🎸 Bob’s Rock and Roll News Summary
Queens of the Stone Age released their new single “Where the Goth Girls At” today, with some sources calling it potentially the best rock song of 2026 so far. The title came from a phrase Josh Homme and producer Mark Ronson kept joking about during studio sessions. It’s from their upcoming album “Perfecth” (spelled with an H at the end – intentionally imperfect). The hosts played part of the song, which featured 80s-style elements with signature Queens changes. Matt said the video had visuals somewhere between “Silo” and “Severance.” While they weren’t totally convinced it was the “greatest rock song of 2026,” Chewy confirmed he’d still see them live. Bob also recommended checking out Them Crooked Vultures, the supergroup that mysteriously never made a second album. 🎵 (23:00-29:00)
Rush legends Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson donated more than $700,000 Canadian to help complete a public memorial honoring late drummer Neil Peart in his hometown of St. Catherine’s, Ontario. The memorial project has been in development for years and is planned for Lakeside Park. Bob speculated they might feel guilty touring and making money without Neil, who passed away, but acknowledged it’s a good thing they’re doing as they have tremendous love for him, as do Rush fans. The hosts noted Austin only has two rock monuments – the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue and Willie Nelson statue – and joked about adding a third. They also mentioned there’s a cannon downtown from AC/DC’s “For Those About to Rock, We Salute You” album. 🥁 (29:40-32:00)
Neil Schon of Journey has formally abandoned his plan for a potential offshoot band called “Journey Beyond” that would continue touring after the final frontier tour. He had filed trademark paperwork six months ago but seems to be dragging his feet on completing it, either getting tired or stuck on the details. Meanwhile, his long-term bandmate and sometimes feuding partner Jonathan Cain has confirmed he’s stepping away. The hosts joked about having the two duel with muskets on the shores of the Potomac like in Hamilton, with Bob and Matt playfully arguing about who would win in their own duel. 🎤 (33:00-37:15)
Taylor Swift announced the release of “Life of a Showgirl: The Encore” – essentially the same album fans have already bought five times with four new songs tacked on. The single “Patient Zero” drops tomorrow. Bob advised kids in the “dropout zone” that this is a masterclass in capitalism and squeezing every penny from fans. He noted parents will need to buy multiple variants with different colored vinyl and covers, potentially six more copies for “a baker’s dozen.” The album will cost $30-40 or more per copy. Bob praised Swift as someone who knows how to maximize revenue, joking she could have made a whole new album in the time she’s been off but chose to release variants instead. 💿💰 (37:40-40:00)
Wendy’s has apparently released an emo album, though Bob seemed skeptical it might be a prank and didn’t fully explore the story. The hosts joked about square patties. 🍔😂 (33:00)

🎤 Rock and Roll Shoutout/Salute
Yes! Bob gave a Rock and Roll Salute to Jacob Templin (son of listener Ron Templin) who, at age 16, tried to fight his dad “on cue” as Bob had predicted would happen. Ron sent an email to [email protected] titled “Rock and Roll News Salute Request” thanking Bob for the heads up. The hosts gave Jacob extensive advice: his hormones are on fire, his bones are growing faster than his brain (which won’t fully develop until 35), he has “a cat’s brain but a man’s body,” and his dad will have adrenaline strength because he can’t lose the fight or be “sent out into the forest.” Chewy advised working the body since dads don’t have good knees anymore and to lean into the cross when throwing punches. They joked that mom was secretly rooting for Jacob internally. 🥊😂 (40:00-43:30)
📝 3-Paragraph Summary (Excluding Rock and Roll News)
The Thursday show opened with the hosts navigating Austin traffic chaos and Bob dealing with what appeared to be a cold or illness – his throat hurt when swallowing, his head hurt, and he looked visibly worn out for the first time anyone could remember. Matt offered to let Bob do his spots early in case he needed to bail, and they debated whether Bob should take it easy, though Chewy suspected Bob’s body was weak from dieting. The team from the other station tried to butter them up with donuts, which the hosts received with suspicion. Despite feeling rough, Bob powered through, joking that his voice was his “money maker” and every swallow felt like hot coals. 🤒
Chewy had a busy weekend ahead with three events: today’s EDC lunch at Astra in Buda (where the first 10 people get free lunch at 11:30 AM), tomorrow’s Prenuvo CT/body scan, and Saturday’s UT watch party at Stoney’s Good Time Ranch starting at 11 AM on East 7th Street. The hosts discussed Astra extensively – it’s a smokehouse-inspired restaurant with Italian influences and homemade charcuterie that Matthew Odom from The Statesman called a “banger.” They also previewed Hot Dog Friday, with Matt taking the turn and Chewy teasing it might be the simplest hot dog he’s ever made, leading to jokes about it attending Texas A&M. The UT-Tennessee game Saturday features both orange schools (though Tennessee is more “dreamsicle” while Texas is “burnt umber”), with President Trump attending and fans worried about the politician jinx. 🌭🏈
The show completed their “Most Expensive Countries” list with Norway (#5), Singapore (#4), Iceland (#3), The Bahamas (#2), and Switzerland (#1) topping the rankings. The common thread was food scarcity/expense, particularly in island nations and highly organized wealthy countries. Matt noted that many of these places have restaurant costs comparable to Austin, raising the question of whether Austin should join the list. They also discussed the pronunciation and meaning of various economic development terms, debated whether Bob Schneider has sold more albums than any Austin artist (with pushback about Willie Nelson, Fastball, and Christopher Cross), and playfully argued about who would win in a shooting competition, with Matt confidently declaring he’d out-shoot both Bob and Chewy despite Chewy’s rural upbringing and claims that shooting is “like riding a bike” for him. 💰🎯

📝 5 Paragraph Summary
The second hour kicked off with discussions about Chewy’s upcoming food events – today’s appearance at Astra in Buda at 11:30 AM where the first 10 people get free lunch, and Saturday’s watch party at Stoney’s for the UT game. Matt repeatedly emphasized remembering these two locations, heavily hinting they’ll be important later for Metallica ticket giveaways. The hosts also debated Chewy’s approach to being a “food connoisseur” by taking small bites like “a rat does cheese,” and discussed whether stroganoff should be served over rice or noodles. 🍽️
Matt delivered sobering local news about Austin’s challenges. Scientists confirmed this September will be the hottest on record with temperatures hitting 99 degrees, about 9-11 degrees above normal for late September. AISD is facing a perfect storm of problems – teacher shortages, broken air conditioning during record heat, and a budget crisis exacerbated by diesel fuel costs doubling from $3 to $6 per gallon, creating an unexpected $2 million expense. Matt’s son is still experiencing schedule changes six weeks into school, having been moved to band class despite not playing an instrument, with parents expected to pay for instruments. The airport’s rideshare situation is also worsening temporarily, with the promised improvements not arriving until the 2030s. 📰
The highlight of the hour was an extended conversation with 73-year-old caller Dave Gibbs, a retired oil field worker who’s been listening for over 15 years. Dave shared colorful stories from his life including working for Halliburton, managing a girls’ track team, working as a lookout at the Upstairs Club in Abilene (which had 69 steps), and playing with Ron Howard as a child. He offered the cookbook recommendation “Necessities and Temptations” and shared his signature beef stroganoff recipe made with round steak, mushroom soup, and onions served over rice – sparking debate since Bob insisted stroganoff should be served over noodles. Dave also shared dating stories about “plain top girls” and his grandfather’s memorable advice about women. 📞
A passionate discussion erupted about cooking abilities, with Chewy asking the fundamental question: “If you can’t cook, why not?” The hosts debated whether people truly can’t cook or simply can’t read recipes, referencing comedian Brian Guttman’s joke on the subject. They discussed Jess Pryles’ new cookbook “Prime Cuts” and went through a recipe requiring jalapeño powder, leading to debates about ingredient substitutions and whether one should always keep fresh jalapeños, cilantro, and limes in the house. Bob complained about recipes requiring obscure spices that cost $8 a bottle for a single use, while Matt insisted certain basics should always be stocked. The conversation revealed different cooking philosophies and preparation levels among the hosts. 🍳
The hour concluded with technical preparations for Friday’s show, as the team tested Google Meet video calling to improve their segments with Daniel Van Kirk. The test devolved into comedy as Bob became fixated on his appearance on camera, constantly checking himself and asking about flattering angles. Chewy mercilessly mocked Bob’s vanity, joking that he loves Bruce Springsteen because it’s like watching himself being adored by thousands, and pointing out that Bob does nothing for his “gluteus maximus.” The successful technical test means they’ll be able to see Daniel during his Friday football picks segment, providing better visual cues to avoid talking over each other and making for better entertainment. 💻

📝 Summary
The final hour of the show was an entertaining mix of technical difficulties, bizarre news, and listener interactions. The hosts spent considerable time testing video calling technology in preparation for a remote broadcast, with Bob demanding perfection while Matt just wanted something workable. The technical discussion revealed the challenges of modern radio production and the different approaches each host takes to problem-solving. 🎧💻
The most jaw-dropping moment came when the hosts discussed Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville’s nearly 20-minute Senate floor speech claiming that furries have infiltrated the airline industry. Matt expressed genuine concern about mental health, not of the furries, but of older politicians making such bizarre claims. This sparked an extended discussion about furry culture, with the hosts sharing surprising facts including that a Blue Origin astronaut and the Moderna vaccine co-creator are both furries. The conversation revealed how misinformation spreads and how some people become locked into believing absurd things despite contradictory evidence. 🐺✈️🤯
Chewy successfully promoted his appearance at Astra in Buda at 11:30 AM, where the first 10 people would receive free lunch thanks to the Buda EDC. His “Eat Your Heart Buda” campaign continues to highlight restaurants in the growing community. The hosts reminded listeners about Saturday’s watch party at Stoney’s in East Austin for the Tennessee game, creating multiple opportunities for audience engagement beyond just the radio show. 🍔🏈
The phone callers provided comic relief, particularly James Roberts from Houston who desperately wanted Metallica tickets for his 13-year-old but refused to engage with any furry-related questions, repeatedly insisting “we don’t do that, bro.” His girlfriend Brenda pays for his phone, and he admitted to doing her nails, toes, and hair while being temporarily unemployed. The caller from LA similarly had his girlfriend paying for his phone and would happily “dress like a bird for Metallica,” showing the dedication some fans have for the legendary metal band. 😄📞
Throughout the hour, the show maintained its characteristic blend of technical radio discussion, absurd news commentary, cultural observations, and genuine community engagement. The hosts’ different personalities—Matt’s pragmatism, Bob’s perfectionism, and Chewy’s laid-back enthusiasm—created an entertaining dynamic that kept listeners engaged through technical difficulties, strange political news, and the everyday challenges of producing live radio in 2026. 🎙️✨
