Dudley and Bob with Matt — 93.7 KLBJ-FM, Austin — Friday, July 17, 2015
This Show
Part 1: NEXT WEEK
Dale kicks off the show by recounting a fight with his wife over a potential birthday gift (a drone), which he derailed by saying he’d see the charge on the credit card and it wouldn’t feel like a present. Bob’s drone video sparked the conflict. The show then spends significant time teasing an upcoming ‘next week’ segment about a backstage incident involving Daniel, Bob, CJ, and a confession to management. Dale has audio of Bob and Daniel arguing about it. The segment devolves into repeated teases, arguments about teasing, and Daniel’s discomfort with being the subject of a future bit.
