## Episode Summary

Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci are friend again and don't address why they've been fighting for so long. They also have no idea what they're doing for the show, but before the can dig into planning they are interrupted by Dr. Bronner, their mailman, who comes to them with an important announcement.

Dr. Bronner 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.

They get a call from Kid Ney, who is a kidney most likely inside a human. He is very happy living in his 98.6 F home, and his friends include Liv Er, Appen Dix, and Big Brain, who allegedly hates pizza parties. He also doesn't hang out with the spleen, but instead splays out on it to enjoy the weather. He is not very intersted in moving to a new host.

Bamboo Baba G calls in and bills the DJs as his "favorite non-baller ballers." He was told as a kid his IQ was 95.7, which he interpreted as his internal temperature. They also get a call from a man named Ant, who is deeply interested in spiritual AI and calling on "all the plant and animal kingdoms." He might be Australian and converses with an AI version of Jesus Christ.

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."

Before they can ask further questions, a ghost appears. His name is Coolio Coppola, and he Is the grandson of acclaimed director Francis Ford Coppola. He was unemployed during the release of *Apocalypse Now*, but later found luck creating a sequel, *Apocalypse Nower*. He was premiering the film at SXSW, but got locked in what was once Vulcan Video during the COVID lockdown and proceeded to die on St. Patrick's Day 2020 in the space due to dehydration.

When he awoke as a ghost, he found the space being renovated by We Luv Video, a new nonprofit bringing back the beloved I Luv Video concept. He cannot fly in all senses of the word (as a ghost, as a plane passenger, and as a pilot) and has a fixation around Patrick Swayze that the DJs do not dig deeper into.

They get a final call from Hotdog Johnny, who is a hotdog farmer out of Buttsville, NJ, which he swears is a real town. He offers some of the organs that he has from his hotdog production for Dr. Bronner, but at this point Dr. Bronner only has minutes to live, so the offer is fruitless.

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

They decide the genres complement.
