This Show
Part 1: Tabertown Mall
The show opens with Dale and Bob discussing their internet outages, Dale’s lack of sleep due to a sick daughter, and technical issues. Dale launches into a lengthy discussion about arguing with people on social media, particularly about Madonna and Melania Trump photos. Daniel then brings up his visit to Dale, Texas and Tabertown Mall (actually a general store), which consumes the majority of the segment. Multiple callers from the Dale/Cedar Creek area call in to correct details about the town, the school, and the now-defunct general store. The segment becomes an extended comedy bit about Daniel’s fascination with tiny Texas towns.
