Coffee for Communists

The mute, vengeful, and surprisingly talented Andy Steckler has arrived to WXG to audit the studio and deliver justice from the IRS. Ski and Grolph face serious prison sentences and the station's fate lies in the balance. Bargaining with the grim auditor, Grolph challenges Andy to a showdown game of "Commanche or Communist" to try to win his freedom. Meanwhile, Michelobe is noticeably absent and calls from his mother's basement where he has lost his ceremonial cape and is hiding in fear from his stepfather who doesn't know he is there. Tune in to hear a the tragic creation story of an IRS auditor seeking to avenge his father, Ski's theories on things that taste like chicken, a beautiful folk song, and the nailbiting finale to Coffee for Communists.

The studio is located by Stephen Philip Hilliard (Ahndhi Sticha), professional treasure hunter and graduate of Harold Iverson's Institute of Cartography and Oceanic Studies. Mr. Hilliard graciously dispels many misconceptions about treasure hunting, revealing both its more banal and yet sinister aspects. It also comes to light that while he has located many many treasures, he has yet to "unearth" them. They play "Nick Cage, Nick Cage, or Nick Cage."

Spiritual dance guru Genie von Deenie (Eli Saragoussi) graces the airwaves with her cat-inspired dances. Michelobe has just returned from the Conclave of the Mind (where he met Genie) and plans a pilgrimage to a small town in Lithuania to visit a meteor sent by Grouche, an extraterrestrial life-force. Meanwhile, the studio has been announced a superfund site, which provided enough funding for Ski to finally get rid of the turtle, nutria, and alligator infestation caused by incredible amounts of NutraDebt in their diet. However, Grolph has already come down with a super bug carried by the nutria.

A woman has mysteriously fallen out of a tree behind the studio.

Meanwhile Ski has set up a real nice display of bathroom Peeps, Michelobe is passing out his past life woes through his bowels, and Rusty Mexico calls to weigh in on the nutria-beaver infestation on Floor 3. Though the studio can’t exactly help her, she just might be able to help the studio. Get ready to be confused -- follow the rabbits!

All the employees of WXG studios have abandoned the station except for host Grolph Mnudenmeister (Kelly Petronis) and his two headstrong comrades, Ski Shanko (Dan Shinkle) and Michelob Biggs (Mickey Boyd). Margaret, the brains of the operation, is packing up the fax machine, internal documents, and massage table. With her goes the organization and music licensing of a once-thriving ideologically-driven radio station. The remaining members are joined by special guest Daisy Dams (Audrey Beauchamp), who has been living with beaver for some time and has written a sizable volume on the subject.
