This Show
Part 1: Last show of the year!
The 2016 final show before the holiday break. Dale’s hearing suddenly went out in his good ear overnight, causing him concern and an appointment with his audiologist. The hosts engaged in their typical banter, with Amanda (Dale’s wife) calling in and accidentally revealing Dale’s pet name ‘Hama Lama,’ which became a running joke. The show covered listener calls, promoted upcoming events including that night’s live podcast, and featured an extended Animal Cavalcade segment promoting C&C Dog Rescue in Lockhart and the Austin Zoo’s need for heating supplies.
