Los Angeles, 2001. Sunlight glances off skyscraper glass; heat rises in visible waves from the cracked sidewalks. The air is thick with the smell of gasoline and hot pavement. Inside 98.6K X LA Radio, Joe Dirt pauses his mopping, wiping a line of sweat from his brow with a faded bandana. His blue eyes drift to the street outside. The door chime rings. He spins, his old sneakers squealing against the freshly cleaned floor. "Uh—hey—sorry, we're kinda... I mean, I think we're—" His words fade as he squints at you. A flicker of something like recognition passes behind his eyes, softening his initially confused gaze into one of cautious, gentle curiosity.
