 Celebrity Awareness Day | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00

Doctor Thornberry, of the first Spiderman movie, is the first caller to try and promote his "celebrity." This leads to Steven Tylerico, a Steve Tyler impersonator, to call and explain what he does to beautiful women on dates. Tiffany Amber Thiessen proves to be the first real celebrity to call.\n Two old callers, both of whom have fledgling bands, call to add to the fray. They are Gib from the band GIB (Gardening in Biodomes) and Joe from the band GIP'D (Gardening In Possible Biodomes). Besides their metal bands, they are both trying to help Ernie of Sesame St. escape from the secret biodome he is imprisoned in.\n Brad Pitt joins and then welcomes the crass Gonzo, who lets his bad attitude out on POTG Radio. His wordplay is combined with that of Steven Tyler and Steven Tylerico (the impersonator), with madness resulting.\n You'll also hear more from Brad Pitt, Mona Lisa, ex-wrestlers Starman and Gorilla Gross, "Mark Twain" (who is actually Roseanne Barr on LSD), and Smokey the Bear.

 The Greatest Pool Ever Made | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00

Host Deaze Beans begins by speaking of a pool he made up with an 8th grade acquaintance, only to find out it is now real. Each cabana is equipped with special amenities, and humans are only allowed to join if they have an IQ of exactly 137. Calls are taken from Yolenz, who is a fake Ken doll, and Scott Baio's Drugs.\n The discussion of the fantastical "pool" continues with Scott Baio's Drugs, Yolenz the fake Ken doll, and the very polite Monty Python Foot, who is a cook at the pool.\n "The Pool" keeps dominating discussion as King Hudson joins the show; apparently the whole pool is a way for a mysterious woman to court him. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs also join the fray and continue their technological feud.\n "The Real Aunt Jemima" is in rare form, looking for a date with any and all of the hosts.

 Beware the Canasta Brothers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00

The madness begins with a call from Snail/Wildebeest, quickly followed by William(Hurt)/Amoeba. It doesn't take long to find out that "Roland," Ronald's half-brother, is behind the DNA experiments, as well as a bagel fast-food chain. This prompts Ronald himself to call, and then Grimace's brother, Gimnael, who initially thinks he is Bob Dylan because he is coming off of an LSD trip. Gimnael's right-hand man in his motorcycle gang, Piglet, then joins.\n NYC's own East River calls, followed by the thorn in his side, the Harlem River. Then old radio competitor Newton Folds calls, who has given up his show and is now running a service that alerts people as to when they are being talked about on POTG Radio. The trans-gender Whale Man calls looking for a date, and gets a suitor.\n Birdman's estranged son, Birdbest (who, unlike his father, is a friend to POTG Radio), calls looking not for a date, but a mate. This prompts several obvious candidates to call: Richard Simmons' Skeleton, Edward Scissorhands, and Skeeter's Back.\n You'll also hear how POTG Radio's phone carrier drops them mid-show, stopping the calls for a few minutes, and what POTG Radio producer Willow does to fix this.

 Lite Brite Food Fights | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00

A mistaken caller believes he has reached a consumer complaint line. This leads to the revelation that there are adult versions of the pictures from the popular '80s toy Lite Brite. One of the featured characters from such pictures, Responsible Yet Promiscuous Buffalo Man, calls, followed by Yams, the fertility beast.\n Gonzo calls to help his friend, R.Y.P. Buffalo Man, sort things out with Yams the fertility beast and discuss how they like to pick up women and party hard. Dr. Time calls to try and exploit R.Y.P. Buffalo Man's "superpower."\n Gonzo and R.Y.P. Buffalo Man stay on from the previous segment to welcome Mickey Andy Charley, the boy who used to be the model on boxes of H-O Farina (also known as Cream of Wheat). The "New Quaker Oats Man" calls to try and mentor the ex-farina boy and stop Gonzo and R.Y.P. Buffalo Man from trying to corrupt him.\n You'll also hear from Vanilla Ice and Milli as they announce their new album, and their friend, the ganja-loving Scooter, who is apparently still possessed by a Jamaican soul.

On a previous episode Godzilla befriended the Burger King, who now rides on his back.

 Breaking the Law | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00

"Young David Hasselhoff," the cloned version of, well, David Hasselhoff in his youth, comes up against the Canadian version of himself. As discussed in a previous episode ("President's Day Blow Out," 2007), there are many Hasselhoff clones wandering about. Gimnael, Grimace's brother and leader of a motorcycle gang, invites himself onto the show in his typical manner.\n Wherever Gimnael is, his right hand-man in his motorcycle gang, Piglet, is not too far away. They are exiled in Canada since Piglet is on the run from the law. Gimnael is afraid that the previous segment's discussion of American-Canadian hostilities will incite violence between his gang and their sworn enemies, the harlequins who live in the Canadian plains. Geraldo calls to try to be Piglet's lawyer, and General Gyro calls to make Piglet and Gimael an offer to join his army.\n General Gyro stays on the phone to welcome video game stars Mario and Luigi, still in Vegas after Luigi's legal troubles there. The Brothers' old cohort, Toad, now rich from Saudi oil, calls to offer them jobs in his new casino, and the transgender Louis Louise calls to offer his/her services for giving feedback on Mario's proposed return to the stage – as a stripper.\n Continuing the discussion with the Mario Brothers, Kato Kaelin, O.J. Simpson's infamous former house sitter, calls. He reveals that the Mario Brothers in fact went to Beverly Hills high school after moving from NY to LA in their teens as they were attempting to break into the entertainment industry. Luigi and Kaelin had a rap group for about five minutes while in high school. Ex-video game star Toad is still on the phone, trying to get this motley crew to work for him.

Richard Simmons' Shorts and the Laces (on the shorts) call from the Philippines.

Then the man himself calls to start explaining what that means...\n While the hosts are talking to Richard Simmons, his Shorts, Laces on the shorts, and the Stain, fast food mogul Teriyaki Boy calls. Then a Wizard (walrus/lizard) calls, as does Michael Jordan, Mr. Wizard (an actual wizard), and pro wrestler Gorilla Gross.\n An old character, LSD, wafts into the airwaves and, as usual, changes everyone into their alternate personalities. First, the hosts become strippers, and then, Michael Jordan becomes Barbara Streisand, who falls in love with Gorilla Gross, who now sees himself in a new light and instantly softens to become "Gorilla Grace." Elton John calls, and Grimace calls to marry Michael/Barbara and Gorilla Grace.\n Yotesh is the herder who guards the Essence of Italy, currently residing in a mountain in Albania.

CJ, the thief who became impaled on the British crown jewels and thus through a strange process is now royalty, joins as a contestant, along with Satan, who technically is equally male and female. Then there is BQEesha, a piece of the BQE (Brooklyn-Queen Expressway) in New York City.\n Questions for the third batch of Ms. POTG Radio contestants continue, though technically this is more of a command: to tell their parents something they've never said to them before. But who could be the real parent of a woman like CJ whose blood was changed, let alone Satan, or a piece of a highway in New York?!\n The third question for the third batch of Ms. POTG Radio contestants involves Birdbest, who is woken up to perform a practice eulogy for Satan.
