This Show
Part 1: Music Wormhole
The show opens with Dale complaining about traffic, his in-between shirt size, and late-morning prep chaos. This spirals into an extended ‘music wormhole’ segment exploring the careers of famous musicians’ children, triggered by Dale watching Glen Campbell videos over the weekend and getting emotional about Alzheimer’s. The hosts sample songs from Julian Lennon, Jacob Dylan, Dhani Harrison, Crosby Loggins (Kenny Loggins’ son), Ashley Campbell, and others, debating who succeeded and who failed. The segment meanders through YouTube clips, personal anecdotes, and sidebars about Bob Schneider, Jackson Browne tributes, and Elvis Presley’s relationship with young Priscilla.
