Tone & Style

The Rod Ryan Show’s tone is fun, fast-moving, cheeky, sometimes snarky, but maintains a strong community feel. Hosts riff on each other, break into laughter, and aren’t afraid to get personal or goofy—especially when interacting with listeners. They’re irreverent but warm, whether they’re talking about holiday traditions (“The Catholic church just likes to torture you...”), pop culture oddities, or someone’s childhood bunny cake brought in by a show parent.

---

Conclusion

This episode encapsulates what Houston loves about The Rod Ryan Show: energetic music, real listener voices, jokes about religion, tradition, and family, topical news with a humorous edge, and a true local spirit. Easter and Free Beer Friday are the throughlines, but the show is really about connecting the city—through laughter, stories, and sometimes, a little bit of chaos.

---

Listen for:

• Unexpected game show upsets
• Real opinions about travel and holiday quirks
• Heartfelt and silly calls from Houstonians
• The bunny cake saga
• Celebrating and gently roasting Houston’s traditions and characters

And then Easter Sunday, it's going to cool off. 20 chance of rain, high of 70. Good morning, Mo.

[Rod Ryan]

Morning.

[Mo]

What you Got for Houston's headlines. Hey, Prince.

[Rod Ryan]

President Trump announced yesterday that he is replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney General, saying she would be moving to a role in the private sector. The deputy attorney general is going to replace her. And that guy previously served as Trump's personal defense attorney in his criminal case. Later in the day, we heard the news that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had asked Army Chief of Staff Randy George to step down from his post. So usually that's I think a four year term, but they asked him to retire from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the army, effective immediately. All right, let's talk about this rain. Rod, go ahead. Today seems like it's going to be decent. Maybe a little bit soggy. Some people had some rain yesterday. Possible spotted isolated showers. Tomorrow though I think you have your numbers off a little bit. Rain chances are looking at 90%.

[Mo]

Stop where 90? Not for us.

[Rod Ryan]

Like strong storms possible. This is likely to occur in the Houston area sometime between 4 and 8pm I talked to Alita this morning.

[Mo]

Talk to Alita Lareska. You know her? Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

You want to, you want to talk to her?

[Mo]

Well, yeah, I want to meet her.

[Rod Ryan]

Rain is going to continue off and on through the night, Saturday night. So some showers will linger into your Easter Sunday, but a cooldown is coming and that's what's bringing the rain. Meaning Easter Sundays high will only top out in the mid-70s. So a little bit cooler. Blessed Good Friday. I googled it.

[Mo]

But you don't say, you don't say Happy Good Friday.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes, Blessed Good Friday.

[Mo]

Kind of a miserable day.

[Rod Ryan]

And that means Sunday is Easter. Have you downloaded your Easter Bunny tracker?

[Mo]

I didn't know this was a thing.

[Rod Ryan]

Neither did I. This is the first I heard of it this morning.

[Mo]

You've done the Santa Tracker before and

[Rod Ryan]

Santa can call from the Santa tracker these days. So I know that you know, technology is updating, but you can use this website or app to follow the Easter Bunny on his magical journey as he delivers treats around the world. It goes live tomorrow. So the day before Easter it even will estimate his arrival time. So you better be.

[Mo]

I had no idea there was an Easter Bunny tracker.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not by the same people, the NORAD people.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, different tracking device on the Easter Bunny. We've got the link up on our blog page at the world famous ride show page of the bus.com after he flipped his car, Tucker woods called President

[Mo]

Trump all kinds of videos that came out yesterday. So that's what this is, right? All the there's some security footage, there's

[Rod Ryan]

some police body cam, and that is what we, we saw. It shows him failing field sobriety tests, then stepping away to get on his phone. When he comes back, he told officers, I was just talking to the President,

[Alex]

thought it was going to be a huge flex.

[Mo]

A huge flex.

[Alex]

I mean, it was. But like, not to the cops.

[Mo]

No, the cops didn't.

[Alex]

You know we said to arrest you, right? You broke the law.

[Mo]

I was just on the phone with the president.

[Rod Ryan]

Does that change anything people usually say when they're getting pulled over, flipping their car? Yeah.

[Mo]

Having the president on speed dials. Badass.

[Rod Ryan]

He definitely hiccuped multiple times, which is a little unsettling to me during his test. And then police pulled the two pills from his pockets before coughing him and putting him in the back of the squad car. He's leaving the country for treatment.

[Mo]

Yeah, he really did look messed up.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes, he did.

[Mo]

Well, it was just the back of

[Alex]

the backseat video is the worst.

[Mo]

Yes. Him sitting in the squad car.

[Alex]

They gave him a blanket or a towel and that was on his head at one point. He's screaming, it looks like. And yeah, a lot of memes are going to come out of that.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Turnstile.

[Mo]

Yeah, this is them right here. You're listening to it.

[Rod Ryan]

They're. Former guitarist Brady Ebert has some stuff going on in his life.

[Mo]

Yeah, he does.

[Rod Ryan]

He's been arrested on charges of second degree attempted murder and first degree assault in Maryland. According to the most updated report I can find. He's accused of trying to run over the father of the band's singer with his car. So, Brennan Yates, rock and roll. This guy's 33 years old, being held without bond. He's the co founding member of this band, but they kicked him out. And then he was also kicked out of his new band because he was publicly trashing his former bandmates on social media.

[Mo]

He's a troubled individual.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Go ahead, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros will be on the road tonight. They're going to open up a weekend series with the Athletics. Christian Javier will be on the mound for the Strobes. He's going up against the A's. Jeffrey springs first pitches at 8:40. And you can listen to the game on our sister station, News Radio 740, KTRH. A lot of basketball going on this weekend in the NBA.

Are you mixing? Are those two worlds coming together? A crawfish boil and tacos.

[Alex]

Yes, they are.

Okay. Thank you for being up so early with us. All right. Thank you, sir. Y' all have a great weekend. Thank you, Brandon. Thank you. All right, hang on. For me. So you don't say Happy Good Friday.

Not everybody is celebrating Good Friday. Happy Free Beer Friday. It'll be a happy open phones Friday in the 9 o' clock hour. Can't wait. Can't wait. We just played Smashing Pumpkins. Billy Corgan is in the podcast world now. He's getting into Alex's space over there. Getting in his space. He had Melissa ofdemar from the band whole a couple of weeks ago. She also did some time in the Smashing Pumpkins, but the one that everyone's talking about is Yesterday he uploaded and he's already got. I looked at like, where he was as far as like, how many people are watching his podcast. I'm just going by YouTube numbers. Yesterday he uploaded his interview with Courtney Love and people are still interested in what Courtney Love has to say. Yeah, she's. She's got a story to tell, you

[Rod Ryan]

know, how did she come across?

[Mo]

So he usually does. I mean, Melissa the bass player got 178, 000 views three weeks ago. Courtney's got 150, 000 views since yesterday.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

It looks like his biggest one. Just as I'm scrolling. Gavin Rossdale from Bush. Keep in mind these are YouTube videos and Gavin's very handsome. 238, 000. So Courtney might be like his biggest one. And it's. I've watched it. The pacing is different. He allows a lot of space. You know, it's different than a radio interview. It's different. It's not fast paced. But, you know, Billy wants to. Wants you to know that it's important for Billy to make you think that he's intelligent. He wants that.

[Alex]

Oh, he is like big words a bunch.

[Mo]

He is intelligent, he is smart. But it's important to him. He walks in with the source and he wants to. He wants you to know how important his music is and how important it's Kurt Cobain and him. He said that. It's like it's Kurt Cobain and him and then it's everybody else. He says those things. So it. He's worked. He's written songs for Courtney Love. They were rumored to be together. I don't know, but I haven't watched it yet. But that just went up yesterday. And Courtney's saying some outrageous things.

[Alex]

Oh, no.

[Mo]

About being trafficked. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Trafficked. Yeah, yeah, trafficked. Back in the day. Yeah. She was tripping over in Tokyo and stuff and she said it wasn't bad. It was kind of fun.

[Rod Ryan]

Is that traffic? I don't know if.

[Mo]

Well, yeah, is that. I'm telling you, she says some wild things in there for sure. All right, guys, we got other things we got to talk about today on the show. Other John, he got some sleep last night, I hope, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Hopefully. He sounded like he's off today. He's doing us a favor.

[Mo]

Yeah, he sounded surprised that we were working today. You're right. He's a two time hall of famer. We're gonna have to change that. If he wins, he'll be a three time hall of famer if he gets the job. Done today and then. I don't know. I'm not asking questions. I'm just telling you that Weezer tickets go on sale today at 10, and Chili thought homeroom deserved those, so you're getting those on the fun fact flashback. Let me take a short break. Beer. Beer every hour. And then there's a bunny cake in here, which I will talk about that. There's a bunny cake in here. A bunny cake. Some bunny brought in a cake.

[Rod Ryan]

Freaking out inside.

[Mo]

And I'm just wondering what time do we get to cut into that quick break. When we come back at a rec check, we'll find out what's trending and then we'll get set up for the game. Houston's rock. Houston's alternative and home of the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[Rod Ryan]

94.

[Mo]

5. 945 the Buzz. Welcome back, Rod Ryan Show. 6:20 on this free beer Friday. One case of beer already down. We'll do that again at 7, 8 and 9. Mo and I are fighting about the weather. We've been fighting about the weather all week. Promising all this rain and it's a new weather guy.

[Alex]

You guys should just trust me.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, you're right.

[Mo]

Alex does print out the weather for me every day.

[Alex]

So I go to a website and look at it. Meteorologist.

[Rod Ryan]

I know. Who are they?

[Mo]

I'm gonna start phrasing it. Alex told me 10 today, mostly cloudy.

[Rod Ryan]

And then the guy that just did the weather, like we just heard it in our headphones, he said 50 chance today.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

So, like, who's in charge?

[Mo]

He's using the same website Alex is. Because 50 chance tomorrow. We've got.

[Rod Ryan]

Look at Alita. Right?

[Mo]

What is she saying? Tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

80 chance of thunderstorms tomorrow. Look, right there.

[Mo]

Stop.

[Rod Ryan]

I know she's not.

[Mo]

Trust her. I don't know what's going on.

[Alex]

All right.

[Mo]

The weather's going to weather. The weather is going to weather all weekend. Alex trending.

[Alex]

Todd Blanche is trending.

[Mo]

Todd Blanchet.

[Alex]

Maybe. I'm not sure the pronunciation. He will serve as the interim head of the Justice Department after Trump dismissed Attorney General Pam Bondi yesterday. Talking politics then. Kirk Cousins is trending. He agreed to a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders yesterday. It's essentially a one year, $20 million guaranteed deal. But it's $20 million guaranteed, and he has now made over $300 million in his NFL career. Pretty awesome for Kirk Cousins. They're going to be drafting a quarterback first overall, so he'll just be kind of the mentor for the first season. Him and Fernando Mendoza, who's going to be the number one overall pick could start a megachurch in Las Vegas. Blake Lively is trending. A judge dismissed a of her charges against former co star Justin Baldoni yesterday in their ongoing court case. So I'm sure she's not very happy.

[Mo]

This take this out to the barn and shoot it. I'm done with this story. I don't want to hear it.

[Rod Ryan]

To back away slowly.

[Mo]

I don't want to hear any of

[Alex]

this because it is trending still. And that's what's trending on 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning everybody. This is two time hall of famer other guy.

[Mo]

Yes.

[Alex]

And I do love playing this game.

[Mo]

I am your fresh out of bed,

[Alex]

head to head four day champion. Join me on Friday when I hope to make it win number five and

[Mo]

get back in the hall of Fame. 713-212-5945. You're not gonna stop this guy, are you? Are you calling to stop other John? Who would want to do that? 713-212-5945. He's got to play somebody. Hey kids, look. It's the Easter bunny. Actually, kids, it's the non denominational spring bunny. Spring bunny, yay. What is Easter bunny offensive to non Catholics? Spring bunny doesn't know. When did this start? Why don't we stop busting spring bunny's ball? This is the Rod Ryan show.

[Rod Ryan]

True that peeps on 94.

[Mo]

5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning. Rod Ryan show, Lincoln Park, New divide.

[Alex]

What up?

[Mo]

Good morning everybody. Appreciate you being in homeroom today on this free beer Friday. Weezer tickets coming up. You got a little bit of time. Give me, give me 15 minutes, we'll get to those Weezer tickets. They go on sale today at 10 though. Yeah. Big Easter weekend. Real quick, because of one of the discussions we had yesterday on the show, Melissa sends me an email. She's like, rod, I'm so glad you talked about how long it takes to fall asleep in bed. I've been in bed since 10:30. It is now 1:30am her email is timestamp 1:38. She sent this to me this morning. She goes, it is now 1:30 and I still haven't fallen asleep. It's not always like this, but when it is, it sucks. I would get up like you said and go do stuff, but I don't want to make noise and I don't want to make wake everybody up. She goes, I may not be in homeroom today. It's because we talked about it. Yeah, it's like, oh, yeah. Rob was talking about, I'm going to time myself how long it takes me to fall asleep. And then tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

[Rod Ryan]

You did that three hours.

[Mo]

I'm sorry, Melissa. Now it's time for the fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. Listeners, to your corners. All right, Other John, good morning.

[Alex]

Morning, everybody.

[Mo]

How are you guys? Great. Are we ready for. Are you ready for a new title? I am ready to play this morning. We'll see what happens.

[Rod Ryan]

There you go.

[Mo]

This two time hall of fame, other John. That's been going on long enough, dude. Three time hall of fame of famer, Other John's got a nice ring to it. Josh says that he thinks he can beat you, though. Hi, Josh. Hey, Good morning. Good morning. Why do you sound like other John? Sounds like I got two of the same guy on Josh. Are you sure you're Josh? Yes, yes, it is Josh, Josh and John.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Not confusing.

[Mo]

I think John's calling on the other line, throwing his voice. Josh, you played in April of last year. Yes, sir. How'd you do? I was a one pump jump. So you did win. He had the sweet taste of victory. Well, yeah. Let's try that again. What are they playing for?

[Rod Ryan]

We have Breaking Benjamin tickets on the line, gentlemen. They're gonna be The Woodlands Pavilion, October 10th. Who's gonna go home with.

[Mo]

Maybe Chili loves homeroom more than me.

[Alex]

Maybe.

[Mo]

It seems today. It seems like it.

[Alex]

Maybe.

[Mo]

Shout out your name when you think you know the answer. Josh. John. John. Josh, right quick.

[Rod Ryan]

I got this.

[Mo]

Get your ears on. Here we go. Question number one. Shout out your name. Josh, are you ready? Yes, I believe so. So slow on the response. Here we go. Question number one. Which director made Jurassic Park, Jaws and E.T. what'd you got, guys?

[Alex]

I thought I heard John.

[Mo]

What do you have Mo? Why you?

[Rod Ryan]

Because I'm not comfortable saying I don't have any idea.

[Mo]

What if you don't have any idea?

[Rod Ryan]

There was definitely one before another, but they were so. It's the same word that they're saying.

[Alex]

I think John got in first. I heard Josh.

[Mo]

Louder, though. Okay, John.

[Alex]

Steven Spielberg.

[Mo]

Steven Spielberg is the correct answer. Other John's on the board. Okay. Do you guys realize he's so hard?

[Rod Ryan]

It was like jaw.

[Mo]

Remember the part about me saying pay attention.

[Rod Ryan]

I was focused?

[Mo]

Doesn't sound like it.

[Alex]

We were focused on trying to decipher the name.

[Mo]

So close. They were so. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Can you say something? Make him say something else.

[Mo]

Josh and John, Mickey Mouse and Donald Depp. Come on, Josh, you were right there. This is horrible. May have been first. I don't know. Here we go. Okay, question number two. Josh and John. What do you get if you divide the number 30 in two? John.

[Alex]

That was Josh, Josh, Josh.

[Mo]

Fifteen. The correct answer. Oh, you better hope he didn't get through first on that first one. Josh is on the board. Josh and John, John and John.

[Rod Ryan]

I hate today.

[Mo]

The only day that wasn't Monday E was Monday. Every other game with John. Oh, no, here we go. Other John and Josh. What is the name of the moving stairs in the mall? John, Josh, Josh. Escalator. It's correct answer. What?

[Alex]

Good game, John.

[Mo]

Good game.

[Rod Ryan]

I have goosebumps on my.

[Mo]

He may have gotten in on all three. We don't know, but it's undisputed. He definitely got in on those other two. What is the name of the moving stairs in the mall that take you from one floor to the next escalator is correct, Other John.

[Rod Ryan]

It was fun.

[Mo]

It was fun. Yeah.

[Alex]

Thank you, everybody.

[Mo]

Stop the press. Dude, we were making new business cards for you and everything. The two. Now we're just gonna. Oh, God. I think they already printed them, too.

[Alex]

Damn it.

[Mo]

All right, we're gonna hold on to those. Get back on. All right? You're not getting the business cards yet. You're still a two time hall of Famer. All right, Other John, you know we love you. Josh. Yes, sir. I thought I heard you first on the first one. Why didn't you say something? Don't say too much. No, it wasn't enough for me to overturn it. It wasn't enough. It's just I. I was talking. I'm Jurassic Park. Jaws ET I'm talking. I can't listen for Josh, but he got the other two. Oh, man. It's a big upset, Josh. It's a huge upset. You want to play on Monday?

[Alex]

Yes, sir.

[Mo]

Okay. And breaking Benjamin Chevelle tickets. That's a hell of a way to start with us. What a game today, dude. I need a victory speech out of you. Don't go anywhere. My name is Rod and I like to party. It's free beer Friday on the Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. It's Offspring. The kids aren't. All right, what about that game? What about that game? Fresh out of bed, head to head. Other John. One win away. Two questions away from going back into the hall of Fame. He's a two time hall of Famer. You got a guy Like Adam, who said, man, I really thought John was just walking into that hall. Josh came out quick. He says he thought Josh got the first one, but his name was cracking worse than mine when I played.

[Rod Ryan]

It was so hard.

[Mo]

He got the other two though, for sure. What's the easiest way to go back? Can you rewind? On YouTube?

[Alex]

You probably can, yeah.

[Mo]

So if you go to our YouTube channel, you can go back and listen. Okay. I didn't hear enough to overturn. Alex is really good at it. He's really good at it, and it was tough. I looked over at Alex, he said, I, John got in first on the question. And I look at Mo and she's got both hands over her face. Like if, like, like, if I don't. Like, like, like not to call on her.

[Rod Ryan]

She's just like, if Rod doesn't see me, he won't call on me.

[Mo]

I look over at moment, I see this. Oh, my God. Don't look at me. Don't call on me, please.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm like, I'm terrified.

[Mo]

You're sitting right in front of me. I'm gonna call on you.

[Rod Ryan]

Scary.

[Mo]

I had no idea he got the other two. The fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. Here's your current champion.

[Alex]

Good morning, everybody.

[Mo]

This is Josh and I'm the guy that just shocked the world, taking out

[Alex]

two time hall of famer, other John, keeping him out of the hall. I am your fresh out of bed, head to head one day champion. And I'll be on Monday to make it win number two.

[Mo]

Are those guys related?

[Rod Ryan]

They have the same demeanor and the same name.

[Mo]

And even, like, when he answers me, it's slow, but. But boy, he was quick during the game. Like, crazy quick during the game.

[Rod Ryan]

Really fun.

[Mo]

And he said he's excited. Another guy that sounds like he doesn't want to be here, he said he's excited about being on with us on Monday.

[Alex]

All right.

[Mo]

Wow. I'm awake now. It's the fun fact of the day. We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Star Wars. R2D2.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

He's like the droid, right? He was like, you know, you know, you know the garbage can you do. You know R2D2.

[Rod Ryan]

I know which one that is.

[Mo]

Yeah, there's C3PO and R2D2. They were the pals.

[Rod Ryan]

I know the one that.

[Mo]

Okay, all right. R2D2. Where did that name come from? There was a sound editor during Post production. They were working on it. They still don't have a name. Well, post production, that seems weird, but he's working on. Oh, that's it. He's working post production on George Lucas's movie American Graffiti. And the. The. The sound editor asked for real 2 dialogue track 2. It was labeled R2D2. So this is before Star Wars.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Lucas was in the room, he's working on the script for Star wars at the time, and he heard the request for R2D2. He asked what it meant, and he said that might be a pretty good name to use for what I'm working on now. Real two dialogue track two, that's genius. Yeah. And he's working on one great movie and writing another one. George Lucas, am I right? The animals responsible for the most deaths in the United States. Farm animals.

[Alex]

That is fun.

[Mo]

Even more than the insect. Like in number two is like insects like hornets, hornets, wasps and bees. Yeah, dogs are three on that list. But yeah, farm animals number one.

[Rod Ryan]

I've heard about pigs.

[Mo]

What do the pigs do?

[Rod Ryan]

They'll eat a human.

[Alex]

Yeah, they eat the bones and all.

[Mo]

Wasn't that a part of like one

[Alex]

of those

[Mo]

Hannibal Lecter movie if you

[Rod Ryan]

wanna hide a dead body snatch.

[Mo]

It was in the movie Snatch.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I thought you were just saying snatch.

[Alex]

No.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Happy Friday.

So, I'm looking for some cartoon characters. They speak a fictional language, but they are redubbed for each language the films are released in. Who are we talking about? The Minions. Minions. What a win.

Five, the buzz. All right, here we go. That's one of my favorites from Nirvana. Come as you are. Rod Ryan show, free beer Friday. Thank you, Specs for the beers. We'll have another case for you straight up at 7 o'. Clock. Motionless and white tickets coming your way at 7:20. Should I just not talk about the weather? We don't know what's happening tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

I keep watching.

[Mo]

There are, there's this wild variance like today, nobody's arguing about a 10% chance of rain, mostly cloudy, high of 85 tomorrow. I've seen everything and I'll back my snow from 50 to 80% chance of rain. Thunderstorms tomorrow, high of about 80. It is going to eventually start to cool off. And everybody agrees that the high on Sunday with 20 chances of rain, cloudy skies, the high on Easter Sunday will be about 70. So your Easter egg hunt, you might need some long sleeves, right?

[Rod Ryan]

Chill at 70 degrees.

[Mo]

70. I know we're complaining. My sister's got snow in the home office. There's mo right there. What you got for Houston's headlines?

[Rod Ryan]

Morning, Rod. So President Trump announced yesterday that he is replacing Pam Bondi as attorney general, saying she will be moving to a role in the private sector. The deputy attorney general, who previously served as Trump's personal defense attorney in his criminal case, is going to step in as acting attorney general. Then later in the day, we heard the news that, that Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, had asked the army chief of staff, Randy George, to step down from his post. Usually that post is held for four years. It's appointed and it was appointed by President Biden. Well, the Pentagon said George will be, quote, retiring from his position effective immediately, unquote. Today's the last day to get your Rock and Roll hall of Fame votes in if you want to be part of the fan vote.

[Mo]

Oh, really? I, yeah, we haven't talked much about it.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. So they have over 8 million votes as of right now. New EDITION is leading in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame fan vote.

[Mo]

All right. Which. Right. It doesn't account for like a percentage

[Alex]

of one vote, like a tenth of a vote.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, you can vote every day. So did they just like rally the troops? Phil Collins is in second.

[Mo]

Okay, that makes sense. He's already in with Genesis. So.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

He would go in as a solo

[Rod Ryan]

artist, a pink in third place right now.

[Mo]

Come on.

[Rod Ryan]

Is that everything?

[Mo]

Oh, you said pink.

[Rod Ryan]

Pink's in third. You still have time to vote. It's very easy. Looks Like Mariah Carey. Pretty low on that list. Yeah.

[Mo]

Rock and Roll hall of Fame. That's the name of it.

[Rod Ryan]

Here we go. Hey, if you happen upon some Easter candy this weekend, let me help you elevate your experience. We got a list of the best wines to pair with your Easter candy.

[Mo]

Oh, from the people that bring us the pair. The best wines with your Halloween candy

[Rod Ryan]

or Girl Scout cookies.

[Mo]

They're back.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. I don't really drink a lot of wine. What about you?

[Mo]

Now? And I'm not a big wine drinker. I just. I don't know. It's not my first choice.

[Rod Ryan]

Peeps and Chardonnay seems to make sense to me.

[Mo]

Peeps and anything is ass.

[Rod Ryan]

Chocolate bunnies. Cabernet Sauvignon.

[Mo]

Well, I mean, doesn't chocolate go with red wine?

[Rod Ryan]

Right.

[Mo]

In general.

[Rod Ryan]

Reese's Eggs and Merlot. I mean, if you want the full list, we're gonna post it. Get after it, y'.

[Mo]

All.

[Rod Ryan]

Get after it. Alex, I saw some further clarity on the whole Lindsay Buckingham attack we talked about yesterday. The incident actually happened back on March 25, and the investigation is in progress, but apparently he's arriving to an appointment. A woman threw an unknown substance at him. We all heard that story. Well, turns out Mr. Buckingham had filed a restraining order against the same woman back in 2025. She claims that she is his daughter, and she's doing some interviews to local news stations. Just saying, you know, she visited with her dad.

[Mo]

Had.

[Rod Ryan]

Last week, just wants to chat with him. She has been involving herself in his family's life for years now, trying to contact his actual kids, his wife. It's become quite an issue, but she's walking the streets right now.

[Mo]

That's on the music blog page as well as you're gonna go with Courtney Love.

[Rod Ryan]

Rod, you were talking earlier about the whole Courtney Love thing, and so I have had to kind of read through some transcripts.

[Mo]

So just so to be clear, she is doing a podcast where a lot of these crazy things are coming out?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

Yesterday it was uploaded. She's on Billy Corgan's podcast.

[Rod Ryan]

Billy Corgan's podcast. The headlines that came out, Billy, I

[Mo]

think Billie may have written this song. They've written songs together. They absolutely got a pass.

[Rod Ryan]

She felt comfortable talking about these stories.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

The headlines that are coming out of it are around her being trafficked as a teen, sent to Japan to be an adult dancer. And the. The word she used is delightful when describing the whole thing. She said her passport was taken from her after about Five months she went to the Japanese embassy and they put her on a first class flight back to Portland, Oregon where she lived.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

But they in Japan. She was being jumped around as a teenager to be a dancer. She's like, it was great. It sounds like it should be horrible, but it was actually good stuff. She describes a lot of how the whole process worked. Being moved to different theaters outside Tokyo. She said it was a blast.

[Mo]

Now we're playing Foreigner. The song's called Urgent.

[Rod Ryan]

Can I tell you why?

[Mo]

Go ahead.

[Rod Ryan]

That was her song that she danced to.

[Mo]

This is what Courtney stripped to.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. She admitted that.

[Mo]

There's that sad sax. Alex loves the sax in a rock song.

[Rod Ryan]

Courtney love dancing to the sax.

[Alex]

Probably not as much.

[Rod Ryan]

Glad I could read through all of that and break it down for you, Rod. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Here we go, Alex.

[Alex]

The Astros will be on the road tonight. They're gonna open up a week in series with the Athletics. Christian Javier being the mountain for the show is going up against the A's. Jeffrey Springs first pitches at 8:40. You can listen to it on our sister station news radio740 KTRH in the NBA. The Rockets are back in action. Tonight they'll host the Jazz at the Toyota Center.

[Mo]

The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am The Buzz. Free Bear Friday. You got the free bear Friday. You got the free bear Friday. You got the free bear Friday. Free Bear Friday, you got free bear Friday.

[Alex]

And rye, you got the free bear Friday.

[Mo]

You got the free bear Friday. Up. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Who we got here on the phone? Eric. Hi Eric, how are you? Good. Your caller 10. Nice. We're gonna get you a case of beer. You're the. You're the second winner today. Where are you from, Eric? Pasadena. All right, dude, what you got going on this weekend? I'm nosy. I don't mind. I might be a little no housing. Probably just. Just Just hang out with the family. Yeah, hang out with the family. Okay. Special for Easter or just a regular family weekend? Just chilling. Yeah, just regular. Just chilling. Barbecue. All right, dude.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. Barbecue.

[Mo]

All right. My man Eric's got a case of beer. Dude. Have an awesome weekend with the fam. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. I'm this close to saying what I'm not supposed to say. It's Good Friday. Blessed Good Friday for those of you that are celebrating Good Friday.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Now I'm gonna probably get dinged for that. You don't celebrate Good Friday. Just chill. Shut up. Just eat your crawfish.

[Alex]

Jesus would forgive you. You should forgive him, too.

[Mo]

Thank you for that.

[Alex]

Alex, to be a dick.

[Mo]

My man's fired up. All right. Today is Good Friday. I'm not talking about space because Alex.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, thank you.

[Mo]

He's already a little.

[Alex]

We'll ignore it.

[Mo]

Feisty.

[Alex]

We're not doing anything.

[Mo]

I thought maybe this would wind up in Houston headlines. United hiking their checked bag fees a lot by 10 bucks. That's a lot.

[Rod Ryan]

Seems like a lot.

[Mo]

$10 is a lot. Because of the. The fuel prices. They're hitting airlines so hard, so they're going to pass those costs down to you. Awesome.

[Alex]

I know. Bags use fuel.

[Mo]

Yeah. They got to get money out of you somehow. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And it. That's a significant jump. I did see that. It hasn't jumped since today. In two years. So it's been a minute.

[Mo]

Okay. So that's.

[Rod Ryan]

That's.

[Mo]

So that's happening. How about this? And is this sneaky or is it just technology? Walmart is rolling out digital price labels on the shelves, and the technology should be in all US Stores by the end of the year. Now what? Okay, well. Digital. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Cool. Of course not cool.

[Mo]

What's a pain in the ass for stores is to go change the price of something to roll it back and. Or to roll it back. But to change the price of something, somebody's got to go in there and change the. The. The.

[Rod Ryan]

The tag sticker.

[Mo]

The stickers right. This now could introduce what they call dynamic pricing, like Ticketmaster does. And when something is. And when something is selling from the push of a button from Mission Control, they can just go. And they can change the price and they could mark up the prices much easier this way. Dynamic pricing is what people are saying, what this really is. And it's not just. Oh, we're just moving forward with technology. Digital price labels.

[Alex]

When it burns out, it's free, though. You have to.

[Rod Ryan]

I took a picture Here you go. Cashier Alex has always got.

[Mo]

Got away.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my gosh. It could change. Like, while you have it in your cart, you could pick it up and it could look like it was $3, and then you could put it in your cart, and by the time you get to the cashier, it could be 10.

[Mo]

Yeah. Because when they change the digital, the price tag on the shelf, that'll affect the QR code. Like, they'll have one button. It's just like, boom, boom, boom. And all of a sudden. Yeah, you're right. From the. From the moment you take that bread off the shelf to the. To the checkout, it. The price change could have gone into effect.

[Rod Ryan]

It's kind of wild.

[Mo]

And you won't know it. I mean, unless I. I do see people watching every click.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. And you try to keep, like, a mental tally, especially if you're like, you know, trying. I'm gonna go grocery shopping. I'm trying to only spend 100 bucks.

[Mo]

Like, oh, you're gonna spend 100 bucks. You're gonna have four things in your cart.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, I know it's bad. I went to Walmart yesterday.

[Mo]

[Mo]

Yeah. How old are they?

[Alex]

All of them?

[Mo]

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, girl. Yes.

[Mo]

Then you need to know about the Easter Bunny Trackers Tracker. I didn't know about this. I like the Santa Tracker. There's an Easter Bunny tracker that mo we have a link up on on the website today. You can track the Easter Bunny. Okay. No idea about this. All right, Monica, hang on the phone. Enjoy that. People were asked what they're planning on buying if they are doing anything Easter related. The number one answer is candy. Number one answer, Candy. Candy. 92 of people said they're buying candy for this weekend. That's a lot. You know, I don't think you. I mean, this is people from all religions.

[Rod Ryan]

They're just like, yeah, it's out there, it's screaming at you no matter what store you go in. Easter still though, the second candy holiday to Halloween.

[Mo]

Yeah, I saw that as well. Number one answer was candy. The number two answer, food. If more people are. I mean, it's good to have food as a backup if you know when you're out of would you done in your peep coma. It's good that people are buying food.

[Rod Ryan]

Is that how you celebrate anything?

[Mo]

Food snacks wasn't a big gift giving holiday for us. But I've told this before. We did. We were churchy when we were young.

[Rod Ryan]

You grew up Catholic, huh?

[Mo]

The. The biggest torture. The Catholic church just likes to torture you.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, okay, that's a hot take. But yes,

[Mo]

when we were full church on family, okay, Every Sunday, even my dad was going then. My dad was the first one to peel off. My dad just kind of peeled off. Like before he. Before my parents split, my dad kind of peeled off. I noticed that he wasn't joining us on Sundays. And then, you know, we didn't say anything. And then as I got a little older, I'm like, well, dad's to not going going. You know, it was that and you know, my mom kind of losing us one kid at a time, you know. And then we became C and E Catholics.

[Rod Ryan]

We went on Christmas and Easter.

[Mo]

Christmas and Easter, okay. But when we were full on churchy, I don't know if any. Does anyone still do these old traditions. We weren't allowed to eat anything out of our Easter basket.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

And then my dad would take a big basket. No refrigeration, no nothing. Ham, Polish sausage, the mustard, okay. The sauerkraut. Everything would be in a big basket. We had to go get it blessed before, before we could touch anything. And we'd be sneaking jelly beans out of there and stuff like that. You know what I mean? But we weren't supposed to eat any of it. So everybody is lined up and it's the longest sermon ever.

[Rod Ryan]

They all got their baskets.

[Mo]

You're sitting there. Everyone brings their baskets to church, but you got to sit there, there for a full mass. And you're looking at, there's your, there's your chocolate bunny. There's like, it's torture.

[Rod Ryan]

The ham is something for a little kid.

[Mo]

Yeah. The ham is sitting out like, I've never heard of this. And then he's going by and he's like, you know, shooting the water at you. And you had to get it blessed before you ate any of it, really. Yeah. Weren't supposed to even touch what is

[Alex]

pretty mean to like make you, like

[Mo]

have to take when you're little? Little. This is when we were like I said we were small and we were like. It was like one of those where you're reaching in your basket, you're up, slaps your hand. Get out of there. Wait till we get home.

[Rod Ryan]

Unblessed candy.

[Mo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Alex]

We just have to do that with our Halloween candy. Take it to the devil and get.

[Rod Ryan]

Stop. Did you ever take it to the prison?

[Mo]

What's that about? What?

[Rod Ryan]

We would take it. There was some part of the 90s when I was growing up that we took our Halloween candy to the jail and they would run it through the X ray machine before you ate it

[Alex]

at the actual jail.

[Rod Ryan]

Yep. I mean, to check for needles.

[Mo]

Yeah. You had a. You had a big jail nearby.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, we all went. We all took our.

[Alex]

I always like getting a needle candy that was always cool candy to the Pope.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm taking it to the prison. What does that say about our childhood?

[Mo]

Yeah, it's just different things. A little bit different in Indiana. Just different times. I mean, when. Speaking of Halloween, I think that whole. And it happened in maybe. I'm sorry if it's not Deer park or whatever. That's where the whole. What was the.

[Rod Ryan]

The candy.

[Mo]

What was the. What was the candy that was in the. The sugar in the packet?

[Rod Ryan]

Pixie sticks.

[Mo]

Pixie sticks, yes. Like when I was a kid. Those were just taken from you.

[Alex]

That was cocaine. They just thought it was cocaine.

[Mo]

Arsenic or something like it. It happened here.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

And it was such a national story that it, it ruined that candy. Pixie sticks, they were in like a. A paper straw wrapper, A hard kind of straw wrapper. You'd rip it open. It was just straight sugar.

[Rod Ryan]

The candy man, it was Pasadena.

[Mo]

Pasadena.

[Rod Ryan]

He was poisoning his own 8 year old son with cyanide laced Pixie sticks.

[Mo]

Pixie sticks.

[Rod Ryan]

To claim life insurance.

[Mo]

So there was no. There was no Internet. All you did is you heard one story on the.

[Rod Ryan]

In the newspaper.

[Mo]

That's it. This thing is. You can't have this anymore. You can't. Pixie sticks ruined. I haven't seen one since.

[Alex]

Everybody would always be like, yeah, remember

[Mo]

if you get a candy apple.

[Alex]

Apple that could have razor blades. And I was like, buddy, if I get a candy apple, I'm throwing that thing the second I get past that house because I don't want it.

[Mo]

Or. Yeah, you're right.

[Alex]

I don't care if it's got razor blades in it because I'm not eating it.

[Mo]

Yeah. Candy doppel was a weird thing to give away. But yeah. So sitting there at church couldn't touch your candy. You're looking at it the whole time. You're not listening to all the great things about Jesus rising because you've been

[Rod Ryan]

at church five days in a row.

[Mo]

You're sitting there and you're staring. The same lesson you are staring at your chocolate wondering which one you're gonna attack first.

[Alex]

Did you make trades afterwards though? Like would you like. Hey, you all right? Reese's.

[Mo]

The only. This the only variance because there was all the same. The baskets were the same. The Easter bunny put the same amount. Everyone got a different like a featured chocolate.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, so like you got a race car hurt.

[Mo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exact. That's an exact example of how it was. That was the only difference in our Easter baskets. There wasn't. I mean down to the jelly bean. Because my mom knows that we would have sat and counted. Randy got two more jelly beans than me and three more peeps. Like we were that. Yeah, we were petty. We were petty. We. We counted. My mom had to put the exact amount in everybody's Easter bath. Or the Easter bunny had to put the exact. Okay. I hope you guys all have a great Easter Easter. I don't even know her. Happy Bunny day. The Rod ryan show on 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Breaking Benjamin and awaken now. Breaking Benjamin is coming to town with Chevelle. I thought other John was going be to be going to that show because that's what Chili put in the fresh out of bed Head to head this morning as the prize. And other John came up short today. Yeah. Going for win number five and changing his name to three time hall of famer. He still remains a two time hall of famer left at the doorstep. That's how it happens. It's been a wild week in the fresh out of bed Head to head man. Get up early. Join us in homeroom. I can't say all the best tickets tickets today on the show because we have AC DC tickets on mow the show. But Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle and Weezer all went out in the first hour of the show.

[Rod Ryan]

We started hot.

[Mo]

I think Chili's probably thought process is a lot of people are off reward the people that are still getting up early. People that don't have to be up that still woke up early to join us in homeroom.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you.

[Mo]

Maybe that's it. I don't know. You try to get into Chili's head. You might never leave.

[Rod Ryan]

So you know his body, though.

[Mo]

I do know his body. Yeah. So we were talking about the Pixie sticks and how that whole national epidemic 70s started here. Yeah. Pasadena. And it just reminded me I knew I came across something. Today, Mount Everest is in the news. Okay. And there's been a scam going on where some of the guides have been allegedly lacing the climbers food to trigger helicopter rescues. Hospitals are in on it. What? Hospital visits? All of these things. I'm talking millions and millions of dollars. These. The Nepalese police are in the news because they're investigating this thing. So these guides, Sherpa, and all these people that get you up to the top of the mountain, they're like, lacing the food to purposefully get them sick

[Rod Ryan]

as, like, an insurance scam.

[Alex]

Then you don't have to, like, work as hard.

[Mo]

Yes. Yeah. And it could be as simple as putting baking soda in their food. And then it causes you to get that sickness where you. The altitude sickness. Yeah. And helicopters are in on it. The local hospitals are in on it

[Rod Ryan]

because they're all benefiting. It's mad.

[Mo]

Whole thing. No, it's a whole. It's a whole. It's. It's over a $20 million insurance scam that's going on right now, and it's well over $20 million. It's wild. Yeah. Sad.

[Rod Ryan]

Those people that, like, are traveling there.

[Mo]

You're putting your lives in the hands of that Sherpa.

[Rod Ryan]

And I'm sure.

[Mo]

I'm sure 90% of them are awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

People like to believe it, but you also want to trust the people, like, at the hospitals.

[Mo]

I came up with a saying about Sherpas. I love Sherpas. Be more Sherpa.

[Alex]

Be more Sherpa.

[Mo]

Sherpa less. Schleppa. Be more Sherpa less. I can't remember.

[Alex]

You wouldn't know.

[Mo]

Just.

[Alex]

You wouldn't understand.

[Mo]

The Sherpas, they're just going up and down that mountain. And I got these millionaires, you know, bragging about and Instagramming it. That's like the 10th time they've been up there today, you know, caring, carrying all your crap, you know. Love Sherpas. I hated to hear this story. Yeah. That's a big thing in the news right now.

[Rod Ryan]

Interesting.

[Mo]

Yeah. Getting the.

[Alex]

These.

[Mo]

These millionaires purposefully. And I'm not. It's just you're paying all that money.

[Rod Ryan]

It's a lot of money.

[Mo]

You should get to the top of the mountain, you know, and you should have somebody Intervening. But yeah, that's. That story's everywhere today. All right, guys, I still stand by. Be less schleppa. Be more Sherpa in your life. Yeah. Schlappa schlepper is just that you're not doing anything.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It's schlepping.

[Mo]

You're just not. Yeah, yeah.

[Alex]

Yes.

[Mo]

Yeah. Don't be a schlappa. Be a Sherpa.

[Rod Ryan]

But not an insurance fraud.

[Mo]

Not an insurance scamming Sherpa.

[Rod Ryan]

That's in the fine print.

[Mo]

Poppy tickets next hour. We got beer. About 20, 19 minutes away from the next case of beer, Houston's rockin alternative,

[Rod Ryan]

the Rod ryan Morning show. 6 to 10am 94. 5 sub.

[Mo]

Uh, here we go. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. It's a Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's free beer Friday. Thank you Specs for the beers. Got another case coming up for you. Straight up at 8 o', clock, straight up at 9. Then it's open phones. I've already told you that AC DC tickets are back loaded on Mow the Show today. But I got Poppy tickets for you next hour. Closer to around 8:20. I'm refusing to do the weather because nobody can agree upon anything around here. All right. I think everybody. Tomorrow is where everybody doesn't know what's going on.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

Today, 10% chance of rain, mostly cloudy, high of 85 even.

[Rod Ryan]

That's changed.

[Mo]

Oh, the weather.

[Rod Ryan]

I'll talk it.

[Mo]

Just go. Just do what, what. Whatever it is you do here. Do it.

[Rod Ryan]

Good morning, Rod. President Trump announced yesterday that he's replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney general, saying she would be moving to role in the private sector. The deputy Attorney general, Todd Blanche, who previously served as Trump's personal defense attorney in his criminal cases, is going to step in as acting Attorney general. Then later in the day, we heard the news that Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, asked the army chief of staff to step down from his post. The Pentagon confirmed, saying Randy George will be retiring from his position effective immediately. Lots going on.

[Mo]

All right, what else?

[Rod Ryan]

My second story is supposed to be about weather, but we're skipping that, Right?

[Mo]

You waved me off of weather.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't want to talk about it. Like, look at the national news. They're talking about weather right now.

[Mo]

Yeah, but I don't care what's happening in Oklahoma, what's happening in Houston this weekend.

[Rod Ryan]

Elita is our girl. We love watching her in the mornings.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Bounce between her cheetah, see what's going on.

[Rod Ryan]

Right. She said 80 chance tomorrow.

[Mo]

Tomorrow. Here in Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

Here in Houston.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't. I don't know who to believe.

[Mo]

It is cooling off, though.

[Rod Ryan]

So it's a cold front that's bringing the rain.

[Mo]

And we agree that's like. Could be like a high of 70 on Sunday.

[Rod Ryan]

Chillier.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Mo]

But we just don't know what the rain situation is.

[Rod Ryan]

Tomorrow it's gonna rain.

[Mo]

We're fighting.

[Rod Ryan]

It's gonna rain. Bless Good Friday. That means Sunday is Easter, and you need to download your Easter Bunny tracker.

[Mo]

Tell me about this. This is brand. I'm today years old.

[Rod Ryan]

We track Santa, right? NORAD is the company that we use, and we follow him across the world.

[Mo]

It is. It has gotten so great over the years, the 3D tracking of Santa Claus and amazing technology. Okay, so NORAD, not involved in the Easter Bunny.

[Rod Ryan]

Not involved in the Easter Bunny Tracker, but there is a website or app to follow the Easter Bunny on his magical journey as he delivers treats around the world.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Goes live tomorrow. It even estimates his arrival time at your location. So it's pretty cute. We've posted up the link on our blog page at the world famous Rod Ryan show [e-mail] yesterday, a little bit rough day for Tiger Woods. He had the police body cam footage get released. It shows him failing his field sobriety tests, then stepping away to get on the phone when he returns to the police officers. He said, I was talking to the president. Super unsettling when he's hiccuping multiple times. That really hit me for some reason.

[Mo]

Why the hiccup sometimes.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Yeah. What does the hiccup say?

[Alex]

I don't know. I can't hiccup him.

[Rod Ryan]

Like, while the police are talking to him and he's hiccuping. That was just like. It got me in my stomach.

[Mo]

I was like, oh, but he wasn't. I mean, when I think hiccup, I would think drinking same. And he wasn't drinking.

[Rod Ryan]

He blew zeros.

[Mo]

Yeah, he did. He did take the. The Breathalyzer.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know what it was.

[Mo]

It was the blood test that he

[Rod Ryan]

refused, and then the back of the cop car.

[Mo]

Yeah. All the footage is. It's unsettling. I mean, Tiger woods being who he is, there's just. You cannot get behind the wheel of a car in that condition. You can't. And I don't think it's as easy as just, well, you know, he's got so much money. Why doesn't have somebody driving around all the time? Okay, maybe it is that easy. Maybe it is as simple as that. I don't know. You cannot drive in that condition.

[Rod Ryan]

He pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, but he is leaving the country for quote, unquote treatment.

[Mo]

He was bad.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. The video just like my stomach hurt. Turnstile. Former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert, to be exact. He was arrested on charges of second degree attempted murder and first degree assault. This all happened in Maryland. According to the most updated report.

[Mo]

Sports.

[Rod Ryan]

He's accused of trying to run over the dad of the lead singer of his former band with a car.

[Mo]

Does this have to do with him being kicked out, do they think or. We don't know.

[Rod Ryan]

He's definitely holding on to some things.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Which is why he was kicked out of his most recent band. Like he was in another band.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

And they were like, you know what? He was publicly trashing his former bands on social media. They're like, we don't want to be a part of this. Yeah.

[Mo]

So wrong. Got a kick out of your band.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

He gets upset.

[Rod Ryan]

Those are you Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

All right. That's why I can't release Alex. It's been here 10 years.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Never know.

[Mo]

I can't let go of them.

[Alex]

Never know.

[Mo]

[Alex]

[Rod Ryan]

I'm sweating.

[Mo]

Like, who's Rod? Was that some podcaster? Oh, no. What is that?

[Alex]

Okay, technically, a little bit, but you do have a podcast.

[Mo]

So happened was my neighbor was like driving up the bids, and then he drove it up too high and he got stuck with it.

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

This is funny.

[Mo]

My neighbor and his kids are coming in.

Nice.

[Mo]

How fun. I told him, don't talk. Don't say a word. Just kidding.

[Alex]

Don't even look at it at us.

[Mo]

Yeah, so. So that's if you see the cameras, if you see people in the room with us.

[Rod Ryan]

I love it.

[Mo]

We've never done this before. Like, I ran it by Radio wizard, thinking, okay, he'll probably just say no. He's like, oh, sure, it's a great idea. I'm like, dude, you can nix this if you want.

[Alex]

Help me get out of this.

[Mo]

We don't have to do this.

[Rod Ryan]

It's going to be great.

[Mo]

Tell me you hate the idea. Okay. Say nothing and I'll. I'll cancel it. He's like, no, it's fine. Do it. It sounds like a good thing. So that'll be fun. So we'll have some people joining us in the studio, just kind of observing. And it's. It's a good thing. It's helping the school and doing all that stuff. Now I'm going to be getting emails. Hey, can you do that for my kids? I get emails about bringing the Monster Jam truck to people's birthday parties.

[Mo]

How about this? The best chance of rain is tomorrow. Yeah. And then it is. No one's denying that it's going to cool off over the weekend. And it looks like Easter Sunday.

[Rod Ryan]

Nope. I blessed you.

[Alex]

I don't want it. I don't want that.

[Mo]

No meat today. This is a big no meat today day.

[Rod Ryan]

That's why everyone's doing crawfish eat all the meat.

[Mo]

That's why you keep hearing that is still meat. I understand that argument when I ask people about their weekend plans. Boy, the crawfish. It seems like today is like Crawfish Friday.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

I just never understood, like, fish is meat. Also. So is crawfish. What are you eating in the crawfish? You're eating the meat of the crawfish.

[Mo]

Big difference between a hamburger and a fish fillet sandwich.

[Alex]

A little bit turnstiles.

[Mo]

Trending. We were talking about about this in

[Alex]

Headlines, but the former Turn style guitarist Brady Ebert was arrested for attempted murder. Not great.

[Mo]

Rock and roll.

Yeah, you should be excited. I think you're gonna like what you hear, too. It's like we're talking, like, this is. My prediction is you're gonna say, I saw Poppy at the House of Blues. Can you believe I saw her years ago when she played the House of Blues? It'd be like seeing Lady Gaga in a couple club. Okay. One of those things. Yeah. Poppy's like an artist. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

I never win anything.

[Alex]

I'm so excited. Thanks, guys.

[Mo]

All right. Easter plans? No Easter plans. Just hanging out with the fam. Okay. All right, Hang on. Thank you, Celeste. Have an awesome time hanging out with the fam. We were talking about traveling earlier today on the show, and most of it's been years since United States did anything about fees with their checked bags. They've always charged.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Even Southwest is charging now.

[Rod Ryan]

I know.

[Mo]

Just a different world we live in. They asked me Southwest, who I always kind of championed on the show, and I'm still. I'm still in business with Southwest. Okay. Because I got the card and I got all the points. They asked me to take a survey. They said it was gonna take a couple minutes. And I'm like, I. The. The. The assigned seating. I'm not liking it.

[Rod Ryan]

You were honest about it.

[Mo]

I haven't taken the. But if it's about that, I'm going to take it today.

[Rod Ryan]

Me, too.

[Mo]

I'm going to take it today. The assigned seating. It's a. It's an S show. Yeah, it's. It sucks.

[Rod Ryan]

Why can't they figure it out? Everybody else has it figured out.

[Mo]

Yeah. I don't know. Something doesn't seem right about it. United is hiking their check bag fees to buy $10. Like, additional $10. So they were asking if, if you're. I guess this is the time of year that people are making plans. People that like, are awesome. That make plans ahead of time. A lot of people planning vacations and we've talked about travel. Is it supposed to be relaxing? You're supposed to go and do out, go and see all the things. But specifically they were asking people about the travel itself and your biggest, biggest pet peeves when you're traveling. And this talks about the. These are the top 10 travel pet peeves. Okay, let's hear the number one thing. Is a kid kicking a seat?

[Rod Ryan]

No way.

[Mo]

Number one.

[Rod Ryan]

No, no.

[Mo]

Okay. Where are you at with the person reclining?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't think anyone should recline their seats.

[Mo]

Okay, but what happens when they do? You just, you just deal with it.

[Rod Ryan]

Talk to Jesus and move on with your day, Right? Yes.

[Alex]

Just quietly wish for the worst for that purchase.

[Rod Ryan]

Well.

[Mo]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

God's will be done.

[Alex]

I'm not going to yell at somebody on an airplane, get on a no flight list.

[Mo]

Kids kicking the seat was number one. Now, when I never complain about a kid crying on a plane.

[Rod Ryan]

You can't.

[Mo]

You can't. And it's like I've flown with London when she was a baby and you just go in there and you just, you, you literally do. You pray and you hope for the best.

[Rod Ryan]

You're sweating the whole time and, and

[Mo]

I never realized it because when I was younger, you're thinking, oh, God, crying kid, blah, blah, blah. You know, you don't have kids. You're not in that space. You don't think about it. You just think what an inconvenience it is for you to have to listen to that. I couldn't believe this when I was getting off the plane and how many people stopped by and said, oh, my God, your kid was so good? Like they notice it.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Because they've been in that space before. They know what it's like. But if a kid is kicking a seat that is controllable, you're not controlling your kid.

[Alex]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

Just tell the parent.

[Mo]

I think it's super high up on the list. I don't know that it's number one.

[Alex]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

Are you not sitting by someone? Are you never sat by someone who is watching without headphones?

[Alex]

That is pretty bad.

[Rod Ryan]

That's got to be worse, depending on what they're watching. If you like what they're watching, you're okay with it.

[Alex]

I watched a movie with a dude who's a stranger.

[Mo]

Music or movies without headphones. I think they will tell you now that you have to.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, they'll bring you headphones that you have.

[Mo]

Have to be. You have to be headphoned up.

[Alex]

That's Golden Eye 007. Strange, North Carolina.

[Mo]

Anyone that uses speakerphone or talks loudly on the phone. I mean, I don't know that we'll ever get to a point. Remember when we thought if you turned on your phone during the plane, the plane was going to crash cuz you were going to mess with all the instrumentation.

[Rod Ryan]

They really did.

[Mo]

Like I. That's not a thing. Right. Like we now know that's not a thing. And we probably could talk on our phones in all the flights now.

[Alex]

Right.

[Mo]

I don't ever want that to be a thing. I don't ever want somebody talking next to me on a phone. People don't understand like the. The space of like somebody being right next to you and talking and situation how loud you need to be. People can't adjust the volume of their voice. Yeah, I don't think people know that.

[Rod Ryan]

That was two and three on the list.

[Mo]

Speakerphone was three people ignoring your personal space was two. I just. The kids kicking the seat. People said that was by far and away number. Number one. Hogging the armrest made the thing. Middle guy gets both armrests, right? Middle gal. Middle person.

[Rod Ryan]

Middle person gets both armrests. And your feet need to be contained in the middle also.

[Mo]

Oh man. Spreading was a thing for a while.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, there's. There's two bars.

[Alex]

Spreading in general. I got stuck on the flight. It was a Southwest flight and I was.

[Rod Ryan]

You were the little person.

[Alex]

My wife at the window and the biggest person on the plane was next to me and should have definitely had to buy two seats.

[Mo]

I'm gonna leave it at this where I think I'm gonna.

[Rod Ryan]

That's rough.

[Mo]

Where I think I'm gonna fight mo.

[Rod Ryan]

Bring it on.

[Mo]

Can you take off your shoes on a flight?

[Rod Ryan]

No. Leave your shoes on, you nasty person.

[Mo]

Why do I feel like you would slip off your shoes?

[Rod Ryan]

Because my shoes are always off.

[Mo]

What are you wearing right now? Like you some weird open toes.

[Rod Ryan]

Shoes on today.

[Mo]

You're laced up.

[Rod Ryan]

But I'm wearing without socks especially.

[Alex]

Yeah, especially if you don't have socks on. Like you can't take off your shoes even with socks. But if you don't have socks. You're an animal. You're an absolute animal. And you should have to fly in the body with the animals.

[Rod Ryan]

I've been on a plane before smelling it right now. Stop talking about it.

[Mo]

I've been on a plane before where I realized, okay, whoa, dude, you tighten. You know, it's too tight. Like, I've loosened my shoes and I've like, untied them. I've never ever once taken off my shoes on a plane. That is so. This is the second time it's coming out. It's uncouth. The new show. The new show term is being uncouth club over here. Yeah.

[Alex]

Those photos and videos of the people that like stick their foot like on the side of the the window where it's like going into the other person's lane. It's like you should be able to get punched if that happens.

[Mo]

Yeah. But flip flop Austin guy. Guy, he's kicking those flip flops off.

[Rod Ryan]

Gross.

[Mo]

Right? Flip flop Austin guy, the guy from Austin on with the flip flops. He's not keeping those on. He's not having that little fongy thing between his toes when he's flying. He's kicking those off. Who's flying flip flops?

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I was going to the beach. Yeah. And flip flops. But I keep them on.

[Mo]

Yeah. Wear them at the beach.

[Alex]

I brought one pair of shoes.

[Mo]

Reclining seats is on. On the list.

[Rod Ryan]

Gross.

[Mo]

Hogging the armrests. Bo guy is the worst. For me, that's number one on the list. B O guy smells, you know, smelly guy smells good smelly guy or over, over fragrant cologne guy on a plane.

[Alex]

I don't want to smell you ever. Good or bad.

[Mo]

I could call. I don't smell you at all. All right, have fun. If you're planning trips, you're awesome. If you're planning this early, by the way, for summer. Wow. Hi, I'm a boy bunny. Hi, I'm a girl bunny. Well, yeah. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay. Well, thanks.

[Mo]

You're welcome. Bye. For Easter. This is the Rod Ryan show.

[Rod Ryan]

True that, peeps on 94.

[Mo]

5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Bad omens. And just pretend. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Free beer Friday still. We got that case of beer coming up. Straight up at 9:00'. Clock. And then open phones. You guys call in. Anything you want to talk about. You want to plug something you want to talk about what you're doing this weekend? Anything goes. I thought this was funny because we just didn't we talk about this week? I told you guys. I shared with you a story that There was like some phone call. I don't know what was going on in my mom's life at the time, but she notified all three of us, all three of us kids. Like, this is last call for crap in my house.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh yeah. We were talking about.

[Mo]

Did that come up this week?

[Alex]

Because my daughter was wearing my old goalie and you were like, you grab all of your stuff there.

[Mo]

You still have stuff at your mom's house?

[Alex]

I have some stuff there. Well then yeah. Yeah, I guess if they don't ever move out of that house that you were in, I feel like sometimes it's easier to do that, linger because they never turned it into another room. Like I could. They cleared out a lot of stuff.

[Mo]

There could be a million reasons why my mom snapped. I don't know what it was, but it was just like, guys, I'm just letting you all know I want everything out of this house. If it's yours. If you don't want it, it's going in the trash. And I still had stuff. I still had baseball cars and I saw stuff. I sort of get it, get it out.

[Alex]

As a parent, you get them like, because like you'll step over something. I could throw away all of these things right now. Like, this doesn't need to be in my house.

[Rod Ryan]

Why did I just step on that toy again?

[Mo]

90.

[Alex]

I mean, how many bikes do you need?

[Mo]

All I keep hearing about is young adults aren't leaving home of the young adults that have left home. And I don't know where the Young cutoff is.92 of young adults still have belongings in their parents house when they move out. And the parents are fine with it. My mom's a psycho. She's like, get it out of here. I want it all out, everything.

[Alex]

Oh, we use my parents house for storage all the time. They have like a attic room that will you like. We have our Christmas tree and a bunch of Christmas decorations there. So every Christmas, Christmas with a bit. I'm gonna go over there.

[Mo]

You have stuff your parents have left?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, they just moved here actually not that long ago.

[Mo]

But were they in the house before they moved here? Were they in the house that you were in?

[Rod Ryan]

No, they've moved a couple times. But the first big move out of the house that I grew up in was when it was like the drastic cutback.

[Mo]

That's what.

[Alex]

Yeah, you lose all of that stuff.

[Mo]

So where do you. I don't. It depends if your parents are like this might. See, my mom was a pack rat, so I get it. My sister did not get this.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, my mom kept everything.

[Mo]

So where are, like, Mo's report cards? Like, in a box.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, so to be where not to be morbid. My house burned down as a child, so I do have less stuff.

[Mo]

Jesus.

[Rod Ryan]

But I know it's crazy, right? But, like, pictures from my grandma's house. My mom will keep them, and I'll be like, mom, you just keep those? And she will, like, come to my house to babysit or something, Hang out with the kids.

[Mo]

Kids.

[Rod Ryan]

And she'll, like, leave stuff around my house.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

And then I find it, and I'm like, mom, why did you. Why did you hang that childhood a picture of me on my mantle?

[Mo]

Right? She has that stuff.

[Rod Ryan]

She loves to, like, trickle my mom. That's psycho.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

My brother lives in San Francisco, and his wife, like, he and his wife will FaceTime us for the kids, and then he'll be like, yeah, my mom sent this, and it'll be just like some school work he did in, like, fourth grade. And she's like, I found this.

[Mo]

This. I thought you might want it.

[Alex]

And it was like, her way of being like, I don't want it in the house anymore. Like, if you want to hang out with this picture you drew of a

[Mo]

duck, I can't even imagine what your mom has.

[Alex]

We have the same, like, every binder I had of, like, like, Trapper Keepers and stuff. Like, she. You could go by grade. And she's just like, well, we can't throw it out.

[Mo]

It's wonderful.

[Rod Ryan]

Anytime I was in newspaper, she cut all that out. And she would buy, like, three newspapers and send one to grandma, one to other grandma.

[Alex]

Every foot football season that I played, she got the, like, fake Sports Illustrated cover. Or was it all state selection?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Same mom.

[Mo]

Speaking of your mom, there's no way in hell that you made that bunny cake.

[Alex]

I mean, I could have made it.

[Mo]

You did not make that bunny cake. You walked in with a bunny cake today.

[Alex]

Yeah, my mom and my oldest daughter Elle made that. Elle put the jelly beans on. But my mom made the cake, and she said that she wanted to make it for you guys.

[Mo]

Is that the same as the some

[Alex]

bunny wants to go to homecoming with you cake?

[Rod Ryan]

Can you tell that story, please?

[Mo]

Alex's mom made him a cake for homecoming. When he asked the girl that was

[Rod Ryan]

his ask proposal, if you will, he

[Mo]

presented her a bunny cake. Now where does it say some bunny wants to take it?

[Alex]

A sign that said that. So, like, it was like, I graduated high high school in 08, and, like, promposals were in their infancy.

[Rod Ryan]

It was a very beach.

[Alex]

Yes. It was a very new thing. But usually it was just like, you do it, like, in a big group

[Mo]

setting with a sign for the Internet

[Rod Ryan]

at home, if you're watching.

[Alex]

I was under the impression that, like, you didn't have. I didn't think you had to do promposals when it wasn't prom. That's why it's promposals. But I was scolded by someone that was like, it's homecoming.

[Mo]

How are you not gonna do a

[Alex]

fancy way to ask me homecoming? And so I was.

[Mo]

So you're on board with that? You're not like, oh, Mom, I'm not doing that. Like, you're like, I didn't want to,

[Alex]

but I was shamed. And I was like, why don't my date. My date to hate me?

[Mo]

You're like, the cakes.

[Alex]

I was like, mom.

[Mo]

Well, I had to come up with

[Alex]

something on the fly. Mom, what can we do?

[Rod Ryan]

And she was like, hilarious.

[Alex]

She was just throwing ideas. Remember the bunny cakes?

[Mo]

She goes, bunny.

[Alex]

And I was like, all right, let's go.

[Mo]

I got that bunny mold.

[Alex]

I was like, we can do this tomorrow. Let's go. Let's get it done. I went and I bought poster board. My mom made the cake.

[Mo]

I thought it killed it. It's killing.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. Let's go. Call the girl that you asked.

[Mo]

Would you start cutting this? And would you start cutting this cake? Are we serving?

[Alex]

Yeah. Everybody, we have in studio guests. They're more than welcome to have some bunny cake. Let's go.

[Mo]

Give them cake. Let them eat cake. Thank you. Thanks to your mom for thinking of us. Thanks, Mom.

[Alex]

I know.

[Mo]

We've got so Messy. Less than 20 minutes for the final case of beer today for free beer Friday, and then it's open phones Friday. I cannot wait for you guys to talk about even more than you already do. The Buzz rock and alternative for Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

The Rod ryan Morning Show. 6 to 10am 94.

[Mo]

5 the buzz. Good morning, Rob Ryan Show. Free beer Friday still, until at least we give away that fourth and final case of beer. Thank you. Specs for the beer. Are we still fighting about the weather?

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

So tomorrow it's gonna rain. Tomorrow the weather will be weathering. There's rain. Nobody can agree on a percentage of what kind of rain we're going to get. But tomorrow's our best chance of rain for the weekend. Today, really not much chance. But then Mo says, yes, all right, I'm out of business. With the weather. Nobody comes to us for weather. Please don't they come to us for MO And Houston headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Let me tell you what's going on, please. Yesterday, President Trump announced he's replacing Pam Bondi with another guy, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

[Alex]

Or Blanche.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm going with Lynch. He previously served as Trump's personal defense attorney in his criminal cases and he's going to step in as acting Attorney general. Then later in the day, we heard the news that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had asked the army chief of staff named Randy George to step down from his post. The Pentagon confirmed it and said he would be retiring from his position effective immediately. That was big day yesterday. Okay.

[Mo]

A lot of changes.

[Rod Ryan]

Lots of changes. Also, today's the last day to get your vote in for the Rock and Roll hall of Fame fan votes. As of right now, New Edition is leading the fan votes. They knocked out Phil Collins for first place.

[Mo]

Do you have. Do you have everything?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I have it pulled up right now.

[Mo]

Where's inxs? Does anybody care about In Excess?

[Rod Ryan]

In excess? They are not got. INXS.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5. They're in 6.

[Mo]

Nobody cares now, I believe.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait, they're above Billy Idol. They're above Mariah Carey. They're above Iron Maiden. Lauren Hill. Top six is good.

[Mo]

Iron Maiden needs to go in, otherwise it's over. Like, but they.

[Rod Ryan]

Oasis is the bottom now.

[Mo]

Wait a minute.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm telling you, this is fan voting. I don't understand what's going on. New Edition has over a million votes. Boats. They must have, like, rallied the troops.

[Mo]

Oasis is at the bottom.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. Bottom three.

[Mo]

Because that's another band that I don't know that they'll go. If they. If they get in.

[Rod Ryan]

Their fans don't want them there.

[Mo]

I mean, they're all back together and everything, too. It would be convenient, but just saying

[Rod Ryan]

it's a little weird, the whole voting thing.

[Mo]

Well, he did just get a songwriter award. He went to that show. But that was in Britain. I don't know. Nobody cares about Oasis.

[Rod Ryan]

Bottom three. Rod, we know you can.

[Mo]

I do.

[Rod Ryan]

If you happen upon some Easter candy this weekend, let me help elevate your experience. We've got a list of the best wines to pair with your Easter candy.

[Mo]

Really? What goes with this? Bunny cake.

[Rod Ryan]

Bunny cake? Not on the list.

[Mo]

Keante. Scotch. Scotch.

[Rod Ryan]

I do see Rice Crispy Treats with Chardonnay. It's the closest thing to cake. Okay, Peeps. Also goes with Chardonnay. I don't know anything about wine.

[Alex]

Yeah, they just put random names there. There's no way that anybody's really, like,

[Rod Ryan]

someone that knows what they're doing.

[Mo]

There is some nerd. I don't think it's Somalia.

[Alex]

This is funny.

[Rod Ryan]

They go to college for that match

[Alex]

as well, with a special school, 97 Chianti.

[Mo]

There's some snooty wine person that really thinks what they're doing is, like, they're doing a service to people.

[Rod Ryan]

We're talking about it on the radio.

[Alex]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mo]

You know what goes with Smarties? Then they'll tell you, like, what wine goes with that. They really believe in it. Shut up and drink your wine.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex, this one's for you. I have some further clarity on that whole Lindsay Buckingham attack we talked about yesterday. So the incident actually happened back March 25th. There was an investigation in progress, but apparently Mr. Buckingham arriving at an appointment, a woman.

[Alex]

Sir. Buckingham.

[Rod Ryan]

Threw an unknown substance at him. Turns out he has filed a restraining order against this woman. And that happened back in 2025. She is claiming to be his daughter, and she is walking free, talking, doing interviews. Talked to a local news station saying, yeah, I visited him last week.

[Mo]

How old is she?

[Rod Ryan]

In her 50s.

[Mo]

She's in her 50s. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Exactly 55ish.

[Mo]

That was Lindsay in the 70s. Lindsay was probably highly sought after by the gals.

[Alex]

Had himself a good time.

[Rod Ryan]

You're saying there's a chance.

[Mo]

I'm saying Lindsay was having a good time in the 70s. Good time. I'm not saying that she's writing a lot of songs.

[Rod Ryan]

Wouldn't the first thing you do take a test?

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Or would you just say, this woman's crazy?

[Mo]

It's just weird.

[Alex]

Well, it depends on if you wanted a daughter or not.

[Mo]

It's just weird to pick Lindsay Buckingham out of all the rock stars because

[Alex]

he was awesome, dude.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

The most underrated guitarists of all time.

[Rod Ryan]

Rod, you were talking earlier about Courtney Love doing Billy Corgan's podcast.

[Mo]

Yeah. And six Crazy Courtney Love thing.

[Rod Ryan]

She was a little off her rocker. The headlines that came out of that sit down. Are all surrounding her being trafficked as a teen, being sent to Japan to be an adult performer. Dancer, if you will.

[Mo]

Yeah. Stripper.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes. I was reading through the transcripts after you brought it up. I just was curious how the interview went down. That's usually what I do when you say something. I look deeper into it. She was living in Portland. Portland, Oregon. She got shipped off to Japan. They took away her passport, and she was being. Every 10 days, she would move to a different theater. On the outskirts of Tokyo. She said it was a blast which happened the time of her life.

[Mo]

Was she person napped or did she go willingly?

[Rod Ryan]

She's using the word trafficked.

[Alex]

Vegas Stockholm syndrome.

[Rod Ryan]

Said it was delightful.

[Mo]

Do, do we believe her?

[Rod Ryan]

That's a good question.

[Mo]

Now she got very specific about she had. She was like, she has my song, my performance song that she danced to.

[Rod Ryan]

This is it.

[Mo]

This is Foreigner Urgent.

[Rod Ryan]

Yep, this is the one.

[Mo]

This was her song as a teenager.

[Rod Ryan]

This is what she chose.

[Mo]

Alex likes it. He likes the sack. He likes a good Saxon rock song.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

The Courtney Love Billy Corgan podcast dropped yesterday and it's pacing to be maybe his most pop, his biggest one yet.

[Rod Ryan]

She had a lot, lot of things to say.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

This is an easy one. I do it every Easter. Every Friday. Before you see, we're painting mix, but not in person.

[Mo]

Well, this is like the carving of

[Alex]

the pumpkins you do virtually so you don't have to make a mess.

[Rod Ryan]

That's cute.

[Alex]

So you can paint your egg however you want and then, yeah, you're done. Print it out.

[Rod Ryan]

Print it out.

[Alex]

Instead of having to hard boil them and do all that stuff, I bought

[Mo]

the old school paas. Oh, yeah. The little kit you mix it with the vinegar.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, I bought that, too.

[Mo]

Old school.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Mo]

There's all kinds of fancy egg painting things now. I'm still old school, dipping it in the, the. The stuff that's probably no good for you.

[Alex]

Yeah. Well, now you don't have to do that. All right. I like, go to today's AOL12M Rod Ryan show page the buzz dot com.

[Mo]

All right, let's go. Hey, you're in luck. It's open phones Friday. All right. Joe's been holding the longest open phones Friday. Joe, you're on. Hey, brother Rod. How's it going? Good. How are you, Joe? Good, good. Hey, man, I want to let you know I got some of those, the Monster Jam tickets a while back, and those are good stuff seats. A. Did you buy the discounted ones? Yes, I did. The ones you on on Tuesday morning. Yeah, the 945. Those are good seats. Those are 300 level seats. There's 50 bucks. Yeah, they're actually pretty good seats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been listening to you guys for a while. The first time I Actually called you Daddy. Thank you, Joe. It's good to have you first.

[Alex]

Wait a minute.

[Mo]

Hang on. Is this the first time you've ever been on the show? Yeah, first time ever. Thank you, Joe. Appreciate you, man. Have a great weekend. Thomas, you're next up on open phones. Good morning. Hey, good morning, man. Good morning, Thomas. What you got for us? Last Saturday, I saw a Giovanni and

[Alex]

the Hired Guns in Edo.

[Mo]

It was at a car show called Hot Rods and High Heels. What was the crowd like? What was the crowd like for them? How many people in front of that stage? If you had to guess, less than. Probably 300. Yeah, it was. It was pretty intimate, man. It was pretty close. I mean, not. They're not from Houston. They're from Texas. Yeah, Stevensville. Okay. Did you get a chance? Yeah, man. Did they meet the crowd and afterwards. Are they hanging out afterwards at the merch booth or anything? They didn't sell no merch, but they were hanging out. It was. It was pretty. It was pretty good concert, man. I'm telling you. Y' all need to play more Giovanni, and not just, you know, Ramona. A bunch of Gotcha. Yeah, they got a lot of good songs, man. All right, Thomas. Thank you. It's a good recommendation. Arthur, you're next up on open phones. Good morning, Arthur. Morning, sir. How's it going? It's going great, dude. How are you today? Doing well, but, you know we're gonna have a battle here because it's pronounced pass, not pos. Just want to point that out there. Pass. Oh, the Easter egg stuff that I bought? Yeah. How do you say it?

[Alex]

How do you know that?

[Mo]

Yeah, why do you know that you do it?

[Alex]

I'm 39.

[Mo]

I grew up cultured.

[Rod Ryan]

But anyway, that's how you do it.

[Mo]

I like it.

[Rod Ryan]

Who died and made you God?

[Mo]

How do you know I'm 39. Okay. Ask a question, get an answer. What else do you got, Arthur? But no, so the main thing is, you know, with Easter coming around the corner. Need to kind of remember with the church events, they're for the kids. There's no point in being adult and acting all nutty and crazy. For example, last year, my church had an event with my niece, and what happened was, is that there was an Easter egg contest, but they had money in the eggs. They had gift cards, and some of the eggs. Parents are crazy.

[Alex]

Exactly.

[Mo]

Parents can be crazy. Needless to say, I almost threw down, but it's like, wait, no, I'm at a church. I need to. Can you imagine, like, parents throwing elbows At a Easter egg hunt at a church. For real. It's crazy. But, yeah, like I said, if anything, people just gotta remember, hey, calm down, it's for the kid. You know, let's all have a nice

[Rod Ryan]

Easter, you know, you for the reminder.

[Mo]

That's good. Yeah. He's 39.

[Rod Ryan]

39. He knows everything.

[Mo]

He knows these things. Arthur, thank you. That's really good advice. There's. There's a parent out there that was ready to throw down at an Easter egg hunt. It's like Arthur just talked him off the ledge. Chris. Chris, you're next up on open phones. Good morning, Chris. Hey, good morning, Rod. Good morning. What you got? Yeah, I actually want to promote a show that we have got going on next Friday at Wildcatters. Our band, Suffering in Silence, is now

[Alex]

off our six month hiatus and finally

[Mo]

playing a show again. And we are opening up for a band called Burning Witches, which is going to be amazing and really fun. Now you're in the band? Yes, sir. What do you play? I play guitar. Okay. And I'm sorry, I know you guys hate this. What kind of music? What is your band? You know, like, give us some frame of reference. So our band is a little bit of mixture of new metal and metal core. So modern metal, like about like Bad Omens, Fire from the Gods and a little bit of that. And then you have old school stuff like Flipknot, Deftones, Raise against the Machine, mix of both genres. All right. Actually, we've actually spoken before. I was actually in the Limp Biscuit tribute band I. A while back. Oh, he was in. I remember you calling about the Limp Bizkit tribute band. Yeah, so this is my original band. Yeah. Okay. Wildcatters. When's your gig? April 10th. April 10th.

[Rod Ryan]

Nice.

[Mo]

All right, dude. And what's the name of the band? Suffering in Silence. Suffering in Silence. And you got the. The Instagram and Tik Toks and all that stuff. Suffering in Silence. Yes.

[Alex]

On suffering on our Instagram, it's going

[Mo]

to be Ed S I S H T X and we do have the link for that show next week on our Instagram. I'm going to let you go after this. I. One last question for you. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Do you guys, like. Do you want, like a record contract? Like, are you trying to, like, do original songs and send them to get signed? And you. Do you want to be. Do you want to do this for the rest of your life or is it just a side gig for you and you have fun with it? To be honest, with you. That is the goal for all seven of us in the band. Honestly, like, that is my. My dream ever since I was about, like 7, 16, 17 years old. Me too. That's what I did. I, like, I. That's why I did it. It wasn't just a weekend thing for me. That's what I wanted to do with my life. And then we sucked, so we just didn't go any further. Reality, that was the problem. Like, you know, our girlfriends told us we were good. We were in that space. All right, dude, listen, I. I hope we're talking to a future rock star here. I really do. I mean that. I want you guys to get the record contract. I want the chicks, the gold records. The chicks. Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, we. Honestly, we've been trying to. We thought we were going to try to throw our hat in for the

[Alex]

the Buzz contest this year, but I'm not.

[Mo]

I don't know if you guys are doing it still, but we would love to do that contest as well.

[Alex]

All right.

[Mo]

I'm pushing wizard to do some of that stuff.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

All right. Wishing you more ladies than Jay Z's got Mercedes. Okay, that's another line open. 713-212-5945. The Rod Ryan show on 94. 5 the Buzz. 94. 5 the Buzz. That sleep theory and stuck in my head. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. True story. Sleep Theory. The guitar player called him a radio show once. They were an open phones Friday, and he's like, yeah, I'm in this band, Sleep Theory, and I'm hoping to make a big one of these days. He called you? No, it's not a true story. I'm just.

It's open phones Friday. We pay a guy to tell you that. It's open phones Friday. You know, I want that job.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah. Retirement plan.

[Mo]

When they kick me out, I'm like, I want to be the voice guy, the radio station.

[Rod Ryan]

You'll haunt us forever.

[Mo]

And nobody. Nobody really responded to that. All right, back over to the phone 7. I got a couple lines open. I'm gonna get you guys on 7. 1-3-212-5945. This is Mark. Mark's been holding the longest. Thanks for hanging in there, bro. Hey, brother Rod, how you feel doing this morning? So great. So great. I'm glad you're on. What do you Got. You're on the air. There's like fives and tens of people listening.

[Alex]

Yeah, right.

[Mo]

I just wanted to give you all a shout. Like, I know we're super pumped about the golf tournament on the 15th. We're going to be sponsoring a hole with y'. All. So super excited about that. And so is our crew. What. What hole are you sponsoring? What's. What's the name of your business? I'm not sure what hole we have yet, but it is House of Bounce, Alvin. Oh, Are you bringing an actual. Actual bounce house out there? What? I don't know what the rules are. Yeah, we're gonna bring. We're gonna bring some other cool stuff out, though. We're not gonna bring any bounce house, but we're gonna bring some other cool stuff. You know what? Good call. A lot of drinking adults.

[Rod Ryan]

Mark's bringing a slip and slide.

[Mo]

Yeah, yeah, right. We'll bring a waterfall. Yeah, yeah. Wildcat. I love that.

[Rod Ryan]

We don't need a bounce house.

[Mo]

So tell me about your business.

[Rod Ryan]

So what do y' all do?

[Mo]

People can rent bounce bounce houses from you. You drop them off. Kids parties. Yeah, we do that. Normal stuff, but we also do large city events and different stuff like that. So, like, right now is our prime time. We're all over the place in Bel Air, Alvin, Houston, Pearland, Lake City. Is there such a thing as a, like an adult approved, even for weight? Is there an adult bounce bounce house? Are they all built for children? So roughly you're. You're running on size limits, so we tell everybody most everything's got a 750 pound weight limit. So long as you're not exceeding that, you're probably okay. Depends on what you're looking at.

[Rod Ryan]

750.

[Mo]

What do you say? Verbal trademark, adult bounce house dot com. We're buying it.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Mo]

And then we just get super strong bounce house material and we make bounce houses for adults.

[Alex]

Never known why they didn't build, like actual houses out of bounce house material.

[Mo]

Oh, you. You would definitely be surprised because we have some big ones. We got a 35 foot tall slide and a 32 foot tall slide and. Wow, they're. The adults are crazy over those. Alex and I are going to put you out of business, Mark. Sorry.

[Alex]

Sorry, dude.

[Mo]

All right. Hey, thanks for being involved in the golf tournament.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, we can't wait to see you there.

[Mo]

Can't wait to come party at your home, Mark. Bridget. Bridgette. Bridget. It's Bridget.

[Rod Ryan]

Overthinking it.

[Mo]

It's Bridget. What's your name? It's Bridget. Bridget. It's Bridget. Nailed it. What do you got? Just like we thought. So two things. I just wanted to apologize. The other day I had won tickets to go see Blue October. And as I was pulling into work, which is a funeral home home, some guy was on my butt and he was blared his horn so loud in yalls ears. I don't know if you remember that or not.

[Rod Ryan]

We've been talking about it ever since it happened.

[Alex]

I won't shut up about it.

[Mo]

I just wanted to also remind everybody,

[Rod Ryan]

like first of all, this is a

[Mo]

little two lane road. It's 2854 between Conroe and Montgomery. Okay? And I'm in a little bitty Kia and.

[Rod Ryan]

Tell him, Bridget, tell him.

[Mo]

And I just want to, if he's listening, like, hey guy, we can only go so fast on that road. And there was already a car in front of me and I put my turn signal on and I was trying

[Rod Ryan]

to turn in and time out, take a minute and slow down.

[Mo]

And then also another thing while I have you. I just opened a rage room in Montgomery County. I've been open one year. And that guy. If you're listening, come in. I will give you a free toast.

[Rod Ryan]

You need some anger release.

[Mo]

So Bridget called here to apologize under the guise of just blasting this jag off or whoever this guy is that was sawing at her bumper.

[Rod Ryan]

Yes.

[Mo]

And tooting the horn.

[Rod Ryan]

And Bridget owns a rage room.

[Mo]

Yeah. Well, maybe that guy's listening. I hope he is.

[Rod Ryan]

No, he would not be a listener of the Rod Ryan show.

[Mo]

Bridget, very fun, funny stuff. Thank you. You're awesome. Thank you guys.

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you for what you do.

[Mo]

Thank you so much. Jj, you're next up on open phones. Good morning, jj. Brother. Rob, Mo. Alex. Good morning. Good Friday. What's up? Good Friday to you, sir. What's going on? I just wanted to say I agree with Alex. That's the thing's all a hoax. You round earthers got it all wrong. You know, you just walk to the edge and jump off.

[Alex]

Thank you.

[Mo]

I'm not doing this.

[Alex]

You stand up sane person. That's not buying what the lamestream media is trying to sell us.

[Mo]

So. That's right. That's right. The die till the dinosaurs died, they just walked the edge and fell off. So yeah, completely with Alex on there. Here's what I will. This is where I will agree with you. The headlines, all the titles of the articles, everything that you're reading. We're going back to the moon is misleading.

[Rod Ryan]

We all agreed on that.

[Mo]

It's not about that.

[Alex]

When do they stop?

[Mo]

That is not the way to sell this. This to us. We were going and doing flyby and going around the moon.

[Rod Ryan]

Every headline does that.

[Alex]

Not my headlines.

[Mo]

It's all cheese. Anyway, so I don't know what you're talking about. All right, so someone else is pissed off like you. Anybody want to talk crawfish?

[Rod Ryan]

Let's go. Today's the day.

[Mo]

Sherry Cherry, good morning. Hey, good morning. Good morning. What you got? You want to talk about crawfish?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

So this is the weekend for crawfish, right? That's what I've heard. Every time the people that have bit on the. Hey, what do you got planned for this weekend? It seems like the world is eating. Well, our world here is eating crawfish today. Heck, yeah. But I wanted to talk to y' all because I heard y' all talking about it on Wednesday. And my in laws are from Louisiana, South Louisiana. And they have taught me a lot about crawfish. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm hearing an echo and it sucks. Oh, that's okay. You're doing great. You sound awesome.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, tell us more. Teach us.

[Mo]

So, okay, what I was talking about. What I was talking about on the radio, I said that when I grew. Well, I didn't grow up in Louisiana. I. I spent some time in New Orleans. But it was before Katrina, and crawfish was. That was. That was a backyard party thing. It was a. It was a get together family. And it wasn't a go out to eat, to go eat crawfish thing. Right. And then I do believe. I. I don't think this is a. I don't think this is a wild theory, but with the disbursement of all the people from Hurricane Katrina, I think Louisiana culture spread out everywhere. And then crawfish.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, we had it here before Katrina. We did have it here before.

[Mo]

Sure. Of course you did. Did. But yeah, it wasn't as widespread. Like, people didn't lose their mind over the way they do now? Oh, no, no, no, no. We did, but it was a lot cheaper and it was so good. Do you make it yourself or do you allow. Does somebody else in the family do that? No, I want to know if you do it. So my husband makes the best. Best crawfish.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, naturally.

[Mo]

What is it? Yes. What's the secret ingredient? What's the one secret ingredient he puts in there? A little pineapple juice?

[Rod Ryan]

Ravioli?

[Mo]

Little brown sugar? What? No, none of that. What's he put in there? Just the seasoning the seasoning. Just the seasoning. That is the key. What makes it the best? I don't even know, because I don't.

[Rod Ryan]

I'm not over there. Yeah, probably.

[Mo]

I'm drinking. I'm drinking with the girls and doing my own thing.

[Rod Ryan]

Leave her alone, Rose.

[Mo]

All day. All right, Cherry, thank you. You. You're awesome. But, hey, also, I've met y' all several times at the ditch show.

[Alex]

You know, at the Ditch.

[Mo]
