As the show opens, Jackman Wolf gets a request to play "[[Monster in the Mirror]]". [[Gina]] wants to request her favorite group, [[Little Jerry and the Monotones]], who Jackman tries to reach over the phone. There's a connection problem, so Jackman has Gina request her second favorite group, [[Chrissy and the Alphabeats]]. She can't decide between two songs from that group, so Jackman plays both.
