After a long week, we thought Friday would be a good day to use the supercomputer to help us write a song.  So we typed in our weekend plans and the supercomputer came through!Are there items that you used to buy but now you don't because of a significant price increase?  We touch on that as well as a few rounds of Would You Rather.
