Double Hearts Variety Hour Part 2

## Episode Summary

Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci bring back a fan favorite theme of the show, where they speak in sexy voices and offer relationship advice to anyone who needs it. Dillon's voice veers towards sounding like an action movie trailer announcer, and they quickly move into music since no on immediately calls in.

After the first song, a man named Arlo wanders into the studio. He is primarily interested in talking about love, and explains that he has worked to collect "love facts" throughout his live. He is from Fayetteville, North Carolina, but has also spent time in the Motion City Soundtrack Universe (MCSU) as well as the Dashboard Confessional Universe (DCU) – and in the latter he is regarded as a hero. He has never been to Virginia and has no interest to visit.

Their first caller is Maria from Greece, who – instead of asking for advice – decides to give the DJs advice about relationships. Her strategy is to find people with money, marry them, and then divorce them to get said money. She has done this four or five times in her life, which earns her enough money to attend SXSW.

Ladybird Diana calls in and also decides to give the DJs advice. She is sitting on the shore of Town Lake and watching the sunset. Her romantic advice is that there is no love without sacrifice, and that "if you're feeling it, and it's legit, don't be petty." She gives a shout out to Luka and Isabel, and Matt suggests she not put her feet in the water due to current red algae issues.

The DJs ask further into Arlo's hero status in the DCU, which he explains is a title anyone can secure there so long as you sacrifice, vindicate and ultimately find love.

A third caller, Rose, also decides to provide advice, and at this point the DJs realize they will not be giving advice on the show. Rose says that anything except love is an illusion or delusion, and that there are not other actual needs in the world. She shouts out her life partner, who she has been with since 1969 – although their name is never said.

Judah from Buda calls in trying to think of a song that he can't remember the name of. The DJs and Arlo struggle with this for a while, but it winds up just being "Where is the Love?" by the Black Eyed Peas. They promise they'll play it later.

Garret calls in and is kind of confused and never really says anything. Dicky Panzerati also calls in and asks where the best place to watch the Superbowl would be. They determine the answer is a car.

Andi calls in to provide more advice and acts as if she's a fourth DJ. When it comes to relationships, she says "Find someone like you, then walk away. Find someone similar to you, and make sure they're not exactly like you. Make sure you agree on most things and can stand being within five feet of one another."

Delilah calls in with an actual request for advice. She is a collector of clowns, but her boyfriend is very put off by her hobby. When the DJs pry further, it's revealed that Delilah actually collects human clowns, and she currently has around 30 of them living in her basement. She claims they don't mind their life down there, and she drives them around town frequently in a clown car.

The final call comes from Harietta, who is stuck in what is essentially the plot of *50 First Dates*. Arlo suggests she play Dashboard Confessional instead of The Beach Boys.

They decide the genres complement.
