This Show
Part 1: How bout them Cowboys_!
Dale leads a high-energy Monday show on Halloween. The Cowboys’ overtime win dominates early discussion, though Dale is briefly somber announcing the death of listener Jared Hunter in a car accident. The show pivots to lighter fare: the gang teases Carissa about her musician boyfriend Trevlar, Daniel shares details about his Kickapoo Caverns trip, and Dale complains about discovering his elderly poodle has a yeast infection. A lengthy Animal Cavalcade covers zombie fire ants, ladybugs harming dogs, and extinct species.
