Super Bowl Energy Myths, Bad Bunny to Bald Eagles

·29 min·1 clip

The dark side of renewable energy: windmills are killing endangered species and nobody talks about it.

Rand DeWitt and Tom Clark start by joking about Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl halftime show, and a fictional role Tom supposedly should have played. Tom says he did not watch the performance, and the conversation stays loose from there. They compare the halftime audience to earlier TV stunts and old network programming that split viewership. The hosts then pivot to how platforms count audiences differently: one side talks in households and the other talks in devices, which gives them another excuse to poke at ratings math. The tone stays half policy talk and half radio riff. From there they move into gasoline prices and why they started tracking them at the beginning of the year. They use GasBuddy as a reference point and explain why the Costco down the street from Tom's house became the price they watched. The conversation gives a specific number for the Ogden Costco and notes that the price is still relatively low. They explain that the first show of the year established the baseline. After that, the hosts talk through why gasoline cannot fall forever. Extraction, transportation, taxes, and especially road taxes all leave less room at the bottom. The discussion stays grounded in practical cost math rather than theory. It also keeps the banter alive with repeated jokes around Bad Bunny and bad gas bunny. Near the end they point listeners to propane resources and an application link. The episode then turns toward a future guest, Robert Bryce. They clearly want people to come back next week. The closing is direct and promotional without sounding polished. The whole thing feels like a live back-and-forth that keeps getting interrupted by punch lines. It is part energy advocacy, part local color, and part deliberate nonsense. The result is a show that treats fuel prices as both policy and personality. It is anchored by numbers but never loses the joke.
