This week your favorite cousins take on a rock titan: Dave Grohl. Is he really the nicest guy in music—or is that just the brand? Adam and Mike break down Grohl’s journey from Nirvana to Foo Fighters, the myth of the DIY hero, and why owning your music matters more than ever.

📝 Topics we hit:

• Why Grohl is both everywhere and… kind of predictable

• The myth of the “nice guy” rocker

• What made Foo Fighters a household name (and what holds them back)

• Why Grohl's ego might be his secret sauce—and his biggest flaw

• Publishing rights, power, and how Grohl secured his bag

• Synesthesia, pedals, and chaotic creativity

• Why we still don’t mess with American Idol

• Mail that never got sent to Paul (sorry, dude)

🎵 Bands & Moments Mentioned:

• Nirvana

• Foo Fighters

• Prince

• Queens of the Stone Age

• Paul (yes, that Paul)

• “Best of You” and the riffs that made millions

🧠 Final Take:
Grohl is a modern rock legend—no doubt. But when the myth is louder than the music, does greatness get lost in the noise?
