Bob took issue with claims it was their first new music since 1994, noting their 2014 album “The Endless River.” He played a portion of the song but admitted it was “terrible” while still encouraging people to buy it to support Ukraine.

The segment also covered Robert Earl Keen filling in for the Foo Fighters at ACL Live on April 27th, following drummer Taylor Hawkins’ death. This will be Keen’s seventh appearance on the show, and Bob praised how various artists were stepping up to fill Foo Fighters dates, though both Matt and Chewy expressed skepticism about whether these substitutions were truly charitable.

Matt explains how Saibara came to Texas in the early 1900s to establish rice farming, bringing 20 Japanese families to the Webster area and revolutionizing rice production. This agricultural development eventually led to the creation of the Highland Lakes system, including Lake Travis, as rice farmers needed reliable water sources and established primary water rights that persist today.

The conversation shifts to current Austin news, including recent car accidents and a story about police horses being spooked on 6th Street. However, technical difficulties with their internet connection prevent them from fully covering some news stories. The hosts also discuss Bob’s son passing his driving test, with Matt noting the anxiety of teaching teenagers to drive compared to riding with experienced but reckless adult drivers.

A significant portion focuses on the White Sands metaverse project, where Austin entrepreneur Adam Hollander raised $4.4 million selling virtual island plots as NFTs. Bob is enthusiastic about the concept, arguing people should “buy now or cry later,” while Matt remains deeply skeptical about spending thousands of dollars on virtual real estate. Their debate highlights generational and philosophical differences about digital ownership and virtual experiences versus real-world investments.

The show features their “Bob Father Question of the Day” asking callers what their first law would be if they ruled their own island. Matt suggests death penalties for people who mix different sized shopping carts in returns or use ATMs for complex transactions beyond simple deposits and withdrawals. Chuy proposes no religion and no waste policies, while callers suggest keeping islands clean, banning “douchebags,” and more controversial ideas that the hosts quickly shut down.

The segment concludes with a discussion about women’s insecurities that men supposedly don’t care about, particularly focusing on breast size, cellulite, and stretch marks. Chuy provides colorful commentary comparing physical attributes to food, while Bob admits he notices his wife’s physical characteristics as a “realist.” The conversation reveals different male perspectives on physical attraction and whether men truly overlook the imperfections women worry about, with the hosts showing varying degrees of honesty about their observations and preferences.

Matt expresses confusion about why women feel insecure about freckles, while the group acknowledges that unrealistic beauty standards contribute to these feelings.

The discussion transitions into “Man Crush Monday,” where the hosts share their current male role models. Matt admits to crushing on local Austin FC soccer players, particularly goalie Brad Stuver and captain Alex Ring, expressing admiration for their talent and dedication. Bob discusses his boxing training at Black Sheep Boxing and his admiration for his technique coach, while also mentioning disappointment about an Instagram model crush who’s apparently in some kind of trouble.

A deeper conversation emerges about Bob’s midlife crisis and feelings of inadequacy. He expresses regret about never mastering any particular skill, comparing himself to the athletes he admires who found their gifts and developed them. This revelation causes tension at home when he verbalizes these feelings to his wife, who takes offense. The discussion touches on the concept of being a “jack of all trades, master of none” and whether that’s sufficient for a fulfilling life.
