About this episode
The episode discusses Billboard's Top 50 Rock Groups of All Time, a Bigfoot confession, and pays tribute to a NASCAR legend.
Billboard dropped a list. Lee from Atlanta has thoughts. So do we — and none of us agree, especially when it comes to U2, a band that somehow manages to divide every room it enters. We break down the biggest snubs and the most baffling inclusions in Billboard’s Top 50 Rock Groups of All Time. Then: a lost interview surfaces. Leonard Nimoy sits down with Bob Heironimus — the man who claims he wore the Bigfoot suit in the footage that launched a thousand conspiracy theories. We’re not saying it’s real. We’re not saying it isn’t. We close out with a tribute to a NASCAR legend we recently lost. One last lap for a true icon of the sport.
