He posted on true social Yesterday he said a new cutoff of 8pm tomorrow, threatening in blunt terms that Iran would face severe consequences for keeping the waterway closed.
Rod Ryan
All that.
Mo
The Artemis 2 crew marked Easter Sunday in style. Yesterday they hid dehydrated scrambled eggs around the capsule for a low gravity egg hunt.
Rod Ryan
That's kind of funny.
Mo
It is funny. Today's their big day. NASA will begin live coverage of today's moon flyby at noon today. Around 1:45, their observation period begins. There is a point in this whole or they're behind the moon and they lose contact with mission control for like an hour before reconnecting.

Mo
Thanks. Chili.

There's a lot of different foods. They're set.

Mo
New study has found that a five day work week is a waste of time.
Rod Ryan
Well, well, well. Do tell me about that.
Mo
I will. I'll tell you all about it.
Rod Ryan
Please.
Mo
New research suggests that we don't need to work five days a week. People are more product four day weeks. So it's a study from a nonprofit advocacy group called Four Day Week Global.
Rod Ryan
Okay, okay.
Mo
Employees can accomplish as much in 33 hours a week as they do in 38. So they had companies agree to have their employees participate in a study and they started gradually taking away time that they were working and they were still getting paid the same. They're just taking away time that they're in. The office. Workers that participated in the study became more productive with the hours they were actually on the clock. They found that losing the five hours, which is what they got up to, actually increase their productivity because they knew they had to get stuff done in a smaller amount of time. Workers also reported improvements in burnout, overall health and job satisfaction.
Rod Ryan
Wizard.
Mo
Four days out, but never changed for very fascinating study.
Rod Ryan
Four days.
Mo
Four days.
Rod Ryan
But I've always said I'll work Friday, not Monday.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
If we do go to a four day work week, I like Fridays. Fridays, fun.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
Monday.
Mo
You two dropped a surprise. Oh, no. Let's talk about Tori Spelling first because her and her kids.
Rod Ryan
Oh, my God. This car accident.
Mo
Did you see the car accident? I saw like some clips and she's talking to police. There were seven kids in an SUV with Tori. They were all hospitalized. A car that they were in was hit by a vehicle that was allegedly speeding through a red light. Four of the kids were hers. The other three were Just friends. They were all treated in the hospital and later released. No arrests were made at the scene. Tori's car looked to be in decent shape. The other guy, not the case. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And people are making these celebrities shouldn't drive. Not her fault.
Mo
No, it wasn't her fault.
Rod Ryan
Not her fault at all. She wasn't doing anything she shouldn't have been doing. She had the kids and all that.
Mo
Yeah. Okay, back to you two. Because they dropped a surprise six song EP called Easter Lily they drafted on Good Friday. It's their second new release in less than two months. So the first one was on Ash Wednesday in February. So it's like the front and the back of the Lent season.
Rod Ryan
And these are just little eps.
Mo
Little eps.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo
The first one was War and Global Unrest. This new Easter Lily one is more like exploring themes of friendship and faith and renewal.
Rod Ryan
The Edge sings on one of them. Like he takes lead vocals.
Mo
What do you think about that?
Rod Ryan
I like the Edge's voice. It's interesting. Yeah.

The last time a left handed catcher played in the major leagues was 1989. That is fun. Yeah. Hal's trying to figure that out too. Due to the nature of the throws. Lefty struggle to play catcher. Cuz left handed thrower getting the third base and short stop second. Like left handed catchers turn around. Yeah. It's not a third thing. It is not a thing at all. They all play hockey, I think.

Nuclear.
Mo
Nuclear nail that.
Rod Ryan
Nicholas Kemmer. He suggested the atomic symbol Pu for plutonium. That's neat. Nuclear physicists have a sense of humor. Humor?

That's funny when the guy you're talking to comparing him to admits it. Yeah, but Josh doing crazy things in the morning. He's going to be on with us tomorrow trying to make it win number three. Fresh out of bed, head to head. Texas Hammer game is huge today, alex. It's huge. $100 Willy's Grill and ice house gift card. And then you get qualified for the trip to hang out with Blue October in Cabo San Lucas. We'll tell you all about that. We're going to do that every day for the rest of the month. Okay? All right, Mo, you ready?
Mo
Ready.
Rod Ryan
Got a lot to talk about over there. Houston's headlines, please.
Mo
Thank you. As his latest deadline for Iran to reopen the of Hormuz approaches be a busy week, President Trump turned up his threats over the weekend. He warned of massive strikes on Iran's power plants, bridges, oil facilities if the country doesn't comply or reach a deal. So he posted this all on True Social yesterday, saying he's got a new cutoff and it is 8pm tomorrow. And he threatened in pretty blunt terms that Iran would face severe consequences for keeping the waterway closed. I woke up to the news yesterday and I kind of felt like I wanted to run through a brick wall. The second crew member of the US Fighter jet that was shot down over Iran was rescued by American forces early yesterday.
Rod Ryan
Got him? We got him. We got him back.
Mo
The jets pilot had been rescued on Friday, but the second crew member had remained missing. It was in like a very remote terrain inside Iran. And so we're learning along a lot more about the rescue mission.
Rod Ryan
What do we know about it?
Mo
It was just like the guys that were going in to get them, like we're getting shot at. And the guy, even on Friday when they got the first guy, they're clearly. This is the first time the US has had a fighter jet that's been shot down in enemy combat in more than 20 years.
Rod Ryan
What are you playing, Alex?
Alex
Stressful courtesy. The red, white and blue.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, call in other news.
Mo
Word has it that Chick Fil A fired an entire shift of workers because they posted a tick tock of them performing a choreographed quote, chest bouncing, unquote dance.
Rod Ryan
Do you watch it?
Mo
Hasn't commented. Yes, I watched it.
Rod Ryan
Did they all get. They got canned.
Mo
We don't know if that really happened. They are saying they did and they are saying that it was because of this video.
Rod Ryan
Is it bad?
Mo
It was not silly and cute. It's mainly chest bouncing, if you will to a song that is loaded with profanities like we can't even play it.
Rod Ryan
So Chick Fil A is like, this doesn't represent us.
Mo
The employees were in the store in uniform. The employees are saying it was after they closed. Okay, but still not the best look for Chick Fil A. Again, Chick Fil A hasn't commented.
Alex
You know what Jesus would do?
Mo
What would he do?
Alex
Forgive them. Follow in his footsteps.
Rod Ryan
I mean, you're wearing all of their stuff. You're using their restaurant as your backdrop. They don't feel it represents them. I didn't see the video.
Mo
I could show you now.
Rod Ryan
If you do something great and it goes viral, they'd love it. You get heralded, probably. Oh my God. It started here. Thank you, guys. And it'd be great promotion. Either way. It's gonna be great for promotion for Chick Fil a.
Mo
We're talking about it, right? Yep, we are.
Rod Ryan
And when isn't Chick Fil A open Sunday. What is this song?
Alex
Closed on Sunday.
Mo
Is that really what this song is called?
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
For some reason, the precious people on the news are talking about Kanye west today, so I had to go back and look. So he had two shows in LA over the weekend. He raked in $33 million. Two shows. As you might recall, his career was sidelined by his passion for none Nazis.
Rod Ryan
How is it not still sidelined?
Mo
Well, he did do that apology in the Wall Street Journal. He is clawing his way back to success. The $18 million he gained on the Friday night concert alone made it one of the highest grossing single shows in the history of live music.
Alex
Where was the concert? Argentina, Louisiana. Okay.
Mo
They also said his new album Right now is on track to become one of the best selling albums in its opening week.
Rod Ryan
This guy was selling T shirts with swastikas on them.
Mo
Correct.
Rod Ryan
I, I. What did he say in that apology that was just so like, oh, wow.
Mo
I don't know. It didn't. It was very weird.
Rod Ryan
Wow.
Mo
Okay, so there's a new article out today that said Baby One More Time by Britney Spears was originally sent to tlc.
Rod Ryan
Oh, I heard this.
Alex
What?
Mo
Yeah, it's actually a list of popular songs that were originally meant for someone else, including Bruce Springsteen's Hungry Heart for the Ramones.
Rod Ryan
Bruce wrote that for the Ramones, but they didn't use it. So he did it. Right? He wrote that song.
Mo
I believe he wrote it.
Rod Ryan
Yes. He did.
Mo
Umbrella by Rihanna. We know it. Rihanna sings it.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
It was also offered to Britney Spears and then Mary J. Blige after Britney Spears passed on it.
Rod Ryan
I this song here before I knew that Meghan Trainor was a songwriter.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
I thought she was just a one hit wonder. And I thought, okay, this is the dumbest song I've ever heard.
Mo
She co wrote it, to be fair.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Yes.
Rod Ryan
So she wrote. And they wanted Beyonce to do it. Beyonce's like, no, I'm not doing that. As a matter of fact, Meghan Trainor couldn't find somebody to put this song out there. So she goes, I'll sing it, I'll do it. And then boom.
Mo
Look at her now.
Rod Ryan
We now have Meghan Trainor, which, you know, I think she's pretty comfortable now. Wow.
Mo
This full article blew my mind.
Rod Ryan
That's pretty cool. What people passed on and what people wrote for other people.
Mo
Yeah, those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Take it, Alex.
Alex
In the NBA, the Rockets got a win last night. They got by the Warriors, 117 to 116.

Rod Ryan
You and I have like almost fist fought over carrot cake. What are you doing bringing me carrot cake? Which. Thank you.
Alex
Great.
Rod Ryan
But why are you in possession of carrot cake? Because I think it's the goat of cakes.
Alex
I made a carrot cake yesterday because it was Easter.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
And bunnies have been very hot in my house. House the last week. But bunnies and chickens have been very hot.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
And so I made a carrot cake. I let my daughter help me grind up the. The carrot and I. I didn't love the cake because it's a carrot cake. Frosting is. Is dope. The frosting rocks.
Rod Ryan
The frosting is.
Alex
Crush the frosting.
Rod Ryan
The frosting is an amazing part of the carrot cake.
Alex
But the rest of the cake is like, what ruins the cake. Cake.
Rod Ryan
No.
Alex
I got compliments for it being good yesterday.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
My in laws and had it.
Rod Ryan
I haven't tried it yet.
Alex
They said it was awesome. I tried it and it just. It tastes like carrot cake. Which I can't. I can't do it otherwise, you know, I'll try it.
Rod Ryan
You'll try it?
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
I was like. It was my buddy Rod. So I brought it for you.
Mo
Perfect.
Rod Ryan
Now Mo is eating. Yeah.
Mo
Pierogies.
Rod Ryan
I brought pierogies in.
Mo
Happy Easter.
Rod Ryan
We made them. It was probably five hours. It's a process.
Mo
That is quite a process.
Rod Ryan
It is a process. And then I didn't say it this year. But then when we ended up talking to my mom, she's like, can you believe grandma made those by herself? My grandma's house, the smallest little kitchen you've Ever seen, and no one helped her. My grandma would be in there making hundreds of pierogies by herself. I don't know where she had the counter space. I don't know how she did it. Yeah, I don't know how she did it, but she did it by herself. Yourself. So we only had three of us making the pierogis this year, but it's. It's like an assembly line making these things. And so we made three different kinds. I brought you in. There's the farmer's cheese. I don't know how everybody feels about sauerkraut.
Mo
I skipped the sauerkraut.
Alex
Okay.
Rod Ryan
Sauerkraut is kapusta. Maybe that's not like a 7am thing.
Mo
I might like to try it.
Rod Ryan
But there's the farmer's cheese, and then there's the. The potato, which is like a cheesy mashed potato filling word in there. And then I'm so me like an idiot this morning. It's 4:30 and I'm frying onions in my kitchen. I'm frying on. I'm chopping onions and my. I'm tearing up.
Mo
It's.
Rod Ryan
It's 4:30. Not. No, it's. Are you kidding me? It's 4:00am and I'm frying these before. And I'm frying these things up for you guys.
Mo
I appreciate it.
Rod Ryan
They're a little soft. Like, you gotta. When we make them. Like, I made the dough. We made the dough. Me and my girlfriend in London, we did all the work on these, and London stuffed them and she's working and pinching the edges and doing all of that.
Mo
I can taste the love.
Rod Ryan
London, which one did you try?
Mo
I think I got the farmer's cheese. Yeah, I'm very happy.
Rod Ryan
Did you get the side of Jesus?
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
Okay, here, I got you.
Mo
Get the side of Jesus.
Rod Ryan
Alex, I got you.
Mo
Alex loves a mini Jesus statue.
Rod Ryan
And I got you a side of Jesus.
Alex
Oh, thank you.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
And then I got Jesus chili.
Rod Ryan
I got your Jesus in here. You're gonna need that, but. Yeah, come have a pierogi. So how is it? Is it all right?
Mo
It's amazing.
Rod Ryan
It's different.
Mo
I kind of hope that chili doesn't want one so I can eat another.
Rod Ryan
And then I brought some sour cream on the side.
Mo
I didn't. I tried it without the sour cream just so I could do unbiased. Yeah, it's delicious.
Rod Ryan
And you're having you the farmer's cheese?
Mo
Yes, for sure.
Rod Ryan
How would you describe the cheese? I. I said it was like A mild goat cheese.
Mo
Oh, that's fair.
Rod Ryan
Is that right?
Mo
Yep.
Rod Ryan
It's not a cottage cheese.
Mo
Nope.
Rod Ryan
But I couldn't find anywhere so much I had to go to the Polish. There's a Polish grocery store.
Mo
It tastes authentic.
Rod Ryan
Block.
Mo
Really?
Rod Ryan
Is that blocky in that area off of I10?
Mo
I'm very happy.
Alex
I. I would. I'd say yes.
Rod Ryan
Is there a block?
Alex
Yeah, there is a block that does exist.
Mo
What's the origin of a pierogi?
Rod Ryan
I mean, it's. It's European. It's like the signature dish from Poland.
Mo
I'm here for it. Is that where your grandma learned how to make it from going back?
Rod Ryan
Probably two other grandma. Grandma's great grandma. And then probably great. Great.
Mo
I'm very happy. Thank you for sharing. Happy Easter.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. These old ladies. And then that's the thing. You know how people like back in Buffalo. Today's dingus day. Today's a holiday in Buffalo.
Mo
That's the dingus.
Alex
I was gonna talk about it in trending. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
The world's biggest dingus day celebration goes down.
Mo
I've never heard of that in my entire life.
Rod Ryan
Women chase around men and hit them with willows. You know what a willow is?
Mo
No.
Rod Ryan
Please tell me you've heard of it.
Mo
Never.
Rod Ryan
It's like a thing that grows in the wild. Look up Google pussy willow. You. You go. You cut them down, and then you chase dudes and whack them.
Mo
Why you get off of work for this?
Rod Ryan
Just because there is kind of an Easter Monday thing. Dingus day is like really big. It's a Polish thing that, like, Buffalo adopted and really Americanized it. But what I was saying is the way that people judge crawfish, like, well, mine's better. Well, oh, over here. This guy's better. Pierogies. The old ladies, the old pollocks, they're like, oh, they were so small. There was barely any filling in those because they make them at the church and stuff like that. And then all old ladies do is judge other people's pierogies. And nobody has anything nice to say about any other pierogies other than the ones that they make.
Alex
They.
Rod Ryan
Everyone thinks they make the world's greatest. And they absolutely. Every single pierogi out there is mid compared to the theirs old ladies. They're the worst.
Mo
You'd crush.
Rod Ryan
Funniest. They're the funniest.
Mo
All right, thank you.

Alex
No.
Rod Ryan
When you hear those Texas Hammer commercials, he's like, hey, Ron, what's going on? He doesn't talk like that, but I
Alex

Rod Ryan
I'm gonna hammer him. Oh, so you don't want to hear
Alex

Like he does that and then the band does a full on concert on the beach and it's. They have you. It's not like a section of the resort that's theirs. The whole resort is there and it's all inclusive.
Mo
Yikes.
Rod Ryan
Not everybody can handle all inclusive.
Mo
That's true.
Rod Ryan
I, I'm curious how Alex handled all inclusive on your honeymoon.
Mo
You did make it back recovery.
Rod Ryan
You feel like you got your money's worth at the bar.
Alex
Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, and we had.
Rod Ryan
You can get margaritas. You can get any of that stuff
Alex
on the honeymoon we did. Yeah, pretty much. And they kind of do whatever. But on the honeymoon we paid to get like since it was our honeymoon, you get like a butler, basically. So you got a cell phone and you're like, hey, Carl. We had Carl and Mel and we called the butler and you bet, Carl, can you bring me some Red Stripes down to the pool? And he would just drop off a bucket of Red Stripes.
Rod Ryan
Carl. Jeez, I've never had that.
Alex
I didn't blow him up. Like a lot of people were like,
Rod Ryan
can you bring me French fries at the pool?
Alex
Like I was like, just bring me drinks, dude. I don't really.
Rod Ryan
Wow. Have a problem. So this is an all inclusive situation for You. The guys in Blue October are there. Their families are there. They're hanging out. They're in the pool. I mean, Justin talked about it a little bit, but then afterwards, he's like, dude, we're there, and we just hang out. He was conducting weddings, right? Like, people were renewing their vows, and he married people. People and did the whole thing on the beach. So Cabo San Lucas. Every day, you'll get qualified for the trip.

Alex
Carrot cakes are not really that great.
Rod Ryan
Dude, you gotta get on board. He made carrot cake, and he's given me some. So much crap. We have had cake wars on this show. What's the greatest cake? It's the most moist cake.
Alex
That's me walking a mile in someone else's shoes. I literally did that, and I'm still like, this cake is not good cake.
Rod Ryan
It's delicious.
Mo
So much.
Rod Ryan
It's moist, spicy.
Alex
There's ginger in it. There's all kinds of just. It doesn't make sense. That's not what I want as a dessert.
Rod Ryan
It's a wonderful cake. That's what the icing rocks.
Alex
Hard to go wrong with creepy cream cheese icing.
Rod Ryan
The cream cheese icing, it's the best cream cheese powder.
Alex
Not only is it vanilla extract. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Not only is it the best cake, it's got the best icing.
Mo
I agree with icing.
Rod Ryan
Here comes chili.
Mo

There was the farmer's cheese.

Rod Ryan
The potato, which are cheesy mashed potatoes, basically.

Rod Ryan
And then the kapusta, which is the sauerkraut. Those are the three choices. What was. What was your favorite potato? Was my favorite potato.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
I mean, what's not to like about cheesy mashed potatoes?
Mo
Potato cheese, and they were, like. Just peppery, like, perfection.
Rod Ryan
Perfect.
Alex
It's perfect.

Rod Ryan
There's butter in everything.
Mo
So good.
Rod Ryan
I mean, like, this morning, even, like, frying you up the. The pierogies in butter. You know, I've done a good job of, like, kind of in my personal life using olive oil, a little butter.
Mo
You licked it clean. It is gone.
Rod Ryan
Chili ate, too. Chili ate.
Mo

Mo
It was my second favorite.
Rod Ryan
You like the cabbage? Oh, yeah. Sauerkraut, right? Or whatever y' all call it. Sauerkraut. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, dude, it was. I think pierogis might be the tacos of. Of the English people grow. But it's kind of like Alex said, a pierogi. Like an empanada.
Alex
A Polish empanada.

So we got a lot of tickets coming your way. A lot of things I want to talk about in the 8 o' clock hour that are not food related, believe it or not. Like I've non food things to talk about. Sorry we have to move on. We have to talk about other things here. 10% chance of rain, partly cloudy skies, highs of around 75 today. A well fed MO with Houston's headlines.
Mo
What you got Happy? Thank you. President Trump turned up his threats over the weekend. He set a deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. And as that approached, he warned of massive strikes on iron Iran's power plants, bridges and oil facilities if the country did not comply or reach a deal. He posted on Truth Social yesterday, setting a new cutoff of 8pm tomorrow, threatening in blunt terms that Iran would face severe consequences for keeping the waterway closed.
Rod Ryan
There's Alex with that. Iran still place undefeated.
Mo
The Artemis 2 crew marked Easter Sunday in style yesterday, hiding dehydration, hydrated scrambled eggs around their capsule for a low gravity egg hunt. It was cute.
Rod Ryan
It's fun. It's very fun.
Mo
Nessa's gonna begin live coverage of today's Moon flyby. The coverage will start at noon today. Around 1:45 is when the observation period begins. 6:05 looks like the major like closest point. But I do see that there's one point in the schedule when they're behind the moon that the astronauts are going to lose contact with mission control here in human Houston. And it's scheduled for over an hour, which makes me like feel unsettled, but I'm locked in. It's going to be awesome.
Rod Ryan
There's 189 different food items that they took on the Artemis. They're eating well up there. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mo
Ten days.
Rod Ryan
Barbecue brisket, Mac and cheese, mango salad, desserts like cookies, cobbler.
Alex
Look at how many countries they could have fed.
Rod Ryan
All prepared. You're so to be shelf stable, crumb free. Oh, and easy to eat in their microgravity tortillas. They brought 58 tortillas. Chili. Just so I knew he was going to ask.
Mo
How many days?
Rod Ryan
58 tortillas.
Mo
Four of them.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. So yeah, the food blog page. You want to, want to see what our astronauts avoiding talking about food. I know, I'm sorry. Well, no, I said next hour. No food talk in the 8 o' clock hour.
Mo
Hey. A new study has found that the five day work week is a waste of time.
Rod Ryan
Now we're talking.
Mo
Okay, so the study was done by this nonprofit advocacy group called Four Day Week Global. But it seems like they really did it. Okay. So they went out to companies and they asked them to give employees this opportunity to accomplish as much in 33 hours a week as they do in the normal 38.
Rod Ryan
They weren't going to fail that mission.
Mo
Cutting back, cutting back, cutting back time. And they found that people are more productive during four day weeks.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so let's just say your job comes to you and says, hey, we're going to try something for a month. We're going to see if we can get as much work done in four days as we do in five days.
Mo
And if you succeed, you're going to
Rod Ryan
be working your balls off in those four days. But is it sustainable?
Mo
But don't you find that we do that like if it's a holiday and we know that we have, you know, to really crank stuff out in four days.
Rod Ryan
If we have a week off, we
Alex
have to work like two weeks worth of work one week off.
Rod Ryan
I just don't think people are going to work harder for longer. Meaning.
Mo
I get it.
Rod Ryan
In the long term we're going to prove to you. Look at all we're Getting done in four days and you're going to be a month. You're going to be awesome at it. In the long run though, you're going
Mo
to be looking for a three day week.
Rod Ryan
It's a whole day missing of productivity. And I just don't think people have a motor like that.
Alex
Not everybody.
Rod Ryan
But I think in the short term, I bet you can make it look like it works.
Mo
It's something to think about.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Checking in on Tori Spelling. Tori and seven kids were hospitalized. Their car was hit by a vehicle that was allegedly speeding through a red light in la. Four kids rehearsed, three were their friends. They were all treated for bruises, concussions and released from the hospital that night. Tori's car looked to be in decent shape. Not the case for the other guy. It was crumbled.
Rod Ryan
Really.
Mo
Yeah. Glad everyone's okay. You two dropped a surprise six song EP called Easter Lily. They sent it out on Good Friday. Kind of weird because it's the second one they did in two months. Less than two months. They put out days of ash on Ash Wednesday. Easter Lily on Good Friday. So they book into the Lent season.
Rod Ryan
I can tell you that's 40 days. Yeah, because that's when I stopped drinking coffee. YouTube releases 40.
Mo
40 days.
Rod Ryan
40 days between releases and 40 nights.
Mo
It's like I've heard of that before. Yeah, YouTube. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
All right, this one's called what movie?
Mo
Easter Lily.
Rod Ryan
Easter Lily. All right. Hey, there's Alex in the NBA. The Rockets got a win last night.
Alex
They got by the Warriors 117, 1:16. Operation Goon hit the game winner with 11 seconds left. Kevin Durant had the 31 points tonight to lead all players and scoring Rockets have now won six in a row in college hoops. The UCLA Lady Bruins are national champions for the first time ever. They blew out South Carolina 79 to 51 in the women's national championship game yesterday. Tonight, Michigan is going to play UConn in the men's national championship game in Indianapolis. Michigan's a 7 1/2 point favorite in that game. Tip off is going to be at 750 and you can watch it on TBS and True TV in baseball, the Astros fell to the A's in extra innings yesterday, 12 to 10. They lost two of three against the A's over the weekend. Tonight they're going to open up a three game series with the Rockies on the road. Cody Bolton will be on the mound for the Strobes going up against Colorado's Ryan Feltner. First pitch is at 7:40 and you can listen to that game over on our sister station sports talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.
Rod Ryan
They brought 43 cups of coffee with them. Oh, eight days. Four.
Alex
Four people.
Mo
Ten days. Ten days, huh?
Rod Ryan
Okay, four cups a day.

Rod Ryan
And I don't hear the end of it. He's like, hey man, why you making me do more work? It's called six picks. You came up with this dumb thing and if I have an extra pick in there, he loses his mind.
Mo
I also made him add an extra one this morning so he. And he never said anything about that either.

Rod Ryan
Don't know who that is.
Alex
Arnold Schwarzenegger's son won the Iron Gladiator Classic over the weekend. Which is the highest, like the top amateur bodybuilder prize. So he got his pro card.
Rod Ryan
All right. Can I say it like he's the illegitimate child? He's the one he had with the. With the nanny. The nanny or like the housemaid, whatever, something. And he looks like more of a Schwarzenegger than all the other Schwarzeneggers. That helps his face, though. He looks just like his dad.
Alex
He's got a cool mustache.
Rod Ryan
He looks more like his dad than the other kids. That came from Maria Shriver. She's got strong genes like that jaw. I kill for that jaw. So she was. She's heavy on those kids. Maria Shriver this One, this kid looks exactly like a young Arnold Schwarzenegger. And he.
Alex
And the bodybuilder helps and bodybuilding wise, too, also looks like a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, which is why he dominates. Imagine, just like training all year and knowing that Arnold Schwarzenegger's son is what I'm going in with. I don't.
Rod Ryan
I don't have a chance. Yeah, he's gonna smoke me. Like, oh, okay.
Alex
He did.

Rod Ryan
Okay. I want to talk about a radio station that was made for famous on television. That maybe. And I got to be careful what I say because I don't know who owns it. I don't think it's our company. I don't. Maybe it is. But a radio station that was made famous on a television show is actually going to be a real radio station in that city for the very first time ever. I'll explain everything. We don't need your attitude. We have one of our own, the Rod ryan show on 94.
Mo
5 the buzz.
Rod Ryan
94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. It's breaking Benjamin. It's so cold. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Who's on the phone?

Mo
Hi, Amber.

Hi, Amber. You're caller number 10.
Mo
Hey, girl.
Rod Ryan
Let's go hook Amber up with some great tickets.
Mo
Amber, Black Rose, Whiskey Meers. It's their Southern hospitality tour. It's August 8th in the Woodlands. Everybody else, tickets on sale, Ticketmaster.com.
Rod Ryan
wonderful. Thank you. Make fun Monday. Oh, it's so awesome. I know you're not supposed to ask a girl this.
Mo
What?
Rod Ryan
Amber, what year were you born? 82. Damn it.
Mo
What?
Rod Ryan
Well, because I gotta pick and choose what I talk about on this show, you know, I don't want to talk about stuff that's too old. This television show I'm about to talk about went off the air the year Amber was born. Okay.
Mo
All right. Let's try it.
Rod Ryan
I'll make it quick.
Mo
Let's try.
Rod Ryan
I'll make it quick. Amber, hang on for me. Okay. Congratulations.
Mo
Okay.
Alex
Thank you.
Rod Ryan
Me, too. You look great. I can't see her. It's the phone. I'm sure you look great. I'm sure of it. All right, if I play you this little piece of music? Have you ever heard this before, baby? If you ever wondered, wondered whatever became of me I'm living on the air in Cincinnati. Cincinnati. Wkrp anything. WKRP in Cincinnati? Yeah, the name of the song, WKRP in Cincinnati.
Alex
But wkr, they dropped a turkey.
Rod Ryan
Okay, the most famous episode of this television show. And again, Amber was born in 1982. That was the last, last season of WKRP in Cincinnati is a classic sitcom, 78 to 82. The radio station, it was based around a radio station, WKRP in Cincinnati. There was a couple of guys on the air and then the most famous thing that came out of that was they did a radio promotion and they were throwing turkeys out of a helicopter and they didn't know. And the line is, as God as my eyewitness, I thought turkeys could fly. And these turkeys are splatting all over them. It's. It probably is the most famous episode. So there was never the call letters WKRP in Cincinnati. But those call letters have appeared before on radio stations. Okay. There's a guy that runs a non profit and he has the call letters for a low power station in North Carolina. He's had it since 2015. Before that, they had been used. Some station in Texas had it for a while. I mean, you have like, you know, KTBZ is us, BZ Buzz. Your call letters usually reflect what your station moniker is. You know, wkrp, to my knowledge, was Red Random for the television show. Those call letters were used in Texas, Georgia and Tennessee over the years. But the guy that has it has made a deal and he's selling it to someone who's finally going to use it for a radio station in Cincinnati.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
So for the first time ever, there will be a WKRP in Cincinnati. But I could be talking about the competition right now. We don't know who bought it. Yeah. He claims that he's not allowed Cincinnati wkrp. He says, quote, I cannot by contract tell you when. I can't tell you who, but I can tell you direct to the camera. WKRP, after 48 years, is coming to Cincinnati. It will be radio, he said. That's all I can tell you right now.
Mo
I see in Cincinnati we have several iHeart Media radio stations.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, right.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. You ever been to Cincinnati?
Mo
Yes, I'm from Indiana.
Rod Ryan
It's Kentucky.
Mo
Correct.
Rod Ryan
Cincinnati is Kentucky.
Mo
It's fun to go to Reds games.
Rod Ryan
It's right there. It's Kentucky Bridge A bridge. And you're in Kentucky.
Alex
I'm just trying to class up Kentucky a little bit.
Mo
But you would think because Ohio's worse.
Alex
It's like Kentucky without the cuz.
Mo
Ohio is horrible.
Rod Ryan
But that's the code. You think it's in Ohio, that it's north? It's Kentucky. Yeah. It's a Southern city. It's super Southern.
Alex
Isn't that weird they have skyline chili.
Mo
They do.
Alex
It's gross.
Mo
They put chocolate in it.
Alex
And cinnamon.
Rod Ryan
Yes. We talked about oak. You talking about food?
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Oh, crap.
Alex
Right, Right.
Rod Ryan
Oh, you're talking about food.
Alex
If I had to name like five, five things about Cincinnati, that would be like one of the first. So you don't know very much.
Rod Ryan
You don't know the show. It only had a short run. It just. It doesn't seem like it's one of those rerun type shows that's on all the time.
Mo
What do you think they're doing with it? It's some radio nerd guy that just wants to like on the show.
Rod Ryan
I don't know.
Alex
I don't know exactly that.
Rod Ryan
I don't know what they're gonna do unless it's some. Hopefully our company bought it, but I don't think we're buying things if they didn't buy this.
Alex
Well, we buy it.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, I think we're selling things. I don't think we're buying right now. So there's a WKRP coming to Cincinnati. Very exciting.
Mo

Rod Ryan
It is a joke band.
Alex
They are joke band, but they're good
Rod Ryan
at what they do.
Alex
A really good joke there.
Mo
Well, so is that one guy that readed all the songs.
Alex
Like, was it like Pantera was kind of a joke band, right? No, was the other band that was
Rod Ryan
like, Pantera was not.
Mo
I'm thinking of the guy that did the parody songs. Weird Al.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, weird.
Mo
That was a joke. But you knew what he was good at.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Mo
So, okay.
Rod Ryan
Something like that, but a rock version of that. After the assassination attempt where President Trump got. Remember that? Winged his ear in Pennsylvania.
Mo
Uhhuh.
Rod Ryan
They were out on tour and Kyle said something like, to the effect of, we wish that the bullet would have gone. You know?
Mo
Right. Okay.
Rod Ryan
He was wishing the shooter was successful.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
Jack Black's like, what are you doing, dude? Cancels the tour, Cancels the tour and the band kind of gets canceled.
Alex
Oh.
Rod Ryan
Jack Black, though, comes out completely clean on this thing. He separates himself from Kyle and says there's not going to be a reunion. And that's the story on the music blog page today. Kyle, meanwhile, who. Who made the comments? And again, these were comments that were made. I didn't cancel them. Jack Black said, we're shutting down the tour. He shut it down immediately and kind of separated himself. He goes, I didn't say that. My partner did. I didn't say that.
Alex
Two's coming out. I gotta get. I gotta get that money.
Rod Ryan
One guy's got a huge movie career, the other one doesn't. The guy. Guy that said the thing doesn't have the movie career. So Jack, like, kind of separates himself. Kyle in January said, we're getting back together. It's going to be bigger than Oasis. Jack Black just said we have zero plans. Oh, we have zero plans on getting back together. So I don't think.
Mo
Oh, that's so awkward.
Rod Ryan
I don't they're best friends. Oh, that's so awkward. And they're best friends, like, still. I don't know. I don't know. Jack Black has said there is nothing in the works right now for a Tenacious D reunion. I don't. Too soon. Too soon, probably.
Alex
Too soon, probably. I meant Steel Panther, not Pantera.
Rod Ryan
Oh, Steel Panther.
Alex
They're a chokey band. That's kind of what Tenacious D is, where they have the skill set to do the stuff, but it's kind of jokey material that they do.
Rod Ryan
That band, Steel Panther has morphed into a band that kind of. Of wants to be taken seriously now.
Alex
But initially they weren't.
Rod Ryan
Same thing with that. Same thing with that wrestler was in that band, fy. It was a joke at first, and then all of a sudden they're like, hey, Chris Jericho. Hey, I kind of want to be taken serious. I want to be played on the radio. It's like, wait a minute. This was a joke when you started.
Alex
This is a joke to get us to watch you. And now you're like, wait, hold on.
Rod Ryan
I went to. I never saw Steel Panther live until. Whenever they played last. A year and a half ago, Right?
Alex
Okay.
Rod Ryan
I thought they were going to be just doing Poison covers and, like, hair metal covers. They do all.
Alex
The Motley Crew Mad.
Rod Ryan
They do all their own songs now. They don't want to be a cover band. They do now. The songs are funny. I thought they were funny. Not everybody thought they were funny in the group that I was in, but I thought they were funny. And, yeah, they don't do. They're not a jokey. Well, they're still kind of a jokey band, but, yeah, today's just D. You
Alex
can't say they're not a jokey band.
Rod Ryan
They are a jokey band. 100%. Yeah. But, yeah, they get Dave Gro to play drums for them.
Mo
Secretly.
Rod Ryan
Secretly and not so secretly.
Alex
Video. He's at the video.
Rod Ryan
Oh.
Mo
What?
Rod Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So right now, did anybody see snl?
Alex
I did not. No. I was pretty busy.
Rod Ryan
You're the biggest Jack White.
Alex
I. I'll watch it.
Rod Ryan
You're the biggest Jack White fan I know. Yeah, I thought for sure you would have watched.
Alex
Well, I mean, I was pretty busy Saturday.
Rod Ryan
Gotcha. You were busy making carrot cake. We're not talking about food. I'm just saying carrot cake. Rock, dude. All right, music blog page today. Lots of music stories to get caught up on. Houston's Rock, Houston's Alternative All Day and
Alex
the Rod ryan Morning Show.
Rod Ryan
945 the buzz 945 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Thank you so much for rolling with us this morning in the fourth and final hour that we have with you. I've got jet tickets for you. They're playing the House of Blues. Mo will be talking about it, giving away tickets early in the 9 o' clock hour. We're gonna leave you today with Motley Crue tickets. They're playing the woodlands on September 11th with Tesla and Extreme. So still some great concert tickets coming your way. A bunch of things that I want to talk about and get into. If you haven't checked out Moe's six picks yet, you kidding me? I'm tired thinking, thinking about all those things that you're doing in those pictures. What a weekend.
Mo
It's a good one.
Rod Ryan
What a beautiful weekend with the fam. Most six picks on links and guests. It's Milk Monday, the food blog page. A lot of music stories today. Most going to talk about something coming up. 10 Chance of rain, partly cloudy, high of 75. There she is with Houston's headlines.
Mo
Good morning, Rod.
Rod Ryan
Good morning, everybody.
Mo
So as his latest deadline for Iran to reopen the Straight of Hormuz, it did approach and President Trump decided to turn up his threats over the weekend.
Rod Ryan
He did it on Easter Sunday. Right. Like the tweet that you're. Well, it's not even a tweet.
Mo
Truth social post.
Rod Ryan
So is that, is that what it's called, a truth social post? It's not like a truthy. A truthy send out a truth in the truth.
Mo
Bombs, probably.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
He warned of massive strikes on Iran's power plants, bridges and oil facilities if they didn't complete, fly or reach a deal. He said a new cutoff of 8pm tomorrow, threatening in blunt terms that Iran would face severe consequences for keeping the waterway closed. When I woke up the other day to news that they had found that second crew member from the US Fighter jet that was shot down, I wanted to run through a brick wall.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
I was like, thank God.
Rod Ryan
Great news.
Mo
If you don't remember or didn't hear, a US Fighter jet was shot down over Iran. Iran. And they rescued the second guy. American forces did early yesterday. So the jets pilot had been rescued. On Friday, the second crew member was missing in a very remote terrain inside Iran. And we're learning a lot more details about the rescue mission. It was not easy. Everyone's getting shot at. The downing of this jet marks the first time a US Fighter jet had been shot down in enemy combat in more than 20 years. Pretty crazy.
Rod Ryan
Crazy.
Mo
Let's talk about Chick Fil A. Let's talk about food.
Rod Ryan
Well, this isn't really food. It just took place at a Chick Fil A.
Mo
Good.
Rod Ryan
So like a viral video?
Mo
Yeah. They were shooting a tick tock and apparently the. The rumor is Chick Fil A fired an entire shift of workers. The workers had shot and posted a tick tock of them performing a choreographed quote, chest bouncing dance, unquote.
Rod Ryan
Did you watch the video?
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
So it's still out there?
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
Is it a fireable video?
Mo
It's. The song is loaded with profanity.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so that doesn't represent Chick Fil A.
Mo
They're doing chest bouncing moves, if you know what I'm saying.
Rod Ryan
Can. Can I stop you there?
Mo
Yes, go ahead.
Rod Ryan
When girls dance, they're brave breasts move with them.
Mo
Correct. This is more.
Rod Ryan
This is for the purposes of purposes.
Mo
Purpose of chest bouncing.
Rod Ryan
Getting their bits bouncing.
Mo
The employees were in a store and in uniform. The employees claim it was done after they closed. Chick Fil A has not formally commented.
Rod Ryan
And they got canned.
Mo
All of them. Allegedly. For some reason, the precious people on the news are being forced to talk about Kanye west this morning. And I had to look for further into it. He had two shows in LA over the weekend and he racked in $33 million over the two shows. The Friday night show was more than 18 million, making it one of the highest grossing single shows in the history of live music ever. Bloomberg put out these numbers and they also pointed out that his new album called Bully is on track to become one of the best selling album albums in its opening week ever. We canceled him.
Rod Ryan
No, you didn't.
Mo
Apparently not.
Rod Ryan
That's a lot. The monitor. Ridiculous.
Mo
Breaking.
Rod Ryan
I don't know.
Mo
He did pull out a full Wall Street Journal apology recently.
Alex
Years risen.
Mo
I didn't say that.
Rod Ryan
Yay.
Alex
It says ye is better for the alliteration.
Rod Ryan
I got you. All right.
Mo
Oh, my word.
Rod Ryan
So there's. Now there's a huge festival that he's on.
Mo
Yes. He's headlining it in Europe.
Rod Ryan
And I know Pepsi Cola was one of the big sponsors. They pulled their money.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And then somebody else pulled money from this British music festival. Kanye was added to the bill. They had two huge major sponsors, which you need to pull off a festival this size, guys. And they're thinking that it's going to collapse the show because of hiring Kanye. So not everybody has welcomed Kanye back. Oh, that's the end of that. It was not a good song.
Alex
All right.
Mo
It made sense the very last Story we got to talk about was an amazing list. I found Rod. Found it, actually. Papa Go songs that were originally offered to someone else. And they are cracking me up.
Rod Ryan
But it's like when you talk about an. An actor that was up for a role.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
Tom Selleck, Magnum P.I. another old reference. Sorry. Blue Bloods. Tom Selleck. He was up for Indiana Jones and he couldn't get out of his Magnum PI Contract. And then.
Mo
And then we got different. It would be.
Rod Ryan
And then we got stuck with Indiana Jones, who we know. You know, you can't picture it any other way. So these songs were written for somebody else. Right. But it wasn't intended for her.
Mo
No, it's meant for tlc, which just really. I don't know. It's not the same. I'm sure they would have crushed it.
Rod Ryan
TLC would have crushed the song.
Mo
Would have been really different made.
Rod Ryan
Britney. Britney, yes.
Mo
The back handsprings, the outfit.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
The other one that got me was Rihanna's umbrella was offered to Britney Spears. First she passed on it, then Mary J. Blige passed on it before Rihanna caught it.
Rod Ryan
Could you hear Beyonce doing all about the bass? Or is that too silly for her?
Mo
It seems so weird.
Rod Ryan
It's a silly song, right? But she's got the bass.
Mo
Meghan Trainor co wrote it, offered it to other artists, including Beyonce. Everyone else passed on it.
Rod Ryan
Nobody wanted it.
Mo
And Megan did it herself.
Rod Ryan
She's like, I'm gonna have to do this myself. And she put the song out there.
Mo
Such an interesting article.
Rod Ryan
It's really cool. There's a lot of songs all the way back to the Beatles.
Mo
It's on the music blog page.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, there's a Tom Jones song that, like. There's a Beatles song that was written for Tom Jones. He didn't want to do it. So like Paul McCartney says, all right, I'll put it out. He wrote it.
Mo
Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
All right, when you get to the college stuff, I'm gonna play some audio. Okay, but what do you got? You're gonna talk Rockets first. Yeah.
Alex
And the NBA Rockets got a win last night. They got by the Warriors, 117 to 116. Alperin Shangoon hit the game winner with 11 seconds left. And Kevin Durant had 31 points the night to lead all players in scoring. Rockets have now won six straight in college hoops.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so we've got some audio here. The girls first, Right? Okay, so. And for the first time since 1978, UCLA is back on top of the women's Basketball world. The Bruins have captured their very first NCAA National Championship. I like those calls.
Alex
Yeah, Fun. Pretty cool.
Rod Ryan
The screaming in the background. All of it. So that's what happened with the gals and the guys are playing tonight, right?
Alex
Yes.
Rod Ryan
Okay. So getting us there. And it's over. UConn, all they do is win. The Huskies are on to the national championship game. They defeat Illinois and that will do it. It's a Michigan masterpiece. The Wolverines advance to the national championship game with a lopsided win over Arizona. It is Michigan and Yukon playing for the national title on Monday night. What time's that game tonight?
Alex
That game will be at 7:50 and you can watch on TBS and shoot TV.
Rod Ryan
I apologize, I don't know all the names. Those guys all did good on the calls. Yeah, they were all really great calls.
Alex
Great job. And then in baseball, Astros thought of the A's and extra innings. Yes. Yesterday, 12 to 10. They lost two of three against the A's over the weekend. Tonight they're gonna open up a three game series with the Rockies on the road. Cold Bolton will be on the mound for the Strobes going up against Colorado's Ryan Feltner. First pitch is at 7:40 and you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative all day and the Rod ryan Morning Show.
Mo
94. 5 the Buzz.
Rod Ryan
94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. It's three days grace and just like you. Good morning. Always hoping that you're off to a great start to your day. Thank you for rolling with us this morning. Mo, sitting on some Jet tickets. She's going to give you those coming up in just a little bit. Hope everybody had a great Easter. Mo, you look like you had a great weekend.
Mo
Thank you.
Rod Ryan
You too. Yeah.
Mo
We did pierogies.
Rod Ryan
We did the pierogies. Did the, did the. The fish. Fried crawfish boil on Friday. Got to drink my coffee. Several people have asked, dude, what was it like drinking coffee? First time after 40 days. I mean, I'm not a hero. I don't want to call myself a hero. You know, I'm not comfortable being called a hero. But I did go 40 days without coffee. It's possible, people. I haven't been drinking it as long as some of you, but since the pandemic, it's pretty. I've five years, easily five, six years. Right. I've been drinking coffee now. So. It was glorious. It was phenomenal. It's Wonderful. I haven't had a cup yet since, though, like today I.
Mo
You didn't go for it this morning?
Rod Ryan
Not this morning. Yeah. But I usually. I get one, like, in the middle of the show, and I have. It's just. I'm out of. I'm out of sync. Practice the changing of the guard at my house. London made the butter lamb under my guidance. I was like Yoda, and she was like young Skywalker making the butter lamb. But she made the butter lamb. I'll have to put something up so you can kind of see it.
Mo
Can you please?
Rod Ryan
Most people kind of heard me talk over the years. A lamb. It's not that crazy. Lamb is a. Is a symbol of Easter. Kind of like Jesus, the Lamb of God. It's. It goes like, with the Catholic church and all of that stuff. We also. Last year we made a lamb cake. I didn't make that this year. I did make a bunny cake. Just bunnies were very hot this year, right?
Alex
Very hot.
Rod Ryan
There's a lamb cake that. It's a mold that we have.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
I bought an updated one. My sister's got. My mom's old one. There's a bakery in Detroit. And I got little. A link up to this thing if you want to see the horror. This kit they put out a picture of. And the. The Internet's gone nuts on this thing. They posted a lamb cake straight out of a horror movie. And it's just. It's a lamb's head. It's like a lamb sitting. And it's a 3D cake. It doesn't lay down like a cake. It sits on the plate and it's like a lamb sitting there like the butter lamb. And this lamp, it's got it. Like I said, it looks like a horror movie. It's got bulging eyes and crooked teeth and sloppy and droopy frog. Looks like it was left in a car or something like that. So the Internet comments are so great on this thing. And you can see it. Like I said, chili put it up on links and guests today. It turned out to be an April Fool's joke. And they re. They revealed like, hey, this is just kind of a joke. And they put out that they can make a really nice lamb cake. People want the April Fool's version and they're gonna. And they're gonna make it available next year. Some of these lamb cakes are horrific looking. Mine last year looked bad. That's probably why I didn't make it this year. It didn't come out. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't even sit on the plate. I had to, like, lay mine down. Mine wasn't that cool. 3D lamb sitting. It just. It didn't make it. It was just dead kind of laying there like it's been shot or something. Something. But they say that the creepy Lamb was such a hit. Creepy Lamb is going to be available next year at this bakery. You can get it shipped. So if you want to go.
Mo
Oh, yeah.
Rod Ryan
If you want to go see it, Chili has it for you on links and guest today. Hoping you guys all had a great Easter weekend. Mo, let's get back to some tickets. What do you got?
Mo

Mo
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rod Ryan
You're listening to the Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz. These are, like, British fellas. Very funny. And we just did a bunch of different things where they cut a bunch for me, and at one point they stopped in the middle. Like, who the f Is this Rod Ryan show guy? What? Who is this guy? Just after the break. After the break, pull them up because they're funny. There's a bunch of them. And you can. You can almost hear them getting tired after each one. Like, okay, enough with this Rod guy.
Alex

Rod Ryan
Fill in the blanks.
Alex
They run through them. And you're right. Well, thank you so much for your time.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. All right. I think this is the one at
Alex
the end of it.
Rod Ryan
Okay. This is. He had already cut me, like, six or seven of them. Good morning. This is Nick from Jet, and you're listening to the Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the Buzz. Rod Ryan is a prima donna in here. Is this guy Rod. He had to cut, like, nine of them. And the band's like, who is this guy? Why am I cutting all these things for this Rod Ryan guy? All right, we're gonna have Jet tickets for you all week. That's funny. I'm glad those are still in there.
Alex

Rod Ryan
It's Alex online. 94. 5 the Muzz. Funny to hear Travis laughing.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Shout out TBG. All right, what are you doing today?
Alex
Today's AOL is unwrapped snacks. And you're gonna see how many snacks you can name when you do not have the packaging to look at.
Rod Ryan
Oh, isn't she freakishly good at something? Oh, she did the brand logos pretty
Alex
well on these when I ran through it. But what are these? Mo. What are these?
Mo
Gushers?
Alex
These are gushers.
Rod Ryan
Gush. I wouldn't have guessed on a piece of paper.
Alex
Those are Pringles. So don't run through all of them. Make some other people cheese it. Okay, so there's three answers you have right there.
Mo
This girl, no snacks.
Alex
But, yeah, they've just taken all the Stuff out of the packaging, and they're gonna see how well you really know your snacks.
Rod Ryan
So we're back to talking about food.
Alex
Back to, well, we did already. So, you know, why not go back to the well? All right, go check it out. See if you can name these unwrapped snacks at the world famous Rod Ryan Show.
Mo
Page the buzz.com the Rod Ryan show on 94.
Rod Ryan
5 the Buzz Radio Service. 94. 5 the Buzz Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Thank you so much. Mo still got Motley Crew tickets for mother show?
Mo
Yes, I do.
Rod Ryan
All right, so Chili and Mo collabed to put those on the end of the show today. So before we get out of here, Motley Crue, Tesla Extreme tickets could be yours. There's a gas station. There's at least one in the country charging $9.99 cents for gas.
Mo
Oh, my.
Rod Ryan
They don't have another digit on the gas pump.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
At this gas station, it's in California, as you can imagine. So, I mean, there's a specific reason this place in California. Right now, the national Average for gas is 408 a gallon. Statewide in California, it's 589. I put premium in my car. It was 5 bucks a gallon. Nasty. Gas prices are sky high. This California station specifically charging 999 a gallon for premium. The owner says, if I could charge more, I would. I'm limited by the number of digits on the pump. This sounds like a fake news story, but the reason behind it, the station. Station. The gas station is located in Big Sur.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
So it's a remote area along the coast. There isn't room for much along the roads in that area. So the station itself, they don't have electricity. It's run on generators, and it's only like, I guess. I guess partial gouging. One driver said they could probably charge 20 bucks. If you got to get gas, you got to get gas. They're in such a remote location. They have a sign. Cleanup at their gas station says the closest gas is 40 miles away to the north and 12 miles away to the south.
Mo
Just so you know.
Rod Ryan
So if they could charge more, they would. All they have are the three spaces. 9.99. And that's what I. I. They're. They can't charge anymore. The guy said if they wanted to charge 20 bucks easily, they could get that done.
Mo
It makes my puke.
Rod Ryan
What are they talking about? See, I was looking for a song. Okay. Boomers. They're talking about Boomers. On our Facebook page this morning, I put up I put up this morning when I first got here early. I figured I'd get the crusty early people.
Mo
Right, Crusty.
Rod Ryan
What's a boomer opinion that we can all agree on? Not a bad idea. And I figure. Okay, let me get you started this morning. And this just happened to me recently. Wanting to speak to a real person on the phone when you call a place.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Especially if you need to cancel something. Right now, it's almost criminal all these things are going to sound like a boomer. But it's not bad, though, because it's like, okay, wait, Boomers might be on to something, and I'm not a boomer, by the way. Before you say anything dumb. Alex. Gen X, baby. Gen X. When you cannot cancel something. I'm not even going to get into the specifics. I cannot get it to a human being. I cannot get to a human being to cancel something that I need canceled that I'm paying for. I am so upset. I don't know what to do.
Mo
There have been criminal cases because of that.
Rod Ryan
Okay, I'm gonna report this place. Yeah. I'm gonna report them. Here's what they're saying. People share too much on social media. You're gonna sound like a grandma here. You're gonna sound. You know, you're sound like a grandma here. Okay. Physical buttons are better than touchscreens. I never would have thought of that. You're not wrong. You're not wrong.
Mo
I remember trans transitioning from like a.
Rod Ryan
Well, the iPhone changed everything. We're not going to put buttons on the. When that phone came out, he stood up there and said, we're not. We're gonna. The keyboard. We're just putting the glass. All you're gonna do is get a screen. They changed the world.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
I'm not denying that. The iPhone changed the world.
Mo
We all had blackberries.
Rod Ryan
Remember that? Little did you have. I had a BlackBerry for a little while. That was like, part of a promotion, and it was some kind of text that. It wasn't a normal key keyboard. You had to double up on T9.
Alex
T9.
Rod Ryan
What was that? I couldn't figure it out.
Mo
I had that on my notes.
Alex
Yeah, yeah.
Rod Ryan
It was a whole new way of abc.
Mo
The one was ABC three times.
Rod Ryan
Thank you. Oh, my God.
Mo
That's how we learned to do it.
Alex
That built us into who we are today.
Mo
Look at us now.
Rod Ryan
One of the big answers on our Facebook page. Put away your phones at concerts. That's being mentioned on here, which is not a bad idea.
Alex
I didn't have landlines read a book,
Rod Ryan
not an E reader. Would you like to have a book
Mo
in your hand sometimes?
Rod Ryan
Yeah, I just like to have, like, a book in your hand.
Alex
I'm an audiobook guy now, so maybe not.
Rod Ryan
Oh, the other one that I put on here. And again, it's from me. That's fine. But what are Boomer Boomer opinions that we can all agree on? Are paper menus way better than QR codes?
Alex
Yeah, that's very recent, though. That's not boomer even. That's just like, pre pandemic.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Right. But there's still places that just. Oh, click here. And then there's the menu. Like, I want to hold a menu in my hand.
Alex
And I'm not going to.
Rod Ryan
Like, most places are back to it.
Alex
Most places are, but I will still ask for a physical menu. But don't bring me one.
Rod Ryan
Somebody said music in bars is too loud.
Mo
No, I went somewhere where it was too loud recently.
Rod Ryan
A bar?
Mo
Yeah. It was a restaurant.
Rod Ryan
Right. But the music was up too loud.
Mo
Yeah. I was like, wow,
Alex
Everybody.
Rod Ryan
Everyone feels that kids are being brainwashed by Tick Tock. And I thought this was a good one. Tony said, smart appliances are stupid. I think I have like a. I have a. I bought. I had to buy a new washer and dryer recently, and I guess I
Alex
could do that now.
Rod Ryan
I guess I can hook it up to my phone.
Mo
Yeah. Somehow give it a refresh on the dryer. One more cycle.
Rod Ryan
I haven't even done it yet. I don't think I'll ever. I don't think I'm gonna hook it up.
Mo
Like, cars have that everything doesn't.
Rod Ryan
An app. Do you need a smart toaster? Do you need a smart toaster? Like, what. Would you set your toast?
Alex
You tell it to stop whenever you want. Like, I don't know, man. Like, the old toasters kind of had it down.
Mo
Yeah. I like a smart crock pot. That might be all my life, certain things.
Alex
But I don't want to download an app to download a thing that plays my daughter music at night. And then it's like, well, you could update other stuff. I'm not ever going to do that. So. No.
Rod Ryan
Do you have a smart crock pot?
Mo
No, but I want one.
Rod Ryan
Oh, okay. That one.
Mo
That you can remove control.
Alex
Smart fridges, like, what do they really do better?
Mo
You can look inside your fridge.
Alex
Right.
Rod Ryan
But like, genius.
Mo
Other than that, you're at the store and you're like, do we have any eggs?
Rod Ryan
I don't know this.
Mo
That's a smart refrigerator.
Rod Ryan
Rod. And you can. The camera shows you what you're.
Mo
I don't know if it's necessarily a camera, but yeah, there's some sort of technology that'll tell you what's in there.
Rod Ryan
I don't know. I mean, the washer and dryer. I just. As a matter of fact, I don't think I bought. I didn't buy it for that reason. I just bought it. It was rated high and. But there's like WI fi capabilities. Yeah, I'm not interested.
Mo
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
Rod Ryan
I'm not interested. I don't need another. A little app on my phone when
Alex
your WI fi goes down. And I think, now I can't do laundry.
Rod Ryan
Now what? All right, I'm gonna bump this up to the top of our Facebook page. I imagine some of you are going to want to add some comments to. I like this, Dan. Respect is earned, not something that is handed out like a participation trophy. Spoken like a boomer. Spoken like a true boomer. This is celebrating Boomer Boomerism. It's on our Facebook page at Rodryan Show. Here's Nirvana. 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Thank you so much for rolling with us on this Monday. Hope everybody had a great weekend. You want to see Moe's six picks on the weekend? A little bit. Few more than six picks, but apparently you're allowed. Chili seems to be in a wonderful mood today.
Mo
He's. Well said.
Rod Ryan
I get. Guess so. And then the. The carrot cake after that. There is a food blog page today. Oh, here's. I think Josh Tree quit coffee, too, for lunch. Yeah.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
He said he had his first cup with. With a cinnamon roll. Very good. All right, he's back. He's back on the coffee. It wasn't that bad. Cole says a year or so ago, I had to call my bank, my credit card company, and block all payments indefinitely to a specific company that I couldn't get a subscription canceled from. Those idiots from the subscription then started contacting me with a live person to try and get the payments flowing again, at which point I was finally able to cancel what I was trying to cancel. Dang. I said, I'm in process of trying to cancel something and I cannot get a human being. Cannot.
Mo
Got to walk here. This is the first time.
Rod Ryan
This is the second time this has happened in my life. But I'm currently in something right now where I just like, can I get. There's no humans, Boomer. I don't care If I sound like
Alex
a boomer, I don't think that's a off take. Can I get a human feel that way too?
Rod Ryan
Can I get a human in my life, please?
Alex
There's never been a time where, like, talking to a robot, like, wow, this was way more convenient. I'm glad that you generic robot is talking to me. Help solve my problem faster than a human being. That could probably have done it a little bit.
Rod Ryan
I know you guys are dealing with it like in. In the to go lanes of restaurants, the AI conversations on the phone and people calling you. It was one thing when robo calls were coming through. But the AI is creep. You still know it's AI, but it's creepy. It's like, you're not fooling me. But also, wow, this really sounds good.
Alex
Really good.
Rod Ryan
Wow, this really sounds good. I know it's AI, but it does sound really good on. There is a food blog page up today, if you can imagine. There's been nothing but food talks on this show. There's a list and it's just. It's missing something. And these are supposedly the best food scenes in movies. We just talked about one. American Pie. Yes, That's a food scene.

And puts like a, like a whipped cream something in his mouth and he. His cheeks are full and it goes all over the place. It goes all over everybody's. Like a zit. Get it? And then he stands up and says, food fight. And then boom. A food fight. And like my whole life I wanted to be involved in one of these, you know, Food fight, Animal House not on the list. I'm discounting the whole thing. I still put it up on the food blog page.
