TEXT: Skyline: Plane with KACL banner. ACT I Scene 1 - KACL Frasier is taking a call. Frasier: Well, Morrie, if you're not cheating on your wife, and she still suspects you, then we're obviously dealing with a trust issue. Morrie: [v.o.] More like a crazy issue. And I know where she gets it, from her mother - who, by the way, came for Thanksgiving and still hasn't left. Happy New Year! Frasier: Perhaps we should tackle these issues one at a time... Over the line Frasier hears loud knocking. Morrie: I'm in the bathroom, Celeste! A little privacy?! [into phone] See how she gets? Frasier: Well, perhaps what is needed here is... There is a click as Celeste picks up on another phone. Celeste: [v.o.] You think I don't know who you're talking to in there, huh, Morrie? It's your little whore, isn't it? Hello, whore. Frasier: Celeste, if I could interrupt for just a moment... Celeste: A man?! It's worse than I thought. Another click. Mother: [v.o.] Celeste? Celeste: Hang up, Ma! Mother: You're all on the radio. I'm listening down in the kitchen. Morrie: How about washing a dish or two while you're down there? Yet another click. Britney: [v.o.] I cannot stand this yelling! I'm running away from home. Morrie: Oh, hang up the phone, Britney, you're going nowhere. Frasier: And neither is this conversation. [He cuts off the line.] Well, that's our show for today, with a brief program note. My KACL colleagues and I are competing against a team at KPXY to see who can shed the most pounds for charity. We're off to our first weigh-in right now. You can keep track of our progress on Channel 6's Coffee with Kelly. Wish us luck. Bulldog, Kenny, Gil, and No
SUMMARY:
The KACL team has a weight loss competition with a competing radio station. The whole team pigs out just before the first weigh-in just in order to bloat the original numbers. Frasier, however, refuses to participate in such an act of "blatant unsportsmanship ". In the episode's sub-plot, a pigeon flies into Frasier's glass window. Niles and Martin take it upon themselves to nurse it back to health. At the initial weigh-in, Frasier recognizes one of his "mortal enemies" from his high school days participating on the opposing team. The two make a bet on the outcome of the winner, with Frasier's dignity pitted up against a new chess set. The KACL team undergoes increasingly extreme measures to lose weight, including a complete fast 24 hours before the final weigh-in. Furthermore, Frasier has converted his bathroom into a steam room , and invites the entire KACL team to use it to shed some more weight before the final weigh-in. In conclusion of the sub-plot, Eddie takes the pigeon out of the box and eats it unbeknown to Frasier. Shortly afterwards, Kenny Daly says he needs to get a glass of water from the kitchen. Suspicious of his intentions, the KACL team suggest Frasier monitor that he doesn't eat anything. He then finds Kenny eating something and feathers all round the pigeon's box. Frasier's shocked cries bring the others. Martin then reveals it was Eddie who ate the pigeon.This news makes everyone lose their appetites for the final few hours of the competition. But at the final weigh-in, the KACL team loses by a mere 2 ounces. Roz then cuts off her hair and KACL wins the competition.
