Scores on Scores Part 2

## Overview

Double Heads Variety Hour presents “Scores on Scores Part 2," where DJs Matt Fox and Dr. Bronner present a playlist combining video game and film music from the early 2000s. They meet a VHS tape, investigate a gas leak, and debate Chao parenting. Listen to the episode.

## Episode Summary

Matt Fox and Dillon Minacci open the show with a recap of "Election Night" results that came in following the episode's conclusion. A final vote (and poignant analysis) came in for Tom Waits, which Matt read on air. This put the vote to a tie once again, and both Paul Simon and Tom Waits won Double Heads shirts. The DJs also plug the Thanksgiving Marathon happening next week, which they've totally planned out.

To kick off the theme of this week, Matt brings in a tube tv with built-in VHS playing capabilities for the DJs to enjoy and smash following the show. When the hit the eject button, a VHS pops out and begins speaking to them. Her name is Beta Max, and she was in the same TV since 1999. She is completely unaware of what's happened over the past 23 years and still thinks I Luv Video is in business. The DJs prolong breaking the bad news and play music instead.

Jacob from Texas Gas Service calls in and is concerned about Dillon's mental lapses throughout the episode. He suggests there might be a gas leak in the studio, and both the DJs and Beta admit they don't feel great. Jacob can't make it to the studio until after the show ends, so they decide to ignore the issue.

Beta later reveals that she understands how time moves, and that her time in the TV was actually enjoyable since she was fulfilling her purpose throughout. At this point the DJs inform her that I Luv Video went out of business in 2020, but that there is a new non-profit in town called We Luv Video that is working actively to bring the glory of the beloved video rental store back to life.

They receive a call from Ryan, who discusses his strategy to raising Chaos in *Sonic Adventure 2* and also reveals that he may or may not have been the individual who owned the TV, which also means he may or may not have kept Beta hostage for 23 years. The DJs then introduce the internet to Beta and encourage her to explore weluvmusic.org to learn more about this wonderful and nascent non-profit.

Tom from Myspace calls after being cryogenically frozen since 2005, and for some reason Double Heads is his go-to place. He asks the DJs if a number of bands are still popular, including Panic! At the Disco, Armor for Sleep, and We Came as Romans. Dillon then asks Tom what his "Top 4" would be in 2022, and he replies:

1. George W. Bush
2. Pete Wentz (of Fall Out Boy)
3. The Warped Tour security guard who let him sneak in alcohol
4. The other Warped Tour security guard who also let him sneak in alcohol

Tom is still in Des Moines, IA, the capital of frozen CEOs, and hopefully soon he will leave his freezing chamber.

After playing the "DK Rap," local moving company owner Dimitri Donkey Kong calls the station to thank the DJs for playing his theme song. He also calls Dillon a racist. The DJs play another round of "The Double Heads is Right" to determine what We Luv Video is doing this weekend, and the DJs win the game.

They decide that the genres complement.
