Bob’s Rock and Roll News segment:

27:20-32:15

Bob Fonseca delivers his signature “Rock and Roll News” segment with his usual disclaimer: “I don’t make the news. I just report the news. So don’t kill the messenger.”

The first story involves a Disney Plus documentary featuring Bono and The Edge titled “A Sort of Homecoming.” The documentary also features talk show host David Letterman and is described as “part concert movie, part travel adventure.” The preview shows the rockers walking through Dublin with Letterman, including performance footage and clips of them singing with others at a local pub. Bob wonders if they’ll go busk on Grafton Street, a famous Dublin location. There’s discussion about why U2 has been getting a “bad rap lately,” with Bob defending Bono’s self-deprecating nature in his bestselling book, while Chewy and Matt mock the fact that he wrote 800 pages about how humble he is.

The second story concerns Puddle of Mud singer Wes Scantlin, who was arrested on Monday on a misdemeanor trespassing charge. The arrest came after he allegedly showed up at a home which he had lost to foreclosure. Bob comments, “I hate to see it when rockers run out of dough. That’s when you go on a reunion tour.” Chewy suggests they play a Puddle of Mud track just so Scantlin can earn his streaming royalties of “17 cents” or “15 something cents.”

The final story involves Twisted Sister guitarist JJ French throwing shade at Rolling Stones members Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood. French has been making social media posts claiming that “Ronnie the Woodster and Keith” are poor guitar players who “really need help.” In interviews, French stated that Richards and Wood “can barely play and occasionally employ backstage guitar players,” and that “in a band like the Rolling Stones, the only one in the band who’s actually good these days is Mick Jagger.” Bob notes that JJ French wasn’t in Rolling Stone’s top 100 guitarists list, sarcastically suggesting maybe he was number one.

Throughout the segment, there’s typical banter between the hosts, with Matt and Chewy occasionally interjecting with jokes or questions. The segment maintains Bob’s characteristic delivery style of presenting rock news with commentary while reminding listeners he’s just the messenger.

Bands talked about during Bob’s rock and roll news segment:

• U2 (Bono and The Edge)
• Puddle of Mud
• Twisted Sister
• The Rolling Stones (Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger)

3 paragraph summary of this portion of the show (excluding Bob’s Rock and Roll news):

The show opens with the hosts doing their typical energetic introductions, with Bob introducing Chewy as the “future governor of the state of Texas” and praising a breakfast Chewy had at El Dorado. Matt introduces Bob, noting he’s wearing navy blue instead of his usual black attire. The conversation quickly turns to plans for a bone-in pork chop lunch at Perry’s, though Bob expresses hesitation about going, creating some awkward tension. They discuss whether Bob’s friend Mike will join them and possibly pay for the meal.

The conversation shifts to Little Debbie snacks, particularly Nutty Buddies, with extensive discussion about how Little Debbie keeps prices so low compared to candy bars and even Hostess products. They explore the Little Debbie factory in College Dale, Tennessee, joking that it looks like a funeral parlor or government building. The hosts debate their favorite Little Debbie treats, with Bob favoring Swiss rolls and Chewy preferring Strawberry Shortcake. This leads to a humorous proposal for a bracket-style competition to determine which food mascot lady is the hottest, including Little Debbie, Betty Crocker, Aunt Jemima, and Mrs. Butterworth, with male mascots like Mr. Clean and the Brawny Man also entering the discussion.

Matt presents the “Click Click Boom” segment, going through various clickbait articles about entitled people making ridiculous requests for discounts. Stories include someone offering to send their wife in a miniskirt for a discount on a $20 TV, a couple asking for $3,500 in donations while attending “Jesus School” in Florida, and a Beanie Baby collector requesting $500 monthly for cannabis and self-care. This sparks an extended and hilarious conversation about drug dealing, Facebook Marketplace etiquette, the evolution from “dirtweed” to “lab-grown marijuana,” dealer apps, and why you have to hang out with dealers instead of just making quick transactions. The hosts reference movies like Boogie Nights, Breaking Bad, and The Office while discussing their limited knowledge of the drug trade.

Summary

The second third of the show primarily revolved around an extended and hilariously explicit “Question of the Day” segment asking which food mascot would be “the best shag.” The conversation began with Bob’s “Rock and Roll News Junior” segment, where he discussed JJ French’s claims about the Rolling Stones using backup guitarists and Selena Gomez taking a break from social media. Bob endorsed her decision and encouraged young listeners to read books and stay in school instead of spending time on social media.

The show then briefly touched on the controversial “donut affair” incident in Austin that had made international news, with Matt pointing out that all five arrested individuals were from other Texas cities, not Austin. This led to jokes about defunding the police and whether Austin was actually as lawless as portrayed. The hosts playfully discussed minor acts of rebellion like tearing mattress tags and ignoring check engine lights.

The bulk of this segment was dominated by the food mascot question, which generated numerous calls and became increasingly absurd and sexual in nature. Callers suggested everyone from Little Debbie to Tony the Tiger, with detailed explanations about why each would be good in bed. The Land O’Lakes lady was particularly popular, with Chewy having predicted earlier that she would be a top choice. Other notable mentions included Mr. Clean (for his muscles and cleaning abilities), the Pillsbury Doughboy (for being “soft and pillowy”), and Chester Cheetah (despite concerns about orange fingerprints).

The hosts displayed images of various mascots throughout the discussion, making observations about their physical appearances and potential sexual prowess. Matt noted uncomfortable similarities between himself and the Michelin Man. The conversation included references to discontinued or altered mascots like Aunt Jemima and noted tricks like the Land O’Lakes “boobs” image manipulation. Bob showed genuine concern about his personal life when caller Kathy expressed sympathy for what he was going through, though he assured her things were getting better.

The segment concluded with a “Nods to the U” story about a Toronto couple who returned from a month-long vacation to discover their house had been sold by imposters using fake IDs. The hosts expressed both shock and a strange admiration for the audacity of the criminals, with Matt admitting he’s too nervous to commit premeditated crimes, while Chewy confessed to anxiety even when using incorrect produce codes at self-checkout. The segment perfectly captured the show’s blend of juvenile humor, caller interaction, and occasional moments of genuine emotion and vulnerability.

Summary

The final third of the Matt & Bob show opened with their “Nuts to the Odd” segment, featuring bizarre news stories from around the world. Matt shared several unusual incidents, including a Brazilian attorney who died after being shot by his own gun when an MRI machine’s magnetic field caused it to fire, and a naked man terrorizing a Des Moines hotel with a toilet plunger. The stories sparked discussions about public incidents and losing one’s mind, with Bob sharing memories of his own past confrontations, including a jewelry store episode where he was on steroids for an infection.

The conversation took an unexpectedly morbid turn as the hosts began discussing their eventual deaths and where they’d want memorial tributes held. This was prompted by their promotion of a tribute show for former station personality Johnny Walker, scheduled for the next day at Antone’s. Bob wanted the Honda Stage at ACL Live despite admitting he once drove a light blue Honda Accord, which the others mercilessly mocked as the least fun vehicle imaginable. Matt suggested the Shortstop drive-through on 7th Street, while Chuy wanted people to do spontaneous activities in his memory.

The Honda discussion evolved into a lengthy tangent about cult marketing and restricted supply, with Bob explaining how Honda and Harley-Davidson created artificial scarcity in the 1980s to drive demand. Matt joked that their radio transmitter freezing during the recent ice storm was similar cult marketing. The conversation about Hondas and what they represent about a person’s character became increasingly absurd, with the hosts agreeing that driving a blue Honda Accord advertises that you “know what a Roth IRA is.”

Matt proposed an elaborate post-death scavenger hunt where his dismembered and mummified body parts would be hidden around Austin, with winners receiving a radio flyaway to Branson, Missouri. This macabre suggestion led to dark humor about missing children and cemeteries being paved over for condos. Connor called in with terrible phone quality, providing comic relief as his connection repeatedly cut out, leading to jokes about Boost Mobile and restricted supply.

The show wrapped up with promotional content about upcoming events, including a show at the Hotspot in Cedar Park and the Johnny Walker tribute at Antone’s. Bob promoted Austin FC’s opening day at Q2 stadium and discussed Christopher Waters’ real estate services. Throughout the segment, the hosts maintained their characteristic balance of inappropriate humor, genuine sentiment, and chaotic conversation, acknowledging their diverse audience that ranges from feminist callers to those threatening violence, describing it as their “secret sauce” of being both “feminists and sexists.”
