I asked you.

So we'll play Freeway.

Fun stuff done at Marty groarg Galbiston in a couple of weeks. We'll talk about that at the end of the show. Right now, I got my man Alex over here holding down Houston's headlines. What you got, Good morning ride, Good morning home room. Mark Fogel, the American teacher that was held in Russia for three and a half years, is back in the US after being released. Fogo had been sentenced to fourteen years in prison in Russia after a small amount of medical cannabis was found in his luggage.
The US condemned his sentence and called it a wrongful detention. President Trump called the terms of Fogo's release very fair, he confirmed last night while he awaited well to welcome back Focal to the United States.
And there's mused to be somebody an announcement of somebody being released to one.
Okay, cool, that's awesome. President Donald Trump also signed an executive order yesterday granting Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to increase its authority over federal hiring and downsizing initiatives. The order mandates that most new federal hires received the department's approval, aiming to streamline government operations and reduce waste. Musk defended the aggressive cost cutting measures, acknowledging some errors
but emphasizing the need for their actions. The restructuring by the Department of Government Efficiency has led to significant budget cuts and layoffs, with legal challenges blocking or reversing some of the decisions that have already been made so far. According to the site bet MGM, the Philadelphia Eagles are the favorites to win next year's Super Bowl at plus six fifty odds. Does the winner.
Always become of the following season.
Yeah, which means they're absolute frauds and just like they were overrated if they don't win it now, So no precious, no pressure. Chief's on Philly are not even the second favorite. Ravens had the second best odds to win it, followed by the Chiefs and Bills, who are tied for third. The the Lions are fourth, and the forty to nine Ers are fifth. The Texans had the tenth best odds
to win the Big Game. If you put one hundred dollars or the Texans to win the Super Bowl, you'd win twenty five hundred on top of that, hundred acter set Rogan doesn't understand why people care about his decision not to have kids, saying, quote, if you hate me so much, why do you want more of me? He had been pretty outspoken about not wanting to have kids and got some backlash for it. Rogan also went on to say, you should just have kids if you really
want kids, and we just don't really want kids. Time kept going on, and by the moment where we were just like, let's do it never kept happening.
I do think it's weird that you would attack somebody for their stance on not wanting to have children.
It's weird. You'll understand it to your parents. You can't love like I hate those people. I hate those people like I absolutely understand the appeal of not having a kid. You're like, I can sleep whenever I want, I can do this, I don't have to worry. Who does get why people choose that? Chelsea Handler does that?
Yeah, Chelsea Handler's like, I'm single, I don't have kids. I can wake up and smoke weed and do whatever I want, run around in my paonies.
I like having a kid, but I understand the appeal of not having Yeah, absolutely get that.
It's also weird that Seth Rogan made the announcement that, like, hey, me and my wife, we don't want to have kids. We like doing this this whatever, we can do whatever. So you know that people on the internet are gonna have feelings about it.
Right, So it's a lot of it seems like it could have been rage bait, but I'm not sure.
Yeah.
The life of late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton was celebrated with Cliff Burton Day and what would have been his sixty third birthday over the weekend.

Hi go Yeah, I just had to Joe Accord Hi Branding, good morning. I don't have a lot of time with you, but you got the first phone call. How are you today?
Doing great? I just want to talk about Dave King and the whole flogging Molly situation. A complicating factor is that, but get this Flogging Molly. They do an iris Last Punk Rock cruise every year.
Wait time out, let me just see that. Hang on, let me just make sure our audience, everybody knows what's going on here. Dave King is the lead singer sure of Flogging Molly.
And then I.
Shared with everybody that I'm a big fan of this old band, this old rock band called fast Way. He was a kid, he was the lead singer a fast Way, but most of his career has been spent being the lead singer of Flogging Molly. And they've had to cancel everything in twenty twenty five due to Dave King's health. We don't know specifically what it is, but you're telling me there's a cruise involved that is also going to be that they're obviously they're not playing it.
If they were scheduled, well, its sales out of Miami this Sunday, so they had to make a decision. The rest of the band is going to be on it, and they're gonna do some sets, but I mean, the cruise has other bands on it, so I would imagine they're gonna have guest spots and other bands helping them out.
Is it is it built as a flogging Molly cruise.
Are they the headliner and it's their cruise?
They they are the headliner, It is their cruise. Why that is awesome? And there's a global community rod that goes on this thing every year and I'm part of it.
Is it? Is it Irish centric? Because they are an Irish rock band?
I mean? Is it?
So?
Did they kind of do it every other year? That's like this year they're doing more Irish centric. So but we know, who knows what's gonna happen in the future, But every other year they do more like old school hardcore punk.
Would we know any of the other bands? Would we know any of the other bands that are on the bill?
Well, it depends on how how I went to punk. You are. There's a band called the Street Dogs. We're excited about them being on it this year.
Okay, short answer, probably not. Most of us won't know the other bands.
Yeah, probably not.
Okay, well yeah we we alex.
We've covered this.
Well, The Offspring was on it two years ago.
Okay, yeah, yeah, we've covered Dave King. We said that we can't remember if he was either on like a bud Light Weenie Roast, the Floggy Molly. They played the middle of the day. Either that or a buzzfest. I can't remember. I've seen them live. They're great, and like I said, I don't know how much it was a buzzfest.
Okay. And then were you a fan of his working fast Way? I mean, like that's.
Old, but he was that is before my time.
He was a kid. When I'm saying a kid, he was twenty one twenty two, the lead singer a fast Way and they had some hits. Dude, you should go check some of that stuff out. It's just straight up rock band stuff, all right, dude, I appreciate it. Have a good time on that cruise. I did not know that they did their own cruise, but I do know that Floggy Molly has a huge, massive following, and we wish Dave King the best on the.
Flip got a reck check for you.
We'll find out what's trading and then we'll get set up for our fresh out of bed head to head.
Houston's Rock Houston's.
Alternative and tell him at the rod Ryan Morning shown the Bus.
All right, welcome back rod Ryan Show on this Wildcard Wednesday. Thanks for being up, Dark, Moist and early with us. I know how much you love moist, but that's what we got. Ninety percent chance of thunderstorms. It's gonna kind of be drizzly and rainy and skanky for most of our morning, and then ten o'clock is when we're really going to see some thunderstorms come down. Um, let's find out what's trending. Have you seen Pete Davidson recently?
I saw him at the Super Bowl wearing Eagles stuff, even though he supposed to be a Giants fan. I don't like that.
Okay, well, but he was fully clothed. He's doing some ads now. He's got all his tattoos removed.
I know he had started removing. I didn't know he got him all done yet. Two hundred thousand dollars, he said.
I'm starting to see a bunch of shirtless Pete Davidson.
He looks like he's kind of hitting the gym too.
Yeah, but ask anybody about tattoo removal, they'll say it's way worse than getting a tattoo. And he had him. We all know he had him everywhere. Over two hundred grand, he said to get rid of it. So I don't know how much makeup is involved, but it's weird to see him like not one tattoo on him.
Yeah, he's got him all removed. Yeah, so I'm seeing that around, but else we'll not gonna be training. Then Mark Fogel is training the American teacher that was held in Russia for three and a half years. He's back in the United States after Trump made a deal. And then also trending is Harry Balls. What Harry Balls is trending because Elon Musk changed his name on X to Harry Bowles Bolz and then Seeing ended a whole segment on it where they said Harry Balls like twenty times,
and then it was a viral video. So that's what I got from that, and that's it's training. And I even buy the buzz.
The fact that these billionaires still like to troll. I don't know if it's all the billionaires. I think it's this specific one definitely does.
Okay, the President's a billionaire. He likes to show. All right, all right, bring our guy over here.

Houston's headlines, good morning, Good morning, Home room. Mark Fogel, the American teacher that was held in Russia for three and a half years, is back in the US after being released. Fogel had been sentenced to fourteen years in prison in Russia after a small amount of medical cannabis was found in his luggage. The US condemned his sentence
and called it a wrongful detention. President Trump called the terms of Fogel's release very fair, and he confirmed last night while he awaited fogel arrival, two children and an adult male were hurt in a shooting in southeast Houston last night. It all happened outside of an apartment complex near south Way Drive and Telephone Road. HPD says that three to four male suspects tried to rob the man
and ended up shooting and stabbing him. They then ran across the two boys and then shot and stabbed the two of them. The man in his thirties is in his thirties and the two boys are twelve and fifteen. All three victims were taken to the hospital and are expected to recover. Police are still looking for the suspects, though they were believed to all be wearing black.
I saw that this morning, Like the first thing that I saw when I woke up this morning showed.
Twelve and a fifteen year old. Come on, man, it's just not that anybody should be shot or stabbed, but twelve and fifteen, come on. Yeah, it was rough news to wake up to to that. Google just released some Valentine's Day stats that show some surprising new trends, like most women saying that they would prefer to stay in this Valentine's Day.
No, no, no, I don't like this at all. I want you all to come out and join us at Cactus Cove. Yeah, I'm fry.
I think this is I don't. I don't believe this because I feel like if you're like, I'll just do this, she's gonna be like, well, you could have taken me in a night's restaurant.
But this does this go hand in hand with the you know me getting ready to go out, and then it's kermit the fraud lane in bed.
Like people don't want to go out? Is that what it might be? I'm not sure, but uh yes. So sixty of women prefer to stay inside. They say that staying at home sounds more fun than going out. Fifty five percent of man agreed, and sixty two percent of those women say that they think a home cooked meal is more romantic than a fancy restaurant.
Okay, so they're still wanting to do something to celebrate Valentine's Day, just don't necessarily have to go out.
My wife is cool. She likes it when I cook for her on Valentine's Day, So that's what I'm doing Okay, cool, but she's not really high maintenance, and I think a lot of people that might be high maintenance would want to go to the fancy restaurant. I want you to spend a lot of money. Yeah, okay, all right, what are these other trends? Fifty two percent of women think that Valentine's Day proposals are overrated, So keep that in mind, fellas.
Google says, the top trending Valentine's Day this year at the Valentine's Day activity is hitting up an arcade. I don't know if I would recommend that. Is that like a David Busters thing? I guess that's part of it. Also, like there's those barcades that are arcade slash bark. I feel like you'd have to run that by your girl first. After that, it was going to the zoo and then a couple's spa day. Paint and sit parties are also a popular trend this Valentine's Day, which is where you
just paint and drink wine. Painting with a twist I think is one of those. I just felt like that was a gals thing to do. I didn't know that was a couple's thing. Okay, cool, be anything Google also says the forty one percent of men want the male equivalent of Gallentine's Day, which is just must they must not know about Steak and BJ Davis and they clearly don't. Which is a month from Valentine's Day. Yeah, okay, so that'll be good.
Okay, all of this stuff, it's just okay, we're talking about Valentine's Day, which is good. Where an activity is going to Cactus Cove, thank you, the mile of meat, thank you.
That could be how you find your Valentine's Day evening.
Okay, let's not forget about the morning show. On Friday, we're gonna have those two lined up on Westheimer. Twenty dudes lined up and girls, you're gonna have to drive by pick out your man, and then meet him that night at Cactus Call.
Postmode is at it again. He left another giant tip, this time at a bar in New Orleans during Super Bowl weekend. He showed up to a bar called The Howland Wolf on Saturday night, spent twenty five dollars and left the bartender at two thousand dollars tip. But when the bartender tried to cash out, the bar's payment provider wouldn't give her the money because the tip was so big it triggered a red flag in their system. They initially just gave her two hundred dollars, but eventually fixed
the glitch and gave her the full amount. The bartender posted their seats social media and said that bud Light was post He's drink of choice.
He was in a bud Light Super Bowl ad. Oh yeah, so he had to drink he's wrapping. Are you expecting that now? Every single time you see post Malone, it's good.
Pr for postmode. He can pretty much do whatever. But then everyone's like, well, that's the guy that tips two thousand dollars every time he goes anywhere.
What if he goes out and gets crappy service he goes, you're gonna hear about, Hey.
Post bloone was here and he only left twenty percent. That's gonna be a story added him for not giving a two thousand dollars. Yeah.
I just think it's gonna be expected of him now because we're doing so many stories like this.
That's weird. Jack White has released a new live EP. It's called No Name Live and features five songs that recorded during his tour last year, where he surprised fans with pop up shows in historic clubs around the world. The EP is available on all streaming platforms and the release matches up with his No Name tour, which continues through the end of May. You see how he kind of went ham a little bit on fans that he went off on. He did, what do you do?
So he put a post out, I've got it on the music blog page and he said, listen, the expectation of you paying money and me being on stage for three hours, it's not happening.
So he's kind of.
Talking about Taylor Swift, he's never been for three hours, or maybe Bruce Springsteen, but he said the lasers and the fires, and he goes, that's not happen up my show.
I'm not doing a set list.
I'm going to play for as long as how I feel like playing, which is a wild card thing to do. Yeah, but he's doing sets right now at these shows that are clocking in at just under an hour.
Which is that's not not normal, right, It's about an hour. It's not normal hour and a half. I would I feel like most headliners do about an hour.
You're talking about on a festival. If you go see a headliner and you pay to go see that band. My expectation and my wrong my expectation is an hour and a half is the men I would I mean, I would.
Like an hour and a half. I don't know. I feel like there's bands like Taylor Swift either like She's She's three hours, Brice Brice's three hours. But you don't just like randomly do a three hour show. You're either a three hour show guy or gal, or you're not. And so I feel like if you had seen Jack White, you would know that I've seen him twice and he was not that at all. If I go seeing five minutes at a festival one time, then I saw him and ned about an hour.
If I go see some really old classic rock band in their play at a casino, it's gonna be an hour and ten minutes set. That I understand. But if you're going to see somebody like Jack White, who's still.
Young in his prime, I would think I'm getting an hour and a half if I'm buying a ticket. And he said, don't expect that. Go read what he wrote. It's not being an asshole, but he didn't go anywhere expecting three hours for a show. Like, that's that's a little much. I think maybe that's what he was pointing out. Yeah, okay, you he might cut some short to some people's liking, but like you can't expect anybody to go three out.
He said, he's not doing a set list. He said, he's just he's playing how he feels.
He's a musician, Rogers, I know, I know, he's an artist.
He's a peacock. You gotta let him fly.
Sports Rockets are back in action tonight. They're gonna host the Phoenix Suns at the Toyota Center. Tip Off for that game is at seven thirty. You can listen to it on our sister station, Sports Talk seven ninety. We're also just one day away Masters pictures and catchers reporting to spring training down in West Palm Beach, Florida. That is what's going on in sports.
It's a good question.
I like this.
I want to take some calls on it, Chile, before we start giving away tickets and everything.
I'll take a.
Couple of quick phone calls right now. If you go see you pay money and it's just a headliner. It could be imagine dragons, it could be twenty twenty one pilots, it could be the Black Keys. It just you're going to see a band. Let's take the Foo Fighters out who sometimes played for three hours. Bruce Bringsteen these three hour acts. That's not what I'm talking about. If you pay money to go see a Jack White or somebody, what's your what's your expectation of how long they're going
to be on stage. I'll take a couple of phone calls on this. I think this is interesting.
Seven one three, two one two five nine four five Chili line them.
Up The Rod Ryan Morning Show six at ten am.
The buzz.
All right, here we go ninety four to five, the bus days of the new Touch Peel and stand brod Ryan Show.
In this wildcard Wednesday, all right, seven oh eight, ninety percent chance of thunderstorms highs up around seventy two.
I wanted to bring back up what Alex was talking about Jack White in the news. I pulled up his Instagram.
Posts and Jack White is kind of reacting to people's comments about his short set times. Jack White's been out playing put out a five song EP, he says from the official Jack White Instagram. Been hearing a lot of chatter throughout the year of this glorious electric touring about how long our sets are supposed to be on stage, as if the length of a show determines how good
it is. I know we're living in a current era where people like to say so and so played for three hours last night and then brag about it the next day. I'll let our fans know now my mind has no intention of impressing y'all in that context. The Beatles and the Ramones played thirty minute ish sets, and if I could, I would do the same At this moment in my performing life. That's actually the kind of
show I'd like to put on right now. But there becomes this chatter that the cost of a ticket entitles people to some kind of extra long show.
I do think that is a good point on the cost of the ticket, where like you're like, when you paid a nickel to go see the Beatles, isn't that big a deal, But like.
The Ramones you paid, you paid twenty You paid maybe ten dollars to get into CBGB's Ramones probably did fifteen songs and they were done in thirty five forty minutes.
If you're dropping two hundred bucks to go see Jack White and he gives you forty five minutes. They can understand the like, hey, what the hell.
Man, But he's putting that expectation out there and he's letting you know, here's my stance on this. So at least he's getting ahead of it, or is he cleaning up the fact that people are mad that he did short sets?
Kind of a little of both.
My expectation is if I'm going to see a headliner, not on a festival, So let's take buzzfest out of it, because there are shortened sets.
Also, if you're going to see.
Foreigner and the one guy that's maybe still in the band, or maybe nobody's still in the band, and you got some comps at the casino Foreigner Ario station Wagon, they might play an hour. Those guys are in their seventies, so those guys.
Might play an hour.
My expectation for a classic rock band like that one hour, okay, But to go see a band Jack White is still in his prime.
He's probably what forty eight years old?
Yeah, on an hour and a half out of a headliner. If I'm going to see a band, I know, not everybody's the food Fighter's playing for three hours, he said. The so called bands that brag about it. We know that Taylor Swift plays for three hours. We know Bruce Springsteen plays for three that's a cool.
Plus to go in to see them. You know you're going to have a marathon of a show. But I think that you can't expect that from everybody.
Jeremiah, what's your expectation paying your money to go see a headlining band that you love?
Oh man, I'm saying, as you man, an hour and a half, I mean as much as we pay for take us Now, that's kind of a joke if you ask me.
Yeah, if they're playing shorter than that, this is this is an odd teke I'm not nobody surprised, but Jack White being outspoken on something Keith, good morning, Rod.
I'm with you.
One hour and a half, two hours of man amm and and you even hit it on the head and you talk about the Ramones. For him to throw out the Ramones and the Beatles is ridiculous. Like you said their songs were two and a half minutes, Yeah, they could play fifteen songs and going even going back to your old school with Foreigner and are you hope because I've seen them also, Yeah, they're putting in an hour and a half.
Yeah, I think, are we spoiled? Why do I have that as an industry standard? In my head? An hour and a half. It just feels like I'm getting googled it. It was ninety minutes is average headliner set time that people expect. You ever watched a band? Thank you, Keith.
I appreciate the call.
If you ever watched a band and then you realize, oh my god, it's over and you look at your watch and you say, well they played it hour and twenty minutes, it seems like you kind of got ripped a little.
Can't remember last time there was a band.
That played an hour and twenty minutes, and I was very surprised that I hadn't seen a set that short in a long time. I wish I could remember Case said, good morning, hey brother on what's the expectation for you when you're going to see a band?
I mean, really, for me, I just want to see a great show.
The All American Rejects did that for me last year or the year before that. I mean I got there and I think they went two hours, and they went like back.
Just because it was so cool.
They had such a fun like theme and everything.
Seemed like it went very quickly.
And I've been to other shows that you know, you're there and you're listening to the songs, You're like, oh, I wonder what song they're going to do next, and you're not really.
As into the.
Into the whole.
Atmosphere as you could, you.
Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, case, I appreciate the call. Sorry, I gotta cutch you taking a move on these quickly, Johnny, good morning, Hey Ron, what's going on?
What's up dude?
Time?
Well, you know, it depends on the show you're going to, like the Who Came to Houston, the Korean band, and they don't have a big set list, but you kind of know that going into it. But if you've got a band that you just paid three hundred and fifty dollars to get even those bleed seats forward, you kind of want to jump around for a while and watch their set list. It's disappointing if you spend that much money, especially for US working class people that save.
Their money to go to shows, and there's nothing there. It's over in forty five minutes.
I mean that's that's not even as long as the Trystar movie.
How long did the Hu the band you're talking about. Do you know did you time the setlist? Do you know how long it was?
No?
So my daughter actually went to that show and she said that the show was awesome and they did Wolf told them they're big there and the whole crowd was really, really, really into it.
Yeah, but the first.
Band didn't even show up, so I think they only got like fifty minutes out of the show.
Wow.
And I think they paid like two hundred and something bucks or that or something like that. I did not go to that show, but that's what she had told me about.
All right, Johnny, thank you man. I appreciate the call. You can read the entire post.
And if Jack.
White's your guy, you're gonna have to do what he says he's going to do. He says, I don't have a set list. I'm going to play as long as I feel like playing. And I think that's going to be reflective in the.
People that are gonna You got to think about do you want to spend your money to go to that because he might only feel like forty minutes that night, maybe he feels like an hour and ten. You can't go by.
Well, here's what he did last night in another city. He says he's not playing that game. I don't know. I don't know. It's just concerts. We all know how expensive it is.
Now. I think like if it's a stadium, I feel like it. Nelson depends on the venue. Like if you go to a club, I can see a shorter set list and out of a headliner. If I go to Toyota Center to see a band, I want a longer headliner set. If I go to Minute Made Park, I want to longer headliner set. Yep, yep. All right, Well that's that's on the music blog page today. Go read what he said. Go read what he said. H oh, I don't like it.

T Ryan Show, Fun ninety four or five, The.
Buzz ninety four, five, The Buzz, Good Morning, rod Ryan Show, Shine Down, and Dead Don't Die.
We were talking about band setlists earlier this hour. Jack White is on the music blog page and he said, listen, I just want to make sure that you guys know you come to see me. I don't know how long I'm playing, but don't think I'm playing in one of.
These three hour sets. Shine Doown is a really good example of a band that has such an awesome catalog of music they could play an hour and a half. Solid no monkeying around in between, and every song would be a hit.
You know.
Yeah, that's that's how many hits they have.
I mean, we saw them for a full hour just doing an acoustic set, and they could have gone on all night. I would have been fine with that. Yeah, they could have anyway. Touched the surface.
Go read the Jack White stuff on the music blog page, and it was fun taking some calls. Most people were kind of on board with the things that I was saying that I have an expectation that that's a good band. In an example, if I go and I pay money to go see Shine Down, which we don't get free tickets anymore. If I'm paying money and you see me at Shine Down, in my head, I have it made up that they're going to play an hour and a half.
I'm saying, whether it's right or wrong, in my head, it's made up that that's what I feel is worthy of what I've paid, you know, an hour and a half to buy a concert ticket.
I don't think it's asking a lot now for Jack White specifically, I think that a lot of people also expect him to do like the full White Stripes catalog, the full Racing Tours catalog, and I think that him as a you know, I'm an artist kind of guy, yep, which is he's a musician's musician. I would say he wants to do things his own way. And I've seen him play White Stretch song. He's done Seven Nation Army, but like, I wouldn't expect him to do the entire catalog.
And I think maybe you go there and you're.
Like, dude, but you had Seven Nation Army. You could done You could have done this, you could have done ring my doorbell, you could have done this. And like, he's gonna want to play his solo stuff. Do you expect him to do all of that stuff? If you're in another band and then you're doing a solo act, do.
You expect him to do only solo stuff or do you expect all of his catalog from everything. I'm not as big a Jack White fan as you are. I like the hits, I like this, but steady as she goes. You want that when you're at a Jack White show.
But what I think might not be a bad idea for a Jack White show to be forty minutes.
For me, he's a pretty messy guy. I mean messy.
Some of that guitar stuff I'm not saying that he's not a guitar virtuoso, but it gets a little my It gets a little hard to listen to for a while.
After a while.
Some of that you were even doing some back back to back to back Jack White stuff in the background when we were talking about it. He dabbles on the guitar a little bit, and sometimes some of that stuff gets a little messy sounding to me. So yeah, Sam says, brother, I'm older now. I really don't care if a concert is shorter. I want to hear the hits. Give me the hits, not your new album. I'll never forget. And he goes on to say Pearl Jam did him wrong. It's like twenty years ago.
He went to go see them, like they played three songs that he knew. Pearl Jam will do that to you.
Pearl Champ will play for two hours and you might get two songs off the first album.
And it is kind of how I go like the way he was saying it. And I don't know if that's because I'm getting old now too, but like you go in with like, okay, it's this band, I want to see this, this, this, this, and this, and then you're all right, well they got that one done. You're like that, all right? The only three they really got or this one, this one and this one. I think we maybe have two songs left and then, like you
feel pretty happy. But if you have five songs you wanted to hear and they didn't get to any of them, yeah, well I'm disappointed. No matter how long you played. It was a good conversation to have, and Jack White is definitely spark sparking a conversation right now. For sure.
I don't expect you to play for three hours. I don't expect you, you know, but Rolling Stones. Look at Rolling Stones played for two hours. Those guys are one hundred and fifty years old.
It's like, okay, they have a million songs soon, right, But they don't let you down. You know, they know you're gonna go to a once you start them up. I just keep doing.
And on that.
We need to break Easton's rocking alternatives.

He goes up to thirty percent, seventy percent, at eleven eighty percent at noon. So it's pushing back just a little. Not a very pretty day outside, that's for sure.
But we got Alex here holding down Houston's headlines. What you got, buddy, Well, good morning everyone.
Good morning. Mark Foegel, the American teacher that was held in Russia for three and a half years, is back in the United States after being released. Fogel had been sentenced to fourteen years in prison in a Russian prison after a small amount of medical cannabis was found in his luggage. The US condemned his sentence and called it a wrongful detention. President Trump called the terms of Fogel's
release very fair, as he awaited Fogel's arrival last night. Yeah, I was watching that, like, well, what do we give up? We got a good deal? Did you give out the Merchant of Death?
No?
No, well I don't know. He didn't say what we gave up. He just said we got a good deal.
So that was it. That arms dealer last time for a pretty banner. He was a pretty big, pretty big tag. You want her, she's one of the best. WNA. There's supposed to be another release today. Oh, that's on you. I don't know if it's going to happen this morning. I'll as you know, if anything comes across my desk, the newest desk over here. Yeah, you're holding down that
news desk. Well, good job. What else you got. President Trump also signed an executive order yesterday granting Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency increased authority over federal hiring and downsizing initiatives. The order mandates that new federal hires received the department's approval, aiming to streamline government operations and reduced waste. Musk defended the aggressive cost cutting measures, acknowledging some of
the errors but emphasizing the need for their actions. The restructuring by the Department of Government Efficiency has led to significant budget cuts and layoffs, with legal challenges blocking or reversing some of the decisions that have been made so far.
What a polarizing dude, man.
Every time you mention it, anytime I say anything about Elon Musk on this show, bam, bam, bam bam, six emails.
I'm being partisan in the way that we're reporting this news. Yeah, I'm reading it off of a website. Guys, chill out. Yeah, six emails will come in almost every mention of Elon Musk. Not all bad.
Yeah, it's just he's he's just this lightning rod.
Right. You can also call him Harry Balls. That's what he changed his names, Did he really he changed it. Yeah, not his like handle, but like the nickname that goes above it. But that was a whole thing, all right. Yeah, interesting, funny guy. According to the site bet MGM, the Philadelphia Eagles are the favorite to win next year's Super Bowl. The Chiefs aren't even the second favorite, though Ravens have
that spot at plus seven hundred odds. Chiefs and Bills are the third most likely team to win the Super Bowl. According to this website, followed by the Lions and forty nine ers. The Texans have the tenth best odds to win the best the Big Game next year. If you put one hundred dollars on the Texans right now, you would win twenty five hundred on top of your hundred
if they would. Actor Seth Rogan doesn't understand why people care about his decision not to have kids, saying quote, if you hate me so much, why do you want more of me? He had been pretty outspoken about not wanting kids, and got some backlash for it online. Rogan also went on to say, you should only have kids if you really want kids, and we just don't really want kids. Time kept going by, in the moment where we were like, let's do it just kept not happening.
It's I don't know. It's weird that he's making he's making this bigger than it is. It's also weird that other people care about other people having kids. Correct.
I don't know if he was, because he's reacting to the reactions. That's right, that's what your story is. So clearly he has already made a comment about him and his wife. They've made a decision not to have children. That's your decision to make you do.
You're not put on this planet say you don't have to have kids. You just need to have a child. I'm glad people do have kids so that we can keep this thing going along. You know. Some of the kids turn out to be great, but extinction is scary as well, or is it? But he could have let it go there.
And he's not.
He's like, listen, why are you freaking out about me and my wife smoke. We just made that decision. We're not having kids. Chelsea Handler daily puts out stuff on content about her being single and her not having to worry about kids, and she talks about how great her life is.
I don't know if it's truly that great, but you know what, she talks about it every single day, about how awesome it is.
Not worried about a PTA meeting. I've been on both sides of it. Being a parent is cool. I like that, But then also I liked sleeping in too, so that, like, I get both sides of it. Just chill out. Let people make their own decisions. Agree that the life of late Metallica bassis Cliff Burton was celebrated with Cliff Burton Day on what would have been his sixty third birthday. A special livestream included video of special festivities, which were
held on Saturday in California. Burton played on Metallica's first three studio albums and co wrote classic songs like Ride the Lightning, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, and Master of Puppets. He was initially replaced by Jason Newstead, who stayed with the group until two thousand and one, when Robert Trhia then took over. I felt it was important to play this song. Did you know this was the bass that's Cliff got out? It was just a regular gutime. You thought it was a guitar. Yeah, most
people think it's a guitar. That's a that's Cliff. That's the magic and the wizardry of Cliff Burtons. Like on Seven Nation Army when we learned that was the guitar doing that and not the bass. Right, you're right, your mind's just blown. It's because they didn't have a bass player. Yep, yep, all right. Sports Rockets are back in action tonight. They're gonna host the Phoenix Suns at the Toyota Center. There's six and a half point favorites heading into this one.

The Dry Morning Show six to ten am, ninety four or five buzz.
All right, here we go ninety four or five buzz. But how Chili Peppers under the Bridge, rod Ryan Show, halfoy part of the show, people up the rain Today, the nasty stuff is getting pushed back just a little bit. Might not be until eleven twelve o'clock that we see the nasty stuff coming down. But it's a little drizzly and skanky out there right now.
Reminder, hopefully when you hear that bell, you're like, oh, something's happening here, so or just Roger just hit it all the time.
I kind of hit it all the time.
Reminder sign up on the world famous rod Ryan Show blog page if you want to come down here to the station and play read my lips tomorrow. I don't know what we're looking like, I'll hit up Chili this hour just to see if we're looking good. Do we have a bunch of people that have said that they want to come down and play. I don't know if we should predetermine the prize, but we can. I guess we'll look at that too. So we'll check in with
Chili this hour to see how we're looking. One of you is we're giving you the opportunity to come down and play. Read my lips. You will be taking on the Chile, So we will talk to him. It's a pretty funny link up today. I know there's a couple of dudes out there that might be dealing with it too.
I am.
There's a TikToker named Jesse Blockton. He's kind of blowing up right now. It's a really catchy song. I'll play a little clip of it, okay, And it's an anthem for middle aged men, you guys out there running around with your big gray beards, or me who I'd throw in the tonnel. About a year ago, all right, I was I was putting a little just I was putting a little just for men in there up until almost last year, and then I just said.
Why, just why.
I'm playing the hand that God dealt me. Okay, like bald in the shape of a pair, and what little hair I have is gray, you know, So on my chin, I just let it go white. I'm like, I'm not gonna just for ment and it never looks natural. Yeah, never looks natural. I'm like, that's enough.
I feel if I was embarrassed, I'm like, okay, boom, I'm just gonna let it go.
There's a lot of guys out there that have a dark head of hair, but for some reason, your facial hair it goes great earlier than the rest. So this guy writes a song and it's about the dilemma that you're having. Do you keep the beard and look older but better, or do you shave it off and look fat. Mine's hiding my double chin, my goatee. Listen to this guy's song. It's really really funny. You put together a whole video for it.
Do you want to look younger and worse older betser that's got the hearse or young Girvin banter.
It's kind of a curse the former lancer. But you have got to make this choice.
Okay, I'll be singing it all day today. It's go watch the whole video on three things you must see. You know you look older because you got the gray beard, but you know your fat face is underneath there?
Uh huh? And do you want to keep that hitten? Okay, have a strong jaw line, my dad did. I don't know why I didn't get that emergency poll question, Alex, all right, let's go.
It's just because I'm getting so many emails on it. A topic that we talked about an hour ago. Jack White is defending his shorter set times for this new tour that he's doing. He put out a five song EP and he's not playing much more than that.
Pay more than that he is. He said he could cap it at forty minutes, but he can also go as long as he felt like, Yeah, he's not gonna do three hours.
Jack White is defending his shorter set times when he's out playing live and he just feels like he has to address some of the people that are expecting him to play longer. Yeah, and his stance on it, it all makes sense, and it's just is it our fault?
Is it my fault? I can only talk about me specifically. I just said we talked about we started the hour with chili peppers. Can you imagine going to a red hot Chili Pepper show.
Let's say you spend what two hundred and fifty dollars on a ticket?
Probably that's not outrageous. Now I hate that that's not outrageous, but it's not. It's outrageous, but it's the norm.
Can you imagine going to a red hot Chili Pepper show and them playing for an hour?
You'd be upset. I think you would go and take it to your social media and say, what the heck?
Guys?
What going on? A lot of people would for sure, well why.
Because I think, like me, most people have an expectation of a headliner playing about an hour and a half. My question, emergency pole question, how long should a headliner set be to feel like you got your money's worth?
Sixty percent of our it's really early. I just put this up, emergency pole question. Sixty percent of our audience say an hour and a half. Oh, here we go. Fifty's it just changed. A lot of votes came in.
Fifty two percent of our audience an hour and a half. Twenty six percent of our audience expect two hours for the money you're spending.
I feel like two hours is asked.
All seventeen percent want the show to be over two hours, and just four percent say an hour is fine. How long should a headline lining set b to feel like you got your money's worth?
A couple of things you got to take out.
Take the Taylor Swift, Foo Fighter, Bruce Springsteen out of it, the three hour those animals that play for three.
Hours, they're skewing the numbers.
Yeah, okay, take out Animal Milkshake or the Ramones who are no longer around. But these bands that have two minute songs and they can play twenty songs and be off the stage in thirty five.
Minutes, what dude, you know?
Yeah, take that out of it. Because the guy's like.
Dude, punk shows, I'm like, okay, that's nothing. That's not everybody.
I get it. Punk shows they're quick poem.
You got twenty five bands and you're going, you know, you're back at home in two hours. I'm talking about a headlining set, and not on a buzzfest. I'm talking about going to the Woodlands to go see your favorite headliner. Going to and not on a festival or going they can have opening acts, but going to the Toyota Center and going to see nine inch Nails. Okay, I expect how long you want nine Nails to be on stage to get your money's worth. You're gonna spend three hundred
bucks to go see nine inch Nails. Probably at this point you're gonna spend more because it's sold out. If Trent Rezord goes up there and plays an hour and I spent four hundred dollars, it's my fault that I spent that money.
I didn't get in on thickets. But I'll be mad if it's an hour long.
There's stilling, somebody that's mad that spent that they do two hours to think, what the hell?
Dude?
Yeah, I'm just trying to find out what's the expectation. So I'll let the poll question. I don't want to talk about this all morning, but I'll let the pole question breathe for a little.
Bit and then we'll kind of check in with it.
It seems early on with early votes that the expectation I'm not I'm an I'm an average.
Dude in every way hour and a half. It's like I'd like an hour and a half for my for my heart earned cash that I spent on that show.
All right, let me take a break, let me come, we'll talk about Buzzfest and we'll get you some Buzzfest tickets.
Man, I'm excited rock and alternative where he used to the rod Ryan.
Morning Show six to ten am the buzz.
Yeah, what he said, Good morning rod Ryan's Show.

Okay.
I continue to see Pete Davidson all over the place with him and his tattoo movel.
Okay.
Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live famously dated Kim Kardashian and Ariam Grande and I mean.
Everybody right who hasn't.
Yeah, and he was coated in tattoos, not all of them. Very good as a matter of fact, most of them bad and that was his thing. Though he got rid of everything. Yeah, he got rid of everything. He got rid of all of it. I knew he was getting rid of a bunch of them.
I don't know how much makeup is involved with this photo shoot.
I'm sure there's some, because we've all seen people with tattoo removals and you can still kind of see a fint you can still see and if you look closely, you can still kind of see a little bit. But I think they got some makeup on him on top of it. But he said it was incredibly painful. It was over two hundred thousand dollars to get rid of all that stuff. So I see Pete Davison pictures floating around.
You know, if he's your thing, he's running around in panties with no shirt on now, So yeah, ladies, so like that, like Marky Mark style, you know, with his Calvin Kleines.
What else? Apple Maps is trending. They are following Google and they have officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and their app and people are talking about that, and then Wildcut Wednesday continues to trend as it should be Houston's and Ashley Sharp, submitted to us by Eli Goo.

Show, Good morning.
Who's this Lisa? Hi? Lisa?
How are you?
I'm great?
What is your expectation for.
A headlining band if you go to a concert? How long would you like their set to be?
About? Thirty minutes?
You want your what's your favorite band?
Who is my favorite band? I love Blue October?
Okay, so you'd be cool spending money for a concert to go see Bloctober and Justin and the guys up there for thirty minutes and saying thank you good night.
You'd be fine with that.
No, I'm more like an hour and a half. I did oh okay, Yeah you said it like that.
Yeah, I put it like that, so I get it. Yeah, thirty minutes. It's like, man, that's like an opening act at Buzzfest.
Yeah, you know short, yeah, all right, hour and a half. Yeah, I'm with you on that.
Hey, your caller number ten.
I'm not I'm gonna give you to Buzzfest and your favorite band is playing. So you got Chevelle, Marilyn Manson. They're the co headliners. You got Blow October before that.
I really want to see Marilyn Manson.
I've never seen him.
I'm so excited.
I'm excited for you.
I think there's I feel there's a lot of people that have never seen Marilyn Manson. We've never seen him on a buzz FESTI before. He's come through town plenty, but he has not played a Buzzfest. He's the only band, maybe Sleep Theory, that has never been on a buzz Fest before. All these other bands we're pretty familiar with. But I'm with you on the excitement of Marilyn Manson.
I have seen him.
I saw him recently too. You're gonna be impressed. You're gonna be impressed. Man, he's at the top of his game right now.
Least I am excited, excited.
I'm excited for people. What a wild variance. Her favorite band Blow October. She's most excited to see Marilyn Manson. Anybody think those two bands are even close to one another. They're not. But that's just how we are now, that's our taste in music.
We love everything you know. So I'm with you, Lisa on everything you said today. Thank you for listening.
Yes, sir, thank you, You're awesome. You're gonna be good to party with. You're gonna be fun to party with. Who I got one more thing for Lisa, Lisa, I'm sorry and put you on the spot. One more thing.
What kind?
What kind of car do you drive? Right? Right right? I drive a silver Ford Escape, silver Ford Escape. You're good, You're good. I'll tell you why in a minute. But you're fine.
You're just you're doing a great job out there. If you're doing a great job out there, Lisa, thank you again. Congratulations. We'll party with you at Buzzfest. Why am I asking her?
Well?
I was a little nervous if she told me that she was a Tesla driver. Now hang on, let me just say and I'm gonna I'm gonna start this. I drive a BMW. It does have turn signals. Okay, do you just choose not to use them.
I use them.
What is it about that particular car? People feel like they want to make fun that. Do you think that BMW drivers do not use their No, we think.
You're rich, so you think you're better than us. So we're also just jealous that we're not rich. So then we have to find a way to like slight you. Here's what I have found with the BMW.
It's easier to get in a traffic line or you know, to try to like not not like you know, cut in front of everybody and then right at the last minute, you know, try to I'm saying people like letting you over. I do feel there's a difference what I'm in my tundra trying to get over using my directional, my turn signal, and people like okay, yeah, come on in.
I feel like BMW at least four cars are going to pass me before somebody's cool enough to let me get what's that about? Like this guy's rich, he can figure it out. He'll pay someone to take care of this. I understand. My sister, who you know, she works for General Motors.
She's like, you got that Nazi wagon sitting in your driveway I'm like, all right, let's go easy on that, BMW, Volkswagen, both of them. But a new report analyzed actual data from insurance companies and accident reports to come up with a definitive list of the best and the worst drivers by vehicle brand. All right, this is not me, but it is easy to start kind of forming opinions about drivers.
Do you have an opinion on cyber trucks?
Like is it douchey?
Uh?
Do you?
How do you do you feel one way or another if you see a cyber truck, Because my kids to the point where it's like cyber truck, it's still one of those cool things to point out when you see it. I notice them specifically, like in the morning, there's one that is going to work around the same time as me, and the headline always catches my attention because it's got the like straight line all the way across it. It's like a robot. I don't know. I see people make
fun of it a lot. I just to me, they're like just like a tank version of like a hummer mm hmm.
I don't know.
I don't have a problem with them. I'm not going to purchase fun.
I feel like opinions form about drivers solely on what they are driving. A Hummer was an interesting thing. People would think a certain way about hummers back.
In the day.
I think with the Tesla it's also like political as well as that.
See, I feel like most Tesla owners are not Elon Musk fans, but I think people think you are because you're driving a test, right, So I think people make assumptions based on that. You know, So this comes from actual data, not just you formulating your own opinions. Tesla, Ram and Subaru worst drivers on the road. I'm sorry this, I'm not coming up with this on on my own.
Does it Tesla drive for you?
So?
Really, robots worst drivers across the country.
Tesla drivers had nearly thirty seven incidents per one thousand drivers throughout twenty twenty four, making them number one worst literally drivers on the road.
They're supposed to have all the safety features and it's like, we can't do this, Like isn't that the whole point? Does it not do any of the stuff it says it does?
Like, rob what are they looking at here? Accidents? DUIs speeding and citations.
Supposed to stop but not getting accidents?
Number one right, number one. Oh, I'm going to take some heat for this. Ram is second second worst. I guess ramf you think.
About Rex Rams historically do run into things.
Ram was worst overall in twenty twenty three. Congratulations Tesla, now number one, you're the worst drivers. On the flip side, Mercury had the best drivers. What they still they don't even make cars anymore. Yeah, that's why we don't even make cars anymore. Like, okay, let's watch talk about Mercury Sable coming through. Uh wait a minute, make room for the Topaz. On the flip side, as texts, Mercury, Pontiac,
and Cadillac had the best drivers. Now this is there can't be many Mercuries out On Pontiac, I don't know if they're done. But Cadillac is still making cars, all right. So these cars have half the amount of incidents that the Tesla drivers have. So we know that they're making Cadillacs, we know that they're making new ones. Second straight year that Mercury topped the list.
Not fair.
There's just not many them out there, so that I don't buy into all that much. Overall, they considered thirty brands worst. Here's your top ten.
Panyak has been discontinued since twenty ten. Okay, Mercury's gotta be around their ten. So they're both like, yeah, there's less of them on the.
Road, so the Cadillac is the only one that really counts on that list.
Tesla, Ram, Subaru, Audi, Mazda, Molkswagen, BMW, Honda, Infinity, Toyota.
Top ten worst drivers on the road. A lot of a lot of Subaru drivers I've seen just whizzing in out of place. It's like day they do not have rules when they came out. We always have the racing stripes and stuff on too. It's like all right, speed racers.
Yeah. I wanted to give one away back when they were doing back when like Survivor. I think the second one was the outback. Yeah, and I remember it was a Subaru outback. Let's try to give let's try to go give one away, and we just couldn't. Couldn't get the super people to come off a book, are like, no, you gotta give it one away, all right. Sorry, guys, I know most of you are in your car right now. This is not coming from me, Hope, Tesla, this is
absolutely not coming from me. It's coming from Lending Tree.
The Rod Ryan Show on the Bus ninety.
Four five the Bus, Good morning, rod Ryan's Show. That sudd Nirvana and all apologies. Rod Ryan's Show on this wild card Wednesday, we got.

One of you will be chosen at about an hour from now, not too late for you to sign up. Do everything that the Man

Well, good morning everyone. Mark Fogel, the American teacher that was held in Russia for three and a half years, is back in the US after being released. He had been sentenced to fourteen years in a Russian prison after a small amount of medical cannabis was found in his luggage. The US condemned his sentence and called it wrongful detention. President Trump called the terms of Fogels released very fair.
He confirmed that last night as he awaited Fogel's arrival back into the States, two children and an adult male were hurt in a shooting in the southeast Houston last night. It all happened outside of an apartment complex near south Way Drive and Telephone Road. HPD says that three to four male suspects tried to rob the man and ended up shooting and stabbing him. They then ran and came across the two boys and shot and stabbed him as well. The man is in his thirties and the boys are
twelve and fifteen years old. All three victims were taken to the hospital and are expected to recover. Police are still looking for the suspects, who were believed to all be wearing black. Google just released some Valentine's Day stats that show some surprising new trends, like most women saying that they would prefer to stay in this Valentine Sixty sixty three percent say staying at home sounds like more fun than going out, and fifty five percent of men
agreed with that. Sixty two percent of women say that they think a home cooked meal is more romantic than a fancy restaurant. That sounds like people that have never been to our milage meat party. Well that's the number one place. Because I don't. They must not a factor remil of me, because that, to me would be a ninety nine point nine nine nine percent win rate. At least, it's just a fun time guys, Friday night. Do you hate fun? Do you hate love? Then don't go to that.
Then Cactus Cove, we'll see they're starting at about six o'clock. All right, what else are people doing so. Fifty two percent of women think that Valentine's Day proposals are overrated.
Oh.
Google says the top trending Valentine's Day activities this year Number one is hitting up an arcade, followed by going to the zoo and a couple's spa day. Paint and sit parties are also a popular Valentine's Day activity this year. That's where you just go paint whatever the picture is and then drink wine or whatever you bring. Painting with
the twists. I thought that was for the gals. It might be, but then also Google says that forty one percent of men want the male equivalent of Gallentine's Day. Let's go to the bar with you boys, right, chill out. Yeah, you don't have to have a fancy name for it. Post Malone is at it again. He left another giant tip, this time at a bar in New Orleans. He showed up two bar called the Howland Wolf on Saturday night
and spent twenty five dollars. He then left the bartender a two thousand dollars tip, but when the bartender went to cash out, the bar's payment provider wouldn't give her the money because the tip was so big it triggered a red flag in their system. They initially just gave her two hundred dollars, but eventually fixed the glitch and gave her the full amount. She posted the receipt to social media and said that bud Light was Posting's drink
of choice. He was in a bud Light Super Bowl ad on Sunday.
Those servers are going to be murdering each other in the kitchen.
Oh, I got posts, I got posts.
When post Wallon comes and everybody's gonna be fighting away on him absolutely.
Jack White has released a new live EP.

How long should a headliner set be to feel like you got your money's worth?
We've been talking a lot about that this morning. You pay money for a concert, not a festival. We're talking about going to see your band Boom Red Hot Chili Peppers shine down you.
How long do you to get your money's worth? What do you feel like they should How long should they play? Forty seven percent of our audience says an hour and a half, thirty two percent of our audience two hours, eleven percent over two hours. To get your money's worth, that band should play for over two hours. Almost ten percent say one hours. Just fine.
Valentine's Days on Friday. It turns out, if you're single, Texas is a pretty good state to be in. It's a top state to be in. As a matter of fact, it's one of the best states to be in if you're single. It's a weird question. I was single most of my time here.
It's like asking me, like, what do you think about the produce in Texas, I don't know it's there. What are your thoughts on farming, the farming numbers in Texas? Is it a good place? I mean, what do you know? Almost fifteen years now? Okay, so and Chile the same thing. So you guys wouldn't know. I felt like New Orleans was pretty fun to be single. Yeah, there was a lot going on, but it was the time of my life. I was there. I was younger, you know, I was
single a good chunk of my time. Here they're chasing a leg.
The thing about me is I never took part in any of the online dating, nor have I ever say so.
I think that has a lot to do with it. Like, I can't tell you how good is the That's where you start to like really get an idea of like what's available out there. Yeah, you know, I just kind of go out like a normal person.
Did you know that Saturday, February fifteenth is Single Awareness Day? I probably did know this, I just did forgot about it. The day after Valentine's Day every year is Singles Awareness Day because everyone's got to get theirs. Oh, by the way, good for you. You're all coupled off. You're gonna have Valentine's Day? What about us singles over here? Well, you get the day after, you get the day.
You have all of the days besides value. That's true, it's true. But this, if you're into Singles Awareness Day, if you don't need to be aware that you're single, you are aware that you are single. That is, that's the awareness you need right there. Like awareness is for some like some like little known form of cancer that people don't know all that about. Not that you just can't get a date. It's not exclusive to girls. I'm sure to be the last.
Sure there's a few dudes out there.
But yeah, like you know, maybe Saturday, there'd be some vague booking. Oh, Singles Awareness another year, just me and my cat and a cup of soup for one. The guy version of it is just like, well, you know it. Bountie is just a corporate holiday made mark to try and sell cards and chocolate.
Wallet Hub does a pretty good job of doing some of these different surveys. They compared the states with twenty nine different indicators. So like the friendliness, I can tell you in the South that people are friendlier in the South.
There's no doubt about it. Like New York, let me tell you, they're just mean and like these.
Girls that aren't hot and they're walking around like they're all that. That's a New York thing. Okay, And I'm not even from New York City. That's a New York thing. Let me tell you. It's like, really, you're gonna you're gonna act like that.
Way more friendly down here in the South. So I would expect the Southern states to do better. Okay, I just see, I'll say this. This is one thing I noticed. I felt like women were more as long as it's okay, I felt like women were more approachable.
Okay, New York, oh god.
Datingliness was one of the key indicators number of single adults, so the sheer number of singles.
Texas is a very big state.
So yeah, they look at prices, They look at prices of beer and wine. They looked at all kinds of indicators here.
The average boy like somebody, movie tickets, dating opportunities, all of these things were looked at. Where's the best place to be single? In twenty twenty five, Florida wins that honor. I mean there's a lot of attractions there.
I guess I mean Jesus, in Florida, do people go on first dates at Disney like you ever? Like, hey, you want to go to Disney billionaires? Maybe can you imagine just going on a date at Disneyland?
Or is it Disney World? I get the two mixed up. No, Disney World because Oril Orlando. Remember, thank you for that. I ran la, I remember that fun fact from the Shrump. Florida is the best? No, sorry, I hit the wrong thing, got you?
Top ten Best dates for singles Florida number one, New York number two negative?
Is it just because there's a ton of people there? Maybe like that the volume of people has to be part of it. California number three negative? California weirdos. Weirdos. Okay, I haven't been everywhere. I haven't been everywhere. It's like you think you can roll up on somebody in California and start talking to them. You can't same thing in New York. You cannot.
You absolutely cannot. I've been in California single. Let me tell you, I mean I don't.
Have any game to begin with. Let me just let me just be very clear. My game is weak. I don't have game. I don't I don't even I don't even try to roll up on people. I don't. I got nothing. Florida, New York, California. These are the best places to be single.
Texas number four, Illinois, number five, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Massachusetts.
Wow, a lot of places up north. I don't believe it. Those girls are unapproachable massholes Massachusetts. You kidding me? Those are the ones that are it's just stay single. The hugeable are the ones that are more likely to not be single. Go watch all those movies about those those Boston stories. That's how the women are there. That's you can't go rolling up on them. You're not.
Ohio and Minnesota top ten.
Wow. A lot of northern state, a lot of northern states involved. Minnesota. They're basically Canadian, so it's like they're probably really friendly. You know. There's a hard border. Yeah, what you're not understanding because I know you've never met up there.
There's a very hard border right there, and there's a lake. You're on this side. You're an American, doesn't matter.
That's such a thing as a boat. It doesn't. That's like saying that because we're it's like calling us Mexico because we're a border state. No, we're bigger than Mexico, so Mexicano would be the United States, just like they're golf.
Okay, stop bitching about being single. You're in one of the best states to be single. If you are, in fact bitching about.
Making excuses and start making significant.
Either come out and party with us at Cactus Cove on Friday night. But that's the party that I'm focusing on.
Ladies, we should be number one because if you think about it, when other states have mile of meats, uh none, Yeah, so we should be number one based on just that number alone. There's one state, there's one city, there's one radio station. But this does something called the Mile of Meat. Ladies, I need you to show up on Friday morning to
go look at the dudes. And then on Friday night as well, Westheimer and Guestner right in that area, the miracle mile twenty dudes on the roadside wearing the shirts number one through twenty. You have to drive by. I'm not putting them online.
It's not the Mile of Meat online dating club, right, it's the Mile of Meat.
You have to go and drive by and see the dudes.
Call us, persuade us, and convince us why you're perfect for that person that you want.
And I feel like a butcher on those days, you know, like like you can pull into the parking lot and be like, Alex, what do you got for me? I'll take you down the line, I'll introduce you. But what about this guy? This guy has this this guy that he does this thing, look at his beard like, I'll show you all the little cutlets of meat. You can pick the one that you want and then you call in. You're the pimp. That's that's what I but not so much more of a butcher again, like a butcher instead
of a pimp. You're a meat pimp, meat pimp. I'm just a bier. I guess all right, if you hadn't hurt Valentine's days on Friday, guys, you.

Rod Ryan Show nine twenty eight told you about to know the show all that great Marty grass stuff. To come down and party with me a couple of weeks away from that, man, I'm excited.

I absolutely love Marty Gras and the island does it upright, man, So an opportunity to roll with me and do all that fun stuff.
Sit tight, know the show.
Don't forget at the end of the show, Chilie's gonna be pulling somebody's name for read my lips to come down and play live in studio.
Now, I got mixed feelings on this.
I mean, it's it's not good. It's a terrible look. I'll tell you right now, it's a terrible look. Mandy Moore, she's a big actress. Huh.
Yeah.
She started out as kind of like a pop singer and she morphed into more of an actress.
What was it TV show?
This is Us?
Everybody was balling every episode, Like people stopped watching it because they didn't want to cry.
Like every episode was like a tear jerker. Apparently, Manny Moore. Without getting into who she is, she's somebody. Her in laws lost their home. Remember was like that Is that a big movie with her and two?
I think?
Okay, Mandy Moore's in laws lost their home out in California due to the wildfires.
Okay, Yesterday she posted a picture.
Of an Amazon package sitting on the step of these charred remains that used to be her in law's home. It's their address. Apparently somehow you could still see the address somewhere. This home is leveled or.
GPS like a lot of the driver, we would probably take you to where it was. There's nothing there.
There's nothing there, so you have this charred leveled home and a nice new Amazon box sitting right there. She posts, do better, Amazon, Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists?
Shake my head.
Amazon released a statement saying that they reached out to Mandy so they can figure out what happened.
They also said that they've been avising.
Drivers to quote use discretion when delivering to a damaged home, So it's a sensitive thing in that area right now.
I don't I know these drivers are all. I know what you're gonna say, Go ahead, I just hey, what do you do? If you're the driver, You're like, not deliver it? Because then if they're like, what the hell, where's my package? I go by my house where my house used to be every day to pick up packages. Yeah, and it wasn't there, then you're gonna accuse the guy or girl of stealing it. And that could be easily happened.
But like, I don't know, like someone's gonna say, Okay, a little common sense here. Yeah, obviously they are not living in that home. We don't know, we don't know if they're in town. Is that the driver's fault? No, I'm not blaming the driver.
The driver has to deliver four thousand packages in like four hours. They are bam, I gotta go. I gotta go. Like if you brought it to the house and there was an instruction or something like that. Yeah, I don't know. I get it. That does stuck for both sides. But it's weird that guy has paid a certain amount of dollars to do that. I see the people at my apartment complex that are hustling, man like, they have so little time between the deliveries to do anything.
It's when I see him at seven thirty eight o'clock at night all the time, sometimes later. Yeah, and they're delivering. It's you know, long days. They're just trying to They're just trying to get by, like everyone.
You know.
I can see where this is. It's a sensitive issue. The picture floating around out there. If you just you can just google it. I didn't even put it out there. It's just if you type in Mandy Moore and Amazon. It's the stories everywhere this morning, everywhere. I have a bunch of like you have to, I have instructions on my Amazon stuff. We have to call a thing so I can buzz you in so you can get to me if you're coming at a certain time of the day.
And sometimes they don't. They don't read that stuff. And then I get a package where it's like the picture is, it's by the front office, and it's not supposed to be left by the front office. And I can't get mad at the guy. He's just hustling and he's trying to do all of this stuff. It's like, that's just sometimes that's what that's what happens when you order from Amazon. All right, I got I got something here. I got a URL for my bold brothers out there.
P as in Pete h, as in hockey, l as in league pH L study dot com.
Give me a kid with ham long Beautiful. It's a new pill. It's being tested to help with male pattern boldness.

Okay, so that could have been it. You just like obviously your life's been uprooted, so you forget to turn that off. I have made the mistake I have.
Anybody needs any thorough flu just to stop over, because it took me like four months to probably say what the hell is going on?
Why is therap flu showing up?
Yeah, Like, who's who's going through theorough flu? It's the one that's got the partition and it's got the day and the night one. So there's about maybe I don't know, five packets on either side. Let's say there's ten packets in there, they determined, like somebody needs that once a month?
