This Show
Part 1: Station Conspiracy
The show opens with Dale revealing disappointing December ratings, sparking tension and a conspiracy theory that station staff intentionally withheld prizes. The hosts discuss ISIS burning a Jordanian pilot alive and Jordan’s retaliatory executions. The mood shifts when Dale plays a story about Virgin recovering a widower’s lost voicemail of his late wife, which makes Carissa emotional and leads to a raw conversation about death, parents, and growing up. Dale and Bob counsel Carissa about mortality while she admits she’d rather die first than deal with losing loved ones.
