Alex
Oh no.
Mo
Freezing there.
Alex
Took us off.
Rod Ryan
Yes.
Alex
I drove by the other day, I saw the tent out there, got excited.
Rod Ryan
The tent is huge. 30% chance of rain, partly cloudy, high today of 64. It's about 50 out there right now. Good morning, Mo. Welcome back. What do you got for Houston's headlines?
Mo
There are several people going on spring break again this week and you are dealing with sharply rising gas prices. Well, Energy Secretary Scott Wright says war with Iran will quote, certainly end in the next few weeks, possibly sooner. Iran closed that Strait of Hormuz, so it's a Narrow Waterway. Roughly 20% of the world's oil supply passes through it, sending crude oil prices and gas prices climbing. The guy added that while the increase is painful for all of us, it will lead to long term improvements in the global situation. Mother Nature, she's a jokester, isn't she?
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Throwing several weather threats at the US all in one shot. She's got a blizzard in the upper Midwest, wildfires across the plains, severe storms including tornadoes moving to the east, flooding in Hawaii, triple digit temperatures in the Southwest. And here we are in H town. We can hear the wind howling wind advisory for our Monday. And that wind is part of that cold front that pushed our temperatures well below average into the 40s. If you factor in the wind, our feels like temperatures are in the 30s for our Monday. Did you hear that Target is going to stop selling toys? No, it's a rumor kind of what's going on on social media. It Seems like it's half true because earlier this month, Target announced their strategic plan for their next chapter of growth. One of the things they highlighted is their plan to expand their focus on groceries and beauty items. So they have to make room for that stuff. So they're going to be streamlining their source, cutting down some sections.
Rod Ryan
Do all targets have food now?
Mo
I don't know about all, but most of them, they have a good selection of, like, things that you don't find it maybe like your H E B as far as, like, health, organic foods, more niche. So they've got to cut down on the sporting goods, the toys, the electronics to make room for more of this stuff, the grocery, the health, the baby and beauty products.
Rod Ryan
And why is that? Because you need it all the time. So you keep going back to the store. If you need toys, you go there once. And then I'll see you in four months when I need another toy.
Mo
Reactions are mixed.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, they want. They want people walking in and out of that place, you know, every week.
Mo
Hey. Last night, the Oscars were on. They honored the film industry. The show was hosted by Conan o'. Brien. Some highlights. Well, there's a guy, a director, named Paul Thomas Anderson. Prior to this year, he'd been nominated 11 times, lost all of them. Last night, he won three awards for his role as director of the movie One Battle after Another. That's the Leonardo DiCaprio one we've talked about, right?
Rod Ryan
Oh, you're a big Oscar guy. Big, big Oscar.
Mo
Was it a good movie?
Alex
I get why they're like, the acting performances are really good. I thought the movie was okay.
Mo
Okay.
Alex
It was a great plane movie. I watched it on plane.
Mo
Oh, fair. Leonardo DiCaprio did not win best actor for that movie.
Alex
Michael B. Jordan, Timothy Chalamet, A lot of people saying he can't win the big one.
Mo
Michael Jordan took home his first Oscar for best actor in the movie Sinners. That movie won a lot of awards. A lady named Jessie Buckley won best actress. Hamnet, Hamnet, Hamnet. That was the movie that she was in. Not there's no L. Godsmack had big news. They're very excited to be releasing a new concert film. It's due out May 1st on Blu Ray and CD. The show was recorded October 26th, 2024. A big show for them because it was the final performance with longtime members, the guitarist Tony Rumbola and the drummer Shannon Larkin, who have since retired from the band. Their frontman, Sully, he's the one that produced this film and said it's the Most important piece of work the band has ever captured on film. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Who's got a Blu Ray player?
Mo
I was really confused by that.
Rod Ryan
Maybe some of the xboxes or something.
Alex
PlayStations. Yeah, but.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but okay. Hey, what you got?
Alex
It's selection Sunday in college basketball yesterday. The NCAA tournament brackets all set. So you can start filling out your brackets now if you want. Duke, Arizona, Florida and Michigan are the 4. 1 seeds. U of H ended up with a 2 seed. We had six Texas schools making the field of 68, U of H amongst them, including Texas Tech, Texas A and M Texas and TCU and smu. UT and SMU are going to be in the play in games that start tomorrow. The rest of the tournament first round begins Thursday.
Rod Ryan
I feel like you just said a bunch of letters. I don't know what you were saying.
Alex
Well, yeah. T, T, U. T, A, M U T, U, H, T, C, U. All the U's are in the Rockets. In other basketball news are back in action. Tonight they're gonna host the Lakers over at the Toyota center at the tip off will be at 8:30. And you can listen to that on our sister's guys first day back. Okay, give me, give me a second. In baseball at spring training, Astros beat the Marlins one to nothing. But that wasn't the big story. In other baseball news, Team USA got by the Dominican Republic 2 to 1 last night to advance to the championship of the World Baseball Classic where they're going to play either Venezuela or Italy on Wednesday night for the title. It's a bad time to not be an American if you care about any meaningful sport. And just to keep those American vibes going. Did you see team sled hockey?
Rod Ryan
Yes, sir.
Alex
Boys got it done over there. They beat Canada 6 to 2 in the gold medal game at the Paralympics. It was awesome.

Share all this stuff with us, you know, and so many things have happened on the radio. Of course, they're on their way to have their baby right now. All right, so she's not in the gallon challenge, but there are all sorts of updates that I need to talk about with the gallon challenge. But look how far behind we are already. Oh, wow. But well worth it. All right, I gotta take a short break on the flip. Got a rec check for you. We'll find out what's trending and then we'll get set up for the fresh out of bed. Head to head.

Alex
The Oscars are trending. Of course, everybody's talking about everything went down yesterday. I saw a little bit of Conan's opening monologue and that was all. So I didn't watch it live.
Rod Ryan
I, I turned it on and I saw Barbra Streisand singing and I went, what, what is Babs doing singing? She retired a couple years ago, but she was singing to her friend in the memoriam for Robert Redford.
Alex
Well, I was not watching the Oscars because I was being patriotic, watching my country play in the world baseball Classic. This little thing, if you ever heard about it, we beat the Dominican Republic. We're trying to dominate all sports and we're currently succeeding in that. We took out Canada earlier in the week too. So USA just crushing it in sports. NCAA tourname tournament. Another thing that Canada can't have because they're not going to have an NCAA champion this year because it's all American teams. NCAA tournament bracket was released yesterday, men's and women's. And we'll put up, we'll put one of those up on the sports blog page if you want to go take a look at it. We got seven Texas teams represented today or in this year's bracket. But that is training on night before the bus.
Rod Ryan
Robert's mad. He emailed me like, what do you mean what if I win today?
Mo
Oh, you said that.
Rod Ryan
I did.
Alex
He's rusty.
Rod Ryan
The reason I said what if he wins? Wins is because the hall of Fame game would be tomorrow. And I think he's told us that he can't come out to our live broadcast. Right. So whoever wins today, I'm inviting that person to come out and play tomorrow. Good morning everybody. This is six time hall of famer Robert.

Alex
for St. Patrick Patrick's day.
Rod Ryan
If not, I'll pick up and win on Wednesday morning. Either way, one win to go to get into the hall of fame. And I like the sound of a seven time hall of famer. The invitation is there. He said he's gonna work on it. What we would do is have Robert play tomorrow morning. He would show up and then we would grab somebody from the audience to take him off. So we'll do a live fresh out of bed head to head challenge if Robert can't make it. And I told him, listen, I get it, you gotta work. It's Tuesday. What, what are we doing here? He'll play on Wednesday. I'll grab two people from the audience to play fresh out of bed head to head. That person who wins would be your returning champion on Wednesday take on Robert. I just said that live on the air with no stream script. Is that right?
Mo
Yes. I mean I followed.
Rod Ryan
Does that make sense? Did I just make sense? I just had an out of body experience. I just, I was just talking. Was that right? Okay, I think that's what we're going to do. All right, let's move forward here. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. I am for scuba. I. Oh yeah, yeah, I snore, snorkeled when I was in the Bahamas. Snorkeling.
Alex
You know a guy that could have given you some recommendations?
Rod Ryan
Yeah. So I got my six picks up, I got some picks. I took an underwater camera. Now Lewis sent me this fun fact. He said, do you know the reason that scuba divers when they sit on the boat and you know how they kind of fall backwards into the water? You ever see this before? He said fun fact, if they fall forward, they would fall into the boat
Mo
like a circle. Yeah, I see.
Rod Ryan
That was from Lewis.
Mo
Thanks, Louis.
Rod Ryan
Thank you. As real deal. Lewis, I'm sorry, this is the real deal. Is it joke time or is it fun fact time here? What is this, Hal? Did you change the segment on me? There's still water in that pool. I thought this was fun fact time.
Alex
A lot of people don't know that.
Rod Ryan
All right, come on. Can we give some fun facts? No more jokes. The biggest donut eating country in the world. Canada.
Alex
That is fun. They got donuts in the Album Olympics. Am I right?
Rod Ryan
They eat more donuts per capita and have more donut shops per capita than any other country in the world. They do love some donuts up in Canada.
Alex
Slowing down in hockey.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Alex
Stick to the ice, boys.
Rod Ryan
Here's another fun fact for you. Wheel of fortune. The. The actual wheel and the wheel of fortune. 200 lights, 73 steel pins, and it weighs 2,400 pounds. There is exactly one wheel. When the show goes on the road, they take the same wheel you see on television.
Mo
Really?
Rod Ryan
That's neat. The wheel weighs 2,400 pounds. 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. Geez, we gotta go all the way Back to Friday, March 6th. What do you have?
Mo
I have a pair of tickets. See? Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle. They're gonna be with Cammy Kehoe and Starset. October 10th, Woodlands Pavilion. Yeah. You can buy your tickets Ticketmaster.com or you can win them if you know this flashback.
Rod Ryan
They got all the scuba gear on, Hal. If they fell forward, they would fall into the boat. The goal is to get in the water. So they fall backwards into the water. That's why they go backwards. It's your fun fact. All right, now, nobody answer this. You probably don't remember either. What was the band at Tiger woods wedding when he married Elin Nordegren, I believe. Is that the only time he's been married? Yeah. He was only married one time. So the time that Tiger woods Got married in 2004, what was the band? 713. 32125945. It's now time for rock. Out with your stock, out with Captain Cash. They have to fall backwards to get into the water. They would fall into the sense.
Alex
That's good.
Rod Ryan
Okay. Hey, how you been? I'm not.
Alex
I'm just gonna go back to this past Friday.
Rod Ryan
Past Friday. How'd we do? Well, not great. The dad was down 119 points. I know. Kick off this morning at 46. 5:58. Nasdaq lost 206 to 22. 100105 benchmarks in your treasury, it's up to 4.25% and oil stands at $97.11 a barrel. To the most active, the big studs, Boeing, United Health and Verizon.

your best life and be your best you all year round. Please visit mentallyhealthynation.org to learn more. Four or five the buzz. Welcome back. Hi. Rod Ryan Show. We are here. This is us. We're live. It's your fun back. We must be live because we're flashing back to the last time we were live was Friday, March 6. I'll be impressed if you get this one. Hey, George. Good morning.
Alex
Good morning, Ron.
Rod Ryan
Welcome in, dude. Who is the band at Tiger woods wedding? That'll be Hootie and the Blowfish. Yeah, I'd like to see what they charged. Or did they do that on the arm as a favor to their buddy? Were they pals?
Mo
They are pals.
Rod Ryan
Tiger paid them though, right?
Mo
Yes, that's a nice thing to do.
Rod Ryan
A mil. A million minimum to play a wedding.
Mo
Hoodie's expensive.
Rod Ryan
Congratulations, George. You just won. What are you giving them, George?
Mo
You're going to see a Breaking Benjamin with Chevelle in the woodlands. October 10th. Congratulations.
Rod Ryan
Great.
Alex
Sounds fun.
Rod Ryan
All right, George, you rule, man. Thanks for being up early with us. Hang on for me. All right. We gotta get right into it. We got a 30 chance of rain today. Partly cloudy, high of 64. I've asked Chili. He's trying to track down. There is a guy that is in line who has been in line for the hardcore 100 for our St. Patrick's Day live broadcast tomorrow. Tomorrow he's trying to track him down. We're going to try to get him on at 7:05.
Mo
He's there right now.
Rod Ryan
He's there. I got it. He's freezing.
Mo
His took us off.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, it's cold outside. He's out there right now. It's about 50 degrees right now. Hi, Mo. There you are. What you got for Houston's headlines?
Mo
Gas prices are high and Energy Secretary Scott Wright says war with Iran will quote, certainly end in the next few weeks, possibly sooner. Iran has closed that Strait of Hormuz. I think it's that waterway with nearly 20% of the world's oil supply passing through it. And so that's why gas prices are climbing. He added that while the increase is painful for all of us, it will lead to long term improvements in the global situation. Did you see the chairman of the FCC threatening to pull broadcast licenses of TV stations over their coverage of this ongoing war with Iran? He posted his warning on social media referencing truth social posts that President Trump posted. He accused multiple news outlets of running misleading headlines and said if you're doing that, these hoaxes, these news distort distortions, you could have a chance to have your license revoked. Don't lie.
Rod Ryan
Wow.
Mo
Tomorrow, St. Patrick's Day. We're really excited about it. We've got quite the same Patty's party planned at Willy's Grill and Ice House in Katy starting at 6am with our live broadcast. And I've heard we have lots of plans to celebrate, but I learned today that some of our favorite holiday traditions aren't Irish at all.
Rod Ryan
Oh, we've Americanized this thing, right?
Mo
Horror. Okay. We knew that the green beer thing, that had to be American.
Alex
Yeah, we just take stuff that other people do and make it better.
Mo
It's pretty clutch.
Rod Ryan
All right. Green beer is uniquely us.
Mo
Dying a river green. You know that thing they did in Chicago over the weekend?
Rod Ryan
Really cool.
Mo
That's us.
Rod Ryan
That is pretty dope that they do that. Like I, I, I hate we should
Alex
dye more stuff green.
Rod Ryan
I hate that. It's so cool. What else?
Mo
Parades. They don't do that.
Alex
We invented parades.
Mo
The first St. Patrick's Day parade was in Manhattan.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Alex
Hell, yeah.
Rod Ryan
What? What?
Mo
I thought. I mean, it seems like bagpipers would be parading across all of Ireland.
Rod Ryan
It's us.
Mo
It's us. Last one. I'll also. Blew my mind. Corned beef and cabbage.
Rod Ryan
Oh, I'm making that today.
Alex
You bringing us some?
Mo
It's not really a traditional Irish St. Patrick's Day meal.
Alex
Yeah, right, dude.
Mo
It's what the Irish immigrants started eating in New York City because it was cheaper than ham and cabbage. I was shocked. Why would we eat that if it wasn't sauce?
Alex
I think we improved St. Patty's Day for sure.
Mo
Maybe.
Alex
I agree.
Mo
Tomorrow's going to be awesome. If you want any of the details. Details? We've got them all posted up. I owe y' all an apology about Buffy the Vampire Slayer because she's not coming back after all.
Rod Ryan
What?
Mo
I know. I know. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. It was actually Sarah Michelle Geller that announced over the weekend that Hulu scrapped the reboot.
Alex
Come on.
Mo
She said, I'm really proud of what we did. I'm sad you guys won't actually ever see it, but it doesn't take away from the amazing experience that I had. So apparently they had it all together, but. But Hulu's like, nah, they're not doing it. Isn't there? Can't she release it on VHS or something?
Alex
She can probably sell it off somebody else who knows.
Mo
Anyone know what's going on with Linkin Park? They had to cancel a show in Australia. I think it was Thursday. They're blaming an illness in the band, but they canceled it. Sold it just hours before the set was supposed to start. So people had traveled to be there. And people are not mad. Are very mad, actually.
Rod Ryan
So they're not saying who?
Mo
No.
Rod Ryan
So they don't want people piling on the singer. If it was Mike, I was like, oh, okay.
Mo
They're not rescheduling, so hopefully everyone's okay. They've got more shows planned in Australia, so we'll see what happens. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Take it, Alex.
Alex
It was selection Sunday in college basketball yesterday. The NCAA tournament brackets are all set. Duke, Arizona, Florida and Michigan are the 41 seeds in the men's competition. U of H ended up with a two seed. We had seven total Texas schools making the field of 68. And the play in games are going to start tomorrow. The first round of the tournament begins on Thursday. In the NBA, the Rockets are back in action. Tonight they're going to host the Lakers over at the Toyota Center. Tip off for that game is at 8:30 and you can listen to it on our sister Station Sports Talk 790. Down at spring training, the Astros beat the Marlins one to nothing yesterday. But that's not what was really important. Baseball. What was really important is the Team USA continue their domination in all sports by beating the Dominican Republic 2 to 1 and advancing to the championship of the World Baseball Classic. They'll play either Venezuela or Italy Wednesday night. Those two teams play tonight. And then just to keep the American vibes going, Team USA sled hockey completed the the, the, the golden or the triple crown. We're calling it Free Bird is what we're calling it. They beat Canada 6 to 2 in the gold medal game of the Paralympics. We are the free first nation in history to sweep hockey gold in men's hockey, women's hockey and sled hockey. Congratulations to the usa. We already knew we were the greatest but we're just, we're just showing it over and over again. That's what's going on in sports.
Rod Ryan
All right, thank you. All right, here we go. That's one hour down. We'll see if we can get a hold of this guy that is apparently in line and I think he has been a previous owner of the number one T shirt for hardcore 100. So we see if we can check in with him. But we gotta update you on everything what's going on. We're still catching up here. Being back on live with you guys is the best Texas Hammer game for Buzzaween tickets. But just the updates that we've got to give you for tomorrow's live show, man. That's all coming up.
Alex
The Rod ryan Morning Show.
Rod Ryan
6 to 10am the buzz. The sun shining, birds are singing and
Mo
all feels right in the world until
Rod Ryan
the season changes and suddenly you lose your motivation to get out of bed. In fact, one in five people experience some form of depression no matter the season or time of year.
Mo
At the American Psychiatric association foundation, our vision is to build a mentally healthy nation for all. Because we want you to live your
Rod Ryan
best life and be your best you, you all year round. Please Visit mentally healthy nation.org to learn more. 94. 5 the Buzz Good Morning Rod Ryan show. Lincoln Park. Crawling Mo. You were just talking about Lincoln Park. They had to cancel the show. And it's a cancellation. It's not. Hey, we're going to postpone this show. Somebody's sick in the band. And where were they playing? Australia.
Mo
Australia?
Rod Ryan
Yeah. Might have been their only Australian date
Mo
too, in that part of Australia.
Rod Ryan
Okay. Yeah, well, we don't know anything more about it. We don't know who's sick or they haven't given that information. But it's just a cancellation of the band. We hope everybody's doing okay. We're back. Hi. This is us. We are live. It is always good to be back on with you. Did I sleep last night?
Alex
No.
Rod Ryan
Why would I have slept last night? Tossing and turning. Back from vacation. Oh, my gosh, we have so much to do. What was I thinking, taking a week off and then doing a live broadcast that we haven't done in years? If it was easy, we would broadcast live all the time from places it's not. And it's gotten harder over the years, just with less people here and less engineering and less all that. You don't need to know, worry about any of that stuff. But I am excited about. About tomorrow's live broadcast. Willie's Grill and Ice House in Katy. Chili comes that way from work. He lives out there and he said he saw the tent. But then. Alex, you said you saw the tent as well. There's a massive tent out there.
Alex
Very large tent.
Rod Ryan
It's a little colder. It's 48 degrees outside right now. St. Patrick's Day, 2026. Willie's Grill and Ice House. Katie, the tent is up. Are we broadcasting from the tent? Let me. Oh, I wonder if he got back to me. I'm sorry, Logan. I'm sorry. I texted him this morning. Have you guys for as long as you've been doing this job? Mo, you ever send somebody a text first thing in the morning and you're, you know, just because you need information, and then you look at the phone, you're like, oh, God, it's 4:30. Yeah, people don't work and live on my schedule.
Mo
I know, but I think that they don't. They don't. They did that to us. They text us at 10:30pm you can
Alex
start scheduling them now. I've learned that.
Rod Ryan
That.
Alex
So I'll send text to go out
Mo
at 8am 8 is the appropriate time.
Alex
That's when I feel like it's early enough to be like, okay, all right,
Rod Ryan
well, I sent somebody a text this morning at 5:50. And as soon as I hit send, I went, oh, I'm an idiot.
Mo
They probably looks at it.
Alex
Doesn't look at it.
Rod Ryan
I'm sorry that's so early. He must have his phone off, cuz he hasn't responded. So I got. I do have some questions. People are asking a lot of questions about the. The live broadcast tomorrow.
Alex
And.
Rod Ryan
And I hope to get everything answered before we leave today. But I got somebody on the phone with me right now, and there. Let me just say hi, Adam. Aden, is it? Adam.
Alex
Adan.
Rod Ryan
Adan. Adan. Ok, Adan. We have talked before, right? You sent me an email on February 18th. I hadn't heard from you in a while.
Alex
While.
Rod Ryan
It says, hi, Rod. Well, s. I wasn't planning on doing this again anymore now that I'm 45, but I guess one more time couldn't hurt. That's his whole message to me. And then as soon as I saw the email, I'm like, that guy's been number one before. Hardcore 100.
Mo
Stop.
Rod Ryan
So I don't know if that's the day that we announced, but you emailed me on February 18th. Is that when we announced everything going on?
Alex
Yeah. As soon as I heard it, I was like, I guess I got to do it again.
Mo
You're nuts.
Rod Ryan
When? Now. Is there anyone else there? Because I. Because I do have some things I got to clear up. I got a text over the weekend that there was a couple that there was. There was a couple there earlier that they wanted to be the first people in line. When did you get to Willie's Grill and Ice House, Don?
Alex
As soon as I emailed you. I think that was like, 11:45 last night.
Rod Ryan
11:45pm PM PM. Okay, so last.
Alex
It was like, 70.
Rod Ryan
Oh, yeah. It was nice outside. How did you sleep?
Alex
I didn't.
Rod Ryan
Did you bring a chair?
Alex
I brought a little stupid chair in the jacket, and it just got colder and colder to the point where I was just like, I can't do this. I was ready to give up. I. I walked to ihop, and then I put on a second shirt. I ate something. I came back, and I just been here ever since.
Mo
Ihop soap in 24 hours.
Rod Ryan
That's unbelievable. And you're doing this solo?
Alex
Yeah. No, he's here.
Rod Ryan

Rod Ryan
Yeah, they must have bail the IHOP route.

Rod Ryan
Firefighter had to go and fight fires.
Mo
Thank you for your service.

Mo
I've had to say it so many times, and I just don't know how.
Alex
Obviously, I know a lot about it.
Mo
It's 20% of the world's gasoline. Oil goes through it. And they've. Iran has blocked it, so that's why
Alex
you can't go there. But people are looking up, like, what is the straight of Hormuz? It's the straight between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. I've known that for years.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, you've known that.
Alex
Definitely didn't just look it up.
Mo
Basically, like the ship channel.
Alex
Yeah, everybody knows about it. We talk about it all the time in class. But that's what's training at night. The Buzz.

Alex
Today I'm doing great.
Rod Ryan

Alex
Man, I don't know.
Rod Ryan
Come on. Why do I know this one? Why do I know this one, Alex?

I thought it would be easy.
Rod Ryan
This is an easy one. All right. We don't have a winner yet. 713-212-5945. I know it.
Alex
The Rod Ryan Show. Mornings on 94.
Rod Ryan
5, the Buzz. 94. 5 Buzz. That's Bad Omens. And just pretend. Rod Ryan show on this MILF Monday. You look good. Thank you, guys. Everyone that's participating, we got a lot going on, as we always do. But Monday, Hashtag Monday selfie is back. Shell Federal Credit Union gonna give one of you guys a hundred bucks just for dropping a selfie on our Facebook page today. So the whole purpose of that was to see you guys. I love looking at you guys. I. What do we got to look at here, Alex? 10 years. But looking at that face, not much has changed.
Mo
Enough it looks the same.
Rod Ryan
It's enough looking at that face. I need to see some other faces here. Okay, so I'm looking at y' all on Facebook. You all look great. Cannot wait to see you guys. Tomorrow for our live to air broadcast, we're gonna be at Willie's Grill and Ice House. I told you why I came up with the hardcore 100. I have that very rational little fear that I'm gonna throw a party and no one's coming. So I thought if I. If I offered up a free T shirt, maybe, you know, a hundred people would come. So the hardcore 100 was born from that idea that if I could get a hundred people there for a live broadcast in the morning, that might be. That might look pretty cool, you know, we're up. We're early. A hundred people. That's cool. That's fun. Come get. Come get a T shirt. I'm like, man, if we. I don't know if 100 people will show up, but let's make a hundred t shirts. Hardcore 100. It sounds good. We got our first guy in line. Adan. We heard. We heard from him already. He got there last night before midnight. And he's been out there. He hasn't slept yet. That. That guy needs to sleep. The sun's coming. The sun's out.
Mo
He's just sitting there as the morning goes on.
Rod Ryan
I noticed that too.
Mo
Bless him.
Rod Ryan
It's getting cold and he's out there. Adan is our first guy. But you know what's available? What? What are you wearing, Mo?
Mo
This neon shirt. This neon thing I'm wearing?
Rod Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't seen it yet. Let me see.
Mo
I think I'm number three. I'm just warming it up for you. Number three.
Rod Ryan
Let me see. Oh, that looks. Oh, Deb, these shirts look great. Can I see the back? Hardcore 100 red. And Moe's fashioning number three.
Mo
So you can pay extra for that
Rod Ryan
one two through 100, to my knowledge, unless the dawn tells me something different are available, the first 100 people will get a numbered T shirt. Tomorrow morning we are at Willy's Grill and Ice House, the Katy location. It's fun. I'm excited. Excited. Lots more to talk about, lots more to update you on, but we're in the middle of a game here. This is Jim Adler and it's time to play the Texas Hammer game. This is like the second time I've known the answer. With Rod Ryan on 945 the Buck. I'm waiting. It's such a sing along song.
Alex
I thought so too.
Rod Ryan
It's such a. Everyone sings the lyrics to the song. It's like Everclear, you know, one of those songs that just. You grew up listening to it. You know the songs, you know the lyrics. Chuck is gonna get this. Hi, Chuck. Good morning. Hey, good morning. Welcome in to the Texas Hammer game. Where you from? Thanks. Paralyn and I like Mo's question. How are you listening to the show this morning on the radio, on the app. I'm actually on the app. You're an app guy. Okay, so we've had a little bit of everything so far. Far in this game. I'm going to play you a clip of the Texas Hammer spitting some lyrics. Let's take a listen together. Take a small example. Take a tip from me. It's almost like the Hammer knows the song. He's doing it like in time. What? What is the song in the band? It's what I got by Sublime. Yes. Going to Buzzer Weeds. You are.
Mo
You are.
Rod Ryan
Hook them up.

Hey, Rod, what you got for Houston's headlines?
Mo
Gas prices are high.
Rod Ryan
Oh, they are.
Mo
Energy Secretary Scott Wright says war with Iran will, quote, certainly end in the next few weeks, possibly sooner. They have closed the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that Alex knows everything about. Roughly 20% of the world's oil supply passes through it. So oil prices and gas prices are climbing. The secretary guy added that while the increase is painful for all of us, it will lead to, quote, long term improvements in the global situation. Mother Nature throwing several weather threats at the US all in one shot. There is a blizzard burying the upper Midwest, wildfires across the plains, severe storms. I'm talking tornadoes through the east and dangerous flooding in Hawaii, then triple digits in the Southwest. And here in Houston, we're just, it's windy. Wind advisory for our Monday. And the wind is part of that cold front that's pushing temperatures well below average into the 40s. They're dropping as the morning goes. And when you factor in the wind, our temperatures feels like we'll be in the 30s today.
Rod Ryan
Oh, Adon, just let me know. It's 46 outside right now.
Mo
Bless you.
Rod Ryan
He's the first guy in line at Willy's. He's got the first hardcore 100 shirt.
Mo
Yeah, we love you. Did you hear that Target is going to stop selling toys?
Rod Ryan
You told me this morning.
Mo
It's a rumor. Technically, it's going around on social media.
Rod Ryan
So did somebody release some sort of inside like press release or somebody.
Mo
Yes.
Rod Ryan
Okay, go ahead.
Mo
Target. So earlier this month they announced this new strategic plan for their next chapter of growth. One of the highlights in that plan is that they're expanding their groceries and beauty. They want to focus on that. So to make room, they have to streamline their stores, meaning they're cutting back some sections. Looks like sporting goods, toys and electronics are all the cutbacks. More room for grocery, health, baby and beauty items. Reactions on social media, media very mixed. Target hasn't directly responded, but that's what's
Rod Ryan
going on because you got to get people coming back to the store often.
Mo
I like their groceries.
Rod Ryan
Target has good groceries.
Mo
They have like things you can't find at heb. Maybe a little more niche might be the word. Kind of unique stuff.
Rod Ryan
I think maybe I've grabbed a milk or something before. I don't think I've ever like, shopped anything. Yeah, at Target.
Mo
Like organic, snacky things.
Rod Ryan
Nuts.
Mo
Lots of top.
Rod Ryan
You get nuts there, probably nuts, okay,
Mo
but like fun nuts.
Rod Ryan
Fun nuts.
Mo

Prior to this year, he'd been nominated 11 times and lost them all. But last night he won three awards for his role as director of the movie One battle after Another. Alex, all that movie, I did see it.
Rod Ryan
That's the one with Leo. Leo, sir, Is it an all star cast or is it just Leo?
Alex
It's an all star cast and it's really just Sean Penn as like the Terminator but racist.
Rod Ryan
Okay, he won best sporting actor, but was he not there?
Mo
He wasn't there.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo
No, Leo did not win.
Rod Ryan
Remember, wasn't he smoking at the People's Choice Awards or something? He's smoking at the table.
Mo
Michael B. Jordan took home his first Oscar for best actor in his movie Sinners beating out Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie Sinners won a lot of awards. And then a lady named Jesse Buckley won best actress.

And in some other baseball news and American news, Team USA got by the Dominican Republic 2 to 1 last night to advance to the championship of the World Baseball Classic where they're going to play either Venezuela or Italy. Those two teams are going to play tonight, but the championship game is going to be Wednesday night. Just to keep those American vibes going. Team USA sled hockey beat Canada 6 to 2 in the gold medal game at the Paralympics. It's the first time in history that one nation has swept gold in men's hockey, women's hockey and sled hockey in one single Olympics. Pretty awesome. And that is what's going on in sports.

Mo
That's what I asked. I was like, okay, so what usually is the prize?

It's kind of like the fresh out of bed. Head to head. It's more about bragging rights and running around saying that you're the champion.
Mo
Okay, fair.
Rod Ryan
You know, it's free beer Friday. Okay? Most of you guys. And I'm saying most every person that listens to this show can afford to go buy themselves a case of beer. There's just something about winning one.

Rod Ryan
When you said her name, I. I didn't know who it was, but I assumed it was an actress. An actress from the Oscars. Everything. Oscars is trending.
Alex
Maybe like a relative of Jeff Buckley.
Rod Ryan
I didn't think that she is the
Alex
first Irish woman making herstery to win the best actress award. So I thought that Irish female representation was down. And I'm glad to finally see them represented.

Rod Ryan
They must have already been deep money wise. Yeah.
Alex
Pilot of it. Right? And they're like, maybe they're saying nothing. It really seems like they just print money. Like all the streaming services. I feel like when they're like, oh, we lost money. Like, I don't think you did. I don't ever believe it. Like, that Netflix loses money on anything or that Apple loses money on anything because you're just printing money anyways.
Rod Ryan
And she looks amazing. Like in her apology, saying, hey, sorry, the show's not going to be back. We have a link up on links and guests. She looks amazing. It's like, oh, my God. What?
Mo
Why is it had to have sucked really bad.
Alex
Roseanne can come back. But Buffy the Vampire said they're like, hey, whoa, too far.

So we'll be protected. No rain tomorrow, but it is just going to be a little chilly. But we're inside that tent. We're broadcasting. We go live at 6am 5:55. You see what's crossed here?
Mo
My legs, fingers.
Rod Ryan
All my fingers. I got two sets of fingers. I'm crossed.
Mo
Why are you crossed?
Rod Ryan
We just haven't been live in a long time, you know, I'm lucky. We go live every day from here.
Mo
We just gotta do it.
Rod Ryan
So being out, we got some kid that's gonna be standing here tomorrow that I haven't even met him yet. Are you meeting that guy today?
Alex
I don't know.
Rod Ryan
Could you set that up? Can you set up a meeting? Okay, thank you. Set up a meeting. We should meet the guy that's going to be killing our show tomorrow.
Mo
Stop Will. Great.
Rod Ryan
Willie's Grill and Ice House and Katy. Nobody has said anything about a cover charge because there isn't one. Now we do need you to bring money though. There's going to be a ticket situation that you're going to buy drink tickets. You, you've all done this before. You, you don't like. Let's just use the rodeo for example. If you go up to the, the, the Ferris wheel.
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
You don't hand that kid cash. You hand them some tickets that you bought. It's going to be the same ticket situation. You're going to buy tickets. One ticket is like one, you know, Coca Cola or something. Two tickets is a beer, that type of thing. So go buy your tickets and then you walk around and use the ticket situation for all the stuff.
Mo
That's good. It'll keep the lines shorter.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
Keep things running smoothly. I love that they did that.
Rod Ryan
All right, so we're in the tent. We go live at six. Hardcore 100. The first 100 people will get the hardcore 100 t shirts. Oh, you want to see the T shirts that our friends over at BMP made for us?

We should check in with him.
Mo
We should.
Rod Ryan
We'll check in with him after nine, see how he's doing. We checked in with him first thing this Morning. He was out there all night, hadn't slept. It's cold too. Sitting in his little chair. I think he called it a little dumb chair.
Mo
Yeah. Why did he call it a dumb chair?
Rod Ryan
Because I don't think he brought a big enough chair. I don't love it. I don't think feel he's comfortable. Okay, so we go live. We're gonna do a live fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. I've invited Robert. He would be going for win number five tomorrow morning.
Mo
Big day.
Rod Ryan
He's checking with work to see if he can come and play live. We're hoping he can. If not, we'll pull two people from the audience and we'll play fresh out of bed head to head. The winner will call on Wednesday and you'll play Robert I on Wednesday. Captain Cash said he's coming.
Mo
He did say he's gonna stop by in the morning.
Rod Ryan
He'll be live. That's rock out with your stock out. Seven o', clock. We'll get the milk drinkers rolling. And Headline Shell Federal credit union loves St. Patrick's Day. And they love the gallon challenge so much that they're offering $500 to the winner of the gallon challenge. You know what I keep saying that we're going to check in with Chili because I think we need something, somebody. Chili, do we need somebody? I heard, I heard about a firefighter that had to got called into work and doing all his things. So are we, are we getting somebody out there or are we gonna get somebody? But we're gonna have to do because I don't, I don't want to rely on like finding somebody that says, yeah, I'll be there and doesn't show up. So the best thing to do is just get somebody that wants to win $500 to tomorrow. Yeah, that has to be present in order, you know. So with the guy dropping out, we have four and we want five. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah. You want five? Yeah.
Mo
So he said, you want, you want 20?
Rod Ryan
If we could.
Mo
No, no, It's a lot of milk.
Rod Ryan
Yeah, it's too much. 2. 5 is just the right amount of people. 5 is the right amount. And you know, once the first beer starts flowing, somebody's gonna get some beer muscles and be like, I can do that, right? Chubby Leprechaun is a game we're going to play after 8 o'. Clock. Also after 8 o', clock, our friend Eli, which I think he just had a birthday, so he's my friend now. He's the guy that kicks ice cubes under his fridge. If you've never checked out his Instagram barbed wire stills at Barb Wire stills. This guy, I don't know where he found his wife, but his wife lets him put tape on models bodies and he photographs them.
Mo
This is art form.
Rod Ryan
It's his art form. So he'll be out there like taping up a couple of models, one of which was an Instagram feature on Tattoosday. One of them has been featured on our pages before. So Eli said he was going to start taping the Girls up after 8 o' clock in the morning. 9 o' clock hour is kind of like an open hour for us, but we're gonna still give you an opportunity. We're bringing tickets with us. Okay. The list of tickets that we have is crazy. We have stuff to give away while we are out there, tickets to all the shows. All right, so 9 o' clock hour. We're gonna do some stuff, give you some opportunities. Opportunities to win some tickets, play around with the, with the, with the audience that's there. Ten o', clock, we do our shot. We amf. And then the Reverend Butter takes over and he's gonna carve ice right after us. We have not been together in a long time. Are you familiar with the Reverend Butter?
Mo
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
Have you seen him live?
Mo
Yeah, I met him at like the very first thing we did together. That was a wild ago.
Rod Ryan
Ditch day.
Mo
Is that what it was? I don't know.
Rod Ryan
I've slept since then.
Mo
He was so kind, very talented.
Rod Ryan
He is absolutely the coolest.
Mo
And his family was with him.
Rod Ryan
Yeah.
Mo
So sweet.
Rod Ryan
He's the coolest dude in the world. He's the best ice carver in North America. He's like number two in the world for ice carving. So he's got his chainsaws out there and everything.
Mo
It's insane.
Rod Ryan
He starts chainsawing ice when we get done. So we'll get to check that out. Out. Jeremy takes over the live broadcast. Teresa comes on at three. She goes till six, six o', clock, Rosie hits the stage. Love those guys. Headbangers ball hit the stage after Rosie. This all starts at 6:00pm this is going all day. Okay. This is going all day. If you bought VIP passes, those are good all day. If you win the VIP passes, they're good all. All day. If you win VIP passes from us, we'd like you to use them in the morning. That is when the breakfast bar is going to be open though, in the VIP area. So that's a little bit of A rundown of what's going to be happening tomorrow. I know there's probably. You got some questions for me? You can email me if I. If there's something that I didn't cover. But that's what we're doing tomorrow. And the broadcast will be as great as. As you guys make it. Come out and join us and party with us tomorrow. Tomorrow. Can't start serving beer until seven.
Alex

Alex
Okay, One.

Mo
He's not praying about it right now.
Rod Ryan
He's got people coming up and down on the stage the whole time.
Mo
One beer. Look at him.
Rod Ryan
It's his heart.
Alex
It's his.
Rod Ryan
It's his hardest day of the year. Tomorrow it's all of us, really. I think I'm gonna start drinking, like right now and not. Stop.
Mo

Mo
The Buzz.
Rod Ryan
Rock and alternative for Houston.
Mo
The Rod ryan Morning Show.
Rod Ryan
6 to 10am 945. The buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Back live with you. And it's good to be back. Eve 6 is coming to town. Do you remember Fastball?
Alex
Yeah.
Rod Ryan
They're playing. Yeah. About that old couple going off on the road and taking off with one another. That. That song that told a story. Eve 6 and Fastball are going to be at the House of Blues. We got tickets coming up for them. Early in. The nine
Alex
CDs I ever owned was Fastball.
Rod Ryan
Oh, send that to the Wiz. We should put that in for Throwback.
Alex
Fastball and live. I bought the Dolphins Cry. Whatever album had that. That on it. Bought them both, like, I think at Target.
Rod Ryan
Remember when you had to get the
Alex
little thing snapped off the cd?
Rod Ryan
That sounds like two bangers for Throwback Thursday already.
Alex
Wizard, I'm doing your job for you now.
Rod Ryan
So we got tickets and then we got those willies. VIP passes for tomorrow's live broadcast on Mo the Show. 30% chance of rain. Partly cloudy, high today of around 64. Mo with Houston's Headlines thank you, sir.
Mo
We see sharply rising gas prices. So Energy Secretary Scott Wright would like to say that the war with Iran will, quote, certainly end in the next few weeks, possibly sooner. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which roughly 20% of the world's oil supply passes. That's why gas prices are climbing. This guy. Yeah, yeah. He added that while the increase is painful to all of us, it will lead to long term improvements in the global situation.
Rod Ryan
Got it, got it, got it.
Mo
The chairman of the FCC is on social media threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of TV stations over their coverage of the ongoing war with Iran. He posted on social media referencing a truth social post from President Trump who accused multiple news outlets of running misleading headlines about that US tanker aircraft being struck. Apparently that was fake news broadcasters running, quote, hoaxes and news distortions.
Rod Ryan
Oh my God.
Mo
But have a chance to not have their license renewed. So there's that.
Rod Ryan
Did you grow up with the news on in your house and you just kind of believed what they were saying?
Mo
Yeah, everything.
Rod Ryan
Everything they said. He's like, yeah, that must really what. What's happening, happening.
Mo
It is confusing.
Rod Ryan
It's a totally different world we live in now.
Alex
I know I was, I don't know if I was too young to just not know. I should be paying attention to maybe it's not true or whatever.
Mo
Right.
Alex
I was just too dumb to not
Mo
understand whatever was going on that there was a chance.
Alex
I still don't understand most of what's
Rod Ryan
going on, but I don't remember like one of my parents ever saying, I don't believe that. No, like, yeah, they said it on the news. It's real. Yeah.
Alex
Like, did like our parents just think that and just not say anything because that's just how you're supposed to be. Just like, whatever. Like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to stress my kid out about this.
Rod Ryan
I guess I don't. No, I'll ask. No, I don't think my parents ever questioned anything. If it was on tv, it was real. If somebody said if Tom Brokaw said it.
Alex
If I agree with B.R.O. whatever.
Rod Ryan
All right, what else?
Mo
Tomorrow, St. Patrick's Day.
Rod Ryan
Oh, it is.
Mo
We'll see you at our St. Patty's party. Willie's Grill and Ice House and Katie, starting at 6am Be there party. Alex, when we're live broadcast.
Rod Ryan
If you want one of those hardcore 100 shirts, you're going to have to get there before 6.
Mo
Shout out to Adon.
Rod Ryan
He's already there.
Mo
He Is there.
Rod Ryan
We should check in with him.
Mo
We've heard lots of plans for our celebrations tomorrow. But I was today years old when I learned some of our favorite holiday traditions are not Irish at all.
Rod Ryan
So the. The drinking of the green milk comes from the island, right? I mean that the drinking snakes used
Alex
to be green and you had to squeeze the snake juice into the milk before you drink.
Rod Ryan
Drinking a gallon of milk, is that American? Think it is. The gallon challenge is an American thing.
Mo
Dying a river green. That is American. Parades are American.
Rod Ryan
What?
Mo
Did you know that the first St. Patrick's Day parade was in Manhattan?
Rod Ryan
Still going on too, to my knowledge.
Mo
Corned beef and cabbage, also American.
Rod Ryan
That's not from the motherland.
Mo
No. Irish immigrants started eating in it in New York City City because it was cheaper than ham and cabbage that they ate back home.
Rod Ryan
Okay.
Mo
I'm horrified. I also owe you an apology because Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I told you it was coming back and it's not. Sarah Michelle Geller announced over the weekend that Hulu scrapped the reboot. She said, quote, I'm really proud of what we did. I'm sad you guys won't be able to see it, but it doesn't take away from the amazing experience that I had. What happened?
Rod Ryan
What? How bad was.
Mo
Had to be bad.
Rod Ryan
Had to be awful. There's awful things on tv and it sounds like she still wants people to see it. And they're just. The higher ups are saying we're can in this thing.
Mo
Can you release it on vhs?
Rod Ryan
It's got to be just horrible. I don't know what's going on.
Mo
I also don't know what's going on with Linkin Park. The band had to cancel a show in Australia on Thursday. They're blaming an illness in the band but canceled just hours before everything was set to begin. They said the decision was not made lightly. They apologize to fans. The show will not be rescheduled. Everyone gets a refund. But it does make you question what's going on. Give us some answers. Those are Houston's headlines.
Rod Ryan
Go ahead, Alex.
Alex
It was selected Sunday in college basketball yesterday. The NCAA tournament brackets are all set. Duke, Arizona, Florida and Michigan are the four ones seeds in the men's tournament.

And in other baseball news, Team USA got by the Dominican Republic two to one last night to advance to the championship, the World Baseball Classic. They'll play either Venezuela or Italy on Wednesday night. Those two teams are going to play tonight in the second semifinal just to keep the American vibes going.

God, it was funny. Why did it sound like the Texas Hammer was singing this morning on the lyrics? Oh, you have those? Do you have that handy? It was so good today. Maybe I just liked it because I recognized the song. We play a game every Monday at 7:20, the Texas Hammer game where the great Jim Adler, Mr. Adler drops some song lyrics for us. And you have to figure out what song it is. Take a small example. Take a tip from me. Take a tip from me. Yeah. Okay, so he's not singing it, but still I knew it. I knew it was sublime. Thank you.

Rod Ryan

He was outside mainly. Meanwhile, on the other side, Dylan had his chair out there. I had gotten word yesterday that number one was already in line.
Mo
Correct.

Mo
Yeah, like 11pm yeah.
Rod Ryan
Did you guys not. How did you guys not see each other last night?
Mo

Rod Ryan
Well, that was one thing, too, because when I got here, I walked in and talked to the manager.
Alex
She then called the dm, and then
Rod Ryan
we got a guy. I didn't want. I didn't want to, you know, kind of start the line or block the entrance. So she called and she told Me to stand over here. Start the line on the side right by the tent. So she told you where to go? Correct. You put down a chair? Yes. Okay. And that the manager told you where to go?
Alex
Correct.
Rod Ryan
Adan rolled up there before midnight, no manager there, and just like, put a chair. It's like two people showed up on the moon. And they put their flags in different spots.
Alex
Right.
Mo
You might not see the other flag.
Rod Ryan
They're still the first two dudes, but they just. They planted their stakes. But. But Dylan, you're. You started this yesterday at about 4. 48. Dylan's hard. Don already said he goes. He was here before me. Dude, you got the hardcore 100 shirt. You gonna make it all night? All day and all night. As of right now, 36 hours. Calm down. Okay. All right. So hardcore 100 want t shirt one and t shirt two are gone. And I told you Lena Hidalgo called, said she wants 3, 4, 5, and 6 for some friends. And she said she can't. She's not sleeping out and she might not even show up. She just wants the shirts. She feels like she's entitled to those shirts. So I. I don't know. I'm. I'm in a weird spot. She wants those shirts, right?
Mo
What do you do?

Whoever is the current champion shows up and plays live. If you can't, you can't. I'm not going to hold that against you. Then we'll put you out on Wednesday. Did he. Did he say how he was going to contact us? He's probably going to email us, but I'm also already putting money on it that he's not gonna make it. Okay. If he hasn't messaged us by now, I. I don't think he'll make it. But if he walks in at 6:20, hey, I hope I'm wrong. I'll get him up on that stage and he can play. And we'll, we'll pull one person out of the audience. If he doesn't show up, we'll pull two people out of the audience to play live. Fresh out of bed, Head to head. But big morning for Robert and they've been bribing me. Like, I've been getting emails all week of like, hey, I got an extra bottle of tequila if I can play the first. I'm like, no, man. You know, we got to, we got to keep it fair for everybody. But, you know, I don't know. I'll holla at him in a little bit. Yeah, see? Comes across as bribable. Where would he get that idea?
