Dudley and Bob with Matt — 93.7 KLBJ-FM, Austin — Friday, April 17, 2015
Part 3: Leanne Morgan
Comedian Leanne Morgan visits the show for the second time, but the segment is dominated by an extended conflict between Dale and producer Daniel over an in-studio surprise guest from the Four Seasons hotel. The guest (Christy/Christie) came to offer Daniel a free happy hour after he told a story about someone’s bad hotel experience, but Daniel reacted angrily on-air, not realizing it was a planned bit. Dale repeatedly scolds Daniel for being rude to a potential client, while Daniel insists he was blindsided and asked them not to bring it up. The tension continues throughout Leanne’s entire visit, though she tries to diffuse it with humor.
