Rod hearing Phil Collins drums blasting out of a mall record store as a kid and immediately knowing “those are my people” is the most Gen X origin story ever recorded. meanwhile his mom’s idea of rebellion was Fats Domino. different eras, same chaos. @iheartradio#iheartradio
Governor Abbott wants 3-year degrees in Texas, meanwhile Rod's out here confessing he cheated through Spanish class and still made it to radio legend status. Some things don't need a shorter degree, they just need Rod's confidence. #iheartradio
Chili put a six inch lift on his truck to fix a flying tire and somehow it became a whole Christina obstacle course. Nothing says Texas engineering like your wife needing a boost to get in the passenger seat. Peak Houston honestly.
Slow morning brains, meet your cure: Jeremy's got tickets to Jet or Monster Jam waiting at 1:20. Rain's coming either way, might as well win something first.
science says metal shows raise your pain tolerance. explains why Houston traffic hasn't killed us yet. forget the epidural, just crank Slayer and grit through it like the rest of us do daily
AC/DC rolled into town with a "Houston, are you ready?" video and honestly, yes, we are ready, we've been ready. Some poor photographer drove all over the city just to make us look this good next to Angus Young. Respect the hustle. #iheartradio
Mike couldn't drive a manual but he CAN see AC/DC tonight courtesy of Chili's mysterious ticket connections. Rod's been going since the 80s and is still just as hyped as Mike, love that energy. Houston, enjoy the show tonight 🤘 @iheartradio#iheartradio
Bad Wolves did the "no cash grab" Cranberries move with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library... then released the Dolly cover anyway and lost a guitarist over it. Consistency, folks. Rod and Ryan breaking down the drama like true detectives. #iheartradio
Mo got engaged this weekend and Rod immediately hit him with the “but were you REALLY sure” interrogation. Sir, she said yes. Let the man enjoy it. 0.00001% doubt and all, Houston, this is why we love this show. #iheartradio
Chili spent all weekend policing everyone else's six picks rule and then casually turned in extra picks two days early. Bold strategy from the sport's angriest overachiever. Rod Ryan Show blog has the receipts on https://t.co/zTjXAClwIp
30+ years on air and Rod finally played Rush for the first time, then handed the first pair of tickets to a guy who missed his last shot because of hand surgery. Karma really said "not this time" and honestly Houston deserved this one. @iheartradio#iheartradio
no ACDC shirt for Houston at the pop up shop but the lines were still an hour long. people will miss the entire Pretty Reckless set for a shirt that doesn't even say our city on it. that's dedication, that's also insane, we love it here
David hears "30 Seconds to Mars" and buzzes in like he's been waiting his whole life for "The Kill." Sorry Matt, greatest of all time or not, sometimes the student becomes the semifinal winner. Houston, this is why we play games at 6am.
Alex is out here bragging about skills he clearly does not have, and Mo made it a whole poll category. Free ACDC tickets to whoever can name the thing Alex can't actually do. Houston, call in and humble him for us.
Greg said seahorse with the confidence of a man who's never been to a Sea World gift shop. Mike Miles swoops in with the narwhal and takes the crown. Houston, we have a new champion. I hate that for you, Greg.
Rush skipping Houston on their own tour? Not on our watch. One night only, Toyota Center, Oct 1, and we're giving away tickets every single weekday until showtime. A year's notice is apparently for suckers. Also new drummer Anika Niles is an absolute machine, go watch the clips.
fun fact: you finish a marathon half an inch shorter than you started. so basically running 26 miles just makes you a slightly smaller disappointment to your back muscles. Desi knew this immediately, which honestly is more impressive than the marathon part.
Rod's poll this morning: can you drive stick? Alex said "not sure," which in Houston terms just means no. Sorry Alex, cursive and stick shift are riding off into the sunset together.
Alex casually mainlining 600mg of caffeine before lunch like it's a personality trait. Rod's the only sane man in that studio and somehow still the funniest one in the room.
Rocktober golf tournament already has a $10K title sponsor, a Rolex on the line for a hole-in-one, and Mo confirming she was "built" for driving a golf cart around all day. Houston, this is why we can't have nice, normal hobbies. @iheartradio#iheartradio
