☣️ TOXIC TUESDAY SEGMENT (01:19:47 – 01:32:32)

Topic: Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) legislation and whether it should include mental health provisions. 🧠🇨🇦

Matt’s Take: Shared personal experience – made two suicide attempts in the early 2000s. Argued that a regulated assisted suicide system helps identify people in crisis and gets them into ‘the system’ for help. Said he was ‘the mayor of Crazy Town’ until entering treatment. Current approach of scaring people away from suicide is ‘stupid.’ ❤️‍🩹

Bob’s Take: Uncomfortable with the topic. Worried about ‘traps’ involving religion. Said tomorrow could always be better for someone with depression. 🙏

Chewy’s Take: Mental health treatment is still evolving – different treatments work for different people. Believes Canada has ‘absurd amount of protocols.’ Topic has been ‘sensationalized.’ Newer generations are more open about mental health issues. 🧬

Caller Clarification: A caller noted the law does NOT include mental health – you can’t just say ‘I’m depressed, I want to die.’ It requires terminal physical illness with pain. Also noted the original listener was probably an Alex Jones listener who sensationalized the story. 📞📡

📝 COMPREHENSIVE SHOW SUMMARY

– Show Opening: 🎙️

The Tuesday, January 10, 2023 episode of ‘Mornings with Matt and Bob’ on KLBJ-FM Austin opened with the hosts’ signature theatrical introductions. Chewy introduced Bob Fonseca as a Texas Radio Hall of Fame member, while Bob introduced Matt Bearden wearing his distinctive Western-style jacket that they jokingly compared to Yellowstone costumes. Matt arrived late due to ongoing gout issues. The hosts announced their 2023 slogan: ‘Run Fast’ – encouraging listeners to keep up with their ambitious plans for the year, including exciting announcements coming in February and March. 🏃‍♂️💨

– Nods to the Odd: 🤪

The show kicked off with their ‘Nods to the Odd’ segment featuring two dumb criminal stories. First, a Tulsa porch pirate named Spencer Goulier was arrested after attempting to disguise himself with red women’s panties on his head – a disguise that hid nothing.10 The hosts spent an extended and hilarious amount of time attempting panty-related puns, with offerings like ‘Thong or right, this man is going to jail’ and ‘A Hanes-est crime.’ The second story featured Anthony Thomas Tarduno, 48, of Florida, who set a police patrol car on fire and then returned to confess to officers, explaining ‘I’ve been drinking in a bar, I decided I’d like to set it on fire.’ 👙🔥

– Bob’s Rock and Roll News: 🎸

Bob Fonseca delivered his signature Rock and Roll News segment with stories about Jack White appearing on American Pickers to restore a mobile recording studio truck, Elvis Presley’s dilapidated private jet selling for $260,000 at auction on what would have been his 88th birthday, and a UK woman who made £250,000 selling bootleg band t-shirts (Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters) but only had to pay back £140,000. Rock and Roll News Junior featured Lizzo doing Avatar cosplay on TikTok. Bob gave a special shoutout to Devin, a fan who recognized his voice at League Kitchen and Tavern while watching the national championship game. 👕👑

– Sports Commentary: 🏈

Bob went on an extended rant about the overkill of sports coverage after watching the TCU vs Georgia national championship game (which Georgia won 65-7). He counted 16+ commentators covering a single football game and questioned why so many ‘jock sniffers’ were needed to describe ‘boys playing a sport.’ A caller pushed back, defending TCU’s right to be in the championship despite the blowout loss. The hosts also discussed the competitive nature of radio, noting that KLBJ-FM competes for ratings ‘in tenths and hundredths of rating points’ and discovered they’re competing against themselves on HD radio sub-channels. 🏟️🎙️

– Tim Hortons and Local News: 🍩

A major discussion erupted over Tim Hortons’ plans to open 40-50 locations in the Austin area within five years. The hosts examined the menu (Timbits, ice caps, bagel BELTs with lettuce on hot eggs) with mixed reactions – Matt rejected the Canadian maple leaf branding for Texas, while Chewy was more open to growth. Other local news included Austin giving away free winter prep kits (despite 80-degree January weather) and casting calls for the Yellowstone spinoff ‘1883: The Bass Reeves Story’ seeking extras in North Texas. ❄️🤠

– Toxic Tuesday – Mental Health Discussion: 🧠

The show’s Toxic Tuesday segment tackled Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) legislation after a listener requested they discuss it. Matt Bearden shared his personal experience with two suicide attempts in the early 2000s, arguing that regulated systems help identify people in crisis and get them help. Bob expressed discomfort with the topic, worried about religious ‘traps.’ A caller clarified that the Canadian law does NOT include mental health – only terminal physical illness qualifies – and suggested the original story was sensationalized by Alex Jones. The hosts concluded that talking honestly about mental health, even using terms like ‘Crazy Town,’ reaches more working people than clinical podcasts. 🇨🇦❤️‍🩹

– Click Click Boom – Liar Movies: 🎬

Inspired by the George Santos scandal (the NY congressman who fabricated his entire biography), the Click Click Boom segment featured Lifehacker’s 15 best movies about liars. Highlights included The Talented Mr. Ripley, Catch Me If You Can (about real-life forger Frank Abagnale), The Usual Suspects, The Departed, and the #1 pick Barry Lyndon – Stanley Kubrick’s period piece famous for filming with actual candlelight. Bob revealed he dislikes Matt Damon (‘liked him as a Martian, but that’s all’), while Chewy zoned out during the Leo DiCaprio discussion. Matt shared meeting Tony Curtis at an art gallery in Vegas. 🤥🎥

– Pickleball vs Roller Derby: 🏓

An email from a listener sparked discussion about pickleball players taking over roller derby skating areas in Austin, specifically at Fourth and Chicane. Matt, who previously appeared on the reality show Roller Girls and called matches, tried to remain neutral in the ‘pickleball wars’ while noting they’re friends with the marketing officer of the Association of Pickleball Professionals. Chewy declared pickleball ‘a fad’ while roller derby is ‘a culture.’ A caller named Indy stated that ‘any sport with pickle in the name shouldn’t be played.’ 🛼⚖️

– Travel Trivia Contest: ✈️

For National Shop for Travel Day, the hosts ran a travel trivia contest where callers Shelly and Chris competed to name cities from attribute clues. The segment produced comedic moments when Chewy’s Houston clues (double cup, screw tape, strip clubs) confused contestants unfamiliar with DJ Screw, and when the London round required an absurd number of clues (Big Ben, Parliament, Queen, Union Jack, fog, bobbies, ‘the bridge is falling down’) before Shelly finally got it. Chris won 4-2 and earned 4th row tickets to the Sinners & Saints concert featuring Vince Neil, Stryper, Steven Adler, and Vixen on April 13th. 🎡🏆

– Bible Mike and Canyon: 👨‍🏭

Fan-favorite recurring callers Bible Mike and Canyon called in, revealing themselves as structural steel welders in a band called ‘Older’ (hardcore/Deftones style). Canyon, 24 with a kid, has a full Pantera sleeve tattoo and a welding helmet that says ‘CFH’ (Cowboy From Hell) – the Pantera concert is on his birthday. Bible Mike, almost 30, has a pink ribbon on his helmet. They described their lunch of beef fajitas with Carolina Reaper cheese from HEB and Valentina hot sauce – prompting Bob to explain ‘hot snakes’ (the aftermath of spicy food) and suggest McDonald’s ice cream cones as a remedy. The hosts mused about doing a Simple Life-style reality show with the duo. 🤘🔥🍦

– Panty Puns Return: 👙

Near the end of the show, Chewy attempted to revive the panty puns from earlier, delivering ‘The alleged suspect was brought into custody where he was fingered by witnesses’ and ‘He was booked, but he was discharged.’ Matt criticized bringing back the bit without ‘a bigger home run,’ leading to self-deprecating acknowledgment that they couldn’t roll their eyes at Bible Mike and Canyon’s antics while producing material of similar quality. The hosts embraced the comparison: ‘They see something in us that reminds them of them… Except we can’t even weld over here, bro.’ 👮‍♂️👉

– Station Business: 📻

Throughout the show, the hosts discussed KLBJ-FM’s ‘Countdown to 50’ celebrating the station’s 50th anniversary as a rock format – making it one of approximately five longest-running rock stations in the US. They revealed their one-year anniversary on the show is coming up around April 1st. A caller named James discovered the show hadn’t been cancelled – he’d accidentally been listening to an HD radio sub-channel playing metal since Thanksgiving. The hosts discussed how competitive radio has become, with ratings measured in ‘tenths and hundredths of points’ and acknowledged that not everyone agrees with all the ‘formatics.’ 🎸📈

– Show Wrap-Up: 🎙️

The show closed with plans to hook up Bible Mike and Canyon with tickets to the Sinners & Saints concert, joking they’d ‘burn the HEB Center down’ but could ‘dress them up as welders and get them in there.’ Throughout the episode, the hosts demonstrated their chemistry and willingness to tackle both silly topics (panty puns, dumb criminals) and serious issues (suicide, mental health) with equal candor. The 2023 slogan ‘Run Fast’ was reinforced multiple times, promising listeners more content, surprises, and the authentic, unpolished discussions that define the show. Matt signed off noting ‘That went by quick today. We’re back in tomorrow. We do it all again and then the day after that, the day after that.’ 👋✨
