Question Indirect object pronouns - the extra Le

I heard an intro to a spanish podcast and I'm getting stuck on its meaning.

The intro says 'Dile adios a todos esos momentos incomodos...' - ie if you listen to the podcast you will not have uncomfortable moments anymore. But I don't get the 'le' at the end of Di. Does it refer to momentos incomodos, or is it a reference to the listener in the Usted form?

I understand some verbs (Decir, Enviar, Dar, Preparar etc) take an extra Le when the sentence has an indirect object in the 3rd person (sing or plural), ie Juan le dio el libro a Sara, but can this also apply when referring to objects/ideas (eg momentos incomodos)? I am tempted to think not as it is called the personal A but not sure. Help much appreciated!

Also does anyone have a list of the verbs which take the extra Le in the 3rd person?
