This Show
Part 1: Not Fair
Dale opens discussing Carissa’s outfit and then the show shifts to planning ‘D-Day’ – the upcoming airing of recordings of Daniel yelling at potential clients. Daniel’s wife reportedly said the situation was ‘not fair,’ which becomes a running theme. Dale shares stories of his own past workplace mistakes (the Budweiser incident, the executive producer title) to try to make Daniel feel better, but the conversation keeps circling back to Daniel’s discomfort and the tension in the room. Matt and Bob discuss how they tried to protect Daniel, which backfired.
