Anchor host Dale Dudley, originally heard on KFMX/Lubbock, Texas, was recruited to Austin, Texas's KLBJ-FM to work alongside Clark Ryan as the morning drive time show partner, which lasted for five years. When Clark left sales director Bob Fonseca was selected to be co-host and partner. The show has had various co-hosts and producers.
Currently the show features an open format where Dale Dudley, Bob Fonseca, and comedian Matt Bearden discuss various current event topics while sharing stories from their personal lives. The show has been on the air for 17 years and was nominated for a NAB Marconi Radio Award in 2007 for Medium Market Personality of the Year by the National Association of Broadcasters.[3] Dudley and Bob were inducted in to the Texas Radio Hall of Fame in 2009.[4]
Comedy has a major role on the show, with local and touring comedians routinely stopping in. It has also created three spin-off shows, Bob's Drive Home,[5] a mostly defunct daily webisode which often recaps and provides video clips of events from within the studio, The Charlie Hodge Halftime Show with Host Charlie Hodge, and co-host Matt "Chicken-wing" Sadler,[6] which no longer airs on KLBJ-FM from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. CT, and the Taint and Teabag Show, a live one-hour podcast that is distributed via a number of digital audio and video formats.

Popularity
Comedy bits
An 88-year-old woman named "Gladys Hardy" from Austin who voiced concerns, opinions and suggestions all in one thirty-second message to Ellen Degeneres who called "Gladys" the next day in front of her live audience. The esuning conversation became an internet sensation.[11] The show cast in the 90's would regularly make prank phone calls using the name Bob Martinelli. These calls were included on the CDs issued by the show. The show also did a bit entitled "Rate a Bride". The show would give ratings to pictures of women and couples from the bridal announcement section of the local newspaper. Drive thru of danger is another old show bit in which listeners would go through a drive thru and perform bits suggested by the show cast for prizes. House Party Fridays is a tongue in cheek reference to the morning zoo radio shows that have special "Friday" party shows.
