Bob’s Rock and Roll News segment:

Bob Fonseca’s Rock and Roll News covered several music industry stories. The Red Hot Chili Peppers topped the segment with their second number one album in 2022, “Return to the Dream Canteen,” selling 63,000 units. This achievement made them only the second rock band since System of a Down in 2005 to have two chart-topping albums in one year. Earlier in 2022, their album “Unlimited Love” became the best-selling rock album since Paul McCartney’s “McCartney 3” in January 2021.

David Crosby made headlines by calling Iron Maiden “noise” on social media. Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick responded diplomatically, suggesting that Crosby should experience Iron Maiden live to understand the contagious energy. Skolnick expressed how much fun he had with his “inner metal head still smiling,” demonstrating a respectful approach to the generational divide in rock music appreciation.

In vinyl news, Creed announced they’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album “My Own Prison” with its first-ever vinyl release on December 2nd. The album, which has never been pressed to vinyl before, will be available in various limited edition exclusive variants at different retailers, including opaque orange vinyl at Walmart and root beer vinyl at Target. Bob also reminded listeners about the remix/remaster of The Beatles’ “Revolver” coming out Friday.

The Rock and Roll News Junior segment focused on Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, reporting that despite working through relationship struggles, the couple is still planning their wedding, though no date has been set. A source close to the couple indicated they’ve worked hard on their problems and are in a better place, noting that MGK is “making a lot of effort to be more mature.”

Bob concluded the segment with Rock and Roll Salutes to two of his “stringers” who supply him with stories: Burley Man and Robert Nanez. He thanked them for being “real rock and rollers” before signing off with his signature line about seeing everyone “in the skybox.”

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

• Red Hot Chili Peppers
• System of a Down
• Paul McCartney
• Iron Maiden
• Testament
• The Beatles
• Creed
• Machine Gun Kelly
• Joni Mitchell (during gift opening segment adjacent to rock news)

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

The show opened with the hosts discussing mysterious boxes they all received as gifts. The conversation quickly turned to Bob’s recent dining adventures, particularly his visit to Mr. Gatti’s buffet where he successfully obtained a senior discount for $7.99 without even being asked for ID, much to Chewy’s amusement who filmed the interaction. Bob revealed exclusive inside information from the Gatti’s manager about the return of the legendary Gatti’s Creamy Italian dressing, whose recipe was recently discovered in a dead file at headquarters. The discussion highlighted the contrast between Bob and Chewy’s food adventures versus Matt’s healthier lifestyle and his ongoing struggle to balance family responsibilities with social activities.

Matt expressed frustration about being left out of recent team activities, including the Gatti’s lunch and previous outings, while he was busy costume shopping at multiple Goodwills for his daughter and dealing with home technicians. The hosts bantered about Bob’s two-day healthy eating streak, with Chewy joking “this is why AA has day chips.” The conversation revealed the show’s dynamic, with Matt positioned as the more health-conscious and family-oriented host while Bob and Chewy embrace discount dining and spontaneous adventures. Matt also expressed mild sadness about finishing “The Patient” on Hulu, which he highly recommended despite Bob’s reluctance to watch anything with Steve Carell due to his association with Michael Scott.

The “Nods to the Odds” segment featured a bizarre story about Rory Susan Woods, who protested a neighbor’s eviction by driving her SUV with a trailer full of beehives through the house while police were inside. She then released the angry bees on the officers while wearing protective gear, with one officer being allergic and requiring hospitalization. The hosts opened their gift boxes on air, with Bob receiving an original pressing of Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” from Tesla Dan (giving him five copies of the album), and Chewy receiving chips and various salsas from Garrett in Temple. The segment ended with confusion about break room etiquette regarding shared food, with Bob requesting a clear “line of demarcation” to distinguish between communal food and individual items, particularly concerning Lisetta’s breakfast items.

Summary:

The second third of this show opened with discussion of a local shooting incident where a blood-covered Hispanic man fired shots in northeast Austin near Ferguson Road, thankfully hitting nothing. The hosts joked about the suspect being a poor shot and discussed gun accuracy and concealed carry training. Connor arrived with Round Rock Donuts which Chewy immediately consumed.

Matt discussed a local Austin chef, Christopher Krinsky, who runs Ramen Garage and is opening a new restaurant called Ramen del Barrio featuring Mexican-Asian fusion, including menudo ramen. This led to an extended comedy bit where the hosts invented increasingly inappropriate restaurant names like Salty Cargo, Scrooge Juice, and Rubber Balls and Liquor, with Connor laughing hysterically in the background.

A serious news story emerged about a Nashville tourist who cut his hand at Barton Springs’ spillway area and contracted aeromonas bacteria, a potentially flesh-eating disease. The hosts discussed how contaminated that area has become with dog waste and human fluids, warning listeners to avoid swimming in natural water bodies, especially after rain. This sparked genuine concern from the hosts about the dangers of Austin’s popular swimming spots.

Matt shared his ongoing frustration trying to find a Halloween costume for his 12-year-old daughter who wants to be Drew Barrymore’s character from the original Scream movie. After visiting multiple Goodwills and stores trying to find a specific cream-colored v-neck sweater and cordless phone, his daughter kept rejecting options until finally selecting a completely different sweater with a boat neck that looked nothing like the reference photo. Matt expressed the universal parent frustration of trying to please a preteen while also learning to pick his battles.

The show introduced a “Grown Ass Man” segment where callers shared things they should know how to do but don’t. Matt admitted he doesn’t know how to properly use a shovel despite being a homeowner. Bob confessed he can’t make coffee or change air filters correctly. Multiple callers admitted incompetence at putting daughters’ hair in ponytails, using Apple products, syncing Bluetooth, and making purchases without excessive research. The segment highlighted how modern adults often lack basic life skills their parents possessed, creating both humor and relatability with the audience.

• 01:52:45 – The segment was a trivia contest about crimes (financial crimes, movie crimes, etc.) with Lucktoberfest tickets as the prize

Summary:

The final third of the Matt & Bob show opened with an extended discussion about common lies and excuses people make, including “I forgot,” “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and “I’m busy that weekend.” The hosts ribbed each other about their various shortcomings, with particular focus on Chewy’s tendency to forget things and Bob’s habit of blaming technology. Matt shared that he believes saying “I forgot” should earn him credit for honesty, while the others argued it’s just another excuse.

The show then attempted to go live on Facebook, which devolved into complete chaos as Chewy struggled to get any of the technology working properly. Unable to get video on the correct screen or audio working in both channels, the segment became a running joke about technical incompetence. Matt repeatedly asked Chewy to put in work orders for broken equipment, and at one point Chewy picked up a pen and clicked it as if he was writing something down, but never actually wrote anything.

The main news story discussed was the arrest of four Mississippi daycare workers on felony child abuse charges for wearing Scream movie masks and terrorizing young children (ages 2-4) during snack time. The workers reportedly did this as punishment for misbehavior. Video showed the masked workers getting in children’s faces, touching them, and yelling “they’re coming!” while the children cried. The hosts debated whether felony charges were appropriate, with Chewy noting that scaring children seemed common in Hispanic culture and his own family. The discussion touched on cultural differences in parenting, childhood trauma, and whether there’s an appropriate age to scare children.

The show conducted a trivia contest called “Kick Out the Jams” focused on crimes, with contestants Mark and Josie competing for Lucktoberfest tickets. Mark dominated the game, correctly answering questions about insider trading, Ken Paxton’s securities fraud indictment, floating checks, and money laundering in Breaking Bad. The final question asked about the Leonardo DiCaprio movie “Catch Me If You Can” about counterfeiter Frank Abagnale. Both contestants incorrectly answered “Wolf of Wall Street,” but Mark won with his earlier point total.

The show concluded with caller Joseph apologizing to Bob for their previous day’s argument about which guitarist played on Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon,” admitting both were wrong (it was Jake E. Lee, not Tony Iommi or Randy Rhoades). The hosts then discussed Chewy’s charmed life despite his incompetence, noting he receives constant gifts from fans including shoes, food, and tickets while barely functioning at his job. They joked about his increasing weight and decreasing work performance, comparing him to family members you can’t get rid of, before closing with dark humor references to the Menendez brothers.
