Transcript

[A]

Okay, here we come. Here we come. Let's go. Let's go. Good morning, this is Ed McMahon. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's Rod Ryan.

[B]

J.

[A]

Wakey, wakey. Hands off snakey Rod Ryan show. Checking in on this wild card Wednesday. Wild smack dab in the middle of the week, we got Josh. He's been fun. I look forward to him every morning. Fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. He's going for win number four. Gave us a little bit of a scare yesterday. I think we'll get back on track today. Can you beat him? We'll play at 6:20 triumph tickets in homeroom. We'll get to those on the fun fact flashback. You want to get qualified to hang out with Blue October in Cabo? We're gonna talk about that at 7:20 today. Motley Crue tickets at 8:20. And a to more today on the show. 10% chance of rain, partly cloudy, highs of 82 today. There's Mo right there with Houston's headlines.

[C]

Hey, Rod.

[A]

Well, I guess nothing. Probably don't have much to talk about. Nothing happened yesterday, right?

[C]

The United States and Iran agreed to a two week ceasefire last night just before President Trump's deadline that would have triggered what he described as devastating strikes on their power plants and bridges. The deal came together after Pakistan's prime minister, who's kind of acting as like an in between, not a mediator, but just like an in between of sorts. He asked Trump to extend the deadline and invited both sides to peace talks on Friday. We'll see if that happens. Iran's foreign minister confirmed acceptance, saying the country's armed forces would cease operations and that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be possible for two weeks.

[D]

Good.

[C]

Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed yesterday the release of an American journalist who'd been kidnapped in Iraq. In a social media post, he said the journalist had been abducted by members of a terrorist group in Baghdad and the State Department is working to support her safe departure from Iraq. The group said she was held and only released on the condition that she would leave Iraq immediately. Nearly a third of Americans admit avoiding their neighbors.

[A]

Oh, I've been in a bad situation before. Not now, but I have been in bad situation before.

[C]

This isn't referring to like the time you're, you're in a rush and you just like, don't roll down your window and just give a wave instead of like, interacting. This is not that. This is overall avoiding it all.

[A]

Oh, no, I'd get out of my car, pretend I was on the phone. Because they wanted to talk all the time.

[C]

Yes. That's different. Right.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

This is like. You just. You don't like them.

[C]

They don't even know them.

[A]

Oh, no.

[C]

30% of. 30% of Americans don't even know their neighbors.

[A]

I've had neighborhoods that I've lived in that I didn't really know my neighbors very.

[C]

I can't imagine that life.

[D]

I just started being tired of my neighbors.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

What if you needed something or needed to all band together to get something done? You just don't.

[A]

The neighborhood that I was living in, in Hurricane Harvey. Yeah. It's the first time I met most of those people was standing in the street when everybody lost power.

[C]

What if you needed an egg?

[A]

I had nobody to go to for that.

[C]

No eggs?

[A]

No. I had nobody. Chickens, I had no go to for that at all.

[C]

Go to the grocery store. I don't know. I think it's kind of Sad still, though, 80% of people, Americans, say that they wish they had a strong community because it is important. All right. In entertainment news, Kanye west blowing up the headlines. We found out yesterday he'd been barred from entering the UK and because of that, London's huge wireless music festival, which he was scheduled to headline, had to be canceled. So last month, the festival announced Kanye was their headliner. And then sponsors started trickling out. Big sponsors, Pepsi, Anheuser Busch. Them dropping out seemed to kind of bring attention to the entire situation. But then Kanye himself is, like, scrambling. He's like, I'll meet with Jewish leaders in the uk. He said his goal was to go. To go to London and present a show of change, unity, and peace and love through music. They didn't believe that.

[A]

No, no. Who believes it? Nobody.

[C]

You want to believe it for a second, but then he's, is it damn us once. It's happened too many times. That one.

[D]

So George Bush said, we're not fooled.

[C]

Kanye.

[D]

He didn't say that, did he?

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

The day after announcing their new album, Reality Awaits, the Strokes quietly set a new song, two fans, on cassette tapes.

[A]

This is what you were talking about on Reddit.

[C]

I told you, if you need anything, you ask Alice.

[D]

I think I was dialed in. I was dialed in.

[C]

He will dig and find things for you. The new song is called Going Shopping. The tapes were sent via snail mail. If you had signed up for the band's text messaging marketing list, which I think is the cutest. A fan posted a recording online, and then the buzz got world premiere. The song looks like we get to play the full thing at what, 8:20 this morning?

[A]

Yeah. Jeremy had it at 11. Remember yesterday, the whole time we're like, there's something going on with the Strokes.

[C]

You felt it.

[A]

Something was going on with them. So 11 o' clock, it it world premiered. Okay, we're going to play it for you at 8:20. You tell us what you think of it.

[C]

I love it. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

You love that we're playing it or do you love the song? You said you love it.

[C]

Happy for y'?

[B]

All.

[C]

I don't know. I haven't heard it yet.

[A]

Oh, me neither.

[C]

Did you hear it?

[D]

A little bit of it's just a

[C]

tease in the background. Yeah, I know you're the fan, so I. I trust what.

[A]

Alex, what do you got in sports?

[D]

Astro? The Rockies last night, five to one. They're gonna wrap up their series with the Rockies this afternoon. First pitch is gonna be at 210, and you can listen to it on our sister station sports talk790. Rockets got a win last night. They beat the Suns 119 to 105. They've now won seven in a row. They'll have a day off before playing the 76ers tomorrow night at the Toyota Center. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

All right, here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. First phone call. What do you want to talk about? Chili, open up every line. Let's go. Wild Card Wednesday, the most interactive show on the radio starts right now. Come on. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Wakey, wakey. Hands off cupcakey. It's Wild Card Wednesday and we are going to be busy. We got four hours for you. Very busy today. I'm excited about this Josh guy. I get excited, excited every morning for him. Yesterday, Mo, I was a little worried about the guy.

[C]

It was rough yesterday with your five questions.

[A]

You know what? Maybe he plays to his competition. He didn't play a Hall of Famer yester, but when he plays hall of

[C]

Famers, he steps up.

[A]

He doesn't mess around. Maybe he plays to them. I don't know. But Josh is going for win number four. Fresh out of bed, head to head. It's been kind of fun listening to him each and every day. I got Triumph tickets for you in homeroom on the Fun fact flashback, a 100 Willie's Grill and Ice House gift card coming your way at 7:20. You win that, boom. You walk away a champion.

[C]

[A]

In a minute. All right, hang on. Hang on to those Triumph tickets. They're coming up for you. But first, 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. All right, here's some new fun facts for you. Hey, Captain Cash. Brother Rod. Good morning. Hey, we got a little ceasefire going on. I'd like to see a little something on Wall Street. I'd like to, you know, maybe a little party on Wall street because of that. It'd be nice. Sounds like a good idea. Like to see it reflected, you know, in my portfolio. Do what I can. Okay, thanks. I'll get to you in a minute. There are 16.1 million. I know some nerd's gonna love this. Today, there are 16.1 million barrels of bourbon currently aging in the state of Kentucky. When I say nerds, I said, I have friends now.

[C]

I was gonna say my husband, my brother. I could sell this bottle for $20,000. Sell it.

[A]

You know what you can do with that Pappy Winkle? You know what? Nobody cares about your Pappy Van Winkle.

[C]

I love it so much.

[A]

You can't say that you collect bourbon, okay? They're not baseball cards.

[C]

My house.

[A]

You don't collect baseball cards. Hey, this is my Ken Griffey, junior Rookie. But that's what they say. But that's what these nuts are saying now. They're like, oh, no, I, I, I collect.

[C]

Don't drink that.

[D]

That.

[A]

Yeah. That's more than three times the population of Kentucky, which is about 4.5 million. 16.1 million barrels of bourbon currently aging in the state of Kentucky. There you go. You are not allowed to modify the weather in Colorado without a permit. What? That is fun.

[C]

What does that mean?

[A]

The main reason is to keep ski resorts from doing what they say strange things. To make it snow. Ski resorts, they need snow, man. Like, they will try to manipulate and do things like what I don't know. Sends rockets in the sky. I don't know what they're doing over there. I don't live in Colorado. You cannot manipulate the weather. Put stuff in the clouds, makes it rain. Okay, there's. Well, hell, if you have a question.

[C]

I've heard, I've heard about that.

[A]

Unless the seals. Hell, why don't polar bears eat penguins? Zip code. Thank you.

[C]

You're so smart.

[A]

Hey. Bob Barker was 1 8th Native American. He grew up on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota. That's neat. I thought he was just tan. 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. He always had a nice glow about him.

[C]

Did he?

[A]

Sure did. Especially when he went white. That white hair really accented that beautiful skin on Bob Bark when he was touching all the women. Oh, my God. Hi.

[C]

Hey.

[A]

Tell me what you got to give away.

But Frederick Bauer, he was an inventor. And before he died in 2008, his final request was to be cremated and buried in this. I need to know what this is. 713-212-5945.

Well, he invented the thing that he was kind of buried in. What. Who are we talking about? What are we looking for here? And I have like five flavors of these on top of my refrigerator right now. Pringles can. Pringles.

[C]

Michael's loyal. I appreciate that.

[A]

Michael sounds like an expert too. Dude, what's the best flavor of Pringles? Oh, with me, it's a toss up between the two basics, the cheddar and the sour cream. I really like the sour cream cream, though. Those are my favorite cheddar as well. The sun. The sun. The siblings were debating what flavor to use when they buried their old man. And the one son, he said, I won. He goes, look, we need to use the original here. So he died in 2008, and the dad's request was to be cremated and buried in a Pringles can. Mike, you win.

But right now, immediately, there's Mo right there with Houston's headlines.

[C]

So the United States and Iran agreed to a two week cease fire last night, just before Trump's deadline that would have triggered what he described as devastating strikes on Iran's power plants and bridges. So the deal came together after Pakistan's prime minister, who's kind of acting as an in between, asked Trump to extend the deadline and invited both sides to peace talks. On Friday, Iran's foreign minister confirmed acceptance, saying the country's armed forces would cease operations and that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would be possible for two weeks. The White House said negotiations will continue. Okay, if you've been kind of enjoying this mild, low humidity stretch of weather this week.

[A]

You and the weather again.

[C]

Soak it in while you can. Shift.

[A]

What did you tell her? That she's good at the weather or something. But why does she feel like today.

[C]

I know you're not excited.

[A]

I don't believe you.

[C]

The bringer of news right now.

[A]

Go ahead.

[C]

More humidity is headed our way, Rod. Temperatures are starting to rise and Friday is when the rain is coming. Supposed to stick around through the weekend. This is your warning. Keep an eye out. If your plans this weekend involve being

[A]

outside, don't wash the car.

[C]

I know you're trying to power wash.

[A]

I do.

[C]

I'm looking out for you to wash it again. Don't. Doritos are really expensive and they're too expensive for Walmart. In fact.

[A]

Oh, what's going on?

[C]

So Walmart is taking away space that used to be for Doritos and other expensive brands because they're too expensive and people aren't buying them. So they're just sitting on the shelf.

[A]

Really?

[C]

$7 a bag?

[D]

That's pretty ridiculous.

[C]

I looked just now at HEB, it was like $6.50, but there was a coupon.

[A]

Is it really that much?

[C]

People just aren't buying them.

[A]

Is now. Are all snacks more expensive? Is Doritos way more expensive than everyone else?

[C]

Way more expensive. You have an off brand option and you're saving like four bucks. Why wouldn't you do that? You're stocking up on cheaper options or you're avoiding altogether because you just. It's expensive. Well, PepsiCo, they own Frito Lay. The people that make Doritos, they're kind of feeling it. So back in February, they finally announced they're going to try and win all their fans back. They're slashing prices by up to 15%. But we know what they did last time. They said they're going to slash prices. They did slash prices, but they also made the bag smaller.

[A]

Shrinkflation, we're on to you. Frito Lay, we know Shrinkflation around here.

[C]

They've missed target revenues by several billion dollars over two years. They're really feeling it.

[A]

So Walmart is pulling Doritos from.

[C]

I mean, they're going to still be there. They're just not going to get as much real estate on the shelves like they used to.

[A]

That's got to be a nuke for the Pepsi Cola company. Yeah, when Walmart doesn't move like that. That's got to be millions of dollars.

[C]

They're feeling it. Apparently. It could cost $15 million to remove any of your scandals from your movie. I'm talking about the Michael Jackson biopic.

[A]

Oh, I saw this story this morning. And then I just. Go ahead. I blew past.

[C]

I had to look into it because apparently the movie was done.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And I don't remember if they gave us like when it was going to come out, but I feel like we've been talking about the movie forever.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

So it was finished, but it included all the horrible stuff. The scandals involving children.

[A]

I don't believe it. I don't believe it. The family signed off. The family signed off on this movie. As a matter of fact, there's a relative playing Michael Jackson in this movie. We were never going to get stuff like that in this movie. It says in there, whatever you're about to say, I believe your. Your weather story more than this. Okay.

[C]

They had to take it out because Michael's settlement with the alleged victim, one of them included a clause that barred any depiction of this victim in a movie.

[A]

Their ass hurts. This is what. This is what they're doing. Hey. We wanted to bring you the real story, but because of legal reason, reasons we can't. So we had to take it out. Nothing was ever filmed that would put Michael in a bad light.

[C]

Janet's not in the movie either. Not at all referenced. Why is that?

[A]

Oh, I don't know. That's weird. I don't know. The family's weird.

[D]

I don't know.

[C]

Well, we'll see it. It just feels very interesting.

[A]

I never thought for a second that a Michael Jackson movie was going to talk about him diddling kids. Yeah, I never thought that.

[C]

In a second, they're claiming it did. All right, we'll see. The Foo Fighters just announced something a little different for their fans. In store listening parties for their new album. Yeah, not just another album launch. The Foo Fighters are hosting in store listening parties for their upcoming album, your favorite toy.

[A]

That's something that, like, baby young bands do.

[C]

Isn't it fun? They're going to record stores the end of April across the United States. It's officially released April 24th.

[A]

This sounds like things could get out of control to me.

[C]

It doesn't say if, like, the band's actually going to be there, but it's. It makes it sound like yes. Right.

[A]

Oh, okay. I just assumed. I'm sorry.

[C]

No, same.

[A]

I thought they were gonna be there,

[C]

but there's only three dates, so maybe they're gonna be bopping around. I'll keep an eye on it. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

If they're keeping it that limited, you know, maybe somebody will walk. Maybe Pat Smear walks in.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know. Okay, that's cool. Music blog page. That story's on there. And so much more.

[C]

Michael Jackson.

[A]

Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson's got a blog page? Yeah, he put up a blog page for that. I don't know believe that story at all. I'm sorry. Hi, Alex.

[D]

The Astros lost the Rockies last night five to one. It was their third straight loss. They'll wrap up their series with the Rocky and Christian Javier will be on the mound for the stro. Going up against Colorado's Michael Lorenzen. First pitch is at 210 and you can listen to the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. In basketball, Rockets got a win last night. They beat the Suns 119 to 105. Kevin Durant had 24 points in the night to leave the team in scoring. The Rockets have now won seven in a row. They're going to have a day off today before they play the 76ers tomorrow night at the Toyota Center. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

You've been harsh on the Rockets. Maybe they heard you.

[D]

Oh, they're going to be a first

[A]

round out, but maybe they heard you. I hope.

[D]

I'd like to think that I could motivate them. I think maybe you did me trying. That is not going to get them past the first round of the playoffs. Well, they're a one and done team.

[A]

Can we celebrate the seven in a row?

[D]

We can, but we know how it will.

[A]

Wow, he's still harsh. The Rod ryan Morning Show, 6 to 10am The Buzz 94. 5 the Buzz Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Wild Card Wednesday. It's our Instagram feature today. Wild Card Wednesday. It is our number one blog page. But like I said, Chili's got a full lineup for you today. There might be. This is terrible. There might be room. We might have one more hole available for sponsorships. For a sponsorship for our golf tournament. There might be 18 holes, right? Is there still 18 holes in golf? Yeah, our tournament's 18 holes. There might be one hole that's not sponsored. We, you guys, thank you.

[C]

Holy crap.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We're doing really, really good this year for this tournament. I don't know what's going on next week. We're golfing. All the money benefits Texas Adaptive Aquatics. I don't even know if we have that one hole, but if you have a question about it, boom. I'll put you in contact with the peeps. Last I was told there was one sponsorship available. So, you know, if you still wanted to get your business involved in our golf tournament next week, you wanted to come out and do something with us. It's great exposure. I'll talk you up. I'll talk about how great you are.

[C]

We can't wait to hang out.

You have to be great if I'm gonna say how great you are, though. Like, I can't just say you're great and, you know, you gotta be great. Chili has that on links and guest this Michael Jackson movie. Forget about it. I'm done.

[C]

You're out.

[A]

Yep. I wasn't gonna. That wasn't a theater movie for me anyway. No Michael Jackson. I do want to see the movie. I just. It wasn't gonna get me to the theaters. I don't even think I went to go see Elvis in the theaters. I think I waited for that. I watched it at home, as a matter of fact.

[C]

You didn't watch it at home, as

[A]

a matter of fact. I know I watched it at home. Yeah. With Austin Butler. It was good. Oh yeah, it was good. If you want to find out more about this Michael Jackson movie that's coming

[C]

out soon, tell us what you believe.

[A]

Links and guests. All right, so I don't know about you, Alex, but I came in this morning and I thought maybe today it was going to be a little like yesterday. I walked in and, and Mo had all these wonderful drinks for us yesterday.

[D]

Yeah. Beverages.

[A]

Starbucks had some new refresher drink.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Come out yesterday, run us treats. And I, I was thinking that maybe this is going to be a daily thing now.

[C]

Oh, am I, Am I your girl?

[A]

That was just a one. That was just a one and done. Like I thought I was getting this new drink every day. It was wonderful. It was, it was caffeinated and it was fruity and it was all in one. And I thought, but surely she's going to do this every day now.

[C]

Do you think you could be an everyday Starbucks refresher kind of guy?

[D]

I think I could.

[A]

It was wonderful. But I guess it was a one and done thing.

[C]

It was brand new yesterday, Rod.

[A]

I want everybody talking about it.

[C]

I like to keep you on the cusp of what's hip and cool.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And so I feel like we. Our Starbucks over here opens at 3am God bless them. God bless them. And I tell them that Ms. Sunny, I tell her when I see her.

[A]

You, you're on a first name basis with the Starbucks person?

[C]

I like to chat. I'm usually one the of. Of very few people in there at 3 o' clock in the morning.

[A]

Okay. I know you want to chat. Do you think they want to chat you up?

[C]

They're like, hi, you're nice. Why are you here?

[A]

They probably get some pretty snappy people at three in the morning.

[C]

Exactly. Okay. So it was nice, it was fun. But yes, it was brand new yesterday. And that's why I treated you.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

But now you're addicted and I'm cool with that. A boost of caffeine.

[A]

Yeah, it was nice.

[C]

But be careful when you're ordering for your kid. You're getting the refresher without caffeine.

[A]

Yeah. Like, that's.

[C]

That's one of the things the kids love.

[A]

London likes. London likes the pink drink.

[C]

Exactly.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Yesterday, I got the pink drink with caffeine new at Starbucks.

[A]

Okay. There. That's what it's like.

[C]

My daughter drinking the caffeine one. All right, well, thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I will be your Starbucks girl anytime you need me to be.

[A]

Rod, There is a thank you.

[C]

You're welcome.

[A]

That was on the food blog yesterday because it debuted yesterday. There's all new food stories. Taco Bell. People are putting peanuts in their Pepsi.

[C]

Is that a Southern thing? I've heard of it before.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

You've heard of it.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Peanuts in Pepsi. Yeah. It's not new.

[C]

No.

[A]

So the people that are. There's people online that are putting peanuts in Pepsi, and they're going, oh, my God, I invented this thing. And then there's a million people going, this has been going on forever.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

The next 1920s peanuts and Pepsi. Yes. Called southern caviar or farmer's snack.

[A]

The last time this happened was some kid.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Some kid heated up his Dr. Pepper.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

And he was serving it warm in the winter, and the kid thought he invented it.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Somebody said that Dr. Pepper used to market themselves as a warm drink.

[C]

I didn't know that.

[A]

I think so.

[C]

I thought you were going to talk about when kids started eating soup, and Alex is like, that's just. Just soup. Why are we. Why do we think that's a new thing? It's soup.

[A]

Yeah. Tik tok. Some kid put butter on his toast, and he thought he invented.

[D]

Guys, if you see this new thing, I call it buttering the toast.

[A]

Guys, I heated my bread.

[D]

I butter maxed my toast.

[A]

I bought. I bought this thing called a toaster. It's amazing. You should try this.

[D]

Yeah, it just, like, makes it crispier.

[A]

The toast hardens it. Remember when we posted the girl who thought that she was the first person ever to find the.

[B]

The.

[A]

The. The crumb tray on the bottom of her toaster? She was losing her mind. She thought, like, she had discovered a new world. And she pulled. She pulled the tray out from under her toaster. She's like, look at all these crumbs. Do you guys know that there's. There's a tray under here?

[C]

Life hack

[A]

[D]

Hey, buddy.

[A]

Gravy day.

[D]

It is gravy day. Got an excited episode coming up for you.

[A]

I can't wait. I can't wait. I'm excited. What is trending right now?

[D]

Ceasefire is trending still. It's the number one thing. Probably will be all morning.

[A]

All day.

[D]

We are, we're chill with Iran right now.

[B]

Now.

[A]

Hey, pretty involved.

[D]

Like, right now. We're pretty chill. We're like, hey, what if we don't shoot at you? You guys don't shoot at us. Which is always chill when I negotiate. I've been reading the Art of War. That's the first thing you try to do is.

[A]

And then. Did you catch that Captain Cash at the very end, he goes, futures. He never says this. Futures are way up.

[D]

Well, it's because oil and all the other stuff he's crushing, right?

[A]

I guess. But that means, like, it's gonna be a big day on Wall Street, I think. I don't know what that means to

[D]

me, but probably not a whole lot. Not much.

[A]

You as a finance bro, you're going to kill it tonight.

[C]

Finance, how's that?

[D]

How's my bitcoin doing?

[C]

Show me your vest.

[D]

Diana Rossini is trending. She is an NFL reporter and she was seen possibly canoodling Patriots head coach Mike Rabel at a hotel in Arizona. This looks like it was last week. Last week was the owners.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

Like, the league meetings were in Arizona. The photos from tmz, like, they hugged. He's kind of, like, holding hands, like. But, like, I don't know.

[C]

The fingers are intertwined.

[D]

Like, she talks to coaches all the time. I know they're both. I know she's married.

[C]

They're both married.

[D]

He's married as well. But I, I think it was, like, it looked like people that had, like, seen each other and had been working together for a long time, and then, like, they were at the pool at the same time. And then they were sitting in the pool. Like, I don't think there's anything wrong with. Like if I saw Mo at a hotel we were at and like we were sitting at a. At a pool, I wouldn't be like, that's weird.

[C]

But I wouldn't ever intertwine. It looked a little lingering.

[D]

It did look a little angry. But I feel like they also knew where they were. So it probably would not have been.

[A]

I don't think.

[D]

I don't know. But people are talking about it right

[C]

now, so it's trending pictures.

[A]

Am I horrible for wanting Mike Grable to be busted cheating?

[C]

Is he like a really good guy?

[A]

Yeah. Am I horrible for that?

[D]

No.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

No, because you hate Patriots, so I get that. Like, like if this was the Eagles coach, it's absolutely a real thing.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

If not, since it's not the Eagles coach, I'm not doing that. I'm going nix you out of either.

[A]

I hope it's not true. What else?

[D]

Also, we had Zamith. Have you seen Zamith?

[A]

Tell me you've seen Zamb. Sorry, I haven't.

[D]

The Utah mammoth unveiled their new Zamboni yesterday.

[A]

No.

[D]

It is a mammoth shaped Zamboni and it was used with pieces of the Zamboni from the Salt Lake City Olympics when it was here last.

[A]

Why haven't we done this sooner?

[D]

Zammoth, go look it up. It looks they made a mammoth rocks.

She sent in a great sunrise picture. I just didn't get to them in time. I don't know what was going on. But we've been missing out on some good sunrises out there the last couple of days. Partly cloudy today 10, chance of rain. Highs of around 82. What we're doing right now has got me really, really excited. Number one, I know what the Bambu October means to people. It's one of those bands, it's different. There's a couple bands out there that like, off the top of my head I can tell you there's just bands that connect with lyrics and. And that makes that band even more special to them. Like, look what Jelly Roll's got going on. I've seen it with the band Stained. Something about Aaron's lyrics. And then obviously the things that Justin writes, it resonates. And that's. It's not. They're not fans. They're like super fans. And Blue October realizes this. They're always super appreciative. So they went out and like put a hold on an entire resort for a weekend in Cabo san Lucas. Like 400 rooms. It's only available to Blue October fans that weekend. It's like a four day weekend with Blue October, you're with like minded people. Everyone's the number one Blue October fan. And then the guys in Blocktober are walking around and they're doing blocktober things. Okay. The whole weekend. Let's get somebody qualified for that trip. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Hello?

[C]

The Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz.

[A]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Papa Roach forever. Congratulations. Another person qualified for that exciting all expense paid trip to hang out with Blue October in Cabo San Lucas. Four days of just Blue October fans hanging out with Blue October. We talked to Justin and Ryan about it. They hang out, they're just walking around. They're on vacation too. Even though they're kind of performing and doing, you know, things, they're there and they know they're there to hang out with you guys. Ice. They're in the pool, they're drinking the dirty monkeys. If they drink, that's a real drink. Chad said, he goes, oh, that's got to be the shot for skip day this year. Or ditch day. I go, no, that's a. To my knowledge. I mean, the last time. I haven't been to an all inclusive place in a long time, but yeah,

[C]

I feel like it's bananas and rum and coffee liqueur, I think. Yeah, Chocolate.

[A]

I feel like I was on the bad side of a, a lot of dirty monkeys.

[C]

I just spit bad side of a dirty monkey.

[A]

Cuz I was. It might have been the very first time I was ever, ever at an all inclusive. And some people can't handle it. And I'll admit it, I couldn't handle it. And I just said, you mean I can have as many of these as I want? Now listen, fat boy wasn't counting calories or doing any of that back then and I was just like, okay, you know what? Bring me, bring me a dirty monkey every nine minutes. Okay?

[C]

I mean, can you imagine?

[A]

It had to be a zillion calories.

[C]

I'm sure it's not good for you.

[A]

Banana liqueur, Kahlua. It's a drink.

[C]

The chocolate syrup though, a lot.

[A]

That's what makes it dirty. Yeah. Oh, I was 250 just sitting there. I was 250 pounds, living my best life, drinking and 1500 dirty monkeys back to back.

[C]

Oh man.

[A]

I also. Now I didn't misspeak. That's a real drink. Yes, I did misspeak about a drink earlier and I said, I don't know, I'm an alliteration guy. So I thought, I go, oh, people are putting peanuts and Pepsi.

[C]

Uhhuh.

[A]

I was corrected by chile and a bunch of people. It's salted peanuts in your Coke is what the drink is.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

It's, it's an old timey thing. It's like a classic snack hack before they called it snack hacks. Dumping peanuts in your bottle of Coca Cola seems to be a bottle thing too. Like, that's what makes me think it's

[C]

old, the glass bottle. Yeah, but it is superior glass bottle.

[A]

I'm sure it works in a plastic bottle, but everyone's saying you got to do it in a glass bottle. So they say. People have done this on road trips. There was a time when it was known as the Farmer's Coke. People would combine them when they were out working on the fields. And then they said it may have started with. Do you guys remember RC Cola?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Was that down? Was it? You were in Atlanta, maybe. RC Cola. Was that everywhere? Yeah, rc. RC Cola. Yeah, it was. It was a player for a while.

[C]

Yeah. Like it was the 25 cent machine.

[A]

Like tab. In all the vending machines, Tab was a player and then it just went away. So peanuts in cola have been kind of having a moment in social media.

[C]

Thank you for clarifying.

[A]

Kids are thinking that, you know, they've invented something. I don't think there's anything earth shattering about it. I think the Coke still tastes like Coke and peanuts still taste like peanuts and there's some kind of a salty sweet thing going on. I mean, what's to prevent you from taking a handful of peanuts and then washing it down with your Coke? It just doesn't. It's not as cool. Was. I mean, it seems like a choking hazard, putting them in the bottle. That's on the. That's on the food blog page today. A lot of hacks and food things. No new Starbucks drinks today.

[C]

No, but you should still enjoy one.

[A]

Oh, yesterday we were living it up, guys.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh my God, you guys look so

[C]

cute with your little pink drink.

[A]

You remember yesterday we walked in, there was pink drinks everywhere around here from Starbucks Living, dude.

[C]

It's like living your pink boys.

[A]

I think there was fresh strawberries in mind.

[C]

There were.

[A]

It was wonderful. Wonderful. Thank God. Yeah, it was awesome.

[C]

New energy refreshers at Starbucks.

[A]

Not today. Yesterday it was just.

[C]

Everybody else can still get theirs. They're just not on my dime. Okay.

[A]

Just weird. They just did that one day.

[C]

One day.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Spoiled turd.

[A]

We were. Oh boy. We were living yesterday. Satisfied we were living still to come. I got Motley Crue tickets. Coming closer to around 8. 20, baby. Metal hailstorm tickets today on the show. Early in the 9 o' clock hour. Know the show, Mow the show. Black Crows tickets. I mean, we got a Lot of tickets for you.

[D]

Houston's rockin alternative, the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[C]

6 to 10am, 94. 5 the buzz.

[A]

94. 5 the buzz, sublime and Ensenada. Didn't we see. We did see it, 100%. Sublime's doing a cruise.

[C]

Oh yeah, it's kind of.

[A]

I never even thought to ask the guys in Blocktober Rock cruises are huge. Or there's country cruises. I'm sure.

[C]

Boy band cruises. I've seen.

[A]

There's oldies.

[C]

Yes. We know people that go on those

[A]

where there's like one guy from the Temptations still in the band or something and they're playing the Sublime.

[C]

One has like, like 40 artists on it though.

[A]

Yeah, it's big.

[C]

There's tattoo artists, tattoos, wellness, comedy.

[A]

Yeah, Jason Ellis is doing comedy on that thing. Geez, I can only imagine the weed on that on that cruise ship. But yeah, there's a Sublime cruise out there. What, what Blue October is doing. They're like, skip the cruise. Let's just rent out an entire. Like they got the whole place that's all included.

[C]

Exclusive resort.

[A]

Yeah, they got the whole resort in Cabo San Lucas. So Tomorrow again at 8:20 we'll get somebody qualified. Sublime. You can if you want to look into their cruise. I know that they're promoting that on their Instagram, but yeah, there's a bunch of bands on that one. 10 chance of rain, partly cloudy, highs of around 82 today. Motley Crue tickets coming your way at 8:20 and I got Mo right now with you. Houston's headlines.

[C]

Hey, Rod.

[A]

Hi.

[C]

The United States and Iran agreed to a two week ceasefire last night, just before President Trump's deadline that would have triggered what he described as devastating strikes on Iran's power plants and bridges. So the deal came together. We had Pakistan's prime minister kind of acting as the in between, asked Trump to extend the deadline and invited both sides to peace talks on Friday. Well then Iran's Foreign minister confirmed everything. He said the country's armed forces would cease operations and open up passage through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks as their negotiations continue.

[A]

Was he bluffing?

[C]

I don't know if we ever believe anything they said.

[A]

The name of Trump's book, the Art of the Deal. Oh, I'm saying, was he bluffing?

[C]

Was Trump bluffing?

[A]

Was he using such strong language and strong talk to get them to get to this position?

[C]

I believed him.

[A]

So that we can talk.

[C]

Did you believe him?

[A]

I didn't know what was going to happen. Yesterday at 6:00 or 7:00pm Yeah, I, I didn't think that it was possible to just blow up all their bridges and stuff. That's just me. I'm like, they gotta come to a deal. I think it's like the strong talk.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And then, I don't know. We don't know. We don't know if he was bluffing or not. But two weeks, we'll find out if we can work out something in two weeks.

[C]

Also national news. The Secretary of State, State Marco Rubio confirming the release of an American journalist who'd been kidnapped in Iraq. Yes. Social media posts. Rubio said the journalist had been abducted by members of an Iraqi terrorist group in Baghdad. And the State Department is working to support her safe departure from there. Nearly a third of Americans admit that they avoid their neighbors.

[A]

Man, if you have a bad neighbor, I feel bad for you. You love your house.

[B]

Us.

[A]

You can't really. I don't know. Is there any way you can scope out who the neighbors are before you buy a house?

[C]

We did.

[A]

How.

[C]

We went and like kind of drove around a little bit. When we were doing the open house, some people were outside and we would go and talk to them.

[A]

You looked at the neighborhood. Okay, so did you meet the people directly next door?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

And did you get a good vibe on them?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Would you have not bought the house if they were?

[C]

It's hard to tell if someone is like that by first meeting them. Like, I feel like that's like a deeper rooted thing.

[A]

Right, Right.

[C]

Usually.

[A]

But obviously your house, you were, your, your heart was set on this house.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

What if they came across, like, not great?

[C]

It would have been a red flag, that's for sure.

[A]

But you would have still bought the house?

[C]

I don't know.

[D]

You really like the house?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And then just avoid them.

[A]

I mean, it's just, it's a, it's such a bonus is when you like the people that live around you.

[C]

You love the people that live around you.

[A]

I. I lucked out.

[C]

You really did.

[A]

I lucked out. I've been. I've been pretty good Everywhere. There's just, you know, a couple people. Something.

[C]

There's bad bugs everywhere.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

This new survey, though, claims only 30 of Americans even know their neighbors. 30 seems so low.

[A]

I live next door to the HOA.

[D]

Check.

[C]

You have to love that person.

[A]

No, you don't.

[C]

You have to love them hard. You have to take the sins that you love to their house.

[A]

And it was kind of older people in that neighborhood. And she came outside and the guys are like, Bringing the Kiss pinball machine off the truck and stuff. She's like, hey, what's going on here? And I just looked around. I'm like, man, hey, what's up? I'm your new neighbor. She's like, well, you know, tell me about your family. I'm like, it's just me.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

She's like, what? Oh, geez, it's just you?

[D]

I go, yeah, don't worry about it.

[A]

Just me. I'm like, so what? You know, how's the parties around here?

[C]

No, you did not.

[D]

She was like, non existed for you.

[A]

Of course I did. I said, you have houses like this. Like, you're. You're the people that are hosting parties, right? She's like, well, some. Not too wild.

[D]

She said, you're not invited to her

[A]

place before 11pm I invited her all the time.

[D]

Did she go once? Did she leave early once?

[A]

Very fast. Left early.

[D]

How long was she there?

[A]

Had half a margarita and got out of there. You're so scary.

[D]

Didn't even finish pouring it. She's like, ah, you know what? I'm gonna go.

[A]

I'm full.

[C]

I love my neighbors.

[A]

You just got it.

[C]

Let's talk about Kanye west real fast, cuz he's been banned from entering the uk and then because of that, London's Wireless festival, music festival had to be canceled. Last month they announced Kania was their headliner and it was sold out. Sponsors started dropping out. Pepsi, Anheuser Busch, and them dropping out. Those big names kind of seemed to bring a little more attention to the whole situation. I'd never heard of this festival until they started dropping out.

[A]

You keep. I'm putting you on the spot.

[C]

Try.

[A]

You keep saying it's a festival.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Were there other artists and actors?

[C]

I have legitimately looked to try and find out who they were, and I can't find anyone. But I've seen that Drake, Jay Z. People have headlined this music festival before.

[A]

Okay, was there ever a poster created. Right.

[C]

Find me that with.

[A]

With other artists with the big font and then all the other artists with the smaller font.

[C]

Like I tried yesterday. I couldn't find it because it would

[A]

be difficult for a band to also be on them on the lineup. Yeah.

[C]

Because then your name is.

[A]

You would have to answer questions.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

Why are you on this lineup? Whether it's fair or not, people are going to ask that. So you can't find.

[C]

I didn't find anything. Any other artist, old artists that have done this festival, but never any other artist.

[A]

They were hanging this hat, this festival hat on One artist did they sell

[C]

these tickets and sell out before people knew it was Kanye?

[A]

They pre sold tickets. The pre sale sold out for the festival.

[C]

So they were just hoping that it would be a Drake or a Jay

[D]

Z. Oh, yeah, maybe it had to be other artists.

[C]

Three times Kanye himself offered to go over there and meet with some Jewish leaders in the uk. He had a goal of love through music. He's not going to get to do that.

[A]

Oh, like you're ready to apologize for all those horrible things you've said.

[C]

Put out the whole page article in the newspaper and no one believes him.

[D]

But they were cool with Drake's stuff, apparently.

[C]

Got some stuff.

[D]

Kendrick Lamar sang about it.

[A]

Yeah, well, it's a different world.

[C]

Let's talk about the Strokes.

[A]

Okay. We're gonna play this song. Song. This song. At 8:20.

[C]

The full one. We can listen to it. Headphones up.

[A]

Yeah. Hi, I'm Jeremy. I get to do all the world premieres. Jeremy World premiered this yesterday at 11.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. Have you heard it yet?

[A]

No. I just got one email from your boyfriend, Alex O.

[D]

He liked it a lot.

[C]

He did. He's a fan.

[A]

He said it took him.

[D]

He might be the biggest Strokes fan.

[C]

Really?

[A]

And so here, this stroker, Red flag. He's a huge Strokes fan. And it said. He said it took him a couple listens before he said, oh, it's an absolute banger. You're a fan of the band and it takes three listens.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

That scares me. Because if you're not the biggest Strokes fan, is it going to take you 20 listens and you never come around on it? So I don't want to really listen to too much. I want to hear it at 8:20.

[C]

It's called going shopping. And we knew that yesterday because Alex. Alex told us the band set out, sent out cassette tapes to their real fans.

[A]

What cassettes?

[C]

Cassette tape 820 this morning. Hey, those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

All right, we're gonna listen to this. I gotta be honest with you. Just sound a little grateful, Daddy.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. It reminds me of a Coldplay song we premiered one time.

[A]

I'll get into that later. Oh, okay. 8:20. Would you join us for some new music, please? Yeah, and I'll take the calls. I'll take the calls. I'll deal with the emails. You guys will be the music directors of the buzz. Tell us what you think of it. What do you got in sports?

[D]

Astros lost to the Rockies last night five to one. It was their third straight loss. They're going to wrap up their series with the Rockies this afternoon. Christian Javier will be on the mountain for the Strobes, going up against Colorado's Michael lorenzen. First pitches at 210 and you can listen to the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. The Rockets got a win last night. They beat the Suns 119 to 105. They trailed by 21 points at one point in that game and then came storming back to win. Kevin Durant had 24 points in the night to lead the team in scoring. Rockets have now won seven straight. They're gonna have a day off today before they play the 76ers tomorrow night at the Toyota Center. That is what's going on in sports Houston's rockin alternative, the Rod Ryan Morning Show.

Yes.

[A]

Is that your snack hack?

[C]

Any more questions? Well, you also made fun of the time that I was bringing sweet potatoes in and shoving cheese in them and I was like, eating the sweet potato just like the whole thing.

[A]

Yeah, it was weird because I don't normally see cheese on sweet potatoes. Cheese on a baked potato is wonderful. Cheese on French fries, cheese on any other potato. And cheese is great.

[C]

So why not a sweet potato?

[A]

I just haven't seen cheese. That's the first time I think I saw cheese and a sweet potato.

[C]

I'm gonna bring you one.

[A]

I've seen sweet potatoes become sweeter.

[C]

Yeah. No, thank you. You know, I don't want the marshmallow stuff.

[A]

Yeah, like, so syrup?

[C]

No. Texas Roadhouse does that. I appreciate it, but it's not for me. Okay, but give me some other people's snack packs. I'll try them.

[A]

RC Cola and a Moon Pie. No, that seems to be very unique to you, Jacob. Coke and Peanut Dr. Pepper and a Snickers. That's just. You. Like, these are your favorite things.

[C]

Yeah, it's a list of your favorite things when you go inside a convenience store.

[A]

I love Pepsi and pretzels. Like, that's not a wild. That's not like out of the box, like, crazy thing to combine 9 volt

[D]

batteries and pop rocks and you're trying those.

[A]

It's electric. You know what I love? Packing peanuts and popcorn. Like, those two things together are wonderful.

[D]

Packing peanuts and circus peanuts.

[A]

You can't tell which is which. So chewy. These are what people are talking about when it comes to weird food combinations. You call them snack hacks. Whatever you.

[D]

You want.

[A]

Bacon and peanut butter. Those that go together. I, I love both things. I don't think those would be good together. I've had.

[C]

You had cotton candy, bacon.

[A]

I had chocolate covered bacon.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I had some candy. Cotton candy. I took the cotton candy off of it too much. Yeah, I had some kind of weird bacon thing. You took me to the rodeo this year. I had some crazy bacon thing. Watermelon and feta.

[C]

Oh, that's a salad. Does that go together with like mint?

[A]

I think chocolate and potato chips. That sounds delicious. I've had a chocolate covered potato chip. It's awesome. Chocolate covered pretzel. I know you're not chocolate. No, I mean a chocolate covered pretzel. Is there anything better?

[C]

Seems very normal.

[D]

Not my other things. They're better, but it's good.

[A]

It's not that crazy a combination. I could, I could sit there and eat probably two apples. Cut it up and just dip it in peanut butter.

[C]

Peanut butter, same. I like that.

[A]

Peanut butter and apple I think is the greatest combination.

[D]

Have you guys ever heard of this? This is like a hack that I kind of came up with. If you mix marshmallows and like that cereal, I think it's called Rice Krispies together. And you put it together like these squares.

[A]

Here we go. Here we go.

[D]

Delicious.

[A]

Dude, you're sweetening up a little bit.

[D]

But it's. It's an amazing. A little treat. So that's a little snack hack. I've been doing Rice Krispies and marshmallows.

[A]

You should go online with that and say you invented it.

[D]

I can do that.

[C]

You should.

[A]

Innovative, you guys. Omg.

[D]

You have to try it.

[A]

All right.

[D]

A new snack's entered the chat before

[A]

the guy emails me. Someone's going to email me. I'll leave it here. Bananas and mayonnaise. Somebody's gonna say their grandma gave it to him. So I'll get. I'll get three emails at their grandma. Maybe it's for.

[D]

They're in the Great Depression.

[A]

Where did that come from? What were you out of? Everything but bananas and mayonnaise.

[D]

That has to be this scenario.

[A]

Like, there was not.

[D]

There was a banana tree in the backyard, and the only thing in the. In the cabinet was mayo.

[A]

Somebody was left with a loaf of bread, a bundle of bananas.

[D]

You're raised by monkeys. That robbed a convenience and.

[A]

And a jar of mayonnaise. And they, like, that's all they had.

[D]

Tarzan was my own.

[A]

And they're like, you know what? I thought this was gonna suck. We're never buying anything else.

[C]

No, me either. Sounds gross.

[A]

It does sound. And I'm not somebody. I'm not grossed out by mayonnaise. I think mayonnaise.

[C]

I love mayonnaise.

[A]

Mayonnaise is dope. Yeah, that. That email will come in. People put grapes in their popcorn. Cheetos and milk is weird.

[D]

Cheetos and milk is really weird.

[A]

I don't think pickle juice adapts to anything, really. But pickles on the side. Pickles on a burger.

[C]

I like pickle everything.

[A]

Relish. I'm okay with relish, but the pickle juice is just. People think that adapts to other things.

[D]

I'm convinced that they just have too much pickle juice around, and they're like, we gotta. We gotta repurpose this for other stuff. So, like, tell people that they like this stuff. Soak some sunflower seeds in it.

[A]

It's hydrating the Jameson backup with the pickle juice.

[D]

They're just trying to get rid of pickle stuff.

[A]

That is such an awful combination.

[C]

I like it.

[A]

How drunk was the person that came up with that? They had the dare pickles in the

[D]

back of the bar, and they were like, no.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

This is a new thing. We can charge you for this.

[A]

It was a dare. It had to be.

[D]

Has to be.

[C]

Do you think they make fun of us every time we order it?

[D]

Absolutely.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I'll take a pickle back anytime.

[A]

It was hot for a while. Yeah. Is it. Does anybody still order that?

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

It's bad.

[C]

Yummy.

[A]

All right, this sounds like should be moved over.

[D]

Somebody's about to say they still.

[A]

This would be a good Facebook.

[D]

All right.

[A]

I'm going to put weird food combinations that you love. I'm going to put it up on the Facebook page, too. All right. On the. On the flip of this break. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I know. We all know. I invented salami and cream cheese. I get it. I mean, invented it on a Wednesday.

[C]

I ate that as a child.

[A]

How you really.

[C]

On my sandwiches at school. Yes.

[A]

Word got to Idaho, Indiana, wherever you're from, same thing that I made that sandwich. And then your.

[C]

Your mom sent it to me.

[A]

Your mom heard that I made that sandwich. Then she started making. Making it.

[D]

That Marilyn Manson's rib traveled that far.

[A]

Yeah. The rumors and Cats has picked it up. I'm gonna take a break. I'm gonna move the food discussion over to Facebook. Mo's gonna give you Motley Crue tickets. On the flip of this break, after Alex gets together, what's trending rock and alternative for Houston?

[C]

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

[A]

5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. On this wild card Wednesday, yesterday there was a world premiere on this radio station. Jeremy gets all the world premieres. That's not true. That's not good. That's not true. We get a lot of them. But Jeremy did world premiere the new song that we're about to play for you from the Strokes. And this will be our first spin. I want you guys to call in. So I'm gonna push those Motley Crue tickets back a little bit, if you don't mind, because I want to. I want to clear the phone lines for people to call and tell me what you think on this new Stroke song. I don't know if wizard knows what to do with it. I. The only time I heard it was. I didn't. I didn't get to hear Jeremy yesterday. I was busy when you were talking about it in Houston's headlines. I heard just the little clip playing underneath you. So I'll be hearing it for the first time, too. Hey, Alex. Hello. It just came across something I was looking at online and I just saw a bunch of pictures of Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. Did I think that relationship was going to be a lot bigger deal than it is.

[D]

Is like he's the Canadian president. We don't really care.

[A]

Well, I don't even think he's that anymore. I don't know what he is.

[D]

I don't know whose Candace president is. I do not care. Who cares?

[A]

It's just weird.

[D]

He's like, insignificant.

[A]

Remember we said they were dating and it was kind of a big deal? They were filmed on. And that was months ago.

[D]

And then I heard she's not dating him.

[A]

That's true. I haven't heard anything about it since that's it.

[C]

It is wild. But she is a headline like you

[D]

would when she's a famous act astronaut.

[C]

You would see her if she was out about doing things.

[A]

She was in the headlines a lot and she's just. She's avoided the headlines with this one.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

So I know this segment is smart. This segment is what's trending. I just told you what's not trending.

[D]

They are not trending.

[A]

They're still together. I just saw pictures of them. What is trending?

[D]

Wild card Wednesday's trending.

[A]

Now that's doing well for us.

[D]

Story Denali was submitted to us by our buddy Todd Hofler and people are checking her out at the world famous Rod Ryan show [e-mail] Good man, Todd.

[A]

Thank you.

[D]

Shout out Todd. Yeah. Fernando Mendoza is trending. The Indiana University quarterback and projected number one overall draft pick announced that he will be attending the NFL draft. So he's going to be showing up to be picked first.

[A]

Okay, that's cool.

[D]

He's going to sell a billion Las Vegas Raiders jerseys when he gets drafted and that the draft starts April 23. Then Delta Airlines is trending. They're raising bag fees as jet fuel prices rise and people are mad about it. And that's what they're talking about online. So that's what trending on 94. 5 the buzz.

[A]

We like to keep you up on this stuff. Delta, JetBlue and now United fees for checked bags have increased.

[D]

It seems like they're just mad about

[A]

Delta and because they're the latest. Okay, anybody think that those fees are gonna eventually go back down? When?

[C]

Zero chance.

[A]

It just doesn't happen. Happen. Right. Amazon has announced a temporary 3.5% fuel and logistics related surcharge for third party sellers to use their shipping and return services. There's a lot of this that's flying under the radar. United States Post Office. We talked about FedEx and other shippers. They've got automatic fuel surcharges already built into things. So that's just kind of something that's happening out there right now. I told you I was going to push the tickets back for Motley Crue because I wanted to talk about this new strokes. There was a feeling something was happening yesterday. They were showing up on every poster for every festival this summer. And then they said, yeah, we do have an album coming out this summer. And then it just seemed like everything was coming together. Like they gotta be doing something. Alex said they were sending out cassettes to people in their fan club. Yes, they did Announce. And they did world premiere a new song. This is it. It's called Going Shopping. I'm gonna play you some new music. I trust you. Radio wizard trusts you to not turn off the radio station. Okay.

[C]

Give it a chance.

[A]

Give it a chance. Listen to it. I. I know. I feel like I'm setting you up for something that I don't like. I don't know. I haven't heard it. All right. We will all talk about the Strokes going shopping after this. And I'll open up phone lines

[D]

and.

[A]

We still don't know when the album's coming out. They just said they got an album coming out this summer. All right. This is our world premiere of the strokes going shopping. 94. 5 the buzz.

[B]

Instead of was there you reach the point let yourself get more. The worst reality gets to lust. You want to hear about it? Solidarity can be difficult when you got crazy. I'm going away to the country don't wander off too far I'm going out my mind, man Throw all my plans out the window don't want to waste my life I see you on the other side. I've been thinking about what I want to say. What they tell me anyway We've been expanding on our greatness Building future. We're building castles from long distance Molded from the shattered eyes the de I moved away to the country I had to change my way But I. Stuck broke Flying out the window I can miss that sound don't want to wake up Sam. Back to the city I'm about to lose my mind I'm going stay alive I'm coming out through the window I miss shops and miles I'm going to meet you there. Out the window I'm going to. If you're better than me you don't have to judge me.

[A]

94. 5 the Buzz Brand new music from the Strokes. It's called Going Shopping. And we World premiered that one yesterday. Strokes got a new album coming out this summer. Good timing. Put out new music in the summer. Think about driving around the windows down. Are you kidding me? It's 100 degrees here. You're not driving around with the windows down. You're on the beach somewhere.

[D]

You got the.

[A]

The Strokes. Is that gonna be the soundtrack to the summer? I. I don't know. At some point, they're putting on a new album. They are touring. They're playing every festival. They've got the biggest font. Their name is the biggest on all the posters of all the festivals that they're playing on the day that they're Playing the Coachellas, the Bonnaroos, all of that stuff. Mo.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

First time you heard this song?

[C]

I did.

[A]

What'd you think of this song?

[C]

It was a summer song summary. It's poppy.

[A]

Poppy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

All things that I agree with you.

[C]

Yeah?

[A]

Yeah. Is it good?

[C]

Yeah, it's fine. I didn't get a lot of, like, meat out of the lyrics.

[A]

Fine.

[C]

Sounded like it was. They were just saying the same thing over and over and over.

[A]

It's like playing a song for your parents that you just, like, cut off. What'd you think, Dad?

[C]

I didn't hate it.

[A]

It's fine.

[C]

Puppy.

[A]

You're a Strokes fan, Alex.

[D]

I like the Strokes.

[A]

What'd you think of this?

[D]

Too much Auto tune was really the first thing I noticed. I do agree with you. On the beach or like, pool vibes, like, that'll play. It's not my favorite Strokes thing that they've put out there. It really reminded me of the Coldplay song Adventure of a Lifetime, where like, this is gonna crush. If you're shopping at Old Navy, like, okay, some bathing suits. This comes on, you're like, hell, yeah. You know what? I'm going to get two bathing suits.

[A]

We've been working together too long.

[C]

Why?

[A]

Because. And maybe it's because the song is called Going Shopping. I'm thinking that I'm in a store.

[C]

Maybe it's the Gap and there's family owned.

[A]

And there's a kid that hates his job. He's got an earpiece in. I need help. He doesn't want to help me. Yeah. And I need to know, like, where the fitting room is. And I need to know if they got my size. And I'm trying to get this kid's attention and he's just folding clothes and this is playing in the background.

[D]

Yes. And if I'm.

[A]

I was thinking if I was a

[D]

Rolling Stone writer, my headline would be like, Going Shopping by the Strokes is a song you'd want to try on, but maybe not by.

[C]

Wow. You found your retirement plan, Rock rider.

[A]

Now your guy, Alex.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Gravy ganger. He said the reason I was hesitant about the new song is because he sounds autotune. Plus, the last album from the Strokes was really, really good. So I had perfect expectations. But again, after hearing it three or four times, he likes it.

[D]

I can see how it'll grow on you the first time. It doesn't, like, blow you away or anything, though. After one lesson, I feel like the

[A]

song was on 60 seconds and Chili's chiming in here. This Sucks. He told me, turn it off. He didn't like it. Like, like did not like it at all.

[D]

Yeah,

[A]

I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna get on Team Mo. It's fine.

[D]

Six and a half out of ten, I'd give it.

[A]

It's not. It's right. Right middle of the road.

[D]

You're not upset about it, but, like, I'm not like, oh, my God, let's play this. I. I think it belongs on a couple. We should get a couple more spins of it.

[A]

But this sounds like every band warm up when you just. The guy starts noodling something new, and then the drop drummer puts a beat to it, and then the singer starts busking and just. You're making it up on the spot.

[D]

It does sound that way.

[A]

It sounded like it came out of a jam, but it's also sort of

[D]

like an art form to be able to make it sound like it's so just like.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

I don't know.

[D]

Impromptu.

[A]

It's not great. David, good morning. Good morning, Rod. Are you going shopping or not? Negative Ghost Rider. No shopping for you. Are you a Strokes fan in any way? Do you like their stuff? Their old stuff? Well, to state of Shiro's route, I really am not familiar with their music, but when I heard this Come on, it was the first thing it sounded like was a Grateful Dead song and just a 2026 version of the Grateful Dead. And I never was really a Grateful Dead fan. Me neither. Me neither. And I. And I.

[D]

Already successful.

[A]

Huge. Huge. But I said when you were talking over it in the Houston's headlines, I'm like, wow. Kind of sounds a little Grateful Daddy. Yeah. But it's jammy. It's jammed. It's a jam. It's just. It's an album track. Ryan. Good morning. Hey, good morning. What'd you think? New music from the Strokes called Going Shopping? I. I agree with Chili. It's not my stroke, man. It's definitely too much auto tune. I had to wait till the very end to get some rock and roll

[D]

out of it and just wasn't for me.

[A]

Thank you, Ryan. Rodrigo, good morning. Morning, brother Rod. Hey, dude. What you think of that new song from the Strokes? I personally thought it was super. Okay. Something reminiscent from like the mid 2000s MySpace era. Very much. Hello, Goodbye. Reminiscent to me. If I'm outside and I got a red solo cup in my hand and there's something on the grill and this is on in the background. No one's upset. Yeah, no one's upset. But no One's also complimenting your playlist.

[D]

Right.

[A]

There's just. They're just not upset. Frankie, good morning.

[C]

Hey.

[A]

Hi. Frankie, what'd you think of that Stroke song?

[C]

I don't know. I mean, it was catchy, but, like, I couldn't deal with Auto Tune. It sounded like some of the Trolls soundtrack.

[A]

What part was catchy?

[C]

Like, it's like. I mean, just like the beat, you know, it was. It had a happy, like, very summery vibe. Right, But Otterson was too much.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, catchy meaning tap your toe. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, then I'll agree with you on that for sure. Chris. Strokes. Hey, boy. Brother Rod, what do you got? Yeah, every. Yeah, the Auto Tune kind of threw me out of it. Had a good vibe, you know, I wouldn't necessarily download it. Kind of sounded like a song that, you know, you'd be listening to in a road trip movie with Zooey, Dash, and El sitting next to you in the passenger seat, you know? Yeah, but it. It wasn't that Muse song, so don't know where else that would live on the radio, but. And wouldn't turn it off, so. Wait a minute. Like. So this is. It's better than the Muse song we played. 100. Yeah. Okay, good.

[C]

Doesn't say much, Harrison.

[A]

Yeah, that sounds like. So, like, I think wizard probably had to throw that Muse song in the trash. I don't know what he did with

[C]

it, but it's in the trash.

[A]

Hey, this is better.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Put it in the. Like, the smaller trash table, like the.

[D]

The end table.

[A]

You might not touch.

[D]

Touch it again, but, like, I like knowing it's there.

[A]

Okay. Mid.

[D]

Mid.

[A]

You got some. Thank you for all the calls. I. I haven't even checked my emails yet. I'll send them all to the radio wizard, though. Do you have some tickets to give away?

I'm sending them over to the Radio Wizard. The Strokes sounds like the background of a cologuard commercial. That's that thing you poop in and you send it off in a box.

[B]

That's what that is.

[A]

You mail that off. Hey, like when you wrote a song and the first thing somebody thinks is, that would be good for a. A col guard commercial

[C]

The buzz.

[A]

Rock and alternative for Houston.

[C]

The Rod ryan Morning Show, 6 to

[A]

10am Some help from John for Shantae's mom and her gospel friends at the end there.

[C]

I love that story.

[A]

I love that story, too. I'm telling you, it breathes new life into that song. I think I sent you the clip. John, while they were recording that they just couldn't come up with a way to end. End the song. And he called his mom to come down to the studio, and that's his mom and her gospel friends singing. And John's teaching them the lyrics on the spot, and they do it.

[C]

They knock it out apart.

[A]

It's like, I can't hear the song any other way now. I'm like, this is John's mom singing with her church buddies. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for all of the Strokes Emails. It's a little rough out there. Not everybody hated. Landed with a few people and then there was a bunch of people like Alex, like, I don't mind it, but some people went out of their way to really kind of rip into it. Wizard got all your emails. I don't know what he's gonna do with that song. Good luck. Maybe put it in the Muse folder.

[C]

It's not that bad.

[A]

Can we get a world premiere that rocks, please? Come on. I think there is some new stuff coming soon. I don't know if I'm allowed to

[C]

say, oh, here we go.

[A]

Well, no, I happened yesterday. No, there is something that I did hear about.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It is a band, okay. That has a great female lead singer.

[C]

So it's not just a feeling.

[A]

And we should be getting something new from them.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

But I don't know anything else about it. Partly cloudy skies, 10% chance of rain. Highs of around 82 today. Great female voice. Mo with Houston's Headlines. One of the all time great female radio voices right there.

[C]

Sing hey all time. Thanks, Rod. The United States and Iran agreed to a two week ceasefire last night, just before Trump's deadline that would have triggered what he described as devastating strikes on Iran's power plants and bridges. So the deal came together. We had Pakistan's prime minister acting as some sort of in between. He asked Trump extend the deadline, invited both sides to some peace talks. On Friday, Iran's foreign minister confirmed. He said the country's armed forces would cease operations and then he opened up the Strait of Hormuz for a possible two weeks. The White House said negotiations will continue.

[A]

I like Alex every time like, like the Iran story is just, just slightly lighter. He'll sneak in the flock of seagulls if it's like, okay, if it's complete annihilation, he'll keep away from it.

[D]

Complete annihilation would have not made this.

[C]

Thanks for being ready. So always ready.

[A]

Hey, this sounds like it's a lighter

[D]

that I dropped a bomb on.

[A]

Can I put the seagulls in there?

[C]

If you're enjoying the milder, lower humidity weather we've been having this week.

[A]

Why do you do this?

[C]

Soak it in while you can, Rod. I'm looking ahead to the weekend. That's what people care about. The rain is coming on Friday.

[A]

What is your success rate on telling us about the weather?

[C]

I just read what the meteorologists say. It's really likely that the weather, the rainy weather is going to stick around through the weekend. So it's your warning right now. Keep an eye on it. If your plans this weekend involve being

[A]

outside, what's that new website, Alex, that lets you bet on anything?

[D]

Kalshee.

[A]

Kalshee.

[C]

You're gonna bet on my weather?

[A]

Yeah, we're gonna put you on there. Like, let's see how Mo's weather is doing.

[C]

I can't be bought.

[A]

Does it ever come through?

[C]

It'll be good. Doritos are now too expensive for Walmart shoppers.

[A]

This was wild this morning when you told me this.

[C]

Walmart is condensing their real estate, if you will, on the shelves because people are not buying Doritos. Doritos are running around $7 a bag. I literally just looked at my H E B. It was like 650, okay? People aren't buying them because there are cheaper options that taste decent. PepsiCo, who owns Frito Lay, they are feeling this. They know that people aren't buying them. So they reportedly missed revenue targets by several billion dollars over the past two years. They have promised as of February to slash prices up to 15%. But it might be too late. We know about your shrinkflation that y' all do to us. You can't fool us anymore. You can't keep making the bags smaller and thinking we don't notice.

[A]

It seems like Walmart has a problem with Doritos because you think, are they more expensive than Cheetos? Are they more expensive than.

[C]

They're on the same level, so.

[A]

But why are they singling out that

[C]

we're gonna Doritos and expensive chips are just too expensive. Other name brands are up to there

[A]

too, but these aren't even gourmet, you know.

[C]

Oh, like super bougie ones.

[A]

Yeah, it's Doritos.

[C]

There's Doritos should be like chips for the people. They shouldn't be $7 a bag.

[A]

They're the people. They're the people's nacho.

[C]

I'm kind of sad about it. Speaking of lots of money, apparently it costs $15 million to scrub any scandal from your movie. Michael Jackson. Rod hates this story.

[A]

I hate this story.

[C]

Apparently the biopic was done. That finished product included some of that bad stuff, horrible stuff that went down with MJ and scandals involving children, if you know what I'm saying.

[A]

Let me say film things and scenes.

[C]

It was all involved. It was all included in the movie.

[A]

Show me.

[C]

Right now they are saying, show me the director's cut. That one of the alleged victims had a clause in her settlement with Michael Jackson that said no movie could depict her or mention her. This came out. And they're like, we have to scrub it from the movie.

[A]

Do they show Macaulay Culkin sleeping over? Having sleepovers in their footy pajamas together? Now, I'm not saying he did anything with Macaulay, but I'm like, are they showing that? Huh?

[C]

It's not in the movie.

[A]

Him dancing around with Corey Feldman. Maybe they show all that, huh?

[C]

Janet Jackson, also not in this movie.

[A]

I wonder if she had some kind of a thing. I don't want to be a involved.

[C]

I'm very curious. There's a lot going on.

[A]

There's a family member that plays Michael.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Jackson in the movie, right?

[C]

Yep. And Paris keeps coming up because she doesn't want to be involved. And they keep bringing her into it. In the headlines. I don't know. It's out the 24th of this month. Last but not least, let's end on a good note. The Foo Fighters just announced some really cool ways for fans to get involved with this new album. They're going to be doing some in store list listening parties. No one does that anymore.

[A]

Do you ever do one, like, in your radio career?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

What'd you do?

[C]

Like. No. Justin Bieber. I did do a Justin Bieber 1.

[A]

Come to a record store.

[C]

And I remember it inside. It was a. I don't want to say Walmart. It might have been a Walmart. And we set up like the radio station was there. The van was parked in front. Justin Bieber walked in.

[A]

Oh, yeah. With the artists.

[C]

Yeah. Garth Brooks has done them before, too, with the artists.

[A]

And he sits and listens to his album with. With.

[C]

Yeah. And then signs stuff. He's probably there a couple hours and then leaves.

[A]

I don't think I ever did a. I'm trying to think if we ever did this. We used to do the albums going on sale at midnight.

[C]

Oh. And stand in line and wait and open early, I think.

[A]

I don't know if it was called Mushroom Records or just the Mushroom, but it was like, it's where you bought bongs and T shirts. Deadhead T shirts.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

And they sold Expensers cassettes. Well, but it was a. It was an independent.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

But it was New Orleans. Guy would roll in a keg. Like, just. No liquor license, just serving beer.

[C]

Let's go.

[D]

It was really good old days.

[A]

Yeah. Everybody's sitting around drinking beer, listening to the new album.

[D]

It was a simpler time.

[A]

I did that a handful of times. Sounds awesome, but I don't remember the artist ever showing up.

[B]

No.

[C]

No news. We don't know if the Foo Fighters are actually gonna be at these places. But the album officially releases April 24th. We're excited for them.

[A]

I think Dave's looking for some feel good things. He's gonna show up at one of these.

[C]

Let's go.

[A]

I think so. Well, they're not here.

[C]

None of them?

[A]

I don't think so.

[C]

Okay. It says record stores across the U.S. so maybe those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Take it, Alex.

[D]

The Astros lost the Rockies last night five to one. It was their third straight loss. They're going to wrap up their series of the Rockies this afternoon. Christian Javier will be on the mount for the Strobes. Going up as Colorado's Michael Lorenzen. First pitch is at 210 and you can listen to the game on our sister station sports talk 790 and basketball. Rockets got a win last night. They beat the Suns 119 to 105. They have now won seven in a row. They're gonna have a day off today before they play the 76ers tomorrow night at the Toyota Center. That is what's going on in sports.

[A]

All right, thank you, guys. We got one more hour together. We're gonna pack in some baby metal Hailstorm tickets. We're gonna pack in some Black Crows tickets for you. We got a lot of things to talk about, guys. Don't go anywhere.

[D]

That is what I say. Scratching his balls.

[A]

Scratching my bald head. My bald head. Scratching this Dorito thing. Doritos in 10 years have gone up about 50% in price.

[C]

That's aggressive.

[A]

Everything goes up, up in price.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Inflation's about 3%. This has gone up 50% in 10 years. You're talking about Walmart, probably the biggest distributor of Doritos. They seem to be singling them out. I can't seem to get to the bottom of our Doritos specifically. More expensive than everything else. And it seems to be these party size bags that they're getting people on, which we all know about. Sh. Shrinkflation and all that other thing. Yeah. Over the past decade they've just out way outpaced inflation. And then everything went crazy in the last couple years. But Doritos are like it's a rich man's snack.

[C]

Do you think it has anything to do with how good the knockoffs are? I'm not like a Dorito connoisseur.

[A]

Then you would bring the price down. You would think, you wouldn't go if some, if, if, if the stuff is great around you. You wouldn't increase your price.

[C]

No, but people would buy the cheaper one.

[A]

Yeah, you're right.

[C]

Right. I'm not buying a knockoff of if it sucks.

[A]

Here's what I noticed. I didn't notice the snack foods.

[C]

You're a chip guy though.

[A]

I am a chip guy. They got me by the short and curlies. They're gonna get me, okay. I'm gonna pay whatever they charge. I know for a fact before the pandemic I was getting a gallon of bleach for about 250. I'm telling you right now. I was getting a gallon of bleach.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

For about 250. It's eight bucks since the pandemic.

[C]

Really?

[A]

And you better check if that's a gallon. They came out with some new. Yeah, there's some weird new 3/4 of a gallon type of thing that's happening.

[B]

Getting.

[A]

It's eight bucks. I paid 250. I'm telling you, $3 for a gallon of bleach before the pandemic hit. They're not making the bleach like there's a shortage. That's the thing that creases me the most. And I still buy it. They Got me.

[C]

You buy the name brand?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You think it works better?

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

Me either.

[A]

Good news. Yes. I don't know. I got so many oil and gas people that. Listen, oil. Oil prices went down. All the stuff that you're talking about trending with Trump yesterday. Two weeks. Given Iran two weeks, get their act together. Oil below $100 a gallon or a barrel. Sorry. And then stock market's going crazy. The dow is up 1300. Nasdaq is up 600. So things are going. And yes, reflecting what the announcements yesterday. Doritos, same price. Doritos did not react to the news yesterday that we were. We were going to be a cease for two weeks. Doritos did not make a move at all yesterday. I've been waiting for an announcement from Pepsi.

[C]

Keep waiting.

[A]

Nothing from. Nothing from Doritos. Everyone else is moving around. Things are moving. Except for Doritos and bleach. They haven't budged. They know they got us. What are you giving away?

[D]

I don't know how I can top that.

[C]

You probably can't.

[D]

What, baby metal?

[A]

Yeah. You're gonna have to.

[D]

Well, I've done the hydraulic, like, press before for aol where it just crushes things.

[A]

You're gonna ruin my afternoon. Have you stuck.

[D]

Have you seen the human hydraulic press? That's the new trend that people are doing.

[C]

Can you put people in it where they.

[D]

Like your head or chin is the hydraulic press. So, like, you start with an egg and then it's a man lowering his head onto the egg and crushing the egg. And then it'll be maybe with a marshmallow or a tomato. Speaking of baby metal, a thing of yogurt.

[A]

Do you ever see the bread face girl?

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Is it like that?

[D]

Yes, but like it's the top of your head or your chin doing it, not just your full face. Oh.

[A]

Do you know what the bread face girl is?

[D]

You squished your face on bread.

[A]

She just squished her face in different, like, loaves of bread.

[D]

Like, that would be fun.

[A]

It was awesome.

[D]

Look at this mouth. He's just squishing it. He's squishing a tomato. And now this girl's. She's using her chin to crush a banana.

[C]

That's kind of satisfying.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

It's just funny because it's obviously not as powerful as a real hydraulic press, but like, she just crushed the hell out of a kiwi right there.

[C]

What would you do? What would you squish

[A]

Marshmallow. I don't know.

[D]

That's been done.

[C]

I'm thinking jello.

[A]

Meanwhile. Meanwhile in my head.

[C]

Sorry, I'm also precious.

[A]

I'm trying to pay attention.

[D]

But go check it out.

[A]

This is some baby metal.

[D]

I'm gonna check out today's Alex. Well, to a world famous Rod Ryan show [e-mail] thank you. Yeah, the Rod Ryan show on 94.

5. I pooped. What the buzz. All right, here we go. Metallica. Enter Sandman. They announced two non sphere shows the other day. We put that up on the music blog page. You would have to travel. It's not here, but I believe it's another one of those, like, no repeat situations. They're kind of locked into that right now. They do two nights, no repeats. They want you to go to both shows. You're getting different. You're getting a unique show each time. But they did announce something that was non Sphere. Either go back and check out the music music blog pages or Metallica on Instagram and they kind of explain everything that they're doing over there. Good morning. National Zoo Lovers Day. Shout out to the Houston Zoo. The second most visited zoo in America.

Shout out. We love y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

Yeah. Great people over there on three things you must see today.

[C]

Oh, geez.

[A]

Why are you capping on this?

[C]

Well, because yesterday you really.

[A]

It was the fourth thing on the page. It was a throwaway.

[C]

You really blew it out of the park with that Elvis hand puppet.

[A]

You chose to feature that.

[C]

That you didn't stop talking about it. You yelled at me because I wouldn't look at it.

[A]

It wasn't the headline. Now today, did you see the Artemis crew did a full house opening credit kind of video thing.

[C]

Cute.

[A]

Did you see it? No, it's good. But he's taken one of the. I think it's the commander Reed. Reed Wiseman. Sounds like an astronaut. So the crew of Artemis 2, they made a video and they're introducing all the astronauts shots. And they're using the theme from Full House where they're kind of turn around and they smile just like they did cheesy Everybody knows cheesy. Okay, so you just said cheesy. I didn't. You just said Jesus 100 Reed. Astronaut Reed said, We're doing scenes from bad 80s sitcoms where they introduce the cast of characters. So that's why we all did those. And we're cracking up in here. Is he calling Full House a bad sitcom? People are accusing him of saying Full House is bad.

[C]

I didn't. I didn't hear that when he said it. People are so quick to be angry.

[A]

Yeah, because you said cheesy. And immediately somebody that loves Uncle Jesse's going, what do you mean cheesy? That's my favorite show in the world. Like, people jump on every cheesy.

[C]

Looking back, they probably have some regrets, but we're all talking about it.

[A]

For the clothes, for sure.

[C]

Yeah, the clothes. And maybe the intro video, man.

[A]

The paper boy. I mean, if John Stamos gets a hold of us, I would not want to deal with Uncle Jesse calling cheesy. John Stamos does not want to be called cheesy for sure.

[C]

Mo said it.

[A]

If you haven't seen it yet, it's headlining. Three things you must see today. But if you missed yesterday. Enough about yesterday. Yesterday.

[C]

Elvis and puppet.

[A]

It was. It's three things you must see. And I'm like, here's a little bonus.

[C]

I just found it saying you thought people must must see.

[A]

It was a throwaway. It was a throwaway. And you choose to make fun of my extra work? We don't need your attitude. We have one of our own. The Rod ryan show on 94.

[C]

5 the buzz.

[B]

94.

[A]

5 the buzz. Blink 182 and I miss you. Rod Ryan show on this wild Card Wednesday. Thank you guys so much for hanging with us. I appreciate all the emails. Even a couple more are trickling in. We did the. Well, I guess it was a Rod Ryan show premiere. Wasn't a world premiere. Jeremy gets those. I'm not angry.

[C]

You get some too.

[A]

I do like to get the world premieres. Okay, a little bit upset. I like to announce the concerts. I like to get the world premieres. I can't dictate what these bands do. The Strokes wanted their song to come out at 11 o'. Clock, so it was out yesterday. World premiere. We played it today. And I'm still getting some emails trickling in. I'm sending those all over to the Radio Wizard. Not great. Not great as far as some people really liked it. Actually, one guy really liked it.

[C]

One guy?

[A]

Yeah. I already mentioned Alex O. He's the one guy that really liked it, super fan. The other people were like, that's okay. Most people, not for us. So I don't know what the future looks like for that. So on this radio station, one guy said, dude, if you play more baby metal on the show, big fan. That's not. I don't think you're gonna find a radio station playing baby metal. Not in the morning, anyways. That's.

[C]

It's a lot.

[A]

It was a lot, right?

[C]

What were they saying? Do you sing along?

[A]

Where is he?

[C]

The guy that won tickets, Kurt was. Said he was a huge fan.

[A]

Oh, yeah. But this is crazy. Christopher who listens, he's like, if the Buzz would play more of that, I would listen to more than just your show in the morning. That was not too much for a Wednesday morning. Like, he was loving the baby metal.

[C]

Okay. I don't go ahead and send that off to the Wiz.

[A]

Yeah. Wizard will know because he knows what every radio station's doing. Is there anybody that's playing Babymetal in regular rotation? There might be some crazy fringe rock station in Idaho where you're from.

[C]

You think big Idaho. Baby metal fan, Idaho.

[A]

I don't know. Peoria, Illinois, something. Somebody's playing baby metal. There's one station. What are you giving away on? Mow the show.

What is it, Rod? What snack hack from, like, the 1920s has found some weird resurgence among the kids on the social media?

[A]

People are thinking, you should have known the lyrics from the song.

You should have.

[C]
