As usual, this episode rocked ‘em.
@Randy mentioning Y2K made me think about what other historical events (or non-events) the boys would have monitored over the years had the Trap Draw been broadcasting. Have to think they’d have been all over Kony 2012. Lord’s Resistance Army, things of that nature.

Balloon Boy, the Phoenix lights, and Ted Kazyinski’s manifesto immediately come to mind.

You have to imagine the boys would have sussed out the mortgage crises before the '08 crash if they’d had the opportunity to monitor the situation

“What!?”

TC: Randy I know these are trying times during this Depression we are in, but have you heard our friends Down Under have started a new war?
BR: This is news to me TC, and doesn’t sound like good news I might add. Who are the Australians fighting?
TC: Emu birds, Randy.
BR: They’re fighting BIRDS?!
TC: They’re calling it the Great Emu War of Australia, Randy. They’re growing tons of extra wheat to help survive the depression and it’s attracted thousands of emus. Thousands, Randy. They can’t be controlled so the military is starting to hunt them down.
BR: Is an emu even a bird of prey, TC?
TC: Who could say, Randy? Who could say…
