From Episode “Beware the Canasta Brothers”(47:35 – 63:12)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
