Dudley and Bob with Matt — 93.7 KLBJ-FM, Austin — Tuesday, June 30, 2015
This Show
Part 1: Where is the Devil’s Backbone
This part opens with the show intro and immediately descends into a tense argument between Dale and Daniel Gallo over missed commercials during a recent rerun. Dale demands common sense from his producer—play commercials with their names on them when they’re out, blue sheets or not—while Daniel gets defensive. The fight sets a frazzled tone for the entire segment. Dale was in a good mood coming in but the argument derails him. He tries to move on to lighter stories: his recent Uber drives (including two high school girls going to a pool party), a trip to IKEA where a listener recognized him and said he was listening live, and a discussion about biodegradable burial capsules that turn bodies into trees. Carissa mentions she only smokes when on Ritalin, prompting Dale to point out the absurdity. The segment is a mix of behind-the-scenes tension, personal anecdotes, and existential musings.
