Del, after reconfirming he's old when he tries manual labor, goes to Hot Bins shopping for bargains. He fails. This is where your Amazon returns end up, folks.
After Dave's C T scan, the technician warns him the 32-oz plastic fibre milkshake he had to chug beforehand will be exiting shortly. Like very soon. Like, go home NOW.
The Bucks applaud the woman who bought a $3.99 vase at Goodwill and sold it for $107K. Del decides to go back to Hot Bins.
The android [phone] people get to climb the social ladder when the new Beeper Mini app turns their green bubble texts to blue bubbles, JUST LIKE AN IPHONE. Apple is incensed, shutting down the app. Congress gets involved to everyone's relief. Really?
Fast Radio Bursts and a record Solar Flare followed by Coronal Mass Ejections right after the Stan Gordon interview suggest he might be on to something. To quote somebody, " There are no coincidences, only signs of alignment."

Episode-appropriate bonus track is from another Canadian we know and love. Neil sings about WORDS and age lines as only he can.

If we're talking about you, listen to this Jackson Browne song as interpreted by Rachael Price, who literally has one of the most beautiful voices on the plant. This doesn't fit with the episode but Dave likes it so there you are. JB wrote this when he was sixteen.
