[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, sir. France is moving in. Yesterday their president said they're sending an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz. They're tired of this crap. They are hoping to facilitate a deal between the US and Iran and get things moving there. In the straits. France and Britain have been leading a coalition of more than 40 nations and planning what they describe as a strictly defensive mission to that would only deploy after the US Iran conflict winds down. Yesterday, three more passengers were medically evacuated from that Hantavirus cruise ship. They were flown by medevac to the Netherlands. The who, World Health Organization said the total count of suspected cases aboard has climbed to eight. Three have been confirmed by lab testing, but the fourth case was confirmed. A person had gotten off the ship in Switzerland and checked himself into a hospital.

[Mo]

What?

[Rod Ryan]

There are people just walking around. Three people have died from this outbreak and no one is wanting this boat to dock because there's just insufficient safety information. Here we are. Rod, your poll question up on the X. Are men who play video games a turnoff?

[Mo]

I did the question because this woman went viral with saying that she thought it was a turn off when men play video games.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, she tweeted it out. She said, I know this is unpopular, but it'll always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games.

[Mo]

12 million. Like it attracted a lot of attention.

[Rod Ryan]

12 million views.

[Mo]

Okay, so I said, let's do a poll question. Let's see what our listeners think. Ladies are men who play video games. A turnoff. Two votes go yes, major turnoff. The other vote, only if they play too much. The other options are no, not at all. And I actually prefer gamers. Ooh. Okay, so I'm giving you a lot of options on this.

[Rod Ryan]

A lot of options.

[Mo]

Listen, we're not going to get millions of votes on this, but the poll question is up. Julie's got a blog page up for it.

[Rod Ryan]

Perfect.

[Mo]

It's on the X OD Ryan Show. Awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Ted Turner died yesterday. He had a battle with Lewy Body dementia. He was 87. Turner was a pioneer in cable TV, cable news. The founder of CNN. The guy behind things like, I don't know, Turner Classic Movies, tnt, tbs, Cartoon Network. Also the owner of the Atlanta Braves,

[Mo]

and he turned them into a national team.

[Alex]

He owned the Thrashers once.

[Mo]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Rod Ryan]

Wrestling.

[Mo]

There's a hockey team.

[Rod Ryan]

Hockey team. I see wrestling on here, too. He had five kids with his first wife. Famously married to Jane Fonda. She was the last wife.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

He was worth almost $3 billion. And are you cool with some new motionless and white? Because the band just announced their seventh stud album. It's called Decades. It's due out July 17th. The lead single off the new album is called Playing God. And it features Corey Taylor from Slipknot.

[Mo]

Nice.

[Rod Ryan]

They're gonna bring that new music to the Woodlands July 25. And those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Go ahead, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros lost the Dodgers yesterday 12 to 2. It was over fast. Kind of just not even competitive. They're have a day off today to think about what they've done before.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you, sir. France is moving in. Yesterday, the president said they're sending an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz, part of a prep for a potential multinational mission. Of course, they want to restore shipping. France and Britain have been leading a coalition of more than 40 nations and planning what they describe as a strictly defensive mission. Obviously, they want to get shipping restored, but they're also hoping to facilitate a deal between the US And Iran to just get things back moving. We all want that, right?

[Mo]

Yeah, I think so.

[Rod Ryan]

I think so.

[Mo]

I don't know. I don't want to speak out of turn locally.

[Rod Ryan]

We got the alert on our phones yesterday. Another body in the bayou Rod authorities are investigating. A woman's body was reportedly found along Bray's Bayou late yesterday morning. According to HPD, officers were dispatched around 10:40 following reports of a body seen on the bank. Her identity is pending autopsy and verification, but they are thinking it might be the same woman who was swept away during high water last Friday. Realtor.com is reporting a trend spike amongst potential home buyers. The words that people are searching.

[Mo]

Sorry.

[Rod Ryan]

It's okay.

[Mo]

I got excited.

[Rod Ryan]

The words that people are searching on realtor.com are mother in law suites, granny flats, or Guest houses. Why? Multi generational homes are trending at a surprising high.

[Mo]

So this is. You're taking on your elderly parents?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

4 million American households.

[Mo]

It's a lot, man.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I've definitely looked this up on realtor.com?

[Mo]

yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

What would it be to have like a nice little tiny house? My mom could just like.

[Mo]

So one of my best friends has his mom living in the house. They redid a bedroom and then another room for her. Like a, you know, like an area where she can be. And they had to put in like, they had to put in that little stair lift up the stairs. And I've just seen it like it was a really fun thing and it was cool having mom around. And then I've just seen it change over time.

[Rod Ryan]

Stop.

[Mo]

As moms get older, they stop saying thank you. And you know what I mean? It just. It just. It changes over time. And then all of a sudden it just becomes, oh, God, I gotta make mom breakfast now. So just know what you're getting into. No, I want them close.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Now you player. No Doubt.

[Mo]

I've seen it decline over years is what I'm saying. All right. What? I couldn't wait to play this no Doubt song. What's going on?

[Rod Ryan]

I saw some videos of their opening night at the Sphere from last night. Rod.

[Mo]

Oh, did they start.

[Mo]

I was the first to say I didn't think no Doubt was big enough. But I think, I think the power of Gwen Stefani. Gwen is no Doubt was never that huge. They were big. They were big.

[Rod Ryan]

Nostalgia. It's selling.

[Mo]

Had Gwen not gone on to become Gwen,

[Alex]

that's never happened.

Nothing good. The Astros lost the Dodgers yesterday, 12 2. They have the day off now to hopefully turn some things around. Their whole roster is dead. If you look at the IL for the Astros, it's every player you've ever heard of. Ever. The Sugarland Space Cowboys are just playing their games at Minute Maid this season. They'll open up a weekend series with the Reds tomorrow night in Cincinnati. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Celtics108 to102, and the spurs top the Timberwolves133.95. In the Stanley cup playoffs, the Sabres beat the Canadians in game one of the Battle of Canada, and the Ducks got by the Golden Knights three to one, you said? Yeah, you're right. So we're gonna.

[Mo]

And he wants someone to get exploded. That's the fun part. Risk it for the Biscuit. He wants somebody walking away with nothing. What are we listening to? This is Ugly Kid Joe, a tragedy. These guys got shafted. This name of this song is Everything about you. Everything about. These guys were kind of like a goof. Even their name, Ugly Kid Joe. There was like a metal band called Pretty Boy Floyd back in the day. And it was just like a. It was a slam on them. Yeah. And they just wore their hats backwards. They had long stringy hair. They were surfers. And they smiled. Okay, what was happening when this song, song came out? It was 1992 and the world was about to get very morose with our friends from Seattle. The whole grunge thing hadn't really taken over the world yet. And these guys, they went on stage and they smiled and that's not what the world wanted.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Even though this album, I think, sold 2 million copies, they got pushed aside. They never should have been shafted, ever should have been left behind, mind. But record companies, everything just wanted grunge. Oh, they wanted Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, what you just heard Pearl Jam, Ugly Kid Joe. This song's not doing well, huh? No.

[Rod Ryan]

Currently in third place. A close third. 14 of the votes.

[Mo]

What did people want around this time? Yeah, very different. You didn't want. You didn't want a bunch of smiling goofballs up there running around on stage. Page. You wanted angst. You wanted to get grungy. Even though this song came out a year before 1991's outshined, this is my favorite lead singer in the world, Chris Cornell. I remember this. There's about a dozen. Nah, not. Not that many. There's about five, six songs. I remember exactly where I was when I heard it for the first time. I know where I was. And I heard this and I said, omg, G, what is this? It just sounded so different. There's my line still in the lead mode. Of course, when I looked at it, it was 80%. Where's it at right now?

[Rod Ryan]

Crystal and Eric, Monday and Tuesday, said that they had a number in their head where they were going to feel real good about, like comfortable, which led me to believe they were going to lock in.

I. I can't tell everybody. If you thought that fuse looked short, we could have used that earlier. Oh, my word.

[Rod Ryan]

Word.

[Mo]

What was your. What was your number?

[Rod Ryan]

What was I. I had a feeling it was going to be short because all week it had gone over 5. So I was like, I'm gonna end right at 5.

[Mo]

Crap. Crap. Risk it for the Biscuit. Denied. Julie. I'm sorry. I believe there's some. Well, you know what? Chili will tell you a joke. I'm gonna send you over to Chili. He'll tell you a funny joke. He'll make you. He'll make you feel better. He'll buy you a drink of Boomer.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Mo]

W.

[Rod Ryan]

That was brutal. I don't know.

[Alex]

I just like the fuse here, man. I like the fuse.

[Mo]

What else do we play where people walk away with absolutely nothing? We always go to the next caller or something. Nothing. Just this. Just this. That was zero dollars given away on. Risk it for the Biscuit. She was holding out for five. It exploded after four. We play tomorrow at 7. 20. Thank you to the Texas Hammers, Houston Mornings, powered by caffeine, the Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Green Day, Basket case. Before that, nothing. Before that, nothing. No money. I thought this show was giving away money.

[Alex]

Mo gave away the opportunity.

[Mo]

I said, you gotta choose. Did it. Let me see, how did I work? You got a chance to win $1,000. She did. Yeah, she did have a. Well, she played the game where we give you a chance to win. Oh, my God. She won nothing. I know she was going to stop at 5. She wasn't going to be greedy. Alex over there with a short fuse.

[Alex]

I didn't pick the fuse. The fuse was just the one I grabbed.

[Mo]

It's not the first time you've been accused of having a short fuse. That's my whole life. It still works, though.

[Alex]

It's not the size, how you light it.

[Mo]

Wow. Now you're putting everybody. Everybody's uneasy. Like I'm brains in a pretzel. I'm completely uneasy on this whole thing. No money given away.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my gosh. And the noise is so scary on

[Mo]

this thing that we've been talking about. Oh, it's the best thing in the world, man. Risky for Biscuit. We give away cash.

[Alex]

Did we get to do it an extra day then?

[Mo]

Oh, I don't know. I'll have to.

[Alex]

So, like, maybe Julie didn't. Didn't win today, but maybe somebody else in the future potentially could.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, is this a new Alex over here?

[Alex]

I'm Spinzone.

[Mo]

Alex.

[Rod Ryan]

You have some optimism.

[Mo]

No, he's just in a good mood. That somebody got their head blown off.

[Alex]

Is that true? I liked Julie. I liked Julie a lot. I was rooting for Jules.

[Mo]

Julie's face got completely blown off.

[Alex]

She's my brother's very close friend. She goes to the same watering hole.

[Rod Ryan]

That's true.

[Mo]

Her ears over on this side of the room. Her nose is over here. And he's, like, loving it.

[Alex]

No, my face is also black with soot.

[Mo]

Risk it for the Biscuit. Tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

It'll be better tomorrow.

[Mo]

Your chance to win up to 1000 doll village.

[Alex]

Or does it only go to 100 this time?

[Mo]

Or do you leave playing the game hating us, Julie? Don't hate us, Julie.

[Alex]

Somebody's got to be the villain here.

[Mo]

We're never going to hear from her again. That's it. She's like, oh, those. I tried to play some game with them. They blew up on me. All right, well, at least Crystal, Eric, and Kyle seem happy. Not so much today. Let's see if we can do better tomorrow. 720. That brings up an interesting point. No money given away today. Did that buy us another day? Day? I did say we're playing on Monday. I said I got the okay from the Texas Hammers to play on Tuesday. I mean, I will crawl back to them.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm sure he'll text you any minute,

[Mo]

kiss the ring, and say, hey, we gave away no money today. Does that mean we can play Wednesday of next week?

[Rod Ryan]

Please.

[Mo]

I. I can't guarantee that. The other thing that we are working on is. And I've gotten a bunch of calls or a bunch of emails on it. Honest to God, I've gotten a bunch of emails on it. People are wondering, when are we locking in ditch day? Oh, we might be able to announce that tomorrow because I'm still not 100. Sure. We've thrown around dates. I've even thrown out dates on the radio just to kind of like dip my toe in the water to see if you guys approve. And I. I'm not 100 on the date yet. If I get approval today, we can announce tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Teacher Appreciation week.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you remember your Dr. Pepper?

[Mo]

Dr. Pepper yesterday, for the teacher. You know, the PTA put a list of like here's what we're doing all week for our teachers at my kids school. Today was on. Ms. Larson's favorite candy is almond joy. So we had almonds.

[Rod Ryan]

That is the cutest.

[Mo]

Brought her almond joys. But whataburger? Doing something for teachers today.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, it's what a teacher day?

[Mo]

I think so today's their morning where you can get free breakfast 5 to

[Rod Ryan]

9am okay, take your school ID. Teachers receive your choice of a free taquito breakfast on a bun or honey butter chicken biscuit.

[Mo]

You got one per person, you got to show up. You can't bring everybody's ID from the school.

[Rod Ryan]

What are doing?

[Mo]

You choosing the honey butter biscuits? I would have to go with that. Sure. That's on the food blog page today if you want to get all that information. And then I wanted to mention your guy, Alex Scott Boatwright. Okay. That's your guy, right? Yeah.

[Alex]

Boat's always right. Dude.

[Mo]

It's the CEO of Chipotle. Yeah, I know.

[Rod Ryan]

Your best guy.

[Mo]

I know you got him on speed dial.

[Alex]

He's at the boat. Right? Chipotle boat. I haven't been invited out on it yet, but I'm hoping to soon.

[Mo]

So he was, I thought this was so refreshing. He did an interview and I've got the interview. I've got it on the food blog page today. You know, everybody's being accused of, you know, shrinkflation and everything else. And I've never heard a CEO say this. The CEO of Chipotle, he said if you're going through the line and, and you didn't, you didn't like what they put into your bowl because you know, they kind of measure, they loosely measure and they load it up. At Chipotle, he's like, if you don't like the amount he said, ask for a little more. No. No one's gonna say no. That must be something that he like got with everybody. He goes, keep doing what you're doing. But if somebody says, hey, that looks a little light on something. He said, ask for a little more and they'll put it on there for you. Have you ever heard Ronald McDonald say that?

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Mo]

Or anyone else, people. But it's wild to hear the, the top guy say that. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

[Alex]

And they're not gonna charge you more or anything for that.

[Mo]

It's not guac.

[Alex]

I get that. But like when you were an employee, when you were like a 20 something year old working at A food place. Would you have ever been like, no, I actually need to save those veggies. I need. No, I'm like, yeah, dude, load you up.

[Mo]

So he said, don't be shy. Ask for another spoonful. This is the CEO Scott Boatwright. He says if you're unsatisfied, quote, ask for a little more. Quote, we serve big, beautiful bowls and burritos, full stop, no questions asked. If you want more, ask the team member. I promise you no one is going to say no. I tell my team all the time, put as much food in that bowl and burrito as you possibly can. I want the customer, customer to tell you it's too big.

[Alex]

Yeah. I've never been told it's too big before. So it's always good to know that Chipotle can be.

[Rod Ryan]

Well also. Have you ever left Chipotle hungry? I. That's always two meals for me. Yeah.

[Mo]

So that's just a cool. There's some really cool, interesting, interesting things on the food blog page.

[Alex]

Try the new honey chicken.

[Mo]

Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am the buzz disturb going hard on a Throwback Thursday. Good morning, Rod Ryan show 94. 5 the Buzz. Have you voted yet for Throwback Thursday? Ugly Kid Joe Soundgarden, the Low Fidelity All Stars. Playing that clip helped that song out a lot. Got a lot of attention. I think people recognize it from just the hundreds of movies and shows that it's been on. You can vote on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog [e-mail] I saw episode 666 up Alex, pass the gravy. That's the number. You didn't skip that one for bad luck?

[Alex]

No, we had to do it. Podcast of the Beast.

[Mo]

Okay, so that's up on links and guests. So we'll get into that food blog page. I had already kind of mentioned today three things you must see looking at girls. Whose birthday is it today? Oh, whose birthday is it today? I'll think of it. A couple of them on there today. Cloudy skies 10 chance of rain, high of 80mo. Houston's Headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. France's movie moving in. Rod, yesterday the president said they're sending an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz.

[Mo]

Are they helping us or they're just doing their own thing?

[Rod Ryan]

So France and Britain have been, quote, leading a coalition. So more than 40 nations are planning, working together, a strictly defensive mission. They are hoping to facilitate a deal between the US And Iran, which I think we all are hoping for.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

They want to get things back, moving, restore, shipping let's go. So that's the plan.

[Mo]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

Yesterday through more passengers were medically evacuated from the hantavirus stricken cruise ship that we keep seeing in the headlines. They had to be flown by medevac. They were let into the Netherlands and the Canary Islands for treatment. The World Health Organization is saying the total count of suspected cases aboard had climbed to eight. Three being confirmed by lab testing. A fourth was confirmed in Switzerland after a former passenger passenger checked himself into a hospital. So it's not just contained to the cruise ship anymore. They're not letting that boat dock anywhere because everyone's worried about letting them. No one knows what's going on. The poll question on the X, are men who play video games a turn off?

[Mo]

Does your husband play video games?

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Mo]

He never had like a moment? No, not at all. What? You're shutting me down immediately?

[Rod Ryan]

This is not for me.

[Mo]

Oh, wait a minute. Not. You're getting.

[Rod Ryan]

I have a stance, a firm stance. Tell me I don't do video games. We don't do video games.

[Mo]

You think less of, unfortunately, people that do.

[Rod Ryan]

Unfortunately, I do. Now I understand. I understand that some people enjoy that as their hobby, which is fine. If you're a grown adult, you have an adult job and you do this as a hobby and can still get your other things done around the house like you're contributing.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Then it's fine, do that as your hobby. It's just not for me.

[Mo]

So the question is where it is. And it's, you know, it's very limited. Ladies are men who play video games. A turn off. 50% say only if they play too much. Yes, that makes sense. I gave you a lot of options here.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, what were the other options?

[Mo]

35% say no, not at all. 10% say yes, major turnoff. 5% said, I actually prefer gamers.

[Rod Ryan]

There you go. See, there's someone for everyone out there.

[Mo]

Let's game together.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's go, baby.

[Mo]

Does your wife play video games?

[Alex]

She has. We don't really have as much time to do it anymore.

[Rod Ryan]

That's not her hobby though.

[Alex]

We used to just like, just play Grand Theft Auto together. You would like we beat it.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Ted Turner died yesterday. Louis Body dementia. Sounds horrible. He was 87. He was a pioneer in cable TV, though. In cable news. The founder of C, CNN. The guy behind channels like TNT and TBS, Turner Classic Movies. That's him.

[Mo]

Younger people, you gotta realize. Ted Turner, visionary, creating cnn. And they're like, okay, nobody's got their feelings now. But before CNN, this is CNN 24 hours it was on. We didn't have news. Anytime you want. Wanted it until Ted Turner came around. He's responsible for my television being on all the time with stupid news. Yeah, he came up with that. He really was. I mean, he's a Hall of Famer. He really is. Take out what he, you know, because now everybody looks at people in a different lens like, well, he stood for this and blah, blah, blah. People didn't think that way back in the day. He was just this guy that had these crazy ideas and he did them. He did a lot of things with his money.

[Rod Ryan]

It's amazing.

[Mo]

And he made billions doing it. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Almost worth $3 billion.

[Mo]

But he created the 24 hour news cycle. Love it or hate it, he's the guy that. He's the guy that came up with that.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, are you cool with some new motionless and white? Because the band just announced their seventh studio album. It's called Decades. It's out July 17th. The lead single off the new album is called Playing God, and it actually, actually features Corey Taylor Slipknot. They're going to bring that new music to the Woodlands July 25. And those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Take it, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros lost the Dodgers yesterday, 12 2. They're going to have a day off today before they open up a weekend series at the Reds tomorrow night in Cincinnati. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Celtics 108 to 102. They have a 20 lead in that series. And the spurs top the Timberwolves 133 to 95 to even that series up at a game. Game a piece. In the Stanley cup playoffs, the Sabres beat the Canadians 42 in the battle of Canada. And the Ducks got by the Golden Knights 3 to 1 to even that series up at a game of peace. That is what's going on in sports.

[Mo]

You have an American hockey team taking on things. Okay, Canadian hockey team, and they want to be Canadian. Detroit Red Wings do that. Your team not in a playoff game. Your team. Because they're not in the playoffs.

[Alex]

Exactly.

[Mo]

Your favorite team. Team sings the Canadian national anthem as their home games.

[Alex]

They would never do a playoff game.

[Mo]

Houston's rock, Houston's alternative, and the Rod Ryan morning show, the Buzz. All right, here we go. 94.5. The buzz. Halfway point of the show, people. Lincoln park in the end. Rod Ryan Show. 805. Making my. My last. Like, I'm making the cuts. I'm telling you, it's like a piece of the paper all over the place. I've been taking These words all morning long.

Things have been moving around. You have it.

[Rod Ryan]

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Soundgarden at one point had 80% of the votes, right?

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Right now they're at 48% of the votes.

[Mo]

Oh, wow.

[Rod Ryan]

So just over half.

[Mo]

Who's catching up?

[Rod Ryan]

Ish. Ugly Kid Joe has 35.

[Mo]

Oh, that's within striking distance now.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. So it feels close. Like within 80 votes.

[Mo]

That's my least favorite of the three.

[Rod Ryan]

Really?

[Mo]

Yeah. I mean, I told the story about

[Rod Ryan]

the story very, very nicely.

[Mo]

They got shafted. They really did, man. They. They were not. It's just record Companies were scrambling in 92, especially in 93 re after they had realized, okay, Nirvana now rules the world. Anybody that is not from Seattle, we're not interested in them. And Ugly Kid Joe, even though they were from California, they had long hair. They didn't. They weren't a glam band, you know, they weren't docking. They weren't, you know, any of that hair metal. But they just were played on the stations that played that stuff. And they got lumped in with them and they got. Got dusted and they didn't need to be. They could have coexisted with the guys. They just were smiling on stage and they were a goofy band, but they were good. They sold 4 million albums. Ugly Kid Joe catching up. That's interesting. Ugly Kid Joe, Soundgarden and the Low Fidelity All Stars, which is a banger. It is an awesome, awesome song. There it is. Mo's got a list on the music blog page put together by Bill Billboard saying, here's a great Mother's Day playlist. All they did is grabbed a bunch of songs that are have Mother in the title and didn't include the song Mother by Danzig. I included it on the music blog page if you want to see this video. Thanks, Rob Danzig and all his muscles. Oh, this is another one of those weirdo songs, Alex.

[Alex]

Cool. Cool,

[Mo]

Mo. Mother's Day on Sunday. Is it a surprise that people, your family is working on for you or do you like to say, here's what I'd like.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Because your mom's in town. Yes, so.

[Rod Ryan]

So is my mother in law.

[Mo]

Okay. So how is that juggling act happen?

[Rod Ryan]

It's great. We're all very. We're good at planning holidays. We all of get lot a along. I know, it's weird.

[Mo]

Are you all together? Are you all together at the same time?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Okay. Okay. Yeah, I heard that. Yeah, we are.

[Rod Ryan]

We make it work. It's great. My kids, though, I have toddlers and they like the idea of, like, surprises. So I make sure that I buy the cake that they can give and like, they know about breakfast in bed. So I have to just kind of milk it for them.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I could care less.

[Mo]

You all get together and you. You go out to eat.

[Rod Ryan]

That's a lot. We're doing church. We're gonna hang out at the pool. All at the house and just eat together. So easy.

[Mo]

Did you look at the weather? Is it gonna. I know, we got rain coming.

[Rod Ryan]

Sunday afternoon is looking like we might be able to salvage it. Yeah, we'll see how it goes.

[Mo]

Okay. All right. I got. I got to the post office on Tuesday and I paid for three day.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mo]

So I get there Tuesday and I pay a little extra. I go, I'll take the three day one. So I can count.

[Rod Ryan]

I love this story so much.

[Mo]

I can count. So I go, all right, it's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. That's three days. I go, okay, yeah, let's do. Let me do the three day. So after I'm done with the transaction, I do everything. She goes, okay, it'll be there on Saturday. I'm like, screw it. Excuse me. Wait a minute. What?

[Rod Ryan]

It's.

[Mo]

I paid for three days. I know she heard me.

[Rod Ryan]

How did she justify that?

[Mo]

She charged me. Is there.

[Rod Ryan]

That's four days.

[Mo]

It's three days after tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

Like you were there on Tuesday. So I get that they don't count Tuesday. Wednesday is the first day. Totally get that.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

How are they justifying Saturday?

[Mo]

Yeah. And then I think she may have even said, okay, should be there on Saturday.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, they legally probably have to say that.

[Mo]

I think that's how she went, worded it. Now, I could have done. The only other thing was an overnight, which was a lot.

[Rod Ryan]

A million dollars.

[Mo]

Right. The cards and like a little thing of pralines that we got from New Orleans when we were there for James,

[Rod Ryan]

You weren't sending a couch.

[Mo]

No. So three days. Three days. Fridays. So now I'm freaking out like, oh, my God. And I was getting there the day before.

[Alex]

Also National Small Business Week as well.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, come on.

[Mo]

The nurses kind of get shafted on their day and week because the teachers like. It's just so. It's more popular. I'm not saying one's better than the other. It just seems like there's more behind it. I don't know. I'm just. The PTA at my kids school is. They're animals.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Yeah, she's talking a lot of smack, bro. Let's see what Charles has to say. Hey, Charles. Good morning, Rod. Good morning. Chili's gonna try to win you these tickets today, huh? Yeah. Yes, sir. And no pressure. It's just 3:11 is my favorite band, and I was unable to get tickets for this, so I'm really looking forward to.

[Alex]

That's like.

[Mo]

Okay. Chili's gonna go first. Thank you, Alex. Charles, good luck to you. I'm. I'm shuffling the words so loud. Shuffling the words.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm putting.

[Alex]

Shuffling.

[Mo]

It's great.

[Rod Ryan]

Seconds on the clock.

[Alex]

Mediocre shuffling at best.

[Mo]

Okay. Shout out your name. I'm kidding. Mo just looked at me. Oh, my God. What time is it?

[Rod Ryan]

I'm still new here.

[Mo]

Oh, my God. Is it still homeroom?

[Mo]

Okay, this is the longest six o' clock the on hour ever. All right, Chili's rocking out. He can't hear me any longer.

[Mo]

That was a fat. It was the fat. It was.

[Rod Ryan]

That was a mean.

[Mo]

Because that listener got no time today to win money.

[Alex]

There was time.

[Mo]

Oh, fast. Okay, okay, okay. It's be hard to keep a straight face. Oh, geez. I'm just going to say several people sent this in. Thumbs up. Thumbs up. Okay. Plastic titty. Wait, did you say plastic titties?

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

Great of you to think of me.

Stone Temple Pilots and Plush. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Mo said we got a hell of a race on our hands here for Throwback Thursday. What you looking at? I'll say it because I know you've mentioned it before. You got Soundgarden, Ugly Kid Joe and Low Fidelity All Stars at one point this morning. With a bunch of votes already in, Soundgarden was at 80% of the vote. What do you got now?

[Rod Ryan]

Now they're at 43%, which means still

[Mo]

you get two other songs taking up the rest of the pie.

[Rod Ryan]

So they're at 43. Ugly Kid Joe is at 41.

[Mo]

Whoa. They're catching up.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Fast.

[Rod Ryan]

Kind of fun.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Are you gonna be sad?

[Mo]

Yeah. As. As much as I talked about Ugly Kid Joe, it's. That's.

[Rod Ryan]

You really gave them a lot of sympathy love.

[Mo]

Yeah. I'd want the other two songs played that. I know that right at this point, the Low Fidelity All Star song is absolutely gone. So Soundgarden, my favorite lead singer, of course. I want Soundgarden outshined. Please get your votes in. It really, really matters, man. Hit us up on links and guests. Houston's Rock and Alternative and the Rod ryan Morning show. 6 to 10am Now. The buzz. Come on. Here we go. All right. 945 the buzz Rod Ryan show. On this Throwback Thursday, that winning song's going to be played at 9:30 this morning. And we need your vote, man. Sound Garden. Ugly Kid Joe kind of looks like it's out of it for Low Fidelity All Stars. It's a great song, though. You should go and listen to that on your own. Song is called Battle Flag. I think you're going to recognize it. If you hadn't. If you don't remember when it was played on the radio quite a bit. I'm going back to 97, 97, 98. It's in a lot of movies, though. It's on a lot of movie soundtracks. Tilly does put up the videos. You can go listen to the songs just to refamiliarize yourself with them on the voting page. So you can go check that out on the Rod Ryan show blog page. Cloudy skies today. 10% chance of rain. Highs of around 80mo. What you got for Houston's headlines?

[Rod Ryan]

Good morning, Rod. Good morning, Francis. Moving in to the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, the president said they're sending an aircraft carrier as part of prep for a potential multinational mission. Obviously, the goal is to restore shipping. And France has been working with Britain and leading the coalition of more than 40 nations, obviously hoping to facilitate a deal between the US and Iran and get things moving locally. We all got the alert yesterday that authorities are investigating a woman's body found along Bray's Bayou. Yes, another body in the bayou. According to hpd, officers were dispatched yesterday morning following reports of a body scene on the bank of the bayou. Her identity is pending autopsy and verification, but we do know that a woman was swept away on Friday because of high water. So we're kind of hoping for a little closure there. Hoping it's her. Realtor.com reporting a trend spike amongst potential homebuyers. People are searching the words mother in law suites, granny flats and guest houses more than ever.

[Mo]

So I've got an apartment above my garage.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Yes.

[Mo]

It's very popular in the Heights.

[Rod Ryan]

The Heights thing? Yes.

[Mo]

It's a storage unit for me. But I've told London you can have the house. But I'm going there. Like, I'm. You're never. You're never getting rid of me.

[Rod Ryan]

I love that. I think it would be an awesome honor. I know in some cultures it's like very, very normal, but I think the number. What is it? Oh, 4 million. 4 million American households now span three or more generations under the same roof. I don't know. I love the idea.

[Mo]

That's like your kid. That's failure. Failure to launch.

[Rod Ryan]

And then they have a kid, you and your parents.

[Mo]

There you go. That's Generations.

[Rod Ryan]

There were some videos last night of no Doubt's opening night at the Sphere. It looked amazing. Nostalgic. I saw Alyssa Milano there, who's also nostalgic for me. And so I just think people were into it. But you think as an artist, it's a huge deal to open up the Sphere. Right. Gwen Stefani's husband was a no show last night. He was in Vegas. Yeah, at the blackjack table.

[Mo]

Let the guy know he's working.

[Rod Ryan]

I know he's working. He has his own residency at the Coliseum at Caesar's Palace. It's kind of funny that they couldn't figure out the dates, though, like that they overlapped and were the exact same time.

[Mo]

How you gonna tell me that? He was at the Sabres game last night.

[Rod Ryan]

Hotel already sold out all 12 of their May shows at the Sphere and they put six June shows on sale.

[Mo]

Has anybody looked up a set list yet? Before you do. Before you do. I know it's a no Doubt show. You can't deny the power of Gwen Stefani and how popular she became after no Doubt.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. I'm assuming there's some of her stuff they have to, right?

[Mo]

Is it expected? Are people expecting them to do a couple of her songs? Her solo songs, maybe?

[Rod Ryan]

I think the guys would almost be cool with it. Let's go, girl.

[Mo]

Oh, you're happy with whatever she wants. Okay. She blew past them years ago, so they're happy to be on this ride. So B, A, N A N A. They're going to end up playing that, right?

[Rod Ryan]

I think so. Okay, Mother's Day is Sunday, and Billboard put together a playlist to celebrate all the mamas and in your life.

[Mo]

This is terrible list.

[Rod Ryan]

It's horrible.

[Mo]

This is Pink Floyd, Mother. I mean, it is on the list, right? So Billboard, just the most lazy list they've ever put out.

[Rod Ryan]

It's really bad.

[Mo]

They just did a word search.

[Alex]

Probably used AI.

[Mo]

Bring up. Bring up 10 songs that have Mother in the title. It's all they did.

[Alex]

Shuffle it up and then throw it as a top 10.

[Mo]

You know, at least they had Ozzy on the same list as Taylor Swift. That might never happen again.

[Rod Ryan]

Boys to Men, Beyonce, the Beast, Beatles. Stacy's mom by Fountains of Wayne, naturally, on good one.

[Mo]

But no Dancing Mother, no Backstreet Boys. Come on. All right. If you want to see the laziest Mother's Day playlist ever, do better. It's on the music blog page.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Go ahead, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros lost the Dodgers yesterday 12 to 2. They're gonna have a day off today before they open up a weekend series with the Reds tomorrow night in Cincinnati. In the NBA playoffs, the Knicks beat the Celtics 108 to 102, and the spurs top the Timberwolves 133 to 95. Stanley cup playoffs. The Sabres beat the Canadiens 4 2, and the Ducks got by the Golden Knights 3 to 1. That is what's going on in sports,

[Mo]

rock and alternative for Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

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

[Mo]

5 the buzz. Good morning. Rod Ryan show. That is stained. And it's been a while. Rod Ryan show, Throwback Thursday. Ooh. Any update?

[Rod Ryan]

No.

[Mo]

It's the same positions. Yeah. Sound Garden still holding.

[Rod Ryan]

Sound Garden still holding the lead. Ugly Kid Joe in second.

[Mo]

How close now?

[Rod Ryan]

Let me just refresh real fast, please. 39.

[Mo]

Sound Garden and Ugly Kid Joe.

[Rod Ryan]

36.

[Mo]

Okay, so that means Low Fidelity All Stars got a bump.

[Rod Ryan]

They did get a little bump there. 24.

[Mo]

It's a good song. Yeah, it is a really, really good song. Those three songs. Everything on links and guests. Alex, you got a new podcast up 666.

[Alex]

Yeah, man.

[Mo]

That's the number of podcast.

[Alex]

It is.

[Mo]

666. How many years is that?

[Alex]

12.

[Mo]

Five goes into 600. Going. Going on 12. Holy crap. 12 years doing a podcast like the first podcast. You and Kevin Smith?

[Alex]

No. Joe Rogan.

[Mo]

No. Kevin Smith was.

[Alex]

Before they call it a podcast.

[Mo]

He called it a smodcast. It was pre podcast. I don't know. He was just being a weird guy. But Kevin Smith, he was the first guy that was doing it for me that I knew of. Joe Rogan might have been. But I think Kevin Smith beat everybody to this.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Mo]

To this game. I mean, Kevin Smith's been doing it a long time. But for 666 is unbelievable. What'd you guys get into? All devil worshiping stuff.

[Alex]

Not no devil worshiping stuff.

[Mo]

Actually.

[Alex]

We tried to figure out what the Mark of the Beast was, and then apparently it's just a thing on your hand. I think so. Not that interesting. But we tried to find out if birds hate flying.

[Mo]

I mean, if we take walking.

[Alex]

Because if you can fly, why would

[Mo]

you ever want to walk?

[Alex]

That would be the worst.

[Mo]

Well, you have the kids watch B movie yet?

[Alex]

Kids? If not, I have, yeah.

[Mo]

B movie. Jerry Seinfeld explains why they don't fly all the time.

[Alex]

Yeah, that's true. That's true. But that's bees, not birds.

[Mo]

It's true. I just wonder. It was the same concept.

[Alex]

We figured out what color the letter Q is. Whether or not it's time to bring scythes back. Like Cool Hand Luke style. Oh, look, they look fat ass.

[Mo]

Just you bringing up the. The reference. Cool Hand Luke is awesome. Yeah.

[Alex]

And then we came up with some new rules for banana ball in the Savannah Bananas.

[Mo]

A lot of stuff for you guys.

[Alex]

I love it.

[Mo]

Alex's brand new podcast. Do you name the podcast or just the number? We name it cuz I said I go Holy Cow dude, the Devil wears Gravy.

[Alex]

No, we did not name it.

[Rod Ryan]

Very on trend right now.

[Alex]

Something we'll say in the show at some point.

[Mo]

Got gotcha. Okay. All right. So that's how links and guest chili. If I see you in a Depeche Mode T shirt tomorrow, I will know that you have been heavily influenced by our six to gram Thursday today. It's very goth. Maybe he'll start listening to Bauhaus or something like that. Of those. That type of music. Yeah, we got like a full on goth fix. The gram Thursday on links and guests today. The you're looking at girls blog page is absolutely packed today. This is all stuff that's just sitting there on links and guests. I do need you to vote though. I do need you to vote. The winning song will be played today at 9:30. Oh, I know what I wanted to mention. Who was it that was having a birthday today? Because she's got such an interesting story. I was just wondering if Mo had ever heard of her before.

[Alex]

Have you?

[Mo]

If I said let's see. Because she's. The headline is Hayden Pan and Tierre, right? Am I saying the name right? Yeah. If I ask you who Tracy Lords is, do you know who that is?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Tracee Lords.

[Mo]

Tracy Lords.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I thought you said Lawrence. No, I don't.

[Mo]

Tracy Lords.

[Rod Ryan]

No, Tracee Lords is a country singer. Lords.

[Mo]

Tracy Lords was the first. I think she's credited as the first. She started out in the adult industry.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

She made porn.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

But she made porn like crazy young. Like she lied about her age, that type of thing. Got super famous in that. And then she became a Main street actress.

[Rod Ryan]

Really?

[Mo]

Yes. Wow. And I know people have like dabbled. They've kind of, you know, gone in and out. But she made movies legitimate. They were kind of like B movies and stuff. But she made the leap from adult to real cinema.

[Rod Ryan]

She has quite the story. I'm reading it now.

[Mo]

Okay. The only reason why I brought that up.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Cuz if you didn't know about her, you. This is perfect for you. And you're rabbit holing. What?

[Rod Ryan]

Tell me. I love a rabbit hole.

[Mo]

Just. It's crazy to think about what she did at the age that she did it.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh yeah, that's where I am right now.

[Mo]

Who would lie? Who would lie to get into the porno industry?

[Rod Ryan]

She did. She needed money.

[Mo]

She absolutely did. And to think how young she was.

[Rod Ryan]

15.

[Mo]

They had to pull those movies off the shelf. Everything. I remember Guns N Roses getting an award and the MTV days. Guns n Roses came out and Tracy Lords was standing next to. I'm like, oh, my God, that's Tracy Lords. Like, I knew who it was. Like, oh, my God, that's Tracy Lord standing up there with Slash. It's her birthday today. She's 58.

[Rod Ryan]

She looks great.

[Mo]

Oh, you want to talk about. Somebody needs to have a movie made about them. Tracy Lawrence.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, she probably will.

[Mo]

She absolutely needs to have a. She seems somewhat like Jenna Jameson. Seems like a nut job. Tracy Lords seems like she's for everything

[Rod Ryan]

she's gone through, she turned out.

[Mo]

She seemed pretty well adjusted.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

I don't know. I don't know her. Get your votes in. The winning Throwback Thursday song played at 9:30. And now your chance at alternative income.

[Rod Ryan]

No, like four times a year. Like seasonally.

[Alex]

All right, which is the real Trader Joe's product?

[Mo]

Is it chocolate covered saddle potato crisps

[Alex]

or milk chocolate covered Gummy Bears?

[Rod Ryan]

Bears are real.

[Mo]

That's why I don't go.

[Alex]

That is correct.

[Mo]

It's why I don't go. Cuz I feel like they just have rows and rows of what he just said.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, you and you have to look at everything and you're like, what? Really?

[Mo]

You're going to buy stuff that you don't need? Fat boy doesn't need that stuff.

[Alex]

Like a 10 foot area because that's the size of the store.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, it is pretty small.

[Alex]

The size of this room we're in. Busy sometimes 100 other people with you?

[Mo]

Yeah, but you got to watch what you say, dude. I. I think they're crazier than the. The Beehive.

[Rod Ryan]

What. What about Taylor Swift people?

[Mo]

Those are the same people. Okay. Taylor Swift people and Trader Joe people. That's the level of crazy Taylor Swift

[Alex]

while they're shopping at Trader Joe.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, you're gonna be so mad.

[Mo]

How do you always do this to me?

[Rod Ryan]

I was gonna say you have a theory.

[Mo]

When I say I want to something,

[Rod Ryan]

people do the opposite.

[Mo]

Listeners think it's funny. Haha. Let's all get together.

[Rod Ryan]

I think it's funny too.

[Mo]

We know Rod wants to hear this song, so let's vote for this other song. As a matter of fact, I said this was the one song out of the three. You did it right. That I would least like played on the show. And all I did was fuel you guys.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, wow. That is something. R. Well, it was really something.

[Mo]

I'll let you guys go and fix it in a couple minutes. You got a couple minutes to do so we have had a poll question running all morning long and it came from this chick who tweeted out her thoughts on video games. And she's smart. This is what you need to do in sports talk radio. Probably. I should probably do More of this on this show, like hot Takes. I just don't like to be like the phony guy, but like sports guys, you know, you want to get the, you want to light up the phones. You say that, you know, Tom Brady is not the greatest, greatest quarterback of all time in the NFL. You say that.

[Alex]

You would say that.

[Mo]

And then you say something like, you know, if you look at it this way, you'd have to go with Aaron Rodgers. Now every phone line's ringing and they're doing that to get the phone lines ringing.

[Alex]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

You would never.

[Mo]

I just don't.

[Rod Ryan]

That's not you.

[Mo]

I. I know a guy that does a morning show and he literally will have somebody call in, set up, call, and the person will be on the phone. And this is why all the calls you hear on the show, everything is real. Real. It's not scripted. We don't pay actors to do these things. He'll have somebody call on the phone. It'll be set up, it'll be a woman. And she'll say, I'm gonna tell you why it's okay to leave my kid in the car when I go in to get my prescription.

[Rod Ryan]

Here we go.

[Mo]

Go into cvs, get some fired up. And that lights up the phones. And then he's. And he's got this great phone conversation going on for an hour on his. On his morning show.

[Rod Ryan]

Can't do that.

[Mo]

This woman did what you need to do. She made a comment and made it sound like every woman feels the way that she does. She tweeted out, quote, I know this is unpopular, but it. It'll always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. 12 million comments and views later. Yeah, the whole Internet is going crazy for this woman. Some agreeing with her, but most not. I would say most are not. Mo. Yes, Hot take.

[Rod Ryan]

I agree with her.

[Mo]

You agreed with her?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Not for me. Now I respect that. If that is your hobby, as long as you are an adult with an adult job and can get your hobbies or your responsibilities around the house. Done, Go ahead.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, it's just not for me.

[Mo]

I got an email from Cliff Rod. My wife and I met playing Iron Force, an Android iPhone phone based tank. Video game teams, or Legions as they were called, were 50 players and many legions used third party apps similar to WhatsApp or Telegram to communicate. We met on the app, did the long distance thing for a while with a couple of visits to see her in North Carolina. She moved here in 2015. We'll celebrate our 10th marriage anniversary this year.

[Rod Ryan]

That's awesome.

[Mo]

I have. I can't tell you how many video game emails I have this morning.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I'll say one thing. Nobody's upset. They're just saying, hey, they're passionate. This is what's going on in my world with video games. You know, you can be a contributing person of society and play video games.

[Rod Ryan]

There you go.

[Mo]

Alex shows up to work every day. He does he DS in some video games. Just a little escapism maybe. Right? You still.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Even with the kids and getting married, you didn't have to give up video games.

[Alex]

No, because my wife's not a.

[Rod Ryan]

He's got it all.

[Mo]

I like that. That was a great pause. My question on the X today, ladies, are men who play video games a turnoff? 50% said only if they play too much.

[Rod Ryan]

No, no. If you play too much, your wife would also say she agrees.

[Mo]

You could also say, what's a turn off in a partner? Anybody that does anything too much.

[Rod Ryan]

Too much is a turn off.

[Mo]

That's a turn off. Anything too much.

[Rod Ryan]

If you were cleaning my house too much, I would be like, stop cleaning.

[Mo]

Oh, I don't know about that.

[Rod Ryan]

I would.

[Mo]

Boy, you'd have to really. I can't even imagine. Imagine me telling somebody to, hey, could you tone down the cleaning?

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, anything you do too much can be a turn off.

[Mo]

You're right. Except cleaning. Stop. 50% said that the. The next largest answer was 23%. No, not at all. Men who play video games are not a turn off. 13% did say it was a major turnoff. And 13% said I actually performed for gamers. So kind of all over the place, but yeah, I. I gave you guys that out.
