2:56:54 – Dave visits the (purported) final resting place of Daniel Boone, Eddie visits his usual windy outdoor places at 33:51, then Eddie and Brendan meander into an indoor place, an Irish pub with a “thing” taped to the wall, and encounter a person called Freddy at 1:29:12. Later, at 2:01:44, Chad re-visits the history of video games, referencing things like Pong and persons like Ralph Baer, and at 2:29:35 Frank visits a Virginia shopping mall and talks about the National Air & Space Museum and (purported) space in general. Is space a thing, or is it the lack of things? One thing is certain: the Kaufman-faked-his-death thing is still a thing.
