In this week's episode Ian wants to Learn... Well, he could just Google it... Or ask Alexa... Or check his phone, or say OK Google, or use his Nest or facebook or Instagram Messenger, or send a text, phone call or email.
Maybe he can see where he's been and try there, or an advertisement will be targeted at his exact need in this moment, divine intervention if you will, from the almighty Algorithm.
Or he can just get away from it all, go live in a cave..... until He's Evicted.

DISCLAIMER: We are not Experts. We do not claim to be. We use the internet, just like you! So between raising a child and working a Fulltime job Patrick does his best to teach Ian. So, you know, enjoy it, but maybe don't swear by it!
Essentially: We Google so you don't have to.
