About this episode

When PUSH comes to shove, Rob Thomas reveals he wrote love songs when he was young, not for the fame but to pick up on girls! 

Of course, he did go on to find much success as the lead singer of Matchbox Twenty, the multi-platinum, chart-topping band with over 40 million records sold worldwide! He talks to Lance about the struggles of 'making it,' including being homeless at one point, life on the road then versus now, and his band releasing a new album in over a decade! 

Plus, what he thinks of his son following in his footsteps and his thoughts on Ryan Gosling's cover of "Push" in the "Barbie'' movie. Is it Kenough?
