Episode Notes

Episode 59: Teeth Are Not Tools - finds the JESTIES in a heated discussion about what separates humans from animals. From there, the wacky world of improv takes us on a journey only these 4 goofballs could choose to take. Oh, and Dr. Alex Phil tries to give Mr. Christopher Gene Simmons some relationship advice.

• First Attempt at Dr. Phil. FAIL! Alex pulls the plug. Check back later.
• Big D presides over - The People's Court: Alex vs. Alex; Sattler tries to plead his case for pulling Dr Phil bit. Tron tries to explain how the bit could have worked. Chris explains that, perhaps it was a sub-game.
• New and Good: Starting with Chris, who tells us about his band, The Banana Convention's new recordings. New releases, coming soon.
• Then, in the studio, the JESTIES band tries to create new music. Something about a monkey, and a relatable-ranting-traffic-rager, and relegating Alex to playing the triangle.
• Dawn's New and Good: After failing to bring back Dr Phil, she admits that the 101 Students' Showcase was awesome, in spite of having to drop a game at the end of the show - but kept the PARK BENCH game.
• Alex and "Schmeeve" negotiate  the PARK BENCH game.
• INSIDE BASEBALL: Young Tron has been playing baseball inside his house, and his mother is not happy. Young Tron tries to fix up his playing field with cushioning and chintz fabric. 
• Dawn has to explain chintz fabric, supposedly found in many Conservative households. Apparently there is a lot of Conservative love for fu*king flowers.
• Alex's New and Good: After Carly has returned from an extended vacation, he is taking her to see the new Dune movie. He'll be getting the infamous Dune-2 popcorn bucket.
• Elon calls his top engineering scientists together to create a new device for Tesla drivers. After presenting their invention, Elon ejects each of his scientists, one-by-one.
• Tron admits his first suit was a Trump special - when he was 11-years old, because of The Apprentice.
• You're Fired! - A scene from an episode of Alex Trump's, Apprentice. Gene Simmons guest stars - Not the "dancing Simmons" guy.
• The gang compares their longest, partner-free, dry-spells. They attempt, using Price Is Right-rules, to guess Alex's.
• Finally, Dr Phil welcomes Mr. Gene Simmons to his talk/therapy show, to discuss intimacy and relationships.
