Dirt also meets Brandy (Daniel) who adores him, but Dirt is oblivious of this, believing she would be better suited to Robby (Kid Rock).Eventually after broadcasting his search on TRL a woman calls in and claims to be his mother. After a brief argument from Carson Daly, she utters "Is this where you want to be when Jesus comes back? Making fun of..." when she is interupted by a shocked Joe Dirt. He realizes that she and his father (and Zander Kelly) are the only ones who could possibly know the enponymous phrase. He goes to the location of the caller only to find out that his parents are impossibly greedy and only looking for financial support from allegedly wealthy Dirt. After an outburst and an attempted sucide Joe Dirt is reunited with his new found family: Brandy, Clem (now Gert), his wife (the owner of the alligator farm he had worked for), and Kickin' Wing.
