The Rod Ryan Show – "The Chile Brown Game"

Air Date: October 7, 2025
Station: 94.5 The Buzz (KTBZ-FM)

Episode Overview

This lively episode of The Rod Ryan Show features the much-anticipated "Chile Brown Game," an annual event coinciding with the autumn season. The game centers around cohost Chile’s unique—some might say infamous—reading of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," made exponentially harder to understand as he crams his mouth full of candy corn. Listeners call in to guess how many pieces are stuffed in his mouth, with the closest guess winning a special prize.

Tone: Playfully tormented, silly, with classic morning-show camaraderie and barbed yet affectionate banter.
