This Show
Part 1: Dudley & Bob + Matt
The show opens chaotically with Dale arriving late and wet from the rain, discovering Bob went to see Styx at Cedar Park Center without inviting him – sparking an extended ‘airing of grievances.’ The hosts discuss the rainy morning commute, numerous traffic accidents, and Bob’s attempt at smoking his first brisket. Daniel reveals he saw Cat Williams at HEB Center over the weekend, leading to a discussion about old person smell, a caller who claims to be the show’s only black listener (though he’s only one-quarter black), and various tangents about Game of Thrones, grandmothers, and the upcoming 25th anniversary gala on Saturday.
Segments
- Show open and rainy commute chaos [00:00:01] — Bob opens the show noting the entire city has ‘gone completely mental’ with the rain. Dale arrives late, soaking wet, having forgotten his coffee and using an ill-fitting raincoat. Multiple accidents and standing water reported across Austin.
- Hamilton Pool Road house fire [00:02:00] — Bob reports seeing multiple fire trucks and first responders on Hamilton Pool Road. Caller Harold Green confirms it’s a house fire, possibly from a lightning strike given the severe weather.
- Airing of the Grievances – Styx concert [00:07:23] — Dale formally announces grievances with Bob for attending a Styx concert at Cedar Park Center (two blocks from Dale’s house, his favorite high school band) without inviting him.

- Grievance number two – The Big Sick [00:13:49] — Dale’s second grievance: Amanda got him to see ‘The Big Sick’ (recommended by Bob and Jennifer) at Alamo Drafthouse without telling him it was a rom-com. Dale admits the last half hour was good but felt it dragged.
- Bob’s first brisket [00:17:26] — Bob discusses smoking his first brisket, starting at 5am, and receiving about 100 Facebook comments with conflicting advice. He gives himself a 7 out of 10, relieved it wasn’t dry after a 14-hour investment.

- Why old people smell [00:31:11] — Discussion of a compound called ‘2-nonenal’ created by oxidative breakdown that increases with age. Dale disagrees, saying his grandmother’s house smelled like gas cooking, Lucky Strike cigarettes, and Old Spice – smells he’d love to experience again.
- Daniel’s Cat Williams show reveal [00:36:39] — Daniel casually mentions he went to see Cat Williams at HEB Center on Saturday in box seats. Matt and Dale are shocked he didn’t lead with this story. Daniel describes it as too foul to impersonate and mentions Williams wore a cowboy hat.
- Sid Miller gas station scam PSA [00:41:33] — Dale mocks Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller’s PSA about avoiding credit card skimmers at gas stations, calling him a ‘crook and a bigot’ who himself stole from the state by flying on taxpayer money.
