Part 2: Dress Your Age
The show discusses various topics including what happened at the station during vacation, CJ Morgan’s involvement in someone’s firing, and an upcoming sideshow podcast taping at Cap City Comedy Club. The main segment becomes ‘Dress Your Age’ where Dale and Matt try to get Bob to dress more age-appropriately by suggesting various outfits for men in their late 50s. This leads to discovering Buck and Buck clothing for elderly/Alzheimer’s patients.
