==Episode Summary==
It's Thanksgiving Week, and the DJs are talking about ways to celebrate the holiday. Matt agrees that they would do songs about "food," but Dillon thought they would do songs about "dude."
Someone outside the studio makes two strong knocks, and the DJs invite him in. It's Peter the Milkman there to deliver some milk. He is one of three milkmen in the Austin area, and they still travel by cart with a sticky wheel. He does about three deliveries a day, and they take the entire day.
His grandfather and great-grandfather were both milkmen. When Peter was a milk boy, the family showed him how milk was harvested and how to move the cart throughout the city. He delivers all types of milk and cream, which he lists in detail.
Peter lives in a milk shack on the south side of town, but refuses a ride home from the DJs because milkmen aren't allowed in cars. He also knows a little bit about cocaine through reading books. He was born and raised in a milk commune somewhere near Buda, TX, but he won't provide further info. Most of their milk is sold to Canada by the barrel.
The milk shack has survived centuries and never been burned down – although people have tried. The DJs help keep the location a secret. Peter then reveals that lots of people want to see the milk commune destroyed, including congressmen who support orange juice. Peter also is a lactose intolerance denier, which he claims is a lie made by the barons of orange juice. "This juice is not for your use," is the anti-orange juice slogan he repeats throughout. That said, he's fine with every other juice. When the DJs bring up creamsicles and orange cream soda, Peter begins to spiral.
They decide the genres complement.

== Critical Reception ==
"I felt like the milkman bit might have gone on longer than necessary. It had its moments. but it seemed a little long." - George Rasmussen
"I can't really tell how much if the Milkman Pete bit was planned out. There were parts I found pretty funny, like the end where they pointed out things like orange cream soda that showed orange and dairy could co exist, but I think shorter segments with Pete would have served the bit better." - Also George Rasmussen
"I feel like a lot of it was improvised." - Same George Rasmussen
"I like the concept, but I think there needs to be some tightening up?" - Your Boy, George Rasmussen
