The episode humorously explores various everyday topics, from the affordability of bananas to the quirks of restaurant menus and public bathrooms.

What exactly is Quirkle and will it end friendships faster than a heated game of Skip-Bo? Do massive restaurant menus mean flavor galore, or months-old chicken cordon bleu lurking in the kitchen? Does the thought of a hotel’s white duvet cover keep you up at night, or do you blissfully ignore whatever happened pre-check-in? Are public bathroom soap dispensers the cleanest thing in sight, or is old-school towel rolling the real MVP? Are grandparents getting cooler, or are the days of clutch purses and secret candies gone forever? Are you contemplating a future that involves flowy Mrs. Roper dresses or deadlifting to prolong your life, only to recall the bruised disappointment of a weighted hula hoop? Does a space launch make you wonder why astronauts have better WiFi than you at…
