[Mo]

Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Good morning, Rod.

[Mo]

Good. What do you got for Houston's headlines?

[Rod Ryan]

Hey. A US Submarine used a torpedo to sink an Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean yesterday. Wow. It is the first time since World War II that the US has sunk an enemy ship by torpedo. The targeted vessel was the Soleimani. It's named after an Iranian commander. The commander was killed in a US strike back in 2020. The Defense Department released a periscope video of the attack. That's what we all saw on television yesterday.

[Mo]

Wild.

[Rod Ryan]

It was announced last night that retired Texan star J.J. watt was inducted into the Houston Sports hall of Fame. Jj Already a Texans Ring of Honor member, a former Walter Payton man of the Year, five time all pro selection, and is eligible for the Pro Football hall of fame in 2028. Congratulations to him. A new list of the toughest jobs in the United States. Considers how long you're on your and what kind of weather conditions you're working in. A survey of working US Adults reveals that firefighters tops the list of toughest jobs in the United States.

[Mo]

I've seen this list over the years. I feel like loggers were on there. Or are they up there?

[Rod Ryan]

Logger. They're not in the top 10 this year. No miners. That's kind of an outside situation. Oil workers on the list. The top three. Firefighter was one. Police officer came in two and construction worker came in number three.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Obviously we see medical nurses, paramedics, doctors, and then the people that are working outside, the farm workers, the roofers, stuff like that. Okay.

[Mo]

It sounds like a real list.

[Rod Ryan]

It really does. Radio people are not on the list.

[Mo]

Nope. No.

[Rod Ryan]

Lou Holtz, one of the most celebrated coaches in college football history, died at the age of 89. Notre Dame confirmed his passing yesterday. That guy. Best remembered for his 11 seasons coaching the Fighting Irish. During a one, he led the team to a perfect 12, 0 season. That was 1988 when they won the national championship and went undefeated. He was a coach for 34 years, compiling 249 wins. Also inducted into the College Football hall of Fame and received the Presidential Medal of Honor, our Medal of freedom in 2020. Another sphere. I feel like we just talked about this, Rod. We talked about the plans to build a smaller spinoff of the revolutionary music venue. They announced they're building the one in Washington D.C. and we were like, that seems like a weird pick.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Why didn't they pick somewhere like Nashville?

[Mo]

Right.

[Rod Ryan]

Well, that's what they are talking about now. They listen to us is basically what I'm hearing. Because another sphere may be happening in Nashville. One of these smaller dialed down a little bit spheres. But the Sphere Entertainment Group early discussions.

[Mo]

Oh my God, Alex.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, since they're already listening, they're going to hear that. I think it would be a good Nashville, good addition. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Take it, Alex.

[Alex]

Oh, because of spring break.

[Mo]

Spring break next week. So if he wins, whoever wins tomorrow, then we're off for a week. Yeah, I know. It's our second vacation. Okay. No, it's our first vacation.

[Rod Ryan]

First vacation of the year.

[Mo]

It's our first vacation of 2020. You guys got me gaslighted so bad thinking that we do take off more than we do.

[Rod Ryan]

I was gonna say who hurt you? But I know because I see the emails.

This is brutal. A group of bunnies. You know, when Alex was going to the homecoming dance, his mom made him a cake, and it said, some bunny wants to take you to the dance. And made him a bunny cake. And he gave.

[Alex]

Somebody wants to go to homecoming.

[Mo]

Some bunny wants to go to homecoming.

[Alex]

That was before. Like, you were supposed to do, like, a proposal for that. And then I learned that was a thing.

[Mo]

But it was just one bunny. It was one bunny.

[Alex]

It was a bunny cake.

[Mo]

Bunny cake. But one bunny cake? Well, yeah.

[Alex]

Okay, well, you don't need multiple.

[Mo]

If it was a group of bunny cakes.

[Alex]

I wasn't asking multiple people to dance.

[Mo]

A group of bunnies is called a herd. Typically, but in some parts of Canada, and they seem to get this one right, they call it a fluffle.

[Rod Ryan]

I love it.

[Mo]

It's a little bit more fitting.

[Rod Ryan]

I agree.

[Mo]

I know you call.

[Alex]

I always. I heard they called him a Horton.

[Mo]

Male goats.

[Alex]

Tim Hortons.

[Mo]

Male goats will pee on their own faces to attract females while mating. That is fun. Hey, whatever you're into. Okay, I guess whatever you're into. I'm not King Shaming on this show, but that's. Hey, all right. Whatever. Impressive. Whatever you're into. The largest sand castle in the world measured more than 69ft high. That's neat. It was constructed in Denmark in 2021. I looked it up pretty big. 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. Heard of bunnies? Never heard of something so silly. A fluffle.

[Rod Ryan]

Nasdaq gained 290 to 22,807. Benchmark 10 year treasury is trading at a 4.12% and oil stands at $77.12 a barrel. To the most active, the big studs, Amazon, Cisco and IBM.

[Mo]

I'm so excited. Thanks so much. All right, brother. Thank you for joining us in homeroom. Hang on. You're a great addition to the party. It's 94. 5 the buzz. 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan Show. Thank you for hanging with us on this throwback Thursday. Alex, My goal is to get some song clips in there in the 7 o' clock hour. Fired up about voting for those three tunes. They're on links and guests right now. Most got some Landry's all day ride passes. You can use these things all over the place. I mean basically anything that Fertitta owns, right? Yeah. Spring break passes. Cool. 20 chance of rain, partly cloudy today. Highs of around 83. Read my lips. Keep sending me those word suggestions. Email me directly [e-mail] right now. Mo and Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, Rob, thank you. A U.S. submarine used a torpedo to sink an Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean. It's the first time since World War II that the US has sunk an enemy ship by torpedo. The targeted vessel was the Soleimani, which is named after an Iranian commander. That commander was killed in a U.S. strike in 2020. The Defense Department released a periscope video of the attack. That's what we all saw on the news all day yesterday. Speaking of news, our weather patterns, they're starting to make a headline this morning as things for the weekend are shifting towards storms. I know there's lots of spring breakers that are going to be traveling, vacationing. So if you're keeping your eye on the weather for our area, know that a storm front is blowing in, sending a line of showers and Thunderstorms on Saturday. 70% chance for rain on Saturday, 60% for Sunday. And then after that, more powerful storms looking to plow through the area late Tuesday into Wednesday. After that, it's going to clear out and we're going to get to enjoy some nice weather. So apparently Texas is a state where you're most likely likely to become a soccer mom. You know those random bets that people make and we're like, what? Why are they betting on that? This is one of those things. They created a Soccer mom index. They considered a few factors. Sports participation rates, kids per capita, and minivans per capita. And that's how.

[Mo]

It's a wild assumption to think that those are all soccer vans, but. Okay, you're more likely to be a soccer mom in Texas than any other state. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

We do have the number one highest youth sports participation rate in the nation, which I think is something to be proud of.

[Mo]

I wonder this. Would there be more football moms in the state of Texas than any other state? I bet maybe.

[Rod Ryan]

I bet it feels like it.

[Mo]

Canadian moms would be where? Minnesota.

[Alex]

Canadian moms.

[Mo]

I'm sorry, I'm the hockey moms. Sorry.

[Alex]

Hockey moms would be probably in Canada.

[Mo]

Yeah, they'd be in Canada. Where would. Where would the hockey moms be? What state?

[Alex]

Michigan.

[Mo]

Michigan.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, Michigan. There's a lot.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

You think they're just using soccer mom just because that's, like, the term.

[Mo]

Yeah, soccer mom. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

So it's interesting. Sports moms.

[Mo]

Sports moms. Soccer moms.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, we're here. You're gonna love this next story, Alex, because thanks to the Olympic games, Lynyrd Skynyrd is making his return to the Billboard charts. Free bird got a boost after it became the unofficial anthem for the u. S. Men's and women's hockey teams. So it landed number 50:15 on the Rock and Alternative Songs chart, number one on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, and number six on the overall digital song sales chart. Another song that came out of the Olympics, Donna summer song, macarthur Park. I guess Alyssa Liu used that for her gold medal figure skating routine. And it also saw a huge jump on the charts that people were like, wait, see, let's. What's going on? The Olympics.

[Mo]

You know what else must have jumped?

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, after they sing that in the locker room.

[Mo]

I mean, obviously all the clips with Leonard skin Skinner in it were great, but my second favorite were any hockey clip using dream on. And it's all because the closing credits of the movie miracle.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, we use this song.

[Mo]

They use this song in Miracle. Yeah.

[Alex]

The Tkachuk brothers were on a podcast, and they said that they spent the entirety of, like, the three days after winning listening to this free bird and courtesy of the red, white and blue and born in the usa Just like, they're like, it was the easiest d job or DJ job ever at any of the bars or clubs we went to, because it was.

[Mo]

Just put those four on repeat. We're good. Jack Hughes on the Pat McAfee McAfee show said, Dream on is the greatest Song of all time.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, Courtney Love is a roller coaster of emotions. Her and Melissa Ostermar are teasing a whole reunion.

[Mo]

There you go.

[Rod Ryan]

Their classic lineup has been on hiatus since 2002. They did try some stuff with different members 2009, 2012, but it kind of looks like she's sparking some rumors. Why? Well, Courtney Love posted a very mysterious video on her Instagram yesterday. It's got Melissa posing in like this flowing dress, gold ring in the spotlight, dancing in slow motion. People are talking. Do we need a whole reunion?

[Mo]

I think you need Eric, that big tall, geeky blonde to play guitar and I don't think he will. There was some kind of him and Courtney got into a battle about a Kurt Cobain guitar and Eric felt it was a gift and he felt it was his and Courtney wanted it and so yeah, there's something going on with him. So we'll see. Melissa in the band is important.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Having her on bass, it's very important.

[Rod Ryan]

Seems like they're in it together, but

[Mo]

you need Eric on guitar and I don't know that they can patch things up. So it'll be interesting to see Houston's headlines Take it. Alex.

[Alex]

Last night in college hoops, seventh ranked U of H beat Baylor 77 to 64. The Cougs improved to 25 and 5 on the season with the win in the NBA. The Rockets are going to be back in action tonight.

Creed and Chris Stapleton sold out nights, March 11th and 12th. Creed tickets on Mow the Show before we get out of here. Chris stapleton tickets at 8:20. You're gonna have to pick either Chili or Mo. Who you think is going to win? Congratulations to Rocky Johnson. I grew up watching Rocky Johnson wrestle Wayne's dad. Yeah, it was the Rock's dad named Rock. I think his name was Sweet Ebony Diamond. Before that, before he went as. He wrestled as Rocky Johnson. We have a listener. Rocky Johnson. I did it. Section 305. Mo two day tickets, face value, 850. He got Metallica tickets. Wait, what? Yeah, he got Metallica tickets in the. The Sphere. I still call it the Sphere. He got Metallica tickets in Sphere? Yeah, he got him. He says, tell listeners join the waiting room on Ticketmaster 30 minutes prior to them going on sale. Once it goes on sale, they'll throw you into the queue randomly. If you don't join the waiting room and just jump in the queue when they go on sale, you're automatically put behind everybody that was in the waiting room. Good luck to everybody. Rocky Johnson is going to see Metallica

[Rod Ryan]

in the Sphere and he said he

[Mo]

got them for 850 face value and he's 300. Yeah, that's 850 each.

[Rod Ryan]

So that it's two nights though.

[Mo]

Two day tickets, face value, about 850 each. Okay, so 400 per show. Yeah, 425 per show. Yeah. No repeat. The Metallica's playing Thursday and Friday, Thursday and Saturday. Thursday and Saturday.

[Rod Ryan]

Different shows, both.

[Mo]

No repeats.

[Rod Ryan]

That's really cool.

[Mo]

You're gonna go to a Metallica show and only hear Enter Sandman. One of those nights. I mean, that's insane. I've been. I've been going to see Metallica for a long time. And Enter Sandman came out a long time ago. I can't imagine being at a Metallica show and them not closing within her. Sandman, you know, all those songs, but, I mean, that's how many tunes they have. Congrats, Rocky. I'm super happy for you. I didn't even try to get into that. I mean, not. It's not that I wouldn't want to see Metallica at the Sphere. It's just not in my thing right now.

[Rod Ryan]

Can you imagine if you would have gotten in, like, had the opportunity? You would have been like, bye. You would have freaked out them.

[Mo]

No, I would freak.

[Rod Ryan]

You didn't tempt yourself.

[Mo]

Anything in the Sphere is great. You're talking about them possibly. Now, is it a done deal or

[Rod Ryan]

is it another rumor very early?

[Mo]

Sphere loves rumors. They love rumors.

[Rod Ryan]

The Washington, D.C. one is okay.

[Mo]

That's a done deal.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

So the Sphere in Vegas holds about 18. A little over 18,000, which is not huge. That's toy. The center size.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

It's just a different experience. It's a different. It's a different way to configure people. Everybody's in this bowl on one side. The. The one in Vegas. I'm sorry, the one in D.C. about 6,000. That's the rumor. And it seems like a similar one is being talked about being put in Nashville.

[Alex]

The Nashville.

[Mo]

The Nash Fear, as my friend Alex already named it. So. Sure. Street name. He's already got the street name people are calling it. All right, Fix the Gram. Thursday is our number one blog page today. There's a food blog page up today. There's a crazy criminal blog page up today. Also on links and guests is information about the golf tournament where our friends Admiral Transfer and Rigging have come in as the title sponsor again. Thank you, Duke. But we've got House of Blues has never been in before as a sponsor. I'm at the. I'm at the level now where the tournament is sold out, player wise. But I still need a ton of help and I need sponsorships and I need businesses to come forward. That's a done deal, apparently. Remember I told you there was my watch dude. That's his name. That's the name of the company. My watch dude. He's getting a Rolex.

[Rod Ryan]

That's happening.

[Mo]

He's gonna get a Rolex out there and it's gonna be a hole in one. There's gonna be a chance to win. A Rolex. But we're winning a hole in one. Ocean Core, Jeep Slop Shop, Grazia, Mainland Tool, Willys, Ice House, Willie's Grill and Ice House. Yeah, just some of the great sponsors that have already come in. The golf tournament is April 15th.

[Alex]

Better football player than person.

[Mo]

Josh Allen never said one word bad about him either.

You know what? You don't need kids. Go, go. Just you do it, John.

[Rod Ryan]

Enjoy your life.

[Mo]

Go and pet this thing. It's dope. My 3 year old loves the aquarium, so it'll be great. All right, so it's kind of perfect for you then. I was gonna say, who cares about kids? Go to the pleasure period. Go by yourself. Go by yourself. Eat some cotton candy till you barf. Right? All right, John, thank you for being on the show today. You're awesome, man. I really appreciate it. Appreciate you, John. Thank you. He's got a three year old over there. Perfect. The presidents of the United States of America.

[Rod Ryan]

Mo tell me. I've heard one of their songs.

[Mo]

You've heard a couple of their songs. Lump was the first song that we had heard from them. They. They came out of Seattle during that Seattle boom. They sounded nothing like the grunge of the time. And they were almost a comedic band. They kind of were almost like an improv type of band. They would play in bars and people would write things. They'd yell out topics and they would just write songs on the spot. Probably their biggest mainstream hit was this one right here. I mean, that sounds nothing like the grunge of a Its day.

[Rod Ryan]

I've heard this song.

[Mo]

Yeah, everybody has. And then, you know, the ultimate thing for a band back in the day was to have your song done by Weird Al Yankovic. They did Gump. Forrest Gump. They made a Gump parody. Is this the. Is this the top vote getter?

[Rod Ryan]

It is. It has 60, almost 68% of the votes right now.

[Mo]

It's gonna be hard to beat. It's such a fun song, this. Peaches Kitty. I. Oh, yeah, Mach 5. There's a lot of president songs that are great. Jane's Addiction, I have a special spot. I have a soft spot in my heart for Jane's Addiction. I feel like they're so important. Everybody looks to Nirvana and like, what they did for alternative music. And if Nirvana, like kicked in the door or Nirvana was the explosion, the spark was Jane's Addiction. No, Jane's Addiction. No, all of this stuff. I mean, Jane's Addiction, alternative, they really were the ground floor. And I know there were bands already like the Cure and things going around, but there was just something special about Jane's Addiction that they were doing something that nobody else was doing. They were combining different types of music. As far as a mainstream hit for Jane's Addiction was the biggest song they ever did. They got the most airplay on MTV with this. Been Caught Stealing. This is in second place.

[Rod Ryan]

It is 24% of the votes.

[Mo]

This was on MTV non stop for A while. This is the interesting one. And there's a sad story because the lead singer didn't make it past his mid-30s.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, no.

[Mo]

Yeah, he. He died of cancer. The band School of Fish only had one hit. It's this one here. Three Strange Days. Lead singer passed away of cancer. He was young. I think he was 32. He died. He died in 2000. So the guitarist went on, did some other things. Started a band called Laszlo Bane. Interesting band. I think they did the theme song for Scrubs.

[Alex]

You're no Superman.

[Mo]

Is that the song? Yeah. I never watched Scrubs, but I think the Laszlo Bane guy from this band did the theme. This is a great song. I don't know that it's. It sounds dated, but it sounds like I know what I was doing at this time in my life. When this song was on the radio, I, you know, I look different. This song ain't got a chance, huh?

[Rod Ryan]

Seven percent of the vote.

[Mo]

Seven percent of the vote. Yeah. People don't remember it. It's an interesting video. I'll tell you what. If you just want to listen on your own, it's not gonna win. Chili puts up the videos on the. The page that you guys vote. He puts up the videos you can go watch and maybe just go revisit because it looks like the presidents are probably gonna win if you want to revisit. That Jane's Addiction video is really good too. It's all on the Rod Ryan show, The world famous blog page, the Rod Ryan Show. Side effects include mood swings. Mood swings on 94.

[Rod Ryan]

5 the buzz.

[Mo]

[Rod Ryan]

[Mo]

Yeah. I mean, yeah, I need more everything. You know, how needy. I don't know what these other guys talk about on the radio. I'm busy doing my own radio show. Do they just constantly beat their listeners up about needing one thing after another after another? It's like, I don't feel like I ever stop. I need spa answers. I need you to put a picture on our Facebook page. I need you to vote for this. I need you to go take my poll question. I need you to go answer my question on Facebook. I get sick of my own voice. I get sick of. I'm like, that's all I do is ask. I'm not charging for the show. We're not charging for the show. The show's free. So I'm gonna ask you for a few things. Okay. This is the best Entertainment in this, at this price point, this is the best entertainment you're gonna get. Okay? Because it's free. But I need you to. To send me some word suggestions, please and thank you. Mo is taking on chili, and we're gonna get rolling with that game at around 8:20, and I can't do it without some more words that you think would be good to have on the game today. So. Rodatthebuzz.com drop your. Drop your buddy an email. Okay. The other day when I went for my film physical, you know, blood work, finger in the fanny. I've talked about it. The. I had to fast, right, for like six hours before I went, okay, So I could have a little breakfast. And then by the time I got to the doctor's office, you know, it had to be six hours. Nothing. Just water, black coffee, which I couldn't have black coffee because I gave that up. Right? Yeah. So I. So I got out of the doctor's office after fingering my fanny. You know what they don't do? What? You don't really get to clean up shop. Like, he goes in there, and then you just walk out of the office squishing, squishy, squishy. You walk out of the office, squishy. Like, he goes in, he's got a jelly up a little bit. You know, he's got a lube up.

[Rod Ryan]

You're welcome.

[Mo]

And then boom. And then it's done. And then you put your pants up and you just kind of walk out like that. Alex, like, where are you gonna.

[Alex]

Like, you don't.

[Mo]

You don't get to tidy up at all. That's another story.

[Alex]

Stopped by, like, the restroom on the way out.

[Mo]

Yeah, I probably should have done that. I just slid right out of the office and slid in my car, out

[Rod Ryan]

of there as soon as possible.

[Mo]

Slid right into the car. So I hadn't eaten. And I'm not. This is just me. I just don't do fast food, right? But I was very, very hungry. And I'm like, okay. I needed to make a couple. Couple of stops before I got home. Normally I just eat at the house or whatever, and I didn't pack anything. So I. I said, oh, well, there's some fast food joints. I'm out there way out on Dairy Ashford. I'm like a chick fil A. Everybody's talking about chick fil A all the time. I'm gonna go in there. You know what I mean? And I've had it before. There's 80 cars on a. When did I go?

[Rod Ryan]

Tuesday yeah, after a doctor's appointment. It was like two o'.

[Mo]

Clock. No, no, no. It was like, closer to around. Well, 12:20 was the intrusion. So 12:45. Okay, 12:45. There are 600 cars in the to go line. Like at the drive through. Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

Did you get in that line?

[Mo]

No.

[Rod Ryan]

You would have been out of that line in five minutes. 5.

[Mo]

It was in the street. It seemed. It seemed dangerous. It seemed reckless.

[Rod Ryan]

They got it now.

[Mo]

Across the street. It was a Wendy's. And nary a car in the lane, not one car for Dave Thomas.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait, so you picked Wendy's? Yeah, because there was no line.

[Mo]

Yeah, there was nobody.

[Rod Ryan]

It probably took longer.

[Mo]

Still, I didn't do the whole thing. Like, okay, let's look at the car where I would have been.

[Rod Ryan]

White Lexus. I would have been behind it. You didn't do that.

[Mo]

There is no way. There was no way. No, the Wendy's was very quick.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

It was good. That's it.

[Rod Ryan]

All you wanted to tell me is it was good.

[Mo]

I'm glad I didn't enjoy it afterwards. Number one. I feel like Fat boy sitting there eating. Eaten fast food. Like, I feel so much shame. I don't know what it is. I can't explain it. I feel so much shame.

[Rod Ryan]

Bra.

[Mo]

That's sad. I'm sitting in my car eating a burger by myself. I feel shame.

[Rod Ryan]

Once a year is all you eat in a drive through. I think you're gonna be okay.

[Mo]

Shame. So I sat there and I ate the whole thing, even though I was kind of full. I'm like, you should probably stop right here. And like, no, no. Chubby kept going and then licking, licking the paper. Oh, my God. It sat in my stomach like a bowling ball. Ugh. I'm glad. I want it to do that to me. I want it to do that to me.

[Rod Ryan]

Just to teach a lesson.

[Mo]

It wasn't bad. It was delicious. But I don't. I don't want to feel, like, awesome after I eat it. I'm glad. I felt ridiculous. I'm like, all right, that'll keep me out of there for a while. The Chick Fil A line that I didn't get in there, apparently they made a big change. Change to their waffle fries.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait, what?

[Mo]

They waffle fries there? Yeah. They made a change a year ago that you didn't know about. No, but can you imagine writing a letter to Chick Fil A because you didn't like the way something tasted?

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, I've encountered people like that.

[Alex]

Exactly. Who did I picture them?

[Mo]

I thought you were going to tell me you did.

[Alex]

Yeah, we all know exactly what they look like.

[Rod Ryan]

It wasn't me. Just to be clear. No.

[Mo]

Okay. But this is. This is a story of triumph. Don't let anyone tell you that your voice doesn't matter. I try to. I try to tell you guys that about this radio station. I don't think you believe me, but boy, does your voice matter. If you speak up. You can't affect change.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay, what happened?

[Mo]

Chick Fil A announced they were removing this called pea starch from their waffle potato fries. They added it two years ago to help the fries stay crispier. Because. Because more this door dashy and more of this traveling business going on. So they. They came up with something to keep the fries a little crispier. But apparently it wasn't a popular move. And a lot of customers. I'm just going to say a lot of customers complained that the pea starch. Pea changed the texture and the flavor. And people have been complaining, pushing them for to return to the original recipe. And it's. It's. It's unclear exactly when they made the change, but it sounds like it's been done immediately. So the customer support page on the Chick Fil A website, I can't even imagine. There's people that hang out on customer support pages of fast food restaurants. It now includes this response. Does your waffle fry recipe contain pea starch? No. And they've also updated the ingredients on their website and they've mixed the pea starch. They got enough complaints about it. Boom, it's gone. People said that it affected the texture and the taste. Everyone seems happy about it. This person online, I read a quote. I'm gonna miss that. Peace starch said no one.

[Rod Ryan]

What the actual heck?

[Mo]

What a win for you, the consumer. Okay, so you gotta speak up a little bit. Okay. Your voice matters. And it looks like Chick Fil A. Listen. The Rod ryan Morning show. 6 to 10am the buzz 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Sorry I was over here voting for Throwback Thursday. Would you vote for.

[Rod Ryan]

Nervous for you to say what you voted for because that usually sways voters

[Mo]

in the wrong way. Yeah, people don't want my song to go.

[Rod Ryan]

Alex. Anytime you say something, he does the opposite.

[Mo]

School of Fish is in the lead right now. They have 40% of the vote. Believe it or not, Presidents have dropped to second place. 33% of the vote. Jane's addiction 26% in third place. There's not even a thousand votes. Just telling the story about the school of Fish and everything. I think people maybe kind of jumped on and it is a really, really good song. That's what I voted for. That's how I saw the results. School of Fish in the lead right now. Winning song played at 9:30. It'll probably be the president's partly cloudy today. 20, chance of rain, high of 83. I could use some more words. You're doing good. You're doing good. Not great today. You're doing good. On sending me word suggestions. Mo takes on Chile at 8. 20 on Read My Lips. I could use some word suggestions. Emailed to me rodatthebuzz.com There's Mo right there with Houston's headlines.

[Rod Ryan]

Hey there. Good morning. A US Submarine used a torpedo to sink an Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean yesterday. It's the first time, first time since World War II that the US has sunk an enemy ship by torpedo. The targeted vessel was the Soleimani, which is named after an Iranian commander who was killed by a US strike in 2020.

[Mo]

So the namesake and the actual ship done. Yeah. Okay. US Dominance.

[Rod Ryan]

It was announced last night that retired Texan star J.J. watt was inducted into the Houston Sports hall of Fame. He's already a Texans Ring of Honor member, a former Walter Payton man of the year, five time all pro selection and eligible for the Pro Football hall of fame in 2028. Congratulations, JJ. A new list of the toughest jobs in the US considers how long you're on your feet and what kind of weather conditions you have to work in.

[Mo]

I'm on my feet for four hours here. Four hours. I'm on my.

[Rod Ryan]

Wearing tennis shoes. I think you're going to be okay, princess.

[Mo]

Climate controlled.

[Rod Ryan]

The survey of working US Adults revealed that firefighters taught the list of toughest jobs. Police officers came in second. Construction workers round out the top three. No real surprise on this list. Lots of medical professionals, nurses, paramedics, doctors. And then our outside hard workers, the farm workers, construction, oil.

[Mo]

And you didn't see anything about. I know it doesn't pertain to us here, but logging wasn't in there.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not in the top 10.

[Mo]

I'm telling you. Whatever, whatever list was put together in the past. I feel like logging was always on top.

[Rod Ryan]

I mean, they still exist.

[Mo]

It's a super dangerous job. Absolutely. Yeah. It's a super dangerous job.

[Rod Ryan]

It's not in the top 10.

[Mo]

I'll have to look at the longer construction was. Third. It was okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Especially here in Texas. I always think about those guys and gals outside in the Elements.

[Mo]

We used to have a couple of iron workers that called in. And I knew iron workers growing up, up. And those are the craziest people ever.

[Rod Ryan]

Are they like the ones that are up on the.

[Mo]

Walking on the girders? They're crazy. Every one of them is crazy. Yeah, every one of them is. Absolutely has.

[Rod Ryan]

It's gotta be mentally next level.

[Mo]

Like the screws that they. They use the screws from their head, they put them into the iron. They're all nuts. I love them, but they're crazy, man.

[Rod Ryan]

Sad news out of the sports world. We heard that, that Lou Holtz passed away. He's one of the most celebrated coaches in college football history. He died at the age of 89. Notre Dame confirmed his passing yesterday. But he's best remembered for his 11 seasons coaching the Fighting Irish, during which he led the team to a perfect 120 season back in 1988. Pretty crazy. He was also inducted into the College Football hall of Fame in 2008 and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2020.

[Mo]

Did you get that out to anybody?

[Rod Ryan]

Pretty wild, right? Good for him.

[Mo]

Anybody that played for that man said that they would just go through a brick wall for him. Yeah, you know, like he was just such a motivator and just, I don't know, he just seemed like he was just a superior human being.

[Rod Ryan]

That's awesome. Another Sphere question mark. We just talked about the plans to build a smaller spin off of the revolutionary Vegas music venue. The one they had announced is being constructed in Washington D.C. well, with that mention, they also said they're looking for more cities that also seem deserving. And we thought, oh, why not Nashville?

[Mo]

Duh.

[Rod Ryan]

The Sphere Entertainment company is reportedly in early discussions with local business leaders about bringing a Sphere to the music city. Makes sense. No formal plans yet. We'll keep you posted. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

There's Alex.

[Alex]

Well, in college hoops Last night, the seventh ranked U of H Cougars beat Baylor 77 to 64. So the Cougs improved at 25 and 5 on the season in the NBA. The Rockets are gonna be back in action tonight.

[Rod Ryan]

The buzz.

[Mo]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning. Good morning. Rod Ryan's show. Throwback Thursday. School of Fish. Three days grace or, I'm sorry, three strange days. My bad. It's in the lead. Wow. Still early on the voting. Got a lot of time. 9:30 is when we will decide what song gets played for Throwback Thursday. I would appreciate your vote. I like you looking at all the links. I like you checking out all the things that we got going on. All the golf information is on links and guests. I got a couple of emails. I was talking to you guys about Chick fil A, how they changed their waffle fries due to, like, customer feedback. There was a customer support page and they were getting blown up. A lot of customers were complaining that apparently they added something called pea. Pea starch to the french fries at Chicken Chick Fil a, the waffle fries, to make them stay crispier longer. And people noticed immediately that it changed the texture and the flavor. Okay, email. Three emails came in and they said, rod, they all kind of said, back in the day, didn't you have a customer complaint hotline call? A funny one. And one guy remembered that it was. And I. I couldn't think of what it was. And then one guy emailed me and said, rod, there was a guy that called back in the day, not your show, but he called the Jimmy Dean sausage, the number that came on the back of the package. You're familiar with Jimmy Dean sausage?

[Rod Ryan]

Of course.

[Mo]

Yeah. Right?

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Everybody knows that there's a number on the back. Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

You call it and to complain.

[Mo]

Yeah. This is like before viral audio. This is before, like, viral clips. Yeah. This is before people would do this kind of thing on purpose to get on the radio or to make, like, a viral clip on the Internet. This is a real call of a guy. I'm gonna let him just do his work. Alex. Found it.

[Rod Ryan]

You have it?

[Mo]

Yeah, it's dated 2007.

[Rod Ryan]

Okay.

[Mo]

Guy calls and he's not happy. This is like how we talk about Shrinkflation now. I Believe I haven't heard this clip in years. We. You've heard it before, Alex. Yeah. We played this in forever.

[Alex]

In a minute.

[Mo]

Okay, I, I don't need. There's no more setup. This is a guy calling the back. The phone number on the back of his Jimmy Dean sausage.

[Caller/Guest]

I don't know where you people come from. I don't know if you test your products, your quantity of your product, your products. Very delicious. Love your sauce for 30 something years. But I can't take and feed a family of five on a little 12 ounce roll of sausage. I don't mind paying you more money for your 16 ounce roll of sausage, but you don't have it anymore. You've got a 12 ounce roll and you got three men that weigh over 200 pounds apiece. A woman that's a little plump scotch girl and a daughter who's 13. And you're going to try to take a 12 ounce roll of Sol sausage and a couple of dozen eggs and feed that. It ain't gonna work. And I'm not gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again.

[Mo]

Guy's not happy about the 12. Wow. Now you're thinking he's done, right? Oh no, there's more. Oh, he's not done. He's not done. This whole club, I mean, let's just play. I don't know if we'll play the whole thing. I, I remember it being around two minutes long. That was only 40 seconds. Oh, this guy's not done.

[Caller/Guest]

And as far as your 16 ounces maple and sage. I don't eat that. I'm not from the north. I'm a Texas man. Jimmy Dean sausage is for southern people to eat with the breakfast with the fried eggs and the T bone steaks and I can't see going to a little 12 ounce package to feed four, five, six people. And I'm not gonna buy two of those 12 ounce packages just because you want to downsize and charge the same God price. I'd sure like a reply and I'd sure like you to go back to your 16 ounce package on your regular sausage because I'm not going to buy it otherwise ever again. I'll just have my own sauce made like I used to 30 something years ago. It's not tasty.

[Mo]

There's a strong ending. I remember.

[Caller/Guest]

Goodbye little 12 ounce God roll of sausage. Supposed to feed your brother and me and you 600 pounds of men. least. You get my point? And the two girls and they put it in that roll of sausage. Son of a Somebody needs a kick. Some little consumer geekeroid. Save money. Yes, Save money. Save money.

[Rod Ryan]

He hung up.

[Mo]

It's one of our own. You heard him say? Yep, from Texas. I don't know where this sage. Where you guys have this maple and sage? We're not from the north. Okay. I got a T bone steak, and I got my egg. My fried eggs. I'm here. I'm a man from Texas.

[Rod Ryan]

Did anyone ever find that guy?

[Mo]

Like, I don't know. I don't know.

[Alex]

They gave him all the sausage. It's like a lifetime.

[Rod Ryan]

Jimmy Dean seems like they would call him back.

[Mo]

I forgot about that clip. Thank you. It is. Is absolute gold. And it's crazy.

[Alex]

Like, it just is such a big part of people. Like, certain things are just a part of people's life that you don't even think about. And it's like that guy's like, oh, hell. We're not downsizing the size of this sausage.

[Mo]

Got my wife. She's a little plump. Don't say that. It was.

[Rod Ryan]

So we're down the south.

[Mo]

We're a little plump. Okay. G.D. texas. I'm down here. I got to eat. Sauce sausage. Thank you. That's a great reminder. I forgot all about that. Okay, time to read my lips. I'll do one final scan. I. I have enough words I can use. Some greatness sent to me, though, right now. Don't send me Jimmy Dean sausage. They're going to be expecting that. Got it. A lot of stuff coming in of things that we talked about on the show today, and I feel like Mo and Chili, they're. They're like, they're ready for that stuff. All right. Most suggested word today.

[Alex]

Bam.

[Mo]

Bam in the ham.

[Rod Ryan]

I kind of forgot about that and

[Mo]

even, like, a shortened version of it, but that was, like, the number one suggested thing today. Word suggestions. I. I'll take one final scan of my email, and then we'll get set up here where Chili's gonna join us in the room, and he's gonna be playing again against Mo to try to win you those sold out Chris Stapleton tickets. All right, Stay with us. Houston's Rock.

[Rod Ryan]

Houston's alternative and home of the Rod ryan Morning Show. 94. 5 the buzz.

[Mo]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning, Rod Ryan show. Well, well, well. I see Mo put up some pictures from our little adventure last night. Okay, cool. I. I do want to talk about it. I. I really had a great time time out there at the rodeo. And the calf scramble, it was awesome. I mean, getting the behind the Scenes look that we did. It was a long day, but it was a really, really fun day. The amount of work, I mean, behind every door at Energy Stadium and, and even the convention center, it's just like behind every door there's an army of people working to move the show and to move the. The progress forward. 30, 000 volunteers and actually met one of your friends who actually gets paid. There's like, there's like nine people. There's like nine people that get paid from the rodeo. And then there's 35, 000 volunteers that just volunteer their time, including all of

[Alex]

the animals, like the cows probably get paid.

[Mo]

It was. It was a great. It was an unbelievable experience. And I do want to talk about it, but thank you for including me in that. It was really fun. So Mo put up a bunch of pictures up on our Instagram @Rodryan show. That's my show is the first. My picture is the first pick.

[Rod Ryan]

You look great, Rob.

[Mo]

Oh, that. Oh, really? That means you look good in that picture. You like the way you look in that picture. All right, so Instagram not trending yet, but go check it out at Rod Ryan show. What is trending?

[Alex]

What is trending on our website is Sixtagram Thursday.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Was submitted to us by listener Evan. A of lot of people are checking her out.

[Mo]

I did.

[Alex]

While you're there, go check out Rod's pictures from the rodeo yesterday.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Alex]

But world famous Rod ran show page@the buzz.com Therod Ryan show.com as well. Lou Holtz continues to trend. The former Notre Dame head coach and ESPN analyst passed away yesterday at the age of 89. So people are talking about that. And then Miles Garrett is trending. The Browns edge rusher and former Aggie was given his ninth speeding ticket. He's had nine speeding tickets now since joining the NFL in 2017.

[Mo]

Where does he play?

[Alex]

Cleveland.

[Mo]

In New York. There's a point system. I think Ohio has a similar system where you get so many points, but

[Alex]

like, does that count if you are the sack record holder and you're like, oh, by the way, hi, my name's Myles Garrett. Do you like the Browns? Because if you do, you should probably not ticket me.

[Mo]

I was just Rodney Ryan. I got. Got points. I got.

[Alex]

Yeah, I would have got points too, but Miles Garrett, I feel like they might be like, you know what, Miles? Yeah, here's just a regular speeding ticket. We're not going to hold it against you.

[Mo]

I also probably wasn't driving the level of vehicle that he drives.

[Alex]

Porsche, I believe he was.

[Mo]

It was a.

[Rod Ryan]

Those are fast.

[Alex]

I don't know what kind of Porsche, but it was a Porsche. He had also flipped a Porsche previously, and that was part of his nine speeding tickets that he's gotten.

[Mo]

But dude likes to go fast. Yeah.

[Alex]

Likes to go fast, and he likes to stack quarterbacks. So those are two things about Miles Garrett. If you didn't know, know that. But that's what's trending. A94.5 buzz.

[Mo]

[Rod Ryan]

Really?

[Mo]

That's what I was gonna ask.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Get you going.

[Mo]

It seems like the changing of the song. Meaning what? These guys are when they not only they put on a different pair of headphones, but they're also blaring a song in their ears. It's been Mastodon. Yeah. Since Dinah was here. It's been Mastodon since this game.

[Alex]

Find a song that was not no break. Like, there's no breaks in it.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Then you could potentially hear. And this has none of it

[Mo]

music to my ears. So. So this is in your ears blaring so loud. Yeah. Right.

[Alex]

And it's not even two minutes. So then it just repeats. So it's just like. Hell yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

It's amazing.

[Mo]

Oh, and the bass kicks in. Okay, Mo. Is it better on my ears? Yeah.

[Rod Ryan]

No, in my heart. Yes.

Yes.

[Mo]

As loud as it can be. And you're trying to guess the words while this song's playing, but it's like, it's a vibe.

[Alex]

You're just like, you want to guess for your country.

[Mo]

Yeah, I'm like playing good for it, you know, I'm guessing for my country for Olivia and my and my country for the troops.

[Rod Ryan]

See, it's pretty awesome.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Good job, Chili.

[Mo]

Good job, Chili.

[Rod Ryan]

With the win, Houston's Rock an alternative

[Mo]

and the Rod Ryan Morning Show, 6 to 10am, the Buzz 94. 5 the Buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan Show. Thank you so much for rolling with us on this throwback Thursday winning song played at 9:30 this morning. We got a pretty good race here too with these songs. I'm interested in this race. If you haven't voted yet, you need to do so on the world famous Rod Ryan show blog [e-mail] so for today, partly cloudy today and tonight, 20% chance of rain. High of 83 mo says that's going to change. We'll get more in Houston's headlines. What you got?

[Rod Ryan]

Hey, there. So we know a US Submarine used a torpedo to sink an Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean yesterday. My favorite fact, though, it is the first time since World War II that the US has sunk an enemy ship by torpedo.

[Mo]

Wow.

[Rod Ryan]

The targeted vessel was called the Soleimani, which is named after an Iranian commander. That commander was also killed in a U.S. strike in 2020. The Defense Department released that periscope video of the attack. That's what we saw all over the news yesterday. All right, talking local weather. Our weather patterns are in the headlines this morning because it's been quite a shift shift towards storms. I know we got lots of spring breakers traveling, vacationing. So if you're keeping your eyes on the weather, know that that storm front is blowing in, sending a line of showers, thunderstorms. 70% chance for rain on Saturday, 60% chance for Sunday, which is a bummer. Once we get through that a more powerful storm system is looking like it's going to plow through late Tuesday into Wednesday.

[Mo]

Okay. Well, we needed it. I don't know. Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. Apparently, Texas is the state where you're most likely to be a soccer mom. Rod.

[Mo]

Shout out. Soccer moms, shout out.

[Rod Ryan]

This is one of those random bets that people make and we're like, what are you betting on? They created a soccer mom index. They considered a few different factors. Sports participation rates, kids per capita, and minivans per capita. Texas ranks number one, partly because we do have the highest, highest youth sports participation rate in the nation.

[Mo]

Somebody. One of the words that didn't make the cut was soccer milf. I don't know if that would have been easy. Soccer milf. Would that have been hard?

[Rod Ryan]

I don't know. It depends. And I have to watch it the way.

[Alex]

You're fine.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, they were fine. Go Texas, I guess.

[Mo]

Go Texas. Number one. Soccer mom.

[Rod Ryan]

Number one. No matter what. I'd like to think the Olympic Games. And so would Donna Summer and Linda Skynyrd because they're both making their return to the Billboard charts because of the Olympics. We know that Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird got a boost because it became the unofficial anthem for the US Men's and women's hockey teams. Right. Well, it landed number 15 on the rock and alt songs chart.

[Mo]

All right.

[Rod Ryan]

Number one on the rock digital song sales chart. That means everyone was buying it. And it was number six on the digital song song sales chart. Donna Summers song, MacArthur Park, I guess. Alyssa Lou, the figure skater, she used it for her gold medal figure skating routine.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

That song peaked because of that.

[Mo]

I just gotta give a shout out. All the hockey highlights with Dream On.

[Alex]

It's pretty great.

[Mo]

Maybe the best video of this is. Is showing Jack Hughes and the guys lacing up and getting ready and all singing this in the locker room. Yeah, it's pretty cool. That's a great one, too. So. Yeah, they were. Jack Hughes said that this is the greatest song of all time. So he said that on the Pat McAfee Show.

[Rod Ryan]

Let's talk about a whole reunion.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Courtney Love and Melissa Ostomar. How'd I do?

[Mo]

Nailed it. I think so.

[Rod Ryan]

So the band's classic lineup has been on hiatus since, what, 2002? It did return between 2009 and 2012. Some different members, some stuff shifting around. But now Courtney Love has sparked new rumors because she has a very mysterious new video on her Instagram as of yesterday. It features the Melissa gal posing in this, like, gown thing, elaborate gold ring and a spotlight D dancing in slow motion to the song malibu from the 90s. Late 90s.

[Mo]

What's going on?

[Rod Ryan]

Courtney Love likes to tease and then take it back. And then it's like a roller coaster.

[Mo]

Yeah, But I think she even said she goes, should we tell the kids about the tour? So it sounds like they're gonna. So it sounds like they're gonna go and do something which is good. I mean, just the two of them.

[Rod Ryan]

Who are they missing?

[Mo]

The. The original guitar player. Eric. Eric. Eric Airlander. Something like that. There was something, something about a Kurt Cobain guitar back in the day which he felt it was given to him and it's not his.

[Rod Ryan]

And him and Courtney were fighting about that.

[Mo]

Yeah. And I, I don't know if they can patch things up, but it would be nice if Eric was in the band. Interesting. But I don't know if they'll. Courtney can hold a grudge for sure.

[Rod Ryan]

We'll see what happens. Those are Houston's headlines.

[Mo]

Take it, Alex.

[Alex]

Last night in College Hoops, number seven, U of H beat Baylor 77 to 64. On senior night. The Cougs improved to 25 and five on the season in the NBA, the Rockets will be back in action tonight. They're going to host the warriors over at the Toyota Center. They're coming into this game as nine and a half point favorites. Tip off is going to be at 6:30 and you can listen to it on our sister station Sports Talk 790. Down at Spring training, the Astros got by the Orioles yesterday four to two. They're going to play the Marlins this afternoon in Jupiter, Florida. First pitch is at 12:10 and you can hear the game on our sister station Sports Talk 790. That is what's going on in sports.

[Mo]

The Buzz rock and alternative for Houston.

[Rod Ryan]

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

[Mo]

5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan Show. Oh, I mentioned. I meant to ask you to pull up the voting to see what was going on. If you had it handy. Yes, sir, it is Throwback Thursday. We did do the song clips. Things moved around a lot after we played song clips on the air a lot. For a short period of time. Three strange days, my school of fish was leading. Where are we at now?

[Rod Ryan]

Right now, James Addiction is in the league.

[Mo]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Rod Ryan]

With 38%. Full of fish is in second with 36%. And presidents are 25%.

[Mo]

Presidents of the United States of America with lump. Interesting. Okay, winning song we played today at 9:30. L. Lots of stuff. My goodness. I'm freaked out a little bit. I mean, I'm happy. Okay. Next week is hisd spring break, so we're gonna take our. We're gonna take a week off. But there's so much to do. We got a golf tournament coming up. We got a live broadcast which we haven't done in years. We got a live broadcast coming up for St. Patrick's Day. We come back to work on Monday, and then, bam, the next day, we're broadcasting live I at St Patrick's Day. So don't worry. We got plenty of stuff recorded and reminders and all that stuff, but, yeah, Willie's grilling Ice House. We'll continue tomorrow. I got the. Okay. Free beer Friday. Yeah. VIP passes with every case of beer tomorrow.

[Rod Ryan]

How did you get those?

[Mo]

I don't know. I don't know. I am.

[Rod Ryan]

It's like your name's on the show or something.

[Mo]

I asked, and I said, listen, you know, it would be really cool if we give away tickets.

[Rod Ryan]

That's really cool.

[Mo]

In the VIP area. Mo, you had me out late last night. What the heck is going on here?

[Rod Ryan]

I warned you.

[Mo]

If you mosey on over to our Instagram at Rod Ryan show, you'll see Mo put up a ton of pictures. It says Rod touched the dirt. Yeah, I did. I was on the floor. Mo got me involved with the rodeo picture. People, I want to thank everybody out there for, number one, being so unbelievably welcoming. That was. That's the best word for it. Unbelievably welcoming to Mo and myself. Now it. It helps that I'm walking around with royalty. Alex, it's ridiculous seeing Mo work the room.

[Alex]

Queen.

[Mo]

Unbelievable. Knows everybody. Everybody knows her.

[Rod Ryan]

Melodramatic.

[Mo]

Everybody knows her. It's just like. Like, rodeo guys were coming over and talking to her. Like, dudes. Yeah, yeah. Like, he just got, like, bucked from a bull, and he came over and talked to Mo.

[Rod Ryan]

That actually did happen.

[Mo]

It did happen. He's on a horse. He was on a horse. Yeah.

[Alex]

Oh, no, just a horse.

[Rod Ryan]

That was a rope.

[Mo]

That was a big kid.

[Rod Ryan]

He was a big guy.

[Mo]

It was a big guy. Yeah. I don't remember his name, but he was really, really nice.

[Rod Ryan]

I tagged him on Instagram.

[Mo]

Mo, you got us to. To be involved in the cap scramble, which started in, like, 1942. Yes.

[Rod Ryan]

Isn't that insane?

[Mo]

So I. I learned a lot being with the rodeo people yesterday. It was super fun, but I did. I learned a lot.

[Rod Ryan]

You were like a sponge.

[Mo]

1942, they came up with an idea to have these kids run around and try to, like, bring these. These. These calves into the center square, and it's the number one. When. When they do surveys of the rodeo. It's the number one thing that people say that they like to watch. It's the number one. It's the Most entertaining thing at the rodeo. It's the kids. And they're like high school kids. We got to see them. We got to see them get hyped up. We got to see them afterwards. Fifteen kids got a 2, $500 calf. Yeah. To raise. And they were all donated.

[Rod Ryan]

It was really sweet.

[Mo]

There was donators back there.

[Rod Ryan]

Wait. We saw like the coolest story too. The girl at the very end, she was like underneath her calf, trying to holster it and bring it in. And she couldn't get up and she lost the calf. And at the very end, she got it. And everyone, the whole stadium is cheering for this girl.

[Mo]

So these unreal.

[Rod Ryan]

These are unreal.

[Mo]

They're about. You gotta think. These are high school kids and that's a football field. It was probably 50, 50 split set of boys and girls. And These calves are 250 pounds. Okay. The average weight is 250 pounds. Not one kid was 200 pounds. No. Okay. Not one kid was 180. And they gotta try to get these things and maneuver them. And you're, you're on the ground floor and you're seeing them charge at the children

[Rod Ryan]

and because they're just standing there. Bring it on.

[Mo]

I can't imagine. There were a couple of. There were a couple of girls and a couple of the boys that I bet were about £100.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah, they were little.

[Mo]

It's a 250 pound calf coming at them. And then they stop at a certain point and then they start chasing them around. And it's really fun. It's funny. But boy, those kids worked. They hadn't changed the T shirt that the kids wear since the 40s.

[Rod Ryan]

Yeah.

[Mo]

And they tell them, don't wash it with the dirt and everything. Put it in a frame. There's only so many of those people that have been able to do this over the years. You know, it was a really cool thing behind the scenes. We had to get there at 4:30 and they left nothing to chance. You know, it's a show. It is an. It's the biggest rodeo in the world. So this thing runs so efficiently. We got there at 4:30 and we were going from room to room to room and all these different things and there's all these different stages to get ready for the kids to go down for the cash scramble. They don't leave anything to chance at all.

[Rod Ryan]

They thought of everything.

[Mo]

They absolutely do. And it's. It is. There's a pageantry involved with it because everyone's a board member and everyone gets up there and Has a speech. And the amount of volunteers is overwhelming for me to find out that there's 35, 000 people that volunteer their time for this. But the cops that volunteer, oh my goodness, they're already working their butts off. And then they're volunteering for all the days and getting the kids all hyped up and stuff like that. It was like boot camp. They were yelling like, are you gonna catch a cat? I mean, they were screaming like boot camp to get these kids motivated. And they. By the end of it, and it was. It was military appreciation night.

[Rod Ryan]

Armed Forces appreciation night. Alex.

[Mo]

There was a couple of guys.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh my goodness.

[Mo]

There was a couple of guys that had so much hardware on them, I

[Rod Ryan]

didn't even want to look at him. I was like so nervous.

[Mo]

One of them had three stars. So that was a three star general right there. And then, you know, I'm asking our guy that was walking us around, he was. Rob was a marine. So I'm like, dude, what is that, man? That's like four up and three down. What does that mean? Like, I, you know, I'm looking at. I. I never saw more hardware on. On a guy's chest and on his arms and everything. And he was kind of like, this guy's. This. This is this. This is this.

[Rod Ryan]

That was so cool.

[Mo]

It was really an incredible thing to be down there on the. On the floor and everything. It was really fun.

[Rod Ryan]

I really see it.

[Alex]

Get to do this with you later next year.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, you want to do it, dude, let's get it. Let's get it. Let's make it happen.

[Alex]

I mean, I never did.

[Mo]

She is the absolute queen. I'm sure she could make just about got anything happen out there I would love.

[Rod Ryan]

[Mo]

[Alex]

You thought you ran Monster Jam.

[Mo]

Yeah. Yeah. It's like, okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Everyone's so nice.

[Mo]

I'm just like, I'm just walking in Mo's wake. I'm just, I'm surfing on her wake when she's walking through it everywhere over there. She knows everybody. Every guy at the door, every. Every security dude, everyone. She knows every person there and knows her way around too. Like, we're like in the tunnels.

[Rod Ryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Mo]

Did you get lost?

[Rod Ryan]

Did you get lost last night going home alone?

[Mo]

Yeah, because I didn't have you.

[Rod Ryan]

I had to watch the show. I wanted to watch Rascal Flap, my favorite. Oh, you know Rascal Flats.

[Mo]

I know this one. So they were pulling out the stage and they had guys rappelling. And that's when I said, oh, my goodness. I mean, it's a mile walk to the purple lot and that's a good spot. Driving home and everything else. So by the time you had texted me. Let me look at my phone here. Yeah, it had to be close to 10. They said that the. Everything with the rodeo was running behind.

[Rod Ryan]

It was late.

[Mo]

It's a live show.

[Rod Ryan]

My husband said the bolt, I guess he was watching. They were kind of slow looking around. You just never know. You're kind of at the mercy of how all the other events.

[Mo]

Mo, at 9:38, you good? I feel bad abandoning you.

[Rod Ryan]

I felt so bad.

[Mo]

I said. And then I got back to you. It was 10:03. I'm home. I'm ready to get in the shower, then I'm going to bed. So it was 10. Oh, it was 10:03. And I had the water running and

[Rod Ryan]

I'm like showering and brushing my teeth. Felt so good last night.

[Mo]

And your life is a highway going on, right? And I'm getting in the shower.

[Rod Ryan]

It was awesome. They did a really good job.

[Mo]

It's a lot.

[Alex]

It sounds like a lot of fun.

The last time that they were on stage, there was a fist fight between the lead singer and the guitar player. And I did hear some. Some rumblings that maybe Jane's addiction would continue. Can you continue Jane's Addiction without Perry Farrell? I don't think so.

A cheese doodle is puffy. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes.

[Mo]

Okay.

[Rod Ryan]

Just saying. I'm over here munching on my corn dog, trying not to get photographed, and Rod's over there shoving a stick of meat in his mouth.

[Mo]

But I took. I didn't know that it came. The guy handed it to me and I went, what? I didn't see the cotton candy part. So it was. Was candied bacon on a stick. Pretty thick. Pretty thick. Well, you can see there's a picture of it. I took the cotton candy off of it and I threw it in the garbage. I'm like, no, this is. This is the most ridiculous thing ever. Like, the shame that I would feel eating cotton candy. I would not be able to. I would not be able to put it. I would not be able to articulate. I would not be able to share with you how I would feel about myself if I actually ate cotton candy. So I really ripped that off of it, but ate the bacon. There's a picture. Mo's got a lot of pictures of us from our rodeo experience last night. It was awesome. It was really, really cool. That bacon was killing. That's all I had for dinner. That was my dinner.

[Alex]

Pretty good dinner.

[Rod Ryan]

[Rod Ryan]

Thank you.

[Mo]

Thank you, Raymond. So we played the clip for you. I didn't even know we still had it. I mean, Alex curates this stuff and he saved it for such a long time. I checked, it goes, it dates back to 2007 and it was just the Jimmy Dean whatever phone number was on the back of the sausage. This guy called it and then somebody got a hold of the audio.

[Caller/Guest]

I don't know where you people come from. I don't know. If you test your products, your quantity of your product, your products. Very delicious. Love your sausage for 30 something years, but I can't take and feed a family of five on a little 12 ounce roll of sausage. I don't mind paying you more money for your 16 ounce roll of sausage, but you don't have it anymore. You've got a 12 ounce roll and you got three men that weigh over 200 pounds a piece. A woman that's a little plump Scotch girl. And a daughter who's 13. And you're going to try to take a 12 ounce roll of sausage and a couple of dozen eggs and feed that. It ain't going to work. And I'm not going to purchase your product anymore or ever again.

[Mo]

Now that's just real. That's the first 40 seconds. It's a two minute call. There's. There's brilliance all over that call. It's amazing. We already played it for you.
