Good one, Houston! That's it! It's not a good Friday? It's a great Friday. How are you doing with that? Friday, April 3rd of 2026 at 6 o'clock on the dot. You got Rula, Eric, and Sam. Kevin's out for Easter weekend. And a lot of kids are out for Good Friday. Maybe Easter Monday. So teachers, administrators, and kids schedules are off today. Wow. Yeah, a lot of them. Just us three hanging out here, guys. Are all your kids off today? All of my kids are off. Yeah. Some of them. Your shoe right, Eric? I hope so. One's at your house. I know. I jumped off last night. I didn't even go to your house. I was put a job off. And they said, oh, I jumped me off to this park. Well, that's what I thought. She just appeared. That's what I figured out. She's here. And then I was like, yeah. I go, oh, OK. It's weird. I was at my office by the door. I didn't hear anybody. Yeah, you would have heard her. She was about to knock on the door. I guess she called them. They just showed up in the street because they were walking around. Oh, that's funny. It was so funny. Yeah, she was at my house. That's true. Yeah, they were off. One was off Thursday, Friday, and Monday. Oh, wow. The other one was off Friday and Monday. They all go back to school Tuesday. Yeah, my daycare is closed today. So I was like, uh. I don't know what you do. Marrr. Because you're here in the back. I said, are they here? I didn't see them. They're in Studio 104 taking a nap. Yeah, right. I was like, uh. I can't bring them to work, babe. What do we brought? Santi the one time. We made it do. But two of them on air. There's no way. And run on the board. Yeah. He would not run the board. No, I mean you. Oh, yeah. I was like, yeah. Santi, you're the board. You're better than me. I was like, dang. Yeah, kid, just push that one. And then pull that down. Oh my goodness. Look at his ditties. He's really good at it. There's so many buttons down here. I don't even know what this tower is. We have like a tower underneath our desk. Perfect height. Perfect height for all the buttons. My tail, like, has totally pushed them before. And I was like, I don't know what this is, dude. Are we on the air still? Hello. Probably not. Are we just, you know, nowhere talking to nobody? Right. All right. A lot to do today. More chances for you to get to New York City for Harry Styles and a chance to go to London. And let me clarify, because this was brought to my attention yesterday, you don't have to win the New York trip to win the London trip. If you just enter the keyword, you have a chance at winning the New York trip and the London trip. So doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to win both. And it doesn't necessarily mean you can't win London if you don't win New York. Right. You're just in it. You have a good chance. They get the giant fishbowl. And they're going to pull out the names for these four trips for two to New York. And then they pull out the name for London. It's important to do it every hour. Exactly. Every hour we give you a national keyword. This one is keep, K-E-E-P, keep. Sent to 95819 to enter for a chance to win a trip to New York City, Madison Square Garden for two to see Harry Styles there. And then go further. You can also see him in London. Ultimate Harry Styles concert experience. All right. You know, yesterday's roses happened at 7 o'clock. You probably want to know how that ended up. Here we go. The war is on. It's Roses on the Rula Show with Eric. 104.1. K-R-D-E. All right. Taylor and Evan have been together for two years. They live together in an apartment complex where they have their own washer and dryer. But all of a sudden, Evan's very interested in the laundry room at the complex. That's where he wants to do his clothes. That is a major red flag. Because I don't know anybody, if you have your own washer and dryer in your apartment, which you're probably paying like $50 extra. Yeah, to drag your clothes down to the laundry room. No. Or wash your dryer. Because they put it in my apartment. They made your rent more expensive for it. Because it upgrade, yeah. So you have to carry your clothes. So he has lip gloss on his jacket that doesn't match any color she's ever worn. No, I just must hug somebody at work. And they, you know, your mouth, I hit somebody's shoulder. Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm. Well, I offered him red roses while Taylor was listening in. And here's who he wanted to send them to. Her name is Melissa. She actually, she lives in my apartment complex. So I mean, I guess if I sent him to my house, I could just walk him down to her. Let's figure out if you want her address or your address. But first, since you said Melissa, give me a little greeting for the card that comes along with it. Yeah, just, I don't know. Something short and sweet. Thanks for keeping our nights fun. Thanks for keeping our nights fun. Now, am I going to say love from you or just your name, Evan? Like love Evan or just Evan? Maybe like Evan Exo. OK, that's very popular. So she's going to get these. She lives where you live. Let's the next question I have you is not which apartment's going to get them. The next thing you need to know is you are busted, dude. Evan, this is the realest show with Eric. I'm Eric. That was really you're talking to. It's not like you want to say love. You're listening to us right now. Evan, you can hear this. Taylor, Melissa. Yeah. So what's the deal with with Melissa? Is that why we have all of these late night laundry sessions and walk? Wait, this is a setup? Yes. You guys set me up. 100%. We set you up. We sure did. No, you don't get to be upset about that. So what's going on? What? Why? Why? What's so special about this girl? I don't want to have this talk with you on the frickin' radio. Are you kidding me right now? What is this? I don't want to have this talk at all, but you're the one who's chosen to start seeing somebody in our apartment complex. I'm not seeing anybody. OK? Apparently you are. I'm not seeing anybody. Hold on. I want to interrupt here. But you're saying you're roses. Yes. Yes. Let's interrupt with that thought. You're not seeing anybody, but this person is important enough to you that you told a complete stranger giving you a fictional bouquet of roses from your job, these roses. Melissa's getting them not the woman you live with, who's Taylor. Look. Right. And she keeps your night fun. So would you like to explain what that means? Yeah. Fine. OK. Listen. Melissa and I, we've been hanging out in the laundry room. We just sometimes we go on walks. And look, you know our relationship has been really tough. And we haven't really been able. It is tough. What do you mean tough? What do you mean tough? We don't talk. We're not able to have deep conversations, OK? I don't know what to tell you. Every time I try and communicate and open up, you're doing it right now. You're literally doing it right now. I can't say anything without you jumping in, OK? I'm sorry. You don't get to be mad at me when you're the one who's having a relationship with somebody else. I'm not having a relationship. Yes you are. She just sent red roses with XO to Melissa. Are you guys like even going to the laundry room? He's going to her room. I mean. Yes. That's where we do our laundry. It's a. What do you mean by laundry? So you're just actively cheating on me and you're trying to defend this like this is fine. I'm not cheating. She all she just listens to me. She makes me feel appreciated. That's it. Oh, OK. So you didn't cheat, but you're just auditioning her for your girlfriend. Is that is that what's going on? So you're just going to see if she's better than me before you make a choice. This is what this is what you think is OK. Look, she's just someone that I can confide in and talk to. That's it. OK. If that was true, then why would you not tell Taylor? Hey, I got a friend. Her name is Melissa. You should meet her and she's really nice. But you know, I don't think of her that way, but it sounds like you do. So if you're giving her roses, that's because I'm unfortunately Taylor and I really haven't been able to have a deep conversation in quite some time. So it's difficult to communicate, to be honest with you. Well, maybe you and I could have deep talks if you and I went on these long walks as opposed to Melissa. And also, what exactly was your game plan about having these roses sent to our apartment? You didn't think I'd see them before you had a chance to walk them down to Melissa? That's a great point. I mean, you did consider a home. Maybe you're on them at my place. I'm thinking, isn't Taylor at your place? Yeah. What would you do then? Yeah, that is a good point. I didn't think. Yeah, because I don't know. I wasn't thinking about that, OK? Because all the blood was left your brain to other places you were thinking about. Melissa. OK, listen, we have enough information here for you, Taylor, if you want us to end the conversation. Y'all could just continue on on your own. He is sticking to the story. And it's not an affair, but you have to understand, Evan, how it sounds to everybody else listening, that you have a live-in girlfriend, and you're choosing to give red expensive roses to some girl you take walks with. If he didn't cheat, he's thinking about doing it. It's like Minority Report. You get arrested before you do the crime. Oh, man, that's great. They know you're going to do it ahead of time. So you're just already in jail. I wasn't going to cheat. I think you were. But OK. Y'all talk about that on your own, Taylor. And why don't we check in with you in a couple of days and see how it goes? Because I feel like we're just going to go in circles here now. Yeah, I agree. Thank you guys. At least I know what I'm dealing with. You're welcome. Take care of yourself. Talk to you soon. Bye. All right. And that's how that played out yesterday. So we'll check in with her on Monday. And then if you're looking for stuff to listen to, we did a raw feed yesterday. It was the long one. It was like 20 minutes, 25 minutes. Short and sweet. Yeah, but if you want to get into the mind of Sam, tune into that one. Check it out. The mind of Sam. He'll be like, what? The question you want to answer is, did it happen or not? Yeah. The answer is yes. Did it happen or not? If it not. Did it happen? The event we're talking about, did it happen or not? Oh my god. Oh my god. All right. It's a holiday weekend. It's Easter weekend. It's not like Christmas or Halloween. Everyone's like, oh, I just love Christmas movies. Oh, I love scary movies. What's an Easter movie? What's an Easter movie? Passionately Christ. That's not it. I mean, that's a movie. That's a hardcore. That's a real hard core. Back to an Easter movie. But we're talking about like, happy, go-lucky family comedies. I know. Because every single holiday, I try and watch movies to get Santiago excited about it. What's the one with James Marsden? That's what I thought of. A and a bunny. Oh, hop. Oh, hop. Yeah. James Marsden. Who bought the chocolate eggs or something? I can't remember, but it's like a half live action, half CGI body. Right. And there's Peter Rabbit. Well, there's actually a whole list of movies we've totally forgotten about. Oh, good. That are family-friendly Easter movies to watch. OK. I need to hear this list so that I can watch them. Yeah. Good kids hyped up. Yeah. We're doing Disney on Ice today. Oh, oh. Is it an early show or is it like? They have super early shows. Matt, do you like all of them? They have one at 11, which I'm not doing it, obviously, because I'm on air. Awesome. But I'm doing the three o'clock one. And then they have one at 7, because I'm like 7 o'clock is not. They're sleeping at that time. Yeah. Your kids age. Right. That's not working. So at 3 o'clock, I'm super excited since the kids have off school today. I was like, well, Mark looks like you can't work. So you're going to go to the dollar store and buy one of those little light-up shrub lights. Oh, absolutely. I'm not buying those there. And you're going to be like, don't buy that $30 one. Here's one for you, so. Right. They're young and that's for now. They make them so big now that they're wise to us. They know mom's purse is only so big. Yeah. So we're going to make this one triple-sized. So hopefully he's still in the wheelhouse, Sam, where he's not going to notice the size of it. They're like, oh, yay, look at the fun light. Oh, absolutely. When he's five, you're straight. You had those little squishy light rings. Yes, yes. I keep those, and I bring them to different events. To keep them occupied? Yes. Oh, how fun. They love them so much. Like Santiago loves those, and Mateo loves them, because of how flashy they are. So I just bring those. Yay. And so they still feel included, because then they can use it with their hands and everything, and it's so tiny. Nice. So that's a good idea. Right. Get those around. All right, we're going to give you some scoop next. Here's your official weather for today. It's not as windy as it was yesterday. It is currently 73 degrees. It's not supposed to rain today. It's supposed to rain tomorrow and Sunday. No, man. And the high is going to be 85. We'll be back on the Rue La Chale with Eric at 104.1 K. RBE. Action. Next roll with Vernon Davis. I'm your host, Vernon Davis. OK, y'all, thank you. Thank you. That's my. Today we have Dietrich Wise. Through my example, on the field, off the field, during game day in practice, that was one way that I led, because then it led to success. Next roll isn't about what's next. It's about why they do it. My man, Bobby Bones. Like, I've had a lot of stuff happen, bad and good. And so I don't have any fear of mixing it up. That's powerful, man. Next roll with Vernon Davis. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. It's brought to you by Taqueria Arrandas. And listen, it's not supposed to rain today. I know a couple of days ago we got some crazy little wind whip and sprinkle, and then it was gone. But whatever is going to happen weather-wise, you are not going to wash your car till Monday. And I'm going to tell you why. Earlier this week, we were talking to our friend, Yo-J. God bless Yo-J. He's worked here for like 30 years. He's been working here for like 30 years. He's been working here for like 30 years. He's been working here for like 30 years. He's been working here for like 30 years. He's been working here for like 30 years. He's been working here for like 30 years. And he's in the battle of his life, for real, against pancreatic cancer. And we want to help him and his wife with the financial burden that cancer brings on to a family by raising money for him. And on Monday, we have joined together with Quick Quack Car Wash. On Monday, they are doing a grand opening for the West Timer Location Preview. It's the 9,300 West Timer Location. You can join us from four to seven. The car washes are free for those who donate. Yep, so basically. We're not telling you how much to donate. We're just telling you whatever you can give. Whatever you can give would be awesome. It'd be great for those three hours. What day do we have, Mom? Was it? Monday or Tuesday, I thought. Monday or Tuesday. I can't remember which day. I think it was Tuesday. Was it Tuesday? Because you go to the podcast and listen to it or our socials, I know we talked about it, but just to hear him talk about it. Because when I think about two people that have the Houston sash, I think of Urula and Yo-J. I mean, he went to every UH football game. 740. 740? 740, sorry, 750. For the 7 o'clock hour of the Tuesday podcast. 750, sorry. I mean, he loves the city. He never left. Yeah, loves the city. A lot of his friends left to go do radio other cities. He wanted to stay in Houston. He loves the city. So when she used to do stuff with the Rockets all the time. In the 90s. Yep, yep, yep. And we just love him so much as a colleague. Just a great guy, great human being. I know. That's why we want to help him out. Everybody smiles when he's in the room. He's one of those guys that like, and even he was humbled by how many people have rallied for him friend-wise. Cause social media, people can say, oh, social media is terrible. Social media also shows you how loved you are because he even said like, there are people that haven't, he hasn't talked to him in 30 years from like, you know, his old U of H days that reached out to him and he has a GoFundMe. You can just go to gofundme.com slash Yo-J. And the first picture is Yo-J and Maggie. Think of the word joy backwards. Why OJ? And the reason that's his nickname, his real name is Jerome. Yeah. But in college. Never, never. His real name is Jerome. And in high school and college, they go, Yo-J. They just call him J. And they say, Yo-J. And MTV had a show called Yo MTV Raps. Yo, J. And that's what stuck, Yo-J. And then we've had Michael Yo on the show before, the comedian Michael Yo. They were roommates. That's the first time that Michael Yo was going to Yo-J's apartment with Michael Yo, the two Yo's. Anyway, so we just love him so much. And we're so grateful that Quickwack Car Wash is giving us this grand opening preview for everyone who listens to KRBE to help our friend. So between 4 and 7 PM on Monday, it's free car washes for those who donate. And then there's another layer to this that's great. You know, every Christmas, we help out Texas Children's Hospital by doing a full day of broadcasting there for Houston's little heroes. Quickwack is going to match Yo-J's donations to the Kinder Children's Cancer Center. And that's the joint venture between MD Anderson and Texas Children's. It's huge. So the money that gets donated on the car wash today goes straight to Yo-J. And then whatever that total is, Quickwack will match and give it to kids fighting cancer. It's a great thing all around. So you might be tempted to wash your car this weekend. And hey, guess what? That's fine. If you wanted to, because it was driving you that crazy, that yellow poll will be right back on top of it. Take it right over to Quickwack Car Wash. 9,300 West Timer on Monday between 4 and 7. And the donation is up to you. How much you want to donate? You know, we really want to help him out because the financial burden of cancer treatment is just hell on earth. So God bless him and his wife Maggie and their family, because I know it's been such a tough ride. But we're right there with you, baby. We're right there. If you come up to KRBE because you won something or you need to come visit us, our Spider-Man in the lobby is wearing the Yo-J Strong t-shirt. His wife made t-shirts to sell to raise money. It says Yo-J Strong. And so we put one on Spider-Man in the lobby. I said, you hear his voice every day. He's on every commercial. In the breaks that we do, you'll hear like, brought to you by Dakirirandas. Like, it's always the end of the commercial. Maybe the beginning. You hear his voice all throughout the radio station in the fabric of the radio station all the time. He's our commercial production director. I don't even know it. I know. It's great. So it's Easter weekend. A lot of kids are out of school, which means the teachers are out of school, the administrators are out of school. And maybe you're a teacher and for some reason your clock woke you up and you're just joining us from home with your coffee. Hey, great. I'm glad you're in your slippers and your pajamas hanging out with us. I'm jealous. What are you going to watch on TV today? When you think of a holiday, it's very easy to think of a Christmas movie or, oh, Halloween's coming, a scary Halloween movie. Not many Easter movies come to mind other than James Marsden's Hop. That's the only one I could think of. And I still never even thought that whole thing. And that came out what? Oh, man. 18 years ago? I don't know, 15? And then 2011. 2011, yeah. So there's a whole list of family friendly movies to watch this weekend. You've got the Easter Bunny is Coming to Town. That was a 1977 claymation like Santa Claus is Coming to Town. They went for it. You have to search that one like as an Apple TV or wherever you find those claymations. You just search it. What? I've never. Yeah. Easter Bunny Coming to Town, just like a Santa Claus. There's a claymation. Yes. I love the Santa Claus version of this. But I have never seen this. Yeah. Winnie the Pooh has many different versions of cartoons. But one specific one for Easter was called Springtime with Rue. Oh. Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh is the worst. What? I remember taking my son to the movie theater. I'm like, this is hell. Sure, he was 18, but it was weird. No, he's like, I just remember going, this is the worst. It's not that bad. Because they don't give you anything for parents. Like, at least the cars or, you know what I mean? Like Disney type. They give some nod. They give stuff for parents to like it more than the kids. Just as much as the kids. Winnie the Pooh does not. Well, yeah. I agree with that. Now, Donkey is so depressing. I'm like, I don't need this. Eeyore. Eeyore sucks. I love Eeyore. When you say that Winnie the Pooh was the first version of Inside Out, they were the first version of Inside Out. Eeyore is a depression. Yeah. Or like, you know, sadness. 100%. Phyllis from the office. Yeah. Phyllis from the office as sadness. And Eeyore, can you mention them? Cross promoting in a movie. Hello, sadness. They're both just depressed. Hi, Eeyore. Oh my god. Where's Joy? Oh, that would be awful. I think he went with Joy to go get, with Pooh to get some honey. Anyway, Peter Rabbit, the James Martin, I'm not James Martin, the James Corden, Peter Rabbit version from 2018. That's kind of cute. Did they do a sequel? They did. There's also Peter Rabbit 2, The Runaway. Because Rose Burns in that. Marco Robby's in that. Daisy Ridley's in that. Jeez, let him. Dom Hall Gleason is the main guy in that. James Corden plays Peter Rabbit. I saw the first one. I didn't see the second one. Yeah, that's on Netflix. Yeah, that's a cute one. I'm trying to see which one's I could watch. Yes, there you go. It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown. That's an Apple TV plus. I never saw that one, the Easter Beagle. No, no. I saw that one. We've got Hop. We have mentioned that one already. Here comes Peter Cottontail is another Peter Rabbit type, but not really. And that's another one from the 70s. Something down to something in trade. You can get that on Prime. There's also The Prince of Egypt. That's the one that Whitney Houston and Mariah carry did the song for. That when they promoted the Song of the Oscars, they did a skit coming out in the same brown dress. Looking at each other like who wore it best when they were promoting their song from The Prince of Egypt. Who would you pick? Out of Whitney and Mariah. For me, I'd pick Whitney. I had to pick Whitney. That voice. They're both great. But she in the 80s though, she owned it. She did. 87 or something. And then, yeah, late 80s, early 90s, but God, that voice. And you know what? You just can't top the national anthem. Yeah, good point. You know what I'm saying? I will always forever see that the rest of my life. Every Super Bowl, it comes on your reels. And it's so interesting because if you've never seen, clicked, actually see the whole version of Whitney Houston do the national anthem, it just shows you how we hadn't made the Super Bowl the Super Bowl yet. Because now, people who've seen the national anthem, if it's a woman, it's some grandiose outfit or huge gown or someone takes up half a stage. Whitney was out there like in a windbreaker and a headband. It was like a starter jacket. Yeah. It was like not even. She wasn't stepped up, glammed up. It was like, OK, Whitney, you're going to sing national anthem. Oh, OK, I'm going to sing national anthem. Her little white headband and that giant windbreaker jacket. I think they did that on purpose because the war was starting. Like, you know what I mean? They don't want to go. Yeah, but you still could have done some kind of classy white suit or something to show off the form. I think they want to be like America. Here is, they don't want to be like in your face with a big gown when our soldiers are here. But they weren't doing that then. In 1991, they weren't doing the big pom-pom for Stars Bangle Banner. Do you remember who did before that? Not really. I mean, I didn't care. I was just kidding. I was going to watch football. It was the first halftime show and that was like an 89. I didn't watch that crap either. I just wanted to watch football. Do you remember watching Michael Jackson? I only remember him in the jet pack coming into the stadium, but I don't remember the rest of it. I don't remember that at all. Yeah, I remember up with people. Just kidding. Yeah, people. Oh, that was. New Kids on the Block. You guys showed me that. That was wild. That is crazy, right? That was really crazy. They've come a long way, those halftime shows. Yes, they have. I'm still waiting for Pink. Pink halftime show, or at least they got a sprinkler in, but letting her do the national anthem and then letting her do the halftime show. And if you missed that news last week, there are stories that she's going to take over the sphere in Vegas. That would be amazing. I don't understand why Super Bowl doesn't do a country medley like get three or four artists if you want. They did it once. They did it once. But now it's, I feel like country is so huge. Yeah. There's somebody like young and new. And there's so many crossover artists. That's what I'm saying is that we play, that country stations play. Right. Yeah. By the way. You get a lot of people. Speaking of Pink, I think today is the last day to vote for her to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She's up for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And today is the last day that they're taking the votes for nominations. Let me see. Let me double check. Let me double check. Here's one where I was doing Pink Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yeah, the fan vote ends today. I saw something. I used to chronicle because I have friends with a radio guy here. And he was telling all his listeners to nominate their show and vote for them. I'm like, we never even talk about the chronicle. I guess we're up for some award. Oh, we were up for the, we won it last year. And nobody told us we could go. I would have totally gone to accept it. Well, that shows they see this and then they tell their audience to vote. I was like, I never talked about it. Yes, we didn't talk about it. And we won it. And I didn't even know. You know how I found out about it two years ago? I was at El Tiempo with my family. And on El Tiempo, they have little table tents of like, tucks the manager if you have any questions. On the other side, it said, vote for us. We're up for best of the best Houston. Whatever. Oh, this is cute. So I click the link on the QR code for best of the best Houston. And it showed us in the category for radio. And I was like, oh my gosh, we're up for this. Nobody told us this. And then we won it. And nobody told us we won it. I know. And then they had a whole ceremony to accept the award. We didn't even know it was happening. And I was like, I want to totally show up to accept that. Yeah, we looked like jerks because we didn't show up. Yeah, that's why we didn't win the next year. We didn't know about it. No. If you want to vote for your favorite. We just got to talk about it. So go to the crowd and vote for us if you can. You can do that. And if you want to vote for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, go to vote.rockhaul.com. Vote.rockhaul.com. That's the last day today to vote for the nominees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Pink is pushing that one hard. I think she totally deserves it. She's great. She's great. OK, coming up next, Eric's got some backs. Yeah, usually we do it at 8 o'clock on Fridays. But I got some guests coming in for the Houston gamblers. They're back, baby. Eric, can't wait for the t-shirts. I loved the USFO when I was little. Now that it's back, because the USFL and the XFL, like three years ago, combined. And Coach Sumlin, who used to do UH and the Aggies. He's the coach now. So we'll talk to them at 8 o'clock hour and stuff. Because I guess it starts this weekend. If you're looking for some football, if you've been missing it for the last eight weeks or whatever it's been, we'll talk to them. So that's why I'm going to move my facts to the day until 6.40. So we'll do that in a few minutes. Easter facts. It's like dumb question to end with you without the dumb question. Got a few of those and some relationship stuff. Yep. All kinds of fun stuff. What's next on the Rulisha with Eric and KRBE? It's time for the facts of the day. Oh, yeah! It's stuff that will make you stay no way. No! No way! It's the facts of the day on the Rula Show with Eric. Like I said, you do this at 8 on Fridays, but we're moving into 6.40 today because we've got some guests coming in at 8 o'clock hours. So these are just facts I find during the week. I've got a few Easter facts. Like Sam and Rula, how do you guys eat your chocolate Easter bunny? Oh, like which part? Yeah, the tail first or break it up or what? You got that bunny right there. It's hollow, right? Not solid, you're talking? Is that about a hollow one? I'm going to say solid. Oh, solid. I like the ones that are chocolate-covered marshmallows. Oh, you like the marshmallows? Oh, love those. Like those rustle-stover ones, but they're usually an egg shape, not a bunny shape. No, mine are always bunny-shaped. Really? Yes. Interesting. So when you go for a force of the ears? Yes. I go for the ears. 78% of people go to the ears first. Yeah, they're so easier. And some of the ears, they like want that. Yeah, then he has no ears. It's an easier bite. The hollow one's better because it's not too chocolatey. 22% go for the butt. Nobody goes for the feet? Yeah, if you're going for the butt, I'm like, you're, I don't know, you might be telling me something about you. Listen, one of my favorite stupid jokes ever is two chocolate bunnies trying to talk to each other. And one, someone's eating the ears, and one, somebody ate the tail. And the other tail says, somebody bit my butt, and the other one goes, what? I can't hear you. Oh, yeah, I think it's stupid. It comes around every time. Every time it comes up. It's so dumb, it makes you laugh every time. It's something I can't hear you. This is why Ruella's lucky this week because the United States buys 90 million chocolate bunnies for Easter and 50 million Cadbury cream eggs each year. I love that cream egg. And why am I lucky? Because Greek Easter is next week. Yeah, just count candy, baby. Last year, you had a pay full price. Oh, man. When the Greek, when the Orthodox Christian calendar and the Catholic slash Protestant calendar line up, I got to pay full price for the chocolate. Otherwise, Julian and Gregorian calendar comes in handy for the discounts. You go in on Monday, then, to make your move, or do you do it Sunday after Tuesday? I usually make the move on Tuesday because Monday, they've dropped it to 50%, but Tuesday, they'll drop it to 70%. Sometimes you got to take that gamble because they might sell out. And I remember as a kid when the Reese's peanut butter eggs came out, because that was the first time they ever changed it. Now they do it for anything. Yeah, those are me. But those were so magical. I'm like, oh my god, it's bigger. They do the Christmas trees. Those are the footballs. They do everything now. The pumpkins for Halloween. Yeah. What's in the average American Easter basket? Chocolate and candy, of course, are the top, followed by Easter eggs, toys, and plushies, and then arts and crafts supplies. That's fun. Yeah. What are normally in your guys' kids' Easter baskets? Because a little Easter presents. Toys and candy. That's it, yeah. That's for sure. Yeah, Easter buddy usually brings some toys and candy. Is he nice and he gives you one? Or have you reached the age limit that you don't get one? I think you forgot about me. Yeah, sometimes it happens. Yeah, sometimes it happens. I think Easter bunny got the message that just trying to not have so much sugar in my life. That's enough for my kids for me to snack on their candy. I feel like I need to call wherever the Easter bunny lives and say, you need to give me a map of where you hid eggs in my eyes. Because I don't want to find it four months from now. What the hell does that smell? Yes. You always count. All right, I have 16 eggs that Easter buddy said he gave me and I don't. Yeah, 15. Are you guys dying eggs this year? Are your kids too old? No, no, we like doing it every year. It's just different. Yours aren't fun. Well, we do too. You're just blood red. Yours are like the blood red that I meant like. Well, we do the blood red for Easter. The blood of Christ. For fun. Well, for fun we do the actual pastels and all those different kinds. Yeah, like the tie dye looking colors and all that. We will do that for fun. I'm planning on doing that tomorrow. But I'm so glad I was looking up. Sorry. And then we'll go back to your part. Because this is a fact too. So there's some reason in my brain because I was just like, oh, I want to make it special. I almost forgot that we have to hard boil the eggs. Oh, yeah. I almost just like decide. Right. Yes. Oh, God. What do you have for Easter? Salmonella? Whizzing. Raw eggs. And imagine if they fell in broke while we're trying to hide them. I don't know why. So if you're dying eggs, make sure you hard boil them. Right. Before you die them. That's a lot of eggs that people aren't eating. Yeah, I totally forgot that step. Do you ever see that it was a hack to make eggs faster? You put them in the oven in like a muffin. In the muffin man? The muffin man? You had to make them hard boil. But I'm like. Have you tried that? The real is an air fryer. It didn't really work. Oh, what? It smelled like a house of like farts. Really? Really? Yeah, eggs. It was gross. Don't ever do that. No. Just boil them in the thing. That's what I'm saying. Then do an ice bath. How much are eggs now? I mean, they're still expensive, I feel like. They're not $8 for the regular. They're $8 for the cage free fancy ones. But they're still like $4 a dozen or $3 a dozen? Yeah, they're pretty expensive. And also, if you see a hack where you do the coloring of the eggs in a pan with shaving cream and food dye, I saw that a lot, only do that if you're not going to eat the eggs. Right. Because the shell is porous. And people are saying you're not supposed to do that with shaving cream. It's going to permeate through the shell. Do it with cool whip. Right. That's what I'm planning on doing. All right, good times. Let's see how that works out. We did the Easter Egg Hunt with my family out on the farm. And the eggs would be out there. Pretty much on the fridge. Yeah, they're pretty much on the fridge from like 8 or 9. Did you still eat them? Yeah, the evening would eat them. And then you'd eat sick. Yeah, I think I got sick. No, never. It was the magical barrier of Easter. We always did like hardwood, did deviled eggs with them. Yeah, crazy. Once you found them, deviled eggs. Crazy. Deviled eggs. You got to bring some of those. You always brag about your. Oh, no. Maybe I'll try and bring them in Monday. Crayons are the most likely thing a kid will stick up their nose. Did you know that? Really, a crayon? Yep. You know what number two is? Their finger. Peas. Corn. Peas or corn? It's food. It's food. Something like that. French fries. Yeah. French fries, really? Well, because it's a shame like a crayon. A shame of a crayon. I got a chickpea stuck up my nose. You would put up your nose. What? I got a chickpea stuck up my nose and I was a kid. And I was thinking, oh my god, I can't get it out. Oh my god, I can't get it out. Like maybe my sister were bored and we thought we'd be funny. I go, look at how funny. And I put that up my nose. I could not get it out. And we were trying to push it down from the outside of my nose. Like get it down this way. It's like, oh my god, I can't get it out. A chickpea is way bigger than your nostril. I don't know how it popped up there. But I was thinking, oh god, we go to the hospital and get it out. But finally, we just worked it out again. That is so gross. Is it true why like lifesavers have a hole in it? Is that true? Because if you swallow it. Oh, they choke on them? Oh, that's a great idea. Or is that just a myth? I mean, I think it's a good myth if it is. Why would you make those and punch the hole? Because then you lose that little extra part of your lifesaver. Well, and also that's a huge choking hazard for children. Think of like when you cut hot dogs up, you're not supposed to cut them up in discs. You cut them, you're supposed to cut them lengthwise and then cut them again into little wedges. You're not supposed to make them look a little pennies. Oh, really? Because that'll choke a child. Oh, it is a myth. Is it a myth? Yes, it's a myth that the hole in Lifesavers Candy was designed to prevent choking while the urban legend claims that the creator added the hole after his daughter choked. The actual reason is marketing based. It's to create a unique, non-melting summer candy shape. What do they do with the extra pieces? Do they make those little mints that those mints I have? They look like little BBs? Yeah, I thought Eric had like pills over here. And I was like, what are you doing, dude? He's like, these are mints. I was like, they look like they were like pharmaceuticals. These are weird. I wonder what Sam's medicine cabinet looks like, guys. That's what you thought. And one more. This is a good one. Out of 100,000 paper clips released throughout one company's workforce, 5,300 of them will be used to clean your fingernails. Ew. Ew. I know it's a small amount, but that's gross. That is really gross. Think about that next time you pick up a paper clip at your office. They do fit nicely. There you go. Ew. That was... It's time for the facts of the day. It's stuff that will make you stay no way. No way! It's facts of the day. On The Rula Show with Eric. Yay! All right. It's time for What's Going Down in H-Town. On The Rula Show with Eric. 104.1 K-R-B-E. It is brought to you by Easy Fiber. I want to remind you again, if you are tempted to wash your car this weekend, please don't.

That's the joint venture between M.D. Anderson and Texas Children's Hospital. We have three hours then there to make as much money as we can. Three hours on Monday, 9,300 West Timer is the location. It is the grand opening preview. So you can see the new car wash as we raise money for our long-time friend, the commercial production director here at K-R-B-E. He's been on the radio in K-R-B-E for some way, shape, or form for 30 years. That's crazy. He started here in 94. Wow. And we love him. Everybody loves him. This is like his whole like... He's all U of H. He's all Houston all the time. Pretty much whatever he was in college. Oh my God, yeah. He started here. He started in college. So he is undergoing cancer treatment for pancreatic cancer and quick quack car wash. 9,300 West Timer is the spot from 4 to 7 p.m. on Monday. Monday, Monday free car wash. We should actually donate. I'm going to give it to YoJ and Maggie so they can offset some of their tremendous medical expenses. All right. Coming up next, it is time for a prank call. And of course it's Easter related. Special K needs a caterer for his bunny bust in Easter party. Is that like sending his mutton bust in? Bunny bust in? I don't know. We never know with Kevin. Are we going to put toddlers on big bunnies? I mean, some of those bunnies get real big. I've seen them at the AgAvenger. Yes. I had the farm show. They're massive. They would like eat misty my dog. Are we going to have bunny bust next? What is this? We're all going to find out on the Rue LaSalle with Eric at 104.1 K RBE. Action. Next roll with Vernon Davis. I'm your host Vernon Davis.
