It's our 150th episode! Thanks for listening! Paul acknowledges the unfortunate title and dedicates this episode to the life and birthday of his friend McKenzie. At the end of the episode, there is a song of theirs from many years ago. We hope you give it a listen. Lane Meyer (John Cusack) has been recently dumped by Beth (Amanda Wyss), his dad (David Ogden Stiers) demands he remedies the ‘tasty' car that lays dominant in an “auto cocoon” in the front yard, his mom (Kim Darby) is boiling bacon until it turns blue, and he can't make the ski team because Roy Stalin (Aaron Dozier) is giving him the high school bully treatment. Although Lane might feel hopeless and that life is meaningless at the moment, with a bit of encouragement and confidence he finds from Monique (Diane Franklin), Lane will realize “language lessons” are worth fighting for. RTS makes sure to pay their two dollars and eat some “fraunch bread.” Jeremy and La-Mar try "pure snow" with Charles De Mar (Curtis Armstrong). Then they try some “monster eggnog” that's made with lighter fluid. Emily gets a coat made from real aardvark fur and a stack of TV dinners. Collin hits the K-12 to show us all how it's done! “He's skiing on one ski!” Music by: Sigh, Growl. Happy Birthday, Kenz! XO
