, which I was fine with.

[Rod Ryan]

But, oh, yeah, I didn't have a jacket.

[Alex]

Did they give you a jacket?

[Mo]

Jacket, though, right?

[Rod Ryan]

It was.

[Mo]

They have a little closet full of them.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

This restaurant could have done that with that guy.

[Rod Ryan]

And this is another thing. It's silly. You don't even have to wear the jacket. They said, put it on your arm. Walk through the restaurant. Put it on the back of your chair. Chair. And you're fine. It was Emerald Lagasse's place when I first got to New Orleans. And I like, not that I know anything now, but, God, I didn't know anything back then. And I was driving dressed like a complete loser, and they're like, oh, God. Like, does this. This guy's never been out of the house before? And they gave me a jacket, and they just said, you got to walk through the restaurant with it.

[Alex]

Which is fair. That's fair. Their place.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And tubby was about 250 back then. They didn't have a jacket that fit me, so I was fat guy in a little coat. That's What I would have looked like for sure. Brad Ryan waking up people. Houston, whether it likes it or not.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a massive prize. And I, I want somebody locally to win. You're competing with a lot of people. I really want somebody local to win that because I, I'd like to have some eyes at this thing.

Okay. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, rod ryan show. Blink 182, all the small things. 8:52. We're gonna set you up with a keyword. I'm gonna set you up for success. I'm gonna set you up with a trip that you could win to the iHeartRadio Music Music Festival in Las Vegas and maybe have the best weekend of your life. That's what we're gonna set you up with at around 9, 10.

[Alex]

Today.

[Rod Ryan]

Don't worry, we're gonna be back giving away some Monster Jam tickets. You know it's coming back in October, right? October 17th. Reliant Stadium. Is it Reliance Stadium now? What are we calling it? Energy's Done. It's Reliant Stadium back. It's back to that. All right, pit tickets and a four pack with Monster Jam tickets. Tickets. That's coming up on Mo the show today. All right, Mo, what you got One final time here up in the morning and out to school.

[Mo]

It's a busy week. Back to school all week, so just be prepared for the changing of routines. And if you think about it, throw an umbrella into that routine. Especially today. Showers started this morning south of I10. If you didn't get an 8, you're lucky. They are scattered, but by 5pm it looks like showers and storm intensity begins to fall apart. After that, rain moves out hotter and dry for the rest of the week. Okay, Powerball jackpot is approaching.

[Rod Ryan]

A Billy Rod the plumber buys these all the time, no matter what the numbers at is. He just.

[Mo]

He's like trucking through the small towns and he's like, this one looks lucky.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

So he stops in.

[Rod Ryan]

He's a regular player.

[Mo]

He is.

[Rod Ryan]

He doesn't wait for these Big Jack.

[Mo]

Oh, he kind of waits till it gets larger.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

No grand prize winner Saturday night. So tonight the jackpot stands at 905 million8. Largest jackpot in Powerball history. You want to wait till it's a little bit more? Well, I only gas today, so I

[Rod Ryan]

bought one last week. I don't really go anywhere, so I don't need gas.

[Mo]

So you're mad at me for bringing it up?

[Rod Ryan]

No, it needs to be talked about. It's big.

[Mo]

It's big.

[Rod Ryan]

It's huge.

[Mo]

And it's like, if you're out, then that's more likely I'll win.

[Rod Ryan]

But you're getting in history territory, right? You are 10th biggest one. Something like that.

[Mo]

Eight. But yes, eighth biggest superhero mom is in the headlines and she is getting millions of views and likes online for a unique tattoo she had done to help out her kiddo.

[Rod Ryan]

So cool.

[Mo]

The mom cannot communicate with her 11 year old. He's nonverbal, autistic, and he usually uses a communication device, but his device lost power. They're in a restaurant. So he drew a keyboard from memory and used his finger to type out what he wanted to order at the restaurant. So the mom was like, okay. She got the keyboard tattooed on her forearm. It's got all the letters. It's got a happy and sad face and it has an I heart you button which just absolutely slays my heart. So now her son can communicate and. And the best part, when he uses the device, it speaks it out loud. But when he's doing it on his mom's forearm, she can just kind of follow along with her eyes and see what he's trying to say.

[Rod Ryan]

I really do love this story. It was like one of the later ones because I said here's a bunch of fluff stories. But I sent this one to you very late, before we went on the air. I'm so glad you went with it.

[Mo]

It's definitely trending.

[Rod Ryan]

Julie has it on links and guests.

[Mo]

Happy birthday. Kylie jenner, sister, 29 years old today and she celebrated over the weekend with, with her sisters, her friends. The theme of the party. Kitty Kylie, naturally. But people are talking about the cake. I see three cakes. The one we're talking about is modeled by Kylie's torso and her hips.

[Rod Ryan]

Just full of yourself.

[Mo]

The cake is wearing a pink bikini with birthday candles sticking out of the boobies. Little pierced belly button.

[Rod Ryan]

Can you imagine coming to my birthday party and there's like a dad bod cake that everybody's eating on.

[Alex]

Yeah, you wouldn't get your cake. But like she can get that cake.

[Mo]

Someone would buy it for you. You and it'd be funny.

[Rod Ryan]

This puts him in the hatable category. I'm sorry. It does.

[Mo]

She didn't order this cake. Her friends did it.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, you don't. Oh, I'm done with you.

[Mo]

Do you think she requested this cake?

[Rod Ryan]

Dumb mom ordered it.

[Mo]

Maybe Timothy Chalamet ordered it for her cuz he loves her body.

[Rod Ryan]

You know what he's like, could you make the titties a little bigger?

[Mo]

I bet they're just.

[Rod Ryan]

It's so hateable.

[Mo]

Stop.

[Rod Ryan]

Just her and that whatever that look

[Mo]

is she's got, it's not for me. But I don't.

[Rod Ryan]

We haven't talked about Kylie in a long time.

[Mo]

You're right.

[Rod Ryan]

Good for her.

[Mo]

Foo Fighters, we talk about them every once in a while. Today Rod is the Rock and Roll hall of Fame celebrating Foo Fighters fan day. Tonight they have the show in Cleveland.

[Rod Ryan]

So we're, we're looking to see if there is a. Or just like a, a a drive by or I'm watching one of the guys comes, you know, floating in.

[Mo]

I'll tell you tomorrow maybe. But what I do know is the Foo Fighters have released a surprise six song live ep. They recorded it at those little Intimate concerts they were doing earlier this year where they're popping up like what? Jersey, New York. You can listen to it. Now

[Rod Ryan]

back to that Kylie cake. Oh, wow. It's like a bachelor party. Cake.

[Mo]

Cake.

[Rod Ryan]

No. Girls are eating a torso of a woman. I can't believe you guys aren't as outraged as I am.

[Alex]

It's a cake.

[Rod Ryan]

I only care. It's a cake that, like, you would get together with your guys.

[Alex]

I wouldn't really care at all because it's a cake. Dude. Just chop it up. It's not going to be there when you're done with it.

[Rod Ryan]

She's eating her own hips.

[Alex]

There's a cake.

[Mo]

It shouldn't bother.

[Alex]

It's not her hips.

[Mo]

I mean, I don't even like them. I don't care.

[Alex]

I like her more now in better years. Just making you so mad.

[Rod Ryan]

Why is the carpet wet, Todd?

[Mo]

Huh?

[Rod Ryan]

He went to go see the Foo Fighters this weekend.

[Mo]

Yeah, he's the one that sent his picture. I put it in our stories.

[Alex]

He had a cake at Dave. Dave Grohl's torso. He sent me an email of that. It looked hairy.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, reverse the situation. Are you eating a piece of cake of your. Your buddy's body?

[Alex]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Mo]

Fighting over so funny crotch.

[Rod Ryan]

You get Pat a cake this week for.

[Alex]

I want to read Pat's log. I'm cutting off the nipple part. That's my part.

[Rod Ryan]

If I don't see a Pat cake, I'm not gonna buy a cake.

[Alex]

But if somebody gave Pat a cake and it had his. His very robust body, I would absolutely eat.

[Rod Ryan]

I am out of business with your podcast.

[Alex]

If you had a cake and you, I would eat like you too. It's cake, dude.

[Mo]

Those are Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

I took it for cake. Pat. Send a picture. We need a model. We need the shot. You know, we called the cake boss.

[Alex]

Get on it.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. What are you doing in sports over there?

[Alex]

Astros lost the Padres last night 7 to 2. They dropped 2 of 3 against San Diego over the weekend. Tonight they're going to open up a three game series with the Giants on the road. Hayden Wisneski is going to be on the mound for the shows going up against San Francisco's Blade Tidwell. First pitches at 8:45 and you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.

[Mo]

Blade, Blade,

[Alex]

Rock and alternative for Houston.

[Mo]

The Rod ryan Morning shot. 6 to 10am the buzz 94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the buzz. Puddle of mud. Blurry. Welcome to the 9 o' clock hour. We made that appointment with you guys. We've said it about 9, 10. We're gonna give you another. Like it's. I think it's a key word. It's a keyword. Then you're gonna have to text it. This isn't one of those ones. Some, sometimes we do this where you got to enter on the, on the website.

[Mo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

This is going to be a keyword that you're going to get. I don't know what that word is yet, but you're going to have to text it to 200. 200. And that's how you're going to try to win the iHeartradio Music Festival weekend in Vegas. Thousand dollars airfare, transfers, all of that stuff. It's a really, really good trip. And again, we're all going to talk about it a little bit more because it's brand new today. So that's coming up. So sit tight for that. We'll get you that keyword when we can. And closer to around 10 after. I am gonna side. I shouldn't just tell you the story and then make you wait. I'm siding with Shake Shack on this. There's somebody that went viral over the weekend.

[Mo]

Oh, geez.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know if you guys had come across this and it's talking about tipping. So I immediate, like, people will get very frustrated did. And they'll think, I bet you they did do this. The guy at Shake Shack, I think it's like the, the founder, he's been pretty outspoken over the years about, about tipping culture. And he even said, he goes, man, he, they abolished tipping for a little bit over there because he thought it was getting out of hand. So it'd be weird for them to strong arm tipping like this. But of course it happened to somebody. They're filming the whole thing and they just happen to like, say, aha, I got you, you. Here's what happened. Of course it's on the talk. Couple shows up to Shake Shack, they order from the kiosk, they get three shakes. They're like 6 to 6:50, right? They go to checkout, it asks how much you want to tip or they give the option of no tip. At least there is an option of no tip. You ever get rare. Do you ever get that sucker spun around on you? And it's like, there's just like no option for no tip. They selected one of the options, which was no tip.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

A pop up appears and it says, oh, there's been a price update to one or more of your cart items. They think it's directly related to them hitting no tip. And they go back to the cart and they see that all the shapes cakes are 50 cents more. It looks. The optics are horrible on this.

[Mo]

Right.

[Alex]

Did they then try and make another order and see if the same thing happened or did they just use that one instance?

[Rod Ryan]

They used that one instance and they

[Mo]

were recording the whole thing.

[Rod Ryan]

You know how people feel. They. They think they got a gotcha moment here and then people are fuming in the comments. So there's a lot of questions here. I know you guys got them. Okay. Are these updates directly related to tipping? Would it have happened if they did tip? What if they would have just tipped $0.01 or $1?

[Alex]

Why does the price go up all of a sudden?

[Rod Ryan]

Is it a weird software glitch? You're right. You're right. So Shake Shack jumped on it immediately. I like that. You got to hit these things head on. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is not a Shake Shack policy. We are currently looking into it with our. You know, the host that operates the. The location and you know, the software and all of this. And this is a. This is like a. I think it's like an airport location. It looks like it.

[Alex]

So, you know, it's kind of like the wild west. The airports don't really follow.

[Mo]

Yeah, the same rule.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, you're right. And the toothpaste is out of the tube. So like nobody is shocked that when somebody sees this, you immediately think the worst. I do think it was glitchy. Now that sucks. Wait a minute. We had a deal here. I wanted these shakes so they. They're in the wrong. I don't think it's because they didn't tip. But. Yeah, like that can't be. That's not right. Of course. You could just abort the, the, the. The order if you don't want to pay the extra. But it was.

[Alex]

Then you can't use it for cont.

[Rod Ryan]

But it was $0.50 cents more for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that wouldn't make for a fun video. And that wouldn't get them to go viral. They did go viral. And then.

[Alex]

But now they can write it off because it was technically content.

[Rod Ryan]

The automatic. Just like I believe you. I saw it with my own eyes. You're right. This is absolutely. Because you didn't tip. And again, that founder has been really outspoken over the years about tipping. I think it was 2023. He said that coming customers should not. This is the. The founder. He said this guy Specifically said customers should not feel obligated to tip for a simple order. And he was fine with anyone choosing to tip zero. So like I said, I, I can't imagine him specifically who has spoken out against it.

[Mo]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

The receipts are there. He's talked about it. He's not going to do that to customers. Alex doesn't believe me. Bad. Look, if you did, it's content. That's haha. Gotcha. Look at us, we're the victims.

[Alex]

It's one of those things like if it was a glitch that happens a lot, we're gonna see it now because people are gonna be aware of it, everyone's gonna be totaling it. But if in the comments you're like yeah, that exact same thing happened to me then I think that's more of an issue. Whereas this is a one off thing. If we haven't seen another example example of this happening because there's been stuff where it's like if you find the scammy thing, a hundred people are going to want to do that because then they can post their video of it as well.

[Rod Ryan]

So Danny, who sounds cool about outspoken about tipping culture, there had to be a call and say look, get your ass together. This can't even happen. This cannot happen even one more time because then if one video is a glitch, two videos now we're in trouble.

[Mo]

So this better not be a thing thing.

[Rod Ryan]

All right guys, here we go. Keyword all the stuff. Okay? You gotta listen. Here's all the instructions. 945 the buzz good morning. Rob Ryan show. Alex, I know you got your thing coming up. Chili, can I get. Let me look, let me make sure these dates are right. I want to try something. Me not bagging on Gen Z. I want you to come on here and I want you to show me little something. I need Gen Z though. I just need one.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

And not setting you up for failure. I'm not 90. You got to be born between 1997 and 2012. So I will take somebody. I'm going to be strict on this. Not 30, 14 to 29. I need somebody on the phone that knows how to use a phone that could pick up the phone and want wants to talk to me on the radio. You can't text me. You have to talk to me though. I just, I need a Gen Z. I need a bold. I need a bold Gen Z to come on here and say rod, I'm going to show you what this generation is all about. I'm not setting you up for failure, I promise I promise. But I would like, I would like somebody on Chile. 713-212-5945. I wish we could do it over text. I wish we could just snap each other these things. But it does. It doesn't work like that on the radio. So I might not be able to get somebody to call in. But I need a gen zer, a bold gen zer that would say, you know what, Rod, I'll try this out. I'll come on the air with you. All right. 713-212-5945.

[Alex]

Online.

[Rod Ryan]

It's Alex Online 94. 5 the buzz. Good chunk of that Gen Z is in school right now.

[Mo]

Some of them.

[Rod Ryan]

There's a pretty big chunk of them in school. So it might not be as easy as I think to get a Gen Z or on. All right, what are you doing today?

[Alex]

Today the AOL is called Art Atlas and it is a map that shows you every piece of modern art and where it's located right now. Yeah. So like if you want to go look at the Mona Lisa and Louv, you know exactly where that is. But did you know that Andy Warhol has a 4 Mona Lisa's because that's in the Art Institute of Chicago, which I think is from Ferris Bueller's Day off, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

We go there. I don't want to go to France. But you want to go to Chicago and check out the four Mona Lisa's which seems better than one.

[Rod Ryan]

Andy Warhol's got a really cool Campbell's tomato soup game.

[Alex]

What is that called? Do you know the name of that?

[Rod Ryan]

It's like 100 cans of soup or something like that, isn't it? It's in Buffalo.

[Mo]

Just like a.

[Alex]

You can also just search Andy Warhol and then it'll show you everywhere. The location of all of his stuff is, which is a lot in Chicago.

[Rod Ryan]

Yep. He's got the one in the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

[Alex]

He has some in Munich, Germany.

[Mo]

There are some in private residence. Are those also listed?

[Alex]

These are all like public for public display.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I don't think people want to.

[Mo]

Yeah, that's why I'm like, that's no,

[Alex]

people don't want to promote people's address.

[Mo]

Come steal my stuff.

[Rod Ryan]

Here's when I'm home. Here's when I'm not home.

[Alex]

Tim and Fertitta just bought Nandy World. It's. This is his location.

[Mo]

So.

[Alex]

Yeah, but go check it out.

[Rod Ryan]

It's pretty cool.

[Alex]

Go see where all of the major art locations are at the World Famous Ride Ranch show [e-mail] I'll say this.

[Rod Ryan]

Every phone line is ranking so we some Gen Z's. I. I think not working.

[Alex]

Am I right? Hey.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, geez. Thank you for trusting me, but not Alex. Whoever is going to be that bold maverick that comes on with us today. All right, that's coming up in three minutes. Every day is take your radio station to work day. And it kicks off here with the Rod Ryan show, 6 to 10 on 94. 5 the buzz.

[Mo]

94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show on this Monday. I did not have this planned out.

[Mo]

No one knows what you're about to do.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I know. I didn't. I still didn't tell these guys.

[Mo]

Terrifying.

[Rod Ryan]

So we live in this space in our work. We got a guy that bosses us around that uses every cliche in the book. Okay. Radio wizard. So much so he revealed to us he has a list of the things that we bust his balls about where he tries to not use them as much. Did you notice that at the last meeting?

[Alex]

I did notice that.

[Rod Ryan]

He's got them written down on a graph. He's got them like written on a flowchart.

[Alex]

Sure does a pie graph. Well, 60% of it is circle back.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not really using die on this hill anymore. I'm not going to use that one.

[Alex]

And shave off a few strokes.

[Rod Ryan]

Shave a few strokes. Like the guy's never golfed in his life. He's like, oh, we're trying to. We're going to see if we can shave a few strokes off our game. He uses those types of cliches. Yes, but if you're out and about to cut the guy a little slack. You hear these things in the office now. Oh, yeah, but this is my life. I don't think think anybody at Josh Trees machine shop is saying, oh, let's shave a few strokes off our game today, guys. Different kind of strokes. So here's what happened. So I put the call out there. I said, I'd like to talk to Gen Z.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Because I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Corporate lingo is what it's called. Okay. There was a new study that was done and they put 24 common phrases that are used in the workplace. Out of 24, the average Gen Z worker only understood 5.3 of all of these things that are being thrown around.

[Mo]

5.3.

[Rod Ryan]

They understood about 5 of the 24. Okay, okay. These are things that we've all heard a million times. And I can't imagine sitting There and hearing this going, okay, what does he want me to do? What do you mean?

[Alex]

They. They've heard them, but they don't necessarily know what they mean.

[Rod Ryan]

They don't know what it means. Means. They don't know what it means. So then I'm worried I'm talking on the air. I'm like, hey, can we get some Gen Zers on the phone?

[Alex]

And then what's Gen Z?

[Rod Ryan]

Right?

[Mo]

They know I need.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, then I got specific. I said, I need somebody between 14 and 29 years old. I thought we were just gonna talk to one. I got a full bank of calls.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm gonna start with. Is it. Is it Jesus?

[Alex]

It's Adrian.

[Mo]

Adrian.

[Rod Ryan]

You're Adrian. Okay.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. I clicked on Adrian. There you go. Adrian in. Welcome in. How old are you? I'm 25. 25. So nearly two thirds of all the workers understood the phrase I'm about to tell you, huh? Only four out of ten of your generation, Adrian, knew what the guy or girl was talking about when they said, let's hit the ground running. Now, if somebody said to you, let's hit the ground running, would you have any idea what they're talking about? I would say, like, let's get this

[Alex]

show on the road. Hit the ground running. Start 100.

[Rod Ryan]

Gen Z for the win.

[Mo]

Start 100.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, let's go. Gen Z for the win already.

[Mo]

Is that. That was right? The ground running, like when you.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's hit the ground running.

[Mo]

Let's hit the ground when you get out of bed.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's get moving on a project.

[Mo]

Is that what that means?

[Rod Ryan]

Today we're gonna hit the ground running. We're gonna get. We're gonna close this Deal. Deal. Today.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Adrian, you're awesome.

[Mo]

Good job, Adrian.

[Rod Ryan]

Love y'.

[Alex]

All.

[Rod Ryan]

I appreciate you, dude. Yeah, thanks for being Gen Z.

[Mo]

Keep it a hundred. Adrian.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, Cam, I'm here. What's up, Cam? How are you? How old are you? I'm 26.

[Alex]

Doing great.

[Rod Ryan]

You are doing great. Okay, so here we are. We're at work, okay? Me and you in the room, we're working together side by side, two different generations. And then my boss walks in and says, hey, let's take this. Let's put this on the back burner. Let's put this on the back burner, Cam. What? What?

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I would say that means that our

[Alex]

current project or whatever we're doing is going to be set aside and we're going to work on something else for now.

[Rod Ryan]

Gen Z for the win. Gen Z for the Win.

[Alex]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, think we're gonna take this? There's something else that's gonna take priority, but we'll get back to this.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

We'll put it on the back burner.

[Alex]

There we go.

[Rod Ryan]

Dude, you're awesome.

[Mo]

Genius. Kim only.

[Alex]

Thanks, guys. Love you.

[Rod Ryan]

It said. Listen. They got it.

[Alex]

We love you too, buddy, but we

[Rod Ryan]

gotta put our people into these surveys. They said only 30 of gen. Well,

[Alex]

not Rod Ryan listeners. They're smarter. They're higher.

[Rod Ryan]

That's true.

[Alex]

So.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Alex]

It's actually probably skewing it, so the

[Rod Ryan]

guys are killing it. Maybe. Vanessa. Vanessa. Good morning.

[Mo]

She will not let us know.

[Alex]

Pressure.

[Rod Ryan]

Vanessa, how are you? How are you today? I'm good.

[Mo]

How are y' all doing?

[Rod Ryan]

Great. How old are you? 29. 29 only. Oh. Only 15 of Gen Zers could define this and this. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. But let me tell you, our boss uses this all the time, so.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

And it. It confused a lot of workers. Okay. But if my boss said, Vanessa, we need to move the needle. We're trying to find something to move the needle. You've ever heard wizard say that? What's that?

[Mo]

I heard the first two.

[Rod Ryan]

This one moved the needle. I'm guessing, like, we need to move

[Mo]

precise or get things going.

[Rod Ryan]

You're not totally off. Yeah. You're in the right direction. I'm not gonna give you the full bell. I'm gonna give you this bell. Like, move the needle. It isn't. It's an analog phrase to begin with.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

The needle would be. Oh, God, this is old.

[Mo]

Please say it.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a vu needle. Vu. It's a vu needle. And it's like when you go in the red, you're distorted.

[Mo]

Oh, you want to keep it in the middle.

[Rod Ryan]

The green, you want to move the needle.

[Mo]

Uhhuh.

[Rod Ryan]

It's about just getting it a little further.

[Mo]

Got it.

[Rod Ryan]

Getting something down the road. Move the needle. Okay. That one was Vanessa. That was tough. That was tough. You're awesome.

[Mo]

The context of it.

[Rod Ryan]

I gotta. I gotta gas you all up. You're great.

[Mo]

You're good.

[Rod Ryan]

You're great.

[Alex]

You're queen.

[Mo]

Same be you, girl.

[Rod Ryan]

Listen, the fact that you. The fact that you guys are picking up the phone and calling is huge. Efren, good morning. Good morning, sir. Efren, how old are you?

[Alex]

I'm 20.

[Rod Ryan]

19. I love you.

[Mo]

Thank you for listening, and thanks for calling him sir.

[Rod Ryan]

Did he call me sir?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Never call me ma'.

[Alex]

Am.

[Rod Ryan]

I'll kill you, man. Kick that sir. Right out of your face. All right, Efren, Efren, you and me, we're in a meeting, okay? Everyone's around. And then I'm like, maybe I'm running the meeting. I'm like, you know what, Efren? Let's you and let's take this offline. Let's you and I. Let's take this offline. Where do you think I'm going with that? I would say making it more of a private discussion.

[Mo]

Oh, my God, you're so right.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's take it offline.

[Mo]

We're in.

[Rod Ryan]

We're in a room full of people, but we're gonna. Let's go offline with this one.

[Mo]

It seemed like a little hre. Like, are we allowed to be offline?

[Alex]

This the worst thing where you're like to have another meeting with you?

[Mo]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

Way to go, Efren. You're awesome. All right, one more. Okay.

[Mo]

This fun.

[Rod Ryan]

You guys are killing it today. Alexis, good morning.

[Mo]

Good morning.

[Rod Ryan]

How are you?

[Alex]

I'm good.

[Mo]

I'm a little nervous.

[Rod Ryan]

You know what we're doing? It's a human connection right now. It's a human connection.

[Mo]

So you're already winning and you're vibing.

[Rod Ryan]

Your generation has to keep that going. You have to keep the human connection available. Okay? You can't be just text chopped and snapping. Okay, here we are. We're working.

[Mo]

Wait, how old are you, Alexis? I'm 27. 27, okay.

[Rod Ryan]

What would it mean to.

[Mo]

Oh, geez.

[Rod Ryan]

Only 35 of J. Gen Zers understood the term. What would it mean, Alexis? To touch base. What would it mean? Contact. These articles are setting you guys up to fail, and it's not true. You guys are all killing it today.

[Mo]

Why is it called touch base?

[Rod Ryan]

What? Touch base. You'd like to like you touch base. Like, let's have a quick chat. Let's catch up. Let's touch base.

[Mo]

I feel like, to be fair, when you home base, they probably did, like, younger.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, it was people in the workforce. So I can't talk. I can't. I can't run these by, you know, you got 14 to 29. That's your cell of people. So these are people that were in the workforce.

[Mo]

I'm impressed. Are you happy?

[Rod Ryan]

Listen, I love our gen zers. Thank you, everybody. Thank you, Alexis.

[Alex]

Love you guys. Yeah, of course. Love you guys. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Thanks for touching base.

[Alex]

Houston traffic is less angry with a Rod Ryan show.

[Rod Ryan]

Is it on? 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Whipping out the bush and then whipping out the gen zers who kicked ass today.

[Mo]

Thank you for calling. That was really sweet.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mo]

Thanks for helping us out.

[Rod Ryan]

There was a couple more, I. I told you with some of the office jargon, you know, that younger workers, they kind of hear and they're just kind of like. Just kind of flies over their head. They're like, I don't know what the old man's talking about. You know, blah, blah, blah. Back in my day, those type of things. The one thing that was on here that I have no idea. Blue sky thinking.

[Alex]

That's.

[Rod Ryan]

I've never heard that before.

[Alex]

Blue sky was the people who were and didn't want to be on Twitter, so they had to make their own thing. And that's just basically being like, I can only have, like, people that think my way, think this way. That's what I imagine. Imagine that is.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Oh, no. Well, all right. Does this align with what you said, coming up with ambitious or imaginative ideas without worrying about practical constraints?

[Alex]

Yes. Like, what if we had the Internet, but only the way I think is on the Internet? We made that kind of thing, and then we just created echo chamber.

[Mo]

Dream big. Wild ideas.

[Rod Ryan]

Wild.

[Mo]

No limit.

[Rod Ryan]

No ideas. No ideas.

[Alex]

Better way to say it.

[Rod Ryan]

No idea is a bad idea. Let's just spitball. I've been in one of those before.

[Mo]

Blue sky thinking.

[Rod Ryan]

Blue sky thinking. I've not heard that.

[Alex]

Maybe I'm not. I'm only thinking of that blue sky. Like this guy's

[Rod Ryan]

move the needle. Push the envelope was on there. Push the envelope. Challenge. Challenge. The limit.

[Mo]

Don't.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, go. Go to the line.

[Alex]

We would slide the envelope back. Like, no, I think I'm worth this much.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I never knew the genesis of that.

[Alex]

That's what I would imagine it would

[Rod Ryan]

be, but you're probably right.

[Alex]

So, like, oh, no. You think that's what it is. My offer is this.

[Rod Ryan]

Push the envelope. I know what. I know the practicality of it. To push the envelope, to really push hard, to get right to a point where before you. Like where you. Where your normal stopping point is, I think go a little further. But what's in the pipeline?

[Alex]

In the pipeline.

[Rod Ryan]

In the pipeline was another one.

[Alex]

Like, it's in, like, the community and like the. Like, that's in the pipeline of iHeartRadio.

[Rod Ryan]

It's in the pipeline. It's not ready yet.

[Alex]

It's going down the pipeline.

[Rod Ryan]

But it's coming.

[Alex]

We sent it down the pipeline. The boss is going to get it Right now sales, it's going to go to so and so and then it's going to go to this.

[Rod Ryan]

I feel like we're giving wizard ideas of new ones to say, oh, he's

[Alex]

going to hit us up with all of these.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, well, I'm going to start implementing some of those things.

[Alex]

He used blue pipeline a lot.
