Gary finally books an audition – a TV commercial for a mattress store chain – and hires an acting coach to help him prepare. He proves to be a difficult student and things go from bad to worse when he takes the coach’s advice to shadow a mattress salesman at work. Meanwhile, Shirley attempts to set up a psychic hotline to sell spiritual alarm clocks and outdoor lanterns. After hiring a staff of operators, Shirley coaches his new recruits on how to persuade callers that his products will allow them to communicate with the dead. Brendan decides to become the first right-wing Michael Moore and make a documentary celebrating the work of the Minutemen, a volunteer organization on a crusade to keep illegal immigrants out of America.
