Bob’s Rock and Roll News segment:

30:00.274-41:31.019

Bob Fonseca, operating on only three hours of sleep, delivered the Rock and Roll News with his signature energy despite exhaustion. He opened by reminding listeners that he doesn’t make the rock and roll news, he just reports it – an important distinction he felt compelled to emphasize.

The lead story focused on Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee’s unexpected side hustle. Following in Gene Simmons’ entrepreneurial footsteps (who charges $6,000 to record with fans), Lee announced he’s auctioning off spots in a bonsai tree landscape workshop. Bob drew parallels to Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid, who trimmed bonsai trees to relax after “a full day of ass whoopens.” The current bid stood at $5,150 for the opportunity to trim trees with the legendary drummer. The workshop will take place Saturday, April 15th from 9am to 1pm in the greater Los Angeles area, with proceeds benefiting the California Bonsai Societies Ben Oakey Scholarship Fund. Bob questioned whether any of Mr. Miyagi’s original bonsai trees might still exist in the basement of the Karate Kid’s apartment complex.

Elvis Costello made headlines by pulling out of Australia’s Blues Fest 2023 due to COVID-19, prompting Bob to wonder why bands never specify which member contracted the virus. The hosts debated whether drummer Pete Thomas was infected, with Matt suggesting the show could go on without drums since Costello’s songs “aren’t really known for the drums.” Bob noted that while the cancellation was disappointing, Costello has already committed to headline Blues Fest 2024, making good on his promise to Australian fans. This led to broader discussion about COVID still circulating and the mysterious nature of band member illness announcements.

Gibson Guitar Company announced a collaboration with Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, recreating his beloved 1979 Gibson Flying V. Bob found it curious they chose a post-CBS era guitar for replication. Only 200 handmade units are being produced through the Gibson Custom Shop, available worldwide through premium Gibson dealers and gibson.com. True to rock and roll tradition, the price wasn’t listed – leading Bob to invoke the old adage that “if you’ve got to ask the price, you know what that means.” This sparked a humorous tangent about guitar store protocols, including removing belt buckles to prevent “buckle rash” on instrument backs.

Dan Aykroyd continues pursuing Blues Brothers sequel ideas despite John Belushi’s passing decades ago. John Belushi’s younger brother Jim revealed that Aykroyd has developed several concepts to turn the franchise into a full trilogy. Bob cynically suggested “the tax man is asking Dan Aykroyd for some money” as motivation for the project. John Goodman appeared in Blues Brothers 2000, and the hosts questioned whether audiences were demanding more installments. REO Speedwagon announced special “High Infidelity and More” concerts at the Venetian in Las Vegas on November 10th and 11th, where they’ll perform the entire album including hits “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On The Run.” The album spent an impressive 15 weeks at number one on U.S. charts, and frontman Kevin Cronin with his “beautiful curly locks” will lead the performances.

The Rock and Roll News Junior segment targeted younger listeners “in the back of mom’s Kia Sedona on the way to the dropout zone.” Bob announced that Dua Lipa joined the cast of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie movie, playing blue-haired mermaid Barbie. The film stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling with supporting cast including Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, and Helen Mirren as narrator. Despite being a Barbie movie requiring a narrator seeming unusual, anticipation is building for the July 21st release. Matt expressed confidence the film would be “incredible” given Gerwig’s involvement. The segment concluded with a Rock and Roll News Salute to 15-year-old fan James Humphries, whose mother had called the previous day requesting a birthday shout-out. The hosts deliberately waited a day so schoolmates wouldn’t know James was still being driven to school by his mom, trying to save him from additional teenage embarrassment. Bob signed off reminding listeners he was “operating on three hours a week” of sleep and encouraging James to “don’t do drugs, read books and start a band.”

Bands talked about during Bob’s Rock and Roll News:

• Mötley Crüe (Tommy Lee)
• KISS (Gene Simmons)
• Elvis Costello and the Attractions (Pete Thomas mentioned)
• Metallica (Kirk Hammett)
• The Blues Brothers
• REO Speedwagon
• Dua Lipa

Rock and roll shoutout/salute:

40:22.177-41:31.019: James Humphries received a Rock and Roll News Salute for his 15th birthday. His mother had called the previous day requesting the shout-out while James was in the car, but the hosts waited a day to avoid embarrassing him at school for still being driven by his mom.

3 paragraph summary (excluding Bob’s Rock and Roll News):

The show opened with Matt and Chewy discussing the difficulties of young people not understanding how to address envelopes or purchase stamps for Matt’s spring sticker collection giveaway. This led to broader observations about generational differences, including kids not having signatures and not knowing cursive writing. Both hosts revealed they had terrible nights, waking at 3am and unable to fall back asleep, leading to exhaustion throughout the broadcast. Bob arrived wearing a collared shirt and loafers, prompting compliments that he looked like “Hugh Grant” preparing for an English countryside picnic.

Bob shared his midlife crisis story from the previous day when he ran into a major movie star while covered in paint, wearing camo pants, and looking disheveled after working on home renovations. The encounter, where the attractive movie star looked glamorous while Bob looked like a “tramp,” prompted him to dress better for the show. This vulnerability led to extended comedy about self-image, aging, and maintaining appearances. Matt observed that Walmart security cameras had recently revealed his bald spot, creating a shared moment of male vanity and insecurity.

The Click Click Boom segment featured an article from Austin.com about “10 Astounding Facts About the Legendary Bats of Austin” written by Rebecca L. Bennett. Highlights included Austin’s bat colony consuming 30,000 pounds of insects nightly (primarily mosquitoes), the WWII Project X-Ray program that attempted to use bats as incendiary bomb carriers (cancelled after escaped bats destroyed a general’s car and friendly barracks), and various bat characteristics including echolocation abilities and maternal instincts. The segment concluded with the revelation that a larger bat colony once existed at McNeil Bridge in Round Rock, though it never achieved the tourist appeal of the Congress Avenue Bridge. The show’s final major segment involved Bob revealing he has 34,064 unread emails, leading to an extended comedy routine about email management, spam, and generational technology gaps, with multiple failed attempts at a dramatic drum roll reveal.

Summary:

This portion of the Matt & Bob show from April 5, 2023 centered primarily on speculation about a potential serial killer in Austin, triggered by recent drownings in Lady Bird Lake. The hosts began by promoting the Austin Public Library’s new horror-focused podcast series before transitioning into local news about the Department of Public Safety now patrolling Austin streets due to Austin Police Department staffing shortages. Matt shared a humorous personal story about nearly getting arrested for DUI outside Texas Chili Parlor years ago when his intoxicated friends jumped on his car, leading to a tense but ultimately harmless interaction with DPS officers.

The main segment focused on the controversy surrounding multiple deaths of young men found in Lady Bird Lake near Rainey Street. Despite Austin Police Department’s official statement that there’s no evidence of foul play or a serial killer, social media groups and “true crime experts” on Facebook have been connecting the dots between cases. The hosts decided to conduct an unofficial poll, asking listeners to call in with their theories about whether a serial killer exists. Matt joked about sending the “official” results to APD, creating a running gag throughout the segment.

Callers offered wildly varied theories ranging from practical explanations (drunk people slipping on algae, people with “zero common sense”) to creative conspiracy theories (AI-controlled Bird scooters, mermaids, a white gay man, two serial killers including the Austin Cobra and Del Valle Alligator working together, and pedicab drivers). One caller claimed that Facebook groups reported victims had no water in their lungs, suggesting they died before entering the water, though the hosts questioned the reliability of Facebook as a source. Another caller compared the situation to similar drownings in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

The hosts provided context about Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake), explaining it’s actually a reservoir that was historically used for dumping sewage and trash, experienced a major DDT chemical spill in the 1960s, and only became beautified in the mid-1970s. They discussed the dangers of swimming in shoes and clothes, with Matt sharing a personal experience nearly drowning in Barton Creek while wearing shoes. The segment maintained a delicate balance between acknowledging the tragedy of the deaths and the pain of families involved while allowing for humorous speculation, particularly when callers offered outlandish theories.

Throughout the discussion, the hosts maintained their characteristic irreverent humor, making jokes about their small broadcasting award, Bob’s suburban lifestyle, San Antonio’s attempt to name the supposed killer the “Rainy Street Ripper,” and the general tendency of people to believe conspiracy theories based on minimal evidence. The informal poll results showed listeners leaning toward believing in a serial killer rather than accepting the accidental drowning explanation, though several callers offered the practical assessment that intoxicated people near water is simply a dangerous combination. The segment exemplified the show’s ability to tackle serious local news topics while maintaining entertainment value and encouraging audience participation.

5 Paragraph Summary:

The final portion of the show focused heavily on a controversial poll asking listeners whether there’s a serial killer in Austin responsible for deaths near water. The hosts took calls from listeners with various theories, including a crime analyst named Brandy who tried to bring actual expertise to the discussion, explaining that drunk people making poor choices near water is more likely than a serial killer. The hosts jokingly rejected her practical analysis, preferring to lean into hysteria and emotion. The poll concluded with 18 people believing there’s a serial killer versus 4 who didn’t, which the hosts called their “highly scientific” result. Callers offered creative theories including Fort Hood military connections and the Mexican folklore character La Llorona.

A significant segment was dedicated to discussing a scientific study about women’s penis size preferences. The study from University of California and University of New Mexico surveyed 75 women ages 18-65 using 33 different 3D blue plastic models to avoid racial bias. Results showed women prefer 6.3 inches long and 4.8 inches around for relationships, with only slightly larger preferences (6.4 by 5 inches) for one-time encounters. The hosts used various food comparisons including breakfast tacos and taquitos to visualize the measurements, leading to extended humorous discussion.

The show also covered a story about Arthur Grand Technologies, a Virginia-based tech company that posted a job listing on Indeed specifying “only born U.S. citizens (white)” for a Dallas business analyst position. The listing included “don’t share with candidates” in the posting. The company claimed a disgruntled former employee posted it maliciously and that they’re minority-owned and taking legal action. This led to discussion about discrimination in hiring practices and how common such preferences might be even when not stated publicly.

Several show announcements were made including Bob’s appearance at Buck’s Backyard on Friday before the Reverend Horton Heat show, and Matt’s appearance at The Hot Spot in Cedar Park on Saturday before the Stephen Pearcy from Ratt show. Both would be giving away NextEvo CBD samples and offering seat upgrades.

They also announced their 50th anniversary concert featuring Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on August 11th at Round Rock Amphitheater.

Throughout the segment, there was ongoing banter between the hosts and Oliver, their camera operator who doesn’t usually want to be on air. The conversation touched on topics ranging from manual labor experience to racial dynamics in the workplace, with the hosts maintaining their characteristic irreverent humor while occasionally acknowledging when they were crossing lines. They reminded listeners to tune in the next day for comedian Sawyer Stull as a guest and a telethon test giveaway for Metallica 72 Seasons preview tickets.
