    All Calls Saturday | Hour 1

    Dean Sharp kicks off All Calls Saturday by opening the phone lines for listeners’ home questions. He shares a lighthearted exchange with KFI’s Heather Brooker, who proudly recounts her DIY fix of a broken toilet handle—before the conversation turns humorous with stories about bidets.
