This Show
Part 1: Podcast Day
Dale spirals after a chance encounter at Walgreens with a former station employee who made $10 million from a 2% stake in Deep Eddie Vodka — an investment Dale was offered in 2010 but couldn’t afford. He obsesses over the missed opportunity, finds the original investment letter, and calculates what he lost. The crew tries to calm him while prepping for that night’s sold-out Sideshow podcast. Dale also announces he’ll be doing a show on a sister AM station with Chuy as producer.
