Transcript

[A]

94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. Jelly roll need a favor. 50% chance of scattered thunderstorms for your tattoosday. It is a local gal in there for our tattoo Tuesday feature. Is that Josh Tree that sent that in?

[B]

Yeah, Josh Tree.

[A]

He's got a good eye. He's got a good eye. Highs today of around 90. We're gonna play chicks versus dudes next hour. It's gonna be for the floor tickets to bring me the horizon. All Mo wants to know is what's my role in this?

[C]

What do I need to be prepar.

[A]

Have to know. Don't you worry about it. Don't worry about it.

[C]

Always worry.

[A]

But I would like some Houston's headlines out of you, please.

[C]

I can think I can do that.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Jimmy Kimmel Live will return to the airwaves tonight. Disney slash. ABC says the show is suspended because of Jimmy's comments regarding Charlie Kirk. Calling them ill timed and thus insensitive. ABC said, quote, we've spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy and after those conversations they reached a decision to return the show today. Obviously Jimmy is expected to address the situation. Situation when he hits the stage tonight. But will we see it here locally? We don't actually really know.

[A]

I don't know who owns the local affiliate here. So people are getting confused. If you've, if you've seen this name Sinclair being thrown around.

[C]

Sinclair Broadcasting.

[A]

Sinclair owns the television stations in the cities.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

Okay. Disney is the parent company. They're the one that put Jimmy Kimmel out there. And then these different affiliates, they can choose what they run.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So there are, there's this company called Sinclair that has the ABC affiliate stations. They own them in big cities.

[C]

Right.

[A]

And they are choosing not to run Jimmy Kimmel tonight.

[C]

So.

[A]

So yeah, it's just kind of like.

[C]

Insider stream it if you really wanted to watch it.

[A]

Yeah, I mean he's back on live. We're hearing that Gavin Newsome is going to be on. That is a rumor, but he's going to. I mean I imagine they're writing around the clock and getting this show ready to go. So everyone wants to hear what his comments are. You know, I don't think if you're tuning in to hear Jimmy apologize, I don't think he would agree to that.

[C]

No. And they initially said that was going to be one of the stipulations, but that and a donation is what they are requiring.

[A]

I do not hear him apologizing tonight. I don't think he would come back if that was. If Those were the requirements.

[C]

We shall see. Hey. The Trump administration announced yesterday that pregnant women's use of acetaminophen. Did I nail that?

[A]

I think so.

[C]

Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. They're saying it may be linked to an increased risk of autism in children. Speaking from the Oval Office alongside the Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And other officials, Trump said the FDA will issue a physician notice about the risks doing about using it during pregnancy, unless women have a fever. So they're working on some new studies with autism. We'll see what comes out of that. In much lighter news, do you have a favorite beach or mountain? Maybe just like a vacation that you take every single year?

[A]

I mean, I've been to Hawaii once. I'd love to go every year. I can't. I can't afford that. Four Seasons. Are you kidding me?

[C]

I've been to Galveston about once a year.

[B]

I would say I can afford right now.

[C]

It turns out a lot of people, like one in three Americans, are going to the same vacation spot every year because they're familiar with it. It's called repeat traveling. I don't know why we're giving it a title.

[A]

I mean, I go to New Orleans all the time.

[C]

That's true.

[A]

Is that a. Like, I'm popping it, I'm going there this weekend?

[C]

Yes. I would say that's fair to say.

[A]

It's not a vacation, but kind of.

[C]

You'Re getting away from your regular everyday life. You know, the place is there. You kind of feel like a local because, you know, like, where to go to your favorite restaurant, which back roads to take if you want to get around traffic. That's why people are doing this repeat traveling.

[A]

I guess if you have a timeshare or you have a condo somewhere, that would be easy. It's just. It seems weird to me, like, you just know where you're gonna vacation. There's no question. There's. You're not going anywhere else. You're going to that same spot over and over again.

[C]

You love it a lot.

[A]

I love New Orleans and I love. I love going to my place there. Right. It's just. I want to see other things. I don't want to just do that.

[C]

If I only have so many weeks during a year, I want to go try other things if I have that luxury.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't know. Let's talk about John Cena.

[B]

Can't see me.

[C]

That a dad joke that he just tried to make?

[A]

No, I think that's just his thing. Like you can't see me. I don't know.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's the John he I know. He doesn't have kids. Okay. He's 48 years old.

[A]

You can't see his kids.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because he doesn't have.

[B]

Wow. He wears camels, too.

[C]

Apparently. He likes to talk about this, and it's becoming more and more of a thing, and his fans are having his back on this. He doubled down on a re at a recent appearance, saying, I'm going to give you some insight into my life. I've been working straight 43 days. I've got another 20 to go. So if I were to bring a life into this world that needs nurturing and love, I can't do that. That would be an irresponsible choice. Fans are praising him because they're saying so many other famous people, they said men in general are producing kids, like, it's no big thing. And not taking into consideration all these things that John Cena sing.

[A]

I don't think he has to explain himself, nor does anybody that doesn't that makes a decision not to have kids. I don't think you owe an explanation to anybody.

[C]

Is that a question he gets asked a lot, or do you just feel like he needs to explain it?

[A]

Now? There are celebrities that famously seem to bring it up. I mentioned Chelsea Handler. Like, that's a big part of her comedy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And if you follow her on Social, which I used to, she's just walking around smoking weed at, you know, one o' clock in the afternoon. She's like, you know why I can do this? Because I don't have any kids. And it's like, she's always making fun of people that do have kids.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Seth Rogen recently has been making comments about why him and his wife don't have kids. I don't know if he's being pressed in interviews for it, but he just said, it's just not our plan. It's not what we want.

[C]

Do you.

[A]

There's nothing wrong with that. Right.

[B]

And I think John Cena is retiring from wrestling this year. So that's probably why they're asking him.

[C]

After you retire, are you gonna have kids?

[B]

Because he's doing like a big. Like, WWE is doing like a big tour, like, hey, his last year, his last fight.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So, you know, so that's probably why they're asking him, well, now that you retired, are you going to have kids? But he's into acting.

[A]

I'm saying, like, I don't see his schedule slowing down.

[C]

Absolutely not. He loves It. All right, let's talk about My Chemical Romance. A big announcement. Yesterday they announced 17 new tour dates for their Black Parade 2026 tour. It celebrates the 20th anniversary of their landmark album. Tons of stadiums across the country, but they're skipping Houston. It doesn't matter. You know what? Fans are still excited because they're going to be in San Antonio at the Alamo Dome next September. And we will have your tickets all week long. My Chemical Romance. Those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

Shelley takes that personally. When. When these bands are playing and they're playing around Houston and then specifically not coming to Houston. Chili, that bothers you?

[B]

It bothers me because it's like, hey, look, man, I mean, look, I know everybody else got to go somewhere else, but when you come to Texas, you've got to go Austin and Dallas and Houston, period. That's just kind.

[A]

You're not even including San Antonio, which is a huge market.

[B]

Yeah, but that's like a short drive for them to come over here, right?

[C]

Scheduling. I don't know. They could add more.

[A]

Yeah, I. I see your point. There's. There's some bands I don't know that they got it out for. Maybe Pearl Jam does for some reason, but other than that, I don't know if bands have it out for Houston. All right, Chili's holding down the sports desk. What you got?

[B]

All right, man. So on Monday Night Football, the Lions beat the Ravens 38, 30. You know, Detroit ran for four touchdowns and their defense sack Lamar Jackson seven times. Oh, no. Hey, there was me, PO Lamar Jackson, he feels what CJ feels. And some other sports news. The Astros are back in action today. So come on, Astro fans, let's cheer him up.

[A]

Dude, I think there's six games left. They're all away, and we got to win them all. We have to run the table.

[B]

Yeah, we have to beat them all for a chance for us to make it to the playoffs.

[A]

That's just for wild card now.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. So come on, Astros, it's time to get it. Corre, there was a perfect time for you to show up. Why? They got you back. This is it.

[A]

I agree.

[B]

Yeah, you know, step it up. They'll open up a three game series with the Ace today in Sacramento. Christian Javier will be on the mound for the Astros. He'll be going against athletics. Jeffrey springs the first pitch as a 905. You can listen to the game on our sister station sports talk 790 and use radio 740k, KTR age. And in some basketball news, we got some bad news for the Rockets, man. Rockets point guard Fred Van Bleep tore his ATL in an off season workout and could miss all of the season. Well, I'm starting my training right now so the Rockets can come pick me. I'm ready to take. Yeah.

[C]

Thank you for that sacrifice.

[B]

I'm gonna be.

[A]

You're running the boards.

[B]

I. I'll be the best.

[A]

You're up and down.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, man. I go hard in the paint like Carmelo.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Yes. That's the sports news here on 94. 5.

[A]

Thank you, Houston's Rock, Houston's Alternative, and the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[A]

I mean, with Chili in here, it's a party. Okay, stop.

[B]

Let's start with the tequila.

[A]

It is a non stop.

[A]

Thank you to Carla, who is in the Chili bowl.

[B]

[B]

I showered.

[A]

You clean up a little bit.

[B]

You know, it would smell nice in there.

[C]

I was gonna say I use Lysol, so you're fine.

[B]

I love the wipes. The Clorox wipes right there. She feel free to do.

[A]

Chili's in the room with us. Alex is off having his baby today. As he would. He would correct me. He'd be quick to correct me and say that Emma is having a baby today, but I would say that they're having their baby today, baby number two. And Alex, being the animal that he is, came in this morning, got everything set up, moved the things around, did what he does, and then he was here for most of homeroom, and then boom, he. He was going to pick up his wife and then go to the hospital. And then they're having a kid today.

[B]

They should have checked in by now.

[A]

Did he give us. I didn't squeeze him too much on.

[C]

This because I. I did. I asked him a million questions. I know you're shocked.

[A]

So is there like a. An ETA, like an arrival time of baby number two?

[C]

Yes. So she should be wheeled back around 10. We should hear back around noon. That's if I don't hear anything by noon, I'm going to start panicking.

[A]

Okay, so noon baby's coming today.

[B]

Today's the day.

[A]

It's so wild to have it scheduled.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, very different than last time.

[A]

His first one was the way that I did it. You just kind of. You get nudged over. Naturally, it's time, you know? But for me, it wasn't like the movies where it's like you're. You're sleeping all of a sudden, and.

[C]

Then all of a sudden, we gotta go.

[B]

You run out and take off and then forget the wife.

[A]

My wife was. My wife was awake for a couple of hours. She said, yeah, before she woke me up. She goes, okay, we gotta go. And I'm like, is it times? It's actually like, calm down. I've been up for two. At least two hours.

[C]

I'm handling this alone.

[A]

I'm just sleep. And then. So. But, I mean, we had the bag ready to go, and I know Alex did it that way, too. Did you have a bag ready, Packed and ready to go? And boom, down the street.

[B]

See, I would have just put that in the trunk of the car.

[C]

Car to be ready.

[B]

So in case, you know, you don't forget it, you're just like, all right, let's go. Be like, hurry up, woman.

[A]

All right. All our best to our brother.

[C]

Oh, my word. I'm so excited.

[A]

My little brother, Alex P. With baby number two coming today. So exciting. So obviously he. He, like, he wanted to come in and do some stuff. I said, I don't want to see you here this week. I go, you're not allowed to come in. He did the same thing last time where he wanted to come in. He's like, I'll just come in in the morning and do. I'm like, no, I don't want to see you this week.

[B]

We'll live with Chile.

[A]

I don't want to see you. Unless things go horribly wrong with Chilean here. Then I will say, just get. Get your ass in here for an hour or two.

[C]

Hey, could you maybe y' all move.

[B]

The birth to Jane studio?

[A]

Listen, I got you set up right here. Bring the kid in, we'll be fine.

[B]

We got a microphone for Emma.

[A]

Absolutely. All right, well, Shelly's doing a fine job, and that's Carla answering the phones for us. So I do want to play a game today. I know it's risky, but I think we can pull it off. I'm going to explain everything about winning these floor tickets to bring me The Horizon. That shows Friday night, right?

[C]

Yes, Toyota Center.

And that's Chili over there for Alex. P. Chili P. Chili. Chili P. Guatemala. What's trending?

[B]

Well, of course everybody knows Jimmy Kimmel's back on air. So that's a top trend for everything.

[A]

Is it confirmed that Gavin Newsom is going to be the guest or is it just one of those things that people are assuming?

[B]

It's just a rumor, everybody. I mean, who knows if it's true or not. Somebody might have just posted something on online and everybody's running with it.

[A]

It's going to be big ratings. It's going to get a lot of eyes on it tonight for sure.

[B]

So that's the rumor that California government governor Gavin Newsom will be a guest today on the Kimmel show. What else? So that's what's going on. Also, here's another cool story. The trending in the Mandaloria and Grogu trailer was dropped yesterday. And I know you're a big Star wars fan, Rod, but this is the first look at Jabba the Hutt's son, Rada or Rota.

[A]

Where's Jabba's junk that he made a son?

[B]

Hey, he's got a son.

[A]

I saw he had a plan. That's the first thing I thought of is like where Java is like who got to his junk that he made a kid.

[B]

But I'm not gonna lie looking at the picture that they show with son. Yeah, it's kind of built like me. He's got a little bit of arm muscle and chest muscle and then he goes downhill from there. So that's training. And then to finish it, we're going to finish on some kind of like a feel good story.

[C]

Please.

[B]

James Vanderbilt Vanderbeek, which was Dawson, the star of Dawson Creek. He. They were doing a reunion for a cancer charity event. Yeah. And at the last minute he dropped out, say his health, you know, and everything. So people were kind of sad about it. But then I guess he made a surprise appearance.

[C]

Yeah, I sent in a video.

[B]

Yeah, so people are talking about that.

[A]

He looks frail, huh? Yeah.

Thank you.

[A]

You played brilliant, brilliantly today. But Joe's gonna be the winner. So apparently he's gifting these tickets on the floor. It's Bring me the Horizon and all the bands and ones that you mentioned on Friday night. Joe, way to hang in there, bro. Way to hang in there. Really evenly matched up today, right? That's why. Good job, Martha. That's why you got to write a hundred questions for this damn game. Only needed three, but I wrote a hundred. Thanks, guys.

[C]

Houston's Rock an alternative and the Rod ryan Morning Show.

[A]

6 to 10am, the buzz 94. 5 the buzz. Good morning Rod Ryan show. I got some reviews of chicks versus Dudes today.

[C]

Oh, I'm curious.

[A]

Ashley knew all the answers, both dudes and chicks, but she said it was the best chicks versus Dudes ever. Oh, wow. Okay then. It's funny how you guys know all the insider stuff around here. Laura says that was. That game was long af. You're gonna need to see the Radio wizard after the show today. Stop it. Yeah, he is gonna thank you because that's a truism. Okay, like that's gonna happen. The game went a little long. Maybe we could. Why don't you sit down with me and we'll rework the questions. That's gonna happen. I'm in trouble for that. For as long as that. That game took too long.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Mo's over here having a good time. Everybody's having a good time. They're all laughing away, hysterical. This game's going a little long, Greg. Greg says now Rod knows how all the Rod Ryan show co hosts feel when the listeners burn through all the fresh out of bed, head to head questions.

[C]

Thank you very much.

[A]

Yeah, I got a little taste of that. It's like, come on, you're using all my questions. Good morning, everybody. I thought it was a fun game. I do recognize that it went a little long, but it was fun.

[B]

What am I gonna do?

[A]

They kept tying.

[C]

We had to go, oh, we need.

[A]

To work on that game. All right, Here we go. 50 chance of scattered thunderstorms today. Highs of around 90. Mo one final time. Houston's headlines Please.

[C]

Thank you so much. Jimmy Kimmel Live will return to the airwaves tonight. Disney, slash. ABC says the show is suspended because Jimmy's comments regarding Charlie Kirk were, quote, ill timed and thus insensitive. ABC said, quote, we spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday, unquote. Obviously, Jimmy is expected to address the situation when he hits the stage tonight.

[A]

Now, I didn't know the story was happening. Alex had left, and we have something for this story.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I told Chili, I said, you have two hours to get me what I need.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

And my guy came through. Yes. For this government shutdown. Oh, my God, Is there a government shutdown?

[C]

There's been so many headlines. I don't know how I missed that. We are approaching a potential government shutdown. Trump's expected to meet with top Democratic officials this week. The deadline for the potential shutdown is September 30th, and I guess their meeting comes after both the House and Senate failed to pass funding measures. So the Democratic leaders demanded a meeting, and they accused Trump of directing Republicans to, quote, jam a partisan spending deal down the throats of American people without Democratic input. So we'll see when that meeting takes place and if we get any sort of resolution.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

Thank you for the song. Yeah, Julie, that really made.

[A]

Great job tracking that down. Can I go home?

[C]

No, I think.

[A]

Oh, no. Another hour.

[C]

Hey, you want to exercise more? You just got to go to bed earlier. I honestly, honest to God, thought this headline might be a new study that was going to tell me that sleep could replace exercise.

[A]

You thought it was going to be sleep more and you don't need to exercise at all.

[B]

Look at this six pack right here.

[C]

That's not what the study is about, Chili. I'm sorry. The study says folks that go to bed earlier are more likely to get exercise the next day because they're more rested. Duh. They tracked over 20, 000 people, and the ones who went to bed by 9pm got, on average, 30 more minutes of exercise. Rod, you've been saying this forever. Early birds are the ones that are on top of their business.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

They're taking their lives and their health more seriously. So stop scrolling and get some rest. As of yesterday, it's officially fall. And, Rod, I didn't do the math, but I'm pretty sure it's only 38 days until Halloween, your favorite holiday.

[A]

I do love it.

[C]

So your daughter London is eight, right? Seven. Okay, I keep forgetting kids. I'm not gonna know the names of my kids. I found a list of scary movies by age group and little kids ages 2 to 7 should see these. Top four. Tell me what you think. It's the Great Pumpkin. Charlie Brown, which is just old.

[A]

It moves a little slow. The pacing of kids cartoons these days, they not only look different, but the pacing is different.

[C]

I don't know if my kids will watch it.

[A]

I think she just thinks it's okay. It's all. It's a. It's a background one for us.

[C]

Hotel Transylvania.

[A]

Loves it.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Those are in fact Adam Sandler's highest grossing movies.

[C]

Wait, what?

[A]

Adam Sandler's top three highest grossing movies are his Hotel Hotel Transylvania movies.

[C]

Is he an actor in them or did he direct them or what?

[A]

They're his movies. All his buddies do all the voices.

[C]

No way.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Good for him. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, which is from 1949.

[A]

My kid ain't gonna watch that.

[C]

Mine either. Monsters Inc. Is the number four on this list.

[A]

That's a good one.

[C]

I think so.

[A]

That's a good one. But I don't associate that with Halloween so much.

[C]

No, no.

[A]

It's an all year round movie fair.

[C]

If you like the full list broken down by age group, we'll post it up. All right. The best story of the day.

[A]

It is the best story we've heard of.

[C]

Make a wish for kiddos. Right. They do great things. But have you ever heard of AARP's wish of a Lifetime program? It's very similar. Okay, hear me out. A 70 year old woman battling cancer was gifted tickets to see her favorite band through this program. So she chose to see Nine Inch Nails. Yeah. Ms. Carla is battling an aggressive breast cancer and she's known for being just like a saint of a human. At her senior living center, she's helping out the other folks while she's going through so much. So she was nominated by some of her caretakers. Huge fan of heavy music, particularly Nine Inch Nails. She has a Nine Inch Nails logo. There it is tattooed on her body.

[A]

Yep. So this can't be her favorite band. Oh yeah. Scope out the ink.

[B]

Take that.

[A]

We should have her up for tattoos day today. Oh my God.

[B]

You're finally.

[C]

And tell her story. She received floor tickets for the show last week in Phoenix. Got to see the whole show just feet away from her. Sending her all of our love.

[A]

She's on the music blog page. Is she.

[C]

Is there a picture of her?

[A]

I also have a 109-year-old nun golfing on the Looking at Girls blog page. Yes. Just if you're looking for some different, you know, some alternative I like it.

[C]

Things, those are Houston's headlines.

[A]

You are the perfect drug. Chilli. You're my perfect drug. Oh. What do you got? Sports?

[B]

Well you know Monday Night Football, the Lions beat the Ravens 38 to 30. Detroit score four touchdowns. They've rented in four touchdowns. And the defense, the Lions defense sack Lamar Jackson seven times.

[A]

The story is Derrick Henry and fumbling the the games away. Yeah, I mean it's Derrick Henry is one of the best if not the best back in all of football and for some reason he has fumbled away two games now.

[B]

Oh man. But he'll bounce back. It's early in the season. You know. He'll get that under control. He'll get that under control. He's a professional. And baseball news, the Astros are back in action tonight. They're gonna open a three game series with the ace in Sacramento. We got Christian Javier will be on the mound for the Astros and he'll be going against the Athletics. Jeffrey Springs. The first pitch is at 905. You can listen to the game on our sister Station Sports Talk 790 and News Radio 740 KTRH. Now switching it up a little bit to basketball news. Rockets got kicked in the marbles yesterday when they found out that their guard Fred Van Vliet tore his ACL in a practice off season practice.

[A]

Not good. Not good.

[B]

We got his expected to miss the whole season but we do have Kevin Durant so we, we should be good.

[A]

The real mvp.

[B]

Yeah, Kevin Durant. So we'll see what is going on with that. And that's the sport. So 945 the buzz mo is not.

[A]

Giving away these machine Gun Kelly tickets yet and they're they're winning before they go on sale tickets because they're going to be available to everyone on Thursday. We'll have those for you coming up at around 9:10. So sit tight. The Buzz Rock and alternative for Houston.
