This Show
Part 1: Cool House
Dale and Bob discuss the ‘cool house’ phenomenon from their childhoods – the neighborhood house where all the kids would gather. Dale worries that his wife is trying to make their house the cool house by encouraging kids to come over on the first day of school, complete with lemonade stands and karaoke machines. The hosts take calls from listeners about their own cool house experiences, ranging from wholesome (pool tables and snacks) to borderline illegal (underage drinking and cattle rustling).
