Hands off those cupcakes. It's tattoosday and we got this guy Josh that kind of fell in our lap. He's beating a two time hall of famer and a three time hall of Famer. To my knowledge, Josh has never been in the hall of fame. We're not even sure anything about this guy. Although he's kicking some ass in the fresh out of bed head to head. He's been fun. He's going for win number three today. Motley Crue tickets in homeroom on the fun Fact Flashback, baby. Metal hailstorm Tickets at 7:20, A100 Willie's Grill and Ice House. Gift card and you can be the next. The second person qualified for that trip to two to the exclusive and intimate four day weekend.

Black Crows tickets early in the nine, Jet tickets in the nine o' clock hour. Nothing over a 10% chance of rain today. Partly cloudy, highs of about 78. Good morning Mo. What do you got? What do you got for Houston's headlines? You got some space news.
Mo
You know it was a big day yesterday.
Alex
Huge.
Mo
Four Artemis 2 astronauts made history yesterday with their Orion spacecraft swinging behind the moon, taking them farther from earth than any humans have ever traveled. The crew was taking pictures and video. They also conducted what scientists call the most critical part of their mission mission, which was just describing their own observations of the surface of the moon. The crew's busy day continued with another first for humans. Orion aligned with the sun and the moon, putting the crew inside a total solar eclipse. It was a big day. Big day yesterday. Tonight is President Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the strait of Hormuz, 7pm our time. So Iran rejected a 45 day cease fire proposal. They were circulating through some mediators last night and they sent back a 10 point counteroffer. They demanded a permanent end to the war. Trump acknowledged that latest offer with Iran as a significant step, but said it was not good enough. 33% of American young adults still live with their parents.
Rod Ryan
What?
Mo
33%. That's one in three.
Rod Ryan
What's the age graph? What's the age?
Mo
Young adults.
Rod Ryan
Young adults.
Mo
So 18 to 30. Ish.
Rod Ryan
Wow.
Mo
And that number has been climbing in recent years. You think it was because of the pandemic which were the highest levels, but they settled down a little bit after that and now people are moving back home at record speeds. So just for reference, in the 60s, 1960, about 22% of young adults lived at home. The argument now everything's expensive.
Rod Ryan
I hung in there a long time. I was in my mom's basement till 25, so I can't say much about it.
Mo
We bringing girls home to mom's house?
Rod Ryan
Maybe.
Mo
Did you sit down and eat dinner with her?
Rod Ryan
With who?
Mo
Your mom?
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Mo
Okay. I kind of like that idea.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, a little bit.
Mo
Big night last night? Offset was shot. He was in Florida outside a casino. A rep for the rapper says he's recovering in the hospital. He's quote fine, unquote. That Was what he said. Two people detained. No word on their identities or motive. Even though there are some rumors circulating online. Offset, we know has six kids, including three with his ex wife Cardi B. And we also remember when his bandmate Takeoff was shot and killed here in Houston in November of 2022. Come on, guys. There is a new artist on itunes that is making records. He has. He. I say he has 11 songs in the top 100 on iTunes and he's not even real.
Rod Ryan
Oh, that's why you're playing the Terminator music. Okay, I get it.
Mo
His name is Eddie Dalton. It's an artist created by AI. He not only has those top 11 songs on the hundred. Listen, it's good album at number three.
Rod Ryan
Sorry Ale, but it's good.
Alex
It's not real.
Mo
Is this called Another Day Old? Yeah, it's gotta be.
Alex
I did not even name it. I didn't want to give it any respect.
Mo
This artist, another day old.
Rod Ryan
11 songs in the top 100 you can churn out.
Mo
Song has 1.4 million views on YouTube. And the guy behind Eddie says he's not deceiving people. Everything's labeled like it's supposed to be. People know he's not real and they quote, enjoy the music for what it is.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, people that don't care, they don't care.
Mo
There's one guy that writes all the song.
Rod Ryan
I guess we call them sheep. I'm not disagreeing with you. It's just people don't care if they like the song. They like the song. They don't care if it's coming from a machine.
Mo
Kind of catchy. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Take it, Alex.

In college hoops, the Michigan Wolverines are the new kings of college basketball. They beat UConn 69, 63 in the national championship game last night. It's their first national title in basketball since 1989. In the the NBA, the Rockets are going to be back in action tonight. They'll play the Suns out in Phoenix. They're one and a half point underdogs coming into this one tip off will be at 10 o' clock and you can hear it on our sister Station News Radio740, KTRH.

Okay. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. It's a great way to get things started here on a tattoosday, April 7th. Nothing over a 10. Chance of rain, partly cloudy today. Highs of around. We are busy this morning for sure. Even homeroom. I keep talking about Josh, how excited I am about this virtually unknown, this particular Josh. Kind of an unknown Josh, but boy, just destroying people. Taking out hall of Famers in his first two games. He's going for win number three. Don't miss it. Don't miss it. He'll be out with us at around 6:20. Motley Crue tickets closer to around 6:35 on the fun fact flashback. The five second rule game, 8 o'. Clock. We'll play it around 8:20. This is for the $100 Willie's Grill and Ice House gift card. But more importantly, you are qualified for the trip, all expenses paid to hang out with Blue October in Cabo San Lucas. They've given us a trip to give to you guys. How great is that? That's at 8:20 this morning, every phone line ringing.
Mo
It's now time for the first phone call of the day.
Rod Ryan
Jeff. Hi, Jeff. Good morning. What's going on, brother? Ryan. What's up, dude? You got the first phone call today. What do you want to get into? Oh, man, you know, everybody. Everybody busts you about being a from Buffalo, but you never talk about hockey.
Alex
Well, you know. And the Sabers are.
Rod Ryan
They're heading out this year. It looks good for them. So I was curious on what your thoughts were. Well, it's been 14 or 15 years now, depending on who you ask, since the Sabers have made the playoffs. It was a different world back then. It's been a long drought. Alex doesn't like me talking about it because now the Sabers are guaranteed a playoff spot. That means his Detroit Red Wings now are the team with the longest drought of a playoff appearance.
Alex
If they don't make it, they're still mathematically not eliminated.
Rod Ryan
Really? They need some help. How many more games in the regular season?
Mo
Three.
Rod Ryan
Five. Okay. I thought it was like five somewhere in there now. Why are you into hockey? Where are you from originally, Jeff? I grew up in Colorado, so I'm
Alex
favorites to win it this year.
Rod Ryan
You know, they look good last year. And then we go to Dallas and we just seem to just choke every year, so. Well, everybody in Buffalo wants a Dallas rematch. There was a whole situation years ago with Brett hall was standing in the crease, cheating, scored a goal and yeah,
Alex
absolutely, absolutely no scumbags. Scumbag team.
Rod Ryan
I have a saber shirt on today. I just happen to wear this suit. So I'm super excited. Everybody in Buffalo is super excited right now. I just don't want to bore people here with that. So I appreciate you mentioning it though, because it gets me to talk about it a little. We're also getting a semi pro team down in Rosenberg, so. Yeah, we are. Yeah, we are. All right. Bringing some hockey back to Houston. And we did talk a lot during the Olympics. I mean, that was fun. I mean, there was nothing more fun than that. Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate it. Yeah, I'm super excited about hockey right now, for sure. I've got to take a break. On the flip of this break, we got a wreck check right, Alex trending. And then we will get set up and we'll get Josh back on with us, who has been really, really fun in this fresh out of bed, head to head challenge.
Mo
All right. You know the feeling that mid morning fade, it kind of starts to settle in and you're like, I do not have any time in this long day to have lag. Well, in comes Starbucks to save the day. What's up, y'? All? It's Mo. And it's a huge day because Starbucks is introducing a brand new Starbucks energy refresher. And you're like, mo, we already know the refreshers, y'. All. These are caffeinated. Yes. Those same bright, fruity tastes you already love, love, love, but with a little boost, you know what I'm saying? We love the pink drink, right? We love the strawberry acai. Those flavors, we already know them. They're sticking around, but with a little extra kick. It's caffeine. And they're rolling out new flavors today too. So hear me out. I told you it's a big day. I actually think I'm headed straight from here. And I'm gonna try the Mango strawberry energy refresher. Sounds great, right? They also have a mango dream energy drink, so maybe I'll try both. I don't know. It's gonna be a game time decision, but I'm telling y', all, I'm headed straight from here. To Starbucks to try the brand new energy refreshers. They're new today and if you get there before me, maybe send me a little message, let me know which one you try. I'm so excited. Energy refreshers are at Starbucks. They're brand new. You can order one right now on the Starbucks app. Starbucks energy refreshers new today. You are welcome. The buzz.

Offset is trending. Mo talked about in headlines with the rapper was shot outside of a casino in Florida. It looks like he'll be okay, but yeah, big news. Big news that that happened.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Okay, I should shake my head at this. Like, come on.
Alex
Smh.
Rod Ryan
Stop playing games.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Stop playing games with guns. All right, what else?
Alex
Yeah, national championship game is trending. Michigan beat Yukon 69, 63 last night to win the men's basketball national title. So people are talking about that. And then probably the biggest thing to ever happen in the history of sports. Angel Reese, biggest trade in sports history. People are saying she was sent from the Chicago sky to the Atlanta dream where she's now gonna pair with Brittney Griner. What a duo.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
What a dynamic duo going on in Atlanta. And I mean that's probably my, my new WNBA team until we get the comments. Back in a year.
Rod Ryan
Gonna be your jersey.
Alex
Yeah, but that's, that's what's training. And I amplify the buzz. All right.
Rod Ryan
I don't think other John and this Josh guy who's the current champion, I don't think they're the same person.
Mo
Are you sure? How, what made you think that?
Rod Ryan
Other John did some deep diving into his notes. He goes, josh was a fresh fish. April 2, 2025, he beat Dean Dean the dancing machine and then lost to old Greg on April 3, 2025, came back into our lives exactly one year later. April 3, 2026. That's weird to the date. One year he came back on with us. He's our current champion.
Alex
Good morning everybody. This is Josh and I'm still around. I am your fresh out of bed, head to head two day champion. All I do is beat hall of famers, baby. Join me on Tuesday when I make it win number three.
Rod Ryan
Still sounds like other John, though, but I don't think he is. 713-212-5945. Who is next to take on this Josh? Just Maniac. The Rod Ryan show. Mornings on 94. 5 the Buzz.

And now it's time for the fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. Listeners, to your corners. The mystery man himself. Who are you, Josh? Who are you? I don't know.
Alex
I just. I mean, I tried to get through sooner, but it just like, I guess it worked out that way.
Rod Ryan
Did you realize that it was one year to the day that you came back into our lives and took out other John?
Alex
I didn't know it was exactly a year, but I know it's pretty close to it.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. April 3rd. Magical April 3rd. He keeps track of that stuff, dude. Okay? He's just sitting there sharpening knives right now, thinking and hearing your voice on the air. I'm just saying that's not true. All right, Josh, you got two wins under your belt. You took out some hall of Famers each day. We got John. Rock and roller. John, welcome back to the show. Hey, brother. Right. How you doing today? I was good until you're getting me into another John Josh situation.
Mo
Horrible. It's been the Tuesday. It's Tuesday already.
Rod Ryan
Why do you hate us, John? Why didn't you call, like, I don't know, next week or the week earlier? That was a fun one. I was the one that actually emailed you guys from Chicago and showed you how many times I was calling in. I do remember that. That's been. It's been years. I was thinking this is. It's been a couple years since I've been in, but every single morning I got two phones out trying to call one on the secret number, one on the normal number. All right, now listen. Now I'm rooting for you to lose. There is no secret number. John Roller. You're still in Chicago. No, no, no, no. I'm from Houston. I live in Super. Okay, but you were. I came and did the gallon.
Alex
I came and did the.

Mo
Yes, I am.
Rod Ryan
I'm sorry, but I know you can handle it.
Mo
I can handle it.
Rod Ryan
I am presenting to you a John, Josh, a Josh, John situation.

They're going to shout out their name. You want me. You guys want me to take me. No, no, no, no. Cuz what's going to happen? You get. You're going to get the heat of battle and you're going to forget. So that's okay. That's okay. You don't have the same name. My squad can handle this. What are they playing for?

There is nicotine in eggplants, but not very much. You'd have to eat about 20 pounds of eggplants to get the nicotine effect you get from one cigarette. So you can stop smoking eggplants.
Mo
Hal, please stop. Cheaper.
Alex
He rolls his own eggplant cigarettes.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Unfiltered. All right. Frederick Bauer made hockey skates. No. Oh. Okay. Gotcha. Frederick is the inventor of Pringles. Before he died in 2008, his final request was to be cremated and buried in a Pringles can. His children fulfilled his request. His son said, my siblings and I briefly debated what flavor can to put him in, but his son said, let's just put him in the original flavor. It's a sick flax. Yeah. Sick flex. I'm gonna be sprinkled all over this mixing board when I go so that it never works again so no one else have to has to use it or. Before you go. Madison only became a popular name after this movie came out in 1984. Tom Hanks even said in the movie, but Madison isn't a name. Only Hal would have a shot at this. 1984.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Her name was Madison. The movie was Splash. That's neat. Daryl Hanna's a mermaid, and she just sees the Madison Avenue sign, and she goes, oh, my name is Madison.

Mo
Hello.
Rod Ryan
Hello. Hi. What's your name? Tony. Tony. Hi, Tony. Welcome in the well, this catcher played in the major leagues. His last year was 1989. His name was Benny Destefano. But he was also the last person to have this trait. I think that's what I asked. What am I looking for here, Tony? He was the last left hand handed catcher in the mlb. Yeah. Meaning he threw with his left hand. But lefties struggle to play catcher because it's like throwing out people at third base and shortstop and sec. It's just not. It just doesn't make sense. Tony, you're the winner. Congratulations. And most. Got some great tickets for you, Tony.
Mo
You're going to Motley Crew. Congratulations.
Rod Ryan
Nicely done. That is awesome. I've been wanting to go see them them since they canceled on me in Vegas a year or so ago.

But 8:20, we're gonna play the five second rule game. Got five seconds. Oh, yeah, yeah. You'll be singing that all day today. Right now, I got mo with Houston's headlines. Go ahead.
Mo
Thank you, Rod. The four Artemis 2 astronauts made history yesterday when their Orion spacecraft swung behind the moon, taking them farther from Earth than any humans have ever travel.
Rod Ryan
That's a big deal.
Mo
It's a huge deal. The crew took pictures and video. They also conducted what scientists called the most critical part of their mission, describing their own observations of the surface.
Rod Ryan
The furthest flying humans ever.
Mo
Ever.
Alex
Ryan Gosling went way further.
Rod Ryan
Dude, those are movies.
Mo
They were also the first humans to ever be inside a total solar eclipse. Okay, that seems pretty cool.
Alex
A spaceship, dude.
Rod Ryan
Duh. Now you asked me this morning, they were eating maple cream cookies.
Mo
Yes, that's how they celebrated.
Rod Ryan
There's a Canadian on their board. There's three Americans and a Canadian.
Mo
The one guy got to bring his cookies.
Rod Ryan
He brought maple cream cookies.
Mo
Why couldn't we do something else?
Rod Ryan
I brought those here.
Alex
I have a gold medal to bring.
Rod Ryan
So, yes, maple cream cookies are delicious.
Mo
In case you missed it, allergy season is Longer. We all feel it. Actually one third of Americans just felt it. That's how many of us suffer from allergies. If it feels like your allergies are getting worse, you are not wrong. There's a allergist at University of Michigan Health that explains. In general, allergy seasons are expected to be longer and more severe as time goes on. Obviously blaming climate change, global warming for that.
Rod Ryan
Thanks a lot. I really need a smart person to, to let me know when can I power wash or you know, pressure wash cuz I'm not going to do it. And then the yellow, when is the
Mo
yellow stuff going to be gone?
Rod Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mo
The rain is supposed to help is what I keep seeing and reading. We're supposed to get more rain this week, but it won't be the end of it right now.
Rod Ryan
But I can't use my backyard. Like I can't use the stuff in there. Like I don't.
Mo
It looks yucky.
Rod Ryan
It's just, it's coated in yellow.
Mo
And your pool, the pool.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
I've got so much caterpillar looking like brown things that follow the trees. I've been blowing those out of my walkway every day.
Rod Ryan
They're gross.
Mo
Hey, what do you do after Ozempic? You get a divorce, of course.
Rod Ryan
Buy new clothes.
Mo
The new study makes sense. People who undergo rapid weight loss, like using a weight loss drug are quote, twice as likely to divorce.
Rod Ryan
Isn't there like something called a revenge body?
Mo
That's basically what they're saying.
Alex
Someone.
Rod Ryan
Is that a thing?
Mo
The idea is you're more self confident, you're more able to make changes and
Rod Ryan
leave a bad relationship until you stop taking as epic.
Mo
And then technically they looked at people that had just done the gastric bypass band situation. 12,500 married patients that did that procedure, more than 14% divorced within six years.
Rod Ryan
Is that higher than regular people?
Mo
8% is regular people is what they're claiming here.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so yeah, you're looking good. You're like, okay, I'm confident.
Mo
I want to be more social. I want to live a healthier life.
Alex
Grass must be greener.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, like, but I can get a. I can, like I've moved into the next tier.
Mo
I can nail it in now.
Rod Ryan
Looking good. Now
Mo
CBS made a big announcement when it comes to late night television. They announced after the Late show with Stephen Colbert ends on May 20th. First, a new show, Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen will take over.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, he's like the guru, the, the guy behind it. Byron Allen. I was telling you guys when I was a Kid. There was a show called Real People and he was one of the cast members on the show. It was kind of a reality show. Reality based, like a magazine show.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
First time I ever saw, they would just show like quirky things. The first time I ever saw a tanning booth, he was doing a story on it. Like, you can go into this place, put on these goggles, and he's dancing around inside a. You know, it was a stand up.
Mo
Yeah. So he's an actor. What does he call himself? I'm seeing like CEO. Like, he's the one that gets all these comics together for this show.
Rod Ryan
He started out as a. Probably a stand up and then became a television personality, but then invested his money and now he's rich.
Mo
Rich.
Rod Ryan
He's. Oh, yeah, like.
Alex
Like Tyler Perry did.
Rod Ryan
Like Oprah and Tyler Perry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got an empire.
Mo
And he's paying for this time slot.
Rod Ryan
He's buying the airtime that Stephen Colbert
Mo
had from CBS and he's paying for the after, the hour after to air. Funny you should ask.
Alex
I'm sure that's cheap.
Mo
Pretty wild situation.
Rod Ryan
But he sells the airtime then because he buys the air time. So then he's got a group of people that go out and sell the commercials that are on during that show.
Mo
Got it.
Rod Ryan
It's a whole, whole thing. But, yeah, good for him.
Mo
The Strokes announced their seventh studio album. It's called Reality Awaits and it's due out this summer. They revealed the project, little short teaser video on social media. It has an image of a vintage car and the message said, in the flesh. It's even sexier. No release date, no track listing, no singles were announced. We do know they have a busy festival season ahead, but that's all we know.
Rod Ryan
I'm hearing things in the hallway.
Alex
Hearing things. Things like what?
Rod Ryan
I'm hearing things. Things in the hall we must go to. You know, like when you start, we start walking a little slower because somebody's giving you something. Somebody's, you know, talking juicy. Yeah, there's something going on with the Strokes.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
They're gonna have a new song.
Mo
Interesting.
Rod Ryan
Do I know when they're stroking it? They're do. Well, they.
Alex
That's just what. That's what you call.
Rod Ryan
Because they have all of these big Coachellas and all these big festivals. Whatever it is, they got a new song coming and I just don't. We're going to get it soon. Cool.
Mo
Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
All right. What you got over there in college?
Alex
Hoops The Michigan Wolverines are the new kings of the college basketball world. They beat UConn 69 to 63 in the national championship game last night, their first basketball title since 1989. In the NBA, Rockets will be back in action tonight. They're going to play the Suns out in Phoenix. Rockets are one and a half point underdogs coming into this tip off will be at 10 and you can hear it on our sister Station News Radio set 740K TRH. In baseball, Astros lost to the Rockies last night, 9 7. They gave up eight runs in the fifth inning and weren't able to come back from that. They're gonna play the Rockies again tonight. Mike Burrows will be on the mound for the Strohs going up against Colorado's Kyle Freeland. First pitches 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 rockin alternative, the Rodrigo Morning Show.
Mo
6 to 10am 94. 5 the buzz.
Rod Ryan
94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Really nothing going on? Well, I'm sure they're working on something, but as far as what we know about the Chili Peppers, it's kind of all Flea out there promoting his trumpet album.
Alex
That's what they're doing.
Rod Ryan
He's, he's like late night and he's doing a lot of Internet stuff and he's doing the circuit, the interviews and everything. He's really pushing that trumpet album them. It's nothing that we would play here. It really is kind of jazz trumpet and he's a good, he's a great trumpeter. It's just nothing that we would play here. But good for Fleet getting out there. And you know, I think artists want to stretch their legs a little bit. Good morning. It is tattoosday. That is our Instagram feature. I wanted to make sure that everybody knew we don't give away a lot. I just mentioned this, the radio wizard the other day. One thing that radio used to give away, well, CDs. Remember that?
Mo
Oh, I won CDs on the radio.
Rod Ryan
People would come down, they'd win a CD. We gave away movies on DVD.
Mo
Lots of DVDs.
Rod Ryan
I've been around a long time. I gave away VHS's. I've been around, but we gave away trips. They just like trips came into our lives for whatever happened on the back end, whatever kind of CD backroom deals were going on. We had trips to give away and we don't get them that often, but we have a trip to give away now. And it is so awesome. And I know how it went down. It's just Blue October said, why don't you guys give away a trip to hang out with us a little bit. Oh, is this the dvd?
Alex
I remember listening to the show and that was always my favorite drops.
Rod Ryan
So I think we would like when new movies came out on dvd, you
Alex
had like new movie Wednesday.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. And we would give away DVDs and then. So this is when you're in the car on your way to school.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And we'd be giving away DVDs on the DVD.
Alex
I don't know why it was so funny.
Mo
To me it changed you and made you who you are today.
Rod Ryan
Like I want to do that for a living. I didn't know what he was saying. So the guys over at Blue October, you know, we had Justin and Ryan in here and we were talking with them about their excursion. It's called into the Ocean with Blue October. And where what they have done is they have booked a property in Cabo San Lucas. It's the Pueblo Bonita. Where are you? Chile Pacifica Resort.
Mo
Good job.
Rod Ryan
All right. It's not like they have a couple of rooms. The whole resort is Blue October. They've taken over the whole place and they're putting packages available and you can vacation with Blue October. BlueOctobergetaways.com There are still some rooms available, but we have a trip for two. Four day weekend. And what Blue October does is they do something special each and every day. And I don't know that there's even a traditional meet and greet. They're just walking around and even Ryan was saying like swimming around. Ryan was saying like he was in the pool and he's hanging out. He saw people like, oh my God, there's Ryan. I think that's the violin player. That's the violin player. Blocktober.
Mo
Just go talk to him.
Rod Ryan
And nobody wants to go and say hi. He's like, you can come on over. Let's talk, let's meet.
Mo
We're all, we're all here together.
Rod Ryan
Like Ryan's in the pool. He's like, come on in.
Mo
That's really cool.
Rod Ryan
Come say hi. You know, and that's the, that's what they want to do. They want to connect with their fans. So they've given us an intimate four day weekend. There's, there's going to be a full blown concert. There's unplugged. There's like talking and storytelling and all of this stuff. They've got A whole weekend planned for Blue October fans. It is the ultimate Blue October getaway. All inclusive.
Mo
Yeah, I was hoping you would say that at this the resort all inclusive in Cabo.
Rod Ryan
So I'm just making sure that you know about this and I want you to be around at 8:20 because that's when we're going to give away a 100 Willy's Grill and Ice House gift card. They hopped on this. That's what your qualifying prize is. And then your name goes into the hopper for the big drawing. So it's a huge deal. Into the ocean with Blue October. If you wanted to book this thing, you can Blue October getaways. But it sells out. They sell out the whole resort. Everybody there is a Blue October fan.
Alex
That's pretty cool.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. And the guys are all know what
Alex
to talk about in the elevator with anybody that you're in the elevator with it.
Rod Ryan
So what's your favorite song? What's you know, favorite track on Foiled. So what is it? 8:20. We're gonna play a little game now. Okay. So that's it. Thank you. Coming up, I've got tickets to go see Baby Metal and Hailstorm. Hailstorm is opening for Babymetal. Babymetal is on the rise. They are on the rise big time right now. There's a woodland show too. We'll talk about that show after this break.
Mo
Oh, you know it. I can feel it. I think it's best described as the mid morning fade. You know we don't have time in our days, our busy, busy days for any sort of lag. That's where Starbucks comes in and they are saving the day. Especially today because Starbucks is introducing a brand new Starbucks energy refresher. And you're like mo. Yeah, refreshers. We know those. They're amazing. Amazing. These are caffeinated. Yes. The same bright fruity taste we already love but with a little extra boost that we definitely need. We love the pink drink. Right. We also love the strawberry acai. Yeah. Those flavors that we already know, we're already obsessed with. They're sticking around but they're adding a little extra kick. It's caffeine. They're rolling out new flavors today too. I told you it was a big day. I think I'm headed to try the Mango Strawberry energy refresher. What do you think? They also have a Mango Dream energy drink. Maybe I try that. I don't know. Let's be real. It's gonna be a game time decision when I get there straight from here. I'm headed to Starbucks to try the brand new energy refreshers. And if you get there before me, shoot me maybe, I don't know, a little message, a dm. Let me know which one you try. I'm so excited. New energy refreshers are at Starbucks. New, new, new. Order one right now on the Starbucks app. Starbucks energy refreshers new today. You are welcome.
Rod Ryan
Rock and alternative for Houston.
Mo
The Rod Ryan Morning Show. 6 the Buzz 94.
Rod Ryan
5 the Buzz Good Morning Rod Ryan show. Thank you guys for hanging out with us on this tattoos day. Always hoping you're off to a great start to your day. Mo's gonna reward you for hanging out with us with some great tickets coming up. But first there's Alex. I didn't see anybody like having any big specials today, but it is needs to be mentioned. National Beer Day.
Alex
National Beer Day.
Rod Ryan
Do you see it anywhere?
Alex
I'm not seeing a trend right now.
Mo
Give me a special.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Like why isn't everybody jumping on this?
Alex
Makes no sense.
Rod Ryan
Is there 10 other national beer days called something else?
Alex
I'll drink a beer day.
Rod Ryan
Your canned AM light light beer day.
Alex
Oh yeah.
Rod Ryan
IPA day. There probably isn't that today's National Beer Day. I did not see it trending anywhere but I did put a I did add it to the food blog page today. What? What is trending?
Alex
Artemis 2 is trending.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
People talking about him seeing the moon yesterday and all that stuff.
Rod Ryan
Well, the furthest flying humans in history besides Ryan Gosling. There's something here. Skywalker real not.
Alex
You know, we're not talking about things a real guy.
Rod Ryan
We're not talking about Star Trek was project Hail Mary.
Alex
Who's the other one?
Rod Ryan
All right, so Artemis 2 still trending.
Mo
Yes.
Alex
Michael Malone is trending. North Carolina hired the former Nuggets head coach for their head back basketball coach job. So people talk about that. It was kind of a surprise hire. And then Byron Allen is trending. We've been talking about it in headlines today, but CBS is going to give Stephen Colbert's late night slot to comedian Byron Allen at the end of May. And I believe it is a paid. He's paying for the time but he's going to take over the slot that is currently occupied by Stephen Colbert. When Stephen Colbert's show comes to an end. That is what's trending on provide the Buzz.
Rod Ryan
Did anyone else think it was so weird that they announced that Colbert in this business when you get let go, they don't let you know ahead of time.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Because they don't want you to sabotage. They don't want you to bad mouth the company. They don't want you to do all of that. That's why in radio, people will. They'll be enjoying somebody on the radio and then all of a sudden never to be heard from again.
Mo
Disappear.
Rod Ryan
You're. You get fired and you don't get one last show to say goodbye. Rarely. You guys did.
Mo
I did.
Rod Ryan
You did. On your country station, which was weird.
Mo
Rare.
Rod Ryan
But you know that that's rare, right?
Mo
Correct.
Alex
Did you want to just MF them so bad like.
Mo
I kind of did, yeah. Next topic.
Alex
Cool, cool, cool.
Rod Ryan
But Colbert was given an entire year and.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And I thought this was a ploy to save the Colbert show and to
Mo
rally they had something else going on
Rod Ryan
or I thought it was a stunt.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And it looks like they're still going through with this. Is when his last day. It's looking like it is going to be his last day. Yeah.
Alex
And he's picked a bunch of people that like comedians and people that he really liked that he's had on before that he's kind of winding down with.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
So it is kind of like a farewell thing.
Mo
But I want to know what's going on.
Rod Ryan
Like, I didn't believe it.
Mo
Can we look in Reddit or something? Is there like some conspiracy theory?
Rod Ryan
No, it's just me just thinking, you know, you don't normally do that. Give somebody a year to, you know, trash the company. It looks like they're going through with it. Colbert's gonna be off the air and then this Byron Allen guy is going to take over with what his stuff does. All right, moving on.
Mo

Mo
What's going on?
Rod Ryan
I'm just not seeing stuff. Like I said, I added it to the food blog page. It's national no housework day. You know what? Pretty cool. If there was a little housework fairy that came in and did everything today,
Mo
how's it gonna get done?
Rod Ryan
How? You just, like, let it sit.
Mo
No.
Rod Ryan
And just don't do it. That'll make me nuts.
Mo
I've had days like that.
Rod Ryan
No days off. No days off. That washer and dryer is going every day.
Mo
You're a maniac.
Rod Ryan
Every day it's like, is it laundry day? It's laundry day. Every day.
Mo
Every day is laundry day.
Rod Ryan
All right, so national beer day and no housework day. No indication that they're meant to be related.
Mo
It is.
Rod Ryan
But also on the food blog page today. This is what the kids are talking about online. Tokyo style pizza. I'm on board with this. I. I've never heard of it until this morning. Tokyo Style pizza is taking off. The hipsters know about. Kind of looks like a regular Neapolitan pizza pie. It's got thick and airy outer crust. Oh, do I love that. Neapolitan is. It's ice cream Neophyte. Neapolitan is the type of crust.
Alex
Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.
Mo
And strawberry ice cream.
Rod Ryan
Well, that is also ice cream. Sure.
Mo
Who are these Neapolitan people?
Rod Ryan
So it's got that airy outer crust that you would get like from a stone oven or something like that, but maintaining a thin bottom crust. So you get like the best of both worlds. There's like some wild hybrid they're working on. Stuff with pizza. Yes. It's got a little woodsy smoky to it.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
Has anybody had Tokyo style pizza? I want it.
Mo
First time I've heard of it.
Rod Ryan
I want it now as I. I'm always trying to keep up on what's going on. Tokyo style pizza, I just told you about it. Now you can tell your friends. There was a guy that came through town and I can't remember what he reviewed on his. But he put a restaurant on his TikTok and the restaurant became extremely busy afterwards. Is there like one guy that everybody kind of knows that like his food reviews are absolute fire and everybody goes there right afterwards, huh?
Alex
Guy Fieri.
Rod Ryan
Guy Fieri, yeah. Guy Fieri. I'm telling you, the diners. Diners drive ins and dies.
Mo
Like people will hang that. I love it in their. In their restaurant forever.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Like you were on the show once.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Well, now the Tick Tockers are taking over. Yeah. And this guy. And this is where TikTok. You can't just sit there and crap on it all the time. His video basically saved a family bakery that was about to close. The bakery is called Sweet220. It's in Detroit, struggling. Okay. Then a TikTok account named Chow Down Detroit. Kid goes rolling in there. Goes in there. There doesn't. He just visited them, okay. He gave him some love on their. He said their cupcakes were amazing. Business went crazy because a kid put it on his Tick Tock. The power that some kid has. They kind of know it too. They kind of know it now. These are outliers.
Mo
Some of them are getting paid for it.
Rod Ryan
But he went in there and he said organically, you know what? These cupcakes are great. I need to tell you guys, you know, know, I'm sure he probably said something to, you know, I like to keep. To keep it real with you guys. I think, you know, that usually that's the line.
Mo
If you have a food blogger that you follow, you follow them because you trust them.
Rod Ryan
The owner said that since the shop, since then, the shop is selling over 2,000 cupcakes a day. And they've actually brought in extra help. No way. Because of a kid's TikTok. The kid just put up a talk and said, these are really good cupcakes. And then boom. I like to keep it real, you know, I like to keep it real real with you guys.
Mo
Thanks, Rod.
Rod Ryan
You know, a lot of you've been asking and I like to keep it real with you. So I like the stories where. Okay, this is a good thing. This is a great thing. This kid may have single handedly saved this bakery's small business. Yep, they were gonna close. Here's bush on the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning. Rob Ryan show on this tattoos day. Good morning. Thank you guys for hanging out with us today. I got a decision to make.
Mo
Is everything okay?
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Alex, you never got into Euphoria, did you? Did you ever even watch one episode?
Alex
No.
Rod Ryan
I don't know where I was at in my life. I was in a weird spot. The year was 2019 at a one year old daughter a And I turned on this television show, euphoria and I went, jesus Christ, I cannot believe I just had a kid. Bringing a kid into this world after seeing these high school kids.
Mo
That's what the show's about.
Rod Ryan
Drugs and then drugs and then more drugs and then sex and then just being complete. The kids are so hateable, every one of them. And I watched every episode and then I watched the second season and it got. And it got even. Even weirder.
Mo
That's what Alex does hate. Watch.
Rod Ryan
This is where girls, I think Zendaya, Zendaya, Zendaya. Like, look what a huge star she's become. I don't think this was. But that was certainly Sydney Sweeney's launching pad.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
And that Jacob Elordi, that's why you were watching that big tall guy. He's. He's the weirdest guy in the whole show.
Mo
Oh.
Rod Ryan
You know who his dad was? Eric Dane, who just passed away.
Mo
Oh.
Rod Ryan
So I don't know if he was around for filming. Euphoria starts on this weekend.
Mo
A new season.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. I need to walk away. I need to walk away.
Mo
You're our Euphoria guy.
Rod Ryan
I think I can walk away. It premieres on Sunday. I don't know that I have room in my life for this. It really. It made me so barfy. What these kids were doing. I. You said I hate watched it.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, that's exactly what I did.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Everybody was so hateable on the show. Like, like this. The succession. They were such jerks. Everybody was such a jerk on that show. Succession. And then it's like it went away. I'm like, oh, I miss those.
Alex
I like when people were like, I don't like succession because there's no likable character. Like, I think this is the point of the whole show is that they're not likable.
Rod Ryan
Every one of them was so terrible. They were great at being terrible people. And I think the kids, which they're not kids anymore. Anymore. I don't know how they're going to transition this show. It was 2019. They were in high school, doing it forever.
Alex
Where they're just like this 35 year old. Yeah.
Rod Ryan
It's a high school kid. I don't know if they're gonna try to pull them off being in high school. I don't know anything about it. It was 2019. It's seven years ago.
Alex
I hope they try.
Rod Ryan
These kids were already all out of high school when they were filming it.
Mo
What the plan is, I don't, I
Rod Ryan
just, I don't read up on stuff like that. I just, I'm just giving you a heads up. That euphoria starts.
Mo
Got it.
Rod Ryan
And they're saying everybody's too big for that show.
Alex
Do it like Grease.
Rod Ryan
Oh my God. Are you kidding me?
Alex
John Travolta looks like a high school senior.
Rod Ryan
Rizzo was 30 years old. Rizzo was 30 Years old at the
Alex
five o' clock shadow.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
All of them. It's like you tried to pawn those off as teenagers.
Alex
Yeah, but they're wearing leather jackets. They smoked a lot of cigarettes back then. You couldn't tell.
Rod Ryan
I don't know. Does anybody hate watching Euphoria with me? It starts up again on Sunday. The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am, the buzz 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. That's breaking Benjamin. But you already probably knew that. Thank you guys for hanging with us on this tattoos day. I mentioned that Euphoria is back. It's been going a long time. Their. Their third season is going to be on television on Sunday night. Heather sends me an email. She's like, rod, I will absolutely, in all caps be watching on Sunday. I'm 53. You're not alone on this, Heather. I am alone. Okay? I'm a 56 year old man watching a show that I have no business watching. Okay. I have no business even knowing what Euphoria is.
Mo
Is it targeted to younger?
Rod Ryan
Yes, of course it is.
Alex
Broad's hip, though.
Rod Ryan
It was just a weird time. It was 2019. I got a little kid. I don't know why I watched it.
Alex
But then you just throw a show on and then you're like, I'm in on this show, I guess.
Rod Ryan
But it was Euphoria is one of those shows, Alex. I don't recommend it. It's just like, oh my God, I have a daughter. Oh my God, she. Is she going to do this stuff? You don't want it. Yeah. You don't want that in your life.
Alex
Oh, I, I will never watch it.
Rod Ryan
Don't ever watch it.
Alex
Watching it, telling me.
Rod Ryan
But you kept watching Sunday. Heather's going to be watching.
Alex
You'll probably watch Monday.
Rod Ryan
Mo. Good morning. Hey, what do you got for Houston's headlines? Hey.
Mo
The four Art famous two astronauts made history yesterday when their spacecraft swung behind the moon, taking them farther from Earth than any humans have ever traveled.
Rod Ryan
Yay.
Mo
They were taking videos and pictures. They also conducted what scientists called the most critical part of their mission, describing their own observations of the surface of the moon.
Rod Ryan
I saw, I know the last name is Kelly and there's two twin astronauts and Mark Kelly. Thank you.
Mo
You, thank you.
Rod Ryan
Another here. One of them was from here and
Alex
the one's like a senator now because
Rod Ryan
his wife, his wife got shot. So he, one of the Kelly twins was on. Yeah, he's got like the most time in space anybody.
Alex
He did the year in space, right?
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Remember he came down, he was a little taller and stuff.
Mo
Oh, that's so wild.
Rod Ryan
He said just to give you. And this is for Alex. This is Artemis 2. He said maybe Artemis 5 would land on the moon. Sorry.
Alex
Yeah. Then like, that's good.
Rod Ryan
Three more Artemis, two more Artemis missions, missions before.
Alex
What are we gonna do? Go like, like hang out around the solar system.
Rod Ryan
I don't know and I don't know how back to back they do these things, but he said it wouldn't be until 5 that we would land and then start talking about really setting up
Mo
shop on the moon in our lifetime.
Rod Ryan
After five, probably not five. God willing, it will be.
Mo
It's cool. Tonight is President Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the strait of Hormuz. 7pm Iran rejected a 45 day ceasefire proposal. They were going through mediators last night trying to figure something out and sent back a 10 point counteroffer demanding a permanent end to the war. Trump acknowledged that Offer and said it was a significant step. But get quote, not good enough.
Rod Ryan
That's not what he wants. Yeah. So tonight, 7:00pm, like he said, this is. This is your cut off. Wild. We'll see.
Mo
33 of American young adults still live with their parents. That's one in three. And that number has been climbing in recent years. And you're like, oh, mo. Pandemic.
Rod Ryan
I mean, I think you'd be surprised, guys. I probably lived at home longer than anybody on this show.
Mo
Yeah, yeah.
Rod Ryan
I was in my mom's basement saving money. I mean, what. What money?
Alex
I mean, you were not spending money,
Rod Ryan
you know, all through college. I'm in my mom's basement.
Mo
If you're like a commuter student.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In and out. Crawled in, crawled out.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
And then I even got a job. I'm doing afternoons in Buffalo on the cool alternative station, making $18,000 a year and still living like I'm the guy in the radio and I'm in my mom's basement.
Mo
I feel like we make jokes about
Rod Ryan
that until I was 25.
Mo
Mom's basement.
Rod Ryan
25. When did you move out? College. And then never came back.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Or was there a boomerang situation where you came back for a little bit after college?
Mo
No, absolutely not.
Rod Ryan
What about you?
Alex
My wife and I graduated and we checked up with our parents separately for a year to work, get enough money to move in together.
Rod Ryan
Okay, so college, boomerang, home, here at home and then. Yeah, in together. Yep. I was that kid in the basement.
Mo
It's okay. Playing video games.
Rod Ryan
Failure to launch.
Alex
It's amazing how much money you can save when you don't have to pay.
Mo
That's kind of the argument. And especially with how expensive everything is now. And the states where this is a big deal are states where it's very expensive to live. Like California, we got.
Alex
We're the first generation with the worst economy then the generation before us.
Mo
We've been through a lot. Offset was shot in Florida last night. A rep for the rapper says he's recovering in the hospital, says he's fine. Two people were detained. No word on their identities or their motive. There are some rumors circulating online. Offset has six kids, including three with his ex wife, Cardi B. We are hoping for his best, but we remember his bandmate Takeoff, was shot and killed here in Houston in 2022.
Rod Ryan
That was at the down near the House of Blues in that area. That's right. They were playing dice. And then he wasn't the intended person and he still just took a Bullet.
Blinds.com Announcer
Terrible.
Rod Ryan
I mean, it's just silly.
Mo
It is silly. There's a new artist on iTunes that has 11 songs on iTunes. Top 100. And he's not even real. Oh, yeah. Eddie Dalton, an artist created by AI not only has those 11 top 100 songs songs. Also an album at number three.
Rod Ryan
You want to hear it?
Mo
Please.
Rod Ryan
So this person doesn't exist.
Mo
Correct.
Rod Ryan
AI created.
Mo
Not a person.
Alex
Not a person.
Rod Ryan
Just small little pieces. It's tasty in a bigger design. The older I get, the more that I know there ain't nothing wrong. People don't care.
Alex
It's like AI just do Chris Stapleton and then they're like, done.
Rod Ryan
People do not care that that's not a real person. They just like the song.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
That's it. I. I don't know what else to say. It's like. It's like these bands going around with like one band member remaining in the band. They don't care. They just want to hear those hit songs. They don't care if it's the original people playing it.
Alex
It's not a hit.
Mo
1.4 million made.
Alex
It is a hit.
Rod Ryan
11 songs in the top 100 right now.
Alex
Yeah. By an AI aggregated.
Rod Ryan
Yes. Counter. Yeah. People don't care.
Alex
Most of this.
Rod Ryan
It's wild.
Alex
Probably AI streams.
Mo
Those are Houston's heads.
Alex
That's how they get us.
Rod Ryan
We put up a link to this artist. Don't help.
Mo
Catchy song.
Rod Ryan
All right, what happened last night in college hoops?
Alex
No AI involved, but the Michigan Wolverines are the new king of college basketball. They beat UConn 69, 63 in the national championship game. It's their first basketball title since 1989. And the NBA Rockets are back in action. Tonight. They're going to play the Suns out in Phoenix. Coming into this game, they're one and a half point underdogs. Tip off is at 10 o' clock. And you can hear it on our sister Station News Radio740, KTRH. In baseball, the Astros lost the Rockies last night, 9 7. They gave up eight runs in the fifth inning and weren't able to bounce back. Back from that. They're going to play the Rockies again tonight. Mike Burrows will be on the mound for the Stroz. Going up against Colorado's Kyle Freeland. First pitches at 7:40. And you can listen to the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.
Rod Ryan
The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am, the buzz 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod. Ryan show. That's Paramore, halfway point of the show. Good morning, everybody. Big hour. This is a big hour for us. Can't stress enough, man, how excited I am and how lucky we all are. Number one, Blue October. Such nice people. They gave us a trip to give to you guys to hang out with them in Cabo San Lucas and they're going to take care of everything. They're going to take care of the airfare for you and your palace or whoever it is you bring with you. I would assume somebody you like. You're gonna get the room. It's all inclusive. There's Blue October concerts and Blue October things and it's all Blue October fans there. They've taken over the whole resort in Cabo San Lucas. We're gonna give you a chance to, to win your way in and go into the ocean with Blue October. We're gonna play a little game. You gotta find me that music. The five Second Rule game. I've been singing it all morning because I knew we were going to play the game. I've been singing it in my head all morning long. It's the catchiest jingle that we've ever come up with on this show. I mentioned that kid that single handedly saved a bakery because he, he put them on TikTok. And then this bakery was on the brink of closing. This influencer goes in, says that the cupcakes are great. He's so trusted. Did he turn the whole business around? The business is now hiring people to keep up with the demand. Do they keep that going? Is it sustainable? I don't know.
Mo
We don't know.
Rod Ryan
People have thoughts on that. Daniel says there was a similar story here locally in Humble. The restaurant was named Sabino's. They were about to close till someone posted about them on Facebook. And then everything turned around for that
Mo
restaurant and they were able to keep open. They're still open.
Rod Ryan
Stay open.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Now that's. That's the good side of this. James says. Rod, I hate this story. We got this little taco place. It's right near us. It's awesome. But it's always been our little hidden gem. Yeah, until a couple of TikTok reviews. Now it's so busy we don't ever get to eat there anymore.
Mo
Yeah, that is a bummer. But you have to cheer for the guys that own the place.
Rod Ryan
You have to be a fan if you really do love that place. You got to be happy for them. They got it. You want them to be around, right?
Mo
You were there from the beginning Just tell everyone.
Rod Ryan
It's like when a band gets big.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Oh, yeah. I had their. I had their demos.
Mo
You know, I saw them in a bar in Katy, Texas. Yes, I have it.
Rod Ryan
First person to see them. It's really cool. I don't even like them anymore.
Alex
They're huge.
Rod Ryan
Like, you're not happy about their success. I understand that, James.
Mo
I get it.
Rod Ryan

What's up, y'? All? It's Mo. And it's a huge day because Starbucks is introducing a brand new Starbucks energy refresher. And you're like, mo, we already know the refreshers, y'. All. These are caffeinated. Yes. Those same bright, fruity tastes you already love, love, love, but with a little boost, you know what I'm saying? We love the pink drink, right? We love the strawberry acai. Those flavors, we already know them. They're sticking around, but with a little extra kick. It's caffeine. And they're rolling out new flavors today too. So hear me out. I told you, it's a big day. I actually think I'm headed straight from here and I'm gonna try the Mango Strawberry energy refresher. Sounds great, right?

know if they tell you, you'll tell everyone. They know you're not really good at secrets.
Rod Ryan
The Strokes. We now know they're going to drop a new album this summer. It's called Reality Awaits and there's no date for that yet. The fact that there's a New album coming. That means new music on that album. When do you start introducing us to those songs? If the album's going to come out this summer, this is a prime time to start, like, leaking songs. Something's happening with the Strokes. I don't quite know what. What's interesting is, Alex, you're a Strokes guy, huh? Yeah, they. They're. If you look at their Instagram, they're playing every festival. The big names that we all know, Coachella, Bonnaroo. And they got the biggest font, okay? They're playing. Playing some Minnesota Yacht Club. Their font is bigger than Cage the Elephant, bigger than the Black Keys. They're up there with Matchbox 20 and the Lumineers. Then they're playing Shaky Knees. They got big font on that one. The font. What I mean is those. We all see those, like, concert. Those posters for the festivals. The Strokes are now the largest font on the day that they play. They're the headliners. Yeah, that's what the Strokes, they're big now. They're big. Shaky knees. Summer Sonic festival, Outside Lands Festival something in Asbury Park, New Jersey. There's something called Just Like Heaven, where they're like the very top of that one over LCD sound system, which is huge in that area. Yeah, they're headlining everywhere. They're going to be out at every single, single big major festival in America. They got a new album coming out. Everything's coming together, I'm telling you. I don't really smell it, but there's something in the air. There's something going on with the Strokes today. I wish I could tell you more. I don't know. I just know that I feel like somebody's keeping something from me. Do you know?
Alex
No.
Mo
Alex is a huge fan.
Rod Ryan
You're the fan.
Alex
I want to know.
Rod Ryan
You're the. And then you're.
Alex
I knew I would tell you.
Rod Ryan
You know what else you are, man? You're a secret Reddit guy. You don't talk about it.
Alex
I'm not a secret Reddit guy. I'm very open about it.
Mo
He is open about his Reddit, but he gets. He gets down on the Reddit. If you ever needed to know anything, you just ask Alex. I'm like, alex, can you Reddit that for me?
Alex
Find news on that, would you?
Rod Ryan
Are you looking at subreddits for.
Alex
No.
Rod Ryan
This band, I have not been. Okay, so you're. You're an open, open air Reddit guy. You, like, you're out there, you're in the open, that you're a Reddit guy.
Mo
Guy. Well, he's got multiple Reddit accounts. Just a burner one.
Alex
A couple other stuff.
Rod Ryan
When you. If you hear something about the Strokes, would you tell me?
Alex
I'm looking right now.
Rod Ryan
Maybe you wouldn't tell me.
Alex
New album out this summer.
Mo
Summer.
Rod Ryan
That's what Mo told me.
Mo
I already knew that.
Alex
I mean, that's really just. That's what I'm seeing.
Mo
No release date, no track listing, no singles.
Rod Ryan
Speaking of. Of festivals.
Alex
No, it's.
Rod Ryan
It's London's wireless festival.
Mo
Oh, that's the Kanye one.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Anheuser Busch is now pulled out.
Mo
All that.
Rod Ryan
So what was it? Pepsi.
Mo
Pepsi was the first one and then one of the telecom companies.
Rod Ryan
A big one.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
These are like where you get your money to put on the festival. Anheuser Busch has now pulled out of London's wireless festival because Kanye west is performing. Organizers losing three major sponsors have mean big money here. They. They're holding firm.
Alex
They're.
Rod Ryan
They're not removing Kanye from that festival.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Is anybody stepping up now that is. Is there an advertiser that's stepping up now that Kanye is on the bill? Is anybody coming to the Busy bringing any advertisers to the party? That would be risky for any business. Almost any business. What are you laughing? You the weird evil grin when I said that.
Alex
German companies like Volkswagen.
Rod Ryan
Oh, boy. I knew you were gonna go there. All right, Strokes. It's in the air. Something. I don't know, something going on. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative, and the Rod Ryan morning show.

Rod Ryan
Rod Ryan show. We got one more hour together. I got Black Rose tickets for you. How about that? Whiskey Myers is on that bill. That's at an Aug. 8 show at the Woodlands. And then Jet tickets on know the show today. So still some opportunities to get in on some great things. Tomorrow at 7:20 is when we'll start talking again about getting out to Cabo San Lucas with blue October and getting qualified for that trip. Everything's paid for, right?
Alex
So great.
Rod Ryan
Partly cloudy skies today. 10 chance of rain. Highs of around 78mo. You got one more in you over there?
Mo
I do.
Rod Ryan
Okay. What do you got for Houston's headlines?
Mo
Well, we're celebrating the moon rod, the four Artemis, or. Yes, the four Artemis. Two astronauts made history yesterday when their spacecraft swung behind the moon, taking them farther from Earth than any humans have ever traveled. They took pictures, they took videos. It was cute. They also conducted what scientists called the most critical part of their mission. They described their observations of what the surface looked like. The crew's busy day continued with another first for humans. Orion aligned with the sun and the moon, putting the crew inside a total solar eclipse. In case you missed it, allergy season is, in fact, longer. We're all feeling it. One third of Americans, in fact, are feeling it. And if it feels like your allergies are getting worse, you're definitely not wrong. So an allergist at University of Michigan Health explains, in general, allergy seasons are expected to be longer as time goes on. They're expected to get more severe as the world continues because of climate change. Right.
Rod Ryan
I feel for you. Well, okay. I feel for you guys. That struggle with the allergies. Man. Man. It's a terrible existence. It's awful. Yeah, it's awful. I feel very, very fortunate. I mean, you know, I'm. I have my things that I'm allergic to, but it doesn't ruin my.
Mo
It didn't. Thank God.
Rod Ryan
It doesn't ruin me.
Mo
You feel it come and go?
Rod Ryan
Yes, yes.
Mo
But there's people that have to get shots, like, weekly.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. And that's a. That's an awful thing.
Mo
It is. What do you do after Ozempic? Well, you get a divorce, of course.
Rod Ryan
Get skinny, hot and leave your spouse.
Mo
Exactly what this new study is about.
Rod Ryan
Come on.
Mo
It looked at 12,500 married patients. These patients were getting skinny based on getting that gastric band procedure. More than 14% of those people divorced
Rod Ryan
within six years because they got skinny and hot.
Mo
Yep.
Rod Ryan
They're like, I'm in another elite group now.
Alex
Unbearable because of the way they changed. And their partner was like, I'm out.
Mo
Or they're hungry. I don't know.
Rod Ryan
Okay. Alex is switching it around. Shut up about, like, oh, I can't eat that now. Yeah, that's the study.
Mo
They're becoming more social. They're trying to live a healthier life, and their partner isn't on board. Then. Bye.
Rod Ryan
So if they're taking this lap band information, do they think that it applies?
Mo
That's why they say OIC like they think, obviously we don't have enough research yet. We haven't gotten that far. Yeah. They're calling it the weight loss effect.
Rod Ryan
People are getting divorced.
Mo
They are.
Rod Ryan
Because they're in a new skinnier category. I'm not like you anymore. I look awesome.
Mo
Look at me. Yeah, that's kind of sad. CBS announced Stephen Colbert's replacement after the Late show with Stephen Colbert ends May 21. Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen is going to take over. Byron is paying for this time slot. He's also paying for the hour after. Well, where he will air? Funny you should ask.
Rod Ryan
Which I think that might already be on the air.
Mo
Is it.
Rod Ryan
I'm so out of the late night.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Because it's late night. But whatever came on after Colbert is gone. Right?
Mo
I mean, if he bought this slot, he gets to put whatever he wants in.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Byron Allen's an interesting guy. Go look up.
Mo
Go read like a magic maker in Hollywood when it comes to comics. It sounds like the more I'm reading
Alex
about him sounds like a NASCAR name he started.
Mo
It does, doesn't it?
Rod Ryan
I think his claim to fame is he was. When he was 18, he was the youngest comedian that Johnny allowed to come on the Johnny Carson show.
Alex
Oh, really?
Rod Ryan
Nobody that young had done standup. Not. Not Eddie Murphy, nobody. Byron Allen got the invite. Johnny liked him and never allowed anybody that young before that young. So he. So that was where he got his start. Then he was on a show called Real People. And then I. Obviously he invested his money very well. He stayed in that comedy space. I remember him when I was a little kid. He was very funny, but he just is. You said you. You brought up Tyler Perry. He's like the Tyler Perry of comedy. He just. He's a mogul.
Alex
Well, you're like, what does Tyler Perry do? You don't know 100 exactly what he does, but he does a little bit of everything. And he's always in charge of what
Mo
he's hand in something and he's got a lot of money.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Okay. Byron Allen. The Strokes announced their seventh. Seventh studio album called Reality Awaits.
Rod Ryan
When can I hear it?
Mo
It is making Rod very itchy, but it's not due out till the summer. Rod. They revealed their project with a short teaser video. It's on social media. An image of a vintage car and the message in the flesh. It's even sexier now.
Alex
This is. Been doing some digging on the Reddit. Okay.
Rod Ryan
This is an old song, by the way.
Alex
You should know this. Bad decision.
Mo
No, because there's no release date, no track listing, and no singles announced.
Alex
Okay, so on Reddit, 13 hours ago, our indie heads said, the Strokes sent me this cassette that they signed up for. Last week they sent a cassette. It says 82, 100. Then on the other side, it says Going shopping on it. And then it has just like the little yellow envelope that they were sent with it. It says it's got a stroke sticker on. I would imagine the name of. Maybe they were the single on this. The first single might be Going shopping. Because that's on a cassette.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
That's what I'm putting together.
Rod Ryan
What's a cassette?
Alex
A cast.
Mo
Excuse me?
Alex
Put it in your car. It's like the. The poor man's eight track.
Rod Ryan
Of course I know what a cassette is. Yes, sure.
Mo
You're so dumb.
Alex
Yes, that's what I got.
Rod Ryan
All right.
Mo
What do you think's going on?
Rod Ryan
Something.
Mo
Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
There's just like too much happening. Feel it right now that you can tell they're. They're going to make a move. Yeah. It's like a lion getting ready.
Mo
Get our hands on a cassette.
Alex
On a cassette. Dude, I should have signed up. We didn't sign up. I didn't know.
Rod Ryan
National championship game last night. Yeah.
Alex
The Michigan Wolverines, the new kings of college basketball. They beat Yukon 69 to 63 in the national championship game last night. It's their first national title in basketball since 1989.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
And in the NBA, rockets will be back in action tonight. They're going to play the Suns out in Phoenix. They're one and a half point underdogs heading into this one. Tip off will be at 10 and you can hear the game on our sister station news radio740, KTH. In baseball, the Astros fell to the rockies last night 9 to 7. They gave up eight runs in the fifth inning and weren't able to bounce back from that. They'll play the Rockies again tonight. Mike Burrows is going to be on the mound for the Stroz, going up against Colorado's Kyle Freeland. First pitches at 740 and you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.
Rod Ryan
Most stumped our guys this morning. Fresh out of bed, head to head. I'd like to think that I would have got that question right. Which one the Michigan mascot. Mascot is that starts with a W
Mo
And Alex had already said it once in the morning before we played the game.
Rod Ryan
The question was, what is the mascot for Michigan that starts with a W? And the guy goes the Badgers.
Alex
Wisconsin Badgers.
Mo
Close.
Alex
Same conference, right?
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
So. All right, well, then I feel better about that answer. I. I like one of the coolest
Alex
names in all of college.
Rod Ryan
The Michigan Wolverines. Yeah, I think I would have got that right. Boy, it was a really good fresh out of bed, head to head. Is that podcasted yet?
Alex
It is. Oh, check it out.
Rod Ryan

Rod Ryan
Back here. I have the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Thank you for rolling with us on this tattoos day. I got black Crows tickets coming up for you in just a little bit. Rick is asking me if. If the astronauts called John Moore after they did take off. We talked about the toilet broke, right? Oh, we talked about that. I don't think they called John Moore, but, you know, call John, get more Artemis 2 on its way like back home now, right?
Mo
Yeah. They land in the ocean on Friday,
Rod Ryan
slingshotting around the moon. They went to the dark side of the moon right after takeoff. There was a problem with the toilet and they weren't able to go number one for the first six hours that they were up there. And apparently this didn't affect number two. Now, I've been to NASA like you guys have, and you know the space toilets they show you, you know, it's on the tour for some reason. They could go two, but not one.
Mo
I mean, they're different.
Rod Ryan
They sure are. One's a one and one's a two.
Mo
A liquid and a solid, which I think matters with gravity and such.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. So in zero gravity, airflow is what makes the toilets work. Okay, so a fan broke and one astronaut. We know because you can't keep anything from the public. One Astronaut had to use a backup bag or something. But six hours in troubleshooting, there's a
Mo
camera on them all the time.
Rod Ryan
Right. And six hours after troubleshooting the astronauts were able to repair it. And then the toilet was a go.
Mo
That's good.
Rod Ryan
Six hours, the toilet. So they. NASA took care of that. But I'm sure if it was any longer they would have called John Moore for sure. And then they would have probably came up with a solution for sure. Thank you for asking about that. I'm back in the eagle business. The real bald eagles. Not I, I wouldn't bring up the football team around you, but Big Bear Lake in California. Bald eagles are back.
Mo
Back.
Rod Ryan
Eagle Cam, baby Eaglets. The whole thing. Three things you must see today.
Mo
This is your business.
Rod Ryan
I do like it. I do like checking in with the eagles.
Mo
Yeah, the bald eagles and then strictly the eagles. Or did you watch like the giraffe cam as well? When we were waiting for the giraffe to have the baby?
Rod Ryan
I didn't really get. I didn't really get off on the giraffe cam.
Mo
Okay, so just eagles. I just wanted to like.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Were you not here the last time that. Eagles, Eaglets and the eagles Big Bear.
Mo
I vaguely remember it.
Rod Ryan
Big Bear Lake in California. There's two new healthy eaglets. Both hatched within 48 hours of each other. Mom and dad. Or better known as Jackie and Shadow. Why would you give one like a human name? I mean Shadow's a human name. There was a guy, it was a famous DJ when I was a little kid. Shadow Stevens. But Jackie and Shadow.
Alex
Shadow from Homeward Bound.
Mo
Oh, sad.
Rod Ryan
Oh, Shadow was the name. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Alex
The old dog.
Rod Ryan
But they're. The eaglets are getting their first feedings now. And you know, they're trying to hold their heads up and they can't really like support their little bobbly heads. They got floppy heads and everything else. I'm back in business with Eagles. Eagle Cam.
Mo
Jackie. Jackie is the name of a volunteer at the park. Longtime volunteer.
Rod Ryan
And then that's why they named.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
The eagle Jack. Who? Shadow.
Mo
I didn't look that one up. I just looked up Jackie. Cuz we were confused about Jackie.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, Shadow Stevens was a radio guy.
Alex
No, Famous first lady. Patriotic.
Rod Ryan
I don't think it's name. Well, no, she's telling me who it's named after. But there's only one Shadow. Shadow Stevens.
Mo
There was a competition to name them.
Rod Ryan
Gotcha.
Alex
That eagle MC Eagle face.
Rod Ryan
Three things you must see. They are headed headlining right now. If you want to get in the eagle cam business? Back at it. A lot of people were checking those out. Last, last go around. I got an amazing Elvis shadow puppet. I got a guy singing in the staircase.
Alex
An Elvis shadow puppet.
Rod Ryan
It's great. It's really good. Okay. It's really good. You go look at it and you apologize to me.
Mo
I will not.
Rod Ryan
You go look at that.
Mo
There's no chance I have apologize.
Rod Ryan
You go look at that Elvis shadow puppet and you're going to go, rod, I apologize. That was really good. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I was going to. Three things you must see. I don't take it lightly.
Mo
Wow.
Rod Ryan
These are things you must see. Must shadow an Elvis shadow puppet. What are you giving away over there?
Mo
Oh, no, I'm looking for shadow puppets. We have a pair of tickets to see the Black Crows and Whiskey Meers. It's their Southern High hospitality tour and it's going to be in the Woodlands August 8th. Tickets are on sale now ticketmaster.com or you can win them. 713-212-5945.
Rod Ryan
All right, good luck.
Mo
Oh, you know it. I can feel it. I think it's best described as the mid morning fade. You know, we don't have time in our days, our busy, busy days, for any sort of lag. That's where Starbucks comes in and they are saving the day. Especially today because Starbucks is introducing a brand new Starbucks energy refresher. And you're like, mo. Yeah, refreshers. We know those. They're amazing. These are caffeinated. Yes. The same bright fruity taste we already love, but with a little extra boost that we definitely need. We love the pink drink. Right. We also love the strawberry acai. Yeah. Those flavors that we already know, we're already obsessed with. They're sticking around, but they're adding a little extra kick. It's caffeine. They're rolling out new flavors today too. I told you it was a big day. I think I'm headed to try the mango strawberry energy refresher. What do you think? They also have a Mango dream energy drink. Maybe I'll try that. I don't know. Let's be real. It's gonna be a game time decision when I get there. Straight from here. I'm headed to Starbucks to try the brand new energy refreshers. And if you get there before me, shoot me maybe, I don't know, a little message, a dm. Let me know which one you try. I'm so excited. New energy refreshers are at Starbucks New, new, new. Order one right now on the Starbucks app. Starbucks energy refreshers new today. You are welcome.

Mo
Thank you, mama.
Rod Ryan
Thank you, Ashley, for being a part of the show. Have a great time. I'll just tell you right now, I've never seen Whiskey Myers, but Black Crows are awesome live only because we've mentioned this festival. We've talked about this story several times. Kanye west was, was so you know where I'm going. Was slated to headline a festival in the UK called the Wireless Festival. We had heard yesterday Pepsi Cola and another big sponsor, I didn't, couldn't remember what it was, had pulled out of their, the money that they were going to spend as being a sponsor, Anheuser Busch. Today. This morning when I came in, I saw they had pulled out. Kanye west has been refused
Mo
entry into
Rod Ryan
the U.K. entry into the U.K. that's right. So I don't know if they won't give him a visa to work over there or something.
Mo
Individuals that pose a threat to public safety or seek to spread extremism, the government has not hesitated to act upon. Therefore we cancel permission for this person to enter the country.
Rod Ryan
So the Wireless Festival, you're not illegal in stolen land. But they, the only reason they're not having it is because Kanye, their headliner, can't get there. They're still not ahead of this saying, okay, wait a minute, a guy that was just recently hosting racist and pro Nazi and anti Semitic things, that's not why we're not having him. Oh, he can't get here. We're going to cancel our show.
Mo
Yes, exactly.
Rod Ryan
Oh, okay. Now they're saying, hey, listen, this stuff is abhorrent and we should never allow that. It's like, too late. Wireless Festival. It's too late. The only reason why you're canceling your festival is because, number one, all your sponsors left and then your headliner is not there. But now you're going to Say, oh well listen. These are terrible things.
Mo
That was the government saying that that wasn't the wireless festival thing.
Rod Ryan
That.
Mo
Yeah, the wireless festival is like yeah, our government will let them in. Bye. They don't care. It's very, very wild.
Rod Ryan
All right, let's go.
Mo
Alex online.
Rod Ryan
It's Alex online. 94. 5 the buzz. All right. What you got today?
Alex
Dude, Craig sent this to me today. So shout out to Craig. It's Artemis 2 tracker and you can track the space thing in space.
Rod Ryan

Mo
So mad talking about it right now.
Alex
Craig sent me this so obviously people want to look at it yet. So you can see.
Rod Ryan
Okay. What is this?
Alex
33 836. 837 miles from the moon because we're coming back.
Rod Ryan
You sound supportive of the mission.
Mo
He does not.
Alex
I'm telling you what the website is. I'm not supportive of this center.
Mo
Exactly. So he's so mad.
Alex
You do care. Craig has supplied you with a way to track it. You can go see how long the mission's taken. You can see all the things they've done by by just clicking on it. You can see like their day to day activities and then you can see how much longer they've got until they get back there. Right now they're traveling at a little over 1200 miles an hour. Pretty crazy.
Rod Ryan
Pretty fast.
Alex
Yeah, pretty fast. But go check it out. Artemis 2 tracker at the world famous rod riding show page the buzz.com moj
Rod Ryan

Mo
What's up?
Rod Ryan
Well, I imagine it's going to. Now everyone's going to pick up on this story that it's breaking news. He was supposed to be headlining this festival in the uk. They have denied his entry into the uk. They don't want him there. Like the things that you have said. We don't want you here. So they won't give him the the paperwork that he needs to get over there.
Mo
So yeah, they revoked it.
Rod Ryan
Tickets for the Wireless festival that he was slated to headline. I don't know who else is on the show. No idea he was headlining though. I mean it's also you got to look at like who else who's going to be on the show.
Mo
Like, can you separate, Agree to be affiliated?
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Can you separate yourself? You know, these big, big corporations are already pulling their money because they don't want to be associated with Kanye. Anhe Bush, Pepsi, whatever. The other big ones are pre sale tickets for the wireless festival were released. They went up on sale and they sold out immediately. So people want to see him and they're saying, hey, he's apologized. I want to go see this guy perform live. That's wild to me. If he could have got the paperwork. They were going to have a sold out show, a festival. They were going to have a big huge festival with Kanye headlining. Kind of wild. More on this, I'm sure, I'm sure of it. Guys, I hope you're off to a great start to your day.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
I don't get involved in the non alcohol drinks. I'm going to blow your mind right now.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
I don't love beer so much that when I don't want alcohol in it, I, I'll. I just, I want that taste of beer.
Mo
Oh, a non alcoholic beer.
Rod Ryan
And I'll go and get. And I'll put down a couple of non alcohol beers because I don't want to. Like, I won't do that. Like I would rather not drink.
Alex
I'll just have water.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Or you know, seltzer water. Like I just, I don't need to drink. I, I don't. But I imagine there's somebody out there that there. It's very helpful to them that there's non alcoholic.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Beverages. You know, mocktails are huge now for the younger generation.
Alex
Just like juice kind of.
Rod Ryan
Yeah. It's. You know, I get my kid, I get my kid a Shirley Temple.
Mo
You know, I liked the. Was sparkling ciders when I was pregnant. You know, everyone else is drinking champagne and you're like, oh, I was sparkling.
Rod Ryan
Felt like you were taking part.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Like you were involved kind of. There's something that they have alcohol out there that's d alcoholized where it starts A. And this is. There's champagne out there right now.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
There's champagne that's real champagne. They dealcoholize it. If you don't want to just drink cider. Okay. And the process of de alkalization is not very cheap. You're getting this premium champagne is expensive. If you get real champagne, I'm not talking about like sparkling wine and ros. I'm talking about real champagne. It's expensive. This is a champagne. It's a premium experience, but it's de alcoholized.
Alex
What's the price point on this?
Rod Ryan
100 bucks.
Alex
Okay. That's what I was going for.
Rod Ryan
Yep. There's a company that produces non alcoholic wines and de alcoholized champagne. A bottle cost $100. There's a wait list for it.
Mo
Must be, I mean, good for you.
Alex
You, if that's what gets you off or whatever. But like, I don't know, man. Have some grape juice.
Rod Ryan
There's sparkling ciders out there, like you said, that are probably eight bucks.
Mo
Oh yeah.
Rod Ryan
If you want to feel like you're a part of the group, just sparkling, you could still stay involved with everybody. I've tried a couple of the beers before just because I wanted to taste it and it's just like, doesn't make sense to me.
Alex
I drink a beer because I want an effect.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Want to just drink a beer just to have empty calories.
Rod Ryan
But I also don't sit around and I don't just like crack open a beer in my house and just have a beer.
Mo
Really?
Rod Ryan
No, I don't do that.
Mo
I like even like you're outside and it's beautiful and you just mow in the grass and drinking a beer.
Rod Ryan
Not really.
Mo
Huh.
Rod Ryan
It wasn't until I started hanging out with my neighbors. Then I started having like a couple of neighbor beers.
Mo
Beers? Yeah, in the driveway.
Rod Ryan
And that was the first time that I like started having just a beer like on like, you can do this. It's like that meme. It's like, hey, I just realized I'm an adult. I could have chocolate cake anytime I want.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
That's so funny that goes around like that. I just never even thought about just having a beer.
Alex
We'll get the kids to bed sometimes and I'll crack a beer. And you feel like you've earned it.
Rod Ryan
Look, we did this rewarding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the wine at the end of the day, I have friends that drink, you know.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
The nightcap thing, I never got involved in that. So I imagine, you know, hey, I don't want alcohol, but I'm going to have this, you know, na beer or whatever, that's fine. But paying $100 for a bottle of non alcoholic champagne, knowing that there's other ways.
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
If you got money to burn, then fine wine. It's on the food blog page. You want to get on the wait list for this, it's a C note for a bottle of champagne.
Mo

Starburst.
Mo
Yeah, I'll eat a Starburst. Like a Sour Patch Kid would probably be my choice.
Rod Ryan
Did you like it as a kid?
Mo
Yeah, but were you allowed? Yes, but I was a weird kid that when I was trick or treating, if we got like a craft or a pencil, I liked that better than the candy. Could you.
Rod Ryan
All right, this will tell me everything I need to know about you. Did you trunk or treat or did you go to houses?
Mo
No, we went to houses.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
They went to the cornfield in Indiana.
Mo
I'd rather have an apple basketball in candy.
Rod Ryan
There's something silent to the lambs about people that only trunk or treated.
Alex
I lived in, like, regular cities.
Rod Ryan
You got to go to a house, not know what's going on.
Mo
We definitely went to houses with.
Rod Ryan
You got to risk it, homes. You know, razor blades and the Snickers.
Alex
You don't know the razor blades I ate. They made me who I am today.
Mo
Look at me, I'm so strong.
Rod Ryan
The generation with the biggest sweet tooth, they say, is Gen Z, which makes sense because you're. When you're younger you're able to handle, like, sugar, a lot of extra sugar in your diets. There's fewer consequences than when you get older. Boomers say they like sweets the least. It's something that happens, and you evolve as you get older. The numbers, though, because I've always said, and I think most people know this about me, I. I'll use the comparison. Garrison. Chocolate piece of chocolate cake. Which? Chocolate cake's fine. It's delicious. I don't ever seek it out. It's there. Boom. Chips and salsa sold. I. I will take chips and salsa every single day.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Over a piece of chocolate cake, even. Alex, your carrot cake was wonderful, but chips and salsa, it's my jam. It's the next level.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
To me, it's next level bread.
Mo
Like, give me all of that.
Rod Ryan
So I never considered myself, like, they saw you have a sweet tooth, you know, until. I'll tell you what ruined me.
Mo
What?
Rod Ryan
For a number of years, I was doing. I was buying my food from nutrisystem. And you pick your breakfasts, your lunches and your dinners, and you go through the things, and then you pick your snacks.
Mo
Okay.
Rod Ryan
And there's tons of sweets on there. You know, it could be really dark chocolate.
Mo
This is like a diet thing.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Delivery foods.
Rod Ryan
Nutrisystem. Sure. You get a big. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Marie Osmond, all of that stuff. And then, I'm telling you, it trained me to want to be rewarded for that. That treat that I never, ever, ever. I never, ever craved. Sweets, meats, and that. Nutrisystem was fine. It was fine.
Mo
You lost weight.
Rod Ryan
I did. I did. If you like anything, if you stay strict on it and, you know, everybody's gonna tell me how much sodium's in all that stuff or whatever, it's fine. I did lose weight doing it, but that's what ruined me on. I was just thinking about, oh, I got a little peanut butter cup thing that's coming. That's, you know, like an Atkins really low carb type of thing. Thing. But that's coming. And I wanted that reward. And I started thinking about it. That's what turned me into more of a sweets person. I ate candy. We weren't allowed. I mean, we weren't allowed. We snuck it when we were kids. Of course, we could eat the. We were supposed to bring everything home from thanks. Or from Halloween trick or treating, and then have my mom go through it.
Mo
All right.
Rod Ryan
We were just piling that stuff in our mouth as we were running from house to house knowing that my mom was going to Take it and then ration in it. And then we were gonna have like one piece. And like, I mean it went on for months. Like Christmas. I was still getting a piece of candy in in my lunch. You know, she would give us one piece a day. The number. So it's not surprising that Gen Z and this isn't slamming Gen Z. It's just you're younger, you got fewer consequences. I think Gen Z says that it's the biggest sweet tooth youth. Generation 86 of Gen Z or say that they're a sweet treat type of person. 72% say they need one to six servings of sweets every single day. Six, that seems a little. Six is servings. Yeah, like six little reward things. Whatever. What are they rewarding themselves with? Cookies is the number one answer. Ice cream. Number two actually. Cookies and ice cream. Tide chocolate candy cake. Those are the top five favorite sweets. You can't do five of those a day. You can't do five or six of those a day. I mean, I hate people that can eat whatever they want and they don't gain a pound. Alex, it's not true. It's Alex.
Alex
Not true.
Rod Ryan
I just said I hate those type of people. And then I looked over at not true at all. His ass ain't big enough to stink. He can eat whatever he wants.
Alex
Put a lot of work in his body.
Mo
Rod, you're understanding a lot of work.
Rod Ryan
The guy can eat whatever he wants. You understand?
Alex
I hate running. I have to run all time so I'm not a fat pos.
Rod Ryan
Never had an ounce of fat on him.
Mo
And you could stop running and nothing would change.
Rod Ryan
Nothing.
Mo
Nothing would change.
Alex
It will change. It does. Every holiday.
Mo
No.
Rod Ryan
All right, what are you giving away over there for both the show?
Mo
