Okay. Hey, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Good morning, this is Ed McMahon. And now ladies and gentlemen, here's Rod Ryan. Okay, let's go. Wakey wakey, Hands off. Snaky Rod Ryan show checking in free beer Friday. Thank you Specs for the beers. Beer straight up at 6, 7, 8, 9. Man, we got a hell of a show planned for you today. Five time hall of famer, Big bad Brad going for win number two. Fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. 620 Bobby Lee tickets, homeroom. You're getting those on the fun fact flashback breaking Benjamin and Chevelle tickets at around 7:20. And then you know what we'll be doing at 7:20? We'll be jumping around as you call in for those tickets. Then I want to play that new Muse song that Jeremy World premiered yesterday. Dad to Be Jeremy premiered that at noon. We'll have Muse for you at around 7:30. I haven't heard the track yet so we'll listen together at. After we give away those tickets and we jump around. More beer in the eight. Mr. Skin will be on with us at around 8:20. He's got his anatomy awards. Of course we just had the Academy Awards. Mr. Skin's got his anatomy awards. He'll talk about the best nude scenes in all the movies from the past year eve. Six Fastball tickets sprinkled in there. And that new song, return to dust in the 8 o' clock hour at around 8:20 or so. Maybe before we talk to Mr. Skin, we'll get that song in there. That's the one we debuted for you yesterday. Open phones Friday, the last hour of the show. That's going to keep us pretty busy. We got Sunny skies today, 20% chance of rain, high of 85. Pretty good looking weekend. It looks like we're going to stay shy of 90 degrees, but still like 86, 87 Saturday and Sunday. What up? Good morning, Mo. What you got for Houston's headlines?
D
Good morning. It's a foggy first day of spring, but it's happy to be here yesterday. Top Republicans and Democrats met face to face yesterday for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security shut down. That's like 33 days ago. So they met at the Capitol with the White House border czar. Serious but unresolved talks. I know you're shocked. The Senate Majority Leader has threatened to cancel their upcoming two week Easter recess unless a deal is reached.
A
Why?
D
Well, we know that more than 60,000 TSA officers missed their first paycheck this week. Absences in TSA have more than doubled and hundreds of agents have quit. The delays at the airports across the country are insane. NASA currently rolling out their repaired Artemis 2 moon rocket. You'll see it on the news today because it is slowly, very slowly crawling back to the launch pad at Kennedy Space center for an April 1 launch attempt. It takes 12 hours to roll 4 miles, but it started last night. The astronauts are currently quarantining here in Houston before their nine day trip around the moon, which will be the first crude lunar flight since 1972. It's already been delayed twice, but we're ready to get this going. Is the United States the happiest country in the world?
A
Probably not. I think we're probably up there, but we're not number one. I don't think we're ever number one.
E
No, we are not.
B
Right?
D
We're the greatest. I obviously believe that. But this new study revealed how happy people really are here. So they look at 147 different countries and they search, survey the people that live there. The US came in 23rd.
A
Aren't they like super happy in Switzerland?
D
Finland is number one.
A
Finland, okay.
D
Yes. Switzerland up there for the ninth year in a row though, Finland came in first, which I think is an interesting statistic. I don't know anything about Finland.
E
They lost the 1980 gold medal to us in hockey.
A
Oh, good call on that.
D
You know that least happy. What would you go? Afghanistan. You're right.
A
Iran, maybe North Korea.
D
All of these things.
A
Well, North Korea, they have to.
E
They're happy.
A
They have to say they're happy.
D
But Afghanistan came in last. The new season of the Bachelorette has been canceled. Big news yesterday, ABC pulled the plug on the new season. It was set to premiere on Sunday. They did so after video surfaced of the star assaulting her then boyfriend back in 2023.
A
This video's been around for a while. 2023 and they still rolled her out. And they said, they said they're putting out a show. Damage control.
E
I feel like this week they had her on the like car wash of all the shows.
A
Yep. She was on the Good Morning America. If, if this was a guy, he would have. They would have never signed him to the, to the deal even.
D
The video is horrible. Oh, the incident in the video, Terrible. Her Taylor being arrested. She ended up pleading guilty to a third degree felony of aggravated assault that would have been reduced to a misdemeanor if she successfully completed her terms of probation, which was coming up. TMZ posted the video. Taylor's reps claim it omits context. It has been edited to emit.
A
Really throwing a metal chair at the dude when the kid sits there. Yep.
D
And her other show, the Secret Live of Mormon Wives, is also in limbo due to her behavior. All right, y' all remember when Metallica played NRG and they were doing tons of cool things around the city. One of those things was a blood drive with the American Red Cross. They just announced the year long collab produced more than 25,000 donations across the United States and even more worldwide. They did it at each of their tour stops. One of the best parts, 20% of the blood donors were first timers. Half of the blood donors were between the ages of 16 and 24. Thank you for coming out. Those are Houston's headlines.
E
Take it, Alex. First round of the NCAA tournament started yesterday. Some highlights from the first day of action include high point upsetting Wisconsin, UT topping BYU, A&M taking care of St. Mary's and then U of H blew out Idaho last night to wrap things up. They're going to play the rest of the first round games today. Some notable games on today's slate, it'll all start at 11:15 when Kentucky plays Santa Clara, the only Texas related game. I guess Prairie View A and M does play later. Today, but at 11:40, Texas Tech is going to take on Akron. And then wrapping up the the games tonight will be Miami against Missouri at 9:10 in the NBA, the Rockets are going to be back in action tonight. Oh, boy. They're going to probably lose, but they're going to host the house at Toyota Center. Some reason they're three and a half point favorites. Tip off is at seven. You can listen to the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790, but
A
you might not want to.
E
That is what's going on in sports.
A
All right, here we go. Four hours of pain starts right now. It is Free Beer Friday. Our first caller will be our first beer winner. Let's go. You want beer? Come get it. The most interactive show on the radio. Boy, we'll prove that to you today for sure. Come on. Free Beer Friday. You got the free bear Friday. You got the free bear Friday.

A
You're right. They hear him talk. They're like, you're Robbie.
E

A
You're the color tan guy. If you've ever seen Robbie out, he wears, I don't know what you call it.
D
Coveralls.
A
Thank you. Coveralls. I was going to call it a man onesie that also works.
D
A work onesie.
A
A work onesie. Coming from somebody. Coming from somebody that doesn't really work in the for a living. Stand here in this room with these little coveralls. Hands. Okay. They're coveralls.
E
Yes.
A
I should have known that.
D
It's okay.
A
He brought me a pair of coveralls because I always tell him how much I admire he looks so comfortable when he's out. He brought me and he got my name embroidered on it. I'm gonna wear custom.
D
Yeah, he had, like, a patch made
A
that says yeah, yeah. And it's the one from where he works.
D
That's so cool.
A
And he got me one.
D
And a real honor. You don't deserve this.
A
No, I don't. And it was so awesome. I can't wait to wear it. He looks so comfortable when he's out. And I always like, dude, you look so comfortable. He's like, I'll get you one. I'll get you one. Don't worry, I'll get you one. And then he brought me one and had my name embroidered. Really awesome. So unbelievable. All right, shout out to Robbie.
E
Love that guy.
D
Thanks, Robbie.
A
True story. That was at the. Where were we? It was at a gumbo cook off maybe, or one of the last cook offs I did with Gunner and crew. And I'm talking to a gal at the tent and she's telling me about her gumbo. Robbie comes rolling up. The girl drops me. In two seconds, you're Robbie. Oh, my God. Like, it's not.
E
Yeah, dude.
A
Immediately, it's not cool to talk to Rod Ryan anymore. You're the caller TN guy. And then boom. Immediately all our attention is on him. And I'm like, I was just talking to you about your gumbo. Remember me, the guy, the name of the show? Nothing. Nothing. Let me take a short break. Yeah. When we. When we come back, got a rec check for you. We'll find out what's trending and then we'll get set up for our fresh out of bed, where we got big bad Brad back in the driver's seat. Houston's rock, Houston's alternative and home of
D
the Rod ryan Morning show. 94. 5 the buzz.
A
94. 5 the buzz.
B
Yeah.
A
Jelly roll on the music blog page today talking about his journey. Which one? I don't know. Just his journey. I. I could probably his weight loss journey right now. He's big on talking about that. And his wife, Bunny xo, the one that really matters. Facelift this week.
D
Yeah, she got all of her filler dissolved and then readjusted some things.
E
So brave.
A
She's been on the looking at girls blog page a this week. Golly. When you see them post surgery and their faces. Yeah, her head looks like a beach ball. You can't even imagine it going back to normal. But I guess those doctors know what they're doing. Sunny skies today. 20% chance of rain, high of 85. Now for the weekend, nothing over a 20% chance of rain for Saturday and Sunday. Partly cloudy skies, high of 86. Beautiful weekend. Let's do trending first, Alex.
E
All right. March Madness trending.
A
Sure.
E
A bunch of madness went down yesterday.
A
Your brackets, busted. Perfect.
E
But they're not too bad yet.
A
Okay.
E
It will be eventually. Taylor. Frankie Paul is trending. ABC pulled her upcoming season of the Bachelorette after leaked video of her assaulting her ex boyfriend was put out even though it had already been out. And then Pearl harbor is trending.
D
Why?
E
Donald Trump made a Pearl harbor joke.
A
Oh gosh, he did.
E
By the Japanese media yesterday. I believe they asked something along the lines of why didn't you let your allies know before the whole Iran thing? And he was like, why didn't you let us know about Pearl Harbor?
A
Who's better at surprises?
E
Yeah.
A
And you've got like the, whoever the high up in from Japan is sitting right next to him.
E
Yeah, it's just kind of.
A
He went off script here. She can't laugh at that. No, she just sat there and like it was such a cringe worthy moment.
E
Hell of a moment for sure. But that is what's trending on 95 Buzz.
A
Good morning everybody.
B
It's the return of Big Bad Brad. This five time hall of famer is

They want days off of work where they can go out and touch the grass. They're like, hey Rod, I've heard you. You say to go out and touch grass. No, they want them during the week. They want green days. Okay, that's the thing. That's a tick tock thing right now.

We have Bobby Lee tickets on the line. Comedian gonna be at 713musical on May 17th and you can win them. It's another flashback, all right.
A
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. Happy first day of spring, everybody. Captain cash, Happy first day of spring. Thank you.
B
Back at you.
A
Make sure you're lotioning up that dome
D
dry.
A
Give me sunny. It's gonna be sunny out there today. Yeah, sunny today. Cover it up. Partly cloudy all weekend. Oh, yeah, he's a good job. He does a good job of covering. That big baldy over there covers it up. Hey, fun fact for you today. The word spring, they think it dates back to about the 14th century. Probably originated from the phrase springing time. Please, no follow up questions. I don't know anymore. I don't have anything more on that. Just there was a phrase called springing time. Make something up. Now here's something I know a little something about. In the u. S. Alone, there are 25 different flavors of pringles. Have you been down the aisle lately?
D
It's impressive.
A
Smoky bacon. There's everything. Bagel, dill, pickle, pizza, pringles. Now some weird ones. Awesome. Finally. Believe it or not, there are two us States. States where it's legal to own a part of the ocean. That's neat. Hear me out. Specifically, the beach below the high tide line. Private citizens in Massachusetts and Maine can own land all the way to the low tide line so they can block the public from boating and being in the water. So not only can you own a piece of beach, but you can go into the water and that. That's still part of what you own. That sounds like a Karen situation. Hey. Where you're boom, booming in the water. I own that water right there. Get out.
G
It's the fun fact of the day.
A
We make you look smart in front of your buddies. It's the fun fact of the day. Hell, Al, it's just a strange. Strange what?
B
Little law.
E
Yeah.
A
Two. Only two states allow that. Okay, so Bobby Lee tickets.
D
Bobby Lee tickets. May 17, 713 Music Hall. What's your question?
A
It's your fun fact. What don't birds do?
D
That's what your daughter heard yesterday. Yeah, that's a good one for her to learn.
A
What don't birds do?
D
I was yesterday years old when I learned that.
A

How'd we do yesterday? Well, it's pretty predictable right now. The dow is down 203 points. Kickoff this morning at 46,021. Nasdaq lost 61 to 22,090. Benchmark 10 year treasury trading at a 4.29%. And oil stands at $95.39 a barrel. To the most actives, the big studs, Chevron, Cisco and Goldman Sachs. The big Duds, Boeing, Mickey D's and 3M. The economic calendar this morning.

D
Hey there. So top Republicans and Democrats met face to face yesterday for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security shut down. That began 33 days ago. So they met at the Capitol. The White House border czar was there. Serious but unresolved talks is what I'm hearing. It's getting so serious that the Senate Majority Leader has threatened to cancel the upcoming two week Easter recess unless they reach a deal.
E
Yeah, cancel Easter.
A
No, cancel their recess. I know, but I mean, basically canceling
E
Easter for all of them.
A
But is that the only way we're going to get something done? Motivate them chuckleheads that, hey, you're, that
E
should be how every single thing is done. Your job is to get to the bottom of this and to figure these things out. You shouldn't get to just leave and be like, that's our session.
A
The other thing I saw or heard was, you know, if you're in Congress, you get some kind of a special treatment at the airport. They have to stand in the regular lines now. So if you go to the airport and if it's a two hour wait, you can see Ted Cruz or, or the other side, you can see somebody standing in line. They don't, they don't get the fast
E
track back cruise might be going to Mexico. You can catch it.
D
It is the first day of spring, technically at 9:46am is when the spring equinox. Equinox actually happens. Things started out a little foggy this morning in parts of the area. Today's gonna feel more like summer than spring though. Sunny, warm, and that's gonna continue. We like the mild mornings, we like the warmer afternoons. That's gonna be our weekend. And our record for this time of year, upper 80s, near 90. And it's looking like we're gonna get really, really close to there. Do you remember just a couple days ago we had freezing temperatures the one
A
day that we were out in the morning and broadcasted live? Yes, it was freezing.
D
I was wearing a coat, a winter shirt.
A
It was 35.
D
That's true.
A
It was 35.
D
Rob, do you have a defibrillator over there? Because what I'm about to say is below Alex's brain.
A
What do you got?
D
Tinder. The dating app?
A
Yeah. Why are you playing Terminator? What are you doing?
D
They're rolling out a new AI feature called Camera Roll Scan. So it asks for permission to access your full photo library. Then it uses AI to analyze your images, and they generate photo insights to boost your profile.
A
Listen, they're already. And they're already getting in on everything on your phone. They're basically asking permission to. Hey, you want to show me what I've been digging around on your. You know. You want me to show you how I dig it around and everything in your phone? Yeah, that's all it is.
D
Yeah.
A
I don't think this is anything really new.
D
Well, the fact that they're publicizing and they're going to give you a summary. They're going to tell you what your person based on your pictures, whether they. What they know about your personality, your interests, your lifestyle, and then also suggest to you how you could attract a match.
A
So they're gonna write the script for you.
E
Have you tried changing everything about your personality?
D
What you think you want is not actually what you want is what I'm gonna tell you.
A
You're gonna meet this person that put no effort at all, that's the whole thing, into their, you know, your dating profile. You know, you should be picking your picture and you should be writing about yourself. And now this is gonna be all done for you.
D
Yeah.
A
You're gonna have two absolute nothings. You're gonna have two zeros. Meeting up at a bar, which they probably won't even go to a bar. What do you do now? You go for coffee in the middle of the day. You can have two zeros and sit down and look at each other and not know how to talk.
E
That's kind of exactly what it is.
A
Yes. Boy, you sounded so much better on your profile.
D
I kind of want to know what AI thinks about me.
A
Do you?
E
Yeah, but it's like you start doing that, and it's like people already use all. Like, AI to do all of their emails. They use AI to do all their scheduling. They use AI you're not thinking at all through the day if you're using it for everything. And then like, to find a partner. You can't work a little bit.
A
Weirdo.
D
You have any dad jokes ready? Because this next story requires them.
A
Okay.
D
Chuck Norris was rushed to the hospital oh, no. I know. It was big news yesterday broke. He had some sort of medical emergency. He was in Hawaii as of yesterday. He was said to be in good spirits, but the guy just turned 86 years old.
A
Old.
D
He was training on an island in Hawaii on Wednesday. No word of what sort of emergency he had and if it had anything to do with the training that he was doing. But the pictures and videos of him training, he looked great. He's Chuck Norris.
A
So Chuck Norris goes to the hospital and everybody leaves that day cured. Right. That's probably what he's doing.
D
He's like.
E
There were just a lot of Make a Wish kids there and he's just making their day.
A
Yeah. The whole place emptied out. Chuck Norris walked in and everybody was fixed.
D
We're hoping for the best for him. I'm sure he's gonna be fine. It has been a minute actually, since 2022, but Muse is back with new music. We get to play the new song at 7:30 this morning.

A
How'd they do it?
D
Do 6-22-6. And they did it by sending a screen to space?
A
Yeah. They're kind of spacey.
D
Are they?
A
Yeah.
E
They sent a screen like on a rocket ship.
D
Yeah. They partner with a company called Scent into space to launch a tablet into the atmosphere to premiere the video for the lead single in space.
E
Oh, like an iPad.
A
Nobody saw it. It was.
E
I thought they meant like a Jumbotron. They just shot into space.
A
That's cool. No, they did.
E
IPad's still pretty cool, but not as they're interesting people.
D
Those are Houston's headlines.
A
Well, I hope it kicks in. I have not heard it yet.
D
Really?
A
Probably won't. It has to.
D
It's spacey. It's supposed to be spacey.
A
I hope it kicks in.
D
Exclamation point.
B
All right.
A
Wow. Please join us at 7:30. What you got?

B
I'm. I'm listening on the radio.
A
There you go. On the old school radio.
F
Okay.
A
Just wondering. People are trying to time out curious. Mo's been kind of curious as to like if people win. How many people are winning by listening to the app? There's still plenty of you winning on the app. But Kelly, on the radio. Congratulations, dude. Have a great weekend. Thanks.
B
Thanks, Ron. Man, I wish I could have made it out to the. The Safe Patty's Day party to party with you guys. But maybe. Maybe next time.
A
You know what?
D
We missed you.
A
I want there. I want there to be a next time. But I'm just gonna say this. I don't want to wait until next year. I. I told you guys, even while we were doing the broadcast, I looked over at Alex and I said, dude, I got bit by the bug.
B
Man.
A
I like this. I said it during the broadcast. This is so much fun broadcasting live with everybody here hanging out. Maybe we gotta create something. I don't know. Come up.
B
Oh, I saw all the Pictures. It look. Look like the blacks.
A
Oh, it was so much fun. All right, Kelly. Thank you, man. Have a great weekend.
E
All right.
A
I don't have a whole lot of time. Put Kelly on hold. Mo, you had a funny laugh today. Yeah, I stole something.
D
Some people don't like it.
A
I stole something from. Oh, who doesn't like your laugh? That's all I hear. That's all I heard when I was walking with you at the rodeo. They're like, oh, my God. Most laugh, it's the best. When big Bad Brad was doing his speech, and I heard it, and it went off because nobody else was talking. Yeah, it went off like alarms.
D
He was talking about how his wife won't sleep with him while he. He's deep in playing the fresh out of bed head to head challenge.
B
Yeah.
A
As he puts it, his old lady cuts him off. And then you obviously thought that was funny.
D
Now I'm tickled by it.
A
That's gonna pair. That's gonna pair beautifully with this because you pulled up a story and you. You were talking about AI.
D
Yeah.
A
And how it's going to be assisting people even more than it probably already is with dating profiles. And Tinder is being very transparent about it, saying that you could actually choose a feature that AI will go in in, and they'll kind of help you out. They'll go through your pictures and they'll create your. Your story based on what they see on you. And then you said something like, well, I. I'm wondering what AI thinks of me.
D
Yes.
A
You said that.
D
Most definitely.
A
I asked AI about me. I asked AI what they thought of you.
D
Okay, what'd they say?
A
You ready?
D
Yes. What did you type in?
A
Don't worry about it.
D
Oh, wow.
B
Don't worry.
D
He just put in the laugh based off of this.
A
Mo doesn't run on coffee. She runs on chaos and bad decisions.
D
Bad decisions.
A
Whatever. That's what AI just told me.
D
You must have got the wrong Mo.
A
Mo's spirit animal is a raccoon. Loud, unpredictable, and always digging through something that she shouldn't. I cannot.
D
This is so dumb.
A
Mo says, quote, I've got this right before. Absolutely not having it. Mo doesn't stir the pot. She flips the whole damn stove.
D
This is so wrong.
A
Mo brings. This is AI. I don't write this stuff.
D
This is wrong, Alex.
A
I'm not writing. I'm not writing this. She said she was curious what AI thought of her. Her. Mo's filter isn't broken. It never came installed.
D
That actually is true.
A
Mo brings the Energy of a Red Bull that's been open since yesterday.
D
Good or bad?
E
Get better.
D
Does it expire?
A
It's not wine. If sarcasm paid the bills, Mo would own this radio station.
D
About that. That.
A
All right. I'm just. Mo's brain has 47 tabs open.
D
You should see my computer right now.
A
That's what AI okay. I just put in there Mo, my co host. What do you think, AI? That's what he spit out. Or she. Or they. Them. They. Them. I don't know.
D
See?
G
It knows so much.
A
Yeah.
D
You're going to keep that forever.
B
Oh, my God.
D
What's the other one that in my gun? Noise. Noise.
A
Yes.
D
You have In a hotkey somewhere.
A
Gun somewhere. But this is my new favorite. All right.
D
I can't breathe.
A
AI seems to know you pretty well. It does not. Coming up, Breaking Benjamin Chevelle tickets. We're gonna jump around a little bit. Then we're gonna play that new Muse song. I got a lot.

A
Music sold 30 million albums. They're big.
D
Yeah.
A
What'd you think of the song?
D
It's not for me. They didn't, they weren't trying to make that for me.
A
No.
D
No. I'm too happy.
A
What about you? Yeah, that sucked. The song, it was just like I,
D
it, it's for someone the whole time
A
and the song doesn't really go anywhere. And then we try and rip off a cold plate.
D
I felt Coldplay tried to rip off
E
the, like, fix you breakdown at the very end, and it just was, like, tight.
A
Dude, you're. No, the song was. The song was on for about 30 seconds, and then Chili went, hey, man, song sucks, dude. You guys are brutal this morning. Not for you, Chili, bro, let me tell you. Where do I start? I just got done talking about how much you love Chevelle, and everybody knows you love pod, and you're over there and you're. You're rocking out. First of all, we know this ain't for you. Whoever produced this song needs to be slapped.
D
And, oh, wow.
A
Beat to hell. That sounded like he was offbeat. Him singing was offbeat. It sounded like somebody was learn. Trying to learn how to make, like, dance trans music. You guys are lucky. And it was just like,
E
exactly like that.
A
You guys are lucky. We live. We live in the world. I. I was around when these radio stations, this one and these other alternative stations first went on the air. If you didn't say that you loved everything.
D
Right.
A
That we were doing. Doing.
D
I remember.
A
I remember being just slightly critical of something on the air, and the boss is like, dude, what are you doing? Yeah, what are you doing? What are you doing? I'm like, I was just giving my.
E
Ask our opinion.
A
I was giving my opinion. I heart. Can I have my last three minutes back? All right, maybe we're off base. We should just run. Jump around again. Chili is clearly off base. Matt, good morning.
B
Morning, Roz.
A
What'd you think of that new Muse song?
B
Well, I was gonna make some comments about it, but instead I'll be polite and just ask you not to play that on the radio again.
A
Wait, wait, you're going to ask me not to play that on the radio again?
B
Yes, sir. Please don't do that. I'm with Chili. Can I get that three minutes back? Wow, I need a rebate.
A
Thank you, Matt. I appreciate you calling. Appreciate your honesty. Neil, good morning.
B
Well, good morning, Rod. This is the. Well, I did. That's a hell no for me. No, sir. This segment, it sounded like freaking church music in the beginning, and it only got worse after that.
D
Oh, the organ.
A
All right, let's get a check on here. Anna, good morning. Good morning. Come on, talk to me about Muse. I think girls like Muse, right?
F
I. Yes. I've been a huge Muse fan for years, and that was very on brand for them. Yeah, it reminds me a lot of their early years.
D
So that's good to hear from you.
A
It sounded music to me.
D
Right.
A
So music is not for me.
D
It was not for. That's the first thing I said.
A
This was not for me, not for Muse. But it sounded musy. And if you like Muse. So that's what I think. Like, I need to hear from people that like music.
D
So where he pumped me the new. The new release.
A
I should have asked those other guys.
F
I am.
D
She's pumped. Right.
F
I'm excited.
A
I am. Well, one of the reasons why I
B
like me is it's not just.
F
It's. It's his voice, but also, they always
D
have a concept album.
A
Yeah.
F
And so I'm excited to see what
A
this concept is going to be about. Yeah. You got to put a little thought into it a little bit. Okay. Not like Oscar over here. Good morning, Oscar.
B
How you doing, Rod?
A
I don't know. I don't know, dude.
D
It was for her, not for us.
A
What about you, Oscar? Yeah, well, look, I don't know how
B
I feel neither, man, because me and
A
my wife, we really love Muse, and Madness is, like, one of our favorite songs. But so I thought, you know, as it was leading up, I kept waiting for it to take off and, you know, like, a big note and like you said, it was.
B
He was all over the place.
A
He sounded off pitch. I didn't. I'm sorry. I didn't like it. And you. Do you call yourself a fan? Like, you like Muse? I do. Okay. I do. I'm not hating, Rod. I'm not hating.
B
Right.
A
I do like museum views. I think the guy's got a beautiful voice, but he didn't, like, showcase it at all in that song. It was like. It was almost like. It was like anxiety was building up inside me waiting for him to, you
B
know, do something big.
A
And it never came. It was kind of just like Chili said earlier. It was just kind of in. In Alex. It was just steady, and it was just like. It sounded like he was off pitch. It didn't sound like he was comfortable. It sounded like they rushed, that something happened. I don't know. Interesting. I really appreciate the call, Oscar. I'll take one more. Is it Danielle or Daniel? Danielle. Danielle. All right, here we go. Chicks love Muse. Go ahead. Let's hear it. I, I. Oh, you're breaking up. Horrible. Wait, wait, you're. You're breaking up? I thought I heard the word horrible. Is that true? Yes, it. It was horrible. Thank you. Wow. Damn. Do you normally like Muse? Yes. Wow.
D
Okay.
A
Okay. You're awesome. Thank you. Listen, this is why I love you guys. I really do. There's no filter on any of you. If you know, if, if I want to pick up the phone and get my teeth kicked in, it's always one phone call away. Here we are. And I love you for it. Thank you. All right, well, radio wizard, he's, he's listening and notes.
E
Maybe don't send these off to the records.
A
Yeah, I'll send these emails over to him as well.

5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. The All American Rejects gives you hell. Coming up on the halfway point of the show. That means another case of beer. Boy, I got to pack a lot of things into this hour. Beer Eve 6 fastball tickets. Fastball. We heard them on the air yesterday. That was the winner of your Throwback Thursday by. Ooh, by jeez, tenth of a point. I've got Mr. Skin. We're going to talk to him about the anatomy awards. Always good having Mr. Skin on the show. He'll be on briefly with us at around 8:20, probably a little after 8:20, because I want to play that song, return to Dust. That was the rock song. I mean the rock song that I played for you yesterday. The band has returned to dust and it's got Slash's kid on drums and we are getting a second spin on it. Got a pretty good review yesterday. A little bit better than the reviews of the Muse song. I thank you, thank you for sending the emails. Not everybody hated it. And I sent all those emails over to the Radio Wizard. I'm sure he's sorting through all those right now. Good. Using a graph here, she's probably putting them on a spreadsheet. Sunny skies today, 20% chance of rain, high of 85. There's mo. Hi. What do you got for Houston's headlines?
D
Good morning, Rod.
A
Good morning.
D
Top Republicans and Democrats met face to face yesterday for the first time since the Department of Homeland security shutdown began 33 days ago. So they meet at the Capitol. They got the White House. Borders are there. It was serious. But the talks were unresolved.
A
Well, if it was serious, why are you laughing?
D
Great, great question. The Senate Majority leader threatened to cancel their upcoming two week Easter recess unless they reach a deal.
A
All right.
D
Airports are a mess. We got 60,000 TSA officers that missed their first full paycheck this week. We got to figure this out.
A
Yeah, that sucks. People expected to show up to work and not get paid. That, that can't sit right with anybody.
D
NASA currently rolling out their repaired Artemis to moon rocket. It's slowly crawling back to the launch pad at Kennedy space Center for an April 1 launch attempt. It's already been delayed twice, so everyone's ready to get it going. The astronauts currently quarantining here in Houston. Houston. They are expected to make a nine day trip around the moon which will be the first crude lunar flight since 1972. So it's a big deal. Is the u. S. The happiest country in the world? Except for debate, it's the greatest country in the world.
A
I say that hobby.
D
But a new study just revealed how happy people are here. They looked at 147 different countries. They surveyed the people u. S came in 2023.
A
Did they talk? I mean, is it just asking people if they're happy where they live?
D
Just a bunch of different factors about your happiness levels.
A
Okay.
D
Finland came in first for the ninth year in a row. That says something about Finland. I don't know anything about Finland.
A
Was this done before we won the gold in hockey?
D
Yes.
A
Okay. Because after the golden hockey. Come on.
D
Elevated your happiness level.
A
I think so. I think it really did fair.
D
The Olympics in general definitely elevate our pride. Afghanistan came in last when it came to the happiest countries in the world.
A
You think that's fine?
D
New season of the bachelorette has been cancelled. ABC pulled the plug on the new season set to premiere on Sunday after a video surfaced of the star Taylor assaulting her boyfriend back in 2023. The video shows shows Taylor viciously attacking her ex, throwing chairs, metal chairs at him, her five year old daughter in the room. That incident in the video led to her being arrested. She ended up pleading guilty. She got a third degree felony charge of aggravated assault which was set to be downgraded, reduced to a misdemeanor soon because she was agreeing to completing all the terms of her probation.
A
ABC is so humble, hungry for ratings.
D
Yes.
A
Somebody must have seen this video. You said it's from 2023. It's been out there.
D
They have definitely seen the video and
A
they still thought they were going to pull off a show with her. And they've already done the show. It's in the can.
D
Yes.
A
They've already spent all the money and now because TMZ posted the video, they're like, oh, now we're not going to do the show. You knew she was a bad person. You knew she was awful.
D
Correct.
A
And you just ran her through. Through, as Alex calls the car wash. Good morning america. The, the, the husband and wife afterwards, Kelly and Mark. She. You just did all of that to promote this show of this horrible person. But now you got caught because, oh, the video's out there. Now we're going to scrap it.
D
Her reps claiming it omits context.
A
That makes you a horrible person that wanted to get this show on the air.
D
She has another show, Secret Lives of Mormon Wise, also in limited limbo due to the release.
A
Yeah, but that one's not owned by Disney. The bachelor show franchise, which is also a Disney. Oh, that is Disney.
D
So they're all in bed together.
A
Okay. I don't know. I just. If. If it was the other way around and there was a guy slapping around a girl. Huh. It'd be like watching the P. Diddy Cassie video and then putting them on a bachelor show. Yeah, that's what it looked like to me.
D
Yes.
A
Off people. Go ahead. I'm sorry.
D
It's okay. We only saw one side. Y' all remember when Metallica played NRG and they were doing like all the cool things around the city and we were like, oh my gosh, that's so cool of them. They do that at every tour stop.
A
Yeah. They've got like a foundation set up. They do all kinds of blood drives, everything.
D
Blood drive is what I'm talking about. They paired up with the American Red Cross just announced that that whole year long collab produced more than 25,000 donations across the U.S. the U.S. more worldwide.
A
And they couldn't handle all the people here in Houston. They had to show up for the blood drive.
D
Yes. They kept it.
A
They said, stop telling people to come. We can't. I mean, we've got all the blood we can handle. Yeah.
D
Red Cross is honoring Metallica as a visionary partner of the year. One of my favorite parts though of this new study that we're seeing that came out after all of this is done. Almost 20 of the blood donors in this Metallica blood drive were first timers.
A
That's cool.
D
And half of the donors were between the age of ages of 16 to 24, which doesn't seem like a Metallica demographic, but it's really freaking cool. Right?
A
Wasn't there a T shirt associated with that?
D
It was. You got a T shirt.
A
People will do stuff for a T shirt. Like the first time blood donors. It's amazing. Still the power of a T shirt.
D
Awesome.
A
Hardcore 100. Ever heard of it?
F
Really cool.
D
Those are Houston headlines.
A
Go ahead, Alex.

D
Yeah. In the attic.
A
They come down a different person.
D
It's insane.
A
It's like when Moses went up and the tablets were created, and then Moses comes down and his hair's gray. He looks like a totally different person. My H Vac guy goes up, and then he just comes down, and I don't recognize Him. Okay. It's just soaking wet. I don't know how many. I don't know how many changes of clothes you guys go through during the summer.
B

Sunny and 85 today, and then we got partly cloudy for Saturday and Sunday high of about 86 with, you know, each day is about a 20 chance of rain. It's pretty good. I'm gonna finally get onto the rodeo.
D
When are you going?
A
We're gonna go Sunday morning.
D
That'll be awesome.
A
It's the last day, and there's no show that night, no rodeo. I just gotta take my kid to the carnival and then. Is there rabbits and stuff still there?
D
Yes.
A
All right. Like, she's got to see a couple of rabbits.
D
The chicken.
E
Sell all the stuff the last day, or do they sell it throughout the rodeo?
D
The livestock? Yeah, throughout the.
B
Okay.
A
Like, is there going to be auctions? Is the turquoise person going to be there?
D
She'll be there. You need a bolo tie. I got a lady.
E
Oh, yeah, Look.
A
Do they. Do they do deep discounts on Sunday?
D
Like, some of them that want to clear out their stuff and not.
A
They want to not want to take it home. Okay.
D
Pack it up.
A
All right. I might be, like, all turquoised out on Monday.
D
I can't wait to see what you come up with.
A
Like a brownstone cowboy. All right, we got a busy hour. I don't have time to sing you songs. Okay. Lucky you on the flip of this break. Got a wreck check. We'll find out what's trending. I want to play you that new Return to Dust band, that new song that we played yesterday. And they. They're not pushing that. It slashes kid on drums. Am I the only one that finds that interesting?
D
I'm very interested in it, but they
A
don't want to push it. Like, hey, this is the reason you should play it. Like, I'm sure Slash has nothing to do with it. I'm sure he's over.
E
He made a son.
A
But these kids are. These kids are out there. They're working their asses off, man. They're out on the road with a bunch of different bands. So return to dust. I'm gonna play that new song and then we're gonna talk to Mr. Skin about his anatomy. Awards. Busy, busy, busy. Rock and alternative for Houston.

Oh, 94. Five the Buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show some more new music for you. And then we're gonna talk to my buddy Mr. Skin, who as long as I've been doing morning radio, which is a long time, he's been doing his Mr. Skin website. Mr. Skin.com. so I think I started talking to him. I started talking to him in 2000 mo. 26. 26 years ago.
B
Yeah.
D
You guys go way back.
B
Yeah.
A
And one person has a big, huge, massive house and the other one's me. We went different paths. He is so loaded. All right, before we do all of that, because I got that new song first from that new rock band. I got Alex over here. What you got? What's trending?
E
It's a trending pretty much the last two days, but the NCAA tournament is trending.
A
Of course.
E
The men's first round will wrap up today and the women are getting, getting their. Their tournament started. So people are talking about their brackets being busted. If you want to just fit in
A

E
The water cooler, it's gonna be hit.
A
Yeah. There's never been a perfect bracket. So everyone's brackets will be busted at some point.
E
Yeah, every, every single one. Happy Spring is trending because today is the first, first day of spring. So how are you celebrating today, Rod?

A
This is my hell.
E
I got my car washed earlier this week and then was like, damn it. As I was pulling back into where I live.
A
Oh no. I went and got my car washed yesterday just cuz I knew we weren't going to have to deal with rain. And already in one day I saw yellow crud on there.

D
You can't tell if I'm really laughing or if you're just playing a laugh track.
A
That's you really laughing. That's not.
D
Love that.
A
The name of the band is Return. Now, I had nothing to do with that Muse business that was on earlier today. That was trash. Well, that was a corporate cram down, though. It's like, hey, it's Muse. We're going to do a. We're going to get iheart stations all together. This is. This is really rogue. Okay? This is rogue. This is something that I think should be on this radio station. It's some younger guys. The name of the band is Return to Dust. I played it yesterday. It got a really good review. Not everybody liked it, but, boy, a lot of people did. The name of the song is Bored. Take a listen and then Mr. Skin awaits. On the flip side of this, it's 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz, guys. That excites me. That gets me going. Chili just gave it the stamp of approval. He said, oh, Rod, I really, really like this song. I'm like, I. I'm Chili Rocks. So I knew he was gonna like. Like that. The. The name of the band is Return to Dust. I'm doing everything I can to get this thing into regular rotation here on this radio station. That's how you still know that I like what I do for a living. I still get excited about this stuff. All right. The song is called Board. You like it more, you like it less. You still the same on it. Where you at?
D
I love how jacked up y' all get about it.
A
Yes. Yes. Oh, I love that for you.
D
You told me not to say that anymore.
A
I. That is such.
D
You find that degree rating. I find that positive.
A
I. You love that for you.
D
When you get jacked up about that song, I'm like, yeah, play it for rotten Chili Daddy.
E
She hates you.
D
It's not true.
A
Play this. Okay.
D
Y' all are used to mean people. I'm a nice person.
A
You. You like it better Same. I like it better each.
E
Each. Listen, it's. I didn't find it just. It fits the station so, so perfect.
A
I didn't get the Oasis references so much when people were calling that they. They.
E
But the very beginning, the.
A
The. The vocals, Maybe. And I'm still getting the. I'm still getting those Alice in Chains harmonies and stuff. It's really, really good. I don't know if you got. If you want to pass along an email or two, I. I would really reinforce what I already sent to Radio wizard yesterday. He knows you guys like it, and you guys were loud and clear on that new Muse song earlier today. Ouch.
D
Ouch.
A
Not everybody hated it. Not everybody, really? No, no. There was some music bands that said, this is if. They said, if you like Muse, you'll like this song. I said, well, we heard from a guy that likes Muse and said he didn't like it. All right, we're gonna do a little backstory, which would be good. You've not met Mr. Skin before?
D
No, never.
A
I've been talking to him since the year 2000 is when I went on to do morning radio.
D
What was I doing in 2000?
A
What were you doing in 2000? Mo.
D
I was in middle school.
A
Okay. So before. Before he was Mr. Skin, he's like this little horny guy watching HBO. And two things had come together. And because we're. I think we're about the same age.
D
Okay.
A
Cable television and the VCR kind of came along at the same time.
F
Okay.
A
And he started recording things and then just.
D
On the vcr.
A
Yeah. And then he was recording movies, and he just started making, like, mixtapes of all the nude scenes. And then he became this savant, and he could tell you any movie action actress at what part of the movie that she gets naked. He. I'm telling you, he's a wonderman.
B
He.
A
He's like A Beautiful mind.
D
Yeah.
B
Mr.
A
Skin, welcome back to the show.
B
Hey, Rod, thanks for having me, man. Appreciate it. Always great to talk to you.
A
We've been talking a long, long time. A long time.
D
And look at you.
B
Yeah. You know, the first year I did my anatomy awards, which I'm talking to you about today, was around Oscar time of 2000. And I crazy assume I did it with you. And I know I've at least done most, if not all of them with you through these 27 years. Pretty incredible.
A
When did. When did the movie Knocked up come out?
B
Because that 2007.
A
And that took you to another level.
B
Yeah, it was one of the great moments in. In my. In my career, because the year before, the summer before, in 2006, I got a call from a lawyer at Universal saying, hey, the guy that did 40 year old virgin has a new movie. Coming out, and he wants to use your website in the movie. Would you approve of that? And I had a bunch of people tell me, oh, you should charge money. You should make it. Get a lot of money for using your website. And I instinctively was like, no, let's just put the website in. Make no barriers. Don't make it difficult for these guys. And luckily, Mr. Skin was featured in the movie. No Knocked up, and it did 250 million at the box office. It's a huge movie. And the promotion in that, I compare it to people like, it's almost like Reese's pieces and et like, the amount of free publicity. Yeah, Mr. Skin.com got in knocked up was incredible. So it was the right decision to just say, yes, do whatever you want without even knowing that they were going to do a nice promo.
A
Seth Rogen and all these big names that we all know now, they're in this movie movie, and they're creating this website like Mr. Skin, but they don't know about him. And then so they're putting all these clips together, and they're getting all the nude scenes together for the website. And then one guy goes, oh, like Mr. Skin? No, like, what do you mean? And they look at his website. They're like, damn it, somebody's already doing this.
B
It was pretty cool. I got to go, right? I got to go to the premiere of the movie in LA in June of 2007, and I got to meet all those guys because they work. They were just becoming famous. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason. Was it Jason Siegel, Guy from Shrinking. You know, all those guys were just on the brink of being huge. They were all so nice. I took pictures with all of them. They're really cool.
A
Well, listen, it's been a. It's been an unbelievable career for you. And. And then I. I tell Mo. I go, he has skin ployes. How many people. How many people are working over there now?
B
We have. Literally, I'm not exaggerating. We have 40 employees. But I should. I should let you know, we've branched out into multiple different types of websites, but MrSkin.com is still our, you know, main revenue driver, but we have a bunch of other businesses associated with it. But, yeah, I can't believe it. When I started this and I launched the website on August 10th of 1999, I remember I was working at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and I thought to myself, man, if I could make a lit, you know, a couple grand in advertising per month for this new venture I'm trying, that would be Great. I'll keep my job. I ended up having to quit that job. And here it is, literally in my 27th year of doing this every day as a job, which in itself is a great story because, like, how many people get to do something this fun as a job for that long?
A
Right. We're talking with Mr. Skin from MrSkin.com and the Anatomy Awards. Like, he said, he's been doing it since 2000. So I've been. I was there on the grind ground floor. Now you got. You got all these people watching these things. Okay. I don't get to watch as much as I. As I used to. And I imagine you. You're chasing around, you know, wife, kids, all this stuff. You know, life gets in the way.
B
I have a team of people that goes through every movie and television show and with the Anatomy Awards, which is fun because I'll do my top 10 nude scenes of the year at the end of the year with you. Yeah, but that's just mostly mainstream films and television that you would probably know most of it, or at least you'd be familiar with the actresses. One of the cool things about the Anatomy Awards, which is for me, is it's a way for me to curate the wild and crazy stuff, not only from US movies and television, but from all over the world. So my skinternational division, some of the stuff on this list of 42 categories are obscure Spanish miniseries. But the nudity was so weird or crazy that. That we're. We're able to, like I said, curate it so people can enjoy it. And that's the fun of the Anatomy Awards. Do you do. Around Oscar time every year?
A
Do you still find stuff on your own, though? And I'm going to get very specific here. So do you have one of your. One of your minions come running in your office and say, dude, the hunting wives. You got to get on this thing immediately. Or do you.
B
By the way, one best lesbian scene of the year. Thank you very much.
A
Very nice. So did you see it and trip on that yourself? Or somebody found it.
B
Watch first run. And I'm seeing it at the exact time my team is. But I'd say at this point, because they're going through everything more often than not. I'll, you know, look at my computer in the morning, and they'll be, hey, from last night, there's this, this, and this. And I discovered nudity that way versus the old way where I had to do everything and record everything on my own, go through everything on my own. And it's A much nicer situation now, I guess.
A
But I told, I told the story of you as a coming of age young lad with the Internet, or before the Internet, but you know, with VCRs and cable television, you know, you were old school.
B
Yeah, A great convergence of technologies in the fall of 1980, where my dad got cable television. Television. So all of a sudden, instead of abc, NBC and cbs, I'm getting hbo, Showtime and Cinemax. And then I get this thing. Well, actually, it's funny, my first thing wasn't even a vhs. It was, remember Betamax? So I had a Betamax player. So I'm looking in the cable guide and like, one of the first things I see is, oh, there's this movie, Texas Lightning. It's a drive in movie from 1980.
A
80.
B
And it's this horrible movie that no one ever saw. But I saw Maureen McCormick was in it. She, if you don't know, she's Marcia from the Brady Bunch and there's a big black end for nudity. I'm like, no way is Marcia gonna be naked. And I recorded it. Lo and behold, an hour and four minutes into the movie, the next morning, I'm like, oh my God, Marcia Brady is topless. A career was born that day.
A
So, yeah, I'm today's, I'm today's year old knowing that Marcia Brady was in a movie like that. When it comes to. I'm looking at the anatomy awards here, the Lifetime Skin Achievement. Now listen, you're the guy. It's Mr. Skin. You are Mr. Skin. I know that you, you got all these employees and they're. But what. You have the final say on this sort of thing.
B
Because 100, I. I have to approve everything they recommend. A lot of it. But like, for the Lifetime Skin Achievement Award, we considered. Every year we pick one actress, a famous actress who, who's had a. You know, it's usually late in their career or they've had a great career, but they've also done amazing nudity. So every year we choose another actress to celebrate. And this year we chose Halle Berry for our lifetime Skin Cheapin award in the Anatomy Awards. And the reason is because it's the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest nude years an actress ever had. Remember the movie Swordfish where Halle Berry was sunbathing and she dropped the book and you could see her, her breasts in that scene. That was a legendary nude scene in 2001.
A
But was there a year. Wait, wait, let me.
B
Monsters ball.
A
Sure. But before Monster's Ball, I want to Stop you. The. The swordfish. Wasn't there an actual dollar figure put on her showing her boots?
B
Yeah, you're good. Good memory. Because the big rumor, and it's been discussed many times, is that she was offered on top of her salary for the movie if $500,000 to do this scene.
A
Yes.
B
He said, hell yeah, let's do it. So that's the big rumor. I can't say 100% if it's true, but that would be. I'm no math major, but that's about $250,000 a breath, so.
A
Yeah, that is. But you said that same year, Monsters Ball, I mean, that alone is hall of fame
B
3. It was an over 3 minute sex scene with the Billy Bob Thornton. And one thing to consider, why that's such a monumental nude scene. Not only was it a great nude scene from someone who really hadn't done a ton of nudity, but the fact is, before Monsters Ball, if an actress in the 70s, 80s or 90s did a graphic sex scene in a movie, they were rarely considered for an Oscar. It's almost like it cheapened your performance in some way. My Monsters Ball, she won Best Actress and did this crazy graphic sex scene. And by the way, Rod, we tracked down the European version of Monsters Ball, which is a. Has some different angles and cost of that scene. It's even more graphic. And we have that@mrskin.com which is pretty cool.
A
Dude, it's not pretty cool. It's very cool. Very cool. All right, listen. MrSkin.com you can see this. And when he talks about the cast categories, I mean, there's a million. There's. I mean, it's nip slips and breasts and boobs and all that stuff. But there's the best nude scene over 70. Glenn close over 70. I didn't know that she.
B
77 years old.
A
Glenn Close.
B
And just so you know, Rod, there wasn't like two runners up for best nude scene over 70, in case you're curious. She's 77 years old, did a movie called the Summer Book, and she runs naked through the woods. And I mean, you remember she was in Fatal Attraction in the Big chill in the 80s. She's been around quite a while. For her to do a full nude scene was kind of crazy. So. And by the way, we also did a best nude over 50, which was Nicole Kidman in that movie Baby Girl you've probably seen on cable TV over the last year. She did. She looks amazing. I mean, there's a little bit of a difference between Glenn Close and Nicole Kidman.
A
But big dude.
B
Yeah. If. If an actress over 70 does a nude scene, you can bet we'll do an anatomy award for it.
A
Let's go, bro. You're the best, dude. Keep going. Mr. Skin.com.
B
always love talking to you, man.
A
Thank you, brother. Thank you. Yeah, there's the anatomy awards. The real award show that matters. Yeah, I'm on the website right now. I got a rock and alternative for Houston.

D
Good morning. So top Republicans, Democrats met face to face yesterday for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security shut down. That began 33 days ago. So they met at the Capitol with the White House border czar. It was serious talks, but they were unresolved. The Senate majority leader has threatened to cancel their upcoming two week Easter recess unless a deal is reached. We all know that more than 60,000 TSA officers missed their first full paycheck this week. Absences there have more than doubled and hundreds of agents had quit. Airports are a hot mess. It's the first day of spring. Technically, 9:46am is the spring equinox. Okay, things started out a little foggy this morning in parts of our area, but a heat wave is right on schedule. Another sunny warm day. Houston records for this time of year in the upper upper 80s to near 90. Our forecasted highs are right in that range. And earlier this week we were freezing our tucuses off.
A
A lot of benefits to spring. Better light because we changed the clocks earlier this month so it's brighter later now. You might sleep better. Being exposed to more sunlight during the day can help you sleep better at night. That's good news. There's More fresh, healthy food options.
D
Oh, they're growing.
A
You're right. This is a great time of year to get there and maybe start getting in on some of that great produce. Outdoor activity. Spring cleaning may improve your mental health. I said that I was gonna do a little spring cleaning, and Alex looked at me and he went, yeah, it's a good thing.
D
Definitely get outside.
A
Good.
D
Speaking of Alex's mental health, Tinder, the dating app, is rolling out a new AI feature.
E
Not on Tinder, Mo.
D
It's called Camera Roll.
A
Happily married. He's not on today. I got my girl without AI.
D
He hates that guy.
E
Grinder.
A
That's next.
D
This new feature feature asks users for access to their full photo library. And then it uses AI to analyze your images. It's going to generate some photo insights, it's going to boost your profile, and it's going to kind of summarize your personality, your interests, and your lifestyles based on what you have pictures of.
A
It's going to write your profile for you. Yeah.
E
And you just work, and then you're going to blame it when no one likes you.
D
I think that's the real you.
A
I think I saw people on a first date yesterday.
D
Really?
A
Yeah.
D
What'd you do? What were they doing?
A
We went. Just got. I had some. I had some gift cards that I bought at one of our golf auctions. So I walked. We walked over and ate at Onion Creek.
D
Oh, yeah.
A
And then I saw them kind of come together and sit down and hug, and then they never shut up the whole time. You know, like when you're with somebody that you've been around and you're a little comfortable and you don't have to talk and every space doesn't have to be filled. They were filling every single space. But it seemed good time. Yeah, it's just. Yeah. You know, she's laughing at his dumb jokes, and he's laughing at her dumb jokes.
D
I love that you were listening.
A
I feel like it was a first date yesterday. You can almost tell. Yeah, you can kind of tell. Speaking of jokes, I wonder if they met on Tinder.
D
Maybe.
A
Hey, I meet you at Onion Creek.
D
It was AI, Tinder. Real Tinder. Chuck Norris was rushed to the hospital, and we found out about it yesterday. He had some sort of medical emergency in Hawaii. But. But as of yesterday, he was said to be in good spirits. To be fair, he just turned 86 years old on Wednesday.
A
He.
D
There's like this video of him training. Looks like he's doing some sort of sparring combat thing. No word if that was the reason for his emergency, but I don't know. He's 86.
A
No, 86 turned Chuck Norris. Come on.
D
The gibs. Like, my inbox is full of them. Y' all can have them. It's been a minute, actually, since 2022, since Muse had new music. We got new music. Today the band announced their 10th studio album. It's called the wow Signal. It's due out June 26th.
A
It got crucified on this show.
D
This song did.
A
I don't know if Jeremy got the same response when he world premiered it at noon yesterday, but I did send all your emails over to the Radio wizard, and believe me, he heard your
D
brutal calls loud and clear.
A
Brutal.
D
They're going. Their vibe. We had a fan call in and say they go with a what. What you call it? Some sort of vibe that they like. Well, go off of Spacey. It's spacey.
A
Yeah, they're Spacey. And the people that listen to Muse and like Muse, they're astronauts that emailed me, said that, hey, I like Muse and I like this new direction they're in.
D
Sweet.
A
So not everybody has hated it.

A
That's from a couple days ago. Okay. Chuck. Taken to the hospital and not leaving the hospital. Chuck Norris passes away. I mean, just every cool movie. The 80s is when Chuck Norris was. Before he was, you know, Walker, Texas Ranger. I know there's a lot of our audience that will know him from. From that, but like those Braddock, those missing in action movies. My favorite one probably is Hero and the Terror. But I mean, he goes back to making movies with Bruce Lee.
D
Dang.
A
Yeah. And he was just. He was a real badass. Like, he could back it up. He wasn't just like an action movie star. Like, he really was disciplined in. In the stuff that he was doing. He was trained. He was a trained fighter before he was an actor. I think he kind of fell into it. Forced vengeance. Every cool movie from the 80s, this guy was in the 80s, ruled. Everybody had a. Like every weekend, you could go to the theater and see an Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Sylvester Stallone, or a Chuck Norris movie. And then if you even wanted to get into the. What's the other guy? Alex. That's banned from Saturday Night Live is real. Kind of a dick. Steve. Steven Seagal. Steven Seagal. Even his movies were awesome.

A
Yes, he never got old. But the movie Sidekicks.
E
I remember that movie.
A
I want to say Stevens and Pruitt are in that movie from the old KOL days. Yeah, they may be like judges behind a table, but Mattress Mack and never really got the full story on it because we're always so busy when we were around him. But I think he said. Didn't he tell us he bankrolled that movie?
D
It was filmed here.
A
He somehow he was involved with the finances financials of that movie. So he must know Chuck.
D
Well, Chuck's always here.
A
Yeah, yeah, he like lives here. Super. Sorry, guys. I know we're supposed to be taking phone calls and stuff, but we're just talking about how great Chuck Norris was.

Refresh my memory. And there's no wrong answer here. But did she know you were going to do it or was she completely surprised?
B
Well, she. She didn't have a clue until a couple days before the cruise. She was getting mad because I told her I bought Jeep parts with this big chunk of money that was gone, and it was actually her ring.
A
So I had to tell her I was, you know, you're ruining the surprise.
