Join Geoff and Whisp as they grapple with plummeting radio ratings (from #1 to #10 and then #20!). They blame a disastrous “98.6 The Squirt" ad buy and explore the questionable comfort of Chatbot therapy. This episode takes a wild turn with Marvel "What If...?" scenarios, the dangers of Val Verde's Pac-Man Fever-a-Thon, and a truly unforgettable interview with Zimothy Larson (Mike Drucker), the eccentric owner of "Bookshelf Books." Zimothy's struggle with names, his disdain for James Patterson (except during "Eruption"), and the legacy of his father's "Zavid's Sexy Books" add to the chaos.
