Ep 162 | California Dreams: ”Fallen Idol”

Bright lights, big stars, and big dreams all lie ahead dear listeners, and all because Brian, Van, and Spencer are taking a trip back to the very beginning of Boob Tube Boys history and discussing another episode of California Dreams!

This time around the band recieves a bunch of fortune cookies from Sam's Uncle Tse-Tse, and for a few of them it doesn't turn out well. I mean it's nothing horrible, like no one dies in this episode or has an abortion or anything, but it's pretty uncomfortable for Tony, at least. However the racism-laden B-plot pales in comparison to the glorious A-plot which sees Jake running into his lifelong idol: rock superstar Zane Walker

The band auditions for Walker who immediately wants to show them to his producer/manager who says a bunch of stuff that's clearly intended to be about the Chuck Berry song Roll Over Beethoven and there's simply no other way to interpret that dialogue. But is Zane really looking out for the California Dreams' best interests? You'll have to listen in to find out...
