This Show
Part 1: Animal Attacks
Dale Dudley engaged in an escalating feud with Bill (a retired TV actor running a comedy show at a Sonesta hotel) that started the previous day and continued via social media videos overnight. The hosts debated whether to continue the ‘war’ or let it go, with callers weighing in. The segment titled ‘Animal Attacks’ featured multiple stories of aggressive wildlife: squirrels attacking residents at a Florida retirement home (for the second time), a Park Police officer accidentally shooting himself in the foot while dealing with a raccoon, a squirrel stopping an NFL game, a snake on an Aeromexico flight, and dramatic footage of snakes chasing a baby iguana. The show also promoted their annual ‘Breaking and Entering’ charity effort for Christmas.

Part 2: RADIO WAR
Part 2 focuses almost entirely on Dale Dudley’s escalating feud with Bill Kirchenbauer (a former sitcom actor running ‘Uncle Nasty’s’ comedy shows at the Sinesta Hotel). What began as Matt declining to book Kirchenbauer spirals into an hour-long rant after Kirchenbauer posts videos criticizing Dale, the show, and local Austin comedians.

The segment includes a brief news story about baby powder vandalism at a Pflugerville high school football field that Dale mocks extensively.
