[Tyler Reddick]

Mow the show.

[Rod Ryan]

10% chance of rain and I see nothing over a 10% chance of rain all weekend long. Partly cloudy today, but highs of 88 today. Good morning Mo. What you got for Houston's headlines?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Good morning. The partial government shutdown may be coming to an end. The Senate unanimously passed a bill overnight that would fund most of the Department of Homeland Security. So TSA is what I'm hearing.

[Alex Canceroitz]

Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Late night deal was struck between Democrats and Republicans after Trump said he was going to pay tsm, GSA workers at the airports with or without the help of Congress. The deal will provide funding for all of DHS agencies except ICE and Border Patrol. And now goes to the House where it faces an uncertain future. We'll see what happens. Big headline yesterday. A double murder case that went cold for 36 years has finally resulted in an arrest. Houston police and the Harris County District Attorney's office yesterday announced that thanks to a tip in the cold case file and DNA evidence, an arrest has been made. A 64 year old man in Nebraska. On Wednesday the FBI got him. He's accused of the brutal killings of two 20 year olds in West Houston in the 90s. Those killings became known as the Lovers Lane murders. And you can only imagine what that family was feeling after going without answers for 36 years. It was crazy yesterday cassettes are trending

[Rod Ryan]

again, so I had to go back and check. 1983. Yeah, I think this was one of my earliest cassettes. Ozzy Osbourne.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Oh yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Bark of the Moon. Yeah, that Motley Crue Shot at the devil. 83, 82 was a big year for me for cassettes. They're coming back.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah. There's a company called MaxCell. Are they part of the OG MaxEl?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, like they made not only cassette players, but they made the cassette. Cassette itself.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

The actual thing.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

So what have they been doing since the 80s?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know what Excel does, I really don't.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

A legit question. They're bringing back the classic personal tape player.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Waiting for a comeback I guess.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Just sitting around in their cubicles with like their handheld phones.

[Rod Ryan]

Can you buy one?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

You can buy one. The players cost between like 80 to $100. And they have the headphone jack. They also have Bluetooth and the nice little belt clip for the old school feel. So you can walk around Rod with this on your belt.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait a minute. This might have been my first cassette. Quite riot. Yeah, this might have been my first one.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

80 to 100. I like that. And you can buy a five pack of blank cassettes for 15.

[Rod Ryan]

What's a cusset?

[Dale (Framing Contractor)]

I don't know.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I was trying to say it like you, and then I got confused. Assets. You're so weird. Netflix raised their prices yesterday for the second time in less than two years.

[Rod Ryan]

You son of a. Alex.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

The standard plan.

[Rod Ryan]

He knows why I didn't do it.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You make their prices.

[Rod Ryan]

You and Diana talked me into getting Netflix.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You would have got Netflix anyways if you wanted to watch something. It wasn't me making you do it.

[Rod Ryan]

I remember the day like it was yesterday. Yeah, it's him. It's Diana. They're both looking. Oh, come on, millionaire. It's $9.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Netflix.

[Rod Ryan]

They told me $9. They said Netflix was $9 and they made me get it. It was. You're an.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I didn't make the price go up.

[Rod Ryan]

How much is it now?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

It's gone up. Depending on what plan you have, either a dollar or two dollars you're paying and the price increase for current customers, AKA you, Rod Ryan, will increase based on your billing cycle. So you won't notice it just yet. That $1 on your bill.

[Rod Ryan]

I got bullied into getting Netflix by these guys.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

And here we are.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, this is funny. I saw the commercial. You did. I did see it.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I did it. Was it on tv?

[Rod Ryan]

I must have saw it online.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Megan the Snout Stallion. She's a snack. Nickelback Snacky. I don't know why they got shows rhymes with snack. It does. This is their new collab. Frito Lay bringing back their Cheetos. Flamin hot dill pickle flavor.

[Rod Ryan]

We were so visionary with our dickelback in a snack. Now they're in. Now they are in a snow commercial. It's funny.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

They. They do a song. I got a clip for you. Cheetos. Really want to let the world know it's only cause of rough when they come. That's why they beat us for a huge commercial. And this is how we remind you then. And then Megan comes on and she sings. It's good. We got a blog page up for it.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Very unexp duo. But I'M here for it. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Take it, Alex.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Rabbit or a bunny?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, As I guess. What's Santa Claus's name?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I'm sure people would love that question.

[Rod Ryan]

Santa Claus. Oh, are you writing? Stop writing. Don't use that. She's writing it down. Yeah, buddy. Sammy, he got you on both questions.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

All right.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Good job. Congratulations. Thank you. My man. Thank you. I feel much better beating some of the best.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. That's a three time. That's a three time hall of famer and hard working lineman that you just took out. Dude, don't think your power's getting restored. Next time it goes out anytime soon, Sammy's definitely gonna skip over your house. Hey, first time. First time in the hall of Fame. Let's add those Dave Matthews band tickets to everything else that you want already, dude. It was a hell of a run.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Thank you, Rod. My life is complete.

[Rod Ryan]

You're welcome.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

You're welcome.

[Rod Ryan]

I feel like you're thanking me personally for giving you the motivation you needed. Okay.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

I couldn't have done it without all week, from day one.

[Rod Ryan]

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

He did.

[Rod Ryan]

He is in a parking lot in Nashville, Tennessee. His daughter's cheering competition.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And the whole time I'm recording his victory speech. He's cutting in, he's cutting out. You gotta let me make two more edits. Do you know Alex?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Hey, Alex.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Hi, Mo. How are you doing?

[Rod Ryan]

Did you just talk to Alex for a minute?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Alex, I'm Mo. They have a cheer competition today in Nashville, Tennessee. So Eddie is sitting in the parking lot, but he still won. He's the winner in our hearts and in our minds and in Rod's hearts and minds. So go cheer team.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

And I'm really excited for the speech now that we're talking about.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Right?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Maybe the best speech of the year.

[Rod Ryan]

All right.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

So nice to have one winner.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm editing. I'm not listening to it. I'm just looking at the wave pattern. I think I got everything. I feel good about it, but he. He was cutting out bad. I said, dude, this is terrible. Thank God this didn't happen during your game.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

And that's when he explained the whole Nashville thing. So. All right, this is. This is what I came up with. The fresh out of bed, head to head challeng. Here's your current champion.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Okay, everybody, this is Eddie. And I finally punched it through. That's five wins for me. Making me the fresh out of bed, head to head hall of famer number seven for 20. 26. To me from day one. And Rod said he believed in me since day one. Let's see if he's there for me in the tournament of champions, as I just might take it all. There you have it.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. We got it done. Fresh fish on Monday. We'll be here. If you're thinking to make a move to get your get into this game, Monday morning would be a great time.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

Why don't you sing it for me, songbird? Go. Go.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

It's a fun fact.

[Rod Ryan]

Flashback.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

There we go.

[Rod Ryan]

No, it's not the flashback. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Here's a fun fact for you today. Good job, guys. That was a nice version. Friday, my way to hold down the egg.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Rod Ryan]

I know you guys have the little kids, and, you know, potty training is such a big thing. Little children pray for me. I know you're dealing with stuff right now, Mo.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

How about baby hummingbirds?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

What about them?

[Rod Ryan]

They know from birth to poop outside of the nest. Oh, geez. Whoa, wait.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Why does God make them like that?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Why does he make ours like that?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, it's just. It's. It's just preloaded in that they know not to poop inside the nest. They poop outside the nest. Kind of potty trained at birth. How great would that be?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Seems awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Wood frogs in Alaska, they can hold their pee for up to eight months during the region's long winters. Once the temperature goes back up, they go out and relieve themselves. And that built up urine actually helps keep them alive while they're hibernating. I'm obsessed with animals and peace with birds and frogs. Birds don't pee. This frog can hold their whiz for eight months.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Eight months.

[Rod Ryan]

How crazy is that? Finally, I can't quite. Well, I'll give you this one today because somebody might be doing this today. There's a rare old term for pretending to work while actually doing nothing at all.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

What is it?

[Rod Ryan]

To fudgel. That's neat.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Bring it back.

[Rod Ryan]

As in he spent the afternoon fudgling at his desk instead of finishing the report. Some of you may be planning on planning on fudgling today. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Nobody's fudgling here. It's very busy. Keep these guys on their toes. What you give it away.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

We have these flyleaf tickets. They're coming to bayou Music Center July 25th. You can buy them Ticketmaster.com or you can win them if you know this flashback.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, now the Flashback song, please. It's your fun fact Flashback.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

There we go.

[Rod Ryan]

Yesterday we talked about these cartoon characters that were originally named Jasper and Jinx. Alex said he liked it better. Should have kept him that. But they didn't say that. What did Jasper and Jinx become? Famous cartoon duo. 713-212-5945. It's now time for Rock out with your stock. Out with Captain Cash.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

All right.

Some local girl. I started following her on Instagram. She had the best voice. Countryish. She was wearing a big belt buckle. She nailed it.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I don't know how she landed that gig, but props to her.

[Rod Ryan]

There was a guy I saw maybe at Minnesota, somebody didn't nail it. It. Somebody. Somebody did not nail it. Yeah, it's just, you know, they just repeated a verse or something. It wasn't.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Oh, yeah.

Do we have to ban him from going to any games now?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

So he's very, very superstitious.

[Rod Ryan]

What? I mean, what a rock. Yeah. He had yesterday.

We did. We did. And he stayed to the end of the U of H game, too. He's a loyal fan. True fan. But we are banned from going to Astros games. I don't know, like, the rules, but it is. It is a couple days that we have to sit out before we're invited back.

He could have had. He definitely washes his polo.

He could have had one of the great sports days ever yesterday. And the complete opposite happened.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

We were hoping. I'm sorry.

[Rod Ryan]

Sorry, dude.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Sorry. That we didn't step up for our teams.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, he should have. He should have fanned harder. I just don't think he was fanning hard enough.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

That must have been it.

[Rod Ryan]

Kind of blaming him a little bit.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Okay.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

It's fine.

[Rod Ryan]

He can equal it. All right, quick break. When we come back, got a wreck check for. Listen, Astros play tonight. Astros play tomorrow. I'm going tomorrow.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I was just say maybe 30 wouldn't

[Rod Ryan]

have been T post 1 Lany Wilson post that I had to go search for because you told me you asked me if I had seen Laney's outfit from last night.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Holy cow, she looks amazing. Laney is back. She's back.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

She can also be training. But yeah, Taylor Swift is training. Trending. Star Fox is trending.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

What's that?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Fox McCloud from the video game Star Fox. You ever play that?

[Rod Ryan]

Do a barrel.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

It was. It was a really cool N64 game when I was growing up. He will be in the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie they announced. So people are talking about that.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Because if you incorporate anything that was in like a Nintendo style video game, people are gonna be nostalgic about it. So that's always gonna win. And then Will Wade is trending. He has agreed to become the next head coach at LSU for their men's basketball team. He was previously the LSU coach but got fired for, like, recruiting violations. Then he went to McNeese State. Then he went to North Carolina State for a year and now he's immediately going back to lsu. People are saying scumbag move that he's like turning his back on NC State so fast, but Lane Kiffin just did the same thing. So LSU's gonna have a hell of a year coming up where it's just like, we don't really care that you don't like us. Yeah, f you guys. We're gonna be good. And yeah, so that's what's training on YouTube by the buzz.

[Rod Ryan]

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Yes, it is.

[Rod Ryan]

Ah, it's six minutes late. Come on. You're never late to join the party. That is the Rod Ryan show every Friday morning. I now invite every single one of you to jump around with us a little bit. Okay. Get the blood flowing. Let's bring in the weekend with House of Pain on the buzz. Thank you for jumping around with us. 94. 5 the buzz. When we were talking about should we keep it, should we do away with it? Should it just quietly go away? One of my favorite emails was Rod, that kind of unofficially, officially, unofficially launches my weekend with you guys like it. It's my signal that they. There are happier times that I can put work behind me. We're close to being done working for this week. This is one guy. I know a lot of you work on the weekends, but this guy said you can't get rid of it. It's just, it's one of those things where it's like, it gets my mind right. I know that it's. There's a, there's a, there's a light at the end of the tunnel type of deal. Hope you're off to a great start to your day. Over to the phones here. Good morning.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Good morning.

[Rod Ryan]

Who's this?

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

This is mark.

[Rod Ryan]

Mark, your caller 10.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yes, he is.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Oh, hell. Awesome, man.

[Rod Ryan]

Congratulations. What do you. What do you. What are we giving away?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

311 and Dirty Heads, Woodlands Pavilion, August 23rd. These tickets don't even go on sale until 10am today. All right, congrats, Mark.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Y', all.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Thank y' all so much.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. This is the first time I've ever

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

want anything in the morning from y'.

[Rod Ryan]

All. That's awesome. All right, brother. Have a great weekend. Thank you.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

I was just. We kind of tend to all kind of get together after the Show's over at 10 o'.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Clock.

[Rod Ryan]

We sit around, put on the girls on the View and then do not

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

put on the girls from the View.

[Rod Ryan]

It just comes on because we have that channel on. And then all of a sudden Joy Behar all of a sudden is getting out after it, you know, getting her one liners in there. So we. But the four of us will sit in here. Sometimes the wizard comes in and we'll sit around and we just kind of, you know, gives us a chance to kind of catch up with one another. And I think I said something gas. We don't get into politics. We don't that's not what we do. We're very similar to what you hear while the mics are on. Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

According to Reddit. Shut up.

[Rod Ryan]

But I. The gas prices had come up. Maybe Chili was talking about. Because he's, you know, he's had car troubles lately and we were making fun of him in that little.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

The Bug.

[Rod Ryan]

The. The VW Bug. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I was talking about gas mileage. And I said, geez, you know, we're at the point where, you know, gas prices are up. And I said, do you guys remember? I go, it was. I kind of chuckled a little bit. Those Biden stickers where it said I did that and I would see them on gas pumps. And I even said, I go, I wonder if they'll go and make Trump ones. That day. Chili sent a picture. He goes, oh, my God, you called it. Look what I see.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And then I've seen two now.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. And it's like, look, I did that. And he's pointing to the gas pump. The gas prices, it's undeniable that they're up. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing locally for oil and gas people. I don't get into any of that anymore. Anymore. That. I don't. I don't get it. But the Iran war has caused gas prices to go up. There's no denying that. So other things go up. The United States Postal Service wants to impose what they say, and here's the, here's the word. A temporary 8% fuel surcharge for packages and express deliveries to deal with the rising gas prices. This is going to be more than just stamps going up. This is going to be Priority Mail. Priority mail, Express, ups, ground, all the stuff. Everything's going to go up. And when I hear a temporary price increase, it's almost laughable.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Dangling the gown.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Exactly.

[Rod Ryan]

Once they get used to that income coming in, they're never, it's never going away.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

You guys have the. All heard about the, the, the tollway here. When the tollway went up until we paid off. And then people that are old enough, they told me this is before I was here. It might have been Huey Lewis, but for sure, the band, the Bengals walk like an Egyptian. Just another manic Monday. They played on the Beltway. To open the Beltway. A band, the Bengals played plate on.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

On the road.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Where. Where did you put, where did you guys park? Where did you watch them from? Where. Where could you see them?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I have so many questions.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah. I. It's some sort of a, a lore that it was long before my time, but people have backed it up and there's like some black and white photos of it. I was told that when the beltway went up, you guys were told, we're just going to charge the TO until it's paid off and then it'll go away. No way is that stream of money just, we're gonna walk away from that. You know much money they make every single day on the Beltway? Tons. It's never going away. So USPS says a temporary 8% fuel surcharge. So look for stamps and all your mailing. If you're still mailing things out, that's going to go up. No announcement. They just did it because they can. FedEx and UPS are already are rolling in fuel fuel surcharges now. What else? Okay, Rod, I don't ship things. This isn't bothering me, but. Well, has Uber gone up? I don't know these things.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

It's just a non stop. Like Uber is just way more expensive than it used to be. When we first talked about Uber on this show, we were all blown away that you could get into a stranger's car for like eight bucks and get across the city, right?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Eight, ten dollars. Like oh my God, this is so cheap.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

They quickly realized like DWI are very expensive. So as long as we're cheaper than that, people have to pay it even if we charge them like $1,000.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. So I, I, I can't keep track of Uber and surcharges and surge pricing and all of that. But all that stuff has to be going up as well. And then what about the delivery, the food delivery to your home?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

That's doordash they're putting in there.

[Rod Ryan]

You don't want to go grocery shopping. You want somebody bringing that stuff to you? I do have you. Can you tell? Are they charging more?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Surely they are.

[Rod Ryan]

They have to be.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, they have to.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

They're hiding it. Probably. Even if they're not telling you about it.

[Rod Ryan]

So. Because, because there's a regulatory commission, I believe, that's involved with the Postal Service. They got to make this announcement. Everyone else can just like, hey, slide it in. We're sliding in more. Hey, gas is more. I'm not covering that. You're paying. The gas is more. I'm not paying if I'm paying more for, for gas, you're gonna pay for more. Rod Ryan's free beer Friday. Unbelievable. Better when I'm drunk on 94. 5 the buzz. 94, 5. The buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. It's Evanescence. It's free beer Friday. I got another case of beer coming up for you. Straight up at 8 o'. Clock. We'll do another case at 9, and then it'll be open phones Friday. You guys can talk about whatever it is you want to. On Mo loves going down these rabbit holes. This is the Bengals.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Oh, I did. I went down the rabbit hole.

[Rod Ryan]

Was I right on that? Did the Bengals play some sort of a free concert for the opening of

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

the Beltway here in July of 1989? They played a free concert on the newly constructed unopened section of the Sam Houston Tollway, Belt 8, to celebrate the opening. It says here that over 25,000 people attended the road party concert held on an overpass connecting 290 and the north Freeway.

[Rod Ryan]

Listen, I'm not saying that the Bengals weren't big and they had their moment. There's a Facebook post the Bengals never played to 25,000 people.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

There's Instagram detailing the event. There's a video.

[Rod Ryan]

Chris sends me an email. Rod, I was a teenager way back when. I went to that. Now he says it was a Huey Lewis show. I also threw out Huey Lewis. Did he also play?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Similar events, including a Huey Lewis and the news concert, were held around the same time to celebrate other freeway completions in Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my, Rod, I was a teenager way back when. I went to that Huey Lewis show. It was a lot less populated back then. We parked on side roads near Greenspoint area. So funny that this came up on the show. That's trucker Chris.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Hey, Chris. This is the thing. Houston had rock concerts to celebrate freeway openings.

[Rod Ryan]

Here's George. Hey, Rod. The band was actually Huey Lewis. Not. Not sure. Maybe the Bengals opened. No, we're talking about two different places.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Places, different openings.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, just a couple things to catch up on. Dale wants me to let you guys know, and I don't mind this at all. He's like, rod, if Uber's charging more, we the drivers, we're not getting any more money. And we're the ones that are actually buying the gas. So there's been no increase for Uber drivers. And they're the ones that got to put the gas in their cars to drive us all around.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Noted.

[Rod Ryan]

All right, so those are things that we've been talking about.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Here we are.

[Rod Ryan]

And then one other thing that we talked about on the show. Mo, you went to opening day.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Uhhuh.

[Rod Ryan]

And you had mentioned that there was a bald eagle as a part of What? The.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

The national anthem.

[Rod Ryan]

The national anthem.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

It was majestic.

[Rod Ryan]

And he went around.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah. The ballpark. Just flying free. I mean,

[Rod Ryan]

what's going on?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Why are we playing that? Alex.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so I asked you, I said, did Budweiser seem to be involved in this? And from. You were just at the game?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah, I was just.

[Rod Ryan]

Just a fan soaking it up because I saw the Astros were collabing with Budweiser.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Oh. In like a post on this.

[Rod Ryan]

And I said, okay, what's Budweiser's involvement? So I started thinking about this and.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Wait, you went down a rabbit hole?

[Rod Ryan]

No, it was sent to me.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Oh.

[Rod Ryan]

My girlfriend sent this to me and she said. Houston Naturals posted special thanks to Budweiser for bringing Lincoln the E Eagle to fly during the anthem of our home opener. The best commercial at the super bowl or during the super bowl was the Budweiser commercial where the baby bird came

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

out, turns into the eagle thing. Yes, I remember.

[Rod Ryan]

That's the same eagle.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Wait, what?

[Rod Ryan]

It's the same eagle from the commercial that Budweiser used.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Does Budweiser own this eagle?

[Rod Ryan]

No. Here it is. Before I get crazy animal people, thank you. This is Lincoln, a non releasable bald eagle in the care of the American Eagle Foundation. He was in the Budweiser super bowl commercial. He is not in Budweiser's care. He is used to bringing attention to, or he is used to bring attention to birds of prey as an educational ambassador. And he looked, and he looked sharp last night. Sharper than the Astros he looked.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I told you the best part of my day.

[Rod Ryan]

Celebrity sighting. You saw Lincoln, the bald eagle from the Budweiser commercial.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I was in the same room as

[Rod Ryan]

Lincoln and everybody that went to the game. That's who you saw last night.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Extra honored. I got goosebumps when it happened. I got goosebumps again.

[Rod Ryan]

So cool. Houston's rockin alternative.

[Rod Ryan]

What do you got for Houston's headlines?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Hey, the partial government shutdown may be coming to an end. Late overnight, the Senate unanimously passed a bill that would fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, including the Transportation Security Administration. So this deal was struck between Democrats And Republicans after Trump said he would pay TSA workers with or without the help of Congress. So the deal is going to provide funding for all of DHS except ICE and Border Patrol. And now has to go to the House where it will face an uncertain future. A double murder case that went cold for 36 years has finally resulted in an arrest Houston police and the Harris County District Attorney's office announced yesterday. Thanks to a tip in the cold case file and DNA evidence, an arrest was made. They went to Nebraska on Wednesday with the FBI and got this guy. Accused of the brutal killings of two 20 year olds in West Houston in the 90s. You might remember on the killings became known as the Lovers Lane murders. And just hearing their families speak out, like going 36 years with no answers and then finally getting. Getting something. Oh, it was chilling yesterday. Cassettes are trending.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Do you get emails when you say cassette?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

He does.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Okay, good, because that's not how you say it.

[Rod Ryan]

No, I get emails when somebody says a cassette and people ask, what's a cassette?

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Stop.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

That's how everybody.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Anytime I say something wrong, everyone emails me. So cassettes. I do have a speech impediment. There's a company called. Called Maxel Max Maxell. They're bringing back the classic personal tape player.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

You gonna buy one? 80 to 100 bucks.

[Rod Ryan]

I still have some cassettes. Cassettes? I think this was my first one.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Really?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. 92. 92. What were you doing in 92?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Elementary school.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I was banging my head.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

The new cassette players have Bluetooth and. And USB charging.

[Rod Ryan]

That's okay.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

They still have the headphone jack and they will still clip on your belt.

[Rod Ryan]

What they really gotta have is the little headset with the orange. Spongy.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Spongy.

[Rod Ryan]

The spongy ear dealios.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Very flimsy.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Can you. What if we all came in one morning or just wearing those?

[Rod Ryan]

So I know you guys are having.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

So cute.

[Rod Ryan]

I know you're having some fun with this. And this is a true story, by the way. Okay. I got a guy that sent me a picture of his rig. Nick Ambrose. Good morning, brother Rod. Here's my setup in the garage. You can see my Maxwell. And he typed it out. Cassettes in the picture. He took the picture for me. He said I still record from time to time on the radio. As a matter of fact, yesterday I recorded when Blue October sang Bleed Out. He recorded it on a cassette listening to the radio. Yesterday.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yesterday.

[Rod Ryan]

This guy's old school. I love him. I love him. I want to move in with this guy. I want to live in his garage.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

You're going to. I'm so impressed.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm telling you. What? Garage beers. Garage beers. I'm bringing my Quiet Riot cassette, and we're going to pound. We're going to pound some PBRs.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Great news that lovers. Bad news for all you Netflix lovers, because they raised their prices yesterday for the second time in less than two years. There's a standard plan with ads. It's now $8.99. Just up a dollar dollar. But then the standard plan without ads is going up $2. Premium plan, also up $2. So now it's 26.99.

[Rod Ryan]

Don't even look at me. Don't even look at me. Alex, you act like you would not

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

have watched something on Netflix.

[Rod Ryan]

Eventually, you.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You would have forgot it.

[Rod Ryan]

You're Tiger King.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Immediately.

[Rod Ryan]

You bullied me.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Happened.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You would have been like. You're right. I did get it for Tiger.

[Rod Ryan]

You and Dinah bullied me into getting Netflix.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You were gonna get it.

[Rod Ryan]

It was not 9.98.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Okay?

[Rod Ryan]

A month.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

And now it's 2699.

[Rod Ryan]

That was their. They were making fun of me for not having Netflix.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Netflix is the one that, like, everybody has.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't have on this radio show.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You had it at some point. You just never watched anything on Netflix.

[Rod Ryan]

We're bullying me. It's insane to get it. They're like the og. Look at this guy. Millionaire over here doesn't have Netflix. So I got it.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

And now what?

[Rod Ryan]

And now what? It's going up every other day. Every time I turn around.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You would have watched something you. You weren't gonna watch Strangers.

[Rod Ryan]

Stranger Things.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You weren't gonna watch Stranger Things.

[Rod Ryan]

Sending you a bill.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

You were to watch Stranger Things no matter what.

[Rod Ryan]

Any increase moving forward, it's on you. It's not my fault. It is.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I didn't make it go up.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Can we play this new bop, please? It's by Megan the Stallion and Nickelback collab that we didn't even know we needed.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so you want to hear the commercial?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yes, please.

[Rod Ryan]

Bringing back the flaming pickle Cheetos. Really want to let the world know it's only cuz it runs with nickel. That's why it beat us for a huge commercial. And this is. All right, here comes. Here comes Megan. Come on.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I'm obsessed.

[Rod Ryan]

I didn't wake up today thinking that Megan the Stallion and Nickelback was gonna collab Cheetos.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Flamin. Hot dill pickle flavor is back, baby. I'm picking up A bag today and I can't wait.

[Rod Ryan]

Guys. It's a funny commercial.

[Alex Canceroitz]

Commercial?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

It's amazing.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay? I'm always over here defending Nickelback.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

There's a full length music video. Yeah, it's for pickle flavored Cheetos.

[Rod Ryan]

They got their own blog page, links and guests. Go watch it. I mean run don't walk. To links and guests.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

It's really funny. Not like my Netflix bill unfunny.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Then cancel it. Are you just cancel it.

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Problem solved.

[Rod Ryan]

You've already introduced.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

But why not cancel it? What do you want if you're complaining about just cancer?

[Rod Ryan]

I had a taste of the dragon

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

K pop demon hunters that you're watching.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. All right. Sports.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

It was opening day yesterday and the Astros got shut out by the Angels 3 to nothing. They're going to play them again tonight at Dyken Park. Mike Burroughs will be on the mound for the Stro's going up against La's. You say Kikuchi first pitches at 7:10. You can hear the game on our sister station sports or news radio740 KTRH. Last night in the Sweet Sixteen, Purdue got by Texas. Iowa upset Nebraska, Arizona blew out Arkansas and Illinois beat U of H. They'll wrap up the Sweet 16 tonight starting at 6:10 when Duke plays St. John's at 6:35. Michigan faces Alabama at 8:45. Yukon takes on Michigan State and at 9:10 wrapping up the night, Iowa State is going to play Tennessee.

You told me you saw the bald eagle. Yeah, and then I said, I go. And I asked you this morning, I go, look at this. Astros, for some reason, they tagged or collabed with Budweiser. And I said, was there some kind of tie? And you're like, no, I didn't notice.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

There's. Yeah, was there.

[Rod Ryan]

It was a bald eagle at the Astros home opener last night.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Goosebumps all over my whole body when it was flying around.

[Rod Ryan]

Hector, what do you say? Was Mo. Even at the game? They played the Budweiser commercial and announced to the crowd that Lincoln, the bald eagle that we just saw in the commercial, would be flying through the stadium.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

No, it's not actively.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Not everybody paid attention to every word.

[Rod Ryan]

Come on. I'm like. I'm like, I wonder if it was the eagle from the commercial.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I literally got none of that. No, didn't notice.

[Rod Ryan]

But you were taken back by the eagle. Majestic. But no, Budweiser commercial didn't even cross.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I didn't see any of that.

[Rod Ryan]

I asked him, like, did they play Freebird? You're like, no, it was during the National Anthem.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah, I heard the National Anthem.

[Rod Ryan]

I said, I asked you questions.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Sorry for letting you down, Expert. Actually, I probably let Bud Light down more. Bud was.

[Rod Ryan]

He's like, was she even at the game?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Nothing over a 10% chance of rain today. Saturday and Sunday. Today, partly cloudy, high of 88. All right, six picker. What's trending?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

TSA is trending. Trump signed an emergency order to pay the TSA staff amid the partial government shutdowns. People talk about that.

[Rod Ryan]

Do you know who Clavicular is as a person?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

It's this, like, he's a streamer. He's the. Look smacking guy where you're supposed to, like, make your face look different.

[Rod Ryan]

Nope.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah, he's a weird dude, but he is under fire because he shot a dead alligator in Florida and was recording it, and so people are mad about it.

[Rod Ryan]

You're still trying to figure out who Drew Ski is? I mean, I'm behind on these guys.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Drew Ski's been around for a while.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I know, Cliff.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I particulars with the. The youths you're into right now.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I don't even know how to spell it to Google it.

[Rod Ryan]

He's in trouble for this.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

People are mad about it.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Oh, he's already dead.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah, they said it was dead.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

I don't know.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I'm not sure. Taylor Lautner is also trending.

[Rod Ryan]

I know.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Wait a minute.

[Rod Ryan]

You want. Can I tell you something?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I was team Edward when he was in Twilight.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know that. Can I tell you what I know? I found out today that Taylor Lautner is married to Taylor Lautner.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Well, yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Because his wife's name is Taylor and she took his last name. Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I have a podcast like Taylor and Taylor.

[Rod Ryan]

They're the Taylor Lautners.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Tay.

[Rod Ryan]

Tay. I was today. I was this morning.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

It's pretty cool.

[Rod Ryan]

I asked you about it this morning.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Why Is he trending?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Mr. And Mrs. Taylor Lautner are expecting their first child.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Oh, got it.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

They are trending.

[Rod Ryan]

I think that's why I saw it.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

They announced that they are expecting a child which they have to name Taylor.

[Rod Ryan]

Right. The story was Taylor Lautner, Taylor Jr. And they.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

We would know which Taylor they're naming.

[Rod Ryan]

I thought it was a typo. It said Taylor Lautner and Taylor Lautner are having their first basement.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

It's just one of those weird things.

[Rod Ryan]

That's got to be a mistake.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

That's what's trending on nine for five divers.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. All right, Go ahead, Mo.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Hey, we have got smack tickets. They are bringing their Rise of the Rock World Tour 2020 to the Woodlands Pavilion with Stone Temple Pilots and Dorothy. They'll be here May 30th. And you will be there if you're caller 10 right now.

[Rod Ryan]

And we've been rocking this morning. I've been throwing a little quiet riot today. Look at you. You're calling for Those Godsmack tickets. STP. What a great rock show. 713-212-5945. This is my new favorite song. The band is Return to dust. It's called bored 94. 5 the buz. 94. 5 the buzz. Guys, that's rock and roll. That's a rock song. That's what rock sounds like. Not this, whatever this new wimpy voice thing is with the drum machine and the overly processed guitar, whatever that's going on right now. That's a rock band right there, okay? Like, they could have been playing that in your living room and it would sound the same. That's what I'm talking about. That's a. It's a new band. It's called Fairly New Band, Return to Dust. A bunch of people have seen them open up for other bigger bands and we're just trying to help them out a little bit. Return to Dust and the song is called Bored. And yeah, I like it. I like guitars, bass and drums. With somebody that can sing. Throwing a full head of hair.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Chain wallet. I'm in. I'm in. Take me back. Take me back. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're off to a great start to your day. Mo's offering up some rock tickets. Godsmack, Big Rock. Stp. Are you kidding me? I was surprised when we had the guys from Blocktober in the studio yesterday. We, we started talking about them opening up for big bands. They brought it up. I knew they had opened up for the Rolling Stones and they told a cool story about meeting the guys in the band. Rolling Stones came and said, hi. Awesome. They opened up for Kiss. And I said, what was your favorite band to open up for it? And they said, both of them. Ryan said the same thing. They said stp? Yeah. When Scott Wyland was around. And I think it was, it was really Justin talking about how Wyland was not only he was a good singer, he wasn't a phenomenal singer. He was a really good singer. He was a great frontman. Justin's a great frontman. He's got all the moves and things

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

saying like entertainer, just like a. Really owned the audience.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I, I, I can see why Justin would like that. But Ryan said the same thing. He said, boy, being on tour with stp. They both remember that fondly. This new version of stp. Wynland's not around anymore. They're opening up for God smack. We're giving away tickets. Good morning. Rod Ryan show. Who's this?

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Jason.

[Rod Ryan]

Jason, Your caller number 10. Let's get you into a rock show, dude.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Hey, hey.

[Rod Ryan]

Come on. Come on, baby. Yeah. There's no drum machine. Kidding me. There's no laptop. There's nothing. There's no back backing tracks. These guys are playing live. Hook them up with some tickets, please.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Jason. The Rise of the Rock World Tour 2026. You will be there. May thirtieth Woodlands Pavilion tickets are on sale now. Ticketmaster.com for everybody else, congrats.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, Jason. Absolutely. Thank you, man. Have a. Have a great weekend, dude.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

You'll have a better one.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. Hopefully those Astros play a little better on Saturday when I go.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Come on.

[Rod Ryan]

So professor was. Oh, Alex has got the AI music ready to go. Or the technology music college professor at Chapman University in Southern California. He's kind of going viral this week. He may have done this last year, but everyone's picking up on it now. And he. You'll see this. Now that I mention it, you're going to see this guy. He's grading papers. Kids are using AI now, turning in papers. AI's writing the stuff. There's one word. He's got it down to one word, where it's almost a dead giveaway that AI has created and written your paper for you.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Any guesses? It's. It's just. It's not a. It's. It's not a crazy word, but it's just something that you wouldn't say. And there's a. There's a bunch of them, like, I'll just give you one example. Transformative. It's not the word, but it's one of the. Now they're starting to buzzword. Now they're starting to collect words, and they're looking at AI specific, the writing style of AI. And transformative is something that. I'm not saying that no one's ever typed it out. It is a word not in, like, a normal vocabulary, but nobody says it.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah, transformative.

[Rod Ryan]

And I guess, like, I don't know that I would be able to come up with that on my own to try to use that in a sentence. Yeah, but the word is moreover. The word. The word moreover.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

That gets you busted.

[Rod Ryan]

He said it rarely appears in casual writing or conversations. Conversation. So when he sees moreover in a paper, M O R E O V E r. One word. When he sees it in a paper or other communication from a student, he immediately thinks he's not accusing them of cheating. He's just saying AI is involved. AI is involved with the word moreover. And you listen. I've done a little chat. GPT. This makes sense. Sense to me. Now. A bunch of students jumped into the comment section, and they're fighting this. They're like, listen, we use these words, okay? Words like moreover furthermore or thus. That's another one. Thus.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I don't know, kids. I'm not Hearing you say thus, they

[Rod Ryan]

say they use those words on their own informal papers. But they. Even though they don't say them, you know, walking around.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Okay, so if you're typing something out and trying to be formal, you. You're going to stick in some fancy words.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. So the response was so big, this guy had to go and do a follow up video. He's like, I'm not disliking the students using AI Just don't be lazy about it. It's okay to use it as a tool, but I guess the fear here is becoming fully reliant on it. So they also revealed a few additional words that have a big uptick since AI over.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I'm dying.

[Rod Ryan]

Ready.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Can we try?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I use it Delve.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Delve is a big one. You can tell somebody sent you a fake email on and I just delete it.

[Rod Ryan]

Delve.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

If you ever have delve in there, I'm out. Furthermore, twice or more than I know that it was.

[Rod Ryan]

Robust is another one.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Unless you're talking about like food.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I was gonna say I read a lot of cooking stuff and robust is used ultimately.

[Rod Ryan]

Ultimately, essentially. Interestingly, that's hard. Interestingly, yeah. How would you use that?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I wouldn't.

[Rod Ryan]

Would you say interestingly enough?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Interestingly enough, yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know. Another application for that. Now phrases. Jesus Christ is our boss. AI Check this out. At its core. At its core.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Oh, yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's dive the into in. This is our meetings every Thursday. Yeah, okay. In today's rapidly evolving world. This is our GD boss.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

He's AI he might have programmed.

[Rod Ryan]

It's important to remember in conclusion, Structure.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Do them all in his voice.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, boy. The radio wizard is. Has anybody seen him bleed? Has anybody seen him bleed? Or does he leak oil? I don't know. I've never seen the man bleed.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Never.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

He is a robot.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, essentially, transformatively, the radio is moving forward. So transformatively we need to stay on time.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Rod, he might be AI Very likely he is.

[Rod Ryan]

He might be the first. What? What's this? What? Isn't Elon Musk getting rid of like one of the factories for the cars? And he's making the robot guys. Yeah, the robot people.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

What were they called? That's what our boss.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I remember.

[Rod Ryan]

Good God dang. We're living in Westworld.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I don't like it at all. This is what I've been warning you guys canceled.

[Rod Ryan]

This is Westworld World radio. It's exactly what it is. All right, open phones Friday. I Can't wait to talk to you guys. I can't wait to let you guys talk. What do you want to talk about? You guys talk about whatever, almost anything you want for that whole last hour of the show. And then we're gonna leave you. We talked about Blue October several times. We had such a good time with them yesterday. We're gonna give away Blue October tickets on MOW the show. But before that, there's beer, there's you. There's so much more. The Buzz rock and alternative rock are

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

used to the Rod ryan Morning show.

[Rod Ryan]

6 to 10am 945 the buzz sublime and ensenada mo. You were talking about a brand new Sublime song. We all were. And then you gave information about their new album. That was all on the music blog page this week.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Busy week.

[Rod Ryan]

So they released the title track of their upcoming album and what I heard from it is really, really good. I made sure the wizard had it. He's been busy, so he's got it in his possession. What does he do with it? I don't know. This Ensenada song is still really good, so I don't know. Do Sublime. It's good. It's a good position to be in right now. All right, open phones. So I'm gonna give away beer. Coming up, fourth and final case on Free Beer Friday. Thank you, Specs. And then I'll turn the phones over to you guys. It'll be open phones up until we give away those Blue October tickets before they go on sale today at 10mo Houston's headlines, please.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Thank you, sir. The partial government shutdown may be coming to an end. Overnight. The Senate unanimously passed a bill that would fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, including the tsa. Democrats and Republicans decided to come together after Trump said he was going to pay TSA workers.

[Rod Ryan]

We had a guy here that does trending on the show and I also saw this. What did Trump say that he was possibly going to pay?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Was that something that you mentioned in trending?

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

He said he was. He was going. I didn't say he was going to pay, but he said he was going to get them paid.

[Rod Ryan]

He's going to get them paid. Okay.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

He would pay TSA workers. He said he would, with or without the help of Congress. And that's before the ruling last night.

[Rod Ryan]

Can we not pay Congress the whole time that the TSA is not getting paid? Don't pay Congress?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I think that it's not fair.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not fair if there's a massive government agency not getting Paid. Take it out on Congress because it's on you. You're not getting paid while they're not getting paid. Correct.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

That's fair.

[Rod Ryan]

Then they would maybe get some things done.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I don't know.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

They would immediately find a resolution.

[Rod Ryan]

I just figure out the world.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Ryan for president.

[Rod Ryan]

No, never.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

If you're standing in one of those four and a half hour lines waiting to get through TSA checkpoints, Bushing Airport, we might have just gotten some good news. National news sources are reporting like live from Bush Airport and they're saying 40% of TSA workers are calling out. So they're also reporting that while we're waiting for news from the government to fund TSA, Bush Airport could be getting anywhere between 20 and 40 temporary TSA workers that are being reassigned to Bush Airport to help with the chaos. According to fly Houston.com I checked earlier this morning, Bush was still sitting at a three and a half hour wait. So I don't know. It's crazy. The whole thing is crazy.

[Rod Ryan]

Hobby. 10 minutes.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

10 minutes.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. Yeah, you said that this morning. And I was just like, wow, malls

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

are making a comeback, Rod. Thanks to Gen Z, traffic to indoor malls was up 4.5% last month. And they're using that as a positive. They're thinking, these kiddos, they want stores. So they're doing this survey, they're asking kids, you know how they shop. Shoppers between the ages of 18 and 24 bought 62% of their total merchandise from a actual store last year.

[Rod Ryan]

What's in the mall? Clothing stores.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I went this week.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

We were celebrating a milestone with the baby. And so we went into Bill. A bear.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I was like, kids, this is a mall. This is a mall.

[Rod Ryan]

Understood.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Here's where stores are.

[Rod Ryan]

When I was though Gen Z14, you know what Gen Z is now? When I went to the mall, the most important stores. Spencer's.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Had to go look at the.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Those still exist.

[Rod Ryan]

Titties. The posters. Do they still have the posters in the back?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

They had a slipknot shirts.

[Rod Ryan]

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

This. This is. This. This is. Gotta call and ask. So me and my wife visiting Blocktober by four or five times. My daughter loves her. Loves him.

[Rod Ryan]

It's.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

She's nine years old, all right?

[Rod Ryan]

She.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

I want to send her to the show. She does not want to take her because she thinks that he cusses too much on stage.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay?

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

This will be her first concert, so. And she loves Blue October.

[Rod Ryan]

My kid has seen him a couple of times. And she is now a believer in Justin. She's a Justin guy, my kid. So she just turned eight. There might be a word here or there, but I'll say this. There's a word here or there that comes out of my mouth in my house.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Same here, same here, or on the bus.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm just being honest.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

At school, I try. You know what I mean?

[Rod Ryan]

I try really hard. I'm at that point, Daddy, you know, like that. I. I try really, really hard. Yeah, it's. It's not gonna be anything. It's. It's not gonna be anything worse than if you're an average household dad stubbing his toe. I think I'm an average guy. Yeah. I don't think it's gonna be anything worse than that. I'll tell you what. I mean, Justin has kids now. I mean, he's. He's a rock star on stage. Okay? He's a different guy. Like, he's the same guy that was in here yesterday. Yesterday. The nicest dude on the planet. Him, Ryan, everyone, the nicest guys ever. But they go up there. You got a little swagger to him. And he's a Rock star. He gives you what he, he, you, you pay. You don't pay for the Justin that just comes in here and hangs out with you. You pay to see the rock star Justin. And he is all he's worth. The price of a correct, you know?

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Correct. It's almost like divorce, maybe.

[Rod Ryan]

I would say it's very appropriate. I'm sorry. You're asking a horrible person that question. I'm terrible. Take her, dude.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Take her.

[Rod Ryan]

Take her to the show.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

She listens to the old stuff. I'm talking about, like jump broke. All the old stuff. Loves that.

[Rod Ryan]

Dude. Take her to the show. Then she'll have the best time and you'll create a core memory with your daughter.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

And the lead singer, Buck Cherry tells a ten minute story, okay, about Paris Hilton and the, and, and, and positions and, and the whole thing. And I know Will is at the concert. I don't think it's his first show.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

But Will's turned out to be very adjusted. He's a brilliant songwriter. He was, he was brilliant in school. He could have done anything. I, I, I remember asking Hal's wife, like, dude, how did it go with that Buck Cherry moment? She's like, we just kind of, you

[Rod Ryan]

It was a simpler time.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my God. Steve, you. You must have. You lived in New Orleans.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Yeah, I lived in New Orleans probably for four years before Katrina hit. Then Katrina hit and work got crazy. Everybody was being escorted out and the National Guard is bringing us in because all the refineries were losing 30 to million a day.

[Rod Ryan]

Where do you live now?

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

I live in Dallas now.

[Rod Ryan]

How did you get. Did you get. I'm sorry, yeah, I'm saying, did you, did you get sent there? Did you choose that?

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

I chose it. I was working from 5:30 in the morning till 11:30 at night. And I just couldn't do it anymore.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

[Rod Ryan]

Listen, dude, thank you for all the years. Yeah. Fong Thursday. Wow. That's awesome. Awesome memories.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

So I'm. Obviously, I'm from Dallas and I'm in SoCal because a motorcycle that I built got to be in Dirt Bike magazine, so. Exciting times, dude.

[Rod Ryan]

Send us a pick. That's awesome. I want to see the motorcycle you built. Okay.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Yeah, man.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Story.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

We always used to go to KB stores.

[Rod Ryan]

KB Toys. Toys. Mo said K and Alex both said their favorite store. One of them was. Yeah, is it KNB or KB Toys? KB Toys.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Yeah.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

And they had like the running ferret outside in the. Like, it would just keep running around.

[Rod Ryan]

The ball. Yeah, the ball. Yeah, you're right. Okay. KB Toys. They remember that. I remember that too, Steve.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

It was a place called Hastings. It was a music and magazine store. Music and bookstore. Yeah. And then we used to row. We used to roam the halls behind all the stores and cause a ruckus and make out.

[Rod Ryan]

My kind of guy. Send me a picture of that motorcycle.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

There are back halls.

[Rod Ryan]

Pete is next up. Hi, Pete.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Hey, good morning, brother Rod.

[Rod Ryan]

Good morning, Pete. You're on open Phones Friday. What you got today

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

about the mall story. You want some stories for the mall? I got one where we would go to Almeida Mall and Baybird Mall because we lived in Alvin, Okay? So we would go there, me and three other friends, and we would try to get the most numbers. Because back then you didn't have cell phones cruising.

[Rod Ryan]

Shit.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

So everybody just got a pen and piece of paper.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Trying to get all the numbers.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

And whoever had the most numbers didn't have to pay for the beer that night. That was before we were 21. So we had to do the house parties. You know what I mean? But you didn't have to pay for your beer if you got the most numbers that night.

[Rod Ryan]

That day. I never had the balls to ask a girl for her number or anything like that. No. I had no game. I never have. I didn't. I. I hated guys like Pete, but I also wanted to hang out with guys like Pete. Maybe I would just get some leftovers or something because I was too scared to do it myself. Like, everybody needs a pee.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

This ones, too.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

We would get the bonus number when you leave the mall. We would. We would drive. We're leaving the mall and we're like, hey, look, there's Two girls right there. And we would just pull around and like, girls back then, they weren't like today. They. They wanted to see what you. You wanted. So we would pull up to him. Hey, we get your number, there's another two right there in the sack.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, dude, dude, I got the chick's number from Orange Julius. You know the one. You know the one. Becky. Becky's number. You got the juice, girl. Jarrett, now, why are we talking about malls? Just so everybody knows this isn't out of nowhere.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

No, you said they're on resurgence.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

They're up 4% among young kids, 18 to 24 year olds.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. Malls are on the uptick.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Jarrett.

[Rod Ryan]

Jarrett, you've been holding the. The next longest. Thank you. You're on open phones.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Hey, how's it going, brother Rod?

[Rod Ryan]

Good, man. What you got? I grew up.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

I grew up going to Baybrick Mall in Friendswood.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

And I was about 10 years old when they opened up the LEGO store in about 2008. I was there for the grand opening. I was a really big LEGO nerd. And I got the notification in my LEGO magazine as a kid. And I was. I ran down there as fast as I could. My parents. And it was the awesome, awesome time.

[Rod Ryan]

What was the. What was the penultimate LEGO set at that time? There's always one. The greatest one of all time. What was the greatest. What was the. The one that maybe was out of your price range, but you dreamed of it one day, so.

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

I always dreamed of getting the LEGO Death Star from Star Wars. That was like. I always had it, like, pinned on my. My desk at. When I was a kid, just in the LEGO magazine. I cut it out. I wanted that set.

[Rod Ryan]

So if I was gonna guess, I was gonna say probably something Star wars related. And six gazillion pieces. Did you end up getting it? Yeah.

[Tyler Reddick]

Did you buy it when you got older?

[Caller/Contestant (e.g., Eddie, Sammy, Greg, Mark, Aaron, Chris, Jason)]

Yeah, when I got older. Got a job. I finally got it.

[Rod Ryan]

Got that dream come true.

[Rod Ryan]

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

I was curious if you knew how

[Rod Ryan]

the Iowa Nebraska game turned out. Do we know how the Iowa Nebraska game turned out?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

There that. We got a sports guy.

[Rod Ryan]

Iowa 1. That's right. Thank you.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

You're an Iowa guy.

[Rod Ryan]

He just want to.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I state.

[Rod Ryan]

You just wanted to get that out there. Oh, he hung up. That's all he wanted.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

That's hysterical.

[Rod Ryan]

That's all he Wanted to say. All right, that counts. Jill, you're next up on open phones. Good morning, Jill.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Good morning, Rod.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, what you got for open phones?

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

So you were talking about the. The educational eagle that they had at the game.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. Okay. So. Yes, yesterday at the Astros opener, they had. It was the same. It was. Liberty is the name of the bald eagle, and it's the same eagle from the Budweiser super bowl commercial. And Mo. You saw it?

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I saw it.

[Rod Ryan]

You were there.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

I was there.

[Rod Ryan]

And it circled around. It just did like a lap.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yes. During the national anthem.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, that's all I know about it, Jill. What do you know?

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Yeah, so those birds are usually injured and they're taken by a wildlife center, but if they have, like a clipped wing or if they lose a leg or they get a clouded eye, then they keep them and they take them around to schools and all sorts of educational places and try to help them understand raptors and how to keep them healthy. And.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, so I saw something on the Internet because people were immediately. Because the Astros posted it. What a proud moment. What an amazing moment. You know, and that. Yes, that was the best commercial during the super bowl by far. And, yeah, somebody was asking on the comments. Well, it's a bald eagle. It's protected. How do you have that in captivity? And it explained that, yeah, this. There's something that this bird cannot be released in the wild. And then it is put to use to train and do all sorts of things.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

It's like the ones at the Houston Zoo. They. They're like, why aren't they. They can't get out.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. I don't think, Jill, you would know this. The two bald eagles that we have at the zoo, I don't think they can fly fly, can they?

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

It depends on what is wrong with them. I don't know. I haven't been to the Houston Zoo,

[Rod Ryan]

so I don't know.

[Sports/News Reporter (possibly Alex or another co-host)]

Yeah, they were injured in a storm.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Yeah. Yeah, Majestic.

[Rod Ryan]

Majestic and. And big and big watching.

[Caller (e.g., Linda, Amanda)]

Well, and if they. And if they break a bone, bird's bones are hollow, so they can't heal upright. And that could be something that they can't be released because their wings are not quite right. They might be able to fly, but not well.

[Rod Ryan]

All right. Yeah, we got a bird. Girl, we're gonna put you on speed dial. Jill. When birds come up, we're gonna going to call you.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]

Thank you.

[Rod Ryan]

Hollow bones.

[Mo (Co-host/Producer)]
