[edit] Synopsis
Beavis and Butt-head are working when the timer goes off on the French fry cooker. Not knowing what the sound means, they assume it is time to turn on the radio. The radio is tuned to the (fictitious) Rabid Ron in the Morning show on a local station. "Rabid Ron", the morning DJ, offers a "guest DJ spot" to the first caller who can correctly answer a trivia question. When no one calls to answer an incredibly easy question about the Beatles (likely implying a very small audience for his show), the two decide to call even though they do not know the answer themselves. At the exact time they call, Rabid Ron changes the rules so that the next caller is immediately awarded the spot. Beavis and Butt-head get through and win the chance to guest host the show.
The duo proceed to engage in their normal, crude conversation while guest hosting, and are reprimanded by Rabid Ron after they tell him that a band whose song he is about to play "sucks". Their continued crudeness, as well as their continual barbs about Rabid Ron's age, drives the DJ to insanity; the breaking point is when Butt-head announces that the prize for the next call-in contest is a free tattoo on the winner's butt (instead of the intended prize, a pair of tickets to a Bon Jovi concert).
As Beavis and Butt-Head leave the studio, the radio station is flooded with calls from listeners who actually want to win the tattoo; the next day at work, the boys turn the radio on only to hear Rabid Ron impersonating them (as the two seem to have suddenly made the show very popular). Beavis and Butt-head are seemingly oblivious to the impersonation, write off the supposely new radio personalities as horrible, and deep fry the radio in the French fry cooker.
