This Show
Part 1: Bob’s Mic Issues
Dale arrives late after forgetting his prep materials and driving 120mph in a borrowed Mercedes to retrieve them. Bob discovers his microphone levels are too low (again), leading to a recurring complaint about his audio. The show devolves into Dale ranting about never being nominated for awards by the Alliance of Women in Media, taking shots at competing shows, and expressing frustration that the organization keeps nominating syndicated or music-focused shows while ignoring 28 years of local content. The bitterness is palpable but played for comedy.
