On Tuesday’s show: Matt finally retrieved a nearly 8-foot-tall custom arcade cabinet with 10,000+ games from Big Rick (making his son cry with joy), the crew erupted into an epic debate over whether “pancakes for the table” is revolutionary or just a side order, and Toxic Tuesday got wild with grooming standards arguments about whether people smelled worse in the 1970s plus body count discussions that had Bob citing the Bible. Plus: Austin takes #1 nationally for biggest rent drops (17% for 1-bedrooms!), updates on the ICE shooting incident, Cheuy’s smoke-breath-inducing homemade jerky review, HAM Day featuring 700 local musicians across 230 venues, and Bob discovering he’s been paying double what he thought for his storage unit full of Blu-rays he plans to empty “in two years.”

🎸 Bob’s Rock and Roll News Summary 🎸
Bob Fonseca delivered his Tuesday Rock and Roll News segment with characteristic enthusiasm, covering multiple major touring announcements and new releases from veteran rock acts attempting comebacks after extended breaks.
Kansas announced their first 2027 tour dates, kicking off in Pensacola in January and keeping to warmer temperatures through April before their annual “Cruise to the Edge” event. Bob expressed skepticism about buying tickets so far in advance, suggesting people “wait till the day of the show.” The band won’t hit Texas until October 2027 – over a year away – with their final date scheduled in Austin alongside special guests Mickey Thomas (former Starship vocalist) and Brother Kane. Bob admitted he only knows two Kansas songs: “Carry On My Wayward Son” and “Point of No Return,” before Matt reminded him of “Dust in the Wind,” making them a “three-hit wonder” in Bob’s assessment. 🎼
Bret Michaels of Poison is returning to the stage after serious health issues forced him to postpone his tour earlier in 2024. The frontman was rushed to the hospital in July with a “complicated obstructing kidney stone requiring emergency surgery.” Bob emphasized the importance of proper recovery, noting that Michaels attempted a comeback show on August 21st at the Sugar Hill Bowl in Georgia, but doctors and paramedics immediately determined he needed additional rest. Bob stressed the lesson: “When you’re ill or something’s happening, don’t push it. Convalesce.” Michaels is now scheduled to perform from November through February at various casinos, teaming up with bands like Foreigner, George Thorogood, and Collective Soul. Matt and Bob both admitted they don’t embrace Poison’s musical style, though Bob acknowledged having seen Madonna’s Like a Virgin tour “maybe a couple times.” 🤘
Gnarls Barkley – the duo of CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse – is touring for the first time in 18 years. Bob quipped that “their rent must be due” to explain the reunion. Their previous tour ended with an appearance at Austin City Limits Festival in 2008. Their monster hit “Crazy” is now 20 years old, which Bob calls “one of the greatest one-word title songs of all time.” The nine-city North American run itinerary wasn’t fully available, but Bob speculated they might “squeeze in” Austin given their affinity for the city. Matt explained that Gnarls Barkley wasn’t really a full “act” but rather two guys from different bands doing a side project that ended up producing a second album. 🎤
William Shatner, at age 95, has formed a metal band called The Uckers and recently performed at Riot Fest. His set included talking/performing Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train,” and Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades” in his signature poetic fashion. Shatner has an album coming out described as “a metal album with a little bit of comedy karaoke in the mix,” featuring guests Tony Iommi, Brian May of Queen, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and Dave Lombardo. Shatner’s explanation for his latest career move at 95: “I’ve explored space and time. Now I’m exploring heavy distortion.” Bob commented “whatever, dude” but gave props to Shatner for “starting a metal band at 95,” comparing it to Dolly Parton going rock. 🖖
Beck released his first album in seven years called “Ride Lonesome” last Friday, marking his first new material since 2019. The album is available in various formats including cassette. Bob seemed uncertain about audience excitement level, offering a lukewarm “there you go” when discussing it. The segment wrapped with local Austin relevance as Bob reminded listeners about HAM Day (Health Alliance for Austin Musicians), where Austin becomes “one enormous music festival” with 700 musicians performing at 150 venues from 6 AM to 2 AM, with HEB as the official partner. 🎵

📝 Three Paragraph Summary of This Portion (Excluding Rock and Roll News)
The Tuesday morning show opened with the hosts’ traditional elaborate introductions, with Bob praising producer Chewy as “the hardest working man in show business” who handles everything from FCC paperwork to tower trimming to podcast posting. Matt apologized for being late “for like two weeks” but Bob assured him he was “early for tomorrow.” The morning featured discussion of Chewy’s homemade jerky that the crew had been eating for three days – Matt finished an entire bag despite noting it left him with “smoke breath” until 9 PM. Bob offered constructive feedback about letting the mesquite burn down more before smoking, while Chewy appreciated the honest critique and mentioned his grandfather’s recipe. The smoky aroma was so strong that Bob’s wife could smell it in their house even though it was bagged. The hosts also tackled organizational challenges, with Bob discovering he’s paying $200/month for a storage unit full of Blu-rays, speaker boxes, and gear, planning an ambitious two-year emptying schedule by removing just two boxes at a time. 📻🥩
The show featured an entertaining “Click Click Boom” segment where they discussed 28 hobbies people are “silently judging you for” based on Reddit polling. Highlights included judgments against Disney adults who collect consumables, golfers with too much time, people who make fitness their entire personality, adult K-pop fans, brand fanatics (which Bob defended as “brand loyalty”), and dangerous spelunkers. When “being an adult and smoking weed” came up as a judged hobby, the hosts immediately looked at Chewy, though Matt noted “we bring up your weed way more than you ever have.” The segment sparked great banter about whether someone who wears weed paraphernalia and makes it their whole personality deserves judgment versus someone like Chewy who uses it medicinally. They also discussed true crime obsession, with Matt revealing his wife listens to true crime podcasts on road trips “like she’s doing research,” which concerns him since they’re usually about husbands murdering wives. 🎧😂
The show touched on important Austin music community news with extensive discussion of HAM Day (Health Alliance for Austin Musicians), a massive citywide event featuring 700 musicians, 300+ performances, and 150 venues from 6 AM to 2 AM, with HEB as the official headquarters and partner. The organization provides health services to working musicians, DJs, and music teachers (though Bob noted “DJs left out” of some benefits). The show also made plans for giving away Metallica tickets, with Chewy suggesting a creative contest where callers would have to sing pop songs “in the key of Metallica” or do William Shatner impressions of Metallica songs. They settled on “Caller 7 at 10 AM” (though typically they do Caller 9) since Chewy takes the calls and doesn’t want to wait for two extra callers. A sweet moment included wishing happy birthday to their friend Raj (Rogelio) Rodriguez, a photographer they haven’t seen in a while, with plans to reconnect and maybe take pictures of him instead next time. 🎂🎟️

📝 Five Paragraph Summary
Yesterday’s major news dominated the second hour as Bob provided updates on the ICE shooting incident in Austin involving 28-year-old Will Pettis. Evidence confirmed Pettis was shot in the back by an ICE agent, with the bullet striking dangerously close to fatal zones. Bob emphasized this appears to violate standard law enforcement protocols. Peaceful protests occurred at the Capitol, with crowds dispersing without incident when asked. The situation represents one of several concerning ICE operations happening across communities nationwide, with questions being raised about proper training and use of force standards among federal immigration officers. 🚨
Housing market news brought some relief to Austin renters, with the city claiming the number one spot for biggest rent decreases in the entire country. One-bedroom apartments have dropped 17% from last year (following previous annual drops of 15% and 10%), while two-bedrooms saw nearly 20% declines. The average one-bedroom now costs $1,260, significantly down from the $1,500+ peak. Houston and Dallas also made the top three nationally. Bob strongly encouraged renters to negotiate or relocate, as landlords are hoping tenants won’t realize how much the market has shifted in their favor. 🏘️
The arcade machine saga finally concluded as Matt successfully retrieved an enormous custom gaming cabinet from Big Rick’s house in Georgetown. What Matt thought would be a small desktop unit turned out to be a nearly 8-foot-tall Golden Tee cabinet retrofitted with an emulator containing 10,000+ games from multiple eras. With crucial help from Sawyer Stoll, Matt managed to transport the massive machine, though it now sits prominently in his living room because it’s too large to fit through his hallway. The timing was perfect as Matt’s son had just received a wonderful tour of Rambler headquarters where he got emotional seeing vintage soda cans, then came home to discover this incredible gaming surprise. 🎮
Toxic Tuesday explored CDC data on average lifetime intimate partners, revealing Americans aged 25-49 report an average of just 4 partners for women and 6 for men. The hosts unanimously agreed these numbers seem artificially deflated, likely due to men inflating and women deflating their actual counts when surveyed. Discussion ranged from questioning whether the CDC should focus on this versus pandemic preparation (though Chuy defended it as STD research) to analyzing how geographic location, relationship patterns, and personal insecurities affect both the numbers and people’s reactions to them. The conversation revealed how deeply ego and self-worth become entangled with sexual history comparisons. 💑
Additional discussions included HAM Day celebrations with 700 musicians across 230 Austin venues, Elon Musk’s proposed Austin-to-San Antonio tunnel (which hasn’t actually been discussed with any officials yet), Fat Bear Week voting starting soon, and Matt’s revelation that he was unknowingly invited to join a “guitar Jesus cult” of attractive people living in a mansion on Lake Austin. The hosts also teased their upcoming judging duty for Austin’s Funniest Person competition at Cap City Comedy Club on Sunday, with Chuy already planning his grilled chicken sandwich order. The show maintained its characteristic blend of local news, personal anecdotes, and absurdist humor throughout. 🎸

The Big Food Debate – Pancakes for the Table 🥞:
The major food discussion centered on the concept of ordering “pancakes for the table” – a side order of pancakes that everyone shares so individuals can order what they really want while still getting to taste pancakes. Matt and Cheuy loved this idea, saying it “unlocks the menu” (02:16:40-02:28:15), while Bob was completely baffled by the concept, arguing that getting a side order to share isn’t revolutionary and questioning why this needed to be a “thing.” The debate became quite heated and hilarious! 🥞😂

🧠 Interesting Facts Shared
Toxic Tuesday Topics 💔🔥:
The show featured their “Toxic Tuesday” segment with relationship questions including:
- Discussion about whether men and women cheating is the same (01:42:42)
- Body count discussions and whether it matters (01:42:04-01:44:30)
- Whether it’s a wife’s job to please their husband intimately (01:45:01) – Bob referenced “It’s in the Bible” though he couldn’t cite the specific verse
- Staying in shape during marriage (01:48:36)
Personal Hygiene Debate 🚿💈:
A surprisingly long and hilarious debate about pubic hair, grooming standards, and whether people smelled worse in the 1970s erupted (01:57:52-02:08:39). Cheuy argued that hair traps bacteria and people probably smelled worse in the 70s, while Matt and Bob pushed back, with Matt asking incredulously “Do you think nobody had plumbing in the 1970s?” The debate included discussions of shaving, deodorant, and general hygiene practices. A caller named John (age 29) called in to support Cheuy’s position (02:03:20).
🎤 Memorable Moments
The Pancake Revolution 🥞🎉:
The extended debate about “pancakes for the table” became the most memorable moment, with Bob getting increasingly frustrated at the concept being treated as revolutionary. His exasperated responses like “Do you not understand it’s just a side order of pancakes?” and “I didn’t know I could have a YouTube channel that could blow up by coming up with that calculation” were comedy gold (02:16:40-02:28:15).
The Grooming Wars 💈😱:
The pubic hair and hygiene debate reached peak absurdity when they discussed whether hair makes people dirtier, with Cheuy defending his position that more hair requires more maintenance, Matt arguing it doesn’t make people smell worse, and the conversation spiraling into discussions about 1970s hygiene standards and whether people in that era brushed their teeth regularly (01:59:10-02:08:39).
Bob’s Bible Reference 📖:
When asked if it’s a wife’s job to please her husband, Bob surprisingly referenced the Bible saying “It’s in the Bible, bro” and tried to remember the specific passage, which cracked everyone up since he rarely references scripture (01:45:05).
The Toxic Texter Support 📱💔:
A texter wrote in about losing his virginity at 27 and now at 45 having performance issues, creating a surprisingly heartfelt moment where Matt gave genuine advice about not being lonely and seeking professional help rather than trying to fix it alone (01:52:14).
☎️ Phone Callers
John called in during the grooming debate to support Cheuy’s position that hair requires more maintenance and can hold more bacteria. He was 29 years old and mentioned keeping everything “shaved on the daily” for his lady. The hosts appreciated his call and thanked him for keeping it “demo” (02:03:20-02:05:36). 📞💈
🧪 Facts of the Day
🧠💡 The hosts presented several interesting facts:
- William Shatner offered to wrestle a real Bengal tiger on the set of the original Star Trek series, but quickly backed down once he saw the animal (02:09:23)
- DragonForce only received about $3,000 in royalties for “Through the Fire and Flames” being included in Guitar Hero games (02:10:10)
- Minor Threat was a hardcore punk band that created the “Straight Edge” culture – an alcohol, sex, and drug-free movement where followers marked their palms with an X (02:11:39)
- Female turkeys can clone themselves via parthenogenesis (virgin birth), but this process only produces male offspring due to their ZW sex chromosome system (02:12:24)
- Pierce Brosnan was fired from the James Bond series during a two-minute phone call with producers (02:14:32)
- Evan Almighty was the most expensive comedy ever made at the time with a budget of $200 million (02:15:27)
🎸 Kick Out the Jams Segment
The segment focused primarily on food opinions and trends:
Main Topic: “Pancakes for the Table” 🥞:
Cheuy presented the concept of ordering pancakes as a shared appetizer/side that “unlocks the menu” – allowing everyone to order what they want while still enjoying pancakes. This idea, which he credited to Big Cat from Barstool, sparked massive debate. Matt loved it, seeing it as genius. Bob was completely dismissive, arguing it’s just ordering a side to share and not revolutionary (02:16:40-02:28:15).
The debate got heated enough that Bob dumped 30 seconds of the show just because he could (02:17:13). 🎛️😤
YouTube Career Discussion 📹:
The conversation pivoted to Bob encouraging Cheuy to create consistent food content for social media, arguing he did great work on a recent video and should capitalize on it. Cheuy was resistant, saying there’s “no par” like in golf, and he can’t control algorithms. Bob argued that food content has better potential than their radio content and Cheuy should commit to it (02:24:53-02:27:45).
📝 Five Paragraph Summary
The final hour of the show opened with an extended Toxic Tuesday segment that dove deep into relationship questions about body counts, cheating, and intimacy expectations. The conversation got particularly spicy when discussing whether it’s a partner’s duty to fulfill their significant other’s sexual needs, with Bob memorably referencing the Bible as his source, though he couldn’t cite the specific passage. The hosts received numerous texts from listeners sharing their own experiences and opinions, ranging from funny to genuinely vulnerable, including one from a 45-year-old struggling with performance issues who received sincere advice from the team. The “toxic” nature of the segment was more playful than genuinely offensive, though it certainly pushed boundaries with discussions about physical intimacy and relationship dynamics. 💔🔥😈
The conversation took an unexpected turn into a lengthy debate about personal grooming and hygiene, specifically whether pubic hair and body hair in general makes people dirtier or smellier. Cheuy argued that hair traps bacteria and requires more maintenance, and controversially suggested people probably smelled worse in the 1970s because grooming standards and hygiene products weren’t as advanced. Matt and Bob pushed back hard, with Matt incredulously asking if Cheuy thought people didn’t have plumbing or toothpaste in the 1970s. A 29-year-old caller named John supported Cheuy’s position, explaining his daily grooming routine and agreeing that more hair means more maintenance required. The debate spiraled through discussions of shampooing various body parts, deodorant application, and whether Cheuy would call his own mother fat before the hosts finally moved on. 💈🚿😂
The Facts of the Day segment delivered interesting trivia including William Shatner’s near-tiger-wrestling incident, DragonForce’s surprisingly small royalty payment for their Guitar Hero fame, the Minor Threat punk band creating the Straight Edge movement, and the fascinating biological fact that female turkeys can clone themselves but only produce male offspring. The turkey fact sparked particular interest as the hosts tried to understand the ZW chromosome explanation. Pierce Brosnan’s unceremonious firing from James Bond via a two-minute phone call and Evan Almighty’s status as the most expensive comedy at $200 million rounded out the facts. These nuggets of information maintained the show’s educational angle while keeping things entertaining and lighthearted. 🧠💡✨
The Kick Out the Jams segment became dominated by the “pancakes for the table” debate, which may go down as one of the show’s most passionate food arguments ever. Cheuy presented the concept of ordering a side of pancakes that everyone shares, calling it a way to “unlock the menu” so people can order what they really want while still enjoying pancakes. Matt immediately loved the idea, relating it to his practice of ordering onion rings for the table at Dan’s Hamburgers. Bob was utterly baffled and frustrated, repeatedly asking how ordering a side to share was revolutionary or noteworthy, eventually getting so exasperated he dumped 30 seconds of show audio just to make a point. The debate revealed interesting personality differences – Cheuy and Matt seeing value in naming and codifying social dining practices, while Bob viewed it as common sense that didn’t need special attention. 🥞😤🎤
The show concluded with Bob pushing Cheuy to commit to creating consistent food content for social media, arguing his recent video work was excellent and the food space has more potential than radio. Cheuy resisted, expressing frustration about starting from zero followers, not being able to control algorithms, and having no clear benchmarks for success unlike golf’s “par.” The conversation revealed Cheuy’s perfectionist tendencies and fear of failure, while Bob saw untapped potential. They made tentative lunch plans for Tony C’s and discussed potential Taco Bell or Long John Silver’s visits, with Matt feeling left out of lunch invitations. The segment ended with the ongoing tension between Cheuy’s resistance to influencer culture while simultaneously creating content, Bob’s practical encouragement to monetize talents, and everyone’s genuine love of food and dining experiences. 📹🍔🎬
