The boys have a letter-writing campaign during the American Revolutionary War against the British... Then they talk about their dreams, their superpowers, and the NBA finals, before launching into an analysis of what is and isnt considered "The Midwest". Then Breht explains cosmology to Dave, and together they wrestle with the Fermi Paradox and a number of possible solutions to it.

The Boys accidentally time-travel to fuedal Europe where they meet some peasants and save a witch from burning at the stake (kinda). Then they catch up with Dave's recent experiences in a shelter-rehab, in which he tore his ACL going up for a rebound in a recreational basketball game. After that, they talk NBA playoffs, their deepest physical insecurities, the insane vissitudes and challenges of addiction, grappling with dead dreams and failures in life, cultivating hobbies you refuse to monetize, how the mind creates fear of loss in any life-context, the death of god, rejecting the late capitalist urge to optimize your productivity, and finding a dead dog on the traintracks and writing a song about it...

In an episode for a new mini-sode series, DIY Psychoanalysis, David argues that it isn't possible to actually lie to oneself. Although he may just be lying to himself...

David argues for a way life should be that is impossible and therefore pointless to argue. Nonetheless he persisted.
