Frank was dressed this way when Margaret assaulted him from behind Phil almost loses his shit at the beginning of the show worrying about whether the live feed is up. Then they clear the air about a joke Phil made concerning a "little man, a pixie fucking up the equipment overnight." Turns out Margaret and Frank went to a costume party one night with Margaret dressed as Thomas Jefferson and Frank dressed as a pixie and once they got home Margaret tried to assault Frank from behind with a strap-on.They also had a discussion about how the police detective evolved, Phil explaining that there were "runners," or guys that would, for a price go and get something that had been stolen. The General and Bud couldn't fathom anyone wanting to pay money to get their pig back. Jeff Dowdder memorialized Hobie Alter and talked about the "short sticks" that he uses, "The Waverly, Rip Teen, the Goon Stick and Goon Unlimited." Phil then talked about the development of the Hobie Cat sailboat.

Dowdder said the freedom you feel with the wind flowing up your pant leg is what its all about. General Shaw countered by saying heaven help the man who is coming down in a parachute "feeling all free and breezy and he doesn't notice a baby in a bassinet sucking on a bottle and looking in wonder at the world around him and this lover lands on top of the kid with a sickening squish sound!" Vernon Dozier thinks the Chinese have got some pair on them demanding all kinds of info from the Malaysians. Dozier sent two buddies of his who are down there on construction jobs into the press conference to ask the question "'Scuse me, 'scuse me. When are you bowl haircuts going to climb off everyones back." Mavis Leonard reported on the Oscar Pistorius trial, telling Phil she's been so unnerved by it she's had nightmares about a guy with two Slinky's for legs chasing her. She also sang a blues song about the Slinky called "Slinky on my trail." Pre-shows, where Phil dishes the serious behind the scenes shit, are now available for download. Would I lie to you?

Jeff Dowdder talked about the depressed summer economy in Southern California because after three successful weeks people stopped coming to Mr. Poo's in Hermosa Beach to see his band.
