He finds Phil Nixon, a talk radio DJ whose afternoon show is going down the tubes. Having Rudi on the air is a good way of killing time until the management kills his contract. He finds Leon Trotsky Butler, a would-be revolutionary who wants to change the world, if he could only get the world to pay attention.
