Podcastia! You wanted him, you got him. That's right, John Palma is back! This time with even more Butterball-Shock Power and carrying a number 4 wrench! While Christina is out getting her hair cut, Frank snuck John into the studio for another idiotic yet informative conversation.

That's right. "Informative".

There's even a caller who was waiting on hold for most of the episode in hopes of Frank checking the phone.
