| - Rad Thibodeaux (pronounced as "Thib-uh-day-ox" with Rad pronouncing the X as "kss-ss") is a one-time character who only appears in The Wedding of Bobby Hill. Rad is a smooth talker and extremely arrogant and pretentious. He is at first admired by Luanne and Bobby alike because of his cool demeanor. Rad started dating Luanne after they met when Luanne was cutting Rad's hair at a free hair cutting session for students at the Arlen Beauty Academy to gain experience. Luanne and Bobby continually fight over Rad's attention, at one point leading to Rad telling Bobby, "Bobby, I know you want my attention, and it's nothing I can't handle, but at the moment I am busy with the lady." Rad is also a self-proclaimed genius, which leads Luanne to admire him even more. He claims he is living the "fast-paced celebrity-filled life" of a concert promoter. Rad often carries and distributes free AOL Trial CD's, and tells the recipent when signing up to say that SOOORAD@aol.com sent them, so he can recieve 10 free hours of internet use. When Luanne and Bobby first introduced Rad to Hank, Hank showed disapproval towards Rad's conduct, immediately questioning if his last name should be pronounced phonetically. Luanne and Rad eventually broke up when Luanne got mad at Rad for throwing a party at Boomhauer's house without asking permission, although Rad says that he never actually "proclaimed" Luanne to be his girlfirend. Rad is guest voiced by Matthew McConaughey.
