Dudley and Bob with Matt — 93.7 KLBJ-FM, Austin — Wednesday, August 12, 2015
This Show
Part 1: Foie Gras Guilt
Dale discusses his son’s difficult dentist visit and the lengths the office went to comfort him, complete with headphones, sunglasses, and a vibrating toy. Bob arrives late due to a flat tire on his jeep. The show devolves into discussions of East Texas racism (after Daniel researches Paris, Texas), Dale’s chiropractor visit where he scratched his wheel, and the reopening of the Breaker Chick-fil-A after a five-month renovation. Daniel repeatedly derails conversation with factoids, prompting Dale and Matt to mock his tendency to become an instant expert on any topic mentioned.
