The guys debate a deceptively hard question: are these bands actually great, or has nostalgia made them feel bigger than they were? It turns into a speed round of takes (and a little singing) on Train, Limp Bizkit, Goo Goo Dolls live, Lifehouse, Smash Mouth, Creed, Kings of Leon, and Counting Crows plus Bobby’s ‘redneck Oasis’ comparison. Then they go down the music-doc rabbit hole: Counting Crows/Adam Duritz, Jeff Buckley, and a stack of favorites like Tom Petty’s Runnin’ Down a Dream, Oasis: Supersonic, Searching for Sugar Man, and more. Bobby also shares the latest Netflix deal he announced earlier this week.
