Surf & Turf

## Overview

Double Heads Variety Hour presents “Surf and Turf," where DJ Matt Fox presents a playlist combining songs about land and sea. He hangs out with an unemployed waitress, learns about criminal unions and helps two callers find love. Listen to the episode.

## Episode Summary

Matt Fox is without a DJ partner this week, so he decides to treat himself to a nice seafood dinner at Ahoy Austin, the city's premier seafood establishment. Before he has a chance to look over the menu, a woman sits down and suggests he orders the crab legs. Her name is Margot Shell, and she is a recently unemployed waitress who worked at Ahoy Austin approximately 37 minutes prior. She was fired for sneaking crab legs into the bathroom to eat, which she argued had the optimal temperature for crab eating because of its 75 F temperature setting.

Jim E. Brown calls in and discusses his most recent food poisoning. He's been purchasing most of his meals from a half-off food stand that does not provide refrigeration and also leaves the food on the ground. He then recited a new song for the show titled, "I'm an Obese Alcoholic."

Matt also received a call from Trainer Joe, who is now offering surfing lessons in addition to his produce-throwing and human-hunting courses. Margot is very interested in Trainer Joe's classes and discusses her desire to surf. Trainer Joe is also now working in napkins, although Matt doesn't learn much more about this.

Dan checks in from the Lasagnaverse, where he is currently at Ahoy Austin attending the International Workers of the Universe Crime Local 253 union conference. He is also very interested in learning more about Trainer Joe's napkin business. Matt also confesses that he might have a shellfish allergy, as the crab is making him very itchy.

A man calls into the show claiming to be Tom from Myspace, but Margot calls his bluff, and it turns out to be Kent Rogerstein, the ex-husband of Margot and owner/proprietor of Ahoy Austin. He is very eager to get Margot back into his life, but she lists a number of reasons why they're not compatible, including leaving popcorn under her pillow, applying slime on her hands, and committing petty tax fraud in her name. Kent argues that these were gestures of love.

Two Quarter and a Chub cals in again, but it's unclear why.

Another call comes from Danielle, who is there for her annual happy birthday wish for Chris Green. While the two were previously married, they have since divorced. Fortunately, Matt still has Kent on the line, and he helps set up a date between the two callers. Danielle finds Kent's petty crime enticing, and now Margot feels fully free of Kent and can now go to Africa to photograph zebras.

A final call comes in from someone named Tiffany who wants to gift Old Bay to the new couple to spice up their bedroom.

They decide the genres complement.

Lazarus Lizard

## Overview

Lazarus Lizard is the former model for SoBe.

## Detailed Biography

Lazarus Lizard is the former lizard model for SoBe bottles. He was born in Norfolk, CT to a poor, traditional family. His mother was a dental hygienist, and his father is unemployed. His twin brother is the other SoBe model.

Once SoBe went under, Lazarus fell on hard times. He’s been relatively poor ever since, but was recently hired at the Herpy Hotel (also known as the SLizzard Lizzard). Dirty Dani called in to confirm Lazarus’s employment and asked if he would replace Weecho as the hotel's bellboy, which he accepts.

Lazarus continues to air his grievances and share his heart, which includes detailing his ecstasy problem from the mid- to late-90s. This drug abuse caused him to grow a third foot. Dillon also confirms that there is an entire universe where SoBe is still around, and it's largely because Lazarus was kicked off the brand before his drug problem started.

But now, Lazarus has turned his life around and does Cameo appearances, although the more he talks about it the more Dillon believes he's tied up in a money laundering scheme. Lazarus walks up to a local church window, hands them money from Chip Flames, speaks a Cameo script into the window, and the church returns less money.
Pitchbot 3000

## Detailed Biography

During "Membership Drive Extravaganza," Dillon and Matt are quickly interrupted by a man who won't reveal his name and has a package for them. He opens it up and reveals the package has a Pitchbot 3000, which is allegedly supposed to help the DJs pitch fundraising to the listeners. The delivery man asks the DJs a series of questions to determine the Pitchbot 3000's parameters. As soon as he's done installing the parameters, he scoffs at the DJs and leaves.

The Pitchbot quickly fires up and begins to ask the DJs a series of questions that range from what function they prefer (pitching or banter) to defining what love and community mean. The Pitchbot 3000 – who also goes by Pitchy – doesn't know much about its origins but does confirm that it Is 23 years old and has been in a box ever since being created. It was created by the delivery man, who Pitchy confirms is named Frank.

After the DJs play a couple disco tracks, Pitchy offers its own music, which turns out to just be baseball themed music. Once the songs end, Pitchy starts to realize how much it loves baseball. The DJs also then realize that the Roundrock Express hat and baseball-sized cup attached to the robot might be related to the machine's newfound interests. Dillon clocks Pitchy's pitch speed at 106 mph, and they realize the robot might actually be made for baseball.

Pitchy then makes the claim that Frank – a vocal opponent of government – built Pitchy to throw a baseball at Greg Abbott's head. The DJs offer to take Pitchy to the capitol over the weekend in case he wants to throw the baseball then.

During "Solo Santa," Santa Claus listens to a voicemail from **Pitchbot 3000**, who asks Santa to help him find and understand love. Santa ponders whether robots should get things for Christmas and the current state of artificial intelligence. He says that Cupid knows more about matters of love and says he’ll get him on the phone later, but doesn’t.

They talk a little about their Flag Day traditions, and Matt talks about being the volunteer flag raiser for the Starbucks on Slaughter Lane. Dillon has booked a guest and leaves before the guest arrives.

Matt is then quickly greeted by The American Flag, the original 52-star flag manufactured in Sandusky, OH. He was created in 1941 and hand-sewn by Gavin DeGraw – no relation to the singer. The American Flag also lobotomized DeGraw through the eye following his creation. The American Flag has moved around throughout the years and owns a home in Des Moines, IA. His pronouns are flag/flag.

They get a call from The One Star, also known as the Texas State Flag. He is excited to talk about the recent flag reunion that happened in Austin, and confirms that all flags are cousins.

The show is interrupted by Judith Sandusky, who claims to be The American Flag's handler. She is very upset with how dirty the flag looks – noting it's sepia tone look – and wants to take him back to Des Moines. She has been handling the flag for 47 years of her 82 year life and is the official keeper of the flag. Her son, Louis, was supposed to take on the role when she got older, but he's currently in Upstate New York "doing Lord knows what."

Judith and The American Flag have lived in many small towns, including:

* Kaputchi
* Lateradadoo
* Bazingville
* Razzle Ladazzle
* DeBooby
* Lafou
* Tachowsky

The American Flag wanted to come on the show to show off his new sound art, which is essentially just wind foley sounds. Judith is not excited about his new project, but Matt is intrigued. They soon get a call from Yancy Smitherson of the Record Sailing Association in the rich part of Martha's Vineyard. He is wearing two polos and wants to sign The American Flag to a record deal. Matt negotiates the deal and gets a hefty 22% percent of all future profits.

Before Judith and The American Flag leave town to go to Louisville, KY for a 120-person white woman book club, The American Flag sings a new song:

Miss McCheese agrees to turn on both DJs with the other.

Ms. Bombs purchased Baby Protein Shake with a 50% coupon code "DOUBLEHEADS1234PROTEINFOREVER," and came to the studio from Florida to complain about her baby's predicament.

Later in the episode, the studio receives a call from Dan of the Portal People to warn Llewelyn and Bryan about the use of Baby Protein Shake. He is also a user of the shakes, and his age has accelerated at an alarming rate. Dan admits he's only 12 years old, and he is now drinking anti-protein slurries to reverse the process.

Llewelyn becomes increasingly hostile about being compensated for her and Bryan's time on air, but Dillon and Matt don't have payment. In fear of their lives, they flee the studio through a secret exit in the ceiling.

Agatha Christie

## Detailed Biography

She works directly with customers who are having problems specific to their Panettones, and business picks up during and after the holiday season. She helps people who don't know what to do with their leftover bread via FaceTime or Zoom, and she is very passionate about her job. She has a tree nut allergy, so she is unable to try the treat.

Agatha's parents split over a Panettone-specific argument when she she just seven years old growing up in Twin Trees, MN – where trees curiously always grow in pairs of two. Because of this childhood trauma, Agatha vowed to help others avoid the same fate that befell her parents. Her father also named her Agatha after the writer due to his love of mysteries.

She loves her job and vacations a few months out of the year, which she typically spends at any ocean because she likes them all so much.

She was not happy with the fact that their studio didn't have air conditioning and felt misled by the original Craiglist ad that convinced them to take the job.

In "Sad Boys & Sad Girls Part 2," Penny Lane is once again tricked into DJing a Double Heads Variety Hour show, due to Matt posting a new and intentionally vague Craigslist ad. She is once again sad because her dog's favorite shirt recently ripped, and she promotes a new line of Baby Protein Shakes that she is selling.

## Detailed Biography

This puts Jack in a bad mood.

## Overview

They don’t go into details about why they’re breaking up, but they do talk about the universal key hidden outside of KOOP’s studio. Dillon gives the key to Matt, informs him that he booked a guest for the show, and leaves.

Matt plans to curate a show of only contemporary classical, but he quickly gets a call from Matt Thomas, the No. 1 Talking Heads cover band fan in Tennessee. When asked about his accomplishment, it becomes clear that he’s just a fan of any Talking Heads cover band, and not one band in particular.

The guest Dillon booked is Donnie Delilooe (pronounced Duh-Lih-Low), who is an employee of both Spencer’s and Hot Topic. He is also studying psychology at University of Phoenix and is originally from Sandusky, OH, where he built both a boat and Sandusky Lake. He is 53 years old and has been working for Spencer’s and Hot Topic for 30 years. He was recently brought to Austin as the last employee of both stores to bring them back to working order. Neither company offers health insurance.

Donnie brought a couple other mall friends – which he refers to as mallers – to the studio. Jerry Jones works at Build a Bear, and Booger is a “floater” who is just trying to convince the mall to set up a carnival. Booger is wearing a bright red uniform and explains his new hand-turned, 10 foot PVC ferris wheel at length.

Jerry needs to leave the show because she needs 7 hours of sleep, but her routine begins at 3am every morning for her coffee and egg sandwiches. She has a hobby farm with chickens and is familiar with Dillon’s Primus, the emu farm in Lockhart.

Booger needs money, and Donnie graciously provides $20. Booger also provides some pro tips on how to steal clothes from Zumiez. Donnie confirms that there’s a 20% off sale on everything black at Hot Topic this week, and at Spencer’s you just have to bring active fireworks for a discount.

They get into a discussion about Catch 22 and Streetlight Manifesto and which wave each band belongs to. Dillon gets nostalgic about the ska scene he grew up in.

Matt is about to start a segment where he asks Dillon 12 questions about ska, but suddenly Dillon's notebook starts materializing writing he's never seen before.

The Food Abides

## Overview

Double Heads Variety Hour presents “The Food Abides” where DJs Dillon Minacci and Matt Fox present a playlist combining songs about food and the Big Lebowski soundtrack. A stranger visits the studio and shares his thoughts on milk and orange juice. Listen to the episode.

## 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 get a call from Jack London (not the author), who is a Texan visiting England and very confused by European customs such as double-decker busses and low ABV beers. The DJs offer to send Dan and his GTV to rescue Jack.

Mr. Bumblebee Tuna is willing to sell the DJs the boat back to them for a "Costco Hundo," which equals 100 USD. The DJs decide this is probably a good deal and agree to pay.

Longtime listener Pete Best calls in with a request for Fishbone, using the memorable line "more ska, less jaw." They also get a call from Aileen, who is a local theremin player and claims to have bested Fishbone frontman Angelo Moore in a theremin battle years prior.

They decide the genres complement, noting: "If you build it, they will skank."

Winners & Losers

## Overview

Double Heads Variety Hour presents “Winners & Losers" where DJs Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci presents a playlist combining songs about winners and losers. They talk to Dr. Bronner about a recent job change, win an award, and get insulted by a caller. Listen to the episode.

## Episode Summary

The show opens with Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci talking about TJ Masters's mastery of both juggling and country music, both of which he performed at a show the night prior. They don't have much else planned for the show, but before they can figure out next steps, Dr. Bronner arrives to deliver a special package for the DJs. Dr. Bronner has recently been let go from his eponymous company and taken a job as a mail deliver for the United States Postal Service.

The special package turns out to be a Silver Mic Award, which was recently awarded to Double Heads Variety Hour for the Wildcard #1 category: "Don't Quit Your Day Job." Dillon and Matt are confused by the award, and Dr. Bronner believes it's meant to be an insult rather than a compliment. To boost everyone's spirits, Dr. Bronner provides a curated playlist from an iPod he found in his mail truck. As their melancholy further deepens, Matt and Dillon play tunes about losers.

Dr. Bronner's choices of songs are all clearly pop songs that just use Flo Rida's "Apple Bottom Jeans" as they lyrics, but Dillon and Matt are unable to convince him of this. They further discuss the reasons for Dr. Bronner losing his job at Dr. Bronner's, and it becomes apparent that his development of birthday cake-flavored soap is likely the reason. He also confesses that he was not allowed to listen to music for his nine years at the company.

To lighten the mood, a caller named Tiffany checks in to provide words of aspiration, but by the end of the call she says the show is a "trainwreck" and she "doesn't know why [she] listens," which only deepens the DJs collective depression. Also, a North Austinite named James calls in to complain that he is constantly late to work because of the time it takes to read the text on Dr. Bronner's bottles.

They decide the genres contradict, although Dr. Bronner votes complement.

It's Got to Be Ska Part 8

## Overview

Double Heads Variety Hour presents "It's Got to Be Ska Part 8," where DJs Matt Fox & Dillon Minacci present a playlist combining ska from Japan and the UK. They win a prize from Ellen Degeneres, discuss candy bar prices, and sing a song. Listen to the episode.

## Episode Summary

Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci are barely able to get the show started before they get their first caller. The caller happens to be friend of the show Arlo, who is excited to share two new love facts:

1. Time can mend and break hearts
2. 70% of trains are on the east coast

It quickly becomes clear that Arlo not only loves trains, but he might rely on them for housing. He hasn't looked in a mirror in 13 years, and his girlfriend was recently clipped by a car. His favorite candy bar is the Caramello.

Dillon begins to complain about the price of Butterfingers, which he finds unreasonable considering he wasn't given a king-sized bar. The DJs discuss candy bar sizes for what might be considered too long, and Matt then changes the subject to share that earlier that day he received a text from celebrity Ellen DeGeneres. In the text, Ellen informs Matt that he has received $500,000 and a Lexus SUV. She also says that she has a nonprofit which the DJs believe is called: "helping peoples for covid-19 at touching lives and helping peoples as God has blessed me and I'm giving back to the needed because a giving hand never lack." The text is also very clear about texting to claim the prize and not calling.

After playing some music, they quickly get a call from Joel Noscam, who claims to be a representative from Ellen's nonprofit. He says that Dillon called the number even though they were told not to, and now Matt has to split the winnings with him. Joel also requires the DJs to answer questions about math and presidents, which they nail.

They later get a call from Ellen herself, who claims to be trapped in a warehouse in Weehawken, NJ. She was captured by a group of "jump out boys," who politely led her into the warehouse. She finds Matt to be a beautiful, smart boy, hence why he won the cash and car. The DJs are uncertain whether or not they can help rescue her from the warehouse, but she sticks around to help them close out the show.

They decide the genres contradict.

Double Heads Variety Hour Wiki

**Welcome to the Double Heads Variety Hour Wiki!**

The Double Heads Variety Hour seeks to answer the question “is two actually better than one?” Part music discovery, part comedy, and part educational, DHVH is an experiment presented by two DJs whose tastes overlap just as much as they run from one another. Each episode features two separate musical themes – one picked by each DJ – with selections played side-by-side. Will avant-garde saxophone soloists pair well with outlaw country? Will electronic drones and metal drones find common ground? There’s only one way to find out! The constantly changing music landscape provides unique juxtapositions and opportunities to explore genres within each week, and mainstay segments such as “Probably Plant Talk,” “Fan Mail,” and “The Thereminute” provide stability and laughs throughout.

Pamela Pomerino Paulson

## Detailed Biography

During "We Bought a Volcano Part 3," the DJs meet a Polish man named Vlad, who describes himself as a pets control professional. He claims to have recently killed a queen rat in tunnel 6, which leads to the center of the earth. There is still a rat king on the loose, which he continues to hunt. He has been in the volcano since its inception, but he won't explain further. He is an employee of VolCorp and also friends with Chuck Mangione and Sun Ra, both of whom Vlad brought to the volcano to perform live during Double Heads Volcano Hour.

Matt starts to notice that Vlad's beard is falling off, and quickly realizes that Vlad's entire getup is a costume. Vlad then admits that her real name is Veronica Volcano, and she is the heiress of VolCorp. She disguised herself as Vlad to be an undercover boss and planted cameras on all the rats.

When the DJs ask about the whereabouts of all the people they've met over the past weeks, Veronica explains that they've all been given their own private islands. Dillon is excited about the idea, but Matt believes this is just a euphemism for murder.

Matt then tries to figure out how to break Dillon's brainwashed state by playing songs with "relax" in the titles. While the first one doesn't work, he finds success with "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and suddenly both Dillon and Veronica are broken out of their spells. Veronica's real name is Pamela, and she is the mother of Paulie Pomerino Paulson, who has remained in the volcano ever since his mother was kidnapped and brainwashed. She is from Matamoros, so she leaves the volcano and goes home.
Brain.gif

Brain.gif is the paraphrased name for a file which is constantly sent by users Sp3ctreZ and LimeLight, much to the frustration of everyone else. InfiniteSouls goes out of his way to delete every instance of the file in the server. The reason for this is that it contains a rather disturbing depiction of a brain expanding until is ends up breaking out of a CGI human's head, when the face of the human is already unsettling enough. The animation was likely created in Blender.
