Probably Plant Talk

## Overview

Double Heads Variety Hour presents "Probably Plant Talk," where DJs Dillon Minacci and Matt Fox present a playlist combining ska and plant music. They catch up with a hotel owner, discuss tattoos, and give plant advice. Listen to the episode.

## Episode Summary

Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci begin the show by announcing a new special type of episode. Back by popular demand, they are making fan favorite segment “Probably Plant Talk” an entire episode. They request that people call in and banter a lot while waiting on a call that never comes.

Their first caller is Pete Best, who requests moisturizer for his new tattoo, which is of a smiley face on his forearm. The DJs do a bad job figuring out his last name, and he has nothing to say about plants.

Hotel operator Dirty Dani calls in but requests to be referred to as Sandra – because of Sandra Bullock. The Herpey Hotel is going very well, and they are now 15 stories high with 20 rooms per floor. They have one lizard per room, and they source them naturally. The lizards live in shoes – sometimes the guests’ shoes, sometimes ones the hotel provides. Dillon suggests they incorporate banana plants into the room décor, and both DJs suggest they use ska for elevator music.

Dillon reveals that his dog, Fergus, got a job over the weekend and banks at Paws Alive, a bank located within the fenced side of Barton Springs. It is concealed by magic.

They get another call from a man named Jake, who has a question about some blood sage plants that started growing aggressively after being fed boar milk. Some have grown into the clouds and have since dropped golden eggs from the sky. The ones that haven’t grown that high break Jake’s windows and whisper to him at night. Jake is tempted to climb the stalks but is not very good at climbing – his preferred sports are rugby and horseshoe throwing.

## Detailed Biography

Esther P works for Texas Dairy Forever and arrived after smelling a lack of dairy products wafting from the studio door. She has a truck full of Texas dairy products and is traveling around the city unloading product by the pallet for anyone interested. When the DJs point out they have some dairy products on the table, she dismisses them as "reeking of Wisconsin cow," and further explains that her goal is to raise awareness of the danger of midwest cattle. She also won't explain why, but says that the milk cult in Buda no longer exists. The DJs are also pretty certain her last name is Partridge. She gives them 12 pallets of shelf-stable dairy.

She details that she grew upon the only dairy farm in west Texas, which was operated by her parents, Martha and Fred P. As a child, she slept in the barn with the cows for comfort and warmth, thus fostering her passion for dairy. She did not go to college, and she is selling "Dairy Freak" stickers for those interested.

Esther later explains that the Texas dairy she is promoting has all come from wild boars, and that she cannot legally sell it, hence all the product being free. She operates a wild boar sanctuary, where they harvest the milk – also known as blooming – through a cuddling technique that involves microwaved towels and cotton blankets. She is a frequent attendee of conferences including Women in Milk and Dames for Dairy.

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.

The DJs offer to take Pitchy to the capitol over the weekend in case he wants to throw the baseball then. Frank barges back into the studio and is terrified to discover that the Pitchbot 3000 has unlocked its baseball inclinations. He immediately tries to destroy Pitchy, but the DJs fend him off.

## Overview

Billies McGee is an entrepreneur currently operating Volcano Chicken with his brother, Timmy McGee.

## Detailed Biography

The DJ's get a call from Billies McGee, an entrepreneur who pitches Volcano Chicken, a plan that involves buying property beside a volcano, raising chickens on said property, and then they are spicy to eat. He has experience doing this in Hawai'i but says that Indonesia could work too. Matt asks if the eggs are also spicy, but Billies hasn't thought about that before. He needs $420,000 and offers a 69% ownership in the company.

They later get a call from Timmy McGee, the brother of Billies McGee, who claims that Billies stole his idea of Volcano Chicken, and that it would only work in Hawai'i. Timmy claims that his spicy chickens are eight heat notches above Nashville Hot Chicken and that the chickens are also all fireproof, which has proved helpful during the recent wildfires. Timmy is currently leasing a volcano but would like to purchase it outright with a $1 million investment. Billies then jumps on the mic and the two brothers get into a heated argument about who owns the rights to Volcano Chicken.

## Detailed Biography

During "Jury Duty Part 4," the DJs meet fellow juror McDoctor Deandra Dedith, a Grimace impersonator and amateur dentist. She arrives to Dairy Court from the Hairyverse, but they don't have enough time to dig in deeper about what that actually means.

Dr. Bronner

## Overview

Dr. Bronner is a mail deliverer for the United States Postal Service. He is also the former owner of Dr. Bronner's, a popular soap company.

## Detailed Biography

Dr. Bronner calls into Double Heads during "Birthday Boys" to wish Dillon Minacci and Matt Fox happy birthday. During the call, he also announces that Dr. Bronner's will release a birthday cake-flavored soap in honor of the DJs birthdays. When Matt and Dillon ask Dr. Bronner about his degree credentials, he quickly hangs up.

During "Winners & Losers," Dr. Bronner surprises Matt and Dillon as their new mail deliverer. He was recently let go from Dr. Bronner's after the board was disturbed by his experimentation with birthday cake-flavored soap. He is 29 years old and was appointed to the title of "Dr. Bronner" at age 20, per family tradition. During his time at the company, he reveals that he was not allowed to listen to music.

Dr. Bronner brings a strange package to the studio during Adult Male Friendship, sending him and DJ Matt Fox on a trip to the local Chuy's, where they attempt to rescue Mike Korolla. Throughout the ordeal, Dr. Bronner reveals that he still has hundreds of bottles of his birthday cake-flavored soap, which he uses on his body, around the house, and in his tea every morning. Later in the episode, he uses the soap to lather up his naked body, which he and the DJ slide under the bathroom stall to rescue Mike, only to find that the whole entrapment was an elaborate prank.

He is currently seeking a new outlet for manifesto writing.

During "100 Years of Double Heads," Dr. Bronner shows up, and while the DJs hope he's bringing mail, he's just there to talk about his milk delivery work with Austin Powers (who is just a front for the Dairy Courtisan) and his birthday cake flavored soaps.

Dr. Bronner makes a final appearance during "Every Hotel Room" to let the DJs know he is dying, but he won't say why. He vaguely hints that he needs a number of organ donations to survive, and that he also has recently gotten really into crate digging for vinyl records. He also mentions that he might be only 1.5 years old. The DJs sympathize with his plight, and make an ask to their fans to see if anyone has organs to spare.

Dr. Bronner then reveals a dark truth: he is actually a clone of the real Dr. Bronner and is merely an organ farm to harvest from whenever the real Dr. Bronner needs organs. This explains why the Dr. Bronner the DJs know loves eating soap. As he says himself: "I deliver my mail, I eat my soap."

The DJs conclude the show offering Dr. Bronner one last moment to read his manifestos, which he poetically ends with "Dilute, dilute, okay."

City Management

## Overview

Double Heads Variety Hour presents "City Management," where DJs Dillon Minacci and Matt Fox present a playlist combining Nashville and Los Angles songs. They negotiate business deals, interview a politician, and stay humble. Listen to the episode.

## Episode Summary

Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci are finally back together in the studio for the first time in weeks. Ever since the DJ duo was nominated for *Austin Chronicle*'s 2024 Music Awards, they have been in NYC, Nashville, and Los Angeles making deals and talking with industry heavy-hitters. Because of their newly-attained fame, the DJs discuss the need to use their voice to help the common man, but before they can do so they get a number of calls.

Their first caller is Clint from Net-Flicks, which Clint alleges is Netflix's top competitor. Clint is willing to offer the DJs $75,000 per episode, and when the DJs try to negotiate Clint hangs up. They get a second call from Patricia Scarsborough, who is the head of Trish Scarsborough Agency (also known as TSA). While she wouldn't let the DJs into the TSA building when they attempted to attend an in-person meeting in LA, she is now willing to offer them 1,500 Buc-ee Bucks; 3,000 Costco hotdogs; and a monument of fame to be built underwater in LA. They also get a call from a very nice man named Caleb who confirms that DHVH is an "inspiration to average joes who dream of making it big in a big cityThey decide the genres complement." He also claims to have cried full bottles of tears because of the show.

After getting through the callers, the DJs are then excited to welcome local politician Kevin Curtin to the studio. Kevin has come to the show to announce that he has officially applied for the position of Austin's City Manager. He was recently at the career center next to the probation office and saw the application, and after creating a resume, figured he was fit for the job. During the episode, Kevin lays out a number of campaign promises which include:

* Providing KOOP with headphone pads
* Decriminalizing missing car windshields
* Changing 311 to 1011
* Making 311 a line that just plays 311's "Amber"
* Subsidizing a house drummer for every venue
* Subsidizing five drink tickets per musician for every venue
* Encouraging more loitering
* Renaming I-35 to I-36 (but only the new part with all the parks on it)

They get a call from 311 frontman Nick Hexum, who also requests that 311 be put on the upcoming Creed tour, which Kevin says might be possible. Nick confirms that the band also supports the drink ticket mandate so long as they can use them to get their favorite drink, We Hate You Scott Stapp (which is just Red Bull and Bailey's). The more the DJs pry into Nick's ambitions, it becomes clear he wants to be on the Creed tour to exact revenge for what happened in the Summer of '99.
