Eric and Bob in the Morning — Full Podcast Blurb

It’s National Limerick Day, and Eric and Bob are celebrating the only way they know how—digging up questionable rhymes they probably shouldn’t say on air, and promising (with varying levels of confidence) that they’ll “work on it.”

This morning’s chaos includes a recap of the latest American Idol winner, though Eric swears he “almost called it” and Bob insists the voting was “clearly influenced by snack breaks.”

Plus, an unexpected detour to the open road as we get live-ish check-ins from the Route 66 World Tour, where someone claiming to be Jimmy Carter might or might not be sending postcards, hotel lobby wisdom, and very strong opinions about gas station coffee.

And finally, the big local debate heating up Central Texas: is Hutto secretly becoming the next Space City? Between backyard rocket rumors, aggressive barbecue science, and questionable city branding ideas, Eric and Bob break down whether the claim is genius, satire, or just someone standing too close to a drone launch.
