"Radio Freak Hazelnut" is the 16th episode of the second season of Pepper Ann. It aired on December 5, 1998.

Synopsis[]

Pepper Ann stumbles upon a pirate radio show run by a student named Wayne Macabre, who trashes everything Pepper Ann loves.

Plot[]

Pepper Ann tries to win tickets to a Flaming Snot concert by listening to the radio and being the tenth caller. As she sits in class, she picks up a frequency from a young boy named Wayne Macabre who makes sexist and contrary opinions against Pepper Ann's. When she learns that they are coming from the school, she makes a scene and heads straight to Principal Hickey's office demanding that Macabre be taken off the air. While Hickey is all for shutting him down, he cannot as he is practicing his first amendment and therefore is powerless to stop him.

Pepper Ann informs Nicky and Milo about him and tries to shut Macabre down, but to no avail. Ironically, Pepper Ann takes him out of obscurity from her boycotting and everyone becomes aware of him, especially when he directly attacks her. Left with very little options, Pepper Ann breaks into the recording room and is confronted by Macabre himself who calls her a coward for not even trying to defend her side. She in turn accuses him of cowardice and suggests that she have him on her show, to which he reluctantly agrees.

Everyone tunes in to hear Pepper Ann and Macabre go head to head with their opinions, specifically about girl's soccer. Pepper Ann seemingly wins when she points out that Macabre has never played the sport, but Hickey shuts the show down when a Tejano radio station offers to buy their equipment. Afterwards, Pepper Ann tells her friends that she was happy to get her opinion out and Macabre agrees to concede. However, Pepper Ann will not let him off the hook that easily and keeps her word by challenging and humiliating him at soccer.
